he Lawrence Jayhawk Kennel Club’s three-day dog show brought hundreds of dogs, owners and spectators to the Douglas County Fairgrounds over the weekend. Though more
than 600 dogs representing 150 breeds competed, there was still room left in the spotlight for a skittish mixed-breed dog whose story is known to many in Lawrence. Penny, the 2-year-old Labrador retriever mix who inspired a local social media movement after running
away while pregnant in February, was presented with a special “VIP dog” award Sunday. Now living with a new foster family in Auburn, Penny has been attending obedience classes free of charge from the Lawrence

After more than 40 years of research, Merriam said, she can place one relative alongside George Washington at the Battle of Valley Forge; another was captured and raised by Native Americans in Kentucky. “I traced it all the way back to the signing of the

partment requesting a pedestrian walkway through the construction. Matt and Jennifer Richards, the owners of Made, 737 Massachusetts St., also sent a letter to Thiel. They said sidewalk closures, even of a short duration, “tend to disrupt walk-by pedestrian traffic and, consequently, sales.” “Anybody that’s going to be walking from Starbucks, Gap, Winfield House, they’re going to cross the street and walk on the other side, and we’re going to miss all of that,” Shephard said. “We’ll miss a big portion of traffic if there’s no walkthrough for pedestrians.” Thiel’s memo states that Eldridge staff agreed to allow pedestrians to walk through construction on Massachusetts Street “at a time when both they and the city agree pedestrian safety can be maintained.” The plan does not include a time frame for when pedestrians could gain access. The owners of Ruff House, Sweet! and Made all said in their letters they were concerned about the construction’s effects on sales during the 2015 and 2016 holiday shopping seasons, especially.
“That’s the biggest time of year for everyone down there — that’s pretty concerning,” Shephard said. In her letter, Hopper proposed the contractors start work in January so it would affect only one fourth-quarter period. City commissioners will also be asked Tuesday to authorize a lease agreement with the Eldridge for the public parking lot at Seventh and Vermont streets. The parking lot, which contains 28 spaces, will be closed for the entirety of the project. Under the lease agreement, the Eldridge would pay the city $8,000 monthly. A maximum $15,000 will be paid back to the Eldridge after contractors restore the lot to its previous condition. A plan from Paul Werner Architects states the parking garage adjacent to the Lawrence Public Library “has capacity to accommodate all parking affected by construction of the project.” The City Commission’s regular meeting will start at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 6 E.

Cramer presented Penny with the “VIP dog” award that included a gift of a new leash, dog toy and collar with a tag reading, “Rescued is the best breed.” Penny is available for adoption, and applications
can be submitted to the Second Chance Animal Refuge Society in Auburn. Penny has escaped about six times since February from various shelters and foster homes, Barr said, so a perfect home and owner would take that into account. But Barr said Penny’s story illustrates a bigger issue. “I think that what Penny represents is that there are so many dogs in Kansas that don’t have love and care, and she was one of the lucky ones that got out,” Barr said. “It shows what love and support can do for animals.”

City commissioners will also decide at their Tuesday meeting whether to finalize a sales tax break for materials used on the Eldridge Hotel expansion — a type of incentive some commissioners campaigned against during elections this spring. The resolution up for consideration finalizes a transaction started in February, when then-city commissioners approved a measure that signaled their intent to issue $12.5 million in industrial revenue bonds for the project. Industrial revenue bonds would allow developers to receive an exemption from paying sales tax on construction materials, which would save them an estimated $460,000. Of the $460,000 in waived taxes, approximately $108,000 would be city taxes and slightly more than $18,000 would be county taxes. About $329,000 would be the state’s.

Omega-3 enriched beef becoming less rare, more well-done By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press
Wichita — Healthconscious consumers might be persuaded to eat more beef if it were fortified with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids naturally found in salmon and walnuts, according to researchers and some ranchers who are feeding cattle flaxseed — even marine algae — with an eye to offering another wholesome dinner choice. People have long been told they can decrease their risk of heart disease by eating more omega-3 fatty acids, the kind salmon get from algae. It inspired researchers at Kansas State University: Could the steaks and hamburgers from cattle fattened on algae pass on those healthy fats? Separately, some Texas grocery stores are selling beef products fortified with omega-3 through flaxseed, a trial run so successful that orders have quadrupled since it began seven months ago. And a
nationwide study shows consumers would be willing to pay $1.85 a pound more for enriched steaks and 79 cents a pound more for enhanced ground beef, Kansas State agricultural economist Sean Fox said. After putting a pot roast into her shopping basket at a Wichita grocery store, 31-year-old Lindsey Goodwin considered that very question. “Probably, it kind of depends on the price,� she said. But Terry Cooper, 36, was skeptical, adding that the university might have an “uphill battle� persuading people to eat more beef. “The reality is we all eat more junk food ... but we think we should eat healthy,� Cooper said. Algae contains the omega-3 type fatty acids known as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), both of which nutrition experts say people should consume at least 250 mg per day because of their

working very hard to provide a better life for their children. They are both working full time and have found affordable housing for their family, but they are straddled with college loans, credit card debt and the constant expenses that come with raising a family, like making sure their kids have things like school supplies and shoes.” Thanks to Let’sCUSave, the family is now on its way to meeting some of their ambitious goals, like paying down debt, making some car repairs and, eventually, buying their own home. The Let’sCUSave program, launched in April, is a new offshoot of the Money Matters class, a financial literacy program created through the collaborative efforts of the United Way and its community

protective effects on the heart; DHA is also associated with infant brain development. A third omega-3 type is alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), which is abundant in flaxseed. Ground beef from cattle that eat grass, a natural source of omega-3s, contains about 20 to 30 mg in a 5-ounce serving. That increases to at least 200 mg per 5-ounce serving when cattle are fed algae or flaxseed rations, Kansas State researcher Jim Drouillard said. Other omega-3 fortified foods are commercially available — such as eggs, bacon and chicken. Yet

partners Housing & Credit Counseling Inc., Lawrence Community Shelter, Ballard Community Services/ Penn House and the Salvation Army. The free course is led by Housing & Credit Counseling and covers everything from personal budgeting to renter preparation. At the end of the Money Matters course, participants have the know-how they need to take charge of their finances. The United Way and Housing & Credit Counseling also wanted them to have the tools and encouragement they needed to put the theory into practice right away, so they teamed up to create Let’sCUSave. New Money Matters grads simply present their certificate of completion at Evista Credit Union, Truity Credit Union, MidAmerica Credit Union or Meritrust Credit Union to open a savings account with a minimum deposit of $25. When they deposit $5 or more per month
for the first three months, they receive a $25 bonus. If they deposit at least $10 per month for three additional months, they get an additional $25 bonus. The funds for the savings incentives were provided by the four partnering credit unions and the United Way. “The Let’sCUsave program supports our Self Sufficiency goal of providing breakthrough opportunities for individuals to improve their financial management skills and practices,” Gregoire said. “We are so pleased we can partner with area credit unions to offer this type of rewards program for people who open up new savings accounts.” Deborah Kurtz, director of market development for Meritrust Credit Union, said the company was on board immediately. “We think everyone should be given tools to improve their financial status, and we want to give them the tools to do that. Even if peo-
ple are saving just $5 a month, every little bit adds up,” Kurtz said. “We want to encourage and reward that behavior because that means they are headed in the right direction.” Gregoire said too many people in our community don’t have a savings account. “But having money saved means you can be more self-reliant if an emergency comes up; that you have a resource to cover an unexpected cost or realize a dream, like paying down debt or setting aside money to purchase a car or house,” she said. The family Gregoire met in Money Matters class was among the first to sign up for Let’sCUsave, she said. “Her short-term goal for this savings account was to pay down some of their $4,000 credit card debt, replace the threadbare tires on their car, then start saving for a down payment on a home of their own.”
salmon is king, providing 10 times the amount of omega-3s as enriched beef products — at least 2,000 mg in a 5-ounce serving. Cost comes into play when making omega-3 fortified beef more widely available. Researchers are examining whether algae is an economically feasible feed, given that commercial sources are scarce. Beef produced from cattle that eat algae contains more of the EPA and DHA fatty acids than cattle fed only flaxseed, Drouillard said. All told, it may not raise consumer prices more than 15 to 20 cents a pound extra according to Bernie Hansen, founder of GreatO Premium Foods. He said the added costs of fattening livestock on flax-
seed-based rations would be mostly offset by the lower costs of raising animals which are healthier and need fewer antibiotics. The Manhattan, Kan.based company, which for 14 years has researched how to produce omega-3 enhanced beef using flaxseed at an economically viable price, is testmarketing its fortified ground beef in 50 HEB supermarkets in Texas. When the trial began almost seven months ago, HEB was ordering about 100 cases every two weeks, each containing a dozen 1-pound packages of the omega-3 enriched beef. The response from shoppers was so good that within six months HEB increased its order to 400 cases, Hansen said. GreatO also sells its
flaxseed-fattened beef to Timber Ridge Cattle, an Iowa company that makes beef sticks and supplies omega-3 enriched steaks to some restaurants, including HoQ Restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa. Restaurant owner Suman Hoque says the omega-3 steaks have more marbling and are more tender and flavorful than leaner grass-fed beef. His patrons noticed, and have been coming back for it, said Hoque, who is selling about 200 steaks a week and buying about 1 1/2 times more enriched beef this year than he did a year ago of just grass-fed beef. “People love these. ... I sell more meat than anything else,” Hoque said. Sara Schwertfeger, a 31-year-old stay-at-home mom from Urbandale,

Iowa, and a dietitian by training, knows the benefits of omega-3s, and purchases enriched eggs, salmon, walnuts, grassfed beef and the beef sticks. But she doesn’t know whether she would buy omega-3 enriched beef if it came from cattle fattened in a feedlot. “It probably comes down to not only the nutrition,” she said, “but if you also want to care about how they are raised.” The idea behind omega-3 fortified beef products isn’t to tell people what they should or shouldn’t eat, Hansen said, but to make what they’re already eating healthier. “Your mother would say, ‘You are what you eat,’” Hansen said. “Well, we say, ‘We are what they ate.’”
Wichita shelters seek to expand Wichita — A surge in homicides involving women in abusive relationships and a lack of beds for victims seeking shelter have prompted some Wichita agencies to seek ways to expand capacity for domestic violence victims. Harbor House, a shelter for women operated by Catholic Charities, has been turning away more than 100 requests a month for shelter due to a lack of space, The Wichita Eagle reported. Six of Wichita’s homicides this year have been connected to domestic violence, police said, compared with three all of last year. Later this month, the Sisters of St. Joseph convent in southeast Wichita starts accepting referrals on Oct. 19 from Harbor House and Anthony Family Shelter, which provides assistance for homeless families. The convent will have 14 rooms available for use in the first stage. A dozen more rooms are scheduled to be available in January.

