Man given 34 years for meth-fueled crime spree ‘May God forgive me,’ man says prior to sentencing for rape, burglary

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

Miller

A Lawrence man convicted of raping two women and burglarizing four homes in a single night was sentenced Monday to serve 34 years in prison.

Ryan Miller, 36, was arrested Nov. 7, 2015, and originally faced 15 criminal charges. On July 18 he pleaded no contest to one felony count of aggravated criminal sodomy, one felony count of rape and five felony counts of

aggravated burglary.

Before he was sentenced, one of Miller’s victims stood to address the court in an emotionally charged moment. The JournalWorld does not name victims of sex crimes.

The woman spoke of

how she awoke in the dead of night to find Miller assaulting another woman in the home.

The woman, who was also attacked by Miller, spoke quickly, but kept her composure. She read from a notebook, turning its

Last fall, student protests broke out on

campus over what some have called a pattern of racial bias and discrimination at the university.

Those protests coincided with the growing Black Lives Matter movement that erupted in the wake of a series of police shootings of unarmed black men around the country. They also came in the wake of new allegations about female

students being victims of sexual assault on campus.

For example, projects with 50 or more units would have had to set aside 35 percent under the previous proposal.

Bureau of Labor Statistics figures show the average hours worked in a week declined by 2.7 hours.

One possible conclusion is that Lawrence was adding jobs, but lots of them were part-time jobs.

What’s more striking is that Lawrence seemed to be doing so at a rate greater than almost any other community. Eglinski looked at the April 2016 report from the BLS and found that Lawrence had the lowest average hours worked per week of all 387 metro areas included in the study.

I looked at the more recent July numbers, and they showed much the same thing for Lawrence.

Here’s a look at how Lawrence compares with other Kansas communities and a few other college towns in the region: l Statewide: 33.8 hours per week l Lawrence: 28.7 hours per week l Manhattan: 33.7 hours per week l Topeka: 32 hours per week l Wichita: 34 hours per week l Kansas City: 33.8 hours per week l Ames, Iowa: 32 hours per week l Iowa City: 33.2 hours per week l Columbia, Mo.: 31.2 hours per week As you can see, Lawrence is low even for a college community, where you would expect to see more part-time jobs. Surely this figure is related to Lawrence’s most troubling economic statistic: income levels that lag the region.

It seems like it is an issue worth studying. Let’s do so right after we get done with this four-hour coffee break. l As we reported last week, Lawrence’s unemployment rate increased a bit during July, but there’s one industry that definitely is not to blame: the hotel and restaurant industry. Eating, drinking and sleeping are becoming bigger business in Lawrence all the time.

incentives and no affordable housing is going to be built,” said committee member Aron Cromwell.

The committee’s recommendation indicates that requiring such a high percentage to be set aside for affordable housing would function as a deterrent for larger projects. The recommendation states that “the committee has concerns about the 35 percent being too high with the end result being that projects are not completed and no affordable housing is created.”

Cromwell said he thought it was a good compromise.

“We have to come up with something that will work within the business community and be approved,” Cromwell said.

“We have to get everybody on board: developers, advocates, the community. Hopefully, we’ve made our best attempt at tackling this sort of difficult issue and come up with this compromise.”

The shortage of affordable housing in Lawrence

L awrence J ournal -W orld

The number of jobs in the leisure and hospitality industry increased by 500 — or 7.5 percent — in July 2016 compared with July 2015. The industry was the top-growing industry in the city, according to the most recent report.

As for why the growth is occurring, Lawrence has built some new hotels and upgraded others, Rock Chalk Park continues to do well in attracting tournaments, and, perhaps most importantly, the development of south Iowa Street has added several new restaurants that are providing jobs. All those new chicken places may be producing more than just an increase in cholesterol levels.

For whatever reason, the industry also is growing in other Kansas communities. The Wichita area saw growth of 3.1 percent in the leisure and hospitality industry, while the Kansas City metro posted 5.5 percent growth.

Although job growth in any category is good news, job gains in the leisure and hospitality industry usually aren’t the type of jobs that help Lawrence with its goal of increasing overall wages.

Lawrence, however, did post strong numbers in the professional and business services job category, which involves a variety of higher-paying jobs related to the management of companies. Lawrence added 300 of those jobs in the last year. That was good for a 6 percent increase, which is better than the statewide average of 1.4 percent.

Perhaps the toughest news in the report for Lawrence was that the community continues to struggle with manufacturing jobs and, to some extent, construction jobs.

The goods producing category, which includes both construction and manufacturing, is down 5.4 percent. That’s a worse showing than the state as a whole, which saw a decline of 2.7 percent in the category.

The Lawrence report doesn’t separate the manufacturing jobs from the construction jobs, but other reports indicate that construction activity

is still relatively robust in Lawrence.

Here’s a look at some other Lawrence job numbers (for you data geeks, note these are all nonseasonally adjusted) and how we compare with other metro areas in the state: l Lawrence: Overall jobs: 49,500, down 1 percent from July 2015. Top gainers: Leisure and hospitality, up 7.5 percent; professional and business services, up 6 percent; education and health services, up 1.8 percent. Top losers: goods producing jobs, including manufacturing and construction, down 5.4 percent; trade, transportation and utilities, down 2.5 percent; government jobs, down 2.1 percent. l Manhattan: Overall jobs: 41,400, down 0.2 percent from July 2015.

Top gainers: Service providing jobs, up 0.6 percent. Top losers: goods producing jobs, down 5.4 percent; government jobs, down 0.8 percent. l Topeka: Overall jobs 110,400, down 1.4 percent from July 2015. Top gainers: Education and health services, up 1.1 percent.

Top losers: trade, transportation and utilities, down 5.6 percent; manufacturing, down 4.1 percent; government, down 1.5 percent. l Wichita: Overall jobs 295,100, up 1 percent from July 2015. Top gainers: Professional and business services, up 3.6 percent; leisure and hospitality, up 3.1 percent; education and health services, up 2.1 percent; manufacturing, up 0.6 percent. Top losers: mining, logging and construction, down 4.8 percent. l Kansas City, Kan., metro: Overall jobs: 467,700, up 1 percent from July 2015. Top gainers: Leisure and hospitality, up 5.5 percent; mining, logging and construction, up 4.4 percent; financial activities, up 3.7 percent. Top losers: information, down 8.2 percent; manufacturing, down 2.3 percent; government, down 1.1 percent.

is designated through national health rankings as a “severe” problem in Douglas County. For units set aside for affordable housing, the committee is recommending that developers be required to charge income-based rent for those units only for the duration of the incentive period. The previous proposal said the units would have to remain affordable for the duration the project was incentivized, but no less than 15 years.

The affordable housing requirement is part of a larger package of proposed changes to city policies that govern economic development incentives. The city’s use of incentives was a key topic in the most recent election, with several commissioners advocating that economic development policy needed to be modified.

Other recommendations made by the Public Incentives Review Committee are as follows: l Strike the “but for” requirement on Industrial Revenue Bonds as the only cost to the city from implementation of an IRB is a loss of the city’s portion of sales tax on building materials, which is small.

l Open up the cap on analyzing Neighborhood Revitalization Areas beyond the 10 year/50 percent level to allow the pros and cons of an individual project to be examined on its merits.

“Changing this policy maintains flexibility to examine projects which may contribute greatly to our community’s goals,” the recommendation reads. l Projects with less than $1 million in capital investment should be subject to a modest application fee (e.g. $100) to make it palatable for small projects to make requests, but still keep a flood of frivolous applications from being submitted. l Add language on cost recovery to make it clear that any fees an applicant would be required to pay would be clearly defined upfront in an agreement with the city so that they have clear expectations and no surprises.

The City Commission will review the committee’s recommendations at a meeting in mid-October.

Federal appeals court to hear Kansas voter registration case

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach will ask a federal appeals court panel today to reverse a lower court decision that would block the state from enforcing part of its law requiring voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register.

A three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will Kobach hear oral arguments today in Denver in a case that affects an

estimated 17,500 voters who signed up when they renewed their driver’s licenses at local motor vehicle offices.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas filed the case in February, arguing that the state law conflicts with part of the National Voter Registration Act, commonly known as the federal “motor voter” law.

Among other things, that law requires voter registration to be available at all driver’s license offices, and it only requires that voters attest, under penalty of perjury,

that they are U.S. citizens.

In May, U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson granted a preliminary injunction requiring the state to register all voters who had used that option since the law took effect in 2013 and allow them to vote, at least in federal races, during the 2016 election cycle.

That injunction is set to stay in force until the court conducts a full trial in the lawsuit, which is currently set for May 2017.

After the 10th Circuit refused to issue a stay of that order pending appeal, Kobach enacted new regulations that

effectively set up a dual registration system in which those voters who had registered at motor vehicle offices without showing proof of citizenship would have to cast provisional ballots, and only their votes in federal races would be counted.

But in a hastily filed case in state court, a Shawnee County judge issued another order just days before the Aug. 2 primary temporarily blocking that regulation from being enforced.

That enabled those affected voters to cast full ballots in the primary races. After the election, however, county election

officers reported that only a handful of such voters actually took advantage of the rulings by voting in the primary.

Kobach has argued that the injunctions put administrative burdens on his agency, and on county election offices, and that they create confusion on Election Day over who is allowed to vote and who is not.

Kobach lobbied for passage of the law in 2011, immediately after taking office, saying it is needed to prevent non-U.S. citizens from voting in Kansas elections.

But the ACLU argues that there have only been a few rare cases

Eudora City Commission approves $1.41M bond sale

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

The Eudora City Commission approved Monday the sale of $1.41 million in general obligations bonds to Ameritrade Investment of Omaha, Neb. Representative of Springsted Financial LLC, the city’s financial consulting firm, told commissioners there were five bids for the 15-year bonds. Ameritrade won with an interest rate of 1.67 percent. The sale is to close Sept. 15.

The city was given a $30,000 premium, which reduced the bond sale from the $1.44 million total the City Commission authorized last month.

The bonds will provide financing for a $475,000 new fire truck to replace the city’s 30-year-old pumper and $965,000 to pay for the electrical department’s new wireless meters. Although the sale was for general obligation, which means they are backed by the city’s “full faith, credit and resources,” the electrical department’s user

fees will retire the debt for the wireless meters, while the debt for the fire truck would be paid off through property tax revenue.

The city’s AA- credit rating was re-affirmed during the bond sale, commissioners were told.

The City Commission wrapped up the short meeting with a work session on the city’s new website design. Leslie Herring, assistant to the city manager, said the design was on track to go live on Nov. 17. The Castle Rock, Colo., website

served as a model for the redesign, which will feature information displayed over a background of photographs of the city.

The new website will have a navigation bar across the top of the page that links to city employment openings, news, online payment, “notify me” opportunities and City Commission and Planning Commission agendas.

Ride accidents spark demands for regulation

By Kathleen Foody, Erik Schelzig and Claire Galofaro Associated Press

Nashville, Tenn. — In some parts of the U.S., the thrill rides that hurl kids upside down, whirl them around or send them shooting down slides are checked out by state inspectors before customers climb on. But in other places, they are not required to get the once-over.

The grisly death of a 10-year-old boy on a Kansas water slide and a Ferris wheel accident that injured three little girls at a county fair in Tennessee this summer have focused attention on what safety experts say is an alarming truth about amusement rides: How closely they are regulated varies greatly from state to state.

“Fifty states in the United States of America and no two inspect rides the same way. That’s wrong,” said Ken Martin, an amusement park

“We’re not close to being in the same book, state to state. We’re not even on the same page of the hymnal. We certainly aren’t singing in key.”

Twenty-nine deaths on amusement rides or

water slides have been reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission since 2010, spokeswoman Patty Davis said.

