Same-sex couples take their case to federal level

Pairs seek to force state to issue birth certificates

he months-long search to fill the Lawrence City Commission vacancy ends today, when current commissioners will elect one of two final candidates.

The new commissioner — either geologist Lisa Larsen or editor/publisher Scott Morgan — will start in the position immediately.

Larsen or Morgan will add a fifth voice to a body that will soon be tasked with making decisions on a new police facility, the reconstruction of Kasold Drive and retail development near the South Lawrence Trafficway, among other items.

Please see DECISION, page 2A

If commissioners elect Lisa Larsen today, it will be the first time in almost 20 years that two women hold Lawrence City Commission seats at the same time.

According to city records, the last time this happened was the 1995-96 and 1996-97 terms, when Bonnie (Augustine) Lowe and F. Jolene Anderson were commissioners.

Prior to that, Marci Francisco served as mayor and Nancy Shontz as vice mayor in 1982-83. Francisco was also mayor in the 1981-82 term, during which Shontz served as a commissioner.

mark. That’s $3.25 million a month, and, thus far in 2015, every single month has produced that level of construction, and most of the time much more.

So, absent a significant slowdown to close the year, Lawrence is going to reach a new stratosphere in the construction world.

Ex-astronaut, KU prof recalls Hubble’s finds at lecture

By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark59

How old is the universe, and what is its ultimate fate? Do black holes really exist? Are there planets orbiting other stars?

Since Steve Hawley graduated from Kansas University in 1973, many of the questions he asked as a student have been answered.

The former NASA astronaut and current Kansas University professor discussed those answers and more Monday evening in Hawley a lecture entitled “Hubble Space Telescope at 25: How our understanding of the universe has changed (or, fun things you can do with an education in science, technology, math and engineering).”

The lecture also celebrated KU’s first two students to be recognized by the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation.

construction. That’s better than the old record of $171.9 million set in 2013.

This latest report tracks building activity through August, so Lawrence still has four months to add to its record-setting total.

KU Provost Jeff Vitter introduced Hawley, remarking on his “stellar career” — a comment that drew groans from the crowd of about 125.

Hawley first discussed the creation of the foundation, which was intended to encourage students nationwide to “pursue scientific endeavors, with the goal specifically of keeping America at the forefront of science and technology.”

He said candidates must be nominated by faculty and majoring in engineering, natural or applied science, with the intent to pursue research to advance their fields upon completion of their degree.

“For the past several years we’ve been working at KU to get (Kansas) University included (in the scholarship program),” Hawley said. “…

We were successful this year in getting accepted into the program.”

That meant the foundation was able to offer the two $10,000 scholarships to KU students for the first time this year: Jennifer Stern, a senior from Lawrence, and Jessica van Loben Sels, a senior from Albuquerque, N.M. “We hope to be able to do that every year as long as we continue to nominate candidates as qualified as our recipients today,” he said.

Hawley went on to discuss the Hubble’s shaky beginnings in 1990, when many in politics and the media — including former late night TV host David Letterman — mocked the telescope’s blurry, lowresolution images.

“We quickly figured out the reason for that was that the mirrors were the wrong shape,” he said. “… That was a real crisis.”

NASA fixed the problems in 1993, which enabled astronomers to start revolutionizing the

Decision CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Here’s what the candidates shared about a few upcoming issues during individual interviews with the Journal-World.

Police facility Both candidates said the Lawrence Police Department is in need of a facilities upgrade, but they don’t want it funded with a tax increase.

The department requested a new headquarters last year and has reiterated that its current locations — a Joint Law Enforcement Center downtown and an Investigation and Training Center in west Lawrence — are too small and don’t meet its needs.

Voters rejected in November a proposal to fund a $28 million facility with a sales tax increase.

Commissioners have discussed other options, but haven’t taken action.

The issue is listed under the City Commission’s “future agenda items.”

Larsen, who said she

knowledge we have about the universe.

Hawley went on to answer some of the questions he had posed as an astronomy student at KU. He said with help from the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have determined that the universe is approximately 13.7 billion years old. Part of that discovery was rooted in a long-exposure photo — 342 separate exposures, spanning 10 days in December of 1995, to be exact — that revealed thousands of specks, a majority of which are individual galaxies.

In 1997, Hawley said, scientists saw one of the “first definitive detections” proving the existence of black holes.

Since then, much larger black holes have been discovered.

Astronomers also used the Hubble to observe distant supernovae to refine their understanding of the expansion of the universe in the late 1990s. They discovered that it is expanding much more rapidly than they previously thought, Hawley said.

“The universe somehow contains this thing which we call ‘dark energy.’ Astronomers are really good at naming stuff even when we don’t know what it is,” he joked. “And this dark energy works like a negative gravity, and it’s causing the universe not only to expand but to speed up.”

Combining this knowledge with prior knowledge of dark matter, astronomers have determined 95 percent of what makes the universe what it is is “stuff we don’t know anything about,” Hawley said.

“We now think we understand about 5 percent of the universe,” Hawley said. “But, on the other hand, it’s further down for all of you young researchers to tackle.”

The one thing that we’ve been keeping our eyes open for is exactly this scenario — that the admin would go back on its word, and CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A that it would start treating same-sex couples In August, Judge Dan- as second-class citizens.”

iel Crabtree granted what’s called a “declaratory” judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, meaning he struck down the provision of the Kansas Constitution and all other state statutes that banned same-sex marriages.

But he deferred issuing any kind of order or injunction compelling the state of Kansas to comply, saying he was hopeful that the state would comply on its own.

He then gave all parties in the case until Sept. 15 to submit additional evidence showing that the state either was or wasn’t complying with the decision, and he gave the parties an additional 21 days beyond that, which was Monday, to respond to evidence presented by the other side.

On Sept. 15, state officials submitted numerous affidavits and documents showing that county officials throughout Kansas were granting marriage licenses and certificates, and that the Kansas Department of Health and Environment’s Office of Vital Statistics was recording them.

But on Monday, the ACLU filed affidavits from three women who said the state was still not granting their marriages full recognition because it would not issue birth certificates listing both women in their marriages as parents of the children conceived through artificial insemination.

She said if elected, she would work with other commissioners to determine where the facility fell among the body’s current priorities.

“The physical facilities — something has to be done with them,” Larsen said. “Whether consolidation or retrofitting or a combination, I don’t know yet.”

Morgan said he’d support a new headquarters.

He thinks commissioners should take into account the public’s opinion and adjust the department’s plan.

He said he doesn’t have a timeline for when he’d want the issue taken up, rather, “I just know it’s important and something I would be supportive of pushing along.

“I support it, and I think I could really help — with understanding Lawrence the way I do — help move it along,” Morgan said. “Not just repeat the same exact plan and

think you’re going to get success, but take a step back, adjust it and come back with a Plan B.” Neither Larsen nor Morgan was in favor of a sales tax increase to fund upgrades. Neither had a clear idea of where the funding would come from, but both said they’d need to look further into the project’s feasibility.

Street reconfiguration Neither candidate said they’d support one of two options for the reconstruction of Kasold Drive — a project that has faced opposition throughout the past four months.

Work is expected to start in 2016 or 2017 on the section of Kasold Drive from approximately Sixth Street to Bob Billings Parkway.

One option, titled the “typical street option,” includes four lanes and a traffic signal at the intersection of Harvard Road and Kasold Drive. The other, dubbed the “complete street option,” is two lanes with a roundabout at the Harvard-Kasold intersection.

“Complete street” refers to street planning

September. She and her wife, Jessica Smith, an assistant soccer coach at Kansas University, were married in California in 2013.

The other affidavits came from Christa Gonser and her wife, Carrie Hunt, who live in the Kansas City area. They were married in Canada in 2007.

Hunt gave birth Sept.

22 at Kansas University Hospital to twins who were conceived through artificial insemination.

Both couples note that their children were conceived through artificial insemination using sperm from an anonymous donor and that the procedures were done with the knowledge and consent of both spouses.

They also cite a 1968 Kansas law that says children born as a result of such a procedure, “shall be considered at law in all respects the same as a naturally conceived child of the husband and wife so requesting and consenting to the use of such technique.”

Gonser stated in her affidavit that KU Hospital would not list both women as parents because its computer software only has an option for naming a mother and a father.

She said she later contacted KDHE to request a birth certificate, but was told by an official in the Office of Vital Statistics that, “since I was in a samesex marriage, I could

Morgan said his experience as a school board member made him “leery of prepackaged things with clever names.”

He said he would want to hear from city engineers about how a transition to two traffic lanes would create a steady traffic flow, as proposed.

“I go into it with a healthy amount of questioning, but I’m open to the idea,” Morgan said.

“There’s a lot of unknowns yet for me, and I don’t just blindly accept it.”

Larsen said she was “definitely for complete streets,” but that the input of those living along Kasold Drive needs to be considered.

Morgan noted that the space proposed for the Southpoint shopping center has already been zoned by the city as commercial.

He said he would be against the development of a “fake downtown,” such as the Zona Rosa development in Kansas City, Mo., or Legends Outlets in Kansas City, Kan. “We have a real downtown here, and I think that’s probably all this community needs,” he said. “But there’s a lot of development that can happen that doesn’t challenge downtown.”

Morgan said he thought Lawrence could support more retail and commercial development. He doesn’t think Southpoint would “light the fuse on sprawl” because of the surrounding floodplain.

the South Lawrence Trafficway — specifically the proposed Southpoint shopping center — both Morgan and Larsen voiced concerns over pulling shoppers away from downtown.

In August, the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission recommended for approval the proposal of the Southpoint shopping center, a 250,000-square-foot retail space located at the southeast corner of the SLT and Iowa Street interchange.

The plan next heads to the City Commission.

A significantly larger development project for the site was proposed last year but never won approval.

Larsen said she did not have an opinion on that specific project.

She does have concerns, however, with “overbuilding.”

Author donates to LGBT section of school library

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

After young adult literature author Bill Konigsberg finished speaking to more than 100 Free State High School students on Monday, about a dozen students lingered. After one student thanked him for his visit and asked if she could give him a hug, several more did the same.

