Plans to build home in rural Douglas County starting this fall

Ex-mayor pays back $1,148 for personal expenses on city card

By Conrad Swanson

Twitter: @conrad_swanson

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and some Douglas County residents opposed to a specialty meat shop near Lecompton are reviewing their options after county commissioners granted a conditional use permit for the venture.

Wednesday night, commissioners unanimously approved Lawrence chef Brian Strecker’s permit application to build a 640-squarefoot shop called The Burning Barrel on a 30acre plot of land at 292 North 2100 Kobach Road.

Kobach, who owns a onebedroom structure on 160 acres of land near the future business, was one of more than a dozen people who spoke out against the meat shop at Wednesday’s meeting. His structure, which he described as a “metal building,” has been the subject of some recent controversy surrounding county code enforcement.

Though he was both surprised and displeased by commissioners’ decision, Kobach told the JournalWorld Thursday, he and other critics of the project have no specific plans to appeal the outcome.

“Residents in the area are still talking about what, if anything, can be done,” Kobach said. “But there are no definite plans to do anything Please see KOBACH, page 2A

City sifts Farmer’s receipts Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Former Lawrence Mayor Jeremy Farmer used a city-issued credit card to pay for about $1,100 of personal expenses, but repaid the city just prior to resigning his position Wednesday, city officials have announced.

Farmer reimbursed the city for items that included purchases at Dick’s Sporting Goods, at a movie theater, airline tickets and other items Farmer after interim City Manager Diane Stoddard asked for an explanation of the charges. Stoddard said city staff members closely monitor city credit card usage and routinely reconcile credit card accounts.

“Our processes had identified that we had some irregular charges there,” Stoddard said. “As we learned of the charges, we visited with him and his reasons for those.”

100 tons scooped from Potter Lake An aquatic plant harvester, brought in from Georgia, sweeps up lilies and other plants Wednesday from Potter Lake on Kansas University’s campus. The harvester removed about 100 tons of wet plants from the lake over two days.

The plants otherwise would have decayed over winter and settled on the lake bottom, according to Stan Loeb, environmental specialist for KU. See the video at LJWorld.com/lakecleanup

The fate of Just Food, the largest food pantry in Douglas County, remained largely unknown Thursday.

Jeremy Farmer, the executive director of Just Food, resigned on Monday after it was discovered that he had failed to pay about $50,000 in federal payroll taxes for the nonprofit.

On Wednesday, Farmer, 31, also resigned as mayor of Lawrence.

Board members of Just Food who were Henderson contacted Thursday said the board had decided that all questions about Just Food must go to Kristi Henderson, who is the president of the board and also the director of communications for Kansas University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Henderson said in an email late Thursday afternoon that the board Please see FUTURE, page 6A

Farmer provided the city checks totaling $1,148.85 on Tuesday, and also wrote a memo to city staff members and commissioners explaining that he used the city’s credit card to pay for some personal expenses because his personal credit cards on two separate occasions had been “compromised.”

In the memo, Farmer said he thought this was an acceptable practice because he had done so in the past when David Corliss had served as the city manager.

“Since this time, Diane Stoddard has advised that this is not something that is acceptable per our travel policy, which I received a copy of just a few weeks ago,” Farmer wrote in the memo.

Stoddard said she believes there was only one other instance where Farmer used a city credit card for a purpose that required him to reimburse the city. She said he attended a city meeting in Los Angeles last year where part of his hotel bill included charges for alcohol. The city’s policy does not allow for city funds to be used to pay for alcohol as part of a business trip. Stoddard said Farmer reimbursed the city for those charges, but she is unaware of other instances where Farmer used the card for personal expenses prior to this recent episode.

She said the city’s financial staff routinely looks for such charges.

“I think our staff has been extremely diligent on this matter,” Stoddard said. “We understood it of the first book takes place on a spaceship carrying humans and aliens through a galaxy dominated by a federation of aliens. The ship’s riders set out to find a transcendent machine, he said, “and a few of them make it through.”

Without spoiling the ending or the yet-to-publish volumes, Gunn said the next books involve characters attempting to find their way back together after being separated in the galaxy and then facing an alien invasion.

In remarks he prepared for the hall of fame induction, Gunn reflects on the changes in science fiction since he “sat in a garret” writing his first story in 1948.

“The world has changed, too, often in positive ways, sometimes in ways that threaten its survival,” he said. “It’s the job of science fiction, it’s our job, to observe those changes and consider their implications for human lives and maybe even do something to make those lives better, more livable, more human — whatever ‘human’ turns out to be. Let’s save the world through science fiction.”

The theme for the presentations is “21st Century Challenges to Liberal Arts and Sciences (and how KU will address them).” KU students, faculty and staff are invited to attend and provide feedback for the dean search committee, led by professor of English Marta CamineroSantangelo.

The university will announce who the candidates are about two days before their respective talks, according to KU. The new dean will replace Danny Anderson, who left KU earlier this year to become president of Trinity University in San Antonio. He had been dean since 2010.

Don Steeples, Dean A. McGee Distinguished Professor of Applied Geophysics, is interim dean.

was very important.”

Most of the charges in question occurred in July. Farmer traveled to Washington, D.C., two times during the month — once for a fact-gathering trip on how the community’s justice system could better serve the needs of people with mental health issues and another trip to attend the Young Elected Officials conference.

In Washington, D.C., Farmer used a city credit card to pay a portion of an airline ticket for a traveling companion who was not a city employee or part of the city’s delegation. Stoddard said it appeared the companion originally paid for the ticket, but when a flight needed to be changed, Farmer used the city credit card to pay for the additional charges related to the flight change. One expense was for $240.99 to Southwest Airlines and another expense was for $103 to Southwest Airlines.

Other personal expenses in Washington, D.C., included $102.31 for a pair of ties at Jos A. Bank and a nearly $27 dry cleaner’s bill. Farmer wrote in the Tuesday memo that the use of the city’s credit card was required because his personal credit card had been compromised and “I had no other means to pay for anything.”

Farmer said a second personal credit card also was compromised, which required him to use a city credit card for a couple of purchases in Kansas City: $50.32 at Dick’s Sporting Goods and $20 at the Legends Stadium 14 movie theater.

In his memo, Farmer said the use of the city

credit card had nothing to do with “things that have gone on in the past” and recently came to light in the media.

On Monday, the board of Just Food announced that it and Farmer had come to a “mutual decision” that Farmer should step down as executive director of the food bank. Farmer has conceded that he failed to pay about $50,000 in federal payroll taxes for the nonprofit. On Wednesday, Farmer resigned from the Lawrence City Commission.

Stoddard said she was not aware that Farmer was using the city’s credit card for personal expenses until she requested an explanation for the unusual charges.

She said Farmer was still within the accepted time frame for city employees to turn in their reconciliation statements, but she said earlier notification of the personal expense issue would have been useful.

“I think it certainly would have been helpful for me to be notified of his personal use of the card,” Stoddard said.

Stoddard’s office released details of the travel expenses on Thursday at the urging of Commissioner Leslie Soden, who as vice mayor is serving as acting mayor.

Soden said she wanted the city to be proactive in dealing with the travel expense issue.

Stoddard’s office had recently individually notified city commissioners of the irregular expenses incurred by Farmer.

Stoddard had planned on releasing the documents at a special meeting at 2 p.m. today at City Hall, where commissioners will discuss the process for replacing Farmer.

Kobach

his statement still held firm, adding he had no news of any potential appeal or lawsuits.

“I haven’t heard anything about any further action that anybody might take,” Flory said. “I’m comfortable with the decision, and people are free to do what they want to do, but I think it’s a sound decision that would withstand any judicial scrutiny.”

at this point.”

Kobach said he, his wife and his five daughters — who attended Wednesday’s meeting — do not currently live in Douglas County, residing instead at a home in Wyandotte County, near Piper. And although Kobach’s metal building is outfitted with a living quarters, he said, his family won’t reside there in the future. Rather, they plan to build a larger home on the land.

“Our plans are to sell our house in Piper and build a house on the farm in Douglas County,” he said. “We already had the architectural drawings made, and we’re hoping to get started this fall.”

During Wednesday’s meeting, Commissioner Jim Flory said the commission was not fearful of any potential legal backlash.

“It’s not a matter of concern,” he said. “When we make decisions, we make decisions. We don’t make decisions concerned about whether someone may file a lawsuit.”

On Thursday, Flory said

Fees for hunting, fishing licenses likely to spike

Get ready for rush

———

Lawmakers brace for pushback much since the 1980s.

But some members of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules and Regulations said they had fresh memories of one recent change that generated a lot of criticism in their home districts.

In 2012, at the agency’s request, lawmakers amended a law that had said people age 65 and over were exempt from having to buy a license. The age to qualify for a “seniors� exemption was raised to 75, causing much consternation among hunters and fishermen.

Topeka — The cost of getting a hunting or fishing license in Kansas, as well as the cost of permits for big game such as deer and elk, is likely to go up substantially this year, and some Kansas lawmakers are bracing themselves for pushback from their constituents.

Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks Secretary Robin Jennison told a legislative panel Monday that Kansas needs to modernize its fee structure. The basic rate plan, he said, has not changed

“

We were one of only 14 states that did not charge people age 65 and over in some form.

So we were not getting our fair share of that excise tax on hunting and fishing equipment.”

— Robin Jennison, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks secretary Parks and Tourism.

Ostmeyer said he was upset to learn that only three years after passing that controversial measure, the department was already gearing up for another major fee hike.

But Jennison said that change was about more than just the agency’s short-term budget needs.

When the exemption for people age 65 and over was first enacted, he said, the average life expectancy was shorter than it is now, so there weren’t as many people benefiting from it. Now, with life expectancy longer — about 78.6 years — and a large number of baby boomers now reaching retirement age, raising the age for the exemption was a matter of long-term planning.

He said it also had an impact on the state’s allocation of federal fish and wildlife funding.

At the same time, he noted, the department also began offering discount lifetime licenses to people age 65 to 74, which are currently $42.50.

Agency officials told lawmakers Monday that the fee increases are relatively minor, and for many people they are the smallest part of the overall cost of hunting and fishing.

That’s especially true for the avid sportsmen who spend upwards of $2,000 for a high-quality rifle.

And avid fishermen often spend hundreds of dollars on poles and equipment, not to mention the cost of their boats.

But Ostmeyer and others said they were more concerned about the im-

L awrence J ournal -W orld pact on average families who just like to go out on weekends and fish in a local lake, or go deer hunting in the fall.

Under the current proposal, the cost of a basic one-year hunting or fishing license for a Kansas resident would go to $25, a $7 increase. A combination license would go to $45, a $9 increase.

For hunters, though, there are other costs because in addition to an annual license, hunters also are required to buy specific permits for deer, elk, antelope and turkey.

Those permits regulate how many of those animals the hunter can take during a season.

Under the proposal, a basic deer permit for an adult Kansas resident using a firearm would cost $40, a $10 increase.

Like most states, Kansas has a long list of licenses, permits and fees, the prices of which vary depending on whether the person is a resident or nonresident; adult or youth; and the type of animal being hunted.

State plans initiative on child support Topeka — Two state agencies in Kansas are preparing to launch a new campaign aimed at increasing the collection of child support payments from unmarried or separated parents.

The Department of Labor and the Department for Children and Families are planning a

joint news conference this morning to kick off the campaign.