The amusement park industry has successfully lobbied against federal oversight for decades, and the CPSC doesn’t regulate rides at

permanent parks like the one in Kansas. It oversees only traveling carnival rides, like the Ferris wheel that broke in Tennessee. Even then, federal investigators don’t conduct routine inspections; they respond only after accidents.

So whether a ride has to be inspected before thrill-seekers hop on depends on what state it’s in.

Six states — Mississippi, Alabama, Nevada, South Dakota, Wyoming and Utah — have no laws at all that require inspections, according to Saferparks, a nonprofit group that pushes to improve safety. In most cases, the ride operators’ insurance companies require only annual inspections, Martin said, and the insurers set the criteria.

Institutional Opportunity and Access, and engage in more diversity training.

In response to those protests, Gray-Little and then-interim Provost Sara Rosen established a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion advisory group to review cases of discrimination and intolerance on campus and to make recommendations about how the university could improve its campus climate.

That group issued a report in April that called for a number of reforms in university policies and practices to provide more support for minority and international students, and to improve the university’s hiring practices to attract more diverse faculty and staff.

“I also expect us to continue our conversations about diversity and inclusion, and you can expect to learn about next steps related to the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion advisory group report later this semester,” Gray-Little said in her message Monday.

Tennessee follows a similar self-inspection protocol. The state relies on private inspectors hired by operators or accepts inspections conducted on traveling rides in other states.

On the other end, New Jersey is considered one of the toughest for its cadre of state-trained inspectors and engineers who routinely inspect rides. Pennsylvania, likewise, has a rigorous system that includes more than 1,000 state-trained inspectors.

Martin and others say the federal government should operate something equivalent to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which protects workers on the job. He says the government has a duty to set uniform standards for rides, such as mandatory inspections and training protocols for inspectors.

But David Mandt, a spokesman for the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, a trade group, said that injuries are rare and that a federal program of inspectors would cost taxpayers millions.

“We believe strong local and state regulation is the most effective government oversight for the industry,” he said in an email. “The states need the flexibility to create and enforce laws relevant to the attractions in their state, and that’s what they have done.”

In the Kansas accident, Caleb Schwab was decapitated on the world’s tallest water slide on Aug. 7. Authorities have yet to say what went wrong, but at least one rider has reported that the nylon harness straps came loose on previous trips down the slide.

In Tennessee, a Ferris wheel gondola overturned, spilling three girls more than 30 feet to the ground. One, a 6-year-old, suffered a traumatic brain injury. Authorities blamed worn-out rivet fasteners on the underside of the carriage.

Meanwhile, a spokeswoman in the office of Provost Neeli Bendapudi said Monday that decisions haven’t been finalized about how those cuts would be applied, saying it may be the end of this week or early next week before any announcements are made.

That cut includes $7 million to the Lawrence campus and $3.7 million to the KU Medical Center campus in Kansas City, Kan. The allotment cuts amounted to an average of 4 percent for most state agencies and programs other than K-12 education and public safety functions. But within the Regents university system, KU and K-State took proportionately larger cuts, around 5 percent, in order to spare the smaller regional universities that are more reliant on state general fund money for their overall operations.

Miller’s actions will affect his victims for the rest of their lives, she said.

Defense Attorney Branden Smith said the night Miller was arrested he took methamphetamine for the first time, which resulted in “a bad night for everyone.”

However, District Attorney Charles Branson countered that the drug “did nothing but free him of his inhibitions.”

Douglas County District Judge Kay Huff sentenced Miller to serve 34 years in prison for the felony aggravated criminal sodomy and rape charges. For each of the felony aggravated burglary charges, Miller was sentenced to serve 32 months in prison, though that sentence — a total of more than 13 years — will be served concurrently with the larger sentence.

accidents or injuries from state to state. The figures available are all estimates extrapolated from a sampling of accidents.

The CPSC estimates that 37,300 people of all ages went to emergency rooms in 2015 after being injured on amusement rides, a category that includes bounce houses, mechanical bulls and other attractions. That number is based on reports from some hospitals.

Dr. Gary Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, analyzed the data from between 1990 and 2010 and estimated that an average of more than 4,400 children per year are injured on rides at amusement parks and water parks.

Smith said researchers need better numbers

on the scope of the problem and its causes if they hope to come up with solutions. “This is a public health problem, and we need to treat it like a public health problem,” he said. “That starts with a national approach to collecting data.”

The CPSC regulated both traveling and permanent amusement rides until 1981, when Congress limited the agency’s authority to traveling carnivals. Lobbying records dating to 1999 show that the trade association has spent about $11.3 million lobbying Congress.

State laws also draw opposition from industry representatives.

In a second Missouri Street home, Miller sexually assaulted two women. He was found in the home’s basement, hiding, after the two women fled the home, police said.

Two detectives testified that Miller said he broke into the homes because he needed money to buy drugs and to retrieve an impounded car.

Before he was sentenced Miller apologized to his victims.

“I’m disgusted and ashamed of myself,” he said. “May God forgive me.”

Once released from prison, Miller will be subjected to post-release supervision for the rest of his life.

BRIEFLY Kansas mom, toddler rescued from tree after flash flood hits Rose Hill (ap) — A Kansas mother who was caught in flash flooding says she is “blessed” after she and her 3-year-old son were rescued from a tree.

The Wichita Eagle reports that 32-year-old Cassandra Phillips of Burlington pulled her toddler, Ethan, from his car seat Friday night after floodwaters rose around her minivan in rural Rose Hill, 10 miles southeast of Wichita.

She spent an hour clinging to the tree limb with one leg while holding her son in the crook of her arm and talking to emergency dispatchers on her cellphone.

The National Guard soldier and mother of three says she didn’t mean to drive into a flood. She says the light was dim and that she was focusing on the “white lines of the road” when the van began floating.

Should the CIP schedule remain as now planned, the additional CR 1055 upgrades would start in 2018 with $2 million of improvements to about 1.8 miles of CR 1055 from the Wakarusa River Bridge south to its intersection with CR 458.

The work will include

requirements following a 1988 accident.

“I’m speaking semitongue-in-cheek only when I say I had to fight the carnival-industrial complex,” he said.

Florida set pretty high standards: State inspectors look at most rides routinely. But there is an exemption for parks with more than 1,000 employees that have their own full-time inspectors — like Disney, Universal and SeaWorld.

The public tends to howl for regulation after major accidents.

In 2004, June Alexander, a 51-year-old woman who took her son to an unregulated, roadside amusement park in the Great Smoky Mountains to celebrate his 15th birthday, plummeted more than 60 feet to her death from a swinging gondola ride in front of

her family. Her harness had failed to engage. An investigation found that the ride’s safety system had been bypassed. The park’s manager was convicted of reckless homicide.

Tennessee legislators scrambled to pass laws that required operators to have insurance, permits and inspections.

“We thought some good had been done,” said R. Price Nimmo, an attorney who represented the Alexander family.

But by 2014, a state audit found the ride inspection unit was failing. In response, the state decided to stop inspections altogether and rely on operators and other states’ regulators.

So when an amusement company took apart a Ferris wheel in Indiana, drove it to Tennessee and put it back

The state relied on the Indiana inspection and gave it permission to start spinning. It broke at the Greene County Fair last week.

Republican Gov. Bill Haslam said last week that it was too soon to say what the state might do in reaction to protect riders.

Nimmo held out little hope that the accidents will result in lasting reforms: “There will be a big furor. Then two years from now, they’ll be back to doing what they were doing before.”

Bad beginning Delays and setbacks in the HERE apartment project raise questions regarding community investment.

T

o date, the opening of the HERE apartment complex has created a negative first impression for many students and parents who have made Lawrence their university community of choice. That’s a real disappointment, especially given the amount of assistance taxpayers are providing this project.

The 624-bed, $75 million apartment complex at 11th and Mississippi near Memorial Stadium was originally supposed to open to tenants, most of them University of Kansas students, on Aug. 7. But construction delays have pushed back the project, leaving tenants, many of them from out of town, in limbo for several days.

Tenants arrived last week after HERE sent out an email saying tenants would be able to move in Wednesday morning. Hundreds of prospective residents showed up at the complex — vehicles stuffed with all their belongings — only to learn that the complex still didn’t have a certificate of occupancy. They were told the apartments would be ready Wednesday afternoon. But Wednesday afternoon became Thursday evening before the city felt the complex was safe enough to issue a temporary occupancy permit, allowing some tenants to start moving in.

Construction delays happen. What is harder to understand is how HERE communicated with its tenants about when the project was going to be completed.

There appeared to be a lot of last-minute communication that surely could have been avoided. Even casual observers could tell there was going to be a real question about whether the project was going to finish on time.

Lawrence residents had hoped for better on this project. The development has received approval for an 85 percent property tax rebate. Developers said the incentive was needed to make the project financially feasible. The request produced much consternation in the community, but the past City Commission approved the rebate with the idea that this project was going to be special for the community.

Perhaps it ultimately will be. The multistory building certainly is an improvement over the aged apartment complex that previously existed on the site.

The project still merits scrutiny by city officials. The temporary permit the city has issued the project doesn’t mean the complex is completed. To the contrary, 90 tenants remain in limbo as the temporary permit blocked them from occupying unfinished units on two floors of the complex. Also, city inspectors noted in the permit that 29 items still need to be complete by Sept. 1, if not earlier. Those include several safety items, such as the installation of permanent guardrails, reconstruction of exterior concrete stairs and the completion of window stops for floors above the third level.

No one should be surprised that the HERE project stumbled out of the gate.

Last fall, students at the University of Illinois found themselves in a similar predicament as the HERE complex built in Champaign struggled to open and when it did, tenants were asked to move into unfinished units.

The Lawrence complex’s final certificate of occupancy won’t be issued for at least another six months, and is contingent on completion of an additional parking lot. HERE developers have proposed a plan to build a lot, but it needs approval from the City Commission before moving forward. What are the chances the parking issue gets resolved before the sixmonth deadline?

The HERE project was highly anticipated. As noted, the City Commission provided the project with an 85 percent property tax rebate after CA Ventures, the Chicago group that is the developer on the project, touted the apartment building as a major boon for the city. There certainly is reason to question that decision, and city commissioners really ought to determine whether providing incentives to apartment projects — of which there are no shortage of in Lawrence — is a wise strategy.

To date, the HERE project not only has construction work to finish, but also has work to convince the community that it has made a good investment.

Blaming ‘elites’ and ‘media’ misguided Washington — Let us now praise the most reviled group of people in America: so-called “elites.” And how about a round of applause for the hated “mainstream media” as well.

If you listen to Donald Trump, or even if you paid attention to Bernie Sanders during the primary season, you might think all the nation’s problems can be blamed on two pointy-headed cabals. The “elites” who rigged the system to benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else; and the puppy-dog “mainstream media” or “MSM,” also known as the “corporate media,” who were complicit.

Even as the Trump campaign devolves into raving lunacy and most Sanders supporters line up behind Hillary Clinton, the idea lives on: “Regular” or “everyday” Americans have been failed by out-of-touch elites and the MSM who basically have screwed up the country.

Such thinking is no more sound than Trump’s conviction that all the nation’s ills should be blamed on Mexicans and Muslims.

First, the elites: Who are they, anyway? I’ve always tried to avoid using the term because it is so imprecise as to be virtually meaningless.

If it means those with exceptional wealth, power or influence, then surely a billionaire such as Trump and

Eugene Roninson eugenerobinson@washpost.com

“

Ignorance is not a virtue. Knowledge is not a vice.” a U.S. senator such as Sanders would qualify as members. If you fly around in a private jet with your name on the side, or sit among just 535 men and women who get to write the nation’s laws, you’re obviously not what anyone would call ordinary.

I suppose their supporters might see them as traitors to their class.

Often the word “elites” is used to mean “experts,” as in “foreign policy elites have made a tragic mess of the Middle East” or “economic policy elites have given away the store in lopsided free-trade agreements.”

