Kobach to begin prosecutions of voter fraud soon Topeka (ap) — Secretary of State Kris Kobach says he’ll start prosecuting voter fraud cases in September and will focus on cases of double voting from the 2010 election.

Kobach’s office said it is aiming for midSeptember to begin filing charges.

Double voting refers to when a person casts a ballot in more than one jurisdiction in the same Kobach election. Kobach said his office has been working with other states to get documents to support the claims of double voting.

Kobach won the authority to prosecute election crimes during this past legislative session. That authority to prosecute, which he sought, went into effect July 1.

Democratic lawmakers have expressed concern that Kobach will pursue unnecessary prosecutions.

which is upkeep and improvement of the district’s buildings. Approximately $1.5 million of the amount went toward furniture for use in many of the new spaces.

The outlay funds also helped with additional projects, such as the gymnasium at Cordley, which weren’t initially in the bond plan but were determined to be needed improvements, Doll said.

The remaining projects will be bid and brought to the school board for approval in October and November.

The rise in construction costs is being considered for the planning of upcoming projects, Doll said.

“We can take that into account now as we plan the last round of bids,” Doll said, noting that the district has already gone back and re-engineered some buildings to reduce costs.

“Our architects now know that construction costs have increased, so the design of the buildings going forward have to match the dollar that we have budgeted for that particular facility,” he added.

Some schools — Sunset Hill, Kennedy, Lawrence High School and

Back

Woodlawn — have two or three phases of construction. Construction at Sunset Hill and Pinckney will require some shuffling of students to the East Heights building, with Sunset Hill students relocating August 2015 through December 2015, and Pinckney students relocating January 2016 through December 2016.

Most of the 10 remaining bond construction projects will be complete

by August 2016, and all of them are scheduled to be complete by January 2017.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony at the College and Career Center and a “Parade of Schools” are tentatively planned for the end of September.

The “Parade of Schools” will include the five schools where additions and more significant renovations have been completed: Cordley, Hillcrest, Langston Hughes, New York and Quail Run. “We are really looking forward to showing off the buildings to the public, who paid for them,” Doll said. “We’re very thankful that taxpayers funded these projects, and we look forward to showing them how we spent their money to help students.”

all its existing debt to take advantage of better interest rates. In another reform, the city now employs an independent underwriter when issuing bonds.

City projects undertaken during Lowe’s four years, often in partnership with other entities, include the reconstruction of North Sixth Street, the expansion of the Baldwin City Public Library, the building of a new clubhouse at the municipal golf course, the addition of restrooms at three city parks and upgrades to the city’s power and sewer plants.

Also noteworthy during his tenure was the renegotiation and extension of the city’s agreement to purchase wholesale water from the city of Lawrence, which reduced Baldwin City’s wholesale rate by 25 percent and tied any future rate increases to the rate Lawrence charges its customers.

The city is currently renegotiating its wholesale water contract with the city of Wellsville, and that is one of the projects he wants to see through before leaving, Lowe said.

the threat of global climate change.

It calls for a nationwide 32 percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, and it requires states to adopt their own plans for regulating power plants within their borders to meet those targets.

Without addressing the environmental dangers of climate change, Schmidt harshly criticized the EPA’s rules, saying they infringe on states’ rights and will be costly for consumers.

“This new rule appears to have less to do with ‘clean power’ than with centralized economic planning in the energy sector of our economy,” he said.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that the EPA does have the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, within certain limits. That followed a ruling in 2007 in which the court suggested the EPA had a duty to regulate carbon pollution, and it rebuked the George W. Bush administration for declining to adopt tighter emission standards for new vehicles.

But it also ruled earlier this year that the EPA must take into account the cost of new regulations before adopting them, and Schmidt has argued that in this case, the agency failed to do so.

Rabbi Moti Rieber, head of the Lawrence-based environmental group Kansas Interfaith Power & Light, has praised the new rules, and he urged state officials not to put up legal roadblocks.

“We call on the governor and state legislators to support the timely development of an effective state implementation plan, and not to use the process as another opportunity for partisan arm-waving, of which there has been far too much on this issue already,” Rieber said.

In a joint letter to the EPA, the 16 attorneys general said that without a stay, the new rules will “coerce the States to expend enormous public resources and to put aside sovereign priorities to prepare State Plans of unprecedented scope and complexity.”

Prairie plants in Germany? Sister city plans friendship garden In the week that we’re remembering the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan 70 years ago, Lawrence city commissioners agreed to spend $2,500 for a “friendship garden” in the homeland of our other great enemy in World War II, Germany.

Lawrence has long had a sister city relationship with Eutin, Germany. Eutin is hosting the state garden show for the German state of Schleswig-Holstein in 2016, and as part of the event it plans to build a friendship garden honoring its relationship with Lawrence.

Commissioners, at the request of the Lawrence Sister Cities Advisory Board, agreed to donate $2,500 to the cause.

The local Friends of Eutin group plans to raise another $1,500.

Together, the Lawrence contribution will cover about half of the cost of the Eutin garden.

Plans call for the garden to have sunflowers, prairie grasses and some silhouettes of bison, prairie dogs and other animals native to the Great Plains.

I’m sure the garden will be neat. What’s even neater, though, is to think about what can grow, if given 70 years of peace.

In addition to Eutin, Lawrence also has a sister city relationship with Hiratsuka, Japan, and Iniades, Greece.

Part of the plan to curtail the longer lines involves encouraging customers to use the post office’s self-service kiosk, or SSK, Pfluke said.

“The lines do get a little long and customers still want to go inside rather than use the SSK,” she said. “I don’t know if they’re scared or afraid of it, but I can help you; we can do it.”

Additional staff will also be brought in to speed up the process, Pfluke added.

“And for the lunch hour we are hiring a couple more clerks that will be helping,” she said. “Hopefully it should get better.”

KDHE: No records of fetal tissue sales in last 15 years

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Kansas has not received a single report on the handling of fetal tissue in the 15 years that the information has been legally required whenever such tissue is transferred, the state health department has said amid a national debate over abortion providers’ activities.

The Department of Health and Environment’s disclosure comes in response to an Associated Press open records request, made after anti-abortion activists

“

This is just somebody looking for a problem that’s nonexistent.”

— Julie Burkhart, founder and CEO of Wichita-based Trust Women released videos showing Planned Parenthood officials outside Kansas discussing their handling of fetal tissue.

A 2000 Kansas law banning the for-profit sale of fetal organs or tissue requires any person who transfers the tissue — which can be legally donated — to file an annual report providing details about such activities with the state Department of

Health and Environment.

Kansas’ three abortion providers say they don’t have programs for the legal donation of fetal tissue for research by women who’ve terminated their pregnancies, and follow all state and federal laws.

Abortion opponents said Thursday another explanation for the lack of reports is that the requirement is being ignored.

Laura McQuade, presi-

dent and CEO of the regional Planned Parenthood affiliate, which performs abortions at an Overland Park clinic, has said Gov. Sam Brownback launched a “politically motivated witch hunt.”

Neither Brownback’s office nor KDHE spokeswoman Sara Belfry would speculate on why no reports on fetal tissue transfers have ever been filed.

Mary Kay Culp, executive director of Kansans for Life, said she didn’t believe anyone could say for sure whether it was happening in Kansas.

“I don’t know how you

would find out if you’re the state unless you had surprise and frequent inspections and you were looking specifically for it,” Culp said.

Julie Burkhart, founder and CEO of Trust Women, which operates a Wichita clinic that performs abortions, said it would not ignore any reporting requirement. She said doing so would harm the clinic, because “this is a politically hostile environment for us.”

“This is just somebody looking for a problem that’s nonexistent,” she said of Brownback’s call for an investigation.

While combing the archives for clips used with Thursday’s front-page story, “Hiroshima 70 years after the bomb: Local emotions on weapon of mass destruction still run high,” our digital editor Nick Gerik also found this headline, from Aug. 7: “HELPED ON BOMB? Many K. U. Men Away on Secret War Work May Have Aided” Ever the research university, Kansas University apparently was abuzz with talk about who among the ranks may have had a role in developing the bomb.

“None of the persons called away on secret work for the government has talked, but release by Washington of some of the places where research and production were carried forward indicates the probable connection of a number of K. U. people,” the article says.

The article names an assistant professor of physics who’d been on leave from KU for two years, a chemist who’d been at Chicago University for the past year and several former instructors and graduates working at a plant in Oak Ridge, Tenn. And friends of some Sunflower Ordnance Works employees mysteriously sent away on other government work had heard they were engaged in “something big” and “entirely secret,” the article says.

This old news clip — speculative as it was — was right about that physics professor and his group-mates.

The utility said that under the agreement, most households would see their electric bills rise between $5 and $7 a month.

Westar has nearly 700,000 customers in Kansas.

The deal involves all parties in Westar’s rate case before the KCC. The three-member commission still must sign off, and state law gives it until late October to decide.

helped develop the atomic bomb in World War II,” reads a 1997 New York Times news obituary on Barschall. Barschall spent most of his career at the University of Wisconsin, but prior, “In World War II, Dr. Barschall joined the team at Los Alamos, N.M., that developed the atomic bomb. On July 16, 1945, he helped monitor the shock wave from the first nuclear test, near White Sands.”

Road to Los Alamos In a fascinating autobiography by Barschall (titled “Reminiscences” and shared online via a teacher at Wisconsin), he talks about his time at KU and how he came to work on “U.S. Engineer Project ‘Y.’” Barschall’s challenges getting to Los Alamos included expediting the process of becoming a U.S. citizen (he was German), getting security clearance and — apparently — freeing himself from KU. “The worst problem was the University of Kansas, which opposed my departure violently, including threats to use the Local Draft Board.

At least the university finally promoted me from Instructor to Assistant Professor,” Barschall said in the document. “...I could not imagine the Secretary of War writing a letter on my behalf, but apparently such a letter was indeed sent, and on September 27 (1943) I was told I could leave.”

After the war, KU tried to get Barschall back, offering him a promotion to associate professor Creek nuclear power plant outside Burlington.

The utility also planned to spend $220 million over five years to upgrade its electrical grid.

Westar CEO Mark Ruelle said the agreement still will allow the company to make “limited investments” in its grid. The company estimated those investments at $50 million.

