Oread group pays $500K ‘under protest’ City had demanded rebates issued be returned by Thursday

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Developers of The Oread hotel, accused of filing incorrect sales tax returns to receive improper rebates from the city, sent the city the nearly $500,000 it demanded on deadline Thursday, but they did so “under protest” and accompa-

nied the check with a letter refusing other demands. The letter stated Oread Inn, L.C. disagrees with the findings of a city-ordered audit; contends it is not obligated to go forward with the city’s other demands; and sent the nearly

$500,000 merely to meet the city’s deadline, but not as intended as a payment. Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard said the city is “reviewing the letter in order to determine its next steps.” Oread Inn’s check and letter

were hand-delivered Thursday in response to the city’s Dec. 16 demand letter, which told developers of the hotel that it was required to pay $492,914.86 and agree to changes in its redevelopment agreement with the city in order to avoid risking

Jaered Long, the 16-year-old suspect in the Monday night slaying of his grandmother, pleaded not guilty Thursday in Douglas County District Court. Long is being charged as a juvenile with first-degree murder. Late Monday night police found Long’s grandmother, Deborah Bretthauer, 67, dead in her apartment at 1200 George Long Court, noting “obvious traumatic injuries.” Police had responded to a call of a stabbing at the residence, where Long also lived. Police said Long is the one who made the call. After questioning, Long was soon arrested and charged in the death. Thursday morning Long appeared in Douglas County District Court for a detention hearing. His mother, Melinda Toumi, and a handful of others waited on one side of the courtroom before he entered. Toumi’s eyes were red with tears. As others filed into the courtroom they gave her hugs and offerings of support. Long was led into the courtroom wearing shackles around his ankles and a gray fleece jacket. He did not turn around to see his family, but instead sat in silence, facing forward, cracking his knuckles. Represented by attorney Craig Stancliffe, Long pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murder charge. The prosecution, led by District Attorney Charles Branson, asked for Long to be detained on the basis that he may be a danger to himself or others. Branson submitted criminal complaints and arresting affidavits for Pro Tem Judge James George to consider.

YEAR IN REVIEW

t was a battle between former Lawrence mayor Jeremy Farmer and President Barack Obama. Farmer got the victory, but he may not spend much time celebrating it. The downfall of Farmer, and the shakeup that it produced at Lawrence City Hall, has been chosen as the top local story of 2015 in a vote of Journal-World editors and reporters. Farmer’s stiffest competition in the voting was Obama, who drew thousands of onlookers to the Kansas University campus in January for a presidential address. As we flip the calendar and put away those pointy party hats for another year, let’s take a look at some of the top stories of 2015, and make some guesses about what stories we may be talking about a year from now. (Yes, you can keep your hat on, if you want.)

to fake sales in a special taxing district at the hotel — established through the redevelopment agreement — to boost the amount that would be reimbursed back to themselves. The city, complying with a redevelopment agreement that calls on it to rebate a large percentage of all local sales taxes collected at 1200 Oread Ave., improperly paid Oread Inn $429,914.85 from January 2010 through June 2015, according to the audit. The city charged Oread Inn $63,320.11 in interest when demanding repayment. Oread Wholesale — the business at the heart of the controversy — is owned by Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel, a leader of

the group that developed The Oread hotel. The development group’s response letter, signed by attorney Roger Walter of the Law Offices of Morris Laing, states that Oread Wholesale has retained its own experts to analyze the auditors’ report. Oread Inn will respond further to the report once that review is complete, it states. The review is expected to be finished sometime in January. Besides the money, the city required Oread Inn by Thursday to agree, in writing, to include a clause in its redevelopment agreement that would allow the city to audit any sales tax records of Oread Inn, its tenants or anyone doing business with The Oread hotel. The response from Oread Inn said this demand exceeded their obligations under the agreement. The

Dr. Marion O’Brien, MA, PhD, of Jamestown, NC, Professor Emerita at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, died peacefully on the evening of December 21, 2015. Diagnosed with cancer in June 2015, she remained active and engaged with friends and family until the last week of her life. She is survived by three children, son Connor O’Brien of Emeryville, CA and daughters Shay O’Brien of Alameda, CA and Lia O’Brien of Greensboro, NC, their spouses, two grandchildren, Rowan O’Brien and Finian Gibbs, and cousin Judy Bley, of San Francisco. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother Albert Meier, all of Philadelphia, and by her husband of 45 years, Dr. W. John O’Brien. Born on February 4, 1943 to Ferdinand and Eleanor Meier of Philadelphia, PA, she was married to the late W. John O’Brien in 1964. She graduated BA from Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, PA in 1964, and went on to receive her MA and PhD at the University of Kansas, where she enjoyed a distinguished career as an Assistant to Full Professor in the department of Human Development and Family Life. During her 16 years as faculty at KU, she directed a number of significant research programs studying cognitive and social development in young children. During their time in Lawrence, Marion and John were active members of the

congregation of Trinity Episcopal Church. At the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, she went on to serve as a Professor and Mentor Faculty in the Human Development and Family Studies Department from 2001 to 2012 and Associate Dean of Research in the School of Health and Human Services from 2007 to 2011. During her academic career, she served on several editorial boards for prominent journals in the field of child development and was nationally prominent as a researcher and policy advocate. She was a mentor to many students and junior faculty during her career. Throughout her life and especially so following her retirement, she was an avid traveler who had been on every continent except Antarctica. A loving wife, mother and grandmother, beloved as a wise and compassionate person, she maintained throughout her life the curiosity and humane spirit for which she will be fondly remembered by all who knew her. The family will receive well-wishers at 4:00 PM, Saturday January 9, 2016 at the Virginia Dare Alumni House on the UNCG campus, with a memorial service to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to The Terri Lynne Lokoff Child Care Foundation. Please sign this guestbook at Obituaries. LJWorld.com.

development group questioned the city’s right to demand revisions to their arrangement. “Oread Inn has abided by the terms of the Redevelopment Agreement, and it will continue to do so,” the letter reads. The city also demanded Oread Inn to pay the cost of hiring the auditors, which, as of Dec. 5, was $27,455.65. Developers took issue with that demand, too, saying in the letter that they were not obligated to reimburse those costs under their agreement with the city. If the city could establish a lawful basis for Oread Inn reimbursing those costs, the letter stated, there are “more than enough funds” available in the city’s tax increment financing fund account. Funds in that account are used to reimburse developers, such as Oread

Inn, that are part of special taxing districts. The city has not been reimbursing Oread Inn since June, after the audit began. Oread Inn’s response also said the group did not have to comply with the city’s last demand: to get all of Oread Wholesale’s sales tax records and documents that the business used to prepare its original sales tax returns and provide them to auditors by Jan. 18. Auditors, in their report, cited trouble early on in reviewing Oread Wholesale’s books and records. Oread Wholesale filed forms with the state to amend some of its sales tax returns — reducing its net sales within the special taxing district by nearly 62 percent — after the city contacted the business about the audit. “Oread Inn has no right or authority to commit its

Wichita killing linked to Internet Wichita (ap) — An affidavit says a slain Wichita State University student contacted a woman charged in his death about sexual services she advertised online shortly before he was killed. Rayan Ibrahim Baba, a 23-year-old Saudi undergraduate student, was found shot in a parking lot of one of the university’s dormitories around 6:30 a.m. Aug. 8. Eboni Fingal, 20, was charged with firstdegree murder and aggravated robbery in October, and a 23-year-old man also faces those charges. The affidavit released Wednesday says Baba called Fingal about 30 minutes before his death, The Wichita Eagle reported. Police tracked cellphone locations from the suspects, the affidavit says, and that information and surveillance video pinpointed the three together in the parking lot around 5:30 that morning. Baba first came into contact with Fingal in July through listing on Backpage.com, according to the affidavit. The two had a sexual encounter in a restaurant parking lot, the affidavit says. On the morning of his death, the affidavit says Baba called a number on a Backpage listing that was later identified as one used by Fingal. A preliminary hearing for Fingal is scheduled Jan. 7.

current tenants any new obligations, or to unilaterally amend current tenant leases,” the letter states. Oread Inn’s redevelopment agreement with the city, approved by the City Commission in 2008, has generated more than $3 million for the development group in the past seven years, one-third of which is sales taxes reported from Oread Wholesale. If the agreement lasts, it could bring in another $8 million for developers. The city made its demands under a clause in the redevelopment agreement that calls for mutual assistance in carrying out the agreement’s intent. If Oread Inn were not to follow through on the demands, the development group may be deemed as in default, potentially giving cause for the agreement to be terminated,

the city’s letter stated. Some of the group’s actions were thought by auditors to be illegal. Stoddard said earlier this week that the city has had preliminary discussions with law enforcement. “This is certainly a situation that was not contemplated by the city, that something like this would be occurring,” Stoddard said in a Dec. 16 interview. “In this particular case, we worked hard to get to the bottom of what was occurring, and, in the end, we want what is fair to the city.” The Journal-World’s calls to Fritzel since Dec. 16 have gone unanswered. Stoddard said Dec. 16 she had spoken with Fritzel, and that he had wanted to resolve the matter. — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can be reached at 832-7144 or nwentling@ ljworld.com.

