Jayhawks embrace charity on Ladies Night

LMH denies ex-employee lawsuit claims Nurse alleges hospital falsified patient wait times

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Lawrence Memorial Hospital is denying claims made by a former employee that it defrauded the federal government for financial gain.

The whistleblower lawsuit filed by former emergency room nurse Megen Duffy, alleges that LMH falsified records to gain incentive payments. LMH’s response to the lawsuit denies all claims, calling them baseless and “scurrilous accusations.”

Student fee increase will raze, rebuild Burge Union

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Kansas University’s Burge Union is slated to be torn down and rebuilt by fall 2018, and student money and input are shaping what it will look like.

The Student SenKANSAS ate voted UNIVERSITY Wednesday night to approve a required campus fee that will begin next year and last the next 31 years, until 2048. The move extends the current Student Union Renovation Fee — which

The student money will fund roughly two-thirds of the cost to rebuild Burge, plus be a depend-

able stream of revenue well into the future, said David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions.

Addressing the underused Burge is important, Mucci said.

With shovels already churning on a major overhaul of KU’s Central District, plans have had to move fast.

“This really anticipates campus moving farther to the west,” Mucci said.

“This side really is going to be the new center of campus in a decade. ...

This is basically buying our place in the future.”

Two Republican state lawmakers said Thursday that Gov. Sam Brownback’s veto threat is the only thing preventing the Legislature from rolling back at least part of the sweeping tax cuts enacted in 2012.

Sen. Jim Denning and Rep. Melissa Rooker, both Over- Denning land Park Republicans, said that at the very least, lawmakers would repeal one element of the 2012 plan, the total exemption granted to more than 300,000 business owners who receive “passthrough” income from their business operations.

“I know we had enough Rooker votes in both chambers last year to fix it,” Denning said. “But with a veto threat, nobody’s willing to make a vote that doesn’t succeed.”

in another Texas-led challenge, arguing that since a provision of the law known as the “individual mandate” has been interpreted as a tax, the law is unconstitutional on procedural grounds because tax bills must originate in the U.S. House, and the Affordable Care Act was a Senate bill.

Lawrence police officer honored Lawrence Police Department officer and chair of the Douglas County Crisis Intervention Training Council Amber Rhoden was honored Wednesday with the “CIT Officer of the Year Award” by the National Alliance on Mental Illness’s Kansas Chapter Wednesday.

Rhoden was instrumental in Rhoden bringing CIT to the police department and a driving force in the department’s initiative to have each LPD officer certified in CIT, which law enforcement uses to focus on defusing encounters with people in mental health crises.

Currently, 42 of the Lawrence Police Department’s 152 officers are CIT certified.

Bill Wood, of Lawrence’s NAMI chapter, said Rhoden was selected for the award because of her enthusiasm for and investment in the program.

“Not everyone was interested in the training, but once you get around (Rhoden), why not?” Wood said.

NAMI is an organization that provides support and advocates for those with mental illness.

Burge CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

existing Burge would have required $8 million to $11 million in improvements in the short term, Mucci said.

There is still no price tag for rebuilding, because designs have yet to be drawn, but Mucci estimated it will cost in the neighborhood of $8 million to $10 million.

Student Senate representatives have been in talks with KU Memorial Unions since this spring, negotiating funding and plans for the new building, said Tyler Childress, a second-year law student and chairman of the Student Senate finance committee.

The resulting agreement “gets us what we want,” Childress said.

According to “very conceptual” sketches shown Wednesday by KU Memorial Unions director of building services Lisa Kring, that includes: l A 33,500-square-foot, one-and-a-half story building with basement.

Without extra student dollars, plans called for a 26,000-square-foot building. l A high-ceilinged ballroom that could be divided and configured in different ways. l A reflection room for students of all faiths to meditate or pray, similar to one recently opened across campus in the Kansas Union. l Office space for the new Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center (though KU administrators have not confirmed a decision to locate the office there) and the Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity, currently in Wescoe Hall. l Office space for Legal Services for Students, currently located inside Burge. l Gender-neutral restrooms. l A coffee shop and convenience store. l Lounge space.

Another demand: Students don’t want the new Burge named after a business, even if one were to donate money for it, Childress said.

“Since the students are paying for it, we wanted it to reflect a member of the campus community,” he said.

While the final power to name KU buildings rests with the Kansas Board of Regents, when the time comes, Childress said, the Student Senate planned to be involved in the process of recommending a name to KU’s building-naming committee and, ultimately, the Regents.

With the student fee approved, Mucci said, KU Memorial Unions can move forward with formal building plans and designs. The project developer and financier is a company called Edgemoor, selected in June.

He said that while student fees and uniongenerated revenue will cover the cost of the new building, the project is part of a larger finance package for the entire Central District — which, among other things, calls for constructing new integrated science buildings and residential facilities on the slope between Naismith Drive and Daisy Hill.

Plans call for rebuilding the new Burge right next to where the old one is now, and slightly to the southeast, Mucci said.

The Burge will close for good in March, Kring said, around the time the new DeBruce Center, which will house the original rules of basketball, is scheduled to open.

monitors. Using the ECG time as the arrival time, the lawsuit says, conceals any time the patient spent in the waiting room, at registration or in triage.

LMH’s response says that the lawsuit mischaracterizes and selectively quotes from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services specifications manual, including overlooking provisions that the arrival time may differ from the admission time and that ECG reports may be used to document arrival time.

LMH’s response also says that Duffy was fired from her position at LMH in part for sending threatening text messages to a coworker and “engaging in disruptive behavior.” In the lawsuit, Duffy claims she was fired because she objected to falsifying arrival times and that the threatening text was a “fabricated reason.”

Also part of the hospital’s response, a counterclaim by LMH accuses Duffy of breach of contract and fraud, alleging that as part of her termination settlement — that paid Duffy $9,000 for lost wages and compensatory damages — she agreed not to file further claims against LMH and stated there were not any other claims pending.

The lawsuit was filed through Duffy’s attorney, Robert Collins, of Olathe, who said that because the claim was “under seal,” it would have been against the law for Duffy to disclose it. Collins said that it is the time-tested strategy of defendants in whistleblower cases to attack the messenger instead of confronting the facts.

“The defense may try to create distractions, but the ball to keep one’s eye on in this case is that this suit is about patient safety, plain and simple,” Collins said in an email. “And it is about patient safety the government was paying incentive payments — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ to ensure without getting ljworld.com or 832-7187. what it paid for.”

First Oktoberfest Lawrence setting the wunderbar

I

f you missed out on last month’s Oktoberfest at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, you’re in luck: This weekend promises even more German food, beer and merrymaking when the inaugural Oktoberfest Lawrence takes place.

The Chamber and Downtown Lawrence Inc. are teaming up to host the event, slated for 3 to 9 p.m. Saturday at the Lawrence Public Library Civic Plaza, 707 Vermont St. Sally Zogry, director of Downtown Lawrence Inc., says the idea was originally discussed more than two years ago, when she and DLI board member Mike Logan considered the possibility of a fall event with a cultural element.

Oktoberfest, she says, stuck out to her because of our state’s widespread and celebrated German heritage — “you gotta have an Oktoberfest in Kansas,” Zogry says.

Zogry is expecting about 2,000 people at the inaugural Oktoberfest Lawrence, which will be held “rain or shine” at the library plaza.

It’ll include all the basic tenets of the traditional German celebration: a biergarten tent sponsored by Crown Volkswagen with around a dozen different varieties of beer plus wine, alpine music, and a Samuel Adams Stein Hoisting Competition in which contestants battle it out to see who can hold a stein filled with 32 ounces of beer the longest.

For those under 21, Oktoberfest Lawrence boasts

Out & About

Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

plenty of family-friendly fun, from a strolling stiltwalker to a vaudeville show to face painting.

Then, of course, there’s the food. The Burger Stand, Fine Thyme Food, Free State Brewing Co., Leeway Franks and Juice Stop will all be on hand with a variety of authentic German (or Germaninspired) treats for sale.

Meat lovers should have plenty of options, as you might expect — no shortage of bierocks, sausages and schnitzel here — but Zogry says vendors tried to incorporate more than a few vegetarian options as well.

Tickets for Oktoberfest Lawrence range from $10 to $20 (children under 12 get in free) and can be purchased in person at The Chamber, Downtown Lawrence Inc., The Granada Theater, Phoenix Gallery, Weaver’s department store or at the door the day of the event.

We just see a stage that’s suddenly flooded with deep, red light.

It’s minimal, but the very real horrors of domestic violence don’t need embellishing.

“Intimate partner violence is public health issue — it’s not just a private matter,” says playwright Tlaloc Rivas. “Because I’m an artist and a writer and a director, this is my way of trying to address the issue. I’m trying to tell a story that will call people to action in some way.”

“Johanna: Facing Forward” tells the extraordinary story of Johanna Orozco, who not only endured a sexual assault at the hands of her abusive exboyfriend but also a shattered jaw and disfigured face that she bravely refused to hide, even for the reporter and photojournalist who documented her recovery in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The series sparked a national movement against teen violence, and — along with Orozco’s journal entries — provided the basis for Rivas’ stage adaptation, which will be performed this weekend at KU’s Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.

IF YOU GO KU Theatre’s production of “Johanna: Facing Forward” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. today and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Crafton-Preyer Theatre at KU’s Murphy Hall, 1530 Naismith Drive.

Tickets are $18 for adults, $17 for seniors, KU faculty and staff, and $10 for children — though the production may not be appropriate for kids under high-school age.

Reserve seats at kutheatre.com or by calling 864-3982.

In telling Orozco’s story, Rivas says he meant to examine a number of questions raised by journalist Rachel Dissell in her original “Johanna: Facing Forward” series.

Namely, “How did this young girl, who was surrounded by love and protection from her family, still become victimized?” he says. “And how did our society fail to protect her?”

The play’s opening scene, Rivas says, is meant “to really plunge the audience into this moment” that changed Orozco’s life forever.

Told through flashbacks, “Johanna: Facing Forward” chronicles Orozco’s journey — from the sweet beginnings of her romance with Ruiz, to her recounting of the rape to a detective while being examined in the hospital, to her eventual confrontation of her assailant in an Ohio courtroom.