David Springe, the consumer board’s chief attorney, said the agreement is “a pretty decent deal” because Westar would have been allowed to boost its rates to recover the cost of power plant improvements anyway.

Westar had proposed increasing its basic monthly residential service charge from $12 to $15 this year, then to $27

by October 2019. Under the agreement, the charge would increase to $14.50

and a raise, he wrote.

But Barschall had other offers. “My experiences at Kansas in the months before my departure had left an unpleasant memory. The lack of experimental facilities and the lack of a research tradition were other disincentives.”

Ultimately — spurred in part by the promise that the larger of the accelerators used at Los Alamos would be shipped back to Wisconsin — Barschall took an assistant professorship there and was soon granted tenure.

Students on the team The old Journal-World article also said KU students Joseph Kennedy and Ernest Klema were working with Barschall.

Also correct.

Kennedy, who earned his master’s degree at KU, went on to head the chemistry and metallurgy division at Los Alamos, and co-discovered plutonium, according to his biography on the Atomic Heritage Foundation’s website.

Klema, a student of Barschall’s whom he discusses in his autobiography, completed his master’s degree at KU and went to Princeton University to get a doctorate when his project was transferred to Los Alamos. Klema had a career in academia and went on to become a dean at Tufts University, according to Tufts.

These are only a few of the scientists with KU ties who worked on the Manhattan Project — some of whom KU attracted to its faculty after the war, even as Barschall was heading elsewhere. They include Barschall’s student Seagondollar, Clark Eugene Bricker and William Argersinger, if you’re looking for a few names to Google on your own.

The agreement also postpones a decision on Westar’s proposal to revise special rates for customers who install solar panels. The company wanted to give them a choice in the future of paying a higher monthly service charge or an additional charge based on their peak electric use.

The company said the 300 customers with existing solar panels would not be affected and the changes would ensure that solar users pay their fair share for Westar’s system. But green energy advocates said the changes would eliminate incentives to install solar panels.

Under the agreement, the KCC would consider the issue in a separate case later.

Slow to act Kansas has scrapped its limit on ATM withdrawals for cash assistance recipients but not before drawing embarrassing attention to the state and its policies.

I

t has taken too long, but it’s good to see that a controversial $25 ATM withdrawal limit on cash assistance cards issued to Kansas families is officially off the books.

The Kansas Legislature gave the state Department for Children and Families authority back in June to dump or increase the ATM cap if that action was needed to prevent a loss of federal funds for the assistance program. Although the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services began asking questions about the policy soon after it was signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback last April, DCF officials still allowed the cap to go into effect as scheduled on July 1. The cap apparently was never enforced, but DCF officials said they couldn’t change the policy until they received guidance from federal officials.

That guidance apparently was deemed sufficient this week when a regional HHS official sent an email to DCF with a list of questions about the policy and a statement that the $25 limit appeared to violate federal law, which requires that people receiving assistance have adequate access to their funds. The email was sent on Monday; DCF announced on Tuesday that the cap would be eliminated.

The ATM cap was part of a broader bill supposedly aimed at trying to reduce fraud in a state assistance program called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. The bill also included a long list of things that state assistance money couldn’t be used for, including swimming pool admission, lottery tickets or vacation cruises. The list, which drew national attention was not only insulting but virtually unenforceable because there would be no way to trace cash expenditures on such items.

The main effect of the $25 ATM cap would have been to cause additional inconvenience and probably additional bank fees for the limited number of Kansans who still can qualify for TANF. Figures provided this week indicate about 15,000 Kansans receive TANF assistance; almost 74 percent of those are children.

Although much attention has been focused on the ATM cap, the part of the bill that probably will have a far greater impact for recipients was a reduction of the lifetime limit for TANF benefits. That limit previously had been 48 months, but was reduced to 36 months.

That’s well below the federal ceiling of 60 months.

Dropping the punitive and probably illegal cap on ATM withdrawals was the right thing to do, but it’s too bad Kansas officials couldn’t reach that conclusion before being backed into a corner by federal funders.

Progress seen in fight against ISIS Washington — The U.S. and its allies, after several years of missteps, finally seem to be framing a strategy for combating the Islamic State militarily in Syria, even as they continue to pursue a political settlement with Damascus.

The Syrian nightmare is far from over, and supporters of President Bashar alAssad continue to insist that the regime will survive the turmoil. But U.S. policy now appears to be working in tandem with Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, a rare alignment — although Iran remains a potential spoiler.

The biggest change is the U.S.-Turkish agreement on a plan for closing the Syrian border, with a safe zone tens of miles deep that will be secured mainly by Turkish troops. Officials believe this will cut off supplies for the Islamic State’s “capital” of Raqqa, while U.S. and Turkish warplanes pound the group’s fighters from air bases in Turkey.

The border gap that must be closed is a roughly 60-mile stretch from the Euphrates River to Kilis, north of Aleppo. The border area east of the Euphrates, around Kobane, has already been cleared by Syrian Kurdish forces from the “YPG” militia, operating with U.S. air support.

The U.S. has quietly warned Syria that it will repel any attack on the forces gathering for the assault on the Islamic State. That’s not the same as a formal “no-fly

“

The biggest change is the U.S.-Turkish agreement on a plan for closing the Syrian border, with a safe zone tens of miles deep that will be secured mainly by Turkish troops.” zone,” but it could become one if Assad’s air force strikes.

Despite Turkish misgivings, the U.S. will continue to provide air support when needed for “YPG” fighters, who the U.S. regards as crucial allies despite their political links with the “PKK,” a radical Kurdish group that Ankara would like to destroy.

A ground assault on Raqqa is still months away. The U.S. is mobilizing a local, tribal force of Syrian Kurds, Arabs and Turkmens that could eventually clear northeast Syria, with U.S. and coalition air support. At present, the U.S. has no plans to embed special operations forces with these fighters.

A U.S. effort to train a Syrian counterterror force also

continues under Maj. Gen. Michael Nagata, but slowly.

The first graduating class had just 54 Syrian recruits.

A second class with several hundred fighters is being trained, and nearly 6,000 Syrians are said to have volunteered — though that number could fall by more than two-thirds once vetting and training are completed.

On the southern front, along the Syrian-Jordanian border, pressure is also mounting. Here, the Syrian rebels have been trained in a covert program run by the CIA and Jordanian intelligence. They are said to control increasing territory south of Damascus, allowing the Jordanians to strike northeast toward Islamic State positions, and perhaps move to secure Damascus if the Assad regime should fall.

A dilemma for the U.S.-led coalition is whether to treat Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian al-Qaida affiliate, as a threat equal to the Islamic State.

The two terror groups are rivals and take regular potshots at each other in social media. Some U.S. counterterrorism officials see Nusra as a deadly long-term foe, in part because it is well organized and has deep roots in Syria. But many U.S. allies in the region — including Jordan, Qatar and even Israel — maintain quiet intelligence contacts with Nusra.

The new push in Syria comes as the Iraqi military seeks to retake Ramadi, which fell in May. U.S. of-

ficials hope Iraqi forces will regain control within the next several months. That would leave Fallujah as an Islamic State stronghold less than 40 miles west of Baghdad. The Fallujah front is manned by Shiite militias under Iranian control, complicating U.S. and Iraqi military planning.

The U.S. goal in Iraq, as in Syria, is to mobilize Sunni tribal forces, but this has been a slow roll. About 1,500 tribal fighters are now being trained at al-Taqaddum Air Base in Anbar province, and an additional 3,500 Sunni police are preparing to restore order in Ramadi once it’s cleared. But that’s a small force, and it suggests limited buy-in from Sunni leaders.

The Obama administration hopes the new military pressure in Syria will convince Assad to accept a political process that would lead to a change of leadership in Syria, if not a full change of regime. With Saudi Arabia and Russia both interested, this diplomatic track shows some promise.

A sign of the diplomatic ferment was a rumor this week from Damascus that Ali Mamlouk, Assad’s top intelligence chief, had just visited Saudi Arabia to explore a “rapprochement.”

That may portend an interlude of mixed talking and fighting with Damascus while the battle against the Islamic State accelerates.

Other deaths deserve attention There is no question that Cecil the lion’s killing is an outrage, and that it should be punished, but I wish we would spend a fraction of the attention we are paying to this story on other tragedies that go virtually unnoticed across the world, including in Cecil’s own country.

The death of Cecil, the lion that was apparently lured out of a national park in Zimbabwe and shot by an American dentist who paid $50,000 for the hunting experience, has been one of the world’s most watched stories since it was first reported on July 27. The hunter apparently first wounded the animal with an arrow, then tracked it for 40 hours and killed it with a rifle.

Hardly a day goes by without a new headline on Cecil’s life, the fate of his brother Jericho — whose reported killing by poachers shocked the world for a few hours, until it was found to be a false alarm — or Zimbabwe’s request for the extradition of the dentist, Dr. Walter Palmer, from the United States.

And, no doubt, it is a fascinating — and sad — story, which helps draw muchneeded attention on cruelty to animals. But there is also a valid argument to be made

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

In addition to the scant international attention to human rights abuses in Zimbabwe, we have heard very little in recent weeks about the conflict that has already claimed 220,000 lives in Syria …”

that, ironically, we are paying much more attention to the killing of a lion in Zimbabwe that to reports of human killings by Zimbabwe’s dictator, Robert Mugabe.

Mugabe, in addition to destroying his country’s economy, was prime minister at the time of the so-called 1983 Gukurahundi massacres, in which 20,000 people in Matabeleland in western Zimbabwe were killed. Ac-

cording to a recent report by historian Stuart Doran in the British daily The Guardian, new historical documents show that Mugabe “was the prime architect of wellplanned and systematically executed mass killings.”

In addition to the scant international attention to human rights abuses in Zimbabwe, we have heard very little in recent weeks about the conflict that has already claimed 220,000 lives in Syria, where ruler Bashar al-Assad has used chemical weapons against his own people. (Assad, by the way, has 18 million Google searches.)

We’ve also heard very little of the Cuban regime’s arrests of 674 peaceful opponents, which was reported by the Cuban Commission of Human Rights and National Reconciliation, or of the Venezuelan government’s ridiculous arguments to ban five opposition leaders from running in the Dec. 6 legislative elections.

