Judicial retention races drawing big ad campaigns

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — This year’s Supreme Court retention races in Kansas are drawing a large amount of campaign spending, according to a new report, but a loophole in the state’s disclosure laws prevents anyone from knowing the true total or where the money is coming from.

“Not only do you not get any information about where the money is coming from, even the groups are not required to disclose their spending,” said Alicia Bannon, an attorney at the Brennan Center for Justice, which tracks campaign spending in judicial races.

Bannon said the only publicly available data on campaign spending in Kansas judicial races comes from contracts to purchase air time on radio and TV that are reported to the Federal Communications Commission.

“It’s really been an accumulation of neglect,” City Manager Tom Markus said at the City Commission’s most recent meeting. “We’ve let this go on for way too long, and so now we have the proverbial elephant sidewalk, and trying to take that one bit at a time is a difficult challenge for us. But, like most things, you’ve got to start sometime.”

Although the city is responsible for installing the ramps, sidewalk repairs are the responsibility of property owners.

For decades, the city has had an ordinance requiring that residents maintain sidewalks on their property —

Regents drop transcript notation initiative

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

A Kansas Board of Regents initiative to require all Kansas state universities to place notations on transcripts of students expelled for sexual violence appears to have died.

At most Kansas universities, students disciplined for sexual assault can transfer to other schools with no flag on their records indicating a problem with past

conduct. Two of the schools, the University of Kansas and Kansas State University, do have policies to note the transcripts of students expelled for sexual assault.

The Regents Council of Presidents — made up of leaders of the six state universities — agreed in December 2015 they wanted a statewide requirement that all universities add a transcript notation if a student is expelled for sexual assault or other serious

personal offenses.

The proposal never reached the full Board of Regents for a vote.

At the Regents’ September meeting, members of the Governance Committee discussed the issue.

“A very small number of students are expelled for non-academic reasons,” according to minutes from that meeting.

“Additionally, the Students’ Advisory Committee leadership indicated

— KU court filing

KU, in the filing, said KU’s actions didn’t enable the man to transfer and suggested other “more plausible explanations” to account for how he got on another college football team.

“He may have enrolled at the other university at a freshman level, without providing his University of Kansas college transcript; thus, the other university would not have been aware of the transcript and its notation,” KU’s attorneys wrote. “Another possibility is that the other university may have simply overlooked the notation on the transcript. Finally, another possibility is that the other university met with John Doe G and decided to admit him despite the notation. The University of Kansas does not know which, if any, of the above scenarios may have occurred.”

Indiana State officials did not answer that question, but the school has revised its transfer student application to ensure the situation is not repeated, said Libby Roerig, Indiana State’s communications director. Specifically, she said, Indiana State added two questions that weren’t on the application before: l “Have you ever been suspended or expelled from an institution of higher education?” If yes, “Please identify the reason for this suspension or expulsion: Academic or Conduct/Behavior.” l “Have you had any communication with a member of the coaching staff at Indiana State University to participate in

Accused player finds new team During KU’s investigation of the sexual assault reports, the accused player’s position coach, KU special teams coach Gary Hyman, was moved to an off-field role.

That move, announced by KU head coach David Beaty and KU Athletics in late December 2015, was “football related,” said Jim Marchiony, KU associate athletics director for public affairs.

Hyman soon left KU to become special teams coordinator at Indiana State, where he was hired in February 2016, according to Indiana State Athletics.

A few months later, John Doe G settled in Terre Haute, too.

He enrolled for the fall semester and walked on to the Sycamores’ football team, again practicing under coach Hyman.

Indiana State removed him from the team Aug. 25, university spokeswoman Roerig said.

Indiana State Athletics Director Sherard Clinkscales told Terre Haute’s Tribune-Star newspaper that he’d heard about accusations against the student the previous day, but didn’t say how.

“The upper administration of the athletics department was not aware of the allegations surrounding [the student], and upon becoming aware of such information, he was removed immediately from the football team,” Clinkscales said in the Tribune-Star report.

The student played two seasons at KU before transferring to Indiana State, but the Sycamores’ roster didn’t say that.

Unlike typical roster listings for transfers, the Indiana State football roster did not list the player as a KU transfer before his name was removed, the Tribune-Star

reported. The roster also listed him as a freshman instead of a junior, according to the TribuneStar.

KU and Indiana State officials declined to answer JournalWorld and other media questions about when and how much Hyman knew about KU’s sexual assault investigations and disciplinary action against the player.

The Journal-World was unable to reach Hyman last week.

However, Indiana State disciplined Hyman in connection with the situation.

He was suspended for two days, Roerig confirmed, Sept. 2 and Sept. 3, which included Indiana State’s home opener.

“Based on the athletic director’s inquiry into the matter, he and the head coach determined the disciplinary action was appropriate,” Roerig said.

Clinkscales told the TribuneStar at the time: “We are 100 percent committed as a university, athletic department and football program to Title IX and all it entails... We have high expectations for all of our coaches, and this is not anything that is representative of all our departments.

It’s an isolated instance. We just have to do a better job.”

be placed on [the man’s] transcript.” He also was banned from campus for 10 years.

Durham also said, in a letter to McClure, that she personally met with the entire football team twice in fall 2015 and again in early March 2016 to provide training on sexual violence, and that KU’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center director would return in April to give the team more training on sexual harassment and consent.

The football player requested that the charges against him be resolved without a formal hearing because he agreed to the listed disciplinary action, Durham said in the letter to McClure. “From the university’s perspective, this achieved what you requested and what was possible to obtain through the formal hearing process,” Durham wrote.

Based on that, both women agreed to close the process without the hearing, according to correspondence filed in court.

Curry has filed proposals to amend the women’s initial lawsuits with new accusations involving the expulsion and transcript notation questions.

Kansas high court may reconsider rulings on DUI laws

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

The Kansas Supreme Court is preparing to reconsider a controversial ruling from earlier this year that said drivers suspected of DUI cannot be charged with a crime for refusing to take a blood-alcohol test, and law enforcement officers cannot threaten suspects with stiffer penalties for such a refusal.

The court said Friday it will hold what’s called a “summary calendar” hearing on that question

Dec. 16, but it does not plan to hear oral arguments. Instead, the justices will conference among themselves that day to consider the case, based solely on the written record before them.

The court had already agreed to reconsider the cases in an unpublished notice issued Sept. 29, but had not announced a schedule.

The cases involve the state’s “implied consent” law, which means that when a driver obtains a license and drives on

public roads, he or she has already given tacit consent to be tested for drugs or alcohol if a law enforcement official suspects the person of driving under the influence.

In a series of rulings in February, the court struck down a Kansas statute making it a misdemeanor to refuse to take a breath test or other kind of field sobriety test.

The court also said officers could not threaten suspects by telling them that refusal to take such a test could result in more

serious penalties.

Shortly after those rulings, however, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt asked the court to put the rulings on hold, pending the outcome of a U.S. Supreme Court decision involving similar laws in two other states.

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld those laws in Minnesota and North Dakota.

Schmidt then filed a motion asking the Kansas court to reconsider its rulings.

Eudora Market on Main continues tradition

A

s Pam Staab is celebrating the first anniversary of her Eudora Market on Main, she anticipates adding a new feature.

Staab opened the store at 724 Main St. in October 2015 after offering a Saturday farmers market at the site for about nine months. The store currently has two components: an arts and crafts area in the front where paintings, mosaics, repurposed furniture, homemade aprons and other handiwork from 12 to 15 vendors is offered on consignment, and a rear section in which customers will find homegrown produce, eggs, baked goods and jellies and jams supplied by local producers.

Staab is always looking for new vendors.

She came to the idea through her partnership with her brother, Fred Trefz, in a greenhouse growing lettuce.

“A lot of people don’t know how difficult it is

to market locally grown produce,” she said.

Helping with the store are three of its vendors, Sharon Musick who makes the aprons sold at the store, Sharon Farr, the vendor of the store’s soaps, lotions, oils and apothecary products, and Marie Winter, who produces the mosaic pieces.

Staab plans to soon offer prepared food at the store with completion of needed modifications and required city inspections. She confesses she’s “not a chef” and

envisions the food offered will be prepared by area chefs using locally produced foods.

“We won’t have a fullblown kitchen,” she said.

“We’ll reheat food prepared in other commercial kitchens. I want to be able to offer a healthy food option, especially to seniors who can’t travel to where those options are available.”

The storefront has a longtime association with her family, Staab said. It was the home of her great-uncle Carl’s Trefz Variety Store for seven decades before the lifelong bachelor closed up shop in 1976. The store was vacant except for storage through the 1980s and 1990s, she said.

She started investing in the storefront in 2000, installing the indoor plumbing that her great uncle, who lived across the alley from his business, didn’t need, a heating and air conditioning unit and otherwise sprucing up the building.

It was the home for a number of businesses before she decided to quit leasing the property and continue a family tradition with Eudora Market on Main.

“I was thinking the other day, my greatuncle had Trefz Variety Store here for 70 years,” Staab said. “In a lot of ways, I think this is a variety store.”

The store is open from noon to 5 p.m Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, from 10 am. to 6 p.m.

Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. l l l

of the hearing was contained in an unpublished notice to attorneys involved in those cases, and it came on the same day the court issued two new opinions on the same issue, this time saying officers may obtain search warrants to draw blood from a DUI suspect if that suspect refuses to consent to a test voluntarily.

But the court cautioned in an earlier letter, dated Oct. 14, that attorneys should not read too much into its decision to reconsider, or its decision not

Greensburg (ap) — The party isn’t until May, but many Greensburg residents are deep into planning a celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the 2007 tornado that destroyed 95 percent of the town and killed 11 people.

Led by City Administrator Kyler Ludwig, several committees began forming in December 2015, including one that concentrated on public art. After extensive research, the committee agreed to place three stainless-steel sculptures along Main Street, with the hope of engaging both residents and visitors, The Hutchinson News reported.

A huge stainlesssteel barrel “will marry the old with the new,” committee member Judy Kirk said. During the daytime, an etched

streetscape will be visible and at night a light will shine from within.

It will be placed on the edge of a lot that will become a park. The estimated cost of the sculpture and park is $17,065.

“Our first priority is to get the memorial barrel sculpture installed for the 10-year celebration,” Ulrich said. “The other two (sculptures) will follow. We have the places picked for them. It’s just a matter of timing.”

Grants will help pay for the artwork.

Shortly after the tornado hit, a long-term recovery plan was developed with the help of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as well as a sustainable master plan created by Kansas Citybased BNIM Architects with blueprints to turn Greensburg into a model green community.

Races CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

In Kansas, where retention elections have gone largely unnoticed until recent years, as of Thursday, Oct. 20, outside groups had contracted to buy $202,290 worth of radio and TV ad time to campaign for or against retaining the five Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

Of that, 58 percent, or $118,084, is being spent

by Kansans for Justice, a group campaigning to oust 4 of the 5 justices on the ballot. The remaining 42 percent, or a little more than $84,206, is being spent by Kansans for Fair Courts, a group campaigning to retain all five justices on the ballot.

And although that may not sound like much, Bannon said, it typically doesn’t take very much spending to influence a judicial race, especially in a small, inexpensive media market like Kansas.

“State Supreme Court races tend to be pretty lowinformation races,” she said.

