he City of Lawrence on Tuesday announced the names of the East Ninth Project’s eight commissioned artists, and although details of the artists’ plans for the project aren’t available, we do know that all artists involved have ties to the Lawrence or Kansas City region.

“This was an extensive and methodical process to select artists best suited to fulfill the vision of this project,” said Porter Arneill, the city’s director of arts and culture, in a news release. “I want to thank the panelists for their time and expertise in helping to select the artists for this unique project.

All five of the artists chosen for the project’s “East Ninth Artists” opportunity live and work in Lawrence. The three artists selected for “Integrated Artists,” the second ongoing commissioned opportunity of the project, either live in Kansas City or, in the case of one individual, relocated recently from Kansas City to New York.

Here’s an introduction to all eight commissioned artists of the East Ninth Project:

City adds last-minute housing funds to ’16 budget Lawrence city commissioners gave preliminary approval to a $207 million city budget for 2016 after adding another $100,000 in funding for a housing program that will be aimed at reducing the homeless population now being served at the Lawrence Community Shelter.

That last-minute change, which was pushed by Commissioner Stuart Boley, came just three weeks after the city and the Douglas County Commission agreed to provide $100,000 in emergency funding for the shelter to prevent it from having to make immediate Boley program and staffing cuts.

It also came immediately after interim city manager Diane Stoddard had already cautioned commissioners that the 2016 budget overall will deplete some of the city’s cash reserves, a trade-off commissioners made to avoid a property tax increase.

“There does remain in the budget, as it sits, an $894,000 structural deficit,” Stoddard said.

“And we think it’s important to point this out because at some point in the near future, we will not be able to bridge that sort of a gap.”

Normally, city commissions are prohibited from adding new spending to a budget after the draft budget has been published in the official city newspaper. But Lawrence

Search for next city manager begins

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

The city of Lawrence launched its search for a new city manager this week and hopes to have a new manager in place as early as November.

City officials said in a news release Tuesday that they are setting up a series of stakeholder meetings with business, community and neighborhood groups, other local governments and city employees to get a sense of what qualifications people in the community believe are important for a new manager.

The city also said it will post an online survey on its Lawrence Listens Web page, lawrenceks. org/lawrence-listens, to accept input from other city residents.

Commissioner Mike Amyx said the city is conducting a national search and has hired the executive search firm Ralph Anderson and Associates to lead the search.

“One of the things that was important was to get a lot of community feed-

back, and I think we’ve been able to do that,” Amyx said.

The person eventually hired will succeed former city manager David Corliss, who resigned effective June 1 to accept a job in Colorado. Diane Stoddard has served as interim city manager since then.

Under Lawrence’s form of government, the elected commission acts as the legislative and policy-setting body. But the city manager is in charge of day-to-day operations of the city, managing the city’s budget and daily expenditures as well as supervising department heads and administrative staff.

The city said it expects to take applications for eight weeks, beginning Aug. 17. Commissioners will then interview candidates. They hope to make a selection in late October and have a new city manager in place by late November.

rate by about 1.6 mills, or about $30 on a $160,000 home.

The numbers I have for you take a look at what we’re paying in property taxes right now compared with what residents in other large cities in the state pay. I could just list the property tax mill levies for each city and call it good. Local government leaders would be pleased because the total mill levy paid in Lawrence is quite a bit less than in some other cities. Lawrence’s combined property tax mill levy is approximately 129 mills. Compare that with Kansas City’s at 174 mills or Topeka’s at 161 mills or Manhattan’s at 135 mills.

But I think there are two other factors you have to look at to get a full picture: the average value of a home in a community and the average wage for a full-time worker.

The price of the home directly affects the size of your tax bill, and your wage affects your ability to pay it. I use home values from the 2009-2013 Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, and I use a census figure from the same source that estimates the median wage for a full-time, yearround, male employee.

I use that number because it factors out the thousands of college students who aren’t really in Lawrence to earn any money at the moment. I wish the Census Bureau made a combined malefemale average yearround wage available, but it is not in the tables that I’m looking at.

Hopefully what these numbers will show you is if you are the Average Joe living in an average home in each of these communities, this is how much you will pay in property taxes, and this is how much of your paycheck it will take to pay those taxes. Obviously, everybody’s situation will be a bit different, but this is a math exercise aimed at making some fair comparisons.

So, here’s a look at Lawrence and the other nine Kansas communities with populations greater than 45,000 people: l Lawrence: Property tax rate: 129.796 mills.

commissioners were able to accomplish it Tuesday by making a shift, reducing the amount of money that otherwise would have gone into the city’s sales tax reserve fund, and putting it instead into its Affordable Housing Trust Fund.

The money will then be given to the Lawrence Housing Authority to expand its “transitional housing” program, which provides housing vouchers to help individuals and families rent housing in the private market.

Last month, as part of the agreement to provide the shelter with one-time emergency funding, Boley and Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug were named ex-officio members of the shelter’s board of directors.

Boley said the idea to provide additional onetime money for a transi-

Median home value: $117,500. Average earnings: $45,288. Total property taxes: $1,619. Percent of earnings: 3.5 percent.

So, what to make of those numbers? Lawrence and Manhattan have higher tax rates compared to income than the other communities. Maybe that is because university communities have higher expectations for service levels from government.

Maybe it is because the thousands of students drive up the price of real estate. Maybe it is because both communities receive no property taxes from their largest employers — the universities.

Maybe neither community captures enough retail

sales, and thus they have to garner a larger percentage of their budgets from property taxes instead of sales taxes. Maybe it is because neither community has done enough to attract high-paying, high-tech jobs.

I don’t know. But it is noteworthy, although not really new. I’ve done this type of figuring before, and the numbers consistently show Lawrence residents pay a bit of a premium to live here.

Most communities on the list end up having taxes that are somewhere in the 4 percent range of the average full-time wage of the community.

If Lawrence could get taxes down to, let’s say, 4.5 percent of the average wage, that would result in a savings of about $600 per year for the Average Joe. Another interesting tidbit from the numbers is that, evidently, there is a lot more that goes into making a community than its property tax rate.

Both Lenexa and Topeka have taxes that are about 4.2 percent of the average earnings of a fulltime worker. But Lenexa and Topeka are two very different communities, and many would argue that they are on different ends of the prosperity scale.

And then there is Wichita. It clearly has a lower tax rate than the others.

But, like in any community, you have to look at whether you feel like you are getting a good value for what you spend.

I’m not hating on Wichita, but the financial services firm WalletHub kind of is. The company this week put out a list of the best and worst large cities to live in. Wichita ranked near the bottom — 57 out of 62 cities that are greater than 300,000 in population. (Kansas City, in case you are wondering, was No. 28.)

Wichita fared second to last in the education category, which is a big part of what your property tax dollars fund.

So, do Lawrence residents have a good reason to gripe about taxes? I don’t know, and furthermore I’ve got griping of my own to worry about. Complaints are mounting here. I think I’m going to have to put my shoes back on.

tional housing program grew out of his brief experience serving on that board.

“The idea is that because the shelter has come to us and asked for emergency funds this year, I think one of the ways we can help out would be to allocate some money for 2016 to try to reduce the population at the shelter and give them a chance to regroup with their management,” Boley said.

Shannon Oury, executive director of the Lawrence Housing Authority, said the transitional program has an 83 percent success rate, but there are currently nearly 50 people, including individuals and families, on a waiting list to get into the program, 16 of whom are currently being housed at the shelter.

She said the additional $100,000 would enable her agency to serve an additional nine households, if individuals are allowed into the program, or five additional families.

East Ninth Street Commissioners also gave their approval to a revised work plan for the East Ninth Project, which calls for streetscape improvements and public art along a six-block stretch of Ninth Street from Massachusetts to Delaware streets.

The measure passed 4-1.

Vice Mayor Leslie Soden dissented because she wanted language in the plan specifically stating the area would not become an entertainment district and would not be closed to host outdoor events.

But organizers of the project said the language

Committee recommends tax incentive for apartments at former Pachamamas site

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn

A plan to add four stories of apartments to the former Pachamamas building in downtown Lawrence is a step closer to reality as a key city board recommended approval of a tax incentive for the project Tuesday.

The city’s Public Incentives Review Committee agreed on a 5-1 vote to recommend approval of an incentive that will allow the developers of the project to avoid paying about $315,000 in

sales taxes on construction materials that will be used to build the project.

But the tax incentive still must win approval from the City Commission, and it is unclear whether it has the votes.

Lawrence City Commissioner Leslie Soden, who also serves on the Public Incentives Review Committee, was the lone vote against the project at Tuesday’s meeting.

State ends cap on ATM withdrawals with benefit cards Topeka (ap) — Kansas eliminated a $25-per-day limit on ATM withdrawals with cash assistance cards Tuesday, citing concerns from U.S. officials.

The Kansas Department for Children and Families said it was rescinding the policy before it could be put into effect for 15,000 residents receiving cash assistance. It said a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services told the state agency by email Monday that the limit appeared to prevent poor families from having adequate access to their benefits.

The state agency confirmed its action in a statement to The Associated Press before making it public.

Legislators approved the withdrawal limit in April as part of a measure rewriting rules for cash assistance. The limit was designed to prevent benefits from being converted to cash for non-essential spending. Critics saw it as punitive toward the poor. “This agency did not propose the $25 cash assistance withdrawal limit,� Department for Children and Families Secretary Phyllis Gilmore said in a statement.

Gilmore added that during the Legislature’s debate, her agency advised against such a low limit. “I’m pleased that we now have the guidance needed to rescind this measure,� she said.

Legislators to reopen debate on cameras for police officers

Topeka — Kansas legislators are reopening their debate over requiring body cameras for police, and a key Republican says he’s determined to resolve issues that kept

lawmakers from enacting such a policy in the year following a white officer’s shooting of a black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Mo. But law enforcement groups remained Please see CAMERAS, page 5A

DATEBOOK

Old-fashioned fun returns at 108th Vinland Fair The 108th Vinland Community Fair starts at 4 p.m.

Thursday and continues through Saturday at the fairgrounds just off County Road 460 in Vinland.

Like the four local historic buildings, including the Vinland Fairgrounds Exhibition Hall, the fair preserves the heritage of the rural community. The fair organizers’ goal is to honor the character of the event, which started in 1907, said Tamera Hagerman, who serves on the Vinland Community Fair Board with her husband, Rex. “The fair hasn’t changed much,” she said.

“We don’t have a carnival that parents can send kids off to so they can be entertained. It’s a participation fair. Kids and people make their own fun.”

The fair’s founders probably would be shocked by Friday eve-

ning’s tractor pull or Saturday’s lawnmower pull, but there is much they would recognize.

Old-time games, many designed for children, are sprinkled throughout the fair’s three-day schedule.

Adults can participate, too, through activities such as Thursday’s scarecrow building contest, flower show and talent show, which has previously featured such offbeat acts as a chicken hypnotist and a contortionist.

Another draw is the food, Johnson said. The Vinland Valley 4-H Club will manage the fair’s concession stand on Thursday, offering pork burgers and chili dogs. Vinland Fair volunteers will take over the stand for the final two nights, with Friday’s menu featuring chicken and noodle dinners.

Delina Miller, who coordinates the concession stand for the Vinland Valley 4-H Club, said the

concerned Tuesday about the potential costs and setting rules for granting access to the recordings.

They also argued that decisions about body cameras should be left to local departments, based on community priorities.

Identical proposals to require officers on patrol to use body cameras were introduced in the House and Senate, but neither cleared committee. The Joint Committee on Cor-

Vinland Fair has a much different flavor from the just-completed Douglas County Fair.

“It’s a laid-back, family event,” she said. “Working the concession stand, you get to catch up with people in the community you haven’t seen lately.”

That and the emphasis on old-fashioned entertainment give a “Mayberry” quality to the fair, Hagerman said. For example, people look forward to the homemade pies people bake for the concession stand, she said.

“For me, it’s the caramel apple crunch pie Twila Brown makes,” she said.

“It’s awesome. Alice Rockhold makes a wonderful gooseberry pie. It makes me laugh because there’s this one gentleman who always wants some and gets upset if we don’t have any.

He doesn’t understand why we run out because he says, ‘Nobody likes gooseberry pie.’”

