Lawsuit alleges LMH falsified records Fired nurse: Hospital committed fraud to maximize Medicare reimbursement By Michelle Tevis Twitter: @MichelleKTevis

A former employee of Lawrence Memorial Hospital has sued the hospital, alleging that it falsified records to increase Medicare and Medicaid payments.

Duffy

An attorney for Megen Duffy, a former emergency room nurse at LMH, filed the “whistleblower” lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan. The suit alleges that arrival times of patients with chest pains were falsified in the Emergency Depart-

ment to appear to coincide exactly with the time of the automatically generated time produced by the EKG monitor. Changing this time, the complaint says, conceals any time the patient spent in the waiting room, at registration or in triage. The suit says the fraud started as early as 2007.

According to the complaint, hospital senior staff and supervisors told Emergency Department staff members that the purpose of going to such lengths to falsely document arrival times, and other times related to treatment, was “to maximize reimbursement from CMS

(the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services).” “When employees questioned the practice and balked at falsifying these records, they were told that if they did not want to follow the policy that there were other hospitals where they could go work,” the complaint states. Please see LMH, page 6A

RUBY TOAL, 3, ENJOYS VIEWING SOME YOUNG COCKATIELS in a display Monday at Pet World. Lawrence city commissioners will be considering stricter fire codes for commercial buildings that house animals in the city at their meeting today. The proposed new rules, which would require automatic sprinkler systems in any animal-housing facility larger than 3,000 square feet, come in the wake of fires at two such facilities in the past year, including a fire at Pet World on Memorial Day, May 25.

City leaders to consider stronger fire codes for animal facilities By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Lawrence city commissioners will be asked today to approve stricter fire codes for commercial buildings that house animals in

the city. The proposed new rules, which would require automatic sprinkler systems in any animal-housing facility larger than 3,000 square feet, come in the wake of fires at two such facilities in the past year.

The first occurred Nov. 29, 2014, at Christal K-9, in which at least three dogs that were being boarded were killed. That fire prompted city commissioners at that time to initiate a review of the city’s fire codes for animal-housing facilities.

In May, another fire broke out at Pet World, a retail pet store, resulting in the deaths of many animals. The store owner has never revealed exactly how many animals died. Please see FIRE, page 2A

Nearly two months after county commissioners said they were interested in a third-party review of the county’s building codes department, commissioners are set to find a consultant to conduct the review. Commissioners in early July indicated they wanted an outside consultant to examine the building and codes division after a contro- Kobach versy emerged over whether a rural building project by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach had been granted too many exemptions from the county’s building code. At Wednesday’s Douglas County Commission meeting, commissioners will consider soliciting proposals from consultants interested in conducting the review. But it was unclear on Monday whether the proposed review will seek answers to many of the questions that surrounded the Kobach project. County Commissioners Jim Flory and Nancy Thellman both declined to answer questions for this article, and attempts to reach Commissioner Mike Gaughan were unsuccessful. The Kobach case — which involves a dispute over whether Kobach improperly converted an agricultural building into a residence without receiving the necessary county permits — has raised questions about whether the county’s building codes department has been allowed to use too much discretion in exempting projects from codes.

DEATHS

Fire

Journal-World obituary policy: For information about running obituaries, call 832-7151. Obituaries run as submitted by funeral homes or the families of the deceased.

Alfred Burton Gordine 77, of McLouth, Died at his home. Memorial services are 10:00AM Friday at the Barnett Family Funeral Home, a full obituary at www.barnettfamilyfh.com

Margarete H. KobialKa Margarete H. Kobialka “Mama Kobi”, age 87, a longtime resident of Bonner Springs, Kansas passed while surrounded by her loving family, at her home, on Friday, August 14, 2015. Funeral Mass Service will be 11:00 a.m. Thursday, August 20, at the St. Patrick Catholic Church (1086 N. 94th St. Kansas City KS.) burial will follow in the Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens Cemetery. A Rosary Service will be 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, also at the church, followed by the visitation until 7:30 p.m. Memorial Contributions can be made to the Blessed Trinity Home Health Care or Hospice Partners of Kansas, both in care of the AldenHarrington Funeral Home. Margarete was born on December 14, 1927 in Wurpenthal “Prague”, Czechoslovakia. She married Frank Kobialka in Germany on March 12, 1948. Together, with their first child Franz, they immigrated to the U.S. in 1951, through Ellis Island, New York. She was a member of the German-American Club, with whom she traveled abroad to many countries. She also was a member of the Polish Club, St. Joseph Catholic Church, on Strawberry

Commissioners on Monday would not comment on whether they intend for a third-party review to answer that question. Flory said he was reserving comment for Wednesday’s meeting. Thellman said she had not read the pageand-a-half staff report on the issue and was reserving comment until she had done so. Commissioners on Wednesday will receive a report from Assistant County Administrator Sarah Plinsky. It details some issues a consultant could review, but it does not specifically mention the Kobach case. Among the items the report says a consultant could review are: l Responsiveness of the Douglas County zoning and codes department, including a review of how long it takes the department to process plans and how that time period compares with other governments in the region. l Fairness and professionalism of the department, including a review of how the department can “integrate contractor and builder feedback to ensure that staff interactions are fair and professional.” l A best practices review to examine how

other governments handle issues related to how construction permits are valued, what policies and procedures are used for waiving building permit fees, and how communities deal with issues related to construction that occurred without a permit.

Zoning questions The Kobach case has created numerous questions surrounding the county’s zoning and codes department. In 2013, Kobach swore in an affidavit that a 2,250-square-foot metal barn he planned to build in northern Douglas County would be used only for agricultural purposes and would not be “a place for human habitation,” “a place of employment” or “a place used by the public.” But in spring 2014, Douglas County inspector Pat Wempe found Kobach had the framework inside the barn for a 1,250-square-foot, two-bedroom home with electrical hookups and plumbing for a kitchen, laundry room and bathroom. County Administrator Craig Weinaug ordered codes director Jim Sherman — who has since resigned to become the codes director in another community — to take over the inspection. Sherman issued Kobach an occupancy permit in September 2014 even though Kobach did

The proposal being recommended by city staff would only apply to new facilities or to existing facilities undergoing renovation. But some organizations are suggesting the regulations should be even tighter. The Lawrence Humane Society is recommending the rules apply to all new or renovated animal-housing facilities, regardless of size. And Pet World is suggesting that all existing facilities be required to install sprinkler systems immediately. City officials said they considered making the requirement retroactive when they held meetings with pet industry representatives this spring, but they were persuaded that would be too great a cost for existing businesses. “A few animal service business operators shared that they attempted to install fire sprinkling systems in the past, but retrofitting their facilities was too expensive,” Assistant City Manager Brandon McGuire said in a memo on the subject. “The installation cost of retrofitting existing facilities with fire sprinkling systems is the primary concern voiced by the majority of stakeholders.” But Pet World owner Sherry Emerson said the entire pet industry needs to catch up with modern fire safety standards. “Normally we’re ahead of the curve, but we got way behind it when it comes to fire safety,” she said. “If it puts us out (of business), it puts us out. If you can’t do it safely, maybe it shouldn’t be done.” According to an infor-

mal survey by city officials, there are 13 commercial animal-housing facilities, including pet stores, in Lawrence. Of those, 11 have monitored fire and smoke detectors connected to a phone line. The other two have fire and smoke detectors that are not connected to a phone system. Only one facility has a fire sprinkler system, according to the city survey, although it did not identify which facility that is.

Assessments waiver Also today, commissioners will be asked to waive nearly $45,000 in special assessments for a parcel of land in the East Hills Business Park to accommodate a business expansion. Prosoco Inc., 3741 Greenway Circle, which makes building materials, has announced plans to buy the former Kinedyne building just south of its own facility. But it also wants to acquire a vacant parcel that lies between the two buildings so it can build a driveway for the Kinedyne building. Bruce Boyer, co-owner of Prosoco, said his company is launching a new venture to manufacture insulated wall-panel products for energy-efficient homes and commercial buildings. Boyer said he expects the new plant to start producing the first prototype products by the first of the year, employing as many as five people in the early stages. If the new venture is successful, he said, the plant may employ as many as 25 workers in the future. The property is owned by Douglas County, and the special assessments owed to the city are to pay for streets and utilities in the business park. Under an agreement with

not have an approved water source and the plumbing beneath the concrete foundation had not been inspected, the JournalWorld learned. Sherman later said Kobach had plans to install a water line someday. Weinaug waived a code that required Kobach to pay a penalty for not having a building permit. On Monday, Karrey Britt, a spokeswoman for the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, told the JournalWorld that Kobach was moving away from installing a water line to digging a well. He is scheduling an on-site consultation with the department, she said. The Kobach case also has been controversial because Weinaug’s and Flory’s public responses about the case conflict. Weinaug has said in a taped interview that Kobach did not receive special treatment but that Weinaug had ordered a change in policy when he hired Sherman just a couple of months before the Kobach case surfaced. Weinaug said the codes department needed to be an agency that helped builders get into compliance and not be an agency that just fines and punishes violators. He be-

lieved that county codes gave Sherman broad discretion to implement a friendlier policy, and ordered Sherman to begin implementing the new policy. During a commission hearing and in a published opinion piece in the Journal-World, however, Flory said there was no new policy but agreed that Kobach did not receive special treatment. Instead he said during the commission hearing that the county only had flimsy evidence that Kobach intended to build a house inside the barn, so Sherman couldn’t pursue harsher punishment. But Kay Pettit, another county inspector, insisted at the hearing that there had been favorable treatment and that she had tried to tell Sherman there were problems with Kobach’s case. “I hope you will finally hear my voice when I say that there are nearly 30 violations of the administrative (code) in the Kobach case,” she said. “There are also several life safety code violations in the house, and there are seven questionable zoning items on the Kobach project.” Weinaug on Monday said he has asked Plinsky, his assistant, to lead

ansas University’s new School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures is hoped to better enable a number of disparate departments to pool resources and collaborate in ways that are meaningful and important to student success in the 21st century. KU has been teaching foreign languages since the 1800s and now teaches more than 40 languages (more than any other university in Kansas or the Big 12) plus courses on culture, literature, history and politics connected with those languages, according to the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, or SLLC, website. But foreign language enrollment at KU and nationwide is down, and that’s part of what’s spurring KU to rethink the way foreign language education is delivered, SLLC director Marc Greenberg said in a story I wrote on the trend earlier this year.

BRIEFLY Man convicted in Jewish site killings Olathe (ap) — The man who admitted killing three people at two suburban Kansas City Jewish sites gave jurors a Nazi salute Monday after they convicted him of murder and other charges. It took the jury just over two hours to find Frazier Glenn Miller Jr., 74, of Aurora, Mo., guilty of one count of capital murder, three counts of attempted murder and assault and weapons charges in the April 2014 shootings at two Jewish sites in Overland Park. After the verdict was announced, Miller said, “The fat lady just sang,” and he raised his right arm in the Nazi salute. Miller’s sentencing is expected to begin today.