Let’s assume that both these propositions are true. It is a matter of historical fact that the architects of the Iraq War — the single biggest U.S. foreign policy blunder in my lifetime — and the authors of NAFTA and other

free-trade pacts were, indeed, recognized experts in their fields.

But what makes anyone think the Middle East would be less bloody, or the Islamic State less of a terrorist threat, if U.S. policy had been run by people who had no expertise — who knew nothing about the region’s history, religious schisms or ethnic divides? Or that a better Trans-Pacific Partnership pact could be negotiated by someone wholly unfamiliar with the arcane minutiae of international trade agreements?

Ignorance is not a virtue.

Knowledge is not a vice.

Pointy-heads who spend years gaining expertise in a given field may make mistakes, but the remedy is to replace them with pointyheads who have different views — not with knownothings who would try to navigate treacherous terrain on instinct alone. (See: Trump’s policy positions on, well, anything.)

As for the much-disparaged media, I get emails every day from people who demand to know why we in the “MSM” or “corporate media” are covering up some scandal. The emails then go on to describe said scandal at great length and in microscopic detail, often quoting stories from The Washington Post, The New York Times, NBC News or other leading media

outlets. I often write back that if we’re trying to cover up the outrage in question, we’re obviously doing a lousy job.

One of the glories of this country is that anybody with a website can be a journalist.

One of the realities, however, is that only news organizations of a certain size have the resources and, yes, the expertise to unearth some stories. There are exceptions, of course — bloggers who come to own a certain niche of subject matter, say, or scribes who know every nook and cranny of a given community. But day in and day out, it’s the MSM that delivers the goods.

Many who attack the media for being feckless or out of touch really have a different complaint: You should spend more column inches and air time reinforcing my view of the world.

Sorry, but that’s not what we’re here for.

When he bought The Washington Post in 1933, Eugene Meyer published a set of seven “principles,” which began with this one: “The first mission of a newspaper is to tell the truth as nearly as the truth may be ascertained.”

There is such a thing as the truth, just as there is such a thing as valuable expertise. Even if it’s “elite” and “mainstream” to say so.

TODAY IN HISTORY l On Aug. 23, 1926, legendary silent film star Rudolph Valentino died in New York at age 31. l In 1775, Britain’s King George III proclaimed the American colonies to be in a state of “open and avowed rebellion.” l In 1927, amid protests, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were executed in Boston for the murders of two men during a 1920 robbery. l In 1973, a bank robberyturned-hostage-taking began in Stockholm, Sweden; the four hostages ended up empathizing with their captors, a psychological condition now referred to as “Stockholm Syndrome.”

$375K for Castro party while nation suffers Venezuela is suffering its worst economic crisis in recent memory, but that doesn’t seem to have stopped President Nicolas Maduro from spending $375,000 to travel to Cuba with an 80-member delegation — including musicians, dancers, relatives and friends — to celebrate the 90th birthday of Cuba’s retired maximum leader Fidel Castro.

When I read this news report in the Venezuelan daily El Nacional, my first reaction was to wonder whether the figures were accurate.

So I called opposition Congressman Carlos Berrizbeitia, the legislator who had disclosed these figures at a National Assembly session, and asked him how he had come up with his estimate.

Berrizbeitia, a member of the National Assembly’s appropriations committee, told me that Maduro traveled to Cuba on Aug. 12 with about 80 people aboard three airplanes, including the 45-55 passenger presidential aircraft, an older 45-55 passenger presidential plane and a smaller Falcon aircraft owned by Venezuela’s state-run PDVSA oil monopoly.

The fuel expenses of the three planes for the 2,700mile round-trip amounted to about $270,000, he said.

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

In addition, the Venezuelan delegation spent about $250 per person a day in food and lodging, which added $105,000 to the total bill, he said.

“The Cuban dictator’s birthday party cost us Venezuelans nearly $400,000, at a time when we have widespread shortages of food and medicines at home,” Berrizbeitia told me.

Asked how he knows that Maduro’s delegation flew in three aircraft, and totaled about 80 people, Berrizbeitia told me that most of the information is public. The pictures of Maduro’s planes landing in Havana are all over the internet, and Maduro traveled — in addition to his security team, journalists, relatives and friends — with Venezuela’s “Corazón Llanero” folkloric troupe, which is made up of dozens of singers and dancers.

Indeed, the Venezuelan

government-funded TeleSur’s website reported on Aug. 14 that at least 40 members of the group had performed in a special birthday show for Castro at Havana’s Karl Marx Theater that day.

“Venezuela paid homage to Fidel with a show

by Corazón Llanero,” the TeleSur dispatch said.

“More than 40 Venezuelans on stage, between singers, artists, dancers and representatives of Venezuelan music, arrived in Cuban territory to pay homage to the Cuban leader.”

In addition, there were dozens of Venezuelan security guards, television announcers and technicians of Venezuela’s governmentrun television network who broadcast the show live to Venezuela.

According to Berrizbeitia, Maduro has already spent more than $14 million in 22 trips abroad since he took office three years ago. One of the most expensive ones was a trip to China last year, when he took more than 80 guests with him, including the two nephews of his wife who now are in prison in New York on drug trafficking charges, that cost more than $1 million, he said.

“Maduro should have to explain these expenses, but this government is used to not being accountable to

anybody,” Berrizbeitia told me. “They have co-opted all government institutions, and operate with total impunity.”

Maduro’s excesses could have been understandable when oil prices were at $146 a barrel and Venezuela was awash in money. But now, Venezuela is in a shambles, with a more than 700 percent annual inflation rate that is the highest in the world, an economy that is projected to contract by 10 percent this year, and massive food shortages.

Most supermarket shelves are empty. People have to wait in lines for hours under the sun to buy whatever they can find, and hundreds of thousands are seeking to flee the country.

It’s time for the international community to press Maduro to accept humanitarian aid for Venezuela, and to ask him to respect his own country’s National Assembly demands that he stop throwing money away while millions of Venezuelans are going hungry. Venezuela is on the verge of a refugee crisis that could spill over to much of Latin America, and Maduro should not be spending a fortune for retired foreign dictators’ birthday parties.

Transgender rule blocked in Texas Judge: Feds exceeded their authority under law banning sex discrimination in schools Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

A federal judge in Texas sided with school districts opposing the Obama administration’s directive on transgender bathrooms, temporarily blocking the directive before the first day of school in Texas on Monday.

The ruling prevents the U.S. Department of Education from WASHINGTON

implementing guidance that required school districts to allow transgender students to choose which restroom and locker facilities to use.

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor’s 38-page order said federal agencies exceeded their authority under a 1972 law banning sex discrimination in schools. The injunction applies nationwide and follows other recent court rulings against transgender students and employees.

The Texas ruling, issued late Sunday, turned on the congressional intent behind Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which requires that “facilities provided for students of one sex shall be comparable to such facilities provided for students of the other sex.”

“It cannot be disputed that the plain meaning of the term sex” in that law “meant the biological and anatomical differences between male and female students as determined at their birth,” the judge wrote. “Without question, permitting educational institutions to provide separate housing

“This case presents the difficult issue of balancing the protection of students’ rights and that of personal privacy when using school bathrooms.”

to male and female students, and separate educational instruction concerning human sexuality, was to protect students’ personal privacy, or discussion of their personal privacy, while in the presence of members of the opposite biological sex.”

The judge ruled that the Obama administration failed to follow the law requiring that it get input from the public before drafting such regulations. He suggested that the federal guidance could be implemented if the Department of Education conducts v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Mourners carry a victim’s coffin at a funeral Sunday for dozens killed in a bomb attack the day before in Gaziantep, Turkey.

A child whose attempted suicide bombing in Iraq was thwarted Sunday and other minors used in successful terror attacks are part of the Islamic State’s strategy to develop a new generation of believers to carry on its violent ideology.

“Most terror groups find it difficult to rationalize or explain child recruitment,” said John Horgan, a researcher at Georgia State University who is co-writing a book on the subject. “The

Don’t be lulled by relatively mild fire season

Past its peak, there’s still potential to burn John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

A series of wildfires roaring through eastern Washington on Monday destroyed more than a dozen homes — a stern warning that a relatively quiet Western fire season is far from over.

Six fires have burned more than 70 square miles in recent days, forcing evacuation of more than 300 homes, state Depart-

ment of Natural Resources spokesman Joe Smillie told USA TODAY. One fire jumped across the Columbia River early Monday, a reflection of the strong winds firefighters battled, he said.

Smillie said the fires punctuate a fire season that has been mostly quiet in his state. Though firefighters in California have battled massive destructive blazes this summer, much of the West has benefited from a relatively calm fire season.

Robyn Broyles, spokeswoman for the National Interagency Fire Center, said the season has eased past its peak and is “trending on the lower side” for the year.

“California makes it look like the world is on fire, but it’s not,” Broyles said. She said that even in California, where six major fires are burning, the longer nights as autumn draws closer have provided firefighters with cooler temperatures and higher humidity to make gains.

Broyles credited a heavy winter snowpack followed by reasonably strong spring rains for the relatively mild fire season. Timber and grasses absorbed more moisture, making them less susceptible to fire. Additionally, the monsoon season rains were prompt in the Southwest last month, easing fire danger in Ari-

zona and New Mexico. That allowed firefighting resources to shift to other areas where they were needed, she said.

Smillie said Washington had a good snowpack, although it was partially mitigated by the state’s hottest April on record. “May and June were pretty wet, so that gave us some help,” he said.

All is not quiet on the Western fire front, however. More than two dozen major fires that have scorched more than 600 square miles are burning in California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Wyoming. About half of those acres have burned in California.

Islamic State is one of the few groups that is very proud to announce to the world, not only are they doing it, but it’s also the future.”

Sunday, a boy age 12 or 13 was captured in Kurdish-held Kirkuk, Iraq, before he could detonate an explosive belt he said had been strapped to his body by masked men, the Kurdish news agency Rudaw reported. Security officials carefully defused and removed the bomb.

That incident occurred as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said a suicide bomber v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Trump as Trump is the only option pores over Clinton emails VOICES

Susan Page

@susanpage USA TODAY

Let Trump be Trump. For one thing, there’s no other option.

That’s a lesson from past presidential campaigns that neither family members nor political strategists nor admakers can defy. The same is true for the other side: Let Hillary be Hillary.

Let’s stipulate that campaigns are too long, too driven by the occasional misstep and too little focused on the policies the prospective presidents would pursue in office. But, as I cover my 10th campaign, I’d argue that the length and scrutiny of campaigns also give voters a glimpse into some of the qualities that matter most in the leader they’ll entrust with their country.

In the course of the first campaign I covered, in 1980, Ronald Reagan convinced skeptical voters, unhappy with the leadership of President Jimmy Carter, that the conservative hero and former California governor was a person they could trust to be commander in chief. In 1988, Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, who came out of the Democratic convention with a formidable 17-point lead, inadvertently ended up convincing voters that he didn’t have the energy and passion they wanted.

Neither outcome was preordained when the general election campaign began. In both, voters came to their conclusions before reporters and pundits fully understood them.

Those decisions weren’t driven by ideology. The online surveys that match voters with the candidate they most closely align with on specific issue posiWASHINGTON

EVAN VUCCI, AP

Donald Trump, speaking at a rally in Altoona, Pa., has reset his campaign with the addition of new advisers.

The length and scrutiny of campaigns give voters a glimpse into qualities that matter most in the leader they’ll entrust with their country. tions miss the point. Ideology matters, of course, but in many ways, the presidential election is less policy-driven than those for other offices. Voters understand that the most critical challenges presidents face are often ones that were barely mentioned in the campaigns that elected them.

You don’t have to go far back in history for examples. Barack Obama campaigned in 2008 on transforming the nation’s polarized politics when the financial meltdown made his first order of business in the White House avoiding another depression.