“

— Djuan Wash, organizer with Sunflower Community Action rections and Juvenile Justice Oversight plans to study the issue this summer and fall because its chairman, Rep. John Rubin, R-Shawnee, believes body cameras protect the public while also shielding officers from unwarranted allegations of misconduct.

“It’s an accountability tool,” added Djuan Wash, an organizer with Sunflower Community Action, a nonprofit advo-

cacy group that supports a body camera requirement. “It keeps everyone accountable.”

Lawmakers in nearly every state this year proposed measures in response to the Aug. 9, 2014, fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black man, by a white officer in Ferguson, Mo. Brown’s death triggered large protests, and 16 other states enacted measures dealing

City Commission seats in April after running campaigns that questioned some of the incentives past City Commissions had granted.

Soden said she voted against the incentive request, in part, because the project proposed to build 55 new apartments but is not proposing to build any additional offstreet parking. Soden said the city’s code may allow such a practice, but she’s not sure the city should be providing an incentive for development to occur in that manner.

“When you don’t provide parking for 55 new living units in downtown, that obviously has the potential to create some issues,” said Soden, who is concerned the residents of the building will park in the adjacent East Lawrence neighborhood.

The development team — which is led by Lawrence businessmen Mike Treanor and Doug Compton — pointed to a City Hall study that showed there was an average of about 150 long-term parking spaces that were unused at any given time in the northeast quadrant of downtown. Residents of the building will be able to buy an annual parking pass from the city and use those spaces for their parking needs, a representative of the development group said.

The project won enthusiastic support from several members of the public incentives commit-

with body cameras.

Wichita decided in June to spend $2.2 million over four years on body cameras and records storage, with all patrol officers to have cameras by the end of the year.

Rubin said he has no interest in imposing a state mandate without identifying a way to pay for the equipment and records storage, so that local governments aren’t burdened.

1.23 inches of rain recorded Tuesday

Watch for roadwork on 23rd this week

— City Commissioner Leslie Soden

Nearly an inch and a quarter of rain fell on Lawrence Tuesday, said Jennifer Bowen of the National Weather Service in Topeka.

As of 7 p.m. Tuesday, the area saw around 1.23 inches of rain, Bowen said. So far this year 27.17 inches of rain has fallen on Lawrence, more than 3 inches over the average amount expected

by Aug. 4.

In addition to Tuesday’s rain, Lawrence could see even more precipitation through the rest of the week, Bowen said. “(Today) we could have chances for strong or severe storms and Thursday evening too,” she said. “And one more possible round Friday evening, but they’re all slight chances. I think most of the area will be dry.”

The outside lane of westbound 23rd Street between Louisiana and Alabama streets will close for a week starting today, the city said in a release.

The week-long closure will allow crews to make repairs to the road needed after water line improvements made last year, the release said.

Traffic control devices will be used to guide drivers around the lane closure, the release said.

tee, in part because local governments are expected to quickly recoup any lost sales tax dollars because of increased property tax revenues that the development will produce.

“It looks like the firstyear property tax revenue would far exceed what it would cost us in lost revenue,” said Douglas County Commissioner Mike Gaughan, who is a member of the review committee. “That’s good to see from my perspective.”

The development group is not seeking any incentives that would reduce the amount of property taxes the development pays. Bill Fleming, an attorney for the development group, said the new construction is expected to result in about $115,000 in additional property taxes paid each year at the site.

The city and the county would stand to see a net increase in the amount of taxes received from the property almost immediately because the bulk

of the sales taxes being exempted go to the state.

Of the approximately $315,000 in sales taxes that are expected to be abated, a little more than $225,000 are taxes that would have gone to the state. The remaining portion would have gone to the city and county coffers.

Fleming said the sales tax exemption would help the approximately $7 million project control costs, and pass some savings along in the form of lower rents. The project, though, is not being built as a rent-controlled development, like some of the projects that have taken advantage of affordable housing tax credits offered through the state. Fleming estimated that one-bedroom units probably would rent for about $1,000 a month, which he said is less expensive than other comparable new units downtown.

City commissioners are expected to consider the incentive issue in the next few weeks.

Son needs to set clear boundaries for parents Dear Annie: Whenever I’m at my parents’ house and they have guests, they expect me to “perform.” I don’t mean playing the piano or tap dancing. I mean they insist I “tell them that story you told me.”

Any story they select.

I feel I’m being treated as some kind of circus freak. This makes me very uncomfortable, and they know it because I’ve told them.

They always promise not to do it again, but then they always do.

They can be incredibly selfish. My mother doesn’t want me to speak at family dinners, and lets my siblings bulldoze over everyone. I hated this when I was a kid and still do. Now, whenever she tells people, “Tell them what you told me,” I will say, “I think that story isn’t appropriate for now, if you

know what I mean.”

Am I being unreasonable? Did I also mention that my parents interrogate me about my job and then tell me I’m doing it all wrong? We have fights about what I wear to work. The last time, they told me to wear a shirt and tie to a job where I get my hands dirty. And they did it in front of my extended family. What do I do? — New Jersey Son Dear New Jersey: You learn to accept

2 comedies; one dull, one dazzling “Mr. Robinson” (8 p.m., and 8:30 p.m., NBC) is seriously old school. Craig Robinson (“The Office,” “Hot Tub Time Machine”) plays Craig, the crooner and keyboard player for the mildly naughty bar band Nasty Delicious, seen at the beginning and the end of each show.

He gets a wake-up call of sorts when he sees his high school sweetheart (Meagan Good).

After years of success, she’s returned to teach English at their high school.

It’s time to “give back.” For Craig, it has become time to finally get a day job. So he becomes a substitute music teacher at the same Chicago school, Studs Terkel High. Viewers would be forgiven for calling it the “School of Rock.”

Look for Peri Gilpin (“Frasier”) as the school’s strict principal who also has a slightly kinky side.

This is not a terrible sitcom.

Nor is it memorable. Not unlike the fictional Craig, the real Mr. Robinson looks like he’s just trying to find a steady, paying gig.

O A far more interesting and challenging comedy, “Difficult People” begins streaming today on Hulu. Julie (Julie Klausner) and Billy (Billy Eichner) are miserable underemployed comedy writers who hate everyone and everything except each other and, occasionally, the small circle of friends who endure them.

Simply put, this may be the funniest and the saddest series to emerge in the age of social media. Julie creates “content,” mostly web-based recaps of TV shows she hates. Billy is tortured by a constant stream of tweets and alerts that remind him of how insignificant he has become.

Julie is neurotic, straight and involved, if that is the right word, with Arthur (James Urbaniak), an effete PBS executive. Billy is gay and was recently dumped, and he lets everyone know it, especially his coffee shop boss, Denise (Gabourey Sidibe), and her effervescent sidekick, Matthew (Cole Escola), a young man so strenuously effeminate that he makes Billy feel homophobic.

Not enough can be said about the smart writing on this show about failed comedy writers.

On standard sitcoms, (like, say, “Mr. Robinson”) characters exist as joke dispensers. In “Difficult People,” every acidic line further defines its caustic central characters. They may not be nice, but they seem very much like people you may know — or have become. And that in itself is a cautionary tale.

your parents as they are, and then set boundaries that will allow you to be less upset.

Your folks apparently think you are a terrific storyteller, but you do not have to oblige.

When they ask you to relate something, it’s fine to say, “Not right now,” and then change the subject. A useful skill is to do so while being polite, even smiling.

Some parents are notorious for criticizing their children’s choices in everything. Most children figure out how to evaluate what has merit and then ignore the rest, nodding politely instead of arguing. We suggest you practice.

Biden candidacy faces problems

EDITORIALS

Predictable plight Arbitrary block-grant funding from the state will leave local school districts scrambling to deal with enrollment increases.

S

upporters of the legislation that dumped the per-pupil funding formula for K-12 schools in Kansas repeatedly praised the new block-grant system because it would make school funding more “predictable.”

They liked that because they could plug a single number — based on what school districts received the previous year — into the budget and know it wouldn’t change. That works nicely for the Legislature but not so well for school districts who must deal with a number of variables, not the least of which is increased enrollment.

Lawrence school district officials, for instance, expect enrollment to rise this year anywhere from 30 to 130 students.

They don’t know how much enrollment will increase but they already know how much their state funding will increase to help them serve those students: zero.

The “predictable” and probably reasonable response to this situation is for Lawrence school officials to seek additional funding from local taxpayers to make sure they can meet their obligations. Last week, the Lawrence school board approved for publication a budget that calls for a local property tax increase of 1.6 mills, an increase of about 2.8 percent. The budget includes about $20 million in new spending but, according to district officials, that figure is skewed because it includes money that wasn’t previously moved through the general operating fund — notably the state funds going to the Kansas Retirement System for Public Employees to support teacher pensions.

Even with a local tax increase, officials say that if enrollment rises significantly, they will have to dip into reserves or cut spending in other areas to hire additional teachers or cover other direct student costs. How much money are they talking about? Well, it’s hard to predict.

That’s the problem school districts face. It’s pretty easy for legislators to predict how much the state will spend on K-12 education. All they have to do is set an arbitrary amount and say that’s all the schools are getting. It’s a lot harder for local districts to figure out how they are going to serve hundreds — or maybe thousands in some larger districts — of additional students without any additional state support.

Legislators have put the block grant funding system in place for two years, during which they say they will put together a new school funding formula.

The fact that the state currently is fighting more than one lawsuit alleging that the way it funds K-12 education doesn’t meet the requirements of the Kansas Constitution doesn’t inspire confidence that lawmakers will come up with a better, more equitable way to fund public schools two years from now.

A conspiracy theorist might think the stunning disclosure that Vice President Joe Biden might yet challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination was a calculated effort to steal some political thunder from this week’s initial Republican debate.

But the problem with that theory is that, while the prospect underscores the degree to which Clinton has damaged her own frontrunning campaign, a Biden candidacy would probably damage the Democrats

Carl Leubsdorf carl.p.leubsdorf@gmail.com

“

But a more realistic path for him to become the Democratic nominee might be to avoid a divisive fight, back Clinton and, if any of several ticking time bombs sinks her candidacy, step in then to save the Democratic day.” more than the Republicans, complicating their hopes for retaining the White House.

That’s why those who fear a GOP 2016 triumph — and the possible reversal of Obama initiatives such as Obamacare and tackling climate change — should hope that political reality prevails when the Biden clan meets this month to make a 2016 decision.

Here are the top eight problems for a Biden candidacy: l He lacks organization.

The vice president has neither political nor financial organization to mount a campaign and raise the required millions. Democrats say many of his prior fundraisers and political advisers have

already joined Clinton’s campaign, notably Biden’s former chief of staff Ron Klain and former national security adviser Jake Sullivan. l Clinton is popular with Dems. Despite some erosion, two recent surveys showed Clinton’s favorability with Democrats remains in the 70s, about 30 points higher than among everyone polled. Biden’s was slightly lower. Democrats will choose their nominee, not Republicans and independents who view her less favorably. And a Quinnipiac poll of three swing states showed him weaker than Clinton against potential GOP rivals. l His lousy track record.

Biden ran twice previously, did poorly and was often gaffe-prone. In 1987, he withdrew after acknowledging he had incorporated portions of speeches by a British politician in describing his own life. In 2008, despite a strenuous effort and good notices in Democratic debates, he finished fifth in Iowa and sixth in New Hampshire with less than 1 percent. l Bernie Sanders is already running to Clinton’s left. While Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders still seems like an implausible Democratic nominee, he has stirred enthusiastic support in the party’s substantial liberal wing, which has always been cool to the Clintons.

To differentiate himself from Clinton, Biden would presumably also have to run at her from the left, which might create awkwardness with both Sanders and his day job as vice president. l Vice presidents usually lose. Sitting vice presidents have a poor track record seeking the presidency. George H. W. Bush, in 1988, was the first elected on his own in 152 years, helped greatly by President Ronald Reagan’s popularity. Democrats strongly support Obama, but his overall support is tepid. l His age. Biden will be 73 this December, which would make him, if successful, the oldest person ever elected.

Clinton will be 68 in October, but would be a political ground-breaker. It may be ancient history, but when President Harry Truman decided belatedly against running in 1952, party leaders ruled out his popular vice president, Alben Barkley, on age grounds. He was 74. l He could create a gender problem for the party. A Biden candidacy could create a special problem with the millions of women who hope Clinton will be the first female president. Whatever his motives or her problems, this could produce a backlash if he won the nomination, especially among independents and moderate Republican

Britain has immigration crisis When music fans think of “the British Invasion” they are referring to ’60s bands such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Britain today, however, faces a different type of invasion.

