ow about a happy little Lights & Sirens today? Remember Kevin, the missing teen tortoise who escaped his home at the Tallgrass Parrot Sanctuary in Lecompton after a burglar cut the chain lock on the sanctuary’s gate?

Well, a farmer found Kevin snacking on his soybean field Tuesday, sanctuary owner and Kevin’s caretaker Kail Marie said. As it turns out, Kevin had himself quite the adventure, traveling about 5 miles from the sanctuary to the farmer’s field over a span of

more than two weeks. On Oct. 20, the 17-yearold, 75-pound and 2-footwide tortoise took off with the sanctuary’s goats, chickens and pigs when someone left the gate open after attempting to steal a Please see EXOTIC, page 2A

Remembering George Williams, ‘a grand guy’ Public works director shaped city for 45 years By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Former Lawrence Public Works Director George Williams, who dedicated much of his life to the maintenance and preservation of his hometown, died Monday at age 85. Williams, the namesake of George Williams Way in west Lawrence, was named public works director in 1967 and retired in 2001. During his 45-year tenure with public works, he saw the city’s limits stretch, and his department grew along with it. Please see WILLIAMS, page 2A

DEATHS

Lawyer for voter charged by Kobach seeks to end case

Goodland (ap) — A lawyer for a man charged with voting illegally in western Kansas says the case should be dismissed because Secretary of State Kris Kobach isn’t prosecuting it personally. Defense attorney Jeffery Mason filed a motion Tuesday attacking the three felony and seven misdemeanor

charges against Lincoln Wilson in Sherman County District Court. Kobach’s top assistant filed the case last month. Wilson’s first court appearance was Tuesday. He is accused of voting illegally in Sherman County in 2010, 2012 and 2014 while also voting in Yuma County, Colo. Wilson

owns property in both. Mason contends a new state law allowing Kobach to prosecute such cases requires the secretary of state to handle them personally. Kobach’s office disagreed Wednesday and called the motion “perfunctory.” A hearing on the motion is Dec. 7.

they have advertised the position widely but have not been able to hire qualified candidates. During a meeting of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Pensions, Investments and Benefits, two education groups, United School Administrators of Kansas and the Kansas School Superintendents Association, pushed for changes to the new law. First, they urged raising the income cap beyond $25,000. They also suggested establishing a standard procedure to apply for the one-year “hardship” extension rather than filing their requests directly with the committee. Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, noted that the bill passed in 2015 included a requirement that lawmakers review the $25,000 earnings cap in 2016. And the committee agreed to a motion by Sen. Jeff King, R-Independence, that the panel include in its final report to the 2016 Legislature a “strong recommendation” to consider the suggested changes to the hardship extension. Meanwhile, Rep. Dan Hawkins, R-Wichita, said the Legislature should consider raising the additional money that employers pay into KPERS on behalf of re-employed

retired workers, possibly up to 30 percent of the employee’s salary, instead of the current 8 percent. The groups also suggested there be at least a 60-day waiting period between the time an employee retires and the time he or she goes back to work in order to avoid violating IRS regulations on working after retirement. Those regulations generally prohibit “pre-arranged” deals in which a person retires from an employer and starts drawing retirement, knowing at the time that he or she has already accepted another position after retirement. Although rural districts have reported the most difficulty in recruiting new teachers, some urban districts have also had difficulty. But in rural areas, Suppes conceded, the Working After Retirement program may only be a stopgap measure, and in the long term, those districts may need to rely more on virtual classes and other forms of distance learning in order to provide certain kinds of instruction. “We’ve tried to hold off from doing that, but that certainly may be an issue very quickly,” he said. “I think we’re going to see more and more of that.”

“He really was in charge of all the hardcore working aspects of a city,” said former city engineer Terese Gorman, who worked alongside Williams every day for 16 years. “He was good at it. He expected hard work, but he was very caring. He made a huge impact on everybody who worked for him.” Gorman and former city manager Mike Wildgen, who worked with Williams for almost three decades, described Williams as “jovial,” “a good man,” “a strong leader” and someone who believed deeply in what he did. Williams was a lifetime member of the American Public Works Association and served on the organization’s national board of directors for 10 years. He was selected in 1999 as one of the nation’s top 10 public works leaders of the year. The Kansas chapter of the American Public Works Association named Williams its most notable member. In 1996, the chapter created an annual award in his name, the “George Williams Award for Excellence in Public Works.” Williams was born in Lawrence

and graduated from Kansas University with a civil engineering degree. He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, going through the Officers Candidate School, and served as part of artillery units in the Korean War. He was a first lieutenant when discharged. Williams took a position with the city as assistant city engineer soon after he left the military. He married Darlyne Willhardt in 1958, and the couple had three sons. At Williams’ retirement party in 2001, Wildgen said he was the “epitome of the city institution,” according to a JournalWorld article from the time. “I think people on the outside, the citizens, respected him for his knowledge and ability to help them,” Wildgen said Wednesday. “He clearly was dedicated to the public works aspect of public administration, which affects so many people. “He was just a grand guy, and we’ll miss him.” A memorial Mass will take place 10 a.m. today at Corpus Christi Catholic Church, 6001 Bob Billings Parkway, followed by a burial at Mount Calvary Cemetery. — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can be reached at 832-7144 and nwentling@ljworld.com.

“I think it’s kind of sad that we have to have those provisions in place.” During the 2015 session, lawmakers made changes to a program called Working After Retirement, which gives limited authority for employers within the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System to hire retired workers who are already drawing a pension if they cannot find a younger worker to fill certain jobs. Before the new law, state agencies and local governments could hire retired workers, but those workers were limited to earning up to $20,000 a year before they either had to quit the job or forego their KPERS benefits for the rest of the year. Employers that use the program, however, must also make higher payments into the KPERS system. Under the bill enacted this year, the earnings cap is raised to $25,000 starting July 1, 2016. Furthermore, re-employed teachers in the five most hard-to-fill subject areas are allowed to work for up to three years, and school districts can apply for a one-year extension beyond that if they can document that

County OKs work to replace rural bridge By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Douglas County’s Department of Public Works is working to replace a rural bridge after county commissioners approved their request to negotiate an engineering contract for the work. Keith Browning, the county’s public works director, said the bridge, located at 64 East 550 Road, is not currently at risk for failure. Rather, the replacement plan is part of a proactive vision for the county’s bridges. “I think it’s rated fair con-

But Angela de Rocha, KDADS spokeswoman, said the state’s inquiry is continuing but she could not comment further. Price said some of the concerns the state raised that have been resolved include:

Home CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Majesta Roach, student, Haskell campus “I was on a flight and there was turbulence, and after we sat down, a flight attendant opened the overhead baggage compartment, and a suitcase fell down on me and another person. But I got to my destination.”

Leroy Parks, in education, Wichita “I was on a flight from Dallas to Atlanta and the turbulence was bad. It was so scary, rocky and fearful that I introduced myself to the lady beside me so I’d know who I was gonna die with.”

The report, however, did show signs that activity levels are set to rise again in the fall. Real estate agents had 86 contracts for sale written in September, up from 69 in September 2014. Contracts written during a month are usually a good indicator of home sales that will be finalized in the next month or so. Local real estate agents certainly wouldn’t mind if something caused more Lawrence residents to put their homes on the market. A decline in the number of homes for sale may be the biggest threat to the local real estate market right now. The number of active listings is down to 322 homes, which is about 25 percent less than at this point a year ago. Here’s a look at some other statistics from the report: l Sales totals for newly constructed homes are at their highest levels in a while. Through September, 64 new homes sales have been recorded. That’s an increase of a little more than 25 percent compared with the

CORRECTION The name of Bishop Seabury Academy student Thomas diZerega was misspelled in a contributed Friends and Neighbors photo printed in Wednesday’s Journal-World.

CLARIFICATION The Heard on the Hill column in Wednesday’s Journal-World contained incomplete information. Kansas University Endowment gave KU $184.6 million in fiscal year 2015, but donors gave KU Endowment $258.8 million during the same year. The latter number is the one that should be compared with The Chronicle of Higher Education’s list of universities that received the most donations last year, although KU is still not among the top 10.

“The SPLC puts that crap out whenever I speak, calling me a racist,” Kobach said in a phone interview Tuesday. “It’s their standard way of smearing people.” The Social Contract Press is an organization that publishes a quarterly journal, The Social Contract, whose articles focus on U.S. immigration policy. It was founded by John Tanton, who also founded an anti-illegal immigration group, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, or FAIR, an organization that Kobach has represented as an attorney. Kobach said he spoke to the publication’s writers workshop Oct. 25 in Alexandria, Va., on the subject of U.S. immigration law. Many of the articles in recent issues of the journal express strident views on immigration. In 2010, for example, writer K.C. McAlpin compared Muslim immigrants to the fabled Trojan Horse and suggested they would destroy America if their immigration into this country

dition, it’s not too horrible, but it’s narrow and it’s on a paved county route, and I think it’s time to get it replaced,” he said. The bridge on East 550 road — about 15 miles southeast of Baldwin City — was originally installed in 1935, Browning said. “If you have roughly 160 bridges and a bridge lasts about 80 years, then just to keep up you try to replace a couple a year,” he said. “It’s not in that bad of condition, but it is in a condition where we need to start the process of getting it replaced.” The entire project is budgeted in the county’s

capital improvement plan for about $630,000, Browning said. Now that commissioners have approved the department’s request to negotiate an engineering contract, they can move forward and better define a timeline and cost estimate for the work. Initially, construction was scheduled to begin in fall 2016, Browning said, but that may be pushed back to spring of 2017, depending on how fast the planning process moves. Also Wednesday, commissioners approved a resolution allowing County Commissioner Craig Wein-

aug to work with organizers of Lawrence’s Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade to allow for the one-time consumption of alcohol on the Douglas County Fairgrounds for a private party this December. County commissioners meet at 4 p.m. each Wednesday in the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. The meetings are open to the public and a full agenda can be found online at douglascountyks.org.

l Training staff on reporting adult abuse and neglect and how to report it. l Training staff on disseminating medication and the side effects of medication. The state’s formal finding said CLO submitted a Plans of Correction in late August but the agency rejected it because “CLO failed to address the issues.”

