KU provost named Ole Miss chancellor

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Departing Kansas University Provost Jeff Vitter, left, will be replaced by interim provost Sara Rosen, right, after he completes this semester at KU.

Kansas University Provost Jeff Vitter will depart at semester’s end to become chancellor of the University of Mississippi, leaving KU searching for a second-incommand partway through its current strategic plan.

The Mississippi Board of Trustees of Institutions of Higher Learning “unani-

mously and enthusiastically” voted Thursday to hire Vitter for the job, board president Alan Perry said during a post-meeting press conference in Oxford, Miss., which was broadcast online.

Mississippi’s chancellor search committee sought a candidate with the characteristics and attributes to lead the school forward, chairwoman Alice Clark said.

Vitter, she said, “shared our passion and our vision for the transformative role of the University of Mississippi ... and has the leadership, knowledge and experience to lead us to even greater success.”

Vitter, a New Orleans native, has a resume packed with some of the country’s most elite universities but Please see PROVOST, page 2A

DEATHS

LAWRENCE • STATE ACLU faults Olathe’s handling of ‘God loves you’ sign

Olathe (ap) — The American Civil Liberties Journal-World obituary policy: Union says a Kansas City suburb violated the free For information about running obituaries, call 832speech rights of a man 7151. Obituaries run as submitted by funeral homes by telling him he would or the families of the deceased. be ticketed or fined if he continued carrying signs reading “Smile God ichaRd andolph Loves You” and “Junk It All But Jesus.”

The ACLU’s Kansas Services for Richard A. Randolph, 79, Lawrence are pending and will be announced by Warren-McElwain Mortuary. He passed away Wed., Oct. 28th at LMH.

affiliate notified Olathe Thursday that a city employee told Dustin Strouse he couldn’t stand with the signs on a public sidewalk at an Olathe intersection.

ACLU attorney Doug Bonney says people have the right to carry signs in public places. The ACLU asked the city to make it

clear that Strouse’s signcarrying doesn’t violate city codes.

Olathe spokeswoman Erin Vader says the city employee misinterpreted a business-related ordinance on using “human billboards.” She says the employee now knows the ordinance doesn’t apply to Strouse.

Currently, there is no funding for further construction on the project, so the earliest any work could be done on the west leg would be 2020, said KDOT Project Manager Ryan Barrett. But it’s important to have a plan of action ready before the east leg opens.

KDOT officials hope to have a finalized plan by early 2016.

While the plan outlines keeping access between Clinton Parkway and K-10 open, a new interchange would need to be constructed at that location to maximize safety for motorists, Barrett said. In addition, a new interchange and access road would be built off Wakarusa Drive.

The two interchanges off Sixth Street and Bob Bill-

ings Parkway would be left untouched in the project.

Due to safety concerns with high-speed traffic encountering lower-speed traffic, KDOT employees are also recommending closing off access to K-10 from the Farmers Turnpike or North 1800 Road, Barrett said. Access to K-10 from the Perry or Lecompton areas would then go through I-70 by way of a new interchange, which would be built near East 600 Road.

While KDOT’s plans for the interchanges are fairly solid, closing access between North 1800 Road and K-10 is not set in stone, Barrett said.

Lawrence residents Bruce and Jeanie Bundy said they live on Bobwhite Drive and were pleased to hear access to K-10 from Clinton Parkway will remain open. If that interchange closed, traffic on Bob Billings Parkway would grow even worse,

they said.

“And people already don’t drive the speed limit,” Jeanie Bundy said.

The couple said they had mixed feelings about closing K-10 access from North 1800 Road because they have grandchildren in the Perry and Lecompton area and the closure could make traveling that way a bit more complicated.

Because any potential work on that project wouldn’t begin until 2020, the couple said it might not affect them as much in the future.

“I kind of like that it would give us greater access going to Kansas City or Topeka,” Bruce Bundy said.

More information for the project can be found online at ksdot.org.

“While this is a loss for (Kansas University), I am delighted for Jeff, who has served this university with passion for the past five years and will undoubtedly do great work in his new

role,” she said.

Gray-Little also announced that Sara Rosen would be KU’s interim provost beginning Jan. 1. Rosen is senior vice provost for academic affairs and has a Ph.D. in linguistics.

“Sara has done great work for the university as senior vice provost, and her experience and expertise position us to continue the momentum we’ve established through our Bold Aspirations strategic plan,” Gray-Little said.

Gray-Little said KU would begin the search process for a new provost in the coming weeks.

has said he’d like to get back to the South.

He called the Mississippi chancellorship his permanent goal during a listening session with Ole Miss students earlier Thursday, also broadcast online.

“This is my dream job, where I want to be,” Vitter, 59, said.

The statement was in response to this question from a student: “Why are you leaving Kansas halfway through the middle of a plan that you helped co-author, that you’re very excited about? What kind of commitment are you willing to make to Ole Miss?”

Gap

Vitter said KU was starting year five of its strategic plan and preparing for the next iteration.

“I have an incredible team, and they will carry on,” he said. “There is great leadership there at the university.”

Vitter, KU’s provost and executive vice chancellor for five years, is also a professor in the department of electrical engineering and computer sciences.

Vitter has been “integral” to the university’s most important initiatives, KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little wrote in an email message to KU colleagues shortly after the announcement. She said Vitter oversaw design and implementation of KU’s 2012-2017 strategic plan, “Bold Aspirations”; directed imple-

— now that kids know that they’re there — is that there’s pretty high demand,” he said.

School board president Vanessa Sanburn said that at the elementary and middle school levels, another aspect to consider is how much work students are required to do at home. In addition, one of the school board’s yearly goals is to research the possibility of opening up more school libraries for evening hours.

A pilot program for extended library hours at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School library will begin next week, said Jerri Kemble, assistant superintendent of educational programs, in an email.

Based on the information gathered from that program, South Middle School may follow, Kemble said.

Expanding device checkout is also being considered. In addition to desktop computers and classroomspecific devices, the district has about 3,000 mobile devices in communal “media carts,” said Jennifer Stones, supervisor of the department of innovation and technology, in an email.

Though the district did not conduct a districtwide survey to determine how many students had reliable access to a computer and Internet at home before introducing digital content, feedback sessions were done with teachers and students, Nedved said.

“We are discovering what’s that balance of sustainable change to introduce digital content, because we know that integrating digital tools into the classroom increases student engagement and achievement,” she said.

For instance, a technology committee of district administrators and teachers has been meeting with groups of students for the past two years. Students are encouraged to share their experience with digital content and what would help them be more successful, Nedved said.

“You don’t want to leave groups of students behind who don’t interact well with technology or digital content, so how do you keep all of those needs in mind?” she asked.

District administrators also will continue to gather feedback from teachers and students. The technology committee is planning to meet with students in small-group sessions at all 20 schools throughout the school year and is looking at ways to make sure a cross-section of students is included, Nedved said.

“Since we have digital content K-12, we really want a broad spectrum of student input on that,” she said. “We want to hear directly from the student.”

Sanburn said as part of the school board goals, the board will receive a report on technology in the district. In the future, she said, her hope is that at the beginning of the year, it’s explicitly taken care of that all students have access to the medium they feel most comfortable with.

“I do think, going forward, if we do digital adoptions in the future, we’ll have a better system in place for determining need and filling that need,” she said.

Kansas University Homecoming Parade 6 p.m. today, downtown Lawrence Given that this year’s homecoming parade falls on Halloween weekend, the theme — “Ghosts of Jayhawks Past� — seems pretty appropriate.

Church Corner Hymn Fest 3 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday, First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St. The “Church Corner� of 10th Street — First United Methodist and Trinity Episcopal share the corner of 10th and Vermont streets, while Plymouth Congregational sits across the street and First Christian occupies the corner of 10th and Kentucky streets — is coming together for an afternoon of multi-denominational music.

Audience members are invited to sing along to a lineup of “much-loved hymns,� and later, join in on an anthem performed by the “Church Corner Choir� directed by Doug Lawrence. Organist Tandy Reussner and KU School of Music dean Robert Walzel will provide accompaniment.

A reception featuring autumnal desserts will follow. The event is free, but a free-will offering to benefit the Jubilee Cafe will be collected.

52nd Annual Blintz Brunch 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Sunday, Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation, 917 Highland Drive A beloved and longstanding Lawrence tradition continues this year at the Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation, where guests (for $10 a ticket) can enjoy a hot blintz breakfast or stock up on frozen blintzes at the bake sale.

Among the madefrom-scratch Jewish treats up for purchase this year: bagels and lox, kosher salami, kugel and matzo ball soup.

Once you’ve had your fill, peruse the gift shop for Israeli art and jewelry, pottery, books, clothing and seasonal items, or bid on merchandise from local vendors at the silent auction.

Topeka — Oil and gas industry restrictions meant to decrease the frequency and intensity of earthquakes in southcentral Kansas will remain in place until at least March 2016, state regulators decided Thursday.

The Kansas Corporation Commission issued an order extending limits on the injection of wastewater into the ground by oil and natural gas producers during fracking.

The limits, first imposed in March of this year, apply to five earthquakeprone areas in Harper and Sumner counties.

More than 200 earthquakes have been recorded in Kansas since the start of 2013 after only five in the previous 10 years.

The restrictions had been set to expire in September, but the commission’s staff recommended continuing them after a drop in the number and intensity of earthquakes in the spring and summer.

Olathe couple says move to Arkansas led to 2-state voting Olathe (ap) — An Olathe Air Force veteran and his wife who are facing voter fraud charges made a voting error while they were involved in a move to Arkansas, their lawyer said.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s office recently filed three voter fraud cases. Steven Gaedtke, 60, and his wife, Betty Gaedtke, 61, were charged in Johnson County with misdemeanors for

allegedly casting 2010 general election ballots in Kansas and Arkansas.

Kobach’s office also filed a case against Sherman County resident Lincoln L. Wilson for allegedly voting in both Kansas and Colorado.

The cases were the first to be filed under a new state law giving Kobach the power to prosecute election fraud allegations.

Topeka (ap) — Gay rights advocates are criticizing Gov. Sam Brownback for speaking at a Utah

By Sylas May conference sponsored by Read more responses and add an organization that has your thoughts at LJWorld.com been described as a hate group for its stance on same-sex marriage.

