City to review Wakarusa roundabout plan By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com
Lawrence city commissioners at their work session today will review reconstruction plans to add another two-lane roundabout to Wakarusa Drive. Commissioners will review a summary of next year’s capital improvement project for
the intersection of Wakarusa Drive and Harvard Road. The summary includes the design concept for the project, which calls for a roundabout at the CITY Wakarusa-Har- COMMISSION vard intersection and about 200 feet of
reconstruction to the adjoining street, an area that City Engineer David Cronin said is in poor condition. “We’re going to try to focus on doing this intersection first before we get farther to the north,” Cronin said. “We’re doing the project primarily because the street is in failing condition, and we’re out there doing annual
maintenance work with some of the pavement failures that we’ve had.” The new Wakarusa-Harvard roundabout will be identical to the one completed at the nearby intersection of Wakarusa Drive and Inverness Drive, Cronin said. That roundabout is

School board approves budget By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com
The Lawrence school board on Monday unanimously approved its 2016-2017 budget plan, which includes cuts to the district’s teaching staff and its property tax rate. As part of the newly approved budget, 17 full-time teaching positions will go unfulfilled in Lawrence classrooms; however, all but three were vacated through retirement or resignation. The cuts, which also include a SCHOOLS districtwide nursing position, will save the district about $987,000 collectively — a move deemed necessary by school board members at last month’s meeting because of inadequate state funds.

About 30 volunteers spent the morning and afternoon at the former Borders building, 700 New Hampshire St., sorting through donated school supplies and stuffing backpacks that will also be given away to students of registered families. The giveaway is a coordinated effort by the Salvation Army, ECKAN, the United Way, Penn House and Lawrence Rotary Club.

Police: Boy suffered fatal neck injury on waterslide By Jim Suhr Associated Press
Kansas City, Mo. — A Kansas waterslide billed as the world’s tallest remained off-limits Monday as authorities pressed to figure out how a state lawmaker’s 10-year-old son died of a neck injury while riding it. Details remained murky about what happened Sunday to Caleb Thomas Schwab on the 168-foot-tall “Verruckt” — German Caleb T. Schwab for “insane” — that since its debut two years ago has been the top draw at Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City, Kan. Kansas City, Kan., police issued a statement late Monday afternoon saying that Caleb suffered a fatal neck injury around 2:30 p.m. while
Distribution info Supplies will be distributed at the old Borders location, 700 New Hampshire St., from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday and from 9 a.m. to noon Friday. Those who have not yet registered are encouraged to call the Salvation Army, 843-4188, to be placed on a waiting list.

roundabout, up to a maximum of $600,000, according to the summary. The city’s portion of the project will be funded with infrastructure sales tax funds. Commissioners voted 4-1 to approve the Wakarusa-Inverness roundabout in 2013, at which time city engineers said they would likely recommend a roundabout for the Wakarusa Drive and Harvard Road intersection in future years. Like its counterpart at the intersection of Wakarusa Drive and Inverness Drive, the WakarusaHarvard roundabout will replace four-way stop
signs. The roundabout will allow two lanes of traffic — meaning motorists could navigate the roundabout with another vehicle in the adjacent lane. Motorists who are turning east or west onto Harvard would need to take the outermost lane, while those preceding north or south on Wakarusa could take either lane. The adjoining street reconstruction will be directly south of the Wakarusa-Harvard roundabout and will connect to work previously completed on the roadway, Cronin said. The concept plans call for five 11-foot-wide
traffic lanes, which include a center turn lane. The reconstruction will also include 5-foot-wide bike lanes and 6-footwide sidewalks on either side of the roadway. The City Commission work session will also include a review of the plans to rebuild a portion of Kasold Drive that could reduce the number of lanes. One option on the table for that project calls for the installation of a single-lane roundabout at the Harvard-Kasold intersection. Members of the public will be able to comment on both the Wakarusa and Kasold projects as
part of the work session. The next step for the Wakarusa-Harvard roundabout and adjoining roadway will be formal design plans, and Cronin said public input will be taken into account. “We just wanted to get any comments on the design and then the next step is to proceed to final design plans and figure out the schedule for construction and timing,” Cronin said. Commissioners meet at 5:45 p.m. today at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.

he was riding the slide with two women, neither of whom was related to him. They suffered minor facial injuries and were treated at an area hospital, police said. Emergency responders arrived to find the boy dead in a pool at the end of the ride, according to the statement, which offered no further details. In a statement Monday afternoon, Schlitterbahn said it was “deeply and intensely saddened for the Schwab family and all who were impacted by the tragic accident.” The park was tentatively scheduled to reopen Wednesday, but “Verruckt is closed,” according to the statement. Officer Cameron Morgan, a police spokesman, said no police report about the incident was available. He said investigators were treating Caleb’s death as a “civil matter” rather than a criminal one and referred additional questions to the park. Schlitterbahn spokeswoman Winter Prosapio declined interview requests Monday but told reporters a day earlier that Caleb had been at the park with family members, adding that “we honestly don’t know what’s happened.” It wasn’t immediately clear whether results of an autopsy Monday on Caleb would be publicly released or, if so, how soon, said Margaret Studyvin with the Wyandotte County coroner’s office.

Caleb died Sunday while riding Verruckt, a water slide at the Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City, Kan. Caleb’s crumpled shorts or bathing suit at the bottom of the ride, along with blood on the slide’s white descending flume. “I’m really having a tough time with it. I really am,” said Castaneda, of Kansas City, Kan. “I saw his (Caleb’s) brother. He was screaming.” On the waterslide certified by Guinness World Records as the world’s tallest, riders sit in multiperson rafts during “the ultimate in water slide thrills,” subjecting “adventure seekers” to a “jaw dropping” 17-story drop, the park’s website says. Passengers then are “blasted back up a second massive hill and then sent down yet another gut wrenching 50-foot drop,” the website adds. Each rider must be at least 54 inches tall, and the group’s weight is limited to a total of 400 to 550 pounds. Authorities
didn’t release information about Caleb’s height or the combined weight of his group of riders. According to rules sent to the media in 2014, riders had to be at least 14 years old, but that requirement is no longer listed on the park’s website. Caleb’s parents — Republican state Rep. Scott Schwab and his wife, Michele — have requested privacy as the family grieves, saying in a statement Sunday that “since the day he was born, (Caleb) brought abundant joy to our family and all those he came in contact with.” “As we try to mend our home with him no longer with us, we are comforted knowing he believed in our Savior Jesus, and they are forever together now. We will see him another day,” the statement added. The tragedy happened
on a day the park offered lawmakers and other elected officials a buffet lunch, hot dogs and hamburgers. Verruckt’s 2014 opening repeatedly was delayed, though the operators didn’t explain why. Two media sneak preview days in 2014 were canceled because of problems with a conveyor system that hauls 100-pound rafts to the top of the slide. In a news article linked to the news release announcing a 2014 delay, Schlitterbahn co-owner Jeff Henry told USA Today that he and senior designer John Schooley had based their calculations when designing the slide on roller coasters, but that didn’t translate well to a waterslide like Verruckt. In early tests, rafts carrying sandbags flew off the slide, prompting engineers to tear down half of the ride and reconfigure some angles at a cost of $1 million, Henry said. A promotional video about building the slide includes footage of two men riding a raft down a half-size test model and

Judge could dismiss KU safety suit By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com
A Douglas County judge is considering a motion from the University of Kansas to dismiss a lawsuit that claims the university misled the public by presenting campus housing as safe. The lawsuit Tackett stems from two women, both former KU rowers, who said they were raped in university housing — Jayhawker Towers — by the same man, also a student athlete. The man had played football for the university, but he was ex- McClure pelled last spring. Daisy Tackett said her
assault took place in fall 2014; Sarah McClure said she was attacked in August 2015. Both women are listed alongside their parents — James and Amanda Tackett and Jim McClure — in the lawsuit, which claims KU violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act by misleading the public about the safety of student housing. KU’s attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, prompting the hearing Monday afternoon before Douglas County District Court Judge Kay Huff. During Monday’s hearing, KU’s
The suit claims KU violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act by misleading the public about the safety of student housing. attorney, Brian Fries, argued that the lawsuit failed to identify clear injuries that were caused by KU’s actions, making the plaintiffs’ claim for relief unwarranted. And although Sarah McClure and Daisy Tackett could be considered consumers under the KCPA, their parents are not, Fries argued. Huff said she would take the motion under advisement and release her decision through memorandum at a later date. Tackett and McClure
are also suing KU in federal court claiming the university violated Title IX, which forbids gender-based discrimination in education and requires universities to investigate and work to prevent sexual harassment and sexual violence on their campuses. Those cases are still pending. The women are not suing the man they accuse of the assaults. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284. Follow him on Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

City approves budget after trimming $61K By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com
The Eudora City Commission on Monday trimmed $61,000 before approving its 2017 budget, which will increase the city’s property tax levy by 5.53 mills. In doing so, commissioners preserved funding a newly created $162,000 capital improvement fund at 4 mills and funded all the recommended additional employees, including an added police officer. The approved budget established the 2017 mill levy at 39.51 mills, up
from 32.896 in the current year. At the 39.51 mill rate, the city’s share of taxes on a $150,000 single-family home would be $682. The hearing scheduled before the commission’s consideration of the budget drew about 20 residents and three speakers to Eudora City Hall. Resident Jim Lawson asked commissioners to consider the hardship the tax increase places on those on a fixed income, but overall he and the other two speakers were complimentary of the commission’s work on the budget. Mayor Tim Reazin
defended the budget as published, which included a 7.04 mill increase. The 4 mills earmarked for capital improvement budget would allow the city to undertake a number of long-neglected projects in the years ahead, such as improvements to 10th and 12th streets, replacement of the Ninth Street bridge and installation of more sidewalks and curb and guttering, he said. The capital fund would allow the city to leverage state and federal grants for projects and start professional planning for future improvements, he said.