Thousands of migrants, most from North Africa and the Middle East, are storming an ineffective “barricade” in Calais, France, as they attempt to enter England via the Chunnel, a 30-mile rail tunnel linking Folkestone, Kent, with Coquelles, Pas-de-Calais, in northern France. Some of these migrants hide on top of or inside of trucks or cling to the trains that travel beneath the English Channel. Some have died on the journey.

Cargo trucks were backed up last week in Calais, waiting for human and other traffic to clear. Some of the migrants have sat down on roads leading to the tunnel, causing further traffic delays. A strike and blockade by French ferry workers has added to the misery, especially for vacationers trying to reach the continent.

British Prime Minister David Cameron, confronting his first crisis since his re-election in May, is considering sending Army soldiers to Kent to ease traffic congestion.

Britain is facing a problem familiar to America, which has its own challenges with a porous “southern border.”

Last Wednesday, at least 1,500 migrant attempts were made to storm inadequate fences in Calais. Outnumbered police could only stop a few.

Some migrants interviewed vowed to return as many times as it takes to get into a coun-

try they see as providing jobs, health care and other benefits.

In response, the Home Office confirmed “it was planning to strip families of the automatic right to benefits if their asylum applications were rejected.”

The government moved forward with a plan to evict illegal immigrants without a court order from rentals properties “under new laws designed to make Britain a tougher place to live in.” And Theresa May, the home secretary, who warned in a Telegraph article written with Bernard Cazeneuve, France’s minister of the Interior, that Britain’s “streets are not paved with gold,” said that “tackling this situation is the top priority for the UK and French governments.”

America, take note.

The French government blames Britain for the migrant crisis. It claims Britain has failed to provide enough security at the tunnel. French officials also say British companies are too willing to hire migrants for their cheap labor. British officials counter that France isn’t doing enough to intercept the migrants before they reach Calais and that fences are inadequate.

That isn’t happening.

Then there is the problem,

largely unspoken but real, that most of the migrants have come from Muslim countries. Are there radicals among them? No one can say with certainty, but “flooding the zone” would be part of a grand strategy to bring down Western nations by infiltrating and subjugating Britain and other European countries (and America) from within.

The London Times carried a story last week about how The University of Westminster in London “has hosted the highest number of extremist or intolerant speakers over the past three years.” Islamic State murderer Mohammed Emwazi attended the school.

The terrorist known as “Jihadi John” earned a computer programming degree at the school.

Stories of people from Muslim countries who are admitted to Britain and the U.S. on student visas and then disappear are all too familiar. An unknown number of Sharia courts — estimated by the think tank Civitas to be 85 — operate outside British law in handling legal disputes between Muslims.

For thousands of years the British Isles have been invaded by foreign powers.

The British eventually were able to expel (or absorb) the invaders. “There’ll always be an England,” says the patriotic song. Unless the unbridled migration and immigration is slowed, or halted, that could be a hollow prophecy here and in America, which also might not always be.

women she hopes to attract. l Family squabbles are bad for the incumbent party.

Divisive primary fights historically hurt the incumbent party’s chances of holding the White House. Such divisions undercut Democratic chances in 1968, when primary challenger Sen. Eugene McCarthy never endorsed Vice President Hubert Humphrey, and in 1980, when Sen. Edward Kennedy’s challenge was a major factor in President Jimmy Carter’s defeat.

Pat Buchanan’s 1992 challenge to Bush helped doom his re-election by leading to Ross Perot’s independent candidacy.

Joe Biden is one of the most honorable, well-liked people in American politics, and his very human reaction to the recent death of his 46-year-old son Beau provoked widespread admiration. Perhaps that would enable him to bring off an unlikely challenge.

But a more realistic path for him to become the Democratic nominee might be to avoid a divisive fight, back Clinton and, if any of several ticking time bombs sinks her candidacy, step in then to save the Democratic day.

Anything else would likely help to elect a Republican.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 5, 1915: years “H. W. Walker, of ago Kansas City, and IN 1915 J. F. Lytle, of Topeka, officials of the Wells-Fargo express company, are in the city today to make final plans for the company’s new building which is to be started soon. The city has granted the permit for the structure but owing to the conflict in the grant of the park land north of the Santa Fe station some trouble has been experienced in deciding where the structure shall stand. … The building will be constructed of brick and will cost about $1,500. At present the Wells-Fargo company is handling its business in a freight car, having had to move out of the quarters in the station several weeks ago owing to the changes and enlarging which is being done on the station.

“Virginia Fay, the houseboat on the way from Topeka to the Gulf of Mexico, in attempting to get out of an eddy in the Kaw just below the Bowersock dam yesterday afternoon, slipped a pillar on the shaft and was unable to leave last night as was intended.... The necessary repairs are being made this afternoon and it is expected that the boat will get away from Lawrence without any further mishaps.”

“A night bloom Cereus opened on Saturday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Sibley on West Warren street. A large crowd of friend and neighbors sat up to a late hour to witness the event.”

10 PICKED FOR FIRST PRIME TIME DEBATE

CARLY FIORINA

John Kasich and Chris Christie are in — Rick Perry is out.

Kasich and Christie clinched the last two spots for this week’s 10-candidate debate, Fox News announced Tuesday, joining Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.

The debate will be 9 p.m.

Thursday in Cleveland.

Perry finished 11th in the aggregate of polls Fox used to determine the field. That relegated the former Texas governor to a debate at 5 p.m. Thursday with other candidates outside the top 10: Rick Santorum, Carly Fiorina, Bobby Jindal, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki and Jim Gilmore.

Perry’s absence from the prime-time debate eliminates one of the party’s most outspoken critics of Trump, the brash billionaire who leads Republican preference polls.

Taking the rejection in stride, Perry tweeted that he is looking forward to the 5 p.m. debate “for what will be a serious exchange of ideas & positive solutions to get America back on track.”

Candidates who struggled to get into the top 10 protested Fox’s selection process, which was based on national polls. They pointed out that the nomination is decided state-bystate, starting with the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary.

“National polls are meaningless in August,” Santorum’s campaign said in a statement after the field was announced, calling the process “incredibly flawed.”

During a forum Monday in New Hampshire, businesswoman Carly Fiorina thanked organizers for inviting all the candidates and “reminding the political class that we don’t have a national primary.”

Most of the focus of Thursday’s prime-time session will be on Trump, who is running his first political race and participating in his first campaign debate.

The New York-based businessman has attributed his success to the immigration issue and to his triumphs in the business world.

“People see that, and I would put all of that energy and whatever that brain power is ... into making our country successful and our country grow again,” Trump said Tuesday on MSNBC.

How the top 10 ranked 1. Donald Trump: 23.4% 2. Jeb Bush: 12% 3. Scott Walker: 10.2% 4. Mike Huckabee: 6.6% 5. Ben Carson: 5.8% 6. Ted Cruz: 5.4% 7. Marco Rubio: 5.4% 8. Rand Paul: 4.8% 9.

Death blamed on Army program

BOBBY JINDAL

GEORGE PATAKI

EPA

For a U.S. Army where failures to treat soldiers with substance abuse problems have been linked to suicides, Georgia National Guard Spc. Stephen Akins was another tragedy waiting to happen.

Sanctions revealed against university hosting biolab Pathogen safety rules violated, letter says Alison Young USA TODAY

Kansas State University — where a controversial $1.25 billion biosecurity lab facility is under construction — secretly faced federal sanctions last year after repeatedly violating safety regulations during its research with bioterror pathogens, records obtained by USA TODAY show.

Kansas State’s “history of non-

compliance” during four consecutive inspections over two years shows a “systemic problem” and has “raised serious concerns” about the university’s ability to ensure safety and containment of dangerous pathogens, according to a March 2014 letter from federal lab regulators.

The university’s biosecurity officer, Julie Johnson, said Tuesday the letter’s harsh language was surprising because nearly all of the violations involved administrative paperwork issues that posed no safety or security threat.

Yet in the letter, regulators threatened to suspend or revoke

the university’s permits to do research with bioterror pathogens.

Johnson said the issues were resolved in April.

The action against Kansas

State is of particular importance because the university’s campus in Manhattan is the site of the federal government’s new National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF), which has faced years of delays because of concerns about whether research on dangerous agricultural diseases can be done safely near herds of livestock.

The NBAF will be independently run by the Department of Homeland Security when it opens around 2022, and federal officials said the university’s regulatory issues are unrelated to the new facility.

Lab regulators at the Federal Select Agent Program did not answer specific questions about Kansas State’s regulatory history.

The university has completed a performance improvement plan, and inspectors “will continue to ensure they are able to demonstrate longterm compliance,” the program said in a general statement.

Bill Bullard, CEO of the cattle industry trade group R-CALF USA, said the violation letter “reinforces our concern that there will likely be an inadvertent release of one of these dangerous pathogens from that site.”

Care at Army rehab facilities challenged v CONTINUED FROM 1B

adequately treat soldiers who abuse drugs or alcohol, often due to emotional illnesses or brain injuries from years of combat.

The Army’s substance abuse program has declined in quality of care since it shifted to nonmedical management in 2010, according to a USA TODAY report in March that led to an Army inspector general’s investigation.

Army leaders are weighing whether to shift the program back to medical supervision.

Since non-medical managers took over, 90 soldiers have committed suicide within three months of receiving substance abuse treatment. At least 31 suicides followed substandard treatment, according to records obtained by USA TODAY from staff members critical of the program. They did not specifically link the deaths to poor care.

Army documents show that half of the service’s 54 substanceabuse clinics fall below professional standards. The clinic at Fort Gordon, where Akins was treated, is among the Army’s best.

Patrick Lillard, the psychiatrist counseling Akins, said the soldier was in desperate need of more help than the Army could provide, and that he tried to arrange hospitalization at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington shortly before Akins was to leave the military.

The Army issued a statement defending its actions, noting that Akins had been counseled about his substance abuse and undergone inpatient treatment in 2013 at a Fort Gordon hospital. Despite these efforts, the Army said, he continued to abuse drugs.

“Akins tested positive for drug use eight times between January and November of 2014,” the Army statement said, adding that Fort Gordon health officials scheduled one appointment for Akins with the VA for a few days after his discharge. “We are not able to confirm whether he attended or not.”

Lillard said Akins was in no condition to see after himself at that stage. His last days in the Army were in the hospital, where he was treated for self-inflicted cuts from an attempted suicide.

“Stephen was not at a stage in his illness where he could manage on his own as an outpatient,” said Lillard, who has since resigned from the Army program.

He and other program critics say commanders without medical training fail to see substance abuse as a way soldiers cope with war-related trauma. Instead of treating them, commanders punish them for abuse-related misconduct, such as drunken driving, and force some out of the Army.

“It’s much easier to ... wipe their hands of it thinking the VA is just going to pick up the pieces,” says Ryan Pavlu, national service director for the Wounded Warrior Project, which has aided 75,000 Iraq and Afghanistan vets.

Lillard said, “There’s a continual lingering doubt among command-level people that, ‘Hey this is the same kind of severe disability that would be associated when somebody gets their legs blown off.’ ” SOLDIER EXPOSED TO BLASTS

Stephen Akins was exposed to roadside blasts serving in 2003 in Iraq and again during his two tours in Afghanistan.

Iraq three years later, where he was knocked unconscious by a roadside bomb that detonated under his vehicle, according to his medical records.

The wound occurred as IEDs — improvised explosive devices — were becoming the most lethal weapon used against American troops, and military doctors were just learning how the explosions could cause traumatic brain injury. At the time, many troops exposed to explosions were sent back into combat before their brains recovered, risking further and more serious damage from a subsequent blast.

Akins returned to duty without proper evaluation, according to his files. He later served two tours in Afghanistan and was exposed to other blasts.

Akins was in training at Fort Stewart, Ga., in 2010 when he suffered a seizure on the firing range and collapsed. It apparently happened again in his barracks later that day, only this time as Akins fell, he struck his head so hard

that it caused internal bleeding and he was rushed to the hospital, according to his records.

The soldier was placed in a therapeutic coma to allow brain swelling to decrease and he nearly died. Lillard, who also is a neurosurgeon, said Akins should have received a medical retirement right then. But the soldier, who was also diagnosed with PTSD, was found fit for duty and sent on a fourth deployment to Kosovo.

