Trouble at 23rd and Mass.

Cutting school funding and then making school districts come hat-in-hand to Topeka to ensure they have enough money to meet the needs of their students is a disgrace.” — Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley

CITY CREWS RESPOND TO A WATER MAIN BREAK at 23rd and Massachusetts streets on Monday. All eastbound lanes into the intersection were blocked off, and traffic was reduced to one lane in each direction in the two westbound lanes of 23rd Street from Vermont to Massachusetts.

Water main break expected to affect intersection for days By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark59

A water main break Monday afternoon at the intersection of 23rd and Massachusetts streets could interrupt traffic for “a couple to a few days,” said Jeanette Klamm, management analyst for the city of Lawrence. All eastbound lanes into the intersection are blocked off, and traffic has been reduced to one lane in each direction in the two westbound lanes of 23rd Street from Ver-

mont to Massachusetts. Klamm said city workers were cutting the upper layer of concrete so that a pavement contractor could examine lower layers this morning and determine whether there has been extensive damage. She said workers won’t know how long it will take to repair the road until that inspection occurs. She said they should have some answers later today. A contractor has put up signs attempting to divert some traffic from the area

and take some pressure off of 23rd Street, Klamm said. She said traffic is being detoured south on Louisiana Street to 31st Street and east to Haskell Avenue. Klamm said the less traffic in the area the better, not necessarily for city crews but because motorists will face delays. “If people follow the directed route, it will probably get them there faster,” she said. Klamm said there were reports earlier of three homes in the area without

water. She said typically crews will try to keep water running to affected locations for as long as possible and only shut it off when they absolutely have to, but she was not sure if they were able to do so in this case because it is a “pretty good sized line.” The water main, a 1954 12-inch cast-iron pipe according to a city news release, broke sometime around 2 p.m. Monday. Pipes typically range between 6 and 8 inches in diameter, Klamm said.

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback and legislative leaders agreed Monday on doling out about $6 million in “extraordinary needs” funding for school districts that have seen unusually high enrollment growth or big decreases in property valuations. That was only about half of the $12.3 million that lawmakers set aside for that purpose this year, and it was about $9 million less than districts had actually requested. “This is the first time we’re trying to figure out what is an extraordinary need,” Brownback said after the meeting. Kansas lawmakers set aside money for extraordinary needs in the same bill this year that abolished the old school finance formula and replaced it for two years with a system of block grants.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission has recommended for approval a proposal for a shopping center south of the South Lawrence Trafficway. “I think that the health of the retail market plays into the welfare and wellbeing of the community,” Chairman Clay Britton said while voting in favor of the proposal at the commission’s Monday night meeting. An out-of-state development group, Collett, based in Charlotte, N.C., has filed plans to build the new shopping center at the southeast corner of the SLT and Iowa Street interchange. The Planning Commission voted 6-2 to recommend approval of the rezoning and planning changes required for the project, which will now head to the City Commission for consideration. The project would have about 250,000 square feet of space for new retailers and restaurants. The proposed tenants aren’t official, but previously the development group has said Academy Sports, Old Navy, Please see SLT, page 2A

He died Aug. 22, 2015. intendent Rick Doll said in an email last week that Lawrence expects only moderate enrollment growth this year, and its assessed valuation is expected to be higher than last year. Under the new block grant system, school districts were supposed to receive roughly the same amount of state aid this year and next year as they received for the 2014-2015 school year. Most, however, including the Lawrence school district, will actually receive less because of changes in the way certain kinds of aid are calculated. Critics of that plan have complained that it makes no provision for enrollment growth or changes in local property valuation. Although districts can make an application for the additional aid, many have said the amount set aside is insufficient. But Republican leaders on the panel said the new process gives them more flexibility to address unique needs in particular districts. “The block grant bill is designed to be a bridge to a new system for financing education in Kansas,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Ron Ryckman Jr., of Olathe. “In addition to appropriating funds to assandra delle ox districts in need, the process has highlighted the Graveside services at 1 pm Wed. at Reno Cemetery, flaws in the old system.” on Hwy. 40 between Lawrence and Tonganoxie.

City Commission to consider giving land to Pinckney School Lawrence city commissioners will consider signing over ownership of 1.38 acres of land to the Lawrence school district to provide additional green space around Pinckney School, 810 W. Sixth St. That land, known as Clinton Park, has been part of Lawrence’s park system since the earliest days of the city. But Pinckney is now undergoing a major renovation and expansion, some of which will reduce the size of the

school’s play area. The plan calls for establishing a “no build” easement that would limit future improvements on the park property to only a fire access lane from Alabama Street and limited parking improvements. City commissioners are scheduled to vote on that proposal when they meet at 5:45 p.m. today at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. — Peter Hancock

Marshalls/HomeGoods, Designer Shoe Warehouse and other smaller retailers want to come to the site. Planning commissioners recommended for approval an amendment to the city’s comprehensive plan that would change the designated land use in the southern development plan from autorelated commercial to regional commercial, as well as the rezoning of 59.80 acres from residential to commercial. In addressing the matter of rezoning the area from residential to commercial, Korb Maxwell, a representative for Collett, argued that a residential area is not what you put at the intersection of two highways; the better choice is a regional commercial designation, he said. “What does the city of Lawrence benefit by continuing to zone a property

“

In addition to appropriating funds to districts in need, the process has highlighted the flaws in the old system.” —House Appropriations Committee Chairman Ron Ryckman Jr., R-Olathe meet the needs of their students is a disgrace,” Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka said. “It is laughable that Republican leaders are patting themselves on the back for approving significantly less funding — or none at all — for districts facing extraordinary circumstances and calling it an improvement on the previous formula.” Shawn Sullivan, Brownback’s budget director, said this year proved to be especially difficult because many districts have seen huge reductions in property values, due mainly to declining oil and gas prices, something that has greatly affected districts in western and central Kansas. For example, the Satanta school district in southwest Kansas, which has the highest property value per pupil in the state, has seen its assessed valuation cut nearly in half in the past year. Other districts, including Garden City, asked for additional money because of large property tax appeals that will force them to repay property taxes from prior years to large industrial and commercial property owners. All told, 22 districts applied for roughly $6.5 million in additional funding based on property value declines, and 18 districts submitted applications totaling $8.2 million based on enrollment growth. After reviewing the applications, Sullivan recommended setting some thresholds for funding. He suggested the Finance Council only fund declining valuation greater than 5 percent and that it only fund enrollment growth greater than 1 percent. Sullivan also recommended not funding reresidential that is never going to be residential?” Maxwell asked. The Planning Commission’s recommendation serves as guidance for the City Commission, which ultimately will make the final decision on whether the project wins the necessary rezoning and planning approvals. The Planning Commission heard arguments for and against the project Monday evening, including about an hour of public comment. Several residents who live near the proposed project spoke in opposition, including Bonnie Johnson. Johnson, who lives in the nearby Indian Hills neighborhood and is a former planning commissioner, expressed concerns that the project would bring noise and the potential for vacant retail space, both of which she said would decrease property values. “I’ve invested almost all I have in my home, and my dream is to maintain my property values and my quiet neighborhood,”

quests based on losses due to property tax appeal lawsuits. He also recommended not funding the Wichita school district’s request for $980,000, which was based on an expected influx of more than 200 refugee students from wartorn countries in Asia and Africa, people who were sponsored to come to the United States by social service organizations in the Wichita area. On the valuation declines, the Finance Council accepted Sullivan’s plan, which translated into just $4 million in funding requests. But for the requests based on enrollment growth, Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, pushed to set the threshold higher, requiring at least 2 percent growth before qualifying for the additional aid. “Most businesses allow for more fluctuation than that,” Wagle said. “Two percent can easily be accommodated in the classroom without additional personnel.” But the council did agree to come back in October to revisit the Wichita school district’s request for refugee education. Wichita Superintendent Jon Allison said those students have special needs for English language education and other services because most of them arrive here with limited or no exposure to Western culture or lifestyles. Brownback said Kansas receives many refugees, primarily in the Wichita and Olathe areas. And while there is limited federal funding available to pay for basic needs such as food, clothing and housing, he said there is no funding to defray the educational costs to states. Johnson said. In considering the effect of the project on nearby neighborhoods, several commissioners noted that the city plan had already designated the southeast corner of the intersection of SLT and U.S. 59 for commercial use, albeit auto-related. “I understand there are folks that are worried about property values and quality of life in the Indian Hills neighborhood, but I do think you’re getting an upgrade from what you would otherwise have had,” Britton said. A significantly larger development project for the site was proposed last year but never won approval, in part because of concerns it would jeopardize the city’s investment in Rock Chalk Park, which includes a commercially zoned area. If approved by the City Commission, the timeline for the project would have construction beginning in the spring of 2016 and completed in summer 2017.

BRIEFLY AG offering free open records training Attorney General Derek Schmidt is offering a free training session on the Kansas Open Records and Open Meetings Act next week. The session is the result of a new law passed by the Kansas Legislature earlier this year that requires the attorney general to step up enforcement of open government law violations, a news release from the attorney general’s office said. In addition, the new law requires the attorney general to provide and coordinate training on open records and meetings laws. The attorney general’s office and the Kansas Sunshine Coalition will also hold several training sessions over this fiscal year that ends June 20, 2016. The training session is Sept. 1, from 1 to 4 p.m., at the Memorial Hall Auditorium, 120 SW 10th Ave., Topeka. Registration is available on the attorney general’s website at www. ag.ks.gov or by calling 785296-2215.

To prepare for his visit to Kansas University, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences dean candidate Walter Hawthorne, among other things, ordered a book about the history of KU. In it, Hawthorne said he found particular inspiration from the vision of former history teacher and KU Chancellor Frank Hawthorne Strong, who even in the early 1900s prioritized securing adequate funding for the university and ensuring it was a place that reached out to the public. After all, as Hawthorne pointed out to a crowd gathered to hear him talk Monday in the Kansas Union, he is a historian. Hawthorne, professor and chair of the Department of History at Michigan State University, was the first of four CLAS dean candidates scheduled to give public presentations in the coming weeks on the subject â&#x20AC;&#x153;21st Century Challenges to Liberal Arts and Sciences (and how KU will address them).â&#x20AC;? Hawthorneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation identified the following five challenges: l The affordability of college, or the public perception of it. l Budget challenges.

Steinman got the idea for the company after he agonized over a lost whitetail deer he shot with his bow and arrow. Steinman had about 30 years of experience in the electronics industry. He was the founder and president of Chanute-based PC Boards, which made circuit boards for Cessna and other clients. The company sold in 2007, and he moved to Douglas County about five years ago. He’s since developed a small team of engineers and financial professionals to build the company and the product to its current state. Game Vector should be an interesting startup to keep an eye on. Douglas County is not really considered the hunting capital of Kansas, and Lecompton is not really considered the tech hub of Douglas County. But as Mr. Whipple can attest, stranger things have happened. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday at LJWorld.com.

has been contacted by party officials and has told them he would accept the job if elected. “Yes, I agreed to do that,” he said. Dennis McKinney, a former state treasurer and House minority leader from Greensburg, has also been mentioned as a possible chairman in the past. But McKinney told the Journal-World Saturday that he supports Kinch for the job. “He’d be a good, steady hand to fill in the time right now, somebody with experience to step in and do it,” McKinney said. Meeker was forced to resign after making statements in the press suggesting that Kansas Democrats need to re-brand the party to make it more appealing to independents and moderate Republicans, stating that there are some Democrats who oppose marriage rights for same-sex couples as well as abortion rights. Kinch, however, said he strongly agrees that forming coalitions with moderate Republicans is the only way for the party to move forward.

