CURBSIDE RECYCLING
‘Really good’ numbers please city 4,090 tons of recyclables collected in nine months; fee concerns linger By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

The material all came from the city’s single-stream, curbside recycling program, which allows residents to set out glass, cardboard, newspapers, plastics and other materials in a single container at their curbs. In addition to what was collected through the curbside program, the city also

collected 1,917 tons of material through city-operated drop box locations and through programs that the city has to recycle cardboard from industrial customers and others. Lawrence residents, though, still generated a lot of trash that went into the landfill. Even though curbside recycling has made it more convenient to recycle, the amount of trash Lawrence is sending to the landfill actually has increased in the last nine months. City crews took 48,665 tons of trash to the landfill north of Lawrence. That amount is an increase of about 4 percent — or about 2,000 tons — from the first nine months of last year, according to the city’s figures. Richardson said she thinks debris from construction projects generated a large part of the increase in trash. Building permit totals have set a new record in 2015, and the debris from those construction projects can add significantly to the city’s overall landfill totals. The Lawrence City Commission, when it approved the recycling program, said it hopes to eventually achieve a 50 percent recycling rate in the city. As part of this most recent report, the city did not calculate an overall recycling rate. To calculate the rate, the city has to measure a variety of sources including its curbside program, its industrial collections and the city’s yard waste collections. In addition, the most recent report listed the income and cost of the program. Prices for recycled materials have been low for much of the year, and the city consequently has not received much revenue from the curbside program. Here’s a look at some of the totals: l In the first nine months, the city received $333 from the sale of the
recyclable materials collected as part of the curbside program. The city’s contract with Hamm calls for the city to be paid for the materials, but only when the average price per ton for recyclables reaches $51. Only in July and August did the price reach more than $51 a ton, according to the city’s figures. l The city’s contract with Hamm — a major solid waste company based in Jefferson County — calls for the city to pay a fee of $45 a ton for Hamm to process the materials because glass is included in the materials. When glass is part of a curbside recycling program, it often breaks and the small pieces of glass become hard to recycle and can become contaminated by the other materials, which adds to the cost of processing. Many other communities in the region do not pay a similar $45 per ton fee, according to recycling leaders from several other communities in the region. As a result of the fee, Lawrence has paid Hamm $240,000 in recycling tipping fees since the program began last October, according to a story published last week in the Journal-World. That story detailed the difficulties and expense of mixing glass at the curb with other materials such as cardboard and paper. l The city also pays a tipping fee to dispose of trash in the landfill, which also is operated by Hamm. That fee is $28 per ton. The city sent 48,665 tons of trash to the landfill for a cost of $1.4 million, according to the city report. Mayor Mike Amyx said he believed the overall recycling program was working well. But he said he was concerned about the cost of glass. “We need to talk about that,” he said. “We need to make sure we’re getting the same deal as everybody else.” Commissioner Leslie Soden said if city staff could find a better way to

As the Wichita Eagle has noted, it overlaps with three Democratic House districts, and voters there supported Democrat Paul Davis, of Lawrence, by double digits over Brownback in the 2014 gubernatorial race. Democrats also have a candidate, Michael Czerniewski, teed up to run against Sen. Greg Smith in the 21st District of Johnson County. But moderate and progressive groups are said to be pinning their hopes more on Dinah Sykes, a former PTA president whose website features a picture of her in a bright red shirt, kind of a symbol of teachers unions and other pro-public education groups. Reporters were also being told Friday to watch for another announcement in the 32nd District, where a high-profile Democrat is expected to announce against Sen. Steve Abrams of Arkansas City. Democrats have been steadily losing senate seats for the past 25 years. They’re now at only eight seats in the 40-seat chamber, down from 13 after the 1992 elections. They haven’t seen a net gain of senate seats in any election since the 1980s. For most of that time, though, they were able to form working alliances with moderate Republicans on issues such as K-12 and higher education spending, as well as abortion and other social issues. But that coalition was decimated after the 2012 elections when the Kansas Chamber and other groups allied with Brownback took control by backing conservative Republicans to challenge sitting moderates. — This is an excerpt from Peter Hancock’s “Statehouse Live” column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

Dale Nimz, sustainability advisory board chairman, said he believed the recycling program was working well. “I think we realize the single-stream system is a big change for the better, but I also think it will take a while to see how it works,” he said. He pointed out that Hamm had spent a lot of money building the recycling facility north of Lawrence. “Hamm made a very large investment that is right outside of our town,” he said. “That is a significant investment.”

College course Oktoberfest fun is no tall order proposed on registering to vote in Kansas Topeka (ap) — A new course has been designed to help students learn how to register to vote because new state laws have made the process more complicated, supporters said. The League of Women Voters and professors at three Kansas public universities unveiled the proposal Saturday, saying it came in response to a disproportionately large number of younger voters on the state’s suspended voters list, The Wichita Eagle reported. The newspaper reported earlier this year that more than 40 percent of the nearly 37,000 people in the suspended voter list are younger than 30. The course will begin this fall at Washburn, Emporia State and Fort Hays State universities. Supporters hope high schools and colleges across the state will use it next year before the 2016 elections. Marge Ahrens, copresident of the League’s Kansas chapter, said the course will teach students how to register both themselves and others. “They can register their friends,” Ahrens said. “If they wish they can tackle one or two (names) on the suspense list.” The state’s suspended voters list is controversial. Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s office has been enforcing a rule that removes the names of people who don’t provide proof of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, within 90 days. Kobach has repeatedly said the citizenship requirement will prevent voting by noncitizens and that 90 days is a reasonable deadline. Michael Smith, a political science professor at Emporia State University, said research found the highest concentrations of suspended voters are in inner city neighborhoods and college towns, with high numbers of suspended voters living on or near the campuses of Kansas University and Kansas State University. Mark Petersen, a political scientist who developed the course with his colleague Chris Hamilton at Washburn University, said it can be taught in a day or stretched over a week. The goal is to fit the course into the regular curriculum of a history or political science class.
Cheap gas is costly for Kan. By John Hanna Associated Press
Topeka — Lower energy prices benefiting consumers at gasoline pumps have hit oil- and natural gas-producing counties in western Kansas hard, forcing them to cut spending or increase property tax levies just as the state is ending an aid program meant to insulate them from industry downturns. The value of oil and gas property, which is tied to prices at the beginning of the year, declined an average of 52 percent, according to the state Department of Revenue. Sixteen energy-producing counties in western Kansas saw their total property values decrease
by more than 20 percent, hurting their ability to raise local tax revenues. Energy producers have experienced boom-andbust cycles before, and Kansas created a special trust fund a decade ago, setting aside taxes collected from oil and gas production for counties to tap when the industry experiences a bad downturn. But legislators halted the program in 2014 and the state made its last payments to counties earlier this month. Ness County, which saw the biggest decline in total property values, at nearly 34 percent, is using trust fund money to keep the increase in Please see ENERGY, page 5A

Making sense of the wind-energy ban
F
ans of wind energy in Douglas County don’t have a lot to celebrate. As we reported earlier, Douglas County commissioners have again extended a moratorium on wind development in the county. The moratorium dates back to December 2013, when some county residents became concerned that a large wind energy company — NextEra Energy Resources — wanted to install some meteorological towers in southwest Douglas County to monitor wind patterns. The commissioners allowed the monitoring stations but said they needed some time to get regulations on the books before allowing companies to propose actual wind farms in the county. Everyone kind of shrugged their shoulders because it was understood that NextEra was probably more than a year away from deciding whether it made sense to do a wind farm in Douglas County. Then, I kind of forgot about it. But now, we are going on two years for developing these regulations. The approval by county commissioners last Wednesday extends the moratorium until July 2016. A recent Journal-World editorial opined about how that seems to be excessive, so I won’t pile on in that regard. I’m sure there are a lot of issues to think through when developing regulations for wind energy farms. Having them next to

KU Jobs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A
yet to be concluded. KU is now one of 145 postsecondary institutions nationwide with similar investigations open, according to the USDE’s most recent list. “As we’ve seen more attention on this subject nationally, of course more students have been coming forward to report,� university spokeswoman Erinn BarcombPeterson said. “That’s always a good thing to be able to help more students, but of course that also means we need more resources.� During the 2014-15 school year, the KU Sexual Assault Task Force was charged with looking at what KU was doing regarding sexual violence and suggesting ways to do better going forward, and some of the new positions stem from task force recommendations, Barcomb-Peterson said. Here are the new positions, grouped under the university office that houses them.
Watkins Health Services l CARE coordinator KU created the CARE (Campus Assistance, Resource and Education) Coordinator job in fall 2014 on a temporary basis and decided to make it permanent, though the position has moved from the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity to Watkins Health Services. It’s also changing to a confidential instead of a mandated reporter position — something Watkins and students believe is important, said Dr. Douglas Dechairo, Watkins Health Services director and chief of staff. The CARE Coordinator is tasked with providing support and information about medical, psychological, legal and university resources to victims of sexual violence or accused perpetrators. Previously the CARE Coordinator was mandated to report incidents of sexual assault to university officials, Dechairo said; now the CARE Coordinator must obtain “informed consent� from the student before sharing information. “They (students) feel like having it as a confidential reporter brings more security,� he said. “That information that they don’t want disseminated through the university can stay within these walls, so to speak.� Watkins doctors, nurses and health care providers are all confidential reporters, Dechairo said, while KU faculty members, administrators and most staffers are mandated to tell university officials if students confide in them that they’ve been sexually assaulted. The CARE Coordinator’s job is similar to services provided countywide by the Sexual Trauma and Abuse Care Center (formerly GaDuGi Safecenter), Dechairo said. However, he said it’s helpful for students to have in-house services, not unlike the on-campus health care
provided by Watkins. The first CARE Coordinator, Sarah Jane Russell, resigned in August to work in the private sector, Dechairo said. He said the new CARE Coordinator, Merrill Evans, a licensed clinical social worker who previously worked at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, is scheduled to start Tuesday. Dechairo said the salary is budgeted at $43,000.
Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access l Interim measures coordinator In August, KU added an interim measures coordinator to the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access staff and hired Michael McRill, according to BarcombPeterson. Interim measures are steps the university would take to ensure a student feels safe and has access to his or her education while an investigation is pending. One example might be arranging to change a woman’s class schedule if she was previously enrolled in a course with a man accused of assaulting her. Barcomb-Peterson said the position is grantfunded and that the salary range is $30,000 to $50,000. In fall 2014, the office hired two additional Title IX investigators — charged with investigating sexual violence complaints, as well as other accusations of discrimination on campus. One investigator position was replaced with the interim measures coordinator position. The other position was temporary and has since expired, BarcombPeterson said. Currently the office has positions for a director, two Title IX investigators, the interim measures coordinator and an administrative assistant, according to its online staff list. Jane McQueeny, who directed the office since it was created in 2012, resigned just more than a week ago. Title IX investigator Joshua Jones is serving as interim director. Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center l Director l Educator 1 (men’s issues and bystander empowerment) l Educator 2 (sexual violence and healthy relationships) l Administrative assistant Earlier this month, KU announced that it would create this center, a priority recommendation from the Sexual Assault Task Force that met over the 2014-15 school year. Assistant vice provost for student affairs Jane Tuttle, who will oversee the new center, said it will be like an umbrella. “We will be the entryway for sexual assault, sexual violence prevention,� Tuttle said. “I believe it takes an entire campus to stop sexual violence ... but sometimes the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.� Tuttle said the center plans regular meetings with people and units including the
following: Watkins CARE Coordinator, KU Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, Watkins Health Education Resource Office, KU Student Housing, KU Office of Public Safety, KU Student Involvement and Leadership Center, KU Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity, Student Senate, Sexual Trauma and Abuse Care Center and Willow Domestic Violence Center. Quarterly meetings are planned with KU Athletics, as well as the departments of social welfare and women and gender studies, to ensure the center is using the most up-to-date research in its approaches, Tuttle said. KU is currently advertising and hopes to hire a center director before the end of this semester, Tuttle said. Open presentations by candidates are scheduled the week of Nov. 30. The other three hires will follow. The initial budget for the office is $200,000.