‘SOMETHING BAD’ PREDICTED

“Was it predictable with Stephen Akins that something bad was going to happen to him? Yes, it was,” said Lillard. “The Army says they never leave a fallen comrade, but if (soldiers) come home with brain injuries and PTSD, the Army uses that as a reason to abandon them.”

Neurological scans later showed signs of lesions in areas of the brain that control impulsive behavior and decision-making, easily explaining erratic

conduct that included drug and alcohol abuse, Lillard said. Twice, Akins attempted suicide.

“The TBI factors of concern include impaired judgment, dis-inhibition and very poor control of reactions to stress. He also has an ongoing significant mood disorder with recurrent suicidal ideation,” Lillard wrote in a memo to Akins’ lawyer last October, as the soldier faced involuntary separation. “This adds up to a very impaired soldier.”

Despite the evidence assembled by Akins’ lawyer, Capt. Colin Nisbet, and Lillard showing the soldier’s emotional and neurological illnesses, a military medical evaluation board found him fit for duty last summer, according to an email drafted by Nisbet.

This cleared the way for the Army to kick Akins out. Thencommander of Fort Gordon, Maj. Gen. Lawarren Patterson, said his

“He wanted to go out there and do something for his country and this is what he gets in return.”

Chrystal Akins, mother of soldier whose death was ruled a suicide

own “careful review” of Akins medical condition showed that it “was not a direct or substantial contributing cause of the (mis-) conduct,” according to a memo the general wrote. A separation board last August validated that conclusion and Patterson’s replacement, Maj. Gen. Stephen Fogarty, ordered that Akins be kicked out of the Army.

Akins remained on active status for several days while doctors at Eisenhower Army Medical Center at Fort Gordon treated him for self-inflicted suicide wounds.

IN BRIEF SANDRA BLAND’S FAMILY FILES FEDERAL LAWSUIT

The family of Sandra Bland, the Illinois woman found dead in a Texas jail cell last month, filed a lawsuit Tuesday in Houston seeking to hold people involved in her death accountable.

“We are looking for Waller County and the individuals involved to take accountability,” said attorney Cannon Lambert Sr., who is representing the family.

The lawsuit is filed against Trooper Brian Encinia, the sheriff of Waller County, Texas, two of the jailers and the Texas Department of Public Safety, Lambert said.

Encinia arrested Bland on July 10 in Waller County, Texas.

Three days later, on July 13, she was found dead in a jail cell in Hempstead, Texas. Officials say she used a plastic bag to hang herself.

Wiltshire Police referred the case to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) after a retired senior officer alleged that claims were made against Heath, who died in 2005, in the 1990s.

The retired officer came forward last summer claiming that senior officers ordered that a prosecution be halted “because it would have led to the former Prime Minister’s name being dragged through the mud,” the Telegraph reported.

No one was hurt.

It was during this time that Lillard said he tried to arrange Akins’ admittance to a Walter Reed brain-injury treatment facility last November. Lillard said he was told by a supervising doctor that the hospital had an opening the following week if Akins was still in the Army.

HELP PROMISED — FINALLY

A thrilled Akins called his mother. “He was all excited,” she remembers about that day in November. “He said, ‘Mom, I won’t be home next weekend to see you and granny, because I’m going to Walter Reed Medical Center and I’m finally going to get the help I need.’ ” But Akins was released from the hospital and processed out of the Army before any transportation to Walter Reed could be arranged, Lillard said.

The Army disputes some of this, saying that Walter Reed told Lillard that the VA could later arrange care for Akins at Walter Reed even if he were a veteran.

Lillard denies he was told this.

In the six months that followed Akins’ discharge from the Army, he grew isolated from his family, yelled out during his nightmares and complained about constantly feeling overwhelmed. “He actually looked like he was a million miles away,” his mother says.

As police investigating his death await a toxicology report to determine more precisely what killed him, Chrystal Akins says she struggles with how the Army handled her son.

“He wanted to go out there and do something for his country and this is what he gets in return,” she said. “I just don’t understand why people are like that. They just wanted to get him out.”

Her son was buried with military honors on July 9 at the Georgia National Cemetery in Canton.

NATION/WORLD CRIME

Report: Mass public shootings on rise Meghan Hoyer USA TODAY

Mass public shootings have increased in frequency from 1.1 a year to 4.5 a year since the 1970s, according to a new report by the Congressional Research Service.

The report, sent to members of Congress on Friday, found that in the 1970s, mass public shootings killed roughly six people a year and injured two.

From 2010 to 2013, there were an average of 33 deaths in mass shootings each year, with 28 additional people injured.

The figures come after a particularly grisly July, when five mass killings — including a shooting at a Chattanooga, Tenn., military office that killed five servicemem-

bers — occurred over eight days.

Mass killings are defined as events with at least four victims who die within a short period of time. In mass public shootings, as defined by the Congressional Research Service (CRS), all the victims are killed with firearms in a public location such as a workplace, house of worship, school or restaurant.

The research found that a dozen mass public shootings since 1970 have had double-digit death tolls. Seven of those have occurred since 2007.

A criminologist who studies mass killings called the report the “most comprehensive” look at the issue in the past 15 years.

“Hopefully, their report, if nothing else, will foster a more honest dialogue about the patterns and

An FBI member marks evidence after a shooting at a military center in Chattanooga, Tenn., last month.

prevalence about mass shootings,” said Grant Duwe, a Minnesota criminologist whose own research provided one source of data for the study.

Using FBI figures, Duwe’s data on mass shootings and an ongoing project at USA TODAY that tracks mass killings, CRS researchers found that from 1999 through 2013, there were 317 mass shootings with 1,554 victims. USA TODAY has counted an additional 29 mass shootings since then, with an additional 143 victims.

Among the report’s findings: uOn average in 1999-2013, 4.4 mass killings a year could be defined as mass public shootings. uNearly double that number each year could be classified as familicides — the killings of fam-

ily members or domestic partners in private places. uOf the mass public shootings, the assailant carried a single firearm in more than half the cases. In a quarter of them, an assault weapon was used.

Twenty of the 68 offenders in mass public shootings were arrested. The majority killed themselves or were killed by police.

The report says that federal data is lacking to help guide a public policy conversation. “With improved data, policymakers would arguably have additional vantage points from which to assess the legislative proposals that are inevitably made in the wake of these tragedies,” the report says.

CRS researchers are non-partisan and don’t comment publicly on published reports.

USA TODAY

Food, water, cots, generators and other federal emergency supplies were rushed Tuesday from Hawaii and Guam to help Saipan after Super Typhoon Soudelor blasted through the tiny U.S. island in the Western Pacific.

After hitting the island, the typhoon strengthened into the Earth’s most powerful storm of 2015 — equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane, with sustained winds of 180 mph — as it continued Monday across the Pacific Ocean.

The winds diminished slightly Tuesday to nearly 150 mph, with gusts of 184 mph — equal to a Category 4 storm, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center said.

The typhoon was taking aim at Taiwan, China and some of Japan’s southern islands, though it’s expected to weaken even further by the time it reaches land, the center said.

“There is growing concern that Taiwan and the southern Ryukyu Islands will have to contend with Soudelor as early as Thursday night or Friday with impacts lasting into early next week across eastern China,” AccuWeather meteorologist Eric Leister said.

The latest forecast from the typhoon center shows the storm making landfall in Taiwan on Friday with winds estimated at 144 mph, equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane.

Across the mountainous terrain of northern and western Taiwan, more than 20 inches of rain is likely, possibly triggering mudslides and flash floods, AccuWeather said.

The storm slammed into Saipan, one of the Northern Mariana Islands, a 48,000-population U.S. commonwealth, with winds of 105 mph late Sunday and early Monday. It flooded the island’s

No fatalities were reported, but at least 10 people were treated at a government hospital for injuries, including wounds and deep cuts, from falling or flying debris.

Acting Gov. Ralph D.L.G. Torres declared a state of disaster.

“Most power and phone lines are down with no power or landline service to most of the island,” Philip Dauterman told the Pacific Daily News. He estimated it could take months for power to be restored across the island.

At its peak, Soudelor (SOWde-lore) was the strongest storm anywhere on the planet so far this year. Typhoons are the Western Pacific’s version of hurricanes. Soudelor is a Pohnpeian word for a legendary chief or ruler, according to the National Weather Service. Pohnpeian is a language spoken on the island of Pohnpei in the Caroline Islands.

Fighting superbugs now could save 37,000 lives Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are leading threats in USA, experts say Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

The USA could save 37,000 lives over the next five years by taking immediate action to improve the way it fights health care-associated infections, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Infections with superbugs — bacteria that can’t be killed even with standard antibiotics — cause more than 2 million illnesses and at least 23,000 deaths a year, according to the CDC. These bacteria can spread when people overuse antibiotics. Superbugs often spread in the hospital, especially among patients with weakened immune systems.

An additional 250,000 patients are treated in hospitals every year

for the bacteria Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, which can spread easily in hospitals and flourish in patients treated with antibiotics, which can wipe out healthy bacteria normally found in the gut, allowing dangerous bugs to take over. C. diff kills 15,000 Americans a year.

These bugs are among the “leading threats we face in this country,” CDC Director Tom Frieden said.

Based on current trends, the number of infections caused by four of the most dangerous bacteria is likely to increase 10% over the next five years. By taking immediate action, the country could prevent an estimated 619,000 health careassociated infections over that time, as well as save $7.7 billion,

according to the CDC’s mathematical model.

“Antibiotic resistance is a public health crisis,” said Amanda Jezek, vice president of public policy and government relations for the Infectious Diseases Society of America, who wasn’t involved in the new report.

Hospitals take steps to control infections, such as telling staff to wash their hands frequently and wear disposable gowns, but “that doesn’t protect them from bringing in resistant germs from other facilities,” said John Jernigan, director of CDC’s Office of Health Associated Infections Prevention Research and Evaluation.

President Obama’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2016 nearly doubled funding to fight superbugs, to more than $1.2 billion.

One year after he fatally shot Michael Brown on a street in Ferguson, Mo., former police officer Darren Wilson said the tragedy made him unemployable but that he would like to return to the Ferguson force for “one day.”

Wilson told The New Yorker he has sought another police job but has routinely been told he would be a liability.

“It’s too hot an issue, so it makes me unemployable,” he told the magazine. Wilson said that after a grand jury cleared him, he wanted to rejoin Ferguson’s police force but was told that might put other officers at risk.

“They put that on me,” Wilson said. He ST.

The shooting, and a grand jury decision not to charge Wilson, set off massive and sometimes violent protests across the nation. Jake Halpern, who wrote The New Yorker article, said he spent several days with Wilson at his home on the outskirts of St. Louis. Wilson lives with his wife, Barb, also a former Ferguson police officer, and their baby.

Wilson said that in the months following the shooting he had been preoccupied with the legal ramifications and overall tumult, and had not thought about who Brown really was.

“I only knew him for those 45 seconds in which he was trying to kill me,” Wilson said.

The Justice Department issued a report on the shooting that found Wilson did not violate Brown’s civil rights, and that Wilson’s use of force was reasonable.

But it also issued a report describing the justice system of Ferguson as racist.

Wilson said the department had a few bigoted members, but rejected the idea of institutional racism.

MONEYLINE ODDS GROWING FOR FED RATE HIKE IN SEPTEMBER Atlanta Fed chief Dennis Lockhart told the ‘Wall Street Journal’ that economic data would have to worsen significantly to persuade him not to raise interest rates in September. It would be the first Fed hike in nearly a decade. “I think there is a high bar right now to not acting, speaking for myself,” Lockhart said. His comments are noteworthy because he’s a centrist on the Fed’s policymaking committee. Inflation remains below the Fed’s 2% target, but Lockhart is confident it will rise because the labor market is tightening.

AMAZON CRACKS DOWN ON SHARING OF PRIME BENEFIT Amazon updated its policy that limits how many people can share the benefits of each user’s Prime subscription. Originally, Amazon Prime members were allowed to share shipping benefits with up to four family members. Now it’s with “one other adult by forming an Amazon Household,” reads the updated version of Amazon’s policy. For families, up to four children can share benefits.

SHAWN THEW, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

The drop in Apple’s stock is noteworthy because it violates a number of key levels watched by investors, including:

10% CORRECTION LEVEL.

