Wichita — Fewer people who graduate from a Kansas college or university are choosing to stay in Kansas over the long run, prompting concerns about the prospect of a “brain drain” out of the state, the Kansas Board of Regents heard Wednesday.

Flanders addressed the board Wednesday during its annual retreat, which is being held this year in Wichita. The annual events are designed to allow the board to focus on long-range plans and strategic goals for the state’s higher education system as a whole.

One of the board’s strategic goals is to align the higher education system with the economic needs of Kansas. And one of the ways that’s measured is by the number of graduates who end up getting long-term employment in Kansas. > GRADS, 5A

County budget approved with no comment from public

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

At Wednesday’s Douglas County Commission meeting, there was more public comment about a couple of consent agenda items than there was during a public hearing on the county’s 2017 budget.

The $83.7 million 2017 budget, which commissioners hashed out in three work sessions last month, was approved unanimously, with no public com-

But two items on consent agenda spur complaints ment. Among its new spending COUNTY measures are COMMISSION $1.27 million to create an ambulance service in Eudora, more than $400,000 to offset state funding cuts and $273,179 for five additional Douglas County Jail corrections officers for the overcrowded facility.

The budget raises the property tax levy to 44.098 mills, a 3-mill increase from the current year.

A mill raises $1 of revenue for every $1,000 of assessed valuation. At 44.098 mills, the county’s share of property taxes on $100,000 of appraised value on a residential home would be $507.

After the budget was approved,

Commissioner Jim Flory made the meeting’s only statement on it.

“We positioned ourselves well, I think, in providing a safety net, which as I have expressed before I am frustrated we have to provide,” he said. “But we do, we will and we have.”

Earlier in the meeting, however, at the request of county resident Matthew Conklin,

Education officials: Campuses face wide range of security concerns

From racial protests and concealed carry laws, to sexual harassment and the tone of this year’s presidential election, higher education officials in Kansas are saying campuses need to be prepared to deal with a wide range of security issues.

That was just one of the topics that the Kansas Board of Regents discussed Wednesday with CEOs of the state’s six Regents universities during the board’s annual retreat.

“Security issues on campuses date back to the 1960s,” said Regents general counsel Julene Miller, referring to anti-war and civil rights protests of that era that frequently turned violent.

More recently, though, Miller said the Board of Regents

Topeka — The Kansas Corporation Commission has further restricted the amount of oilfield wasterwater that can be injected underground in southern Kansas in the hopes of further reducing the number of earthquakes in the region.

Earlier restrictions led to a drop in earthquakes, mostly in Harper and Sumner counties, experts said. During a meeting Tuesday, the commission left in place an 8,000-barrel per day limit in five of the most quake-prone areas of those two counties. But it put a 16,000-barrel per day limit on the rest of those two counties and parts of Kingman, Sedgwick and Butler counties, The Wichita Eagle reported.

Commissioner Shari Feist Albrecht filed a dissenting opinion favoring even stronger restrictions. She agreed with the KCC staff, which wanted to limit dumping to 12,000 barrels a day, saying she believes the 16,000-barrel limit “would do little to change the status quo and provide minimal data from which to draw any conclusions about the small-earthquake trend.”

The order calls for continued monitoring of earthquakes and wastewater disposal.

The restrictions could be further reduced if the 16,000-barrel limit proves ineffective, Apple said.

“We’ll have data that we currently do not have over the next six months,” Apple said.

“And at that time we may decide to lower it to 14; we may decide to lower it to 12.”

The boy’s parents — Republican state Rep. Scott Schwab and his wife, Michele — have not spoken publicly since the death. His funeral is scheduled for Friday.

Verrückt —which in German means “insane” — featured multi-person rafts that make a 168-foot drop at speeds of up to 70 mph, followed by a surge up a hump and a 50-foot descent to a finishing pool. Since the accident, investigators have removed netting that was held in place by supports above the 50-foot section from the hump to the finishing pool.

Riders, who must be at least 54 inches tall, were harnessed with two nylon seatbelt-like straps — one that crossed the rider’s lap, the other stretching diagonally like a car shoulder seatbelt. Each strap was held in place by long Velcro-style straps, not by buckles. Riders would hold ropes inside the raft.

The park reopened Wednesday except for a large section that includes the waterslide, although its

curring more frequently in southern Kansas and Oklahoma in 2013 after an increase of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in which high-pressure liquid is used to fracture subsurface rock to free trapped pockets of oil and gas.

The Kansas Geological Survey determined that fracking wasn’t causing the earthquakes but said the practice of injecting oilfield wastewater into rock formations underground was a likely cause. Underground water upsets the balance between layers of rock deep underground, causing that rock to shift and generating the tremors felt on the surface.

About 16 barrels of wastewater comes up for each barrel of oil produced in Kansas. The wastewater is too polluted with oil and salt to be disposed of at ground level.

Any violation of the disposal limit or record-keeping requirements could result in a $10,000-a-day fine and shutdown and sealing of the well.

towering profile greeted visitors when they drove through the entrance. Access to the Verrückt was blocked by a 7-foot-high wooden fence.

On a hot, midweek day, the park was doing a steady business although there were no lines for other rides.

Schlitterbahn spokeswoman Winter Prosapio told The Associated Press outside the park’s entrance Wednesday that the company was not discussing Sunday’s tragedy out of respect for the family. She also said that she could not offer immediate perspective about how Wednesday’s turnout compared with typical attendance.

“We didn’t know if we’d get five people, 15 people. But this is affirming,” she said.

Pulling a cooler behind her, 42-year-old Sara Craig said she was a bit uneasy bringing her 14-year-old son, Cale, and one of his 13-year-old friends to the park Wednesday.

“I feel guilty having fun when a family is hurting so badly,” she said.

She said the family rode Verrückt twice in one day a couple of weeks ago. She remembered a short video they were required to watch,

Budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The first measure authorized 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. The negotiated contract also requires the school district to pay the county $500,000 for the old public works yard.

The county sought the exchange with the goal of constructing the proposed mental health crisis intervention center on part of the school district’s maintenance yard.

The property is north of the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center and west of property Bert Nash owns on Second Street.

Conklin said his objection to the County Commission’s consideration of the exchange was the same one that he and others raised in June regarding the awarding of a contract to Treanor Architects to do additional work on the proposed expansion of

the Douglas County Jail. It was, Conklin said, another instance of “getting the cart before the horse.”

In dismissing the objection, Commissioner Jim Flory cited comments he made when the exchange was discussed last month. As a member of the county team who negotiated the exchange, one of his interests was that the new county property serve a public need even if county voters didn’t approve a referendum providing financing for the county jail expansion and construction of a crisis intervention center.

“We did not go into this without consideration of what could be done there if the voting public did not approve the jail expansion or the crisis intervention center,” he said. “That’s been

though she didn’t recall that it included any caveats about peril.

Craig said that during her first trip down the ride with her son and one of his friends, her shoulder restraint came off, something she opted not to report to park workers.

“I didn’t think much about it,” she said. “You don’t think you’re gonna die.”

So they rode it again, only to see the restraint on her son’s friend also come loose by the time it was over.

She said the ride’s operators sent them down the slide even though their combined weight was 393 pounds — shy of the 400 weight minimum the park advertises as a requirement. Craig described the ride as “very, very rough,” so much so that “when I got off, my head hurt.”

The water park passed a private inspection in June that included Verrückt, according to a document released by a Kansas state agency.

The Kansas Department of Labor provided

to The Associated Press on Wednesday a copy of an insurance company inspector’s June 7 letter saying inspections had been completed.

The letter said all rides met guidelines for being insured with “no disqualifying conditions noted.”

But it added: “this survey reflects the conditions observed or found at the time of the inspection only, and does not certify safety or integrity of the rides and attractions, physical operations or management practices at any time in the future.”

The inspector did not immediately reply to email and telephone messages seeking additional details.

Kansas law requires rides to be inspected annually by the parks, and the state randomly audits the records. The last records audit for Schlitterbahn was June 2012.

Ken Martin, a Richmond, Virginia-based amusement park safety consultant, questioned whether the straps were appropriate, suggesting

thoroughly considered.”

Commissioner Mike Gaughan and County Administrator Craig Weinaug added that the exchange had been before the public for some time. It was assumed the property would be available during the public architectural design workshops on the crisis intervention center that started in February, and the exchange was discussed at a County Commission meeting last month, they said.

With that, commissioners approved the exchange 3-0. Weinaug said the Lawrence school board will consider the contract later this month. The Lawrence City Council must also approve the rezoning for the 23rd Street property for the district’s planned uses, he said The $500,000 the coun-

that a more solid restraint system that fits over the body — similar to those used in roller coasters — may have been better.

In early tests, rafts carrying sandbags flew off the slide, prompting engineers to tear down half the ride and reconfigure some angles. A promotional video about building the slide includes footage of two men riding a raft down a half size test model and going slightly airborne as it crests the top of the first big hill.

“I think ... they figured since stuff was flying out, we better do something to keep people from flying out,” said Martin, who has not seen or tested the ride. “I think we have a serious issue with the restraint system. Period.”

Homemade fruit pies are available all three nights.

Another taste treat is Saturday’s homemade ice cream contest, Julie Craig said. Those in attendance can have a serving of the entries at 7 p.m., she said.

While her husband grew up with the fair, Julie Craig said she never attended the event while growing up in Baldwin City.

“My first Vinland Fair was after we got married,” she said. “It’s been a blessing. We love it some much. We are going to do our best to keep it going forever.”

ty is to receive in the exchange would be placed in its capital improvement project fund, Weinaug said. The county would not receive the money until next year, he said.

As for the second item, Conklin and Jesse Brinson Jr., who last week filed as an independent candidate for the 2nd District County Commission seat, wondered what AJW Consulting, of Kansas City, Mo., would provide for the $5,000 a month it would receive from the county for at least six months.

