A nearly $200,000 federal grant awarded to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office on Friday will help divert an estimated 25 people each month to treatment alternatives to jail.

Funds from the grant, totaling $199,101 over two years, will help the sheriff’s office hire two Assess-IdentifyDivert (AID) case managers through a partnership with Bert Nash, said Mike Brouwer, reentry director for the sheriff’s office.

Topeka — The Kansas Court of Appeals ruled Friday that Kansas University cannot expel a student for misconduct that occurs off campus, and it ordered Navid Yeasin to be reinstated as a student.

But the three-judge panel declined to answer one of the larger questions in the case: COURTS whether tweets and other forms of social media communication are forms of free speech protected by the U.S. and state constitutions.

Instead, the three-judge panel based its ruling on KU’s own Student Code, which generally applies only to conduct that occurs on campus or at university-sponsored events.

LAWRENCE • STATE Pilot dies in Wichita twin-engine plane crash Wichita (ap) — A twin-engine Cessna 310 crashed near a west Wichita neighborhood Friday, killing the pilot.

Wichita Fire Chief Ron Blackwell said the plane crashed about 4 p.m. in a wooded area behind some homes.

With its high ceilings, polished concrete flooring and metal rafters, the building looks more like a tech company than a school, and that was exactly the intention, explained Patrick Kelly, director of career and technical education for the Lawrence school district.

“Students wanted to make sure that the building didn’t look like a school,” Kelly said. “They asked that it look like a workplace or a college.”

This is the first school year for the 33,000-squarefoot center, which was completed over the summer with funds from the construction bond issue approved by Lawrence voters in 2013. Courses at the LCCC are available to Lawrence high school juniors and seniors in seven areas: Health & Emergency Care, Innovation & Engineering, Law & Government, Bio & Forensic Science,

At the age of 17 he volunteered to serve in the US Army, and was awarded the American Campaign, AsiaticPacific Campaign, Good Conduct and World War II Victory medals before his honorable discharge in 1946.

Bob earned Bachelor and Master of Science degrees at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

He then spent six years in Venezuela as a field party geologist directing structural and stratigraphic mapping expeditions for oil exploration in remote areas of Venezuela and Columbia. He and his team explored portions of the Andes, the Falcon Desert and the Coast Range on mule back.

He met his wife, Mary, while she was visiting her brother in Venezuela.

Bob went on to earn a PhD in Geology from the Virginia Polytechnic

Institute in 1959, where he was elected to membership in Sigma Xi. He was a scientist with the US Geological Survey (USGS) for 25 years, spending two years in New Mexico as a visiting professor, and five years in Montana as a geothermal hydrologist. Bob retired from the USGS, Water Resources Division in Lawrence in 1987.

As an avid and vibrant outdoorsman, Bob was in his element when he was outside enjoying nature’s diversity.

Survivors include Mary, his wife of 63 years, son Andy, daughter Suzanne, four grandsons and one granddaughter. In honor of Bob’s wishes, no service is planned; a family gathering will be held at a later date to celebrate Bob’s life.

Tweets CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“The trouble is, the Student Code did not give the University authority to act when the misconduct occurred somewhere other than its campus or at University sponsored or supervised events,” Judge Stephen Hill wrote for the panel. “There is no proof in the record that Yeasin posted the tweets while he was on campus.”

Joining Hill in the decision were Judges Henry Green and Timothy Lahey, a Sedgwick County judge who was assigned to the case.

Yeasin was expelled in 2013 after posting a series of derogatory tweets about his former girlfriend.

The university had previously issued a no-contact order prohibiting him from having “any physical, verbal, electronic, or written communication with (the victim), her family, her friends or her associates,” either directly or indirectly.

The case has drawn national attention because it comes at the same time universities are facing increasing pressure to deal with sexual harassment and assault against students. his business partners — fellow KU grads Lucas Thompson and Ryan Henrich — think the breakout concept will be a popular addition to Lawrence’s entertainment scene. The trio expects Breakout Lawrence to be a hit with college students who are looking for something new to do on the nighttime scene. But in Kansas City, the business also has been popular with families. Baysinger said he thinks more and more people are looking for entertainment options that allow them to participate rather than just watch.

“At the end of the day, it gives you a better story to tell,” Baysinger said. “We see families or groups come in, and when they are done, we’ll notice that they walk all the way to their cars, and they are so busy talking they don’t even look at their phones to see what call or text they missed over the last hour. It is real entertainment. It is not passive entertainment.”

Blackwell said the pilot was the only person on board the plane.

There was no fire at the crash site and no homes in the area were seriously damaged.

The pilot had taken off from a Wichita airport and then radioed that the plane

was experiencing problems. Blackwell said the pilot was told to return to the airport and that is when the plane went down.

The fire chief said the investigation is continuing.

The pilot’s identity and the flight plan of the plane were not immediately available.

The exposed infrastructure, in addition to adding to the atmosphere of the building, also serves as a teaching resource, Kelly said.

“With students taking classes in construction, HVAC and computer networking, keeping the infrastructure exposed provided some teaching opportunities,” he said.

Students enrolled in the program have four periods per week at their home high school and three periods at the LCCC. Transportation to the center is provided or students may drive themselves. The mission of the LCCC is to develop skills for in-demand and high-paying jobs by offering classes worth college credit, tuition-free, with instruction from business and industry professionals.

“A hallmark of the center is to integrate people from the professions,” said Lawrence schools Superin-

tendent Rick Doll. “It’s trying to treat kids like adult professionals.”

The LCCC is partnered with the adjacent Dwayne Peaslee Technical Training Center, which has industrial courses, such as carpentry, welding and manufacturing. The Peaslee tech center houses the Lawrence Workforce Center and also offers courses from several area colleges.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony at the LCCC, 2910 Haskell Ave., will be 10 a.m.

Saturday, followed by an open house of the LCCC and Peaslee tech center.

A “Parade of Schools” will also be this Saturday, and will include the five elementary schools where additions and renovations funded by the bond construction are complete or nearing completion: Langston Hughes, Cordley, Hillcrest, New York and Quail Run.

KU is one of more than 70 universities currently under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education for possible violations of federal law over the handling of sexual violence and harassment complaints.

But the case also raised questions about free speech and the extent to which universities can restrict what students say or write through social media.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas, the Student Press Law Center and the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education all filed friend of the court briefs in the case.

KU had argued it was required to extend the code to off-campus behavior to comply with Title IX of the federal Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on sex, including sexual harassment, at educational institutions that receive federal funds.

As evidence, KU referred to a “Dear Colleague” letter that the U.S. Department of Education sent to several universities in 2011 advising them that offcampus conduct can affect the campus environment and that “schools should consider the effects of the off-campus conduct when evaluating whether there is a hostile environment on campus.”

KU has not yet said whether it plans to appeal the decision to the Kansas Supreme Court.

Plans call for Breakout Lawrence to charge $28 per person for the onehour adventure. Baysinger is promising a challenge. He said only about 30 percent of participants actually have successfully cracked the code at the Kansas City facility.

The record for someone cracking the code is about 40 minutes.

Baysinger said he got the idea for the breakout concept after going to a similar business in Nashville about two years ago. The breakout businesses have been in the U.S. for about four years.

The concept got started in East Asia about eight years ago. (I guess they are not counting my dirty laundry missions because I’ve been working to break out of that chore for more than a decade.)

“We think Lawrence is going to be a perfect place for it,” Baysinger said.

BRIEFLY Wichita may drop fines for cyclists Wichita — Wichita officials are considering a plan to end penalties for people who ride bicycles at night without headlights.

And the city will give away hundreds of free lights to riders who need them.

The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board is recommending that riding without a light be treated as an equipment violation instead of a moving violation. If the City Council approves, violators would receive a “fix-it” ticket and could avoid a fine by putting a light on their bike and getting a police officer to sign off.

The Wichita Eagle reports that riding without a light at night is listed in the city code as a $20 fine, but the fine comes with $67 in add-on costs.

About 140 bikers were cited for headlight violations last year.

Boehner CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

But Rep. Tim Huelskamp, who has been part of the conservative bloc that reportedly drove Boehner, 65, from office, showed nothing but scorn in a series of Twitter posts Friday.

“Today the establishment lost,” Huelskamp posted shortly after Boehner’s announcement.

“The only thing @ SpeakerBoehner has to lose now is his #prolife principles,” he posted in another, followed by the hashtags #Boehner, #PPSellsBabyParts, and #DefundPP. That final post provided a glimpse into the controversy that led up to Boehner’s resignation, and one of the sources of an open rift within the ranks of congressional Republicans.

The last two hashtags refer to Planned Parent-

KU

“

Since (Boehner’s) election to leadership, he has unfortunately been plagued by a group of Republican naysayers, including one from Kansas.”

— Former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole hood, a private, nonprofit agency that receives federal funding to provide family planning and other kinds of health care for women. It also provides abortion services, but does not receive federal funding for that.

Recently released “sting” videos recorded by an anti-abortion activist group have suggested that officials at Planned Parenthood engaged in the illegal sale of fetal tissue left over from abortions. Planned Parenthood has vehemently denied those allegations, saying the videos were edited and doctored to leave viewers with a false impression.

Huelskamp is part of a group of about 30 staunch conservatives who have

been frustrated at what they saw as Boehner’s unwillingness to be more confrontational with President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats.

Although he did not respond to interview requests from Kansas reporters, he was quoted in a Washington Post story saying that Obama had “run circles around us since John Boehner was speaker of the House.”

Former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole issued a statement Friday defending Boehner, and criticizing Huelskamp and other conservatives in the House for their opposition to the Speaker.

“Since (Boehner’s) election to leadership, he has unfortunately been

down 2.5 percent at Kansas State, 3.4 percent at Wichita State, 3.1 percent at Pittsburg State and a fraction of 1 percent at Emporia State.

Statewide, overall university enrollment went down 890 students, or just under 1 percent, to 94,280 students, according to the Regents report.

Community college enrollment went down 2.9 percent to 72,599. Technical college enrollment went up 6.3 percent to 7,277.

The official fall enrollment census is taken on the 20th day of classes.

For KU, that was Monday.

Freshman class sets new records In addition to the freshman class’ growth, KU touted its quality. According to KU, the new freshman class: l Has the highest average high school GPA and second-highest average ACT score (25.2) in KU’s history. l Set KU records for percentage of students with an ACT/converted SAT score of 30 or higher (16.9 percent) and an ACT score of 27 or higher (38 percent). l Has the second-highest percentage of minority students (22.3 percent) on record.

University leaders say new academic experiences and recruitment procedures appear to be working.

One example came with the KU Core Curriculum launched two years ago, Gray-Little said. “We became one of the few public Association of American Universities institutions

— Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little

to specifically include undergraduate research, internships and study abroad in undergraduate curriculum.”

Matt Melvin, vice provost of enrollment management, said in KU’s news release that the university has made a more purposeful, datainformed effort in recent years to “identify, attract, fund and enroll best-fit students.”

Some minorities up, others down In the minority category of the new freshman class, one segment, international students, went up dramatically while another category, black students, saw the biggest drop in number of students from 2014 to 2015.

According to KU data: l There are 289 foreign students in the new class, which is 142 (or 96.6 percent) more than last year. l There are 179 black students in the class, which is 68 (or 27.5 percent) fewer than last year.

International student recruitment, in

part through KU’s oneyear-old International Academic Accelerator Program, has been a priority for KU, which was pleased with the bump in numbers.

