Within the next year, all 21 construction projects in the Lawrence school district funded by the 2013 bond issue will be complete. But before those last construction crews pack up, more improvements for the district’s secondary schools will be in the pipeline.

Two days before his infant stepdaughter was found in an apartment complex’s trash, Marquis Young was sentenced to six months of probation for battering the baby’s mother, his wife.

Now, the infant is out of the hospital and in the state’s custody while Young is accused of attempted murder.

Currently held in a nearby jail, Young, 27, of Lawrence, will face felony attempted firstdegree murder and child abuse charges, police say.

The upcoming felony charges will not be Young’s first.

A review of his criminal history shows multiple Young offenses involving physical violence and destructive behavior.

ROBERT DILLON BROWN A longtime resident of Lawrence and emeritus member of the Department of Mathematics faculty at the University of Kansas, Robert Dillon Brown (known as Bob to most of his friends), died on vacation with his wife and one granddaughter in Charleston, South Carolina, on July 23, 2016.

Bob was born November 26, 1933 in the small town of Paris, Arkansas.

He was the first of two sons had by Robert Marion Brown and Margaret Marie Brown (neé Dillon) and moved with his parents to San Carlos, California in 1941, when he was seven years old. Bob graduated from Sequoia High School in Redwood City, California in 1951 and subsequently attended the University of California, Berkeley.

Originally intending to be an architect, he received his B.A. in mathematics in 1955, becoming the first person in his family to graduate from a four­year college.

At Berkeley, Bob was a member of the Theta Chi fraternity and completed four years of R.O.T.C. training.

From 1955 to 1957, he served in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, stationed in Virginia and then Japan, where he supervised the construction of runways and roads.

Bob then returned to the University of California, Berkeley, completing his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1963.

With job offers from U.C.L.A. and the University of Kansas, Bob chose the latter, largely because of the chance to work with a prominent, specialized research group run by Professor Nachman Aronszajn and funded by the Office of Naval Research.

Bob subsequently spent the entirety of his career at the University of Kansas, teaching there for 46 years – from 1963 until his retirement in 2009 (with one academic year on sabbatical, 1972­1973, as a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow in Scotland). Eventually reaching the rank of full professor in 1988, Bob served as Associate Chairman of the Department of Mathematics for 22 years (1979­2001).

Especially devoted to pedagogy, he received numerous teaching awards, including the math department’s Graduate Student Association Teaching Award (in 1972, 1978, 1987, and 1994), the Mortar Board Distinguished Educator Award (1982), the University of Kansas Center for Teaching Excellence Award (2004), the Max Wells Teaching Award (2005), and the university­wide Chancellor’s Club Career Teaching Award (2000).

A few years after moving to Lawrence, Bob met Sharon Ruth Burton, who was a schoolteacher in her hometown, Kansas

City, Kansas, at the time and subsequently worked for the Lawrence Unified School District for 24 years. They married in 1968 and raised two sons in Lawrence: Bill Brown, currently a resident of Olathe, Kansas and the of Tom broker/owner Jones Realtors; and Jeffrey Dillon Brown, who lives in St. Louis, Missouri and is an associate professor of English at Washington University in St. Louis.

Bill and his wife, Allison Brown, have three daughters – Kylee, Kalista, and Kolby Brown – while Jeff and his wife, Jessica Rosenfeld, have two daughters – Samantha and – Alexandra Brown making a total of five granddaughters upon whom Bob assiduously doted in his later years.

Bob was particularly close with his younger brother, John Richard (Rick) Brown, who preceded him in death in 2009. Rick’s daughter, Marnie, lives in Redlands, California with her husband, Bryce Ryan, and their two daughters, Annabelle and Adeline.

An accomplished cook, expert gardener, enthusiastic traveller, and revered grandfather, Bob devoted much of his time after retirement to these passions, as well as performing service for Meals on Wheels and the Endacott Society, among others. He will be fondly remembered by family, friends, and colleagues as a kind, patient, compassionate, and quietly joyful bon vivant.

The family will greet friends on Friday, August 5, 2016, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Warren­ McElwain Mortuary, 120 W. 13th Street. There will also be a Celebration of Life at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 20, 2016, at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts Street, which all are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to Meals on Wheels, which can be sent to the mortuary, or contributions toward the R.D.

SUNDAY CROSSWORD SOLUTION FOR JULY 31

l On Nov. 3, 2010, Young was arrested in Johnson County on suspicion of domestic battery and criminal damage. He was accused of causing “bodily harm” or “physical contact” with a person he shared a home with in Olathe. He was also accused of damaging a phone, valued at less than $1,000.

Two months later, Young pleaded guilty to battery; prosecutors agreed to drop the domestic battery and criminal damage charges. That day he was sentenced to a year of probation. l Young was arrested again in Johnson County on July 19, 2012, this time on suspicion of felony interference with law enforcement. Nearly two months later he pleaded guilty to felony obstruction and was sentenced to another year of probation. l Once more, Young was arrested on May 7, 2013, on suspicion of felony aggravated kidnapping and aggravated battery.

He was accused of confining a woman by “force, threat or deception” and inflicting “bodily harm” with a deadly weapon.”

Young pleaded guilty to felony aggravated battery; prosecutors dropped the aggravated kidnapping charge. The conviction was considered a violation of his probation regarding the felony obstruction conviction. He was sentenced to serve more than a year in jail

L awrence J ournal -W orld

for the offenses.

Young was released from prison in the summer of 2015, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.

He was arrested in Douglas County this spring.

On Feb. 4, 2016, the infant’s mother, Sheena Young — then Sheena Hale — married Marquis Young, according to court documents filed in Douglas County District Court.

Marquis Young was arrested less than two weeks after the marriage for battering his new wife, court documents say. He pleaded guilty to the crime and on July 5 he was sentenced to six months of probation, which included the completion of Veterans Affairs classes on anger control and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Two days later Marquis Young’s 9-month-old stepdaughter was found in a trash receptacle at an apartment complex in the 2500 block of West Sixth Street.

Police did not say exactly where the baby girl was found, though multiple complex residents said they share a centralized dumpster that also compacts trash.

The infant, who suffered life-threatening injuries, was treated at a Kansas City-area hospital and released nearly two weeks later.

Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said the infant is in the state’s custody and will continue to receive outpatient treatment for her injuries.

Now, with Marquis Young’s pending charges

in Douglas County and two recent arrests, prosecutors are claiming he violated the terms of his probation regarding his most recent battery conviction.

On July 13, both Marquis and Sheena Young were arrested in Jefferson County on suspicion of disorderly conduct at Perry Lake.

The couple were accused of arguing and being disorderly after being warned by deputies to “straighten up,” said Jefferson County Sheriff Jeffrey Herrig.

Both Marquis and Sheena Young were released from Jefferson County Jail after each posted a $3,000 bond.

Ten days later, Marquis Young was arrested once more. He is accused of battering Sheena Young on July 22 in Lenexa, according to a criminal complaint filed in Johnson County District Court. He is currently held in the Johnson County Jail.

Douglas County District Attorney representatives could not immediately say when Marquis Young would be transferred to Lawrence to face the felony charges.

Marquis Young is next scheduled to appear in Johnson County District Court regarding the domestic battery charge at 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 10.

Police say they have no information to believe anyone else was involved in the incident regarding the 9-month-old girl.

Hayden said the LHS campus was paid particular attention to in the assessment and master planning process.

“It’s really a full assessment of the current space, and then what types of spaces we will need to have to meet our current technical education needs, our special education needs, all the extracurricular activities that need to occur,” Hayden said.

Board leaders agree that the LHS campus is in need of widespread improvements.

“Lawrence High is going to be the primary focus; we really have a lot of work that we need to do there to get it up to par with the work that we’ve been doing as part of the bond construction,” said school board President Marcel Harmon.

As part of the school board’s upcoming goalsetting session, the board will begin discussion on a future bond election to fund renovations to the secondary schools.

Hayden said the potential improvement to the

secondary schools would also include classroom additions to all six schools to account for enrollment growth in the district.

The student population districtwide has been on the rise since 2007. Enrollment in the district rose last year by about 250 students, and numbers are projected to increase by as much as 150 students next school year, according to district projections.

The secondary improvements wouldn’t have to mean an increase in taxes for Lawrence property owners. The district’s bond and interest property tax rate has been falling for several years, and was part of the reason the district was able to decrease its property tax rate by 3.165 mills as part of the upcoming school year’s budget.

Because of that drop, Hayden estimated that the district could issue about $40 million to $45 million of bonds without raising property taxes.

“Once we identify needs and assign an estimated cost to what those needs are for various schools, we’re going to have to look at (property taxes),” Harmon said. “We do have some room to pass a bond without raising the mill levy, we have some room there to work with, which is great.”

The board’s goal-setting session will take place from 4 to 6:45 p.m. Aug. 8 at district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

Bicycle group raises concerns about K-10, Kasold intersection

CHILDREN’S LIBRARIAN JENNIFER COOK LAUGHS as she and 7-year-old Davian Copeland, of Lawrence, talk shop concerning dragon tales and other books in the children’s fantasy genre on Friday at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. An item on the upcoming city budget that has drawn plenty of interest is the option to increase the pay of library staff. The City Commission has suggested raising the mill levy to fund the raises.

City Commission to face final issues in budget, give approval

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @LJWorld

The Lawrence City Commission will give its first round of approval Tuesday to a 2017 budget, but whether it will include cuts to some staff, projects and services is unknown.

That’s up to commissioners to decide — after they hear from community members during a public hearing on the budget Tuesday and before they’re asked to pass a budget later that night.

City Manager Tom Markus, who arrived in Lawrence in March, recommended a budget totaling $191 million with no increase in how much the city levies in property taxes.

Among other things, Markus proposed the elimination of one parttime staff position and nine full-time positions, reductions in an employee longevity program and contributions to employee retirement. The budget also doesn’t meet some requests from city

“

When I look at this current budget, I do not see my priorities reflected. I may be in the minority in that, but I want that to be known.”

— Matthew Herbert,

city commissioner

departments and outside entities, such as the Lawrence Public Library and Lawrence Arts Center.

On July 19, commissioners voted the maximum they would consider spending in the 2017 budget would be $480,000 more than Markus’ recommendation in order to fill some of those cuts. The increase would come from a rise in mill levy. The highest mill levy commissioners said they would consider is 32.018 mills, an increase of 0.53 mill from 2016.

Now, commissioners will determine whether they want to increase the mill levy to fill some of the cuts; keep the levy steady and make the cuts; or propose no increase to mill levy but defund other services to fill some of the cuts Markus recommended.

Here’s a look at some of the issues commissioners will face Tuesday:

Lawrence Public Library The library’s final request for 2017 was $3.95 million, $200,000 more

than it received in 2016.

If granted, the increase would go toward staff salary increases. Library employees are currently “grossly, chronically underpaid,” Board of Trustees Chair David Vance has said.

Markus’ recommendation called for a slight increase to the library’s budget — approximately $26,000.

Mayor Mike Amyx has noted that the library at least received a slight increase in Markus’ recommendations, while other departments and organizations received level funding from 2016 or less.

“We cannot fund everything,” Amyx said at the commission’s July 19 meeting. “They did not lose money from a year ago. There’s more money there; a small amount, but it’s there.”

The City Commission voted July 19 that they would consider a 0.282 mill increase, generating $255,195 more from taxpayers to fulfill the rest

Access concerns have again been raised regarding the Kansas Department of Transportation’s plans for the Kansas Highway 10 intersection at Kasold Drive and East 1200 Road.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Bicycle Advisory Committee is asking the city of Lawrence and Douglas County to work with KDOT to provide a safe bicycle crossing at the intersection. The letter from the committee to the Lawrence and Douglas County commissions states the committee is “extremely concerned” about the safety of bicyclists at the intersection and ask for a safe route through or around it. “It is a heavily used cycling corridor that cannot be ignored. Cyclists will go through the intersection regardless of what improvements are constructed.”