Though George W. Bush pitched himself as a “compassionate conservative” in the 2000 campaign, his presidency was defined by the 9/11 terror attacks and the wars that followed.

At the moment, Trump and Clinton are proving the point. In political ads or on the stump, neither campaign is talking mostly about tax policy or a health care overhaul or NATO’s future. Instead, each attacks the opponent as lacking the core qualities needed in a president.

It’s about characteristics that come through regardless of any attempts at political plastic surgery during a campaign.

Does Hillary Clinton lack the mental and physical stamina to serve as president, as Trump asserts? After a year-long primary marathon and a nine-week general-election sprint after Labor Day, voters will be able to decide for themselves how vigorous she is.

Does Donald Trump lack the temperament and knowledge to trust him as president, as Clinton argues? Three 90-minute

debates, assuming they take place as proposed by the Commission on Presidential Debates, will let viewers see for themselves how he handles questions and follow-ups more intensive than those in primary debates, when the stages were jammed with GOP hopefuls.

Since Trump prevailed over his 16 competitors, almost all of them more experienced in politics than he is, the talk has been of a pivot, a reset, a reboot, a restart that would make him project a more presidential demeanor. Although candidates often try to slide a bit back to the political center after primary campaigns dominated by partisans of the right or left, they don’t suddenly become different people, with different personas.

Both candidates have wellknown vulnerabilities on that measure. Trump has been full of bluster and bombast — deriding a Gold Star family, questioning the ability of a judge of Mexican heritage to be fair, ridiculing a disabled journalist.

Clinton has become enmeshed in self-inflicted controversies over her decision to exclusively use a private email server as secretary of State and her failure to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest involving donations to the Clinton Foundation from foreign governments and interests.

What will be decisive in this campaign isn’t a well-delivered speech on a teleprompter or a carefully calibrated position. It will be a fundamental assessment about the wisdom and character of a prospective president.

Do we trust this person to handle the crisis that neither the candidate nor the voter knows is ahead?

who was 12 to 14 killed 54 people and injured nearly 70 at an outdoor wedding Saturday in Gaziantep in southeastern Turkey.

Turkish officials backtracked on the bomber’s age Monday, when Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said it was unclear whether the bomber was “a child or a grownup,” according to the Associated Press.

No one claimed responsibility for the attack, though Erdogan blamed the Islamic State, which has been behind other recent attacks in the country.

The use of children to carry out such heinous attacks is not new. The Islamic State has drawn attention with videos of children participating in firing squads and beheadings. The group’s propaganda videos and other publications make clear the role of children in the extremist organization is a norm, not just a shock factor.

O’Connor emphasized that nothing in the law prohibits other states from requiring transgender facilities on their own. “Those states who do not want to be covered by this injunction can easily avoid doing so by state law,” he said. Other lawsuits by transgender students can also go forward, he said.

“This case presents the difficult issue of balancing the protection of students’ rights and that of personal privacy when using school bathrooms, locker rooms, showers and other intimate facilities, while ensuring that no student is unnecessarily marginalized while attending school,” wrote O’Connor, who was nominated by President George W. Bush in 2007 and sits in Fort Worth. “The sensitivity to this matter is heightened because defendants’ actions apply to the youngest child attending school

and continues for every year throughout each child’s educational career.”

The decision is at least the third legal setback for transgender rights in federal court this month.

On Aug. 3, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked a lower court ruling requiring a Virginia school district to allow a biologically female transgender student to use the boy’s restroom. Last Thursday, a federal judge in Detroit upheld the firing of a transgender funeral home employee, ruling that “neither transgender status nor gender identity are protected classes” under anti-discrimination laws.

The Texas case was brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, who led a group of plaintiffs that included 12 other states and two school districts.

The plaintiffs argued that the Obama administration guidance came with the implicit threat that federal education funds could be

withheld if school districts refused to allow transgender students to use the bathroom of their chosen gender identity. The guidance had implications for federal student privacy laws, threatening education officials with sanctions if they failed to address students by their preferred gender pronouns.

In a statement, Paxton praised the ruling as correcting “illegal federal overreach” by the Obama administration.

Then the children participate in beheadings, by handing out knives or leading prisoners to their deaths. uChildren are taken from school to military training, including uniforms, marching, drills, weapons training and continued indoctrination. uThe subjugation phase exposes children to a brutal bootcamp type of experience. They graduate with a deep camaraderie with fellow troops, Horgan said. people and is threatening to take away federal funding from schools to force them to conform,” Paxton said. “That cannot be allowed to continue, which is why we took action to protect states and school districts, who are charged under state law to establish a safe and disciplined environment conducive to student learning.”

The Texas judge’s ruling came the day before the first day of classes for most Texas public schools.

Paul Castillo, a Dallas attorney for the gay rights group Lambda Legal, called the injunction a “bump in the road” and said the case will probably proceed to the federal district court in New Orleans and the U.S. Supreme Court, where it ultimately will be resolved.

“Transgender students are already at high risk of harassment and being targeted for discrimination,” he said. “This decision is certainly indicative of the harm to transgender students who are simply seeking to be treated equally in all aspects of their education.”

15,000 previously undisclosed messages vetted amid lawsuit Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The State Department is reviewing nearly 15,000 emails as part of a batch of previously undisclosed communications that emerged in the FBI’s year-long investigation of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server while secretary of State.

Government lawyers acknowledged the action Monday in federal court where the conservative legal group Judicial Watch seeks release of the messages as part of a public records lawsuit.

The communications, contained in 14,900 documents, represent both personal and work-related materials that must be vetted before they can be made public. “State has not yet had the opportunity to complete a review of the documents to determine whether they are agency records or if they are duplicative of documents State has already produced through the Freedom of Information Act,” spokesman Mark Toner said.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered Monday that the government provide the status of its review by Sept. 23.

The emails, Judicial Watch officials argued, represent a contradiction of assertions by the former secretary of State that all work-related emails had been turned over to State for review.

Judicial Watch’s lawsuit keeps the Clinton email controversy alive after an FBI investigation was closed last month in a decision not to bring criminal charges against the Democratic nominee.

Last week, the FBI provided a summary of its findings to Congress after Republican leaders challenged the conclusions of federal investigators.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus seized on the email review Monday, saying Clinton “seems incapable of telling the truth.”

The Clinton campaign maintained she provided State with all work-related communications in her possession in 2014, but if any new material proves work-related, “we support those documents being released publicly as well,” spokesman Brian Fallon said.

WHITE LIVES MATTER GROUP ACCUSED OF HAVING ITS ROOTS IN RACISM

Armed protesters, waving Confederate banners and signs, rally outside NAACP office in Houston Mary Bowerman USA TODAY Network

Armed protesters carrying “White Lives Matter” signs stood outside the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s office in Houston on Sunday in a demonstration against the organization’s response to the Black Lives Matter group.

The small group of 20 or so people held Confederate battle flags and waved signs, deeming the Black Lives Matter movement a hate group.

“We came here because the NAACP headquarters is here, and that’s one of the most racist groups in America,” Scott Lacy, a White Lives Matter member, told KPRC-TV. Lacy was identified as a member of the Aryan Renaissance Society by Fox 4 News and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

One of the protesters held a sign that simply read, “14 words,” in reference to the white supremacist slogan: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”

NAACP President Cornell William Brooks said that to his knowledge, the White Lives Matter group has not reached out to the NAACP beyond the protests over the weekend.

“It is not a welcome mat for engagement to brandish a Confederate flag and bring an assault weapon to the NAACP,” Brooks said in a phone interview.

Although the group says it formed organically as a direct response to the Black Lives Matter movement, which is a civil rights campaign against police killings of black men across the country, White Lives Matter has roots in white supremacy, according to Mark Potok, senior fellow at the

Southern Poverty Law Center.

“It’s not a real movement at all,” Potok said. “These are a few very small neo-Nazi, Klan and similar groups that have formed to push this narrative into the mainstream.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center tracked the group’s inception to 2015 and found that members of the Texas-based neo-Nazi group Aryan Renaissance Society (ARS) ran White Lives Matter Facebook pages and encouraged white people interested in White Lives Matter to contact ARS members.

The protest in Houston was not the first.

Potok said Aryan Renaissance Society members distributed White Lives Matter fliers around Houston, and several members

held up signs at a funeral service for a Harris County sheriff’s deputy who was gunned down in 2015 by a man who had multiple encounters with law enforcement.

Potok said small gatherings of White Lives Matter protesters have popped up across the country, though the groups are “small and scattered.”

In Houston, protester Ken Reed told the Houston Chronicle, the NAACP failed to adequately respond to the Black Lives Matter movement, which he and other protesters said has resulted in the “attack and killing of police officers, the burning down of cities and things of that nature.”

“If they’re going to be a civil rights organization and defend their people,” he said, “they also need to hold their people

“These are a few very small neo-Nazi, Klan and similar groups that have formed to push this narrative into the mainstream.”

accountable.”

Brooks said the NAACP has maintained that Black Lives Matter is not a negation of white lives but “rather an assertion of our shared humanity.”

He pointed to the variety of Black Lives Matter protesters, including members from the Urban

League, the NAACP, the National Action Network, as well as people who don’t belong to any groups.

Brooks said the White Lives Matter demonstrators are misguided in blaming the NAACP for the destruction that has sometimes accompanied Black Lives Matter protests.

“To blame the violent excess of a small fraction of demonstrators in the country is both logically wrongheaded and morally wronghearted,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense.”

Brooks said that although the group is small, it speaks to the sentiments of some angry working-class people.

“Let’s not overestimate their numbers or underestimate their appeal to the thoughts of many Americans,” Brooks said.

RUSSIA STOPS USING AIR BASE FOR SYRIA STRIKES

Russia will stop using a base in Iran for airstrikes targeting militants in Syria for the time being, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Monday.

The move came after Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan criticized Russia and said its announcement last week that it used the Hamadan air base for strikes on the Islamic State group was “kind of show-off and ungentlemanly.”

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi said in Tehran on Monday that the strikes were “temporary, based on a Russian request” and were “carried out with mutual understanding and with Iran’s permission,” according to the Associated Press.

The alligator that killed a Nebraska toddler at Walt Disney World in June may have lost its fear of humans because it lived in close proximity to large numbers of people, a report from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission found.

Though Lane Graves, 2, was standing in ankle-deep water at

the time of the attack, neither the boy nor his family did anything to provoke the alligator, according to the report, issued Monday.

The findings came in the final report on the incident from the state commission The panel said several other visitors to the park alerted Disney employees about the presence of alligators minutes before the attack.

The Republican presidential nominee claimed that the foundation enabled Clinton to set up a "pay for play" operation at the State Department.

Listening to the bagpipes has been compared to torture.

Who knew that playing them could kill you?

British doctors blame the death of a 61-year-old Liverpool man on his bagpipes, whose moist, dark interior apparently provided an ideal breeding ground for fungus.

Authors of the case report are calling the man’s condition “bagpipe lung.”

The man’s demise appears to be the first documented case of death by bagpipe.

“It sounds like a Monty Python skit or an Agatha Christie story gone wrong,” said William Schaffner, a professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville.

The technical name for the man’s lung disease is hypersensitivity pneumonitis, which occurs when the immune system tries to fight off a foreign invader, such as mold or yeast.

The ensuing inflammation ends up scarring the lung, making it harder for patients to breathe, said study co-author Jenny King, a pulmonology resident at University Hospital in South Manchester.

The bagpiper suffered for seven years with symptoms of dry cough, shortness of breath and weakness.

The illness left him able to walk no more than about 65 feet, according to the study, although he had previously been able to walk more than 6 miles, according to the report, published Monday in Thorax.

