MURDER TRIAL

MODERNIZING QUAIL RUN

Defendant: Vehicle plot was channel for $13,000

School gets new metal roof, ‘sharper’ look

Editor’s note: This story is the third in a six-part series preceding Saturday’s public tour of the recently completed construction projects in the Lawrence school district.

Visitors to Quail Run Elementary will notice one of its biggest renovations from the parking lot: a gleaming metal roof that replaced the matte-blue one original to the 28-year-old school.

“That really improved the look of the outside of the building,” said the school’s principal, Samrie Devin.

Jurors in the case of a 49-yearold Eudora man charged with first-degree murder heard the defendant explain where the victim’s mysteriously missing $13,000 went.

Prosecutors in the case of Ronald Eugene Heskett have alleged that Heskett intentionally killed his disabled Heskett home-care client Vance “Van” Moulton, 65, of Lawrence, for financial reasons. Heskett, however, has maintained that the death was an assisted suicide.

Inside is more to catch the eye. Walking into the building, floor-to-ceiling glass doors between the school’s cafeteria and gym allow both spaces to look in on each other. Previously, a solid partition divided the spaces, and the back portion of the cafete-

Topeka — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt obtained a judicial order Tuesday preserving the state court system’s funding amid a legal dispute over an administrative policy imposed on it by legislators.

Schmidt filed a petition in Neosho County District Schmidt Court to block enforcement of a law enacted earlier this year that tied the judiciary’s budget through June 2017 to the administrative policy, approved by lawmakers last year. The policy stripped the Please see COURT, page 2A

Court CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Kansas Supreme Court of its power to pick the chief judges in each of the state’s 31 judicial districts, giving it instead to local judges.

Neosho County District Judge Daryl Ahlquist granted Schmidt’s request to put this year’s measure on hold until March 15. The move gives legislators time to reconsider it after they reconvene in January.

Critics of the change in how chief judges are selected view it as an attack on the court system’s independence and accuse the Republican-dominated Legislature and GOP Gov. Sam Brownback of trying to intimidate the judiciary into accepting it through the budget process. Brownback and other supporters of the change argue it allows an important decision to be made locally.

Schmidt, also a Republican, said he wanted to create time for the dispute to be resolved “without unnecessary confrontation.”

“I am hopeful this will calm the situation,” he said.

Legislators moved to preserve the change in how chief judges are selected after Kingman County District Judge Larry Solomon, the chief judge in the 30th District, filed a lawsuit. A Shawnee County judge struck down the change earlier this month, saying it improperly interfered with the Supreme Court’s power under the state constitution to supervise the judicial branch.

The judge put his order on hold while the state appeals. Four district court judges, including Solomon, filed a second lawsuit in Shawnee County, attacking this year’s budget measure.

Both policies have been criticized by the Supreme Court.

Schmidt filed his petition Tuesday in Chanute, almost 100 miles south of Topeka, suing only acting Administration Secretary Sarah Shipman, a Brownback appointee. Copies of his request and Ahlquist’s order released by Schmidt’s office bore the same official time stamp from Tuesday morning.

Pedro Irigonegaray, a Topeka attorney representing Solomon and the other judges challenging this year’s budget measure, said he had not seen Schmidt’s petition or Ahlquist’s order until contacted by a reporter.

Schmidt’s petition said his case could be filed in Neosho County because its courts would close if funding for the judiciary were cut off. Shipman did not object.

Schmidt argued that cutting off funding for the judiciary would violate a provision of the state constitution that prevents judges from having their pay reduced during their current terms. Also, he said, closing the courts would prevent him from carrying out his officials duties.

The attorney general said he wanted this year’s law put on hold on those narrow grounds to avoid unnecessarily fanning “the flames of conflict between the Legislature and the Judiciary.”

“That really opened up that space very nicely and gave it a much cleaner, sharper look,” Devin said. “Now, the first thing you see is what we value the most, which is our students.”

Additions also include two new classrooms and four learning pockets — small, break-out study spaces — equipped with “flexible furniture,” such as stools, benches and tables that can be rearranged. The students are enjoying the new spaces, which have been used for small group work and one-on-one tutoring, Devin said.

“The learning pockets are bright and colorful, and the furniture can be easily configured to meet the needs of the different activities throughout the day,” Devin said, noting the pockets have also been used by parents and the after-school program.

Quail Run is one of five elementary schools where additions and renovations were completed for the new school year. Renovations at all schools include secure entrances; “hardened space” storm shelters with concrete ceilings; new heating and airconditioning systems with classroom-specific adjustment; secure keypad-entry classroom doors; and attached bathrooms in kindergarten classrooms.

Another benefit of the renovations is one felt rather than seen. The combination of the new roof and heating and air-conditioning system have made for better air circulation, which had previously been an issue in the building, said Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll.

“Replacing the roof and the HVAC system helps improve the air quality in the school,” Doll said.

Voters approved the $92.5 million school bond issue in April 2013 to improve facilities at all 20 schools in the district and to build the new Lawrence College and Career Center, 2910 Haskell Ave. A ribbon-cutting ceremony at the College and Career Center and a “Parade of Schools” will be this Saturday.

The Parade of Schools will include the five schools where additions and renovations were recently completed: Langston Hughes, Cordley, Hillcrest, New York and Quail Run. — Reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314.

City orders owner of dangerous property to raze or fix it

Clinton Lake fits the bill

By Nikki Wentling

Judges lament polarization in KU public forum

By Peter Hancock

Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

The city will order a Lawrence property owner to make repairs to her deteriorating Sunset Hills neighborhood home or demolish it.

City commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to declare the singlefamily home at 912 Chalk Hill Court dangerous. Neighbors and city staff said the home had been abandoned CITY for about 15 years. COMMISSION City staff will order the owner, Karen Braley, to start repairs or demolish the home by Oct. 23. If Braley doesn’t comply, the issue will be brought back to the commission at its Nov. 10 meeting, at which commissioners would consider demolishing and removing the home, with all incurred costs assessed against the property.

“The hardest part about this job is to ever take somebody’s house down,” Mayor Mike Amyx said. “But in this particular case, I think we have someone who has abandoned the property, who has decided not to care for it anymore. And I think the city has done everything it can within its legal limits to get them to do that.”

The home is located in a residential neighborhood south of Ninth Street and east of Kasold Drive. According to its Douglas County property listing, the home’s appraised value is $148,300.

Kansas Court of Appeals Judge Steve Leben acknowledged Tuesday that public confidence in the judicial system, and especially the U.S. Supreme Court, has been eroding in recent years, with public attitudes be-

At Dole event, NBC reporter dissects Trump’s act Bill Graybill came to the Dole Institute of Politics on Tuesday night hoping to learn about the field of presidential candidates for the 2016 election.

In particular, Graybill said, he was hoping to hear about Republican candidates Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina and their chances of being nominated as the party’s candidate..

Josh Mankiewicz, an NBC reporter largely known for his work on “Dateline,” spoke at the institute about his ex-

periences with politics, crime, media, businesses and more.

Briefly discussing his childhood and introduction into the world of politics and broadcast journalism, Mankiewicz told the crowd he had covered everything from congressmen to celebrities, national disasters to “a whole lot of murders.”

When asked about the upcoming presidential election, Mankiewicz addressed the popularity of several Republican frontrunners.

“It’s a real indictment of the way our politics have been,” he said. “Whether

you agree or not with Mr. Trump, he’s clearly unvarnished and unfiltered and that clearly is working. I think a lot of Trump’s appeal and Carly Fiorina’s appeal and Ben Carson’s appeal is the desire to get somebody from outside of what’s traditionally the places where candidates come from.”

Mankiewicz also discussed the amount of control candidates exert in their own personal appearance, noting that journalists have a much more difficult time approaching candidates in person and are forced to receive information through releases

He also presided on a three-judge panel that heard oral arguments in five criminal case appeals.

The events were part of the court’s annual Constitution Day observances, marking the anniversary of the Sept. 17, 1787, signing of the U.S. Constitution.

“Today, all of this plays out in a background climate where people have Vivian Hill, an extremely high dis4th grade, trust of government at Lecompton every level, and in every “A not-so-strict teacher.” branch,” he said.

Although Leben’s remarks focused mainly on public opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court, they came at a time when the Kansas judiciary has found itself at the center of controversy itself amid rising tensions between the courts and the Kansas Legislature.

On Sept. 3, a ShawMartin Hill, nee County judge struck 5th grade, down a 2014 statute that Lecompton “A teacher who gives you changes the way chief judges in district courts lots of freedom.”

— Judge Patrick McAnany, member of the panel that visited KU are selected. That ruling came despite a provision in this year’s judicial budget that says funding for the courts will become null and void if that 2014 law is struck down.

Later in the day Tuesday, a Neosho County judge issued an injunction, preventing a cutoff of funds for the courts, at least until next spring.

Much of the tension between lawmakers and the courts stems from a 2005 decision in a school finance lawsuit, when the Kansas Supreme Court ordered the Legislature to approve a massive increase in school funding.

Another school finance case is pending before the Supreme Court this year.

Amid those tensions, lawmakers also passed a law in 2013 changing the way Court of Appeals judges are selected, eliminating the former meritbased selection process and giving the governor direct authority to appoint judges, subject to Senate confirmation.

believes lawmakers will try to do something similar with the selection of Kansas Supreme Court justices, although that would require a constitutional amendment.

“There’s quite a move to try to do that — to, I would suggest, politicize the court,” McAnany said.

“That effort has not borne any fruit yet, but the object would be to subject the Supreme Court to the selection process that we now have to go through.”

Constitutional cases The panel’s session in Lawrence also gave students and the public a chance to see the appellate court in action and to ask the judges questions about the process after each set of cases.

The five cases heard Tuesday all involved criminal appeals. Most of the cases involved drug offenses, and most of the challenges concerned search and arrest warrants, and constitutional protections against illegal searches and seizures.

One of those was a Douglas County case involving Tiffany Hubbard,

and press conferences.

“We (journalists) have been too agreeable to that,” he said. “We should have protested that more.”

In one example, Mankiewicz recalled approaching Bill Clinton in 1992 as he was walking down a street, noting that reporters wouldn’t be able to do the same thing today.

Although Graybill said he wanted to hear a bit more about the current election, he still learned a lot from Mankiewicz.

“It was different than what I expected,” he said.

“I thought he’d talk more about current politics, and he didn’t, but that’s OK.”

Martha Lee came to the institute not hoping to hear Mankiewicz speak about anything in particular. After his topics shifted from politics, he began to share his experiences reporting on crime, the legalization of marijuana and the recent and public scandal involving former NBC anchor Brian Williams.

Lee said she appreciated getting a bit more insight into Mankiewicz’s world.

“He had a lot of interesting facts” she said. “I learned a lot about what he was doing with ‘Dateline.’

I enjoyed hearing about all of his experiences and how the media has changed.”

who was convicted in 2014 of selling cocaine out of her home, which was also a licensed day care center.

Peter Maharry, an appellate defender from the Kansas Board of Indigents’ Defense Services, argued that the trial court never should have admitted evidence that Hubbard ran a day care center, calling that information irrelevant and prejudicial to the jury.

“This made the news because it involves a day care,” he said, arguing that the conviction should be overturned and the case remanded for a new trial. “It taints her in front of the jury.”

Kylie Kuhns, a thirdyear law student at KU and an intern in the Douglas County district attorney’s office, argued on behalf of the state. She said information about Hubbard’s day care license was important to establish that the home was, in fact, Hubbard’s residence.

The appeals court is expected to rule on the case within about 60 days.

Different panels of the 14-member appeals court held sessions Tuesday at Kansas State University in Manhattan and at Wichita State University.

Chief Judge Thomas Malone said in an earlier press release that the event is intended to give students “a chance to see their judicial branch of government at work” and might “help spark an interest in pursuing a legal career.”