What are you going to Brownback participatbe for Halloween? ed in a panel Wednesday at the World Congress of Asked at the Families conference in Lawrence Public Library Salt Lake City, according to the event’s agenda.

The theme of the panel was “Reversing the Crisis of the American Family,” the Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

Ty Cobb, a leader with the Human Rights Campaign, a national gay rights organization, said in a statement that it was “astonishing” to him that Brownback “would allow Conner Marsh, himself to be mentioned sixth grade, Lawrence “A squid, because they’re kind of funny.”

“

Hate is not an American value, and Governor Brownback’s participation in this summit is shameful.”

— Ty Cobb, of the Human Rights Campaign

in the same sentence as the World Congress of Families — let alone be in the same room with them.”

The World Congress of Families supports what it calls the “natural family,” which the group says refers to the lifelong marriage of a man and woman.

In 2014, the Southern Poverty Law Center called WCF an anti-LGBT hate group, pointing to a letter the organization signed that expressed support

for a Russian law that criminalizes distributing material to children that supports nontraditional sexual relationships.

“Hate is not an American value, and Governor Brownback’s participation in this summit is shameful,” Cobb said.

Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said the governor, a Republican who opposes gay marriage, was invited to the event.

“The Governor was invited to discuss strategies

to lift individuals out of poverty including fostering family structure, superior education, and the dignity of work, as ways to put people on a path to a better life,” Hawley said in an emailed statement.

The SPLC, founded in 1971 in the wake of the civil rights movement to advocate on behalf of the disenfranchised, monitors a wide variety of organizations throughout the U.S. that it labels as “hate groups” for beliefs or practices that the SPLC says “attack or malign an entire class of people” regardless of whether the group advocates for or engages in violence or other criminal activity.

The WCF says on its website that it tries to engage opposing groups, such as the HRC and SPLC,

Topeka — The Kansas Supreme Court on Thursday laid out an expedited schedule to hear an appeal in a case some say threatens to de-fund the entire Kansas judicial system.

The court will hear oral arguments Dec. 10 in a lawsuit filed by Kingman County District Judge Larry Solomon, who is chief judge of the 31st Judicial District.

Chief Justice Lawton Nuss said in an order

released late Thursday the case is being put on an expedited schedule because the terms of all 31 chief judges expire Dec. 31.

Solomon is challenging a law passed in 2014 that strips the Supreme Court of its authority to name chief judges in the district courts. Instead, they are to be chosen by the other judges within their judicial districts.

Solomon argues the law violates a provision of the

The restrictions will be revisited early next year, the order said, but they could stay in effect longer.

Both the commission’s staff and the Kansas Geological Survey have said there needs to be more study to determine whether limiting wastewater injection in the area is reducing seismic activity. The order described the restriction’s results thus far as “encouraging but inconclusive.” “(The restrictions) will give us a better chance to observe the real impact,” said Ryan Hoffman, the director of the commission’s Oil & Gas Conservation Division. “That will give us a bigger picture.”

More than 200 earthquakes have been recorded in Kansas since the start of 2013 after only five in the previous 10 years. Environmentalists believe hydraulic fracturing, or fracking,

Voting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Trey Pettlon, a lawyer representing the Gaedtkes, told The Kansas City Star that the Gaedtkes applied for advance voting ballots in Johnson County for the 2010 general election and submitted them while they were traveling back and forth over several months from Olathe to a home in Arkansas. During that time, they voted in person in Arkansas.

“It was a stressful time for them, and in the con— Peter Hancock fusion they made a mis-

Kansas Constitution that gives the Supreme Court “general administrative authority over all courts in this state.”

Supporters of the law, however, argue that because chief judges have significant authority over court budgets, the hiring of court personnel, and the assignment of cases, the decision about who should be chief judge should be made at the local level.

in dialogue. The WCF said opposing groups seem to imply it hates the LGBT community but that “nothing could be further from the truth.”

“As thoughtful adults, individuals are free to make their own personal lifestyle choices. WCF advocates for that freedom, just as it does for the rights of individuals to worship how they choose and to participate in government and civil discourse — including the defense of the natural family,” the organization’s website says.

Gay and lesbian couples began getting married in Kansas in November 2014 after a court ruling, and the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in June secured the right nationwide. is to blame because after reaching previously inaccessible oil and gas deposits, drillers inject large volumes of wastewater into disposal wells.

The number and intensity of earthquakes in the area peaked this March, just as the KCC imposed its restrictions.

Since then, the number of earthquakes has declined, and none at or above magnitude 4.0 have happened since June. And, after no earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater in July and only a relative handful in August and September, the state has recorded 11 in October.

The KCC’s staff also notes that drilling activity has declined this year with lower oil prices; from Jan. 1 through Sept.

2 of this year, drilling declined to 1,168 wells, compared with 3,797 for the same period in 2014.

Hoffman said it’s too early to tell how long the KCC’s staff will recommend keeping the restrictions in place, or whether it will suggest applying them to other areas. take,” Pettlon said. “They weren’t stuffing ballot boxes or anything.”

He also said the 2010 election was not a presidential election year, so the Gaedtkes weren’t voting twice for the same candidates.

Steven Gaedtke, a Vietnam veteran who served in the U.S. Air Force, and Betty Gaedtke, who volunteers as a domestic violence educator, have “a long track record of being good citizens,” Pettlon said.

Kobach’s office declined to comment Thursday.

A court date for the Gaedtkes was set for Dec. 3.

Mother-in-law may need serious mental help Dear Annie: My husband and I have been happily married for 20 years. After the kids were grown, we decided to downsize. We put our home on the market and moved to a different state.

My husband’s mother did not want us to move.

She started interfering with the real estate office that was showing our house. She was given written warnings to stay away from the property.

She then stripped all our perennials and trellises and took the picnic table and hoses — anything she could get off the property. She left a huge mess, and I had to pay someone to clean it up.

She wouldn’t stop, so I finally called law enforcement. Now members of the family have labeled me “psycho” because I filed a complaint, but the local po-

What can I do to stop this woman without breeding more ill will? — Fed-Up Psycho Dear Fed Up: Your mother-in-law’s behavior is outrageous. Where is your husband in all this? He should quite firmly inform his mother that her punitive and destructive actions must stop immediately or she risks estrangement from

‘Exorcism: Live!’ visits St. Louis What a week for television!

On Monday, CBS launched “Supergirl,” while ABC debuted the period thriller “Wicked City” on Tuesday. I prefer to think of it as the week that began on Sunday with “Brain Surgery Live” on National Geographic and continues tonight with Destination America’s “Exorcism: Live!” (8 p.m.).

How on earth do you schedule an exorcism? Do long-entrenched demonic entities wait around for prime time? It’s not like they’re football players or entrepreneurs pitching products on “Shark Tank” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

While not quite on the level of Beelzebub, former Google executive Chris Sacca is a guest “Shark” tonight.

But back to “Exorcism: Live!” I have so many questions. Like, is an exclamation point really necessary? Of course, who am I to criticize the punctuation of those who dabble in satanic possession for mere entertainment?

This arcane Catholic ritual was considered a forgotten relic of the Middle Ages until “The Exorcist” arrived as a book and a movie way back when Nixon was president. That story involved the satanic possession of a young girl. But here in the 21st century, we’re so much more obsessed with things. We want our possessions possessed.

In the case of “Exorcism: Live!” we’re talking real estate. And the demon-filled dwelling is none other than the St. Louis home that was the scene of the 1949 case that inspired author William Peter Blatty to write “The Exorcist.” The place has been called the Exorcist House for years.

According to Destination America, nobody “has ever attempted to cleanse the house of the spirits and demons that remain there, until now.” Wow, that’s more than 60 years. It’s a possession nearly older than television itself!

Exorcist House will also be visited by “Ghost Adventures” (8 p.m., Travel, TV-14). Fans of the series may remember an earlier visit on the show’s 100th episode during season eight.

This is part of a daylong “Ghost Adventures” marathon running from 9 a.m. to 3 a.m. Saturday.

Starz is airing a Halloweenthemed marathon of the “Evil Dead” (7 p.m.) movies, including “Evil Dead II” (8:30 p.m.) and “Army of Darkness” (9:55 p.m.), all in anticipation of the debut of the new series “Ash vs. Evil Dead” on Saturday.

Tonight’s other highlights Paris-bound on “The Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG).

“Undateable” (7 p.m., NBC) airs live on both coasts. It’s no exorcism, but this “comedy” has scared away most viewers.

Nick mulls his destiny and paternity on the fifth season premiere of “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC).

his family. It is obvious that she is so frightened by your departure that she believes her only recourse is sabotage. You need to reassure her that living elsewhere will not keep you from calling, writing and visiting often. If she is incapable of adjusting, however, suggest she get professional help. It sounds like she could use it.

Dear Annie: I am a 15-year-old freshman.

My best friend, “Ella,” recently told me she is constantly depressed.

She said she’s tired of living behind a mask.

EDITORIALS

Community guardians Lawrence is a safer place because of the outstanding work of its firefighters and emergency medical personnel.

A

lot has happened in Lawrence in the last 100 years — some of it good, some of it bad. When bad things happened, local firefighters and emergency medical personnel usually have been on the scene, working to keep people safe and minimize damage to property.

As Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical marks the 100th anniversary of its founding as the Lawrence Fire Department, the community should pause to appreciate the important role these community guardians have played.

Lawrence has been blessed with a welltrained, dedicated fire department led by committed and forward-looking chiefs.

Many times, over the years, local residents who have interacted with firefighters — and later, EMS personnel — have lauded the department for its conduct and professionalism. They tell stories of how firefighters not only saved lives but also went the extra mile to protect property. When the city fire department merged a number of years ago with the county ambulance service, personnel took up the challenge of completing additional training to serve dual roles. Firefighters became EMTs, and EMTs became firefighters.

In a message on the department’s website, current Chief Mark Bradford points out that modern firefighters are called upon to serve many roles, not just to fight fires. They now spend as much or more time responding to medical emergencies as any other type of call.

They train in many areas so they will be ready to respond to natural disasters, conduct specialized rescues and even handle situations related to weapons of mass destruction. They also promote safety in the community in many ways.

The department’s 2014 annual report includes a long list of programs geared toward public education and safety.

A recent Journal-World story took a look back at how much the Lawrence firefighting operation has changed over the last century. It has grown from 10 paid firefighters to 140 and from one station to five. Instead of horse-drawn carriages, the department uses $1 million fire trucks. New equipment has made life safer for professional firefighters, and they, in turn, have made life safer for us.