K-State announces $1 billion campaign Manhattan (ap) — Kansas State University has announced a $1 billion fundraising campaign. President Kirk Schulz unveiled the effort Friday before a crowd filled with hundreds of supporters. The goal is to grow the university’s endowment, providing resources to improve student retention and graduation rates, train faculty and assist with new research efforts. The school says that in the five years leading up to the public announcement, $766 million has been in invested in the university through the campaign. Schulz thanked donors for their generosity, saying it’s the “foundation” for the university’s success. The university has set a goal of being among the top 50 public research universities by 2025. Schulz says the campaign is “another huge step forward.”

memberships to the new tennis center at Rock Chalk Park. If Genesis does so as well at Clinton Parkway, Lawrence will have two public tennis centers. As I’ve long said, there’s a reason why the inventor of tennis is buried in Lawrence. Am I confused again? In all seriousness, I am told Lawrence does have a pretty active tennis community. The new facility at Rock Chalk Park certainly could put Lawrence in the running to host some sizable tennis events. Jim Marchiony, an associate athletic director at KU, said the new facility would give the university a chance to host the Big 12 Championships in Lawrence. The last time KU won the right to host the Big 12 meet, it used courts in the Plaza area of Kansas City, Mo., Marchiony said. Marchiony said KU would make the facility available to non-collegiate tennis tournaments and events as well. The new facility could be paired with the eight existing lighted, outdoor tennis courts that are owned by the city and are adjacent to the city’s recreation center at Rock Chalk Park. KU’s tennis center basically will just be at the other end of the parking lot from those courts. Plans call for the tennis center to be on the southern end of Rock Chalk Park, just south of KU’s soccer field. In addition to the six

Kansas University Athletics is already working on a deal to build a new 78,000-square-foot tennis center at Rock Chalk Park. indoor courts and six outdoor courts, plans call for the center to have an elevated seating area that can accommodate about 500 spectators in the indoor facility. The center also will have an expanded locker room for the KU women’s tennis team, and a special members lounge and locker room, according to Paul Werner, the Lawrencebased architect designing the project. The new facility will be a significant upgrade over the current facility at Clinton Parkway. That facility has five indoor courts, limited spectator seating, and spectators often can’t see the play that is happening on all courts. Marchiony said KU hopes to be able to move into the new center in time for the start of the KU women’s spring 2017 season. Marchiony said KU has struck a deal to continue playing at the Clinton Parkway facility in the interim. As we previously reported in July, the KU
tennis center at Rock Chalk Park will be built using a public-private partnership that is similar to what KU used to build its track and field, soccer and softball facilities at Rock Chalk Park. The tennis facility will be owned by an entity led by Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel. The Fritzel entity — Bliss Sports — also owns the track and field, soccer and softball facilities, but leases them to KU Athletics, although the Fritzel entity retains some rights to use the facilities for private uses. The sale of the Clinton Parkway property is reflective of that partnership. KU Athletics — and its related entity Jayhawk Tennis Center LLC — did not directly sell the center to Genesis Health Clubs. Instead KU Athletics sold the property to Fritzel’s Bliss Sports. Bliss Sports later that day then sold the property to Genesis Health Clubs. Marchiony said KU Athletics made the deci-
How to drain a fuel tank for winter
W
hen storing gas-powered equipment away for the season, it is important to remove any unused fuel from the tank and lines. Gas left stagnant for extended periods of time can oxidize into a shellaclike substance. There are several steps to choose from that will help eliminate this problem. Step 1: Reduce the opportunity for condensation to form in a gas can or fuel tank by filling the tank or can completely full before storing away. Adding a fuel stabilizer, such as Sta-Bil, will also aid dramatically in the successful storage of excess gasoline. Step 2: Drain the fuel from a small engine tank by locating the fuel line on the underside of the tank. Clamp the line closed with a smoothfaced clamp or binder clip. Disconnect the line from the carburetor. Position the end of the line over a container large enough to hold all the fuel. Remove the clamp or binder clip. Once the fuel is fully drained, reattach the fuel line to the carburetor.
Fix-It Chick
Linda Cottin Step 3: Siphon the fuel using a bulb-type siphon pump. Place the inlet portion of the siphon tube into the gas tank. Position the outlet portion of the siphon tube into a container large enough to hold all the fuel. The process will work best if the fuel tank is physically higher than the fuel container. Squeeze the siphon bulb to start the flow of fuel from the tank into the container. Once the gas has stopped flowing, allow the remaining fluid to drain from the siphon tube into the fuel container. Step 4: Eliminate the awkwardness of bulbtype siphon pumps by using a self-priming siphon hose. These patented “Wonder Pumps” are equipped with a unique fitting on one end of the
hose that has the ability to prime itself with simple motion. Place the fitting end of the line into the fuel tank and place the other end of the line into the empty container. Shake the fitting end up and down a few times until the fuel starts flowing. Allow the fuel to drain completely and then remove the fitting end from the tank. After draining a fuel tank, regardless of which method is used, start the engine and allow it to run until it stops. This will burn away any remaining fuel from the lines and carburetor, leaving the fuel system dry and ready for storage. — Have a home improvement question for the Fix-It Chick?

sion to sell the property to Bliss, and left it to Bliss to decide what it wanted to do with the property. Terms of the deal between Bliss and KU Athletics weren’t disclosed, but Marchiony said it was a fair market transaction. As for the Rock Chalk tennis center, it already has won a positive recommendation from the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission. It now needs to win special use permit approval from the Lawrence City Commission. That appears to be a pretty straightforward approval. There have been no requests for tax incentives or for financial participation from the city, which would complicate the approval process at City Hall. I look for the project to be on the City Commission’s agenda in the next few weeks. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears daily on LJWorld.com.

Depressed wife needs to seek therapy Dear Annie: I have been married to “Pam” for 16 years. During the last nine, she has gradually become a totally different person. She has gained a lot of weight, but that’s not the real issue. It’s everything that goes with it. Pam has successfully lost weight through healthier eating and exercise — multiple times. She gains energy, is more active in our kids’ lives, enjoys time with family and friends and seems happier. But as soon as she starts to show real results, she gives up. This latest bout was the worst. With the exception of doctors’ appointments, she no longer leaves the house. I find myself being both mother and father to the kids, doing most of the housework and

also taking care of Pam. She no longer attends any of the kids’ school events. I work nights and am always having to cut sleep short to do things that she could easily do. On top of that, Pam gets angry with me and everyone else for seemingly no reason at all, and then claims we’re the ones snapping at her. I don’t argue with her about anything these days, but she looks to pick a fight all
CW wows with musical comedy “Something completely different.” That phrase does not pop up often in a TV column. “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” (7 p.m., CW) qualifies as something fresh and audacious. And that’s a cause for celebration. “Crazy” stars Rachel Bloom as Rebecca Bunch, a tightly wrapped perfectionist. She’s first seen as a teen at band camp in 2004 professing her love to a handsome and much less complicated boy named Josh. Fast forward 10 years and she’s a stupendously o v e r worked and utterly miserable lawyer driven to hyper-success by her mother. In a moment that might be construed either as an epiphany or a nervous breakdown, she encounters the adult Josh (Vincent Rodriguez III) on the streets of New York and decides there and then to follow him to a decidedly unglamorous California town and begin life anew. She’s so happy about her decision that she bursts into song, one of a few elaborate numbers that sets this series apart. The songs in “Crazy” are far closer to the absurd ditties on “Flight of the Conchords” than the polished performances on “Glee,” or the purposefully corny numbers featured on ABC’s “Galavant.” As plot devices they offer a nod to the old and the new. As in Shakespeare, characters break into verse when mere prose no longer conveys heightened emotion. And they serve as beautiful little YouTube moments, all the better to promote the series. This is a smart and subversively sophisticated comedy that can be appreciated by a wide audience on a number of levels. O “Fargo” (9 p.m., FX) continues to defy expectations. Last year, nobody thought it could match the original film. Now many fear it can’t live up to the greatness of the first season. Rest assured, “Fargo” continues to amaze, but in different ways. Set in 1979, the story circles back to Lou Solverson (Patrick Wilson), the police officer played by Keith Carradine last season. He’s investigating a major turf war between smalltime gangsters in North Dakota while caring for his cancer-stricken wife, Betsy (Cristin Milioti). If possible, the humor is even darker and more low-key than the first season. It lacks the warm emotional center that Allison Tolman’s Molly Solverson character provided. But it makes up for it with a more ambitious crime saga. Jean Smart triumphs as the icy matriarch of a besieged clan. Ted Danson arrives as Betsy’s father and a police mentor to Lou. Tonight’s other highlights O The Battles begin on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC). O Michael Chiklis joins the cast of “Gotham” (7 p.m., Fox) as Capt. Barnes.
the time. Two years ago, she accused me of having an affair (I wasn’t). Frankly, I’ve lost all interest in intimacy with anyone. We had a long talk, and I was completely honest and told her that I am no longer attracted to her because I don’t feel like her husband. I feel like her chaperone. I still love Pam because she is the mother of our children. A divorce scares me, not only because of the financial issues, but also because my youngest child would be devastated. (The other kids wonder why we are still together.) Should I wait until the youngest is older? Would a divorce open Pam’s eyes? I’m not sure I’d trust her to follow through, no matter what she says. — Strug-

