BEVERLY AND DON “RED DOG” GARDNER, both of Lawrence, were honored by Lawrence police officers and Red Dog runners in South Park on Thursday night. The Boys & Girls Club Teen Center will be named in the couple’s honor, they learned Thursday.

Herington announced that he and his wife, Cindy, had pledged to donate $250,000 toward the future teen center in honor of the Gardners, and that it would carry the name “The Don and Beverly Gardner Center for Great Futures.”

Don Gardner has led community workouts for youth and adults for more than 30 years, and for 10 years the couple has

organized a 5K/10K run to raise money for the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence.

Don Gardner — a former Marine, police officer and director of security at Lawrence High School — confided later that he’d gone many years without crying, but he was choked up by Thursday night’s honor. Microphone in hand, Gardner thanked Please see CENTER, page 2A

Topeka — A special legislative committee began two days of hearings Thursday to review dozens of various tax credits and exemptions, hoping possibly to find at least LEGISLATURE some that might be repealed in order to raise state revenues.

His girls, 11-year-old Taylor Bush and 9-year-old Morgan Bush, were last seen in Lawrence with their mother, Samantha Elmer, on Oct. 26.

After a few days of the girls missing school in Eudora, Bush, of Smithville, Mo., grew concerned. Elmer told him the girls were ill, but after about four days with no doctor’s note, Eudora Elementary and Middle schools changed the girls’ absences to “unexcused,” Bush said.

hitting a southbound car, the Kansas Highway Patrol said in an accident report. The southbound car was turned by the impact and hit by a third car, which also had been southbound.

The driver of the northbound car, a man from Overland Park, was injured in the crash and taken to Stormont-Vail

hospital in Topeka, the report said. The driver and passenger of the first southbound car, a woman from Topeka and a man from Overland Park, were injured and transported to Overland Park Regional Medical Center.

No further information on the crash or the victims was available Thursday night.

the Heringtons’ donation increases the amount raised to $1.2 million, said Colby Wilson, executive director. The new teen center will enable the club to serve more youth and offer additional programs, Wilson said.

“We can’t think of two better people for what we’re going to do for our teen center,” he said.

The club’s current teen center at 1520 Haskell Ave. is overcrowded with about 70 teens who use the building after school. The future teen center will be adjacent to the newly completed

Lawrence College and Career Center, 2910 Haskell Ave. The center will share spaces for music, arts, athletics and a culinary kitchen with the Lawrence school district, according to a news release from the club.

Wilson said the project’s timeline, which is dependent on fundraising efforts, is to break ground in fall 2016 and have the new teen center open by August 2017.

so their mother could avoid the consequences of the law,” Bush said.

With the help of his congressman, U.S. Rep. Sam Graves, Bush recently drove to Chicago to get an emergency passport in case the girls are found.

Bush said it will be costly to get a last-minute flight when the time comes, but there’s “no way” he would let the girls be alone once found.

“Once I get that call, I’ll be on the next flight to Europe,” Bush said.

Lawrence police are seeking a warrant on Elmer for aggravated interference with parental custody, McKinley said. As of Thursday afternoon, she has not been charged in Douglas County with any crimes in connection with the alleged abduction, according to court records.

However, Cheryl Wright Kunard, assistant to the Douglas County district attorney, said the D.A.’s office is currently reviewing the case.

Elmer is set to have a hearing next Thursday to settle damages with the rental agency, according to Douglas County District Court records.

Taylor has blond hair and blue eyes, is approximately 4 feet tall and weighs about 75 pounds.

She has a scar on her right knee and forearm, according to Interpol. Morgan has blond hair and green eyes, is 3 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs about 65 pounds.

She may be wearing glasses. Elmer has blond hair and blue eyes, is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs approximately 160 pounds.

Elmer is a baker who had owned The Elm Bakery in Cleveland, Mo., prior to her move to Eudora in August.

Before that, she’d owned a bakery in Louisburg. Bush said he suspects someone in the area may have heard Elmer planning the trip to Europe and hopes any such information would be shared with police.

Those with any information about Elmer and the girls’ whereabouts should call 911 or the Lawrence Police Department at 832-7509.

years: the exemption enacted in 2012 that shields all personal income derived from certain kinds of business activity from state income taxes.

“It’s not (on the agenda) from what I can see,” said Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, who serves on the Senate Taxation Committee.

“But obviously, if we’re going to have an honest discussion about the effectiveness of tax policy, that needs to be the first thing we do immediately from my perspective.

That’s what’s caused this mess in the first place.”

The panel opened its hearings just a few days after another monthly revenue report came out, showing that for the fourth month in a row tax revenues flowing into state coffers came up short of projections.

The cumulative total shortfall so far this year is estimated at $77.9 million, which means that even if revenues meet projections for the rest of the fiscal year, the state would likely end the year with a negative balance in its general fund, which is not allowed under the Kansas Constitution.

Meanwhile, state budget officials will gather behind closed doors today to update those estimates, and it is widely expected they will lower the estimates for the current fiscal year, putting the state into an even deeper projected hole and possibly triggering another round of midyear “allotment” cuts in state spending.

The Legislature’s nonpartisan Research Department estimates that the exemption on socalled “pass-through” income from partnerships, sole proprietorships, limited liability corporations and the like are costing the state about $200 million a year.

Holland described the income tax cuts of 2012 and 2013 as “the 800-pound gorilla in the room.” But Sen. Ty Masterson, R-Andover, who chairs the special committee, disputed the sig-

nificance of that tax exemption.

“You’ve got all your low-income (individuals) that are exempt, you’ve got all kinds of credits and exemptions.

It’s only the media that makes that particular gorilla,” he said.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback pushed for those tax cuts in 2012, arguing they would spur business and job growth in the aftermath of the Great Recession, and that they would be “like a shot of adrenaline in the heart of the Kansas economy.”

Since then, however, job growth in Kansas has been slower than in many states in the region, averaging less than 1 percent per year.

But Rep. Steve Brunk, R-Wichita, argued that even that amount of job growth is remarkable, given what has happened to the Sedgwick County job market since Boeing announced in 2012 that it was closing its military manufacturing facility and selling off its civilian aviation plant.

“Since Boeing has left, over this last period of time, I’m hearing (Wichita has lost) 30,000 aviation jobs, or related jobs, jobs supported by the aviation industry,” he said. “That’s a huge loss.”

The committee spent most of the day Thursday getting a primer on the history behind many of the tax credits and exemptions.

One credit they examined was the Earned Income Tax Credit, which sends tax refunds to lower-income working families, even if they have no tax liability.

But officials told the panel that cutting the “EITC,” as it is called, would be difficult because the state counts those refunds, about $46.9 million a year, toward its “maintenance of effort” requirement in order to qualify for about $102 million in federal funds for the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, or TANF program.

On Oct. 29, Bush called Lawrence police, who checked Elmer’s Lawrence home but were unable to find the girls anywhere in town, Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said.

As it turned out, authorities would not be able to find them anywhere in the United States, let alone in Lawrence.

Investigators tracked Elmer and found she’d taken the girls to Europe, McKinley said.

Elmer, 33, had apparently left with the girls in anticipation of a custody hearing with Bush, Bush said. At that time, the two had joint custody, but Elmer was facing criminal charges of identity theft, felony theft and criminal use of financial cards in Johnson County, so Bush expected to receive sole custody. Elmer was set to stand trial for those charges Nov. 2, according to Johnson County court records.

According to Douglas County District Court records, Elmer had also been evicted from her Eudora home, owned by Stonehouse Rentals Inc., the day before she and the girls went missing. Bush said she’d moved the girls to Lawrence for about two days before vanishing.

“Instead of confronting her criminal past, she decided it would be best to snatch these children away from their lives, families, homes and friends and put them in a life of fear and on the run,” Bush alleged.

Bush learned she had rented a car in the Kansas City area, driven to Chicago and somehow gotten her daughters passports without Bush’s consent, he said.

They then boarded a plane on a round-trip ticket to Turkey, then Austria. Their return flight was supposed to come back Thursday, but the plane left without them.

Bush said he was “devastated” when he got the news that they wouldn’t be returning Thursday.

Still, he had assumed they wouldn’t be on the plane; Elmer may have never in— Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock tended to return, despite can be reached at 354-4222 or purchasing round-trip tickphancock@ljworld.com. ets. Round-trip internation-

al tickets are often cheaper than one-way tickets and cause travelers less hassle with customs.

Still, McKinley said, police “have not heard any mention that (Elmer) is never returning.”

Now, the investigation has gone international, as investigators have worked to create missing person profiles for the girls on Interpol, the intergovernmental criminal police organization that assists in solving international crimes. McKinley said the LPD is in contact with the FBI, who is dealing with authorities abroad.

Bush now spends his days awaiting investigation updates from his Smithville, Mo., home with his wife, Stephanie.

“We were just shopping for furniture for their rooms last week,” Bush said. “We just sold their bunk bed; they were excited to pick out their own beds.”

The family is currently raising money online to travel overseas once the girls are found. Attorneys have told Bush that he will likely need to spend “many days” wherever the girls are to handle paperwork, as the girls may be put in foster care once found.

And should Elmer take the children to a country where criminal and custodial law may differ from the U.S., Bush may have to stay even longer and find a foreign attorney to pursue civil action.

“These trials could span months or years, depending on the country, with many trips traveling back and forth just to prove my girls should have never been (dragged) from their home

school funds suit begin today

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — School districts and taxpayers across the state will be watching closely today as the Kansas Supreme Court hears oral arguments in one portion of the ongoing school finance lawsuit.

The case of Gannon v. Kansas was originally filed in 2010 by a coalition of school districts called Schools for Fair Funding, which includes the Kansas City, Wichita,

Hutchinson and Dodge City school districts, all of which have high percentages of students living in poverty and students from non-English speaking households.

Originally, they argued that school funding cuts enacted in the wake of the Great Recession by Democratic Gov. Mark Parkinson were unconstitutional and violated the remedy plan that had been agreed to in an earlier finance case, Montoy v. Kansas.

LAWRENCE • STATE

Survey lets students sound off on concealed guns on campus Heard on the Hill

ow do Kansas state university students really feel about concealed guns coming to campus?

And what do they think about various policy scenarios that might be put in place to deal with that impending reality?

A new survey — which students at Kansas University and other state schools should have in their email inboxes today — seeks answers.

At least at KU, I’ve overwhelmingly heard students and employees flat-out ridicule the law and say they hate the whole idea. But that’s just conversational. Most academics would probably agree with us journalists, the more hard data the better, so I’m pretty interested to see what this survey will reveal.

