Kansas City, Mo. — Former Kansas Gov. and U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius returned to the Midwest on Wednesday to chime in on growing debates in Kansas and Missouri over whether those states should expand their Medicaid programs, as allowed under the federal Affordable Care Act. “In Kansas, a hospital just Sebelius closed,” Sebelius said, referring to the pending closure of a community hospital in Independence, in southeast Kansas.

verybody wants to know when Lawrence’s new Menards store will open, and I wish I had a definitive answer.

I don’t have an answer, but I think we all will have one soon. I’ve been told by a Menards official that a press release with details about the opening is set to be issued in the middle of next week. I’ve also been told by others that employees at the store — which is just east of 31st and Iowa streets — are preparing for an Oct. 20 opening. I’ve gotten no confirmation of that from Menards.

Washington — The Supreme Court on Wednesday seemed likely to rule against three Kansas men who challenged their death sentences in what one justice called “some of the most horrendous murders” he’s ever seen from the bench.

The justices were critical of the Kansas Supreme Court, which overturned the sentences of the men, including two brothers convicted in a murderous crime spree known as the “Wichita massacre.”

The state court also ruled that the Carr brothers should have had separate sentencing hearings instead of a joint one. It said Reginald Carr’s sentence may have been unfairly tainted because Jonathan Carr blamed Reginald for being a bad influence during their childhoods.

Disability services overhaul delayed Topeka (ap) — The state of Kansas says it’s delaying an overhaul in how it provides services to people with disabilities.

The Wichita Eagle reports the state announced the delay Tuesday, after concerns about changes were voiced by people with disabilities, their families, providers and caretakers.

Thousands of people would be affected by the overhaul.

The change announced in August would condense seven Medicaid waivers based on disability type into one universal waiver. Additional services not usually allowed by Medicaid are provided by waivers.

State agencies wanted to switch over to the new waiver by July 1, but the delay pushes that back to Jan. 1, 2017.

The state Department of Aging and Disability Services said in a news release

that the delay is the result of feedback from consumers, providers and stakeholders.

“We want to ensure that we have the details of how waiver integration will work firmly in place before we move ahead,” state Department of Health and Environment Secretary Susan Mosier said.

Concerns stemmed in part from a promise that, without spending money, services would expand and the wait list would be trimmed. Some questioned how this was possible.

A work group of 75 people met Sept. 30 in Topeka, with the state wanting proposals from five focus groups by the end of October. Jeannette Livingston, assistant director of the Sedgwick County Developmental Disability Organization, said it was “very daunting” trying to come up with a unified policy.

whether Home Depot files plans at City Hall to expand its Lawrence store. Menards is more than twice the size of Lawrence’s Home Depot.

Officials with Home Depot previously wanted a larger store in Lawrence, but Home Depot was unsuccessful in the early 2000s in winning city approval for a larger store.

We’ll see how that all plays out. But in the meantime, I think it is a safe bet that we’ll be able to shop at the new Lawrence Menards before Halloween. That’s a scary thought for my credit card indeed.

track of the progress.

Unlike Home Depot next door, a good amount of Menards’ lumber yard is in a covered, outdoor area that is easy to see when you drive by. You can start to see products piling up in that yard.

It will be interesting to watch whether area residents become the recipients of price wars between Menards and Home Depot as the two battle to gain or keep market share in the early stages of this new competition. As I’ve said before, I think it also will be interesting to watch

several of the justices couldn’t help but dwell on the sordid facts of the Carr case during two hours of oral argument.

Justice Samuel Alito said it involves “some of the most horrendous murders that I have ever seen in my 10 years here.

And we see practically every death penalty case that comes up anywhere in the country.”

At one point, Justice Antonin Scalia recounted at length the brutal details. Authorities said the brothers broke into a Wichita home in December 2000, where they forced the three men and two women inside to have sex with each other while they watched, then repeatedly raped the women. The brothers then forced the victims to withdraw money from ATMs before taking them to a soccer field, forcing them to kneel, and shooting each one in the head.

Four of the victims died, but one woman survived a gunshot wound to the head because a plastic clip in her hair deflected the bullet. She ran naked through the snow for help and later testified against the brothers at trial.

“You truly think that this jury, but for the fact that your client was the corruptor, would not have imposed the death penalty?” Scalia asked Frederick Liu, attorney for Reginald Carr.

Liu argued that having both brothers in the same

hearing could have led the jury to blame Reginald Carr for Jonathan’s conduct.

Kansas Solicitor General Stephen McAllister, who is also a professor at Kansas University’s School of Law, argued that requiring the state to conduct separate sentencing hearings would lead to inconsistent results and unfairly allow defendants to preview the state’s evidence.

Justice Stephen Breyer warned that requiring separate sentencing hearings in such cases could “throw a monkey wrench” into hundreds of other cases where gang members and other codefendants are tried and sentenced at joint proceedings.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor suggested some of the jurors may have been confused about how to consider mitigating factors that might favor leniency. The jury instructions said aggravating factors had to be proven beyond reasonable doubt, but made no specification for mitigating factors.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt argued that the instructions also included “an open-ended invitation” to consider any facts that might spare a death sentence, including pleas for mercy.

Even if there was some “unfortunate wording,” Justice Elena Kagan wondered, “why doesn’t all this other stuff indicate that no juror was likely to be confused?”

A ruling in the cases is expected by the end of June 2016.

Judge to consider blocking Kansas voter rules in December

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — County election officials in Kansas are likely to have canceled thousands of incomplete voter registrations when a federal judge has the next hearing in a lawsuit challenging the culling of records ordered by Secretary of State Kris Kobach.

U.S. District Court Judge Julie Robinson on Wednesday set a Dec. 4 hearing on a request from two young northeast Kansas residents to block the cancellations while their suit goes forward. Their registrations are incomplete because they’ve failed to comply with a 2013 law requiring new voters to provide a birth certificate, passport or other papers documenting their U.S. citizenship when registering.

The two also want Robinson to block enforcement of the proof-of-citizenship requirement — the reason behind most of the 37,700 registrations that were incomplete as of last week. Kobach imposed a rule that took effect Friday, directing counties to cancel more than 31,000 registrations that were incomplete for more than 90 days.

Robinson set the hearing in December to allow the Republican secretary of state to file a written response

Sebelius CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“The CEO of that hospital said there were a number of financial pressures, as there are in a lot of small towns, but he particularly identified the failure of the Kansas Legislature to push forward the Medicaid expansion as one of the significant cost issues that they just couldn’t balance anymore,” she said.

But Michael Cannon, a health care analyst for the conservative Cato Institute, said lower-income children and families would fare no better under an expanded Medicaid program and may actually be worse off than they would be in the private health care market.

“We shouldn’t be looking at Medicaid as a jobs program that’s supposed to keep hospitals in business and keep people employed there,” he said. “The point of Medicaid is to provide health care to the poor, to improve the health of the poor.”

“The problem is,” he continued, “that there is not evidence to show Medicaid actually helps the people it’s intended to help.”

Sebelius and Cannon were among the speakers during a panel discussion sponsored by American Public Square, a project of the University of Missouri-Kansas City that tries to promote “civil discourse” about controversial social and political topics.

Sebelius, a Democrat, served as HHS Secretary when that law was passed in 2009 and continued in that job during the first troubled years of its implementation.

As it was originally written, the Affordable Care Act required states to expand their Medicaid programs to cover all individuals in households with incomes up to 138 percent of the poverty level.

“

When you’re trying to infringe on people’s constitutional rights and rights under federal law, you’d expect that you’re going to have some litigation on your hands.”

— Paul Davis, Lawrence attorney to the lawsuit and to permit the attorneys representing the two prospective voters to follow with a written answer. Robinson said during a teleconference with the attorneys that she’ll interrupt an ongoing trial to have the hearing in Kansas City, Kan. The judge set the schedule after Kobach assured her canceled registrations aren’t being deleted permanently from the state’s database and can be retrieved electronically.

He also said later that no one’s voting rights are at stake because the people affected aren’t yet registered.

“There isn’t any urgency that we can see,” Kobach told Robinson.

The lawsuit caused a stir because one of the attorneys filing it is former state House Minority Leader Paul Davis, of Lawrence, the Democrats’ unsuccess-

In Kansas and many other states, Medicaid is only available to lowincome elderly and disabled residents, as well as low-income parents of dependent children.

But the income limit for working-age, ablebodied adults is about one-third of the federal poverty level, or $7,644 a year for a family of three.

To pay for that expansion, the federal law reduced a certain kind of Medicare reimbursement to hospitals, payments that compensated them for treating large numbers of uninsured individuals.

Sebelius said the idea behind that was that Medicaid expansion and other parts of the health reform law were supposed to greatly reduce the number of uninsured people, and therefore the hospitals would no longer need that subsidy.

But the U.S. Supreme Court later overturned the mandate that states expand their Medicaid programs, ruling instead that Medicaid expansion had to be an option for states. Since then, about 29 states have chosen to expand Medicaid; Kansas and Missouri have not.

As a result, hospitals like the one in Independence are receiving lower Medicare reimbursements. However, they are not seeing a reduction in the number of uninsured patients they treat, and they are not getting more Medicaid reimbursements.

The forum at UMKC came at a time when the debate over Medicaid expansion is heating up, especially in Kansas, where Democrats have recently vowed to make it a central issue in the 2016 elections and where a spokeswoman for Republican Gov. Sam Brownback recently called the idea “morally reprehensible.”

In an email message to political supporters this week, Brownback’s deputy communications director Melika Wil-

ful nominee for governor last year.

Kobach argues the measures combat election fraud. Davis voted as a lawmaker for the final version of the proofof-citizenship law but has argued that it and Kobach’s subsequent actions keep thousands of citizens from voting.

“When you’re trying to infringe on people’s constitutional rights and rights under federal law, you’d expect that you’re going to have some litigation on your hands,” Davis said after the teleconference.

Kobach and county election officials expect the winnowing of records to take weeks, particularly in the most populous of the state’s 105 counties.

And in Douglas County, Clerk Jamie Shew, an elected Democrat, said he believes he’s legally obligated to warn people they face a deadline and won’t start canceling incomplete registrations for another 90 days — until early January.

But Kobach said in an interview after the teleconference that rural counties are likely to finish the culling before December, while Davis said, “A lot of it will probably be done by then.”

The secretary of state’s office said incomplete registrations had dropped by about 3,400 by Wednesday, to fewer than 34,300.

Gov. says no new taxes, cuts on tap

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback said Wednesday that he’s not considering additional spending cuts or proposing new tax increases to keep the state’s current budget balanced in the wake of disappointing tax collections.

But Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, said of the Republican gover- Brownback nor, “I just don’t think he’s in touch with reality.”

Brownback said his administration is working on measures to address the state’s short-term fiscal problems but was not more specific. He said no decisions have been made.

The Department of Revenue reported last week that the state collected $67 million less than expected in tax revenues from the July 1 start of the fiscal year through the end of September — a 4.7 percent shortfall. Legislative researchers had predicted the state, with a $15.4 billion budget, would finish June 2016 with less than $78 million in cash reserves; their unofficial estimate is now about $11 million.

BRIEFLY Aviation supply firm cleared to expand McFarlane Aviation Products hopes to break ground on an expansion project before winter hits, after Douglas County commissioners unanimously approved its plans during their weekly meeting on Wednesday.

The aircraft parts manufacturing business has been in operation since 1979, said general manager Dan McFarlane, and the company has been steadily growing.

“We keep adding new products and expanding the reach of our product lines,” McFarlane said. “We sell aircraft parts around the country and have distributors worldwide, and there’s a growing demand for new products.”

Currently the company employs just fewer than 60 workers at its 44,000-square-foot space, McFarlane said. This project will add a 24,000-squarefoot industrial building, allowing for the addition of several dozen employees.

The new construction will take place on a lot adjacent to the company’s current operation at 696 East 1700 Road, near Vinland, McFarlane said.

Construction should last around six months.

After bedbugs were found Monday in the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, the Lawrence Public Library recalled a similar scare two years ago.

Evidence of the pests was found in Topeka’s library by a specially trained dog. Although no bedbugs were seen, several potentially infected materials were thrown out.

In the fall of 2013 the Friends of the Lawrence Public Library called off its annual Fall Book Sale after someone donated books containing bedbugs, said Kathleen Morgan, the library’s director of development and partnerships. The contaminated books, and any others that could have been stored near them, were all removed.

Luckily the donated books were never mixed in with the library’s main collection, but only with other books reserved for the fall sale, Morgan said.

Now the library, in its renovated building at 707 Vermont St., has precautions in place to prevent another mishap, Morgan said.

Each of the library’s lending books is inspected when it returns, Morgan said. Staff and volunteers are specially trained to spot bedbugs.

“And if there is any shadow of a doubt, then there is a heater that we put the books in that bakes

The state increased sales and cigarette taxes in July to keep the budget balanced, and Brownback’s budget director announced $63 million in budget adjustments later that month, including some spending reductions. The budget problems arose after the Legislature heeded Brownback’s call in 2012 and 2013 to enact massive income tax cuts in

an effort to stimulate the state’s economy.

The state’s projected cash reserves melt away as tax collections fall short of expectations.

Hensley, a vocal Brownback critic, predicted last week that the governor would have to make further cuts before lawmakers open their next annual session in January.

But Brownback said, “We’ll try to figure a way through it another way.”

As for proposing further tax increases, Brownback said, “We’re not going that route.”

Hensley said he doesn’t think it’s realistic for Brownback to suggest that he can keep the budget balanced without spending cuts or higher taxes.

“He continues to be in a state of denial about the adverse impact his tax policies are having on the state’s budget,” Hensley said.

The governor said Department of Revenue officials and university economists are particularly puzzled by a shortfall in sales tax collections. At $585 million during the previous three months, they’ve fallen nearly $20 million, or 3.2 percent short of expectations.

“The economy just has slowed,” Brownback said.

Department officials, Brownback’s budget staff, university economists and legislative researchers plan in November to issue new projections for tax collections.

acquisitions, procurement, hiring and the ability — or rather inability — to solicit funds all are governed by federal regulations.

For example, even seemingly simple decisions like choosing local service providers are not simple there, Chenault said.

“Under the rules that we operate under I can’t just go down to a local flooring company and say, ‘I’d like an estimate,’” Chenault said. That could disqualify the business from getting the job because it would have to register with the federal government to become an approved contractor.

Chenault said Haskell was looking to other federally funded — but not federally run — universities, such as Howard and Gallaudet in Washington, D.C., for inspiration.

On Wednesday, the issue of cumbersome federal processes peppered board discussion about everything from hiring instructors to fundraising.

Any resolutions crafted at this fall’s board meeting are scheduled to be voted on today.

Speaking in Wednesday’s long-range planning committee meeting, Haskell dean of professional schools Cheryl Chuckluck said federal regulations make it difficult to work efficiently.

“You want to run like a university, but we have so many rules, being federal employees, that sometimes they affect your time,” Chuckluck said.

“We have to implement two systems all the time.

My counterparts at other universities may not have to deal with these things.”

“We continue to work with them as prospective students with the hopes that they will enroll for the spring semester,” she said.

In total, there are currently 247 students in the program, Neufeld said.

Half are in the full AAP curriculum, and half in the “pre-AAP” curriculum for students who need to improve English proficiency before beginning the AAP curriculum.

The International Academic Accelerator Program, a model new to KU and involving a private business partnership, has been a topic of discussion in university governance bodies. Today, the Univer-

sity Senate is scheduled to get an update on the program from Sara Rosen, senior vice provost for academic affairs, and other KU administrators.

KU’s International Academic Accelerator Program was formally announced in February 2014 with a goal of nearly doubling KU’s international enrollment in about four years, and the first participants started classes in fall 2014. KU is partnering with Shorelight Education, a private company, on the initiative.

Shorelight recruits students from around the world to the program. At KU, for a flat fee of about $45,000, the all-in-onestyle program provides 12 months of room, board, tuition and activities for participating international students.

BRIEFLY Health Department, clinics to offer flu shots

Gov. Brownback unveils plaque to honor Eisenhower

The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department will offer flu shots during community clinics in Baldwin City, Eudora and Lecompton this month.

The Health Department recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older get a yearly flu vaccine. Getting the vaccination is the most effective way to avoid getting the flu, a contagious respiratory illness. Influenza can cause mild to severe symptoms and can lead to death.

Community clinics will be in: l Baldwin City — Oct. 13, 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., Baldwin City Library, 800 Seventh St. l Eudora — Oct. 13, 3:30 to 5 p.m., Eudora City Hall, 4 E. Seventh St. l Lecompton — Oct. 21, 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Lecompton United Methodist Church, 402 Elmore St. The flu shot is $28 for children ages 6 months to 35 months and $35 for those 3 years and older. The high-dose vaccine for individuals who are 65 and older is $51. The Health Department accepts private insurance, Medicare Part B, Medicaid and KanCare insurance plans.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, 200 Maine St., also offers flu shots on a walk-in basis during clinic hours. No appointment is necessary.

Topeka — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback thinks native son and President Dwight Eisenhower should have more than a sidewalk plaque to honor him on the Statehouse grounds.

The state unveiled the plaque Wednesday during a ceremony. It is the 11th on a “Walk of Honor” started in 2011. The event was a week before the 125th anniversary of Eisenhower’s birth in 1890.

During his remarks, Brownback proposed putting a statue of Ike outside the Statehouse and pointed toward a slope on the northwest side of the grounds. The governor later told reporters his office has been working sporadically on the project for about two years.

Eisenhower was a five-star Army general and supreme Allied commander in World War II before serving as president from 1953 to 1961. He died in 1969.

Additionally, Bob Dole, the longtime Kansas senator, is planning a fundraising effort to build the long-debated Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington, D.C. Dole told The Associated Press he aims to raise $150 million in private money to build the memorial after more than 15 years of planning. The 92-yearold World War II veteran said it’s long past time to honor Ike.

Restoring trust may require counselor’s help Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for two years, after living together for five. We have four beautiful children.

Things were going well until we moved into our new home. It’s as if we suddenly became strangers. We barely spoke to each other. He kept a lot of secrets and lied about everything.

I started snooping around and found out he was having two online affairs. I confronted him, and he became angry, as if it were my fault. He claims these “affairs” were the same as looking at pornography, but he’s wrong. I know one of these women, and they were both sending him text messages and racy photos. Last month, he cleared out half of our bank account and won’t tell me where the money went.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

I told him he had to stop or the marriage was over, so he trashed his phone and rarely gets online. But I can’t help thinking, given the chance, he would do it all again. I believe in keeping our marriage intact, but I just don’t trust him anymore. Should I leave him or give him another chance? — Confused and Worried Wife Dear Confused: When trust disappears in a marriage, it takes a great deal of effort —

Abercrombie models meet funeral home Soap operas are often ridiculed for their preposterous plot devices. And that goes double when you add supernatural elements. Seemingly unkillable, “The Vampire Diaries” (7 p.m., CW) enters its seventh season as convoluted as ever.

Apparently somebody has cast a spell, or something, that leaves departed central character Elena (Nina Dobrev) in a Snow Whitelike slumber, as her fate has become magically linked to Bonnie’s (Kat Graham) existence.

Looking like he might have fit in better on the set of “One Tree Hill,” Elena’s boyfriend, Damon (Ian Somerhalder), is crestfallen.

Watching all of these attractive young things pop in and out of coffins makes “Diaries” look like an Abercrombie & Fitch commercial shot in a funeral home.

Also set in a convoluted vampire universe, “The Originals” (8 p.m., CW) returns for a third season. Time flies when you’re already dead!

The ambush-interview game-show comedy “Billy on the Street” (9:30 p.m., truTV) enters a fourth season on a new network. A product of the people at Funny or Die, “Billy” aired on the Fuse network for its first three seasons.

Series star Billy Eichner stomps around lower Manhattan accosting strangers with trivia questions, often of an off-color nature. He also invites pedestrians to play peculiar game showlike contests complete with prizes that may include cash or odd trinkets of dubious worth.

He’s frequently accompanied by more famous celebrities. Half the fun is watching the number of pedestrians who can’t recognize big stars, as well as others who treat famous guests like close personal friends. Look for Tina Fey to join Billy tonight.

Eichner also stars in the Hulu comedy “Difficult People.” Both his sitcom character and his game show persona project a furious disdain for anybody and everybody who do not share his passion for whatever particularly petty subject consumes him at that very moment.

On “Billy,” he has fashioned himself into an odd combination of a crazy passerby with an overcaffeinated take on Monty Hall of “Let’s Make a Deal” fame.

Tonight’s other highlights

An FBI agent (Kim Raver)

appears to be covering up on “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox).

The Houston Texans host the Indianapolis Colts on “Thursday Night Football” (7:25 p.m., CBS, NFL).

Liz has nobody but Red on her side on “The Blacklist” (8 p.m., NBC).