Their announcement of the event says it will be an educational campaign but does not provide further details. The event will be at the Department for Children and Families state office in downtown Topeka.

Labor Secretary Lana Gordon and Children and Families Secretary Phyllis Gilmore are planning to participate in the event.

Child support is paid by non-custodial parents after a divorce or separation, or when parents never married and live separately.

cense fees, or $8.2 million more than it collects now.

But Jennison said those figures are based on the number of licenses the state currently sells, and he doubts the actual impact would be that large.

He noted that part of the plan includes “value” options such as multiple-year licenses and combination hunting and fishing licenses, and it’s hard to predict how many people will opt to take those.

Jennison said the final decision on fees will be up to the Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Commission, an appointed group that serves as the agency’s governing body. He said that commission may decide to reduce some of the requested fee increases.

The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism is currently taking public comment on the proposed fee increases.

A public hearing on the proposal is scheduled for Oct. 22 in Burlington. Final action by the Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Commission is expected a few weeks after that.

Emergency responders requested the assistance of a Life Star air ambulance, which landed at Hobbs Park shortly before 10 a.m., Brixius said.

The child was then taken to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., according to scanner traffic.

New York Elementary has been an active construction site for “more than a year,” after the April 2013 passage of a $92.5 million bond issue for “facility improvements, technology enhancements and the expansion of career and technical educational opportunities,” Lawrence schools spokeswoman Julie Boyle said in a statement Thursday.

The school is a “closed campus,” Boyle said, as site work was taking place on the school’s campus Thursday morning when the accident happened.

Boyle said the district has “activated its Crisis Response Team” to offer support to those affected by the tragedy. The Crisis Response Team is a collaboration of school nurses, psychologists, counselors, social workers, mental health professionals and other district staff who volunteer to “provide counseling and emotional support to school communities as needed,” Boyle said.

Agency challenge Hopefully, Just Food will be able to respond quickly to its current challenges and continue its good work in Lawrence.

I

t’s too bad that the apparent careless management of its former executive director is creating problems for Just Food, an agency that has had a significant positive impact in the community.

After learning that $50,000 in federal payroll taxes had gone unpaid, the Just Food board arrived at “a mutual agreement” with Jeremy Farmer to accept his resignation from the agency he had led since 2011. Two days later, Farmer submitted his resignation from the Lawrence City Commission, which is set to receive a report today on “irregular expenses” incurred by Farmer and charged to the city.

In addition to the payroll tax issue, questions have been raised about an income tax return that Farmer filed with United Way of Douglas County as part of Just Food’s funding application. It appears that the form he submitted was never filed with the Internal Revenue Service and, according to an attorney representing the Just Food board, is an incomplete “draft” that may be revised before it is filed with the IRS. So far, the Just Food board has had to engage both an accountant and an attorney to deal with issues and questions related to Farmer’s actions. Assuming those professionals aren’t donating their services, that’s money that most would agree would have been better spent addressing the agency’s mission of providing food for local residents in need.

It’s uncertain what impact the questions being raised will have on Just Food’s reputation. In the short term, the situation is casting doubt on the agency’s past management, but hopefully the board will be able to quickly respond to the situation and take the necessary steps to keep Just Food operating and ensure its long-term health.

As previously reported in the Journal-World, Farmer’s Facebook biography claimed he “propelled Just Food from the fringes of obscurity to being among the leaders of social change in Lawrence.” Despite the self-aggrandizing tone of that description, many local volunteers deserve credit for the success of Just Food. Notable among those is the late Ann Weick, who served as dean of the Kansas University School of Social Welfare and was instrumental in founding the agency.

This is an embarrassing situation for Just Food and points once again to the important responsibility that volunteer boards have in supervising the operation of non-profit agencies. Just Food has done good work in the community and we hope it will be able to quickly get its operations back on track.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 14, 1915: “William Schaake, who lives east of town, has the champion hard years luck wheat story. Mr. Schaake ago just finished threshing 130 acres IN 1915 of wheat which brought him only 200 bushels. He has other wheat, however, which will make a much better yield.”

“Don Morrison returned last night from Hoxie, Kansas, where he has been running a binder for the past month. The wheat in this section is making a fairly good yield, he says…”

Both parties face ideological splits Washington — Both presidential nomination contests having been scrambled by recent events — the FBI taking control of Hillary Clinton’s private email server and a raucous, roiling GOP debate — the third edition of the Racing Form is herewith rushed into print.

Legal disclaimer: This column is for betting purposes only. What follows is analysis — scrubbed, as thoroughly as a Clinton server, of advocacy. (Unless I simply can’t resist.)

Hillary Clinton: Ever since her disastrous book-launch performance, I’ve thought her both (1) a weak candidate and (2) the inevitable Democratic nominee.

No longer. She has fallen from her 95 percent barringan-act-of-God perch. The email imbroglio has already badly damaged her credibility. But now that she’s lost control of the server, there is potential for further, conceivably fatal, damage. It hinges largely on how successful she was in erasing the 32,000 emails she unilaterally deemed private.

Whatever happens, she will stay in the race. Clintons never quit. But if more topsecret information is found, if she did destroy work-related emails and if her numbers continue their steady decline, the party might decide it simply can’t afford to continue carrying her baggage.

Odds: 1-3.

Bernie Sanders: A less flighty, more serious Gene McCarthy. Fiery and genial, Sanders is the perfect protest candidate. But can a 73-yearold dairy-state Brooklynite socialist win? Of course not.

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

And note how thin is the Democrat’s bench. After Clinton, no one, while the GOP stage sports perhaps eight to 10 impressive, plausibly presidential figures, including (for those who count such things) two Hispanics, a female former Fortune 500 CEO and an African-American brain surgeon.”

If Hillary falls, Joe Biden fills the vacuum. Possibly even John Kerry. (Note to Dems: The beatified Jon Stewart is currently unemployed and at large.)

Meanwhile, over at the GOP ...

Donald Trump: Clear front-runner. Are you waiting for him to bring himself down? He won’t. He’s impervious to the gaffe. In fact, he has a genius for turning a gaffe into a talking point, indeed, a rallying cry.

Since the debate, his numbers have plateaued, and in some places declined.

In New Hampshire, for example, he’s gone from the

mid-20s to the high teens.

And he had a rough debate, as reflected in the Suffolk University poll in Iowa taken right afterward, in which, by 55-23, respondents felt less comfortable with him as president.

Nonetheless, his core support, somewhere around 20 percent (plus or minus a couple), remains as solid as that once commanded by Ron Paul and Ross Perot. Which means Trump will likely continue to lead until the field whittles down to a handful, at which point 20 percent is no longer a plurality.

Teflon Don. Solid constituency, fixed ceiling. Chances of winning his party’s nomination? About the same as Sanders winning his.

Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio: Still the top tier. Walker just held his own in the debate. Bush slipped slightly, appearing somewhat passive and, amazingly, still lacking a good answer to the “brother’s war” question. But he continues steady with a serious follow-up foreign policy speech and stick-to-his-guns positions on Common Core and immigration — not easy given the current mood of the party.

Rubio had the best debate performance of the primetime 10 — fluid, passionate, in command. And he was already No. 1 in the “who could you support” question (at 62 percent), crucial in a 17-member field.

Odds for each? Rubio 3-1.

Bush and Walker 4-1.

Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Carly Fiorina: The new second tier. And rising. Cruz had a strong debate, establishing himself as the most convinc-

ing carrier of the populist, anti-Washington meme.

Kasich was engaging and compelling as the bleedingheart conservative and successful tough-guy governor.

Not an easy trick.

Fiorina displayed raw talent that surprised everyone who didn’t know her — and 6 million watched. Articulate, knowledgeable and relentlessly combative, she took on Clinton, Trump and Barack Obama. Being in the undercard was a stroke of luck. She took the stage and made it her own.

Odds for the second-tier?

9-1 but with high ceilings for each.

Bonus Racing Form feature: the general election.

Conventional wisdom is that the GOP is tearing itself apart and headed south.

What’s becoming clear, however, is that the Democrats are equally split ideologically — Clinton desperately moving left as Sanders’ crowds grow — and increasingly nervous about her chronic, shall we say, character problem.

Both parties limp into November 2016. Current odds?

GOP: 55 percent.

And note how thin is the Democrat’s bench. After Clinton, no one, while the GOP stage sports perhaps eight to 10 impressive, plausibly presidential figures, including (for those who count such things) two Hispanics, a female former Fortune 500 CEO and an African-American brain surgeon.

And one white guy fluent in Spanish. Try engaging Bernie or Hill en español.

Republicans have a woman problem

By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

After Mitt Romney lost the 2012 presidential election, Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus commissioned an autopsy to determine what had gone wrong. High on the list: a yawning gender gap. Romney won the votes of most men but lost among female voters by 11 percentage points; among single women, the margin was a daunting 36 points. “Our candidates … need to use language that addresses concerns that are on women’s minds in order to let them know we are fighting for them,” the Republican National Committee recommended.

So Priebus must not be terribly happy that the party’s (temporary) frontrunner, Donald Trump, said Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out of her wherever” when she asked him tough questions in last week’s debate.

Trump’s boorishness, however, isn’t the GOP’s biggest obstacle on the way to gender parity.

A good chunk of last week’s debate focused on abortion.

In an attempt to appeal to social conservatives, several candidates steered right into what most voters will see as fringe territory.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said he thinks abortion should be illegal even when a pregnancy results from rape or incest, although he said he would support legislation including those exceptions if that was the only way to reduce abortions.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker reaffirmed his view that abortion should be illegal with no exceptions, not even to save a mother’s life. “There are many other alternatives that can also protect the life of that mother,” he said.

And former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said he favored legislation to confer constitutional rights on the unborn, an action that could undo the Roe v. Wade decision.

Polls have consistently

“

All this talk about abortion (not to mention menstruation) raises another problem for the GOP: Those aren’t the issues Republican strategists think can carry their candidate into the White House.”

found that no more than onequarter of Americans think abortion should be illegal without any exceptions. A 2012 CNN poll, for example, found that 83 percent of voters believed that abortion should be legal in cases of rape or incest, including 76 percent of Republicans.

The last three GOP presidential candidates — Romney, John McCain and George W. Bush — all campaigned on antiabortion platforms but agreed to those exceptions.

If Rubio, Walker or Huckabee win the nomination — and all three are in the top tier in national polls — Democrats will seize on their hardline positions to widen the gender gap.

Indeed, Democratic frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton has already pounced on

GOP antiabortion rhetoric.

“These women that I have fought for, worked for, stood up for … may lose the right to exercise a personal choice if certain Republicans were to be successful,” Clinton said Monday.

“What Marco Rubio said has as much of an impact (as Trump’s comments), and it is deeply troubling.”

In case you missed it, Clinton is running explicitly as a champion of women — a role she shied away from during her first presidential run in 2008.

All this talk about abortion (not to mention menstruation) raises another problem for the GOP: Those aren’t the issues Republican strategists think can carry their candidate into the White House.

“This election, like most elections, is going to be about jobs and the economy,” Republican pollster David Winston told me. “If you’re off talking about another topic, unless it’s really pressing, you’re not focusing where you need to.”

Winston analyzed the Fox News debate and found that only five of the moderators’ 48 questions were about the economy — about 10 percent.

