Portable classrooms a thing of the past at Hillcrest Elementary By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Editor’s note: This story is the second in a six-part series preceding Saturday’s public tour of the recently completed construction projects in the Lawrence school district. Hillcrest Elementary School recently had as many as eight portables on its grounds, but with the addition of seven new classrooms, the school’s principal is happy to say the portables are no more.

“All the new space has allowed us to get rid of portable classrooms,” said Hillcrest Principal Tammy Becker. “This is the first time in over 25 years that all our students are within one building space.” As part of its recently completed construction, the school now also has a dedicated lunchroom and gym — both new additions — where before that was a shared space that lacked a fully operational kitchen. Previously, Hillcrest had a “satellite kitchen” in which food was brought in from other

Kansas City, Kan. — The federal government has awarded grants for law enforcement body cameras to Wichita, Dodge City and Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan. U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Monday the U.S. Justice Department grants are among $23.2 million awarded to 73 law enforcement agencies in 32 states to increase the use of body cameras. President Barack Obama has proposed buying 50,000 body cameras for law enforcement agencies in three years. Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan., will receive $352,500; Wichita will get $250,000 and Dodge City will receive $45,205. The money can be used to establish a plan to use the cameras and provide training before the cameras are purchased. The grants require a 50/50 local match, and the local governments must pay for long-term storage of information from the cameras. The Lawren ce Police Department did not apply for a grant.

Man suspected of indecent liberties A 33-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Sunday morning on suspicion of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, according to Douglas County Jail booking logs. The man was arrested around 10 a.m. Sunday at his home less than 1/2-mile east of Prairie Park Elementary School, according to booking records. The man was released from jail about an hour after his booking after posting a $35,000 bond with the help of a bondsman, according to booking records. According to court records, a warrant for the man’s arrest had been issued on Sept. 4. The man is scheduled to make his first appearance in court Oct. 6.

School district sees unexpected spike in enrollment numbers

A CEMENT-PAVED SECTION OF TRAIL LINKING BURCHAM PARK WITH CONSTANT PARK ends just east of Burcham Park. The Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department will ask city commissioners at todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting for an additional $78,000 to pave the entire length of the trail along the south bank of the Kansas River between the parks.

$78K requested to pave trail near Kaw By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department is requesting an additional $78,650 in city funding for an ongoing project to improve a trail along the Kansas River. Work began earlier this summer to pave a dirt trail connecting Burcham Park, at Second and Indiana streets, to Constant Park, at Sixth and Tennessee streets. It was originally proposed that

the path be two-thirds asphalt and one-third concrete. After a wet summer, the department decided asphalt wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold up, and it is now requesting additional funds to use concrete for the entire 0.64mile trail. According to a memorandum sent from the Parks and Recreation Department to interim City Manager Diane Stoddard, the increase would bring the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total budget to $186,600 and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to $136,825. The

other $49,775 is funded through a grant from the Topeka-based Sunflower Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sooner or later, we were going to come back and pour concrete on the whole thing,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Hecker, assistant director of parks and recreation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were looking at it, and it seems like a wasted step. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just fast forwarding it a little bit and going ahead with the concrete.â&#x20AC;? Please see TRAIL, page 4A

Substantial increases in student enrollment for this school year came somewhat as a surprise to Lawrence school district officials â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with the actual number of new students almost double the maximum number of new students projected â&#x20AC;&#x201D; making for larger classes at all grade levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We projected some increase, but not this much,â&#x20AC;? said Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll. Enrollment projection reports for the district, which are done by a professional education planning firm, predicted anywhere from 30 to 130 additional students districtwide, but instead enrollment increased by 249 students, according to

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

We anticipated some growth (at the high school level), so we allocated some teaching positions, but not enough to account for 211 more kids.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll

district enrollment reports released Monday. Most of the additional students are at the high school level, which accounted for 211 of the 249 students. Each high school enrolled more than 100 additional students. Those increases have made for larger classes, despite the addition of a few teaching positions at the high school level, Doll said.

The video shows sections of the inexpensive plastic, temporary fencing lying on the ground. “I was completely flabbergasted,” Kirkendall said of his findings. “After repeated warnings that the site was unsafe, and it’s still that way. We all know how long it takes a child to have an accident, hurt themselves or kill themselves, and it is right there in the middle of the neighborhood.” The three-sentence statement from the school district said Doll met with the owner of Combes Construction — the contractor at New York Elementary — on Monday afternoon and that the permanent perimeter fencing was being installed. Combes Construction has refused to comment. The New York school

has been under major renovation for a year and is part of a $92.5 million bond issue to renovate 20 schools and to build the College and Career Center. Six more schools are expected to begin construction this fall. Questions about how the schools have been inspected for both building codes and construction site safety have been raised. The school district previously had asked to have about $280,000

For example, Heskett said he’d visited Moulton at the hospital after kidney surgeries in the spring of 2014 without pay, and also cooked Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for Moulton. “He confided in me quite a bit. I confided in him,” Heskett said. “If he needed something, he knew that he could count on me to help him.” Moulton had cerebral palsy, leaving his legs and left arm immobile and his right arm with limited dexterity. Confined to a wheelchair, Moulton relied on care attendants for everything from bathing to getting out of bed. Heskett testified that Moulton’s outlook on life changed in the months leading up to his death. Heskett said Moulton grew increasingly concerned about his housing situation after an altercation between a former care attendant and his apartment manager. Moulton reportedly felt the manager had the care attendant fired, and Moulton had liked his care attendant. “When I first started working, (Moulton) was out and friendly,” Heskett said. “He was withdrawn after (the other care attendant) was terminated. “He (got) really depressed and wouldn’t ever open his window because he didn’t even want to hear people talk (outside),” Heskett said. “I would go in the kitchen and come back out and he

kissing or groping. Bonnie Fisher, University of Cincinnati professor and consultant for Westat, the firm the AAU contracted for the survey, said it also breaks out why the behavior was nonconsensual, either because of physical force, incapacitation or “absence of affirmative consent.” As for incapacitation, researchers said they defined it as “unable to consent or stop what was happening to you because you were passed out, asleep or incapacitated because of drugs or alcohol.” David Cantor, Westat vice president, said the language comes from a White House task force recommendation, tweaked “to make it very clear that we’re not just talking about being drunk, we’re talking about being so incapacitated that you can’t give consent.” Here are some of the survey’s key findings, according to the AAU’s overview: l 11.7 percent of students who responded said

mately signed a contract with Douglas County that allowed for a Douglas County codes inspector to inspect the plumbing, mechanical and electrical portions of the projects. An article in Sunday’s Journal-World, however, reported that contract allowed for only “advisory” inspections to be conducted by the county. The county inspector had no authority to issue code violations on the projects. Diane Stoddard, interim city manager, said Monday that the city and Doll are planning a joint meeting soon to discuss the city possibly providing inspection services for outstanding district projects. On Monday afternoon, Kirkendall said Doll called him to tell him that the permanent fencing would be finished Monday. “He’s going to check it himself,” Kirkendall said. “He sounded like he was taking this very seriously.” Kirkendall said he decided to make the minidocumentary because he

said Doll told him last week that there were no problems at the site, but Kirkendall said he didn’t agree. When Kirkendall arrived at the school on Sunday, fences were down so that anyone could access any part of the construction site, he said. In the 10-minute video, Kirkendall walked across the downed orange fence into the school yard and turned up a number of safety issues, including a 4-foot-deep trench with water at the bottom, a number of large postholes sitting open, rebar that did not have safety caps and abandoned tools on the ground. He pointed his camera at a Caterpillar and said, “That would be a kid’s delight.” Next he walked over to a Bobcat skid steer loader, noting that it had a closed cab. He turned the handle on the door and it opened, revealing the inside of the cab. “Oh yes, unlocked and I

guess ready to go,” Kirkendall said. “I don’t know if you could start it or not.” After he made the video on Sunday, Kirkendall said he felt bad. “I was hoping some kid didn’t go over there and get hurt,” he said. “It’s all good now. Provided the construction company follows through, it’s all good.” School board members have refused to comment about the construction project issues. On Monday, Shannon Kimball said she had seen the video but could not comment. Rick Ingram said he had not seen the video and could not comment on any concerns about construction problems. Vanessa Sanburn, board president, Marcel Harmon, vice president, Kristie Adair, Jessica Beeson and Jill Fincher did not return phone calls requesting interviews.

year’s budget,” Doll said. While enrollment increases at the elementary level were modest at 39 more students overall, the increase in combination with a reduction of positions means elementary class sizes are also larger this year. As part of the same budget reduction, 11 elementary teaching positions — including two contingency slots — were not filled. The eight elementary contingency teachers remaining were assigned to classrooms, Doll said. “We’ve assigned all of our contingency reserve teachers to elementary classrooms,” he said. “And we budgeted for those contingency teachers, but any additional teachers now would have to come from reserves.” Middle school enrollment is the only level that saw a decrease in numbers: a drop of just one student. As part of the budget reduction, middle school staffing levels were reduced by about five positions. And with the block grant set to continue next school year, the district will likely be faced with the same problem. That will likely mean cuts somewhere else in order to hire more teachers, Doll said. “There are no easy solutions to that,” he said. “To come up with more money we have to make cuts somewhere else, but we have not started talking about that.”

would be crying.” In March and April 2014, Heskett said, Moulton had two surgeries on one of his kidneys. Moulton had previously had his other kidney removed, and Heskett said Moulton was worried he’d lose his remaining kidney as well. Heskett said this made Moulton “stressed” that he may lose his independence and have to live in a nursing home. “He worried about the dialysis machine if he lost a kidney,” Heskett said. “He knew he’d lose his ability to (figuratively) run around if he was on dialysis.” That’s about the time when Moulton began talking about having Heskett kill him, Heskett said. “He would tell me when I got in in the morning I might as well just shoot him in the head,” Heskett said. “Later in the day he’d say, ‘I wish you’d just shoot me.’” Heskett said he had mentioned the suicidal comments once to one of Moulton’s friends and another time to his Trinity In-Home Care supervisors. He also tried to have Moulton call a suicide hotline, but Heskett said he didn’t push the matter because he was afraid Moulton would stop his services if he did. “If I got a therapist for him, he was going to have