There are more than six dozen new bushes along the Fraser Hall side of the lane, from Jayhawk Boulevard to the cul-desac by Blake Hall.

They’re more numerous than the old bushes, but will never grow as large, because the new bushes are dwarf varieties.

The old lilacs were removed back in August, and at the time university landscape architect Marion Paulette told me they would be replanted around late September. Check.

As long as the new lilacs don’t take an unexpected turn for the worse over the winter, KU campus-goers shouldn’t have to go a spring without enjoying the scent of them on historic Lilac Lane.

Lawrence sales tax collections stagnate L

Town Talk

awrence sales tax collections are a bit like the Kansas City Royals these days: They’re still in good shape, but concern is starting to grow that I shouldn’t have ordered 150 pounds of bean dip for the World Series party. In other words, both are in a bit of a slump.

The latest report from the Kansas Department of Revenue shows that Lawrence’s sales tax collections for the year are still 4.2 percent above last year’s collections at this point in time. But the report shows that most of that growth came early in the year, and now sales tax collections are coming in slightly behind last year’s total. For the August reporting period, the city’s sales tax collections were down 1 percent.

“Our 5 percent revised budget doesn’t appear as conservative as we once thought,” staff of the city’s finance department wrote in a memo to the city manager’s office. “Staff will continue to monitor sales and recommend adjustments to the budget if it appears projections through 2015 continue to clawhorn@ljworld.com drop below the 5 percent A slight drop in sales revised budget amount for tax revenue for a single the year.” month isn’t that concernAs we previously have ing.

amount.

We’ll see how the rest of the year goes. This most recent report was for the August period, but because of a lag in the sales tax reporting process, the report reflects purchases that were made in the mid-May to mid-June time period. Lawrence traditionally sees a spike in sales tax collections when students and their families prepare to return back to school. When the state issues its next couple of reports, we’ll know how big of a bump the city got this year from back-toschool activity.

As for how Lawrence compares to other large retail communities, it is a bit of a mixed bag.

The latest report shows that Lawrence is lagging while several other communities are picking up

Humanities fellow speaks on power of narrative, impact in poetry and media

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

Around 30 people gathered in the small, sun-lit conference hall of the Hall Center for the Humanities on Tuesday afternoon to hear 2014-2015 Simons Public Humanities Fellow Angela Elam discuss Elam the impact of narrative in storytelling, particularly in public media.

It was a fittingly intimate crowd for Elam’s presentation, “The Power of Narrative: From Poetry to Podcasts,” which included excerpts from her interviews with writers David Sedaris, Natasha Trethewey and Luis Alberto Urrea.

Elam, the producer

and host of KCUR’s nationally syndicated “New Letters on the Air” radio literary program, has spent the past year interviewing various Kansas writers and visiting Hall Center authors as part her of fellowship at KU. “That’s one thing about radio — it’s so intimate,” Elam said. “When you hear it on the radio, you forget that there’s an audience. It just sounds like two people talking, and that’s the thing — you’re joining them at the table.”

One of her favorite recent interviews, a chat with Natasha Trethewey recorded during the former U.S. Poet Laureate’s KU visit in March, showcased Trethewey’s

nonlinear storytelling.

“I am a little bit afraid of my own tendency for a kind of pedestrian narrative poem,” Trethewey told Elam. “So I try to use the elements of lyric to tell a story in a different way.”

In the “New Letters on the Air” clip Elam shared Tuesday, Trethewey reads a passage from “Native Guard,” her 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of poems that pays tribute to both her late mother and the black Union soldiers who guarded Confederate prisoners on Ship Island, Miss., during the Civil War. It’s a mixture of Trethewey’s personal history — growing up biracial in the South with a black mother and white father — and

those soldiers that never quite got their due in American history. The result, which jumps deftly between two eras, is powerful, Elam said.

“One thing I have learned in my nearly 20 years of interviewing writers is that there’s no one way to tell a story, and there’s no one approach at all,” she said.

The Simons Fellowship Program was made possible by a gift from the family of Dolph C. Simons Jr., the editor of the Lawrence Journal-World, with matching funds from a National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant. The fellowship is meant to give accomplished individuals from outside the university the time and freedom to re-engage with humanities-based learning.

Schools Foundation director to resign

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The executive director of the Lawrence Schools Foundation announced Tuesday that she will resign her position effective Oct. 12.

Adina Morse has served since July 2014 as executive director of the foundation, which Morse raises money to benefit educational programs within the Lawrence public schools. During Morse’s time in the position, the foundation expanded the student-only performance program with the Lied Center, developed a new partnership with Douglas County Court Appointed Special Advocates and worked to improve the foundation’s digital branding.

“I would like to express my sincere thanks to the

board of the Lawrence Schools Foundation for the opportunity to serve this community,” Morse said in a statement.

Morse said she will remain active to ensure a smooth transition as the board seeks her replacement. Morse has accepted a new position as a mediator with the firm Associates in Dispute Resolution beginning Oct. 13.

“We appreciate the contributions Adina has made to the Lawrence Schools Foundation in the past year, and we wish her all the best in the future,” said the foundation board president Gail Vick in a statement.

The foundation’s executive board will meet soon to establish a timeline for hiring Morse’s replacement, said Mike Strauss, program assistant for the foundation.

Rural firefighters request help from county for emergencies

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Douglas County’s nine rural fire departments may receive extra help and equipment in emergency situations, according to a request that Douglas County commissioners will discuss today.

Several months ago the county was approached by the chiefs of the area’s nine rural fire departments, who were asking for a

Rapid Intervention Team (RIT), County Administrator Craig Weinaug said.

The unit, which would consist of at least two firefighters, would specialize in rescuing trapped or injured firefighters.

With the exception of the Wakarusa Township Fire Department, each of the other rural departments across the county relies solely on volunteers, limiting the number of firefighters available to respond to each emergency

call, Weinaug said.

“If they get overwhelmed, there’s not any kind of backup,” he said.

“This is to provide a backup team to ensure that there is at least enough manpower to be able to back them up in any situations that may come up.”

The RIT would be a countywide unit, stationed at Wakarusa Station 1 and outfitted with a vehicle and the proper equipment to assist any other department in

the county in situations where firefighters are in danger, Weinaug said.

Depending on equipment options, one-time costs for establishing the RIT range from $36,894 to $57,894, according to a memo written by Drew Vincent, an intern to Weinaug. Annually recurring costs would range from $15,659 to $15,748.

Today commissioners will discuss whether they would like to take a closer look at the RIT, whether

Coaches: Debate seasons off to good start

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The Free State and Lawrence high school debate teams participated in their season-opening debate tournaments over the weekend, and coaches say both teams are off to a good start for the year.

Lawrence High Lawrence High School’s debate team traveled to tournaments at three area schools: Washburn Rural, Blue Valley Southwest and St. James Academy. LHS debaters placed in two of the tournaments.

At Blue Valley Southwest, sophomores Chisato Kimura and Claire Walther placed first in the open division,

competed in the tournament at Washburn Rural.

In the varsity division, senior Genevieve Prescher and junior Paige Lawrence placed ninth, finishing with a 4-2 record. Also in the varsity division, senior Linda Liu and junior Sophia Swanson placed 12th, finishing with a 4-2 record.

In open division, sophomores Sandhya Ravikumar and Amanda White finished with a 4-2 record. In novice division, freshmen Sarah Steimle and Li GordonWashington placed seventh with a 4-1 record.

Overall at Washburn Rural, the FSHS debate team placed third. In overall varFree State sity speaker, Swanson was The Free State High rated first and Prescher ratSchool debate team also ed sixth. In overall novice, finishing with a 5-0 record.

In the varsity division, seniors Jesse Belt and Michael Straub placed seventh, finishing with a 3-2 record.

“I’m really pleased with our opening week’s results,” said LHS coach Jeff Plinsky. “We didn’t have anyone go to camp this summer, so any early success is a welcome sign.”

Next weekend, LHS will be traveling to Emporia High School to compete.

“We had 15 teams competing and got a lot of great feedback from judges, so we are looking forward to the upcoming weeks,” Plinsky said.

Gordon-Washington was ranked second.

“I feel like we’re off to a good start,” said FSHS debate coach Jason Moore.

“It’s always nice to bring home a trophy and medals, but I will consider this a successful weekend if my students use their experiences to improve.”

Next weekend, FSHS debaters will compete at Emporia High School and first-year debaters will attend the Novice Positive Experience Tournament at Olathe South.

“We’re just getting going, and I’m looking forward to the year,” Moore said. “We do have more first-time debaters this year, so I’m excited to see how they’ll do.”

He said that during the process, the city found Braley had an active warrant out of Lawrence Municipal Court for failure to appear.

Three residents of Sunset Hills testified during a public hearing Tuesday, saying neighbors had shared responsibility of mowing the lawn and cleaning the home’s exterior for more than a decade. Neighbors who testified said they wanted to see the home demolished.

A letter signed by a dozen neighbors and sent to the city calls the home a “nuisance,” as well as a safety hazard for young children in the area.

“I live directly across the street and have to look at it everyday,” said Tyler Kingsbury, of 913 Chalk Hill Court. “We have a great neighborhood, and this house has consumed us. It’s an eye sore.”

He said he would update the commission if the bank took action before the Oct. 23 deadline.

After years of receiving complaints from neighbors and making failed attempts to contact Braley, the city executed a search warrant at the home July 9 and found it did not meet code requirements.

According to a city memorandum from July, there was damage to the chimney, garage door and siding. City staff discovered evidence of water damage to the ceiling, and part of the ceiling in one bedroom had collapsed. There was mold damage, the memo states, and the floor was saturated with water.

“It’s a bi-level house in a nice neighborhood, and the owners seemed simply to have walked away from it,” said Brian Jimenez, the city’s code enforcement manager. “It really needs to be rehabilitated from someone who has the financial resources and the motivation to do so, but based on a state statute, you either repair or you don’t, and we can’t wait any longer.”

Jimenez said he tried to contact Braley several

Voter vigilance A local voter group is working hard to get more registrations off the state’s “in suspense” list.

C

ongratulations to the League of Women Voters of Douglas County for going the extra mile to try to help Douglas County residents complete their voter registrations.

According to county election officials, 1,435 incomplete voter registrations are being held “in suspense” by the state. Most of those registrations — 1,189 — are being held up because they lack proof of citizenship.

In an effort to whittle down that list, the League has posted on its website (lawrenceleague.com) the names of every county resident whose registration is on the “suspense” list. It is urging people to look at the list and see if their own names or the names of any friends and acquaintances are there. If so, they need to contact county election officials and find out why. League members also are working to contact people on the list themselves to get more registrations completed.

A new administrative regulation that’s under consideration at the state level adds some urgency to their efforts. The proposed regulation, which could be enacted by Secretary of State Kris Kobach as soon as next month, would require county election offices to cancel any voter registration that isn’t completed within 90 days. The growing number of incomplete registrations is placing an administrative burden on county officials, according to Kobach, and it will be easy enough for would-be voters whose incomplete registrations have been thrown out to restart and complete the registration process.

One of the problems with that thinking is that local League officials say many of the people they contact aren’t aware there’s a problem with their registrations. Not every Kansas county probably has election officials and League members who are working as hard as those in Douglas County to notify people that their registrations are incomplete. That means that thousands of potential Kansas voters likely think they are registered to vote and may not learn otherwise until it is too late — after the registrations have been tossed out and the deadline to register for the next election is past.

All the information that voters need to complete new registrations or confirm existing registrations can be found at the League of Women Voters website, which includes links to state and county election sites. The League is doing its best to promote voter registration and participation. Take a few minutes to see if anyone you know needs a nudge to complete the registration process.

