Kansas voter surprised by felony charge ——

Kobach prosecutes Republican, 64, who cast ballot in Colorado Associated Press

Wichita — One of three people charged with voter fraud by Kansas’ secretary of state acknowledged voting in two states where he lives, but said he didn’t think he was COURTS doing anything wrong.

Lincoln L. Wilson, who faces three felony counts, was registered both in Goodland in northwest Kansas’ Sherman County and in Hale, Colo. Records indicate the 64-year-old Republican voted in both states in the same elections in 2010, 2012 and 2014.

Wilson said he lives part-time in Sherman County and part-time in Yuma County, Colo., which borders Kansas. He said he owns several real estate properties in each state and believed he was restricted to voting in only one county in each of those states.

aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration.

Attorneys for the plaintiffs had asked for nearly double the amount awarded, but the judge reduced the award to account for time and expenses related to additional claims the plaintiffs did not win in court.

The city had asked the court for special consideration, arguing that it was in dire financial straits and on the verge of bankruptcy. But the court declined to give any.

“The court is sympathetic to the defendant’s financial condition,” Judge James Munley wrote. “Congress, however, did not include language in (the law allowing plaintiffs to recover attorney fees in civil rights cases) to suggest that courts consider a municipality’s financial condition and budgetary concerns when fashion-

ing an attorney’s fee award.”

“Municipalities, regardless of their financial health, have no discretion to enact improper laws,” he wrote.

The ordinance, which Kobach helped draft, penalized businesses that hired undocumented immigrants and landlords who leased houses and apartments to them.

Kobach also represented the city as an attorney during trial of the case.

In 2008, the court struck down those laws, saying the city “overstepped its authority and entered an area of immigration preempted by federal law.” An appellate court upheld that ruling, but the U.S. Supreme Court sent the case back for reconsideration.

The appeals court reaffirmed its decision, and in 2014 the Supreme Court declined to hear further arguments in the matter.

Kobach also helped draft that ordinance and represented that city in court.

Plaintiffs in the Fremont case, however, had challenged that ordinance for being in conflict with the federal Fair Housing Act. The Hazleton plaintiffs challenged on the basis of federal preemption in immigration law.

In an interview with the Journal-World that year, Kobach said he had won more cases than he’d lost in the immigration arena, adding: “I’ll take a winning record.”

Housing Authority funding request approved

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

The Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority soon will start issuing more housing vouchers to homeless families living in the Lawrence Community Shelter after Douglas County commissioners approved the organization’s request for $50,000 on Wednesday.

The program, which will provide transitional housing assistance for homeless families, closely resembles a federallyfunded program already in place in Douglas County, said Shannon Oury, Housing Authority executive director. The end goal is to help struggling families get back on their feet.

This year, the federal transitional housing program received just over $174,000, nearly half the $300,000 the program received in 2011 and 2010, Oury said. That decrease has precipitated the need for the new, locally-funded program.

“Our funding has been decreasing, which means we’ve been helping fewer families, which means you have families at the shelter long and families at Family Promise trying to figure out something do to,” she said. “They’re waiting on our list sometimes more than a year to get funding.”

here is a highly disturbing video on the KU Lawrence Campus Alerts website. It’s called, “RUN. HIDE. FIGHT. Surviving an Active Shooter Event.”

When I say disturbing, I don’t mean it’s disturbing that Kansas University put it on the website. What’s disturbing is that it needs to be on the website.

“

We’ve always been trained on what to do when the fire alarm goes off since we were little. In the times we are in now, it’s unfortunate we have to prepare for these type of incidents as well.”

— Capt. James Anguiano, KU Office of Public Safety film states (with ominous piano music in the background): “Sometimes bad people do bad things. Their motivations are different, the warning signs may

vary, but the devastating effects are the same.

And unfortunately you need to be prepared for the worst.”

Topeka — The city of Topeka has agreed to pay a $10,000 civil penalty as part of a consent agreement with state environmental regulators for spilling 3 million gallons of raw sewage into the Kansas River in April.

It has also agreed to make sure downstream water users, including the city of Lawrence, are notified within 24 hours if similar incidents happen in the future.

But Bob Sample, Topeka’s Water Pollution Control Director, would not comment on why it took Topeka officials nearly three days to notify the city of Lawrence, which uses the Kansas River as one of its public water supply sources.

“It’s one of those things that we’ve taken lots of corrections since that happened,” Sample said during a news conference Wednesday. “I actually went down and met with Lawrence and their staff, and that’s one of those corrections that we’ve put into place.”

We will pay the fine and move on from this incident.”

The spill began around 1 p.m. on a Friday, April 24, and lasted through Sunday, the 26th. During that time, approximately 3 million gallons of raw sewage spilled into the river.

Topeka officials said it was caused by a power failure, coupled with a failure in an “Uninterruptable Power Supply,” a kind of battery backup system. That, in turn, caused the failure of a computer system that communicates with the pump stations and allows for remote monitoring.

As a result, the spillage went undetected through the weekend. Neither the Kansas Department of Health and Environment nor the city of Lawrence were notified of it until

has in place now:

Monday, April 27.

Lawrence officials said at the time that the city’s normal water treatment process would have prevented contamination from getting into the city’s tap water. As a precaution, though, the city suspended taking water from the river and switched to its other intake system at Clinton Lake.

“We will pay the fine and move on from this incident,” said Doug Gerber, Topeka’s deputy city manager.

Gerber noted that while Topeka has agreed to make prompt notifica-

tion whenever it spills sewage into the river, the same is not true for other cities upstream from Topeka, which also discharge wastewater into the river. Traditionally, he said, notifications were made as a matter of courtesy, not a regulatory requirement.

In addition to the fine and notification requirement, the consent agreement also calls on Topeka to: l Repair and upgrade its monitoring system and backup power controls at the pump stations. l Test those systems at all wastewater treatment works authorized by the city’s permit. l Conduct monthly testing of all secondary and backup systems for 12 months.

Housing CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

In the transitional housing program, families pay what they can of rent and utility bills while Housing Authority pays the difference directly to the landlords and utility providers for two years. During those two years, families must enroll in mandatory “wraparound” services offered throughout the community to help them become more self-sufficient.

Wraparound services are offered through area organizations such as Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, Willow Domestic Violence Center and Independence Inc., among others.

A family friend said she plans to start a GoFundMe page or a fund at the Douglas County Bank to help the family pay for Inscho’s funeral expenses.

His mother, Merridee Helm-Summerville, is a resident of Lawrence. She could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Sedgwick County asks for WIC block Wichita — One of the state’s biggest counties has asked Kansas health officials to block people living in the country illegally from receiving benefits under the federal nutrition program Woman, Infants and Children.

The Wichita Eagle reports three of the five Sedgwick County commissioners supported a letter chairman Richard Ranzau sent to the secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment last week seeking the change.

The WIC program issues checks to low-income families for foods like milk, eggs, cereal, cheese and baby formula. Ranzau wrote that the majority of commissioners are “very concerned that the WIC program provides benefits to persons who are not citizens.”

Regents give KU $88M

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

The Kansas Board of Regents on Wednesday adopted resolutions to issue revenue bonds for three major construction projects at Kansas University.

Proceeds from the bonds will be used to fund portions of KU’s new Earth, Energy and Environment Center on the KU Lawrence campus and the new Health Education Building and a parking garage on the KU Medical Center campus in Kansas City, Kan., according to board documents.

Construction is just underway on the Earth, Energy and Environment Center, or EEEC. The 130,000-square-foot building is being built adjacent to Lindley Hall and is scheduled for completion in August 2017.

The total project cost for the EEEC is $78.5 million, funded with $41 million in private gifts, $12.5 million in university funds and $25 million in

bond proceeds, according to a Regents report. The board’s resolution authorized issuance of up to $25 million in Kansas Development Finance Authority Revenue Bonds.

KU Medical Center ceremonially broke ground in August on its $75 million Health Education Building, planned to be the interactive main teaching facility for the schools of Medicine, Nursing and Health Professions.

The $39.6 million, 2,160-space parking facility is planned to be between 37th and 38th avenues and Cambridge and Eaton streets, according to a Regents report. Construction will begin in March 2016 and finish by July 2017.

Wednesday’s Regents resolution authorized issuance of up to $24 million in Kansas Development Finance Authority Revenue Bonds for the Health Education Building and $39.6 million for the parking garage.

Instead of their usual Topeka meeting cham-

bers, the Regents held Wednesday’s board meeting at Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg.

Board of Regents spokeswoman Breeze Richardson confirmed the board approved all three bond resolutions and raised no concerns.

In other KU-related action, the board: l Approved a master of science degree and a doctorate degree in cancer biology at the KU School of Medicine.

There are very few cancer biology programs in the country, according to a board report on the new degrees. “More research is required in order to make inroads necessary to more effectively treat this family of diseases. Therefore, training a workforce capable of integrating knowledge from multiple specialized disciplines with insights discovered within their own laboratories will be essential.”

Parents of LGBT students to meet today

T

here will be an informal meeting for parents of LGBT students in the Lawrence school district this evening with the goal of forming a support group of local parents.

Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll and Sonja Feist, president of the Lawrence/Topeka chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, will also be in attendance at today’s meeting.

One of the Lawrence school board’s 2015-2016 goals, which were finalized last month, is to investigate issues related to LGBT students and implement supports. The goals are generated by asking teachers, staff and administration what issues to focus on, and

the discussion started that LGBT students are a group that the district needs to be more concerned about, Doll said in September.

Doll will be at the meeting as part of the work on the school board goal, said district spokesperson Julie Boyle. Doll said in September that district officials would like to learn more about what it means

be an LGBT student in the Lawrence schools.

The investigation into LGBT student issues is one of the action steps of a larger initiative to develop district curriculum to raise the achievement of all students. Doll is in charge of the LGBT action step along with two other district administrators: Jose Cornejo, mental health facilitator, and Kevin Harrell, director of student services.

Trail between parks to be paved

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Lawrence city commissioners unanimously decided Tuesday to move forward the project to pave a trail along the Kansas River between Burcham and Constant parks.

The $186,600 project, which had already gone through multiple levels of City Commission approval, was brought back before the commission after

citizens cited concerns with riverbank erosion.

A few people who live near the river spoke Tuesday, asking commissioners to halt the project and do more research on how the trail may be damaged in the future.

Commissioners decided not to take any action and go ahead with the project as planned, saying it was an important step for disability access and in establishing a larger loop of trails that is

planned to someday circle much of the city.

Commissioner Lisa Larsen, who used to own an environmental consulting firm, noted she was satisfied with the Parks and Recreation Department’s plan to maintain the area, including planting trees and installing stabilizing material.