Konigsberg is the author of three books — “Out of the Pocket,� “Openly Straight� and “The Porcupine of Truth� — and visited the

school to donate those and 50 other books to the school library’s newly established LGBT section.

As part of his visit, Konigsberg talked about his experience as a gay teenager of feeling confused, disconnected and withdrawn. He thought he had a shameful secret, and those feelings stemmed in part from not seeing LGBT people represented around him, he said. “When I was a teen, there were no books in my school library that reflected people like me,� Konigsberg said.

“Out of the Pocket� won the Lambda Literary Award in the LGBT Children’s/Young Adult category in 2009 and “Openly Straight� was on the American Library Association’s list of Best Fiction for Young Adults in 2014.

Free State teacher Nancy Hopkins initiated the effort to gather books for the school library’s collection by emailing authors, and she said was surprised by the positive response, especially Konigsberg’s offer to not only donate his books, but to deliver them in person. Hopkins

said that she began sending emails to authors about a month ago, and now — including the 50 books from Konigsberg — the collection has about 250 books. “It’s important for all kids to have characters they can relate to,� she said. “I’ve had an absolutely stunning response.�

Culling Kansas voter records may take weeks Staff and Wire Reports

Topeka — Some Kansas counties expect to take at least several weeks to cancel incomplete voter registrations from residents who haven’t documented their U.S. citizenship, local election officials said Monday.

Local officials also said even when they’re done culling the more than 31,000 records as required under a new rule from Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the canceled registrations still will be accessible in their voter registration databases.

Kobach has directed counties to cancel incomplete registrations older than 90 days, with most from prospective voters who haven’t met the proof-ofcitizenship requirement.

A 2013 state law requires new voters to produce a birth certificate,

passport or other citizenship papers when registering. Kansas is only one of four states with such a law, and its incomplete registrations ballooned to nearly 37,700 last week.

In Sedgwick County, Election Commissioner Tabitha Lehman said her staff is first reviewing the records of 1,700 people who appear to have Kansas birth certificates on file with the state health department. The possible matches came from Kobach’s office, which checks incomplete registrations against birth records monthly.

Lehman said the checking should take a week before her staff begins reviewing other incomplete registrations to see how many should be canceled.

Sedgwick County had 8,400 incomplete registrations — the most of any county — and about 7,000 older than 90 days.

“This is not something that is going to quickly get done,” she said.

Kobach faces a federal lawsuit challenging both the proof-of-citizenship law and his directive to counties to cull registration records.

The secretary of state said he’s not surprised some of the state’s 105 counties need weeks to review and cancel incomplete registrations, particularly populous ones. He said his “reasonable time limit” keeps them from having to keep calling or sending notices by mail to people who have moved or have no interest in completing their registrations.

Kobach said the fact that counties mark such records as canceled without deleting them permanently shows there’s no irreparable harm in the process.

“The critics of our proof-of-citizenship system have completely

Vitter CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Vitter said he remains committed to and focused on KU’s initiatives but called the chancellor’s job at Arkansas a “very special opportunity.”

“It’s really an opportunity to make a huge impact on the future vitality of the state, as well as the nation, and higher education needs to play that leading role for the good of our society,” Vitter said.

“Arkansas is a great upand-coming university.

Having grown up in the Deep South, that’s a great attraction to me, as well.”

Vitter noted that Arkansas is home to multiple Fortune 500 companies’ headquarters and that hundreds more have satellite presences in the state. He said the university is looking to implement a strategic plan, which he’s had experience crafting at KU and other universities.

Vitter called Bold Aspirations a “game-changer” for KU. He said he was gratified by the progress so far — including in the areas of research, curriculum and student recruitment — and that the plan should have KU on a good trajectory for the future.

overblown what’s happening,” he said.

But Doug Bonney, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas, said he sees no problem with allowing registrations to remain incomplete, particularly when counties need weeks to finish canceling them anyway.

Also, he said, some prospective voters’ constitutional right to equal protection under the law could be violated because counties are handling the incomplete registrations uniformly.

“All of these people are citizens,” he said. “It’s just ridiculous.”

Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said he won’t start purging the voting list just yet.

Instead, Shew said last week, he will start a new 90-day clock, giving the roughly 1,400 would-be voters in Douglas County that much additional time CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A to complete registrations.

Kansas judicial funding dispute moves to federal court in each of the state’s 31 judicial districts, transferring the power to the district judges instead.

The Legislature sought earlier this year to preserve the change by enacting another law saying that if the first policy is invalidated, the judicial branch’s entire budget through June 2017 is “null and void.”

Critics contend that both laws are an attack by the GOP-controlled Legislature and the state’s Republican governor on the judiciary’s independence, while supporters argue that they just want some key administrative decisions made locally.

Shawnee County District Judge Larry Hendricks struck down the 2014 law last month, calling it an unconstitutional interference. But he put his ruling on hold at the request of Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt. That temporarily ended the threat to the court system’s funding.

In a separate lawsuit, the four judges are challenging the constitutionality of the measure that the Legislature passed and Gov. Sam Brownback signed this year, which ties state court funding to the ruling over the appointment of chief judges. They contend that it amounts to the extortion

of an independent branch of government.

“It is unconscionable, it is unconstitutional and it is against every principle of law that is applicable under these circumstances and for that reason,” said Pedro Irigonegaray, the attorney representing the judges, on Monday.

“I am confident a court — whether federal or state — will reach determination that this type of behavior cannot be tolerated in our democracy.”

No decision has been made yet on whether to oppose the state’s removal last Friday of the case to federal court, Irigonegaray said.

cases, too, primarily in day care children, younger elementary age children and caregivers. The disease is spread by fecal-oral contact, so handwashing after changing diapers or using the restroom and avoiding preparing food or drinks for others are important to prevent the spread.

What’s unusual and concerning about this outbreak, Snook said, is that they’re seeing at least three antibiotic-resistant patterns. Specifically, cases are “sonnei,” one of four categories of shigella and the most commonly seen in the United States.

Picking said she was surprised by the antibiotic-resistive angle of the outbreak. Medical doctors and epidemiologists are the ones handling it from a disease management perspective, she said, but she hopes to learn more from health officials that could help inform her study.

“Our interest in this lies purely from the basic science research that we could get out if it,” she said. “How are they capturing the antibioticresistant genes?”

Picking said her shigella vaccine is planned for human clinical trials next fall,

the next step in a long and expensive process of getting it to the people whose lives it could save. She reiterated why she believes a vaccine is important for developing nations.

In developed countries, including the United States, where water is clean and health care access is widespread, shigella does not carry the risk of death due to dehydration that it does elsewhere, Picking said.

Pact’s collapse raises Mideast risk

EDITORIALS

Full force The new Lawrence city commissioner appointed tonight will have to hit the ground running.

T

he only major business on tonight’s Lawrence City Commission agenda is the appointment and swearing in of a new commissioner to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of former Mayor Jeremy Farmer.

Last week, the commission narrowed the field to two people: Lisa Larsen and Scott Morgan. Barring any surprises, one of those two will be sworn into office tonight and hopefully will be ready to hit the ground running.

In the nearly two months since Farmer left the commission, city business has been stacking up. Discussion of options to meet the Lawrence Police Department’s facility needs has been on hold, as have key decisions needed to allow a number of local development projects and other city projects to move forward.

In some of those cases, issues may have been intentionally delayed until the commission was at full force. Even with four commissioners, a majority of three was required to pass any measure, meaning there was less room for dissent on any given issue. A tie on the four-member commission would leave a decision in limbo.

The commission’s agenda for the last several weeks has been pretty much bare bones. Restoring the commission to full strength will allow it to get back to work on a number of key issues. Although the top item is the hiring of a new city manager, commissioners don’t need to fill that position before making decisions on a number of other projects and initiatives.

Neither Morgan nor Larsen has previously served on the commission, and whichever one is appointed will face a steep learning curve. Hopefully, the appointee will be a quick study. The commission — and consequently the city’s business — has been in a bit of a holding pattern for the last several weeks, and it needs to get back to work.

On a bright, sunny day in September of 1993, I stood on the White House lawn watching Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat sign the Oslo peace accords in front of President Bill Clinton. At that moment, it was possible to suspend disbelief and imagine a two-state solution, with Israel and Palestine living side by side.

Twenty years on, Rabin and Arafat are dead, and so is the Oslo peace process — although politicians from Israel and the West are loath to admit this.

Last week at the United Nations, however, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said his government could no longer be bound by the Oslo pact, emphasizing Israeli settlement-building on the West Bank among his many grievances. Abbas warned that the Palestinian Authority would halt all cooperation with Israel, which would require Jerusalem to resume full occupation of the West Bank. His remarks are a warning of serious trouble ahead.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was focused on denouncing the Iran nuclear deal, made only a pro forma reference to peace talks, along with a slap at Abbas. There was little sign that the Israeli leader recognized the high cost to his nation of allowing the Oslo process to come to a formal close.

Dangers closer to home Netanyahu’s worries about Iran are understandable given Iranian leaders’ frequent denunciation of “the Zionist state” and insistence that Israel will cease to exist in coming decades.

But his obsession with the ayatollahs — who aren’t likely to ever attack the

Abbas warned that the Palestinian Authority would halt all cooperation with Israel, which would require Jerusalem to resume full occupation of the West Bank. His remarks are a warning of serious trouble ahead.” nuclear-armed Jewish state directly — seems to have blinded him to dangers closer to home.

Foremost among them is long-term Israeli rule over millions of disenfranchised Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.

Rabin signed the Oslo accords because he recognized the risk of such rule. He warned in 1976 that it could lead to a form of apartheid.

He also warned that Israeli settlements were “comparable to a cancer in the tissue of Israel’s democratic society.”

A fanatic advocate of those settlements shot Rabin dead in 1995.

With peace talks on hold, irrespective of who is to blame, the vast expansion of Jewish settlements convinces Palestinians — and the world — that Israel wants to keep the West Bank. The placement of settler towns and roads

splits the area into cantons connected mainly by tunnels and bridges.

