Kansas tax collections fall $45M short of mark of the last 12 months, the Kansas Department of Revenue said Monday that taxes flowing into state coffers came up short again in September, this time by $44.7 million.

That report puts the state in a precarious

Topeka — Another month, another shortfall in tax collections for the state of Kansas.

For the fifth consecutive month, and 10th out

budget situation. When lawmakers finally wrapped up their business at the end of a special session in June, the budget they had passed was expected to leave the state with only a $5 million balance at the end of

the fiscal year.

Since then, though, total revenues — including both tax and nontax sources of state general fund revenues — have come in $67 million short. That means even if revenues turn around and meet

projections for the rest of the year, the state would still end the year about $62 million in the hole.

The biggest contributors to the September shortfall were personal income taxes, which were $14.2 million short; retail

sales taxes, which were $9.4 million short; and corporate income taxes, which were off by $17.5 million.

Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said that individual

City to consider hiring consultant

City CommissionStuart Boley ers Stuart Boley, Matthew Herbert and Leslie Soden, all elected last year, campaigned on the notion that previous commissioners were overusing financial incentives for economic development. Boley said he thinks three things about incentives need to be figured out: the approval process, the cost to the community and the public benefit.

“So there are three different things that we have to try to come to grips with, in my opinion,” Boley said.

During recent discussions on economic development, gap analysis was identified as a key tool to evaluate whether a project needed incentives to proceed, according to the city recommendation. Boley said he thought the consulting services look like something that will address the process.

“Instead of us figuring out what the gap

RICHARD 'BEAU' ROMSTEDT Funeral services for Beau Romstedt, 31, rural Douglas County, will be at 2 pm Friday at Lawrence First Church of the Nazarene, 1470 N. 1000 Rd., with Pastor Mark Halford officiating, Burial will follow in Oakwood Cemetery, Baldwin City, after a stop at the dirt track in Vinland. Beau died Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2016, at 3:57 pm, at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.

He was born Apr. 10, 1985, in Lawrence, the son of Randy and Connie French Romstedt.

He graduated from Baldwin High School in 2004. Beau owned and operated New Era Roofing since 2009, and also began Romstedt Acquisitions last year. He enjoyed riding his Harley, motocross racing, and going on spontaneous vacations with his wife and children.

Beau met Niki eight years ago, and they were married Aug. 8, 2015. She survives of the home.

is, this company, this nonprofit, can help us do that,” Boley said. “They don’t live in Lawrence, they’re not here, this is what they do for a living for people all around the country, so it’s not like they’re biased (toward) development.”

City staff put out a bid for the services in August, and is recommending an agreement with National Development Council. The agreement would cost the city $6,150 per month, and city staff is proposing the commission authorize the city to arrange a six-month agreement, with a possible six-month extension.

Though Boley recognized the need for such analysis, he said he wasn’t prejudging what the services could accomplish.

“I’m real interested in what these folks have to say,” he said. “And what the presentation will be (today) to try to come to some common understanding of what the process will be for approving the incentives.”

Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard said that if approved by the commission, the consultant would help inform the city’s approach to economic development.

Stoddard said that NDC would meet with applicants for incentives and appear at public hearings, and that the goal would be to clearly determine the need for incentives by identifying the difference between projected and expected market returns.

Two city boards are in the process of providing commissioners recommendations for proposed changes to the city’s incentives policies. Ideas from the boards will be sent to the commission, which will have a work session on the issue on Oct. 11.

Consultants will also advise the city on its efforts to create more affordable housing options in Lawrence. Affordable housing has been designated through national health rankings as a “severe” problem in Douglas County, and the City Commission has named it one of its main goals to address.

During the monthly visits, consultants will meet with city staff, commissioners and members of the Affordable Housing Advisory Board, Stoddard said. The advisory board is also in the process of drafting policy recommendations.

Stoddard said the consultants could help the city gather more information for its affordable housing initiative.

“We will be looking to gain expertise on other projects that they have been involved with in other areas of the country,” Stoddard said.

City commissioners will vote on whether to approve the service agreement at their meeting at 5:45 p.m. today at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.

BOBBY LEWIS COFFMAN Bobby (Bob) Lewis Coffman passed from this life while at home with his family on October 3, 2016.

Bob was born May 10, 1930 in Lawrence, Kansas to Charles Lewis and Dorothy (Jennings) Coffman. Bob joined the U.S. Navy in 1950 and served four years during the Korean War. After his discharge from the Navy he attended and graduated from Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas with a degree in Business Administration.

He studied toward his Master’s degree at Central Missouri State University.

While at Bethany he met and married Janet Lotspeich. After college he worked for the Kansas City Star selling display advertising. He was very knowledgeable regarding the printing industry and worked and taught at Johnson County Community College until he retired in 1990. Bob and Janet are members of Timothy Lutheran Church in Blue Springs, MO. Bob loved to hunt and fish and spend time at their cabin by Lake Perry.

He loved animals, especially his dog Ginger.

He also spent a lot of time with Conn, a neighbor's dog at the Lake. He loved feeding the birds, deer and throwing hotdogs to the little fox along the road. When he could no longer go to the cabin, he fed peanuts to the squirrels (one of which would knock at the door if there were no peanuts and he would immediately throw out more peanuts).

He named his favorite squirrel Buddy and the chipmunk that hung around our house for over a year was named Chippy.

He loved all nature and enjoyed reading about and watching programs regarding History.

He enjoyed all sports, especially KU basketball and Big 12 football. He also enjoyed watching his grandchildren play baseball and football.

Voting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The deadline in Kansas to register for the November election is Oct. 18.

“High voter turnout is always helpful to us in the Democratic Party,” said Cheyenne Davis, the party’s Kansas field director.

The Republican-led Legislature in Kansas passed a law that since January 2013 has required documentary proof of U.S. citizenship — such as a birth certificate, passport or naturalization papers — to register to vote. But recent court decisions have blocked Kansas from requiring those documents from people who register when getting their driver’s license or when using the national form, which simply requires people to attest they are citizens.

The Kansas Democratic Party website links to the national form; the state’s GOP’s website has no links to any voter registration form.

“To each their own, I suppose,” Davis said of GOP efforts. “Obviously these laws were put in place by people in their party.”

Recent court decisions have blocked Kansas from requiring proof-ofcitizenship documents from people who register when getting their driver’s license or when using the national form, which simply requires people to attest they are citizens. successfully registered by the League of Women Voters fell by more than 85 percent in three counties, nearly 70 percent in another, and two other counties suspended all registration efforts.

In the wake of that decision, the League is now advising its volunteers to register people using the federal form in its registration drives at universities, high schools, churches, retirement homes, naturalization ceremonies and other drive locations.

“Volunteers are willing to go out now — it has increased activity tremendously,” said League co-president Carole Neal.

Kansas Democrats, who have been using the federal registration form since 2015, are also boosting their voter registration efforts at farmers markets, community festivals, canvassing efforts and phone outreach.

Federal law also requires county election offices to make the national form available to registrants.

Revenue CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

income taxes are an indicator of jobs and employment. And although the amount collected in September fell short of expectations, it was still about $3 million higher than September 2015.

For the first quarter of the fiscal year, individual income taxes were $25.4 million, or 4.8 percent higher than the same period last year.

He said the shortfalls generally were the result of “a continued regional trend of low corporate tax receipts and sales tax receipts.”

But Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka blamed the shortfall on Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax policies, which he said should be a central issue in the upcoming November elections.

“Sam Brownback’s continued refusal to truthfully acknowledge and address the failures of his economic policies not only threatens the future of our state, but insults our intelligence,” Hensley said in a statement after the September report was released. “Kansas voters have the power to put an end to the ongoing Brownback budget crisis when they cast their ballots in November.”

There was no indication Monday from Brownback’s office that he intends to order any more spending cuts to keep state spending in balance before the Legislature convenes in January.

But the administration does plan to hold a news conference today that could change the discussion about state finances by shifting attention onto the revenue estimates themselves.

A task force that Brownback appointed in June is scheduled to release a report recommending ways to improve the state’s revenue estimating process.

For decades, revenue estimates for Kansas have been prepared by the Consensus Revenue Estimating Group. That includes officials from the Kansas Department of Revenue, the governor’s budget office, the Legislature’s nonpartisan research staff, and economists from the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Wichita State University.

That group meets in secret and reviews data such as employment projections, inflation rates, farm commodity prices, oil and gas prices, and other factors that could affect state revenues.

It then looks at historical patterns about how revenue flows into the state throughout the course of a year, and it issues two reports each year detailing how much money the group thinks the state can expect to collect.

The first report, issued in November, is used as the basis for the governor’s budget proposal. The second report in April is what the Legislature uses to craft its final budget.

An aide in Brownback’s office who is familiar with the task force’s report said it will include recommendations to use other sources of economic forecasts and more sophisticated economic modeling software programs commonly used in major businesses.

Baker, Haskell 2015 crime reports reflect little change

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

The number of sex crimes and other violent crimes reported at Douglas County’s two smaller post-secondary institutions, Baker and Haskell Indian Nations universities, stayed about the same from 2014 to 2015.