“There are so many victims of domestic violence, and Johanna’s one of the very few who survived,” says Rivas, a visiting artist with the KU theater department who’s also directing

the play. “Instead of retreating, she decided she needed to be a voice for the voiceless, for the countless others whose voices had been taken.”

Orozco’s evolution from victim to educator and activist led to the passing of a bill known as Shynerra’s Law in 2010. The legislation gives Ohio Juvenile Court judges the ability to order protective issues to teenagers in abusive relationships, a resource that didn’t exist when Ruiz allegedly raped Orozco after their break-up in 2007 and then shot her pointblank just a few weeks later.

Murphy Hall is only the second venue to stage “Johanna,” which debuted just over four months ago at the Cleveland Public Theatre.

It’s been a “great” experience so far for Rivas, who will lead an audience discussion with Dissell after Saturday night’s performance.

Rivas said he’d like to bring “Johanna” to other universities — where one in four women are sexually assaulted during their college careers — after its run at KU. Orozco, now living in Germany with her husband and young son, suggested Rivas even take the play overseas to her new country.

“Which is really extraordinary,” he says, “Because that’s how far her story has reached in terms of people around the world hearing about her story journey from victim to survivor.”

As for where the play goes next, “any community in the United States, or around the world,” but hopefully, Rivas says, somewhere he hasn’t been yet.

Autopsy: Wife of man charged with child rape died by suicide

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Autopsy findings released Thursday reveal that the death of the wife of a Lawrence man charged with two counts of child rape was caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Angela Ellis, 38, of Lawrence, was found

dead in the single-wide trailer home she shared with husband William Ellis Jr., 39, on July 30.

He was arrested five days prior on suspicion of raping two girls under the age of 10 who had attended a makeshift daycare at the Ellis home for about a year and a half.

An arrest affidavit in the case alleged Angela Ellis

walked in on the most recent of William Ellis’ alleged sexual encounters with one of the girls.

Angela Ellis’ autopsy noted she had sought treatment for depression from Lawrence Memorial Hospital the day of her husband’s arrest.

Receipts indicated she purchased the handgun and ammunition that

killed her on the day before she was discovered dead.

She was listed as a witness on the case when charges first were filed.

It is unclear whether or how her death could affect the prosecution of William Ellis’ case. According to his arrest affidavit, he has confessed to the crimes before law

Friend should get help against abusive boyfriend Dear Annie: Two nights ago, I witnessed my best friend being verbally abused by her boyfriend. The boyfriend was drunk and probably doing something illegal.

I listened to him yell at her on the phone all night while we were supposed to be spending time together for her birthday. It was 3 a.m., and he was demanding that I pick him up on my way to take her home. I told him no.

I let my friend know that she can call me if she needs anything, and dropped her off at their house. Although I’m sure her boyfriend will eventually get himself arrested for violating his probation, I feel it is up to me to report him.

But if I do, I will lose her friendship. Should I turn him in for the sake of my friend’s safety or mind

The former “Tonight Show” host returns the favor, guest-starring as Joe, a car buff who continually invades Mike’s garage and sanctuary on tonight’s “Last Man Standing” (7 p.m., ABC).

Both Allen and Leno are wellknown for their devotion to cars and their vast collections of classics. Allen specializes in American muscle cars from Detroit.

While no stranger to guest spots, Leno’s appearance is somewhat rare in that he’s playing a character not named Jay Leno, or loosely based on his “Tonight Show” host persona.

Most of Leno’s acting jobs have been of the cartoon voice-over variety. In “Cars,” he even voiced a character named Jay Limo.

With Halloween arriving next weekend, scary stuff abounds. The supernatural thriller “Hemlock Grove” returns for its third and final season on Netflix. All 10 episodes premiere today.

AMC continues to celebrate the ghoulish with “Halloween II” (6:30 p.m.) and “Day of the Dead” (9 p.m.).

EDITORIALS

Wind delay Douglas County has kept moratoriums on wind power development in place for more than two years. It’s time to get some regulations on the books.

O

fficials seem to be taking an unreasonably long time to develop regulations for wind power in Douglas County.

A moratorium on wind power development was put into place nearly two years ago after a renewable energy development company sought to install wind turbines in the southwest corner of the county. Commissioners said at the time that the county needed some time to refine the county regulations for such operations. The first moratorium on wind development ran from December 2013 through April 30, 2014. The moratorium has been extended several times since then, including this week, with commissioners extending it once again — until July 2016.

Eileen Horn, the county’s sustainability coordinator, said the latest extension would give the county time to accomplish several tasks. The county, she said, needs to develop a two-tiered system to differentiate between small turbines for personal use and large commercial wind farms, to better define the application process in cooperation with the city of Lawrence and to specify any geographic restrictions that might be applied to wind energy projects.

Those are all reasonable issues to consider, but why couldn’t they have been addressed two years ago? Horn says the sustainability office now hopes to have new zoning and code regulations written, heard publicly and adopted by April or May. Why has it taken so long?

It’s unknown whether the developer that originally approached Douglas County two years ago still is interested in doing a project here or has moved on because of the delays. The repeated moratoriums had to be discouraging to that firm and any other potential wind power developers. That might or might not have been the county’s intent.

Hopefully, the county will meet its latest deadline to craft wind power regulations — and those regulations will reflect the input of various stakeholders, including landowners and wind power developers. It’s reasonable to have some regulations in place, but it’s unfair to keep extending a moratorium rather than setting workable guidelines for wind power projects in Douglas County.

GOP unsure of proper judicial role Washington — A supremely important presidential issue is being generally neglected because Democrats have nothing interesting to say about it and Republicans differ among themselves about it.

Four Supreme Court justices are into the fourth quarters of their potential centuries — Stephen Breyer (77), Antonin Scalia (79), Anthony Kennedy (79), and Ruth Bader Ginsburg (82). So, presidential candidates should explain the criteria by which they would select judicial nominees.

Regarding jurisprudence, Democrats are merely resultoriented, interested in guaranteeing three outcomes: Expanding government’s power to prevent protection of unborn babies, expanding government’s power to regulate speech about the government (“campaign finance reform”) and expanding government’s power to discriminate for the benefit of certain government-preferred groups (“race-based remedies”).

Republicans cannot speak their minds about the judicial supervision of democracy because their minds are unsettled. Fortunately, they are being urged, by thinkers like Randy Barnett, to adopt a vocabulary that is disconcerting to conservatives who have grown lazily comfortable with rhetorical boilerplate in praise of “judicial restraint.”

Barnett, a professor at Georgetown’s law school, recently took to a place that needs it — the University of California, Berkeley — this message: “The judicial passiv-

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

Hobbesians say the American principle is the right of the majority to have its way. … Lockeans say the Constitution … circumscribes the majoritarian principle by protecting all rights that are crucial to individual sovereignty.” ism of the Supreme Court has combined with the activism of both congresses and presidents to produce a behemoth federal government, which seemingly renders the actual Constitution a mere relic, rather than the governing document it purports to be.”

In his lecture “Is the Constitution Libertarian?” Barnett acknowledged that in many respects American life “feels freer” than ever, and that we have more choices about living as we wish. In many other ways, however, the sphere of freedom is too constricted, and individual rights are too brittle, because for decades America’s Lockeans have been losing ground to Hobbesians:

“The Lockeans are those for whom individual liberty is their first principle of social ordering, while the Hobbesians are those who give the highest priority to government power to provide social order and to pursue social ends.”

Not all Hobbesians are progressives, but all progressives are Hobbesians in that they say America is dedicated to a process — majoritarian decision-making that legitimates the government power it endorses. Not all Lockeans are libertarians, but all libertarians are Lockeans who say America is dedicated to a condition — liberty. It is, as Lincoln said, dedicated to the proposition that all persons are equal in possession of natural rights.

Lockeans favor rigorous judicial protection of certain individual rights — especially private property and freedom of contract — that define and protect the zone of sovereignty within which people are free to act as they please.

Hobbesians say the American principle is the right of the majority to have its way. Last year, 54 Democratic senators (including two so-called “Independents”), Hobbesians all, voted to amend the First Amendment (“Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech”) to empower majoritarian government to regulate the quantity, content and timing of political speech.

Lockeans say the Constitution, properly construed and enforced by the judiciary, circumscribes the majoritar-

ian principle by protecting all rights that are crucial to individual sovereignty. Lockeans say the Constitution codifies the Declaration of Independence, which, in its most neglected word, says governments are instituted to “secure” natural rights.

Government, says Barnett, serves liberty when its regulations “coordinate individual conduct as do, for example, traffic regulations mandating driving on one side of the street or the other.” Lockeans say that our natural rights only some of which are enumerated in the Constitution, place on government the heavy burden of justifying restrictions of these rights. And, Barnett argues, a nonpassive, properly engaged judiciary bears the burden of saying when the government has not justified its restrictions as necessary and proper.

Today, Democrats’ intraparty arguments are dull as ditchwater because they concern nothing fundamental, only how rapidly and broadly to expand Hobbesian government’s redistributive and regulatory reach. Republican presidential aspirants must be forced to join their party’s intramural argument about the judiciary’s proper function. Then we can distinguish the Lockean constitutionalists from the merely rhetorical conservatives whose reflexive praise of “judicial restraint” serves the progressives’ Hobbesian project of building an ever-larger Leviathan.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 23, 1915: years “A motor car ago tourist bound for IN 1915 Kansas City had a narrow escape at a Union Pacific crossing near Mud Creek this morning. He failed to notice the approach of the east bound 9 o’clock train and had just started upon the track when the train reached the crossing. The front wheels of his car were smashed. The driver of the car escaped injury.”

Ruling spurs new efforts to curb voting

Letters Policy

Journal-World

7A

In the 28 months since the U.S. Supreme Court decided a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act was no longer necessary, several states have confirmed critics’ warnings that the decision would prompt new efforts to curb voting, especially by minorities the law sought to protect.

In Texas, officials put a strict voter ID law into effect the very day the court ruled.

It remains under legal challenge after an appeals court ruled that it discriminates against minorities. In North Carolina, a new law reduced early voting and eliminated a program encouraging 18-year-olds to register.