Abby strives to prove herself worthy of a White House assignment on “Scandal” (8 p.m., ABC).

from both parties — to regain a foothold. As far as you know, your husband is no longer carrying on with other women. These things would justify giving him another chance.

But he still hasn’t explained or replaced the missing money (this is a huge red flag) and, obviously, you don’t fully believe that he will remain faithful.

This is why counseling is so important. Please ask your husband to go with you to see a professional who can help him understand why his behavior is so damaging, and work on ways for you to trust him again.

Commission complete Filling a vacant commission seat was just the first of many important decisions facing the Lawrence City Commission.

“L

et’s get to work,” Lisa Larsen said Tuesday night after she formally took her seat on the Lawrence City Commission.

There wasn’t a lot left on Tuesday night’s agenda, but Larsen has the right idea both for herself and the commission’s other four members.

Lots of business has been put on hold until the commission once again was at full strength. It’s time for the commission to “get to work” on a number of issues, including their top priority of hiring a new city manager.

Larsen’s appointment required some compromise among commissioners, and a stand-up action by Mayor Mike Amyx, who chose to avoid a split vote that would have required the city attorney to break the tie. Commissioner Matt Herbert expressed his support for Scott Morgan, the other finalist, who had experience as an elected school board member and was the top choice of the advisory group that screened applicants for the seat. Commissioners Leslie Soden and Stuart Boley expressed their preference for Larsen, a geologist and the only candidate whom all four commissioners had ranked among their top three last week.

Amyx had put Morgan above Larsen on his list last week but apparently decided that it was unfair to cast a vote that would have resulted in a tie and taken the decision out of the commission’s hands.

Acknowledging that situation, Amyx said, “I believe that I was elected by the folks in this community to make decisions on their behalf. That being said, I believe Lisa Larsen should fill the vacant City Commission position.”

Larsen’s appointment subsequently was approved by a unanimous vote of the commission. She is a former business owner who has lived in Lawrence for 19 years but has not served in public office before. She will join Amyx and three members who have served only six months on the commission. That lack of experience means commissioners may have to work extra hard to keep up with the demands of their job.

With the selection of a new commissioner behind them, commissioners now should focus on filling the city manager’s job. Other issues also demand attention, but none of them is more important than finding the right person to fill that key role for Lawrence.

Congratulations to Larsen, Amyx and the rest of the now-complete Lawrence City Commission. The difficult and important decision four commissioners faced Tuesday night is just the first of many more to come.

IRS director should be impeached Washington — “Look,” wrote Lois Lerner, echoing Horace Greeley, “my view is that Lincoln was our worst president not our best. He should (have) let the (S)outh go. We really do seem to have 2 totally different mindsets.”

Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, was referring to Southern secessionist states when he urged President-elect Lincoln to “let the erring sisters go in peace.”

Greeley favored separating the nation from certain mindsets; Lerner favors suppressing certain mindsets. At the IRS, she participated in delaying for up to five years — effectively denying — tax exempt status for, and hence restricting political activity by, groups with conservative mindsets. She retired after refusing to testify to congressional committees, invoking Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination.

As the IRS cover-up of its and her malfeasance continues, the Republicans’ new House leaders should exercise this constitutional power: “The House ... shall have the sole power of impeachment.” The current IRS director, John Koskinen, has earned this attention.

Constitutional basis The Constitution’s framers, knowing that executive officers might not monitor themselves, provided the impeachment recourse to bolster the separation of powers. Federal officials can be impeached for dereliction of duty (as in Koskinen’s failure to disclose the disappearance of emails germane to a congressional investigation); for failure to

Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, says the IRS has “lied to Congress,” and “destroyed documents under subpoena.”

He accuses Koskinen of “lies, obfuscation and deceit”: “He assured us he would comply with a congressional subpoena seeking Lois Lerner’s emails. Not only did he fail to keep that promise, we later learned he did not look in earnest for the information.”

After Koskinen complained about the high cost in time and money involved in the search, employees at a West Virginia data center told a Treasury Department official that no one asked for backup tapes of

Lerner’s emails. Subpoenaed documents, including 422 tapes potentially containing 24,000 Lerner emails, were destroyed. For four months, Koskinen kept from Congress information about Lerner’s elusive emails. He testified under oath that he had “confirmed” that none of the tapes could be recovered.

Investigation impeded Lerner conducted government business using private email, and when she was told that the IRS’s instant messaging system was not archived, she replied: “Perfect.” Koskinen’s obfuscating testimonies have impeded investigation of unsavory practices, including the IRS’ sharing, potentially in violation of tax privacy laws, up to 1.25 million pages of confidential tax documents. Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch, which has forced the IRS to disgorge documents, says some “prove that the agency used donor lists to audit supporters of organizations engaged in First Amendment-protected lawful political speech.”

In July testimony, Koskinen consistently mischaracterized the Government Accountability Office report on IRS practices pertaining to IRS audits of tax exempt status to groups. He wrongly testified that the report found “no examples of anyone who was improperly selected for an audit.” He mischaracterized the report’s criticism of IRS procedures for selecting exempt organizations for audits.

Contrary to his testimony, the report did not find that “individuals” were “automatically” selected for audit. The report did not investigate au-

dits of individual taxpayers; it reviewed selection practices for audits of exempt organizations. The report noted, and Koskinen neglected to mention, that the IRS tracks information about high-networth individuals. Congress should investigate whether that tracking includes contributions to political committees and issue groups and whether the IRS then initiates audits of donors.

Koskinen has testified that “there’s no evidence that anybody outside the IRS had ... any conversations with (Lerner) about (targeting conservative groups) or that she even had directives internally.”

How could he assert the absence of evidence that he had not sought? He had testified that he had conducted no investigation of the targeting.

Impeachment warranted Even if, as Koskinen says, he did not intentionally mislead Congress, he did not subsequently do his legal duty to correct the record in a timely manner. Even if he has not committed a crime such as perjury, he has a duty higher than merely avoiding criminality.

If the House votes to impeach, the Senate trial will not produce a two-thirds majority needed for conviction: Democrats are not ingrates. Impeachment would, however, test the mainstream media’s ability to continue ignoring this 5-year-old scandal, and would demonstrate to dissatisfied Republican voters that control of Congress can have gratifying consequences.

I also drive Kastrongly disagree with the state and urge sold several times a week getting to it to take immediate action on behalf of and from kids’ events. It seems like most of the congestion is related to the Smith family.

Arterial streets

Not ‘experiments’

the four-way stops, and that makes sense.

Think about it: Six cars arrive at an intersection at just slightly different times. They each have to scan five other cars to see who arrived first, and then ponder their own place in the order. When the driver does go, that driver still has to be keeping an eye on three other lanes to make sure no car suddenly appears and tries to run through the intersection out of turn. One can just drive down Wakarusa now to see how quickly a roundabout can handle traffic at an intersection, compared to the same amount of traffic at a four-way stop. What’s more, with a roundabout, people don’t have to stop if there’s no one already inside the roundabout!

Roundabouts and road diets are not “experiments.” They’re a common tool used throughout Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and the rest of the country. Making a street more enjoyable and safer to walk and bike along (and across), does not have to be incompatible with keeping car and truck traffic flowing smoothly along the street. I hope that city residents, city staff and city leaders take advantage of this opportunity to make the street a little smoother, more enjoyable and, in fact, more usable for everyone.

ment troops launched a ground offensive to crush rebel forces opposing the regime of President Bashar Assad.

The missile strikes mark a major escalation of Russia’s recent involvement in Syria’s long civil war and a growing threat to a faltering U.S. policy in Syria.

Russia said four warships carried out 26 missile strikes from the Caspian Sea, destroying 11 targets more than 900 miles away. The missiles crossed Iranian and Iraqi airspace.

Retailers seek protective PIN for cards Chip technology still vulnerable, group says

PAYING WITH CHIPPED CARD

Charisse Jones USA TODAY

USA SNAPSHOTS©

Russian President Vladimir Putin backs longtime ally Assad in his 4-year-old civil war against rebels that include the Islamic State extremists and more moderate opposition groups backed by the United States. That goal runs counter to the Obama administration’s objectives. The United States leads a coalition campaign of airstrikes in Iraq and Syria to defeat the Islamic State and calls for Assad’s removal.

Our credit cards are secured with computer chips, but the world’s largest retail trade group said consumers are no safer, while businesses are forced to spend up to $35 billion.

Most banks and credit unions issue credit cards that require a signature, rather than a PIN, a move that the National Retail Federation said means businesses are spending a fortune on terminals and software that will process “partially protective cards” that are still vulnerable to data breaches.

In many cases, the new equipment “provides no significant benefits either to the business or to the business’ regular custom-

ers. It is merely an additional expense small businesses are being told to bear,” David French, NRF senior vice president for government relations, said in a statement submitted to the House of Representatives’ small business committee.

The committee held a hearing on what the switch to chip-enabled cards means for small businesses more than a week after a liability shift took place, making merchants responsible for fraudulent transactions made with a chip card that they were unable to process.

Chip-enabled cards are more secure than those with just a magnetic stripe because they generate a unique code for each transaction, making them harder to counterfeit. The need for such technology has been underscored in the past couple of years in the wake of several high-profile data breaches at companies such as Target.

President Obama called Doctors Without Borders to apologize for the U.S. bombing of its hospital in Afghanistan and promised changes to procedures if necessary, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday.

The apology came hours after the medical aid group called for an independent investigation of the attack under the terms of the Geneva Conventions. Doctors Without Borders has condemned the airstrike on the hospital in Kunduz as a possible “war crime.”

Earnest disputed such claims, saying there is no evidence “that this was anything other than a terrible, tragic mistake.”

At least 22 people were killed in Saturday’s airstrike during fighting between Afghan forces and the Taliban, which took control of the city for three days last week.

Obama told Doctors Without Borders that a Pentagon investigation would “provide a transparent, thorough and objective accounting of the facts and circumstances of the incident,” Earnest said.

A statement from Joanne Liu, Doctors Without Borders’ international president, reiterated the organization’s request “that the U.S. government consent to an independent investigation led by the International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission to establish what happened in Kunduz, how it happened and why it happened.”

Earlier Wednesday, Liu said the strike “was not just an attack on our hospital, it was an attack on the Geneva Conventions. This cannot be tolerated.” The group said its call for an independent fact-finding mission would mark the first time such a probe would be commissioned under the conventions, which spell out the rules for international warfare.

“The U.S. attack on the hospital in Kunduz was the biggest loss of life for our organization in an airstrike,” Liu said in her statement.