“The overwhelming consensus among all Democrats is that it’s essential we build coalitions with moderate Republicans,” he said. “People like (former Rep.) Rochelle Chronister and (former Senate President) Steve Morris. That’s the only way we can make a difference.” He said the party’s top priority should be to elect more Democrats to the Legislature and form coalitions with moderate Republicans to reverse the policies of Gov. Sam Brownback. “Our long-term goal has to be to change the (makeup) of the Legislature. We have to pick up

seats,” he said. “We have to form coalitions with moderate Republicans. We have to change the numbers dramatically.” Kinch served two terms as vice chairman of the party under former Chairwoman Joan Wagnon from 2011 through 2015. He also served as a national committeeman during former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ administration. He also served a total of 12 years as the Sedgwick County Democratic Party chairman during the 1980s through the early 2000s. — Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

Commission search Having good candidates from which to choose is the essential first step to successfully filling the Lawrence City Commission vacancy.

he Lawrence City Commission has set an efficient and open process to guide its selection of a new member, including the appointment of a 12-member advisory board to review all applications and recommend six finalists to the city commissioners. The process is good; now commissioners and community members need to make sure the advisory board and the commission have the best possible candidates from which to choose. One key criteria is experience. Three of the 4 current commissioners were elected for the first time in April. This appointment is an opportunity to add some needed experience to the commission table. Fortunately, Lawrence is home to many well-qualified people who have previously served on the commission or in other local or state government offices. It may go without saying, but commissioners and other community leaders shouldn’t be afraid to urge some of those people to apply. They also shouldn’t be afraid to aim high and contact some of the community’s most respected leaders. They may not want the job — or they may be willing to serve if they are asked and don’t have to conduct an election campaign to take a seat on the commission. There’s no time to waste. Candidates must apply for the opening by 5 p.m. on Sept. 9, and commissioners hope to make their final choice on Oct. 6. The advisory committee announced last week includes an interesting crosssection of local residents. Among its 12 members are three former city commissioners, who can contribute some firsthand knowledge of what the job entails. The selection process also includes opportunities for the public to observe and participate in the deliberations through open meetings and a public forum on Sept. 24. City commissioners have said they want the new appointee to have their unanimous support. That probably means that some compromise will be involved. The best bet is to find someone who is willing to serve and has both strong experience and the community’s respect. Those people are out there; the community just needs to make sure some of them are on the final list from which a new commissioner will be chosen.

Higher ed concerns often overblown By John M. Crisp Tribune News Service

At about the time you’re reading this column, I may be holding the first or second class meeting for the courses that I teach at my college. The fall semester is just beginning, providing an occasion to reflect for a moment on higher education in America. Others are doing the same. This month “The Atlantic” published two articles about higher education. It doesn’t look very good in either. In “The Coddling of the American Mind,” Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt argue that in their efforts to cater to students American colleges and universities are playing a role opposite from their traditional one: Instead of confronting students with unfamiliar — and even uncomfortable — ideas, institutions of higher education are shielding them from anything that might offend. In the same issue Caitlin Flanagan suggests that the desire to protect their students from offense has caused colleges and universities to lose their sense of humor. Comedians love to play the college circuit, but some, such as Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld, have given up on colleges because of their unwillingness to tolerate anything that might be edgy or offensive — no matter how funny.

“

As legislators and taxpayers have systematically withdrawn support from higher education over the last several decades, their message, implicit and sometimes explicit, is to ‘Act more like businesses.’” “Harper’s Magazine” takes a shot at higher ed this month, as well, with “The Neoliberal Arts: How College Sold its Soul to the Market,” by William Deresiewicz. He argues that colleges and universities, rather than serving as sources of “real education,” are thoroughly compromised by the market and now exist only to teach students to make a living, not how to live. These complaints against higher ed are well-founded. In fact, one could add others: a culture of drinking, racist fraternity parties, grade inflation, a watered-down, whimsical curriculum, harassment, date rape, cushy dorms, extravagant student amenities and an average post-graduation debt of $30,000. And we haven’t even mentioned higher education’s obsession with football, a necessity for institutions that seek prominence

and alumni loyalty but a sport that exploits its players and leaves many of them damaged for life. No wonder some Americans shift quickly into full-rant when the subject of higher ed comes up, and certainly higher education deserves some of this criticism. But a lot of it is overstated or unjustified. All educational institutions struggle with the tension between their obligation to confront society’s values and the forces that push them to conform with and reflect those values. As legislators and taxpayers have systematically withdrawn support from higher education over the last several decades, their message, implicit and sometimes explicit, is to “Act more like businesses.” So why is anyone surprised when they do, even if that means catering to “customers” in terms of accommodations, curricula and entertainment and charging according to what the market will bear? Furthermore, many of the complaints against higher ed enumerated earlier simply have no relevance for a significant portion of American colleges and their students. The students that I will be meeting for the first time this week aren’t the privileged, entitled, hyper-sensitive freshmen imagined by critics of higher ed. For the most

part, they’re older — the average age is 27 — and they’ve come to school, or come back to school, with a focused, practical purpose in mind. They won’t be spending weekends binge-drinking at fraternity parties or assaulting their dates after football games. They’re more likely to be working a second job or taking care of their kids. I wouldn’t call them typical college students, but their numbers aren’t insignificant. They’re part of the 45 percent of American undergraduates who attend the nation’s 1,700 community colleges, and they amount to roughly 9 million students. Of course, community colleges have their own problems, but the fact that a significant segment of higher education isn’t implicated in many of the most prominent complaints against it ought to suggest some doubts about the extent to which higher education at large is guilty of the most extravagant charges against it. Just as with the NFL, the misdeeds of the superstars in higher education may unfairly indict many colleges, professors and students who are just trying to get the job done. — John M.

Carter at peace with life, death When Ronald Reagan announced in November 1994 he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, even some of his most ardent political opponents paused to wish him well. It was the same last Thursday when former President Jimmy Carter, who will soon be 91, held a news conference in Atlanta to announce that a cancer first discovered in his liver has spread to other parts of his body, including his brain. While death is the ultimate end of all on Earth, the knowledge that one’s expiration date is getting close has a way of focusing the mind, and not just for the person who has received the news. Reporters at the news conference were unusually deferential to Carter, which has not always been their attitude since he left office in 1981. What struck me was not only Carter’s humility and gratitude for the opportunities and privileges he has enjoyed, but the inner peace he exuded. Evangelical Christians like Carter understand this from a Bible verse that says “And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7) One can disagree with how Carter applied his faith, whether as a liberal on social issues like abortion and gay rights, or internationally where he frequently has cit-

ed Israel — not her enemies — as the main impediment to Middle East peace, but Carter probably has a better knowledge of the Bible’s contents than any president since Abraham Lincoln. I attended Carter’s Sunday school class at First Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., where he sometimes delivered the lesson. When at Camp David, he held services attended by family members, staff and invited guests. His example was cited by some in the Christian community as having a positive influence on people not well acquainted with the inside of a church building. Reporters who accompanied Carter to church rarely reported on what he said. Mostly it was, “The president went to church today, and in other news…” They seemed uninterested, even though Carter’s press secretary, Jody Powell, cited in Wesley Pippert’s book “An Ethics of News,” observed, “…the American people, as a whole, are probably better equipped to understand that aspect of Jimmy Carter’s life than are

the people who are trying to explain it to them.” Pippert, who was a UPI White House correspondent during the Carter administration, wrote a book called “The Spiritual Journey of Jimmy Carter, in His Own Words.” While teaching the Sunday school class on Jan. 29, 1978, Pippert quoted Carter as saying: “You can’t say, ‘Tomorrow, I’m going to have inner peace in my heart…’ It slips away from us. It’s not something guaranteed to each of us. If we subjugate our lives to God, if we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit, if our life is consistent with the purpose or example of Christ … in our relationship with God, and others, then we will have inner peace…” That statement, more than the optimism of doctors who are treating him, reflects the source of Carter’s contentment, which many in the media still do not understand. Jimmy Carter is prepared. Even his political opponents should celebrate the good he has done, and especially in following the example of Harry Truman, who also did not cash in on the presidency after leaving office. As Carter approaches not the end, but a new beginning, his political detractors, and even his supporters, might consider some self-examination to make sure they, too, are prepared. — Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Content Agency.

To the editor: When reading the Aug. 19 Journal-World, I saw an article that stated that a former state employee is suing the Secretary of State’s office, claiming she was fired because she refused to attend prayer meetings in Secretary Kobach’s office. This is being vigorously denied by the secretary himself. I’m not sure the practice conforms to the idea of separation of church and state. I’m not convinced this practice leads to a healthy work environment. There have been rumors for years that these prayer meetings were compulsory and resented by many who feared for their jobs if they did not attend. I’m assuming by the rhetoric that has trickled out of Topeka that these are Christian prayer meetings. Yet, the actions of the governor’s administration and the Legislature seem to have little to do with the teachings of Jesus. The poor, the disabled, the hungry are hung out in the wind to dry and blow away like flaking parchment while the rich are coddled and showered with favors. Where, exactly, does one find Jesus in this scenario? Jack Ozegovic, Lawrence

ALEC agenda To the editor: The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) owns the national, state and many local chambers of commerce, which transformed the organizations into a rightwing political action committee working against: l the right to vote by initiating voter suppression, l democracy, l public education, l good pay for all blueand white-collar workers, l a powerful. sustainable economy without billions in corporate welfare subsidies, l a cleaner environment, l diplomacy leading to peace, l cleaner energy, l single-payer insurance for all, l justice for all, l diversified news industry, l tax-supported two-year and four-year degrees. Instead of supporting the war economy just think what those trillions of our tax dollars could accomplish if applied to all of the above? Richard Heckler, Lawrence

Two men injured in a two-car accident Sunday evening south of Clinton Lake are in critical condition but stable, according to Jacob Moomau, a trooper with the Kansas Highway Patrol. According to a KHP accident report, both cars were eastbound on North 950 Road near East 850 Road when the driver of a Honda Civic rear-ended a Ford Focus, causing both vehicles to lose control. The Civic overturned multiple times and landed on its roof off to the side of the road. The Fo-

l “Achieving inclusive excellence,” or increasing faculty and student diversity. l Demonstrating the relevance and importance of liberal arts and sciences. l And the “digital revolution.” On affordability, Hawthorne said it’s important to talk not just about cost but value of college. He said there are many ways to help ensure it stays affordable, including financial awareness for students — he said he’s often told students to “live like a student today so they don’t have to live like one in the future” — and steps by administration. Those would include continuous revisiting of the KU CORE class requirements to track how they affect four-year graduation rates, proactive advising with regular progress updates for students, continuing “meaningful” first-year experience efforts and increasing on-

cus came to rest upright in a ditch to the south. The driver of the Focus was Teodulo BernardinoOrtiz, according to the KHP report. Sgt. Don Dunkle of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said Sunday that Bernardino-Ortiz refused medical treatment at the scene. Bernardino-Ortiz, 26, of Lawrence, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, according to the Douglas County booking logs. He was released from the Douglas County jail early Monday on a $250 bond. Carmelo AltamiranoCantu, who was driv-

ing the Civic, according to the KHP report, was taken by Lifestar helicopter Sunday to Kansas University Hospital. Erick Quiroz-Estrada, the passenger in the Civic, was taken by ambulance to Stormont-Vail hospital in Topeka. Both were in critical condition but stable Monday evening, Moomau said. “Based on the observations we made at the scene, both drivers were impaired, but to what extent we do not know,” Moomau said. Dunkle said Sunday that he believed alcohol and speed were both factors in the accident.