But a ham-handed move

by Alabama officials recently made the case better than can all the lawyers in the world.

Citing budgetary reasons, they closed 31 motor vehicle offices, the main place to obtain the drivers’ licenses used as voter IDs, including those in every county where blacks make up more than 75 percent of registered voters. The action sparked such a backlash, Gov. Robert Bentley backtracked — though minimally — by reopening the offices one day a month.

Texas, North Carolina and Alabama are not alone.

Since 2011, 21 states have tightened voting restrictions, all but one with Republican governors or legislators. They include nine of the 11 Southern states, where

increased minority voting in 2008 and 2012 either helped Barack Obama win the presidency or increased Democratic chances in states that had been voting Republican.

Other states have taken different steps to change voting procedures. Oregon and California, which vote mainly Democratic, made it easier for unregistered voters to vote by adopting laws that automatically register citizens when they get or renew their driver’s licenses or state identification cards.

This difference underscores the degree to which voting laws have become a

partisan issue, in contrast to the bipartisan majorities that initially passed the Voting Rights Act and supported its renewal as recently as 2006. It will be a major difference between next year’s presidential nominees.

Republicans are trying to make voting harder, establishing tests beyond citizenship and residence that would reduce participation by minorities and younger voters more likely to vote Democratic. Their motivation, they say, is to prevent voter fraud, despite minimal evidence it’s a problem.

And GOP lawmakers — backed by the party’s presidential candidates — have refused to join Democrats in supporting efforts to restore the Justice Department’s authority with updated criteria to review in advance proposed voting law changes in states with a history of discrimination. That’s the provision the Supreme Court invalidated.

So far, GOP efforts are succeeding. A study by four liberal-leaning groups showed voter turnout dropped between 2010 and 2014 in four of five Southern states, “likely due, at least in part, to these laws making it harder to vote in 2014.” In North Carolina, where several restrictions took effect in 2014, exit polls showed the ratio of white voters to black voters was 74-21, compared with 70-23 in 2012,

a small but significant shift in a closely contested state.

Democrats, meanwhile, want to encourage larger turnouts, at least partially because they think that will mean increased voting by Democratic-leaning groups, such as younger voters and minorities.

But voting should not be a partisan issue. After all, what is a more basic aspect of democracy than encouraging the greatest possible participation by its citizens?

Unsurprisingly, much of the restrictive effort is in the South, where a history of limiting voting on racial grounds was why many states there were singled out by the 1965 law’s requirement for Justice Department pre-clearance of voting law changes.

Meanwhile, advocates of stricter voting standards keep looking for examples of voter fraud.

In Kansas, Republican Secretary of State Kris Kobach told Congress the problem of illegal voting by illegal immigrants and other non-citizens “is a massive one nationwide” that he has “seen firsthand in Kansas.”

Last week he filed criminal charges against three people accused of voting both there and in a neighboring state.

All three were elderly Republicans — and citizens.

U.S. soldier killed; first combat death in Iraq in 4 years Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

WASHINGTON A U.S. servicemember died after a commando raid Thursday freed about 70 hostages believed to face imminent execution by Islamic State fighters in northern Iraq, the Pentagon said.

The soldier’s death marked the first American combat death in Iraq in four years and raises the issue of deepening U.S. involvement on the ground there, something President Obama and the Pentagon have routinely ruled out.

Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook insisted that U.S. participation in the firefight did not indicate a shift in U.S. policy, calling the circumstances leading to the raid unique. “U.S. forces are not in an active combat mission in Iraq,” he said.

Eric Schultz, Obama’s deputy press secretary, rejected the notion that the United States was returning to a ground combat role. “Our mission in Iraq has focused and has narrowed. And the president has made the determination that our men and women over there will not be serving in a combat role,” he said.

Kurdish commandos and U.S. special operations forces conducted the raid, which came at the request of the Kurdish regional government, Cook said.

The American was wounded in the raid and later died from his wounds, Cook said. The 70 hostages, including 20 members of the Iraqi security forces, were released. Five fighters from the Islamic State, also known as ISIL, were captured, Cook said. U.S. forces recovered intelligence from the militants’ camp near the northern town of Hawija, he said.

American helicopters swooped the special operators to the site, Cook said. The plan had been for about 30 U.S. special operations soldiers to advise a similar number of Kurdish commandos on the raid, a senior Defense Department official said. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about details of the mission.

Four mass graves had been dug in the compound where the hostages were held, and they were told they would be killed after morning prayers, the official said.

“It is always a tragedy when we lose one of our own,” said Army Col. Steve Warren, a military spokesman in Baghdad. “In the end, we saved 70 people from execution that was planned in a few hours.”

Survey finds high school kids tired, stressed and bored Feelings could extend beyond classroom Greg Toppo USA TODAY

When they’re at school, the kids are decidedly not all right.

New survey findings suggest that when asked how they feel during the school day, U.S. high school students consistently invoke three key feelings: “tired,” “stressed” and “bored.”

The researcher who led the study warns that such negative feelings can influence young peo-

ple’s attention, memory, decision making, school performance and social lives.

“It’s hard to concentrate and it’s hard to do well in school if your brain is having a stressed response,” said Marc Brackett, a researcher in the Yale University Department of Psychology and director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence.

The new findings, out Friday, are from a survey conducted in collaboration with the Born This Way Foundation, the charitable organization founded by the singer Lady Gaga. The survey was supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

A survey finds that high school students are stressed out.

The student sample is huge: 22,000 high school students from across the USA. The message is clear: Our high schoolers are none too happy, at least when they’re in school.

“It’s hard to concentrate and it’s hard to do well in school if your brain is having a stressed response.”

Marc Brackett, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence

Researchers distributed a brief online questionnaire that asked, “How do you currently feel in school?” Three blank spaces followed, leaving room for any answers they felt were appropriate.

Eight of the top 10 responses were negative. “Tired” was most often invoked — 39% of students wrote that. “Stressed” came in second, at 29%. “Bored” was third, at 26%.

The most frequently invoked positive emotions were “happy” (22%) and “excited (4.7%).

Parents and educators should be alarmed by the findings, Brackett said.

“I think they point to the fact that we need to be attending to the feelings of our nation’s youth,” he said. “Unless what they’re learning is engaging and interesting, they’re going to be bored.”

Trump says he’ll tone it down ‘a little bit’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

wait until the next president is poised to take over. uHe says House Speaker John Boehner foolishly threw away negotiating leverage with the White House by declaring that Congress wouldn’t allow the United States to default on its debt next month.

“I would use the debt limit to negotiate a great deal” to control spending, he says. “How can you do that if you’ve already announced that you’re not going to violate the debt?”

Trump declares, as he has before, that he is a world-class negotiator and a proven dealmaker, a product of the nation’s finest schools and a very rich man.

It is increasingly hard to deny that the 69-year-old celebrity billionaire is also a credible Republican presidential nominee.

Trump agrees that the 2016 campaign is moving into a different phase. He’s not sure what impact an expected deluge of attack ads financed by other campaigns, super-PACs and advocacy groups will have, although he notes that the competitors who have taken him on in the past have seen their support drop.

He says he’s tempering his language because he no longer needs to be quite as bombastic as he was at the start of his unconventional campaign.

“You know, before, we had 17 people (running), and we were all

out there fighting, and I had people out there hitting me,” he says.

Now, “we’re so far out in front that there’s no reason to be quite the way we were, and I do want to tone it down a little bit.”

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former New York governor George Pataki and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum.

“I think it’s an embarrassment to the party when Bobby Jindal gets up on stage and when Pataki, who has zero,” he says. “You look at Lindsey Graham; it’s very sad.

Lindsey Graham, he’s a sitting senator. He’s at zero. And you have a number of zeros, and I would think they should get on with their life and go back home.”

NO BACKING DOWN

That doesn’t seem to be a risk.

In the interview with Capital Download, Trump doesn’t back down from his criticism of former president George W. Bush for failing to respond more effectively to intelligence warnings of the threat from Osama bin Laden before the deadly Sept. 11 attacks in 2001. Indeed, he expands the critique to include former president Bill Clinton.

“They both carry responsibility,” he tells the weekly video newsmaker series, calling their administrations’ policies on immigration “very lax” and their focus on bin Laden inadequate.

“Certainly Clinton managed to mention the name in a speech, Osama bin Laden, and he didn’t do anything about it,” Trump says. “Certainly it’s something that could have been stopped if they had gone that extra mile.”

(In 1997, Clinton did order airstrikes on al-Qaeda targets in Afghanistan and Sudan for the bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya.)

though he lacks traditional credentials for the job. He scoffs at the idea that former Florida governor Jeb Bush or Florida Sen. Marco Rubio would make a more effective negotiator with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

This week, Bush wrote an oped article in National Review charging that Trump’s “bluster overcompensates for a shocking lack of knowledge on the complex national-security challenges that will confront the next president

of the United States” and calling his views “dangerous.”

“Well, I think I know more about national security than he does,” Trump says. “I think that I would be far more respected by people who run countries, whether it’s Putin or you go to China or you go anywhere. We’d have a far more respected administration and a far more respected country.”

As he prepares for the third Republican debate next week, Trump says it’s time for those who can’t make the threshold of 3% support in national polls to close their campaigns. That category would include South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham,

Trump has held the lead longer than the string of up-and-down contenders in 2012 — Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich — and has held it more consistently than Mitt Romney, who became the nominee.

He has tapped a deep well of dissatisfaction with politicians and politics. During the interview, the sound of several thousand supporters massed in the Burlington Memorial Auditorium can be heard chanting his name.

He has won their backing, he points out, without deploying much of his personal wealth. “I have put up almost nothing, actually zero, in advertising. It’s an actual zero,” he says. “I would have thought that I would have had (spent) between $20 and $25 million now. I’ve spent nothing. At the right time, I’ll probably do advertising.

“So far, I haven’t needed it.”

Clinton blasted on leadership in Libya operation Mary Troyan USA TODAY

Former secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s testimony before a House committee on Thursday provided insights into her management decisions before the terrorist attacks in Benghazi in 2012. But partisanship, not proof of conspiracy by Clinton, was the dominant theme.