Members of the Students Advisory Committee to the Kansas Board

according to a KU Student Senate news release. “It’s important that students have a space to say something about their feelings of safety and security on campus whether that means carrying or prohibiting,� Pringle said in the release. “Leaving out student voices does not create sound policy.� “From the survey, SAC hopes to gain an aggregate and university spesshepherd@ljworld.com cific opinions regarding guns on campus,� the KU of Regents (KU Student Student Senate statement Body President Jessie said. “SAC plans to bring Pringle is chairwoman) the results to university have been talking about administrations and the doing the survey since Kansas Board of Regents their retreat in August to ensure that the voices and worked with the of students are heard.�

Docking Institute of PubHere’s some of what lic Affairs at Fort Hays the survey wants to find State University to create out from students (quesand execute it. tions paraphrased): l Do you think conStudents have until Nov. 25 to take the survey, cealed guns should be prohibited or allowed and results are expected in campus buildings, at to be out in December,

sporting events or in outdoor areas? Do you feel the same way for employees, students and visitors? l How strongly do you support or oppose gun storage lockers in various areas of campus? Is your opinion different for different types of guns, such as handguns or hunting rifles? l How high a fee would you be willing to pay for your university to install adequate security measures in buildings? l In your opinion, how would allowing concealed carry on campus affect campus crime levels? l How would allowing concealed carry on your campus affect your decision to attend this university?

Senate

dette Gray-Little, who attended the meeting, did not state her opinion on the law.

When asked, she did say she thought it was worthwhile for the KU community to share its views with state legislators and the Kansas Board of Regents, although she was unsure whether it would lead to any changes. “To my knowledge, the universities have not organized a lobbying effort, nor do I know of any effort like that by the Board of Regents,� Gray-Little said. “There has not been a voice from large numbers of people on campus.�

This month the Kansas Board of Regents is seeking feedback from universities on proposed amendments to its statewide weapons policy, which deal with implementing changes that would occur after July 1, 2017.

On that date, when an exemption to the current

state law allowing guns in public places expires for universities, concealed carry will be allowed on campuses. Universities could only prohibit concealed carry in buildings with “adequate security measures,� such as metal detectors and guards, to screen for weapons.

Some of Thursday’s University Senate discussion centered on ideas for getting around that.

Ron Barrett-Gonzalez, professor of aerospace engineering, suggested adding language to the Board of Regents policy that would exclude buildings that pose a “disproportionate threat� should a firearm be discharged within — such as a stadium packed densely with people who might stampede and science buildings that house substances such as chemicals or pressurized gas.

Other members wondered about the possibility of declaring classrooms

weapons-free but allowing concealed carry in hallways, though university attorney Sara Trower said the law as written doesn’t allow for that because it’s framed in terms of entire buildings.

There are students on campus who do support concealed carry because they believe it enables them to protect themselves, student body vice president Zach George said. George said he does not necessarily agree with those students but that it’s important to represent them.

A member of the University Senate weapons committee, tasked with studying the issue, reminded attendees that the committee wants to hear all views and that it’s important to hear both sides. University Senate president and professor of journalism Mike Williams is chairman of that committee.

ond time the case has been before the Supreme Court. In March 2014, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs on the equity portion of the suit and ordered the state to increase equalization aid.

But it sent the larger adequacy portion of the case back to a three-judge district court panel to be reconsidered using a different legal standard for measuring adequacy. It also directed the panel to monitor legislative actions to determine whether the state had solved the equity issues.

Initially, the 2014 Legislature complied with the Supreme Court order, increasing equalization aid by what was then estimated at $130 million.

But that aid ended up costing substantially more, and in 2015, lawmakers enacted sweeping changes. They abolished the base funding formula

entirely and replaced it with a system of block grants for two years, and they overhauled the way equalization aid to poorer districts is calculated.

The district court panel reviewed those changes earlier this year, and in June ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, saying the overall adequacy of funding and the overhaul of equalization aid are both unconstitutional.

The court also ordered, among other things, that certain provisions of the new equalization formula be stricken entirely from the statutes, effectively reinstating the old formula. But that order was put on hold pending the Supreme Court’s review.

The issue before the Supreme Court today involves only the change in equalization aid, a relatively small part of the case compared to the adequacy portion, which

could involve upward of $500 million a year in additional school funding.

Plaintiffs argue that lawmakers effectively cut nearly $54 million in equalization aid and changed the formula in such a way that some larger districts, including Lawrence, took big cuts, while others had their equalization aid cut off entirely.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office is appealing that decision. In the equity portion of the case, Schmidt’s office argues that the trial court lacked authority to review the Legislature’s actions this year; that it erred in concluding that funds were not being distributed equitably; and that the remedy ordered by the panel was unconstitutional.

Paul Laird, professor of musicology, called for the University Senate to send a resolution to state legislators expressing “disgust� about the law. “With this policy being foisted on us by Topeka, I don’t see this university remaining the same place,� he said. “I think we need to speak out.�

Student Senator Harrison Baker said he’s had fellow students ask him what will happen when a school shooting occurs at KU. “Not ‘if’ — ‘when’ it happens,� Baker said. “I don’t think the Legislature realizes that the people who live and breathe on this campus have taken such a fatalistic attitude. ...

Specifically, they argued that overall funding was inadequate, and that certain kinds of “equalization aid� for poor districts had been cut off entirely, resulting in poor districts having to levy higher local property taxes than wealthier districts to generate comparable amounts of money.

Since then, the case has mushroomed in complexity. Plaintiffs now argue that funding has been reduced even further under Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration. And more recently, they argue that the complete overhaul of school finance enacted during the 2015 legislative session is also unconstitutional.

BRIEFLY Brownback subject month to become execudirector of the National of open records suit tive Association of State Utility Wichita (ap) — Media outlets have sued Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback and others in his administration seeking public disclosure of agency records related to the appointment of a magistrate judge in Reno County.

The Associated Press, The Hutchinson News and the Kansas Press Association filed the open records lawsuit late Wednesday in Shawnee County District Court. The Kansas Press Association represents more than 230 member newspapers throughout the state.

The governor’s spokeswoman, Eileen Hawley, declined to comment on the pending litigation.

At issue is the state’s refusal to release documents submitted by candidates seeking appointment to the position of Reno County magistrate judge left vacant by the retirement of Randall McEwen.

Musicians to celebrate folk tune’s 40th birthday

By Fally Afani Special to the Journal-World

Forty years ago, when Steve Mason was driving to Ottawa to have pizza with his friends, a song began forming in his head.

By the time he got to his friend’s house, the musicians immediately gathered around and wrote what would end up turning into one of the most celebrated (and dark) quirky songs across the nation, one that would air on radio stations across the world and get re-recorded several times over.

This weekend, musicians near and far will gather at the Jackpot to celebrate the 40th anniversary of “Send Me to Glory in a Glad Bag.”

Keeping it fresh The song was written

by Mason, but perfected later when he joined the Alferd Packer Memorial String Band. While it is a bit dark, folk musicians tend to know how to lightheartedly handle subject matter like that.

You have to be proficient in puns for the fatal folk tune. Lines like “Send me to glory in a Glad bag/ Don’t waste a fancy coffin on my bones/ Just put me out on the curb next Tuesday/ Let the city sanitation bear me home” tend to require just the right touch.

Mason, a local luthier, multi-instrumentalist, and composer of casualties in chorus, spent decades perfecting his joke-

The band will be among several musicians celebrating the song “Send Me to Glory in a Glad Bag,” written by Mason, Saturday at Jackpot Saloon.

telling art.

“Joke songs are only good for one performance,” he says. “Pretty songs get prettier every time you play them, but funny songs are like telling a joke twice, so it’s a lot harder.”

This is why, in an effort to keep the performance fresh, Mason is pulling in a host of guest performers for the anniversary celebration.

“There’s going to be a bunch of people sing-

ing that song over and over again,” Mason says.

“We’re going to have various people who’ve written verses for it, and so we’ll be doing a 5-minutelong version of ‘Send Me to Glory in a Glad Bag.’”

Spreading the word It’s impressive that Mason found so many contributors to the song.

Folk songs tend to get covered, re-recorded, and performed in various renditions. But it was John Biggs’ version, a song he recorded in 1978, that helped the song really take off.

It made it as far as the coveted Dr. Demento show, a radio program specializing in novelty songs that launched other famous comedic musicians, such as “Weird Al” Yankovic.

“That recording got into the top 25 of all time from the Dr. Demento show,” Mason says.

“That started spreading it around the whole coun-

try.” Watching the song take off around the world and get re-recorded has always, and continues to, leave Mason a little bewildered.

“It’s certainly an ego trip,” he says. “We have had royalties dribbling in, but periodically I’ll go online and type in ‘Send Me to Glory in a Glad Bag’ or ‘The Glad Bag Song’ and see who’s doing it.

There’s recordings of lots of different people doing it, and it’s a rush.”

Mason says he’s seen the song make it as far as New Zealand.

After Biggs’ recording, a yearning for humor and energy drew Mason to a group of musicians that would later become The Alferd Packer Memorial String Band.

“I saw them onstage, and they where just hilarious. I said, that’s what I want to do,” he says. “We started wearing costumes so you could tell who was in the band and who wasn’t.”

Since 1981, the band has gone through several lineup changes.

“In those first 10 years, there had been 40 different people in the Packer band. It stabilized tremendously after that.

Past then, we’ve had personnel changes every five or 10 years,” he says, while joking (as always) that a band is a bit like a marriage. “I don’t know what keeps it together.

Something. Glue? Glue.

That seems logical.”

Revenue trends Repeated shortfalls in predicted state revenues are creating a challenging situation for the official state estimators.

T

oday, analysts and economists from the Brownback administration, the Legislature and three state universities are scheduled to put their heads together once again and try to predict how much revenue the state will bring in between now and June 30, 2016, the end of fiscal year 2015.

So far, the group’s predictions have been missing the mark.

Last April, the experts known as the Consensus Revenue Estimating Group, dropped their estimates for the current fiscal year by $98.2 million. Based on those estimates, legislators passed new revenue measures, including higher sales and cigarette taxes, to shore up the state’s coffers and provide a cushion of about $70 million, and the estimators adjusted their estimates accordingly.

Now, five months into the fiscal year, the state’s revenue shortfall stands at $77.9 million and the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee is saying he expects the state to have to make about $100 million in budget adjustments to avoid a negative balance at the end of the fiscal year.

The higher sales tax is helping, but not as much as the estimating group had expected. Overall tax receipts were about $11 million short of estimates in October, with sales and compensating use taxes falling $20.9 million below estimates. Individual income tax receipts were above $13.2 million estimates, thanks in part to a tax amnesty program that ran from Sept. 1 through Oct. 15.