GOP field mirrors House divisions Pundits are notoriously bad at forecasting the future, but perhaps we should have seen this coming.

For the split between outsider and establishment Republican candidates actually resembles an exaggerated version of the division in the party’s 2012 race.

And it mirrors the split within the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, most recently over this week’s budget deal. While the GOP was tapping Rep. Paul Ryan as the new speaker, the Wisconsin Republican felt it necessary to curry favor with the hard-core conservative faction by denouncing the way his predecessor forged a pact designed in part to ease his future.

In both cases, the divisions reflect the fact that most Republicans, unlike most Democrats, prefer officials who stand up for their principles, rather than seeking compromises, and feel party leaders have facilitated President Barack Obama’s policies rather than reverse them.

In fact, as House GOP leaders conceded in announcing the budget deal, Republican congressional majorities are insufficient to reverse a Democratic president, requiring compromises the broader public prefers. GOP success next year might depend on the extent it persuades voters it can bridge those divisions.

Outgoing Speaker John Boehner’s role in facilitating the budget deal helps make that case, removing the immi-

But Ryan might already have undercut his future leverage when lawmakers consider details of the spending plan and pending highway, conservation and tax measures. While seeking support from the conservative Freedom Caucus, members said he agreed to abide by the Hastert Rule.

The rule, attributed to former Speaker Dennis Hastert, means the full House

will consider only measures supported by a majority of Republicans. But the budget debate shows again that a coalition from both parties is the only way the House can pass legislation acceptable to the Senate and Obama.

Ryan’s dilemma was underscored earlier when, despite his impeccable conservative pedigree and voting record, he faced some conservative criticism for helping Democrats pass past fiscal compromises and favoring comprehensive immigration legislation. That presumably explains why, though he brokered a similar budget deal two years ago, he felt compelled to denounce the behind-the-scenes process this time — though he backed the end result.

Still, the deal helps Ryan by removing the most contentious pending issue on his plate — “cleaning the barn,” as Boehner put it. But it will take next year’s primaries and caucuses to resolve the increasingly acrimonious split in the presidential race.

Significantly, the balance of GOP power in them seems different from four years ago when the main establishment candidate, Mitt Romney, always seemed likely to outlast conservative challengers.

Not only have most 2016 outsider candidates never held office, but Donald Trump, Dr. Ben Carson and Sen. Ted Cruz are showing greater staying power than businessman Herman Cain, former Pennsylvania Sen.

Rick Santorum, Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich did in 2012.

GOP leaders even say they see a path for Trump to win the nomination, something never really possible in 2012 for Cain, Bachmann, Gingrich and Santorum.

While both the bumptious billionaire developer and Dr. Carson have struck a chord with Republicans fed up with Washington, their establishment rivals — especially former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio — are showing increasing frustration over their campaign weakness.

Bush, as the son and brother of past GOP presidents, hoped to play Romney’s role this time. But the former Florida governor has been a poor candidate, gaffe-prone, lacking energy and unable to escape the legacy of his brother’s ill-fated decision to invade Iraq. Other establishment hopefuls, such as Rubio, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, have not stepped up enough yet to take his place.

The GOP presidential field needs a Ryan, someone acceptable to its outsiders who can convince voters he can get things done. Barring that, it needs a nominee who can persuade voters the inexperience Republicans repeatedly assailed in Obama won’t be a handicap for them in wielding executive power.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 30, 1915: “Isaac years Babb, 50 years ago old and a bacheIN 1915 lor, was yesterday afternoon caught by a cave-in half a mile east of Lone Star, and was smothered beneath six feet of earth. A companion, Frank Lutz, nearly met with the same untimely end. He was caught by the feet and the lower legs, but scrambled away without injury.... Five men were repairing the township bridge across Washington Creek at the point mentioned, and at the time of the accident were making ready to replace an old abutment that had been dug out in readiness for the new part. Without thought of danger, Babb had followed the overhang while at his work until he was practically beneath it. ... Suddenly there came a rattle of dirt from near the top of the overhang. Babb caught the warning instantly, and made one abortive effort to get from under. It accomplished nothing as the mass of dirt, six scription for the city manager requests for additional securi- feet of it, was on top of him behe could make a second seeks someone with “ experi- ty in an extremely dangerous fore move....

Also during the event, Lawrence Chamber CEO Larry McElwain and Luke Bell, a lobbyist for the Kansas Association of Realtors, spoke to Lawrence’s lack of affordable housing.

Bell said he has been in discussions with the city and county about options to incentivize affordable housing.

McElwain emphasized the importance of affordable housing in attracting a workforce to the city.

“For the first time in my memory, we have more people concerned about this than ever before,” he said.

USA TODAY INVESTIGATION

TURKISH SECT FUNDED CONGRESS TRAVEL Group has been accused of coup attempt

Paul Singer and Paulina Firozi USA TODAY

A Turkish religious movement has secretly funded more than 200 trips to Turkey for members of Congress and staff since 2008, apparently repeatedly violating House rules WASHINGTON

and possibly federal law, a USA TODAY investigation has found.

The group — a worldwide moderate Islamic movement led by a religious scholar named Fethullah Gülen — has been accused by the Turkish government of attempting a coup in that country.

Turkish leaders have asked the United States to extradite Gülen from the remote compound in rural Pennsylvania where he has lived for 20 years.

The movement has founded hundreds of charter schools across the United States and

around the world, has its own media organizations and was deeply entrenched with the Turkish regime until a falling out two years ago. That led Recep Tayyip Erdogan to declare Gülen was running “a parallel state” inside the country with the intent of undermining the government. Turkey is having an election this weekend.

A dozen different Gülen groups have sponsored congressional travel since 2008 and have filed forms with the House certifying that they were paying for the

trips. The House Ethics Committee approved all the trips in advance based on the forms the Gülen groups submitted.

But a USA TODAY investigation found many of those disclosures were apparently false. Some of the Gülenist groups claimed to be certified non-profits, but they do not appear in state or IRS databases of approved charities.

Groups that did register with the IRS filed tax forms indicating that they did not pay for congressional v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

China baby policy too little, too late Change won’t spark a population boom Greg Toppo USATODAY

China’s surprise decision Thursday to scrap its “one-child” policy after 35 years might seem likely to open the floodgates of a demographic deluge, but researchers who track population say it won’t make a huge difference over the next few decades — to China or the wider world.

“The population in China is going to continue to age,” said Kristin Bietsch, a research associate at the Population Reference Bureau in Washington. “Even though they’re hoping to increase their fertility, they’re still going to have a substantial population aging — and this is going to happen even with the increase in fertility.”

“Not a lot is going to change,” she added. “A lot of trends are pretty much set in stone.”

Adrian Raftery, a professor of statistics and sociology at the University of Washington in Seattle, agreed: “The (United Nations)

has already been projecting a small and slow increase in China’s fertility rates over the coming decades, and this news makes this even more likely to happen,” he said. “The increase is not likely to be large, though.”

Other Asian countries such as Thailand had low fertility without a one-child policy, he said.

The state-run Xinhua News Agency said China’s ruling Communist Party decided that all couples would now be allowed to have two children. The announcement said removing the one-child restriction would “improve the balanced development of (China’s) population.”

The restrictions were introduced in 1980 to reduce the burden on resources amid the country’s rapidly expanding population. But three decades of economic growth and an aging population have led to a relaxation of the policy.

China, the world’s most-populous nation with 1.4 billion people, announced in 2013 that

couples could have two children if one of the parents was a single child. Currently, Chinese women have, on average, 1.8 children.

In Washington, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the policy change is a “positive step,” but “we also look forward to the day when birth limits are abandoned altogether.”

Like much of Europe, China’s population is aging rapidly — India’s population, now at 1.3 billion, is expected to surpass China’s within seven years, according to the United Nations.

The Chinese government credits the one-child policy with preventing 400 million births and helping lift countless families out of poverty by easing the strain on the country’s limited resources.

But many demographers argue the birthrate would have fallen anyway as China’s economy developed and education levels rose.

They foresee a looming crisis because the policy reduced the young labor pool that must support the older generation as it retires.

EU leaders ask member states to protect Snowden Call NSA leaker a ‘human rights defender’ John Bacon USA TODAY

The European Parliament passed a resolution Thursday urging European Union nations to protect former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden from extradition to the U.S., calling him an “international human rights defender.”

The resolution, barely gaining approval by a 285-281 vote, was a

symbolic nod to Snowden and snub at the Obama administration. The White House wants Snowden to return from de facto exile in Russia to face charges that include two counts of violating the Espionage Act and one count of theft of government property.

The resolution calls on EU member states to “drop any criminal charges against Edward Snowden, grant him protection and consequently prevent extradition or rendition by third parties, in recognition of his status as whistle-blower and international human rights defender.”

“This is not a blow against the US Government, but an open hand extended by friends.”

KENA BETANCUR, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

The U.S. wants Edward Snowden to return from Russia to face charges.

“Game-changer,” Snowden tweeted, adding, “This is not a blow against the US Government, but an open hand extended by friends. It is a chance to move forward.”

The White House was unmoved by the developments.

“Our position has not

changed,” said Ned Price, spokesperson for the National Security Council. “Mr. Snowden is accused of leaking classified information and faces felony charges here in the United States. As such, he should be returned to the U.S. as soon as possible, where he will be accorded full due process.”

Snowden, 32, is a North Carolina native who worked for the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton when he leaked details of U.S. surveillance programs to The Guardian and The Washington Post. The first reports were published in June 2013, setting off an immediate global firestorm.

Tally for free travel: More than $800,000 v CONTINUED FROM 1B

travel. Five of the groups admitted to congressional investigators earlier this year that a Gülenist group in Turkey was secretly covering the costs of travel inside Turkey for lawmakers and staff.

Congressional disclosures show the Gülen-backed trips totaled more than $800,000 in free travel for lawmakers and staff.

That number likely underestimates the costs since many of the in-country expenses were not reported. And it is not at all clear where the $800,000 came from, since many of the groups involved do not appear to have the resources to pay for large delegation trips.

One Gülen group, the Texasbased Turquoise Council of Americans and Eurasians, sponsored trips for three lawmakers and seven staff members in 2011, filing disclosures claiming it was the sole sponsor of the trips at a total cost of about $54,000. But the same organization filed an IRS tax form that year claiming it spent only $33,000 on travel with no expenditures for the travel of public officials.