Clinton defended her record against allegations that she engineered the U.S. intervention in Libya just to boost her political WASHINGTON

Republicans insist investigation is not about politics Heidi M Przybyla USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Hillary Clinton’s testimony before a special House committee investigating terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, offered plenty of partisan fireworks but lacked a smoking gun.

Democrats and Republicans jousted from the start over whether the probe is an independent fact-finding mission or an effort to smear Clinton as she campaigns for the Democratic presidential nomination. Clinton largely left it to her Democratic allies on the panel to try to discredit the committee’s work as political.

Tensions built during the first three hours of her testimony as Trey Gowdy of South Carolina pressed Clinton on advice she may have gotten from confidant Sidney Blumenthal regarding U.S. policy in Libya. He wasn’t alone in raising his voice at Clinton, who avoided responding in kind.

Gowdy had hoped to avoid such made-for-television drama as his panel faces scrutiny after remarks by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., tying the committee’s work to a decline in Clinton’s poll numbers.

“If it’s chaos, it benefits Hillary Clinton,” said Republican pollster Frank Luntz, who attended the hearing. “Then it’s not a clear outcome. Republicans have to prove a smoking gun, and that’s very difficult.”

Gowdy tried from the outset to cast the panel’s work as not focused on politics or Clinton’s use of a private email server at the State Department. “Not a single member of this committee signed up to investigate you or your email,” he said in his opening statement.

Clinton’s campaign was quick to shoot down the idea that he had succeeded in removing politics from Thursday’s hearing.

Spokesman Brian Fallon referred to McCarthy’s remarks, as well as recent comments by Rep. Richard Hanna, R-N.Y., who said the panel is politically motivated.

Gowdy “had a high bar to disprove those statements,” Fallon

standing, then failed to make sure her diplomats were safe.

Republicans, led by chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, say they exposed shortcomings in Clinton’s leadership of the State Department, but there was no smoking-gun moment proving Clinton orchestrated any attempt to cover up misconduct.

Clinton’s controversial decision to use a personal email account for official business came up late in the hearing when Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, accused her of hiding documents.

“If your story about your

emails keeps changing, how can we accept the statement that you’ve turned over all your workrelated emails and emails about Libya?” he asked.

Clinton repeated that the private email system was a mistake, but said “email was not my primary means of communication.”

Thursday’s public hearing, the fourth one the Benghazi committee has held since it was created 18 months ago, was still going at 8:45 p.m. Republicans pressed Clinton on poor security at the State Department’s outpost in Benghazi, despite rising violence

and requests for more protection.

Four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed when terrorists overran the outpost Sept. 11, 2012.

Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., accused Clinton of shunning requests to increase security in Benghazi because that would have amounted to an admission that the situation in Libya was deteriorating after Clinton had argued strongly for intervening there.

“You got it wrong, congressman,” Clinton said. “I absolutely did not forget about Libya after

Gadhafi fell.”

Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, RGa., questioned why Stevens’ requests for additional security — which were mostly rejected — weren’t reviewed by Clinton personally. “He took his requests to where they belong — to the security professionals,” Clinton said.

Rep. Jordan accused Clinton of misleading the American people by trying to downplay the terrorism angle for political reasons before the 2012 presidential election. “You knew the truth, and that is not what the American people got,” Jordan said.

Reps. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., and Elijah Cummings, D-Md., wait for the arrival of Hillary Clinton on Thursday. said. The focus on Blumenthal is “hurting his (Gowdy’s) own ability to disprove this is political.”

Republicans relied on recently obtained emails from Clinton’s private email server in asking about topics that ranged from U.S. motivations for intervening in Libya to whether Clinton was adequately informed of the deteriorating security situation on the ground before the attacks Sept.

11, 2012, in Benghazi. They hammered her about her lack of knowledge about U.S. diplomats’ requests for backup security — a point Republicans are likely to continue to pursue.

Democrats repeatedly emphasized that the panel is politically motivated. They stressed the findings of previous panels that she did not order a stand-down or approve or deny additional

security.

The committee is a taxpayerfunded “fishing expedition” trying to “derail Secretary Clinton’s presidential campaign,” said Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the committee.

That message may overpower the most probing Republican questions, Luntz said. “Americans have said in polling they want to move on,” he said.

Monmouth University Polling Institute released findings Wednesday that showed a majority of Americans agree with Democrats: The committee’s work is primarily focused on politics. Fifty-two percent of those polled said the House Benghazi probe is most concerned about targeting Clinton than in ascertaining answers about the terror attacks.

During many of the exchanges, Clinton sat expressionless, hands clasped to her chin. That’s in contrast to her Senate testimony in 2013 in which she yelled and waved her arms in response to a sharp line of questioning from Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. She said her goal in appearing at Thursday’s hearing was to honor the four Americans killed in the

attacks on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Libya and to look forward, though she implied she was called before the committee for political reasons.

“I’m sorry that it doesn’t fit your narrative, congressman,” she told Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.

“I can only tell you what the facts are.”

If the final verdict on Clinton’s Benghazi hearing performance ends up positive for her, it could be the latest boost to her campaign this month. Last week, she was the winner of the first presidential debate. Wednesday, Vice President Biden announced he would not challenge her for the Democratic nomination, leaving Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist, her main threat.

Republicans raised “serious questions about a potential coverup,” said Rep. Gary Palmer, RAla., who attended. “There was indeed an effort to mislead the American people initially.”

“This has been so overhyped on both sides,” said former Republican congressman Tom Davis. Even so, Davis said, he made a special trip to attend. “This is high drama,” he said.

GNC accused of selling spiked products

MAN IN ‘STAR WARS’ MASK TERRORIZES SWEDISH SCHOOL

Alison Young USA TODAY

GNC, one of the world’s largest retailers of dietary supplements, has knowingly sold products spiked with two synthetic drugs, according to internal company records and a lawsuit filed Thursday by Oregon’s attorney general.

The suit accuses GNC of selling thousands of units of 22 workout and fat-burner supplement products that contained picamilon, a prescription drug in Russia used to treat neurological conditions.

Internal company records show a key GNC official knew as far back as 2007 the ingredient wasn’t natural, Rosenblum the suit alleges, and therefore could not lawfully be included in dietary supplements, which can only contain natural ingredients.

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum also accuses the GNC of selling workout and weightloss supplements that contained a synthetic amphetamine-like chemical known as BMPEA and by other names. Among evidence of wrongdoing, the Rosenblum’s office cites emails circulated two years ago among GNC executives in the wake of a 2013 USA TODAY article about BMPEA in supplements. “The USA Today article stimulated significant concern and discussion within GNC,” the suit says, yet the company continued to sell products containing BMPEA until earlier this year.

GNC said the attorney general’s claims are without merit.

“GNC intends to vigorously defend against these allegations,” the company said. “In response to FDA statements regarding ...

BMPEA and picamilon, GNC promptly took action to remove from sale all products containing those ingredients.” GNC stopped selling BMPEA products in April and products with picamilon in September, the lawsuit says.

People light candles and place flowers on the ground after a masked man wielding a sword went on a rampage at the school in Trollhattan, Sweden, on Thursday. The attacker, 21, was gunned down by police. The school serves preschoolers to high school.

Attacker uses sword to kill student, teacher Jane Onyanga-Omara and Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

A man wearing a Darth Vaderlike mask and armed with a sword went on a rampage at a Swedish elementary school Thursday, killing a teacher and a student. The attacker died of gunshot wounds inflicted by police who rushed to the scene.

The teacher died at the school; the student died at a nearby hospital. Police spokesman Thord Haraldsson said the 21-year-old attacker was fatally shot in the chest by police who responded to the attack at the Kronan school in Trollhattan, near Goteborg, Sweden’s second-largest city.

Trollhattan is about 260 miles west-southwest of Stockholm.

“This is a black day for Sweden,” said Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, who rushed to Trollhattan, a town of about 50,000 people. “I think of the victims and their families, students and staff and the whole of the affected community. No words can de-

scribe what they are going through right now.”

Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf said the Scandinavian country “is in AFP/GETTY IMAGES shock” after Photo taken the stabbings.

In a statement, by a student the king said at the school the royal fam- shows the ily received the masked man. “with news great dismay and sadness.”

The incident erupted midmorning in a cafe section of the school, which serves about 500 students ranging from preschool to high school. The attacker appeared in the hallway dressed in black and wearing a Darth Vaderlike mask from Star Wars.

Haraldsson said the masked attacker knocked on the doors of two classrooms and stabbed people who opened them. Student Laith Alazze, 14, told Sweden’s TV4 that at first, he thought the masked man had something to do with Halloween.

The newspaper Dagens Nyheter published a photo of two students posing with the

perpetrator moments before the attack. “One of my friends walked over to him to challenge him, but when we saw he stabbed him (the teacher), we ran away,” Alazze said.

At least four people were in-

jured, including an 11-year-old and 15-year-old, Niklas Claesson, head of communication at the NU Hospital Group, told the Expressen newspaper.

Thomas Fuxborg, police spokesman in Gotaland, said the attacker wore a black mask and was armed with a sword and other knife-like weapons. He said the attacker “moved around inside the classrooms at the school,” Expressen reported.

Haraldsson said the assailant was not known to authorities, and police searched his home and found things “that are interesting for the investigation.”

Swedish media said the school held a meeting earlier Thursday to discuss teachers’ concerns that the grounds were too open. The school could not control who entered a cafe for adults, the Associated Press reported. The Dagens Nyheter newspaper said students must go through the cafe to reach the school’s own cafeteria and other parts of the building.

In the town of Hortlax, about 500 miles north of Stockholm, police cordoned off a school Thursday afternoon after a man was seen cycling nearby while swinging an ax, Aftonbladet reported.

Paul Ryan officially declares candidacy for House speaker Gets support from 3 major GOP factions Deirdre Shesgreen USA TODAY

Rep. Paul Ryan officially announced his bid Thursday night to become the next House speaker after securing backing from the three major political factions inside the House GOP conference.

“I never thought I’d be speaker,” Ryan wrote in a letter to his WASHINGTON

Republican colleagues. “But I pledged to you that if I could be a unifying figure, then I would serve — I would go all in.