LAWRENCE • STATE

L awrence J ournal -W orld member City Commission had terms expiring. One incumbent, Mike Dever, chose not to seek re-election. The remaining two, Terry Riordan and Bob Schumm, lost their bids for re-election. Voters elected three first-time office holders: Leslie Soden, Stuart Boley and Matthew Herbert. With Farmer’s resignation, the commission got another new face and first-time commissioner in Lisa Larsen. To top it off, longtime City Manager David Corliss in April announced that he was leaving to take a similar position in Castle Rock, Colo.

system has filed for bankruptcy, and left Here officials scrambling to figure out how they will accommodate the hundreds of tenants that will be part of the apartment/retail development. Jim Heffernan, a leader of the Here development group, said the latest plan to construct a 96unit garage will provide the project with enough parking, and he believes the garage will fit in with the surrounding Oread neighborhood too. “We think it will be a

The announcement, sent to reporters late Thursday afternoon, did not specify when the transition to become a private entity would be finalized. However, it did say that KBA president and CEO Duane Cantrell would step down effec-

very low-profile building,” Heffernan said. “We’ll also be trying to use identical materials that were approved by the city for our other building.” Plans call for the parking garage to be one story below ground and one story above ground, he said. Heffernan confirmed parking plans for the multistory Here building have changed. Originally, the building was to include an automated parking garage system that used a series of tracks and robotics to park cars without the assistance of a driver. But when the vendor for the parking system filed

for bankruptcy, Heffernan said plans for the automated system were discarded, and the building now will put a traditional parking garage in the space where the automated garage previously was planned. The traditional garage, though, won’t be able to accommodate as many vehicles. The proposed garage at 1137 Indiana, though, will make up for those lost parking spaces plus some, Heffernan said. The new plans call for the project to have a total of 712 parking spaces. That’s up from 685 spaces that were proposed as part of the original development. Heffernan said his de-

velopment group has a deal in place to purchase the property at 1137 Indiana Street from a group led by Lawrence resident Ed Carter, if the plans for the parking garage are approved. The parking garage plans will face hearings before both the Planning Commission and the City Commission. The property must be rezoned from a multifamily zoning district to a mixed use zoning district in order to accommodate the parking garage. The Here project, which was controversial because it received an 85-percent property tax rebate and because many

neighbors expressed concern that more parking was needed for the project, will be heard by the current City Commission for the first time. The past City Commission approved the project previously, but since that time four new members have joined the five-member commission. Heffernan said he hopes to have city approvals by the end of March, which would keep the project on track to open by the beginning of the next KU school year.

tive today, to be replaced by Kevin Lockett, who has served as KBA’s chief financial officer and chief operating officer. KBA was established in 2004 as a kind of public-private venture capital entity that used both state funds and private money to invest in startup bioscience technology companies locating mainly in the Kansas City area.

In recent years, though, tensions have grown between the KBA and the Kansas Legislature over the types of investments made. Some lawmakers have also expressed philosophical concerns about whether it is appropriate to use state funds to make private equity investments. During the 2015 session, lawmakers slashed the state’s appropriation

to KBA to just $13 million in each of the next two years, instead of the $35 million and $75 million KBA was expecting to receive. Of that $13 million, nearly half is directed to state universities. “Based on current realities, privatizing the KBA best serves the Kansas bioscience industry, KBA’s portfolio of companies, the state of Kansas and the organization,”

Cantrell said. Thursday’s announcement did not provide details about how it plans to handle the state’s equity interests in KBA’s portfolio. Attempts to reach KBA officials by phone Thursday afternoon were not successful.

A guide to what’s happening in Lawrence

PREDICTING THE FOOD TRENDS OF 2016 Rick Martin: More ‘open-fire cooking’

Topping everything with a fried egg? So last year

ith the countdown to the New Year — and New Year’s resolutions, which for many of us will involve eating more sustainably or locally or gluten-free or Paleo or simply “better,” in some form or another — over and done with, it’s an appropriate time to discuss what could be the food trends for 2016. Here, a few Lawrence chefs and restaurateurs give their predictions for what’s ahead in the culinary world and (in some cases) what we should leave behind in 2015:

Rick Martin, chef-owner of Limestone Pizza, 814 Massachusetts St. “I think the big one I’m seeing is open-fire cooking, which I see in the bigger cities — taking things back a hundred years when we cooked over open fire a lot. You see a lot of restaurants that are serving wild game and whole birds and larger cuts of meat that are cooked over an open flame.” Martin says there are about 50 restaurants in the country engaging in this pioneer-style method of cooking — Husk in Charleston, S.C., and Hatchet Hall in Los Angeles being two examples — though he doesn’t expect the trend to hit northeast Kansas anytime soon. “It seems like Lawrence is a bit behind by about five years.” Nick Wysong, owner of Ingredient, 947 Massachusetts St. “I think steadily and in general, everyone is becoming a lot more aware (of food) and the impact it can have on health and healthier habits, and I think that’s probably a pretty strong trend. That’s an idea that’s happening globally.”

Out & About

Lee Meisel: ‘Someone’s got to bring back Jell-O shots.’

Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

Louis Wigen-Toccalino, owner of Decade coffee shop, 920 Delaware St. On which trends he’d like to continue: “Lawrence specifically has been pushing in the right direction in the past few years. I would like to see more small businesses and startups finding their feet, like 1900 Barker and Leeway Franks. More untraditional food venues, more little popups and more little corners and additions to existing businesses to give small-business people with creative ideas an opportunity to do something that doesn’t involve opening an entirely new restaurant — Fork to Fender, the Waffle Iron and Taco Zone (are) really creative solutions to that problem.” On which trends he’d like to see less of: “I’m curious to see what the next sandwich trend will be. A couple years ago it was bacon, then it was egg. ... I think putting an egg on top of every sandwich is getting tired at this point. Pâté — that’s my wish. Let’s bring mousses back.” Wigen-Toccalino says he and the Decade crew are working to “overhaul” their menu now, with a new roster of soups, sandwiches, salads and small plates (during bar hours) expected by mid-January. Perhaps we’ll see a return of Decade’s popular banh mi with Hank Charcuterie pâté?

Lee Meisel, chef-owner of Leeway Franks, 935 Iowa St. On which trends he’d like to see continue: “I think as far as Lawrence in particular, I think we’re still getting to the point where people are looking more at local products. It’s been growing for the past 10 years, but I think people are going to start sourcing (local products) even more. Guys like Rick Martin down at Limestone are doing a great job contributing to that, getting people aware of these different farmers and building those relationships.” On which trends he’d like to see less of: “I’d like to see the whole bacon thing go away once and for all. Bacon’s great, but at the same time, there’s only so much bacon to go around. I get tired of it. And then the whole afterthought of putting an egg on everything … it’s kind of played out.” And a few thoughts on beverage trends: “It seems like we’ve been in the ‘Year of the Cocktail’ for the last five years. I think we’ll see more of a tongue-in-cheek pushback against the $12 cocktail. Someone’s got to bring back Jell-O shots or gin and juice. I’d like to see us go back to more utilitarian drinks as opposed to the more fussy stuff.”

Rob Schulte, manager of La Prima Tazza, 638 Massachusetts St. Louis Wigen-Toccalino: “I think just education has been high. People are teach‘I’m curious to see what the ing themselves about different coffee trends and difnext sandwich trend will be.’ ferent ways to make drinks. ... I think people are kind of Journal-World File Photos coming back into the realm of tea as well.” Ted Nguyen, owner price point but in the simplicity One last thing: “I want to of Ted’s Taphouse, of the food.

Fashion influences: My friend Margie Hogue (of Lawrence); the Internet. What are your favorite and least favorite things about Lawrence?

Fashion trends you love: I don’t really pay attention to a lot of things that are trending; I just kind of do my own little thing.

What are your favorite and least favorite things about Lawrence? My favorite thing about Lawrence is that it has a lot more to offer than Topeka, but I guess the one thing that I hate about it is that it’s different and I’m not quite used to it yet, so I’m kind of at a disadvantage. Whom do people say you look like? People say Bob Marley, but that’s just because of the dreadlocks. I don’t really resemble him at all. Tell us a secret: I have a really bad Dr Pepper problem. I’m an addict.

“Masterpiece Mystery” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) goes back to the future by way of the past with “Sherlock: The Abominable Bride.” This latest installment of the smart and popular, albeit visually gimmicky, Sherlock Holmes adaptation starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman returns the detective and doctor to 1890s London, the setting of the novels by Arthur Conan Doyle. Just how they got there is just one of the mysteries at the center of “Bride.” “Bride” breaks interesting new ground for the “Sherlock” series and is a sign of the changing nature of international television. Up until now, episodes of British series like this one or “Downton Abbey” completed their runs in the U.K. before airing in the United States. U.S. series like “Homeland” and “Fargo” appear on British television after a few weeks’ delay. “Bride” debuts today in both countries, a television first.

Path to global power not so clear

EDITORIALS

Busy year Elections, new facilities and new leaders should make 2016 an interesting year in Lawrence.

very year is a new adventure, but 2016 is shaping up to be even more filled with local activity and change than most. For one thing, there will be new faces in a number of key leadership roles. A new Lawrence city manager is expected to be named soon, and searches are under way for a new Lawrence school superintendent and a new president and CEO for Lawrence Memorial Hospital. A number of top administrative positions also are open at Kansas University, including the provost’s job. All of these people have the potential to make a big impact on the community, and changes in so many offices at one time is both daunting and exciting. Changes also are afoot for the Lawrence landscape. The eastern leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway is scheduled to be completed during 2016, and Menard Inc. has said it hopes to break ground next summer for a new warehouse and production plant in Lawrence VenturePark. It will be the first occupant of that park on the east edge of the city, and it would be great if that property attracts other businesses during the year. City and county officials already have some important issues on their agendas for the coming year. At least one focus for the Douglas County Commission will be continued work on new jail facilities and a new mental health crisis center. The Lawrence City Commission has scheduled a study session to look at how the city uses various tax incentives for new development. How the city handles retail and other business development is likely to be a key issue in the coming year. It’s also likely to be an exciting year for some relatively new facilities in the community. The school district’s new College and Career Center and the adjacent Peaslee Technical Training Center are just getting rolling and hopefully will be a great asset for the community. Rock Chalk Park and Sports Pavilion Lawrence already are hosting many events, and 2016 will be a busy year of planning for the USA Track & Field Junior Olympics, which will be held there in July 2017. And did we mention, 2016 is an election year? The unfolding of the presidential election race certainly will be interesting to watch, but county offices and all of the state’s legislative seats also will be on the November ballot. Members of the Kansas House and Senate reportedly are eager to have a short legislative session that keeps controversy to a minimum. It will be interesting to see whether their voting constituents are satisfied with the direction the state is heading when they go to the polls. A number of state judges also will on the ballot for election or retention votes, and there is speculation that a greater-than-normal focus will be placed on those elections. So, even without the new issues and developments that are bound to crop up in the next 12 months, 2016 already looks like a pretty interesting year. We hope it’s a good one for you and for Lawrence. Happy New Year!

