UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS GRADUATE AUSTIN BARONE gives a presentation about Just Play Sports Solutions, a business he co-founded while an undergraduate student at KU. He is pictured at a Pipeline Entrepreneurs event in January 2016.
KU grad’s startup making inroads in sports industry

‘‘
A year ago Austin Barone was catching his breath after a 21-hour semester, his last at the University of Kansas. Not wanting to miss out on sales opportunities, Barone crammed in enough credit hours to graduate in December 2015, freeing himself up to spend the following spring promoting his startup business. Heading into this year’s industry sales season — Barone leaves today for the American Football Coaches Association convention

‘‘
It took me about five minutes to figure out (international nonprofit Planet Aid) was a huge scam. I decided at that point to find out as much information as I could.”
By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com
In Lawrence, it is not hard to find the big, yellow drop boxes that the nonprofit organization Planet Aid uses to collect clothing and shoes that are recycled for charitable purposes. It may, however, be hard to find any area resident who knows more about the Planet Aid organization than Kris Alonge. From her home in tiny Reno — an unincorporated town between Lawrence and Tonganoxie — Alonge has worked for nearly nine years to expose Planet Aid as a fraud. Now, she’s getting some national recognition for her efforts.

BRIEFLY Airbus moves to new building at WSU Wichita (ap) — A European plane-maker that established a U.S. engineering outpost in Wichita 14 years ago has moved to a new building at Wichita State University. Airbus Americas Engineering’s final group of Wichita employees began working at the two-story, 90,000-square-foot building this week, the Wichita Eagle reported. Brandi Chandler, who coordinated the multistage move for Toulouse, France-based Airbus, said it began the first week of December and involved 300 employees. John O’Leary, vice president of Airbus Americas Engineering, said the transition “went extremely smooth.” The move not only was a means to consolidate its work from two buildings to one, but was also a way to be closer to the university’s new Innovation Campus, where there’s a pipeline for the company’s future workforce, O’Leary said. “It’s the long way of saying this move makes business sense for us,” he said. The Wichita office does wing design work on all Airbus commercial jetliners and houses a team of workers and engineers assigned to the company’s in-service repair and customer support.

Just Play is a softwareto-service platform offering digital coaching tools for football and basketball. It offers multiple features including a learning app to help players prepare for games. Barone said Just Play offers several different packages for different needs. Individual coaches can use it to build their own playbooks to keep throughout their careers, or teams can use it to help players learn plays and prepare for games, Barone said. He said Just Play also automates scouting reports for teams, with 300 custom stats for opponents at the Division 1 level or 75 stats for each player at the NAIA level, he said. Barone, formerly a kicker on the KU football team, got his degree in accounting, he said. He formally incorporated Just Play Sports Solutions in May 2014, and the company launched its first product in January 2015, during his junior year at KU. Barone said support from The Catalyst, KU’s student business accelerator, was a huge boost. Barone met his cofounder, Andy Wachter, through relatives. Wachter is a former web

developer who went to college in Kansas and now lives in New York. “At first, most definitely I was written off because I was a student,” Barone said. “I don’t think people realized how real our company is. Right now we have UCLA and Kansas in men’s basketball — they’re two top-five programs in Division I basketball.” Barone said Just Play now has football and basketball clients across the country from the high school level on up, including a WNBA team. He declined to say an exact number or name the WNBA team, citing business competition, but did say that other recognizable regional teams using Just Play products include the KU and Kansas State University women’s basketball teams. And, in what Barone called “a tremendous milestone” for his company, the NAIA announced in November that it signed a threeyear partnership making Just Play the “Official Playbook and Scouting Report Solution of
the NAIA.” Just Play is officially based in Lawrence, though Barone said the company is looking for an office space in the Kansas City area. He’s currently living in Westwood. He said Just Play has about nine people working for them in some capacity, either as employers or contractors, and is preparing to hire about three or four more. The company’s fourman board of advisers comprises Jonathan E. Baum, CEO of Kansas City-based investment banking firm George K. Baum & Company; Domonique Foxworth of ESPN’s “The Undefeated,” a former NFL defensive back who later graduated from Harvard Business School; KU graduate Brian McClendon, co-founder of Google Earth and now vice president of advanced technologies at Uber; and Wally Meyer, director of entrepreneurship programs at KU and a former business executive. Barone said there is competition in his field —
L awrence J ournal -W orld one of the “big guys” is a Chicago-based company with about 85 percent of the Division I basketball market, for example — but that he believes his product offers something unique. He said there aren’t as many companies “focusing on the player.” A lot of coaches out there are still using threering binders to organize plays and having everyone collectively meeting to watch film, “which is very, very out of date,” Barone said. The young men and women those people are coaching grew up learning — from grade school to college — on smartphones, tablets and apps, Barone said. He said Just Play offers features like incorporating existing web technology — such as Hudl, a big company that provides online game film for teams — and quickly creating digital quizzes to make sure players get the information. Just Play is a onestop-shop, he said. He said it saves coaches time and helps athletes learn and retain what they need to know when they take the court or field. “We want to focus on creating an interactive learning environment for the athlete,” he said. — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at 832-7187.