“That really speaks to the fact that we have the brand to recruit nationally and internationally,” university spokesman Joe Monaco said.

Regarding black students, he said, “certainly, we’d prefer to have seen African-American freshman student enrollment increase this year ... This will continue to be a priority for the university.”

The number of black freshmen this fall is lower than 2014 and 2013, but higher than previous years, according to KU data.

The new freshman class has 336 Hispanic students (up 10.5 percent from last year), 222 multiracial students (same as last year) and 180 Asian students (up 2.9 percent from last year).

“In their refusal to support John, it has been difficult for House Republicans to pass important legislation.”

With the end of the federal fiscal year coming Wednesday, they were insisting on passing a spending bill for the new fiscal year that would withhold federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

But the Senate on Thursday rejected a bill to defund Planned Parenthood, and if House Republicans had continued to insist on that, it would have forced another partial shutdown of the federal government starting Thursday.

After Boehner’s announcement, House Republicans announced an agreement to pass a clean spending bill to keep the government operating.

Rep. Mike Pompeo, a Wichita Republican, was more charitable

in his comments about Boehner.

“During my four-and-ahalf (years) in Congress, the problem has always been the failed leadership of President Obama, not the House of Representatives,” Pompeo said in a statement. “While the Speaker and I sometimes disagreed on tactics, no one can question his commitment to making America a better place. I thank him for his service to our country, and I wish him all the best in the future.”

Rep. Kevin Yoder, an Overland Park Republican, issued a statement praising Boehner.

“Speaker Boehner is a good man and I’m thankful for his service and dedication to this country,” Yoder said. “I respect his decision to step aside and allow the House Republican Conference to elect a new leader so we can move forward together and solve the challenges facing our nation. I wish the best to John, Debbie, and his entire family.”

Interjection: She is correct. Daisy Hill got its name from the wild daisies that covered it once upon a time. Back to Lois: “When my sister, also a KU student, and I realized how extensive the construction was going to be on campus west of Iowa Street, we transplanted daisies to our family’s farm in central Kansas. Several years ago I transplanted daisies from the family farm back to Lawrence. They now thrive in our yard.”

She shared two old, fuzzy — and precious — black and white snapshots of her younger siblings visiting her at KU in 1969.

They’re playing in the daisies that once covered the area where the Lied Center and the Dole Institute of Politics are now.

Obviously Daisy Hill and West Campus will never revert to vast fields of daisies. But wouldn’t it be neat if KU included them in the landscaping plan? Let me know if anyone starts a petition — bring back the daisies!

Another reader saw our recent A&E feature about Phog Allen’s piano being moved to the chancellor’s residence and wondered what became of The Outlook’s old piano that moved out to make way for Phog’s.

When my sister, also a KU student, and I realized how extensive the construction was going to be on campus west of Iowa Street, we transplanted daisies to our family’s farm in central Kansas. ” — Lois Orth-Lopez, Lawrence resident Apparently it touched off a game of piano dominoes.

“While the piano movers had all their gear the Outlook piano, which is a ‘Chickering Quarter-Grand, Scale 121,’ was loaded on the truck and delivered to Ellsworth Hall,” where it got a tune-up, KU Student Housing associate director Kip Grosshans said.

The small upright Wurlitzer that had been in the Ellsworth lobby was moved to Oliver Hall, Grosshans said.

That’s where the chain ends, though, as the piano at Oliver Hall was “beyond repair,” Grosshans said. As other circa 1970s instruments need replacing, he said, KU Housing may consider digital pianos, like the one at the new Oswald/Self Hall.

World Company websites honored Staff Reports

Two websites owned

by The World Company have won national awards for their coverage of local news and Kansas University sports.

LJWorld.com and KUsports.com both have won first-place honors in the digital media contest sponsored by the Local Media Association.

LJWorld.com won best overall news site for websites that have fewer than 400,000 unique monthly visitors. KUsports.com won first place for the best use of multimedia

Brouwer said. In particular, they will examine veterans, women and those suspected of suffering from serious mental illnesses.

The jail has seen a recent uptick in female inmates, and of the estimated 50 people assessed each month, about 20 of them will be women, Brouwer said. Of the estimated 25 people who will receive aid each month, about 10 will be women.

“We’re trying to develop a process to assess someone and say, ‘OK, this person is not a risk to the community from a criminal standpoint, but they do have needs,’” Brouwer said. “And we have the opportunity to divert them to a more appropriate area instead of putting them in jail.”

Alternative options to jail — which may include the incorporation of a mental health court, private aid intervention, crisis intervention and more — are a part of an ongoing discussion about a potential jail expansion and mental health crisis intervention center

editorial content for websites with fewer than 400,000 unique monthly visitors.

News and sports sites from across the country competed for honors in the Local Media Association contest. Judges cited LJWorld.com for “strong local coverage from top to bottom.” KUsports. com was cited as “a site that is built to cater to and satisfy hard-core KU fans, of which there are many.”

A representative of The World Company will be in Denver on Thursday to receive the awards

at a ceremony.

In addition, the websites also won the following awards among websites with 400,000 or fewer unique monthly visitors: l Third Place — Best Community Website, LJWorld.com l Third Place — Best Layout and Design for desktop and mobile platforms, KUsports.com l Honorable Mention — Best Contest, Best of Lawrence 2014 l Honorable Mention — Best Blog Initiative for websites of all sizes, KUsports.com

projects in Douglas County.

The grant money, which was awarded from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, is not expected to come through until around January, Brouwer said. In the coming months, however, the organization will partner with Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center to hire and train the two AID case managers who will work at the jail.

Technically, the case managers will be Bert Nash employees, said David Johnson, the organization’s CEO, who said he was pleased to hear of the award.

“I’m really appreciative of getting the grant,” he said. “It’s an example of the strong working relationship that we’ve already established with the sheriff’s office and the jail and our commitment to make sure everybody is getting the care they need.”

Although news of the grant is still fresh, Johnson said he expects the organizations to “get the ball rolling” soon as far as hiring the case managers and developing a plan of attack.

“It’s great to get the additional resources to get that going,” he said.

Brouwer said he and

representatives from Bert Nash and Kansas University will provide an additional $54,765 of in-kind support to establish the program, write policies and track the ongoing progress.

That support, which will largely consist of hours of work rather than cash, acts as a sort of investment that qualifies the organizations for the grant.

Another community partner for the ongoing work at the jail is the Lawrence Community Shelter, said Trey Meyer, the shelter’s director of programs.

All too often, those with serious mental illnesses end up in the shelter or in the hands of police officers, but they don’t belong in jail, Meyer said in an email.

“We do what we can with what we have, but we are not equipped to provide the kinds and levels of care that these people often need,” Meyer wrote. “As such, we enthusiastically support the identification and development of resources to help people in those circumstances, and we look forward to working with law enforcement, the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center and KU to address this issue.”

Brownback email addresses welfare policies Topeka (ap) — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback this week sent a message criticizing government dependence and touting his own welfare reforms to supporters of his successful 2014 campaign for re-election.

The email was sent Wednesday night by Melika Willoughby, the governor’s deputy director of communications. Brownback’s office regularly has sent out emails lauding his policies since he was reelected, The Wichita Eagle reported.

In the email, the Republican governor claims that “generations have been “locked into the crippling cycle of government dependence” and accuses Democrats of trying to “increase the number

of Americans who are dependent on the government.”

“This growing dependency is necessary to justify the big government and high tax policies they support,” the email states.

“Under the guise of helping struggling Americans, they’ve spent billions of dollars in the so-called ‘war on poverty.’”

A bill Brownback signed in April that solidified a work requirement for able-bodied welfare recipients without dependents also was praised in the email.

“Poverty is subdued not when liberals throw money at an issue, but when Kansans are able to stand independently — without the confining shackles of artificial

Beatrix

Beatrix came in with a large group of cats who had been seized by the state. Sometimes cats from these situations are under socialized and it can take time for them to be adoptable.

She does well with other cats and is a sweet 1 year old Domestic Short Hair.

MiriaM

oswald

When you put the words energetic and goofball together, what you might come up with is Oswald. Be ready for some get up and go, with a lot of fun all rolled into one. This sweet boy is a 6 year old American Bulldog mix with a white and tan coat. He might be a bit much for the tiny members of the family, but he would love to have someone who can keep him active.

Betty Jo

Betty Jo doesn’t want you to think she is a diva, but she does have a special request for her new family.

If you wouldn’t mind her being the only pet “child” that would suit her just fine. Dogs make her nervous and other cats make her grumpy. She is a 7 year old Domestic Short Hair with a gray tabby coat.

government assistance,” Willoughby wrote in the email. “With work, comes dignity, self-respect, and a boundless future.”

The governor’s suggestion that Americans who need government assistance are shackled shows a “warped philosophy” about the nature of poverty, said Democratic state Sen. David Haley of Kansas City.

The email sparked backlash on social media, with critics pointing out that Brownback hasn’t fulfilled his promise to create more jobs.

“Work requires jobs.

Still waiting for promised jobs to materialize.

Meanwhile, over 3,000 state jobs cut,” the Kansas Organization of State Employees said on Twitter.

Dear Annie: I was married the first time for 23 long years and I could do nothing right, no matter how hard I tried. I worked fulltime, was a soccer mom and yet dinner better be on the table at 5:30, or else. If he wiped his hands over the furniture and found dust, I was put in my place.

Fast forward to my second marriage, now going on 20 years. The pattern hasn’t changed.

We get along great for quite a while, but if I try to fix a special meal, he does his best to ruin the evening. Today, I made pasta salad and had saved up for two steaks that I barbecued to perfection. What does he say? “This is too much.

My steak has fat on it. I don’t like pasta salad.”

‘Rocky’ start is a classic on HBO Long before the giddy gore of “Scream Queens” and the overthe-top spoof shocks of “Sharknado,” the 1975 musical “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” (11 p.m., HBO) attracted cult audiences to repeat viewings at midnight movie matinees.

There they dressed up in character, brought props and shouted out questions answered by the film’s intentionally arch and ridiculous dialogue.

These ritual viewings anticipated the shared snark of social media and the unabashedly geeky popsaturated communal energy of Comic-Con — not to mention “Glee.”

To celebrate “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and its 40th anniversary, HBO has scheduled a special broadcast.

At midnight, of course. Bring your own umbrella.

The true-life TV movie “Murder in Mexico” (7 p.m., Lifetime) recalls “Survivor” producer Bruce Beresford-Redman (Colin Egglesfield), who became the chief suspect after his wife was found murdered while on vacation.

For those who prefer their murder mysteries unscripted, “48 Hours” (8 p.m., CBS) opens its 28th season with a look at a Virginia coed’s murder that may be linked to a decadelong, statewide killing spree.

Cult choice Quentin Tarantino’s 1997 thriller “Jackie Brown” (5:25 p.m., Cinemax) helped revive the careers of blaxploitation legend Pam Grier and character actor Robert Forster.

A new drug gives an ordinary man special powers on “Limitless” (6 p.m., CBS).

Jerrod’s birthday coincides with civil unrest on “The Carmichael Show” (7 p.m., NBC).

Tonight’s other highlights

College football action includes UCLA at Arizona (7 p.m., ABC) and Utah at Oregon (7:30 p.m., Fox).

Premier Boxing Champions (7:30 p.m., NBC), live from Birmingham, Alabama.

The doctor finds himself trapped on “Doctor Who” (8 p.m., BBC America).