its property tax levies to about 4 percent next year. County employees won’t get raises, and they’ll have to pay more for their health care. County Commission Chairwoman Sandra Rupp said she worries that in the near future, the county won’t be able to upgrade aging equipment. “It’s going to be really tough,� said Rupp, who does the bookkeeping for her husband’s oil well monitoring and maintenance company in Ness City. In each of the hardesthit counties, oil and gas property accounted for at least 45 percent of total property values, according to the state’s figures. The figure in Haskell County, in southwest Kansas, was 71 percent, which was the state’s highest. The county’s property tax levies are expected to rise 7 percent next year and employees will forgo pay raises. — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Haskell County Shepherd can be reached at sshep- Commission Chairman herd@ljworld.com or 832-7187. Randy Froelich said he’s
anticipating an election by year’s end on a special tax to keep two senior citizens centers open. “Everybody’s taxes are going to go up,� he said. “That’s just a given.� Legislators in 2005 recognized such potential problems for energy-producing counties and set up the special trust fund for them. Starting in 2009, the state set aside nearly $83 million of its revenues from oil and gas taxes to help those counties. The trust fund law initially required counties to see huge drops in the value of oil and gas property for two consecutive years to tap into the funds. Area lawmakers said the accumulation of money was an inviting target as the Legislature wrestled with the state’s budget problems. “My fear was that we weren’t going to be able to safeguard it,� said Rep. Kyle Hoffman, a Republican from Coldwater, the seat of Comanche County in southwest Kansas,
where property values dropped 31 percent this year. Hoffman and other western Kansas legislators agreed on a compromise in 2014 — when oil prices were high — that abolished the trust fund as of 2016, allowed counties to spend the money as they saw fit and set aside oil and gas tax revenues going forward for their local schools instead. Hoffman’s home county earlier this month received its last transfer from the trust fund, about $359,000. But Comanche County Commission Chairman Larry Harvey said it isn’t planning to spend any trust fund money next year because of concerns about the future. The county won’t replace leaky windows in its courthouse and will delay road-paving projects to keep property tax levies in check, he said. “We’re going to hold it in case next year is a lot worse,� he said.

Stepping out is hard but important for social life Dear Annie: I am very antisocial. I don’t go to parties as often as most teens, I hardly ever invite friends over, and the few friends I do have no longer attend the same school. I don’t belong to any clubs or do other extracurricular activities. I spend most of my days at the computer, watching TV or pacing back and forth in my backyard. My parents have noticed my lack of social skills. My older sister is the same way. I know I can make more friends if I try, but I don’t know how. So, Annie, how does a 14-yearold who’s never had a circle of friends, never been a partygoer and never had her first kiss learn to be normal? — Lonely for Life Dear Lonely: You are not as abnormal as you think.

‘Supergirl’ has societal powers “Supergirl” (7:30 p.m., CBS, TV-PG) arrives, much more girl than super. And that seems to be the point. Although based on the DC Comics character, “Supergirl” is shot through with contemporary concerns about female empowerment, “leaning in” and standing out when your peers, your family and perhaps even your instincts tell you to keep your abilities under w r a p s . Let’s just say it’s easier to break the glass ceiling when you can fly. For those not familiar with the hero’s origin story, Supergirl is really Kara (Melissa Benoist), born Kara Zor-El on the planet Krypton. Just as the place was about to explode, she was sent to Earth in a rocket ship to look after younger cousin Kal-El, the alien we know as Superman. Due to a time-warp plot contrivance too complicated to care about, she arrives 15 years later than Kal-El, who by this time is already a man and a Superman to boot. Kara is raised by the kindly Danvers family. Her foster dad is played by Dean Cain (wink, wink). Despite possessing super abilities, she’s always in the shadow of her stepsister Alex (Chyler Leigh), who insists that Kara keep her powers, and her superhero cousin, a big dark secret. So, to recap: Kara’s older yet younger, stronger yet subservient. No wonder she’s a bit of a mess and the perfect intern for the imperious media baron Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart). In this universe, Perry White is Ally McBeal. Great Caesar’s ghost! Cat has clearly modeled her management style on Meryl Streep’s character in “The Devil Wears Prada.” She treats Kara like a gofer, unimpressed by her shuffling Annie Hall hesitancy, modest wardrobe and the Clark Kent glasses that have all of the boys in the newsroom swooning in her presence. If only they knew.

I can’t stand the fact that she doesn’t realize how this infuriates me. This man should be taken off the streets regardless of how long ago the abuse happened. How do I get her to seek counseling? — Concerned Dear Concerned: We know how upset you are, but please remember that this is not about you, and the constant pressure on your girlfriend undoubtedly makes her additionally uncomfortable and stressed. We urge you to call RAINN (rainn.org) at 1-800-656-HOPE (1800-656-4673) and ask how you can best help her.

Changing views Bridging the state’s philosophical gap may be key to the future success of Lawrence and Kansas University.
S
cience fiction often is based on the writer’s vision of what will happen in the future. In some cases, those predictions prove to be disturbingly accurate. That’s why it’s interesting to hear more about what a Kansas University professor who has spent his career immersed in science fiction envisions for KU and Lawrence. In a recent interview with the Journal-World, James Gunn, who has been associated with KU since 1955, shared his thoughts about change and its role in politics. “The idea of people wanting to resist change has grown as the country has become more conservative,” he said. That trend, he said, often puts politicians at odds with universities and university communities, which are in the business of anticipating, exploring and accommodating change. “One of the things that makes the university a bastion of liberal thought is that people here are constantly engaged in the process of changing their minds,” he explained. The more people know about just about anything, the less black and white that subject becomes. The academic community is comfortable with that situation, but others often are not. “The rest of the state is trying to save what it has rather than place bets on what it is going to have in the future,” Gunn said. Learning to “recognize the validity of each others’ viewpoints” would benefit both liberals and conservatives, he said, “But that suggests something that is sort of anathema in today’s political environment — compromise.” Gunn’s analysis of the link between politics and change is food for thought. So is the assertion that the future of Lawrence and KU is closely tied to its ability to work with, rather than separate itself from, the rest of the state. Lawrence prides itself on being different and embraces KU’s role as a leader and an agent of change. As the state’s flagship university, KU should play a leadership role in Kansas, but it’s hard to be a leader if you can’t convince your followers you’re heading in the right direction. Bridging that gap between Lawrence/ KU and the rest of the state will require an effort from both ends of the political spectrum, as well as from top leadership of the university. The prospects for a successful meeting of the minds may seem like something from science fiction now, but who knows what the future will bring?
Asian allies welcome U.S. pivot Singapore — The U.S. appears to be moving toward a military test of China’s claims of sovereignty in disputed areas of the South China Sea, and officials here seem pleased that President Obama is prepared to put more muscle into his famous “pivot” to Asia. The U.S. has been briefing Asian allies about its new readiness to assert “freedom of navigation” by sending ships within the 12-mile limits that China has placed around its newly reclaimed “islands.” Adm. John Richardson, the new chief of naval operations, said in Tokyo a week ago that U.S. warships will be “just steaming in international waters,” and that this shouldn’t be seen by Beijing as a “provocation.” After ducking a confrontation with China over the disputed islands since 2012, the administration has decided to take a tougher stance. “The United States will continue to sail, fly and operate anywhere that international law allows,” Obama said at a news conference with President Xi Jinping during the Chinese leader’s visit to Washington last month. Xi, for his part, insisted that China won’t militarize the islands. What will the Chinese do as U.S. warships sail past the maritime limits Beijing claims? Its foreign ministry warned that “there is no way for us to condone infringement of China’s territorial sea.” But officials here expect that China will do no