After talking GETTY IMAGES with so many of U.S. Rep. Paul you, and hearRyan, R-Wis. ing your words of encouragement, I believe we are ready to move forward as one, united team. And I am ready and eager to be our speaker.”

The Wisconsin Republican snapped up endorsements from a centrist Republican caucus called the Tuesday Group as well as from the more conservative Republican Study Committee (RSC).

“After hearing Paul lay out his vision for the future of the Republican conference, I am confident that he is the right person to lead the House,” Rep. Bill Flores, chairman of the RSC, said in a statement Thursday. “He has the policy expertise, conservative principles and strong values we need in our next speaker.”

The endorsements came after

Ryan won support from most members of the House Freedom Caucus — a group of about 40 hard-line conservatives — late Wednesday night.

“I’ve spoken with many of you over the past few days, and I can sense the hunger in our conference to get to work,” Ryan wrote.

“I know many of you want to show the country how to fix our tax code, how to rebuild our military, how to strengthen the safety net, and how to lift people out of poverty. I know you’re willing to work hard and get it done, and I think this moment is ripe for real

reform.”

Ryan, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and the 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee, said Tuesday he would run for the job if he got support from all GOP factions. He gave his colleagues until Friday to decide whether to support him.

He had repeatedly said he did not want the job but was pressed to run by Republicans who see him as the best candidate to unite the GOP conference.

“Whatever our differences, we’re all conservatives,” Ryan wrote in his letter.

IN BRIEF OBAMA VETOES DEFENSE BILL IN SPENDING SHOWDOWN

President Obama made good on his threat to veto a $612 billion defense policy bill Thursday, bringing the fight over domestic spending into the realm of national security.

Obama said the National Defense Authorization Act fell “woefully short” because it kept across-the-board budget cuts in place, blocked needed military changes and prohibited him from closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Obama’s main objection is that the bill anticipates offbudget spending to increase the defense budget without increasing domestic spending first. The president wants Congress to lift automatic budget caps included in a 2011 budget agreement.

“The president has vowed to veto it. Why? Because he wants to stop and spend more money on his domestic agenda,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday.

Republicans say without the bill, defense programs will be delayed.

For $1 million chip champ, it’s all gravy Olivia Lewis

SOUTH CAROLINA Anderson: A Sheriff’s Office K-9 was shot to death after a carjacking, and at least two suspects were being sought in a manhunt here, The Greenville News reported.

The Indianapolis Star

Those potato chips just won Hailey Green a lot of cabbage.

The Noblesville woman submitted an idea for Southern biscuits and gravy flavored potato chips for the Lay’s “Do Us a Flavor” Contest, and according to a Wednesday news release from PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay division, she won. Green is guaranteed $1 million or 1% of her winning flavor’s net sales through mid-July 2016 — whichever amount is higher.

Green, a 25-year-old travel agent, said she got the idea from an old family recipe. “My family was kind of like, ‘OK, this tastes good with breakfast potatoes; this would taste good on a potato chip,’ ” she told The Indianapolis Star in July.

Green said then that if she won, she would use the prize money to pay off her student loans and travel.

Efforts to reach her Wednesday were unsuccessful.

The potato chip company earlier this year announced Green was one of four finalists.

The public was encouraged to vote for a favorite flavor through social media using hashtags like #VoteBiscuits.

The other finalist flavors were Kettle Cooked Greektown Gyro, Wavy West Coast Truffle

Fries and New York Reuben.

Lay’s introduced the consumer-submitted flavor contest in the United States in 2012 and has had 25 million submissions. This was the first year the snack company asked fans to include their region and inspiration with their submission.

“As we bring this year’s com-

petition to a close, one thing is certain: America is a country full of amazing flavors,” said Jeff Klein, vice president of marketing, Frito-Lay North America. “We congratulate Hailey on her victory and all of the fans who will continue to enjoy this winning flavor on store shelves.”

COMPARING EARNINGS GROWTH McDonald’s diluted earnings per share before extraordinary items growth is taking off, while it’s sagging at Chipotle.

@mattkrantz USA TODAY

60%

McDonald’s is getting its McRevenge.

After years of being chastised for not being hip and fast-growing like burrito chain Chipotle, McDonald’s has turned the tables and is now the fast-casual stock investors crave. Shares of McDonald’s were up about 8% to more than $110 Thursday — making it a driving force of the Dow — and a stark contrast with the performance at Chipotle.

Why the sudden halo on the Golden Arches? McDonald’s just nailed the third quarter, delivering adjusted quarterly profit of $1.40 a share, which topped expectations by 9.4%, S&P Capital IQ says. Contrast that with investors’ big disappointment with Chipotle’s third-quarter results that missed by nearly 1%. And get this: McDonald’s diluted earnings per share before extraordinary items soared 28.4% during the third quarter, topping the growth at Chipotle by the same measure at 10.6%, S&P Capital IQ says.

It’s not just one lucky quarter, either. McDonald’s profit growth metrics have been improving while Chipotle’s have been sag-

ging. McDonald’s diluted earnings per share before extraordinary items have grown the past two quarters while it has sagged in the past four at Chipotle.

Investors seem to be getting a bigger taste for McDonald’s, as the burger chain’s stock has topped Chipotle this year, too.

Shares of McDonald’s are up more than 17% this year while Chipotle’s are down 3.3%. The relationship between the two companies is fascinating: It’s a classic matchup between a massive company adapting to new tastes vs. a smaller firm that’s trendy with in-

vestors and consumers. McDonald’s was an early investor in Chipotle, making the contrast that much sweeter.

The food fight isn’t over yet.

McDonald’s still lacks revenue growth, which will be a key ingredient investors need before pronouncing the food fight over.

Revenue sank 5.3% during the quarter, an improvement from the 9.5% drop in the second quarter, but still down. Chipotle, by comparison, put up 12.2% revenue growth in the third quarter.

But at least now Ronald McDonald really does have something to smile about.

The Dow is now trading at its highest level since Aug. 18.

The blue-chip gauge’s last 300-plus point gain came Oct. 5.

2014 close of 2,058.90.

The Nasdaq composite rose 80 points, or 1.7%, to 4,920.

Thursday was a busy day for earnings, with Dow component Caterpillar missing earnings-pershare forecasts by 3 cents, although investors shrugged off the miss, pushing the stock up 2.9% to $70.88. That earnings miss was offset, however, by a solid earnings beat from McDonald’s, another Dow stock, which topped earnings forecasts by 13 cents.

The burger and fries giant also beat revenue forecasts, sparking a big rally in McDonald’s shares.

Also giving stocks a boost: The European Central Bank hinted that more stimulus might be on the way later this year to offset economic weakness caused by the fallout of slowing growth in China and emerging markets.

The S&P 500 was also helped by news that the Freedom Caucus (hard-line conservatives in Congress) would support Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan for speaker, which is viewed as a constructive development in the debt ceiling debate, Bespoke Investment Group told clients in an early-morning note.

Stocks were trending sharply higher in Europe, where the European Central Bank left interest rates unchanged and did not rule out more market stimulus. Germany’s DAX was up 2.5% and the CAC 40 in Paris was 2.3% higher.

ECB chief Mario Draghi said the ECB would reassess the financial situation in December.

Valeant shares continue to slump

9:30 a.m.

INDEX

Stocks surged Thursday as investors were encouraged by a supersized profit beat by fast-food giant McDonald’s and signals from European bankers that more stimulus may be on the way.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 321 points, or 1.9%, to 17,489, helped by a 8.1% gain in McDonald’s. The gains were held down by an earnings miss from financial services firm American Express, whose shares were down more than 5%. Heavy-equipment maker Caterpillar also fell shy of profit estimates, but its stock was up 2.9%.

The Dow is now trading at its highest level since Aug. 18. The blue-chip gauge’s last 300-plus point gain came Oct. 5.

Drugmaker denies fraud accusations Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International plunged again Thursday as a regulator called allegations surrounding the Canada-based drugmaker “worrying” and an analyst downgraded the stock.

After steeper intra-day drops, the shares closed down 7.37% at $109.87. The decline continued Wednesday’s rout that saw Valeant shares close down nearly 20%, erasing billions of dollars in market value.

The drop signaled continuing investor concern over a Wednesday report by short-seller Citron Research that focused on Valeant’s ties to a network of pharmacies and accused the company of creating “phantom accounts”

as part of a purported “fraud to create invoices to deceive the auditors and book revenue.”

The drugmaker denied the allegations, saying they “appear to be an attempt to manipulate the market in an effort to drive down Valeant’s stock price.” Valeant also said it would hold an investor conference call Monday to “lay out the facts.”

BMO Capital Markets nonetheless downgraded Valeant from Outperform to Market Perform with a target price of $141 per share. The report by the investment banking arm of Canada’s Bank of Montreal said it “cannot defend” Valeant’s financial ties to a network of specialty pharmacies that account for an estimated 10% of the drugmaker’s revenue.

“While other companies also use specialty pharmacies, the structure of Valeant’s network seems different,” wrote BMO Capital analyst Alex Arfaei. “Valeant’s structure may not be illegal, but we find it aggressive and questionable.”

BLOOMBERG VIA GETTY IMAGES

Valeant’s stock has fallen more than 25% in two days.

Despite Valeant’s effort to rebut the Citron charges, “there is residual uncertainty that may not be fully resolved unless there is an investigation,” Arfaei wrote.

The securities regulator for firms based in Canada’s Québec province is “watching very seriously the evolution of the situation,” Autorité Des Marchés Financiers spokesman Sylvain Théberge wrote in an email.

While he declined to comment on the charges, he added, “These allegations are, however, worrying, and our goal is to make sure that there was no negligence re-

garding our securities regulation.”

Separately, Valeant disclosed last week that federal prosecutors in Massachusetts and New York have subpoenaed the firm seeking information about its drug pricing and distribution policies, as well as how it helps patients pay for medications.

The new allegations involve Valeant’s Philidor RX Services unit, a Pennsylvania-based pharmacy that said it processes prescriptions and dispenses medications while providing administrative services to a network of other pharmacies. The network includes R&O Pharmacy, a California company suing Valeant over a $69 million payment invoice from the drugmaker.