Pet protection A proposed city policy setting fire safety requirements for local animal facilities is on the right track.

he Lawrence city staff has done more research and come up with the same conclusion about the need for safety measures at local facilities that house animals. The Lawrence City Commission began discussing this issue several months ago after a number of animals died or were injured in fires at two local pet facilities — a pet store and a boarding facility. City staff members worked with various stakeholders that would be affected and arrived at a plan that set requirements for fire alarm and fire sprinkler systems. After hearing a report and some questions in June, commissioners instructed the city staff to seek additional input from those stakeholders. After seeking that input, city staff members reported broad, although not unanimous, support for their initial recommendation, which city commissioners will reconsider at tonight’s meeting. The basics of the plan are this: l All animal housing facilities would be required to install smoke detectors and monitored fire alarm systems. All facilities also would have to provide fire extinguishers and carbon monoxide detection equipment where fuel-fired appliances are used. They also would have to develop emergency plans and provide staff drills for implementing those plans. l In addition to those requirements, all new or renovated facilities of more than 3,000 square feet would be required to install automatic fire sprinklers; smaller facilities would be exempt from that requirement. The staff’s recommendation seems to outline a reasonable approach to the issue, although there may be some debate on the fire sprinkler requirement. Some stakeholders didn’t see why the size of a new or remodeled facility should be a factor in whether sprinklers are required. Animals are at risk at facilities of any size, they say. At least one local boarding facility has said the cost of installing sprinklers at a new facility would be prohibitive. Let facilities that install sprinklers use that as a selling point for people who want to pay more for that level of safety for their pets, she said. Those who think the city’s proposed policy goes too far might consider the voice of experience: the owners of Pet World, which suffered a devastating fire on May 25. They support a code change that requires that all animal facilities, regardless of their size, install fire sprinklers — immediately. City commissioners may want to consider eliminating the double standard based on new facilities’ size, but the staff recommendation is on the right track. Animals locked in pens and cages have no way to escape smoke and fire. Protecting those animals is an appropriate role for city government.

South American economy suffering Listening to the businessas-usual speeches by the leaders of Argentina, Bolivia, Venezuela and other South American countries in the wake of China’s economic slowdown, it seems like they are living on a different planet. They are still bragging about their countries’ abundant natural resources and raw materials, as if that mattered much in the new world of Google, Apple and Uber. In recent years, when South America benefitted from record world commodity prices thanks to China’s ever-growing purchases of oil, soybeans and other raw materials, the region’s leaders embarked on a populist fiesta, failing to notice that the world was moving swiftly toward a knowledge economy. They spent heavily on social subsidies and fooled their populations into thinking that they had come up with magical formulas to reduce poverty. Meantime, they neglected investing in quality education, science, technology and innovation. But now, the fiesta is over, and Latin America faces a perfect storm: an economic slowdown in China, falling commodity prices, a flight to safer countries by international investors, and the possibility that the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise interest rates, which would make it more difficult for countries in the region to get loans or pay their foreign debts.

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

They have become so complacent with their commodity booms that they have done very little to become more competitive in exporting manufactured or hightech goods.”

What’s worse, many South American countries are finding themselves with little to sell other than low-priced raw materials. They have become so complacent with their commodity booms that they have done very little to become more competitive in exporting manufactured or high-tech goods. The region’s spending in research and development averages 0.5 percent of its gross domestic product, compared with 4 percent in Israel and Finland. South American countries produce about 5 percent of the

international patents registered by South Korea, according to the U.S. Office of Patents and Trademarks. New figures from the United Nations Economic Commission on Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) show that Latin America’s exports of manufactured goods fell from 72.3 percent of the region’s total exports in 2000, to 58.6 percent in 2014. An alarming study published Aug. 13 by the Mexican daily El Financiero, quoting a study by JPMorgan and central banks, shows examples of the commodity dependence of specific South American countries. Consider these figures, which according to the paper, are from December 2014: l Venezuela relies on commodities for 98 percent of its total exports. The country produces virtually nothing but oil, iron and aluminum. l Ecuador relies on commodities for 86 percent of its total exports. Most of what the country sells abroad is oil, bananas and flowers. l Colombia relies on commodities for 79 percent of its total exports. Most of its exports are oil, coal, coffee, gold and flowers. l Bolivia relies on commodities for 72 percent of its total exports. Most of what it sells abroad is oil, silver and zinc. l Argentina and Peru rely on commodities and basic agricultural manufactured

goods for 70 percent of their respective total exports. Argentina exports mostly soybeans, while Peru exports copper, gold and fish meal. l Chile depends of commodities for 63 percent of its export income. Its top exports are copper and fruits. l Brazil depends on commodities for 52 percent of its total export income. It exports mostly iron, oils, soybeans, sugar and coffee. One of the few exceptions to Latin America’s commodity dependence is Mexico, which relies on raw materials — mostly oil — for 17 percent of its total export income. My opinion: Instead of investing in the future, much of South America has wasted its economic bonanza of the past decade in populist subsidies that have left it illprepared to face the coming headwinds. Now more than ever, South American leaders should focus on changing their countries’ economic strategies and produce more sophisticated goods. They should be talking about spending as much as Israel in research and development, scoring as high as China in international PISA student achievement tests, and registering as many patents of new inventions as South Korea. Sadly, they are talking about the past, oblivious to the approaching storm. — Andres Oppenheimer is a Latin America correspondent for the Miami Herald.

Campaign finance caps work in Canada By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

I spent part of August on vacation in Canada, only to find myself on what was once called a busman’s holiday: Canadians are in the throes of a national election campaign, just like us. And, just like us, they’re grouchy about the state of their democracy. They say their campaign goes on too long — “a marathon,” one broadcaster complained. They fret that it’s awash in money. By election day, candidates, parties and political action committees will spend the equivalent of more than $40 million U.S. And they worry that the democratic process has turned angry and uncivil. At one campaign event, a supporter of the incumbent prime minister, the conservative Stephen Harper, told the assembled media that they were “lying pieces of (ordure).” Canadians don’t know how lucky they are. Their “marathon” lasts less than three months; ours takes almost two years. Their $40 million in campaign spending is dwarfed by the $7 billion we spent in 2012, and we’ll spend more than that in 2016. Canadians do have one complaint that we can’t share. “Canadian politics is so boring,” my friend Susan told me over lunch in a Toronto restaurant. “Yours is much more entertaining.” On Aug. 6, when Canada’s party leaders debated on television, Susan and her husband skipped it — and watched Fox News’ Republican debate instead. “What a show!” she said. For an American, Canada’s way of politics is like a reverse fun house mirror: a glimpse of how our democracy might look if it were normal, without the grotesque distortions of reality show personalities and unlimited donations. The

“

More interesting than the candidates (for Americans, at least) is how Canadians run their democracy: It’s so civilized it’s almost quaint.”

issues are big, the stakes are high, and the outcome matters for Americans too. Harper is running for the fourth time after nine years in office. (No term limits!) But Harper, who cruised to reelection in 2011 after steering Canada through the Great Recession, is facing stiff headwinds this time. He made Alberta’s tar sands oil his favored engine of economic growth, but oil prices have collapsed, sending Canada into a modest recession. He’s got a political scandal on his hands, too. His chief of staff secretly reimbursed the government for $90,000 in illegal expenses racked up by a conservative senator, raising the question of what the prime minister knew and when he knew it. Harper’s toughest challenger was supposed to be Justin Trudeau, the leader of Canada’s Liberal Party, which is actually the country’s centrist party. Trudeau, the glamour boy of Canadian politics, is the son of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who reigned as prime minister for most of the 16 years from 1968 to 1984. The good news: A poll found that he’s the candidate Canadians would most enjoy going on vacation with. The bad news: The same poll found that voters would rather hire Harper to run a large enterprise. Instead, the surprise front-runner is the leader of Canada’s leftish third party, the New Democrats. Tom Mulcair’s campaign has boiled down to two arguments: It’s time for a change, and the NDP is the only party that can credibly deliver that. If Mulcair becomes prime minister after the Oct. 19 election, here’s what that

would mean for Canada-U.S. relations: Mulcair says he’s opposed to the Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry tar sands oil to refineries in Texas. If he canceled the project, that would remove Keystone from the U.S. presidential campaign — a relief for Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has refused to take a position on it. Mulcair would move Canada closer to the U.S. position on climate change; under Harper, Canada has increased its emissions of greenhouse gases. But Mulcair says he’d withdraw Canadian forces from Iraq, where they have joined U.S. forces in the air war against Islamic State. More interesting than the candidates (for Americans, at least) is how Canadians run their democracy: It’s so civilized it’s almost quaint. Canada has campaign finance laws that work: Each donor can give up to $1,500 to a political party and up to $1,500 to a candidate. There are also independent committees, like our “super PACs” — but unlike ours, which can spend an unlimited amount, the Canadian groups must keep to a pitiful $206,000 in advertising expenditures. Another difference: Once a Canadian election is over, the parliamentary system normally guarantees the winner a chance to enact his or her program — since the winner usually has a working majority in Parliament. Divided government and gridlock aren’t built into the system. There’s a lesson here for Americans: Democracy comes in different shapes and sizes. Canadians have shown that free speech can flourish under strict limits on campaign spending — and Harper, whatever his shortcomings, has proved that conservatives can win under spending limits, too. Our version of democracy may be more entertaining. But that’s hardly cause for pride. — Doyle McManus is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times. His email address is doyle. mcmanus@latimes.com.

The lawsuit was filed originally in May 2014 but sealed while the U.S. Department of Justice reviewed the case to determine whether to participate in it. When the Justice Department declined to be involved, the case was unsealed in June 2015, and a summons was issued to the hospital on Wednesday. Collins said that although the Justice Department did not join the case initially, it has reserved the right to intervene at any time. The complaint does not specify an amount that is expected to be recovered. But Duffy could collect 25 to 30 percent of what is recovered for the government if the Justice Department is not involved.

Janice Early, vice president of marketing and communications for LMH, said the hospital was notifying its employees of the lawsuit on Monday. Gene Meyer, president and CEO of the hospital, said in a statement that LMH had not yet been served with the lawsuit, which made it difficult to respond about the specific allegations. “I can categorically deny that LMH has any policies or intention to defraud the government,” Meyer said in the statement. “We do have in place policies to comply with all federal regulations, and we do have in place systems to report fairly and honestly what we do to serve our patients. “We take great pride in the integrity of our organization and strive to meet the highest standards in every area of operation, clinically and financially. I am confident our associates and physicians are committed to those standards which ensure quality and safe care for our patients.” — Assistant Managing Editor Michelle Tevis can be reached at mtevis@ljworld.com or 832-7255.