ID channel is perfectly dreadful The ID network appears to have carved out a perfect niche: perfectly banal, perfectly dreadful and perfectly addictive. Nearly every offering on the Investigation Discovery network, once known as “Discovery Civilization” and then as the culture-oriented “Discovery Times,” is now aimed at viewers who crave nonfiction tales of terror, the kind of women-in-peril stories that used to inspire Lifetime movies.

Blending home video footage and gauzy reenactment scenes, most of these ID offerings are cheap and dirty pleasures. They seem to prove that viewers will watch just about anything, about anyone. Other networks can spend a fortune on actors and production values. Let “Dateline” and “48 Hours” pay for access, interviews and footage; ID viewers just want a steaming all-you-can-eat buffet of lurid cheese!

ID also shows how little celebrity or notoriety matters.

Many of the stories on shows like “Surviving Evil” (8 p.m.) and “Evil Twins” (9 p.m.) involve nobodies from nowhere whom no one ever heard about.

If they were ripped from the headlines, they were very local stories. In both form and content, these offerings prove that anybody and everybody are only a few steps away from becoming tabloid fodder.

This was a point that film director and humorist John Waters made in “Why I Love the National Enquirer,” an essay he wrote more than 30 years ago. After extolling the pleasures of reading a checkout counter tabloid devoted to the private agonies of public figures, Waters encouraged readers to discover the trashy potential of friends, neighbors and family members. The ID network takes this theme and runs with it, suggesting that murder and mayhem may be closer than we care to admit.

For what it’s worth, tonight may be your last chance to catch “The Player” (9 p.m., NBC).

Philip Winchester (“Strike Back”) stars as Alex Kane, a one-man anti-terror, anti-crime task force bamboozled into participating in a high-stakes game concocted for the super-rich (and ultra-bored). A pointless and frequently charmless thriller plagued by terrible reviews and toxic ratings, “The Player” is on TV’s endangered list.

Tonight’s other highlights

fice on “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox).

Owen wants interns to prepare families for the worst on “Grey’s Anatomy” (7 p.m., ABC).

Software glitch It’s past time for the Kansas Legislature to make sure its expensive bill-processing software is doing its intended job.

M

embers of the Kansas Legislature understandably are starting to wonder whether the state is getting its money’s worth on a contract to develop and maintain a new computer software package.

In the last 10 years, the state of Kansas has spent $15.8 million to purchase and maintain computer software that was supposed to streamline the process for writing and revising legislation and sharing up-to-date information to the public on the Legislature’s website.

Propylon, an Irish company that established a U.S. office in west Lawrence in 2010, began working on the software in 2005 and launched it in 2011.

Since that time, the programs have been plagued by glitches. The Office of Revisor of Statutes identified a number of problems, including the fact that language sometimes just disappears from a bill while staff attorneys are working on it. The Legislative Research Department says the software doesn’t always analyze data accurately, making it difficult to provide basic information such as the estimated fiscal impact of legislation.

The situation came to a head at the close of this year’s legislative session, when key votes had to be delayed because accurately updated bills weren’t available to legislators. A special legislative committee subsequently was formed to review the state’s contract with Propylon before making any additional payments to the firm.

That is a prudent move, especially considering a Wichita news report about a lawsuit filed by the Oregon Legislative Assembly after bill-drafting software developed by Propylon fell short of expectations. Oregon reached that conclusion after paying almost $2.25 million to the firm. It sought $3 million in damages, but settled for $600,000.

Misery loves company, but Kansas has invested far more than Oregon and still doesn’t have an acceptable system.

In an email to the Wichita Eagle, Propylon’s CEO John Harrington rejected the idea that the company hadn’t met its obligations to Oregon or that the lawsuit had any impact on the Kansas situation. He also indicated that Propylon had met all its contractual commitments to Kansas and is working to address problems raised by state staff members.

Especially because Propylon is part of the Lawrence business community, we hope that the company and the state are able to resolve this situation and get the software system back on track.

Nonetheless, legislative leaders are right to hold the company to account.

So far, the state and its taxpayers aren’t getting what they paid for.

Official reports deserve skepticism One day in April of 1880, a cadet named Johnson Whittaker was found unconscious in his room at West Point.

Whittaker, who was African American, had been gagged and beaten, tied to his bed and slashed on the face and hands. He said three white cadets had assaulted him. West Point investigated. Its official conclusion was that Whittaker did these things to himself.

He didn’t, should that need saying, but I offer the story by way of framing a reply to some readers. They wanted my response to news that outside investigators have concluded a Cleveland police officer acted responsibly last year when he shot and killed Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old black kid who had been playing with a toy gun. Specifically, the local DA released two separate reports Saturday from two experts on police use of force. Both said Officer Timothy Loehmann’s decision to open fire on the boy was reasonable.

As one reader put it: “What say you???”

I say a few things, actually. In the first place, I say this is not an exoneration.

That question is still up to the grand jury, though it’s fair to suspect these reports might be a means of prepar-

What can I say?

A lifetime of colorcoded, thumb-onthe-scale American ‘justice’ has left me little option but to sift and fend for myself where ‘official’ findings are concerned.”

ing the ground for a similar finding from that panel.

In the second place, I say these reports sought to answer a relatively narrow question: Was Loehmann justified in shooting once the police car had skidded to a stop within a few feet of the boy? They left aside the larger question of the tactical wisdom of pulling up so close to someone you believed to be armed and dangerous in the first place.

And in the third place, I

say this: Forgive me if I am not impressed by an official report. The experience of being African American has taught me to be skeptical of official reports. As an official matter, after all, Johnson Whittaker beat, bound, gagged and slashed himself. As an official matter, no one knows who lynched thousands of black men and women in the Jim Crow era, even though the perpetrators took pictures with their handiwork. As an official matter, the officers who nearly killed Rodney King while he crawled on the ground committed no crime.

As an official matter, George Zimmerman is innocent of murder. For that matter, O.J. Simpson is, too.

I am all too aware of the moral and cognitive trapdoor you dance upon when you give yourself permission to pick and choose which “official” findings to believe. And yes, you’re right: I’d be much less skeptical of officialdom had these reports condemned Officer Loehmann.

What can I say? A lifetime of color-coded, thumb-onthe-scale American “justice” has left me little option but to sift and fend for myself where “official” findings are concerned. Indeed, the only

reason I was willing to give credence to a report exonerating Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of Michael Brown is that it came from Eric Holder’s Justice Department, i.e., a Justice Department that gave at least the impression of caring about the civil rights of black people.

Sadly, most prosecutors don’t give that impression.

And that failure colors these findings irrevocably.

Last November, two police officers responded to a call of someone brandishing a gun in a park. Rather than position themselves at a safe distance and try to establish contact, as would have seemed prudent, they screeched onto the scene like Batman and came out shooting. Tamir Rice, a boy who had been playing with a toy firearm, lay dying for four long minutes without either officer offering first aid.

When his 14-year-old sister ran up and tried to help her little brother, they shoved her down and handcuffed her.

And I’m supposed to believe they acted reasonably because an official report says they did?

Sorry, but it’s going to take a h—l of a lot more than that.

Another experiment To the editor: The good government of the state of Kansas tried a “real live experiment” on its citizens. By reducing the income tax of the wealthier segment of the population, Gov. Brownback hoped for a Laffer effect to take place after some (hypothetical) “adrenaline shot” to the economy.

So far, the experiment has failed, and the cost of the failure, up to now, consists of reduced budgets to the arts, health and education and threats of furloughs. Deficits were partially covered by tapping capital from the Kansas Department of Transportation. Goes without saying that the costs of the failure are not being paid by those that conceived the “experiment” or benefitted from it.

Now a second social experiment is being tried on us. Carrying concealed weapons (without even the need to pass tests) is now legal in the state, and, soon, places like our universities will cease to be exempt of complying with this law.

Now, failure of the “real live experiment” on taxation has produced misery, discomfort and unemployment, but let us not fool ourselves: A failure of the “weapons experiment” could be paid in human lives. I believe that most students, academics and staff would prefer to have our universities (and churches, and hospitals, and schools) free of the presence of concealed weapons, rather than the opposite, and if this is the case, we must express our opinion and find a way to keep a safe environment without the presence of firearms at the university.

Jorge Soberon, Lawrence

Kobach misleading To the editor: The Journal-World story regarding Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s visit to Kansas University was not entirely accurate.

Kobach did not simply dismiss the criticisms and questions raised by audience members.

He often offered misleading or dissembling answers, cast aspersions on well-known research and selectively responded to critical

points with anecdotal evidence that failed to address the questions at hand.

In short, it was an extended exercise in misdirection and avoidance of key issues that the forum was intended to address, particularly the legacy of the Voting Rights Act. John Rury, Lawrence

Football alternatives To the editor: Many commentators have pointed out the pernicious effects that college sports have had upon the modern university. One of the most insidious was inadvertently described by your editor in his latest grumble (“Team not to blame for KU’s dismal football status,” Journal-World, Oct. 10). He writes that KU’s football team has become “an embarrassment” which does “not reflect the standard of excellence that KU alumni and friends expect from their school.” According to your editor’s logic, we now measure the strength of KU by its sports program. To conflate the value of a university with its ability to clobber opponents on the gridiron is a sad testimony and it may be time for a radical change.

Instead of dumping millions more into this increasingly dangerous sport, why not just admit defeat and cancel the football program? I’m certain KU administrators can come up with a half-dozen wholesome activities to fill those Saturday afternoons. For those students and alums who need to have an excuse to tailgate and party, the university could host a flag football game in Memorial Stadium between students and faculty. Or better yet, host a city-wide Red Dog event to encourage spectators to participate in outdoor activities.

Collegiate sports were initially designed as a healthy way to have fun and express school spirit. They were never intended to become the chief brand or attribute of a university. KU students, faculty and alum should not be embarrassed by their losing football team, but rather by their dull complacency or mindless concern over having a “winning team.”

Ray Finch, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 15, 1915: “Women years students at the ago University of IN 1915 Kansas will have an opportunity to vote to lengthen the duration of their ‘dates,’ following a meeting of the Women’s Student Government Association last night. The women’s council voted to change the limit of the date period from 10:30 to 11 o’clock on Friday and Saturday nights, and to 10 o’clock on Sunday nights. The reason given for the change of the time on Friday and Saturday night was that the greater number of the ‘dates’ are to the movie theatre shows, and it is not possible for the students to see the last show and return to the young women’s rooming houses by 10 o’clock.”