“Most people don’t know a lot about their state Supreme Court. They don’t know a lot about the justices that are standing for election. And for that reason, oftentimes it doesn’t necessarily take a lot of money to have a big impact in these races because the few attack ads that are being broadcast might be the only piece of information that people have about some of these candidates.”

The Carr brothers The central issue for the group campaigning to oust 4 of the 5 justices on the ballot is the Kansas Supreme Court’s 2014 decision vacating the death sentence of two men convicted in a notorious murder case, brothers Jonathan

.

and Reginald Carr.

They were convicted and sentenced to death for torturing, raping and killing four people and attempting to kill a fifth person in an executionstyle slaying in December 2000 that was part of a days-long crime spree.

The court ruled 6-1 in that case that the death sentences were improper because the trial court had denied a request to hold separate sentencing hearings for the two brothers. A sister of the defendants had wanted to testify in defense of one of the brothers but couldn’t do so in a joint hearing without damaging the case of the other brother.

The court remanded the case back for new sentencing, but the U.S. Supreme Court later overturned that decision.

That case was an issue in the 2014 elections when the campaign of Gov. Sam Brownback, who was running for re-election, ran TV ads urging voters to vote against retaining two of the justices who had voted with the majority: Eric Rosen and Lee Johnson. Both narrowly won retention that year.

The other four justices who voted to vacate the death sentence are up for retention this year: Chief Justice Lawton Nuss and Associate Justices Carol Beier, Dan Biles and

We believe this is an effort for the governor to take control of the judiciary, the governor and his allies, and they have been very clear in the last few years that they are unhappy with the court.”

— Joyce Morrison, spokeswoman for Kansans for Fair Courts

Marla Luckert.

The only justice who voted to uphold the death sentences, former Justice Nancy Moritz, has since been appointed to the federal bench at the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Kansans for Justice began running TV ads earlier this week, calling the Supreme Court “out of control,” and criticizing the justices for a string of death penalty cases that were also later reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The ad features former Sedgwick County Undersheriff Danny Bardezbain saying, “The Kansas Supreme Court has done enough to these victims’ families. These guys had a fair trial and deserve the sentence they received.”

Other issues But Kansans for Fair Courts, the group campaigning to retain the justices, says it doesn’t believe that the death penalty is the real issue, although it does not question the sincerity of the Carr brothers’ victims.

Kansans for Fair Courts

Serving Lawrence For

spokeswoman Joyce Morrison said that behind the scenes, this year’s retention battle is really an extension of the long-running animosity that Gov. Sam Brownback and many Republicans in the Legislature have felt toward the court over issues such as school funding and abortion.

“We believe this is an effort for the governor to take control of the judiciary, the governor and his allies, and they have been very clear in the last few years that they are unhappy with the court,” Morrison said. “They want to see justices on the court who would be more in their line with their way of thinking, and would rule in ways they would be supportive of.”

Under the Kansas Constitution, governors appoint Supreme Court justices from a list of nominees selected by a nonpartisan Supreme Court Nominating Commission.

Justices then must stand for retention in the first general election after their appointment, and then every six years thereafter.

In addition to the four justices involved in the Carr brothers decision, the other justice up for retention this year is Caleb Stegall, whom Brownback appointed to the court in 2014, a year after the Carr brothers decision.

People campaigning to reject the other four justices have used slogans on bumper stickers and other material saying “Reject all but Stegall.”

Bannon said that in other states where high court justices stand for election or retention, it is common for groups that have other interests in the court to campaign on high-profile, emotional issues involving criminal justice.

“We look at elections around the country,” she said, “and it’s quite common when you look at advertisements that focus on criminal justice issues, that when you look at the money behind those advertisements, that it’s actually coming from business interests or plaintiffs lawyers or other groups that don’t have any real connection to criminal justice issues.”

In Kansas, however, that’s virtually impossible to know because the state’s campaign finance laws do not apply to judicial retention elections. Judges themselves are not allowed to raise money, spend money or actively campaign. But

independent groups can do so, and they are not required to disclose how much they spend or who contributes to the campaigns.

Court of Appeals In addition to the campaign involving the four Supreme Court justices, 6 of the 14 judges on the Kansas Court of Appeals are on the ballot for retention this year, and they have also drawn interest from outside groups including Kansans for Life, the state’s largest antiabortion lobby group.

In January, all 14 judges heard the appeal of a Shawnee County District Court ruling that blocked enforcement of a new law banning the use of a commonly used abortion procedure known as dilation and evacuation, a procedure that abortion opponents have dubbed “dismemberment abortion.”

Fair elections

Trump has full-blown victim mentality “Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me?”

— The Coasters from “Charlie Brown”

Although there’s no evidence that voting is rigged, officials can still do more to assure voters that they are as fair as possible.

M

uch has been made of late about the integrity of the American election process.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has alleged widespread voter fraud, primarily in large urban areas, where the Trump campaign said dead people and illegal immigrants are voting in record numbers. He said the election is rigged and has steadfastly refused to say he will accept the election outcome.

Trump has done himself no favors. This stubborn insistence on talking about accusations of election fraud have drowned out other issues and allowed his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton to escape deeper scrutiny on a trove of matters exposed in a series of Wikileaks releases over the past several weeks.

The Trump campaign’s missives, lacking specifics and largely refuted by research and history, are a disservice to the American election process. That said, election officials can do more to ensure elections are as fair as possible, as evidenced by an issue that surfaced this week in Douglas County.

County Republican Party Chair Kathleen Ammel has questioned the Douglas County Clerk’s Office’s September mailing of voter information. Ammel said that mailing, which included information on participating in the Nov. 8 election as well as an application for advance voting by mail, skewed toward Democrats, particularly in the 2nd Senate District, where Democratic incumbent Marci Francisco faces Republican challenger Meredith Richey.

Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew, a Democrat, defended the mailing. He said that this year the clerk’s office mailed to households rather than to individual voters and that may have led to discrepancies when households that contain multiple voters of different party affiliations are considered. Shew said sending mailings to just 36,000 households, instead of to 78,498 voters, saved the county about $18,000 in postage.

Although efficiency in government is appreciated, the clerk’s office should have spent the extra funds to ensure every registered voter received an individual mailing. Although there is no evidence of any sort of foul play in the Douglas County clerk’s decision, it is just such discrepancies that, taken cumulatively, give rise to conspiracy theorists seeking to undermine the best election system in the free world.

Registered voters in Douglas County who wish to vote by mail can obtain an advance voting application at the clerk’s office at 1100 Massachusetts St. in Lawrence or online in the voting and elections section of the Douglas County website, douglascountyks.org. Completed mail ballots must be received by the clerk’s office by 7 p.m. on Nov. 8.

In-person advance voting began last week and will continue through Nov. 7.

Below is a schedule for in-person advance voting: l 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 24-Friday, Oct. 28, Douglas County Clerk’s Office. l 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, Douglas County Clerk’s Office, Lecompton City Hall, Eudora City Hall, Baldwin City Fire Station. l 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31, to Friday, Nov. 4, Douglas County Clerk’s Office. l 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31, to Friday, Nov. 4, Golf Course Superintendents Association in Lawrence, Douglas County Fairgrounds Building 21, KU’s Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center. l 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, Douglas County Clerk’s Office, Lecompton City Hall, Eudora City Hall, Baldwin City Fire Station. l 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday, Nov. 7, Douglas County Clerk’s Office.

strangled by housing discrimination, economic injustice or police brutality.

The likes of Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh often use it to belittle and dismiss African-American concerns.

But really, who has ever had a greater sense of themselves as a victim than Trump? Who has ever been a bigger whiner, excusemaker and all-out crybaby?

Who has ever been more in need of lectures about personal responsibility than the Republican candidate for president?

If that were not obvious before, it became excruciatingly clear last week as the Trump Train left the rails and careened headlong into the gorge. Trump has long claimed the election was “rigged” against him, apparently by state officials who insist on letting people vote and then counting the

ballots, and by media, who keep stubbornly reporting things he has said and done.

In last week’s debate with Hillary Clinton, Trump went even further in knocking out the pillars of American democracy. He explicitly refused to say he would respect the results of the election. “I will keep you in suspense,” he said, making instant fools of surrogates who had promised he would abide by the will of the voters.

For the first time since 1860, we are left to wonder what the refusal to abide by the results of an election would look like. Are we talking street riots? Armed militias?

These are the unsettling (but no longer unthinkable) questions we are now required to ask because of the right wing’s infatuation with a towering baby man who serves, and can conceive, no cause higher than his own gratification. For Trump, even the stability of the nation is subordinate in

importance to his ego.

Faced with a looming blow to that massive edifice, he rationalizes by assuring himself and the rest of us that it isn’t really happening, that he is the victim of powerful, unseen forces cheating him of victory. But as Clinton noted, this is a pattern for Trump. Whenever things don’t work to his satisfaction, he claims to have been treated unfairly or conspired against.

Multiple women accusing him of sexual assault? It’s a political plot.

A federal judge might rule against him? The judge is biased.

The polls show him way down? The polls are a scam.

The FBI finds no criminal wrongdoing in Clinton’s missing emails? The FBI is corrupt.

His TV show fails to win an Emmy? The Emmys are unfair.

He’s about to lose the election? The election is rigged.

He whines, he whines,

he whines. And he accepts responsibility for virtually nothing.

It is important to note that Trump did not spring from nowhere. Rather, he is the logical byproduct of a GOP that has spent the last quarter-century telling its acolytes they were victims: of “media elites,” Hollywood values and science, to name just a few. And if you’re looking for election rigging, look no further than the party that has thrown up arbitrary legal barriers designed to make voting harder for AfricanAmericans and other non-Republican constituencies.

Donald Trump, in all his preening infamy, is the end result of the GOP’s years of hypocrisy and reality avoidance. Shame on anyone who takes seriously his piteous moaning about the vast forces conspiring against him.

American democracy is the only victim here.

— Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

In Wisconsin, a measure of US metabolism Milwaukee — In 49 states, when you order breakfast in a restaurant you might be asked if you would like pancakes or an omelet. In Wisconsin, you are asked if you would like pancakes with your omelet. Ron Johnson would, thank you. This Republican U.S. senator, who is burning prodigious amounts of calories campaigning for a second and final term, really does represent the hearty eaters who were fueling up at a Perkins restaurant here on a recent Sunday morning.

In 2010, Johnson left his plastics manufacturing company that made him wealthy enough to try, against his preference for the private sector and against his wife’s adamant disapproval, to become the only manufacturer in the Senate. He surfed into that chamber on the Republican wave raised by two things that annoyed Johnson enough to propel him into politics — the Obama administration’s stimulus that did not stimulate, and Obamacare, which six years later is in intensive care.

Johnson defeated a threeterm incumbent, Russ Feingold, who this year is again Johnson’s opponent. Being devoted environmentalists, Democrats believe in recycling even their candidates: In Indiana, too, a former senator, Evan Bayh, is in a tight race trying to return to Washington.

In a season supposedly inimical to insiders, Feingold, 63, is more of this detested

George Will

“

Although Hillary Clinton is expected to win Wisconsin handily, Johnson still could be the unlikely savior of the Republicans’ Senate control.”

breed than is Johnson. Feingold first won elective office at age 29 and his involuntary six-year sojourn in the private sector has been an aberration he is eager to end. Johnson, 61, said when seeking his first term that he would never seek a third.