Every month, state revenue officials cite different reason for missing the estimates. Sluggish sales and use tax receipts are part of a national trend, Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said last week. August’s shortfall was blamed on unexpected income tax refunds paid to several Kansas businesses. In September, the department pointed to a “dramatic drop in oil, gas and farm income across the Midwest states.”

These probably all are valid factors that make it difficult to precisely estimate how much tax revenue the state will take in from month to month. However, in most years, revenues ebb and flow above and below the estimates from month to month. What’s troubling about the current situation in Kansas is the steady trend of revenue shortfalls despite the corrective action taken by legislators earlier this year.

When the estimators meet today, they are expected to once again lower their revenue estimates for the rest of this fiscal year. Their predictions will guide adjustments for the current year as well as serving as the basis for next year’s budget plan. It will be interesting to see whether the group can find any basis for optimism about the state’s ability to meet its financial obligations.

Ruling attacks advocacy rights Washington — The IRS scandal — the denial of essential tax-exempt status to conservative advocacy groups, thereby effectively suppressing the groups’ activities — demonstrates this: When government is empowered to regulate advocacy, it will be tempted to suppress some of it. And sometimes government will think like Oscar Wilde: “The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.”

These truths should be on the Supreme Court’s nine fine minds today when they consider whether to hear a challenge to a lower court’s decision that disregards some clear Supreme Court pronouncements pertaining to the First Amendment.

The amendment says there shall be no laws abridging freedom of speech, but various governments are persistently trying to regulate, and perhaps chill, advocacy. The most recent wrinkle in this disreputable project comes from California.

There the Democratic attorney general has decreed that all entities wishing to solicit tax-deductible contributions in California must disclose their donors to the state government. One such entity — unfortunately for the attorney general, but fortunately for the cause of freedom — is the Center for Competitive Politics. Its litigators are tenacious opponents of government attempts to appoint itself regulator of the marketplace of ideas.

The CCP asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for protection from the attorney general’s decree. The appeals court sided with California’s attorney general, so the CCP

“

Now, California’s attorney general implicitly wants the rational basis test extended to government’s infringement of rights to which courts have ascribed ‘fundamental’ status — speech and association.” is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse the 9th circuit and rebuke California’s attorney general. Doing so, the Supreme Court would be defending a doctrine adumbrated in decisions over six decades.

In the 1950s, when the civil rights movement was surging, an Alabama court, pursuant to a state law requiring corporations doing business in the state to produce certain information, ordered the state chapter of the NAACP to produce, among other things, its membership lists. In 1958, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the NAACP’s refusal, arguing that forced disclosure would serve no compelling state interest and would deter civil rights supporters from exercising their constitutional rights of free speech and association.

The 1958 ruling was not, as

California’s attorney general suggests, limited to the circumstances of that time and place. And the NAACP ruling did not establish, as the 9th circuit believes, that governments can compel disclosure of donors’ participation unless the advocacy group (and charity and educational organization) can demonstrate the probability of threats or reprisals. This would leave governments with effectively unlimited power to intrude into the conduct of private associations.

Actually, from the NAACP and subsequent decisions has come the principle that compelled disclosure is an inherent injury to First Amendment rights.

Therefore governments bear the burden of proving, under exacting judicial scrutiny, that compelled disclosure is a narrowly tailored response to a specific and paramount government interest.

Because California’s attorney general does not acknowledge this burden, she has not even attempted to demonstrate how compelled disclosure of donors serves any plausible law enforcement interest. Instead, she misreads cases concerning the source of so much First Amendment mischief — campaign finance regulations. From these, and with the 9th circuit’s approval, she conjures government’s power to demand, upon the invocation of an unspecified law enforcement interest, disclosure of donors to noncandidate private associations wishing to solicit contributions. This is especially pernicious because it comes in the following context: For almost eight decades,

courts, without justification from the Constitution’s text or history, have been distinguishing between “fundamental” rights, such as speech and association, and supposedly lesser rights involving economic activity, property and contracts.

When judging government infringements of these secondary rights, courts have adopted the extremely permissive “rational basis” test: Any government regulation is permissible if the government asserts, or a court can imagine, a rational basis for the regulation.

Now, California’s attorney general implicitly wants the rational basis test extended to government’s infringement of rights to which courts have ascribed “fundamental” status — speech and association. This demonstrates three converging dangers.

One is that of relegating some rights to inferior status. A second is that of making those supposedly non-fundamental rights vulnerable to the non-protection of the rational basis test.

A third is that of allowing government, when it claims to be acting to prevent corruption or the appearance thereof, to merely assert a rational basis for regulating advocacy concerning public affairs.

By accepting the CCP’s appeal, the Supreme Court can stand athwart this confluence of sinister trends.

And it can achieve this large good by doing something modest — by reminding the 9th circuit of a redundantly affirmed constitutional principle.

Sitcom-style plot

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 6, 1915: years “S. J. Crumbine, ago secretary of the IN 1915 Kansas state board of health, and a world-famous expert concerning public and residential sanitation, will lecture at the Trinity Lutheran church next Tuesday evening.... Doctor Crumbine is the discoverer of the origin of infantile paralysis, in itself one of the great discoveries in that class made during the past fifty years, ranking with that of the discovery of the origin of yellow fever and typhus. It is difficult for Kansans to realize, with the inconspicuous, diffident figure of Dr. Crumbine moving among them, that it shelters a great mind, an intensely practical mind, and one that has unflagging industry and boundless public spirit behind it.”

“Frank Adams, the 17-yearold boy who was arrested last week for stealing a bicycle, was released from the city jail today. The boy impressed the officers as not being particularly bright, but he proved a good worker around the jail yard, and he promised the chief of police that he would go out and get a regular job.”

“Workmen started this morning to lay the brick pavement in the alley east of Massachusetts street, in the 600 block. The pavement will be ready for use in a short time now.”

— Teresa Wilke, Sustainability Action Network member plastic bags in 2011 but continued to carry disposable, recycled paper bags.

Jim Lewis, owner of Checkers Foods, said the plastic bags provided at his store are biodegradable.

“We went that route a long time ago,” Lewis said. “I don’t know what consumers are worried about, because they’re made out of biodegradable material.”

Horn said the issue was “outside the scope” of what the Sustainability Advisory Board recently selected as its 2015-2016 key initiatives: energy efficiency, land use and water conservation.

But Holcombe and Teresa Wilke, the member of Sustainability Action Network who drafted the memorandum, said the time is right.

“It’s a mess. It’s really a mess,” Wilke said. “I’m optimistic we can decide that, with enough encouragement, people can learn to keep reusable bags. I think every little bit is going to begin to make a difference.”

time to “stop talking and explore some actions,” said Thad Holcombe, a member of the Sierra group.

The item is on the advisory board’s agenda for its Wednesday meeting. Representatives from the environmental groups will present board members with a memorandum on the issue.

The memorandum specifically asks that the city create an ordinance imposing fees on single-use bags, paper and plastic, but the groups are open to other ideas.

“The proposal really is about initiating a conversation to include grocery store owners, the chamber of commerce, the City Commission, anybody that might be affected,” Holcombe said. “We really want to have an open conversation about the possibilities.”

Eileen Horn, sustainability coordinator for Lawrence and Douglas County, said the 10-member Sustainability Advisory Board would decide after the presentation whether to look into the issue further.

Part of the board’s mission is to advocate for city policies that support sustainability.

If the board decides to continue the conversation, it would be a multi-month process, Horn said.

“Plastic bag bans are complicated and contentious sometimes,”

Horn said. “It will be a long conversation and involve a lot of public comment, and the City Commission if it gets serious.”

The board has not previously considered taking action against single-use shopping bags, Horn said, but it has been mentioned when other communities enact bans.

Dozens of communities across the country have created ordinances either banning single-use bags or imposing fees on them.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, California is the first to impose a ban at the state level on singleuse plastic bags. That ban took effect in July.

Several other states have taken different actions, such as promoting the use of paper bags, mandating retailers have in-store recycling programs and restricting plastic bags in certain areas, such as North Carolina’s outer banks.

No community in Kansas has restrictions on single-use shopping bags, but a few have tried.

Prairie Village started studying a possible ban or fine late last year. Earlier attempts to ban plastic bags in Garden City and Roeland Park failed.

It is not sure yet whether the action will get traction in Lawrence.

Plastic bags are not accepted in the city’s curbside recycling program.

5 companies grab 70% of online dollars Internet giants such as Facebook and Amazon take in $300 billion Matt Krantz USA TODAY

The Internet was supposed to democratize and open up information, commerce and communication. But the spoils are going to a relative few.

Now that social media giant Facebook has reported its quarterly profit, investors can see how lucrative Internet business has become for the industry’s winners.

Just five companies in the Internet Software and Services and Internet and Catalog Retail industries within the Russell 3000 index, including Amazon, Google

parent Alphabet and Facebook, collected 70% of the industry’s more than $300 billion in revenue the past 12 months, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. Even that statistic masks how concentrated the Internet business is. Amazon and Alphabet together hauled in 57% of the total revenue generated by the Internet companies over the past 12 months.

Most of the massive digital opportunity has been grabbed by a small cadre of online behemoths that continue to get bigger.

Investors are realizing that if they want a piece of the Internet and technology revolution, they’d better stick with the big companies that keep getting stronger. The big three Internet companies — Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook — command more than 70% of the industry’s total market value of $1.5 trillion.

Smaller players are falling further be-

hind. Even Yahoo, which some people continue to think of as an Internet titan, brought in only 1.6% of the Internet indus-

try’s revenue over the past 12 months, and online streaming service Netflix brought in 2.1%.

This analysis has its limitations. It includes only publicly traded companies, leaving out private Internet companies that might be relevant. There are other broader technology companies that are active in online business but not classified as Internet companies. Microsoft, for instance, is not in the Internet industry but is a key rival to Amazon for cloud services for businesses, and its Bing search engine holds about 20% market search in U.S. searches. The same could be said about gadgetmaker Apple, which has become a peripheral player online through its dominance in smartphone sales, at least in the USA. The numbers show why the Internet giants are easily in the position to crush any small companies that stand in their way.

BIG QUESTIONS THAT COULD SHAPE THE 2016 ELECTION

It’s almost precisely one year until Election Day 2016. From now until then, there will be no shortage of furors and fireworks, attack ads and polls. What’s noise and what’s noteworthy? Here’s a look at five big questions with the power to shape, or reshape, who wins the White House on Nov. 8, 2016.