“Six hundred yards of dirt to be taken from the alley between the post office and the Bowersock buildings will be used to build up the north side of Sixth street on either side of the end of Kentucky where it abuts the north end of Central park. The fill will be made from the street curbing on the north side of Sixth for a distance of about two hundred fifty feet. At the present there is no parking, but instead a declivity from the curbing down into the ravine.

The fill will afford a parking, and beyond that a support for a sidewalk, making the sidewalk line continuous from the Santa Fe switch tracks westward to the intersection of Sixth and Tennessee.”

“The Heim electric line expects to have steel laid to Lawrence just a month from today.

The work of grading the roadbed in advance of the tracklayers has now progressed as far as the eastern outskirts of North Lawrence. A greatly increased force was lately put to work on the grading gang following Mr. Heim’s announcement a few weeks ago that he wanted 100 additional men.”

KU has not decided where the center’s physical offices will be, Monaco said. He said several options are being considered.

Forcible sex offenses reported at KU nearly doubled from 2013 to 2014, according to KU’s most recent Clery report. University officials have attributed the spike in reported offenses to increased awareness, as the White House and colleges nationwide have made the issue of addressing sexual violence a priority in recent years.

According to KU, the creation of the new center is in direct response to one of 27 recommendations arrived on last spring by KU’s Sexual Assault Task Force.

At the time, task force leaders called it the most important of all the recommendations, because a central office was needed to implement and oversee other recommendations, as well as existing campus efforts.

Task force members also said such an office should be standalone and neutral, not within a certain gender studies department, for example, or the office that investigates sexual misconduct.

said. He said KU is not receiving any new funding for the center but rather will identify money from existing sources.

The center will be in addition to KU’s Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, which investigates reports of sexual violence (and other forms of discrimination on campus) and recommends disciplinary action when a student is found responsible for sexual misconduct.

The Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, created in 2012, has led KU’s educational programming and sexual violence climate surveys. Other KU units, including the Office of Public Safety, Office of the Vice Provost for Student Affairs and Watkins Health Services, also have done educational programming.

The new center will shift education and prevention away from them, allowing those units to focus on their “core functions,” according to KU. “While the university already provides strong sexual assault prevention and

education programming, we recognize our programs could be improved if they were better coordinated and centralized under one roof,” Jane Tuttle, assistant vice provost for student affairs, said in the news release. “The new Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center will serve as that central unit. The result will be a better, more coherent sexual assault prevention and education effort that benefits the KU community.”

Here’s how the new center will be organized, according to KU: l Tuttle will oversee the center. l It will start with one position, a director. KU expects to open a search for that position within the next few days. l Two educators and an administrative assistant will be hired later. The first educator will focus on men’s issues and bystander empowerment, and the second — expected to be hired in early 2016 — will focus on sexual violence and healthy relationships. l The new center also will recruit and train students to be peer educators, envisioned to “enhance” how the university community learns about prevention.

BIGGEST LOSERS

Matt Krantz USA TODAY

The Waltons had a bad — and expensive — day.

Retailing giant Walmart stunned investors Wednesday when it gave disappointing guidance for growth and profit, sending its stock down 10% to $60.03.

The stock drop, which was the biggest in decades, instantly wiped out more than $21 billion in shareholder wealth.

That drop was

bad for anyone who owns shares of Walmart. But it was especially painful for the company’s top 10 shareholders, who collectively own two-thirds of Walmart’s outstanding stock, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. The top 10 saw $14.7 billion in wealth vanish Wednesday.

Amazon is eating Walmart’s lunch

The dive in Walmart shares hurt some of the wealthiest people in America including Walton family members Alice, Jim, John and S. Robson. Famed investor Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway also is a huge owner of Walmart stock. All were on the front line for one of the biggest implosions of a blue-chip stock in recent years.

Walton Enterprises, an investment vehicle controlled by several members of the Walmart family, suffered the biggest hit.

This investment vehicle owns 1.4 billion shares of Walmart, or 44% of the total shares outstanding, S&P Capital IQ says. Its holdings took a $9.5 billion hit.

When you include the holdings of other Walton family-controlled entities, such as the 197 million shares owned by S. Robson Walton and 194 million held in the Walton family name, the day’s loss jumps to more than $12 billion.

Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway owns 60.4 million shares of Walmart and lost nearly $405 million.

Don’t think it’s just a “rich person’s problem,” either. Walmart’s drop hit many individual investors close to home.

Index fund behemoth Vanguard is the fourth-largest owner of Walmart stock because Walmart’s huge market value makes it a key holding in many index funds, which are widely held by individual investors.

Vanguard’s 98.6 million shares brought home a $660 million daily loss directly to Vanguard investors.

The pain of owning a big chunk of a single stock became painfully clear again Wednesday — especially if your last name is Walton.

Friends, teammates, Kardashian hold out hope for Odom TERRY BYRNE AND PAUL TRAP, USA TODAY

Ex-NBA player fights for life in Las Vegas Sam Amick and Jeff Zillgitt @sam_amick, @JeffZillgitt USA TODAY Sports

Through the negative headlines about DUIs and drug problems and the daily chronicling of his now-broken marriage with reality TV star Khloe Kardashian, Lamar Odom still inspired an affection from pro basketball players, friends and fans.

And now as the former NBA star faces a life-and-death battle

in a Las Vegas hospital, those feelings echo across the country.

“I’ve been going around the house, and all I’ve been saying is, ‘Fight man, fight. Just fight it.

Fight, fight.’ That’s all,” said 32year-old Daniel Artest, who met Odom as a 6-year-old while growing up in New York through his older brother Ron Artest (now the Los Angeles Lakers’ Metta World Peace).

“I’ve been reading the news and stuff like that online and that whole situation, like how he was found and what not, but I don’t care, man. I don’t care. I just want you to come home, man. Keep fighting. Just come home. We’re

here. We love you.”

Odom was discovered unresponsive at a legal Nevada brothel Tuesday, according to the Nye

County sheriff, and was transported to Las Vegas. Visitors included Kobe Bryant, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Kardashian.

“I couldn’t sleep last night. Sitting and thinking about LO as the person I know him as and thinking about what he has gone thru in his life,” tweeted Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade, a former Odom teammate. “I pray this morning for my brother. Dear God he’s one of the good ones.

PLEASE watch over him and listen to his heart speak #Prayers ForLamar.”

New York Knicks coach Derek Fisher, an Odom teammate with the Lakers, praised Odom.

“I view him through the heart and soul of the person he really is,” Fisher said. “I’m obviously hoping he can pull through this.”

The Lakers were in Las Vegas on Tuesday playing the Sacramento Kings in a preseason game. Bryant and general manager Mitch Kupchak went to visit Odom before leaving town.

“I just hope he makes it, so that he knows how many people love him,” Lakers President Jeanie Buss told USA TODAY Sports.

For friends like Artest, it’s all much bigger than basketball.

“I just hope that God has mercy,” Artest said. “Just fight, man.

Just fight.”

Longtime fan sings Volkswagen blues Chris Woodyard USA TODAY

As a young man trying to navigate a big, crowded and sometimes lonely world, I found a friend in my Volkswagen Beetle.

It was no show car. It was a well-used, tan 1967 model that had been repainted a reddish orange. Above all else, it was dependable, a quality I needed since I couldn’t afford to be stranded and lacked cash for repairs.

The little bug lugged me on 20-mile jaunts from college in Long Beach, Calif., to Hollywood, where I worked the overnight shift at all-news radio station KFWB, and downtown, where I pulled shifts as a cub reporter at the Los Angeles Times.

Then, I took the jalopy to my first full-time job in Las Vegas — a town where old Volkswagens fit in as comfortably as a tiedyed hippie at a baccarat table.

Even in Sin City, I took comfort in driving a car that oozed humility. I imagined that the company behind it upheld the same values.

Nowadays, humility is about the last word that would be used to describe Volkswagen.

Volkswagen is reeling from disclosures that it cheated on emissions tests. It did so by inserting software into 11 million “clean diesel” cars that detected when the cars were being scrutinized for pollution. In the test lab, the cars were on their best behavior — all their control gear working to reduce emissions.

When the cars hit the road, the gear switched off to give them better performance. Emissions zoomed up to 40 times federal standards.

Though Volkswagen has yet to disclose precisely how the deception and coverup unfolded, many who have followed the LOS ANGELES

In the early 1980s, Chris Woodyard’s 1967 VW had a bashed headlight that he never got fixed.

company won’t be surprised.

Volkswagen Group achieved its goal of becoming the world’s largest automaker through the first half of the year. Its many brands include the luxury labels Audi, Porsche, Bentley and Bugatti. It stands to reason that when managers are under intense pressure to achieve sales or profit goals, they are more susceptible to being lured into cutting corners.

Instead of relishing its role as rebel of the auto industry, VW joined the pack and became the fiercest of them all.

How far did it stray from humility to hubris? During much of the past decade, the VW brand tried to sell its own luxury car, the Phaeton, which had a 12-cylinder engine and prices starting at $70,000 and stretching past $100,000.

The model flopped, to no great surprise. Volkswagen, after all, achieved fame as a counterpoint to Detroit’s questionable quality and planned obsoles-

Instead of relishing its role as rebel of the auto industry, VW joined the pack and became the fiercest of them all. cence. Instead of building road beasts stocked with options sure to break in a few years, VW focused on basic transportation as Baby Boomers hit college age.

The basic Beetle remained unchanged from its introduction in the USA in 1949 until its exit three decades later, though it underwent continuous improvement. Like the Model Ts of Henry Ford, who had adhered to the same sales formula, the cars rarely broke down.

The original Beetle was a tribute to humility.

Chris Woodyard presses his face against the windshield of his Beetle. (Apparently, he was bored that day.)

Even VW’s advertising rewrote the rules of the trade in the 1960s.

“Lemon,” blared the headline of one famous ad with an explanation that the Beetle in the photo had been rejected because of a blemish on the chrome strip on the glove compartment. Another, “Think Small,” pointed out that the bug fits into small parking spaces and comes with small insurance tabs, to name just two ways it is small.

The trouble at VW began when the company, facing new competition from Japan in the mid-1970s, had to transition from dependence on its basic models to more sophisticated cars with water-cooled engines in front.

My affection for the original Beetle was inherited from my father. He drove a succession of American cars over the years — Pontiac, Dodge and Ford convertibles — until he bought a used mustard-yellow ’72 Beetle droptop. He spent every week-

end doting on it — oil changes, wax jobs, pinstriping and custom parts, including a horn he described as sounding like a “sick cow.”

He bought a Jetta for my mother, but it truly was a lemon.

My parents’ love affair for VW faded.

But not mine. I drove my own Beetle for years more. I eventually sold it in 1982 to a friend who let his daughters drive it.