But perhaps the biggest irony of the Cecil the lion story is that the shooting of a lion in Zimbabwe is drawing much more attention in the U.S. media than the 89 people who die from gun violence in the United States every day. Yes, you read well, 89 people a day — more than 32,000 a year

— die from gun violence in the United States, according to figures from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

My opinion: The media have a natural tendency to love celebrity tragedies, whether they focus on Michael Jackson, Lady Di or a well-known Zimbabwean lion. They are easier to relate to, and cheaper to cover, than mass killings in Zimbabwe, the civil war in Syria or civil rights abuses in Cuba or Venezuela.

Additionally, new technologies for “social listening” tools — algorithms that search social media to detect what chatter may soon be “trending” — may cause news organizations that use them to become even more prone to focus on Cecil-like stories.

Granted, not reporting a story like Cecil the lion’s is not an option. It certainly deserves world attention, and is interesting. But we would all benefit from at least equal attention to ongoing tragedies affecting human beings, whether they are victims of human rights abuses in Zimbabwe or of lax gun laws here in the United States.

A STORAGE CROP WORKSHOP IS SCHEDULED FROM 4 TO 7 P.M. AUG. 17 at Spring Creek Farm in Baldwin City. Farmers can extend their income-generating season without the difficulties of growing and harvesting in winter by considering storage crops. This traditional method of season extension takes advantage of the standard growing season but then involves storing crops in sheltered facilities and selling them throughout the winter. The cost of the workshop is $5.Visit kansasruralcenter.org to register.

THE LATE ALICE FOWLER IN 2012 HOLDS A QUILT made by her grandmother, Ethel Moore, in 1954.

The quilt has squares embroidered with circles that list the names of members of the First Regular Missionary Baptist Church, 1646 Vermont St. Katie Armitage of Lawrence says the quilt is an important piece of history now stored at KU and writes, “This quilt expresses the importance that quilt maker Ethel Moore placed on all members of her church community as she embroidered the names of many members on the squares that she pieced together to make the quilt. The quilt records the history of this church community from about 1900 to 1954, the year the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that school segregation was unconstitutional.”

U.S. elite commando units lack diversity Among Navy SEALs, only eight of 753 officers are black Tom Vanden Brook @tvandenbrook USA TODAY

Many of the Pentagon’s elite commando units — including the Navy SEALs — are overwhelmingly led and manned by white officers and enlisted troops, a concern at the highest levels of the military where officials have stressed the need to create more diverse forces to handle future threats.

Black officers and enlisted WASHINGTON

WHAT’S HAPPENING

ONLINE

troops are scarce in some special operations units in highest demand, according to data provided by the Pentagon to USA TODAY. For instance, eight of 753 SEAL officers are black, or 1%.

An expert at the Pentagon on the diversity of commando forces said the lack of minorities robs the military of skills it needs to win. “We don’t know where we will find ourselves in the future,” said Army Col. Michael Copenhaver, who has published a paper on diversity in special operating forces. “One thing is for sure: We will find ourselves around the globe. And around the globe you have different cultural backgrounds everywhere. Having that kind of a diverse force can only

increase your operational capability.”

Special operations forces, including SEALs and the Army’s Green Berets, are often the face of the American military in foreign hot spots where they rescue hostages, raid terrorist camps and train local troops. SEAL Team 6 famously raided Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan and killed him. As the military sheds conventional forces — the Army will pare 40,000 soldiers in the next few years — special opera-

tors’ ranks continue to be filled as demand for their unique capabilities remains high.

The diversity of special operating forces is closely held information. U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), which oversees all the services’ commandos, declined to provide data on the racial makeup of its forces. USA TODAY had to obtain that data from each service individually. The Marines did not produce the actual numbers of their special operations forces, only percentages.

SOCOM, based in Tampa, does not track that information on its nearly 70,000 civilian and military personnel, said Kenneth McGraw, a spokesman. Gen. Joseph Votel, SOCOM’s command-

er, declined to speak to USA TODAY for this story, said Col. Thomas Davis, another SOCOM spokesman.

Votel did address the issue last month at the Aspen Security Conference and stressed the need for diverse commando units, which operate in almost 90 countries. The average enlisted special operator is 29, married with two children and has deployed four to 10 times, Votel told the audience.

He didn’t say that most of them are white. “SOCOM needs diversity, we need people of color, we need men, we need women to help us solve the problems that we deal with today,” Votel said.

“So we need good people; men, women, people of all colors.”

CLEVELAND Donald Trump declined the chance to rule out a third-party presidential bid during a Thursday debate dominated by talk about the billionaire-turnedpolitical phenomenon who has become the GOP frontrunner.

“I will not make the pledge at this time,” Trump said when a moderator asked all ten Republican candidates if they would forgo an independent bid should they lose the nomination. He told a cheering crowd he would have to see who else the GOP picks before deciding whether to support him or her.

Trump’s rise shadowed a debate that also touched on contentious issues like immigration and government surveillance in counterterrorism investigations.

Defending his harsh comments about Mexican migrants, Trump told rival Jeb Bush that “we need to build a wall” and “we need to keep illegals out.”

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul immediately blasted Trump for refusing an invitation to rule out a third-party run, saying the outspoken billionaire is not a Republican and is “used to buying

GOP debate gets raucous in prime time

Trump won’t rule out 3rd-party bid, slams culture that’s too ‘politically correct’ politicians” from both parties.

John Kasich, who as governor of Ohio enjoyed a home court advantage in the Cleveland basketball arena, said Trump is “hitting a nerve in this country,” but his proposed solutions are questionable.

Trump, who blasted politicians and reporters throughout the debate, replied that he has given money to Paul.

Other Republican candidates, including Bush and Scott Walker, must decide whether — or how — to confront Trump, whose criticism of establishment politicians has rocketed him to the top of Republican polls. At one point during the proceedings Thursday, Trump said, “our politicians are stupid.”

One of the debate moderators, Megyn Kelly of Fox News, challenged about his comments regarding women. The billionaire, who flashed a peace sign as he ascended the stage, said the country has had a problem with being too “politically correct.”

Looking at Kelly, Trump said, “If you don’t like it, I’m sorry.”

In an earlier debate, GOP candidates who did not qualify for the prime-time session denounced Trump as a reality television celebrity who has only recently adopted conservative causes. Businesswoman Carly Fiorina said Trump has shifted positions on illegal immigration, health care, and abortion in recent years, and has been friendly

with both former president Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for next year’s Democratic nomination.

A first-time office seeker, Trump says voters are responding to him because professional politicians have been “all talk and no action.”

Fox News sponsored the event held at the arena where the Republicans will stage their nominating convention next year. The prime-time debate featured only the top ten finishers in a collection of polls compiled by Fox. Bush, the son and brother of previous presidents, also found himself on the defensive, saying he understands the concerns about dynastic politics and the prospects of a third Bush family member in the White House. “I’m going to have to earn this,” said Bush, a former Florida governor.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who also finished high in pre-debate polls, explained why he changed his mind and now opposes a path to citizenship for migrants who are in the country illegal. Also taking part in Thursday’s debate are former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Virtual exhibit displays mementos left at Vietnam wall Letters, photos, legs among collection Tyler Pager USA TODAY

HYATTSVILLE , MD.

A virtual exhibition launched Thursday gives the public an unprecedented look at the items visitors have left at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington over the past 30 years — letters, photographs, even prosthetic legs and a custom-made motorcycle.

Since the memorial was opened to the public in 1982, it

has become tradition for visitors to leave items at the base of the wall, a national monument that’s about 250 feet long. Each night, the National Park Service collects the objects; decades later, nearly 400,000 items are housed here in a massive warehouse.

The new virtual collection, which is hosted on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund’s website in a scrolling gallery, features images of roughly 500 items, and more will be added over time.

Viewers can click on individual items to learn details, such as when it was left and whether it’s connected to someone specific. If something is related to a veteran

whose name is on the wall, viewers can click to learn more about that person.

“One of the things that’s so unique about this collection is the fact that it says as much about the effect that the wall has on our vis-

itors as it does about Vietnam and the Vietnam era,” said Jason Bain, the senior collections curator for the memorial fund. “Visitors to the wall seem to have powerful, emotive, cathartic experiences.”

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund plans an education center, where 4,000 to 6,000 items will be on public display. The center, which will be underground near the wall on the National Mall, is likely to open in 2020.

One of the most well-known objects in the park service’s collection is a custom-made motorcycle. Left on Memorial Day in 1995 by Vietnam veterans from Wisconsin, the motorcycle was created to remember 37 soldiers from Wisconsin who were prisoners of war or missing in action.

The motorcycle features 37 dog tags and is hand-painted with scenes from Vietnam.

President calls on Congress to upgrade Voting Rights Act On 50th anniversary of law, Obama says it ‘has to be a priority’ Gregory Korte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President Obama marked the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act on Thursday by calling on Congress to update the law and urging people to register to vote.

“There are people of goodwill on both sides of the aisle who are willing to do it, but it keeps slipping as a priority,” Obama said.

“This has to be a priority. If this isn’t working, nothing’s working.”

The Supreme Court struck down a key provision of the act two years ago, ruling that jurisdictions with a history of discrim-

ination are no longer required to have voting changes preapproved by the Justice Department.

Obama pointed to battles at the state and local level, where voting rights groups challenged voter identification laws.

Wednesday, a federal appeals court ruled a Texas law is discriminatory and violates the act.

“There are almost no instances of people going to vote in someone else’s name. It turns out it’s just not a common crime,” Obama said. He urged states to restore early voting days that have been rolled back over the years.

He said voters have to do their part, and Americans need to focus not only on the laws but also on the “habits of citizenship.” He said he would proclaim Sept. 22 National Voter Registration Day. Obama discussed the landmark voting law at a national teleconfe-

“The head of the DNC seems to be taking it upon themselves to limit the number of debates that are held this year, and I think it’s a real mistake,” O’Malley said this week.

Republican National Committee spokeswoman Allison Moore said the relative lack of debates shows the Democratic Party “is clearly putting its thumb on the scale” for Clinton.

“It’s clearer than ever the Democrat Party wants nothing more than a coronation for Hillary Clinton,” Moore said.

These will be the first Democratic debates since 2008, when then-senator Barack Obama battled Clinton and others.

Diversity makes for more effective fighting force

Defense chief asks services to get more minorities to join Tom Vanden Brook @tvandenbrook USA TODAY

Defense Secretary Ashton Carter calls the need to diversify the armed forces a “continuing concern” and asked the services to find a way to fix the problem, said a senior Defense official with knowledge of the issue who was not authorized to speak publicly and insisted on anonymity.

