‘Dual registration’ ruling might nullify law, attorney says

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Lawyers for Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s office and the American Civil Liberties Union continue to battle over a lawsuit that threatens to unravel a state law requiring new voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote.

The latest action in the case came late Friday when the ACLU filed Kobach a motion for summary judgment, seeking to declare the so-called “dual registration” system illegal.

Under that system, people who register using a federal form, which does not require proof of citizenship, may only vote in federal races.

Voters may only cast ballots in state and local races if they register using the state form, which requires documentary proof of citizenship.

In August, Shawnee County District Judge Frank Theis ruled that the case could go forward, despite Kobach’s argument that none of the plaintiffs in the case had standing to sue. And he strongly suggested that Kobach had no legal authority to implement what he called an “ad hoc” dual registration system.

Doug Bonney, legal director for the ACLU of Kansas, said a favorable ruling for his clients could render the entire proof-of-citizenship law meaningless because people who don’t have such documents, or who don’t want to produce them, can merely register to vote using the federal form, which only requires voters to attest under penalty of perjury that Please see VOTER, page 2A

Fourteen people filed applications to fill the vacant seat on the Lawrence City Commission.

City officials released the list shortly after the 5 p.m.

Wednesday deadline for submitting applications. The person chosen will serve out the unexpired term of former Commissioner Jeremy Farm- Riordan er, who resigned last month amid financial questions at Just Food, a local food bank where he worked as executive director.

The slate of candidates includes some former city commissioners and some Schauner who have run unsuccessfully for the commission in the past.

The 14 applicants, listed in the order in which they filed their applications, are: l Terry Riordan, a former city commissioner who was de- Morgan feated for re-election in the 2015 elections. l Scott Morgan, a former Lawrence school board member who ran unsuccessfully for the Kansas Senate in 2008 and for Kansas Secretary of State in 2014. l Jeffrey S. Southard l Allison Puderbaugh l David Schauner, who served two 2-year terms on the city commission from 2003 until 2007.

et out the zombie paint and brains recipes.

Lawrence’s Ninth Annual Zombie Walk is coming up. The date is set for Oct. 15 in downtown Lawrence. As in years past, hundreds of people dressed in zombie costumes gather at South Park at sunset and then parade down the sidewalks of Massachusetts Street.

Mike Logan of The Granada

is one of the major organizers of the event this year, and he is smart enough to know that you don’t do zombies in Lawrence without first going through City Hall. Commissioners at their meeting this week approved a permit that will allow The Granada to host a “zombie watch party” on a portion of the vacant Allen Press property in the 1000 block of Massachusetts Street.

The watch party will include music, a beer garden, food vendors and other entertainment suited for all ages. The event also includes opportunities for people to make donations, and this year’s major beneficiary is the Lawrence Humane Society.

(Expect a big crowd because the zombies are likely to read it as Human Society, which really gets them excited.)

they are U.S. citizens.

“I think that’s the meaning of Judge Theis’ previous order on the scheme that Secretary Kobach has created,” Bonney said.

Also on Friday, though, a new attorney representing Kobach’s office, Garrett Roe, filed a motion that seeks to have the case dismissed on appeal before the district court decides its merits.

Roe is the fifth attorney to enter an appearance in the case for Kobach’s office. Others have included Kobach himself; Kobach’s chief deputy Eric Rucker; and staff attorneys Thomas Knutzen and Bryan Brown.

According to Kobach’s spokesman Craig McCullah, Roe is a former student of Kobach’s who worked about seven years for the Washington-based Immigration Reform Law Center, where Kobach is also listed as an attorney “of counsel.”

He was hired last fall by Kobach’s office, where his official title is Public Administrator III in the Business Services Division, which handles corporate filings and registers public notaries, McCullah said.

According to court records, Roe has a temporary license to practice law in Kansas.

Since January 2013, Kansas has required new voters to show proof of citizenship to register to vote. Since then, more than 30,000 would-be voters have had their registrations placed “in suspense” because they have not provided the required documents.

Federal law, however,

Rankings

requires states to honor registrations that are filled out using a federal form, which does not require proof of citizenship. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year, in a case involving Arizona, that states cannot reject registrations made using the federal form, at least for purposes of federal elections.

In response, Kobach instituted the so-called “dual registration” system in which people using the federal form in Kansas could only vote in federal elections.

Bonney said about 100 people were affected by that system in the 2014 elections, including his clients Aaron Belenky of Johnson County and Scott Jones of Douglas County.

Kobach’s office argued that Belenky and Jones lacked standing to sue because the secretary of state’s office had gone to extraordinary lengths to find citizenship documents in order to get them fully registered.

But Theis ruled last month that they still had standing to sue, “notwithstanding their newly, yet involuntarily, acquired status as full and unencumbered voters in the eyes of the Secretary.” He said that because their lawsuit is a test case, they still have standing to assert a claim that their federal form registrations should be given full legal recognition in Kansas.

Additionally, Theis said Kobach enacted the dual registration system without going through the required rules and regulations process, and that the Kansas Legislature had never given him the authority to enact such rules.

Theis has not said when he plans to rule on either of the two latest motions.

Makerspace hosting suicide prevention event

By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark59

The second annual “Words Save Lives” event will take place this evening, in honor of World Suicide Prevention Day. From 7 to 11 p.m., more than 30 poets, storytellers, comedians and musicians will perform at the Lawrence Creates Makerspace, 512 E. Ninth St. An open mic period is scheduled from 11 p.m. to midnight.

The event is hosted by stand-up comedian Chance Dibben, the Lawrence Art Guild, Lawrence Creates Makerspace and Marcia Epstein, a licensed master social worker who specializes

in suicide prevention and bereavement support.

“This event reminds us that art is a means to increase safety and wellbeing by bringing people together to experience that we are not totally alone in our experiences, thoughts, feelings,” Epstein wrote on the event’s Facebook page.

Musical performances planned for the evening include Darrell Lea, Tides For Aviation, Clay Burkhead and Vigil And Thieves, a Kansas City, Mo.-based band.

Comedians scheduled to perform, in addition to Dibben, include Ed Parker, Amber Lehman and Chop Reynolds.

Free State Brewing Co. will be selling refresh-

ments on site.

According to a World Health Organization report, someone in the world dies by suicide every 40 seconds. More than 800,000 people die by suicide across the world each year.

The International Association for Suicide Prevention first designated Sept. 10 as World Suicide Prevention Day in 2003.

The event hopes to “build connection, through compassionate communication and fun,” according to its Facebook

page, which can be found by searching “Words Save Lives V.9.10.2015.”

It also has a full listing of performers.

Anyone struggling with suicidal thoughts can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800273-TALK (8255) at any time, or visit its website at suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

The local Headquarters Counseling Center can be reached directly at 841-2345 or through its website, headquarterscounselingcenter.org.

Five acres of land at the Hamm Eudora Quarry No. 68 will be reclaimed for storage instead of being quarried, Douglas County commissioners unanimously agreed Wednesday at their weekly meeting.

In April 2014, the commission approved a plan that stated that once the current phase of quarrying was finished in the area at 1232 East 2300 Road, the plot would be reclaimed and seeded with grass.

Now the 5-acre plot will be used as a storage area and not reclaimed until all quarrying on the property is finished.

Lawrence-Douglas County Planner Marry Miller said there have been comments on dusty road conditions,

but the change approved Wednesday shouldn’t make the issue worse.

To help relieve dust problems, Miller said, the county will post signs prohibiting trucks weighing more than 5 tons along that stretch of East 2300 Road. A study will be conducted on the speeds of vehicles driving on North 1200 Road, reducing the speeds if necessary, Miller said. And portions of the road will be treated with a dust palliative to combat the issue.

Douglas County commissioners meet at 4 p.m. each Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. The meetings are open to the public.

Going Out A guide to what’s happening in Lawrence

ROCKER REINVENTION —————

Albert Hammond Jr., guitarist from The Strokes, to bring defining sound to the Bottleneck

By Fally Afani Special to the Journal-World

If you’re heading to the Bottleneck this Sunday, you better gussy up and bring your dancing shoes.

Albert Hammond Jr., known as the energetic and speedy rhythm guitarist from The Strokes, is coming through Lawrence armed with a new album full of upbeat and entirely danceable tunes.

The man has made a name for himself as a quick and nimble-fingered guitarist who churns out albums full of snappy numbers, increasing his speed ever so slightly with every album.

“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve always pushed the song to be faster first,” he says. “Funny thing, I did everything in reverse.

The band you get into in high school, I got into in my 30s.”

Hammond has spent more than a decade improving his craft. Three studio albums and one EP later, he’s finally got “Momentary Masters.” If he was looking for something that could set him apart as a musician from his work in The Strokes, this is the record that will do it.

The album’s introductory track, “Born Slippy,” makes the tone clear from the beginning: This is a fun album. Every recurring listen leaves the listener recognizing something new. Getting to this point was sort of a process of elimination for Hammond.

“I need to make something that sounds like something I want to hear,” he says. “It’s something you feel in your gut.

Once you stop liking everything that you do, then you just start picking the things that you think could be really cool. In that process, things happen. As you do it more and more, you start to realize when they’re happening and how to run with them.”

Style and substance Perfecting his defining sound isn’t the only talent Hammond started to run with. Very early in his career with The Strokes, he was recognized as a snappy dresser. The man

in the three-piece suits also helped influence the style of those surrounding him. Naturally, the next step was to launch his own line of suits. Between touring with The Strokes and releasing his own solo material, the busy bee somehow managed to team up with stylist Ilaria Urbinati.