“It’s the voters’ No. 1 concern, but it tied for fourth in the debate,” he said, after questions

about the candidates’ electability, foreign policy and social issues.

Republican candidates have tried to discuss the economy — Jeb Bush has said he’ll aim for a 4 percent growth rate; Rubio has proposed a controversial tax reform — but they’ve been drowned out by arguments over abortion, immigration and Trump.

Clinton, meanwhile, has been able to focus her campaign on economic proposals, including financial reform and college loans.

“You can agree or disagree with what she’s saying, but at least she can drive what the discourse is about,” Winston said.

The one consolation for Republicans is that Clinton hasn’t been able to turn that advantage into a gain in the polls.

As NBC’s Chuck Todd has noted, so far this campaign has mostly been an unpopularity contest — on both sides.

Six months before the first primary, there’s still plenty of time for Trump’s lead to evaporate and for other candidates to turn the debate toward the economy.

For now, though, the GOP still has a woman problem.

nor Henderson would say when the extension was requested. The deadline for filing is Saturday.

Farmer calculated the income tax returns in 2014 and 2013 rather than hiring an accountant, those documents show.

The 2012 income tax form was filled out by Kohart Accounting, accountants Brent Fry and Christopher Kohart acknowledged Thursday.

The accountants said they were not asked to prepare taxes for Just Food after 2012.

A nonprofit agency such as Just Food must file audits each year if it is to receive donations from the United Way. Erika Dvorske, president and CEO of United Way of Douglas County, said the last audit the agency received from Just Food was for the year 2013. Just Food has until Sept. 30 to file the 2014 audit.

The Journal-World contacted the Just Food board members on Thursday, including Maley Wilkins, the board treasurer and vice president of retail banking for Peoples Bank; Brandon Deines, a board member and Lawrence attorney; Will Katz, board vice president and director of the KU Small Business Development Center; and Emily Peterson, board secretary and owner of Merchants Pub & Plate.

All said they would not comment.

WASHINGTON Aircraft pilots are reporting a dramatic increase in drone sightings to the Federal Aviation Administration, with the number on pace to quadruple for the year, increasing concerns of a potentially dangerous collision.

On Sunday, four airline crews reported seeing drones while approaching Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey at 2,000 to 3,000 feet in the air. All landed safely without taking evasive action.

A man operates with a remote control a 4-8X Dual Atex drone on June 6, 2015 in Pau, southwestern France. the Hudson River in New York after geese knocked out the engines of his Airbus A320 in January 2009, said drones with hard batteries and electronics worried him even more than lighter, softer birds.

“It could do great damage and could be catastrophic,” said Sullenberger, who is now a safety consultant and best-selling author.

Pilots from a variety of aircraft

reported 650 drone sightings this year through Aug. 9, compared with 238 sightings in all of 2014, the FAA announced Thursday.

“It’s a startling number,” said Steve Marks, a Miami aviation lawyer, who said airline pilots might not see all the drones flying around them while concentrating on landing at 150 to 200 mph.

“It’s going to exacerbate an already dangerous situation.”

The Global Gateway Alliance,

an advocacy group for New Yorkarea airports, urged the FAA to better enforce no-fly zones and require that drones be equipped with programming that prevents them from entering restricted areas.

“When it comes to our airports, safety has to come first,” said Joe Sitt, the alliance’s founder and chairman. “It is past time for the FAA to step up and protect the nation’s most crowded airspace for the 117 million passengers who use it every year.”

FAA is developing comprehensive rules for drones. For now, drone hobbyists must stay below 400 feet and commercial drone pilots must stay below 500 feet — and both must avoid flying within 5 miles of an airport unless they have the air-traffic control tower’s permission. Remote drone pilots must also keep their aircraft within sight and fly only during the day.

How do you get to Sesame Street? Well, you can start by going to HBO. Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind the classic children’s show, announced a new partnership with HBO on Thursday that will bring the next five seasons of the series to the premium cable channel and its streaming services.

The partnership means that Sesame Street will be able to produce almost twice as much new content in each season. The show

will still be made available to PBS and its member stations, which has aired the program since 1969 — only now it will be free of charge for them after a ninemonth window.

The deal moves HBO back into the kids programming business, which it abandoned years ago, at a much lower cost than creating an original series.

Rival Netflix has moved aggressively into that arena with shows from DreamWorks Animation and others, and says kids programming has been a major driver of subscriber growth among families.

Sesame Workshop CEO Jeffrey

CHILDRENS TELEVISION WORKSHOP

Ernie, left, and Bert have been on PBS since 1969.

D. Dunn said the deal “provides Sesame Workshop with the critical funding it needs to be able to continue production of Sesame Street and secure its non-profit

mission of helping kids grow smarter, stronger and kinder; it gives HBO exclusive pay cable and SVOD access to the nation’s most important and historic educational programming; and it allows Sesame Street to continue to air on PBS and reach all children, as it has for the past 45 years.”

In addition, Sesame Workshop will produce a Sesame Street Muppet spin-off series as well as develop a new educational series for children.

The new episodes of the show will begin airing as early as late fall 2015 on HBO. Contributing: Gary Levin

Chelsea Manning may be sent to solitary confinement Her lawyers say that she is being harassed John Bacon USA TODAY

Chelsea Manning, the transgender Army private convicted of leaking national security secrets, faces a hearing Tuesday for prison infractions that could result in solitary confinement.

Manning, who was intelligence analyst Bradley Manning when arrested in 2010, is charged with disrespect of a prison officer and is accused having books and maga-

zines including a Cosmopolitan issue that included an interview with Manning and a Vanity Fair issue with Caitlyn Jenner on the cover, among other offenses.

Her lawyers say she is being harassed.

The ACLU said in an email that Manning was charged with disrespect for requesting a lawyer when she felt she was being accused of misconduct. Other charges included disorderly conduct for sweeping food on the floor, possessing an expired tube of toothpaste and possessing “prohibited property” — some of them documents on trans rights and government transparency.

“This kind of action has the potential to chill Chelsea’s speech and silence her altogether.”

“This kind of action has the potential to chill Chelsea’s speech and silence her altogether,” ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio told USA TODAY.

Chase Strangio, ACLU lawyer

The ACLU said prison documents confirm that all the charges are classified as “serious.” The ACLU said Manning could face solitary confinement indefinitely.

The closed hearing will be held at the Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where

Manning is serving her sentence.

The barracks referred inquiries to Army spokeswoman Tatjana Christian, who released a statement providing few details about the case. A Disciplinary and Adjustment Board will decide the matter, the statement said.

“The Army remains committed to a fair and equitable process in the adjudication of administrative matters for all of its soldiers,” it said.

Manning, 27, was arrested in May 2010, accused of violating the Espionage Act after releasing to the Wikileaks website about 700,000 classified or sensitive military and diplomatic documents.

VOICES

One year later, a different Ferguson Yamiche Alcindor

USA TODAY

FERGUSON, MO. Shots rang out on the anniversary of Michael Brown’s death, and I leaped to the ground, crashing into a cement parking lot while feeling thrust back into last year’s at times violent unrest.

Once again, I clenched my gas mask like I did last year, while thinking about how a terrifying nighttime shooting had followed peaceful daylight protests seeking change. Once again I tried to calculate the distance between me and the gunshots and thanked God I had not been hit.

Yet this was not Ferguson 2014.

Instead of tear gas instantly filling my lungs, a familiar protester screamed for me to get down and behind an ATM. Instead of protesters and police clashing, officers and demonstrators took cover behind their vehicles and yelled for others to do the same. Instead of capturing the scene six seconds at a time on Vine, I quickly opened Periscope and livestreamed the tense moments for almost 20 minutes.

Moments later, one man told me he thought Sunday’s shooting would set Ferguson back a year, undoing some of the progress that has convinced many to remain in the city through the turmoil. Most I talked to, however, disagreed and pointed out you can’t undo things like the Department of Justice’s scathing

Gunfire erupts during a demonstration Sunday to mark the one-year anniversary of Michael Brown’s death. But unlike in 2014, Ferguson seems more hopeful than violent. report concluding the Ferguson police department had engaged in a broad pattern of racially biased enforcement.

The bottom line: Measuring progress in Ferguson is tough. As a journalist, I don’t plan to say whether things have gotten better, worse or stayed the same. I’ll leave that to the mayor, police officers, residents and activists who live this city’s realities daily.

In some ways, only they can try to compute the complicated “progress formula” that means balancing a new black police chief and city manager with black residents’ ongoing con-

cerns about racial profiling and police brutality.

But we can all assess the cases of two reporters, Wesley Lowery of The Washington Post and Ryan J. Reilly of The Huffington Post, who have been charged with trespassing and interfering with a police officer after being arrested last year because police decided the reporters were not moving quickly enough from a McDonald’s they had been using as a staging area.

Last year, I spent months in Ferguson chronicling hundreds of days of peaceful demonstrations and protester-police clash-

es, as well as angry people burning down buildings after a grand jury declined to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for killing Brown. This year, I spent a couple of weeks in Ferguson talking to people who are both hopeful about new black leaders and distressed that the list of people killed during controversial police interactions across the country keeps growing.

The common denominator is the intense feeling that as a journalist I’m chronicling one of the most important moments in American history. To do so means fighting intense exhaustion, operating on two to three hours of sleep and explaining to terrified family members there’s no other place I’d rather be.

In short, covering Ferguson means understanding that both Darren Wilson and Michael Brown — regardless of exactly what happened during their fatal interaction — changed thousands of lives. A generation once written off as politically inactive now roams the country, pushing Americans to confront the hard truth that racism still permeates parts of the criminal justice system. And more people than ever before understand more intimately the daily dangers faced by officers in cities across the country.

A year later, I can also say that Ferguson changed my life, too.

Being in this city in 2014 and 2015 reminded me that my job is in the Constitution and that with each story, I have a chance to serve as a professional witness.

Jeb Bush remains the primary Republican target Critics take aim at his stances on Common Core, immigration David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

Sure, Donald Trump has the lead and most of the public’s attention.

But another candidate with a well-known name and a big bank account — Jeb Bush — remains the primary target for other Republicans seeking their party’s 2016 presidential nomination.

In some cases echoing the attacks of Democrats, Republicans have criticized Bush over immigration, Common Core, gaffes on the campaign trail and his status as the “third Bush” to seek the presidency in 30 years.

The reasons, according to political analysts: Bush and his backers have more than $100 million to spend, and he generally is considered one of the favorites for the Republican nomination. In many ways, they said, the Republican race revolves around Bush.

“There’s a rule in politics — punch up,” said Republican strategist Rick Wilson.

CHIP SOMODEVILLA, GETTY IMAGES

Donald Trump, center, has led the charge against Jeb Bush, right, who is also well-funded and considered one of the favorites.

Fielding a question about his family’s legacy during last week’s debate, Bush said the electoral bar may be “higher for me,” but he plans to run on his record as Florida governor.

“I’m going to have to earn this,” Bush said.

Trump, who leads many Republican polls, has led the charge against Bush, saying he lacks the “energy” to be party leader and president. In Michigan this week, the billionaire businessman pointed out the debate drew more than 24 million cable television viewers.

“Who do you think they were watching?” Trump said. “Jeb Bush? I don’t think so.”