Consideration of the letter is on Wednesday’s Douglas County Commission agenda.

The committee’s letter provides no suggestions about how bicycles could safely cross K-10, but does refer to a possible route around it, which was shared in a KDOT fact sheet provided at one of the open houses the agency hosted regarding possible changes to the intersection. That route would preserve bike connectivity with a path under Yankee Tank Creek bridge. The bridge spans

K-10 just to the east of the intersection.

In June, KDOT ended a four-month review of the possible changes at the intersection, which is about a mile west of the K-10/US Highway 59 interchange, with the announcement it would be converted to a rightin, right-out configuration. The change would involve installation of flexible horizontal markers between K-10’s eastbound and westbound lanes at the intersection to prevent vehicles from crossing the center line.

KDOT is to make the changes at the intersection before the South Lawrence Trafficway opens this fall. The opening of the four-lane section east of U.S. Highway 59 is expected to increase the number of vehicles on K-10 at the Kasold Drive/ East 1200 Road intersection from 8,100 vehicles a day to 16,800.

Four options were studied during KDOT’s review of the intersection. The other options were to leave the intersection unchanged, install a traffic signal at the site and to close all access to and from Kasold Drive and East 1200 Road.

KDOT selected the right-in, right-out solution despite the traffic signal option being the most popular from public comment and among Lawrence and Douglas County commissioners.

of the library’s request.

Commissioners voted to consider it only after hearing from an attorney saying the authority to raise the mill levy to fund the library actually rested with the library’s board of directors — not the City Commission.

Lawrence ordinance states the City Commission “shall annually levy a tax” for the library “in such sum as the Library Board shall determine.”

Lawrence attorney Terence Leibold showed commissioners the ordinance July 19, saying the City Commission’s role was to “take the amount the board has determined and set the mill levy.”

“The city of Lawrence hasn’t followed the statute for a very long time,” Leibold said. “The board has remained silent about pressing this issue because it wants to get along with the city. I think it’s time that it no longer be ignored.”

Vice Mayor Leslie Soden said the comment pushed commissioners into including the full increase while setting its maximum budget and mill levy July 19. She said commissioners would hear Tuesday an opinion from the city attorney on whether the ordinance gives the library board the authority to set its funding amount.

“It was just best to go ahead and include that, not knowing how it was going to play out,” Soden said. “I’ll be curious to see what our legal staff thinks about that, and we’ll go from there.”

Markus did not weigh in immediately on the ordinance. He said later in the meeting that the library should consider charging fees for services such as the library’s recording studio, which is currently free to use.

“They should look at those things before they come back with next year’s budget,” Markus said. “It’s not going to abate all the need for an increase, but there’s something there additionally. It’s a very specialized, unique service.”

The arts At the commission’s last meeting July 19, half a dozen people lined up outside City Hall flashing signs reading “art makes a difference” and “Keep Lawrence remarkable, yes to arts and culture.”

Dozens of people wrote into the city after Markus’ recommended budget was released, contesting cuts to the Lawrence Arts Center and the elimination of the city’s director of arts and culture, as well as the omission of the East Ninth Project.

In response, commissioners said they’d consider raising the mill levy by 0.117 to maintain the arts and culture director at a cost of $105,697.

Commissioners have not made a move in response to the recommendation to fill only $55,000 of a $156,343 request from the arts center for facility improvements. City staff determined, under their lease agreement, the city is responsible for only major maintenance to the arts center. Besides the $55,000, Markus recommended the arts center get $30,000 for scholarships — the same as in 2016 but $30,000 less than what was requested for 2017. Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard has noted the city also pays utility bills for the Arts Center and contributes about $200,000 annually for the building’s debt payments.

There also has not been a formal decision on whether funding for the East Ninth Street arts corridor would be included in the 2017 budget.

Commissioners did not balk when Markus suggested July 19 that they discuss alterations to the project’s design over the next year and make a recommendation to fund it in 2018.

“Once we have a better idea of what a realistic estimate is, we can start to work that back into the discussion of the 2018 budget,” Markus said at the time. “Part of the concern I have with that project is the consternation with it, without any real conclusion from this commission in terms of where we really want to go with it. We need to spend some time over the next year resolving that issue.”

Tax liens

The Douglas County sheriff holds a public auction of foreclosed property

Several liens have been filed but were not available this week for the public.

The idea came up at a meeting earlier this month to fund the East Ninth Project in place of the project to rebuilt Queens Road in northwest Lawrence. Funding for the Queens Road improvements is scheduled to be granted in 2018.

Commissioner Matthew Herbert has been vocal about his discontent with the recommendations, saying the proposed budget — specifically the cuts to anything arts related — would “erode the qualities that make our city great.”

“When I look at this current budget, I do not see my priorities reflected,” Herbert said. “I may be in the minority in that, but I want that to be known.”

of Local Government Auditors wrote commissioners asking that it be maintained.

“An independent local auditing function… plays a key role in effective governance and public accountability,” reads the letter, signed by the organization’s president David Givans. “It provides assurance to citizens and elected officials that scarce resources are protected by strong management controls and practices.”

Commissioners said they’d consider a mill levy increase to generate $124,600 to maintain the position.

Some commissioners expressed doubt at the July 19 meeting whether they’d keep the position on the payroll, and if the duties would remain the same, if so.

Commissioner Lisa Larsen said if the auditor makes the cut, she’d like to review the work of current City Auditor Michael Eglinski to ensure he’s meeting job requirements.

“I think it is also a good time to look at whether the job duties are really being completed to the degree we need for them to be completed, as well as the quantity,” Larsen said at the time. “We need to pay closer attention to that and come up with better guidelines for what we want him to do if this position stays with us. If — that’s an if.”

Soden said she sees the position as more of a “need” than a “want.” But

Longevity program Amyx and Soden have voiced their desire to keep steady a longevity program for city employees.

Markus recommended reducing the program by 16.6 percent in 2017 for current employees and discontinuing it for new ones. The savings would total about $87,000, according to Markus’ proposed budget.

Under the current program, the city provides those employees who have been with the city more than five years $48 for each year of service.

Markus’ recommendation would cut the payment to $40 per year of service.

“It’s something I believe in and support,” Amyx has said.

To maintain funding for the program, commissioners are considering a mill increase of 0.063 mill.

Besides hearing at meetings from a handful of people against the cut, the national Association

Kansas taking steps for certification at Osawatomie hospital

Kansas has taken steps to ask the federal government to certify part of its state mental hospital in Osawatomie.

The state Department of Aging and Disability Service is seeking certification of 60 of the 206 beds at Osawatomie State Hospital, southwest of Kansas City.

Hays police investigate man’s death Authorities in western Kansas are investigating after a man apparently suffered fatal injuries in a fight.

The Hays Police Department says it received a report of a possible disturbance late Saturday and when officers arrived they found an unresponsive male who appeared to have been involved in a fight.

Hays Post reports that the man was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. The name of the victim hasn’t been released.

Police arrested a 25-year-old man at the scene on charges relating to the fight. The investigation is ongoing. she would like to make cuts elsewhere in the budget to fund the position — not increase taxes to do so.

“Not raising taxes is really important to me,” Soden said Friday. “I’ve been doing my best the past couple weeks to dig up anything I can so we don’t have to.”

Finding funds To fill some of the cuts, commissioners could decide to raise the mill levy, find cuts in other areas, or take from the city’s reserves.

Markus and Finance Director Bryan Kidney have warned commissioners against using reserve funds, which serve as a cushion and affect the city’s bond rating.

Dipping into reserves would create a “structural imbalance” in the budget, Markus has said.

Most commissioners have said they did not want to include a mill levy increase for 2017, or only a “modest” one.

Soden — who wants to maintain the city auditor and arts and culture positions, as well as the longevity program — is looking for other ways to trim the current budget to avoid a tax increase.

She said one option would be to limit funding next year to combat the ongoing emerald ash borer infestation. She’s also considering omitting or delaying some capital improvement projects, including $500,000 worth of improvements to facilities at Eagle Bend Golf Course.

“The reality is that we’ve got more students and no more money coming in, and so we have to figure out how to manage that,” said school board Vice President Shannon Kimball.

Combined with staff reductions made as part of last school year’s budget, 31 full-time teaching positions in the district have been eliminated in the past two years. Meanwhile, the overall enrollment in the district is increasing by hundreds per year.

Rising number of students Enrollment in the district rose last year by about 250 students, and numbers are projected to increase by as much as 150 students next school year, according to district projections.

Enrollment growth has hurt the district’s budgets since the Legislature made changes to the school finance formula last year.

Because school aid under the state’s temporary block grant system — in place for the previous and upcoming school years — is not calculated on a per-pupil basis as before, school districts do not automatically receive additional funds when enrollment increases.

Kimball said though the school board didn’t specifically discuss how reductions would affect class size in past board meetings, the impact was an implicit part of the budget conversation.

“I know that when we’re talking about having to make the budget balance because there’s no more money and we have more students, that means that somewhere our class sizes are going up,” Kimball said. “We can’t hire more teachers because we don’t have more money.”

The 17 teacher positions that will not be filled for the 2016-2017 school year consist of eight elementary, four middle school and five high school teachers. One districtwide nursing position was also not filled.

Fourteen of those staff reductions were positions that were not filled after being vacated by either resignation or retirement, and the remaining

Nosy school administrators have a point Dear Annie: My 10-year-old’s school administrators are overthe-top nosy and won’t stay out of our business.

I think they mean well, but at times, they try to micromanage the care of our child. For example, his favorite pair of shoes are falling apart, and although he has new shoes, he prefers the old ones.

The school sent home a pair of shoes, as if we couldn’t afford to buy any. It seemed insulting and passive-aggressive.

Also, our son recently had a cut that became infected. The school nurse spotted the beginning of the infection, so we are grateful for that, though we were watching it closely, too. We took him in immediately and began treatment.

The school sent home notes about where we could take him in case we could not afford a doctor. (We can and

MTV Classic flashes back to the ‘80s Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be! Today, VH1 Classic has been renamed and rebranded as MTV Classic. Things kick off (5 a.m.) with a rebroadcast of the first hour of MTV, from way back on August 1, 1981.

Much of MTV Classic is dedicated to the 1990s, the era when MTV moved away from music videos and began broadcasting “Beavis & Butt-Head,” “Daria” and “The Real World.” l The “POV” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) documentary “Iris” is that rarest of viewing opportunities, one legend’s look at another.

Words like “legend” and “icon” get thrown around very casually today. “Iris” is among the last works by Albert Maysles, whose half-century body of work includes such iconic documentaries as “Salesman,” “Gimme Shelter” and “Grey Gardens,” films made in collaboration with his brother David (1931-87). Albert died on March 5, 2015. He was 88.

Seen once, Iris Apfel, now 94, is nobody you’re likely to forget. Her face framed in oversized sunglasses, she wears mismatched prints that only she could pull together, accessorized by jangling necklaces, bracelets and beads, mixing and matching dime store and Dior, priceless brooches and bric-abrac.

Apfel has been making a visual statement for most of her life.

Working at a clothing emporium when she was just a teen, the owner pulled her aside and told her that she would never be beautiful, but that she had style, and that style was far more important.

She is seen shopping here in a wheelchair at a Harlem boutique and decrying the sameness of contemporary society, a lack of individuality that she “hates.” She prefers the store’s bright African patterns to the downtown “uniform” of allblack clothing.

Far from the mindless shopaholic culture extolled on so many cable networks, Apfel brings a lifetime’s sensibility to her acquisitions. She and her husband founded the fabric design company Old World Weavers back in 1950. They faithfully re-created patterns from the 17th and 18th century.

Their work can still be found in the homes of the discerning, says Margaret Russell, a former editor-in-chief for Architectural Digest.