Ally poised to strike Islamic State While the Obama administration haggles over its Syria strategy, a Kurdish militia that claims more than 25,000 battle-hardened fighters is poised several dozen miles north of the Islamic State’s capital of Raqqa — ready to roll toward the extremists’ sanctuary.

U.S. special operations forces have been providing air support, training and supplies for the Syrian Kurdish group, the People’s Protection Units, known as the “YPG” from its Kurdish initials. A resupply shipment of about 100 pallets of arms and other aid has been positioned at a U.S. air base in the Gulf, awaiting Washington authorization for an airdrop to the Kurdish fighters.

“We have no objection to more cooperation with the U.S. and going ahead to Raqqa,” said Saleh Muslim, the co-chair of the Democratic Union Party, which oversees the militia. But he said that any final assault on Raqqa should come from an estimated 5,000 Arab tribal forces in the region that are working with the YPG. Muslim spoke to me Tuesday by Skype from northeast Syria.

Several U.S. officials say that a White House decision to approve expanded aid has been expected for more than a week. Deliberations were complicated by debate over Russia’s recent military moves in Syria, which Moscow describes as an effort to join the fight against the

‘Analysis-paralysis’ is how one frustrated U.S. official describes the slow process of approval.” extremists.

“Analysis-paralysis” is how one frustrated U.S. official describes the slow process of approval. Advocates argue that after recent setbacks for a U.S. “train and equip” mission for Syrian moderate forces, the Kurds are the best option against the extremists: Air support wouldn’t risk significant U.S. casualties, nor would it violate existing American understandings with Turkey, nor would it threaten the Russians.

Muslim said the YPG force is larger than a U.S. official’s estimate of 25,000 but he wouldn’t provide a number. U.S. and Kurdish officials said the YPG’s power on the ground and its readiness to attack are already well known to the Islamic State militants, who are getting pounded in the Raqqa region by coalition airstrikes and firefights with

YPG forces.

The YPG fighters get high marks from U.S. commanders. Backed by U.S. air support, they’ve swept west from their bases in Iraqi Kurdistan and captured a huge swath of northeast Syria, estimated by one official at about 17,000 square kilometers. In January, they won a fierce battle to drive the Islamic State from the border town of Kobani.

U.S. commanders have discussed with their YPG counterparts a move south that would squeeze the Raqqa region, while U.S. and coalition planes and drones attack the city from the air. Once Kurdish fighters had cordoned the areas near Raqqa, the final assault to clear the city and hold it would be left to a Sunni Arab force. Muslim said that about 3,000 members of the Shammar tribe are fighting alongside the YPG in Hasaka province, northeast of Raqqa, and more than 1,000 more Sunnis are fighting closer to the city. But any such assault on Raqqa is probably months away.

The YPG has been the most reliable ally for the U.S.-led coalition in Syria, but the alliance carries several regional complications.

First, the militia has close links with the Iraqi Kurdish group known as the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, or PUK, which has fragmented badly in recent years and has growing ties with Iran.

Second, the YPG has even

tighter bonds with the radical Turkish militia known as the PKK, which the Turkish government regards as a terrorist organization.

Syria has been a nightmare for U.S. policymakers partly because the order of battle there is so tangled.

The rampaging YPG is backed by our adversary, Iran, but mistrusted by our ally, Turkey. The U.S. says it wants to work for a diplomatic settlement with help from Russia, which is now sending a significant new military force into northern Syria. Meanwhile, progress on the so-called “southern front” has been hamstrung

by Jordan’s reluctance to topple President Bashar alAssad until it’s clearer who will succeed him.

In this fog of policy, the only goal shared by all major players — the U.S., Russia, Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the Syrian regime itself — is to defeat the Islamic State. The best U.S.-backed fighters against the extremists have been the Syrian Kurds, who say they’re ready to do much more, with U.S. support.

“The trust is there between the YPG and American forces,” says Muslim.

In Syria, where there often seem to be only bad options, helping the Syrian Kurds fight the Islamic State should be a no-brainer.

The current conflict between the Legislature and the judiciary in Kansas is one with long antecedents.

The struggle over judicial independence dates back to 17th-century England. It was then — and is now — fundamentally a battle over how government functions.

In the 17th century the conflict was one between the English monarch and the judges who believed that they should be able to decide cases free from interference by the king and his minions. The battle cry of those who fought for judicial independence was that the king was subject to the laws, not above them. Indeed, the successful conclusion of this struggle set the stage for the development of modern British and American democracy.

The idea of judicial independence is one built into the deep substructure of our own nation, not only as an inheritance from England but also as part of our constitutional notion of the “separation of powers.” Our constitutional government is built upon the notion of three branches of government: executive, legislative and judicial, each perform-

Mike Hoeflich

“

Without courts, there can be no judicial resolution of civil disputes: no contract cases, no divorces, no resolution of accident cases.”

ing key functions of government and each staying within its own governmental bailiwick. Allied to this notion of separation of powers is that of “checks and balances” among the three branches of government.

Since the early days of the republic, the judiciary has reviewed the constitutionality of legislative actions.

In cases where the legislature oversteps its authority and enacts unconstitutional laws, the judiciary has exercised its power of judicial review to strike down and invalidate those laws it

finds to be unconstitutional.

Not surprisingly, the power of judicial review has often been controversial and the focus of legislative anger.

The doctrine of separation of powers and judicial review exists at both the state and federal levels.

In Kansas, the judiciary’s exercise of its power of judicial review, especially in the area of school finance, has been the cause of a growing tension between the Legislature and the courts. The most recent result of that conflict has been the passage of a law by the Legislature to reduce the administrative power of the Supreme Court of Kansas over lower courts, a law that contains a provision that would penalize any judicial attempt to invalidate this law by “defunding” the Kansas judiciary. This is a dangerous precedent and has set the stage for a constitutional confrontation between the Legislature and the judiciary in Kansas. It is a confrontation in which there will be no winners. All will lose.

No state can operate without a court system.

Without courts there can be no judicial resolution of civil disputes: no contract cases,

no divorces, no resolution of accident cases. Without a working judiciary there can be no adjudication of criminal liability. Accused criminals will either languish in jail or walk free. The people of Kansas need a working court system. The threat of “defunding” the judiciary is a threat that strikes at the very heart of our state’s existence.

If the Legislature should “win” this contest, it would not really win at all. In that case the judicial system would operate at the whim of the legislature. There would no longer be an effective separation of powers. The system of checks and balances would cease to exist. The legislature could pass any law, no matter its constitutionality, and append a provision that any attempt at judicial review would close the courts. We would no longer be a state ruled by law; we would be a state ruled by the whims of whoever sat in the statehouse in Topeka. This would be a catastrophe of epic proportions.

Plot

affect his rent.

The state rested its case Tuesday following Heskett’s testimony, deciding not to present any rebuttal witnesses. Jurors were sent home as the attorneys argued about proposed jury instructions before Douglas County District Judge Peggy Kittel.

Heskett’s attorney, Mike Warner, argued that Kittel should let jurors decide between not only the firstor second-degree murder charges facing his client, but also have the option to convict Heskett of lesser charges of assisted suicide or voluntary manslaughter.

Warner argued that the defense “has the constitutional right to present a theory of defense” (i.e. assisted suicide) and that the defendant is also “entitled to instructions in coordination with the defendant’s defense theory.”

Warner said that because Heskett admitted to killing Moulton at Moulton’s request, it would “confuse” the jurors if they were only to have the options of firstdegree murder, second-degree murder or acquittal.

“This jury is sitting here today wondering if it’s an assisted suicide or not,” Warner said. Because Heskett confessed to helping Moulton die, “we don’t expect Mr. Heskett to walk out the door here, unless he’s acquitted based on the charges, which would be ironic.”

Prosecutors Eve Kemple and David Melton argued that assisted suicide and voluntary manslaughter are not lesser included charges of first-degree murder and hence are not appropriate based on Kansas statute and case law. Kittel agreed with them, denying Warner’s request to include the lesser charges on the jury’s instructions.

The trial will continue today with closing arguments, then the case will be submitted to the jury. Heskett remains in the Douglas County Jail on a $500,000 bond.

Moulton devised a plan to invest in a 1972 Chevelle to fix up and sell for $25,000.

Heskett said that he put in the work, the time and around $1,500 of his own money into the car, and that he and Moulton agreed to split profits, with Moulton receiving 75 percent and Heskett getting 25 percent.

“We had an agreement.

We worked toward getting his van,” Heskett said. “It was the only way that Van and I knew to increase his money.”

When asked how much of the checks were spent, Heskett said, “All of it.”

In Heskett’s recorded police confession shown to jurors last week, Heskett denied taking any money from Moulton. He also suggested the last time he saw the $13,000 in cash, it was in a dresser drawer of Moulton’s apartment — which he admitted Tuesday was not the truth.

Heskett told jurors Tuesday that he was fearful to tell investigators about the car agreement because they were asking him whether Moulton had given him the money in exchange for killing him.

“All (police) were talking about was, ‘Did Van give you money?’” Heskett testified. “I thought they were going to charge me with murder for hire and give me the death penalty.”

Heskett said he and Moulton didn’t tell anyone else about the agreement.

On Monday, Moulton’s occupational therapist, Megan Roelofs, testified that she remembered a time when Moulton mentioned saving cash in a lockbox at his apartment. Roelofs said she told Moulton that was a “bad idea” and it might be considered Medicaid fraud because Moulton received government benefits and was “only supposed to have a certain amount of money” to be eligible.

Roelofs said that after her comment Moulton stopped talking about the money. Heskett said Tuesday that Moulton hid the money because Moulton was on a voucher system through his apartment, and if someone were to find out about extra income, it could

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Heskett testified Tuesday that after persistent, highly emotional pleadings from Moulton to kill him on Sept. 12, 2014, Heskett helped twist a towel around Moulton’s neck.

Heskett then pulled one end as Moulton held the other, he said, asphyxiating him to death. Moulton had cerebral palsy and other serious health problems.

The state has presented witnesses over the past week who said that Moulton before his death cashed $13,000 in government checks, which was never recovered in a search of his home. They showed recorded police interviews with Heskett in which Heskett denied entering any financial agreements with Moulton or taking his money, and they presented evidence of Heskett making uncharacteristically expensive purchases of a 1972 Chevelle and car parts.

Throughout the trial, that $13,000 has been the crux of the state’s case.

When Heskett, the last witness in the case, testified Tuesday, he admitted the $13,000 had indeed been spent on the car — but only with the authority of Moulton as part of a plan to raise money to buy Moulton a wheelchair-accessible van.

Heskett on Tuesday said, as other witnesses had testified over the past week, that Moulton yearned for a wheelchair-accessible van to ride in and gain more independence. Heskett said he’d gone to look for an accessible van at Moulton’s request, and told Moulton it would cost about $40,000 — an amount far greater than the $13,193.18 total received from his government checks.

Heskett said Moulton knew Heskett restored old cars as a hobby, and the two would regularly watch car auction shows on TV together. So, when thinking about how to get more money for Moulton to buy a van, Heskett said he and

COOL STUFF

ANDREW GARFIELD BY DAN MACMEDAN, USA TODAY

Volkswagen’s emissions scandal ballooned Tuesday as the company admitted that software designed to fool regulators affects 11 million vehicles worldwide.

The issue could cost more than $7 billion to address, threatening to undermine the company’s new position as the world’s largest automaker.

The deception qualifies as one

of the most expensive automotive scandals in recent memory and could jeopardize CEO Martin Winterkorn’s job as his contract comes up for renewal.

The company’s crisis dragged down stocks in Germany, undermined Volkswagen’s claims of environmentally advanced diesel engineering and threatened to reverse the automaker’s sales gains on Toyota as the world’s biggest vehicle maker — a title it seized in the first six months of 2015.

Unlike General Motors’ accidental ignition-switch defect, which killed more than 120 people, Volkswagen engineers intentionally designed cars to circumvent regulators.