CLO had been given until Nov. 15 to submit another Plans of Correction but then the formal findings were rescinded, making that date moot. Price said she could not talk about the correction plan and whether it was resubmitted. “It’s difficult for me to address that document,” she said. “It is difficult for me to respond to a document they have withdrawn.”

De Rocha did not provide a timeline for the process, and the letter withdrawing the notice said only that the company “must still strictly comply with applicable authorities” regarding the operation of the company at 2113 Delaware St.

Time to find another caretaker for Mom Dear Annie: I have been taking care of my mother for 30 years, since I was 17 and she was disabled from a car accident and unable to work. Her health is getting worse, so my husband and I recently moved her in with us. My husband and I both work full time. I have caregivers who come in during the day when we are at work, and we take care of her at night. Annie, I’m so tired. My husband and I can’t go anywhere overnight. Our sex life has gone downhill, because we are both so exhausted. Mom has become mean and combative, which makes our lives miserable. She doesn’t sleep much at night, which means neither do I. There are no other family members to help. I have tried to find a skilled nursing facility

Football on NFL Network only tonight With its half season of “Thursday Night Football” over, CBS returns to its sitcom bloc. For those who just want to watch the game, the Cincinnati Bengals host the Cleveland Browns (7:25 p.m.), but only on NFL Network. Tonight’s CBS comedies put the accent on the poignant. On “The Big Bang Theory” (7 p.m., TV-PG) Sheldon gets emotional when he reflects on his icon, Mr. Spock from “Star Trek.” (Leonard Nimoy died on Feb. 27.) “Mom” (8 p.m., TV-14) returns for its third season debut, with guest star Ellen Burstyn as Bonnie’s estranged mother, who suddenly wants to reconnect after abandoning her daughter to foster care when she was only 4. Drenched in the attitudes and platitudes of 12-Step recovery, “Mom” mixes the “heavy” with punch line-driven flippancy with near-mechanical efficiency. Issues of abandonment, addiction, impending death, forgiveness and closure are all sliced and diced through the joke processor. Decades ago, “Seinfeld” announced the era of the “no hugs, no lessons” approach to comedy. Shows like “The Office” dispensed with punch lines entirely. But after all that, the success of “Mom” and other CBS threecamera comedies demonstrates the enduring appeal of the oldfashioned approach. It doesn’t hurt when you also have highcaliber performers like Allison Janney and Ellen Burstyn.

A comedy in all but name, the reality series “I Love Kellie Pickler” (9 p.m., CMT) debuts. This series follows the former “American Idol” contestant and country star as she collaborates with her music producer husband, Kyle Jacobs, who co-wrote her song “No Cure for Crazy.” Pickler recently collaborated with “Idol” host Ryan Seacrest on the curious summer replacement series “Knock Knock Live.” If you don’t remember that one, it’s because Fox canceled it after only two airings.

The true crime procedural “The First 48” (8 p.m., A&E, TV-14) enters its 15th season with its 300th episode, about an Atlanta woman’s murder. “Nightwatch” (9 p.m., TV-14) follows a series of accidents and violent acts accompanying Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Tonight’s other highlights

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Nov. 5: This year you open up to a world full of potential. You can practically wish upon a star and have your wish come true. If you are single, you will have to fight to keep that status. If you are attached, you and your significant other will happily proceed. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You’ll feel as if the time has come to take control of a difficult situation. Tonight: A partner has a nice way of saying “thank you.” Taurus (April 20-May 20) Despite someone else’s attitude, which might hurt you, you’ll keep it together. You succeed because of your resourcefulness. Tonight: Let your imagination take the lead. Gemini (May 21-June 20) A matter revolving around your home might keep you grounded, perhaps even more than you would like. Tonight: Avoid complications. Cancer (June 21-July 22) You come up with the right words at the right time. Communication could be overwhelming. Tonight: In the thick of things. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Balance your checkbook before you take a risk. The gamble might be worth it. Tonight: Indulge a little.

give her something? — Thank-Yous Still Nice Dear Thank-Yous: If you attend the wedding, you are under an obligation to give a gift, although it doesn’t need to be as generous as the first one. If you do not receive any thankyou note in three to six months, it is perfectly OK to call Susie and ask whether the gift was received. You’d be surprised how often such things are lost or misplaced. This includes cards with money inside. Of course, if Susie did receive the gift and is too rude to have sent an acknowledgment of any kind, she deserves to squirm a little when you ask her about it.

Proxy war escalating in Syria

EDITORIALS

Top job Hiring a new city manager is a big job, and city commissioners should draw on the community’s expertise to help guide their choice.

he process of hiring a new Lawrence city manager begins in earnest Sunday when Lawrence city commissioners go into a daylong executive session to conduct their first round of personal interviews with the candidates. As commissioners and others have noted, this hiring likely is the most important job the commissioners will face during their tenure. It’s good news that the Lawrence job spurred considerable interest; 54 people applied for the position and 32 of those met the necessary qualifications. According to the consultant assisting with the search, the candidates had an average of 19 years of experience as chief executives. Most hold master’s degrees in public administration and are credentialed through the International City/County Management Association. That overall level of experience bodes well for Lawrence being able to hire a highly qualified candidate. Commissioners indicated in midOctober that they would instruct the consultant to schedule interviews with eight candidates. Assuming none of those eight has dropped from consideration, that is the group commissioners will interview on Sunday. Commissioners then are expected to narrow the field and invite a smaller group back to the city for tours and meetings with the public. Using a consultant to manage the initial hiring process probably was a good idea, but after Sunday’s interviews, there should be an intentional effort to tap the expertise of local residents to assist in the commission’s hiring choice. A visit to Lawrence should include not only public meetings but meetings with local leaders — perhaps former commissioners, Kansas University public administration faculty, business leaders and others — who can help the commission assess the candidates and how well they fit Lawrence’s needs. The final decision, of course, belongs to the commission, but additional community feedback may help guide that choice. Even in the best of circumstances, hiring is an inexact science. Hopefully, Sunday’s interviews will reveal several highly qualified allstars from whom commissioners can choose.

Washington — President Obama says he doesn’t want to turn the Syria conflict into a proxy war. Unfortunately, that’s already happening, as combatants join the battle against the Islamic State with radically differing agendas that could collide. Let’s look at the confusing order of battle: The United States has decided that its strongest partner against the Islamic State is a Syrian Kurdish force known as the YPG. But Turkey, nominally our NATO ally, says the YPG has links with what it claims is a Kurdish terrorist

group. How’s that going to work out? No answers yet. Russia, meanwhile, contends that it is fighting the Islamic State, alongside forces loyal to President Bashar alAssad. But Russian warplanes have been bombing Islamist rebel groups that are covertly supported by the U.S., Turkey and Jordan — and these brigades are fighting back hard. The rebels are posting videos bragging about their success with U.S. anti-tank missiles. The battle looks eerily like Russia’s war in Afghanistan, in embryo. Where’s it heading? No answer there, either. Saudi Arabia and Iran have been fighting by proxy in Syria for nearly four years. This may be the most toxic conflict of all, because it feeds the Sunni-Shiite sectarian inferno that is immolating the Middle East. Look across the map of

shattered Syria and you see contradictory coalitions and partnerships. With so many powerful military forces gathering in the same area, the danger for accidents and miscalculations is large. Why is this proxy war escalating at the same time the outside powers are holding diplomatic talks about resolving the conflict? The U.S., Russia, Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia sent representatives to Vienna last week to explore the political transition they all claim to favor. The meeting was not encouraging: No Syrian combatants attended, and the outside powers disagreed sharply about what a transition should look like. “Fight and talk” is a recurring cycle in Middle East conflict. So perhaps the recent military escalation is the prelude to diplomatic negotiations, as each side tries to extend its territory and strengthen its bargaining position before serious talks begin. We should be so lucky. But both Assad and the rebels seem as unready for compromise as ever. Studying Syria from north to south, it’s clear where “deconfliction,” as the military puts it, is needed to avoid unintended disaster. On the northern front, the

U.S. needs to deepen its consultations with Turkey as it escalates support for Syrian Kurdish forces and their Arab allies. President Obama is sending fewer than 50 Special Forces operatives to Syria, but make no mistake, this is a significant commitment. The U.S. troops will need air support — not just to bomb the Islamic State, but for resupply, rescue if they get in trouble, and perhaps to enable the cycle of intelligence-driven “night raids” that was so devastating in Iraq. What does Turkey think about this expanded U.S. role on its border, especially after the decisive election victory last Sunday by the sometimes Kurdophobic President Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Pentagon officials say the Turks should be reassured, because the U.S. will now have greater oversight of the YPG’s 25,000 fighters and can prevent supplies from getting to the PKK, which Turkey views as a terrorist group. It’s a reasonable argument, but it needs Ankara’s assent. On Syria’s southern border with Jordan, the U.S. has quietly helped train a rebel coalition known as the Southern Front, which claims 35,000 fighters in 54 brigades. Last week, Russian warplanes attacked some of