Both schools posted the data as required by the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and

Campus Crime Statistics Act, which says postsecondary institutions must track crime reported on their campuses and share it publicly by Oct. 1 each year.

Clery reports tally crimes reported to campus police, other law enforcement and university officials.

They include crimes reported on campus proper, public property adjacent to campus and noncampus properties such as fraternities, sororities or

buildings used for university purposes that aren’t necessarily contiguous to the campus.

At Baker’s Baldwin City campus, reported sex crimes stayed the same, with three reported in both 2014 and 2015, according to Baker’s 2016 Clery report. In 2015, two rapes were reported in campus housing and one fondling was reported at a noncampus location.

No aggravated assaults or robberies were reported either year.

Baker’s Baldwin City

campus has roughly 1,000 students.

At Haskell, reported sex crimes went down, from one in 2014 to zero in 2015, according to Haskell’s 2016 Clery report. Aggravated assaults stayed flat, with one reported each year.

No robberies were reported either year.

Roughly 800 students are enrolled at Haskell, and more than 75 percent of students there live on campus.

Clery reports also include the Violence Against Women Act

student conduct Danelle McKinney said via email.

“The process used has helped us to improve the information included in the Clery for students and their parents and we will continue improving our reporting,” she said.

The University of Kansas on Friday also released its Clery data, showing total sex crimes reported there went down from 33 in 2014 to 17 in 2015.

offenses of domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.

There were four such crimes reported at Haskell in 2015, up from two in 2014, according to Haskell’s 2016 Clery report.

There were no Violence Against Women offenses reported at Baker either year, according to Baker’s 2016 Clery report.

KU to brief legislative panel on 2018 building plans Trial rescheduled

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — University of Kansas officials are scheduled to brief a legislative panel today on major construction projects that are underway or scheduled to start in the near future, including a new Earth, Energy and Environment Center already under construction on the Lawrence campus.

The Joint Committee on State Building Construction meets today and Wednesday to review the five-year capital improvement plans for state agencies, including the six

Regents universities.

The Kansas Board of Regents approved each school’s list of projects earlier this year. The Earth, Energy and Environment Center, or EEEC, is the largest item on KU’s list, estimated at $82 million, according to information KU submitted to the Regents.

The center will consist of two buildings, Ritchie Hall and Slawson Hall, with pedestrian bridges connecting them to Lindley and Learned halls. The 130,000-square foot complex is being described as a “multi-disciplinary” facility

that will house faculty, students and researchers in geology and engineering doing energy and environmental research.

The project is being financed through a combination of private gifts, revenue bonds and university funds.

None of the projects on KU’s list that will be discussed today involve the Central District development area or the kind of “public-private partnership” funding mechanism that stirred controversy in the Legislature earlier this year.

Other items on KU’s list include renovations at

Haskell names new acting dean to replace president’s son

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

Haskell Indian Nations University has named a new acting dean of students in place of the university president’s son, who previously held the position.

Melissa Holder, a faculty member in Haskell’s American Indian studies program, will serve as the university’s acting dean of students, according to a campus announcement from

Haskell’s office of the vice-president for university services, Tonia Salvini. Holder will split her time between teaching and the administrative role, described as a 120-day detail assignment in a non-supervisory capacity.

Haskell’s chief information officer, Josh Arce, held the position of acting dean of students as a detail assignment for the past eight months, according to the announcement, dated Wednesday.

Arce is the son of Haskell

President Venida Chenault and the subject of a recent federal nepotism complaint filed by Haskell instructor Theresa Milk.

Arce was removed from the acting dean of students position as of Sept. 1, the JournalWorld reported.

Haskell is the country’s only four-year university run by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Education. The university frequently has administrative positions staffed by interims for

extended periods of time, citing federal funding shortages to fill them on a permanent basis.

Salvini’s announcement thanked Arce for his term.

“He has been persistent to improve services to and for students,” she said. “Such improvements include the recent start of the renovation of the Tecumseh gymnasium floor, increased engagement with student activities and recreation, serving on

the Career Fair planning committee and assuming responsibilities maintaining oversight to services addressing student issues and concerns.”

Holder, who has worked at Haskell 12 years, is a Haskell alumna who recently completed her doctorate in social work from the University of Kansas.

man police say they found walking along Maine Street covered in blood now faces criminal charges.

Shortly before 11:30 p.m. Friday, officers were dispatched to the 300 block of Maine Street for a report of a disturbance, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads. There they found 24-year-old Braxton Vardys, walking and bloodied.

When police tried to make contact with Vardys, he ran south, Rhoads said. Shortly afterward, he was stopped again in the same block.

As police attempted to hold Vardys, he resisted and battered an officer, Rhoads said.

Eventually he was arrested.

After investigating, officers learned Vardys had been a part of an argument earlier in the evening where there was a fight and property

Some make you feel good.

Some make you feel bad.

Rarely, a few of them make you think. There’s a new ranking out about Lawrence’s growth that might be a prime candidate for a little thought.

Here’s why: Currently, Lawrence City Hall leaders are beginning to debate about whether we need new regulations to combat urban sprawl and to promote infill development. It is a classic type of conversation for a community that is experiencing a good amount of growth. But, at least according to one new report, Lawrence is one of the slowest growing cities in America.

The report analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, among others, to evaluate both population growth and economic growth.

The report ranked Lawrence growth at No. 479 out of 515 U.S. cities.

Lawrence’s ranking was the lowest in Kansas and the broader region, although many of our neighbors also ranked middle-of-the-pack or worse.

Docking priority State officials owe it to Kansans to come up with a viable plan for deteriorating office building.

T

he Docking State Office Building is emblematic of the problems plaguing state government.

The 12-story, 500,000-square-foot building is nearly empty. State agencies have fled the building for private lease space at rates that are 20 percent lower than the state’s lease rates.

Gov. Sam Brownback and lawmakers are at odds over what to do with the building, built in the 1950s. Brownback wants to demolish Docking, arguing that it is too old and obsolete and that the cost of renovating it to modern standards would be too high. The governor tried unsuccessfully to make that happen earlier this year and now sounds perfectly content to lay the blame for the building at the feet of the Legislature.

“We put forward a plan this last year and the Legislature didn’t want to do that, so we don’t have a plan that we’ve laid out,” Brownback said last week. “We don’t have one at this point in time.”

Kansas lawmakers have opposed demolition as too costly, especially since it includes relocating the “power plant” that controls heating and air conditioning for the Statehouse and all the buildings in the Capitol Area Complex.

For the last several years, the Docking Building was occupied mainly by two of the largest state agencies: the Department of Revenue and the Department for Children and Families, formerly known as Social and Rehabilitation Services. Some lawmakers — including state Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence — believe Docking should be renovated and put back into use by the state.

Last week, the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control office left Docking for another building a few blocks away. That means the only tenants left in Docking are a small unit of the Kansas Highway Patrol, which operates security for the building, some maintenance staff that operates and maintains the power plant, and a few smaller divisions of the Department of Revenue, including the revenue secretary’s office. The Revenue Department offices are expected to leave Docking in the coming months. Every time a tenant leaves the Docking Building, it costs the state a little bit more.

Next week, the Legislature’s Joint Committee on State Buildings and Construction meets to review five-year capital improvement plans. One can only hope the Docking Building is on the agenda. The governor and the Legislature owe it to taxpayers to come up with a plan for this growing albatross.

Trump win could push Latin America left Buenos Aires — Judging from what I heard in recent interviews with several Latin American presidents, a victory by Donald Trump in the Nov. 8 election would chill U.S.-Latin American ties, moving even the most pro-American presidents in the region to distance themselves from the United States.

Few Latin American presidents, even the ones who are closest to Washington, would want to risk their domestic political capital countering the near unanimous dislike for Trump in their countries. In recent trips to Colombia, Mexico, Argentina and several other countries, I came across almost no one — including public officials, business people, academics and people on the street — who is rooting for Trump.

In an interview at Argentina’s presidential palace this week, President Mauricio Macri — a center-right former businessman who is trying to steer his country away from the populist anti-American policies of his predecessor, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner — told me that “we feel closer” to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the U.S. race.

“Given the quite isolationist rhetoric of candidate Donald Trump, we would feel more comfortable continuing to work with Hillary Clinton,” Macri told me. He added that the United States is a country of strong insti-

Days earlier, Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, who for many years was a U.S. citizen and worked in New York and Miami, told me in a separate interview that Trump’s proposals to build a wall on the border with Mexico, and to have Mexico pay for it, are both “unfortunate.”

“To propose a 2,000-mile border fence and then say that Mexico should pay for that fence is scandalous,” Kuczynski said.

When I asked him if he’s worried about the possibility of a Trump victory, Kuc-

zynki said, “Of course, it’s a matter of concern. But it’s mainly a cause of concern because of this whole idea of protectionism, of breaking free trade agreements that have been very favorable to both sides.”

He said that Trump’s claims that free trade is killing U.S. industrial jobs are “completely false.”