“Tens of thousands of people in Kunduz can no longer receive medical care now when they need it most. Today we say: Enough.

Even war has rules.”

Obama also called Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to discuss the incident and pledged to keep working closely with his government, Earnest said.

Clinton now opposes controversial Asia trade pact She favored deal as secretary of State Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton said Wednesday she now opposes the proposed Pacific Rim trade deal in her biggest break yet from President Obama, a move her critics called another policy shift aimed at winning over liberal Democrats.

“I am not in favor of what I have learned about it,” Clinton WASHINGTON

said in an interview on PBS’ NewsHour.

“I have said from the very beginning that we have to have a trade agreement that would create good American jobs, raise wages and advance our national security,” she said, and she doesn’t believe the agreement “is going to meet the high bar I have set.”

The Trans-Pacific Partnership is opposed by labor unions.

Clinton’s move is a reversal from her support for the deal as Obama’s first secretary of State and is the latest step she has taken toward the more liberal wing

Her remarks come as Vice President Biden weighs entering the contest. Biden’s office issued a

one-sentence statement: “The vice president supports the TPP agreement and will help pass it on the Hill.”

Obama said the agreement will eliminate or reduce foreign tariffs on each nation’s products, easing trade in a zone that stretches from Canada to Chile to Australia and Japan. For the United States,

it means the elimination of what amounts to foreign taxes on about 18,000 U.S. products.

“This TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements,” Clinton said during a visit to Australia in 2012.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement, “Clinton’s painful waffling on TPP has been a case study in political expediency and is precisely why an overwhelming majority of Americans don’t trust her.”

In face of criticism, police officials preach tactics of de-escalation After recent conflicts between authorities and citizens, law enforcement officers undergo retraining to take cooler approach to incendiary situations

A rally is held to protest the death of Walter Scott in North Charleston, S.C., April 8.

Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

LEESBURG, VA .

The well-tended rows of brick and clapboard homes in the historic district are far removed from the fraught streets of Ferguson, Baltimore or Cleveland.

It’s been about six years, in fact, since a Leesburg cop discharged a firearm during an encounter with a suspect. Yet this year, every officer in the department was required to view troubling footage drawn from a series of violent clashes involving police around the nation that have fueled a re-examination of American law enforcement tactics.

“Disturbing and disgusting,” Leesburg officer Kristine Rzewnicki said, recalling one episode of the unusual film study, part of a retraining effort sweeping much of the nation. The instruction, aimed at tempering police responses to potentially flammable encounters, seeks to restore balance to a public safety job that has been increasingly defined as more warrior than guardian.

As readily as police departments once snapped up surplus military gear, which bolstered a combat-ready presence on the street, law enforcement agencies are embracing a collective strategy of de-escalation.

In Los Angeles, cops are immersed in “preservation of life” training. In Kansas City, it’s called “tactical disengagement.” San Diego police are developing a curriculum to emphasize a strategy known as “emotional intelligence.”

The rush of training is geared to slow encounters between officers and the public they police. In the past year, disputes have prompted spasms of civil unrest and contributed to an erosion of public trust in law enforcement across the country.

“Throughout the history of law enforcement, we’ve had the idea of ‘never back down, never retreat,’ ” Kansas City Police Chief Darryl Forté announced this year.

“We are encouraging and training our officers to use critical thinking and problem solving to avoid a situation in which they have to shoot someone to protect themselves.”

Chuck Wexler, executive director of the law enforcement thinktank Police Executive Research Forum, said the growing de-escalation movement represents “the biggest change” in use of force policy by police agencies in recent history.

KAVEH REZAEI FOR USA TODAY

Every officer in the Leesburg, Va., Police Department was required to view footage drawn from violent police encounters.

“What is happening now is right at the front end of a movement,” Wexler said. “There is a sense that whatever (police) had been doing out there was not good enough.”

‘THE LAST STRAW’

The tipping point for Leesburg Police Chief Joseph Price had nothing to do with the conduct of his officers. Rather, he could no longer ignore a stream of troubling images featuring police in violent clashes with suspects, from Washington state to South Carolina.

“The North Charleston (S.C.) shooting, clearly, was the last straw,” said Price, referring to the fatal shooting in April of Walter Scott, 50, after an encounter with officer Michael Slager. A video of the incident, recorded by a witness, appears to show Scott running from Slager when he was

“The warrior mentality has a place, but it should not dominate.”

Leesburg Police Chief Joseph Price

shot in the back. The officer was charged with Scott’s murder.

“There was no weapon anywhere near Mr. Scott,” said Price, who responded by launching a retraining program for the nearly 100-officer force partially based on the very videos that have continued to fuel a national debate over police tactics.

Parts of the five-hour sessions included study of the North Charleston video, along with similar encounters drawn from Seattle and Albuquerque.

The videos, the chief said, were

dissected and critiqued — in some cases several times in the same way sports teams prepare for their next opponents.

“Some folks were very upset after seeing them,” Price said.

Though Rzewnicki is generally uncomfortable judging the actions of other officers “after the fact,” she said the egregious conduct of some “puts everyone in uniform in potential danger.”

The 47-year-old patrol officer said one incident not shown in the videos examined by the department stands out for her. It involved the beating this year of a suspect who had attempted to flee California authorities on horseback. “They were just walloping him,” Rzewnicki said, referring to the videotaped arrest of Francis Pusok, 30, a suspect in an identity theft investigation.

“It was disgusting, unnecessary,” she said. “It bothers me. Of course, I want to change that image.”

Price made basic language changes in how the department refers to force incidents. “We changed the terminology to ‘response to threats or resistance,’ ” Price said. “Use of force sounded like officers were initiating the action. Sure, it’s largely symbolic.

But we wanted to stress at all levels that the change in title shows that action is only taken when an officer is forced to use it.”

STRIKING A BALANCE

Although there is wide support for such change, there are concerns that a dramatic swing in police response could have implications for basic officer safety and that real cultural change

Russia says it targets all terrorists v CONTINUED FROM 1B

“We’re really on our back foot and have been since the Russians started their buildup in Syria,” said Jeff White, a former Defense Intelligence Agency official now at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “We’ve lost the initiative.”

The Pentagon accused Russia of bolstering Assad by attacking moderate opposition groups the United States supports. Wednesday, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter called the Russian strategy “tragically flawed.”

Russian officials countered that their goal is to go after all terrorist groups. Russia seeks “a terror-free Syria and a terror-free region,” said Aydar Aganin, a Middle East analyst at the Russian Embassy in Washington.

Rejecting U.S. claims that the airstrikes are not aimed at Islamic State militants, Aganin said, “We strike terrorists.”

Washington is struggling to find a winning strategy for ending Syria’s civil war and halting a flood of refugees swarming into the Middle East and Europe.

Even before the Russian buildup, the Pentagon acknowledged its plan to field a force of moderate rebels to fight the Islamic State had run into problems, and it suspended most of the program after training just a few fighters.

The Russian Defense Ministry said warships of the Caspian Flotilla carried out massive missile strikes in Syria. group was attacked by al-Qaedalinked forces shortly after arriving in Syria, and another turned over equipment and ammunition to the same terrorist organization. Only a handful of Pentagontrained opposition forces remain in Syria.

“I’m the first one to acknowledge it has not worked the way it was supposed to,” President Obama said recently.

The White House and military officials are examining other ways to support moderate opposition forces to counter the Islamic State. Those groups may be vulnerable to Russian attacks.

The U.S.-led coalition has dropped thousands of bombs on Islamic State targets but has kept ground forces out of the country.

Russia has deployed helicopter gunships, tanks and rocket launchers to Syria, along with troops to guard Russian bases.

Putin said he would not send ground combat troops to Syria.

Assad’s forces, which had suffered a number of defeats before the Russians sent support, are engaged in an offensive centered around Hama, a city in northcentral Syria.

Obama has accused Putin of intervening in Syria “because his client, Mr. Assad, was crumbling.”

Obama wants Assad out, citing atrocities against his own people.

“Now we have to contemplate going to war with Russia if we want to get rid of Assad,” said Christopher Chivvis, an analyst at RAND Corp.

Aganin said Moscow’s goal is not to protect Assad but to fight the spread of terrorism. He noted that the Syrian battlefields are 300 miles from Russia’s Caucasus region. He said Russia estimates that 2,000 fighters from former Soviet republics have joined the radicals.

The militants “see parts of Russia as a target for this caliphate they are building,” said Yury Melnik, the Russian Embassy’s spokesman. “If they succeed in standing their ground in Syria and Iraq, they may bring their activities closer and closer to Russia, which is a direct threat.”

Aganin said Russia wants whoever is fighting the Islamic State to join forces because eliminating the radical group would improve prospects for a political solution in Syria. “It’s in the mutual interest of the Syrian army and the moderate opposition” to fight the Islamic State, “and we are ready to support both if we have a point of contact,” Melnik said.

The United States said it is willing to hold “technical” talks with Russia to avoid a mishap between coalition and Russian pilots. The White House said it would not coordinate more broadly with the Russians unless they agreed to a political transition that would remove Assad from power.

Dorell reported from Washington.

will require more than a series of retraining sessions.

Richard Beary, president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, said more recent attacks on police — including last month’s fatal shooting of a Houston sheriff’s deputy while he was pumping gas — suggest “the threats to officers are very real.”

“I hear this national call for deescalation,” Beary said. “It doesn’t work when people are threatening your life.”

Price said the Leesburg training sessions were met with initial resistance among some officers, including combat veterans. That was largely overcome, the chief said, during animated discussions centering on law enforcement’s core mission: protection.

“We live with the sheep, but we never turn against the sheep,” he said. “When the wolf comes, we protect the sheep to the death. ...

The warrior mentality has a place, but it should not dominate.

In today’s world, you need the skill set of a warrior and the mindset of a guardian.”

Last month in a speech outlining efforts to develop trust between law enforcement and communities, Vanita Gupta, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, said de-escalation training is “changing use of force norms” in police agencies across the country.

“Training, of course, is key,” Gupta told delegates to a policing conference in New Jersey.

“Sometimes, people just need to be heard,” Rzewnicki said. “A lot of officers think of it as ‘hug a thug,’ but it couldn’t be further from the truth.”

IN S.C., WATCHING, WAITING AND WORRYING John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

South Carolinians spent the day Wednesday cleaning up, nervously watching dams and waiting for floodwaters to recede.

About 1,000 homeowners in Columbia who were urged to evacuate in the early-morning hours over concerns the Beaver Dam would fail were given a reprieve later in the day when crews shored up the dam.