The maritime game of chicken that’s looming could easily escalate out of control. So the U.S. and China would be wise to agree on clearer rules for dealing with incidents at sea, before vessels actually come in contact. Superpowers shouldn’t make “invidious premature choices,” warns Bilahari Kausikan, a Singapore ambassador at large and former top official of the foreign ministry. Southeast Asian leaders, who have been worried that Obama was too passive about China’s island grab, appear relieved. They want Washington to follow through on

more positive) tone than the relentless Washington focus on Russia and the Middle East. Officials here see the Middle East as an unfortunate diversion from the more important challenge of a rising China. Obama would probably say the same thing. Kausikan says he’s not worried about a U.S. retreat from the Middle East. “’Offshore balancer’ is fine,” he says, using the term foreign policy experts use to describe a less-engaged U.S. military strategy in the Middle East. “When you tried to be an onshore balancer, you cocked it up royally,” he says, referring to the Iraq War. “Now you are finding a new equilibrium. And you are part of Asia, inextricably.” Talking with Southeast Asian officials is the foreign policy equivalent of changing the channel. The Middle East is a continuing demonstration of the limits of U.S. military power, and antipathy toward its use. But in the Pacific region, countries invite that same U.S. power to check China’s bid for regional dominance. The common theme, perhaps, is that nations want America to fight their wars, until they go bad. “We speak of the U.S. as a ‘benign hegemon,’” says Chan Heng Chee, Singapore’s former ambassador to the United States. Have you ever heard that phrase applied to America’s role in the Middle East? — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

the logic of the pivot, which was that America’s military focus should shift from the Middle East, where it has been bogged down in seemingly unwinnable wars, to Asia, where many believe the U.S. economic future lies. “America has been distracted,” says a former top Singapore official. “There’s been a lack of focus on Asia. If America had been more alert, the Chinese could not have moved in the South China Sea. They’re opportunists. They will continue to push until they hit a wall.” Southeast Asian leaders were pleased when administration officials began talking about the pivot back in November 2011. But they have been disappointed at the lack of follow-through, which some say encouraged the Chinese to press ahead with their reclamation of reefs in the South China Sea, turning them into artificial islands where the Chinese could assert sovereignty and eventually build military bases. The Chinese concluded several years ago that the Obama administration “would talk but do nothing” about the disputed islands, said a senior Singapore official. He speculates that the Chinese may have been “rushing” to construct the islands because they feared the next U.S. president would have a more “robust” stance than Obama. The debate here about checking Chinese power in Asia has a different (and

Bernie Sanders, the insurgent candidate for president, says he plans to give “a major speech” soon explaining what he means when he calls himself a democratic socialist. “I think there are a lot of people who, when they hear the word ‘socialist,’ get very, very nervous,” Sanders told reporters in Iowa this week. He’s right; a recent Gallup Poll found that 50 percent of voters aren’t willing to vote for a socialist. But it’s a little puzzling why Sanders thinks he needs to give a stemwinder on the subject. He’s been explaining his definition of socialism almost nonstop since he declared his candidacy in April. “To me, democratic socialism means democracy,” he said in Iowa. “It means creating a government that represents all of us, not just the wealthiest people in the country.” (That’s the Ben & Jerry’s version.) “There are socialist programs out there that are some of the most popular programs in America,” he said, citing Social Security and Medicare. “When you go to your public library, when you call your fire department or the police department, what do you think you’re calling?” (The New Deal version.) “What democratic socialism is about is saying that it is immoral and wrong that the top one-tenth of 1 percent in this country … own almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent,” he said at the Democrats’ first debate. (The Occupy Wall Street version.) Actually, none of those captures what “democratic socialism” means — at least, what it meant half a century ago, when Sanders joined a socialist youth group at the University of Chicago. Back then, socialism was a muscular creed that sought to put workers
“

in control of the economy, often by nationalizing major industries like energy, automobiles and steel. But Sanders is running for the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party, not the Socialist Party. He’s watered down the faith of his youth to make it more palatable to most Americans — and that’s fine. He’s turned into a “social democrat” much like the technocrats he praises in Denmark and Sweden. To purists on the left, that makes Sanders a SINO — a socialist in name only. But he’s winning millions of converts and widening the Democrats’ window of debate toward the left, which is more than old-school socialists have accomplished since about 1972. But giving explanatory speeches will only take Sanders so far. What he needs to do now is describe how his ambitious, big-government proposals would work, whether you choose to call them progressive, socialist or anything else. Take his biggest, boldest idea: Medicare for all. Sanders says he wants everyone enrolled in one big government-run health insurance system. No more private insurance plans, no more Obamacare, no more Medicaid. At least, that’s what I think he means; he hasn’t provided any details. “I wish I had more answers for you,” his policy director, Warren Gunnels, told me last week. “He hasn’t decided on the exact form it should take — other than being universal, single-payer, Medicare for all.”
That also means it’s impossible to estimate how much the plan would cost. One expert outside Sanders’ campaign calculated $9.6 trillion over 10 years; another, $17.6 trillion — a big range. Either way, Gunnels said, the plan would end up saving Americans money because they wouldn’t have to pay for private insurance, and because it would be more efficient than our current profit-based crazy quilt. I happen to think he’s right because most advanced European countries (not just Denmark) have single-payer systems that work as well as ours, at much lower cost. But without more details, no one can really say. Or take a second pillar of Sanders’ platform: making the wealthy pay more to support collective (oops, I mean democratic) efforts. Sanders has made it clear that he would raise the top income tax rate. “It will be a damned lot higher than it is right now,” he said last week. But how much, exactly, is a damned lot? Gunnels sighed. “We will be releasing a comprehensive tax proposal soon, and we’ll let you know,” he said. Finally, Sanders’ big ambitions raise an important question: Does he have any ideas for making sure the federal bureaucracy can administer new programs well? Can he convince Americans who are skeptical of big government that, this time, Washington can get it right? Bernie Sanders deserves to be taken seriously as a potential presidential nominee, and voters deserve more detailed information about his proposals for expanded federal programs. That’s what Sanders needs to be talking about — even though it’s a lot tougher than defining democratic socialism. — Doyle McManus is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times.

WASHINGTON Russian warplanes sent to Syria to back the regime of Bashar Assad are breaking down at a rapid rate that appears to be affecting their ability to strike targets, according to a senior Defense official. Nearly one-third of Russian attack planes and half of its transport aircraft are grounded at any time as the harsh, desert conditions take a toll on equipment and crews, said the official who was not authorized to speak publicly about sensitive intelligence matters. The Russians appear to be having difficulty adapting to the dusty conditions, and the number of airstrikes they have conducted seems to have dipped slightly. “For deployed forces, that’s a hideous rate,” said Richard Aboulafia, an aviation analyst at the Teal Group, an aerospace consulting firm. Russian President Vladimir Putin deployed warplanes, including Russia’s advanced Fullback ground-attack jet, helicopters and troops to a base near Latakia, Syria, in September. In addition, at least a dozen transport planes have been stationed there. “They could have bad operating procedures, inadequate supplies of spare parts and support crews,” Aboulafia said. Russia’s inexperience deploying forces at some distance, unlike their military actions in bordering countries such as Ukraine and Georgia, could also account for problems keeping planes in the air, he said. “An awful lot of expeditionary warfare revolves around logistics,” Aboulafia said. “A lot of it comes down to experience. They don’t have that much of it.” For U.S. warplanes, readiness rates of less than 80% would attract attention from top brass, said a senior Air Force commander with multiple combat deployments in the Middle East. The officer was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter. However, the officer noted that planes break, especially in austere, deployed conditions. David Deptula, a retired threestar Air Force general who led planning for the air war in Operation Desert Storm, said the Russians’ readiness rate of 70% isn’t surprising because they lack experience being deployed and have been flying their jets hard.
Millennials worry most about social, economic inequality Survey says one goal is to make a difference Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY
Millennials around the world worry most about social and economic equality, remain skeptical of government and the media, and count Tesla CEO Elon Musk as one of their heroes, according to a World Economic Forum survey released Sunday. More than 1,000 young people, ages 20 to 30, from 125 countries and who are all active in the fo-
rum’s Global Shapers Community, were surveyed. The average age was 28. The results were released at the beginning of a threeday World Economic Forum conference in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates. The survey showed that 65% of the Millennials said one of their top three goals in selecting a job was to make a difference in society, their city or country. They also look for an opportunity to learn, followed by career advancement. More than nine out of 10 said they would be willing to relocate to advance their career. The annual survey “reveals

South Carolina seeks kingmaker role New diversity tests state’s reputation as GOP ‘microcosm’ David Jackson USA TODAY
CHARLESTON, S . C. There is so much at stake in the 2016 elections — including South Carolina’s reputation as the maker of Republican nominees and presidents. Starting in 1980, South Carolina Republicans had picked the eventual nominee (and sometimes the president) every four years. But their streak ended in 2012 when Newt Gingrich took the state but lost the nomination, and now members of the S.C.
GOP want to start a new one. “We have an amazing diversity of conservative voters,” said Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., a coalition that “allows our electorate to make decisions that seem to be supported by the nation as a whole.” Speaking backstage in a high school auditorium, Scott had hosted an event featuring Jeb Bush, who told reporters that “South Carolina elects presidents.” This time, Palmetto State Republicans say they believe the winner of the Feb. 20 primary will be best positioned to win the party’s nomination because South Carolina represents the GOP better than states such as Iowa and New Hampshire. It is a “real test of strength” for any candidate, said state party
“We have an amazing diversity of conservative voters ... (that) allows our electorate to make decisions that seem to be supported by the nation.” Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C
chairman Matt Moore, because it has “a broad cross-section of the Republican Party.” Voter Lin Bennett, 61, a retiree waiting to see Bush at Bishop England High School here, described the GOP vote in South Carolina as a “microcosm” of the conservative vote nationally. There are economic conservatives and social conservatives.
Evangelicals are focused on such issues as abortion, while business owners protest government regulations. The state’s large military community is interested in veterans’ benefits and foreign policy. There also are libertarians and gun rights groups. Everyone from Donald Trump to favorite son Lindsey Graham will have to draw voters from these and other groups. “You’ve got to play coalition politics in South Carolina,” said Bruce Haynes, a non-aligned Republican strategist. Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon, plans to make in-roads with the state’s large numbers of evangelical voters. While South Carolina has been known to bolster establishment candidates in past elections, vot-
After ISIL, future of Iraq will be ‘chaos’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B
Two weeks after he fled the city, the Islamic State killed his younger brother as an “example for others who were trying to escape,” he said. “If more people leave, they will lose their credibility in front of the world.” Mohamma Bakour, 32, a schoolteacher who escaped in September, said the militants initially shut down all the schools. Now, he said, they have revised the courses to be consistent with their radical view of Islam. “Books that discuss evolution are banned and (many) science labs in schools have been burned,” Bakour said. “ ‘Only God created the world, and you don’t need experiments to tell them the world exists.’ That’s their philosophy.” Bakour said many children have been traumatized by the regime’s brutality. “When they cut a throat in front of the children, some children get psychologically affected and other children accept it as normal,” he said. “In more than one year, the Islamic State has
created a society where it’s normal for children to watch their elders being murdered by them.” Most children don’t go to school and could end up joining the militants, Bakour said. Child labor is common. Many children “sell water and snacks on the streets to make $5 a day to support their families. But if they get recruited by (the Islamic State), they make much more money, and many families need that,” he said. “They will have no future to build a civil society. It will be a chaos,” he added. More residents trapped in Mosul have wanted to get out after Iraq’s central government in Baghdad cut off government workers’ salaries because the Islamic State was seizing 20% to 30% of people’s pay to finance its rule. One 22-year-old man who recently escaped said the militants seized $4 million worth of production equipment from his family’s food-packing factories. He asked to be identified only by his first name, Aws, because his family is still trapped in Mosul, and
ers say they are intrigued by outsiders including Trump, Carson and Carly Fiorina. “Everybody feels like nobody in Washington gets anything accomplished,” said Sarah Long, 61, a business manager from Columbia. Marco Rubio has put together a well-regarded staff in South Carolina, while Ted Cruz is appealing to evangelicals. Ohio Gov. John Kasich also is expected to make a play. State Attorney General Alan Wilson said “grass-roots” campaigning is key. “I truly believe South Carolina is going to return to its old ways of picking presidents,” Wilson said. Rubio would probably agree, joking with the crowd: “You may not know this, but we’re going to be in South Carolina a lot.”