Johnson says he has traveled 130,000 miles — “that’s with me behind the wheel” — to ask audiences: How many of you think the government is efficient and effective? When no hands are raised, he asks: Why, then, would you want it enlarged?

Johnson was considered so vulnerable this year that the national party essentially wrote him off — indeed, it virtually announced as much by its parsimonious support. Ten months ago he trailed Feingold by double digits. He is attempting to

become the first Wisconsin Republican since 1980 to win a Senate election in a presidential year. In that year, Ronald Reagan’s coattails pulled 16 freshmen Republicans into the Senate.

This year, Johnson faces headwinds beyond the fact that the unhinged spectacle at the top of the Republican ticket lost the Wisconsin primary to Ted Cruz by 13 points. Wisconsin last voted for a Republican presidential candidate in 1984 and is much more congenial to Republicans in non-presidential years, when turnout is lower. In 2010, the total vote for Senate candidates was 2,171,331. In the presidential year 2012, when Democrat Tammy Baldwin defeated former Gov. Tommy Thompson for the state’s other Senate seat, the total vote surged to 3,009,411.

Nevertheless, although Hillary Clinton is expected to win Wisconsin handily, Johnson still could be the unlikely savior of Republicans’ Senate control: Two recent public polls show Johnson behind by less than the polls’ margins of error. This is partly because, in a year of unrelieved political ugliness, he has done something eccentric: He has run television ads that make people smile rather than wince. One concerns his support for a faith-based program teaching unemployed inner-city residents the modalities of job seeking (interviews, etc.); the other highlights Johnson helping

a Wisconsin couple bring their adopted child home from Congo.

This year of the counterintuitive has reached an appropriate culmination: Republican retention of Senate control might depend on weakness at the top of the ticket starting immediately.

If Donald Trump’s chances of winning are soon seen to be, as they actually are, vanishingly small, Republican Senate candidates can explicitly encourage tactical voting: They can acknowledge that Trump is toast and can urge voters to send Republicans to Washington as a check on President Hillary Clinton.

In 22 of the 36 election cycles — presidential and off-year — in the 70 years since World War II, voters have produced divided government, giving at least one house of Congress to the party not holding the presidency. This wholesome American instinct for checks and balances is particularly pertinent now because Clinton will take office as an unprecedentedly unpopular new president.

For conservatives, this autumn has been about simultaneously stopping Trump and preserving Republicans’ Senate control to stymie Clinton.

Johnson will return either to the Senate and the invigorating business of preventing progressives’ mischief, or to private life. Come what may, he says, “I’ll be the calmest guy on election night.”

Repairs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5A

Part of the reason for that is the scope of the repairs. Herbert said that because the sidewalks are in such widespread disrepair, an opt-in program would not work to generate the millions of dollars needed. He also said that in other cities it was found that property owners would only optin until their sidewalk was repaired.

“The problem is that those policies never really work,” Herbert said.

“What ends up happening is, people who have sidewalks in disrepair opt in until they get their sidewalk repaired by the city, and then at some point they opt out, because their liabilities have now been covered.”

Deferring costs The city’s implementation plan includes a program for regular sidewalk inspections, as well as ideas to minimize the financial impact for low-income property owners.

City staff proposed that property owners be given the option to contract with the city to complete the repairs, which would be less expensive than doing so

privately. Staff is also evaluating the idea of a deferral program in which the city would pay the upfront costs of repair and a lien would be placed on the property.

The city would be reimbursed for the sidewalk repair and the lien paid off once the property was sold.

Although a proposal for a deferral program has not been formalized, Vice Mayor Leslie Soden said they need to figure out some way to help with the financial burden of sidewalk repairs. Soden said she thought that could be through deferral or setting up a grant program, perhaps similar to the income-based weatherization grants offered through the city.

“It is important to start enforcing the sidewalk policy, but we do understand that there are financial challenges for a lot of property owners,” Soden said. “And so the city is looking at offering ways to help with the financial impact.”

Bodle, though, said he thought the idea of a deferral program does not address the issue, but instead “sidesteps it.”

“It allows us to ignore the immediacy of it,” Bodle said. “It allows the cash-poor homeowner — and there are many, especially here in East

Lawrence — to not want to fight with the city about it, because, ‘Oh, I don’t have to pay for it now.’”

Uffman also didn’t think deferral was a good solution, noting that for those with low income, their home could be their only asset and deferral only delays the financial burden.

As a task force member who studied the topic, Uffman said she realized there were many issues to be dealt with in order come up with a solution. Still, Uffman said she thought city planning staff could come up with something better than the deferral plan.

“If there were easy answers the task force would have come up with it — I would know the answer,” Uffman said. “They’re not easy answers, but that doesn’t mean we don’t need a better answer.”

The city’s implementation plan will go to the newly created Transportation Commission for review, which will also make recommendations.

Both sets of recommendations will return to the City Commission at an upcoming meeting for further review.

The court split evenly, 7-7, on that case, meaning the lower court’s ruling was allowed to stand, pending a further appeal to the Supreme Court, which has not yet heard arguments.

Of the six Court of Appeals judges on the ballot in November, four voted to continue blocking enforcement of the new law: Steve Leben; G. Joseph Pierron Jr.; Karen Arnold-Burger; and G. Gordon Atcheson.

Two judges up for retention voted to reverse the lower court and allow the new ban to take

Lawmakers were able to change the Court of Appeals nominating process because that court was created by statute.

Hillary Clinton leads in the polls despite WikiLeaks exposing her campaign’s inner workings.

Emails expose what voters dislike about D.C. power brokers Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

The WikiLeaks controversy has exposed the underbelly of a Washington culture that both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump supporters disdain.

The trove of hacked emails from Clinton campaign manager John Podesta shows Clinton’s easy relationship with Wall Street as she collected millions of dollars in speaking fees, as well as attempts by foreign governments to curry favor with former president Bill Clinton while dangling offers of donations to his family foundation.

“It’s a pretty unprecedented window” into the inner machinations of Washington power brokers, said John Wonderlich, executive director at the Sunlight Foundation, a Washington-based group that advocates transparency in government. “The thing that might become hardest to deal with are the foreign donations,” he said. “That stuff is going to be a headache for years.”

Although there’s no evidence of textbook “pay to play” or that the Clintons granted favors in exchange for donations, combined, the emails feed cynicism many voters in both parties have about politicians.

They show that, from the be-

AT&T reached a deal Saturday to buy Time Warner for about $85.4 billion, a surprising acquisition that reflects the telecom giant’s desire to amass reputable TV and film content to diversify its huge but mature business of providing Internet access.

In the cash-and-stock deal that was confirmed by both companies late Saturday, AT&T will pay $107.50 per share of Time Warner, whose diverse media portfolio includes HBO, CNN, TNT, TBS, Warner Bros., theme parks,

ginning of Clinton’s campaign, her aides struggled to craft a simple message that conveys her core beliefs. For instance, one email from August 2015 showed her chief speechwriter mulling how to signal her opposition to the Keystone XL Pipeline without saying it herself and, essentially, “second-guessing the president in public.”

Most of the releases, though, demonstrate benign staff deliberations that normally remain private.

“What you’re seeing with these emails is the sausage being made of a campaign,” said Tom Rosenstiel, executive director of the American Press Institute. “The press is being manipulated extraordinarily here with these incremental dumps” that spur stories, he said. WikiLeaks claims it has an estimated 50,000 emails that are being released in batches.

Clinton stresses that the email exchanges were hacked by a group conspiring with the Russian government, seeking to hurt her campaign and help Trump, her Republican opponent. While the campaign has refused to confirm the veracity of the emails, it hasn’t disavowed them.

The most controversial emails remain those illuminating her relationship with Wall Street and

Bleacher Report and a 10% stake in streaming service Hulu. The deal, approved by the boards of both companies, is expected to close before the end of 2017.

“This is a perfect match of two companies with complementary strengths who can bring a fresh approach to how the media and communications industry works for customers, content creators, distributors and advertisers,” said Randall Stephenson, AT&T chairman and CEO. “Premium content always wins. It has been true on the big screen, the TV screen and now it’s proving true on the mobile screen.”

The agreement, if approved by regulators, would be one of the largest acquisitions ever in the telecom-media sector. It also lays bare AT&T’s ambition to control sizable market shares in both content and distribution businesses, a prospect that will surely trigger scrutiny from federal regulators and consumer rights advocates.

How your DVR was hijacked to help epic cyberattack ‘Botnet’ army as easy to direct as a firehose Elizabeth Weise @eweise USATODAY

Technology experts warned for years that the millions of Internet-connected “smart” devices we use every day are weak, easily hijacked and could be turned against us.

The massive siege on Dyn, a New Hampshire-based company that monitors and routes Internet traffic, shows those ominous SAN FRANCISCO

predictions are now a reality.

An unknown attacker intermittently knocked many popular websites offline for hours Friday, from Amazon to Twitter and Netflix to Etsy. How the breach occurred is a cautionary tale of how the rush to make humdrum devices “smart,” while sometimes leaving out crucial security, can have major consequences.

Dyn, a provider of Internet management for multiple companies, was hit with a large-scale distributed denial of service attack (DDoS), in which its servers were flooded with millions of fake requests for information, so many that they could no longer

In the rush to make humdrum devices “smart,” consumers may be left feeling vulnerable.

respond to real ones and crashed under the weight.

Who orchestrated the attack is still unknown. But how they did it — by enslaving ordinary household electronic devices such as DVRs, routers and digital closedcircuit cameras — has been established. The attackers created a digital army of co-opted robot networks, a “botnet,” that spewed millions of nonsense messages at Dyn’s servers. Like a firehose, they could direct it at will, knocking out the servers, turning down the flow and then hitting it at full blast once again.

The specific weapon? An easyto-use botnet-creating software

called Mirai. An unknown person released it to the hacker underground this month, and security experts warned it might come into more general use.

Mirai uses malware from phishing emails to first infect a computer or home network then insinuate itself into devices without the owner’s knowledge, using them as platforms to send the server-clogging messages even as the device continues to do its day job for its true owner.

That breadth of “attack surface,” as security experts call it, is one of the things that makes Mirai so difficult to fight, said Kyle York, Dyn’s chief strategy officer.

CONTENT WILL AID AT&T VS. NETFLIX v CONTINUED FROM 1B

consumers along with all our distribution and marketing partners,” Time Warner Chairman and CEO Jeff Bewkes said in a statement.

Talks between the companies began in August, when Stephenson, based in Dallas, visited Bewkes in New York and spent several hours discussing the direction of their industries, Bewkes recalled in a conference call Saturday evening. “I’ve been involved in a lot of deals in my career,” Stephenson said. “This one’s unique. It began negotiating on its own very quickly. It was a natural process.”

Stephenson will lead the combined company. Bewkes said has agreed to stay on through the transition period for “a reasonable period of time.”

A year ago, AT&T shocked Wall Street by paying $48.5 billion to buy satellite TV provider DirecTV, giving it instant access to nearly all domestic markets for selling its pay-TV service and Internet-TV bundles.

Analysts suggested at the time that AT&T would look to beef up its content offerings — already made attractive by DirecTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket deal — to fully seize the benefits of the acquisition.

DirecTV and AT&T’s other payTV service, U-Verse, provide a level of revenue diversity. But investors have wanted AT&T to look elsewhere for growth, particularly as the market turbulence brought on by streaming technology and “cord-cutting” provides both opportunities and threats.