The network of Gülen organizations is hard to untangle. The BBC reported in 2013 “the movement’s influence extends far beyond Turkey, funding hundreds of Islamic schools and think tanks and media outlets, from Kenya to Kazakhstan. It has attracted millions of followers and billions of dollars.”

In August 2013, Rep. Mike Honda, D-Calif., took an eightday trip to Turkey sponsored by the Pacifica Institute, which claimed on congressional disclosure forms to be an IRS-recognized non-profit covering the $5,700 cost of the trip. But the IRS has no record of Pacifica being a recognized non-profit.

“Congressman Honda quite simply took a trip that was entirely approved by the House,” spokeswoman Lauren Smith said.

In April 2011, the same group filed forms with the House Ethics Committee to sponsor two separate trips. In one form, for a trip by then-congressman Bob Filner, D-Calif., Pacifica Institute claimed to be a subsidiary of a group called Global Cultural Con-

CONGRESSIONAL TRAVEL TO TURKEY In 2011, the Turquoise Council of Americans and Eurasians sponsored $53,728 in travel for members of Congress and staff.

nections. In another group of forms filed for a trip by a handful of congressional staff, Pacifica declared itself to be a part of the West America Turkic Council.

Both of those groups are registered with the IRS as non-profits, but neither reported any expenses for lawmaker travel on their 2011 and 2013 tax returns.

A 2008 cable from the U.S. Embassy in Turkey released by Wikileaks describes Pacifica Institute as the “sister organization” of a Turkish-based group called the Bosphorus-Atlantic Association of Cultural Cooperation and Friendship, known by its

Turkish initials BAKIAD. The House Office of Congressional Ethics issued a report earlier this month finding that BAKIAD had secretly funded the Turkish leg of a trip to Azerbaijan taken by 10 members of Congress and 32 staff. Four of the Gülen groups sponsoring that trip “used BAKIAD to arrange and finance all in-country expenses for congressional travel in Turkey,” OCE found. “Importantly, however, BAKIAD’s role does not appear to have been disclosed to the Committee on Ethics in 2013 or in other years. BAKIAD was established in 2006 to oversee and co-

ordinate trips and events related to North America,” and it has sponsored thousands of U.S. travelers ranging from state, local and federal officials to priests, teachers and other community leaders.

“There is a substantial reason to believe that BAKIAD, because of its role as an undisclosed sponsor of congressional travel, provided gifts in the form of impermissible travel expenses to congressional travelers in violation of House rules and regulations,” the OCE report concluded.

In June 2012, a Gülen organization called the Istanbul Center sponsored a nine-day, four-city Turkish visit for Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., his wife, Martha, and four staff members for a total of about $23,000. The disclosure forms submitted to the Ethics Committee said the Istanbul Center is “a unit of the Global Spectrum Foundation.” The form explained that BAKIAD “funds trip and finds sponsors/donors for meals, lodging, domestic travel.” But there is no indication who those donors or sponsors were. Istanbul Center is not on file with the IRS as a recognized non-profit.

“The Committee on Ethics takes responsibility for trip approvals and we trust it will appropriately handle any issues they find with information reported to them by the trip sponsor,” Brooks spokeswoman Lauren Vandiver.

USA TODAY made repeated efforts to reach the Gülen organizations mentioned in this article, including dropping by the Washington headquarters shared by several of them.

Only the Istanbul Center responded. Academic Affairs Director Mustafa Sahin said, “I did not organize any trips with members of Congress and staff, and do not really know how financial aspects of such trips were handled.” Other staff from that time period are no longer with the organization, he said.

USA TODAY identified 214 congressional trips sponsored

by Gülen organizations that appear to be improperly disclosed. The trips generally have similar itineraries, with visits to the same historical sites, and visits primarily with Gülenist journalists, lawmakers and business associations.

And the movement has clearly benefited from making friends in Congress. In February 2015, Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., organized colleagues to send a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry seeking his help in defending Gülenist journalists who had been arrested by the Turkish government as part of the battle between Gülen and Erdogan.

Salmon had taken a Gülenfunded trip to Turkey in 2014; Honda, Brooks and five other lawmakers who had taken Gülenfunded trips also signed the letter, as did 23 members who had approved Gülen-backed trips for their staff.

“Our trip was both fully disclosed and fully vetted by the House Committee on Ethics before the Congressman took it,” Salmon spokesman Tristan Daedalus said.

Nobody in Congress is likely to face penalties for accepting improper travel. The Ethics Committee concluded in July after reviewing the 2013 Azerbaijan trip that “all of the Members and staff who went on the trips did so only after getting Committee approval to accept the trips. Neither the Committee nor OCE found any evidence of any knowing violation by any Member or House staffer.”

However, “both the Committee and OCE found evidence suggesting that a number of parties outside the House may have affirmatively lied to and/or withheld information from both the Committee and the House Members and staff who were invited.”

The committee therefore announced it was “referring the matter of third parties apparently engaging in a criminal conspiracy to lie to Congress to the Department of Justice for such further action as it deems appropriate.”

“It strains credulity to believe members of Congress and their staff would accept lavish junkets having no idea who actually sponsored the trips,” said Anne Weismann, executive director of Campaign for Accountability, an ethics watchdog group. “Even worse, the Ethics Committee is allowing members to hide behind its so-called approval process so they can take exotic vacations paid for by special interests.”

(PKK).

Now, Turkey is effectively waging a two-front war against the PKK and the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, in neighboring Syria and Iraq. Both groups are designated terrorist organizations by Turkey and most Western countries but also are sworn enemies.

The terrorism fight has emerged as the focus of the AKP campaign, led by Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.

“We will continue to fight until weapons are buried, terrorism stops, and all our mountains, plains and valleys are cleared off,” Davutoglu told supporters at a rally Sunday in Istanbul. “They thought they could create an atmosphere of chaos in the country after June 7 (elections), but we will never allow them.”

Erdogan portrays his party as a guarantor of stability. Speaking at a massive anti-terrorism rally in Istanbul last month, he called on supporters to vote for the party he helped found “so that peace

returns to Turkey.”

Opponents accuse Erdogan of using security concerns to rally nationalist votes. The president and others have tried paint the PKK as a close ally of the proKurdish People’s Democratic Party, (HDP), whose electoral victory in June helped deny Erdogan’s party its ruling majority.

Meanwhile, rising instability and slow growth have hobbled the economy, which flourished in the early years of Erdogan’s rule that began in 2003. Consumer confidence and the value of the lira have slumped to new lows.

Turkey’s “open-door policy” toward Syrians fleeing civil war also is starting to take an economic toll; Ankara claimed to have spent nearly $8 billion caring for more than 2 million refugees.

Opinion polls suggest that voter preferences remain largely unchanged by recent developments, and analysts predict Erdogan’s party will again fail to secure a majority of seats in parliament to govern alone.

Turkey heads to polls as violence grows Slow economy, terrorism fight face voters Lucy Kafanov

Special for USA TODAY

Millions of Turkish voters will head to the polls Sunday for the second time in five months for a snap election unfolding amid mounting violence, deepening polarization and a sputtering economy.

The previous parliamentary election in June dealt a heavy blow to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ambitions to further consolidate his grip on power. Voters denied Erdogan’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) a majority for the first time in 13 years, while giving the country’s long-repressed Kurdish minority its biggest voice yet in Turkish politics.

But that election yielded a par-

Since then, the NATO-member country and U.S. ally has been rattled by growing security threats and political turmoil.

A spate of attacks across Turkey has been blamed on Islamic State militants, including the Oct.

10 suicide bombings on a proKurdish rally in Ankara that killed 102 people. Meanwhile, conflict between the Kurds and the Turkish state has returned with a vengeance following the collapse of a two-year cease-fire with insurgents from the separatist Kurdistan Workers’ Party

Jeb Bush’s biggest foe post-debate: Skeptics Aides are trying to retool, move forward

David Jackson USA TODAY

BOULDER , COLO.

You know a campaign is in trouble when aides are asked whether their candidate might drop out soon.

That’s where Jeb Bush finds himself following a poorly reviewed performance in Wednesday’s debate.

“I think we’re in for the long haul and we’re in to win, but I appreciate the question,” Bush campaign manager Danny Diaz told reporters after the debate, responding to whether Bush would make it to Iowa’s caucuses Feb. 1.

Amid poor reviews of his campaign style and organization — before, during and after the debate — Bush and aides are retooling their team and trying to fight off competitors who are looking to poach some of their donors.

The son and brother of former

presidents finds himself trailing “outsider” candidates Donald Trump and Ben Carson, as well as protégé-turned-rival Marco Rubio.

A week after announcing campaign cutbacks that triggered more questions about his prospects, Bush campaign officials said they still have large getout-the-vote organizations in early primary states — including in New Hampshire, which is beginning to look like a make-orbreak state for the former Florida governor. Aides said they also have strong organizations remaining in South Carolina — which holds a Feb. 20 primary — and in Southern states that are part of the “SEC primary” on March 1.

Bush world is also relying on the efforts of a well-funded super PAC, Right to Rise USA, aides said. It will finance television ads and may form organizations in

Iowa and New Hampshire.

For now, Bush aides are playing up a Monday speech in Tampa in which Bush will discuss how the country can break out of what he calls “the pessimism and decline of the Obama years.” Bush also picked up an endorsement from former New Hampshire senator Judd Gregg on Thursday.

Looking toward the weeks and months ahead, Bush plans a steady march through the cam-

paign trail, emphasizing his conservative record during his two terms as governor of Florida.

“This campaign isn’t going to be won and lost by debates in October,” Bush communications director Tim Miller said.

“I haven’t spoken to anyone in the last week who is bolting,” said North Carolina attorney James Cain, who is hosting a fundraiser for Bush at his Raleigh home next week.

“They are really confused” by a race in which Trump and Carson, two candidates with no elective experience, have dominated polls, said Cain, who served as U.S. ambassador to Denmark for President George W. Bush. “Until that confusion settles, some of them are holding on to their money, including those who helped his father and his brother.”

RYAN TARGETS ‘BROKEN’ HOUSE

New speaker: Time to get ‘our act together’ Erin Kelly USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Newly elected Speaker Paul Ryan said Thursday that it’s time to fix a “broken” House and begin solving the nation’s problems instead of adding to them.