Trinity quit providing care workers,” Heskett said. “He thought that if somebody would come in and talk to him, the next step would be he’d get shipped off to a nursing home.” Occupational therapist Megan Roelofs also testified Monday that independent living was important to Moulton and that he was unhappy living at his apartment complex. She said she worked with Moulton once or twice a week beginning when Moulton was released from a brief stay at a nursing home in early 2013. “Van was bummed out and depressed about his situation,” Roelofs said. “(Moulton) never wanted to do anything that might jeopardize his independent living and being released into a nursing home.” Roelofs said that she heard Moulton say things like, “I’m so mad” and “I’m sick of all this” in reference to his living situation. Roelofs said she had recently sought assistance from social workers to help him find a new place to live, but Heskett said the process didn’t move quickly enough to satisfy Moulton. Roelofs said that on one occasion Moulton was upset about housing issues when Heskett told her in front of Moulton that Moulton “was asking for

a gun this morning.” But when Roelofs inquired further, she said that Moulton “shut it down” and “laughed it off.” Neighbor Helena Charron also testified Monday about Moulton’s attitude change in the months leading up to his death. When she’d first met him in 2013, she said Moulton was charismatic and upbeat. But after his kidney hospitalizations, things changed, she testified. “After (his hospitalization), I wouldn’t see him out much. He was withdrawn and skinny,” Charron said. One time, Moulton told Charron, “I just don’t want to be here. I just want to die,” Charron said. However, several of Moulton’s friends, such as former care attendant Ulysses Demby, testified Monday morning that they didn’t believe Moulton was ever suicidal. “I read in the paper that Vance had asked (Heskett) to help him commit suicide and God put it on my heart to call the police,” Demby said. “He showed no signs (of suicidal tendencies).” Keith Slimmer, a friend and former college roommate of Moulton’s, also testified that he did not think Moulton was suicidal. “I have never known (Moulton) to be depressed,” Slimmer said. “He was very glad to be out of the nursing home and have an apartment of his own.” Testimony is scheduled to continue today. Heskett remains in Douglas County Jail on $500,000 bond.

they’d experienced nonconsensual sexual activity by physical force, threats of force or incapacitation while at college. (Note: The response rate was 19.3 percent, with 150,072 students participating, according to the report. Researchers said their analysis indicated that “non-victims may have been less likely to participate.”) l The incidence of nonconsensual sexual activity was 23.1 percent among female undergrads. Of those, 10.8 percent experienced penetration. A few more points, from the AAU’s summary: l The risk of the most serious types of nonconsensual sexual contact (physical force or incapacitation) decline from freshman to senior year. l Nonconsensual sexual contact involving drugs and alcohol constitute a significant percentage of the incidents. l 28 percent or less of incidents are reported to university or law enforcement officials. More than 50 percent of victims of even the most serious incidents (e.g., forced penetration)

say they do not report because they do not consider it “serious enough.” l About half of respondents say they think it’s likely their university will conduct a fair investigation if sexual misconduct is reported. Why didn’t KU participate? In the conference call, AAU leaders said most member universities that opted out were doing or planning their own surveys. KU says that’s the case here. “The university has been doing its own climate survey for four years now and does so each year,” KU spokeswoman Erinn BarcombPeterson said. “The most recent one was sent out via email to students on Feb. 10.” Results of the surveys are posted on KU’s Office of Institutional Research and Planning website. The AAU said many schools that participated in its survey also would release school-specific aggregate data the same day. KU — citing confidentiality and the possibility of identifying individual victims, after past requests — has not

publicly released such comprehensive data about sexual assaults reported to its Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access. In December, KU did release a list of sanctions imposed for sexual harassment. The Sexual Assault Task Force — which also was unable to obtain detailed aggregate data from KU upon request — recommended that change in its final report, saying there is little data and information available about how cases proceed through the campus resolution system for sexual assault cases. It suggests that KU regularly collect and post online information and data about the nature and resolution of sexual assault complaints filed at IOA. KU responded that the university has already implemented that Task Force recommendation by releasing the information on sanctions. “Moving forward, KU plans to continue providing data regarding sexual assaults and the resulting disciplinary actions on a regular basis, probably annually,” BarcombPeterson said.

“We anticipated some growth (at the high school level), so we allocated some teaching positions, but not enough to account for 211 more kids,” Doll said, in reference to four high school teaching positions that were added for this school year. But other position reductions for this school year reduced high school positions. Contingency teachers for the middle and high schools — those not assigned to a classroom until closer to the beginning of the school year — were reduced from five teachers to three. The staff reductions were part of about 14 teaching positions not filled districtwide. The reductions were proposed in May as part of budget reductions made in response to changes to the state’s funding formula, district officials said at the time. In March, the Kansas Legislature repealed the per-pupil school finance system that had been in place since 1992 and replaced it with block grants for the next two years, during which time legislators will put together a new funding formula. “It strains our budget because under the block grant it doesn’t matter how many kids you have, you’re still capped at last

The city’s portion of the funding — currently $58,175 — comes from the sales tax reserve. That fund would also be used to pay the additional $78,650. Hecker said the department would only be “flipflopping” funding because construction on the new Baldwin Creek Trail, which was expected to start this fall, will likely be pushed to spring 2016. The 0.7-mile Baldwin Creek Trail, which will start on Queens Road and connect to trails at Rock Chalk Park, was pushed back in order to be rerouted, Hecker said. With the new route, there will be fewer bridges to construct, Hecker said. Original plans called for five. The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism will reimburse the city for $320,000 of that $400,000 project. As with the Burcham Park river trail, the city’s portion of the project will come from the sales tax reserve fund. Lawrence-based R.D.

Johnson Excavating poured concrete earlier this summer near Burcham Park, but work on the other end of the trail has been delayed because of rain. “It’s washed out often,” Hecker said. “We get it almost dry enough, and then it rains again. It’s been one of those weird summers where there’s no long stretch of dry.” Construction on the Burcham Park river trail is expected to be completed by Dec. 1. When it’s complete, the trail will connect to the Outside for a Better Inside Trail in Sandra J. Shaw Community Health Park, making it possible to walk along the Kansas River — on a paved surface — from Lawrence Memorial Hospital to City Hall. “It’s a nice little piece of the puzzle,” Hecker said. “It’s part of the city that most people don’t venture to. Now they can take their bike or walk and take advantage of the river we have downtown but really don’t use much.” City commissioners will consider the funding request at their weekly meeting today, which starts at 5:45 p.m. at City Hall, 6 E.

Critical need The closure of Mercy Hospital in Independence may provide an opening for Kansas legislators to rethink their rejection of Medicaid expansion.

he announcement that Mercy Hospital in Independence will close its doors on Oct. 10 has caused at least one powerful Kansas legislator to indicate he might be willing to look again at the state’s options for expanding Medicaid. The hospital closing literally hit home for Senate Vice President Jeff King, who lives in and represents Independence, in southeast Kansas. After hearing the news, King said he’d “never been amenable to just an expansion of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. But as we look at states like Indiana that take a real state-centric approach to addressing the health care needs of their poor, I think that’s something that Kansas needs to strongly consider.” What such a system would look like for Kansas is unclear, but hospitals and other health care providers in the state must be pleased to see some willingness to revisit the state’s decision to turn down all expanded Medicaid funding. Hospitals, especially those in small communities, have suffered because of that choice. Part of the funding strategy for the ACA was to reduce Medicare reimbursement rates on the assumption that increased funds from Medicaid expansion would offset those losses. In Kansas, hospitals have seen their Medicare revenues drop without any corresponding Medicaid rise. Tom Bell, president and CEO of the Kansas Hospital Association said that expanding Medicaid, as called for under the ACA, would have meant an additional $1.5 million a year to Mercy Hospital. That might not have been enough to save the hospital, he said, but it “would have been a significant part of their discussions.” Bell also said that the Mercy Hospital closing may be the first of several in the state, and the federal reimbursements are no small part of the picture. The hospital association estimates that lower federal reimbursement rates are costing Kansas hospitals $132 million a year and that those hospitals are providing nearly $1.2 billion a year in uncompensated care. If Kansas expands Medicaid, the group estimates a net gain of $231 million a year in federal reimbursements and a 33 percent reduction in uncompensated care. Opposition to Medicaid expansion has been strong in the Kansas Legislature, but the leadership of Sen. King could provide an opening for new discussions. As King said, a Kansas plan would have to be a “state-centric” plan, but 30 other states and the District of Columbia all have found acceptable ways to implement some kind of Medicaid expansion. The refusal to consider various options to expand federal reimbursements is taking a toll on Kansas hospitals, as well as individual patients. The loss of a hospital is devastating to a small community. Perhaps the closing of Mercy Hospital in Independence will provide a needed wakeup call on this issue.