“They have the pipes and the distribution platform. And the next piece in the value chain is content,” says Roger Entner, an industry analyst and founder of Recon Analytics. “If you have the right content, your platform and pipes are a lot more valuable. And you don’t have to pay (content companies) all that money.”

Similar concerns drove Verizon to offer $4.8 billion for Yahoo’s core businesses, including Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance.

Verizon also paid $4.4 billion to buy AOL a year earlier.

Meanwhile, Comcast continues to prove the benefits of business diversity quarter after quarter with revenues from its NBC Universal unit — including NBC, Telemundo, Universal Pictures and Universal Studios — compensating for declines in cable TV service customers.

AT&T also plans to provide its own video streaming services to compete with Netflix and Amazon in the coming months. It has been signing deals with content providers, and Time Warner’s programming will provide a significant boost in the new services’ show lineup.

AT&T also gets direct access to HBO’s know-how in streaming directly to subscribers. HBO has been operating its subscriptionbased streaming service, HBO Now, since 2014.

Time Warner’s programming could produce marketing advantages. For example, AT&T can entice more Internet customers by offering packages in which streaming HBO or TNT’s basketball games would not count toward their monthly data limit — as it now does for wireless customers with DirecTV’s app.

“You can put AT&T branding on every HBO show,” Entner said.

“All the positive halos that come from good content can now be transferred to AT&T.” Consumer rights advocates questioned how the deal would affect the competitive landscape in a telecom industry being rapidly upended by new technology and consolidation. With Time Warner as its sister company, DirecTV could threaten other content companies if their fees-and-rights negotiations stall, they say.

“AT&T might also make it more expensive or difficult for competitors to DirecTV or to its streaming service to access Time Warner programmer, hoping to drive customers to its own platforms,” wrote John Bergmayer, senior counsel at consumer technology advocacy group Public Knowledge, which has generally opposed industry consolidation.

Trump of his accusers: ‘All of these liars will be sued’

Republican offers agenda for first 100 days in office David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

Seeking to reset the presidential race, Donald Trump unveiled his “closing arguments” speech Saturday that included an agenda for his first 100 days in office and attacks on Hillary Clinton, the media and critics in general.

“They are trying to poison the mind of the American voter,” Trump said in Gettysburg, Pa., of the news media.

He vowed to file lawsuits against the women who have accused him in recent weeks of inappropriate sexual behavior, saying: “All of these liars will be sued after the election is over.”

Trump reiterated his pledges to build an anti-migration wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and to ban the entry of Muslims to the U.S. from countries with histories of terrorism and poor vetting procedures.

Trump, who has accused opponents of rigging the election against him, again raised the specter of voter fraud. He said — without evidence — that “1.8 million dead people are registered to vote, and some of them are voting.”

His agenda included pushes for tax cuts, reduced federal regulations and revamped trade deals with other countries. Describing his first 100-day plan as “a contract between Donald J Trump and the American voter,” he also proposed term limits for members of Congress and lobbying restrictions on former government employees.

Republican Donald Trump on Sunday travels to the must-win state of Florida, part of what his team calls a stepped-up schedule.

He accused the FBI and Justice Department of covering up crimes by Hillary Clinton involving her private use of email while secretary of State.

The closing arguments speech — a late addition to his schedule — comes amid polls showing him trailing Clinton both nationally and in key battleground states. On social media, Trump cited other polls showing him inching ahead of Clinton. He tweeted: “The media refuses to talk about the three new national polls that have me in first place. Biggest crowds ever — watch what happens!”

In the wake of three debates with Clinton, Trump has contended with allegations from a

variety of women claiming he made inappropriate sexual advances toward them. Trump has denied the accusations, and called them part of an effort to “rig” the election against him.

After his speech in Gettysburg, Trump hosted rallies Saturday in politically important Virginia and Ohio. On Sunday, he travels to the must-win state of Florida, part of what he and aides described as a stepped-up schedule for the last 21⁄2 weeks

of the campaign.

“Right up until the actual vote of Nov. 8,” Trump said Friday in North Carolina. “And then I don’t know what kind of shape I’m in, but I’ll be happy and at least I will have known, win, lose or draw, and I’m almost sure if the people come out we’re gonna win.”

Stephen Miller, the campaign’s national policy director, said Trump’s Gettysburg speech is designed to “set the tone” for the final days of the campaign, and that the candidate will argue he is the “change agent” the country needs.

“The Donald Trump campaign is a movement unlike anything we’ve seen in our country’s history,” Miller said.

Sweeping campaign reforms? Not yet she hates the phrase “everyday Americans.”

Other emails rebut the Trump campaign contention that the Clintons were using their family foundation for personal profit.

Chelsea Clinton in particular comes across as a mindful of ethics considerations by seeking tougher internal rules regarding potential conflicts of interest and outside income — or, as she wrote, she was seeking to “professionalize the Foundation.”

foreign actors, especially May 2013 comments to a large Brazilian bank that her dream was a hemispheric trade zone with “open trade and open borders.”

Anger at the political system powered both Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s primary challenger, and won them millions of passionate followers.

Clinton has promised to call for a constitutional amendment overturning the Citizens United decision, a 2010 Supreme Court ruling that allowed for unlimited corporate and union independent political spending, in her first 30 days as president. She has endorsed legislation clamping down on lobbyists posing as “consultants.”

Trump recently offered a fivepoint plan to “drain the swamp” by putting constraints on administration officials and members of Congress becoming lobbyists.

While Clinton’s proposal is a first step in addressing the relationship between moneyed interests and preferential access to lawmakers, neither platform amounts to major campaign finance reform that would relieve lawmakers of the need to spend hours on the phone asking for campaign contributions.

What’s more, neither candidate has talked about strengthening the Freedom of Information Act “or about how government ethics rules should work,” said Wonderlich.

WHAT CLINTON SAID

A number of speech excerpts suggest she’s more sympathetic to Wall Street than she may appear on the stump. uIn an Oct. 24, 2013, speech to Goldman Sachs, Clinton seemed to suggest the banking industry was unfairly blamed after the financial collapse, even calling for less regulation. “We need banking. I mean, right now, there are so many places in our country where the banks are not doing what they need to do because they’re scared of regulations, they’re scared of the other shoe

She continued: “There was a lot of complaining about DoddFrank, but there was also a need to do something because for political reasons, if you were an elected member of Congress and people in your constituency were losing jobs and shutting businesses and everybody in the press is saying it’s all the fault of Wall Street, you can’t sit idly by and do nothing.” uAn email from her lead speechwriter Dan Schwerin, regarding a draft of an October 2014 speech to Deutsche Bank, suggests she adjusted her rhetoric on Wall Street for political purposes. “I wrote her a long riff about economic fairness and how the financial industry has lost its way, precisely for the purpose of having something we could show people if ever asked what she was saying behind closed doors for two years to all those fat cats,” he said.

FOREIGN DEALINGS

Some of the emails show foreign governments the U.S. suspects of aiding terrorist groups trying to ingratiate themselves with a former president and secretary of State.

In 2014, Clinton stated in an email that the governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar were “providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL.” Two years prior, Qatar wanted to give Bill Clinton $1 million for his birthday, according to an April 16, 2012, email from Amitabh Desai, the Clinton Foundation’s foreign policy director.

“Qatar … Would like to see WJC ‘for five minutes’ in NYC, to present $1 million check that Qatar promised for WJC’s birthday in 2011,” wrote Desai. Importantly, there is no evidence Clinton accepted that money or met with the officials.

Some emails have been taken out of context and misconstrued.

For instance, online vitriol over comments that Clinton allegedly made that she “hates everyday Americans” is untrue. She said

THE BATTLE FOR MOSUL Iraq’s government launched a key battle to retake Mosul, the country’s second-largest city, from Islamic State control.

A victory for Iraq’s U.S.-trained and equipped forces would spell the end of the militants’ caliphate in Iraq and mark a dramatic defeat for the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. Iraqi and Kurdish forces are pressing in on the city from three major fronts and in the first week of fighting reached near the edge of the city amid moderate resistance. The toughest fighting lies ahead. Determined militants are inside the city and have built a ring of deadly obstacles designed to slow Iraq’s advance. Iraq’s military will have to carefully clear lanes through the obstacles and then begin the difficult job of clearing the city, block by block.

THE IRAQI FORCES

The Islamic State has had two years to build a network of deadly obstacles inside the city.

The collection of different forces will be a challenge to command and control. They include:

3,500

OIL FIRES

CONVENTIONAL FORCES

ISIL has lit trenches filled with oil to obscure its movements from coalition drones and other surveillance aircraft.

About 12 Iraqi and 2 Kurdish brigades. These forces have tanks, artillery, armored vehicles and mine-clearing and other equipment.

They are being used to advance toward the center of the city.

Iraqi forces

ISIL’S SUPPORT AND CONTROL IN IRAQ Over the past year, Iraqi security forces have turned the tide on the Islamic State and have pushed them out of Fallujah, Ramadi and other towns and cities.

TUNNELS

COUNTERTERRORISM FORCES

Militants have built networks of tunnels to defend against coalition airstrikes and to hide from Iraqi forces as they enter the city.

Iraq has a number of elite CT battalions experienced in urban warfare. These forces did much of the fighting in Ramadi and Fallujah when militants were cleared from those cities. The CT forces will do much of the difficult street fighting once inside the city. They are lightly armed but highly trained and disciplined.

IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVES

POLICE AND TRIBAL FORCES

Militants have rigged buildings and buried explosives in an attempt to slow the Iraqi advance. They often use car and truck bombs to attack Iraqis from behind their lines.

Iraq’s government wants to use local forces to hold the city once militants are driven out. The U.S.-led coalition helped train a contingent of local forces who will perform this function so that soldiers and other forces can withdraw once the city has been cleared.

CONCRETE BARRIERS

U.S. ADVISERS

Militants will attempt to fire on Iraqi forces when they are trying to get around or clear such obstacles.

American advisers are positioned with Iraqi and Kurdish brigades, assisting with coordination of airstrikes and providing other support. They are generally positioned at brigade headquarters and are not engaged in direct combat.

MONEYLINE COLLEGE DEBT ASSESSMENT How much does the average American owe post-college?

Maurie Backman of The Motley Fool offers key statistics, courtesy of Student Loan Hero: uThe average class of 2016 graduate racked up just over $37,000 in student debt, up 6% from the previous year. uThe average 20- to 30-yearold American’s monthly student loan payment is $351. u43 million Americans collectively owe $1.3 trillion in student loans.

To an extent, these numbers aren’t shocking given the exorbitant cost of college these days.

The College Board estimates that for the 2015-16 school year, the cost to attend college, including tuition, fees, and room and board where applicable, averaged: u$11,438 for a public two-year school. u$19,548 for public four-year in-state school. u$34,031 for a public fouryear out-of-state school. u$43,921 for a private fouryear non-profit school.

TOP EU LAWMAKER TRIES TO SAVE CANADA TRADE PACT The Belgian region of Wallonia affirmed Saturday it still stands in the way of a trade deal between the 28-nation European Union and Canada, but its leader and a top EU lawmaker were cautiously optimistic the standoff could be resolved within days.

