GaDuGi SafeCenter to change name Effective Monday, the Lawrence-based GaDuGi SafeCenter will change its name to The Sexual Trauma & Abuse Care Center.

GaDuGi executive director Chrissy Heikkila said in a news release that the new name will more explicitly represent the services the organization provides.

“We love the name GaDuGi SafeCenter and it has served our agency well,” Heikkila said. “As we are expanding and growing, the need for a name that is accessible and inclusive made the decision clear.”

Though the name will change, the services will not, GaDuGi director of community engagement Rachel Gadd-Nelson said.

“Counseling, Advocacy & Response, and

Education are still the core programs that serve victim-survivors of sexual trauma and abuse of all ages and genders,” GaddNelson said.

Last year, the agency provided 335 adult men, women, and transgender people and children with 1,385 hours of therapy and advocacy services, Gadd-Nelson said. The agency also reached more than 3,000 people with 106 outreach and educational events.

This isn’t the first time the organization has changed its name, Gadd-Nelson said.

The agency began in 1972 under the name Rape Victim Support Services.

GaDuGi is a Cherokee word meaning “working together with the community.”

A power outage on Kansas University’s campus Thursday morning affected a number of buildings after steam pressure issues caused an electrical circuit feeding the KU campus to fail.

The circuit was down for 3 minutes, from 11:14 to 11:17 a.m., according to Westar representative Jaycee Breese. KU began restoring power slowly, so as not to overload its equipment.

Around noon, fire crews responded to a report of smoke inside Snow Hall on Jayhawk Boulevard. Fumes from a diesel generator entered the building through a door that had been propped open, and there was no fire, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Division Chief Eve Tolefree said. The building was reopened after a brief investigation.

Kansas is one of only a handful of states that now require proof of citizenship before a person can register. The law was enacted in 2011 at the request of then newly elected Secretary of State Kris Kobach, and it took effect in 2013.

Statewide, more than 36,000 registrations are being held in suspense, the vast majority because of the proof-of-citizenship requirement.

Various news organizations, including the JournalWorld, have obtained the list of voters in suspense to analyze what types of voters are being affected the most. The Journal-World’s analysis in October 2014 showed the law disproportionately affected younger voters, voters with no party affiliation and voters from lower-income neighborhoods.

Topeka — Republicans on a legislative committee that will oversee the state’s implementation of a plan to reduce carbon emissions from power plants said Thursday they would prefer to see those regulations overturned by federal courts.

Biochem researcher, Faulkner expert win KU honors Staff Reports

Kansas University Endowment on Thursday announced the latest of its prestigious Chancellors Club honorees.

Each will receive $10,000 and be honored Oct. 30 at KU Endowment’s Chancellors Club celebration in Lawrence.

Meet the winners:

tion with an alleged vehicle theft who fled from officers Thursday.

The incident began with a report of a stolen brown Chevy Equinox at Longhorn Steakhouse, 3050 Iowa St., just before noon, Lawrence police spokeswoman Kim Murphree said.

An officer was still taking the report on the missing vehicle at 12:50 p.m. when another officer spotted the vehicle near the intersection of Bob Billings Parkway and Kasold Drive. That officer attempted to pull over the SUV, but the driver continued driving, Murphree said. Scanner traffic indicated the people inside the car were throwing items out of the windows of the vehicle during the chase.

The officer’s supervising patrol sergeant called off the pursuit after a short time for safety reasons because of the speed and location of the chase.

Soon after, police found the vehicle again, this time in the 900 block of Pamela Lane.

That’s when police said they witnessed two

Plan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Lawmakers established that committee earlier this year in response to the EPA’s proposed new Clean Power Plan which, as currently drafted, will require all states to reduce carbon emissions from power plants 32 percent below 2005 levels by 2030.

The Clean Power Plan is intended to address the threat of global climate change, which has been linked to greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide.

Under the new state law, however, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment is responsible for developing a plan for Kansas, but it must be approved by the committee before it can be implemented.

Olson and the committee’s chairman, Rep. Dennis Hedke, R-Wichita, have both stated publicly that they do not accept the scientific evidence linking carbon emissions with climate change. “If mankind has any measurable effect on the climate, it’s too small to measure right now,�

Hedke said. “By all the technical means we’ve got available to us, it’s too

men and a woman get out of the vehicle and flee from the scene on foot.

Officers set a perimeter around the area to catch the three.

Nearby West Middle School and Hillcrest Elementary School kept classes indoors and “made sure (their) building(s) (were) secure as a precaution,�

Lawrence school district spokeswoman Julie Boyle said Thursday. However, a full lockdown “was not necessary based on (the district’s) communication with law enforcement,� Boyle said.

Officers caught the woman and one man — the driver and a passenger — one of whom was hiding in thick brush in the 1000 block of Westdale Road. That person was found with the assistance of a Patrol Service Dog, Murphree said.

The man and woman have both been arrested on suspicion of felony theft, obstruction, fleeing

and eluding law enforcement, Murphree said. One name — Jason Andrew Allen — appears on the Douglas County Jail booking logs in connection with the crime. Allen, 37, of Lawrence, is booked on suspicion of driving without a driver’s license, felony theft, criminal use of a weapon, obstruction of the legal process, fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement and littering.

The woman has not appeared on the logs.

Police continue to search for the third suspect, described as a white man with dark hair and a beard, Murphree said, though they called off the manhunt around 1:45 p.m.

Scanner traffic indicated the suspect may be a 38-year-old man who was wearing a plaid shirt at the time of the incident. He was last seen running eastbound along Ninth Street. – Reporter Caitlin Doornbos can be reached at 832-7146 or cvdoornbos@ ljworld.com.

Dreams run into reality in Syria

EDITORIALS

Efficiency?

It will be interesting to see what consultants come up with to improve government “efficiency” in Kansas.

A

s they struggled to close a state budget gap earlier this year, frustrated Kansas legislators approved spending up to $3 million on a government efficiency study that they hoped would make their job easier next year.

Although many legislators questioned the need to spend so much money on such a study, the measure eventually passed, and last month, the New Yorkbased consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal was selected to perform the efficiency study and make recommendations to the 2016 Legislature.

Advocates of smaller government often talk about increasing efficiency as a way to cut expenses. Ideally, increased efficiency should allow government to perform the same duties but in a streamlined or smarter way that is less expensive. Sometimes, however, being more “efficient” actually amounts to government shirking duties, dropping services or pushing responsibilities onto local units of government. Such measures reduce spending but perhaps not in an acceptable or desirable way.

Alvarez & Marsal was hired in 2013 to do an efficiency study for the state of Louisiana. The recommendations that resulted from that study may be interesting to Kansas residents. The Louisiana report included a list of suggestions that supposedly would save the state $2.7 billion over several years. That’s a significant amount, but the report drew criticism because many of its cost-cutting recommendations already had been considered by the state, and many of its estimated cost savings lacked supporting documentation.

Among “efficiencies” recommended in the report was the sale of more than a hundred pieces of Louisiana state property. The sale would raise an estimated $28 million, which would help the state in the short term, but it doesn’t do much to cut expenses over the long haul. A few other recommendations in the report got considerable attention in news reports.

The consultants recommended increasing Louisiana transportation revenue by selling more advertising on state roads, bridges and rest stops. To reduce expenses, they called for reducing the highway construction fleet and reducing the thickness of asphalt road overlays to one inch.

To cut health care expenses, the consultants suggested requiring more pregnant Medicaid recipients to use midwives or doulas rather than delivering their babies in a hospital. The study also recommended that administrative management for uninsured residents be shifted from the state to local government entities.

Are these the kinds of suggestions Kansas legislators are looking for?

Maybe the New York consultants got different marching orders in Kansas than in Louisiana, but the conclusions of the Louisiana study certainly raise some questions about just what these consultants will come up with for Kansas.

In 1992, not long after the Soviet Union collapsed, I wandered through the massive Russian Embassy compound in Damascus.

As a center of Soviet power off limits to Westerners, it had been a beehive of activity, with about 5,000 civilian and military advisers. Now it was virtually deserted.

As news flows in about the new Russian military buildup in Syria, I can’t help thinking how delicious this reversal must be to Vladimir Putin, who has openly rued the collapse of the Soviet Union. Putin’s yearning to

Trudy Rubin

What’s astonishing is how the administration has failed to read Putin.” reexert Soviet — whoops, I mean Russian — global influence is no secret.

So why is it so hard for President Obama to understand the Russian leader’s intentions in the Middle East?

Having blindsided U.S. officials with his sudden infusion of tanks, planes, and missiles into Syria, Putin urged the world this week to rally behind the vicious regime of Bashar al-Assad. In a U.N. speech, Putin proposed a “broad international coalition” (no doubt led by Moscow) that would fight terrorism — like “the anti-Hitler coalition” in World War II. There’s only one problem with this formula: Neither Putin nor Assad is interested in taking on ISIS. Indeed, the Russian president knows well but cares not that Assad’s war crimes against civilians have fueled Sunni support for ISIS. Rather, Moscow seeks to firm up Assad’s wobbly hold on power while building an unprecedented air and naval presence on the Mediterranean and projecting himself as a world leader. He also hopes to corral Obama into

helping him achieve that goal.

What’s astonishing is how the administration has failed to read Putin. Despite frequent meetings between Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, U.S. officials were caught by surprise by Moscow’s military actions in Syria. They were equally startled by Russian air strikes there on Wednesday — aimed not at ISIS but at anti-Assad militias, including some backed

by Washington and its allies.