Fiorina now playing in majors To invoke a baseball metaphor, Carly Fiorina has been called up from the minors to the major leagues. After her widely praised debate performance last week, she can expect “fastballs” to be thrown at her head, not only by some of her Republican opponents, but by Democrats. It has already started. The first pitch at Fiorina is the number of jobs lost during her tenure as the CEO of Hewlett-Packard. While some say she is technically correct that the company’s income grew while she ran it, thousands of people lost their jobs, as did many others during the 1990s economic downturn in the technology industry. There is a good answer for this beyond the technical one she has been giving, and it can be grafted into an argument about the need to reduce the size and cost of the federal government. Just as trees need to be pruned to remain healthy and grow, so too must companies occasionally “prune” employees in order to grow, pay dividends to stockholders and eventually hire more people, including, on occasion, some who were previously laid off. Fiorina can help advance her candidacy by shifting the debate from lowering taxes

Fiorina can help advance her candidacy by shifting the debate from lowering taxes to pruning spending.” to pruning spending. This year, the federal government is projected to take in a record $3.18 trillion, according to the Office of Management and Budget. And yet, for 45 of the last 50 years, the government has overspent and had to borrow money to meet its spending addiction. Less spending reduces the “need” for more taxes. I asked Fiorina about this in an email. She replied: “Washington doesn’t know where all our tax dollars are going … because they never examine any budget from top to bottom — and haven’t for decades. What we know is that every year, every government agency spends every dime they are entitled

to — whether they need to or not — because they want to make sure the appropriations process is focused on the rate of increase for the following year.” The result, she says, is “our government (is) so big, so bloated, and so corrupt that it no longer serves the people it was designed to serve.” She would move to a zerobased budgeting standard to force every government agency to justify what it spends. She should consider going a step further and force every agency not only to justify its budget, but its very existence. As Ronald Reagan quipped, “The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.” Fiorina might promise, if elected, to call in a group of outside auditors who have no ties to anyone doing business with the federal government and conduct a topto-bottom audit that would expose waste, fraud, abuse and unnecessary spending. Their findings would be presented to Congress. A President Fiorina and the public would then pressure Congress to accept its recommendations. Here’s something else Fiorina might do that Republicans in general are not known for: grab the com-

passion issue from Democrats and make it her own. Promise to mobilize the thousands of churches in America and lead them in what they should be doing anyway — helping the poor become less so. Two members of my church have decided to leave the comfortable confines of a Sunday school class and spend time at an inner-city mission in Washington, helping poor and homeless people acquire life skills that can lead to a job, independence and a sense of dignity. I have had similar experiences helping the less fortunate escape difficult circumstances and it pays better dividends than anything politics can offer. Real compassion is helping people out of poverty, not sending them a government check, which mostly sustains them in poverty. Fiorina should also begin featuring in her speeches and on platforms people who have overcome difficult circumstances as an inspiration to others. Historically, women seem to model compassion better than men. Fiorina should take advantage of this characteristic. Call it hardball with a soft cover. — Cal Thomas is a columnist for the Tribune Content Agency.

The pope as a global diplomat Any pope who travels from Havana to the United States on a mission to persuade Congress to uplift the poor and address global warming has to be pretty audacious. So on his coming trip, Pope Francis will no doubt spark speculation about his potential for diplomatic miracles. The Vatican is no stranger, of course, to high-level diplomacy or dialogue with communist leaders (although dealing with the current crop of U.S. legislators may be tougher). Yet it is especially fascinating to watch Pope Francis’ energetic efforts to address international crises ranging from refugee flows to violence in the Mideast and Ukraine to global inequality. Although his diplomatic forays have had mixed results, he has become a powerful symbol of the worldwide thirst for social justice, focusing on the peripheries of the world in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Mideast. This has made many world leaders, including President Obama, Russia’s Vladimir Putin, and China’s Xi Jinping, pay attention. Perhaps they recognize that, more than most prominent secular politicians, Francis grasps the temper of our times. In an era when people worldwide have soured on government institutions and corruption, Francis has rejected Vatican splendor for a simple personal life and moved to clean house after years of priestly scandal. His first trip outside the Vatican was to the

The big question is how effectively (the pope) can apply his accumulated soft power to make a difference on the world stage.”

island of Lampedusa, the part of Italy closest to North Africa, to place a wreath on a memorial to migrants who died trying to cross the Mediterranean. In a globalized world where people hunger for connection, he eschews bureaucracy and reaches out directly to worshipers, even washing the feet of the disabled and youths in juvenile detention. At a time when evangelical churches, with their emotional brand of religion, are expanding exponentially, Francis’ charisma and passionate appeal for social justice have made him a religious rock star. The big question is how effectively he can apply his accumulated soft power to make a difference on the world stage. So far, the record is mixed. His godfathering of U.S.-Cuban reconciliation was stunningly

successful, but his Mideast efforts much less so. After visiting Israel and the West Bank last year, he invited the Palestinian and Israeli presidents to Rome to pray together at the Vatican, but the August 2014 Gaza war exploded days later. He opposed Western military strikes against Syria in 2013 and has met twice with Putin to discuss ending the wars there and in Ukraine, but the violence in both places continues. The Mideast’s historic Christian communities, especially in Syria and Iraq, remain under dire threat. Yet the pope’s call this month for every Catholic parish in Europe — including the two within the Vatican — to take in refugees, as their numbers in Europe reached record levels, resonated powerfully, especially given that nearly all are Muslims. At a time when the extreme Muslim fundamentalists of ISIS are promoting a theology that calls for the eradication of Christian and other minority communities, Francis is presenting the world with a wholly different theology — one that stresses inclusion and tolerance. It should be a model for all faiths. (What a disgrace — and how revealing — that Saudi Arabia banned the August issue of National Geographic’s Arabic edition, featuring Francis on the cover, for so-called cultural reasons. The ban exposes the exclusionary Wahhabi brand of Islam that America’s Saudi allies promote worldwide.)

But the pope’s most audacious foreign-policy move has been a crusade against worldwide income inequality and environmental degradation, including man-made climate change. Conservatives may decry his critique of laissezfaire capitalism or his stern warnings about global warming; environmentalists will dispute his rejection of carbontrading as a solution. But the moral force of this pope and his message could provoke a more serious debate on issues that politicians prefer to fudge, deny, or ignore. We don’t know yet whether Francis’ approach can mobilize enough grassroots pressure to move political elites. But at a minimum, U.S. legislators — and world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly — will have to pay attention to a pope who will continue to inject his concern for the poor and the environment into international discourse. Any world leaders who decide to act can cite the pope as cover. They can also use the Vatican as an intermediary in sensitive talks or as a secret locale for dialogue, as Obama did with the Cubans. Pope Francis has clearly positioned himself to play such a role and to act as a tireless emissary for the disenfranchised. His determination will be evident in Washington and New York this week. — Trudy Rubin is a columnist and editorial board member for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

elementary schools in which additions and renovations were completed ahead of the new school year. Renovations at all schools include secure entrances; “hardened space” storm shelters with concrete ceilings; new heating and air-conditioning systems with classroom-specific adjustment; secure keypadentry classroom doors; and attached bathrooms in kindergarten classrooms. As far as some of the space on the school’s grounds that was freed up with the removal of the portables, three walls of the building now surround a courtyard with picnic tables and an empty space that will soon be the school’s garden. “Classes can work outside,” Doll said. “It will be a great place for outdoor learning.” All schools also have new or additional learning pockets — breakout study spaces with

other school kitchens in the district, explained Lawrence Superintendent Rick Doll. “Having its own kitchen allows staff to prepare a lot of the food on-site,” Doll said. “It makes the food (options) more nutritious.” With its expansion, Hillcrest almost doubled in size, going from an L-shaped building to a rectangle-shaped building with two parallel hallways, as well as a new main entrance, Doll said. The new hallway, with floorto-ceiling windows and polished-concrete floors, leads to the school’s other additions: a music room, art room and library. “(The addition) provides adequate space to meet student needs for the first time in years,” Becker said. Hillcrest is one of five

flexible furniture such as stools, benches and tables — located outside of traditional classrooms. Hillcrest now has five learning pockets, which Becker said are good spaces for students to work in groups, allowing for collaboration and a more social way to learn. Voters approved the $92.5 million school bond issue in April 2013 to improve facilities at all 20 schools in the district and build the new Lawrence College and Career Center, 2910 Haskell Ave. A ribbon-cutting ceremony at the College and Career Center and a “Parade of Schools” will be this Saturday. The Parade of Schools will include the five elementary schools where additions and renovations were recently completed: Langston Hughes, Cordley, Hillcrest, New York and Quail Run. — Reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314.

WASHINGTON You know the conventional wisdom that governors are the ones who tend to fare best as presidential candidates? Not so for Scott Walker and Rick Perry. In a record-size Republican field, the first two contenders to suspend are Wisconsin Gov. Walker — the first governor in history to survive a recall election, and one with swing-state credentials — and former Texas governor Perry, the longest-serving chief executive in Lone Star history. Leading the GOP field in the new CNN/ORC Poll are celebrity billionaire Donald Trump, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and former CEO Carly Fiorina — three outsiders who among them have never won an election. Here’s what the political analysts say this means, although given our track record this year, you might want to take it with a grain of salt. At the end of the day, the 2016 Republican nominee is still likely to be someone who actually has held office before. That makes the narrowing of the field good news for former Florida governor Jeb Bush, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. It demonstrates that money isn’t everything, although the fact

Debates matter. On the strength of two strong debate performances, Carly Fiorina has vaulted to the top spot in USA TODAY’s GOP Power Rankings, unseating Donald Trump for the first time. This from a candidate who didn’t even qualify for the main debate in early August. The panel of political experts agreed that Fiorina is rising and Trump fading. The survey also showed Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker sliding again, this time to 11th place. The voting was completed before he announced Monday that he was dropping out of the race. “Scott Walker is perilously close to being voted off the island,” Kathy Sullivan, former New Hampshire Democratic Party chair, said Sunday afternoon. Adam Sharp of Twitter measured Fiorina’s rise in tweets. She “came out of the second debate in the top three as measured by Twitter conversation, duking it out with Trump for the top spot in the first half,” Sharp said. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio jumped from sixth to third in the rankings on the strength of a strong debate. “Rubio has had the best week in many ways,” said Phil Musser of the Republican digital marketing firm IMGE. Trump got 14 first-place votes, one more than Fiorina’s 13. But he was as low as 10th on some ballots, while she was at least second on nearly every ballot.