About 400 tons of rocks had been dumped to reinforce the dam, and efforts have been underway since Monday to draw down the lake behind the dam.

The level of the lake had dropped more than 6 feet by early Wednesday, officials said.

As more rivers crest in the next few days, flooding concerns re-

Thousands of residents have been forced to flee. Many returned to bleak, soggy wreckage.

Mary Webb is one of dozens of evacuees who stayed overnight at the Bernie Hope Center in Sumter County, about 40 miles east of Columbia.

“Basically we lost everything to the water damage,” Webb said.

Chad Shields uses a kayak Wednesday to deliver food to his mother, Brenda Shields, after her home was flooded in Summerville, S.C. Flooding concerns remain in the coming days.

“But thank God that we’re living and healthy.”

State Insurance Division chief Ray Farmer said a statewide preliminary damage estimate could be released by week’s end. Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin said he expected damage to be “in the billions of dollars.” Steve Bowen, a meteorologist with the global insurance firm Aon Benfield, agreed.

“It appears to be an absolute certainty that the final damage bill is going to be above $1 billion, and most likely a multibillion economic cost,” Bowen told USA TODAY. “Until the waters fully recede and homeowners and businesses can take a complete assessment of the damage, we won’t know for sure the ultimate price tag.”

Japanese ‘Schindler’ is finally recognized

A defining moment for likely man of the House

TOKYO As world attention is focused on the plight of migrants fleeing conflicts in Syria and Iraq, a Japanese diplomat who risked everything to save thousands of Jewish refugees during World War II is finally getting his due.

Chiune Sugihara was Japan’s vice consul in Kaunas, Lithuania, when he defied government orders and issued travel visas allowing thousands of Jewish refugees to escape Nazi persecution in 1940. He later resigned under pressure from the Foreign Ministry and spent years in self-imposed exile.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy is the odds-on favorite to be nominated speaker in Thursday’s GOP meeting.

Plenty of challenges await McCarthy, whose rise was fueled by savvy, charm Deirdre Shesgreen USA TODAY

I

WASHINGTON

n 1987, Kevin McCarthy applied for an internship in the Washington office of Rep. Bill Thomas, a legislative powerhouse representing Southern California.

McCarthy didn’t get the gig, so he volunteered in Thomas’ district office instead. And he worked so hard that before too long, he was running the shop — and being groomed for elective office himself.

Fast forward to today, and McCarthy is poised to become speaker of the House, one of the most powerful Republicans in the country and second in line to succeed the president. Currently the House majority leader, McCarthy has rocketed up the congressional ladder, fueled by a mix of personal charm, political savvy, good timing and non-stop work.

On Thursday, House Republicans will gather behind closed doors to nominate a new leader, prompted by House Speaker John Boehner’s surprise announcement last month that he would resign effective Oct. 30.

McCarthy, one of three contend-

ers, is the odds-on favorite to win the top slot. If he wins that closed-door secret-ballot contest, where he only needs a majority of House Republicans, McCarthy would then face a public roll call on the House floor later this month, where conservatives could try to derail his bid.

But as he prepares to take the helm of the House, the happy-golucky lawmaker from the Golden State is about to face the political test of his life. Will the 50-year-old McCarthy — a die-hard Los Angeles Lakers fan and mountain biker who spends his spare time studying other lawmakers’ districts — be any more adept than Boehner at leading a fractious GOP conference in a bitterly divided Congress?

Boehner’s tenure as speaker has been rocked by GOP rebellions, internal strife and embarrassing setbacks. Now, some Tea Party groups are gunning for McCarthy, calling him “Boehner 2.0” and urging conservative lawmakers to oppose his speaker bid.

Allies say McCarthy’s easygoing political temperament will help him build consensus where Boehner could not.

He’s a “happy person with a smile for everybody,” said Cathy Abernathy, a GOP consultant in California, who, as then-chief of

Kevin McCarthy could become speaker with less congressional experience than any speaker since 1891. staff to Thomas, turned McCarthy down for the internship before hiring him to work in the congressman’s district office.

McCarthy is more than just a super nice guy, she said. When it comes to helping other lawmakers, “he puts in the time to find out what you want and what you need to succeed in representing your district,” Abernathy said. “That’s why he was trusted so quickly.”

Others say McCarthy is an inexperienced legislator who doesn’t have the policy chops or the political will to navigate the legislative minefield ahead, whether that’s pushing a longterm highway bill through the House or negotiating a sweeping budget deal with Senate Republicans and President Obama.

Mark Martinez, a political science professor at California State University-Bakersfield, attributed McCarthy’s quick ascent to good luck and political connections, saying that Thomas paved the way for McCarthy to win a seat in the State Assembly and then to succeed him in Congress.

If he wins the speakership, McCarthy will step into the job with less congressional experience than any previous speaker since 1891, according to an analysis by Smart Politics, a non-partisan political site. McCarthy has been in the House for less than 10 years, and he has never chaired a congressional committee.

And while many say McCarthy is more telegenic than Boehner, his communication skills are not as polished.

That was on display last week when, in an interview on Fox News, McCarthy suggested House Republicans set up the special committee to investigate the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi as a way to drag down former secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers as she mounted her presidential bid. That sparked a firestorm among other House Republicans, who defended the committee’s work and called on McCarthy to apologize.

Exhibition honors Chiune Sugihara and Anne Frank.

Sugihara issued more than 2,000 visas and saved more than 6,000 lives.

“Sugihara is proof that one person’s choice to take action in the face of evil — whatever the consequences — can make a difference,” said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles.

A government advisory panel recommended last month that documents relating to Sugihara — known as “Japan’s Schindler” — be submitted to the UNESCO Memory of the World Register, a compendium of key historical documents.

An exhibition devoted to Sugihara and Holocaust victim Anne Frank will open in Tokyo this week.

IN BRIEF GLASS WALKWAY, 3,500 FEET HIGH, CRACKS IN CHINA

A newly opened glass walkway, suspended 3,500 feet above a canyon in central China, cracked to the terror of thrillseeking tourists.

The 1,300-foot-long glassbottom walkway is built along Yuntai Mountain Scenic Park in Henan Province, China.

The walkway is closed for repairs after a panel of glass along the walkway fractured Monday, China’s People Daily Online reported.

The incident was caused by a sharp object falling on the glass, according to a statement from Yuntai Mountain Tourism Administration. The bridge is made of three panes of tem-

pered glass, and only the top pane was cracked, according to the association.

According to the outlet, a park official said the fractured glass “does not affect safety,” though tourists and many on social media disagreed.

Officials noted that similar incidents have happened in other glass-bottom structures, such as Chicago’s Willis Tower.

COAST GUARD SUSPENDS SEARCH FOR EL FARO CREW

J. GUADALUPE PEREZ, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

The Popocatepetl volcano spews ash as high as 9,850 feet Wednesday in central Mexico, according to the National Disaster Prevention Center. The volcano is in the states of Puebla and Morelos.

The Coast Guard said it was suspending at sunset Wednesday the search for survivors from a massive cargo ship that vanished near Bermuda last week in the fury of Hurricane Joaquin.

The announcement came as National Transportation Safety Board investigators arrived in Jacksonville to press their effort to solve the mystery of the El Faro, a 790-foot container ship with 33 people aboard.

The Coast Guard found the remains of one crewmember over the weekend. No other crewmembers had been found, and hopes of survival had dimmed.

Coast Guard Capt. Mark Fedor said the search for survivors would end at 7 p.m. The focus will turn to finding the ship and the recorders that could explain in detail the demise of the 40year old ship.

Forest Service adopts race data policy Nick Penzenstadler USA TODAY

An embarrassing episode of discrimination by the U.S. Forest Service in 2011 concluded this month with the introduction of a nationwide policy requiring officers to collect race data at traffic stops.

Forest law enforcement officers, about 500 scattered across the USA, will now have to record “perceived” race information after stopping vehicles.

The new policy stems from a U.S. Department of Agriculture civil rights ruling in favor of a Guatemalan woman who argued she and a partner were racially targeted in 2011 in the Olympic National Forest, 140 miles west of Seattle.

The two were harvesting salal, an evergreen plant used in flower arrangements near Forks, Wash., the town made famous by the Twilight movie series. When stopped, the Forest Service officer called U.S. Border Patrol for backup — a then-routine practice that is now banned because it was done under the guise of translation, but often resulted in detention and deportation.

Benjamin Roldan Salinas, an illegal Mexican immigrant, was with the woman and fled when Border Patrol agents arrived.

MONEYLINE RECALL OF SCANDAL-HIT VWS SHOULD START IN JANUARY Volkswagen’s new CEO says that a recall of cars with software at the center of the emissions-rigging scandal should start in January and the automaker aims to fix them all by the end of next year. Volkswagen has said up to 11 million vehicles worldwide across several of its brands contain the diesel engine with the software used to cheat on U.S. emissions tests. In most cases a software update will fix the problem, CEO Matthias Mueller said, but some vehicles could need new injectors and catalyzers.

SABMILLER REJECTS $104B BID FROM AB INBEV AS TOO LOW British-South African beer brewer SABMiller on Wednesday rejected a $104 billion bid from rival beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev. The rebuff was SABMiller’s third this month. Previously, AB InBev said it was “disappointed” that two earlier approaches were rejected without what it described as “meaningful engagement” from SABMiller. SAB Miller said the latest proposal still undervalued the firm and its potential for growth.

AT&T OK’D FOR WI-FI CALLING AT&T has gotten a waiver from the Federal Communications Commission to begin offering Wi-Fi calling to cellular customers. The waiver, which expires at the end of 2017, lets AT&T begin offering Wi-Fi calling without also offering teletypewriter communications (TTY) for the deaf, hard of hearing and speechimpaired. AT&T wants to use real-time texting instead because it works better over the Internet. No word yet on when the Wi-Fi calling feature will be available to AT&T customers.

IT MAY SAVE THE DAY — OR SINK THE MARKETS A gloomy profit picture could spook investors even more Adam Shell USA TODAY

T

he third-quarter earnings season comes at a pivotal time for the stock market, as stocks are coming off their first 10% correction in four years and are still working through a bottoming process that has yet to give a definitive all-clear signal.

If earnings from companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index top analysts’ lowered expectations and corporate CEOs deliver a favorable future outlook, despite headwinds such as slowing global growth, it could put stocks on more solid footing and propel a year-end rally.

But if the profit picture turns gloomy and profit misses dominate and CEOs warn of tougher days ahead, it could spook investors and spark additional selling in what has already been a lousy year for U.S. stocks. Equities have been dragged down this year by global weakness sparked by a slowdown in China, the negative drag on earnings and sales of U.S. multinationals from a stronger dollar, continued weakness in the energy patch and uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s interestrate-hike plans.