Immigration positive for U.S. By Gene A. Budig and Alan Heaps

Journal-World

Thanks to the presidential candidates, immigration is once again at the forefront of the national agenda. Unfortunately, the focus on unauthorized immigrants threatens to cast a pall over the whole issue. As we continue the debate, we would do well to remember that a willingness to welcome people from all over the world is one of our nation’s greatest strengths. Fifty years ago, America set in motion the “fourth wave of immigration.” The 1965 passage of the HartCellar Act ended the national origin quotas that had favored the Northern European countries since 1924 and opened the doors Budig to the Hispanic and Asian immigrants who would reshape America. Passed as an extension of the civil rights movement, few expected the bill to result in major changes. President Lyndon B. Johnson said, “This bill we sign today is not a revolutionary bill. It does not affect Heaps the lives of millions. It will not restructure the shape of our daily lives.” He, and the others who predicted a similar outcome, were wrong. l Since 1965, 59 million immigrants have arrived. Approximately 25 percent of our current population is first or second generation Americans. l The percentage of foreign-born Americans has risen steadily. In 1965 it was 5 percent; today it is 14 percent; by 2065 it will be 18 percent. (The historic peak was 14.8 percent in 1890.) l Hispanics and Asians account for most of the increase. In 1965, they were 5 percent of the total population; today they are 24 percent; by 2065 they will be 38 percent. l The largest current immigrant group is Hispanics but this is changing. By 2055, it will be Asians.

l America has four times more immigrants than the country with the next largest immigrant population (Russia). Contrary to some political narratives, the changes cited above are supported by Americans. A recent Gallup poll reports that 73 percent believe immigration is “a good thing … for this country today” and 65 percent believe immigration should be increased or kept at its present level. This is confirmed by a Public Religion Institute Poll. It tells us that 55 percent of Americans say immigrants strengthen our country compared to 36 percent who say immigrants are a burden. So why the support? Immigrants give us economic strength. They are 17 percent of our workforce; 33 percent of our engineers and 27 percent of our mathematicians, statisticians and computer scientists; small business owners that employ 4.7 million people and generate $776 billion annually; and founders (along with their children) of more than 40 percent of the Fortune 500 companies including Google, eBay, Yahoo, Sun Microsystems and Intel. And there are other important benefits in this increasingly interconnected world: linguistic and cultural diversity, expertise and exposure to other ways of life, enthusiasm and ambition, and connections to millions or people in other countries. America is primarily a nation of voluntary immigrants. Two percent of Americans are Native Americans and 13 percent are black (most of whose ancestors were forced to come here), but 85 percent are voluntary immigrants or their descendants. We should be proud of this heritage. At the signing of the Hart-Cellar Immigration Act on Oct. 3, 1965, President Johnson said that “The land flourished because it was fed from so many sources — because it was nourished by so many cultures and traditions and peoples.” It was true 50 years ago and it is even more true today. — Gene A.

those U.S.-backed forces at Al-Harra in southwest Syria, the site of a former Russian signals-intelligence station captured by the rebels. This is crazy. Moscow and Washington should look to deescalate the situation, rather than torch it more. But in the inexorable logic of the Syria conflict, worse is ahead. Maj. Essam al-Rayes, the spokesman for the Southern Front, told me in a telephone interview Tuesday that his forces expect a new Syrian onslaught this week, backed by Russia, to recapture ground south of Damascus. This pursuit of “victory” only helps the extremists. What’s over the hill, if the outside powers don’t find a path toward deescalation? Here’s one grim hint: I had visits over the past several weeks from leaders of Kurdish political movements in Iran and Syria who envision the day when a greater Kurdistan dissolves the borders of those nations, as well as Turkey and Iraq. If Russia, Iran, Turkey and the other proxy fighters don’t help put the pin back in this grenade, a more devastating, regionwide explosion lies ahead. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 7, 1915: years “War and roago mance will be IN 1915 mingled in the departure of Dr. A. L. Van Meter, a graduate of the University of Kansas in 1909, for the western battle front in Europe. He will become a surgeon in the British service and he will take with him his bride, who is now Miss Elva McFarland of Parsons. They will be married in Boston. The two will sail for France November 16, and there Dr. Van Meter will be assigned to one of the British hospitals at the front in the western theatre of war. The wedding was not to have taken place for some time, but this week Dr. Van Meter received his commission from the British government and he immediately telegraphed to his fiancée here whether or not she wished to accompany him to the war zone. Her answer was ‘yes.’” “Mistaking a tablet of bichloride of mercury for a headache tablet, Miss Ruth Gibson, a freshman in the college at the University, from Arrington, Kansas, is critically ill at the University Hospital, 1300 Louisiana street, from having swallowed the poison. Miss Gibson, who rooms at 1244 Ohio street, complained of a headache Saturday evening and her friends were awakened early Sunday morning to find her seriously ill....

British fear bomb downed Russian jet U.K. suspends flights above Sinai Peninsula Bart Jansen USA TODAY

Concerns that a Russian airliner that crashed over the weekend was brought down by a bomb prompted the British government to suspend flights Wednesday to and from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. “We have concluded there is a significant possibility that the

crash was caused by an explosive device on board the aircraft,” British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said Wednesday night after a meeting of the government’s crisis committee about the crash that killed all 224 onboard. British Prime Minister David Cameron warned against vacations or other non-essential travel to Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheik airport, where the Russian Metrojet flight originated. Irish airlines were also directed Wednesday not to operate in the Sinai Peninsula “until further notice,” said Eamonn Brennan, chief executive of the Irish Aviation Authority.

An anonymous U.S. intelligence official told the Associated Press that intercepted communication played a role in a tentative conclusion that a Sinai affiliate of the Islamic State planted an explosive device on the jet. An affiliate of the Islamic State claimed responsibility for bringing down the jet in a tweet quickly after it crashed, but U.S. and Egyptian authorities initially dismissed the claim. The group allegedly reiterated that claim Wednesday in an audio recording circulated among militant supporters online, the AP reported. White House spokesman Josh Earnest noted that the Federal

Aviation Administration has warned pilots for years to be careful flying over the Sinai, but no U.S. airlines depart from Sinai airports such as at Sharm el-Sheik. Since March, the FAA has told U.S. airlines to fly at least 26,000 feet above Sinai to avoid shoulder-fired missiles or small arms insurgents could fire. “If it were the last point of departure for any aircraft operating regularly in the United States, there would be a whole set of security regulations that would be imposed to ensure the safety of the traveling public,” Earnest said. Crash investigators listened to

the cockpit voice recorder and examined the flight-data recorder to determine how the Russian Metrojet plane was operating before it broke up over Egypt, but a report could take weeks to produce. Russia’s Interfax news service, citing a source in the investigation, reported the pilots chatted normally with air-traffic controllers until four minutes before an “emergency situation occurred,” according to the AP. “Sounds uncharacteristic of a standard flight precede the moment of the airliner’s disappearance from radar screens,” Interfax said, according to AP.

IRAN MARKS U.S. EMBASSY TAKEOVER Thousands rallied in Tehran to mark 36 years since the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in 1979. It was overrun less than a year after a coup toppled the shah of Iran. A protest demanding the return of the shah to face charges turned violent, and 52 Americans were taken hostage. An attempt to save them in April 1980 turned tragic when two helicopters crashed, killing eight U.S. servicemembers and an Iranian civilian. The 444-day crisis ended with the hostages’ release on Jan. 20, 1981. MAJID SAEEDI, GETTY IMAGES

Heroic cop’s ‘ultimate betrayal’ He embezzled funds, planned his killing Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

The heroic cop who died in the line of duty turned out to be an embezzler who was siphoning cash from a youth program to pay his mortgage and adult websites. Just over two months after the shooting death of Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz in Fox Lake, Ill., spurred a massive hunt that grabbed national attention, investigators in Lake County, Ill., said Wednesday that the cop, whose death they had treated as a homicide, carefully staged his suicide. The reason? He feared he was about to be outed for embezzling thousands of dollars. “Gliniewicz committed the ul-

timate betrayal to the citizens he served and the entire law enforcement community,” said George Filenko, commander of the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force. Gliniewicz’s, 52, an Army veteran who had spent more than 30 years as a police officer, was found dead in a marshy area of Fox Lake the morning of Sept. 1. Before his death, Gliniewicz radioed dispatch to say he was going to check on suspicious activity. Police said he told dispatchers he was in a foot chase and described seeing three suspects. Officers found him dead from gunshot wounds. He had been shot once in his protective vest and once in his torso. A manhunt involving hundreds of officers followed. Nerves were on edge as Gliniewicz’s death was thought to be the latest in a spate of cop killings across the country,

including one in Harris County, Texas, days earlier in which a sheriff’s deputy was gunned down as he fueled his vehicle. Until Wednesday, investigators maintained that they believed Gliniewicz had been gunned down. The tributes to Gliniewicz were many. Dick Durbin, Illinois’ senior senator, lauded “G.I. Joe” on the Senate floor. Local businesses and cops and firefighters raised money for the officer’s

family. And hundreds, including Gov. Bruce Rauner, showed up for Gliniewicz’s funeral. But Filenko said as they pushed ahead with the investigation, detectives uncovered thousands of texts and Facebook messages that showed Gliniewicz feared the Fox Lake village administrator had caught on to his malfeasance. “The situation right here would give her the means to CRUCIFY ME if it were discovered,” Gliniewicz wrote in a June 26 message to an unidentified individual. The investigation would unveil that Gliniewicz was spending cash from a police explorer’s account on trips, loans, a gym membership, his mortgage and an adult website. Filenko said the ordeal marked the first time in his law enforcement career that he felt ashamed by another police officer.