Other Republicans have taken jabs at Bush as well: uNew Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is battling Bush in the key New Hampshire primary, criticized him for a speech this week blaming President Obama and Hillary Clinton for problems in Iraq and the rise of the Islamic State. Christie said it’s a mistake to “re-litigate” the unpopular Iraq War that began during the George W. Bush administration.

“It’s bad decision-making by

Gov. Bush, but I’m not running his campaign,” Christie told radio show host Laura Ingraham on Wednesday.

Christie has also pointed out that the former Florida governor has been out of office more than eight years, telling The Weekly Standard, “I haven’t seen him around much since he left office in 2007, in terms of working on Republican issues around the country.” uOhio Gov. John Kasich, also pressing Bush in New Hampshire, has said he began exploring a presidential run in part because Bush failed to seize control of the race. “I thought Jeb was just going to suck all the air out of the room, and it just hasn’t happened,” Kasich said in June. uRick Perry, the former governor of Texas, challenged the strength of the Florida economy on Bush’s watch: “One analyst recently estimated that more than a third of Florida’s job growth under Jeb Bush’s administration was due to the housing bubble.” uWisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, in his announcement speech last month, said he and his brother “didn’t inherit fame and fortune from our family,” an apparent reference to Bush’s roots. uBusinesswoman Carly Fiori-

IN BRIEF SEX ASSAULT INVESTIGATION AGAINST ASSANGE TRIMMED

Swedish prosecutors on Thursday dropped two of four parts of their sexual assault investigation into WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange because the statute of limitations expired.

An investigation into a third suspected sexual molestation incident will expire Aug. 18.

The statute of limitations involving an incident of suspected rape involving the Australian national, 44, does not expire before 2020.

The withdrawal of some parts of the investigation does not mean Assange can leave Ecuador’s Embassy in London where he has been holed up for the past three years.

Assange has not been formally charged with crimes in Sweden or the United Kingdom, but the U.S. Department of Justice is seeking his extradition so it can prosecute him for espionage related to WikiLeaks’ publication of thousands of diplomatic letters.

Assange denies all the sexual assault-related accusations.

na criticized Bush for a misstatement he made on women’s health issues. In pledging to pull federal funding for Planned Parenthood, Bush said that he’s “not sure we need a half a billion dollars for women’s health programs.” He later said he misspoke.

“I think it’s gonna become an ad in a Democratic campaign,” Fiorina said, noting that Clinton has already “jumped all over it for a reason: because she saw an opportunity. And it is foolish to say that women’s health isn’t a priority. Of course it’s a priority.”

During a recent RedState Gathering of conservative political activists in Atlanta, Bush critics cited his support of a pathway to legal status for migrants in the country illegally, as well as support for Common Core standards that they describe as an attempted federal takeover of the education system.

They also called Bush the symbol of a Republican establishment they say has let the party down.

“He probably would be more effective than a lot of people believe,” said Diane Hubbard, 57, a political volunteer from Mooresville, Ind. “But at the same time people are looking for something new and different.”

Bill Patzert, a climatologist with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said the system has the possibility of becoming “the Godzilla El Niño.” Its ocean signal, he said, is stronger than in 1997, when the most powerful El Niño on record developed.

The National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center said Thursday that all computer models are now predicting a strong El Niño, which would peak in late fall or early winter. That could benefit drought-stricken California.

CONN. HIGH COURT SHUTTERS DEATH ROW Decision spares 11 inmates’ lives not part of Legislature’s repeal of capital punishment 3 years ago Kevin Johnson

USA TODAY

The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the death penalty violated state constitutional bans on cruel and unusual punishment in a decision that spares the lives of 11 deathrow inmates.

The decision comes three years after the state Legislature repealed capital punishment for all but those who were sentenced to death before the measure was signed into law.

“The adoption of (state law), when considered in the light of

the history of capital punishment in our state and other legal developments, compels us to conclude that the death penalty now constitutes cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the state constitution,” the court ruled.

The state decision — which follows the appeal of Eduardo Santiago, who was convicted in a 2000 murder-for-hire case — echoed dissents issued in June by two U.S. Supreme Court justices who questioned the constitutionality of the death penalty in a case that tested states’ use of a controversial lethal injection method.

In his dissent, Justice Stephen

“The death penalty now constitutes cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the state constitution.”

At least 67 people were killed in Baghdad on Thursday after a massive truck bomb ripped through a food market, according to media reports.

Around 200 people were wounded in the blast in Sadr City, a district of Iraq’s capital, Reuters and Al Jazeera reported.

The Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, claimed responsibility for the attack.

The group frequently targets predominantly Shiite neighborhoods such as Sadr City, with the goal of sending a message to the Shiite-dominated government.

Two additional Senate Democrats announced Thursday they will support the Iran nuclear agreement, edging President Obama closer to the margin he needs to block GOP efforts to scuttle the deal.

“It isn’t a perfect agreement.

But it is a strong one,” Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., wrote in an editorial for CNN. “This agreement is, in my opinion, the most effective, realistic way to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon anytime in the next 15 years.”

Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., also endorsed the deal Thursday. Tester chairs the Senate Democrats’ 2016 campaign operation.

“After reading the agreement, consulting with experts and listening to Montanans, it’s clear AFP/GETTY IMAGES this deal is the only option “It isn’t a right now to perfect stop Iran from developing a agreenuclear weapment. on,” Tester said But it is a in a statement. strong The senators’ anone.” nouncement Sen. Al Franken, makes them D-Minn. the 18th and 19th Democratic senators to publicly endorse the deal reached between the U.S., Iran and five other countries to halt Iran’s nuclear weapon ambitions in exchange for loosening economic sanctions and inspections.

Republican congressional leaders will bring to the House and Senate floors by Sept. 17 resolutions of disapproval that seek to block the deal from taking place.

Obama has already said he will veto it if it reaches his desk.

Congress could then vote to override a veto, which would require the support of two-thirds of lawmakers in each body.

Obama would need 34 senators or 146 House members to oppose an override in order to uphold the veto.

The administration is still 15 senators shy of that goal.

So far, Senate Democratic leaders are split on the deal. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., who is poised to become the next Senate Democratic leader, opposes the deal. However, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., supports it and is aiding the administration’s efforts on Capitol Hill.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., have not announced their positions.

In the House, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., backs the deal. With 188 Democratic votes, the administration can lose 42 House Democrats if every Republican opposes the deal.

So far, only about a dozen House Democrats are publicly opposed.

WASHINGTON

WU HONG, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Two massive explosions Wednesday ripped through a warehouse facility in Tianjin, China. At least 50 people were killed, and an additional 700 were injured.

AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Rescue teams detected high levels of sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides near the scene.

The scale of the destruction in the area immediately around the blast sites and the size of the fire lead many on Weibo to believe the death toll could climb higher.

Ruihai oversaw a 46,000square-meter facility that housed warehouses for storing and distributing hazardous materials, Reuters reported.

China’s President Xi Jinping demanded punishment for those found responsible for the blasts.

Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said six battalions of firefighters had brought the ensuing fire under control, although it was still burning early Thursday.

Authorities announced they suspended further efforts to douse the blaze because they had not been given clear information as to the nature of the potentially hazardous materials being stored in the warehouses.

Rescue teams detected high levels of sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides as far as a half-mile from the scene, Xinhua reported. A 217-member team of specialists in nuclear, biological and chemical materials was brought in to begin assessing and cleaning up toxic material.

The city has set up 17 monitoring stations for air, and another five for water. Three sewage outlets to the sea have closed, said Wen Wurui, head of the city’s environmental protection bureau.

Several buildings were destroyed in the blasts, and more than 1,000 new cars were left charred in a nearby parking lot, the Beijing News reported.

As many as 3,500 residents have been relocated to 10 schools because of damage to their homes. The number could reach 6,000 by Thursday night, said Zhang Yong of the Binhai district government, Xinhua reported.

The death toll in twin warehouse explosions in China rose to at least 50 people Thursday, including 12 firefighters, state media reported.

China’s official Xinhua news agency said the two massive explosions that ripped through a warehouse facility in one of the world’s busiest ports in the city of Tianjin injured 700 people.

About 71 people were hospitalized in critical condition.

According to Wang Xiaojie, head of the emergency department of Teda Hospital, many patients had glass or shrapnel cuts, or skull injuries and fractures, Xinhua reported.

Residents posted photos of blown-out windows and doors on social media. Videos showed a huge fire ball surging into the sky and individual explosions like fireworks going off around it.

Tianjin has a population of 15 million and is located about 90 miles southeast of Beijing.

“Tianjin looks like the end of the world has come this morning,” resident Wang Kun said Thursday. “It’s like what you see in Hollywood blockbusters.”

The scale of the destruction in the area immediately around the blast sites and the size of the fire lead many on Weibo to believe the death toll could climb higher.

People as far away as Beijing began to don face masks in case the explosion released toxic chemicals into the air.

The first blast, which occurred around 11:30 p.m. local time Wednesday, was equivalent to that caused by 3 tons of TNT. The second explosion, triggered by the first fire, was equivalent to 21 tons of explosive material, China’s National Earthquake Bureau said.

Executives for Ruihai Logistics, the company which owns the warehouse where the inferno originated, were arrested, police said. The company’s website said it is approved to handle hazardous materials.

Breyer based his reasoning — in part — on the increasing number of states that have abandoned capital punishment. Seven states have abolished the death penalty since 2004.

Though Connecticut has rarely used its execution chamber, state Supreme Court Chief Justice Chase Rogers took issue with the decision in a dissent, saying that the majority “identifies absolutely nothing in our state’s distant past, however, that would remotely support the conclusion that there has ever been a societal consensus in this state that the death penalty is an inappropriate punishment for the most heinous murders.”

hold territory in about a third of Iraq.

The United States strongly condemned the attack and expressed condolences to the family and friends of the victims.

“These atrocities show once again the utter disregard ISIL has for innocent civilians, including women and children,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement. “As Iraqis unite against ISIL and turn the tide on the battlefield, ISIL will try to maintain its campaign of terror to sow discord among the Iraqi people.”

Last month, an attack by the Islamic State group on a crowded marketplace in Iraq’s eastern Diyala province killed 115 people, including women and children, in one of the deadliest single attacks in the nation in the past decade.

“This is the strongest explosion I ever saw in my life,” Hassan Hamid, 37, a minibus driver and

Clerk’s office won’t issue gay marriage licenses Mike Wynn

The (Louisville, Ky.) Courier-Journal

The Rowan County Clerk’s Office refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses Thursday, despite a federal judge’s order that dismissed the clerk’s religious objections.

Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis’ office turned away David Moore and David Ermold, where a deputy clerk told him the office was not issuing the forms.

“We came here as anyone should be able to do because there is an injunction,” said Moore. “Anyone should be able to come in, walk in there and get a marriage license.”

Deputy clerk Nathan Davis said the office was advised by its attorneys with a Christian law firm Liberty Counsel to continue refusing same-sex couples as it appeals the ruling in court.

Moore said he also attempted to obtain the paperwork from the county judge-executive but was turned away.

The clerks are “defying the injunction,” he said.

PAY-TV SUBSCRIBER LOSSES

Pay-TV providers had their worst three-month period ever from April to June 2015, losing more than 600,000 subscribers, analysts say.