The lack of diversity in special operations forces stems largely from the choices young recruits make when they join, not overt bias, the official said.

A paper by Army Col. Michael Copenhaver, written for the U.S. Army’s War College, makes a practical argument for greater diversity among special operations forces: “U.S. special operators have long acknowledged they face challenges mixing in with foreign populations because they look so American.”

CAROLYN KASTER, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Defense Secretary Ashton Carter says diversity is a “continuing concern.”

fields, the Navy’s small boat crews and Air Force loadmasters, have greater percentages of minority participation that are still below their representation in the military as a whole.

The Marines refused to provide how many special operators they have. Instead, they provided a pie chart showing their racial breakdown. Black officers and enlisted Marines make up about 1% of their special operations forces.

CAUSES FOR DIVERSITY LACK

THE STATE OF DIVERSITY

In general, the military has a much more diverse force than key components such as special operations. African Americans made up 17% of the 1.3 millionmember armed forces in 2013, according to a recent Pentagon report. Whites made up slightly more than 69%.

Diversity erodes with the breakdown from enlisted to officer ranks. Blacks make up 18.5% of the enlisted troops but only 9.4% of the officer corps. The lack of diversity becomes more evident the further up the ranks you climb. USA TODAY has reported that key commands in the Army and Air Force, the traditional stepping stones for senior leadership posts, are largely staffed by white officers.

Among special operators, the divide is especially stark. Each of the services provided data to USA TODAY. For the Navy SEALs, the problem extends beyond the officer

Of its enlisted men, 45 SEALs are black, or about 2% of the 2,242 members of its elite force. There are more SEALs — 99, or 4% of the enlisted force — who are Native Americans or Alaska natives.

Among Army Green Berets, 85% of 1,494 officers are white and 4.5% are black. The 5,947 enlisted Green Berets are 86% white and 5.4% black.

For the Air Force’s pararescue jumpers, highly trained airmen who search for missing troops, only one of 166 is black, or 0.6% of that force.

Other commando fields, including the Army’s civil affairs and psychological operations

“U.S. special operators have long acknowledged they face challenges mixing in with foreign populations because they look so American.”

Army Col. Michael Copenhaver

Some of the same forces that steer young African Americans from Army combat specialties such as infantry and artillery — the breeding ground for the service’s leadership — appear to be in play among special operators, the senior Defense official said.

To address the problem, the Army urges black officers to consider combat specialties, the official said. Promotion boards for officers give greater weight to diversity, and mentoring of minority officers is emphasized.

The lack of minorities in special operations fields can perpetuate itself, Copenhaver said. Many troops follow the lead of their parents into the services, what he calls “family lineage.” If there are few role models among commandos, fewer minority troops are apt to be drawn to the fields, he said.

To reverse the trend, the SEALs have had extensive outreach efforts into minority communities, Copenhaver said. At least for now, the data provided by the Navy show limited results of that effort.

Copenhaver said the military should focus its recruiting efforts on the capabilities it needs among special operators. Diversi-

ty will follow. For instance, recruiting experts in languages and cultures of the Middle East, Asia and Africa would alter the makeup of special operators.

“Let’s bring in a capability,” Copenhaver said. “Along with that, inherently you gain the diversity.”

The services will more actively recruit minority candidates for special operations forces, the senior official said. Pentagon leaders say greater diversity will improve core missions for commandos, including training of indigenous forces and civil affairs. Recruiters will look out for “extraordinarily adaptable” candidates.

CLASS TIMES TOO EARLY FOR TEENS Middle and high schoolers deprived of sleep, study says Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

Most teens start school too early in the morning, which deprives them of the sleep they need to learn and stay healthy, a new study says.

The American Academy of Pediatrics last year urged middle schools and high schools to start no earlier than 8:30 a.m. to allow teens — who are biologically programmed to stay up later than adults — to get the recommended 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep nightly.

But 83% of schools do start before 8:30 a.m., according to a study released Thursday by the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The average start time for 39,700 public middle schools, high schools and combined schools was 8:03 a.m., based on data from the 2011-12 school year.

School systems have debated whether to delay start times for years. “It makes absolutely no sense,” said physician M. Safwan Badr, a past president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. “You’re asking kids to learn math at a time their brains are not even awake.”

But many school officials have argued that starting later would make it more difficult to schedule after-school sporting events. “It’s

“You’re asking kids to learn math at a time their brains are not even awake.”

a logistical nightmare,” said Daniel Domenech, executive director of AASA, the School Superintendents Association.

He notes that early school start times are nothing new.

“This has been going on forever, and kids have been graduating from school and going on to college,” Domenech said.

Yet studies show that today’s teens are chronically sleep deprived, said Judith Owens, director of sleep medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital and lead author of the pediatric academy report. Adolescents who don’t get enough sleep are at higher risk for being overweight, depressed and using drugs, the CDC says.

CHINESE KIN DEMAND ‘TRUTH’ BEHIND MH370 Relatives’ anger flares after Malaysia links debris to missing jet Hannah Gardner

Special for USA TODAY

C

BEIJING

hinese relatives of passengers aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 reacted with anger and disbelief Thursday after Malaysia’s leader said a wing flap found on an Indian Ocean island was “conclusively” confirmed to be from the missing plane.

“They tell us nothing. From the beginning they have left us in the dark,” said Dai Shuqin, 62, who lost five family members aboard the plane. “This statement proves nothing, our relatives could still be out there.”

Following Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak’s announcement Wednesday, Paris Deputy Prosecutor Serge Mackowiak expressed slightly less certainty, citing a “strong supposition” that the flaperon found on a beach on Reunion Island on July 29 was part of the missing jetliner. The U.S. and Australia also stopped short of full confirmation.

The examination of the flaperon began in earnest Thursday at an aeronautical testing site near Toulouse in southern France. The Boeing 777 vanished March 8, 2014, after taking off from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, bound for Beijing with 239 people aboard.

Most of the victims were Chinese.

“We are all old,” Dai said. “Our bodies, our hearts, our eyes have also suffered this last year and a half. We can’t take it any more; we just want the truth.”

Speaking in Kuala Lumpur, Secretary of State John Kerry expressed his condolences to the families of the victims. “All the wounds have been opened again, all of the sorrow is felt even more intensely, and there are no words to express adequately our sense of loss and our sense of heartbreak to the families of the victims,” he said.

Festival will seek the bare truth Swiss town to allow nude performances in public spaces Helena Bachmann Special for USA TODAY

GENEVA When it comes to banking, the Swiss pride themselves on utter discretion. But in other areas, they are happy to reveal all.

Take a festival this month in Bienne, a historic city known as the home of famous watch brands like Omega, Tissot and Swatch.

Dozens of performers will take over the town’s pedestrian zones as far as a naked eye can see on Aug. 21. But they won’t be wearing fancy timepieces — or any other clothing, for that matter.

Billed by its organizers as “the world’s first naked event of its kind to be officially authorized,” the Body and Freedom Festival will expose — literally — actors performing in the buff.

The performers will bare all “to break the taboo of the naked body in public spaces,” the event’s organizer, local artist Thomas Zollinger, told USA TODAY. The weekend-long fest will feature a variety of naked scenes performed by Swiss and foreign actors. One American, New York artist Miru Kim, will take part.

Her role: sleeping in a bed wearing only her birthday suit.

The performers will bare all “to break the taboo of the naked body in public spaces,” the event’s organizer, local artist Thomas Zollinger, told USA TODAY. KEVIN FRAYER GETTY IMAGES

Malaysia said its team on the island had recovered other debris, including a window, seat cushions and some aluminum foil, which would be sent to French authorities for verification, the Associated Press and CNN reported.

However, a spokeswoman in the Paris prosecutor’s office who was not authorized to be named said there is no new airplane debris on the island, the AP reported. The Australian agency helping coordinate the search for the jetliner also said there was no indication of new airplane debris, CNN reported.

A number of reported sightings of debris since the plane went missing have turned out to be false alarms. Pings that were suspected to be coming from the black boxes in April last year were also found to be unconnected to the aircraft.

Starting Friday, France will deploy new air and maritime resources off Reunion Island in the

search for more wreckage from the plane.

Angry relatives gathered at the Beijing offices of Malaysia Airlines, demanding more information.

“This is what Malaysia always does: They confirmed one day and renew our hope, and then deny it and kill our dreams off. How could we believe them this time?

I only believe the French government,” said Li Yuehua, whose daughter Li Wenbo, 29, was aboard the aircraft.

Bao Lanfang, a Chinese relative of missing passengers on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, cries as she waits for information outside the airline’s office Thursday in Beijing.

Uninhibited members of the public will be able to participate by standing buck naked, of course, on the sidewalk and watching clothed passersby.

Zollinger does not expect any backlash. “Most people here are liberal, tolerant and open toward nudity,” he said. So are local officials, who contributed $20,000 of public funds to the event. The only condition is that naked performers stay clear of traffic so drivers won’t be distracted.

Zollinger noted a similar event would not be allowed — or subsidized by taxpayers — in the United States and other countries.

In Switzerland, laws are more lenient. The, um, penal code does not ban public nudity, as long as it is not indecent or disorderly. This right, with the constitutional guarantee of freedom of artistic expression, has enabled Zollinger to put on several smaller shows that featured nude performances.

As Zollinger and the other artists are preparing for the festival and fleshing out their acts, they — unlike the bankers — vow to keep nothing under wraps.

IN BRIEF POLICE ARREST SUSPECT IN LOUISIANA COP KILLING

Police found a suspected cop killer close to home Thursday, less than a day after he was accused of shooting an officer who answered a domestic-disturbance call.

In Jackson, Miss., officers had searched at least two Greyhound buses that arrived from Louisiana in a hunt for Grover D. Cannon, 27, accused of shooting a Shreveport police officer multiple times Wednesday night. Police were monitoring other buses; Greyhound has five buses daily from Shreveport to Jackson, some with intermediate stops.

But based on tips, Shreveport officers found Cannon less than a mile from where Officer Thomas LaValley, 29, was shot as he responded to a call of an armed man making threats toward a family member.

Cannon is being charged with first-degree murder. He also was

wanted for attempted second-degree murder in the July 15 shooting of Darren Williams, 45, Shreveport police Chief Willie Shaw said.