Pentagon spent $9M for sports teams’ ‘paid patriotism’ Senators condemn staged displays Bill Theobald USA TODAY

The Pentagon paid more than $9 million to professional sports franchises the past four years to stage phony “paid patriotism” events, Sens. Jeff Flake and John McCain disclosed Wednesday. The events included full-field displays of the American flag, enlistment and re-enlistment ceremonies and emotional reunion WASHINGTON

events in which a servicemember returned to the surprise of family members. “Unsuspecting audience members became the subjects of paid marketing campaigns rather than simply bearing witness to teams’ authentic, voluntary shows of support for the brave men and women who wear our nation’s uniform,” the report by the Arizona Republicans said. “It is hard to understand how a team accepting taxpayer funds to sponsor a military appreciation game, or to recognize wounded warriors or returning troops, can be construed as anything other than paid patriotism,” it said.

Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake released an oversight report.

McCain is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The advertising-marketing contracts were intended to help with recruiting efforts, but the military has no hard evidence they were effective. Many of the agreements involved the National Guard. Among the biggest beneficiaries were NFL teams, which were paid more than $6 million. The Atlanta Falcons received $879,000; the New England Patriots, $700,000; and the Buffalo Bills, $650,000. The Atlanta Braves received $450,000, the most of any Major League Baseball franchise, while the Minne-

sota Wild were paid $570,000, the most of any National Hockey League team. The Atlanta contracts included an event in 2013 during which a roaring crowd cheered as the Falcons welcomed 80 Guard members who unfurled an American flag across the Georgia Dome’s turf. “Little did those fans — or millions of other Americans — know that the National Guard had actually paid the Atlanta Falcons for this display of patriotism,” the report said. Besides the major sports franchises, the military paid NASCAR about $1.6 million.

‘Real fight’ likely on Planned Parenthood

WASHINGTON The chairman of the House Freedom Caucus signaled Wednesday that he and other congressional conservatives were determined to try again to cut off money for Planned Parenthood, dismissing concerns that the confrontation could lead to another government shutdown. The issue could create an early divide between members of the caucus and Paul Ryan, the new House speaker they helped elect. Ryan, expressing doubt about whether defunding Planned Parenthood was realistic, said on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday that being an “effective opposition party” required “being honest with people upfront about what it is we can and cannot achieve.” “You have to be honest with the voters, too, but you also have to have the debate,” Ohio Rep.

AFTER 130 YEARS, CHURCH NEARS COMPLETION Work on Spanish basilica should be finished by 2026 Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

For a project in the works for more than 130 years, it is perhaps fitting that when the chief architect for Barcelona’s breathtaking basilica La Sagrada Família recently announced construction had reached the final stage, he meant it would be wrapped up in a mere 11 years. The soaring Roman Catholic church, also known as the Basilica and Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family, has been under construction since 1883, when architect Antoni Gaudi took over a modest, year-old project for a standard Gothic church and turned it into a wondrous structure that combines Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudi, who is buried in the chapel of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in the crypt of Sagrada Família, worked on the project for 43

years before dying in a tram accident in 1926 after completing only a quarter of it. Chief architect Jordi Fauli said last month that construction is on track to complete the church in 2026 on the centennial of Gaudi’s death, according to Dezeen, a British architecture and design magazine. But he also built in a little more time for the final touches. He said decorative elements could take another four to six years. “It’s difficult to predict but we can say that it will be completed by 2030, 2032,” he said. The project has encountered numerous difficulties over many decades, including the Spanish Civil War, when insurrectionists set fire to one part of the structure and, in their anti-clerical zeal, destroyed Gaudi’s models and plans for the finished building. The pieces were partially reassembled, but only scraps of the original plans were restored. Gaudi was untroubled during his life by the slow pace of such a project, believing that God had all the time in the world. “The work

tory,’ ” Jordan said of Boehner’s resignation. “I just think folks understood, America understood, that it was time for a change.” Jordan, 51, a member of the Judiciary Committee, said Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of State warrants more scrutiny. At a hearing last month before the special Benghazi committee, Jordan pressed Clinton about disparities between the “muddled” way she characterized the attacks in 2012 in Libya to the American public with the clear language she used to describe them to her family and the Egyptian prime minister. Clinton told him, “I wrote a whole chapter about this in my book, Hard Choices; I’d be glad to send it to you, congressman.” The book hasn’t arrived, Jordan said. “Maybe I should write her a note.”

A general view of the Basilica of La Sagrada Familia.

The facade of La Sagrada Familia on Oct. 26 in Barcelona. of the Sagrada Família progresses slowly because the master of this work is in no great hurry,” he is widely quoted as saying. Architect Jodi Bonet, 90, who invested most of his life to the basilica, first set foot on the construction site when he was 7. He was accompanying his father, Luis Bonet, one of four architects who managed the project for 40 years. His father eventually hand-

ed the role over to him. The church has been largely shielded from financial and political pressure because it is mainly financed by fees from tourists, who pour in at a rate of more than 3 million a year. Over the decades, while stonemasons and builders quietly reached for the sky, the building has long generated passionate views.

Some critics have argued that Gaudi’s successors strayed from his vision. In 2010, Bonet rejected those concerns, telling The New York Times that Gaudi himself left a certain degree of artistic freedom to those working alongside him. “Almost every cathedral has been the work of many people and over many centuries,” Bonet told the newspaper.

Cuba gives U.S. cold shoulder at trade fair The U.S. pavilion at the International Trade Fair in Havana this week was hidden behind a row of buildings and this poster of a Cuban rooster promoting the island’s poultry industry.

Alan Gomez USA TODAY

HAVANA Maybe it was just coincidence, maybe just unfortunate planning, but the American pavilion at this week’s International Trade Fair in Cuba was incredibly hard to find. It wasn’t listed on the programs or maps around the 5 acres of fairgrounds that hosted representatives from more than 70 countries. There were plenty of signs pointing visitors to the German section, the luxurious Venezuelan exhibits and the Brazilian pavilion. But even the Cuban government official I was walking around with had no clue where to find the Yankees. We thought we were getting close as we crossed through a group of Spanish pavilions. After walking around a pig-roasting stand and passing under a giant poster of a Cuban rooster, we finally found it, in a building promoting “light industries.” Understand, Cuba is an island where symbolism is important. Images of Che Guevara and other revolutionary heroes line the streets. Fidel Castro is legendary for his long, hyperbolic speeches filled with metaphors comparing the U.S. to every evil empire in human history. And after the U.S. government finally returned young Elián Gonzalez after an intense political battle with Cuba, the Cubans erected a statue of its national hero, José Martí, holding a baby in one hand and pointing straight at the U.S. Embassy building with the other. So what was the message behind placing the dozens of American businesses that came to

ALAN GOMEZ, USA TODAY

Cuba trying to explore new trade opportunities right next to the rear parking lot of the fair? “The message is, ‘Get in line,’ ” Gustavo Arnavat says. The Cuban-American businessman was part of a delegation led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that was hosting the first board of directors meeting of its newly formed U.S.-Cuba Business Council in coordination with the fair. That meeting was meant to show the interest of American companies following President Obama’s December decision to re-establish diplomatic relations with the longtime foe and open new trade possibilities for U.S. businesses. But rather than welcome the move with open arms, Arnavat says the Cubans have remained cautious, stressing that their relationship with the U.S. can nev-

Rather than welcome the re-established diplomatic relations with open arms, Cubans have been cautious er be completely normalized so long as the economic embargo on Cuba is in place. He says the Cubans are also trying to make clear that they refuse to be completely dependent on American investment, almost showing off how many other countries are eager to deal with Cuba. Those sentiments were on clear display all week. During a round of speeches to inaugurate

the fair on Monday, the only mention of the U.S. focused on the “blockade” the Americans maintain on the island. In the state-run Granma newspaper, an article highlighted nations that were new at this year’s fair, including Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Puerto Rico. Never mind that Puerto Rico is a U.S. commonwealth — the point was obvious. “They’re saying, ‘Just because you represent the largest economy in the world doesn’t mean we’re not going to look at other countries,’ ” says Arnavat, who has served as the U.S. executive director of the Inter-American Development Bank. There’s no question that many American companies made significant progress in their negotiations with the Cubans this week. I saw a steady stream of

Cuban government officials stopping in at the pavilion and sitting down with American wine makers, tractor manufacturers and other companies. But the hesitance of the Cubans has been seen in other areas, including a slowdown in Cuban imports from the U.S. Starting in 2000, American businesses have been allowed to sell humanitarian goods to the impoverished island. For years, Americans maintained a steady flow of products to Cuba, peaking with more than $711 million in exports in 2008. But since Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro made their announcement in December, those shipments have plummeted. Exports to Cuba have fallen each of the past four months, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, and U.S. companies are on track to record their weakest year of trading with Cuba since 2002, when the exports were just getting started. Maybe that’s a coincidence. Some feel trade has dropped because the Cubans are using the potential influx of U.S. goods as a negotiating tactic to strike better deals with other countries. Others feel Cuba is simply strapped for cash, forcing it to curb U.S. imports since that’s the only country that doesn’t grant the Cubans credit. Whatever the reason for the trade slowdown or America’s unfortunate placement at the fair, it’s clear Cuba is sending a notso-subtle hint. We have to wait and see if that means this relationship will never really blossom, or if Americans are willing to see it through. Let’s hope the answer is easier to find than the U.S. pavilion.