Wis. governor wants room for ‘positive’ messages Donovan Slack and Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker announced Monday that he is dropping out of the presidential race, so voters can focus on a smaller number of candidates, and a “positive, conservative” alternative to Republican front-runner Donald Trump can rise to the top. “This is fundamentally important to the future of the party and more importantly to the future of our country,” he said at a news conference in Madison, Wis. Walker said debate among Republicans had shifted to personal attacks and away from the basic conservative principles of limited government and a strong military, which he urged the party to put front and center in the GOP presidential race. “These ideas will help us win the election next fall, and more importantly, these ideas will make our country great again,” he said. “To refocus the debate on these types of issues will require leadership.” Walker encouraged others in the Republican field, which stands at 15 candidates after his departure, to consider dropping out of the race as well, so more voters could coalesce around a viable candidate. Trump praised Walker, saying he got to know Walker well. “He’s a very nice person and has a great future,” Trump tweeted. Walker has had trouble raising money as his support in polls has tanked in the past two months, and his announcement comes one day after he registered the lowest support in a national poll. A CNN/ORC survey released Sunday found Walker was backed by less than 0.5% of those surveyed — statistically zero. That’s down from 5% a few weeks earlier. Walker had made taking on labor unions a cornerstone of his presidential bid, and union reaction to his decision to drop out was swift. Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, tweeted that Walker “is still a disgrace, just no longer national.” The Wisconsin governor was one of five presidential candidates to draw early attention from the expansive political network controlled by billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch. James Davis, a spokesman for the Koch-affiliated Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, praised Walker on Monday but

Former peanut executive gets 28 years in salmonella case Outbreak in 46 states linked to 9 deaths Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Former peanut company executive Stewart Parnell was hit with a virtual life prison term Monday for his 2014 conviction on crimes related to a salmonella outbreak blamed for killing nine and sickening hundreds. A federal judge in Georgia sentenced the 61-year-old former head of Peanut Corp. of America

to 28 years behind bars, imposing potentially the toughest punishment in U.S. history for a producer in a food-borne illness case. U.S. District Judge W. Louis Sands also sentenced the former executive’s brother and co-defendant, Michael Parnell, to serve a 20-year prison term. Michael Parnell was a broker who provided food manufacturing giant Kellogg’s with peanut paste from his brother’s company. Mary Wilkerson, a former quality control manager at the defunct peanut firm, drew a fiveyear prison term for her role. The sentences capped a daylong legal hearing that featured

impassioned pleas for severe punishment from families of victims killed or injured by the salmonella outbreak, counterpointed with requests for leniency from relatives and supporters

of the defendants. The case stemmed from U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention findings that traced a national salmonella outbreak to the Parnell company’s peanut roasting plant in Blakely, Ga. The outbreak sickened 714 people in 46 states and may have contributed to nine deaths, the CDC reported. The illnesses began in January 2009 and ultimately prompted one of the largest food recalls in U.S. history. A federal jury convicted Parnell last September on 71 criminal counts, including conspiracy,

obstruction of justice and introduction of adulterated food. The verdict came after prosecutors presented evidence that Parnell and the co-defendants knowingly shipped salmonella-tainted peanut butter to Kellogg’s and other customers — who in turn used it in products ranging from packaged crackers to pet food. Federal investigators who checked the Georgia facility found a leaky roof, roaches and evidence of rodents, all ingredients for breeding salmonella. They also uncovered emails and records showing food confirmed by lab tests to contain salmonella was shipped to customers.

Chinese People’s Liberation Army soldiers train in Heihe on Sept. 16. Chinese militarization is expected to come up at meetings between President Obama and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

On agenda for Xi, Obama: Tense topics

Cyberattacks, hacking, economy will be discussed David Jackson USA TODAY

After what figures to be a pleasant meeting with Pope Francis this week, President Obama faces more contentious conversations with a powerful global rival: President Xi Jinping of China. Hacking, cyber security, military ambitions in Asia, and Chinese economic troubles are among the tense topics on the agenda as Obama and Xi meet at the White House on Thursday night and Friday. In preparing for the state visit, Obama and aides are preparing to protest Chinese militarization of the South China Sea and looking for increased cooperation on efforts to deal with climate change. Xi visits the White House after months of allegations that the Chinese have launched hack attacks against the United States. That includes the theft of personal information about millions of Americans, via a hack of the Office of Personnel Management. “Things have certainly been tense the last few months,” said Mira Rapp-Hooper, a senior fellow with the Asian Pacific Security Program at the Center for a New American Security. “It was a complex relationship before. In the last few months, it has only gotten more so.” President Obama has hinted at new sanctions on China over cyberattacks. At the same time, officials are also looking to strike a deal with China on new mutual rules for cyber security, including what Obama has described as an “international framework” designed so that the Internet does not become “weaponized.” In a recent speech to corporate executives, Obama said he will address cyberattacks with his Chinese counterpart, including claims that the Chinese are engaged in inWASHINGTON

tellectual property theft. “We are preparing a number of measures that will indicate to the Chinese that this is not just a matter of us being mildly upset,” Obama told the Business Roundtable. Continuing cyber thefts “will put significant strains on the bilateral relationship,” Obama said, and the U.S. government is preparing “some countervailing actions in order to get their attention.” This month, in a meeting with troops at Fort Meade, Obama said of the Chinese and cyber security: “We can choose to make this an area of competition — which I guarantee you we’ll win if we have to — or, alternatively, we can come to an agreement in which we say, this isn’t helping anybody; let’s instead try to have some basic rules of the road in terms of how we operate.” For its part, China has denied

accusations of hack attacks and instead accused the United States of spying on it. China’s relations with its neighbors — particularly U.S. allies like Japan and South Korea — will also be a topic of Obama-Xi meetings, which begin with a private dinner Thursday and more meetings on Friday. A major source of contention: a string of artificial islands that China has forged in the South China Sea and stocked with military equipment and air strips. Other countries in the South China Sea, as well as the United States, see the islands as military provocations. Climate change may prove to be a bright spot of this week’s plans. U.S. officials are looking for an addition to the climate change agreement the two nations reached in November 2014. China, where industrial pollution levels are major contributors to the warming of the Earth, would be a key part of any global climate change agreement, the subject of a major world conference later this year. Also on the agenda: The Iran nuclear deal and the plunge in the Chinese stock market.

This is not the America I thought I knew. I did not know FBI agents could wake my family early and enter our home, point guns at my mother, sister and me, and forcefully drag my father away in handcuffs without evidence of a crime. I did not know they could then obtain a search warrant to flip through our entire home and seize our belongings, including some of my little sister’s things. I did not know the government could restrict my father’s freedom for months and force him to fight for his innocence with only false and reckless claims against him. My father is Xiaoxing Xi, who was charged by the federal government for passing U.S. technology secrets to China. Many labeled him a spy. He faced the threat of 80 years in prison and a $1 million fine. But my father never shared secrets with China. The Justice Department dropped the charges on Sept. 11. Underlying the FBI’s key argument was a blatant factual error — the technology involved in my dad’s communications was not the sensitive technology they claimed it was. World-renowned scientists, and even a co-inventor of the technology, supported the fact that the FBI’s incriminating “evidence” was wrong. Inevitably, there are human lives affected by such accusations. For months, my family lived under a cloud of suspicion. We’ve had to limit conversations with dear friends and colleagues.

My father’s case reflects some of America’s most cherished ideals gone wrong. He is a hard-working, innocent American who was presumed guilty.

Recently, the government has raised the specter of economic espionage with much attention on China. But as our country faces increased anxiety over China, the government is targeting innocent Chinese Americans. This comes at the heels of the case of Sherry Chen, a Chinese-American scientist accused of espionage only to have charges dropped. It hearkens back to the case of Wen Ho Lee, a Taiwanese-American scientist put in solitary confinement and widely labeled a spy while investigators never actually linked him to espionage (he was also cleared). There have been other recent cases of irresponsible government overreach against ethnically Chinese scientists. Chinese spies and hackers surely exist, and those cases should be dealt with vigorously. But there are millions of Chinese Americans who are loyal and working hard to improve this country. No American should be held under suspicion because of his or her race, ethnicity or national origin. And the government should not level such serious charges or restrict the rights and freedoms of people without great care. We still do not know why this happened. We do not know why the government started watching my father, and why they arrested him before consulting fully informed experts. This was a surprise my family never could have imagined.

that Walker and Perry were having trouble raising money was a factor in their decisions. Carson and Fiorina haven’t been seen as particularly big fundraisers, something we’ll know for sure after the next Federal Election Commission reports come due next month. And it underscores the power of the debates. Strong performances by Fiorina have been the single-biggest factor propelling her from the undercard event at the first debate to Trump’s top challenger after the second one. Walker never managed to break into the main conversation in either debate. He gained political fame nationwide by taking on the publicemployee unions in Wisconsin, and his poll ratings soared after an effective early speech at the Iowa Freedom Summit in Janu-

U.S. may abstain on Cuba embargo vote Skipping symbolic U.N. vote would pressure Congress Alan Gomez @alangomez USA TODAY

Republicans in Congress reacted angrily Monday to a report that the Obama administration is considering the unprecedented step of abstaining from an annual U.N. vote condemning the U.S. economic embargo on Cuba. For the past 23 years, the United Nations has voted on a sym-

bolic resolution that denounces the embargo. Each time, through Republican and Democratic administrations, the United States has voted against the resolution, with a diminishing number of countries backing it up. Last year’s vote was 188-2. The Obama administration is considering an abstention, according to four unnamed administration officials who spoke to the Associated Press. That move would put international pressure squarely on Congress, which imposed the embargo more than 50 years ago and is the only authority that can end it. USA TODAY could not confirm the AP report. Rep. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a

Cuban-American and presidential hopeful, said the contemplated move shows Obama is “putting international popularity” ahead of his responsibilities to lead the nation. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the administration has a “responsibility to defend U.S. law and that’s what they should do.” “To support a resolution in the U.N. aimed at criticizing U.S. law would not only appease the (Castro) regime, but would ignore sanctions passed by Congress and signed into law by President Clinton,” said Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., a Cuban-American. The U.N. vote, likely next month, comes as Obama tries to

rally support for broader changes to Cuba policy following his historic move to reestablish diplomatic relations with the communist island. Since announcing in December that the

two Cold War foes would end their 54-year-long estrangement, Obama has expanded the ability of Americans to trade with and travel to the island, and the State Department has removed Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism List and reopened the U.S. Embassy in Havana. But his calls for Congress to lift the economic embargo have been ignored by Republican leaders in Congress. Carl Meacham, a former Republican congressional staffer, said there is sufficient support among Senate Republicans to end the embargo. But Meacham said Obama risks alienating those members if he uses the U.N. vote to pressure them.