“I think it’s worth taking a little more time,” Walloon leader Paul Magnette said after European AFP/GETTY IMAGES Parliament EU’s Martin President MarSchulz tin Schulz waded into the dispute to salvage the pact.

Politicians in Wallonia, which is smaller than the state of New Jersey, argue that the proposal would undermine labor, environmental and consumer standards and allow multinationals to crush local companies. They vow to thwart a pact that the world’s biggest trading bloc and Canada want to sign Thursday.

Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s international trade minister, walked away from the talks Friday on the verge of tears, saying the EU appeared incapable of signing the deal.

After Saturday’s separate talks with Freeland and Magnette, Schulz told reporters, “To my eyes, there is no problem we cannot resolve.”

A similar free trade agreement being negotiated between the EU and the U.S. is facing far more opposition than the Canada pact. Progress on it appears unlikely until the new U.S. president takes office in January.

Consumers weigh in on likely swallowing up of Time Warner

Jefferson Graham @jeffersongraham USA TODAY

Reaction was swift Saturday on news that wireless giant AT&T was set to swallow up Time Warner, the home of CNN, HBO, Warner Bros. studios and The Big Bang Theory TV series.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he’d oppose the merger, if elected, saying “deals like this destroy democracy.”

On the Twittersphere, commenters had fun with images the combined powerhouses have produced over the years, mixing Warner’s Superman character with the phone booths of AT&T’s landline past.

Analyst Rebecca Lieb suggested that for all the money being spent on joining forces, coming together is “not guaranteed to buy happiness.”

COMPANIES TOTALLY BLOW AWAY PROFIT TARGETS Explosive gains for superstar Netflix — and even some banks Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Investors don’t usually like surprises. But this earnings season has been loaded with the kind they love: better-than-expected profits!

There are 10 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, including video-streamer Netflix, Nike and Goldman Sachs, that not only topped third-quarter profit forecasts but smashed past them by 25% or more, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Powerful earnings surprises are exactly what investors were hoping for going into the thirdquarter earnings season. Coming into earnings season, analysts were calling for 0.7% lower earnings from companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500, says S&P Global. If those estimates were correct, companies would report the fifth-straight quarter of lower earnings.

But views have turned markedly more positive since companies started beating views.

Analysts now think S&P 500 profit will be roughly flat or even positive, says John Butters, analyst at financial data firm Factset.

“Companies are beating on the top line and bottom line by more than we usually see,” he says.

With more than 70 S&P 500 companies reporting, so far 78% have beaten earnings estimates, topping the 67% that have on average the past five years, Butters says.

A ‘lucky penny’ worth $1,000 could be hidden in your city Mary Bowerman USA TODAY Network

Deep thoughts could mean deep pockets because financial company Ally recently hid 100 fake pennies in 10 U.S. cities.

Those lucky enough to find

them will get $1,000.

The fake pennies feature the Detroit-based bank’s logo instead of Abraham Lincoln’s head. The flip side of the coin lists its value at 100,000 cents.

According to Ally, some 10 billion pennies are minted each year, but nearly half fall out of circulation. The company wants to remind people that every cent is worth saving. Remember the guy

who put $5,000 in his bank account after cashing in pennies he saved for 45 years?

The company notes that lost or thrown away pennies result in millions of lost dollars each year.

“Deals like this destroy democracy.”

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump

Many pointed back to the initial Time merger, when the thenTime Inc. powerhouse of magazines (since shed), cable TV (also shed) and entertainment programming joined forces with AOL, in a disastrous $164 billion deal that renamed the company AOL Time Warner.

The stock value went on to tumble from $226 billion to about $20 billion. Time Warner eventually got rid of AOL in 2009 and went back to being called Time Warner.

The biggest issue with that merger came down to culture, said Lieb. “The companies didn’t know how to deal with one another.”

Jeffrey Chester, executive director for the Center for Digital Democracy, said the deal raises a wide range of consumer issues, including privacy.

“A new stranglehold is being placed on our communications landscape, as already dominant cable and telephone monopolies devour former partners or competitors,” he said.

“Through the growing capability of mobile phones to follow and geo-target us everywhere we go — the supermarket, while in a car, or even on the street — these new broadband ISP/mobile/TV giants are extending their powerful digital tentacles further into our lives,” Chester continued.

The proposed merger is in response to wireless competitor Verizon, which picked up AOL and has proposed adding Yahoo to its portfolio to enhance its content.

It also comes after Comcast joined forces with NBC Universal.

“There is huge competition between the companies that control the pipes,” said Lieb. “They want content right now.”

Father worth more as person than inheritance Dear Annie: I am 90 years old and, considering my age, in fairly good health. My wife of 60 years died seven years ago. Almost all of my wartime buddies are gone, as well as my high-school friends. I live in relative comfort in a retirement home.

My two grown children live far away, but thanks to the internet, we keep in touch almost weekly. Thanks to a rather frugal life and some investments, I have no money problems. The problem is that as of late, I am obsessed with the thought, which tends to keep me awake at night, that it is my parental duty to die as soon as possible so as not to deplete the inheritance any further.

The thought itself does not bother me, as I feel that I have lived a most interesting and excit-

That’s still true now.

Imagine the heartache they would feel to know you took your own life.

‘Walking Dead’ returns It’s the Super Bowl for zombie fans, the seventh season premiere of “The Walking Dead” (8 p.m. AMC, TV-MA).

How popular is this series?

You could say that other cable programmers have been chased to the “Edge of Alaska” (9 p.m.

Discovery, TV-14). That docuseries enters its second season with Neil planning to open the Motherlode mine to visiting tourists.

Doesn’t that pretty much sum up reality TV? Most of the businesses “d o c u mented” on these shows are h a r d l y moneymakers.

Whether they are about fishing, logging, gold-panning, ghosthunting, chopper-building or housewifing, they only become profitable as “virtual” activities and made-for-television spectacles. And even then, a surprising number of the “stars” of these series have ended up in bankruptcy court. Something to think about as a reality star runs for president.

O Virtual realities and illusions certainly predate reality TV. “China’s Megatomb Revealed” (8 p.m. National Geographic, TV-14) explores new discoveries and discusses emerging theories about the remarkable terra-cotta “army” of soldiers found buried in northern China some four decades ago.

Newly unearthed tombs offer macabre details. Many contain the bones of imperial concubines festooned with jewelry.

Some even theorize that the tombs offer evidence of contact between China and the West that predated Marco Polo by a thousand years.

Tonight’s other highlights O Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6:30 p.m., CBS): Ohio votes; a financial adviser bilks NFL players; emerging stars of social media advertising. l Eric tries to keep the company on an even keel on “Secrets and Lies” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-14).

You are so much greater than the sum of your assets, and I’m sure that if your family members knew you were feeling this way, they would tell you the same thing.

Dear Annie: I was recently married and had a big, fancy, expensive wedding. I limited guests to close friends, relatives and just a few “friends” from work.

The cost per plate was $125.

Here is the problem: One of the “friends” from work I invited was with her on-again, off-again boyfriend at the time. After receiving her invitation, she asked me at work whether she could bring him. Being put on the spot, I told her she could bring him.

Well, the wedding came, and they both came, ate, drank at

the free open bar and danced.

After our honeymoon, my husband and I opened all the cards and gifts. There was nothing from her, not even a card. I never said anything to her about it but rather stayed cool toward her afterward.

The question is: Should I have said something to her about it? — Wondering in Upstate New York Dear Wondering: Traditional etiquette holds that guests have up to one year after a wedding to send a gift, although ideally they should send their gifts within two months.

One set away from a spot in the Class 6A state tournament Saturday, Free State High junior Cameryn Thomas wasn’t going to let anything stand in her way.

Thomas plays her best when she’s angry and she took it all out against Washburn Rural defenders, drilling seven kills in the set. That included back-to-back kills to seal

a 25-20, 25-20 sub-state finals victory at FSHS. It’s the fifth time the Firebirds have advanced to the Class 6A state tournament, the first time since 2004.

During one stretch, the 5-foot-7 Thomas, an athletic point guard for the girls basketball team, drilled three straight kills from the left side of the net.

THE COWBOY WAY Miscues wreck Kansas’ chances

Even on a homecoming afternoon when the University of Kansas football team teased the 26,262 in attendance at Memorial Stadium into thinking the Jayhawks just might stick around and give Oklahoma State a legitimate battle, KU’s upset bid Saturday only lasted as long as the offense’s ability to steer clear of self-inflicted wounds.

With junior Montell Cozart once again starting at quarterback, Kansas thrived on ball security throughout the first half Saturday, before the all-too-familiar snags known as fumbles and interceptions piled up in the third quarter, giving the Cowboys all the fuel they needed to put KU away and secure a 44-20 victory.

The KU faithful, who saw the program drop its sixth straight game of the season and 16th consecutive Big 12 outing, no doubt anticipated the kind of mistakes that tend to give momentum to Jayhawks opponents, and those eventually arrived in waves in the third quarter, following a mistakefree first half.

Down just four points to open the second half, KU finally coughed the

Cozart helps KU end quarterback controversy Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas head football coach David Beaty didn’t come right out and say that his team has one starting quarterback, and that barring injuries, that won’t change for the rest of the season.

He didn’t need to say it. Everything the coach said about eyes, those of

Saturday’s starter Montell Cozart in a 44-20 loss to Oklahoma State, and those of teammates looking at the quarterback they want to follow, said plenty.

Beaty had talked earlier in the week about how two-week starter Ryan Willis needed to

learn to use his eyes better to avoid getting stuck on one target.

Beaty repeatedly referred to how well Cozart fared Saturday in that area.

“We go back and look at the bodies of work and see who doesn’t put us in jeopardy with regard

to reads,” Beaty said.

“You’ve got to read. I mean, you don’t get to pick guys out in college football. When you do, it hurts. It’s not good.

It comes to the tune of picks all over the place.”

Willis threw six interceptions in two weeks.

“He did a really nice

job with his eyes today,” Beaty said of Cozart, who has not been sacked this season.

Willis has been sacked 16 times. It’s just one of the factors that made it easy for Beaty to say that Cozart will start at

Big 12 No. 12 W. Virginia 34, TCU 10 Morgantown, W.Va. — Skyler Howard threw four touchdown passes and West Virginia’s improving defense held TCU scoreless in the second half of a win.

West Virginia (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) is off to its best start since winning its first seven games in 2006.

Howard had first-half TD tosses of 10, 22 and 11 yards to three different receivers to stake West Virginia to a 21-10 halftime lead. Howard finished 16 of 23 passing for 231 yards.

No. 16 Oklahoma 66, Texas Tech 59 Lubbock, Texas — Baker Mayfield had seven touchdown passes and 545 yards to help Oklahoma beat Texas Tech in the game that broke the NCAA record for combined offensive yards with 1,708 yards.

Mayfield completed 27 of 36 passes and broke the school game touchdown mark of six held by Landy Jones. His TD passes went for 56, 49, 23, 23, 43, 34 and 15 yards.

Joe Mixon caught three touchdown passes and Dede Westbrook had two for the Sooners (5-2, 4-0 Big 12).

Mixon also ran for two touchdowns, a 46-yarder and a 42-yarder. He finished with 263 yards rushing and 114 yards receiving.

He’s the first Sooner ever to reach 200 yards rushing and 100 receiving in the same game.