He added: “What is happening across the globe, not just in the United States, is the robotization of industries. That’s what’s happening.”

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos told me in a Sept. 9 interview that “I’m not going to criticize any of the two candidates. What I can tell you now is that I am a very good friend of Hillary, that she helped us a lot as secretary of state, and that I know that she would continue helping us.”

Asked about Trump, Santos said that “if he’s against free trade, I think he is mistaken.”

And on Trump’s vows to deport millions of undocumented migrants, Santos said that “we have many Colombians living in the United States, and of course, we support a much more generous policy than the one Trump is proposing.”

My opinion: Trump’s claims that most Mexican undocumented immigrants are “criminals” and “rapists” — which he still hasn’t apologized for — as well as his racist remarks against U.S.-born

Judge Gonzalo Curiel, whose parents came from Mexico, and his vows to build a wall on the U.S. southern border and scrap free trade agreements would all serve to unify Latin America against the United States if Trump were to become the next U.S. president.

Trump’s fascination with authoritarian leaders — such as those from Russia, Turkey and Egypt — and his assertions that “we need allies” regardless of their adherence to democratic values trigger alarm bells in Latin America. The region suffered from U.S.-backed military dictatorships in the 19th and early and mid-20th centuries, and Trump would break a four-decade-old bipartisan U.S. policy of support for human rights and democracy in the region.

It would not be farfetched to speculate that a Trump victory would move Latin America to the left, and perhaps even unite the region against Washington.

If even the most proAmerican Latin American presidents are rooting for Clinton, imagine the pressure they would feel within their countries if Trump became president and carried out even a small fraction of his campaign promises. The unpopular leftist regimes of Venezuela and Cuba would have a field day, and could make a political comeback.

PUBLIC FORUM

Sun Cedar Sympathy To the editor: The story in the Sept. 27 Journal-World about Sun Cedar being forced into bankruptcy made my heart hurt.

That a big corporation would force a small business out of business is so sad. Here was a very small factory far away from mass production selling items made by men who needed the work and affirmation of value. Where is the sense of humanity in the actions of the big guy? I don’t see any.

Talking about not talking about infidelities Apophasis, as students of rhetoric know, is the speechmaker’s trick of raising a nasty subject by saying you’re not going to talk about it. But it isn’t easy to pull off. It requires a light touch; once you raise the taboo subject, you can’t go back to it — a subtlety lost on Donald Trump, it seems.

At the end of his debate with Hillary Clinton, Trump said he considered mentioning Bill Clinton’s history of sexual misconduct, but decided that would be wrong. “It’s inappropriate. It’s not nice,” he said, noting that Clinton’s daughter was in the audience.

Allies praised his statesmanship. “He was a gentleman,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said.

“That took a lot of courage,” his son Eric Trump said.

His restraint didn’t last long, though. Over the next several days, Trump and his campaign continued raising the subject he didn’t mention.

“I was talking about the affairs — the many affairs that Bill Clinton had,” Trump said the next morning. (A telling slip; he meant the affairs he wasn’t talking about.)

“The American people have had it with years and decades of Clinton corruption and scandals … and impeachment for lying. Remember that, impeach,” he said at a New Hampshire rally. “The Clintons are the sordid past; we will be the very bright and clean future.”

“

As he flails, Trump is using precious campaign time to talk about the wrong subject.”

His campaign staff even issued talking points to supporters, offering helpful tips on how to talk about Clinton scandals.

“Are you blaming Hillary for Bill’s infidelities?” the tip sheet offered. “No, however she’s been an active participant in trying to destroy the women who [have] come forward with a claim.”

Actually, the evidence that Clinton was an “active participant” in attacking her husband’s accusers is scanty, beyond the fact that she stood by her husband and said she didn’t believe their charges. But that didn’t stop Trump’s surrogates.

“Look at what she has done: Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky,” Rep. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican, told MSNBC. “My goodness.”

GOP strategists have a term for dredging up Bill’s scandals: “the nuclear option.”

They’ve waited all campaign long to see whether Trump would pull the trigger. Now, despite his short-lived attempt at apophasis, he has.

The danger is obvious: The fallout could hurt him as much or more than the

intended target.

“It’s like a nuclear hand grenade,” Republican pollster David Winston told me.

“As Trump blows everything up, does he blow himself up as well — or does he only get damaged around the edges?”

“It’s totally the wrong direction to go,” Gingrich, who led the drive to impeach Bill Clinton in 1998, told the Washington Post.

“He should not let them bait him into a swamp where they can revel in the mud.”

Yet that’s where Trump went.

He also made a second, even briefer attempt at apophasis when it came to Alicia Machado, the former Miss Universe who accused him of bullying her when she gained weight.

“A lot of things are coming out about her,” he told Bill O’Reilly on Fox News on Wednesday. “I’m not going to say anything.”

And then he did, in a flurry of tweets at 5 a.m. Friday, including one that urged voters to “check out [a] sex tape” that allegedly includes Machado.

As he flails, Trump is using precious campaign time to talk about the wrong subjects: sex scandals and sex tapes rather than his promises to fix the economy. And these tangents seem unlikely to improve his standing among women voters, most of whom already consider him unpalatable. He might

actually end up giving his rival a sympathy boost.

In 1998, during the impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton’s popularity soared.

Earlier this year, a Democratic polling firm asked voters whether Hillary Clinton should be held accountable for her husband’s misconduct, and a large majority — including 56 percent of Republicans — said no.

That said, Trump’s dive into the swamp may also create problems for the Democratic candidate, who says she wants to spend the final weeks of the campaign talking about positive themes — mainly, her proposals for creating jobs and making the economy fairer. When Trump’s charges dominate the news and Clinton responds to the targets he provides, few other messages are likely to break through.

On Friday, for example, Clinton gave a long speech outlining her proposal for a national service program — but the headlines, predictably, were about her description of Trump’s “strongman approach.”

Ultimately it’s the voters, on all sides, who stand to lose the most. We need to hear about job creation and foreign policy. Instead we’re arguing about Gennifer Flowers and Miss Universe.

In a presidential campaign.

VP debate hinges on wooing women Reports on Trump’s behavior put Pence in precarious position as he seeks their vote Maureen Groppe @mgroppe USA TODAY

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence will have another opportunity Tuesday to overcome voter skepticism of Donald Trump — this time from women — during WASHINGTON

the vice presidential debate against Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine.

Trump provoked a firestorm last week by criticizing the weight gain of a former Miss Universe.

And the Associated Press reported Monday, Trump repeatedly demeaned women with sexist language while hosting The Apprentice.

As the Republican nominee for president, Trump has had difficulty attracting the support of white, college-educated women, who could play a pivotal role in the election.

His running mate, Pence, will have a nationally televised opportunity to repair the damage, a role he has played before, including after Trump’s inflammatory remarks about the Muslim family of an American soldier killed in Iraq.

But while Democratic vice presidential nominee Kaine likely owes his Senate seat to female voters, Pence has struggled to attract and keep support from women.

Pence lost women by 5 percentage points when he narrowly won his 2012 race.

And after Pence signed a controversial “religious freedom” law in 2015, a poll showed collegeeducated women rated Pence negatively by nearly 2 to 1.

While Republican Mitt Romney beat President Obama by 6 percentage points among white women with college degrees in 2012, Hillary Clinton was winning that group by 24 percentage points in a late September Washington Post-ABC News Poll of likely voters.

Under fire over claims he avoided paying federal taxes for nearly two decades, Donald Trump began a new week by arguing he is best positioned to fix “a broken tax code” because it has benefited him so much over the years.

“I’m working for you now, I’m not working for Trump,” the Republican nominee told a friendly crowd in the pivotal state of Colorado.

The Republican presidential nominee is coming off a rough patch in his presidential campaign, including news Monday that AP his foundation Donald had been ordered by the Trump New York attorney general’s office to stop raising money in the state after failing to register with the office, a requirement of charities to solicit donations in New York.

Trump seeks to bounce back from the recent spate of bad headlines by employing a familiar strategy: Attack Hillary Clinton.

His Democratic foe “hasn’t made an honest dollar her entire life,” Trump said, calling it “corruption of the highest order.”

Hackers hijacking home devices with rogue ‘botnets’ Millions might fall victim to linked attacks Elizabeth Weise @eweise USATODAY

FRANCISCO Consumers around the world could see their home Internet speeds slow in the coming weeks because of a recent release of software that allows hackers to use Internet-connected devices to attack websites.

The source code for Mirai, a tool that creates what are known as “botnets,” has been released on SAN

the so-called dark web, sites that require specific software or authorization to access and that operate as a sort of online underground for hackers. The release was announced Friday on Hackforums, a hacker discussion board. Two security experts contact by USA TODAY looked at the source code and confirmed it was this botnet tool.

Mirai is an easy-to-use program that allows even unskilled hackers to take over online devices and use them to launch distributed denial of service, or DDoS attacks. The software spreads via the Internet, taking over DVRs, cable set-top boxes, routers and even Internet-con-

nected cameras used by stores and businesses for surveillance.