Washington — Making New Year’s predictions is tricky in this turbulent world, but here’s one fairly safe bet: The next president will propose a more assertive U.S. foreign policy. Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, has often sounded nearly as hawkish about use of military force as the Republican contenders. But what would a new American assertiveness mean, in practical terms? What can U.S. military power do, realistically, to combat the Islamic State and other threats more effectively? How can China and Russia be checked militarily? The rhetoric of American power will be flexed during the campaign, but what about the substance? Projecting power will be harder than many candidates seem to realize. The first reality check for a new president will be the Pentagon. This generation of military leaders has been through traumatic wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They’ve cautioned President Obama about the potential cost in lives and money of new commitments in the Middle East, and they’ll do the same with the next commander in chief. If you want to hear arguments against deploying a big U.S. ground force in Syria, just ask a general. Half-baked ideas about projecting power aren’t likely to survive long in a new administration. There will be continuity in military advice, given that Gen. Joe Dunford and Gen. Paul

“

The first reality check for a new president will be the Pentagon. This generation of military leaders has been through traumatic wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. … If you want to hear arguments against deploying a big U.S. ground force in Syria, just ask a general.” Selva likely will remain into 2017 as chairman and vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, respectively. A new roster of combatant commanders, including the CENTCOM chief who will oversee the Middle East, will be appointed by Obama before he leaves office. My guess is that before Obama departs, he will adopt some of the more aggressive military options he has been resisting, such as “safe zones” inside Syria and more aggressive deployment of U.S. special forces. That’s partly because the U.S. is likely to face more jihadist-inspired terror attacks in 2016 — increasing

public pressure on the president to retaliate. A weak White House response, among other things, would undermine the Democratic candidate’s chances. If the U.S. may be compelled by circumstances to escalate its tactics against the Islamic State, there’s an argument for doing so sooner rather than later — so as to maintain better control of American military actions and not be forced by a panicky public into overreaction. The next president will also want to control options after the inauguration rather than be a prisoner of events — adding to the likelihood of early requests to the Pentagon for new military options. The Middle East will remain a military muddle for the next president, as it has so often been for the last two. But in dealing with China and Russia, the next administration will have clearer choices about projecting military power. The next White House will also face less resistance on these fronts from military commanders, who are wellschooled in the Russian and Chinese threats and believe they have the military tools needed to confront them. To contain Russia, the next administration will probably examine whether to deploy U.S. forces in Eastern Europe, as a tripwire against Moscow’s aggression. That move would likely have Pentagon support. The military would also welcome more active moves to contain China’s actions in the South China Sea, including closer cooperation with

allies such as Japan and the Philippines, which are bolstering their own defenses. The trickiest military questions for the next president will involve what strategist Michael Mazarr calls “grayzone conflicts.” In a recent article published by the U.S. Army War College, Mazarr argues that China, Russia and Iran have been using these “gray” strategies to frustrate U.S. goals without openly committing military force. U.S. adversaries exploit power gaps. It’s easier for Russia to invade Ukraine with irregular forces out of uniform, the so-called “little green men,” than to send a conventional army that would challenge NATO. It’s easier for China to assert its maritime power by creating artificial islands in the South China Sea than by defying the U.S. Pacific Fleet with an aircraft carrier. It’s easier for Iran to send Lebanese and Iraqi Shiite militias to Syria than to commit its own military directly. The Pentagon mostly buys weapons for blackand-white conflicts, rather than gray ones. So it isn’t well-prepared for such “hybrid” approaches. Campaign rhetoric about more military spending and a tougher defense posture could deepen this problem — if it simply leads the next president to bolster existing forces. A genuinely assertive strategy would create new tools that can function better in the gray of future conflict. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Reporters must check political ‘facts’ first By Martin Schram Tribune News Service

Today, we are marking the official start of the 2016 election year by providing a list of vital New Year’s resolutions for my colleagues in the political news media. The good news is we won’t be wasting anyone’s valuable time — our list has just one item. We have assembled this sufficiently extensive list after watching a preliminary year in which candidates campaigned primarily by bombarding voters with biglie politics — and primarily got away with it. Media factcheckers figure this way-tooearly campaign has already set new lows for distortions and false statements. All candidates, Democrats as well as Republicans, have bent the truth one way or another. But one Republican clearly dominated the Grand Old Party’s pandering pack that has been telling fed-up voters what they want to hear without regard to accuracy or veracity. Republican front-runner Donald Trump has wooed conservatives by stretching the truth liberally. Also by seemingly making up whatever facts best fit his sales pitch. And he has gotten wall-to-wall coverage on all-news cable channels, broadcast news, dead-tree print, and seemingly every website and blog. News execs were quick to figure out they could lure eyeballs (see also: advertisers) by skewing coverage toward allTrump, all-the-time. A campaign news coverage pattern emerged: Trump would make one false or distorted claim after another in prime-time debates or events — and they’d be heard and read by millions who wanted to believe. Later — often days later — fact-checkers at leading media outlets would discover Trump’s facts were wrong. Sometimes a separate factcheck story would appear, buried on an inside page or in a campaign news roundup, where thousands would

“

So now we come to our one 2016 resolution for my campaign-covering colleagues: Get it right the first time. This isn’t easy, but it’s vital.”

hear or see it, far fewer than the millions who heard the original report. No wonder Trump figured out campaigning with cons and falsehoods was his key to winning. So now we come to our one 2016 resolution for my campaign-covering colleagues: Get it right the first time. This isn’t easy, but it’s vital. News organizations need to assign reporters who are experts on the key beats being debated (economics, national security and so on) to cover debates and speeches, not generalists who mainly cover the political horse race. And here’s a corollary: If a news organization discovers belatedly that its original coverage included a prominent quote that later proved false, the editors and TV news deciders are obligated to put the facts out there for people to see by playing them as prominently as the original false

statements were played. Page 1, prime time. The Pulitzer Prize-winning site PolitiFact, created by Bill Adair for what was is now the Tampa Bay Times, has checked 77 of Trump’s most prominent campaign assertions and found that 76 percent of those statements were either “mostly false,” “false,” or merited the “pants on fire” designation reserved for the most flagrantly false statements. (Note: I originally urged my friend Adair to start his fact-check effort years ago; but I’ve always felt it was a mistake to use a humorous term for the most blatant lies; I think deceiving voters merits straight reporting and voter condemnation, not mirthful mockery.) Trump’s long list of voter-deceiving claims that proved flagrantly false included: his claim that he saw “thousands and thousands” of people cheering as the World Trade Center towers fell in 2001 and that the Mexican government was encouraging its criminals to enter the United States illegally. And some of Trump’s false claims were dangerously inflammatory, as they pandered to people’s worst instincts and hatreds. Trump once

shared an image on Twitter that falsely claimed that, of white homicide victims in the United States, 16 percent are killed by whites but 81 percent were killed by blacks. PolitiFact reported the correct number is quite the opposite — 82 percent of white victims were killed by whites in 2014; just 15 percent of whites were killed by blacks. Trump is running for president with the same verve he favored to close all his business deals. In his 1987 book, “The Art of the Deal,” Trump wrote, “People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts … I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion.” But the Manhattan multibillionaire would do well to heed the wisdom that is famously attributed to his own former senator, the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, DN.Y.: “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.” — Martin Schram, an op-ed columnist for Tribune News Service, is a veteran Washington journalist, author and TV documentary executive.

Providence police feel Ferguson aftershocks Amid cop vs. citizen conflict, officers grow uncertain about how to do their jobs Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

PROVIDENCE , R . I .

At daily roll calls, where cops have always assembled for amiable operational briefings, there are now uncomfortable questions. The inquiries come, Providence Police Chief Hugh Clements said, from officers increasingly worried that doing their jobs may turn them into the next YouTube sensation, depicting yet another highly charged encounter between citizen and cop. On the streets, where Maj. Tom Verdi spent the early days of his nearly three decades on the force, the respectful nods of acknowledgment have been replaced with some “hostile” stares. Within the ethnically mixed South Side, Lt. Henry Remolina said, the blackand-white uniform often renders him a stranger in the very neighborhood where he grew up. There is no tying the tension to any specific confrontation gone bad. No shooting, no beating captured on video. Rather, it is akin, law enforcement officials and community leaders said, to a powerful aftershock that has reignited long-unresolved social grievances in Providence and in other cities across the country af-

Swollen Mississippi crests in Missouri, targets the South Water tops 9 levees; St. Louis area takes the brunt of flooding

Workers from the Missouri Department of Transportation attempt to pump water off Interstate 55 near Arnold, Mo., on New Year’s Eve. Flooding from the nearby Meramec River, a tributary of the Mississippi River, flooded the highway.

Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

Rising water on the Mississippi River and its tributaries, which forced the shutdown of a second major Interstate near St. Louis, rushed southward Thursday, forcing communities in southern Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee and Mississippi to brace for a watery weekend onslaught. Officials shut down Interstate 55 south of St. Louis on Thursday morning as water from the Meramec River poured onto the roadway. The Meramec had already forced the shutdown of a 24-mile section of I-44, which radiates to the southwest out of St. Louis, which caused havoc for commuters and truck transports. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Wednesday that water had topped nine levees. Most of those earthen barriers are meant to protect farmland rather than populated areas, and one of the

failed levees was along now-deserted, manmade Chouteau Island near St. Louis on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River. Officials helped residents get to higher ground as swollen rivers and streams pushed to heights not seen in nearly a quarter-century. The Weather Channel called the situation a “slow-motion

disaster” as the swollen rivers make their way to the Gulf. At least 22 people have died in Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas and Oklahoma in the recent flooding, most of them swept away in vehicles while trying to get through high water. Among disrupted services: uEnbridge was forced to shut

down its Ozark pipelines, which transport oil from Oklahoma to a refinery in Illinois. uUnion Pacific has two sections of track in Missouri and two in Illinois out of service because of rising waters. uHigh water in the St. Louis area forced a sewage treatment plant in Valley Park to shut down.

Migrant deaths in Mediterranean hit a record in 2015 Toll part of Europe’s huge refugee crisis Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

The death toll of refugees and other migrants making the perilous journey across the Mediterranean Sea in 2015 rose to a record 3,771, the International Organization for Migration said Thursday. That number compares with an estimated 3,270 people who died in the Mediterranean while trying to reach Europe from North AfriLONDON

ca in 2014, the agency said. Many were fleeing conflicts in Somalia, Eritrea and elsewhere. April was the deadliest month for migrants on the Mediterranean in 2015. Nearly 1,250 died, including an estimated 800 in a single incident when a vessel capsized off the Libyan coast. The IOM said that was the deadliest incident involving migrants on the Mediterranean to date. Globally, more than 5,350 migrants died in 2015, including at least 800 in Southeast Asia, mostly at sea, according to IOM estimates. At least 330 migrants died in Mexico and along the country’s border with the United States

during the year, the Geneva-based organization said. The year marked Europe’s worst refugee crisis since World War II, as 1 million migrants arrived in Germany, many fleeing Syria’s nearly 5-year-old civil war. Others fled wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The figure includes people migrating from Balkan countries in Europe, such as Albania and Serbia. German Chancellor Angela Merkel planned to urge her citizens in her New Year’s Eve address to stand in solidarity with refugees in 2016. According to an excerpt from an advance copy of Merkel’s

speech carried by the German news agency DPA, she planned to say: “It is important that we not let ourselves be divided — not among generations, and not among those who have been here a long time and those who are new citizens.” She also planned to urge Germans not to follow “those with coldness or even hate in the hearts, and claim the right to be called German for themselves alone while seeking to exclude others.” The IOM said last week that the number of migrants entering Europe in 2015 was more than a fourfold increase from 2014.