“We’re trying to do the right thing, now,” Reazin said in reply to Lawson’s question of why the city did not already have a capital improvement fund in place. As each commissioner was given the opportunity to share suggestions on the budget, a consensus developed to retain the 4 mill capital levy — Commissioner Jolene Born’s suggestion it be trimmed back 1 mill found no support — and to retain the proposed full-time police officer, a parks and recreation employee and added

County to vote on 2017 budget By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com
The Douglas County Commission will meet Wednesday for one of its bigger dollar decisions of the entire year. Commissioners will consider adopting the county’s 2017 budget at the meeting scheduled for 6 p.m., an evening time slot reserved for public hearing items. The County Commission’s consideration of the budget will follow the public hearing on the document. Last month, commissioners approved a
proposed $83.7 million 2017 budget for publication, which would increase the county’s property tax levy from 41.098 mills in 2016 to 44.098 in 2017. On Wednesday, County Commissioners can reduce spending levels from those listed in the published budget but can’t increase them without republishing the budget. On the consent agenda will be a measure authorizing the exchange of the old county public works yard, at 711 E. 23rd St., for the current Lawrence school district
maintenance yard, at 146 Maine St. In addition, the school district will pay the county $500,000 as part of the real estate transaction. The county sought the exchange with the goal of constructing the proposed mental health crisis intervention center on the part of the school district’s maintenance yard, which is north of the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center and west of property Bert Nash owns on Second Street. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166.

Plane similar to Amelia Earhart’s flying to Atchison Atchison (ap) — An airplane similar to one flown by Amelia Earhart when she disappeared in 1937 is flying this week to Earhart’s home in Kansas. The fuselage of a 1935 Lockheed Electra L-10E, outfitted exactly like the one Earhart used when she tried to fly around the world, will begin a five-day journey Monday from California to Atchison, where Earhart was born. The Wichita Eagle reports the airplane will be put on permanent display at the Atchison Amelia Earhart Foundation.
The organization plans to build a museum commemorating the flight when Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared in July 1937. The plane was acquired from Grace McGuire, a pilot who spent three decades restoring it. McGuire got the plane from a defunct museum in Orlando, Fla. It’s expected to arrive in Atchison Friday. Foundation director Karen Seaberg said enough money has been raised to build a hangar shell for the planet at the Amelia Earhart Airport
in Atchison. Seabery said that more money will have to be raised to transform the hangar into a museum that will showcase other artifacts, including Lockheed Electra L-10A, modified to a Model E cockpit that visitors will be able to sit in. It is estimated that $500,000 is needed to complete the museum. McGuire had planned to restore the plane so it was airworthy and then complete Earhart’s original 29,000-mile flight before multiple sclerosis forced her to cancel her plan.

Lecompton history project earns national recognition Staff Reports
Elementary. Aided by a grant from Thrivent Life Insurance Company and with the help of staff at the Constitution Hall and Territorial Capital museums in Lecompton, 15 volunteers were recruited to visit the school in the spring of 2015 to help the students research 15 historic sites in the town. The fourth-graders toured the sites before smaller student groups teamed with a volunteer. The students made quilt block art pieces about the sites and made short videos about their assigned sites based on their research. Those
videos can now be accessed by using smart phones to scan quick response codes provided on Lecompton walking tour maps and on signs at the 15 sites. The Lecompton project was the only one the American Association for State and Local History recognized with an award this year. Accepting the award at a Sept. 16 ceremony in Detroit will be the Rev. Bob Dulin, and his wife, Alrutha, of Detroit. Dulin is a member of the Lecompton Historical Society and 1959 graduate of Lecompton High School.
arrested Sunday evening and early Monday. All three were arrested without incident and were being held in the Saline County jail on $1 million bond each. KBI special agent in charge Doug Younger declined to identify the intended victim or provide other information about
the investigation. Young says giving additional details would interfere with the ongoing investigation, but noted additional arrests are possible. He says 30 to 40 law enforcement officers are involved in the large investigation.
The American Association for State and Local History has honored a former fourth-grade class of Sandy Gantz of the Perry-Lecompton school district and two Lecompton museums with an Award of Merit for their collaborative effort in creating a smart-phone assisted walking tour of historic sites in the western Douglas County community. The project sprung from a research assignment Gantz gave her 2014-2015 fourth-grade class at Lecompton

The staff reductions make up the majority of the cost-cutting measures in the budget, which covers the school year from July 1 of this year to June 30, 2017. Under the budget, local property owners will experience a 3.165 mill decrease from the previous school year’s mill levy. The new mill reduction would amount to about

4 lanes better Reducing Kasold Drive to two lanes is not the best plan for a major route through the city
S
hrinking Kasold Drive from four lanes to two from Sixth Street to Bob Billings Parkway continues to feel like a mistake. Tonight, the Lawrence City Commission will again consider reconstruction plans for Kasold, which will be rebuilt next year. The commission will review a concept study that compares a traditional five-lane option with a “complete streets” three-lane option, which is supposed to be safer for pedestrians and cyclists. City staff members are recommending the complete streets three-lane option. The traditional five-lane street option includes the installation of a traffic signal at the Harvard-Kasold intersection. It calls for two northbound lanes, two southbound lanes and a center turn lane. The complete streets three-lane option includes the installation of a single-lane roundabout at the Harvard-Kasold intersection. It calls for one northbound lane, one southbound lane and a center turn Reducing lane. Kasold to two Both options include bike lanes, lanes could and the have a major sidewalks potential installation impact on of a traffic signal at the flow of the intersection of Eighth Street and Katraffic from sold. the major The advantages of residential the complete streets option include wider areas on the driving lanes, bicycle northwest lanes and medians. side of the city Perhaps more imto the major portantly, the threeretail centers lane option would be about $1.16 million to the south. less than the fivelane option. The study the city will review shows traffic on Kasold has remained stable for two decades at about 14,700 vehicles per day, and only modest increases are projected in the next two decades. That should be an argument for keeping four lanes. Why reduce Kasold to two lanes if four lanes are needed now and in the future? Reducing Kasold to two lanes could have a major impact on the flow of traffic from the major residential areas on the northwest side of the city to the major retail centers to the south. Not only will lane reductions slow traffic on Kasold, but they will push more cars to already congested Iowa Street to the east and Wakarusa to the west. The public has not shown much appetite for the city staff’s lane reduction recommendation. In a survey the Journal-World conducted last fall of 1,000 residents who drive Kasold regularly, 71 percent said they prefer keeping Kasold at four lanes. Noting that the decision will have a 50-year impact on the city, Mayor Mike Amyx suggested that perhaps there is a way to incorporate bicycle and pedestrian features into the Kasold reconstruction plan while maintaining four lanes. Amyx’s suggestion is a sensible approach. It certainly seems more appropriate than arbitrarily restricting traffic flow on one of the city’s major arteries.
When lies become immune to truth Washington — How did Donald Trump win the Republican nomination despite clear evidence that he had misrepresented or falsified key issues throughout the campaign? Social scientists have some intriguing explanations for why people persist in misjudgments despite strong contrary evidence. Trump is a vivid and, to his critics, a frightening present-day illustration of this perception problem. But it has been studied carefully by researchers for more than 30 years. Basically, the studies show that attempts to refute false information often backfire, and lead people to hold on to their misperceptions even more strongly. This literature about misperception was lucidly summarized by Christopher Graves, global chairman of Ogilvy Public Relations, in a February 2015 article in the Harvard Business Review, months before Trump surfaced as a candidate. Graves is now writing a book about his research at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center in Italy. Graves’ article examined the puzzle of why nearly one-third of U.S. parents believe that childhood vaccination causes autism, despite overwhelming medical evidence that there’s no such link. In such cases, he noted, “arguing the facts doesn’t help — in fact, it makes the situation worse.” The reason is that people tend to accept arguments that confirm their views and discount facts that challenge what they believe. This “confirmation bias” was outlined in a 1979 arti-

“
Studies show that attempts to refute false information often backfire, and lead people to hold on to their misperceptions even more strongly.” cle by psychologist Charles Lord, cited by Graves. Lord found that his test subjects, when asked questions about capital punishment, responded with answers shaped by their prior beliefs. “Instead of changing their minds, most will dig in their heels and cling even more firmly to their originally held views,” Graves explained in summarizing the study. Trying to correct misperceptions can actually reinforce them, according to a 2006 paper by Brendan Nyhan and Jason Reifler, also cited by Graves. They documented what they called a “backfire effect” by showing the persistence of the belief that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction in 2005 and 2006, after the U.S. had publicly admitted they didn’t exist. “The results show that direct factual contradictions can actually strengthen ideologically
grounded factual belief,” they wrote. Next Graves examined how attempts to debunk myths can reinforce them, simply by repeating the untruth. He cited a 2005 study in the Journal of Consumer Research on “How Warnings about False Claims Become Recommendations.” It seems that people remember the assertion, and forget whether it’s a lie. The authors wrote: “The more often older adults were told that a given claim was false, the more likely they were to accept it as true after several days have passed.” When critics challenge false assertions — say, Trump’s claim that thousands of Muslims cheered in New Jersey when the Twin Towers fell on Sept. 11, 2001 — their refutations can threaten people, rather than convince them. Graves noted that if people feel attacked, they resist the facts all the more. He cited a recent study by Nyhan and Reifler that examined why people misperceived three demonstrable facts: that violence in Iraq declined after President George W. Bush’s troop surge; that jobs have increased during President Obama’s tenure; and that global temperatures are rising. The study showed two interesting things: People are more likely to accept information if it’s presented unemotionally, in graphs; and they’re even more accepting if the factual presentation is accompanied by “affirmation” that asks respondents to recall an experience that
made them feel good about themselves. Bottom line: Vilifying Trump voters — or, alternatively, parents who don’t want to have their children vaccinated — won’t convince them they’re wrong. Probably it will have the opposite effect. The final point that emerged from Graves’ survey is that people will resist abandoning a false belief unless they have a compelling alternative explanation. That point was made in an article called “The Debunking Handbook,” by Australian researchers John Cook and Stephan Lewandowsky. They wrote: “Unless great care is taken, any effort to debunk misinformation can inadvertently reinforce the very myths one seeks to correct.” Trump’s campaign pushes buttons that social scientists understand. When the GOP nominee paints a dark picture of a violent, frightening America, he triggers the “fight or flight” response that’s hardwired in our brains. For the body politic, it can produce a kind of panic attack. Screaming back at Trump for these past 12 months may have been satisfying for his critics, but it hasn’t dented his support much. What seems to be hurting Trump in the polls now are self-destructive comments that trouble even his most passionate supporters. Attempts to aggressively “correct” his remaining fans may only deepen their attachment. — David Ignatius is a columnist for the Washington Post Writers Group.