When it was finally done, it sat for years in a field in Genoa, Nev., at the foot of the Sierras, almost as a memorial to itself.

VW would go on to try to recast itself as a technology-based precision automaker, again finding a way to embrace a base of youthful customers.

In the end, the automaker finds itself in crisis, all because it lost sight of the values that led to its greatness. Maybe it’s time to “think small” all over again.

Violence posted on Facebook, Twitter v CONTINUED FROM 1B

which is a violent experience which all Palestinians believe it is legitimate to resist,” said Ahmad Rafiq Awad, a professor of media and political science at al-Quds University. They use platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to bring “stories of individuals, who are portrayed as heroes.”

Since the Jewish New Year last month, at least eight Israelis have died and 31 Palestinians have been killed in attacks or clashes with Israeli soldiers.

Facebook and Twitter have been deluged with videos and photos portraying Palestinians’ suffering under occupation and calls for resistance. A music video shared more than 100,000 times on the Facebook page of the news site Keifak features Palestinian musician Qassem Najjar describing intifada — or uprising — as a unity of Palestinians against injustice, singing, “When a shahid (martyr) is made, we will take each other’s hands ... workers, teachers, doctors ... from the left and from the right.”

During the last intifada, from 2000 until 2005, coverage was dominated by media outlets such as Al Jazeera, creating a “collective experience,” said Shimrit Meir, founding editor of the Arabic news site Al-Monitor. This time, news sites take cues from amateur viral videos and posts, she said. “If you look at the Facebook pages of attackers, though, they don’t have a goal; they want revenge, they want blood.”

Meir noted that the posts feature themes. For about a year, Muhannad Halabi, 19, who fatally stabbed two Israeli Jews in Jerusalem’s Old City on Oct. 4, posted to his Facebook page (since taken down) threats to Palestinian women, particularly the “murabitat,” a group of Palestinian women who curse and scream at Jews who make their way up to the Temple Mount compound, which is considered holy to both Jews and Muslims.

Twitter and Facebook are flooded with images of blood dripping off knives under hashtags such as #the_knives_intifada and

“If you look at the Facebook pages of attackers ... they don’t have a goal; they want revenge, they want blood.”

Shimrit Meir, founding editor of Al-Monitor

#Palestine_Intifada. Many of those knife-wielding Palestinians, shot by Israeli security forces, are described as killed “in cold blood.”

A viral video taken on a smartphone Monday shows Ahmad Manasra, 13, his leg twisted as he lies on the ground and bleeds from his head while an Israeli curses at him and yells at him to die. Israeli police said they “neutralized” Ahmad after he and his 15-year-old cousin, Hassan Manasra, stabbed a 13-year-old Jewish Israeli boy riding his bike in West Jerusalem. The cousin was killed.

Similar videos of young Palestinians, either injured or killed, are shown without filters in thousands of Facebook posts, including an account titled “Images from Palestine.” A post says, “In the past two weeks, several Palestinian civilians were killed and injured from fires shot by armed Israeli settlers and soldiers who allege similar charges that have turned out to be falsehoods.”

Because these “lone wolf” attacks are random, Israel has struggled to respond effectively.

It has closed roads used by Palestinians, demolished homes of suspected attackers and deployed additional forces to patrol public places.

“There’s nothing you can do to thwart them in the planning phase, because they’re very spontaneous,” said Daniel Nisman, a security analyst with the Levantine Group. “The only thing you can do is to prevent them as they happen by making sure you have very aware security forces deployed to many places.

“Really, the only thing you can do is try to calm the incitement, if that can even be done,” he said, “as well as start a national dialogue in terms of reconciliation.”

Israeli troops deployed to assist police after attacks

Other measures include confiscating property, revoking residencies Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Israel’s military deployed hundreds of soldiers to cities Wednesday to assist police in an attempt to quell shooting and stabbing attacks on Israelis by Palestinians over the past several weeks.

The measures announced Wednesday include allowing police to seal off points of friction or incitement. Israel’s security Cabinet approved the action after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that the government was working on “aggressive steps” in response to the violence.

Troops from six units will reinforce the police in cities and on roads, the government said Wednesday in a statement.

Other measures include hiring an extra 300 security guards for public transportation in Jerusalem and barring construction on sites where an attacker’s home has been demolished. The gov-

ernment said the property of those who perpetrate attacks will be confiscated and their permanent residency revoked.

The Cabinet met again Wednesday “to deal with additional issues, including incitement,” the statement said.

Wednesday, Israeli police said an Arab attacker stabbed a 70year-old woman, moderately wounding her, as she attempted to board a bus near Jerusalem’s crowded central bus station, the Associated Press reported. The attacker was shot and killed by forces in the area. Earlier, police shot and killed an Arab man after he pulled out a knife and attempted to stab them.

The added security measures come after bloody attacks Tuesday that killed three Israeli Jews and left a number of others wounded by Palestinian attackers in Jerusalem and the city of Ra’anana in central Israel.

In Jerusalem, two assailants opened fire and stabbed people on a bus, killing two men. In a separate incident in the city, a

driver rammed his car into people waiting at a bus stop and began stabbing people, killing a man.

Mustafa Barghouti, president of the Palestinian National Initiative, a political party, told Al Jazeera that the new measures will not work.

“Insanity is nothing but repeating the same thing but expecting different results,” he said.

“When they decide to separate East and West Jerusalem, it only proves that they have failed. The whole idea of walls and checkpoints is only deepening the military occupation.”

Also Wednesday, Gilad Erdan, Israel’s internal security minister, said the bodies of dead Palestinian attackers should not be returned to their families for burial because the funeral processions often turn into “an exhibition of support for terror and incitement to murder,” the AP reported.

Erdan suggested they be buried in faraway cemeteries where previous Palestinian attackers have been buried.

JUSTICE TARGETS DOMESTIC EXTREMISTS New post created to coordinate government response Kevin Johnson @bykevinj USA TODAY

In the wake of mounting concern over the threat posed by violent extremists in the U.S., the Justice Department on Wednesday announced it was creating a special counsel position to coordinate the federal government response.

Assistant Attorney General John Carlin, in a speech at George Washington University,

said the domestic terrorism counsel would not only help oversee the prosecution of cases but also would develop plans to intervene when the threat of violence is imminent.

Citing a series of cases involving U.S.-based suspects, from the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing to the fatal shooting of nine people earlier this year at a Charleston church, Carlin described the incidents as part of a national security threat that is “staggeringly broad.”

While much attention has been focused on the threat posed by al-Qaeda and the Islamic State’s vast recruiting efforts, Carlin said Americans motivated by anti-government animus, eco-

radicalism and racism have created a new urgency for federal and local law enforcement authorities.

“No single ideology governs hate and extremism,” Carlin said.

“Nevertheless, we see commonalities among those who wish to do us harm. This gives us important information as we shape our de-

terrence and disruption strategies. Across the spectrum of extremist ideologies, two related traits emerge: first, the prevalence of lone offender attacks that do not require a terrorist network; and second, the increasing number of disaffected people inspired to violence who communicate their hate-filled views over the Internet and through social media.”

Earlier this year, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the social forces that have assisted the radicalization by the Islamic State, also known as ISIL, of dozens of Americans are very similar to what drove Dylann Roof, the suspect charged in the June Charleston church massacre, to

ARMY WANTS MORE FEMALE RECRUITERS Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

Experts say a run is now less likely

WASHINGTON

he Army needs more female recruiters over the next several years as it gears up for the end of the ban on women serving in tens of thousands of combat-related jobs, according to a top recruiting official.

Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Snow, in an Oct. 4 memo to the top Army personnel officer, has requested an annual boost in the percentage of female recruiters by 1% per year until 2018 “to improve the recruitment of females for Army service.”

Women, Snow said, are 23% better at recruiting women than men. “Increasing the number of females on recruiting duty will improve the effectiveness of recruiting women,” he wrote.

The request comes as the Pentagon moves to open all its frontline combat units, including special operations forces, to women by year’s end. The services may request an exemption for a combat specialty if they can document that women cannot perform the required tasks.

Thus far, no such waiver requests have been made public.

However, the Marine Corps released a study last month showing that all-male units outperformed those that included women, suggesting that the service may seek a waiver for its ground combat forces.

“Regardless of the final decision, a number will be open,” Snow said in an interview. “It’s going to be important.”

Snow, who leads the Army’s recruiting command, also wants more female recruiters because they’re underrepresented compared with the rest of the Army.

Women make up about 9% of the Army’s recruiters, while they are 15% of its nearly 500,000 soldiers.

“I am concerned that as a recruiting force I don’t have the

same number of women that exist out in the operational Army,” Snow said.

The Army should be less concerned about the gender of its recruiters than policies that could make military careers more attractive to women, said Todd Harrison, a military budget expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Expanded maternity leave and greater predictability in geographic moves are among the family friendly policies that the Pentagon is study-

ing, Harrison said.

“The bigger issue is not who you are using as the face of the recruiter, but what are you offering women in terms of pay and benefits and quality of life,” Harrison said.

The Army struggled to meet its quota of 59,000 recruits for the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30.

Signing up more women will help meet its goal of 62,500 for the current year.

Young women make up 50% of those eligible to join the service, according to Snow.

IN BRIEF OHIO TRUCK DRIVER ACCUSED OF BEING SERIAL KILLER

A truck driver indicted Tuesday on multiple counts of aggravated murder is a serial killer who may have killed more people, Cuyahoga County prosecutors contend.

Nearly 20 years ago, Robert Rembert Jr., 45, of Cleveland was convicted of manslaughter in the Dec. 23, 1997, death of Dadren Lewis, 24, in a Cleveland parking lot, and Rembert served a sixyear sentence for the homicide.

But Rembert also killed four others — three this year and another in 1997 before Lewis’ death, Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty said.

On Tuesday, a Cuyahoga County grand jury indicted Rembert, who has been in jail on $1 million bond since Sept. 21, on 25 charges including 10 counts of aggravated murder.

Roof picked this racial hatred theme and that’s what fueled him. Others picked the ISIL theme, and that’s what fuels them,” Lynch told USA TODAY. Carlin said white supremacists represent the most violent.

“The Charleston shooter, who had a manifesto laying out a racist worldview, is just one example,’’ Carlin said. “His actions followed earlier deadly shooting sprees by white supremacists in Kansas, Wisconsin and elsewhere.’’

WASHINGTON The specter of a Joe Biden candidacy still hovers over the Democratic presidential race, but it may be growing faint.

A variety of political analysts and professionals gave Hillary Clinton high marks for her debate performance Tuesday, presumably reducing the rationale for a late Biden candidacy.