Local authorities are blocking their travel back to Mosul out of concern for their safety, Kirkuk police chief Sarhad Qadir said. “We can’t take responsibility for these people,” he said. Still, Rehman remains eager to make it back home. “There is no corruption in the society. If someone does ill, they get punished,” he said. “If they steal, their hands will be chopped. If they spy, they are (considered) enemies and they will be killed. This system allows people to be good, and that is what Islam teaches.”
VOICES
Tech titans should value military service Jim Michaels USA TODAY
My personal exposure to Silicon Valley is limited. Back in the 1990s, I was interviewing for a job at a large technology company expanding into the media business. When the interviewer asked about my management experience, I pointed to the time 10 years earlier when I commanded a Marine rifle platoon after college. “That’s not leadership,” the interviewer said. “You just tell people what to do, and they do it.” There were a lot of reasons I was unsuited for the job. Still, this remark struck me as dumb as it was revealing. Silicon Valley is a pretty insular place. Silicon Valley has come under fire for its lack of racial and ethnic diversity, but little is said about the number of veterans at tech companies. In fact, it’s impossible to know what those numbers are. Microsoft, Google and Yahoo would not say how many veterans work there, but all told me they are making efforts to attract former servicemembers. For much of the time since my interview, the nation has been at war. Yet fewer than 1% of the American population serve in the military today. That’s a far cry from previous wars, when a draft drew millions into service. The gap between the military and civilians is wider than at any time in modern history. That’s a tough break for this generation’s warriors, who are getting out of the military and looking for jobs. They’re entering a workforce where employers know almost nothing about their experience. That gap is particularly pronounced in Silicon Valley, a pretty insular world by any measure. “There is a complete misunderstanding, particularly in tech, about what people do in the mili-

Neither Microsoft, Google nor Yahoo will say how many veterans work there. All three companies, however, say they are making efforts to attract former servicemembers. tary,” says Doug Stone, a retired Marine major general who has run several technology companies. He says he has learned to avoid talking about his military background, which includes running detainee operations in Iraq, with business colleagues. “They really pigeonhole you very quickly, and you can’t convince them otherwise,” Stone says. Some tech companies say they are working on the problem. “We’re still crawling, but we’re making huge progress,” says Chris Cortez, a retired Marine major general who is Microsoft’s vice president of military affairs.
“There is a complete misunderstanding, particularly in tech, about what people do in the military.” Doug Stone, a retired Marine major general who has run several technology companies
He and others point to such workers as Bernard Bergan, 32, a soldier who served a year in Afghanistan’s Helmand province and now works at Microsoft. Exposure to combat has helped keep stress in perspective. “I get to go home tonight,” Bergan reminded a colleague who had commented on how stressful one workday was. The military is shrinking after more than a decade of war. An estimated 200,000 servicemembers will be getting out of the military in the next five years, says Cortez, who has led Microsoft’s efforts to establish a soft-
ware training academy at military bases. Ben Bernanke, the former Federal Reserve chairman, recently said studies have suggested that military training doesn’t give workers a boost in the workplace. But that misses an important point. It’s the intangible qualities of military experience that are the most valuable. If you survive the Army’s Ranger School or a year of combat in Anbar province, Iraq, you have probably demonstrated a level of intestinal fortitude that goes beyond what is required to roll out the latest iPhone app. That doesn’t mean veterans should be treated as a protected class deserving special treatment. That well-intentioned “support” ultimately leads to a public that views veterans as victims, as damaged goods. As horrible as combat is, it also forges character and leadership skills that help propel people through life and work. Many come out of the experience stronger than when they went in. Previous generations instinctively understood that. Donald Regan, who headed Merrill Lynch before becoming President Reagan’s Treasury secretary and White House chief of staff, once explained how his service as a Marine commander in the Pacific during World War II shaped his postwar business and political career. “At age 26, I was a major on Okinawa with 1,200 men under me,” he told The Washington Post in a 1985 profile. “When people are calling you the ‘old man’ and you’re 26 years old and you’re responsible for so many people, it does shape your life. You’re not afraid of command from then on.” Today, veterans are coming home from war with the same experience. The American public seems slow to grasp it. Michaels is a military writer at USA TODAY and former Marine infantry officer.

Louisiana holds on for heavy rain, floods New Orleans area could see 8 inches Aamer Madhani USA TODAY
Louisiana braced for more rain into Monday after the storm that dumped more than a foot of rain on Texas over the weekend moved east. A flash flood watch was issued Sunday for parts of New Orleans and Baton Rouge to last through Monday afternoon, the National Weather Service said. Some areas around New Orleans could get up to 8 inches of rain. Hours of heavy rainfall Sunday put low-lying areas outside of levee protection at risk of minor flooding, the weather service said. The warning encompassed areas in seven parishes, including Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard and Plaquemines. More than 3.5 inches of rain had fallen in Baton Rouge by Sunday afternoon, while more than 6 inches fell west of New Orleans, the weather service said. A possible tornado in St. Rose hit around 10:30 a.m., causing minor damage to trees and a carport, the weather service said. In Texas, flood warnings for Houston and Galveston expired Sunday as remnants from Hurricane Patricia dissipated and rain in that area eased. The Houston area saw heavy rain for much of Saturday afternoon and early Sunday, causing various high-water locations and impassable roads. Bayous started to crest around 3 a.m. Sunday. “There will be localized flooding in Houston, primarily street flooding,” Houston Mayor Annise Parker warned. The potential for a repeat of flooding and devastating property damage in Texas loomed five months after torrential spring storms caused more than 30 deaths and left large swaths of the state underwater. That Memorial Day weekend weather system brought an astonishing amount of rainfall, with some areas receiving more than 20 inches.

LA MANZANILLA , MEXICO
ountains, geography and prayer led to surprisingly little damage and few deaths when Hurricane Patricia, the strongest storm on record in the Western Hemisphere, slammed ashore with 165-mph winds. Experts say Mexico’s mountains and quick mass evacuations saved lives over the weekend. But ask local residents and they say something else had a hand. “God takes care of us,” said Yolanda Garcia Casillas, 49, who rode out the storm in this seaside community 20 miles south from where the storm made landfall. Above average warm waters of the Pacific along with very little wind shear combined to quickly build Patricia into a monster storm with 200 mph winds as it approached Mexico’s coast, Dennis Feltgen, a meteorologist with the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami, said Sunday. But as it approached the coast Friday evening, the circular winds collided with the Sierra Madre Occidental range, weakening it, he said. The storm came ashore near Cuixmala at 6:15 p.m. Friday as a Category 5 with 165 mph winds — the same strength as Hurricane Andrew when it struck South Florida in 1992, he said. Unlike that sprawling storm, Patricia had a compact eye only 5 nautical miles across, and its strongest winds extended just 15 miles from the eye, Feltgen said. As it crashed with the mountains, the hurricane fell apart. By 4 a.m. Saturday, it weak-
ened to a Category 1 storm and was depleted to a post-tropical depression. “In less than 24 hours after making landfall as a Category 5 hurricane, it was gone,” Feltgen said. Patricia also picked the best possible place to arrive: a sparsely populated stretch of coast dotted with fishing villages and winter homes for foreigners. It missed the populated centers of Puerto Vallarta to its north and Manzanillo to the south, he said. “A little jog to the left, a little jog to the right and we’d be having a different conversation,” Feltgen said. By Sunday afternoon, six people were reported dead: two struck by a falling tree in the town of Tapalpa in southern Jalisco state and four others killed in a vehicle accident, according to the news agency EFE in Mexico. Authorities were relieved that the storm was not comparable to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines two years ago, which left more than 7,300 dead or missing and destroyed more than 1 million homes. Mexican officials touted the
mass evacuations as key. “The population responded. The hotels responded. The shipping industry responded,” Mexico’s Communications and Transportation Secretary Gerardo Ruiz Esparza said at a news conference. “If we had not had that response, we would have had more incidents.” Patricia’s rapid buildup in the Pacific also didn’t allow time for it to develop a substantial storm surge, Dan Pydynowski, a meteorologist with Accuweather.com, said Sunday. In La Manzanilla, several beachside restaurants were crumpled but others remained intact. Maria de Jesus Guzman, 70, cleaned out what remains of the restaurant she runs with her husband, Andres Aceves. She rode out the storm with him, their son and four grandchildren in a house up the road. “We’re still in shock,” Casillas said. “We have our lives. With life, there’s always hope.” Contributing: David Agren in Monterrey, Mexico

EU TO RAISE CAPACITY NUMBER FOR REFUGEES
Reception capacity for refugees arriving in Greece and in the western Balkans will be increased to 100,000, European Union Commission President JeanClaude Juncker said during a meeting of EU leaders gathered in Brussels to deal with Europe’s refugee crisis. Speaking during the summit of 11 regional leaders from the EU and the Balkan region, Juncker said that where national capacities fall short, “the EU civil protection mechanism should” provide more temporary shelter. In Greece alone, he said, Athens promised that the reception capacity will be increased to 30,000 by the end of the year, with the United Nations providing capacity for 20,000 more, the Associated Press reported. More than 680,000 migrants and refugees have landed in Europe by sea this year, fleeing conflict in countries including Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and Eritrea, the International Organization for Migration said.