Foam failure The failure of a relatively new road construction process will raise the price tag and delay the opening of a key local interchange.
I
t’s discouraging to learn that the new South Lawrence Trafficway interchange at Bob Billings Parkway will be delayed because of the failure of some type of foam used in the highway construction process. The problem not only will delay the project by several weeks but also add about $2.1 million to its cost. Most lay people probably had never heard of using foam as a base for road pavement. According to Kim Qualls, a Kansas Department of Transportation representative, the foam is a relatively new technology frequently used in certain construction situations such as jacking up pavement in an approach to a bridge or filling in where concrete highway panels have settled. In this case, however, the foam compacted more than expected, resulting in portions of the roads leading to the new interchange sinking below their intended grade. As a result, KDOT has decided to go back to a more traditional earth-andconcrete construction strategy for the interchange. First, however, it has to remove the foam, which Qualls likened to pulling many, many packing peanuts out of the ground. That image is a little amusing, but not funny enough to make Kansas taxpayers laugh off the delay and the extra $2.1 million it will cost to fix the problem. It’s hard for non-engineers to know whether this was a problem that KDOT should have been able to avoid. Apparently the foam has been used successfully on other projects but, for some reason, it “didn’t hold up” on the local interchange. “It’s a lesson learned,” Qualls said, “and that’s something that can then be applied to other projects.” The original price tag for the interchange was $18.23 million, so the $2.1 million repair bill will raise the project’s cost by about 11.5 percent, as well as delay the opening of the interchange for several weeks. Maybe there was nothing KDOT could have done to avoid this situation, but it was a pretty expensive lesson.
Rubio is potent GOP challenger In recent weeks, the Republican presidential race has focused quite naturally on poll leader Donald Trump — the mere mention of whom drives extensive Internet traffic — and his fellow outsider hopefuls, Dr. Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina. But just below the surface, four candidates polling mostly in the single digits are jockeying to represent the GOP’s establishment wing in what many analysts believe will ultimately be a showdown with Trump or perhaps one of the others. Presumably, the battle among former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio won’t sort out until the voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada vote next February. Before then will be four more GOP televised debates, climaxing in a midJanuary confrontation in Iowa. But since the Sept. 16 debate, there are signs Rubio is emerging as the strongest of the four — hardly surprising to many observers, especially Democrats who long have feared his combination of youth, Hispanic background and Florida residence made him the most potentially potent GOP challenger. Explaining attacks on Rubio from both outsider and establishment rivals, Politico’s Glenn Thrush said, “No other candidate poses such a threat to either flank, so he should take it as a compliment.”
Carl Leubsdorf carl.p.leubsdorf@gmail.com
“
For some time, Rubio has shown the potential to become the Republican Hispanic Obama, a historic figure who could reverse recent GOP setbacks with Latinos.” He cited the 44-yearold’s unique combination of youth, political talent, a plan to win, a record sufficiently conservative for most Republicans and a history of having “always outperformed expectations,” starting with his 2010 election to the Senate. His seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee lets him speak with more authority on foreign policy than governors, and his four years as speaker of Florida’s House gives him management experience senatorial rivals lack. Like all other candidates in both parties, he has handicaps. He angered some conservatives by helping Senate Democrats pass a compromise immigration bill (which he has since renounced), and he so far
lacks enough strength in the early states for a necessary breakthrough, though South Carolina’s hawkishness and Nevada’s substantial Hispanic population might provide that. Still, his main establishment hopefuls have all encountered difficulty, raising doubts they top both Trump and Rubio when the race reaches its crucial stretch. Bush started as the clear favorite for establishment support, based on his ability to raise money, his family’s history of success and his Florida record, but his poll numbers have steadily dropped amid considerable anecdotal signs Republicans are cool to nominating another Bush. He has suffered from the kind of inarticulate explanations that pass for “goofs” in today’s over-heated political media world. That includes last week’s reaction to the Oregon shootings: “Stuff happens” that doesn’t always require a governmental response. Such moments might reflect the rustiness of someone who hadn’t sought office in 14 years. Kasich has performed well in New Hampshire, home of the first primary, by spending a great deal of time and money there and presenting himself as a sensible conservative like others who have done well there in recent years. But he trails badly both nationally and in the first caucus state of Iowa, whose results often influence New Hampshire’s voting just eight days later.

His views are only marginally different from many other hopefuls: He opposed a government shutdown, though he favors defunding Planned Parenthood; he enabled Ohio to participate in the Medicaid expansion through Obamacare; and he favors legal status for undocumented immigrants. He has stressed his governmental experience in a year many Republicans consider that a detriment. Christie has never overcome the negative impact of the highly publicized incident in which top aides stopped George Washington Bridge traffic to punish the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee. He performed well in the last debate but has yet to show he can gain necessary traction in New Hampshire. For some time, Rubio has shown the potential to become the Republican Hispanic Obama, a historic figure who could reverse recent GOP setbacks with Latinos. But questions remain about whether his Cuban background will appeal to the predominantly Mexican Hispanics in key Western states and whether his youth and personal political skills can surmount his very conservative positions on women’s issues, immigration and foreign policy. Still, four months before the voting begins, he remains the Republican candidate with the most longterm potential. — Carl P.

State fiasco
Parade safety
To the editor: It’s gratifying to know Journal-World reporters are keeping us informed about the latest Topeka legislative fiasco. In this cash-strapped state, these incompetents decide to hire a consulting firm for $3 million with the express mission of streamlining government operations. The question of this firm’s success is dubious at best. Alvarez & Marsal were consultants for Lehman Brothers and Enron, and we know how well that turned out. According to the governor, Kansas was supposed to be a shining beacon to show the nation how a truly conservative government operates. I, for one, am convinced, Gov. Brownback, you don’t know what you’re doing and neither do the people who support your hare-brained schemes. I suppose the question is: Is this state worth fighting for? Probably not. Let’s finally take care of this problem by selling Kansas to the highest bidder. It will then become a company-owned state, and we’ll rename it Kochistan. All our cash-flow problems will finally be laid to rest. Anna Slemmer, Lawrence
To the editor: Oct. 2 was Lawrence High School’s annual homecoming. As you may know, LHS has a week of festivities leading up to the game. One of the main events of the week is the annual LHS Homecoming Parade. The parade lined up at Trinity Lutheran Church and headed south down Massachusetts Street for about six blocks to LHS. My family and friends chose to watch the parade in front of Dillons on Massachusetts. Many people were spaced along the entire route of the short parade. I was shocked that, as the parade progressed using the southbound lane, the northbound lane was open to traffic. Keep in mind that parade participants were tossing candy to children all along the route as semitrailers, cars, etc. passed by at normal speed. This was NOT a safe environment, and I remain amazed the city would allow this to happen. Will it take an innocent parade watcher getting injured or killed for action? I mentioned my concerns to the police officer at the end of the parade. His re-
sponse was, “The city won’t allow northbound traffic to be shut down. Call your city commissioner.” The parade lasted about 15 minutes (or less). We seem to be able to close streets for other parades: Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day, KU Band Day, just to name a few. In a small town like Lawrence that prides itself on holding old-fashioned parades, closing a street for 15 minutes is a small price to pay for a safe, fun, wholesome activity. Don’t you agree? Lisa Leroux-Smith, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 12, 1915: years “The meeting of ago the CongregaIN 1915 tional church held last night ratified the judgment of the building committee and architect in the selection of a site for the new parish house, and decided that it should be built upon the south side of the church at 925 Vermont, abutting and opening into the south tower. The present spiral staircase will be supplanted by a straight staircase to be used to ascend to the upper levels of both buildings. In the rear of the tower there will be an open areaway extending the entire length of the main church building, between it and the parish house. The parish house is to cost $15,000, and is expected to be a model of convenience. It will be of brick, color and style to harmonize in the last degree with the main building, of which it will in fact become a part.” “‘The Fixer,’ a photoplay comedy, will be given at the Bowersock tomorrow night as a benefit for the University W. S. G. A. The K. U. date rule will be off, and the entire student body is expected to flock downtown for the festivities. The proceeds of the entertainment will go toward the Women’s Student Government Association Scholarship fund.” “The Haskell Indians will abandon open style football for the present season at least and use the good old fashioned line smash, according to an announcement made recently by Coach Bert Kennedy. The announcement came as a surprise for open football with its long sensational forward passes proved no small item in the success of the winning Haskell elevens of 1911-12-13. Why Kennedy has given up this style of football for the present season is not known, but is probably because of the few old stars back at the Indian school this season. Open play football requires several really good players like Powell, Flood, and Jamison to be really a great success and this material Kennedy does not possess this season.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

ANKARA , TURKEY Thousands of mourners flooded the streets of Turkey’s capital on Sunday, a day after twin explosions killed at least 95 people and injured hundreds of others in the deadliest terrorist assault ever carried out on Turkish soil. The mood was tense during the largely peaceful gathering, as demonstrators alternated between grief for lost loved ones and anger toward Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his government, which many believe could have done more to prevent the attacks. The crowd chanted slogans including “we want justice” and “Erdogan is a thief and a murderer,” as some mourners carried photographs of victims. Riot police and water cannon vehicles surrounded the rally but remained in the distance. On Sunday, the government, which denies involvement in the blasts, said it has appointed two chief civil inspectors and two chief police inspectors to investigate the bombings, which wounded at least 246 people, according to the prime minister’s office. Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu suggested the attack could have been carried out by the extremist Islamic State, Kurdish militants or radical leftist groups. Earlier, police used teargas to stop people bearing carnations in memory of those who lost their lives from entering the site of the blasts. About 70 people were eventually allowed to enter the cordoned-off area outside the main train station, the Associated Press

Saturday’s attack, during a peace rally near Ankara’s central train station, sent shockwaves across the country. The blasts, which came just seconds apart shortly after 10 a.m., happened when hundreds of demonstrators — many of them supporters of the HDP — had gathered to protest escalating violence between Turkish security forces and Kurdish separatist insurgents. “This is as close as it gets to being Turkey’s 9/11,” said Soner Cagaptay, director of the Turkish research program at the Washington Institute for Near East

As he tries to increase the minimum wage, ensure paycheck fairness and provide paid time off for American workers, President Obama is turning to an arcane but powerful tool: the power of the purchaser. If there’s one industry that’s been disproportionately impacted by President Obama’s executive orders, it’s federal government contractors. Since becoming president, Obama has signed at least 15 executive orders and presidential memoranda aimed at contractors, dictating their hiring and firing practices, compensation policies and working conditions. The orders also require contractors to meet enerWASHINGTON

President Obama has taken his executive power as purchaser further than his predecessors. gy efficiency goals, prohibit human trafficking and other exploitative hiring practices, and ban texting while driving. Buyers have always used their ability to buy in bulk to leverage a better deal, and the federal govern-
ment has more purchasing power than any other buyer in the world, awarding more than $445 billion in contracts in fiscal year 2014. With his executive orders, Obama is using the government’s buying power not just to get a
better deal for the taxpayer, but also to set economic and social policy on minimum wage, paid leave and paycheck fairness — issues the Republican-controlled Congress has not acted on. The White House is hoping that the orders send a message to the economy at large, and have an effect far beyond the public sector. “When the president issues an executive order, it reinforces that we care,” said Anne Rung, administrator of the White House’s Office of Federal Procurement Policy. “That kind of statement can not only drive greater economies and efficiency in the federal government, it can have a trickledown or multiplier effect on the economy at large.” But critics of Obama’s aggressive use of the executive order say the actions will kill off small businesses and may be unconstitutional. “It’s completely in line with his sort of pen-and-phone philosov STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Oregon legalizes pot and nobody cares Trevor Hughes USA TODAY
PORTLAND, ORE . What if we legalized marijuana and no one really cared? That’s the overwhelming feeling I get standing inside Zion Cannabis in downtown Portland as customers buy marijuana from the friendly staff five days after legalized marijuana legislation went into effect Oct. 1. No muss, no fuss. Oregon is the third American state to legalize recreational marijuana sales, following neighboring Washington, where legal pot debuted in the summer of 2014, and Colorado, where cannabis has been legal since Jan. 1, 2014. Hardly anyone is paying attention. In contrast, the start of Colorado’s legal sales — the first ever in the USA — drew international notoriety. Media organizations descended upon Denver to report on the long lines, tight supply and temporarily high prices. Late-night comedians joked about Denver truly becoming the Mile High City and how everyone in Colorado was Rocky Mountain High. I began to grouse about all the marijuanarelated conversations I kept having with tourists. Washington got a lot less press when legal sales began. And nearly two years after Colorado started the trend, the wider