Cord-cutting was the culprit that led U.S. cable, satellite and telecom pay-TV companies to their biggest collective quarterly decline, according to a report out Thursday from research firm SNL Kagan. As consumers dabble in the growing number of Net-delivered video options — including Sling TV, Sony PlayStation Vue and HBO Now — a growing number are leaving the traditional pay-TV service behind, SNL Kagan analyst Ian Olgeirson says.

EMIRATES SOON TO HAVE LONGEST AIRLINE ROUTE Emirates will soon overtake Qantas for the title of the world’s longest airline route. The carrier announced Thursday that it will add non-stop service from its Dubai hub to Panama City. Not only will that give Emirates its first destination in Central America, but it also will earn the airline the distinction of having the world’s longest passenger airline route. According to Bloomberg News, the flight is about 10 miles longer than Qantas’ route between Dallas/Fort Worth and Sydney, which clocks in at about 8,580 miles. The route will begin Feb. 1.

RETAIL SALES REBOUND Retail sales rose 0.6% in July as consumers began spending more on new vehicles and dining out. The Commerce Department also revised June’s surprising 0.3% decline in retail sales to an unchanged reading. May sales were revised up from a 1% gain to a 1.2% gain. The June uptick matches economists’ forecast of a 0.6% rise in retail sales, according to a survey by FactSet, and surpasses a 0.5% forecast by economists surveyed by Reuters.

The retail report “was solid rather than spectacular. But upward revisions to sales in May and June mean that real consumption growth started the third quarter on a stronger footing than we previously believed,” Capital Economics economist Paul Ashworth said.

geirson said.

Traditionally, the first quarter of the year — January to March — is fairly strong for the pay-TV segment and cancels out the traditionally weaker slow second quarter, he said. This year, pay-TV companies lost 26,000 subscribers in the first three months of 2015, compared to an increase of 267,000 in first-quarter 2014.

“In past years, (the two quarters) tended to balance each other. We didn’t see that this year,” Olgeirson said. “Certainly that portends to a bigger loss for the full year.”

Here are a few reasons why global markets rebounded Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

A

fter two days of turbulence caused by China’s surprise intervention in its currency, global markets flashed signs of stability Thursday. Stocks around the globe rebounded after China slowed the pace of yuan depreciation, and its central bank took steps to reassure markets.

In the U.S., stocks finished almost unchanged — after diving sharply Wednesday only to rebound and end higher.

Here are a few reasons why global markets rebounded, according to a client report from Barclays Thursday.

1

China reduced the value of its currency, the yuan, vs. the dollar for a third straight day, but at a slower pace. The People’s Bank of China “fixed” the rate of the yuan vs. the dollar down another 1% Thursday, which was smaller than Tuesday’s 1.9% devaluation and Wednesday’s 1.6% reduction, and close to Wednesday night’s close. The PBoC also “dismissed claims it intended to weaken the yuan by 10% to support exports as ‘nonsense,’ ” according to Barclays.

In actual trading the yuan eased just 0.2% vs. the dollar, Barclays said.

2

Chinese officials took to the airwaves to reassure markets that their intentions are not to devalue is currency in a massive way. In a news conference, the PBoC was “downplaying the need for a weaker yuan,” Barclays said. China’s central bank said it has the firepower to defend the yuan if necessary, and stressed the yuan would stabilize and eventually rise.

PBoC’s Deputy Governor Yi Gang also said there was “no basis for a persistent weakening in the yuan, that it was a strong currency in the longer term, and that the aim of the PBoC is to have the market determine the exchange rate,” according to Barclays.

China slowed the pace of yuan depreciation, and its central bank took steps to reassure markets.

The Dow Jones industrial average finished up a fractional 0.03%. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 0.1%.

The stock market rebound began in China, where the Shanghai composite jumped 1.8%.

Stocks also rebounded sharply in Europe after the worst day of the year on Wednesday. Germany’s DAX, which tumbled more than 3% Wednesday, rose 0.8%.

The fear is that China’s economy is slowing more than expected and that U.S. companies that do business there would be hurt by a stronger dollar related to the yuan depreciation, which makes U.S. products sold in China more expensive.

3

Global investors are coming to the view that the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank will be “more supportive” if the China shock becomes more severe.

Taking in account the growth in new households, the number that are either cutting the cord or never subscribing to pay TV is nearly 2 million over the past year. “New households are being formed precisely by the Millennials that least likely subscribe to Pay TV,” the analysts said in a note to investors.

CEOs at the helm of pay-TV giants have acknowledged the changing TV marketplace. “The world has changed,” said Dish Network CEO Charlie Ergen during a conference call about the satellite TV provider’s secondquarter earnings. The company lost more than 81,000 satellite subscribers during the period.

JEROME FAVRE, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

The sell-off in risk assets, such as stocks, eased Thursday, spurring purchases of beaten down stocks that got crushed the previous two days due to fears that the devaluation in China was an admission by Chinese officials that their economy was in dire straits.

SAN FRANCISCO Apple says it’s making progress in hiring women and underrepresented minorities, recruiting more diverse candidates in the past 12 months than in any previous year, but overall there was little change.

That’s the bottom line from Apple’s diversity report released Thursday.

Apple hired 65% more women, 50% more African Americans and 66% more Latinos last year than it did the previous year, the company says. In the first half of 2015, nearly half of new hires were women, African Americans, Latinos or Native Americans, ac-

cording to Apple.

“This represents the largest group of employees we’ve ever hired from underrepresented groups in a single year,” including 11,000 women, Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote in a letter that accompanied the report.

But like other major technology companies, Apple is still overwhelmingly male and white.

Some 69% of the company is male and 54% is white. Leadership of the company is 72% male and 63% white. Technical employees are 53% white.

Those percentages barely budged since last year.

“Some people will read this page and see our progress,” Cook said. “Others will recognize how much farther we have to go. We see both.”

Apple took a step toward transparency by releasing its federal diversity data for the first time.

USA TODAY has repeatedly asked Apple to release the data.

Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., last week also called on Apple and other technology holdouts to produce the data. She and two other members of the Congressional Black Caucus were on a swing through Silicon Valley, turning up the heat on tech companies to hire more African Americans.

They met with Cook and other Silicon Valley executives.

Lee responded to Apple’s latest diversity numbers on Twitter,

praising Cook’s commitment and calling the hiring of 2,200 African Americans “progress.”

For years, technology companies fought sharing any demographic information about their employees, claiming the information was a trade secret. Only in the past year or so have the industry’s top companies opened up about the diversity deficit in their ranks.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson is urging all companies, including high-profile start-ups such as Airbnb and Uber, to release the data, too.

American companies collect and report information about their workforces to the federal government each year in a form called the EEO-1. The EEO-1 is a standard form that breaks down race, ethnicity and gender.

The company said it will begin to make the documents publicly available, but “it’s not how we measure our progress.”

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

When it comes to commodities, blurting out “China’s growth is slowing!” is the financial equivalent of someone yelling, “Fire!” in a crowded movie theater.

It causes panic, and gets everyone — be it moviegoers or investors with positions in stuff like oil, coal, zinc, lead and platinum — heading for the exit door at the same time. The downside: people get hurt. And, financially speaking, people lose money as the mad rush to safety equates to falling asset prices. That explains in a nutshell the rout in oil recently, which has seen U.S.-produced crude tumble to 61⁄2-year lows.

The numbers don’t lie, and they show China consumes, with the exception of oil and gas, the

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

bulk of the world’s commodities, according to data from Bank of America Merrill Lynch. China consumes more than half of the world’s coal, nearly 50% of aluminum and nickel, and more than 40% of the world’s zinc, copper, iron ore and lead.

That’s why signs of a more serious slowdown in China and its move to devalue its currency to try to stem the decline have crushed commodities. While the S&P 500-stock index’s exposure to China “represents less than 5% of sales,” it’s hard to hide the fact commodities are in the direct line of fire. If the yuan declines further, more pain could be ahead for commodities. BofA currency strategists say the yuan could fall as much as 10% over the next year, and its research shows a 10% depreciation in the yuan “equates to ... 6% downward pressure on commodity prices.”

If risk makes you nervous, utilities might be for you Q: Are there any “safe” stocks?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Investing is risky business. But there are ways to play it a bit safer when it comes to the market.

Utilities stocks have a well-deserved reputation for being a safe haven during rough times. Utilities stocks tend to decline much less than the other nine main sectors of the market during times of turbulence. There’s a fundamental reason for that. The revenue and profits of utilities tend to hold up, even during economic downturns, because consumers and businesses need power and other utilities. There’s also a trading reason why utilities tend to hold up better: They pay market-beating dividends. The Vanguard Utilities exchange-traded fund (VPU) pays a current yield of 3.4% — roughly double the dividend paid by the Standard & Poor’s 500.

But while utilities might be safer than many other stocks, that doesn’t mean they’re safe. The Vanguard Utilities ETF is down about 8% this year. Utilities stocks suffered relative to other spots of the market as investors poured into more speculative investments.

Investors trying to play it safe have three ways to do it. If you’re buying individual stocks, cut your losses at 10%.

Otherwise, build a diversified basket of investments of stocks and bonds. Lastly, be patient. Short-term risk doesn’t matter for long-term investors.

Municipal bond overcharges to cost Edward Jones $20M Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

Financial firm Edward Jones will pay $20 million in penalties for overcharging retail customers in municipal bond sales, the Securities and Exchange Commission said Thursday.

An SEC investigation focused on the nation’s $3.7 trillion municipal market found securities law violations in the St. Louis, Mo.based brokerage’s handling of some primary and secondary bond sales from 2009 to 2013.

Government jurisdictions typi-

A Securities and Exchange Commission investigation is focused on the $3.7 trillion municipal market.

cally issue municipal bonds to finance long-term public projects.

Underwriters are required to offer new municipal bonds to

customers at the so-called initial offering price negotiated with the bond issuers. But the SEC found Edward Jones and the former head of its municipal underwriting desk took new bonds into the brokerage’s inventory and sold them at higher prices.

The brokerage sometimes also held new bonds until trading started in the secondary market, and then offered them to customers at costs higher than the initial offering price, the SEC said.

Customers paid at least $4.6 million in overcharges as a result. One bond issuer was required to pay the IRS after losing

a federal tax subsidy as a result of the improper actions.

The regulator also charged Edward Jones with supervisory failures involving the brokerage’s handling of certain secondary market municipal bond trades.

Edward Jones and the firm’s former municipal underwriting executive, Stina Wishman, consented to SEC settlements without admitting or denying the regulator’s allegations.

The brokerage will pay more than $20 million, including nearly $5.2 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest that will be distributed to current and

former customers who were overcharged, the SEC said. Wishman agreed to a $15,000 penalty and at least a two-year bar from securities industry work.

“Edward Jones undermined the integrity of the bond underwriting process by overcharging retail customers by at least $4.6 million and by misleading municipal issuers,” said Andrew Ceresney, the SEC’s Enforcement chief.

Edward Jones spokesman John Boul said the firm has worked to correct the violations.

About 13,000 current or former clients “will be fully compensated, with interest,” he said.

For the longest time, Marvel Comics billed Fantastic Four as “The World’s Greatest Comics Magazine.” Yet as the new movie clearly showed this past weekend, the foursome is far from staking a similar claim on the big screen.

20th Century Fox’s latest reboot of Fantastic Four — featuring the stretchable Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and monstrous The Thing — was a bomb at the box office. Matters weren’t helped by reports of a troubled production, horrific reviews and director Josh Trank throwing the film under the bus via social media.