The administration’s somnolence can only be explained by its wishful-thinking policy toward Moscow.

In 2013, Putin saved Obama from having to act on his own red line and bomb Syrian military sites after Assad killed more than 1,000 civilians with chemical weapons.

Seeing Obama waffle and turn to a reluctant Congress to green-light the strikes, Putin offered him a face-saver by pressing Assad to give up (most of) his chemical weapons. Never mind that Assad continues to kill tens of thousands of civilians with barrel bombs dropped on hospitals and markets, and still uses chlorine gas shells that aren’t covered by the chemical weapons accord.

Despite administration denials, some officials still seem to nurture false hopes that Russia can rescue Obama’s failed Syria policy.

They dream that Moscow will squeeze Assad to negotiate a peace deal in which the Syrian leader agrees to

exit after a transition and be replaced by a government of regime and opposition figures. With an inclusive government, so the thinking goes, Sunni support for ISIS would fade.

Putin’s U.N. speech and Moscow’s military actions in Syria make clear that this hope is a pipe dream. Like Assad, the Russian leader considers any opposition to the Syrian regime to be the work of terrorists. To him, the 2011 peaceful uprising of middleclass Syrians who sought a better government was nothing but a Western plot.

So, as Wednesday’s bombing made clear, Putin will help Assad’s efforts to push back against non-ISIS militias, while protecting his hold on Damascus and the Syrian coast. Russian air support will make it hard for Arab states to supply anti-Assad militias.

As for ISIS, the Syrian military hasn’t fought it in the past and won’t in the future. Assad needs ISIS to survive so he can claim that the world needs him. As for the Russians, they won’t commit ground troops to fight ISIS jihadis. In the words of Andrei Kolesnikov, of the Carnegie Endowment’s Moscow Center: “I think Russia is not ready to fight a thousand kilometers from its borders. It would be a repetition of the Afghanistan story.”

Instead, Putin has made his demands clear: The West and Sunni Arab states must cease their opposition to Assad, and press their Syrian militia allies to ac-

Mower rescue

To the editor: The increase in fall enrollment at KU is excellent news (“For second year in a row, KU sees enrollment rise,” Sept. 26, and “Enrollment boost,” Sept. 29). Yet, the drop in the number of black students in this fall’s freshmen class should temper any celebration. Further, the rise in the number of international students is not a suitable basis for measuring the status of “minority students” or campus “diversity,” and it distorts the context in which we should understand both concepts.

Specifically, internationalizing the discussion of racial/ethnic diversity obscures an ongoing problem, at KU and elsewhere, of recruiting and retaining African Americans and other historically underrepresented domestic racial groups, all of whom have had unique experiences of political, social and economic subordination in the United States.

Any democratic society worthy of the description should be judged by how discontented its members remain with the work of extending access and participation to all. We should do no less in judging “progress” at our institutions of higher learning.

Clarence Lang, Lawrence

To the editor: I recently was transporting my just-repaired mower from northeast Lawrence to my northwest residence. Arriving at home — no mower!

I immediately backtracked twice and no sign of the mower or tiedowns that had broken loose. I was resting in my recliner, saddened by the event when my brain kicked in with, “Call the police and report it!”

The very nice dispatch lady said “We may have it. … I’ll call you back.”

Within three minutes the call came. The mower was found in the Sixth and Wakarusa area and taken to the nearby fire station where a police officer picked it up.

It was at 111 E. 11th St. Arrangements were made and I picked it up within an hour. Case closed.

Thanks to all involved!

Diversity gap

cept the status quo ante at peace talks.

But this scenario, too, is a pipe dream. Syria’s Sunnis will never again accept a regime that has committed staggering atrocities against tens of thousands of civilians. Nor can Syria’s myriad non-ISIS militias easily be shut down. The fighting could continue for a long time, with ISIS being the main beneficiary.

Putin probably knows his Plan A can’t work, so I suspect that (unlike Obama) he has a Plan B: Forget diplomacy. Solidify Assad’s hold on Damascus and the coast by force. Create an Assadstan on the Mediterranean, which will become a territorial base from which Russia can exert powerful new regional influence.

Let Sunnis kill each other, let the refugees keep flowing. Wait for the West and Arab states to come begging for intelligence and cooperation against ISIS. The only slim hope for surcease is that all sides might agree to a temporary ceasefire in place — but the Russians’ arrival may rule out this option.

In Syria, Obama based his hopes on diplomacy without providing any military support to moderates, which might have made a difference three years ago. Now Putin claims to be interested in diplomacy while backing his Syrian ally with force.

He is too cynical for dreams.

The poverty rate in Lawrence is 24.8 percent. Our severely underfunded Section 8 program, which subsidizes housing for low-wage earners, can only provide help for one in four qualifying people.

Searching the regular market, a current guest at the shelter with a $9/hour job could only find a $600 one-bedroom apartment or a $500 room in a private home, neither feasible on her income. Adding water, trash and utility fees and $25 to $35 nonrefundable application fees results in yet another stressed, unhoused working Lawrencian.

When Boulder, Colo., officials noticed effects of economic development decisions on the poor and working class in their community, they made affordable housing a priority with funding sources for permanent affordable housing located throughout their city.

Our mayor and three commissioners take seriously the needed balance of economic development and affordable housing. Support them and groups like Justice Matters in protecting and expanding affordable housing for all income levels, including those who work in our local industries and who serve our visitors.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 2, 1915: years “The day was ideago al for the Vinland IN 1915 fair. Long before noon the groves were well filled with people and the roadway and side lots were filled with vehicles. At noon baskets were opened and the good dinners were enjoyed by everyone. Prof. Crabtree of Manhattan was the judge and he did not lose a minute from morning till night. In the agricultural exhibit he said the showing of corn was the best he had seen in the state.... The household department was full of interest for the ladies and even the men liked to hang around a bit. There were exhibits of cut flowers that would back California off the stage, the canned fruit would make the famous fifty-seven varieties look cheap and tawdry…”

Morgan said he’d worked in local, state and federal government and had been “vetted by the public arena for the last 25 years.”

In Thurday’s deliberation, each of the four current commissioners named their first choice and then filled out a ballot naming their top three.

The commissioners’ first choices were awarded three points, their second two points and their third one point.

Larsen earned a total of eight points, and Morgan had five.

The commissioners’ selections were, in order:

Amyx: l Watson l Morgan l Larsen Boley: l Larsen l Schauner l Morgan Herbert: l O’Brien l Morgan l Larsen Leslie Soden: l Larsen l Schauner l O’Brien Amyx read the tabulated votes aloud to the six candidates and the crowd.

All of the candidates applauded the results.

“This is not defeat,” Commissioner Soden said. “This is just one step in the next direction.”

Herbert said he “listened as six people taught me a very important lesson.”

“I leave here feeling like I’ll be better at this job going forth,” he said.

Ten people were killed and an additional seven injured Thursday after a 26year-old gunman opened fire in a classroom at a community college here in southern Oregon.

Breach may have exposed 15 million T-Mobile records Elizabeth Weise USA TODAY

A hacker has acquired the records of 15 million T-Mobile customers and people who had applied for credit, the company reported Thursday.

The breach occurred at Experian, the vendor that processes TMobile’s credit applications, TMobile CEO John Legere said at t-mobile.com.

Experian North America said in a notice that one of its business units was compromised but that its consumer credit bureau was not affected. Experian immediSAN FRANCISCO

ately secured the server and began an investigation.

It has notified both U.S. and international law enforcement. Experian North America’s parent company, Experian, is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland.

“The investigation is ongoing, but what we know right now is that the hacker acquired the records of approximately 15 million people, including new applicants requiring a credit check for service or device financing from September 1, 2013 through September 16, 2015,” Legere wrote.

“Obviously I am incredibly an-

The compromised information includes customers’ names, addresses and birth dates as well as encrypted fields with Social Secu-

rity number and ID number, which could be a driver’s license or passport number.

Experian told T-Mobile the encryption protecting those numbers may have been compromised, Legere said.

Experian and T-Mobile have set up two years of free credit monitoring and identity resolution services for compromised customers. The service is being offered through Experian’s own credit monitoring service.

Experian cautioned consumers that neither Experian nor T-Mobile would call them or send them messages asking for personal information in connection with the breach.

Islamic State lures fewer U.S. recruits, FBI director says Kevin Johnson @bykevinj USA TODAY

WASHINGTON After tracking alarming spikes in U.S. recruits to the ranks of the Islamic State terrorist group, FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that the number in recent months appears to be slowing.

The drop-off, Comey said, may be due to the aggressive federal prosecution of dozens of U.S. suspects, many of whom have been convicted and sentenced to long prison terms.

Comey suggested that potential recruits, often disaffected young people drawn to the terror group’s far-flung social media campaign, are increasingly recog-

nizing the risks associated with pledging their allegiance to the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, and the difficult conditions they are bound to confront if they make it to the battlefield in Syria.

He said there has been no drop-off in the number of the Islamic State’s English-speaking Twitter followers, estimated at 20,000 throughout the globe.

“There is an enormous universe of people consuming ISIL worldwide,” Comey said.

Federal authorities have been especially concerned for those who have returned to the United States after traveling to the region where many have received training and were probably encouraged to carry out attacks back in the U.S.

Russia, U.S. exchange charges about strikes ra Front; and other extremists. “If the United States-led coalition targets only terrorist groups, then we do the same,” he said.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Russia’s involvement in Syria makes the conflict “indefinite,” but the two countries met for an hour to discuss “de-conflicting” operations so as not to get in each other’s path militarily.

Earnest noted that Elissa Slotkin, who represented the United States in Thursday’s videoconference, “pointed out that the Russian military operations we’ve seen so far raise some concerns, because Russia is targeting areas where there are few, if any, ISIL forces operating.”

Earnest called Russia’s airstrikes “indiscriminate military operations against the Syrian opposition.”

Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY SAUL LOEB SAUL LOEB, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

FBI Director James Comey also addressed surging violence in some communities.

Despite that, Comey said the demands for tracking those returning fighters are “not exceeding” the bureau’s resources.

Comey’s remarks were part of a briefing at FBI headquarters where some of the director’s most pointed comments addressed pockets of rising violent crime across the country.

He said the surging violence in some communities has become increasingly “worrisome” and will require a new focus by law enforcement officials even as crime in much of the country has been in sustained decline.

Russia mounted a second round of airstrikes in Syria on Thursday and met with Pentagon officials by videoconference as the White House charged that Moscow targeted areas with few Islamic State militants.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, speaking at the United Nations, said his country and the U.S. coalition “see eye-to-eye” on the targets in Syria. He rejected claims that Russia aimed at Syrian opposition groups to support its longtime ally, President Bashar Assad.

Amid mounting charges and countercharges, Lavrov said Moscow was going after the same targets as the U.S. coalition — the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS; the al-Qaeda-linked Nus-

IN BRIEF JOAQUIN BATTERS BAHAMAS AS U.S. BRACES FOR FLOODS

Hurricane Joaquin battered the Bahamas on Thursday as the U.S. braced for its possible arrival as well as historic floods from another weather system.

Regardless of what Joaquin does, an equal concern in the U.S. is a “ potentially life-threatening rainfall event expected this weekend” in the Southeast from a separate weather system, the National Weather Service said.

States along the East Coast are bracing for the worst, whether from Joaquin or the other system. New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina all declared states of emergency ahead of the predicted weather.

Joaquin will move northward much of this weekend, AccuWeather said. There is nearly equal possibility the storm will make landfall along the Mid-Atlantic, the New England coast or veer out to sea.

“Everybody is in shock, very very shocked,” Andrews said.

Sean Clark, a spokesman for Roseburg Health Care System, told KATU-TV that the hospital called in extra staffers from other shifts to care for anyone wounded in the attack.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives tweeted that it had special agents at the college and was sending additional agents, as well as a K-9 team, to the scene. Officers from the Department of Homeland Security were also sent.

“While it is still too early to know all of the facts, I know I am joined by my fellow Oregonians and Americans in profound dismay and heartbreak at this tragedy,” Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said before leaving for Roseburg.

The White House said Obama was briefed on the situation by homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco.

The college, 6 miles north of Roseburg, Ore., normally has 3,000 full-time students and 16,000 part-timers.

“It is a peaceful community,” said Hanlin, the sheriff overseeing the investigation. “Certainly this is a huge shock to the entire community.” Hanlin has been vocal in opposing state and federal gun control legislation. He told a legislative committee in March that a background check mandate wouldn’t prevent criminals from getting firearms.

He said the state should combat gun violence by cracking down on convicted criminals found with guns, and by addressing people with unmanaged mental health issues.

Hanlin also sent a letter to Vice President Biden in 2013, after the shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school.

Hanlin said he and his deputies would refuse to enforce new guncontrol restrictions “offending the constitutional rights of my citizens.”

The new rules would restrict ozone production to 70 parts per billion, lower than the current 75 parts per billion but at the higher end of options considered by the

Environmental Protection Agency. The American Lung Association and other groups had urged the EPA to go as low 60 parts per billion.

The rules are designed to “protect people’s health as well as the environment,” said Gina McCarthy, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that a nuclear deal with Iran will give the Islamic Republic money to expand terror networks and threaten the rest of the world.

While Israel stands ready to defend itself, the global community must ensure Iran meets its obligations under the agreement, Netanyahu said.

“Make sure that inspectors actually inspect. Make sure the snapback sanctions actually snap back. And make sure that Iran’s violations aren’t swept under the Persian rug,” he said in a speech before the 70th United Nations General Assembly in New York City. “Keep Iran’s feet to the fire.”

OFFICIALS: AFGHAN TROOPS RETAKE CITY Taliban battles on despite government claims about Kunduz Jane Onyanga-Omara and Jim Michaels USA TODAY

Government forces retook Kunduz and were mopping up pockets of Taliban resistance in the beleaguered northern city, Afghan officials said Thursday.

President Ashraf Ghani praised his forces, which launched a final six-hour assault that drove Taliban militants from the city. He said no Afghan troops were killed.

But heavy street battles were still taking place Thursday, raising questions about the government’s claims and highlighting

the uncertainty of the situation.

“Small guerrilla forces remain in various neighborhoods. We have to clear all the surrounding areas and open transport links so people can come and go,” Defense Minister Masoom Stanekzai said, according to the Associated Press.

The collapse of Kunduz on Monday was a blow to the Afghan government, which hadn’t lost a major city to the Taliban since the militants were driven from power in 2001 by a U.S.-led coalition. Ghani’s office said the government would investigate how the city fell.

The coalition has launched eight airstrikes over the past several days, and U.S. Special Forces troops returned fire when they came under attack Thursday in Kunduz, but the bulk of the fighting was carried out by Afghan forces, government and coalition

Afghan troops gather near an airport while fighting Taliban militants Thursday in the northern city of Kunduz.

On German reunification day, some feel Cold War nostalgia

officials said.

The coalition has characterized the airstrikes as defensive, in order to protect coalition personnel.

“Afghan Security Forces have full responsibility for their operations in Kunduz,” said Col. Brian Tribus, a coalition spokesman in Kabul.

Afghan commandos, who have been extensively trained by U.S. Special Forces, were part of the battle in Kunduz.

They are considered among the best trained special forces troops in the region and may have been the reason the city was recaptured so quickly.

Sediq Sediqqi, a spokesperson for Afghanistan’s interior minister, said, “This is a huge blow for the Taliban. It proves Afghan special forces are elite fighters who can win battles,” according to the BBC.

Clinton’s lead over Sanders shrinks Susan Page and Paulina Firozi USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton continues to lead the Democratic field in a USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll, but she no longer commands the support of a majority of Democrats as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Vice President Biden gain ground.

Clinton is backed by 41% of likely Democratic primary voters, a double-digit drop since the USA TODAY poll taken two months ago, and Sanders is supported by 23%, a jump. Biden is the choice of 20% even though he hasn’t said whether he will jump in the race.

By nearly 3-1, those surveyed in the national poll predict the controversy over her exclusive use of a private email server when she was secretary of State would hurt her prospects in a general election.

The poll of 1,000 likely voters, taken by phone Sept. 24-28, has a margin of error of +/-3 percentage points. For the sample of 430 Democrats, it is +/-5 points.

Clinton’s challenges are clear.

In July, her favorable-unfavorable rating was narrowly negative, at 43%-47%. That gap has grown to 39%-51%.

Sanders has a 37%-33% favorable-unfavorable rating, and Biden’s rating is 51%-35%.

BERLIN Each day, Bianca Schähler is surrounded by a rare form of nostalgia called Ostalgie that includes socialist chocolate bars, pickled comfort foods and Cold War-era bath towels.

Schähler, 59, manages Ostpaket, a store that sells household products, non-perishable foods, rose-tinted brands and, by extension, ways of living, from a time discarded a quarter-century ago when East and West Germany were reunited. “Our aim is to keep the culture alive and to help people realize that not everything from that time was bad,” said Schähler, who is from Thüringen, a small and sparsely populated former Eastern German state.

Saturday, Germany will commemorate its Day of Unity to mark the 25th anniversary of the unification of East and West Germany. The national ceremony to be held in Frankfurt will include German Chancellor Angela Merkel (who was raised in East Germany), President Joachim Gaucker, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and other European dignitaries.

“Our aim is to keep the culture alive and to help people realize that not everything from that time was bad.”

Bianca Schähler

On Oct. 3, 1990, the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany ended 45 years of post-World War II division and near total separation to become a single country. The Berlin Wall had fallen less than a year earlier, a dissolution that immediately — within 48 hours — saw 2 million people pour into the Western-friendly West from the communist-supported East.

Since then, a unified Germany has become a driving force in the European Union, as well as the region’s largest and most powerful economic and political voice.

In recent months, Germany was a leader on the world stage over Greece’s debt situation and Europe’s swelling migrant crisis.

Germany has offered to take in

large numbers of Syrian and other refugees on a scale matched only by similarly left-leaning and liberal Sweden.

There used to be considerable differences between the East and West: in life expectancy, productivity, joblessness, wages, skills, politics and access to goods.

The economies of Germany’s eastern states are relatively weak compared with those in the western part of the country — where banks, carmakers and other major employers have their headquarters — but those gaps have steadily closed. As has the perception of any marked differences between the people of these previously distinct countries.

Felix Mihram, 37, is a West German whose mother was separated from her parents in East Germany at the age of 16 when the Berlin Wall went up in August 1961. He said people from the East are still characterized as less educated, less open-minded and less economically able than their counterparts in the West.

“But there is basically no difference now,” he said. “And if there is, it’s more about whether you come from a city or the countryside, not whether you come from the East or West.”

Nefertiti may be nestled in King Tut’s tomb Jacob Wirtschafter Special for USA TODAY

Archaeologists in Egypt said Thursday they could be on the brink of answering one of the oldest questions about one of the world’s oldest civilizations.

The discovery of two secret chambers in King Tutankhamen’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings at Luxor caused researchers to speculate it could contain the long-sought resting place of Queen Nefertiti.

“We are likely on the verge of the discovery matching that of King Tut’s tomb,” Egyptian Antiquities Minister Mamdouh alDamaty said Thursday at a news conference.

Frescoes on the north and west walls of Tutankhamen’s tomb cover the two doorways to the secret chambers. University of Arizona Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves said he discovered the outlines of doorways under the frescoes’ paint and plaster using CAIRO

King Tutankhamen’s sarcophagus is seen in his burial chamber at the Valley of the Kings, about 300 miles south of Cairo. high-resolution digital scans.

“This is a conclusion based upon completely new evidence yielded by a technology to which

previous generations had no access — the digital scanning of surfaces,” Reeves said at the news conference. “More extraordinary

still, it looks as if one of these doorways may lead to the burial of Nefertiti herself.”

He said the scans bolster those who believe Nefertiti became a rare female pharaoh. A longtime proponent of that theory, Reeves said he believes Tutankhamen’s death mask and other funerary objects could have been originally designed for Nefertiti.

King Tut’s mask, for example, has ear piercings, suggesting whoever wore it also wore earrings. Young men during Tutankhamen’s era didn’t wear earrings, Reeves said.

Tutankhamen’s tomb has perplexed scholars because it’s not as large as other pharaoh’s tombs.

He was called the “boy king” because he died around age 19 after nine years on the throne. Reeves and others speculate Tut shared Nefertiti’s tomb because of a lack of alternatives.

Egyptologists continue to debate whether Nefertiti became a pharaoh herself under the name Smenkhkare.

Davis, who spent five days in jail for defying a series of federal court orders — and met with Pope Francis when he visited the U.S. last week — alleges that Beshear, a Democrat, “usurped control of Kentucky marriage law” and violated her religious freedom by asking clerks to comply with a U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized gay marriage nationwide.

“Simply stated, Davis’ role is a legal one — not a moral or religious one,” Beshear’s attorneys wrote in a court document filed Tuesday asking a judge to throw out the suit.

Davis’s action, filed in August in U.S. District Court, contends the governor “took it upon himself ... to set and announce new Kentucky marriage license policies and command county clerks to abide by such policies.” The suit claims Beshear’s action had the effect of “specifically targeting clerks like Davis who possess certain religious

In late June, when the Supreme Court announced its ruling, Beshear sent a letter to the state’s 120 county clerks to spell out how the state intended to react.

But Davis, a Democrat who switched to the Republican Party as the dispute intensified, refused to issue licenses, saying it violated her religious beliefs, and she blames Beshear’s letter for her legal troubles.

After four couples sued her, she ignored a series of federal court orders, continued turning couples away and spent five nights in jail for her defiance.

The Boston Globe reported. Cummings was fired after allegedly kicking and repeatedly swearing at a police secretary, and allegedly calling a pregnant officer fat.

Palmer G. Vance, a lawyer retained by the governor, described Davis’ suit as a “meritless assault on the rule of law.” Even if Beshear had not instructed clerks to follow the law, the Supreme Court and subsequent court orders required her to do so, he wrote.

“At issue here are marriage licenses issued by the Office of Rowan County Clerk and not Kim Davis individually, as Kim Davis individually has no authority to issue such licenses,” he wrote. “The Office of Rowan County Clerk does not have a right to free exercise of religion.”

The North American food company also said it would move its headquarters from Omaha to Chicago. The moves are part of a restructuring the company says should result in roughly $200 million in savings, and another $100 million in cost efficiencies.

An index of factory activity slipped to 50.2% from 51.1% the previous month, lowest since May 2013, the Institute for Supply Management said Thursday. A reading above 50 means the sector is expanding. In September, of 18 sectors, only seven reported growth, including printing, textiles, furniture and paper products.

whether prices rise or fall.

At the start of the year, the 17 strategists polled by Bloomberg had an average year-end price target of 2225, which equated to an 8.1% gain over the 2014 close of 2058.90.

At its closing high this year, the S&P 500 hit 2130.82, shy of the full-year bullish predictions.

The average 2015 price target now is down to 2171. The S&P 500 was trading around 1921 Thursday afternoon, putting it 13% away from the new, lower

projection.

Things changed for the worse in August. China’s stock market basically crashed. Fears about China’s slowing economy caused a global “growth scare.”

The Federal Reserve said it was ready to hike interest rates for the first time in nearly 10 years but last month failed to pull the trigger, creating confusion and uncertainty.

As a result, anxiety picked up and the U.S. stock market got caught up in the fear trade, suffering its first 10% price correction in four years.

Since the stock swoon began in August, one by one, many of the market strategists started to lower their year-end targets. In late August, J.P. Morgan took down its numbers. So did Morgan Stanley.

In early September, Bank of America slashed its 2015 price target. The cuts continued this week, with strategists at Canaccord, RBC and Goldman Sachs all ratcheting down their expected gains for the year.

All told, nine of the 17 stock strategists, or more than half, polled by Bloomberg at the start of the year have lowered their price targets. Two of Wall Street’s biggest bulls are among the bulls pulling in their horns. Monday, Tony Dwyer of Canaccord slashed his original year-end target of 2340 (or a projected annual gain of nearly 14%) down to 2150 (or a more modest gain of 4.4%).

Jonathan Golub of RBC slashed his target to 2100 from 2325.

Embattled Volkswagen is in the slow lane when it comes to sales. Sales of Volkswagen brand vehicles in the U.S. rose 1% in September, compared to the same month a year earlier. The brand badly trailed industry competitors, with overall industry sales up 16% for the month, according to Autodata Corp.

Volkswagen’s emission violations look to have affected Volkswagen sales for only the final third of the month. What’s more, consumer-sentiment surveys suggest Volkswagen’s image has suffered a serious blow.

Just two in 10 U.S. vehicle owners have a favorable opinion of the automaker, according to a recent online AutoPacific survey.

Seven in 10 said they had a favorable opinion of the brand before the scandal erupted. Some 64% of vehicle owners said they don’t trust Volkswagen now.

The automaker’s Audi brand posted a 16% increase, indicating the luxury lineup may be maintaining momentum even though one of its vehicles, the diesel A3, was involved in the scandal.

PAUL J. RICHARDS, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

VW faces a serious trust issue.

Volkswagen spent the last third of September embroiled in a scandal over manipulative software installed on diesel cars to trick the government into believing the vehicles were compliant with emissions regulations.

Volkswagen has already set aside more than $7 billion to fix cars and pay penalties. The scandal led to the exit of the company’s CEO and a shakeup in VW’s global corporate structure.

Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn and the EPA are both scheduled to testify during an Oct. 8 House subcommittee investigation.

New ‘chip and PIN’ cards often skip PIN step U.S. consumers must get used to dipping rather than swiping

HOW WILL YOU KNOW?

Charisse Jones @charissejones USA TODAY

With all the hoopla over the phase-in of “chip and PIN” cards in the U.S., many consumers lucky enough to have received their new credit cards are wondering what their PINs are.

Well, chances are they probably don’t have one.

Though many countries overseas have preferred the punching in of a PIN to complete transactions, most of the new chip, or EMV, equipped credit cards being sent out to U.S. consumers will not. That’s because in the U.S., when it comes to confirming who they are, a signature, instead of a PIN, will in most cases suffice.

Unlike debit cards, “for credit cards today, it’s not common to use a PIN, so most cards in the U.S. are staying the same way,

Chip-enabled debit and credit cards are the latest weapon in the fight against fraud. supporting a signature,” or in some cases no card holder verification, says Stephanie Ericksen, vice president of risk products for Visa. Often they are purchases of $25 or less at coffee shops or restaurants, or $50 or less at grocery stores.

The bigger change is that consumers are switching from credit and debit cards with a magnetic stripe to those that utilize a chip to generate a unique code with every transaction. That makes it tougher to churn out fake cards for future fraudulent purchases.

VISA

“We’re the only country where the banks are taking only a half step, implementing chip and signature rather than chip and PIN,” says Jason Brewer, a spokesman for the Retail Industry Leaders Association, which represents roughly 200 national retailers and product suppliers.

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

The last jobs report, on the eve of Labor Day weekend, was billed by many as the most important reading on the health of the U.S. employment market since before the invention of the automobile.

(Well, maybe that’s an exageration, but the August jobs report was viewed as critical at the time, as it came just two weeks before the Fed’s now infamous September policy meeting — the one where they were supposed to hike interest rates for the first time in 2006, but opted not to.

That decision thrust Wall Street into an uncertain state that still continues today.)

That’s not to say the September jobs report, set for release at 8:30 a.m. ET Friday, is not impor-

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

tant. It most certainly is. The health of the U.S. job market remains one of the two key pillars of the Fed’s dual mandate, which is getting back to full employment and getting pesky low inflation back near the Fed’s 2% band.

On this “Jobs Friday,” Wall Street is forecasting that the economy created 200,000 new jobs, up from the disappointing 173,000 in August. That weak jobs report, coupled with financial turbulence around the globe and a global slowdown, were cited as reasons why the Fed opted not to hike rates.

The takeaway Friday will be whether the job market was able to hold up and withstand all the negativity caused by China’s economic swoon.

If the jobs count is north of 200,000, it gives the Fed cover to hike rates by the end of the year, as they say they plan to do.

After five years of steadily falling unemployment and job growth of more than 200,000 a month in recent quarters, some economists say both are poised to slow as the U.S. enters an election year.

Tighter labor markets will soon start boosting wages, raising inflation and causing the Federal Reserve to finally lift interest rates after a decade, some argue.

Others disagree, saying there is still plenty of room for growth af-

ter a weak recovery from the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009.

For now, economists predict the Labor Department on Friday will report another solid gain of 203,000 jobs in September. The unemployment rate, which has tumbled to 5.1% from 10% in 2009, is expected to remain flat.

Some economists say that’s about as good as it will get.

“We’re very close to full employment,” said Paul Ashworth at Capital Economics. Daniel Silver at JPMorgan Chase, expects monthly payroll growth to slow to 180,000 in the fourth quarter and to 150,000 in 2016.

A tighter supply of workers could soon begin to nudge up wage growth that has been stuck at or slightly above a sluggish 2% annual pace for most of the recovery. It also could stir inflation concerns and prompt the Fed to raise interest rates sooner rather than later.

In a speech last week, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said labor market “slack” that’s not reflected in the unemployment rate is keeping wage growth and inflation low. Such slack includes unusually high numbers of both discouraged workers who have stopped looking for jobs and part-

Following the stock market crowd up to you Q: Can Twitter help investors?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Even if you don’t want Twitter stock in your portfolio, the service can be a useful tool for investors. The key is understanding how to glean insights from the non-stop stream of musings.

When Twitter launched, it was a great place to find out what your friends were eating for lunch. But as the microblogging site has matured, investors have turned to the system as a decent proxy for what the crowd is feeling about stocks and markets. Even large investment firms are building systems to mine the deluge of stock and market data from Twitter. Luckily, there are ways to strip away annoying and needless information to get to some potentially useful insights.

The best place to start — if you’re curious about getting market data from Twitter — is with your brokerage. Some online brokerage firms are baking in social media tools that pull in data from Twitter. TD Ameritrade, for instance, has a “social signals” tab on its website that checks Twitter so you don’t have to.

The service tells you which company products are being talked about and whether tweets are generally positive or negative toward the company.

Another useful source is Market Prophit, a site that analyzes Twitter to tell you what the crowd is thinking.

Whether you want to follow the crowd is up you.

timers who prefer full-time jobs.

In August, 624,000 discouraged workers had not looked for a job the past four weeks but wanted one.

That’s nearly double the prerecession level in 2007 but down from 1.1 million in 2011.

Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, estimated only about 300,000 of those workers will be absorbed back into the labor force. Others likely lack the skills for today’s job vacancies, he said.

There were also about 6.5 million part-time workers who prefer full-time jobs in August, below

the 9.2 million such workers in 2010 but still above the pre-recession level of 4.6 million. Those workers also help temper wage growth, because they allow employers to convert them to fulltime status rather than raise pay.

But some economists say the elevated ranks of those workers reflect structural changes in the labor market.

For example, many employers have chosen to hire more parttimers to avoid coverage requirements under the new health law, says Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.

Janet Jackson has returned, and she’s ‘Unbreakable’ JANET JACKSON Unbreakable

Janet Jackson’s new album Unbreakable, out Friday, is her first since 2008.

eeeE

R&B DOWNLOAD Unbreakable, Shoulda Known Better, Take Me Away.

It’s been nearly 30 years since Janet Jackson established Control.

With that 1986 album, and followups Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989) and janet. (1993), Michael Jackson’s kid sister not only forged her own creative identity, but also surpassed her brother as a commercial and cultural force.

If Janet lacked Michael’s dizzying gifts as a musical visionary, the songs she crafted with longtime collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis proved similarly vital; and the confidence she exuded influenced a generation of female pop and R&B artists — and the young women and girls listening.

Jackson is 49 now, and hasn’t released a studio album since 2008’s misguided Discipline. Happily, Unbreakable, out Friday, provides a convincing showcase for Jackson’s gifts and her growth.

Some of the more contemplative tunes on Unbreakable can seem static. The sleepy After You Fall suggests Jackson’s old hit Again without the textural vibrance. Broken Hearts Heal teases us with jazz accents but wears out its crisp, easy groove.

There are affecting surprises,

COURTESY OF BMG

though, such as the folky, poignant Lessons Learned; and exuberance, from the brightly infectious title track to Take Me Away, with its ebullient waves of synth and sudden bursts of electric guitar. Jackson brings on the funk for the breathless BURNITUP!, with Missy Elliott, and the joyful retro-soul workout Gon’ B Alright.

Jackson’s voice sounds a little duskier now, and at its most quavering encourages comparisons to Michael’s even more than it did in MORE MUSIC REVIEWS LIFE.USATODAY.COM

her youth. Whether riding a blithe groove on Take Me Away or pleading that “hate will only divide” on The Great Forever, she wields the shivery vibrato that emphasizes her shared DNA. Of course, Jackson is long past the point where such comparisons are an issue. “I’ve come a long way / Got a long way to go,” she sings in the anthemic Well-Traveled, a summation of the album’s themes of compassion and inclusion. With Unbreakable, Jackson, already a proven survivor — of both her family’s well-publicized struggles and decades of changing trends in pop music and culture — gives us no reason to doubt that people will keep watching, and listening.

hometownlawrence.com Lawrence home sales increase for sixth straight month

By Liz WesLander

Hometown Lawrence

Home sales rose 17.8 percent in August, marking the sixth consecutive month of increased sales for the Lawrence real estate market.

A total of 106 units sold in Lawrence in August 2015, up from the 90 units sold in 2014.

Among existing homes, 95 units sold in August, an increase of 17.3 percent from 81 units that sold in 2014. The average sale price of existing homes was $191,572. This represents an increase of 1.5 percent from the August 2014 average price of $188,662.

For new construction, 11 sales occurred in August, up from nine units the prior year, an increase of 22.2 percent.

The average sale price of new homes in August was $291,790, down 0.7 percent from the same period last year.

While sales were strong in August, both the total number of contracts and the inventory of active listings were down.

Seventy-one contracts were written last month compared to 84 in August 2014 – a drop of 15.5 percent. Contracts written during the month reflect, in part, sales that will close in the near future, and can sometimes indicate what sales will look like in the upcoming month.

“Inventory levels continue to be a concern and may very well be the lone reason for a decrease in the number of contracts

written during August,” said Crystal Swearingen, President of the Lawrence Board of Realtors.

“Lower inventory levels can also cause upward pressure on prices.”

The inventory of active listings in the City of Lawrence stood at 322 units at the end of August, which is down from 414 homes that were on the market at the end of August last year. At the current rate of sales, this figure represents three months’ supply of homes on the market.

Swearingen said that the upside of low inventory is that current home sellers are benefitting from less competition and homes that are on the market are selling more

a well-priced home in great condition will attract buyers in almost any market,” — Crystal Swearingen, president of the Lawrence Board of Realtors

quickly. The average number of days on the market for homes in 2015 in the Lawrence area was 55 days as of Sept. 1, which is 20 percent lower than the same date last year.

“All this being said, a wellpriced home in great condition will attract buyers in almost

any market, and unfortunately not even the best of markets can help a poorly priced home in poor condition appear desirable,” said Swearingen.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have always been careful with our money, eating out perhaps once a month. We are easily entertained at home. His parents, who have now passed on, lived like paupers.

However, upon their passing, they were able to distribute a lot of their wealth to their two sons and five grandkids. The money allowed us to pay off our mortgage and buy some stocks.

My parents, on the other hand, have blown through retirement payouts and the reverse mortgage they took out on their home. My mom has always demanded the best, whether it is fine linens or a pair of jeans. It is beneath her to shop at a discount store. I now face their failing health and am angry about their poor

planning. Whatever extra money my husband and I have came from his parents’ estate, and I agree with him that this money should not be spent on my parents.

Am I a bad daughter not to help them financially? They dug their own hole. My dad won’t even file the paperwork for being a veteran. Having them live with us is not an option. My mother’s saying is, “The Lord will provide.” I think the Lord will provide a

‘Dr. Ken’ no prescription for boredom ABC has paired its new sitcom “Dr. Ken” (7:30 p.m., ABC) with Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing.” And it’s easy to see why. Both comedies lean heavily on the notion that the male patriarch, once the undisputed authority in every household, has become a bit of a joke.

If only the joke was funny.

Tonight, “Dr. Ken” stars Ken Jeong, the actor, comedian and real doctor as a TV doctor who gets little respect. Jeong went to medical school b e f o r e hanging up his stethoscope for comedy and acting.

His most notable appearances including “Knocked Up,” ‘‘The Hangover” and “Community.”

Here, he’s a loving, if awkward husband, forever slipping crass and not-terribly-clever innuendo into conversations with his therapist wife, Allison (Suzy Nakamura). He worries that his teenage daughter, Molly (Krista Marie Yu), has grown up too quickly and that his mimeloving son, Dave (Albert Tsai), may never man up.

Nearly everything about this series has a borrowed and dated feel about it. Ken’s insistence that he’s not like his traditional Korean parents is at least as old as “All American Girl,” the Margaret Cho comedy from 1994. “Fresh Off the Boat” also works these themes of assimilation and authority to better effect. And that show is set in the 1990s. Foley makes the most of his creepy corporate flunky routine, but may remind some of Gary Cole’s turn in the movie “Office Space” (7 p.m., Encore) from way back in 1999.

It’s a good thing Jeong is a real physician in real life. I don’t see this ersatz job lasting too long.

Some 46 years ago, on Oct. 7, 1969, an unknown group of remarkably talented youth released the single “I Want You Back.” The Jackson 5 were launched, and pop music would never be the same.

Now, Lifetime presents the docu-series “The Jacksons: Next Generation” (9 p.m., Lifetime) following offspring Taj, Taryll and TJ as they wrestle with their famous name and legacy.

So the question remains: Do we want them back?

Tonight’s other highlights

A trip to Argentina unfolds

on “The Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS).

A new take on hummus on “Shark Tank” (8 p.m., ABC).

Danny gets a message from a serial killer on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS).

The “POV” documentary “Ai Weiwei: The Fake Case” (9 p.m., PBS) shows how the Chinese government’s efforts to censor the artist have earned him international recognition and acclaim.

A greenhouse may hold a cure on “Z Nation” (9 p.m., Syfy).

What do you say? — Not Their Savior Dear Not: You do not have to use your in-laws’ money to provide for your profligate parents. Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean you should abandon them altogether. If Dad needs help (or encouragement) to fill out forms, surely you can do that for him. You might also offer financial advice, helping them take steps to put away any remaining income. But you are fortunate that there are facilities that will accept and care for your parents when they are infirm and run out of money, and you can visit often.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Oct. 2: This year you seem to make the right choices, as you have the ability to detach from situations and imagine what it is like to be someone else. You will greet unusual success. If you are single, you could meet someone very different from you. If you are attached, the two of you might plan that special trip.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You have a lot of energy when it comes to communicating with others. Tonight: Out and about.

I have seen her do this in fine restaurants and I cringe every time.

How can I tell her how crude this is without offending her? — Anonymous Dear Anonymous: Correcting another adult’s manners is problematic. Being able to do so without offense depends upon your friend’s sense of humor and willingness to accept criticism. You can say, “Judy, aren’t you afraid you will cut your tongue doing that?

Please stop, for my sake.

I cringe every time for fear there will be blood.”

But if you don’t think she will be amenable, we recommend you grit your teeth and ignore it.

KANSAS BASKETBALL MEDIA DAY

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

‘Svi’ no longer new kid in town Kansas University basketball media day, 2014: The youngest college basketball player in the nation sat on his assigned chair — eyes a little wide, expression on the reserved side — doing his best to answer the questions sent his way.

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk looked 17, which he was.

And his vibe was that of the new kid dropped in the middle of a grade-school classroom in mid-year, surrounded by students who all knew each other, spoke with the same accent, rooted for the same baseball team, knew where to find the best hot dog in town.

He was a boy in a strange land surrounded by strangers.

The man seated courtside Thursday afternoon bore little resemblance to the boy from a year ago. He’s at home in Lawrence now.

“I love friends here,” he said. “I love food. I love food. I love people. I love school. I love everything over here.”

He turned the clock back a year and opened a window into what the 17-yearold boy was feeling.

“I’m not American,” he said. “It was new country for me. New language. New team. New system. New coach. It was not like for American guys who have been here all their life, playing AAU, high school, watching NCAA basketball, so they kind of know what to expect.”

Freshmen of all backgrounds tend to compile poor shooting statistics for a variety of reasons. Mykhailiuk was no exception. He appeared in 26 games, averaged 11 minutes and shot .306 from the field, .288 from three. He showed his soft touch at the free-throw line (.833) and in warmups. Getting accustomed to the speed of the game, knowing a good shot from a bad one, and generally feeling more comfortable, all should make for a better shooting year for the sophomore from Ukraine.

“I’ve been here for a year,” Svi said. “I feel more confident. I think my shot’s going to be good this year.

We’ll see.”

He has added 17 pounds of muscle, which ought to help him maintain balance when being shoved cutting or driving to the hoop.

“I think it will help me on defense, too,” he said. “I can be more physical, stronger. On offense, I go inside more and make shots with contact.”

Svi said he would like to shoot “39 or 40 percent” from three.

Naturally, he shoots a way higher percentage than that when spot-shooting, being fed the ball by a rebounder and moving from spot to spot along the threepoint semicircle.

“Working out with him this summer, getting in the gym shooting with him, he shoots the ball like crazy,” Devonté Graham said. “He

Diallo ‘thrilled’ to be back on court

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Cheick Diallo, the media learned Thursday, likes to talk about his lifelong love of soccer and dislikes discussing more depressing topics — like his ongoing basketball eligibility case with the NCAA. “When I was young, we played soccer every day. We started at 10 in the morning, go eat lunch and come back and play again 5 to 9 (p.m.).

Every day, no days off, even Sunday,” said Diallo, Kansas University’s 6-foot9 freshman forward from Mali.

The popular KU Media Day interviewee started playing Diallo soccer at the age of 5. Defense and goalie were his main assignments.

“It helped me a lot, like my

footwork,” stated Diallo, who started playing basketball in 2010 when his dad, Mamadou Diallo, figured hoops might be a natural fit for his son, who was going through a growth spurt.

“I don’t get tired. Playing soccer when I was younger ... I think that’s helping me now,” Cheick added.

Cheick Diallo, who came to the USA in 2011 and toiled four seasons for Our Savior New American in Centereach, New York, was cleared

(by the NCAA) to practice with his new college teammates Wednesday. He had a somewhat shaky workout — “I got the flu on Sunday, and it was hard to breathe like normal,” he explained — but was thrilled to just be on the court.

“I was so excited yesterday,” said Diallo, who has not yet been deemed eligible for participation in games by the NCAA Eligibility Center.

FSHS fourth, LHS 10th at league tennis

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Prairie Village — Free State High’s doubles tandems of Caitlin and Ali Dodd and Rachel Walters and Andrea Chen each placed in the top 10 to fuel the Firebirds to finish fourth as a team Thursday at the Sunflower League girls tennis tournament at Harmon Park.

The Dodd sisters went 2-2 after receiving a first-

round bye to take fourth place, while Walters and Chen fought through the back side of the bracket to finish ninth.

The Dodds’ losses came to eventual league champions Joie Freidrich and Lucy Kendall of Shawnee Mission East, and in the third-place match to SM Northwest’s Colleen Freeman and Lexy Drummond.

“I feel like both of us were a lot more aggressive at the net, which we’ve been work-

ing on that, so it was really good to see that outcome,” Ali said. “I just feel like our ground strokes were overall pretty solid.”

Caitlin echoed her younger sister’s comments on the strides the two have made with their play at the net.

“Last year, that was probably our biggest weakness,” Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo Caitlin said of playing at the net. “Just that compared to FREE STATE HIGH’S KALIA FOWLER HITS A this year, you can really see FOREHAND to Lawrence High’s Payton Smith in their Sunflower League singles match Thursday Please see TENNIS, page 3C in Prairie Village.

More than ever before, Lawrence High’s football team is focusing on special teams in practice this season. The early results are impressive.

The Lions (4-0, ranked No. 3 in Class 6A by kpreps. com) have blocked three punts, recovered a fumbled snap on a punt and haven’t allowed any long kickoff or punt returns. With a potent Please see KEEGAN, page 10C offense and strong defense,

FSHS soccer clips Vikings, 2-1

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Frustrated all night by near-misses on several shot attempts, Free State High’s boys soccer team scored two goals in the final six minutes for a 2-1 comeback victory over Shawnee Mission West on Thursday at FSHS. The Firebirds outshot the Vikings, 19-6, but struggled to score for the first 74 minutes.

That changed when Free State senior midfielder Will Laufer passed a through ball to junior Cooper Moreano, who

game, thinking that you’re going to win.”

The Firebirds (1-3) have some extra confidence after earning their first win of the season last week in a 43-7 rout at Leavenworth. The FSHS defense only allowed 131 total yards and five first downs.

Tonight’s game has special meaning for junior linebacker Jay Dineen, who left last year’s game against the Lancers on crutches after suffering a leg injury.

“They’re on a 17-game win streak, and to be the team to ruin that would be real nice,” Dineen said. “I think we do have a chance. They’re high schoolers just like us.

We do have a good team, and a lot of people don’t know that because of our record, but I think we’re a lot better than a lot of people think.”

“We (coaches) put our heads together and decided we were going to make a huge commitment on special teams,” Wedd said. “We probably spend 15 minutes a day more than we have in the past, which is a lot when you talk about a two-hour practice.”

Two of the blocked punts this season were returned for touchdowns, both by junior Erik Shackelford.

“I got We l u c k y , ” (coaches) Shackelford said. put our “I guess it heads was right together time, right and deplace.

was a step behind the defense and fired a shot past SM West goalkeeper Angel Cruz with 6:24 left in the second half.

“It was huge because, I mean, we had a good 10 opportunities that we should have put away or at least had a decent shot at putting away,” Moreano said. “Then, I felt like right when we got the first one in that another one was coming because we had all the momentum, and we were dominating them already.”

The Firebirds struck four minutes later when

freshman midfielder Rowan Laufer found junior forward Branden Patterson for a breakaway opportunity. Patterson had a couple of opportunities earlier, but had one shot deflected by the goalie and another went wide left.

“Rowan got the ball in the back,” Patterson said.

“I guess he kind of saw my run coming across.

He split the two center backs, and I was through — wide-open, no one on me or anything. The goalkeeper was in front of me, but I just curled (the shot) around him.”

The Lancers (4-0) are tough to stop with their flexbone, no-huddle offense featuring five linemen, three running backs and dual-threat quarterback, Luke Kaiser. SM East running backs Wyatt Edmisten, Jack Tyler and Karl Young have helped the Lancers score more than 40 points in each game this year.

“We haven’t faced an offense that runs this scheme and runs it this well,” FSHS coach Bob Lisher said. “It’s hard to replicate that in practice.

So our guys are going to have to do a great job in film study.”

Despite the challenges, the Firebirds are excited to see how they stack up against the best.

“That’s why you play this game. You’re going to have challenges and we won’t have one during the regular season as big as this one,” Lisher said.

“Our kids understand the challenge. We’ve been playing better. Will we play good enough to get them? We’ll find out.”

RB Moore out several weeks The Lions will likely be without junior running back Trey Moore for the remainder of the regular season after he suffered a fractured scapula in his left shoulder in last week’s victory over SM Northwest.

Moore sustained the injury when he was tackled near the LHS sideline during the third quarter. He finished with 96 yards on six carries last week. tle bit off. Then I just ran right through the guy and blocked it.”

Shackelford added: “I just see Amani — I thought he was going to kill the punter. He was all up in his face. Then I see the ball, and I just took off full speed to the ball. I was going to dive, but I heard coaches saying, ‘Pick it up.’ Luckily, I didn’t step out of bounds.”

Each area of special teams is run by a different assistant coach. Lyster is responsible for the punt team, Seth Homolka coaches punt return/ block, Chris Johnson leads the kickoff return, and Jamie Resseguie coaches the kickoff team, otherwise known as the bomb squad.

“It’s really caught fire,” Wedd said. “The kids fight to get on it. You can tell when you have your best football players on it, they’ve really bought into it.”

He hopes to return in five or six weeks, which would be around the start of the state playoffs, if the Lions advance.

“I didn’t know I really hurt it until I hit the ground weird,” said Moore, who has his left arm in a sling. “I just fell on my left shoulder, and it felt like it popped out of place, but it was worse than that.”

“It was a pretty spectacular fashion to win, but we should’ve had a few goals by then,” Patterson added.

The Vikings (3-8) scored in the 23rd minute when senior forward Magdiel Meza ripped a shot from inside the 18yard box past FSHS goalkeeper Jonathan Lesslie, who finished with three saves.

But the Firebirds (6-3) controlled the pace and tempo throughout the match with their crisp offense. Laufer and senior forward Eduardo Carballido Flores both sent

strong opportunities on net.

“When you’ve had so many chances in front of the goal, you’ve got to find a way to win that game,” FSHS coach Kelly Barah said. “We were really clicking on all cylinders in terms of the attacking side of the ball.

It was just that little foot to tap it into the goal that was kind of letting us down. We just knew it was going to take every single thing for us to find that win today.”

The Firebirds will play host to Shawnee Heights at 6:30 p.m. Monday.

Walters and Chen’s win over Shawnee Mission West was the final match of the day and brought Free State’s point total to 20, one more than Olathe East and Olathe South.

“I didn’t want to tell them (beforehand) that that match was pretty big-time,” FSHS coach Keith Pipkin said. “That was huge that they pulled that one off. Last match of the day, and they were still playing hard.”

Free State’s No. 1 singles player, Katie Piper, went 3-2, including backto-back victories after falling to league singles champ Josephine Cao of SM West.

“I kind of put myself down after that, but I realized that I had to get back up because she was such a good player and that I needed to learn from that and keep going to win more matches later on,” Piper said.

Kalia Fowler followed up Piper at No. 2 singles with a record of 2-2.

They had opportunities to do even better than they did.”

Both of Lawrence’s doubles tandems ran into Walters and Chen while they were on their hot streak through the consolation side of the bracket. Despite falling to Walters and Chen, 9-5, Cote enjoyed being able to compete against the crosstown Firebirds just two days removed from the City Showdown.

“This one was a weird one because she (Chen) is one of my best friends,” Cote said. “That was cool to be able to play her in a different but still friendly setting. It was a little more of a competitive setting than usual.”

Erin Ventura and Payton Smith went 1-2 and 0-2, respectively, for the Lions in singles.

Smith, Cote and Smoot battled injuries.

Smith and Free State’s Fowler met to open the day, and the LHS No. 2 singles player injured her wrist as she dove for a return shot. A few matches later, Smoot and Cote collided on the same court in almost the same spot.

Marshall admired how his players were able to push through their remaining matches, but he did not show any love for what seemed to be a cursed Court No. 7 for the Lions.

“It shows their characteristics that they wanted to keep playing and all that,” Marshall said. “I might avoid Court 7 from now on, though.”

Ailing Royals upend Chisox Chicago (ap) — Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost was sitting in his office in the visiting clubhouse when White Sox broadcaster Ken Harrelson walked in and offered him a lucky gold coin.

Yost accepted the present with a big grin. After all, he could use a little help with all of the Royals’ bumps and bruises.

Jonny Gomes drove in three runs, and the banged-up Royals moved into a tie with Toronto for the AL’s best record with a 6-4 victory over Chicago on Thursday.

Kansas City played without outfielders Lorenzo Cain and Alex Rios on a windy, cold night, and designated hitter Kendrys Morales (left quad tightness) and catcher Salvador Perez (swelling in right thumb) both departed during the game. Cain was sidelined by a sore right knee, and Rios was scratched because of a stiff back.

Yost used Ryan Madson in the ninth because he said closer Wade Davis had a bit of a stiff back. But he said none of the injuries were serious.

“They’re very trivial, day to day, probably overly cautious concerns,” he said. “I mean just trying to do the smart thing.”

Each of the achy players is day to day, and the AL Central champions held on for their second straight victory against the lowly White Sox. Kris Medlen (6-2) pitched six innings of two-run ball, and Madson earned his third save.

“Got into a good rhythm and just tried to repeat my delivery and everything,” Medlen said, “and it paid off.”

Kansas City (92-67) finishes the season with three games at Minnesota, while Toronto, which holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Royals, closes with a weekend series at Tampa Bay. John Danks dropped his third consecutive start as Chicago lost for the seventh time in nine games. The White Sox (74-85) went 7-12 against the Royals in 2015 and have lost the season series to Kansas City in each of the last five years.

Danks (7-15) was tagged for six runs and 11 hits — matching a season high — in five innings. The lefthander dropped to 10-3 with a 2.87 ERA in 22 career starts against the Royals.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Orioles stop Blue Jays Nationals 3, Braves 0 Atlanta — Clint Robinson hit a home run, and Stephen Strasburg continued his strong September to help Washington beat Atlanta.

Strasburg (11-7) allowed six hits and struck out seven in six innings.

In his final four starts of the season, he finished 3-0 with an 0.62 ERA. He had 44 strikeouts in 29 innings.

The Associated Press

American League Orioles 6, Blue Jays 4 Baltimore — Toronto extended the celebration of its first AL East title in 22 years, resting its starters Thursday in a rainmarred loss to Baltimore.

Manny Machado homered twice for the Orioles, who took a 3-0 lead in the first inning against Drew Hutchison (13-5) before the game was delayed for 3 hours, 25 minutes.

Although the Blue Jays are still dueling with Kansas City for the best record in the AL — a distinction that provides home-field advantage through the postseason — Toronto manager John Gibbons has placed a priority on keeping his players fresh.

Blue Jays ace David Price was scratched from his scheduled start. Slugging stars Jose Bautista, Josh Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion also sat out.

After Toronto clinched the division crown in the opener of a doubleheader Wednesday, Gibbons fielded a starting unit consisting entirely of reserves in the nightcap. He posted a similar lineup Thursday, in part because the Blue Jays had celebrated their division crown with champagne, beer and cigars late into the night.

Thursday’s game was originally slated to start at 7:05 p.m. but was moved up to 12:05 because of the threat of rain at night. As it turned out, the rain started early in the day and didn’t let up until around 4 p.m.

Attendance was announced at 18,257, but that was tickets sold.

At the outset, there was only a smattering of fans, mostly because of the dismal weather, the switch of the starting time and the Orioles’ late-season fade.

The Phillies lost 14 of 16 to the Mets before sweeping them in a three-game series for the first time since April 26-28, 2013, at Citi Field. Philadelphia needs to win one of its last three games against Miami to avoid losing 100 games for the first time since 1961.

Diamondbacks 8, Rockies 6 Phoenix — Welington Castillo had a go-ahead two run double with two out during Arizona’s four-run seventh inning.

Phil Gosselin hit an inside-the-park home run for Arizona with two away in the seventh to start Arizona’s rally. Replays appeared to show the ball clearing the yellow line on top of the leftfield wall and then bouncing back on the field. By the time left fielder Rafael Ynoa retrieved the ball and threw it back toward the infield, Gosselin was headed for home.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

L awrence J ournal -W orld

KU looking for a few good (D-line)men

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s football coaching staff knew entering Year One of a difficult rebuilding project the Jayhawks would have deficiencies in a number of areas this season. They thought — and hoped — defensive end would be one position KU could count on for depth and productivity.

Through three games, however, head coach David Beaty hasn’t seen the amount of sacks and tackles for loss he envisioned the defensive ends providing.

Senior captain Ben Goodman rarely has let Kansas down. His 3.5 sacks tie him with Kansas State’s Jordan Willis for the fourth-best mark in the Big 12, and Goodman’s 4.5 tackles for loss rank eighth in the conference.

But KU had just five sacks from its defense against three nonconference opponents. KU’s 1.67 sacks a game ranks eighth in the Big 12 — slightly ahead of West Virginia’s 1.33 and Texas Tech’s 0.75 — entering Saturday’s league opener at Iowa State (11 a.m. kickoff).

Ideally, KU wants its

defensive line creating pressure in the backfield so it doesn’t have to send a fifth or sixth defender and put young defensive backs on islands.

“Really, that group, I think they are taking it personally,” Beaty said of the defensive ends, coached by Calvin Thibodeaux. “They understand they have higher aspirations than what they have played with to this point. And for us to be to where we need to be, those guys got to continue to get better — just like the rest of them — but they really do.”

Defensive coordinator

Clint Bowen pointed out fourth-year juniors Anthony Olobia and Damani Mosby, former juniorcollege standouts who line up on the other end from Goodman, remain relatively inexperienced.

Obviously, the same goes for true freshman Dorance Armstrong, who hasn’t played as much.

So that’s one reason Olobia has four total tackles (none for negative yardage), Mosby has three tackles (one for a loss of 14 yards versus Memphis) and Armstrong one tackle (for a five-yard loss vs. South Dakota State).

Bowen thinks the learn-

ing curve has hit them particularly hard.

“You feel good about them in terms of spring ball and all of that, but BCS football, when it’s the real game, things change a little bit,” Bowen said. “And you’ve gotta realize those kids, they’ve played three BCS football games in their life, and it’s a different level. It’s a different level when the guy across from you is all the sudden 6-(foot)-8, 350 (pounds) and can move a little bit, as opposed to what you played against in the past.”

Beaty wants more production out of Olobia

and Mosby, in particular, because he isn’t satisfied with KU’s eight total tackles for loss. Defensive tackle Corey King has one and fellow senior DT Kapil Fletcher was credited with 0.5.

Goodman said all of KU’s defensive linemen need to make more “special” plays on running and passing downs.

“We definitely need more sacks and more production out of each of us,” the 6-3, 253-pound senior added, “because we haven’t gotten a win, and teams have been running the ball. So that starts up front.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S MEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM POSES FOR A HUMOROUS PHOTO during Media Day on Thursday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Diallo CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Coach Bill Self shed some light on that, indicating KU was gathering information to present to the NCAA on Diallo’s behalf, the decision obviously still a ways away.

“I don’t really know.

I don’t want to say anything — bad stuff now — that’s why I say I don’t want to talk about it. I just want to play this year. I’m focusing on practice now and doing what I’m supposed to do,” said Diallo, who will be allowed to play in next Friday’s Late Night in the Phog.

When asked by a third wave of reporters if he’s “frustrated” at the uncertainty, Diallo said: “Of course, but I cannot do anything about it. I’m not going to let it go like I want to quit, no. I just want to clear my mind and head.”

He politely asked the media to direct any questions about his case to his coach.

That was such a crazy number, I had to seek confirmation.

Forty-nine in a row?

“No,” Svi said. “It was 47.”

year’s McDonald’s and Jordan Brand Classic allstar contests, was asked point-blank (if he qualifies) how long he planned to stay in college.

“I mean, I cannot talk about anything now.

Maybe (it) can be four years,” the possible oneand-done talent said.

Asked if he is the top player in his recruiting class, Rivals.com’s No. 5-ranked player said: “If people are asking me ... yes, I am. I like to compare. I like to say I am the best ... I can say he is better than me, but if we play, everybody knows who is better. I can say I am the top player in the class, yes. I just feel like I am.”

Known as an energetic player, Diallo showed that hustle at practice Wednesday.

“He gets out there and goes hard. We had to tell him to calm down a little,” senior Jamari Traylor said with a smile, noting Diallo was a bit too active when defending senior Perry Ellis. “But it’s easier to tell someone to turn it down a notch than to turn it up a notch.”

A personal record, a crazy number. Do not challenge him to a game of kihb unless you enjoy losing.

Svi will compete for a chunk of the 120 perimeter minutes with small guards Frank Mason and Graham and wings Wayne Selden Jr., Brannen Greene and Lagerald Vick.

“We’ve kind of got a crowded house back there,” Kansas coach

As far as what he does well and what he needs to work on, Diallo responded, “Offense, that’s basically easy. I can score either way,” Diallo said. “I need to get more rebounds, more blocked shots.”

Self said he’ll enjoy working with the talented player.

“He’s 7-foot-5 with length, and there’s not too many guys out there plus-8 inches from height to length,” Self said. “He’s an athlete. He’s got a motor. But he doesn’t know how to play yet. Hopefully he’ll be a great rim protector. The other thing that he can do that has been surprisingly good for us is that he’s a good shooter. He’s much more skilled than what a lot of people give him credit for. So that’s exciting for us moving forward.”

Remember, Diallo is a still-developing basketball player. He’s born and bred in soccer, not hoops.

“I started at zero and have come to where I am now,” Diallo said. “I didn’t even like basketball. I thought it was a girls sport. In my country the only women’s (national)

team is (Mali’s) women’s team. Men’s team? No. After two weeks, I said I’ve got to quit, I’m not getting better. One day said I’d figure out how to play basketball. Every morning (it was) jump shot, layup, jumping, running. It’s helped me now.

People say I run fast.

That’s just natural. Now I just love to play. I want to play for a long time.”

But Svi potentially, starters, but I expect Svi a 10,000-meter time of I think from what NBA to challenge for a starting 30:43.5 at the Midwest people think, they think position and be, without regional, Landes knew he’s probably as good a question, if he doesn’t that he could achieve the prospect as we have in start, be as good as any same feat in 2014.

KU BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self was asked if dealing with player-eligibility cases has been “frustrating.” The Jayhawks are awaiting word from the NCAA Eligibility Center on Cheick Diallo’s status for the season.

“Yes, yes,” he said.

“It gets very frustrating.

It’s time-consuming and frustrating. But it’s not as much frustration for us as it is for the individual. I mean, you stop and think about an 18-year-old kid that he comes from Africa and been here for

31⁄2 years and does what he’s asked to do, and all of a sudden he’s got goals, he’s got dreams, he’s got all these things that are hinging on this, and find out that that may not ever come to be.

“There’s a lot of stress involved, a lot of stress, and, sure, we want to win games, but that’s not more important than what’s in the best interest of the young man. We’ve had other cases where this has happened, where it didn’t work out great for us or the youngster, i.e. Ben and

About Diallo: Diallo knows former KU center Joel Embiid of Cameroon.

“My sophomore year he was a senior. I was so excited to play against him.

I was getting buckets. I got 29 (points). He got 20 something, made a lot of points too.” Diallo said he and NBA player Embiid text each other often. ...

Diallo has sent equipment back to his youth team in Mali. “In my country, it’s different. A lot of people know how to play basketball, but don’t have stuff, shoes, sneakers, clothes.

They don’t have the stuff, and they all want to quit.

I figured out my whole team back home I’d bring a lot of stuff to them to support them.”

Rim Rock Farm, the home course for Kansas University’s cross country team, has its fair share of hills, valleys, twists and turns.

The terrain of the course has a symbolic meaning for two Jayhawk cross country runners, who are closing in on their return to KU’s home course Saturday for the Rim Rock Classic after sitting out the 2014 season due to nagging injuries.

Junior Hannah Richardson and senior Evan Landes earned all-region and All-Big 12 honors in 2013 before being sidelined, respectively, with mononucleosis and a sacral stress reaction for the 2014 season.

While Richardson and Landes nursed their injuries last season, many of their Jayhawk teammates experienced growing pains as the KU men’s and women’s teams were both among the youngest in the conference.

The two Jayhawk upperclassmen were healthy scratches along with other top runners from each team for KU’s seasonopening meet, the Bob Timmons Classic at Rim Rock on Sept. 1, but seeing an improved Kansas team has Landes eager to return.

“I was excited about (the Bob Timmons Classic),” Landes said. “I feel like we have a lot more depth than we’ve had in the past couple of years.

It’s great to see some of the younger guys out here holding down the fort.”

like the whole spring wasn’t going that great, so we just decided to kind of step back, get back to training and get back to being fit again.”

As Landes was on his road to recovery last year, his new teammate Jacob Morgan, who transferred in from Colorado State, broke onto the scene to lead the Jayhawk distance squad in cross country and track. The Topeka native was the lone Jayhawk to qualify for the NCAA cross country meet. He placed 91st overall with a 10,000-meter time of 31:29.

“Being more or less the front guy at the majority of the meets was frightening at first, but I got used to it,” Morgan said. “Now I’m (trying) to keep up there and working with Evan and trying to make sure that we’re both up there at the front being low sticks for the team, being positive role models for them.”

Richardson rolling While Landes was forced to miss all of track season as well as cross country, Richardson was able to compete in the spring, but her recovery from mononucleosis was not easy.

Richardson began to show symptoms of mono as the 2014 outdoor track season was winding down and eventually had to shut down t r a i n i n g Richardson for the remainder of the calendar year.

“It was really hard.

When I started running again, I was going like eight-minute (per mile) pace,” Richardson said.

“My runs were slow, and then he (Stanley Redwine) threw me into a couple of workouts and just told me to take it easy for a little bit. I did, but then all of a sudden we started hitting those workouts hard. Just trying to do the races and the workouts like a normal person was kind of rough because I didn’t have a lot of training under my belt.”

The fourth-year junior said she slept a lot from May to January. One of the main symptoms of mono is fatigue. Richardson felt rough while getting back into shape during indoor track season, but then went on to reach four personal bests in outdoor last spring. The Glendale, Missouri, native earned a trip to the NCAA Outdoor in the 1,500, and clocked a time of 4:29.75 to take 22nd place in the semifinal heat.

“I wasn’t expecting to go to nationals, but I wanted to bad enough to where I think I kind of willed myself to go to nationals,” Richardson said. “So I’m hoping for the same thing this season (in cross country).”