Effective Oct. 1, Oregon became the third state to legalize recreational marijuana sales. world’s response to Oregon’s legalization feels a lot like “meh.” There has been little national coverage and even less international coverage. Not that Oregonians are indifferent. They bought $11 million worth of pot during the first seven days of legalization, according to the Oregon Retail Cannabis Association, dwarfing the early sales in Washington. “It’s a fun kind of experience,” said Stephanie Hess, 22, after buying a small amount of marijuana at Zion. “It’s awesome to have informed people” to answer

dustry, all the attention that gets paid to the notion of legal pot has often struck me as disingenuous. That’s because marijuana is the most widely used illegal substance in the country. It’s no coincidence that the first three states to legalize recreational marijuana use started by legalizing medical marijuana. Over the years, marijuana advocates have made no secret of their “camel’s nose” approach: By cracking the door to medical use and demonstrating that adults can use marijuana safely, pro-legalization groups laid the
groundwork for looser laws. Those looser laws haven’t changed life or culture much in Colorado and Washington and are unlikely to do so in Oregon. Are there fears about potential upticks in youth use? Absolutely. Are there concerns some people have ingested too much and needed to be hospitalized? Sure. But there has been no apocalypse. By and large, life in Colorado is pretty much the same as it was prelegalized pot. The next big test for legalizing marijuana will come in California in 2016. If legalization passes in America’s most populous state, more than a sixth of the nation’s population would live where recreational marijuana is legal. That sure starts to feel like an unstoppable trend. Of course, this could all change significantly if Americans elect a president opposed to legalization. But here’s the thing: All three states with legal marijuana sales (plus Alaska and the District of Columbia, which have legalized pot use but not selling it) have seen voters make that decision. It wasn’t a mandate by the Supreme Court. Outsiders didn’t make them do it. No, they chose it, and it’s certainly starting to feel like really not that big of a deal. As I stand here in yet another marijuana store, watching customers come and go, I can’t get a line from The Hollow Men by T.S.

Steve Chabot, R-Ohio, the chairman of the House Small Business Committee. “The shame of it is that the people who are going to suffer are small businesses and families all across this country. The large corporations will find a way to deal with these new rules and regulations. ... Hiring a few more lawyers or accountants to deal with these things is not a huge deal for them.” Rung said the Obama administration is working with small businesses to reduce the burden, and has also made strides in making contracts more efficient by consolidating them throughout government. That allows the government to insist on higher standards and still save money, she said. “In the end, you can’t always put a dollar figure on helping to advance human dignity fairness and safety in the workplace, as we’re doing though many of these executive orders.” The use of executive orders on contracting to shape social policy goes back to President Franklin Roosevelt, who banned racial discrimination in war production in 1941.

Last year, Obama added sexual orientation and gender identity to that line of executive orders. “Federal procurement is a powerful weapon by which American presidents attempt to expand their power and shape public policy in areas in which Congress has not acted or will not act,” argues Daniel Gitterman, a professor of public policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in an article in Presidential Studies Quarterly. Obama is no different, he said. “My sense is that he has clearly taken an interest in this particular tool,” Gitterman said. And with Congress safely in Republican hands for most of the remainder of his presidency, “you’ll probably see a spike now in terms of using that strategy.” Obama has also taken his executive power as purchaser further than his predecessors.

And then there’s the most controversial of the Obama contract-

Because the government can consider allegations of violations, businesses argue that the executive order deprives them of due process. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce also argues that some of the orders violate the separation of powers because Congress

The missile system, known as “Emad,” was designed and built in Iran, but the report did not elaborate on the range of the missile or the specifics of the test. “To follow our defense programs, we don’t ask permission from anyone,” Iranian Defense Minister Brig.

passed the 1949 Procurement Act to ensure greater efficiency, while the orders impose additional rules “in pursuit of non-procurement objectives.” Rung says the Obama administration has had extensive consultations with businesses to make sure the rules implementing the orders can work. “When we do these executive orders, we do extensive outreach to industry even prior to developing a proposed rule,” she said. That’s too late, said Stan Soloway of the Professional Services Council, a trade group of government contractors. “Executive orders are not by their nature consultative,” he said. “Once the executive order comes out, the implementing rules have to adhere to the letter of the executive order. So you don’t get flexibility.” Some contracting regulations go back and forth depending on the party in power. President George H.W. Bush signed an executive order in 1992 requiring contractors to notify employees that they didn’t have to join a union to keep their jobs. Clinton revoked that order shortly after his election, George W. Bush reinstated it, and Obama revoked it again. Similarly, if a Republican is elected president next year, “my guess is that a number of these Obama ones will get reversed rather quickly,” Gitterman said. Corrections & Clarifications

Ryan has the votes, does he want the job? Scramble for speaker reveals the influence of Tea Party allies Susan Page @SusanPage USA TODAY
The head of the House Freedom Caucus that helped upend last week’s planned choice of a new speaker predicted Sunday members of the rebellious group would “look favorably” on Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan for the top job. Ryan also won praise from more centrist representatives and even from a congressman who has announced his own campaign for speaker. Yet the 45-year-old chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, who spent the weekWASHINGTON
end with his family in Janesville, Wis., remained mum on whether he was willing to accept a role he had previously rejected. The public courting of Ryan spotlighted the search by House Republicans to regain their footing after Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., unexpectedly withdrew his name from contention at a session that was expected to choose him to succeed Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Still, demands by Tea Partyaligned forces in the House for more decentralized power and confrontational tactics by GOP leaders were still in evidence. “If he gets in the race, I think our group would look favorably on him,” Rep. Jim Jordan, ROhio, chairman of the Freedom Caucus, said on Fox News Sunday. He called Ryan a “great communicator” and “the kind of messen-

ger our party needs.” The caucus, which has about 40 members, officially has endorsed Rep. Daniel Webster, R-Fla., for speaker. On ABC’s This Week, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, who is running for speaker, called Ryan “a visionary” who “understand the institution.” On CNN’s State of the Union, Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., an ally of Boehner, said he hoped Ryan would decide to run. And Rep. Mick Mulvaney, RS.C., a member of the Freedom Caucus, urged Ryan to accept the job. “Sometimes you just need to do it, right?” he said on CBS’ Face the Nation. “The country needs you. The party needs you.” He said Ryan went “right to the head of the list” of those who could unite warring Republicans. But in a sign of the challenges involved, Mulvaney also said the
deadline to raise the debt ceiling early next month should be used as an opportunity to reduce spending. The deadline to fund the federal government looms in December. Ryan, who was the GOP nominee for vice president in 2012, has said he wants to focus on the Ways and Means Committee, include a possible overhaul of the tax code, and has expressed concerns about the demands on his family if he were speaker. He has three school-age children. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, speculated about whether his protestations about not wanting the job were real. “I think he doesn’t want it very badly, but you never know,” Trump said on Face the Nation. “Maybe he’s playing one of the great games of all time.”
Q&A
Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY
An Israeli airstrike on a home in Gaza killed a pregnant Palestinian woman and her 2-year-old child Sunday, a Gazan official said, as weeks of violence between Israel and Palestinians escalated from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip. Israel’s military said it carried out airstrikes in Gaza targeting Hamas weapons manufacturing facilities in response to renewed rocket fire toward Israel, the Associated Press reported. Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Kidra said Noor Hassan, 30, and her toddler daughter were killed in a strike. He said four others were wounded, including Hassan’s husband and son, the AP reported. In the West Bank, a Palestinian woman was critically injured after a bomb detonated in her car after she left the vehicle, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. He said a police officer was slightly injured in the attack. It was the first use of explosives in the current round of violence, which has mainly been confined to stabbings and shootings. Saturday, two knife-wielding Palestinians were shot dead by police during separate attacks in Jerusalem and two others died during demonstrations near a Gaza border fence. Addressing his Cabinet Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country was fighting a “wave of terror” fueled by “systematic, untrue incitement” by the Palestinian Au-

thority in the West Bank and the Islamic Movement in Israel. He said he will hold consultations to discuss sanctions against the Islamic Movement, which runs education and religious services for Arab citizens of Israel. He said the Islamic Movement, along with Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, is responsible for “spreading lies” about Israel’s supposed intentions regarding a holy site in Jerusalem that is sacred to Muslims and Jews, and singled out an Arab lawmaker — Hanin Zoabi — who he said called on worshipers to ascend to the site to prevent an “Israeli plot of bloodletting of east Jerusalem residents,” according to the news agency. Netanyahu said it amounted to incitement to violence and that he asked the attorney general to open a criminal investigation against Zoabi, the AP reported. Hamas, branded a terrorist group by Israel and the United States, governs Gaza.
The horrific suicide bombings that killed 95 people at a peace rally in the Turkish capital on Saturday showcase a growing crisis for a crucial U.S. ally in a region that’s on fire over conflicts that have proven too divisive and complex to resolve. The United States has long looked toward Turkey as a rock in a storm because of its strategic location — bridging Europe and Asia and sharing borders with Syria and Iraq. In Syria, civil war rages into its fifth year, and the rampaging Islamic State has seized large portions of both Syria and Iraq. Not far beyond Turkey’s borders new violence spreads among West Bank and Gaza Palestinians. The following are four questions about the rifts revealed by Saturday’s explosions outside a train station in Ankara: WHO WOULD CARRY OUT SUCH AN ATTACK AND WHY?
No one has claimed responsibility, but there is no shortage of suspects. Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said it was Kurdish separatist rebels or Islamic State militants, both recent targets of Turkish military strikes. Leaders of the largely Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party or HDP — which rocked Turkey in June by capturing enough votes to gain a bloc of seats in parliament — are suspicious of the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for failing to prevent the massacre. Even the Syrian government would have a motive for destabi-
Erdogan has for four years worked to consolidate power, suppress political freedoms and transform Turkey from a secular to an Islamic nation. With a parliamentary super-majority he could push through necessary constitutional changes. But those plans were dashed by the June election results, which failed to give Erdogan the mandate he sought. Instead, the results showed the Kurds a peaceful avenue of influence through democratic rather than violent means. Machinations by Erdogan has produced a second round of voting on Nov. 1, Cook said. But surveys show the Kurdish HDP party likely will repeat its gains in June, and Erdogan’s opposition fears a campaign of intimidation by the government in response. WHAT’S AT STAKE FOR TURKEY IN THE SHORT TERM?