The film is enough of a disaster to raise questions about just what could be next for this franchise.

“It was like the perfect storm of bad things,” says Jeff Bock, senior box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. A $25.7 million opening weekend “is unacceptable for a film that cost $120 (million). Even if foreign grosses buoy it a little bit, it’s still never going to be a success.”

The heroes might be getting clobbered now, but there are options for their future.

Fox has a June 9, 2017, release date in place for a sequel with the returning cast of Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell. The studio could go forward with it and risk anoth-

er huge loss, or pivot and use the four as guest stars in an X-Men movie, “a la what Batman v Superman is doing,” says Erik Davis, contributing editor for Fandango.com and Movies.com.

X-Men director Bryan Singer has hinted at a big-screen crossover project, and Fantastic Four co-writer Simon Kinberg told USA TODAY in April that he’d love to see it happen: “It was in my dreams as a child, in my dreams as a teenager, and it’s in

my dreams as a guy in my 40s.”

Fox could partner with Disney and Marvel Studios, the big cheese of the superhero genre, bringing the Fantastic Four into the Marvel Cinematic Universe to hang with the Avengers. (A fan-made Change.org petition asking Fox to sell the rights back to Marvel garnered more than 20,000 signatures in two days.)

After two substandard Amazing Spider-Man movies starring Andrew Garfield, Sony teamed with Marvel to put the webswinging good guy in next year’s Captain America: Civil War and his own solo movie in 2017. Fox could follow suit with the Fantastic Four.

“There’s no giving up on them as a film property,” says Davis.

“There’s just finding the right people to make them truly work in a way that makes them both successful and different from what the other studios are doing with their superheroes.”

AUGUST 14, 2015

Lawrence real estate market continues to sizzle Liz WesLander

Hometown Lawrence

CrystaL sWearingen, Lawrence Board of Realtors President

June’s home sale numbers brought nothing but good news, with increases in both units sold and sale prices, as well as a strong jump in the number of new construction sales. These June numbers are indicative of a market that has been consistently strong for the first half of 2015.

Homes sales in June 2015 totaled 162 units – a 14 percent increase over the 142 units sold in 2014. Among existing homes, 151 units sold in June, an increase of 9.4 percent from 138 units that sold in 2014. The average sale price of existing homes was $193,853. This represents an increase of 1.1 percent from the June 2014 average price of $191,693.

New construction sales, which have been modest at best for most of 2015, had a very strong month with 11 sales occurring in the month of June, up from four units the prior year, representing an increase of 175 percent. The average sale price of new homes in June was $338,382, up 33.1 percent from the same period last year.

“The market has been really strong through the first half of 2015, and we have every indication that we’ll continue this trend through the coming months,” said Crystal Swearingen, President of the Lawrence Board of Realtors. “Our supply of homes remains very low, so homes are selling very quickly, some with competing offers from buyers, which puts upward pressure on home prices.”

The year-to-date total of home sales in Lawrence as of July 1, 2015 was 627 homes, up 19 percent from the same date in 2014. The average sale price for 2015 is $198,492, an increase of 2 percent from last year.

The inventory of active listings in the City of Lawrence stood at 334 units at the end of June,

The market has been really strong through the first half of 2015, and we have every indication that we’ll continue this trend through the coming months.”

— Crystal Swearingen, Lawrence Board of Realtors President.

which is down from 457 homes that were on the market at the end of June last year. At the current rate of sales, this figure represents 2.1 months’ supply of homes on the market.

A total of 142 contracts for sale were written in June 2015, up from 99 in June 2014. This is an

increase of 43.4 percent. Contracts written during the month reflect, in part, sales that will close in the near future.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan Twitter@TomKeeganLJW

KU golf: Woodland withdraws, Thompson contends Thursday was a mixed bag on the former Kansas University golfer front.

The day started with bad news, when Gary Woodland scratched from the PGA Championship field at 5:30 a.m. because of a neck injury, three hours before he was scheduled to tee off with Francesco Molinari of Italy and Marc Warren of Scotland. First-alternate Carl Pettersson of Sweden took Woodland’s place in the tournament being played at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.

Elsewhere, former KU All-American Chris Thompson continued his hot week with a strong opening round in the Web. com tournament for which he qualified Monday.

Thompson shot a 5-under par 67 in the Price Cutter Charity Championship at Highland Springs Country Club in Springfield, Mo. He finished his round by sinking a 15-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th hole. He earned his spot in the field by firing a 64 in Monday’s qualifier.

Thompson’s consistent ball-striking enabled him to average 291.5 yards off the tee without a drive of longer than 295 yards.

Thompson, who tees off today at 2:25 p.m., carded 14 pars, three birdies and an eagle. Thompson is in a 20-way tie for 16th, five strokes behind leader Chase Wright. The winner of the event that has a total purse of $675,000 will earn $121,500.

Woodland’s chance to compete for the $1.8-million first-place prize and a career-changing first major victory died when his neck forced him to withdraw in the morning. Heading into the week, Woodland ranked 27th on the PGA tour money list with $2,448,415, 31st in the FedEx Cup standings and 37th in the World Golf Rankings.

NFL going for the gold this season

No need to adjust your television sets. Those are gold numbers at midfield in NFL exhibition games.

Throughout the preseason and regular season, NFL fields will have gold 50s at midfield. It’s to commemorate the 50th Super Bowl, which will be played next February.

The league is also dropping Roman numerals for this Super Bowl, which simply will be Super Bowl 50. Midway in the season, the celebration of a half-century of Super Bowls will also include sideline apparel with gold trimming.

Pro Bowl uniforms will be tinged in gold, and every Super Bowl rematch on the 2015 schedule has been highlighted on the NFL’s website in gold.

Perry working to replace two NFL picks

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University cornerbacks coach Kenny Perry was not in Lawrence for the 2014 season so he does not miss departed seniors JaCorey Shepherd and Dexter McDonald quite as much as most people associated with the program.

Perry’s focus is on finding a way to replace the two 2015 NFL Draft selections and, thus far, it has been one heck of a grind.

Speaking with the media prior to the eighth practice of preseason camp, Perry talked in general terms about his group and broke down four KU corners individually. It seems clear that, at least at this point, that Brandon Stewart, Tyrone Miller, Ronnie Davis and Matthew Boateng — most likely in that order — are the top four cornerbacks on the roster. And that quartet has combined for 18 Division I appearances, 13 tackles, six pass break-ups and zero starts.

“Right now, we’re in sur-

vival mode,” Perry said. “Everything’s kind of grasping, and that’s when you make a lot of mistakes. They’re not seeing things. They’re not remembering formations and concepts.”

But that’s not for a lack of trying. Perry said each one of his top four corners has shown improvement from the spring to now and all of them show up every day willing to give max effort in order to improve.

That’s a great starting point, but it makes for some long days and slow progress.

“It’s a process,” Perry said.

“Every day someone does something good and one guy, who, the day before, was great doesn’t look so good.

That’s what you’re gonna get when you play young kids.”

Perry said Stewart, a junior-college transfer from Trinity Valley CC, was the farthest along of the foursome. After breaking some bad habits in the spring which caused him to play like “a rabid squirrel,” according to Perry, Stewart has started to pick up and rely on better

technique and smarter play.

“He’s taken that step of wanting to be great,” Perry of Stewart, who did not return home once this summer and instead stayed in Lawrence to workout, lift and have a perfect summer conditioning attendance record.

Miller, a true freshman from Saline (Michigan) High, has been the guy most often running with the first team on the opposite side of Stewart. Perry said the two, who both stand 6-foot tall and weigh within find pounds of one another around the 175 mark, even resemble each other a little bit.

“I hate talking about young kids just because he’s so young,” Perry said of Miller.

“But he’s done everything I’ve asked. He just comes to play doesn’t say nothing.”

Boateng, who played a lot as a true freshman early in the season last year, continues to be a work in progress, but, like the others, continues to show a strong desire to get better and get on the field.

“Once Matt gets everything lined up, he’s gonna be

all right,” Perry said. “He’s just gotta learn that Pluto and Saturn ... When those things align, he has good practices.

He needs to start hoping that the solar system aligns more for him. He’s a good player.”

Davis, a fifth-year guy now in his second season with Kansas after transferring from Northeast Oklahoma prior to the 2014 season, has started to earn some firstteam reps in practice and, according to Perry, is “playing pretty good.”

Perry credits Davis’ improvement to his willingness to soak up lessons from 2014 cornerbacks coach Dave Campo, as well as Shepherd and McDonald.

Davis said he still watches film of both former Jayhawks and even dubs one press coverage technique the “Dex Mac” technique and tries to emulate the way Shepherd stayed as low to the ground as possible throughout each play.

“We have the right pieces to replace those guys,” Davis said. “They are very big Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C

Virgin Islands honors ex-Jayhawk Newton

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kenneth Mapp, the 29th governor of the Virgin Islands, declared August 7, 2015 “Milt Newton Day” in the United States territory.

Hundreds of individuals who live in the Bordeaux neighborhood in St. Thomas, V.I. where former Kansas University guard Newton grew up, gathered last Friday in a park that was renamed “The Milton M. Newton Recreation Park.”

A huge sign at the park entrance had the words “Home of a Legend” printed next to a smiling Newton, wearing suit and tie, and holding a basketball.

“It is the most distinguished honor I have ever received,” the Minnesota Timberwolves general man-

ager told the Journal-World.

“The ceremony (attended by former KU coach Larry Brown) was very humbling and overwhelming to say the least. It was a very emotional night for me and my family. Having the governor, senators and other dignitaries present to honor my accomplishments and have it proclaimed ‘Milt Newton Day’ was surprising and inspiring. The outpouring of support and love by the entire island that my family and I witnessed made me speechless,” added Newton, a starter on KU’s 1988 NCAA title team.

Newton and his wife, Shalaun, recently started the “Emerald Gems Foundation” to benefit youths in Virgin Islands. Taking the foundation’s lead, Gov. Mapp announced plans to

allocate $500,000 to the Department of Sports, Parks & Recreation for youth programs in the Virgin Islands.

Another $500,000 will be given to the Department of Education for scholastic athletic competitions between the USVI, British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, the Virgin Island Daily News reported.

“It meant a lot to me because he (Mapp) stated that our work and giving back to the community has been a catalyst and ignited legislative conversations about establishing programs for sports and the arts that will serve as an alternative to Ann Heisenfelt/AP File Photo the negative paths that the youths of the Virgin Islands FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL can take when there is little PLAYER MILT NEWTON, now general manager of else to occupy their time the Minnesota Timberwolves, was honored on “Milt Newton Day,” Aug. 7, in his native Virgin Please see HOOPS, page 3C Islands.

By Jeff Gordon St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The “Deflategate” controversy speaks volumes about NFL leadership these days.

The league let some trifling equipment shenanigans explode into a months-long scandal.

The league’s sloppy overreaction put Commissioner Roger Goodell on the spot.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady got litigious and Goodell’s most powerful ally, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, went rogue.

“The league’s handling of this entire process has been extremely frustrating and disconcerting,” Kraft told reporters during a news conference last month.

This fiasco raises a question: If Goodell and his people can’t resolve a dispute over slightly altered footballs without a big hoo-ha, how will they solve the complex Los Angeles relocation puzzle?