A variety of things can trigger lung inflammation, including the dust shed by pigeon feathers, a condition known as “pigeon fancier’s lung,” said Jesse Jacob, an associate professor of medicine and infectious disease specialist at Atlanta’s Emory University School of Medicine, who was not involved in the new study.

1. The man blew common fungi into the bagpipe. Our lungs normally get rid of these germs.

2. The dark, warm environment acted like an incubator.

3. When he breathed in again, he sucked up a super-sized dose. This man had an unusual allergic response to fungi, with lung scarring over time.

A bagpiper plays at a funeral in Dallas in July. Doctors warn of “bagpipe lung.”

“If that (mold) had been identified earlier ... he may well have just gotten better.”

Study co-author Jenny King

The bagpiper, whom authors did not identify, had no contact with pigeons.

King had to look elsewhere for the culprit.

She began to suspect the bagpipes after the man told doctors his symptoms cleared up when he went on vacation without them.

King and her colleagues tested the man’s bagpipes and found a wide array of mold and yeast.

Unfortunately, it was too late to save the patient.

“If that had been identified earlier, and he had stopped playing the bagpipes or cleaned them regularly, he may well have just gotten better,” King said.

Three years ago, an English bagpiper named John Shone came close to death from lung disease linked to his bagpipe.

Researchers also have reported respiratory problems in trombone and saxophone players who failed to properly disinfect their instruments.

Ian Clabburn, chairman of the Bagpipe Society in Daventry, England, has heard reports over the years about infections related to bagpipes.

He said he has no plans to give up his beloved instrument: “There’s more risk crossing the road, I reckon.”

@marcodellacava USA TODAY

For Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, investing heavily in self-driving car technology isn’t a futuristic luxury. It’s a business imperative.

“If we don’t get the (autonomous car) software thing nailed, we’re not going to be around much longer,” the captain of the ride-hailing juggernaut tells USA TODAY. In his mind, self-driving cars are a societal inevitability that will reduce deaths, traffic and pollution.

“Will it all take time and storytelling (to reassure consumers)?

Yes,” he says. “But that’s where it ultimately ends up.”

Kalanick, 40, spoke at Uber’s sprawling headquarters here just hours after the company, privately valued at $66 billion, announced two major strategic moves last week aimed at better positioning itself for an autonomous vehicle future.

Uber is rolling out the first of 100 Volvo SUVs equipped with self-driving features in Pittsburgh this month, part of a $300 million partnership. Volvo has targeted 2021 for a self-driving car. And Uber is buying Otto, a 100-person start-up focused on bringing autonomous features to tractor trailers. Kalanick insisted that neither deal — nor Uber’s recent sale of its UberChina operations to rival Didi Chuxing — was designed to make the company more attractive to investors for a possible initial public offering.

“My statements on this have SAN FRANCISCO

been well-documented, but you gotta ask, I get it,” Kalanick says.

“If there was a way to get mass liquidity without going public, (which is) that bureaucracy piece, then I’m super excited about that.

Is there a way? I don’t know. If I could push (an IPO) to 2030, I would.”

Then he jokes, “I’d really prefer not to see my employees refreshing on finance.google.com every five minutes. Do they deserve liquidity for their efforts? Of course. But it’s about the when and the how.”

By keeping a tight rein on Uber, Kalanick so far has managed to navigate past potholes that include battles with taxi unions, compensation lawsuits from drivers and accusations of corporate sexism. Uber dwarfs its nearest competitor, $5.5 billion Lyft.

That said, Uber must stay on the road to profitability in an increasingly dynamic market that in the past few months has seen a flurry of mergers and acquisitions, ranging from General Motors’ $500 million investment in Lyft in January, to Ford Motor Co.’s announcement it would produce a fully autonomous car for ride-sharing purposes by 2021.

Flipping open his laptop, Kalanick pulls up a slide presentation he has just shared with key employees. One slide, “2016,” featured a giant square labeled “atoms,” inside which was a smaller square labeled “bits.” The next slide reversed the two proportions for 2026, implying that in a decade the world would be dominated by artificially intelligent assistants serving their human masters. Uber wants to be a part

MARCO DELLA CAVA, USA TODAY

“Way out, if everything’s autonomous, you’ll need tens of thousands of people to maintain a fleet of a million cars. So the jobs are there.”

Uber CEO Travis Kalanick

of that radical shift, Kalanick said.

“I eat using (delivery service) UberEats, I push a button, the food is made, the driver delivers it to me,” he said. “But when it’s all autonomous, how does the food actually get to my door? There’s a tech stack that can get the car through the physical world to my doorstep, but then what? Does some robot get out of my car and deliver my food? That’s hard. I don’t know if that’s two decades out, but the point is the physical world is getting wired up fast.”

Kalanick’s technology network now includes hundreds of scientists at its research and development facility in Pittsburgh; tech counterparts at Volvo’s headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden; engineers in San Francisco working on laser radar systems; and Otto’s Bay Area teams pushing forward with their trucking project.

Questions about Otto get the CEO animated. Trucking is a $700 billion annual business according to the American Trucking Association, and Kalanick is convinced tech can improve revenues and reduce accident rates.

“That business is driven by owner-operators trying to make a living with their asset, which is a truck that they drive,” he says.

“They’re human, so they have to sleep, mainly in the truck. But what if you can give them a lot more productivity out of their asset, when that thing can drive 24 hours a day, even while they’re sleeping?”

Kalanick also has a message for Uber drivers who might be wondering if they’ll be needed once autonomy takes hold.

“This isn’t an overnight thing; it’ll take a really long time,” he said. “But let’s take a city like San Francisco. Let’s say over a decade or two we go from 30,000 cars on the (Uber) system to a million.

Well, there will still be routes then that software can’t do; it’ll be too hard. So you’ll need drivers in those software-equipped cars to help out.

“And way out, if everything’s autonomous, you’ll need tens of thousands of people to maintain a fleet of a million cars. So the jobs are there.”

Wells Fargo must pay $3.6M fine Valeant replaces CFO for illegal student loan practices as more trouble swirls Charisse Jones @charissejones USA TODAY

Wells Fargo must change its practices and pay a $3.6 million fine for actions that federal consumer protection officials say misled student loan borrowers and resulted in some paying unnecessary fees.

In the order filed Monday leveling the penalty, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said the bank acted illegally, charging on-time payers with late fees, failed to inform borrowers of steps they could take to minimize fees and left credit report errors uncorrected.

“Wells Fargo hit borrowers with illegal fees and deprived others of critical information needed to effectively manage their student loan accounts,” bureau director Richard Cordray said in a statement. “Consumers should be

REED SAXON, AP

able to rely on their servicer to process and credit payments correctly and to provide accurate and timely information.’’

According to the bureau, Wells Fargo left borrowers in the dark about how it divided single payments between their multiple loans and did not make borrowers aware that it was up to them to say how payments were to be allocated, which led to the possibility of unnecessary late fees.

Billing statements did not make it clear that partial payment could be counted toward paying down student debt. The bank illegally

tagged some borrowers with late fees though payments had been made as scheduled, and when it gave wrong information to credit reporting entities, it did not correct them.

But Wells Fargo said in a statement it has already overhauled the problematic processes cited in the order, and while disagreeing with the charges, it will address the bureau’s concerns to put the matter behind it.

According to the order, Wells Fargo must pay at least $410,000 to reimburse borrowers for wrongfully charged late fees. The bank must also correct credit report errors, do a better job explaining how consumers can allocate their payments and use partial payments to pay what is due on as many loans as possible.

The actions taken against Wells Fargo are designed to put a dent in the more than $110 billion in student loans that are in default, the bureau says.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals said Monday it has replaced its chief financial officer as the embattled drugmaker seeks a turnaround amid a firestorm over its past accounting practices, pricing and business deals.

Paul Herendeen, a drug industry veteran who most recently served as CFO of Pfizer spin-off Zoetis, Warner Chilcott and MedPointe, was appointed as CFO of Valeant.

He takes over for Robert Rosiello, who will stay on as executive vice president of corporate development and strategy.

The shakeup marks the latest move by Valeant CEO Joseph Papa, who joined the company in the spring.

“Paul is an accomplished and well-respected financial execu-

tive, and we are delighted to welcome him to Valeant,” Papa said in a statement.

“His prior experience as a public company CFO, strong operational focus and disciplined approach to financial management make him the ideal choice to lead our finance function as we execute on our plans to stabilize and transform the company.”

Last week, Valeant announced that it had negotiated favorable changes to loan terms in a move that gives the company flexibility with its creditors.

But the company was also hit with a lawsuit from T. Rowe Price Group.

The mutual fund giant accused the company of running a “fraudulent scheme” that “destroyed billions of dollars in shareholder value.”

Valeant, which has said it plans to defend itself against the lawsuit, is facing multiple federal investigations.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch

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

@mattkrantz USA TODAY

The stock market isn’t cheap anymore. But make no mistake, stocks can keep going up.

Stocks are near record levels on an absolute basis. The Standard & Poor’s 500 notched its most recent high Aug. 15, its 10th record since July 11, says Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist at S&P Global Market Intelligence.

The bad news is that earnings growth isn’t keeping up. That makes stocks more expensive relative to profit, which is one way many investors look at things.

The market is now trading for more than 25 times unadjusted profit over the past 12 months, which is 6 percentage points above the long-term average of 19.2%, Stovall says.

Here’s how America’s individual investors are performing based on data from SigFig online investment tracking service:

The current market ranks as the second most expensive since World War II based on the forward P-E ratio.

But an expensive stock market can still rise. In fact, P-E ratios weren’t exactly predictive, Stovall says. Seven of the past 12 bull markets since 1945 hit their peaks and petered out before their forward P-E ratios even hit the average. Two bull markets fell even earlier, when the forward P-E hit 10 times.

There are still attractive areas of the market, specifically sub-industries with below-market forward P-Es, bullish analysts ratings and strong stock price performances relative to the market the past 12 months. Broadcasting stocks, for instance, are trading for just 12.1 times their expected forward earnings, which makes them the cheapest stocks to qualify, Stovall says.

Apple (AAPL) was the most-sold stock among all SigFig investors in late July.

Circle K operator acquires CST Brands for $4.4B Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

The global gas station operator that controls Circle K outlets reached a deal to acquire San Antonio-based gas station and convenience store chain CST Brands for about $4.4 billion.

Laval, Quebec-based Alimentation Couche-Tard said Monday that it would pay $48.53 per share for CST, which operates more than 2,000 stores in North America, sells various food and drink

products, such as Icee frozen treats, and distributes transportation fuel.

The deal price, which includes the assumption of debt, marks a 42% premium above the price at which CST shares were trading before the company announced March 3 that it was considering a sale.

CST shares fell 5 cents Monday to close at $47.45. CST spun off of Valero Energy in 2013.

Couche-Tard said it expects the acquisition to close in early 2017.

As part of the deal, the company also agreed to sell some Canadian

CST BRANDS

fuel distribution assets held by CST. CST’s retail brands include Corner Stores, Nice N Easy Grocery Shoppes and Flash Foods.

For Couche-Tard, expansion

was paramount.

“I have always thought that in our industry, ‘size matters,’ whether that be for purchasing, logistics, best practices or for becoming famous for our product categories,” Couche-Tard Chairman Alain Bouchard said in a statement.

“The addition of CST’s exceptional people and its strategic assets takes us one step further toward all these goals.”

Couche-Tard’s approximately 12,000 stores worldwide include nearly 7,900 in North America operating under the Couche-

Tard, Circle K and Ingo brands. It has about 80,000 employees at its stores, fuel businesses and administrative offices in North America.

The company said it would establish a Circle K business unit in San Antonio after closing the deal.

“With Couche-Tard, we will build upon an extensive and attractive convenience and fuel network with enhanced scale and global reach to best position the combined company for future growth,” CST CEO Kim Lubel said in a statement.