line course offerings. At Michigan State, he said, the history department he leads has developed 25 online summer courses in-house, not only bringing in $1 million a year for the department but also enabling students to go home for the summer and earn credits without paying room and board. On budget, Hawthorne reiterated the importance of online classes; suggested maintaining and enhancing areas of strategic importance, including attracting top talent in those areas; and said admitting more international students was a must, another area in which Michigan State — with 14 percent international enrollment — has seen success. “This makes the place quite lively, and since 2008 has been a great revenue generator for us,” he said. Hawthorne said liberal arts and sciences must modernize courses to ensure they give students “21st century skills” and “experiential learning” to use in jobs, but also communicate the importance of such studies on a broader scale. “We in the liberal arts

and sciences enrich lives,” he said. “Clearly jobs are important, but the purpose of a university is much, much more than that.” Hawthorne’s research specialty is upper Guinea, the Atlantic and Brazil, with particular interest in the history of slavery and the slave trade, according to his bio provided by KU. His publications include the books “Planting Rice and Harvesting Slaves: Transformations along the Guinea-Bissau Coast, 1400–1900” in 2003, and “From Africa to Brazil: Culture, Identity, and an Atlantic Slave Trade 1600-1830” in 2010. Prior to Michigan State, Hawthorne taught at Ohio University, the University of Vermont and Mills College in Oakland, Calif. He earned his doctorate in history in 1998 from Stanford University. The new CLAS dean will replace Danny Anderson, who left KU to become president of Trinity University in San Antonio. — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ ljworld.com or 832-7187.

‘Bad news in China ... bad news for Apple’

September to March 2016. In volatile trading Monday, the Dow initially plunged as much as 1,089 points in early trading before almost clawing back to even, only to succumb to a late-day swoon. At its low point, the Dow was in danger of suffering its worst one-day point loss on record — a 777.68 drop on Sept. 29, 2008. The Dow is now down 13.3% from its high and down nearly 11% this year. Surprisingly, of the more than a dozen stock market strategists and money managers who were asked by USA TODAY if the current sell-off will morph into a full-fledged bear market, or 20% or worse drop, all but one said no. “No need to panic,” says Ann Miletti, a senior portfolio manager at Wells Fargo Asset Management. “We haven’t had a 10%-plus correction in a very long time. ... I think this is a reset to get us back to a more neutral position.” Other Wall Street pros say China’s slowdown is unlikely to cause a U.S. recession, which normally is one prerequisite for a bear market. Axel Merk, manager of the Merk Funds, disagrees. Asked if a bear market has started, he responded with a simple, “yes.” The Standard & Poor’s 500 index was down 77.68 points, or 3.9%, to 1893.21 as it dipped into correction territory — which is defined as a drop of 10% or more. The Nasdaq composite index fell 179.79 points, or 3.8%, to 4526.25. The Dow is now down 13.3% from its high. The S&P 500 is off 11.2%, the Nasdaq is 13.3% below its closing peak and the Russell 200 is down 14.2% from its record. The Dow’s midday reversal wasn’t totally shocking, given how far and how fast the bluechip gauge fell minutes after the opening bell, says David Kotokcer at Cumberland Advisors. “The 1,000-point Dow down opening was an extreme,” Kotok said Monday morning. “So a rebound was in the cards.”

North, South Korea reach deal to end tense standoff Provocation to stop, along with propaganda John Bacon USA TODAY

An agreement was announced early Tuesday to end a standoff between North Korea and South Korea that had threatened to escalate into a full-scale military confrontation, South Korean officials said. Kim Kwan Jin, national security adviser to South Korean President Park Geun Hye, said North Korea expressed regret over its

provocations and pledged to stop them. Specifically, Pyongyang said it regrets that two South Korean soldiers were injured in a land mine explosion this month, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported. In return, Seoul agreed to halt anti-North Korean messages broadcast across the border, Kim said. The deal came hours after Park warned that South Korea would continue the broadcasts and take other, undefined measures unless North Korea offered a clear apology and promised not to stage any more provocations. The two Koreas agreed to hold

“I hope the two sides faithfully implement the agreements and build up (mutual) confidence through a dialogue and cooperation and that it serves as a chance to work out new South-North re-

lations,” Kim said in a televised news conference. The North’s Korean Central News Agency released the same details. “The United States welcomes the agreement,” U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby said, and supports President Park’s “tireless efforts” to improve inter-Korean relations. Tensions had been rising on the heavily armed Korean Peninsula since the two countries exchanged artillery fire Thursday. North Korea said it was mobilizing troops and threatened “allout war” if South Korea did not halt the propaganda broadcasts.

VOICES

Carly Fiorina’s record belies rhetoric Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

Carly Fiorina was a decisive, dynamic, charismatic CEO at Hewlett-Packard when she ran the high-tech behemoth from 1999-2005. She also happened to be an abysmal chief executive who badly tarnished the company’s name and bottom line. And yet Fiorina repeatedly invokes her strengths as a business leader as a cornerstone of her candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. “I come from a world outside of politics, where track records and accomplishments count,” she said earlier this year. What happened when she was HP’s CEO tells a far different story. I had a front-row press seat in the early 2000s, covering the corporate soap opera over Fiorina’s bid to merge HP with Compaq Computer Corp. in a $24 billion deal. By the time Fiorina was shown the door, there had been 30,000 layoffs and a brutal shareholder showdown over Compaq that fractured its executive ranks, not to mention left a severely damaged company. HP’s once-sterling image was in tatters. SAN FRANCISCO

Fiorina ran a company all right — into the ground. When her turbulent five-year reign was over, HP was looked upon with remorse — far from the venerated institution whose many admirers once included Steve Jobs. “Her leadership of HP was a total disaster,” says Mike Beer, a professor emeritus at Harvard Business School. “She failed on delivering shareholder value and in setting a long-term, sustainable course for the company. “HP was a highly admired company for decades, and she destroyed its intangible assets and culture within a year,” Beer says. With her steely gaze, laser-like intensity and unbowed self-belief, Fiorina was a compelling interview subject the handful of times we talked. Despite withering criticism and internal corporate strife — a survey of 3,358 HP employees found that 64% “don’t see the benefits” of buying Compaq — she never wavered. At one particularly grim point, when it appeared the end was near for her as CEO, an unrepentant Fiorina told me she wouldn’t have changed a thing. Admirable, even if her decision to stitch Compaq to HP, like some Frankenstein monster, proved to be deeply flawed. There is no disputing Fiorina’s gifts as a bold public speaker with a senatorial air. In inter-

Obama to speak ‘frankly’ on 11-day climate change tour Gregory Korte USA TODAY

President Obama will log more than 14,000 miles on Air Force One over the next 11 days in a tour on climate change that will take him from the desert West to the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Circle. In Las Vegas, New Orleans and in the small Alaska fishing village of Kotzebue, Obama will deliver a three-pronged message: The U.S. needs to increase the use of alternative energy sources, make coastal communities more resilient and urge a global response to climate change. The three major climatethemed events are part of an effort by Obama to speak “frequently and frankly” about the issue over his second term, said Brian Deese, a senior Obama adviser who handles environmental and energy issues for the White House. They come three weeks after the White House launched a plan for cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 32% over 25 years. uIn Las Vegas on Monday night, Obama was likely to tout new executive actions to make alternative energy sources more affordable in a speech to the National Clean Energy Summit. On Monday, the Department of WASHINGTON

Energy announced it would issue $1 billion in loan guarantees for “distributed energy” projects — technologies that allow consumers to generate their own electricity or obtain it from a nearby source. The idea, officials said, was not just to invest in new technologies, but to make it easier for those technologies to get a foothold in the market. For example, the Federal Housing Administration announced a policy Monday that will allow the buyer of an energyefficient home to assume the cost of those improvements through assessments using a federal mortgage. uIn New Orleans on Thursday, Obama will mark the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. And while climate change won’t be the sole focus of the trip, Obama is expected to talk about the need to rebuild from disasters in ways that make communities more resistant to the effects of rising seas, more frequent storms, deeper droughts and increased wildfires. “We’ve all tremendously increased our focus on how we build our modern infrastructure to be more resilient to all kinds of risks, including that of extreme weather,” Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said. uIn a three-day trip to Alaska next week, Obama will crisscross

“I’m going because Alaskans are on the front lines of one of the greatest challenges we face this century: Climate change. It’s our wake-up call. The alarm bells are ringing, and as long as I’m president, America will lead the world to meet this threat before it’s too late.” President Obama

the state, visiting the villages of Seward, Dellingham and Kotzebue to meet with local communities — including Alaska Natives — about the effect that melting glaciers and softening permafrost are having. His visit to Kotzebue, a largely Inupiat native village 33 miles above the Arctic Circle on the edge of the Chukchi Sea, will mark the northernmost trek of any sitting president in the United States. “I’m going because Alaskans are on the front lines of one of the greatest challenges we face this century: Climate change,” Obama said in a video released by the White House. “It’s our wake-up call. The alarm bells are ringing, and as long as I’m president, America will lead the world to meet this

IN BRIEF AIR FORCE TO SEND F-22 RAPTORS TO EUROPE

The Air Force plans to send its most sophisticated warplane, the F-22 Raptor fighter, to Europe as a potential deterrent to Russian aggression, Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said Monday. The F-22 deployment comes in response to requirements from commanders in the region, James and Air Force Gen. Mark Welsh, the chief of staff, told reporters. The Air Force will not say when the jets will arrive in Europe, but their deployment comes days after Defense Secretary Ash Carter acknowledged that Russia posed “an existential threat” to the United States because of its nuclear weapons arsenal. He did not, however, echo comments from other military leaders that Russia was the greatest threat to U.S. security. — Tom Vanden Brook MAN CHARGED, HIT NYC POLICE OFFICER WITH PELLET

A 19-year-old man was charged Monday morning with assault on a police officer after he allegedly fired a pellet that struck a mem-

threat before it’s too late.” He’ll also address the State Department’s Conference on Global Leadership in the Arctic, also known as the Glacier Conference, which is bringing together leaders from Arctic nations to grapple with climate issues. But the Arctic trip also highlights some of the tensions in Obama’s energy policy. Environmental groups have been sharply critical of the Interior Department’s granting of permits to Royal Dutch Shell to drill for oil in the Arctic Ocean, with the final permit coming just last week. But Deese brushed off that criticism Monday, saying Shell was operating under a lease granted under the George W. Bush administration, and the Obama administration had delayed and narrowed the permit, allowing a single well with “unprecedented, high levels of safety standards for Shell or any other company to meet.” Moniz said the Obama administration was also trying to lessen U.S. dependence on foreign oil, which the nation imports at the rate of 7 million barrels a day. Climate change is also likely to be a major topic when Pope Francis visits the White House in September. Corrections & Clarifications

NATION/WORLD Biden run would test Clinton friendship Polls show he could make a dent in her front-runner status Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY

Joe Biden had kind words for Hillary Clinton in 2008, when he was the Democratic vice presidential nominee and she was campaigning for the Biden-Obama ticket around the country. “This is a woman who understands what’s right and what’s wrong, what’s fair and is unfair, and is always, always fighting against the abuse of power by the powerful,” Biden said at a rally in Scranton, Pa. Biden even said at one point that Clinton might have been a better choice as Barack Obama’s WASHINGTON

running mate. The two have a long history together, as political rivals as well as friends. Now Biden must decide whether to test that friendship by challenging the former secretary of State for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. A July 9-12 Monmouth University Poll suggests support for Biden would come largely at Clinton’s expense, because her supporters are ideologically similar to his. Thirteen percent of Democratic voters said they would support Biden over Clinton and the other four Democratic candidates already in the race. When asked only about Biden, an additional 43% of respondents said they would be very likely or somewhat likely to support him over their current choice if he ran. Of that group, 68% gave Clinton as their current choice.

