A total of 1,031 registered voters had their responses recorded. Margins of error for the individual results range from 1.6 percent to 2.9 percent.

Kansas University’s Monarch Watch effort is getting more than half a million dollars to enable a butterfly version of the old “teach a man to fish” proverb.

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation announced Monday that Monarch Watch would receive $527,154 for its “Building Tribal Capacity for Monarch Habitat Restoration” project. Roughly half the money is coming from the Wildlife Foundation and half from matching funds, including donations from Monsanto.

Bell CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

After a shipwreck, the bell spent three years at the bottom of the ocean before being salvaged and taken back to Boston for repairs.

Mike Norris, assistant principal at Lawrence High School, said the bell was made in Boston in the 1850s and was sent to Lawrence on a route that was supposed to begin by boat over the ocean, then continue on by river. But it did not work out that way.

After a shipwreck, the bell spent three years at the bottom of the ocean before being salvaged and taken back to Boston for repairs. On the second attempt to get the bell to Lawrence, it was sent by train and steamboat, Norris said.

In 1890, the Lawrence

school system purchased the bell from the church, and it served as the school bell at the high school that was located at Ninth and Kentucky streets.

The LHS class of 1961 was responsible for getting the bell to its current location at Lawrence High School, 1901 Louisiana St. But over the summer, after the wall that held its case was torn down as part of construction at the school, the bell was moved again. After a couple months of homelessness, the bell has returned to its original location within the

school, Norris said.

The wooden case, which received new moldings and a glass front in preparation for the bell’s return, is in a wall that divides the auditorium and one of the school’s hallways.

Though the school doesn’t ring the bell, it did get one experimental chime before being sealed behind its new glass case.

And after all these years, it’s still very loud, he said.

Monarch

project description from the Wildlife Foundation.

The project also calls for establishing seed production plots, creating demonstration plots and developing conservation plans, including site selection, preparation and long-term maintenance.

Monarch Watch has interest from even more tribes but more money would be needed to broaden the project beyond the seven signed up so far, Taylor said.

“They’re very interested in maintaining the cultural contact with the landscape, and the landscape as it used to be.”

A majority of the U.S. monarch population migrates up to 3,000 miles to overwinter in Mexico, according to the Wildlife Foundation, which established the monarch fund in 2015. In the past 20 years, the North American monarch population has plunged from 1 billion to fewer than 60 million, due to factors including loss of critical habitat.

“The intensification of agriculture in the upper Midwest, the increase in cropland to meet the demands of the ‘ethanol mandate’ and the use of

land for development projects have resulted in habitat losses exceeding an area the size of Texas,” Taylor said. “It is widely recognized that the monarch migration will decline further unless efforts are made to restore monarch habitats in critical areas such as eastern Oklahoma.”

Brett Begemann, president and chief operating officer of Monsanto, said in a Wildlife Foundation news release that the company is committed to helping monarchs “rebound.”

“We believe that commitment to environmental sustainability and land productivity are compatible objectives,” Begemann said. “To feed a growing population, we need to use all of the management practices available to increase agricultural productivity and make more land available for monarchs, bees, birds and other wildlife.”

The money going to KU is part of $3.3 million in total grants from the Monarch Butterfly Conservation Fund that the Wildlife Foundation announced Monday.

Monarch Watch in recent years has been largely focused on cultivating and distributing milkweed plants to help restore monarch butterfly habitats, said director Chip Taylor, a professor in KU’s Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.

The “Building Tribal Capacity” project will train seven American Indian tribes in eastern Oklahoma — whose lands are beneath the monarchs’ spring migration flight path — in habitat restoration.

“So this involves a lot of training,” Taylor said.

“This is a kind of A to Z in terms of taking new groups of people who are interested in restoring habitat ... through the whole process.”

Trainees will learn to plant donated milkweed plugs as well as collect, process, store and propagate seeds of milkweeds and native forbs, or flowering plants, according to a

BRIEFLY Planned Parenthood supporters to gather Members of MoveOn, a group of advocates for progressive change, will participate in the first National Pink Out Day today, according to a news release.

Donning pink attire, group members will gather from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in South Park to show support for Planned Parenthood.

According to the release, more than 230 events scheduled nationwide today aim to demonstrate “the essential role Planned Parenthood plays in the country.”

Republicans across the U.S. have been calling for eliminating federal funding to Planned Parenthood, and some in Congress have threatened to shut down the government over the issue.

“These continued attacks by extremist politicians on women’s health are part of a dangerous agenda to roll back access to reproductive health care and ban abortion,” Teresa Dixon, MoveOn member, said in the release.

“We’re lifting up our voices and their stories to let Congress know that we stand with Planned Parenthood.”

State short on assignment attorneys

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Anyone who has ever watched a TV crime drama knows the line by heart: People who are charged with a crime have a right to an attorney, and if they can’t afford an attorney, one will be provided to them.

At least that’s the way it’s supposed to work.

But in Kansas, where the state pays only $62

per hour, up to a cap of only a few thousand dollars in most cases, officials say they may have to start looking out of state to find attorneys who will take assigned cases because there just aren’t enough qualified, experienced attorneys in some Kansas counties who are willing to work for that rate.

Patricia Scalia, executive director of the Kansas Board of Indigents’ Defense Services, told a legislative committee

Monday that the problem is especially severe in some of the state’s smaller counties.

“And because of the lack of qualified attorneys willing to accept appointed cases at the hourly rate that the board pays, we’re having to call in attorneys at a distance,” Scalia told reporters after the hearing.

“We have about exhausted the number of attorneys who are licensed in Kansas, and if this continued, it wouldn’t be

Frank fracking report shares earthquake tips Columbus, Ohio (ap) — A group of U.S. drilling states, seismologists, academics and industry experts issued guidance Monday in a frank new report on handling humaninduced earthquakes caused by hydraulic fracturing or the disposal of fracking wastewater.

The 150-page report, produced by the StatesFirst initiative, represents perhaps the most candid discussion on the topic since tremors across the mid-continent — including in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and Ohio —

began being linked to fracking and deep-injection wastewater disposal around 2009.

It includes descriptions of how states handled various seismic incidents around the country, including their public relations strategies, and matter-of-factly references links between fracking or deep-injection wastewater disposal and earthquakes. Previously, public admissions had been fuzzy in some cases.

Schwegler, Sunflower, Broken Arrow and Prairie Park elementaries — will undergo the city permit and inspection process.

Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll brought the motion, and the board passed it unanimously.

“The district administration met with the mayor and city officials last week to come up with a tentative plan to re-engage the city process,” Doll said.

Inspections at the sites of the district’s 21 bond construction projects were done in part by Douglas County and private firms.

An investigation by the Lawrence Journal-World found the Douglas County

inspector charged with overseeing a large portion of the construction was not authorized to enforce building codes for the school projects.

Under the new plan, the school district would pay 50 percent of the usual fee of the traditional city inspection process. Private inspectors will continue for the four ongoing projects at Kennedy, Sunset Hill and Woodlawn elementaries, and Lawrence High School.

Attention was drawn to the inspection process after a child was severely injured last month at the construction site of New York Elementary when an uninstalled, 350-pound safety fence reportedly fell on him.

School district officials announced last week that the district had cut short its contract with Combes

Construction Co., the contractor at New York Elementary, and the board unanimously approved an amendment to the construction plan at its meeting Monday.

Prior to the public meeting, the board met in an executive session to consult with its attorney, and board president Vanessa Sanburn read a prepared statement detailing the dismissal of Combes Construction.

An inspection of New York Elementary is planned for Friday, and a commissioning agent will evaluate several aspects of the project, such as mechanical and electrical work, said Kyle Hayden, assistant superintendent of business and operations for the district.

“New York will be one of those where we look at our services very careful-

BRIEFLY City postpones action on Eldridge

Wozniak adds 2nd lecture to KU visit

Finalizing a tax incentive for the Eldridge Hotel expansion was taken off Tuesday’s City Commission agenda and deferred to Oct. 13.

Commissioners were set to decide whether to finalize a sales tax break for materials used on the Eldridge Hotel expansion — a type of incentive some commissioners campaigned against during elections this spring.

The resolution now up for consideration at the Oct. 13 meeting would complete a transaction started in February, when then-city commissioners approved a measure that signaled their intent to issue $12.5 million in industrial revenue bonds for the project.

To accommodate demand, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak now plans a second lecture during his visit to Kansas University in November.

Wozniak will now deliver the KU School of Business 2015 Anderson Chandler Lecture at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Nov. 20 at the Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Drive.

Tickets will be available beginning at 11 a.m. Oct. 5 through the Lied Center box office: by phone at 864-2787, online at lied. ku.edu or in person from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays.

Parents’ mistrust, earned or not, hard to repair Dear Annie: I am a 20-year-old male who currently lives with my parents. I just started my first year of college.

Both of my parents have prescriptions to Xanax. When I was 15, I took a few from my dad’s bottle. My parents labeled me a thief and an addict. I knew it was wrong and haven’t done it since. I thought we had moved on from that incident, but my mother called me at work and asked whether I had taken 60 of her Xanax. I had no idea what she was talking about and said I hadn’t touched her pills. She insisted that I stole them and sold them, and wouldn’t hear anything other than an admission of guilt.

I honestly have no idea what happened to her pills, but I feel terrible that my mother

Lowe offers goofy logic in ‘Grinder’ Rob Lowe appears to be having a blast in “The Grinder” (7:30 p.m., Fox). And fun can be contagious.

Lowe plays Dean Sanderson Jr., the dense pretty boy star of the hit legal drama, “The Grinder.” He’s a bit lost after his show is canceled after eight seasons, so he returns to his hometown of Boise, Idaho, where his brother, Stewart (Fred Savage), and father (William Devane) operate a rather unglamorous law firm.

Neither Dean nor Lowe can d e p a r t from his “Grinder” character, a fact that delights everybody, except Stewart. In the logic of sitcoms, the siblings bicker and then bond before forming a team where Dean’s audacity blends with Stewart’s plodding diligence.

Along the way, “The Grinder” makes a sly comment on how we’ve allowed entertainment to trump our perception of reality. With a completely straight face, Dean asks Stewart if he were faced with a medical emergency and there were no real doctors present, wouldn’t it be nice to have Noah Wyle (“ER”) around? Who can argue with logic like that?

O If Rob Lowe seems liberated by his strenuously shallow character, John Stamos appears trapped in “Grandfathered” (7 p.m., Fox).

Restaurateur, player and 50-year-old swinger Jimmy Martino (Stamos) is not yet ready to slow down. He says he’d love a family, but he only uses that line to pick up women.

Into his life and his nightlife scene enters Gerald (Josh Peck), the son he never knew he had, the product of a longago dalliance with Sara (Paget Brewster). Along with amnesia, the instant paternity device is surely one of TV’s most tired cliches. “Grandfathered” ups the ante with Gerald’s daughter.

Jimmy goes from cad to granddad in roughly 22 minutes, and it hurts to watch something so predictable.

Enrollment boost Enrollment and freshman academic reports area a good sign for KU.

T

he enrollment report released last week by the Kansas Board of Regents held some positive news for Kansas University.

Official headcounts taken on the 20th day of classes showed enrollment increases at only two state universities: KU and Fort Hays State University.

KU’s increase was small — just 108 students or 0.4 percent — but it was accompanied by some encouraging news about this fall’s freshman class.

The size of KU’s freshman class increased for the fourth year in a row.

In addition to a 2.5 percent increase in size, this year’s freshman class also boasts the highest average high school GPA and second-highest average ACT score in KU history.

Higher academic standards were a factor in a 2.5 percent enrollment decline at Kansas State University, officials there said. “We have successfully weathered the transition from virtually an open admissions school to an institution that intentionally prioritizes student success,” K-State Dean of Students Pat Bosco told Manhattan reporters. The average ACT score for K-State freshmen is 24.9, slightly below the KU freshman class average of 25.2.

The number of foreign students in KU’s freshman class was more than double last year’s, contributing to the second-highest percentage (22.3 percent) of minority students on record. The number of black students in the freshman class declined, but that was offset by increases in Hispanic and Asian students.

For a number of years, Fort Hays State has used a partner university program in China to help boost its enrollment numbers, but this year’s increases came entirely from the school’s virtual college. On-campus enrollment declined by 37 students, and enrollment in China declined by 41 students (although FHSU officials say 112 “partner” enrollments came in after the 20th-day headcount). At the same time, however, the virtual college enrollment rose by 463 — an increase that may suggest a strategy that other state universities could use to boost their enrollments.

Even a small enrollment increase puts KU ahead of most other state universities, and the higher academic record of entering freshmen bodes well for the university’s ability to boost four-year graduation rates.

Challenges remain at KU, but the enrollment and academic reports are positive signs.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Sept. 29, 1915: “A victim of the Quantrill raid, whose body has lain in an unyears known grave ever since that day ago of horror in Lawrence more than IN 1915 fifty years ago, will be honored by the Lawrence congregation of the United Brethren church, which will dedicate their new church building Sunday to his memory.... Rev. Mr. Snyder is said to have been the first man killed after the raiders reached town. His church, which was being built of stone, stood at the corner of Massachusetts and Thirteenth streets. … It is not known now where the Rev. Mr. Snyder was buried. In the confusion which followed the raid there were a few burials in which the victims were not identified.”

Pope, Chinese leader are worlds apart When Chinese President Xi Jinping’s handlers arranged his flight from Seattle to Washington, D.C., on Thursday, they made sure he would land after Pope Francis had left. Xi didn’t want to be overshadowed by the rock-star pope.

As it turned out, the Chinese leader was unable to avoid the pope’s shadow.

The elaborate reception ceremonies for Xi on the White House lawn were eclipsed on TV by the pope’s address to the United Nations.

But, apart from timing, comparisons between the pope and Xi are unavoidable.

The two leaders command the two largest constituencies in the world, 1.2 billion Catholics and 1.2 billion Chinese, respectively. And they hold polar opposite views on how to address the problems of their flocks and the world.

Pope Francis believes that solutions must emerge from the bottom up, while Xi seeks to solve everything from the top down.

During his U.S. trip, Francis stressed repeatedly that individuals have a moral responsibility to work together to preserve the environment, fight corruption, and ameliorate conflicts. His urgings were not just spiritual homilies but calls for grassroots political action to press legislators to act.

Citing four American heroes who turned “dreams into action” — Abraham Lincoln, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Dorothy Day, and Thomas Merton — the pope made clear that individual efforts to effect change are as important as

What’s so fascinating is that Francis and Xi are addressing many similar problems — especially pollution and corruption — but from a totally different perspective.” those of the political elite.