Though Volkswagen’s trans-

gression hasn’t killed anyone, it has sown distrust among consumers.

“This could damage the Volkswagen brand globally for years to come,” said former automotive marketing executive Peter De Lorenzo, blogger at Autoextremist .com. “Trust and belief in the brand has been broken.”

Winterkorn pledged to regain the public’s trust and “find out exactly what happened.” Winterkorn’s contract is up for renewal at the automaker’s board meeting Friday. A subcommittee will meet Wednesday to recommend whether the full board should extend the CEO’s deal.

He apologized Tuesday for the second time in four days but gave

no indication he’ll consider resigning. He said, “We are asking for trust as we move forward.”

“We are working very hard on the necessary technical solutions,” he said, according to an English translation of his remarks provided by Volkswagen.

“And we will do everything we can to avert damage to our customers and employees. I give you my word: We will do all of this with the greatest possible openness and transparency.”

Investors crushed the German automaker’s stock, driving shares down 20%, a day after the stock plunged 19%.

The U.S. Justice Department opened a criminal probe into the automaker’s actions.

It’s a clash of the titan holy days Pope visits during Jewish, Islamic events Matthew Diebel USA TODAY

Gridlock, gridlock, gridlock.

It’s the talk of the town in Washington, New York City and Philadelphia, where the visit of Pope Francis has led to warnings about traffic madness.

But there’s another traffic snarl ahead: religious gridlock.

At the same time the Holy Father is dropping in on the nation’s capital, Jews are celebrating their holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur, from Tuesday evening to Wednesday evening. Muslims will mark Eid al-Adha, one of their two most important festivals,

from Wednesday evening to sundown Thursday.

Jewish staffers at the White House must choose between observing Yom Kippur — also known as the Day of Atonement, when traditionally, Jews spend the day fasting and participating in religious services — and being there when the pope visits with President Obama. Rabbis and other religious Jews won’t be among the thousands set to welcome Pope Francis in the nation’s capital.

Rabbi Jack Moline, executive director of the Interfaith Alliance, said he was offered tickets to some of the events. “But I’ll be in synagogue,” he said. He was invited to Andrews Air Force Base for the pope’s landing Tuesday afternoon, but he had to be at temple before sundown.

MICHAEL REYNOLDS, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

People cheer at Pope Francis’ arrival at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, near Washington, on Tuesday. Francis is on a six-day trip to the USA.

For Muslims, the event will mean choosing between observing their holiday and listening to the pope’s address to Congress, which was pushed back a day to avoid Yom Kippur.

European Union approves relocation of 120,000 migrants U.N. says it will have to do more than that Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

European Union ministers approved a plan Tuesday to relocate 120,000 migrants across Europe in an effort to take some of the burden off nations such as Greece and Italy, which see thousands land on their shores daily.

The meeting focused on allocating migrants throughout the EU and came on top of the relocation of 40,000 refugees in

Greece and Italy. The Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia voted against the proposal, and Finland abstained, Czech Interior Minister Milan Chovanec tweeted.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve called the agreement “an important step” approved by a “crushing majority” of the 28 ministers present.

“This decision is testament to the capacity of Europe to take responsibility and progress,” he said.

The 120,000 migrants represent a fraction of those streaming into Europe in recent months.

It called for the EU to go beyond relocating 120,000 refugees, saying the plan will need to be expanded.

“This may be the last opportunity for a coherent European response to manage a crisis that is increasing suffering and exploitation of refugees and migrants and tension between countries,” António Guterres, U.N. high commissioner for refugees, said in a statement. “A relocation program alone, at this stage in the crisis, will not be enough to stabilize the situation.”

EU leaders will meet Wednesday in Brussels on how to deal with Europe’s worst refugee crisis since World War II. Hundreds of thousands have fled conflict in countries including Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Eritrea.

The endless agony of South Sudan Sherry Ricchiardi Special for USA TODAY

South Sudan’s declaration of independence in July 2011 was hailed as a triumph of American foreign policy. Revelers danced in the streets of the world’s newest nation. A war-ravaged patch of Africa was being reborn.

The optimism was short-lived.

During the past 21 months, government and opposition forces have been accused of torture, mass rape and slaughter of innocents. Atrocities described by human rights groups are mind-boggling.

The new state that America helped to create and bolster with billions of dollars in aid has turned into a killing field, sabotaged by its leaders.

My emotional tie to the East African nation began with an invitation to speak at a World Press Freedom Day Conference in May and conduct workshops with local journalists.

I took heart in late August when the warring parties ratified a peace deal that could end South Sudan’s agony. But it’s hard to be optimistic. Previous pacts have failed before the ink was dry; this was the eighth such deal since civil war broke out in December 2013.

Tuesday, South Sudanese Vice President James Wani urged lawmakers to support the pact,

CHARLES LOMODONG, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

A man holds a South Sudanese flag as the crowd greets the South Sudanese president in Juba on July 9 during celebrations as part of the country’s fourth independence day.

Those who report about the rebels are enemies of the state and subject to arrest. ... Security forces invade newsrooms at will. despite the fact there continues to be heavy fighting between the government and the rebels.

When I departed for Juba, the sprawling capital on the Nile River, I had serious misgivings.

How safe would it be? What could I accomplish?

Upon arrival, the aircraft bounced along a pockmarked runway toward the ramshackle terminal. A fixer greeted me and led the way to an armored vehicle. During the drive to the hotel, I saw vestiges of desperate poverty. Emaciated children squatted listlessly by the roadside.

There is no power grid in Juba, a city of 300,000 awash in weapons and squalid conditions.

The drab landscape of reddishbrown dust is littered with garbage. When the sun goes down, generators rattle to life.

The receptionist at Hotel Regency warned me not to go out after dark. Armed robberies and home invasions are common, she said.

Within 24 hours on the

ground, my misgivings were put to rest. The journalists I met exuded warmth and eagerness to befriend an outsider.

Why had I come to this distressed place? they wondered.

Was I afraid? Was it true that all American journalists owned computers and automobiles?

I shared tea with Veronica Lucy Gordon, who founded the Association of Media Women of South Sudan and started her own radio station, and Alfred Taban, feisty editor in chief of the independent Juba Monitor.

Taban was arrested in March 2013 for an editorial he wrote that offended the government.

I met neophytes who traveled for hours in jampacked buses to attend their first journalism training. Some had not gone past sixth grade but functioned as the eyes and ears for news in their locales.

There are reporters in remote areas who do not know how to type, never mind own a computer. They dictate stories by cellphone.

During workshops, some of the participants described atrocities they dared not report under their own bylines. They would be killed, said a freelancer who drove from a village near the Ugandan border.

When I inquired why he stays in such a risky business, he responded that a free press was the oxygen of democracy. It was unthinkable that they be silenced.

At that moment, I knew exactly why I had come to South Sudan.

At the conference, I got a taste of what South Sudanese journalists face from their government.

Information Minister Michael Makuei strode to the podium and berated, threatened and scolded journalists as if they were disobedient children. It was clear: Those who report about the rebels are enemies of the state and subject to arrest.

Newspapers and TV stations have been shuttered for straying from that dictate; security forces invade newsrooms at will. And there is even worse news.

Five media professionals have been killed for their work since January, and it seems likely that two others were as well, according to Tom Rhodes, East Africa correspondent for the Committee to Protect Journalists. South Sudan ranks near the top of the list of deadliest countries for the media this year, CPJ reports.

No one I met during my eightday stay voiced optimism about the country’s political and economic future. The United States remains a key player, investing $1.2 billion last year. The continent’s 54th state is one of the largest recipients of U.S. aid in sub-Saharan Africa.

Before I go to sleep each night, I check to see if the treaty is holding. Too often, I learn of more cease-fire violations.

That does not bode well for the anguished masses or for journalists operating on the razor’s edge.

Ricchiardi has conducted training with journalists in more than 25 countries.

Experts worry U.S. isn’t ready for Ebola One year ago, disease revealed weaknesses in U.S. health system Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

One year after doctors diagnosed the first Ebola patient in the USA, some experts question whether the country is prepared to deal with the next outbreak of a serious infectious disease.

Ebola’s appearance in Dallas last year was a “wake-up call” to the health system, showing that the USA was far more vulnerable to the disease than most people assumed, said Stephen Morse of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health in New York.

Though the number of Ebola cases in West Africa has dropped dramatically, the world still faces a number of dangerous infectious diseases, including bird flu and MERS, or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, said Michael Osterholm, director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy.

“The next outbreak won’t look like the one we prepared for with Ebola,” said Jeffrey Duchin,

“It could be much worse.”

The Ebola experience exposed a number of weaknesses in the country’s ability to respond to a public health emergency, said Lawrence Gostin, director of the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University in Washington.

Doctors and nurses don’t always communicate. They don’t always ask the right questions, such as whether patients have traveled recently. Hospitals don’t do enough to prevent infections from spreading from patient to patient. Health departments often lack money and staff. Many communities have never developed plans for dealing with epidemics; even fewer have tested those plans.

IN BRIEF CRIMEAN TATARS PROTEST RUSSIA, BLOCK TRUCKS

Ukraine and Russia may be headed for a fresh conflict over Crimea, where ethnic Tatars and members of a Ukrainian extremist group blockaded truck traffic into the Ukrainian province seized by Russia last year.

The blockade on three highways by the Tatars and Right Sector, in its third day Tuesday, prevents food and other supplies from entering the peninsular province. It is a legal protest approved by Ukraine’s Interior Ministry, according to the Kyiv Post newspaper. It comes as Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko hopes to focus world attention on Crimea in a speech next week at the U.N. General Assembly in New York. “Crimean Tatars were pushed out of their own territory,” Ukraine’s ambassador to Washington, Valeriy Chaly, told USA TODAY. The demonstration, led by the Tatars elected leaders, is allowing people to pass but not truck cargo, he said. “It’s a demonstration for Russia that Crimean Tatars will not give up on Ukraine.”

Responding to a respiratory illness such as MERS or bird flu would probably be far more difficult than dealing with Ebola, said Amesh Adalja, a senior associate at the Center for Health Security at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “Although Ebola is scary and deadly, it’s not a very contagious disease,” Adalja said.

Ebola is relatively hard to transmit, spreading only through direct contact with bodily fluids and only after patients have developed symptoms. MERS and flu spread easily through coughing and sneezing, Adalja said. Though studies show an experimental vaccine effectively prevents Ebola, there is no vaccine against MERS, which is spreading in Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

“A lot more hospitals are prepared to isolate a patient with Ebola than a year ago,” said Bruce Ribner of Emory University Hospital’s serious communicable disease unit in Atlanta, which treated four Ebola patients last year. “If someone from Saudi Arabia comes in with a respiratory infection, I’m not sure if they’d be prepared.”

No one has performed a careful, wide-ranging analysis of what went wrong with the USA’s response to Ebola, what went right and what needs to change, said Wafaa El-Sadr, a professor of epi-

demiology at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.

“I’m not sure we’ve learned enough from the last incident to better prepare for the next one,” El-Sadr said.

Adalja worries the USA hasn’t learned one of the key lessons from Ebola: Infectious diseases are unpredictable. And they take advantage of complacency.

Hospitals with Ebola experience train doctors and nurses around the nation, said Nicole Lurie, assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the Department of Health and Human Services. Emory and Nebraska Medical Center have each trained hundreds of clinicians.

She worries the country will forget about Ebola now that it has faded from the headlines.

“These things recede from the public memory really quickly,” Lurie said. “But if we let our guard down, we’re going to be in big trouble,” Lurie said.

POINTS WHERE OBAMA AND XI COULD CLASH

Pair of presidents face fractious issues Oren Dorell USA TODAY

When President Obama welcomes Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House this week, the two leaders will seek common ground in their efforts to combat global warming and restrain Iran’s nuclear program. Other flash points between the two world powers remain.