An even broader network of dozens of “illegal” settlements, built by radical youths and allegedly slated for dismantlement, is instead being gradually legalized by the Israeli government. They are filling in the territorial gaps among older settlements, further separating Palestinian towns and villages from each other and from their agricultural land.

Rising tensions Even if peace talks resume, the chaos in the Middle East would make any final deal impossible for years to come. But the settlements rule out any prospect of two states in the future.

As a result, tensions are rising sharply on the West Bank. Last week, an Israeli settler couple were shot to death while driving in the West Bank with their four children. Meantime, radical settler youths have been harassing or attacking Palestinian civilians, recently burning a Palestinian family to death in their home.

Abbas’ speech was a warning that the status quo can’t last.

As part of the Oslo accords, Palestinian police and intelligence forces work with Israel to prevent violence on the West Bank.

For the most part, they have been successful, keeping in check the West Bank’s radicals, including those who sympathize with Gaza’s Hamas extremists.

Yet it becomes harder and harder for Abbas to continue that cooperation as settlements expand — and occupation promises to become permanent. Palestinians ac-

cuse his security forces of acting as collaborators.

Terrorism in West Bank If Abbas’ security cooperation lapses, Israel will have to formally reinstate military control of the West Bank. That would be bound to provoke a major resumption of terrorist attacks in Greater Israel, provoking Israeli countermeasures, which in turn would guarantee more terrorism, etc.

Until now, Abbas’ forces have prevented jihadi groups from taking root in the West Bank. The scenario above would ensure that they emerge.

Moreover, Abbas’ Palestinian Authority administers the West Bank, with heavy subsidies from international financial institutions and the European Union. Should his government, a product of the Oslo agreement, decide to stand down, Israel would have to formally resume running all the West Bank’s services. The restoration of overt occupation would be complete.

So rather than ignore Abbas’ words, the Israeli government should start thinking seriously about how to prevent such an outcome.

Yes, Abbas has threatened to dissolve the Palestinian Authority before and failed to follow through, but the death of the Oslo process may force his hand.

It’s time for Netanyahu to pay attention. The best way to start would be to freeze the expansion of settlements that rule out any future agreement with the Palestinians.

Otherwise, Israel will soon face a growing security threat from within.

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for Oct. 6, 1915: “For more than three hours Saturday night, the business section of Lawrence was given years over to students of the University ago in their annual nightshirt parade, to IN 1915 celebrate the opening of the football season and the victory over William Jewell. The parade was the biggest in the history of the school … Cheerleader Joe Gaitskill and his assistant were able to keep good order. Merchants gave away hundreds of dollars worth of apples, cigars, candy and soda water to the celebrating students.”

“A freshman at the University was badly beaten twice this morning by two different crowds of students because he didn’t have on a freshman cap as required by the student council rules. The first beating was administered near the Administration building. The second was given when the student, on his way home, had reached the law building and was assailed by a group of law students. ... The student who was beaten was in Lawrence high school last year.

He earned every cent of his way through school last year and is engaged in the same work at the University this year. It is believed that his failure to buy and wear a freshman cap was caused by an absolute inability to devote the required half-dollar to the purpose that would have meant conformity to student customs and immunity from harsh treatment.”

As you may expect in a university town, construction geared toward the young — the Here project and the greek house expansions add up to about $50 million — is in the lead.

But it is interesting to note that Lawrence has about $25 million worth of construction work underway related to senior living.

One other thing to keep in mind is that the building permit totals don’t fully reflect all of the construction that has been going on in Lawrence.

As we have noted, the millions of dollars worth of school district renovations have not received a building permit, and thus don’t show up in these construction totals. Future projects will, though.

Plus, as has long been the case, KU projects also don’t show up in the totals. KU projects go through the state-approved building process.

So, the millions of dollars in dormitory work and construction of the new business school building aren’t included.

Roadwork also isn’t included in any totals, but the South Lawrence Trafficway construction is one of the largest construction projects ever undertaken in the city.

That is approximately $130 million worth of construction.

Doyle Rice USA TODAY

The biblical flooding in South Carolina is at least the sixth socalled 1-in-1,000-year rain event in the U.S. since 2010, a trend that may be linked to factors ranging from the natural, such as a strong El Niño, to the man-made, namely climate change.

So many 1-in-1,000-year rainfalls is unprecedented, said meteorologist Steve Bowen of Aon Benfield, a global reinsurance firm. “We have certainly had our fair share in the United States in recent years,” Bowen said.

A “1-in-1,000-year event” means that there’s a 1 in 1,000 (or 0.1%) chance of it happening in any given year in a given location, the Na-

tional Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said.

In addition to the floods in South Carolina, the other 1in-1,000-year rain events include the Tennessee floods in May 2010, the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast and New England drenching during Hurricane Irene in 2011, the Colorado Springs floods in 2013, the deluge in Baltimore in August 2014, and the flooding earlier this year in Nebraska, according to Bowen.

Scientists say there could be a connection between these floods and man-made climate change.

Research has confirmed that our warming climate is making intense short-term rains even heavier in many parts of the U.S. and the world, as warmer temperatures allow more moisture to evaporate from oceans and flow into rain-making storm systems, Weather Underground meteorologist Bob Henson said.

However, when speaking about

this specific event, “I am very lukewarm on a climate change linkage,” said University of Georgia meteorologist Marshall Shepherd in an email.

He said there is scientific evidence that the worst heavy rain events are increasing, “but I am not sure you can conclusively link this event.”

Bowen added that huge floods occurred long before man-made climate change was an issue. “Atmospheric river events in particular have led to unbelievable rains throughout our recorded history, most notably the 1861-62 floods in California that flooded the Central Valley,” he said.

Given the vast size of the USA, it shouldn’t be that surprising for extreme flooding to occur somewhere, Weather Underground meteorologist Bob Henson said.

“Even very rare events do happen on a very limited basis when you’re looking at a large area such as the United States,” he said.

Carson suggests more people should be armed with guns Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who trails only Donald Trump at the top of the Republican presidential field, said the lesson of the nation’s latest mass shooting isn’t to enact more limits on guns but to consider whether gun-free zones actually may draw shooters.

In a wide-ranging interview with Capital Download, Carson endorsed expanding efforts to NEW YORK

identify and treat the mentally ill before they commit acts of violence. He suggested it might make sense to arm kindergarten teachers, and he rejected as wrongheaded proposals to restore the ban on military-style assault weapons.

“Would that have prevented this? No,” Carson told USA TODAY’s weekly newsmaker series. “Would it have prevented the one before? No. I’m for doing things that work, not for things that stroke the emotions.”

MICHAEL MONDAY FOR USA TODAY

v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

The United States and 11 other Pacific Rim nations struck a tentative trade agreement Monday, a landmark deal that has the potential to transform the global economy, divide political parties in Congress and roil the U.S. presidential race.

As President Obama and aides began selling the agreement to Congress and the public, critics denounced it as yet another freetrade deal that will help ship American jobs overseas.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) will “promote economic growth” and “support higher paying jobs,” U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman said.

The massive agreement — which faces months of debate in Congress — would tie together nearly 40% of the world’s economy, from Canada to Chile to Japan to Australia; it would be the largest regional trade agreement in history.

Obama said, “Congress and the American people will have months to read every word” before he signs the deal. “If we can get this agreement to my desk, then we can help our businesses sell more Made in America goods and services around the world,” Obama said.

Critics, including Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, said employers will use the deal to move jobs to countries that have lower wages and fewer regulations. “In the Senate, I will do all that I can to defeat this agreement,” said Sanders, a Vermont senator.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnnell, R-Ky., the chamber’s top Republican, vowed “intense scrutiny” of the proposed agreement, noting that it “could shape our engagement and commerce with these nations for decades.” McConnell said the Senate wants to open trade “in a way that benefits American manufacturers, farmers and innovators,” but “serious concerns have been raised on a number of key issues.”

Outgoing House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said more trade means better jobs and pay, but the GOP-led Congress must ensure that the deal as proposed “meets the highest standards before moving forward.”

Government officials across the Pacific Rim hailed the proposed agreement as an advance for the global economy. In Tokyo, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called it “a major outcome ... for the future of the Asia-Pacific.”

In addition to the U.S. and Japan, other TPP nations are Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.

Not included: China. Obama promoted the TPP as a way for the U.S. and its allies to counter China’s economic power in Asia.

Islamic State’s latest victim: Arch in ancient Syrian city Militants blow up ‘icon of Palmyra’ Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

The Islamic State has blown up the iconic Arch of Triumph in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra, officials said Monday.

Maamun Abdulkarim, the country’s head of antiquities, said he was told the “icon of Palmyra,” which stood at the entrance to the UNESCO world heritage site, was destroyed by the militants on Sunday, according to Agence

France-Presse.

He called on the international community to “find a way to save Palmyra,” which was a center for art and commerce in Roman times, and warned that militants have laid explosives in other monuments.

Abdulkarim told AFP that the extremists, also known as ISIL or ISIS, “booby-trapped” the arch, which is thought to be around 2,000 years old, “several weeks ago.”

“We are living through a catastrophe. Since the capture of the city, it has been one shock after another,” he told the agency.

In a statement on its official

Tourists at the arch in the ancient city of Palmyra, Syria, in 2009.

Facebook page Monday, Syria’s presidency described Palmyra as an integral part of the history of human civilization and condemned the destruction of the arch. The Islamic State has embarked on a campaign to destroy monuments that predate Islam and artifacts the militant group says promote idolatry since it seized Palmyra in May. Last month, news reports surfaced that the Islamic radicals destroyed the city’s ancient tower tombs, which date from 100 A.D. In August, they beheaded archaeologist Khaled al-Asaad, a caretaker at the site, and in July, militants released a video appar-

ently showing a mass execution of soldiers within the ruins.

The Islamic State has also destroyed the 2,000-year-old Temple of Bel — Palmyra’s main temple — the smaller Temple of Baal-Shamim, other ancient temples, modern day Islamic cemeteries and shrines.