Gaughan said the contract was a way of testing whether his call for a county public information officer was justified. As explained in a memo to commissioners, the contract would require AJW to train staff in and help with such things as media, crisis, internal and external communications. The firm would also evaluate the need for a county-funded public information officer.

That measure, too, was approved 3-0.

Jon Rust, a professor of textile engineering at North Carolina State University, said the material used on the straps, commonly called hook and loop, isn’t designed to keep a person in the seat. It also can degrade with use.

“It’s got to be used in a safe manner, and that doesn’t include stopping someone’s fall or preventing someone’s ejection,” Rust said.

Matite officially named Eudora city manager

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

Barack Matite now has the title of Eudora city manager without the interim qualifier.

Matite and the Eudora City Commission made the transition formal after an executive session that concluded Monday’s Matite City Commission meeting.

The Eudora City Commission named Matite interim city manager in February, when Gary Ortiz

Grads CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

From 2010 to 2014, Flanders said, the percentage of Kansas college graduates who are employed in Kansas within one year of completion has remained relatively flat, while the number who remain employed here five years after graduation has been declining.

And that is true for all types of post-secondary graduates, whether they earn certificates at a technical college, an associate’s degree at a community college, or a four-year bachelor’s degree from one of the six Regents universities.

But those earning bachelor’s and graduate degrees are the most likely to leave the state, Flanders said.

In 2014, fewer than half (47 percent) of the people who’d earned bachelor’s degrees five years ear-

campuses and to make recommendations on how to improve them.

It then set up a standing committee to meet each year with representatives from each campus to receive updates on how those recommendations are being implemented.

The job of that committee got even larger in recent years when the Kansas Legislature passed a bill requiring local governments and higher education institutions to begin allowing people to carry concealed handguns in public buildings by 2017.

Even more recently, though, a growing number of criminal complaints about sexual attacks on campuses, and lawsuits alleging violations of Title IX requirements, are prompting officials to take additional measures to protect women and minorities from violence on campus.

The University of Kansas is a defendant in at least one such federal lawsuit, as is Kansas State University. In fact, Regent Shane Bangerter said, there have been enough lawsuits in Kansas that Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office has asked the board to come up with a policy for determining which cases will be referred to his office and which ones will be handled by the schools’ in-house counsel or by outside counsel.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said she did not know how many Title IX lawsuits the university is currently involved in, but she said KU is still handling them through in-house counsel.

stepped down because he was unable to fulfill the position’s residency requirements.

Matite came to Eudora four years ago as an intern with the University of Kansas master’s program in public administration. He was subsequently hired as assistant to the city manager and then promoted to assistant city manager.

“The City Commission has the utmost confidence in Barack’s abilities,” said Eudora Mayor Tim Reazin. “He

has progressed into the position. He has a very bright future with us and after us. If he uses this opportunity to grow and move to something bigger, it will be a great thing.”

Leslie Herring was hired to the position of assistant to the city manager in June. Matite said she would remain in that position and the position of assistant city manager would remain unfilled and unfunded.

lier were still employed in Kansas, Flanders said.

That was down from 52 percent four years earlier.

People earning master’s and doctoral degrees have had even more difficulty finding jobs in Kansas.

In 2014, only 45 percent of people earning master’s degrees and only one-third of those earning doctoral degrees were employed in Kansas in their first year after graduating, according to Board of Regents data.

“There is a war for talent nationally,” Flanders said. “And so college graduates are in high demand, and they’re recruited by companies outside of this state.”

Flanders pointed to a program at Wichita State University as an example of things other schools can do to connect students with Kansas employers while they’re still in school.

WSU’s Innovation Campus is a 120-acre complex where private

companies set up operations alongside the university’s research facilities and employ students while they are still in school, giving them experience working on realworld projects.

“Students are actually working while they’re going to college, and then they’re connected to a company before they ever graduate, which has really been shown to increase the number that stay and work for that company,” Flanders said.

Still, Flanders conceded that there is only so much that colleges and universities can do to keep graduates in Kansas when there are better employment opportunities outside the state.

“Our institutions are beginning to take that lead to connect students,” he said. “We welcome any partnership from the economic development community as well.”

Officials from most of the other universities, however, said their counsel’s offices aren’t big enough to handle that type of litigation, and they are either referring them to the attorney general or hiring outside attorneys.

Meanwhile, Wichita State University President John Bardo said he is growing more concerned about another potential threat to campus security that has emerged just in recent months: the rising level of acrimony over this year’s presidential election.

“Emotions have been running so high, I’m really quite concerned that no matter which party wins, it’s not going to be over,” he said. “There’s such a serious amount of emotion in this thing. It’s

more than anything I’ve ever seen, maybe since Nixon.”

Regents President and CEO Blake Flanders said there are several things universities can do to ensure security on campuses while still protecting students’ rights to free speech. But he said the most important thing is maintaining good relationships between campus police departments and local law enforcement in the cities and counties where campuses are located.

“A memorandum of agreement is one piece of paper,” he said. “But a good working relationship is an entirely different matter.”

Avoid confrontation with son and his wife Dear Annie: My daughter-in-law is telling people that she is cheating on my son and that they are so far in debt they should file for bankruptcy. The person she told came to me and told me this.

I have been trying to figure out how to handle the situation. I feel as if I cannot just sit and do nothing. I thought I would go to my son and advise him to look into their finances and say nothing about the cheating. Now I am thinking about going to my daughter-in-law and saying to her, ‘’I know about the affairs and your money troubles, and if you do not come clean and tell my son, I am going to.’’

As you can see, I am really upset and do not know what my next move should be. — Uneasy Mother-in-Law Dear Uneasy: Con-

sider the source. Would your daughter-in-law really have confided such a dark secret in someone who was likely to go to you with it? Recall those games of telephone when you were younger. ‘’My dad likes to play tennis’’ could easily become ‘’The cat biked to the dentist.’’

It’s very possible something has been lost in translation here.

Let your son and his wife know you’re there if they need to talk, but don’t confront them

Politics amok, and a-mocked It’s difficult to play catch-up when an election season unfolds at the speed of Twitter. The Republican presidential candidate and former “Apprentice” host’s use of social media has provided a blizzard of media “events” — not all of them entirely “newsworthy” — that get discussed and dissected nonetheless. They arrive with such rapidity that passing “thoughts” from just yesterday can seem like ancient history.

Against this backdrop, Hulu presents, or rather streams, “ T r i umph’s Summer Election Special 2016,” a political comedy starring Robert Smigel as his cigarchomping hand puppet alterego, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. The audaciously rude canine visits both parties’ conventions and interviews delegates and dignitaries in his signature scatological style.

Of course, the conventions ended last month. Will anyone but the most diehard Triumph fan want to revisit Philadelphia and Cleveland?

On the other hand, the constant onslaught of political eruptions might call for a little reflection and perspective.

“The Daily Show” used to pretty much own the territory with its nightly recaps. But since the departure of Jon Stewart, two of his former “correspondents,” John Oliver and Samantha Bee, have received more attention and respect for their weekly reports, HBO’s “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver,” airing on Sunday nights, and “Full Frontal With Samantha Bee,” airing Monday nights on TBS. It’s interesting to note that well into the 21st century, these weekly satirical recaps possess a bit of TV DNA from “That Was the Week That Was,” a pioneering BBC news satire that began running more than a half-century ago. David Frost “anchored” the series when it began in the U.K. in 1962. He also starred on the U.S. series when it appeared on NBC in 1964 and ‘65. Writers for “Week” included John Cleese, Peter Cook and Roald Dahl.

Tonight’s other highlights l Scheduled events at the Rio Olympics include: swimming and gymnastics (7 p.m., NBC); boxing, table tennis, volleyball and shooting (7 p.m., NBCSN). l A Parisian gourmand doesn’t let the fact that he’s a rodent stymie his culinary ambitions in the 2007 animated fantasy “Ratatouille” (7 p.m., Disney), featuring the voices of Patton Oswalt and Ian Holm. l Gabe comes clean with Trina on “Braxton Family Values” (8 p.m., WE). l Undercover, Teresa mulls a fateful move on “Queen of the South” (9 p.m., USA, TV-14). l A conscious act on “Ripper Street” (9 p.m., BBC America).

with shoddy accusations.

It’s understandable that you’re protective of your son, but at the same time, there may be nothing to be protective of, and if you confronted them, you’d risk losing your son and daughter-in-law in one fell swoop. Keep your lips sealed. In reallife games of telephone, everyone loses.

Dear Annie: My mother is in her 70s now and seems to be increasingly judging people solely on their looks.

I love her dearly, and she has always been pretty bright, so I can’t fully understand her obsession with how everyone looks.

She delights in mentioning who is fat, who looks old, etc., and it’s getting hard to be around her.

Perhaps not so surprisingly, she herself has let herself go and is at such an unhealthy weight, she can barely walk, so

Right call A roundabout at Wakarusa and Harvard is a better and safer traffic solution than a four-way stop

A

two-lane roundabout on Wakarusa at its intersection with Harvard Road makes sense, given the success of the roundabout at Wakarusa and Inverness Drive.

Lawrence city commissioners reviewed reconstruction plans Tuesday to replace the current four-way stop at Wakarusa and Harvard with the roundabout. Commissioners were mostly favorable toward the project.

The work on the Wakarusa-Harvard intersection is part of the approximately $3 million allotted by the city’s 2017 capital improvement plan to reconstruct Wakarusa Drive from Inverness Drive to Sixth Street. The Kansas Department of Transportation has agreed to pay 90 percent of the cost of the roundabout, up to $600,000. The city’s portion of the project will be funded with infrastructure sales tax funds.