Tonight’s other highlights Oklahoma City hosts “American Ninja Warrior” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG). l The top eight perform on “So You Think You Can Dance” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14). l The CW introduces “Supergirl” (7 p.m. and 8 p.m., TVPG) to its schedule. l

conclusions. I guarantee that the administrators were just trying to help.

Your son really shouldn’t wear shoes that are disintegrating — no matter what he ‘‘prefers.’’ A 10-year-old might prefer to eat pizza rolls three meals a day and play Xbox all night; that doesn’t mean you let him.

Dear Annie: My brother-in-law keeps borrowing money, and my husband just can’t say no to his big brother.

Larry, my brotherin-law, seems to have a new career every year.

This year, he’s trying to get his real estate license. Last year, he started an online store, which never took off. In the past, he’s tried photography and painting.

It’s hard to watch him fail, and I would feel sorry for him if I weren’t so ticked off that he’s flushed thousands of our

More needed State officials need to work with federal officials to recertify additional beds at Osawatomie State Hospital.

A

n audit report released last week indicates Kansas is taking some steps to improve conditions at its mental hospital in Osawatomie, but it still has a long way to go.

The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services decertified Osawatomie in December, making the facility ineligible for federal reimbursements for care provided at the hospital — a loss to the state of about $1 million a month.

Federal funds were cut off after CMS documented a number of deficiencies in the hospital’s staffing and procedures that compromised care and safety at the facility. Among the incidents that drew CMS attention was the reported rape of a hospital employee by a patient.

Last week, Tim Keck, interim secretary of the state Department for Aging and Disability Services told state legislators that the department would apply “very, very, very soon” for recertification of 60 of the 206 beds at Osawatomie. If the renovation of the 60-bed unit satisfies federal officials, about $400,000 a month in federal funds may be restored.

As noted above, that’s a step in the right direction, but Keck already seemed to be making excuses for why more progress hasn’t been — and might not be — made. He said the state hadn’t yet decided whether to seek recertification of additional beds because it was unclear what it would take to pass muster with CMS. “We’ll have to see after we get through this part of it,” he said. “Part of it is how reasonable we’re treated by CMS when they come in to do recertification.”

CMS is not being unreasonable when it demands that Osawatomie provide facilities and staffing that ensure proper treatment and safety for patients and staff. Federal officials first threatened to cut off Medicare funds in November 2014, when the hospital was 25 percent over its approved capacity. Renovations were demanded in July 2015, but it wasn’t until December 2015 that funding finally was canceled. The hospital was given time and opportunities to address deficiencies before it was decertified.

Osawatomie is one of just two state hospitals that treat patients with serious mental illness. The services it provides are vital to patients and their families and contribute to public safety across the state. The reduction in beds during its renovations has placed even more pressure on already stressed mental health facilities.

It’s clear that Osawatomie had dug a pretty deep hole for itself before federal funds were cut off. Additional funding approved by the Legislature is helping officials dig out of that hole, but much work remains to be done.

Russian hacking takes center stage Aspen, Colo. — For many decades, Russian intelligence agencies have used what they call “active measures” to destabilize their rivals. Now they seem to be turning those tools on the U.S. political system, though in the process they appear to have violated Rule No. 1 of the spy business: Don’t get caught.

U.S. officials say they have strong evidence that Russian intelligence agencies hacked the files of the Democratic National Committee over the last year.

What’s less certain is whether they deliberately leaked some of those files to WikiLeaks, with the aim of disrupting Hillary Clinton’s election campaign — though some experts think this “weaponization” of information was likely.

“Anything’s possible,” President Obama told Savannah Guthrie of NBC “Today” when asked Wednesday whether Russia might have deliberately tried to influence the U.S. election.

David Ignatius

What worries U.S. officials most is that given Russia’s demonstrated willingness to use covert-action against its adversaries, the Russians might secretly intervene just before the November election.”

“What we do know is that Russians hack our systems,” he said, adding that “on a regular basis they try to influence elections in Europe.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin grew up in a KGB culture in which such use of active measures was a standard tool of the Cold War. He seems to have carried this tradecraft into the Kremlin — employing hacking, black propaganda and other covert-action tools as part of what’s politely described these days as “hybrid warfare.”

U.S. officials say that Russian intelligence in recent years has secretly funded right-wing political parties in Europe, sponsored covert propaganda channels, hacked the electrical grid of Ukraine and cyber-sabotaged other neighboring states, and created networks of “trolls” to attack enemies online.

Why does Putin use these active measures to destabilize his rivals? Because they work. They’re invisible, deniable and, for the most part, the targets don’t fight back.

But the DNC hack may have been a bridge too far. It triggered blunt responses last week from top national security officials who were gathered here for an annual conference known as the Aspen Security Forum.

When the U.S. discovers evidence of foreign hacking, it should “be public about it,” urged John Carlin, the assistant attorney general for national security. “Take it out of the intelligence channel ... that’s the only way to change behavior,” he argued. James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, said he wasn’t yet ready to identify the perpetrator of the DNC hack, but he said that from an intelligence standpoint, the U.S. is already “at war” with Russia.

“The Russians have for years had a doctrine of ... active measures,” explained Elissa Slotkin, acting assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs. She said the Kremlin’s tactics attempt “to sow dissent generally, either on a specific issue or just to cause political chaos ... in order to create an opening for themselves.”

What worries U.S. officials most is that given Russia’s demonstrated willingness to use covert-action against its adversaries, the Russians might secretly intervene just before the November election. That might mean releasing embarrassing Hillary Clinton emails, as GOP nominee Donald Trump has urged Moscow to do. It might mean leaking phony news stories, or finding ways to upset financial markets. The American political system is an open

and vulnerable target.

Why would Russia target the DNC, in an operation that’s eerily similar to the Nixon White House’s 1972 burglary at the committee’s headquarters at the Watergate? Partly, it was an information-gathering operation, like the reported Chinese intelligence hacks of the campaigns of Barack Obama and John McCain in 2008.

But Moscow may have had a special animus toward Hillary Clinton.

When she was secretary of state, she endorsed Russian dissenters in the 2011 and 2012 elections. A furious Putin charged back then that she “gave them a signal,” and that the dissidents, “with the support of the U.S. State Department, began active work.” In other words, Putin thinks Clinton shot first.

The DNC noticed a problem in its computer system in April and hired a forensic firm called CrowdStrike to analyze the evidence. The firm concluded in May that two internet addresses linked to Russian intelligence had been inside the DNC systems.

How did the DNC information get to Wikileaks? A supposed Romanian hacker who calls himself Guccifer 2.0 claimed credit. But some experts believe this is what’s known in intelligence parlance as a “false flag” aimed at masking the Russian hand.

And what about GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump? Some have argued that he was the intended beneficiary of Moscow’s DNC hack. But it seems more likely that Trump is what Russian intelligence officers sometimes describe as a “useful idiot” — a person who unintentionally fosters Moscow’s campaign of instability.

Universities face uncertainty

By Gene A. Budig and Alan Heaps

In a matter of weeks — yes, weeks — our colleges and universities will be in full swing for the 2016-17 school year.

And what can we expect? A survey of 12 college presidents and a review of the literature give us pretty clear insights. If pushed to define the upcoming academic year in a single word, the word would be “uncertainty.”

The high visibility issues of the last several years — college costs, race, sexual assault, Division 1 sports, poor graduation rates — will not only continue to receive attention but be magnified. Students, faculty, Budig administrators, the public, the press and policymakers have homed in on these important and unresolved matters.

The volatile economy will continue to introduce unpredictable, and possibly significant, ups and downs. State budgets, individual giving and foun- Heaps dation and corporate support are as unpredictable as the stock market.

The upcoming presidential election creates massive uncertainty. The candidates, polarized on most major issues, have undefined views of higher education and its role in the 21st century. It is difficult to predict what path the federal government will forge in the next four years.

Technology continues to be a potential major force in colleges and universities but the future of online courses, online degrees and MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) is a drama that has yet to be played out. Given ongoing technological advances, it is unlikely that this will ever reach a point of stasis.

Accountability — how best to measure institutional success — and student outcomes — what we should be teaching — will remain a major issue, but resolution will take time and compromise from all

parties involved.

Campus violence and the decision by some institutions to allow concealed weapons mirror the national debate on crime and gun control.

The elite and rich colleges will remain elite and rich. Acceptance rates at the most competitive schools continue to drop while their endowments continue to grow. A number of schools are now accepting less than 10 percent, and there are at least ten colleges that have endowments of $10 billion or more.

Different kinds of colleges and universities will face different kinds of challenges.

Higher education is a widely diverse set of institutions made up of almost 5,000 schools: public and private, two- and fouryear, selective and non-selective, urban and rural, big and small, rich and poor, liberal arts and professional, old and new.

Leadership in higher education is getting older and a new generation will soon take over the reins. Where these new leaders will come from, and their skills and emphases, has yet to be determined.

Much-needed partnerships with two other critical segments of society, business and K-12 education, will continue to receive emphasis but progress will be slow. Like higher education, these two segments are diverse and disorganized.

New models of colleges and universities — such as blended education, co-op programs, and shorter time to bachelor’s degrees — will continue to be explored, but demand for these changes is still weak.

Uncertainty brings opportunity and those with whom we spoke are cautiously optimistic. Reasonable solutions to the problems exist. The stage is set for great improvement, but it will require good will, compromise and cooperation not only within higher education but also with the many parties who have a major stake in America’s future. Ultimately, success will require that we overcome the partisan divisions that divide us on so many other issues.

— Gene Budig is past president/chancellor of three major state universities, including Kansas Unviersity, and Baseball’s American League. Alan Heaps is a former vice president of the College Board in New York City.

— David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

‘I have work to do’ to win voters’ trust, Clinton says Hillary Clinton speaks at a campaign rally in Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Hillary Clinton defended her actions on issues from Benghazi to classified emails Sunday in her first television interview since winning the Democratic nomination for president, and she acknowledged “I have work to do” to win the trust of the American people.

Speaking on Fox News Sunday — the most conservative of the news programs covering the campaign — Clinton sought to contrast her long record of public service against Donald Trump, who she said “has offered nothing to help people.”

“I have work to do to make sure people know what I have done and what I will do. That’s what this convention was about,” Clinton said during her swing

through western Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Regarding concerns many Americans have of her honesty and trustworthiness, she said, “All of these caricatures come out of nowhere.”

Asked about the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya; her use of a private email server while secretary of State; the Clinton Foundation’s involvement with foreign governments; and more, Clinton calmly defended her actions.

At the same time, she painted an activist picture of her potential presidency on issues from gun control to immigration, even when it could mean overcoming Supreme Court precedent on the use of executive actions.

For instance, she said she would seek a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who are not criminals or suspected of terrorism if Congress fails to act.

“It’s not just that,” she said about tackling issues that the Supreme Court has not sanctioned.

“It’s Citizens United. It’s a lot of things that I think the court got wrong.”

On guns, she said she would not seek to overturn the court’s 2008 decision upholding the right to keep guns at home for self-defense.

But she said that right is not unlimited. “I want the Congress to step up and do its job,” she said.

Russia won’t invade Ukraine on his presidential watch, Donald Trump said Sunday, adding that he would consider recognizing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s seizure of Crimea.

“I’m gonna take a look at it,” Trump told ABC’s This Week.

“But you know, the people of Crimea, from what I’ve heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were. And you have to look at that, also.”

Russia seized Crimea in March 2014, a move that triggered economic sanctions from the United States and European nations. The peninsula had been part of Russia until 1954, when the Soviet Union moved it to Ukraine, a Soviet republic at the time.

Trump’s comments about Crimea followed his claim that Putin and Russia are “not going into Ukraine, OK, just so you understand.”