Here are four issues Obama and Xi may confront in their talks: WASHINGTON

CYBER SECURITY

The United States and China want to talk about security in cyberspace, but that has a different meaning in each country. In the USA, it means stopping hacking attacks like the theft of personal information of more than 21 mil-

lion Americans from the Office of Personnel Management, revealed last spring.

China, which denies responsibility for that hack, thinks of cyber security in terms of protecting cyber infrastructure.

“The Chinese are worried about an open Internet and want to control information,” said Bonnie Glaser, a China analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Obama has complained about cyber-related theft of commercial trade secrets by China. The United States makes a distinction between industrial espionage, which goes against international business norms, and national security espionage focused on state secrets, which all countries engage in. Chinese officials, who are focused on growing into a great power, “don’t buy the distinction,” Glaser said.

THE ECONOMY

Obama and Xi lead the world’s

two largest economies and want more access to each other’s markets. China wants the United States to show confidence in China’s economy, which has been shaken by slowing growth, a stock market crash this summer and a currency devaluation.

Xi is keen to go home with good news from Washington, said Minxin Pei, an analyst at the German Marshall Fund of the United States. “He needs all the good news he can get,” Pei said.

Xi would like a U.S. commitment to include China’s currency among the International Monetary Fund’s reserve currencies, which would be a major sign of confidence in China’s economy, Pei said. The United States wants such a step to include a Chinese commitment to greater transparency of its economy, said Andrew Small, another analyst at the German Marshall Fund.

Both countries are working on a bilateral investment agreement, but they’ve yet to agree on the

impacted and the issue concerns it and its neighbors, not the United States. The two nations’ warships and aircraft have had some close encounters in the region.

The question facing Obama is how to react without risking an escalation, Pei said: “If China takes more islands (and maritime territory) what will you do?”

number of sectors that will be offlimits to each other’s investors, known as a “negatives list.”

“The United States wants a negatives list as short as possible,” Glaser said. “China wants a much longer negative list. It remains to be seen whether that really is doable.”

SOUTH CHINA SEA

China has alarmed the United States and its Asian allies with an aggressive island building and fortification program in the South China Sea. The United States says the islands and the military infrastructure China puts on them threaten navigation rights for commercial and U.S. warships.

China says the islands are legal, no commercial traffic has been

Xi is coming to Washington seeking “a new type of great power relations” with the United States that focuses on the countries’ common interests and acknowledges the need to “manage and control differences,” according to the official state-run Xinhua news agency.

To China, such language means U.S. recognition of China’s primacy in East Asia, its approach to human rights and one-party rule in China, Pei said.

The White House is unlikely to sign on to such language. U.S. officials “speak openly about persistent human rights violations, pressing our concerns at every level,” Susan Rice, Obama’s national security adviser, said in a speech at George Washington University on Monday.

China’s increasing restrictions on freedom of expression and assembly — including visa restrictions on American journalists — “hollow out China’s potential,” Rice said.

PAPAL MEETINGS WITH U.S. PRESIDENTS HAVE BECOME THE NORM Obama is 11th consecutive U.S. leader to sit down with a pope — once a rare occurrence David Jackson l USA TODAY

Few relationships in U.S. political history have changed more over time than that between presidents and popes. Once avoided, meetings with popes are now obligatory for American presidents, the latest being Wednesday’s sitdown between President Obama and Pope Francis.

“It’s almost de rigueur that the president go to see the pope,” says Gerald Fogarty, professor of religious studies and history at the University of Virginia. It’s a vivid illustration of how the church and the U.S. have changed over the past two-plus centuries. Obama is the 11th consecutive president to meet with a pope, going back to Dwight Eisenhower’s meeting with Pope John XXIII on Dec. 6, 1959.

WASHINGTON

Before then, only one president had ever met with a pope: Woodrow Wilson in early 1919.

For over a century after George Washington became president in 1789, the idea of a president meeting with a pope would have been unthinkable.

In the 19th century, anti-immigrant sentiments focused on Catholics, with popes portrayed as manipulative leaders of a mysterious fringe religion. AntiCatholicism helped form the basis of the “Know-Nothing” political party that ran candidates

Pope Francis is greeted by President Obama upon his arrival in the USA on Tuesday at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. during the 1840s and 1850s.

Things changed gradually, as more immigrants entered the country and Catholics formed large blocs of voters.

Popes, meanwhile, were losing the earthly political power they had amassed in centuries past, when they were literally the rulers of kingdoms, and began to be seen more as spiritual leaders.

When Wilson visited Europe in late 1918 to negotiate the treaty that ended the First World War, he included a stop in Rome. An aide suggested it would be improper for Wilson not to sit down with the pontiff while in Rome, so Wilson and Pope Benedict XV held the first presidential-papal meeting on Jan. 4, 1919.

In 1928, anti-papal protests followed Democrat Al Smith, the

first Catholic to be nominated for president by a major political party. (”A Vote for Al Smith is a Vote for the Pope,” said one sign on the campaign trail.)

As the world slid back toward war in the 1930s, relations between the U.S. and the Vatican warmed in face of religious persecution in Europe and elsewhere.

After the war, the Catholic Church emerged as an outspoken foe of communism.

President Eisenhower included Rome on his schedule during a multination tour, meeting with Pope John XXIII on Dec. 6, 1959.

A tradition was born.

The next year, John F. Kennedy became the first (and so far only) Catholic to be elected president of the United States. He met with Pope Paul VI on July 2, 1963.

Streams of hopefuls traveled overnight, on buses and motorbikes, arriving under nightfall early Tuesday morning for a chance to see the pope on his last day in Cuba.

Hundreds of faithful made the hilly, 1-mile trek from the main highway to the church of Our Lady of Charity, 14 miles northwest of Santiago de Cuba. Some had invitations to attend the Mass.

Others came just to partake in the historic event.

throngs of onlookers.

The Cuban government has generally been hostile to religion ever since Fidel Castro’s socialist revolution installed an atheist government on the island nation.

Now, President Raúl Castro, Fidel’s brother, has said he is considering returning to Catholicism.

On Tuesday, Francis expressed admiration for Cubans who have kept the faith alive. He recounted how, 100 years ago, Pope Benedict XV declared Our Lady of Charity the patron saint of Cuba.

“Generation after generation, day after day, we are asked to renew our faith,” he said.

WASHINGTON An early winner from Scott Walker’s decision to abandon the presidential race appears to be Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who has inherited support from some of the Wisconsin governor’s activists in key states.

Among the most prominent “gets” is Walker’s New Hampshire state chairman, Cliff Hurst, who will co-chair Rubio’s campaign in the Granite State, the senator’s campaign confirmed.

“I have known Marco Rubio to be a man of great principle and integrity, who has articulated a compelling, optimistic vision for the future of our country,” Hurst said in a statement released by the Rubio campaign. “I am proud to stand with Senator Rubio, and look forward to working with him here to help spread his message.”

Hurst, former vice president of the New Hampshire Republican State committee, is an important player in a state that holds the nation’s first primary.

“We’re prepared, as people move on in the race, to capitalize on it and move forward,” Rubio campaign manager Terry Sullivan told the National Review shortly after news broke Monday of Walker’s departure.

Rubio also snagged the backing of a Walker organizer in South Carolina, which holds the first primary in the South. That organizer, Drew Johnson, chairs the 5th District Republican Party.

Rubio also was endorsed by several key Walker activists in Iowa, including GOP chairs in Lee, Dubuque and Muscatine counties. And Brittany Gaura, an Iowa State University student who co-chaired Iowa Students for Walker, is now backing Rubio.

In the landscape of recent automotive scandals, Volkswagen’s emissions cheating is particularly cutting precisely because of its intentional nature.

The accusation that the German automaker’s engineers programmed software to trick regulators into believing vehicles were compliant with emissions standards differentiates the episode from recent industry calamities at General Motors and Toyota.

“There’s a measure of arrogance to this that I think people find appalling because they figured they can get away with it — we’re smarter than everyone else,” former automotive marketing executive Peter De Lorenzo, blogger at Autoextremist.com, said in an interview. “That really casts this is a wildly negative light.”

Volkswagen admitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that it installed software on the cars to manipulate regulators, triggering a criminal probe.

That proactive attempt to deceive — which can be traced back at least as early as the 2009 model year — is already making the episode profoundly more expensive for Volkswagen than its competitors’ scandals.

The German automaker said Tuesday that the scandal may affect 11 million cars worldwide, more than 20 times the amount it affected in the U.S. ANALYSIS

The disgrace associated with GM’s recent ignition-switch crisis was principally tied to the Detroit automaker’s byzantine bureaucracy and failure to communicate.

GM engineers and lawyers failed to fix the deadly defect for more than a decade.

the beginning is the root cause.

To be sure, Volkswagen’s scandal has not been blamed for any deaths — unlike GM’s, which caused at least 124 fatalities in accidents.

But the proactive nature of Volkswagen’s action is particularly disquieting.

“To say it was a coordinated effort would be putting it lightly because this takes more than just one mastermind to do something like this,” AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan said in an interview.

Another huge differentiator between the Volkswagen, GM and Toyota scandals is cost.

GM’s scandal has cost the company more than $2 billion, including a $900 million fine the automaker agreed to pay to the U.S. government last week as part of a criminal settlement.

Toyota paid a $1.2 billion fine last year in its own criminal settlement with U.S. prosecutors.

But Volkswagen said Tuesday that it would set aside 6.5 billion euros ($7.3 billion) to account for the costs associated with its emissions scandal, which was exposed Friday by the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA has the authority to fine Volkswagen up to $18 billion for violating emissions standards on some 482,000 diesel cars in the U.S. The company admitted that the deceptive software may be installed on 11 million vehicles worldwide and has apologized and ordered an external investigation. The software causes vehicles to emit harmful pollutants at rates of up to 40 times acceptable standards, except when regulators are testing the cars.

The crisis is especially damaging for Volkswagen in the U.S., where the automaker has staked its reputation on the “Clean Diesel” tagline in advertisements.

Took ‘more than just one mastermind’ to fool regulators, public

Automakers are under pressure to get the best fuel economy scores for the lowest price, but it’s unlikely others have gone as far as Volkswagen to make vehicles illegally pass emissions standards, industry experts say.

“It is crystal clear to every car company that defeat devices are not allowed,” said Tom Baloga, the retired former vice president of engineering for BMW. The Environmental Protection Agency has said VW admitted to installing the software, which affected the 4-cylinder diesel versions of the 2009 to 2015 Jetta, Beetle and Golf, the 2014 and 2015 Passat and the 2009 to 2015 Audi A3.

The move by VW — which topped Toyota in global sales this year — boosted their sales in the U.S. because they offered more competitive fuel efficient diesels and helped shift more of their sales mix from gas-powered cars to diesels. Diesel engines cost more to produce, so VW needed the sales increase to offset the price increase.

The company also improved its fuel economy numbers as diesels have much better fuel economy than their gasoline counterparts.

VW CEO Martin Winterkorn apologized Tuesday for the second time in four days. He gave no indication he’ll consider resigning, although a special meeting was scheduled for Wednesday that could lead to his ouster. Michael Horn, VW’s U.S. CEO, said Monday the automaker had been dishonest with regulators and its customers and “totally screwed up.”

“It’s highly unlikely something of this magnitude is going on elsewhere,” says Dave Cook, a vehicles analyst with the Union of Concerned Scientists.

VW was under the most pressure to quickly meet tougher emissions standards because of its reliance on diesel vehicles.

Even if no other automakers are doing “something this brazen,” Cook says regulators will need to do “spot checking across all manufacturers.”

BofA’s Moynihan to retain dual roles Shareholders give CEO votes he needs to remain chairman Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan survived a highly contested election to determine whether he could keep his job as chairman of the board.

But some shareholders already are calling for other heads to roll.