Kansas State 24, Texas 21 Manhattan — Jesse Ertz ran for two touchdowns and threw for another score, Kansas State held Texas running back D’Onta Foreman in check and the Wildcats held on for a victory.

Kansas State (4-3, 2-2 Big 12) beat the Longhorns (3-4, 1-3) for the fifth straight time at home, and almost certainly turned up the heat on Texas coach Charlie Strong.

He dropped to 14-18 with the Longhorns, and has lost 3 of his last 4 games. Texas forced three turnovers without committing one, but was done in by nine penalties, two failed fourthdown conversions, and a badly missed 35-yard field-goal attempt with just over 4 minutes left that would have made it a 24-17 game.

Kansas City, Mo. — Marcus Peters has duped just about every quarterback he has faced into throwing an interception to him, whether it was Peyton Manning a year ago or Derek Carr just last weekend.

He’d love nothing more than to add Drew Brees to his growing list today.

The ball-hawking Peters will be tasked with leading an opportunistic Kansas City Chiefs defense against the prolific passing attack of Brees and the New Orleans Saints. It’s an important game for both teams with Kansas City coming off a momentum-building win over Oakland and New Orleans having won two straight after a calamitous start to the season.

“It’s the NFL. Every week you’re coming in against the best,” said Peters, who has a league-leading five picks this season. “You have to prepare for every quarterback to throw for 400 yards.”

But here’s the rub: Brees actually does throw for 400 yards.

Twice this season, in fact.

HIGH SCHOOLS HUB:

The 37-year-old Brees threw for 465 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Saints (2-3) to a 41-38 victory over Carolina last weekend. It was a performance that showcased the breadth and depth of the New Orleans offense, from high-flying wide receiver Brandin Cooks to tight end Coby Fleener.

Brees found four different players for touchdown passes.

“I don’t have enough good things to say about him. He’s a phenomenal player,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “He works at the profession, he’s relentless. Is he getting better? Maybe he doesn’t run as fast, but he sure has the skill throwing the football.”

He also doesn’t make many mistakes, at least not this year.

He’s only thrown four picks.

That should cause all kinds of heartburn for the Chiefs (32), who lost defensive end Allen Bailey and linebacker Justin March for the season this week, and could be without cornerback Phillip Gaines, who is dealing with a knee injury after having surgery to repair his ACL last year.

All of which puts even more pressure on Peters to make plays.

“When you see him, any errant throw or ball off-target, he gets his hands on. He has elite hands,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. “You have to be decisive and your location has to be spot on. He can run, he can tackle. I think he’s one of the real, real talented good, young corners in our league.”

The matchup between Brees and Peters is only part of the intrigue today. Here are some of the other story lines: Rare rivals: The Saints and Chiefs have only played 10 times, and have not met in Kansas City since November 2008.

But the two coaches are a bit more familiar with each other since Reid spent so many years in the NFC with the Eagles.

“He’s been (producing) a playoff-type caliber team and organization (wherever he’s been),” said Payton, who is 3-1 against Reid, “and I consider him a close friend.”

Ground game: Sure, the Saints only ran for 63 yards against Carolina, and they’re averaging

just 78 yards per game. But with such a dynamic pass attack, Payton is only looking for some consistency on the ground to keep defenses honest.

Ware it well: The Chiefs showed against Oakland that Spencer Ware will continue to be a big part of their offense even with Jamaal Charles back to speed. Ware ran for 131 yards and the Chiefs had 183 yards rushing, which took pressure off quarterback Alex Smith to lead the way.

“They all have different strengths,” Smith said. “That’s what you can get to, those guys feeding off each other.”

Rising rookie: Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas, drafted in the second round out of Ohio State, doesn’t figure to be as outspoken as his uncle, Keyshawn Johnson, in demanding the ball.

He doesn’t need to be, because Brees is already looking for him.

Thomas leads the Saints with 26 receptions, which ties with the Giants’ Sterling Shephard for the rookie lead. Thomas also has a TD catch in each of his last three games.

KU’s Vick more comfortable with role

By Evan Riggs eriggs@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KU SOPHOMORE Lagerald Vick worked to improve his jump shot this offseason.

After practicing patience during his first season as a Jayhawk, Kansas sophomore Lagerald Vick is determined to carve out a role for himself, and his teammates have taken notice.

“He’s been putting in the unrequired work, and it really shows,” said senior Frank Mason. “He will be a huge key to our team, and I’m looking forward to getting out there and competing with him.”

Vick, a sophomore

from Memphis, appeared in 19 of the Jayhawks’ 38 games last season, averaging 2.1 points per game on 47 percent shooting beyond the arc. Even so, the first thing Vick sought to improve this offseason was his jump shot, which teammate Devonté Graham said was “way better” than last season.

“I feel like I made a huge step up,” Vick said.

“My confidence went up, especially from last year.

I took a lot of shots over the summer.”

Even with the extra at-

tention on his shot and the departures of three-point bombers Brannen Greene and Wayne Selden Jr., Vick still figures to face plenty of competition for playing time.

Mason and Graham are cemented as the starting backcourt, and standout freshman Josh Jackson is expected to join them.

That leaves junior Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and Vick to battle for minutes off the bench.

That competition doesn’t bother Vick, who said it was great for the team to have so many

LHS 4th at state gymnastics

By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

Overland Park — Lawrence High and Free State gymnastics coach Brooke Santee knew that Saturday’s state meet was going to be tightly contested.

The margin of error was thin for both teams, and both schools responded with strong scores at Shawnee Mission South.

Lawrence took home fourth with a score of 100.575, while Free State finished sixth with a mark of 99.725.

“I’m really proud of all them,” Santee said. “From third all the way down to eighth, we knew it was

going to be close.”

The Lions finished less than a point away from taking home a medal. SM West claimed the bronze with a score of 101.3.

Olathe East (108.200) and Newton (107.975) finished well above the pack at first and second, respectively.

Josie Hickerson was the only gymnast from the two Lawrence schools to place in an event.

The LHS sophomore finished tied for sixth in vault with a mark of 9.05.

Afterward, Hickerson noted that her confidence has grown after closing out her campaign strongly. She placed sixth in the Sunflower League meet on the floor exercise.

“I’ve made so many improvements,” Hickerson said. “I’ve added a bunch of difficulty. My confidence has gone up so that has helped with my consistency.”

Hickerson’s feat at state was more impressive after deciding to switch things up on vault the day before the meet.

In Friday’s practice, however, it did not work as she fell on her face multiple times.

But with a more spacious gym, Hickerson was able to nail down her vault at the most opportune time.

Though Hickerson was the only one to medal in an event, multiple athletes posted personal-best

performances against the highest competition.

Free State senior Landon Prideaux closed out her gymnastics career with what she felt was her best outing. Prideaux scored a 7.425 on the beam to finish 28th.

“I had a really good beam routine,” Prideaux said. “I gave it my all because I knew it was my last chance.”

The Firebirds’ highest scorer was freshman Liliana King-Wilson, who finished 12th all-around.

King-Wilson scored a 33.85, with her highest mark coming on the vault at 9.0. Hickerson ended one spot above her on the all-around with a mark of 33.950.

FREE STATE VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS POSE WITH THEIR REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP PLAQUE after beating Washburn Rural in straights sets Saturday at FSHS to advance to the state tournament.

Defensively, the Firebirds were lifted by juniors Erin Cushing and Murphy O’Malley. Their serve receive, something they’ve worked on all season, was strong in the final set.

At the net, Rachel Hickman, a Kansas commit, recorded a team-best six blocks, teaming up a few times with senior Natalie Clarke.

“We just had some fire,” said Naomi Hickman, the school’s all-time leader in kills. “We really wanted to go to state.

We’ve worked for it the whole season. I think we felt like we deserved it and we worked hard for it.”

Free State trailed for a total of four points in the second set, pulling away when the Hickman sisters traded kills for a 16-13 lead. Then freshman Kaitlyn Hamilton found a rhythm with three kills to trade points with the fourth-seeded Junior Blues (25-15).

The two schools played twice last week at the Emporia tournament — Free State winning both matches in three sets.

Despite the saying that it’s tough to beat a team three times in a season — this time, a week — the Firebirds were confident and prepared, especially after their fast start.

“Things were work-

ing for us,” senior Payton Gannaway said. “We’ve been practicing and watching film on them, working on attacking their weaknesses. It was just working.”

Before their sub-state games — the Firebirds beat Wichita Southeast in the first round, 25-9, 25-7 — Hoffsommer read from sheets of paper where all of the Firebirds wrote why they enjoy playing volleyball.

“Inevitably, almost all of them put, ‘I love my teammates. I love to play for my team,’” Hoffsommer said. “And that’s what they did. They played for their team today.”

LHS volleyball falls at sub-state

By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

Olathe — Lawrence High volleyball coach Stephanie Magnuson couldn’t help but want another set after it was all over at the Olathe North gymnasium Saturday.

The seventh-seeded Lions were handed a twoset loss to second-seeded Olathe East in the first round of sub-state. The Lions finished the year with a 12-26 record.

“We made great strides all season,” Magnuson said. “We developed a lot of confidence. We played aggressive and maintained great ball control all season.”

But the second set was far more competitive than the first. In the

first set, Lawrence was handed a lopsided loss by a score of 25-12.

Magnuson chalked the double-digit loss up to nerves.

“The nerves of the first set were there,” Magnuson said. “We are a relatively young team. I wish we had one more set. We could get one off.”

The nerves were settled by the time the team got back on the court for the second set. The Lions battled back and forth throughout the match and played more aggressively.

It took two different tries at match point, but ultimately the Eagles handed them a two-point loss, 2624, to end their season.

“It was good that we battled back,” senior Abby Percich said. “I

think we were a little timid the first set. The second set we were really just focusing on going out and swinging hard.”

Percich was one of three seniors to end their prep volleyball career Saturday. Amelia Dunlap and Alexia Anglin joined Percich as the leaders of an infant squad this season.

Under the guidance of the three seniors, the team took massive strides this year despite a losing record. So much so, that Percich believes that this season was just the foundation for something greater in the near future.

“A lot of them are so young that they have a really good future ahead of them,” Percich said.

“I like to think I helped

guide them. They are going to progress so much.

When they are seniors, I hope they win state.”

Sophomore Baylee Unruh is one of those key young players for the future. Unruh led with nine of the team’s 15 kills on the afternoon. Sophomore Brooke Wroten also notched a pair of kills.

LHS junior Laurel Bird and sophomore Laura Willoughby each logged six assists each. Sophomore Lauren Maceli recorded eight digs.

“Every year the Lawrence High volleyball team works really hard,” Magnuson said. “Every year they improve from Day One to the final day.

And that’s all we can really ask for as a coaching staff.”

podcast, Self said Vick, along with sophomore Carlton Bragg, had made the biggest jumps from last season.

“My presence should help the team a lot,” Vick said. “(I can) get extra possessions, bring energy, and be a lockdown defender.”

It doesn’t hurt that Graham and Mason — entering their second and third seasons as starters, respectively — have both taken Vick under their wings.

“Those guys taught me a lot,” Vick said.

BRIEFLY FSHS girls win regional title Manhattan — Behind a 1-2 finish from seniors Emily Venters and Kiran Cordes, Free State’s girls cross country team won a regional title Saturday at Warner Park.