lizing a neighboring giant that has called for the removal of Syrian President Bashar Assad. “The Turks have threats coming at them from multiple directions at a level of political complexity,” said Steven Cook, an expert on Turkish politics at the Council on Foreign Relations. WHY IS THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT A TARGET OF SUSPICION IN THE WAKE OF THE BLASTS?
There’s fear of growing instability in a nation of 80 million that is a NATO member. If the government holds Kurdish rebels responsible for the bombings and the HDP is routed at the polls Nov. 1, it “would send a message to predominantly Kurds: you have played by the rules ... (but) you are not actually welcome to play politics,” Cook said. Analysts worry that if Erdogan sees himself once again likely to be denied a super-majority, he will postpone the elections or suspend the constitution — steps further polarizing the nation. Meanwhile, Kurdish successes against the Islamic State are heightening fears among Turkish nationalists of growing Kurdish power to carve out an independent state. WHY IS TURKEY SO IMPORTANT TO THE U.S.?
Turkey has struggled to control its borders with Syria, allowing jihadist recruits from western countries a pathway to join the Islamic State and, in turn, providing the terrorists a way West. The U.S. has a direct interest in seeing stability for its ally, but it also has a desire to see rights of peaceful protesters safeguarded. “I think in this case, our strategic interests in the region ... and our commitment to democracy are probably on a head-on collision course,” said Elizabeth Shakman Hurd, an associate professor of political science at Northwestern University.

Randall Layton hadn’t captured a live turkey for years, at least since he was a child attending Yellville’s annual Turkey Trot. But this weekend, Layton said he was a lucky man. The 38-year-old Yellville resident was one of the first to catch a turkey over the weekend during the annual Turkey Trot festival. The turkey was one of at least half a dozen that came from the sky, from what many know now as “The Phantom Pilot.” The return of the unknown pilot and the turkey release helped celebrate Turkey Trot’s 70th year in Yellville. “It felt really neat. I’m glad they’re still doing this,” Layton said. “It’s a neat tradition.” Thousands watched as the Phantom Pilot reappeared over the city in a private airplane with several turkeys in tow. One by one, turkeys glided toward the ground as the crowd cheered. Dozens of people, like Layton, chased after each turkey in hopes of a successful capture. Some turkeys perched on the nearest tree branch; others made it to the ground. Festival officials said it had been at least six years since a plane had re-

Volkswagen may suffer more losses amid its diesel-emissions scandal. It now faces a lawsuit in Texas.
TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL SUES VOLKSWAGEN The fallout from Volkswagen’s emissions tests rigging scandal just took a turn for the worse, thanks to a lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The lawsuit, against VW and Audi of America, cites breaches of the state’s consumer protection law. Separately, Paxton filed a suit alleging that VW violated Texas clean-air laws. The German carmaker admitted to rigging 482,000 diesel-powered cars in the U.S. to beat emissions tests, which has led to a criminal probe and questions over the company’s future. Other states’ attorneys general are believed to be taking a hard look at VW’s violations as well. SOUTHWEST AIRLINES SUFFERS FROM TECH GLITCH About 300 Southwest Airlines flights were delayed early Sunday because of what the company attributed to a technology glitch. The airline said it is experiencing “intermittent technology issues on Southwest.com, the Southwest mobile app, and in reservations centers and airports across our system,” it said in a statement. The airline asked that fliers arrive at least two hours before their scheduled departures to help minimize delays. DISH REACHES DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH TEGNA Satellite broadcaster Dish Network reached a multiyear distribution agreement with TV station operator TEGNA on Sunday, ending a two-day blackout. On Friday, TEGNA pulled signals of 46 TV stations it operates from reaching Dish customers because of a contract dispute. TEGNA is the largest independent operator of NBC and CBS affiliates, putting Dish customers at risk of missing popular Sunday National Football League games. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. GLOBAL PC SALES DECLINE IN THIRD QUARTER Despite the continuing global decline in PC sales, Apple’s Macintosh computers increased its market share in the U.S. during the third quarter of 2015, industry analysts say. Worldwide shipments of nearly 71 million PCs in July-September were about 10% lower than the same period last year — and slightly lower than the 9% decline estimated, according to IDC (International Data Corp.). But in the U.S., PC shipments rose 1.3% with Apple, the No. 3 PC maker, increasing its market share to about 15%, Gartner says. HP and Dell were Nos. 1 and 2 at 28% and 24%. FRIDAY MARKETS INDEX

A simmering battle among California’s marijuana legalization advocates has come to a head now that Gov. Jerry Brown has signed three laws laying the groundwork for legal recreational pot next year. It’s a topic that’s attracted the financial backing of some of tech’s best-known and wealthiest founders, such as Napster co-founder and Facebook investor Sean Parker, and they’re expected to jump into the ring this time, too. Brown approved legislation Friday night creating very basic marijuana regulations in the state, where recreational marijuana remains illegal. While the legislation ostensibly applies only to medical marijuana, it also lays the groundwork for the regulation of recreational marijuana, which is expected to be legalized during California’s 2016 election, when one or more ballot initiatives on legal pot are likely. The specific language of the expected ballot initiatives matters significantly. If it’s at odds with what Brown is expected to sign, legalization efforts could be delayed while conflicts get resolved. “What happens if the ballot initiative passes and it’s contrary to what the governor signs?” asked Eddie Miller, the CEO of InvestInCannabis.com. “That’s where all the drama lies.” The legislation Brown passed creates a framework similar to that used to produce, distribute and sell alcohol in California. But some cannabis advocates want to see the state retain more elements of its current medical marijuana system, with its non-profit co-operatives and almost total lack of state oversight.

TECH MONEY BACKING
Many tech investors who see legal cannabis as inevitable, support more corporate-friendly regulations, and a structure that includes a relatively small number of privately owned distribution companies and a scalable business model. Among those pushing the corporate-friendly regulations are Sean Parker, an early investor in Facebook and Napster, Miller said. Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz also is passionate about the debate, and donated money back in 2010 to the failed California effort to legalize the leaf. And Peter Thiel, one of the founders of PayPal, has invested millions through his Founders Fund in Privateer Holdings, the

More tech industry leaders take investment roles and support legalization of marijuana “There’s a lot of egos and a lot of capital in medical marijuana. You’re seeing the same in recreational marijuana.” Derek Peterson, the CEO of cannabis company Terra Tech
Many longtime cannabis farmers in the state’s Emerald Triangle around Mendocino — who don’t currently pay taxes or face government scrutiny — generally prefer less regulation and more independence to strike their own deals with stores, Miller said. California’s largely unregulated medical marijuana environment is a testament to the state’s sheer size and number of competing interests, said Derek Peterson, the CEO of cannabis company Terra Tech, which operates in both California and Nevada. He said current players have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo for medical marijuana and mirroring that system for recreational pot. “There’s a lot of egos and a lot of capital in medical marijuana. You’re seeing the same in recreational marijuana,” Peterson said. “We know the voters want it. It’s just a matter of getting everybody’s interests aligned.” Conflicts amongst advocacy groups are nothing new. But the intersection of money, marijuana and the state’s high-profile tech culture is drawing attention. “Every group has their own opinion, and some groups have pollsters and they rely on those pollsters too much,” said Steve Fox, the executive director of the national Council on Responsible Cannabis Regulation. Fox said the ballot language will also determine whether anyone can grow small amounts of marijuana in their homes, like in Colorado, or if growing will be restricted solely to licensed farmers, as in Washington state. He said polling data shows voter will likely approve whatever they’re asked to consider, making the specific language more important. “Anyone could run the campaign and win,” Fox said, “if the language is reasonable.” Contributing: Marco della Cava
General Motors tries to out-Google Google Michael Wolff
@MichaelWolffNYC Michael@burnrate.com USA TODAY
The bogeyman in C-suites everywhere is Google. With its leaps of innovation, efficiency, scale and esprit de corps, Google is on the march MEDIA in ever greater parts of the economy: finance, retail, communication, transportation. Putting aside the fact that Google has succeeded only as a directory publisher and volume seller of low-cost advertising, it is reorganizing itself into a new company, Alphabet, to maximize its ability to grow more Google-like companies that might disrupt and challenge the corporate world’s lack of gumption and imagination. Quite out of character, General Motors announced that it is ready and willing to rise to that challenge. Mary Barra, CEO of the most traditional of automakers, that most traditional of industries, announced last week that GM would go head to head with Google and Apple — itself locked in a war with Google — in the development of self-driving cars and a variety of other urban-mobility initiatives. Undoubtedly, this is a changethe-subject moment for GM. The once-invincible company (arguably the Google of its era) has
weathered several generations of bad news, including vast erosion of its market, bankruptcy and bailout. GM has dealt for nearly two years with an ignition switch scandal that killed at least 100 people. For Barra, who became the industry’s first woman CEO in early 2014, the jump into selfdriving cars is an effort at restarting her GM era. In a cynical world — and in what other world do car companies operate (hello, Volkswagen)? It’s savvy to embrace a technology and product line that does not yet exist. If Google can receive vast amounts of awestruck publicity and mega-goodwill by promising a product that no obvious logic says it is capable of delivering, why not GM? There is hardly a safer product to offer than one that has never existed; any version, or promise of a version, is a step forward. That has long been a key part of the Google marketing mythology. It isn’t a directory company, but a company that is going to make everything better, eventually. That’s a view, however fanciful or disprovable, that has seriously impacted the fortunes and selfconfidence of non-Silicon Valley corporate America, ever anticipating Google’s inevitable disruption of its business. A great part of the value of Silicon Valley share prices resides in the fantasy of what is to come — even if it never quite comes. (Google’s constant promises and low rate of delivery have more recently resulted in the share-price skepticism that has led to the reorganization,

which will give shareholders a greater view of the progress of these promises.) GM’s gambit might be seen not only as its own short-term PR move to talk about something other than ignition switches, but much more significantly, it’s the first time traditional corporate America has called phooey on Silicon Valley’s exclusive ability to deliver the future. Barra’s chutzpah may represent an industrial and psychological nexus. In the current mindset, all businesses exist on a spectrum, and digital businesses, grown and funded in Silicon Valley, necessarily represent a vastly more advanced point on this line to the future. Looked at that way, they are untouchable. The Barra gambit says the opposite: Silicon Valley doesn’t represent the future so much as just the competition. Why should Google be better positioned to develop a driverless car than GM? Though Google may have advantages — including not being GM — GM quite clearly has some
advantages in the development and manufacturing of cars. Why, in other words, should tech companies claim the future merely on the basis of their ability to produce technology — which, after all, is a buyable commodity? Physically moving people around might well be an ideal challenge in which to test the limits of Silicon Valley’s claim on doing everything better. A demographic, generational and ecological shift is creating a growing demand for a relationship to automobiles. A suburban auto model is at odds with an urban one. Car ownership is a changing priority. Traffic is an existential crisis. The Uber message is not that advanced tech causes disruption, but rather that lowlevel tech — an app — can do it. That is, anybody can do it. The mobility revolution is potentially as large as the information revolution — its disruption and growth potential as large as it was in the three generations after World War II. That is, as large as any economic event in history. And it is a leap far from just technological. It involves physical infrastructure, manpower, regulation, public investment and real human risk. It’s a new, competitive world, which, to little argument, Silicon Valley has cunningly claimed as its own. Though it is far from clear that GM will lead the driverless future, Barra’s news release countering all of Google’s news releases is a good reminder that Google’s free ride on the future awaits disruption.

The Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel’s On Sunset restaurant in Los Angeles still serves a traditional breakfast with full service.
Power breakfast, the most productive meal of the day Hotels offer business meetings with a side of eggs and coffee Nancy Trejos USA TODAY
T
he power breakfast keeps gathering steam. Hotels across the country cater to travelers and locals who want to conduct business over eggs and coffee. They try to appeal to the lucrative business clientele by offering free Wi-Fi, USB ports, healthier breakfast items and private areas for morning meetings. Loews Hotels and Resorts, which started the power breakfast tradition at its Loews Regency in New York City in 1975, will offer a version at its new Loews Regency San Francisco early next year. The new Knickerbocker Hotel in New York City touts itself as the power breakfast destination in Times Square. Its restaurant, Charlie Palmer at the Knick, is designed with chain mail partitions to provide privacy for meetings. Coffee, pastries and juices are delivered in a breakfast caddie with a charging port that fits most USB devices. At TRIO at the Four Seasons Hotel Austin, nearly 40% of midweek breakfast comes from local professionals and politicians, and the lounge is often filled with
people waiting for their host to finish a first breakfast meeting and move on to a second one. About 40% of hotel guests travel for business, according to the American Hotel and Lodging Association, making them a lucrative group of people to appeal to. Many businesspeople say morning meetings are more effective. “I prefer to conduct major meetings and discussions during early morning hours,” says Fred Mwangaguhunga, a media entrepreneur whose go-to breakfast spot is the Breslin at the Ace Hotel in New York. “This allows you to be the first thing the person you’re meeting with will digest and think about. The mind is fresh and at its peak in the earlier hours of the day.” The term “power breakfast” was coined by Preston Robert Tisch, who co-founded the Loews hotel chain and was a longtime chairman of the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau. Tisch and city leaders needed a place to gather for breakfast to discuss ways to save the city from bankruptcy. “They said, ‘where should we meet?’ and my father, being generous — and I will say a little selfish, said, ‘We have a dining room in the hotel. Let’s just meet there, and all I have to do is take the elevator down,’ ” his son Jonathan Tisch, chairman of Loews Hotels, recalls. From 1975 on, the Loews dining room was packed each morning with politicians, celebri-
ties, socialites and business leaders. On a recent Monday, Tisch spotted House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., having breakfast at the hotel. What makes a good power breakfast? “It really is the mix of people plus good service and good food,” Tisch says. “You need to be atten-

Tisch moved the power breakfast to a nearby restaurant, but other hotels in New York saw the opportunity to start promoting their own power breakfasts. The idea has spread outside New York. At the newly revamped Carlyle Dupont, a Kimpton property in Washington, D.C., the Riggsby restaurant was designed with the business traveler in mind. The restaurant offers Wi-Fi and outlets at each of the bar seats. Dining room booths are spaced in a way to allow for private conversations. The décor was inspired by
mid-century supper clubs. “The environment is subdued, we’ve got nice big tables for people to work, it’s well-lit and comfortable,” general manager Daniel Lobsenz says. The restaurant has become popular with embassy employees, government workers and politicians. Across the country, the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel’s On Sunset restaurant in Los Angeles is often filled with celebrities and studio executives in the morning. “A lot of hotels have gone to grab-and-go breakfast, and we still have the traditional restaurant with tables and chairs that allow people to dine,” says Michael Lorenz, senior vice president of sales and marketing for the hotel. “Grab-and-go is great, but then they’re not giving people an option to sit and talk. They assume the guest wants to leave, but people still want to meet at 8 or 8:30.” Breakfast is the most popular meal at most Omni Hotels and Resorts, says Ann Tramer Brownlee, Omni’s vice president for corporate communication. “I like meeting when people are at their freshest, and unencumbered by surprises or stresses that rise later in the day,” she says. “Things have a tendency to slide uphill, meaning, as issues arise throughout the day there is more work to complete in a short window of afternoon time. Mentally, there’s something liberating about having a power breakfast.”
A cure for the upselling epidemic Christopher Elliott Special for USA TODAY
Airlines do it by quietly restricting the terms on their tickets. Cruise lines resort to good old-fashioned salesmanship. And ON TRAVEL the entire travel inEVERY dustry does it better, MONDAY thanks to sophisticated software. It’s called the “upsell” — and yes, it’s completely out of control. The travel industry is addicted to the money it makes from selling you extras after you’ve made a booking. The airline industry collected a cool $38 billion from “optional” items such as checked luggage last year, up 21% from 2013. You have the power to stop this nonsense now. For example, if you’re looking for the lowest fare on Delta Air Lines, you might find one of its new, highly restrictive economyclass fares. No changes, refunds or upgrades are allowed with these new tickets, nor can you make advance seat reservations. A decade ago, these same kind of tickets would have come with a seat assignment, two checked bags and the ability to change a reservation. By adding onerous restrictions

A cruise can bring a barrage of upsells, from drinks in souvenir glasses to art auctions, spa services and premium meals. to its economy-class ticket, the airline stands to earn more from those who must buy a new ticket if their plans change or who have to pay for a checked bag, says Tim Leffel, the author of The World’s Cheapest Destinations. Want more flexibility? Pay more. “The act of buying a plane ticket is an exercise in upselling gone amok,” he says. This is by no means just an airline problem. Tanner Callais, a cruise industry observer who runs the blog GalvestonCruise Tips.com, says cruise lines are no longer content to just sell you a ticket. They start upselling you before you book your vacation by offering upgrades to a higherclass cabin, cleverly breaking the price down into a “by day” rate so it’s easier to swallow. Once on
board, it’s a barrage of upsells, from drinks in souvenir glasses to art auctions, spa services and premium restaurant meals. “Sometimes it really feels like the entire point of a cruise is to bring you on board to hit you with sales pitches for a week straight,” he says. If you feel you’re the target of an aggressive upsell, you probably are. “More and more, we are asked to increase revenues with more creative efforts,” says Michael Maven, a London-based consultant for Carter & Kingsley, a consulting firm. His travel industry clients like to create systems for adding on purchases. “So for example, once a customer has purchased the core product, we would ask them if they were interested in the up-
graded version of what they have bought,” he explains. It could include touting the “benefits” of a loyalty card or the savings they’d get by participating in a loyalty program. There’s no doubt that extra revenue is good for travel companies. But is it good for you? In most instances, the upsold items were amenities that the company should have included as part of the purchase price, such as the ability to check a bag, have lunch or use a toll tag on a rental car. The methods used to sell them, which seem increasingly desperate, are laughable and at times even unbelievable. Consider what happened to Norissa Tworkowski on a recent flight from Washington to Fort Lauderdale. First, the crew turned the air conditioning “down very low,” remembers Tworkowski, who works for the federal government. “Passengers around me were complaining about how freezing cold it was,” she recalls. “About two minutes after the AC was blasted, there was an announcement that blankets are available — for $5.” How do you stop the insanity? With one word: “No.” That’s what Tworkowski did. “I chose to remain cold as a matter of principle,” she says. Elliott is a consumer advocate and editor at large for National Geographic Traveler.
Q: What is the best example of great emergency airmanship you have heard about on a commercial flight? — Submitted by reader Pat Henry, ASK THE CAPTAIN Washington A: That is a hard question. The crew of United 232 that landed the DC-10 with no hydraulics would be contenders, as would the crew of the DHL A300 that took a missile strike after taking off from Baghdad, sustained major damage and still landed safely. Q: Was the landing on the Hudson River as astounding as it seemed? Could others do what Capt. Sullenberger did? — Daniel Highland, Oregon House, Calif. A: Capt. Sullenberger and the crew of US Airways 1549 did a great job dealing with a very intense emergency. I would expect other crews would have done a similar job. Airline crews are very well-trained, and there are some very talented aviators flying. I hope none ever has to face similar circumstances. Q: Haynes vs. Sullenberger? — C T Bevan, Ellensburg, Wash. A: Al Haynes, the captain of United 232, landed his DC-10 with no hydraulic power and with one engine inoperative. The airplane was considered to be unflyable, yet the crew managed to get it to touch down in Sioux City, Iowa. Sully Sullenberger lost both engines because of bird strikes and landed his A320 in the Hudson. He and Jeff Skiles, the first officer, applied their training, skill and airmanship to land the crippled airliner successfully. There is not a comparison between the two. They are both examples of the professionals who fly. Neither captain expected to face such catastrophic emergencies, but both were able to deal with them when they occurred. The training of professional pilots gave them the tools, their skill and poise gave them the good results. Cox is a retired airline captain and runs an aviation safety consulting company
How to avoid the upsell uLearn to spot it. Upsells are everywhere, and the tactics travel companies use are more aggressive than ever. Sometimes they’re subtle, but often they are in your face. One discount carrier tries to sell you assigned seats by generating a pop-up on its site, warning that you could be separated from your loved ones on the plane if you don’t pony up the cash for a seat. That’s an upsell. uRun a worst-case scenario. What if you refuse? For the seat-assignment upsell, it’s not as bad as they make it look. If you’re traveling with young kids, they’ll probably find a way for you to sit together anyway. Or if you’re someone like Tworkowski, you’ll just be cold for a little while. uSay “no” — and let them know why. The upsell is successful only when it works. If enough people tell an airline, car rental company or cruise line that they’re not buying it, then it will stop. But it’s not enough to say “no.” You have to let the company know you’re not interested and why.