Shares of Apple are down more than 14% from their highest point in a year — which places the stock squarely in what’s considered to be a correction. The unofficial definition of a correction is a 10% or greater drop from a recent high. Shares of Apple hit a 52-week (and all-time) high of $134.54 on April 28. The stock has hit that level — and failed to move higher — three times now. This indicates there’s a big block of investors waiting to sell once it gets to that level. Apple shares are still up 3.9% this year — but had been up as much as 22%.

Apple’s stock plunge breaks 3 key levels BLOOMBERG VIA GETTY IMAGES

USA TODAY

nvestors wondering how low Apple (AAPL) stock can go are having to lower their expectations even more.

Shares of the gadget-maker Monday are down $3.80, or 3.2%, to $114.64 — breaking below three key support levels the legions of bullish investors have hoped would hold. The stock is being pressured by concerns that economic slowing in China could hurt what’s turned into the biggest growth market for Apple’s high-priced smartphone, in addition to data showing increased market saturation of smartphones in developed nations.

THE $120 LEVEL.

Investors were hoping the $120 price level would serve as a floor for Apple. Seeing the stock cut through with little resistance is a bit of a cautionary sign. When Apple shares sunk into the danger zone July 9 and fell into a correction last time, they finally found buying support at about this level. Back on July 9, when fears about China slowing and disappointment over the Watch heated up, buyers stepped up and overwhelmed the sellers.

BREAK IN THE 200-DAY MOVING AVERAGE.

Apple’s stock price takes it below $120.87 — which is an important price level of support watched by investors. That’s the average price investors have paid for the stock over the past 200 trading days. By breaking below that level, the average investor who bought shares of Apple over the past year is now underwater. Investors look to the 200-day moving average as a benchmark of longer-term trends, and a break below the 200-day moving average is viewed as a bad sign. Apple hasn’t broken its 200-day moving average since September 2013.

But while the market is sending a message that it’s getting cautious on Apple, Steven Milunovich at UBS said the caution is overdone. Apple can still boost iPhone shipments in fiscal 2016, Milunovich says, as he boosted his shipment target from 232 million to 245 million. He also boosted his earnings-per-share estimate to $10.32 from $9.94. He has a $150 a share price target on the stock.

Milunovich agrees the iPhone is on an upgrade cycle now that so many people own a model already. He says two-thirds of iPhone shipments are upgrades. But he thinks there could be 15% growth in upgrades in the fiscal year — based on the idea that 76% of iPhone users will have upgraded. “The iPhone does have legs,” he says.

Investors watching the stock fall hope these legs start moving soon.

Hacking the daily stuff of life is one theme emerging at this year’s Black Hat computer security conference in Las Vegas, which runs through Thursday.

More than 10,000 computer security professionals, researchers and government workers are to attend the conference, which features 290 sessions describing network security flaws and how to guard against them.

This year, researchers have taken things to a new level as the globe and its infrastructure become ever more networked. Talks include how to take a nuclear plant offline, hacking a chemical production facility, taking over a computer-aided rifle and wirelessly controlling cars from afar.

“For security officials, this represents a scary new world,” said Steve Wylie, Black Hat general manager. “It’s just one example of threats to our modern-day society, and there’s more coming.”

WIRED MAGAZINE

A Jeep Cherokee winds up in a ditch after hackers for Wired magazine take control.

A theme has long been how easily a determined attacker could assail the physical infrastructure of our modern world — the power plants, water-treatment systems and financial-control networks we depend on. The movie Blackhat (2015) showed what that could look like.

Last year’s Black Hat conference featured multiple workshops about the threat posed by connecting never-before networked machines and systems so they could be accessed online.

Dubbed the “Internet of Things,” it’s everything from a refrigerator that orders milk to a sewage plant that can be controlled remotely.

While concerns about the IoT are nothing new — researchers have been saying for years it represents a serious threat — this year’s Black Hat features multiple “proof of concept” workshops that take the threat from the underground into the fresh air.

“It’s an unfortunate circumstance that researchers have to go all the way to proof of concept to get IoT manufactures to understand the full extent of the consequences,” said Chris Poulin, IBM X-Force research strategist.

The biggest jolt came last month, when Wired published a piece about automotive security experts Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, detailing how they were able to gain wireless control of a 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which led to the recall of 1.4 million vehicles.

Miller and Valasek will be presenting at Black Hat this year.

JPMorgan tops U.S., international bank risk list Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

A failure of JPMorgan Chase poses the greatest risk to the international financial system, even when compared with banks in Europe and Asia, according to a government study.

The New York-based bank was given a “systematic importance score” of 5% in a report that measures the threat to global financial stability should any one of the world’s 30 largest and mostNEW YORK

interconnected banks fail.

JPMorgan was followed by London’s HSBC, which scored 4.8%, and New York’s Citigroup, which scored 4.3%, according to the report, released Tuesday by the Office of Financial Research (OFR), a unit of the Department of the Treasury.

Some U.S. banks have griped about tighter capital requirements and other new regulations in the past, saying such restrictions place them at a disadvantage compared with overseas competitors. But OFR’s report showed U.S. banks dominated the

top 10 list of risky global banks, including JPMorgan at No. 1, Citigroup at No. 3, Bank of Amer-

ica at No. 7, Morgan Stanley at No. 9 and Goldman Sachs at No. 10 with a 2.5% risk assessment.

Wells Fargo scored No. 18, behind the Bank of China and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. OFR’s report also showed that many U.S. banks currently fall short of their European and Asian peers when it comes to their capital ratios relative to risk.

But that’s expected to change under new Federal Reserve rules, the report suggested.

In July, the Federal Reserve released stricter rules for determining how much capital the nation’s

eight largest banks must hold to protect against future calamities.

Under the new rules, the Fed imposed a “risk-based capital surcharge” for banks with at least $250 billion in total assets, or at least $10 billion in foreign exposure, that rely heavily on shortterm wholesale funding, including overnight loans.

The surcharge will be phased in from Jan. 1, 2016, to Jan. 1, 2019, and will impact JPMorgan, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, State Street and the Bank of New York Mellon.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Greece’s debt problems are ancient history. Investors have two new things to worry about — and both are much closer to home.

Top of mind is the Apple stock implosion. Shares of the gadget maker are down nearly 15% from their all-time high of $134.54 notched back in April. Most of Apple’s gains for the year are gone, and shares are up just 4%.

Apple is just one stock, but its rollover takes on enormous import for the market.

With its market value of more than $650 billion, Apple is worth more than any other company in the Standard & Poor’s 500, Dow Jones industrials or the Nasdaq 100. Each of these major indexes, which many investors benchmark

money against, are subject to being hurt when Apple suffers, as it is an important member of all of them. Additionally, Apple is consistently one of, if not the, most widely held stocks by individual investors. When Apple stock falls, individual investors notice. For them, the drop is unnerving, to put it lightly.

Meanwhile, investors are fretting over a subtle but important increase in the default rate of companies. The default rate of companies with the lowest credit ratings is up to 2.2%, says Standard & Poor’s, the highest level since 2013.

Meanwhile, borrowing costs continue to creep upward, presenting a new potential risk for companies. The S&P U.S. distress ratio, an indicator of how concerned bond investors are about speculative borrowers, jumped to 13.2% in July from 10.8% in June.

Investors aren’t keen on food maker’s future

Q: Can I make money on Kellogg?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Kellogg investors are getting a taste of how difficult it is to grow is when consumers shift consumption pattterns to competitors. It’s a difficult transition that could make Kellogg an unappetizing stock for now.

Investors got more comfortable with the packaged foods maker Tuesday after it reported a quarterly adjusted profit of 92 cents a share. That matched what analysts were looking for. Revenue of $3.5 billion during the quarter exceeded expectations by about 1%, S&P Capital IQ says. Investors sent shares about 2% higher on the news to roughly $67.40 a share.

The problem is that the company is still contracting. Adjusted profit during the quarter was down 9.8% and revenue fell 5% from the same period a year ago.

The company is still trying to find ways to lure consumers, who are shifting consumption to less packaged food products for now.

But while some stocks are worth waiting for, Wall Street analysts don’t think this is one of them. The company’s adjusted profit is expected to drop 7% this year and revenue to fall 6%. Growth is expected to return next year, but at a tepid 1.5% pace. Analysts rate the stock a hold and have an average 18-month price target of $62.13 a share — indicating it’s already more than fully priced.

Bank of America takes heat for effort to expand CEO role Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

An outspoken banking analyst blasted Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan on Monday for asking shareholders to also OK him as the bank’s chairman.

Moynihan’s “track record is mixed,” said Mike Mayo, analyst with CLSA, in a research report to clients Monday. “While (BofA’s) balance sheet is much cleaner, it has had Fed stress issues in two of the past three years ... and the worst large-bank stock

H. DARR BEISER, USA TODAY

Analysts are blasting Bank of America’s effort to approve CEO Brian Moynihan as chairman.

performance from the time that the CEO took over.”

Mayo’s scathing review follows a filing by the $185 billion bank

Friday saying it will soon set a date for shareholders to vote on the issue. Shareholders who own BofA stock as of Aug. 10 will be allowed to weigh in at the special shareholder meeting, the bank said in the regulatory filing.

BofA, in a move that drew investors’ ire, recently reversed a vote by shareholders, made during the financial crisis, to split the roles of CEO and chairman. Amid backlash from some shareholders, BofA agreed to let shareholders vote on the issue — again — at a special meeting.

But Mayo on Monday painted BofA’s decision to combine the

CEO and Chairman roles, without guidance from shareholders, as enough of a reason to reject the proposal.

“The more relevant question is whether (BofA), after a period of such poor governance, should have more independent oversight — not less,” Mayo said. “As a reminder, the chairman and CEO roles have already been combined ahead of this upcoming vote, implying that (BofA) is running along the adage, ‘it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission,’ ” Mayo said.

Mayo also cited the bank’s ongoing performance concerns, in-

cluding the Federal Reserve’s decision in March to give BofA a conditional pass of its 2015 stress test. The test seeks to measure a large bank’s ability to withstand large market shocks, such as the mortgage crisis of 2008.

Combining the CEO and chairman roles threatens to “reduce oversight” of an already underperforming bank, Mayo wrote.

In July, BofA announced it had reshuffled its executive team, including replacing its CFO as well as the person responsible for next year’s stress test. Shares of the $185 billion bank rose 0.2%, or 3 cents, to $17.80 Tuesday.

he road to the big screen for Fantastic Four has been as rocky as the Thing’s skin.

The latest cinematic launch of Marvel Comics’ “First Family” has brought news of behind-thescenes trouble, fan vitriol and media stumbles.

“It’s challenging when a reboot comes out only a few years after a previous version, as some fans will have a strong association with that film,” says Fandango .com correspondent Tiffany Smith, referring to director Tim Story’s Fantastic Four movies in 2005 and 2007.

Plus, she says, “it’s a crowded market for superhero movies this year, and fans really expect something new and fresh.”

It was director Josh Trank (Chronicle) and his emotional grounding of the material that won over producer Simon Kinberg — in Fantastic Four, a trip to an alternate dimension gives new powers and problems to stretchy Reed Richards (Miles Teller), invisible Sue Storm (Kate Mara), fiery Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan) and rock monster Ben Grimm, aka the Thing (Jamie Bell).

“I’ve read tons of stuff about this movie — about every movie — and the comic-book world, there is so much speculation, some right and some wrong,” Kinberg says.

The most troubling sign is that Fantastic Four didn’t screen early for critics, “which typically means the studio doesn’t want responses to the movie flooding Twitter ahead of release,” says Scott Beggs, managing editor of movie site Film School Rejects.

(The studio 20th Century Fox had no comment.)

Other movies have bounced back from similar backstage troubles. Marvel’s Ant-Man lost its original director weeks before filming began last year, and it has racked up a respectable $132 million since its release in July.

Another positive for Fantastic Four is its impressive cast of actors, Smith says. “They are all indie darlings, and we haven’t seen a big superhero film helmed by actors like this before.”

Movie buffs may follow all news around a major Hollywood production, but because that’s a small part of the mainstream audience, don’t count Fantastic Four out yet, says Rentrak senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian: “Let’s just give the movie a chance and let the fanboys and fangirls decide.”

NEW YORK Just shortly after what would have been Elvis Presley’s 80th birthday, a new album will arrive presenting the King of Rock ’n’ Roll in a different context.