Japan holidays echo U.S. — with a twist Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

TOKYO Whenever the holidays roll around here, I’m reminded of what the great philosopher Rocky Balboa said to Adrian on the fourth Thursday in November: “Yeah, to you it’s Thanksgiving; to me it’s Thursday.” The Japanese celebrate many of the same holidays that we do in the United States. But like most things in Japan, it’s not quite the same. Christmas is a major event, with gift shopping, decorations and holiday jingles in all the malls and restaurants. Every kid knows about Santa Claus. But Christmas is not an official holiday; it’s a workday. Christmas Eve is the time to celebrate. That’s when young couples go out for a romantic date or families gather for a traditional Christmas dinner of — believe it or not — Kentucky Fried Chicken. It seems a clever marketing team back in the 1970s drew a likeness between Colonel Sanders and Santa Claus: white hair, suits with red and white, vaguely similar names. At a time when

THE ASAHI SHIMBUN

Christmas cake debuted in 1910. Now shops overflow with the sweet treat. Japan was emerging from its postwar shell, it wasn’t hard to sell the notion that fried chicken was traditional Christmas fare in the West; to eat anything else was to miss out on all the fun. Nowadays, you have to place your order at KFC days, even weeks, in advance if you don’t want to spend Christmas Eve standing in line. “Christmas cake” is a similar story. The Fujiya bakery company claims credit for creating a Christmas-themed cake as early as 1910. Now, shops overflow every Christmas with variations of

sponge cake layered with whipped cream and white frosting and topped with fresh, picture-perfect strawberries for that red-and-white holiday look. In the ritzy Ginza district, department stores sell Christmas cakes for as much as $400 each, though the $12 offerings at our local supermarket are pretty awesome. There’s even a butter shortage every autumn as housewives and commercial bakeries compete for ingredients. As with fried chicken, it’s widely assumed that Christmas cake is part of an authentic

Western experience. I felt terrible when I informed my Japanese wife otherwise: “No, Hiromi, there is no Christmas cake in America.” Grinch. The most important holiday in Japan is New Year’s. It’s called shōgatsu, and for most Japanese lasts from Dec. 28 to Jan. 3. At least a couple of those days are devoted to a frenzy of housecleaning known as ōsōji and untold hours ordering and addressing New Year’s Day postcards, or nengajo. As in America, young Japanese party ’til late on New Year’s Eve and crowds gather at midnight to watch the digital countdown at Tokyo Tower, Japan’s answer to the ball dropping at Times Square. More traditional Japanese gather at temples, where bells are sounded 108 times, representing the cleansing of 108 worldly passions (anger, desire, envy and a bunch of others). The last occurs at exactly midnight. For those who skipped the nocturnal events, New Year’s morning usually is devoted to a visit to a shrine or temple, known as hatsumode, or first visit of the year. The rest of the day is devoted to eating and watching TV with family and friends. If that last bit sounds familiar — it isn’t, really. While guac and chips will do for most Ameri-

cans, Japanese feast on osechi. These are elaborate boxed meals that include all kinds of traditional Japanese food: dried fish, boiled shrimp, seaweed, fish eggs, black soybeans, rice cakes. It dates to the period when families organized food that wouldn’t spoil so Mom would have one day a year when she didn’t have to cook. While Americans zone out with college football bowl games, the Japanese are riveted to the day-long “Red and White Song Battle” music contest that dates to the radio days of the 1950s. There are sports, too. The annual Tokyo-Hakone college relay race draws more than a million spectators and a national TV audience. The annual Rice Bowl features the top college and semi-pro teams. I like osechi food, I appreciate the earnestness of the Japanese runners and ballplayers, and I even find the music competition to have a certain charm. But I confess that I miss the American tradition of pigging out on gauc and chips and zoning out on an orgy of bowl games. So if friends and relatives back home ask if I have plans for New Year’s, I’ll just tell them: “No, to you it’s New Year’s; to me it’s Friday.” Spitzer reports on Japan for USA TODAY.

Shake-up for Carson: Three top aides resign

Retired neurosurgeon has fallen in Iowa polls Jennifer Jacobs

The Des Moines Register

Three of Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson’s top aides resigned Thursday, causing a shake-up in the campaign just a month out from the nation’s first voting in the Iowa caucuses. Sources told The Des Moines Register on Thursday that Carson’s campaign manager, Barry Bennett, and communications director, Doug Watts, gave Carson their notice. Watts confirmed the news in a statement to the Register: “Yes, Barry Bennett and I have resigned from the Carson campaign effective immediately. We respect the candidate and we have enjoyed helping him go from far back in the field to top-tier status. Having just announced raising $23 million for the fourth quarter, more than any other Republican candidate, and passing one million contributions and over 600 million unique donors. Since March, we are proud of our efforts for Dr. Carson and we wish him and his campaign the best of luck.” Later Thursday, deputy campaign manager Lisa Coen told the Register that she has resigned because of Bennett’s and Watts’ departures. “I am deeply concerned about the campaign’s ability to move forward successfully without them,” Coen said. She said she wishes Carson “all the best going forward.” Carson once led the polls in Iowa but has seen his popularity slide in the wake of questions about his foreign policy experience. The shake-up is likely to further disrupt the campaign’s equilibrium just as it was about to launch its final 30-day strategy plan before the Feb. 1 caucuses. Bennett and Watts had been planning to move to Iowa during the final weeks before the Iowa caucuses, along with about 20

other campaign staffers and hundreds of mostly college-aged volunteers. Ryan Rhodes, Carson’s Iowa campaign director, said the volunteers will still be pouring into Iowa to campaign for Carson in the final month. “I’m excited for January,” Rhodes told the Register. “Ben Carson has personally guaranteed me the campaign will have the resources to be successful in Iowa.” Carson’s national senior strategist, Ed Brookover, is the new campaign manager, replacing Bennett, aides said.

CLIFF OWEN, AP

Ben Carson campaign manager Barry Bennett has quit.

Sources said Bennett and Watts quit because of tensions with Armstrong Williams, a conservative radio personality and longtime friend of Carson’s who has been advising him in an unpaid role. Williams has described himself as Carson’s business partner and a longtime friend. The two met in the 1990s when Williams interviewed Carson for a TV show, The Hill reported. CNN reported on some of the campaign’s infighting last month. Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, may have hit his summit in the polls in Iowa with 28% support in October. Since then, he has plunged 15 percentage points, according to an early December Iowa Poll of likely GOP caucusgoers.

ter the wave of civil unrest that swept through Ferguson, Albuquerque, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, North Charleston, S.C., and Staten Island, N.Y. In the past 16 months, the “Ferguson Effect” has become a staple in the American vernacular. Yet very few agree on what exactly that means and what it may portend for the relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve. In Chicago, roiled by the police shooting of a black teen, Mayor Rahm Emanuel suggested last year that the national backlash against allegations of police brutality after Ferguson had caused police to disengage, resulting in recent spikes in violent crime. FBI Director James Comey drew the ire of the White House in October when, like Emanuel, he proposed that recent surges in violence may be explained by “a chill wind that has blown through law enforcement.” Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn recently lamented that law enforcement had all but been abandoned by the federal government, which has mounted more than 20 investigations of police operations since 2009, the most critical examination prompted by the shooting of a black teenager by a white police officer in Ferguson. If there is a common thread, it is a theme of law enforcement under siege where the smoke and embers of more than a year of civil unrest have ushered in an era of persistent suspicion. Clements, who began his career in Providence more than three decades ago as a patrolman before his appointment as chief in 2012, said the job has been transformed in recent months by new scrutiny, often rooted in events playing out far beyond his Rhode Island jurisdiction. “There is an uneasiness among the boots on the ground,” he said. “Everything we do now can be called into question. Everything is a delicate balance. ... This is a transformational time in law enforcement; I don’t think we know where it will end.” HEIGHTENED TENSION

Two months ago, Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland was sharing a stage with Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy in Washington, where a coalition of law enforcement officials touted a dramatic reversal in criminal justice strategy. The group, which had McCarthy in the vanguard, called for an end to mass incarceration and alternatives to mandatory minimum sentencing laws that have swept up scores of non-violent African-American offenders. “The goal is to fix the system,” McCarthy said. McCarthy will no longer be around to assist with the system’s repair. Last month, McClelland watched from afar as the Chicago superintendent was swept out of

Garry McCarthy, right, and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, left, announce the release of the controversial dashcam video. office in the storm that followed the release of another video showing the fatal shooting of a black teenager by a white officer. A police dashcam video showed Laquan McDonald, 17, crumpling on a street in 2014 after being shot 16 times by officer Jason Van Dyke, who has since been charged with first-degree murder. The video and McCarthy’s ouster sent a new shiver through the ranks of law enforcement across the country, which has been reeling since August 2014’s eruption in Ferguson. “I’m very concerned we are being judged as an industry,” McClelland said. Demonstrators have called for Emanuel’s resignation, and the Justice Department opened an inquiry into the police department’s operations. McClelland said the McDonald video underscores a new normal for U.S. law enforcement. “One single incident — a whole career can be judged on that,” he said. McClelland, who is AfricanAmerican, said that in Ferguson’s aftermath Houston police have sought to expand their outreach to an increasingly diverse community in advance of any crisis. ‘SOUL-SEARCHING’

A measure of how deeply and broadly Ferguson and similar events have reshaped law enforcement’s relationships with communities may be the title of a continuing series of meetings — 1,133 miles from the Missouri town — between Providence police and a select number of religious and civic leaders. Beyond Ferguson set out last January on a singular but complex mission to “prevent another Ferguson,” said Joyce Penfield, pastor of St. Peter’s and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Providence. “We’ve been doing some soulsearching here,” Penfield said. “It’s about building trust across boundaries.” Last year, a retired Providence officer’s long-running gig as a dancing traffic cop during the holidays ended when he publicly objected to the treatment of a colleague when a Dunkin’ Donuts

employee scribbled #blacklivesmatter on a coffee cup before serving it to an on-duty officer. The mini-controversy highlighted anxieties brewing since Ferguson and perhaps before, leaders said. “What’s going on out in the country is scaring people,” Providence police Sgt. John Muriel said. “We’re human beings, but we’re held to a higher standard. And we should be because too many lives depend on what we do.” Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

WFAA-TV, Dallas-Fort Worth

The mother of the Texas teen known for his “affluenza” defense after he was given probation for killing four people in a 2013 drunken-driving crash has been charged with hindering apprehension after her return to the United States from Mexico. Tonya Couch, who with son Ethan was captured Monday in Puerto Vallarta, was deported Wednesday evening and booked into the Los Angeles County Jail. Her bond was set Thursday at $1 million.