Once hijacked, so much of the devices’ bandwidth goes toward doing the botnet’s work that they can run slowly or suffer intermittent failures — and it’s difficult for the consumer to know the cause.

Expect more such attacks in the future, warns Roland Dobbins, a DDoS expert with Arbor Networks: “We’re seeing more attackers becoming aware that embedded devices are an easy way to launch these attacks.”

DDoS attacks have existed since at least 1999. They involve using a network of computers to bombard a website with millions

of messages, so many that the system cannot cope and shuts down.

Mirai focuses on compromising devices that are connected to the Internet but which most consumers don’t think of as computers — the Internet of Things.

Mirai was used to knock computer security writer Brian Krebs offline on Sept. 13. At one point, Krebs’ site, Krebsonsecurity.com, was receiving 665 gigabits of traffic per second, one of the largest such attacks recorded. That’s something like streaming 65 3-D movies per second.

Krebs says he believes the attack was in retaliation for his recent articles on two hacking suspects.

“If you’re running an IP surveillance camera or a DVR system and you’re using it with factory default credentials, there’s a better than decent chance it’s already compromised,” Krebs says.

white college-educated women could be Trump’s Achilles’ heel.

“This year’s election could be historic by making white collegeeducated women a lynchpin of a decisive Democratic win — an unintended consequence of Trump’s full-throated old-style male bravado, as a contrast to Clinton’s more inclusive messages,” Frey wrote.

Pence drew national attention this year after backing what he called a “trailblazing” anti-abortion bill. The law, which a federal judge has put on hold, made Indiana only the second state to prohibit a woman from seeking an abortion if her fetus is diagnosed with a disability, such as Down

syndrome. It also prohibits abortions based on the gender or race of a fetus and would require the remains of miscarried or aborted fetuses to be interred.

“Panties 4 Pence: Get out of mine,” read a sign at a statehouse rally against the new law in April.

A Facebook group prompted women to protest the law by calling the governor’s office to give status updates on menstrual cycles in an effort called “Periods for Pence.”

Pence’s gubernatorial aides have pointed to his efforts to reduce Indiana’s infant mortality rate and reinstate the state’s adoption subsidy as examples of his support for issues important to women. He also supported a new law that will replace all pro-

nouns in Indiana code to make them gender neutral and supported creating the Commission on Improving the Status of Children.

But on the presidential campaign trail, Pence has touted his long history of trying to defund Planned Parenthood at both the state and national level.

“Mike was the leader before many in Congress had an idea that Planned Parenthood was basically the abortion mafia,” Penny Nance, president of Concerned Women for America, said last month when she introduced Pence before his speech at the Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit.

cated they will continue to be aggressive headed into a second debate Sunday in St. Louis.

In his “question of the day” for Clinton, Trump aide Jason Miller said: “Almost all of your income has come from paid speeches and trading access. Do you think you have the business knowledge to be able to fight for our nation’s job creators and workers?”

Trump criticized Clinton over military policy during a speech to a retired veterans group in Virginia. The former secretary of State and the Obama administration have done little to bolster the nation’s cyber defenses, Trump told Retired American Warriors, a new political action committee.

The New York Times reported over the weekend that the real estate mogul declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income — a deduction so large it would have allowed him to legally avoid paying federal income taxes for 18 years.

Clinton said Monday in Toledo, Ohio, that Trump was in a “category by himself” when it came to “egregious corporate behavior.”

Trump didn’t help his employees “while he was busy with his accountants to try and find out how he could keep living as a billionaire,” Clinton said.

“Trump was taking from America with both hands and leaving the rest of us with the bill,” the Democratic nominee said.

At his Colorado rally, Trump said he “brilliantly used” tax laws to benefit himself, his family and shareholders. “Fixing our broken tax code is one of the main reasons” he is running for president, Trump said. “I understand it. I get it.”

bate is helping,” she said. “People just aren’t spending money.”

In Union County, it’s not hard to find people like Kretz who are weary of the Obama years. She plans to vote for Republican nominee Donald Trump in November because she said he’s better suited to address the needs of the average American than Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Though not as scrutinized as the suburban and urban voting blocs, the rural vote is a key slice of the Republican base. It has been reliably conservative in recent presidential elections.

This bloc will be crucial if Trump seeks to stack up electoral votes in swing states such as Iowa, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Wisconsin — states where rural dwellers make up a sizable chunk of the electorate (more than 30%). “ If we think about presidential elections and the long-term pattern of where the GOP has been successful, they’ve been able to marry the Northern rural vote with the Southern rural vote,” said Seth McKee, an associate professor of political science at Texas Tech University who studies rural voting patterns.

People here see a link between their pocketbooks and the nation’s political leadership. In a community few describe as flourishing, many long for a change in Washington. A big one.

“I think we are ready for change, and I think we need it,” said Sharon Hower, a retiree of Creston’s Bunn-O-Matic plant. “I don’t agree with everything Mr. Trump says, but I think he deserves a chance.”

Hower, a registered Republican, met on a recent day with other retired women in a downtown coffee shop. Talk turned to how the town, like many others, has seen better days. Hower cited problems in the schools, declining population and closing stores.

“In general, we just are not what we used to be,” she said. “It’s all trickle-down. It’s affected everybody.” She doesn’t know whether Trump can fix things, but she said Clinton can’t. She said she was “disgusted” with the former secretary of State. Anything Trump could do “would be an improvement,” she said.

Clinton has promised to build on the achievements of the Obama era, offering policy recommendations to improve health care, the economy and taxes.

Trump paints a darker picture of a limping nation in need of more radical change. That’s a message that seems tailor-made for rural America.

In small towns throughout the heartland, people reminisce about better days. Days when downtown storefronts were occupied and humming.

Facing dwindling dollars and students, community schools close and consolidate. Good-paying manufacturing jobs have vanished amid a wave of globalization and automation.

Rural America has accumulated decades of population loss as the young flee to metropolitan areas. In 1950, 36% of Americans lived in rural areas, according to Census figures; by 2000, 21% of people lived in rural areas.

It’s perhaps most serious in communities dependent on agriculture. Iowa is the nation’s leading producer of corn, soybeans and pork. In the Corn Belt, merchants, implement dealers and restaurateurs suffer with farmers when the ag economy slumps.

American farmers are set to harvest their largest crops of soybeans and corn this year, yet stubbornly low prices mean many of the nation’s 3.2 million farmers

“I think we are ready for change, and I think we need it,” said Sharon Hower of Creston, Iowa. “I don’t agree with everything Mr. Trump says, but I think he deserves a chance.”

“I see people and talk to people that aren’t willing to vote because they don’t like the candidates,” says Union County Republican Party Central Committee Chairman Joe Owens. will yield narrow profits, if any.

Farm-dependent communities have suffered decades of decline as efficiencies have made farms larger and farmers less numerous. Since 1900, the number of U.S farms has fallen by 63%, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported, while the average farm size has grown by 67%.

Those who remain tend to larger farms and are thus wealthier on average than in previous decades, said Wayne Steger, a political science professor at Chicago’s DePaul University who researches the American presidency. “But their communities have gone down and lost population. They all know friends and neighbors who have gone under,” he said. “So that weighs on their perception of reality as to where things are.”

Steger, a native of rural Iowa, said rural voters are less likely to vote based on their own finances.

Much more influential is their perception of how their community is faring. He expects the change-oriented Republican platform to play well across rural areas in November. “These communities are nowhere near as vibrant as they were 50 years ago.

And they’re older,” he said. “That message is absolutely is going to resonate. And Donald Trump a little more so because he is antiestablishment.”

McKee said Trump’s economic talk of making America great will endear him to rural voters.

An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll in August found Trump outperforming Clinton in Iowa’s rural western counties (51% of those polled favored Trump, compared with 31% for Clinton).

Likewise, Clinton supporters outnumbered Trump in the Des Moines area and the state’s eastern cities.

In that national poll, 55% of rural voters supported Trump, compared with 27% for Clinton.

SOURCE USA TODAY research ISABELLA LUCY, USA TODAY

To report this series, the USA TODAY Network identified eight counties around the country that represent key voting groups in the election in November, from bluecollar and college-educated voters to rural voters and Latinos. Journalists spent time with voters, political observers and experts in these counties — blue, red and purple — talking about the candidates, the issues and the importance of this year’s election. In the coming weeks, look for our coverage of the following counties: Larimer County, Colo.; Clark County, Ohio; and Hillsborough County, Fla.

County, said rural voters are drawn to Trump’s anti-establishment bent. “I think the mentality and psyche of a rural Iowan is definitely different than that of an urban Chicagoan or a New Yorker,” he said. “And I think our values are different than those values.”

Jeff Mostek, owner of Creston Farm and Home Supply, can list all the ways government regulations hurt his customers, and therefore his business.

He can no longer sell rat baits in large quantities. A milk replacer for calves will require a veterinarian’s prescription. An EPA mandate in 2009 required all gas cans to be spring-loaded — which Mostek said doubled the price.