Democrats Hillary Clinton and Vice President Biden have a long history together. Thirteen percent of Democratic voters said they would support Biden over Clinton.

“He’d walk into the polls with at least a quarter of support, with the potential for going up from there,” said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University

Polling Institute. “That would probably knock Clinton down to below 40%.” Biden has said Clinton’s candidacy wouldn’t affect his decision on whether to run, which he said he’d announce by summer’s end. A Quinnipiac University Poll released last week showed Biden running as well as or better than Clinton against top Republicans in general-election matchups in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, all key swing states. Biden is still grieving over the May 30 death of his son, Beau Biden, 46, Delaware’s former attorney general, from brain cancer. Biden’s alliance with Clinton dates to Bill Clinton’s presidency in the late 1990s. “My sense was they were very respectful of each other and liked each other,” said former senator Kent Conrad, D-N.D., who chaired the Senate Budget Com-

mittee when Hillary Clinton was a member. When Clinton was secretary of State, she and Biden regularly discussed policy issues over breakfast at Biden’s official residence. Their friendship was tested previously when they both ran for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Biden, then chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Clinton’s proposal to cap U.S. troop levels in Iraq and set conditions for aid to Iraqi forces would lead to “disaster.” He also said she was mistaken in saying Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf was up for re-election and that his country hasn’t had a history of peaceful successions. “How can you lead immediately if you don’t know those facts?” he asked.

rench President François Hollande awarded France’s highest honor Monday to three Americans and a Briton who tackled a gunman on a train from Amsterdam to Paris. The Pentagon said the two U.S. servicemembers given the French award are being considered for heroic military medals, including a possible Purple Heart. Hollande presented the Legion d’Honneur to U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone, 23; Alek Skarlatos, 22, an Oregon National Guardsman; Anthony Sadler, 23, a Sacramento State University student; and British citizen Chris Norman, 62. Two others will receive the Legion d’Honneur at a later date — a French citizen who also tackled the man in the incident Friday

but wishes to remain anonymous and a French American named by Hollande as Mark Moogalian, 51. Moogalian, who was shot, remains in a hospital. “You risked your lives to defend an idea, an idea of liberty, of

freedom,” Hollande told the men at the ceremony at the Elysee Palace in Paris. “Since Friday, the entire world admires your courage, your sangfroid, your spirit of solidarity,” he said. “This is what allowed you to — with bare hands, your bare hands — to subdue an armed man. This must be an example for all and a source of inspiration.” The three Americans were on the train when a man armed with a Kalashnikov, an automatic Luger pistol and a box cutter raced through the car. The men tackled and subdued the gunman, who was taken into custody in France. Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said Stone is being nominated for the Airman’s Medal — the Air Force’s highest noncombat award. He could be eligible for the Purple Heart if French authorities conclude the attack was a terrorist event. Contributing: Tom Vanden Brook

Air show death toll could rise to 20, police fear Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Police say they fear the death toll in a plane crash at an air show in southern England could rise to 20. At least 11 people are believed to have died after the Hawker Hunter single-seat fighter crashed into traffic on the A27, a major road, at the Shoreham Airshow in the county of Sussex on Saturday. Speaking on Monday, Sussex Police’s Assistant Chief Constable Steve Barry, said: “The number of highly likely dead remains at 11, but may rise. However, we do not expect that figure to be greater than 20, probably fewer.” He said there were cyclists and others in the area at the time of LONDON

Emergency workers in protective overalls walk on a road near the site of the Hawker Hunter fighter jet crash. the crash, the BBC reported. “It makes it very complicated to establish who was where and who we can actually confirm has been a victim of this crash,” Barry said, according to the broadcaster.

The pilot, Andy Hill, 51, remains in a hospital in a critical condition. His family said he is in a medically induced coma with multiple injuries. The U.K.’s Civil Aviation Au-

thority said in a statement Monday that flying displays over land by vintage jet aircraft will be limited to flypasts and that acrobatics will be banned “until further notice.” It also said a temporary restriction on flights by Hawker Hunter aircraft will remain in place, In a statement Monday, the organizers of the Shoreham show — the Royal Air Forces Association — said “our thoughts and condolences are with those who have been killed or injured, their families and friends and all those who have been affected by these tragic events.” Eyewitnesses told the BBC the plane appeared to be performing a loop before it crashed. Paramedic Steve Andrews said he saw “utter devastation” when he arrived at the scene.

A Louisiana state trooper died Monday after authorities say he was shot in the head and then taunted when he stopped to provide aid to a man whose truck was stuck in a ditch. Col. Mike Edmonson, head of the State Police, said Kevin Daigle shot Senior Trooper Steven Vincent, then said, “You’re lucky, you are going to die soon.” Edmonson said Vincent, 43, drove up on Kevin Daigle near Bell City on Sunday afternoon and determined that his pickup’s plates matched the description of a previously reported “reckless vehicle.” Edmonson said a recording from Vincent’s cruiser shows Vincent was talking with Daigle when Daigle opened his door, pulled out a sawed-off shotgun and shot Vincent in the head.

“You could hear him (Daigle) breathing, telling him, ‘You’re lucky. You’re lucky — you’re going to die soon.’ Those are the words that came out of his mouth.” Col. Mike Edmonson, head of the State Police

“I am very saddened to report that Senior Trooper Steven Vincent has passed away this morning from the gunshot wounds he suffered yesterday in conjunction with a traffic investigation,” Edmonton said Monday. “ Our thoughts and prayers are with his surviving wife, Katherine, and his son, Ethan, as well as his entire extended family.” Daigle, whose criminal history includes “numerous DWIs,” will be charged with first-degree murder of a police officer and aggravated battery, Edmonson said. Edmonson introduced a man identified as Robert LeDoux, who drew praise for stopping. Edmonson said LeDoux wrestled the gun from the suspect and, with the help of others, handcuffed Daigle with Vincent’s cuffs. Edmonson said he watched in the video as Daigle walked over to Vincent and asked the trooper if he was alive. “You could hear him (Daigle) breathing, telling him, ‘You’re lucky. You’re lucky — you’re going to die soon.’ Those are the words that came out of his mouth,” Edmonson said. Vincent “embodied what it meant to be a Louisiana state trooper and a first responder,” Edmonson said.

CENTENNIAL , COLO. Victims and family members of those killed and injured in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting are getting their chance to explain how the attack irrevocably altered their lives during sentencing for the killer.

9 stocks that are still overvalued in the S&P Matt Krantz USA TODAY

You might think a 10% smackdown in the markets would put just about every stock on a deep sale. But there are still a few stocks left that hover above what experts think they’re worth. Nine stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 — including utility Consolidated Edison, industrial company Pall and soupmaker Campbell Soup — are still trading above analysts’ 18-month price targets, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. It’s been quite some time since investors spent a moment thinking much about stocks being overvalued, or facing downside. But the market’s sudden meltdown, which kicked off last week and gained intensity Monday, is replacing investors’ greed with fear. The Standard & Poor’s 500 has lost more than 11% of its value since hitting an all-time high on May 21 — putting the market squarely in correction. On Monday alone, the S&P 500 dropped nearly 4%. One of investors’ biggest fears up until now has been missing out on the bull market’s next leg

STOCKS STILL NOT CHEAP

Despite the market correction, these stocks are still currently valued higher than their 18-month target prices. 18-month DownStock target price side AGL Resources $55.67 -9.4% Pall $119.45 -5.4% Sigma-Aldrich $133.33 -4.1% Con Edison $61.71 -2.6% VeriSign $64.57 -2.1% Cincinnati $50.50 -1.5% Financial Campbell Soup $46.33 -1.4% Hospira $89.17 -0.8% Sysco $39.09 -0.4% SOURCE S&P CAPITAL IQ

higher. That’s quickly changed. Stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 are now down an average of 12% from where they were trading on May 21. That puts the focus on the downside. Most of the stocks that analysts think have overshot their fair value are the ones that have held up as the rest of the market has fallen. The stocks analysts warn about as the most overvalued have gained an average of 3.9% since the market’s May 21 high. Most of these stocks are highly defensive, meaning they sell goods or services that tend to be in demand even during economic slowdowns. Take Consolidated Edison, an

electric, gas and steam utility serving mainly New York City. The stock has been a pillar of strength, with its dividend yield of 3.9% and shares up 3.3% since the market topped. The stock Monday faded $2.69, or 4.1%, to $63.37 — but that means it’s still nearly 3% above the $61.71 a share the stock should be worth in 18 months, say analysts polled by S&P Capital IQ. Campbell Soup is another example of a stock that’s held up well in the market meltdown that analysts think could fall. Shares are up 0.2% since the May 21 high — despite falling $1.60, or 3.3%, to $47.01 Monday. The problem is analysts think the stock is worth $46.33 a share, which would be another 1.4% lower still. And Pall, a maker of filtration and purification systems, is up 1.6% as the rest of the market has melted down. Shares dropped 28 cents to $126.27. That means there’s still 5.4% downside to the target. Just because stocks overshoot targets doesn’t mean they have to fall. Analysts will revise their targets to reflect the market’s turbulence. Many of these stocks also pay market-beating dividends, which offers a bit of protection.

What’s bad for China is bad for the U.S. China’s plunging stock market is ricocheting around the globe and dragging down U.S. markets, raising awareness of how the world’s two largest economies are profoundly interconnected despite political consternation over trade competition between the two nations. The Dow briefly plunged more than 1,000 points after the markets opened Monday morning. That comes after China’s Shanghai composite index posted its biggest one-day drop since 2007, falling 8.5% Monday. After the sharp sell-off, investors snapped up cheap stocks, and the Dow spent the rest of the day recovering and sliding, finally finishing the session down 588 points, or 3.6%.

Some wonder if the stock market’s sudden turbulence raises enough doubt about the economy to hold off the Fed even longer and back away from taking up short-term interest rates in the upcoming September meeting. Futures markets indicate investors bet there’s a 24% chance the Fed will boost short-term rates in the September meeting — down from the 45% odds earlier last week, according to tracker Tullett Prebon. “If you continue to see significant (stock market) volatility and weakness leading up the the meeting, it becomes easy to have one more reason for delaying (a rate hike),” says Jay Mueller of Wells Capital Management. But he points out there’s plenty of time before the BLOOMBERG meeting, “and if Fed Chair there’s stability, Janet Yellen the market has been doesn’t have to be hinting at a September a major factor.” rate hike. Investors, too, are showing their faith in a rate hike is sinking a bit. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 2.01% Monday. The Federal Reserve could provide further clues on when it plans to begin raising rates this week at its annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Fed Vice Chair Stanley Fischer is scheduled to speak Saturday about inflation. The meeting “will attract even more attention than normal,” writes Paul Ashworth, chief economist at Capital Economics in a note to clients. In an article in the Financial Times on Sunday, former Treasury secretary Larry Summers said the Fed should not raise rates “in the near future,” arguing that would be a “serious error that would threaten all three of the Fed’s major objectives — price stability, full employment and financial stability.” WORST POINT DROPS IN DOW HISTORY For a short time Monday, the Dow was on track for its biggest point drop ever.