“There is no path for Biden,” said John Hudak, a fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution.

“There’s no reason for it.”

GETTY IMAGES Biden gave Biden no hint of his plans when he appeared Wednesday at a White House Build America Investment Initiative roundtable and had only a brief comment when asked about the Democratic debate. “I thought every one of those folks did well,” he said.

Biden has been seen as a candidate who could enter the race amid concerns that Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, could be dragged down by campaign struggles, most notably the continued controversy over her use of a private email account during her tenure as secretary of State.

The vice president spoke last month of the need to determine whether he and his family have the “emotional energy” to run after the death of son Beau in May. In the wake of the Tuesday debate in Las Vegas, Clinton aides suggested it is time for Biden to announce his political intentions.

“He needs to make up his mind,” Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta told reporters.

Alaska could help bail out parched state Doyle Rice USA TODAY

A proposal to ship 9 billion gallons of water a year from Alaska to drought-plagued California caught the eye of Rep. Janice Hahn, D-Calif., who calls it “an idea worth exploring.”

After reading about the concept in USA TODAY in August, Hahn said she arranged an exploratory meeting last week with Alaska Bulk Water CEO Terry Trapp, several California water officials and representatives from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

California’s drought is now in its fourth year and encompasses 97% of the state, leading to water shortages and wildfires.

Trapp said his plan would bring water by tanker ships from Blue Lake in Sitka, where his company has rights to up to 9 billion gallons per year of what he described as “some of the most pure water on Earth.”

Hahn admitted to “sticker shock” when she saw Trapp’s proposed price: 6 cents per gallon, compared to the 1/2-cent per gallon that water now costs in California.

Retail giant surprises investors, analysts; stock plummets 10% Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Walmart shares plunged to their lowest one-day drop in at least two decades Wednesday after the U.S. retailing giant jolted financial markets by forecasting a 6% to 12% earnings drop in fiscal year 2017.

Shares of the Bentonville, Ark., company dropped 10%, or $6.70, to close at $60.03 on the startling news Walmart executives delivered at the company’s annual investors conference with Wall Street analysts.

Attendees had expected Walmart to forecast higher earnings for the fiscal year that starts in February, even as the company hikes spending on Internet technology and employee salaries and battles Amazon — the e-commerce rival that this year leapfrogged Walmart for the title of the world’s largest retailer.

Instead, they heard a bleak outlook that erased billions of dollars of Walmart shareholders’ value and dragged down the Dow Jones Industrial Average 157

points, a nearly 1% drop.

Charles Holley, Walmart’s chief financial officer, estimated sales growth during the next three years would range between 3% to 4% annually, adding approximately $45 billion to $60 billion in revenue. Along with that relatively moderate forecast, Walmart said earnings for sales growth for the current fiscal year would be flat, a drop from the 1% to 2% increase forecast earlier.

Holley issued an even more dramatic long-range earnings outlook, citing impact of approximately $1.5 billion from the second phase of Walmart’s previously announced investments in higher employee wages and increased training.

“As a result of these investments, we expect earnings per share to decline between 6% and 12% in fiscal year 2017, however by fiscal year 2019 we would expect earnings per share to increase by approximately 5% to 10% compared to the prior year,” Holley said.

The warning compounded a second-quarter miss of Wall Street expectations in August, when the company cut its financial outlook amid lower earnings.

Walmart is scheduled to report third-quarter results on Nov. 17.

One prime reason behind retailer’s struggle: Amazon Matt Krantz USA TODAY

Walmart stunned investors in a bad way with its earnings forecast Wednesday. If there’s a winner from the giant’s pain, it’s online retailer Amazon.

Shares of Walmart fell 10% to $60.03 on the news that growth the next three years would be an anemic 3% to 4% and profit would drop up to 12% in fiscal 2017. Shares of Walmart are now down a crushing 30% this year. Investors have seen $21.5 billion in market value vanish just Wednesday and $83 billion this year.

Investors looking for a reason for the decline of the nation’s biggest retailer don’t have to click too far: Amazon. Shares of Amazon have been one of the top performers this year, soaring 75.7%. No, that’s not a typo.

The online retailer’s shares are enjoying a massive rally while the Standard & Poor’s 500 is down 2.9% this year.

The numbers behind this rally really show how Amazon is eating Walmart’s lunch. After creating $109.7 billion in shareholder wealth this year, Amazon is worth $254.8 billion.

That exceeds the market value of Walmart by 30%.

Amazon’s pulling ahead isn’t about the third quarter. Granted, Walmart’s adjusted profit in the third quarter is seen dropping nearly 14%, but Amazon is expected to post a loss of 15 cents a share.

It’s about the future. The very different trajectories of the two companies are much more about what’s expected to happen. Analysts are calling for Amazon.com’s adjusted earnings per share in fiscal 2016 to jump 211% on 19.8% higher revenue, S&P Capital IQ says.

growth future of Walmart. Analysts see fiscal 2016 earnings dropping 11% on revenue that’s basically flat-line.

Investors are willing to pay up for Amazon’s earnings, as they see it as a faster-growing model even though it loses money while Walmart is profitable. Amazon trades for 31 times its tangible book value, which is the value of hard assets it owns minus what it owes. Walmart, on the other hand, trades for just 3.5 times tangible book value.

The result is that after its 18 years, Amazon is now more valuable than Walmart. Walmart will still be more than four times bigger than Amazon in terms of revenue. Walmart revenue is likely to hit $482.2 billion in fiscal 2015, while Amazon’s is seen to be $105.80 billion.

Walmart had been expected to announce higher earnings for the fiscal year that starts in February.

brough, a consumer analyst at Edward Jones, said of the bombshell. He questioned whether Walmart would meet even the reduced profit target as it spends billions of dollars on building its Internet technology platform and hiking employee salaries.

“They’re making all these investments, but what happens if revenue doesn’t come in at 3% or 4%?” asked Yarbrough, whose firm maintained its hold recommendation on Walmart shares.

Morningstar expects to cut its $79 fair market value estimate for Walmart shares by approximately 5% in the wake of the company’s lowered outlook, equity analyst Ken Perkins wrote in a note to investors Wednesday.

However, saying the shares are trading around 13-14 times fiscal 2017 earnings, he characterized the market plunge as “an overreaction and a buying opportunity.”

of Walmart’s shares imply that Walmart’s recent investments in e-commerce and wages will be unsuccessful in driving profits long-term. We see this scenario as a possibility, but we believe that the market underestimates wide-moat Wal-Mart’s cost advantage and its ability to compete,” Perkins wrote.

Similarly, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon emphasized an investments-are-paying-off-but-willtake-time mantra in his remarks.

“For us to deliver for shareholders, we have to first, win with customers and win with associates, and that’s what we’re choosing to do,” McMillon said.

Walmart tried to temper the bad news by announcing a $20 billion share buyback program over the next two years. The company said it had retired the $8.6 billion remaining on its 2013 repurchase authorization.

Economy inches up; may be too slow for Fed Paul Davidson USA TODAY

The economy grew modestly the past six weeks, with consumer spending and the housing market accelerating while a strong dollar and low oil prices continued to hamper manufacturers, the Federal Reserve said Wednesday.

Activity picked up modestly in half of the Fed’s regional bank districts and moderately in just three regions — Minneapolis, Dallas and San Francisco, according to the Fed’s beige book, which provides an anecdotal snapshot of the economy. That appears to represent a slight downgrade

from its previous report, which said the economy expanded moderately in six regions.

The Fed said wage growth remained “subdued” in most districts and price pressures were “contained,” giving Fed policymakers little reason to lift interest rates. The Fed is closely scrutinizing the report for signs of a pickup in economic activity and pay growth as it struggles to decide whether to raise its benchmark interest rate before the end of the year.

Despite disappointing payroll gains in both August and September, the report said labor markets “gently tightened.” Most districts said employment was up “modestly to moderately.” But in many

Wage growth was “subdued” in most districts and price pressures were “contained,” giving the Fed little reason to lift interest rates. areas, employers were still struggling to find skilled, and even unskilled, workers. The findings could indicate that the Labor Department may yet revise up its job-growth totals for the past two months, and that a big reason for the slowdown in gains was a

shortage of workers rather than reduced employer demand.

Consumer spending, meanwhile, increased moderately, driven largely by continued strong auto sales. Besides autos, sales were mixed in the New York and Atlanta areas and slower in Richmond, Va., Chicago and Kansas City, Mo. Tourism also was mixed, with business increasing in Minneapolis, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Chicago. Activity weakened in New York, Kansas City and Dallas, partly because the strong dollar has made trips to the U.S. more expensive for foreign visitors.

Another bright spot was the housing market, and all regions

except Chicago notched rising prices and sales. Low and moderately priced homes were moving more briskly than high-end units, and apartment construction outpaced single-family building.

But limited supplies continued to constrain the market, including in Boston, New York, Richmond and St. Louis. Commercial real estate sales and construction are also recovering smartly across the country.

Manufacturers, however, struggled as the rising greenback made their exports more expensive for foreign customers and low oil prices curtailed investment in drilling equipment. The beige book described industry conditions as “sluggish.”

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch David Craig @davidgcraig USA TODAY

Third-quarter earnings season has barely started, and the headlines coming from the likes of Walmart might put a bit of a damper on hopes the expectations bar has been set too low.

Currently, analysts expect companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, on average, to report earnings down 4.2% from a year ago, earnings tracker Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S says.

That would be the first quarterly earnings drop since 2009.

But the trend lately has been that estimates get higher as more companies report.

The estimates for the 10 different S&P sectors vary widely. The bear market in oil prices this year since crude hit its 2015 high in

Walmart’s investors might be rewarded Q: Is Walmart a bargain now?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Walmart lowered its price on something investors wish it hadn’t: Shares of its own stock. A disappointing outlook prompted a stock decline some investors think is overdone.

The news out of Walmart wasn’t good.

The nation’s biggest retailer by revenue warned it would grow by just 3% to 4% over the next three years and profit could drop up to 12% in fiscal 2017. Investors reacted harshly, sending shares Wednesday down 10% to $60 a share.

Investors are dealing with a mature company that’s large and profitable but having difficulty growing. Online commerce is a natural place to grow, but that will require large investments in infrastructure and systems to give Walmart chops to take on Amazon.com. The company is also facing wage pressure in many of the regions where it operates.

Investors willing to put up with some pain might be rewarded.

Walmart trades for just 14 times its adjusted earnings over the past 12 months, which is a lower multiple than the market, which trades for about 20.

Analysts rate the stock a “hold” but think it will be worth $73.02 in 18 months. The stock is so beaten down that it’s attractively priced relative to future cash values, says New Constructs.

