ra hays academy of hair design 20160314

GEORGETOWN, Texas – Sport Clips Haircuts awarded scholarships to 10 outstanding cosmetology students. The goal of the scholarships is to help the students gain skills, training and education to begin a successful career in the booming cosmetology industry. Sport Clips Haircuts is the nation’s leading men’s and boys’ hair care provider and the first hair care franchise to have a presence in all 50 states. The Georgetown, Texas-based company has more than 1,500 stores across the country and created the Access to Cosmetology Education (ACE) Scholarship Program to award scholarships to deserving students enrolled in American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS) member schools.

Sport Clips offers scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each to eligible and qualified students. Each recipient received the educational funds based upon the ability to meet academic and essay requirements. To date, Sport Clips has awarded more the $50,000 in scholarship money to promote quality cosmetology education across the country.

“Sport Clips is planning ahead, and we want to help our nation’s young talent do the same,” says Julie Vargas, senior director of career opportunities for Sport Clips Haircuts. “This country is experiencing a skills gap in various technical and specialized fields.

Our goal is to give back in the form of financial assistance to help students advance their education and careers.”

Yordano Ventura (4-2), who has struggled with walks all season, issued one free pass in 5 2/3 innings for Kansas City. He allowed four runs and seven hits before exiting with a one-run lead.

Orlando’s homer highlighted a three-run eighth that gave the Royals some breathing room.

Rick Porcello (6-2) gave up five runs, four earned, on eight hits and two walks for Boston. He lasted five-plus innings, his shortest start since going two innings against the White Sox last July.

BRIAN SCHUMACHER INTERVIEW

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Judge: Kansas can’t require citizenship proof to vote

voteWICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A judge says Kansas can’t require people to show proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote for federal elections at motor vehicle offices.

U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday in a lawsuit over Kansas’ proof-of-citizenship requirements. She put it on hold until May 31 so the state can appeal.

Robinson said that more than 18,000 eligible voters would be disenfranchised in the November federal election under the Kansas law.

The judge says Kansas’ requirements violate a provision in the National Voter Registration Act requiring only minimal information to determine voter eligibility.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach says he plans to appeal.

The American Civil Liberties Union says the ruling sends a signal to other states that may be considering similar registration requirements.

Roberts: DOD says GITMO Detainees Cannot be Moved to Kansas under Obama

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) on Tuesday issued the following statement about the Obama administration’s plans to relocate terrorist detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility to Ft. Leavenworth, KS:

“I have pledged to the people of Kansas that I would do everything in my power to stop President Obama from moving terrorist detainees to Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, the intellectual center of the Army. I believe today that I can tell Kansans that the threat from this administration will go unfulfilled.

“Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work, who would be responsible for leading the plans to relocate terrorist detainees at Ft. Leavenworth, assured me at a May 10 meeting that, ‘I am the person who would have to execute it [the moving of detainees to the mainland], and the clock has run out.’

“Now I want to be clear that I know this will not change the president’s on-going insistence that he will close the facilities before he leaves office.

“But I take Deputy Secretary Work at his word. He understands the significant and costly changes that would need to be made at Ft. Leavenworth to change the post’s mission. He understands the myriad of challenges that Ft. Leavenworth poses after reviewing earlier analyses. Most importantly, he understands the legal restrictions on funding to move the detainees to Ft. Leavenworth by January 20, 2017.”

In recent years, Congress has withheld funding for all detainee transfers to the mainland. Those same funding prohibitions are moving through the process now as the Congress considers funding for the new fiscal year beginning October 1.

Senator Roberts thanked Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.) for working with him to strengthen prohibitions on funding for the transfer of detainees to the mainland in this year’s National Defense Authorizations Act.

“Looking at the task before the administration, it is increasingly improbable that they can jeopardize our national security by bringing high-value terrorists and their associated risks to an American community like Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas.

“Because of assurances given to me by the Department of Defense and Congress’s continued opposition, today I have lifted my hold on the nomination of Eric Fanning to be the Secretary of the Army.

“I look forward to voting for Mr. Fanning who has always had my support for this position. My hold was never about his courage, character or capability, but rather about our nation’s security if the detainees were moved to Ft. Leavenworth. I believe Eric Fanning will be a tremendous leader for the Army, including those who serve at Ft. Leavenworth and Ft. Riley in my state. I thank Mr. Fanning for his efforts and look forward to working with him.”

“As the Secretary of Defense and the Attorney General have testified before Congress, moving detainees to the mainland is prohibited by law and will remain so through the end of this president’s term.”

Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, is the home to the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks, which houses military prisoners. Enemy combatants may not be housed with members of the U.S. military. Fort Leavenworth is also home to the Command and General Staff College, the Intellectual Center of the Army, where all Army officers study. The post is located in the town of Leavenworth, Kansas.

In March, Roberts introduced a Senate resolution formally rejecting President Obama’s plan to transfer prisoners from the Guantanamo Bay detention facilities to an alternate location in American communities. The resolution is cosponsored by Sens. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), Jerry Moran (R-Kansas), and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.). The full text of the resolution is available here.

Senator Roberts is the most senior Marine in the Congress. He was Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence from 2003-2007. He has visited Guantanamo Bay twice.