“It just seemed fun, and it was fun. We got to hang out and pick fabrics and design different cuts. After I bought a suit somewhere, I would take it to the tailor and totally redo it. I thought, ‘Instead of doing that, why don’t I make my own?’” he says.

“I learned a lot from that process. It didn’t seem like it was that draining.”

His suits were well-received, and even donned

by Ryan Gosling in the movie “Crazy Stupid Love.” Hammond has always found a way to perfectly balance his musical work with his dedication to fashion, but looking good never goes out of style.

“In the mid to late-

OFF THE BEATEN PLATE

’60s, a musician wasn’t just an entertainer. They became a rock star,” he says, noting how owning a sense of style was also a way to connect with the right peers. “When I was younger, that seemed exciting. If I tried to live the dream every day, then maybe I would find people who are like me.

It was just a way to find people, I guess. It was my way of finding people.”

Balancing his best You can bet that even through something as difficult and grueling as touring, Hammond will be dressed well. He came through Kansas City not too long ago, and now has his sights set on Lawrence.

Hammond has toured the world with The Strokes, but playing the Midwest and smaller markets is something he holds in high regard.

“I like touring America, and I like going to these different cities.

That’s why I keep going back, to see if I can break there and be able to go through. I don’t want to just be a coast-city player,” says Hammond, recalling his talkative nature at his most recent Kansas City show. “It was very friendly. I got to really just talk to the audience, and we all hung out afterwards.”

This is really a giveand-take relationship.

He may have endless mass exposure and world tours behind him, but it wasn’t until this most recent album that he felt more “sure” about what he was doing.

“With this record, I’m seeing if I can stand on my own two feet, if I can be wanted by people, if I can continue doing it as a profession,” he says. “There’s a balance.

There’s things you’re doing for yourself, and it’s also a form of entertainment. You’re mixing these two sides. It’s what I know and it’s what I love to do.”

Hammond previously toured solo, but now he’s teamed up with a backing band that earned his seal of approval.

“I want to see if when I think I’m at my best, if I can succeed at it, if the music and the band can stand on their own two feet. I think making records and touring is a gift, it’s not a give. It’s like earning the right to do it,” he says. “I gotta go step by step. I always makes music, it’s just in me. I can’t help it. As long as there’s an audience for me, I’d like to be doing it.”

Hampton and a third Public Library defendant, Caleb ChrisSee story, 1A man, 22, of Grain Valley, Mo., are charged with aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery and three counts of aggravated kidnapping. Long is charged with the same, plus one criminal possession of a firearm charge.

Hawley testified Wednesday that he knew Long through a friend for about a year and a half, and the two had made Robert Parker, drug transactions in the paraprofessional, past. On Feb. 8, Long Lawrence “Captain Spaulding from ‘The Devil’s Rejects.’ He’s creepy and comical.”

— Phillip Hawley, attack victim came to Hawley’s residence — the basement of 1621 W. 19th Terrace — and purchased Xanax from Hawley. After the transaction, Long left and Perez came over to study.

Soon after, the attack happened, according to Hawley.

“About an hour later, (Long) and an accomplice barged into the basement with guns in front of them,” Hawley said.

“There were no illusions why they were there. We had our nose(s) in books and they had guns in our face(s) before we even knew what was coming,” Hawley said.

Hawley and Perez said that after Long and a man believed to be Chrisman entered, they ordered the students to get on the floor. But when Hawley

Long then allegedly grabbed a shotgun from the home, and the two suspects then left. Peterson called police as Perez tended to Hawley, holding his legs up and trying to keep him from losing consciousness, the victims testified.

Earlier that day, Hampton was driving a silver car when Long and another man pulled guns on a different man attempting to buy $100 worth of marijuana from Long, according to court testimony. That man was not injured, but had to surrender his iPhone, cash and wallet to the suspects.

Hampton was arrested with Long in Las Vegas in March after a warrant was issued for their arrests.

The preliminary hearing will continue today with testimony by Chrisman. Chrisman has not yet had a preliminary hearing.

The three codefendants are currently in the Douglas County Jail.

saw Long allegedly reach for some zip-ties, Hawley stood up.

“I was not about to be zip-tied in my own house,” Hawley testified.

“I did not think that the perpetrators were really going to fire off.”

But Long, in fact, did, with at least one bullet grazing Hawley’s ear and neck, causing them to bleed and later scar, according to Hawley. After that, Hawley got down on the ground again.

The incident continued as Perez was shot in the buttock, the bullet passing through his body and out through his abdomen, Perez said. Then, Seth Peterson, who lives above Hawley on the main floor of the home, came downstairs and confronted the intruders.

Peterson said he did not comply with the demands to get on the floor, so he was struck in the head several times with a gun. He fell to his knees, and a “warning shot” was let out. Soon after, someone shot Peterson in the arm.

“I thought it was some college prank and they had paintball guns,” Peterson said. “I was wrong.”

Amid the turmoil, Long allegedly pulled Hawley into Hawley’s bedroom demanding his “stash” of cash and drugs, Hawley testified. The other man (allegedly Chrisman) stayed in the room while brandishing a gun, watching over Perez and Peterson.

Inside his room, Hawley gave Long marijuana, marijuana concentrates, “pills” and drug profits, Hawley said. After Long got what he wanted, he made Hawley lie facedown on the ground and shot him in the back, Hawley said. The bullet passed through his

If trust is strong, ex-wife is no problem Dear Annie: My husband is planning a trip to a major theme park.

It was supposed to include the two of us, plus his three adult children and their families.

Here’s the problem: When I could not take the time off from work, his children invited their recently widowed mother. Although we have a civil relationship with her, I do not feel this is appropriate. My husband doesn’t share my concerns and is booking the trip anyway.

I considered giving him some sort of ultimatum, but I doubt it would change his mind.

My main concerns are his ex’s ability to twist the truth and what others may think. Any advice? — Left Behind Dear Left Behind: Your husband should never have agreed to this without your OK.

Instead, the appropriate thing to do would be to rearrange the trip when you were available. Nonetheless, your concern now should be whether he can be trusted. If so, you can weather this.

If you can take off a couple of days and join them for part of the trip, we recommend it, but please ignore the gossip. If others question this, simply laugh and say, “I wasn’t worried about it for a second.”

Netflix rescues ‘Longmire’ When you’re a raging success, you can be too cool for school, or pretend that you don’t care about being cool at all. Netflix has changed the face of television. It can champion series like “House of Cards” and “Orange Is the New Black” and never have to reveal how many people watch. The shows seem to float above mere ratings, propelled by critical adulation and “buzz.”

In addition to not revealing, or not caring, about the size of a show’s audience, Netflix has also brushed away concerns about the age of its viewers. This became abundantly clear when Netflix rescued “Longmire.” The fourth 10-episode season of “Longmire,” starring Robert Taylor and Katee Sackhoff, will start airing today in its entirety on Netflix.

“Longmire” had plenty of passionate fans and many critical admirers during its three-season cable run. But A&E has advertisers to please and they tend to get restless when an audience is not large enough, or young enough, to justify their rates.

The folks at Netflix have declared themselves happy to take subscription fees from people of any vintage.

The New England Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers as the NFL season begins (7:30 p.m., NBC).

Once again, an air of lawlessness hangs over the football season. This time, it is a judge’s decision late last week to dismiss the league’s suspension of New England quarterback Tom Brady for deflating footballs before a game. “Deflategate” has generated controversy, but NFL players have been accused of much worse.

For the record, this is a Thursday night installment of NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.” CBS’ “Thursday Night Football” kicks off next week with a game between the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Tonight’s other highlights

Briggs’ motives are explained on “Graceland” (9 p.m., USA).

A former talk show host shares stand-up thoughts on “Craig Ferguson: Just Being Honest” (9 p.m., Epix).

Dear Annie: Your response to “No One To Share This With” wasn’t strong enough. Her husband was viewing porn.

I know how she feels.

I recently discovered that my 57-year-old husband, to whom I’ve been married for 34 years, was viewing Internet porn. It took me three months to get the full truth from him because he was so ashamed.

We always had a loving relationship, but during this time I noticed he was more distant and less affectionate. When I discovered his porn viewing, I was humiliated and hurt.

He broke my trust. It is not OK to view porn. It is infidelity. It is disrespectful. It sets up unrealistic expectations. I am trim and attractive, but at 54, I cannot compete with 20-year-olds.

My husband regrets

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You might be bombarded by a call in the morning from someone who wants to use you as a sounding board. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You know better than to spread yourself too thin. Slow down; prioritize. Tonight: Consider this coming weekend.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You might be so busy on the phone that you could miss what is going on around you. Make some time for yourself. Tonight: Your favorite spot.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) What is happening around you allows you to step back and consider what you would do in the same situation. Everything will work out. Tonight: Do some shopping.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Even if you run into a problem, you will find the words to allow everyone to move on.

Tonight: Be physical.

what he has done. He has taken full responsibility, saying I did nothing to cause him to turn to porn. He voluntarily surrendered his computer and smartphone so I could set restrictions on those sites.

We started counseling individually and as a couple, and I am working on forgiving him. This should not be tolerated and should be addressed immediately.

— Rebuilding in L.A. Dear L.A.: Spouses have different tolerance levels for porn. It is not only easily accessed on one’s computer or phone, but that it is also interactive. It interferes with one’s relationships in real time. We’re glad you’re working on this.

You might want to consider stopping this habit — it is not good for you. Tonight: Leader of the gang.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will be in the mood to let others deal with the details of a certain situation rather than handling them yourself. Tonight: Surprises await you!