Pentagon spent $384M on failed Syrian program Fighters proved flop against Islamic State Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

When the Pentagon pulled the plug last month on its plan to train and field a force of moderate Syrians to combat the Islamic State, it had spent $384 million, or $2 million per fighter, for a program that produced dismal results, according to interviews and spending figures obtained by USA TODAY. WASHINGTON

The Pentagon tabbed $500 million in 2015 for the effort and promised to graduate 3,000 trained and equipped fighters this year and 5,000 annually thereafter to combat the Islamic State, also known as ISIL. The program was suspended after $384 million was spent. Of the 180 Syrians vetted, trained and equipped, 145 fighters remain in the program. Of those, 95 are in Syria. Two of the four training camps the Pentagon designated for the program in the Middle East never hosted a recruit.

The Pentagon disputes the $2 million figure per trainee, say-

“Our investment in the Syria train and equip program should not be viewed purely in fiscal terms.”

Navy Cmdr. Elissa Smith

ing the actual cost is far lower, $30,000 per trainee. The “vast majority” of the funds paid for weapons, equipment and ammunition, some of which the U.S.-led coalition still has in storage, Navy Cmdr. Elissa Smith, a spokeswoman, said in an email. In addi-

tion, some of those trained fighters have been calling in airstrikes, and ammunition designated for the trainees has been given to other forces fighting the Islamic State, Smith said.

“Our investment in the Syria train and equip program should not be viewed purely in fiscal terms,” Smith said.

In Iraq, the Pentagon has spent nearly $1 billion training and equipping security forces to counter the Islamic State, according to Mark Wright, a spokesman.

Despite that, the terrorist group holds Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city behind Baghdad, and Ra-

madi, a major city in the west.

The Syria train and equip program had been a centerpiece of U.S. strategy to confront the Islamic State after its success at capturing cities and territory across Iraq and Syria. The Pentagon announced that it planned to recruit, vet, train and equip thousands of Syrian “moderates” to protect their villages from the Islamic State onslaught.

In September, one group of trainees surrendered one quarter of their U.S.-supplied weapons, ammunition and vehicles for safe passage through territory held by another rebel group.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday there is a “strong possibility” a terrorist bomb brought down a Russian jet over the Sinai Peninsula, even as Russia and Egypt dismissed the assertion as premature speculation.

“I think there’s a possibility that there was a bomb on board.

And we’re taking that very seriously,” President Obama said Thursday.

“We’re going to spend a lot of time just making sure our own investigators and own intelligence community find out what’s going on before we make any definitive pronouncements. But it’s certainly possible that there was a bomb on board,” Obama told KIRO in Seattle in a series of radio interviews.

France joined Britain and Ireland in suspending all flights to the Egyptian resort city of Sharm el-Sheik. The ill-fated Russian Metrojet left the resort’s airport Saturday morning before crashing into the Sinai Peninsula less than 30 minutes later, killing all 224 onboard.

Cameron’s office said flights to bring back stranded British tourists from Sharm el-Sheik will begin Friday. Additional security measures will be in place on the flights, and passengers will be allowed to bring only hand luggage.

Checked bags will be transported separately, Cameron’s office said Thursday in a statement.

As many as 20,000 Britons are in the Red Sea resort without air transport since flights were suspended, the BBC reported.

Britain “continues to advise against all but essential travel by air to or from Sharm el-Sheik airport, but we are continuing to work with the Egyptians to get back to normal service as soon as possible,” the statement said.

The director of the airport was fired Wednesday.

Metrojet blamed “external in-

Thursday, the airline said it suspended all flights of Airbus A321 jets in its fleet.

A Sinai affiliate of the Islamic State militant group claimed it brought down the jet in the Sinai, where Egypt is fighting an insurgency. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who was on an official visit to London on Thursday, called the terrorist group’s pronouncement “propaganda.”

The Elysee Palace in Paris said Thursday the decision to cancel flights to the resort was made “to ensure the safety of people from France,” the Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported.

Cameron emphasized that a final determination on the cause of the crash depends on the completion of the investigation in Egypt, the Associated Press reported.

“We don’t know for certain that it was a terrorist bomb … (but it’s a) strong possibility,” Cameron said before his meeting with Sisi.

Cameron said the decision to suspend British flights was based on “intelligence and information we had that gave us the concern that it was more likely than not a terrorist bomb.”

After his meeting with Camer-

on, Sisi said the two countries were “working intensively together in a spirit of close cooperation.” He noted that British experts looked at security at Sharm el-Sheik airport 10 months ago and were “happy” with what they found. Egypt is “completely ready to cooperate with all of our friends” on ensuring the safety of tourists, he said.

In Moscow, Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, insisted that aviation investigators were considering all possible theories for the cause of the crash, and there are “no reasons to voice just one theory as reliable — only investigators can do that,” according to the Russian Interfax news agency.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that if Britain had information about a bomb, it was “really shocking” it hasn’t shared it with Russia, the news agency ITARTass reported.

Cameron spoke by phone late Thursday with Putin to express his condolences over the loss of Russian life and to relay British “concerns that the plane may have been brought down by an explosive device,” the prime minister’s office said in a statement.

administration she had served — would be hard to dismiss as just politics.

Peter Zeidenberg, a former federal prosecutor who has handled some celebrated cases against public officials, says he doubts it will go that far. “Using her own server — just for the obvious reasons everyone has identified, including her — is foolish and maybe a breach of various protocols and policies,” he says.

“But to the extent people are excited about the possibility of her being charged criminally because of mishandling classified materials, that seems absolutely fanciful.”

He says investigators may feel some pressure to resolve the inquiry as soon as possible. FBI Director James Comey told the House Oversight Committee last month that he was following the investigation “very closely” and promised the bureau would do its work “promptly, professionally and independently.”

That said, Zeidenberg acknowledges that investigations sometimes take an unexpected course. “This whole business about having an email server in the first place came as a result of an investigation that grew out of the Benghazi thing,” he notes.

That’s alarmed those Republicans — perhaps moving to intermediate stages of anger or depression — who note that it’s been more than a half-century since Americans were willing to elect a newcomer to the nation’s top political job.

“While I’m in the camp that eventually a mainstream ‘establishment’ Republican will carry the party’s torch, it’s clearly possible Donald could be the party’s nominee,” says GOP strategist Sara Taylor Fagen, a former White House political director for George W. Bush. She tempers predictions that a Trump ticket would doom the party in November. “While general election prospects for the GOP look bad today with Mr. Trump at the helm, the electorate is very fickle right now. I’d be careful to read too much into polls now that say he can’t win a general election.

And we shouldn’t underestimate his ability to adapt his message to new circumstances.”

There are limits to how far Clinton, who will need Obama’s most loyal supporters to win in 2016, can distance herself from her former boss, especially on foreign policy. “She’s tried,” says Miller, a senior scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center. “I think she’d have a very hard time walking away from him.”

If there is a downturn, history says President Obama probably would bear most of the blame — and a president’s approval rating is one of the most significant single indicators of how his party will fare in elections.

“Under the safe assumption that most people aren’t running Keynesian models of the macroeconomy, presidents get the credit for good times and blame for bad ones,” Bernstein says, even though “they typically don’t deserve either.”

That’s because the confrontations involve not only Syrian President Bashar Assad — Obama has demanded his resignation for the past four years, to little effect — but also leaders of Russia, Iran and the rising selfproclaimed Islamic State.

Obama’s decision last month to send 50 U.S. special ops forces to Syria has increased the risks to his administration and to his former secretary of State. Clinton has made a point in interviews and in her 2014 memoir, Hard Choices, that she advocated a more muscular response to bolster moderate Syrian rebels early in the civil war, a step Obama was loath to take. She supports enforcing a no-fly zone, a sort of buffer zone to protect civilians, something Obama has rejected.

an alternative to the two major political parties. In a USA TODAY/Suffolk University this fall, 30% of those surveyed said the Democrats and Republicans did a good job of representing the country’s political views. A 53% majority said a third party or multiple parties were necessary.

The outsider candidates in both parties have generated the most energy — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Democratic socialist challenging Clinton, and Donald Trump and Ben Carson in the GOP. If they don’t win the nomination, what would their supporters do? Would Trump or someone else outside the party establishment mount an independent candidacy?

The possibilities of an independent bid seem higher on the right than the left because the insider-outsider divisions are deeper in the GOP than among the Democrats.

“I believe there is a strong possibility that a third-party candidate would emerge if Mr. Trump were to win the nomination,” Fagen says. “If you think about it, any of these Republican governors now running would be in the middle between Trump and Clinton. Given the increasing number of people who identify as independent, this would be the right place to be politically. If Trump were leading the party, why wouldn’t they look at it?”

Remember this: Independent candidates don’t have to win the race to affect the outcome. Ask Democrat Al Gore about the impact Ralph Nader had in 2000 or Republican George H.W. Bush about Ross Perot’s bid in 1992.

NO COMBATANTS IN HOSPITAL HIT BY U.S. Doctors Without Borders report describes scenes of horror in Afghan facility Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

No armed combatants were in or near an Afghan hospital hit by a U.S. airstrike last month that killed 30 people, including patients who were burned in their beds and staff gunned down by a circling U.S. gunship as they tried to flee, according to an investigation by Doctors Without Borders.

The international aid organization released its 13-page report Thursday that described the scene of abject horror at the hospital it ran in Kunduz. The attack continued for more than an hour Oct. 3 as Doctors Without Borders officials worked frantically to alert U.S. and other authorities, the report said.

The U.S. previously called the airstrike a “mistake.” President Obama expressed his “deepest condolences” for the victims and promised a thorough investigation.

“The view from inside the hospital is that this attack was conducted with a purpose to kill and destroy,” Christopher Stokes, general director of Doctors Without Borders, said in AFP/GETTY IMAGES a statement Christopher Thursday. “But Stokes we don’t know why. We neither have the view from the cockpit, nor the knowledge of what happened within the U.S. and Afghan military chains of command.”

The strikes appeared to focus almost exclusively on the main hospital, where patients filled the intensive care unit and surgeries were underway, the report said.

Patients burned in their beds, medical staff were decapitated or

had their limbs blown off and others were on fire as they fled the devastation, it added.

Some trying to escape were gunned down by a AC-130 gunship, according to the report.

Thirteen staff members and 10 patients were among those killed.

“Hospitals have protected status under the rules of war,” Joanne Liu, international president of Doctors Without Borders said in the report. Yet, the hospital “came under relentless and brutal aerial attack by U.S. forces.”

The attack occurred as Afghanistan security forces, supported by the U.S. military, tried to recapture Kunduz from Taliban insurgents who had taken the city of 300,000 the week before.

In the days before the attack,

Doctors Without Borders confirmed the location with U.S. officials in Kabul and the Afghan Ministry of the Interior.