The adjoining street reconstruction is south of the Wakarusa-Harvard roundabout. Concept plans call for five 11-footwide traffic lanes, including a center turn lane. The reconstruction will include 5-foot-wide bike lanes and 6-foot-wide sidewalks on eiStudies by ther side of the roadway. the Insurance None of this Institute for is surprising.

Highway Safety When city commissioners voted and by the approve the Federal Highway to Wakarusa-InAdministration verness roundhave shown that about in 2013, city engineers said a roundabouts roundabout for significantly Wakarusa Drive reduced injury and Harvard Road was next. collisions at The primary intersections benefit of roundwhere stop abouts is safety.

Studies by the signs or signals were previously Insurance Institute for Highway used for traffic Safety and by the control.

Federal Highway Administration have shown that roundabouts significantly reduced injury collisions at intersections where stop signs or signals were previously used for traffic control. Because they allow for a steady and constant flow of entry into the intersection, roundabouts also reduce traffic congestion caused by red lights and stop signs.

On low-traffic roadways, signals and four-way stop signs have proven to be more efficient traffic control techniques, but the growing traffic on Wakarusa certainly would seem to warrant the roundabout.

The primary negative to roundabouts in the U.S. has been drivers’ lack of familiarity with them. But studies have shown that drivers generally adapt quickly. That seems to be the case at Wakarusa and Inverness, which became the largest roundabout in the city when it opened to traffic in January 2015. The new Wakarusa-Harvard roundabout will be identical to the Wakarusa-Inverness roundabout, City Engineer David Cronin said.

That’s a good thing. The city’s use and design of roundabouts has steadily improved over the years, and the WakarusaInverness intersection is the best effort yet. That design should work well at Wakarusa and Harvard.

“Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.”

— John 8:32 Or maybe not.

Far be it from me to correct Jesus, but to survey the modern political landscape is to see precious little evidence of the truth setting anyone free. Indeed, it is to become convinced that a great many would not know the truth if it bit them on the nose. They prefer the soft comfort of lies to the hard challenge of facts.

In that sense, a new poll by the Huffington Post and YouGov only illustrates again something we already know.

It says that most Americans — 61 percent — believe crime is on the rise over the last decade. Which is just not true.

The violent crime rate for 2014, the last year for which full statistics are available, was 365.5 per 100,000 people.

To find a time when crime was lower, you’d have to go back to when Richard Nixon was in the White House, “Room 222” was on television, “One Less Bell to Answer” by the 5th Dimension was on the turntable — and everyone still had turntables.

In other words: 1970.

So this thing most of us believe to be true is em-

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

The divisions of this house argue for a renewed scholastic emphasis on critical thinking, for a principled tearing down of ideological silos and, maybe, for a little self-reflection.” pirically and demonstrably false. Check it for yourself by perusing the Uniform Crime Reports at FBI.gov.

Not that I think that will change many minds. Those who are ideologically invested in the notion of a nation where crime is spiraling out of control will likely round file those statistics in the same mental receptacle where they and others store President Obama’s citizenship, global warming and the fact that vaccines do not cause autism.

This happens often enough that there’s a name for it: confirmation bias.

It was quantified in a 1979 Stanford University study which found that confronting people with facts proving a belief wrong does not change their minds. Rather, people tend to disregard the proof and harden the false belief.

Later research has found similar results. In 2004, Drew Westen, a psychology professor at Emory University, ran a study which showed that, given weak evidence confirming their view or strong evidence refuting it, most people will give greater weight to the former.

I’m as guilty as anyone.

As someone who considers the Indian-themed name of Washington’s professional football team to be offensive, I was vexed a few months ago when a Washington Post poll found that the vast majority of American Indians are not insulted by it. My instinct was to discount the poll and question its methodology.

And yes, maybe the methodology was, indeed, flawed.

Or maybe that was just how I defended myself from an unwelcome truth.

This question of how and

why we believe as we do is not abstract. As Westen told me in 2004, “The scary thing is the extent to which you can imagine this influencing jury decisions, boardroom decisions, political decisions.”

It gets scarier when you factor in the cynical manipulations of demagogic politicians, internet hoaxers and putative news organizations that use our confirmation biases to steer our opinions — and our fears. It becomes easier to understand why America now feels like one nation cleaved in two, a people living in alternate realities governed by separate and unequal “truths.” And it brings to mind what Lincoln — quoting Jesus — said about a house divided.

The divisions of this house argue for a renewed scholastic emphasis on critical thinking, for a principled tearing down of ideological silos and, maybe, for a little self-reflection. They also suggest that maybe John 8:32 isn’t so far off the mark.

After all, it says that before the truth can set you free, you must first know it.

Apparently, that part is easier said than done.

TODAY IN HISTORY l On Aug. 11, 1956, abstract painter Jackson Pollock, 44, died in an automobile accident on Long Island, New York. l In 1934, the first federal prisoners arrived at Alcatraz Island (a former military prison) in San Francisco Bay. l In 1965, rioting and looting that claimed 34 lives broke out in the predominantly black Watts section of Los Angeles. l In 1984, during a voice test for a paid political radio address, President Ronald Reagan joked that he had “signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.”

Illinois exemplifies our fiscal foolishness Chicago — Seated in his office here, wearing neither a necktie nor a frown, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner is remarkably relaxed for someone at the epicenter of a crisis now in its second year and with no end in sight. But, then, stress is pointless when the situation is hopeless. Besides, if you can ignore the fact that self-government is failing in the nation’s fifthmost populous state, you can see real artistry in the selfdealing by the Democrats who, with veto-proof majorities in the state Legislature, have reduced this state they control to insolvency.

Illinois’ government, says Rauner, “is run for the benefit of its employees.” Increasingly, it is run for their benefit when they retire.

Pension promises, though unfunded by at least $113 billion, are one reason some government departments are not digitized at all.

What is misleadingly called the state’s Constitution requires balanced budgets, of which there have been none for 25 years. This year, revenues are projected to be $32.5 billion, with spending of $38 billion. Illinois Democrats are, however, selective constitutionalists: They will die in the last ditch defending the constitution’s provision that says no government pension can be “diminished or impaired.”

The government is so thoroughly unionized (22 unions represent almost all government employees), that “I can’t,” Rauner says, “turn on

a light switch without permission.” He exaggerates, somewhat, but the process of trying to fire someone is a career, not an option.

At last count, $7.6 billion was owed to many of the state’s vendors. But the law in its majesty requires that the state’s legislators — those who write the laws — get paid under any circumstances. This removes perhaps the most important potential pressure for compromise. If schools were unable to open this month, parents with pitchforks would march on Springfield, so a quasi-budget was cobbled together to keep government semi-funded for six months.

Under Rauner’s Democratic predecessor, the Legislature passed a “temporary” tax increase, serenely expecting that when it expired they would enjoy the truth of Ronald Reagan’s axiom that there is nothing as immortal as a temporary government program. They

did not count on the first Republican governor in 12 years.

Rauner let the tax lapse.

To their demand for more tax increases, he sweetly says: Let’s talk. About pension reforms and tort reform. And about exempting local governments from paying on construction projects the “prevailing wage” — which Rauner says is, effectively, “whatever unions tell them they want it to be,” and which raises costs 30 to 40 percent.

Rauner favors term limits for state legislators. Democrats have job security, thanks in large part to the financial support of grateful publicand private-sector unions.

Illinois voters overwhelmingly want term limits, which Democratic politicians oppose because, they say, such limits restrict voters’ ability to get what they want.

Illinois is a leading indicator of increasing national childishness — an unwillingness to will the means for the ends that it wills.

Nationally, state and local governments’ pensions have somewhere between $1 trillion and $4 trillion in unfunded pension liabilities, depending on, among other things, assumptions about returns on pension funds’ investments. The Wall Street Journal reports that in 2001, the 20-year median return was 12.3 percent and every percentage-point decline in returns increases liabilities by 12 percent. Last year, the largest fund, Cali-

fornia Public Employees’ Retirement System, which assumes 7.5 percent returns, instead gained 0.6 percent.

This, in the sixth year of the recovery from the 2008-09 crisis, was the worst performance since then — and another recession will surely happen.

Nationally, neither party is eager to talk about the rickety structure of the entitlement state, although the Democratic platform promises to make matters worse.

Although scheduled Social Security benefits vastly exceed the value of worker and employer contributions plus interest, the platform, a case study in reactionary liberalism, opposes even raising the retirement age.

This, even though benefits are available at 62, three years younger than when the system was created in 1935, when life expectancy at 65 was 12.5 years. Today, it is 19.3 years for men and 21.6 for women. If in 1935 Congress had indexed the age of Social Security eligibility to life expectancy, the age today would be 72.

The federal government can continue to print money.

There are bankruptcy procedures for cities but not for states. So, high-tax Illinois will continue bleeding the population and businesses, but with one contented cohort — the Democratic political class, for whom the system is working quite well.

DEA MINES TRAVEL LOGS

Suspicious itineraries pay huge dividends to federal drug agency Brad Heath @bradheath USA TODAY

Federal drug agents regularly mine Americans’ travel information to profile people who might be ferrying money for narcotics traffickers — though they almost never use what they learn to make arrests or build criminal cases.

Instead, that targeting has helped the Drug Enforcement Administration seize a small fortune in cash.

DEA agents have profiled passengers on Amtrak trains and nearly every major U.S. airline, drawing on reports from a network of travel-industry informants that extends from ticket counters to back offices, a USA TODAY investigation has found.

Agents assigned to air- USA ports and TODAY train stations singled out identified passengers 87 cases for question- in recent ing or searchyears in es for reasons as seemingly which the benign as Justice traveling one- Departway to Caliment went fornia or having paid for a to federal ticket in cash. court The DEA to seize surveillance cash from is separate from the vast travelers. and widely known anti-terrorism apparatus that now surrounds air travel, which is rarely used for routine law enforcement. It has been carried out largely without the airlines’ knowledge.