Mostek, a registered Republican, leans toward Trump but is unsure about many of his policies. He said Trump is more likely to provide regulatory relief than Clinton. “We’re tired of the same people running the show the way it is. Nothing seems to improve,” he said.

Wayne Hanson, 53, said he’ll vote for Trump, but as a self-described “die-hard” conservative, he’s having a hard time with the nominee. “For me to jump on that bandwagon and be gung ho about it, I struggle with that,” he said. “My business has thrived more under conservative values.

And I just don’t understand his values yet.”

Hanson owns RE Lewis Refrigeration, a Creston-based business that helps build food processing plants across the country. He said Democratic leadership has pushed his taxes higher, and he blamed Obamacare for creating “an absolute wreck” of the health care system. He likes Trump’s business background, and he said the billionaire has a better understanding of small-business issues.

“Around here in the Midwest, small business is all we have,” he said.

It’s not an easy time to run a business in a place such as Union County, said Edward Thompson, 80. “It’s like all the small towns.

It’s dying,” he said. “It’s hard to say that.”

He runs a combination furniture store and bicycle repair shop in downtown Creston. Thompson, an independent, finds Trump’s brazenness refreshing.

“He doesn’t mess around,” he said. “If he doesn’t like what you’re saying, he’ll tell you so.

And I think that’s what we need — someone who will stand up to people and talk back.”

Yet he doesn’t have high hopes for meaningful change. “It doesn’t make any difference who’s in there,” he said. “They make a lot of promises that they can’t keep.”

For Joe Owens, chairman of the county Republican Party, “it’s getting very discouraging. … I see people and talk to people that aren’t willing to vote because they don’t like the candidates.”

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

With election polls in the news a lot these days, it made sense to share the results of a financial poll that suggests the so-called smart money is cautious on the stock market, thinks Hillary Clinton is likely to capture the White House and the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates in December for the first time this year.

Those nuggets come courtesy of Strategas Research Partners, who released the findings of a poll last week of roughly 700 of its clients.

The main takeaway, according to the poll results, is that “investors seem hesitant to make a direction call, with more than half (53%) of respondents describing themselves as “neutral on stocks,”

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

according to Chris Verrone of Strategas, who summed up the findings in a research note. Only 30% said they were “bullish,” or upbeat on stocks and 17% said they were bearish, or see stock declines ahead.

Other key findings: Two out of three (66%) respondents said the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index will post lower gains than the average 4% advance normally seen in the final quarter of a year.

Nearly seven out of 10 (69%) said Clinton will win the presidential election, vs. just 31% giving Donald Trump the nod.

Nearly all (85%) said the Fed will hike rates at its December meeting.

And when it comes to the U.S. economy, 23% said a recession will occur next year, 46% said a downturn won’t hit until 2018 and 31% said recession won’t come until 2019 or beyond.

Bass Pro Shops reels in Cabela’s for $4.5B Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Bass Pro Shops has reached a deal to acquire outdoors retail competitor Cabela’s and take the company private in a deal valued at $4.5 billion, the companies said Monday.

The deal unites two outdoor supply superstores. It was not immediately clear whether the acquisition would result in any store closures, but the companies said in a statement that Spring-

field, Mo.-based Bass Pro Shops would “celebrate and grow” the Cabela’s brand.

The deal comes about 10 months after Sidney, Neb.-based Cabela’s effectively put itself up for sale at the urging of hedge fund Elliott Management, which had declared the hunting-andfishing retailer undervalued and called for the company to consider a sale or reorganization.

Privately held Bass Pro Shops will pay $65.50 per share in cash for Cabela’s, representing a premium of 19.2% over Friday’s closing price. Cabela’s had 68,909,403

NATI HARNIK, AP

shares outstanding as of its disclosure in a corporate filing.

Cabela’s shares rose 15% Monday, closing at $63.18.

Long known for large-format destination stores, Cabela’s has

lost ground to smaller, nimbler competitors and online retailers.

Sales at stores open at least a year fell 1.3% in the first half of 2016, compared to a year earlier, according to a securities filing.

The number of purchases at Cabela’s stores fell 8.1% during that period, reflecting a drop-off in foot traffic as customers bought less clothing and footwear, although hunting sales increased and average revenue per transaction rose 8.2%.

The deal marks a dramatic expansion of the outdoor retailing empire controlled by Bass Pro

Shops CEO Johnny Morris, who founded the company in 1972.

The billionaire will lead the newly combined entity as CEO and will retain majority ownership.

Bass Pro Shops has about 99 stores and 20,000 employees. Cabela’s has about 85 stores and had about 19,700 employees at the end of 2015, according to a securities filing.

Representatives for Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops did not respond to requests seeking comment. The companies said they expect the deal to be approved in early 2017.

The charmed life of Kim Kardashian took a frightening turn late Sunday when she was tied up, threatened with a gun and robbed of estimated millions in jewelry by armed and masked assailants in Paris, where she was attending Paris Fashion Week.

The news rocketed around the world Monday, sending Twitter into a horrified swoon and her husband, Kanye West, rushing from a stage in the middle of a concert in New York to deal with a “family emergency.”

Here’s what we know about what happened and what may unfold in the next few days:

GOOD DAY ‘BATFLECK’ FANS Ben Affleck’s stand-alone Batman film finally has a title: ‘The Batman.’ The actor shared the tentative title in an interview Monday with the Associated Press. While he remained tight-lipped about other details, Affleck did offer that “the script is going well.”

Police said the thieves entered the 19th-century luxury residence after the concierge let them in around 2:30 a.m. local time. Handcuffed and at gunpoint, the concierge led them to Kardashian’s apartment.

WHERE WAS HER SECURITY?

Kardashian is often surrounded by bodyguards, but no security was present at the apartment, according to People and The Daily Mail.

Her bodyguard, Pascal Duvier, helped protect Kardashian last week when a serial celebrity accoster, known as the “Ukrainian prankster,” tried to assault her as she was entering a restaurant.

She wasn’t hurt.

Only hours before the robbery, Kardashian posted a picture of him on Instagram, joking, “This guy is always in my shot.”

Her security was increased after she was attacked outside a Paris Fashion Week show in 2014.

She wasn’t hurt.

WHAT’S THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM KARDASHIAN?

A source familiar with the situation but unauthorized to speak publicly said in a statement that two armed men, dressed as police officers and wearing masks, entered her room and held her up.

The incident left the reality TV star “badly shaken but physically unharmed,” according to the statement.

WHERE IS KARDASHIAN NOW?

She left Paris Monday morning a few hours after the incident and flew to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. From there she traveled in a motorcade to her apartment building in downtown Manhattan, where there was a heavy security presence, according to the Associated Press.

Daughter North, 3, and son Saint, 10 months, were not with Kardashian at the time, according to People and The Telegraph.

WHAT DO THE FRENCH POLICE SAY?

The assailants are still at large.

They stole a jewelry box containing valuables worth nearly $7 million as well as a ring worth $4.5 million.

WHO WILL HEAD THE INVESTIGATION?

It will be led by the French police’s Brigade de Répression du Banditisme (BRB).

Emmanuelle LaChaussee, a spokeswoman for the French Embassy in Washington, described the investigators as a “high-level” police unit of armed robbery specialists. She said it’s too early to say how the investigation will proceed.

WAS SHE TARGETED BY THE ‘PINK PANTHERS’ GANG?

The BRB is involved in investigating the “Pink Panthers” gang of jewel thieves, considered the larg-

Kris Jenner, Kardashian’s mother, and a security team leave her daughter’s New York residence Monday. est, most successful gang of jewel thieves in the world, according to a 2014 report on CBS’ 60 Minutes, which said the gang was responsible for more than 370 heists worth $500 million.

Elements of the Kardashian robbery are similar to the M.O. of the Pink Panthers, who got their nickname from the British tabloids after a 2003 London robbery when a thief hid a diamond in a pot of beauty cream — as in the plot of one of the Pink Panther movies from the 1970s, about a doltish French detective played

by Peter Sellers.

The gang is a network of loose-

ly organized teams of robbers throughout Europe and made up mostly of former soldiers of Yugoslavia who fought in the Bosnian wars of the 1990s, the 60 Minutes report said. The gang is known for its speed, minimal violence and careful planning, casing targets carefully and gaining entry through a ruse (such as dressing as police officers).

HOW MIGHT THIEVES HAVE KNOWN KARDASHIAN WAS THERE ALONE AND WITH JEWELRY?

Kardashian often advertises where she is and shows off her

WHAT PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT COULD THE EXPERIENCE HAVE ON KARDASHIAN?

Kardashian, understandably, would have been terrified having a gun pointed at her.

In coming weeks, she could experience a certain amount of post-traumatic stress, says Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University and co-author of The Narcissism Epidemic, which looks at the rise of the personality trait in the past few decades, in part because of celebrities and the influence of social media.

“After an incident like this, many people begin to re-evaluate their priorities,” Twenge says. “If she reacts the way most people would, she might focus more on what we call intrinsic values — family, friends and community — rather than extrinsic values such as money, fame and image.”