GLITCH GROUNDS ANOTHER AIRLINE Delta latest to suffer computer problems, snarling many flights Bart Jansen @ganjansen USA TODAY
Delta became the latest airline felled by technology when a computer outage overnight led to hundreds of canceled flights and thousands of stranded travelers in what industry experts say is an avoidable problem for airlines. With its systems meltdown Monday, Delta became the sec-
ond airline this summer to fall victim to a computer glitch that sent its operations into a tailspin. Southwest had to cancel 2,300 flights in July when a router failed and backup systems didn’t kick into gear as expected. Delta, a carrier that touts its reliability, blamed “a power outage in Atlanta,” the airline’s operational hub, that struck its computer systems and operations worldwide. Georgia Power, the state’s largest electrical company, said a Delta equipment failure overnight caused the power outage. “We don’t believe it was a Georgia Power issue,” said Craig Bell, a spokesman for Georgia Power.
SETH WENIG, AP
Delta passengers wait at a counter in Newark Liberty International Airport. The carrier blamed a power outage in Atlanta.
The outage forced Delta to cancel 450 flights by 1:30 p.m. ET on a busy travel day. Experts such as Bill Curtis, senior vice president and chief scientist at CAST, which analyzes software for large companies, suspects a glitch in the software that runs the airline’s complex computer systems. Airline computers juggle multiple systems that must interact to control gate, reservations, ticketing and frequent fliers. Each of those pieces may have been written separately by different companies, Curtis said. Even if an v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

RIO DE JANEIRO With the wag of a finger and a cascade of boos, the months-long Russian doping controversy has come to life at the Olympic Aquatics Center. The swimming venue has become the crossroads of a morality play that harks back to the days of the Cold War. A 100-meter race between two breaststrokers has turned into a metaphor for the endless bickering between East and West. A battle of words and frog kicks has become the culmination of the growing antagonism

between the Russian state-sponsored doping machine and those nations that have spoken out forcefully against it. The race itself Monday evening was a simple contest between
Russian Yulia Efimova — the twice-banned 2012 Olympic bronze medalist and world champion who was suspended from these Olympic Games, then mysteriously brought back hours before she was to compete — and American Lilly King, who boldly spoke for many Olympic athletes in her open condemnation of Efimova’s presence here. King, a 19-year-old swimmer at Indiana University, was the winner by more than half a second, powering to the wall ahead of Efimova, then twice pounding the water in Efimova’s lane. “You know, you’re shaking your finger No. 1 and you’ve been caught for drug cheating,” King said of Efimova to NBC. “I’m just not, you know, not a fan.” Game on. King is not alone. There’s never v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B
Authorities seek cause of boy’s death on ‘insane’ slide Kansas park remains closed after tragedy John Bacon and Greg Toppo USA TODAY
A Kansas water park and the world’s tallest water slide remained closed Monday while authorities investigated the death of the son of a state lawmaker on the park’s “Elected Officials Day.” An autopsy was conducted Monday on the body of Caleb Schwab, who died Sunday at the Schlitterbahn Water Park in Kansas City, Kan. Caleb was riding
the Verrückt — German for “insane” — which drops riders at 65 mph from almost 169 feet up. Bigger and faster is a recurring theme for Schlitterbahn Waterparks & Resorts, which this summer opened at its Texas park, Schlitterbahn Galveston Island, what it calls the world’s tallest water coaster: The Massiv. Caleb, 10, was the son of state Rep. Scott Schwab and his wife, Michele, of Olathe, Kan. A family friend set up a GoFundMe page aimed at collecting $15,000 for funeral expenses. On Monday, the fund had exceeded the goal. “Since the day he was born, he brought abundant joy to our fam-

ily and all those he came in contact with,” a family statement said. “As we try to mend our home with him no longer with us, we are comforted knowing he believed in our Savior Jesus, and they are forever together now. We will see him another day.” Park spokeswoman Winter Prosapio said the park and ride were closed Monday but that the park was tentatively scheduled to reopen Wednesday. She said all of the park’s rides are inspected every day and that an outside party inspects them each season. “We honestly don’t know what’s happened,” Prosapio said.
Kansas City Police Chief Terry Zeigler said the death was being treated as an accident. The park’s website says riders on the Verrückt should be at least 54 inches tall. Riders sit in a three-person raft, restrained with straps and covered by netting. Rafts have a weight limit of 550 pounds, with no single rider weighing over 300 pounds. Schlitterbahn co-owner Jeff Henry, who created Verrückt with senior designer John Schooley, said he was among the first to ride the water slide: “I’m still recovering mentally. It’s like jumping off the Empire State Building. It’s the scariest thing I’ve done.”

RIO DE JANEIRO
v CONTINUED FROM 1B
America, cut it
out. For the past few weeks, every time I told someone I was going down to Rio for the Olympics, their eyes opened wide and their responses bordered on terrified. You’re going to get Zika. You’re going to get killed. Take a bulletproof vest. At first, I laughed it off, figuring they were just looking out for my well-being. But as the Games have gotten underway, I keep reading those stories from the U.S. and seeing those rants littering my social media streams, and I’m realizing it’s something more: Call it an American superiority complex. No, Brazil is not nearly as developed as the United States. The water isn’t safe to drink, the crime can be staggering in parts, and it can be stressful for English speakers to easily and safely get around. But Rio isn’t some backwoods town in the middle of the jungle, as so many back home seem to believe. This city of 6 million people is a bustling, energetic metropolis that has some of the most beautiful views you’ll ever find and some of the most fascinating people you’ll ever encounter. Is there Zika? Of course. But it’s winter in the Southern Hemisphere right now, meaning the mosquito population is incredibly low in Rio. The last time I caked myself in bug spray wasn’t here but in Miami last week, when I was reporting on a local outbreak of Zika there. Is there violence? Plenty of it. A trip into Brazil’s infamous favelas — ungoverned neighbor-
JAMES LANG, USA TODAY SPORTS

Too many Americans are criticizing this country and this city for being incapable of handling functions that we ourselves struggle with each day. hoods millions of Brazilians call home — is a horrible idea for a foreigner. Street crime is common, pickpockets have targeted Olympic delegations, and I’ve run into tourists who have, rightfully, yanked off their wedding rings and left their jewelry at home.

What all that booing is about
be harder. “It’s like investigating crime; there is a lot of data they’ve got to sift through to figure out what actually happened,” Curtis said. Analysts say it’s surprising that airlines would risk catastrophic computer failures that can bring business to a halt. “There’s really no good explanation for it,” said Robert Mann, an industry analyst at R.W. Mann & Co. and former airline executive. “I suspect there will be a lot of internal review, as well. You can’t do business without the front end working.” The outage for Delta, which prides itself on the fewest cancellations in the industry, according to Transportation Department statistics, followed similar problems for its peers in recent years. In addition to Southwest Airlines’ router failure in July, United Airlines a year earlier blamed a router for an outage as it merged computer systems with the former Continental Airlines. In April 2013, American Airlines had an outage that canceled hundreds of flights during its merger with the former US Airways. Delta’s failure is unusual because the airline is known for its reliability and in-house computer system, said Seth Kaplan, editor of Airline Weekly, who also wrote a book, Glory Lost and Found, about Delta’s resurgence since 2001. In contrast, Southwest “is sort of limping along with a very antiquated system that they’re about to replace,” he said. Other airlines contract out for computer services, Kaplan said. “There’s no way to truly test it in a live environment. Clearly, Delta didn’t do enough,” Kaplan said. “Fortunately for Delta, it goes into this with a lot of capital with its customers.” Henry Harteveldt, an airline analyst and founder of San Francisco-based Atmosphere Research, found it baffling that Delta, which is known for investing in its information technology, didn’t have a parallel system in place. “What I don’t know is why they don’t have a fail-safe method that, if there is a power outage, that there should be redundant systems,” Harteveldt said.
As Javelle Redmond, an Atlanta construction worker in town for the Games, told me: “You just hear about the places not to go and you stay away from them.” Is the water polluted? You bet. But how comfortable would you feel swimming laps in Flint, Mich., these days? Or would you want to sip the water in the nearly 2,000 water systems that the USA TODAY Network found in all 50 states with lead contamination problems? How about those terrorism threats facing the Olympics? The U.S. has the most robust intelligence service in the world, but Orlando still happened. San Bernardino happened. Boston. Fort Hood. New York City. I’m not arguing that Brazil is somehow on par with the U.S. in terms of overall development, public health systems or security capabilities. What I’m saying is that too many Americans are criticizing this country and this city for being incapable of handling functions that we ourselves struggle with each day.
Sometimes, Americans are actively looking to cast Brazil in as negative a light as possible. On Sunday night, the Drudge Report ran out a headline screaming “Rio Olympic security chief robbed at knifepoint.” Only, the security chief wasn’t robbed. A knife-wielding mugger rushed at him, but his bodyguards shot and killed the assailant — in other words, the security worked. So why don’t we all stop bashing Brazil for these next couple of weeks and try to appreciate the good parts of this country? Read about the people or listen to the music. Visit a Brazilian steakhouse or look up how to make a proper caipirinha. Learn a lesson from the Brazilian technology sector on how to survive a recession or from the Brazilian people on how not to take yourself so seriously. If something horrible happens during these Games, we’ll be all over it. But until something like that happens, lighten up. Gomez covers Latin America for USA TODAY.
been much booing in swimming — except for this week when a Russian is announced on the pool deck. Efimova is by far the boobirds’ biggest target. The reaction is especially intense from the sections of the arena where swimmers from other countries are sitting. What exactly are they booing? It’s easy to get confused about who’s cheating in what these days, but here’s how to differentiate between Efimova and, say, Lance Armstrong. Armstrong was not part of a state-sponsored doping program. Efimova is. Armstrong deceived his national drug-testing system. Efimova was a product of hers. Let’s take what the Russians did and see how it would look if it had happened in the USA: The cheating would have been led by the Health and Human Services secretary, a member of President Obama’s Cabinet, and would have included the U.S. Olympic Committee, the FBI or the CIA (or both) and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. It would have involved hundreds of U.S. athletes from all Olympic sports, winter and summer. It would have gone on for five years, and resulted in the outright stealing of dozens if not hundreds of medals and titles from clean athletes. And that’s why people are booing. For more than a generation, the story of swimming sadly has been intertwined with that of steroids. It was Shirley Babashoff who spoke up about the East Germans at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Janet Evans about long-since disgraced Irish swimmer Michelle Smith at the 1996 Atlanta Games. King is in good company.
Trump lays out economic plan, lays into Clinton In Detroit, he shares his vision but skips most of the details Kathleen Gray and John Gallagher Detroit Free Press
DETROIT Calling Hillary Clinton a candidate from the past who will merely continue the policies that have destroyed cities like Detroit, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told a business crowd here that he is the best agent for change in America. “Detroit was once the economic envy of the world,” he said. “When we were governed by the America-first policy, Detroit was absolutely booming. … But for many living in this city, that dream has long ago vanished.” Although Trump’s speech was billed as his economic vision for the country, he spent a large amount of his address to 1,500 people at the Detroit Economic Club lashing out against Clinton, his Democratic opponent. The Democratic Party has reached into the past to select “a nominee from yesterday, who offers the rhetoric of yesterday and the policies of yesterday. There will be no change under Hillary Clinton, only four more years of weakness and President Obama,” Trump said. “We’ll be looking boldly into the future. That is what our country deserves. “American cars will travel the roads, American planes will connect our cities, and American ships will patrol the seas. American steel will send new skyscrapers soaring all over our country.” Trump offered glimpses of his economic plan, adding that he will roll out more details in the coming weeks. Among the policy proposals he outlined were plans to reduce the number of income tax brackets from seven to three; to eliminate income taxes for individuals who earn less than $25,000 or $50,000 for married couples; to make all child care expenses tax deductible; and to reduce the corporate tax rate. He hammered Clinton for her support for the North American