There is a revealing moment in Steve Jobs when the iconoclastic Apple co-founder explains how he can perfect such world-altering products and yet still clearly struggle with people. “I’m poorly made,” says Jobs, portrayed by Michael Fassbender. Even amid the whirlwind 182page Aaron Sorkin screenplay, Fassbender recalls the telling line highlighting the central conflict in the Danny Boyledirected film, which opened in New York and Los Angeles over the weekend to critical adulation and awards discussion. “Steve Jobs tried to make products that are not poorly made, but maybe that was to make up for his own shortcomings,” Fassbender says. “All of his energy goes into his work, these products he’s creat-
UNIVERSAL
‘POORLY MADE’ MAN, BRILLIANT PRODUCTS ing, while his own life suffers.” Sorkin agrees that the line is “pivotal” in the screenplay, based on Walter Isaacson’s best-selling authorized biography of the same name. It was published days after Jobs’ death in 2011. “My hypothesis going into this was that deep down, Steve believed himself to be kind of an irreparably damaged person, unworthy of being liked or loved,” Sorkin says. “But he had enormous talent and ability to make products. Or wrangle the people who make products.” That approach has brought Steve Jobs attention and controversy as it opens through Oct. 23. Steve Jobs experienced turmoil during production. Director David Fincher dropped out, and Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio both withdrew. Steve Jobs’ widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, reportedly lobbied to stop the film, and Jobs’ successor, Tim Cook, called it “opportunistic.” “Steve Jobs is a huge public figure who’s had an enormous influence on our lives. It’s necessary that these people are not just deified,” Boyle says. The uncompromising Jobs is

Jobs’ intimates. “With maybe two exceptions, those were all my creations,” Sorkin says. “(Isaacson’s) job as a journalist was to be objective.
Mine was to be subjective, to come up with various hypotheses and dramatize them.” Boyle sees the work as an Impressionist-like portrait. “This is not about being a Steve Jobs documentary or the definitive word on him. It’s our version of him,” Boyle says. “(Sorkin) takes some of the facts and bases the drama on them and discards other facts. It’s an exploration of our version of Steve Jobs.” Through his flaws, Jobs’ humanity struggles to the surface. “I played him with the utmost respect. I never tried to play him as a cruel person but as somebody who was passionate about his vision,” Fassbender says. “He pushed for the best, sometimes to the breaking point. But when you’re changing the world in such Teutonic kind of way, then maybe that’s what is required.”

If this is Crazy, maybe the other networks need to go a little nuts. Considering what a non-starter the season has been so far, it’s not as if they have a TV lot to lose. There are PREVIEW a few time slot sucROBERT cesses, but no new BIANCO show has really broken through the cultural clutter — which is what you might expect when most of them either look like something you’re already watching or something you’ve already rejected. But not CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, (Monday, 8 p.m. ET/PT), fall’s best new series and easily its most unusual. A story of one obsessive woman’s unlikely search for love and happiness as told through song and dance, Crazy is an out-of-the-blue surprise and an out-of-the-box treasure. It shows what the networks can do when they’re willing to throw caution to the wind and turn to

Rebecca (Rachel Bloom, right), Paula (Donna Lynne Champlin) and a chorus of characters populate Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. something and someone new — in this case, star and writer Rachel Bloom and the show’s creator, Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada). Bloom plays Rebecca, a successful New York lawyer who finds herself fixating on the last time she was happy: as a teenager at summer camp, dating hunky young Josh (Vincent Rodriguez III). A chance encounter with Josh leads her to a not-exactly-inevitable conclusion: She must
uproot her life and follow him to West Covina, Calif. (“Only two hours from the beach — four in traffic.”) Don’t worry about remembering West Covina. The name will be seared into your brain by the end of the show’s first production number, a Disneyesque salute to small-town virtues that is both catchy and subversively funny, and which Bloom puts across like a seasoned musical pro. None of which, by the way, will come as a
surprise to those who know her as an Internet comedy-song sensation. Alas, West Covina is not exactly the paradise Rebecca had hoped for. True, there is the sweet bartender (Santino Fontana) who takes a shine to her. (“You’re pretty and you’re smart and you’re ignoring me, so you’re obviously my type.”) But there’s also her boss, who has a thing about Jews, and the firm’s head paralegal (Donna Lynne Champlin, who could be one of the year’s breakouts), determined to find out what Rebecca is hiding. Through it all, Bloom sparkles, alternately reasonable and clueless as she leads us to the show’s underlying universal truth: Love can be destabilizing. You’ll spot bits of Tina Fey in her performance, and some of Amy Schumer, particularly in the satirical “Sexy Getting Ready Song.” But the final blend is all Bloom’s. As with Rebecca, the road Bloom has chosen is a risky one. (Just ask the folks at Smash how hard it is to stage an original musical number every week.) But it seems to be a risk worth taking. And if that makes me crazy, so be it.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIOR FORWARD ASHLEY WILLIAMS, LEFT, GETS A SHOT ON GOAL OFF past Oklahoma freshman defender Paige Welch. Williams eventually scored the game-winner in KU’s 1-0 victory Sunday at Rock Chalk Park.
Williams atones for misses with winner By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com
Kansas University senior Ashley Williams knew she had missed two golden opportunities to give KU’s soccer team a first-half lead Sunday against Oklahoma, but she more than made up for it in the game’s closing minutes. Williams broke a scoreless tie in the 89th minute for her third goal of the season to help the Jayhawks slip by the Sooners, 1-0, at Rock Chalk Park. “I was pleased for Ashley,
because in the first couple minutes of the game, she probably had the best chance of the game,” KU coach Mark Francis said. “So for her to come back in the end and not look that frazzled was tremendous.” Williams was on the receiving end of two wellplayed through balls from senior midfielder Liana Salazar in the sixth and 21st minutes, but fired the first one wide right and did not to get a clean shot on the second chance. The senior forward from Albuquerque, New Mexico, had those missed opportuni-
ties in the back of her mind when she took a long pass from freshman Grace Hagan in the attacking third, and the third time was a charm for Williams, as she sent the ball past OU goalie Kassidie Stade from 10 yards out. “She (Salazar) had amazing passes to me early in the game, and I felt like I owed her a goal,” Williams said. “Her balls were on a platter to me, so I was glad I got to finish at the end.” While Hagan and Williams led Kansas offensively — combining for seven of the team’s 13 shots — sophomore
goalkeeper Maddie Dobyns and the KU backline held the fort defensively, with the Jayhawks’ fourth shutout in the last five games. Juniors Aurelie Gagnet and Morgan Williams and sophomore Kayla Morrison have settled in at their positions after there was some turnover on the backline during nonconference play. Dobyns made six saves, but still deflected much of the credit for the Jayhawks’ defensive success to the defenders in front of her. Please see SOCCER, page 3C
Mitch Lightfoot, a 6-foot-8 senior power forward from Gilbert (Arizona) Christian High, made his fifth and final recruiting visit — to the University of Arizona — over the weekend. The No. 117-rated player in the Class of 2016 (by Rivals.com) has now completed his five allotted trips to ’Zona, Kansas University, Utah, St. John’s and Stanford and is expected to announce his college choice soon. “It went really well,” Lightfoot told Zagsblog.com, of his visit to Arizona. “I’m going to take a week or so to decide where my future lies.” Lightfoot, who visited KU on Sept. 18-19, has made a number of unofficial visits to Arizona. Tucson.com indicates he attended the Sept. 26 Arizona-UCLA football game and “hung out with Stanley Johnson (of Detroit Pistons).” Perhaps helping KU is the fact Lightfoot was born in Kansas City, where he lived five years. He has family in the metro area and remains a KC Chiefs fan. He has also admitted to being a fan of both KU and Arizona basketball most of his life. “They (family in KC) just want me to be successful wherever I choose to go,” Lightfoot told Tucson.com. Lightfoot decommitted from New Mexico last April. Of his recruitment, he said: “I’m just enjoying the process and lucky to be enjoying the process. I’ve been to a lot of places I wouldn’t have been able to see if not for basketball.” The early signing period is Nov. 11-18. l

Logano snares critical victory Concord, N.C. (ap) — Joey Logano earned a critical win at Charlotte Motor Speedway to move into the third round of NASCAR’s playoffs on a sloppy day for some of the biggest contenders in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Logano raced to his fourth victory of the season and his first career win at Charlotte. It came in the opening race of the second round of the Chase and earned him the automatic berth into the next round. Logano made it to the finale last season, and like almost all of the 12 remaining drivers in the Chase, worried that this second round was the most daunting. The series races next week at Kansas and then four drivers will be eliminated Oct. 25 at Talladega. “It helps us sleep here the next couple of weeks,” the Team Penske driver said. “This helps us recharge our batteries and get ready for the next round.” Kevin Harvick, who routed the field last week at Dover to keep his title defense intact, finished second for the 11th time this season. He has been second to Logano three times, but considered it almost a victory because he felt the reigning Sprint Cup champions had struggled most of the weekend. “If those are the off days, we’ll be just fine,” Harvick said. Martin Truex Jr. finished third — his career-best eighth top-five of the season — but wasn’t breathing any easier about his Chase hopes. “Logano is the only one who is going to sleep the next few weeks,” Truex said. “We still think we need to win next week.” The top six finishers were Chase drivers as Denny Hamlin finished fourth and was followed by Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards. Austin Dillon, who is not racing for the title, was seventh. Jeff Gordon, making the final start of his career at Charlotte, struggled for the first half of the race but salvaged an eighth-place finish. Logano teammate Brad Keselowski staved off a loose wheel over the closing laps as Chase drivers took eight of the top nine spots.

UNITED STATES TEAM CAPTAIN JAY HAAS, LEFT, AND HIS SON BILL address a news conference after the U.S. defeated the International team 151⁄2 to 141⁄2 to retain the Presidents Cup on Sunday in Incheon, South Korea.
U.S. claims dramatic Presidents Cup victory Incheon, South Korea — The final hour when both teams thought they had it won. The clutch putt that turned a rookie into the hero. The stubbed chip that made the local star cover his face with both hands as if he wanted to hide. The Presidents Cup, packed with raw emotion and endless nerves, was unlike any other over the last 10 years. Except for the outcome. The Americans won for the sixth straight time Sunday when Chris Kirk made a 15-foot birdie putt to win his match in a stunning turnaround on the final hole, and Bill Haas provided a storybook ending with the winning point for his team and for his father. “A moment I’ll never forget,” U.S. captain Jay Haas said, so choked up when it ended that he couldn’t speak. Haas used a captain’s pick on his son, sent him off in the 12th and final singles match at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea and then saw Bill Haas hit all the right shots to hold off Sangmoon Bae for a 2-up victory. The 151⁄2-141⁄2 margin was the slimmest since the famous tie in South Africa in 2003. Not since 2005 has the Presidents Cup been decided by the final match. That’s what the International team wanted when it demanded the number of matches be reduced (from 34 to 30). It almost got something even better — the shiny gold trophy that again stays with the Americans. “Irrelevant of the outcome — we obviously would have loved to have won — we put on a show of golf this week,” captain Nick Price said.