Adding new information to the controversy, Philidor said it “does not currently have a direct equity ownership in R&O Pharmacy or the affiliated pharmacies but does have a contractual right to acquire the pharmacies now or in the future.”

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

After busting through a key price ceiling Thursday, the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index is now within striking distance of climbing back into the black for the year.

Back on Aug. 25, when the large-company stock index was down 12.4% from its May high, off more than 9% for the year, and suffering through its first 10% drop, or correction, in four years, few bulls expected the market to mount this type of comeback.

But the market has defied skeptics, many who argued that a major bear market was brewing.

Thursday, the S&P 500 climbed within four points, or less than two-tenths of a percentage point, of its 2014 close of

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

2,058.90. After rallying 34 points, or 1.7%, to 2,052.51, the benchmark index not only busted out above the 2,040 to 2,045 level that had been acting as a price ceiling for weeks, it also put Wall Street on notice that climbing back into the black for 2015 is more than just wishful thinking.

Thursday’s rally was driven by a surprisingly strong profit report from burger giant McDonald’s and hints from the European Central Bank that more stimulus could be on the way to boost flagging eurozone growth. Those drivers built on prior ones, namely the belief that the Federal Reserve will hold off on interest rate hikes until 2016 and the fact China’s economy did not implode.

Wall Street will be watching Friday to see if the market can get back into positive territory for the year. If it does, it will bolster the case for a year-end rally.

For investors, Amazon may be too richly priced Q: Is online retailer Amazon overvalued?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Amazon is the stock to beat. The online retailer is even eating Walmart’s lunch. Investors, though, need to know they’re paying a rich price for a company that seems unstoppable.

Shares of Amazon are up 82% this year through Thursday’s close, making it one of the best performers in the Standard & Poor’s 500. And that’s before investors saw how well the company did during the third quarter. The stock jumped roughly 10% in after-hours trading from Thursday’s closing price of $563.91.

It’s not just speculators piling in — the company’s fundamentals have been markedly better than expected for two consecutive quarters. Amazon reported an adjusted profit of 17 cents a share during the third quarter, beating expectations calling for a loss of 13 cents a share.

The second quarter was a similar story.

Amazon earned 19 cents a share on an adjusted basis, rather than losing 14 cents a share as expected.

Don’t think you’re the only one to notice, though. Amazon shares trade for 366 times expected 2015 adjusted profit, S&P Capital IQ says, making the stock richly priced even if it grows at 63% a year as expected.

New Constructs, which examines expected future cash flow, rates Amazon “dangerous.”

NHTSA may expand recall of Takata’s exploding air bags Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Automotive safety regulators may expand the largest vehicle recall in U.S. history as their probe into exploding air bags continues, officials said Thursday.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration officials also said they are considering forcing automakers to accelerate repairs of the air bags made by Japan’s Takata, a key industry supplier, which can rupture violently, hurlWASHINGTON

JEFF KOWALSKY, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

A worker removes a Takata inflator on a 2005 Honda Accord LX in Michigan.

ing shrapnel into drivers and passengers.

Ruptured Takata air bags have killed at least eight people, all in Honda vehicles, and injured 98, according to NHTSA. Investigators acknowledged that the exact cause of the exploding air bags remains a mystery, but their probe continues.

They have determined, however, that vehicles that have been operated in hot, humid climates for at least five years are most at risk. That suggests that climate is a contributing factor in the malfunctioning air bag inflators, regulators said.

In a new development, NHTSA said Thursday that it has expanded its investigation to include a side air bag inflator that has ruptured in accidents involving General Motors and VW vehicles.

The agency said it may hire an independent adviser to oversee the Takata fixes. At an informational hearing, NHTSA regulators revealed details of Takata’s ballistic testing. In those procedures, 450 out of 115,000 recalled inflators have exploded in lab tests.

Passenger-side air bags are 10 times as likely as driver air bags to rupture, regulators said, but they are less likely to cause

deaths or injuries. Regulators suspect that may be because front-seat passengers sit farther away from the air bag than drivers.

NHTSA administrator Mark Rosekind said at an informational hearing in Washington, D.C., that he would make a decision by Thanksgiving on whether to order faster recalls. The agency may also expand the number of vehicles and manufacturers involved in the recall.

“That’s part of what the investigation is looking at — whether or not we have to go further,” Rosekind says.

‘Storyteller’ is best sung softly CARRIE UNDERWOOD eegE Storyteller COUNTRY DOWNLOAD What I Never Knew I Always Wanted, Like I’ll Never Love You Again

Carrie Underwood sometimes seems a little too perfect for her own good, or at least for her material.

With her Barbie-doll looks and clean, strong soprano, the 2005 American Idol champ easily could have cast herself as a pop prom queen. But to her credit, Underwood, 32, has resisted that kind of pigeonholing from the start, stressing her country roots and tackling challenges such as a foray into musical theater broadcast live on national TV. In her recordings, Underwood has shown an attraction to characters whose lives hardly seem tidy or idyllic, from the avenging wife in the Martina McBride hit Independence Day to the avenged widow and mistress in Two Black Cadillacs from her last studio album, 2012’s Blown Away. On Underwood’s new Storyteller, out Friday, we’re introduced to another abused young woman who eventually offs her spouse, in the driving Church Bells.

We also meet a couple of Bonnie and Clyde wannabes in the aggressively seedy Choctaw County Affair, and a “devil in a satin dress” lures us through the charging, arena-ready twang of Renegade Runaway. In Mexico, Underwood imagines herself an outlaw, belting over crashing guitars; in the anthemic Smoke

Carrie Underwood’s new album, Storyteller, arrives Friday.

Break, she pays tribute to the regular folks who “sometimes ... need a stiff drink.”

There’s nothing disingenuous about these songs, several of which Underwood co-wrote. You want to cheer Underwood on, in fact, for trying to honor country music’s rich narrative tradition with original material.

But Storyteller offers too many clichés and too little opportunity for Underwood to cultivate her emotional range. She does feisty well enough, but there isn’t much to mine in a lyric such as “All the Ajax in the world ain’t gonna clean MORE MUSIC REVIEWS LIFE.USATODAY.COM

your dirty laundry” (from, yes, Dirty Laundry).

Underwood is at her most convincing, and winning, on the songs that seem to stem from personal contentment. Singing What I Never Knew I Always Wanted, an obvious ode to her husband and the child they welcomed earlier this year, Underwood finds truth in corn; her joy sparkles because it’s never forced or overstated.

Tenderness remains Underwood’s strongest suit, the one in which she can show off the clarity of her voice, and her sheer likability, without apology.

A kitchen remodel can add value without lots of cost

By Linda a. ditch

Lighting is one way to update your kitchen’s look without spending a lot of money.

Hometown Lawrence

The kitchen is the focal point of the home, and key to buyers when considering a purchase. If your kitchen looks worn or dated, there are ways to update the space without breaking the bank, though it may take a little elbow grease on your part.

Start by painting the walls.

A new color goes a long way in the looks department. To select the right color, take a cabinet drawer into the paint store with you to choose something that compliments the finish.

Cabinets can be painted or refinished to give the space a new look. The internet and home improvement centers can provide instructions on how to do this.

Neutral colors work best since too much color can make the kitchen look smaller. Plus, neutral

cabinets will allow for colorful accents in the backsplash, window treatments and other accessories.

If re-doing the cabinets seems too daunting a task, try changing out the existing hardware—knobs and drawer pulls—with modern ones.

Replacing or re-doing the countertops can also dramatically change the room’s look. Try budget-friendly laminate countertops made to look like granite or marble, but at a more affordable price. Painting a laminate countertop is another option. The result can be one sold color, or there are kits available to make countertop look like granite or other stone surfaces.

Instructions can be found online or at the home improvement center.

New lighting fixtures are

a relatively easy update to a kitchen. Add a dimmer switch to change the mood of the room to fit the activity, such as bright for food preparation and muted for enjoying the meal. Also, under cabinet lighting provides both brighter task lighting while working at the counter, and interesting contrasts and shadows in the room. Molding can be added to the bottom of the cabinet to hide new lighting fixtures.

Add a backsplash to up the kitchen’s style. This step is both easy to do and cost effective. For a more contemporary look, go with a sleek subway tile or a glass mosaic. For something more traditional, consider a travertine with glass or metal accents. If a tile backslash is already installed,

consider getting removable tile decals to change the look without having to change the tiles.

New window treatments will also change the look of the kitchen. For example, a dramatic valance installed higher than the window and above the cabinet line will make it look taller and give the surrounding cabinets a different look.

Change the soft goods in the kitchen by reupholstering the kitchen chairs and/or benches, and purchasing new towels.

Choose fabrics that coordinate

in some way with the window treatments.

Finally, sometimes all it takes to get a new kitchen look is to organize what’s already there.

Keep the countertops as clear as possible by tucking the toaster and coffee maker away when not in use. Kitchen upgrades are often spoiled because there is so much clutter no one notices the changes.

Resilient Jays hope to force Game 7 Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Stingy OSU will test Kansas

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Royals have established a reputation for dramatic postseason comebacks the past couple of years, beginning with last season’s wild-card victory over Oakland.

Turns out, the Toronto Blue Jays have some neversay-quit spirit as well.

After going on a secondhalf run to make the playoffs, then rallying from a 2-0

deficit to defeat Texas in a best-of-five matchup, the Blue Jays will try to beat the Royals in another win-orelse situation in Game 6 of the AL Championship Series tonight.

Toronto forced the series back to Kansas City with a 7-1 rout Wednesday, closing to 3-2.

“You look at all the elimination games, our offense has really come to life,” Blue

Jays manager John Gibbons said Thursday. “We’ve said all along that’s the key to our team, scoring runs. You hate to make a habit of it, but maybe we can pull it off again.”

David Price will take the mound for the Blue Jays after his collapse in Game 2, when he tossed six shutout innings and then surrendered five runs in the seventh.

Yordano Ventura will oppose him for Kansas City.

He was only marginally better, allowing three runs and eight hits in 51⁄3 innings before watching the comeback win from the dugout.