There were 105 patients in the hospital when the attack began, including three or four Afghan government security troops and about 20 Taliban fighters, who were unarmed in line with a policy disallowing weapons at the facility, the report said.

The Pentagon issued a statement in the days after the airstrikes that “insurgents ... were directly firing upon U.S. servicemembers advising and assisting Afghan security forces.” Sediq Sediqi, spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry, also insisted that up to 15 enemy fighters were shooting from the hospital.

Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee have been relegated to the preliminary debate next week, while Lindsey Graham and George Pataki will not be invited at all to the event, Fox Business Network and The Wall Street Journal announced Thursday.

The news organizations said that Tuesday’s prime time debate in Milwaukee will have only eight candidates who had high enough poll numbers: Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich and Rand Paul.

As with three previous Republican events, there will be a preliminary debate of the lower polling candidates; this one will feature Christie, Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Bobby Jindal.

Graham and Pataki — both of whom participated in preliminary debates in Ohio, California and Colorado — did not poll well enough to receive an invitation.

State employees can no longer direct a portion of their paychecks to Planned Parenthood or the Clinton Foundation, after a state panel decided to remove the groups from the state’s charitable giving program.

Gov. Ducey, who chairs the State Employee Charitable Campaign, said the decision was motivated by recent controversies surrounding the two non-profits.

“The governor supports this decision by the committee,” Ducey spokesman Daniel Scarpinato wrote in an email to The Arizona Republic. “The state has to be responsible and thoughtful about programs that are approved as part of a taxpayer-run entity, and these two organizations have been embroiled in controversy.”

The decision came to light following a report by the Phoenix New Times.

FRANCISCO

When Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg showed up in Midtown Manhattan in May 2012 for a meeting with potential IPO investors, many buttoned-up Wall Street types gathered at the Sheraton Hotel there scoffed at his casual attire.

Some snickered again when Zuckerberg, clad in his trademark hoodie, suggested that Facebook’s total addressable market could be worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

To accept that figure for consideration, one had to believe that the social media upstart — which had no video ad products at the time — could steal advertising dollars away from the broadcast and cable television networks.

That number, in fact, echoed language in the company’s original prospectus, where Facebook wrote that “total worldwide advertising spending in 2010 was $588 billion,” in the first paragraph of the document section titled, “Our Market Opportunity.”

The skeptics from New York — America’s advertising capital — could be forgiven for laughing then.

But after the company’s thirdquarter financial report was released late Wednesday, no one who makes a living selling ads is laughing at Zuckerberg now.

Not after Facebook sold more

than $1 billion more in advertising during the period than it did in the same quarter a year ago, driving total revenue up 41% to $4.5 billion.

And not after its executives said on an earnings conference call that prices paid per ad were up a mind-blowing 61% yearover-year, driving ad revenue 45% higher (57% on a constant currency basis).

“If you want to shift brand awareness, we can do that,” Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg said confidently, after reeling off a series of cases in which online marketers had used Facebook ads

together with other online and offline promotions to boost both sales and consumer mind-share.

Investors who once scoffed now can’t buy the company’s shares fast enough as Facebook, at $109 a share, is now valued at $306 billion, or nearly three times its IPO valuation.

Yet that figure makes it hard to argue that its shares are a screaming buy right now.

In fact, Facebook is now worth more than Intel and Cisco combined, nearly as much as IBM and Oracle combined, and more than 15 times the valuation of Twitter, its smaller rival in the business of mobile advertising.

The stock’s year-to-date surge makes it look overbought in the near term.

Zuckerberg watches his pockets swell by $30.2B Watch out Warren Buffett.

Mark Zuckerberg is on your tail.

Following Facebook’s betterthan-expected results Wednesday, the No. 1 social media company is worth $306.4 billion.

That not only puts Facebook’s market value ahead of General Electric at $299.6 billion, it makes Facebook the seventh most valuable company in the Standard & Poor’s 500.

The next company Facebook is poised to overtake is Amazon (which it had briefly exceeded in value during the day), then Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, valued at $336.5 billion, S&P Capital IQ says.

suffered in the months following the IPO. But since then, it has been a home run. Facebook stock was first sold for $38 a share. Thursday, it closed at $108.76, a gain of 186%.

There’s no question Facebook is not a cheap stock, as shares are trading for more than 100 times its diluted earnings over the past 12 months.

That’s a nosebleed valuation even for a company that’s expected to grow by roughly 30% a year over the next few years.

Facebook has generated net income of $2.8 billion on revenue of nearly $16 billion over the past 12 months. Analysts are calling for Facebook’s adjusted profit to jump 22% this year and 31% next year, S&P Capital IQ says.

Zuckerberg owns 426.3 million shares of Facebook, or 15% of the shares outstanding. That means his stake in the company has gained $30.2 billion since the IPO to $46.4 billion.

ExxonMobil investigated for climate change statements

Subpoena questions whether energy giant deceived public, investors Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

ExxonMobil is under investigation by New York’s top law enforcement officer about whether it lied to investors and the public about the risks and financial impact of climate change.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman subpoenaed the firm Wednesday, seeking financial records, statements and other climate-change-related material dating to 1977, according to a government official with direct knowledge of the matter. The official discussed the issue on con-

dition of anonymity because the subpoena and other details of the investigation remain secret.

“Exxon Mobil has included information about the business risk of climate change for many years in our 10-K, Corporate Citizenship Report and in other reports to shareholders,” ExxonMobil said in response to questions about the subpoena.

The company’s 10-K annual report for the 2014 fiscal year stated many countries are considering regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions “due to concern over the risk of climate change.”

“These requirements could make our products more expensive, lengthen project implementation times and reduce demand for hydrocarbons, as well as shift hydrocarbon demand toward relatively lower-carbon sources

BEBETO MATTHEWS, AP

Eric Schneiderman is seeking information dating to 1977.

such as natural gas” it warned, adding that new rules “may also increase our compliance costs.”

The broad investigation by Schneiderman’s office focuses on whether ExxonMobil made timely and accurate disclosures about how its climate-change research, the impact of long-term environmental shifts and any movement away from usage of fossil fuels

could have on the company’s financial fortunes.

New York’s Martin Act gives the state’s attorney general broad authority to investigate suspected financial wrongdoing and how it could affect investors.

Material sought by the subpoena includes research reports showing potential causes of climate change and documents detailing how the company made business decisions and financial projections based on environmental projections, according to the official. Additionally, the subpoena seeks information about ExxonMobil’s funding of organizations involved in climatechange research, including those that challenged climate science findings. Schneiderman’s office also sought the firm’s disclosures in Securities and Exchange Com-

mission filings and other statements to investors.

Investigators plan to examine whether ExxonMobil’s internal research and findings square with what the company told investors and the public.

The energy giant is the second major company under investigation by Schneiderman over climate-change statements. Peabody Energy the world’s largest private-sector coal producer, turned over documents in response to a 2013 request, and disclosed the issue the following year, the official said.

“Peabody continues to work with the New York Attorney General’s office regarding our disclosures, which have evolved over the years,” spokesman Vic Svecsaid in a statement the firm issued Thursday.

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

Whether the Federal Reserve pulls the trigger on an interestrate hike next month at its final meeting of the year could hinge on how many jobs the U.S. economy created in October.

That’s why Wall Street is closely eyeing the government’s October employment report set for release at 8:30 a.m. ET Friday.

“Traders are exercising caution ahead of Friday’s key non-farm payrolls report, which could have December rate-hike implications,” Andrea Kramer, analyst at Schaeffer’s Investment Research, told clients in a report.

Wednesday, Fed Chair Janet Yellen told a House committee that a December rate hike remains on the table if employment

and economic data continue to firm.

Wall Street economists are forecasting job growth of 183,000 and the unemployment rate to tick down to 5% from 5.1%.

Job growth slowed considerably the prior two months, with 142,000 new jobs created in September and August job growth revised down to 136,000.

Prior to those months, new jobs came in north of 200,000 on a regular basis.

The general consensus on Wall Street is that a solid jobs beat is necessary to keep the Fed’s rate hike plans for later this year on track. “A third sub-200,000 reading is unlikely to reinforce optimism for an end of the year rate increase,” noted Lindsey Piegza, chief economist at Stifel.

How stocks react to the jobs number could hint at investors’ comfort level with a rate hike.

Investment tool nice but comes with caveat Q: What’s the biggest problem with myRA? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: MyRA is a new tool designed to help make saving for retirement a bit easier. But these accounts have a drawback that means they likely will fall short.

The MyRA retirement savings is one option for households that normally don’t have much access to retirement savings plans from their employers.

These plans charge no fees and there’s no setup charge. Appealing to low- and middle-income Americans, the new plan allows for contributions of any size, even if just $2. The plan allows for contributions of up to $5,500 a year, or $6,500 a year for Americans who are 50 years old or older.

The plan invests in U.S government securities, meaning there’s little risk of losing principal — a comforting thought to some.

But the fact the plan invests in U.S. government securities also is a hitch, says Bob Johnson, CEO of the American College. Treasury investments over the long term most likely will just keep pace with inflation. Savers need more stocks to generate real returns, he says. A dollar invested in Treasuries likely would grow to $4.32 or less in 30 years. That same $1 could grow to $17.45 if invested in stocks.

That kind of appreciation is needed to meet long-term goals, like retirement.

Bitcoin tops $400 mark as interest grows in blockchain Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

Digital currency bitcoin broke the $400 mark for the first time this year on Tuesday — and Wall Street is betting it will go even higher.

Brokerage firm Wedbush Securities said it sees the cyber coin costing $600 per bitcoin in the next 12 months, citing growing interest by large financial institutions in bitcoin’s underlying technology, known as blockchain.

Bitcoin, which has been used NEW YORK

GEORGE FREY, GETTY IMAGES

The digital currency bitcoin has been used to buy everything from cars to computers to illicit drugs.

to buy everything from cars to computers to illicit drugs, traded at $404.50 per bitcoin Thursday afternoon, according to bitcoin

data tracker Coindesk. Tuesday, the digital currency broke the $400 mark for the first time since last November, up more than 50% from January.

It has been a rocky road for bitcoin enthusiasts, who watched the cyber money rise to almost $1,000 per bitcoin in late 2013 before the world’s largest bitcoin exchange, Mount Gox, collapsed in 2014. Mount Gox’s collapse pummeled bitcoin’s reputation, and it was blasted as the worst investment of 2014 after falling a whopping 58%.

But bitcoin appears to be gaining momentum once again —

jumping to as high as $485 per bitcoin Wednesday on Coindesk — amid signs of growing interest in its transaction technology, known as blockchain.