Haden wasn’t specific about the reasons for Sarkisian’s absence, only saying that “it was very clear to me that he is not healthy.” Haden spoke to Sarkisian by phone Sunday, and he asked the coach to take a leave. Sarkisian publicly apologized before the season after he showed up drunk at a pep rally and made a slurred public statement. He announced he would be getting unspecified treatment, but didn’t believe he had a drinking problem, blaming his unsteady appearance on combining alcohol and medication. Sarkisian is 12-6 during his short tenure leading the talented Trojans, who lost 17-12 to unranked Washington last Thursday. Sarkisian had been on the road recruiting during the weekend.
Maryland fires Edsall College Park, Md. — Randy Edsall was fired as Maryland’s football coach Sunday, less than 24 hours after the team’s third straight lopsided defeat. The dismissal comes in the middle of Edsall’s fifth season with the Terrapins. He is 22-34 since taking over in 2011. Maryland (2-4, 0-2 Big Ten) has been outscored 122-34 during its three-game losing streak. Including an earlier defeat against Bowling Green, Maryland’s four losses have come by an average of four touchdowns.
North Texas changes coaches Denton, Texas — Mike Canales is getting a second chance as interim coach at North Texas. The Mean Green’s offensive coordinator was chosen interim coach for the rest of the season Sunday, a day after coach Dan McCarney was fired following a 66-7 homecoming loss to FCS team Portland State. Canales also served as interim coach for the final five games of the 2010 season after former coach Todd Dodge was fired midseason. North Texas went 2-3.

KU’s Ogletree keeps fighting, talking By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com
For the second week in a row, Kansas University junior Marnez Ogletree demonstrated late in a lopsided loss exactly what the KU football coaching staff is looking for from its young, overmatched team. He never quit fighting. Ogletree, a junior-college transfer from Fullerton College who started Saturday’s 66-7 loss to third-ranked Baylor in place of junior cornerback Brandon Stewart — sidelined because of a groin injury — actually had his best day to date as a Jayhawk. He broke up a pass early, finished with five tackles — four solo — and never looked intimidated or scared by the highpowered, seemingly unstoppable Baylor offense. Instead, Ogletree got right in the face of Baylor wideout Corey Cole-

“We had to make some changes at the beginning of the season, but I think our three backs are extremely strong,” Dobyns said. “Even with putting Anna (Courtney) in, we have people that can come in. We all just work together so it works, clicks.” The win for the Jayhawks (8-5-1 overall, 3-1 in the Big 12) was their sixth in the last seven games and snapped the Sooners’ (8-5-2, 1-1-2) seven-game unbeaten streak.

lando, Florida. Brown is ranked No. 73 in his class. Wilkes has received scholarship offers from Clemson, Rice, Tennessee, UAB, UCF and Virginia Tech. He has also heard from Alabama, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Kansas, Purdue, Stanford and Virginia. Wilkes told Jayhawkslant.com he was impressed with KU’s McCarthy Hall. It’s the new apartment complex for the players. “They are the nicest dorms that I’ve ever seen,” Wilkes said. “They are incredible. I can definitely say that the new dorms are the top in the country. You have your own bathroom and a big kitchen area with a living room with a TV. They have a barbershop in the new dorms and a massage room. They have a pool table, a ping pong table, a movie theater, and a balcony that has a grill with some tables and chairs. It’s absolutely awesome. They also have a basketball court in the new dorms. He added: “Coach Self said they are real interested in me, and Chaundee also, and they are coming down to watch me practice next week, on Monday.”
Although the Jayhawks were excited about the late goal from Williams to give them the victory, their focus was already geared toward a matchup with No. 4 West Virginia on Friday. When learning of WVU’s 4-1 road victory over Texas Tech on Sunday during the team’s postgame stretch routine, junior midfielder Jackie Georgoulis’ jaw dropped in disbelief. The Mountaineers (12-2-2, 3-0-1) have not lost since a 2-1 setback to Virginia Tech on Aug. 23, but Dobyns is confident that the Jayhawks will give them all they can handle. “Obviously, they are a really strong team, but I think we’ve shown that we are, too,” Dobyns said. “I think we can hold our own against them.” KU and WVU will square off at 7 p.m. Friday in Morgantown, West Virginia.
Big 12) will open the week as 27-point underdogs against Texas Tech, which will come to Lawrence Saturday for yet another 11 a.m. kickoff at Memorial Stadium. “As coaches, and as players, we have to be able to shut the scoreboard off, whether you’re up 21 or down 21,” Beaty said. “You’ve got to play the next play. That sounds cliché, but it’s exactly how you do it. You take everything one play at a time.” Ogletree said that’s what allows him to operate like every play is the biggest play of the game no matter how much time remains or how big of a deficit the Jayhawks are facing. Asked if the KU locker room had more players like him in that regard, Ogletree did not hesitate to answer. “We do,” he said. “We’ve just gotta bring it out of ’em.”

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “You’re put in a situation like this, you have to make plays. We didn’t do that.” The Chiefs were leading 17-3 in the third quarter when Charles went down while trying to make a cut. The preliminary diagnosis was a torn ligament, and he’ll have an MRI today. With him out of the game, the Bears (2-3) quickly seized the momentum. After Robbie Gould’s second field goal got them going, Cutler led an 88-yard drive that he capped with a 22-yard pass to Marquess Wilson with 3:05 left. The twopoint conversion came up short, but the Bears defense responded by forcing a quick three-andout. With help from a pass interference call on Chiefs rookie Marcus Peters, the Bears quickly moved downfield. That’s when Cutler took a snap from the shotgun, dropped the ball, picked it up and spotted Forte running past safety Husain Abdullah in the end zone for the go-ahead score. “There’s a lot of pride in that offensive huddle,” Cutler said. “Those guys fought hard.” The Chiefs’ fourth-

quarter collapse was reminiscent of their home opener, when AFC West rival Denver scored two touchdowns in the final 2:27 for a 31-24 victory last month. Making this one even worse was the injury to Charles, who was starting to get into a rhythm went he went down deep in Chicago territory. He immediately grabbed his right knee — Charles tore the ACL in his left knee
four years ago — and was helped straight to the locker room. “Charles is one of the tougher guys in the NFL, so I’m thinking he’s going to get up,” backup running back Charcandrick West said. “It brought tears to my eyes. It’s heartbreaking.” It became even more heartbreaking when Chiefs’ drive stalled, and Cairo Santos had his fieldgoal attempt blocked. The missed points wound up looming large in a game Kansas City could look back on all season for its missed opportunities. “We had so many opportunities to win this game,” wide receiver Jeremy Maclin said, “and we blew it. We don’t have anybody to blame but ourselves.” Until Charles went down, everything was going splendidly for the Chiefs, who had jumped out to a comfortable lead thanks to a pair of surprising touchdowns. The first occurred on the third series of the game, when Cutler was sacked in the end zone by Jaye Howard and Allen Bailey. Cutler lost the ball before hitting the turf, and rookie linebacker Ramik Wilson jumped on it for a touchdown in his first NFL start. The Chiefs’ second TD came when Alex Smith connected with DeAnthony Thomas with a 14-yard pitch-and-catch midway through the second quarter.

Dalton, Cincinnati clip Seattle in OT ————
Former Jayhawk Harris Jr. lifts Denver to 5-0 with pick six The Associated Press
Bengals 27, Seahawks 24, OT Cincinnati — Andy Dalton led the Bengals from a 17-point fourthquarter deficit to an overtime victory on Sunday over Seattle, keeping Cincinnati undefeated with the second-biggest comeback in its history. Trailing 24-7 as the fourth quarter started, Dalton threw for a touchdown, ran for another and led the Bengals on a 69-yard drive without a timeout. Mike Nugent tied it with a 31-yard field goal on the final play of regulation.

Broncos 16, Raiders 10 Oakland, Calif. — Chris Harris Jr. returned a fourth-quarter interception 74 yards for a touchdown, and Denver overcame a shaky day from Peyton Manning to beat Oakland. Manning was intercepted twice by 1998 draft classmate Charles Woodson and failed to lead the Broncos (5-0) to an offensive touchdown for the second time in five games this season.

TORONTO SHORTSTOP TROY TULOWITZKI, RIGHT, CELEBRATES HIS HOME RUN with third base coach Luis Rivera during the sixth inning of the Blue Jays’ 5-1 victory over Texas on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.
Jays stay alive, 5-1 Arlington, Texas — Troy Tulowitzki settled down at the podium after helping the Toronto Blue Jays extend the AL Division Series, his left shoulder and arm constantly pulsating from the medical device attached to him. Tulowitzki, still far from 100 percent from a collision that forced him to miss 19 games after being acquired by the Blue Jays, had certainly flexed his muscles on the field Sunday night in Game 3, a 5-1 victory over the Texas Rangers. “Good enough to go, good enough to play. Tons of treatment to be honest with you. I could do it all day,” Tulowitzki said. “But just go out there and play and see what happens.” Tulowitzki drove in four runs, including three with a homer for his first hit in these playoffs, and the Blue Jays cut their deficit to 2-1 in the best-of-five series. The victory was Toronto’s first in the postseason since Joe Carter’s home run won the 1993 World Series. Marco Estrada limited the Rangers to one run

our guys, I think, are up to the task, and tomorrow will be an exciting day.” Keuchel, who shut down the Yankees in the AL wild-card game, worked out of jam after jam, allowing five hits and one run with seven strikeouts after going 15-0 at home this season, a modern major league record. Yost knows just how good Keuchel is after tapping the lefty to start for the AL in this year’s AllStar game. “He threw a great game,” Yost said. “I think he should be the Cy Young winner this year. He’s been great. Had a phenomenal year.” Luke Gregerson gave up a leadoff homer in the ninth to Alex Gordon before finishing off the Astros first playoff game in Houston in 10 years with a four-out save. Royals cleanup hitter Eric Hosmer, who is batting .083 in the playoffs, said their mindset is simple: Win today and force a Game 5 in Kansas City.