Supporters of Donald Trump cheer during his campaign stop Saturday in Windham, N.H. Free Trade Agreement and predicted that she will approve the Trans-Pacific Partnership if she’s elected. Clinton has said she opposes the TPP and is willing to renegotiate NAFTA. “A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for TPP and NAFTA. Before NAFTA went into effect, there were 285,000 autoworkers in Michigan. Today that number is

only 160,000,” Trump said. “Detroit is still waiting for Hillary Clinton’s apology. She’s been a disaster. I expect Detroit will get that apology right around the same time Hillary Clinton turns over those 33,000 emails she deleted.” It was a message geared to the blue-collar workers who have lost their jobs or have seen stagnant
wages for years. These are the voters in such Rust Belt states as Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania that Trump is counting on for his path to the presidency. Trump’s speech offered a bleak vision of the American economy at odds with the nation’s low unemployment rate and slow but steady economic growth. Trump instead painted a portrait of America as a place with rising unemployment, deepening poverty and economic weakness. Trump offered so many bullet points in such rapid succession that he didn’t concentrate on any in great length or explain how he would pay for the initiatives. His plan comes on the heels of the appointment of his new economic policy team last week, 13 men, mostly businessmen. Responding to Trump during a campaign event in St. Petersburg, Fla., on Monday, Clinton assailed the efforts of Trump’s new policy team, saying they “tried to make his old, tired ideas sound new” in the Detroit speech. Charles Ballard, a professor of economics at Michigan State University, took issue with Trump’s assertions that he could enact huge tax cuts while rebuilding America’s infrastructure. “Any way you look at it, it adds up as either a big increase in deficits or you’ve got to make huge cuts to stuff like Social Security and Medicare or defense,” he said.

KHANS: TRUMP STIRS ‘UGLINESS’ Muslim couple cope with sudden fame and politics in the glare of the spotlight
CHARLOTTESVILLE , VA . Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the Gold Star parents whose appearance at the Democratic National Convention created a firestorm for Donald Trump, say they felt compelled to speak out because the welcome they felt when they immigrated to the United States nearly four decades ago is eroding in the face of this year’s presidential campaign. Even the decision to wear a hijab, the traditional head scarf worn by some Muslim women including Ghazala Khan, has become the source of anxiety. “You see people wearing scarves, people are pointing fingers at them and throwing them out of flights and calling them names when they pass by and all of that,” Khizr Khan, 66, said on Capital Download. “Most Americans are against this kind of nonsense, but there is an element that has gotten voice, has been encouraged by this political rhetoric, and especially this election season has made it worse.” He says Trump’s call to ban all Muslim immigrants — a position the Republican nominee has since modified — and his provocative statements against Mexicans and others bear some of the responsibility for a loss of civility and restraint. “The voices that wouldn’t dare because they were afraid of the decent America to condemn them ... have gathered courage to show their ugliness,” he told USA TODAY’s weekly video newsmaker series. Khan and his wife are newcomers to the political wars, naturalized citizens who have voted for both Democrats and Republicans. It was less than two weeks ago that, standing on stage at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Khizr Khan pulled his worn pocket-sized copy of the Consti-

tution from his pocket and defiantly offered to loan it to Trump to read. A lawyer, Khan has long passed out copies of the Constitution to students and others. The binding of his own copy is falling apart, with passages including the Fourteenth Amendment highlighted and notes written in the margins. Since the convention, the couple have become among the bestknown Muslim Americans in the nation — interviewed on TV and radio, profiled on the front pages of newspapers, even the subject of a crowd-sourced fundraising campaign encouraging him to run for the Virginia House of Delegates. Their home here features a large American flag flying near the entrance and a wall of the liv-

ing room dedicated to their son, Humayun, a U.S. Army captain who died in Iraq in 2004. After their appearance, Trump complained Khizr Khan unfairly had attacked him and questioned why Ghazala Khan hadn’t spoken on stage. (She says the photo of her son projected behind them would have made her break down in tears.) The Republican leaders who implicitly rebuked Trump by publicly expressing sympathy and respect included Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who called their son “an American hero.” In an ABC News/Washington Post Poll released Sunday, three of four Americans disapproved of the way Trump had handled the situation. Just 13% of registered voters in the nationwide survey
approved. Hundreds of letters and cards, most friendly, have arrived at the Khans’ home since then, many addressed simply to “Mr. and Mrs. Khan, Charlottesville, VA.” They nearly fill a cardboard banker’s box on the dining-room table. Dozens more are piled on the kitchen table, where Ghazala Khan is reading and responding to them. For now, she puts aside the ones without return addresses or signatures — likely negative ones that accuse them of being political pawns or worse. During the past year, the Khans say they have heard rising fears from Muslim friends and family, especially children. “For the whole year last year, we’ve been sitting very quietly like many, many, many American citizens, watching this political process take shape, watching the disrespect of Donald Trump, him disrespecting immigrants, Muslim immigrants, women, judges, even senior members of his own party,” Khizr Khan said. Ghazala Khan says she received a nervous call from her niece, who had grown up in the United States and was returning after spending two years in Pakistan. “She called me, ‘Auntie, I’m so disturbed because all I have heard in Pakistan: Trump is going to teach Muslims a lesson.’ ” Now that she’s back, Khan says her niece says it’s “not that bad,” though she encounters more hostility toward the hijab she wears than she did before. The Khans say they hope to continue speaking out during the fall campaign. They don’t rule out doing events for Hillary Clinton, although they say her campaign hasn’t asked them to do so. Khizr Khan says the campaign didn’t write his convention speech or edit it, other than to insist he shorten a six-page speech to a page-and-a-half for time constraints. Ghazala Khan was his editor, and only in the cab on their way to the arena did he decide to add the gesture of taking out the pocket Constitution he carries. During the interview Monday, a box arrived: another shipment of pocket-sized Constitutions.

Pakistani journalists shout slogans during a protest for their slain comrades from a suicide bombing Monday in Quetta, Pakistan. At least 64 people, mostly lawyers and two journalists, were killed in the explosion near a hospital. SCORES DEAD IN BOMBING OUTSIDE PAKISTAN HOSPITAL
Scores of people were killed Monday in a suicide bombing at the main gate of a hospital in southwestern Pakistan. At least 67 people were killed in the incident at the Civil Hospital in the city of Quetta in the Balochistan province, Abdul Rehman, the hospital’s director, told the Associated Press. He said that 92 people were being treated for injuries. Two journalists working for local news channels also were killed in the attack, Shahzada Zulfiqar, the president of the Quetta Press Club, told the AP.

Amtrak plans to run new, faster trains on the busy Northeast Corridor with locomotives pulling passengers at up to 160 mph in sections. The $2.5 billion project to be announced later this month will replace the now-20-year-old Acela Express trains with new locomotives and passenger coaches. The trains, which can run at higher speeds, will travel the busy route between Boston and Washington and will decrease travel times slightly, Amtrak CEO Joe
Boardman told USA TODAY. The new trains will come on line three years from now, said Boardman, who is retiring next month. — Trevor Hughes AMERICAN, AUSTRALIAN KIDNAPPED IN KABUL
An American and an Australian have been kidnapped in the Afghan capital of Kabul, a government official said Monday. Sediq Sediqqi, spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry, said the two were driving near the American University of Afghanistan on Sunday night when they were stopped by up to five gunmen wearing Afghan military uniforms, the Associated Press reported. CNN reported that the two men were lecturers at the university. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.