If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley With the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, due Oct. 30, pairs vocals Presley recorded between 1956 and 1973 with new orchestral accompaniment.

Michael Bublé performs a virtual duet of Fever, and guitarist Duane Eddy appears on Bridge Over Troubled Water and An American Trilogy. The popera trio Il Volo lends additional vocals to It’s Now Or Never.

“It gives me chills,” Priscilla Presley said, discussing the album at a private listening session where Bridge and Fever were among the tracks played. “I know

he’s smiling and going, ‘Wow.’ ” Stylish as ever in a form-fitting royal blue dress with sheer black sleeves, the King’s former wife joined album producers Don Reedman and Nick Patrick on a panel led by veteran journalist and author Anthony DeCurtis.

Priscilla recalled Reedman approaching her about the project in London, noting, “It made perfect sense.” Elvis had always had diverse taste in music, she noted;

the Hollywood tenor Mario Lanza was a favorite, and his album collection included recordings by opera star Enrico Caruso as well as B.B. King, Roy Hamilton, Frank Sinatra, Dionne Warwick and Mahalia Jackson.

“He loved the power of the operatic voice,” Priscilla said. “He loved drama. He loved bigness.”

She reminded attendees of the influence “the Penetcostal Church and gospel singing” had on her former husband’s work.

“He needs to be known for more than just rock ’n’ roll,” she said.

When the title track of Dream was played, she noted that the song, which quotes Martin Luther King Jr., was written “around the time we lost JFK” and that she considered it a reflection of Elvis’ “hope for peace.”

Elvis could be earnestly critical of his vocal ability. “He didn’t like his voice” at times, she said, and would try to learn from not only

singers but the movie stars he loved, mimicking Humphrey Bogart and others.

“As he matured, his song choices got deeper,” she said.

He began to feel that his famous and controversial manager, Colonel Tom Parker, was too “controlling.”

Introducing a newly fleshedout And The Grass Won’t Pay No Mind, Priscilla noted it was written by a then-up-and-comer named Neil Diamond. Elvis was intent on championing fresh talent: “He was on a mission.”

Other songs on Dream are Burning Love, Love Me Tender, You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling, There’s Always Me, Can’t Help Falling In Love, In the Ghetto, How Great Thou Art and Steamroller Blues.

Priscilla noted that part of the intent of the album is to showcase material that had been “lost,” or was less popular.

“Hopefully, we’ll do more.”

Former Jayhawk White to debut with NU

KANSAS FOOTBALL

What to watch for Plenty of questions to answer with camp set to start

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Basketball notebook. ...

Former Kansas University guard Andrew White III, who sat out last season at Nebraska in accordance with NCAA transfer rules, will make his unofficial Husker debut on a fourgame trip to Spain that starts on Aug. 16.

“It’s real exciting for me just because I’ve been eyeing this trip moreso than my first season coming up,” White, a 6-7 junior-to-be from RichWhite mond, Virginia, told the Lincoln Journal-Star. “I knew this was the first thing in the road as far as my career getting started off at Nebraska.”

The 220-pound White averaged 2.4 points and 1.2 rebounds per game his sophomore season (2013-14) at KU. He hit 44.1 percent of his shots, including eight of 25 threes for 32 percent.

His ability to go on amazing shooting streaks in practice has not yet translated into games on the college level.

“Andrew is one kid I’ve coached in a long time that can — first of all, every time he gets a good look, you think it’s going in, and second of all, he can take a bad pass, catch it, and make a shot,” Nebraska coach Tim Miles told the Journal-Star.

“Third of all, he can look like he’s out of rhythm and still make a shot. That’s kind of a trifecta for shooters. If you can pull that off, you’re in pretty good shape.”

White is a certain starter for the Huskers, whose 28.4 percent mark from threepoint distance last season ranked No. 337 out of 345 NCAA Div. I teams.

“I feel like a completely different player,” the 22-year-old White told the Omaha World-Herald. l White’s brother plays ball, too: White’s brother, Andrien, has signed a letter-of-intent with first-year UNC Charlotte coach Mark Price. White, a 6-3 point guard not ranked by Rivals. com, averaged 14 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL COACH DAVID BEATY tries to keep his team amped up during spring practice on March 24. The Jayhawks will hold their first practice of the 2015 seaason Thursday night, don full pads on Aug. 11 and begin two-a-days on Aug. 12.

August has arrived and that means another Kansas University football season is officially upon us.

The Jayhawks will report to preseason camp today — they’ll stay in the Holidome this year instead of Naismith Hall on campus — and kick off the first practice of the 2015 season on Thursday evening. After that, they’ll hit the practice field Friday, Saturday and Monday before jumping into full pads on Aug. 11 and the first session of two-a-days on Aug. 12.

With an entirely new coaching staff and several unproven players looking to fill in for departed veterans, this year’s camp figures to be as interesting as any camp in the past several years. Jobs are up for grabs. Currently anonymous names may surface. And the first incarnation of a David Beaty-run team will start to take shape.

Here, in no particular order, is a quick look at 15 things to track at 2015 preseason camp: 1. Quarterbacks — Junior Montell Cozart has the inside track on becoming the Week 1 starter, but we’ll finally get a look at freshmen Carter Stanley and Ryan Willis.

Chiefs willing to give second chances

St. Joseph, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Chiefs have demonstrated a willingness under general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid to give players who have run into trouble a second chance.

They’ve also proven there’s no such thing as a third.

Take the case of Justin Please see HOOPS, page 3C Cox, a defensive back from

Mississippi State. He went undrafted after missing the final three games and the Orange Bowl last season following a domestic violence arrest — a charge that was ultimately dropped — and the Chiefs gave him a shot.

But when Cox was arrested again this summer, it took them less than 24 hours to send him packing.

“I wouldn’t say there’s a

hard and fast policy because every situation is different,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said. “It’s up to John and his staff to do the research when a player has an incident and make a judgment call whether it’s going to work out. That particular situation, it didn’t, but John is very aware we don’t want guys who are going to be a problem.”

The Chiefs do want players who can help them win, though, and therein lies the balancing act that all NFL teams face: When do you take a risk? When do take a pass?

In the three years since Dorsey and Reid have been in charge, the Chiefs have added numerous players

It’s up to John (Dorsey) and his staff to do the research.”

Law to coach FSHS boys golf

CHUCK LAW INSTRUCTS HIS FREE STATE HIGH boys basketball team during a game against Lawrence High on Feb. 27. Law will be the Firebirds’ new boys golf coach.

Chuck Law is moving from the hardwood to the putting green.

Law was announced as Free State’s boys golf coach on Tuesday, replacing Matt Gudenkauf who resigned at the end of last season. Adam Barmann, a co-offensive coordinator for the football team, will be the assistant coach.

Law, who stepped down as the school’s boys basketball coach in March, coached boys golf at Emporia High for two years in 1998 and ’99.

“We’re thrilled to have Chuck remain a part of our coaching staff,” Free State

athletic director Mike Hill said. “His previous experience as head golf coach at Emporia High School and his relationship with students here in our school is going to be really beneficial for our kids. We’re excited to have him aboard.”

Along with his previous coaching experience, Law had plenty of success playing the sport. He turned down a golf scholarship to Emporia State University out of high school to attend Kansas University.

“It’s been a long time but I really enjoyed my time doing it then,” Law said of coaching golf. “Certainly something that I’d always hoped would present itself.

Golf coaching jobs don’t

come open very often. Usually guys get in them and stay in them for a long period of time because it’s a fun job.”

Gudenkauf left Free State to take a job with KU Endowment after coaching the Firebirds for 10 seasons. He led Free State to third place in the Sunflower League last spring and sixth place at the Class 6A state tournament.

“Each year we progressively got better,” Gudenkauf said. “The culture of the team got stronger. Yeah, I think the program as a whole is pretty strong. I am just tickled to death that it is Chuck Law that is going to be taking my spot. … There’s Please see LAW, page 3C

TAMPA BAY RAYS

AL CENTRAL

By David Whitley

Hunter Kemper didn’t detect anything suspicious on Sunday. All he could see floating in the Brazilian water was swimmers. The smell of port-a-potty did not hang in the tropical breeze.

So he said a little prayer and took the plunge.

Triathloning is a tough job, you know, but somebody’s got to do it.

“What was I supposed to do?” Kemper laughed.

He was at the Rio de Janeiro ITU World Olympic Qualification Event. It was a long way from Clermont, where Kemper competed in his first triathlon in 1986.

He was 10. Twenty-nine years and a gazillion miles of swimming, biking and running later, Kemper needed to finish in the top eight Sunday to qualify for his fifth U.S. Olympic team.

The bad news is he finished 41st. The good news is there will be more chances to qualify.

Actually, the good news is Kemper didn’t get out of the water and drop dead from hepatitis. An Associated Press investigation published last week revealed the water around Rio is dirtier than Hulk Hogan’s mouth.

Raw sewage flows freely into Brazil’s Olympic competition sites. Tests measured up to 1.7 million times the level of viruses that’s considered hazardous on California beaches.

The gilded members of the International Olympic Committee won’t have to swim in it, but they did at least order more tests. Previously, the water was checked for bacteria, not viruses.

I don’t know the difference, but I do know the triathlon is hard enough without having to dodge human feces. To clean up a timeless phrase — how much more excrement can a guy take?

“I’m sure I’ve swam in worse,” Kemper said.

Over the phone Monday, he sounded like the wizened road-pool-and-bike warrior he is. In the inaugural Olympic triathlon at the 2000 Sydney Games, the big worry was sharks.

Kemper survived that.

He endured a pelvic stress fracture to finish seventh in Beijing.

Merely making it to London in 2012 was miraculous after a bike crash the year before. His shattered left elbow needed a metal plate and 15 screws.

He got a staph infection after surgery.

“There’s been some drama,” Kemper said.

Along the way, he was top U.S. finisher at every Olympics. He was ranked No. 1 in the world. He became the first triathlete on the cover of a Wheaties box.

Such are the rewards when you swim 5,000 meters and bike another 40 miles six days a week. Kemper runs up to 10 miles seven days a week, and we’re not talking pleasant jogs around his Colorado Springs neighborhood.

The grind has gone on for almost two decades. It’s complicated now by four young children.

Kemper admits his body doesn’t respond like it used to, but his spirit is as willing as ever.

“It needs a little more of a pep talk sometimes,” he said.

“But the fire’s still burning. It’s burning even stronger now.”

GINGER HUBER OF THE UNITED STATES COMPETES IN THE WOMEN’S 20-METER HIGH DIVE FINAL at the Swimming World Championships Tuesday in Kazan, Russia.

Aussies dominate podium at swimming worlds Kazan, Russia — Australia dominated the 100-meter backstroke events at the world swimming championships Tuesday, winning the men’s title and going 1-2 in the women’s final.

Two more world records fell on the third night of swimming at Kazan Arena, where a cool breeze swept through the soccer stadium.

Mitchell Larkin won the men’s 100 back in 52.40 seconds.

He came into the championships with the top time in the world this year, having emerged at last year’s Commonwealth Games, where he earned silver in the 100 and gold in the 200 back.

“The first thing that came into my head was, ‘Wow. This is the moment. This is what you’ve dreamt of for so many years,’” Larkin said.

“You can just get caught up in the circus, the lights, the sounds, the atmosphere, and here I sort of just took it in and enjoyed it, rather than thinking, ‘Oh my god, this is a world championships.’”

Camille Lacourt of France was second in 52.48 and current Olympic champion Matt Grevers of the United States finished third in 52.66. Grevers won the world title two years ago.

Emily Seebohm led a 1-2 finish for the Aussies in the women’s final, with all eight swimmers going under 1 minute. She won in 58.26 to earn her first individual gold at worlds, having finished second to American Missy Franklin in two years ago in Barcelona.

“I touched the wall and I was just so excited,” Seebohm said. “I was like, ‘Oh my god, is that my name with a one? Yes it is! Oh my god, I did it! I finally did it!’”

Seebohm sang a country song in her head as she churned through the water.

“It’s just about kicking arse and being a girl, so I thought it was very appropriate,” she said.

Seebohm’s teammate, Madison Wilson, was second in 58.75 and Mie Oe Nielsen of Denmark was third in 58.86.

Seebohm whipped out her camera phone to take a selfie of her and Wilson on deck with their medals.