The starting point is the market’s expectations for the profitreporting season. Right now, expectations are downbeat.

Gannett, the publishing company that owns USA TODAY and media businesses in 92 local markets, said late Wednesday that it has agreed to buy Journal Media Group for about $280 million, following through on its strategy of acquiring additional local news outlets after it was spun off from its former parent in June.

Shareholders of Milwaukeebased Journal Media Group will receive $12 a share in cash. That is a 45% premium from the Wednesday closing price of $8.30.

Journal Media Group owns the 178-year-old Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, The Commercial Appeal of Memphis, 13 other daily newspapers, 18 weeklies and their affiliated websites in 14 local markets in the U.S. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016. It was approved by both companies’ boards of directors and is subject to approval by Journal Media Group shareholders.

Shares of Gannett closed at $14.94, up almost 4%.

JACK GRUBER, USA TODAY

Shares of Gannett, headquartered in McLean, Va., closed up Wednesday at $14.94.

Gannett, based in McLean, Va., will finance the deal through cash and borrowing under the company’s $500 million revolving credit line. “Gannett is excited to be joining forces with an organization that is so respected by their communities and industry,” Gannett CEO Robert Dickey said.

After the deal, Gannett will have a media outlet in 106 local markets in the U.S. It will result in “a combined digital audience of more than 100 million unique visitors a month,” it said. Its print circulation will rise by about 675,000 on weekdays and 950,000 on Sundays, it said.

In late June, Gannett split from its former parent, now called Tegna. Gannett is focusing on USA TODAY and local markets, 10 of which are in Wisconsin. Tegna, formerly Gannett, is mainly focusing on TV broadcasting and its digital businesses, Cars.com and CareerBuilder.com.

Wall Street investors catching beer buzz Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

The global battle over the biggest brew brands might not be great for consumers. But it’s a bash for investors.

Shares of beer brewers are bubbling higher this year as investors are seeing consolidation in the industry as a way to unlock value despite anemic beer consumption growth. Shares of the 28 brewer stocks that trade on major exchanges around the world are up an average of 2%, and the 10 most valuable brewers that trade on major global exchanges are up 8% on average.

These brewer gains easily top the 3.1% decline by the Standard & Poor’s 500 this year.

Some individual brewer stocks are doing much better. AnheuserBusch InBev shares are up 5.1% this year and Heineken Holding shares are up 25%. Molson Coors

JOE RAEDLE, GETTY IMAGES

Beer is a hot commodity.

Brewing, the largest brewer that has its primary listing in the U.S., is up 8.5%.

But it’s not demand pushing up brewer stocks. U.S. beer volume growth is expected to fall this year as wine and other beverages win a bigger piece of alcohol demand, said Joseph Agnese of S&P Capital IQ in a report to clients.

Consolidation is the wild card.

Anheuser-Busch InBev can’t seem to take no for an answer from British-South African brewer SABMiller, which Wednesday turned down a buyout offer for

the third time. Most recently, Anheuser offered $104 billion for SABMiller in a play that would combine the world’s two largest brewers. Shares of Molson, up $1.22 to $82.21 Wednesday, have benefited as many hope the company could buy former SABMiller U.S. assets if the company is bought by Anheuser.

It’s still a tough business environment for many brewers. Boston Beer, brewer of Sam Adams, has seen its shares drop 24.5% this year. The company’s revenue is expected to inch up only 1.3% in 2015, Agnese says, due to just 9% shipment growth and tough competition from craft brewers.

Analysts, on average, rate the stock a “hold” and have an 18month price target of $233.38 a share. Shares closed Wednesday at $222.17, up $4.93 or 2.3%.

Analysts are more bullish on Molson Coors, giving the stock an average “outperform” rating. The 18-month price target of $90.70 is 10% higher than where the stock

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

The Federal Reserve’s September meeting was notable for what the Fed did not do: raise interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade, a decision that at the time confused investors and caused a fresh bout of turbulence in an already volatile stock market.

But Wall Street knows it was a close call. Traders will scrutinize the minutes of the Sept. 16-17 meeting to see just how close.

While a lot has happened in the past three weeks that lead Wall Street pros to believe that a Fed rate hike is farther away than in September, more clarity about why the Fed stood pat last month (they cited still-low inflation, market turbulence and worries about global economic condi-

China a concern, but investors like fast-food chain Q: Is Yum brands cooked?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Yum Brands — the company behind restaurant chains KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell — stunned investors with an earnings disappointment.

But patient investors take hope.

The third calendar quarter was unsavory across the board. The company’s adjusted quarterly profit during the period was $1 a share, which fell shy of estimates by 6.5%. Revenue of $3.4 billion also came in below views by nearly 7%.

Investors punished the stock, dropping it $15.17, or 19%, to $67.71.

But the same thing that’s troubling Yum Brands investors is a wider concern: China. A slowing Chinese economy has investors worried about Yum as well as other companies counting on growth there. Last year, Yum Brands got half its revenue from China. Slowness in the Asian country is a big reason the company told investors that its previous 10% earnings growth goal for this year likely would be a stretch.

The China scare is hurting Yum Brands along with other stocks exposed to the area. But analysts don’t see a systemic problem. The Taco Bell and KFC units are still growing. Analysts still see value in the stock. Shares for Yum Brands get an average “outperform” rating from analysts, who have a $89.45 18month price target.

VW boss to face Congress in 1st public hearing on scandal Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Volkswagen will be pressed to explain the origins and details behind its emissions scandal Thursday when a House subcommittee holds the first public hearing into the matter.

The German automaker’s U.S. boss and Environmental Protection Agency officials will take the witness stand before the House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations panel less than a month after the scandal

PETER STEFFEN, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn will testify before a House subcommittee Thursday.

erupted.

Michael Horn, CEO of Volkswagen’s U.S. operations, will face questions about manipulative

software installed in up to 11 million diesel cars worldwide — which fooled regulators into believing that the vehicles were compliant with emissions standards. Horn could be helped by the candor that he showed immediately after the scandal broke, admitting that Volkswagen “totally screwed up“ just three days after the EPA exposed the scandal.

But VW also presents a risk for a company that’s already facing a slew of class-action lawsuits and government investigations, including a U.S. Justice Department criminal probe.

What’s more, lawmakers are

likely to press Horn for details on the deception and cover-up that unfolded, which Volkswagen has repeatedly said it’s still assembling. “One wrong remark and you can put yourself on a slippery slope,” AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan said. “I’m sure he’s being well-coached, and I’m sure his handlers are prepping him, but sometimes in these situations less is more.”

Volkswagen has hired law firm Jones Day to investigate its handling of the matter but has said that it does not have all the answers yet. But the company’s new CEO, Matthias Mueller, told a

German newspaper earlier this week that the emissions manipulation originated from the company’s operations in Germany, not the U.S., according to CNBC. EPA officials testifying at the hearing could also face tough questions over the agency’s failure to catch the scheme and over standards that are more stringent than in Europe. They are Christopher Grundler, director of the Office of Transportation and Air Quality and the Office of Air and Radiation, and Phillip Brooks, director of the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Air Enforcement Division.

Break out the white flags.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame may finally surrender to Cheap Trick, nominated for induction in 2016. Eligible since 2002, the I Want You to Want Me rockers join other first-ever nominees including R&B veteran Janet Jackson, new wave rockers The Cars and Mexican-American group Los Lobos.

Singer Chaka Khan is nominated solo (previously up for 2012 induction with funk band Rufus), while Steve Miller and Chicago are in contention after two decades of eligibility. Nine Inch Nails, N.W.A., Chic and The Smiths — all in the running last year — are nominated again.

“It’s a wide range,” says Joel Peresman, CEO and president of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. “It’s not necessarily how many records you’ve sold, it’s about what your influence in the arts is.”

“the splintering of genres that increasingly began to characterize popular music since the ’90s — and the variety of nominees that I think we’ll see from now into the future,” says Rolling Stone contributing editor Anthony DeCurtis.

Inductees will be determined by more than 800 artists, historians and music-industry professionals.

Artists are eligible for consideration 25 years after releasing their first single or album (1990, for the newest crop of nominees).

The 2016 inductees will be announced in December, and the induction ceremony will be held in New York in April.

Nine Inch Nails

ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM

DEEP PURPLE The British quintet, which helped define the heavy metal genre with its organ-driven thick sound and early covers of Hush and Kentucky Woman, hijacked the charts with Smoke on the Water and Woman From Tokyo.

THE CARS The Boston rockers have had enduring classics in songs such as Just What I Needed, My Best Friend’s Girl and Drive, and reunited for 2011’s Move Like This after Benjamin Orr died from pancreatic cancer in 2000.

CHAKA KHAN Hailed as the Queen of Funk, the emotive songstress has won 10 Grammy Awards, including best R&B vocal performance for standard I Feel for You. CHIC With dance-floor classics Le Freak and Good Times, Nile Rodgers and company gave disco a brilliant, soulful upgrade and influenced generations of pop and hip-hop artists.

THE J.B.’S This is the original name of James Brown’s ’70s band, which included members Bootsy Collins and Bobby Byrd and climbed the charts with funk tunes Gimme Some More and Doing It to Death.

JANET JACKSON A dance/pop icon and the youngest child of the Jackson family, the Rhythm Nation singer has gotten some of the best reviews of her career for new album Unbreakable, which is expected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard album charts next week.

LOS LOBOS The Latin rockers seamlessly blend country, R&B and folk, and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1987 with their cover of Ritchie Valens’ La Bamba.

STEVE MILLER The veteran guitarist has released more than a dozen albums with his Steve Miller Band since the mid-1960s, scoring hits with seminal anthems The Joker, Abracadabra and Jet Airliner.

N.W.A Immortalized onscreen in this summer’s blockbuster biopic Straight Outta Compton, the West Coast rap group led by Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Eazy-E caught the attention of the FBI with its gangsta rap classic F - - - Tha Police.

NINE INCH NAILS Trent Reznor’s industrial rock project scored its biggest hit more than a decade ago with The Day the World Went Away, but has remained a force due in part to extensive touring, a recent album (2013’s Hesitation Marks) and Reznor’s film work as an Oscar- and Grammywinning composer.

THE SMITHS They were together only five years, but the British pop quartet released four influential albums in the ’80s, distinguished by Morrissey’s baritone howls and Johnny Marr’s finesse as guitarist.