ATTORNEY GENERAL CHARGED IN GRAND JURY LEAK IN PA.

MOHAMED EL-SHAHED, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

A cargo ship crosses the “new” Suez Canal during its opening ceremony Thursday to commemorate the completion of Egypt’s $8.2 billion project to expand the waterway.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane, once a rising star in the state’s Democratic Party, was charged Thursday with leaking grand jury information and then lying under oath to hide her involvement.

Kane, 49, was charged with perjury, conspiracy, obstructing justice, official oppression and false swearing stemming from an investigation that began more than a year ago.

The investigation began after the Philadelphia Daily News published an article about allegations of misuse of funds by a former

NAACP official. The article included information from a 2009 grand jury probe into the official, who was never charged. In December, a state grand jury recommended that charges be brought against Kane for leaking the information. — John Bacon TYPHOON SOUDELOR SET TO RIP INTO TAIWAN FRIDAY

Company ‘thrilled’ as 11M sign up for trial Marco della Cava USA TODAY

One month after unveiling its new streaming-music service, Apple has locked in 11 million trial members, company executives told USA TODAY. “We’re thrilled with the numbers so far,” says Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of

Internet software and services, adding that of that sum, 2 million have opted for the more lucrative family plan at $14.99 a month for up to six people.

Apple Music, which launched June 30, costs $9.99 a month for individual access to 30 million songs as well as human-curation playlists and a live radio station.

There’s an initial free-trial period of three months. Assuming all the trial memberships are converted into paying customers come October, Apple would already boast half the paid memberships of

reigning streaming champ Spotify, which launched nearly a decade ago.

July also brought a fiscal highwater mark for the company’s App Store, which did a record $1.7 billion in transactions, “with particular momentum in China,” says Cue. That brings the total amount paid to app developers to $33 billion, up from $25 billion at the end of 2014.

Those bright numbers stand in contrast to the recent stumble of Apple’s normally high-flying stock (AAPL), which has fallen

some 14% off a $134.54 high on April 28, erasing nearly $115 billion in value. Investors are concerned that Apple’s lucrative smartphone business in the U.S. is reaching a saturation point, while the promise of a booming China market could be affected by growing handset competition in Asia.

The bulk of the $50 billion in revenue Apple posted at the end of the last quarter comes from hardware sales, namely iPhone and iPad. While revenues from app remain small by comparison,

clearly building that business could provide the company with steady profits as consumers increasingly live their lives through their smartphones.

By and large, Apple Music has gotten favorable reviews from the tech-set, with most of the criticisms anchored not to content but functionality.

Apple is rolling out a broad marketing campaign to promote Apple Music over the coming months as the trial period comes to an end, featuring billboard, TV and radio ads.

holster, or detaching handcuffs or a Taser from the smart belt.

The officer might also be wearing smart glasses. Each pair, which Motorola recently began field-testing along with the belt, is fitted with a tiny camera that allows the officer to transmit the images back to dispatchers. It would also take a photo of what the officer is looking at and send it to police headquarters. Dispatchers can also send the officer text messages that would display on the lenses.

Ackman sets sights on maker of Oreos, Ritz crackers Kevin McCoy and Kaja Whitehouse

@kmccoynyc, @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

Activist investor William Ackman’s hedge fund has amassed a $5.5 billion investment in Mondelez International, signaling that the maker of Oreo cookies, Ritz crackers and other popular snack brands could be a merger target.

Shares of Deerfield, Ill.-based Mondelez closed up 1.12% at $46.81 in Thursday trading after the announcement by Ackman’s New York-based Pershing Square Capital Management L.P. The hedge fund said it plans to notify the Securities and Ex-

change Commission that it has taken a 7.5% stake in Mondelez, including forward purchase contracts and call options.

“We welcome Pershing Square as investors,” Mondelez spokeswoman Valérie Moens said.

Pershing Square wants Mondelez CEO Irene Rosenfeld to improve dramatically the difference between the cost to sell a product and the revenue it produces, according to two people with detailed knowledge of the hedge fund’s plans.

They asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

Last year, Mondelez reported margins of roughly 12%. Amid pressure from Ackman’s fellow

William Ackman is open to a sale of Mondelez, said those familiar with the plans.

hedge fund investor Nelson Peltz, who became a Mondelez director in January 2014, Rosenfeld more recently vowed to target income margins of 15% to 16% by 2016.

But Pershing Square thinks

margins at Mondelez could move closer to the high teens and low 20s, one of the people familiar with the fund’s plans said.

With more than 1.6 billion shares outstanding as of July 24, Mondelez has an estimated market cap of nearly $75.6 billion.

That size could limit the players in another potential scenario — a corporate takeover.

Ackman is open to a sale of Mondelez, the people familiar with the hedge fund’s plans said.

Morningstar analyst Erin Lash theorized that billionaire investor Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway and Brazil private equity firm 3G Capital could emerge as suitors for Mondelez, either individually or as partners.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Matt Krantz USA TODAY

Ready for some more twisted Wall Street thinking? Good news for workers could be bad news for investors.

Investors are looking for solid job growth in the report due Friday. Non-farm payrolls are expected to show an increase of 225,000 jobs in July, a tad better than the 223,000 growth reported a month ago, says Bespoke Investment Group.

That’s great news if you are looking for a job. It’s not great news for investors. Why the disconnect? The better the jobgrowth picture looks, the more convinced investors are the Federal Reserve will get the guts to boost short-term interest rates.

And while investors are happy to see economic growth, they also

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

know fighting the Fed is often a losing battle. Investors’ complicated relationship with job growth is clear when you compare market reactions to job reports when they’re better or worse than expected. Over the past two years, non-farm payroll numbers have beaten expectations about half the time, Bespoke says. On those days, stocks have gained 0.16% on average on the news. But these market gains after better-than-expected jobs numbers have eroded over time.

The fear good job numbers means higher rates is overwhelming the fact the economy is good enough to give companies the courage to hire in the first place.

Stocks fell 0.1% in early June after the better-than-expected jobs report, Bespoke says. And stocks jumped 0.7% in early April and 1.4% in May when the jobs number came in worse than expected.

Caution ahead for electric car company stock

Q: Should I bail on Tesla stock?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Investing in shares of speculative, money-losing companies is great — when the momentum works in your favor. But when reality sets in — investors look for the exits.

Tesla is a classic “story stock,” a promising company led by a visionary CEO in Elon Musk with a relatively untapped market. Stocks such as Tesla catch the interest of people who might not have thought about investing before. But that’s the problem — the valuation can get stretched and create disappointing returns when the stock price races ahead of fundamentals.

Shares of the electric car company sank 10% Thursday to roughly $240 a share after business late Wednesday lowered guidance for the number of vehicles it expects to ship this year to as low at 50,000, down from 55,000. The company says it’s more about supply constraints than demand.

Tesla’s adjusted loss during the quarter of 48 cents a share was less than expected and revenue of $1.2 billion beat views by 2%. Analysts remain bullish, calling Tesla an “outperform” and saying shares will be worth $279.39 in 18 months — up 16% from current levels.

But it’s still a speculative stock. Research firm New Constructs says shares are trading much above the present value of expected future cash flows.

In CEO ‘pay ratio’ world, some salaries below employees’ Matt Krantz USA TODAY

Workers at most companies would readily trade their pay for the CEO’s. But that’s not the case at a few giant companies.

There are three CEOs in Standard & Poor’s 500 companies who were paid less than their company’s median employee pay, according to a USA TODAY analysis of CEO pay data from S&P Capital IQ and employee compensation from Glassdoor.com.

The so-called CEO “pay ratio” is getting great attention since the

JUSTIN SULLIVAN, GETTY IMAGES

Google’s Larry Page had a $1 salary, but his 43.9 million shares of the company earned him roughly $4 billion.

Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday approved a new rule that would force U.S. companies to spell out the gap between what CEOs are paid and

what the median employee receives. The rule could cause embarrassment for some companies and their boards considering CEOs are typically paid 216 times more than their employees. That’s up from a pay gap of just 20 times in the 1950s, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. There are even nine CEOs that made 800 times more than the median worker.

But there’s an opposite pay gap at some companies. Perhaps the most startling example is Google, which has had net income of more than $15 billion during the past 12 months by mining consumers’ online data and using that to sell lu-

crative online ads. Lawrence Page was paid $1 during the last fiscal year as the head of the company.

That pay is in stark contrast with the company’s relatively high median employee pay of $110,000 a year, says Glassdoor.com.

Organic food seller Whole Foods might be infamous for its “whole paycheck” prices, but CEO John Mackey isn’t reaping the rewards in his paycheck. He also was paid a buck last year while median pay reported by employees is $24,880. And then there’s Fossil’s long-time CEO Kosta Kartsotis — who was paid nothing last fiscal year — as employees

took in a median $35,240.

But don’t go feeling too sorry for these companies’ CEOs, since some have found wealth despite their relative low salaries. Page owns 43.9 million shares of the company — making him the largest single owner of Google, says S&P Capital IQ. Shares of Google have risen 16% over the past year, meaning the value of Page’s stock has soared roughly $4 billion during that time.

This analysis has some caveats, as companies aren’t required to disclose median employee pay yet.

Many caveats will be removed when rules mandate disclosures.

It’s wedding bells for Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux.

According to People and Us Weekly, the Hollywood couple pulled off the near-impossible: marrying in a private ceremony at their home on Wednesday night with few the wiser.

TMZ managed to get a few photos, showing outdoor table settings, a dance floor and a cake at the couple’s Bel Air mansion.

Their cake was topped with Muppet-like versions of the actors, according to TMZ. Us reports celeb guests included Lisa Kudrow, Howard Stern, Sia, Chelsea Handler, Jennifer Meyer, Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Ellen DeGeneres, Lake Bell, Scott Campbell and Terry Richardson.

How did the paparazzi favorites pull off a secret wedding? According to TMZ, a giant shed was built over the past week to hide all the furniture and party supplies, which were swiftly rolled out Wednesday afternoon.

Aniston, 46, and Theroux, who turns 44 on Monday, traveled in the same circle for years and began dating after shooting their 2012 comedy, Wanderlust.