On Tuesday, Magister Advisors, which advises on tech mergers, said the world’s top 100 financial institutions are projected to spend an estimated $1 billion on blockchain-related projects over the next 24 months.

The U.K.-based firm also said it sees bitcoin becoming the sixthlargest global reserve currency within 15 years. It’s also being boosted by European Union’s move in October to define bitcoin

as a currency rather than a commodity for tax purposes.

But Wedbush suggested future gains will be pegged to investments by Wall Street firms, such as Goldman Sachs and the New York Stock Exchange, which have said they are looking at blockchain technology as a way to help them conduct financial transactions safely and cheaply.

“We believe bitcoin and its associated blockchain technology have the potential to disrupt the existing financial infrastructure over the next several years,” Wedbush said in the report that set the $600 price target.

‘Peanuts’: No iPhones, iPads or bathroom jokes Project hits the screen on creator Schulz’s terms Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

Producer Craig Schulz recalls laying down truth about Peanuts tradition, with vigor, before work started on The Peanuts Movie.

If Blue Sky Studios animators were to make a movie based on his father Charles M. Schulz’s beloved comic strip, they were going to do it the Schulz way — timeless and classic.

“I remember sitting in the room on Day 1 saying: ‘We’re not putting in iPhones or iPads. And if there’s one fart joke, we’re shutting this project down,’ ” Schulz says. “Everyone knew the standard from the get-go.”

The Peanuts Movie (in theaters Friday) marks the first time that Charlie Brown, Snoopy and gang have been in theaters since 1980’s Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown.

After Charles Schulz died in 2000, putting an end to the strip he had drawn for 50 years, the family was intent on protecting the brand. “It was not worth the risk to do a movie if it wasn’t going to turn out good,” Schulz says.

“That’s why we waited so long.”

The stars aligned after Craig Schulz wrote a tradition-honoring screenplay with his son, Bryan, and teamed with simpatico director Steve Martino, who had adapted Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears

TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX & PEANUTS

Snoopy and Charlie Brown pack up for The Peanuts Movie, the first Peanuts project in theaters since 1980. a Who! for the big screen in 2008.

“It was not the time to be reinventing (these characters),” Martino says. “I wanted to deliver a film that stands with love.”

There was an outcry when filmmakers announced the project would be 3-D and computeranimated. “Some fans went to the dark side initially about that,” Schulz says. “But we’re painting on a much larger canvas onscreen — we had to up the ante.”

Most decisions sided with Peanuts custom, such as nixing hair for the famously bald Charlie Brown. “You put hair fibers on the character and you realize it looks terrible,” Schulz says.

The filmmakers also fought pressure to bring in marketable celebrities to play the children.

They tried out out more than 1,000 hopefuls to find the right voice actors in the spirit of the TV specials.

Martino says The Peanuts

Movie moves at “a faster clip” than past projects “because today’s audiences, particularly kids, gobble information fast.” But the story remains close to source material. Charlie Brown woos the Little Red-Haired Girl, Snoopy takes his doghouse on imaginary World War I plane flights — only now he spins through 3-D skies.

The movie will be a big hit, even competing against James Bond in Spectre this weekend, says Jeff Bock, box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations.

“The Peanuts gang finally have the right movie, and this will be huge, a minimum of $45 million,” says Bock, who sees it as the beginning of an enviable franchise.

“And this weekend is just the beginning. This movie will play all through the holiday season.”

Schulz is pleased with the result. “People tell me that my dad would be so proud,” he says. “It’s keeping what he did alive.”

Adding humidity can protect home furnishings Linda a. ditch

Simply heating water on a stovetop is one way to add humidity inside a home. Indoor humidity should be between 30 and 50 percent.

Hometown Lawrence

Dryer skin and hair, irritated nasal passages, dry throats, itchy eyes and static electricity are all signs of low humidity in the home. Besides upping the risk of respiratory illness, dry air also is detrimental to the home’s wooden furniture, floors and trim, which can crack and split.

Humidifiers can solve the dry air problem. Ideally, indoor humidity should be between 30 and 50 percent. To determine the level in your home, purchase an indoor humidity monitor. (Many are included in home weather stations that also show the temperature.)

There are three types of humidifiers to choose from.

The most common are tabletop humidifiers, inexpensive portable

units that work best for single rooms. The small water tank requires daily refills and weekly disinfecting. Plus some units are noisy, which is especially important when buying one for a bedroom.

Console humidifiers are larger, multi-room units that are somewhat portable and often designed to look like a cabinet to fit into the room’s decor. The larger tank means less water refills, but the units can be very noisy.

Some create as much noise as a window air conditioner. Plus they can up your electric bill.

A whole-house humidifier, also called in-duct humidifier, sends moisture throughout the entire house via a forced air heating system. This system requires

professional installation. Most heating and air conditioning companies can do the work.

No matter what type of humidifier you choose, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions to keep harmful bacteria from growing in the water tank and dispersing into the air.

Also, there is such a thing as too much humidity during the winter months, especially in newer homes with tight, energy-efficient construction. The warning sign is condensation build up on the windows. Too much condensation can seep from the windows into the walls and ceilings, which can lead to peeling paint, damp insulation, mold, mildew, and rot.

As an alternative, there are a

few ways to increase your home’s humidity without the use of a humidifier: • Simmer water on the stovetop. Add cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, citrus peels or dried herbs and flowers for a lovely fragrance.

• Houseplants and vases of water also put humidity into a room.

• Place a bowl or pan of water over part of a heating vent, on top of a radiator or near a

heat source.

• After a bath, let the water stand in the tub until it is completely cool.

• Open the bathroom door after a shower to let the steam into nearby rooms.

• Hang your laundry to dry instead of using the dryer.

• Purchase a tabletop fountain.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Ottawa’s outing at UK surreal The email arrived in Ottawa University head basketball coach Aaron Siebenthall’s inbox early this past summer.

Before getting too excited about its contents, an invitation to play against John Calipari’s Kentucky basketball team, Siebenthall did a little detective work.

“I have some pretty creative friends,” Siebenthall said.

He met many of them playing football and basketball at Lawrence High, where he also worked as assistant basketball coach for six seasons.

“I went online. I had to vet the person sending it to me, had to make sure DeWayne Peevy is a real person,” Siebenthall said.

Sure enough, Siebenthall discovered that Peevy, deputy athletic director at Kentucky, was a real person delivering a real invitation.

Peevy’s boss, Kentucky AD Mitch Barnhart, 56, graduated from Ottawa, where as a student headed the sports information department and was editor of the student newspaper.

Kentucky has played an exhibition vs. the alma maters of Calipari (Clarion University) and Peevy (University of Montevallo) in recent years.

The Braves lost Monday to Kentucky, 117-58, in front of 20,743 at Rupp Arena.

Two days earlier, Ottawa had lost, 82-74, on its homecourt, Wilson Fieldhouse, in front of 225 spectators.

Asked if he scouted Kentucky to prepare for the game, Siebenthall smiled and said, “No. We just showed up. All I really cared about was that our guys got to enjoy the experience.”

All 15 Braves varsity players got into the game and all the players from both JV teams made the trip and were treated to grub at a Kentucky football team meal.

One of the highlights of the trip came when Calipari addressed the Ottawa team in the visiting locker room before the game. After the game, Calipari joined an Ottawa team photo and even posed for a picture with Siebenthall’s daughter, Berkley, who spent her first birthday driving in the car with her mother and grandparents to Lexington, Kentucky, for a basketball game.

Ottawa senior guard Marshon Norfleet of Grandview, Missouri, scored 20 points in 19 minutes, 16 points coming in the first half. Norfleet made 6 of 12 field goals and 4 of 8 threepointers, shooting better vs. Kentucky than vs. Baker (6 of 19, 0 for 5 from three).

Big crowds and famous foes bring out the best in some athletes.

Without embellishing, Norfleet forever can tell the world about the night he heard an inspirational speech from the famed coach Calipari in a Rupp Arena locker room and responded to it by scoring 20 points in 19 minutes. Not a bad memory.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S BRANNEN GREENE, LEFT, AND HUNTER MICKELSON react to a call during the Jayhawks’ 89-66 exhibition victory over Pittsburg State on Wednesday night in Allen Fieldhouse. Mickelson had 10 points, six rebounds and four blocked shots.

Mickelson provides highlights in exhibition

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Two of the top individual plays in Kansas University’s 89-66 victory over Pittsburg State on Wednesday came courtesy of athletic 6-foot10, 245-pound senior big man Hunter Mickelson. n With a half minute re-

maining in the first half, the alert Jonesboro, Arkansas native, who was shadowing guard Louis Rollins on the baseline, turned as Rollins dished to trailing forward Denton Hays.

The 6-foot-7 Hays had his left-handed offering swatted cleanly by Mickelson. The ball caromed to KU’s Lager-

ald Vick, who passed ahead to Carlton Bragg, who took one dribble, then had his driving layup roll off the rim to a trailing Mickelson, who was right there for the onehanded follow dunk.

“It started off with defense.

I was able to block the shot,” said Mickelson, who finished with four of KU’s nine

blocks. “In a situation like that, where the guy (Bragg) is out ahead, he might have two guys on him or one guy on him, you kind of have to follow in case he might miss. It kind of worked out that way.” n Midway through the second half, KU guard Devonté Please see HOOPS, page 3C

Texas football in unfamiliar territory

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

It’s a tough time for Texas football, which enters Saturday’s 7 p.m. home game against winless Kansas at 3-5 overall, 2-3 in Big 12 play and with a very un-Texaslike 39-33 record since the 2010 season that followed

UT’s loss in the 2009 BCS national championship game.

To say the natives are getting restless would be an understatement, and second-year UT coach Charlie Strong, who is just 9-12 thus far at Texas, has been at the center of the storm.

This week, on the heels

of a 24-0 loss at Iowa State last weekend — an embarrassing defeat that followed back-to-back impressive wins over Oklahoma and Kansas State — Strong and the Longhorns have been asked some tough questions about the state of the program. While 39 wins in what Kansas fans know as

the post-Mark Mangino era might sound like a dream to those in Lawrence — the Jayhawks are just 12-56 since 2010 — it’s been more of a nightmare in Austin, and frustrations are starting to mount both inside and outside the program.

Prep playoffs on tap tonight Undefeated Lions set to take on SM North

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High’s football team is well-known for its defensive front seven, which has shut down opposing run games all season long.

Now, the LHS secondary will get its biggest test of the season against Shawnee Mission North at 7 p.m. today at LHS in the first round of the Class 6A state playoffs.

The eighth-seeded Indi-

ans (3-6) featured one of the top passing attacks in the Sunflower League this season, led by junior quarterback Will Schneider, a three-year starter.