She arrived at Los Angeles International Airport in the custody of U.S. Marshals. A Los Angeles police fugitive task force picked her up shortly after 1:30 a.m. and took her to the Metropolitan Detention Center, according to offi-

cer Norma Eisenman. Eisenman didn’t know why Couch came through Los Angeles or when she would be returned to Texas. U.S. Marshals Service spokesman Eugene Hwang said he could not reveal any details about her trip to California or say how long she might remain there, citing security concerns in transporting someone in custody. Ethan Couch, 18, remains in a Mexican jail after attorneys there filed paperwork Wednesday to try to fight extradition to the United States, according to the Tarrant County sheriff and district attorney.

“What would you do if you’re a parent who has a son who is the most hated boy in America?” Stephanie Patten, attorney representing Tonya Couch

gration Institute said Ethan Couch was granted a three-day court injunction. The injunction could lead to a weeks-long legal process if a judge decides Ethan Couch has grounds to challenge his deportation based on arguments that kicking him out of Mexico would violate his rights. Ethan Couch was transported late Wednesday from a detention

center in Guadalajara to one in Mexico City, an official with Mexico’s National Immigration Institute told the Associated Press. The decision to move him was made because the Mexico City facility is larger and better equipped to hold someone for days or weeks. Couch had been missing officially since Dec. 10 when he failed to show up for a meeting with his probation officer. However, Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson said Tuesday that he believed Couch, now 18, fled in late November with his mother after a video surfaced showing him at a party that included alcohol. Consuming alcohol would be a violation of the terms of his probation. Contributing: Todd Unger, Jim Douglas, Lauren Zakalik and Jordan Armstrong, WFAA-TV, Dallas-Fort Worth; AP.

Battered Russian ruble plunges amid oil price woes Crisis no longer seen as temporary or easily reversible Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

The beleaguered Russian ruble has plummeted to its lowest point in a year, hit hard by the persistent low price of oil exports and a Russian economy squeezed by Western economic sanctions. The national currency dropped to 73.2 to the dollar on Wednesday, the last day of trading for 2015. It lost 40% of its value last year and is down 20% compared with a year ago. The ruble’s troubles reflect an overall grim economic picture, with real wages down 9.2% over 2014 and the country locked in a steady bout of stagflation — GDP shrinking by 3.7% for 2015 and inflation at 15%. “We cannot say the peak of our problems has passed,” said Alexei Kudrin, a respected former fi-

nance minister who is rumored to be preparing to return to government, in an interview with Interfax, the Tass News Agency reports. “Some time ago, many experts, myself included, believed that we had reached the bottom. ... But today we see some further deterioration.” The troubling year-end picture, and the plunging oil prices at $37 a barrel, have prompted government officials to quietly drop their argument that the squeeze is only temporary and will change when the Saudi oil producers call it quits. “These stories have now stopped,” says Vadim Grishin, a senior adviser at the International Monetary Fund and a former senior economic adviser to the Russian government. “They have accepted the reality, which may be the major change.” The dire economic news, rising prices and falling wages, is rippling throughout the country. Russians who could have entertained a trip to Thailand or a week in Rome two years ago, no

longer have that luxury. Instead, if they are lucky, they can go to Armenia or Georgia. “It has dramatically limited the possibility of people to go abroad, or for vacation in general,” Grishin says. “Even standard tourists spots like Sochi are now too expensive for many.” And the insults keep piling up.

The sanctions have not only frozen financial relations in many sectors, it has undercut investment. The IMF has forecast that the flight of funds from Russia this year could amount to $100 billion.

Attention, procrastinators: If you’ve been putting off buying a new car and want to celebrate the new year with a snazzy set of wheels, Friday could be your day. A major auto-buying website is predicting that is the day that will offer the deepest discounts in a year. New Year’s Day will have let buyers reap an average discount of 8.6% off the retail price of a car, says TrueCar.com. On Saturday, the discount falls to 7.8% and on Sunday, 7.3%, says the website based on an analysis of 2010 to 2014 data from car-buying transactions.

Even though it’s the first day of 2016, Friday will still be counted as part of the long weekend for most automakers — so throw in end-of-the-year discounts, says Stacey Doyle, a senior auto industry analyst for TrueCar. The worst day to buy a car in the analysis is April 6 or May 14 in the heart of the spring car-buying season, both with average discounts of 5.9%. On a $35,000 car, the spread between the best and worst months can amount to a savings of more than $900. A TrueCar rival, Edmunds. com, says the last week of the year is typically the busiest at auto dealerships, partly because dealers are eager to clear out the previous year’s models. Buyers can save up to about 4 percentage points more on a 2015 model vs. a new one. Chevrolet, for instance, is offering up to $12,500 off 2015 Silverado pickups.

IN BRIEF FEDS: MAN LINKED TO ISIL PLANNED DEC. 31 BAR ATTACK

A New York man accused of being an Islamic State sympathizer planned to kill citizens at a restaurant/bar in Rochester, N.Y., on New Year’s Eve, federal authorities allege. Emanuel Lutchman, 25, of Rochester, is charged with providing material support to the Islamic State, the terrorist organization also known as ISIS or ISIL. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. A Muslim convert, Lutchman allegedly wanted to kill the patrons of a bar on New Year’s Eve. Lutchman wanted to prove that he was worthy of Islamic State participation and, with an FBI informant, bought a machete, ski masks, zip ties, knives and duct tape at a Walmart, according to an affidavit from FBI

SUSPECT IN PARIS ATTACKS ARRESTED AND CHARGED

NIGEL RODDIS, GETTY IMAGES

Canoeists check out flooded buildings in York, England, on Thursday. Many homes remained flooded and without power after Storm Frank battered northern Britain.

A 10th person arrested in connection with the terror attacks in Paris last month was charged on Thursday with terrorist murder and participation in activities of a terrorist group. The Belgian national identified only as Ayoub B., who was born in 1993, was detained Wednesday after police searched an address in the Brussels neighborhood of Molenbeek, where several of the attackers in the Nov. 13 assaults lived. A Belgian judge delivered an arrest warrant against him on Thursday and he was set to appear before another judge within the next five days. — Jane Onyanga-Omara

CHINA SAYS IT’S BUILDING SECOND AIRCRAFT CARRIER

China on Thursday confirmed that it is building its second aircraft carrier. Col. Yang Yujun, a spokesman from the Ministry of Defense, told reporters that the 50,000ton China-designed vessel is being constructed in the northern port of Dalian with domestic technology. “China has a long coastline and a vast maritime area under our jurisdiction,” Yang said, according to Reuters. “To safeguard our maritime sovereignty, interests and rights is the sacred mission of the Chinese armed forces.” Chinese media has published images appearing to show the development of the vessel. The country’s aircraft carrier program is a state secret. — Jane Onyanga-Omara

USA TODAY BEST PHOTOS OF 2015

JACK GRUBER, USA TODAY

Baltimore police barricade streets one day after rioting followed the death and funeral of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who died in police custody.

hey are images that unsettled, struck at our core or gave us pause. Some provided chills, others thrills. Some made us smile, do end-zone dances or clap like crazy. The April death of a 25-year-old AfricanAmerican man who fell into a coma while being transported in a police van in Baltimore sparked riots in the city and became another sad symbol in the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Vice President Biden grappled with his latest tragedy when he lost his oldest son, Beau, to brain cancer in May. In October, Biden abruptly announced he would not seek a run for the presidency. In September, Viola Davis became the first black woman to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama. Davis gave an acceptance speech that shook the rafters. The New England Patriots shook off Deflategate to beat the Seattle Seahawks for their fourth Super Bowl crown in February. And in our little corner of a publishing world dominated by digital, USA TODAY went back to the future — with a print newspaper. The Oct. 22, 2015, edition — the same one that Marty McFly picked up in the 1989 movie Back to the Future — was all the buzz at newsstands and on the Internet. These are the compelling photos that told the story of 2015 as selected by USA TODAY.

s the year winds to a close, it’s not too early to consider some of the biggest sales rivalries in the auto industry. Who’s up and who’s down, compared to their rivals. It’s more than automakers who care about the sales stats. Some owners clubs and others take great pride in knowing their model came out on top. But 2015 was a topsy-turvy year. Buyers moved to SUVs over cars in droves, lured by low gas prices and craving more space and practicality. Lots of new models were introduced, and new models tend to be the hottest sellers. Here’s how the top rivalries are shaping up, as reported by Autodata. Full-year sales statistics due to be reported next week:

HONDA ACCORD VS. TOYOTA CAMRY

No two brands like to fight it out more than Toyota and Honda when it comes to midsize sedan supremacy, but with the focus on SUVs last year, it probably doesn’t mean as much. Toyota easily bested Honda. Toyota sold 392,056 Camrys, down 1.2%, through the first 11 months, compared to 320,501 Accords, down 10.2%.

Camaro sales slid 9.5% with the aging model due for replacement. Even Dodge, having garnered a lot of attention for the 707horsepower Hellcat engine in the Challenger, almost overtook it, selling 61,621 Challengers. Now a newer, more nimble Camaro is on the way. After last year’s blowout, General Motors may view it as a chance to take back the sales crown. But it will have to go a long ways to do it.

COMPACT CROSSOVERS HONDA CR-V VS. TOYOTA RAV4 VS. FORD ESCAPE

No segment has been hotter in the auto industry than small crossovers, and Honda came out the winner. It sold 314,462 of its CR-Vs through the first 11 months of the year, up 3.9%. Those sales might have been higher if Honda hadn’t slotted another, smaller SUV under the CR-V, the new HR-V. The real fight is for second place.