It is a lucrative endeavor, and one that remains largely unknown outside the drug agency.

DEA units assigned to patrol 15 of the nation’s busiest airports seized more than $209 million in cash from at least 5,200 people over the past decade after concluding the money was linked to drug trafficking, according to Justice Department records. Most of the money was passed on to local police departments that lend officers to assist the drug agency.

“They count on this as part of the budget,” said Louis Weiss, a former supervisor of the DEA WASHINGTON

‘2nd Amendment’ comment nags Trump, alarms critics David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

So much for focusing on the economy.

Donald Trump, who had planned to follow up Monday’s major economic address with a series of events this week highlighting the jobs issue, now finds himself under attack over another off-the-cuff comment seen by many as a threat against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton (or possibly federal judges).

After claiming that Clinton’s goal is ending Second Amend-

ment gun rights, Trump told supporters in North Carolina on Tuesday: “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.

Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don’t know.”

While Trump and allies accused Democrats and the news media of distorting his remarks, saying he was referring to the power of the vote, Clinton and even some Republicans said it sounded like an invitation to violence.

“Yesterday, we witnessed the latest in a long line of casual comments from Donald Trump that crossed the line,” Clinton said

EVAN VUCCI, AP

Trump acknowledges supporters Wednesday in Abingdon, Va. Wednesday in Des Moines, adding that his “casual inciting of violence” showed that he “does not have the temperament to be

president and commander in chief of the United States.”

Amid the political furor, the Secret Service, responsible for

protecting presidential candidates, put out a unique statement Tuesday, saying that it is “aware of the comments” by Trump.

Chris Shays, a former GOP congressman from Connecticut, cited Trump’s comment as he became the latest Republican to endorse Clinton. Shays told MSNBC’s Morning Joe Wednesday, “I’m scared for the life of the president. I’m scared for Hillary Clinton. I’m scared even for Donald Trump.”

On social media, Trump said he was referring to the voting power of Second Amendment supporters in his comments Tuesday.

Federal drug agency milks an American cash cow v CONTINUED FROM 1B

group assigned to HartsfieldJackson Atlanta International Airport. “Basically, you’ve got to feed the monster.”

In most cases, records show the agents gave the suspected couriers a receipt for the cash — sometimes totaling $50,000 or more, stuffed into suitcases or socks — and sent them on their way without charging them with a crime.

The DEA would not comment on how it obtains records of Americans’ domestic travel, or on what scale. But court records and interviews with agents, some of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not permitted to discuss DEA operations, make clear that it is extensive. In one 2009 court filing, for example, Justice Department lawyers said agents took $44,010 from two people traveling on a train to Denver after picking them out during “a routine review of the computerized travel manifest for Amtrak.”

USA TODAY identified 87 cases in recent years in which the Justice Department went to federal court to seize cash from travelers after agents said they had been tipped off to a suspicious itinerary. Those cases likely represent only a small fraction of the instances in which agents have stopped travelers or seized cash based on their travel patterns, because few such encounters ever make it to court.

Those cases nonetheless offer evidence of the program’s sweep.

Filings show agents were able to profile passengers on Amtrak and nearly every major U.S. airline, often without the companies’ consent. “We won’t release that information without a subpoena,” American Airlines spokesman Ross Feinstein said.

By itself, a suspicious itinerary amounts to little more than a tip; it’s not enough evidence to permit agents to detain passengers, search their bags or seize their cash. Instead, agents use it to approach travelers and ask if they would be willing to answer a few questions, a process that often ends with them either asking for permission to search the person’s bags or having a dog sniff them for drugs.

Agents seized $25,000 from Christelle Tillerson’s suitcase in 2014 as she waited to board a flight from Detroit to Chicago.

The Justice Department said in a court filing that agents became interested in Tillerson after they “received information” that she was headed to Los Angeles on a one-way ticket.

DEA agents regularly profile train and airline passengers based on their travel records. money of her own. And a police dog smelled drugs on the cash.

Agents seized the money and let Tillerson go. Her lawyer, Cyril Hall, said she was never arrested, or even questioned about whether she could give agents information about traffickers.

A year and a half later — after she produced paperwork showing that much of the money had indeed come from her boyfriend’s retirement fund — the Justice Department agreed to return the money, minus $4,000. A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Detroit, Gina Balaya, said prosecutors concluded that “a small percentage of the funds should be forfeited.”

“It was outrageous. It’s still outrageous,” Hall said.

Federal law gives the government broad powers to seize cash and other assets if agents have evidence they are linked to crime.

That process, commonly known as asset forfeiture, has come under fire from lawmakers in recent years after complaints that police were using the law to raise money rather than to protect the public or prevent crime.

“Going after someone’s property has nothing to do with protecting them and it has everything to do with going after the money,” said Renée Flaherty, a lawyer for the Institute for Justice, an advocacy group that has battled asset forfeiture cases.

To the DEA, cash seizures are one prong of a broader financial fight against gangs and Mexican cartels, which have reaped huge profits — usually in cash — from selling drugs in the U.S. Agents “employ strategies and methods that attack the financial infrastructure of these criminal organizations,” spokesman Russ Baer said, including tracking couriers who transport the money.

Baer said agents receive information from employees at “airlines, bus terminals, car rental agencies, storage facilities, vehicle repair shops, or other businesses.” He did not explain why so many suspected couriers are released without charges.

The DEA came under fire for harvesting travel records two years ago, when Amtrak’s inspector general revealed that agents had paid a secretary $854,460 over

SMALL FORTUNE IN SEIZURES Since 2006, Drug Enforcement Administration groups assigned to 15 major airports have seized more than $203 million in cash.

Inspector General has complained that the DEA’s airport units often did not track the instances in which they question someone but did not make an arrest or seizure.

What the drug agency could not do was access the sea of data the government collects from airlines to spot potential terrorists.

Airlines must provide basic information about all of their passengers to the Department of Homeland Security three days before a flight so that they can be checked against terrorist watch lists. That system is so tightly focused on detecting potential terrorists that the government typically will not use it even to spot wanted fugitives.

Nor were agents able to get information directly from the airlines. “They really did not want to be associated with subjecting their passengers to government scrutiny because of the privacy issues,” Weiss, the former DEA supervisor, said. “They discouraged their employees from assisting us.”

fired. His department is committed to reform, he said.

“I am very very concerned by some of the information contained in this report,” he said.

“Without a doubt, we will become a model for the rest of the nation.”

The Justice Department has conducted similar reviews of dozens of cities, including Chicago, Cleveland and, after the well-publicized death of unarmed black teen Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. The Baltimore probe was prompted by the April 2015 death of Freddie Gray, an unarmed black man fatally injured while in police custody.

Six officers were initially charged in Gray’s death, but after three officers were acquitted, charges against the rest were dropped.

The report said the police department recognizes community policing is an effective strategy to improve its relationship with the public.

But the department needs a

broader community policing plan that reaches all districts, the report indicates. The police department is trying to create new organizations rather than build relationships with existing organizations, the study says.

Some community groups told investigators that police stopped coming to meetings after Gray’s death, one in a series of deaths of unarmed black people during police stops or while in police custody that ignited sometimes violent protests in Baltimore and across the nation.

“BPD’s failings result from deficient policies, training, oversight and accountability, and policing strategies that do not engage effectively with the community,” the report reads.

“We are heartened to find both widespread recognition of these challenges and strong interest in reform.”

The report concludes that the relationship between the police department and Baltimore’s residents is “broken” and says that investigators discovered over the course of many interviews that

people in impoverished, minority communities often felt “belittled, disbelieved and disrespected” by police officers.

Investigators discovered an “us vs. them” mentality in the department, and when they approached one supervisor about communityoriented policing, were told, “I don’t pander to the public.”

“Indeed, our review of documents and our conversations with residents confirm that distrust is causing individuals to be reluctant to cooperate with police,” the report reads.

Wayne Cohen, law professor at George Washington University and former president of the Trial Lawyers Association of Metropolitan Washington, D.C., said the Justice Department report probably will accelerate change in Baltimore.

“This report is not a surprise,” Cohen told USA TODAY. “It was clear there were steps that needed to be taken. It could take years, and could be costly and painful.

But the Justice Department report should increase the pace of change.”

Clinton aims at Trump’s lead on economy Calls GOP opponent’s ‘old, tired ideas’ just a ‘trickle-down’ revival

Clinton is promising the biggest investment in U.S. jobs — including infrastructure, precision manufacturing and green energy — since World War II.

Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton has a singular goal as she lands in Detroit on Thursday to deliver a major economic address: Erase what’s left of Donald Trump’s once-significant advantage on the economy.

It’s the critical issue that has ultimately determined nearly all recent elections, as her husband’s former campaign adviser, James Carville, explained in 1992 with the phrase: “It’s the economy, stupid.”

While Clinton has spent considerable time painting Trump as a shady businessman who jilts contractors and outsources his own product lines for overseas production, her challenge is condensing her own message into a simple idea that resonates with voters, said Peter Hart, a Democratic pollster who conducts the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

“The economy is a jump ball from my point of view,” Hart said.

Following a mostly successful convention and bus tour through economically depressed pockets of Ohio and Pennsylvania, Clinton is shaving Trump’s lead on the economy, from 10 points in June to 4 points in the most recent NBC poll. Overall, Trump has been sinking in surveys since the party conventions last month, with Clinton now up around 8 points, according to the latest RealClearPolitics rolling average of polls.

“In order for Hillary Clinton to take advantage of it, she’s going to have to have a few clear specifics that come under one umbrella idea,” Hart said, regarding Clinton’s task on framing her economic argument. “When that happens, it begins to change for the Democrats. If it doesn’t, she leaves that vulnerability open for Donald Trump.”