A year and a half after falling for each other, Theroux popped the question (with an 8-carat dia-

This is the first marriage for

Understand coverage before purchasing homeowners warranty Linda a. ditch

Hometown Lawrence

Have you experienced the sense of relief when something breaks on your vehicle and you realize it is covered by the warranty? How would you like to have that same feeling when something goes wrong in your home?

Home warranty plans work in much the same way as a vehicle warranty, except this coverage applies to the systems and appliances in the home, such as a water heater, plumbing, refrigerator, dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, and air conditioning and heating systems. Each warranty company’s plan is different. For most, the homeowner can pick or choose what is covered, or opt to cover everything.

“A warranty is a good idea for homeowners who can’t absorb the cost of a major repair, such as a furnace going out,” Chris Earl from Stephens Real Estate said.

“Or for a first time homebuyer who is using all their resources to buy the house and couldn’t afford to replace the furnace.

However, if something comes up in the home inspection before closing, that issue will need to be dealt with first. It’s not covered by a warranty. The warranty only covers new problems.”

With a plan, if something that is covered breaks, the homeowner calls the warranty company to request service.

The company will call a local contracted service provider to make the repair. The key is to

call the warranty company first.

Otherwise the repair won’t be covered.

Also, the plan will not cover structural items typically handled by your homeowner’s insurance.

For example, the warranty will fix or replace a faulty hot water heater, but it will not cover any water damage from the malfunctioning water heater.

Some warranties also do not cover systems that have not been properly maintained, so be sure to read the agreement carefully before signing.

Earl noted, “The warranty companies have a network of service providers that fit their criteria. The homeowner won’t be in control of choosing the service provider or the timing

of the repair. Read the fine print of the warranty to know exactly what is covered.”

Home warranties can be purchased by home buyers, but sometimes sellers will get one as an added benefit to buying a house. Homeowners also may purchase plans even when they are not in the process of buying or selling a house. The cost for a warranty plan ranges between $250 and $700 per year, depending on how much is covered. Plus, there is typically a service fee charged each time a repair is made, usually between $50 and $100.

Beaty: ‘It’s great to be out there with those kids’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS RUNNING BACK COACH REGGIE MITCHELL HAS SOME FUN WITH DE’ANDRE MANN as the running backs work together during the first day of practice.

Already known for his energy, passion and unrelenting enthusiasm, first-year Kansas University football coach David Beaty on Thursday did his best to dwell in reality following the first official practice of the 2015 season.

Just moments after his team returned to the Anderson Family Football Complex by school bus from the practice fields west of Hoglund Ballpark, Beaty spoke with excitement in his tone but a measured pause in his voice about what he saw on Day 1.

“Man, you know, it’s one day,” Beaty said. “It was great to be out there with those kids. I know they’ve been chomping at the bit to get out there and we have, too.”

On the grass practice fields used during the Mark Mangino era and before because of the threat of extreme temperatures on the turf, Beaty and the Jayhawks did their

best to pick up where they left off at the end of spring practices while making sure to slowly and surely blend in the host of newcomers going through their first Big 12 practice.

“It’s not a big departure from spring because you’re trying to get people taught,” Beaty said. “We’ve got upwards of 33 new faces here and we’re trying to see who we’ve got and what they can do so we are a little bit in evaluation mode right now.”

Because of that, there were moments that Beaty wished went better. But when he was asked to name a few players who stood out on Day 1, the rookie head coach rattled off nearly 20 names, many of them wide receivers, his area of expertise as an assistant coach.

“I was pleased with the amount of reps that we got,” Beaty said. “I do think we’ve gotta get our energy level up.

I think our guys have to get used to the schedule a little bit. But I was pleased with Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C

KU target Ferguson gives Alabama a ‘10’ on visit

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Basketball notebook. ...

One of Kansas University’s top recruits broadcast part of his campus visit to Alabama for the world to see on Internet app Periscope (which is available off Twitter) on Thursday.

Terrance Ferguson, a 6-foot-6 senior shooting guard from Dallas who attended Prime Prep Academy last season, at one point was on his cell phone speaking with a reporter from an unnamed recruiting service.

“So far I’d give it a 10,” he said of his visit to Bama, which is believed to be neckand-neck with Kansas in the battle for the country’s No.

11-rated player according to Rivals.com.

“Everything is perfect around here. I’m having a great time here (including speaking with football coach Nick Saban). People around here are amazing,” Ferguson added.

Of first-year Crimson Tide coach Avery Johnson, who played and coached in the NBA, Ferguson said: “He can get me where I want to be at, the NBA. He has the power to do that.”

At one point, an Alabama assistant coach who was seated with Ferguson near the top of the Crimson Tide’s hoop arena, was asking Ferguson to show him how Periscope worked.

They also had a discussion about the food at a popular

barbecue restaurant in Tuscaloosa.

Of a timeframe for his decision, Ferguson said on Periscope: “I’m not sure. It’s up to my mother and my coach when I make my decision. I look forward to it but things change.”

He told Jayhawkslant. com he will visit KU for the Oct. 9 Late Night in the Phog. He also has had North Carolina, Texas, SMU, Louisville, Texas A&M and others on his list. l Porter has 10 on list: Michael Porter Jr., a 6-foot-8 junior small forward from Tolton Catholic in Columbia, Missouri, who is the No. 2 rated player in the recruiting Class of 2017, this week narrowed his

list of prospective colleges to 10. They are: KU, Missouri, Duke, Stanford, Kentucky, UCLA, Indiana, Virginia, Syracuse and Washington.

Porter’s younger brother, Jontay, recently committed to Washington, which could emerge as a darkhorse candidate.

Michael Porter, Sr., dad of Michael and Jontay, was a teammate of Washington coach Lorenzo Romar on an Athletes in Action team in college. Romar is Michael Jr.’s godfather.

Michael Porter Sr., is an assistant for Missouri’s Gregory Payan/AP File Photo women’s team.

COMMENTARY

Tebow’s confidence for return apparent

BOSTON RED SOX

BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Orlando Sentinel

Everyone from here to any impoverished country touched by his charitable charm knows that one of the greatest Florida Gators believes in a higher power.

He’d never say it like this, but running a close second must be Tim Tebow’s relentless faith in himself.

Because it looks as if Tebow — after two seasons in mothballs — has made it back to the NFL against all odds and insults.

And not as a TV analyst or a prayer-group leader or a trusted Patriots ball boy, but as a player.

It appears that Tebow will make the Philadelphia Eagles’ roster as at least their thirdteam quarterback.

Athletes are all about cultivating their “brand” or image today, whether they live it or not. Tebow has talked it and walked it beyond any sermon, following his own motivational and inspirational messages to reach the doorstep of this implausible comeback.

The fact that his revival as a backup’s backup hasn’t produced blaring Kardashianlike headlines and breathless TV helicopter reports might be because we’ve all finally collapsed from Tebow Fatigue.

Or that the mother of all his uplifting stories simply can’t find air time between the next NFL mess.

Tebow’s return is like a flower growing out of a sidewalk, a small miracle considering he has been universally lampooned and left for dead in the quarterback graveyard.

His last worthwhile stop was in New York in 2012. His Jets teammates echoed countless negative reviews, one rating him as “terrible” — all anonymously, of course.

Tebow was released by New England in the preseason the next year, but refused to take a knee — other than to pray.

Florida’s 2007 Heisman Trophy winner worked overtime on his much-maligned mechanics between appearances on the SEC Network as an analyst and Good Morning America as a contributor.

All Tebow needed was one out-of-the-box-thinking NFL coach who would give his unorthodox style and polarizing personality a chance.

Chip Kelly is so far out of the box that he’s in another time zone.

Long an admirer of Tebow, Kelly signed him in April — and not to play tight end or linebacker.

“He’s a quarterback,” said Kelly, lauding Tebow’s improvement as a passer. “That’s how we’re looking at Timmy.

We’re not looking at him at any other position.”

Tebow is listed as third on the Eagles’ depth chart behind starter Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez but in front of Matt Barkley. It’s not exactly a Mount Rushmore of quarterbacks.

Kelly has become the league’s mad scientist. Trading productive and popular players such as LeSean McCoy and Nick Foles, he also has become its lightning rod for controversy, making Tebow look like a wallflower.

There have been reports that Kelly has put Barkley on the trade block or will release him, clearing a spot for Tebow.

Maybe Tim will even do more than doodle on a clipboard.

“Tim Tebow is going to shock a lot of people, because he is going to make the team,” Eagles linebacker Brandon Graham told a Philadelphia radio station. “And I think he will play a lot.”

DANNY LEE HITS FROM THE 10TH FAIRWAY DURING the opening round of the Bridgestone Invitational on Thursday in Akron, Ohio. Lee fired a 5-under 65 for a one-stroke lead.

McDowell trails Lee by one at Bridgestone Akron, Ohio — Graeme McDowell and Jordan Spieth were in good spirits Thursday at the Bridgestone Invitational, which was good news for only one of them.

McDowell has been in such a rut that he has fallen out of the top 50 for the first time in five years and hasn’t finished in the top 10 in America since playing this World Golf Championship a year ago. So he happily went along at Firestone South making five birdies in 10 holes on his way to a 4-under 66.

That left him one shot behind Danny Lee, who got his mistakes out of the way early and played a flawless front nine to lead the first round with a 65.

“I like this version of me today,” McDowell said. “It’s been a rough year, no doubt about it.

Definitely been some time for reflection and some questions being asked of myself. It’s how you answer the questions and how you come out the other side, really.

“I feel like I’ll know what to do when I get back there, but it’s all about the process of getting there now,” he said. “So days like today will certainly help in that direction. I’ve got to keep doing it.”

Spieth was playing for the first time since he missed the British Open playoff by one shot, ending his bid at the Grand Slam. He expected a little rust. What concerned him was a sloppy start that was missing some of his fire. Walking up the fourth fairway, he said he told his caddie, “I need to get a little bit inspired right now.”

He made a bogey on par-5 second hole, the easiest at Firestone. His shot from the rough on No. 3 clipped some branches, and for a minute Spieth thought it might go in the water and lead to double bogey. It barely made the green and he got par.

“I’m staring at 3 over through three, trying to bounce back on a course that could host a major championship,” Spieth said. “I played these first three holes and it didn’t bother me.

And that should normally bother me the way I played them.”

He made birdie on the next hole and a birdie on the final hole and shot 70. So did his playing partner, British Open champion Zach Johnson, in a pairing of the major champions this year.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland was 10 strokes off the leading after opening with a 5-over 75.