However, that is exactly what happened in 2014 with the seizure of Crimea and some eastern parts of Ukraine. Reminded of that, Trump replied that Putin is “there in a certain way. But I’m not there. You have Obama there.”

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign mocked Trump’s responses, especially his claim that there would not be any Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“What is he talking about?

Russia is already in Ukraine,” said Clinton senior policy adviser Jake Sullivan. “Does he not know that?

What else doesn’t he know?”

He added, “This is scary stuff.”

Trump also repeated he has never met Putin, even though he has said in previous years that he has a “relationship” with the Russian president.

“Well, I don’t know what it means by having a relationship,” Trump said. “I mean, he was saying very good things about me. I didn’t meet him. I haven’t spent time with him.”

Russia is playing an increasingly prominent role in the election between Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

U.S. intelligence officials believe Russian interests played a role in hacking Democratic Party computer systems, perhaps in an effort to aid Trump’s election bid.

Hot air balloon disaster prompts look at new safety rules Rick Jervis @mrRjervis USA TODAY

The worst hot air balloon accident in U.S. history is prompting a new look at whether federal safety regulations are needed to oversee the popular pastime.

The National Transportation Safety Board urged the Federal Aviation Administration two years ago to tighten its regulations on hot air balloon operators or risk a “high number of fatalities in a single air tour balloon accident.”

AUSTIN

Those fears were realized Saturday when a hot air balloon crashed in a field near Lockhart in Caldwell County, Texas, about 30 miles south of Austin, apparently catching fire and killing all 16 people on board. The balloon was operated by Heart of Texas Hot Air Balloon Rides, owned and operated by Alfred “Skip” Nichols, described by friends and neighbors as a longtime balloon operator with a love of floating high above the Texas landscape.

It’s unknown whether the NTSB recommendations in an April 2014 letter to the FAA could have averted Saturday’s crash.

But the incident is likely to spark

debate over how balloon operators are regulated and what can be done to prevent accidents.

Between 400,000 and 500,000 people ride in hot air balloons each year in the U.S., said Dean Carlton, president of the Balloon Federation of America. There are around 200 large balloon tour operators in the U.S., and hundreds more smaller commercial outfits, he said.

From 1964 to 2013, the NTSB investigated 760 hot air balloon accidents in the U.S, 67 of them fatal. Accidents typically occur because of several factors, including wind, weather and crashing into power lines.

AARON M. SPRECHER, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Authorities investigate the site of a hot air balloon accident in Maxwell, Texas.

The balloon federation sets safety standards for member pilots, who take safety courses, Carlton said. Nichols was not a member of the group.

The balloon, carrying four propane tanks and three burners, clipped power lines shortly after lift off, NTSB member Robert Sumwalt said Sunday. Investigators were still trying to determine if the power lines caused the balloon to catch fire or if that had occurred prior.

“The NTSB feels there needs to greater oversight by the regulator,” or the FAA, he said. “Their response has been classified as ‘unacceptable.’ ”

VOICES

These Muslim parents speak for many Aamer Madhani @AamerISmad USA TODAY

Since he took the stage at the Democratic National Convention last week armed with a pocket-size copy of the U.S. Constitution and righteous anger, Khizr Khan, an American lawyer born in Pakistan, has emerged as the most powerful voice against Donald Trump’s scaremongering about Muslim people.

In the process, Khan and his wife, Ghazala Khan, the parents of a fallen American Muslim soldier, have also given voice to countless American Muslims — including my own parents —who are incensed by Trump’s repeated calls for restrictions on immigration of Muslims.

In his speech at the DNC, Khan spoke of the patriotism and sense of duty of his son Army Capt. Humayun Khan while questioning whether Trump has a firm grip on the Constitution or a shred of decency.

He pointed out that under Trump’s policies, someone like his son, an American hero who in June 2004 called on his soldiers to take cover as he stepped forward during a suicide attack on their base in Baqouba, Iraq, likely would never have been allowed in the U.S. Over the weekend, Trump, in the way only Trump can, dismissed Khan and his speech in a series of interviews and a written statement.

Trump — who received student and medical deferments that helped him avoid serving during the Vietnam war — pushed back against Khan’s assertion that he’s sacrificed noth-

JACK GRUBER, USA TODAY

Khizr Khan, father of fallen U.S. soldier Humayun S.M. Khan, offers a copy of the Constitution to Donald Trump as he speaks during the 2016 Democratic National Convention.

Trump apparently missed the interview Ghazala Khan gave in which she spoke movingly about her final conversation with her son before he was killed. ing.

In a subsequent statement, Trump acknowledged that Capt.

Khan was a hero but groused that the fallen soldier’s father has “no right to stand in front of millions of people and claim I the have never read Constitution.”

In fact, Khan questioned whether the Republican nomi-

nee had ever read the Constitution — a fair query considering Trump has previously embraced, before backpedaling, the idea of forcing Muslim-Americans to carry a special government identification card and register in a national government database.

It’s a move that would delve into murky constitutional ground as the pesky First Amendment affords Americans religious liberty.

In his interviews on Saturday, Trump also questioned why Ghazala Khan stood by her husband’s side as he delivered his speech but did not address the DNC herself. The subtext of his comment was that Ghazala was forbidden because she’s a Muslim.

“If you look at his wife, she was standing there,” Trump said on ABC’s This Week. “She had nothing to say. She probably,

maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.”

Trump apparently missed the television interview Ghazala Khan gave on Friday in which she spoke movingly about her final conversation with her son before he was killed, the difficulty she has had speaking about her son’s death and her appreciation for all her adopted country has given her.

“We decided to settle here for our children, for our future,” said Ghazala Khan, who in a few short words summed up the immigration story of countless families, including my own.

Ghazala’s words hit home. I am from a family who like the Khans has ties to Pakistan. (My two older sisters were born in Karachi and I was born in the Chicago area a few years after my parents immigrated in the

early 1970s.)

Like many of the Pakistani immigrants of the 1970s, my parents came with very little and struggled to make it. But like Ghazala, they saw America as a beacon of hope that would be worth the struggle.

My father worked a series of low-level jobs, including stints as a dishwasher and factory worker.

When my mother arrived in Chicago with my two sisters several months after my father, they got an inexpensive three-bedroom apartment, subleasing two of the bedrooms to other young men who emigrated from Karachi and were trying to make their own beachhead before calling their own families.

My mother helped make ends meet in their early days by cooking food for some of their fellow immigrants who hadn’t sharpened their culinary skills before beginning their chase for the American dream.

Eventually, it worked out for my parents.

They were able to ditch the roommates, save up enough money to start a small business, buy a home and send three kids to college.

Their immigrant story isn’t particularly unique, but in the words of Khizr Khan, it underscores the greatness of a country where “with hard work and the goodness of this country, we could share in and contribute to its blessings.”

Like most immigrants, my parents’ American story pales in comparison to the Khans, who raised a selfless hero who offered the last full measure of devotion to our country.

In standing up and telling their story, the Khans didn’t just honor their son. They also spoke up for many of us.

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO

The Democratic presidential ticket took a victory lap through the Midwest after what was, by and large, a successful convention. But the three-day bus tour also illustrated Hillary Clinton’s challenges in closing the deal with voters who have a deep-seated mistrust of Washington.

Clinton’s blue campaign bus, emblazoned with her “Stronger Together” slogan, traveled a couple hundred miles, including along the Appalachian Mountain ridge in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio, rolling past Dollar Stores, bowling alleys, redpainted barns and dilapidated wooden homes with porches.

These are the rural communities where there’s a current of anger over the 20-year decline of the nation’s middle class. The resentment stems from trade agreements championed by both

parties as well as political elites they feel are corrupt and have abandoned the country’s heartland while enriching themselves.

From Harrisburg, Pa., to Youngstown, Clinton sought to make a personal connection with voters while touting her economic plan, which calls for the biggest investment in jobs since World War II. She shared the story of her grandfather, who did “dangerous” work in a Scranton, Pa., lace mill, and pledged to “fight”

“There are a lot of people in our country who are frustrated, they feel like maybe the economy has passed them by ...

I get that.”

Hillary Clinton

for those who feel “left behind.”

“There are a lot of people in our country who are frustrated, they feel like maybe the economy has passed them by, their government doesn’t help them, that nobody is listening and nobody cares about them,” she said in

Pittsburgh. “I get that.”

Clinton also said GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has “zero” economic plans while pointing to his business record of manufacturing his branded products in such places as China and Bangladesh. “The only thing he makes in America are bankruptcies, both his own and for the people who do business with him,” Clinton said in Hatfield, Pa. Yet her challenge here is demonstrated by the fact that even some local Democrats say their party shares in the blame for rural America’s economic and social plight. Johnstown, where Clinton visited a steel-wire manufacturer, exemplifies the regions drifting away from the Democratic Party.

“When you come to towns like Johnstown, where they have bled manufacturing jobs the past 30 years, where they have the highest poverty rate in the state” and a heroin epidemic, “they are really suffering,” said Erin McClelland, a Democrat running to represent Pennsylvania’s 12th congressional district.

“They feel the Democratic Party has abandoned them, talks down to them, calls them stupid,” she said.

Donald Trump, under steady criticism from the father of a Muslim U.S. Army captain killed in Iraq, tried Sunday to clarify his remarks about the family of the late Captain Humayun Khan.

“Captain Humayun Khan was a hero to our country and we should honor all who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country safe,” Trump said in a statement. “The real problem here are the radical Islamic terrorists who killed him, and the efforts of these radicals to enter our country to do us further harm.”

The statement came in the wake of an ABC News broadcast Sunday in which Trump appeared to criticize Khizr Kahn, the late captain’s father, after he went after Trump during the Democratic convention that USA TODAY nominated HilDonald lary Clinton Trump last week.

Trump’s remarks on ABC and his subsequent comments on social media brought another tsunami of bipartisan criticism.

Clinton led the way Sunday during an appearance at a church in Cleveland.

“Mr. Khan,” she said, pausing, “paid the ultimate sacrifice in his family, didn’t he. And what has he heard from Donald Trump?

Nothing but insults degrading comments about Muslims, a total misunderstanding of what made our country great, religious freedom, religious liberty. It’s enshrined in our Constitution, as Mr. Khan knows, because he’s actually read it.

“And we have no religious test for political office in America.

Among our great strengths is our diversity of belief, of background, of race, of creed, of ethnicity,” Clinton said.

Last Thursday at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Khizr Khan urged Trump to read the U.S. Constitution and said of the New York businessman: “You have sacri-

ficed nothing and no one.”

“Who wrote that?” Trump said on ABC’s This Week. “Did Hillary’s script writers write it?”

Trump struck a harsher note on Twitter, saying “I was viciously attacked by Mr. Khan at the Democratic Convention. Am I not allowed to respond? Hillary voted for the Iraq war, not me!”

FRANCIS CONDEMNS ‘BORDERS AS BARRIERS’ BARTOSZ SIEDLIK, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Pope Francis arrives to meet with volunteers Sunday at Tauron arena in Krakow, Poland, on the last day of World Youth Day.

Pope makes passionate appeal to youths at Mass to work toward a new world order John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

P

ope Francis wrapped up an emotional, five-day visit to Poland on Sunday by celebrating Mass before more than 1 million adoring faithful packed in a field outside Krakow.

The trip included a solemn visit to the former concentration camp at Auschwitz, where Francis prayed for the mostly Jewish victims of the Nazi Holocaust.

Sunday’s Mass was the culmination of World Youth Day celebrations that drew young Catholics from around the world, including tens of thousands of Americans. Local authorities estimated the Mass drew about

1.5 million people; Radio Poland put the number at almost 2 million. Many arrived early, sleeping in tents overnight.

Security was tight, with entry gained only through security checkpoints.

Thousands of law enforcement officials were scattered in the audience.

The crowd was young and exuberant, and Francis addressed them in a sermon as political as it was religious.