Walter hopes to reconcile with his son on “Blunt Talk” (8 p.m., Starz).

Cam’s shoe launch sparks drama on “Survivor’s Remorse” (8:30 p.m., Starz).

Dear Annie: My brother and I are both in our 60s, and we phone each other regularly. My problem is, over the years, I have been fortunate and, though not wealthy, am pretty well-off. My brother, however, has barely eked out a living for himself and his wife.

When he called the other day to see what I was up to, I didn’t want to say that I had been buying a rental property. I don’t know how to discuss this with him without seeming as though I’m putting him down for not being as successful. Any hints?

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, Sept. 26: This year you often have wonderful ideas. You might want to see how grounded they are, though, before you proceed. Be aware of what is not working in your life. If you are single, be careful with whom you choose to date.

If you are attached, the two of you benefit from going on getaways.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) If you were open about how you feel, you would express a need to be more reserved. Don’t spread yourself too thin. Tonight: Happy at home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You’ll want to meet up with a friend who can be somewhat unpredictable. Revise your thinking. Tonight: Hang out.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Be aware of how you project yourself. Should you choose to be silly, you will draw more silliness toward you. Tonight: A favorite place.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might not know what to do about a request from a relative. The other party can sense your reluctance. Tonight: Where you can listen to music.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You could feel as if someone is demanding too much from you. Establishing limits will be up to you. Tonight: Spice up

brother surely knows that you have more money than he does. He may, in fact, enjoy hearing about the things you are able to buy. There may be some envy, naturally, but not as much as you think. As long as you aren’t boasting, he may not begrudge you or your fortune. You don’t have to tell him everything, but it’s OK to say that you bought a new home, car or other major purchase.

He wouldn’t want to be kept in the dark. Once in a while, you could even ask him what he thinks, provided you truly listen. You can ask him how he feels about this, saying you cherish the relationship and don’t want to jeopardize it.

your evening.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others will seek you out to share some wonderful ideas. Express a sense of humor in dealing with a problem. Tonight: Out. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your insistence to have a situation fit your specs could backfire when you least expect it to. A friend eggs you on in a new direction. Tonight: Pace yourself.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be too tired to continue down the present path.

Rethink your plans. Allow more fun into interactions. Tonight: Playful.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might not intentionally oppose someone, but you will anyway. You can’t seem to agree.

Tonight: Get into a fun game.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Though you are overwhelmed, you might want to do something with someone you always have a good time with.

Tonight: Togetherness feels great.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be more open about your limitations. A loved one appreciates what you have to handle.

Tonight: Make it your treat.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Be aware of what others expect from you. You’ll need to deal with their expectations.

Tonight: Ask and you shall receive.

Pope teaches about nature of power Washington — Pope Francis and Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in America this week the same way, making a slow descent down an airplane ramp toward a waiting entourage. Watching the two, you couldn’t help wondering: Which man is more powerful in the world today?

Francis is arguably the dominant figure, despite the old crack about how many army divisions the pope has, and the potency of a rising China.

That’s because the nature of power has changed: Francis embodies the kind of intangible but world-changing influence that matters most now, which Harvard professor Joseph Nye a decade ago famously described in his book “Soft Power.”

Francis’ primacy is clear when you add the other two figures who will dominate the stage in coming days as the United Nations gathers in New York, President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Their quest for temporal power — in Putin’s case, through the most aggressive use of Russian military force in a generation — is more fragile than it looks.

“Soft power rests on the ability to shape the preferences of others,” Nye wrote in his 2004 book. The essence of such influence, he explained, was that it “co-opts people rather than coerces them.” This past decade has been a series of lessons about the limits of the

“

What’s fascinating, watching Xi, Obama and Putin on the same global stage with Francis, is that the political leaders seem to crave the authenticity that the religious leader commands so effortlessly.”

military version of hard power to achieve results, most notably in Iraq.

Why is Francis such a magnetic figure? The answer illustrates a paradox of power that resonates with the Christian message. This pope is strong because he is humble. His message resonates in a complex world because it is simple. He disdains the trappings of power, the pomp and fanfare, and thereby enhances his real power. All of his words and actions seem to be going in the same direction.

Francis’ special impact was clear Thursday when his speech to a joint session of con-

gress brought a rare moment of bipartisanship to the House chamber. The pope touched on political issues — from immigration to climate change to the sanctity of life — but his core message was the simplest precept of tolerance and faith: the “Golden Rule.” On the Capitol balcony afterward, he even reached out to unbelievers, asking them for good wishes.

What’s fascinating, watching Xi, Obama and Putin on the same global stage with Francis, is that the political leaders seem to crave the authenticity that the religious leader commands so effortlessly.

Obama had this intangible quality in his first year as president. His 2009 Nobel Prize might have been premature, but it reflected a global yearning for Obama’s trademark theme, “hope.” Obama lost this halo as he shouldered the commanderin-chief’s burdens of wars and drone strikes. His hard and soft power messages got mixed.

The world began to perceive him as warlike and inflexible, while many Americans began to see him as pliable and weak.

With the exception of the Iran nuclear agreement, where Obama embraced a strategy his first day in office and carried it through systematically, he also came to be seen as reactive, rather than visionary. That’s a mistake Francis never makes.

Putin is a man hungry for soft power, even as he flexes his mus-

cles, literally and figuratively.

He wants to be seen as the barechested big-game hunter, and he seems to relish his experiments with paramilitary “hybrid warfare” in Ukraine. But his ambition (and real power) is something deeper — an appeal to the aspirations and grievances of a Russia that feels its culture and values have been ignored. However distasteful Putin’s actions may be, the West should recognize the spiritual yearning that underlies his power — the soft side of hard.

Xi, meanwhile, is in some ways the most paradoxical of the figures visiting America.

Like Putin, he has tried to operate as a “big guy” in the world arena — “Xi Dada,” or Big Daddy Xi, is his Chinese nickname. But even as he cloaks himself in the garments of hard power, and ruthlessly consolidates control of the Communist Party machinery, Xi misses the soft touch. China over the past two years has made enemies of most of its Asian neighbors.

Xi’s power grab at home has stirred dissent and even whispers of unrest.

A pope is a teacher, always.

But this one is teaching us about the nature of power in a world where social media can create an intimate bond with even the grandest figure. This bishop of Rome has unusual impact because he disdains the throne.

PUBLIC FORUM

Inspection ‘deal’ To the editor: A good in-depth article appeared in Sunday’s Journal-World about the continuing saga concerning the school construction projects. The jist of the article was the school district struck a “deal” with the sitting city commissioners to waive the inspections and fees, hire an unnamed structural inspection company and have the balance of the normally required inspections done for free by the county. However, it was also agreed that the county has no enforcement capability.

Some area building inspection departments weighed in that this typically was not allowed and was inadvisable. This is very poor stewardship of our tax money as well as an unnecessary risk to the students and staff who will be occupying these buildings. Building codes are minimum standards, not something to aspire to.

Soliciting low competitive bidders obligates the winning contractor to honor contract terms and conditions.

The owner is also obligated to enforce those terms and conditions. Somebody has to look over the construction work daily from an owner’s standpoint. The design professionals typically access percentage completion on a project based on progress payment submitted but do not do detailed inspections unless a particular situation arises that requires attention.

No enforceable inspections, obvious lack of oversight by the school district, and one wonders when the next shoe will drop. I hope the window Doll is looking through in the photo in Monday’s J-W has the required tempered

safety glass, but who knows for sure?

John Purcell, Lawrence

Plan makes no sense To the editor: I have been following the various arguments regarding the proposed narrowing of Kasold Drive from four lanes to two.

The arguments in favor of this action don’t make the slightest sense to me. Why on earth would we want to pay good money to strip out and destroy two perfectly good road lanes?

I drive that stretch of road several times a week, and I’ve never seen a pedestrian wanting to cross at the Harvard intersection. Never.

A recent study found that there are presently 122 million commuters.

About seven-tenths of one percent of those people commute to work by bicycle. We should spend another million dollars for this tiny, tiny fraction of our populace?

Frankly, 30-pound bicycles and 3,000-pound vehicles simply don’t mix very well, even with so-called “bike lanes.” In the eight years I’ve lived in Lawrence, I’ve had three very close calls, and all involved bicycles.

One ran a red light at Sixth and Massachusetts, one passed me on the right as I was turning into a parking space on Massachusetts, and one ran a stop sign on Wakarusa Drive and Harvard Road. All three of these incidents easily could have been fatalities.

We need all the traffic lanes we can get.

Richard L. Warrick, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for Sept. 26, 1915: years “Officer Froeliago ger of the city police IN 1915 force essayed the role of lifesaver today and saved a dog which had lodged on one of the piles of brush jammed against the piers of the Kaw bridge.

The animal came swimming down the river early this forenoon and managed to make a landing on the brush heap. Persons who had watched him fighting the current

notified the police station, and Officer Froeliger and Chief Fisher went to the rescue. Under the direction of the chief, Officer Froeliger managed to throw the loop of a long rope over the animal’s head. He was drawn by the neck up to the bridge. This experience put the dog down and out for a short time, but he soon revived and frisked in a grateful way about the feet of the rescuers.”

“The problem of what is to be done with Mary Brownsfield, known to many Lawrence people as ‘Cocaine Mary,’ again confronts

WASHINGTON President Obama and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping vowed Friday not to engage in economic cyber espionage, to cooperate more on climate change and to work out disputes in the South China Sea region while indicating differences remain in what has become a tense relationship between key global powers.

Obama said he told Xi about the “serious concerns” U.S. officials and businesses have over cyberspying by China, and “I indicated that it has to stop.” He

said the two nations have reached “a common understanding” against certain cyber activities, but “I have to insist that our work is not yet done.”

Said Obama: “The question now is, are words followed by actions?”

The president also raised the prospect of future sanctions on China, saying the U.S. would use “tools we have in our tool kit to go after cybercriminals, either retrospectively or prospectively.”

The United States and China struck a renewed deal to battle climate change and to open “new channels of communications” designed to avoid confrontations between American and Chinese surveillance flights over the

South China Sea, Obama said.

“The United States welcomes the rise of a China that is peaceful, stable, prosperous and a responsible player in global affairs,” the president said during Xi’s

state visit. “And I’m committed to expanding our cooperation even as we address disagreements candidly and constructively.”

Xi, speaking through an interpreter, described his talks with Obama as “constructive and productive,” designed to create a respectful relationship “without conflict, without confrontation.”

He also praised the planned cooperation on climate change.

Urging “dialogue” on the question of cybersecurity, Xi said that “confrontation and friction are not the right choice for both sides.” As for the South China Sea, Xi said China would respect lawful surveillance flights but would also protect “our own territorial sovereignty” and “legitimate maritime rights” as U.S. allies protest the apparent development of Chinese military bases in the region.

Secondhand smoke still kills

Of 480,000 Americans killed every year by cigarette smoking,

41,000 die from exposure to secondhand smoke.

Source Centers for Disease Control and Prevention TERRY BYRNE AND PAUL TRAP, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON It took a visit from the pope, a brewing conservative rebellion and a good night’s sleep for John Boehner — the son of a bartender and a devout Catholic from Cincinnati — to decide that Friday morning was the right moment for him to end his tumultuous five-year speakership and bring his 25-year career in Congress to a close.

“This morning, I woke up and I said my prayers, and I decided today’s the day I’m going to this,” Boehner told reporters in an emotional news conference Friday, a few hours after he stunned Washington by announcing he planned to resign, effective Oct. 30. “It’s as simple as that.”