With a nationwide average temperature of 75.3 degrees, July was the USA’s 14th-warmest July on record, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.
TOKYO Japan’s beloved Emperor Akihito said in a rare television address Monday that his time to go is approaching. The 82-year-old monarch said declining health has made it difficult for him to continue in his official capacity. Although he never used the word “abdicate,” Akihito made it clear that he will have to step down, ending nearly three decades as the head of the world’s longest-running hereditary monarchy. “When I consider that my fitness level is gradually declining, I am worried that it may become difficult for me to carry out my duties as the symbol of the state with my whole being as I have done until now,” Akihito said during the 11-minute taped message. Under Japan’s post-World War II constitution, the emperor is designated as “the symbol of the state and of the unity of the people” but has no governmental powers and is not permitted to engage in political activity. Still, abdication is a sensitive issue. No Japanese monarch has stepped down in nearly 200 years, and no law governs such cases. Akihito’s retirement could raise delicate questions about the ban on female succession, conservative efforts to rewrite Japan’s war-renouncing constitution and the imperial family’s place in society. Much of Japan came to a brief halt midafternoon, as Akihito’s message was broadcast on national television. “He (Akihito) is always thinking about the people of Japan. His sense of duty is very great. I hope he can have some rest,” Kiyokazu Tsuchida, 96, told Nippon Television after the speech. Tsuchida is a former Imperial Navy sailor who fought on the island of Peleliu, in the Western Pacific, during World War II. Akihito and Empress Michiko visited Peleliu in 2015 and laid wreaths at separate memorials to
IMPERIAL HOUSEHOLD AGENCY VIA AP
Japan’s Emperor Akihito reads a message Monday at the Imperial Palace that later aired on TV, hinting at his retirement. American and Japanese soldiers who died in vicious fighting there in late 1944. It was only the second time since acceding to the throne in 1989 that Akihito has appeared on television to address the nation — the first was in the weeks following the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan, when he offered a well-received message of sympathy and support. National broadcaster NHK reported last month that Akihito had told the Imperial Household Agency, which manages the emperor’s affairs, that he wished to abdicate “in a few years” because of declining health. The government set up a special team shortly afterward and is considering a law specifically permitting Akihito to step down, according to local media reports. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a staunch supporter of the imperial family, said he listened to the address and would give the issue serious thought.
“We have to thoroughly think what we can do to accommodate his concerns, taking into consideration the emperor’s age and the current burden of official duties,” Abe told reporters. A Kyodo News agency poll last month found that 85% of Japanese favored allowing Akihito to step down. Although Akihito says he is currently “in good health,” he was treated for prostate cancer in 2003 and underwent heart surgery in 2011. In recent years, he has cut back on a schedule that included more than 1,000 meetings and public appearances a year, plus goodwill missions across Japan and the Asia-Pacific region. Akihito and the empress are venerated by many Japanese, and the imperial family remains a popular institution among all age groups. The emperor’s birthday — Dec. 23 — is a national holiday, when tens of thousands gather outside the Imperial Palace to greet the royal couple.

GOP nominee tells supporters he’s ready to ‘jump-start America’ Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY
Donald Trump on Monday offered more of his economic vision, but with few particulars. Trump did tweak the dramatic tax cuts he proposed months ago. He still wants to compress the current seven personal income tax brackets to three. But the rates have been raised to 12%, 25% and 33%, from 10%, 20% and 25%.
The change appears partly aimed at critics that say the overhaul will increase the U.S. deficit by $9.5 trillion over 10 years. But Trump also proposed a new tax credit for child care expenses that could offset any savings, says Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s analytics. Trump reiterated his plan to slash the current 35% corporate tax rate to 15% and chop taxes for small businesses — which mostly pay personal tax rates — to 15% as well, transforming the country from the highest-taxed nation to among the lowest. That should prompt more multinational companies to locate in the U.S. Zandi estimates all the cuts would juice the economy initially, spurring

OPEC MAY RESURRECT TALKS ON FREEZING OIL OUTPUT The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries may resurrect its heretofore futile attempts to freeze petroleum output in a bid to inject life into oil prices. OPEC member countries will hold an informal meeting “on the sidelines” of the International Energy Forum from Sept. 26-28 in Algeria, the organization said Monday in a statement. The meeting comes about a week after oil prices briefly tumbled below $40 per barrel amid renewed fears of a global glut of oil, which had sent the commodity spiraling below $30 per barrel earlier this year before a sharp rebound to above $50 enticed some producers to get back in the game. LOGAN’S ROADHOUSE FILES CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY Nashville-based restaurant chain Logan’s Roadhouse filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday with plans to restructure its operations and close 18 locations. Logan’s said in a statement that its CEO, Sam Borgese, will leave the company, but it was not immediately clear when a replacement would be identified. The steak and Southern-inspired casual dining chain said that it had secured support for its restructuring plan from its first-lien lenders and bondholders and landed up to $25 million in bankruptcy financing.

Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY
Hitting all-time highs isn’t easy with a giant anchor pulling downward. But that’s precisely what the Nasdaq managed to do despite the enormous weight applied by Apple. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index last week notched an all-time high of 5,221.12, topping its previous peak of 5,218.59 set on July 20, 2015, and joined the Standard & Poor’s 500 in record ground. The tech-heavy index pulled back 0.2% Monday, but that doesn’t take away the fact the key index is at never-beforeseen levels even though the most valuable stock in the index, Apple, is down 18% from when the Nasdaq hit its previous high and has shredded $181 billion in paper wealth since then. Other big tech stocks are carrying the slack, and then some. Four Nasdaq stocks associated with tech — Amazon, Google parent Alphabet, Facebook and Microsoft — altogether have added more than $400 billion in paper wealth since the Nasdaq’s former high, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Markets Intelligence. Those gains have erased the Apple hit as well as papered over the big losses posted by biotech stocks such as Gilead Sciences and Biogen. Amazon has added more market value of any other Nasdaq stock since the Nasdaq’s last high to the tune of $136 billion. Investors are pleased to see a broader tech stock rally take hold. The rally “is a really good sign, showing strength in business spending,” says Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank. “It’s good to see a group that should be leading, leading.” Technology is still in the driver’s seat for the Nasdaq, as seven of the 11 best-performing stocks that are up 30% or more since the last peak are all in technology. Technology stocks, measured by the Technology Select Sector SPDR, are up nearly 10% this year — topping the S&P 500’s 6.7% gain. Tech stocks have

Tech profits will probably be up 1.1% in the quarter, much better than the 5.3% decline investors feared back in July, he says. Apple joined in the betterthan-expected earnings rally, but other tech stocks are elbowing it aside. Nvidia, a maker of specialized computer chips used in everything from graphics cards to mobile phones, has been the biggest percentage gainer since the Nasdaq’s last top. Shares have rallied nearly 200% from the Nasdaq’s last high.

Trump has said he would slap China with 45% tariffs if the country doesn’t change its practices as part of an effort to close the trade gap. Tariffs on other countries’ imports likely will cause them to retaliate with hefty duties on U.S. products, hammering U.S. exports and shrinking the economy. It’s unlikely that low-level manufacturing jobs in sectors such as apparel that have shifted overseas will come streaming back while the country’s trade policy remains uncertain, Zandi says. More likely is that the jobs will move to other low-wage countries such as Vietnam. Trump said he will release more details in coming weeks.

Trump did little to explain how the tax reductions would be offset other than suggesting less taxed consumers and businesses will spend and invest more, creating a more vibrant economy. For Trump’s plan to work, substantial spending cuts likely will be necessary, and the billionaire made no mention of that. As a result, both Moody’s and Oxford project the plan would trigger massive deficits and sharply higher interest rates that lead to a recession. On trade, Trump wants to brand China a currency manipulator, stop the country from stealing U.S. intellectual property and force its government to no longer subsidize its exports. Previously,
Walmart will acquire e-commerce start-up Jet.com in a $3 billion cash deal aimed at helping the world’s largest retailer become an online shopping powerhouse that can take on Amazon.com. The deal announced Monday marks the latest move by Walmart, known for breakthroughs in efficiency that have given it a pricing edge across its vast store network, to try to bring the same spirit of innovation to its Web operations. Online sales are still just a fraction of Walmart’s overall business, coming in at $13.6 billion last year out of $482 billion in total revenue. Amazon hit
more than $100 billion in sales in 2015. Walmart is the second-most trafficked retail website in the U.S. behind Amazon. Walmart will keep Jet as a separate brand but plans to tap into Jet’s bulk ordering strategy to grow its e-commerce business at a faster rate and reach more Millennial customers. Jet also appeals to a more affluent shopper than Walmart, with customers more likely to have annual incomes greater than $150,000, according to data from NPD Group. “Walmart.com will grow faster, the seamless shopping experience we’re pursuing will happen quicker, and we’ll enable the Jet brand to be even more successful in a shorter period of time,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in a statement.

Jet sells everything from household goods and groceries to electronics and furniture. It aims to be cheaper than its competitors by using a model that gives a bigger discount when more items are added to an order. Walmart will look into adopting that strategy for its website, spokesman Dan Toporek says. Walmart was drawn to Jet for its philosophical synergies with Walmart’s “everyday low prices” motto. “The customer is even more in charge of the price that they pay,” McMillon said on a call with media Monday. “There’s really an empowerment there for customers that we like.”

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY
It’s Nike vs. Under Armour in the competitive quest for Wall Street-style Olympic gold in Rio. Nike’s swoosh has become synonymous with the Olympic Games and the athletes that wear its apparel and footwear. In fact, in the past eight Olympics since Nike became a public company in the early 1980s, shares of the swoosh brand have posted average gains of nearly 6% during the Olympics — and that first-rate return even factors in a drop of nearly 3% during the Beijing games in 2008 and a 2.6% slide in London in 2012, Bespoke Investment Group data show. But Nike, which is an official Olympic sponsor in Rio this year, will be racing against upstart rival
Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:
Under Armour in the head-tohead race for best stock performance at this year’s Rio games. In its only two head-to-head Olympics stock return competitions, Under Armour fared worse than Nike shares in 2008 in China when its shares fell 3.7%, vs. a drop of 2.9% for Nike. But Under Armour’s 2.9% gain at the London games easily topped Nike’s loss. Under Armour, which gets a key endorsement from U.S. champion swimmer Michael Phelps, is trailing Nike, which will be dressing American athletes on the medal stand, on the first day of trading since the Rio games kicked off Friday night. Under Armour shares fell 0.7% Monday vs. a gain of 0.2% for Nike. It will be fun to see which brand can claim gold in the clash for stock market supremacy during this year’s Olympics.