Episodes of depression also could follow such a terrifying experience, she says.

“We know from tons of research that therapy works, that people who get therapy get better faster and it’s more long-lasting,” she says. “Experiences like this are obviously traumatic for anyone, but it’s the type of experience where therapy would have a good effect. … It would be fantastic if one of the lessons here was that when you experience a traumatic event, therapy can be helpful.”

Dear Annie

Annie Lane

dearannie@creators.com

can survive and thrive?

— Night and Day Dear Night: Why the rush into dating? I suggest you put that on hold until your divorce is finalized. You are used to being in a relationship and may compulsively be seeking a woman to fill that role. Don’t be in such a rush to partner up that you settle for someone and find yourself wanting to excuse away major issues.

Dear Annie: I’m a 14-year-old boy from

VP debate with Elaine Quijano Candidates Tim Kaine (D) and Mike Pence (R) engage in a vice presidential debate (8 p.m., CBS, NBC, Fox, ABC, PBS, Bloomberg, CNN, CSPAN, Fox News). Elaine Quijano moderates.

Tonight, the CW launches “No Tomorrow” (8 p.m.). It’s an old-fashioned screwball comedy set against a possible apocalypse. It’s also an adaptation of a Brazilian comedy, “How to Enjoy the End of the World.”

Some of its forced effer vesc e n c e may have worked better in the original Portuguese.

Evie (Tori Anderson) is shy and awkward and impossibly beautiful. She’s an underappreciated assistant manager at some grim warehouse bigbox store. Her life changes when she meets Xavier (Joshua Sasse), a spontaneous guy with an Australian accent. In old-fashioned comedy convention, they “meet cute” at a farmers’ market when they make halting small talk about a rutabaga.

While Evie’s life is fleshed out with a family eager for her to settle down and procreate, quirky co-workers and a nerdy would-be fiance, Xavier has all of the depth of a guy in a beer commercial. He lives for today, checks off “experiences” on a bucket list and believes that he, and he alone, has discovered an asteroid a mere eight months away from destroying the planet.

To describe “Tomorrow” as far-fetched and over the top is a tad obvious. Much of the banter between Evie and her co-workers is forced at best and laced with sporadic doses of jarring vulgarity that seem completely out of character.

But the real problem is that Xavier just isn’t that interesting. Evie may find him hot, but he’s a bit of cipher to the rest of us.

“The Mindy Project” enters a fifth season, streaming exclusively on Hulu.

Tonight’s other highlights

A recap of the best of the blind auditions on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC).

Barry’s life seems too perfect on the third season premiere of “The Flash” (7 p.m., CW).

“The Contenders: 16 for 16” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) recalls the campaigns of Gary Hart and Jesse Jackson.

The 2016 Hip-Hop Awards (7 p.m., BET, MTV, MTV2) airs on multiple platforms.

On the road again, in search of capital on “Halt and Catch Fire” (9 p.m., AMC).

New Jersey. I just started high school and am involved in clubs and on the junior varsity football team. I’m not a straight-A student, but I make pretty good grades, mostly B’s and some A’s.

I have an elder brother, who is 17, and a little brother, who is 4. My elder brother has had all sorts of problems since he was about 12 or 13. He has anger issues and shows our parents no respect, even cursing them out sometimes. He has slacked off in school and done things like faking signatures on failing tests he was supposed to take home to show our mom.

Last year, they sent him to a program on a ranch for three months.

It was kind of like a camp for troubled teens. He was responsible for taking care

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Oct. 4: This year you make waves wherever you go. If you are single, others might discover that there is a wild child within you. If you are attached, the two of you often have serious discussions.

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 afford to be spontaneous without being particularly concerned about the results.

Tonight: Get some exercise.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You have a strong sense of direction, but so does someone you often have to work with. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your playfulness will be best expressed through your ability to deal with an overly serious and demanding associate.

Tonight: Catch up on news.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Deal on a one-onone level with someone you enjoy hanging out with. Tonight: Be ready to let go of worries.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You often view others as being stubborn and determined.

Loosen up, and you will like the result. Tonight. Head home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You know how to communicate your intentions. You

of animals there, and it seemed to help him a lot. But less than a month after he got back, he started going back to his old bad ways again.

My parents are always so busy dealing with my brother’s issues that I feel as if they barely even notice me. I sometimes feel as if I’m being punished for being the good kid. What can I do to make them take more notice of me?

— Middle Child Dear Middle: It’s not easy being golden. Tell them how you feel. It might not exactly be fair that you have to remind them you need attention, too, but it’s fortunate for your family to have someone as mature and patient as you on the team.

— Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

jacquelinebigar.com

also might be seeking information in return. Tonight: Cut a discussion short.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Slow down your spending. You easily could go overboard when buying a new item. Tonight: Happiest at home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might have too much energy, and as a result, you could be pushing others too hard.

Don’t assume that everyone thinks like you do. Tonight: All smiles.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pull back, and allow someone who has similar leadership skills to yours to take the lead. Can you share the stage?

Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your determination could become an incorrigible demand.

You might not want to back off.

Tonight: Hang out with a loved one.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You see life from a very different perspective than others. You can walk your own path with no support. Tonight: Wherever you are, you make an impact.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You pull back and think through a problem first. Understand the dynamics involved, and you will make the right decision.

Tonight: Follow the music.

Dear Annie: I am a soon-to-be divorced man who has suffered a great deal of pain after the collapse of my lengthy marriage.

I found what in many ways is the perfect woman. As we have gotten to know each other, however, we have found huge ideological gulfs between us.

My significant other does not vote. She does not believe in vaccination. Her disapproval of the gay lifestyle extends to having animosity toward gay individuals. She believes they flaunt a deviance that they have chosen. She believes in conspiracy theories, putting stock in the theory that the Pentagon was damaged by a missile in 2001.

Breast cancer myths and misconceptions

By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

I

n honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we asked Lawrence Memorial Hospital oncologist Jodie Barr to weigh in on a few of the most commonly held myths and misconceptions surrounding the disease.

When should I get my first mammogram?

“There’s been a lot of debate” in recent years over screening guidelines, Barr says. The U.S. Preventative Task Force received quite a bit of flak in 2009 when it issued a recommendation that women start screening for breast cancer at age 50. It’s undergone a slight revamp since, Barr explains, but the USPTF maintains its original recommendation that mammogram screenings are most beneficial for women 50 to 74 and should be scheduled every two years.

That doesn’t mean younger women aren’t at risk for developing the disease, Barr cautions. While she suggests limiting exposure to mammograms in women under 40, Barr also says it’s important to take family history into account. She encourages those with a higher risk of the disease (and any patient, really) to discuss the issue with a physician before deciding what makes sense.

Flu season right around the corner

of women, especially with their menstrual period, will have change in their breasts” over time, she explains. Aside from feeling tender, swollen or painful when touched, breasts can also develop masses due to the extra fluid retained during periods.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and other normal hormonal changes can also alter breast texture. Still, Barr says, “If you feel a lump, you’ve got to get it checked out.”

Do bras cause breast cancer? ... and other myths There are multiple theories around the internet about the dangers of underwire bras and antiperspirants, both of which have been rumored to create toxic buildup in the breasts, leading to cancer. There is no scientific data to support either of these claims, Barr says.

Second annual ‘Rock the Block’ to benefit cancer programs at LMH

By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

The Lawrence Memorial Hospital Endowment Association is inviting community members to “Rock the Block” this Friday during its second annual fundraiser of the same name, featuring live music, food and drinks in a block-party atmosphere.

Slated for 6 to 10 p.m. in the outdoor area between

Briggs Auto and Jack Ellena Honda near 29th and Iowa streets, the event — its tagline is “Kick Cancer” — replaced LMH’s longtime October fundraiser, Step Out For Breast Cancer, last fall.

“After 24 years of a successful event that targeted women and breast cancer specifically, we recognized the need for inclusion of all cancers because, unfortunately, there

are many kinds of cancer,” said Tiffany Hall, annual giving manager for the Endowment Association.

The popular fundraiser, which had raised more than $704,000 since its beginnings in 1993, focused exclusively on breast cancer. Rock the Block widens that scope to include all forms of cancer — as well as its many survivors living and thriving in and around Lawrence.

Most of us, Hall said, are affected in some way or another by the disease, whether we’ve been diagnosed personally or have supported a friend, family member, colleague or neighbor through his or her own battle.

Rock the Block aims to celebrate — and give back to — all cancer survivors, with proceeds benefiting LMH cancer programs. > BLOCK, 2C

he signs reminding us to get our flu vaccine are everywhere. Influenza season is just around the corner, and these seasonal reminders from pharmacies, grocery stores and even health care providers will hopefully spur many of us to get our annual flu vaccination.

The flu vaccine can reduce the incidence of flu illnesses, doctor visits, and work and school absences, as well as prevent hospitalizations due to flu complications. The Centers for Disease Control recommends that everyone 6 months and older receive the flu vaccine. Rare exceptions may include those with severe egg allergies or who have had Guillain-Barre Syndrome. If you fall into one of these categories, talk with your doctor about whether you should be vaccinated.