Wakarusa Drive and the SLT also would be different under the proposed plans. Engineers are hoping it will be significantly safer. Plans call for either an overpass or an underpass that would allow motorists on Wakarusa to access the ball fields without having to cross SLT traffic, which is required today. Motorists who want to exit the SLT and go to the sports complex would do so at a new interchange proposed for a site about a mile east of the current at-grade intersection of Wakarusa and the SLT. A new frontage road would be built that would take motorists to the sports complex and to Wakarusa Drive. l An existing at-grade intersection where Kasold Drive and the SLT intersect would be eliminated. Engineers say the at-grade crossing is a traffic hazard, and there are not enough motorists using the intersection to warrant building a full interchange. KDOT officials will brief city and county commissioners on the proposed SLT options at a 4 p.m. study session today at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. KDOT will continue to gather input from various stakeholders and then will announce its recommendations for the project in mid-to-late October. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday at LJWorld.com.

Duffy was fired from LMH in October 2013 for the “fabricated reason” that she had sent a threatening text to another employee, according to the suit. Duffy claims she was fired because she objected to falsifying arrival times. The Affordable Care Act established a program in which Medicare makes incentive payments to hospitals based on quality of care as measured by performance on several tracked metrics. Duffy’s complaint says that falsely documenting arrival time then meant other times and measures were falsely reported as a result, and that put patients at risk.

Oil prices surged Monday, capping their biggest three-day gain in 25 years, as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries suggested it may be ready to scale back output and the government cut its estimates of U.S. oil production. OPEC said in an article that it “stands ready to talk to all other

producers” to achieve “fair and reasonable prices.” “But this has to be a level playing field,” the cartel added in its monthly OPEC Bulletin. “OPEC will protect its own interests.” Though the article does not spell out how the discussion would go, the focus would clearly be on how to moderate production in a way to drive up prices, which fell below $40 a barrel this month. As word spread that OPEC is ready to deal, oil prices rebounded Monday. U.S. crude prices rose $3.98, almost 9%, to settle at $49.20 a barrel in New York. Prices are up 28% since Thursday. Bloomberg says it was the biggest three-day gain in 25 years. Brent crude, the international

standard, was up $3.61 to $53.60. A sustained rise in oil prices could prop up gas prices, which are expected to fall in coming months as the summer driving season comes to an end and refinery maintenance, which has also limited supplies, wraps up. Independent oil analyst Philip Verleger says the article doesn’t reflect Saudi Arabia’s plans to pump oil at full throttle. The country, he says, can make a profit as long as oil is above its costs of $3 to $5 a barrel, and it is intent on driving some producers — in Canada, Venezuela or the USA — out of business. “OPEC is irrelevant,” he says. A bigger factor in the price jump, he says, is that the Energy

Walk on the wild side: Obama tapped for NBC show Kelly Lawler USA TODAY

President Obama is about to get a little wild. Obama will appear on a special episode of the NBC outdoor adventure show Running Wild With Bear Grylls, the network announced Monday. The president and the host will be trekking through the Alaskan wilderness. The episode, to be taped, will air on NBC later this year. It will highlight the effects of climate change in that area. “I will not deny your suspicion that there may have been some suggestions put forward by the Bear Grylls team that were not

Now in its second season, Running Wild follows wilderness and survival expert Grylls as he takes celebrities – who have included Kate Winslet, Kate Hudson, Zac Efron and Channing Tatum – on journeys through the wilderness and teaches them survival skills. Grylls is a survival expert and former member of the British Special Forces, who formerly hosted the Discovery Channel show Man vs. Wild.

WASHINGTON When it comes to getting around Congress, President Obama may not be able to move mountains — but he can rename them. The Obama administration’s decision to rename North America’s tallest peak to its original native name of Denali is drawing protests from Republican lawmakers in Ohio. That’s because the mountain’s previous namesake, President William McKinley, was also a Republican from Ohio. “This decision by the administration is yet another example of the president going around Congress,” Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said, noting

Information Administration trimmed its estimate of U.S. production from January to May by 40,000 to 130,000 barrels per day. It cut its estimate of June output by 100,000 barrels a day. “We’re producing a lot less oil than we thought we were,” Verleger says. After peaking at 9.5 million barrels a day in April, research firm Genscape says, U.S. output is poised to fall to 8.6 million barrels per day by July 2016. Tom Kloza, chief global analyst at the Oil Price Information Service, says Monday’s gains were probably driven in part by traders looking to hedge their previous bets on falling prices. “This does not mean this is a new bull market for oil,” he says.

ROCK CITY, NEV. A young woman stepped into the dusty glare of my headlights, and I realized she was topless. And pants-less. The only thing she was wearing was a playing card strapped on by a clear rubber band around her waist. And a giant smile. “Welcome home!” she said. “Is this your first time?” Yes. Yes, it is. I’m spending the week embedded in the annual Burning Man festival, reporting on the newest tech trends, the dust storms and the luxury camps that drew criticism last year. The temporary city we’ve created is called Black Rock City, and for this week it will be the thirdlargest place in Nevada. First-timers like me are pulled from their vehicles to celebrate. In my case, the young woman ordered me to remove my shirt and make dust angels as lights flashed and music drifted on the wind. I banged a bell as my greeters yelled “not a virgin” to mark my transition in the encampment.

But norms are reserved for the outside world, the Default World. Here, creativity is everywhere. Elaborate sculptures reach toward the sky. Others blast flames. Endless electronic dance music pumps across the encampment as neon-lit vehicles circle. Strangers hug you without warning. And the outfits. The outfits!

The last thing Burning Man

organizers want is to see participants’ images used to sell stuff. And although it took me a whole day to notice, now I can’t stop marveling at the complete lack of stuff being sold or marketed. Corporate logos on rental trucks are usually covered up or altered, and there’s no one hawking, well, anything. It’s a welcome relief from the constant pressure of consumerism we face every day. Gone are the messages to buy buy buy. Instead, we’re asked to simply be. (There’s no official Internet provider, and mobile phone coverage is iffy.) Don’t get me wrong. Virtually everyone has spent a lot of money to be here, and spending a week requires lots of logistics. I watched as participants stocked up on cheap plastic junk in Reno, pouring millions of dollars into that city’s economy while allowing Burning Man to maintain its reputation as the world’s largest Leave No Trace event. Here, the entire economy is based on the concept of gifting. People give you things out of the kindness of their hearts, with “gifts” ranging from the sculptures to free booze and Tantric massages.

Dissecting Iran deal, Obama’s deeds Former vice president Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz double-team criticism of the current administration through the lens of the upcoming 9/11 anniversary, election

Now, Cheney says, the United States should be prepared to “do what you have to do” to defeat ISIL, an acronym for the Islamic State. Including a significant deployment of American ground troops? “If that’s what it takes.” He says Americans are mistaken in recalibrating their views of steps taken in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks 14 years ago, including increased skepticism about the aggressive interrogation of detainees and the surveillance of Americans’ phone communications. “Now is the threat any less today than it was then? I don’t think so,” he says, citing the rise of ISIL and nuclear proliferation

Susan Page @SusanPage USA TODAY

MCLEAN, VA .

With the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks next week, Dick Cheney argues that the United States is in a more perilous position now than it was when terrorists struck New York and Washington in 2001 — and he places the blame squarely on President Obama and his leadership. He is particularly scornful of the Iran nuclear deal that Obama sees as the most significant foreign-policy achievement of his tenure. “A cooked-up deal,” Cheney scoffs in an interview with USA TODAY at his home in suburban Virginia, about 10 miles from the White House. “A travesty.” He does not feel constrained by the unwritten tradition that presidential administrations avoid criticizing the administrations that succeed them. In a 324-page broadside being published by Simon & Schuster on Tuesday, the former vice president and his daughter, Liz Cheney, blast Obama for pursuing policies they view as a retreat from decades of bipartisan global leadership by American presidents. In Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America, the authors liken the Iran deal to the infamous Munich agreement in 1938 that sought to appease Adolf Hitler as the world headed toward war. They make no apologies for a comparison some will find outrageous. “It’s completely justified,” declares Liz Cheney, a former deputy assistant of State in the George W. Bush administration. Then there’s 2016, an election the Cheneys argue ought to focus on the need to rebuild the nation’s military strength. Despite his long-standing ties to the Bush family — he served the elder president Bush as Defense secretary, the younger president Bush as vice president — Dick Cheney says he’s not ready to endorse Jeb Bush, at least not yet. “Jeb’s a good man; I thought he was a good governor of Florida,” Cheney says. Even so, “he’s got to go out and earn it, the same as anybody else does.” At age 74, and three years after a heart transplant gave him a new lease on life, Cheney isn’t given to self-doubt or worried about mak-

JACK GRUBER, USA TODAY

Former State Department official Liz Cheney and her father, former vice president Dick Cheney, have a book out Tuesday. ing friends. It’s hard to think of another such senior official in modern times — one who has served in the leadership of Congress, the Cabinet and the White House — who has issued such harsh and public judgments on a president who followed his time in office. That has helped make him a hero to hawks, a target of latenight comics, a foil for Democrats and a controversial figure held at arm’s length by his party’s current field of presidential contenders. While the candidates agree with him in opposing the Iran deal and criticizing Obama as a weak leader, they are more likely to cite Ronald Reagan as a role model. Several candidates have said that, knowing what we know now, they wouldn’t have supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq that Cheney championed then. And still does. Cheney flatly dismisses the analysis that the invasion of Iraq and the toppling of Saddam Hussein opened the door to turmoil in Iraq and the region and, ultimately, the rise of the terrorist group called the Islamic State.