But, of course, it was not that simple.

Boehner disclosed his decision less than 24 hours after he reveled in the first-ever papal speech to a joint session of Congress, something he has dreamed of for 20 years — and as the government was on the verge of another shutdown, with Boehner’s fractious caucus battling over a bill to fund the government beyond Sept. 30. Conservatives were threatening to oust Boehner from the speaker’s post if he did not take a hard line in using that spending bill to strip funding from Planned Parenthood, a reproductive health care provider that has come under scrutiny for its handling of fetal tissue.

“It had become clear to me that this prolonged leadership turmoil would do irreparable harm to the institution,” Boehner said. “I don’t want my members to have to go through this. And I certainly don’t want the institu-

“I’ve done everything I can to strengthen the institution, and my move today is another step in that effort.”

tion to have to go through this.”

Besides, Boehner said, “I was thinking about walking out the door anyway.”

When he was first elected speaker in 2011, Boehner said, he had only planned to serve two terms in that leadership role. But then last spring, his deputy and successor-in-waiting, Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, lost his primary race in a huge upset. Fearing the GOP leadership was not seasoned enough, Boehner quietly determined he would stay on for another year, and he planned

to announce his resignation Nov. 17 — his 66th birthday.

Wednesday evening, after an exhilarating and emotional day spent at the side of Pope Francis, Boehner started thinking about moving up that date. He said the pope’s visit was not the inspiration for his decision.

President Obama called Boehner “a patriot who cares deeply about the House.”

Asked if he had been pushed out, Speaker John Boehner, announcing his resignation from Congress on Friday, said flatly, “No.”

Pope Francis says grief still palpable at site of 9/11 attacks Rick Hampson USA TODAY

Pope Francis said Friday that grief remains palpable at the site where nearly 3,000 were killed in terrorist attacks 14 years ago at the World Trade Center.

“This is a place where we cry … for the powerlessness we feel when we see injustice, the inability to solve our differences, to dialogue,” Francis said, addressing an interfaith prayer service at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.

The pope also stopped at one of the memorial’s two outdoor reflecting pools, which trace the NEW YORK

footprints of the Twin Towers destroyed by hijacked planes, and said a silent prayer with about 1,000 invited guests. Most were survivors of the attack, relatives of those who were killed or emergency responders.

Francis, who has devoted much of his papacy to calling for peace, joined an interfaith prayer service at the lowest level of the subterranean 9/11 Museum. He shook hands with leaders of the Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and other religions on the stage of the memorial’s foundation hall.

In prayer, the pontiff recalled the 2001 terrorist attacks. “We are mindful of those who suffered

death, injury and loss on the same day,” he said. Francis said he felt “many different emotions standing here’’ — above all grief.

Francis also spoke of the 343 emergency workers who died at the site.

Francis called for peace in families, schools communities and “all the places in which war seems endless” and asked for a moment of silent prayer.

“It is possible to live in a world of peace,” he said, referring to “this great city” of New York, and the gathering before him as proof.

“It is possible to live together with our different paths, different cultures, different religions.”

NATION/WORLD Resignation helps avert shutdown — for now But battle likely will resume after Boehner leaves Erin Kelly and Paul Singer @ErinVKelly, @singernews USA TODAY

WASHINGTON House Speaker John Boehner’s resignation announcement Friday helped clear the way for Congress to avert a government shutdown next week, but his successor will face funding battles again in December when the fractious Republican caucus fights over spending levels and raising the debt limit.

Boehner, who is stepping down at the end of October, is expected to bring a bill to the House floor next week that would fund federal agencies through Dec. 11, averting the possibility of a partial government shutdown when the current fiscal year ends Thursday.

The Senate is also scheduled to

take up the bill, with Sentives to defund the naate Majority Leader tion’s largest abortion Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., provider were blocked scheduling a procedural Thursday by Senate vote for Monday.

While that would avert an immediate crisis, it leaves the next House speaker with the strong possibility of another shutdown fight when the temporary spending bill expires Dec. 12. That raises the specter of mass furloughs of government employees just before the Christmas holiday.

Congress also faces a vote on raising the debt limit, which conservative Republicans are loath to do. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates the U.S. Treasury will run out of borrowing power sometime between mid-November and early December unless Congress raises the debt limit and allows the government to borrow more money.

Delays in raising the debt limit have hurt the government’s credit rating in the past.

The expiration of a temporary

highway funding bill also is looming Oct. 29, right before Boehner leaves. But House leaders have indicated that they expect to pass another short-term funding extension before the deadline.

It is not yet clear who will succeed Boehner. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is one of the most likely candidates for the job, but he would not say Friday whether he intends to run. Ways and Means Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said he would support McCarthy.

Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C., a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said the group does not have enough “mass” to elect one of their own to the speakership, but they will be able to influence the process. Twentyfive Republicans voted against Boehner for speaker in January, with Florida Rep. Daniel Webster taking the largest chunk of those conservative protest votes.

Pontiff’s visit inspires a week of fun at tavern Rem Rieder @remrieder USA TODAY

The city is excited Pope Francis is coming to town, but Philly already has its own POPE — or P.O.P.E., if you want to be technical.

The Pub on Passyunk East, always referred to as the POPE, is a popular hipster beer bar in South Philadelphia that vividly reflects the change in one of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods.

Long an old-school Italian bastion — think Rocky and red-sauce restaurants — the conveniently located row house enclave has become a magnet for young new residents and a remarkable restaurant explosion along East Passyunk Avenue.

The POPE “has emerged as the focal point of the lively Passyunk Avenue beer-centric bar scene,” says Don Russell, Philly’s leading beer authority, the author of the Joe Sixpack column in the Philadelphia Daily News and the founder and first executive director of Philly Beer Week. Russell says the POPE “neatly symbolizes the neighborhood’s transition from old world ethnicity to tattooed hipsterism. Its arched interior brick walls are a tacky complement to chalkboard menus and a killer jukebox.”

More important than being a symbol, the POPE is first and foremost a great place to hang out, as well as a hotbed of poperelated special events during the week leading up to Francis’ visit to Philly on Saturday and Sunday.

Events included happy hour confessions, in which, if you were forgiven for your sins, you could win a prize. There was a “Last Supper,” a beer dinner featuring the wares of Founders, a highly regarded craft brewery in Grand Rapids, Mich.

There was a Bible dress-up party. On the days the pope is in town, a Popefest is planned outside the tavern on Dickinson Street. One night the bar planned to serve up religiously named beers from the legendary California brewery Russian River, whose lineup includes Damnation, Consecration, Supplication, Redemption and so on. Russian River, which also makes the much-worshiped Pliny the Elder, is virtually impossible to find in most of the East, except in beer-crazed Philadelphia.

And you can score one of the PHILADELPHIA

bar’s “Pope Rocks Philly 2015” Tshirts. Proceeds from the shirts will go to the American Red Cross.

The bar features special beers brewed for the POPE for the pope’s visit by regional breweries, including Philadelphia Brewing, Forest and Main Brewing and Saucony Creek Brewing.

Owner Dennis Hewlett doesn’t generally work behind the bar, but he planned some guest appearances in full papal regalia, aided by his “altar boys”: barbacks.

Hewlett, 43, grew up in northeast Philly, where he attended Archbishop Ryan High School.

The other pope, the one in Rome, would no doubt approve. Hewlett was living in South Philly when he found the locale for his dreamed-of bar two blocks away in 2006.

Dennis Hewlett, owner of the POPE, poses with a cutout of the real thing.

Hipsters — a term Hewlett hates — were the last thing on his mind when he opened. Hewlett said he wanted the POPE to be a haven for craft beer, “a neighborhood bar without any tricks or gimmickry.” The place did well from the start, and the demographic of the clientele evolved as the neighborhood did. Hewlett says the POPE’s success has “definitely exceeded my expectations.”

The POPE is a dark warren of rooms, a mélange of exposed brick, wood and stucco, with some classic Art Deco windows and a little stained glass thrown in. The decor is dominated by beer tchotchkes. As one waitress put it, it’s a dive bar, but a cut above. It clearly has struck a chord.

“Twenty years ago, when South Philly was still Little Italy, the POPE might have been heresy in this neighborhood,” Russell says.

“Today, it’s as revered as Francis himself.”

The world is a step closer to eliminating polio, with the World Health Organization’s announcement Friday that the disease is no longer spreading in Nigeria.

The last case of polio in Nigeria was diagnosed in July 2014, according to WHO. The agency waited until Friday to announce the end of routine spread of polio in order to verify results of lab tests. The last case on the African continent was diagnosed in August 2014.

If there are no new cases for two years, WHO could declare all of Africa polio-free.

That represents a huge achievement in the decades-long effort to vanquish polio, a virus that paralyzed 1,000 children a day as recently as 1988, the year that the Global Polio Eradication Initiative was launched.

Polio is now spreading in just two countries: Pakistan and Afghanistan. Although the number of polio cases has fallen 99% since 1988, WHO officials note that eliminating the final 1% of cases could prove challenging, given that the Taliban has banned vaccinations in parts of those countries that it controls.

But success in Nigeria shows that eliminating polio is possible, said Tunji Funsho, who leads Rotary International’s efforts to fight polio in Nigeria.

“Today serves not only as confirmation of Nigeria’s progress, but as an affirmation that our end goal is within reach: global polio eradication,” said Carol Pandak, director of PolioPlus at Rotary, one of the international aid groups that has worked to eliminate the disease. “While the end is in sight, polio remains a constant threat until every country is declared free from the debilitating disease.”

Only a decade ago, polio was uncontrolled in Nigeria, allowing the country to export cases around the world, fueling outbreaks as far away as Indonesia.

This year, however, there have been no polio cases in Nigeria, according to the WHO. Worldwide, there have been 54 cases of polio so far this year, compared to 182 by this time last year.

While there is no way to cure polio, it can be prevented with vaccines. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative, a public-private partnership, has set a goal of eliminating all polio cases by 2018. The partnership includes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Rotary International, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, WHO, Unicef and the United Nations Foundation.

The campaign, which has involved 20 million volunteers and $9 billion, has vaccinated 2.5 billion children since 1988.

Although the polio vaccine has been around since 1955, health workers often have trouble getting immunizations to children in isolated areas, both because of geography and political instability.

NOORULLAH SHIRZADA, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Polio cases remain in Afghanistan, where a health worker administers the vaccine to a child in Jalalabad in August.

In 2003, rumors began to circulate in northern Nigeria, which is predominantly Muslim, that polio vaccines were part of a conspiracy to sterilize Muslim girls and that the drops contained HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The governor of one northwestern state halted vaccination for a year, which led to a polio outbreak. The outbreak spread throughout Africa and even to Indonesia, where more than 400 children were paralyzed, said Sona Bari, the WHO spokeswoman on polio eradication.

Nigerian leaders elevated polio to a national priority.

“The single-word answer to what changed in Nigeria is leadership,” Bari said. She gives much of the credit to Muhammad Pate, who served as chairman of Nigeria’s Presidential Task Force on Polio Eradication.

Nigerian officials worked with traditional leaders to persuade them that polio vaccines were safe, said Pate, who is now a visiting scholar at Duke University.

Nigerian doctors and religious leaders also visited a vaccine factory in Indonesia, a predominantly Muslim country, to see how the immunizations were made, Funsho said.