Trying to level playing field won’t be easy Q: Is Walmart more attractive with Jet? Matt Krantz
mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY
A: Walmart is betting $3.3 billion it can take on Amazon.com on its home turf: online. It has much to prove before investors will buy it. Walmart, the nation’s top retailer, is buying online retailer Jet.com for $3.3 billion. Jet has ramped up its name recognition with consumers and is developing ways to secure discounts on merchandise in a bid to rival Amazon’s retail business. Walmart, which still gets a majority of its business from physical stores, needs to reinvigorate growth, especially with online shoppers. Make no mistake, Amazon’s growth is stellar. The company’s adjusted profit this fiscal year is expected to jump 356% to $5.70 a share, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. Walmart, by comparison, is expected to see a 7.4% decline in adjusted profit this fiscal year. But in some ways, Amazon is opening the door for companies that are more focused on retail. Amazon is increasingly looking to get more business outside of retail, including cloud technology services. If Walmart can focus on retail, there could be an in. Investors aren’t convinced, though. Analysts rate Walmart a “hold” and have an 18-month price target that’s 6% lower than Monday’s closing price.
Barclays reaches $100M settlement in Libor investigation Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY
Barclays Bank PLC has agreed to pay $100 million to settle allegations that its manipulation of a global financial benchmark defrauded government entities and non-profit groups across the U.S. Announced Monday, the settlement includes $93.35 million for restitution to victimized groups that agree to opt in and issue releases to Barclays. The settlement centers on the London Interbank Offered Rate,
NIKLAS HALLE’N, AFP/GETTY IMAGES
known as Libor, a financial standard used to set the rates on trillions of dollars in mortgages, loans, credit cards and complex transactions known as financial swaps. Libor rates are based on estimates of what London-based
representatives of major banks would charge each other for loans in various currencies over multiple time periods. U.S. state authorities alleged Barclays managers told employees to lower their Libor estimates during the global financial crisis. The instructions, from roughly 2007 to 2009, represented an alleged effort to avoid the appearance that Barclays faced financial difficulty and had higher borrowing costs than its competitors. Additionally, the U.S. authorities charged that Barclays’ traders periodically asked the bank’s representatives to change their Libor
submissions from roughly 2005 to 2007, and continuing into at least 2009. The changes were designed to boost profits. U.S.-based entities and nonprofits were defrauded of millions of dollars when they executed financial swaps and other transactions without knowing about the alleged manipulation, authorities charged. “There has to be one set of rules for everyone, no matter how rich or powerful,” New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said. Schneiderman and Connecticut Attorney General George Jep-
sen led a working group of law enforcement counterparts in 41 other states and the District of Columbia that investigated the local impact of suspected Libor manipulation by Barclays and other major banks. Barclays said it was pleased to have resolved the matter. Barclays cooperated with the investigation and is the first of the big banks to reach a settlement with the states. Separately, Barclays in 2012 agreed to a $453 million settlement with U.S. federal authorities and British investigators over alleged Libor manipulation.

ROBERT DEUTSCH, USA TODAY
IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?
Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY
Aliens come to Earth again in the new sci-fi film Arrival, this time with an intimate, thoughtful tale rather than a destructive invasion. Directed by Denis Villeneuve (Sicario) and based on Ted Chiang’s 1998 novella Story of Your Life, the intellectual drama with a genre twist (in theaters Nov. 11) stars Amy Adams as Louise Banks, a linguist hired by the government to decipher an extraterrestrial language when a dozen alien pods pop into the atmosphere and hover mysteriously near the ground. “This isn’t a graphic-novel universe or creating a new universe. This happens in our world today, as it exists,” says Adams, who is in London filming Justice League, in which she reprises her role as Lois Lane. “Not having to transport myself to a universe where superheroes exist, which is also
fun, really helped me ground the character and the experience.” When the vessels arrive, Louise is a damaged woman going through some turmoil in her personal life, Adams says. “She felt real, like somebody I would know and somebody I would like to have a conversation with. Emotionally, the journey she takes in this was devastating to me.” Plus, her character doesn’t trust the policies and protocol of her new gig: “You can tell she’s been down this road before in helping out the government and it’s turned out poorly.” Adams adds, however, that “she absolutely needs this, probably more than she knows.” Brought in to help from a mathematical point of view is physicist Ian Donnelly, played by Jeremy Renner. “I haven’t played a smart nerdy guy,” the Avengers star says. “I thought there was a great challenge in that.” The communication gap between people and extraterrestrials is reflected in the global community depicted in the movie as countries share information while harboring different fears,
Physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner) struggles for answers when alien pods enter Earth’s atmosphere. agendas and political climates. “You see the divide in the unity with people across the world and what that does as well,” Renner says. As far as the aliens’ verbal and written language, “Denis and the team have done a great job with
the visuals and getting to something that looks familiar and not completely abstract,” says Adams, who gets a close encounter when Louise insists on face time with the world’s new out-of-town guests. Filming scenes with the aliens, the actress recalls working with “a very brightly lit white screen with these awesome puppeteers who ran around holding very long poles with big orbs on the end.” Renner promises that they’re “not goofy creatures with guns who are going to kill us.” In fact, Adams adds, their look is “different than what you would have thought.” Arrival feels like “if you blended a (Stanley) Kubrick and a (Steven) Spielberg movie,” Renner says, and instead of a “big Michael Bay alien movie,” the new film is more along the lines of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Contact. “If you’re a parent, it’s going to wreck you,” he says. “It’s big and there are thriller elements and tension, but it’s going to lean much more into a thinking person’s film.”

Children are more resilient than we think. That’s a message Jacqueline Woodson has delivered for more than BOOK two decades across REVIEW many books for young readers, including her National Book Award-winning Brown Girl Dreaming. So what changes when she writes a grown-up one? With her second novel for adults, the lyrical Another Brooklyn (Amistad, 175 pp., eeeE out of four), Woodson remains on message — it’s a story about adolescence as a feat of survival. What’s different is the host of challenges the book’s hero faces, and Woodson’s sophistication in depicting them. The novel’s narrator is August, who is 8 years old in 1973 when she arrives in New York with her father and younger brother, a black family in white-flight Brooklyn. Mom is back in Tennessee, August is told, because
she’s distraught from her brother’s death in Vietnam. It’s a halftruth, which is just one way Dad tries to shield her. But August is sick of being shielded, experiencing the city from her apartment’s window. So is her brother, who pushes against a window till it breaks and cuts him. That shattered glass is a potent metaphor for both a youthful urge to explore and the lurking dangers of the streets. Similar sweet-andsour imagery runs throughout August’s streetwise observations: “In the deep heat of summer, we watched as kids circled around the heroin addicts, takJUNA F.

To navigate this difficult and somber follower of the Nation of dramatic period — the novel fol- Islam, August only gets a sense of
conflictedness for her trouble. “I pressed my legs tight together, draped baggy shirts over my new breasts, and promised her I’d remain the sacred being Allah had created. But I was lying.” In her YA novels, Woodson skillfully explores the way one particular challenge shapes a character: drugs (Beneath a Meth Moon), homosexuality (The House You Pass on the Way), interracial dating (If You Come Softly). The language in Another Brooklyn isn’t much more complex, and Woodson sticks to brief episodic scenes. But it’s a much more dynamic book, alert to the confluences of dramas that a teen absorbs all at once, from racism to sexual abuse to the loss of family members. For all the tough lessons she delivers, though, Woodson also writes with a consistent warmth and compassion. August contemplates her teen years from the distance of adulthood, so we know she survived. But Woodson keenly understands how hard feelings linger: “When you’re fifteen, pain skips over reason, aims right for marrow,” August observes. Another Brooklyn captures the intensity of that pain — and the complex, aching nostalgia it can inspire.

WALKING and TALKING Stoic Sundays program exercises body and soul

hen J. Jenkins launched his weekly walking group, “Stoic Sundays,” last spring, one of the early taglines was “Take a walk on the mild side.” The fitness program isn’t the first to emerge from Jenkins’ store, Ad Astra Running, he says, but it is the first — and only, presumably — to incorporate ancient Greek philosophy into its weekly routes. And, unlike other Ad Astra groups, it’s geared specifically toward those who otherwise might not seek out more strenuous exercise. “Honestly, it’s tied to our goal at the store of helping make a difference in the community,” Jenkins says. “There’s a large section of our local community that either isn’t interested in running or for whatever reason is prevented from running, or maybe they’re interested in it but it seems like something so far beyond them that they’re intimidated by it.” So, when Jenkins and his team were in the process of moving Ad Astra to its new location at 734

Massachusetts St. a few months back, he began to develop an outreach strategy. The solution, it turned out, lay in Jenkins’ longtime interest in Stoicism, which he studied as a religion and philosophy major at the University of Tulsa. The premise behind Stoic Sundays is simple: Get folks talking, and get them moving in the process.
Although Jenkins will usually prepare some talking points beforehand, there’s no homework or reading list for participants. The ancient Stoics, Jenkins likes to point out, didn’t meet in a classroom setting, but instead would hold their discussions while walking. Stoic Sundays has been on hiatus for about a month due to this sum-

stresses) to the riverside trail at Burcham Park, for example, or East Lawrence’s Burroughs Creek Trail. The health benefits offered through walking are numerous: weight maintenance, prevention and management of conditions such as heart disease and high blood pressure, improved balance and coordination, and the strengthening of bones and muscles, just to name a few. For those who have long been sedentary, older folks and the chronically ill among them, it’s an easily accessible (and free) starting point on the road to better health, Jenkins says. “If you’re not getting up and moving around, you’re creating a situation where it’s going to be harder and harder to do so in the future,” he says. “Even if it’s just a very humble start, just to get up and do a little bit of walking, you’re laying the foundation for that next walk where you might walk a little bit farther ... You’re building each week.” Looking back, Jenkins realizes that the times in his life where he’s been most content have cor-
. related with periods of being active and reading the Stoic texts that have moved and inspired him since his college days. He hopes to build a like-minded community here in Lawrence. While Stoic Sundays have been mostly small affairs so far, Jenkins says he’d like to increase membership by reaching out to local senior centers or, say, the cardiac rehabilitation program at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. And, while he didn’t start out to create a fitness group for senior citizens, Jenkins, 43, now calls the idea “a perfect match.” “I wanted to have something for the walkers,” he says. “And, I also think possibly the idea of the deeper conversations might be more appealing to folks that have lived longer lives and are drawing from a deeper well of experience.” For more information on Stoic Sundays — including updates about meet-up times — visit Ad Astra Running on Facebook or sign up for the store’s email list at www.adastrarunning. com.