Somehow the NFL must negotiate a sensible outcome.

The league’s leaders can’t just throw this decision to an ownership vote and let the chips fall as they may. That could cause too much collateral damage.

Stan Kroenke’s voice will be heard loud and clear in this process. The NFL was getting nowhere in Los Angeles until he made the first move.

Finally somebody had the three elements necessary — franchise ownership, land ownership and bottomless pockets — to bring pro football back to that market after a two-decade absence.

Kroenke moved swiftly and decisively to plant his flag in Inglewood, Calif. This move shut down the Farmers Field campaign for downtown LA and spurred the Chargers and Raiders to bring the Carson concept to life.

And so here we are, with three teams and two stadiums on the board. By year’s end the league hopes to narrow this to two teams and one stadium.

Here are the variables: After letting Kroenke exploit the “out” clause in his stadium lease, St. Louis shifted gears. Dave Peacock is making wheels turn. The lawyers cleared one legal hurdle, prompting Mayor Francis Slay to join Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon’s bandwagon.

San Diego is also putting up a belated fight. Eric Grubman, the NFL’s relocation point man, threw that city a bouquet by noting that it has made “a significant amount of progress.” Like St. Louis, that has been a good NFL market.

But like the Rams, the Chargers are showing no interest in staying put in a new stadium.

Oakland is not putting up a fight. The city hasn’t put forth a serious stadium proposal.

Raiders are just a tagalong with the Chargers in this whole Carson deal. Franchise owner Mark Davis has no play, despite suffering the worst stadium situation in the league.

Conversely, Kroenke is formidable. Word is, he actually spoke to fellow owners Wednesday in Chicago. This was not just a stadium proposal, the Rams’ contingent said, but an entertainment center that could host other major events.

Kroenke won’t back down easily. NFL owners slighted him back in the day, after he joined the St. Louis expansion bid at the last minute. He responded by helping the Rams jump cities. You can expect him to flex more financial muscle while trying to win the race to LA.

St. Joseph, Mo. — After defeating Hodgkin lymphoma to return to the football field this month, it’s no surprise Chiefs safety Eric Berry is pretty popular these days.

According to a jersey report released by Dick’s Sporting Goods, Berry’s No. 29 jersey has risen from No. 103 to No. 43 in overall NFL jersey sales the past 30 days.

For what it’s worth, running back Jamaal Charles is still the highest-ranked Chief at No. 29 in the past 30 days, ahead of the likes of Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman (No. 31), Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan (No. 33) and Cincinnati receiver A.J. Green (No. 35).

Smith has surgery on jaw New York — New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith has had surgery on his broken jaw, two days after being punched by former teammate Ikemefuna Enemkpali.

The Jets announced that Smith, who coach Todd Bowles said was expected to be sidelined 6-10 weeks, underwent the procedure Thursday. Smith had plates and screws placed into his jaw, which has not been wired shut.

Smith will remain hospitalized overnight.

Meanwhile, the Jets are in Detroit for their preseason opener against the Lions. Ryan Fitzpatrick is starting at quarterback in Smith’s place.

Enemkpali was released shortly after the incident Tuesday and claimed off waivers by Buffalo, now coached by Rex Ryan, who drafted him last year in the sixth round with the Jets.

the upcoming season.

“The NBA takes great pride in our worldclass referee program and we are pleased to extend the league’s partnership with the NBRA for another seven years,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement.

“Recent efforts including state-of-the-art development and training programs, improved use of instant replay through the NBA Replay Center and unprecedented transparency concerning call accuracy have been instrumental in strengthening the game. We commend our officials for embracing these technological innovations and thank them for the high level of professionalism with which they perform their jobs.”

LeBron backs scholarships

Sandusky, Ohio — LeBron James is giving kids from Akron — ones with challenging backgrounds like his — the chance to go to college for free.

The NBA star has partnered with the University of Akron to provide a guaranteed four-year scholarship to the school for students in James’ “I Promise” program who qualify. The scholarship will cover tuition and the university’s general service fee — currently $9,500 per year.

It’s the latest example of James, who often refers to himself “as just a kid from Akron” giving back to a community that helped raise him.

“It’s the reason I do what I do,” said James, who announced the program Thursday while hosting an event for students at Cedar Point Amusement Park. “These students have big dreams, and I’m happy to do everything I can to Zimmer upset with Vikings help them get there.

Jayhawks add former UM lineman Hoops

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Landing a player at the midway point of preseason camp does not always qualify as a huge lift. But in the case of former Miami, Florida, defensive lineman Corey King, that’s exactly what it could be for the Kansas University football team.

The Journal-World learned Thursday afternoon that King, a 6-foot-1, 295-pound D-tackle, has been cleared to join the Jayhawks in time for the start of the 2015 season.

King, a Miami native out of West Boca Raton High, played in nine games as a freshman at UM in 2012, starting one and finishing with 13 tackles. He played in three games and made one tackle during his sophomore season in 2013 and missed all of last season because of injuries. King red-shirted in 2011.

Listed as a senior on the Miami roster, King, a recent graduate, is eligible to play immediately and is expected to have one season of eligibility remaining.

During his senior season at West Boca Raton, when he registered 56 tackles and seven sacks,

Outback Bowl, earned a spot in the annual South Florida high school football all-star game and was named All-Area for Palm Beach County.

His addition brings much needed size and experience to KU’s thinnest position. Senior Kapil Fletcher (6-3, 271) and red-shirt freshman Daniel Wise (6-3, 271) have been running with the first-team defense at the D-tackle spots. Though not as tall as either player, King has more bulk than both and also brings some much needed experience from a legitimate school.

“It showed me how to be a man,” King said of his time at Miami in a July interview with the Miami Herald. “You grow up fast, you meet a lot of people. It was a great experience.”

A source with knowledge of the situation said it was unclear whether King would be able to work his way into a starting role right off the bat — because of both the timing of his arrival and Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo KU coach David Beaty’s NEW KANSAS UNIVERSITY DEFENSIVE LINEMAN COREY KING desire to make guys earn everything they get — but slaps hands with his teammates on the sidelines during added that there was “no practice on Thursday. doubt” that King would King, a two-star pros- com, was selected to help KU’s D-Line immepect according to Rivals. the national team at the diately.

and energy,” Newton said.

Highlights of the ceremony included Newton’s wife playing a video she prepared for the occasion and Newton’s 50th birthday (on Aug. 25) and Milt’s daughter, Shaniya, reading a poem she wrote for dad. Milt’s son, Miles, also attended as well as Milt’s parents, Kent and Carmen Amos of Washington, D.C. “It meant a lot to me to have coach Brown there supporting me at the ceremony and to see my endeavor of our foundation coming to fruition,” Newton said of the current SMU coach who led KU to the ’88 crown. “I think very highly of coach Brown as he is a mentor to me and my coach. We’ve kept in close contact over the years. The sincerity in his message to the community on my behalf made my family, friends and I appreciative. Coach also appreciated the fact that I wanted him there for this special occasion.”

Brown also headlined a foundation-sponsored coaches clinic over the weekend. The message Brown relayed to the U.S.V.I. coaches?

“One of teaching for the love of teaching — that if you show you care about them, they will try their hardest for you,” Milt said. “He spoke about competing and playing hard, playing smart and having fun playing the game. He said they are in positions to touch many young lives in a positive way and help prepare them for life.”

Newton has a stated goal for his newly-formed foundation.

“It is a labor of love and has provided a vehicle for us to give back to the community and give hope to little boys

and girls that aspire to do something positive with their lives,” Milt said. “I want them to say, ‘If he can make it to that level and be successful, then I can make it as well because he started out where I’m starting out.’

Our hope is when others make it and are successful in life, then they too will return and help others. Based on their individual field of expertise, they will return to conduct medical camps, law camps, art and musician camps etc. etc. and be an inspiration to others following behind.”

Here is Gov. Mapp’s proclamation for Milt Newton Day: “Milton is heavily involved in charitable efforts and assists with the NBA’s ‘Basketball without Borders’ global basketball and community outreach program in South Africa and Senegal. Milton hosted four ‘Giving Up the Love’ basketball clinics in the Virgin Islands to teach fundamental skills to youths ages 8 through 18 in conjunction with the Virgin Islands Basketball Federation in which he is a consultant. Milton M. Newton has made the Virgin Islands, especially the island of St. Thomas, proud of his many career accomplishments and contributions to our Virgin Islands, which have significantly impacted the youth not only in the Virgin Islands, but the world. Accordingly, it is fitting and appropriate that we all honor and recognize Milton’s contribution.” l Mitch to visit: Mitch Lightfoot, a 6-8 senior forward from Gilbert (Arizona) Christian High, will make an official visit to KU Sept 18-20, Lightfoot tells Jayhawkslant. com. The country’s No. 140-rated player will visit Utah (Sept. 3-5), St. John’s (Oct. 2-4) and Arizona (Oct. 10). He’s already visited Stanford.

shoes to fill, but, with the coaches we have, we’ll be ready. And we are closer to being ready than I would’ve ever thought.”

Perry agreed, and said the key, from here on out, was allowing these guys to learn on their own.

“We’re kind of starting to (cut) down (on) telling the kids what to do a lot and letting them make the mistakes and correct them on film. Mentally, I don’t think we’re where we need to be, but they’re getting there. They want to win. That’s not the issue, it’s just mentally we don’t know how to push ourselves past that point to be great yet.”

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Mets maul Rockies, 12-3 The Associated Press

National League Mets 12, Rockies 3 New York — Curtis Granderson and Kelly Johnson each homered and drove in three runs, powering the New York Mets to a rout of Colorado that completed a fourgame sweep.

Noah Syndergaard recovered nicely from a rocky start for his latest win at Citi Field, where the Mets have won 10 straight against Colorado.

With their seventh consecutive home win and 11th in 13 games overall, the NL East leaders (6352) moved 11 games over .500 for the first time since June 27, 2010.

Johnson broke a 3-all tie with a two-out RBI double in the third inning. Granderson hit his 20th homer in the fourth, a two-run shot off struggling rookie Eddie Butler (3-10).

Johnson also doubled twice, including a twoout hit that broke a tie in the third inning. Granderson connected for his 20th homer in the fourth, a two-run shot off struggling rookie Eddie Butler (3-10).

Pinch-hitter Juan Lagares capped the offensive outburst, launching a three-run drive off reliever Tommy Kahnle in the eighth.

Syndergaard (7-6) went seven innings and improved to 7-1 at Citi Field, but the 22-yearold rookie labored early.

After entering with a 1.57 ERA in his own ballpark, he got tagged for first-inning homers by DJ LeMahieu and Nolan Arenado.

That snapped New York’s scoreless streak at 23 innings. It was the club’s longest since a run that lasted exactly as long in June 2012.

Syndergaard’s teammates responded right away. Granderson drew a leadoff walk and scored on the first of consecutive RBI doubles by Daniel Murphy, Juan Uribe and Johnson, who hit a sharp grounder through the infield shift.

Cubs 9, Brewers 2 Chicago — Kyle Schwarber hit two homers and drove in four runs, Jon Lester won his fourth straight decision and the Chicago Cubs beat Milwaukee for their seventh victory in a row.

Schwarber, Dexter Fowler and Anthony Rizzo each homered in the fifth inning as Chicago won for the 13th time in 14 games. The Cubs’ winning streak is their longest since 2011.