Between now and the end of October is an ideal time to get the flu vaccine. It usually takes about two weeks for the flu shot to fully take effect. In addition, no flu vaccine is perfect, but may prevent up to 50 to 60 percent of influenza cases. If someone does get the flu after receiving the flu vaccine, generally his or her illness will be less serious.

The actual effectiveness of the vaccine depends on the age and health of the person being vaccinated, as well as the match between the viruses in the flu vaccine and the particular influenza viruses spreading that year.

Influenza vaccine is designed to protect against the three or four most common influenza viruses that research indicates are most likely to affect people during the upcoming flu season. Flu viruses are constantly changing, so the actual vaccine composition may be changed each year based on which influenza viruses are making people sick, how they are spreading and how well the previous season’s vaccine provided protection.

Between 5 to 20 percent of the adult population will get the flu each year. Many people think of influenza as a mild illness, but in the United States several thousand people die each year from complications

Willis to start for KU vs. TCU

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

New foundation

Schneider building home with Jayhawks

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

The Kansas football team has a new starting quarterback.

KU coach David Beaty announced Monday night on his weekly “Hawk Talk” radio show that sophomore Ryan Willis will start this week, when the Jayhawks play host to TCU at Memorial Stadium (11 a.m. kickoff, ESPNU).

In KU’s first three games of the season, fourthyear junior Montell Cozart started at QB, and Willis played in relief.

However, Willis coming off a 55-19 loss in which Cozart struggled (9for-20, 97 yards, a TD and an interception) at Texas Tech, Beaty has decided to move on from starting the veteran, in favor of Willis, who started eight games in 2015, as a true freshman.

“You know, we’re gonna make some personnel changes,” Beaty said casually. “Number one: we’re going to start Ryan Willis at the quarterback this week.”

Through four games this season, Willis has completed 31 of 53 passes (58.5 percent) for 374 yards, three touchdowns and an interception as an often-utilized backup.

Cozart, as a starter sharing time in KU’s quarterback rotation, has completed 57 of his 91 throws (62.6 percent) for 581 yards and six touchdowns, with four interceptions. “(Willis) has shown some real progress for us,

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL COACH BRANDON SCHNEIDER addresses the crowd during Late Night in the Phog on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

ansas coach Brandon Schneider had his work cut out for him last year when he took over one of the youngest rosters in all of women’s basketball.

But what made things even more difficult during the team’s 6-25 season were Schneider’s living arrangements.

“I didn’t have a house,” Schneider said at Media Day on Monday. “I lived in an apartment all last year while our house was being built. So the team is not coming over and you are not doing all those activities that are really important to me.”

However, this time around that won’t be an issue. Not long after KU was eliminated

by Texas in the Big 12 Tournament, Schneider’s house was finished.

And with it, a new foundation was born.

“The house is amazing,” senior forward Jada Brown said. “He was talking it up all last year and he didn’t overexaggerate it at all.

His wife actually opens up the door for us whenever he’s not there. He’s told us he will leave the back gate open and let us go swimming when he’s not there.

Definitely grateful to have him.”

With the help of team activities at the Schneider residence and playing four games in Europe in August, the team chemistry has blossomed. Schneider noted at Media Day that the chemistry between the players is

“

Going over to coach’s house is one of my favorite things.

It’s just like a family atmosphere.”

much better than it was at this point last year.

So much so that it almost feels like a completely different team despite many of the same faces. A squad that featured several young players last year, including six freshman and four sophomores, now represents a family.

And like every family, the Jayhawks needed a home.

“Going over to coach’s house is one of my favorite things,” said junior transfer Jessica Washington. “It’s just like a family atmosphere. We all get along. He’s got a pool out in the backyard (and a) basketball court. We have such a great time.”

The backyard basketball court is perhaps where the camaraderie has most formed.

That’s where Schneider’s sons — Cash and Cole — will often challenge the KU squad to a dunk contest. With the goals lowered, the boys usually get the best of the women’s team.

“I’ve been dunked on by Cash or Cole a couple times,” senior forward Caelynn Manning-Allen said. “They definitely team up on you when you least expect it. Cash will

LHS golfers post season-best scores

FREE STATE’S TORI HOOPINGARNER watches her drive from the 14th tee on Monday at Lawrence Country Club.

Lawrence High sophomore golfer Beatrice Lopez overcame a difficult course on Monday at Lawrence Country Club, carding her personal best score and the team’s lowest score of the season.

“For the first time ever our top golfer broke 100 today,” LHS coach Jennifer Schmitt said. It was the first score under 100 by an LHS golfer since 2013. “Making great gains from last week’s score at a much more difficult course.”

Lopez’s mark of 99 at the Free State Invitational was good enough to tie for 30th

and ended up being eight strokes better than her score last week at Eagle Bend Golf Course for the Lawrence Invitational. Lopez shot a 121 in her first event of the season.

For her third varsity tournament of the year, Lopez had to deal with a tougher course. She overcame more narrow fairways and faster greens by consistently getting strong drives throughout the 18 holes.

“My drives were really good today,” Lopez said.

They definitely do double team us a lot.”

But the team does so much more than just dunk contests and dips in the pool.

They will watch movies as a team in the home movie theater.

They will play with the two family dogs and take advantage of several home-cooked meals by Schneider’s wife, Ali. It is even open for players to do some laundry.

“He’s just really, really open about having an open door policy so we can all feel at home,” Washington said

Tyler Johnson out indefinitely On Monday, Schneider announced sophomore forward Tyler Johnson will be out indefinitely because of a knee injury that required surgery.

As a freshman, she started in seven contests, including the final four games. Over that fourgame stretch, Johnson averaged 9.6 points with 3.2 rebounds.

“We will see how long she is out,” Schneider said. “She’s a player that’s got a chance to have a really good career here. Those are the things that happen.”

Kansas will return to the hardwood for an exhibition match with Fort Hays State on Oct. 30.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Newman shows off shooting touch

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Although he won’t be able to play an actual game until the start of the 2017-18 season, Mississippi State transfer Malik Newman got the most out of his first appearance at Allen Fieldhouse last Saturday night.

Starting for the Crimson squad, which included Devonté Graham, Carlton Bragg Jr., Josh Jackson, Dwight Coleby, Evan Maxwell and Tyler Self, Newman finished with 12 points and three assists in 18 minutes of the scrimmage that capped this year’s Late Night in the Phog.

Heading into Late Night, Newman said he was equal parts excited and nervous.

“I don’t think I’ve ever played in front of 16,000

people,” he told reporters last week.

But once he hit the floor, the nerves were hardly noticeable.

Newman looked smooth in transition, knocked down a couple of outside jumpers and finished with ease at the rim.

All were skills Newman showed as a true freshman at Mississippi State, where he made 21 starts in 29 games and averaged 11.3 points per game a season ago. But none, according to KU coach Bill Self, would come as easily for Newman in the future as they did on Saturday night.

“I hate to say that,” Self said. “You’re not gonna get open shots like that.

He can shoot the ball though.”

For reference, Newman made 61 of 161 three-point attempts (.379) in 803

“

I don’t think I’ve ever played in front of 16,000 people.”

— Kansas’ Malik Newman minutes for the Bulldogs last season. KU’s leading three-point shooter last season (Graham) made 75 of 170 three-pointers in 1,238 minutes.

Although Newman’s ability to knock down the outside shot won’t help the Jayhawks on the scoreboard for another year, Self said Newman’s presence on the roster and deep range will help KU during practice as soon as this season.

Asked which player on this year’s roster Newman’s presence would impact the most, Self offered an obvious but potentially overlooked answer.

“If anybody gets help

the most, it’ll be him,” Self said. “Having to go against Frank and Devonté and Josh or whatever ... His ball-handling skills will get better, but he can certainly shoot the basketball.”

Brown eyes November signing Five-star Las Vegas prospect Troy Brown, the No. 12-ranked player in the Class of 2017 according to Rivals.com, is planning to end his recruitment in November.

Brown, who was in town for an official visit for last weekend’s Late Night, told Shay Wildeboor of​ JayhawkSlant.com ​that he would take his final

visit this weekend to Georgetown and then get busy deciding on his future.

“In November, I will sign for sure,” Brown said. “I don’t know how much more of the recruiting process I can handle.

I would say, since being recruited since the eighth grade, it’s just really worn on me. I wish I would have cut (my list) to less schools, honestly, because it just kind of made it more hectic.”

That said, Brown told Wildeboor that he loved every second of his KU visit and added that, now that he’s a senior, things seemed much more real.

“With it being an official visit, we kind of understand why I’m here,” he said. “I know all of the players and I hung out with everybody ... I had a really good time with them.”

Riley raves Power forward Cody Riley, another Class of 2017 prospect in for an official visit at Late Night, was blown away by his trip to Lawrence.

“My visit to Kansas was just unbelievable,” the four-star prospect told JayhawkSlant.com.

“The atmosphere at Late Night in the Phog was the best that I’ve ever seen and I know that it’s the best atmosphere in college basketball. The fans make that place so special and they really support and care about the players.