“The American people make this country work, and the House should work for them,” Ryan said in a speech on the House floor after his election.

“What a relief it would be to the American people if we finally got our act together.”

Ryan was elected the 54th speaker of the House as his colleagues looked to the Wisconsin Republican to help unite his fractious party.

He received 236 of the 432

The 45-year-old Ryan, who was the Republican nominee for vice president in 2012, is the youngest speaker to lead the House in 140 years.

Ryan vowed Thursday to give committee chairmen and rankand-file members more power over crafting the legislation that comes before the House. That has been a key demand of the rebellious Freedom Caucus, a group of about 40 conservatives who helped force Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, from office.

Ryan initially balked at running for speaker but was persuaded by his GOP colleagues to become a candidate after Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, RCalif., withdrew his candidacy because he did not believe he had the 218 votes needed to win.

‘Contraceptive mandate’ puts health care in court TIMOTHY A. CLARY, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Nuns from the Little Sisters of the Poor, preparing for Pope Francis’ visit, are at the center of a Supreme Court battle over the Obama administration’s “contraceptive mandate.” They are among groups seeking an exemption to an Obamacare provision.

Charities, schools seek to be exempt as ACA comes before Supreme Court for fourth time in five years

Richard Wolf USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court is about to climb back into Americans’ bedrooms.

Sixteen months after ruling narrowly that companies with religious objections cannot be forced to pay for employees’ contraceptives, the court faces a chorus of cries from religious charities, schools and hospitals seeking to get out of the birth control business altogether.

The justices are scheduled to review several petitions Friday asking them to overturn federal appeals court decisions that would force the non-profit groups to opt out of the “contraceptive mandate” included in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), rather than receiving the blanket exclusion granted churches and other solely religious institutions.

If they agree to hear one or more of the cases, it will be the fourth time in five years that President Obama’s health care law has come before the high court, putting the battle between religious freedom and reproductive rights front-and-center in the 2016 presidential race.

On one hand, the court has saved Obamacare from legal destruction twice, in 2012 and again this year. But it ruled last year that closely held corporations, such as arts-and-crafts chain Hobby Lobby whose executives object to contraception, could opt out of the mandate that lawmakers included among preventive services employers must insure at no cost to their workers.

The solution, the court said,

MICHAEL REYNOLDS, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

would be for those companies to inform the government or their insurance providers in writing that they would not pay for birth control, at which point the insurer would pay for it directly. But religious non-profits that had been granted such an accommodation without going to court say even writing a letter or filling out a form makes them complicit.

The petitions to a court generally protective of religious rights come from Catholic leaders in New York City, Washington and elsewhere, as well as religious schools, universities, hospitals and charities. Among them are the Little Sisters of the Poor, who received a visit from Pope Francis during his Washington trip.

Lawyers for the nuns argue in their petition that “the government has put them to the impossible choice of either violating the law or violating the faith upon which their lives and ministry are based.” It says the nuns believe that the opt-out method offered as a solution “would make them morally complicit in grave sin.”

None of the federal appeals courts to hear the complaints sid-

ed with the non-profits’ claim that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act shields them from complying with the law.

Perhaps tipping its hand, the Supreme Court in several cases blocked those rulings from taking effect until the appeals process plays out. Otherwise, non-profits could have been liable for fines of up to $100 per day for each uncovered worker.

Then in September, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled for CNS International Ministries and Heartland Christian College that what matters is what the objectors believe, not what the opt-out method provides.

That created a split among appeals courts that the Supreme Court is likely to resolve.

Whatever the Supreme Court decides, it’s not likely to end the dispute. A ruling for the nonprofits could prompt for-profit corporations to seek the same deal. And a District of Columbia district judge ruled in August that the anti-abortion group March for Life did not have to comply with the law on moral, rather than religious, grounds.

Opponents of the Obama administration’s ‘contraceptive mandate’ protest outside the Supreme Court in March 2014, when the justices considered a case brought by Hobby Lobby.

Lawyers for the nuns argue that “the government has put them to the impossible choice of either violating the law or violating (their) faith.”

PLANE ENGINE CATCHES FIRE ON FLORIDA TARMAC

At least 15 people were injured when an apparently leaking engine on a Dynamic Airways plane burst into flames on the tarmac as it was taxiing for takeoff Thursday at Fort Lauderdale– Hollywood International Airport, according to authorities.

The fire, which forced passengers to evacuate down an emergency chute, sent many fleeing over the tarmac through thick clouds of black smoke.

The blaze also forced the airport to cease operations for more than two hours, until one runaway was reopened at 3:15 p.m.

ANTARCTIC OZONE HOLE AT NEAR-RECORD SIZE

The Antarctic ozone hole widened to one of its largest sizes on record this month, the U.N.’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said Thursday.

The hole’s large size was due to unusually cold temperatures in the stratosphere, the level of the atmosphere where the ozone layer and ozone hole are located, the agency said.

On Oct. 2, the hole reached its largest size of the year, some 10.9 million square miles. The largest

A New York City EMT who tried to save the life of a 7-yearold girl who choked on her lunch said he has been suspended without pay for making an unauthorized stop, local media reported.

Qwasie Reid and a partner were transporting a nursing home patient last Wednesday, local news channel NY1 reported, when they were flagged down in Brooklyn by a man who told them that a student was choking.

Reid told the station he believed a choking girl took priority over the transport and administered aid to the girl, who he said had already turned blue. No one at the school was assisting the girl, he said. Reid told TV station WABC that he cleared out the girl’s mouth, put an oxygen mask on her, used a defibrillator and started CPR. “I don’t regret it,” he said.

Unfortunately, Reid’s efforts appear to have been in vain. The girl, Noelia Echavarria, has been declared brain dead and is on a ventilator, the New York Post reported.

Drug giants Pfizer and Allergan are weighing a massive merger in a deal that would deliver a sharp jolt to an industry accustomed to shakeups and could stir up political division over U.S. tax policy.

The potential combination would easily qualify as the largest merger or acquisition of the year in business, with both pharmaceutical companies combining for a market capitalization of nearly one-third of a trillion dollars.

But it could provoke political dissension if it’s structured as a corporate inversion — a tax maneuver in which a company strategically acquires a foreign entity

Walmart is putting more emphasis on online deals during the holiday season, with about 15% more rollbacks on Walmart.com compared with last year. Meanwhile, the number of rollbacks in stores will be about the same.

The retailer is also altering its deals strategy away from intermittent flash sales in favor of more deals that last throughout the season, emphasizing everyday low prices and its price-match policy.

“We will not be beat on pricing this holiday season,” said Steve

Bratspies, chief merchandise officer for Walmart U.S. on a call with reporters Thursday. “That is our commitment to our customers.

That’s the promise of our brand.”

Target stores will also make the holiday switch on Nov. 1, with updated decor and product for the season, but the company isn’t launching a specific sale, Target executives said Thursday.

version in which its original shareholders end up owning more than 60% of the new company.

Accordingly, Credit Suisse’s Vamil Divan said in a note to investors Allergan represents one of the only potential targets for an inversion because of Pfizer’s size.

Pfizer, which paid an effective tax rate of 25.6% in the second quarter, last year ditched an attempt to take over U.K. drug giant AstraZeneca in a deal that could have led to an inversion.

Divan said Pfizer could probably meet the Treasury Department’s inversion threshold with an acquisition involving mostly stock. As an alternative, though, Divan said it’s possible Allergan could complete a “creative deal” in which it acquires Pfizer, even though Pfizer’s market capitalization before the talks were revealed was $218 billion to Allergan’s $113 billion.

Pfizer CEO Ian Read has publicly blasted the U.S. tax code for putting American companies at a disadvantage.

“This fits nicely for a tax inversion deal,” S&P Capital IQ analyst Jeffrey Loo said in an interview.

“Clearly that’s a goal of theirs.”

Dublin-based Botox maker Allergan said in a statement that New York-based Pfizer approached it about a possible deal and they are engaging in “preliminary friendly discussions” about a combination. Pfizer distributed a similar statement.

“No agreement has been reached and there can be no certainty that these discussions will lead to a transaction, or as to the

terms on which a transaction, if any, might be agreed,” Allergan said. “The company will not comment on speculation regarding the terms of a potential transaction.”

There was no immediate indication of how much Pfizer might pay for Allergan. But Allergan investors welcomed the news, driving shares up 6% to $304.38 Thursday, and Pfizer shares fell almost 2% to $34.77. The Wall Street Journal first reported news of the talks Wednesday night.

One possibility is that Pfizer could split into two companies after completing the deal — one for “innovative products” and another for “established products,” Loo said. Job cuts and plant closures are a strong possibility if the two companies combine, he said.

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

Bulls on Main Street have regained their optimism after 35 weeks of being in a gloomy mood.

The latest weekly sentiment poll by the American Association of Individual Investors showed bullish sentiment at 40.4%. While that’s by no means a sign of irrational exuberance, it marks the first time bullishness topped 40% in about nine months.

“After a record run in length almost as long as a pregnancy, bullish sentiment exceeded 40% for the first time in 35 weeks!” Bespoke Investment Group told clients in a research note. “It took the best month for stocks in four years, but we can now finally say that investor sentiment is slightly above average.”

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

The stock market’s first correction in four years this past summer and a myriad of other market worries seemed to dim the optimism of individual investors for a long stretch. Late last year, when stocks were on the rise, bullish sentiment was near 60%.

This past week the percentage of individual investors that said they are “bearish” on stocks, or think share prices will fall, dropped for the fourth consecutive week to 20.6%, down from 24% in the previous week.

There’s a catch, though. Investor sentiment is a contrarian signal. So when the number of bulls are on the rise, it often is interpreted as a bearish market signal.

But not to worry. Bespoke stresses that the “contrarian aspects of investor sentiment are usually more reliable at extremes” rather than the current levels, which are “inline with historical averages.”

Starbucks bubbles over with goodness Q: How long can the coffee giant stay hot?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Starbucks is best known for its piping hot coffee. But investors know it as a great — if not richly valued — stock.

Shares of the coffee giant have been a stellar investment for long-term investors. The stock is up nearly 340% over the past five years, a strong showing relative to the 77% gain in the Standard & Poor’s 500 during the same period. The stock also yields 1%, which is an added kicker, although that is half of the yield of the market.

The company continues to deliver.