Venters won her sixth race of the season, finishing in 17:56. Cordes followed in 18:39 for regional runner-up honors while senior Abigail Zenger took seventh and sophomore Julia Larkin placed ninth.

It was the third regional title since 2013 for the FSHS girls cross country team.

Free State’s boys runners took third, qualifying the entire team for the Class 6A state meet.

Sophomore Landon Sloan placed seventh in 16:43, while junior Jared Hicks was 14th and junior Avant Edwards was 17th.

Jumping Eagle, DeWitt qualify

Free State coach Amy Hoffsommer said. “Something about Washburn Rural and her. I think it stems from basketball, too. I think she has a little angst there with them, but whatever it was, it was beautiful. I loved it.”

Highlighted by Thomas, the top-seeded Firebirds (33-6) were at their best offensively and had a .268 hit percentage, committing only seven errors to their 26 kills.

“It’s amazing, Cameryn is so good,” senior middle blocker Naomi Hickman said. “When she gets a fire under her butt like that, it’s crazy.”

Free State never trailed in the first set, jumping to a 20-12 advantage with a balanced offensive attack. Hickman, a Creighton commit, had four kills, smashing shots over blockers on passes from setters Mya Gleason and Jenalee Dickson.

On one play in the opening set, Hickman went to the ground for a dig and the ball ricochet all the way over the net to the back corner for a kill. It was just that kind of day where everything was working.

different weapons. The talented backcourt has prompted Kansas coach Bill Self to ponder using more four-guard lineups this season.

Jackson is a huge reason for that. But Vick may be just as key. After saying last week that Vick had been putting pressure on everybody in practice with his strong play, the sophomore guard’s development may hold equal importance in the four-guard look.

Last week, during CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein’s weekly college basketball

Overland Park — Lawrence High junior Carson Jumping Eagle and sophomore Anna DeWitt are both headed to the Class 6A cross country meet for the first time in their careers.

Jumping Eagle and DeWitt qualified as individuals — the first five runners who aren’t members of state qualifying teams — at their regional Saturday at Johnson County Community College. Jumping Eagle was 13th in the boys race in 17:20, while DeWitt took 12th in the girls race in 20:13.

Both of Lawrence’s cross country teams took seventh in the team standings.

Oklahoma in Norman.

“I thought Montell did a nice job of not getting (offensive linemen) exposed by getting rid of the ball on time, using his eyes,” Beaty said.

“That’s really how it can work when you do it correctly.”

Beaty said of Cozart, “I was really proud of him.

The thing I was most proud of is if you look at that locker room in there and how much they’re behind Montell Cozart, that’s cool to see, because he deserves it.”

Veterans who have been in the program with Cozart for four seasons admire him for his consistent personality, humble demeanor, friendly way and remarkably thick skin in the face of constant criticism.

Twitter paints a bigger target on the back of a losing quarterback than anything ever has and Cozart doesn’t allow the vitriol to change him.

Younger players appreciate him because he treats everyone the same, with kindness and respect, as an equal.

Cozart never will be a great quarterback, but he’ll never stop trying to develop into a good one.

A junior who has started games in parts of four seasons and was granted a fifth year of eligibility with a medical redshirt in injury-shortened 2015, Cozart’s not an average Big 12 quarterback yet, but has improved in the area of avoiding sacks and throwing more accurate long balls.

The next step for him will be turning speed into the ability to gain yards as a runner, something Beaty no longer will shy from because Cozart’s separated shoulder from earlier this season has healed.

“Looking forward to it so I can get out there in space and run around a little bit,” Cozart said. “I feel like that will add a dimension to our offense that will scare people a

KANSAS QUARTERBACK MONTELL COZART TAKES OFF on a run during the second quarter Saturday in Memorial Stadium. little bit, put pressure on the defense for when we run a zone read. If I pull it, I can get us five, six yards and keep us moving forward.”

Cozart explained how he has managed to better use his feet in avoiding sacks.

“The game just slows down,” he said. “It’s just slowing down every time I’m out there. It goes back to just study, study, study, being a film junkie, knowing what they’re trying to do to us. That way you can get the ball off, even when they’re blitzing and we have just five guys protecting, knowing exactly where to go with the ball without getting hit.”

Asked for specifics that demonstrate he is a “film junkie,” Cozart obliged.

“I’m here crazy hours.

I’m watching film at home, two or three hours,” he said. “I’m watching film in class sometimes, if we’re not doing anything. Any time I get a chance to watch some film, I’m definitely watching. I’ve got it on my iPhone, my iPad, computer. Wherever I’m at, I have one of those devices with some film on it. I’m always in the lab watching.”

His talent and instincts for the position are such that a coach always will be on the lookout for a quarterback who poses a greater threat as a runner and throws with more accuracy. His personality is such that he will be the quarterback a coach will choose to lead the team if there isn’t another on the roster with clearly better

skill and/or instincts.

During Cozart’s two weeks on the bench, more than just Willis’ performance determined the team’s starting quarterback.

In talking about his expectations of Cozart during the temporary benching, Beaty said, “No. 1, one of the finestcharacter kids I’ve ever been around in my life.

So the way he handled the last two weeks, I mean, you would expect nothing different out of Montell Cozart.”

Beaty tends toward excessive use of superlatives about his players, but my view from a distance differs not an iota from the coach’s up-close-and-personal, “one of the finest-character kids I’ve ever been around” Cozart read.

but for us we’re in such a situation right now that you feel like you have to play mistake-free football, because it’s hard to overcome it. That score gets up to 37 pretty quick, and you’re like, ‘What in the world just happened? And how did it get there?’ You can’t let yourself stew on it too long, because you need to get back out there and get that thing in the end zone.”

Indeed, KU’s fourth second-half possession ended with its third lost turnover of the quarter.

Cozart (24-for-40, 250 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions) saw junior receiver LaQuvionte Gonzalez breaking open deep and lofted a pass his direction. However, as Gonzalez (six receptions, 106 yards, one touchdown) looked the ball in, it deflected off his helmet and into the hands of senior safety Jordan Sterns. Two improbable laterals and runs later, the Cowboys’ defense had them in position for another Ben Grogan field goal (three-for-three on the day).

Beaty said afterward he didn’t blame Cozart, whom he announced would replace sophomore Ryan Willis as KU’s starter hours before the game, for his two interceptions. Not that those words made the miscues any easier to live with for Cozart.

“It was tough,” the fourth-year junior said of the third quarter. “It was a couple of plays. I mean, the one with Quiv, that was, I don’t know what you call it. That was just crazy. And then the one over the middle, like

coach said, they got us on that one. They got me.

They hadn’t showed that (on video) with that nose guard dropping into coverage.”

After his team’s turnover total for the season reached 25, Beaty said the 17 points OSU (5-2, 3-1) scored off Kansas mistakes in the third quarter ended his team’s chances at that elusive upset win.

“The fumble really, really hurt. That one killed us,” Beaty said. “But we had a couple of other mistakes. The botched catch in the end zone (Martin mishandled it, then had to gather the ball in the field of play, while Shakiem Barbel committed a holding penalty) there right as we came out of halftime, that killed us. We’re backed up inside our 10 again and that’s a hard place to start.”

The underdog Jayhawks actually led most of the first half thanks to a quick one-two punch, courtesy of both their defense and offense. On third-and-11 at KU’s 26yard line, junior OSU quarterback Mason Rudolph (16-for-24 passing, 220 yards, one TD) could neither get rid of the ball nor evade blitzing safety Fish Smithson. The senior defensive back from Baltimore took down Rudolph, knocked the ball out and recovered it before any nearby Cowboys could scramble to prevent the turnover.

On the very next play, Beaty called for a Cozart deep ball to Gonzalez and the junior hauled it in for a 68-yard, go-ahead touchdown.

Coming off a 49-7 drubbing last week at Baylor,

KU desperately needed that kind of momentumbuilding sequence early to bolster some hope.

Said Beaty: “We’d like to play that way. That’s a lot better than playing from behind. So, yeah, that’s something obviously most teams want to do. We were able to do it early today. What really is frustrating for all of us is that it kind of got out of hand really quickly (in the third quarter). And I don’t think it was indicative of how the game was played, and that’s what’s frustrating for me. I thought we could have been in that game until the very end, and we made too many mistakes there at the end that led to points. In this conference you can’t do it.”

The Cowboys didn’t take a lead until 2:47 remained in the first half, when Justice Hill (22 rushes, 162 yards, one TD), twice stopped inside the one-yard line, finished off a five-play, 74-yard drive by breaking across the goal line.

But OSU steadily pulled away in the second half, and the Cowboys beat KU 482-454 in total yardage.

In his first appearance since KU’s loss at Texas Tech, Cozart set personal season-highs with 250 yards passing and 24 completions.

Said sophomore receiver Steven Sims Jr., who benefited from the QB’s return with a ninecatch, 90-yard showing: “In the passing game, I feel like we were making some plays, but we just didn’t make enough to win the game.”

OKLAHOMA STATE RUNNING BACK JUSTICE HILL (27) TAKES OFF UP THE SIDELINE as the Kansas defense trails during the first quarter Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

NOTEBOOK

Smithson claims first career sack

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

When Kansas safety Fish Smithson delivered the first sack of his college career in the first quarter Saturday against Oklahoma State, the impact of the play didn’t stop with junior quarterback Mason Rudolph heading toward the Memorial Stadium turf.

Smithson, a 5-foot-11 senior from Baltimore, also forced a fumble and recovered the ball on his first QB takedown.

“That wasn’t easy, but I think someone came around and blocked his vision over the top,” Smithson said following KU’s 44-20 loss, “and I kind of came in on a late blitz and looked down and saw how he had the ball low, hanging low. We always talk — quarterbacks got bad ball security, so I went in there and tried to rip it out.”

In one motion, Smithson created and recovered the second fumble of his career.

“He had the ball on his hip and I just went in and grabbed it and took it out of his hands,” Smithson shared, “and just fell on it to make sure I had it recovered.”

One big play, it turned out, set up another, as the offense followed through with a 68yard touchdown pass from Montell Cozart to LaQuvionte Gonzalez, giving KU an early 7-0 lead and the confidence to keep the game close as long as it could, which turned out to be the third quarter.

Instead of playing from behind in the first quarter, as so often is the case for the beleaguered Jayhawks (1-6 overall, 0-4 Big 12), they actually got to play with a lead and only trailed 17-13 at the half.

“I think the defense came in this week and kind of put that on our shoulders,” Smithson said. “We need to go out there and make a play, then we’ll get things to start going.”

It was the biggest play of Smithson’s career-best day, featuring 16 total tackles.

“That was the game plan,” the safety said.

“I knew I was gonna be needed in the box, so I came with it.”

KANSAS HEAD COACH DAVID BEATY SHOWS HIS FRUSTRATION after an Oklahoma State field goal.

KANSAS RUNNING BACK KE’AUN KINNER (22) evades Oklahoma State linebacker Devante Averette (40).

A BALL BOUNCES OFF OF KANSAS WIDE RECEIVER LaQuvionte Gonzalez (1), who is wrapped up by Oklahoma State linebacker James Lewis (41), to OSU safety Jordan Sterns (13) on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

seconds remaining in the first half, Jayhawks head coach David Beaty elected to send senior kicker Matt Wyman onto the field for a 59-yard fieldgoal attempt instead of asking Cozart to heave a pass toward the end zone for the final play before Long field-goal attempt the break. backfires OSU senior defensive With his team trail- tackle Motekiai Maile ing by four and only five blocked Wyman’s kick

behind the line of scrimmage.