Pope Francis blesses the wine and communion bread during Mass at Revolution Square in the city of Holguin, Cuba, on Monday. The pontiff is scheduled to fly to the U.S. on Tuesday.

Traitor can become friend, Francis tells enrapt Cubans Rick Jervis USA TODAY

Placards on cars. Banners in the street. Overall buzz in the air. Residents of this eastern Cuban city received Pope Francis on Monday with the enthusiastic fervor that has followed him throughout this island nation. Earlier in the day, the pontiff spoke to thousands in Holguin, 70 miles north of here, recounting the tale of Jesus and a despised tax collector. “Do you believe it is possible that a tax collector can be a servant?” he asked those gathered. “Do you believe it is possible that a traitor can become a friend?” The pope is three days into his four-day venture through Cuba, after which he will head to the SANTIAGO DE CUBA

Pontiff promotes peace between Cold War rivals before today’s trip to USA USA on Tuesday for visits to Washington, New York City and Philadelphia. Throughout Cuba, people have been as interested in him for the role he played in helping to re-establish ties between the United States and Cuba as to the spiritual messages he delivers. The pope sent letters to Presidents Obama and Raúl Castro, urging them to end their Cold War enmity and offering the Vatican as a neutral meeting place. Those efforts culminated with the reopening of embassies in each country this year. “He’s eliminated that discord

between our two countries,” said Ernesto Gomez, 27, a restaurant food supplier in Santiago de Cuba. “It’s a true blessing to have him here.” Monday night, Francis visited a shrine in nearby El Cobre dedicated to Our Lady of Charity, the patron saint of Cuba, capping another long, busy day for the 78year-old pontiff. He’s scheduled to lead a Mass at the shrine Tuesday morning and visit the main cathedral in Santiago de Cuba before flying to Joint Base Andrews to begin his U.S. visit. Two unscripted speeches on Sunday — one inside Havana Cathedral and another to students in front of an adjoining cultural center — drew the most animated responses. They displayed the down-to-earth quality that has made Francis one of the most popular popes in recent history.

WASHINGTON Pope Francis’ visit to the White House on Wednesday is actually one of the least important stops on his historic visit to North America. The pontiff will address the nation when he speaks to a joint meeting of Congress on Thursday, and he’ll address the world at the opening of the United Nations General Assembly on Friday. The World Meeting of Families, the primary reason for his visit, is likely to draw more than a million people to Philadelphia on Saturday. His arrival at the White House on Wednesday, in front of 15,000 invited guests on the South Lawn, is just a more crowded version of the pomp and circumstance that begins all formal visits from heads of state. “This is a very unique visit,” said Ben Rhodes, President Obama’s deputy national security adviser. “It’s quite different from any other type of visit that we would receive from a leader of a foreign government in the sense that the pope is the leader of an incredibly important institution that is deeply valued by many, many Americans, and he’s also a prominent, if not pre-eminent, moral and spiritual leader around the world on a whole host of issues.” Obama’s meeting with Francis in the Oval Office on Wednesday will probably be one-on-one, president-to-pope. At the same time, there will be a separate Cabinet-to-Cabinet meeting among Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican secretary of State, and top Obama administration officials. “I would guess that some of those sharper issues will not be thrown in the Oval Office, but at the staff meeting,” said Stephen Schneck, director of the Institute

for Policy Research and Catholic Studies at the Catholic University of America, where Pope Francis will celebrate Mass later Wednesday. While Obama and Francis talk about the shared humanity of migrants around the world, other Vatican officials may press for specific actions the United States could take to alleviate the Syrian refugee crisis in Europe. While Obama and Francis talk about income inequality, their staffs could be talking about the Puerto Rico debt crisis. And while Obama and Francis talk about the respect for human life and religious freedom, the discussion in the next room could turn to the U.S. bishops’ objection to abortion and to providing mandatory contraception to church employees. The White House said the pope’s visit doesn’t have the same kind of agenda or expectations as a typical state visit. Schneck said he expects other events to have a more lasting impact than the closed-door White House visit. “The message he’s really bringing us is from his meeting with prisoners in Philadelphia and his meeting with clients of Catholic Charities in Washington,” he said. “I’m glad he’s meeting with the president. There are important things to talk about. But he’s not here to advance legislation on climate change. He’s here to advance the Gospel.”

IN BRIEF NO BAIL FOR ACCUSED KILLER OF ‘BABY DOE’

Graphic details surrounding the murder of 2½-year-old Bella Bond emerged in an emotion-filled Boston courtroom Monday while Rachelle Bond, the girl’s mother, stood with her eyes closed and head hung low. Bond’s boyfriend Michael McCarthy, 35, is charged with the murder of Bella, whose body was found in a trash bag on a Boston Harbor beach on June 25. McCarthy and Bond, 40, also have been charged with the improper disposal of a body, and Bond has been charged as an accessory after the murder, accused of helping McCarthy dispose of the body and cover up the crime. Both pleaded not guilty. Bond was ordered held on $1 million cash bail. McCarthy was ordered held without bail. — Trisha Thadani

GUN VIOLENCE LEADS TO RISE IN NYC MURDER RATE

A bloody weekend in New York that saw eight shooting deaths has led to concerns that out-of-

control gun violence may be returning to the city. New York’s homicide rate has risen 5.3% this year compared with the same period in 2014. That reversed a 25-year trend in which the rate slid from 2,245 killings in 1990 to 328 in 2014. Among the worries for some New Yorkers: A change in policing, such as a scaling back in stopand-frisk policies, may have led to the uptick in violence. — Matthew Diebel LUNAR ECLIPSE TO COINCIDE WITH ‘SUPERMOON’ SUNDAY

It hasn’t happened in 32 years, and won’t for another 18 years: Sunday evening, weather permitting, a total lunar eclipse will coincide with a “Supermoon.” A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the full moon and the sun. The Earth’s shadow covers the moon, which often has a red color, hence the “blood” moon nickname.

Shares of world’s biggest carmaker fall 18.6% on Monday Nathan Bomey and Chris Woodyard

@NathanBomey, @ChrisWoodyard USA TODAY

The Justice Department has reportedly opened a criminal probe into Volkswagen’s admission that it rigged 482,000 diesel cars in the U.S. to beat emissions tests as investors hammered the automaker’s stock Monday, sending shares plunging 18.6%. The criminal probe, reported by Bloomberg News based on two

unnamed sources, creates another headache for VW, which offered an apology Sunday for cheating on emissions tests. It has halted sales of the affected models. Shares of the German automaker — the world’s largest vehicle manufacturer through the first six months of 2015 — closed at $132.20, down 18.6%, in trading in Europe. Investors are absorbing the blow of the automaker’s decision to halt sales of new and used 4cylinder diesel cars in the U.S. until it can remove software that fooled regulators into believing that its smaller “clean diesel” cars were compliant with emissions standards.

VOLKSWAGEN

VW has halted U.S. sales of all 4-cylinder diesel cars.

Fitch Ratings said Monday that the scandal could put pressure on the automaker’s credit rating, but it noted that Volkswagen’s financial performance remains “extremely robust” globally. “Nonetheless, the conse-

quences of this crisis for the group’s brand image ... is difficult to assess,” Fitch said. The Environmental Protection Agency and California state regulators on Friday accused Volkswagen of installing a “defeat device” to evade emissions requirements. The market is also trying to calculate the magnitude of the penalty the company is almost sure to face in the U.S. and other markets. General Motors just agreed to pay $900 million to settle a criminal probe into faulty ignition switches, in which it is paying compensation for 124 traffic-accident deaths.

The much-anticipated results will be announced at a closelywatched shareholder meeting in Charlotte at 10 a.m. Tuesday. EXISTING-HOME SALES SLIDE U.S. home sales slid in August by the most since January as tight supplies and rising prices discouraged potential buyers. The National Association of Realtors said Monday that sales of existing homes fell 4.8% from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.31 million, the lowest level since April. The median home price has increased 4.7% the past year, more than double the increase in average hourly pay.

Apple has tried to keep its electric car venture, codenamed Titan, under wraps.

along the way, and we decide to really put our energies in a few of them.” If true, Apple’s automotive venture would be bold and ambitious. It would also be in keeping with the company’s often-repeated approach of refining already existing products, frequently redefining those very categories as it did with portable music players (iPods), smartphones (iPhones) and tablets (iPads). Regardless of Apple’s impres-

sive track record, it would face stiff competition given the growing number of entrants in the space. Besides autonomous vehicle pioneer Google, which has been testing its fleet of self-driving cars since 2009, ride-hailing giant Uber has made noises about replacing its drivers with robots and has been hiring experts from Carnegie Mellon University at a fast clip. A range of traditional automakers, from Audi to Volvo, have stepped up their Silicon Valley-

based research and development labs in order to speed work not on self-driving cars but rather on tech that gives drivers improved driver-assist tech, specifically for situations when traffic is slow. Google in particular has made clear that when it comes time to mass-produce its pod-like, twoperson self-driving car, currently testing in Mountain View, Calif., and Austin, it will seek a partnership with an existing automaker to ease the financial and regulatory burden that comes with automotive manufacturing. Apple traditionally has never been big on partnerships or co-branding. Gartner’s automotive practice leader Thilo Koslowski isn’t surprised that Apple might be eyeing a production vehicle, given how cars have morphed from horsepower-focused machines to rolling software platforms. “The car is now the ultimate mobile device, so if I’m a big technology company looking at automobiles that are largely software driven, I’d be thinking, ‘Hey, that’s us,’ ” he says. Koslowski adds that while the auto industry is known for its traditionally low profit margins, “maybe that’s just the old way of looking at a business that will be changed. From a tech company perspective, perhaps you’re not looking at cars as single ownership products but more as shared devices that you’ll focus on in specific geographies.” Many auto and tech analysts have posited that in the near future urban centers could give way to sensor-driven autonomous vehicles as a way to reduce pollution and free lucrative real estate currently given over the cars. While Apple could well fasttrack its move into the automotive space by buying an existing manufacturer, Koslowski says that isn’t necessary to get into this product arena. “I can guarantee you that there are traditional automotive manufacturers that would offer up excess capacity on their production lines, particularly if the economy got tight,” he says.