“This is a systematic destruction of the city. They want to raze it completely,” Abdulkarim told AFP. “They want to destroy the amphitheater, the colonnade. We now fear for the entire city.”

Before the civil war began in Syria in 2011, Palmyra’s ruins were a major attraction, bringing in about 150,000 tourists a year.

Training Afghan soldiers is just not working David J. Lynch

Special for USA TODAY

On an Afghan army base this spring, I got a glimpse of the security forces that are responsible for winning the war against the Taliban now that the U.S. has stepped back from an active combat role.

I expected to see local recruits being schooled in how to fight.

Instead, soldiers hefting wooden replica rifles were being drilled — not in battlefield skills — but in how to build dining halls.

Perhaps they can challenge the Taliban to a bake-off.

The scene would have been amusing if the stakes weren’t so high. Training others to fight battles the U.S. regards as important is at the heart of the Obama administration’s strategy in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.

It’s not working. Last week, the Taliban seized control of Kunduz, a provincial capital of 300,000 people, marking the first time the extremists had taken control of a city in 14 years of near-constant warfare. As Afghan forces tried to retake it, U.S. warplanes — still available for emergency support — bombed a local hospital, killing 22 people, including patients and staff.

The debacle in Afghanistan — which no doubt will be discussed Tuesday when Gen. John Campbell, the top U.S. officer there,

testifies on Capitol Hill — only mirrors what’s occurred elsewhere. In Iraq, U.S.-trained units melted amid the Islamic State’s 2014 onslaught, and in Syria, the training program thus far has turned out a mere handful of fighters.

This is wishful thinking masquerading as foreign policy.

And it has a long history. Almost 50 years ago, President Richard Nixon sought to withdraw GIs from Vietnam by “Vietnamizing” the war — shifting responsibility for ground combat to our South Vietnamese ally. Ultimately, local forces were not up to the task.

More recently, the Pentagon identified training foreign fighters as a critical need in the 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review.

Then-secretary of Defense Robert Gates wrote an oft-quoted Foreign Affairs article five years ago saying the military, which has historically promoted officers for just about any reason other than training acumen, needs to improve in that area.

Such efforts aren’t inexpensive. The U.S. has spent more than $65 billion training and equipping its Afghan surrogates.

It will spend an additional $4 billion this year.

Yet problems persist. In Afghanistan, the U.S. training program often has been short of manpower and equipment.

Many of the trainers have no experience before starting their work. Some of their pupils turn on them: At least 83 American or coalition personnel have been

JALIL REZAYEE, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Afghan National Army soldiers attend their graduation ceremony in Herat, Afghanistan, on Monday. Afghan forces took over responsibility for the country’s security on Jan. 1. killed since the start of 2012 in so-called green-on-blue attacks.

That may explain the wooden rifles I saw on the base outside of Mazar-e-Sharif, where rusting Soviet-era tanks and armored personnel carriers bear witness to Afghanistan’s nearly unbroken four-decade history of conflict.

Yet the current training is aimed at bureaucrats more than warriors, revolving around administrative functions such as budgeting and planning rather than the best way to fire a rifle or mount an attack. The Afghan combat engineers I saw don’t

even learn critical battlefield skills such as erecting bridges under fire.

And while progress has been made, the finish line is nowhere in sight. The president plans to withdraw almost all of the 9,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan by the end of next year, counting on the Afghans to defend themselves.

A German colonel who was among the NATO trainers I spoke with in May told me the allies could stay in Afghanistan for 30 years and not finish the job. Afghans are notoriously fierce warriors, but their will to

fight is only as strong as the government they defend. Feeble public institutions along with sectarian divides undermine military cohesion.

When a few hundred Taliban are able to overrun several thousand government soldiers and police — as happened in Kunduz — it tells you one thing.

Wooden rifles and dining halls won’t win this war.

Lynch reported from more than 60 countries as a USA TODAY foreign correspondent between 1997 and 2005.

Carson: Gun-free zones may attract shooters v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Carson outlines how his political philosophy on gun control and other issues is grounded in the Constitution in a new book, A More Perfect Union, published Tuesday by Sentinel. One of the trio of outsiders who have shaken the GOP race this year, the renowned pediatric neurosurgeon combines a soft-spoken manner with strongly held and hardedged conservative views, particularly on social issues.

“If I had a little kid in kindergarten somewhere I would feel much more comfortable if I knew on that campus there was a police officer or somebody who was trained with a weapon,” he said.

Including the teacher? “If the teacher was trained in the use of that weapon and had access to it, I would be much more comfortable if they had one than if they didn’t.”

He said the idea of declaring gun-free zones may be counterproductive. The gunmen “tend to pick places that are gun-free zones,” he said. “They aren’t likely to go into a place where they are likely to get shot.”

He keeps a gun himself at a home he owns in a secluded area, “way out in the country, away from the police, away from anybody,” he said. “If someone is, you know, threatening your life or the life of your family and you don’t

have ready access to the police, I would prefer to have a mechanism for protecting myself.”

He’s never had to use it.

The nation’s debate over gun control has been spotlighted by the shooting rampage last week at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., that left nine victims dead before the shooter killed himself. Umpqua bans guns and other weapons, but state law allows people with concealed permits to carry guns on the campus.

Carson once supported the idea of banning assault weapons and armor-piercing ammunition, but he said he changed his mind after he read more about the his-

tory of tyranny, a subject explored in his 240-page book.

“Reading people like Daniel Webster, who talked about tyranny in Europe and said it would never occur in America because the American people were armed,” he said. “When you look at tyranny and how it occurs, the pattern is so consistent: Get rid of the guns for the people first so you can go in and dominate them.”

Asked whether many Americans worried less about the threat from the government and more about the threat of fellow citizens armed with assault rifles, Carson replied, “You need to be able to

IN BRIEF COAST GUARD SAYS CARGO SHIP SANK IN HURRICANE

The cargo ship that vanished five days ago near the Bahamas sank in the brutal seas and high winds of Hurricane Joaquin, but the search for survivors will continue, the Coast Guard said Monday.

Coast Guard Capt. Mark Fedor said the 790-foot container ship El Faro, with 33 people aboard, sank last week. Twenty-eight of the crew were Americans.

“We believe it sank in its last known position on Thursday,” Fedor said. “We are still looking for survivors or any signs of life.”

Fedor said aircraft searched 70,000 square nautical miles Sunday, the first day that weather allowed an intensive search. The rescue efforts are targeting two debris fields, one about 300 square miles and another of about 70 square miles, he said.

The Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general announced Monday he has reopened an investigation into allegations that Secret Service agents improperly accessed a more than decade-old job application of a congressman who has been a critic of the agency’s operations.

In a statement, the inspector general’s office, which is headed

by John Roth, announced the investigation of agents accessing the job application of Rep. Jason Chaffetz in 2003 was being reopened because Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy revised an account of when he first learned the Utah Republican had unsuccessfully applied for work at the service.

Last week, Roth issued a report detailing how 45 agency employees had accessed Chaffetz’s file, even though only four of those had “an arguable legitimate need” to do it.

Carson, 64, admitted to being surprised by his political rise since his address to the National Prayer Breakfast in 2013 drew the attention of evangelical Christians and others who urged him to get into politics. In the RealClearPolitics average of recent national polls, Trump runs first in the GOP field at 23%, followed by Carson at 17% and Carly Fiorina at 11%. Among the more traditional contenders — that is, those who have held elective office — only Florida Sen. Marco Rubio breaks into double digits, at 10%.

“It says that the people are actually starting to wake up and recognize that politics-as-usual is not taking us where we want to be,” Carson said of the strength of the outsider candidates.

He rejected any parallel to the observation that a president should have experience in politics, just as most people wouldn’t choose a brain surgeon who had never been in an operating room before. “Neurosurgery is considerably more complicated than politics,” he scoffed. “You don’t need to know nearly as much to be able to maneuver in the political world as you do in the operating room inside of somebody’s brain. It’s not even close.”

STRIKE HASN’T DAMAGED U.S.-AFGHAN TIES Experts say both sides will continue to work together despite hospital tragedy

Jim Michaels USA TODAY

An apparent U.S. airstrike that killed 22 people in an international hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, has shown no sign of undermining the Afghan government's unwavering support for a continued presence of U.S. forces in the country.

“I think the two sides can weather this tragedy,” said Lisa Curtis, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation. “There’s a lot of trust and confidence between the two governments.”

The Pentagon pledged a full investigation into Saturday's attack on the hospital, which was run by the international aid organization Doctors Without Borders. The group, which withdrew from the city following the airstrike, said the bombing destroyed the hospital, killing 10 patients and 12 staff members.

Gun plan could be a boost to Clinton Heidi M Przybyla USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton’s pledge to take on gun manufacturers and unilaterally tighten background check laws sets up a contrast with Bernie Sanders on one of the few issues where she has a more liberal record.

The Democratic front-runner’s proposal on gun control, which she rolled out the week after a mass shooting at an Oregon community college, could give her an issue that resonates with progressive voters backing the Vermont senator, a self-described socialist.

Sanders, who represents a state with a large number of gun owners, has a history of gun control opposition, including his vote while a member of the House in 1993 against the Brady Bill, which established background checks for firearm purchases.

“It’s got the potential to be a wedge issue,’’ particularly in the first Democratic primaries since 20 schoolchildren were gunned down in Newtown, Conn., in

On Monday, the Pentagon revised its account of the airstrike, saying it came at the request of Afghan forces and not to protect American advisers.

“We have now learned that on Oct. 3, Afghan forces advised that they were taking fire from enemy positions and asked for air support from U.S. forces,” Army Gen. John Campbell, the top commander of the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan, said at a Pentagon briefing.

“An airstrike was then called to eliminate the Taliban threat and several civilians were accidentally struck,” he said. “This is different from the initial reports, which indicated that U.S. forces were threatened and the airstrike was called on their behalf.”