Schneider tossed for 2,089 yards and 16 touchdowns in the regular season with only seven interceptions in 292 attempts. He also ran for 393 yards and nine touchdowns.

“We haven’t seen anybody as good as (Schneider),” LHS coach Dirk Please see LIONS, page 3C

LIONS Who: Lawrence High (9-0) vs. SM North (3-6) When: 7 tonight Where: Lawrence High

FIREBIRDS Who: Free State (6-3) vs. Wichita West (5-4) When: 7 tonight Where: Free State High

Firebirds put streak on line in first round

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Opposing football teams have tried just about everything to slow down Free State High quarterback Bryce Torneden and running back Sam Skwarlo this season. Nothing has worked.

Torneden and Skwarlo have combined for a ferocious rushing attack, helping Free State to a six-game winning streak entering their matchup against Wichita West (5-4) at 7 tonight at

FSHS in the first round of the state playoffs.

Defenses might be able to limit one of them, but then the other always finds a way to step up. In all but one game this season, Torneden or Skwarlo has rushed for more than 100 yards. The lone exception was a 43-7 victory when they didn’t play in the fourth quarter.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

Cincinnati (ap) — Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes and played lead blocker in a near-perfect performance that kept the Bengals unbeaten.

Dalton connected with tight end Tyler Eifert for three scores and played the role of blocker on Mohamed Sanu’s reverse for a touchdown, setting up Cincinnati’s 31-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night.

The Bengals improved to 8-0 for the first time in franchise history, their longest winning streak within a season.

Coming off an emotional 16-10 victory in Pittsburgh on Sunday that gave them control of the AFC North, the Bengals dominated the Browns (2-7) and Johnny Manziel in the second half.

Manziel had some of his best moments in the opening half, which ended with Cincinnati up only 14-10. In the second half, the Browns managed only 32 yards and two first downs.

It was a night for the Bengals to show how far they’ve come in a year. And no one has improved more than Dalton, who had his worst showing — a 2.0 passer rating — during a 24-3 loss to the Browns during a Thursday night game at Paul Brown Stadium last November.

He threw touchdown passes of 9 and 2 yards to Eifert in the first half, the latter after a Browns penalty kept a drive alive. Dalton also played lead blocker on Sanu’s 25-yard TD reverse in the fourth quarter, a play that took the Browns by such surprise that there was nobody there for the quarterback to touch.

His 19-yarder to Eifert put Cincinnati in control and gave the tight end nine touchdown catches.

Dalton finished 21 of 27 for 234 yards with a passer rating of 139.8.

No. 2 Baylor 31, Kansas St. 24 Manhattan — Jarrett Stidham threw for 419 yards and three scores in his first start, Corey Coleman caught a pair of touchdown passes, and Baylor held on for a victory over pesky Kansas State on Thursday night to keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive.

Stidham, taking over for the injured Seth Russell, also ran for a touchdown to help the Bears (5-0 Big 12, No. 6 CFP) improve to 8-0 for only the second time in school history.

The freshman quarterback’s favorite target was Coleman, who caught 11 passes for 216 yards while pushing his nationleading total to 20 touchdown receptions.

Kansas State got to 31-24 on Joe Hubener’s touchdown pass to Deante Burton with 4:07 left, and Chris Callahan’s missed field goal with 51 seconds remaining gave the Wildcats a chance.

But on their first play, Hubener threw a lateral to wide receiver Cody Cook, who then threw down the sideline.

The sometimes-quarterback’s pass was picked off by Terrell Burt, who managed to get his right foot down inbounds, and the interception stood after an official’s review.

Baylor ran out the clock to drop Kansas State (3-5) to 0-5 in conference play for the first time since 1989, the first season for coach Bill Snyder on the sideline.

Hubener ran for 153 yards and two touchdowns, but he also was just 12 of 21 for 151 yards with an interception.

Charles Jones added 76 yards rushing for Kansas State.

The big question coming into the night was whether Baylor’s prolific offense, which

led the nation in yards and points, would keep humming along without Russell. The star quarterback broke a bone in his neck two weeks ago against Iowa State and had surgery last Friday.

Stidham was up to the task in his first start since last year’s Texas prep playoffs.

The 19-year-old from Stephenville completed his first three passes in leading Baylor on an 81-yard scoring drive to open the game. And after the Wildcats answered with a grinding, 88-yard march that took nearly 10 minutes, Stidham hit KD Cannon with a 55yard touchdown strike.

No. 24 Miss. St. 31, Missouri 13 Columbia, Mo. — Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes, and Mississippi State received 100-yard receiving games from De’Runnya Wilson and Fred Ross in a rain-soaked victory over Missouri.

The Bulldogs kicked it into gear after a heavy downpour stopped at halftime, turning a one-point game into a runaway

with a 17-point third quarter that included two of Prescott’s TD throws.

Wilson had two touchdown receptions and Ross and Fred Brown had one each for Mississippi State (7-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference), which has won four in a row to stay in contention in the SEC West.

The Bulldogs pulled away without left tackle Rufus Warren, who injured his left leg late in the first half.

Prescott became the 10th player in SEC history with 10,000 yards of total offense after entering the game needing just 65. He was 27 for 40 for 303 yards and led the Bulldogs in rushing with 47 yards on 14 carries.

Russell Hansbrough’s 14yard run late in the first half gave Missouri (4-5, 1-5) its first touchdown in four games. Kentrell Brothers forced a fumble and blocked a punt to set up a pair of field goals in the first half for the Tigers. They have lost four in a row for the first time since 2004.

Royals retain Davis, Escobar Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The World Series champion Kansas City Royals kept on shaping their roster for next season on Thursday, exercising an $8 million option on All-Star closer Wade Davis and $5.25 million option on All-Star shortstop Alcides Escobar.

The Royals also declined a $3 million option on outfielder Jonny Gomes, one day after learning All-Star outfielder Alex Gordon had declined his player option and choosing not to exercise options on aging outfielder Alex Rios and unproductive starter Jeremy Guthrie.

General manager Dayton Moore indicated Thursday the Royals are interested in signing Gordon and free agent Ben Zobrist.

“We’ll see what the market brings,” Moore said. “Obviously our goal is to bring back players that are most impactful to us, and you know, the players you mentioned have been a big part of

our success here. We’ll do everything we can to make sure we operate efficiently, first of all, and do the best we can to get them back. We’ll see what happens.”

There was no question that Davis and Escobar would be part of the 2016 team.

After a starring turn as a setup man, Davis took over as the closer when Greg Holland required Tommy John surgery.

He wound up saving four games in the playoffs, and recorded the final out in the 12th inning of Game 5 against the New York Mets to wrap up the World Series. Holland will likely miss all of next season, which means Davis — who has a $10 million option for 2017 with a $250,000 buyout — will go into spring training as the closer.

Escobar was MVP of the AL Championship Series, and proved to be a sparkplug when he returned to the top of the lineup late in the season.

He hit an inside-the-park

Wedd said. “This kid is outstanding. He’s got four receivers — not just one — he’s got four that could hurt us. We’re not a dominant secondary. We’re little and we’re young back there. That’s where people can expose us if we don’t play as a team.”

The Lions’ secondary has faced some solid passing teams this season, holding Blue Valley West and Shawnee Mission Northwest to just one touchdown pass each.

But the top-ranked Lions (9-0) learned their toughest lesson two weeks ago. Olathe North scored three touchdowns through the air in the fourth quarter and fought back from a 17-point deficit.

“Don’t get beat deep,” senior cornerback Ivan Hollins said of what he learned. “That’s all I’ve got for that one. We’ve learned a lot since then in the secondary and so we’ll be better the next time that situation comes.”

to be able to stop both of us,” Torneden said. “If one of us is playing bad, the other one has to step up even more.”

Torneden and Skwarlo both have their own running styles. Torneden, a North Dakota State commit, is shifty and can slip through the tiniest gaps. Skwarlo makes one cut and dares people to tackle him by lowering his shoulders through defenders. Both of them have elite speed once they run into the open field.

“I’d say his best attribute is definitely his agility,” Skwarlo said of his quarterback. “He can stop on a dime. He just breaks ankles.”

After playing against each other in middle school, Skwarlo and Torneden first teamed up in the backfield during their freshman year in 2012. In their first game together, they combined for four touchdowns in a freshman football game.

Last season, they were looking forward to reuniting in the varsity backfield, but it was short-lived when Skwarlo suffered a season-ending

While he hit just .257 with three homers and 47 RBIs, Escobar also played marvelous defense, and could win his first Gold Glove when the results are revealed next week.

The Royals have a team option worth $6.5 million with him for the 2017 season, too.

Along with the free agency of Zobrist, reliever Ryan Madson and starter Chris Young, the Royals have numerous other roster decisions to make.

Young players such as first baseman Eric Hos-

sophomore Dante’ Jackson at cornerback and juniors Cade Burghart and Santino Gee as safeties.

Gee became a starter at free safety in the middle of the season after injuries to senior Coulter Strauss and sophomore Jalen Dudley.

“It’s time to show the coaches what I can do and how hard I’ve worked for this,” Gee said.

Wedd stressed the Lions’ pass coverage is a team effort, needing a strong pass rush and solid coverage underneath on short throws by their linebackers to be successful.

But the Lions’ secondary knows it’s going to be challenged and is prepared to make plays.

“It’s a (defensive back’s) dream game,” Hollins said. “You know you’re going to get a lot of opportunities. It’s how you react to those.”

fered the injury following a 16-yard reception in the second quarter.

“That’s a big loss,” Wedd said. “He was starting to come on. He had a great game against Olathe North. He won the game for us. We’re banged up.

We’re playing with our third-string free safety and we’re now down to three or four wide receivers, and have to play some young kids there.”

Padia had four catches for 103 yards and two touchdowns this season.

But Skwarlo hasn’t missed a beat since returning to the field.

“I’m not surprised at all,” Torneden said. “I’ve seen that guy work on the field and up in the weight room. I’m not surprised.”

They’ve made up for lost time, leading Free State (6-3) to a district title. Skwarlo, who has scored in every game this season, has rushed for 1,153 yards and 16 touchdowns. Torneden is right behind him with 885 rushing yards and eight touchdowns.

Together, they’ve combined for one of the best one-two punches in the state, and, arguably, one of the best tandems in school history.

“They’re right up there with them,” FSHS coach Bob Lisher said. “We’ve had some pretty good 1-2 punches. (Camren) Torneden and (Chucky) Hunter. Torneden and (Kirk) Resseguie. On and on … we’ve had some good ones. They rank right up there at the top.”