The best — and worst — stocks of 2015 Even with a flat market overall, there were clear winners Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Video-streaming service Netflix and online retail juggernaut Amazon, two of the beloved “FANG” stocks, were the No. 1 and No. 2 peforming stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index in 2015, with oil play Chesapeake Energy finishing dead last. It was a hit-or-miss year on Wall Street. While the broad Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index basically posted a flat performance this year, there were big winners — and big losers. Let’s start with the three big winners of 2015. 1. Netflix. The video-streaming stock was up 134.4% through Thursday, bolstered by original programming, cheaper pricing than traditional cable networks and the “cord-cutting” trend in which cable subscribers are trimming or eliminating their service completely in favor of digital upstarts like Netflix. 2. Amazon. CEO Jeff Bezos’ stock climbed 117.8% last year, as the e-commerce giant, which had a very strong holiday-shopping season, gets even more gigantic. The stock is being driven by Amazon’s Prime membership, which offers two-day shipping for a $99 annual fee, as well as its reputation as the go-to online retail outlet. 3. Activision Blizzard. The pure-play online gaming stock was up 92.1% last year, topping the 48.1% gain of competitor Electronic Arts. Activision is the maker of Call of Duty: Black Opps III. Now, let’s pivot to the three big losers in 2015. (Hint: the bottom three storylines have a lot to do with the price of a barrel of U.S. crude plunging more than 30% last year.) 1. Chesapeake Energy. The oil-and-gas producer, down 77% last year through Thursday, has been decimated by the horrific bear market in the oil patch. The stock had its worst year since 1998, according to Bloomberg. The company has been forced to slash its drilling budgets, halt its dividend payouts, and lay off a big chunk of its workforce. 2. CONSOL Energy. Down 76.6% last year, the oil and gas exploration company -- and coalmining outfit -- has delivered a lump of coal in investors’ portfolio stocking. The oil rout hasn’t helped, nor has the ongoing shift away from coal to cleaner fuels such as natural gas. 3. Southwestern Energy. Another victim of the ongoing rout in oil, the oil and gas company was down 74% in 2015.

8 CEOs scored $60B on 2015 stock holdings Matt Krantz USA TODAY

Stop complaining about how lousy the stock market was last year. It was great — to the tune of $60 billion — for titans in the right industries. Eight CEOs of companies in the Russell 1000 index, including Jeff Bezos of online retailer Amazon.com (AMZN), Mark Zuckerberg of social media giant Facebook (FB) and Larry Page of online advertising firm Alphabet (GOOGL), generated a massive $60 billion score last year from their stock holdings, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. Each of these CEOs made $500 million or much more — individually — from their holdings last year. It was a ho-hum year for most investors — as the Standard & Poor’s 500 index inched up just

1%. Even famed investor Warren Buffett suffered a mighty multibillion-dollar loss on his holdings in Berkshire Hathaway. But that boring exterior of the market has masked what was a banner year for the ages for captains of companies in the right industries. Three of the companies with the best performance were in the technology sector and another three were sellers of consumer discretionary items. The biggest winner by far was Bezos. The CEO of Amazon.com, a retailer using technology to upend the entire industry, scored a massive $32 billion haul last year. That’s right — just one CEO claimed more than half of the total score hauled in by these eight top-winning CEOs. But that’s what happens when you have a CEO who owns 18% of a company that’s now worth $325 billion after a 124% rise of the stock. Another huge winner was a

$12.5 billion in wealth last year due to the stock’s 38% increase. Zuckerberg, who owns 15% of

Facebook, continues to be the single largest owner of Facebook stock. Alphabet, the company formerly known as Google, had an even better year than Facebook in terms of stock-price performance with a 50% rise. The year’s stockprice rise translated into a nice $11.7 billion gain for CEO Page. Don’t feel too bad for Page, though, as he trailed Zuckerberg’s stock-market take. Keep in mind Alphabet co-founder Sergey Brin, while not a CEO, also owns more than 42 million shares of the company’s stock. That means Brin, president of Alphabet, scored $11.1 billion. That brings the year-to-date stock gains of the two “Google guys” to nearly $23 billion. For most investors — 2015 was about as ho-hum as it can get. But it was a heck of a year for CEOs who founded some of the nation’s most dominant companies.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USATODAY

Investors looking for a “fall guy” for the U.S. stock market’s sideways price action in 2015 need look no further than stocks in the battered energy sector. The energy sector was the worst-performing sector in the broad Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index in 2015, sporting a loss of nearly 24%, according to data from Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. The massive 30%-plus dive in the price of a barrel of U.S.-based crude — due to a global supply glut — was the main culprit, as it decimated the profits of companies in the oil patch. Plunging energy shares weighed on the S&P 500’s overall performance, with

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

the broad U.S. stock gauge ending the year down 0.7%. If the big energy losses were backed out of the S&P 500’s performance this year, the market would be up about 2.0%. The bulk of the energy sector’s declines have occurred since the start of July, with losses totaling nearly 39%. Not even a strong 8.0%-plus gain from the consumer discretionary sector, which is the topperforming S&P 500 sector in 2015, could offset the performance drag from energy. Overall, only four of the 10 major sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory in 2015. Six sectors ended in the red for the year, with losses ranging from about 2% for telecom services to the massive 24% decline in energy. The simple takeaway for 2015: The energy sector stalled out the entire U.S. stock market.

While polishing crystal ball, try to be farsighted Q: What stocks should I avoid in the new year? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: It’s the time of the year when investors reflect on all their mistakes — and setting out to avoid them in the future. Skipping bum stocks is on top of the list. Guessing what kinds of stocks will do best — or flame out — in any given year is difficult if not impossible. Even professional money managers have a difficult time trying to guess what types of stocks or asset classes to avoid in any given year. That’s where looking at the market with a more long-term perspective can help. If there’s a bum bet in stocks — on average over time — it’s exactly the kinds of stocks that many investors load up on: small growth stocks. The IFA U.S. Small Growth Index, which is loaded up with the smaller companies carrying the richest premium prices, has gained just 9% a year on average since 1928. That’s disappointing given that the Standard & Poor’s 500 index has done better with a 9.8% average annual gain. But what makes small-cap growth stocks a worse bet is that they’re riskier in addition to being poor performers. The IFA U.S. Small Growth Index has been 30% riskier than the S&P 500. Greater risk and lower return — now that sounds like something to steer clear of in any year.

Weight Watchers shares balloon on the power of Oprah Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

Shares of Weight Watchers International (WTW) soared 26.6% during the last trading week, driven by the power of Oprah. The increase in value came as billionaire media star Oprah Winfrey, a major Weight Watchers investor and board member, tweeted an invitation asking her legions of Twitter followers to “come join me,” just as many Americans made traditional New Year’s resolutions to start dieting.

SCOTT BARBOUR, GETTY IMAGES

“Are you ready?” asked Winfrey, premiering a Weight Watchers campaign. “Let’s do this (shed pounds) together.”

“Are you ready?” asked Winfrey, premiering a campaign touting the company’s efforts to help members shed unwanted pounds. “Let’s do this together.” Weight Watchers shares closed down 1.08% at $22.80 at the holiday-abbreviated end of the trading week Thursday, up from the $18.00 close on Christmas Eve. But the decline nibbled away little of the four-day overall gain. The week’s rise offered new evidence of Winfrey’s international influence as she tries to lift the struggling 53-year-old New York City company by mixing star power with an emotional en-

dorsement of reaching health goals. In October, she spent $43.2 million to take a 10% stake in Weight Watchers and join the company’s board of directors. Winfrey later boosted the stake to nearly 15%, including options. Investors sent the company’s shares up 105% overnight after her investment was disclosed, providing a $70 million one-day paper gain for Winfrey. Coinciding with her investment, Weight Watchers announced it would expand its traditional focus on dieting and weight loss to include a broader

emphasis on healthy living. The change seemed clear in the new video clip. “Inside every overweight woman is a woman she knows she can be,” said Winfrey, 61, who famously has shared her personal battle of the bulge with fans. “If not now, when?” The company’s stock went through ups and downs in the months after Winfrey’s investment, and reached a $26.61 a share peak on Nov. 18. Overall, Weight Watchers ended down 8.21% for the year. Weight Watchers shares are now up 235.8% since she bought in. Sweet.

Bill Cosby’s lawyer said Thursday there would be no plea agreement stemming from the comedian’s sexual-assault charge. “My client is not guilty, and there will be no consideration on our part of any sort of arrangement,” Monique Pressley, one of Cosby’s lawyers and spokeswoman for his legal team, said on the ‘Today’ show. She also said he’s been “unjustly accused,” that he is the victim of “a game of political football,” referencing the local district attorney who campaigned in part on a promise to revisit the 2004 case. Cosby is currently out on a $1 million bond.

Gathers’ strength Clemson shuts down Sooners, 37-17 KU’s next challenge By Steven Wine

AP Sports Writer

One of the cooler aspects of the Big 12 featuring even more loaded teams than usual is that it presents 11-time-defending league champion Kansas University with a legitimate problem nearly every night. Saturday’s puzzle to solve: How to defend Rico Gathers, Baylor’s 6-foot-8, 275-pound block of power and underrated skill. Gathers averages 14.1 points and 11 rebounds per game. He has an abundance of one quality the Kansas frontcourt lacks: Brute strength. UC Irvine’s 7-6 Mamadou Ndiaye presented a different sort of challenge, but one that also tested the strength of KU’s frontcourt players. Gathers is a better basketball player even if he is nearly a foot shorter. “Rico, he’s an athlete,” Kansas coach Bill Self said Thursday. “I mean, he’s a guy, you know, you think that would be an NFL tight end. Great hands and is active and can move around and can run. I mean, he’s a real athlete, where Mamadou, not taking anything away from him athletically, but he couldn’t move like Rico. ... There’s few guys in college basketball if any that rebound like Rico.” Kansas will find a way to defend Gathers without giving the assignment to Perry Ellis. Why putting Ellis in foul trouble or exhausting him to the point he’s not effective at the other end? Ellis’ passing, driving, shooting and finishing after receiving passes from the short corner on cuts to the hoop make him an ideal candidate to play in the middle of KU’s offense when Baylor plays zone, so the senior forward is an even bigger key to KU’s success than usual. So Kansas will hope that a combination of Landen Lucas’ strength, Hunter Mickelson’s length and Jamari Traylor’s pesky energy will give Gathers enough different looks to keep him from dominating in the paint. Kansas won all three games vs. Baylor last season by an average margin of seven points. Gathers averaged 12.7 points and 11.7 rebounds against the Jayhawks. Nice numbers. For Kansas, strength in numbers will come in the form of multiple bodies. “Kansas has more big guys that they can throw at our big guys,” UC Irvine coach Russell Turner said after his team lost by 25 points in Allen Fieldouse. “I think that that wore us down, which is good strategy for a team that has the type of depth Kansas has. Not many have that.” True. Not even in the Big 12, which so far has been the nation’s deepest college basketball conference. — Sports editor Tom Keegan appears on The Drive every Sunday night on WIBW-TV.