He said young people must be willing to “take a risk, because life is not meant to be tucked away.”

“People may judge you to be dreamers, because you believe in a new humanity, one that rejects hatred between peoples, one that refuses to see borders as barriers and can cherish its own traditions

“Trust the memory of God: His memory is not a hard disk that saves and archives all our data, but a heart filled with tender compassion.”

without being self-centered or small-minded,” Francis said.

“Don’t be discouraged!”

He called negativity a “virus infecting and blocking everything” and said young people must not forget about God in a world of unlimited information.

“Trust the memory of God: His memory is not a hard disk that saves and archives all our data, but a heart filled with tender compassion,” Francis said.

Since taking the helm of the church and its 1.2 billion members worldwide in March 2013, Francis has worked to strengthen ties with Jewish, Muslim and other faiths.

On Friday, Francis sat alone, head bowed, at Auschwitz before meeting Holocaust survivors at the death wall where Nazis shot many of the more than 1 million people, mostly Jews, who died in the camp.

He signed his name in the camp’s memory book, writing, “Lord, have mercy on your people! Lord, forgiveness for so much cruelty!”

The trip also included several meetings and prayer sessions and a visit to Poland’s most revered shrine, the Jasna Gora at Czestochowa. Recurring themes included his prayers that terrorists would repent and that countries would be more receptive to refugees.

Later Sunday, on the plane trip home, Francis told reporters that he will wait until Australian justice takes its course before taking a position on child molestation allegations against a top Vatican cardinal.

The pope said the accusations against Cardinal George Pell, Francis’ top financial adviser, “are in the hands of the justice system.” He said the accused deserved the benefit of the doubt.

Pell, 74, has denied the charges.

TURKISH PRESIDENT TIGHTENS GRIP ON MILITARY

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Sunday a major overhaul of his nation’s military, following a failed coup attempt that led to hundreds of deaths and thousands of arrests.

Erdogan’s decree, the third issued since the July 15 coup attempt, places the military more firmly under the control of the civilian government, providing Erdogan and Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım the authority to directly communicate with and issue orders to army, navy and air force commanders. The commands will report to Erdogan’s defense ministry.

Erdogan also ordered a shutdown of the Turkey’s military academies and establishment of a National Defense University, which will include all Turkish military schools. More than 1,000 service members will be fired, raising the total number of discharges to more than 3,000.

— John Bacon MICH. FARMER: DUMPING CHERRIES IS ROTTEN IDEA

A Michigan cherry farmer is leaving 14% of his crop this year to rot on the ground to comply with an industry marketing agreement intended to keep cher-

ry prices stable. And he’s not happy about it.

A frustrated Marc Santucci, who grows about 30 acres of cherries on his 80-acre Traverse City farm, put a photo of the dumped cherries, thick on the ground, on Facebook on Tuesday — and the photo had been shared nearly 38,000 times as of Thursday afternoon.

“These cherries are beautiful!”

Santucci posted with the photo.

“But, we have to dump 14% of our tart cherry crop on the ground to rot. Why? So we can allow the import of 200 million pounds of cherries from overseas! It just doesn’t seem right.”

A manhunt was underway in Austin after a gunman opened fire on a crowded downtown street as bars were closing Sunday, killing one person and wounding four others, police said.

Austin Police Chief of Staff Brian Manley said five people were shot shortly after 2 a.m. on Sixth Street, a bustling seven-block entertainment district lined with historic buildings that now houses bars, upscale restaurants, trendy shops and music venues.

Police said they were looking for a “person of interest” who “may be armed.”

Relatives identified the slain victim as 30-year-old Teqnika Moultrie.

Ricky Moultrie of Las Vegas, told the Austin American-Statesman that his sister lived in the Bay Area and had traveled to Austin to visit her fiancée’s family. She was with her fiancée downtown when she was shot, Moultrie said.

Manley said it was not clear if the shooter and victims knew each other, but Ricky Moultrie said he did not know anything about the person of interest identified by police in the shooting.

According to court records, he is a resident of San Marcos with several felony burglary convictions. He was scheduled to appear in Hays County Court in September for a possession of marijuana charge. His attorney in the case said he hadn’t had any contact with him Sunday and that the last time he saw him was more than a week ago, the American-Statesman reported.

He was described as 5’9”, 130 pounds, with long corn rows and a goatee. He was was considered armed, according to police.

“It was a very chaotic scene,” Manley said. “A lot of people running in different directions.”

A woman was killed and four people were hurt in a shooting early Sunday in a crowded entertainment district in Austin.

Sam Vedamanikam, 26, told the Austin American-Statesman that he and several friends were walking to their car when four or five shots rang out.

“There were just tons of people on Sixth Street and I see all of them jump toward the ground,” he said. “A lot of people were screaming.”

Manley said it was not clear whether the shooter and victims knew each other. Police were trying to collect video from the scene, he said.

“We know a lot of individuals

have captured the incident or the aftermath of this incident on their cellphones and other devices,” Manley added. “We ask that anyone who has video ... please forward that to us.”

Seven minutes after the first incident, police received reports of another incident several blocks away in which a suspect fired a gun at another person in a parking garage, Manley said. No one was injured, and nearby individuals disarmed the suspect, who was injured and transported to a hospital.

STILL EXITING MUTUAL FUNDS

Despite new highs for the market, many continue to bail Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

In a sign that suggests investors don’t trust the rally that’s propelled the stock market to alltime highs, cash is still being yanked out of mutual funds that invest in U.S. shares at a steady clip.

Blame it on fear of stocks at record levels. Or lousy fund performance. Or “Brexit’ fallout. Or the rise of cheaper exchange traded funds that trade like stocks. Or the demographic shift creating an older populace that craves investment income and bonds.

Fact is Main Street continues to bail out of domestic stock mutual funds, continuing a trend that’s been in place for years.

In the week ended July 20, the latest data available, money leaving domestic stock mutual funds outpaced cash coming in by $10.3 billion – the largest weekly outflow since November,

according to data from the Investment Company Institute, a mutual fund trade group.

In 2016 domestic stock mutual funds have suffered net outflows 27 of 29 weeks. Since Britain voted on June 23 to exit the European Union, a decision that shook up investors, U.S.-focused stock funds have suffered an estimated $28 billion in net outflows, compared with inflows of nearly $16 billion into bond mutual funds, ICI data show. In the three weeks ending in July, investors yanked more than $20 billion out, a period that coincides with the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index hitting record highs for the first time since May 2015.

Mutual funds invest in a basket of stocks, providing diversification not available in single-stock investments. A drawback of “actively managed” mutual funds run by stock pickers is they are close to fully invested at all times, which makes it hard to limit losses in down markets. And unlike exchange traded funds — which trade intra-day like stocks and are passive in nature as they track stock indexes — buy and sell orders for traditional mutual funds are priced at the fund’s closing net asset value at day’s end.

So what explains why record-high stock prices aren’t enough to lure mom-and-pop investors into U.S. stocks via funds?

Theories mutual include: uStill haunted by past crashes. Bad memories of the dot-com stock bust of 2000 and 2008-09 crash during the financial crisis make it hard for inves-

With the world an uncertain place these days, thanks to terrorism, slow global growth and political uncertainty, investors are in a perpetual state of anxiety.

“Retail investors are nervous in the wake of global uncertainties,” says Nick Sargen, senior investment advisor at Fort Washington Investment Advisors. “With the stock market looking pricey now, I don’t see a quick reversal with uncertainties about Europe, China, corporate profits and the U.S. election.” uLousy performance. Actively managed mutual funds, or ones in which stock pickers try to beat a market benchmark, have fared poorly this year, lowering the appeal of these funds, which charge higher fees than low-cost ETFs, Sargen adds.

With the bull in its seventh year and stocks at record levels, investors fear getting in at the top, says Todd Rosenbluth, director of ETF and mutual fund research at S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Drug valuation institute takes heavy fire Critics worry crucial prescriptions will get delayed or rationed Fernanda Crescente and Jayne O’Donnell USA TODAY

Federal regulators this spring boosted the profile of a once-small academic institute that compares the value and price of prescription drugs, and now the group is coming under attack from pharmaceutical companies and allied patient groups.

The pharmaceutical companies are threatened by a potential drop in payments for their drugs by the federal government, and the patient groups — often subsidized in large part by drug companies — say they’re worried life-saving drugs may get delayed or rationed.

The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) focuses on the value and price of prescription drugs to determine which carry the most benefits for their list price, which its supporters say is overdue.

The cost of Medicare’s catastrophic prescription coverage increased 85% from $27.7 billion in 2013 to $51.3 billion in 2015, according to a new report by Medicare’s Office of the Actuary. Two drugs for hepatitis C infection sold by Gilead Sciences accounted for almost $7.5 billion of 2015 catastrophic drug costs.

TRADE GROUP SEEKS REVIEW OF NET NEUTRALITY RULES The Federal Communications Commission’s Net neutrality rules, passed in 2015 and upheld by a federal court in June, face yet another challenge. USTelecom, a trade association that counts among its members AT&T and Verizon, and several other groups have filed a petition asking for a rehearing by a full court of judges in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. A three-judge panel in that court denied a court challenge by AT&T and several other companies and groups with a 2-1 decision in June. Petitioners say they do not have a problem with the rules’ aim to have Internet service providers (ISPs) treat all net content equally, but oppose the FCC’s ability to regulate the Net as a public utility. “We are confident that the full court will agree with the panel’s affirmation of the FCC’s clear authority to enact its strong Open Internet rules,” FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said.

Donna Cryer, of the Global Liver Institute, had a liver transplant 22 years ago and still suffers from related issues.

The issue of high drug prices “isn’t going away,” said physician Steven Pearson, the CEO of ICER. “We want more patients to be able to access drugs that will work for them at a price they can afford and that is sustainable to the health care system.”

ICER reviews new drugs and treatments, looking at how well they work for patients, how much better they are than existing treatments, how much they could save and how much it would cost to treat everyone who needs them.

About 70% of ICER’s funding comes from foundations, 17% from drug and medical device companies, 9% from insurers,

doctors and hospitals and 4% from government grants.

The institute is a “very natural reaction to what has happened” lately with drug pricing, said Leigh Purvis, director of health services research at AARP, which represents people over age 50.

“We literally cannot afford to continue to take (drug companies) at their word that it costs $2.6 billion to bring a drug to market.”

The drug makers and other groups targeted ICER when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services proposed to consider its reports for coverage in a Medicare project. Insurance

companies have been using ICER’s report since its creation.

Drug makers, many patient groups they fund and some patients have lashed out at ICER for what they describe as a threat to patient access to drugs. That and other negative comments in reports “slows the uptake” in coverage of important drugs by insurers, said Robert DuBois, a doctor and chief science officer at the National Pharmaceutical Council, the industry’s health policy research group.

Drugs priced closer to their value will expand access, Pearson said. ICER’s reports often find drugs are priced up to three times higher than their actual value.

Mary Anne Martz, a Batesville, Ind., multiple myeloma patient who submitted comments critical of ICER, said in an interview that after losing insurance coverage, she feared having to go through her and her husband’s retirement savings to afford treatment.

“There are companies that are out there to make profit, and I don’t fault that. However, I fault them making exorbitant profit,” Martz said.

Martz said she filed comments after she received an email from the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) criticizing ICER. “It’s a very clear campaign against ICER that’s being driven by the (drug) manufacturers,” Purvis said. “They don’t come out that strongly against something unless they’re scared of what they’re doing.”

TRAVEL At San Diego airport, circus performers captivate and calm Harriet Baskas

Special for USA TODAY

Yes, there are more bozos than usual wandering the terminals at San Diego International Airport this summer.

And, thanks to SAN’s new performing arts residency program, there are also jugglers, stilt walkers, plate spinners, contortionists, musicians and assorted funnylooking folks from San Diego’s Fern Street Circus mingling with travelers.