I really didn’t expect to see what I saw at Late Night.”

Riley, 6-7, 225 pounds, is ranked No. 34 overall in the 2017 class by Rivals.com and, thus far, only has visits planned to Kansas and UCLA.

Beaty on offensive woes: ‘We’ve gotta finish drives’

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

It’s obvious to University of Kansas head football coach David Beaty, and anyone keeping tabs on the team four games into the season, the Jayhawks’ lack of offensive production has cost them dearly in three consecutive losses.

KU enters the week ranked last in the Big 12 in scoring (25.5 points a game), rushing offense (91 yards a game) first downs (17 a game), third-down conversions (32.1 percent), time of possession (25:33) and turnover margin (-1.75 a game) — and

be able to play against TCU (11 a.m, ESPNU).

“But we’ll know a lot more definitively tomorrow,” the coach added, “so I’ll be able to give you an update then.”

that’s with the support of numbers put up in a 55-6 romp against outmanned FCS foe Rhode Island in the season opener.

The Jayhawks (1-3 overall, 0-1 Big 12) rank ninth in total offense (353 yards a game), eighth in red zone offense (81.8 scoring percentage on 11 trips) and seventh in passing offense (262 yards a game) as they prepare to face TCU (3-2, 1-1) Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

“We’ve gotta finish drives,” Beaty responded during Monday’s Big 12 coaches media teleconference when asked about his thoughts on the

offense coming off Thursday’s 55-19 loss at Texas Tech. “I mean, as we get inside that 50 and we get opportunities. We’ve gotta be sure we put points on the board with those drives, and when we do it, we need to finish with touchdowns.”

Simply reaching Red Raiders territory proved difficult this past week, though, for the KU offense during its Big 12 opener. On 17 total drives, the Jayhawks’ average start came on their own 30-yard-line and possessions often lulled to a standstill, with seven three-and-outs

during the road loss.

On 12 occasions, a KU series began and ended on the visitors’ side of the 50-yard-line. On one possession that crossed the midway mark of the field, Kansas only went as far as Texas Tech’s 49.

Twice, both instances coming in the third quarter, the Jayhawks operated under the benefit of starting a drive in Red Raiders territory. The results: a seven-play, 39yard drive for a TD, and a nine-play, 20-yard series ending in a successful Matt Wyman field goal.

Later, in the fourth quarter, Kansas advanced

Injury updates Beaty didn’t have specifics as of Monday morning but provided limited updates on a couple of key Jayhawks who left the field hurt at Texas Tech.

The head coach said he thinks sophomore defensive line standouts Dorance Armstrong Jr. and Daniel Wise should

KU-Baylor kickoff set Following the Jayhawks’ first home game in four weeks, they will hit the road again Oct. 15 for a road date with Baylor.

The Big 12 announced Monday the game will kick off at 2:30 p.m. and air on FOX Sports 1.

The Bears are 11-4 alltime versus Kansas and a perfect 7-0 in Waco, Texas.

produced for us,” Beaty said.

“The thing I love about those two guys is they are for each other, man.

Those guys on the sideline are working hand in hand, and today when we talked to both those guys, neither one of them batted an eye, and they’re ready to go,” the KU coach shared. “I mean,

they’re team guys. I know Ryan’s excited about it, and we’re looking forward to seeing him take advantage of the opportunity.”

Beaty, who also serves as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, didn’t indicate whether he would stick with a two-quarterback approach. The head coach

did say he hopes to see the offense run more efficiently with Willis at QB. “For us to really utilize this offense the way it needs to be used, you’ve gotta be able to string first downs together,” Beaty said. “And that calls for accurate execution in all areas — not just at the quarterback, but up front and in all those

areas. You know, we are getting closer. But close is for hand grenades, man. I mean, we’ve gotta execute, and it’s gotta be precise, and we know that. We understand that going in.”

All 11 players on offense, Beaty added, need to make things run more smoothly for KU (1-3 overall, 0-1 Big 12).

“You can not do it by yourself,” he said.

“Those guys up front, they’ve gotta do a nice job. Those guys out wide have gotta do a great job of getting open and then they’ve gotta make the plays when it’s there.

Even when they’re not supposed to make plays, they’ve gotta make plays.”

Royals rue end to once-promising season SCOREBOARD

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — For two decades, finishing at .500 would have given the Royals reason to celebrate.

Two trips to the World Series changes perspective.

The Royals spent the first day after the regular season Monday ruing how a season full of promise went awry.

There were devastating injuries, key acquisitions failed to live up to big contracts and an offense predicated on manufacturing runs was too often rendered outof-order.

“We expected to perform much better and it just didn’t happen,” general manager Dayton Moore said. “It’s sad that it ended the way it did.

We obviously wish we were still playing. But we’ve got work to do, as every offseason demands, and we’ll go to work starting tomorrow in Arizona.”

Not all is lost. Not by a long shot.

The Royals return most of their core from last year’s championship team next year, and are primed for one more run at the postseason. Their window to reach another World Series could close afterward as stars such as Eric Hosmer, Lorenzo Cain and Danny Duffy reach free agency in 2018.

“That’s something we discuss constantly,” Moore said. “We

won’t be able to sign them all, as you know.

That’s a tough question and that’s something we’ll have to figure out.”

There is still plenty of work to do before next season, though. Here are the story lines that will dominate the offseason, which came far too early for fans in Kansas City.

2016 Postseason Baseball Glance

Getting Healthy Moustakas should be ready for spring after surgery to repair his ACL, and others dealt with nagging injuries that limited them down the stretch: Sal Perez had hamstring and knee trouble, Hosmer had a wrist injury, Cain was dealing with a sprained hand. More than anything else, the Royals simply need to get to full strength by spring.

Starting Rotation The Royals struggled all season to find a fifth starter, finally getting left-hander Jason Vargas back from Tommy John surgery in the waning weeks of the regular season. He should be ready to go for spring, but there are still holes in the rotation.

Edinson Volquez has a mutual option for next season, though it is hardly a foregone conclusion either side will exercise it. Volquez may want to shoot for a multiyear deal while the Royals may be reticent to pay him $10 million after he went 10-11 with a 5.37 ERA. Duffy, Vargas, Yordano Ventura and Ian Kennedy still should give the Royals three solid starters.

But they could be in the market again for that fifth arm.

KANSAS CITY ROYALS STARTING PITCHER IAN KENNEDY tips his cap as he leaves during the eighth inning of a baseball game against the Cleveland Indians Sunday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. “We’re living above our means,” Moore admitted, when asked about taking on another big contract. “This payroll was put together to go deep into the postseason, and I’m accountable for that. It’s not going to look very good on the spreadsheet and that’s not going to look very good when the bill comes due.”

Speaking Of Money The Royals will have to decide whether to exercise a $10 million option on All-Star closer Wade Davis and a $6.5 million option on light-hitting shortstop Alcides Escobar. Davis is a relative easy one. Despite dealing with injuries, he had a 1.87 ERA with 27 saves.

Escobar is a bit trickier. The Royals could pay a $500,000 buyout and give the job to upcoming prospect Raul Mondesi Jr., using the savings to address other issues.

“I’m working hard and just waiting for my time,” Mondesi said. “Offseason, I’m going to work. Next year, come focused and concentrate and do my job.”

Those Other Issues One of the priorities will likely be retaining designated hitter Kendrys Morales, who will be looking for a multiyear deal after hitting .263 with 30 homers and 93 RBIs. The reason he was invaluable was that Kansas City struggled to score runs, and he was one of the only power bats in the lineup. Along with bringing him back, the Royals will be looking for another impact bat in the outfield from a relatively week freeagent class.

Window Closing Hosmer, Cain, Duffy and several others are under club control through next season, but that doesn’t mean Moore will wait for them to hit free agency.

There is a good chance he begins the difficult negotiations on longterm deals to retain what they view as their core.

“I’m really proud of these players. They’re my kind of guys,” said manager Ned Yost, who will also be back next season. “They play hard and they never quit.

That makes it fun.”

NFL ROUNDUP

Vikings deny Beckham, mystify Manning in win Vikings 24, Giants 10 Minneapolis (ap) — Minnesota’s defense denied Odell Beckham Jr. all night and forced two turnovers that led to 10 points, and the team mystified Eli Manning yet again during a victory Monday over New York.

Sam Bradford threw a touchdown pass to tight end Kyle Rudolph for the

third straight game and kept his turnover-free streak intact, helping the Vikings (4-0) lead from start to finish after falling behind in each of their first three wins.

Beckham, who has yet to score this season, was smothered by cornerback Xavier Rhodes and had 23 yards on three catches.

Here's What Morton Customers Say

Tecumseh — Nick Howard scored two goals, and Free State High’s boys soccer team tied Shawnee Heights, 2-2, on Monday.

Heitor Nazareth and Peter Junge had assists for the Firebirds (6-3-1).

“The whole process— it was quick and the quality was there, they did not cut corners, they took their time, they knew what they were doing. It was a really, really overall positive experience.”