Franklin finished fifth in 59.40.

“Definitely disappointed with the 100. Obviously, that’s not what I wanted to go,” she said.

“But that’s where I am right now.”

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Alex Gordon hopes to take BP Detroit — Alex Gordon took indoor batting practice on Tuesday afternoon for the first time since his severe groin injury in July. He hopes to take batting practice outdoors with his teammates this weekend at Kauffman Stadium.

Gordon is still expected to rejoin the Royals by the end of August. He injured his groin trying to match a catch near the Kauffman Stadium warning track on July 8.

Gordon also took soft-toss swings on Tuesday. He has been able to do some agility drills to test the readiness of his groin. He ran patterns in the outfield and caught footballs before Tuesday’s game against the Tigers.

Dombrowski out in Detroit Detroit — Dave Dombrowski is out as president and general manager of the Detroit Tigers and been replaced by Al Avila.

The move was announced Tuesday by the Tigers, who are 51-54 and 111⁄2 games out of first place in the AL Central.

Dombrowski joined the Tigers as team president in 2002. He replaced Randy Smith as general manager after the team lost the first six games of the season.

He presided over Detroit’s AL-record 119 losses in 2003. But he built a roster that reached the postseason five times, losing the World Series in 2006 and 2012.

Avila is the father of Tigers catcher Alex Avila. He has served as Dombrowski’s top assistant since 2002 and also worked under him with the Marlins.

Blue Jays suspended for brawl Toronto — Toronto pitcher Aaron Sanchez has been suspended for three games and manager John Gibbons for one for their roles in Sunday’s brawling game between the Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals.

Major League Baseball on Monday also fined Sanchez an undisclosed sum for intentionally throwing at Alcides Escobar with warnings in place during the top of the eighth inning of Toronto’s 7-6 win. Sanchez contends his pitch just got away.

Gibbons is to miss Monday night’s home game against Minnesota. He was disciplined for coming back on the field when the benches cleared following Sanchez’s pitch. Gibbons already had been ejected in the seventh inning.

Sanchez’s suspension is to start Monday night. If he appeals, his penalties will be held until the matter is settled.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Cards to play in Puerto Rico Louisville, Ky. — Louisville men’s basketball team has scheduled nine exhibition games over six days against Puerto Rico national teams, including three doubleheaders.

The Cardinals’ tour opens Tuesday in San Juan with consecutive evening doubleheaders featuring split squads against Puerto Rico’s junior and national squads. Another doubleheader follows Saturday in Trujillo Alto with single games at other island sites on Thursday against the junior team and Friday and Sunday against the national squad.

Louisville coach Rick Pitino will guide the national team as part of his commitment to lead that program in two international competitions this summer. His assistants will coach the Cardinals during the program’s first summer foreign trip since 2011 to the Bahamas.

The Cardinals beat Richard Pitino-coached Minnesota last November in the Armed Forces Classic in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.

BOXING

Mayweather will fight Sept. 12 Las Vegas — Floyd Mayweather Jr. will return to the ring for the first time since boxing’s richest fight ever, facing Andre Berto on Sept. 12 in Las Vegas.

Mayweather posted an announcement of the fight Tuesday on several social media outlets.

The bout will be televised on pay-per-view by the Showtime network.

Mayweather, who made more than $200 million for his fight May 2 against Manny Pacquiao, doesn’t figure to make nearly as much against Berto. It will be the last in a six-fight deal Mayweather has with Showtime, after which he has said he will retire.

Mayweather has won all 48 of his fights and will be a lopsided favorite against Berto (30-3), who was once touted as a rising star in boxing but has lost three of his last six bouts.

SOCCER

Qatar promises best WC ever Doha, Qatar — Qatar’s top diplomat on Tuesday promised that his country would host a successful World Cup in 2022 and suggested that criticism of its successful bid was partly based on racism.

The bid is under renewed scrutiny following the launch of American and Swiss investigations into corruption at football’s world governing body, FIFA. Foreign Minister Khalid al-Attiyah reiterated Qatar’s stance that it has and will continue to cooperate with investigators. He said he was confident the event would go ahead and will be “the best World Cup ever.”

He also hit back at international criticism of Qatar, saying “some parties cannot digest that a small, Arabic state ... is hosting such an event.”

Al-Attiyah acknowledged that more needs to be done to improve conditions for migrant laborers at World Cup sites.

Royals’ Perez packs punch Chiefs

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Detroit (ap) — Salvador Perez can’t explain his success against Justin Verlander. He just hopes it continues.

Perez had three hits off Verlander, including a homer, and drove in three runs as the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers, 5-1, Tuesday night.

Perez is now hitting .474 (18-for-38) in his career against Verlander.

“He’s a great pitcher, and I don’t know any secret,” Perez said. “I’m just up there trying to do my job and he’s trying to do his job. Today he left a couple fastballs up, and I was able to hit them.”

Verlander (1-4) struggled in his ninth start of the season, allowing five runs on 10 hits in seven innings. He didn’t walk a batter for a career-best third straight start, but the Tigers are now 1-8 in his outings this year.

The game was overshadowed by an afternoon announcement that Dave Dombrowski was being replaced as Detroit’s general manager by his top assistant, Al Avila. In 14 years with the Tigers, Dombrowski took one of the worst franchises in the game and took it to six postseason appearances, including World Series losses in 2006 and 2012.

Detroit came into the season looking for a fifth straight AL Central title,

been made about Beaty’s desire to put together a strong walk-on program.

And last month in Dallas he said he thought two or three such players would be in a position to help KU right away. Will they stand out in camp?

3. Newcomers — More than half of KU’s 2015 recruiting class did not arrive on campus until June and camp will give us our first chance to see several of these guys in action. With the Jayhawks lacking depth and overall numbers, the opportunity is there for several of these guys to play key roles right away.

4. Notable absences?

— As with any camp, it’s almost always just as interesting to see if any players don’t show up.

That’s rarely good news for the program, but it always makes for an interesting story line and often is kept quiet until one day we look out there and notice a certain jersey number is missing. We’ll see if that’s the case this week.

5. Body changes?

KANSAS CITY’S SALVADOR PEREZ is congratulated by teammates after hitting a home run against the Tigers on Tuesday night in Detroit. but now trail the Royals by 121⁄2 games.

“It is strange to come here and see some of their big guys gone and then to hear about Dave Dombrowski,” said Eric Hosmer, who scored twice, both on Perez RBIs. “That has to be really tough for them, especially after the last few years.”

Danny Duffy (5-5) allowed one run on five hits and four walks in seven innings, only striking out two.

“Danny was outstanding tonight,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

After Perez drove in Kansas City’s first three runs, former Tiger Omar Infante doubled to lead off the fifth, took third on Alcides Escobar’s sacrifice fly and scored on Ben

Zobrist’s sacrifice fly to deep right.

Detroit loaded the bases with one out in their half of the fifth, but Anthony Gose grounded into a force at the plate and Rajai Davis popped out.

“That was huge,” Yost said. “With that offense, you don’t want to give them anything that lets them get back into the game.”

Alex Rios increased the Royals’ lead to 5-0 with a bloop double in the sixth, scoring Kendrys Morales, but the Tigers got a run back in the bottom of the inning on Victor Martinez’s RBI single.

Detroit threatened again in the seventh, as Nick Castellanos led off with a triple and Je-

see what kind of impact the new weight room philosophy had on the bodies of the returning players. It’s not always good and not always bad, but it’s always interesting.

6. Conditioning — Speaking of a new strength coach, the talk all summer was that the Jayhawks were really emphasizing the running and cardio portion of their offseason program and this week will give us our first chance to see if their improved stamina is noticeable.

7. Welcome back — A couple of guys who we haven’t seen play football for quite a while will be back in action this month and it should be cool to see how they look coming off of injury. Senior running back Taylor Cox (hamstring in 2013 and torn Achilles’ in 2014) is at the top of this list.

8. DBU? — Aqib Talib.

Chris Harris. JaCorey Shepherd. Tyler Patmon.

Darrell Stuckey. All are recent Jayhawks who now have a home in the NFL. KU is replacing its entire starting secondary this season and it’s time to see if one of these new lead dogs has what it takes to be added to this list. Best guess: juco transfer Bazie Bates IV. 9. Air it out — We

won’t see much of the Air Raid offense until the Jayhawks hit the field for real in September, but it will be talked about — a lot. Offensive coordinator Rob Likens, technically, is the Jayhawks’ seventh OC in the past seven seasons and although he has not yet had time to bring in all of the pieces he needs to make the offense hum, camp will provide a good look at how he makes the pieces he has work for this year’s team.

10. Beaty time — For the past seven months Beaty has praised his coaching staff and said he would be more than happy to function as a GM and make the final calls while letting those guys do their jobs. That’s how it played out this spring and there’s no reason to think it will be any different once camp starts.

11. Calling all D-Tackles — What will things look like at KU’s thinnest position? The interior of the defensive line is as unproven and inexperienced as any position on the roster and some young guys are going to have to step up fairly quickly in order for the KU defense to have a chance. Kapil Fletcher, Tyler Holmes and Daniel Wise are a few names to watch.

“There’s something to be said about big guys who like to play at the rim and play with power,” Eric Bossi of Rivals.com told Peegs.com. l Hamidou Diallo offered: Kansas has offered a scholarship to Hamidou Diallo, a 6-4 junior shooting guard from Putnam (Connecticut) High, according to Zagsblog.com.

Diallo, who is not related to KU freshman Cheick Diallo, averaged 19.5 ppg at the recent Adidas Nations tourney in California. He’s ranked No. 19 in the Class of 2017.

He’s also considering UConn, Florida, Villanova, Maryland, Louisville, N.C. State, Indiana, Seton

The Center used to be known as the Clearinghouse.

fry Marte followed with a walk. Gose grounded to third baseman Mike Moustakas, who looked Castellanos back to the base before throwing to second for the force.

Castellanos then broke for the plate, and Infante threw home to easily retire him and end the threat.

“My initial reaction was that if he wanted to go to the plate I was a sitting duck,” Castellanos said.

12. Let’s kick it — Trevor Pardula, one of KU’s best weapons from the past couple of seasons, is gone and the kicking game remains a mystery. Who will emerge as KU’s punter and will veteran Matthew Wyman show enough consistency to hold on to the placekicking job?

13. Leadership — Beaty called senior Ben Goodman by far the best leader on the roster, but which other players will step up and help Goodman show this young and inexperienced roster the way?

14. Gary gone wild — The entire coaching staff is full of energy, enthusiasm and passion, but few show it as well and as often as special teams coordinator and tight ends coach Gary Hyman. Seriously, this guy should have his own reality show.

Offensive line chemistry — The tackles appear to be set, with Jordan Shelley-Smith on the left side and Larry Mazyck on the right. After that, though, there are seven or eight guys vying for three starting jobs and a spot on the two-deep.

The competition will be fierce and it will behoove the Jayhawks a great deal to identify the first five sooner rather than later.

with checkered pasts, and so far they’ve mostly steered clear of trouble.

Tight end Travis Kelce was their third-round pick a couple years ago, even though he had been suspended in college for violating team rules. Not only has Kelce developed into one of the most dynamic tight ends in the game, he has also matured into a locker room leader.

“A little bit more accountability,” Kelce replied, when asked how he’s changed.

The Chiefs also took a chance on cornerback Phillip Gaines in last year’s draft. He had run into trouble at Rice, but his size and speed made him an intriguing prospect. Fast-forward to this year’s training camp and Gaines is competing for one of the starting jobs.

But perhaps never have the Chiefs taken on so many players with spotty pasts as this past season, beginning with the draft and continuing right on through free agency.

Their first-round pick, Marcus Peters, was thrown off his team at Washington because he could not get along with new coach Chris Peterson. But the Chiefs insist that they researched the standout cornerback, who might’ve been a top10 pick had he stayed out of trouble, and came away confident that Peters had learned from his mistakes and was unlikely to repeat them.

“It was an emotional situation and he didn’t handle it the right way. I think he’s learned from it, just from our experience with him,” Reid said. “He was up front with us. He said, ‘I goofed,’ and that’s half the battle.”

really not a better person to jump right in and take it to new levels.”

Gudenkauf texted and emailed his former players when he decided to leave teaching and coaching in May, and he received “nothing but support” from them.