“It’s not our usual venue,” said Fern Street Circus co-director John Highkin, but when the call went out for applicants “we were intrigued with the idea of the airport as a community space and a place where circuses don’t usually happen.”

The San Diego airport already has permanent public art, a temporary exhibition program and a monthly performing arts series.

But the performing arts residency program is designed to offer community groups a chance to be paid to improve their craft and work on new content “while offering travelers a different sort of performance experience than in other airports,” said Chris Chalupsky, SAN’s senior manager of art and community.

Fern Street Circus fit the bill for the airport’s first residency, said Chalupsky, because in addition to monthly performances and weekly in-airport rehearsals, circus performers can roam preand post-security areas of the airport getting inspiration for new material and having brief, but very memorable, interactions with passengers.

But like a wire-walking act, choosing the right type of passenger interaction for an airport circus performer can be a delicate balance.

“We recognize that people come to airports with various frames of mind,” Highkin said.

People travel for various reasons — some of them sad — and there’s the hectic phase of checking bags and getting through the checkpoints and, once past security, “the opportunity to be still.”

Pre-security, Highkin said, “we’ve figured out the most appropriate thing is for us to be playful and surprise passengers, but then let them move on.”

Post-security, where passengers often have to wait an hour or more for their flights, interactions can stretch longer and might include silly songs at the departure gates or a clown dressed as a business woman trying to find her gate.

There are also plenty of rules

Members of the Fern Street Circus perform in a baggage claim area at the San Diego airport. and procedural issues a circus in residence at an airport has to go through and keep in mind.

Like airport employees, circus troupe members have to be fingerprinted, photographed (without clown make-up ... ) and go through background checks and security training in order to be badged to enter secure areas of the airport.

All the circus props brought into the airport must be thoroughly scrutinized by the TSA. Jugglers aren’t permitted to use fire, swords, cleavers or other sharp objects pre- or post-security.

And during an early in-airport rehearsal it became clear that a spinning plate act built on the anxiety created when a performer tries to keep plates from clanging to the floor wasn’t really appropriate for a space that

where the goal is create a sense of calm.

During its residency, the Fern Street Circus is not only interacting with passengers unannounced, it is holding weekly workshops and in-airport rehearsals (on Wednesdays) and short monthly performances of its new work in progress.

Passengers who just happened across the July 21 circus performance in SAN’s Terminal 2 baggage claim seemed delighted and surprised.

“It was lovely and refreshing coming off the plane and finding this,” Cheryl Trent said.

“I like how fun it was,” said Nigel Thibodeaux, who was on his way to Chicago. “It wasn’t just about the physical performances.

There was comedy and a story that went with it. I liked the costumes, the different characters

and the fact that the circus members were a diverse crowd racially and gender-wise, too.”

Fern Street Circus will end its residency at San Diego International Airport on Oct. 21 with a longer performance of the new airport-inspired work. The show will then move out into the San Diego neighborhoods.

“It’s all still in development,” Highkin said, “but for now the show is called ‘The Hectic and the Still’ and takes place at Fern Street International Airport.

Our ringmaster is an airport controller, we’ve got vintage suitcases and uniforms, and we’re basing individual characters on people we’ve seen around the airport.”

How to avoid fees on your rental car Christopher Elliott

chris@elliott.org Special for USA TODAY

How do you avoid excessive car rental fees? Dan Bagby does it by by avoiding car rental employees.

“I always use the kiosks and apps to check in,” says Bagby, who works for a grocery chain in Austin. “That way, you just click ‘no’ a few times to refuse the additional services and insurance.”

Oh, the things car rental customers do to steer clear of the little extras. And there are a lot of little extras, for everything from overpriced insurance to pricey toll transponders.

No one knows exactly how much these fees will increase the cost of your next set of wheels, but I’ve read enough surveys to come up with my own estimate. I call it the 50-50 rule of car rentals: Roughly half of all renters will see an unwanted fee on their final bill, and the average bill is inflated by around 50% over the quoted daily rate, a number that includes pesky taxes and airport facilities fees.

This is not news, especially to the millions of Americans traveling this summer. But this is: They’re using technology to avoid the fees.

Bagby’s strategy is clever because it leverages a system that’s meant to make the check-in process go faster, shortcutting a ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

Parking tickets are particularly vexing to rental customers.

But there’s now an app you can use to challenge tickets. lengthy sales process. Front-line car rental agents are trained to sell you “optional” extras like added insurance; they may even be evaluated based on how much they sell, especially expensive insurance.

Or you can do what Mo Lotfi did when he found a surprise refueling fee on his rental car recently. He’d returned the vehicle with slightly less than a full tank, and his car rental agency took that as a license to charge him for an entire full tank. Instead of complaining, he got even.

Lotfi, who works for a social networking site in Hamburg, Germany, created an app called Gas Break that tells you exactly how much fuel you need before the car is full. When you top off a tank, you’re actually filling a part of the tank that is not shown on the gauge. After just a few sec-

onds of computing basic information about your rental car, Gas Break lets you to see the exact amount of real tank capacity. This allows you fill the tank to the line — no more, no less. And by telling the app the current gauge level of your rental car, it can clue you in to how much gas you need for a full tank.

Another source of unwelcome fees: parking tickets. They’re particularly vexing to rental customers because car rental agencies add fees on top of the charge when they send them to you in order to cover their expenses (and some renters claim, turn a little profit).

Enter Joshua Browder, a Stanford University freshman who created the site DoNotPay — billed as the word’s first “bot” lawyer that helps you challenge traffic tickets. The site offers a se-

ries of automated responses to questions about a parking ticket, which can help you fix it on your own.

He’s reportedly helped motorists in New York contest more than 9,000 tickets and all told, has saved drivers more than $3 million. There’s no telling how much he’s cost car rental companies, but they can’t be too happy about it.

“From my experience, when the local government knows someone is using a rental car, they are particularly prone to issuing an unfair ticket,” Browder says.

And then there’s insurance.

Upselling clueless car rental customers on insurance accounts for close to $1 in every $10 collected by your car rental company, so they are understandably protective about it. The workaround: You can make sure you’re covered before you show up at the rental counter, through either your auto policy or your credit card. Or you can book through one of the new car-rental apps like Carla, which includes insurance in the price of its cars.

Car rental companies aren’t taking this threat lightly. Just last week, I heard from a rental customer in Orlando who couldn’t show proof of insurance. Although car rental insurance isn’t required, the rental agency still refused to rent to her. They haven’t come up with an app for that yet, but it’s just a matter of time.

Q: Right after takeoff, it often seems that the pilot slows down and the plane drops somewhat. Why is that? I have noticed that it is pretty consistent.

— Reader in Conchetta, Ariz.

A: The sensation of slowing down is really one of slowing the rate of acceleration; this is due to reducing the thrust after takeoff to the climb setting. The sensation of “dropping” comes from the retraction of the flaps and slats.

Q: Flying and cruising altitude and landing, not a problem. Taking off, I’m not so fond of. It seems that some takeoffs have instances where it feels like you are weightless and are pulling Gs. What causes that?

— Brad Cullen, Milwaukee A: The sensations you describe are the result of acceleration forces during takeoff, causing you to feel the G forces increasing.

Once airborne and the rate of acceleration decreases, the resulting decrease in G load gives you the sensation of reduced weight.

Q: What is the best rate of climb for a 737 fully loaded and occupied?

— Bob A: A fully loaded 737NG (the modern version of this classic airliner) will climb 2,500 to 4,000 feet per minute, depending on the altitude and temperature.

Q: When listening to Los Angeles Departure Control, I’ve heard aircraft ask for “high speed climb.” Are only certain aircraft able to ask for that? I’ve noticed it seems to be aircraft going overseas, like Philippine Airlines to Manila.

— Danny, Rosemead, Calif.

A: Large wide-body aircraft with heavy passenger, cargo and fuel loads need more airspeed to climb efficiently. There is a speed limit of 250 knots below 10,000 feet. These heavy jets are asking for clearance to go above that speed to enable their ascent.

MORE TIPS TO SAVE ON YOUR RENTAL u How to avoid tolls: Car rental companies add extra fees for using their transponders, sometimes charging by the day (whether you use a toll road or not). Either bring your own toll transponder or avoid tolls with a reliable mapping app. “I would suggest using Google Maps,” says Nenad Cuk, a frequent car renter based in Salt Lake City. “The application has advanced settings that allow you to avoid routes with tolls.” u How to avoid high insurance rates: Car rental insurance can be found in unexpected places, including your own credit card, travel insurance policy or as a standalone product from your online travel agency. (Some are limited, so be sure to read the restrictions.) If you are starting to plan for your trip or find yourself at the counter without a collisiondamage waiver policy, don’t worry; you can still buy it from a site like Insuremyrentalcar.com for rates that start at about $5 a day. u How to avoid tickets: Dowload an app like Speed Cameras & Traffic by Sygic (iOS, $4.99) (itunes.apple.com/us/app/ speed-cameras-traffic-bysygic/id766632719), which lets you see the speed limit for the road you are traveling on. or CamSam Plus (Android, $.99) (play.google.com/store/ apps/ Better yet, obey posted laws and speed limits.

Viola Davis doesn’t know many people who fly around in capes, but she does know a few women like her Suicide Squad character, the no-nonsense intelligence officer Amanda Waller.

“I loved the way she looked,” Davis says of the comic book Waller. “I loved the Afro, I loved that she was a big woman because that woman seemed real to me.”

White men pervade most bigbudget comic book movies, but not Suicide Squad (in theaters Friday). Director David Ayer wanted a diverse band of bad guys, and the resulting cast is a role model for Hollywood: Of the 11 core actors, only three (Joel Kinnaman, Jared Leto, Jai Courtney) are white males; four (Davis, Cara Delevingne, Margot Robbie and Karen Fukuhara) are women, and three (Davis, Will Smith and Adewale AkinnuoyeAgbaje) are black.

In addition, Jay Hernandez is Mexican-American, Adam Beach is First Nations (indigenous Canadian), and Fukuhara is Japanese-American.

By contrast, of the seven main heroes of Marvel’s first Avengers film in 2012, six actors were white, one was black and only one was a woman.

Shawn Edwards, co-founder of the African-American Critics Association, says he “absolutely” loves the Squad casting, noting that it echoes Fast & Furious’ multicultural approach. “The mix is natural, it’s organic and I applaud them,” he says. “It’s a beautiful thing to see. I’m glad that finally a franchise in a comicbook universe has gotten it right.

Marvel (was) very slow to the diversity party.”

Plus, it could boost Suicide Squad’s bottom line, says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore. “The global nature of the movie business dictates, both from a pragmatic revenue-generating perspective and as a true reflection of diversity, that smart and innovative casting

Killer Croc (Adewale AkinnuoyeAgbaje) is among the anti-heroes assembled

by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis).

decisions are vital to grab the biggest possible audience.”

The biggest goal for Ayer, who grew up in a diverse South Los Angeles neighborhood, was creating a movie that reflected the lives around him. “It’s less about ticking boxes,” he says. “It’s important for kids to see people who look like them in movies.”

It wasn’t such a big deal for Davis. She quotes her How to Get Away With Murder executive producer Shonda Rhimes: “I don’t see it as diversity. I see it as just Tuesday morning.”

Davis sees it the same way. “I

go through my regular day and I see white blond women with their curly-haired brown children, I see Mexicans, I see Armenians and Russians and Asians. It’s just a part of my life.”

By having many ethnicities and making women notable leads in a project like Suicide Squad, “you can be free with the diversity of the world,” says Smith, whose Deadshot character is white in the comics. “There’s no opposing reality you have to adhere to.”

Suicide Squad could break $100 million in its first weekend, which would be a record August opening. If this supervillain fest is successful, Edwards says, one lesson the industry could take away is how to create a diverse cast without going out of its way.