At the beginning of the season, Skwarlo and Torneden played through an inexperienced offensive line. Once the line — Garrett Swisher, Chase Houk, Jay Dineen, Tanner Liba and Sam Hambleton

— started improving, it’s only made the Firebirds’ backfield more dangerous.

“They had to make a lot of yards early on their own,” Lisher said. “But our offensive line has got a lot better, which has made things a little easier on those two.”

Skwarlo, who had to watch last season from the sidelines, said he thought all offseason long about returning to the field for his senior season.

“I just kind of envisioned it and this is exactly how I saw it,” Skwarlo said with a smile. “But it’s not over yet.”

Graham dribbled quickly past halfcourt, then at 3/4 court launched a lob pass that was caught and flushed by Mickelson, who was storming in from the right wing.

“I got a good pass and I was able to go up and get it,” Mickelson said, adding of the highlight-reel plays, “they were fun. I enjoyed ’em.”

Mickelson finished with two of KU’s seven dunks and scored 10 points off 5-of-6 shooting with six rebounds and four blocks in just 13 minutes. He was asked if this was a mere continuation of his stellar play (8.4 ppg, 4.9 rpg) over the summer for KU’s gold-medal winning World University Games team.

“I think so,” he said.

“I’m still working on playing with a lot of energy and keeping the right mindset.”

Of his ability to run the floor gracefully for a guy 6-10, Mickelson said: “I’ve been used to running. I don’t mind running that much. I’m pretty good at it for a big guy. I can do it, so it’s not too tough.”

Mickelson wasn’t the only one of KU’s bigs to have a solid exhibition opener.

mer and third baseman Mike Moustakas are under club control, but arbitration will continue to make them more expensive, and put pressure on Moore to sign his cornerstones to long-term deals.

“Scouting and player development and growing our own players will always be our method of operation,” Moore said.

“Are we going to win the negotiations for the top guys? We’ll try. But we’re not going to put ourselves in a position where we operate in a way that’s reckless and puts us perhaps in a position where we can’t sign those young players to long-term contracts.”

That is especially important to remember in Gordon’s case. He’s been with the organization for more than a decade, a second overall draft pick who overcame “bust” status to become an All-Star and arguably the finest defensive outfielder in the game.

The challenge with him becomes separating

sentimentality from business.

“We don’t want to get caught up in, ‘A player has earned this or earned that.’ It doesn’t matter if you’ve been here four days or 40 years, you have to produce each and every day,” Moore said.

“You’re going to be compensated for what you’re going to do, not what you’ve done.”

The contract status of the Royals’ core players isn’t all that’s in limbo.

Moore and manager Ned Yost have contracts that expire after next season, making them “lame ducks” — though both said Thursday that they want to remain in Kansas City for years to come.

“I’m totally comfortable where it is right now,” Yost said. “That stuff all takes care of itself. We haven’t discussed it for a second. I love being here, Dayton loves being here, we love this group and we’re in a position where we feel like we can continue to win.”

Ellis scored 22 points off 8-of-12 shooting, while freshman forward Carlton Bragg netted 14 points off 7-of-12 shooting with six rebounds. Bragg had three dunks.

“Perry is doing what he’s always done,” Mickelson said. “Carlton is coming into his own playing like that. Both those guys playing like that definitely made me enjoy the game a lot more.”

Forward Jamari Traylor had nine points off 3-of-5 shooting with two steals, two assists and two boards in 16 minutes, while a fifth frontcourt player, Landen Lucas, who was battling an ankle sprain he suffered in practice Tuesday, had no points and two boards in eight minutes.

“Frank (Mason III), Devonté, Perry at the three, Carlton at the 4 and Hunter or Jamari at the 5 ... I think that would have been our best team tonight,” KU coach Bill Self said. “Hunter did fine. He blocked some shots. They got the ball in tight several times and didn’t come away with anything. I thought Hunter played pretty well.”

Mickelson said he’s been trying to assist Bragg and fellow 6-foot-9 newcomer Cheick Diallo at practice. Diallo has not yet been cleared by the NCAA to play in games, though he practices with the team.

“How to guard certain actions and how to do things on offense, stuff like that,” Mickelson said.

“Carlton played great. For his first outing in front of the crowd and fans ... he played well and with a lot of energy.”

The Jayhawks won by 23 points on a night they committed 15 turnovers and hit just four of 19 threes — 48.6 percent shooting overall to Pitt State’s 28.2 percent. KU won the board battle over the Div. II team, 55-45.

“The effort was good.

There’s a lot of stuff we have to iron out,” Mickelson said. “We were still a little rusty tonight.” l Giles to announce: Harry Giles, a 6-10 senior forward from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, will announce his college choice today during ESPN’s 11 a.m.

(Central time) edition of SportsCenter. Giles has a list of KU, Duke, Wake Forest and Kentucky with many speculating that the Winston-Salem native will join his buddy, Jayson Tatum, as a Duke Blue Devil.

Giles soon will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a partially torn ACL in his right knee, ESPN.com reported Thursday. He tore the ACL, MCL and meniscus in his left knee the summer between his freshman and soph years of high school.

of Strong’s staples in the first five weeks of the season but looked like the poster child for all of those traits in their upset of OU and dominant win over K-State.

Just as quickly as that showed up, however, it was gone. Asked if a team losing its identity that quickly after finding it was an indication that this UT team was mentally soft, Strong objected.

“I don’t think they’re soft at all,” he said. “You know, you have a group that (has) some toughness to them because that’s what this program will always be built on, just mental and physical toughness, and they have that.”

The players may but the fans might not. Especially with Texas basketball ushering in the exciting Shaka Smart era, it’s possible that, for the first time in a long, long time, fans of UT athletics will look to hoops to help them forget about their team’s struggles on the gridiron.

“I hope they don’t,” Strong said when asked if

he thought the fans might check out. “Because at the end of the day, the players need their support, and they need them there to cheer them on.

When the fans look at the number of losses, a lot of times it’s just human nature, you feel like, ‘I’ve got something else to do, why do I go watch them play.’ But we’ve still got games to be played and our fans have been unbelievable, and I feel like they will continue to support us and be there for us.”

Jefferson agreed and said the whole thing could be put back on track this weekend with a strong showing against the Jayhawks, who have not defeated Texas in the Big 12 era.

“The fans are going to show up,” Jefferson said.

“Everybody is going to be supporting us. A lot of people are really upset.

I’m sorry I don’t have an answer for you, but we’re just going to keep playing Texas football and try to get this team turned around.”

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Don’t wait for contact — reach out when needed Dear Annie: My 28-year-old son, “Jack,” was married six weeks ago. He and his bride have known each other since high school, so I thought I knew her pretty well.

Her parents paid for the majority of the wedding, and during the planning, I made myself available for any task that came my way, offering to take care of many odds and ends.

My three best friends gave the bride an elaborate shower at my home. My brother volunteered to become certified to perform the ceremony and they eagerly accepted.

It was a destination wedding, so we all had to set aside a few days for the event. My husband and I went there two days early to help set up and to assist

in any way possible without butting in too much.

Everything was going well until the day after the wedding, when the bride stopped all communication with me. Before then, she would call and text, and often ask to get together to do fun things. She even asked for my opinion.

Now, nothing.

I have never been a clingy mother to any of my sons, and I am

‘Master’ puts Aziz Ansari at the helm In the 24 hours since I filed my most recent column, I’ve read about network decisions to relaunch both “Star Trek” and “The Greatest American Hero.”

By the time I get done writing this one, perhaps somebody will decide to remake “Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp,” and my lifelong dream will be fulfilled.

With networks clamoring for the familiar, streaming services (and to some extent, HBO and FX) have taken on the role of innovator.

“Parks and Recreation” star Aziz Ansari gets his own comedy, “Master of None.” All 10 half-hour episodes are streaming on Netflix beginning today. Ansari plays Dev, a minimally employed actor coasting through life in a dreary hipster community, fretting about the minutiae of daily life (what to wear, eat or watch) while avoiding making any of the big decisions about career, marriage and parenthood.

Written and created by Ansari with Alan Yang, “Master” unfolds in a cinematic singlecamera style complete with flashbacks and fantasy scenes.

The first episode begins with Dev and a casual sexual pickup agonizing over a broken condom in the most intimate and uncomfortable ways imaginable. Later, Dev is overwhelmed by the demands of baby-sitting for a friend’s two small children as they display terrible control over their language and bodily functions in public settings — behavior not terribly different than that of Dev and his contemporaries. “Master” aspires to the world-weary humor of “Louie,” but without that series’ cerebral firepower.

“Restoration Wild” (8 p.m., Animal Planet) follows designer Jay Chaikin and his crew as they restore old barns, reclaim fallow rustic remnants and turn them into sanctuaries for wildlife. In every episode, Chaikin will build and rebuild sites that must blend into the scenery and appear to have been there for hundreds of years.

Tonight’s other highlights

A double-Dutch contest has some at the end of their rope on “The Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG).

The juveniles are asked to julienne their carrots as a new season of “Master Chef” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14) invites twodozen junior cooks to compete.

Rachel Maddow hosts the “First in the South Democratic Candidates Forum” (7 p.m., MSNBC).

Nick acts to protect Adalind and his child on “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

Jimmy Kimmel pitches an idea on “Shark Tank” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

Terry Crews hosts the comedy showcase “World’s Funniest” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

baffled by this. Am I wrong to think she should have called a few days after the wedding to thank us for everything we did and maybe ask if we had a good time? I don’t expect a reward for our help, but what happened to common courtesy? Maybe a little show of appreciation? I’ve seen my son a couple of times since the wedding, though there has been no mention of the estrangement.

What did I do to turn her against me like that? — Hurt Motherin-Law Dear Hurt: First of all, both the bride and groom should have thanked you for your help, but not all couples think this is necessary. Many assume that helping (and paying) is the parents’

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Nov. 6: This year you seem to empower yourself through your thoughts.

Others might be stunned, but you understand the power of positive thinking. If you are single, you attract quite an array of personalities. If you are attached, the two of you make and realize important plans for your relationship.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You could wake up to some intense emotions. Take a walk, preferably by a body of water. Tonight: Don’t push yourself too hard!

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You still might be in dream land as you get your morning started. Tonight: Let your imagination rock and roll.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You could be in a situation that is creating a lot of tension — most likely because you feel obligated. Tonight: At home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might be having a difficult time reading someone else. Let this go for now. Tonight: Catch up on a loved one’s news.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Use caution with any money matters. You are best off postponing conversations for a few days. Tonight: Treat a pal to TGIF. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Step out of your old

responsibility and requires no expression of appreciation. They are wrong, but we hope you will let that go.