However, the pope was also concerned about the future of Western democratic institutions, many of which have become so sclerotic that they have turned voters into cynics. As he addressed a joint session of Congress, Francis urged legislators to overcome the partisan behavior that has paralyzed our government.

Xi, on the other hand, is an authoritarian, distrustful of grassroots efforts. China experts believe his outlook stems more from personal history than Leninist ideology, which has largely given way in China to a blend of nationalism and Confucianism.

Despite his family’s communist pedigree, Xi was forced to labor in the countryside for years during the chaos of the Cultural Revolution; he appears to have emerged with

the belief that order must be strictly imposed from above.

So Xi has moved to squash China’s expanding civil society and its remaining free media, and shows a Maolike propensity to rule from the very top.

What’s so fascinating is that Francis and Xi are addressing many similar problems — especially pollution and corruption — but from a totally different perspective.

The pope pleaded in Congress and at the United Nations for individual and governmental action to combat manmade climate change.

Meantime, Xi proposed a capand-trade plan that would supposedly limit China’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Chinese action on this front is essential, as Beijing has surpassed the United States as the world’s biggest polluter.

However, it’s hard to have confidence in a Chinese government that blatantly manipulates statistics and markets, and seeks to control (and hack) the Web. When China’s stock market recently tanked, the government’s reaction was to bend the stats back into shape by forbidding press coverage, banning sales of shares, and intervening massively to fix prices.

This hardly inspires confidence in a market for cap and trade.

Similarly, Xi is waging war on Chinese corruption from the top down, by publicly firing and arresting a number of party officials. In a country as huge as China, fighting corruption from such heights is likely to fail.

On my last trip to China, I

heard from senior Chinese officials that they often depend on nongovernmental agencies working on health or environmental issues to alert them to corruption far from Beijing. Ditto for the work of local Chinese media that struggle to expose provincial misbehavior at great risk.

But Xi is shutting down civil society and activist media, isolating himself and his circle. He is failing to take advantage of a growing middle class that could play a critical role in fighting pollution and exposing corruption.

In a sense, Pope Francis is daring us to demonstrate that our model is preferable to China’s. He is trying to mobilize individuals to join together to work for the common good, and legislators to act responsibly as well.

Yet, as he observed in Congress, the discontents and contradictions of U.S. democracy can thwart such efforts.

All the more so if legislators make war on all regulations, including those that curb pollution or combat destructive behavior by banks.

The pontiff has thrown down a challenge for Americans to do better. He urged Congress to “confront every form of polarization,” and individual Americans to pursue “dreams that lead to action.”

The difference between Francis and Xi is basic: The pope believes in democracy’s endless prospects for renewal by committed individuals and legislators. We have the chance to prove him right or wrong.

Boehner’s exit not so surprising

By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

House Speaker John A. Boehner’s sudden decision to resign Friday came as a thunderclap in Washington, but it shouldn’t have surprised anyone who witnessed Boehner’s frustration grow with his fractious Republican caucus.

“Here’s the attitude,” he complained last year after conservatives blocked his fitful attempts to move immigration reform bills forward.

“Ohhhh, don’t make me do this. Ohhhh, this is too hard … We get elected to solve problems, and it’s remarkable to me how many of my colleagues just don’t want to.”

“It does pain me to be described as spineless or a squish,” he said in January, after 25 conservatives voted against him as speaker.

“What pains me the most is when they describe me as the establishment. … I’m the most anti-establishment speaker we’ve ever had.”

When a Politico reporter asked last month how he endured constant sniping from his own party, Boehner said: “Garbage men get used to the smell of bad garbage.

Prisoners learn how to become prisoners.”

This was not a man who was enjoying his job — even though it is, at least in theory, the most powerful position in Congress.

Boehner was always a conservative, not a squish. But he also wanted to get things done, and for his first four years as speaker that meant working with a Democratic Senate leader and a Democratic president. The insurgent conservatives who gave him his majority never accepted that logic — and still don’t.

This year, Boehner hoped that the arrival of a GOP majority in the Senate would inspire pragmatism and cohesion in the House. Instead, it produced what political scientists call the curse of a big majority: With all those votes to spare, GOP hard-liners saw less need to compromise than ever. They demanded an end to federal funding for

“

The new conservatives didn’t want to make compromises, not even compromises that would secure the deep spending cuts they sought.”

Planned Parenthood and said they were willing to risk another government shutdown to do it. When Boehner, a lifelong antiabortion crusader, disagreed with their strategy, they launched an effort to remove him from the speaker’s chair. That was the needless fight Boehner said he was leaving to avoid.

The irony, of course, is that Boehner and his lieutenants — including his most likely successor as speaker, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., — helped many of those hardliners get elected. But they created a monster they could not control, and they never got much loyalty in return.

The new conservatives didn’t want to make compromises, not even compromises that would secure the deep spending cuts they sought. Instead, they wanted to cleanse their party’s leadership of its remaining

pragmatists, a label that, for some, included Boehner.

Their rebellions turned into a recurring melodrama.

In 2011, they blocked the speaker’s attempt to negotiate a “grand bargain” with President Obama that would have combined spending cuts with tax increases.

In 2012, they rejected a Boehner proposal to raise taxes on incomes over $1 million; when a bipartisan coalition then passed a tax increase on incomes over $250,000 to avoid the fiscal cliff, the hard-liners blamed Boehner for backing down.

In 2013, they demanded a government shutdown in a kamikaze attempt to repeal Obama’s healthcare law. This time, Boehner let them have their way, in the hope that they might learn a lesson. The 13-day shutdown was a disaster, driving the GOP’s stature to record lows. But among the hard-liners, few lessons were learned — hence this year’s fight over Planned Parenthood.

Boehner said he hoped his resignation could serve as “a unifying moment” for the GOP and help avert more needless collisions. There’s not much chance of that; the House hard-liners’ crusade is far from complete. “Our

constituents sent us here to fight,” said Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., one of the leaders of the Freedom Caucus that harried Boehner.

So it’s no wonder that when Boehner announced his decision to leave Congress, he sounded like a man freed from a painful burden.

“Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zipa-dee-ay,” he told a news conference. “My oh my, what a wonderful day.”

He said his move wasn’t influenced by Pope Francis’ speech to Congress on Thursday. But it did seem as if the pontiff influenced his timing. Boehner’s announcement came only hours after he heard the pope deliver a pastoral challenge to the politicians in the House chamber.

“Your own responsibility as members of Congress is to enable this country, by your legislative activity, to grow as a nation,” Francis said. “A good political leader is one who, with the interest of all in mind, seizes the moment in a spirit of openness and pragmatism.”

John Boehner was clearly listening. Were any of his colleagues?

Lawrence police are investigating after at least two south Lawrence businesses were broken into early Monday.

A burglary alarm alerted officers to a possible break-in at the Sport Clips, 3140 Iowa St., just after 12:40 a.m.

Radio traffic from arriving

officers indicated that a door was found open.

While clearing the inside of Sport Clips, officers reported a hole in the wall leading into GameStop next door.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, spokesman for the Lawrence Police Department,

said Monday afternoon that no arrests had been made yet.

Police on Monday were trying to contact representatives of the businesses and determine what, if anything, was taken.

Officers do not have a suspect description.

Lager

Bradt says. Named for hop hotspot Yakima, Wash., the unfiltered IPA boasts some “hoppy” and “fresh, citrus-y flavors,” he says.

Locally, Kansas City’s McCoy’s Public House and KC Bier Co. also performed well at the festival, earning a gold and silver medal, respectively, for Ursa Minor (an imperial brown ale) and Weizenbock in the Other Strong Beer and German-Style Wheat Ale categories.

Held every year in Denver, the Great American Beer Festival is the largest of its kind in the U.S., and

this year awarded 275 gold, silver and bronze medals in 92 categories.

to $65 per hour.

By comparison, Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild, the administrative judge for the Seventh Judicial District, said a typical attorney in private practice in Lawrence would charge a paying client $200 to $250 an hour for criminal cases that go to trial.

Fairchild said the situation in Douglas County hasn’t gotten as serious as some other counties, but he said there is a shortage of qualified local attorneys willing to work for the state’s rate.

“We have 23 people on our felony panel, but we only have six who can take the highest-level felonies,” Fairchild said. “... We also have trouble finding people who can do appeals. We’ve had to call for lawyers in adjoining counties to do appeals. It could come to a crisis at some point.”

Fairchild said the Douglas County court has allowed some of the felony panel attorneys to take a hiatus from accepting court appointments so they can focus on their paying clients.

He said the $62 per hour the state currently pays is probably not enough for most lawyers to cover their office and overhead expenses.

In addition, he said, attorneys willing to serve as court-appointed counsel can make more money handling federal cases because the federal government pays significantly more than the state. In fact, he said, they can actually make more money handling misdemeanor cases because those are paid for by the county, which still pays the full $80 per hour to appointed attorneys.

The Board of Indigents’ Defense Services is proposing to raise the payment rate through a regulatory change. Lawmakers raised no objections Monday to the proposed change. The board estimates the increased rates would cost about $200,000, which Scalia said could be funded through savings the agency realized in a set of resentencing cases earlier this year.

A public hearing on that change is scheduled for 9 a.m. Nov. 10 in Topeka.

providing states with upto-date scientific and technical data, case studies and several suggested approaches for detecting and managing the quakes.

Fracking involves blasting water and chemicals into shale formations to fracture the rock and release oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids trapped inside. The process involves thousands of gallons of water that becomes contaminated and must be trucked offsite and deposited at special facilities.

Both processes have

been associated with human-induced tremors, including some easily felt by people.

The StatesFirst coalition partnered with the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission and the Ground Water Protection Council in the effort, which began last year.

to find qualified, experienced lawyers who will take assigned cases.

Scalia said there are two types of attorneys for indigent defendants: “public defenders” who work for an agency, typically on salary, who do nothing but indigent defense work; and “assigned counsel,” or private attorneys who have agreed to take cases on assignment.

Kansas statutes authorize the board to pay up to $80 an hour for those private attorneys who agree to take appointed cases.

But in 2010, amid the budget cuts that came during the Great Recession, Scalia said the board was forced to cut the actual rate it pays to $62 per hour, a 22.5 percent cut in reimbursement rates.

Now, five years later, the board is asking to make a small step toward restoring a small portion of that cut, raising the rate by $3,

short of suggesting model regulations, however.

That’s because each state’s laws and geography are unique, Ohio Oil & Gas Chief Rick Simmers, who co-chaired the effort, told The Associated Press. The report says “a one-sizefits-all approach would not be an effective tool for state regulators.”

Simmers said the report is in the form of a primer,

Evidence of flowing water on Mars

Streaks that appear in craters and canyons confirm there is liquid water flowing on Mars, NASA says. The streaks of highly salted water lengthen in warm months and fade in cooler periods.

Want not = waste

Millennials are

twice

as likely as Baby Boomers to throw away food slightly past its “best by” date.

Source Barilla’s “Food Waste & Sustainability” online survey Aug. 7-10 of 1,000 U.S. adults

A NASA spacecraft circling Mars found evidence of flowing water on the Red Planet’s surface — and in our time, not in some dim, more verdant past.

New data reveal Earth’s neighbor boasts multiple seeps of salt-laden water that were wet, or at least damp, as recently as last year. The water may be much saltier than Earth’s oceans, but there could be enough to provide a bonanza for humans exploring the surface.

“Mars is not the dry, arid planet we thought of in the past,” NASA planetary science chief Jim Green said Monday.

Until now, “we thought of the current Mars as a barren, extremely dry and cold desert,” SETI Institute planetary scientist Janice Bishop, who did not take part in the research, said via email. “What is new and exciting here is that this provides evidence for liquid water on Mars in the current environment.”

Eons ago, Mars had enough water to fill enormous lakes and rivers. Scientists prospecting for the wet stuff in recent decades had to content themselves with ice at the planet’s poles, small amounts of water vapor in the atmosphere and water locked up in minerals in the Martian soil. The wet Mars of billions of years ago seemed to have become a desiccated world.

Five years ago, researchers spotted mysterious dark streaks running down the warm slopes of Martian craters and mountains. The lines disappeared in the cold season and reappeared

But president says U.S. is willing to work with Russia Oren Dorell USA TODAY

President Obama said for the first time that he would work with Russia and Iran to find a solution to Syria’s long civil war, but leaders of those two countries followed with peace prescriptions that run counter to the U.S. approach.

Obama said Monday that any solution must not include support for the “tyrant” Bashar Assad. Obama said the Syrian president has killed tens of thousands of his own people in a war that began with a crackdown on peaceful protests.

In sharp contrast, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, in separate speeches before the U.N. General Assembly, blamed the United States for the war in Syria and said any solution must include Assad and his regime.

“We think it is an enormous mistake to refuse to work with the Syrian government and its armed forces,” Putin said. “No one but the Syrian forces and Kurdish militia are seriously fighting against the Islamic State.”

Putin said much of the terrorist threat in Syria is the result of UNITED NATIONS

NASA

These images, from spring of one Mars year to midsummer of the following year, come from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The streaks in the photo at the bottom show evidence of flowing water that was not there previously. in the warm season, like spring freshets on Earth. They looked tantalizingly like a sign of liquid water, but landslides or dust couldn’t be ruled out, said study co-author Scott Murchie of the Applied Physics Laboratory.

Murchie and his colleagues had NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter take a closer look.

Along the mysterious lines, the spacecraft detected the signature of waterlogged molecules of perchlorate, chemicals made up of chlorine and oxygen, the scientists reported in this week’s Nature Geoscience. Something is moistening Mar’s ample depos-

its of perchlorate, said study leader Lujendra Ojha, a graduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. That something must be liquid water.

“Water is the elixir of life,” said Mars expert Ray Arvidson of Washington University in St. Louis, who wasn’t part of the study. Still, “I wouldn’t particularly want to live in a perchlorate fluid.”

Ojha concedes the briny water would not be hospitable to living creatures. But the seeps could be “an important source of water for a future human mission to Mars,” Bishop said.

Aviation industry mulls delay in better flight tracking Outcry for change rose in wake of vanished jet Bart Jansen USA TODAY

Airlines worldwide could get a two-year delay to start tracking flights better across oceans despite outcries for a change in policy after the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

The time frame for better flight tracking is being debated by a branch of the United Nations that sets aviation policy while the search continues for the Malaysia

flight, which disappeared March 8, 2014, with 239 people aboard.

The international fury and disbelief over losing a Boeing 777200ER prompted an industry agreement in February to require tracking the location of all flights over oceans every 15 minutes.

Airlines were left to decide individually how to meet the task.

A committee of the International Civil Aviation Organization, a U.N. branch that sets standards that government regulators and airlines typically adopt, recommended this month postponing 15-minute tracking from November 2016 to 2018. The requirement to report a plane’s po-

sition by latitude, longitude, altitude and time poses an “unrealistic operational burden,” according to the committee recommendation.

Though U.S. airlines have the

technology to send automated satellite messages, the committee warned that some airlines will have trouble installing the equipment.

If airlines opt to have pilots

manually report their location by radio or satellite, the task could distract the crew from safely flying the plane, and they could relay inaccurate information, according to the committee of government representatives from the United States, Australia, Japan, Malaysia and Singapore.

Another concern was that airtraffic controllers would get swamped with calls about missing planes just because location information hadn’t arrived as expected.

The ICAO Council will discuss 15-minute tracking in November, according to spokesman Anthony Philbin.

For all the stories, images, soundbites, arguments and opinions about this crisis that I have read, heard, watched, absorbed and even contributed to as a USA TODAY journalist, there’s no substitute for spending time — serious, unfiltered, mind-open time — with those directly affected.

Not everyone can or wants to do that. I understand this. I am not even advocating it. I do not necessarily believe that doing so leads to a greater understanding of the whole, just a firmer feeling for a constituent part at a certain time, in a particular place, in highly variable conditions.

A snapshot. Not very scientific.

Still, the specific part that I spent time with on this journey seems to me to be most important one: the people. The families and children especially, but also the young men.

In most crises of this kind, it BERLIN

Migrants sleep on a dock on the island of Lesbos in Greece on Sept. 19. is the young men — stronger, faster, more likely to be able to establish a foothold and send money home — who set out first for new territory. By the time women and children come along, the route is established, and the desperation dial is elevated. I saw a lot of women and children.

Before I left Berlin for the island of Lesbos, Greece, where migrants pour in daily from Turkey, I knew that the thousands of Syrians, Afghans, Iraqis, Eritreans and others undertaking this route were fleeing various forms of wretchedness, whether political or economic. I knew

they were dying in huge numbers. I knew the European Union was tearing itself apart trying to find a solution. I knew, or thought I knew, that the stories of the people involved were invariably sad ones.

But I had little sense of what these people actually endured.

Each day, they fight a new battle in a long war that has, for sure, many dramatic reversals of fortune involving close escapes and wanton mistreatment. Their lives are full of spirit-crushing logistics: a phone’s battery that is always nearly dead, where to find the next (cold) meal, how to entice an exhausted 5-year-old

to walk 30 miles under a hot sun, then, 10 hours later, to repeat the process in the dead of night.

Traversing borders, languages, cultures, currencies and infrastructure can be full of menacing and illogical complexity at the best of times. It is a disorienting and menacing quality — Kafkaesque, after the Czechborn writer.

Twice during this trip, I saw, from a distance, migrants making this journey in wheelchairs.

How did they get in and out of the dinghy on the sea crossing from Turkey to Greece? I don’t know. Kafkaesque.

U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki Moon He called for a political solution to the war in Syria that has left more than 200,000 dead and unleashed a torrent of refugees straining resources in Europe and elsewhere. “The global humanitarian system is ... broke,” he said. He urged the world to unite against the “blatant brutality” of extremist groups, such as the Islamic State, and urged the international community to pressure Israel and Palestinians to end their long conflict.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff She said her country’s deeply troubled economy is in a “moment of transition to another cycle of economic expansion” that is “stronger, more solid and resilient than some years ago.” Brazil’s inflation rate is around 10%, unemployment is the highest in decades and this month, the Standard & Poor’s credit agency downgraded the country’s sovereign debt to “junk” status.

President Obama He said the United States would work with any nation, including Russia and Iran, to solve the 4-year-old Syrian civil war, but Syrian President Bashar Assad cannot stay in office.

On Ukraine, he said the world cannot stand by while Russia violates Ukraine’s integrity and sovereignty. If there are no consequences for Russia’s annexation of Crimea, it could happen to any other country in the United Nations, he said.

Chinese President Xi Jinping He spoke of the need to protect the environment, saying, “We should care for nature and not place ourselves above it. We should reconcile industrial development with nature.” He said China would never pursue “hegemony, expansion or sphere of influence” in the world. He said China will always stand with developing nations, especially those in Africa. He pledged $1 billion over the next decade to support U.N. efforts to further peace and development.

Russian President Vladimir Putin He called for a global fight against Islamic extremism akin to a third World War. Putin said such an effort in Syria should be fought alongside Assad’s forces. “We think it is an enormous mistake to refuse to work with the Syrian government and its armed forces,” he said. “No one but the Syrian forces and Kurdish militia are seriously fighting against the Islamic state.” The alternative is to arm terrorists who threaten Europe, Russia and other countries, he said.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani He said global action to combat extremism in the Middle East should be modeled on the nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers. Such an effort would tackle tackle regional conflict through dialogue, he said. The terrorist “wave of destruction has gone beyond the Middle East and the Arab world and reached the shores of the United States and Europe,” he said.

French President François Hollande He said Syrian refugees are fleeing Assad, whose forces have been bombing civilian targets.

Hollande said the Syrian president “is part of the problem; he cannot be part of the solution.” He pledged to increase France’s support for curbing climate change to $5.6 billion a year by 2020, up from $3.4 billion. Paris will host a global climate change conference this fall.

Cuban President Raúl Castro In his first U.N. speech since reestablishing diplomatic relations with the United States, he said the “long and complicated” process won’t be complete until the United States ends its economic embargo and relinquishes its base in Guantanamo Bay. He expressed “eternal gratitude” to the 188 nations who voted last year to condemn the American “blockade” against his nation. The U.S. Congress is unwilling to end the embargo until Cuba ends repression.

Putin blames terrorism on Iraq War Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Obama before the start of a meeting at the United Nations headquarters in New York City on Monday.

the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.

The alternative to aiding Assad is to arm the terrorists, he said.

“Instead of the triumph of democracy, we get violence and social disorder,” Putin said. “Tens of thousands of militants are fighting under the banner of the socalled Islamic State. Their ranks include former Iraqi servicemen thrown out after the invasion of their country in 2003.”

The clash of words came before Obama and Putin met faceto-face Monday, their first formal meeting in more than two years.

Putin said after the meeting that Russia has not ruled out joining U.S.-led coalition airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria but would not send ground troops into combat, the Associated Press reported. He said any Russian action would be in accordance with international law. Putin did not rule out the use of Russian aircraft.

“We are thinking about it, and we don’t exclude anything,” he said.

The Russian leader said he and Obama discussed the U.S.-led co-

alition’s action against the Islamic State and called the talks “very constructive, business-like and frank.”

At a luncheon, Obama and Putin joined a toast with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon. Putin smiled slightly as he and Obama clinked glasses. Obama, who did not smile, ended his toast by saying, “May we never abandon the pursuit of peace.”

Also speaking Monday was French President François Hollande, who said Assad “is part of the problem. He cannot be part of

the solution” to the Syrian conflict.

Iran’s Rouhani said in his speech that action to combat extremism in the Middle East should be modeled on the recent Iran nuclear agreement. He said democratic governance should wait until stability is reached in the region through dialogue and cooperation with established central governments.

“And once that’s established, build democratic governance in the Middle East region,” Rouhani said.

As for the nothing, I don’t want to spend too much time on that here, but I want to say this.

Many of the readers, listeners and watchers of this series appeared to view my journey genuinely as an opportunity to get a glimpse into a world and set of circumstances that can be hard to fully appreciate from the distance, comfort and unbridled politicization of our great talking shops from Minneapolis to Mumbai.

They didn’t always like or approve of what they were seeing but were prepared to put the preconceptions to one side at least temporarily.

Others found in my reports, podcasts, videos, photos and social media posts an outright apologist or fabricator for something they abhor. Each morning over the course of my trip, variations on the word “fool” would show up in my digital inbox somewhere.

I’m not trying to pick a fight here and make no claims to be deficient in the blockhead department, but to the latter, I’d also say hang on a second while I cite some Star Wars chapterand-verse for you: “Who’s the more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?” (Obi-Wan Kenobi) Also, remember the people, people.

He blamed “naïve trans-regional actors” in part for the terrorist “wave of destruction” that has gone beyond the Middle East and the Arab world. “Without the U.S. invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and U.S. support for the Zionist (Israeli) regime, the terrorists would not have justification for their actions,” Rouhani said.

Obama spoke of lessons learned from U.S. experiences in Iraq and Libya. Both exposed the risk of military intervention without sufficient planning and commitment to find a comprehensive political solution, Obama said.

“Military power is necessary, but it is not sufficient to a lasting solution in Syria,” he said. “Diplomacy is needed.”

“Compromise will be required to end the conflict and defeat (the Islamic State) and al-Qaeda,” but there must be a process to find a new leader who represents all of the Syrian people, Obama said.

Putin has recently poured weapons into Syria to support Assad. Obama wants Assad out and has attempted to support other rebels aligned against the Islamic State.

NATION/WORLD

FBI REPORT: VIOLENT AND PROPERTY CRIME DOWN Some community flare-ups defy statistics Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

Overall violent crime and property offenses declined slightly last year across much of the country, continuing a downward trajectory even as some communities battled disparate surges in violence, according to a new FBI report.

Robbery recorded the largest decline at 5.6%, and murder was down 0.5% in 2014, but rape and aggravated assault ticked up 2.4% and 2%, respectively, the report found. Property offenses dropped in each category: Burglary was down 10.5%, larceny-theft declined by nearly 3% and vehicle thefts declined by 1.5%.

The FBI report comes as some cities confront troubling increases in violence, prompting WASHINGTON

the Justice Department to call a meeting next month of law enforcement authorities “to explore what measures are working,” Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates said Monday.

“We have witnessed a remarkable drop in crime since the 1980s, both violent crime and crime overall,” Yates said. “Entire cities have been transformed, unlocking tremendous potential and releasing a wave of prosperity. But despite these successes, we know it’s not true everywhere. There are still neighborhoods — far too many neighborhoods — where bloodshed has become a fact of life.”

Yates’ remarks in Detroit came while announcing an expansion of the federal Violence Reduction Network to include five more cities where violent crime has increased at a rate above the national average: Compton, Calif.;

“As this committee continues to investigate Planned Parenthood and its affiliates, the flow of taxpayer dollars should end.”

Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich

The two panels, along with the Education and Workforce Committee, must each pass a portion of reconciliation and send it to the House Budget Committee, which will combine them and send a bill to the House floor for a vote. The education committee will vote Wednesday.

The portion to be voted on by the energy committee on Tuesday includes a measure to defund Planned Parenthood and invest in women’s health care centers that do not perform abortions.

The Planned Parenthood provision is part of a bigger effort by the three committees to defund the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare.

Planned Parenthood receives about $500 million a year from the federal government to provide cancer screenings, medical checkups and birth control services. It is barred by federal law

from using taxpayer money to pay for abortions.

Ways and Means Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and energy committee Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., have said the group should not receive public funds.

Planned Parenthood already is under investigation by several existing congressional committees, but House Speaker John Boehner said Sunday that the House will vote to create a new select committee to investigate the group.

That vote could come this week.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., denounced the proposed select committee as another step in Republicans’ “war on women’s health.”

“House Republicans are planning yet another taxpayer-funded Select Committee to burn more of the millions of taxpayer dollars they’ve already spent playing politics,” Pelosi said in a statement.

IN BRIEF The Taliban captured most of the city of Kunduz in northern Afghanistan on Monday, raising fresh concerns about the country’s ability to provide its own security.

Since the U.S. combat mission officially ended last year, the Taliban has attacked Afghanistan’s military and police, particularly in remote areas. The Taliban’s seizing a major city is a significant blow to the government, which has full responsibility for protecting the country.

Fewer than 10,000 U.S. troops are in Afghanistan to provide training and other support.

Republicans try to defund Planned Parenthood without shutdown WASHINGTON Republicans this week will launch a new strategy to try to defund Planned Parenthood now that it’s clear that Congress will vote this week to keep the government open without addressing the issue.

The House also is expected to consider this week the creation of a select committee to investigate allegations that the nation’s largest abortion provider discussed selling tissue and organs from aborted fetuses for profit.

Planned Parenthood vehemently denies the allegation, saying that undercover videos taken by antiabortion activists were heavily edited and misleading.

On Tuesday, the House Ways and Means Committee and the Energy and Commerce Committee will take up bills that would pave the way for Congress to pass legislation to strip federal funds from Planned Parenthood without having to worry about another successful filibuster by Senate Democrats to block the measure.

The committees will vote to advance a procedural tool called budget reconciliation that allows certain tax and spending bills to be passed with a simple majority vote. Under normal Senate rules, it takes a supermajority of 60 senators to overcome a filibuster.

Reconciliation eliminates the possibility of a filibuster by the Senate’s Democratic minority.

However, President Obama has vowed to veto any legislation to defund Planned Parenthood, and congressional leaders do not have enough votes to override a veto. It takes two-thirds of the members of the House and Senate to override a veto.

RECALLING LAST YEAR’S ‘REVOLUTION’

PHILIPPE LOPEZ, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

JUDGE WON’T STAY GEORGIA WOMAN’S EXECUTION

Pro-democracy activists rally Monday outside Hong Kong government buildings to mark the first anniversary of protests calling for free elections. Last year, the “Umbrella Revolution” paralyzed parts of the Chinese-controlled city for 79 days.

A federal judge denied a request to stay the execution of Kelly Gissendaner, Georgia’s only woman on death row. She is set to die Tuesday for her part in the murder of her husband.

Gissendaner’s attorneys moved to appeal U.S. District Judge Thomas Thrash’s ruling, in which

he refused to reconsider a lawsuit declaring lethal injection cruel and unusual punishment.

Gissendaner was sentenced to death in 1998 for recruiting her boyfriend, Gregory Bruce Owen, to kill her husband. Owen, who killed Douglas Gissendaner in 1997, is serving a life sentence. He

testified against Gissendaner, telling a jury how the mother of three planned her husband’s death.

— WXIA-TV NEW YORK PRISON WORKER COULD SERVE 7 YEARS

A former prison worker who

Joyce Mitchell begged Judge Kevin Ryan of Clinton County Supreme Court in Plattsburgh, N.Y., for forgiveness, saying she never intended to cause anyone harm in the escape June 6. She pleaded guilty July 28 to two charges in connection with her efforts to help Richard Matt and David Sweat escape from the state prison in Dannemora, N.Y. The escape led to a three-week manhunt through the Adirondacks that ended with Matt being shot and killed and Sweat being captured.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani blamed Saudi Arabia for last week’s hajj stampede that killed more than 700 Muslim pilgrims.

He called on Saudi officials to “grant immediate consular access for the identification and return of the cherished bodies and remains.” The latest figures put the death toll from Thursday’s stampede at 769.

Donald Trump unveiled a plan Monday to reduce income-tax rates for lower and middle-income families and corporations that also ends the ability of some investment managers to pay a lower rate than most Americans.

Trump, the billionaire real estate businessman, is offering a plan similar to what other Republican presidential candidates, including Jeb Bush, are proposing that aims to simplify the tax code.

amid criticism that he’s risen to the top of Republican primary polls based on tough-on-immigration rhetoric instead of specific policy proposals. Trump’s plan would lower the tax rate on all businesses from 35% to 15%. It also would impose an immediate tax on overseas earnings of American corporations, which he said would encourage companies to create more jobs in the USA. For individuals, the highest tax rate would be 25%, compared with the current 39.6% rate.

Trump said he could enact his plan without adding to the deficit.

He said his plan reduces or eliminates most of the loopholes for special interests and the very rich. “In other words, it’s going to cost me a fortune, which is actually true,” Trump said.

The plan drew criticism from both sides of the political aisle.

“It is in fact Trump’s family that may stand to gain the most, with the elimination of the estate tax being an up to $3.48 billion cut for the Trumps,” the Democrat-aligned Center for American Progress Action Fund said.

The Club for Growth, which advocates for lower taxes, also was critical. “Records matter, and Donald Trump has a long history of calling for the largest tax increase in U.S. history,” said Club for Growth President David McIntosh.

S&P 500 index on track for its worst quarter since 2011 Adam Shell USA TODAY

The U.S. stock market is down more than 10% since the May peak, which in Wall Street-speak is just a “correction.” But a growing number of investment gurus are saying a bear market has already arrived.

After a 2.6% drop Monday, the broad Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index was down 11.7% from its May 21 record close and on

track for its worst quarter since the third quarter of 2011. While that equates to an official correction, the current downdraft is still a far cry from a full-fledged bear market, or a drop of 20% or more.

There’s still a vocal, sizable camp on Wall Street that says the recent market turbulence — which has been sparked by a slowdown in China, uncertainty over when the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates and slowing earnings growth in the U.S. — is just a correction.

But the drumbeat of pros saying the market is in the clutches of the bear is getting louder.

Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s Mad Money, has said repeatedly

IN BEAR TERRITORY

More than half of the stocks in the S&P 500 are in bear-market territory: 430 STOCKS ARE DOWN

10% OR MORE 253 STOCKS ARE DOWN

20% OR MORE 121 STOCKS ARE DOWN

30% OR MORE

that he doesn’t like the market, and last week said, “We have a first-class bear market going.”

And Gary Kaltbaum, president of Kaltbaum Capital Management, has been sending out notes saying the poor price action of the stock market and many hard-hit sectors has all the earmarks of a bear market. Over the weekend, he said: “We remain in a worldwide bear market for stocks.”

Adding to the angst was word Monday about hedge fund titan Carl Icahn releasing a video warning investors of danger, in large part because of the coming fallout after years of cheap-money Fed policies.

While the S&P 500’s drop from its May peak still is far from 20%, many of the index’s 500 stocks are suffering. At Monday’s close,

253 stocks were down more than 20% from recent highs, putting them in bear-market territory, according to S&P Capital IQ. But a bear market is not the base case for most of Wall Street.

Strategas Research Partners said that after a meeting with clients, “few seemed worried that the recent volatility in the market would turn into something more sinister.”

Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets, thinks the pullback is normal and the bull market will reignite once the dark clouds clear.

MONEYLINE APPLE SELLS 13 MILLION IPHONES OVER WEEKEND Apple says it sold more than 13 million iPhone 6S and 6S Plus smartphones during their first weekend of availability, setting a company record. The sales top last year’s record weekend, during which Apple sold more than 10 million iPhone 6 and 6 Plus smartphones. “Sales ... have been phenomenal,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement.

ALCOA TO SPLIT INTO TWO SEPARATE PUBLIC COMPANIES Alcoa will split into two independent, publicly traded businesses, saying that each portfolio is strong and distinct enough to go down its own strategic path. One company, which will take the Alcoa name, will have five business units including bauxite and aluminum, while the second, as-yet-unnamed company’s portfolio will be made up of engineered products, global rolled products and transportation and construction solutions.

The split is expected to be finalized during the second half of next year.

‘DANGER AHEAD,’ ICAHN WARNS Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

NEW YORK Billionaire investor Carl Icahn may have said no to being Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary, but he’s not ready to give up the national stage.

In a rare move — even for an investor accustomed to the spotlight — the founder and chairman of $8.5 billion Icahn Enterprises has produced a video warning of “danger ahead” for the U.S. economy that also advocates Trump as the best candidate to fix the nation’s problems.

In the 15-minute video, Icahn calls for taxes to be lowered for corporations and raised for hedge fund managers. He also reiterates his previous warning that interest rates hovering close to zero are creating investment bubbles in real estate, art, corporate earnings and highyield bonds.

“The middle-class investor has nowhere to go with their money but into the (stock) market, or even more concerning, high-yield bonds, which are very risky,” Icahn said in the video, which is posted on his website CarlIcahn.com.

The 15-minute video also advocates Donald Trump as the best candidate to fix the nation’s problems.

“I don’t think the other guys understand the major problems we face,” Icahn said of the presidential contenders. “I grew up on the streets in Queens (N.Y.). I never could have been this successful in any other country in the world. I hate to see it go down the tubes, and that’s what’s sort of happening. We’re losing our hegemony. I really believe it.”

In July, Trump told MSNBC’s Morning Joe television show

that he would “love to bring my friend Carl Icahn” on as head of the U.S. Treasury. Trump has also said he would recruit Icahn to negotiate with China.

Icahn told USA TODAY he would not be Trump’s Treasury secretary because he has “a day job.” But he said he is open to helping Trump in other ways if he wins. “I’d be happy to help him in any way I could,” Icahn said. “I’m thought of as a good negotiator.”

Here’s a list of some of Icahn’s top economic concerns: uHedge fund managers don’t pay enough in taxes.

Under the current system, hedge fund managers get paid a portion of profits they earn for clients, which are taxed as capital gains, or around 23.8%. If they were taxed at ordinary income, they would have to pay up to 39.6%. uInterest rates are too low. Icahn agrees with critics who have tied the mortgage meltdown of 2008 to the low interest rates that proceeded it. uCorporate taxes are too high. Icahn wants Congress to lure companies to bring back the $2.2 trillion in cash they have overseas. Some policymakers have argued it could be dealt with through a tax holiday.

“I hate to see (the country) go down the tubes, and that’s what’s sort of happening,” Carl Icahn says. “We’re losing our hegemony. I really believe it.”

TODAY, Icahn said he made the video to highlight the “dysfunction” in corporate America and on Capitol Hill. “I want to see this dysfunction obliterated and we get stuff done in Congress,” said the billionaire, known for pushing his agenda at large publicly traded companies, including Apple, Yahoo and Motorola.

Icahn said he thinks Trump — who he sparred with in 2010 over a casino — is the best candidate to fix the dysfunction.

VICTOR J. BLUE, BLOOMBERG

Nexstar Broadcasting Group (NXST) said Monday that it has offered about $1.9 billion to buy Media General (MEG), seeking to enlarge its local-TV business and thwart Media General’s attempt to merge with competitor Meredith Corp. (MDP).

Nexstar, based in Irving, Texas, is proposing to pay $10.50 per share in cash and 0.0898 Nexstar shares per Media General share.

That would value Media General

at $14.50 per share, or about 30% higher than the closing stock price Friday. The total transaction value is $4.1 billion, including Media GenerPerry Sook al’s debt. is CEO of Shares of Nexstar.

Media General rose 22% Monday to close at $13.64.

Underscoring the quickening pace of TV-industry consolidation, Media General, based in Richmond, Va., agreed earlier this month to pay $2.4 billion in cash and stock for Meredith, based in Des Moines. In their agreement,

NEXSTAR BROADCASTING GROUP

Nexstar’s offer for Media General is valued at $4.1 billion.

Meredith shareholders would receive $51.53 per share — $34.57 in cash and 1.5214 shares of the new company they will operate after the acquisition. The total transaction value of the deal, including Meredith’s debt, is $3.1 billion.

While Meredith and Media General have an agreement, Media General shareholders can review

and opt for a better deal.

Shares of Meredith fell 5.6% to close at $43.43.

In a letter addressed to Media General’s board chairman, J. Stewart Bryan, and CEO Vincent Sadusky, Nexstar CEO Perry Sook said he privately offered to buy Media General in August for “a substantial premium” only to be rejected two weeks later without any discussion.

“We strongly believe a combination of Media General and Nexstar is far more compelling strategically and financially than your planned acquisition of Meredith,” Sook wrote.

In a statement, Media General said Monday that its board of directors “will carefully review and consider the proposal.”

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

Remember the panic lows back in late August in the wake of the Dow’s eye-popping 1,000-point drop on Aug. 24 and the closing bottom the next day? Well, as Wall Street pros suspected, all the major stock market indexes look like they are going to fall back near that level, in what is called a “re-test” of the lows.

The small-company Russell 2000 has already fallen through its Aug. 25 closing low of 1104.10, tumbling nearly 3% Monday and back below the key 1100 level.

But the index Wall Street is watching most closely is the broad Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index, as that is a key market benchmark and a proxy for the entire U.S. stock market. The

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

S&P 500 had another tough session Monday, plunging 2.6% to 1881.77, sinking ever closer to its Aug. 25 close, and correction low of 1867.61. At its low point in late August, the benchmark stock index was down as much as 12.4%.

How the market reacts when stocks get down to the old lows is critical, Wall Street pros say. The storyline is simple: If the market holds at those levels, a floor could develop under the market and stocks could mount a rebound rally. If the old lows don’t hold, prices will go even lower in search of lower support levels.

The Dow Jones industrial average, which tumbled more than 300 points Monday to close at 16,001.89, is nearing its August closing low of 15,666.44. The Nasdaq composite, which fell 3% Monday to 4543.97, is also getting close to its closing Aug. 25 low of 4506.49.

Look at expense ratios before you buy an index fund Q: How can I pick the best index fund?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: “You can’t beat the market” and “just buy an index fund” are two classic — and good — pieces of advice for most investors. But some investors wonder exactly what index fund they’re supposed to buy.

Most investors need a diversified portfolio. That calls for mutual funds that own everything from small-company stocks, large-company stocks, emerging markets, real estate investment trusts, bonds and value-priced stocks. You’ll need to find an index fund that tracks each of these corners of the markets, but the basic strategy is the same for each.

Take the example of large U.S. stocks, an asset type that should be a cornerstone of most investors’ portfolios. When buying an index fund, it’s best to first understand what index you want to own.

The Standard & Poor’s 500, which owns a basket of large U.S. stocks, is a gold standard here. Once you decide which index you want to benchmark against, it’s best to check with your brokerage.

Many brokerage firms offer free commissions on certain exchange-traded funds or index mutual funds, and choosing from this list can save you money.

Once you examine this list, see which fund has the lowest expense ratio. Keeping costs down is one reason index funds are so effective, so choose one that won’t gobble up your money with fees.

Swiss probe 7 banks for suspected metals market rigging Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

The global investigation of suspected manipulation of precious metals markets expanded Monday as Switzerland’s competition authority said it is investigating seven banks over potential price-fixing.

The subjects include U.S. bank Morgan Stanley, Switzerlandbased UBS Group and Julius Baer Group, Germany’s Deutsche Bank, England-based HSBC Holdings and Barclays, and Japanese trading house Mitsui & Co.,

Market spread for gold is under fire.

according to the Bern-based Weko commission.

There are “indications” the banks made deals that violate competition rules on metals market spreads — the difference be-

tween prices offered and the market rate — for gold, silver, platinum and palladium trading, the commission said.

The banks either declined to comment or said they were cooperating with the investigation.

Comco deputy director Patrik Ducrey said the timing and amount of the possible damage wasn’t yet known, the Associated Press reported.

The Swiss investigation joins similar probes in Europe and the U.S. A spokesman for the European Union’s competition office last month said the watchdog agency

was examining potential “anticompetitive behavior in precious metals spot trading,” The Wall Street Journal reported.

The U.S. Department of Justice sent HSBC a request in November seeking records for a criminal investigation “in relation to precious metals,” the bank disclosed in February.

The federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission subpoenaed HSBC’s U.S. division in January seeking similar documents for a civil investigation, the bank also disclosed.

Additionally, Switzerland’s financial regulator in November

ordered UBS to return profits totaling 134 million Swiss francs after concluding that the bank’s traders had attempted to rig precious metals prices and foreign exchange market rates.

The expanded scrutiny of precious-metals trading follows similar investigations into manipulation of the world’s $5.3 trillion-a-day foreign exchange market and a global financial benchmark used to set rates on billions of dollars in mortgages, loans and credit cards.

The benchmark is known as Libor, an acronym for London Interbank Offered Rate.

Lowe, Savage put family, law to test in ‘The Grinder’ THE GRINDER FOX, TONIGHT 8:30 ET/PT

Gary Levin USA TODAY

Maybe law school isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

In Fox’s The Grinder, Rob Lowe plays Dean Sanderson, an actor who returns home to Boise just in time for the finale of his People’s Choice Award-winning legal drama (also called The Grinder). He figures that after playing a lawyer on TV for eight years, he’s enough of a legal eagle to join the practice of his retiring dad (William Devane) and his brother, Stewart (Fred Savage).

RAY MICKSHAW, FOX “I would watch that show House and would honestly fall Dean (Lowe) gives brother into believing that Hugh Laurie Stewart the benefit of his acthas to have some knowledge that ing expertise in the courtroom. would be helpful if I was in some sort of medical emergency,” says Grinder co-creator Jarrad Paul,

explaining what sparked the idea for the show.

But the family comedy about polar opposites — Dean is all cool bravado and Stewart fumbling and nervous — also explores what they envy in each other’s lives.

“We most covet what seems to come so easily for the other one,” says Savage, who starred in ABC’s The Wonder Years as a kid. Stewart sees Dean “as someone who’s respected and admired and heard and appreciated and beloved. And he sees Stewart as someone who’s grounded and rooted and has a home and family that loves him and a place that he belongs. Both of us are the envy of each other.”

In the premiere, Dean negotiates on behalf of his nephew,

while — aided by an adoring judge — he helps Stewart with a client, facing eviction, who goes to trial. (“The Grinder never settles; it’s not in his nature,” Dean says.)

Each episode begins with a scene from the fake legal drama that gently mocks many of TV’s law-show tropes.

Savage says he needed some training from co-stars to spout legal precedents. But learning legalese was easy for Lowe, who “trained at the gulag that is Aaron Sorkin” on NBC’s The West Wing.

He also has family training: his attorney father. “Last time I saw my dad in a courtroom he was defending a guy who was accused of, I believe, plugging a toilet up in a bus that he had rented and destroyed. Only on television is the law always lofty and glossy and compelling and dramatic with twists and turns. I know what it’s like to be a real lawyer, and it’s not Alan Dershowitz in front of the Supreme Court all the time.”

How do you make a movie about Malala?

New film tries to reveal the teen behind the activist and icon

Andrea Mandell @AndreaMandell USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES Malala Yousafzai’s story, which begins in Pakistan’s green Swat Valley and culminates in her becoming the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, inspired Hollywood.

The film about the teen targeted by the Taliban initially was supposed to be a Hollywood-style feature film based on her book, I Am Malala.

But “producers struggled with who would play Malala,” says documentary director Davis Guggenheim (Waiting for Superman).

Instead, they opted to bring cameras closer to Malala herself.

He Named Me Malala, in theaters Friday in New York and Los Angeles and nationwide Oct. 9, offers a new window into the story of a 15-year-old girl whom the Taliban attempted to assassinate for wanting to go to school.

Malala was shot in the head as she sat with her friends on a school bus in 2012. She underwent multiple surgeries and lost hearing in her left ear.

“The bullet went very near to the brain,” says her father, Ziauddin, who was told during her treatment “that she will survive,

ROBERT HANASHIRO, USA TODAY

but she will never be the same as she was.”

Over six months, Malala recovered. And then she went back to school.

“I have this love for education,” says Malala, 18, now in high school in the U.K. and running the Malala Fund, which advocates for global access to education for girls. “I want to see every child getting quality education, but I (also) want to see myself being involved with this — the most powerful weapon in my life.”

Guggenheim filmed the documentary over 18 months and says

Nobel Peace Prize recipient, author and activist Malala Yousafzai, with her father, Ziauddin, is focused on finishing high school in the U.K.

his goal was to show “a real person” instead of an icon. “A girl who does her homework,” he says. “A girl who sometimes doesn’t get A’s, plays Candy Crush, arm-wrestles with her brothers.”

“She doesn’t want to be known as the girl who was shot on the school bus,” he says. “She wants to be the girl who, when difficult things happened, spoke out for what she believed in.” And she wants to fight for other girls.”

For Malala, moving forward is simple: “When I think of what happened to me and the people who did it, I always think of forgiveness. I believe that it’s important we treat others the way we want them to treat us. It’s a very simple rule.”

Safety is one of the few questions that gives her pause as she travels the world campaigning for girls’ rights and navigates her school life in the U.K. “It’s a bit hard. But I do feel safe,” she says Malala gently brings the story of her life back to a global focus.

Through the documentary, “we want to highlight this is not just one family who has suffered through the situation of terrorism — many more are suffering and we need to help them,” she says. “We want to inspire young girls to be part of the campaign.”

YOUR HEALTH YOUR COMMUNITY YOUR STORY

POWER OF POSITIVITY Cancer survivor Megan Hill found the strength to push ahead

By Janice Early Lawrence Memorial Hospital

By Michelle Tevis Twitter: @WellCommons

You’ve got to get up every morning with a smile on your face And show the world all the love in your heart The lyrics from Carole King’s song “Beautiful” helped Megan Hill get through a tough day during cancer treatment.

Hill, 40, of Lawrence, couldn’t go to a football game one Saturday with her family, and she remembers feeling disappointment.

“I stayed home and everyone else went to the football game,” she said. “I couldn’t go do these normal things.”

Rather than getting down about it, she used the song to find happiness.

“It just brought a huge smile to my face,” she said.

“It helped me to see that I’ve just got to be positive.”

Hill was 38 in October 2013 when she received a diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ breast cancer, the most common type of noninvasive breast cancer, according to breastcancer.org.

During the course of her treatment at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, the communication staff reached out to ask if she would be willing to participate in the hospital’s breast cancer awareness campaign.

The hospital adapted her blog from the cancer support website caringbridge. org, and the result is Megan’s Journal. The entries follow Hill’s path from the moment she found a lump in her breast to the final surgery for breast reconstruction and her return to work at Kansas University Endowment.

She had her last chemo treatment on Jan. 23, 2014 — “Funny you remember these dates,” she said — and in late March that year returned to working in the office at the Endowment. She had her final breast reconstruction surgery in April that year.

“I’ve been healthy and working and back in the normal swing of things ever since,” Hill said.

She did have a scare with her recent annual mammo-

MEGAN HILL, A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR WHO IS NOW CANCER FREE, has maintained a positive outlook on life throughout her treatment.

READ MORE Read Megan’s Journal at: www.lmh.org/care-treatment/ womens-health/megansjournal/ gram. Her health care providers identified a mass in her healthy breast, so she had another mammogram, then an ultrasound.

Next, she had an MRI. “So that was a couple of weeks of not knowing whether I had cancer again,” she said.

“That was tough, but you dig

in your heels and try to stay positive.”

The news was good: The mass was a swollen, benign lymph node, much to Hill’s relief.

“I had finally gotten back to my life, and the last thing I ever want to do is go through that again,” she said.

Hill recognizes the tremendous network of support that kept her and her son, who was 12 at the time of her diagnosis, going.

“My employer, my co-work-

ers, all of my friends, I had so much help and support around me, and love,” she said. “That’s really what made the difference for me. I was not alone, for sure.”

She also credits her oncologist, Dr. Sharon Soule, her surgeons and team at LMH for taking such good care of her.

“What a great resource we have for cancer care in Lawrence,” she said.

Knowing whether you are at risk of developing breast cancer is an essential part of breast health.

Discovering whether risk factors are present is key to preventing or identifying the disease early.

When it comes to fighting breast cancer, early detection is a powerful weapon. In fact, breast cancer survival rates are nearly three times greater when caught early. Family history may put some women at higher risk, but the risk is there for everyone: 85 percent of breast cancers occur in women with no family history of the disease.

Roxy Johanning, clinical coordinator for the LMH Breast Center, said, “The best way to protect your breast health is by following evidence-based guideline recommendations of annual mammograms. And yet, according the American Cancer Society, only one out of every two women in Kansas gets properly screened for breast cancer each year. At LMH Breast Center, we are working hard to change that by making digital mammograms comfortable, quick and convenient.”

Breast health screenings at the LMH Breast Center now include administration of a family health questionnaire based on the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines.

If answers on the questionnaire indicate a woman may be at a higher risk for developing breast or ovarian cancer, the LMH Breast Risk Assessment Clinic can provide comprehensive information, clinical services, genetic testing and support.

An initial Breast Risk Assessment screening appointment can be scheduled with Johanning, who is a board-certified nurse practitioner and has certifications as a MammaCare Specialist and Navigator-Breast Provider.

DR. PRIYANKA SHARMA, RIGHT, ONCOLOGIST WITH KANSAS UNIVERSITY CANCER CENTER, speaks to metastatic breast cancer patient Lani Nelson.

Evolving treatments allow metastatic breast cancer patients more time

By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark59

“Life goes on.”

Lani Nelson, 74, won’t surrender that mantra, despite her diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer.

“I’m part of life, it’s going on, I’m swept up in it — in a way I didn’t really choose, but I still am part of life — every bit of it,” Nelson said.

Once considered a devastating diagnosis, metastatic breast cancer is now being treated more as a chronic disease, according to Dr. Priyanka Sharma, an oncologist with the Kansas University Cancer Center.

Breast cancer becomes metastatic when it spreads beyond the breast tissue and lymph nodes — or metastasizes — to other areas of the body, such as the bones or brain, Sharma said.

Sharma said depending on the sub-type of the cancer, women are often living for three to five years, and every few years that number is growing. Nelson, a retired teacher living in Prairie Village, has

lived with the disease for three years now.

“Patients with metastatic breast cancer are living longer because we have newer and better drugs that are not only better, but also better tolerated, that allow patients to stay on those drugs for longer periods of time,” Sharma said.

Most patients can continue with their day-to-day lives, she said, including going to work and taking care of their households and responsibilities. Many of the drugs used in treatment still have side effects that are hard to handle, but the medications to combat those side effects are improving, Sharma said.

Nelson said she stays active, working with a trainer and often going to lunch with friends, but she also spends a lot of time doing crossword puzzles and sudoku — particularly when she’s in “Cancer Land,” which is what she calls her various medical appointments and treatments.

“You kinda get caught up in (doing puzzles) because it’s mindless, and you’re not quite

as frightened,” she said.

One point Sharma stressed is that every patient is different. One of the biggest hindrances to finding the right treatment for the disease, she said, is when patients or their loved ones read on the Internet about others’ bad experiences with a certain drug and develop a bias against it.

“Typically, the treatment is balanced against what effect it is having on quality of life,” Sharma said. “The goal is not to treat a scan — the goal is to treat a person, which means the person’s symptoms and the disease with it.”

Sharma is at the head of two clinical trials on metastatic breast cancer. Trials, she said, are the only way doctors continue to make progress in treatment, and most of her patients are open to participating if they know it will help others in the future.

“We find women are really open to the idea of participating in trials even if they know it might not help them directly, but if it’s going to help future generations and it’s going to

help step up better therapy for the next person coming into the clinic,” she said.

Nelson said often things in “Cancer Land” seem grim, but when she comes home to her one dog, two cats and the various critters that frequent her 15 bird feeders, it “just brings (her) right back to real life.”

She wants other metastatic breast cancer patients to never feel as if they are alone.

“Please, please know that there’s a sisterhood out there, and a brotherhood for men,” she said.

Nelson is optimistic about how medical breakthroughs are changing the outlook of the diagnosis.

“We’re in it together, and we’re fighters,” she said, “(…) and maybe one day, conquerors.”

For an American woman, the chances of getting breast cancer are 1 in 8, Sharma said.

Oncologist joins LMH with background in research, goals for patient care

By Michelle Tevis Twitter: @WellCommons

Heather Cunningham didn’t become a doctor on a whim.

Cunningham, the newest medical oncologist to join the staff at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, has wanted to be a doctor since she was young.

She lost her grandmother to cancer when she was a teen, and saw the effect it had on her whole family.

And her uncle is a surgical oncologist; she watched him in practice, and before he retired she even had a chance to shadow him in the operating room while she was in school.

“There was this juxtaposition between seeing a loved one affected by cancer but also seeing a family member treating cancer” that made her feel she could affect patients and their families in a positive

Soule, a medical oncologist at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

“Anyone with a personal or strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer may benefit from a cancer risk assessment,” Johanning said.

The assessment tools are based on statistical risk and probability models and provide women and their health care providers with information to develop individualized breast health care plans.

way, she said.

So practicing medicine, and specializing in cancer and blood diseases, is a path she seemed destined to take.

Cunningham grew up in California, but her parents are from Illinois, and they thought the Midwest was a good place for their college-bound daughter to go. So she toured a few schools, and Kansas University stuck — in part, she said, because of the kindness of the people here.

And it’s one of the things that has kept her here since she left the West Coast.

Cunningham comes to LMH out of her hematology and oncology residency at KU Med Center. During her residency, she did laboratory research on CCR7, a gene that has been studied in relation to pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia as well as having a possible role in metastatic breast cancer.

“We actually came up, in conjunction with a lab in Cambridge, Mass., with an antiCunningham body targeting that gene receptor to prevent or decrease the leukemic cells from going into the brain in pediatric patients,” she said.

The research is ongoing and not yet FDA approved, but she feels lucky to have been part of it.

“It’s affecting more than one type of cancer,” she said. “You’re talking about adult and pediatric potential targets, but also a hematologic disease and a cancer disease too. “(It’s) exciting to be a part of what hopefully will become a solution in cancer and cancer treatment.”

She is interested in the targeted therapies that are possible now that weren’t possible even 15 years ago.

“It’s an exciting time as a provider to be a part of oncology because we literally by the month are having more that we can offer patients,” Cunningham said. “We’re studying the cancers and the tumor types in a way that we didn’t before.”

While she was getting her undergraduate degree, she volunteered at LMH in the emergency department.

Meeting doctors and staff during that time helped her make the decision to join the staff at LMH and transition her skills from academic research to clinical patient care.

She was impressed with the setup of the oncology department, which was designed to give patients individual privacy for

treatment and exams.

“When I came back in January to tour the clinic here, just, you know, the patients have their own private rooms, the nurses are so dedicated to patient care, I think administratively LMH is a great hospital. So I think top to bottom I was impressed with the quality of care here.”

Cunningham strives to learn about her patients — their stories and experiences — because it can color their decisions in terms of treatment.

She wants patients to ask questions, bring friends and family, and to know she is available to answer those questions.

“I believe that a person, a patient and an individual, is bigger than their disease,” she said. “I think someone is bigger than their diagnosis.”

A Breast Risk Assessment Clinic appointment may involve: l A detailed review of your family cancer history l An assessment of cancer risks for you and your family l Clinical breast examination, if needed l A discussion of the pros and cons of genetic testing l Supportive counseling to help you to make the best decision for you and your family Johanning said, “Deciding to pursue genetic testing is highly personal and requires serious consideration since the result

may have implications for your entire family as well as yourself. We appreciate the concerns involved with genetic testing, and will work with you to help you make an informed decision.”

Genetic tests are performed at LMH and require DNA from cells.

This may be a blood or saliva test. The sample is sent to a specialized outside laboratory to look for specific changes in DNA. Patients review the results and recommendations with our certified staff to determine individualized breast health plans.

Other options may include increased surveil-

lance with breast MRI and clinical breast examinations, according to guidelines by the American Cancer Society, the American College of Radiology and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, together with medical management.

A clinical breast exam may be performed in conjunction with any of the Breast Risk Assessment Clinic services. Patients may request a physical examination of their breasts and lymph nodes.

This will be performed

by Johanning using the MammaCare Method.

The LMH Breast Center is accredited by the

American College of Radiology. Services include: l Digital mammography (three locations: main LMH campus, LMH South, LMH West Imaging) l Breast ultrasound l Breast MRI l Stereotactic-guided core biopsy To make an appointment or more information, call 505-3300 or visit lmh. org/breastcenter.

Gabe: A common stereotype of youth is that we think we are indestructible. The image of a binge-drinking college student is firmly implanted in people’s minds as a common trope in our culture.

This idea of impulsive recklessness is somewhat true, and I believe it is a major reason why skin cancer diagnoses in young people are increasing. Yet quite conflictingly, we all have a desire to plan ahead.

In the back of our minds we have a vision for the future that may or may not be over-idealized.

This usually won’t include visible damage to our skin, but since this seems like something we can’t actively work toward, it often slips our minds.

Yet we can work toward healthy skin by taking easy steps to help prevent melanoma.

The simplest is to wear sunscreen. And I don’t mean just while you’re at the beach. Applying sunscreen (repeatedly) while you spend time outside is a good idea.

And while you may associate sunscreen with summer and hot weather, you are still at risk during the winter.

Many sources, including skincancer.org, recommend wearing a sunscreen with SPF of 15 or higher every day on exposed skin. This isn’t as infeasible as it seems — just a simple once-over before you go out each morning. Other things you can do include seeking shade, wearing long sleeves and pants, and of course, avoiding tanning beds.

Melanoma can strike early. My stepmom was diagnosed with it in her 30s. She was lucky enough to catch it early on. During a regular dermatology checkup for acne she asked her dermatologist to check out what she thought was a birthmark. The dermatologist did a biopsy and discovered that she had melanoma. The cancer was early-stage and only required surgery with no chemotherapy.

During her youth, she had used tanning beds and rarely used sunscreen, which no doubt contributed to her diagnosis.

Luckily, she was vigilant to things that seemed out of the ordinary, and she wasn’t afraid to get it checked out.

It’s easy to forget sunscreen or to stay in the shade, but in the long run, taking care of your skin pays off. Both watching for suspicious marks and wearing UV protection just takes some awareness of what is going on with your body.

Wellsville teacher has support of entire community

By Michelle Tevis Twitter: @WellCommons

Avery Unruh, 8, wanted to give something to other kids whose family members were undergoing cancer treatment.

Avery had seen how well her mom, Ann, was cared for during her stay at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, and in the oncology department as she is undergoing treatment for colon cancer.

“Avery wanted to do something for the kids that may have to stay in the hospital for long periods of time,” said Ann Unruh, 37, of Wellsville.

So she decided to do something with the allowance money she’d been earning — $7 per week.

She had been dividing it up into three cups marked “Give,” “Spend” and “Save.”

“She placed it all into the ‘give’ cup, so she could buy crayons and coloring books for the kids,” Ann Unruh said.

It’s that kind of generosity and support that buoys Ann Unruh during her cancer treatments.

She recently received the fifth of 12 chemotherapy treatments.

“My support structure is phenomenal from family, friends and com-

munity.

They have all been so supportive!” she said in an email.

A friend set up Ann Unruh a Meal Train account, an online scheduling application that allows family and friends to organize meal delivery for people going through birth, surgery or illness.

Her neighbor sold 450 “Team Unruh” shirts as a fundraiser, and the Wellsville Friends Foundation hosted a Dice Run to help support her, she

said.

“I feel truly blessed to live in Wellsville and have the love and support of such a great town,” she said.

Unruh makes an impact in return. She has been a teacher in Wellsville for 16 years — second grade for two years and kindergarten for the past 14 years.

“I truly love teaching 5- and 6-year-olds. I’m the first one to make the best school impression, and I love all the hugs and compliments they give,” she said.

Unruh’s colon cancer was diagnosed at the end of June, and she began

receiving chemo treatments at the end of July.

She had a tumor present, but surgeons were successful in removing it.

“They didn’t have to remove as much of my colon as expected, and the cancer hadn’t spread into any other organs or colon tissue,” she said.

She is still receiving chemo as a precaution.

Unruh has worked hard to keep a positive attitude and strong faith during the diagnosis, surgical and treatment phases of her cancer treatment.

“At 37 years of age, I never would have thought I would hear the

words ‘You have cancer,’” she said.

She was shocked, afraid and sad but was determined that it not get the better of her.

“I have kept my head held high and a smile on my face, and I know that the good Lord is watching over me every step of the way,” she said.

Her advice to others in treatment, as well as those supporting cancer patients: Don’t give up.

“Fight the good fight!” she said.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s Rock the Block fundraiser aims to ‘kick cancer’ Staff Reports

MURAL ON DISPLAY

For more than two decades, Lawrence Memorial Hospital has focused its fundraising efforts in October on breast cancer.

Breast cancer is a devastating disease that affects many individuals, mostly women.

But because all cancers need to be kicked and all survivors rock, the LMH Endowment Association is planning a new event called Rock the Block — Kick Cancer to raise funds and awareness to fight all kinds of cancer.

The event will be an outdoor block party with live music from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday between Jack Ellena Honda and Briggs Auto along W. 29th Street Terrace in south Lawrence.

This is the first year for this fundraiser, which is presented by the Law-

rence Memorial Hospital Endowment Association.

All the proceeds stay in Douglas County and support cancer detection, equipment for advanced treatment options and community education.

The event replaces the popular Stepping Out Against Breast Cancer event, which raised more than $704,000 since 1993.

Entertainment will begin with a live radio remote from 105.9 KISS-FM. Lawrence Journal-World Managing Editor Chad Lawhorn will be there to visit with attendees from 6 to 7 p.m. with Town Talk

Lawrence Memorial Hospital will be given a mural painted by local artist Zak Barnes. Barnes specializes in Kansas landscape paintings and dream-like narratives that have been exhibited all over Kansas.

Barnes was born and raised in Kansas, living between Lawrence and Wichita.

His love for the Flint Hills and the people have inspired his paintings. His paintings are drawn from memory and the landscapes act as a backdrop.

His folk art, surrealism and Live. Three live bands will each take the stage for about an hour apiece, starting with local favorite Marty Moore and the Beerbellies, followed by Kansas City-based LandRush, and the evening will close with Lawrence’s own ’80s and ’90s rock cover band Thunderkat.

Seven days a week is the best we can do.

If you need us, WE’RE THERE.

Voted Best Local Medical Clinic

contemporary composition create uncertainty in the environment and period.

Both natural and manmade elements are placed in his paintings, creating a story for the viewer.

The painting will be given to Lawrence Memorial Hospital during the Rock the Block — Kick Cancer Event on Friday.

The painting will be of a Kansas River covered by a bridge and many sunflowers. Colored ribbons at the event will be offered for people to adhere to the mural in remembrance

of loved ones, offering a 3-D effect to the art piece.

After the event, the powerful piece will be on display next to Mario’s Closet along the corridor to the LMH Oncology Center.

“I hope this painting can give the people that pass it a positive moment in a day that holds extraordinary challenges,” Barnes said. “If my painting can make someone’s day a little better, there really is no greater success.

I am deeply honored to have this opportunity.”

During the event, cancer patients and survivors in attendance will be honored at a Rock Star Ceremony. There will be an opportunity to participate in an interactive mural art project by local artist Zak Barnes, as well as drawings to win themed baskets and KU

basketball tickets.

Tickets are $45 (adults over 21 only) and may be purchased online by Thursday at lmhendowment.org; by phone at 505-3318; at Mario’s Closet at Lawrence Memorial Hospital; or at the event.

The ticket includes food and drink. Bring a lawn

chair if you wish, but no pets, please. Tickets for this year’s basket drawings as well as Rock the Block-Kick Cancer Tshirts may be purchased at LMH this week or at the event.

Co-chairing the Rock the Block event are Dr. Jim Mandigo, Carrie Mandigo, Dr. Luke Huerter and Dr. Michele Bennett, assisted by a team of hundreds of community volunteers and hospital staff. Carrie Mandigo said, “We feel lucky to be a part of this wonderful and dedicated group of people and to have our names associated with this event.”

Briggs Auto, Dale Willey Automotive, Jack Ellena Honda, Meritrust Credit Union and Radiologic Professional Services are the 2015 event sponsors.

Over 35 Years!

Free State student lights the way during lymphoma treatment

By Nora Cox Special to the Journal-World

Many people spend their lives hoping something out of the ordinary will happen to them, but one Lawrence family is welcoming the chance to be normal again.

On Feb. 5, 2014, Gary and Shannon Bruhns’ then-15year-old daughter, Maddi, was diagnosed with stage 3 T-cell nonHodgkin lymphoma. Maddi Bruhns The prescribed treatment was two and a half years of chemotherapy.

There were setbacks along the way, from medication allergies to pneumonia, but her parents say they are proud of the strength Maddi found.

Maddi’s family members weren’t her only supporters, though.

Her classmates at Free

Light the Night raises $63,000 This year’s Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society was a rousing success.

The walk, on Sept. 12, started at South Park in Lawrence and about 600 people participated, said Heather Harper with the Mid-America chapter of the LLS. This year was the first year that a Friends and Family team raised more than $10,000: Team Berk of Topeka.

“We had one other Friends and Family team make over $5,000 and State High held several fundraisers for Maddi and even designed and sold the “No One Fights Alone” T-shirts that Maddi and her team wore at this year’s Northeast Kansas Light the Night Walk in South Park, where Maddi was the 2015 Honored Hero.

Friends and neighbors

one corporate team over $5,000,” Harper said.

All told, the event raised about $63,000 to fund blood cancer research.

Harper said overall the event stepped up the participation and fundraising from last year.

“More people, more revenue — this was a great year,” Harper said.

Anyone who wasn’t able to a participate or hasn’t donated yet can still do so; teams can still accept donations until December.

Visit lightthenight.org and click on “Donate” to search for a team. donated time, money, and even a car for Maddi.

Gary Bruhns says seeing how the community rallies around their own has made him a more giving person.

“I’ve always been willing to help others, but the amount of people giving to us during Maddi’s fight with nothing expected in

return helps me understand the importance of giving back,” he said.

Maddi is about halfway through her treatment journey now, with about a year to go.

“The first year of chemo was hard,” Shannon Bruhns said. “Now that Maddi’s in the maintenance phase, we can see that the end is in sight.

I’m looking forward to her having a normal life.”

Maddi is well on the way to that normal life.

She’s back at Free State High School, and although treatment has weakened her, she’s hoping to get strong enough to run and play sports again. Her experiences have also affected her current and future plans.

“I’m taking a pre-med class this semester, and I love it,” Maddi said. “I’m pretty dead set on being a nurse. They always have the best stories.”

Future patients should take note — nurse Maddi will have a pretty amazing story of her own to tell one day.

REVIVING HOPE. RENEWING CONFIDENCE.

Earliest breast cancer risky for some women, study suggests

By Lindsey Tanner Associated Press

New research shows that chances of dying from very early breast cancer are small but the disease is riskier for young women and blacks, the same disparities seen for more advanced cancer.

Death rates in the 20 years after diagnosis totaled about 3 percent for women whose breast cancer was confined to a milk duct. The death rates were twice as high for those younger than 35 at diagnosis and in blacks — but still lower than those with more common invasive breast cancer.

The findings will likely add to the debate over how to treat these early kinds of tumors that some have said should not even be considered a true cancer because they rarely

spread.

The study authors analyzed U.S. government data on more than 100,000 women diagnosed from 1988 to 2011 with DCIS — ductal carcinoma in situ.

Women were aged 54 on average at diagnosis.

Though low, the risk of dying from breast cancer was almost twice as high as the breast cancer rate in the general population of U.S. women, said Dr. Steven Narod, the lead author and a senior scientist at Women’s College Research Institute in Toronto.

More than 900 women died of breast cancer during the study years. Some had developed invasive disease in either breast, but more than 500 deaths were in women never diagnosed with a second tumor or recurrence, meaning their DCIS

had likely spread before they received treatment, Narod said.

The study was published in August in JAMA Oncology.

DCIS will be found in about 60,000 U.S. women this year, versus more than 230,000 women expected to be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, the cancer society estimates. More women have been diagnosed with DCIS in recent years because of increased screening and better imaging techniques.

Standard DCIS treatment is lumpectomy followed by radiation, although some women choose to have the entire breast or even both breasts removed. The study found that radiation reduced chances for disease recurrence but didn’t lower 20-year sur-

vival chances. That may lead some women to skip radiation, Narod said.

By contrast, the results may lead some young women and blacks to seek more aggressive treatment including chemotherapy, although that isn’t usually recommended when the death rate is less than 10 percent, he said.

“These are tough choices,” said Len Lichtenfeld, the American Cancer Society’s deputy chief medical officer.

Women diagnosed with DCIS shouldn’t panic, he said, because chances for being cured are good. Still, the study shows the disease can behave like invasive cancer and doctors should discuss rates for recurrence and death, and inform patients of all options, he said.

Guidelines for early disease detection

By Michelle Tevis Twitter: @WellCommons

Some cancers can be found early, before they have had a chance to grow and spread. By the time symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread and is harder to treat.

There are screening tests that can be used to look for cancer. The American Cancer Society has some guidelines for early detection screening for breast, colon, lung and prostate cancer, among others. In all cases, anyone with concerns should talk to his or her doctor before deciding on screening.

MORE INFO Visit cancer.org, or call 1-800-227-2345 to get more details on American Cancer Society cancer screening guidelines or to learn more about how to reduce the risk of getting cancer. l Clinical breast exam

about every three years for women in their 20s and 30s and every year for women 40 and over. l Women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any changes to a health care provider right away. Breast self-exam is an option for women Breast Cancer starting in their 20s. l Yearly mammograms Some women — bestarting at age 40 and cause of their family hiscontinuing for as long as a tory, a genetic tendency, woman is in good health. or certain other factors —

should be screened with MRIs along with mammograms. (The number of women who fall into this category is small: less than 2 percent of all women in the United States.) Talk with a doctor about your history and whether you should have other tests or start testing at an earlier age.

Tests that primarily find cancer: l Yearly guaiac-based fecal occult blood test, or l Yearly fecal immunochemical test, or l Stool DNA test every three years Results from these tests will determine the next steps for those being screened.

Colon and Rectal Cancer and Polyps Beginning at age 50, both men and women should follow one of these testing schedules: Tests that find polyps and cancer: l Flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years, or l Colonoscopy every 10 years, or l Double-contrast barium enema every five years, or l CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) every five years

Lung Cancer The American Cancer Society does not recommend tests to check for lung cancer in people who are at average risk.

But screening guidelines exist for those who are at high risk of lung cancer because of cigarette smoking.

Screening might be ap-

propriate for people with all of the following criteria: l 55 to 74 years of age l In fairly good health l Have at least a 30 pack-year smoking history AND are either still smoking or have quit smoking within the last 15 years (A pack-year is the number of cigarette packs smoked each day multiplied by the number of years a person has smoked. Someone who smoked a pack of cigarettes per day for 30 years has a 30 pack-year smoking history, as does someone who smoked two packs a day for 15 years.)

Screening is done with a low-dose CT scan of the chest.

Prostate Cancer The American Cancer Society recommends that men make an informed decision with a doctor about whether to be tested for prostate cancer. Research has not yet proven that the potential benefits of testing outweigh the harms of testing and treatment.

Starting at age 50, men should talk to a doctor about the pros and cons of testing so they can decide if testing is the right choice for them.

Patients who are African-American or have a father or brother who had prostate cancer before age 65 should have this talk with a doctor starting at age 45.

Multiple factors cause high prescription drug prices in U.S.

By Linda Johnson Associated Press

Trenton, N.J. — Sticker-shocked patients increasingly wonder why prices for prescription drugs continue to rise in the United States.

The issue heated up recently on news that Turing Pharmaceuticals raised the price of Daraprim, the only approved treatment for a rare, life-threatening parasitic infection, by more than 5,000 percent to $750 a pill.

Medical groups blasted the increase, and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called it “price gouging.” Turing’s CEO, former hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli, later said he’d make “a serious price adjustment.”

But the issue goes beyond a single company or drug.

From 2008 through 2014, average prices for the most widely used brand-name drugs jumped 128 percent, according to prescription benefit manager Express Scripts Holding Co. In 2014, it estimated that total U.S. prescription drug spending increased 13 percent. Reasons include increasing research costs, insufficient competition and drug shortages.

Pharmaceutical and biotech industry groups say prescription medicines save money by preventing costly complications and hospitalizations and have

long accounted for just 10 percent of annual U.S. health care spending. That could change, because many new drugs for cancer, hepatitis C and rare disorders carry list prices of $100,000 or more for a year or course of treatment.

For patients with insurance requiring them to pay a significant percentage of medication costs, the priciest drugs can be unaffordable. Higher prices can trickle down even to those who now have flat copayments, such as $30 per prescription, because as insurance plans incur higher costs, they usually increase the share beneficiaries pay in subsequent years.

While it’s clear drug prices are rising, many patients don’t understand why. Here are four of the top reasons:

Price controls The U.S. government doesn’t regulate prices, unlike many countries where government agencies negotiate prices for every drug. In the U.S., drugmakers set wholesale prices based mostly on what competing brand-name drugs cost and whether their new drug is better, said Les Funtleyder, health care portfolio manager at E Squared Asset Management.

ally giving a drug’s maker exclusivity that prevents competition for 20 years from when the patent is issued. Because patents are filed while drugs are still in testing, that clock starts ticking long before the drug goes on sale.

Typically, new drugs end up with a monopoly for roughly a dozen years.

Their makers generally increase their prices every year, by about 5 percent or more. Those increases add up, and become bigger as the expiration of the patent approaches.

Limited competition For many drugs, there isn’t enough competition to hold down prices.

Many older generic drugs were priced too low to be very profitable, so some drugmakers stopped making them. Once only one or two companies make a drug, the price usually shoots up.

For older, brand-name drugs that treat conditions too rare to attract multiple manufacturers, the sole maker has a de facto monopoly.

Small markets Many new drugs are for rare conditions or cancer subtypes involving a particular genetic mutation, so they might help just thousands or hundreds of patients. To recoup research and development costs, drugmakers set Lengthy patents very high prices, though Patents last longer than they offer many patients in other countries, usu- financial assistance.

Breast cancer survivor: ‘Be attentive’

By Karrey Britt Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department

Thirteen years ago, Sue McDaneld noticed some minor changes in her breast, and when she had a routine mammogram, it looked different than the year before.

Her health care providers recommended a second mammogram, which led to a biopsy, and that’s when they found the cancer.

McDaneld, a family planning nurse practitioner at the LawrenceDouglas County Health Department, was officially diagnosed Dec. 29, 2001, at age 46.

“Once I knew my diagnosis, I wanted it taken care of,” she said. “I did not want cancer, and I told the doctor, ‘Do what you have to do to keep me alive from this breast cancer.’”

Just three days after her diagnosis, McDaneld went into surgery for a lumpectomy, but she told her surgeon that if she found more cancer to go ahead and do a mastectomy. “‘Don’t wake me up and ask. Just do it,’” McDaneld recalled saying.

During the procedure, the surgeon found a second cancer mass, so she went ahead with the mastectomy. She also removed 13 lymph nodes, although later testing determined they were negative for cancer.

“That was good news because the cancer hadn’t spread,” McDaneld said.

McDaneld then had chemotherapy treatments between January and the end of March at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where she also had her surgery.

SUE MCDANELD, RIGHT, RECEIVED TREMENDOUS SUPPORT from her co-workers at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department during her cancer treatment, she said. Sue is pictured with, from left, Ashley Halton, Carolyn Ball and Olimpia Tyner. The photo was taken during the 2013 Wear It Pink Day. “I was lucky. I was able to do everything here in Lawrence rather than go elsewhere. I had all of the support I needed and had great care providers. Everyone was just amazing in helping me through the process,” she said.

That process included shaving her head, which in some ways, she said, was more difficult than the mastectomy.

“The loss of hair was one of the most visible things, and that’s when I started to feel sick because of the chemotherapy. I didn’t feel sick up until that point.”

McDaneld said her family — which includes two daughters, now ages 31 and 36 — was very helpful and supportive.

“As a family, we dealt with it pretty much with a lot of humor. As my hair started to go, we had a head shaving at home and they helped me shave my head.” McDaneld said she wore scarves, except for Easter. She decided to have fun and decorate her head with temporary tattoos.

McDaneld said she also had incredible support from her co-workers at the Lawrence-Douglas

County Health Department. When she was feeling sick from the chemotherapy, they were quick to fill in when needed.

They also made meals and dropped them off for her.

Before her diagnosis, McDaneld was part of a local grass-roots group for breast cancer awareness. The members of the group shared their experiences and offered a lot of support as well.

McDaneld said she’s fortunate because many of the members of that group had little to no access to support systems

when they were diagnosed years earlier. Now, there’s a month dedicated to raising breast cancer awareness, and McDaneld said her eldest daughter enjoys participating in pink activities to support her and others who have had breast cancer.

“Be attentive and pay attention to your body,” McDaneld advises. “Early diagnosed cancers are very treatable, very curable, and you can survive and live your life. Latefound cancers are very aggressive and tend to have poor outcomes.”

The fight against breast cancer may begin in the kitchen.

A new study suggests that women can dramatically reduce their risk of the disease by following a version of the Mediterranean diet that goes heavy on extra virgin olive oil.

Data from a large, randomized clinical trial show that women who did so were 62 percent less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer compared with women who were simply asked to reduce the overall amount of fat in their diets. The results were published Monday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

The clinical trial, known as PREDIMED, was designed to assess the cardiovascular benefits of the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish and olive oil. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups — Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra virgin olive oil, Mediterranean diet supplemented with mixed nuts, or a regular low-fat diet.

After tracking nearly 7,500 people for about five years, the researchers had compelling evidence that those who were on either type of Mediterranean diet had better heart health than their counterparts who weren’t. The trial was ended in 2010.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

ISU no cupcake, but rest are brutal Stop me if this sounds familiar, but the next opponent on the Kansas University football schedule presents the best opportunity for a Jayhawks victory of all remaining games.

The same was true before Kansas played South Dakota State in the seasonopener and again was the case as KU (0-3) ventured to New Jersey to face Rutgers.

Still, Las Vegas oddsmakers have made Kansas a two-touchdown underdog in Ames, so it will take an upset for the Jayhawks to win Saturday. The Cyclones rank last in the Big 12 with 23.7 points per game and last with 115.7 rushing yards.

The revenge-minded Cyclones (1-2), who have lost to Iowa and Toledo this season, have a more experienced roster than KU, plus the homefield advantage, plus had two weeks to prepare for the game and to rest aching bodies.

Defensively challenged KU still hasn’t played three of the nation’s top five teams in average total yards per game. Five Top-25 teams lie in wait.

If ISU doesn’t represent the best remaining shot at a victory, look at the remainder of a brutal schedule and name a more vulnerable foe.

No. 5 Baylor (Oct. 10, 11 a.m.): The Bears lead the nation with 379.7 rushing yards per game, 7.8 yards per carry, an average of 767 total yards and 9.55 yards per play.

Quarterback Seth Russell (12.44 yards per pass attempt, 15 touchdown passes, four interceptions) is one of three quarterbacks in the Big 12 building a case for Heisman Trophy consideration, with another knocking on the door of doing so. Recruited to Kansas by then-wide-receivers coach David Beaty, when he was working for Turner Gill, Russell committed to KU and then switched to Baylor after Dayne Crist decided to come to Kansas.

Shock Linwood (363 yards, 8.6 yards per carry), Terence Williams (305, 7.4) and Johnny Jefferson (235, 10.2) and Russell (91, 9.1) have combined for 903 of the Bears’ 1,139 rushing yards in three games.

Memphis scored 55 points vs. KU. Depending on how charitable Baylor coach Art Briles is feeling, a 100-point day is in play for the Bears.

Texas Tech (Oct. 17): Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, son of former right-hander of majorleague fame Pat Mahomes has led the surprising Red Raiders to a 3-1 start. The sophomore has averaged 8.83 yards per throw, has 11 touchdown passes and three interceptions and has run for 165 yards. The Heisman hype has started.

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY HEAD COACH MARK MANGINO, NOW THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR AT IOWA STATE, HAS A LAUGH on the sidelines during the second half of the 2009 Spring Game at Memorial Stadium, as current KU coach David Beaty (in red, at right), then the Jayhawks’ wide-receivers coach, stands nearby.

Beaty: Mangino saw something in me

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

This Saturday, for the second season in a row, Iowa State offensive coordinator Mark Mangino, who spent eight years as the head coach at Kansas University, will look across the sideline and see a man he once hired running the show for the Jayhawks.

In his first season at ISU in 2014, Mangino returned to Lawrence for the first time since being forced to resign following the 2009 season and watched then-interim KU coach Clint Bowen pick up his first victory as a head coach against Mangino’s Cyclones.

At 11 a.m. Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, Mangino will square off against David Beaty, who worked as KU’s wide-receivers coach under Mangino in 2008 and 2009.

While last year’s reunion drew heavy attention because it marked Mangino’s return to the place he led to a 12-1 season in 2008, winning national coach of the year honors and the ’08 Orange Bowl title, this year’s game, which will kick off Big 12 play for the 0-3 Jayhawks, means just as much to Beaty because of his fondness for his former boss.

“I have a dear spot in my heart for coach Mangino and his family,” Beaty said Monday morning. “They are a terrific family, and they gave me an opportunity when I’m not sure I deserved it, to be honest with you. He saw something in me that I’m not sure I had even seen in myself. He made a huge impact in my coaching career, not only as a coach, but as a man, too.”

Mangino was known as a

disciplinarian who followed a strict routine and left no detail to chance. Many of the staples of his coaching style stuck with Beaty throughout his career, the first-year KU coach said Monday.

“I think one of the big things is he taught me that there is always another level to push to,” Beaty recalled.

“He always did a great job of guarding against complacency. We paid such attention to detail with everything we did as players and as coaches. He made me a better coach because I really had to focus all day every day on everything to make sure I was efficient for our players and our team.”

In the week leading up to his return to Lawrence last November, Mangino met, via a specially organized conference call, with members of the Kansas media and said

he was thrilled to return to a place about which he had such great memories but added that his focus was not on Kansas, what he accomplished there or what led to his departure. True to Beaty’s words, Mangino spoke then like a coach who did not want anything to distract or take away from his job of trying to lead the Cyclones’ offense.

An undermanned ISU squad was rocked in that game, 3414, and Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said Monday that he hoped Round Two of Mangino V. KU would go much better.

“I hope Mark is focused and ready to lead our offense and have them prepared,” Rhoads said. “And, more importantly, to have them execute and perform Saturday morning at 11 o’clock.”

Rodgers, Packers too much for KC

Green Bay, Wis. (ap) — Aaron Rodgers dissected another defense on a national stage, building a big enough cushion for the Green Bay Packers to overcome a late rush by Jamaal Charles and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Rodgers threw for 333 yards and five touchdowns, including three to Randall Cobb, and Green Bay beat Kansas City 38-28 on Monday night.

Rodgers led the Packers (3-0) on two successful firstquarter drives that ended with scoring passes to Cobb and rookie Ty Montgomery.

He found James Jones for a 27-yard touchdown reception late in the second quarter for a 17-point lead at the break.

Charles rushed for three touchdowns for Kansas City Please see KEEGAN, page 3D (1-2), which followed its

stunning, last-minute loss at home to Denver with a respectable fourth-quarter effort at raucous Lambeau Field.

Charles’ 7-yard TD with 1:25 left got the Chiefs within 10. But the end result was the same for Kansas City, which lost its second straight.

Rodgers was 24 of 35 in another masterful performance for the MVP quarterback.

The Packers controlled the line of scrimmage when it counted and got to Alex Smith for seven sacks.

Smith finished 24 of 40 for 290 yards and a touchdown.

Under pressure near his own end zone, Smith also threw an interception to Sam Shields at the Chiefs 19

Memphis OL Tate has outstanding warrants Memphis, Tenn. — A traffic stop involving Memphis offensive lineman Trevon Tate has revealed outstanding warrants in his name.

Kristi Ransom, a communications manager for the city of Germantown, Tennessee, said Monday that Germantown police stopped Tate on Friday at 7:30 p.m. for driving 89 mph in a 40-mph zone. Ransom said a warrant check revealed Tate had Harris County, Texas, warrants for charges of theft and violation of probation.

Tate’s lawyer, Leslie Ballin, said Monday Tate had been released from jail on his own recognizance.

Tate, a red-shirt freshman from Houston, has played in each of the Tigers’ first four games and started their last two games at right tackle.

Memphis (4-0, 1-0 American) plays at South Florida (1-2, 0-0) on Friday.

Turner is unable to compete or travel with the Volunteers this season because he “was not cleared by the NCAA eligibility center.” He did not provide further detail, but says Turner will be able to practice with the team.

Turner enrolled at Tennessee in August but was awaiting clearance from the NCAA in an attempt to play this season. Turner, who had been planning to enter college in 2016, decided in April to enroll in 2015 instead.

The 6-foot-2 guard from Harvest, Alabama, graduated from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

The loss of Turner leaves Tennessee without a pure point guard.

Washington, N.J. — A high school star quarterback who collapsed after taking a hit on the playing field died from massive internal bleeding caused by a lacerated spleen, according to autopsy reports made public Monday.

The Morris County medical examiner’s office found that the spleen of 17-year-old Evan Murray was “abnormally enlarged,” making it more susceptible to injury.

The Associated Press

The dugout skirmish between the Washington Nationals’ Bryce Harper and Jonathan Papelbon elicited a common reaction around the majors Monday: Yes, these kinds of scraps take place. Not always in front of TV cameras, perhaps, but teammates do get into fights with each other.

“Everybody’s adrenaline and emotions are all over the place, and it happens,” said David Ortiz, who played with Papelbon on the Boston Red Sox. “It’s not like they happen a lot, but they happen. We spend way too much time together, away from our family. You’ve got 25 different mentalities together at once, 25 different men in the same room,” Ortiz said before Boston’s game at the New York Yankees. “Even between big brother, little brother — fights happen. The most important thing is figure things out and go back to normal, which is what I’m pretty sure will happen over there.”

Papelbon, Washington’s closer, was suspended for four games by the Nationals on Monday, a day after he and Harper, the slugging outfielder considered a leading NL MVP contender, tangled during a game.

“My boy Papelbon is legit.

He’s a trooper, a great teammate,” Ortiz said. “At some point, hopefully they figure things out, because Harper is a pretty good kid, too.”

San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said fights involving a pair of guys on the same club “happens a little more than you think — maybe not in the dugout.”

Mariners reliever Joe Beimel, who used to play for the Nationals, said that when he first arrived in the majors with the Pirates in the early 2000s, “it seemed like there was a fight every week or so.”

But those, he recalled, would usually happen out of sight from spectators, maybe in a stadium tunnel leading from the dugout to the clubhouse.

“To do it in the dugout is not a very good idea,” Beimel said.

“First of all, you know cameras are around. Fans are around.”

Harper is 22, Papelbon is 34 and some folks think that played a part in the confrontation.

“There’s a way to talk to young kids. They are part of the team. I’m not a big fan of making them feel like outcasts,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “When I came up the first time as a player, the veterans were tough on you, but you also knew they cared about you. Chris Speier yelled at me so much one time I nearly had tears in my eyes. Then I went up and hit a home run, and he was the first one there to congratulate me.”

ESPN.com lauds Self’s 11-year run

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

ESPN.com’s Myron Medcalf wrote a tribute to Kansas University coach Bill Self on Monday, as Media Day (Thursday), the official start of preseason practice (Friday) and Late Night in the Phog (Oct. 9) draw near.

Now in his 13th year here, Self has led KU to 11 consecutive league titles, one national title and one NCAA runner-up finish.

“This is a ridiculous run that deserves proper recognition. A 12th consecutive championship would be an appropriate time for college basketball fans, the casual and devoted, to acknowledge the challenges Self has overcome for more than a decade,” Medcalf wrote.

“Something or someone should have knocked Kansas from its (league) throne by now because that’s what usually happens in sports. An unexpected injury. The rise of another program. Suspensions in key stretches.

Bad luck. A bad night, week or month. Something. Yet Kansas remained on top.

“The Big 12 has sent 23 non-Kansas players to the first round of the NBA draft since 2005, but LaMarcus Aldridge, Avery Bradley, Michael Beasley, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and others could not help their teams knock Kansas off its perch.

“A 12th consecutive Big 12 title would stamp Kansas’ standing as the most dominant team in college basketball and solidify Self’s position as one of the three best coaches, along with (Mike) Krzyzewski and (John) Calipari, in the game today.”

Medcalf added ...

“You can point to magnificent postseason runs, outstanding winning streaks and rallies toward national titles. And they still won’t top the breadth of what Kansas has accomplished. Each year for the past 11 seasons, Kansas has chewed through a significant portion of the season against familiar opponents and coaches, in favorable Allen Fieldhouse and harsh venues on the road, and still managed to end each Big 12 campaign in first place.

“That’s not just impressive. It’s brilliant and unrivaled. And a 12th consecutive Big 12 title would confirm as much.

At least it should,” Medcalf wrote at http://ljw. bz/1MWiHzj

ward Markieff Morris of the Phoenix Suns — who during the summer was fined $10,000 for a “public statement detrimental to the NBA,” regarding his wanting to be traded — didn’t risk losing any of his four-year, $32 million extension Monday at Phoenix Suns Media Day. Instead of reiterating demands he be dealt following the offseason trade of his brother, Marcus, to Detroit, he told media: “I want to be here.

“I don’t really want to talk about what happened this summer,” he added as quoted by ESPN.com and Azcentral.com.

“I just really want to look forward to this upand-coming season and am glad to be back with my teammates, glad to be back with my team.”

Marcus this year begins a contract extension that nets him $20 million over four years as part of an innovative deal that divided $52 million between the two.

The closest Markieff came to expressing displeasure at Media Day? While telling ESPN he was “super confident” in coach Jeff Hornacek, he wasn’t as kind to GM Ryan McDonough.

“He’s been here a couple of years and me and him have a great relationship,” Morris said of him and the coach. Asked of his relationship to the GM, he said: “You can ask him that, man.”

McDonough told ESPN: “He’s certainly not the first and probably won’t be the last player to be upset with the front office. It happens.”

Markieff, who averaged 15.3 points and 6.2 rebounds last season, said he can go on without his brother.

“I’ve gotten better every year I’ve been in the league,” he said, “and I’m going to continue to get better, with or without my brother.”

Blazers burn LHS, 3-0

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Allowing early goals has been the Lawrence High soccer team’s downfall throughout the season. It was more of the same in Monday’s 3-0 loss to Gardner-Edgerton at LHS. Gardner-Edgerton forward Austyn Hatton scored in the ninth minute after intercepting a pass from Cameron Guy back to LHS backup Apramay Mishra and then again six minutes later on a one-timer from just outside of the 18-yard box.

“The thing that is so frustrating is the fact that we have to wait until we’re scored on twice before we really pick it up and start moving the ball forward,” LHS senior Brennan Davies said.

The Lions had the chance to do just that in the first minute when junior Cain Scott had an open net in front of him, but Trailblazers defender Dylan Mars made the save.

“The story of our season is not finishing early

opportunities. When you don’t finish early opportunities, then you start pressing,” LHS coach Mike Murphy said. “You play nervous, you play tight, and you make mistakes.”

The Lions had plenty of opportunities to claw back into the game, as they had four free kicks in the attacking third in each half, but could not find a way to get the ball past Gardner-Edgerton goalkeeper Tavita Ploetz.

“The service is there whether it’s me, Piper (Hubbell) or Charlie (Carr) whipping the ball in,” Davies said. “It’s just the matter of, once it gets in the box, who wants it more? If you’re in the box making a run, you’ve got to know, ‘I’m the one getting on the end of this ball. I’m getting up and I’m going to win it.’”

That competitive spirit is something Murphy said the Lions have to find fast in order to turn the season around. Murphy felt that the Lions were progressing in the threegame stretch against

Shawnee Mission Northwest, Shawnee Mission West and Shawnee Mission East, but took a major step backward against Gardner-Edgerton.

“I thought that even though the scoreboard didn’t go our way in two of the games, I thought we were competing, getting better, making improvements and I felt really positive about the direction of the team,” Murphy said.

The Trailblazers added an insurance goal in the 67th minute, when Carson Harding pushed the ball past Mishra.

Mishra will continue to fill in for Jeremiah Barbe for the Lions’ next two matchups, as the LHS starting keeper is sidelined after suffering a concussion in Thursday’s 3-1 loss to SM East.

Along with Barbe, centerback Sam Dykes and forward Avery GermanMartinez are also banged up, and the wounded Lions have a quick turnaround game at 7 tonight against SM South at LHS.

tions, 139 rushing yards) is on pace to gain consideration as a Heisman candidate, although that might be a little premature.

At Texas (Nov. 7, 7 p.m.): Kansas has made six trips to Austin, seeks its first victory there and twice did not score a point. Average score: 5013. Texas has found ways to beat itself, but the size and speed disparity should help the Longhorns to build a big lead.

At No. 4 TCU, (Nov. 14): Trevone Boykin, the Big 12’s top Heisman hopeful, gives defenses fits every week. He has thrown 14 TD passes, three interceptions and averages 9.61 yards per pass attempt. He has rushed for 190 yards.

Plus, the Horned Frogs won’t take KU lightly, remembering their near-

loss in Lawrence last season.

No.23 West Virginia (Nov. 21): The Mountaineers always have a deepthreat receiver. His name this year is Shelton Gibson (27.4 yards per catch, four touchowns in three games). And the West Virginia defense is the team’s greatest strength.

Opponents score 7.7 points per game.

Kansas State (Nov. 28): The Wildcats might not be as strong this season as in the past few, but Bill Snyder always makes this game a priority and his teams tend to improve more than most during the course of a season. Post-Mark Mangino, KU is 0-5 vs.

Kansas State by an average score of 51-13.

KU’s remaining nine opponents are a combined 25-6.

Ford out, Cozart to start Beaty said Monday morning that junior quarterback Deondre Ford, who started last week’s loss at Rutgers in place of ailing starter Montell Cozart, was out for this week’s game at Iowa State due to a thumb injury.

Beaty said Cozart would start and true freshman Ryan Willis would work as his backup.

No time frame was given for Ford’s return.

The initial diagnosis was that the junior-college transfer suffered a thumb sprain during the second quarter of last week’s game.

KU-Baylor set for 11 a.m. kick The Big 12 Conference announced Monday morning that the Oct. 10 game in Lawrence between Kansas and Baylor would kick off at 11 a.m. and be televised on FOX Sports 1. That will mark three consecutive 11 a.m. kickoffs for Kansas, which started at 11 a.m. (central time) at Rutgers and will kick off at 11 a.m.

BRIEFLY Kansas golf one shot back Madison, Wis. — Kansas University’s men’s golf team moved within one stroke of overall leader Miami of Ohio after Round Two of the Badger Invitational on Monday.

The Jayhawks’ Chase Hanna is in second place at 5-under, trailing Miami’s Patrick Flavin by three strokes. Two other Kansas players, Daniel Hudson and Connor Peck, are also in the top 10. Hudson is tied for fifth at 3-under, while Peck is tied for eighth at 1-under.

Charlie Hillier, 13th (2-over, Ben Welle, tied for 45th (9-over) and Drake Hull, tied for 54th (11-over), round out the Jayhawk contingent.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Piscotty hurt in Cards’ win The Associated Press

National League Cardinals 3, Pirates 0 Pittsburgh — Matt Carpenter raced home to break a scoreless tie in the ninth inning when two Pittsburgh Pirates outfielders mishandled Jon Jay’s single, and Mark Reynolds followed with a two-run homer to lift the banged-up Cardinals to a victory on Monday night.

The Cardinals reduced their magic number to clinch a third straight NL Central title to two after getting to Pittsburgh closer Mark Melancon (3-2).

St. Louis can wrap up the division with a victory tonight at Pittsburgh.

In the bottom of the seventh, Cardinals outfielder Stephen Piscotty was carted off the field following a violent collision with teammate Peter Bourjos. The team said Piscotty was taken to the hospital with a head contusion, and tests were negative. He was to be held overnight for observation.

In a frightening scene, Piscotty lay motionless on the grass in left-center field for several minutes after his collision with Bourjos. Piscotty, playing left, and Bourjos, playing center, were tracking Josh Harrison’s drive to the gap when Bourjos’ knee slammed into the head of the diving Piscotty. Bourjos made the catch while Piscotty crumpled to the turf.

Piscotty was strapped to a backboard and carted off the field. The rookie did manage a wave with his left hand before disappearing into a tunnel underneath the stadium, eliciting a big cheer from the Pittsburgh crowd.

Jonathan Broxton (4-5) earned the win, and Trevor Rosenthal got three outs for his 48th save.

Nationals 5, Reds 1 Washington — On another eventful afternoon at Nationals Park, Washington right-hander Max Scherzer came within five outs of his second nohitter of the season hours after closer Jonathan Papelbon was suspended for fighting with Bryce Harper a day earlier.

Scherzer (13-12) did not allow a hit until Tucker Barnhart singled to left field on a 1-2 count with one out in the eighth.

That came on Scherzer’s 105th pitch, and fans at the stadium rose to salute the right-hander with a standing ovation. To that point, the Reds only had three base-runners, on walks in the first, third and seventh innings.

Tigers 7, Rangers 4 Arlington, Texas — Justin Verlander allowed one run in six innings, and Tyler Collins’ three-run home run sparked a five-run fifth inning as Detroit beat Texas, handing the Rangers their third straight loss.

It’s Texas’ longest losing streak since mid-August. The Rangers went into Monday’s play leading the AL West by 21⁄2 games over the Astros, who played later Monday at Seattle.

Verlander (5-8) gave up a leadoff homer to former Detroit teammate Prince Fielder in the fourth.

He allowed six hits and walked two while striking out five.

Collins, who graduated from Justin Northwest High School about 45 minutes from Globe Life Park, pulled his fourth homer of the season down the right field line to break a 1-1 tie. The homer followed a leadoff single by Dixon Machado and a double by Anthony Gose.

Colby Lewis (17-9) allowed six runs on 10 hits in 4 2⁄3 innings, his shortest outing since June 5.

THE CUBS’ CHRIS DENORFIA HAS WATER DUMPED ON HIM by teammates Anthony Rizzo, left, and Dexter Fowler, right, after Denorfia hit a walk-off homer to give the Cubs a 1-0, 11-inning victory over the Royals on Monday in Chicago.

Ventura sharp, but Cubs win in 11, 1-0 Chicago (ap) — Yordano Ventura has been nearly unbeatable over the past two months. But even what may have been his best outing of the season wasn’t enough for the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.

Chris Denorfia hit a pinch-hit home run leading off the bottom of the 11th inning to give the Chicago Cubs a 1-0 victory over Royals.

Denorfia hit the first pitch from reliever Miguel Almonte (0-2) into the left-field bleachers for the Cubs’ majorleague-leading 13th walkoff victory of the season.

It was Denorfia’s third homer of the season.

For Ventura, who allowed only two hits in seven scoreless innings, the finish was tough to digest even though he didn’t factor into the decision. In 12 starts since July 26, Ventura has gone 8-1 with 74 strikeouts.

Yet, after allowing only the two hits and striking out six while walking one, another impressive outing by Ventura couldn’t make up for the Royals lack of offense.

“Its just one of those days where one run was going to determine the game,” Ventura said through an translator.

Kansas City relievers Kelvin Herrera, Luke Hochevar and Ryan Madson picked up were Ventura left off, keeping the Cubs off the board until Denorfia homered off of Almonte on the first pitch he saw.

“These games are fun,” Denorfia said. “You never quite know what’s going to happen. You’ve got to be ready when your name is called.”

Ventura was perfect through the first five innings, although Kris Bry-

with about seven minutes left in the third quarter. Shields returned it 15 yards, and on the next play, Rodgers found Cobb for a 4-yard touchdown and a 31-7 lead.

Rodgers and Cobb hooked up for another 4-yard scoring pass in the fourth. With the score, Rodgers set the franchise record with his fourth career game of at least five touchdown passes.

Kansas City stopped its long streak of no touchdown receptions by a receiver when Jeremy Maclin hauled in a 5-yard TD pass with 56 seconds left in the third quarter to get the Chiefs within 31-14.

It was the first touchdown pass caught by a receiver since Donnie Avery had a 79-yard catch-and-run against the Indianapolis Colts in