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has been supportive of the presence of U.S. forces in his country, a sharp contrast to his predecessor. Hamid Karzai regularly assailed the U.S. military for errant

strikes on civilians and refused to sign an agreement to allow American forces to remain after the combat mission ended.

After the Kunduz bombing, Ghani released a statement saying that he mourned the loss of lives but did not criticize the U.S. presence.

The death toll rose to 10 and millions of South Carolinians remained homebound Monday as state emergency officials grappled with massive flooding following days of historic rains.

Authorities also reported two storm-related deaths in North Carolina.

The rain was finally ending late Monday, and sunshine was forecast for Tuesday. But South Carolina remained bloated with floodwaters leaving devastation in their wake.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton outlined her gun control plan at a town hall in New Hampshire.

2012, said Dante Scala, associate professor of political science at the University of New Hampshire.

Both candidates now support expanding background checks, though Clinton is vowing to close loopholes through executive action if Congress doesn’t act and also to go after manufacturers.

A gun debate in the wake of another mass shooting allows Clinton to “put some sunlight” between her and Sanders “without a personal attack and doesn’t make her appear to be playing catch-up on progressive issues,’’ said John Hudak, an expert on the politics of guns at the Brookings Institution.

In the past, Sanders has cited a “cultural divide’’ between highcrime urban areas and rural areas including Vermont, where hunting is popular, in explaining his position.

“He’s going to look very much like a politician on this issue,’’ said Hudak. “He’s going to have to do a gun control two-step in a way he hasn’t had to do on any other issue.’’

“There are very concrete steps we can take to lessen the number of tragedies and to make those that happen less lethal, including ideas supported by a majority of gun owners,’’ said Sanders, who plans to offer a more concrete plan on guns, in a statement.

of war and they want the U.S. to remain,” said Seth Jones, an analyst at RAND Corp.

The value of continued U.S. support was evident in the Kunduz offensive. The U.S. military launched airstrikes around the city as Afghan government forces pushed the Taliban out over the past week. U.S. advisers, meanwhile, assisted Afghan commandos and other forces involved in the offensive.

Most coalition advisers are distant from fighting units; the exception being U.S. special operations troops who accompany elite Afghan commando battalions. However, Campbell said coalition forces were not directly engaged in combat around Kunduz.

U.S. airstrikes generally occur now only to protect remaining coalition forces in Afghanistan or to respond to a dire threat, such as the survival of the U.S.-backed government in Kabul.

hundreds of water rescues.

Gov. Nikki Haley said 550 roads and bridges were closed.

About 40,000 residences were without water, and many more were dealing with a boil order.

“We are stronger today than we were yesterday,” Haley said at a news conference Monday, adding, “This is not over. Just because the rain stops does not mean that we are out of the woods.”

The National Weather Service said rainfall totaling 6.87 inches Sunday in Columbia made it the city’s all-time wettest day on record. The two-day rainfall total of 10.44 inches also set a record. The Charleston area set records as well; one suburb (near Mt. Pleasant) had seen more than 2 feet of rain since Thursday.

of Columbia, police on Monday afternoon said the Overcreek Bridge dam had been breached, The State reported.

Lt. Curtis Wilson of the Richland County Sheriff’s Department said police were conducting mandatory evacuations downstream from the dam. “We are now worried about the Forest Lake dam breaking,” said State Sen. Joel Lourie, D-Richland.

“The cost to infrastructure alone could be that much,” Bowen said in an email to USA TO-

DAY. “Unfortunately, as is the case with flood events, much of the damage will not be covered by insurance since only a small percentage of homeowners in South Carolina are current National Flood Insurance Program policyholders.”

Haley said Sunday that this type of rain event can be expected once in 1,000 years.

Hundreds of rescues included a mother and her 15-month-old daughter, plucked from the roof of their home Sunday by a Coast Guard air crew in Huger, about 25 miles north of Charleston.

Haley said President Obama called her Monday and offered additional assistance.

Much of the East has been sat-

urated by rains that have lingered since Thursday. Coastal areas of North Carolina and Virginia saw flooding, and flood warnings and watches were in effect along much of the East Coast. But the hovering storm saved its worst abuse for South Carolina.

Chris Morris is one of the lucky ones in his Charleston neighborhood. He said his home is on a raised slab and hasn’t been breached. He lives on a golf course, but you would not know that by looking at it. “We woke up ... to about 10 inches of water surrounding the house,” he told USA TODAY. “The golf course is completely under water.”

BP to pay record $20B settlement in Gulf spill Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The Justice Department announced a record $20 billion settlement Monday with British energy giant BP on Monday, more than five years after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill stained more than 1,300 miles of the Gulf of Mexico’s coastline in the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the resolution, which finalizes a deal first disclosed in July, marks the largest settlement against a single entity in U.S. history. And it will finance an unprecedented project to restore plant and wildlife habitats that

were fouled by the spill of 3 million barrels of oil into the Gulf.

“The Gulf was flooded with oil and Gulf Coast way of life, a uniquely American way of life, was hanging by a thread,” Lynch said. “By the time the torrent stopped, it had inflicted unprecedented damage.”

As part of the agreement, BP will pay a $5.5 billion civil penalty, the largest such penalty in the history of environmental law, and $7.1 billion in damage claims under the Oil Pollution Act. BP spokesman Geoff Morell said the settlement filed Monday in federal court represents the same agreement announced this summer. In July, the parties announced an agreement valued at $18.7 billion. The new total,

$20.8 billion, represents money previously committed to the resolution, the company said.

“This settlement resolves the largest litigation liabilities remaining from the tragic accident,” Morell said.

social media company that’s struggling. Take Yelp, which combines reviews and social networking.

Many assumed social media would give the companies a huge advantage in online marketing and further disrupt other traditional industries in the media space. And while the industry has spurred change in the business world, the stocks have been big losers.

Twitter sold shares to the public with much fanfare with shares starting to trade Nov. 7, 2013; they closed at $44.90 apiece.

Investors who jumped into the stock then thinking it was a ticket to cash in on the social media gold rush have been sorely disappointed as shares have dropped

he sweeping trade deal between the U.S. and 11 Pacific Rim nations announced Monday should boost the U.S. economy and lower consumer prices on some imports, experts say.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership, which still faces a long, tough battle in Congress, covers countries that make up 40% of the global economy.

“This agreement is unlikely to be a game-changer for the U.S. economy in the short run,” says Eswar Prasad, a professor of trade policy at Cornell University. “But it could have significant net positive effects in the long run.”

That’s because the U.S. currently imposes far fewer trade barriers, such as tariffs, than the other participating nations, providing the nation a bigger upside as those taxes are lowered or

eliminated, Prasad says.

For example, the agreement does away with tariffs as high as 59% on U.S. machinery, up to 70% on automotive products and up to 40% on agricultural products such as poultry and fruit, according to the White House.

And it would force the participating countries to comply with the same labor and environmental laws that bind the U.S., Prasad says, erasing a key cost advantage those nations currently enjoy. “It certainly levels the playing field.”

The agreement also would lower regulatory barriers for U.S. services firms, such as financial and express delivery companies, says Fred Bergsten, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. That’s a huge market in which the U.S. has a large trade surplus, in contrast

to its yawning deficit in traded goods.

Consumers should gain as well.

Reduced tariffs on imports should cut prices by 5% to 10% for some electronics, clothing and auto parts, Bergsten says. And an agreement to reduce the 12 years of U.S. patent protection for so-

On the other side, the pact would cut or eliminate U.S. tariffs on products such as steel, sugar and textiles for the Pacific Rim countries, which include Japan,

Chile, Vietnam, Malaysia and New Zealand, Bergsten says. That would increase competition for domestic companies and could encourage more offshoring of U.S. jobs.

And some U.S. automakers worry that Japan will be motivated to manipulate its currency to lower the costs of Japanese auto imports.

But the U.S. stands to gain far more than it will lose, he says. In a decade, he estimates, the deal will increase the nation’s annual exports by $100 billion to $125 billion and its gross domestic product by about $75 billion, adding about half a percentage point to economic growth.

Peterson economists estimate it would add about 650,000 jobs in export-related industries while cutting a similar number of positions in domestic industries that would face more competition from imports.

Bergsten says it will result in a net addition of jobs, though he could not be more specific.

Supreme Court allows insider trading reversal to stand Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

Wall Street just won a major victory over Uncle Sam. In a decision expected to undo some of the government’s massive insider-trading crackdown, the Supreme Court on Monday denied review of U.S. v. Newman, an insider trading case that has been closely watched by Wall Street, prosecutors and the FBI. The denial lets stand an earlier decision to overturn the convictions of Anthony Chiasson and Todd Newman, who were found guilty in 2012 of using inside in-

formation to make millions for their hedge funds. In December, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed their convictions in a ruling that ad-

dressed long-held questions about how close someone needs to be to the source of an illegal tip to be culpable.

Specifically, the 2nd Circuit ap-

peals court ruled that in order to be convicted of insider trading a person must have direct knowledge of the insider doling out the tips. The court said the government must prove the person being accused of illegal trading was aware that the tipper breached his fiduciary duty and received some sort of benefit, such as cash or a job, in exchange for the information provided.

Newman and Chiasson traded on tips they received from their staff analysts, who were found guilty of scouring stock tips from a network of analysts and corporate insiders and then passing them on to their bosses. As a result, their bosses were shielded

from direct communication with the tippers, who provided illegal stock tips on companies such as Dell and Nvidia.

The Supreme Court’s decision not to review the case at the request of the government lets the lower court’s decision overturning the conviction stand.

It’s a blow to Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who brought the case against the two men and who sought Supreme Court review. It also is expected to have much broader repercussions because it significantly narrows the definition of what is illegal insider trading, and could lead to a litany of other convictions being overturned.

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

The stock market passed its biggest test so far in its first corrective phase since its last 10% drop back in 2011.

For weeks, Wall Street pros have been saying the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index would have to go back down and retest the panic lows of Aug. 24 — the same day the Dow Jones industrials briefly plunged almost 1,100 points — before investors would feel comfortable that a shortterm market low was in.