Texts, messages cracked cop killing Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

It was the increasingly anxious text and Facebook messages that cracked the mysterious death of Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz. After the shooting death of the popular police officer spurred a massive manhunt along the Illinois-Wisconsin border more than two months ago, investigators thought they were dealing with a cold-blooded cop killing. But it was Gliniewicz’s nervous communications, along with questions that FBI analysts and coroners raised, that led the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force to announce Wednesday that the Fox Lake police officer who they initially believed was killed in the line of duty had in fact been stealing money from a police-sponsored youth program. The messages recovered from Gliniewicz’s phone showed he feared his 7-year-old embezzlement scheme was about to be uncovered, said George Filenko, commander of the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force.

“I’m having a great deal of problems with the new village administrator.” Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz

Anne Marrin, Fox Lake’s village administrator, confirmed she had begun scrutinizing the village’s Explorers program prior to Gliniewicz’s death. Police released a series of text and Facebook messages Gliniewicz sent to unidentified individuals. In them, he referred to Marrin as a “power monger.” On March 27, Gliniewicz complained: “Between you and I, I’m having a great deal of problems with the new village administrator. I’ve had a talk with the chief and he agrees with me.” In a June 26 message to another unidentified person, he wrote, “You are borrowing from that ‘other’ account, when you get back (you will) have to start dumping money into that account or you will be visiting me in JAIL!!” In one exchange, Gliniewicz appears to be discussing doing physical harm to the village administrator, writing that he’s thought through “MANY SCENARIOS from planting things to the volo bog!!!” The Volo Bog State Natural Area is a secluded marshy area near Fox Lake.

KEY ISSUES AT STAKE IN THE HISTORIC CHINA-TAIWAN MEETING

Billed as the start of a new era of trust, it may lead to problems Oren Dorell USA TODAY

he meeting Saturday between the leaders of China and Taiwan in Singapore, the first since 1949, is being billed as the start of a new era of cooperation and trust, but it also could lead to problems. Here are five reasons why the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou are key: IT WILL BE THE FIRST MEETING BETWEEN TAIWAN AND CHINA IN 66 YEARS The year was 1949. Taiwan broke away from China when Nationalists fled to the island after being defeated by the Communists, who still rule the mainland today. Although Taiwan has been self-ruled for decades, it has stopped short of claiming formal independence. Beijing maintains that Taiwan is a rebel province that will eventually be fully returned to the mainland, even if force is required. TAIWAN’S POLITICAL STATUS IS AMBIGUOUS The self-ruled island has a U.S.-supplied military and chooses its leaders through independent elections, but Taiwan has not declared its independence and it is not a member of the United Nations. Both China and Taiwan say they seek unification, but Ma has said “the time is not yet ripe” for such talks. Most countries do not maintain full diplomatic relations with Taiwan. The United States maintains “a robust unofficial relationship” with Taiwan and does not support Taiwanese independence, but is committed to its defense, according to the State Department. THERE’S A HISTORY OF ANIMOSITY BETWEEN THE TWO In July, Chinese state media broadcast images of military drills where commandos with the People’s Liberation Army stormed a full-size replica of Taiwan’s presidential palace. In 1996, China fired missiles into the sea off Taiwan’s coast in a failed attempt to deter voters from choosing an independenceminded candidate. The action was also meant to demonstrate Chinese resolve that it would take action to prevent full Taiwanese independence. Mainland Chinese forces bombed Taiwan twice in the 1950s, prompting a U.S. commit-

ELECTIONS IN TAIWAN NEXT YEAR COULD STRAIN THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MAINLAND Ma has sought closer economic ties with China and steered clear of the independence issue, but his policies have been unpopular with many in Taiwan. Ma’s Nationalist Party is behind in the polls leading up to January’s presidential and parliamentary elections. The main pro-independence opposition Democratic Progressive Party, which seeks to slow relations with China, is in the lead, buoyed by a rise in antiChinese and anti-unification sentiments. China is worried that the Progressive Party’s candidate, Tsai Ing-wen, will actively work toward independence, said Richard Bush III, a China analyst at the Brookings Institution in Washington. THE MEETING COMES AS CHINA IS ACTING MORE ASSERTIVELY IN THE REGION China is reviving old claims to islands also claimed by U.S. allies and others, leading to standoffs on the high seas with Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam. China’s construction of runways and ports on once-uninhabited atolls in the South China Sea prompted the United States to send warships to demonstrate the U.S. pledge that building new islands does not change the status of international waters.

JEB BUSH TANKS IN POLL AFTER LAST GOP DEBATE

Support for Jeb Bush among Republicans across the nation has plummeted to only 4% in the latest Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday.

That’s down from 10% in September. The former Florida governor has sought to reset his campaign this week with a new “Jeb can fix it” slogan and tour in the wake of staff cutbacks and criticism of his performances on the campaign trail and in debates. The new survey found that among Republicans and Republican-leaning voters, Bush lost the last debate on Oct. 28 by a resounding margin — some 40% said he did the worst job. The second-worst place went to Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 15%. — Donovan Slack ALSO:

SAN FRANCISCO After fighting off efforts to further regulate short-term housing rentals in its home town, Airbnb made clear it plans to flex the company’s newfound political muscle using what it learned during the battle. “What took place here in San Francisco has informed us enormously.

Proposition F would have limited users of Airbnb and other short-term rental websites to renting out rooms, houses or apartments for no more than 75 days a year per unit, down from the current 90 now permitted. On Tuesday, 55% of San Francisco voters rejected the initiative, which was brought to the ballot by a petition drive. The win was not decisive. Initiatives require majority voter approval to pass and Airbnb outspent proponents of the measure 8 to 1. The San Francisco-based short-term rental platform put more than $8.5 million into the fight. Supporters, which included hotel unions, some hotel owners and housing advocates, spent closer to $800,000, the

MONEYLINE VW HALTS AUDI SALES AFTER EPA ACCUSATION Volkswagen has halted sales of certain Audi luxury models after the Environmental Protection Agency accused the vehicles of violating emissions standards. The stop-sale order issued to U.S. dealers covers 3-liter, 6-cylinder diesel versions of the 2015-16 Audi A6, A7, A8 and Q5, as well as certified pre-owned models. Those plush vehicles are among the most profitable for Volkswagen. EXPEDIA BUYS HOMEAWAY FOR ABOUT $3.9 BILLION Expedia announced Wednesday that it will purchase HomeAway, paying roughly $3.9 billion for the vacation rental marketplace. It’s the latest acquisition for Expedia, the No. 1 digital travel provider, which has been scooping up rivals and other players in the travel space, and purchased Orbitz Worldwide for roughly $1.6 billion earlier this year. HomeAway’s stock was up 22% in after-hours trading on the news. The company says it represents 1 million paid listings in 190 countries.

Says December move ‘a live possibility,’ but no decision yet Paul Davidson @PDavidsonusat USA TODAY

The Federal Reserve may be closer than ever to hiking interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade after Fed Chair Janet Yellen told Congress on Wednesday that a move at its meeting next month is “a live possibility.” Yellen’s remarks came a day af-

ter leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump asserted that the Fed has kept rates low as a political favor to PresiGETTY IMAGES dent Obama, a Fed Chair charge White Janet Yellen House officials dismissed. With another GOP debate scheduled next Tuesday, the question of whether the Fed boosts rates at its final meeting be-

fore the 2016 election year could continue to serve as a political football despite the Fed’s status as an independent agency. The Dow Jones industrial average extended losses after Yellen began her testimony, falling as much as 80 points before partly recovering later in the day. Although economic and job growth has slowed recently, Yellen told the House Financial Services committee the economy is performing well. But a decision on whether to hoist rates at the Fed’s Dec. 15-16 meeting will depend on economic reports in coming weeks,

she said. Her comments put outsize significance on the government’s employment report Friday. Payroll gains of around 200,000 could go a long way toward solidifying expectations for a rate increase while a total significantly below that would mark the third consecutive month of weak advances and could make the move unlikely. Economists expect 182,000 job gains, a total Barclays Capital says would be enough to allay concerns and raise the odds of Fed action. The 5.1% unemployment rate is expected to fall to a nearnormal 5%.

HAIMARK LINE

CRUISE LINE HAIMARK FILES FOR CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY Cruise newcomer Haimark Line has filed for bankruptcy protection just months after beginning operations. The small-ship cruise operator plans to reorganize under the Chapter 11 section of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the line says in a statement sent to USA TODAY. As of now, future cruises remain on the schedule. Haimark had a troubled start this summer. Its only ship, the 210-passenger Saint Laurent, crashed into a lock while navigating the St. Lawrence Seaway weeks after its May 30 debut. It was out of service for a month, and four cruises were canceled. TESLA CEO: CARS ALL WILL BE SELF-DRIVING IN 20 YEARS Tesla Motors’ CEO Elon Musk has seen the future, and it’s about self-driving cars. “All cars will go fully autonomous in the long term,” Musk said.

Cars that steer the old-fashioned way, by hand, will be deemed so inferior that “it will be like owning a horse.”