The Cubs, holding the lead for the second NL wild-card spot, completed their first undefeated homestand of at least seven games since 2008.

They began this stay at Wrigley Field by sweeping four from San Francisco, then took three from the Brewers.

Schwarber later connected in the seventh and has two multihomer performances in 31 games of his first season in the majors. Fellow rookie Kris Bryant extended his hitting streak to 10 games and Chris Denorfia later added the Cubs’ fifth homer of the day.

Lester (8-8) struck out 10 in six innings. He gave up two runs and seven hits.

Lester didn’t go at least seven innings for the first time since June 25 and his struggle with holding baserunners was exploited. He allowed five stolen bases — including four in the third.

The left-hander was charged with an error when his pickoff throw in the third sailed past Rizzo at first base, letting Jean Segura advance. Segura stole third with Lester holding the ball and scored on Ryan Braun infield’s single.

Tied at 1 in the fifth, Chicago broke through against Tyler Cravy (0-4) and Corey Knebel.

With one out, Fowler was credited with a tworun homer after his drive to right was originally called a double after it bounced off the wall behind the overhanging basket. Schwarber then followed with his seventh homer.

Pirates 10, Cardinals 5 St. Louis — Pedro Alvarez homered in a seven-run first inning and Pittsburgh broke an eight-game losing streak at Busch Stadium, beating St. Louis.

The Pirates moved within six games of the first-place Cardinals in the NL Central with their 12th victory in the last 18 games.

St. Louis, which won the first two games in the series, has won the last seven sets between the teams at Busch Stadium.

Alvarez and Neil Walker each three hits as the Pirates held on. The Cardinals closed their sevenrun deficit to 7-5 in the seventh.

Francisco Liriano (8-6) pitched six innings and gave up three runs and six hits.

Lance Lynn (9-7) got just two outs in the shortest of his 119 career starts.

He gave up six runs, and four of the runs were unearned after a throwing error by third baseman Matt Carpenter.

Walker started the outburst with a triple and Andrew McCutchen doubled. Jung Ho Kang reached on the error and Alvarez followed with his 17th home run of the season, a two-run drive to center.

Liriano and Gregory Polanco added RBI sin-

gles that finished Lynn, and Walker capped it by singling home a run.

The Cardinals got a two-run single from Yadier Molina in the bottom half.

Jhonny Peralta cut the deficit to 7-4 with a runscoring hit in the seventh off reliever Joakim Soria. Molina’s sacrifice fly brought the Cardinals to within 7-5.

Walker hit an RBI double during a three-run ninth.

American League Blue Jays 4, Athletics 2 Toronto — The surging Toronto Blue Jays won their 11th straight game Thursday, beating Oakland behind Mark Buehrle’s arm and Ryan Goins’ bat.

The AL East leaders, who also won 11 in a row in June, became the first team to post a pair of winning streaks of at least 11 since Cleveland in 1954. Toronto finished off a three-game sweep and hosts the second-place Yankees in a three-game set beginning Friday night. David Price starts the opener for the Blue Jays.

Buehrle (13-5) won his fourth straight decision and improved to 8-1 in 14 starts since May 29.

He allowed two runs and seven hits in seven-plus innings.

Blue Jays starters have permitted three earned runs or fewer in 17 straight games, one shy of the club record.

Roberto Osuna worked the ninth for his 12th save.

Goins hit a three-run homer during a fourrun second against Jesse Chavez (6-12). Chavez moved up a day to start in place of AL ERA leader Sonny Gray, who was scratched because of back spasms.

Rangers 6, Twins 5 Minneapolis — Mitch Moreland drove in four runs on a career-high four hits, including a tworun homer to help Texas avoid a sweep at Minnesota and rally past the Twins for a victory.

Elvis Andrus hit the go-ahead sacrifice fly in the eighth inning against Casey Fien (2-5) after Adrian Beltre and Moreland started the frame with singles.

Twins starter Ervin Santana squandered a 4-0 lead, thanks to the towering two-run shot by Moreland in the fourth and a two-run, go-ahead double by the first baseman in the fifth. Prince Fielder’s RBI single came right before that.

Yankees 8, Indians 6 Cleveland — Brian McCann hit a three-run homer, Stephen Drew also connected and the New York Yankees broke a five-game losing streak with a win over Cleveland.

New York remained a half-game behind Toronto, which has won 11 in a row, in the AL East. The teams begin a three-game series in Toronto on Friday night.

Limited to a total of six runs during their skid, the Yankees shook loose as McCann homered in the first inning. Drew hit a solo homer in the second, added an RBI double in the fourth and wound up scoring a career-high four runs.

ROYALS PITCHER JEREMY GUTHRIE THROWS IN THE FIRST INNING of Kansas City’s 7-6 loss to the Angels Thursday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

KC relievers blow second straight Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — C.J. Cron and Kole Calhoun each drove in a pair of runs in the ninth inning Thursday night, rallying the Los Angeles Angels past Kansas City and its stout bullpen for a 7-6 victory and an end to their seven-game skid against the Royals.

Kansas City had built a 5-1 advantage heading to the eighth, but AllStar reliever Wade Davis coughed up two runs in his first appearance since Aug. 6, when a stiff back put him on the shelf.

Greg Holland (3-1) entered in the ninth and gave up a leadoff single, a walk and threw a wild pitch. Cron followed with a pinch-hit double to tie the game, and after Johnny Giavotella singled, Calhoun added his go-ahead double into the right-field corner.

Holland then walked Mike Trout before he was finally pulled. The former All-Star closer allowed four runs and four hits and a pair of walks without retiring a batter.

Huston Street gave up Eric Hosmer’s solo shot in the ninth before getting Alex Rios to fly out with runners on first and second to end the game.

Street earned his 27th save with Albert Pujols — because of pinch hitters and substitutions — forced to play third base for the second time this season and only the 12th time since 2002.

Jose Alvarez (3-3) tossed 12⁄3 scoreless innings to earn the win.

Dustin Johnson has early PGA lead Sheboygan, Wis. (ap) — Rory McIlroy rolled up the right leg of his pants to take on a risky shot out of the water. Jordan Spieth, who seems to never miss putts, couldn’t make one.

Familiarity of the final major of the year came from Dustin Johnson. He was in the lead Thursday after the opening round of the PGA Championship, a spot he already has occupied after five of 13 rounds this year in the majors — just not on the day the trophy is awarded.

Bouncing back from a summer of disappointment, Johnson breezed his way to a 6-under 66 in moderate morning conditions at Whistling Straits and wound up with a one-shot lead over David Lingmerth of Sweden. Jason Day, who also knows about hard luck in the majors, and Matt Kuchar were in a large group at 68.

“We’ll just have to see what happens,” Johnson said. “It’s only the first round. We’ve still got a lot of golf to play.”

The main event was

McIlroy (No. 1) and Spieth (No. 2), who have won four of the last five majors and played in the same group.

Round 1 was a draw.

Both shot 71, a reasonable start considering the blustery conditions off Lake Michigan.

McIlroy, competing for the first time in 53 days because of an ankle injury, handled all of the par 5s even though one was just a par. But it was a big one. He pulled his third shot into the water and a double bogey looked likely. But his ball was sitting up in the water, so McIlroy rolled up his pant leg, splashed it out to 7 feet and saved par.

“The only thing I was trying not to do was get my feet wet,” McIlroy said. “Because if the water gets through this shoe, then the tape gets wet and then that would be a little more than just sort of annoying or uncomfortable for the rest of the day. But it was fine. It was a little bit deeper on the right side, so I just rolled my

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Girlfriend needs boyfriend’s support or it’s over Dear Annie: I am 18 years old and have been with my boyfriend for more than a year. We used to spend a bit too much time together and I know it wasn’t healthy, so we worked it out and now have new hobbies and see our friends a little more.

Everything is good except for one thing: his mother. She is recently divorced and when my boyfriend and I were spending a lot of time at her place, she was upset and miserable. We understood, so we would make dinner for her and keep the house clean, but she would never come out of her room. My boyfriend and I would eat dinner and converse.

One day, his mother came into the kitchen and apparently saw this closeness as a threat.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

She complained that she wasn’t getting any attention from her son and that I was stealing him away from her.

She prohibited me from coming over for weeks.

She still complains about me, saying I give her dirty looks and that I ignore her, even when I say hello every time I see her. She also tries to sabotage our dates.

Sometimes, she calls in the middle of a date and tells him to come home right away.

Networks hit summertime slump How slow is the TV schedule on a Friday night in August?

Let’s just say this might be your night to catch a rerun from the World Armwrestling League (8 p.m., ESPN 2). There’s also a repeat airing of the flag-raising ceremony at the U.S. Embassy in Cuba on C-SPAN (7 p.m.).

Yes, even C-SPAN is showing reruns. It’s that kind of night.

The only network not kneedeep in repeats is Syfy: Nolan’s liberation is not without complications on “Defiance” (7 p.m.); The Killjoys turn the tables on Khlyen on “Killjoys” (8 p.m.); and the field of corporate espionage grows crowded on “Dark Matter” (9 p.m.).

Everybody else appears to have hung up a Gone Fishin’ sign. Did I mention it was midAugust?

Not that there’s anything wrong with summer repeats.

For years, CBS used the downtime to promote a show called “NCIS,” a series with a healthy audience during the year that became the most-watched repeat series of the summer. Then it became the most watched series of all.

Which leads me to wonder about Fox. It had the breakout hit of the year in “Empire.” Unfortunately for Fox, and fans, its first season was only a dozen episodes. And Fox never aired “Empire” in repeats. You’d think during a summer when the network aired the ill-fated “Knock Knock Live,” Fox might build excitement for a second season of “Empire” with an encore helping, but it’s taken another strategy entirely.

You can still catch all 12 episodes of “Empire” on Hulu, but not on Fox. You certainly can’t say it’s been overexposed.

The second season of “Empire” begins on Sept. 23.

O As I noted earlier, the series “Animals LOL” (7 p.m., Discovery Family) has taken an if-you-can’t-beat-’em-join-’em approach to YouTube’s glut of cat videos by offering a solid hour of feline frolic.

Tonight’s other highlights

O Decadent Hollywood pals

(James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and Danny McBride) try to survive the stages of the biblical rapture in the self-indulgent 2013 satire “This Is the End” (7 p.m., FX).

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

O A teen targets every family member between her and an inheritance on “Deadly Women” (9 p.m., ID).

O Pete surveys designs from around the globe on “Treehouse Masters” (9 p.m., Animal Planet).

O Section 20 takes fire on all sides on “Strike Back” (9 p.m., Cinemax).

The worst part, though, is that she has such a strong influence on my boyfriend that he is beginning to believe that maybe we should break up. This devastates me. She is ruining our relationship.

I don’t know whether to speak to her about her behavior or leave it alone. I fear I’m not going to win this. — Lost Dear Lost: You won’t win if your boyfriend doesn’t back you up.

His mother seems very clingy, and this may be due to the divorce or it may be that she would not like any girl her son dated. Talk to your boyfriend. Let him know that if he doesn’t defend you to his mother, the relationship is over. Because, Honey, it will be.

Dear Annie: I am a member of a 12-step program organized to

Tonight: So many invitations.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) +++ You will accomplish a lot.

Listen to what is being shared.

Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.