Buoyed by polls showing him running ahead of Donald Trump in Iowa, the retired neurosurgeon said exceptions should be considered only in rare cases involving the mother’s health, “if people can come up with a reasonable explanation of why they would like to kill a baby.” On NBC’s Meet the Press, Carson said he “would love” to see the Supreme Court’s 1973 decision overturned for Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion nationwide. Mothers should not have the right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, Carson said, just as slave owners did not have the right to do whatever they wanted to their slaves. — Richard Wolf

Terrie and Kenny Kemp were expecting their third child in 1979 when the bad news came. Kenny had ALS, the incurable degenerative muscle disease known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The two raised the children as best they could, as Kenny’s health deteriorated. Kenny died in 1986, and Terrie soldiered on with her children. About a year after Kenny’s death, mechanic Ed Nelson asked Terrie if she would like to go to a movie. It began a courtship of nearly 30 years. Terrie and Ed eventually moved in together. Neither remembers exactly when. They bought Ed’s parents’ Madison County farm in the late 1990s. About 10 years ago, Ed proposed. Terrie said no. “We were getting along fine the way we were,” Terrie said. But Terrie was nervous. Losing Kenny was terribly painful. She thought if she kept Ed at arm’s length, he would be OK. The truth was, Terrie didn’t want to be vulnerable to the hurt of losing the man she loved again. Ed understood. “If you change your mind, just let me know,” he said. Slowly, over that last decade, Terrie Kemp’s greatest fear fad-

UAW in stronger negotiating position as automakers thrive Chris Woodyard USA TODAY
ROD SANFORD, LANSING STATE JOURNAL
U.S.-BUILT CAMAROS SET TO ROLL OFF THE LINE General Motors will officially begin rolling the 2016 Camaro off the lines today at its Lansing (Mich.) Grand River Assembly plant. It’s the first time the Camaro has been produced in the U.S. since the third-generation models in 1992. GM, which hired 450 people this summer and added a second shift to produce the vehicle, has been producing pilot Camaros there for the past few months for testing purposes. Lansing-area Chevrolet dealers expect the car to hit the lots by mid-November. The starting price is $25,700 for the Camaro 1LT, which is powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder or 3.6L V6 engine. The 1SS model with a 6.2L V8 engine starts at $37,795. It will be available in coupe and convertible body styles. CHINESE COMPANY TO BUY TEXAS OILFIELDS FOR $1.3B A Chinese company is spending about $1.3 billion to buy oilfields in Howard and Borden counties of west-central Texas. Two Nevada-based companies, Tall City Exploration LLC and Plymouth Petroleum LLC, are selling the fields to China’s Dingliang Huitong. After that, Shanghaibased Yantai Xinchao Industry Co. Ltd., will acquire Dingliang Huitong. The sale already has been approved by the U.S. Treasury’s Committee on Foreign Investment.
General Motors and Ford Motors may be enjoying boom times for the auto industry, but it’s likely to cost them in driving a new contract with the United Auto Workers union. Ford is expected to report that earnings per share have nearly doubled when it reports quarterly earnings on Tuesday. GM beat analysts’ expectations last week in reporting that it earned $1.4 billion in the third quarter. While those kind of results cheer shareholders, they could be even better for union negotiators who will point to them in trying to hammer out new four-year pacts with Ford and GM. On Sunday, the UAW had set a midnight deadline after which it could call a strike, but the focus was on

whether a tentative agreement could be reached. Memories linger of talks more than a decade ago when generous contracts during the last sales boom were followed by a sales bust. Automakers were saddled with expensive labor contracts even as losses piled up. Ford squeezed by and GM and Chrysler reorganized in bankruptcy. But now, with large vehicles popular again due to low gas prices, momentum has shifted to the union. “They are in a stronger bargaining position to negotiate a
better deal with GM and Ford,” says Marick Masters, head of the Douglas A. Fraser Center for Workplace Issues at Wayne State University in Detroit. The UAW comes to GM and Ford bolstered by having approved a new contract last week with Fiat Chrysler, which also reports quarterly earnings this week, by a strong 77% voting margin on the second try. Fiat Chrysler is the smallest and financially weakest of Detroit’s Big 3. That leads to the prospect that the union will shoot for bigger
raises at GM and Ford. Also, Fiat Chrysler has the most workers being paid at second-tier wages compared to firsttier workers. Closing that gap has been a big goal for the union. “They are three very different situations” when it comes to each of the automakers, says Kristin Dziczek of the Center for Automotive Research. GM has 20% of its workforce laboring at the lower wage, while it’s about 29% at Ford and 45% at Fiat Chrysler. The lower wage was instituted in previous contracts as Detroit automakers complained that their labor costs weren’t competitive with the non-union U.S. factories of Asian and European rivals. To try to maintain their flexibility if sales fall again, automakers have turned to profit sharing. GM, which has 52,700 workers represented by the UAW, paid $9,000 a worker last spring, $2,400 more than it was required to pay under the 2011 contract. Contributing: Greg Gardner, Detroit Free Press

@Bill_Loveless Special for USA TODAY
The thaw in U.S.-Cuba relations is raising prospects for new business opportunities for American companies in the island nation, among them energy. That was evident this past week in Havana, where more than 120 people from the U.S., Cuba and other countries gathered for a cutting-edge conference on offshore oil development. The Safe Seas Clean Seas Symposium was organized by the Houston consulting firm Hunt Petty LLC to promote cooperation in preventing and responding to spills in Cuban waters as Havana plans to resume drilling next year, following unsuccessful exploration in recent years. Given that the drilling would occur as close as 50 miles from Florida’s coast, doing so safely and with the best equipment is critical to both Cuba and the U.S., even as the decades-old U.S. embargo on trade with Cuba continues to restrict transactions between the two countries. As Jay Hakes, a former head of the U.S. Energy Information Administration and a speaker at the Havana conference, put it: “If there ever is a spill like the Macondo well, it would get to the U.S. in a couple of days.” That reference, of course, was to a BP well in the Gulf of Mexico that exploded in 2010, resulting in the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. The incident, along with the HAVANA

U.S. embargo, came up frequently over the course of the two-day meeting. But the prevailing interest among participants was becoming familiar with each other. “It’s timely in the sense that it’s the first time it’s been possible for a U.S. entity to hold a conference in Cuba” since the Obama administration and Cuba began to normalize relations last year, said Lee Hunt, a partner in Hunt Petty LLC and a former president of the International Association of Drilling Contractors. “It’s also the first time that business persons and professionals who are American citizens could travel to Cuba for the purpose of participating in such a meeting. It’s groundbreaking in that sense.”
Among those attending the event at a Havana hotel were representatives of the Cuban government and the Cuban oil company, Cupet, as well as U.S. Coast Guard officers and staff from the recently reopened U.S. Embassy in Havana. Others at the meeting included representatives of U.S. companies with an eye out for eventual business in Cuba, including Cameron, a maker of drilling equipment, and Wild Well Control and Witt O’Brien, two businesses that respond to oil emergencies, plus non-U.S. companies already active in Cuba’s oil sector. Environmental concerns were represented, too, including the Environmental Defense Fund and the Gulf of Mexico Foundation.
Hunt said the two governments’ interest in the event was significant. “They were paying attention on both sides,” he said. James Watson, president of the Americas division for ABS, a Houston-based provider of standards for marine operations and a speaker at the event, found Cuba’s commitment to safe drilling convincing. “I’ve heard directly from the highest-level officials that I spoke to here that they don’t want to start (offshore oil drilling) again unless they have the best technology and the appropriate response preparations,” said Watson, a retired Coast Guard rear admiral who until recently was director of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, which regulates drilling in U.S. waters. Taking a similar view of the discussions in Havana were Hakes, whose government work included a stint as the director of research for an Obama administration commission that investigated the 2010 spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and Roberto Suárez, the deputy general director of Cupet. “I think the meeting demonstrates that U.S.-Cuban relations are moving steadily forward, and energy is playing a big part in that progress,” Hakes said. “Given that just a few years ago the two countries were at odds with each other, it was remarkable how well everybody got along and generally had a comparable view of what the problems are and how they should be addressed.” “It’s accomplished a lot,” Suárez said. “For me, it’s networking. It’s the most important thing.” Loveless is a veteran energy journalist and TV commentator in Washington.