Hillary Clinton will make a major economic address Thursday in Detroit.

Trump says he’ll bring back jobs, including in the coal industry... and he’s blasting bipartisan trade agreements that many working-class voters blame for job losses.

RYAN GARZA, DETROIT FREE PRESS

Donald Trump, speaking in Detroit on Monday, polls higher than Clinton on economic matters.

It’s a challenge given the perception, particularly among many working-class voters, that because Trump is a successful businessman, he knows how to create jobs. And despite positive news on jobs gains in recent months, it’s a challenge that could be further complicated by economic re-

ports showing sluggish growth this year, which Republicans are pinning on President Obama.

Combine slow growth figures with the Republican Party’s recent polling advantage on the economy, and “the fact that it’s even competitive is a sign of Trump’s challenges,” said Margie

The sixth Duke of Westminster, one of Britain’s wealthiest men and a friend of the royal family, has died at the age of 64.

Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, whose family owns land and real estate around the world, including in two of London’s most affluent neighborhoods, passed away in a hospital in Preston, northwestern England, on Tuesday after suddenly falling ill at his nearby Abbeystead Estate, his Grosvenor Estate said.

The duke was the 114th richest person in the world at the time of his death, according to Forbes, which estimated his wealth at $11 billion.

His 25-year-old son Hugh Grosvenor, one of Prince George’s godfathers, becomes the 7th Duke of Westminster and inherits the estate.

The suspect was identified as 34-year-old Billy Monroe Jones of Greenwood. Police said Jones barricaded himself inside a home on Highway 253. Officers were

uU.S.-backed Libyan militias say they have taken over the Islamic State group’s headquarters in Sirte, the militants’ final bastion in Libya, as reported by the Associated Press.

The fighters said on Wednesday that they had seized control of the sprawling convention center that was used as the Islamic State’s headquarters in the coastal city. The militia fighters, who are mainly from the nearby city of Misrata, launched their offensive against the Islamic State in June. uKurdish rebels of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, on Wednesday carried out two simultaneous attacks on police vehicles in the mainly Kurdish southeast of Turkey, killing seven people and wounding dozens of others, an official said, according to the Associated Press.

lifestyle, and he’s blasting bipartisan trade agreements that many working-class voters blame for job losses.

“A Trump administration will end this war on the American worker and unleash an energy revolution that will bring vast new wealth to our country,” Trump told the Detroit Economic Club on Monday.

On Thursday, Clinton will offer a rebuttal to Trump’s approach, which includes a moratorium on federal business regulations and overhauling the tax code, including an end to the estate tax.

In the past couple of days, she’s previewed her argument against the GOP nominee, including a new video stating that Trump’s plan offers huge tax cuts that benefit the wealthiest Americans and the largest corporations.

Ending the estate tax would bust the federal budget while benefiting the richest families, including a $4 billion break for Trump’s family, the Clinton campaign argues.

She has also taken aim at his proposal to eliminate the socalled carried interest loophole, which she says would be replaced by an even bigger tax advantage for hedge fund managers and private equity executives under his plan to streamline the income tax code into three brackets.

“They tried to make his old, tired ideas sound new,” Clinton said in a Monday speech in Florida, in which she contended that Trump is simply repackaging “trickle-down” economics that weights tax policy to the favor of the wealthy on the idea that it flows down to everyone else.

Democrats say Clinton has yet to pull into the lead on the economy in part because of the U.S. electorate’s distaste for policy details and fine print versus more simple messages.

“People look at Trump and think he’s rich and think he can run the economy,” said Mark Mellman, a Democratic pollster.

“It’s hard to break through with her message because Trump takes up so much of the oxygen.”

A 73-year-old retired librarian playacting as a victim in a “shoot/ don’t shoot” exercise at a Florida police community event was shot and killed Tuesday night by an officer who mistakenly fired live ammunition instead of blank rounds, according to Punta Gorda, Fla., police.

Mary Knowlton was shot several times by a Punta Gorda police officer playing a “bad guy” in the scenario designed to demonstrate the quick decisions police must make on the job, said Sue Paquin, a photographer covering the event for the Charlotte Sun. Punta Gorda police Chief Tom Lewis said Knowlton was “mistakenly struck with a live round.”

She was taken to a local hospital where she died.

Lewis, who was at the event when the shooting occurred, said Wednesday that the officer, who has not been identified, was “very grief-stricken” over the incident and that officers had been assigned to him “to make sure he is psychologically stable.”

The officer has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

About 35 people were taking part in Tuesday’s event at the Punta Gorda Police Department, according to The (Fort Myers, Fla.) News-Press.

Two volunteers, including Knowlton, were selected at random to act in the scenario in which they are asked to make decisions on using simulated lethal force in a live role play, according to a press release from the department.

Lewis declined to discuss the case in detail, including information about the weapon used in the shooting, saying only that “we were unaware that any live ammo for this particular weapon existed.”

“We thought for the particular caliber of the weapon used, that there were only blank rounds available to the officer,” he said.

He said not every officer in the department has access to that particular weapon and that it has not been used before at similar events.

Knowlton had been taking part in the event staged by the Citizens Academy, a free, eight-session course of interactive classes for local residents to teach “the role and responsibility of the various city departments and services they provide to the community,” according to the Punta Gorda city website.

Steve Knowlton, a son of the woman, told the Associated Press on Wednesday that his father witnessed the shooting and is “devastated.” He said his parents had been married for 55 years.

Lt. Katie Heck, public information officer for Punta Gorda police, said the department has run “shoot/don’t shoot” scenarios for about two years.

BURGER KING

WHOPPERITO?

WEIRD FOOD GIMMICKS DRAW NEW, OLD FANS Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

With Burger King’s advent of a hamburger dressed up as a burrito and Pepsi’s revival of its eerily clear cola, it seems like fast-food purveyors and soda bottlers are spending more time creating crazy new mash-ups in laboratories than fresh recipes in kitchens.

Bizarre combinations of otherwise familiar foods are coming faster than you can get in and out of the drive-through.

With the “Whopperito” — TexMex-seasoned hamburger meat, drizzled with melty cheese and wrapped in a flour tortilla — Burger King hopes it has another cringe-worthy hit that attracts more diners who find the idea appealing rather than revolting. The concoction comes from the same chain, after all, that crusted pasta in Cheetos earlier this summer to create “Mac n’ Cheetos.”

“It’s just to get peoples’ attention to come in to the restaurants,” says Alex Macedo, president of Burger King North America. He says sales get a boost from limited-time menu options but they’re “also important for keeping the brand relevant.”

Not to be left behind, PepsiCo is bringing back its own cult favorite, Crystal Pepsi — a strange elixir in which the cola has the same taste as the familiar fizzy brown stuff but appears as clear as water. It returns to shelves this week. The brand even hosted a ’90s-themed free concert Tuesday in Manhattan to celebrate the soft drink banished from shelves in 1994.

With social media chatter and a chance at going viral more influential than ever, sellers face pressure to churn out unusual — and sometimes borderline ridiculous — products.

“They want people tweeting things out, they want people taking pictures of their plate, because there’s more competition out there,” says Dan Rene, senior vice president at strategic communications firm Levick.

Neil Saunders, CEO of retail research firm Conlumino, says, “(Customers) get bored very, very quickly. You have to work increasingly hard to get the message across.”

Sometimes that means bringing back options popular years ago. While experts say there’s rarely a long-term impact from temporarily introducing quirky beverages and bizarre foods, they can inspire loyal fans willing to spend for another chance to taste or sip their favorite concoction. uAfter KFC came out with the Double Down in 2010 — a sandwich made with two boneless chicken fillets as the bun instead of bread — it sparked so much intrigue the chain brought it back for a limited time in 2014. uTaco Bell recently brought back the beefy crunch burrito temporarily after customers staged a five-year quest to get it

Though Macedo says it’s rare a limited-menu item gets to stick around, chicken fries “drove traffic. It brought in people that otherwise weren’t coming to Burger King. That’s the biggest success.”

A growing thicket of digital payment options is emerging for American shoppers as major national retailers are increasingly introducing their own app-based alternatives to the tech companies’ embedded smartphone pay systems.

The latest is CVS Health, the nation’s largest drugstore chain, which plans to announce Thursday that it will start accepting instore payments through its flagship CVS app.

The move combines the retailer’s loyalty program, prescription drug pickup capability and CVS Pay into its existing store app, allowing customers to leave their wallets at home when they walk into one of the chain’s 9,600 locations.

“What we’re trying to do is streamline the in-store and drivethrough transactions for millions of customers,” CVS chief digital officer and senior vice president Brian Tilzer said in an interview.

Like big-box retailer Walmart, CVS integrated credit card and debit card payment options into its smartphone app, which is scanned at the register and authenticated with a thumb scan or pass code before converting the card number into a transactionspecific “token” to prevent identity theft.

Apple Pay isn’t accepted at CVS. Instead, CVS Pay will start nationwide this year.

CVS Pay will become available immediately in certain markets — including stores in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware — and will go live nationwide by the end of the year.

Apple, Google and Samsung believe they have an edge because their devices come equipped with payment capability upon delivery to consumers. But for now, CVS and Walmart aren’t accepting Apple Pay, Android Pay or Samsung Pay. Walgreens, archrival of CVS, accepts Apple Pay and allows users to pair it with its loyalty program, Balance Rewards.

The middle man in the transaction — the credit card companies — is welcoming all of these options. They still glean transaction fees even when a physical piece of plastic isn’t involved.