ALEX HOFFORD, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

A man watches a stock board in Hong Kong on Monday as the Hang Seng Index sinks. former CEO, Charles Wilson, was famously misquoted in 1953 as saying that “what’s good for General Motors is good for America.” China’s economic health has a direct impact on corporate profits in the U.S., which is one explanation for why U.S. markets are sagging. Look no further than the auto industry to see how China’s economy is affecting the U.S. GM’s stock fell 10% in early trading, though it bounced back amid the market’s broader recovery and closed down 6% at $27.80.

The company sells more vehicles in China than it sells in the U.S. It’s not just GM’s problem. For U.S. companies, a slowdown in China is already denting sales. Manufacturing giant United Technologies, for example, said last month that sales of its elevators in China have suffered. The company’s Otis division, which sells the elevators, will record an operating profit of $300 million to $350 million less in 2015 than it recorded in 2014.

He said higher rates would further push down inflation, make it more costly for employers to invest and hire and strengthen the dollar, hurting U.S. exports. “At this moment of fragility, raising rates risks tipping some part of financial system into crisis, with unpredictable and dangerous results,” Summers wrote. In the minutes of its July meeting, released last week, Fed policymakers were described as noting that the first rate increase was “approaching,” but they needed to see more evidence that the economy and labor market will nudge inflation higher. The minutes of the July meeting also portray a Fed increasingly concerned about global economic troubles, including in China.

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

A big part of the Dow Jones industrial average’s nearly 10% slide in the past five trading sessions centers around fears that flagging growth in China will drag down growth at home in the U.S., crimping corporate profits. But that dire prediction may or may not come to fruition. And despite all the ugly talk of how a China hard-landing will choke off growth, the extent of the damage has not been quantified yet in a substantive way. The panic selling, however, is real. The release of a fresh batch of U.S. economic data starting Tuesday, including a trio of fresh readings on the housing market and a first look at consumer confidence in August from the Conference

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

Board, could shed light on the current health of the U.S. economy. Later this week, July durable goods data will be released, as will a revision of second-quarter GDP growth and July pending home sales. Friday, Wall Street gets a look at income and spending data for July and the University of Michigan’s final take on August consumer sentiment. Maury Harris, an economist at UBS, expects the data to come in solid. “This week’s figures are likely to highlight domestic economic momentum,” he said in a report, adding that economic growth in the second quarter could be revised up to a 3% annual rate from 2.3%. “Indicators for early third quarter also look positive,” he added. Whether Wall Street will react positively to what is expected to be signs of life in the U.S. economy remains to be seen, however.

Savvy investors know when it’s time to sell

Q: Why is the 10% rule so important? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: If you’re buying individual stocks — and don’t know about the 10% rule — you’re asking for trouble. It’s the one rough adage investors who survive bear markets know about. If you own an individual stock that falls 10% or more from what you paid, you sell. Period. You don’t rationalize the loss and wait for the “good stock” to “come back.” Investors who dabble with individual stocks understand that getting back to even following a loss greater than 10% is a difficult task. Say you paid $50 for a share of a stock that rises to $60. If the stock drops to $45 a share, you should be out. End of story. The percentage gains needed to recover from a big loss quickly balloon. The 10% rule could become even more important if the market continues to drop. Savvy investors know it’s just as important to know when to sell a stock as it is when to buy it. Remember, though, the 10% rule applies only to individual stocks, which are mostly riskier than the market. If you’re a long-term investor with a diversified basket of stock, academic studies show it’s much better to ride out the volatility. There are also more complicated ways to hedge against big losses — such as options. But the 10% rule is a great guide.

Sell-off brings woes to TD Ameritrade, Scottrade investors Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Investors encountered problems accessing their online stock accounts and completing trades through brokerage TD Ameritrade on Monday morning amid a feverish sell-off in the broader markets. TD Ameritrade first confirmed the issue in response to traders on Twitter who complained about the problems. The firm directed traders to a toll-free phone number and a special website ad-

creaking digital infrastructure incapable of handling a massive surge in trading on a day with heavy interest in the equity markets. TD Ameritrade spokeswoman Kim Hillyer told USA TODAY in an email that the firm’s site experienced “industry-wide latency issues” during the morning rush. “The sell-off is causing widespread issues in multiple areas of the market. We saw a significant increase in trading volumes at the open, and volumes remain above average,” she said. “Client trades were and continue to be executed, although there has been some

slowness in some cases, related to these industry-wide issues and the historic nature of the day.” The company wasn’t the only online brokerage to experience troubles during the sell-off. Separately, brokerage Scottrade also experienced problems with its site. The firm acknowledged the problems on Twitter and said it had restored its access after a brief outage. The disruption came amid a rapid sell-off that occurred in pre-market trading and bled into the trading day after the opening bell. The Dow was down more than 1,000 points briefly after the

bell before recovering. It closed down 588 points. It was not immediately clear how pervasive the problem was for TD Ameritrade, which had 6.6 million client accounts with $702 billion in assets as of June 30. But Hillyer said the company’s site was never completely down. Spokeswoman Shea Leordeanu said in a phone interview the Scottrade site “was slow” during the height of the sell-off. “With the active market open, we initially saw some slowness, but quickly returned to normal functionality,” Leordeanu said later in an emailed statement.

The more cohesive approach seems to be paying off.

‘Beauty’ is a whiplash of ideas, styles THE WEEKND eeEE Beauty Behind the Madness POP DOWNLOAD Losers ( feat. Labrinth), The Hills, Dark Times ( feat. Ed Sheeran)

Selling out has rarely sounded so good. In 2010, an unknown artist known as The Weeknd (real name: Abel Tesfaye) slinked onto music blogs and R&B fans’ playlists with his gloomy, carnal love songs. And yet, his brooding sound and private persona stymied him from crossing over into the mainstream. That is, until this past year, with well-placed contributions to the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack, a feature on Ariana Grande’s Love Me Harder and three top-five smashes of his own, including the Jackson-esque Can’t Feel My Face. Which brings us to The

Weeknd’s second album, Beauty Behind the Madness, arriving Friday with the weight of expectations on its shoulders. Is this truly the bedroom-soundtrack Messiah we’ve waited for, or did he lose his touch somewhere on the road to global dominance? The latter, if his polished, but regrettably soulless Beauty is any indication. “Tell ’em this boy wasn’t made for lovin’ / tell ’em this heart doesn’t stay to one,” the album’s stilted, stadium-rock opener Real Life begins, setting the tone for the album’s emotional whiplash.

The best tracks on The Weeknd’s Beauty are its duets.

he’s a sinner and wishing her luck in finding someone new. In The Weeknd’s world, love is messy, but it’s also ridden with clichés, full of tired braggadocios about money, girls and parties. Where Beauty finds salvation is in its starry guest roster. Although the seemingly well-matched Lana Del Rey doesn’t ignite sparks on Prisoner, The Weeknd manuveurs duets with Ed Sheeran (Dark Times) and Labrinth (Losers) with surprising aplomb. Familiar hits Face, The Hills and Often are welcome in the jumble, although they add to the notion that Beauty is less a cohesive album than an incubator for future singles. And maybe there’s nothing wrong with that — after all, he’s earned it. Patrick Ryan

SWIMMING MAY LOOK PHYSICALLY DEMANDING, BUT IT’S ACTUALLY AN EXCELLENT ACTIVITY FOR PEOPLE OF ALL FITNESS LEVELS. With four public pools in Lawrence, it’s easy to find somewhere to get your feet wet.

Swimming offers benefits for all ages, skill levels By Conrad Swanson

he days are growing shorter, but the summer heat lingers on. And a familiar way to keep cool can also help keep you in shape. For Jimmy Gibbs, recreation operations manager at Lawrence’s Parks and Recreation Department, swimming has always been a significant part of life. Whether he’s relaxing in a lake or swimming laps, Gibbs said he’s never far from the water. “The benefits are just absolutely fantastic,” he said. “You work at your own pace and it doesn’t matter if you’re just beginning or if you’re an Olympic swimmer. There’s something in between for

Couch to Pool is the second installment of a series aiming to help beginners ease into new and sometimes intimidating activities. everybody.” Those benefits don’t necessarily have to come through a breast or butterfly stroke in deep water, said Lori Madaus, Lawrence’s aquatics supervisor. Water walking or dog-paddling can also help someone stay in shape. It’s all about moving forward at your own pace, Madaus said. Whether you’re looking for an introductory physical activity or you’re an athlete on the mend,

the water has something for everybody. “Just getting into the water is a good starting place for people of all ages,” she said. “It’s good cardiovascular, it’s good for toning, it’s something that you can do on your own or with a group, and it’s safe on the joints and good for muscular conditioning.” All you need to get started is a swimsuit, a towel and maybe some goggles, Madaus said. Many other pieces of equipment, including kickboards and pull buoys, are available to borrow at pools around town. Day ($3 or $4 depending on your age), month ($24) and even year-long passes ($186) can be bought at any of Lawrence’s four swimming facilities. Please see POOL, page 2C

Cancer can be tough to spot: Learn the signs By Aynsley Anderson Lawrence Memorial Hospital

It would be helpful if our bodies gave us a clear message when we had cancer, but unfortunately they do not, according to the American Cancer Society. Since cancer is actually a group of diseases that can cause a variety of different signs and symptoms in various locations depending on where it began or has spread in the body, it is a little more complicated. That is why paying close attention to anything out of the ordinary

with your body is important, as is having regular health check-ups with your healthcare provider, plus any recommended screenings on time. It is also important to know that more often than not, possible signs of cancer do not turn out to be cancer. But if you do experience any of the signs as noted below, follow up with your healthcare provider as soon as possible. Early detection is key to the best success at treating

or controlling cancers and many other diseases. In addition, know that it is thought that a significant percentage of cancers could be prevented by leading a healthy lifestyle and avoiding personal and environmental toxin exposure.

Event to raise funds to fight all cancers For more than two decades, Lawrence Memorial Hospital has focused its fundraising efforts in October on breast cancer. But because all cancers need to be kicked and all survivors rock, the LMH Endowment Association is planning a new event called Rock the Block — Kick Cancer to raise funds and awareness to fight all

kinds of cancer. The event will be a block party from 6 to 10 p.m. Oct. 2 and is planned as an outdoor concert to take place between Jack Ellena Honda and Briggs Auto along West 29th Terrace.

Timing of Kansas prevention network overhaul questioned By Dave Ranney Kansas Health Institute

For years, the state of Kansas has partnered with a network of regional prevention centers to alert and connect people to mental health programs and those that prevent substance abuse, suicide and problem gambling. But that network appears to be unraveling as state officials work toward implementing

what they call a more holistic, data-driven approach. The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services earlier this summer notified the state’s 10 regional prevention centers that their grants set to expire June 30 would not be renewed. “They’re closed; their staffs have been laid off,” said Dulcinea Rakestraw, vice president of treatment ser-

vices at Preferred Family Healthcare, a drug and alcohol treatment program with offices in Kansas, Missouri and Illinois.