THE SPINNERS The Detroit-bred R&B group helped shape the smooth-funk sound of Philadelphia soul in the ’70s, charting hits such as Could It Be I’m Falling in Love, I’ll Be Around and Mighty Love.

YES Largely responsible for bringing progressive rock to the mainstream, these symphonic, experimental Englishmen are considered the forefathers to other beloved synth-driven bands such as Rush and Dream Theater.

For a boy who’s not supposed to grow up, Pan star Levi Miller is failing in his duties.

The Australian actor just turned 13 last week while attending the Japanese premiere of his big-screen fantasy adventure (in theaters Friday), so he’s that much closer to adulthood — though he’s still got a tweenager’s high-pitched voice. Miller already has fallen hard for co-star Rooney Mara (“She’s very beautiful”), and he was caught getting kissed by supermodel Cara Delevingne in a London red-carpet situation.

But ask him about getting in a harness to fly around like the Peter Pan of legend, and it’s less talk of autographs and selfies and more Miller just being a kid in awe of his big break.

“It’s an 11-year-old boy’s imagination, and that’s what Neverland is and what makes it cool,” says

LAURIE SPARHAM

Peter (Levi Miller) stows away to get to Neverland in Pan. Miller, a native of Brisbane.

In director Joe Wright’s prequel of sorts to J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, Peter (Miller) has grown up in an English orphanage after being left there by his mother — his only connection to her is the pan flute necklace he wears on his neck. When the minions of

the notorious Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman) come in a flying pirate ship to nab orphans to mine fairy dust in Neverland, Peter steals a ride and joins the fight to save the place as well as to find his mom.

The director went through the trial of appraising more than 4,500 boys before finding his Pe-

ter. “When Levi popped up, it made it all worthwhile,” he says.

“It was an easy epiphany.”

For Wright, one of the privileges of making Pan was watching Miller’s confidence grow as he came into his own as an actor.

“In the second week of rehearsals, he would call Hugh nothing but ‘Hugh Jackman,’ ” Wright recalls. “He’d say, ‘Good morning, Hugh Jackman,’ and ‘I don’t need a cup of tea, thank you, Hugh Jackman.’ It took about a week for Levi to call him Hugh and stop blushing whenever he came into the room.”

New American fans will be able to see Miller again sooner than later — he plays Carter Grant, the son of Calista Flockhart’s media mogul Cat Grant, in CBS’ upcoming Supergirl series.

So far, Miller says, Hollywood has been a “crazy” experience, especially for a kid far from being a jaded grown-up. “There’s so much going on. Every time you go on a set, it’s a whole different world, and I love that.”

As a result, the Year 1 transition for the former Stephen F. Austin and Emporia State coach includes discovering who KU can count on for points.

“Right now, I have no idea who’s gonna provide us the bulk of the scoring, whether it’s one player or three players,” Schneider said Wednesday, at his inaugural media day at Allen Fieldhouse. “I think right now, we’re gonna have to be very balanced, because as we practice and we work with our players, I don’t think you’d look at our roster and say, ‘OK, well that’s a

Manning-Allen. No other the state into one massive small state.

Even before Art Briles turned Baylor into a national-powerhouse football program, everybody in Texas knew his name and he knew quite a few of theirs.

Briles is in his 37th season drawing a paycheck for coaching football, from five different high schools and three universities. Every single one of those jobs came in the state of Texas.

Briles has such a wide net of contacts in Texas that he finds out about the state’s best prospects sooner than anybody because he has so many former assistant coaches and players from his 21 years as a high school coach who are now heading programs in the state.

Blend that recruiting headstart with a keen eye for evaluating talent, a brilliant mind for offensive X’s and O’s, a charming personality, a winning track record and a beautiful new stadium and it’s not so difficult to see how Briles has turned a former Big 12 doormat into a leading national-title contender.

Kansas University’s 11 a.m. Saturday kickoff vs.

Baylor has sparked more conversation than most mismatches around town for reasons that extend beyond seeing true freshman quarterback Ryan Willis make his first start.

The question on so many people’s minds never takes long to surface in conversations: How many points will Baylor score?

The follow-up never takes long. It is asked either with a nervous smile or a painful expression: Can Baylor score 100 points Tony Gutierrez/AP Photo against KU?

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Jayhawks hope to have short memories

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Before the Kansas University men’s basketball team could begin to move forward toward another season loaded with great expectations and even higher hopes, the Jayhawks had to go through the process of putting the 2014-15 season to bed.

After suffering a thirdround loss to in-state upand-comer Wichita State last March and bowing out during the NCAA Tournament’s opening weekend for the second year in a row, that meant different things for different players.

As the official beginning of the 2015-16 sea-

son looms, marked by the fast-approaching Late Night on Friday, a handful of Jayhawks shared their methods of choice that helped them get over another season-ending disappointment.

“Honestly, the thing that helps you get over it is just to not think about it,” said junior Brannen Greene.

“I mean, it’s hard to do when you’re so used to going straight to practice after class and going to weights and seeing coach every day. All of a sudden fans aren’t Tweeting you any more, nobody’s talking about the season any more. Other teams are playing. To get over it, it’s really just time. There’s no magic formula.”

The closest thing to that seems to be getting back into the gym as quickly as possible.

“We start working out right away, maybe a day or two after it,” junior Frank Mason III said.

“Other than that, nothing changes. Still make it to class. Still around people on a daily basis. Just try to have a positive mindset and focus on next year.”

For this year’s team, moving on was made a little easier thanks to the opportunity to represent the United States in the World University Games in South Korea over the summer. Instead of having to wait more than six months to get going, Bill Self’s squad was able

to fire up its competitive juices a mere three months after that disappointing walk off the floor in Omaha, Nebraska, where KU was outclassed by Wichita State in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

“It’s always in the back of your mind until you’re back in that situation,” admitted senior Perry Ellis of those postseason disappointments.

“But, this summer, getting a chance to play for that gold really gave us a lot of confidence and taught us how to win. And I feel like that’s definitely a push forward for the season.”

While that helped in the big picture, Ellis said

the days that immediately follow a season-ending loss never get easy.

“It’s a weird feeling, man,” he said. “Knowing that you could still be playing and you’re just sitting around. You really don’t want to watch the games because you want to be in that situation.

You just kind of want to sit around and get in the gym and get some shots up to kind of get your mind away from it.”

Senior Jamari Traylor agreed and even went one step further.

“After it, I didn’t even cut my TV on,” he said.

“You just have to get back in the gym and come in here a lot more focused.”

Asked if he was wor-

ried that losing early in the tournament a couple of years in a row could make the Jayhawks desensitized to the disappointment that accompanies such endings, Traylor laughed.

“No chance we could get used to that,” he said.

“If you do, this ain’t the place for you. We all want to win every game when we step out on the court. I know it’s gonna be hard to go undefeated, but that’s the mindset we have. Every game you go out there on that court, you should try to win it.

Every time. And we’ve got a good chance of doing it. We’re gonna make something special happen this year.”

KU volleyball trips Tech, stretches streak to 16 J-W Staff Reports

Lubbock, Texas — Kansas University’s volleyball team remained perfect Wednesday night.

The 10th-ranked Jayhawks swept Texas Tech, 25-21, 25-14, 25-20, at United Supermarkets Arena to raise their record to 16-0 overall and 4-0 in Big 12 play.

Sophomore Kelsie Payne led the Jayhawks with 17 kills on a .483 hitting percentage. Sophomore Ainise Havili totaled 41 assists, and KU

guy who can go get them 20 (points) every night.’

Now we’re hoping that somebody proves to be that player, but based on the past, I don’t think that would be the case.”

Aldridge, at 8.1 points per game, ranks first among KU’s returning players, followed by Cheadle, who contributed 5.8 for KU in 201415, under previous coach Bonnie Henrickson. Then there is junior guard Timeka O’Neal (3.0 in one appearance, before tearing her right anterior cruciate ligament), Manning-Allen (2.3), Brown (2.1) and sophomore for-

kids and be part of one of the most historic programs in college basketball,” Townsend said.

Townsend, who was instrumental in the recruitment of Andrew Wiggins, Ben McLemore, Brandon Rush, Julian Wright, Sherron Collins and Darrell Arthur, knew he’d love working in Allen Fieldhouse following a trip here with CalBerkeley in 1993.

“We had Jason Kidd and Lamond Murray ... we had a nice team and they gave it to us (7356). I walked out of Allen Fieldhouse and said, ‘Gosh that place is special,’’’ Townsend said. “I did love the basketball here and knew working for a person like coach Self would be incredible.”

The fieldhouse atmosphere hasn’t disappointed.

“You get chills from the respect the fans have for the game of basketball here,” said Townsend, who enjoys chatting with others about their experi-

ward Lorraine Enabulele (0.2). That’s 21.5 points of returning offense, with an asterisk that 3.0 of those comes from a very small sample size.

For Schneider, who went out of his way to say he is not inheriting a program in a mess, there at least is a flip-side to that monstrous question mark. Without a wealth of ball-dominant incumbents, newcomers should be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel in the form of attainable playing time. The coach hopes that will cultivate competitive practices, and thereby progress.

“We have freshmen that are gonna compete,” Schneider said. “Whether it’s for starting roles or significant playing time.”

Kansas has six rookies in the running: 6-foot3 center Chelsea Lott, 5-7 guard Aisia Robertson, 5-8 guard Jayde Christopher, 5-10 guard Kylee Kopatich, 6-1 guard Kelea Dennis and 6-2 forward Tyler Johnson. Plus, junior Sydney Benoit, a 5-10 guard who transferred from Hutchinson Community College, joins the program. Transfers McKenzie Calvert (USC) and Jessica Washington (North Carolina) can’t suit up until 2016-17.

Aldridge, who averaged 5.0 assists per game as a freshman, admitted she has no idea who will emerge as KU’s leading scorer in the coming months, but she thinks Schneider’s four-out,

one-in system should make things interesting.

“We might have Chayla go for 21 one game, we might have Caelynn go for 15 another,” the point guard said. “It’s just a really open offense, which I think is good for everybody on this team.”

Brown, whom Schneider wants playing more outside than she did in the past, said the new coach’s run-oriented offense was like “hot and cold” compared to last season.

“Everything is so high uptempo, and it’s a high standard set,” the 6-0 forward said. “And you’re gonna make that standard. There’s no way around that.”

The Jayhawks’ first exhibition is Nov. 1, at 2 p.m., against Pittsburg State.

ences in KU’s traditionrich building.