Let’s be clear: This summer was a bummer as far as most tentpole movies were concerned.

But never fear — there were a few cinematic bright spots. USA TODAY’s Andrea Mandell, Bryan Alexander, Brian Truitt and Patrick Ryan anoint the good, the bad and the (very) ugly of the box office offerings these past few sweltering months. (Plus, a few shout-outs to films we still think you should see.)

KING OF SUMMER: CAPTAIN AMERICA

Sure, he may have been surpassed at the domestic box office by a fish.

But Chris Evans’ star-spangled Avenger made a huge splash with latest movie Captain America: Civil War (No. 1 for the year to date worldwide), took on his buddy Iron Man (and kind of won) and introduced new friends Spider-Man and Black Panther.

Oh, yeah, he finally kissed a girl, too.

Way to go, Cap!

20TH CENTURY FOX

Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) had some rooting against X-Men. MOST DISMAL: ALL THE SEQUELS

We love you, Hollywood, but this summer of sequels needed rebooting almost immediately.

Mutant heroes and talking animals faced the end of the world in mediocre fashion in X-Men: Apocalypse and Ice Age: Collision Course — is it bad we rooted against them? That’s not all: Alice Through the Looking Glass was a disastrous trip, Jason Bourne and Star Trek Beyond managed to be only so-so next chapters in huge franchises, and perhaps the aliens should have won 20 years ago so we could have been spared Independence Day: Resurgence.

PIXAR

BEST UPPERCLASSMAN: ELLEN DEGENERES

How did Pixar’s Finding Dory swim gracefully through a summer stocked with reviled sequels? Give credit to DeGeneres, who reprised her beloved regal blue tang Dory from 2003’s Finding Nemo, and a story that made the return not only plausible but somehow profoundly necessary.

The Saturday Night Live standout was at her nerdy best in the new Ghostbusters as Jillian Holtzmann, GIF-ready HOPPER STONE driver of the Ecto-1 and the team’s goggled, wild-haired spark plug.

New bio ‘Trump Revealed’ paints a troubling portrait For Donald Trump, real estate magnate, casino mogul and reality TV star, it’s clear there’s no such thing as bad publicity.

Even so, it’s hard to imagine he will embrace Trump Revealed: An American Journey of Ambition, Ego, Money, and Power (Scribner, 347 pp., eeeg out of four), The Washington Post’s dive into the Republican presidential nominee’s life and business record.

Any voter who is not already devoted to Trump’s cause will find plenty of reason to think long and hard about whether to support him after reading this book. It’s crammed with court records, financial data, anecdotes and interviews about Trump’s unscrupulous business practices, his liberal use of “truthful hyperbole” and false promises to make himself rich, usually at the expense of others.

Many of the revelations here are not new. Some of the nation’s best investigative reporters have mucked through Trump’s business record to write about his thousands of lawsuits, his string BOOK REVIEW RAY LOCKER

Rick Springfield is 67. Jay Mohr is 46. Kobe Bryant is 38.

GEM YOU MISSED (SHAKES FIST): POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING

The ads for Florence Foster Jenkins were underwhelming at best. And Oscar bait released in August? Few movies (unless they’re called The Help) manage that feat. But once we saw Streep playing a wealthy, tone-deaf socialite who insists on singing wretchedly for the masses, we fell hard. There’s no resisting you, Meryl.

of unpaid bills and multiple business bankruptcies.

But Trump Revealed delivers enough devastating details to disqualify virtually any other candidate. Talented writers Michael Kranish and Marc Fisher have taken the work of dozens of Post journalists and woven it into a compelling narrative.

Trump, as we’ve seen, is no ordinary candidate. Kranish and Fisher show he’s also no ordinary businessman.

Trump always cut corners and shaded the truth, they write, but

COURTESY OF THE AUTHOR

Michael Kranish

he also had legitimate accomplishments. When people and investors were fleeing New York in the 1970s, he built a hotel in a decaying neighborhood near Grand Central Station. He built Trump Tower in the 1980s and revitalized Central Park’s Wollman ice rink when others wasted time and money.

When the city’s reputation rose, so did Trump’s, and he and the media played ball in a resurgent New York.

Those accomplishments paled, the authors write, beside the series of catastrophic business decisions and bankruptcies that followed — the Trump shuttle airline, the casinos, Trump University and building projects that bear his name but not his attention. “... As happened with some of his U.S. deals, when Trump projects overseas went bust, he

still got paid, reaping millions even if his local partners ran into financial problems and went bankrupt,” Kranish and Fisher write.

All of this confirms circus magnate P.T. Barnum’s claim about a sucker being born every minute.

Trump seemed to find all of them.

The Post team is not alone in delving into Trump’s story. Longtime investigative reporting icon David Cay Johnston peels apart Trump’s business record in The Making of Donald Trump (Melville House, 210 pp., eeeE).

Johnston devastatingly covers ground he broke open as a reporter on the Trump beat in Philadelphia and at The New York Times.

At times, Johnston’s book seems like a clip job of earlier stories, but they were his stories that showed the depth of Trump’s avarice. In both books, the best of investigative reporting is brought to bear on a man who could potentially lead the free world. They paint a sobering portrait that merits inspection. Voters can’t say they weren’t warned.

SUICIDE Events to focus on preventing and coping with an all-too-common tragedy in our community

hen a person commits suicide, his or her death will create a ripple effect throughout that person’s circle of friends and family members. Each suicide, according to estimates from the World Health

Organization, intimately affects at least six people.

Left behind is a trail of grief, guilt and unanswered questions. And in the wake of losing a loved one to suicide, sometimes the best way to work through those complicated emotions is simply by talking, says Marcia Epstein, a licensed master social worker

with more than 30 years of experience in suicide prevention and suicide bereavement support.

FIVE-YEAR-OLD RAY with his fishbowl full of freshwater clams.

“One of those could beat me,” says my 5-year-old son, Ray. I’ve just read an item from the morning paper about the Greenland shark, recently declared to be the oldest living vertebrate species on Earth.

Between bites of his breakfast, Ray peers into a fishbowl full of freshwater clams he is training up for the Most Unusual Pet contest at the Vinland Fair. He’s been calculating his odds all week, worried that if someone shows up with a monkey, he will lose.

The paper says Greenland sharks can reach the age of 270, and probably older, a testament to life in the slow lane, since they dawdle along at a half mile per

I find them almost as comforting as Ray’s peculiar pets, which are, in evolutionary terms, 500 million years older than anything else living in our house.

“Don’t worry, Greenland sharks hate fairs,” I tell Ray. “Too much cotton candy, not enough dead reindeer.”

I suspect my recent affection for

all things old can be traced to the fact that Ray starts kindergarten next week. Not that the change is unwelcome. It’s been a long summer.

8 foods that can help repair a day of unhealthy eating

By Prevention magazine Tribune News Service

You skipped breakfast, had a crazy morning and then felt faint from low blood sugar. Uh-oh. Here comes the binge, as you grab and scarf down any available junk food.

A day like this will leave you bloated, sluggish, and probably full of regret, especially if you indulged in fructose — a cheap, readily available sweetener linked to a cascade of health problems. Fortunately, science has your back. New research from UCLA found that foods rich in docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, may reverse some of the damage fructose triggers. Here are eight foods to turn to after a day of doughnuts has done you in.

1. Wild-caught salmon When you need to load up on DHA, few foods match the potent punch provided by wildcaught salmon. Oily fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel provide anywhere from 10 to 100 times the DHA of vegetarian sources like nuts, spinach and whole grains. That’s nice to know, since DHA protects the brain from inflammatory damage, improves learning and memory, and heals brain tissue injured by fructose. Salmon’s also a great source of selenium and vitamin D. 2. Chia and flaxseed Vegetarians need not despair. When you’re

time or another at some point in our lives,” says Epstein, who also hosts her own one-hour radio show, “Talk With ME” at the online station LawrenceHits. “Because it’s something that affects so many people, we know that one way of helping, both with suicide prevention and support for people who are affected by suicide bereavement, is by getting people more comfortable talking and learning from each other.”

Epstein plans to create a dialogue on that very subject — one she still sees, despite some heightened awareness in recent years, as very much taboo in our society — Monday evening at the Lawrence Public Library auditorium, 707 Vermont St. Slated for 6:45 to 8:15 p.m., the second annual event is called “Connections For #LifeWorthLiving,” and it precedes several local, similar-minded programs throughout September and the fall in coordination with National Suicide Prevention Week, Sept. 5-11.

During the event, which is free and open to the public, Epstein and her guests will share tips on caring communication, information about understanding and healing after losing a loved one to suicide (or, conversely, how to recognize and work through suicidal thoughts and attempts), and resources for those looking to connect with others through support groups.

Epstein recognizes that openly discussing mental illness and the factors that lead to a person taking his or her own life can be difficult on many levels for those who have lost a loved

one to suicide. There’s the guilt of not being able to prevent the death, of course, and the anger or resentment at the individual who felt life was no longer worth living.

Oftentimes, survivors live in fear of judgment, which could include negative perceptions of the family member who committed suicide or of the loved ones left behind — i.e., “If you’re such a great parent, your kid wouldn’t have died,” Epstein explains.

“That doesn’t really happen if you had somebody in your life who died from, say, cancer,” she says. “…At this point, suicide still has this misinformation connected to it.”

That’s Epstein why it’s important to start talking openly and honestly about suicide, Epstein says. Professional experience aside, it’s an issue she’s dealt with personally. In 2003, Epstein lost her own mother, who had struggled with depression for years, to suicide.

“I didn’t know how bad it was until I got to college,” Epstein now recalls.

People grieve in different ways, she says, and it’s important to respect that. But “pulling away” from the outside world, whether you’ve just lost a loved one to suicide or are considering taking your own life, is never the solution.

Don’t assume nobody understands you, Epstein says, because chances are, somebody out there does.

At Epstein’s “Connections” event, “everybody gets to teach and learn, help and get help.”

“There’s power in

Seniors could become great companions Dear Annie

Annie Lane

dearannie@creators.com

was a block away. We hugged, and she said, ‘’Don’t be a stranger.

Maybe we could go out to dinner.’’ So I waited six months or so and asked her out to dinner. She accepted, and since 2014 we have been going out twice a month and spending Christmas, New Year’s Eve and both our birthdays together. I always pay, except on my birthday; then she insists on buying.

Sometimes ‘never’ is just better Call me a crab, but sometimes the most “lighthearted” shows depress me the most.

How sad, predictable and annoying is “Better Late Than Never” (9 p.m., NBC, TV-PG)?

Let me count the ways.

For starters, it’s not based on an original idea, but a remake of a South Korean series. It “stars” William Shatner, Henry Winkler, George Foreman and Terry Bradshaw as themselves, or rather the exaggerated, loud, cartoon reality TV versions of themselves, behaving boorishly as they make their way through an extended trip through Asia and checking off items from their personal bucket list.

This series extends a rather alarming network trend. No experience is worth watching that isn’t mediated through the lens of celebrity. Participants on “The Amazing Race” can sometimes act like ugly Americans abroad, but at least they are relative unknowns and not William Shatner “performing” the well-worn routine he’s been reduced to reprising over the past 50 years.

Time was, he’d appear on a talk show for five minutes.

Now we have to pretend to believe he’s on vacation with famous “friends” equally trapped in their respective, phony personae. It’s my idea of hell.

NBC is hardly alone in this celebrity trend. ABC used to air the genial summer time-waster “Wipeout,” featuring relatively normal people splashing about.

Now, the network heads have convinced themselves that we can only be entertained by bold-faced names having fun for us on “Celebrity Family Feud”, “The $100,00 Pyramid” and “Match Game”.

It strikes me as odd that NBC should follow up the Olympics, a showcase for young talents at their best, with “Better Late Than Never”, a platform for over-familiar and “seasoned” celebrities at their most banal.