Rakestraw, who also serves as president of the Kansas Association of Addiction Professionals, supports the agency’s goals but has

questions about the process KDADS is using to achieve them. “All of us, I think, are looking forward to a more integrated approach,” she said. “Our reservation, however, is that the contracts ended in June and it’s already August. The old system is out, but there isn’t a new system to take its place. So there’s a piece that’s missing.” Please see NETWORK, page 2C

Wes: For as long as I can remember, when a couple was said to be “sleeping together,” it meant only one thing. However, as with all things teen, words only mean what the surrounding culture defines them to mean. A fine example is the word “sick,” which used to mean you didn’t feel well or that something metaphorically made you feel that way. Now, according to that amazing resource urbandictionary.com, “sick” means “cool.” Cool used to mean that you needed to turn up the heat, until in the early 1960s it came to mean “really great” or “super okay.” Urbandictionary.com notes that the word “‘cool’ never goes out of style, and people will never laugh at you for using it.” Thank the dictionary gods that we can count on at least one word in our lexicon to stay the same. A couple years ago a young person I know began referring to “sleeping” with someone in a manner that didn’t really make sense. She said, “My best friend Ralph and I were sleeping together and he kicked me in the shin.” I noted that I had not been aware that she and Ralph were having sex. “We’re not,” she said with that puzzled look that kids give when they think you’re really hip and cool and then you don’t live up to your full potential in that regard. “But you just said you were sleeping together,” I protested. “No, I didn’t,” she said. “Oh. Wait. I guess I did. I meant we were sleeping together. Like this.” She put her face on her hands, folded together as if praying sideways. She closed her eyes and mimicked a snore. “And then the (expletive) kicked me in the shin.” I now recognize putting a sleepy head on one’s hands as the universal sign for differentiating “just sleeping” with someone platonically from “getting busy” which urbandictionary. com defines as “having sex.” At first this trend had me pretty worried. I can think of no situation more prone to sexual ambiguity and miscommunication than lying in bed with a member of your desired dating profile and “just sleeping.” Please see SLEEPING, page 2C

Can’t swim? No problem, Gibbs said. Classes and lessons are available for virtually every experience level. All swimming programs offered by the Parks and Recreation Department can be found online at lawrenceks.org/ lprd/aquatics/classes. Those who are just getting their feet wet may want to start off slowly with a bit of water walking, Madaus said. Adding weights or increasing distances can vary levels of intensity.

The same goes for swimming laps. Switching up strokes and increasing or decreasing distances or times can all impact a workout. Swimmers can also isolate their legs, if they wish, through the use of a kickboard or other floatation device. “You can progress at your own pace, whether it’s coming in three or four times a week or water walking or maybe taking a water fitness class,” Gibbs said. It is important, however, for beginners to listen to their bodies, said Kurt Mason, an outpatient physical therapy supervisor at Kansas University Medical Center. tion: long-term constipation, diarrhea, a change in stool size, pain when passing urine, blood in the urine or a change in bladder function (such as needing to go more or less often than usual). l White patches inside the mouth or white spots on the tongue: Smoking or other tobacco use can cause pre-cancerous areas. If not treated, these patches or spots can become cancer. l Unusual bleeding or discharge: This can include coughing up blood, blood in the stool (which can look like very dark or black stool), abnormal vaginal bleeding, blood in the urine or a bloody discharge from the nipple. l Lumps: These can be anywhere, but mostly occur in the breasts, testicles, lymph nodes (glands) and the soft tis-

Where to swim “A lot of folks don’t realize when you’re swimming you’re using every muscle in your body and you’re using them differently.” — Jimmy Gibbs, recreation operations manager at Lawrence’s Parks and Recreation Department

While aquatic activities are generally easier on the joints and muscles, injuries can happen, Mason said. “One of the main things to think about is perhaps that it’s a little easy to overdo it in the water,” he said. “People feel good in the water, moving in the water, but like any other program,

you want to build gradually.” Shoulder injuries are possible for swimmers, Mason said, but those can largely be avoided by implementing a warm-up session before exercising. “Sometimes there can also be a neck issue that comes up if you’re lifting your head out of the wa-

sues of the body. Some breast cancers show up as red or thickened skin rather than a lump. l Indigestion or trouble swallowing that doesn’t go away. l Nagging cough or hoarseness that doesn’t go away. The American Cancer Society notes that the above signs and symptoms are common, but they aren’t the only indications of cancer. If you notice any major changes in the way your body works or the way you feel — especially if it lasts for a long time or gets worse — see your doctor.

The Kansas Family Partnership, a Topekabased program best known for coordinating statewide campaigns aimed at preventing teen alcohol and drug use, is among the organizations losing their state grants. For Kansas Family Partnership, that’s a loss of $418,500. “We are regrouping,” said Michelle Voth, the partnership’s executive director. “We are exploring other opportunities and doing some fundraising in hopes of filling in some other gaps in the system.” Angela de Rocha, a spokesperson for the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, said state officials recognize that the transition period will be “uncomfortable for some.” But, she said, the changes “are necessary to move forward.” “KDADS’ No. 1 priority in all of this is to support community-level prevention work,” she said. As part of that goal, KDADS is restructuring its prevention efforts to award the funding that had gone to the 10 regional prevention centers instead to local prevention efforts at the community level. Those community efforts are still in the planning stage, de Rocha said, so the funding has not yet been awarded. “The new system is set up to work with those community prevention groups to make them more effective,” she said. Through a competitive bidding process, KDADS selected the Center for Community Support and Research at Wichita State University to design the new behavioral health system. The process, which is being funded with a $684,997 KDADS grant, is expected to take about a year. The process is separate from a recent review of the behavioral health system that focused on the state’s hospitals for Kansans with severe mental health issues. Two other organiza-

tions will help the Wichita State center with planning and implementation. The Center for Learning Tree Institute in Girard, an affiliate of the Southeast Kansas Education Service Center at Greenbush, will use a $606,950 KDADS grant to collect and analyze data. DCCCA Inc., a Lawrence-based nonprofit, was awarded a $346,245 grant to develop and distribute training materials. “We’re excited about this new approach, though all of us would agree, I think, that it remains to be seen what the results will be,” said Lori Alvarado, executive director at DCCCA. Much of the technical assistance, Alvarado said, will involve making training materials available online and “brokering relationships” among community groups selected to play a role in the new system. Several nonprofit organizations that help people with behavioral health problems access services are waiting to see what

will happen to their state support. Last year, the National Alliance on Mental Illness office in Kansas and Keys for Networking each received KDADS grants of $150,000. The agency renewed both grants this year but reduced them to $100,000. “We’re not going to close, but we are looking for alternate funding sources,” said Jane Adams, executive director of Keys for Networking. Rick Cagan, executive director of NAMI’s Kansas office, said the funding reduction could jeopardize the future of the organization. “We cannot ignore losing $50,000 — that’s a third of our budget,” Cagan said. “We’ll either find a way to replace that money or we’ll hit the wall.” — The nonprofit KHI News Service is an editorially independent initiative of the Kansas Health Institute and a partner in the Heartland Health Monitor reporting collaboration.

And in fact, shortly after that encounter, I saw an uptick in the number of incidents in which friends went drinking, came home, put sleepy heads on hands, and ended up in a low-consent sexual encounter. Far more astonishingly, however, is how infrequently that has happened as this trend becomes another new normal. I chalk up both good and bad outcomes of this practice to one thing: communication, as Gabe notes next. Gabe: To be honest, before Dr. Wes sent me the topic this week, I’d never heard of two teenagers “sleeping together” like this. However, upon thinking about it, it isn’t that far-fetched that two friends could sleep in the same bed as just friends. Friends will often find themselves tired while spending time together, and sharing a bed may just seem more comfortable. But cuddling in bed is a very intimate activity no matter what your intentions are before it begins. Thus, it’s very important for the two

Four public pools can be found in Lawrence.

friends to establish ground rules before any miscommunications happen and the relationship suffers. Each party should first ask themselves, “Why do I want to cuddle with this person?” Hopefully both will be on the same page with their answers, or else it might not be a very good idea. Some might just be looking to share a soft bed, others might want limited making out, and others may want a friends with benefits-style sexual encounter. While this discussion doesn’t need to be extensive, it needs to be clear enough that no one is confused. This kind of sleep situation gets even trickier when you add alcohol. An instance of sleeping together may start out strictly platonic, but with very little effort may turn into something that one or the other may not fully consent to. I know it isn’t always easy to check yourself

practice breathing out of both sides rather than just going to the same side.” The best way to avoid an injury in the water, Mason reiterated, is to start out slow. Relatively easy on the body and the pocketbook, swimming has something for everyone, Gibbs said. “A lot of folks don’t realize when you’re swimming you’re using every muscle in your body and you’re using them differently,” Gibbs said. “It’s a full-body workout and you’re in a cool environment, so it’s not like when you go to the gym and you sweat and listen to people grunt.”

Dear Annie: My heart is breaking for my sister. She has been married to the same man for more than 30 years and he has never been kind or respectful toward her. They have two married sons and a grandchild. My sister loves that grandchild more than life itself but rarely gets to see him. Worse, her sons treat her terribly. I have several siblings and although none of us is perfect, we have all tried our best to be good parents. My sister has recently developed medical problems, but she is so depressed about her life that she doesn’t care about her own health. I am worried about her. She deserves love and respect and has sacrificed herself for the men in her life. Should I write a letter to my nephews and open their eyes? — Big Sister

Dear Sister: If your brother-in-law has treated his wife disrespectfully their entire married life and she has tolerated it, then her sons will treat her similarly. That is the pattern they grew up with and they see nothing wrong with it. Your sister needs to assert herself and demand more acceptable behavior, but we suspect she doesn’t know how. If you want to write letters to your nephews, by all means do so, but it

‘Morals’ a retro vice or a cop-out? On television, the 1960s never end. “Mad Men” has given way to “Aquarius” and “The Astronaut Wives Club.” Now the decade lives on with “Public Morals” (9 p.m., TNT). Produced, written, created and directed by Edward Burns (”The Brothers McMullen”), “Morals” returns to 1967 New York, where the vice squad “manages” the city’s taste for prostitution, gambling and degeneracy. To “manage,” Burns’ character, Officer Muldoon, explains, is to deal with vice the way a landlord might, ensuring it doesn’t get out of control, but also collecting “rent” in the form of payoffs and shakedowns. So, not unlike “The Shield,” this series is trying to make sympathetic characters out of Muldoon and his colleagues (Michael Rapaport, Ruben Santiago-Hudson and Wass Stevens) — corrupt cops all. That’s a tall order. “Morals” recalls a culture where figures of authority on both sides of the law — mobsters, police captains, ward-heelers, judges and monsignors — might come from the same neighborhoods and even the same family. They were, in the words of “The Godfather, Part II” character Michael Corleone, “all part of the same hypocrisy.” Burns’ goals are ambitious, but he seems to want to have his retro cake and eat it too. At one point, a nun demands that Muldoon report to his son’s parochial school, where the boy has become a disrespectful troublemaker. Later, Muldoon gives him a good talking-to, complete with sarcasm and reverse psychology. Muldoon’s wife (far too thin, young and glamorous for the role) complains that he is being “too hard” on the boy. Too hard? In the social setting that Burns seeks to evoke, corporal punishment was more than accepted and all but expected. I’m reminded of Lorraine Bracco’s character Karen from “Goodfellas,” describing the other wives and mothers, with “bad skin and too much makeup,” who talked about punishing their kids with “broom handles and leather belts.”