JEFFERSON GRAHAM, USA TODAY

There is little danger to U.S. iPhone users unless they use Chinese social media apps.

Apple began taking down the compromised apps over the weekend. The company did not respond to requests for comment. The counterfeit code was uploaded to servers in China, where developers unwittingly used it to create apps. It was primarily designed to steal users’ passwords. Some users were sent phishing messages that tried to trick them into disclosing more information. Many of the affected apps have huge audiences in China, including the messaging app WeChat, a ride-hailing service called Didi Kuaidi and apps for buying train tickets in China and trading on the stock market. Chinese President Xi Jinping will arrive in the U.S. on Tuesday for a state visit that will include discussions on cyber security. There’s no reason to believe China was especially targeted by the hackers, said John Gunn with VASCO Data Security International in Chicago. “It was opportunistic,” Gunn said. “They figured out that there was a remote server that had the Xcode program on it that wasn’t being monitored by Apple, and it happened to be in China.” Apple users historically haven’t had to worry much about security because of Apple’s closed software system, which vets every app sold in its App Store. Google’s Android system is more dangerous, specifically because it is an open system.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Matt Krantz USA TODAY

Netflix and Amazon are battling for your streaming dollars. And they also are dying to get Hollywood’s attention as they do it. Hollywood doesn’t seem overly impressed so far. And the streaming battle isn’t making much of an impression on Wall Street either. The two companies are spending heavily to make original shows. It’s all business. Both want to make shows you can only watch if you subscribe to their service. It doesn’t hurt to get buzz, either. Neil Doshi of Mizuho Securities was underwhelmed with Netflix’s showing. Just two Netflix shows pulled down Emmy Awards. House of Cards took Outstanding guest actor and Orange is the New Black took outstanding supporting ac-

tress. That’s despite getting 34 nominations. Perhaps more concerning, newer shows like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Marco Polo and Daredevil weren’t even nominated. Amazon did relatively better, says Mizuho. The Amazon show Transparent brought home two awards – outstanding lead actor in a comedy series and outstanding director for a comedy series. Amazon shows got 12 nominations, vs. none a year ago. HBO, in comparison, got 126 nominations. AMC got 24 and Showtime 18. Mizuho says Netflix’s poor showing in the Emmys despite big investments in content is a warning sign. Add in the stock’s high valuation, and Netflix stock is the best to avoid, the brokerage says. Most analysts, though, rate the stock as an 18-month price target of $118.39. The stock closed Monday at $100.30.

The company, which is based in Palo Alto, Calif., and recently opened production studios in Los

Analysts fear stock party is winding down

Q: Are homebuilders in trouble? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Investors bracing for the wrecking ball to hit homebuilders’ shares keep waiting. But the stocks keep working. Lennar, a large homebuilder, is the latest example of a homebuilding stock that has been strong enough to withstand uncertainty. Shares are up more than 20% over the past year as the builder’s profits and revenue have risen along with stronger new home demand. The company Monday reported 23% higher adjusted quarterly profit per share of 96 cents. That topped expectations by 20%. And it’s not just a one-quarter phenomenon, either. Adjusted earnings are expected to jump 21% this fiscal year, S&P Capital IQ says. Eventually the homebuilder stock party needs to wind down, and analysts are starting to fear those days are approaching. Lennar shares are rated “hold” on average by analysts who rate the stock. There are signs of some housing market slowdown. Existing home sales fell 4.8% in August, according to a report Monday. Shares of Lennar skidded about 2% Monday following its earnings report. Keep in mind, though, the drop in existing home sales comes following off a strong July. Homebuilders are also getting an unexpected lift from an accomodative Federal Reserve.

Prime time is getting another jolt of brain — and star — power. In the 2011 thriller Limitless, a struggling writer named Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) unlocks 100% of his brain capacity after taking a mysterious mind-enhancing drug called NZT. Not only was the film Cooper’s first foray into leading-man territory and a solid box office success (earning $79.3 million), it also planted the kernel of an idea for a TV spinoff, premiering Tuesday on CBS. “We never talked about a movie sequel, but at the end of (shooting), we were thinking it’d be such a great serial TV show,” Cooper says. “When the movie ends, there are so many questions and avenues of where to go,” so “why not go back into that world, see other people on NZT and find out what happened to Eddie?” The series stars Jake McDorman as Brian Finch, a down-on-

Donald Trump deserves a fantastic biography, a huge biography, the best biography ever. Just ask him. REVIEW What he’ll have to SUSAN settle for instead, at PAGE least at the moment, is Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success. In it, journalist Michael D’Antonio has written a carefully reported and fair-minded account of what he calls “the long and hyperactive life” of the real-estate-mogulturned-reality TV star who now leads the Republican presidential field. Which is a development that has startled everyone in the political world except, possibly, Trump, who on Monday announced that he’s writing his own, so-far untitled book outlining his campaign views. It’s due Oct. 27 from Threshold Editions. Never Enough paints a portrait of a bombastic and boastful man who acknowledges he hasn’t really changed since he was a kid who got into so many scrapes, physical

and otherwise, that his parents shipped him off to military school. “When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same,”

Trump told the author during more than 10 hours of interviews. Of course, Trump hasn’t exactly lived an unexamined life up to now. His website lists 16 books he has written or co-written, from the best-selling The Art of the Deal to the more obscure The Best Golf Advice I Ever Received. D’Antonio, a former reporter at Newsday, hasn’t broken dramatic new disclosures. But he has pulled together Trump’s story, subjected it to some fact-checking and dissected a string of business deals that display his drive to win, his thirst for money, his willingness to push boundaries and his apparently endless quest for publicity. Now, with the benefit of exquisite political timing, Trump has managed to tap a deep and angry thread of political discontent among Republican voters who question President Obama’s leadership and legitimacy and are fed up with GOP leaders who have failed

to shake things up enough. D’Antonio tries to put Trump in the context of his times, from the positive thinking of the Rev. Norman Vincent Peale of Marble Collegiate Church, where Trump’s family worshiped, to social scientists studying the narcissism of the late 20th century. He notes that Trump was born in 1946, the forward edge of the Baby Boom generation. He prospered during the booming “greed is good” 1980s, gained greater fame as host of TV’s The Apprentice and now brags about the size of his social media network. “Indeed, for all of his excesses, Donald Trump is a man perfectly adapted to his time,” D’Antonio writes. He calls him “merely one of us, writ large.” Susan Page is Washington Bureau chief of USA TODAY.

Teach kids not to abuse

this has on negative feelings about the pregnancy or baby, parenting roles and the ability to perform parenting responsibilities. When untreated, the effects of perinatal mood disorders can have a lasting impact on the health of the whole family. Perinatal mood disorders do not only manifest

Dear Dr. Wes and Gabe: My 13-year-old touched one of our younger children inappropriately. My husband and I disagree on how to handle this. I say we should tell the police and show him how serious this is. My husband says that won’t get him help and we should instead find a therapist. What do you advise? Wes: I’ve changed my stance over 23 years of practice in response to societal shifts on this issue. Back in the 1990s it was clearly understood that most sex offenders were treatable, that children and society greatly benefitted from treating them, and most importantly for your situation, that with few exceptions, the teen offender’s mindset was nothing like the adult offender’s. That’s all gone by the wayside in favor of a purely law, order and punishment approach that’s politically expedient but doesn’t emphasize the kind of healing justice necessary in these difficult cases. So, not only is your younger child at risk from your older child — which should be obvious at this point — but your older child is at risk of having his entire life derailed by an aggressive justice system. Thus, before you have anything to do with therapy or law enforcement, seek the advice of an attorney. I’ve been down this path many times and cannot stress enough how crucial this is. The police are not there to help or guide your son. They’re there to enforce the law. Likewise, any therapist you take your children to see is legally obligated to report your son for child sexual abuse, even if it’s very clear that he didn’t

FLU VACCINES CAN SAVE LIVES, AND NOW THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES FOR THOSE WHO FEAR NEEDLES. The same immunization is now available as a nasal spray. There is also the option of a jet injector, which forces the vaccine into a stream of fluid that penetrates the skin.