Wall Street bulls, bears butt heads over year-end S&P close Depending on which side you talk to, index could gain another 7% or fall as much as 10% Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

The 7-year-old stock market bull not only is in record-setting mode this year, its gains also are exceeding the 2016 crystal-ball projections of Wall Street gurus.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index, which has registered eight highs this year, is up 6.4% in 2016 after closing Wednesday down 0.3% to 2,175 — a level that exceeds the average year-end target of 2,146 from 20 Wall Street firms tracked by Bloomberg.

The large-company stock in-

dex’s ability to overachieve through mid-August has renewed the debate between the biggest bulls and most pessimistic bears about whose call ultimately will be proved right at year’s end. Depending on which side you talk to, the S&P 500 could gain another 7% or fall as much as 10%.

The strategist with the most bullish year-end price target is Tom Lee, managing partner at Fundstrat Global Advisors. Lee sees the broad market gauge finishing the year at 2,325 — or 6.9% higher than Wednesday’s close.

Lee says he’s frustrated with the negativity surrounding the U.S. stock market, saying the gen-

eral feeling among investors is “there is no way it is going up.”

That pessimistic thinking is misguided, Lee counters, adding that “people are missing out” on gains as a result. His bullish thesis is based on his belief the growth story in the U.S. is improving. He

cites strength in key economic data, the labor market and housing as proof.

“To me there is a bullish economic story out there,” Lee says, adding there is a “substantial pool of savings” in cash, bonds and other investments that will make

its way back into stocks if interest rates stay low and economic momentum picks up.

Wall Street’s biggest bear, Ben Laidler, global equity strategist at HSBC, disagrees. Laidler is sticking by his S&P 500 year-end target of 1,960 — a 9.9% decline. The investment backdrop is “pretty fragile,” he says. He sees weaker economic growth in Europe and Japan and “extraordinarily high levels” of policy uncertainty around the globe “sapping growth expectations” for U.S. corporate earnings and GDP growth.

Another challenge for stocks could be an old nemesis: falling oil prices, adds Dan Suzuki, senior U.S. equity strategist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, a firm with a S&P 500 year-end target of 2,000, or 8% below current levels.

Since the week ended July 6 — which was the week before the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index hit its first of eight record highs — fund investors have yanked a net $37.4 billion out of long-term mutual funds that invest in American companies.

The most recent data is the latest proof that investors remain jittery about the stock market, despite the fact it has been a summer of new highs for major U.S.

Conviction yes, but idea is to think long term Q: Are late-day rallies bullish?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Weakness in the morning and strength in the afternoon. That has been the pattern of stock trading, leaving some to wonder what these late-day rallies mean. Here’s one interpretation.

First, some data. If it seems like stocks are rallying in the afternoon, your hunch is right. Looking at average intraday trading patterns in the Standard & Poor’s 500 since May 21, 2015, Bespoke Investment Group pinpointed a trend. Looking at trading over this time shows stocks weaken in the first two hours of the trading day, but at 11:30 a.m. ET buyers come in. Most of the intense buying seems to kick in during the final hour of the trading day, Bespoke found. Among traders, such late-day buying is seen as being bullish.

Typically, “smart money” — or large institutional buyers — are thought to do most of their trading later in the day, Bespoke says. Less informed and smaller individual investors typically place their trades in the morning before heading to day jobs. Investors who believe these “Smart Money Indicators” see late-day buying as a positive since it shows more large investors are jumping in.

Late-day buying also shows conviction as investors are willing to hold their positions overnight. For long-term investors, though, none of this matters much.

Aetna to give its employees a break on student loans Company is latest to join growing trend Athena Cao USA TODAY

Aetna employees with student debt are about to get up to a $10,000 break.

The company announced Wednesday it will help pay down their loans, joining a small group of pioneers that started the trend to attract and retain talent by tackling a widespread source of financial distress.

Starting in 2017, the health care giant’s 50,000 full-time employees will qualify for matching loan payments of up to $2,000 per year and a total of $10,000 per person. Part-timers will benefit, with half of the cap.

Employees need to have earned undergrad or graduate degrees from accredited institutions within the last three years.

“By helping ease their financial burden, our employees can better focus on our mission of building a healthier world,” Aetna CEO and Chairman Mark Bertolini said.

Aetna is the latest to join the 3% to 4% of all U.S. companies

that contribute to employees’ student debt payments, according to the Society for Human Resource Management. Other firms include Nvidia, a tech company based in the Silicon Valley, Memorial Hermann Health System

in Texas and Natixis Global Asset Management in Boston.

The trend is poised to take off among industries facing competition for talent, such as finance, technology and retail, as 71% of college graduates this year carry student loan and the country has amassed $1.3 trillion of student debt, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said in a May report.

Before Aetna, companies including Fidelity and PricewaterhouseCoopers launched their own student loan matching programs with varying terms. Student loan assistant programs generally come with hefty price

tags. Fidelity already paid millions of dollars so its program participants will save $8.5 million in the long run, with compound interest. But Hanson said the opportunity to attract and retain top talent is worth it.

While the programs are attractive to Millennials, they aren’t necessarily exclusive to younger workers. The Aetna program will also apply to employees who go back and get a new degree, said Kay Mooney vice president of employee benefits.

“We do believe a successful company does more than turning a profit,” she said.

GOOD DAY ‘BIG BANG THEORY’ FANS Entering its 10th season this fall, the show’s cast, network (CBS) and producer (Warner Bros.

Television) all want to come back for more, CBS Entertainment chief Glenn Geller said at the Television Critics Association press tour.

Current three-year contracts for stars Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco, estimated at $1 million per episode, expire next May. But expect to see those deals renewed: “We’re very confident that everyone involved wants more ‘Big Bang Theory’ past year 10,” Geller said.

BAD DAY ED SHEERAN The British singer/songwriter is being sued by the family of a co-writer of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Let’s Get It On,’ claiming Sheeran’s hit ‘Thinking Out Loud’ was copied.

The lawsuit filed by the family of Ed Townsend claims Sheeran continued to perform the song after he was notified of the copyright infringement claim last year, the Associated Press reports.

The family seeks a jury trial and compensation.

RUMOR PATROL Fans hoping to get a new Taylor Swift album this fall are in for a letdown, because as much as they hope and chatter about a follow-up to ‘1989,’ it’s just not going to happen. Scott Borchetta, president and CEO of the singer’s label, Big Machine Label Group, responded to a tweet from a Swift fan asking him to comment on rumors that she would release a new album this October.

“NOPE,” he wrote in all caps.

In the meantime, we’re just going to have to keep ‘1989’ on repeat.

WATCH THE FUR FLY IN THE NEW ‘PETE’S DRAGON’ CGI hero is hairy and an ungainly flier, and most of his traits were modeled after cats, dogs and birds

MARK METCALFE, GETTY IMAGES

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

He definitely had to be a dragon named Elliot, but director David Lowery only had one other major ask for his title beast in Pete’s Dragon: The creature needed to be furry.

Scales can be cute, too — as proven by the salamander-esque Toothless in How to Train Your Dragon — but for Lovery’s familyfriendly Disney remake (in theaters Friday), he wanted the computer-generated Elliot to exude warmth, as well as animal magnetism, for the audience and his 10-year-old human buddy Pete (Oakes Fegley).

“We’re writing this movie and thinking, ‘How did this kid survive winter in the woods all alone?’ ” the filmmaker says.

“Well, the answer is, he curled up with a really fuzzy dragon who’s probably hibernating.”

Pete’s Dragon is set in a Pacific Northwest forest where Pete and Elliot have been living for six years, ever since the boy walked away from a car accident in the middle of nowhere that killed his parents. Forest ranger Grace Meachum (Bryce Dallas Howard) has heard her dad (Robert Redford) tell stories about a dragon

in the woods since she was a kid, but learns Elliot is very real when she finds Pete and tries to figure out his true identity.

Some traits of the cuddly cartoon star from 1977’s live-action/ animated hybrid Pete’s Dragon remain in the DNA of the new one: Elliot has a gut, can make himself invisible, communicates via mumbles and roars, and is “not quite as physically adept or graceful as you’d imagine a dragon to be,” Lowery says.

Largely, however, the director wanted something different.

There’s the fur, which for Lowery “goes a long way in selling the relationship at the heart of the movie,” but the beast also has ears on the sides of his head, so “you got a little more dog- or catlike emotions out of him,” adds visual effects supervisor Eric Saindon of Weta Digital, Peter Jackson’s effects house.

Plus, Elliot — who stands a towering 21 feet tall — needed a certain majesty about him. “Before you know he’s a nice dragon, you feel this overwhelming sense of awe at the sight of him,” says Low-

ery, who thought it was important that Elliot be a vegetarian.

“He eats sticks and logs but never hurts another animal.”

A zoo of creatures and their physical traits were picked to convey different aspects of Elliot.

Lowery borrowed his cat’s morning routine for Elliot waking up, and Saindon videotaped his black lab and sprinkled the dog throughout Elliot’s actions, including how he would react to a water hose.

Animators looked at an albatross for Elliot taking off (“It’s not a graceful thing at all,” says Saindon) and seagulls for the dragon crashing back down to Earth, “because they’re just not the greatest landers,” Lowery adds.

The biggest challenge was finding the right line between reality and fantasy for Elliot, where he was “slightly fanciful and yet grounded,” Lowery says.

So when Pete asks Elliot if he’s going to eat him, the director aimed for a mix of humor, emotion and curiosity. “That’s the first time you see the dragon actually respond to something and realize he’s not just an evil creature who’s about to indeed devour this 4-yearold.”

CBS took heat for its poor track record of diversity in casting lead roles in its new series, but entertainment chief Glenn Geller defended the network’s progress.

Its five new fall series are led by five white men and white executive producers, a stark contrast to its broadcast rivals, which have steadily improved their representation of blacks, Latinos and Asian-Americans.