Starbucks late Thursday reported an adjusted quarterly profit of 43 cents a share, which matched expectations.

Revenue jumped 18% from the same year-ago period. Starbucks is not a cheap stock, though, as it trades for 35 times diluted earnings the past year. That’s well above the market’s multiple of roughly 20 times earnings.

Starbucks is growing more rapidly than the market, explaining why Wall Street analysts on average rate the stock a “buy.” Starbucks is expected to deliver average annual compound growth of 18%.

The company’s growth plans continue to keep investors interested, but analysts see shares worth $63.96 in 18 months, which is just 2% upside from Thursday’s close of $62.50.

Treasury warns of quarterly dumping by foreign brokers Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

A government research paper says foreign-owned broker-dealers are dumping an average of $170 billion in certain U.S. assets before the end of each quarter in order to appear safer.

The practice, driven by an effort to comply with overseas regulatory requirements, could hurt U.S. money market funds, as well as bond investors, according to the report by the Office of Financial Research (OFR), a unit of the Treasury Department.

NEW YORK

ROB KIM, GETTY IMAGES

Former Treasury secretary Larry Summers.

The report, written for OFR by Benjamin Munyan of Vanderbilt University, is based on confidential regulatory data from the OFR

and the Federal Reserve. The paper concludes that broker-dealers with foreign parent companies are collectively dumping certain short-term borrowings by an average of $170 billion at the end of each quarter to better meet capital requirements, which are measured at the end of each quarter.

The report calls this practice “window-dressing” and says no such practice was found by U.S. banks because U.S. banking regulators use a quarter-average measure of leverage ratios.

But the dumping — of an asset known as repurchase agreements, or repos — could affect

U.S. money market funds and Treasury investors, the paper warned.

Repo agreements are a form of borrowing — usually overnight — that are a major source of liquidity for money-markets funds and institutional investors.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and former Treasury secretary Larry Summers have both warned of a liquidity problem that some experts have said could be linked to declines in repo funding.

The OFR paper said the selling by foreign banks could affect prices for U.S. Treasuries and oth-

er government bonds, which are a major form of collateral in the repo market. The quarterly selling may also leave money market mutual funds with excess cash they cannot invest.

Despite being able to anticipate quarterly window dressing, money market fund managers were unable to find any investment for about $20 billion of cash each quarter-end before September 2013, the paper said.

The Federal Reserve’s reverse repurchase agreement program began at that time as a substitute investment for repo lenders during times of window dressing.

He didn’t give details about who Rihanna would be playing in the film, though he promised the role would be “big.”

THE PEANUTS MOVIE NOV. 6

The Force was rocked last spring when Harrison Ford’s Han Solo appeared with his sidekick Chewbacca in the teaser trailer for The Force Awakens.

“Chewie, we’re home,” said Solo, and it wasn’t just the Wookiee roaring approval. That was planet Earth talking.

The trailer’s palpable groundswell (235 million views across all platforms) signaled how vital it was to bring Solo, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) back to the franchise.

“We’ve found a new entry point into something that everybody loves,” says producer Kathleen Kennedy. “People can recognize there are new characters, but they are going to enjoy and experience what they knew and loved before.”

Director Steve Martino aims to bring back the screen magic as Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang try to charm a new generation — the same season that the cherished TV special A Charlie Brown Christmas celebrates 50 years.

Martino has stayed true to creator Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts vision while incorporating computer-generated animation and 3-D. “There is a cautious concern that we not mess up precious memories,” Martino says. “Your memories of Peanuts have been handled with care.”

ROCKY

JAMES BOND

Nearly 40 years after 1976’s Rocky shot Sylvester Stallone to superstardom, famed screen pugilist Rocky Balboa returns.

Now he’s training Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan), the son of former rival Apollo Creed.

While the Rocky franchise was technically knocked out after the sixth film (2006’s Rocky Balboa), the new vehicle could punch again.

“Creed taps into the love for those stories and characters,” says director Ryan Coogler. “But it’s through a modern lens and a new character.”

There’s plenty to be stirred by in Daniel Craig’s fourth outing as 007 in the 24th James Bond film: the return of Sam Mendes, who directed 2012’s Skyfall (which made more than $1 billion worldwide); Christoph Waltz as a shadowy villain; and French actress Léa Seydoux as a sultry Bond girl.

As if the formidable spy franchise hadn’t built enough excitement (it’s already breaking box office records in the United Kingdom), Craig has signaled it could be his last time as Bond.

“This movie builds to a moment where (Bond) walks away, and that’s not accidental,” says Mendes, who shrugs off the marketing influence of Craig’s potential departure. “People want to see the next stage in the journey, no matter what that is.”

Mortgage rates holding steady at record low levels The AssociATed Press

Hometown Lawrence

WASHINGTON — Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates were slightly lower to unchanged this week amid expectations that the Federal Reserve isn’t ready yet to raise its key short-term interest rate.

Mortgage giant Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage slipped to 3.76 percent from 3.79 percent a week earlier. The rate on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages stayed at 2.98 percent.

It was the 14th straight week of rates below 4 percent, and they are well below last year’s levels.

A year ago, the average 30-year mortgage rate was 3.98 percent, while the rate for 15-year loans was 3.13 percent.

The Fed announced Wednesday that it’s keeping the key rate at a

record low near zero in light of a weak global economy, slower U.S. hiring and subpar inflation. But it signaled the possibility of a rate hike in December.

It was the first time in seven years of record-low rates that the Fed has explicitly raised the possibility that it could raise the benchmark rate at its next meeting.

Data issued Thursday showed that September marked a slowdown in Americans signing contracts to buy homes, the second consecutive decline for a real estate market that has been rebounding for the first half of 2015.

The National Association of Realtors said its seasonally adjusted index of pending home sales dropped 2.3 percent to

106.8 last month. The index has risen 3 percent over the past 12 months, aided by solid hiring levels and low mortgage rates that fueled stronger demand during the traditional summer buying season.

Sales of new homes plunged sharply in September to the slowest pace in 10 months, as higher prices and slower economic growth weigh on the housing market, according to government data out Monday.

To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country at the beginning of each week. The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.

The average fee for a 30-year mortgage held steady from last week at 0.6 point. The fee for a 15-year loan rose to 0.6 point from 0.5 point.

WORLD SERIES

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

G.A. recalls young Mets The Brooklyn Cyclones of the fabled, short-season, Class A NY-Penn League, had no shortage of talent in 2010.

Matt Harvey, the seventh pick of the first round of the June 2010 draft, a righthander out of the University of North Carolina, headed the marquee. Juan Lagares ran down flyballs for Harvey, Wilmer Flores groundballs, then and now.

The Cyclones also had J.B. Brown, a .308-hitting second baseman drafted in the 14th round that year.

Harvey started Game 1 of the World Series for the New York Mets and had Flores backing him at shortstop, Lagares in center field.

Brown? He works under special-teams coach Gary Hyman for the Kansas University football program as a graduate assistant.

Sitting in a classroom at the KU football complex Brown recently, Brown looked back on the play that proved the beginning of the end of his two-year professional baseball career.

“It was in Brooklyn (in 2011), when I got moved back down,” Brown remembered.

“It was a rainy day. I hit a groundball and was running it out to first, slipped on the bag wrong and tore my hamstring. Got called back up to (Port) St. Lucie (Florida). We played a doubleheader that day. I got off the plane, went for a ball up the middle and did the exact same thing.”

In other words, he rushed back before his body had healed fully.

“I came back a little too early, but, shoot, like every other player, you’d rather be on the field than on the bench,” Brown said. “No regrets on that. I had a great time. I loved it. We had a lot of fun. We played a lot of ball. It was a grind, definitely. We were so tired a lot of the time we didn’t even go out, and we’d just play video games.”

Brown smiled when he thought about a younger Lagares.

“He would always try to wear my sunglasses out,” Brown said. “He loved my sunglasses. I had these gold Oakleys that he’d always take pictures with. It was a good time. We had a lot of fun.”

Brown said he had wanted to play college football, but that his father, a Texas high school football coach, convinced him he was better suited for baseball.

After playing baseball at University of the Pacific in California and then professionally, Brown returned to his true love of football, helping his father, James Brown, at Mansfield Timberview High in the Dallas Metroplex.

Heat is on

Self: Kansas ‘stale’ so far

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

MEMBERS OF THE GROUNDS CREW WORK ON CITI FIELD on Thursday, the eve of Game Three of the World Series between the Mets and Royals.

Mets counting on rookie New York (ap) — The manchild on the mound was simply getting some work in, two simulated innings to sharpen up for the World Series.

It was late afternoon at Kauffman Stadium, dimmed by dark clouds on this overcast day in Kansas City, and even his New York Mets teammates wanted no part of 6-foot-6 Noah Syndergaard.

David Wright bounded into the batting GAME 3 cage, watched a few fastballs Who: Royals whizz by like vs. Mets pellets fired from a BB gun, When: 7 p.m. and stepped today right back out. Where: Citi “How are Field, New you supposed York to hit that?” he TV: FOX asked buddy (WOW! Michael Cud- channels 4, dyer.

204) A chuckling group of Mets marveled at Syndergaard’s sizzling cheese the day before the Series opener — but now they’ve placed the heat squarely on their rookie starter. With the National League champs trailing 2-0 in the best-of-seven set, the 23-year-old thunderbolt aptly nicknamed Thor pitches tonight against Royals righthander Yordano Ventura.

And the Mets know perfectly well they can’t afford to lose.

AP Photos

METS FLAME-THROWER NOAH SYNDERGAARD, LEFT, WILL OPPOSE Kansas CIty’s Yordano Ventura in tonight’s Game Three.

“I feel like being able to watch the past two games has really helped me out and helped me devise a game plan,” Syndergaard said.

Both teams canceled workouts Thursday at Citi Field, all dressed up to host its first World Series with a game featuring two of the best arms in baseball.

Syndergaard’s fastball averaged 97.1 mph during the regular season, the highest velocity of any major leaguer who pitched at least 150 innings, according to STATS. The 24-year-old Ventura ranked third at 96.3 mph.

In the NL playoffs, Syndergaard threw 22 pitches at least 100 mph and topped out at 101, STATS said.

Ventura can touch the century mark, too.

“Right now I’m not worried about velocity at all. I just want to go deep in the game,” Ventura said, with teammate Christian Colon translating.