Well, stocks went down close to that August low a number of times last week, including Friday morning after stocks’ initial plunge after the weak September jobs report. But then stocks reversed course, finishing sharply

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

higher Friday. The rally continued Monday, with the S&P 500 shooting up nearly 2%, and the Dow surging 304 points.

The S&P 500 has now surged 3.3% on a closing basis the past two sessions, and that gain swells to nearly 5% if you calculate the rebound from Friday’s intraday low. The Dow has rallied 3.1% the past two sessions, and 763 points, or 4.8%, from Friday’s low.

When you add up Friday’s big reversal and Monday’s followthrough rally, you get what looks like a short-term bottom. Whether it is “the” bottom remains to be seen. The low appears to have been put in Friday when the weak jobs number lowered the odds of a Federal Reserve rate hike this year. For now, bad news on the economy is good news for stocks, as a weaker economy means the Fed stays on hold, allowing stocks to benefit from 0% rates longer.

General Electric not generating much enthusiasm Q: Should I buy GE stock, too?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Activist investor Nelson Peltz thinks General Electric should be worth much more. He’s buying the stock, causing other investors to wonder if there’s hidden value.

GE is amid a painful restructuring, selling off its once massive finance business. These steps have caused the company’s revenue and net income to stagnate. GE at the same time is trying to regain focus on its core manufacturing businesses and has been made acquisitions to speed up things.

Peltz long has said GE is worth more than the roughly $26 a share the stock has been hovering around the past year.

Shares jumped 6% immediately on the news of Peltz’ $2.5 billion stake Monday.

Wall Street analysts called GE stock a buy well before Peltz jumped in. GE shares are rated “outperform” on average with Wall Street analysts, S&P Capital IQ says. But it’s difficult to get overly enthusiastic until the company can regain its growth. The average 18-months price target is about 11% higher than Monday’s close.

GE’s stock doesn’t look cheap using traditional valuation techniques due to its divestitures. The stock trades for a lofty 49.4 times diluted earnings the past 12 months. New Constructs, which compares stocks to their expected cash flow, says the stock is dangerous.

Muilenburg said more than 70% of Boeing’s commercial airplane revenue last year came from customers outside the U.S., while more than 90% of the workforce and 80% of suppliers are domestic.

The company projects Asia will be the region with the largest demand for its planes during the next 20 years: an estimated 13,460 planes worth $2 trillion — nearly twice as many planes as the company will sell in Europe.

The proposed agreement — which still faces debate in Con-

It covers countries that make up 40% of the global economy.

The biggest disputes in the trade pact involved biologics, agriculture and car manufacturing.

But officials involved in the talks said manufacturing and exports generally would benefit from reduced tariffs and customs regulations.

Florence Welch on performing while seated after breaking her foot

CAUGHT IN THE ACT Human rights attorney Amal Clooney — wife of George — participated in a press conference in London Monday as part of her ongoing efforts to free imprisoned former Maldivian president Mohamed Nasheed.

A United Nations panel last week ruled that Nasheed’s jailing was illegal and called for his immediate release.

es, even rock stars need to eat their veggies.

Two weeks after Dave Grohl broke his leg falling offstage this summer, Florence + the Machine filled in for him at the U.K.’s Glastonbury festival. E-mailing beforehand, “I just said, ‘If you’ve got a broken bone, you have to eat lots of broccoli because there’s iron in it,’ ” says frontwoman Florence Welch.

“I was really nervous about Glastonbury and he said whenever he’s nervous, he watches Queen performing at Live Aid and that sorts him out. So that’s what I watched, too.”

Of course, Welch, 29, knows about nursing injuries. The British siren fractured her foot in a freewheeling stage dive at Coachella in April, but was up and prancing across the Governors Ball stage in New York less than two months later, days after her How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful album release. As she revs up a three-week North American tour that kicks off Friday in Nashville, the pesky appendage is the least of her concerns.

“It feels fine now,” she says. “It gives me a little trouble, occasionally, but I almost don’t remember that it happened. Sometimes, I’m like, ‘Wow, I broke a bone. That was a whole thing.’ ”

In fact, she’s glad it happened.

Leading up to Beautiful’s launch in June, she performed a handful of gigs to intimate crowds in Los Angeles and New York. Sitting on a stool, she was backed by stripped-down arrangements which only underscored her powerful lilt.

“That was kind of amazing,” Welch says. “It gave me a chance to go back to how it was when I first started performing,” as a singer/songwriter. “I didn’t realize how much I was using my physicality as almost another distraction and it was really interesting to have to be vulnerable in that way again.”

The injury became a metaphor of sorts for her new music — the product of a near-breakdown fueled by relationship problems, heavy drinking (“I used to drink before every performance ... But I don’t anymore,” she told Billboard in May) and nearly four years of nonstop touring. Taking a year off from the road to record Beautiful, she channeled those frustrations into searing anthems such as Ship to Wreck and What Kind of Man, and now feels rejuvenated heading back out.

“Having that year where I really had to face myself, I found a new approach to (touring), which is less extreme,” Welch says.

“Having been so broken down by it, as it were, the album itself kind of got me back up again and I had to deal with a lot of things in my life. It’s a work in progress, but I’m managing to still do that while touring, which is really good.”

‘Home Alone’: Still a scream after 25 years Kevin’s misadventures now a holiday classic for bingeing at home JUSTIN TALLIS, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

It has been 25 years since Home Alone reigned in theaters, but director Chris Columbus is frequently reminded of the movie’s most iconic moment.

Nobody can forget Macaulay Culkin’s hands-on-face screen scream.

“Literally, people come up to me on the street today and they do that scream pose,” Columbus laughs. “It’s like, ‘Seriously?

Twenty-five years later, I’m getting this? This is my lot in life?’ ” But Columbus adds that it’s a pretty great fate for himself and the film produced and written by the late John Hughes.

Home Alone propelled Culkin, then 10, to superstardom while topping the box office for 12 consecutive weeks. The comedy became the top-grossing film re-

Home Alone debuted in 1990.

leased in 1990 with $286 million, according to Rentrak.

20th Century Fox announced last month that it will re-release the holiday favorite in select theaters Nov. 8 and 11 to celebrate its 25th anniversary. A new DVD superset arrives Tuesday with all five Home Alone movies, plus Blu-ray and digital HD ver-

sions of the first two.

Columbus says he knew he had something special going while shooting Culkin as Kevin McCallister, accidentally forgotten during his family’s crazed vacation departure. The scream, which occurs after McCallister applies bracing after-shave, was Culkininspired magic, the director says.

“It was all in the way Mac performed it,” says Columbus. “He held that pose like Edvard Munch’s painting The Scream, and we had to stop ourselves from laughing and blowing that first take.”

Joe Roth, head of Fox at the time, viewed the day’s footage and decreed that variations on the image would lead Home Alone’s posters, Columbus recalls.

The scream, and the story (which concludes on Christmas Day), are now perennial seasonal favorites for a devoted following.

“That scream is something that everyone remembers,” says film historian Leonard Maltin. “These things cannot be planned or engineered. Either they catch on and resonate with people, or they don’t. And this one did.”

Aside from the comedic performances, Columbus points out that the film’s stunt men, standing in for burglars played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, deserve credit for the slapstick gold.

“It wasn’t funny on the set, because, my God, those guys could have killed themselves doing flips on icy steps,” says Columbus.

Home Alone‘s popularity has spun off urban legends, including that Elvis Presley (who died in 1977) appears in an airport scene.

“If Elvis was on the set, I would have known,” says Columbus.

He rewatched Home Alone in full last December for the first time since its release, when the San Francisco Symphony performed Williams’ score live.

“I had tears rolling down my face,” says Columbus. “It’s not healthy to dwell on the past. But situations like this force you to and I was really moved by it.”

He feels confident the comedy will continue to prosper long beyond its latest landmark.

“We’ll still be talking about it at 50,” he says. “It’s like those Warner Bros. cartoons — they always feel fresh and timeless.”

Double Take

Dr. Wes Crenshaw and Gabe Magee

College living situation sounds like bad idea Dear Dr. Wes and Gabe: My daughter is a junior at KU. She has a chance to move into a room in a large house at semester and live with six other girls from her sorority. Her father and I are against this and feel it puts her in an impossible living situation with no financial or social structure. What is your advice? Should we fund this? She read Double Take in middle and high school and might listen to your ideas.

Walk to School Day encourages kids to be more active

everal agencies in Lawrence and Douglas County are encouraging students to put one foot in front of the other and walk to school on Wednesday.

It isn’t a day someone plucked out of the blue: It’s International Walk to School Day. Local agencies have made it part of the Be Active Safe Routes initiative in the area that works toward reversing the increase in childhood inactivity.

Wes: She isn’t going to want to read Double Take this week because it is my duty to inform her of the worst thing any young adult can face — her parents are right.

I’ve worked in this fine college community for 15 years. I’ve seen this arrangement attempted many times and I can count on one hand the number of times it’s turned out well. It doesn’t always crash and burn, but the outcome usually ranges from pretty bad to catastrophic, including lost friends, money, possessions and trust.

First off, assuming your daughter needs a cosigner, you’re going to be jointly and severally liable for her portion of the rent and everyone else’s. So, if someone doesn’t pay, you and your credit rating could be on the hook.

Even if she doesn’t need a cosigner, how will you refuse her if she ends up shorted by one of the six other young women living there? If her rental history goes south, you’ll be stuck cosigning in the future.

It’s flu season — here’s how to protect yourself

By Janice Early Lawrence Memorial Hospital

A year ago, two-thirds of Americans polled by The Washington Post were seriously concerned about a possible widespread Ebola epidemic in the United States — a slim possibility that never materialized.

A much smaller number of Americans are con-

cerned about the flu epidemic of 2015-2016, even though it is certain to happen, as it does every year. It is known simply as the flu season.

According to Dr. Jennifer Schrimsher, an in-

fectious disease specialist at The Internal Medicine Group in Lawrence, influenza is not as deadly as Ebola, but it is far more contagious.