Remember, if you own an index, you own Walmart.

U.S. banks are suffering from low interest rates, which are eating into the profits they make on loans. Large banks that make money from the buying and selling of stocks, bonds and commodities — such as JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs — are also being forced to grapple with dampened trading volumes amid fears over rising interest rates and an economic slowdown in China.

JPMorgan kicked off bank earnings season Tuesday with revenue that missed Wall Street’s already lowered expectations due to slumping sales in its trading division. Record volatility in August and September pushed investors back from trading in bonds and commodities, the bank said.

JPMorgan warned the trading slump has continued in the current quarter.

Wells Fargo doesn’t rely on trading activity to jolt returns, yet has suffered from pressure to net interest margins, or the spread between what it earns on a loan and what it spends to make loans.

At 100, Arthur Miller’s legacy endures

“Even wearing the clothes was painful.

All I had to do in the morning was put on my costume to get into character.”

Playwright shined a light on struggles of common characters Elysa Gardner USA TODAY CHUCK HODES, FOX

No writer has probed this country’s moral conscience more forcefully or relentlessly than Arthur Miller, who would have turned 100 on Saturday. With plays such as Death of a Salesman, All My Sons, The Crucible and A View From the Bridge, Miller cast an unsparing light on issues troubling our national soul, while ennobling the men and women who struggled with them, however imperfectly.

His characters “were often fractured, but they were still men of ideals,” says another Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Lynn Nottage (Ruined), who wrote the foreword to The Penguin Arthur Miller: Collected Plays, released this week. Adds Michael Wilson, who is directing an off-Broadway production of Miller’s Incident at Vichy this fall, “He took classic

Actress unblinkingly faces horrors to hit her creative heights Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

Here’s a chilling exercise for those keeping score during the horrors of Crimson Peak: Try counting the times Jessica Chastain blinks on screen as Lady Lucille Sharpe.

Director Guillermo del Toro tallies three. Whatever the number, the unblinking result is subconsciously freaky long before things get very obviously freaky in Crimson Peak (in theaters Friday).

“An audience might not understand what is really unsettling with this character on screen,” says Chastain, 38, of her insectloving character. “Lucille not blinking is her trying to say: ‘Look at me — I’m normal. Everything is fine.’ And there’s effort in that.”

Nothing is normal about the antagonist in del Toro’s ghostfilled Gothic romance as Lady Lucille and her brother, Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston), try to conceal their family’s dark secrets from his new bride, Edith (Mia Wasikowska).

Chastain’s first leap into villainhood propels the two-time Oscar nominee to rarefied air acting alongside baddie extraordinaire Hiddleston: She manages to out-evil the actor who brought Marvel’s Loki to the screen.

“My God, she creates one of the truly scary villains I have seen, so dark,” del Toro says. “Jessica took this to 11. She went full Spinal Tap here.”

Chastain, also in theaters as mission commander Melissa Lewis in The Martian, received an early Crimson Peak script and

surprised herself by zeroing in on Lucille instead of Edith.

“So I called Guillermo and said: ‘This is going to throw you. But I’d like to play Lucille,’ ” she says.

“It’s a big testament to his imagination that he trusted me.”

Chastain inhaled darkness to prepare, keeping a well-read volume of 18th-century Graveyard Poets (“It’s all corpses and worms eating bodies”) in her trailer on the Toronto set. She plastered the walls with disturbing period artwork and watched unnerving films such as Misery and Rebecca.

“My trailer was my source of

inspiration,” Chastain says. “Every morning, I would walk in and just feel the heaviness.”

Her suffocating thick-velvet outfits, on top of 7-inch platform shoes for added stature, helped her mentally as well.

“I had tight corsets. I couldn’t lift my elbows above my shoulders,” Chastain says. “Even wearing the clothes was painful. All I had to do in the morning was put on my costume to get into character.”

But staying in the dark head space was draining for Chastain, who found herself “superdepressed” on the set.

“I turned to Tom (Hiddleston) one day and said, ‘I thought that these were the fun characters to play?’ ” she says. “He said that you only have fun when your character is having fun. So there was no fun playing Lucille.”

Still, she was effective. Del Toro emailed Chastain a month after Crimson Peak wrapped to say how proud he was of the performance.

“I was just starting to feel normal again. But I am glad I played this character — I wouldn’t change anything,” says Chastain, adding with a laugh, “And I am blinking again, thank goodness.”

tragedy and transmuted it to the common man, making it democratic and accessible and essential for all of us.”

Salesman and Sons, in particular, Miller showed how capitalism, a system ostensibly designed to promote the individual, could crush those it promised to empower.

Born into a Jewish family that prospered before being financially devastated by the stock-market crash that precipitated the Great Depression, Miller, who died in 2005 at age 89, “was aware of inequity in ways that people who hadn’t experienced it first-hand couldn’t be,” Nottage notes.

Miller also defended the right to personal and creative expression, at his own peril. While the House Un-American Activities Committee was investigating artists and writers under suspicion of Communist activity in the 1940s, Miller not only refused to name names but engaged in social protest through his writing.

Miller’s accounts of the search for integrity and justice were not intended for American audiences only. Vichy examines the antiSemitism that led to Nazi genocide. And the emotional and moral quandaries faced in his plays have universal resonance, from View to After the Fall — informed

by Miller’s much-examined marriage to Marilyn Monroe — to later works such as The Ride Down St. Morgan (1991) and Resurrection Blues (2002).

Julia Bolus, who was Miller’s assistant and is director of the Arthur Miller Trust, notes that his plays are still translated, published and performed in new languages and different countries each year. Which would have suited him: “He lived in a way that was very connected to the world.”

AMERICAN LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

KU guard Graham big key to success Five themes have dominated the offseason for a Kansas University basketball program that has so much experience, balance and talent that expectations run even higher than usual, which says a lot.

1. Jitters surround Cheick Diallo’s eligibility status.

2. Optimism abounds regarding Wayne Selden Jr.’s junior year in the week of his big performance in the World University Games.

3. Frank Mason III just keeps getting better, playing bigger, tougher.

Graham 4. Perry Ellis figures to become the Kansas University basketball program’s best senior since Sherron Collins.

5. An additional year of maturity for Svi Mykhailiuk, 18, sends the imagination sprinting over what big things he can contribute.

Meanwhile, just as much a key as anyone to KU’s success, sophomore guard Devonté Graham, flies under the radar. Is this the year that the pass-first point guard blessed with a soft shooting touch takes charge and makes sure the ball ends up in the right hands, even if that means barking at teammates who put the ball elsewhere?

One of coach Bill Self’s stated goals for the upcoming season is for the team to play faster. Another involves doing a better job of feeding the post. Graham can make both happen.

A starting lineup consisting of Graham, Mason, Selden and big sprinters Ellis and Diallo could score a ton of easy buckets on the break and prevent them at the other end in transition.

That sort of speed could exhaust most teams trying to keep up. Looking at what’s left on the bench to spell them could downright demoralize opponents.

If those five start, Carlton Bragg, Hunter Mickelson, Landen Lucas and Jamari Traylor would be available to lend rebounds, fouls and energy in the frontcourt and Svi, Brannen Greene and Lagerald Vick could help on the perimeter.

“You can sub somebody out and the next person can fill that same spot just as good, even better than the starter,” Graham said of the team’s depth.

A faster pace suits a deep team.

“That excites all of us,” Graham said. “We all like to run, get up and down.

Nobody really likes to play slow.”

Graham said he has spent a lot of time talking with assistant director of student-athlete development Aaron Miles about how to lead a team and “how to get people certain shots.”

Miles excelled at feeding the post and can educate Graham and Mason on how to do it better.

Playing both small guards together can make KU a

KANSAS CITY STARTING PITCHER JOHNNY CUETO DELIVERS against Houston during Game 5 of the American League Division Series on Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The Royals defeated the Astros, 7-2, to clinch the series.

Royals march on, reach ALCS

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — Johnny Cueto knew the Kansas City Royals had wagered much of their future on him, trading away a bevy of prospects in late July so that he could pitch in moments like this.

The decisive game of a playoff series, their season on the line.

He responded with a masterpiece on his biggest stage yet, eight dominant innings Wednesday night that allowed the resilient Royals to rally once more for a 7-2 victory over the Houston Astros that sent them back to the American League Championship Series.

“I woke up today on the right foot,” Cueto said. “As soon as I woke up, I felt something magic, that this was Game 5 and I had to show up for everybody, for this team and the fans.”

Cueto allowed two hits, a single by Evan Gattis followed by Luis Valbuena’s second-inning homer, before retiring the final 19 batters he faced. He struck out eight without a walk in the kind of clutch performance the Royals expected when they got him from the Reds.

“Johnny Cueto was unbelievable,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He knew the magnitude of this game. I think we all did. And he came out from the first pitch and had everything going.”

The defending AL champs will host the Toronto Blue

Jays in Game 1 on Friday night. The teams have met once before in the ALCS with the Royals winning in seven games in 1985 — they would go on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals for their only World Series triumph.

“They’re a great team,” Davis said. “It’ll be a fun series to watch.”

The Royals trailed the As-

tros 2-1 in the fifth when Alex Rios led another comeback with a go-ahead, two-run double. Eric Hosmer and Ben Zobrist also drove in runs, and Kendrys Morales capped the festive night with a threerun homer off Dallas Keuchel in the eighth to put it away.

Woods is a lot of things.

He’s fast. He’s confident.

He’s strong. He possesses great vision when looking for holes. And, perhaps, he’s one of the best running backs in school history.

“He’s got power and he runs so low to the ground that all you’re hitting is

KU volleyball 18-0 after topping Baylor, 3-1 J-W Staff Reports

Waco, Texas — Kelsie Payne and Madison Rigdon smashed 13 kills apiece, while fellow Texas native Tiana Dockery contributed nine as Kansas University’s No. 9-ranked volleyball team remained undefeated on the season with a 3-1 victory over Baylor on Wednes-

day night in Ferrell Center.

KU, which prevailed 25-21, 13-25, 25-20, 25-17, improved to 18-0 overall and 6-0 in the Big 12. Baylor fell to 13-6, 1-4.

“Baylor took the fight to us. Sometimes it is not going to be a pretty match, but we will take the effort,” KU coach Ray Bechard said. “We feel good about the fact that

Baylor took away a lot of the things that we wanted to do, but we still found a way to win.”

Ainise Havili, who is from Fort Worth, Texas (Payne is from Austin, Rigdon from Pflugerville and Dockery from Richmond), had 34 assists and 13 digs to go with five kills.

Tayler Soucie had eight kills and six blocks

and Cassie Wait 11 digs for KU. Dockery contributed five blocks.