“We think he can make it. We’ve seen him do it on several occasions,” Beaty said of the decision. “He had hit two (field goals of 29 and 40 yards) I think at that point going in. He’s involved in our decisionmaking, as is (special teams coordinator Joe) DeForest, and both those guys felt good about it.

Probably the reason it got blocked was he was driving it a little bit. That’s obviously a little risky.

But I felt better about that than what most people think. He’s got a really, really strong leg and we felt like he could make it, and we wanted to go in (at the half) with points.

We were trying to be aggressive. … And I felt better about that than a Hail

Mary, because we haven’t had a lot of those at this point. We haven’t executed them much. We’ve had a lot more field goals.”

As it turned out, the career-long attempt for Wyman, which came on first down, was recovered

by KU, so the half actually ended with the Jayhawks taking a knee from their own 49-yard line with one second on the clock.

Wyman’s career-best field goal of 52 yards came in 2013 against Louisiana Tech, in the final seconds to send KU to victory.

KU missing a running back Though the Jayhawks rushed for 204 yards and averaged 6.2 yards a carry against Oklahoma State (5-2, 3-1), they did so without the use of true freshman running back Khalil Herbert.

Beaty said the speedy 5-foot-9 runner from Coral Springs, Fla., had a toe sprain that kept him out of the lineup.

“We thought we might be able to get him going, but towards the end of the week (Friday) he just wasn’t able to push off of it,” KU’s coach said. “So we went with the guys that we had and tried to get him some rest so we could get him back for next week. We definitely need him.”

In his absence, senior back Ke’aun Kinner led the ground attack with 145 yards — the most for a KU rusher since Kinner went for 157 against South Dakota State in 2015. Sophomore Taylor Martin ran for 32 yards on 11 carries with a touchdown.

The play of the running backs stood out to sophomore receiver Steven Sims Jr.: “I felt like they had a great day today, and that always opens up the passing game for us,” Sims said, “so I hope they continue to go to work and prepare every day and we’ll be successful.”

at Cleveland on Tuesday night. The Indians haven’t won it all since 1948 — Cleveland and Cubs have the two longest title waits in the majors.

“This city deserves it so much,” Rizzo said.

“We got four more big ones to go, but we’re going to enjoy this. We’re going to the World Series. I can’t even believe that.”

All-everything Javier Baez and pitcher Jon Lester shared the NLCS MVP. Baez hit .318, drove in five runs and made several sharp plays at second base.

Lester, a former World Series champion in Boston, was 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA in two starts against the Dodgers.

Deemed World Series favorites since opening day, the Cubs topped the majors with 103 wins to win the NL Central, then beat the Giants and Dodgers in the playoffs.

The Cubs overcame a 2-1 deficit against the Dodgers and won their 17th pennant. They had not earned a World Series trip since winning a doubleheader opener 4-3 at Pittsburgh on Sept. 29, 1945, to clinch the pennant on the nextto-last day of the season.

The eternal “wait till next year” is over. No more dwelling on a history of failure — the future is now.

“We’re too young. We don’t care about it,” star slugger Kris Bryant said.

“We don’t look into it.

This is a new team, this is a completely different time of our lives. We’re enjoying it and our work’s just getting started.”

Chapman took over and closed with hitless relief, then threw both arms in the air as he was mobbed by teammates and coaches.

The Cubs shook off back-to-back shutout losses earlier in this series by pounding the Dodgers for 23 runs to win the final three games.

And they were in no way overwhelmed by the moment on Saturday, putting aside previous frustration.

In 1945, the Billy Goat Curse supposedly began when a tavern owner wasn’t allowed to bring his goat to Wrigley. In 2003, the Cubs lost the final three games of the NLCS to Florida, punctuated with a Game 6 defeat when fan Steve Bartman deflected a foul ball.

LAWRENCE ARTIST JEREMY ROCKWELL IS PICTURED WITH HIS SCULPTURE “EAGLE 1,” which makes an aggressive portrayal of the American patriotic icon. This sculpture and several others of Rockwell’s will be shown on Oct. 28 for Final Fridays at the Bourgeois Pig, 6 E. Ninth St.

‘PINNACLE OF NUTTINESS’ Political state of affairs a dominating theme this Final Friday

f going downtown to unwind and unplug yourself from the presidential election, the talking heads and hot-button political issues is on your agenda for the upcoming Final Fridays, let this serve as a warning to steer clear of several works of art. Do not let your eyeballs gaze inside the Bourgeois Pig at Jeremy Rockwell’s show, and certainly resist the temptation to be challenged, persuaded, dissuaded, confused or possibly even provoked by the Platform exhibition at the Lawrence Arts Center.

“Certainly there is a long history of artists that are socially or politically engaged,” says Ben Ahlvers, curator of Platform at the Lawrence Arts Center, which is currently on display and billed as being timed to sync with the 2016 presidential election. “There is more work being made as a reaction to or in relation to (the election) and what’s going on right now. I guess we’re sort of

“There is more work being made as a reaction to or in relation to (the election) and what’s going on right now. I guess we’re sort of at the pinnacle of nuttiness.”

— Ben Ahlvers, curator of Platform at the Lawrence Arts Center at the pinnacle of nuttiness.”

Although the current political climate may be overbearingly stressful for some, for Lawrence artist Jeremy Rockwell, co-founder of SeedCo Studios, it offers a path toward creating, as evidenced by his sculpture, Eagle 1. The piece features the iconic symbol of American patriotism appearing in full attack mode with a menacing glare, wings spread and talons protruding. The bone structure of the wings and blade-like feathers are slats removed and repurposed from chair backs and window shutters. In addition, wire curves

as this ever happened to you?

You’re at work, thinking about, say, Fermat’s theories, and an idea is sparked for an intriguing short story. But then you realize you really know nothing about the foundation of such a story, and it would take a long time to learn it.

So you spend, oh, four years learning what you need to and writing it up.

The story gets published in a small magazine, and the next thing you know it wins a bunch of awards! On top of that, years later, Hollywood picks it up and signs on several big-name actors!

Yeah, never happened to me either.

It has, however, happened to a technical writer named Ted Chiang.

You may not have heard of Ted Chiang, but he is a quiet master of the science fiction short story with whom you would do well to become acquainted, even if you rarely read science fiction and/ or short stories.

I found out about him only because I was pulled into a teaser for an upcoming movie and wanted to know more about it.

That movie, “Arrival,” is due out soon, and its backstory is what I’ve described in the first paragraph. The short story on which it’s based can be found in a collection of Chiang’s works called “Stories of Your Life and Others.”

Chiang’s fresh approach is apparent right away in this compilation with an expanded telling of the tale of the “Tower of Babylon” — his first published story, and also an award-winner. Reading on, one quickly begins to get a sense of the direction of his questing — “How might this come to be?” Such philosophical or even evolutionary probing appears again and again in his stories, whether he’s grappling with time travel or ways of knowing — or both at the same time.

He cites Alan Turing

unpredictable, fascinating, sometimes hard to follow, and (maybe after a second reading) mindblowing.

Such is very much the case with “Story of Your Life,” on the surface another aliens-visit-earth scenario, but really so much more. The story is told by a linguist sent by the Army to communicate with the seemingly benign alien beings, and Chiang deftly weaves the protagonist’s somehow complementary relationship with her daughter within those in his interactions.

2010 novella, “The It becomes apparent Lifecycle of Software that the written and verbal Objects,” describing languages the aliens use different directions are profoundly different, and slowly our narrator toward artificial intelcomes to realize why. ligence. One, taking the Linguistics and physics more common tack, team up in the telling, as assumes things can be it turns out they must. added together and AI Here Fermat’s theories will eventually result. make an appearance, and, Chiang’s stories take a without giving too much more organic approach, away, bring in another of exploring how ideas Chiang’s fascinations, time and entities manifest, travel. Although nearly grow, interact and evolve. The scenarios are overwhelming, it’s not a

complete surprise once you know Chiang’s work.

The real surprise is how well he crafts the story.

In interviews and other short stories, Chiang has discussed writing as a tool, a technology that can entirely change how we think. Surprisingly, “Story of Your Life” reminded me of a very different writer, Barry Lopez, who examined more down-toearth examples of how we think in his book, “Arctic Dreams.” The Hopi, explains Lopez, don’t differentiate between time and space the way most of us do. He goes on to say, “All else being equal, a Hopi child would have little difficulty comprehending the theory of relativity in his own language, while an American child could more easily master history.”

Read some of Ted Chiang’s stories. If you think you don’t like science fiction, you just might find your mind changed.

Associated Press

Washington — It will take more than three clicks of the heels to preserve the ruby slippers that whisked Dorothy back to Kansas at the end of “The Wizard of Oz.” The slippers, which for more than 30 years have been one of the most beloved items at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, were crafted almost 80 years ago by the MGM Studios prop department. Like most movie

props, they weren’t built to last.

Now, the frayed shoes aren’t even ruby-colored anymore — they’re more like a dull auburn.

On Monday, the Smithsonian asked the public to help save the slippers, launching a Kickstarter campaign to raise $300,000. In addition to keeping the shoes’ color from deteriorating further, the money will go toward a technologically advanced display case that will preserve them for future generations.

“This particular pair of ruby

slippers really belongs to the American people, and so we thought as we sought support that we would invite the public to join us on this journey to help preserve them for the next generation,” said Melinda Machado, a museum spokeswoman.

The shoes are the most recognizable prop for the beloved 1939 musical, their deep red hue dazzling audiences when the movie made its dramatic transition from black-andwhite to Technicolor. They have been on near-constant display since

American flag by Archie Scott Gobber, which carries the confused expression “HUH,” configured from the stripes of the flag.

Although politically charged art may not be pressed upon us with the same tenacity as the rhetoric coming from the campaigns, we are not helpless observers when it comes to the experiences that occur when we view such pieces of work, Ahlvers says.

“When you are the viewer, you are bringing your experience and your own ideas to that experience,” he explains. “The artist has their intent. The viewer has their set of criteria or influences that will determine how they are going to engage with it …

Then there’s this totally unique experience that comes out of that for that particular person, but it has to happen with them observing the work.”

If a poll were taken today, the chances that Rockwell’s show and Platform will be the only two that proceed down a political path are unlikely.

around the bird to form its skeletal structure while little hints of Americana are placed within the torso.

“I was thinking more ‘Mericana,” Rockwell says with a laugh while talking about the piece relative to his show, which he describes as being “loosely themed” around the presidential race.

“Whether it’s the election or something completely different, I think artists are always trying to respond and be somewhat of a reflection of what is happening in the world,” he says.

Another piece, which is a collaboration between Rockwell and fellow Lawrence artist Wayne Propst, reimagines an old wooden ironing board as a “Missile Tombstone.” On its surface, political buzzwords are fashioned with extruding wires and dissected in a poem aimed at the nuclear age.

Around the corner and a half a block away at the Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., Ahlvers defines Platform as being “overtly political.” The show, which casts work from 10 artists, has the highly charged presidential race as its focus.

“Basically, I wanted to get a mix or a composite of artists with different perspectives who are talking about a variety of issues that are all currently being discussed by the various political parties,” Ahlvers says of the show’s intent.