“There are black characters, white characters, female characters — they’re all in the mix,” he says. “It just feels right.”

Jason Bourne threw a hefty left hook at the box office.

The weekend marks a win for Matt Damon, who returned to his superspy franchise after nine years with a $60 million opening weekend. Bourne beat forecasts by at least $10 million after being handed a weak 56% critical approval rating on review aggregate site RottenTomatoes.com. Audiences liked it better, giving it an A- at CinemaScore.

The strong opening “just proved that Matt Damon is one of the handful of actors that can actually still open a film when you put his face on a poster. And that’s rare these days,” says Jeff Bock, senior box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations.

UNIVERSAL PICTURES

Matt Damon’s American superspy was on target with $60 million.

The opening is the second-biggest in the Bourne franchise (after The Bourne Ultimatum, which started with $69.3 million). Jason Bourne also has new bragging rights: “This also puts the Bourne movies with Damon over the billion-dollar mark worldwide,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore.

A crowd of celebrity Bad Moms

proved a formidable challenger to Spock and Kirk for the No. 2 spot, but Star Trek Beyond prevailed with $24 million. The latest installment in the franchise, directed by Justin Lin, dropped 59% in its second week in theaters — a steeper slide than experienced by either of the Star Trek films directed by J.J. Abrams.

Bad Moms pulled its minivan

up close, earning the No. 3 spot with $23.4 million. The R-rated comedy led by Mila Kunis scored as one of few films that targeted women this summer, says Dergarabedian, and provided perfect counterprogramming to the male-focused Bourne. The film received an A at CinemaScore, with a fresh 63% score on Rotten Tomatoes. “For a film that cost $20 million, when you make your budget (back) opening weekend, it’s time to pop the champagne,” Bock says.

No. 4 was the furry Secret Life of Pets, which neared $300 million domestically, thanks to a $18.2 million haul this weekend ($296.2 million to date).

No. 5 went to horror movie Lights Out, which made $10.8 million ($42.9 million total).

The all-female Ghostbusters crossed the $100 million mark with $9.8 million. The milestone “validates their decision to do the movie, irrespective of the controversy surrounding remaking what to some is a comedy classic,” Dergarabedian says.

Final numbers are out Monday.

Ranking potential Big 12 suitors Versatile entertainer Justin Timberlake made news from his Twitter account (@jtimberlake) by lobbying for the inclusion of Memphis in the Big 12.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has thrown his support to Houston. Central Florida athletic director Danny White insists the Knights are a “monster” waiting to take up permanent residence in the national rankings once unleashed in a big conference and armed with all the advantages that brings.

It’s a lot for Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby to take in, so we’re here to help, as always. I thought it would be fun to rank 11 suitors and one blind résumé from a Big 12 school, 1 through 12, in four weighted categories and see what the numbers say. This is not meant to reach a definitive conclusion, rather to serve as a starting point for discussion on the relative merits of the many suitors.

The categories and weight they carry in the formula: location (37.5 percent), Nielsen designated market areas (25 percent), average football attendance in 2015 (25 percent), academic ranking (12.5 percent).

The geography category does not take into account convenience of travel, such as contiguity to a major airport, direct-flight availability, etc. It merely is a latitude/longitude measurement, based on how close each candidate is to the geographic center of the current 10-member Big 12. I determined that center by calculating the average latitude and longitude of the 10 members, rounding to the nearest tenth of a degree and finding a city closest to those figures, which worked out to 36.0 degrees North, 95.4 degrees West.

Wagoner, Okla. — population 8,622 and 42 minutes southeast of Tulsa by car — take a bow. You are the geographic center point of the Big 12, at least until expansion moves the pin to another spot on the map.

My dream calls for nationally televised debates to take place in Wagoner for the top five in these rankings. The six schools in the JV debate can find a location with a smaller, more remote stage than Wagoner.

The scoring rules for the rankings: Twelve points were awarded for first in a category, all the way down to one point for last. In the location category, the number was multiplied by three, by two in the attendance and market-size categories, by one in academics.

One clarification: In the location category, if schools were within 25 miles of each other in terms of distance from Wagoner, it was considered a tie.

Interestingly, four schools were that close to each other: Central Florida (1,190 miles from Wagoner), East

BILL SELF HELPED THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITION FROM THE DAYS OF ROY WILLIAMS thanks to five tweaks — clockwise from top left, his man-about-town persona, the run to the 2004 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight, the Jayhawk branding of the Allen Fieldhouse floor, an expanded recruiting base, and, center, Self’s defense-first mentality.

How KU transitioned from Roy’s Boys

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

There’s an old golf story floating around that compares former Kansas basketball coach Roy Williams’ countless rounds of golf at Alvamar to the first time current KU coach Bill Self played there.

The story recalls how Ol’ Roy would arrive early, pick the teams, call the game, pinpoint the specifics and head to the first tee knowing that every detail of the round was just as he liked it.

That was not the case when Self first teed it up at the same course 13 years ago.

Instead of outlining every detail, Self’s crew arrived a lit-

tle before its tee time, strolled to the first hole and went for it like a weekend foursome.

That disparity, though having nothing to do with basketball, represented one of the most obvious differences in the transition from Williams to Self.

Since then, with Williams moving home to North Carolina and passing the torch to Self, who three times has defeated his predecessor in the NCAA Tournament, Kansas basketball has traveled down a different path than the one it walked under Williams for 15 seasons.

The wins have continued to pile up, and KU has remained a perennial title contender, but five oh-so-subtle

tweaks that followed Self’s arrival set a new course for Kansas and brought us to today, where Self and the Jayhawks sit on the verge of tying UCLA’s record of 13 consecutive conference titles heading into 2016-17, which officially opens with Late Night two months from today.

Hello, giant Jayhawk With a new hoops coach and new athletic director leading the Jayhawks into 2003-04, Self and Lew Perkins decided to do something bold. Gone was the old state of Kansas logo that sat at mid-court of Allen Fieldhouse. In to replace it was a

251⁄2-foot Jayhawk that promised to jump off television screens and lead the movement toward stronger branding of Kansas basketball.

“That’s when we knew things were changing,” said one former player who began under Williams and finished playing for Self. “The big Jayhawk. The new video board. They just modernized the whole facility. I grew up in this modern world, and I was, like, ‘Yes! Look at this big Jayhawk. Look at that video board.’ It was just awesome to experience that. And I can tell you, for recruiting, that stuff is huge.”

More than Williams, Self

Kansas seeking go-to wideout

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

In his 20-plus years as a football coach, David Beaty has seen enough successful offenses to realize the importance of a go-to wide receiver.

Operating in an era of uptempo, spread attacks designed to score as quickly and often as > KEEGAN, 3C possible, having multiple pass-

catching options certainly is ideal.

The Kansas football coach simply thinks the presence of a clear No. 1 target can make all the difference.

“Just think about when you don’t have one,” Beaty said a couple weeks back, at Big 12 Media Days.

The second-year KU head coach doesn’t have to search too deep into the recesses of his

memory bank to find an example of an offense that lacked a supreme receiver.

During the Jayhawks’ winless 2015, they averaged only 218.6 passing yards a game and an insufficient 15.2 points.

Rangers keep Royals reeling Arlington, Texas (ap) — A forgettable weekend series ended a forgettable month for the Kansas City Royals.

Mitch Moreland homered for the fifth time in his last five starts and Lucas Harrell won in his Texas debut as the Rangers beat the Royals 5-3 on Sunday to finish a sweep of the fourgame series.

Eric Hosmer and Drew Butera homered for Kansas City, which has lost eight of its last nine games and 10 of its last 11 road games. The defending World Series champions went 7-19 in July, their worst month since recording the same record in July 2012, and haven’t won consecutive games since June 29-30.

“We take probably the last couple of weeks and try to forget that,” Hosmer said. “Times are rough. ... Everyone’s doing what they need to do to try to win. It’s just not happening.”

Dillon Gee (3-5) gave up tworun homers to Moreland and Nomar Mazara and allowed seven hits over six innings in his longest start of the season.

He had a 6.43 ERA in six previous starts.

“Made a couple mistakes that they obviously capitalized on,” said Gee, who pitched collegiately at Texas-Arlington and makes his off-season home in nearby Fort Worth. He said he went to the well, too often on Mazara, with a curveball that had previously fooled him. Gee said the scouting report on Moreland was to pitch him down and in.

Moreland sent such a cutter just inside the right-field foul pole.

“Seems like now he’s changed his approach a little bit,” Gee said.

Moreland was 8-for-13 with four homers in the series, including a walk-off winner on Saturday night.

JIMMY WALKER REACTS AFTER MAKING A BIRDIE ON THE 17TH HOLE during the final round of the PGA Championship on Sunday at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J.

Jimmy Walker survives marathon PGA Championship Springfield, N.J. (ap) — Jimmy Walker did everything required of a major champion on the longest final day in 64 years at a PGA Championship.

And then Jason Day made him do a little bit more.

Walker was standing over an eight-foot birdie putt on the par-5 17th hole Sunday when he heard a roar that caused him to twice back off the putt. It was Day, the defending champion and world’s No. 1 player, down to his last chance and delivering with a 2-iron that landed in front of the pin and stopped 15 feet away for eagle.

Walker answered, like he had done all day, with a birdie for a three-shot lead.

Moments later, another roar.

Day made the eagle putt, and the lead was down to one.

“There was nothing easy about the day — really about the week, for that matter,” Walker said. “Especially coming down the last hole.”

He went for the 18th green knowing it was his easiest chance for the par he needed to win. The outcome was still in doubt until Walker missed the green to the right, pitched out of deep rough to 35 feet and rolled his first putt about 3 feet past the cup.

Walker calmly made it to capture the PGA Championship, ending a long and wet week at Baltusrol, and still having just enough strength left to hoist the 37-pound Wanamaker Trophy.

“He really put it on me to make a par,” Walker said.

“Sometimes pars are hard. But we got it.”

That par gave him a 3-under 67 and a one-shot victory and made the 37-year-old from Texas a major champion. Even with the silver trophy at his side, Walker still had a hard time letting that sink in.

Because of rain, the 36-hole final was the longest in PGA Championship history since Jim Turnesa won his 36-hole match in 1952. Walker at least had time to rest in his travel bus — he’s a frequent neighbor of Day on the PGA Tour — and get right back out into the final round. Walker, who shot a 68 in the morning for a one-shot lead over Day, didn’t make a bogey over the last 28 holes.

Day, trying to join Tiger Woods as the only back-toback winners of the PGA Championship in stroke play, came out to the 18th green with his son to watch the finish and quickly found Walker. “Great stuff, mate,” he said.

“It was nice to get the eagle, just to try and make Jimmy think about it,” Day said after a 67. “But obviously, Jimmy just played too good all day.”

In a most peculiar final day at a major, the PGA Championship allowed for preferred lies — that never happens in a major — because of nearly 4 inches of rain during the week that drenched the Lower Course.

stop of a strike by Darlington Nagbe — Portland’s only shot on goal — in the 10th.

The Timbers (7-8-8) had chances in stoppage time. Jack McInerney blasted a rightfooter from the left side of the box off the crossbar in the first minute, and Fanendo Adi’s header, off a cross by Vytautas Andriuskevicius, from the right

it’s the same injury that sent Davis to the disabled list in early July.

Davis has converted 21 of 23 save opportunities in 35 appearances this season with a 1.60 ERA. In his most recent outing Wednesday, Davis allowed three walks for the first time as a reliever.

Strahm, 24, was moved to the bullpen recently after making 18 starts. Splitting last season between Class A Wilmington and Class A Lexington, Strahm had a 2.59 ERA and 121 strikeouts in 94 innings.

Free State pipeline for KU football

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

When Kansas football recruits have questions about the program and the city of Lawrence, Free State High senior linebacker Jay Dineen is more than happy to answer any questions.