But while Syndergaard certainly brings it, so do Mets aces Matt Harvey and Jacob

deGrom. And despite their 95-98 mph heat, neither one was able to throttle a Royals lineup that’s mastered the lost art of consistently making solid contact.

“This team likes the fastball,” said ALCS MVP Alcides Escobar, the first batter Syndergaard will face.

Kansas City’s aggressive leadoff man is batting .364 with 12 runs, eight RBIs and seven extra-base hits this postseason.

“It’s something else being able to watch Escobar walk up there and swing at the first pitch almost every single game,” Syndergaard said. “I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I’ll be able to break out tomorrow night.

I’m looking forward to it.”

Scolded by Wright in spring training for eating lunch in the clubhouse during an intrasquad game, Syndergaard acknowledged a rookie mistake and agreed he should have been on the bench looking to learn something.

Please see SERIES, page 3C

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self walked through the northwest tunnel of Allen Fieldhouse toward the locker room with a frown on his face following Thursday’s 21⁄2-hour practice.

“We’re stale. We’ve been stale. We haven’t practiced very well the last week or so,” Self said. “We’re very careless. It’s hard to play when you turn the ball over every possession, it seems like. I don’t think anybody’s leaving out of practice thinking we’ve gotten better the last week. I don’t think that’s the case at all.”

Not every day the past week has been as sub-par as Thursday.

“We’ve had good days, but we’re too inconsistent,” said Self, whose squad has been practicing since Oct. 2. “We’ll have good days, then we’ll have days where we turn that ball over left and right. The biggest thing that’s disappointing to me is our decision-making.”

His Jayhawks will meet Pittsburg State at 7 p.m.

Wednesday in Allen in the first of two preseason games.

“We haven’t got that much in,” Self said of specific plays. “We’ve got in zone.

We’ve got in a press. We got in some out-of-bounds plays. We got in enough, I think, to play in an exhibition, but we don’t have that much in.”

Of the team’s health, he said: “Actually good. We’ve got a few guys that are nicked up, but not nicked up enough to miss practice.”

Self’s spirits did brighten a bit Thursday when asked about the Kansas City Royals. Yes, he attended the first two games of the World Series — a 5-4, 14-inning KC win over the New York Mets on Tuesday, followed by a 7-1 Royals victory Wednesday.

“It’s great what they are doing,” Self said. “It’s a great example for everybody, (that) it’s never over ’til it’s over. Guys just keep battling. Some player on the team usually picks up everybody else.

“It’s great for, obviously, Kansas City and the surrounding communities to have the focus of America be on those guys,” he added of the Royals. l

Slow start spells end for FSHS soccer

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High’s boys soccer team started flat against Wichita North in the regional championship on Thursday. Once the Firebirds fell behind, it was just too difficult to catch up.

The Firebirds suffered a season-ending 3-2 loss at FSHS. Some Free State players dropped to the field after the final whistle, knowing how close they were to keeping their season alive, while Wichita North players celebrated on the oppoPlease see KEEGAN, page 5C site side of the field.

Free State finished with an 11-6-1 record, the most wins in a season since 2009.

“They were just really fast, and they were just really fired up,” FSHS senior midfielder Ernesto Hodison said. “We got a little intimidated, especially at the beginning. Whenever you’re scored on, that kind of degrades your morale.”

The Firebirds trailed, 2-0, before freshman Rowan Laufer was tripped in the 18-yard box, drawing a penalty kick with 15 minutes remaining. Sophomore Charlie Newsome took the kick and drilled it past the

keeper to the right, giving his teammates confidence they could tie the score.

But Wichita North (12-6) answered when senior midfielder Sami Sabrah scored a goal, dribbling past defenders into the box, for a 3-1 lead with just eight minutes remaining.

Wichita North didn’t do anything on offense that Free State’s back line — Laufer, Newsome, Jordan Patrick and Francisco Flores John Young/Journal-World Photo — hasn’t seen from other teams this season. North FREE STATE HIGH SENIOR ERNESTO HODISON (14) just had athletes who were WALKS OFF THE FIELD as Wichita North players celebrate following North’s 3-2 victory over the Please see SOCCER, page 3C Firebirds on Thursday at FSHS.

Brady threw for 356 yards and four touchdowns — two to Julian Edelman — and the Patriots beat the Miami Dolphins 36-7 on Thursday night to become the first of the NFL’s five unbeaten teams to reach seven wins.

Stephen Gostkowski broke Adam Vinatieri’s franchise record for consecutive field goals by connecting from 52 and 36 yards to make it 26 in a row.

Rob Gronkowski had 113 yards receiving and a touchdown, and Dion Lewis had 93 yards receiving and one score.

The loss was the first for Miami (3-4) under interim coach Dan Campbell.

The Dolphins scored 82 points in wins over the lowly Titans and Texans in Campbell’s first two games after replacing Joe Philbin.

Big 12 No. 5 TCU 40, West Virginia 10 Fort Worth, Texas — Trevone Boykin leaped over defenders and threw from the hip for touchdowns, breaking TCU’s career record for total offense while leading the fifth-ranked Horned Frogs past West Virginia on Thursday night for their 16th consecutive victory.

Boykin was 32-of-47 for 388 yards and three touchdowns and ran 11 times for 83 yards, with a two-yard keeper for a score when he hurdled a defender at the goal line and several nifty scrambles that left the Mountaineers tackling at air.

When Boykin avoided a sack late in the third quarter, making a move that had linebacker Jared Barber flailing to the ground, he gained 11 yards before running out of bounds on the West Virginia sideline and slapping hands with coach Dana Holgorsen.

The Mountaineers coach could only smile and was shaking his head when he appeared

Raiders want to stay put Oakland, Calif. (ap) — Raiders owner Mark Davis made a surprise appearance at an NFLsponsored town hall meeting Thursday night and said he is still committed to keeping his team in Oakland.

Nearly 400 people filed into the downtown Paramount Theater for the scheduled threehour event designed to give fans a chance to voice their opinions about the Raiders’ potential move to Los Angeles.

Mayor Libby Schaaf and Eric Grubman, the NFL’s point man on Los Angeles, also attended the meeting.

Davis received a standing ovation when he was introduced to the crowd. The owner initially said he wouldn’t take questions, but grabbed the microphone early to address questions about his desire to keep the team in Oakland.

Specifically, fans questioned Davis’ desire to remain in Northern California while at the same time working on a deal to build stadium in Carson.

Frogs jump Mountaineers, 40-10 to say, “I’ve never seen ...” before the television shot cut away.

In their last game before the first weekly College Football Playoff rankings of the season, TCU (8-0, 5-0 Big 12) made quite an impression. As did Boykin and Josh Doctson (11 catches for 183 yards and two touchdowns) on Heisman Trophy voters tuning into a midweek game.

All the losses for the Mountaineers (3-4, 0-4) have been in consecutive games against the Big 12’s four ranked teams.

They previously lost to No. 14 Oklahoma, No. 12 Oklahoma State and No. 2 Baylor — all teams TCU has to play in November.

TCU and West Virginia entered the Big 12 together in 2012, and their previous three meetings had been decided by a combined five points. There were two overtime games before Jaden Oberkrom kicked a 37-yard field goal on the final play of regulation last year for a TCU victory.

Boykin has 12,041 total yards, breaking the previous record 11,925 held by Andy Dalton, who led TCU to an undefeated

FSHS expects test from THS

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

When Free State High football players discuss Topeka High’s offense, they all mention it’s going to be a “challenge� to stop it.

Free State’s defense has matched up against a few top offenses this year, but the Firebirds will face their biggest test yet at 7 tonight at FSHS. The Trojans (8-0, 2-0 in districts, ranked No. 5 by Kpreps.com) have scored at least 30 points in each game, with an offensive line that averages more than 280 pounds, led by 6-foot-6, 305-pound offensive tackle Teven Jenkins, an Oklahoma State commit. “They probably have more speed than any team we faced this year, and they have more size,�

FSHS coach Bob Lisher said. “That’s saying a lot, because we’ve been against some speed and some size. They’re scoring at will.�

The Firebirds (5-3, 2-0) have plenty at stake in their final district game, despite clinching a spot in the state playoffs with victories in their first two district games. With a win, the Firebirds would win a district title and earn a home game in the first round of the playoffs. A loss would put Free State on the road for the first round. “Looking forward to it a lot, actually,� senior lineman Jalen Galloway said. “They’re always supposed to be a very good team, and we’re expecting that. We love the challenge.�

For the second straight week, the Firebirds will face a dual-threat quarterback. Corey Thomas has rushed for 889 yards and tossed for 882. The Trojans also have Mike McCoy, who is averaging more than 11 yards per carry, and Saylor Caraway in the backfield. “This guy is a little bit faster,� Lisher said of Thomas. “He’s got a few more weapons around him. It’s a little tougher to defend him per se because of that. Our guys are just

going to have to step up and be in the right spot at the right time to make plays. That’s sometimes difficult. We might have five guys there, and those guys are fast enough to make some people miss, which they’ve shown on film.�

Last year, the Firebirds won against Topeka in a shootout, 53-37. The Firebirds hope their defense can put together a better performance, and the offense can help with long drives down the field to take time off of the clock. “It’s going to show what we’re really made of on the defensive side,�

FSHS junior linebacker Jay Dineen said. “They’re going to be one of the best offenses in the west and probably one of the best offenses in Kansas.

Going against this is great for our defense to see how we stack up.�

The Firebirds are looking for their fourth straight district championship and the perfect way to cap off their Senior Night. “It’d be really nice because we started off the season not how we would have wanted to,� senior Logan McKinney said. “It’s important to us.�

difficult to slow down in one-on-one situations and had plenty of speed. “We’ve seen that kind of speed, and we have fast players,� FSHS coach Kelly Barah said. “When you give up some goals and you’re chasing the game, and you change your tactics a lot, then that speed really comes in to kill you even more.�

Laufer, who moved to forward in the second half to create offense, scored Free State’s final goal with 15 seconds left.

The Firebirds were playing without senior midfielder Will Laufer, their leading scorer, after he broke his jaw at the end of the regular season. They were also without senior forward Eduardo Carballido Flores, who sat out the final two games of the season.

Barah said watching Laufer on the sidelines was “one of the toughest things� he ever has had to do as a coach.

In the first half, the Firebirds struggled to create many offensive opportunities for forwards Branden Patterson, Israel Lumpkins, Alejandro Carballido Flores, Heitor Nazareth, Cooper Moreano and Nicholas Howard.