SIMON & SCHUSTER

“I don’t believe it,” he says. “We had Iraq in good shape until he (Obama) withdrew all the forces and refused to leave a stay-behind force that would have been able to support the Iraqis.” The White House blames the Iraqi government for refusing to sign an agreement that would have permitted a residual U.S. force to remain.

in the Middle East. “We’re foolish to be stripping ourselves of the capabilities we need in order to protect ourselves against a future attack.” The two were interviewed Saturday at Dick Cheney’s elegant home in McLean, Va. His dog, Nelson, pads underfoot. Liz Cheney, now 49, challenged Sen. Mike Enzi for the Republican nomination in Wyoming in 2013, then withdrew from the race for family reasons. “At some point,” she says, she might consider another political bid of her own. She has inherited her father’s hard-line outlook on the world. Without endorsing any particular Republican presidential contender, she calls it “a great field” with “many possibilities of qualified people.” And her assessment of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton is as harsh as the one she gives Obama. She cites the 2012 Benghazi attack in Libya that left four Americans dead. “There are still significant questions to be answered about what happened,” Liz Cheney says, “and I think it raises significant questions about her fitness to serve and to lead.” Dick Cheney raises the controversy over Clinton’s decision to use exclusively a private email server when she was secretary of State, calling it a “deadly serious” security breach. It didn’t take long for Cheney to decide to take his objections to Obama’s policies public. “I had had enough” just four months into his first term, he writes, when the new president decided

to release Justice Department memos describing what Cheney calls “enhanced interrogation” of detainees and Obama calls “torture.” “There’s sort of an agreement among former presidents not to criticize” their successors, Cheney acknowledges. “Certainly that’s what George Bush 41 always followed that precept, and I think his son has done the same thing, and that’s fine. That’s their call. I’m not bound by any such precept.” Any qualms about doing so? “My qualms are about what he’s doing,” he replies. At the moment, his greatest qualm may be the nuclear deal struck with Iran by the U.S. and five international partners. Congress faces a Sept. 17 deadline to pass a resolution of disapproval, which the president has vowed to veto. Obama is on the verge of claiming the 34 Democratic senators needed to sustain his veto, and it’s possible he can command enough support to mount a filibuster that would prevent a Senate vote altogether. The Cheneys aren’t ready to accept that. “I don’t think he should count his chickens,” Liz Cheney says. Dick Cheney warns, “I think members that vote for it will regret it, long term. I think they’ll look back on that as one of the worst votes they ever cast.” Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

1 dead, 100 injured in Ukraine clashes Prime minister says nationalist protesters are worse than rebels Oren Dorell USA TODAY

One Ukrainian national guard member was killed by a grenade and 100 people were injured Monday as nationalists protested a parliamentary vote to grant autonomy to areas held by Russianbacked separatists. The escalation in violence took place as the parliament in Kiev approved a draft constitutional amendment proposed by President Petro Poroshenko. His decentralization plan would give more power to the eastern Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, which are held by the separatists. In a televised address, Poroshenko called the bill “a difficult but

a logical step toward peace,” and he insisted it wouldn’t give any autonomy to the rebels, the Associated Press reported. He described the clashes outside parliament as an attack on him and pledged to prosecute “all political leaders” behind the violence. Ten injured police officers were in serious condition. There were no reports of serious injuries among the protesters. Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk called for life imprisonment for the person who threw the grenade and said the protesters were worse than the separatist rebels because they are destroying the country from within “under the guise of patriotism,” the AP said. The nationalist Svoboda party that led Monday’s unrest blamed the government, saying it “provoked Ukrainians to protest” by presenting a bill tantamount to “capitulation to the Kremlin.” The legislation, if approved,

The amendment would permit Ukraine’s president to overrule local authorities to protect national sovereignty.

Critics of the plan, including the far-right Svoboda and Right Sector parties, say the bill would give too much power to the separatists waging war against Ukrainian security forces. “This is not a road to peace and

Authorities inspect trucks in crackdown on human trafficking Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

Austria, Germany and Hungary tightened their border checks Monday in new operations aimed at cracking down on human traffickers after 71 people died in a food truck near Vienna last week. The development comes as European authorities scrambled to find solutions to an unprecedented migration crisis that is claiming lives on land and sea. Austria increased inspections of trucks at its border with Hungary, creating an 18.5-mile traffic jam on the main Budapest-Vienna highway, traffic firm Utinform said. Austria and Hungary are both part of the European Union’s Schengen zone of passport-free travel. Schengen-zone vehicles are rarely inspected at the border. BERLIN

GEORG HOCHMUTH, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Protesters hold a banner that says “Right to asylum is a human right” Monday during a rally for refugee rights in Vienna. More than 70 migrants died in a truck near Vienna last week. Germany also introduced traffic checks on its highways near the border with Austria. And in Budapest, Hungarian authorities stepped up inspections of trains bound for other destinations in central Europe. Authorities in Vienna said the crackdown already was yielding

some results. “In the hours since we started implementing these measures that we agreed with Germany, Hungary and Slovakia, we have been able to get more than 200 refugees out of such vehicles and we have been able to detain five smugglers,” Konrad Kogler, Aus-

tria’s director general for public security, said at a news conference Monday. Austria’s Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner said the checks did not violate the Schengen-zone agreement because the checks were specifically targeted at finding smugglers and therefore did not resemble “classic” border checks. Five suspected human traffickers have been detained in connection with the deaths in the back of a food truck on a highway near Austria’s capital. European leaders announced over the weekend they would hold a summit on Sept. 14 in Brussels to try to devise a strategy for dealing with the crisis. Central European leaders may meet earlier than that, possibly at the end of this week. Tens of thousands of people have fled Syria, Iraq, Serbia and other nations this year to pursue asylum in the EU. Many are fleeing war and persecution, while others are on the move amid severe economic hardship and few opportunities.

IN BRIEF STATE DEPT. RELEASES NEW BATCH OF CLINTON EMAIL

The State Department released another round of emails from Hillary Clinton’s server on Monday night — this time, approximately 7,000 pages, or 4,368 emails, the largest batch made public to date. The latest release included “around 150” emails that have been classified since Clinton originally received or sent them, said Mark Toner, a department spokesman, according to news reports. The sensitive information in those messages will be redacted. Toner added, however, that none of the emails reviewed had been designated classified at the time. Clinton’s use of a private email account and server at her home during her tenure as secretary of State from 2009 to 2013 has sparked criticism. . — Cooper Allen SUSPECT IN KILLING OF TEXAS DEPUTY ARRAIGNED

not a road to decentralization,” said former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, the leader of another party that opposes the measure. “This is the diametrically opposite process, which will lead to the loss of new territories.” Supporters argue that Donetsk and Luhansk will benefit from the decentralization of power, which was a condition of the Minsk agreement in February that formally ended major combat between Ukraine’s military and the separatists. Despite evidence of Russian weapons and military troops fighting alongside the self-described rebels, Russia has consistently denied any involvement. More than 6,800 people have died in the Ukraine conflict.

The tropics are heating up as the typical peak of hurricane season begins. Three hurricanes roared Monday in the Pacific Ocean. A fourth hurricane churned far out in the Atlantic. It’s the most powerful hurricane season in the central Pacific since 1994, according to Colorado State University hurricane expert Phil Klotzbach. Late August and early September are the typical peak of hurricane season. None of these storms is forecast to strike the USA. All three Pacific hurricanes reached Category 4 strength Sunday — something that’s never been seen before, the National Hurricane Center said. Hurricane Ignacio weakened Monday to a Category 2 storm with winds of 105 mph. It’s likely to pass northeast of Hawaii

through Wednesday, the National Weather Service said. It was located Monday 460 miles east of Honolulu, moving to the northwest at 10 mph. Massive 12-20-feet waves could crash against the northeastern shores of the islands, possibly damaging coastal homes and roads. Away from the shore, periods of breezy, wet weather are likely, and heavy rain is possible as the storm passes. Forecasters said the storm should become a Category 1 hurricane by Tuesday and weaken into a tropical storm by midweek as it encounters southwesterly winds. Hurricane warnings are in effect for the waters around Hawaii, but none for land areas. The other two hurricanes in the Pacific, Kilo and Jimena, are still Category 4 storms with winds of at least 130 mph, but they are not forecast to hit land. The hurricanes are fueled by El Niño, a periodic natural warming of water in the central Pacific. “An El Niño year usually means above-average activity in the Pacific, and this year is no exception,” hurricane center spokesman Dennis Feltgen said. In the Atlantic, Hurricane Fred pounded the Cape Verde Islands with wind and rain Monday, the hurricane center said. The Cape Verde islands are an independent nation a few hundred miles west of the coast of Africa.

Tepid turnout for secession rally Andrew J. Yawn

Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser MONTGOMERY If support for the secession of Alabama from the United States can be measured in rally attendance, it’s safe to assume Alabama won’t be seceding any time soon. More than 300 people were expected at the Alabama Flaggers Secession Rally, according to group co-director Freda Mincey-Burton and the event’s Facebook page. On the steps of the Capitol on Saturday, attendance peaked at 30 people — including event organizers — and rain showers after the first hour of the event sealed it as a failure. The five-hour rally ended after about two hours. “This is really shocking me that these people aren’t here,” Mincey-Burton said. The rally was originally scheduled for Friday. According to the event’s Facebook page, it was rescheduled to Saturday to improve attendance. Gaining state majority in favor of separating from the country is one of the biggest requirements for a successful secession. After seeing the turnout for Saturday’s event, Alabama Flaggers co-director Justin Burton acknowledged the difficulty of getting so many people behind his cause. “Getting the majority is the

She said the push for secession stems from the country “treading on” Southern heritage in the wake of the Charleston shooting and subsequent removal of the Confederate flag from the public eye.

“Still-elevated volatility levels could keep some traders up at night as they try to figure out what comes next.” Randy Frederick, managing director of trading and derivatives at the Schwab Center for Financial Research

market began in March 2009. When its two-day meeting ends Sept. 18, the Fed could hike shortterm interest rates for the first time since 2006 — a “liftoff” date that now is at the heart of a heated will-they-or-won’t-they debate on Wall Street. Low rates have been a key propellant of rising stock prices since the market low some 61⁄2 years ago, a period in which the U.S. stock market more than tripled in value despite one of the slowest post-recession recoveries ever. This September also comes on the heels of Wall Street’s most volatile period since the 2008 financial crisis, with the Dow recently suffering a weekly drop of more than 1,000 points, an even scarier brief drop of almost 1,100 points on Aug. 24, and then a nearly 1,000-point two-day rebound late last week. When the calendar turns from August to September, it also doesn’t close the chapter on China’s current economic and stock market woes. Beijing is still trying to soften the fall of what amounts to a stock market crash in mainland China and an economy that is slowing at a faster pace than global investors initially envisioned. September comes amid warnings from Wall Street pros that the turbulence in markets may have not have fully run its course, and that more tough days of losses and wild market swings are still to come. While market turbulence and drops of 10% or more can create opportunities, investors should not let their guard down, says Randy Frederick, managing director of trading and derivatives at the Schwab Center for Financial Research. “The market we have today, following our first correction in 46 months, is not a market for investors with a low risk tolerance,” says Frederick. “Still-elevated volatility levels could keep some traders up at night as they try to figure out what comes next. ... There is little doubt that we could still see some big moves in both directions.”

It has been a bad month for stocks — capping off what has been a potentially devastating year for investors picking the wrong stocks. Investors with the impossibly bad luck of buying the worst stock in the Standard & Poor’s 500 each month this year — including disappointing August — would have suffered a brutal cumulative loss of 91%. That string would have turned an initial investment of $10,000 into just $857 in eight months. Compare that with investors who simply bought the S&P 500, for whom the year-to-date loss would be just 4.2%. Not great, but hardly a crisis.