We also hope you will offer to go with your sister for counseling so she can learn to stop putting up with such disrespect, and to help her take control of her life and health. Dear Annie: Eleven years ago, when my father passed away, the funeral home gave my mother an American flag, since Dad was a veteran of WWII. As per his wishes, there was no funeral and he was cremated. This flag was never used and my mother put it away in a closet. Now she is in a nursing facility and I have the flag.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Junior QB hearing freshman footsteps The purpose of head football coach David Beaty’s news conference Monday inside Mrkonic Auditorium was to announce Kansas University’s starting quarterback of the present, Montell Cozart. Those listening closely could hear the thundering footsteps of the program’s QB of the not-necessarilydistant future. Clearly, Ryan Willis has done nothing but impress coaches with a strong summer camp. In fact, he’s coming on so strong that Beaty said the quarterback depth chart behind Cozart has not been determined. Junior-college transfer Deondre Ford had been getting far more snaps than either freshman, Willis or Carter Stanley, but the freshmen both performed well at Saturday’s scrimmage that was open to KU students. For Stanley, that meant improvement from how he looked early in camp. For Willis, it was part of a steady progression from a prospect who had arrived from Bishop Miege with the look of a guy who felt as if he belonged. “Ideally, you would like to red-shirt one of them if you could,” Beaty said. “I’m not sure that we’re going to have that luxury with either one of them. You just don’t know.” Asked about Cozart’s accuracy, Beaty said it has been “really good.” And then, unsolicited, Beaty shifted the conversation. “The one guy that really stood out to me accuracywise was Ryan Willis,” Beaty said. “Ryan Willis, he is a talented guy. He really is. He’s going to continue to push these guys, whether he’s second, third, whatever. He’s going to continue to push. He can put it where he wants to put it, whether he’s on the move or sitting still.” At 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, Willis has plenty of size. His mother won the Big Eight triple jump for Iowa State. His father was a kicker at Kansas State. One sister played basketball at Oklahoma, the other at Saint Louis University. He’s not lacking for athletic genes. Beaty singling out his accuracy resonates because it’s always the former Bishop Miege quarterback’s arm strength that usually generates the loudest buzz. “The thing about Ryan you can see if you just watch him throw it a couple of times is, man, he’s got a rocket arm,” offensive coordinator Rob Likens said. “I mean, he has got a rocket arm.

Starter Cozart credits brother

KANSAS UNIVERSITY JUNIOR MONTELL COZART earned the starting nod at quarterback from KU coach David Beaty on Monday.

Up a few pounds and 2 percent body fat from the end of the 2014 season, Kansas University junior Montell Cozart on Monday was named the Jayhawks’ starting quarterback for 2015 by firstyear coach David Beaty. The announcement paved the way for Cozart, a 6-foot2, 197-pound Bishop Miege graduate, to enter his second consecutive season as the Jayhawks’ starter, thus likely ending a six-year streak during which Kansas trotted out a different QB to start each season. Unlike the first go ’round in 2014, when he was benched five games in, Cozart pledges to be a different player this season. And he has his older brother, Wade, to thank for it. “That’s my guy,” Cozart said of his 29-year-old brother. “I go to him about anything. I talked to him in the offseason, and he just kind of reminded me who I was. He said he saw me take a step back (last season) and not be who I was and what he had seen growing up. That just made me think and reassured me that, ‘Hey, I can do this.’” A big part of Wade’s message to his younger brother focused on one of the biggest criticisms of Cozart’s game — courage and toughness. Wade’s words were why Cozart added the extra bulk. “Playing the position I’m playing, I needed some fat on me,” he said. “It gives me a lot of confidence that I can take a hit and trust myself.” And his new physique is why Cozart is more willing Please see COZART, page 3D

IndyCar driver Justin Wilson died Monday night from a head injury suffered when a piece of debris struck him at Pocono Raceway. He was 37. IndyCar made the announcement at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Hornets extend Kidd-Gilchrist Charlotte, N.C. — Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has agreed to a four-year, $52 million contract extension with the Charlotte Hornets, a person familiar with the situation said Monday. The person spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the move hasn’t been announced. Yahoo Sports was first to report the deal. The 6-foot-7, 232-pound Kidd-Gilchrist is known primarily for his defense but increased his offensive output last season. He averaged a career-high 10.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists.

Norman, Okla. — No. 19 Oklahoma has named Baker Mayfield the starting quarterback over last year’s starter, Trevor Knight. Coach Bob Stoops made the announcement Monday. “It’s been a very tight battle among those three guys,” Stoops said in a statement. “Baker, Trevor and Cody (Thomas) have all made substantial progress, and I feel we can win with any of them.” Mayfield sat out last season after transferring from Texas Tech. As a freshman walk-on at Tech in 2013, he passed for 2,315 yards and 12 touchdowns in eight games and was named Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year. At Oklahoma, Mayfield will run new offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley’s Air Raid offense, the same system he ran at Tech. Riley, the former East Carolina offensive coordinator, knew about Mayfield before he took the job at Oklahoma. “I got a chance to watch Baker Ed Zurga/AP Photo as a freshman at Texas Tech,” KANSAS CITY QUARTERBACK ALEX SMITH PASSES during the first half of the Chiefs’ exhibition against the Riley said back in January. “We Seahawks on Friday in Kansas City, Missouri. tried to heck to get him at East Carolina when he left.

Tallahassee, Fla. — Florida State running back Dalvin Cook was found not guilty on Monday of punching a woman in the face outside a bar in June after she engaged in a shouting match with him and his teammates. The college immediately lifted his suspension following the verdict. It took the seven-member jury only about 20 minutes to deliver its decision after a one-day trial that included the testimony of the alleged victim, one of her friends and several of Cook’s teammates. Cook had been charged with misdemeanor battery. “I’m just thankful and blessed that the truth came out,” said Cook, who had been indefinitely suspended after being charged in the June 23 incident. “It’s time to go to work — back to the field. I’ve been working, but now it’s time to get at it.” The prosecutor, Sarah Dugan, said she was disappointed in the verdict. The alleged victim, Madison Geohegan, quickly left the courtroom before she could be asked for comment.

Chiefs’ QB Smith says he’s too smart for own good Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — When the Chiefs traded for Alex Smith, one of the reasons that general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid were so enamored of him was his vast knowledge of the game. Turns out Smith may be too smart for his own good. After struggling through two preseason games, Smith said Monday that part of the issue is that he has too good of a grasp of the Kansas City offense. So rather than react to what defenses are giving him, Smith is trying to outwit them, leading to incompletions and interceptions. “Watching the film with coach, I’m trying to do too much,” he said. “You know where everyone is at. You know the details. I need to go back to the fundamentals. I’m doing too much with my eyes and things like that.” By that, Smith means trying to lure defenders into a certain spot on the field based on where he is looking, which would allow his wide receivers to run free. That certainly didn’t work in the first half Friday night against Seattle, when he threw a pass right at Bobby Wagner. The Seahawks linebacker barely had to move to catch the pass — it was so off-target that it was hard to tell exactly who the intended receiver was — and Wagner was able to run untouched 25 yards for a touchdown that gave Seattle the lead. “Trying to hold guys, move guys, doing too much of that,” Smith said. “I really felt looking at the film, I need to get back to moving the ball, executing the offense.” It’s easy to forgive Smith for trying to stretch his knowledge

Winston shows progress in Bucs’ victory over Bengals Tampa, Fla. (ap) — It’s only preseason, but Tampa Bay’s Jameis Winston is clearly making strides as an NFL quarterback. The first overall pick in this year’s draft scored a one-yard touchdown run after he was nearly flawless on the first drive, and the Buccaneers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 25-11 on Monday night. Winston was 3-of-3 passing of the offense. This is the first time in his 11-year professional career he’s had the same offensive coordinator — Doug Pederson — three straight seasons. In all, Smith has gone through seven coordinators, including a stretch of five in his first five seasons in the league. In other words, this is the first time that Smith has ever gone through training camp and preseason games where he feels completely confident in the system. “Yeah, I’m doing too much with things like my eyes and things like that,” he said, “but I’m very comfortable, without a doubt. We’ve got a lot of the same pieces in place, I’ve been with the same coaches for three years, so it’s a good thing.” Yet the results haven’t been very good. Smith was 6-of-10 for 42 yards with an interception against Arizona, and 11of-18 for 81 yards with a touchdown and pick-six against the Seahawks. Perhaps drawing more scrutiny to Smith’s uneven performances has been the fact

for 27 yards, leading an 80yard scoring drive that set the tone for a tough night for the Bengals (1-1), who yielded 52 yards rushing to Doug Martin along the way. Winston limped off the field, done for the night, two plays after appearing to tweak his right ankle when he was sacked by Geno Atkins and Wallace Gilberry early in the second quarter. backup Chase Daniel has been dynamic, throwing four TD passes without an interception — albeit, leading the Chiefs’ second-team offense against the opposing team’s backup defense. Reid remains unconcerned about his starting quarterback, who was given a four-year, $68 million contract extension prior to last season. But he also expects Smith to clean up things. “He’s trying to put things in small windows and make plays, (and) we’re asking him to do some different things, and he’ll get all that taken care of,” Reid said. “That’s not his M.O., so I’m not too worried about it.” Notes: Reid said Pro Bowl NT Dontari Poe (back surgery) is ahead of schedule, though he refused to say whether Poe will be ready for the regular season. “He’s doing great. He’s really made big strides,” Reid said. “He says he’s going to play the first game. I say, ‘OK, we’ll see,’ then the doctors have to evaluate it. We’ll see.”

and better equipped to take a few hits on Saturdays this fall. “As a quarterback, you can’t play like that,” Cozart said. “You can’t play fearful. Now I’m at the point where if I get hit, I’m gonna hop right back up.” So moved was Cozart by his brother’s message that he made plans to add a tattoo depicting a likeness of Wade and Cozart’s niece, Quayae, across his left ribs. He hopes to get the fresh ink done before the Sept. 5 season opener and said putting it in one of a quarterback’s most vulnerable spots would serve as a reminder that his brother has his back. “He’s right there, man,” Cozart said. “That’s exactly why I wanted to do it.” As for why Beaty and company elected to go with Cozart, the 20-yearold junior’s experience, athleticism and consistency were critical in the decision. “He took the first snap with the ones, and he took the last snap with the ones,” Beaty said of Cozart holding down the top spot throughout camp. “Overall, Montell was clearly ahead of the rest of the pack. Now all he’s gotta do is go out and produce.” The news that Cozart had won — rather, earned — the starting job

of seniors: quarterback Bryce Torneden, a North Dakota State commit, running back Sam Skwarlo, tight end Darian Lewis, receivers Drew Tochtrop and Logan McKinney; and junior receiver Zack Sanders. The biggest key will be rebuilding the offensive line with juniors and sophomores. Senior Tanner Liba is the only returning starter. On defense, a number of Firebirds gained extra experience when the team was hit by injuries last year. They are led by Lewis and Jalen Galloway on the defensive line, Skwarlo, Tochtrop, Paul Bittinger and Jay Dineen at linebacker, and Sanders, McKinney, Torneden and Zion Bowlin in the secondary. “We return a lot of experience and athleticism on both sides of the ball,” 19th-year coach Bob Lisher said. “We need to gain experience quickly on both the offensive line and defensive line.” The Firebirds had one of the toughest schedules in the state last year, and it didn’t get any easier starting with a home game against Shawnee Mission West at 7 p.m. on Sept. 4.