Muslim religious leaders, called imams, issued fatwas, or religious teachings, noting vaccination is consistent with parents’ obligations to take care of their children. Nigerian leaders have been photographed giving oral polio drops to their own children or grandchildren, Funsho said.

“That has changed the perception of the vaccine from being something that is unsafe to something that saves lives,” Funsho said.

Nigerian leaders took time to listen to families and ask them why they weren’t interested in polio vaccines, Pate said. Some Nigerians were frustrated that health workers seemed only interested in giving them polio vaccines, even though people had so many other health needs.

So aid workers set up health camps, where, along with vaccines, people could get prenatal care, vitamins, nutritional sup-

plements and other health care, Bari said.

Nigeria also set up emergency operations centers throughout Nigeria, bringing everyone involved with polio eradication — including official international aid agencies — under one roof, Pate said.

Because Nigerian doctors can’t count on children to be vaccinated during regular checkups, as in the USA, health workers go door to door, Bari said. “They’re the real heroes,” she said.

Many of those involved in polio eradication say they fear Nigerians will become complacent.

“One year without polio is a milestone, but it’s not the end of polio,” said Michael Galway, who leads Gates Foundation’s polio effort. “If you provide a gap, polio will take advantage of it.”

NATION/WORLD Does Clinton have the Rx for rising health care costs?

Industry experts wonder if her proposals would solve problems Julie Rovner

Kaiser Health News

FACT CHECK

Email request narrative interrupted

H

Eugene Kiely l FactCheck.org

illary Clinton’s campaign and the State Department have provided incomplete and misleading accounts of when and why the department requested copies of work-related emails that she maintained on a private server.

Marie Harf, a former department spokeswoman, was asked at a media briefing on March 3 whether there was a connection between the department’s request for Clinton’s emails and the House Select Committee on Benghazi’s request for documents related to the deadly Sept. 11, 2012, attacks in Libya. Harf said the department in October 2014 sent letters to Clinton and three other secretaries “as part of our records maintenance upgrading.”

Harf noted the department’s October letter preceded the committee’s request in November. “So the letter actually went before we got the request from the select committee,” she said.

Clinton and her campaign have stuck to that timeline and narrative. Clinton repeatedly has said she was “asked to help the State Department” with “their recordkeeping.” She stressed that it was “not just me” but four other secretaries of State who received the October letter asking for copies of work-related emails. She did so most recently on Sept. 20 during an appearance on CBS’ Face the Nation.

We now learn, however, from The Washington Post that the State Department in the summer of 2014 contacted Clinton’s representatives to discuss her emails and her personal computer server, and that those conversations were prompted by the House committee on Benghazi and resulted in the letters that went out

in October 2014.

State Department spokesman John Kirby essentially confirmed what unnamed sources told the New York Times in a story on March 5. (A day after that article appeared, Harf acknowledged the committee requests were “a factor,” but she did not go as far as Kirby did in his email to the Post.)

Hillary Clinton’s timeline for when and why the State Department requested copies of emails has been disputed.

don’t know that. I can’t answer that,” Clinton told the Register.

“All I know is that they sent the same letter to everybody. That’s my understanding.”

We leave it to readers to decide the importance of this discrepancy.

The fact is, though, Clinton and her campaign — with the initial help of the State Department — provided an incomplete and misleading account when asked a fundamental question about the email controversy. Clinton described the request for her emails as a routine record-keeping request that was made to several former secretaries, just as she has inaccurately described her unusual email arrangement as common because previous “secretaries of State” did the “same thing.” In fact only one, Colin Powell, used personal emails for government business, and he didn’t have a personal server.

The State Department in summer 2014 contacted Clinton’s representatives to discuss her emails, prompted by the House committee on Benghazi It makes sense that the State Department would have contacted Clinton’s representatives in the summer of 2014, because the State Department has said that on Aug. 11, 2014, it gave the House Benghazi committee 15,000 pages of documents related to the Sept.

11, 2012, attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi that resulted in the deaths of four Americans. But those documents included only about eight emails from Clinton, according to the committee’s interim report, and some of them showed Clinton “used a private email account to communicate about official government business.”

The Des Moines Register asked Clinton about the Post story and the discrepancy between her account and the revised department version offered by Kirby. “I

On March 10, when she also at a news conference first addressed The New York Times story that said she exclusively used a personal email account to conduct official government business, her office provided a Q&A on her emails that made no reference to the discussions in the summer of 2014 or the fact that those conversations were prompted by the House Benghazi committee.

After Clinton formally entered the race, her campaign posted a second, undated Q&A called “Updated: The Facts About Hillary Clinton’s Emails” that repeated the question and answer about why the department asked for her emails. That Q&A also addressed why Clinton did not turn over her emails until December 2014 — 21 months after she left office in February 2013.

While the Republicans running for president are united in their desire to repeal the federal health law, Democrat Hillary Clinton is fashioning her own health care agenda to tackle out-of-pocket costs — but industry experts question whether her proposals would solve the problem.

In addition to defending the Affordable Care Act, Clinton released two separate proposals this week. One would seek to protect people with insurance from having to pay thousands of dollars in addition to their premiums for prescription drugs; the other would set overall limits on out-of-pocket health spending for those with insurance.

“When Americans get sick, high costs shouldn’t prevent them from getting better,” Clinton said in a statement provided by the campaign. “My plan would take a number of steps to ease the burden of medical expenses and protect health care consumers.”

The drug plan would, among other things, cap payments for covered prescriptions at $250 per month and let the government negotiate prices for the Medicare program. The overall health spending plan would let people see a doctor at least three times a year without having to first satisfy their deductible and create a new tax credit for those whose out-of-pocket spending is more than 5% of their annual income.

But while surveys show that health costs, particularly drug costs, are a top concern for many voters, it’s not at all clear that Clinton’s proposals — some of which have been mentioned for decades — would provide an actual cure.

“There’s no magic bullet here except getting health costs down,” said Len Nichols, a health economist at George Mason University and a longtime backer of the federal health law.

The fundamental problem, Nichols says, was built into the health law itself. By requiring many new benefits, such as maternity care and coverage for mental health and substance abuse, insurers were left with few choices when trying to keep premiums from spiraling. Many insurers narrowed their provider networks and collected more from customers who use the system most.

“The degree to which these

out-of-pocket realities hit those with chronic conditions harder, it means we’re not accomplishing the social objective of sharing the risk,” Nichols said.

But setting specific limits for those who are sick will drive up premiums for everyone, the insurance industry says. “When you look at mandating additional benefits, that has a huge impact on the cost of coverage,” said Clare Krusing, a spokeswoman for America’s Health Insurance Plans, an industry trade group.

And even if that was a tradeoff the public — and policymakers — decide they are willing to make, there is a phalanx of lobbyists in Washington bent on making sure many of these changes never happen.

Meanwhile, Clinton’s proposed limit on advertising to consumers for prescription drugs has drawn the ire of the advertising industry. The Association of National Advertisers in a statement called the proposal “wrong and misguided.”

THOMAS NORTHCUT, GETTY IMAGES

Hillary Clinton’s drug plan has come under fire from Republicans and the insurance industry.

Even the insurance industry, which has been relentlessly campaigning against high drug prices, has come out against Clinton’s plan.

Still, the advent of both blockbuster new drugs that cost tens or sometimes even hundreds of thousands of dollars, plus sudden spikes in prices of even generic medications, may prove to be a tipping point.

Republicans, meanwhile, have yet to settle on how they would replace the Affordable Care Act, concedes Chris Jacobs, a senior editor for the Conservative Review. But when it comes to cost, Republicans have a major case against authors of the health law, he says.

“They were never honest with the American people about how much this was really going to cost and the tradeoffs needed to pass it,” he said.

Nichols agrees, at least to a point. “The (health) law did answer all questions, but now we’re ready to revisit because we didn’t like all the answers.”

IN BRIEF NATIONAL ZOO’S BABY PANDA NAMED BEI BEI

A baby panda cub born at the National Zoo has officially been named Bei Bei, the zoo announced Friday.

Bei Bei means precious treasure. Bei Bei is a boy and was born Aug. 22. His twin died three days later, zoo officials said.

The U.S. and China first ladies, Michelle Obama and Madame Peng Liyuan, were at the National Zoo on Friday morning and gave speeches before the name was revealed. Obama and Liyuan chose the name for the cub. The previous panda cub born at the zoo, Bao Bao, was named after an online vote.

“The significant late-summer (and now early fall) warm spell has slowed the advance of color development,” said Michael Snyder, the chief foliage forecaster in Vermont, where fall colors typi-

cally bring 3.5 million visitors and $460 million to the state.

Cities such as Boston, New York, Chicago, Dallas and Denver are all on track to see a record warm September, according to the Weather Channel, so peak fall colors will likely be delayed

across the country until October.

Temperatures over the next three weeks are most important for beautiful fall colors, according to Marc Abrams, professor of Forest Ecology and Physiology at Penn State University. He said the weather during these weeks is more important for color than all the weather that’s preceded it this year.

He said the fall colors should be very good for much of the country if cooler weather comes and wet, windy weather stays away.

In addition to the Northeast, Abrams said good colors are also expected in the Appalachians, as far south as North Carolina and Tennessee.

—Doyle Rice MOTHER CRITICIZES POLICE SHOOTING OF SON

The fatal shooting of a paralyzed man in a wheelchair by Wilmington police has prompted a unit in the state attorney general’s office investigating and the local NAACP to question the use of force and to call for an indepen-

dent investigation.

Police say Jeremy “Bam” McDole, 28, was shot Wednesday after police responded to a call of an armed man in a wheelchair with a self-inflicted wound.

On Thursday, police Chief Bobby Cummings said McDole was armed and reaching for a weapon.

McDole’s family disputes that.

His mother, Phyllis, said her son did not have a weapon and would never harm himself.

“This was murder,” she said.

“He shot my son like he was roadkill.”

Cummings said officers responded to a 911 call Wednesday about a man with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

When officers arrived, he said, they repeatedly told him to put down his weapon and raise his arms.

When McDole began to reach for the gun, four officers opened fire, he said. The chief said police found a .38 caliber gun at McDole’s side.

MONEYLINE ECONOMIC GROWTH REVISED UPWARD TO 3.9% IN Q2 The U.S. economy grew at an even faster clip in the spring than previously estimated. But that growth likely slowed in the summer, held back by global headwinds and turbulent financial markets. The overall economy expanded at an annual rate of 3.9% in the April-June quarter, up from a previous estimate of 3.7%, the Commerce Department reported Friday. The new-found strength came from additional gains in consumer spending, business investment and residential construction.

Google could face new antitrust inquiry FTC investigating Android complaints Jessica Guynn @jguynn USA TODAY

Google may face a fresh round of U.S. antitrust scrutiny with regulators looking into whether it uses its Android mobile software to stifle competition.

The Federal Trade Commission is in the early stages of examining whether Google harms competitors by giving priority to its own applications and services such as search on Android devices, according to a person familiar with the situation who was not authorized to discuss it publicly. The FTC has not contacted Google to ask questions related to the probe, the person said.

Regulators have met with mobile application developers who allege Google puts rivals at a disadvantage, according to Bloomberg News, which reported early Friday that the FTC was looking into Android. Google declined to comment. The FTC also declined to comment.

Google bundles its products — such as search, email and maps — into its Android mobile software, which critics say abuses its dominant market position. The European Union is probing whether that practice harms rival applications as well as device manufacturers. Device manufacturers have to agree to put Google search prominently on devices if they license Google’s free Android mobile software.

Hiroshi Lockheimer, who heads up Android, defended that agreement in a blog post in April after European Union officials launched an antitrust inquiry into Android. Lockheimer said Google’s agreements with device manufacturers ensure that Android phones work well when people buy them by pre-loading basic services such as email and maps. He also said rival services are allowed to pre-install their own apps and services.

It has been two years since the FTC settled its last investigation with Google over alleged Web search bias. South Korean authorities conducted a two-year antitrust investigation of Google’s Android mobile software, but dropped the case in 2013 after finding no wrongdoing.

Google’s Android mobile software is the world’s most popular.

In the U.S. it accounted for 59% of the market, and Apple’s iPhone software had 38%, according to International Data Corp.

CONSUMERS LINE UP FOR APPLE’S NEW IPHONES The annual tech tradition of lining up outside Apple stores for the next iPhone resumed Friday, as consumers waited to snag the tech giant’s latest mobile devices: the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus.

The new iPhones launched in 12 countries Friday, including the U.S. and China. At Apple’s flagship Fifth Avenue store in New York, an estimated few hundred people queued up to get their new iPhones, but the scene was more subdued than iPhone launches past, perhaps because the pope was in town.

AFTER ABOUT A DECADE, SCION KILLING OFF ICONIC XB The boxy vehicle that put Scion on the automotive map, the xB, is going away. Scion says it is killing off the xB, one of the brand’s original and most eye-catching models, after two generations as part of the normal rotation of models. It will disappear after 2015. The original xB, which hit the streets about a decade ago, was compared to looking like a microwave oven on wheels. It was so different, and so cool, that the Japanese import caught on with customizers from the start. Clubs grew up around it.

You might not recognize a lot of the names on Fortune’s latest “40 Under 40” list, out Thursday, but a few will surely stand out.

Because, of course, Taylor Swift made the cut on the magazine’s annual crowning of the biggest, youngest stars of American business.

2015 has been Swift’s year, one in which she’s not only proven herself to be one of the biggest powerhouses in the entertainment industry, but also a significant influencer in the business world, too.

Over the summer, Swift, 25, famously got Apple to reverse its stance on not paying artists for

music streams during users’ free trial period of Apple Music after writing an open letter to the company on Tumblr. And last year, she pulled all of her music from the streaming service Spotify.

Earlier in the year, she had landed an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal in which she blasted the business model of streaming services for undervaluing artists.

Other notable entertainers turned business stars on the list include Jessica Alba, the 34-yearold actress and founder of The Honest Company, and 28-yearold UFC mixed martial arts fighter Ronda Rousey, who made appearances in three movies and has earned $5 million fighting in 2015, according to Fortune.

Alba has turned The Honest Company into one of the biggest names in sustainable products for

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch David Craig @davidgcraig USA TODAY

The third quarter is about to wrap up. The end probably can’t come soon enough for most stock investors.

Unless the last three trading days of September next week pack a powerful punch, this is going to be the worst quarterly performance for the Standard & Poor’s 500 index in five years.

How bad? Since June 30 the U.S. benchmark is down 6.4%. To find a worse performance you need to go all the way back to the third quarter of 2011, when the S&P shed an eye-popping 14.3%.

Even worse than the score for the quarter itself was what transpired along the way. First, the Chinese government shocked global markets when it unexpect-

edly devalued the yuan, which was seen as a sign the world’s second-biggest economy was doing worse than many had feared.

The shock waves were fast and furious. The Dow Jones industrial average suffered its biggest intraday point loss ever. The S&P briefly dropped into correction territory — a drop of at least 10% from the recent high — for the first time in four years.

And then the Federal Reserve left one of the biggest clouds of 5-day avg.: -0.72 uncertainty 6-month hanging over the avg.: -7.01 stock marketLargest when holding: it decided not AAPL to hike interest rates for the first Most bought: AAPL time in moreMost thansold: a decade — and NFLX didn’t do much to clear up when the hike might finally come. Fed Chair Janet Yellen, to her credit, said in a speech this week that she expects a rate hike this year.

Investors can only hope the final three months are dull. Boring would be a welcome change.

Analysts like what they see in Nike’s future Q: Is Nike a slam dunk stock now?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Nike isn’t just a superstar on the profit front, it’s a runaway stock success, and analysts think there’s still room for this stock to run.

The seller of sports apparel and footwear vaulted Friday to a record high after reporting 23% higher adjusted quarterly profit of $1.34 a share. The bottom line beat expectations by an impressive 13%. This isn’t just a stock that got lucky — it has been on a hot streak. Adjusted quarterly profit has topped expectations in each of the past five quarters, S&P Capital IQ says. Adjusted profit is expected to jump another nearly 16% in fiscal 2016.

Analysts remain bullish on the stock as its momentum continues. The stock is rated “outperform” on average by Wall Street analysts, who think the stock could be worth $132.96 a share in 18 months, which is 6.4% higher than its closing price Friday.

That’s not to say Nike isn’t going to have challenges. The biggest risk is the stock’s swelling valuation. Shares of Nike are trading for 31 times diluted earnings over the past 12 months, about double the broad market’s valuation. That’s the stock’s highest valuation since 1999 and could be difficult to maintain if the company can’t maintain the 13.7% annual profit growth analysts expect long term.

short-term rate from near zero by December. Uncertainty over the

Fed’s timetable for raising rates has been weighing on the market as investors seek clarity on monetary policy.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 113 points Friday, but the Standard & Poor’s 500 index was down 0.5%. The Nasdaq composite index was off 1%.

In economic news, the latest revision of second-quarter gross domestic product showed the economy grew at a faster pace than previously estimated. The economy grew at an annual rate of 3.9% in the April-June quarter, up from a previous estimate of 3.7%,

the Commerce Department said.

“A gradually increasing rate environment is a positive, because it sends a signal … that the U.S. is on a good, if not great, recovery to growth,” said Scott Keifer, global investment specialist at JPMorgan private bank. He expects economic growth to average about 2.5% next year, allowing the Fed to raise interest rates gradually.

Shares of Nike helped boost the Dow as the athletic gear reported earnings that beat expectations.

Nike was up 9% to $125 a share.

European markets rebounded Friday as scandal-plagued Volks-

wagen named Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller as its new CEO. France’s CAC 40 surged 3.1% and Britain’s FTSE 100 index rose 2.5%. Germany’s DAX index rose 2.8%, helped by a 4% rise in shares in BMW. The company saw a big drop Thursday on a report one of its models exceeded European emissions limits. The report did not allege cheating by BMW. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index gained 1.8% to close at 17,880.51, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index rose 0.4%. The Shanghai composite index lost 1.6%, closing at 3092.35.

Henley, 68, has been telling people this, in one way or another, since at least The Boys of Summer in 1984 — “Don’t look back, you can never look back.”

“The point is that it’s OK to look back, you just don’t want to live back there,” he says. “You look back in order to see where you’ve been so that you can appreciate where you are now, and maybe where you’re going.”

And yet, Henley, who earned a lifetime-achievement award from the Americana Music Association last week in Nashville, does look back on his first solo album in 15 years, out Friday. Named after his home county in Texas, the emotional but unsentimental album draws on the music and the land of Henley’s youth, but it doesn’t dwell there.

Cass County draws on the va-

“It’s not a country album; it’s not necessarily an Americana album.

It’s a Don Henley album.”

riety of musical styles Henley heard over the airwaves on stations such as New Orleans’ WNOE-AM, which introduced Henley to that city’s R&B sounds.

In the summer, when Henley and his father would drive to the auto-parts store he owned in the next county, they’d listen to Shreveport, La., station KWKHAM, which broadcast the Louisiana Hayride barn-dance show where acts such as Hank Williams, Kitty Wells, George Jones and a young Elvis Presley performed.

“We’d hear all that music,” Henley says. “That was a big part of my growing up.”

Henley and collaborator Stan Lynch started what became Cass County by recording a series of cover tunes that included a favorite first heard on KWKH, the Louvin Brothers’ 1955 hit When I Stop Dreaming. Henley recorded his version with Dolly Parton.

“She comes in and goes, ‘I know this song; I used to do it with Porter (Wagoner),’ ” Henley says. “She sings it once, and she goes, ‘Mmm, it’s in a pretty high key for me. I guess I’ll just have to rare back and get it.’ And, boy, she did. What a voice that girl has, coming out of such a small person.”

Parton’s one of many

high-profile guests on Cass County. The album opens with a version of singer-songwriter Tift Merritt’s Bramble Rose on which Henley trades parts with Mick Jagger and Miranda Lambert.

Henley duets with Merle Haggard on an original, The Cost of Living, and Martina McBride on That Old Flame. Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Lucinda Williams, Trisha Yearwood and others lend musical support elsewhere.

“I think this was the most enjoyable record I’ve ever made,” Henley says. “At this point in my life, I wouldn’t say songwriting has become easier, but it has become less traumatic for me. I’m not as afraid. I’m not paralyzing myself by trying too hard. I’ve been through that, where I raised the bar too high and I couldn’t meet it. This time, I went a little easier on myself: ‘Just be honest and write what comes out.’ It worked out fine.”

Henley had Cass County mostly finished a year ago but delayed its release until after his tour with the Eagles, which completed a two-year run this summer.

“People ask me: Why are you still doing this at your age? It’s because I have to. Not from a financial standpoint but for my sanity. That’s what I do, from a creative standpoint. It is now second in importance to me to being a father and a family man, but it’s still of great importance to me. It keeps me from going nuts.”

Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts world just got a population explosion.

A new website from the creators of the upcoming The Peanuts Movie (in theaters Nov. 6) allows fans to transform themselves into Schulz-inspired characters and share the results on Facebook and Twitter.

“Charles Schulz always said there’s a little bit of him in all the characters he created,” Peanuts Movie director Steve Martino says. “Now we’ve built this website in a way that everyone can have the experience of finding themselves as a Peanuts character. This is so much fun.”

USA TODAY reporter Bryan Alexander was the first to be transformed on the Peanutize Me.com website. (Blue Sky Studios animators personalized it with a newspaper in hand.)

Site visitors can chose a Peanuts-inspired avatar and specify their own hairstyle, skin color,

“You build the character that represents you,” Martino says.

“And since these are Peanuts characters, they sort of point to people’s inner child.”

Martino, who is putting the finishing touches on the 3-D ani-

mated The Peanuts Movie, says turning people into Peanuts has been a constant in the three years he has worked on the project.

The Blue Sky animators were continually sketching each other as characters and posting them around the studio.

Al Roker was so happy to be transformed into a Peanuts character in July that he exclaimed “I love my life” on the Today show.

Meghan Trainor, who wrote a

song for the film, also was thrilled to be transformed.

“There’s something about Peanuts that’s woven into the fabric of our lives,” Martino says. “Now those tools are out there for everyone to do a Peanut-ized version of themselves.”

Yes, even Donald Trump: “There’s a hairstyle that just might be close to his,” Martino says.

Craig Schulz, who wrote the film with his son, Bryan, says his father would love the site. “I always imagined what it would be like to live in Charlie Brown’s neighborhood,” Craig Schulz says.

“With this website, we all can.”

FREE STATE 43, LEAVENWORTH 7

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Losing streak becomes a monster Piscataway, N.J. — The Kansas University football program has arrived at the birthplace of college football to bury a monster, otherwise known as a 33game losing streak in games played outside of Lawrence.

As always, the equipment truck arrived ahead of the team. So far, it has traveled 21,010 miles (based on the quickroutes UP NEXT est offered on Who: Kansas mapquest. com) in (0-2) vs. search of a Rutgers victory.

The Jayhawks change uniforms, helmets, quarterbacks, even coaches. And still the needle remains on empty.

It started at the end of Mark Mangino’s too-short tenure as head coach. His team was responsible for the first five games of the streak, a few of them taking place after athletic director Lew Perkins had launched an investigation into the coach’s treatment of players. The average score of those five games: Home Team 37, Kansas 24.

Turner Gill, signed to a five-year, $10 million contract by Perkins, lost his only 11 road games before being fired by Sheahon Zenger with three years remaining on his contract.

The average score: Home Team 41, Kansas 12.

FREE STATE HIGH RUNNING BACK SAM SKWARLO (5) BREAKS THROUGH the Leavenworth defense on his way to a 60-yard first-quarter touchdown. The Firebirds won, 43-7, on Friday night in Leavenworth.

Firebirds claim first win in convincing fashion

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Leavenworth — It wasn’t always pretty, and Free State football coaches weren’t always happy, but, at long last, the Firebirds earned their first win of the season.

The Firebirds had a few big plays on offense in the first half and eventually found their rhythm for a 43-7 rout against Leavenworth on Friday night at Pioneer Stadium.

After opening the game with a punt and a turnover

at midfield, Free State senior running back Sam Skwarlo ripped off a 60-yard touchdown run, running up the middle then cutting to the right sideline.

“Bryce (Torneden) had a good read on it,” said Skwarlo, who finished with 93 yards rushing — all in the first half. “The cutback was there, and it was a wide-open lane. I had one guy I had to beat, and you have to beat that one guy.”

The Firebirds (1-3) didn’t give up a first down in the

opening quarter, which helped set up the offense with strong field position.

Late in the first quarter, Torneden connected with senior receiver Drew Tochtrop on a slant route, and Tochtrop ran untouched for a 56yard touchdown. “(The ball) barely got in there,” Tochtrop said. “When I got it, they tried to grab me and missed me, and I was wide open from there.”

At the end of the first half, the Firebirds drove down the field in a two-minute drill —

highlighted by a 43-yard reception from senior receiver Logan McKinney — and finished with a one-yard touchdown run by Torneden for a 22-0 halftime advantage.

But the Firebirds weren’t thrilled with their performance in the first half, with missed assignments on the offensive line and costly holding penalties.

Ellis, Jayhawks survive another Boot Camp

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

It seems like only yesterday that Perry Ellis was completing his first basketball Boot Camp at Kansas University.

“It went by fast,” Ellis, KU’s 6-foot-8, 225-pound senior forward, said Friday after ace-ing the final conditioning test of his college career.

“I’m excited, man,” Ellis added. “I’m excited for my last year. I’ve been working hard, feeling the best ever.

I’m excited.”

Please see KEEGAN, page 3C He was happy not only

for himself, but all of his teammates.

“We had to run 30 suicides today.

We have to make all the times,” he said of the traditional end of coach Bill Self’s Boot Camp.

A suicide is Ellis a timed run from baseline to free-throw line; baseline to halfcourt; baseline to three-quarter court; baseline to endline and back.

“Usually you’ll miss some,

and it gets tough. We fought through and got through all of them. We made our times, and that’s what counts,” Ellis added.

Of the suicides, Ellis noted: “They are tough. But it definitely makes you a better player. I’m happy to be a part of it. I’m just excited,” he repeated.

Freshman Carlton Bragg, who admitted to fearing his first Boot Camp at KU, wound up enjoying it ... or so he says. The Jayhawks started hour- to 90-minute nonstop conditioning sessions at either 6 or 7 a.m. this past week, depending on the day.

“

Indians’ Carrasco silences Royals Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Carlos Carrasco had his A-plus stuff and overpowered the Kansas City Royals’ B-team.

Carrasco pitched a one-hitter, allowing only a seventh-inning single, and struck out a careerhigh 15 to lead the Cleveland Indians over the Royals, 6-0, on Friday night.

The AL Central Royals didn’t come close to a hit until Alex Rios lined a single to center with one out in the seventh.

Carrasco (14-11) was trying to pitch Cleveland’s first no-hitter since 1981, when Len Barker threw a perfect game. On July 1, Carrasco was within one strike of a no-hitter against Tampa Bay when Joey Butler singled.

“In Tampa I knew I had a no-hitter,” Carrasco said. “This one I feel way different. I really didn’t know I had a no-hitter because I was playing with those guys over there and I was talking (in the dugout). I really didn’t pay attention to that.”

After Rios’ single, he struck out the next six hitters.

“He was unreal today, man,” his catcher, Roberto Perez, said. “He pounded the zone.”

A day after the Royals clinched their first division crown since 1985, manager Ned Yost opted to sit most of his starters. Ben Zobrist and Rios were the only regulars in the lineup.

“Carrasco would have beaten anybody tonight with that stuff,” Yost said.

“He was just simply electric, a 97 mph four-seamer, a 94 mph two-seamer with a lot of action and a tremendous split, hard slider, throwing them all for strikes. That’s as good of stuff as we’ve seen all year long.”

This was the sixth time this season the Indians took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning.

“Carlos, by his own admission, told me in the first inning, ‘I feel lethargic,’” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “I said, ‘Well, go as hard as you can, as long as you can, and we’ll get you out of there.’ I hope he feels lethargic next time.”

Jose Ramirez, Abraham Almonte and Perez homered.

Ramirez homered in the first and connected in the second for a two-run drive. Perez hit a two-run homer in the seventh off Franklin Morales.

Carrasco fanned every Royals batter at least once. He struck out Zobrist, Paulo Orlando and Jonny Gomes three times.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Jayhawks recall close calls

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

During the Kansas University football program’s 33-game losing streak away from Lawrence, which has spanned seven seasons and 12 states since that Sept. 12 victory at UTEP in 2009, there have been a handful of close calls along the way that could have stopped the number of consecutive road losses from climbing out of control.

Although most of the players on this year’s roster had little to do with most of those losses, some of the older Jayhawks remember a couple of the close calls well.

“Texas Tech,” said senior defensive end Ben Goodman of KU’s 41-34 double-overtime loss to Tech in 2012. “Michael Cummings in overtime.

Mike got caught that time,

running to the end zone, and we could’ve won the game. That’s probably one of the closest ones.

That’s the one that sticks out to me.”

“My sophomore year at TCU, when JaCorey (Shepherd) had the pick,” added senior wideout Tre’ Parmalee of KU’s 27-17 loss in Fort Worth, Texas, in 2013.

“We were with them all game and halfway into the fourth quarter, but they broke away with, like, six minutes left.

That’s definitely one I look back on and kind of think, ‘Man, we could’ve had that road win right there.’ I’m sure that there’s more. I just can’t think of ’em right now.

That’s always the one that sticks out to me.”

Eight of those 33 road losses since 2009 were games decided by 10 points or fewer. The

closest call during that time was a 41-39 loss to Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium during the final week of 2009. And the largest blowout came at the hands of West Virginia, 59-10, during the final game of the 2011 season.

Despite those losses, and so many others like them, the Jayhawks spoke little about the streak this week except when asked about it by reporters.

Very few of the coaches were around for any of those losses — offensive coordinator Rob Likens didn’t even know a long losing streak existed — and several of the current players had no part in most, if not all, of those losses.

“Most of these kids, they’re not responsible for that,” defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said.

“They weren’t here when it went down. They’re 0-2

ful PAT kick, freshman kicker Kameron Lake drilled a 29-yard field goal in the second quarter and made the next four PAT kicks.

Free State sophomore Craig Travis also recovered a kickoff on an FSHS pooch kick, stealing a possession away from the Pioneers, and junior lineman Sam Hambleton recovered a muffed punt to keep a drive alive in the second quarter.

Once the final horn sounded, the Firebirds finally had a chance to celebrate their victory.

When Skwarlo was asked how nice it felt, the senior paused for four seconds.

“Amazing,” he said with a laugh. “It’s about time.”

After three losses by a combined 14 points this season, the Firebirds weren’t going to let anything slip away. They scored on their first two drives in the second half, both touchdown runs

by Torneden, and took a commanding 36-7 lead.

Sophomore backup quarterback Gage Foster added the final touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 14-yard run to the end zone.

The streak really has nothing to do with most of the kids on this team.”

East Coast homecoming Junior safety Tevin Shaw is the only New Jersey native on the KU roster, but the return to the area will be special for a handful of Jayhawks who grew up in the northeast.

New York native Chevy Graham, Washington D.C. native Larry Mazyck, and Baltimore natives Fish Smithson and Keyon Haughton will have several family members in the KU section at today’s game.

In the 125-year history of KU football, the Jayhawks have played 159 games against current Big Ten teams, dating to an 1891 match-up with Iowa.

The Jayhawks are 40-1163 in those games.

Rutgers joined the Big Ten in 2014 after 23 years in the Big East for football and 19 years in the Big East in all other sports.

After initially dipping to 12 or 12.5 in a lot of places, the line began to climb back in Rutgers’ favor, and the Scarlet Knights enter today’s game as 14-point favorites at most betting establishments.

a torn labrum in his left (shooting) shoulder. It is likely the 6-foot-4 combo guard will miss his entire junior season.

Mitchell’s mom, LaDonna Ballock, explained the situation.

“His freshman year, he had an injury to his shoulder that we just kind of rode out,” LaDonna Ballock said. “We have to have it fixed. It was not a matter of if, but when.”

Mitch, a standout for KC Run GMC who is ranked No. 37 nationally in the recruiting Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, had played with pain at various junctures the past couple of seasons.

“It was getting to the point it was happening more frequently and hurting longer,” LaDonna said. “If he didn’t do it now, there was no guarantee he’d play the whole season. He’d sit more than be on the floor. That’s why it’s decided now is the time. He’s been playing pick-up games, runs into a screen and it happens and his arm is toast awhile. With arms up, somebody might catch your elbow. The frequency and intensity (of pain) made it necessary to have it done now.”

Ballock has received scholarship offers from Kansas, Iowa State, Indiana, Kansas State, Creighton, Missouri, Northwestern, UNLV and others.

“Oh my goodness, it’s been very touching,” LaDonna Ballock said of coaches calling and texting their best wishes. “(They say) what can I do to lift his spirits, your spirits? Northwestern in Chicago said they have two guys on their team that had the surgery, one two years ago and is doing wonderfully.

“Nick Collison suffered the same thing at KU (had both shoulders repaired and missed the entire 2003-04 NBA season).

The doctor said Wayne Simien had a shoulder problem (at KU).”

After surgery, the shoulder will be immobilized at least a month.

Once Ballock starts rehabbing he could progress quickly.

“There really is no timetable,” his mom said.

“I told Mitch he’s dealt with injuries, don’t get a date in your head. When you are back you’re back.”

He still has one season of AAU and high school ball remaining and then a college career after that.

“Instead of thinking 30, think 100. It’s a little shorter,” Bragg said, smiling.

Self would rate this as one of the best Boot Camps he has held in 13 seasons as Jayhawk coach.

“It was up there,” he said. “It was only one week because of the summer trip (to Korea in which Jayhawks won gold medal at World University Games). All (the players) were good.” l

Jayhawks’ best: Ellis thinks this can be the best team he has been part of at KU. “We have a lot of depth in all positions,” he said. “I think that’s going to be huge going forward.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Rangers Choo up Houston The Associated Press

American League Rangers 6, Astros 2 Houston — Shin-Soo Choo homered and drove in three runs as Texas beat Houston for the eighth straight time, extending the Rangers’ AL West lead over the Astros to 41⁄2 games.

Houston star second baseman Jose Altuve exited early after being hurt in a collision with shortstop Carlos Correa while chasing a popup. There was no immediate word on Altuve’s injury.

The Rangers improved to 16-7 this month while Houston lost its third in a row and fell to 7-15 in September. The Astros’ lead for the second AL wild-card spot was whittled to one game over the Los Angeles Angels, who played later.

Texas starter Yovani Gallardo allowed eight hits and two runs in 42⁄3 innings, and Ross Ohlendorf (3-0) pitched 11⁄3 scoreless innings for the win.

Scott Kazmir (7-11) yielded 10 hits and six runs, lasting just 32⁄3 innings for the second straight game. He hasn’t won since Aug. 22, a span of six straight starts.

Choo, who had three hits, put Texas up 3-0 with an RBI single in a two-run second. He added a tworun homer in the fourth.

Luis Valbuena hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning for the Astros, who have dropped eight of 11. Houston went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position.

Altuve and Correa were tracking a popup by Elvis Andrus with two outs in the seventh. Altuve had the ball in his glove for a moment before Correa crashed into him.

Correa’s glove hit Altuve in the face and knocked him to the ground.

Altuve used his right arm to break his fall. He grimaced as he remained on the field for a couple of minutes while trainers attended to him before eventually walking off the field.

Tigers 6, Twins 4 Detroit — Rajai Davis hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning, and Detroit rallied for a victory over playoff-chasing Minnesota.

It was the type of loss the Twins may look back on if they don’t make the postseason. They entered the day trailing Houston by 11⁄2 games for the second wild card in the American League, and they led 4-1 in the seventh before the bullpen gave away the lead.

Blue Jays 5, Rays 3 Toronto — R.A. Dickey pitched seven innings to earn his 100th career win, Josh Donaldson hit his 40th home run, and Toronto moved closer to clinching its first playoff berth in 22 years.

Toronto leads the AL East and would clinch at least a wild-card spot if both the Twins and Angels lost Friday. Neither team had completed its game when the Blue Jays’ contest ended.

Toronto hasn’t been to the postseason since winning their second straight World Series in 1993.

National League Pirates 3, Cubs 2 Chicago — Gerrit Cole outpitched Jon Lester as Pittsburgh hung on for its seventh straight win, beating Chicago to delay the Cubs’ playoff celebration.

Pittsburgh increased its lead for the NL’s top wild card to 41⁄2 games over the Cubs, who would have secured their first postseason appearance since 2008 with a victory.

Mets 12, Reds 5 Cincinnati — Lucas Duda hit a pair of threerun homers, and Noah Syndergaard dominated with his 99 mph fastball while pitching into the eighth inning, leading New York to a victory over Cincinnati that moved it to the verge of its first playoff spot since 2006.

The Mets’ magic number for clinching the NL East was reduced to one with Washington’s loss to Philadelphia.

The Reds fell to 90 losses for first time since 2007, the year before Dusty Baker took over as manager and led the team to three 90-win seasons.

Marlins 12, Braves 11 Miami — Jose Fernandez became the first pitcher in the modern era to win his first 17 career home decisions, overcoming a rough start Friday.

Fernandez gave up a homer to Nick Markakis to start the game and allowed four runs in a 35-pitch first inning. He tied a career high by allowing six earned runs in five innings.

“It’s a funny way baseball has to wake you up,” Fernandez said.

Stop the run It’s not just preventing yards on the ground that will benefit Kansas University if it is able to stop Rutgers’ rushing attack. A good showing by KU’s players up front also would go a long way toward handcuffing Rutgers’ passing attack. The Scarlet Knights rank just 75th in the country (10th in the Big Ten) with 177.3 rushing yards per game, but so much of what they do in the passing game is set up by the run. Sophomore quarterback Chris Laviano loves the play-action pass, and he leads the Big Ten in completion percentage (72) and is fourth in pass efficiency. In its victory over Norfolk State in the season opener, Rutgers ran for 291 yards on 47 carries. The Knights haven’t combined for that many rushing yards in the two games since and wound up losing both.

Rutgers special teams vs. Kansas special teams

HOLD T.J. Millweard 6-4, 219, Jr. KOR Ryan Schadler 5-11, 185, RS-Fr. Steven Sims Jr. 5-10, 170, Fr.

While these two teams have gotten off to a rough start in 2015, the one area in which they both have been pretty solid is special teams. KU special-teams coordinator Gary Hyman has significantly upgraded all of KU’s special teams, and Rutgers for the third week in a row will throw a dynamic kick returner (Janarion Grant) at the Jayhawks. “He will be a challenge to stop,” Beaty said of Grant. “Every week we’ve played a very explosive returner, and our guys have answered the bell.” In addition to focusing on Grant, Beaty pointed out Rutgers’ strong history of being sound in the return game and in blocking kicks.

“It will be a great, great match-up between our special teams and their special teams,” Beaty said. “We’ll really get to see where we are this week because they do a really good job there.”

Handle life away from home The execution of the little things KU coach David Beaty talked a lot early this must be better at all positions One thing Beaty and his coaching staff week about how his coaches have prepared discovered during the off week was that a this young roster for what to expect from their majority of KU’s mistakes that led to big plays first road game. But there’s only so much a coaching staff can do to get guys truly ready by the opponents — on offense and defense — happened because of poor execution. Because for playing in an unfriendly venue. In terms of of that, KU drilled the fundamentals over and game prep, Beaty said the Jayhawks don’t reover during its bye week and even installed ally do anything different. Most of the focus is some competitions designed to emphasize about limiting distractions and getting familiar with the new surroundings — which Beaty said execution during practices. With an extra week to concentrate on such things and two games would be done on game day, a few hours beworth of film to see both the good and the bad fore kickoff — and continuing to worry about of their own execution, it seems more than fair the things the Jayhawks can control. to expect the Jayhawks to play their sharpest game of the season against Rutgers.

Gary Hyman

FIVE QUESTIONS WITH … DE BEN GOODMAN

1

Have you ever been to the Big Apple, and what comes to mind when you think of New York City?

No, I have not. But I think big buildings, lots of traffic and a lot of taxi cabs. I’m actually looking forward to going to the East Coast. I’ve never been there before. I’m definitely ready to go see what Jersey’s like and what New York’s like.

2

Where is the coolest place you’ve visited?

I’d have to say Las Vegas. I’ve been a couple times, this summer and the previous winter. It’s a pretty fun place. I went with my family members, and I actually saw (KU safety) Fish (Smithson) out there. I was 21 when I was out there, and I did win. Roulette and dice.

3

The Pope will be in New York City this weekend while you guys are playing across the river at Rutgers. You obviously won’t be able to attend any of his events, but if you could pick one historical figure to hear speak, who would it be and why?

Is (the Pope) coming to the game?

I’m just kidding. To answer your question, though, I would love to hear Martin Luther King Jr. speak. He was a powerful speaker. He had a way with words. He spoke with a lot

of passion and emotion. I would love to be sitting there or standing there just to hear how his words affected people.

4

How much do you think the issues Rutgers is dealing with — six players dismissed from the team, head coach Kyle Flood serving a three-game suspension — can help Kansas this week?

We hear about it, but we’re really not that focused on it. That’s not the focus for us. We’re just trying to go be the best players we can be and the best team we can be and execute in the positions the coaches put us in.

5

You’ve been around here for five seasons now and have played in or witnessed 28 of the 33 losses in the current 33-game losing streak. What’s your take on the streak, and how much of a factor has it been in your preparation this week?

We just have to get off to a fast start and finish throughout the game on all three phases — offense, defense and special teams. We just have to continue to trust our training and be as good as we can be, and we’ll have fun on the way back on the plane.

— Matt Tait

Jayhawk pulse The turmoil and chaos surrounding the Rutgers football program — coach suspended, six players, including their top offensive threat, dismissed from the team — have given many KU supporters hope that the Jayhawks have a legit shot this week to both pick up a win for Beaty and snap a 33-game losing streak away from Lawrence.

But until the defense proves it can stop somebody and the offense finds some consistency, it’s hard to imagine things changing that drastically that quickly.

and gratifying, and is a lot like a puzzle. I enjoy putting all the pieces together. I really enjoy meeting and getting to know people and sharing this great community with them.

Randy Russell

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

REALTOR®

785-331-7954 RandyRussell@StephensRE.com Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Topeka with 1 younger brother and 2 younger sisters. We spent all of our summers at Council Grove City lake in a small 1 bedroom cabin that we built ourselves. Later in my life my Parents bought a 100 year old house on 45 acres and we all helped remodeled it.

What area do you live in now? What do you like most about it?

We live in the Deerfield area right now. It is a great neighborhood with its rolling hills and mature trees.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?

I enjoy spending time with my family and friends - mostly with my 5 beautiful granddaughters. When I have time I love to fish or teach others to fish. I have been working with the Crown Kids fishing club for quite a few years now. It’s a free fishing club for kids.

It’s hard to look back over the last 15 years and decide the answer to that question. There have been a lot of unusual things that have happened, but I am mostly amazed at all of the times I have listed a new house and the same day a potential Buyer gives me a request for that same exact home.

What is the most unique property you’ve listed or sold?

process. I feel I work well with other agents because, after all, there is plenty of business out there for everyone who wants to work.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home?

Buyers, take your time and use 80 percent of your brain and 20 percent of your heart to find the right home.

Do not force it. You will know when it’s the right home.

Sellers, remember presentation is the key to a quick sale.

It is like retail and needs to be displayed at its best.

What do you see in the future for real estate sales/ prices?

I feel the market is gaining strength, and I believe it will stay that way for some time to come. I also feel that appreciation is on the rise again after dropping and being flat for so many years.

There have been several that could fill that question.

Most recently I had the opportunity to sell an 1890s Stone barn that had been converted into a 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath, 3600 square foot home on 20 acres with 5 ponds and a 3 car carriage house/garage. That was unique.

Why should someone choose you as their real estate agent?

What are the top 3 things that separate you from your competition?

I like to think I am very easy going and try to make the business of Buying and Selling a home comfortable and somewhat less stressful. I do not try to sell anything. I just try to educate the buyers and sellers on the whole

I have 45 years of customer service and 15 of that in Real Estate. I work hard for my clients and get the job done.

And most of all I love my job and I love people. I am easy to talk to and always have a smile on my face. I don’t put the dollar as my main goal. I would rather have a million friends than a million dollars.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?

I have been selling Real Estate for 15 years now. I received my Brokers license about 5 years ago.

What did you do before that?

I owned and operated Midway Auto supply here in Lawrence opening in February of 1982. We sold out in December of 1995 to Carquest. I worked for them for another 3 years as Manager in a joint venture operation.

I was sent all over the United States and Canada as they purchased new stores. I trained new Joint Venture managers and assisted in the product line changeover and software training or computer setup, whichever was needed.

What is your specialty?

I have a wide range of real estate that I enjoy doing, but I think my favorite is Lake homes and Rural homes and land. I like variety so I am not afraid to tackle anything put in front of me.

What is the most challenging/ gratifying aspect of what you do?

Doing a real estate transaction is both challenging