O Still in full rant mode, let us consider “The View: 20 Years in the Making” (9 p.m., ABC), the brainchild of Barbara Walters and a perfect example of the 20-car pile-up of “news” programming and entertainment value that has reduced the idea of television “journalism” to a sad joke.

Tonight’s other highlights

O Twelve acts perform on

“America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG).

O A scramble to save Jackson on “Zoo” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

O There’s something ominous in the water on “Dead of Summer” (8 p.m., Freeform).

O Because rich celebrities can never have enough, the new series “Playhouse Masters” (9 p.m., TLC) documents the construction of a pony stable playhouse for NBA star Stephen Curry and his family.

I haven’t been in a rush, but lately I find myself attracted more and more. When our evenings are over and I take her home, we exchange a handshake or a peck on the cheek, and I respect her too much to push more of an advance than that.

She is 60, and I am 65. She works full time, and I’m semi-retired.

I haven’t dated since I was very young.

Do I stay the course?

Dear Annie: My wife and I divorced in 2007 after 33 years of marriage; after the kids moved out, she realized she didn’t love me anymore. I’m writing because I have a crush on a woman with whom I’ve been friends for 40 years.

Her late husband was a very good friend of mine. My now-exwife and I used to socialize with them as couples. He and I hunted and fished and talked about everything in that special way you can when you’re on a boat, no one else listening. Our wives did their own things together.

They were married for 25 years, until he passed away in 2013.

At his funeral, we said our goodbyes, and she insisted on walking me to my vehicle, which

ABOVE: KANSAS PLAYERS, COACHES AND STAFF position themselves around the field for stretches during practice on Friday at Memorial Stadium. TOP: JEFF LOVE, KU’S DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL TECHNOLOGY, uses an iPad to get a live view from a drone, right, which he controls during practice on Monday, Aug. 15.

Drones offer players, coaches valuable new angles to study

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

The first time Brandon Stewart heard the faint buzzing emanating from the airspace above the Kansas football practice field, he assumed the worst.

A senior cornerback, Stewart knew the team had expanded its video equipment to include a drone. It just took a few preseason practices

for the Jayhawks to get used to the newest addition to the program.

“Yeah, you think it’s a swarm of bees when it’s behind you,” Stewart said. “You always want to watch out when it’s like 20 feet above you.”

Such fleeting concerns never would go through a KU player’s mind had head coach David Beaty not hired Jeff Love as director of football technology this summer.

When Love, a former KU video co-

ordinator from 2008-10, was offered a job to bring him back to Lawrence, his new boss asked if he had anything “new and cool” to implement.

Love asked Beaty whether the team flew any drones, and the coach told him no.

“Well, we’re going to now,” Love replied.

The Jayhawks’ very own drone pilot, Love left his former video position at Kansas after Turner Gill’s

7 areas of concern for Jayhawks Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

In less than two weeks, the Kansas football team will have a winning record for the first time since before the Jayhawks took a 41-3 beating at the hands of fellow basketball powerhouse Duke in Durham, N.C., on Sept. 13, 2014.

Rhode Island, which plays out of the Football Champi-

onship Subdivision formerly known as Div. I-AA, went 1-10 last season, its 10 losses coming by an average margin of 20.4 points. The Albany Great Danes (but not quite as great as football players) blasted the Rams by four touchdowns, so the Jayhawks shouldn’t have any trouble doing the same.

After that sparring session is out of the way, finding another victory on the schedule presents a challenge.

Seven concerns linger about this team’s ability to win another game this season:

Less than 24 hours after the close of the Rio Olympics, Ryan Lochte took a major financial hit Monday for a drunken incident he initially tried to pass off as an armed robbery.

In quick succession, four sponsors announced they were dumping the swimmer, who has since apologized and conceded that he embellished what happened during a now-infamous stop at a Rio gas station.

Swimsuit company Speedo USA, clothing giant Ralph Lauren and skin-care firm Syneron-Candela issued statements less than three hours apart, all with the same message: Lochte is out. Before the day was done, Japanese mattress maker airweave followed suit, essentially wiping out Lochte’s income away from the pool.

In addition, Speedo USA said $50,000 that would’ve gone to the 12-time Olympic medalist was being donated to Save The Children to benefit needy youngsters in Brazil.

“While we have enjoyed a winning relationship with Ryan for over a decade and he has been an important member of the Speedo team, we cannot condone behavior that is counter to the values this brand has long stood for,” the prominent swimsuit company said. “We appreciate his many achievements and hope he moves forward and learns from this experience.”

Ralph Lauren, which provided the Polo-branded attire worn by the U.S. team at the opening and closing ceremonies, said it would not be renewing the contract that provided Lochte with financial support leading up to Rio. The statement from airweave said it had a similar arrangement with the swimmer. Both stressed they would continue their support of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams.

Syneron-Candela offers a line of skin-treatment products that deal with issues such as wrinkle reduction.

“We hold our employees to high standards, and we expect the same of our business partners,” the company said.

Lochte issued a statement through his public relations firm thanking Speedo USA for its long support. He did not immediately address the other companies dropping their endorsements.

“I respect Speedo’s decision and am grateful for the opportunities that our partnership has afforded me over the years,” Lochte said.

Initially, Lochte said he and three teammates — Jack Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen — were robbed after their taxi was pulled over by armed men posing as police just hours after the swimming competition ended in Rio de Janeiro.

That version quickly unraveled when police said the swimmers, who had attended a late-night party, never reported the incident to authorities and there was scant evidence of a robbery. Video surveillance emerged showing the athletes getting into a confrontation with armed security guards over alleged vandalism at the gas station when their taxi pulled over to let them use the restroom.

While there have been conflicting versions over whether the guards pulled their weapons on the swimmers, Lochte has since acknowledged he was highly intoxicated and that his behavior led to the confrontation, which resulted in the swimmers paying some $50 in U.S. and Brazilian currency before they were allowed to leave. The incident caused a furor in Rio, where street crime was a major issue heading into the games.

Bad economy may spoil plans for Olympic Park Rio de Janeiro (ap) — The celebrations are done and the torch extinguished, but now that the Olympics are gone, Rio is left with questions about what will become of the city’s plan to convert the Olympic Park into a bustling recreational district with luxury apartments and offices.

Amid a continuing national recession, the consortium behind the park has sold less than 7 percent of the Olympic Village’s 3,604 apartments, and real estate experts worry a similar fate is ahead for the main Olympic site where the city is hoping private companies build housing and offices in close to half of the park’s land.

“Right now we are in the bottom of a well. Nobody is making offers on apartments, and there are many apartments sitting empty,” said Claudio Tavares de Alencar, president of the Latin American Real Estate Society.

When Rio de Janeiro was picked as the Olympic host city seven years ago, the country was a darling of the emerging markets. Rich oil fields had been discovered and, in 2010, the nation’s economy grew by 7.5 percent. Bidding wars for apartments were common then, and in 2005 some 1,500 apartments built for the Pan American Games sold out just hours after they went on the market.

The financial landscape is far different now. Brazil’s economy contracted 3.8 percent last year and is expected to keep shrinking, affected by a slowing demand for iron ore and other commodities. Across the nation, more than 5 mil-

THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE IN RIO DE JANEIRO is shown in this July 23 photo. lion people have lost their jobs since the end of 2014.

There’s an oversupply of apartments all over Rio, obvious by the sight of partially built towers. After years of rising, prices per square meter have dropped 6 percent in the last year and a half to 10,241 reals, or about $3,200, according to real estate index FipeZap. With financial institutions charging prohibitively high rates for lending, real estate agencies have begun offering incentives such as honeymoon trips or private school tuition.

Rio 2016 organizers and city officials have not talked about how the weak market could affect the potential for development of the 12.7-millionsquare-foot Olympic Park and its environs. But Leonardo Schneider, vice president of Rio’s housing union, said resi-

dential and commercial space are key pieces of the puzzle and that too many buildings around the park are unfinished or vacant.

“The problem is how we fill up those apartments,” said Schneider.

Carlos Carvalho, the billionaire who developed the Olympic Park and village, has infuriated many in a country that desperately needs subsidized housing for saying the athletes village caters to the city’s elite.

It is called “Ilha Pura” — Pure Island — and apartments average 1.4 million reals ($435,000), offering amenities such as pools, a spa and a beauty salon.

Penthouses of 1,700 square feet go for up to 2.3 million reals ($700,000). Another wealthy developer is building luxury marble and glass high-rise apartments.

Team format may be right for golf Rio de Janeiro (ap) — For all the praise of golf’s return to the Olympics, there was no shortage of suggestions to make it better.

The easy fix is to introduce a team format.

All golf leaders had to do for the Rio Games was to combine the scores of the top two players from each country to provide a team medal. There would have been 24 teams for the men and women. For the men, Sweden would have won by one shot over the Americans, and Justin Rose’s birdie putt to win the gold medal also would have given Britain the bronze medal by one shot over Spain.

How’s that for an additional layer of drama?

If only it were that simple.

“We didn’t have time,” said Ty Votaw, vice president of the International Golf Federation.

Votaw said the International Olympic Committee doesn’t allow for two competitions in one. A team format would have had to be a separate competition. Try squeezing that into two weeks, on an 18-hole golf course that was brand new for competition without knowing how much stress it could take.

“The IOC rejected it,” Votaw said.

The other option was to have a team format in place of the individual competition. Sure,

that might have enticed some of the countries that skipped out (the Australians and South Africans come to mind), but it would have reduced the number of flags raised along the 18th fairway at Olympic Golf Course.

“We thought having the most countries was better than team competition,” he said. “And then someone like Jhonattan Vegas (Venezuela) would not have had a partner.”

Lydia Ko would have been left out, too.

As it was, six medals went to six nations over two weeks. So it wasn’t all that bad. One element that won’t change is 72 holes of stroke play.

TODAY IN SPORTS 1936 — In his first major-league start, 17-year-old Bob Feller strikes out 15 Browns as the Cleveland Indians beat St. Louis 4-1. Feller gives up six hits and allowed four walks.

1952 — During a game against the Cardinals at the Polo Grounds, the Giants’ Bob Elliott complains and kicks dirt arguing over a called strike. Umpire Augie Donatelli ejects him from the game. Bobby Hoffman finishes the at-bat by being called out on strikes and is also ejected by Donatelli for arguing the call.

2006 — The Kansas City Royals become the second team in major-league history to have a 10-run first inning and not win the game. At Kauffman Stadium, the home team takes a 10-1 lead, but is defeated by the Indians in 10 innings, 15-13. On June 8, 1989, Pittsburgh scored 10 runs in the top half of the first against Philadelphia and lost 15-11.

Drones CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

in the football-crazed Lone Star State, in search of players to bring to the developing FCS program. At the conclusion of the spring recruiting period in 2015, Shealy’s staff congregated for a brainstorming session and drones came up because some prep football programs in Texas were using them to record practices. The HBU coaches agreed to do the same. When Love saw the footage he became a believer.

“The view you get,” he said, “it’s such a valuable teaching tool.”

Now every time Kansas practices a drone hovers in the sky to record special teams, seven-onseven, offense versus defense and other portions of practice, with Love at the controls on the sidelines. The r e m o t e Love for each of KU’s four sleek, white DJI Phantom 4s connects to his iPad, allowing him a live look through a drone’s powerful lens.

Appropriately the airborne gadgets are named Todd, Kerry, Darrell and Chris for four of the top Jayhawks from Love’s first stop at Kansas — Reesing, Meier, Stuckey and Harris Shortly after each practice ends, the in-flight perspective is available to Beaty and his assistants.