Shelly Fanning had 14 kills for Baylor.

Overall, KU had 48 kills off a .226 hitting percentage. Baylor had 51 kills and hit .223. The Jayhawks have the weekend off, then meet Oklahoma at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, in Horejsi Center.

KU baseball sets 2016 slate Kansas University baseball has announced a 56game schedule for 2016, including trips to Surprise Stadium in Arizona and Sunken Diamond in Palo Alto, California, to meet Oregon State (Feb. 27-28) and Stanford (March 1820).

“We feel that with the experience our young team received a year ago, we are in a good position to have a chance to get back in the NCAA Tournament,” KU coach Ritch Price said.

“I really like the series we have at home and how the conference schedule sets up. If we can take another step in the development of our younger players, it will create some opportunities for this club moving forward.

“We always try to put two special nonconference weekends in our schedule,” Price said.

“Certainly the Big 12/Pac12 Challenge at the Major League (Baseball) sites is one of the great venues in the country you get to play in and then for the last 30 years, you can make the argument that Stanford is the best college baseball program in America. With all the California kids on our roster, it is always exciting for those young men to go back and play in their home state at one of the greatest college stadiums in America.”

KU Schedule Feb. 20 — at UALR. Feb. 22-23 — Northern Colorado. Feb. 26 — Utah.

Feb. 27-28 — Oregon State. Feb. 29 — Utah March 3-5 — BYU March 8 — Creighton. March 11-13 — at Millar Management Classic (North Dakota, St. Louis, Purdue). March 15-16 — Murray State. March 18-20 — at Stanford. March 23 — at Creighton.

KANSAS CITY’S KENDRYS MORALES (25) CELEBRATES with teammates after hitting a threerun home run during the eighth inning of the American League Division Series. The Royals defeated Houston, 7-2, on Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, to clinch the series.

Royals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

won the divisional series opener for Houston, allowed three runs in fourplus innings. His bullpen fared little better just two days after it blew a fourrun, eighth-inning lead to send the series back to Kauffman Stadium for Game 5.

“The good version of Johnny Cueto is really tough,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. “Hats off to him. He pitched a great game. ... We didn’t scratch much off him.”

Nothing, actually, after the second inning. And even that came thanks in part to a rare series of lapses by the Royals defense that briefly quieted a charged Kansas City crowd.

With two outs in the second, Gattis sent a slow hopper down the line that third baseman Mike Moustakas fielded cleanly. But with plenty of time, his throw across the infield went wide, and first baseman Hosmer had the ball pop from his glove trying to make a swipe tag.

On the next pitch, Valbuena sent his two-run homer streaking into the Astros bullpen.

It wasn’t until the fourth that Kansas City got a run back, on backto-back singles by Cain and Hosmer. But by the fifth, the Royals had figured out McHugh’s

darting curveball. Salvador Perez was hit by a pitch, and Alex Gordon hit a ground-rule double to right. Hinch brought in Mike Fiers in relief, and Rios sent a double bouncing down the chalk of the third-base line, scoring two runs and giving the Royals the lead.

Following a sacrifice bunt, Zobrist’s lazy sacrifice fly made it 4-2.

That was plenty of support for Cueto, who was

acquired from the Reds for a package of lefthanded prospects just before the July 31 trade deadline precisely for moments like this.

Mixing quick-pitch fastballs with hesitation changeups, Cueto made the Astros look foolish most of the night. He jawed with Houston outfielder Carlos Gomez, strutted around like a Wild West gunfighter, and had the unmistakable swagger of an October ace.

After all, Cueto was finally proving that he was one.

“After the homer he settled in. He was able to use deception, quickpitch, slow us down and disrupt our timing,” Astros slugger George Springer said. “He’s got electric stuff.”

Cueto’s star turn came after going 0-2 in his first four postseason starts, including a forgettable outing in Game 2 against Houston. He allowed four runs in six innings in that game, though Kansas City’s offense and its stingy bullpen ultimately bailed him out.

There was no need for any help this time. Cueto was good enough on his own.

“Tonight was Cueto’s night,” Hinch said. “We didn’t get a baserunner after the second, is that right? By my book. I thought the crowd got behind him, and he pitches with emotion. He rose to the occasion. This was his night.”

KANSAS CITY’S ALEX GORDON (4) and Salvador Perez (13) celebrate after scoring on a double by Alex Rios on Wednesday night in Kansas City, Missouri.

Basketball notebook. ...

Jarrett Allen, a 6-foot9 senior forward from St. Stephens Episcopal School in Austin, Texas, who is ranked No. 20 in the recruiting Class of 2016 by Rivals.com, will make an official visit to Kansas University on Oct. 23-25, Jayhawkslant. com reports.

Allen — he averaged 21.4 points, 13.3 rebounds and 4.1 blocks a game his junior year of high school — visited Notre Dame last weekend. He’s slated to visit Kentucky on Oct. 30-Nov. 1. He’s also considering Houston, Indiana, Kansas State, North Carolina and Texas.

“Jarrett is athletic, but has such a calm demeanor on the court, similar to Tim Duncan,” Allen’s AAU coach, Maryland Lowe of Texas PRO, told Rivals.com. “He’s a very special player and I think if he had played in the NBA Top 100 camp and wasn’t injured, you guys (media) would have seen that he is a top-three player. Maybe even higher.

“He’s not going to get rattled, that’s for sure. He has such comfort shooting the ball from the outside and he can make that soft jump-hook right handed and left handed.

In fact, if you didn’t know, he shoots it with his left hand so well, that some people walk away from watching him, thinking that he is actually lefthanded,” Lowe added of Allen, who has a 7-foot-4 wingspan. l Young had good KU visit: Trae Young, a 6-1 junior point guard from Norman (Oklahoma) High, who is ranked No. 26 in the recruiting Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, will follow his visit to KU with a trip to Kentucky this weekend and Oklahoma State on Oct. 23, his dad told Zagsblog.com.

“Kansas was great,” said Trae’s dad, former Texas Tech standout Rayford Young, who scored 41 points in a home loss to KU in the 1998-99 season. He went 18-of-18 from the free throw line in that game.

“We got a good feel from the coaches and the program,” Rayford Young added, noting his son would soon put out an official list of contending schools. Duke, Texas, UCLA, Oklahoma and many others join KU on his early list. l Alkins was kidding: Rawle Alkins, a 6-4 senior shooting guard from Word of God Christian Academy in Raleigh, North Carolina, who is ranked No. 9 in the Class of 2016, recently joked on Twitter that he committed to Buffalo.

Many fans believed him.

“Sorry guys people at my school was playing with my phone ain’t nothing wrong with buffalo great program but no i am not really committed,” he wrote on Twitter.

Alkins has a list of KU, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, N.C. State, North Carolina, UNLV and St. John’s. He recently visited St. John’s and N.C. State. He has said he definitely will make a visit to KU and likely sign with a school in the spring. l Azubuike update: Udoka Azubuike, a 6-11 senior center from Potter’s House in Jacksonville, Florida, who has visited KU, North Carolina State and Florida State, will visit North Carolina on Oct. 23-25, his brother told Zagsblog.com. He currently has no other visits planned. l Ellis on Vitale’s team: Kansas University senior forward Perry Ellis has been named to Dick Vitale’s second-team AllSolid Gold squad, which is the ESPN announcer’s preseason All-America picks.

First-teamers are Melo Trimble, Maryland: Buddy Hield, Oklahoma; Malcolm Brogdon, Virginia; Kyle Wiltjer, Gonzaga and Georges Niang, Iowa State. l Big 12 second best: ESPN.com has ranked the Big 12 Conference the second best league in the country behind the ACC entering the 2015-16 season.

“No league’s contingent of (presumed) top teams brings back more minutes and possessions from last season than that of the Big 12,” writes John Gasaway of ESPN Insider. “Kansas effectively has the same level of returning experience as North Carolina and indeed was the stronger of the two last season — that is until the Jayhawks lost to Wichita State in the round of 32. Oklahoma returns the reigning conference player of the year, Buddy Hield, and three other starters from a team that received a No. 3 seed, and fellow 2015 No. 3 seed Iowa State brings back everyone except Dustin Hogue, Bryce DejeanJones and coach Fred Hoiberg.

“Throw in the league’s own potentially dazzling freshmen (e.g. Cheick Diallo and Carlton Bragg at Kansas) and the fact that Baylor too has a shot at a preseason top25 ranking and you’re clearly looking at one of the strongest conferences in the nation for 2015-16. Perhaps even the strongest.”

Blue Jays flip Astros after Bautista blast Toronto (ap) — The Toronto Blue Jays clinched their first trip to the American League Championship Series since 1993, overcoming one of the most bizarre plays in playoff history when Jose Bautista hit a three-run homer after three Texas Rangers errors for a victory Wednesday in the deciding Game 5 of the Division Series.

The Blue Jays became the third team to win a best-of-five series after losing the first two games at home. They will play Kansas City after the Royals defeated Houston, 4-2, Wednesday night. Game 1 of the ALCS is Friday night in Kansas City.

Bautista’s homer capped an event-filled, 53-minute seventh inning that took a turn when Toronto catcher Russell Martin’s throw back to the pitcher deflected off batter Shin-Soo Choo and allowed the tiebreaking to score.

The Blue Jays filed a protest after an umpire review ruled Rougned Odor was allowed to cross home plate. Toronto fans pelted the field with debris during the 18-minute delay.

The Rangers started the bottom half by making three straight errors, and Toronto rallied.

Roberto Osuna got the final five outs for his first postseason save.

Osuna turned toward the outfield after striking out Wil Venable, looked to the sky and was mobbed by his teammates as jubilant fans cheered.

After Edwin Encarnacion tied it 2-all with a second-deck drive off tough-luck loser Cole Hamels in the sixth, Odor led off the seventh with a single and went to third on a sacrifice and groundout.

With Choo up, Martin’s throw back to reliever Aaron Sanchez deflected off Choo and dribbled toward third base.

Home plate umpire Dale Scott initially ruled it a dead ball but, after Rangers manager Jeff Banister questioned the call, the umpires huddled and Odor was sent home.

Fans littered the field with objects during the delay as umpires sorted out a play that is certain to rank up there with Derek Jeter’s Jeffrey Maier homer or Reggie Jackson’s hip block of a throw as one of the craziest in the postseason.

According to rule Major League Baseball rule 6.03(a)(3), the batter is not to be charged with interfering with the catcher if the batter is still in the batter’s box and doesn’t make a movement to block or disrupt the throw.