MORE HOTELS DUMP PLAIN OLD CUP O’ JOE Now offer artisanal coffee, better in-room brewing machines
Boeing 757 is powerful, fast and unmatched John Cox
Nancy Trejos
Special for USA TODAY
USA TODAY
There’s something brewing at hotels across the USA: Artisanal coffee. Business travelers looking for the perfect beverage to start their day no longer have to settle for instant coffee brewed in old-fashioned pots. Hotels are partnering with specialty coffee companies to perk up caffeinated beverage options in guest rooms, through room service, at kiosks and in lounges. Considering the ever-growing popularity of Starbucks and other craft brews, hotels have no choice but to offer coffee of equal or higher quality. “Coffee is too often overlooked, but it is truly important to restaurant patrons and hotel guests,” says Stephen Wancha, director of Food and Beverage at the Four Seasons Orlando, which offers three different blends in guest rooms with Nespresso machines. “Great restaurants and hotels/resorts are taking the time to research origins and blend options, train their teams, maintain equipment and deliver a stellar experience — much like they do with their food and spirit programs. Quality coffee programs have become dining differentiators.” Some examples: uFairmont Hotels and Resorts partnered with H.C. Valentine Coffee, a micro-roasting company based in Birmingham, Ala., to provide guests with what Brett Patterson, the company’s vice president of Food and Beverage for the Americas, calls a “farm-to-cup” experience. Most of the beans come from small family farms in Africa and Central and South America. uAt AC Hotels by Marriott, guests can use a one-cup brewing machine to make Torrefazione Italia coffee. Marriott chose an Italian coffee for the new hotel
ASK THE CAPTAIN
LE MERIDIEN HOTELS
brand, which originated in Europe. If guests don’t want to drink the coffee in their room, they can head down to the AC Kitchen and make a customized coffee drink from a Nespresso machine. uHilton Hotels and Resorts recently expanded its partnership with the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf to provide specialty coffee drinks in lobbies, restaurants, lounges and gourmet markets at participating properties. uLe Meridien Hotels take their coffee culture so seriously that each property has an inhouse Master Barista. The baristas go through an intensive training program. Last November, the company partnered with illy Coffee to name a Global Latte Artist. The importance of coffee is highlighted in a 2015 National Coffee Association USA study, which found that 70% of consumers say coffee wakes them up and gets them going in the morning. “Coffee is personal. Consumers expect to be able to customize their coffee, which means that hotels need to offer more
choices,” says Kyra Auffermann, manager of communication and content development at the association. Hotels also have to offer better coffeemaking machines. Many hotels are replacing in-room miniature coffeemakers with higherend machines from manufacturers such as Nespresso and Keurig. Some business travelers say they like the higher-quality machines but worry about how they are maintained. “I don’t think hotels clean those at all,” says USA TODAY Road Warrior Petr Klima, a New Orleans consultant. Not so, says Toni Stoeckl, vice president of lifestyle brands for Marriott International. “They are cleaned daily,” he says. Many consumers want their coffee to be made in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. About 17% of all coffee drinkers expressed concern about environmental and sustainability issues. That concern tripled among consumers below the age of 39. “Millennials control an estimated $1.3 trillion of consumer
spending annually, making them a critical demographic for the hotel industry,” Auffermann says. “Hotels have to keep up with this demographic’s expectations, or they could risk damaging their reputation or losing guests.” Hotels are keeping up with expectations by offering coffee brewed by local companies. Younger travelers, in particular, prefer to eat and drink locally sourced and produced products. Guest rooms at Dorado Beach, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve, are equipped with a French press offering a local Puerto Rican coffee. The Brooklyn Marriott serves fair-trade coffees by DUMBObased roastery and espresso lab Brookling Roasting. Coffee flavors change frequently but include such creative options as the Iris Espresso, a sweet and spicy brew. The James Chicago partnered with Sparrow Coffee, a green and organic micro-roastery. And the Wayfarer at the Quin Hotel in New York created its own brand of cold brew coffee with local coffee brewers For Five Coffee Roasters.
Q: I have flown on a Boeing 757 numerous times, and it always feels like a rocket taking off (not that I have actually been on a rocket). I’ve heard that the 757 is “overpowered.” Have you flown this aircraft? What is your opinion of the 757? — Scott, Jacksonville A: The 757 is one of my favorite airplanes. The lines are beautiful, and the performance is unmatched by other airliners. It has a higher thrust-to-weight ratio, resulting in spectacular climb performance. I have not had the chance to fly a 757 but have flown the simulator. I was impressed. Sadly, when I retired from the airline, I had not had the chance to fly it, but it would have been next on my list. Q: What is the cruising speed of a 757 in mph? — Alan, no location given A: In still air on a standard day, a 757 will cruise at 80% of the speed of sound (660 mph), or 530 mph. Q: It looks like airlines are replacing their 757s with 737800s and MAXs with comparable seating capacity. Do you know why? From a pilot’s perspective, what’s the difference? — Gerald Shenk, Seaside, Calif. A: The 737 burns significantly less fuel than the 757. Additionally, with the variation in the sizes of the 737, the scheduling flexibility for flight crews lowers the costs of operation. The maintenance cost of the 737 is lower because of the commonality of parts between the models. The 757 actually has the same size fuselage as a 737 in circumference. Cox is a retired airline captain with US Airways and runs his own aviation safety consulting company, Safety Operating Systems.
How to make your travel more meaningful Christopher Elliott Special for USA TODAY
When it comes to empty and meaningless rituals, there’s no place like the travel industry. Consider the annual pilgrimage to gaze at New England’s fall foliage. That’s right, Americans plan vacations around watching leaves fall off the trees. In a couple of months, we’ll crowd into a freezing Times Square to see the ball drop on New Year’s Eve. Come St. Patrick’s Day, we’ll march around in the snow and pretend to be Irish. Oh, I know. There’s more to these activities than leaves or balls or beer. Still, can’t we do better? Sure we can. With the right approach and goals, it’s doable. As you start contemplating your travel plans for 2016, this is the perfect time to think about a vacation with a purpose. It starts with the right attitude, says Jill Liberman, a behavior therapist and author of the book Choose Happy. “Travel offers so much opportunity to enrich your life,” she says, “if you are open to it.” How do you open yourself to it? Think native, she says. Stay away from the tourist traps, speak with as many people as possible, “gain insight firsthand about the destination and lifestyle.” Too many travelers simply join a tour group and allow themselves to be herded from one attraction to the other. They stop at the same scenic overlook to watch the leaves, eat at the same stuffy bed and breakfast, buy the same kitschy souvenirs. Liberman says there’s more

A hiker takes in the view on the 500-mile Camino de Santiago. to travel than that. Actually, you might find more meaning by skipping the tour entirely, according to Gabriel Schirm. That’s what he did after a recent career crisis. “I found myself stuck in a career where I felt like a meaningless cog in a giant wheel,” he says. “I needed to know why I was here on Earth.” He did so by hiking the 500mile length of the Camino de Santiago from St. Jean-Pied-dePort, France, to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, meeting kindred spirits along the way. “I found that setting out on an outdoor adventure in another
country and exploring by foot is one of the most incredible and intimate ways to experience not only a sense of place but a discovery of self,” says Schirm, who wrote about his adventure in a book called Sunrises to Santiago. Meaning comes through connections, says Jeff Wilson, who hosts Real Rail Adventures on Public Television. “It comes from those ‘aha!’ moments when you learn that, for example, Spanish children at a rural farm stay know some of the same songs that you do,” he says. Essentially, it is coming to a realization that we are different, but
uVOLUNTEER: “Our most meaningful experience yet was just recently when we had the honor of teaching school children in Tanzania,” says David James, author of “Going Gypsy: One Couple’s Adventure from Empty Nest to No Nest at All.” “It was an incredible experience where we learned as much as we taught.” uFOLLOW YOUR PASSION: “A vacation can provide us with the perfect place and circumstance to discover how impactful and vital your passion is to you,” says psychologist Kim Chronister. So if your passion is photography (as it is for my son and me), then shooting the foliage is a great way to bring meaning to a leaf-peeping vacation. uDO GOOD: Annie Scrivanich, a senior vice president for Cruise Specialists, a Seattle cruise agency, says her clients find meaning by creating items for donation. “In past trips, clients visiting Cambodia to tour Angkor Wat have contributed to local well projects to provide clean water for many local villagers,” she says.
we are also the same. “These phenomena produce a kind of tolerance and understanding that are hard to get by simply watching a travel show,” he says. No name is more synonymous with purposeful travel than Richard Bangs, the famed adventurer who founded Mountain Travel Sobek. For him, the best reason to visit remote places is to see them while he still can. “There are places that existed when I started my career that don’t exist anymore or that have been changed to the point that they are unrecognizable,” he says. “That is a reason to travel, for me — to see a place before it’s gone.” Meaning can come from many places. I’ve been on an open-ended trip around the world with my family (for me, it’s field research for this column), and we are driven by the same curiosity that pushes Bangs to see more and Schirm to do with less. We recently spent a month crossing Canada, where we made many meaningful connections with the people we met. I agree: If you put a little effort into it, travel can be more than a senseless ritual. No one is suggesting that you should skip the drive up to Vermont to admire the colorful fall foliage or avoid a place such as Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. I admit, I’ve done New Year’s in New York, and it’s pretty awesome. All that energy! Beatriz Craven, a Houston psychologist, says you can still find purpose in visits to these cliched destinations. “You can actually find real enjoyment in these places if you let go enough in the moment and let it just be what it is,” she says.

Jimmy Fallon had an eventful Saturday: He paraded through Harvard Square on a chariot, accepted a Harvard Lampoon award and went to the hospital. Fallon rep Claire Mercuri confirmed to USA TODAY that the comedian went to Massachusetts General Hospital to get checked out after falling on glass during his Harvard Lampoon celebration. Though Fallon’s right hand was bandaged from the incident, the comedian shared on Instagram Sunday that he’s doing fine: “Nothing that a few band aids couldn’t fix.”

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?
Idris Elba is officially a beast with a nation in the animated world of Zootopia. Elba voices Chief Bogo, the stern cape buffalo head of the Zootopia Police Department — serving and protecting the modern mammal metropolis created in Zootopia (in theaters March 4). Even the British toughguy actor is jealous of his beefy 2,000-pound character. “I’ve definitely got some shoulder-envy,” says Elba, 43, who reveals his character to USA TODAY. “I can’t say I ever even dreamed of being a buffalo before. But now that I am one, I’m very excited about it. And I grabbed the part by the horns.”
Both the bad puns and the animal characters are rolling out as Walt Disney Animation Studios reveals its complete cast of characters, which includes a doughnut-loving police receptionist cheetah, Benjamin Clawhauser (Nate Torrence), and Mrs. Otterton (Octavia Spencer), a desperate otter who turns to the police to help find her missing husband. Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin), the first bunny on the police force, has already been revealed. Judy joins forces with shady fox Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) to crack the missing-mammal case. Like each of the voice actors working with directors Byron Howard (Tangled) and Rich Moore (Wreck-It Ralph), Elba’s Chief Bogo evolved during the year-long process, with Elba recording in locations around the world while shooting projects such as Star Trek Beyond. The directors knew Elba could handle Bogo’s larger-than-life personality and allowed him to use his own East London accent. But they were surprised to discover Elba’s sense of humor. “Bogo started out this tough
boss. We thought, perfect, Idris is a dramatic character,” says Howard. “But Idris is so funny — people would be surprised. It was like, ‘We have to get some of this in the movie.’ So Chief Bogo has this goofiness under the surface.” Elba is relishing his foray into animation. “My kids are really going to enjoy it,” says Elba, who has a teenage daughter, Isan, and toddler son, Winston. “I always wanted to be Tom Hanks in Toy Story.” He would set the mood in the sound studio to find his Chief Bogo. “I like to turn the lights down, take my shoes off and get into the character. I really go for it in the room, with movement. I act out the part,” Elba says. “It’s a very animated performance.” But he didn’t go full-buffalo Bogo. “My thing was all about keeping his stoic nature. Chief Bogo has got these big horns, and he looks people right in the eyes. And I was trying to get that color in the voice. But it wasn’t like I was head-butting the microphone or anything.”