“I’m very fortunate and happy that this game has landed on my turn, here in Kansas City, and with the opportunity to take this club

Tough tune-up VOLLEYBALL CITY SHOWDOWN

Offensive coordinator Rob Likens, true freshman quarterback Ryan Willis, the freshman-heavy receiving corps and Kansas University football’s flawed yet improving offensive line face the sort of heat Saturday in Stillwater, Oklahoma, that they haven’t seen yet and won’t see again.

The Cowboys (6-0) rank first in the nation with 4.17 sacks per game and second to Arizona State with 9.83 tackles for loss.

The problems for KU’s offense start with defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah, fifth in the nation with 1.25 sacks per game, but they don’t end there. Ogbah, a 6-foot-4, 275 pound native of Houston, leads the Cowboys with 7.5 sacks, and opposite end Jimmy Bean has 5.5 sacks.

“They’re really good,” Likens said. “They cause a lot of problems. Baylor had more of an inside-push defense, where they had that big, strong 75 (Shawn Oakman), who could push your center and guard back into your lap. These guys are a little bit different. They’ve got the edge guys. So that’s going to present a really big challenge for us.”

Bruins blast Bears in Pac-12 The Associated Press

Top 25 UCLA 40, No. 20 California 24 Pasadena, Calif. — Josh Rosen completed a school-record 34 passes and threw two of his three touchdown passes to Devin Fuller, and UCLA got its season back on track with a victory over California on Thursday night.

Rosen passed for 399 yards in another splendid game for the standout freshman, and Thomas Duarte had career highs of 10 catches for 141 yards for the Bruins (5-2, 2-2 Pac-12).

UCLA rebounded from consecutive losses and a drop from the national rankings with a 573-yard offensive performance.

Soso Jamabo rushed for a score after star UCLA tailback Paul Perkins left because of an injury, and the Bruins’ injuryplagued defense limited Jared Goff and Cal’s potent offense to 170 yards in the first half.

KU fired up for volleyball showdown

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

In

his 18th season at Kansas University, volleyball coach Ray Bechard couldn’t exactly pinpoint how long it has been since the Jayhawks last beat perennial power Texas.

In his mind, the Longhorns have been beating KU “forever.”

A victory for unbeaten, No. 7-ranked Kansas tonight at No. 2 Texas wouldn’t be unprecedented, but one can understand Bechard’s viewpoint. The Jayhawks have

lost their previous 22 meetings with UT, dating to a Nov. 8, 2003, victory in Austin, Texas — KU’s lone win ever at Gregory Gym. Given his program’s historical headaches with Texas (4-37 all-time), Bechard (4-28 versus the Longhorns) doesn’t hesitate to call this top10 showdown the most difficult match on the schedule. As he puts it, KU and the rest of the Big 12 have been chasing UT and coach Jerritt Elliott for the past decade. With 31 NCAA Tournament appearances and national

championships in 1988 and 2012, Texas has appeared in the national semifinals in six of the past seven seasons.

“I think everybody’s cheering for the Jayhawks,” Bechard said of the rest of the conference.

As much as tonight’s matchup between KU (190 overall, 7-0 Big 12) and Texas (17-1, 7-0) means to each Jayhawk, being a part of the team that ended the Longhorns’ run of dominance would carry even more weight for the five Kansas players who call the Lone Star State home: senior Tiana Dockery (Richmond), sophomore Kelsie Payne (Austin), sophomore Claire Carpenter (Rockwall), sophomore Ainise

Havili (Fort Worth) and sophomore Madison Rigdon (Pflugerville).

Payne — second in the Big 12 in kills per set (4.0) to UT’s Amy Neal (4.27) — grew up watching Texas home matches “all the time.” But her hometown program never offered her a scholarship.

“I always dreamed of one day playing in that gym, so I guess this is my way of doing that,” Payne said, adding that landing with Kansas has worked out perfectly.

Dockery said the Jayhawks realize they’re playing in the nation’s

marquee matchup this weekend.

“I think we’re all pretty jacked up about it,” the senior said.

KU’s players also understand the ramifications of a win in Austin: 20-0, first place in the Big 12, the end of a 22-match losing streak, validation nationally, etc. Bechard told the Jayhawks after Wednesday’s home victory over Oklahoma they just need to keep playing their hearts out, like they have the first 19 matches of the season.

“And that’s what we plan to do,” Dockery said.

Soph WR Neal taking snaps on defense, too

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University wide receiver Derrick Neal admitted earlier this week that he was surprised when the KU coaching staff recently approached him about playing a few snaps on defense. But that did not prevent him from accepting the offer without hesitation.

“It kind of shocked me,” said Neal, who played cornerback and receiver in 2014. “I wasn’t expecting it. But when they asked me, I was just like, ‘Oh, yeah.

That’s cool.’”

D e spite his laid-back, l o w - k e y Neal answer, Neal, a sophomore from Dallas, said he was thrilled when he heard about the opportunity for more playing time.

Fast, shifty and ultraathletic, Neal projects well at both positions because of his ability to open up his hips and run.

On offense, that allows the 5-foot-10, 170-pound wideout to find creases in the defense and gain yards after the catch.

On defense, his ability to cover ground with ease allows him to change direction quickly and stalk receivers looking for those same open spaces in the Kansas defense.

“He’s played defense before for us,” KU coach David Beaty said of Neal.

“And he did a couple things the other day in the game (vs. Texas Tech) that are just natural. It wasn’t until (that) game where I saw him make a tackle on a little hit screen that I was like, ‘Whoa, he’s got a little something to him out there.’”

Neal, who finished last week with one tackle and a forced fumble in his first full game on defense, said his competitive nature made him capable of playing both positions.

While he has yet to put

himself in the conversation with former KU twoway standouts Charles Gordon and Aqib Talib, Neal believes he has what it takes to continue to take snaps on offense and defense the rest of his career.

“I have the energy for it,” he said. “But whatever my coach tells me, I’m willing to do. It’s not hard at all. It’s just being focused, just knowing your keys and playing the technique that the coaches give you.”

Beaty said the defense called on Neal to add depth at cornerback, with Brandon Stewart sidelined by a groin injury.

With Stewart expected to return this week, KU’s first-year coach added it remained unclear whether Neal’s switch to defense was permanent.

“We’ll see,” Beaty said.

“The good thing about him is, he’s smart enough to be able to come back in there on the offensive side if we need to do that.

So, man, I gotta take my hat off to him because we asked him to (switch to cornerback), not in the first part of the week, it was in the middle of (last) Tuesday’s practice, on the way to Wednesday. And, man, with very little preparation he went out there and played hard and actually made a difference in the ballgame.”

While last week’s game against Texas Tech marked his first heavy action on defense — he did not take a snap with the offense — Neal actually entered the game at both positions during the Jayhawks’ loss to Baylor a week earlier.

If it’s up to him, it will be that way not only the rest of the season but also the rest of his career.

“I would love that,” he said. “It’s exciting to me.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY COACH BILL SELF GETS A HEALTHY SHOW OF HANDS after asking if there are any returning members in the crowd who have been to Ladies Night Out before. The sixth-annual edition of the event — which supports cancer treatment and support — was Thursday in Allen Fieldhouse.

screams and applause from the bleachers.

The women in attendance took a tour of the hoops locker room and meeting rooms, posed for pictures with players and coaches and were schooled about strength and conditioning, players’ uniforms and equipment, as well as hoops X’s and O’s from members of the basketball program.

Asked in the player Q and A which contest stood out as his favorite so far at KU, senior Perry Ellis said last season’s West Virginia-at-KU game.

“I got hurt that game, and my teammates stepped up. I was proud we were able to win the league (by virtue of 76-69 win),” Ellis said.

“I’d say the West Virginia game,” agreed senior Jamari Traylor.

“That gave us 11 straight (league titles).”

KU junior guard Frank Mason III was asked what would be the strength of this year’s team.

“I would say depth,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of guys who can come off the bench and spark the team. Most importantly, our great coach.”

Asked what the team’s free-throw shooting percentage would be in 201516, junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. said, “One hundred percent. I think it’ll be high 70s, mid 70s,” he added in a more serious tone.

Self chimed in: “With the new rules this year, officials will be calling games so tight, winning games at the free-throw line will probably be more important than ever.”

Fielding a question about what he thinks of KU’s new McCarthy Hall for the players, Traylor said: “It’s really cool.

The Jayhawks headed straight from the practice gym to the fieldhouse to assist at Ladies Night Out. “It might be a little tough. We worked hard today,” Ellis said. “But when we get going, we’re good to go. It’s all for a good cause. We’re just having fun getting together, clowning and having a good time.”

Noted junior forward Landen Lucas: “It’s awesome to see some of the same people come out year after year. It’s an

amazing feat for them (those who have beaten cancer). For us to be around them and see how happy they are ... just to be here can show there’s a lot bigger things going on in people’s lives.

Coach Self has a ton of different outside charity things we work on. We get to be around a lot of special things he’s doing.

He definitely lets us get involved in everything.”

Self said the Jayhawks had a good practice before Ladies Night Out. “It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t the best, but I think we gained on it a little bit today,” he said, noting KU’s injured players (Selden,

Mets just might be a team of destiny New York (ap) — In the 1960s, the idea of the Mets winning a World Series was as farfetched as man walking on the moon. Just 88 days after Neil Armstrong took his giant leap, the Amazin’s were champions.

Now Tyler Clippard is convinced an extraterrestrial has led the Mets back to the Fall Classic.

“He’s not human. He’s not on this planet right now,” Clippard said about Daniel Murphy. “Another life form jumped into his body.”

Heading into a World Series matchup that opens in Kansas City or Toronto on Tuesday night, it seems as if it is in the stars whenever the Mets are successful.

In 1969, there were hard-to-fathom catches

by Tommy Agee and Ron Swoboda in the Series against Baltimore. Cleon Jones reached first base on a hit batsman call during a Game 5 rally when manager Gil Hodges showed a ball with shoe polish to an umpire.

In 1986, there was Mookie Wilson’s grounder that went through Bill Buckner’s legs at first base to cap a three-run, 10th-inning rally in Game 6 against Boston after the Mets were twice down to their season’s final strike.