This type of play is not subject to manager’s review but Scott, the crew chief, after discussing the ruling with Blue Jays manager John Gibbons, called an umpire’s review. After a delay of 2 minutes, 32 seconds, the play stood and fans continued to throw objects on the field.

The Blue Jays filed a protest.

No need for the paperwork, though.

The Rangers made three consecutive errors to start the bottom half, with Martin reaching on a fielding error by Elvis Andrus to start it off.

Kevin Pillar followed with a grounder to first but Martin was safe at second on an errant throw by Mitch Moreland.

After Dalton Pompey pinch ran for Martin, Ryan Goins followed with a sacrifice bunt.

Adrian Beltre fielded the ball and threw to third, but Andrus dropped the ball for his second error of the inning, loading the bases for Ben Revere.

Revere grounded into a fielder’s choice, with Moreland throwing Pompey out at the plate.

After Sam Dyson relieved Hamels, Josh Donaldson tied it at 3 with a flare just beyond the reach of Odor at second, but Revere was forced out.

Bautista followed with a towering drive into the second deck, glaring at Dyson as he stood at home plate to admire his go-ahead drive, enthusiastically flipping his bat away.

With some fans continuing to litter the field, Edwin Encarnacion turned to face the crowd and appealed for calm, lifting his bat and helmet over his head. Dyson took exception and walked over to confront Encarnacion, leading to both dugouts and both bullpens emptying.

During the scrum that was quickly dissolved, 20 Toronto police officers stood across the outfield, while others stood along the foul lines. Police later stood on the roof of the Rangers’ first base dugout before the bottom of the ninth.

Encarnacion and Chris Colabello both singled when play resumed, but the bat-around inning ended when Troy Tulowitzki fouled out. Dyson made contact with Tulowitzki as he walked off, leading to another benches-clearing confrontation, with catcher Chris Gimenez shoving Tulowitski before the scrum was broken up.

Osuna fanned Josh Hamilton and Andrus to finish the eighth, stranding runners at first and second.

Texas opened the scoring in the first when Delino DeShields scored on a fielder’s choice by Prince Fielder. Choo homered off Marcus Stroman in the third to make it 2-0.

Choo’s homer was the first for the Rangers since Odor connected off David Price in the seventh inning of Game 1.

Toronto cut the deficit in half in the third on Bautista’s two-out double.

Kelly Oubre was a three, and those guys weren’t natural as far as just being able to feed the post and play the angles and things like that. So I think we’ll be much better at that this year, and I think we’ll be a much better passing team, especially because we’ll play two little guards a lot together.”

Both little guards will be better versions of themselves.

“My knowledge of the game, that’s one big

area,” Graham said when asked to explain how he has improved. “There’s a lot more to it than people actually realize. I think I’ve gotten stronger, faster. My knee (which sidelined him from playing in the World University Games) is healthy and feeling good. Also, I think my jump shot has improved.”

Not that it needed to much. Graham, who led KU with 17 points and five steals in a seasonending loss to Wichita

State, shot .425 from three last season and Mason shot .429. They have the long shots covered. Now, setting up teammates for more shots closer to the basket becomes an extra challenge.

Ideally, KU would have one more small guard, but that’s a greedy way to look at it. Nobody in the country feels sorry for the Jayhawks as their roster stands now, even less so if Diallo gains eligibility.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

KU welcomes observers

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

In January of 2011, Darron Thomas was on the top of the college football world, starting at quarterback for Oregon in the national championship game.

Today, Thomas, 25, is spending his days closer to the college football basement — and loving it.

In town to observe Kansas University football practices with close friend and arena league teammate, Duane Brooks, Thomas, a self-described “football head” has enjoyed everything he has seen from the Kansas coaches and players. So much so that last Friday, during a motivational meeting, the former Oregon QB raised his hand and spoke up. The message was simple. And it went a long way.

“I’m just coming from a heart standpoint,” said the former LSU commitment and Houston native. “They haven’t won here in a long time. Back where I’m from, winning’s what we do. I’m just giving ’em belief that they can do it.”

Although most players on the KU roster still were waiting to become relevant for their high school teams at the time Thomas was throwing for 2,800 yards and 30 touchdowns while leading Oregon to an undefeated regular season, many of them were very aware of who he was when they first met him late last week.

“There were some guys saying, ‘Oh, that’s him, he played for Oregon, I used to play with him on NCAA Football (video game),’” KU junior Fish Smithson said. “There were a lot of those con-

finished with 3,052 rushing yards before he graduated in 2003.

Against Olathe Northwest last year, the 5-foot7, 180-pound Woods rushed for 296 yards, the most in a single-game since Thomas Daniels rushed for 272 in the 1995 state title game.

But records don’t matter much to Woods. He has bigger goals in mind.

“That’s not winning me a state championship or hanging a banner for my teammates and Lawrence High and the city of Lawrence,” Woods said. “The school record can be whatever it is, but I’m not really worried about myself right now. I’m trying to worry about my team and these guys.”

DUANE BROOKS, LEFT, WHO PLAYED FOR KANSAS COACH DAVID BEATY at MacArthur High in Irving, Texas, and arena league teammate and former Oregon quarterback Darron Thomas, right, take in some of Wednesday’s Kansas football practice. versations. And Duane, he played for (KU) coach (David) Beaty and that shows a lot. Ten-plus years later he comes back and still wants to be connected.”

Added Thomas, who said he spent most of his time emphasizing to the Jayhawks that they belong: “They were wowin’ when they saw me, because they were like, ‘Man, he was a top player.’ But I was like, ‘I’m one of y’all. I come from the same place and we do similar things.’ Now they’ve got the belief that we’re not superstars, we’re the same level and everybody can do the same thing.”

That belief is at the core of what Beaty has tried to establish during his first season in charge of Kansas football. That’s

where the “Earn It” mantra comes from, and, according to Brooks, it’s something that Beaty has always preached.

“It doesn’t take long to understand the genuine love that guy has for athletes and just people in general,” said Brooks, who played quarterback for Beaty at McArthur High in Irving, Texas, from 2002-04. “That was somebody that I looked up to as a mentor who just embodied a lot of things I wanted to be. I got the chance to play for him and I’ve never met a coach that could hold his jock since then.”

Although NCAA rules have required Thomas and Brooks to observe from a distance during their time in Lawrence, both said just getting

the chance to be around Beaty and such an upbeat program has been a joy. What’s more, the tips they’ve shared and the words of encouragement they’ve offered already appear to have made an impact.

“Coach Beaty said he’s seeing the response and he liked that,” Thomas said. “At Tuesday’s practice, he said, ‘You all want to run around for these guys, I’ve been trying to get you to run around like this all year.’ Sometimes they just need to hear it from the players and the ones that are actually doing it.”

Smithson, who said several KU players have asked for their visitors’ phone numbers so they can stay in touch, agreed: “I think it helps a lot coming from those two.

Sometimes if you keep hearing it from a coach or one of your teammates, it can get brushed off. But if you hear it from guys who have done it, and done it successfully like those two, it hits.”

A random visit from a couple of strangers and future friends likely won’t do much to change any outcomes the rest of the season. The Jayhawks, who lost last week, 66-7 to Baylor, once again are heavy underdogs this Saturday against Texas Tech — 11 a.m. kickoff at Memorial Stadium — and figure to be at least fourtouchdown underdogs to most opponents the rest of the way.

But Thomas likes what he sees here, and a big reason he believes in KU’s future is because of Beaty’s message and the

way the players seem to be responding.

“I never had a coach tell me he loved me,” Thomas said. “I did so much for a coach and I never heard him just say, ‘Thank you.’ And coach Beaty’s telling these dudes that before they’ve even done anything. I tell ’em, ‘He’s giving you all that, why aren’t you out there breaking your necks for him?’

“I think Kansas is gonna make a turn really soon. And it’s only gonna take one game. It’s just installing that confidence. Last week, before they played Baylor, I was like, ‘Y’all acting like you’re D-III and they’re D-I. You’re all the same, you all were recruited to play D-I football, you just gotta go out there and play like it.’”

Alan Clothier has played with Woods since the third grade, always sharing the backfield together.

Clothier, along with senior H-back Peter Afful, helped give Woods the nickname “JD” when they were young, a play off of his real name Ja’Darius.

Even throughout all of those years together, Clothier still can’t believe some of the plays Woods makes each week.

“I don’t know how he always breaks every single tackle,” Clothier said. “He does it somehow and gets into the end zone. He fights. … If I was a defense, I’d be like, ‘Oh wow, he’s very small.

He’s just really fast.’ But he’s also like a big running back. Like a fullback that can run hard, too.”

But the varsity level wasn’t always as easy as Woods makes it look now. During his sophomore season he struggled with fumbles, a sprained

ankle and some blocking issues, which cost him some playing time.

“As a sophomore, he wouldn’t hold onto the ball and he wanted to bounce everything (outside) like most speed guys do,” Wedd said. “So he didn’t get to play as much as he thought he should. He didn’t get to play as much as he deserved to play. But you teach really good running backs lessons early on and then they come back and thank you later on.”

Woods learned from his mistakes. Any of those selfish tendencies turned into a team-first attitude during the last two seasons. He’s always quick to credit his big offensive line — Amani Bledsoe, Trey Georgie, Jake Unruh, Mark Greene and Ethan Taylor — that he runs behind.

Woods is determined to do whatever it takes to

bring home a state championship, whether it’s lining up in the backfield, in the secondary or to block punts. He’s known for his competitive streak. It doesn’t matter if it’s on the football field or playing the video game “Madden” with the Green Bay Packers.

He remembers his only loss on South Middle School’s football team in the seventh grade, losing to senior linebacker Price Morgan and Southwest Middle School. He’s quick to point out that he helped South go undefeated during the eighth grade, winning a city title.

“Hate to lose. If it’s a video game, I’ll try to fight you,” Woods said.

“It’s always been like that. It’s in my family.

My brothers hates to lose and my sister. Losing just doesn’t go well with me.”

Woods, the state runner-up in the 100-meter

dash last track season, wants to play football at the collegiate level. He’s received interest in the past from FCS-schools Northern Iowa, Western Illinois, Illinois State, Missouri State, South Dakota and South Dakota State, but hopes to “do better on the field, classroom and hopefully something good happens.”

However, it’s his chase for a state championship that has his focus right now and will likely determine how he stacks up against some of the best players in school history.

“Really how you gauge running backs in this town is did he win a state championship?”

Wedd said. “If you win a state championship, then you can be put in the same breath as some of those other guys. But until we win one, he’s just going to be a really, really good back.

“Is it fair? I don’t know,”

Wedd added. “The way this town gauges all the great players that have come through this school is by did you win a state championship first, then we’ll talk about how good you were.”