Cross Country Free State’s girls cross country team was dominant throughout last season, and the Firebirds show no signs of stopping this year. They won Sunflower League and regional titles last year, finished second at state and return a strong core of runners led by two-time state champion Emily Venters, senior Claire Sanner, senior Liv Lyche and junior Kiran Cordes. They also hope to get a boost from Emma Hertig and Taylor Mosher. The boys’ team won its first league title last year and finished fourth at state, but lost a talented group of seniors. However, seniors Ethan Donley and Tanner Hockenbury hope their leadership can keep the Firebirds from taking

“

He took the first snap with the ones and he took the last snap with the ones. Overall, Montell was clearly ahead of the rest of the pack. Now all he’s gotta do is go out and produce.” — Kansas football coach David Beaty on Montell Cozart’s performance in preseason camp. was first delivered by offensive coordinator Rob Likens during a meeting Sunday night. Monday morning, Cozart received a message that Beaty wanted to see him, and Cozart knew what the meeting was about. Hearing the words from the head guy, though, sent a smile across his face and filled his heart and head with excitement. The words? “We’re giving you the keys,” Cozart recalled hearing. “It’s time for you to lead our guys.” Monday afternoon, Likens elaborated on why the coaching staff picked Cozart and said he was incredibly proud of the way the junior handled himself during the competition. “I think he expected it, but he was so excited because he knew that he earned it,” Likens said. “That was the deal. It started with the quarterback position, and we had one chance to set the standard here, and everybody’s got to earn their position, and Mon-

any steps backwards. They also hope to pick up contributions from Calvin Yost-Wolff, Eli Jost, Jared Hicks and Avant Edwards. “We have over 100 kids out now, and it will be a season of firsts for many of them,” coach Steve Heffernan said. “We have a good chance to be very competitive at all levels.” Free State starts the season in the Olathe East Invitational at 4 p.m. on Sept. 3.

tell earned it. It was not given to him just because he had the inside track. We evaluated him. We monitored him every day. We kept the stats. We looked at everything, and he earned it. So he was excited to hear the news.” Beaty has made it clear, and Cozart understands that being named the starter was merely step one. Now, he has to prove he deserved it and can handle it better than he did the first time around. Judging by how he functioned at Monday’s practice, which, admittedly is a much different environment than game day, Cozart already is comfortable with his role. During the stretching portion of practice, Cozart stood in the middle of the team and hollered out each warm-up exercise before leading the team through it. He had bounce in his step. And he set an example for how each exercise should be done. It was just a glimpse at the way Cozart functioned throughout the offseason, according to right tackle Larry Mazyck, minus the spot at center stage, of course. “He’s more vocal than he was last year,” Mazyck said. “And he’s willing to put himself out there to get the offense’s attention.” Added Cozart: “All my life I’ve been quiet, humble, going with the flow. But now it’s time to get out of that comfort zone and be able to lead and talk.”

Girls golf Last year was a banner year for Free State’s girls golf team, finishing third in the Sunflower League and 10th at state. Now the Firebirds and third-year coach Layne Meyer are looking at a rebuilding season.

KANSAS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Jazz sign Withey By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

The Utah Jazz on Monday signed former Kansas University center Jeff Withey to a two-year contract. Terms were not disclosed. However, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports said the contract was partially guaranteed, with a team option in the second year. “Can’t ask for a better organization to play for. So grateful for the opportunity,” Withey, a 25-year-old native of San Diego, wrote Monday on Twitter. A second-round pick who went No. 39 overall in the 2013 NBA Draft, Withey spent his first two seasons in the NBA with the New Orleans Pelicans. He averaged 2.7 points and 1.7 rebounds while logging 7.0 minutes in 37 games a year ago. He scored 10-plus points three times, including a season-high 14 points with a career-high-tying eight boards versus Golden State on March 20. He has two five-block games in his career. Withey averaged 3.3 points and 2.6 boards while averaging 11.8 minutes per contest in 58 games his rookie season. “It is possible Withey makes the Utah roster, but once again it will be difficult for him to get run. Clearly Rudy Gobert is the starter for the Jazz at center, but the minutes behind him are up for grabs,” writes Kurt Helin

of probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com. “Rookie Tibor Pleiss will be on the roster, as will Trey Lyles, but throw in Derrick Favors and Trevor Booker and space is limited along the front line. Jack Cooley has a partially-guaranteed deal as well and will be fighting for a roster spot along with Withey,” Helin adds. Wojnarowski stated that Utah has six players with non-guaranteed, partial contracts, with two roster spots available. Withey in late June Withey tweeted that he had been in Los Angeles working on his game with Pelicans forward Anthony Davis. “Withey puts up good shot-blocking numbers in the paint, he’s a solid rebounder, although his lack of NBA-level athleticism limits him. But even if he defends well, the question becomes (is) his raw offensive game too much of a drag to make him worth it? Has Withey taken steps forward on the offensive end we have yet to see? Maybe a midrange game?” Helin writes. “If Withey can prove that he learned and grew his game the past couple seasons on the bench in New Orleans — that he’s more than just another tall body — he will get

some run in Utah. But he’s going to have to prove it. They have options.” l

More on Sasha: Former KU center Sasha Kaun, who is headed to Cleveland on a two-year deal, is not expected to start for the Cavaliers. “His presence is more about providing depth at center, where he’ll back up fellow Russian national team veteran Timofey Mozgov,” writes Joseph Zucker of Bleacher Report. “The NBA Finals exposed how little depth Cleveland had beyond its key players, so the timing of Kaun’s arrival couldn’t be any better.” Dollar figures for Kaun’s salary have yet to be disclosed. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst says the second year of the deal is a player option. Former NBA front office executive Bobby Marks says on Twitter the Cavs had $1.2 million available, apparently to pay Kaun that amount per season. l

Wiley trims list: Austin Wiley, a 6-10 junior forward from Spain Park High in Birmingham, Alabama, who is ranked No. 15 in the Class of 2017 by Rivals. com, has trimmed his list of schools to eight. They are: KU, Auburn, Alabama, Duke, Florida, LSU, UAB and Mississippi State. He made an unofficial visit to Auburn last weekend and spoke glowingly about the visit to Rivals.com.

He’s improved immensely.” Even so, the battle for backup quarterback, the result of which might not be revealed until a week from today, likely appears to be between Ford and the QB who looks to have the highest ceiling on the roster, Willis.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Wright returns; Mets roll The Associated Press

National League Mets 16, Phillies 7 Philadelphia — David Wright hit a long home run on his first majorleague swing in 133 days, Wilmer Flores went deep twice, and the Mets set a franchise record with eight homers in victory over Philadelphia on Monday night. Yoenis Cespedes, Juan Lagares, Travis d’Arnaud, Daniel Murphy and Michael Cuddyer also connected for the NL Eastleading Mets. New York set a franchise record with 15 extra-base hits — seven doubles and eight homers. The teams tied an NL record with 11 combined homers. Fresh off scoring 33 runs in a three-game sweep at Colorado, the Mets slugged their way back from a 7-2 deficit after Jacob deGrom’s shortest career outing. The 2014 NL Rookie of the Year lasted just 22⁄3 innings and allowed a career-high seven runs on eight hits. His ERA rose from 1.98 to 2.29.Sean Gilmartin (3-1) had four strikeouts in 31⁄3 scoreless innings to earn the win.

KANSAS CITY’S OMAR INFANTE (14) CELEBRATES WITH ALEX RIOS (15) AND SALVADOR PEREZ after Infante scored on a throwing error after hitting a two-run triple during the sixth inning of the Royals’ 8-3 victory over the Orioles on Monday in Kansas City, Missouri.

Medlen, Royals win after seven-run sixth Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — It had been nearly two years since Kris Medlen stood on the mound to start a game, so it was no surprise the Royals righthander felt a few butterflies Monday night. He seemed to chase them away in a hurry. After giving up an early two-run homer to Orioles slugger Adam Jones, Medlen got into a groove and cruised through six innings. His offense put up seven runs in the bottom half of that frame, and the result was an 8-3 victory over Baltimore to open a four-game set. “I tried not to make it about myself,” said Medlen, whose last start came on Sept. 27, 2013, with Atlanta. “I said from the get-go, I don’t want this to be a, ‘Yay, you made it kind of thing.’ I wanted to come out and produce.” Medlen (2-0) did that, allowing just five hits and striking out six without a walk in his first start since replacing Jeremy Guthrie in the rotation. Still, Medlen was in line for a loss until the Royals broke loose in the sixth inning. Mike Moustakas hit a tying, two-run homer, and Omar Infante added a two-run triple moments later, scampering home when the throw to third base skittered away. Lorenzo Cain drove in two more, spoiling what had been a promising start by Ubaldo Jimenez. Jimenez (9-8) allowed seven runs and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings. “He just started elevating some fastballs and they made him pay for it,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “He was really commanding the ball well and just didn’t that inning.” The loss was the fifth straight for Baltimore and sixth in seven games. It carried a little added sting in that it was the first meeting between the teams since the Royals swept the Orioles in the AL Championship Series on their surprising run to the World Series.

“They pitched well and we didn’t swing the bats well,” Showalter said. “They know that we got to get it going, and that’s not usually a good recipe against good pitchers.” The two-run homer by Jones and a run-scoring double by Steve Clevenger in the fourth inning got the Orioles off to a good start, and Jimenez was cruising through five. The only run he had allowed was on an RBI groundout by Eric Hosmer in the third inning. Things completely unraveled for Jimenez in the sixth. Hosmer doubled with one out and Moustakas sent a pitch soaring into the right-field stands to knot the game 3-all. Salvador Perez singled, Alex Rios hit a double and Infante sent a triple into the gap in left-center, sliding into third base ahead of the throw. When it skipped away to the third-base dugout, Infante clambered to his feet and chugged on home. Alcides Escobar and Ben Zobrist followed

with hits before Cain’s two-run double made it a seven-run inning, matching a season best for the Royals. Medlen’s night was done by that point. He threw 69 pitches, one fewer than manager Ned Yost had said was his limit. Bullpen buddies Franklin Morales and Luke Hochevar did the rest. “He gave up a couple of early runs,” Moustakas said, “but you can’t ask for much more from someone making their first start in two or three years.”

Two outs, no problems The Royals went 9-for16 with two outs, pushing their major leagueleading average to .283 in those situations. Clevenger takes leave Clevenger extended his season-high hitting streak to eight games, though No. 9 will have to wait. He’s leaving the team to be with his pregnant wife, who will be induced on Tuesday. “Hopefully this time tomorrow, we’ll have a nice little addition to the club,” Showalter said. Trainer’s room Orioles: SS J.J. Hardy (groin) went on the DL and INF-OF Steve Pearce (left oblique) was reinstated. ... RHP Mike Wright (calf) will start for Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday. Royals: First-base coach Rusty Kuntz was back at work after missing 13 days with a sinus infection and stomach virus. Kuntz said he lost more than 10 pounds during the illness.