To be clear, the odds of an investor buying the worst stock each month this year would be extremely small. This analysis underscores that even investors who aren’t necessarily timing the market — but picking individual stocks — are in some ways speculators, too. Concerns about economic growth in China and valuations of U.S. stocks caused markets to have a rough August. The S&P 500 lost 6.3% of its value. But that decline masks what was a pretty ugly market for investors who picked the wrong individual stocks. The worst stock in the S&P 500 during August was Mallinckrodt, a pharmaceutical company. Shares dropped 30.4%, pushing the stock down 13% this year. It’s the stock’s third monthly loss this year of 9% or more. Following Mallinckrodt was media company Viacom. Shares lost 29% of their value and are down 46% this year. Viacom is expected to post 1.1% adjusted earnings growth this year. And talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wynn Resorts has focused on building gambling facilities in Asia. With the Chinese economy slowing, shares dropped 27% in August and are down nearly 50% this year.

Down but hardly out: Apple starts a new phase Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO New iPhones are on the way, and the sun shall rise again for Apple. Mark Sept. 9 on your calendars as another unofficial Apple Day in America. That’s the expected launch date for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, which might sell as fast as Taylor Swift CDs and garner as much press as the pop diva. The marketing magicians at Apple are hoping for a jolt of positive vibes after a summer of malaise that thumped its stock and raised questions about smartphone sales in key regions like China.

Such is the sentiment whenever the company unfurls its latest and greatest gadgets. It’s part of the narrative that invigorates the fan base and confounds non-believers. But expect those conflicting reactions next week, when the new phones and a revamped Apple TV are unfurled here. Apple faces yet another seminal moment in its storied 39-year history — about 20% of its stock price (AAPL) was shaved in recent weeks, torching $155 billion in paper wealth held by investors. The thumping underscores concerns about Apple’s financial fate in China and elsewhere. “It’s a critical event for Apple to help turn the negative insvestor tide and lay out its growth vision for the next year, based on iPhone 6s sales,” says Daniel Ives, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets. “This is one of (Apple CEO

Tim) Cook’s biggest moments.” Ives says Apple is in the grips of a “white knuckle period” that could prove to be a seminal mo-

ment for it to regain investor confidence. “The iPhone 6 was the LeBron James of smartphones — a once-every-five-years moment.” The smartphone market in the second quarter logged its slowest growth since 2013, according to Gartner. Saturation, already an issue in the U.S. and Europe, is seeping into China, the biggest country for sales, where buyers are opting for replacement units instead of first-time purchases. Chinese companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi are eating into Apple’s and Samsung’s share with the growing popularity of budget smartphones, prompting Apple, Samsung and others to look to India, South America and elsewhere. Apple has made steady financial headway in the world’s mostpopulous country. It struck a deal in 2013 with China Mobile, the

largest phone carrier on the planet, to sell iPhones, and Apple intends to increase its number of stores to 40 there by mid-2016. The region holds a key to the company’s future, especially with some analysts unconvinced Apple can maintain its overall torrid pace of growth. But before we predict the ignominious decline of Apple, consider another part of the company’s long-running narrative: It rises like a phoenix when things are seemingly about to unravel. This is the same company, after all, that welcomed Steve Jobs back in 1996, just in time to save it from the disastrous Gil Amelio era. “With Apple, you never, ever know,” says Brian Blau, lead Apple analyst at Gartner. Time for another chapter in Apple’s storied history. Expect a thrill ride.

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

The clock is ticking. Wall Street is 17 days away from what could be the first interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve in almost 10 years. But before the nation’s central bank pulls the trigger on its first rate increase since 2006 it will monitor incoming U.S. economic data to see if it continues to come in strong, despite the recent global growth scare inspired by China’s stock swoon and currency devaluation. Fed talking heads have said it’s too early to say what their decision will be, adding that it’s still all about the data. Tuesday kicks off a busy week of incoming economic reports. Wall Street will get a look at July construction spending and Au-

Starting Wednesday investors will get the first of a trio of reports on employment, culminating with the August jobs report set for release Friday. But first comes Wednesday’s read on new jobs created in August by private employers issued by payroll processor ADP. Data on July factory orders is also forthcoming Wednesday, as is the final secondquarter results for worker productivity. Thursday brings the latest weekly reading on the number of Americans lining up for unemployment benefits. Then comes the biggie — the key August employment report — on Friday. If the labor data come in strong, Wall Street will probably start pricing in a Fed rate hike in September, causing potential market turbulence.

Price of crude during recovery is top wild card Q: Can I profit from the oil rebound, too? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Oil company stocks have been crushed along with the price of the commodity. Some investors are trying to grab some deals in the mess. Famed investor Warren Buffett is the latest investor trying to find a bottom in oil company stocks for a big gain. Buffett revealed late last week he took a roughly 11% stake in Phillips 66. Phillips 66 is a Houston-based energy company that produces oil and natural gas. Shares of Phillips 66 are down 8.7% over the past year — a poor showing relative to the Standard & Poor’s 500, which is down 1.4% during the same time. Some investors might mimic Buffett’s move. Shares of Phillips 66 closed at $79.07 Monday. Analysts forecast shares of Phillips will be worth $93.33 each in 18 months, which would be 18% higher than they are now. Much hinges on the direction of the price of oil — which is a big wild card. Investors looking to bet on the oilcompany recovery, without picking individual stocks, have options. Vanguard, for instance, has the Vanguard Energy exchange-traded fund (VDE), which owns stakes in roughly 100 energy stocks including the biggest players such as Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and yes, Phillips 66. This investment will expose you to an oil recovery but reduce company-specific risks.

New delay in case against former SAC exec Steven Cohen Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

The recent Department of Justice decision to seek Supreme Court review of a precedent-setting ruling on insider trading has prompted a new delay in a related case against former SAC hedge fund executive Steven Cohen. The Securities and Exchange Commission administrative proceeding against Cohen, a billionaire trading executive often ranked by Forbes magazine as one of the world’s richest individuals,

The SEC proceeding against billionaire Steven Cohen has been stayed until Nov. 30.

has been stayed until Nov. 30, an SEC order filed Friday said. In a move led by the U.S. Solicitor General’s office, federal prose-

cutors in July asked the nation’s top court to review a December ruling that, if left unchallenged, would narrow the definition of insider trading — financial transactions based on information not available to the investing public. That ruling came from the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which overturned the 2012 insider-trading convictions of two hedge fund executives: Diamondback portfolio manager Todd Newman and Level Global cofounder Anthony Chiasson. The midlevel court ruled that federal prosecutors must show proof of “a meaningfully close

personal relationship” between the person who leaked inside information and the recipient who traded on the information. The decision also said prosecutors must also prove the leaker acted in pursuit of potential gain and show the recipient had to know about that benefit. The decision conflicts with an earlier Supreme Court ruling, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. argued. Attorneys for Newman and Chiasson opposed the Department of Justice position in responses filed last week. Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara’s office, which prosecut-

ed Newman and Chiasson, separately asked the SEC last week to delay the start of the financial regulator’s case against Cohen. Brenda Murray, the SEC’s chief administrative law judge, agreed. The SEC action accuses Cohen of failing to supervise former SAC Capital portfolio managers Mathew Martoma and Michael Steinberg. They were convicted in insider-trading prosecutions and are pursuing appeals. SAC Capital agreed to a record $1.8 billion insider-trading settlement with the government. It was transformed into a so-called family office that manages Cohen’s fortune.

Nick Nolte and Robert Redford bond in the great outdoors, hiking the Appalachian Trail in A Walk in the Woods. Andrea Mandell @AndreaMandell USA TODAY

SANTA MONICA , CALIF. Try the word ‘bromance’ on Robert Redford and enjoy the results. “I don’t like (it),” he says with that trademark grin, poolside on a sunny day. “I think it’s cheap. There’s a tendency to abbreviate things to be hip.” But his new movie, A Walk in the Woods (in theaters Wednesday), is a bromance — well, sort of. The adaptation of Bill Bryson’s hiking journey, filled with retirement qualms and revived friendship, ascends to the screen with Nick Nolte as the grizzled sidekick. “It was the first time I’ve ever laughed out loud reading a book,” says Redford, 79, who read Bryson’s best-selling 1998 travelogue a decade ago. “It make me really look hard at it.” Bears and male-bonding collide in the tale. “People don’t real-

ize how funny Bob is,” says director Ken Kwapis (He’s Just Not That Into You). “You have to go way back in his filmography to find Bob doing an out-and-out comedic role. Certainly, characters like the Sundance Kid have a lot of humor. But it’s very refreshing to see Bob play a lighter role.” Sundance and Butch Cassidy had been looking for a third act for years (in 1973, they co-starred in their second film, The Sting), and a decade ago, Redford optioned A Walk in the Woods to be just that. “Paul (Newman) and I had been looking for a third film. Couldn’t find it,” he says. But it wasn’t the right time or the right project. Newman pointed out that it had been more than 30 years since they had done their last movie together. The 11year age difference between the two would be more pronounced. “I hadn’t been thinking about that,” Redford says. Plus, Newman’s health was in decline. Newman died in 2008; his last

major screen appearance was in 2002’s Road to Perdition with Tom Hanks. Enter Nick Nolte.

“People don’t realize how funny Bob is ... it’s very refreshing to see Bob play a lighter role.” Director Ken Kwapis

“Hidden underneath the eccentric behavior is a very smart guy,” says Redford, who directed Nolte in 2012’s The Company You Keep. “And he’s a good actor. “When I was younger, I was more aligned with him” and his notorious antics, Redford says. But thanks to marriage and kids, “I got my act together,” he grins. The film shot for seven weeks, with the woods outside Atlanta standing in for the Appalachian Trail. “Let’s put it this way: Bob was in a little better shape than Nick,”

ing up a steep incline.” True to form, Nolte had a knee replacement after the shoot. In real life, Redford has found looking back to be challenging. “To be honest with you, I’m not good at reigniting friendships,” Redford says. “Moving on and moving forward and trying new things and taking new risks was so exciting to me that I never thought about those (relationships).” “I’ve been at fault with that. I have to correct that now, before it’s too late.”