GOLF

McIlroy eyes PGA return Akron, Ohio — Rory McIlroy posted two videos on Instagram that suggest he might be able to return for the PGA Championship.

The world’s No. 1 player is in the field for the year’s final major next week at Whistling Straits, and he will be listed in the tee times released today. That’s common practice for the majors, and McIlroy does not have to decide whether he plays until his tee time at the start of the championship.

McIlroy has not played since he finished fourth in the U.S. Open. He ruptured ligaments in his left ankle while playing soccer with friends in Northern Ireland.

KC’s Espinoza injured Kansas City, Kan. — Sporting Kansas City midfielder Roger Espinoza fractured a bone in his left leg while getting tackled in a 1-1 draw with the Houston Dynamo and is expected to miss at least 10 weeks.

To help absorb his loss, the club signed 21year midfielder Jordi Quintilla on Thursday.

Espinoza, who has started 20 matches for the club across all competitions, was tackled

Browns LB to have surgery Berea, Ohio — Barkevious Mingo has been knocked down by another injury.

The Browns’ linebacker is scheduled undergo arthroscopic surgery on torn meniscus in his right knee, the latest medical issue for the former first-round pick whose brief career has been slowed by injuries.

Peterson finishes probation Mankato, Minn. — The attorney for Adrian Peterson says the Minnesota Vikings running back is off probation early for injuring his 4-year-old son.

Rusty Hardin says Peterson finished onethird of his probation and its terms, which allowed him to apply for early termination. Peterson is done with probation nine months after he pleaded no contest to recklessly injuring his son by striking him with a wooden switch.

Hardin told the Star Tribune a judge in Texas agreed that Peterson fulfilled the requirements of his probation and signed the early termination order late last week.

Peterson’s probation also included 80 hours of community service, a $4,000 fine and counseling. Peterson has rejoined the Vikings at training camp in Mankato after playing only the first game of the 2014 season.

Tigers rally in ninth to hand Royals 8-6 loss Detroit (ap) — The Kansas City Royals have a nine-game lead in the AL Central and would need a massive collapse to miss the postseason.

Manager Ned Yost doesn’t want to even let that get close.

The Royals rallied from 6-3 down in the seventh to tie the Detroit Tigers on Thursday, but lost on Ian Kinsler’s tworun homer in the ninth.

Kansas City has lost six of eight to finish a 4-6 trip.

“It is always disappointing to lose a series, and this is two of them,” Yost said. “What’s done is done, but this is disappointing.”

Kinsler finished the game in dramatic fashion, hitting a two-run homer off Ryan Madson in the ninth inning, but he was part of two earlier plays that might have been equally important.

In both the third and fifth innings, Kinsler hit ground balls to the left side of the infield that looked like inning-ending double plays. That would be nothing new for the Tigers, who came into the game having grounded into 110 double plays, 14 more than any other major league team.

Aided by takeout slides from Jose Iglesias and Anthony Gose, Kinsler was able to beat both out. Each time, Victor Martinez followed with a homer — a three-run shot in the third and a two-run homer in the fifth.

“The first one was a tough play,” Yost said.

“The second one, we should have turned, and that cost us runs.”

Martinez hadn’t homered since July 17 and hadn’t had a multi-homer game since hitting two for Boston against Toronto on Sept. 17, 2010.

“That felt great,” he said. “Not just for me, but for this whole team.”

The Royals tied it with a three-run seventh.

Drew Butera led off with a homer, and Kendrys Morales had a two-run double.

Instead, Iglesias led off the ninth with a single off Madson (1-2) before Kinsler hit a 2-0 fastball into the bullpen in left field.

“I don’t know where that pitch ended up,” Madson said. “It was supposed to be a sinker, but it wasn’t where I wanted it.”

Alex Wilson (2-3) got the win after getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth.

The game was delayed for several minutes in the eighth inning when a squirrel ran around on the field. It briefly ended up in the Tigers’ dugout, then raced into left field.

“Usually, I have a BB gun to deal with squirrels, but I was trying to catch this one with a trash can,” Alex Avila said about the squirrel’s time in the dugout. “The problem was that I was pretty sure that I wasn’t going to be able to lure it in there with my charm and good looks.”

When the squirrel arrived, the Tigers had runners on the corners and

in his USA Today blog that he speaks with No. 2-ranked Harry Giles “a couple times a day.

That’s my best friend and we’ve talked about playing together for a while so I’m just staying on him.”

Giles, 6-10 senior from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, is down to Duke, Kansas University, Kentucky, Wake Forest and North Carolina.

“I’m still trying to get Dennis too! He’s another guy that I’ve talked to for a while about playing together so we’ll see

two out, but Anthony Gose struck out after it made its way to the outfield.

“I didn’t want any part of that squirrel,” said Rajai Davis, who got a close encounter with it as it hung out near third base.

“I just tried to stay still and not draw any attention to myself.”

Trainer’s room Royals: With a day game after a night game, Alex Gordon had a quiet day in his recovery from a groin strain. Gordon took batting practice off soft tosses Wednesday and hopes to return by the end of the month.

Tigers: Although 1B Miguel Cabrera (calf strain) was told by the team to take his time recovering from injury, now that the Tigers are out of the postseason race, manager Brad Ausmus said he thinks Cabrera could be back in the lineup by the end of the month — about two weeks later than earlier hoped.

Up next Kansas City returns home for a weekend series with the White Sox.

what happens with everything,” the 6-8 Tatum added in his blog, referring to No. 4-ranked Dennis Smith, a 6-2 senior point guard from Trinity Christian in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Smith has a final list of Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, N.C. State, Wake Forest and Louisville.

“Honestly, I’m going after everyone that Duke has offered! I want to win a national title!” Tatum wrote. l Bamba lists KU: Mohamed Bamba, a 6-11, 205-pound junior center

from Westtown School in Harlem, New York, who is ranked No. 4 in the Class of 2017, has been offered scholarships by KU, Duke, Arizona, Kentucky, Maryland, Villanova, St. John’s and others.

“I want to go to a school where I feel at home,” Bamba told Rivals.com.

“Somewhere where, if I don’t go to the league straight away, I can stay for four years…I just want to go to a school where I feel comfortable enough and that’s about more than just basketball to help me progress to become a young man.”

Quarterback top issue at Texas Austin, Texas (ap) — Quarterback play was a big problem for Texas last season and remains the biggest issue that needs to be resolved.

The Longhorns opened training camp Thursday with the focus on last season’s starter, Tyrone Swoopes, and his battle for the job with redshirt freshman Jerrod Heard.

And coach Charlie Strong promised both will play in the opener at Notre Dame.

“Whichever guy wins the team will be the quarterback. I don’t know who’s going to start, but both of them will play in the Notre Dame game,” Strong said.

But Strong insisted it won’t be a “musical chairs” situation of constantly rotating the two as Texas.

One of them should emerge as the clear starter for the game, Strong said, but both will get on the field at some point.

Swoopes, who signed with Texas as one of the top-rated quarterbacks in the country coming out of high school, struggled all last season as the Longhorns finished 6-7.

Two of his worst games came at the end when he had five turnovers against TCU and Texas managed just 59

total yards in a bowl loss to Arkansas. Swoopes passed for 13 touchdowns with 11 interceptions and had several key fumbles.

Yet he remains confident he’s the guy to help Texas return to prominence in the Big 12.

The Longhorns haven’t won the league crown since 2009 and are not expected to contend this year.

“I know I’m a lot better than what I played last year,” Swoopes said.

Heard may get a boost from Texas’ revamped offense, that will rely less on the power running game Texas couldn’t establish last year and move to more of a spread.

Heard won two state high school championships running a spread offense and Texas would love to duplicate the success TCU had with a similar change last season.

Strong’s first season began with a series of suspensions after a rash of arrests and team rules violations. This one began with a misdemeanor theft charge against reserve offensive lineman Terrell Cuney. One of Strong’s “core values” for his team is no stealing.

Cuney will be allowed to practice but said “he’s got some things to work on,” suggesting he will be disciplined.

the anxiousness they had all day. They couldn’t wait to get out there.”

For Beaty himself, the first official practice of his first season as a college head coach carried a couple of different emotions.

“There’s not a day that I walk in this place that I don’t thank God for that opportunity,” he said. “I mean, it’s humbling. I take it very seriously and it’s something that I’m very, very honored and proud to be a part of. So today was emotional when I first stepped across that line but they hired me to do a job so the deal was to get focused and get out there and let’s get going and have some fun. We took a first step today.”

A big, and possibly the best, part of that first step was simply the idea of getting reps on film for the

players to watch. Beaty noted what an incredible advantage technology is these days, with the players able to get their individual practice cut-ups on their phones or iPads within 30 minutes of the end of practice.

And Beaty believes that film work along with the proper mindset and maximum effort from every coach and all 105 players will help his Jayhawks go the direction he hopes they can go.

“They’re a different mental team than they were in the spring and, man, we needed it,” said Beaty, lauding the work of strength coach Je’Ney Jackson and his staff this summer. “Our goal is to get a little bit better every day, make sure we go forward, let’s just don’t go backwards. If we do that, we’ll make progress that we’re proud of. It’s just one day. That’s all it is.

Tomorrow, the challenge is to be able to make it better.”

BRIEFLY Three Jayhawks named All-Big 12 Each of the three Kansas University volleyball players on the Preseason All-Big 12 Team are accustomed to the spotlight.

Junior Tayler Soucie and sophomores Ainise Havili and Kelsie Payne — all of whom were all-conference selections in 2014 — were recognized Thursday.

Kansas will open its 2015 season on August 28 against Army in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The Jayhawks are coming off of a 22-9 campaign in 2014 and their second-straight second-place finish in the Big 12.

“Those three represent a lot of talent that we have coming back,” head coach Ray Bechard said.

“Beyond that, it speaks to the balance that I think our team will have. It’s relevant that these three received this recognition, but it will be much more relevant when the season is over and the votes are taken then. We have a roster where there could be others added to that list also.”

Soucie led the Big 12 in blocks per set (1.40) in 2014 just one year after breaking the KU record for total blocks in a freshman season (135). Not just a defensive standout, Soucie starts the 2015 season with the Jayhawks’ best alltime career attack percentage (.333). The Osawatomie native was named to the All-Big 12 First Team last year and has now made the Preseason All-Big 12 Team in each of the last two seasons.