“Ebola is spread only through direct contact with the blood or bodily fluid of a person who is sick with Ebola,” Schrimsher said. “The flu virus is likely to be floating in the air in any public place you

visit during flu season.”

Between 5 and 20 percent of the population are infected each year with influenza, and 20,000 to 50,000 die.

“The best thing you can do to protect yourself is widely known,” Schrimsher said. “Get a flu shot.”

It’s as simple, easy and important as fastening your seat belt when you get in a car. Yet

Survivor encourages women to do self-exams, ‘talk to your doctor’

By Karrey Britt Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department

Jennie Henault enjoys a Royals game with her family. From left: James, Jennie, Justin and her husband, Eddie.

When 12-year-old James Henault says his favorite color is pink, sometimes kids will start to make fun of him until he explains that his mom, Jennie, is a breast cancer survivor. Then, he becomes a little hero with a big heart.

Pink also just happens to be the trendy color this month because of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Everyone, from football players to firefighters, is sporting pink.

Jennie Henault, director of administrative services

at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, was diagnosed with breast cancer when James was 6 years old and her other son, Justin, was 3. Jennie said Justin was too young to understand the cancer, but James had questions and concerns. She was glad that Lawrence Memorial Hospital offered a support group for kids, and James participated in it for about a year.

“That was really good for him because he was trying to understand,” she said.

Jennie’s experience began when she detected a lump on her breast, but she didn’t think — or maybe

want to believe — it was cancerous, even through her great-grandmother had a double mastectomy and a great-aunt had breast cancer. That’s because her cousin had a lump that ended up being a cyst. Jennie thought that’s probably what it is, but it kept getting bigger and bigger.

Four months later at her annual wellness exam, she told her doctor about it, which led to a mammogram that didn’t detect the cancer. She then saw Dr. Mark Praeger, her surgeon, who has since retired. He used an ultrasound, which found the cancer right away.

Then, Jennie had a biopsy

that confirmed it. She was diagnosed in March 2010 with Stage 2 cancer at age 38.

The next week, she had a lumpectomy. That was followed by chemotherapy treatments from March until August, and then came the radiation treatments.

She had those a couple times a week for about six weeks.

During the treatments, she remembers being tired and sleeping a lot. She said radiation was difficult because it burned and her skin became really sensitive.

She worked quite a bit Please see CANCER, page 4C

with students and parents will start at 11th and New York streets and go through East Lawrence to the school at 14th and Massachusetts streets.

The radio station 105.9 KISS-FM will be broadcasting from the school, and Health Department staff members will be on hand to welcome students, Britt said.

Hull said that daily walk can help students have a better day from start to finish.

“Children who walk or ride a bike arrive at

school more alert and ready to learn,” she sad.

“Kids who are active throughout the day tend to perform at their best.”

It isn’t just students who benefit from the added activity, Hull said.

Parents who get on board feel the effects, too.

“It’s a reminder that the most expedient option for parents isn’t always the best thing for kids,” Hull said. “Parents who walk or ride with their kids get the same immediate benefits: a better mood, more alert, more focused. And they get some precious moments of quality time with their kids.”

Denise Johnson, the health and wellness coordinator for students and

staff for the district, said that time spent walking can help develop a better relationship between parents and children.

“The kind of information you can hear from your child is totally different than when they are with you in the car,” she said.

hands frequently, steering clear of other sick people and staying home when you are sick so you don’t infect others.

Those most at risk of getting severe effects of the flu are young children, older adults and people with medical conditions such as cancer or asthma.

Last year, about 100 children died and more than 14,000 adults age 65 and over were hospitalized because of the flu. For these high-risk populations and for pregnant women who could pass the virus to their vulnerable infants, vaccination is crucial.

“If you care for or visit high-risk persons, such as an elderly parent or grandparent or a pre-school child, you should get a flu shot, for their sake as well as yours,” Schrimsher said.

She noted that last year’s vaccine was not very effective compared with those of previous years. “Each year, public health experts decide which viruses are

likely to be a threat based on monitoring of flu activity around the world, including recent infections during the southern hemisphere winter,” Schrimsher explained. “A vaccine is then developed to protect against three or four of the most prevalent strains.”

The vaccine last year failed to protect against the predominant Switzerland A strain, which had mutated enough to make it resistant to the vaccine that was developed to combat it. By late summer last year, this H3N2 strain had become the primary illness-causing agent, and it continues to be dominant worldwide.

This year, the trivalent vaccine is made to protect against this strain plus two others: an A strain that was in the previous vaccine and a new B strain. Quadrivalent vaccines (protecting against four rather than three viral strains) include an additional B virus strain.

Schrimsher warns that no one can predict what the flu season will be like this year or how well the vaccine will match up with

viral strains that are circulating. But having a flu shot will lower the risk that you will transmit the disease to friends and family. And contrary to what many believe, immunization will not give you the flu.

Flu season generally starts in October. A flu shot takes two weeks to become fully effective.

When the flu strikes hard, it can and does kill.

In the influenza pandemics of 1918, 1957 and 1968, millions of deaths worldwide were recorded.

Public health experts acknowledge that flu epidemics every year will always be with us. Schrimsher said, “If two-thirds of the population were as concerned about stopping the flu as they were about protecting themselves from Ebola last year, the toll in terms of serious illness and death would be considerably lower.”

still in this marriage is because of my kids.

What should I do? — Stuck in San Francisco Dear Stuck: When someone marries, the spouse should always come before the parents, even though some parents don’t like that and may, in fact, encourage the grown child to put them first. This is unfair to the child, keeping them infantilized and dependent. Kate wasn’t mature enough to get married, but you

‘iZombie’ humor is hit-or-miss Food for thought, or just gross-out humor? “iZombie” (8 p.m., CW) returns for a second season, with Liv gobbling down a cranky old man’s gray matter in order to gain insights and clues about his demise. Folks familiar with this series know that Liv (Rose McIver), a nearsurvivor of a zombie attack, must snack occasionally on the brains of the deceased just to keep in the pink. Or the pallid, as the case may be.

The preposterous plot comes from a c o m i c book, but “iZombie” also hearkens back to CW/WB/ UPN shows of old, most notably “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Veronica Mars.” It’s one of the few shows on the CW with a sense of wit and whimsy, and one of the few zombie-themed shows that has any sense of humor about the gruesome genre.

All the same, like microwaved cerebellums, a little “iZombie” goes a long way.

O That equation goes double for the live variety showcase “Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris” (9 p.m., NBC).

This frantic effort never comes up for air and rarely gives its audience’s intelligence much respect. It’s time to give it the hook.

NBC has shuttled it between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., depending on when it wants to air “The Voice.” The fact is, “Best Time” is just not right for prime time.

It has the kind of loud and frenetic “let’s treat our audience like kindergarteners” vibe that makes much of daytime TV so repellant. It says something that a reboot of “The Muppets” seems so sophisticated by comparison.

O “Scream Queens” (8 p.m., Fox) enters Halloween season tonight. So far, its ratings have been more tricks than treats. It has come in fourth two weeks in a row. The return of the cheeky “iZombie” may nibble a bit at this show’s audience.

For a show sold on its brittle wit and aspirations to hipness, it’s not a good sign when you attract fewer 18 to 49 viewers than “NCIS: New Orleans.”

As the show’s sorority sisters know, you can survive being unlikable, but unpopularity is fatal.

Tonight’s other highlights

O AMC unspools nine con-

secutive repeat episodes of “The Walking Dead” (5 p.m., AMC).

O Blind audition highlights on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC).

O Nick Offerman and Christina Applegate appear on “The Muppets” (7 p.m., ABC).

O A retired FBI agent’s death appears gang-related on “Limitless” (9 p.m., CBS).

O Family issues take precedence for Muldoon on “Public Morals” (9 p.m., TNT).

The sisters who keep kosher were in charge of cooking the turkey and other major dishes. My brother and I brought raw ingredients and cooked at Mom’s. Of course, we all cleaned up after.

We estimated the cost of all the ingredients and divided it equally. Mom provided the location, plates, cups, etc. — Huntington, Mass.

Seattle escapes Detroit, 13-10 Seattle (ap) — With one big punch, Kam Chancellor showed his importance to the Seattle Seahawks.

And once again, the Seahawks may have received another Monday night break from the officials in the same end zone where the infamous “Fail Mary” took place.

Chancellor knocked the ball free from Detroit wide receiver Calvin Johnson at the oneyard line when it appeared the Lions were going to take the lead, and Seattle held on for a 13-10 win.

With Detroit on the verge of capping a 91-yard drive with the go-ahead touchdown with less than two minutes remaining, Chancellor came from the side and punched the ball from Johnson’s arm as he was being tackled by Earl Thomas.

The ball bounded into the end zone where it was guided over the back line by K.J. Wright for a touchback and Seattle’s ball at the 20.

Wright could have been called for illegal touching for hitting the ball out of the end zone, which would have given the ball back to Detroit. But no flags were thrown and on the ensuing possession, Russell Wilson found Jermaine Kearse for 50 yards on third down.

With Detroit out of timeouts, the Seahawks (2-2) ran off the final seconds of their second straight win.

“We can’t change it now,” Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “It is what it is. We won and we’re going to move on.”

Detroit fell to 0-4 for its worst start since 2010 when the Lions also started 0-4 on their way to a 6-10 season, and with a schedule that offers little relief going forward.

It was an ugly performance by the home team, filled with offensive mistakes and two fourth-quarter fumbles by Wilson, the second returned 27 yards for a touchdown by Caraun Reid to pull Detroit to 13-10.

But in the end, Seattle’s defense came through.

Seattle has not allowed an offensive touchdown in the two games since Chancellor ended his holdout and has forced 18 punts during that stretch.

“It was big time,” Wagner said of Chancellor’s return. “He just made us a whole defense.”

Wilson was forced to be an escape artist as Seattle’s offensive line continued to struggle with protection. Wilson threw for 287 yards and rushed for another 40 yards.