FAST-FOOD WORKERS READY FOR THEIR BIGGEST STRIKE YET Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Fast-food workers, already a potent political force, are planning their largest nationwide strike yet next week and this time will leverage their crusade for a $15-an-hour wage in a bid to sway the 2016 presidential election. The group representing the workers, Fight for $15, plans on Tuesday to stage protests at restaurants in 270 cities, the most since it began organizing the demonstrations three years ago. Striking fast-food and other low-wage workers will then gather at local city halls, kicking off a campaign to prod their colleagues to vote next November for local, state and national candidates who support the $15 pay floor. Labor and other groups will simultaneously rally in about 200 other cities, and the daylong blitz will culminate with a protest by several thousand workers at the Republican presidential debate in Milwaukee. “We’re putting politicians on notice that we’re going to hold them accountable,” says Kendall Fells, the organizing director of Fight for $15, a group funded by the Service Employees International Union. All of the top Democratic presidential candidates, including Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, have said they back a federal minimum wage of $12 to $15, and have made the growing divide between rich and poor a centerpiece of their campaigns. Most of the Republican contenders oppose raising the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour. Like the restaurant industry, they say it will hurt job growth. But Fells said, “This is not about a candidate, and it’s not about a party,” adding workers will vote for candidates of any

party that support the cause. Over the next year — the walkouts will be Nov. 10, exactly 12 months before the election — the group plans to mobilize many of the 64 million Americans who earn less than $15 an hour with neighborhood drives to register and vote. Nearly 70% of unregistered voters would sign up and a similar share of registered voters would be more likely to go to the polls if there were a presidential candidate in favor of a $15 minimum wage and workers’ right to unionize, according to a recent poll by Harris interactive and YouGov for the National Employment Law Project. NELP estimates those factions represent about 48 million potential voters. “This set of issues can motivate voters who have not been engaged in the election process” and tip races in swing states, says Neera Tanden, president of the liberal Center for American Progress. Terrence Owens, 36, of Kansas City, Mo., earns $8 an hour at jobs at McDonald’s and Burger King and has participated in earlier protests. He says he has never voted because, “I truly thought my vote wouldn’t matter much” and he was just “trying to make it to the next day.” But noting that the low-paid worker demonstrations have led to significant advances, he plans to vote for the first time next year. “I’m seeing I can make a change,” he says. The movement has been credited with coaxing cities such as Seattle and Los Angeles to raise their hourly minimums to $15 an hour, and with pressuring companies such as Walmart, Target and McDonald’s to increase worker pay. But Owens is rankled by the legislature’s recent decision in his state to block Kansas City’s hike in the hourly minimum to $13.

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

After the stock market’s heady run that powered it within 1% of a record high, a chorus of Wall Street pros are warning that the market may be gassed and ready for a pause. Or at least facing limited upside in the short term. Wednesday, that storyline played out as the benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500, which entered the session within 21 points of a record high high, retreated 7.5 points or 0.35%, to close at 2,012.31. The index remains 1.3% shy of its May 21 closing peak of 2,130.82. The cooling trend did not come without warning, as a slew of stock market missives zapped out by Wall Street pros early Wednesday said a stalling market was a

King of social media still has room for growth Q: Can I still profit from Facebook? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Facebook showed yet again it’s the king of social media. Investors who want to get a piece now had better prepare to pay up. The operator of the largest social media platform late Wednesday delivered an adjusted quarterly profit per share of 57 cents, topping expectations by nearly 10%, according to S&P Capital IQ. It’s not just a cost-cutting story, either. Facebook’s revenue hit $4.5 billion during the quarter, a 41% increase from the same period a year ago. All this is good news for the company — but bad news for investors who want to get into the stock. Facebook shares are up more than 30% this year — a strong increase that has pushed the company’s valuation to nosebleed levels. Facebook is now trading for more than 100 times diluted earnings the past 12 months. That’s a lofty valuation that’s nearly four times the company’s expected long-term growth rate of 28%. New Constructs calls the stock “dangerous” at current levels relative to the present value of cash flow it’s expected to generate in the future. Analysts, though, still think the stock has room to run — calling for Facebook to be worth $111.56 a share in 18 months. That would be 7% upside from Wednesday’s closing price of $103.94.

York) or any other bank with American origin as the danger exists that the amount will be frozen in the USA.” The settlement, which includes appointment of an independent monitor, came nearly a week after the bank announced plans to cut 35,000 jobs, close operations in several countries and make other changes in a bid to reverse declining profits and address the bank’s regulatory missteps. The agreement also marks the latest in a string of settlements by major banks accused of violating U.S. sanctions in order to maintain lucrative business with

blacklisted nations. Despite Wednesday’s Deutsche Bank outcome, federal and city prosecutors in New York City are continuing criminal investigations of the bank’s conduct, The New York Times reported. “We are committed to investigating and pursuing sanctions violations and money laundering at financial institutions,” said Anthony Albanese, acting superintendent of the state regulator. Deutsche Bank said it ended the outlawed transactions several years ago and terminated all business dealings with the countries and financial entities involved.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY? BAD DAY TAYLOR SWIFT Sued again, this time by an R&B singer recording as Jesse Graham, who says she ripped off some lyrics in ‘Shake It Off’ (“Haters gonna hate, hate, hate”) from his own 2013 song with similar phrasing. He wants $42 million. And by Wednesday, the YouTube video of his song had nearly 1.4 million views.

SHARON STONE IS BACK IN ACTION ON ‘AGENT X’ Bill Keveney USA TODAY

JON KOPALOFF, FILMMAGIC

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Oscar nominee and big-screen femme fatale Sharon Stone (Casino, Basic Instinct) moves to TV with TNT’s Agent X (Sunday, 9 p.m. ET/PT), playing the nation’s first female vice president, Natalie Maccabee. The No. 2 job comes with a cool perk: secret weapon John Case (Jeff Hephner), who battles enemies at home and abroad. The drama features Gerald McRaney, Jamey Sheridan, John Shea and James Earl Jones. Stone, 57, talks to USA TODAY about Agent X; acting with the legendary Jones; and recovering from a stroke and brain hemorrhage in 2001.

Q: How would you describe Agent X? A: It’s kind of a popcorn TV show, a political action-thriller that brings current issues into a family environment so you can talk about them but doesn’t have to be so heavy. Politics are intriguing and the law is interesting and, these days, there’s no end to criminals. So, we try to bring in at least one hot, sexy one every week. There’s nothing like a hot, sexy criminal to make your Sunday special. Q: What is the significance of playing Natalie Maccabee? A: I want (my children) to see a capable woman in the White House, maybe someone who isn’t so likable right off the bat.

Q: Do you get in on the action scenes? A: I have a couple of small things, but Jeff has worked tirelessly to get himself in this extraordinary physical condition because he does all that stuff. At the end of every episode, he’s literally lying on the floor in the hair-and-makeup room. Q: What’s it like working with James Earl Jones, who plays the chief justice of the Supreme Court? A: He’s very dear to me. I started working with him when I was 24 years old. ... I just love and admire him. Q: You received a lot of attention for a recent nude photo shoot in Harper’s Bazaar.

Were you happy you did that? A: When I did Shape the year before, I was all nervous, and I worked out and tried so hard. (For Harper’s Bazaar), I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I’ll just do that,’ and I didn’t really think about it. Then, I went to the shoot and, ‘Oh, woooo! I have to do this today.’ It was a bit daunting and then I just rolled through the day and I forgot about it. ... I couldn’t have been more surprised that it was such a big deal. Q: Have you fully recovered from the stroke and brain hemorrhage? A: It took a long time to recover. Then, you ... find yourself at the back of the line in your business, as I did. You have to figure yourself out all over again.

The clichéd ghosts of James Bond past haunt Spectre, an action adventure whose biggest failure is looking back on 007’s own REVIEW BRIAN success. TRUITT Never coming close to the style or substance of 2012’s previous installment, Skyfall, Daniel Craig’s fourth turn as the superspy isn’t his worst, and he and director Sam Mendes remain a dynamic duo for the franchise. As much as Spectre flirts with breaking from tradition, though, it leans too heavily on vehicles and explosions aplenty, gorgeous women and dastardly villains that hardcore Bond fans expect. Right from the start, Bond goes rogue on a mission to Mexico to track down an assassin. His boss, M (Ralph Fiennes), is none too pleased with him, since a government bureaucrat (Andrew Scott) is trying to shut down the “double-0” program of secret agents in favor of a collective using drones and surveillance. Christoph Waltz turns the evil

SPECTRE

eegE

STARS Daniel Craig, Léa Seydoux, Christoph Waltz DIRECTOR Sam Mendes RATING PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, disturbing images, sensuality and language RUNNING TIME 2 hours, 28 minutes Opens Friday nationwide

JONATHAN OLLEY

Daniel Craig’s James Bond is back in the game in Spectre. up to 11 for Franz Oberhauser, the leader of a secretive roundtable of terrorists known as SPECTRE, who has a surprise in store for Bond — but only after 007 meets Austrian doctor Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), a love interest who hangs with the suave spy while he takes out baddies in the Alps, on a train and back in jolly old England before the explosive climax.

Craig’s Bond lacks the polish of Roger Moore’s and Pierce Brosnan’s versions, and for the better. Seydoux’s Swann is a strong female counterpoint to his bruising ways, but their romantic chemistry never comes together. Monica Bellucci and Stephanie Sigman are wasted in small parts that exist only to move the plot forward. But as SPECTRE’s Mr. Hinx,

Dave Bautista turns in an inspired performance that nicely lives alongside past henchmen such as Jaws and Oddjob. Instead of creating something new, the movie recycles the past, with recognizable throwbacks to Sean Connery, and defaults to what’s come before by the end. It’s an odd decision, considering how successful the prior movie was with experimenting with the norm, as well as having to compete in pop culture postJason Bourne and Jack Bauer. Rehashing old James Bond material 50 years later isn’t likely to shake or stir anyone nowadays.