“I talk to kids who played here a lot. Kevin Durant says what a thrill it was to play in there. I wish I could have played here. That would have been cool,” the 1982 WKU grad added. “But I get the next best thing, to work with the players and the staff here — people I consider family.”

Townsend likes KU so much he’s been selective in considering head coaching offers. There have been opportunities to move on.

“I’ve talked to coaches who left here who say there are a lot of places you go where it isn’t as good being a head coach there as it is being an assistant here,” Townsend said. “I think there’s a lot to be said about that.

I will not take a bad job now. The winning and what we have going here is incredible.”

It’s not just landing key recruits and an NCAA title ring in 2008 that has made his stint at KU worthwhile.

SCOREBOARD

NL WILD CARD

Arrieta awes in Cubs win over Pirates Pittsburgh (ap) — These Chicago Cubs are supposed to be too young to be here. Or maybe they’re just too good to care.

Jake Arrieta allowed four hits in nine dominant innings and the Cubs rolled to a 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL wild-card game on Wednesday night.

Arrieta struck out 11 without a walk. He also dusted himself off getting plunked by Pittsburgh reliever Tony Watson to send the Cubs to the NL Division Series in St. Louis starting on Friday.

“I’m exhausted.

I haven’t felt this way all year,” Arrieta said. “This atmosphere, the energy was unbelievable. Tried to use it to the best of my ability. They were loud, they were really loud.”

Dexter Fowler homered and scored three times for the Cubs. Kyle Schwarber added a towering two-run shot off Pittsburgh starter Gerrit Cole as Chicago raced to an early lead and let Arrieta do the rest.

The largest crowd ever at PNC Park failed to rattle Arrieta or one of baseball’s youngest teams.

First-year manager Joe Maddon’s club played with swagger and confidence and looked right at home while snapping a nine-game playoff losing streak that dated to the 2003 NL Championship Series.

“It’s tremendous for the city. It’s been a while,” Arrieta said. “Chicago’s been waiting for this, but it’s only step one.”

Pittsburgh was knocked out after finishing second in the majors with 98 victories this year. Last season, the Pirates also were shut out on four hits at home in the wild-card game, losing to San Francisco.

The bearded, 29-yearold Arrieta, still unbeaten since July 25, stretched his remarkable second half — in which he posted an 0.75 ERA — into the opening round of the playoffs. He threw the first complete-game shutout for the Cubs in the postseason since Claude Passeau tossed a onehitter in the 1945 World Series against Detroit.

Arrieta, who led the majors with 22 wins, even laughed off a weird sequence in the seventh when Watson’s fastball hit him in his left side.

The benches and bullpens cleared when Watson was issued a warning, leading to little more than a few heated exchanges along the first base line.

“I hit two guys, unintentionally. I’m not trying to hurt or hit anybody,”

of combining an extreme tempo with their philosophy of running the ball,” Kansas defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said. “A lot of teams get in the spread and it’s just throw, throw, throw.

In reality, they’re more than 60 percent running plays. It really does put you in a tempo conflict, a run-pass conflict. And they’re fortunate now to have personnel that truly is difference maker at wide receiver and really at every position they’re extremely talented.”

Arrieta said. “Balls were slick tonight. I just lost it a couple of times, it kind of ran away from me.”

“I expected that.

They’re going to take care of their own guys. It’s understandable. Everything after that was fine,” the righty said.

Pirates utility player Sean Rodriguez, who’d already been pulled, was ejected and proceeded to give an unsuspecting water cooler a series of onetwo combinations, eventually sending it tumbling to the ground.

Pittsburgh had no such luck against Arrieta, with manager Clint Hurdle seemingly flummoxed on how to get to attack a right-hander who has matured from raw project into overpowering force.

But Beaty moved on to Texas A&M, Weis hired Rob Ianello to coach KU’s receivers and Russell took advantage of the opportunity to follow Robert Griffin III, Nick Florence and Bryce Petty at Baylor.

Just because that decision worked out so splendidly for the 6-foot3, 220-pound junior QB does not mean that he didn’t think about Kansas a time or two while he waited his turn at Baylor.

“Maybe in the first couple of seasons I may have thought about that,” Russell said. “But as I continued to grow as a player, I was humbled by the situation that I was in, being around guys like Nick Florence, Bryce Petty, I got to talk to Robert a little bit. It was awesome to be able to watch those guys and how they led on the field and off the field.”

Russell has not just followed in their footsteps.

His four-game stretch to open the 2015 season statistically is more impressive than the one any of the other three put up during their days in green and gold.

Only Petty, in 2013, was able to get Baylor off to a 4-0 start. And although he threw for 67 more yards and had a higher completion percentage during the first four games that season, Russell’s 19 TDs nearly double up Petty’s number, and he has outrushed him roughly 3-to-1.

In fact, other than a slightly lower completion percentage, Russell’s 2015 numbers — 1,281 yards, 19 TDs, 172 rushing yards and three TDs — most closely resemble those thrown up by Griffin’s 3-1 start in 2010, when RGIII started with 1,308 yards and 18 touchdowns and added 173 yards and three TDs on the ground.

“We’ve had good quar-

terbacks going all the way back to when I was at (Houston),” Baylor coach Art Briles said. “Guys like to come play in this offense, and they’ve seen other guys in front of them have success.”

Now Russell is the one having success. And he hopes to keep it rolling Saturday against the team and coach with which he once nearly joined forces a few years back.

Despite his past connection to Beaty and Kansas, Russell said this week’s game held no special significance.

“Not really,” he said.

“It’s another football game. It doesn’t matter if you’re playing against your home high school team or somebody you were committed to. It’s an opponent. And I have to look at it as that and I’m gonna go out there and play just as hard against Kansas as I would in the national championship game.”

AMERICAN LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES

Royals, Astros have much in common Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — When the Houston Astros had recorded the final out in Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night, they flooded onto the field in a wild celGAME 1 ebration, all their Who: Houston vs. Kan- years of losing fisas City nally a When: 6:37 memory. p.m. today I t Where: looked Kauffman a whole Stadium lot like the scene TV: FS1 in Kan(WOW! sas City a channels year ago.

150, 227) N o w , the long-suffering Astros will try to accomplish what the once-beleaguered Royals did by building on their wildcard victory over the Yankees. They visit Kansas City to begin a best-

of-five AL Division Series against the Royals tonight at Kauffman Stadium.

“It kind of reminds us of us last year,” Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas said after a light workout Wednesday afternoon, “young and hungry and out there trying to prove to everybody that we deserve to be here.”

The Royals certainly accomplished that 12 months ago.

After ending a 29-year postseason drought, the plucky bunch of youngsters swept all the way to the World Series, where they fell in seven games to the San Francisco Giants. But it was the Royals’ dramatic, extrainning victory over the Oakland Athletics in their AL wild-card game that instilled in them a belief that they could play with anybody in baseball.

Much like Tues-

day night in the Bronx seemed to galvanize the young Astros.

They clowned around before the first pitch, then took care of New York when it was time to get serious, before resuming their playful antics with a rousing 30-minute postgame party.

“You know, we did it in a little more dramatic fashion than they did,” Royals manager Ned Yost said of the wild-card win, “but they played a very solid game, took advantage of mistakes, excellent pitching and defense.

Both teams play with a lot of passion and energy.”

In other words, both teams have a whole lot of fun.

“I don’t know if anybody else picked up on that, just as a fan watching what they were doing last year,” said the Astros’ Collin McHugh, who will

start Game 1. “You can tell they have a fun clubhouse. I think that’s probably the closest similarity I can see with our team.”

There are others, though. Both endured long periods of ineptitude, underscored by 100-loss seasons. Both were painstakingly built through the draft. Both clubs put a premium on speed and defense. And both have formidable bullpens and stout rotations, with the Royals sending out hard-throwing Yordano Ventura to face McHugh in the series opener.

The similarities are hardly lost on Astros manager A.J. Hinch, who played for the Royals in the early 2000s, when the organization was in the depths of despair.

“I think both teams sense the opportunity might be there to make

a run in October,” Hinch said. “Certainly, they’ve been a year or two ahead of us in this, I guess, move to the middle of relevant baseball with their run last year. But both really good clubs.”

Really young clubs, too. The average age of Houston for its wild-card game was 28 years, 343 days. The Royals were an average of 29 years, 51 days on Game 1 of last year’s World Series.

“They’re a young, energetic team, as we are too,” said Royals outfielder Alex Rios, who is in the postseason for the first time after 1,691 games. “But they’re also a team that has a lot of talent, so we have to go out there and play the same game we’ve been playing all season.”

The Astros and Royals are not mirror images of each other. Houston pounds home runs at the

expense of strikeouts, while the Royals play to contact and grind out runs. The Astros greedily accepts walks while Kansas City swings away, regardless of the count.

Then there is the difference in their ballparks.

Kauffman Stadium is cavernous, the kind of place where home runs anywhere else turn into routine fly balls. Minute Maid Park is a bandbox where pop flies often carry the wall.

Oh, and there’s one more difference: The Royals played in the World Series a year ago. It may not be much of an edge in postseason experience, but it’s at least something.

“We had a good run last year, but that was last year,” Moustakas said.

“This is a new season now, the best team is going to win. We have to find a way to beat that club.”

Matchups

That was the final game between the teams this season. ... The only Royals starters expected to get the ball against Houston who pitched in the six previous games this season are Ventura and Volquez. ... Keuchel went 1-1

against the Royals this year.

McCullers and Kazmir also picked up wins against Kansas City.

Big Picture

Astros: Houston (86-76) made the playoffs for the first time since reaching the World Series in 2005, getting in as the second AL wild card on the last day of the season. ... Under first-year manager A.J. Hinch, the Astros made a 16-win improvement from last year’s 70-92 record that came after three straight 100-loss seasons. ... Houston led the AL West for most of the year before late-season struggles allowed the Rangers to take the division title. ...

Keuchel was the AL’s only 20-game winner and the first Houston pitcher to reach the mark since Roy Oswalt in

2005. Keuchel then tossed three-hit ball for six innings at Yankee Stadium on three days’ rest to lead the Astros to a 3-0 win in the wild-card game. ... Houston’s pitching staff posted an AL-best 3.57 ERA. ... The Astros struggled on the road, going 33-48. ...

Correa, the top pick in the 2012 draft, set a franchise record for home runs by a rookie despite not being called up until June 8.

Royals: Defending AL champions went 11-17 in September before holding off the Blue Jays for home-field advantage throughout the postseason. ... Won the AL Central by 12 games over Minnesota for first division title since taking AL West in 1985 . ... Enter playoffs without closer Greg Holland, who recently had Tommy John surgery.