BRIEFLY Firebirds’ soccer downs Heights

————

City golf teams field only three varsity players

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

At the beginning of the girls golf season, Free State High junior Anne Goebel was frustrated by her play.

A month later, she’s hitting her stride.

Goebel carded a 96 on Monday, tying for 27th place at the Free State Invitational at Lawrence Country Club. “It was better than expected,� Goebel said. “I definitely had some bad holes, but for the most part, I thought I did pretty well.�

Goebel was Free State’s only varsity golfer at the beginning of the year, which she admitted was a little tough. The Firebirds added sophomore Tori Hoopingarner to the varsity lineup. She shot a 103 on Monday in only her second 18-hole varsity meet. Hoopingarner tied for 42nd place. “I’m happy for them because they’re happy,�

FSHS coach Layne Meyer said. “I think Anne was frustrated with her first couple of tournaments.

Today she played more up to her potential, so I’m really happy and proud of her that she was able to bounce back from some early frustrations. She’s worked hard, and today, her hard work paid off.�

Goebel was strong with her driver, helping her shoot a 49 on the front

With regionals approaching next week at Alvamar, the Firebirds are thrilled they’ll get to play at their home practice course. “That’s definitely a big advantage because we play there, like, every other day, and I’m a member there, so I play there a lot during the summer,� Hoopingarner said.

Meyer added: “Right now I think they’re both playing their best golf.�

Lawrence High freshman Beatrice Lopez shot a 118 and finished in 76th place in her first varsity tournament.

She had a few problems chipping the ball, but she bounced back with drives on the fairway. “Now that the season has gone on, she’s trusted herself a little more,�

Meyer said. “I think she’s more committed to her shots, and she’s allowing her natural ability to come through in her play.�

Hoopingarner didn’t need much time to get comfortable at the varsity level. She finished 49th at the Lawrence Invitational last week. “I’m not as nervous as I was at the beginning because I was freaking out about how the competition would be,�

Free State High’s boys soccer team extended its winning streak to five with a 2-1 victory over Shawnee Heights on Monday at FSHS. The Firebirds (7-3) will play host to Olathe East at 6:30 p.m. today.

Rigdon earns Big 12 honor After leading a balanced Kansas University offense with 11 kills on 15 error-less swings in a three-set victory over West Virginia, KU sophomore outside hitter Madison Rigdon was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.

The Pflugerville, Texas, native recorded a .733 hitting percentage against WVU, a career high and a team high this season.

Rigdon’s attack percentage led the Big 12 for the week, while her 3.7 kills per set are tied for third. “Madison has been an efficient and consistent player for us all season,� Kansas head coach Ray Bechard

said. “She had great numbers last week, but she has also been someone we can count on night-in and nightout. As an outside hitter, for her to get no errors in a match against a Big 12-level team speaks to her ability to make adjustments on the fly.�

No. 10 KU remains one of three undefeated teams in NCAA Division I. The Jayhawks (15-0, 3-0 Big 12) face Texas Tech (12-5, 1-2) at 6 p.m. Wednesday in Lubbock, Texas (WOW! Cable channels 36, 236).

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD FRANK MASON III FLIPS BEFORE THE ALLEN FIELDHOUSE CROWD in this photo from last year’s Late Night in the Phog on Oct. 10, 2014. This year’s Late Night will be Friday.

be some sort of musical performance by a Jayhawk at the 31st-annual Late Night, set for 6:30 p.m., to approximately 9:30 p.m., Friday, in Allen.

“I cannot wait for Late Night. I’m ready for dancing. I’m also going to be playing the piano,” freshman forward Carlton Bragg stated at last week’s Media Day. “Everybody’s going to be shocked at how good I can play,” Bragg added, smiling.

The 6-foot-9 freshman from Cleveland wouldn’t provide other details, inviting fans to pack the building to see for themselves. Doors open for KU students at 4:30 p.m., and the general public at 5 p.m., Friday.

“It’s going to be a little surprise for everyone,” Bragg said. “I cannot wait for Late Night. Coming in last year as a recruit, fans cheering you on, the atmosphere was crazy. Coming in now as a student-athlete, I can’t wait. I was blown away, shocked, amazed at the atmosphere. It was crazy.

You’ve got to be there to experience it,” Bragg added.

KU coach Bill Self stresses he’d welcome the usual Late Night sellout this year because “our players really love it” and also because it’s a good way to impress recruits who will be in town.

Top senior players expected to attend Friday’s Late Night are: No. 2-ranked (by Rivals. com) Harry Giles, No. 5 De’Aaron Fox, No. 6 Malik Monk, No. 16 Marques Bolden and No. 34 Schnider Herard.

practice while continuing to recover from an ankle sprain, Self said Monday.

Selden has been wearing a boot off the court as his ankle heals.

“He has an ankle sprain.

The only reason he is in a boot is to immobilize it when walking around,” Self said. “He has been practicing, yes. He’s not 100 percent, though. He sprained it three weeks ago. He’s about 60, 70 percent. We are hopeful by the end of the week he’ll be much closer to full speed. Doctors said we should work through it. We shouldn’t just give him total time off. He should be fine in a week or so.”

Self said junior Brannen Greene has been practicing. He’s coming back from offseason hip surgery.

“We’re bringing him back where he has limited reps,” Self said. “For the most part, he’s fine.

He gets sore, even though that’s part of the rehab process of what doctors tell us. He looks good.

All the strength tests, MRI confirm that. We’re hopeful by Nov. 1 he’ll be ready to go (full speed in games).”

The Jayhawks have been practicing since Friday.

“Practice is OK. The guys are trying hard,” Self said. “We are putting too much stuff in too fast.

Right now we’re probably not doing anything very well because we’re trying to think and concentrate on what we’re supposed to do as opposed to reacting and playing. If you are thinking, you can’t react as quick. We’re going to still be a couple months away like most teams are before we have a good sense of who we are.” l

At 1-4, Texas shows dissent Austin, Texas (ap) — Texas coach Charlie Strong spent nearly a half-hour Monday insisting his team was unified and would rebound from a 1-4 start.

Within minutes after he left the podium, Strong’s players put those promises to the test, publicly exposing a rift between some of the team’s veterans and a talented group of freshmen that have forced their way onto the depth chart with scant success on the field.

“People need to grow up and take things more seriously. A lot of people aren’t preparing,” said junior safety Dylan Haines, a former walk-on who earned a scholarship last season. “They just want to go out and play the game on Saturday. They don’t want to put in the work on (the other days).”

Freshman defensive end Charles Omenihu apparently didn’t like this kind of chatter and swiftly responded on Twitter.

“Lol,” said a tweet from Omenihu’s account, which seconds later added, “People get in front of the cameras and just talk they heads off. Always remember think before you speak.”

A school spokesman confirmed the account belongs to Omenihu. The second tweet was quickly deleted, but not before the divide in the locker room had taken over the day from Strong’s message of unity ahead in Saturday’s showdown with No. 10 Oklahoma (40, 1-0 Big 12), a game that has taken on even more urgency with Texas off to its worst start in nearly 60 years.

Monday on 810 radio he was asked about the Cheick Diallo eligibility situation. Diallo can participate in the Late Night skits and scrimmage.

Diallo, as everybody knows, was cleared to practice last Thursday by the NCAA. “He’s cleared to practice pending on what they decide throughout the information we will submit to them (Eligibility Center) whenever it is all together,” Self said.

“A lot of people wonder ‘Why wouldn’t it (academic materials) all be together yet?’ There’s a lot of reasons why ... because they just told us recently some things they wanted. Instead of throwing it to them piece by piece, they requested we submit it all together.

It may be a couple more weeks before we are able to submit everything.

When you are talking about getting information from schools in Mali ... we hope within two weeks.

It may be three weeks before we have a definite answer. Right now Cheick is like everybody else. He’s practicing. He needs the time. This is all new to him. The fact he could be out there with us now will not put him behind when hopefully we get good news on him in the future.” l

Lightfoot update: Mitch Lightfoot, a 6-7 senior forward from Gilbert (Arizona) Christian High school, visited St. John’s last weekend. He tells Zagsblog.com he expects to choose between KU, Utah, Stanford, St. John’s and Arizona shortly after his trip to Arizona this weekend.

“Then I’m done and I’m going to take a couple of weeks to ponder over my schools and then I’ll decide,” he said. He’s ranked No. 117 in the Class of 2016 by Rivals.com.

K-State DB Moore arrested Manhattan (ap) — A Kansas State football player has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports 20-yearold Cre Moore was arrested early Sunday after the pickup he was driving hit a light pole in Manhattan. Moore was uninjured.

The Riley County Police Department says Moore, a sophomore back-up defensive back for the Wildcats, was charged with DUI and was found to be in possession of “several pills which were identified as depressants.”

Moore, from Broken Arrow, Okla., was given a bond of $3,500 for the offenses of DUI and possession of a depressant.

It was not immediately known if he has an attorney.

10th-best in all of baseball, they are 30-14 with a 2.72 ERA this season.

That was second-only to Pittsburgh.

“The key for us being able to do this, really, is the year Ryan Madson’s had and Danny Duffy and his development in the ‘pen,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “So it just gives us another two strong guys that we didn’t have last year down there.”

Veteran Jason Frasor and rookie Brandon Finnegan pitched well in the playoffs last year, but Hochevar, Duffy and Franklin Morales are widely considered upgrades.

Madson has moved into the seventh-inning role, while Herrera has been handling the eighth and Davis the ninth. So instead of the catchy HD-H, get ready to hear about M-H-D this year.

“Not having Greg is big,” Davis said. “He’s a great guy to have around in general.”

With a starting rotation that gobbled up innings last year, the Royals only needed 464 out of their bullpen. That number climbed to nearly 540 innings this season, fifthmost in baseball.

The Royals should be well-rested, though.

They clinched their first division pennant since 1985 with two weeks left in the season and managed to rest many of their key pieces down the stretch. They nearly squandered home-field advantage throughout the playoffs by doing it, but locked that down with a win Sunday.