Vaccines protect you — and those around you

By Lauran Neergaard

Associated Press

ive flu vaccines another chance: This year’s version got a recipe change that should make it more effective after last winter’s misery from a nasty surprise strain of virus. Don’t let a fear of needles stop you. Beyond the traditional shots, the squeamish for the first time could try a needlefree injection, or choose the nasal spray or tiny skin-deep needles that have been around for a while. All told, at least 171 million doses of flu vaccine are expected this year. “It doesn’t matter which flu vaccine

you get, just get one,” Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said before rolling up his own sleeve for a regular shot. Last fall and winter marked “a bad year for flu,” Frieden acknowledged, as a mutated strain of Type A flu began spreading widely after the vaccine doses already were brewed. The H3N2 flu subtype is always harsh, especially for older adults, and the vaccine was only 13 percent effective against the mutated version that caused most of last year’s illnesses, he said. Typically, flu vaccine is 50 to 60 percent effective. Flu-related hospitalizations of seniors last year were the highest recorded in the decade that CDC has counted. That same H3N2 strain still is circulat-

ing in other countries and even in low levels in the U.S., Frieden said. “So far, the strains in this year’s vaccine seem likely to match,” Frieden said, stressing that CDC is closely monitoring genetic fluctuations to see if that changes. Still, “flu is fickle,” said William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University and the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. The vaccine protects against three or four different strains, depending on the brand, Schaffner noted, saying that even if one strain mutates, vaccination remains “the best defense against flu.” Some things to know about flu vaccinations: Please see FLU, page 2C

as depression, but also include anxiety, inability to cope, obsessive or scary thoughts, insomnia and difficulty bonding. In the most severe and rare cases, psychosis, which involves hallucinations, delusions and a break from reality, can occur. In the worst-case scenarios of depression, anxiety and psychosis, tragedies can occur, but thankfully women who receive proper support, diagnosis and treatment almost always recover completely. It is hard to recognize perinatal depression or anxiety for many reasons. A new mother might not recognize depression or anxiety because she is tired, overwhelmed or simply adjusting to life with a baby. Often women blame themselves for not being able to handle things instead of realizing it is a medical condition and not a sign of failure. Moms and families might feel ashamed or embarrassed and fear admitting to negative feelings at a time when society implies we should be feeling nothing but joy. Lastly, every woman will have a unique experience and unique symptoms. There is no one cause for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Women who develop a mood dis-

order experience symptoms that are caused by a combination of psychological, social and biological stressors. Hormonal fluctuations cause reactions in women who are more sensitive to these changes. Risk factors include a personal or family history of mood or anxiety disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia; sensitivity to natural or synthetic hormones; marital or relationship stress; and lack of support. Admitting there is a problem is the most important step a woman can take for herself and her family. Reaching out to a

Flu CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Who should be vaccinated: Everyone starting at 6 months of age, the CDC says. Flu is especially dangerous for people over age 65, young children, pregnant women and people with chronic health conditions such as asthma or heart disease. Healthy young people can get seriously ill, too, as well as spread the disease. CDC said last year, at least 145 children died of flu, above the yearly average of 100, a number Frieden called an underestimate.

Which kind to choose: One option this year is a needle-free device called a jet injector that forces the vaccine into a stream of fluid that penetrates the skin. It is recommended for adults 18 to 64. The CDC said it can result in some of the same soreness as a traditional shot. The nasal spray is the most widely known alternative to the shot, and can be used by healthy

The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older get a yearly flu vaccine. Getting the vaccination is the most effective way to avoid getting the flu, a contagious respiratory illness, the Health Department said in a press release in advance of the flu season. Kathy Colson, Health Department clinic supervisor, said in the release it’s not only important for people to get vaccinated to protect themselves, but also those around them. “People can be infected with the flu virus and not be showing symptoms. During this time, those persons may still spread the virus to others,” she said. The Health Department, 200 Maine St., offers flu shots on a walk-in basis during clinic hours. No appoint-

Dear Annie: My 31-year-old daughter, her boyfriend and my 13-year-old granddaughter have lived with my husband and me for the past 10 years. I never thought they would stay this long. My daughter, “Tina,” asked whether her boyfriend could live with us for two weeks until his car was fixed after a hit-and-run accident. We said OK. Big mistake. When the car was repaired, we heard all kinds of excuses why he couldn’t leave. We didn’t make a big effort to push him out because he was polite and he loved Tina and her child. Everything worked well until Tina started to pick on me and point out my faults. Slowly our relationship began to erode. Tina doesn’t have a job, so she stays at home to care for her child. I am

sick and can’t work, so we’re both home all day. I think Tina is jealous of my relationship with my granddaughter, so she put some distance between us. No matter my efforts, things just get worse. They have succeeded in turning my granddaughter against me. Now my patience is gone, and I feel like a stranger in my home. My husband tells me to give her time and she’ll come around. I’m hurt and de-

‘Muppets’ truly a treat for anyone Delightful. Now, that’s a word I don’t use often enough. But it applies to the new reboot of “The Muppets” (7 p.m., ABC), premiering tonight. Deceptively sophisticated, the new “Muppets” employs the documentary style of “The Office” and the backstage anarchy of “30 Rock” to offer a behind-the-scenes look at Kermit and the gang as they try to produce Miss Piggy’s talk/variety TV show. Not to give too much away, but Kermit and Piggy have broken up, adding additional minefields to the green frog’s already difficult job. A subplot includes attempts by Fozzie Bear to win over his new girlfriend’s decidedly prejudiced parents. Antibear bigotry can be ugly! Like its original incarnation, “Muppets” is a rare treat for the entire family.

Having dispensed with words like “charming,” “delightful” and “effervescent,” we turn to on “Scream Queens” (7 p.m., Fox). Produced by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, figures behind series including “Glee” and “American Horror Story,” this series also stars “Horror Story” veteran Emma Roberts. She’s Chanel Oberlin, the cruel and bitter head of the elitist Kappa House sorority. Jamie Lee Curtis stars as the new dean of students, an enemy of Greek life. Given the show’s cast and producers, “Scream Queens” is the biggest disappointment of the season.

Based on the 2011 film with the same name, “Limitless” (9 p.m., CBS) stars Jake McDorman as Brian Finch, a man given a super-secret drug that turns him into the smartest man on Earth for short bursts of time. You’d think that would offer him some time to do some serious thinking. But his status makes him a coveted asset to guys good and bad, so he ends up running and jumping from one explosion to the next. Look for Bradley Cooper, star of the film, in a recurring role.

Cowboys lose QB Romo for 2 months

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

The Associated Press

Tony Romo won’t be back for at least two months because of a broken left collarbone, and maybe closer to three with the way the schedule falls for the Dallas Cowboys. His All-Pro receiver, Dez Bryant, will be sidelined perhaps through the end of October because of a broken right foot.

Chiefs get back to work Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — In less than 10 seconds of game time, the Kansas City Chiefs went from having a celebratory long weekend to having one they would have preferred be as short as possible. Poised to knock off AFC West rival Denver last Thursday night, the Chiefs instead allowed a pair of touchdowns — one of them after Jamaal Charles coughed up the ball for the second time — in the final moments for a dispiriting 31-24 defeat at Arrowhead Stadium. They finally returned to work with a light practice Monday, and coach Andy Reid was in no mood to sulk over the Chiefs’ monumental meltdown with a trip to Green Bay on deck next Monday night. “If you’re still on that game, you and I are in a different place,” Reid said on a conference call with reporters. “We’re deep into the Packers and getting ready there.” Reid said little had changed on the injury front, though left tackle Donald Stephenson did participate in Monday’s workout. He sprained his ankle against the Broncos, forcing Eric Fisher to play even though the former No. 1 overall draft pick has been nursing his own ankle. Reid said that Fisher also could be ready to start against Green Bay. “He’s feeling better. He’ll be in the right tackle spot,” Reid said. “I want to see how he does as we get rolling here. Today was a bit better, bit of rest has helped him out. Looks like he is headed in the right direction. We’ll see how he does Thursday.” The Chiefs (1-1) are taking Tuesday off before meetings on Wednesday, and then will go into their normal gameweek preparations with full practices Thursday and Friday. While Reid was quick to put the Broncos defeat behind him, it remains to be seen just how quickly his players will follow suit. Charles was especially dejected in the locker room afterward, since it was his fumble with 27 seconds remaining that proved to be decisive. “I just know better as a vet, playing this game a long time,” Charles said. “I have to know not to fumble the ball at the end of the game, know to try to make it go to overtime to compete for a win. I didn’t give us any chance and that’s the hardest feeling right there.” His teammates were quick to rush to his defense, pointing to the dynamic touchdown run Charles ripped off early in the game, and the way he pounded the ball throughout the second half. “It was obviously hyped up. It was Thursday night football, a division game. Then again, it is just another game,” Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. “It’s one of 16 that we get and in the end we have everything that we want in front of us. It’s week two.” In fact, that was precisely the message Reid delivered to his team in the postgame locker room, and one he likely delivered again when the team reconvened this week. “Don’t let this beat us again,” Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston said Thursday night.

NEW YORK JETS DEFENSIVE BACKS BUSTER SKRINE (41) AND DARRELLE REVIS (24) DIVE to tackle Indianapolis wide receiver Donte Moncrief in the Jets’ 20-7 victory Monday in Indianapolis.

Jets keep Indianapolis winless, 20-7 Indianapolis (ap) — The New York Jets’ suddenly opportunistic defense did it again Monday night. Calvin Pryor intercepted one pass to set up a touchdown, Darrelle Revis snuffed out a scoring chance by recovering a Colts fumble in his own end zone as New York Jets confounded Andrew Luck most of the night and held on for a 20-7 victory at Indianapolis. New York, 2-0 for the first time since 2011, already has 10 takeaways this season and has turned them into 31 points — a stark contrast from 2014 when New York scored 20 points off turnovers the entire season. Indianapolis matched last season’s 0-2 start by losing back-to-back games for only the second time in Luck’s four-year career. “It wasn’t a pretty win, but we’ll take it,” receiver Brandon Marshall said. “We’ve got a long way to go.” Against an offense that was considered one of the league’s best into the season, Revis and the Jets made sure it was no contest. Revis continued his mastery of the Colts by recovering two fumbles and grab-

bing one of Luck’s three interceptions, and between the Jets’ suffocating defense and a steady stream of costly penalties, the Colts never could really get in sync.