Sixty-three percent of Bank of America shareholders voted in favor of letting Moynihan retain the top job, the company announced at a special shareholder meeting. That means he gets to keep his dual roles as CEO and chairman of the board, which can be controversial as it is the most powerful job at any company. The chairman is also the boss of the CEO. Last year, the bank’s board elevated Moynihan to the role of chairman without first consulting shareholders. That led to a wave of criticism because it went directly against a 2009 vote by shareholders to separate the chairman and CEO roles under then-CEO Ken Lewis.

NEW YORK

H. DARR BEISER, USA TODAY

Bank of America’s Brian Moynihan got a vote of confidence.

BofA argued that Moynihan, who succeeded Lewis as CEO in 2010, has turned the bank around since the financial crisis and deserved the promotion. Tuesday, a majority of shareholders agreed.

“The current leadership has transformed this company into an earnings powerhouse once interest rates rise,” said Tim Newman, who identified himself at the Charlotte, N.C., shareholder meeting as owning 100 shares.

Billionaire Warren Buffet also made a public show of support for Moynihan earlier this month.

Still, 37% of BofA shareholders backed a split, which is higher than the national average, according to data from ISS Voting Analytics. Since 2013, an average of 31.1% of shareholders have voted to split the chairman and CEO roles at companies, a figure that has dropped to 30% this year, ISS said.

The higher-than-average level of “no” votes promoted CtW Investment Group’s Michael PryceJones to call for the head of BofA’s corporate governance committee, Thomas May, to step down from the board. “The bank failed to secure the overwhelming victory it needed to show that it has investors’ confidence,” said Pryce-Jones, who represents union pension funds that own BofA stock.

Shareholders that voted against the dual roles for Moynihan included the $293 billion California Public Employees Retirement System pension funds, the $184 billion California State Teachers’ Retirement System, the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan and SEIU Master Trust, which manages $2 billion for the Service Employees International Union.

Large mutual funds, which tend to vote as companies’ management teams suggest, likely carried the day.

Moynihan has another hurdle to overcome this month when the bank resubmits aspects of its government stress. The Federal Reserve, which tests the banking industry’s ability to withstand another crisis, gave BofA a conditional pass in March, citing deficiencies in its revenue modeling and internal controls.

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

Dow plunges. Dow soars.

Those headlines lately spell stock market volatility. Since late August, the Dow Jones industrial average has been experiencing massive mood swings, with the blue chip stock gauge finishing up or down more than 100 points 19 of the past 24 trading days.

Get used to it, Wall Street pros say. Big moves make news and get people nervous. The once-stable Dow has now suffered triple-digit point declines a dozen times, or half of the time, in those 24 trading sessions — including Tuesday’s 180-point drop.

The wild swings are a sign that investors are confused, concerned and cautious as the 61⁄2-year-old bull market in

stocks runs into its first serious corrective phase since late 2011.

Indeed, the Dow and broader Standard & Poor’s 500 and Nasdaq composite all hit official correction territory last month when the indexes suffered their first 10% drops in four years.

Wall Street has taken notice.

A note from RBC suggests that, “For now, the short-term profile appears to be corrective.” David Rosenberg, chief strategist at Gluskin Sheff, said: “Investors seem to be getting cold feet.” Tom Stringfellow, chief investment officer at Frost Investment Advisors, described investors in a research note as “dazed and confused.” A report Monday from investment firm Strategas Research Partners carried the headline: “Danger.”

The big question: Is the market tumult a sign the bull is over or just taking a breather?

Investors like what they see in autumn months Q: Is fall a bad time for stocks?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Fall kicks off Wednesday. And that’s a good thing for investors.

The primary fall months of October, November and December have been some of the best months for investors to be in the market. All three have delivered average monthly gains for investors going back to 1950, Stock Trader’s Almanac says, based on the Standard & Poor’s 500.

December has been the best month on record, delivering average annual gains of 1.7%, and November is tied with April as the second best at 1.5%.

Some investors might fear recent history hasn’t been as kind as these longerterm statistics might indicate. But that’s not true, either. The S&P 500 has delivered a 5.8% average gain over the past five fall seasons, according to data from S&P Capital IQ. Stocks have risen in each of the past six fall seasons with the sole exception of 2012, when the S&P 500 fell 2.1%.

The strength of markets — historically at the end of the year — reflects the importance of big institutional investors such as mutual funds and pensions that tend to do quite a bit of buying. There’s plenty for investors to worry about, reflected in the market’s flirtation with a correction.

But the fall season isn’t one of them.

Goldman Sachs CEO Blankfein says he has ‘curable’ lymphoma Hadley Malcolm and Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

The CEO of one of Wall Street’s most powerful investment banks, Goldman Sachs, revealed Tuesday he has a “highly curable” form of lymphoma.

“I have a lot of energy and I’m anxious to begin the treatment,” CEO Lloyd Blankfein said in a letter published to the company’s website. Blankfein, who has been Goldman’s CEO since 2006, said that he will continue working while undergoing chemotherapy

CHIP SOMODEVILLA, GETTY IMAGES

Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein says he will cut back on his travel schedule.

during the next several months.

However, Blankfein, 61, will cut back on his travel schedule and said the company’s board sup-

ports his plan.

The investment bank chief did not disclose what type of lymphoma he has, but he said his doctors expect a full recovery. A Goldman spokesman declined to comment on a timeline for Blankfein’s treatment or specific travel plans that might be affected.

There are about 80,000 new cases of lymphoma, considered a blood cancer, diagnosed every year and more than 60 subtypes of the disease, says Beatrice Abetti, director of the Information Resource Center at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Despite the positive prognosis,

the announcement is expected to focus attention on Goldman’s succession plan. Goldman Chief Operating Officer Gary Cohn long has been considered a possible contender for the top job, and he took Blankfein’s place at a panel discussion Monday hosted by The Partnership for New York City and New York Magazine.

Blankfein had been scheduled to talk at the event about the convergence of Wall Street and tech alongside the CEOs of Etsy and Shutterstock, according to an invitation to the event obtained by USA TODAY. Shares of Goldman Sachs fell

$3.63, or 2.0%, to $179.72 Tuesday.

Last summer, fellow Wall Street titan Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, was diagnosed with throat cancer. He also continued to run his company as normal during his treatment. In December, he was declared cancer-free.

“I wish my friend Lloyd a fast and full recovery. He is blessed with a lot of love and support from family and friends, including me. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his loved ones,” Dimon said in a statement, according to CNBC.

Andrew Garfield sheds Spidey in ‘99 Homes’ DAN MACMEDAN, USA TODAY

“I felt the instability of this financial system in my own life,” Garfield says. His foreclosure drama 99 Homes opens Friday.

In a story of foreclosures, the actor finds the drama behind the headlines 5 QUESTIONS VIDEO LIFE.USATODAY.COM

Andrea Mandell @AndreaMandell USA TODAY

Andrew Garfield shares his advice for new Spidey Tom Holland.

Andrew Garfield needs a moment, because the movie star suit has got to go.

Backstage at The Late Late Show, where he just shook out his mane of hair to James Corden’s delight and watched Bradley Cooper shimmy, the former Spider-Man swapped his tailored suit for a nondescript T-shirt and jeans. His legs are up on the couch, his long hair is in a messy bun.

“I need to cut my hair,” he says.

“I’m over it. I had it for a role I just did (in Martin Scorsese’s Silence) and now I haven’t been able to cut it, because I don’t know how short I’m allowed to go for my next thing. So I’m in a holding pattern. I hate it.”

The classically trained English actor, 32, who shot to fame as Spidey in two installments of the much-rebooted franchise (Tom Holland takes the role next in Captain America: Civil War), has grown up a lot since becoming Peter Parker.

His newest release proves it: In 99 Homes (opens Friday in New York and Oct. 2 in Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston and Washington; expands to 50 cities Oct. 9), he plays a father for the first time. As blue-collar

these motels where very normal families — Mom, Dad and kids — are living in hotels populated by migrant day laborers, prostitutes and gang members,” he says.

To prepare for the scene, Garfield and Shannon spent two weeks researching and talking with families in Orlando before shooting the film in New Orleans.

Weighing those who took on unrealistic mortgages with the banks who let them, “everyone’s right. And everyone’s wrong,” Garfield says. “There are no good guys and bad guys. I would argue that the bad guys are everyone.

We’re all participating in a system that doesn’t serve anybody.”

He’s not unfamiliar with financial anxiety: Pressure hit Garfield’s family when he was a child (his American father was an entrepreneur; his mother, who is British, was a teacher). “I felt the instability of this financial system in my own life and in my family life,” he says simply.

For the star, 99 Homes represents the stories of so many families who aren’t in the headlines today. “Everyone is terrified of losing what they already have or not being able to put enough food on the table to survive,” he says.

“That’s what I see.”

An eviction crew, flanked by police and led by real estate shark Rick Carver (Michael Shannon), knocks. The family is given two minutes to grab their belongings and leave.

“The actual attempt to grab everything you care about in two minutes while two cops have guns drawn, it’s an unbelievable

feeling,” Dern says.

Desperate for work, Dennis finds himself heading up evictions for Carver.

“I met a guy in Home Depot who had the very experience that Dennis has — he was evicted and he became the evictor,” Garfield says. “And he ended up having to evict one of his closest friends out of his apartment with his mother.”

In a mostly lifeless season, liveliness is hard to resist.

Not impossible, mind you: Those who think a TV drama should always make sense, or at the very least not REVIEW consist of scenes that ROBERT sometimes seem to BIANCO be put together at random, may find themselves immune to the energetic charms of Fox’s Empire. This is the kind of show where you can slap someone’s face, and neither of you is likely to remember it for longer than a commercial break — which probably is not how the real world works for most of us.

Well, as Cookie might say, good sense is for suckers. Clearly, Lee Daniels’ sometimes slapdash mix of politics, sex, music and lightning-paced plot worked for millions of viewers last season — and to judge from the ridiculously engaging trio of episodes that

CHUCK HODES, FOX

Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) always has something working, perhaps with the help of her son Andre (Trai Byers). launch the second season, those viewers will be equally pleased now. Empire throbs with energy, anger and camp, all set to a modern, musical, sexualized beat.

How many other shows would dare to open with a tough screed against the mass incarceration of African-American men — and then cut to an Al Sharpton cameo pointing out that this particular man, Terrence Howard’s Lucious

Lyon, probably deserves to be behind bars? And how many could pull off that contrast without making it feel like the writers were trying to hedge their bets?

Few, verging on none.

Don’t worry: The opener is not all social statements, if only because Empire never stays in one place or on one note for long. Few shows burned through plot more quickly than Empire did in its

first season, and the new season shows no signs of slowing down.

With Lucious in prison, Cookie (Taraji P. Henson, who continues to tear up the screen) seizes her chance to take back Empire Records — with (and sometimes without) her sons’ help. Plots and counterplots abound, but one thing is clear: Both Cookie and Lucious’ jailhouse rivals (including Chris Rock) have underestimated him. And no, that’s not a spoiler, because it must be obvious to anyone who has ever watched this show that Lucious’ survival skills are fairly well-adapted.

Don’t look for logic; it’s not Empire’s strong point. (Considering how often these recording artists break contracts, is it any wonder they never seem to release an album?) But never mind.

Just as you’ll leave feeling sorry for anyone who dares challenge Cookie or Lucious, you’ll feel sorry for any show, including ABC’s creakier newcomer Blood and Oil, that dares to try to outDynasty Empire.

This is how soaps are done today: with swagger, vigor and soul.

Even Mason finds camp a grind

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Even somebody as finelytuned and well-conditioned as Frank Mason III has to prepare himself mentally for Bill Self’s Kansas University Basketball Boot Camp.