“We’re very mindful at CBS about the importance of diversity and inclusion,” Geller said at the Television Critics Association press tour Wednesday. “We need to do better, and we know it. In terms of leads, we are less diverse than we were last year.”

CBS has recast some upcoming series to be more diverse. But its new shows all are led by white men, including the MacGyver reboot with Lucas Till, left, and George Eads. work has hastily cast 11 diverse actors among 16 hired for new supporting roles, mostly in returning shows. The list includes Wilmer Valderrama and Jennifer Esposito on top drama NCIS; Adam Rodriguez and The Talk’s Aisha Tyler on Criminal Minds; Boris Kodjoe on Code Black; and

“We need to do better, and we know it.”

CBS entertainment chief Glenn Geller

Nelsan Ellis on Elementary.

“That’s our commitment to diversity; that’s not just words, it’s our action,” said Geller, who was on the defensive as most of the questions in a 15-minute Q&A session focused on the topic. He denied the additions were the result of criticism leveled at the network after it unveiled its fall schedule in May: “We’re not trying to make up for something; that’s what we do.”

He touted midseason drama Doubt, which stars Katherine Heigl but features Laverne Cox as the first transgender actress hired as a series regular on network TV. And he said CBS was “on track” to have more diversity among directors.

But he sidestepped a question from USA TODAY about whether he’d make a more specific commitment to diversity in casting the 2017 crop of shows. “Our goal is always to try to get more diverse. We did not meet that goal in terms of leads, but overall we are getting more diverse, and that’s where I want to take the network.”

New role, same soul

Former coach: Bragg staying grounded as big year nears

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

While more contact guidelines and better awareness regarding head injuries have come about in recent years, Kansas coach David Beaty wonders why college football players aren’t better protected in practice at the start of every season.

Since Monday, at KU’s fifth practice of preseason camp, the Jayhawks have run through drills and plays in full pads. It’s those first couple of August camp sessions, though, that miff Beaty.

The NCAA mandates Division I players only practice in helmets and shorts the first two days of camp.

Shoulder pads are added for the third and fourth days.

Then full pads are allowed beginning on Day No. 5.

While his Jayhawks certainly didn’t simulate live situations or sprint around tackling each other the first two days, football by its very nature tends to involve some kind of contact, so Beaty would like to see some amendments to the way teams can outfit their players to open camp.

“It actually concerns me.

We need to put pads on them early,” Beaty said of those helmets, jerseys and shorts practices, “because it’s too dangerous. You’re bound to run into each other but you don’t have any pads on. It doesn’t make sense to me from a health standpoint.”

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The last words Kansas sophomore Carlton Bragg shared with his high school coach, Babe Kwasniak, during a recent reunion in Lawrence were some of the first he heard his old coach say back in Ohio.

Those words, written in Sharpie on a pair of size 16 Adidas basketball shoes that Bragg wore at the World University Games last summer, were a parting gift from Bragg to the man who played a big role in transforming him from shy and quiet to lean and mean prior to his joining the Jayhawks.

For Kwasniak, a veteran of the United States military and one of the biggest Bragg fans on the planet, the I’ve said gift was one of the highlights of this to his trip to Lawall of the rence during the first week of college coaches or August.

“He gave us a tour of Aleven the len Fieldhouse NBA GMs and their dorm, the mansion, who I’ve as they call it, talked to: and when we Whatever were walking of his room, the ‘it’ is, out he said, ‘Hey he has it. coach, I’ve got something for And that ya,’” Kwasniak recalled. “And has a lot he gave me a more to pair of shoes do with that he wore year in Kointangibles last rea. They were than the like KU, redbasketball white-and-blue shoes. And he stuff.” wrote on the shoes, ‘Don’t — Babe Kwasniak, ever change. who coached KU forLove you guys. ward Carlton Bragg Carlton.’

“When all in high school in Ohio this stuff started, when he was 16 years old, I said, ‘Hey, man, the only promise you’ve gotta make me is that you’re not gonna let any of this change who you are.’”

As a person, it hasn’t. If anything, the smiling-and-still-growing forward who seems to be poised for a breakout season for Bill Self’s squad is as humble and kind as Kwasniak remembers him. And the unexpected souvenir which now sits in his office at Villa Angela-St. Joseph High back in Cleveland served as proof that Bragg had heard Kwasniak’s request.

eighth Kansas City pitcher, struck out three in two perfect innings to pick up the victory. Matt Albers (2-5) was charged with the loss.

Jarrod Dyson led off the 13th inning with a triple, but the Royals failed to get him home. Dan Jennings struck out the next three batters: Drew Butera, Alex Gordon and Alcides Escobar.

Throughout the summer, Joe Dee Tarbutton was wrestling with the decision to continue as Lawrence High’s softball coach.

His father died in May and he wanted to focus on his family in Maple Hill.

About three weeks ago, Tarbutton made up his mind. He informed school officials and his former players that he was resigning as the school’s softball coach after three seasons.

“I just had Tarbutton a lot of family things going on over the last three years,” Tarbutton said. “Both parents had passed away, I lost my dog and I was going through a divorce. All of my family lives here in Maple Hill so that was the biggest thing.

It was really bittersweet. I hate leaving the kids. I hate leaving the program. But I thought it over the entire summer and just decided that would be best for right now.”

WICHITA RESIDENT NICO MIGUEL HERNANDEZ, TOP, fights Ecuador’s Carlos Eduardo Quipo Pilataxi during a men’s light flyweight 49-kg quarterfinals Wednesday at the Olympics.

With winds too blustery, rowers packed up their oars for the day as cyclists hit slick roads on skinny time-trial bikes unsuited to harsh weather conditions.

Under dark skies, the cyclists faced lashing rain and wind on the time-trial course along Rio’s southern coast. The conditions might have cost Ellen van Dijk of the Netherlands a medal. She slid off the road and got tangled in weeds before finishing fourth.

American Kristin Armstrong won the race.

With the cooler weather, away went the bare skin and out came the full leggings and long-sleeve shirts in beach volleyball as temperatures dipped into the lower 60s after sunset, the coldest night yet.

Even after a grueling night at the pool, Michael Phelps cruised through the preliminaries of the 200-meter individual medley.

With a dazzling 15.8 on the high bar, Kohei Uchimura, the superstar gymnast from Japan, won the men’s all-around title

on Wednesday night, edging Oleg Verniaiev of Ukraine by less than a tenth of a point to capture his second straight Olympic gold.

Defending champion Mexico was eliminated from the men’s soccer tournament with a 1-0 loss to South Korea.

In boxing, Kansas fighter Nico Hernandez is guaranteed to win at least a bronze and become the first American to medal in the Olympics since 2008.

Other highlights from Day 5 at the Rio Games: SWIMMING SHOCKER: Kazakhstan has its first Olympic swimming medal, and it’s golden. Dmitriy Balandin pulled off a stunning upset in the men’s 200-meter breaststroke, winning from the eighth lane to put his central Asian country on the swimming medal stand for the first time.

EBNER ELIMINATED: Nate Ebner, the safety for the New England Patriots who took a break from training camp to fulfill his Olympic dream, sprinted from almost halfway to score a try in the right corner against Fiji to make it 24-19, piling the pressure on Madison Hughes. But the U.S. captain and goal kicker missed the conversion from out wide, leaving the margin at five. Less than that and the Americans would have advanced.

ROWING AT RISK: Twentytwo races, including the first two medal races, were postponed in the regatta but international rowing federation director Matt Smith said there’s still room on the schedule without having to resort to drastic measures — even if competition is also called off today.

LIFE’S A BEACH: The American beach volleyball team of Jake Gibb and Casey Patterson were eliminated from the Olympics on a tiebreaker.

That’s the first U.S men’s team to fail to advance out of pool play since the 2004 Athens Games. On the women’s side, April Ross and Kerri Walsh Jennings defeated Switzerland and boisterously celebrated after the match. But the Americans lost a set — something that has happened only once to Walsh Jennings in the last three Olympics.

Chiefs evaluate corner corps St. Joseph, Mo. (ap) — The reality of injuries sustained in the NFL can be harsh.

When a player like Phillip Gaines suffers a serious injury, there’s never a guarantee a spot will still be available upon his return. The Chiefs’ third-round draft pick out of Rice in 2014 worked into a starting role by the end of his rookie year and reassumed that position last year.

A torn ACL suffered in Week 3 during a loss to the Packers ended Gaines’ season and clouded his future.

Gaines left offseason activities as the presumed second starter at cornerback opposite 2015 Defensive Rookie of the Year Marcus Peters.

Gaines and Steve Nelson have split time on the right side with the first team so far in training camp, and Gaines clearly fits into the Chiefs’ plans.

“It just feels good to be able to have the opportunity to play, and I’m going to try and make the most of it,” Gaines said.

The Chiefs listed Nelson, a third-round pick out of Oregon State in 2015, as the second starter in the first depth chart released earlier this week.

Gaines continues to slowly work back from the knee injury, and Kansas City coach Andy Reid limited his participation in Wednesday’s practice, the last one in pads ahead of the preseason opener against Seattle on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium. Reid said he would attempt to play everyone on the roster, and the early portion could provide

When the high school coach and his former star pupil get together these days, basketball is just one of the topics they discuss. They talk family, school, life and the future, and, of course, reminisce about the past.

“My love for that young man has nothing to do with his ability to put the ball through the hoop,” Kwasniak said.

“That’s Coach Self’s job. ... I’ve said this to all of the college coaches or even the NBA GMs who I’ve talked to: Whatever the ‘it’ is, he has it. And that has a lot more to do with intangibles than the basketball stuff.”

Of course, it’s “the basketball stuff” that’s the biggest reason Bragg is at Kansas. And after playing in all 38 games as a freshman and showing hints of the scoring ability and explosive play of which Kwasniak and others say he’s capable, Bragg now sits on the brink of a big opportunity. Gone is

the White Sox a 2-1 lead, but closer David Robertson failed to hold it.