Syfy is bringing an iconic alien invasion to TV screens in December, one that’s eerie without starship battles or the destruction of national landmarks. When the Overlords arrive in the three-night, six-hour miniseries Childhood’s End (premiering Dec. 14), they’re a benevolent force from outer space seeking to turn Earth into a Utopia. But once their endgame is revealed, star Daisy Betts says, “it’s not necessarily a happy ending.” End is based on the 1953 Arthur C. Clarke novel, a precursor to sci-fi staples such as Independence Day and V, says Syfy president Dave Howe. “It’s probably the most influential and important science-fiction novel, period. It’s the granddaddy of them all.” The story and themes hew closely to the novel, says executive producer Matthew Graham. One day, the Overlords come down from above, and the voice

NARELLE PORTANIER, SYFY

Ellie (Daisy Betts) and Ricky (Mike Vogel) are a married couple whose lives are upended when the alien Overlords arrive. of Karellen (Charles Dance) announces his role as a “supervisor” to get Earth ready for a new Golden Age. Some residents welcome their new alien Overlords, while others resist the occupation. The TV version focuses on Ricky Stormgren (Mike Vogel, Under the Dome), a Missouri

farmer who’s handpicked by Karellen as a go-between tasked with bringing the Overlords’ messages to his fellow earthlings. “When faced with the opportunity of a Utopia and the opportunity of what could be an easy existence, he chooses more of a hard road,” Vogel says. Ricky be-

gins to enjoy the fame of his new gig as the “Blue Collar Prophet,” but it takes a toll on his marriage to Ellie (Betts). Other characters show different sides of this new society. Peretta Jones (Yael Stone, Orange Is the New Black) clings to her faith and wants real answers about Karellen. Milo Rodricks (Osy Ikhile) is a former boy genius whose curiosity hits a fever pitch when the Overlords’ crafts descend upon cities. And Rachel Osaka (Charlotte Nicdao) is indifferent about Karellen’s presence, though her boss, wealthy philanthropist Rupert Boyce (Julian McMahon), is more than a little intrigued. In a sense, Ricky and Ellie are powerless, and for Graham, that factors into the main theme of the miniseries: that the universe runs in a particular way, whether we like it or not. As for the Overlords, “you can perceive what they do as good or evil, but that would be like calling cancer evil, (when) it’s just a thing that exists. And death isn’t evil; it’s just a part of how creation works.”

MEDICAL EXPERTS HAVE STARTED CALLING THE HEALTH CONSEQUENCES FROM LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY “SITTING DISEASE.” These consequences can include increased risk for disability, several cancers and Type 2 diabetes. Lack of activity can also lead to increased stress.

Stand up and move to prevent ‘sitting disease’ By Aynsley Anderson Lawrence Memorial Hospital

ver heard of “sitting disease”? Medical experts have started to refer to long periods of physical inactivity, being sedentary and their related health consequences as “sitting disease.” Mayo Clinic experts have even been quoted as saying “sitting is the new smoking” when it comes to serious health consequences. Sitting for extended lengths of time on a daily basis has been linked to many negative health conditions, including:

l Increased risk of death from cardiovascular diseases l Increased risk of disability, several cancers and Type 2 diabetes l Higher rate of metabolic syndrome (high cholesterol and glucose, hypertension, obesity, excess belly fat) l Increased stress, anxiety and depression Several studies have confirmed the negative health effects of prolonged sitting. A study published in the British

Journal of Sports Medicine found that those who sat as little as four hours a day had an increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and death. Another study in the Archives of Internal Medicine reported that those who sat between eight and 11 hours a day had a 15 percent increase in mortality rate over those who sat less than four hours a day. There are several possible reasons for this. People who sit the most are more likely to be overweight or obese and therefore at higher risk for obesity-related chronic diseases. Over the last few decades, there has been an increase in time at work and for

leisure pursuits that Americans spend in front of screens, such as computers, televisions, video games and phones. Much of this screen time is sitting time. Many of us are engaging in less physical activity during the day, both at work and for recreation. So what can you do if your job requires you to sit a lot? Here are some tips for at work and at home: l Reduce sitting time by breaking it up. Try to get up every 20 to 30 minutes if you can. Set reminders to stand, stretch and even walk around.

Brothers, sisters torment, but with love

big brother wonders: What are little sisters for? I’ve watched it almost three years now, as our son Ray trades barbs and blows with our daughter Zia, who has never been shy or gentle while jostling for slops from the household trough of love. Little sisters grab all your stuff, bust up your games, scrunch up your Special to the Journal-World artwork. Once, it was always your turn.

toes hardly bite him, let alone his little sister. My son uses this strategy to best effect at the table, where he bolts for his bread and flees before his sister has begun. She meanders through her meals at a Continental pace. But then again, she is buckled in. So Ray streaks, comet-like, past Zia in her high chair, and I observe these heavenly bodies from behind the dome of my own observatory; it’s no Palomar, but I milk my morning

From here I see my kids defy Newton’s laws as well as my own, when the unquantifiable force of sheer curiosity halts Ray, an object in motion if ever there was one, in mid-orbit. A big brother is always on his way somewhere, but that place rarely holds more interest than just what exactly his little sister is up to. One day, Zia had finished her breakfast

and was playing with the small spray bottle full of water I use to detangle her prodigious bedhead, having been advised by Grandma that my parenting skills would largely be judged on how tangled her hair appeared in public. In the process of Zia’s investigations, she turned the spray bottle on herself and received an unexpected, point-blank misting, after the cold shock of Please see SIBLINGS, page 2C

Wes: I stared blankly at the Associated Press headline: “Kansas teens less likely to be vaccinated against HPV.” Given how things have gone lately around here, I wasn’t terribly surprised as I clicked up the Aug. 3 story on my iPhone. It claimed that only 12 percent of Kansas teens had received all three doses of either Gardasil or Cervarix, the two human papillomavirus vaccines currently available. That’s one of the two lowest rates in the country. Not only was that horrifying, it didn’t make any sense. Few teen girls I know have skipped the vaccine. I thought it had become a non-issue. Unfortunately for the story authors, but fortunately for Kansans, “12 percent” has no basis in reality — at least none that I could find. That same day, the Topeka Capital-Journal claimed the number to be 21 percent male and female combined, which is close to the CDC’s number of 25 percent for girls and 20 percent for boys. However, the Kansas Foundation for Medical Care (KFMC) cites the CDC in claiming low vaccination rates — just 8.6 percent of boys and 17.2 percent of girls in Kansas. This makes one feel like screaming, “Lies, damned lies, and statistics,” because unlike mid-2015 presidential polls, these numbers really matter. Regardless of which number you believe, the majority of Kansas parents apparently aren’t getting the message, despite our lively 11-year dialogue in Double Take about teen sexuality. So let me state it again. Self-report surveys — you know, the ones where teens tend to Please see HPV, page 2C

with any vaccine, minor complications could follow, but the odds are very low. Gardasil has been approved since 2006. It passed a gauntlet of tests before the FDA released it to consumers. A Danish study of nearly a million girls concluded that Gardasil “showed no consistent evidence for a plausible association” with life-threatening diseases compared to no vaccination. If you’re among the majority of Kansans who aren’t vaccinating their children, you’re playing the odds. For all the tips that are out there to help prevent cancer, vaccination is the only proven way to reduce the risk of the

I think this is beyond crazy. He could hit, maim or kill someone, or drive off the road and hurt himself. Am I wrong to think this is extremely dangerous? Should I say something? — Scared Aunt Dear Scared: Every state has different rules for when a child is allowed to operate a vehicle, depending on the child’s age, the type of vehicle and whether or not a responsible adult is present.

PBS series gushes over a queen Over the next two weeks, PBS will present two documentaries in the series “In Their Own Words” (8 p.m.) using subjects’ own public speeches, interviews, writings and private musings to frame their profiles. As you might expect, these are fairly positive spins. ‘‘Words” begins with the public life of the United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth II, whose sixdecade reign has come to equal that of Queen Victoria. The gushing Anglophilia of the proceedings begins almost immediately when a royal expert informs us: “If you haven’t got a queen, you make do with film stars and pop stars, but if you have a queen, it’s obviously so much better.” Listening to such condescending twaddle from an obsequious twit, I so wished Christopher Hitchens were still alive. Nobody so enjoyed thrashing royal worshipers as much as the late, hard-drinking, chainsmoking essayist. He died in 2011, still writing and raging against the inanity of those who scuttled after the sceptered set. Right off the bat, “Words” seeks to link Elizabeth to six centuries of British royals, dating back to medieval times. Really? The British people were all too aware that her family was imported German royalty. So aware, that it took the wise public relations move of changing its name to the House of Windsor during World War I. A family cousin, the German kaiser, used to taunt the Windsors for their ruse, joking that he was off to the theater to see Shakespeare’s play, “The Merry Wives of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.” Britons with a sense of humor and a sense of history needed no reminding of the origins of these most “British” royals. Author Anthony Burgess (“A Clockwork Orange”) used to revel in mocking the “sausageeating usurpers” on the throne, reminding his readers that the royal family had been German since George I, a guy who didn’t even bother to learn to speak English. Next week: Muhammad Ali.

Athletes driven Self is by hearts confident of Lions of Diallo’s eligibility

When last we spoke, indomitable Abby Vestal, one of my all-time favorite athletes, was busy making arrangements before heading out of town to chase a dream. She found someone (her brother) to live in her Lawrence house and care for her dog, someone (a former Kansas University’s club rugby teammate) to watch her pet snake and someone else (another KU rugby teammate) to watch her pet rat. She was and still is busy trying to find sponsors to help her and her parents defray the costs pursuing her dream. She was preparing to put her life on hold to challenge long odds. In other words, she had the world right where she wanted it. She was in her wheelhouse. Tell Abby Vestal she can’t do something, and watch the Tasmanian devil of a competitor buck the odds and do it. Back in her days at Lawrence High, that meant, tell her she can’t play on the football team because it’s a boys sport. Then watch her become the team’s kicker. Ditto for professional football, where she became a kicker for an arena team that never did pay her. On June 11, Vestal put her life on hold to move to Little Rock, Arkansas, site of the American Rugby Pro Training Center, one of a handful of invitation-only academies for Olympic aspirants. That team from Little Rock won the Women’s Club 7s National Championship earlier this month in Des Moines, Iowa. It was the culmination of a tremendously successful summer for Vestal and her 13 teammates. “I think the coolest thing I’ve learned is that I can trust the person to my left and the person to my right,” Vestal said. “I have their back, and they have my back. In all the games we played, it was so obvious that we care so much about each other and trust each other on and off the field.” For Vestal and four teammates, the summer of celebration had not ended with the championship. Vestal flipped open her computer one day, opened an email, and froze at its words. “Congratulations,” it started, “you have been invited to the Olympic Training Center camp ... ” The men’s and women’s national teams qualified in June for spots in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, but that doesn’t mean the rosters are set. The search for talent is a never-ending process, and Vestal showed enough during a summer of scrums she is worth a closer look. The camp takes place Sept. 13-18 in Chula Vista, California. “I wasn’t keeping my hopes up, holding my breath or anything,” she said of the days leading up to the invitation. “I told