EDITORIALS

Expansion plans Expanding the west leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway is proving to be much more complicated than many people expected.

W

hen the western half of the South Lawrence Trafficway was built as a “super two” highway, the expectation was that the road later would be expanded to a four-lane road.

With that in mind, most local residents probably assumed that the SLT, which also is designated as part of Kansas Highway 10, was being designed in a way that would make it relatively easy to just add another two lanes of traffic at a later date.

Well, think again.

Now that engineers at the Kansas Department of Transportation are starting to draw up plans for the bypass expansion, they are finding all kinds of issues with the original road that need to be fixed. Some of those “fixes” are needed to improve the safety of the road, but others would change the SLT and Turnpike traffic patterns in ways that many local residents may question.

Some wonder whether the changes are necessary and others may wonder why some of the problems that are being cited now weren’t apparent to the original designers of the road.

One trouble area that clearly needs attention is the current intersection at 27th Street and Wakarusa Drive near the Youth Sports Complex. To improve safety at the heavily traveled location, KDOT is recommending eliminating the SLT interchange at that location and replacing it with either an overpass or underpass. A new interchange would be built further east with a road that would connect to Wakarusa. These revisions are included in both options KDOT has presented for public consideration.

Both of those options also include eliminating the substandard access to the SLT at Kasold Drive, which seems reasonable.

Plans get more questionable, however, where the SLT crosses Clinton Parkway and turns north. Thankfully, KDOT isn’t suggesting any changes at the Bob Billings interchange, which hasn’t even opened yet, or at Sixth Street. However, they are looking at major changes at Clinton Parkway and at the county road known as the Farmers Turnpike. Clinton Parkway poses a couple of concerns for KDOT officials. First, the sharp curve at that location creates safety concerns, which raises the question: Why was it designed that way in the first place?

KDOT engineers also are considering eliminating the relatively low-traffic interchange at Clinton Parkway and building a road to connect Clinton Parkway traffic to the Bob Billings interchange.

That will complicate access to the SLT for residents in southwest Douglas County as well as access from the SLT to Clinton Lake. It also heightens the concern of people who already are worried about how much the new interchange will increase traffic on Bob Billings.

Engineers also are looking at new configurations for the turnpike interchange at the SLT’s west end that would eliminate access from the Farmers Turnpike. To accommodate that change, a new turnpike interchange would be built several miles to the west to connect with County Road 1029, just south of Lecompton. Building a new interchange would be an expensive solution to a problem that many local residents may not think is severe. It would create new access from Lecompton to the turnpike, but make access from Lecomtpon to the SLT more difficult.

It’s discouraging to have KDOT considering so many major and expensive changes to a road that has only been open for 20 years. If this section of the SLT is going to be rebuilt, KDOT should do it right, but the number of changes being proposed make us wonder what new problems another set of KDOT engineers will find another decade or two down the road.

Some of his rivals for the nomination, disoriented by their fear and envy of him, are making the GOP seem like the party of boneless wonders.” ly knows better. He clerked for Chief Justice William Rehnquist and must remember the 1892 case in which a Massachusetts policeman claimed that rules restricting political activity by police violated his constitutional rights. Rejecting this claim, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court wrote that the officer “may have a constitutional right to talk politics, but he has no constitutional right to be a policeman.”

Trump, the tone-setter of today’s GOP, recently chastised Jeb Bush for answering in Spanish a question that was asked in Spanish. Trump said Bush “should really set the example by speaking English while in the United States.”

Trump presumably deplores the fact that a leading Illinois Republican politician in the

late 1850s bought one of the region’s many German-language newspapers, and even briefly took German lessons.

Abraham Lincoln did so, says Harold Holzer in “Lincoln and the Power of the Press,” in order to “boost his appeal to the most important voting bloc in his region.” Somehow, Americans of German extraction — the largest group of Americans — seem to have assimilated even though Lincoln set a sinister “example.”

In an extended recent riff on how great and loved he is (“Kanye West ... loves Trump.

He goes around saying ‘Trump is my all-time hero.’

He says it to everybody.”) and on subordinate matters, Trump cited, as evidence that “our country is being killed on trade,” this: “They have in Japan the biggest ships you’ve ever seen pouring cars into Los Angeles, pouring them in.

I’ve never seen anything like it. We send them beef, and they don’t even want it. It’s going to end, and they’re going to like us.”

Well. Leaving aside Japan’s strange willingness to purchase unwanted beef, most Japanese vehicles that pour into America do so from plants in America.

The vehicles are assembled

by Americans using mostly American parts.

So, after Iowa’s evangelicals have plumbed Trump’s theological depths (“When we go in church and I drink the little wine, which is about the only wine I drink, and I eat the little cracker — I guess that’s a form of asking

forgiveness”), South Carolinians can evaluate his America-can’t-compete, trade-iskilling-us campaign. There, his woe-is-us narrative will collide with cheerful realities that Republican Gov. Nikki Haley recently described in a Washington speech: Flat-screen TVs are made in Winnsboro, bicycles are made in Manning (the New Jersey company moved its manufacturing there from China), and five foreign-owned tire companies (Michelin, Bridgestone, Continental, Giti Tire and Trelleborg) manufacture in the state. So do Mercedes and, in 2018, Volvo. South Carolina has what Germany does not have — the world’s largest BMW plant, from which vehicles pour at a rate of one every minute.

Recently Trump told MSNBC that, after his speech the day before, “The CNN reporter said it was the single greatest political speech she’s ever heard.” Asked which reporter, he said: “I don’t know her name. But she was wearing a beautiful red dress.”

National Review’s Jim Geraghty reports that CNN says neither of its correspondents at the Trump event wore red.

Novelist Mary McCarthy said of playwright Lillian Hellman, “Every word she writes is a lie, including ‘and’ and ‘the.’” If that was so, Trump is not even an original.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Sept. 10, 1915: years “The sample ago white way pole IN 1915 and light which was sent to Lawrence this week by the King Foundry company of St. Joseph, Mo., has been erected in front of the entrance to the city hall where it may be inspected by every one interested. The city officials are planning to run current to the pole today and to give a demonstration this evening of just what an installation of this type will do in lighting up the street.”

Native sunflowers?

To the editor: After driving on K-10 last week and seeing very, very few native sunflowers, I was heartened yesterday to see a few patches on U.S. 59 south toward I-35, especially in the fields away from the highway’s edge. Then on I-35 South there were some sunflowers blossoming along the overpasses and bridges and a few big patches at exit 183 and 141. But compared to years past, the sunflower show was meager.

Where have all the native sunflowers gone? Is it KDOT’s mowing, especially at seed-setting time? Is it Round Up poison? Does anyone know, because the abundance of our sunflowers in September used to be one of the glories of eastern Kansas.

Accept refugees To the editor: Nearly 12 million people have been displaced by the ravages of war in the Middle East, with Syria being the heart of the displacement and brutality. Half of the Syrian refugees are children, most of them under the age of 11.

Many Syrian refugees have fled to surrounding countries: 1.8 million to Turkey; 1.2 million to Lebanon and others to Jordan, Iraq and Northern Africa. We are now seeing hundreds of thousands fleeing to Europe, many losing their lives along the way.

Some European countries have made commitments to take refugees: France

global level. One columnist observed, “Science is like a compass. It can tell us where north is, but it can’t tell us if we want to go north. That’s where our morality comes in.” A majority of American Christians view climate change as real, but less than a third understand that the world’s poor people are already being harmed by it. The pope reminds us that “Greater stewardship of God’s creation is necessary, and … a Christian, who does not protect creation, is a Christian who does not care about the work of God.” He says: “Saving the environment is saving humanity, particularly the poor, who are disproportionately impacted by global warming.”

He expresses concerns about consumerism and unsustainable consumption, loss of biodiversity and the issues of water and climate as a common good. “We can leave our children and grandchildren a world that is still beautiful, nourishing and healthy.” It’s a hopeful call asking us to intervene in our world and reconsider our mastery and instead consider ecology through civic and political love. This pope is an extraordinary man.

— 24,000 over two years; Britain — 20,000 over four years; and, leading the pack, Germany — 800,000 this year.

Germany has also pledged $6.6 billion to care for those entering their country.

And America? We have averaged taking in 450 Syrian refugees per year over the last four years. The U.S. is party to a 1951 international compact that says countries will not turn away refugees fleeing wars and human rights abuses.

The U.S. helped create this Middle East crisis by the unprovoked invasion of Iraq and by standing aside as Syria slaughters its own people, even after it crossed our own established “red line” by using poisonous gas on its citizens.

Shame on us! Come on, my fellow citizens, let us insist that our government honor international compacts and, more importantly, provide the necessary moral leadership by providing not only the cash but also the safety of our shores to these endangered refugees as has been a part of our once proud history.

Topeka — The Kansas Supreme Court will hear oral arguments next week in a case challenging the city of Wichita’s new ordinance decriminalizing simple marijuana possession.

Oral arguments in the case are scheduled for the morning of Sept. 17.

WASHINGTON Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Tea Party Republicans came together Wednesday to denounce a landmark foreign policy deal that is quickly becoming a major 2016 campaign issue: the Iran nuclear agreement.

“We are led by very, very stupid people,” Trump told several hundred Tea Party members gathered on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol, calling the Iran deal “incompetently” negotiated.

Saying Iran will not honor its commitment to forgo nuclear weapons, Cruz told the crowd that the Iran deal represents “the single greatest national security threat facing America.”

Cruz, a Texas senator, noted that the deal eliminates economic sanctions on Iran, providing it millions of dollars to finance terrorist activities, and effectively making the Obama administration “the world’s largest financier of radical Islamic terrorism.”