Anderson, who had struck out four times, hit a soft liner over the head of first baseman Eric Hosmer to score Todd Frazier, who led off the inning with a single off Chien-Ming Wang.

Robertson, who has blown saves in the first two games of the series, walked Hosmer to lead off the bottom of the 11th. Jarrod Dyson sacrificed him to second and Salvador Perez’s double scored Hosmer.

White Sox left-hander Jose Quintana limited the Royals to four hits and one run over 7 1-3 innings.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS CORNERBACK KEIVARAE RUSSELL, RIGHT, DEFENDS wide receiver Seantavius Jones during training camp Wednesday in St. Joseph, Mo. a first look at how the Chiefs deploy the cornerbacks alongside Peters, who grabbed eight interceptions and returned two for touchdowns in his first season.

The Chiefs’ cornerbacks corps took a hit in the offseason when Sean Smith left in free agency for the Oakland Raiders, leaving a starting spot open, with Gaines, Nelson, Marcus Cooper and a trio of rookies looking to earn playing time.

None of those seven players has more than three years of experience.

“Real talented group.

We’ve just got to come along,” Peters said.

“That’s what camp is for.

As camp goes on, everyone gets a lot more comfortable and the speed of the game slows down and you start making your plays. I love the talent.

Everyone’s out here competing.”

Gaines started his career in Kansas City with a prominent role on special teams. He started five games in 2014 before a concussion and illness ended his season after 13 games.

With Smith suspended the first three games of 2015, Gaines earned a starting spot. But his season ended in the game before Smith returned.

He has 26 tackles and no interceptions in his first 16 NFL matches.

Nelson didn’t play much early in 2015, but Gaines’ injury and other struggles in the secondary helped him get on the field in 12 games. His biggest moment came in a playoff win against the Houston Texans when he briefly subbed for Peters and broke up a pass

intended for star wideout DeAndre Hopkins.

Cooper currently has the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind Peters. Cooper showed flashes in 2013 with three interceptions, but struggled in 2014 and made just two tackles in 10 games last year.

The rookie draft picks sit behind the top four attempting to make their case for a spot in the rotation.

KeiVarae Russell (third round, Notre Dame), Eric Murray (fourth round, Minnesota) and D.J. White (sixth round, Georgia Tech) were all taken to add depth at a seemingly thin spot. Currently, Murray and sixth-year veteran defensive back Jamell Fleming, who has played some cornerback the past two years with Kansas City, are listed at safety on the depth chart.

Perry Ellis, the senior forward who was a fixture in the Kansas offense for the past four years. And the player most likely to step into his place is Bragg.

Kwasniak said the two kicked the concept around a little during his recent visit, but insisted that the fact that they did not need to address it was the more telling part about whether Bragg was ready.

“I think he realizes it,” said Kwasniak when asked if he thought Bragg was aware of what awaits.

“But it’s in his personality to not be too uptight or too serious. That’s just who he is. ... He’s had such ridiculous expectations put on him his whole life that it’s pretty tough for him to fail at this point. He’s already accomplished so much.”

Like many Kansas fans and even a few key people inside the program, Kwasniak strongly believes Bragg will be a much more potent player than his 3.8-point, 2.5-rebound Year 1 averages in 8.9 minutes per game suggest.

For one, he’s a believer in Bragg and knows, more

than most, how willing the young man is to put in the work required to be great. He’s seen it happen before in a very similar situation.

“Between his freshman and sophomore year of high school was as big of a jump as I’ve ever seen,” Kwasniak said. “I don’t think it was the basketball stuff as much as it was the life skills. And that just kind of carried over into the basketball court. That’s when we were like, ‘Whoa, man.

This kid could be really, really special.’”

There are no guarantees that a similar jump is coming, though several signs indicate that the potential is there. But both Bragg and Kwasniak know he’s going to have to improve across the board to become the player he wants to be.

As for the areas getting the most of Bragg’s attention this summer, Kwasniak said the two talked about defending the pickand-roll better and attacking the basket with the dribble more often than he did last season. If he’s successful in upgrading those two areas and con-

tinues to flash the shooting touch and rebounding prowess that surfaced a season ago, Bragg won’t just be a better Jayhawk, he’ll be on his way to becoming a pro.

“Here’s what doesn’t change, going from Villa Angela-St. Joseph to Kansas,” Kwasniak said.

“You’re gonna be judged on winning and losing.

Carlton’s OK with that because he’s been judged that way his whole life.

And he even told me that when we were just there.

He knows his stock takes on a whole different look if Kansas wins a national championship.”

With that in mind, Kwasniak is determined to get back to Lawrence for a game this season.

“I don’t want to pass up the opportunity to get out there and see him,” he said.

In the next breath, he brought it all back to the beginning and the purpose behind his message and those shoes.

“I’m proud of him and I’ll be proud of him even if he never plays in the NBA,” he said. “But my inclination is that he’s in for a big year.”

Given the presence of helmets and the absence of any other protective gear, Beaty guessed players “all over the country” suffered from shoulder injuries during the first few days of August.

“I just think that we should start with shells to be honest with you, ’cause it’s just too much risk,” Beaty said. “You’re hitting people with face masks and shoulders and these are big bodies moving around.”

Nonetheless, Beaty said the Jayhawks handled the preseason standard well. Kansas sophomore defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr. suffered the only significant ding the first two days, an unspecified injury that inspired Beaty and KU’s training staff to ask the standout lineman to refrain from practicing “for a couple days.”

Kansas practices have been closed since Monday, and Beaty hasn’t spoken with media since before Monday’s practice. The Jayhawks, after a two-practice Tuesday, had Wednesday off.

They’re scheduled for two more practices today.

The Fish effect Beaty likes to joke he doesn’t want senior safety Fish Smithson leading Kansas in tackles this season.

The last line of defense in KU’s secondary, the 6-foot defensive back racked up a team-best 111 total tackles in 11 games (Smithson missed the West Virginia loss with an injury) during the Jayhawks’ winless 2015 season, and even led the na-

honoring Tarbutton’s late mother hanging in center field at their home field.

Tarbutton led the Lions to a 34-30 record over the past three seasons, which included a regional victory in 2015, the school’s first postseason win in four years.

Last season, the Lions finished with a 9-12 mark.

“The biggest thing that I always preached for was teamwork,” Tarbutton said. “The wins and losses, they will come along with that. The biggest thing that I hope that we can continue on is the teamwork and the leadership with the older groups.”

Tarbutton said he won’t completely walk away from the sport and will continue offering softball lessons to young players near his new home in Maple Hill (population 620).

KU safety Fish Smithson tion with 7.9 solo tackles a game.

His head coach definitely appreciates Smithson’s nose for the ball and assertive approach. Beaty just wants far more production from KU’s front seven. The coach said if the linemen and linebackers can take care of business defending the run (Kansas opponents averaged 5.7 yards a carry last season), defensive coordinator Clint Bowen and his staff can get more creative schematically.

On the other hand, Beaty added, Smithson is so talented on the back end of the defense it should allow KU to try some different things up front.

“We’ve got a long way to go,” the coach said of KU’s defense. “We’re making progress, but we’re just like everybody else in the country. We don’t know. We’ve gotta put it on the field and see.

Garza gone Offensive lineman Aaron Garza is no longer with the KU football program. Garza red-shirted in 2015, participated in spring football and appears in the Jayhawks’ 2016 media guide, but KU removed him from the official roster at the beginning of preseason camp.

According to Garza’s Twitter account and a series of tweets the last several days, the Sherman, Texas, native has transferred to Sam Houston State.

What will he miss most from his time coaching in Lawrence?

“Oh gosh, absolutely the kids,” Tarbutton said.

“I loved coaching them.

I had one girl even call me up and say that she was sorry that I didn’t like coaching them. It just about took me to tears.

That absolutely wasn’t it.

“I went back and forth and back and forth. It was tough.”

Lawrence athletic director Bill DeWitt said a search for Tarbutton’s replacement is underway and it will likely continue for the next several weeks.

“I’ve had some people contact me,” DeWitt said.

“We’re going to leave it open for a couple of weeks and get school started. Hopefully pull those applicants around the last week of August, first week of September and try to get that nailed down pretty early in the fall so that coach can meet with the girls and get them fall schedules and that kind of thing.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Jays’ Happ first to 16 wins The Associated Press

American League Blue Jays 7, Rays 0 Toronto — J.A. Happ became the first 16-game winner in the major this season, combining with three relievers on a fourhitter in Toronto’s victory over Tampa.

Happ (16-3) allowed four hits, all singles, to win his 10th consecutive decision. Joe Biagini, Jason Grilli and Ryan Tepera worked an inning each to complete Toronto’s seventh shutout.

Troy Tulowitzki homered and had a seasonhigh five RBIs, and Justin Smoak also connected for the Blue Jays. Tulowitzki hit a two-out, three-run homer off Blake Snell (34) in the first inning.

Yankees 9, Red Sox 4 Boston — Benched from the starting lineup once again as his finale approaches, Alex Rodriguez pinch hit and flied out in the seventh inning of the New York Yankees’ comeback win against Boston.

Red Sox star David Ortiz limped off in the ninth inning after fouling a pitch off his right shin.

Rodriguez has just one start and eight at-bats in 17 games since July 22 as New York traded veterans and turned toward a youth movement.

Chants of ‘We Want A-Rod”! echoed around the park at the start of the seventh. He was greeted by loud boos when he stepped out of the dugout to face Matt Barnes.

They were louder when he was announced and again when he trotted back to the dugout after his flyout to right field, which dropped his batting average to .203 and extended his slump to 4 for 37 (.108).

Rodriguez had not appeared in a game since Aug. 2.