BURBANK , CALIF. Watch out, villains! Superman has a crimefighting cousin: Supergirl. The younger hero, a Krypton native who resisted her superpowers growing up, embraces them as a 24-year-old who protects her earthly home, National City, from an intergalactic criminal onslaught in CBS’ Supergirl. “It’s all brand-new. She’s just happy to use her powers at all,” says Melissa Benoist, who plays TV’s newest superhero and her alter ego, Kara Danvers, a mildmannered assistant for a metropolitan multimedia empire. “I like to think of this season as a crash course in how to be a superhero,” she says. “It’s about someone learning who they are and how to harness their strength and use it to be the best possible

person they can be.” And to fight nasty villains, save National City and try out some very cool powers. “Every time I’m flying, I’m having a blast,” Benoist says on set, clad in her Colleen Atwood-designed outfit, complete with
boots, skirt and leather cape, all in red, contrasted by a textured blue jersey sporting the red “S.” Executive producer Greg Berlanti, who has had success overseeing CW’s DC Comics-inspired Arrow and The Flash, sees a connection between Benoist and Christopher Reeve, who played Superman in Richard Donner’s 1978 film.
“Melissa’s very optimistic and hopeful, qualities you see in Kara,” he says. “She exhibits what I think (Reeve) did in terms of that affability and familiarity. When she’s Supergirl, it’s that same innocence that he had as Superman, but still that inherent goodness.” Supergirl’s optimism is closer to The Flash than the darker Arrow, Berlanti says. “The mythology is epic. You can go off-planet and (have) flashbacks to Krypton,” he says. And the workplace comedy component is different, too. “The fact that we’re able to do a little bit of that screwball comedy (Superman was) able to do so successfully makes it a little different.” In a field long dominated by men, Supergirl provides a superhero role model for girls and young women, but she symbolizes values anyone could admire, Benoist says. (That could help on CBS, which offers an opportunity to attract a broader audience, but also greater expectations.) Benoist says Supergirl is “all about hope, kindness and doing the right thing.”

NCAA rules to help hoops The smooth, skilled Golden State Warriors used free-flowing, stylish basketball and defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in six in the NBA Finals last June. That brand of basketball sure beat the lean-on-meI’ll-lean-on-you-harder battles that in recent decades too often left tall men in basketball jerseys looking more like one boxer clinching another in the corner of the ring. When the NBA, which has far better shooters and even faster athletes than the college game, plays a more entertaining style on top of the unavoidable advantages, it became past-due time for the NCAA to see if it could legislate its way to prettier basketball. It did, but enforcing rules intended to create freedom of movement from offensive players and promote scoring presents a far greater challenge than simply changing rules and points of emphasis. Curtis Shaw, supervisor of Big 12 basketball officials, spoke last week at the conference’s Media Day in Kansas City about “what we call the five major changes in basketball,” intended to allow basketball players to show their skills without facing football-like defenses. The refs, per an NCAA press release, have been told to “reduce physicality in order to create freedom of movement,” in five areas: n Hand-checking/bodybumping the ball-handler n Physical post play and rebounding n Freedom of movement for players without the ball (cutters) n Screening — stationary screens required n Offense-initiated contact with legal defenders Other changes include reducing the shot clock from 35 to 30 seconds, expanding the restricted-arc area under the basket from three to four feet, a reduction of 30-second timeouts from four to three and limiting coaches to calling timeouts during dead-ball situations (yes!). Among the changes Shaw demonstrated while showing game videos was one that forbids what’s known as “chucking” a cutter, basically breaking his flow by

THE KANSAS CITY ROYALS CELEBRATE THEIR 4-3 VICTORY AGAINST THE BLUE JAYS in Game 6 of the ALCS on Friday in Kansas City, Missouri. The Royals will make their second straight World Series appearance beginning Tuesday.
New faces helped K.C. return to Series Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Luke Hochevar was a member of the Kansas City Royals who advanced to the World Series a year ago. He was in the dugout for every playoff game, took part in all the champagne celebrations, got an American League championship ring after the season. He never threw a pitch, though.
That makes this year’s return to the Fall Classic so much sweeter. Now recovered from Tommy John surgery that sidelined him last season, Hochevar has been able to contribute to the success of the club that made the reliever the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2006. “It feels great. There’s no other way to explain it,” Ho-
chevar said. “To experience it last year was unbelievable. To have the opportunity to come back and do it again is even better.” The easy argument is the Royals are back because they’re the same team of a year ago. Their core players that became household names against the San Francisco Giants, such as first baseman
Eric Hosmer and outfielder Lorenzo Cain, are still doing their thing in Kansas City. The reality is the Royals are back largely because of all their new faces. There were only 12 players on their 25-man roster for the AL Championship Series against Toronto that were Please see ROYALS, page 3C
Lightfoot’s coach no stranger to talent By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com
Lightfoot
The high school coach of future Kansas University basketball forward Mitch Lightfoot just happens to be Kurt Keener — the same man who won nine state titles in 35 seasons at Detroit Country Day in Michigan.
Keener — who, like Lightfoot, is starting his second season at Gilbert Christian High in Arizona — is quite the talent developer and evaluator. At Country Day, he tutored NBA players Chris Webber, Shane Battier and Ray McCallum, as well as fellow McDonald’s All
American Amir Williams, formerly of Ohio State. “I would say Mitch has that same competitive fire. That’s the thing that both Chris and Shane had. They were intense competitors,” Keener said in a Sunday interview with the JournalWorld. “I don’t think he (Lightfoot) is as physically
gifted as Chris Webber was at this stage, nor do I think he’s quite the cerebral basketball player that Shane was. He’s not far off. “He (Lightfoot) works hard, rose to the occasion on the club circuit. The better the competition the better Please see LIGHTFOOT, page 3C

Logano makes it 3-for-3 in 2nd Talladega, Ala. (ap) — Joey Logano used a controversial finish at Talladega Superspeedway to sweep the second round of NASCAR’s playoffs and end Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s championship chances. The race ended under caution when reigning Sprint Cup champion Kevin Harvick stumbled on the final restart to trigger a multi-car accident in the middle of the field. Because NASCAR said this week it would make just one attempt to finish the race under the green flag, the field was frozen and Earnhardt was denied the chance to race Logano for the win. Logano went 3-for-3 in this second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, and in doing so the Team Penske driver eliminated two of the top title threats. Earnhardt, who led a racehigh 61 laps Sunday, finished second but was eliminated in the second round of the playoffs for the second consecutive year. Also knocked out of the field Sunday was Matt Kenseth, who was spun by Logano last week as the two raced for the win at Kansas. Kenseth, who has been furious with Logano for a week, left Talladega displeased with Harvick’s late-race tactics. Harvick informed his team under caution he had a mechanical issue that was preventing him from accelerating, but he stayed in line and his inability to go on the restart triggered the race-ending accident. “It was a pretty tough ending. (He) knew he was blowing up and told everybody he was going to stay in his lane,” Kenseth said. “It just feels like we kind of lost control of the situation.” Denny Hamlin echoed the sentiments of his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate. He was caught in the accident and said after that Harvick caused the wreck rather than risk losing positions on the track that would knock him out of the Chase. He had scathing take on Twitter after he was eliminated from the Chase. Joe Gibbs Racing, the heavy favorites in this championship race, instead had two of its four drivers knocked out of the playoffs on Sunday. “What a joke we have a car with no motor wreck the field to end the race. Complete crap. Sorry to anyone who spent $ coming to this circus,” Hamlin tweeted.

BAYLOR RUNNING BACK SHOCK LINWOOD, LEFT, TAKES THE HANDOFF from quarterback Seth Russell during the Bears’ victory over Iowa State on Saturday in Waco, Texas.
Baylor QB Russell fractures bone in neck Waco, Texas — Playoff hopeful Baylor is facing a potentially huge loss after staying undefeated, with quarterback Seth Russell set to see a specialist for a fractured bone in his neck. The extent of Russell’s injury won’t be known until after that visit early this week, but the second-ranked Bears (7-0) will almost certainly be without the top-rated FBS passer for at least some time when headed into their toughest stretch of the season. “Always concerned, 100 percent. First and foremost, about his health and then football,” coach Art Briles said after Russell was hurt in the Bears’ 45-27 victory over Iowa State on Saturday. Briles later told ESPN’s Brett McMurphy that Russell “would probably be out awhile.” Baylor officials said again Sunday that the timetable for Russell’s return was still unknown until after seeing the specialist. Russell, a devout Christian, posted a message on his Twitter and Instagram accounts that read, “His plan isn’t always clear..but trusting in His plan for me. Thanks for all the prayers Baylor.” Highly-touted freshman Jarrett Stidham would take over for Russell as starter. Stidham has played in every game this season, completing 24 of 28 passes for 331 yards with six touchdowns and no interceptions. Russell is 119 of 200 for 2,104 yards with FBS-high 29 touchdowns and six interceptions. The junior’s 29 passing TDs and six rushing scores match what Bryce Petty had in his 12 games last season for Baylor before being drafted by the New York Jets.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Struggling Miami fires Golden Coral Gables, Fla. — Miami has fired coach Al Golden, midway through his fifth season and one day after the Hurricanes endured the worst loss in the program’s 90-year history. Golden went 32-25 with the Hurricanes and 17-18 in Atlantic Coast Conference play, his entire stint marred by an NCAA investigation and subsequent fallout caused by things that happened before he arrived in Coral Gables. His last game with Miami was a 58-0 loss to thenNo. 6 Clemson, a result that had fans booing from the stands and calling for his departure — as many had for some time. Miami (4-3, 1-2 ACC) plays at Duke on Saturday night. Larry Scott will take over as Miami’s interim head coach.
UCF coach O’Leary retires Orlando, Fla. — Following one of the worst starts in program history, George O’Leary is retiring as UCF’s football coach, effective immediately, the school announced Sunday. It comes a day after the Knights dropped to 0-8 with a 59-10 loss to Houston, the worst home defeat in school history. Quarterbacks coach Danny Barrett has been named interim coach. The 69-year-old coach leaves UCF with an 81-68 record.
NBA
Flip Saunders dies at 60 Minneapolis — Flip Saunders, the longtime NBA coach who won more than 650 games in nearly two decades and was trying to rebuild the Minnesota Timberwolves as team president, coach and part owner, died Sunday, the team said. He was 60. Saunders was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in June and doctors called it “treatable and curable,” when the Timberwolves made the diagnosis public in August. But he took a leave of absence from the team in September after complications arose during his treatment, which included chemotherapy. Saunders went 654-592 in 17 NBA seasons with the Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards.
SOCCER
Sporting wins, makes playoffs Kansas City, Kan. — Dominic Dwyer scored the go-ahead goal in the 65th minute and Sporting Kansas City secured a playoff berth with a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday night. Sixth-seeded Sporting Kansas City (14-11-9, 51 points) will face third-seeded Portland on Thursday night, while the Galaxy (14-11-9, 51 points) took the fifth seed and will play fourthseeded Seattle on Wednesday night. Both are knockout-round matches. Benny Feilhaber raced down the center of the field, and then passed the ball through three defenders to Dwyer. Dwyer shot just outside the 6-yard box and beat diving goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts for his 12th goal of the season.