Both Republican candidates made campaign pitches as part of their anti-agreement speeches.

Trump pledged to negotiate better deals on a variety of topics, from trade to foreign policy.

“We will have so much winning if I get elected, that you may get bored with winning,” the New York businessman said at one point.

For his part, Cruz said “a new president” will confront Iran over its misbehavior.

Obama and aides said the agreement — in which the U.S. and allies reduce sanctions as Iran gives up the means to make

nuclear weapons — is the best way to prevent the Tehran regime from obtaining a nuclear arsenal.

White House officials said Cruz and other speakers at the rally are using false arguments to defame the agreement.

Opponents “have gone to great lengths to derail this deal,” said White House spokesman Eric Schultz. “They’ve done so by using many of the same arguments that date back to the 2002 decision to invade Iraq.”

The Tea Party rally came the same week that Obama secured enough congressional voters to block Republican attempts to void the Iran agreement.

While Cruz and other speakers denounced Obama’s push for the agreement, they also sought to put pressure on Republican congressional leaders to somehow stop the deal from going into effect.

In a Senate floor speech earlier Wednesday, Cruz said the “terrible deal” with Iran “will not stop a virulently anti-American and anti-Israeli regime from getting a nuclear bomb.”

Several hundred opponents of the agreement gathered in 90-degree weather to hear Cruz, Trump and other Tea Party leaders denounce the Iran nuclear deal as members of the House and Senate debated it.

Earlier in the day, former secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton endorsed the agreement.

If Iran cheats, Clinton said, as president she would “not hesitate to take military action” to block Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

All the Republicans oppose the Iran deal. The Tea Party rally, however, brought together two Republican presidential candidates in Cruz and Trump who have spoken well of each other in an otherwise fractious race.

Cyberattackers successfully compromised the security of U.S. Department of Energy computer systems more than 150 times between 2010 and 2014, according to a review of federal records obtained by USA TODAY. Incident reports submitted by federal officials and contractors since late 2010 to the Energy Department’s Joint Cybersecurity Coordination Center shows a near-consistent barrage of attempts to breach the security of critical information systems that contain sensitive data about the nation’s power grid, nuclear weapons stockpile and energy labs.

The records, obtained by USA TODAY through the Freedom of Information Act, show DOE components reported a total of 1,131 cyberattacks over a 48-month period ending in October 2014. Of

“The potential for an adversary to disrupt, shut down (power systems) or worse … is real here,” said Scott White, professor of homeland security and security management and director of the computing security and technology program at Drexel University.

“It’s absolutely real.”

Energy Department officials would not say whether any sensitive data related to the operation and security of the nation’s power grid or nuclear weapons stockpile was accessed or stolen in any of the attacks, or whether foreign governments are believed to have been involved.

“DOE does not comment on ongoing investigations or possible attributions of malicious activity,” Energy Department spokesman Andrew Gumbiner said in a statement. v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Police fear protests are sparking backlash against cops Bart Jansen @ganjansen USA TODAY

Police officials are voicing fear that anti-cop protests across the USA have sparked shootings of law enforcement officers and created a climate of distrust between the public and police.

“The opportunity for officers to let down their guard, maybe show a little more empathy – that is all lost when you have these situations,” said Terrence Cunningham, police chief in Wellesley, Mass., and first vice president of the International Association of

Chiefs of Police. “That becomes very, very difficult when officers see their brother and sister officers essentially being assassinated and being ambushed.”

Recent shootings include: uA Las Vegas officer shot in the hand Sunday while sitting in his car at an intersection. A suspect was captured nearby. uThe Sept. 1 death of Fox Lake, Ill., Lt.

non Miles, 30, has been charged with capital murder.

Donald Charles Hummer, an associate professor of criminal justice at Pennsylvania State University, said gunmen’s motives might never be known, but violence is usually localized and personal. “These perpetrators had to have a buildup of anger compounding resentment before the past few weeks,” Hummer said.

The deaths have spurred public sympathy. McKinley Zoellner, 16, offered to protect Harris County Deputy Tommi Kelley while she pumped gas — and a selfie of the pair went viral.

The shootings come during a

year when cities such as Houston, St. Louis and Baltimore each had significant spikes in homicides — after years of plummeting crime statistics, according to an analysis by the Associated Press.

Cunningham said tensions are highest in his 35 years of police work in part because some police critics have urged people “to pick up the pitchforks” rather than break down barriers between police and communities.

“I do think there is some of that Ferguson effect where some of the officers are afraid to do their job,” he said. “They are afraid to use force when necessary and appropriate.”

USA TODAY GOP POWER RANKINGS WEEK 2

Fiorina is the biggest winner this week Rise attributed to ‘more awareness’ of candidates

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina greets supporters at the Labor Day Parade on Monday in Milford, N.H. “She’s moved up (in ranking), and rightly so,” says former presidential candidate Herman Cain, who is among our panel of political experts.

Paul Singer USA TODAY

If Donald Trump is looking in his rearview mirror, he will see Carly Fiorina gaining on him.

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO has had several good weeks, and our political experts now have her in third place in the GOP 2016 power rankings. In the second week of our rankings, our panel has Fiorina moving up from sixth place to third, while Florida Sen. Marco Rubio drops from third to the sixth-place spot she vacated.

What has changed since last week?

“More awareness of stronger candidates like Carly Fiorina,” said talk-show host and former presidential candidate Herman Cain. “She’s moved up, and rightly so.”

Deb Lucia, a Kansas Tea Party activist, agreed. “Biggest winner this week is Fiorina,” she said.

“The CNN debate controversy put her in the spotlight and many people took a look at her for the first time and liked what they saw.”

While the rest of our field largely held their positions this week, the next couple of weeks are likely to have a significant impact on the standings. For example, Emory University professor Andra Gillespie said, “Looking ahead, it will be interesting to see if Mike Huckabee can generate any additional support in the

polls as a result of the earned media he is getting for supporting Kim Davis in Kentucky.” Davis is the Kentucky county clerk who went to jail rather than issue marriage licenses to gay couples.

Huckabee stood beside her as she walked out of jail Tuesday.

And the second GOP debate is Sept. 16, which could seal the fate of some of the lower-tier candidates. “Is there a rank lower than 17?” asks former Democratic congressman Dan Maffei. He notes that Jeb Bush is benefiting from the fact that none of the other candidates with political experience has managed to generate a

lot of enthusiasm.

Trump remains No. 1 in our poll by a wide margin, with 22 first-place votes. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson continues to do well with five first-place votes, Jeb Bush got two, and one voter chose Rubio as the strongest candidate this week. Also, cooler heads warn against getting excited just yet. “After months of campaigning and media coverage, this race is just beginning,” said Nathan Gonzales of the Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report.

“There is a long time between now and February, when people start making real choices.”

Hackers became ‘super users’ in many cases v CONTINUED FROM 1B

In all cases of malicious cyber security activity, Gumbiner said the Energy Department “seeks to identify indicators of compromise and other cyber security relevant information, which it then shares broadly amongst all DOE labs, plants and sites as well as within the entire federal government.”

The National Nuclear Security Administration, a semiautonomous agency within the Energy Department responsible for managing and securing the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile, experienced 19 successful attacks during the four-year period, records show.

While information on the specific nature of the attacks was redacted from the records prior to being released, numerous Energy Department cyber security vulnerabilities have been identified in recent years by the department’s Office of Inspector General, an independent watchdog agency.

After a cyberattack in 2013 resulted in unauthorized access to personally identifying information for more than 104,000 Energy Department employees and contrac-

tors, auditors noted “unclear lines of responsibility” and “lack of awareness by responsible officials.”

In an audit report released in October of last year, the Inspector General found 41 Energy Department servers and 14 workstations “were configured with default or easily guessed passwords.”

Felicia Jones, spokeswoman for the Energy Department Office of Inspector General, said while there have been some improvements, “threats continue and the Department cannot let down its guard.”

Records show 53 of the 159 successful intrusions from October 2010 to October 2014 were “root compromises,” meaning perpetrators gained administrative privileges to Energy Department computer systems.

Manimaran Govindarasu, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Iowa State University who studies cyber security issues involving the power grid, said the root compromises represent instances where intruders gained “super-user” privileges.

“That means you can do anything on the computer,” he said.

PAUL BUCK, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

A physical or cyberattack on the nation’s power infrastructure is perpetrated nearly once every four days.

“So that is definitely serious.

Whether that computer was critical or just a simple office computer, we don’t know.”

Govindarasu said while there could be information in Energy Department computer systems concerning security plans or investments related to the nation’s power grid, the grid’s real-time control systems are operated by utilities and are not directly con-

nected to the Energy Department’s computer systems.

The Energy Department federal laboratories, however, sometimes pull data on the operation of the grid from utilities for research and analysis.

Records show 90 of the 153 successful cyber intrusions over the four-year period were connected to the DOE’s Office of Science, which directs scientific

IN BRIEF KENTUCKY COUNTY CLERK DELAYS RETURN TO WORK

Kim Davis, the embattled Kentucky county clerk at the center of a dispute over gay marriage and religious liberty, is out of jail but “needs time to rest” and won’t return to work until Friday or Monday, her lawyers said Wednesday.

Liberty Counsel, the legal group representing Davis, said she plans to spend time with family after the six-day ordeal in the Carter County Detention Center.

The Rowan County clerk was jailed last Thursday for refusing to comply with a federal judge’s order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. While she was being held, her deputies complied with the order, which satisfied the court.

A USA TODAY Media Network report in March found a physical or cyberattack nearly once every four days on the nation’s power infrastructure, based on an analysis of reports to the Department of Energy through a separate reporting system that requires utility companies to notify the federal agency of incidents that affect power reliability.

Amid mounting concerns, the oversight and energy subcommittees of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology will hold a joint hearing at 10 a.m.

Thursday to examine vulnerabilities of the national electric grid and the severity of various threats.

The congressional committee’s charter for Thursday’s meeting, citing USA TODAY’s report in March, notes the growing vulnerability of the nation’s increasingly sophisticated bulk electric system.

“As the electric grid continues to be modernized and become more interconnected,” the charter states, “the threat of a potential cybersecurity breach significantly increases.”

WASHINGTON An effort in Congress to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood began in earnest Wednesday with the first in a series of hearings intended to make the case that the group is illegally harvesting and selling tissue from aborted fetuses, a claim the group vehemently denies.

The hearing before the House Judiciary Committee — titled “Examining the Horrific Abortion Practices at the Nation’s Largest Abortion Provider” — likely will be followed by two more this fall as three House committees pursue investigations of Planned Parenthood.

Wednesday’s forum became an opportunity to air a broader agenda of reducing abortions generally. Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., opened the hearing with a call for Congress to pass legislation to bar all abortions after five months of gestation,

European Union calls for mandatory refugee quotas Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

BERLIN European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker urged Europe on Wednesday to undertake a “swift, determined and comprehensive” response to the migration crisis by increasing aid and imposing quotas for the bloc’s 28 members.

Juncker, who leads the European Union’s executive arm, said the bloc immediately needs to distribute 160,000 refugees across the EU, and participation by member nations should be mandatory.

He used his first State of the Union address to the EU Parliament in Strasbourg, France, to call for an agreement on the measures by early next week. A summit of European interior and justice ministers will take place Monday in Brussels.

“The refugee crisis will not simply go away,” Juncker told EU lawmakers.

Hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees have traveled to Europe this year, but the EU has struggled to form a cohesive strategy for handling the influx.

The crisis has rapidly developed into a humanitarian emergency with thousands of people stranded at various transit points and borders from Greece to Hungary.

Some 500,000 migrants have entered Europe this year, many from conflict-torn Syria and Libya. Several thousand have died

trying to reach Europe by crossing the Mediterranean Sea, the United Nations estimates.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed Juncker’s comments but cautioned that any agreement on the distribution of refugees needed to be binding for all member states. Germany has sheltered far more migrants than any other European country.

Not everyone agrees. Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said his government’s opposition to mandatory quotas has not changed.

“The compulsory quotas are not a good solution,” Sobotka said. “To continue with a discussion about their establishment all across Europe only prevents us from taking really important and necessary steps.”

“We continue to be fully transparent and cooperate with all of the committees.”

which would “help ensure that the body parts of late-aborted babies cannot be sold because lateterm abortions would be generally prohibited.”

Rep. John Conyers, the committee’s top Democrat, said the panel was wasting its time on a “one-sided” hearing showing “no credible evidence that Planned Parenthood violated the law.”

The hearings are the result of the release in July of portions of undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing the fees charged to research groups for various types of tissue from late-term abortions and the techniques involved in recovering it. The group that produced the videos, the Center for Medical Progress, says they prove that Planned Parenthood is illegally selling fetal tissue for profit.

Planned Parenthood claims the videos are heavily edited footage that falsely portray the group’s tissue donation program.

Spokesman Eric Ferrero said, “While all of these congressional investigations are based on false claims and videos that have been completely discredited, we continue to be fully transparent and cooperate with all of the committees.”

The Judiciary Committee announced that the hearing was intended to “hear from the experts on the issues surrounding the alleged acts of Planned Parenthood.” Instead, it featured the general counsel for National Right to Life, two anti-abortion activists who survived botched abortions and a Yale Law School fellow who is a longtime advocate for abortion rights.

Scientists: Cities’ gas-pipe upgrades paying off Nick Penzenstadler USA TODAY

The investment of millions of dollars in the past decade to replace crumbling natural gas mains in such cities as Cincinnati and Durham, N.C., is having a dramatic impact on leaks, a new study released Wednesday shows.

Researchers also cruised the streets of Manhattan with a methane-detecting instrument to map the dramatic frequency of leaks from Civil War-era pipes that still plague the gas infrastructure.

The differences in the leaks detected are dramatic. In New York City, where it could take more than 50 years to upgrade iron and bare-steel pipes, researchers found more than 1,000 gas leaks.

By comparison, scientists found 132 and 351 gas leaks re-

spectively in Durham and Cincinnati, where utilities are executing aggressive replacement plans, according to findings published in the peer-reviewed Environmental Science and Technology.

“There hasn’t before been a solid example of the efficacy of pipeline replacement programs,” said Rob Jackson, an author of the paper and environmental scientist at Stanford University.

In addition to monetary costs of leaky pipes, which is estimated to be about $2 billion annually, the greenhouse gas contributes to smog and global warming, Jackson said.

And the leaks can lead to devastating, sometimes deadly, explosions. Gas leak incidents have trended downward across the United States as mains are upgraded, but last year 65 gas pipeline leaks resulted in 18 fatalities, 93 injuries and $73 million in

Using a methane-detecting instrument on the streets of Manhattan, researchers found more than 1,000 gas leaks. property damage, the researchers said. Among last year’s toll was a gas blast that leveled part of a New York City block, killing eight people and injuring 48 more.

The scientists began in 2011 mapping leaks in Boston and

then Washington, where they found similar leaks-per-mile to what they found in New York.

“Those cities are making progress, but very slowly,” Jackson said. “I’d like to see it move much faster. But like roads and bridges,

we’re under-investing in our nation’s infrastructure.”

The pipes in all three cities are among the oldest and most leak-prone in the U.S., according to a USA TODAY Media Network analysis of federal pipeline safety data conducted last year. That review found tens of thousands of miles of cast-iron and baresteel gas mains lurking beneath cities and towns — despite repeated pleas of federal government regulators and safety advocates who want the older pipes replaced.

Jackson said public utility commissions are under pressure to keep rates low, but he proposes offsetting replacement costs with savings from fewer leaks. In cities with significant progress on aging pipes, leaks were reduced by 90% or more. It can cost $1 million per mile to replace aging pipe, costs typically passed to customers.

On 9/16, pot buyers will get a break Matthew Diebel @MatthewDiebel USA TODAY

Colorado’s legalization of wacky tobaccy has led to a wayout situation in which taxes on marijuana are going up in smoke for a day.

A quirk in the state’s tax law means that on Sept. 16 a 10% sales levy and 15% excise tariff won’t be collected.

The whole cannabis conundrum arises from Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, which requires voter approval for new taxes. In 2013, a year after legalizing pot, voters approved the taxes, which are mostly to be used for building new schools, but the law requires that any new taxes be waived and refunded if overall state collections exceed projections given to voters when they approved the new taxes.

In this case, the pot taxes were projected to raise $70 million in 2014. They actually raised $58 million, but because overall tax collections that year exceeded projections, Colorado must ask voters for permission to keep the money. And to comply with the requirement that the taxes revert to zero, lawmakers settled on a short oneday tax waiver.

New CEO Munoz vows to make company flier-friendly again

United Airlines has suffered from poor on-time arrival rates and aboveaverage customer complaints.

Ben Mutzabaugh @TodayInTheSky USA TODAY

Tuesday’s abrupt resignation of United Airlines CEO Jeff Smisek comes amid a federal investigation that has raised the specter of political patronage and allegations of corruption in New Jersey.

But for United’s customers, interest in the airline’s executive shake-up is more basic: “What will it mean for us?”

The ouster of Smisek and two other company executives follows a series of IT breakdowns — two this summer — that have snarled flights and frayed passengers’ nerves since United’s merger with Continental in 2011. United’s overall operations have bogged down, with poor on-time arrival rates and above-average customer complaint rates, ac-

cording to federal Department of Transportation data.

Though United cited the ongoing federal investigation in revealing Smisek’s departure, he had become the target for many of the airline’s customers who had grown frustrated with its recent performance.

“The CEO of a company is always going to be a lightning rod for complaints when things go poorly or the hero when things go well,” says Henry Harteveldt, a travel industry analyst at San Francisco-based Atmosphere Research Group. “Fliers were optimistic when the airlines merged, and now they have become disap-

pointed in its execution.”

Many customers tell USA TODAY they welcome the change in leadership. But does it portend a new direction for the airline?

That’s one of the issues facing incoming CEO Oscar Munoz as he takes over from Smisek, who had indeed become a lightning rod for customers’ complaints.

“It’s been amazing to read the amount of vitriol directed at Smisek on message boards from customers and employees and how much utter glee there is at his departure,” says Rob Schickler of Nashville, a former elite-level United customer who says he has taken his business to American

NEW IPAD, IPHONES, YET LITTLE RAZZLE-DAZZLE FOR

because of United’s struggles.

Schickler — repeating a sentiment common among United customers via social media — puts much of the blame for United’s current customer-service issues on Smisek. Smisek took over as United’s CEO as part of the 2010 merger, moving over from the same role at Continental.

Munoz pledged to make customer service a priority, saying he would travel through United’s route network to talk to employees about what is working and about what could make things better for customers.

“At United, I will dedicate myself to making our airline flyerfriendly,” Munoz said in a Tuesday letter introducing himself to the company’s 84,000 workers.

Harteveldt says Munoz’ first task should be to “focus on improving on-time reliability. If you don’t have a reliable airline, it doesn’t matter. You don’t have an airline people will want to fly.”

Harteveldt also suggests United customers should temper their hope for a quick fix.

Company appears to have every intention of milking its current tech for as long as it can

Jon Swartz and Marco della Cava USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Apple events typically are of the tent-pole blockbuster movie variety.

Big news. Big guests. Big wow.

But Wednesday’s iPhone update seemed more like another episode of the old Must-See TV: an incremental plot advancer for what has long been the hottest tech show in the business.

Apple carted out new iPhones with force-touch technology. It made a play for the corporate market with a re-imagined iPad that was vouched for by a Microsoft executive onstage. It unveiled voice-activated commands for Apple TV. And it ended the show with a pop-rock band.

In a two-hour press event that made numerous nods to the enterprise market and the benefits of viewing video and game content on bigger digital displays, Apple stressed the bottom line: It The new has every intention Apple TV of milking the and remote. iPhone juggernaut for the APPLE foreseeable future.

are expected to rack up hefty sales when they become available Sept. 25 for $199 to $499 with a two-year contract, or installment plans of $27 and $31 a month for 24 months.

But this isn’t Jobs’ Apple, whose era was marked by breathless announcements to stampeding attendees. This time around, guests started leaving even while the closing act, OneRepublic, was still performing.

This new era was vividly on display in front of 6,000 at the historic Bill Graham Auditorium.

Product upgrades ruled the day, starting with the new iPad Pro, a larger version (12.9 inches) of the venerable tablet that now comes with a smart keyboard and stylus, called the Apple Pencil.

Jobs famously dissed the idea of a stylus device when he introduced the original iPhone in 2007.

He told biographer Walter Isaacson, “As soon as you have a stylus, you’re dead.”

On the flip side, Apple sees great potential for iPad as it dives into the corporate market. It has teamed separately with Cisco Systems and IBM to sell its mobile devices and Macintoshes to big businesses. It is being positioned as a replacement for a laptop computer with Apple executives promising desktop performance in a tablet. The Pencil costs $99, the smart keyboard $169.

The new Apple TV offers the world’s couch potatoes the ability to summon not just programming but also news, weather and sports with Siri, the voice-activated assistant. “This really is the golden age of TV, yet the experience has been standing still,” Cook said. “Today, we are going to do something about that.”

But there was no news of original content or any partnerships with studios.

Perhaps next time Apple will save the fanfare for truly new product launches.

Justice aims to get tough on Wall St. fraud Department wants to limit powerful people from escaping charges Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

The Justice Department issued a new policy Wednesday that made the prosecution of Wall Street executives involved in financial fraud a major priority, all but acknowledging nagging criticism that powerful corporate figures have escaped criminal charges in favor of giant monetary penalties.

“Effective immediately, we have revised our policy guidance to require that if a company wants any credit for cooperation, WASHINGTON

any credit at all, it must identify all individuals involved in the wrongdoing, regardless of their position, status or seniority in the company, and provide all relevant facts about their misconduct,” according to Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates’ prepared remarks for a Thursday speech at New York University Law School.

“It’s all or nothing. No more picking and choosing what gets disclosed. No more partial credit for cooperation that doesn’t include information about individuals,” Yates said.

The New York Times first reported the change Wednesday night.

Yates’ prepared remarks elaborate on policy issued to federal prosecutors Wednesday, calling for federal authorities not to pro-

vide individuals “protection from criminal or civil liability,” absent extraordinary circumstances.

“The rules have just changed,” Yates said. “Effective today, if a company wants any consideration for its voluntary disclosure or cooperation, it must give up the individuals, no matter where they sit within the company.”

In the aftermath of the financial crisis and housing market collapse, Justice has long been criticized for failing to target executives who presided over the rampant fraud that facilitated the crises.

“Corporate matters cannot be resolved without clear plan to resolve cases against individuals and all decisions declining to prosecute potential culpable individuals must be approved by the

U.S. attorney of the head of the division handling the case,” according to the new Justice guidelines.

Some of the changes, according to the memo distributed to all 93 U.S. attorneys’ offices across the country, “represent a departure from the department’s longstanding approach to corporate prosecutions.”

“The policy will apply to all future investigations of corporate wrongdoing,” the memo states.

Yates, in remarks to the NYU law school, said the “mission here is not to recover the largest amount of money from the greatest number of corporations. Our job is to seek accountability from those who break our laws and victimize our citizens. It’s the only way to truly deter corporate wrongdoing.”

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

Wall Street has entered its own version of the “swing era.” But don’t confuse it with the fun vibe of the jazz-inspired swing dance craze back in the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s.

We’re talking wild point swings in the Dow Jones industrial average, where daily swings of 100 points or more have become as common as a morning cup of joe or the sound of the opening bell ringing on Wall Street.

This week’s post-holiday trading action has been all about wild swings — both up and down. On Tuesday, the Dow Jones industrial average climbed 390 points to kick off the week, as investors acted as if all was well in the world again.

GE’s transition from banking biz not an easy one Q: Is GE finally a buy again?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: General Electric continues to get out of the banking business. It’s a painful transition, but one investors are hoping will pay off soon.

The most tangible signpost yet in GE’s move from finance and back to its industrial roots came this week after the company won the OK from European and federal officials for the Alstrom deal. GE earlier this year made a $9.5 billion play to buy the power business of French multinational Alstrom. Shares of GE jumped 4% Tuesday after the European Commission blessed the deal and the Department of Justice allowed it to go forward. GE continues to shed finance assets. This year the company struck a deal to sell a good chunk of banking businesses.

What investors want to see is growth coming out of the restructuring. Revenue this year is expected to fall roughly 15% as the changes are made. However, analysts are calling for GE to put up 3.6% revenue growth in 2016. The expected return of growth is one reason analysts remain bullish on the stock, saying it could be worth 23% more in 18 months than it is now. Shares closed Wednesday at $24.55.

But this is far from a done deal. New Constructs still sees GE stock as dangerous as its expected future cash flows still don’t justify the current price.

Job openings hit record in July, but hiring remains tepid Paul Davidson @PDavidsonusat USA TODAY

Job openings surged to a record high in July even as hiring fell, signaling a tighter labor market that’s expected to soon push up sluggish wage growth.

Employers advertised 5.8 million jobs, up from 5.3 million in June and the highest on records dating to 2000, the Labor Department said Wednesday.

The number of hires slipped to 5 million from 5.2 million, according to the Job Openings and

JUSTIN SULLIVAN, GETTY IMAGES

Career fairs have been busy as job openings outpace hiring.

Many employers have struggled to fill vacancies.

Labor Turnover Survey. As the unemployment rate falls to nearnormal levels, many employers are struggling to find workers — a dilemma some economists attribute to mismatches between the skills of unemployed workers and employers’ needs. The jobless rate fell to 5.1% last month.

Many laid-off managers in human resources, marketing and accounting lack the skills in big data analysis and digital marketing, for example, that are required in the modern workplace, says Tom Gimbel, CEO of LaSalle network, a Chicago staffing firm.

Job candidates who have those

skills are being snapped up more quickly, reducing the average duration of job openings among his clients over the past year to about five weeks from two months.

Chicago-based StratEx, which makes human resources software, has struggled since early June to hire 10 project managers, software developers and customer service representatives, says CEO Adam Ochstein. The firm, which typically requires job candidates to undergo five interviews, has lost many to employers that are pouncing more quickly in the more competitive market.

“It’s biting us in the butt,” he

says. He says the firm, with 70 employees, likely could have boosted sales up to 20% this year if it had filled the positions.

To combat the labor shortage, Guidant Financial of Bellevue, Wash., a small-businesses loan consultant, has raised wages 5% the past year and is now willing to train candidates who don’t have all the skills it’s seeking, say CEO David Nilssen.

Many employers are only now ramping up staffing after the recession and have been unwilling to raise salaries, says Paul McDonald, senior executive director of staffing firm Robert Half.

The empowering movie was ‘cathartic’ @BryAlexand USA TODAY

“Tomorrow is never a promise. ... I want to have fun and do things outside the box.”

Sanaa Lathan has a confession: Even she peeks regularly below her mattresses. Just to make sure the floors are clear.

“I’ve always looked under my bed when I come home,” says Lathan, 43. “And I feel like now other people are going to be looking under their bed at night too.”

You can chalk that up to Lathan’s role in The Perfect Guy (opening Friday). The over-thetop thriller has her Washington lobbyist Leah breaking up with her non-committal boyfriend (Morris Chestnut) and falling for the smooth-talking, man-of-herdreams Carter (Michael Ealy).

But Carter turns out to be a psycho who stalks her and, as the trailer memorably shows, hides super-creepily beneath her bed.

“Even I felt bad the day we shot that scene with Michael under my bed. It was weird,” Lathan says.

That’s just the start of the Per-

concedes that the empowering movie was “cathartic, in terms of what I have gone through.”

Instead, she happily discusses how she is about trying new things after the death of a friend last year. Lathan is recovering from an impromptu night out recording a music track, even if she has no grand singing aspirations.

“One of the biggest things that came out of (the tragedy) was the need to live life now,” Lathan says. “Tomorrow is never a promise. ... I want to have fun and do things outside the box.”

The power roles continue as an astronaut in the sci-fi thriller Ad Inexplorata (no date yet) and as an FBI agent in Now You See Me: The Second Act (due June 2016).

As far as the bed thing, Lathan has protection with her Briard and an English bulldog.

“One of them is pretty ferocious,” and “... they would never allow anyone under my bed.”

Shyamalan hopes for a successful ‘Visit’ Director is ready to scare us again

SHYAMALAN’S UPS AND DOWNS

Brian Truitt

uThe Sixth Sense (1999) $293.5 million

@briantruitt USA TODAY

Ghosts made M. Night Shyamalan a filmmaking wunderkind, and it might be creepy grandparents who remind everyone of the original storytelling he can do.

After a successful summer with the Fox hit show Wayward Pines, the writer/director/producer returns to the big screen — where he first hit it big in 1999 with The Sixth Sense — with The Visit (in theaters Friday).

In the film, a couple of youngsters (Olivia DeJonge and Ed Oxenbould) hang in rural Pennsylvania for a week with their increasingly odd Nana (Deanna Dunagan) and Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie).

Shyamalan’s career has had some ups and downs — Unbreakable and Signs were popular follow-ups to Sixth Sense, though folks broke out the torches and pitchforks for The Village and The Happening. But whether you want to call it a comeback or not, the filmmaker considers himself a lucky man.

“Honestly, my kids were small

uUnbreakable (2000) $95 million uSigns (2002) $228 million uThe Village (2004) $114.2 million uLady in the Water (2006) $42.3 million UNIVERSAL PICTURES

After his sleeper hit in 1999, The Sixth Sense, director M. Night Shyamalan has had mixed success. His The Visit is out Friday. and I made more family-oriented fare,” says Shyamalan, 45, “and they’re teenagers, so it’s time to scare them now.”

The Sixth Sense raked in $293.5 million — even though nobody knew Shyamalan’s name or could pronounce it, says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak.

He likens it to “the second coming of Orson Welles,” but he adds, “With every filmmaker who comes out of the gate with their masterpiece, it’s hard to follow that up.”

Unbreakable (2000) was a moderate financial and critical

success with $95 million, and Signs did huge business with $228 million. After the rise came the fall: The Village (2004) made $114.2 million but was met with mixed reviews, and his next three original movies all tanked at the box office and were lambasted by critics.

“He bought the same hype we did,” says Devin Faraci, editor in chief of the website Birth.Movies .Death. “He’s not Spielberg. He never was going to be. He just popped up at a weird moment when the ’90s were dying, when we were coming out of this ‘adult thriller’ phase and we wanted

uThe Happening (2008) $64.5 million uThe Last Airbender (2010) $131.8 million uAfter Earth (2013) $60.5 million

something imaginative in our movies.”

Is there a way back? Faraci thinks so. “Going small, like he has with The Visit, is probably it.”

Making a good film would go a long way, adds Mike Sampson, editor in chief of ScreenCrush .com. “If Shyamalan were able to make another crowd-pleasing movie, all would be forgiven. But the question is whether he’s creatively tapped out and even can get his mojo back.”

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Rising star

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Jayhawks’ Parmalee proving his worth Tre’ Parmalee became the first player in the Charlie Weis era to make a commitment to attend Kansas University on a football scholarship.

Neither as big nor as fast as most Big 12 receivers, I had my suspicions that Weis was doing a favor to his former Notre Dame assistant, current Oakland Raiders running backs coach Bernie Parmalee.

Clearly not the case. Not even close.

Tre’ Parmalee was nothing less than KU’s best player in a seasonopening 41-38 loss Saturday to South Dakota State.

ParParmalee malee’s part of the solution. The problem is not enough high school players joined him in Weis’ first recruiting class that was packed with transfers from four-year schools and junior colleges.

The senior wide receiver from Bishop Miege High was one of just 11 high school recruits in the Class of 2012. Seven remain in the program (Greg Allen, Courtney Arnick, Tyler Holmes, Schyler Miles, Tre’ Parmalee, Tevin Shaw and Jordan Shelley-Smith). Low on quantity, high on quality.

In the season-opener, Parmalee led the team with three receptions for 82 yards and ran for a 19-yard touchdown on a reverse.

His 26-yard punt return gave Kansas a shot at a game-tying drive, which ended with a shot in the foot, or was it the quarterback’s hands?

Parmalee also did what a senior’s supposed to do at halftime when things aren’t looking too good.

The beauty of seniors who have spent their entire college careers at the same school is that with each year they take more pride in the program, feel more responsibility and develop a greater love for their uniform and school.

Plus, not much takes them for surprise. For example, on one of Parmalee’s two 35-yard receptions, he was karate-chopped across the arms, drawing a pass-interference penalty on the defense. Somehow, he caught the pass. Penalty declined.

Offensive coordinator Rob Likens said earlier that week in practice, Shaw had chopped his arms in the “exact same way,” and Parmalee dropped the pass.

This time he was ready for it. The longer you stick around, the more ready you are for just about anything.

Parmalee and quarterback Montell Cozart have known each other for six years, having played together at Bishop Miege High, and it shows.

Likens quickly identified Parmalee as a smart football player and early in spring football identified him as KU’s best receiver because he was the smartest. Parmalee has justified

MEMPHIS FOOTBALL COACH JUSTIN FUENTE DISPLAYS THE TROPHY after Memphis defeated Brigham Young, 55-48 in double overtime, during the Miami Beach Bowl on Dec. 22, 2014 in Miami.

Zenger, Beaty familiar with Memphis’ Fuente

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

In the fall of 2005, newly named Illinois State athletic director Sheahon Zenger, who now holds the same position at Kansas, wandered out to an ISU football practice and could not believe his eyes.

On the offensive side of the field, where the quarterbacks

and receivers were working on offensive installation, a 29-year-old coach who looked barely old enough to be out of college seemed to be the one in charge.

Figuring he was mistaken, Zenger approached then-ISU head coach Denver Johnson and asked him who the young man was.

His name was Justin Fuente, and although the cur-

rent Memphis Tigers coach who will bring his team to Lawrence at 6 p.m. Saturday for a Week 2 showdown with the Jayhawks remains one of the hot, young names in college coaching, Fuente has aged and accomplished an impressive amount since that day on the field in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois.

“Justin was a young man that I was always very im-

pressed by,” Zenger said.

“And I always admired his play-calling ability even then.”

After starting his college career as a three-year QBs coach and three-year offensive coordinator at Illinois State, Fuente left ISU in 2009 to become the co-offensive coordinator and QBs coach Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C

Miles named to KU basketball staff

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University alltime assists leader Aaron Miles, who worked Bill Self’s camps in June and spent a lot of time in the KU basketball offices all summer, has been named a full-time member of the Jayhawk hoops staff.

Miles, who played for Lokomotiv-Kuban in Russia last season, on Wednesday was named assistant director of student-athlete development.

The 32-year-old Miles, MVP of the Russian Cup in 2013, will work for KU while rehabbing a nagging injury.

He could possibly return to playing pro ball next season.

“Aaron’s basketball ca-

reer may not be over, but he is certainly going to be forced to miss this year because of a torn labrum that required surgery,” Self said in announcing the hire. “I’ve always told Aaron I wanted him to work for me someday. This is an opportunity for him to get a jump start toward the coaching profession, see how he enjoys

it and if he would want to make a career of it after his playing days are over.”

Miles, who along with wife Mikki, and sons Aaron Jr., Adonis, Asaiah and Avion, have made Lawrence their offseason home since 2008, is enthused about working at his alma mater.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Pinch-hitter Miguel Sano homered with two outs in the 12th inning, and the Minnesota Twins beat the AL Central-leading Kansas City Royals, 3-2, on Wednesday night.

Sano was stuck in an 0-for-14 slump that included 11 strikeouts when he stepped to the plate against Franklin Morales (3-2), the Royals’ sixth reliever of the night. Sano worked a full count before sending a soaring shot over the bullpen in left field.

Blaine Boyer (3-4) pitched

1 2/3 innings of relief for Minnesota, and Kevin Jepsen recorded three outs for his 12th save while Glen Perkins sat out again with a back injury.

Perkins received a second cortisone shot Wednesday and was still unavailable.

Kansas City had a chance to win in the 10th when pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson stole second and third, and Cain chopped a grounder back to the pitcher. Brian Duensing alertly threw home and the throw carried Please see ROYALS, page 4C

There is a reason that most NFL home teams choose the sideline with its back to the press box and coaching boxes.

There is a reason coaches hold the play chart in front of their faces when calling plays or coverages. There is a reason locker rooms are guarded and practice facilities are inspected for hidden cameras and hotel trash cans are emptied lest a morsel of information fall into the wrong hands.

The reason is not because Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have turned the league into a cult of cheaters.

The reason is because the games are coached by human beings.

People want to win. They want to win badly enough that if an opponent is showing his cards at the table, they will surely peek at them. That’s far from a surprise, even as we hear more about how Belichick devised ways to look at cards he shouldn’t have been able to see.

An ESPN The Magazine story published online Tuesday provided new details about the 2007 Spygate scandal in which the Patriots were found to be videotaping opposing coaches’ signals from the sidelines. It is an exhaustive, comprehensive story that puts forth the theory that commissioner Roger Goodell’s attempt at stern punishment for the more recent Deflategate scandal was a “makeup call” for his relatively lenient handling of the videotaping violation.

That’s possible, although the linkage is hung on a single partial quote from an anonymous NFL owner. It’s just as likely that Goodell screwed up both punishment decisions — with the porridge too cold once and too hot the next time — because he’s absolutely lousy at those decisions. The man can get the business deals done and make the cash register ring, but his moral compass has trouble locating true north.

For Eagles fans, and those within the 2004 Eagles organization, the article rekindles the suspicion that the Patriots somehow cheated during their preparation for the Super Bowl between the teams.

According to the story, “When Spygate broke, some of the Eagles now believed they had an answer for a question that had vexed them since they lost to the Patriots, 24-21, in Super Bowl XXXIX: How did New England seem completely prepared for the rarely used dime defense the Eagles deployed in the second quarter, scoring touchdowns on three of four drives? The Eagles suspected that either practices were filmed or a playbook was stolen. ‘To this day, some believe that we were robbed by the Patriots not playing by the rules … and knowing our game plan,’ a former Eagles football operations staffer says.”

Or maybe they were just better.

Whether that means they were better at playing the game of football, or better at finding out what the Eagles were going to do before they did it, if it had an effect on the game, then the Eagles didn’t do a good enough job of watching their cards.

Being better is the most unfair advantage of all. That’s why people dislike Belichick and the Patriots, and it is totally understandable. Everyone does what he does. He just does it better.

the coaching staff’s confidence in him already.

It’s a staff that constantly is coaching, delivering constructive criticism immediately.

Plus, it’s a staff full of coaches with strong recruiting reputations.

My main early concern regarding the staff centers on the question of whether it has been disciplined enough to resist the temptation to rely too heavily on quick-fix recruits from junior colleges and from the pool of graduate transfers. Each such move counted against the Class of 2016 shrinks the number of scholarships that go to high school recruits.

It’s important to keep open spots for athletes who develop into productive senior leaders a la Parmalee, a 5-10, 170-pound ball of football knowledge.

Cozart doesn’t have any interest in hearing about Parmalee’s measurables.

“We’ve known each other for six years from Miege and when I got here we were roommates,” Cozart said.

“We’re always throwing and we’re still getting to know each other on a day-to-day basis. Tre’s a very dependable, trustworthy guy and I know exactly where he’s going to be.”

Likens expressed similar sentiments.

There’s nothing worse for a quarterback (than) there’s six guys coming to rip your head off, coming right at you, and you’ve got to let go of the ball before that receiver is open and you need to know he’s going to get where he’s supposed to get.”

Parmalee has reached where not many others from Weis’ original recruiting class have, to a fourth year at Kansas.

Compiling a nucleus of players from every recruiting class represents KU’s only path back to bowl contention.

TODAY IN SPORTS 1972 — The United States men’s basketball team loses its first game in Olympic competition. The Soviet Union wins 51-50 in a disputed finish.

William Jones, secretary general of the International Amateur Basketball Federation, tells the referees to have the players replay the final three seconds, and the Soviets score a last-second basket. The Americans, who had the lead when the buzzer sounded the first time, protest in vain. The U.S. team later refuses to accept the silver medal.

1974 — Lou Brock ties Maury Wills’ single-season stolen base record with a steal in the first inning against the Philadelphia Phillies. He breaks the record with steal No. 105 in the seventh inning.

1977 — Chris Evert beats Wendy Turnbull, 7-6, 6-2, to capture the U.S. Open title for the third straight year.

quarterback, whom many believe may some day wind up coaching his alma mater, guided the Tigers to a 10-3 season and bowl victory a season ago, which landed him squarely on every hot list for just about every head coaching vacancy in the country, including the one at Kansas.

Sources familiar with the search that ended with KU hiring David Beaty said casual conversations with Fuente never went beyond that. And in mid-December, Fuente agreed to a new five-year contract that included a

$400,000 raise and hefty incentives.

The Jayhawks got their guy in Beaty, who, through previous stops at Kansas, had important institutional knowledge of what it took to succeed at Kansas, and the Week 2 game with the Tigers got a little more interesting.

Beaty said he and cornerbacks coach Kenny Perry remember first meeting Fuente when he recruited the halls of the Texas high schools at which they coached “way back in the day.”

As things often seem to go in the coaching world, the bond between Beaty

and Fuente eventually grew on the recruiting trail, where they found themselves visiting the same schools and recruiting some of the same athletes.

“I’ve known (him) for a long, long time,” Beaty said earlier this week. “(And I) knew he was going to be successful because of the way he handled kids. But, man, he’s got some good players and has done a really good job with that football team.”

This week, all of the good vibes associated with their connection go out the window and it’s

Beaty’s job to find a way to slow down Fuente and the Tigers. That should be at least a little easier given Beaty’s familiarity with Fuente’s offensive attack.

“I mean, I was the one standing in line trying to steal what he was doing schematically because he’s a brilliant, brilliant offensive mind,” Beaty said. “I learned a lot from that guy.”

What makes Fuente’s system so successful is something KU defensive coordinator Clint Bowen referred to as “complicated within its simplicity.”

In their 63-7, Week 1 victory over Missouri

State, Fuente’s Tigers ran 81 plays and displayed balance in the run and pass game, with 317 yards and 5.3 yards-per-carry on the ground and 202 yards and a 76-percent completion rate through the air.

“You can tell they know exactly where they’re headed with everything,” Bowen said. “And it’s the repeat plays, but they give you so many motions and formations and ways of getting to the same thing that it creates problems for defenses. It’s a nice system and they have the right personnel to run it.”

(with seven others). He played in both the 2002 and ’03 Final Fours.

Since KU, he’s played for the Golden State Warriors of the NBA as well as in the NBA Developmental League and in France, Spain, Greece and Russia.

Miles lent some expertise to KU point guards Frank Mason III and Devonté Graham this past summer.

“I love ’em,” Miles told the J-W recently, referring to the Jayhawks’ lead ball-handlers. “They work hard and I think, as point guards, we automatically are leaders. By being a leader, you have to lead by example, and I think they do a great job of that. And they’re becoming more vocal, which is obviously what we also need.

“Obviously, I think Frank is just a natural scorer and Devonté has a little bit more of a traditional point guard type of play. … That’s not saying Devonté can’t score, but his natural instinct is to drop a pass or run the

show. Frank is just in total attack mode. I think they complement each other real well.”

recognized for different things. The reason we are recognized for this at all is because everybody else has joined in and really tried to help.”

According to the Hall, “Winners of the Mannie Jackson — Basketball Human Spirit Award exhibit qualities such as striving to improve the community, making a commitment to others, hard work and embracing the core values of the game. Beyond the game, award winners must reflect the values of Mannie Jackson’s lifelong mission to overcome obstacles and challenge the status quo, while taking responsibility for his or her actions and seeking the highest standard of excellence.”

Former KU coach Ted Owens, who will attend tonight’s ceremony and Friday’s ceremony — Self has recruiting responsibilities on Friday — said Self is quite deserving.

“It’s pretty obvious he (Self) will be inducted into the Hall on his basketball achievements pretty soon. I can’t believe it’ll be

very long until that happens,” Owens said. “He and Cindy and that foundation do great work. I’m glad they (Hall officials) are recognizing that. They (Bill and Cindy) are very thoughtful people and concerned people. I can’t be more high on anybody than him.”

As far as other aspects of the “human spirit” award ... Self received some national acclaim this summer when sports writer David Dorsey revealed that Self phoned his dad and mom to lend support during mom’s final days of a battle with cancer.

Two other incidents of kindness. ...

“Chuck Purdy, our Final Four team manager in 1974, was a huge KU fan who lived in South Dakota and Bill was so thoughtful and kind to him,” Owens said. “KU would go to Ames, Iowa, to play and Bill would get him tickets behind the bench. It meant so much to Chuck. It’s one thing to get you tickets, it’s another to go over

and greet you and let you know he was concerned about you (as the late Purdy battled cancer).

That’s just the way he is.

My captain in ’66, Delvy Lewis ... he (Self) did so many wonderful things for Delvy as he fought cancer, had him speak to the players. Bill is not just a great coach but a wonderful person.” l This, that: Self on Wednesday visited Marques Bolden, 6-10 senior from DeSoto (Texas) High, who is ranked No. 16 in the Class of 2016 by Rivals.com as well as No. 34 Schnider Herard, 6-10 senior from Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas. Self will visit De’Aaron Fox, 6-3 senior from Cypress Lakes High in Katy, Texas, on Friday. ... The Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday officially announced the signing of former KU center Sasha Kaun to a contract. Terms were not disclosed. ESPN says it’s a two-year deal worth around $2.5 million.

On Friday, former KU guard Jo Jo White and former KU grad assistant and current Kentucky coach John Calipari will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

“It’s a nice honor,” said Self, who is being cited for his and wife Cindy’s work with their Assists Foundation which has served a variety of youth initiatives in Lawrence since 2006. “People here in this community have done a lot to support us in what we’re trying to do through our foundation.

each had four hits and a two-run homer to lead Seattle past Texas.

Nuno (1-2) had gone 20 starts without a win, which was tied with Atlanta right-hander Shelby Miller for the longest active stretch in the majors.

The left-hander struck out a career-high 10 and yielded only Prince Fielder’s first-inning single. He walked two and hit a pair of batters with pitches.

Kurt Suzuki into Dyson, who claimed the catcher was blocking the plate.

Royals manager Ned Yost also argued, and plate umpire Greg Gibson and crew chief Jim Joyce went to the headset for a review.

The call was confirmed and Dyson was out.

Meanwhile, Suzuki was shaken up in the collision.

He left with a bruised left knee.

Suzuki homered earlier in the game and Joe Mauer also drove in a run for the Twins, who had dropped four of six after a hot streak vaulted them into wild-card contention.

Ben Zobrist homered for the Royals. Lorenzo Cain drove in their other run with a sacrifice fly.

The late-inning theatrics transpired after Twins starter Mike Pelfrey and Royals counterpart Kris Medlen waged an entertaining pitchers’ duel through the first five innings.

Medlen retired the first 11 batters he faced and did not allow a hit until Suzuki went deep leading off the sixth.

Medlen wound up allowing two more hits in the inning, including an RBI single by Mauer, and exited with the Royals in a 2-0 hole.