What nerves? KANSAS 89, PITTSBURG STATE 66

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD CARLTON BRAGG JR. (15) DELIVERS A THUNDEROUS DUNK amid a trio of Pittsburg State defenders in the Jayhawks’ 89-66 exhibition victory on Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Bragg calms down, sparks Jayhawks By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Carlton Bragg tossed and turned in bed on Tuesday night, hours before his exhibition debut with Kansas University’s basketball team. “I couldn’t sleep. I went to sleep about 1 and got up earlier than usual. I had a lot of nerves for my first college game. It was good, though,” Bragg, KU’s 6-foot-9 freshman power forward from Cleveland, said after erupting for 14 points off 7-of-12 shooting and grabbing six rebounds while playing 21 minutes in KU’s 89-66 rout of Pittsburg State in Allen Fieldhouse. He was able to make it

In fact, to soothe himself, he went to the Kansas Union to play the piano, a hobby of his that he displayed at the 2015 Late Night in the Phog. Did the sweet tunes have the desired effect? “Yes, yes, a lot,” he said.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIOR ASHLEY WILLIAMS (9) AND FRESHMAN PARKER ROBERTS celebrate Williams’ first-half goal in KU’s 2-1 Big 12 tournament victory over Texas on Wednesday in Kansas City, Missouri.

Kansas City, Mo. — A matchup against All-Big 12 first-team goalie Abby Smith did not faze Kansas University’s soccer team. The Jayhawks defeated Texas, 2-1, Wednesday in a conference tournament quarterfinal contest at Swope Soccer Village. Senior Ashley Williams gave the Jayhawks the early edge as she pushed the ball past Smith in the second minute. Williams found the back of the net for the fourth time of the season after junior

Tayler Estrada threaded a pass through three UT defenders for the assist. “She put it on a platter,” Williams said. “All I had to do was redirect into the back of the net.” While the second-minute goal gave the Jayhawks confidence against Smith, it was KU sophomore goalie Maddie Dobyns who stole the show. Dobyns collected six saves as she fended off the Longhorns’ late push to tie it. “Dobby was huge tonight,” KU coach Mark Francis said. “Earlier in the season, she was a little hesitant coming off her line for

some stuff. She’s really improved in that area.” Kansas (9-8-2 overall and the No. 6 seed in the conference tournament) seized control early, outshooting Texas, 4-1, in the first 30 minutes. After UT’s second shot of the match, Kansas quickly countered and had a golden opportunity to go up 2-0 on the No. 3-seeded Longhorns. Junior forward Ashley Pankey earned a penalty kick for the Jayhawks in the 31st minute when she was fouled in the box. Senior Liana Salazar stepped up to take the PK, Please see SOCCER, page 3C

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Beaty open to quarterback combo By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Whether it’s because of injury or a desire to add a wrinkle to their offense, six Big 12 Conference programs have used at least two quarterbacks as a part of their attack during the 2015 season. Kansas University, which enters this week’s game at Texas with an 0-8 record and an 0-5 mark in Big 12 play, is one of them. And although injuries to starter Montell Cozart and juniorcollege transfer Deondre Ford have forced the Jayhawks to lock in on true freshman Ryan Willis as their signal-caller, firstyear KU coach David Beaty did not rule out the idea of playing two QBs should Cozart be able to return this season.

“Absolutely,” said Beaty w h e n asked if he could envision playing Cozart and Willis Cozart at some point this season. “When you’ve got a guy that really his strength is not running, but you’ve got another guy his strength might be running, there’s a chance for us to do that.” Although this stance is a dramatic departure from Beaty’s strong comments in the preseason about not wanting to employ a two-quarterback approach, it also shows the rookie head coach’s ability and willingness to adapt to adversity.

T h e possibility exists that Cozart, a junior who started t h r e e of KU’s Willis first four g a m e s this season before injuring his shoulder against Iowa State, could get this season of eligibility back via medical red-shirt. Because of that, Beaty said KU would not rush Cozart back onto the field. “Right now, it’s going to be up to how much he is continuing to get well,” Beaty said. “There’s no way he can take a hit right now on that shoulder. I think we’re going to see over the next couple weeks how he does (and) if he can help us in that

regard when he’s back, absolutely.” That, Beaty said, was the main focus of both the team and the player. “We’re trying to get him back,” he said.

Shelley-Smith improves Beaty said left tackle Jordan Shelley-Smith, who sat out last week’s loss to Oklahoma after suffering a concussion late in the loss at Oklahoma State the week before, was on track to be back in the lineup Saturday at Texas. Beaty did not guarantee that Shelley-Smith would start or play, but said as long as Shelley-Smith continued to improve and did not get dinged up in practice that he likely would be out there in Austin this weekend.

most about his group of freshmen, many of whom have played key roles and a high number of snaps during their first season of college football, Beaty was quick to answer. “Work ethic, resiliency, willing to do what you ask them to do,” he said. “Those are the things that I like about this group. We have a lot of really good kids in there, which is good. I think that has a lot to do with the older guys. You’d be surprised how much the environment affected the younger guys. Our seniors, for the most part, have been really good. I told them the other day, ‘I can promise you one thing, I will never let you be forgotten,’ because they Never forgotten have done an amazing job Asked what he liked for us.”

If not, true freshmen Clyde McCaulley and Larry Hughes, who filled in for Shelley-Smith along with senior Larry Mazyck, would get another opportunity to gain valuable experience and a greater understanding of what it takes to compete in the Big 12. “That’s really one of the areas we’ve got to get to with (Clyde) and Larry, improving their strength,” Beaty said. “The great news is their strength numbers have gone up significantly from the time they got here. We’re just not to the level of a thirdyear Big 12 player yet. That’s because you don’t get third-year results in six months. You get that in years. We’ll get there.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S LIANA SALAZAR (21) and Parker Roberts (22) and Texas’ Ali Schmalz chase down the ball during their Big 12 tournament soccer match. The Jayhawks defeated the Longhorns, 2-1, in the first round of the tournament on Wednesday night at Swope Park Soccer Village in Kansas City, Missouri.

but fired it off the right post to keep Kansas’ advantage at 1-0. KU junior Jackie Georgoulis gave KU some breathing room after she blasted her second career goal past Smith in the 73rd minute. Georgoulis scored after a shot from Hanna Kallmaier deflected off the post and bounced back to her foot. “I think it’s great for Jackie,” Francis said. “I honestly think she played really well today. She battled and won balls in the air, and that’s what Jackie does.” Georgoulis’ goal proved to be the gamewinner since Texas’ Kayra Dollas answered two minutes later to bring Texas back within one. The Longhorns had two golden chances to pull even in the final 10 minutes, but Dobyns made a diving save on a header from Lindsey

Meyer in the 83rd and a leaping stab at a one-timer from Isabelle Kerr in the 88th. “Maddie had amazing saves at huge times,” Williams said. “She played fantastic, and you couldn’t have asked for anything more from her.” Wednesday’s match snapped a five-match winless streak for Kansas. The Jayhawks were 0-4-1 since their last victory on Oct. 11 against Oklahoma at Rock Chalk Park. Kansas advanced to face No. 2 seed Baylor at 8 p.m. Friday in the semifinals after the Bears defeated TCU 7-6 in penalty kicks after they were tied at 1-1 after double overtime. No. 1 seed West Virginia and No. 4 seed Texas Tech will square off in the other semifinal match at 5:30 p.m. Friday. The Jayhawks edged the Bears, 1-0, Oct. 9 at Rock Chalk Park. “Baylor is a tough team to play against,” Francis said. “They fight, and they battle, and it’s always a battle against them.”

Kansas University men’s basketball, men’s golf and women’s golf posted a 100 percent graduation success rate (GSR) in results released by the NCAA on Wednesday. It was the fourth year in a row the men’s basketball team had a perfect score, the third year in a row for men’s golf and the second consecutive season for women’s golf. Ten KU programs had at least an 80 percent GSR, and the Jayhawks combined to post a combined 84 percent GSR, one percentage point off last year’s department-recordtying 85.

KANSAS 89, PITT STATE 66

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Gorillas impressed (again) by Ellis By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Just a few minutes after watching Kansas University senior Perry Ellis explode for 22 points and 12 rebounds during Wednesday’s 89-66 KU victory at Allen Fieldhouse, Pittsburg State basketball coach Kevin Muff was asked what he thought of Ellis. The punishment the Wichita native dished out to Muff’s team did nothing to change his mind about KU’s leading scorer and top weapon. “I love him,” Muff said. “No. 1, he’s a Kansas guy. Just a highly skilled (player), great hands, great feel for the game. I want nothing but the best for that young man, mainly because of the type of person he is. I just love the way he plays.”