“You just have to get in your mind to work hard, grind hard and just be ready to get through the day,” said KU’s junior point guard from Petersburg, Virginia, who has made it through the first three Boot Camp conditioning sessions with today through Friday workouts still on tap.

“It’s tough but you just have to think positive and you’ll get through it.”

Running, jumping and performing defensive slides and backboard touches for more than an hour non-stop early in the morning is designed to get the Jayhawks in shape for the start of practice on Oct. 2.

Conditioning generally is not a problem for Mason, who averaged 33.5 minutes a game his sophomore season at KU and followed that with 32.2 minutes per outing at the eight-game World University Games in July.

Mason, who also played 32 and 35 minutes in a pair of exhibitions vs. Canada, actually took some coachordered time off following the Games.

“I did a lot of recovery with Hudy,” the 5-11, 185-pound Mason said of strength coach Andrea Hudy. “I still got in the gym, got up shots, ballhandling, a little conditioning. I just tried to stay fit, do what I usually do. That’s what I did.”

Mason and his teammates have been playing in pickup games since the start of first semester classes the third week of August.

“Everyone so far,” Mason said, asked which players have been faring well. “Everyone shoots the ball pretty well throughout the practices and individual workouts we have (two hours a week in accordance with NCAA rules). I’d say everyone has improved.”

Of first-year Jayhawks Carlton Bragg, Dwight Coleby, Cheick Diallo, Lagerald Vick and walk-on Clay Young, Mason said: “They are hard workers. They never stop trying. Even when they are doing drills wrong, they want to learn and want to get better.”

Of Mason, 13th-year KU coach Self said: “He had a fabulous year last year (12.6 ppg, 3.9 apg, 3.9 rpg). He may have gotten a little tired late. We rode him pretty hard during the season, especially when Devonté (Graham) got hurt (and missed six straight games).

This summer, we saw at game point, when it counted the most, we’ve got a little bulldog right here,” he added of Mason who came up big down the stretch of several World University Games contests in which he averaged 14.5 ppg, 5.6 rpg and 4.4 apg.

“He was a poodle when he got here. Now he’s up to a bulldog.” l

Kick (not) off

Bartolotta, Wyman are perfect on season

Team Imperfect has been Team Perfect in the kicking department. Meet Mr. and Mr. Perfect, aka Nick Bartolotta and Matthew Wyman.

Combined they are 4 for 4 on field goals and 7 for 7 on extra points for the erstwhile kicking-challenged Kansas University football team.

Bartolotta is responsible for 10 of those kicks, Wyman one.

They share field-goal responsibilities. The long and the short of it is that the long three-pointers are handled by the long guy, 6-foot-1 Wyman, and the short kicks, including extra points, are handled by the short guy, 5-5 Bartolotta, better known as “Yoda.”

With plenty of yards to spare, Bartolotta has made field goals of 23, 30 and 33 yards. Wyman made his lone attempt, from 51 yards.

Bartolotta, a transfer from College of DuPage, is in his sophomore season. Wyman, in his third year on the football team, watched from the stands three years ago.

Yoda explained how the flexible line between his kicks and Wyman’s is drawn in pencil.

“Pregame is when we decide,” said Bartolotta, who stands 3 feet, 3 inches taller than the Yoda of Star Wars fame. “It kind of depends on when coach (Gary) Hyman comes up to me first and asks, ‘What are you feeling?

What can you hit from?’

Some days I say 48 and in.

I’m 100 percent consistent because we don’t want 80 percent. We want 100 percent. I don’t want to be 80 percent consistent. I have to tell the truth. I can say 10 times out of 10 times I can hit it from 48 and in.

“If it’s beyond 48, that’s when Wyman comes into play. It’s based on what we decide in pregame and it depends on the wind and every other aspect.”

KU’s plan to use two fieldgoal kickers seemed risky given that confidence plays such a big part in a kicker’s production. Bypassing one kicker for another created the possibility of denting

the confidence of the player watching.

“I was concerned about it, initially, to be honest with you,” said head coach David Beaty, whose concern has vanished. “I think each one of those kickers have kind of

taken their own identity and they’ve run with it.”

One of the creative ways the coaching staff has ensured that the kickers “compete together, not against each other,” as Yoda put it, has involved daily putting the kickers in situations where the entire team has reason to root strongly for them. At the end of practice, they are put under the pressure of attempting field goals that if made subtract the number of up-downs players owe.

Above all, though, the kickers naturally became friends and have found it

easy to root for each other.

“We warm up together and we march on the field together,” Bartolotta said.

“We bang each other on the helmet in pregame. We know how to get each other ready for games. We’re a team.”

The friendship doesn’t end when football activities do.

“Wyman’s like my big brother,” Yoda said. “We hang out on weekends. We chill in the players’ lounge.”

Jayhawks stress execution during week off

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Kansas University football program was back on the practice field Tuesday, preparing for Saturday’s road game against Rutgers and armed with some fresh material with which to work.

While much of last week’s bye was spent resting and watching game film in an attempt to improve, both as individuals and as a team, the break from game week also

involved a lot of sweat and even a little competition.

“I don’t know why they call it an off week,” senior defensive end Ben Goodman joked Tuesday. “It wasn’t. We definitely put in a lot of work these last two weeks and I think we’re very prepared.”

That remains to be seen, but first-year head coach David Beaty said he believed the week off was good for his team because it provided time to analyze the things that plagued the Jayhawks during their 0-2 start and

also presented the chance to do something a little different. The idea behind last week’s teaching methods, which Beaty referred to as “unique,” was to continue to foster a competitive environment while emphasizing “accurate execution.”

“We tracked everything,” Beaty said. “(From missed assignments), technique issues, loafs, hand placement, every detail that comes down to executing their job correctly, we tracked it. Every time there was an inability

to execute that correctly, we tracked that. We kept that and we logged an up-down for each one of those mistakes.”

The idea, Beaty said, was to perform so flawlessly that by the end of practice there were no up-downs to run.

That goal was not reached last Monday, but the Jayhawks got there the following day.

“We created very specific competitions that had to do Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C

Irving, Texas (ap) — Matt Cassel is headed to Dallas in a trade as the Cowboys try to bolster their depth at quarterback while Tony Romo is sidelined at least seven games because of a broken left collarbone.

The Cowboys acquired Cassel from Buffalo on Tuesday, sending a fifth-round pick in 2017 to the Bills.

Both teams announced the trade, and a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press what Buffalo received in return because the round of the pick wasn’t disclosed.

Brandon Weeden is expected to start Sunday at home against Arizona (2-0), but Cassel is a veteran with far more experience than the fourth-year pro.

Cassel has 71 starts in 90 games over 11 seasons, not counting the opener this year when he took the first snap for the Bills with Tyrod Taylor lined up at receiver.

The Cowboys traded for the 33-year-old Cassel a few hours after putting Romo on the injured list with a designation to return.

The first possible game Romo, who was injured in last weekend’s 20-10 win at Philadelphia, is Nov. 22 at Miami.

He can practice again in six weeks, starting Nov. 4.

Dallas (2-0) also put defensive tackle Terrell McClain on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday with a toe injury sustained last weekend against the Eagles.

The Bills acquired Cassel in a trade with Minnesota in March in what became their latest offseason quarterback shuffle.

He provided the Bills with veteran depth and was given a shot to compete for the starting job along with Taylor, a free-agent addition, and former starter EJ Manuel.

The three-way competition lasted until the final week of the preseason when Taylor was selected as the starter by coach Rex Ryan.

The Bills then made a calculated risk by releasing Cassel as part of a cost-cutting move because his $4.15 million base salary was deemed too expensive for a backup. Days later, the Bills re-signed Cassel to a oneyear contract with a $2 million base salary.

Cassel said he turned down offers to sign with other teams to stay in Buffalo because he was familiar with the Bills’ system and because he didn’t want to relocate his wife, who was eight months pregnant.

Weeden, who turns 32 next month, has lost eight straight games as a starter, including last year against Arizona when Romo was out with a back injury. The skid goes back to his two-year stint in Cleveland, where he had a 5-15 record after the Browns drafted him late in the first round in 2012.

Before the trade, owner Jerry Jones said on his radio show Tuesday that the Cowboys were looking for a backup to Weeden, not someone to replace him while Romo is out.

The Cowboys brought in several quarterbacks for a workout before deciding on a trade instead.

Weeden was 7 of 7 with a clinching 42-yard touchdown to Terrance Williams in last week’s 20-10 win over the Eagles.

“Certainly we think Weeden has really progressed,” Jones said. “I think we all feel good about what we got.”

Kellen Moore, a fourth-year player who hasn’t appeared in a regular-season game, is likely to get called up from the practice squad while the Cowboys get Cassel familiar with their system.

be seen together, getting loose. They are too busy preparing mentally and physically to track field position closely in practice and games.

“We hear: ‘Field-goal alert,’ we run over there together and coach Hyman says, ‘I want Wyman,’ or, ‘I want Yoda.’ ” Bartolotta’s path to KU kicker is no less interesting than Wyman’s move from spectator to center of the entire crowd’s attention.

A soccer player and wrestler at Fox High in St. Louis, Bartolotta and wrestling teammates were clowning around with a “foam football,” in practice and when he was spotted kicking it, a wrestling teammate and coach who also were in the football program tried to convince him to join the football team.

The football coaches took the baton from there and tried to contact him. It wasn’t until the wrestling coach called Bartolotta’s father, a Sicilian immigrant, to pitch the idea that the soccer player/ wrestler decided to try a new sport that quickly became his favorite.

Yoda, given the nickname by Wyman, was ranked the No. 2 juniorcollege kicker in the nation by one service. He weighs 190 pounds and is built somewhat like a fire hydrant. He also was treated during the recruiting process a bit like man’s best friend treats a fire hydrant.

“I was very underrated at C. o. D. because of my height,” he said. “A lot of teams passed on me.

How is the No. 2 juniorcollege kicker in the nation not getting these offers when the No. 5 is and other people below me (in the rankings) are?”

Rhetorical question.

“A lot of people had interest in me, but passed on me,” Bartolotta said.

“Because of my height, they thought: ‘I’m going to have someone who’s 5-foot-5 kicking for a Division I school? I can’t

with things we needed to improve in, like accuracy from our quarterbacks,” Beaty explained. “We put those guys through accuracy competitions that would allow them to gain up-downs back for their team, so they kept playing. If our punters were able to directionally punt successfully and put the ball where we wanted to kick, so we could cover effectively, they would be able to gain up-downs for their team. Field goal kickers, same thing. We tried to make it fun (and) they really enjoyed that and it kind of kept them going and kept them practicing.”

which included at least a little peek ahead to this week’s opponent, even included guys having fun in positions and situations that they don’t normally find themselves.

“We had a big man red zone seven-on-seven (drill) between the offensive linemen and the defensive linemen,” Beaty said. “Even our coaches got involved. We got some accuracy throws. I won’t tell you how those went.... I thought (the competitions were) one of the best things our coaches came up with: How do we track the issues that we’re having, but still motivate them to continue to play the next play.”

Beaty said having a tool to measure the progress throughout the week inspired the Jayhawks to stay engaged during the

off week, which included intense practices Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday and lighter workouts the other days.

“Technique, alignment, assignment, all the details that go into accurately executing, that was a big deal,” Beaty said. “We wanted to do more than just get through it.”

Rutgers chaos a plus?

Beaty was asked Tuesday how the situation surrounding Rutgers’ dismissal of six players and the suspension of head coach Kyle Flood impacted the Jayhawks’ preparation for Saturday’s game.

“Zero,” Beaty said. “I mean, they’ve got a great staff over there. He does a really good job. He’s been very productive there.

Scott had two steps on his closest defender but his shot on the breakaway was caught by the keeper.

Finally in the 63rd minute, senior midfielder Piper Hubbell found junior forward Ebrahim Diagne with a pass between defenders and Diagne slammed a shot into the back of the net for a 2-0 advantage. The Vikings defenders stopped running when Diagne touched the ball, hoping for an offsides call that was never made.