“It was pretty tough,” Gudenkauf said of leaving the golf team. “It certainly weighed on my decision to leave teaching in general. I even did try to look at it and see if it was something that I could hang on to, but with my new position, it just wouldn’t work.”

Law will start next spring with a team capable of finishing near the top of the Sunflower League. The Firebirds are expected to return plenty of firepower from last year’s squad.

“I’m really excited about that,” Law said.

“There’s three guys back endure while at OSNAS that were a part of the qualify him for immediate eligibility at KU? It seems no, but the NCAA is still going through the case and deciding,” wrote CBSsports.com’s Matt Norlander.

If the Eligibility Center does ultimately deem Diallo ineligible, KU has a right to appeal with any new information gathered. Thus the process still could take an extended period of time. KU would obviously hope to have everything decided by the start of practice in early October.

David Irving has also acknowledged his mistakes, a big reason Kansas City was willing to give him a shot as an undrafted free agent.

The former Iowa State standout was suspended after he was charged with domestic abuse against the mother of his child, a charge that was later dropped. Then, during a riot near campus during a student-run festival, Irving was photographed holding a stop sign that he argued was handed to him by another person. He was charged with theft, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief.

When he did make it onto the field, Irving was one of the best defensive linemen in the Big 12, and he could help the Chiefs absorb the loss of nose tackle Dontari Poe to injury.

“We knew he was a good football player,” Reid said. “He had some issues, obviously. John Dorsey and his crew, I thought, did a nice job getting in there and making sure with him that he would fit in here and that he kind of had things going in the right direction.”

Dorsey and Reid also thought that Cox was headed in the right direction, only to be proven wrong. But that is the tightrope they are willing to walk — star potential on one side of a very thin line, and more trouble looming just on the other.

“John and I talk about it, and he knows that we want to be a leader in the NFL,” Hunt said, “not a team that has a lot of guys that are getting in trouble.”

Notes: Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton said Tuesday that LB Derrick Johnson “is back to where he was” before his season-ending Achilles injury. ... Gaines left practice early with an injury. It did not appear to be serious.

team that qualified for state last year. Obviously with the two Jacks (Jack Flynn and Jack Junge), you have two really highquality players. And Tate Steele had a really good freshman campaign last year.

“I know there’s some guys on the junior-varsity team that are just waiting for the opportunity for next year. A couple of kids that, I think, are coming into the freshmen class are pretty good players so it’s nice to have that kind of depth of talent right away.”

Barmann told Law about the open position in May and Law was immediately interested in becoming a golf coach again.

“Matt Gudenkauf did a great job,” Law said.

“He really established, especially the last four or five years, Free State as a very solid program in the league and in state competition. I’m just fortunate to have the opportunity to kind of build upon what he’s gotten going of late and hope that we can continue with it.”

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Blue Jays stay hot Giants 8, Braves 3 Atlanta — Hunter Pence hit a tie-breaking three-run homer in the eighth inning.

The Associated Press

American League Blue Jays 3, Twins 1 Toronto — Josh Donaldson and Troy Tulowitzki hit solo home runs, Marco Estrada pitched 6-plus innings to win consecutive starts and Toronto beat Minnesota.

Toronto’s sixth win in seven games moved the Blue Jays ahead of the Twins and into the second AL wild-card spot.

Minnesota has been held to just one run in four of its past five games, losing all four. The Twins are 5-12 since the All-Star break.

Yankees 13, Red Sox 3 New York — Brian McCann and Chris Young hit three-run homers during a nine-run burst in the seventh inning and New York broke loose once again, romping past Boston.

Down 2-1 and held to three singles going into the sixth, the Yankees suddenly struck. The AL East leaders wound up scoring in double figures for the fourth time in seven games — they’d gone more than a month without doing it until a 21-5 rout at Texas last week.

Mark Teixeira hit a pair of RBI singles and McCann, Alex Rodriguez, Carlos Beltran and Chase Headley added late doubles as the Yankees won for the 11th time in 15 games.

TORONTO’S TROY TULOWITZKY, LEFT, GETS A HIGH FIVE from teammate Jose Bautista after he hit a home run against the Twins during the Blue Jays’ 3-1 win Tuesday in Toronto.

Rays 11, White Sox 3 Chicago — Chris Archer pitched seven strong innings, and the Tampa Bay Rays backed him with a season-high four homers while pounding Chris Sale and Chicago.

Archer (10-8) allowed two runs and six hits for his first win since June 23, and the Rays matched their highest home run total since Sept. 7.

Defense attorneys seek new grand jury in Morris twins’ case J-W Staff Reports

Defense attorneys for former Kansas University basketball standouts Marcus and Markieff Morris are seeking a new grand jury for the twin brothers, who are charged with aggravated assault.

The Arizona Republic reported lawyers representing the NBA players claim prosecutors presented “false and misleading evidence” and withheld information pertinent to the case in a motion to return it to a grand jury and determine whether probable cause exists.

Marcus, who has since been traded to Detroit, and Markieff, who remains on Phoenix’s roster, both played for the Suns when the alleged

assault took place in January. They pleaded not guilty to the charges in May. Both Morris brothers and three other men are accused of assaulting 36-year-old Erik Hood, at a sports complex in Phoenix.

According to the Republic, the twins’ attorneys contend a witness told police he saw the Morris brothers in a parking lot “at least 100 yards away from the fracas,” and the testimony wasn’t shared with the grand jury. The motion also said prosecutors failed to mention Hood changed his version of the incident.

The Morris twins are due back in Maricopa County, Arizona Superior Court on Sept. 16.

Coconutty Cucumber Salad and Cucumber Gin Fizz

COOLING OFF WITH

CUCUMBER

I

f you don’t have a garden, you probably know someone who does who’s got cucumbers coming out of their ears. I promise.

‘Tis the season.

I have a friend or coworker hand me a big beauty almost every day.

What to do with all these cukes? I mean, dice them on a salad, sure. Dip them in ranch dressing?

I’m not above it. Make pickles? If you have the time. But eventually you need to take it to the next cuke-y level to use up the bounty that is this time of year.

I happened upon this cucumber salad recipe in a fit of “Oh my gosh, all these vegetables!” and I have had it several times a week since. You likely also have some bell peppers floating around, if you have a garden hook-up, so this helps with that situation as well.

The unlikely pairing of coconut oil and balsamic is what sets this apart

The Flying Fork

Megan Stuke from the myriad other cucumber/vinegar salad recipes. It sounds odd, I know, but please trust me on this. You could sub olive oil, but the result would be drastically different and much less exciting.

To go with your fresh cuke salad, you’re going to need a cold and refreshing beverage. And what is more refreshing than a cucumber? That’s right, in a drink.

It’s also a good use of the rest of the lime that you cut open and didn’t use all of in your salad.

We are being resourceful here, people.

Coconutty Cucumber Salad

Ingredients 1 medium cucumber, sliced paper thin 1/2 red or yellow bell pepper, diced into small pieces 1 heaping tablespoon coconut oil 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar 1 clove garlic, minced 1 heaping tablespoon Splenda (or sugar, if you so prefer) 1 squeeze of lime juice Lime zest to taste Healthy pinch of salt Dash of black pepper Directions Stir together the oil, vinegar, spices and lime juice.

Pour over the sliced cucumber and diced pepper and stir around thoroughly to make sure each slice of cucumber has touched the dressing. Top with a bit of lime zest. Serve cold.

Keeps well in the refrigerator for several days.

Serves 2 large portions or several small side portions.

Cucumber Gin Fizz

Ingredients 3 cucumber “ribbons” Juice of one lime 1 egg white 2 ounces gin 1 ounce cold club soda 1 ounce simple syrup Directions To make cucumber ribbons, use a vegetable peeler to remove the green rind from the cucumber and then slice with the peeler from end to end to create long sheets of cucumber. You only need two or three for this, so the rest of the cuke will go into your salad.

In a martini shaker, combine the ingredients and shake vigorously. You can either pour over ice or into a cold glass. Be sure to shake it all out evenly because that is where you get the glorious froth from the egg white, which is key to a good fizz.

— Megan Stuke is a busy mom who tries to prepare nutritional and interesting meals for her family.

Blueberry refrigerator pie

Icebox pies and cakes to chill out summer mallow-Peanut Butter icebox cake was inspired by Fluffernutter sandwiches, and Peppermint-Chocolate is a nod to Baskin-Robbins’ mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Sheehan says icebox cakes are always a hit with her dinner guests, and they make entertaining easy because they’re made hours or even a day ahead of time.

“I like to get a lot done before anyone arrives,” she says. “I love these cakes because that aspect of the dinner party is taken off my plate.”

By Sarah Gish Tribune News Service

When Bobbie Crew was growing up, her favorite treat was her mom’s lemon icebox pie.

The pie was far from fancy: It consisted of a vanilla wafer crust cupping a cool pool of custard-like filling made with sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice. It didn’t bake in the oven — it set in the refrigerator.

Crew, who lives in Lee’s Summit, Mo., and blogs about vegan food at TheVeganCrew.com, now makes a dairy-free version of her mom’s lemon icebox pie with soy milk.

“It’s very silky and smooth,” Crew says. And like all icebox pies, it’s exceptionally sweet on hot summer days.

According to the book “Vintage Cakes” by Julie Richardson (Ten Speed Press, 2012), icebox pies and cakes gained popularity between 1930 and 1950, when refrigerators became fixtures of American kitchens.

Most were made by topping a simple crust with a nobake filling, then chilling the dessert in the refrigerator or freezer for several hours.

Because they’re easy to assemble, icebox pies are often considered “cheat” recipes by serious pie bakers, says Meg Heriford, owner and operator of Ladybird Diner in Lawrence.

“I’m totally into icebox pie,” Heriford says, “but it’s not really pie. It’s chilled dessert in a shell.”

Heriford makes a mean chocolate icebox pie, but her favorite recipe is “Millionaire Pie,” an everything-

Peanut butter pie but-the-kitchen sink dessert made by mixing whipped cream with cherries, nuts, coconut, pineapple and canned mandarin oranges.

Kansas City’s Cleaver & Cork restaurant serves peach icebox pie ($6) made by whipping cream together with cream cheese, sugar and vanilla, then freezing the filling in a crushed pretzel crust. A jam-like layer of sweetened stone fruit sits on top.

“It’s a take on a dessert my mom used to make,” says culinary director Alex Pope, explaining that her version topped a creamy vanilla base with fresh strawberries.

Most old-school icebox pie and cake recipes are seductively simple, but in the new book “Icebox Cakes” (Chronicle Books), you’ll find multi-step recipes that feature homemade cookies, graham crackers and wafers.

New York-based co-author Jessie Sheehan developed many of the recipes with her favorite childhood treats in mind: The Marsh-

Icebox Cake Tips l Icebox cakes are best made a day in advance, but they don’t last long after you cut into them. Most should be eaten within two to three days, Jessie Sheehan says. l Never layer a puddingbased icebox cake with cookies, Sheehan says, because the cookies will get mushy.

“Cookies go with whipped cream,” she says, “and pudding goes with graham crackers or ladyfingers.” l Decorate icebox cake right before serving or the toppings (banana slices, chocolate chunks, etc.) might sink into the soft top and make the dessert look droopy. l While it’s possible to stabilize whipped cream and store it in the fridge, freshly whipped cream makes for the best icebox cakes, Sheehan says. l To make individual icebox cakes, layer ingredients in a Mason jar, chill, then serve the jarred desserts in a bucket of ice at a party or picnic. l For recipes that require a springform pan, remove the outer ring just before serving. Don’t use a spring-

Refrigerator Pie

Berry lovers will flip over this deep purple pie, which incorporates ricotta cheese and a hint of lemon.

Makes one 9-inch deepdish pie 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 pint blueberries, plus 1/2 pint for topping 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder or cornstarch 1 tablespoon lemon juice Grated zest of one lemon 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature 2 cups ricotta cheese, at room temperature Graham cracker crust, store-bought or homemade Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan. Add the blueberries and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, until the berries begin to release their juices.

Mix together the sugar and starch in a small bowl. Stir into the blueberry mixture, then add the lemon juice and zest and cook 5 minutes longer, until the mixture thickens and becomes jammy.

Remove from the heat and stir in the cream cheese and ricotta.

Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and puree for about 1 minute, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Pour the blueberry and cheese mixture into the prepared crust. Arrange the halfpint of blueberries evenly over the surface of the pie, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours
