Bechard said. The team traveled between Italy, Spain and France.

“It was not only an experience to compete but an experience to spend time together,” he said, “to allow the group to get to know each other and allow them to transition into the fall with a bit of momentum.”

Even other KU sports programs are taking notice of the volleyball team’s dream season.

At a recent press conference, head football coach David Beaty noticed Bechard in the auditorium and congratulated him on the winning streak, jokingly asking for a bit of help at Memorial Stadium.

“Great job, man. Awfully proud. Y’all keep it up,” Beaty said. “You guys are doing a great job in volleyball. ... I need you to come over and help me a little bit, though, in your spare time.”

While KU’s volleyball team is off to an excellent start, Bechard said, it’s no phenomenon — rather, it’s the product of hard work and dedication through the years.

“We’ve been to the NCAA tournament three years prior to this and went head to head with some of the best,” he said. “Even though we’re off to our best start, the last three years have been good.”

The team has been working hard, and fans and peers have certainly taken notice, Bechard said. Each game the Jayhawks have been playing to huge and energetic crowds, he said.

“The gym’s been full,” he said. “I think over the past few years we’ve been building a loyal fan base who appreciate the atmosphere and how hard we play in such an intimate setting.

“Plus all the student athletes support each other, and we’ve got a nice core group of season ticket holders that have been very loyal,” he added. “It’s been a neat deal to see develop.”

Kinch named Democratic Party chairman

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Salina — Lee Kinch, a longtime Kansas Democratic Party activist, officially took over as the state party’s new chairman Saturday, declaring, “The Democratic Party is the party of government.�

Kinch

“Fundamentally, we believe that government has a responsibility to improve the human condition,� Kinch told more than 160 delegates at a special meeting of the party’s state committee in Salina. “Our mission is to make government work not just for the well-born and the wealthy,

but for all the people.�

Kinch succeeds Larry Meeker, of Johnson County, who was forced out of the chairmanship in August after only five months on the job amid controversy over media statements he made suggesting that Kansas Democrats needed to re-brand them-

selves to appeal to a broader, more conservative voter base, and that not all Democrats support key points in the party platform regarding abortion and gay rights.

Meeker resigned just as the party’s mid-year “DemoFest�

Jennifer Attocknie is hanging posters at South Middle School. They are typical in many ways — featuring smiling kids and positive messages — apart from one thing.

What makes the posters unique is that they also feature Native American youth. Different posters were sent to all elementary, middle and high schools in the district this week, and they’ll soon be hanging alongside others in hallways or classrooms in all 20 buildings. The posters are part of an effort by the Lawrence public schools’ Native American Student Services to provide more representation in the schools. “It’s making sure the students see themselves in the buildings and reflected positively,� said Attocknie, who is the coordinator for NASS.

programming include a hoop dancing class, powwow drumming group and storytelling visits to elementary schools.

“It’s to help them stay connected to their tribes and their cultures,” Attocknie said. “It lets them know they aren’t the only native kid in the class.”

Native American students make up about 5 percent of the Lawrence school district’s population, and a few schools — New York, Kennedy and Broken Arrow elementary schools — have populations of approximately 15 percent, according to NASS’s annual report. Districtwide, there are 556 students representing 94 tribes who are enrolled in the NASS program this school year.

NASS, which began in the Lawrence public

. schools in 1972, is federally funded by the U.S. Department of Education and the JohnsonO’Malley Act. The goal of the program, which includes tutors, mentors and programming for Native American students, is to enhance and provide support to the students’ overall growth and development through cultural and academic programs for students and families, according to its website.

The posters, as well as the books authored by Native Americans that were distributed last year to all student and teacher libraries in the district, also help to counteract negative images of Native Americans that are often portrayed in the media, Attocknie said.

“The flip side is that most of the time in the media, it’s usually a stereotype, so it’s combating that,” she said.

Some of the programming also serves the dual purpose of making the

Colorado prisons reviewed for Guantanamo detainees Denver (ap) — A team from the U.S. Defense Department will visit both a state and a federal prison in Colorado to assess their possible use for detainees from Guantanamo Bay, senior U.S. officials said Friday.

The visit comes as the Obama administration struggles to shut down the Guantanamo detention center and find a location within the U.S. to house detainees.

The Pentagon team also has surveyed the Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, and the Naval Consolidated Brig in Charleston, S.C. The reviews assess construction costs and other changes needed to house the detainees and conduct military commission trials.

In Colorado, the medium-security facility is on the same grounds as the maximum-security prison known as Supermax. It would need upgrades, said

Cmdr. Gary Ross, a Pentagon spokesman.

Closing the Guantanamo Bay detention center has been a top priority for President Barack Obama, but the effort has faced hurdles, including staunch opposition among both Republicans and Democrats in Congress.

There are 114 detainees currently in the detention center, and 53 are eligible for transfer. The remaining 61 have been deemed too dangerous to release to another country. Finding countries to take the detainees has also been difficult because the transfers cannot be approved unless officials believe the detainees will not return to terrorism upon release and that there is a host country willing to guarantee they will secure them.

Legislation moving through Congress would retain and possibly increase restrictions on transferring detainees out of Guantanamo Bay.

iting payment to hospitals and licensed doctors.

The firm noted in its report, though, that the federal Affordable Care Act now requires state Medicaid programs to pay for maternity care at free-standing birth centers. It also noted that Louisiana has the lowest rate of home births, roughly one in 500, a rate 10 times lower than Oregon’s and 13 times lower than Montana’s.

“In Louisiana, hospital and facility costs account for 59 percent of the average cost of a vaginal birth and 62 percent of the cost of a C-section,” the firm said in its report.

Another recommendation that stirred controversy was the suggestion that the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development save millions of dollars a year by applying thinner asphalt overlays to its highways, using a different, stronger type of asphalt.

“That one turned out to be a lot more complicated than it appeared to be at first,” Scott said, noting that it generated some “interesting discussion.”

But Scott said it’s difficult to tell how many of the recommendations were actually implemented and, of those, how much money they actually saved. Nevertheless, he said, Louisiana legislators built into their budget many of the sav-

But a lot of their ideas have been explored before and decisions were made not to go forward with them.”

Officials at A&M did not respond to numerous phone calls requesting comment. Scott said that’s not unusual for the firm.

“A&M is not very good at communicating with the public and the media,” he said. “They don’t make themselves accessible to help explain things.”

Scott said some of the projected savings that A&M said could be realized were highly speculative, such as the idea the state could save $1.5 million a year in transportation costs by installing GPS devices on all state vehicles to ensure state employees were always using the most efficient and direct routes.

Others, he said, raised eyebrows at first, although there may have been some merit to them.

For example, A&M said the state could save $137,000 a year by allowing pregnant women on Medicaid the option of giving birth at home or at non-hospital birthing centers, using midwives and doulas instead of lim-

For instance, as part of the elementary storytelling program, Native American students from both high schools will read books authored by Native Americans to students at several elementary schools.

“It’s good for them to understand that native people aren’t always in the past,” Attocknie said.

“In the classroom, it’s almost always about history, not about current native issues.”

Attocknie said the high school students will participate in elementary storytelling on Oct. 23 — a day the high schools are out of session but elementary schools are not — and that the plan is to visit both a school with a low percentage and a high percentage of Native American students.

ROADWORK SLT interchange at Bob Billings delayed

Health insurance changes will lighten KU paychecks

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Kansas University and other state employees, regardless of pay raises, face higher health insurance deductibles and premiums next year.

In another benefits change, should their employment end, employees’ insurance coverage will end with it immediately — at midnight that day instead of at the end of the month, as it currently does.

That includes retirements and employment being terminated for other reasons, according to KU’s Human Resource Management website.

Raises CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

employees, according to Provost Jeff Vitter.

He said the planned raises would comprise roughly 1 percent of the university’s salary budget.

“While not as large a pool as we would like, it will help us recognize continued excellence,” Vitter wrote in a recent memo to KU faculty and staff.

“The ability to extend increases will depend upon a small number of factors, most notably avoiding additional state budget cuts. We will make final deci— Staff Reports sions later in the semester.”

Vitter noted that many employees had BIRTHS asked about raises and that he appreciated No births were reported their patience in the Saturday.

ings that the firm said the state could expect.

The New Orleans Times Picayune reported recently that the state ended the last fiscal year with a deficit of around $50 million, a shortfall that will have to be made up with midyear spending cuts in the current fiscal year.

“I think it’s probably a healthy exercise to do,” Scott said of the efficiency review process. “But be careful about exaggerating how much of it is real. Look out for the speculative savings that may or may not come to fruition. Look out for budget tricks.”

North Carolina Medicaid In February 2014, the state of North Carolina awarded A&M a $3.2 million no-bid contract to turn around the state’s troubled Medicaid program. By September of that year, the contract had grown to nearly $7 million, according to local news reports.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

It was extended at least twice, according to information on the Department of Health and Human Services’ website, and ended up costing a total of $9.7 million through June 30, 2015.

Adam Linker, of the North Carolina Justice Center, a left-leaning research and advocacy group, said the state’s Department of Health and Human Services, which manages the Medicaid program, had suffered from a high turnover rate among its staff and lack of experienced management.

“The governor (Republican Pat McCrory) appointed a director who didn’t have much experience,” he said.

“There was a lot of turnover at the top of the Medicaid program.

They didn’t have the staff to run it.”

But Linker said his group now relies heavily on A&M for information and data about the state’s Medicaid

3 Ways to Deal with the Recent Volatility

Wednesday, October 7th Hy-Vee Clubroom

KU’s Lawrence campus has about 4,600 faculty and staff participating in the State Employee Health Plan, according to Madi Vannaman, associate director of Human Resources for Benefits at KU. Open enrollment is this month for KU employees participating in the state insurance plan. New plans go into effect Jan. 1, 2016.

State workers will get to choose between two providers, Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield, each of which will offer two coverage plans: Plan A and Plan C, according to an Associated Press report.

Plan A premiums

will increase slightly, but workers on Plan C will see premiums nearly triple, according to the report. Deductibles will increase across the board, from $100 to $300 depending on the plan.

Open enrollment meetings for KU employees are planned at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Thursday at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union, 1301 Jayhawk Blvd. Information on open enrollment webinars can be found online at humanresources.ku.edu/openenrollment.

meantime.

State general fund dollars to KU remained flat from the previous year, in the budget the Kansas Legislature approved this summer after a contentious, record-long session.

However, if needed to offset lower than anticipated revenues, allotment cuts could be made in coming months.

Last week, the Department of Revenue reported the state collected $31 million less in taxes than anticipated for September, and some critics of Gov. Sam Brownback predicted he might in fact be forced into another round of budget cuts.

Raises already have been implemented for certain KU staff members affected by KU’s Classification and Market Study, which was implemented in four phases between No-

vember 2013 and July of this year, according to a written budget summary from KU. The study included redesigning salary structures “to better reflect the hiring market,” according to KU. As positions were reviewed, employees whose pay was lower than the newly established minimum were raised to the minimum.

In June, The Kansas Board of Regents — citing a desire to keep university CEO salaries competitive in the market — approved 2 percent raises to the base pay of KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and other state university presidents. That raised Gray-Little’s salary to $510,040, an increase of $10,000.

program that the group uses in its health care advocacy projects.

One of the things A&M did was to install one of its own consultants, Rudy Dimmling, as the state’s Medicaid finance director, at an annual salary of $175,000.

According to the News & Observer, A&M’s contract is just one of several high-dollar contracts that are now the subject of a federal grand jury investigation.

The newspaper reported that the subpoenas were issued in late July and that DHHS Secretary Aldona Wos announced her resignation about a week later.

A spokeswoman for the state agency was not available last week for comment.

Kansas contract In Kansas, it was the Legislature, not the governor’s office, that decided to hire a consultant for an efficiency study, and A&M was selected over three other firms through a competitive bidding process.

Kansas State Sen. Ty Masterson, R-Andover, who is vice chairman of the Legislative Budget Committee that reviewed the proposals and made the selection, said a final contract has been negotiated and signed by legislative leaders.

But state officials on Friday would not release a copy of that contract, saying it still has not been signed by A&M.

convention in Wichita was getting underway. But the party could not act to name a new chairman at that time because party officials had neglected to send out a formal notice, as required by its bylaws, that the state committee would be meeting.

That mix-up seemed to symbolize the problems of a state political party that has suffered consistently at the polls over the past several election cycles. In 2014, for the third election cycle in a row, Democrats saw a net loss of seats in the Kansas Legislature while Republicans swept every statewide and congressional race.

But in his acceptance speech, Kinch laid out the case that he plans to take to voters next year.

For most of his roughly 25-minute speech, Kinch offered a stinging indictment of what he called Brownback’s “radical conservative” policies on tax cuts, school finance, labor relations, the selection of state judges and the GOP’s refusal to expand Medicaid, as allowed under the federal Affordable Care Act. And he vowed that Democrats would work to reverse those policies, most notably by pushing for Medicaid expansion.

He also paid homage to a long list of moderate Republican officeholders over the last half-century or more, from former President Dwight Eisenhower to former Senate President Steve Morris and other moderates who were defeated by conservative challengers in GOP primaries in 2012.

“Accordingly, we will embrace the opportunity to work with moderate Republicans and unaffiliated voters toward that goal,” Kinch said.

Democrats in the Legislature, and others who

have run unsuccessfully for public office, often have been divided over what strategy to use, whether to focus exclusively on criticizing Brownback and the conservatives, or whether they should be more forceful in offering their own, alternative agenda.

But Rep. Jim Ward, DWichita, said the party chairman’s job isn’t to settle those kinds of differences.

“We have to pivot into (explaining), ‘This is how it could be different,’” Ward said. “Let us move together toward Medicaid expansion, funding public schools to a constitutional level, reinvesting in highways and protecting higher education.”

Sen. Tom Holland, DBaldwin City, said he personally intends to begin laying out specific Democratic policy alternatives during the 2016 legislative session.

“I’ll be laying out what we should be doing taxwise,” said Holland, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Taxation Committee. “We should be repeal-

ing the Sam Brownback income tax cuts of 2012. We should be working to raise the minimum wage in this state. We should not be attacking state employee human rights in this state.

And we should be working to fund the expansion of Medicaid based on the Affordable Care Act.” Getting a new party chairman in place was also important because 2016 is a presidential election year and the party needs a chairman to sign off on its plan for selecting delegates to the Democratic National Convention, which will take place in Philadelphia in July.

Sen. Marci Francisco, DLawrence, who chairs the delegate selection committee, said the plan is to hold caucuses in each state senate district on March 5. Each senate district is given a certain number of delegates it can send to the congressional district meetings April 2, and those congressional-level meetings will choose the delegates who go to the national convention.

Saturday’s meeting also provided a unique oppor-

L awrence J ournal -W orld

tunity for bipartisan camaraderie because standing in the back of the room while Kinch spoke was Clay Barker, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party, who said he dropped by the meeting because he wanted to observe his competition in action.

Democrats in the theater gave him a polite and welcoming round of applause when his name was called out. And afterwards, Barker complimented Kinch for giving a “good speech,” thanked the Democrats for their hospitality and said he looked forward to the competition in 2016.

“Any group goes through periods of little mistakes,” Barker said of the confusion that erupted during the DemoFest convention in August. “I tell our people, don’t read anything into that.

They’re motivated. They’re getting organized. They’re going to be effective.”

EDITORIALS

Insulting effort Kansas legislators should drop their effort to place unreasonable limits on who is eligible to serve on a local school board.

A

survey recently sent to local school boards at the request of Kansas legislators is insulting to board members and probably a waste of everyone’s time.

The survey requested by the Legislature’s Special Committee on Ethics, Elections and Local Government is designed to assess the impact of a bill (HB 2345) introduced last session that would make it illegal for anyone to serve on a local school board if his or her spouse, parent or sibling works at any school district in the state. That’s right; not just the school district governed by the local board, but any school district in the state. So someone whose mother teaches in Hoxie would be barred from serving on the Emporia school board.

Do we also need to ban people with children from serving on local school boards?

Sen. Mitch Holmes, R-St. John, chairs the special committee and defended the survey, which asks board members whether they or any member of their families are employed by a Kansas school district or the Kansas State Department of Education. It also asks whether anyone living in their homes works for any of those entities and whether they have a “substantial interest” in a business that provides services to the state of Kansas or their own school district. There is a perception, Holmes said, that local school boards have a problem with conflicts of interest. “We should at least quantify the number of board members affected by HB 2345 in its current form,” he said.

It’s hard to see why conflict of interest — or the perception thereof — would be a bigger problem for school board members than for any other elected official. All elected officials should be conscious of potential conflicts of interest and prepared to step aside from any issue that presents a conflict. Lawrence city commissioners, for instance, abstain from voting on any issue that affects them financially, but that doesn’t mean a commissioner who owns a downtown business must abstain from voting on all matters that affect downtown — or that he or she should be barred from serving on the commission in the first place.

Having a family member who teaches in a Kansas school actually might make a school board member even more qualified to discuss and decide important issues before the board. Members of local school boards, by state statute, serve without pay. They give their time and energy to this important job out of a sense of civic responsibility and a commitment to education. As is true of all election officials, voters and district patrons have ample opportunity to assess whether board members are taking advantage of their positions for personal gain.

Only one person reportedly spoke in favor of HB 2345 when it was reviewed by the House Education Committee during the last legislative session. Rather than ordering surveys and questioning the integrity of school board members, legislators should be thanking local school boards across the state for the important work they do.

Police investigations need civilian eyes What can I do?

Not quite six months ago, a reader named Tracy posed that question to me and I, in turn, posed it to you. Tracy, a 55-year-old white woman from Austin, said she was sick of hearing about unarmed African-American men being injured or killed by police. “What can be done?” she asked. “What can I do? I’m sincere in this question. I want to DO something. What can that be?”

Well Bob has some ideas.

In an email, he describes himself as a “retired professional firefighter from a metropolitan area” whose 20 years as a paramedic often required him to work closely with police.

“I witnessed many cases of police brutality,” he writes. “A stressed patient or family member would call 911 for medical assistance. We would respond as well as the PD. A situation that required a calm and caring presence and an ambulance ride to a care center or psych ward would end up in a physical altercation with mace and cuffs.”

Bob says he and his partner would talk about what they had seen on the way back to the station, “but knew better than to alert our superiors or file com-

Leonard Pitts Jr.

Just as you would never assign a 7-year-old to solve the mystery of the broken cookie jar, he thinks it makes little sense to ask police to investigate their own.” plaints because we did not dare open a rift with the local PD. We (and paramedics on other shifts) needed PD backup on potentially dangerous calls. So we all kept quiet.”

Based on that experience, Bob has two suggestions.

One is that we should push for more thorough screening of police applicants.

“We need cops to DEFUSE situations,” he writes, “not escalate. We need cops with people skills. No more bullies. Very intense psych examinations should be part of police applicant training.”

Bob’s other suggestion?

Require that non-sworn civilians be part of any investigation of police brutality.

Just as you would never assign a 7-year-old to solve the mystery of the broken cookie jar, he thinks it makes little sense to ask police to investigate their own.

“Do we really think cops will give an unbiased and honest effort when investigating other cops? NO! It is always the same old game.

Make the investigation last for months until it is backpage news. Discount or do not document damaging statements. Intimidate convincing witnesses. Conveniently forget to note damaging facts. When all else fails, lie or plant evidence to close cases.”

From where I sit, both of Bob’s suggestions have merit, but as we approach the first anniversary of the shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice with no one yet held accountable, his second carries particular resonance. Even granting the need for thoroughness, it strains credulity to believe it takes the better part of a year — and counting — to decide whether to prosecute Cleveland Police Officer Timothy Loehmann, especially given the surveillance video that shows

Loehmann shooting the boy, who had been holding a realistic-looking toy gun, within two seconds after the patrol car skids to a stop in front of him.

Would the decision on prosecution proceed at such a leisurely pace had it been Loehmann who was shot?

Would the prosecutor be agonizing like Hamlet almost a year later?

You know the answer as well as I do.

The impulse to cut cops some slack — “Hey, he was only doing his job” — is understandable. It is also wrong and, more to the point, shortsighted.

One of the most important weapons in a cop’s arsenal is his authority. But authority presupposes legitimacy and trust. How much of either can a police officer — or a police force or the institution of policing itself — command when they operate under such a blatantly different set of rules? A requirement that outside eyes be involved in investigations of serious allegations of police misconduct would go a long way toward rectifying that.

At the very least, it’s a conversation we are long overdue to have.

OLD HOME TOWN

Small bridge still a symbolic link I am the proprietor of a small bridge near Vinland, a few miles southeast of Lawrence. My bridge spans a nameless ditch which winds into humble Coal Creek.

From Coal Creek, the waters that pass beneath my bridge flow to the Wakarusa, thence to the Kaw, the Missouri and the mighty Mississippi. At the end of their journey, they spill into the Gulf of Mexico where they mingle with sharks and dolphins.

Bridges are by nature symbolic. They can stand for connection, cooperation, harmony, hope. They join opposing banks. They bring people together for commerce — or war. The “Bridge to Nowhere” exemplifies boondoggles.

The “Bridge Over Troubled Water” embodies succor for someone in pain. The bridge in tarot stands for progress and transitions.

In some religions, a rainbow is a bridge to paradise.

The “Bridge of Sighs” was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. A proverb advises us not to cross a bridge until we come to it.

If we fail to follow that advice, that’s water under the bridge.

My lowly bridge doesn’t inspire lofty associations.

But last spring it became entangled in a minor drama. Our neighborhood had gone from drought to deluge in a matter of weeks.

George Gurley

“

Bridges are by nature symbolic.

They can stand for connection, cooperation, harmony, hope.

They join opposing banks. They bring people together for commerce — or war.”

Since then I’ve become intimately acquainted with my bridge. Whoever built it believed in doing things right and making them to last. The bridge must be 100 years old. It’s a marvel of sound engineering and solid construction. Planks were held in place by halfinch thick U-shaped rebars.

Massive retaining walls were built to shore up the banks and prevent erosion.

You could drive a school bus over that bridge and it would hold up. All this to permit the cultivation of a few flood-threatened acres.

If I hadn’t messed with it, the bridge would have survived the flood intact.

Farming the small acreage was abandoned some time ago. The ground is now infested with spectacular growths of pokeweed. Soaring cottonwoods, hedge, locust and hackberry trees preside over the small domain, which has become a refuge for turkeys and deer.

So swiftly does nature reclaim the domesticated plots of human beings. The planks have been recovered. The bridge no longer has a purpose, but it will be rebuilt. It deserves respect as a small monument to workmanship, as a reminder of nature’s sometimes hostile moods and of the bridge that each of us must eventually cross that leads to the other side.

Ponds that had been dry were overflowing. Roads were washed out. Herons stalked in flooded fields where crowds of frogs had hatched. One day, it occurred to me that I ought to have a look at my bridge.

Sure enough, disaster had struck. An unfinished repair project had left the planks of the bridge unattached. Water had risen at least 10 feet in the normally dry ditch and had become a raging torrent. The 100-pound, 2-inch-thick oak planks had been hurled downstream where they were strewn like match — George Gurley, a resident of sticks along the ditch. It was a testimony to water’s rural Baldwin City, writes a regular column for the Journal-World. potential for violent power.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 4, 1915: years “One of the ago Journal-World’s IN 1915 traveling men was amazed one day last week to find an old gentleman named Kanole, who lives on rural route 17 out of Richland, digging potatoes.

There would have been nothing unusual about that had he been 65, 60, or 75 years old, or perhaps older, but when the old gentleman and later his relatives assured the traveler that he is 88 years old, the incident began to have interest. Mr. Kanole prepared the ground, planted the potatoes and all summer did the hoeing and weed pulling on a patch 12.5 by 16.5 feet, and last week dug the product – two and a half bushels of fine potatoes.... Mr. Kanole for a number of years was compelled to use glasses to read and write by, but has discarded them and reads and writes by his natural eyesight, that is practically as good as it ever was.”

“The man who used the name T. F. Walsh in cashing worthless checks at Lawrence a week ago has been operating in two other college towns in the state. At Manhattan and Pittsburg he duplicated his performance of passing worthless checks for small amounts. Now the officers of three counties and the Burns detective agency are looking for him.”

“E. R. Hess, a graduate of the School of Pharmacy at the University in the class of 1909, and for the past four years owner of a drug store at Hays City, Kansas, has purchased C. C. Shaler’s drug store at 742 Mass. St., and took possession Saturday morning. Mr. Hess formerly lived in Ottawa.

Mr. Shaler desires to thank his many friends for their patronage. Mr. Hess and family have taken the apartments over Aldrich’s printery.”

Saturday morning.

The attendees and their pets, on leashes or held in arms, formed a line to have Elster put holy water on each pet’s head and say a blessing for their health and well-being.

Most of the pets brought for blessings were dogs, but some people brought photographs of cats or other pets to be blessed as part of the commemoration day of St. Francis, which is today.

Frances Emmons, of Lawrence, waited in line with her pug, Miss Darling Daphne Diva. Emmons said the event was a way for her to show love for her longtime pet and a chance for Diva to visit with other dogs.

“She’s been with me 15 years, and I just wanted

to come out and have her blessed,” she said.

The event also included informational pamphlets and the chance for attendees to ask questions of representatives from the Kansas Humane Society, Douglas County Emergency Preparedness and Pawsh Wash.

Animal blessings are a common way to celebrate the feast day, and this was the second year for the event at Trinity Lutheran.

In the spirit of St. Francis, one goal of the event was to encourage caring for and preserving all elements of the environment, said event committee member Susan Hadl.

“We need to be good stewards of all God’s creations,” she said. “The animal population fits into that quite nicely, and people can relate to that.”

RENATA RAKSHA FOR USA TODAY

At least 19 people were killed — 12 Doctors Without Borders staff members and seven patients — and another 37 wounded after a suspected U.S. airstrike early Saturday at the organization’s hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan.

The organization said the hospital was hit several times during “sustained bombing” starting at 2:10 a.m. Saturday and continuing in 15-minute intervals for more than an hour. Its president called it a “grave violation of international humanitarian law,” and the United Nations’ top human rights official said it may prove to be a war crime.

said. Of the wounded, 19 are staff members, and 18 are patients or caregivers.

The office of Gen. John Campbell, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, said the strike was conducted against insurgents firing on U.S. personnel, who have been advising and assisting Afghan forces in their effort to clear the area of insurgents.

“While we work to thoroughly examine the incident and determine what happened, my MEDECINS SANS FRONTIERES VIA AFP/GETTY IMAGES thoughts and prayers are with those affected,” Campbell said.

the hospital was struck inadvertently or Taliban fighters were using it as a base. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

Defense Secretary Ashton Carter called it a “tragic incident.”

The Taliban took control of Kunduz, Afghanistan’s sixth-largest city, on Monday, and U.S. forces were helping to take it back.

Earlier, Army spokesman Col. Brian Tribus confirmed U.S. forces had conducted an airstrike in Kunduz “against individuals threatening the force.” He said the strike “may have resulted in collateral damage to a nearby medical facility.”

Landmark rulings have kept justices at center of controversy Richard Wolf USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Three years into John Roberts’ tenure as chief justice of the United States, the Supreme Court ruled by one vote that the Second Amendment protects the right to keep guns at home for self-defense.

Seven years later to the day, the court ruled — again by one vote — that the 14th Amendment requires states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

From the court’s landmark Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision allowing unlimited corporate spending in political campaigns to its razor-thin ruling that upheld President Obama’s signature health care law, the high court under Roberts has struggled to balance a strict reading of the Constitution and federal statutes against the pressures of politics and public opinion.

A river of grief flowed through this small town Saturday as residents struggled to comprehend the shooting deaths of nine members of Umpqua Community College at the hands of a student armed with an arsenal of guns.

Among the dead are family members of local firefighters and paramedics who rushed to the chaotic scene Thursday morning. Officials on Saturday said the gunman, a student who attacked his own class, died by suicide after exchanging gunfire with two responding police officers.

An FBI behavioral analysis team is helping local police understand the shooter’s motivations so the community can begin to “move down the path of recovery,” Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said. Signs around the town of about 30,000 urge passers-by to “stand with UCC.” Federal law enforcement sources have identified the killer as Chris Mercer, who lived in an apartment complex about a mile away. Local authorities say the gunman — whom they have refused to name publicly to avoid giving him further notoriety — had 14 guns, although he wasn’t carrying all of them at the time of the shooting.

Hunt is on for cargo ship missing in Hurricane Joaquin Last known location was in eye of storm Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

The U.S. Coast Guard continued searching Saturday for a cargo ship that went missing near the Bahamas with 33 crewmembers aboard, hoping to get closer to the vessel’s last known location after it was caught in Hurricane Joaquin.

The 790-foot El Faro was reported disabled Thursday morning after the captain signaled the

ship was taking on water, had lost propulsion and was listing at 15 degrees. There has been no contact from the ship since. The crew is made up of 28 Americans and five Polish nationals.

“It delivered a single-burst transmission and then did not deliver any more transmissions after that,” said Phil Green, an executive with TOTE Maritime, which owns the vessel.

On Friday, the Coast Guard said the area where the ship was located was near the eye of the Category 4 storm where winds were up to 140 mph at the time with waves 20 to 30 feet high.

The ship was loaded with 391

The Coast Guard had already covered an area of about 850 square miles as it resumed the search Saturday for El Faro. containers on its deck and carried 293 cars, trucks and trailers below. Such a cargo load can aggravate any listing of the ship.

With the massive storm finally shifting slowly northeast and

away from the Bahamas, a search team in a C-130 aircraft aimed to fly closer to the emergency signal reporting the ship’s last location.

“The last known location for these guys, think about it, was

pretty much the eye of the hurricane,” Coast Guard Petty Officer Jon-Paul Rios said Saturday. “We would dip down below the clouds and try to make call-outs to see if we could hail them on radios. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to.”

The ship, built in 1975, was en route from Jacksonville, Fla., to its home port of San Juan, Puerto Rico, where it was due to arrive late Friday.

The crew had initially reported Thursday that waters flooding into the vessel had been contained, the Coast Guard said.

Gay priest fired on eve of bishops’ gathering Vatican criticizes high-ranking official’s timing of disclosure Yamiche Alcindor USA TODAY

The Vatican fired a priest Saturday after he came out as gay and revealed he has a boyfriend on the eve of an important meeting of the world’s bishops to discuss church teachings on family life, a topic that encompasses divorce, homosexuality and cohabitation.

Considered a high-ranking Vatican official, Monsignor Krzysztof Charamsa, 43, has lived in Rome for 17 years and worked at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith since 2003.

In several interviews, Charamsa said he was happy and proud to be a gay priest and was in love with a man whom he identified as his boyfriend, according to the Associated Press. He said he wanted to challenge the church’s “backwards” attitude to homosexuality, the BBC reported.

“It’s time the church opened its

eyes and realized that offering gay believers total abstinence from a life of love is inhuman,” he said, according to the network.

Charamsa also said he knew he would have to give up his ministry but felt he had a duty toward sexual minorities to come out, BBC reported.

The Vatican reacted quickly by firing him and criticizing the timing of his revelations. On Sunday, Pope Francis formally opens the

global meeting, known as a synod, where about 270 bishops from around the world will discuss church doctrine.

“The decision to make such a pointed statement on the eve of the opening of the synod appears very serious and irresponsible, since it aims to subject the synod assembly to undue media pressure,” Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said in a statement.

Charamsa can no longer work at the Vatican or its pontifical universities, Lombardi said. Charamsa remains a priest, though Lombardi said further actions could follow.

Charamsa held a news conference in Rome after the Vatican’s actions. He was joined by his companion, identified only as Eduard. Charamsa said the timing of his disclosure was not related to the bishops meeting on the family but said he hoped it might add “a Christian voice” to the meeting, AP reported.

“I came out,” Charamsa said.

“This is a very personal, difficult and tough decision in the Catholic Church’s homophobic world.”

hearings in 2005. “The role of the judge is limited,” he said then.

“The judge is to decide the cases before them. They’re not to legislate. They’re not to execute the laws.”

Despite Roberts’ desire that the court maintain consistency, consensus and a low profile, the justices have swung right and left in rulings that affect all aspects of American life, from post-9/11 national security and international relations to race, sex, religion and commerce. It has tackled issues of birth and death, abortion and contraception, the air we breathe and the water we drink.

“This is a court that really wants to be and is at center stage of American public life,” says Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California-Irvine School of Law. “This court has decided as many blockbuster cases with huge social impact as almost any 10-year period in American history.”

Along the way, the court that presidents from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama built has wrestled with problems involving modern technology and an interconnected world, forcing nine justices who qualify for AARP membership to navigate GPS, decipher DNA and test-pilot the most violent of video games.

The result is that 10 years after Roberts’ confirmation on Sept. 29, 2005, the court is still struggling to define itself.

That has made the court a bit of an orphan in Washington’s internecine politics — reviled by liberals for decisions such as Citizens United and a series of rulings against racial preferences, but increasingly denounced by Republicans who have seen GOP presidents name 12 of the past 16 justices without winning five consistently reliable votes.

He was the fifth vote in Citizens United — the case that has come to symbolize the Roberts Court’s free-market conservatism and that has generated the loudest liberal protests, from the president on down.

Obama’s nominations of Sotomayor in 2009 and Kagan the following year represented a bit of a counterweight. Sotomayor has developed one of the most liberal voting records among Supreme Court justices of the past 70 years. Kagan, a former Harvard Law School dean and U.S. solicitor general, has become a savvy questioner and witty writer who pushes back against her conservative colleagues. Their leader and role model, Justice Ruth

“It’s my job to call balls and strikes and not to pitch or bat.”

Chief Justice John Roberts, during his 2005 confirmation hearings

“We’re frustrated as conservatives,” Sen. Ted Cruz, who clerked for Roberts’ predecessor as chief justice, William Rehnquist, said during the most recent Republican presidential debate. “We keep winning elections, and then we don’t get the outcome we want.”

They’ve had plenty of chances.

Four justices are new to the court in the past decade, including Roberts, the nation’s 17th chief justice, and two history-advancing women, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. None has had the impact of the fourth new justice, Samuel Alito, whose conservatism represents a stark contrast with his predecessor, the moderate Sandra Day O’Connor. He has joined Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas on the court’s right flank.

It was Alito’s confirmation in 2006 that began the court’s march to the right. He produced the fifth vote against partial-birth abortion and school desegregation plans, and for the right to keep guns at home for self-de-

Bader Ginsburg, 82, has used their ascension to create a solid liberal voting bloc — one that dominated the court last term.

As a result, the court under Roberts has fallen into a pattern of being characterized as conservative in most cases, liberal in some — just the sort of labels the chief justice has sought to avoid.

Since Kagan’s confirmation, the court has appeared for the first time just as partisan as the other branches of government: five conservatives put there by Republican presidents, four liberals named by Democrats.

“Roberts has a task and a half,” says Lee Epstein, a Washington University Law School professor who collects and analyzes data about the court. “It’s a political court. It’s an ideological court.

But he’s confronted with the additional problem that it looks like a partisan court.”

On so many cases, it’s also Justice Anthony Kennedy’s court — divided 4-4 with Kennedy in the middle. President Reagan’s third

choice in 1988, he has replaced O’Connor as the perennial swing vote. He’s often conservative on business and criminal law issues, but he has a libertarian streak and a soft spot for civil rights — most notably gay marriage.

Then there is Roberts, who each year becomes tougher to label. As chief justice, he must balance his judicial philosophy against the court’s — and his own — legacy. At 60, he is likely to preside for many years, if not decades, to come — perhaps even threatening Chief Justice John Marshall’s record of 34 years at the center of the bench.

“He doesn’t want to go down in history as just another political activist,” says David Strauss, a University of Chicago Law School professor who has argued 18 cases inside the marble courtroom. “He wants to go down in history as a chief justice who did the job right.”

Roberts cut a modest figure before the Senate Judiciary Committee when making his case a decade ago. “It’s my job to call balls and strikes and not to pitch or bat,” he assured lawmakers.

The Senate rewarded him with a 78-22 confirmation vote, better than the justices who have followed. Obama, a freshman senator at the time, voted “no.”

Mostly true to his word, Roberts’ tenure has been marked by an incremental approach to decision-making — issuing narrow rather than bold rulings that have the inevitable effect of bringing the same issues back to the court.

Then there are some blockbusters, such as Citizens United and Roberts’ 5-4 opinion in 2013 striking down the key section of the Voting Rights Act. This year’s 5-4 decision making same-sex marriage legal nationwide — written by Kennedy over Roberts’ angry dissent — fits that description.

In rare instances, the court’s conservatives have reached beyond the confines of a case to decide a bigger question, such as in

Citizens United. The result has been a huge surge in outside spending on elections, overwhelmingly tilted toward conservative candidates.

On civil rights cases, the Roberts Court was quick out of the box. Roberts wrote the 5-4 decision in 2007 that struck down school desegregation plans in Seattle and Louisville, famously declaring, “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”

Proponents and opponents of his approach agree: Roberts tries to apply colorblind principles to cases involving racial preferences and voting rights. They disagree on whether that lofty goal is appropriate for the times. “There is the potential for the Roberts Court to be remembered as the court that ended the use of racial preferences and classifications in American public life,” says Edward Blum, the conservative activist who brought several of the cases to the high court.

David Gans of the liberal Constitutional Accountability Center notes that after a decade “Roberts is still searching for a fifth vote to strike a decisive blow against affirmative action and other raceconscious policies.”

Quite the opposite is true of policies restricting the ability of gay men and lesbians to marry.

Two years after ruling that the federal government must recognize such marriages in the 13 states that sanctioned them at the time, the court in June required all states to follow suit. There was nothing incremental about that decision — and Roberts was so miffed, he summarized his dissent from the bench for the first time in a decade.

“Today, five lawyers have ordered every state to change their definition of marriage,” the chief justice said. “Just who do we think we are?”

Who they are, it appears, depends on the issue before them.

A conservative court? It’s certainly been that on campaign spending, religious expression, abortion and contraception, gun rights and the death penalty. A 2013 study published in the Minnesota Law Review found a heavy tilt toward business, with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on the winning side more often than the past.

A liberal court? In the past term, liberals were in the majority on all major cases until the final day, when the court upheld a controversial form of lethal injection and put a crimp in the Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to regulate air pollution.

In most controversial cases, the breakdown was the same: 5-4, with the Republican and Democratic presidents’ nominees lining up on opposite sides. “From an institutional perspective, I think that is disconcerting,” says Kenji Yoshino, a constitutional law professor at New York University School of Law. That’s not what Roberts envisioned during his swearing-in ceremony in the East Room of the White House a decade ago.

Calling it a “bedrock principle,” the chief justice said, “Judging is different from politics.”

That was a difficult case to prove five years earlier, when the court voted 5-4 in Bush v. Gore to stop the presidential recount process, resulting in George W. Bush’s election.

Still, the court enjoyed favorable poll ratings from the time of Roberts’ confirmation until 2012, when the court began to weigh in on some of the nation’s most intractable problems: health insurance and immigration, to be followed by voting rights and same-sex marriage. Today, Americans are almost equally divided on the court’s effectiveness.

Army hits its target for recruits in 2015 Tom Vanden Brook

@coopallen USA TODAY

The Army met its recruiting goal for the year ending Sept. 30, overcoming a deficit in new soldiers that had dogged it for much of the year, officials said.

For fiscal year 2015, the Army recruited 59,170 soldiers, exceeding the goal of 59,000, according to Kelli Bland, a spokeswoman for the Army’s recruiting comWASHINGTON

Campaigns made last-minute pitches for dollars ahead of the close of the third fundraising quarter, and Marco Rubio found himself the target of a rival once considered a mentor.

More news from the world of politics:

mand in Fort Knox, Ky. The improving economy has offered young men and women more job options, toughening the task for recruiters. Tightening military budgets also have limited the bonuses that can be offered.

And some of the Army’s best recruiters, who have been successful for years, have retired or moved on to other jobs, said Beth Asch, a senior economist at the RAND Corp.

“Those are the big three,” said Asch, an expert in labor econom-

ics and defense personnel.

Entering the summer, the Army had fallen behind in its monthly goals. At the end of May, it had fallen 13.5% short of its goal but had trimmed the gap to 8% by the end of September.

Recruiters did fall short of their goal for the Army reserve for 2015 and its delayed-entry pool for 2016.

The Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy face similar recruiting challenges, Asch said.

“All the services right now have

concerns about improvements in the economy and the tightening labor market,” Asch said. “The improved job prospects for young people have an effect, especially in their target market — those with higher aptitude.”

Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Snow, who leads Army recruiting efforts, said Thursday that the goal for 2016 will be higher, 62,500 new soldiers.

“It’s going to be a challenging year, but I am confident my team is up to the task,” Snow said.

President Obama delivered a forceful call for stronger gun laws. Donald Trump, meanwhile, pointed to the role of mental illness as a root cause during an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Friday.

“We have millions of sick people all over the world,” Trump said. “It can happen all over the world. And it does happen all over the world, by the way, but this is sort of unique to this country, the school shootings.”

He added that he believes there are limits on what the government can do to address the issue. “There are many people like that and what are you going to do? Institutionalize everybody?”

Can Sen. Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee make the cut?

NEW RULES SET FOR NEXT GOP DEBATE The main stage of the next Republican debate could look different than the previous two.

CNBC, host of the Oct. 28 debate in Boulder, Colo., announced its criteria for who would make the prime-time event.

Rather than take the top 10, as has been the case, the network will require candidates to average at 2.5% or higher in a selection of recent national polls leading up to the debate. Those who don’t but who do register at 1% in one of those surveys will be relegated to the undercard debate.

This new threshold will raise the stakes in the coming weeks for some candidates who have struggled to gain traction in national polling, such as Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.

Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Bush said Rubio often followed his lead but compared Rubio’s experience level with that of President Obama when he won the White House in 2008.

FACT CHECK Is Trump’s tax plan revenue-neutral?

D

Robert Farley l FactCheck.org

onald Trump claims his tax plan is “revenue-neutral,” but tax experts say that just isn’t so. Not by a long stretch. Even assuming the tax cuts would promote economic growth, the pro-business Tax Foundation estimates the Trump plan would reduce revenue to the Treasury by more than $10 trillion over 10 years.

Separately, Roberton Williams of the non-partisan Tax Policy Center said it would require “substantial budget cuts” to make up for lost revenue.

The Trump tax plan, which he unveiled in a Sept. 28 press conference, includes deep tax cuts for individuals and businesses alike. And, he said, “all of this does not add to our debt or our deficit.” A position statement outlining the tax plan on Trump’s campaign website says the “tax cuts are fully paid for” by reducing or eliminating some individual and corporate tax preferences, and by repatriating corporate cash held overseas.

Trump is banking on the plan spurring economic growth to generate new revenue. In a Sept.

28 piece penned for The Wall Street Journal, Trump boasted, “With moderate growth, this plan will be revenue-neutral.”

Given the generous tax cuts proposed in the plan, though, Alan Cole, an economist with the Tax Foundation, said he was “puzzled” by Trump’s claim the plan would be revenue-neutral.

After performing an analysis of Trump’s proposal, Cole wrote in a blog post, “I do not believe this to be true under any scenario remotely resembling Mr. Trump’s plan.” The post ran under the unequivocal headline, “Donald Trump’s Tax Plan Will Not Be Revenue-Neutral Under Any Circumstances.”

The Tax Foundation estimates Trump’s plan would cut taxes by nearly $12 trillion over a decade on a so-called “static” basis, meaning not taking into consideration how tax cuts could spur economic growth and increase revenues. The Tax Foundation believes the plan would increase incentives to work and invest, thereby spurring the economy.

But even assuming that added revenue bump, called “dynamic scoring,” the Trump plan is expected to reduce tax revenues by

just over $10 trillion over a decade, the Tax Foundation estimates.

And that’s because the tax cuts proposed by Trump are so deep, Cole does not believe any of the offsetting revenue streams — like reducing or eliminating personal and corporate tax expenditures — would be nearly enough to offset the revenue lost by those cuts.

THE PROPOSED CUTS

On the individual side, Trump’s plan would consolidate the current seven tax brackets into four.

One of the biggest revenue reducers would come from Trump’s proposal to reduce the top individual income tax rate from 39.6% to 25%. Trump would also expand the number of Americans who pay no taxes.

Under the Trump plan, single filers making $25,000 or less, or married couples making $50,000 or less, would pay zero income tax (or as Trump put it, they would fill out a one-page letter to the IRS that says “I win”). Trump says that would remove nearly 75 million households — over 50% — from the income tax rolls. But many of them are already not paying federal income taxes.

According to a Tax Policy Center analysis, about 67.3 million tax filers (41.4% of all tax filers) paid no federal income tax in 2014. Eric Toder, co-director of the Tax Policy Center, said it’s difficult to know how many more might be removed from federal tax obligations under Trump’s plan until he provides further details about how the plan would be structured.

While the Tax Foundation analysis found that the tax cuts would lead to lower taxes for taxpayers at all levels of income, the biggest winners — in raw dollars and on a percentage basis — would be those in the top 10% of filers, particularly those in the top 1%. Still, Cole wrote in a blog post on Sept. 30 that the plan “also

contains a very large middle-class tax cut.”

According to the Tax Foundation analysis, after-tax income would increase by 3% for those in the 30% to 40% decile, and 8.9% in the 80% to 90% decile (on a static basis). Those in the top decile would see an increase in aftertax income of 14.6%.

On the corporate side, Trump would cut the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 15%. Similarly, pass-through businesses — independent contractors, small LLCs, etc., which are currently taxed as ordinary income up to a top rate of 39.6% — would be taxed at 15%. Trump also would do away with the estate tax.

“Putting all that together, you are going to see a multitrilliondollar reduction in revenues,” Cole said, “considerably larger than the plans of any other Republican candidates to date.”

Trump’s plan would consolidate the current seven individual tax brackets into four, but cuts would not be equal.

In addition, Trump’s plan said it would “phase in a reasonable cap on the deductibility of business interest expenses.”

Notably, however, Trump said he would preserve charitable giving and mortgage interest deductions — two of the largest income tax deductions — which account for about 10% of all tax expenditures.

The mortgage interest deduction is expected to reduce revenue to the Treasury by nearly $70 billion in 2015, and by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years, while revenue lost to charitable contribution deductions amount to about $54 billion in 2015, or about $745 billion over the next 10 years, according to the White House Office of Management and Budget. In all, tax expenditures cost the government $1.2 trillion in 2014.

Trump also plans to keep the earned income tax credit, which is expected to cause a revenue hit of $63 billion this year, and the

“Trump’s plan is similar to (Jeb) Bush’s, but with larger rate cuts in every area.”

Alan Cole, Tax Foundation economist

By comparison, for example, an analysis of Jeb Bush’s tax plan by the Tax Foundation concluded Bush would cut taxes by $3.6 trillion over the next decade on a static basis, but would reduce tax revenue by $1.6 trillion when factoring in the economic growth that the pro-business group assumes the plan would generate.

Said Cole, “Trump’s plan is similar to Bush’s, but with larger rate cuts in every area.”

THE OFFSETS

According to the Trump campaign website, the Trump tax cuts are “fully paid for” through three main revenue generators: “reducing or eliminating most deductions and loopholes available to the very rich”; a “one-time

child tax credit, which reduces revenue by about $46 billion.

But even if all of the exclusions, deductions and tax preferences were cut, Cole said, “it’s not possible to get there (to revenue-neutral).”

One offset that will not raise much new revenue is one that Trump repeatedly has touted on the campaign trail: taxing “carried interest” earned by hedge fund managers’ portfolio profits as ordinary income rather than capital gains. In other words, closing that loophole would not offset revenue losses much at all.

And because Trump would cut the pass-through business income rate to 15%, it’s that much harder for growth to make up for lost revenue, Cole said.

NATION/WORLD No Starbucks on Mars, and Warning: Please don’t have that’s just the beginning Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

Martians are not the villains.

Mars is. At least, that’s the message in the new big-screen space thriller The Martian.

After an astronaut is stranded alone at a Martian research base, the planet does its best to starve, suffocate and freeze the puny human. Yet the perils in the movie are just a taste of the challenges that Mars would throw at humans who try to keep themselves alive on the surface.

Space experts say the film, which opened nationwide Friday, paints a plausible vision of Mars exploration — “the best space movie since 2001,” says Robert Braun, former chief technologist for NASA — but glosses over some of the worst character traits of the planet next door.

Some of the dangers brushed off in the movie could ensure that The Martian remains solidly in the camp of science fiction for a long time to come. Among them:

Scientists laud ‘The Martian’ as great sci-fi but say planet more inhospitable than film version

@kirkspitzer USA TODAY

Apollo astronauts sneeze and gummed up their spacesuits.

Mars dust could be even worse.

On the moon, dust settles quickly, but on Mars, the winds keep dust aloft, says Braun, now at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Worse, Mars’ soil is full of a toxic salt called perchlorate, which causes thyroid malfunction.

“If the amount of perchlorate that’s in the soil of Mars were in your backyard, the EPA would turn your yard into a Superfund site,” says Chris McKay of NASA’s Ames Research Center.

The perchlorate level on Mars “is thousands of times higher than the highest limit that’s acceptable for human exposure.”

NASA plans to keep dust at bay by having astronauts leave their spacesuits outside, which would mean a lot less dusting for the crew.

Unlike Earth, Mars has only a wispy atmosphere and no protective magnetic shield. As a result, galactic radiation bombards the planet’s surface. The best protection would be a thick layer of water or Martian soil. That glasswalled residence that shelters Matt Damon in The Martian? “I wouldn’t use it. I’d want a big, deep hole,” says Ray Arvidson, who directs the Earth and Planetary Remote Sensing Laboratory at Washington University in St. Louis.

A Mars expedition would expose a crew to more radiation than NASA guidelines permit and would lead to a slightly higher cancer risk, says Jim Green, NASA’s director of planetary science. The trip to and from the planet, rather than the surface sojourn, is the more dangerous phase. But a big solar storm that unleashed a cascade of radioactive particles into space could be lethal to humans on the planet’s surface unless they took shelter.

“Maybe plants will be happy, maybe animals will be happy, maybe humans will be happy.

Or maybe not.”

Chris McKay, of NASA’s Ames Research Center

International Space Station show that plants, animals and humans all suffer in weightlessness, but no one knows how living creatures will fare in reduced gravity.

“Maybe plants will be happy, maybe animals will be happy, maybe humans will be happy,” McKay says. “Or maybe not.”

The effect isn’t easily tested ahead of time and though probably not a huge problem, it could be a “showstopper,” McKay says. uMARS MADNESS. On Mars, astronauts will cope with long delays in their communication with Earth and the knowledge that if they get into trouble, no one can help them. The sense of isolation will be heightened by what’s known as the “Earth-outof-view” phenomenon: Mars crews will see Earth as a tiny star in the sky, and it’s not clear how humans will respond to such a bizarre and unprecedented sight.

Studies of polar explorers and other groups show that isolation and confinement can lead to depression, sleep problems and loneliness, which can in turn sap crewmembers’ energy and judgment. In The Martian, Matt Damon’s character maintains a wisecracking good cheer for the duration. Just such a sense of humor will be crucial for humans making a genuine trip to the planet, says human-performance expert Jason Kring of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University.

Despite the long list of threats posed by Mars, it also boasts soil that could be tilled and, as scientists revealed last week, liquid water. There’s plenty of carbon dioxide to supply plants and to be processed to make oxygen.

“We will discover more issues that we need to address, but they’re also unlikely to change the basic story,” McKay says, “that this is indeed a place where humans can live and work.”

TOKYO And now this warning from Japan: Don’t have sex with the robots.

Japan builds some of the world’s most advanced robotic machinery, but at least one company appears worried that customers might have more in mind than commercial or industrial uses.

Mobile phone giant Softbank, which began selling a small humanoid robot named “Pepper” last June, includes a warning in its user agreement that owners “must not perform any sexual act” or “other indecent behavior” with the robot.

It should be noted that “Pepper” is 4 feet tall, moves on rollers and lacks the type of part that one normally associates with sexual activity.

The machines, which sell for about $2,000 each, are designed to move autonomously and hold basic conversations with humans.

They also can detect and respond to a range of human emotions, Softbank says.

Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son said during an introduction last year that Pepper is designed to understand and respond to a person’s “feelings.”

“Today is the first time in the history of robotics that we are putting emotion into the robot and giving it a heart,” he said.

Pepper has proved popular. All 1,000 units put on sale each month in June, July and August sold out online in just one minute each time. The machines are used primarily as customer service and office assistants. Similar models can be found in banks, hotels and retail shops.

It is not clear why Softbank found it necessary to include the prohibition against sexual acts in the user agreement. Softbank did not respond to a request for comment from USA TODAY. Last month, a Tokyo man was arrested for kicking a Pepper robot at a Softbank store because he was upset with customer service. No word on whether he had a relationship with the robot.

The humanoid robot Pepper is equipped with an emotion engine. All 1,000 units put on sale each month in June, July and August sold out online in just one minute each time.

Russian warplanes have attacked the Islamic State group and other insurgents in central and northern Syria with a wave of new airstrikes, Syrian and Russian military officials said Saturday, according to the Associated Press.

Russian military spokesman Maj.-Gen. Igor Konashenkov said the warplanes flew 20 missions in Syria over the past day, hitting nine ISIL targets. He said an ISIL command post and a weapons storage bunker were destroyed in the area of Raqqa, the extremists’ de facto capital, the AP reported.

HEAVY RAINS POUND SOUTH, FLOOD CHARLESTON, S.C.

Women cry Saturday outside a provisional morgue on the outskirts of Guatemala City, where a landslide struck late Thursday killing at least 32 villagers and damaging 125 homes.

Torrential rains that brought flooding to much of the historic peninsula district of Charleston,

S.C., on Saturday lashed huge parts of the Southeast, giving the region little consolation from the

fading threat of Hurricane Joaquin as it moved to the northeast away from the East Coast.

The weather service warned of a high risk of “widespread excessive rainfall” over large portions of South Carolina, far northeastern Georgia, southwest North Carolina and far eastern Tennessee.”

Some locations may receive a foot of rain or more, which could exceed once-in-100-year rainfall averages,” says AccuWeather Meteorologist Mike Doll.

The torrential rain is being generated by an unusual confluence of weather events — a stalled front near the East Coast, tropical moisture flowing from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, and the effects of the outer edge of Hurricane Joaquin.

The NWS forecast as much as 10 inches of rain in those areas, with some isolated cases of 15 inches or more. It said the threat of significant flooding in portions of South Carolina and southeastern North Carolina would con-

‘THE MARTIAN’ TECHNOLOGIES NOT FAR OFF FROM NASA’S Just days after NASA announced that water exists on Mars, the blockbuster movie ‘The Martian’ starring Matt Damon opens in theaters across America. While we’re still at least two decades from sending astronauts to Mars, NASA says some of the technologies used in the movie aren’t that far away from reality.

MARS SPACESUIT

Z-2 SPACESUIT

TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX

NASA is developing a spacesuit for the first humans to walk on Mars. Engineers are exploring hard composite materials and fabrics to find the right mix of strength and flexibility. NASA invited the public to vote on one of three cover designs for the prototype.

Life on Mars is not comfortable. Temperatures range from 32 degrees to -125 degrees Fahrenheit, and the air is 95% carbon dioxide — poisonous for humans. A sturdy spacesuit providing oxygen is needed to protect explorers. In the film, Mark Watney (Matt Damon) takes long treks in his spacesuit.

MULTI-MISSION SPACE EXPLORATION VEHICLE (MMSEV)

NASA is making the MMSEV versatile enough to support future missions to an asteroid, Mars and its moons and other celestial bodies. NASA has addressed issues such as range, rapid entry/exit and radiation protection. For maneuverability, some versions of the vehicle have six pivoting sets of wheels. If a tire goes flat, the vehicle lifts up the bad wheel and keeps on rolling.

Astronauts would need a versatile rover to conduct experiments and explore areas beyond walking distance. In the movie, Watney takes his rover on multiple trips and makes some custom modifications to increase his chance of survival.

FOOD SOURCE

VEGGIES IN SPACE

Astronauts on the International Space Station have food delivered by resupply vehicles. On Mars, resupply missions from Earth would take at least nine months. Humans would need to grow crops to survive on Mars. In the film, Watney gets very creative, turning the Habitation module (Hab) into a self-sustaining farm. He grows potatoes as his first crop.

HABITAT

“Veggie” is a food-growing system aboard the International Space Station. In 2014, astronauts used it to grow red romaine lettuce. It’s a big step in space farming, and NASA is looking to expand the amount and types of crops to help meet the nutritional needs of future astronauts on Mars.

HUMAN EXPLORATION RESEARCH ANALOG (HERA) At NASA’s Johnson Space Center, crews train for long-duration deep-space missions in the HERA. This self-contained environment simulates a deep-space habitat. The two-story structure is complete with living quarters, workspaces, a hygiene module and a simulated airlock. This research will provide valuable information for future missions.

Watney spends a significant amount of time in the Hab, his home away from home. Future astronauts on Mars would need such a home in which to eat, sleep and conduct research.

hina may be a Silicon Valley obsession, but India increasingly is in the conversation and may soon displace its Asian neighbor as tech’s next big frontier.

The near-future was on full display last week, when India Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a whirlwind tour of the valley, visiting Google, Tesla and Facebook in hopes of deepening ties with the U.S. tech sector. The visit, the first by India’s leader to the West Coast in 33 years, was also economically motivated — stronger bonds with tech’s heavy hitters is crucial if India’s economy is to become a $20 trillion “dream” shared by Modi in a Q&A with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg last Sunday.

The digital economy is a prime economic engine in the world’s second-most populous country (1.3 billion) and the largest democracy on Earth, and yet so many obstacles litter its path.

Indeed, India is beginning to outperform China for a number of reasons. It recently entered the top-10 list of countries, based on

gross domestic product, for the first time, according to a report from Credit Suisse. (China was No. 2, after the U.S., in its best showing yet.)

By 2022, India is likely to pass China and become the world’s most populous nation.

“The Facebook of India is Facebook. The Google of India is Google,” says Beerud Sheth, CEO of Teamchat, a communications app with employees in India and the U.S. “In China, those services are banned.”

But India’s financial allure is

fraught with risks, warns Ajay Arora, CEO of cybersecurity firm Vera. He says poor infrastructure and corruption hinder the prospects of U.S. companies in India, not to mention thousands of competing companies within that country.

The problems don’t end there.

Only one in five Indians have Internet access, ranking the country a desultory 131st in broadband penetration in 2014. Worse, India was 155th in mobile broadband penetration, according to a UNESCO report.

Oh, and one more cautionary statistic: Although consumption accounts for 60% of India’s GDP, says the World Bank, only 1% of its population shops online, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Comparisons between China and India are often made, and for obvious reasons.

Thousands of start-ups in India and China voraciously compete with one another for dominance in their countries, making it hard for U.S. companies to compete there, says Dennis Yang, CEO of Udemy, an online education marketplace. Only a handful of U.S. companies have succeeded in China — including Kentucky Fried Chicken, Microsoft, Boeing and Intel. There, they benefited from robust infrastructure and a sizzling economy.

But the governments of each country, and their relations with the U.S., tilt the economic scale to India despite its infrastructure woes.

When Modi was elected in 2014, the hope was the pro-business leader would accelerate market reforms to attract foreign capital and grow the economy.

Reforms, however, have been slow to take hold because political and social problems continue to plague the country.

Modi has prioritized the modernization of India’s digital infrastructure, with an aim to improve education and consumption to spark an economic revival.

This is where U.S. tech giants could help, including those led by Indian CEOs such as Google’s Sundar Pichai and Microsoft’s Satya Nadella. They see a land of opportunity where the government is open and cyber espionage is not a constant threat, as it is in China.

The appeal is obvious to their companies, Facebook, Apple and others. The Indian Internet market could rise to $137 billion by 2020 as Internet access and e-commerce sales soar.

Market swoon making annuities popular Dan Caplinger The Motley Fool

Investors always want the best of both worlds: strong returns during bull markets without the risk of big declines during bear markets. The annuity industry has traditionally sought to give investors what they want, and increasingly, annuity customers are turning to a particular type of insurance product to get the exposure they want.

Although traditional variable annuities remain the most popular product among customers, fixed indexed annuities are gaining in importance, and the way they behave in down markets could be extremely attractive to many annuity buyers.

HOW FIXED INDEXED ANNUITIES ARE SELLING

The market for fixed indexed annuities is growing rapidly. According to a recent report from the Insured Retirement Institute, sales of fixed indexed annuities jumped by nearly a quarter in 2014 to $48 billion, making up more than a fifth of all annuity sales. Moreover, among those annuity distributors that the study surveyed, half believe that fixed indexed annuities

will make up an even larger percentage of their overall annuity sales in the future.

Because traditional fixed annuity rates are based on conditions in the bond market, they’ve been extremely low lately, making fixed indexed annuities compare more favorably because of the possibility of better performance when stock market indexes perform well. The ability to get lifetime income and to protect against loss of principal is worth

the typical trade-offs of accepting capped gains or only partial participation in market gains.

When both the stock market and bond market are in danger of losses, as many think they are now, insurance products with protection against falling markets get the attention of investors looking to reduce their risk.

Yet the report acknowledges that there are challenges with fixed indexed annuities. It characterizes the annuity products as “complex and difficult to understand,” and in response, some annuity distributors have come up with training programs and suitability review processes, in part

to make sure that professional advisors know and understand the products they’re selling to their customers.

Moreover, surrender charges can make these products very expensive for those who change their mind once markets recover.

Around eight out of 10 annuity distributors allow sales of products with surrender charges that last up to nine or 10 years.

ARE FIXED INDEXED ANNUITIES REALLY A FIXED-INCOME SUBSTITUTE?

Even though the returns on these products are linked to stock market returns, customers consistently said that their status as a fixed-income substitute without interest-rate risk was an important consideration in their purchase decision, with more than half saying that factor was extremely or very important. Safety of principal was by far the most dominant reason supporting use of fixed indexed annuities, while participation in stock market gains was far less important.

Half of Millennials merge finances before marriage Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

M

illennials don’t feel the need to put a ring on it in order to open a joint checking account or start racking up points on a shared cash-back credit card.

For them, merging finances is the norm in modern relationships, where couples increasingly choose to shack up sans vows.

The share of both men and women ages 25 to 34 living with a partner has more than doubled from 20 years ago, according to Census data — for men it went from 6.9% in 1995 to 14.7% in 2014, and for women it went from 6% to 14.3%. And that often means that unmarried couples are not only sharing the keys to an apartment but discussing how to budget, creating a division of financial responsibilities and holding each other accountable.

In a recent survey by Credit Karma of both Millennials and Baby Boomers, half of married Millennials had either fully or partially merged finances with their spouse before marriage, compared with a third of Boomers. More than a third said they either relied entirely on joint credit cards or had at least one joint credit card along with individual cards, prior to marriage.

A willingness to combine finances without the legal commit-

ment of marriage is part circumstance — more Millennials are living together — and part comfort level, says Stephany Kirkpatrick, a certified financial planner and vice president of operations and financial advice at budgeting site LearnVest.

“It’s when you find yourself facing money questions together,” she says, plus Millennials as a generation are more comfortable talking openly about money.

For many Millennial couples, moving in together often means keeping separate accounts but paying each other back for shared expenses, or dividing bills so that each person is responsible for a roughly equal share. But despite the growing ease of money transfers through apps such as Venmo, some don’t want to deal with the tedious task of keeping track of who paid for what.

“I just think that’s way too much work,” says Tali Schiller, a 28-year-old who lives in Cambridge, Mass., with her boyfriend, Eli Badra, 29. They share a credit card and a checking account and split expenses 50/50.

“We’re both of a mind of what should be joined and what should be separate,” Schiller says. So, clothes? Separate. A wedding gift for a wedding they’re attending together? Use a joint credit card.

Couples say that successfully combining finances and avoiding tension comes down to trust. But without the legal protection of a marriage license, couples should proceed cautiously, experts say.

Couples are quicker to say ‘I do’ to joint checking and credit cards than they are to step up to the altar

PRE-MERGE CHECKLIST QUESTIONS TO ASK

Before going all in, here are the hard questions to ask: uWHAT DO YOU MAKE? You can’t begin to create a plan for sharing expenses if you have no idea what the other person brings in. Be honest about what you earn and can afford to pay for, says Karen Carr, a certified financial planner with the Society of Grownups. uGOT DEBT? Disclose student loan debt, credit card debt and any other debt; it will affect how you work toward financial goals together, says Ben Barzideh, a wealth adviser with Piershale Financial. If you have a joint credit card, make sure you’re on the same page about what’s fair game to charge.

“We weren’t nervous about combining our credit at all. ... We both trust each other.”

Tali Schiller, 28

Here’s how four Millennial couples have chosen to share expenses:

got a credit card, both solely for wedding expenses. They’ll use the checking account for expenses like rent after they’re married.

“We’ve known for a very long time that we wanted to spend our lives together,” Leder-Luis says.

“So the money aspect we’ve just said, ‘It really doesn’t matter.’ ”

Before they got married, Costello was meticulous about tracking the couple’s expenses with a Google spreadsheet. Although they kept separate bank accounts, the two split bills evenly and paid each other back each time one of them bought something, like gas or groceries. Howard eventually started picking up more expenses, like treating them to dinner, because he was making more money at the time.

Once they were married, they ditched the spreadsheets. They relied entirely on joint accounts, until they realized how draining it was having to check in with each other every time they wanted to make a personal purchase, like clothes. Now they have a joint checking account in addition to personal checking accounts, plus

uWHAT IF WE BREAK UP? What would happen to a joint savings account? What about any debt left on a shared credit card? It may be an uncomfortable conversation, but when you aren’t married, you don’t have the legal protections that come with the union, and you’ll need a contingency plan in place, Carr says. uHOW ABOUT A COHABITATION AGREEMENT? It’s like a prenup, but for unmarried couples, Kirkpatrick says. You can download a template at sites such as LegalZoom.com or LawDepot.com. If your relationship takes a turn, it will give you “something to fall back to that’s not emotional,” Kirkpatrick says.

A TALE OF 4 COUPLES

The couple relies mostly on a chalkboard on a wall in their apartment, where they jot down what they each pay for joint expenses — groceries, the Comcast bill. But the system has always been a bit haphazard, because they sometimes forget to write down when they’ve bought something, and they alternate paying for things so often that it becomes difficult to keep track of their bills.

But Leder-Luis says the system has never caused a fight. They have always had a fairly relaxed approach to combining their financial lives, spotting each other if one person couldn’t pay the other back for several months.

They recently opened a joint checking account, and Leder-Luis

uJOINT CREDIT CARDS OR AUTHORIZED USERS? They aren’t the same thing. If you have a joint credit card, you have the same access to credit and responsibility over the account, says Bethy Hardeman, consumer advocate for Credit Karma. If one partner is an authorized user, they aren’t legally responsible for any debt.

TALI SCHILLER, 28, AND ELI BADRA, 29 RELATIONSHIP: TOGETHER FIVE YEARS. LIVING TOGETHER FOR ONE YEAR IN CAMBRIDGE, MASS. STRATEGY

The idea of tracking expenses independently and staying on top of paying each other back seemed like a hassle, Schiller says. So while she and Badra keep separate bank accounts for personal spending, they have a joint checking account they each contribute $300 a month to, which covers everything from groceries to household bills to meals out.

They also opened a joint credit card, which they charge these

types of expenses to and use the joint checking account to pay off.

They opted for a credit card for better fraud protection and for the cash-back perks.

“We weren’t nervous about combining our credit at all,” Schiller says. “We both have access to it, and we both trust each other.”

The couple split all expenses 50/50 despite having different salaries, “just to keep it egalitarian,” Schiller says.

They have two joint credit cards, primarily for emergencies and larger expenses like plane tickets.

“The small tallying of everyday tasks, including finances, none of that stuff matters anymore,” Costello says. “It’s really freeing and exciting.”

Hanna and Strand have always had a wide divide in incomes.

Strand fronts the couple’s expenses, and Hanna transfers him money for things like groceries and pet insurance, which they divide evenly. She also pays him back a portion of their rent and covers the entire cellphone bill, while Strand covers their utilities.

uASSESS EACH OTHER’S MONEY HABITS: “It’s OK that you are different,” Fick says. “But you want to figure out if you are so different that you can’t stand each other.” You can learn by taking a money attitude quiz or asking about each other’s family and past. uCHECK THOSE CREDIT REPORTS: “You owe it to your partner to come clean and share the good, the bad and the ugly,” Fick says. Besides paying attention to their credit score, look at your partner’s 401(k), IRAs and other accounts to get the whole picture. uCALCULATE YOUR COMBINED CASH FLOW: Knowing how much is coming in vs. how much is going out helps you understand “if you are making enough to live together.” Discuss “if you have more than enough, what are you going to do with it.” Fick recommends couples sit together and put all the numbers into a cash-flow calculator. uCOMPARE YOUR PRIORITIES: Whether you want a big house, vacations or an early retirement affects your financial decisions. “Know what is most important to your partner in life so that you can make sure if you are close to being on the same page financially.” uRUN A BACKGROUND CHECK: “It is sad we need to, but it’s a good thing to do,” Fick says. “Just like no one wants to write a will,” no one wants to do it. “But once you are done, you can move on and don’t need to worry about it.”

Bone-headed

Blunders costly in loss to ISU

By Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

Ames, Iowa — If this is what the smartest college football team in America looks like, the rest of them must have the combined IQ of Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne.

Dumb and Dumber is not just a movie title any more.

It also accurately and completely sums up the way the Jayhawks played Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium on their way to a 38-13 loss to Iowa State in front of a fired-up and friendly ISU crowd of 55,837.

Since taking over last December, first-year KU coach David Beaty has hammered home his hope that, win or lose, his team would be the smartest team in America this season. So far, the Jayhawks (0-4 overall, 0-1 Big 12) have not been anything close to that, and Saturday’s loss had nearly a dozen prime examples that demonstrate why.

From costly penalties at key times to bone-head mistakes, missed assignments and uncharacteristic shortcomings, the Jayhawks rolled out the red carpet for the Cyclones, who jumped to leads of 17-0 at halftime and 31-6 en route to handing Kansas its 35th consecutive loss away from Lawrence.

“I can handle us just getting whipped,” Beaty said.

“It’s hard for me when I look Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos up and I see us making mistakes. That’s disappointing.” KANSAS UNIVERSITY QUARTERBACK MONTELL COZART (2) IS HELPED OFF THE TURF by Kansas offensive linemen Bryan Peters (76), Joe Gibson (77) and Jordan Shelley-Smith after a sack during the second quarter of the Jayhawks’ 38-13 loss to Iowa State on Saturday in Ames, Iowa.

Bad choice: Beaty’s decision-making suspect

KANSAS COACH DAVID BEATY SIGNALS HIS PLAYERS during the fourth quarter.

Ames, Iowa — First-year head football coach David Beaty had four options from which to choose Saturday early in the second quarter of Kansas University’s 38-13 loss to Iowa State in packed Jack Trice Stadium.

Kansas had the ball at the ISU 35 on fourth and three, trailing 3-0.

Technically, punting counted as an option, but since executing a punt that doesn’t roll into the end zone for a touchback that

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

would bring the ball out to the 20 requires excellent skill, it seemed likely no coach would pick that option.

Beaty sent the field-goal unit onto the field, but later hinted that he did so only to see if the defensive alignment was such that it was vulnerable to first down via a fake kick. Since it was not the right defensive look, Beaty scotched that plan, called timeout and discussed the remaining options.

Toward the end of the timeout, Beaty said after the game, the decision was reached to send the punt team onto the field.

But why?

“It was a little too far for us in that third-down situation to think about staying and going for it,” he said, his recollection telling him it was more like four or five yards for a first down. Officially, it was three yards.

Kansas wasn’t getting any push up front, so three yards might as well have been five on a running play. Not a great option, but better than Please see KEEGAN, page 5C

Kansas University sophomore outside hitter Madison Rigdon smashed a matchhigh 11 kills against no errors in the Jayhawks’ 25-14, 25-18, 25-12 volleyball rout of West Virginia on Saturday afternoon in sold-out Horejsi Center.

“It’s because of her. She’s a great setter,” Rigdon said, pointing to Ainise Havili, the country’s leader in assists.

“I’m being so serious,” Rigdon added, responding to smiles from fellow Texan Havili and media members who surrounded the duo after the Jayhawks improved to 15-0 overall, 3-0 in the Big 12.

• Coverage of the Chiefs-Bengals game in Cincinnati AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

Hot QB, team await Kansas City Cincinnati (ap) — First, Peyton Manning beat the Chiefs.

Then, Aaron Rodgers — the NFL’s top-ranked passer — took their defense apart, throwing for five touchdowns last Monday night in Green Bay. Up next is the league’s secondrated passer, also on the road.

Andy Dalton and the Bengals (3-0) intend to prove they should be counted among the league’s elite, too.

“We feel good about where we’re at,” said Dalton, whose passer rating of 121 trails only Rodgers’ 135.4.

“There’s still some things we can do better. We feel like the only thing that can stop us is ourselves. So we’ve just got to keep pushing and be the best we can be.”

Dalton led the Bengals back twice in the fourth quarter to get a win in Baltimore last Sunday and give Cincinnati control of the AFC North. He threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green and a 7-yarder for the clinching score.

Kansas City (1-2) gets no reprieve from its week-by-week matchup against some of the NFL’s top passers. The Chiefs have to do much better this week or they’ll find themselves three games below .500 only a month into the season.

“It’s tough,” linebacker Derrick Johnson said. “They have a really explosive offense and Andy Dalton is one of the young, up-and-coming quarterbacks and has a pretty dynamic receiver that he’s throwing the ball to.

“That team is 3-0. That’s hard to do in this league, even though it’s early. Coming into their house, it’s going to be even harder to beat them. But we have to turn some things around here and that’s what we have to do.”

A win today would let the Bengals match the third-best start in franchise history.

Twice, they’ve started 6-0.

Here are some things to watch at Paul Brown Stadium: Chiefs pass defense: Top cornerback Sean Smith returns from a three-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Cornerback Phillip Gaines tore an ACL against the Packers, so the Chiefs need Smith to play well right away. He feels up to it.

“Just like riding a bike,” Smith said. “One pedal at a time.”

Running on empty: Kansas City needs to get Jamaal Charles comfortable early to prevent Cincinnati from using its blitz packages. The Bengals limited Baltimore to 36 yards on the ground and have the league’s fifth-ranked run defense.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Blind snapper plays for Tulane New Orleans — Tulane long snapper Aaron Golub became the first legally blind person to play in a Div. I football game on Saturday, according to the school.

Golub, a sophomore, snapped on an extra point after the Green Wave’s final touchdown in a 45-31 victory over Central Florida.

Golub has no vision in his right eye and limited vision in his left.

“I’m happy that they gave me a shot, and it just felt great,” said Golub, whose snap was perfect.

“Mentally I was ready. I’ve prepared for it.”

Golub has been playing football since middle school and concentrated on long-snapping to reach his goal of playing collegiately.

“He just works as hard as he can ... and you reward that hard work,” Tulane coach Curtis Johnson said.

Two Harbaughs better than one?

College Park, Md. — Jim Harbaugh was joined on the Michigan sideline Saturday by his brother John, who offered advice and cheered for the Wolverines in a 28-0 win over Maryland.

John Harbaugh usually spends Saturdays during football season getting his Baltimore Ravens ready to play on Sunday. But because the Ravens were in Pittsburgh on Thursday and Michigan was playing nearby, John got the chance to be with his brother.

At the start of the game, John Harbaugh stood at the end of the Michigan bench. By the second quarter, he was standing next to Jim. Afterward, Jim said, “He gave really good input during the game. It was great to have him here.”

The Harbaughs are the only brothers in NFL history to coach against each other in a Super Bowl.

John’s Ravens beat Jim and the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in 2013.

Steelers kick Scobee to the curb Pittsburgh — Josh Scobee’s miserable fourth quarter against the Baltimore Ravens cost him his job.

The Steelers cut the veteran kicker on Saturday, less than 48 hours after a pair of late missed field goals by Scobee helped the Ravens rally for a 2320 overtime victory.

Pittsburgh replaced Scobee on the roster with Chris Boswell, who has spent time with the Houston Texans and New York Giants but has never kicked in a regular-season game.

The Steelers acquired Scobee from Jacksonville on Aug. 31 in exchange for a sixth pick in the 2016 draft following injuries to Shaun Suisham and Garrett Hartley in the preseason. Scobee, the leading scorer in Jacksonville history, made just six of 10 field goals and also missed an extra point.

Mayor pushes to keep Chargers San Diego — In a continuing effort to keep the Chargers from leaving for the Los Angeles area, Mayor Kevin Faulconer says he told NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and three influential owners that San Diego “is absolutely an NFL city.”

Faulconer met with Goodell and separately with John Mara of the New York Giants, Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots and Jerry Richardson of the Carolina Panthers. They are members of the Committee on Los Angeles Opportunities.

The Chargers walked away from negotiations for a new stadium in mid-June.

Faulconer was joined by lead negotiator Chris Melvin and the architectural firm Populous.

Sporting KC tops Timbers, 1-0 Portland, Ore. — Krisztian Nemeth scored in the 83rd minute, and Sporting Kansas City beat the Portland Timbers 1-0 on Saturday night, with both teams jockeying for playoff position.

Kansas City (13-9-9) moved up into the third place in the Western Conference standings, while Portland (12-11-8) fell into a tie for sixth with San Jose — which holds the tiebreaker for the final playoff spot. The Timbers have three games left in the regular season, and the Earthquakes have two.

The Earthquakes and the Vancouver Whitecaps played to a 1-all draw Saturday night.

Nemeth dribbled past three defenders and beat Timbers’ goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey for the lone goal. The sellout crowd at Providence Park booed loudly when the match was final.

LHS volleyball 2-3 at Wells tournament

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

After losing five of its last six matches entering Saturday, Lawrence High’s volleyball team rebounded with a pair of victories at the Joan Wells Invitational at LHS. The Lions (8-19) earned sixth place in the tournament, finishing with a 2-3 record.

In pool play, the Lions beat Dodge City (25-23, 26-24) and lost to Blue Valley West (25-14, 259) and Shawnee Heights (25-8, 25-11). LHS topped Shawnee Mission Northwest in the consolation semifinals (25-19, 25-23) and lost to Blue Valley in the fifth-place match (2515, 25-13).

“We were pleased,” LHS coach Stephanie Magnuson said. “We played well together as a team — better than we have in a while, so that was something that we were looking forward to, and they did a good job with it.”

In the two LHS victories, senior outside hitter/middle blocker Caroline Dykes combined for a team-best 17 kills, drilling spikes past blockers and defensive specialists.

Sophomore Olivia Morgan added nine kills in the wins.

During the victory over SM Northwest, the Lions trailed 18-15 before scoring three straight points, including back-to-back aces by senior libero Ni-

“We finished really well, but we had a slow start,” said sophomore

setter Laurel Bird, who had 58 assists. “Our energy was lacking, and that’s something that we’ve been working on all season. ... I think it’s hard for a lot of teams to stay con-

sistent with their energy, but we’ve come a long way since the beginning of the season.”

Throughout the day, the Lions used a balanced offensive attack, with six players recording at least eight kills: Dykes, Morgan, Nesreen Iskandrani, Kyleigh Severa, Lexi Anglin and E’lease Stafford.

Iskandrani, who finished with 16 kills and only four attacking errors, said an early-morning pep talk from her coach was the key to her strong play. In the final two matches, Iskandrani provided an early spark with kills in the first few points of each set.

“This morning, we watched a bunch of tape, and (Magnuson) read a

bunch of quotes off to us, so that pumped me up,” Iskandrani said.

However, the Lions struggled to stop big runs of points by their opponents in their losses. LHS lost six sets by 10 points or more.

“It was tough,” Bird said. “We always have really hard teams in this tournament, but it always makes us better.”

Magnuson added: “This is a good tournament, with a lot of good competition. At this stage of our season, we need to be playing good teams all of the time. This tournament really affords us that opportunity.”

The Lions will travel to the SM East triangular at 5 p.m. Thursday.

Freshman Lokedi leads Jayhawks to Rim Rock title

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

KANSAS’ EVAN LANDES comes down the home stretch on his way to a firstplace finish Saturday at Rim Rock Farm.

Kansas University freshman cross country runner Sharon Lokedi made an immediate impact in her first collegiate race, as she won the Rim Rock Classic and helped the Jayhawks to a women’s team title.

Lokedi clocked in at 20:42.4 for 6,000 meters, edging runner-up Cali Roper from Rice by six seconds.

“I knew there was a girl from Rice, and what I heard from my teammates, they said she was good, and it (Rice) was a good team,” Lokedi said. “I didn’t want to put down my team, and I said from the beginning to the end, I’m going to fight for it, and I’m going for it.”

The KU freshman from Eldoret, Kenya, led a large pack of Jayhawks up front and made a move at the three-mile mark to surge into the lead. Her teammates remained tightly packed together throughout, as juniors Malika Baker, Courtney Coppinger, Jennifer Angles and Nashia Baker and senior Kelli McKenna placed fifth through ninth, respectively, to give Kansas a winning team total of 23 points.

“It’s always good to see KU up front,” KU coach Stanley Redwine said, “but I think the main thing is that it shows you that the ladies have been training really well.”

Redwine saw more of the same in the men’s 8,000-meter race, with

KU seniors Evan Landes and Jacob Morgan taking the top two spots. The KU men finished second to Iowa State.

After missing the 2014 cross country season due to a sacral stress reaction, Landes showed no signs of rust on his way to a winning time of 23:55.6.

“It’s my senior year, so I just kind of decided to not worry about all of the tertiary stuff and just focus on training and racing, basically,” Landes said. “I felt great throughout. Obviously the last two miles really hurt making a big surge there.

It’s great to be out here.”

Landes was joined by Morgan and Southern Illinois’ Oscar Medina in the top three through three miles, but found an ex-

tra burst in the final two miles to beat out Morgan by 14 seconds.

“The big move we planned on making was after cemetery hill, trying to stretch it out after that and kind of make some people hurt a little bit,” Landes said of his and Morgan’s race strategy.

“That worked out well.

We ended up doing that and then just go for it the last mile and each man for himself really then.”

A 29-second gap between Morgan and KU’s No. 3 runner, Dylan Hodgson, allowed Iowa State to pack up and claim the team championship with 35 points.

The Cyclones clipped the second-place Jayhawks by 12 points, but Landes was encouraged

by the performances of KU’s younger runners.

“I’ve been really impressed with that freshmen class — Dylan Hodgson, Michael Melgares — those guys are really crushing it right now, doing things that none of us were doing as freshmen,” Landes said.

Saturday’s performances from the Kansas men and women gave Redwine a lot of confidence going forward into the team’s next race, Oct. 17 at Pre-Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky. The Jayhawks could add some more experience in their lead pack on the women’s side in two weeks, as they were without junior Hannah Richardson and sophomore Lydia Saggau on Saturday.

BRIEFLY LHS gymnasts 2nd at Newton Newton — Lawrence High’s gymnastics team placed second among five teams Saturday at the Newton Invitational.

Eden Kingery (fourth), Ashley Ammann (sixth) and Jordyn Leon (10th) each placed in the top 10 in allaround scoring for the Lions.

Free State’s Landon Prideaux took 15th in all-around, and the Firebirds finished fifth in the team scoring.

Newton won the meet, followed by Lawrence, Emporia, Olathe South and Free State.

Kingery was second on the beam, third in vaulting and sixth in bars and floor exercise; Ammann was fifth on floor and eighth on bars; and Leon was fourth on bars and eighth in floor.

Baker blasts Peru State Baldwin City — Nick Marra threw for three touchdowns, and No. 8 Baker defeated No. 20 Peru State, 35-10, on Saturday in Heart of America Conference football.

Marra threw touchdown passes of three yards to Damon Nolan, 17 yards to Clarence Clark and 17 yards to Ladai Shawn Boose.

And, yes, Havili had a kill against no errors versus the Mountaineers (510, 0-3).

“She finds attackers and puts them in their best situation to be successful. She’s the real deal,” Bechard added.

Seabury v-ball finishes fourth

Lafayette, Ind. — Kansas University tennis players Smith Hinton and Anastasiya Rychagova placed third in doubles Saturday at the Purdue Invitational. Hinton and Rychagova defeated Notre Dame’s Mary Kloss and Allison Miller, 6-4, for third. They also won singles matches.

Wellsville — Bishop Seabury Academy placed fourth at the Wellsville volleyball tournament on Saturday, posting a record of 2-3.

The Seahawks (19-12 record) defeated West Franklin (25-13, 25-20) and Osage City (25-14, 16-25, 26-24), and fell to Wellsville (25-12, 25-20), Eudora (25-20, 26-24) and Santa Fe Trail (25-11, 25-13).

Senior Taylor Hodge was named to the all-tournament team after filling the stat sheet with 27 kills, 70 digs, six aces, two blocks and one assist.

Other leaders for the Seahawks were Ellen Almanza with 21 kills, 68 digs and four aces; Lindsey Hornberger with 33 kills, 41 digs, four aces and two blocks; Regan Zaremba with 86 assists, two kills, 14 digs, three aces and one block; Celia TaylorPuckett with four kills, 55 digs, five assists, four aces and one block; and Vivian Aubel with 14 kills, 20 digs, one ace and two blocks.

that leads the country in kills and assists and ranks fourth in hitting percentage. KU is one of four remaining unbeatens in the land, joining USC, Arizona State and Washington.

USC and Washington play today, meaning just three will be left unblemished.

“We have a quick, fast, simple offense and a solid defense,” Havili said. “We have a lot of fun playing.

I’m pretty sure it shows.”

Havili, who she started every match as a freshman, was not highly recruited in high school.

She chose the Jayhawks

over San Diego University, committing the summer before her senior year at Haltom High.

“She was late to the scene. We got a tip from somebody who said, ‘This is going to be an elite recruit,’” Bechard said. “By the time she hit her senior year, she’d already committed to us. The club she played on, TAV, they won the national championship. She was the MVP. By then, we’d already gotten her committed. Everybody else is like, ‘Why weren’t we recruiting this kid?’”

LHS runners 7th at Seaman Topeka — Lawrence High’s boys and girls cross country teams both placed seventh out of eight teams Saturday at the Seaman Invitational. Freshman Morgan Jones paced the LHS girls team, placing 15th with a 5,000-meter time of 20:28.95.

Senior Nathan Pederson led the Lions’ boys squad, clocking in at 17:30.18 in the 5,000-meter race for 27th place.

2-MINUTE DRILL Kansas 13 Iowa State 38

HOW THEY SCORED

BRIEFLY Kansas University’s day started with promise in the form of a 10-play, 41-yard opening drive, but that possession ended ominously with a missed field goal. The Jayhawks then punted away seven of their next eight scores (the eighth ended with the half). … Iowa State similarly missed a field goal on its first possession, but made the kick on its second for a lead it would never relinquish. … ISU effectively put it away with TDs on consecutive drives toward the end of the first half. … Most telling stat: ISU averaged 6.6 yards per rush; Kansas 1.2.

KU SCHEDULE

FIRST QUARTER 1:54 — Cole Netten 34 field goal. Both teams came away empty on the opening drives of the game, with each place kicker missing mid-range field goals wide right. But after Iowa State forced KU into a three-and-out on its second drive, Netten responded by drilling a 34-yard attempt that capped an eight-play, 32-yard drive that took 3:28. (ISU 3, KU 0).

SECOND QUARTER 5:40 — Sam B. Richardson 4 run. Netten kick. After a couple of punts, Iowa State struck again with a six-play, 62-yard drive that took 2:33. The drive featured three straight runs by Mike Warren, which opened up Richardson to complete a rollout pass to Justin Chandler for a 30-yard gain that set up the TD two plays later.

(ISU 10, KU 0). :30 — Allen Lazard 9 pass from Richardson. Netten kick. After stuffing the Jayhawks on yet another drive, Iowa State marched 73 yards in seven plays and 1:19 to go up by three scores late in the first half. Richardson completed five straight passes to jump-start the drive and six of seven, the final one coming after an offsides penalty on Kansas gave Iowa State a first down inside the 10. (ISU 17, KU 0).

THIRD QUARTER 9:47 — Mike Warren 62 run. Netten kick.

After sacking KU quarterback Montell Cozart for the third time to end KU’s initial drive of the second half, Iowa State needed just one play to add to its lead.

Warren, who gained 61 yards on seven carries in the first half, needed just one play to top that total in the second half as he raced up the middle and was never touched until he reached the end zone.

(ISU 24, KU 0).

5:36 — Tre’ Parmalee 47 pass from Montell Cozart. Kick failed. After forcing the Cyclones into a rare three-and-out following a punt that pinned ISU inside its own 10, Cozart found Parmalee wideopen over the middle on the Jayhawks’ first play of the drive, and the KU senior sprinted up the seam to the end zone for KU’s first score of the day. (ISU 24, KU 6).

2:15 — D’Vario Montgomery 13 pass from Richardson. Netten kick. Iowa State responded to KU’s first scoring drive of the day with a seven-play, 65-yard drive that took 3:21 and featured a lot of pounding on the ground by the ISU running backs. (ISU 31, KU 6).

FOURTH QUARTER 13:30 — Marcquis Roberts 83 interception return. Nick Bartolotta kick. After marching into Kansas territory and threatening to add to the lead, Richardson was forced from the pocket and threw off balance for an underneath receiver. But the ball sailed past him into the waiting arms of Roberts, who raced, untouched, down the Kansas sideline for the Jayhawks’ second score of the day. (ISU 31, KU 13).

11:34 — Warren 7 run. Netten kick. Iowa State showed no signs of letting up early in the fourth quarter, as Richardson continued to throw the ball down the field and to the edge, which opened up things in the middle for Warren. The big play on the drive came when Richardson hit Jauan Wesley with a 41-yard completion down the ISU sideline one play before Warren’s second TD run of the afternoon.

The drive covered 74 yards in five plays and 1:50. (ISU 38, KU 13).

KU brings out best in ISU

By Tom Keegan Twitter: @TomKeeganLJW

Ames, Iowa — Kansas University’s football losing streak away from Lawrence grew to 35 games Saturday in a 38-13 loss to Iowa State.

And the opponents’ postgame notes had a familiar ring to them, packed with words such as “first” and

“since.” KU brings out the best in its hosts.

Such as: n “First win in a conference opener since 2002 (Kansas).” n “Ended a nine-game conference losing streak.”

And on and on and on.

Cyclones running back Mike Warren set a school freshman record with 175

yards, the most rushing yards by an ISU player since Nov. 18, 2006 (Ryan Kock, 179 vs. Missouri). A 6-foot-1, 200-pound red-shirt freshman from Lawton, Oklahoma, Warren became the only Iowa State freshman to rush for 100 yards in backto-back games. He gained 126 yards in a loss at Toledo.

These miscues might seem like little, perhaps even nit-picky, mistakes.

But when tossed together during the course of a couple of quarters or a complete game, they turn an already incredibly tough task into a nearly insurmountable one.

“We shot ourselves in the foot a lot today,” said KU senior Tre’ Parmalee, who scored the Jayhawks’ lone offensive touchdown on a 47-yard pass from Cozart midway through the third quarter. “When you do that, it limits your chances of winning.”

Added Beaty: “When it happens, what happened to us today is the result. ...

We’ve gotta be better than we were today.”

Other failures that cost KU in its Big 12 opener: n A momentum-stealing missed extra point by Bartolotta following the Parmalee touchdown, about which Beaty said, “It’s difficult to deal with. There’s no doubt.” To make matters worse, KU’s kicking woes continued on the next play when Matthew Wyman’s kickoff sailed out of bounds, giving ISU the ball at the 35. n Cozart, who finished 15of-21 passing for 150 yards and a touchdown, missed three deep balls down the field — including one in which freshman Steven Sims Jr. had two steps on the defender and would’ve scored had he caught it — did not see a wide-open Shakiem Barbel over the middle during a second-half scramble and threw behind running back Ke’aun Kinner (11 carries for 46 yards) in the flat,

Shaun Wilson did one better than that in a 41-3 thrashing of Kansas. He rushed for a school-record 245 yards.

Iowa State’s blockers became the latest to dominate the undersized front of the Kansas defense.

“I give credit to the line,” Warren said. “... They moved people off the ball when I was there.”

which put the brakes on yet another Kansas drive. n A sequence in which Cozart was sacked and injured (left shoulder sprain) during one third-quarter possession, and his replacement, Ryan Willis (8-of-16 for 100 yards in limited action) was sacked for a nineyard loss on the next play. n Parmalee muffing a punt after not calling for a fair catch late in the game.

All of these specific examples say nothing about the missed tackles that continued to plague the defense.

As with any game, there were a few positives for the Jayhawks. Junior linebacker Marcquis Roberts’ pick-six, 83-yard interception return for a touchdown in early in the fourth quarter will wind up on KU’s postseason highlight film. Junior Greg Allen picked up his second interception of the season in the fourth quarter. And freshman Tyrone Miller Jr. continued his torrid start to the season with his second consecutive double-digit tackle game, outdone only by Fish Smithson’s 13 stops.

But despite the handful of individual highlights, six three-and-outs from the Kansas defense and some encouraging moments early (KU trailed just 3-0 after one quarter) and late (when Willis connected on passes of 14, 29 and 38 yards while also rushing for a 13-yard gain), nobody in the Kansas locker room was in the mood to talk about silver linings.

“There were some positive things in there,” Beaty said.

“But we’ve gotta stop living off of winning these little battles. We need continue to work forward on the name of the game, which is winning.”

IOWA STATE RUNNING BACK MIKE WARREN (2) HAS SOME BLOCKERS as he runs into the Kansas University defense deep in the Jayhawks’ territory during the fourth quarter of the Cyclones’ 38-13 victory Saturday in Ames, Iowa. Warren rushed for a school-freshman-record 175 yards against KU.

NOTEBOOK

Cyclones run wild on Kansas ————

Willis gets snaps at QB; RB Mann sick, not hurt

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Ames, Iowa — Few Big 12 Conference football teams are in need of any help on offense, but those that might be struggling in the run game likely just circled their game against Kansas University in the upcoming weeks.

Iowa State, which entered Saturday’s 38-13 victory over the Jayhawks at Jack Trice Stadium averaging just 115 yards on the ground through its first three games, pounded its way to 243 yards on 37 carries and a 6.6-yardsper-carry average.

The Cyclones’ rushing offense, which was led

by Mike Warren’s freshman record of 175 yards on 18 carries, accounted for 47.4 percent of Iowa State’s total offense, more than doubled its season average and outdid Kansas’ ground total of 38 yards on 33 carries more than six to one.

“You want offenses to resort to the pass,” KU sophomore linebacker Joe Dineen said. “But if they don’t have to, then they won’t. And you don’t want them to just keep running the ball. It’s al-

KANSAS OFFENSIVE LINEMAN JORDAN SHELLEY-SMITH WINCES on the bench during the fourth quarter. ways just like one little thing that causes it. Somebody’s out of their gap, and the ball always seems to find the missed gap. It happens in practice, too.

It happens all over. And that’s where we need to really bear down and get to work and correct our problems.”

Given that the Jayhawks (0-4 overall, 0-1 Big 12) are surrendering 252 rushing yards per game to opponents this season, KU coach David Beaty said his team knows what’s coming.

“It wasn’t surprising to me that (ISU) coach (Paul Rhoads) ran the football

at us,” Beaty said. “And they executed very well.

We have to do a great job of playing technique, being assignment-sound, and then we’ve gotta get bigger and stronger so we don’t get moved quite as much and those holes get smaller. We’ve got a lot of work to do. We’re not there yet.”

Added junior linebacker Marcquis Roberts: “Everybody’s gonna try to come in and run the ball on us. We just have to stop it.”

Willis gets action After entering the game on KU’s third offen-

sive series — in a move Beaty said was planned — freshman quarterback Ryan Willis finished the game under center for the Jayhawks when starter Montell Cozart was knocked out by a shoulder injury late in the third quarter.

Willis, who had not played since taking two snaps in the Week One loss to South Dakota State, finished 8-of-16 for 100 yards and looked more comfortable with each play.

“Obviously, he’s the next man up, and his turn has come,” Beaty said of the Bishop Miege graduate. “We wanted to let him get in there and get some real-world experience.”

With junior Deondre Ford (thumb) sidelined for an unknown period of time and the extent of Cozart’s injury not yet known, Willis quickly has become an important part of the KU offense, and several of his teammates already appear to be comfortable with that.

“He has a really live arm, a lot of velocity on his ball,” senior and fellow Miege grad Tre’ Parmalee said. “He’s a young

guy. He’s still learning the game, but he’s making his reads right, he’s throwing the ball well, and that’s what we expect of him.”

Mann ailing Senior running back De’Andre Mann, who had been in a time-share situation with junior tailback Ke’aun Kinner during recent weeks, played only limited snaps and finished with three yards on two carries.

“He’s not hurt. He’s not injured. He was sick coming into the game,” Beaty said. “He was available, but it was one of those deals where throughout the week Taylor Martin practiced pretty good, (and) there was some competition there.”

Martin (four carries, 11 yards) and Ryan Schadler (two carries, five yards) filled in for Mann on a day when KU’s running game struggled to just 38 yards on 33 carries.

“It’s not just the O-line up front,” Beaty said of the back-to-back subpar weeks. “It’s our guys in the running game and the guys on the perimeter blocking well. It takes all 10, plus the guy carrying the ball to get that done.”

choosing to give the ball to the other team.

Predictably, Eric Kahn’s punt rolled into the end zone for a touchback, meaning KU willingly surrendered possession to gain a mere 15 yards of field position.

The situation called for an aggressive play, not a passive one.

Attempting a 52-yard field goal counts as aggressive. Beaty repeatedly has praised the strength of Matthew Wyman’s foot. Wyman’s chance to show it off in the season-opening loss to South Dakota State died with Montell Cozart’s botched snap.

This time, Beaty denied Wyman the chance.

Again, why?

“There was a little bit of wind coming into his face on that end, and that was the only thing that kind of really held me from letting him try it,” Beaty said.

Actually, when Beaty sent the field-goal unit onto the field, I checked the orange flags at the tops of the uprights, and they showed the wind was at the kicker’s back.

Letting Wyman try to tie the score seemed the best risk-rewards play.

Once Kahn’s punt rolled into the end zone, the air went out of KU quicker than any Tom Brady football.

Had Wyman made a 52-yarder, Kansas gets a charge of confidence and maybe the game stays close for a while longer.

Beaty said the emotional lift of three points there was among the things running through his head.

“Absolutely,” he said.

“There are some things you always go back and forth on at that point. I felt like it was better to give them good field position, rather than have them that close to the 50-yard line.”

Obviously, the issues up front that have prevented Kansas from stopping the run or running the football with any success the past weeks, don’t vanish with a long field goal. Iowa State wins the game regardless, but that’s not the point.

Once Kansas can recruit its way to playing a number of close games, Beaty will be presented with make-or-break decisions and will need to show better judgment than he did Saturday with a chance to tie the score early in the game.

Nationals 3-2, Mets 1-0 New York — Max Scherzer pitched his second no-hitter this season for Washington, striking out a team-record 17 and leading the Nationals over NL East champion New York Mets on Saturday night for a doubleheader sweep.

Only one batter reached base against Scherzer, and that came when third baseman Yunel Escobar bounced a throw for an error on Kevin Plawecki’s leadoff grounder in the sixth inning.

The righty became just the sixth pitcher to throw two no-hitters in a year, and the first since Roy Halladay in 2010.

BIG 12/TOP 25 ROUNDUP

Late kick lifts OSU past K-State The Associated Press

Big 12 No. 20 Okla. St. 36, Kansas St. 34 Stillwater, Okla. — Ben Grogan made a 37yard field goal with 32 seconds remaining to lift Oklahoma State past Kansas State on Saturday.

Grogan rebounded to make the winner after having an extra point blocked. Last week, he made field goals from 41 and 40 yards in the final 1:33 to give the Cowboys (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) a 30-27 victory at Texas.

After the Wildcats (3-1, 0-1) built a 28-13 lead late in the second quarter, the Cowboys rallied to take a 33-28 lead on Mason Rudolph’s three-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Sheperd with 6:06 to go.

Joe Hubener scored on an eight-yard run to give K-State a 34-33 advantage with 3:01 left. The quarterback returned in the fourth quarter after spending most of the game on the sideline because of an apparent head injury.

MISSING PIECES

Exhibit contains never-before-seen works by renowned artist, KU professor Albert Bloch

I

t was about two years ago that Ben Ahlvers first visited Albert Bloch’s old house at 1015 Alabama St. From the outside, the Victorian-era home appeared just like any other along the treelined avenue — simple, woodenframed, with concrete steps leading up to the front porch and an air-conditioning unit protruding from the third-story window.

But while the neighborhood surrounding the house changed over the years — most of the old family homes in the Oread area have since been divided into apartments to house students from nearby Kansas University

— the old white house remained remarkably the same, Ahlvers recalls.

Or, perhaps more accurately, one room of the old white house, which belonged to Bloch, the world-renowned painter and former KU professor of art.

“The studio, in my eye, was this time capsule,” Ahlvers says of the space where Bloch created some of his most original and expressive works from 1923, when he arrived in Lawrence, up until the years before his death in 1961.

A handful of those works — 30 oil paintings, 16 watercolors — are now on display in an exhibition curated by Ahlvers, the

Lawrence Arts Center exhibitions director, and Bloch scholar David Cateforis, who currently chairs KU’s art history department.

Perhaps best known for his association with The Blue Rider, a Munich-based group of Modernist artists active in the 1910s, Bloch served as head of KU’s drawing and painting department from 1923 to 1947.

The majority of the pieces in “Albert Bloch: Themes and Variations. Paintings and Watercolors from the Albert Bloch Foundation,” which opened late

last month and will remain at the Arts Center until early January, had never been displayed publicly before.

Most of the watercolors, Ahlvers notes, had never left Bloch’s studio. Not even in the 50 years following his death.

What Ahlvers — and Cateforis, who helped reignite scholarly interest in Bloch’s work with his 1990s research campaign — found at the top of the narrow, twisted staircase at 1015 Alabama St. was, indeed, a time capsule.

y wife doesn’t accompany me on many Journal-World photo assignments. But the moon has been a close friend of hers since she was young, so she joined me to chase the harvest moon and eclipse Sept. 27.

She quickly learned that it wasn’t going to be a romantic activity. Most of the evening involved driving in circles, with me desperately seeking

out scenes to frame the moon. I’m afraid she now equates a full moon with car sickness.

A full moon rising presents challenges for a photographer. First of all, the moon moves quickly in relationship to foreground landmarks in your frame. And the longer the focal length of your lens, the faster the moon will move through the frame.

A rom-com that keeps it real Alison Brie, Jason Sudeikis have hard-earned chemistry in ‘Sleeping with Other People’

T

he biggest curse of modern romantic comedies is that they can be too clean. No, I don’t mean the absence of rough language and nudity. I’m talking about how nice and tidy — and full of crap — rom-com screenplays can be when they follow the formula but leave out the authenticity.

Movies that deal with affairs of the heart should be messy. Relationships are messy. They are chock full of give and take. And fear; lots of fear.

Attraction between two people is rarely mutual for extended periods — and never in equal measure.

To make matters worse, people in love make boneheaded decisions on a regular basis.

In her first two films — 2012’s underrated “Bachelorette” and the fine new comedy “Sleeping with Other People,” now playing at Liberty Hall — writer/director Leslye Headland has proven she understands this. She has a knack for taking familiar rom-com situations and injecting into them a hardcore dose of truth. Truth can be uncomfortable, but as both of these movies illustrate, it can be riotously exhilarating as well.

Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie are their usual charming selves in “Sleeping with Other People,” but they are also damaged goods. This isn’t one of those dumb movies where attractive people play nerdy and only “get sexy” once they get their confidence.

No, Jake (Sudeikis) and Lainey (Brie) are already having a lot of sex — Jake with every girl in New York, and Lainey with a married doctor (Adam Scott) who keeps stringing her along.

Lainey’s obsession with the doctor isn’t just some cute subplot to create the eventual third-act breakup and reconciliation — it’s long-term, and downright dangerous, having held her back emotionally for her entire adult life.

Jake acknowledges that his swinger mentality may be a problem on some sort of deep level, but outwardly, he dismisses it with the same casual flirty tendency that he uses to lure women into bed.

For Sudeikis, this is a chance to augment his usual quick wit and comic timing with some darkness. It’s not a lack of commitment holding him back from a real connection — it’s an intense fear of his own worst tendencies.

For Brie, it’s a chance to ditch the bubbly character she played on “Community” and more fully explore the vulnerability she exhibited on “Mad Men.” It’s the highlight of both actors’ careers — and the chemistry that’s so important to rom-coms is here in spades.

Even more so than this summer’s breakout Amy Schumer hit “Trainwreck,” “Sleeping with Other People” isn’t afraid to spotlight the frailty and stupidity of its characters. Where Schumer’s moral compass follows a more traditional path to self-awareness, Headland’s characters’ selfdestructive tendencies aren’t struck down — or explained away — so simply. Whatever’s special that Jake and Lainey

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com have is hard-earned, and the movie is better for it.

‘The Martian’ For all of the plaudits Ridley Scott’s space exploration drama “The Martian” has been receiving for its scientific accuracy, it should get at least as many for its avoidance of weepy melodrama.

Yes, astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon at his most Matt Damon-y) is stranded on Mars with no conceivable hope of rescue. Thanks to screenwriter Drew Goddard (adapting from Andy Weir’s 2011 ebook), however, the movie becomes a briskly moving thriller about plucky American spirit, highlighted of course by a MacGyveresque ability to solve any problem.

There’s no time for kissing photos of loved ones back home on Earth.

Mark isn’t even married — and he doesn’t have kids either (how dare a Hollywood script leave that opportunity unexploited).

“The Martian” is an efficiently plotted story about a life-or-death crisis bringing out the best in people, and it’s a joy to see Scott operate in this arena after the lugubrious excess of “Exodus: Gods and Kings” and “The Counselor.”

If there’s one fault to find in this inspiring tale, it’s that Damon’s botanist/engineer is just too smart, generous and self-effacing to be a real human being. But to say that would be too cynical — a trait this film is hiding away in the same cupboard, thankfully, with all of the schmaltz.

‘Sicario’ On the 100 percent opposite side of the spectrum as “The Martian” lies a movie of astounding technical achievement with a heart even blacker and uglier than you may imagine the U.S./Mexico bordertown drug wars to be.

“Sicario” stars a mysterious Benicio Del Toro and a cocky Josh Brolin as leaders of a U.S.-led anti-cartel task force that knows no moral boundaries. Emily Blunt is the audience’s stand-in as a

Dread permeates every

moment of “Sicario,” and cinematographer Roger Deakins will likely net his 13th Oscar nomination for his gritty, agile work.

Sunday, October 4, 2015 The town — which was smaller and more isolated in those days, before becoming a hotbed of counterculture activity in the late 1960s — gave Bloch a quiet place in which to pursue his creative goals.

Bloch failed to mention his association with The Blue Rider during his application process to KU, perhaps because he was worried about being seen as a radical who might not fit in with his Midwestern colleagues, or maybe, Cateforis speculates, he was just being modest.

That’s the kind of guy he was, right until the end. At the time of his death, five decades after his first dalliance with fame in The Blue Rider, Bloch was living a simple life in Lawrence.

enduring.”

You won’t see planes or automobiles or any 20th century technology in Bloch’s work. Painting, Cateforis says, allowed Bloch to “turn his back on the modern world.”

In Lawrence, he “lived privately,” says Cateforis, retreating from the urban glamour of the European art scene and exhibiting only by invitation. An idealist, Bloch rejected art as a commercial enterprise. Instead, he saw it as a higher calling.

He was not out there hustling for shows and seeking recognition,” Cateforis says. “He was very happy teaching at KU, working on his watercolors, writing his poems, corresponding with his friends and producing work — work that might not be seen by a lot of people, but, he was content just living a creative life.”

had lost a bit of sheen.

But Bloch, it appears, was “comfortable with the path he took,” Cateforis says.

He’d built a legacy with his students at KU, and, thanks to art scholars like Cateforis, Bloch is now regarded as an important figure in American art.

“The result is the work you see at the Lawrence Arts Center, which I think exhibits the integrity and dedication to the pursuit of his creative vision,” he says. “It’s so personal and unconcerned with fashions and the march of art history.”

Throughout his career, both abroad and amid the rolling, remote hills of northeast Kansas, “Bloch pursued his own path.”

Moon CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

I had a telephoto lens of around 400mm, mounted on a tripod.

When we pulled into a parking lot behind Kansas University’s CarruthO’Leary Hall, we were high above Lawrence and had a great view of the harvest moon above the eastern horizon.

The Oread Hotel was also to the east, between us and the moon, and at about the same height as we were. I realized the moon lined up with the top deck of the hotel if I shifted my position a little. But by the time I set my tripod and framed the scene the moon had already moved higher.

To give myself another opportunity at the same shot, I ran down the hill to a spot that would recreate the same angle.

This time, as the moon again cleared the top of the Oread, I was ready.

Soon I realized my second challenge. The moon is very bright.

To the naked eye, the moon and the hotel were clearly legible, but in my exposures the moon was so much brighter it washed out all detail.

As I reduced my exposure setting I correctly exposed for the moon leaving the hotel underexposed. Now I recognized I could silhouette people on the top of the hotel against the brighter surface of the moon. My exposure on the moon over The Oread was 1/250th shutter-speed, f4.5 aperture and ISO 500.

I settled on the Campanile at KU. By the time of the eclipse, the moon was higher in the sky, so the height of the Campanile ensured that I would be able to keep the moon framed against the Lawrence landmark.

I wanted to make the moon larger in the frame, so I used only a side of the Campanile’s illuminated stone surface. In eclipse, the moon was much darker than my foreground object and my exposure was 1/40th shutter-speed, f2.8 aperture and ISO 1600.

Of the three photographs from that night, the most unusual is the one that captured an airplane against the moon at the halfway point of the eclipse.

When I first reviewed my images on my computer I told my wife I thought I had a large piece of dust on my camera sensor on one frame.

When I enlarged the image and saw the plane I was stunned. I may have even howled. Complete and total luck. The exposure was a shutter-speed of 1/500th, f5.6 aperture and ISO 500.

At 6 p.m., zombies will take to Massachusetts Street for their annual walk from South Park. The bibliozombies among them will continue their stroll to Abe & Jake’s Landing, where they will have a rare opportunity to hear Karen Russell, one of America’s great creative writers, speak on “Literary, Geographic and Ghostly Influences.”

It is only fitting that Karen Russell’s visit to Lawrence coincides with the Zombie Walk. After all, Russell has made her mark writing stories about such oddities as a family that operates an alligator wrestling theme park in the Florida Everglades,

POET’S SHOWCASE Prey... What?

ALICIA BOGNANNO AND BULLY will be performing Friday at the Bottleneck.

Bully to bring raw rock to the Bottleneck

By Fally Afani Special to the Journal-World

If you’ve been missing that ’90s, alternative rock vibe, Bully might be the band for you.

When they play the Bottleneck on Thursday, fans will get to indulge in that classic garage rock sound from the Nashvillebased band.

They’ll also be able to hear frontwoman Alicia Bognanno seamlessly alternate between high-pitched vocals during the verses and Kurt Cobain-esque screams into the mic on the choruses, as exemplified in the band’s single, “Trying.”

Bully will be performing at 9 p.m. Thursday at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., along with Heat and Fake Limbs. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $12 and are available for purchase at thebottlenecklive.com. nanno says. “But it’s nice to see how many people are going to the show for your band specifically, see how they react from song to song. It’s important to get out there.”

The studio experience A Minnesota native, Bognanno is comfortable playing in the Midwest, and notes that’s where you can find people who “enjoy going out to shows and care about music.” But it’s her old stomping grounds in Chicago that made a big impact on her career. That’s where she interned at Electrical Audio, a studio founded by Steve Albini, who’s worked with Nirvana, The Pixies, and countless other rock royalty.

“I’m influenced by a ton of bands that came up to Chicago, and the history of the rock and roll scene,” Bognanno says.

“Being at that studio was an extremely amazing experience. It was cool to be around professional engineers who are so proficient with analog recording and do it every day… just to be around people who are really helpful and will let you pick their brain.”

Carrying this type of knowledge proves valuable to a female-fronted band on the road.

Bognanno says sometimes,

a sound engineer at a venue doesn’t always come to her first.

“We always make sure, when we pull up to a venue, that the sound engineer is talking the mix with me and the rest of the band because a lot of times, they’ll approach one of the guys,” she says. “A lot of people who come to our shows know there’s a zero tolerance of any sort of sexism. We’re usually around cool people like that.”

But once they hit the stage, the band is a force to reckon with. Bognanno’s vocals have an aggressive dynamic that’s been mostly absent from rock bands in the last 20 years, and the band delivers an animated and potent performance alongside her.

“I think this sort of raw energy comes out. We’re pretty good about not hamming things up, or jumping around because feel like we have to,” says Bognanno of her highly personal music. “I still kind of relate to all the lyrics I wrote. So naturally, it’s easy to be passionate about playing every night, and everyone enjoys it and everyone wants to get better.”

Performing these intimate songs in such a vigorous manner night after night can be challenging, but Bognanno calls it “an outlet.”

“It feels really good, it’s a form of therapy or something.

For me, writing songs is really important to keep my head on straight,” she says. “Whether or not we keep making records, or if people listen to them, it really doesn’t matter because I’m going to do it either way.”

Getting out Bully is just part of the wave of guitar rock currently overtaking the poplar music scene (think Wavves). Bognanno finds it “refreshing.”

“It’s nice to hear instruments and listen to people playing them,” she says. “It makes for a very entertaining and very energetic show.”

Bully’s electrifying stage presence has caught a lot of attention after appearing on Conan and at SXSW earlier this year, and the band has been invited to tour with the likes of Best Coast and Jeff the Brotherhood (most recently, FIDLAR has asked them to join them on a European tour).

KANSAS CITY CONNECTION

By Lucas Wetzel

Getting pumped for postseason baseball

H

appy October, dear readers. I hope everyone is maintaining a nice pumpkin spice latte buzz and getting ready for another exciting season of playoff baseball. I know I am.

Success in the MLB postseason is hardly a sure thing (along with tickets to the games), however, so Royals fans seeking a guaranteed good time at Kauffman Stadium should check out the free postseason rally on Tuesday from 12:15 to 2:15 p.m. The stadium opens at 11:15 a.m.

The free event will be hosted by Royals broadcasters Ryan Lefebvre and Rex Hudler, and will include visits with Royals General Manager Dayton Moore, Manager Ned Yost and Royals players. Sluggerrr and the KCrew will entertain fans and distribute Royals prizes and more, while team stores will be open selling official postseason merchandise.

Kansas City’s first games of the postseason — opponent TBD — will be Oct. 8 and 9 at

at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 and up at jccc.edu.

Kauffman Stadium. Visit royals.mlb.com for more updates.

JCCC events Two interesting events will be taking place this weekend on the Johnson County Community College Campus at 12345 College Blvd.

On Friday at Yardley Hall, the National Circus and Acrobats of the People’s Republic of China will present “Peking Dreams.� This Beijingbased ensemble features acrobatics and dance, elaborate costumes and a stage routine that inspired the creators of Cirque du Soleil. Tickets start at $17 at jccc.edu, and a pre-concert meal is also available for purchase.

On Saturday at JCCC’s Polsky Theatre, The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble will perform a set including selections from Mozart’s “Divertimento in D Major,�

Strauss’ “Till Eulenspiegel� and Schubert’s “Octet in F Major for Winds and Strings.� The eight-person ensemble performs at 8 p.m., with a pre-show talk

Concerts The pioneering electronic music act Kraftwerk hasn’t visited Kansas City in 40 years, but the band from Dßsseldorf is bringing its 12city tour to Arvest Bank at the Midland Theatre on Friday at 8 p.m.

The concert features 3-D animations projected behind four performing musicians in futuristic attire, and based on clips I’ve been from other stops on the tour, Kraftwerk fans are in for a treat. Tickets are still available at midlandkc. com starting at $59.50.

Tonight at recordBar, the People’s Liberation Big Band performs its customary first Sunday of the month concert — one of the final three in this space before the decade-old music venue is forced to relocate at the end of 2015. Tickets are $5 at the door.

II 2015 Residency on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, a gala and showcase of performances by different dancers and choreographers.

Tickets for the showcases, which take place on Thursday and Friday at 7:30 p.m. and on Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Folly Theater, start at $25 and can be purchased at follytheater.org.

Dance enthusiasts can also buy tickets to see the Kansas City Ballet’s

season-opening production of “The Three Musketeers,� which runs from Oct. 9 through 18 at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.

The performance includes the music of Giuseppe Verdi performed by the Kansas City Symphony, with choreography by Andre Provosky.

Tickets to “The Three Musketeers� range from $29 to $119 and can be purchased at kcballet.org.

From Wednesday

through Oct. 18, the touring musical “Wicked� will be performed at the Music Hall of Kansas City.

Tickets for the 16 different performances start at $53 (with most significantly higher) and are available at ticketmaster.com. — Lucas Wetzel is a writer and editor from Kansas City, Mo.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Counseling could be key for defeated marriage Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 24 years, and it feels like we are roommates with kids.

We are opposites and always have been, but it seems as if we have fallen out of sync completely.

He has never been outgoing, whereas I am a social butterfly. Our kids have never seen us kiss, hold hands or show any other form of affection and that really bothers me. It’s not that we hide it from them — it’s that we don’t do it at all.

I know I am to blame for many of our problems as I brought a lot of baggage with me.

I have apologized to my husband numerous times, but he has only once taken responsibility for his part of it. For the past 12 years, any so-called downtime

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

he has is spent on the computer.

When I try to talk to him, he stares at me and doesn’t offer any input. Every conversation is about superficial, common interests, but when it comes to deeper, more meaningful talks, he goes mute.

A couple of times, I have tried to have a discussion and instead of replying, he texted me snide comments. It is so incredibly frustrating that I am starting

‘Home Fires’ heads back to 1939 Has “Masterpiece” found a winning formula? Or is it stuck in a bit of a cozy rut? “Home Fires” (7 p.m., PBS) becomes the latest in a string of imported U.K. costume dramas set during war, when the absence of men challenged women to cast off class labels and gender assumptions and reach their full potential.

Opening in August 1939, “Fires” stars Samantha Bond (“Downton Abbey”) as Frances Barden, a forwardthinking society w o m a n who wants to wrest control of the local Women’s Institute.

The service organization has been controlled by the tradition-bound snob Joyce Cameron (Francesca Annis). Cameron is first seen trying to deny a woman a teaching job because she’s “too urban” and then trying to shut down the institute for the duration of the war, lest it fall prey to an undesirable sort and, worse, alien new ideas.

“Fires” asks viewers to exult in small triumphs, such as women from every class banding together to make blackberry jam for the war effort.

After a harrowing year in Pakistan, “Homeland” (8 p.m., Showtime) opens its fifth season with Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) on much safer ground. She’s in Germany.

And in the first scene, she’s in church.

At first, “Homeland” seems to be about the new Carrie. She’s left the agency, taken a job with a big German philanthropy and settled down with a nice guy.

She’s even being a doting mother to that baby she’s ignored for so long.

But that doesn’t last long.

“Homeland” has a spooky way of mirroring and anticipating real events in the war on terror. And season five not only touches on a Snowden-like leak of classified material, it travels to the Middle East, where chaos in Syria threatens Europe itself with an ocean of refugees.

Who’da thunk that?

to resent everything about him.

I have mentioned divorce, but he ignores me. I feel I am suffocating a slow, painful demise and I don’t know what to do. I want to laugh again. I want him to be happy, as well. He is the father of our children and I am grateful, but at what point is it enough?

Is it selfish to want to put myself first for a change? I had hoped we could part as friends, but now we’re beginning to hate each other and he doesn’t seem to care. The stress is eating at me.

— Hopeless and Confused Dear Hopeless: Whatever baggage you brought into the marriage matters less than the current lack of communication. While there are still some

men who are reluctant to discuss their feelings (and some women who are too demanding on that score), your husband’s dismissive and snarky attitude is what hurts.

We understand that you are ready to throw in the towel, but please first see whether the marriage is worth saving, not only for your sake, but also for your children.

Ask your doctor to refer you to a counselor and then ask your husband to go with you for at least one session. As always, if he refuses, go without him.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, Oct. 4: This year could be very important, as far as your public image and career are concerned. You will be noticed. Remember the importance of being authentic, too. If you are single, you meet people with ease. If you are attached, the two of you move to a new level of understanding.

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 can’t ignore the tension around you, but you might not be sure as to the best way to eliminate it, either. Let it go.

Tonight: Ignore all the chatter.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might want to straighten out a misunderstanding before it becomes much more.

Tonight: Stay in the here and now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Make sure your checking account is balanced before you leap into action. Tonight: Make it easy.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You feel in tune with others, even if they are having a disagreement. A call from a distance could trigger a fantasy.

Tonight: Avoid a power play.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Try to play it low-key today. You’ll want to reassess a situation involving a close loved one. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

jacquelinebigar.com

You might have plans, but keeping them could be difficult, as an unexpected group of friends seems to seek you out.

Tonight: Forgive and forget.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Take a stand and understand that others might not agree. In fact, they probably won’t.

Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep stretching past self-imposed limits, even though you might need a friend to help you with this process. Tonight: Be imaginative.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Make this a special day with the one you love. You can be spontaneous and just take off.

Tonight: All smiles.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be so determined to make a point that you forget who you are with and that you do not need to push so hard.

Tonight: Live it up.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Push as hard as you need to. You have a lot to get through, and quite quickly at that.

Tonight: Don’t allow stress to build.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Take your cues from a loved one. Get away from the daily grind, and don’t think about work.

Tonight: Love the one you’re with.