Prior to this August, KU’s coaches could only review video captured by the traditional stationary cameras, which offered views from the sideline and end zone. Now the coaches can check out the old-school vantage points or the images from above the field, and flip between them painlessly. Some of KU’s coaches have told Love they watch drone video more than other angles, because it allows

1 - The schedule URI, Iowa State and Texas are the only schools on the 12-game schedule that didn’t participate in a bowl game last season. KU lost to the Cyclones and Longhorns by a combined score of 97-33 in 2015.

Ohio at home and Memphis on the road could play out as close games, but Kansas will enter both as the underdog.

The Iowa State game is in Lawrence, another possibility.

2 - The offensive line The most encouraging news would have been that the same Oline line that formed the first-string unit in the spring exhibition would remain at the top of the depth chart. That would have signified that a handful of blockers had developed to the point they had established themselves as firststringers and remained healthy throughout camp. It also would have given them more time to develop chemistry playing next to one another.

Instead, the depth chart at O-line appears to spin like a revolving door, which leaves the impression that nobody has blown away the competition.

3 - Quarterback Second-year head coach David Beaty still hasn’t named a starter and I seriously doubt that it’s because he wants

“

The view you get, it’s such a valuable teaching tool.”

— Jeff Love, KU director of football technology

the teaching process to become more precise.

“There’s no real angle in football where you’re right on top of them,” Love explained. “So as a receivers coach I can see, ‘Where does the DB’s leverage start. Do I stem him correctly? Am I leaning in or out of the route on time?’ With the high sideline camera, you really can’t see, ‘Is he sticking his foot at the right spot?

Has he attacked the angle with leverage yet?’ This gives them the ability to now see that, where the kid might not even know he’s doing it, ’cause you never have that angle.”

Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said players benefit from the drone footage because it duplicates what they see play out in front of them on the field more realistically than the other vantage points. If anything, Bowen wishes KU could use the drones more on defense, with Love floating one above the heads of the linebackers and safeties. But that only happens in some run-only practice situations.

“Any time the ball’s in the air,” Bowen said of the possibility of a pass, “obviously the drone’s on the offensive side. We can’t be taking shots at it.”

On those rare occasions when the drone can hang out in the secondary, running backs coach Tony Hull likes to examine the video and let his players know what they could be doing better. to keep Rhode Island guessing.

My guess is Beaty wants Willis to show leadership in practice before announcing he has won the job. That can become a little tricky because the best way for a quarterback to gain followers is to remain poised under game-day pressure and keep the chains moving. It’s tough to show that during practice.

Whichever quarterback, Willis or Montell Cozart, projects as better able to put points on the board ought to start the season at QB. If he performs, they’ll follow him.

4 - Beaty taking on OC duties Calling the plays, coaching the quarterbacks and coordinating the offense is a lot to put on the plate of a secondyear head coach. Give Beaty credit for putting his neck on the line by doing it, but was it wise?

Only the scoreboard will have the answer to that one. It won’t take much to improve upon last season’s production. KU averaged 13.2 points in its 11 games vs. FBS competition.

5 - Speed at wide receiver Texas A&M transfer LaQuvionte Gonzalez has the jets to consistently get behind the defense, but overall speed of this sure-handed unit with skilled route-runners is not exceptional.

6 - Cornerback Unlike last season, when true freshman Tyrone Miller made seven starts despite a lack of

LOCAL “You can see running backs’ eyes, what they’re looking at when they’re making a cut,” Hull said. “(Coaches can) make sure they have proper eye discipline and proper ball placement for ball security. It’s helped us out tremendously.”

Every day, KU’s quarterbacks watch the bird’s eye view of the offense, which resembles the point of view offered by Madden on your video game platform of choice (Love said he positions a drone about 20 yards behind the offense, 20 to 25 feet off the ground). According to red-shirt junior Montell Cozart, the drone replays help each player who studies them.

“I feel like it’s been great for us. In the meeting room we have that view of being able to see everything from the top,” Cozart said, “and being able to recognize different coverages and what the corners are giving away in the coverages.”

The more the quarterbacks watch, Cozart said they become increasingly aware of defensive alignments, allowing them to more comfortably get the offense in the correct play to attack its opponents’ weakest spots.

Each coach has his way of utilizing the unique viewpoints — as often or seldom as he sees fit.

Love feels confident the added variety provided by the drones adds value both to the way the Jayhawks examine their progress and prepare for the future.

Stewart and his teammates had no idea just how useful those humming, flying contraptions would be.

“Technology these days is really up and coming,” Stewart said.

“It’s pretty cool, man.”

True as that may be, Love knows there’s only one reason Beaty granted him the freedom to use the drones in the first place.

“The main objective, though,” Love said, “is to help us win football games.” experience and speed better suited for his current position, safety, KU has enough natural cornerbacks, but none of them have yet proven themselves to be Big 12-caliber starters. True freshmen Kyle Mayberry and Michael Lee bring exciting potential, but are they the answer yet?

7 - Experience winning a close game Just five of the Jayhawks’ past 33 games have been decided by seven points or fewer and they have gone 1-4 in them, the lone victory by a 34-28 margin vs. Southeast Missouri State in the 2014 season opener. KU also lost to TCU, 34-30, and Oklahoma State, 2720, that year. Last season, the only close calls came in losses to South Dakota State, 41-38, and TCU, 23-17.

Before I take a stab at guessing KU’s record, keep in mind that I have been incredibly consistent in recent seasons, always too optimistic by one victory: 2-10. The second triumph? Tough to say.

2017 prep PG plans KU visit

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Class of 2017 point guard Tremont Waters, the No. 39 ranked player in the class according to Rivals.com, plans to visit Kansas in September.

Waters’ father, Ed, on Sunday told Jordan Wells of TheHoosier.com that he would visit Indiana, Georgetown and Kansas next month.

The four-star point guard averaged 9.7 points, 5.6 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game at the N B P A Camp in mid-June and led his team to the title while winning MVP Waters honors.

Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Eric Bossi, who covered the event, said the 5-foot-11, 160-pound prospect from Connecticut really stood out with the ball in his hands.

“Waters flourished in a role that is more similar to how he’ll likely be used in college,” Bossi wrote at the time. “His reputation has been that of a scorer, but on the next level it will be about setting up others first and then mixing in his scoring. He’s fearless on drives to the hoop, softens the defense with his jump-shooting

and has made big strides as a communicator.”

In addition to the three schools for which he has set up visits, Waters has offers from a dozen other programs, including UConn, Kentucky and Duke.

Provided he takes the three visits he has set up, he only would be allowed to make an official visit to two other programs.

Go time After holding a team meeting on Monday, Kansas coach Bill Self and his Jayhawks will officially begin preparations for the 2016-17 season today.

Self confirmed to the Journal-World on Monday afternoon that, as he expected, every player on his roster returned from summer break in time for Monday’s meeting and the team was now ready to begin turning it up a notch.

NCAA rules dictate that coaches can work with their players for up to two hours per week prior to the first official practice — 42 days before the regular season opener — and Self said recently that he planned to use that time to set the tone for what’s ahead.

“I don’t think it’s gonna be anything different than what we’ve been doing,” Self said Saturday. “But we’re gonna turn it up.

We’ve actually had a pretty lax summer. We’ve had a good summer, we got a lot done, but they haven’t

been stressed, so it’s time to start stressing ’em.”

Asked if he looked to anything specific as an indicator of what kind of shape his players returned in, Self pointed to the changing times as reason not to worry.

“Nothing,” he said. “I mean, we just saw ’em three weeks ago. Things are so different now.

Even though the first official practice doesn’t start until a certain date (Oct. 1, Late Night), the rules allow you to still practice two hours a week until then so it’s kind of anticlimactic, the first practice.”

That doesn’t figure to come as any kind of surprise to the KU players, many of whom are entering their third, fourth or even fifth seasons under Self.

During a Sunday interview with Fox Sports Kansas City, senior point guard Frank Mason III indicated that he and his teammates were well aware of what was headed their way during the next couple of months, a stretch that will include preseason conditioning, boot camp (Sept. 19-23), Late Night (Oct. 1) and the first official closed practice (Oct. 5).

“Expectations are still the same,” Mason said.

“The faces change, but like our coaches say, the expectations stay the same no matter who’s here at the program.”

Chiefs’ Hali returns to practice Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Chiefs took pass rusher Tamba Hali off the physically unable to perform list Monday, though the team said he will practice on a limited basis.

Hali had surgery in the offseason on his balky knees, which forced him to miss nearly every practice late last season. He played in games but hardly looked 100 percent.

Hali’s removal from the PUP list means he can begin working out with the rest of the team. Still, it is unlikely he will play in the Chiefs’ remaining preseason games.

OLYMPICS

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Tokyo prepares for 2020 Games, facing rising costs Rio de Janeiro (ap) — Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike is preparing for a strenuous workout with the next Summer Olympics headed her way.

The practice started when she received the Olympic flag Sunday in the official handover ceremony from her Rio

counterpart, Mayor Eduardo Paes.

“I hope the flag is not too heavy,” she joked the day before. “Although I have trained my muscles to receive it properly.”

The next three Olympics are in Asian countries that have already held games: Tokyo’s

Summer Games in 2020, sandwiched between Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in 2018 and in Beijing in 2022.

This will come as a relief to the International Olympic Committee after two trying games in Sochi, Russia, and Rio.

That doesn’t mean they’ll be easy, particularly for Tokyo.

“I don’t think that you can ever relax,” said John Coates, the IOC member who heads the inspection team for Tokyo. “There are some big issues, even for Tokyo.”

The new national sta-

dium is an example of Tokyo’s rising costs — or underestimating costs.

The original bill was expected to be $1 billion, but the price soared to three times that much in a design by the late architect Zaha Hadid.

Organizers scrapped that design and adopted a

new one by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. The cost will still be at least 50 percent more than the original estimate with completion set for November 2019.

“I will not leave white elephants for the taxpayers,” Kioke told reporters in Rio.

Dodgers 18, Reds 9 Cincinnati — Adrian Gonzalez hit three of the Dodgers’ seven homers — driving in a careerhigh eight runs — and rookie Corey Seager had a noteworthy homer as well on Monday, leading Los Angeles to a huge victory and a split of its four-game series with Cincinnati.

The NL West leaders enjoyed their biggest home run splurge in 10 years. They’ve won 10 of their last 12 games against Cincinnati.

Gonzalez started it with a three-run shot in the first inning off Homer Bailey (2-2), who had his worst showing since returning from Tommy John surgery. The first baseman also had a solo shot in the fifth, when the Dodgers connected four times overall.

Gonzalez’s three-run shot in the seventh tied his career high for homers. He drove in another run with a groundout as the Dodgers scored 18 runs for the first time in 10 years.

The Dodgers needed the big game offensively.

Left-hander Scott Kazmir lasted a season-low 2 2/3 innings, giving up six hits and four runs. Joey Votto singled home a run off reliever Jesse Chavez (1-0), one of his four RBIs. Seager’s two-run shot game him 22 homers, trying Glenn Wright’s club record for a shortstop from 1930. He tied his career high with four hits and extended his hitting streak to 13 games.

The Dodgers piled up seven homers for the first time since Sept. 18, 2006 against San Diego. The seven homers allowed

by Reds pitchers tied the club record.

Andrew Toles and Rob Segedin hit their first career homers back-to-back in the fifth, becoming the first Dodger duo to accomplish that one.

The last time the Dodgers hit four homers in an inning was Sept. 28, 2006 against San Diego.

Bailey gave up a season-high six runs and nine hits, leaving after 59 pitches. The Dodgers were aggressive, swinging at the first strike.

Chase Utley singled on Bailey’s first pitch of the game, and Seager singled on the second pitch. Gonzalez homered on the first pitch, leaving him 11 for 25 career against the right-hander with six homers. The homer extended his hitting streak to a seasonhigh 15 games.

Bud Norris, who started on Friday and lasted 3 2/3 innings, pitched the eighth to help LA’s depleted bullpen.