Dineen, who made an oral commitment to the program in May, knows plenty about his future school. He grew up as a fan, traveling to KU’s

Carolina (1,202), South Florida (1,207), Brigham Young (1,214). So they each received an equal share of points allotted for places 7, 8, 9 and 10.

The final standings, counting backward with point total in parentheses: 12. Boise State (18), 11. UConn (41), 10. East Carolina (43.5), 9. Central Florida (46.5), 8. Tulane (47), 7. South Florida (47.5), 6. Colorado State (53), 5. Cincinnati (59), 4.

BYU (61.5), 3. Iowa State (65), 2. Memphis (67), 1.

Houston (75).

The fact that Iowa State grades out higher than all but two of the hopefuls might bum out advocates of Big 12 expansion, but the counter argument is that by joining a Power Five conference, schools recruit better and steadily grow into football programs that draw bigger live and TV crowds.

University executives and athletic administrators never would agree to nationally televised debates, wherein candidates state their cases, because the subject

always has seemed open to the idea of glitz and glamour guiding his program. And throughout the years, he has shown greater acceptance of the need for trendy uniforms, flashy play, bold changes to the locker room and facilities and the hype that accompanies recruiting.

In addition, Self, better than most, has embraced the importance of the one-and-done culture without sacrificing sound fundamentals.

Another former player asked about the difference between the two coaches referred to this as Self being “more John Calipari than Dean Smith.”

2004 Elite 8 run Say what you will about a coach guiding players he inherited, but the run Self’s Jayhawks made during the 2003-04 season was crucial to his being accepted quickly by the Kansas basketball community.

Fresh off of back-toback Final Fours and an appearance in the national title game, Kansas was in the middle of one of the most impressive strings of recent success.

In his first season in charge, which included a few noticeable changes in style of play and program priorities, Self’s fourthseeded Jayhawks advanced to the Elite Eight before losing to Georgia Tech in a game that could have gone either way.

Another Final Four would have been the dream scenario, but getting back to the brink of the big stage proved just as important.

“Once he got us there,

Orange Bowl victory in 2008, and now he’s glad to join a couple of his old teammates.

The Jayhawks have four former Free State players in the program this season, including Dineen’s older brother, junior linebacker Joe Dineen Jr., who ranked second on the team last year with 86 tackles.

Along with Joe Dineen, freshmen defensive backs Bryce Torneden and Sam Skwarlo and sophomore

linebacker Keith Loneker Jr., all earned first-team AllSunflower League honors during their time in high school.

K U coach David Beaty said he wanted to make recruiting Kansas a p r i o r i t y , Jay Dineen and perhaps there’s no better example than Free State.

“Clint Bowen is kind of the lead recruiter at our place, and he’s in there quite a bit,” FSHS coach Bob Lisher said of KU’s defensive coordinator. “Kids know who he is obviously, and that helps. Coach Beaty has made a commitment to Kansas kids, and I hope it continues because I think they’re doing a good job.”

Jay Dineen spoke to a few potential recruits at KU’s Friday Night Lights camp last weekend, a

extended recruiting corridor So great was Williams’ respect for his mentor Dean Smith that the longtime KU coach often avoided mining the same areas of the country for talent while at Kansas.

For the most part, this meant areas east of the Mississippi River, which left Williams to restock the roster of one of the best programs in the nation with roughly half of the country’s population at his disposal.

The thought was that there were enough players in the Midwest and on the West Coast — areas in which Williams did very well on the recruiting trail — to keep Kansas competitive without forcing Williams to confront the uncomfortable task of recruiting against Smith, which inevitably would have happened.

When Self arrived, all bets were off. The East Coast became a target area because of the number of tough and talented athletes that fit the Self mold who resided there.

And some of KU’s top players under Self have come from areas that Williams might never have recruited — Russell Robinson, Tyshawn Taylor, Thomas Robinson, Marcus and Markieff Morris, to name a few.

Self’s recruiting philosophy is simple: Go wherever you have to go to get the players you want. And KU’s recent rosters have proven that Self has not

son goes along, you’re tweaking, and you don’t have to spend as much time making major adjustments.”

While Williams stressed team defense, Self views defense as a very personal skill rooted in pride and toughness.

His quest each year is to find five players — and preferably more — who can guard their men and tackle the challenge of not letting an opponent get to the basket.

Even though their points of emphasis were different up front, both Self and Williams strongly believe that even the best offensive teams cannot win big without solid defense.

It’s here where the two Hall of Fame coaches are most alike, even though it may not always appear that way. As one of the former players consulted for this column said, “When you cut ’em open and see what they’re about, they really are very similar.”

Another former Jayhawk suggested that Self’s sideline demeanor — a roll of the eyes, heavy cringe or icy glare — might paint the picture that defense is more important to him than to Williams.

Both coaches like to stress fast offense, but that strategy ranks as the most important thing for Williams and sits more in the No. 1A slot for Self.

Williams believes a team can get up and down the floor no matter what happens on the defensive end.

Self, however, preaches that in order to play fast, you first must get stops.

It’s important to remember that just because Williams feverishly waved his arm to inspire fast breaks, it did not mean he dismissed defense.

In fact, another former Kansas player who has familiarity with both Williams and Self said the big reason people believe the two are so different is the way they emphasize defense.

“Coach Williams spent as much or more time on defense as coach Self,” the player said. “But because of the style of offense coach Williams had, it took away from our defense.”

When comparing the two during their time at KU, a few former players recalled Self putting a greater emphasis on film study. Self uses tape early to emphasize a few core requirements that remain constant.

“Coach Self gets the principles of the defense in, and the guys understand that very early on,” one former player said. “So, as the sea-

man about town From the minute he arrived in town and was greeted at the Lawrence airport by a few adoring KU basketball fans, Bill Self has been visible in Lawrence.

And you’d be hardpressed to find a person who has seen him be anything but comfortable with his perpetual presence in the spotlight.

Whether it’s out at dinner with friends or at speaking engagements from golf tournaments to

two-hour camp for athletes in high school to junior colleges — “Talking to all the coaches and some of the recruits just had me fired up and ready to go,” he said.

He played with Torneden and Skwarlo during the past two seasons, leading the Firebirds to the Class 6A state semifinals each year.

“It’s really cool thinking about that a bunch of kids in Lawrence could go in and change the pro-

gram around,” Dineen said.

Dineen said talk between his former teammates usually turns to excitement and the potential chance of turning around their hometown team.

“At Free State, we’re a (successful) high school, and that’s what we want to do at KU,” Dineen said.

“It’s down right now. Going in and hopefully getting us all on the field at the same time, it’d be huge to start winning.”

with boring quotes at a news conference.

So which schools will win the Big 12 derby, and when will it happen?

Multiple reports indicate the Big 12 wants to finalize expansion plans by Sept. 2, the open of the season, with the idea of adding schools for the 2017-18 school year.

Houston is an absolute lock, the second school a much tougher call.

BYU has a winning tradition and a national fan base, but I don’t sense an appetite from Big 12 members for heading that far west. A conference that spans three time zones lacks focus, identity. The Pac-12 seems like a better fit for BYU at some point.

My guess is Memphis and Cincinnati are neckand-neck for the second spot behind Houston, and Colorado State plays the role of dark horse.

At first blush, I like the idea of Memphis better than Cincinnati. Central Florida and South Florida, either both or neither but not one or the other, could enter the race if the Big 12 decides to expand to 14 schools and understandably can’t resist the temptation to add two huge TV markets.

Receiver

black-tie galas, Self carries with him the charm and charisma that makes him approachable and beloved.

Williams did not. Although he often flashed his charming, southern personality, Williams preferred to stay out of the public eye and often kept the company only of his closest friends behind closed doors.

Self’s willingness to let more people in, along with his uncanny ability never to forget a name or face, has helped the program soar to extraordinary heights, inspiring an even stronger family feel between fans and team.

“Coach Self is such a people person with everybody,” one former player said. “He just makes everybody from Bob Davis to the facilities guy and everybody on the street feel a real connection with him. That’s just how he is. And it’s important to him.”

Added another former Kansas player of Self’s positive public image: “I think that built the brand and helped with donors and people feeling connected to the program.

That stuff adds up and is important. During the down years, that helps build up equity.”

The Jayhawks, of course, have had very few down seasons during the 13-year Self era.

After winning 24, 23 and 25 games during his first three seasons, Self rattled off an average of 32.5 victories over a seven-year stretch that included six 30-win seasons, one national title and two Final Four appearances.

With a record of 385-83 in his first 13 seasons, Self is ahead of the torrid pace set by Williams, who finished 418-101 in his 15 years in charge of Kansas basketball.

well with Beaty. From the high school ranks in his home state of Texas, to stops as an assistant at Rice, Texas A&M and KU, Beaty often found himself with an exceptional receiver at his disposal.

“At A&M we had Mike Evans. We had Ryan Swope the year before,” Beaty said. “When I was at KU (as an assistant for Mark Mangino), we had Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier, both catch over 90 catches apiece.”

Indeed, in 2008 the Jayhawks and quarterback Todd Reesing played with No. 1A and No. 1B receivers. Briscoe burned opposing secondaries for 92 receptions, 1,407 yards and 15 touchdowns. Meier caught 97 passes for 1,045 yards and eight scores.

However, since 2009 — the final season in Lawrence for Reesing, Meier, Briscoe and Mangino — no KU receiver has come close to matching that type of production, and the program lost at least nine games in each of the ensuing six seasons.

During Beaty’s 0-12 debut at Kansas, senior Tre’ Parmalee led the team with 41 catches, 599 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games. Beaty, who doesn’t want Year Two at KU to resemble his first, has since taken over playcalling duties and installed his own version of the famed Air Raid offense.

Eternally optimistic, Beaty doesn’t wonder if Kansas will find a goto receiver this fall, but rather which Jayhawk will emerge as a gamechanger.

“We’ve got to find one, and we’ve got some potential guys,” Beaty said.

“It’ll be interesting to see.

We’re gonna end up having one, because we’re talented.”

While sophomore receivers Steven Sims Jr., Tyler Patrick and Jeremiah Booker all return to the KU passing game this year, the man most likely to break through and give opposing defensive backs headaches appears to be junior LaQuvionte Gonzalez — a transfer who played for Beaty at Texas A&M two seasons ago.

“Quiv hasn’t played football in a long time, but, boy, is he a dynamic little fool,” Beaty said, wearing a grin. “And he can catch, and he can run.

He is dynamic. He might be as dynamic as there is in this entire conference.”

Of course, it’s difficult to take over a game as a receiver without an effective quarterback to deliver accurately those opportunities. Red-shirt junior Montell Cozart and sophomore Ryan Willis will have their chances to win the starting job in the weeks ahead by proving Beaty’s offense is more suited for them than what KU ran under Rob Likens last season.

As much as Beaty loves the idea of lining up an unstoppable receiver, he understands QB remains the most valuable position — perhaps in all of sports.

“If you don’t have that guy,” Beaty said, “you ain’t got nothin’.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Schoop’s bloop helps O’s end skid The Associated Press

Orioles 6, Blue Jays 2, 12 innings Toronto — Jonathan Schoop singled home the go-ahead run in the 12th inning, and Baltimore ended a season-worst five-game losing streak, beating Toronto on Sunday to reclaim the AL East lead.

Adam Jones hit his 20th homer later in the 12th, a three-run shot that helped the Orioles avoid a three-game sweep and move a half-game ahead of the Blue Jays.

Mychael Givens (8-1) worked one inning for the victory as the Orioles won for the first time in six games at Toronto.

After winning eight of 10, New York lost its fourth straight game and fell to .500 at 52-52. Before the game, the Yankees traded reliever Andrew Miller to Cleveland for touted outfielder Clint Frazier and three others.

New York had sent closer Aroldis Chapman to the Chicago Cubs on Monday.