Bill Self says he’s “confident” the NCAA will allow him the opportunity to coach elite Mali big man Cheick Diallo — MVP of both the 2015 McDonald’s All-America and Jordan Brand Classic basketball all-star games — this season. “We’ve never had a big guy that could run like this,” KU coach Self said Monday at his Boy Scout Golf Classic at Lawrence Country Club. He updated reporters on the unchanged status of the 6-foot-9, 218-pounder, whose academic credentials are still being considered by the NCAA Eligibility Center. “Cheick forces a pace that nobody has ever forced here. He can create pace better than any point guard we’ve ever had here, just because the dude from rim to rim is as good as I’ve seen. I didn’t say the best offensive player, but running rim to rim, I think he’ll drag everybody along with him. I also think it forces us to play at a faster pace when your big guys run like that,” Self added. Self said he has “no idea” when the NCAA will tell KU the fate of Diallo, a graduate of embattled Our Savior New American High in Centereach, New York. “The thing about it is ... it’s been mis-reported a lot — (that there’s been) good news, bad news. There hasn’t been any news because the NCAA hasn’t told us no on Cheick. They haven’t told us yes,” Self said. “But also we haven’t wanted them to tell us anything yet, either, because I think it’s nice to see how things play out with other kids who went to that school so we have a better angle of what we’re trying to address, than just going

KU officials revealed Monday morning that junior quarterback Montell Cozart, senior defensive end Ben Goodman and junior safety Fish Smithson would serve as KU’s captains for the 2015 season, an honor that first-year coach David Beaty recently called “one of the biggest (honors) you could ever receive in your college career.” Cozart, who last week was named the starter for the season opener for the Please see KEEGAN, page 3D second year in a row, has

His career numbers — 87for-191 for 928 yards, 9 interceptions and 5 TDs — leave a little to be desired, but Co-

zart and the coaching staff have talked all offseason about his improvement and maturity, as a quarterback and a leader. Officially named the starter one week ago, Co-

zart’s status as starter already has made a positive impact on the team, according to Beaty. “I think his work habits, the way he conducts himself each day, is one of the things that draws people to him,” Beaty said. “I don’t think those kids want to let him down. He never asked anyone to do anything that he doesn’t do and he doesn’t do twice as hard. He’s just a great teammate, a great leader, and I think him being named the starter has given our team some comfort there.” Goodman, a fifth-year senior from Beaumont, Texas, who has 34 career appearances and 23 starts, became what Beaty called “by far” Please see CAPTAINS, page 3D

“

(Being named a captain is) one of the biggest (honors) you could ever receive in your college career.” — Kansas University head football coach David Beaty

No settlement in ‘Deflategate’; ruling near SOUTH

New York — After a final round of settlement talks Monday morning in which quarterback Tom Brady, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and two surprise participants participated, U.S. District Judge Richard Berman announced in open court that there would

Fort Worth, Texas — No team in America wants to play a football game more than the Baylor Bears, whose 2015 motto is “Baylor Football: Can We Change the Subject?” On Monday, coach Art Briles met the media for the first time since he denied knowing anything about the controversial handling of Boise State transfer Sam Ukwuachu, who was convicted of raping a former Baylor soccer player. Kudos to Briles, his players and the staff for sticking to the script in this, the first week of the college football season. Briles said an investigation by President Ken Starr is good, the players aren’t thinking about it, and the athletic director is in full support of Starr. While everybody who spoke on Monday was polite in the face of a difficult scenario, this incident is going to leave a scar on Briles and the program that will take years to remove. It also means Baylor is big time. You aren’t big time until you have a nasty scandal on your resume, and this certainly qualifies as Baylor’s arrival to the national scene. Whatever Starr and Baylor find from the announced internal investigation into this fiasco, this much is clear — Briles is not going anywhere until he loses a lot of games, and Baylor is now just another program doing business in the big business of college football. Despite their relationship with the Baptist Church and the self-righteous statements of morality that come from such an affiliation, in the end BU is no different than USC, Miami, Texas, TCU, Oklahoma, Auburn, Alabama or any other big-time program that got popped. Monday’s news conference was mostly a primer for BU’s opener on Friday at SMU, in which the Bears are favored by 136 points. Sorry, that’s just 36 points. Why is anyone talking about Baylor at SMU? Can’t it just be played on a video game console? Only three questions about the Ukwuachu case were directed at Briles, one from the Waco Tribune, the other from the Dallas Morning News and one from me. The point is no one at Baylor or in Waco wants to hear anything more about this case. It is just another example that when football is winning, absolutely no one in town wants to get in the way of the fun train. I asked Briles if he felt the criticism from people like me aimed at him and his program was warranted and justified. “As you get older, everybody is entitled to an opinion. I’ve never tried to tell anybody what to think or how to think,” Briles said. “I’ve tried to live in a fashion that makes (people) think a certain way. That’s been the same way with our program.”

DEFENDING U.S. OPEN CHAMPION SERENA WILLIAMS, LEFT, CONSOLES OPPONENT VITALIA DIATCHENKO after Diatchnko stopped playing because of an injury during their first round Open match Monday in New York.

Serena wins when ailing foe stops playing New York — Even before Serena Williams set foot in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday night, her path through the U.S. Open to complete a true Grand Slam became a lot easier thanks to losses by other top women. And when it was the No. 1-seeded American’s turn to play her first-round match, she was not tested one bit by a woman who appeared overwhelmed by the opponent, the occasion and, to make matters worse, an injured left foot. So Williams moved a step closer to tennis’ first calendar-year Grand Slam since 1988 without much of a workout, reaching the second round when 86th-ranked Vitalia Diatchenko of Russia stopped playing while behind 6-0, 2-0. Williams was out there for only 27 minutes and took 32 of the 37 points that were played. “It was definitely different and bizarre,” Williams said. “But at the same time, I was still focused. I kept thinking: Just stay focused; don’t lose it. You never know what can happen.” The 33-year-old American told the crowd she appreciates the support she is receiving “on this journey and this milestone that I’m trying to take one match at a time.” Diatchenko, who wore a walking boot to her news conference, said she hurt herself running sprints before the match and that she felt “sharp pain” chasing a backhand during a point. When she was drawn to face Williams, Diatchenko was happy to finally get a chance to meet a player she grew up admiring, but the experience turned out to be “terrible.” “So painful, every step,” Diatchenko said. Next up for Williams is Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands, who is ranked 110th, only once made it as far as the fourth round at a major, and picked up just the second U.S. Open match victory of her career by eliminating Mirjana Lucic-Baroni 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 Monday. Bertens and Williams have never played each other.

The Tigers open the season Saturday by hosting Missouri State. Memphis will play at Kansas University on Sept. 12.

Chanticleers to join Sun Belt Coastal Carolina will become the 12th member of the Sun Belt conference next year and transition to the top tier of college football, a person directly involved in the decision told the Associated Press on Monday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the conference and school were not prepared to make an official announcement. A news conference is planned for today on Coastal Carolina’s campus in Conway, South Carolina, near Myrtle Beach. Coastal Carolina will become a full Sun Belt member in all sports but football next year. The Chanticleers’ football team competes in FCS. NCAA rules require a one-year transition period for schools moving up to FBS. Coastal Carolina will need to expand its stadium to meet FBS requirements and join the Sun Belt in 2017. USA Today was first to report last week that the Sun Belt had narrowed its choices to Coast Carolina and Eastern Kentucky. Coastal Carolina drew some national attention in 2012 when it hired former TD Ameritrade CEO Joe Moglia as head football coach. The unconventional move has paid off on the field. The Chanticleers are 32-10 under Moglia with three straight FCS playoff appearances. The Sun Belt has 11 members, including Texas-Arlington and Arkansas-Little Rock, which do not compete in FBS. The Sun Belt’s 11 football schools include football-only members Idaho and New Mexico. With 12 football teams, the Sun Belt could hold a league championship game, starting in 2017.

Deeper Chiefs

Tuesday, September 1, 2015

CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS

————

This year, other NFL teams will be picking up former Chiefs off waivers Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The first year that general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid were in charge of the Chiefs, they were so short of quality depth that they snapped up seven players on waivers. This year, the Chiefs could have that many of their own claimed. It’s another demonstration of just how far the franchise has come in three years, from a team that was 2-14 before their arrival to one that expects to challenge for the AFC West title. “We probably have a little more depth than what we had in the first year,” Reid said. “I think Dorse and his guys have done a nice job of that. And there’s competitions. There’s a great amount of competition. So that normally brings out the best.” As a result, guys who may not have a chance in Kansas City are able to showcase in preseason games what they might do for others. The film gets out and they get claimed. “Teams look at them,” Reid said, “and they can say, ‘You know what? This guy’s worth a shot.’” Just as the Chiefs did a few years ago. After the disastrous season that led to coach Romeo Crennel’s ouster, along with then-GM Scott Pioli, the Chiefs had the top spot on the waiver priority list. They took advantage of it to grab a pair of offensive players and five on defense — all of whom are still with the team. Two of them, safety Ron Parker and defensive tackle Jaye Howard, are starters. “John Dorsey and his guys did a great job of evaluating not only the player that came in but the needs that we had on our squad,” Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton said. “Every one of those guys contributed right away. ... That’s not an easy thing to do the first game week and all of a sudden you have to learn a whole new system.” Parker and Howard

there saying, ‘Here’s your stuff, make a determination.’’’ The NCAA has reportedly been looking into Diallo’s alma mater to see if certain classes will be accepted as core curriculum. Recently, Oklahoma State had a player from OSNA be deemed eligible. “We want to know what all classes counted for other kids, too,” Self said. “Nothing’s negative. It’s nervous because we don’t know. ... We should be getting some answers here soon that will give us an idea if there’s anything we need to do past that (perhaps submit additional materials for consideration). I’m confident. I know with others (players) we’ve had and other schools have had guys that it takes time. This is certainly no fault of his. I mean, he (Diallo) goes to school for threeand-a-half years and finds out after he graduates, ‘Hey, we could have a potential problem.’ Hopefully it could be rectified.” Asked why it’s taking so long to determine Diallo’s eligibility, Self said: “I think there is a backlog of cases. It’s not black and white. When the Clearinghouse or whatever

So did cornerback Marcus Cooper and linebackers Dezman Moses and JamesMichael Johnson, though each of them are fighting for their roster spots heading into the final round of cuts, which are due Saturday afternoon. Parker may be the best example of the value of the waiver wire. He was cut eight times, and then cast aside by the Seahawks. But he stuck in Kansas City in part because of his versatility, proving over time he could play cornerback and safety. In fact, Parker became so valuable that when he reached free agency this past offseason, the Chiefs out-bid several other teams to keep him. The result was a five-year contract that could pay him up to $30 million — not bad for a player that other teams continually passed on. “That’s the real me,” he said of his play the past two seasons. “I feel like that’s the me all along. I just had to get the opportunity and the Kansas City Chiefs gave me the shot. I showed my talent last year with starting the full season.” Sutton acknowledged that hitting such a jackpot on the waiver wire is unusual. But he also points out that players claimed by other teams are chosen for a reason. “It’s not like when you

makes a determination they want to look into a school, they are looking into the school not the individual so now ... the next step after they determine what they are going do with the school, then you’ve got to determine what you are going to do with the individual. In this particular case we feel confident. I do. “We’ve had some cases, Ben (McLemore, ineligible freshman year) primarily was a situation they made the right decision. No question they did based on the information we had afterwards. I hate that because we could have had Ben on that 2012 team, which would have been pretty special. “The correct decision with Cheick ... there’s been nothing that’s gone on that is anything other than him doing exactly what people have told him to do, what the school has told him to do. Other kids are getting cleared from that school, too. They just haven’t made a determination on Cheick because they probably haven’t had his stuff (academic materials) as long as they’ve had the other kids.” Self said freshmen Lagerald Vick and Carlton Bragg have “done well, but I’ve been most excited about Dwight Coleby (6-9 Ole Miss transfer) and Cheick because I haven’t seen them, and

start out, especially if you’re a free agent, and you go to a team and have to work your way in, and sometimes they don’t have a need,” he said. “When you come in at the end, there’s a need. You just have to meet it. But there is a need. That’s why they’re picking you up. They’re not just picking you up for the heck of it.” Reid takes a certain amount of pride in the fact that the Chiefs have a handful of players who might fill another team’s needs this year. Wins and losses are what matters, but it’s in some small way another example of just how far the organization has come in a short time. Oh, and it also makes the uncomfortable feeling of cutting a player a little easier to digest when there’s a good chance that he will catch on elsewhere.