Miami Gardens, Fla. — The Oklahoma Sooners were fooled by a fake punt and stuffed on fourth down when they tried some trickery of their own. And in the second half, Clemson was simply the stronger team. High-scoring Oklahoma and quarterback Baker Mayfield were shut out in the second half Thursday and lost to Clemson in the Orange Bowl national semifinal game, 3717. For the second year in a row, the Sooners (11-2) ended their season with a loss to Clemson. They were embarrassed 40-6 by the Tigers last year in the Russell Athletic Bowl. “This championship drive, talent doesn’t win the game,” defensive end Eric Striker said. “It’s the will. They had that edge and a will about them in the second half.” Mayfield threw for 311 yards but was sacked five times, and threw two inter-

He wobbled off the field after making a tackle following his second interception and spent the closing minutes on the sideline.

Matthew Romar, who had a handful of the quarterback’s jersey. In the third quarter, the Tigers really began to enforce their will. Zac Brooks had Tigers fans roaring when he ran over Sooners safety Ahmad Thomas on a sweep. Oklahoma running backs Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon were shaken up by jarring hits. Wayne Gallman knocked off Oklahoma safety Steven Parker’s helmet fighting for extra yardage. “They played a more physical way than we did,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. “We were outplayed badly in the second half.” The defeat was the Sooners’ first since they were beaten by rival Texas in October. Since then they had averaged 52 points a game. “There’s no doubt that we’ve been the more physical team now for about seven weeks in a row,” Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley said. “But we weren’t tonight.” Please see ORANGE, page 3C

Michigan State no match for Alabama By Ralph D. Russo AP College Football Writer

Arlington, Texas — Jake Coker played the game of his career, hooking up with Calvin Ridley for two touchdowns, as second-ranked Alabama aired it out to beat No. 3 Michigan State 38-0 Thursday night and advance to the national championship game. Alabama (13-1) will face No. 1 Clemson (14-0) on Jan. 11 in Arizona looking for its fourth national title in nine seasons under coach Nick Saban. The Tide looked like a team with no weaknesses against overmatched Michigan State (12-2). Coker, the promising Florida State transfer who sat the bench most of last season, was nearly perfect. The senior completed 25 for 30 for 286 yards. The freshman Ridley was brilliant, streaking by defenders on deep throws and outfighting them on jump balls. He caught eight passes for 138 yards.

ALABAMA RUNNING BACK DERRICK HENRY (2) CELEBRATES HIS TOUCHDOWN against Michigan State during the Cotton Bowl Thursday in Arlington, Texas. Alabama won, 38-0. times and allowed the Spartans only one trip into the red zone — which ended with Cyrus Jones intercepting a pass at the goal line. Jones added a high-stepping 57-yard punt return

touchdown for the Tide, which hardly even had to use Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry. The big tailback who has carried the Crimson Tide offense most of the season was mostly just

a role player against a Spartans defense stacked to stop him. He ran for 75 yards and scored two touchdowns. The last made it 38-0 halfway through the fourth quarter. The celebration at that point was pretty tame on the Alabama sideline. Henry got a chest pump from a lineman and some pats on the helmet before taking a seat next to a fan to cool off. He was done for the day as if it was a September game against one of those nonconference cupcakes. The ‘Bama fans were having fun, though, breaking out the “S-E-C!” chant and singing along to “Sweet Home Alabama” with that familiar “Rolll Tide Roll!” AT&T Stadium in North Texas — where Alabama started its season by blowing out a Big Ten team (Wisconsin) — had turned into Tuscaloosa west. The only team to make to the College Football Playoff each of its first two seasons will be playing in the final for the first time. Please see COTTON, page 3C

Kansas’ drive for a dozen starts Saturday By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s basketball players do not need to be reminded that on Saturday — when they tangle with Baylor in a 3 p.m., tip in Allen Fieldhouse — they begin defense of the program’s 11th straight Big 12 regularseason title. “It’s something always on our mind — 11 straight. It’s kind of you don’t want to be that team to break the streak,” said KU sophomore guard Devonté Graham. He’s 1-for-1 in Big 12 regular-season crowns, the 2014-

15 Jayhawks prevailing by a game over both Iowa State and Oklahoma. “We go out and play each game and hopefully it’ll take care of itself,” Graham said of taking No. 12 in a row. KU enters this season tied with Gonzaga for secondlongest run of conference championships in NCAA history. The Zags won 11 straight in West Coast Conference play from 2001-11. The Jayhawks are challenging UCLA, which won an all-time best 13 consecutive league titles in the Pac 10 from 1967 to 79. Amazingly, KU coach Bill

Self, who has 11 first-place finishes and one second at KU (to go with one national title and one runnerup finish), also won a league championship two of his three years at Illinois and two of three years at Tulsa. Self said pursuit of No. 12 in a row figures to be “fun” as well as a “grind.” “I think people around here probably assume, but let me tell you something ... you win the league three times in a row in the Big Ten, it’s not a big deal, it’s a huge deal. You have somebody else in our league (Big 12) win it two or three times

in a row, it’s a big deal,” Self said. “I think it’s taken for granted around here, which is rightfully so, because our guys have experienced quite a bit of success. It’s a big deal to these kids to win a ring every year. As fans and coaches we get spoiled, because ... stop and think about it. A lot of programs you win three or four championships in a row there’d been parades. We won two in a row at Illinois.

Atlanta (ap) — Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher tried to spin his team’s performance in the Peach Bowl as a strong effort with the wrong result. He couldn’t deny that the No. 9 Seminoles committed a season-high five turnovers and gave up a season-high in points in a 38-24 loss to Houston Thursday. “Our guys played hard, were ready to play and we wanted to play,” Fisher said. “We just didn’t play as well, and Houston did a really nice job.” Dalvin Cook rushed for a season-low 33 yards, injured quarterback Sean Maguire threw a career-high four interceptions and Florida State couldn’t slow down Houston’s offense. Kicker Roberto Aguayo had a rough day, too. He slipped while missing 52-yard fieldgoal attempt in the first quarter and errantly pooched a fourthquarter kickoff that led to the Cougars’ last TD. Cook, who set the school’s single-season rushing record this year, had the lowest output in his last 17 games. The sophomore also lost a second-quarter fumble that led to Houston’s

ers routed the Wildcats by 23 points and Virginia pulled away late in an 86-75 win. The Wildcats made 12 of 44 threes combined in those two games, a key reason they couldn’t hang with either team for long. Against Xavier, the Wildcats connected with ease, making 13 of 25 overall. Arcidiacono, a 37-percent three-point shooter, hit four in the first 8 minutes of the game for a 23-8 lead. When Arcidiacono finally missed one, Jalen Brunson swooped in for the offensive rebound and sank two free throws that stretched the lead to 19 points. The Wildcats made 15 of their first 19 shots overall from the floor. Brunson didn’t start because of a stomach virus, then made Xavier queasy with seven points in 7 minutes. He spent the morning at a hospital and needed intravenous fluids. Arcidiacono, Brunson’s roommate, joked he didn’t sleep much because Brunson was ill and vomited so much. Arcidiacono was wide awake on the floor, making 10 of 19 shots and fell just five points shy of matching his career high. “After I hit a couple, I did take a couple of crazy ones,” Arcidiacono said, smiling. “After I think I hit my third or fourth one ... I was just like, if this is my day, this is going to go in for me.” Hart, Villanova’s leading scorer with 14.8 points, didn’t attempt a shot in the first half. No worries, he still found his points. He scored a layup off a turnover to open the second half, buried a three, made a pair from the free-throw line and scored two more baskets for 13 points in just over 4 minutes.

No. 12 Providence 81, No. 9 Butler 73 Indianapolis — Rodney Bullock scored a career-high 25 points, Kris Dunn came close to a triple-double and Providence rallied to beat Butler in the Big East opener for both teams. Dunn had 20 points, seven rebounds and nine assists to help the Friars (13-1) to their seventh straight win. Kelan Martin led Butler (11-2) with 20 points, and Roosevelt Jones had 19. The Bulldogs had

won eight games in a row. The difference in the second half was Providence’s outside shooting. The Friars were 9 of 12 on three-pointers in the second half. The Friars charged back quickly from a 36-25 halftime deficit, using an 18-3 run to take a 47-43 lead. After Butler tied it at 59, Providence went on an 8-0 run to take a 67-59 lead and closed it out with a game-ending 7-2 spurt. A sellout crowd was revved up as it watched the Bulldogs seize control in the first half of only the second Top 15 matchup ever at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Butler rallied in the first one to beat Gonzaga on a buzzerbeater in January 2013. But Dunn and Bullock made sure this game didn’t end in the same, stunning fashion. Ben Bentil’s three with 13:48 left gave Providence the lead -- and the momentum it needed to fend off each Butler charge. The Bulldogs came back to tie the score three times, the last coming at 59. Providence with eight straight points, then allowed Butler to score seven straight right after Dunn went to the bench with his fourth foul. That made it 67-66 with 4:17 to play.

Boykin suspended San Antonio — Police charged star TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin with felony assault of a police officer stemming from a bar fight early Thursday and he was suspended for this weekend’s Alamo Bowl game against No. 15 Oregon. The decision by coach Gary Patterson effectively ends Boykin’s college career, since he is a senior. Patterson said Boykin and junior wide receiver Preston Miller were suspended for Saturday’s game due to a violation of team rules that he did not specify.