Ryan Fitzpatrick finished 22-of-34 for 244 yards with two touchdown passes and one interception — getting his first career win at Lucas Oil Stadium. Fitzpatrick became the first player since 1950 to start five consecutive road games against one team while playing for five different teams. He was 0-4 in the previous starts. Eric Decker had eight receptions for 97 yards before leaving with a knee injury, and Brandon Marshall caught seven passes for 101 yards and one touchdown. How strange was this for the Colts? They were shut out in the first half in consecutive weeks for the first time since 1997 and Adam Vinatieri missed his first field goal inside 30 yards since 2007. And Luck was 21 of 37 for 250 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. “It’s hard to win games in this league, even more so when we have five turnovers, 11 penalties, are 0 for 5 on third downs in the first half and can’t get off the field,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. But the Jets still struggled to put this one away.

Both of the LHS doubles teams won one match. Seniors Maddie Mask and Caroline Baloga teamed up for a victory at No. 2 doubles against Blue Valley West, while Natalie Cote and Betsy Smoot earned a win over Shawnee Mission West at No. 1. Mask and Baloga are in their first year as doubles partners. They have different styles of play. Mask is better at volleys, and Baloga owns the stronger and more consistent serve. However, sometimes they get in their own way during matches. “When we get too nervous and too hyped up, that’s when we start missing,” Baloga said. “We came in with a little more relaxed attitude, and that really helped.” Despite two losses, Mask and Baloga were happy with their effort throughout the day. One of their strengths is communication because they are good friends. “We can get on each other’s necks without taking offense to it,” Mask said. “I think that helps us a lot more because a lot of doubles partners can’t do that without getting

We can do that, and it helps each other out because we don’t like to let each other down.” With less than two weeks until the Sunflower League meet, Mask and Baloga are focused on becoming more consistent with their play. They went 2-2 at the Topeka Invitational last week. “A lot of their matches is flow,” Marshall said of his No. 2 doubles team.

“When one is playing well, the other one is playing well. Unfortunately it also works the other way when one is not playing well. “If we could ever get everyone playing well at the same time, we could probably do some serious damage,” Marshall added. “Overall, it was a good day. We did grow and learn.” The Lions will face Manhattan in a dual at 3 p.m. Thursday at LHS.

BRIEFLY Veritas v-ball loses to CPRS Independence, Mo. — Veritas Christian School’s volleyball team lost in three sets to Center Place Restoration School on Monday . The Eagles (10-11) fell, 22-25, 25-21, 25-18. Allie Swisher and Chloe Holland led offensively with 10 and 9 kills, respectively, while Emma Wilson added 19 assists. Veritas will travel Thursday to Olathe Heritage.

Seabury defeats Hyman Brand Overland Park — Bishop Seabury Academy’s boys soccer team earned a 9-1 road victory over Hyman Brand Hebrew on Monday. The Seahawks (3-1) had goals from Austin Gaumer, Amir Shami, Chris Cho and Thomas Silvestri, among others. Seabury will play host to Cornerstone at 4 p.m. Friday.

Welle leads Ram Masters at CSU Fort Collins, Colo. — Ben Welle continued the Kansas men’s golf team’s hot season start after day one of the Ram Masters Invitational. Welle’s 6-under 134 gave him a three-shot lead over Kyler Dunkle of Colorado State, while the

Jayhawks were just one stroke behind CSU for the overall lead with a 1-over 561. KU’s Chase Hanna and Charlie Hillier were tied for seventh at 142 (2-over), while Connor Peck sits in a tie for 11th at 143. “We played well today. We let a few slip away late, but overall a pretty good start to the event. The third round is going to be a lot of fun, CSU on their home course will be tough to beat but that’s why we play,” KU coach Jamie Bermel said.

lone shot at TCU. Despite those numbers — and several others — stacked against them, Beaty believes his squad is ready to prove it can handle life on the road. “It’s something that we’ve prepared for,” Beaty said. “And it really is kind of a good time for us to be able to go on the road and give those guys a new look at what college football’s about.” Not only are the Scarlet Knights a non-Big 12 opponent, but, like the Jayhawks, they too enter Saturday’s game struggling. After falling at Penn State 28-3 last Saturday night, Rutgers sits at 1-2, with its lone victory coming in the opener against Norfolk State. Add to that the fact that Rutgers recently suspended six players for off-the-field issues — including its best offensive player in wide receiver Leonte Carroo — and will be playing its second game without head coach Kyle Flood, who is serving a threegame suspension, and it’s possible the many distractions facing the Knights could benefit Kansas. Still, Beaty said the key for his team to have a chance in this one was

It’ll be interesting to see how our young team handles that this week, and I think they’ll do fine. I think they’ll do really well. I know our coaches have prepared ’em. “I think they’re gonna be excited to be able to step on that plane for the first time and travel and represent our university.”

KU-ISU kickoff set for 11 a.m. The Big 12 Conference announced Monday morning that KU’s Oct. 3 road game at Iowa State would kick off at 11 a.m. and be televised by FOX Sports Net. The Jayhawks defeated the Cyclones, 34-14, in 2014 at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, giving KU just its third Big 12 victory in the post-Mark Mangino era. A year earlier, on a bitterly cold night in Ames, Iowa, the Cyclones shutout the Jayhawks, 34-0, for their first conference victory of the 2013 season. Jayhawks back on Longhorn Network As was the case for games at Texas in 2011 and 2013, the Jayhawk Network and Longhorn Network will co-broadcast the Nov. 7 game between Kansas and Texas in Austin, Texas, at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Stadium. Kickoff for the early November clash is set for 7 p.m. Time Warner Cable SportsChannel will produce the game, which can be seen on the Jayhawk Network in the state of Kansas and the Kansas City metro area.

National League Pirates 9, Rockies 3 Denver — Starling Marte homered among his four hits and came within a triple of the cycle, and Pittsburgh beat the Rockies. Aramis Ramirez went deep and Jody Mercer had four hits for the Pirates, who reduced their magic number for clinching a postseason berth to two. A win Tuesday and a San Francisco loss would clinch at least a wild card for the third straight season. Mercer hit doubles in the second and fourth innings to drive in Francisco Cervelli, who had three hits.

Mets 4, Braves 0 New York — Jonathon Niese won for the first time in a month, Michael Conforto homered, and the Mets moved closer to an NL East title with their victory over the Braves. Daniel Murphy lined a two-run double, Yoenis Cespedes had three hits and the Mets handed hard-luck Shelby Miller (5-16) his 15th straight defeat. New York stretched its lead to 61⁄2 games over the second-place Nationals with 12 to play and lowered its magic number for clinching the division to seven. Niese (9-10) tossed three-hit ball for six innings, keeping the ball down during an encouraging outing and getting 13 of his 18 outs on the ground.

SCOREBOARD

BIG 12 COACHES

Kingsbury clams up after speaking out when he takes the field something good is going to happen,” Texas coach Charlie Strong said. Texas opens Big 12 play Saturday by hosting Oklahoma State (3-0).

The Associated Press

Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury is done talking about Bret Bielema. Kingsbury made headlines following last weekend’s 35-24 victory over the Razorbacks by blasting the Arkansas coach. According to Kingsbury, some comments Bielema made at a recent Texas high school coaches’ convention insinuated that spread offenses were soft. Kingsbury turned down multiple opportunities to elaborate on the matter Monday on the Big 12 coaches’ call, preferring instead to focus on Saturday’s league opener against No. 3 TCU (3-0). “I’m moved on from that,” Kingsbury said. “I really don’t want to revisit it.” Kingsbury did confirm that he and Bielema shook hands after the game, refuting suggestions that the two ignored each other. Kingsbury also clarified that it wasn’t his intent to stick up for the spread offense, which is by far the attack of choice in Texas prep football. “I’ve never had to defend that ever. I wasn’t defending anything. Just kind of stating facts,” said Kingsbury, whose team is 3-0 after losing eight of 10 to close 2014. West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen, a longtime proponent of the spread, dismissed the idea that spread offenses can’t be tough, adding that he believes his Mountaineers (2-0) are as physical as “any team out there.” “I’ve seen spread offenses be soft. I’ve seen

If you coach them to be soft, they’re going to be soft. If you coach them not to be soft, it doesn’t matter what offense you run,” said Holgorsen, whose team hosts Maryland on Saturday. Have you heard? Texas might be 1-2. But the Longhorns have apparently found a quarterback. During last weekend’s heartbreaking 45-44 loss to California, red-shirt freshman quarterback Jerrod Heard broke the school record with 527 yards in total offense, with 364 passing and 163 rushing. The previous record of 506 yards was set 10 years ago by Vince Young, who would go on to lead Texas to a national title. “Just to watch the way he operated Saturday night was amazing. And the thing he does is he gets everyone on the team just charged up knowing that

Baylor commits potential violation The Associated Press

Baylor coach Art Briles said Monday he was embarrassed to find out that one of his assistant coaches was on the sideline during an Oklahoma home game, the second potential NCAA rules violation by his staff to be disclosed in two weeks. Briles said he wasn’t aware beforehand that passing game coordinator Jeff Lebby, who is also his son-in-law, was going to be at the Sooners’ game against Tulsa. “If I had been aware, that situation would have never happened,” Briles said during his weekly news conference on the

Waco campus. “It’s embarrassing to me, quite honestly.” When he found out, Briles said he called Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops after Saturday’s game and apologized. “That seems to be — that’s a pretty fundamental rule. That’s not allowed, so I don’t know what he was doing here,” Stoops said in Norman, Oklahoma. “It’s something that needs to be reported and needs to be dealt with through the Big 12 office and our people. I’m sure they will. I’ve got a team to coach. They’ll handle those matters, I’m sure, and the NCAA will.”

Extra points n Count TCU coach Gary Patterson among those who think Saturday’s game against the Red Raiders will be a lot closer than the 82-27 blowout win the Horned Frogs posted in 2014. TCU has already lost nearly half its starting defense to injuries, and Tech is unbeaten. “We understand...that Tech’s a better football team than they were a year ago,” Patterson said. “They’re completely different. Our kids see that.” n Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said the Sooners spent more time practicing “Hail Mary” defense this year than ever before.