KU coach Bill Self said during the preseason that Ellis was leaner and noticeably more explosive heading into his final season with the Jayhawks. Muff agreed with Self and said Ellis’ new look was on full display Wednesday. “I thought he was (leaner) versus two years ago when I was here, just seeing him in person,” Muff said. “I think he is leaner, and he’s definitely lost some weight, and I think the way they call the post defensively now, if he can square guys up and get any hands on him, it’s automatic. He really doesn’t have to be a backto-the-basket guy, and I think that plays right into his wheelhouse.” Pitt State senior Josiah Gustafson, who drew the unenviable but exciting challenge of guarding El-

lis for most of Wednesday’s game, said his goal was to make Ellis work. “You just gotta attack him,” said Gustafson, who held his own on the stat sheet with 20 points and eight rebounds. “The game plan was to deny him real hard. If he doesn’t touch the ball, I don’t have to guard him. We just tried to take him out of what he does best. Being a D-II school like this, you just go in and try to compete and give them everything you’ve got.” For a while, everything the Gorillas had included relentless physical play and a game that more closely resembled the Big 12 in February than an exhibition opener. “They have an unlimited amount of big bodies, and it’s different for us,” Gustafson said. “But that just comes from con-

ditioning and having the heart and never backing down from anybody.” Added Muff: “I thought we played extremely hard. It was kind of an ugly game, but I thought both teams competed. ... That’s kind of what we see our job as, come in here and give them as good of a game as we can.” In addition to being pleased with the way his team competed, other than the 15-3 KU run that closed the first half, Muff, like all small-school coaches who come into Allen Fieldhouse, was thankful for the opportunity. “I’d do this every year if we could,” Muff said. “More for my players, just to be able to experience being in this arena KANSAS FORWARD PERRY ELLIS, LEFT, PULLS DOWN A and this setting. I think REBOUND over Pittsburg State forward Denton Hays (22) and guard Dakota Jones. it’s great for them.”

dunk and a one-hander off a pass from Perry Ellis (22 points, 12 boards). “I thought he was the best player in the game,” KU coach Bill Self said of Bragg. “He played with energy. He played with a smile on his face. I thought he did terrific for a young kid out there. What Perry gave us was his standard. I thought he (Bragg) was the best player in the game. All our players did, too, in the locker room.” Self loved Bragg’s touch on the high/low dish. “It looked like Marcus or Markieff making that play,” Self said of the Morris twins, who were effective as juniors on the high/low. “I don’t want to get giddy saying this is the ultimate performance, but he has been consistently good.” Sophomore guard Devonté Graham (seven points, eight assists, eight rebounds) said he loved Bragg’s enthusiasm. “The energy he brings

He kind of took that role that I had last year,” Graham said. Bragg said the smile is by design. “My high school coach told me, ‘Always keep smiling. Your face should never change on the court,’” Bragg said.

He was asked about the white adidas headband he wore during the contest. Not many players in the 13-year Self era have worn headbands. “It took a lot of hard work to get this headband. He (Self) finally decided it was cool,” Bragg

said with a smile. “I had to prove it to him. “It’s part of my game,” he added, noting he has worn one “my whole life.” Self said his headband rules are simple. “My rule is whatever they wear every day in practice and high school ... they can do that once

they get here. They just can’t change who they are once they get here,” Self said. “Aaron Miles wore one, too. J.R. Giddens wore a headband in his time here. If a guy wants to wear something to call attention to himself that he’s never done, we’re not going to go for that. He (Bragg) didn’t have to negotiate.” Frank Mason III had 14 points, four rebounds and four assists and Mickelson 10 points, six rebounds and four blocks in 13 minutes for the Jayhawks, who hit just four of 19 threes and 48.6 percent of their shots overall to Pitt State’s 28.2 percent. “Our perimeter play was deplorable,” Self said. “Frank, Devonté had good stretches. Our five main perimeter guys played ... that’s as poorly as we can play. They exposed us. They were quicker than us. We didn’t guard the ball. We didn’t slide very well. Those are great things to be pointed out. Now we know we can be exposed very easy.” KU will meet Fort Hays State at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Allen.

The thing about it is it may be a long time, it could be a long time just because if there’s a ruling ... if it does not go the way you want, there are numerous opportunities you have to fight in (appeal).”

Bill Self spent his Wednesday morning and afternoon working as an administrator, not as a basketball coach. “I didn’t prepare for the game (an 89-66 exhibition victory over Pittsburg State). I didn’t go to practice today. I didn’t meet with the team pre-game. I was in meetings all day,” said Self, trying to help resolve the Cheick Diallo eligibility situation. Diallo, KU’s 6-foot9 freshman forward from Mali, has yet to be deemed academically eligible for competition by the NCAA Eligibility Center. “This was the worst day a coach could have to open a season because you should be excited about a season. You spend all day dealing with other things that are more important than your actual season. Of course that has to be done. I totally understand that. It’s disappointing we’re dealing with it on Nov. 4,” Self added. Self told Diallo at 4 p.m. that he wouldn’t be playing in the exhibition game because his case remains ongoing. “There wasn’t progress, but there were certainly talks. The talks are ongoing,” Self said. “The process is still playing itself out. I was very disappointed for Cheick that we let him know at 4 o’clock today he wouldn’t be suited up, but that’s the nature of the busi-

Certainly I’m hopeful everybody is working diligently to try to resolve this in the earliest manner it can possibly be resolved. It’s disappointing, but one in which it wasn’t from a lack of effort today on our part, I’ll say that.” Self was asked if this is a situation where Diallo might be eligible for a certain amount of games, say, second semester. “I would like to say that is not possible, but after going through the process I’d say anything is possible,” Self said. “Not putting any blame or fault on anything. It’s just there’s a few moving parts. The NCAA has to follow policy on those parts. So it can be a little frustrating, but certainly it’s not one at this point and time to stand up and

Gordon declines option, will test free agency Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — All-Star outfielder Alex Gordon of the Kansas City Royals declined his player option for next season Wednesday and will test free agency for the first time, though he could still return to the World Series champions. The four-time Gold Glove winner has spent his entire nine-year career with the Royals, who drafted him second overall in 2005. But it has only been in the past few years that he has truly flourished, driving up his value while helping Kansas City to this year’s title. Gordon’s option rose to $13.75 million after he achieved a series of escalators. He will be 32 in February, which means this may be his last opportunity to sign a lucrative long-term deal, though both sides have expressed interest in Gordon remaining in Kansas City. Gordon hit .271 with 13 home runs and 48 RBIs in 104 games during the regular season. His decision was the most significant to come down Wednesday as the Royals, just 24 hours after celebrating their championship with a downtown parade, began turning their attention to 2016. Earlier in the day, the Royals declined mutual options on right fielder Alex Rios and starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie. They still had not announced whether they

On Wednesday, Gordon declined his option and will test the free-agent market. had exercised club options on All-Star reliever Wade Davis, All-Star shortstop Alcides Escobar or outfielder Jonny Gomes. General manager Dayton Moore and manager Ned Yost were due to speak to reporters today. “Our farm system is very, very strong,” Hall of Famer George Brett, now a special assistant in the front office, said earlier Wednesday. “Who knows? If Gordon decides to leave or Rios is no longer on the team, we’ve got a couple of guys in TripleA that hit over .300 with 20-something home runs and 100-something RBIs. OK, so maybe we give these guys a shot. They’re built for the long haul.” The 34-year-old Rios had a $12.5 million option with a $1.5 million buyout, while the 36-year-old

George Brett had one more mighty moment in baseball’s postseason center stage. The Hall of Famer expected to take a seat after the world champion Kansas City Royals completed their 2.3-mile parade route and were set to address hundreds of thousands of fans at a downtown Kansas City, Missouri, rally. In a pinch, the Royals called on the franchise’s greatest player to take his cut with a celebratory speech. “What am I on stage for?” Brett said, laughing. “What am I doing with a microphone?” Brett still stands as an icon in Kansas City and throughout the Midwest for his three-decade career with the Royals that included the 1985 World Series championship. Until this month, that title stood alone as the only one in franchise history. Gordo, Hoz, Moose and Salvy changed that dreary stat with a 4-1 series win over the New York Mets. “These guys are the

best team ever. Ever!” Brett told the crowd at a rally at Union Station. Brett, now a team vice president, was wowed by a parade that had fans stuffed 30 people deep and happy to catch even a glimpse of Lorenzo Cain waving over a sea of heads. “We had 800,000 freakin’ people at the parade,” Brett said. “I didn’t know we had 800,000 people in this town. I’ve never seen so many people in all my life. It was the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen.” Brett retired in 1993 with 3,154 hits, three batting titles, two World Series appearances, one notorious wad of pine tar and a firm spot as the third baseman on the best team in Kansas City. One agonizing win from a World Series championship last year, this year’s Royals became the first team since the 2002 Angels to come from behind in all four World Series wins. That was enough for Brett to make his bold proclamation for all of baseball to hear. “I really believe it is the best team,” Brett told the Associated Press on

Guthrie had a $10 million option with a $3.2 million buyout. Both moves had been expected. Davis and Escobar are near-locks to return to Kansas City. The hard-throwing Davis, who has an $8 million option, took over as the closer when Greg Holland required Tommy John surgery. He wound up saving four games in the postseason, and recorded the final out in the 12th inning of Game 5 against the New York Mets in the World Series.

Wednesday. “Somebody asked me if the ’85 team could beat this team. In a seven-game series, we might beat them twice. This is the better team.” Brett stands alone as the only man to win batting titles in three decades (’76, ‘80, ‘90). And his .390 average in 1980 — just five hits shy of .400 — is the highest in the majors in more than 70 years. Brett also knows his Royals teams never enjoyed the widespread popularity as this crop of playoff perennials that made them a hit from the heartland to Hollywood — actor Paul Rudd is a devoted fan and even crashed the champagne bash in New York. After the Royals won a playoff series last year, some players, led by Eric Hosmer, hit a bar in the Power and Light District and picked up a $15,000 tab for partying fans. “That goes a long way toward being so accessible to your fans,” Brett said. “It wasn’t like this in the 80s. I’ve never seen so many Royals T-shirts, so much Royal blue memorabilia anywhere.”