Villanova routs Xavier in Big East No. 16 Villanova 95, No. 6 Xavier 64 Villanova, Pa. — Ryan Arcidiacono clapped as he hustled back on defense after hitting another three-pointer that pushed the Big East opener toward a rout and got another packed Villanova crowd on its feet. The Wildcats were rolling and a message was sent to undefeated Xavier: Rankings and records aside, the road to a conference championship again goes through Villanova. Arcidiacono made seven three-pointers, scored 27 points and showed Villanova just may be the team to beat in the Big East, thumping Xavier. The two-time defending regular-season Big East championships and the 2015 tournament champs raced to a 20-point lead in the first half behind a three-point happy offense and ended the Musketeers’ (12-1, 0-1) undefeated season. “I think it’s too early to say who’s the team to beat in the Big East,” coach Jay Wright said. “This league is really good, man. Really good.” The Wildcats (11-2, 1-0) were simply great in the opener. Josh Hart scored the first 13 points of the second half for the Wildcats and had 15. James Farr led Xavier with 15 points. The Musketeers had a scare when freshman guard Edmond Sumner was taken off the court on a stretcher after a hard fall just minutes into the game. Coach Chris Mack said Sumner was “walking and talking” at a hospital. Villanova’s only two losses had come against Top 25 teams, falling to No. 3 Oklahoma and now-No. 5 Virginia. The Soon-

Clemson outscored Oklahoma 21-0 during a 15-minute span in the second half to take control of the game. The elusive Watson gave the Sooners fits and finished with 145 yards rushing. “We just didn’t tackle,” Striker said. “Guys were in position to make a play. That’s what hurt the most.” The Tigers (14-0) advance to the championship game Jan. 11, when they’ll face Alabama, a 38-0 winner over Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl. It was another December disappointment for Mayfield, who voiced his displeasure with not being invited to New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist. He finished behind Alabama’s Derrick Henry, Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey and Watson. He left without talking to reporters. Stoops said Clemson’s pass rush made Mayfield’s job difficult. “You have to compliment them giving him struggles,” Stoops said. “At times he was scrambling around and waiting for something to come open.” The Sooners led 7-3 and had Clemson pinned inside the 5 early in the second quarter, but on the first play Watson broke free on the readoption for 46 yards. Later on the same drive, a fake punt fooled the Sooners and turned the game around. Clemson’s Christian Wilkins, a 315-pound defensive

you 5,000 people were waiting for us at the airport when we got back after winning one in a row, just as many people after winning two in a row. “At Kansas, no disrespect, we get a T-shirt and if we’re lucky we get a hat. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s because it’s the norm, what is expected. Excellence is expected all the time. When you expect excellence all the time, there will be times you get shot down.” Locally, folks may have come to expect titles, since KU is the all-time leader in conference titles — 58 to Kentucky’s 52. Penn is third with 37. “I think nationally, it has not got the respect in a lot of ways that it deserves, but I also understand that that’s — what gets most of the attention now is what you do in the postseason, as opposed to regular season, and I understand that,” Self said. “But what these players have done over time, and with so many different combinations and all those things in what is arguably as good a league as there is in the country, is pretty remarkable. I’m real proud of it, but the whole thing is, this will be the hardest year probably to defend it. Last year was a monster year to defend it. But I really think that this year there’s more good teams our league has ever had, and when I say good teams, I mean teams that have a chance to be Final Four-type contenders.” Self credits his players and assistant coaches. As far as his role personally in the streak ... “The thing that probably gives me the most satisfaction is that faces have changed but expectations and results haven’t,” Self said. “The kids, regardless of who you lost (to NBA and graduation), it’s kind of ‘next man up’ and that mantra, they have delivered. I take great pride in the consistency, because it’s hard,” Self said. The team has been to one additional Final Four since winning the NCAA crown in 2008, continuing to win league crowns each and every year. “I remember, certainly, when we won it in 2008, I thought there would be no way that we would get complacent. But human nature just makes it that way. People are asking you to do fun things. Everybody’s patting you on the back. Instead of being in the gym a week after the season, now it’s three weeks after the season because you’re worn out from doing all the other stuff. It’s hard and now you understand why there’s not that many repeats at the professional level and things like

The Sooners trailed 23-17 when they were stopped on fourthand-1 at the Clemson 30. Perine took a direct snap, ran up the middle and was stuffed for no gain. That was Oklahoma’s last gasp — Clemson scored another TD four plays later. Parker was beaten on a short route by Hunter Renfrow and slipped to the turf, and the result was a 35-yard

Ali-Frazier fight to prepare for what it expected to be a 15-round heavyweight bout. Instead it was a TKO.

Last season the Crimson Tide couldn’t get past the semifinals, upset by Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl. Heading into another game as a big favorite against the Big Ten champions, the Tide players said all week that the focus was better and their attitude more serious. They talked about how some players were too concerned about where they would be drafted or partying on Bourbon Street. In chilly Dallas there was nothing to do but practice and that was fine by them. Michigan State embraced its role as the underdog and came in expecting to slug it out with the Tide and it smothering defense and hammering Heisman winner.

touchdown to put the Tigers up 30-17. Then came Mayfield’s interceptions. Clemson drove 66 yards in the final 1:34 of the half and had a third down at the 15 when Watson lofted a desperation pass into heavy coverage in the end zone, and Zack Sanchez intercepted. That allowed Oklahoma to retain a 17-16 lead at halftime. The Tigers took the kickoff to start the second half and marched 75 yards for a touchdown to take the lead for good. The Sooners came up two wins short in a bid for their eighth Associated Press national championship, and first since 2000. “Most everybody on the team is coming back, so this is the beginning of next year,” senior linebacker Frank Shannon said. “This team is probably going to take it all next year.”

ALABAMA DEFENSIVE LINEMAN JONATHAN ALLEN (93) SACKS MICHIGAN STATE QUARTERBACK CONNOR COOK (18) during the Crimson Tide’s 38-0 win in the Cotton Bowl Thursday in Arlington, Texas.

Fiesta Bowl chock-full of talent, intriguing matchup of tradition Glendale, Ariz. (ap) — Ohio State and Notre Dame entered the season with legitimate national championship hopes and were still in the mix for the College Football Playoff late in the year. To have those hopes dashed, particularly after coming so close, was a huge disappointment for both programs. It worked out pretty well for the Fiesta Bowl with a marquee matchup that’s as good as any outside of the three playoff games. And, despite falling short of their main objectives, the seventh-ranked Buckeyes and eighthranked Fighting Irish in-

sist they’re excited to be in the desert. “It’s going to be a great bowl game,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. “Two traditional powers, Notre Dame and Ohio State, that are a couple plays away from playing for a national championship. There is no place better than to play it than in Glendale.” Well, the Orange and Cotton bowls might be a little better, but these teams came up just short. Ohio State (11-1) was the defending national champion and spent the season’s first 10 weeks at No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 despite

inconsistent play by its quarterbacks. The Buckeyes were still in the coveted top four of the CFB rankings despite dropping behind Clemson in the poll, but lost to Michigan State on a last-second field goal in their penultimate game. All the teams ahead of them won on the final weekend, leaving them behind fellow one-loss teams Alabama, Oklahoma and Michigan State in the playoff pecking order. Ohio State finished No. 7 in the final CFB rankings. Notre Dame (10-2) fell four points short of its playoff bid despite a lita-

ny of injuries. The Fighting Irish were still in the playoff picture after a two-point loss to top-ranked Clemson on Oct. 3, but fell out after another two-point loss to Stanford on No. 28. Notre Dame finished No. 8 in the final CFP rankings. One big dream gone, but Notre Dame, like Ohio State, is not taking this game lightly. “I think every bowl game, it’s a playoff game now,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. “Somebody is going to finish fifth in the final polls. That’s a spring board for next year. These are important games.”

All-Time Most Conference Championships Kansas — 58 Kentucky — 52 Penn — 37 that,” Self stated. “Then you have rosters changing. I remember telling my assistants one time after that (’08), saying, ‘Hey, guys, I think I’m letting you down. I hope you guys are working harder than I am because I spend my whole day doing stuff that doesn’t have anything to do with winning.’ “Speaking engagements, appearances, opportunities to do certain things — you’re still getting up and you’re still going to the office for 12 hours a day — but you’re not working on things that have anything to do with winning. “I felt like, and I caught myself saying, ‘I’m falling into the same thing that I know everybody else says you fall into but nobody ever believes it.’ Fortunately for us, our players didn’t do it. “It would probably have been harder to have a great year after winning the national championship if all those kids returned. But all the starters are gone and now the new kids come in and now they have got to do what the other guys did, so there was an expectation level and they knew how hard they had to work to do it, so that was probably a blessing. At the time, we thought it was a curse. But the consistency is probably the thing that I’m most proud of.” The Jayhawks say they’re ready to get their run for 12 in a row under way. “I think we’re all excited — the fans, coaches players, everyone is excited to get this Big 12 Conference started the right way,” said junior guard Frank Mason III. “Hopefully we’ll get a win. I know we’ll be ready.” It doesn’t get any easier after Saturday. Oklahoma, currently ranked No. 3 in the country, will visit KU for an 8 p.m., tip Monday. “When you only have 10 teams and you play everybody twice, and you could have six or seven teams in the NCAA Tournament, you have to be your best every night, much like I think what you have to be in the NFL. In the NFL, if you don’t play well, you lose and I think it’s going to be that way in our league more so than ever,” said Self, whose Jayhawks enter the league campaign having won or shared 15 of the 19 Big 12 regularseason titles. “One thing that comes across through winning,” he said, “is how special it is and the more you get the more you want.”

NBA roundup The Associated Press

Warriors 114, Rockets 110 Houston — Klay Thompson scored 38 points and Golden State overcame star Stephen Curry’s absence to beat Houston on Thursday night. Golden State was blown out by Dallas on Wednesday night for just its second loss of the season when Curry missed his first game since March because of a sore left lower leg. But the Warriors were able to outlast the Rockets thanks to the big night by Thompson, who made six threes. Houston cut it to 3 with a jump shot by James Harden with about 5 minutes left before Golden State scored the next six points, highlighted by an alley-oop dunk from Andre Iguodala to Bogut, to make it 111-102. Harden had 30 points for the Rockets. They have dropped seven straight regular-season games to the Warriors. Shaun Livingston made his second start of the season in place of Curry, who was injured Monday night against Sacramento, and finished with 13 points. Interim coach Luke Walton said Curry was feeling better Thursday, but that he was not ready to play. Before he sat out Wednesday, last season’s MVP hadn’t missed a game since March 13. Draymond Green had 10 points and a careerhigh 16 assists for the Warriors. The Warriors led by eight entering the fourth quarter and had scored four straight points to extend their lead to 9987 with about nine minutes remaining. Houston used a 13-5 run after that to cut the lead to 104-100 with about 6 minutes left. Dwight Howard scored four points in that stretch and Harden capped it with a three-pointer. The game was tied after a three-pointer by Thompson with about 9 minutes left in the third quarter before Houston used a 6-2 run, capped by a dunk from Howard, to take a 74-70 lead midway through the quarter. Houston led by 3 points about 3 minutes later when Golden State scored 10 straight points to take a 88-80 lead with less than a minute left in the quarter. Thompson scored five points in that span and Iguodala added a three-pointer before James Michael McAdoo capped it with a dunk following a turnover by Ty Lawson.