Now there’s Murphy, who has seven home runs in nine playoff games, setting a major-league record by going deep in each of his last six. His first-inning home run in Game 2 against the Cubs was on a pitch a Lilliputian 1.064 feet above the ground, according to MLB’s Pitch f/x system.

Only one home run in the entire major leagues this year came on a ball hit lower.

“This is special. This is special. I can’t stop saying it,” captain David Wright exclaimed. “The ’69 Mets, the ’86 Mets, the 2000 Mets — we are amongst the best Mets teams to ever play, and I couldn’t be more proud.”

New York’s players arrived back at Citi Field at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, two motorcycle police in front and two more behind the team’s two buses. Standing about 150 feet from the auto chop shops across the street from right field, about 50 fans greeted the team in the parking lot.

NEW YORK’S DAVID WRIGHT, LEFT, greets fans after the Mets arrived at Citi Field on Thursday in New York. The Mets will play either Kansas City or Toronto in the World Series. in town, the Mets won their fifth pennant to the Yankees’ 40. They were nicknamed the Amazin’ Mets by Casey Stengel, their first manager, and became the upstarts, first at the Polo Grounds for their first two seasons, then at windy Shea Stadium from 1964-2008.

Jane Jarvis played the organ, Ralph Kiner, Bob Murphy and Lindsey Nelson entertained fans in the broadcast booth, the Rheingold jingle played at the ballpark and Karl Ehrhardt lauded players with homemade signs from 1964-81. “THERE ARE NO WORDS” was his message after Jones caught the final out against the Orioles.

The Tom Seaver-Jerry Koosman-Gary Gentry Miracle Mets of 1969 morphed into Tug McGraw’s Ya Gotta Believe Mets of 1973, who lost a seven-game World Series against Oakland. After a lean decade, the Doc, Straw, Keith and The Kid team won a seven-game classic against the Red Sox in 1986, and a Mike Piazza-led team lost a five-game Subway Series to the Yankees in 2000.

Then, after another trough that included multimillions in losses incurred by owners in the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme, they are back in the Series led by a brash young pitching staff that includes the Dark Knight (Matt Harvey), Thor (Noah Syndergaard), the deGrominator (Jacob deGrom) and Steven Matz, a group whose 147 regular-season career starts easily would be the fewest for a Series foursome, according to STATS.

the Mets win the Series, a shampoo endorsement deal for deGrom and Syndergaard seems inevitable. New York already promotes deGrom with a HairWeGo hashtag.

Add in Wilmer Flores’ crying on the field in July when he thought he’d been traded to Milwaukee, Bartolo Colon’s entertaining at-bats and behind-the-backflip toss and Yoenis Cespedes’ stimulating speed and sock, and the Mets transformed from routine to riveting.

“It was a long time coming,” said Wright, who signed with the Mets as an 18-year-old in 2001, made his big-league debut three years later and was appointed captain in 2013.

“We’ve been through some bad times. We’ve been through Septembers where you’re just playing out the schedule, and that’s no fun. To be able to completely reverse that 180 and now celebrate and get the chance to go the World Series, I wish I could bottle it up.”

to the World Series,” Ventura said through catching coach Pedro Grifol, acting as a translator. “I’ll be ready for this game.”

The Blue Jays promise they will be, too.

Toronto lost the first two games against the Rangers at home, then won three straight with its season hanging in the balance. The first two were at Texas, and the last at Rogers Centre, but none of the victories was even close — all by at least three runs.

The Blue Jays lost the first two games in Kansas City, too. But in Game 3 in Toronto, the hosts overcame a 1-0 deficit and rolled to an 11-8 victory.

“We’ve been through a bunch of hurdles all year,” Blue Jays outfielder Chris Colabello said. “We were 71⁄2 games (back) at the deadlines. ... We had to claw back from that. We were down two games back in the division series and we clawed back from

that. I’ll tell you what, we’re going to leave everything we have out there.”

They may have to do just that. While the Blue Jays have won four straight elimination games, the Royals are 6-2 in their last eight postseason games at Kauffman Stadium.

Make no mistake, either: The ballpark matters in this series.

While the homer-happy Blue Jays were built with the small dimensions of Rogers Centre in mind, the speedy, defensive-minded Royals were built for their home park.

Not surprisingly, the Blue Jays failed to homer in the first two games of the ALCS in Kansas City, but hit four long balls in Toronto, including three in Game 3.

“Nothing but positivity. We’ve got a 3-2 lead and we’re heading back to Kansas City,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “That’s where we play our best baseball, so everyone is still feeling pretty good about the series.”

The big question in Game 6 is which starting pitchers will show up.

LHS, O-North in de facto title game

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High’s football team won a share of the Sunflower League title this season with an undefeated record through five league games. Now, the Lions have a chance to remove any doubt and prove they’re the top team in the league.

The Lions split the title with Olathe North, and the two schools will play an unofficial league championship game at 7 tonight at LHS, televised on KSMO-TV (WOW! 3, 203).

A prize for winning the de facto league title game is a potential No. 1 seed in the Class 6A state playoffs. Lawrence and Olathe North are the last two undefeated teams on the east side of the state, and a win in the final district game next week would secure the top spot in the east bracket.

“You can tell intensity is up a little bit,” LHS coach Dirk Wedd said.

“But these guys have taken one game at a time. It’s just we’re playing somebody really good, and they are as talented as all get-out. They’re unde-

feated. We’re really playing for quite a bit.”

The Lions are looking for their first win UP NEXT against O l a t h e Who: Olathe N o r t h North (7-0, since 2011. 1-0 districts) In the past vs. Lawrence two sea- (7-0, 1-0) sons, the When: 7 Eagles (7- tonight 0, 1-0 in Where: LHS districts) have shut TV: KSMO out the (WOW! chs.

BRIEFLY Lawrence soccer falls in 2 OTs Tecumseh — Lawrence High’s boys soccer team dropped its season finale in a 3-2 loss in double overtime at Shawnee Heights.

LHS junior forward Cain Scott and senior midfielder Piper Hubbell each scored a goal to tie the score in John Young/Journal-World Photo regulation. The ThunderFREE STATE SENIOR LAUREN JOHNSON (7) MAKES A PASS birds (13-2-1) scored the while teammates Rebekah Andersson (8) and Rachel winner with 1:07 remaining.

Showdown CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Rachel Hickman, who started the season on the junior-varsity squad, had six kills in the final set and a game-high 16 kills in the match.

“Tonight I said, ‘Rachel, just get your elbow up high and swing hard.

The cross-court shot is open. You just have to go for it,’” FSHS coach Amy Hoffsommer said. “It’s her favorite shot. There it was, and that made her happy, and it kept going, so that was nice.”

The Lions rolled to a win in the first set, leading by as many as 11 points, feeding off the energy of their student section and the emotions of Senior Night. Morgan had four kills in the opening

set, while senior Caroline Dykes added three blocks, and sophomore Laurel Bird had three aces.

“We were just really excited,” said Dykes, who totaled eight kills and seven blocks. “We had our awesome student section, so shoutout to them. They helped us a lot. We were just in it to win it then. The second game, we kind of just let up a little bit because we weren’t expecting them to come back that strong.”

After a 22-all tie in the second set, the Firebirds won with a key block from Naomi Hickman and two kills by Rachel Hickman.

“Rachel always delivers,” said Johnson, who recorded 26 assists. “I just put that puppy back there, and she puts it down.”

Both schools will compete in sub-state Saturday.

But this season, the Lions (7-0, 1-0, ranked No. 1 by Kpreps.com) boast one of the top defenses in the state, allowing just 9.3 points per game.

“I’m excited,” LHS senior linebacker Tanner Green said. “I love hitting people. Everyone on our defense loves hitting people. They’re one of the teams … we don’t like them very much. We just really want to give it to them.”

The Lions changed defensive fronts this season, using their size to their advantage. Seniors Amani Bledsoe, Trey Georgie and Nate Koehn, along

with junior Jake Unruh, are all taller than 6-foot1 and average 275 pounds on the defensive line.

Meanwhile, the Eagles have scored at least 40 points in their last five games. Olathe North is led offensively by dual-threat quarterback Matt Wright and running back Vinson Shabazz, who has rushed for 1,197 yards and 19 touchdowns this year. They also have senior receiver/safety Isaiah Simmons, one of the top recruits in the state who has caught 17 passes for 537 yards and five TDs. “They’re always physical, and they always have a

lot of talent,” Green said of Olathe North. “We’ve got a whole bunch of talent and just as much physicality, so I think we’ll have a pretty good shot.”

Streaking Firebirds host Manhattan in districts tonight

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

It took a few weeks, but Free State High football players are comfortable in their new defensive scheme this season.

Free State’s defense has only given up one touchdown in its past 10 quarters, and the Firebirds hope that continues when they face Manhattan at 7 Veritas rolls p.m. today at FSHS. The Firebirds have alover Cornerstone lowed 194 yards of total Eudora — Emma offense in the past two Wilson had 28 assists as weeks, which has helped Veritas Christian School them turn their slow outlasted Topeka Cornerstart into a winning restone, 25-11, 21-25, 25-9, cord and four-game win 25-20, in high school volstreak. leyball on Thursday.

The Indians (4-3, 0-1) have lost their last two games, falling in overtime against rival Junction City and tumbling, 41-14, against Topeka High.

“He has similar tendencies as the quarterback from Olathe North as being able to run and throw,” Lisher said of Trapp. “Our kids understand the fact that we had trouble tackling him a little bit. He’s a pretty good quarterback. Our empha-

sis is still playing our base defensive schemes with a few wrinkles but doing it better than we did last week.”

Torneden said the defense “realized our potential” during Free State’s loss to Lawrence High on Sept. 18.

With the defensive linemen clogging running lanes, linebackers Sam Skwarlo, Jay Dineen, Drew Tochtrop, Paul Bittinger and Nathan Spain have blown up plays in the backfield.

“The first couple of weeks took us awhile to get used to our new assignments and our new responsibilities,” Bittinger said. “I think our confidence is pretty good. Our linebackers do a great job of keeping the gaps closed.”