Meanwhile, Wichita North was relentless on offense with its speed and athleticism.

In the 33rd minute, Wichita North junior Jose Juarez sent a strong shot at Free State goalkeeper Jonathan Lesslie, who knocked the ball down, but Sabrah was in the right spot to score on the rebound.

Seven minutes into the second half, Sabrah sent a picture-perfect cross into the box to forward Cesar Verdin, who knocked in a header for a 2-0 lead. “It was a lot more mentally hard than it was physically because we knew it all came down to this, and it just seemed like everything was against us,� Newsome said. “We definitely fought back and had some unluckiness happen to us.�

The Firebirds were disappointed with the way their season ended but were proud of what they accomplished. “It kind of hit me hard realizing this is the last game,�

Lumpkins said. “It was fantastic to play with all my teammates. I just wish we could play more games.�

Lions seek balance ————

LHS players find time for team, recruiting

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High senior defensive end Amani Bledsoe only had time for about one hour of sleep after last week’s victory against Olathe North, the result of an exciting win and trying to get the most out of his college recruitment.

Bledsoe traveled to the University of Oklahoma last weekend for an official visit, leaving Lawrence at 3:30 a.m. with his mother and brother, and picking up his grandfather in Wichita, to watch the Sooners.

For Bledsoe, it’s simply just a part of finding time to focus on both his collegiate recruitment and the season, as the Lions look to win a district title when they play Olathe East at 7 p.m. today at the College Boulevard Activity Center. “It’s kind of a balance,�

Bledsoe said. “You have to find that in between because what’s most important to me is the team. After that is when I’ll get heavy on the recruiting process and everything.�

Bledsoe, ranked the 10th-best strong-side defensive end in the country by Rivals.com, cut his list of potential schools before the season to Kansas University, Oklahoma, Missouri, North Carolina State, Oregon and UCLA. He visited Oregon in September and will visit N.C. State on Saturday.

Sometimes it’s tough for Bledsoe to find that balance. He has received so many college letters

that he doesn’t keep up with them, and they all just go in a box. But he has learned to accept help. “My brother’s girlfriend actually has been kind of helping me out with that,� Bledsoe said, “organizing stuff when we were getting kind of behind. I appreciate her with everything to help me out with that.�

Bledsoe isn’t the only one trying to balance recruiting during the season. Senior linebacker Price Morgan has received several college offers, including South Dakota State, Air Force, North Dakota, Wyoming and Western Illinois, among others. Morgan is still working on setting up dates for official visits but plans to wait until the season is over. “I’m just kind of playing it by ear, like, see who else decides to offer after the season,� Morgan said. “There’s still a lot of things that can happen. I’ve talked to coach (Dirk) Wedd a little bit about it. Really, the main goal right now is winning the next game against Olathe East.�

He took an official visit to Northern Iowa two weeks ago. “I try not to pay attention to it because we have a state championship to win,� Georgie said. “Recruiting can be handled after the season. But you still have to let the coaches know you’re interested.�

For now, all of the Lions (8-0, 2-0 in districts, ranked No. 1 by Kpreps. com) are focused on securing the top seed for the state playoffs, which they will clinch with a victory. The Hawks (3-5, 0-2) were eliminated last week, but the Lions refuse to take them lightly, knowing 30 players are celebrating their Senior Night. “Number One priority for me is making sure this team is successful,�

Morgan said. “But at the same time, you have coaches (direct messaging) you (on Twitter), calling you. It takes up some time. But it’s a pretty good burden to have, I’d say.�

And despite all the attention his fastball draws, the rapid development of Syndergaard’s secondary pitches has been the key to his immediate success. “The amount of confidence that I’ve gained throughout this entire season and the journey has been an unbelievable experience for me,� he said.

After making his major league debut in May, Syndergaard picked up a twoseamer that runs to his arm side and fine-tuned his changeup. He gained control of his sharp slider without losing the ability to bend in that slower curveball.

Veteran teammate Michael Cuddyer used the words maturity, transformation and evolution in

describing Syndergaard’s season. “We’re really excited to see him on this stage and see him pitch tomorrow night, and very confident to have him out on the mound,� Cuddyer said.

All the improvements along the way helped Syndergaard finish 9-7 with a 3.24 ERA and 166 strikeouts in 150 innings

— not to mention a long home run to straightaway center field.

Then the right-hander went 1-1 with a 2.77 ERA in three NL playoff games, including his first career relief appearance.

Powerful arm, swift progression. “He’s a very fast learner,� Mets manager Terry Collins said. “He has no fear.�

MEMPHIS’ MARC GASOL, RIGHT, SHOOTS over Indiana’s Myles Turner. The Grizzlies defeated the Pacers, 112-103, on Thursday night in Indianapolis.

Roundup The Associated Press

Grizzlies 112, Pacers 103 Indianapolis — Marc Gasol scored 20 points, and Mike Conley added 13 points and 10 assists in his return home Thursday night, helping Memphis rally past Indiana.

The Grizzlies (1-1) had seven players score in double figures and closed it out by outscoring Indiana 18-7 over the final 3:49.

George Hill scored 20 points for the Pacers, while Paul George and C.J. Miles had 18 each. It wasn’t quite enough for the Pacers to avoid their first 0-2 start in six years.

The Pacers appeared to take command when they pulled out to a 75-66 lead with 1:44 left in the third quarter.

But the Grizzlies answered with 11 straight points to retake the lead early in the fourth. After George’s free throws gave the Pacers a 96-94 lead with 4:03 left, Gasol tied it with a short runner that sparked the final scoring flurry.

It was a topsy-turvy game most of the night.

Memphis took advantage of Indiana’s early shooting woes by building a 25-10 lead, then watched the Pacers methodically come back.

The Pacers got within 34-30 early in the second quarter, finally took their first lead at 43-42 and then looked as if they might pull away after starting the second half on a 9-1 run to take 58-51 lead.

Memphis quickly turned the tables on the new-look Pacers.

After C.J. Miles made consecutive three-pointers to help push the Pacers’ lead to nine, the Grizzlies scored the last seven points of the third quarter and the first four of the fourth and never trailed the rest of the game.

No joke: DT Wise stepping up ————

Red-shirt freshman learning when it’s time to ‘stop being Jay Leno’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

As unusual as it might be for an upperclassman to talk like this, Kansas University captain Ben Goodman said Tuesday that one of the best parts about the 2015 football season so far has been the opportunity to hang around the freshman.

And he cited secondyear player Daniel Wise, a red-shirt freshman Dtackle from Lewisville, Texas, as one of the biggest reasons for that.

According to Goodman, Wise is the funniest dude on the team. The senior defensive end did not provide any specific examples of Wise’s comedic nature, choosing instead to throw around words like “hilarious” and “jokester.”

Thanks to his play during the past couple of games, during which KU coach David Beaty said Wise made himself known on the game film — “I talk to those guys all the time, I have to feel you when I watch that video,” Beaty said — the 6-foot-3, 271-pound defensive tackle has started drawing recognition for something more than his stand-up routines.

“He’s finally learning that when it’s time to work, it’s time to turn it on and stop being Jay Leno,” Goodman said.

After failing to record a statistic in KU’s 66-7 loss to Baylor, Wise delivered career days in the two games that followed. He

And he followed that up with a sixtackle, one-sack effort last week at Oklahoma State.

During both outings, Wise’s increased effort and ramped-up intensity were notable during live action.

“He was a take-a-fewplays-off kind of guy for a while,” defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said of Wise, who will look to keep his roll going at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, when KU plays host to No. 14 Oklahoma at Memorial Stadium. “But he’s start-

ing to play a lot more consistent and using his technique better. We film everything, so it’s on film, and you get to show ’em, and if a guy’s competitive and has some pride, I think he eventually starts to understand the level that you have to play at.”

A three-star prospect out of Hebron High, Wise came to Kansas prior to the 2014 season ranked as the 77th-best defensive tackle in his class. After red-shirting the 2014 season, Wise found himself faced with an opportunity that most first-year players simply do not get. Kansas entered preseason camp with next to

Eubanks will enroll at Texas A&M, Baylor or Georgetown for secondsemester classes.

“I think things like that are positive. I’m unaware of any details on him,” Self said. This means all of Diallo’s teammates (from OSNA in Centereach, New York) to earn major-college scholarships have qualified for college scholarships.

Self had nothing else to say on the Diallo eligibility matter. l

Clinic starts: Self today welcomes about 150 coaches to Lawrence for his annual coaching clinic.

no depth and very little experience at Wise’s position, and that opened the door for him to stand out during August. Beaty and company repeatedly called his name when asked to identify the guys who looked good, and Wise opened the season atop the Jayhawks’ depth chart at defensive tackle.

In his first college game, the long, athletic lineman finished with five tackles and a sack. His numbers dipped and then leveled off from there until jumping back up during the past two weeks.

“I can see him growing,” Beaty said of Wise. “You start to (see) him on the

tape a little bit more. As he grows up and matures, he’s going to continue to become a really good player for us along the way.”

Goodman agreed and said Wise’s improved play was a matter of personal pride for him given that he was assigned as Wise’s “big brother” when he first arrived on campus.

“He’s building confidence,” Goodman said.

“And I told him the other day, ‘If you keep playing how you’re playing, you could easily be all-conference as a defensive tackle as a freshman.’ That would be really big for him and for the program.”

college head coaches and assistants in his father’s office. First-year Kansas head coach David Beaty made a lasting impression on him, when Beaty worked for Texas A&M. “I found out he got the KU job, so I called him and annoyed him enough, and he gave me the job,” Brown said.

“From then on, it’s been awesome. I love working for him. He’s great man.

There are not enough good things I can say about him.”

Brown said he thinks that enough high school coaches in Texas feel the same way about Beaty and added that the KU coach and his assistants are so good at building relationships that he is convinced Texas talent will play a huge part in restoring the KU program to respectability.

“If we continue building relationships the right way, and I that know we will, we’ll continue to get the recruits that we want in here,” Brown said.

That read on Beaty played a big part in the former Texas A&M recruiting coordinator/ wide-receivers coach shaping up as a headcoaching prospect KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger found appealing.

Brown knows as well as anyone, some prospects make it all the way to their goals. Some don’t.

Watching prospects develop is part of what makes sports so fascinating.