Notes: TE Travis Kelce left practice under his own power Monday after an apparent right leg injury. Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said the team would have more information today. ... TE Demetrius Harris (right foot surgery) was activated from the PUP list, though it’s unclear whether he will play in their preseason finale Thursday. “It’s getting his sea legs back,” offensive coordinator Doug Pederson said.

the best leader on the team this summer, so his election was not a surprise. Goodman finished with 21 tackles — two for loss and one sack — in 2014 and has 76 career tackles, with 13 for loss and five sacks. Back at his natural position of defensive end for the first time in a couple of seasons, Goodman has his eyes fixed on a big finale. Smithson, a former juco transfer from Baltimore, played in all 12 games during his first season as a Jayhawk in 2014 and is projected to start and quarterback the secondary this season. He finished with 49 tackles, two for loss, and one pass break-up a season ago.

ways has been and always will be on playing a clean game in that first game,” he said on Monday morning’s Big 12 teleconference. “A lot of people say, ‘Hey, you see some sloppy play in that first game,’ but I don’t think it has to be that way.” By clean, Beaty is referring to being penalty-free, smart about how the team lines up and taking care of the little things that often are new to a good chunk of players on the field. “We’ve been preparing our team for any and all situations,” Beaty said. “So when they get out there on the big field, it’s not the first time they’ve gone through it, (and) they can operate with poise.”

Jayhawks by 5 According to the online betting site sportbook. com, KU enters today as a 5-point favorite over FCS foe South Dakota State. It marks the sixth time in the post-Mark Mangino era that the Jayhawks have been favored in the season-opener, but the spread is by far the lowest during that time. KU is 4-1 in season openers since 2010 and 2-3 against the spread. Sent packing Former Jayhawks Jimmay Mundine (New England) and Nigel King (San Francisco) were waived by their respective NFL teams Monday.

ratio. That’s a nice quality for a situational lefthanded reliever who will enter games with men on base. His strikeout numbers were better this season than in his first two, another encouraging sign. Vestal and Minnis haven’t realized their ultimate dreams yet, but they’re doing everything in their power to keep themselves in contention, thanks to such strong competitive spirits.

Royals add Jonny Gomes Atlanta (ap) — Now that he’s officially on the move from Atlanta, Jonny Gomes is excited to be joining the AL Centralleading Kansas City Royals. The Braves traded Gomes during the Braves’ 4-0 loss to Miami on Monday night. He left the game in the fifth inning, hugged his teammates in the dugout and began packing up his belongings in the clubhouse. Laughing that his ca-

reer “has been kind of nomadic,” Gomes will be making his seventh move to a new team in the last five years. “I’ve been on some good teams — won the World Series, lost the World Series, lost in a playoff game to (Kansas City) last year in the onegame wild-card,” he said. “Once (the regular season) is over, it’s a clean slate. Batting averages are gone. Wins and losses are gone. Nothing to be

taken for granted. I’ll just go over there, be Jonny Gomes, try not to clog it up and help them win.” Atlanta sent Gomes and an undisclosed amount of cash to Kansas City for shortstop Luis Valenzuela. The Braves assigned Gonzalez to Single-A Rome. The 34-year-old Gomes has been in the postseason four times since 2010 and helped Boston win the World Series two years ago.

Indians win 6th straight The Associated Press

American League Indians 4, Blue Jays 2 Toronto — Jerry Sands singled home the goahead run in the seventh inning, Danny Salazar struck out 10, and Cleveland won its sixth straight game, beating Toronto on Monday night. Salazar (12-7) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings. He reached double digits in strikeouts for the fifth time this season and the first time since fanning 10 against Baltimore on June 6. Bryan Shaw got two outs in the eighth and Cody Allen finished for his 28th save. Ryan Raburn doubled home the tying run as the Indians matched their longest winning streak of the season and halted Toronto’s run at four. Toronto’s Edwin Encarnacion, who was named AL player of the week after batting .391 (9 for 23) with six home runs and 17 RBIs, extended his hitting streak to 26 games with a leadoff single in the sixth.

Interleague Padres 7, Rangers 0 San Diego — Tyson Ross held Texas to three hits in seven innings and hit an RBI single, and San Diego handed the Rangers just their third loss in 10 games. The Rangers dropped four games behind firstplace Houston in the AL West and remained in the second AL wild-card spot. The dominating performance by Ross (109) allowed him to reach double digits in victories for the second straight season. He struck out seven and walked two in his second victory over Texas this season, the other one coming on July 12. It was his fourth win in five decisions.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

By Stephen Hawkins Associated Press Sports Writer

Kansas State coach Bill Snyder knows which of his four quarterbacks will be the Wildcats’ new starter. Snyder plans to name Jake Waters’ replacement during his campus news conference today. Texas Tech’s Kliff Kingsbury is taking a different approach in revealing whether Davis Webb or Patrick Mahomes will be starting again. The Red Raiders’ depth chart lists the quarterback as Webb or Mahomes after both started multiple games last season. “They’ve had a great camp. ... Both guys deserve to be the starter,” Kingsbury said Monday during the first Big 12 coaches teleconference of the season. Asked who would start Saturday against Sam Houston State, Kingsbury said one of them will “jog out there for the first snap, and that will be it.” At K-State, three players emerged from the spring competing for the starting spot, and a junior college transfer joined the mix during preseason practice. Snyder said it was a competitive camp and that he has faith in all four quarterbacks. Some more details from the first Big 12 coaches’ call of the season:

Early starters Second-ranked TCU, fourth-ranked Baylor and Oklahoma State don’t have to wait until Saturday to open the season, but all are on the road. TCU is at Minnesota on Thursday, when coach Gary Patterson faces old friend and fellow rural Kansas native Jerry Kill. Oklahoma State plays Thursday at Central Michigan, and Baylor goes to SMU on Friday. Impact freshmen While freshman running back Joshua Thomas is in line to play at Iowa State because of need, and “hasn’t disappointed,” coach Paul Rhoads said freshman Carson Epps is probably more impressive since he has gotten noticed among a talented group of receivers. Freshman receiver Jovon Durante could have an early impact at West Virginia. Coach Dana Holgorsen said Durante has outstanding speed and route-running ability. Durante also likely will be part of the return game. Extra points n Mason Rudolph made a quick impression as Oklahoma State’s starting quarterback the final three games last season, including a comeback

victory over Oklahoma and a bowl win. But coach Mike Gundy warns there will still be some growing pains. “He’s been a really interesting player, because he’s only had three games in his career and there’s been a lot of talk about where he’s going,” Gundy said. “We want him to learn to play within himself, and not try to do too much.” n Charlie Strong has a better feel and comfort level with his players going into year two at Texas — and the players better know their head coach. But the preparation level is much the same. “Even this time a year ago, you were prepared because you had all preseason to get ready to go play,” he said. “You’re just playing a different opponent.” A year ago, it was North Texas in Strong’s debut. This season, it’s a Saturday night game at No. 11 Notre Dame. n Bob Stoops is ready to see Oklahoma’s offense in Saturday’s opener against Akron. Stoops hired offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley to bring back the kind of Air Raid offense that the Sooners helped make popular in the Big 12. “I’m very pleased with it, but that’s only practices and scrimmages,” he said.

BAYLOR FOOTBALL COACH ART BRILES ADDRESSES THE MEDIA Monday in Waco, Texas.

Briles says No. 4 Baylor not distracted by probe Waco, Texas (ap) — Baylor coach Art Briles said Monday that his team isn’t distracted by the school president’s call for an independent investigation into the handling of a sexual assault complaint against former transfer Sam Ukwuachu. Speaking publicly for the first time since Ken Starr recommended an outside investigator review the case, Briles said, “I think that’s good.” Other than that, Briles said he and his fourthranked Bears are focused on Friday night’s opener at SMU. “Honestly, I haven’t felt anything,” Briles said, when asked about outside distractions. “The thing about youth that keeps me going, and keeps other people going that have the opportunity to be around youth, is that they’re resilient, first and foremost, forgiving, nonjudgmental. “(They) just have good spirits and high hopes,” he said. “That part of it has allowed us to try to function as normally as possible.”

Starr made his proposal Friday, after reviewing the results of the internal inquiry of the sexual assault case against Ukwuachu, who was sentenced Aug. 21 to six months in jail and 10 years of probation for assaulting a Baylor women’s soccer player. At his trial, his former girlfriend at Boise State testified he hit and choked her. A Baylor official testified during the trial in a state district court that the school investigated the former soccer player’s complaint but didn’t find enough evidence “to move forward.” Ukwuachu started 12 games at defensive end as a freshman at Boise State in 2012, but was dismissed from the team in spring of 2013 for unspecified disciplinary reasons. He transferred to Baylor in his home state and sat out the 2013 season as required by NCAA rules. He did not play in 2014, either. Boise State did not at the time specify why Ukwuachu was dismissed, but the school issued a

statement last week that allegations by his girlfriend that he assaulted her when they were students there were never reported to school officials. The statement said accusations of physical violence against women were not a reason for his dismissal. Ian McCaw, Baylor’s athletic director, said Monday that his department is “fully supportive” of an external investigation and that he has “full confidence” in Briles. Starr also has proposed the creation of a new position at the athletic department to monitor the behavior of the university athletes, and that person would report directly to the school president. McCaw said he looked forward to working with Starr and school regents in defining specific responsibilities for the new staff member. McCaw said every Baylor athlete went through Title IX violence prevention training during August, and that it was the first time for that.