Bechard and his staff made the decision to move sophomore Payne from middle blocker to right side in 2015. Payne was a vital piece of the Jayhawks’ success in 2014, hitting .341 for the year with more than two kills (2.05) and one block (1.06) per set.

Havili earned AVCA AllAmerica Honorable Mention honors in 2014 along with Big 12 All-Freshman Team recognition after playing every set of her rookie campaign. She broke the KU freshman record for assists (1,332), which also happened to lead every setter in the conference. Still going, she averaged more

than 2.5 digs per set, totaled 50 blocks and led the team in service aces (33).

The Fort Worth, Texas, native was named All-Big 12 Honorable Mention and to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team. She was also the 2014 Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year.

KU’s Miller 37th in 200-meter IM Kansas University swimmer Chelsie Miller lowered her Olympic Trials time in the 200-meter IM and moved up 10 spots from her seeded position at the 2016 Phillips 66 National Championships with a runner-up finish in her heat and 37th-place overall.

Miller, who swam a 2:17.68 earlier this summer at Speedo Sectionals in Athens, Georgia, trimmed nearly four-tenths of a second off her time Thursday to finish second in 2:17.34 behind Texas A&M’s Lisa Bratton in heat 10 at Northside Swim Center.

Madisyn Cox, of Texas, turned in the fastest time in prelims with a 2:11.61.

Lawrence native Emma Reaney, a Notre Dame swimmer with whom Miller trained at SwimMAC in Charlotte this summer, finished 22nd in the field of 108 entrants with a time of 2:16.08.

Levonowich shoots even par Former Kansas University women’s golfer Minami Levonowich shot an even-par 72 Thursday on the Palmer Course at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California, in her first round of Stage I of the LPGA and Symetra Tour Qualifying School.

Playing as an amateur, Levonowich is tied for 31st in a field of 288 golfers attempting to qualify for the women’s professional tours. The field will continue its second round of four, 72 holes total, on Friday with the top 60 finishers from Stage I advancing to Stage II which will be held in Venice, Florida, Oct. 25-27. Stage III, the final stage, will be played in early December in Daytona Beach, Florida.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Greinke packs punch Cubs 5, Giants 4 Chicago — Rookie bopper Kyle Schwarber homered in his second consecutive game, and Chicago beat San Francisco.

The Cubs, playing meaningful baseball in August for the first time in years, won for the seventh time in eight games.

They also moved a halfgame ahead of the Giants in the race for the second NL wild card.

The Associated Press

National League Dodgers 10, Phillies 8 Philadelphia — Zack Greinke was 3 for 3 with a homer to offset his worst start in three years, and Los Angeles beat Philadelphia on Thursday.

Greinke (11-2) allowed five runs before recording an out and finished with six runs allowed and seven hits in six innings.

But he helped himself at the plate, and Adrian Gonzalez hit a three-run homer to pace the NL West-leading Dodgers.

The six runs equaled the total Greinke gave up in his previous nine starts combined. He had a scoreless streak of 452⁄3 innings during that span.

Greinke hadn’t allowed six earned runs since Aug. 19, 2012 when he gave up six for the Angels at Tampa Bay. Greinke’s ERA rose from 1.41 to 1.71. His batting average went from .170 to .220.

Domonic Brown hit a three-run homer for the Phillies, who lost their first series since the AllStar break. They’re 13-5 since the break but still have the worst record in the majors at 42-67.

Cardinals 3, Reds 0 Cincinnati — Michael Wacha gave the Cardinals’ tired bullpen a respite by throwing seven innings in the rain, and St. Louis pulled away to a victory over Cincinnati, taking yet another series from its NL Central rival.

The Cardinals improved to 30 games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2013 season. They have the best record in the major leagues at 69-39.

They took two of three in Cincinnati and have won 15 of their last 18 series together. The Reds were shut out for the last 18 innings.

LOS ANGELES’ ZACK GREINKE rounds the bases past Philadelphia second baseman Cesar Hernandez after hitting a home run. The Dodgers defeated the Phillies, 10-8, on Thursday in Philadelphia.

Brewers 7, Padres 1 Milwaukee — Khris Davis hit two three-run homers, Matt Garza limited San Diego to two hits in seven innings, and Milwaukee beat the Padres.

Davis homered for the first time since July 18, connecting off Padres starter Odrisamer Despaigne (5-8) in the third — a shot into the San Diego bullpen that made it 4-0.

Davis also homered off Kevin Quackenbush in the eighth.

Garza (6-12) walked two and struck out five in his first victory in three starts. He avoided joining teammate Kyle Lohse as the only 13-game losers in the majors.

Garza gave up a single to Derek Norris in the second and then nothing more until Melvin Upton Jr. hit a home run in the fifth. Garza retired the next seven batters and left with a 7-1 lead.

Mother in denial simply seeks to comfort herself Dear Annie: About three years ago, I looked at a solar eclipse.

I thought it would last only a minute and, not wanting to miss it, I ran outside and squinted at it through my sunglasses. I can only blame myself for that.

The next days and weeks were some of the scariest of my life.

My vision became blurry and I had a hard time focusing. I feared I might not recover my sight. Thankfully, my vision gradually recovered, but one thing about this episode has left me deeply troubled.

When I thought I would be permanently blinded, I needed love and support. However, my mother quickly became convinced I was faking it. She insisted none of it was real, it was all in my head. It was frustrating and

confusing. Why would she take a position that could only hurt our relationship?

Last week, during an eye exam, the doctor diagnosed me with a textbook case of solar maculopathy. I passed this confirmation along to my mother, but even now, she won’t acknowledge how wrong, and cruel her denial and indifference were.

In my right eye, I have a dark spot that follows wherever I

‘Resources’ misses older generation “Human Resources” (10 p.m., Pivot) returns for a second season. For the uninitiated, the show is a documentary-style comedy that follows the many employees of an actual cuttingedge waste-management firm in Trenton, N. J. TerraCycle is out to create specific boxes for every conceivable form of waste. It has developed a container for your coffee pods, your ear buds and even your hair. With a lab on the premises of its headquarters, a funky, graffitidecorated warehouse in an industrial park, TerraCycle comes up with ways to melt down and repurpose all kinds of plastics, synthetics, metals and more organic elements. ‘‘Resources” divides its attention between the ongoing science and technology of TerraCycle and the very low-key shenanigans of its staff. The company also seems to have found a way to recycle anybody over 35 years old, keeping the series very much in Pivot’s desired demographic.

Not unlike “The Office,” the conversations here are just about everything but getting work done. But because TerraCycle is a real company and this is really its staff, it’s an “Office” where the goals of Dunder Mifflin actually matter.

A sales associate arrives from Canada and spends a lot of time auditioning for the company’s trivia team and grooming his beard. The lack of generational diversity robs the series of opportunities for misunderstandings and tension between more buttoned-down older types and these strenuously mellow employees. There’s no Bill Lumbergh, the Gary Cole character from the 1999 movie “Office Space,” to play the passive-aggressive heel. The sheer size of the staff keeps the focus off any one particular melodrama, and the characterizations lack the vicious parody of “Portlandia.”

Goofy and genial, “Resources” could be watched as a slightly offbeat industrial film — a bit of corporate propaganda for a new approach to recycling. Humor, it seems, is only an occasional byproduct.

Tonight’s other highlights

August is TCM’s “Summer Under the Stars,” celebrating one star each day with a 24hour marathon of his or her films. Today’s subject, Katharine Hepburn, appears on a “Dick Cavett Show” (5:45 p.m.) interview from 1973.

Candid cameras capture strangers mulling ethical dilemmas on “What Would You Do?” (8 p.m., ABC).

Britain’s spy agency goes under the microscope on “Mysteries at the Monument” (8 p.m., Travel).

A motley crew takes shelter from a toxic downpour on “Killjoys” (8 p.m., Syfy).

look. I’ve grown used to it, but it is a constant reminder of this troubling episode. Am I wrong to continue feeling hurt? Or does this reveal something about our relationship and her moral character? — S. Dear S.: Denial is a very powerful emotion.

It allows your mother to refuse to believe you have a serious problem and what it could mean to your future.

She needed comfort, too, and this is where she found it. Is Mom’s behavior toward you otherwise close and loving? If so, we would put this in the past.

Continuing to dwell on the hurt will only make you bitter.

Dear Annie: I’d like to comment further on the letter from “Shepherdsville, Ky.,” regarding poor grammar.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Aug. 7: This year you have the ability to make a strong impression on others. Your public persona is very powerful. If you are single, you could meet someone who makes a wonderful companion. If you are attached, the two of you might make a point of re-enacting your best moments together.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You will be more detailoriented than you have been in a while. Try not to become too serious. Tonight: Treat a friend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You have a lot to do before you can really kick into weekend mode. Recognize that a loved one might be in a gloomy mood. Tonight: All smiles.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You will want to review a recent action that might not have gone the way you wanted.

Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Your friends often come to you for advice. You’ll discover how different people are.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You could see a matter from a very different perspective than the majority. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

My pet peeves are those who say “pitcher” for “picture.” In Wisconsin, numerous individuals say “youse guys” instead of “you guys” and “liberry” for “library.” It also irks me when my husband and I are at a restaurant and the server asks, “What can I get for you guys?”

I am not a guy.

I am far from perfect, but I find these things very annoying. And I, too, feel better now after venting. — Miss Picky in Wisconsin Dear Wisconsin: You’re welcome. Some people are more bothered by small, trivial irritations than others, so we’re happy to help when you need to let off a little steam.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have a way of drawing others toward you. Know when to let down your barriers. Tonight: Go stargazing with a friend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) One-on-one relating allows you to be more flexible and forthright. Listen to your inner voice. Tonight: Enjoy company.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might feel the need to be in control; however, letting go might be the best way today.

Tonight: Listen to someone else’s thoughts.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your perspective improves, as does your ability to detach. You might be overwhelmed by how differently problems look.

Tonight: Take off as soon as you can.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You know what you would like to happen. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Make the most of the weekend!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others seem to dominate, and your voice might be drowned out. You have been carrying a heavy burden. Tonight: Make a must appearance.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a lot to communicate, but you can’t seem to get past a problem. Remain optimistic. Tonight: Say “yes.”