There should be no box score in honesty I try to be an honest person. I am beginning to feel as though that is a fault in my character. I don’t ‘’mis-recall’’ events of the past. I don’t make up someone else’s words or attitudes to make my narrative more interesting to my listener. I don’t invent some past wrongdoing to excuse my behavior.

Musical chairs with shoulder pads, tackles The weather outside is gruesome. Let’s play football! “Hard Knocks” (9 p.m., HBO, TV-MA) enters its 11th season. In many ways, this football franchise has grown up with the reality TV era. It offers a documentarystyle look at intense competition as veteran players fight to keep their jobs and rookies attempt to make the team while rosters get cut on a week-by-week basis. It’s musical chairs, with shoulder pads and real tackles! T h i s year, a 30-person team from NFL Films and HBO descends on Southern California for a bit of a Hollywood homecoming. This season’s focus on the Los Angeles Rams also celebrates the return of an NFL team to Los Angeles for the first time in 22 years. The Los Angeles Rams were an early part of the NFL and played in that city from 1946 to 1979 before decamping for nearby Anaheim in Orange County. The club departed for St. Louis in 1995, leaving Los Angeles, one of the largest cities (and TV markets) in America without a professional football team. The league has been trying to remedy that situation for years, if not decades. Many commissioners looked on in frustration as cities like Nashville, Tampa Bay, Charlotte and Houston acquired and reacquired football teams instead of the City of Angels. O A friend who recently took his two boys to see the 2015 animated feature “The Peanuts Movie” (8:30 p.m., HBO2) reported back that his kids loved it; it was perfectly pleasant and because it was so “happy,” it was totally wrong in every way. It’s rather understandable that those trying to re-market “Peanuts” for a new generation might dilute it of its essential sadness and angst. One generation’s cultural touchstones tend to lose their power once they become mere “brands.” Did kids in the 1980s singing “The sun will come out tomorrow” really understand what “Little Orphan Annie” meant to Depression-era funny pages readers? And while Netflix’s “Beat Bugs” cartoon makes liberal use of Beatles music, “selling” it to a younger audience, it does so in the most insipid way possible. There’s a reason why the word “pabulum” can be defined as either lightweight entertainment or bland baby food. Tonight’s other highlights

KU still closing gap with Big 12 Kansas football coach David Beaty looks up in the sky on a cloudy day and expresses gratitude for the pockets of sun. Beaty never dreamed he would earn $800,000 a year to coach football, so he views that as a reason for gratitude rather than focusing on the fact that, until Baylor fired Art Briles, the KU coach was making less than half the salary of the ninth-highest paid coach in the 10-team Big 12. So every time Beaty talks, keep in mind he views things sunny-side up and put his words through the proper filter. That’s part of why it was so refreshing to hear Beaty’s candid response to the question of whether his football team is at a “Big 12 competitive level.” The second-year head coach’s credibility hung in the air until he responded. “We’re not there yet, but we’re a lot closer than we were,” Beaty said. The first half of that response lends so much credibility to the second half. Other than more deeply alienating a fan base that has stayed away in droves in recent years, saying the Jayhawks were Big 12-ready would have served no purpose. Kansas football fans have had so much smoke blown in their faces in the form of Dayne Crist and Jake Heaps, Marquel Combs and Chris Martin, etc., they have morphed into human smoke detectors whose batteries never run low (beeping annoyingly until a ladder is found and scaled and electrocution somehow is avoided.) Beaty’s in the second year of a no-guarantees rebuilding job and faces another brutal schedule. Most of the apparent strides Beaty’s staff have made won’t pay off yet. Football recruiting, more than any other sport, delays gratification. That doesn’t mean the progress isn’t authentic. Strength and conditioning coach Je’Ney Jackson did a nice job of illustrating how Beaty and his staff have upgraded the program by recruiting faster skill players and stronger linemen. Jackson returned in January 2015 to the program where he first worked for Mark Mangino as the man charged with increasing team speed. Jackson said that in his first spring back, just three remaining players were clocked at 4.59 or better in a 40-yard sprint. This summer, Jackson said, 42 players met or exceeded that standard and nine were freshmen. (The times are tracked with hand-held stop watches, so they tend to be a little on the fast side.) Keep in mind that spring football squads are smaller because most freshmen don’t arrive until June and

Tour of
teamwork KU hopes to build chemistry in Europe games By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com
The Kansas women’s basketball squad will get a taste of international competition and culture over the next week and a half, with four exhibition games in France and Switzerland. “I don’t think the players could be any more excited. There is just a tremendous enthusiasm to go and experience a different culture in two separate countries,” KU coach Brandon Schneider said. “It’s a chance to do some touristy things, and there is also the element of playing
four games over there. As coaches, we were really excited about the opportunity that we had to get in 10 days of practice in preparation.” The Jayhawks will play friendlies at four sites — two in France and two in Switzerland — during their 10-day tour. KU will play Aug. 11 and 12 against the AMW All-Stars, Aug. 14 against Sion Select and will wrap up the trip on Aug. 16 against Nice Select. Those teams are primarily composed of professionals and national team members, according to Schneider. Along with the high-caliber competition, the Jay-
hawks will have to adjust to playing under FIBA rules, which include a 24-second shot clock instead of the NCAA’s 30 seconds per possession. “My big focus has been, ‘Can we spend 10 days together really building some chemistry and some bonds

Kansas football striving for special teams success By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com
Amid his ongoing efforts to rebuild the Kansas football program, second-year coach David Beaty often cites the significance of special teams success in speeding up a turnaround. At meetings and practices, the first words out of the KU coaches’ mouths have to do with special teams and the urgency the players must have in the
so-called hidden part of the game. Before Monday’s fifth preseason practice (the first in full pads), Beaty felt good about the state of KU’s specialists, and gave new assistant coach Joe DeForest credit for making that possible. A former assistant at both Oklahoma State and West Virginia, DeForest has a history of Big 12 success that his new boss loves, and it’s rare for
Beaty to speak with media members without singing the praises of KU’s special teams coordinator. “The thing I really love about watching him is how well he interacts with those specialists, the amount of work and training he’s put into that,” Beaty said this past weekend. “No wonder those guys have been really good. He’s had good kickers everywhere he’s been.

Allen Fieldhouse vying for toughest venue title By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com
Nick Krug/Journal-World File Photo
KENTUCKY PLAYERS MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE COURT before tipoff of their game against Kansas, Jan. 30, 2016 at Allen Fieldhouse.
During the past couple of weeks, the college basketball crew at ESPN.com asked America to determine the most difficult venue in college basketball by voting in a series of online polls. First, they broke it down by conference, seeking ini-
tially to identify the toughest arena in each of the top 10 conferences. To no one’s surprise, Kansas’ Allen Fieldhouse ran away with the Big 12 crown, earning 50 percent of the vote, the highest percentage of any of the winners.

BRIEFLY Columbia, Mo. — Missouri is set to hire San Diego State athletic director Jim Sterk as its new AD. San Diego State announced Monday night that Sterk had resigned after six years with the school and would take over at Missouri on Sept. 1. The school said it will launch a national search for a replacement. The 60-year-old Sterk will replace Mack Rhoades, who recently left for Baylor. Missouri’s board of curators will meet tonight, presumably to approve the hire. The meeting will include a closed executive session. Sterk was recently honored as the AD of the year by National Association of College Director of Athletics and was selected to the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee. He’s in his seventh year at San Diego State, and in that time 50 teams have advanced to NCAA Tournament play. “Jim has made extraordinary contributions to the success of SDSU’s athletics teams,” school president Elliott Hirshman said. “I am grateful to Jim and his family for their service to the university community and wish them great success in their new endeavor.” Missourinet.com was first to announce the hire. Sterk was previously athletic director at Washington State from 2000-10 and at Portland State from 1995-2000. San Diego State hired as Jenny Bramer interim AD.

SERENA WILLIAMS SCREAMS during her 7-6 (5), 6-2 victory over Alize Cornet of France during a women’s tennis match Monday in Rio de Janeiro. against unbeaten Australia. The Aussies, featuring five NBA players, four of them league champions, improved to 2-0 on Monday with an impressive 95-80 win over Serbia. Australia has never won an Olympic medal in men’s basketball, but Krzyzewski knows the team from Down Under will be up for the Americans. “I don’t think they’ve gone back to their boat or apartment or wherever they’re staying thinking they can’t beat us,” the coach said. Anthony, the four-team Olympian and two-time gold medalist playing in his record 25th game for the United States, provided a much-needed spark in the second quarter. There were a couple of notable firsts on the third full day of competition: Rafaela Silva captured host Brazil’s initial gold medal of the Rio Games and fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad became the only American
ever to compete in the Olympics wearing a hijab. American Lilly King won a trash-talking duel with Russian Yulia Efimova for the gold medal in the 100-meter breaststroke on Monday night, and Serena Williams struggled before beating France’s Alize Cornet 7-6 (5), 6-2 in her bid for a second consecutive singles gold medal. Silva, who grew up on one of Rio’s hillside shanty towns, won judo’s 57-kilogram division, then, overwhelmed with emotion, performed the Brazilian version of the Green Bay Packers’ “Lambeau Leap” to celebrate with her compatriots Monday. It was, at the least, a momentary reprieve for the host country bracing for what once seemed unthinkable: an early exit by its men’s soccer team from the Olympic tournament. Brazil finds itself needing a victory against Denmark to advance and avoid another huge embarrassment two years after a demoralizing 7-1 loss to Germany in the semifinals of the World Cup. Brazilian fans aren’t just booing their men’s soccer team. After months of dire predictions from abroad about the mosquito-borne Zika virus, some locals are doing some stinging of their own: They’re jeering U.S. athletes and taunting them over the fears that kept some competitors away from South America’s first Olympics. In the women’s sabre tournament, Muhammad, sporting a plain black Muslim head scarf under a red, white and blue mask, was a winner in her opening bout before bowing out. A New Jersey native who started fencing in part because the uniform allowed her to adhere to the tenets of her faith, Muhammad also competes in the team event later this week.