BRIEFLY Kansas soccer falls to OSU, 2-0 Stillwater, Okla. — Oklahoma State scored the only goal it would need 11⁄2 minutes in and went on to a 2-0 Big 12 soccer victory over Kansas University on Sunday at the Cowgirl Soccer Complex. It was KU’s third straight shutout loss. The Jayhawks fell to 8-8-1 overall, 3-4-0 in the Big 12. OSU improved to 9-7-2 and 2-3-2. “I thought we played fairly well today, but when you start off behind the 8-ball 90 seconds in, it makes it really tough on you,” KU coach Mark Francis said. “I can’t fault the girls for the effort they gave today, but we just weren’t tuned in for whatever reason during the first 10 minutes. We need to bounce back and beat TCU on Friday and go have a great week at the conference tournament. If we do that, we’ll keep playing.” The Cowgirls ended the match outshooting the Jayhawks 15-13, however KU managed to put more shots on target at 4-3. Twenty-nine fouls were called between the two squads in what was a physical match in addition to six yellow cards, four of which were on the Jayhawks. Kansas will now close out the regular season when the Jayhawks host TCU at 7 p.m. Friday at Rock Chalk Park. It will be the final home match for seniors Liana Salazar, Ashley Williams and Courtney Dickerson.

KU FOOTBALL
LB Dineen continues to shine By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com
In back-to-back weeks, both losses by the struggling Kansas University football team, sophomore linebacker Joe Dineen Jr. recorded career-high, double-digit tackle totals, adding a silver lining to a season dotted with gray. Dineen, the former Free State High standout who played running back his first season at KU and was recruited as a safety, said after leading KU with 11 tackles during Saturday’s 58-10 loss at Oklahoma State that the reason for his sudden surge was twofold. For starters, Dineen in recent weeks has begun better to pick up the little intracacies of his new spot on the field, thanks largely to the tutelage of linebackers coach Kevin Kane and defensive co-

ordinator Clint Bowen, both former KU players. “The position is just coming easier for me,” said Dineen, who ranks fourth on the Kansas defense with 38 tackles, second in tackles for loss (3.5) and third in sacks (2). “I’m seeing movement better, and c o a c h Kane and c o a c h Dineen B o w e n have both done a great job of helping me with my eyes and getting off blocks, all the stuff that comes with being a linebacker.” The other element of the game that has aided Dineen’s rapid development is the one that got him playing football in the first place: the old-
fashioned feeling of heading out to the park or the backyard with his buddies and letting loose. “I love it,” said Dineen of playing linebacker. “I really do.” Asked why those words were accompanied by a glow in his eyes, Dineen elaborated. “Every play, you’re kind of in the action, even if you’re not,” he said. “You know, a lineman will come up and hit ya. It’s just fun. It’s just football.” Dineen still has a long way to go before he can be mentioned in the same breath as the long list of talented linebackers that came before him during the past decade or two at Kansas. But the Lawrence native’s combination of passion for the program, hunger to improve and natural football instincts certainly have him head-
In past years, most notably two seasons ago, efforts to clean up the game sometimes have resulted in so many whistles early in the year resulting in games that have no rhythm and leave crowds restless, even bored. Then as the season goes on, the new emphasis gives way to old ways, and except for muddying up the beginning of the season, not much really has changed. Most signs point to the refs maintaining enforcement this time. “Two years ago, the emphasis was on the perimeter,” Kansas University coach Bill Self said at Big 12 Media Day. “This is an emphasis on everything. On an out-of-bounds under (the basket) play, if we start with my hands on him, foul. There’s not going to be any hesitation. “This won’t trail off. It’s the mandate from the head of the heads all the way down to everybody. Commissioners will be involved if they are not enforcing the rules or calling it the way they intended it to be called.” In the short term, this will hurt Kansas more than most because Self has done such an excellent job through the years at coaching players to defend with physicality off the ball. Over time, things will even out because Self will do a better job than most of communicating the changes to his players and getting them to do what he wants them to do. “The most physical team in the past seemed to me to always have an advantage,” Self said.
“We took great pride in our teams being physical. The team that hits first and team that doesn’t allow you to get to your spot, teams like that will be the teams in foul trouble and the opponents will be shooting a lot of free throws.” Self said that he thinks basketball will “become a — ‘finesse’ game may not be the right word — but you can almost use that word. There will be more freedom of movement to actually make plays offensively.” That sounds terrific. I wish he had stopped there, because I had been trying to suppress the potential dreaded consequence of the rules changes. But he didn’t stop there. He said it. “I think there will be a ton of free throws,” Self said, words that had the same impact on my ears as someone snapping gum loudly while dragging fingernails across a chalkboard and telling me the kitchen just ran out of flan. Therein lies the challenge for those charged with legislating and enforcing a better game: Find the best way to do it without turning games into a boring succession of: 1. Whistle. 2. Everybody stops. 3. One player shoots an uncontested 15-footer. 4. Go back to the beginning and repeat steps 1 through 3. It’s definitely a worthy cause. Here’s hoping coaches, players and partisan fans will try to put themselves in the refs’ sneakers and show them patience. Yeah, that’s going to happen.
is a post player in high school. Keener was asked to describe Lightfoot’s role for this season and likely in the future at KU. “Mitch is a dominant player in high school because he’s very athletic. He can score in a number of ways. He attacks the basket, tries to block every shot around the hoop and gets up and down the floor,” Keener said. “At the college level, I believe he’ll be able to make the transition from maybe a pure post player to a stretch-4 because he can shoot the ball out on the floor. We just don’t need him to shoot threes, so we don’t ask him to shoot a whole lot. I think he’s a young man that can play for the Jayhawks and help keep their winning tradition going.” Keener has already spoken with Lightfoot about not straying too far from the goal during his upcoming senior season. “I told him (Lightfoot) when Battier was
in high school he took three triples his entire senior year,” Keener said. “Then at the McDonald’s game he (Battier) won the three-point shooting contest making 19 of 25 in the finals. I told him (Mitch), ‘We can work on your perimeter game and do things that will help you into the next level.’ I don’t want him to be too far away from the basket and launching all the time for us. I think he understands that. We’ll be able to work on things to get him ready for the next level and hopefully take care of winning this year for us.” It remains to be seen how much the No. 117-rated (by Rivals. com) Lightfoot plays his college freshman campaign. “To say for any freshman to come in and start at KU is a big thing,” Keener said. “I suppose it depends on how many guys at KU left. If they have one and done guys, potentially he could (start).”
ed in the right direction. This, in just a handful of games at his new position. Dineen said those natural football instincts have served him well in the transition, and, after spending the first three or four weeks of the season operating like a player who was still processing all of his responsibilities, Dineen has opened it up and let it rip a little more during the past few weeks. “Not thinking as much,” Dineen said. “Just kind of seeing things and going.” Never was that more evident than Saturday, when Dineen delivered the hit of the game in the loss to the Cowboys, a sack of Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph, who never saw Dineen coming from his blind side and crumbled after the contact.
“The D-end did a good job occupying the tackle, and I just got to come free,” Dineen said in hohum fashion. “He held on to the ball a little longer, and no one came (to block me), so I just took my shot.”
KU-OU set for 2:30 KU officials announced Sunday that the Jayhawks’ home game Saturday against No. 13 Oklahoma will kick off at 2:30 p.m. and be televised by FOX Sports 1. The official game-time announcement was delayed a week as the network sorted out its World Series coverage. Saturday will be homecoming for KU. OU leads the series with KU, 3314-3, in games played in Lawrence. Kansas’ last win over the Sooners at Memorial Stadium was a 20-17 decision in 1997.

Chiefs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C
while Charcandrick West added 110 yards rushing and his first career TD as the Chiefs (2-5) finally earned a celebration in their home locker room. “This is something we’ve been working toward,” said Eric Berry, whose first interception since being diagnosed with cancer in December led to the Chiefs’ first touchdown. Meanwhile, the Chiefs shut down Pittsburgh’s Landry Jones, who made his first NFL start in place of the injured Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Vick. Jones threw for 209 yards and a touchdown, but he was also picked off twice and lost a fumble that helped end the game. “If I took care of the ball today,” he said, “we would be right there in it.” LeVeon Bell ran for 121 yards for the Steelers (4-3), who had won three straight against Kansas City. Antonio Brown had six catches for 124 yards, while Martavis Bryant caught his 11th touchdown pass in 12 career games. “They made more dynamic plays than we did, particularly over the last 30 minutes of the game,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “They converted necessary third downs on offense and made dynamic, game-changing plays on defense.” Tomlin said that Roethlisberger, still out with a knee injury, was close to being ready to play, and that the quarterback should be ready to go next week against Cincinnati. “We decided to go with the guy that had the practice reps. That was the appropriate thing to do. No second-guessing,” Tomlin said. “We’ll move forward with Ben as we prepare this week.” The first half amounted to a field-goal fest, which wasn’t all that surprising considering the amount of offensive talent that both teams were missing to injury. Santos hit three of them after Chiefs drives stalled in the red zone, though he did miss a 54-yarder just before the half. Chris Boswell knocked through a 24-yarder for Pittsburgh. The Chiefs finally established a cushion midway through the third quarter. It began when Jones threw a pass over the middle that skipped away from Brown and right to Berry, who reacted quickly enough to make the diving interception. The Chiefs capitalized by driving 47 yards, at one point using a hurry-up offense to keep Pittsburgh off-balance. West finally plunged in from a yard on third-and-goal to end a streak of seven trips to the red zone without a touchdown, and giving Kansas City a 16-3 lead.