“Piper just made a nice pass to me and I just finished it by putting my feet on it and having a good ball,” Diagne said.

“I didn’t think I was offsides.”

The Vikings (3-5) added a goal in the 68th minute from senior Magdiel Meza, but LHS goalkeeper Jeremiah Barbe made enough saves in the final minutes to preserve his team’s first victory of the season.

two-forward formation.

It was only the Lions’ second game using their new formation and they outshot SM West, 22-15.

“Super talented player,” LHS coach Mike Murphy said of Davies.

“He’s got great vision.

Obviously his ball skills are such that he can beat guys one-on-one. That’s what we’ve been having trouble with up top and in the attacking third.

If you’re going to score goals, somebody is going to have to beat somebody one-on-one.”

With only three players on the back line, that usually hurts teams defensively, but the Lions had strong games from defenders Cameron Guy, Sam Dykes, DJ Davis and Adam Weir. “(Davis) has stepped up,” Davies said. “He came off the bench and I don’t think he’s been beat once down that left side.

I’m so proud to see him turn out that way because he works so hard.”

The Lions nearly added onto their lead with a strong shot in the box from junior Hosam Aldamen that was deflected away by the SM West keeper. In the second half, LHS junior Cain

Injury update Wide receivers Bobby Hartzog Jr. (concussion) and Joshua Stanford (ankle) were back on the practice field Tuesday and Beaty said he hoped both would be able to play this weekend.

It sounded like Hartzog is close to fully healed while Stanford, who injured his ankle during the first half of KU’s loss to Memphis on September 12, was dubbed a gametime decision.

Fellow receiver Jeremiah Booker remains out.

informed decision

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Robinson Cano homered twice and drove in four runs and Hisashi Iwakuma struck out a season-high 10 as the Seattle Mariners romped past the slumping Kansas City Royals, 11-2 Tuesday night.

The AL Central-leading Royals have dropped 12 of 17. Their magic number for clinching the division remained three.

Cano and Kyle Seager each hit solo homers in the first inning for Seattle, which has the league’s best record in September at 13-6 but is still three games under .500 (74-77).

It was Seager’s 25th home run and his seventh in 23 games.

Cano hit a three-run shot in a seven-run third inning for his 15th career multihomer game. Cano’s next hit will be the 2,000th of his career.

Iwakuma (9-4), who is 7-2 in his past nine starts, curbed the Royals on three singles over seven scoreless innings.

He has allowed one run and 10 hits in 13 innings in his past two starts, while striking out 19 and walking one.

Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie (8-8) was pulled after Brad Miller homered with one out in the third. Guthrie retired only seven of the 17 batters he faced, allowing nine runs on nine hits, four home runs.

Guthrie is 1-3 with an 8.07 ERA in seven starts since the All-Star break, allowing 58 hits, including 12 home runs, and walking 11 in 352⁄3 innings.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Bird, Yanks fly by Jays The Associated Press

American League Yankees 6, Blue Jays 4, 10 innings Toronto — Greg Bird hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning and the New York Yankees beat Toronto Tuesday night to move closer in the AL East race.

Bird connected off reliever Mark Lowe (1-3) for the rookie’s 10th home run in 34 games and third in the past three nights.

Brian McCann led off the 10th with a bunt single and was replaced by pinch-runner Rico Noel.

Slade Heathcott reached on catcher’s interference before Bird drove a 2-2 pitch into the rightfield bullpen. Six of his 10 homers have given the Yankees a lead.

Andrew Miller (3-2) pitched two innings for the win and New York closed within 21⁄2 games of first-place Toronto.

Twins 3, Indians 1 Minneapolis — Ervin Santana pitched strong into the eighth inning, Aaron Hicks and Brian Dozier each had two hits and an RBI from the top two spots in Minnesota’s lineup, and the Twins beat Cleveland to start a critical series for the American League wild card chasers.

Santana (6-4) turned in his fifth straight stellar start, surrendering five hits, one run and one walk while striking out seven.

He gave up two singles to start the eighth, but Glen Perkins got three straight outs.

Kevin Jepsen struck out two in the ninth inning for his eighth save in nine tries since replacing Perkins as the closer.

Angels 4, Astros 3 Houston — Mike Trout and Albert Pujols hit back-to-back homers in the first inning and the Los Angeles Angels held on for an important victory over Houston.

The victory moves the Angels 2 1-2 games behind Houston for the second American League wild-card spot.

There was one on in the first when Trout launched his 40th homer into left-center to make it 2-0. The 36th home run this season by Pujols extended the lead to 3-0.

Houston cut the lead to

1 when Marwin Gonzalez and Chris Carter hit consecutive solo shots in the second inning.

The Angels added an insurance run on an RBI single by Kole Calhoun in the eighth to help them snap a six-game losing streak in Houston.

Tigers 2, White Sox 1, 10 innings Detroit — Rajai Davis’ two-out triple in the 10th gave Detroit a victory over the Chicago White Sox, one inning after the Tigers lost a combined no-hitter.

Anthony Gose drew a two-out walk from Zach Duke (3-6) in the 10th.

Davis sliced a 3-1 fastball into the corner in right field and Gose easily beat Trayce Thompson’s throw to the plate.

Blaine Hardy (5-3) got the win with a scoreless 10th.

The Tigers were two outs away from the first combined no-hitter in franchise history, but Neftali Feliz, making his debut as the Tigers’ closer after Bruce Rondon was sent home earlier in the day, couldn’t finish it.

With one out, Tyler Saladino tripled to break up the no-hitter and Adam Eaton, who had broken up Detroit’s attempt at a perfect game by being hit with a pitch in the seventh, tied the game with a single.

The 31-year-old Jimenez (12-9) won his third straight decision for Baltimore, which began the night trailing three teams and six games back for the AL’s second wild card.

National League Cubs 4, Brewers 0 Chicago — Jake Arrieta threw a three-hitter to become the first pitcher in the major leagues to reach 20 wins, Kris Bryant set the Cubs rookie record for home runs and Chicago inched closer to a playoff berth with a victory over the Milwaukee.

Arietta (20-6) struck out 11 for Chicago, whose magic number for making its first postseason in seven years dropped to three.

The right-hander retired 14 in a row at one point in becoming the first Cubs pitcher to win 20 games since Jon Lieber in 2001.

Pirates 6, Rockies 3 Denver — Starling Marte drove in two runs and Pittsburgh closed in on their third straight playoff berth by beating Colorado.

The Pirates reduced their magic number to one for securing at least an NL wild card. A loss

by San Francisco, which played later at San Diego, or a win Wednesday against the Rockies would clinch another trip to the postseason.

Pittsburgh also kept pace with NL Central leader St. Louis. The Cardinals beat Cincinnati to maintain a four-game lead over the secondplace Pirates.

‘Rosewood’ glorifies pathologist OK, we’re in the entertainment business here. Things don’t always have to make sense. But there have to be limits to credulity, as on “Rosewood” (7 p.m., Fox).

Morris Chestnut (”Nurse Jackie,” “The Best Man”) stars as Dr. Beaumont Rosewood Jr. He’s Miami’s top pathologist, medical examiner and coroner all rolled into one, enjoying a private practice lucrative enough to outfit him with a slick morgue/ operating theater and enabling him to advertise for business on giant billboards located all over the city.

Do people really hire doctors of this sort? Is this a privatized “Quincy” for our hyper-capitalist era?

Beaumont has a way of sizing up cadavers at a glance, much to the chagrin of mere public servants. It doesn’t help that he arrives at crime scenes driving a vintage yellow sports car that looks like something he bought off Nash Bridges.

It says something about the post-“CSI” rise of the TV medical examiner that the role has all but eclipsed that of the detective. Countless movies from “The Maltese Falcon” forward showed us it was more fun to be a private eye than a cop. So now, Beaumont the medical examiner enjoys the freelance life.

And just as private eyes often had to partner with reluctant cops, Beaumont clings to the fetching new widow and police detective Annalise Villa (Jaina Lee Ortiz, “The After”). They make a stylish crime-fighting team.

Like USA’s brand of “blue skies” entertainment, “Rosewood” doesn’t want you to think too deeply. It’s enough to go along for the ride. In what might as well be Nash Bridges’ old car.

Tonight’s season premieres

Familiar faces return to “Survivor” (7 p.m., CBS).

A big pain comes in a small package on “The Mysteries of Laura” (7 p.m., NBC).

Sue gets a sudden makeover on “The Middle” (7 p.m., ABC).

You can do so anonymously. If the authorities find there is a danger to the children, the kids will be removed from the home. If you have already established another place of residence, then it’s possible the children will be placed with you or another relative who can take them in. In the meantime, offer to take the kids as often as your son is willing to let you. It will give the parents time to cool off and de-stress, and allow the grandchildren to be in a stable environment. Put the children’s welfare first.

You may be their last line of defense.

he trees aren’t really turning colors yet, but you can see a little yellow on the tops if you squint hard. Although it’s still hot in the afternoon, there’s a chilly whisper of fall in the air when I sit on my back porch at night.

It’s not quite time for October’s pumpkins, but August’s watermelons are no longer the thing either.

In this slip of time between seasons, I urge you to make up a batch of fried green tomatoes.

Fried green tomatoes are a frugal cook’s answer to the transition between high summer gardening season and the relaxed pace of fall.

As the days get shorter and colder, homegrown tomatoes hit a point of negative return — there just isn’t enough daylight to ripen them red — but, even green, they can

slice into the egg wash, then dredge it through the breadcrumbs. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower the tomato slice into the oil.

Repeat with the tomato slice’s brothers and sisters, working in batches so that you don’t overcrowd the pan.

Fry the tomato slices until they’re golden on one side, then gently flip them so that the other side gets browned, too. It usually takes me 3-4 minutes to completely cook each slice. Once both sides are done, put the tomato slices onto a cooling rack or a plate lined with a paper towel.

Serve hot with the dipping sauce of your choice.

Brussels Sprouts in Plum Sauce with Goat Cheese

Brussels sprouts for grown-ups

W

e all agree that we like Brussels sprouts now, right? I mean, growing up I never saw one, let alone ate one, and they were the fabled vegetable served by witches or those otherwise meaning to do harm to children, right?

But it turns out that they’re quite good. Awesome, even. I’ve learned to really love those tiny balls of cabbage in many incarnations. They cook quickly and are pretty on a plate, take flavors well, and have a nice crunch. If you haven’t tried Brussels sprouts lately, you really should give them another go.

The Flying Fork

Megan Stuke I often just put them in a cast iron skillet with a little olive oil and salt and pepper and brown them for a few minutes, and there never was a prettier or simpler vegetable side dish.

But they’re nice to dress

up, too. This is a little dish that will impress your dinner guests and they never have to know it only took a few minutes and a few ingredients to put together.

Brussels Sprouts in Plum Sauce with Goat Cheese Ingredients 3 cups Brussels sprouts, whole 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese Salt and pepper For the sauce: 3 plums

1 clove garlic 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon chili garlic oil 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon fresh ginger 1/2 cup water

Directions Peel the plums, remove the pits and dice. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Over medium heat, simmer the plums, garlic, and ginger, stirring occasionally until the plums are soft and aromatic.

Add the rest of the ingredients, cook for about 3 more minutes, then give everything a good blend with a stick blender or food processor until it’s almost smooth.

Heat the butter in a skillet

(I always prefer cast-iron) over medium-high heat, and toss in the Brussels sprouts.

Resist the urge to move them around too much; you want them to get a nice brown crust on each side. This will take about 8 minutes.

Pour the sauce over in the hot pan. Remove from heat, sprinkle the goat cheese over, and serve piping hot.

Even the staunchest sprouthater will come around to this, I promise.

Serves 4.