Beaty: Willis early leader of KU QB pack The ongoing preseason camp battle for the job of starting quarterback at Kansas might not be over, but head coach David Beaty indicated Monday an early leader has emerged. A couple days after pointing to sophomore Ryan Willis as the first to really stand out at the position, Beaty said the Overland Park native who started the final eight games for KU a year ago didn’t show any signs
of a letdown over the weekend. “The last two practices, Ryan has continued to probably be the one who just has a slight edge in practice,” Beaty said Monday morning, prior to KU’s first practice in full pads. “He’s not the starting quarterback yet. We’re not anointing that. He just has had the better days, production wise.” As usual, Beaty also highlighted characteristics of the other quarterbacks, too, this time touting red-shirt freshman Carter Stanley’s develop-
opportunity for transfer guards McKenzie Calvert and Jessica Washington to become more familiar with their new teammates. Schneider is also excited to see more growth out of his sophomore class — which includes Kylee Kopatich, Tyler Johnson, Jayde Christopher, Chelsea Lott and Aisia Robertson. “All of those freshmen are a year older,” Schneider said. “They are so much closer to finishing our sentences as coaches compared to a year ago when they were hearing things for the first time. Just the development of
understanding what our philosophy is and our terminology, and I think we’ve grown leaps and bounds.” All of the upperclassmen on Schneider’s squad are looking forward to the chance to play overseas as well. Junior Chayla Cheadle will join seniors Jada Brown, Timeka O’Neal, Sydney Benoit and Caelynn Manning-Allen as the most experienced Jayhawks making the trip. For Cheadle, this will be her first trip overseas. The 6-foot junior is ready to hit the hardwood in Europe, but she also hopes
to make the most of the tour with her teammates off the court as well. “I’m looking forward to seeing everything, shopping, trying new food, so it’s pretty exciting,” Cheadle said. Cheadle and the Jayhawks had their final practice Monday morning prior to their international flight. “We’ve been practicing for 10 days, and those days have been pretty long,” Cheadle said after the team’s practice. “We’re just excited. We have a new group of girls and are just looking forward to bonding with each other.”
consistently was blown up during an 0-12 2015 season. “Our strength did not match our size,” Jackson said. “We had some really big guys who were really weak. We had several offensive linemen who couldn’t bench 315. And they Jackson weighed 300-plus pounds themselves, and that’s an issue. That’s a big issue there. When that defensive lineman is more powerful than you, it’s hard to drop that anchor and stop his rush. So we had to make sure
we attacked it and just had a total strength gain with our team.” Jackson stayed in lockstep with Beaty in talking about the strides made and the huge gap that still needs to be closed. “One, all of our returning offensive linemen except for one is 300plus pounds, so that in itself helps,” Jackson said, supplying evidence of progress. “Two, they all bench-press over 315 pounds. That’s still not nearly where we want to be, but it’s so much further than where we were. We’ve also got guys that coaches are recruiting that are coming in benching over 300 pounds. That in itself helps so much in doing what I do.”
ton, on Monday recalled the horror of learning this past February of a mass shooting that left four people dead in his hometown. “Immediately I’m thinking about the high school,” said Schadler, who was in Lawrence going through offseason football work at the time, “because my mom is the high school c o u n s e lor there. A lot of Schadler close people there. So I sprinted aside worried, looked it up and saw it. That Excel plant is right next to the high school. It was bad. It affected the community greatly, but they are definitely a strong community.” Schadler said both of his parents, Melvin and Donna, were in Hesston at the time and shared Schadler recalls with him accounts of the Hesston tragedy bizarre scene, which inSchadler, who twice cluded emergency vehiearned all-state honors as cles swarming the small a running back at Hess- town’s streets.
Miracles aren’t wasted on college football teams and nobody’s claiming one is about to be unveiled in Lawrence. “We’re not there. We’re not there in any area yet,” Beaty said. “We’re a work in progress and we’ll continue to be that through our entire time here. But we are still working the plan and that plan is to continue to work every day to get bigger, stronger, faster. Yes, I’m excited because we’re stronger and faster, but we’re not where we need to be yet totally as a team.” As long as Kansas gets a little closer to respectability every year — no easy challenge — empty St. Joseph, Mo.

and improving relationships?’” Schneider said. “My hope is that the time spent over there is that everybody becomes a better teammate, and on the court obviously you want to gel and see some of the things that we’ve been practicing hopefully put into play.” While Schneider won’t have any freshmen to work into the mix, he thinks the four games overseas will be a good

the seniors aren’t part of the workouts. Still, that’s a remarkable upgrade and Jackson is quick to point out the major reason for it. “That right there, that’s how you change the speed of your team,” Jackson said, pointing to the nine freshmen hitting the mark. “When you have guys coming in who are fast, I can make them faster, but when they are already coming in fast, man that’s a big help to me.” Jackson also quantified the strides made up front, where Kansas

His place kickers have been good. His punters have been good. That doesn’t just accidentally happen. That guy does a nice job, a nice job. His organization is topnotch. He’s on top of all the situations.” When KU opened Monday’s practice with its field-goal unit, both senior Matthew Wyman and junior transfer Gabriel Rui took reps kicking the ball through the uprights. While Wyman handled punting duties, as well, last year, the practices ahead will determine whether one of the newcomers — freshman Kyle Thompson or junior Cole Moos — will take over. “We have a new kid here, the Thompson kid, that can hit it now,” Beaty said. “I mean, he can hit it. There’s a few that can hit it. I don’t want to anoint any of them yet. We’ve got some great competi-

Now it’s on to the next round, where ESPN is asking the nation to decide which of those 10 arenas is the toughest. The 10 winners by conference were: Allen Fieldhouse (Big 12), Duke’s
tion there. Most of them are new faces.” As far as returners go, KU’s head coach said receiver LaQuvionte Gonzalez, who played for Beaty at Texas A&M before moving on to Lawrence, will answer a lot of questions — both on kickoffs and punts. Beaty also identified senior safety Fish Smithson and sophomore receiver Steven Sims Jr. as possible punt returners, and noted sophomore running back Ryan Schadler, a surprise bright spot during KU’s 0-12 2015, should again figure into kickoff returns. “But he’s gonna be challenged now,” Beaty said of Schadler, the former Wichita State sprinter who scored a 91-yard touchdown against South Dakota State and led Kansas on the season with 33 returns, averaging 22.7 yards, “because there’s some talented guys back there.”
Monday afternoon, Allen Fieldhouse led in total votes (2,750) and was tied at the top with Cameron Indoor Stadium at 21 percent. Rupp Arena (2,387, 19 percent) and Assembly Hall (2,166, 17) rounded out the top four. None of the other six venues had reached the four-digit mark. No timeline was given for the poll, which is cur-
ment, and the dual-threat abilities of red-shirt junior Montell Cozart and true freshman Tyriek Starks. Once again, the head coach, who also coaches the QBs, stated his case for having patience on the matter of naming a starter. “I think to be fair to ’em, to be honest with you, is to make the right decision,” Beaty said when asked if he had a timetable. “So we’re gonna take as much time as we need to do that and make sure we’ve seen the body of work we need.” Willis missed out on
taking live snaps during spring football because of a broken right wrist. “Today’s gonna be a big day for us, ‘cause we’re gonna get after it a little bit,” Beaty said before Monday’s afternoon session. “We’re gonna go live in the second half of practice and there’s gonna be blitzes coming at ya. A lot of people look good in underwear when they’re out there running around and nobody can hit you, so this’ll be a good day for us to make some progress as far as who’s doing what.”
Selden signs as free agent with NBA’s Grizzlies J-W Staff Reports
The Memphis Grizzlies on Monday announced the signing of free agent guard Wayne Selden Jr., who went undrafted following his junior season at Kansas. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Selden, who played part of the 2015-16 season with a torn meniscus, missed several pre-draft workouts and was unable to play in summer league games with the Grizzlies because of a procedure to repair the tear. Despite signing, Selden is not a lock to the make the Grizzlies’ NBA roster this season. Given Memphis’ depth at the wing position — the Grizzlies already have Tony Allen, Troy
Daniels and Jordan Adams at shooting guard, and Chandler Parsons, James Ennis and Vince Carter at small forward — it’s possible he could spend time playing in the Developmental League. Either way, the signing is a big step for Selden, who admitted to being disappointed after the draft but quickly refocused his mindset. “Growing up coming where I’m from, all we wanted was an opportunity, a chance and the Memphis Grizzlies did just that by giving me a chance,” Selden tweeted a couple of weeks after the lateJune draft, when he learned the Grizzlies wanted him for their summer league squad.
Chiefs depth chart has few surprises been making enough plays that it would hardly be a surprise to see him climb. Demetrius Harris appears to have a slight edge on Ross Travis at the second tight end spot. The only surprise along the offensive line was more like an affirmation: rookie Parker Ehinger has been impressive throughout camp and was listed with the starts at left guard. Another rookie, defensive end Chris Jones, is backing up Jay Howard on the opposite line. Dontari Poe and Allen Bailey return from last season at the other two starting spots. The linebacker situation is still fluid, though. Houston’s injury means that former first-round pick Dee Ford will get his opportunity in the spotlight. He has been inconsistent — some might say ineffective — during his first two seasons, rarely playing at all as a rookie and making just 5 1/2 sacks his first two seasons. Safety Daniel Sorensen could just as well say the same thing. He made the team a couple years ago as an undrafted free agent, and has slowly earned more playing time. But he’s due to get a whole lot of it if Berry refuses to sign his franchise tender.
Kansas State vs. Tennessee, Texas Tech vs. LSU, Iowa State at Vanderbilt, Oklahoma State vs. Arkansas, Baylor at Mississippi and TCU vs. Auburn. The Big 12 owns a 20-10 advantage in the head-to-head challenge with the SEC and has won the showdown in each of the first three years.