Nonprofit The reporting revealed the U.S. government has provided more than $130 million in grants to Planet Aid. Congresswoman Betty McCollum, D-Minn., has called for a federal investigation of the organization. In both Reveal reports, Alonge was cited as a “Kansas whistleblower” who has spent years filing Freedom of Information Act requests, meeting with FBI officials and lodging complaints with the IRS about the Planet Aid organization. “She was tireless in her efforts to get someone, anyone, to take notice,” a May 23 article in Reveal said of Alonge. It noted she called journalists in Denmark and Britain, where Planet Aid has its roots, and also called the IRS and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which has provided much of the federal grant money in question. Alonge, and now the Center for Investigative Reporting, say Planet Aid is just one part of a much larger Danish organization, which she likens to a cult, called the Teachers Group. The leader of the Teachers Group, Mogens Amdi Peterson, alongside four other associates are wanted by the International Criminal Police Organization, also known as Interpol, regarding accusations of fraud and tax evasion, The CIR reported. “Planet Aid is just one charity of several here in the U.S. run by that group,” Alonge said. “The clothing isn’t going to where you think it is. It’s going to support a massive, selfenclosed group and only a few pennies out of every dollar go to help one of the charities or activities. Money-wise, it’s not a wise decision.” Attempts to contact representatives for Planet Aid for this story were unsuccessful.

‘‘
The ball is rolling. I don’t have high hopes, though, because I’ve talked to a lot of officials and they’re just playing negligent.”
— Kris Alonge, who has worked for nearly 9 years trying to expose Planet Aid as a fraud
A self-described “ordinary person” and “housewife,” Alonge said she started looking into Planet Aid around 2008. At the time, Alonge said she was working part time and home schooling her daughter, who chose Planet Aid for an educational assignment to write about a charity. Helping her daughter with the assignment, Alonge said it didn’t take long to realize something was amiss. “It took me about five minutes to figure out it was a huge scam,” she said. “I decided at that point to find out as much information as I could.” Collecting and analyzing public information, including tax returns and nonprofit application documents, Alonge went to work. She found a number of discrepancies with Planet Aid and the organizations it does business with.
“One thing I noticed is two of their independent contractors had the same address,” she said. “I thought, ‘You don’t have the same address when you’re supposed to be competing.’” Most of the organizations are connected in one way or another, Alonge said. Planet Aid collects clothing and other items, sells them to a sibling organization and uses another related group to administer aid in lessfortunate countries and so on, she said. The money flows upward to the Teachers Group, and in the end the poor receive little to no substantial help, Alonge said. These days, Alonge said she probably spends an average of two hours a day researching. And so far the work has been an uphill battle, though there are some who have started to listen.
lll
A milestone in Alonge’s work came in August when Rep. McCollum called for a federal investigation into the funding provided to Planet Aid. Alonge called McCollum’s actions validating, but said there are others who have not acted on the same information she has seen. “She’s not the first one who has been made aware of this, but she was the first to stick her neck out and say ‘this is taxpayer money and I really want this money to be looked at,’” Alonge said. “It’s really a drop in the bucket; $130 million is just the amount we can track.” “The ball is rolling,” she added. “I don’t have high hopes, though, because I’ve talked to a lot of officials and they’re just playing negligent.” Not only is Planet Aid’s business model hurting those in need, but it’s taking contributions that might otherwise go to a smaller, local charity that does better work, Alonge said. Alonge said she’s in for the long haul, working either to put a stop to Planet Aid’s tactics or to see lawmakers
tighten their regulations on incoming nonprofits and how they’re regulated. These goals can be reached by working in tandem with lawmakers and raising awareness, she said. “You have to have cooperation with government officials; they’re the ones in charge and they can pull the registration from these groups based on the statutes, what’s written in their own laws,” she said. “If enough people start raising a voice, they’re going to listen.” In the meantime, Alonge said those who want to help the less fortunate are better served by donating to local charities. And while the fight continues, Alonge said if someone like her can make a dent in an international organization, then anyone can. “One person can make a difference if you keep going at it,” she said. “There’s no guarantee I’ll be successful, but, if I quit, then I know I won’t be successful.” — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284.

NEA grant to KU to help physically disabled play music Staff Reports
A group of University of Kansas professors has received a $35,000 grant to put on a symposium all about AUMI, the Adaptive Use Musical Instrument. KU announced the grant, from the National Endowment for the Arts, on Thursday. The AUMI is a computerized instrument that allows people — including those who are physically disabled with little or no voluntary movement — to make music. According to KU, AUMI software can be installed on any computer equipped with a camera. The camera captures body movement and triggers sounds ranging from bells to drums to synthesizer tones, with as little movement as a small tilt of the chin. Sherrie Tucker, KU professor of American studies, has written extensively about musical performance and worked with the AUMI for nine years, almost as long as it

LAWRENCE NATIVE LOGAN BROWN, A JUNIOR AT VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY in Nashville, Tenn., has authored a children’s book titled “Denali Dreams,” which tells an anti-tobacco story from a Native American perspective. She is pictured on Wednesday.
Anti-smoking children’s book has roots in Eudora Middle School DARE class By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com
Logan Brown has provided American Indian children a mountain of strength to combat the tobacco industry’s attempt to hook them. Brown, a graduate of Eudora Middle and Free State High schools and now a junior business major at Vanderbilt University, has authored the children’s book “Denali Dreams,” which shares a positive anti-smoking message with American Indian elementary students. The book was a product of Brown’s interest in writing and in fighting substance abuse.
“
I’m happy to help get good information out there. It’s a labor of love for me.”
— Logan Brown, native of Lawrence and author of “Denali Dreams” “I had the ideas for a long time,” she said. “I thought about the message I wanted to get across and did two different drafts. I combined them for the final draft.” In the book, Denali, an elementary school Alaskan native, uses the mountain for which she was named as inspiration to always work hard and not give up until she reaches her peak as a student and soccer player. With those goals, she has the strength
to reject a friend’s offer to share a cigarette, visualizing the damage it would do to her lungs. Brown, who is finishing a fellowship with the Truth Initiative Foundation, a nonprofit funded through the tobacco industry’s 1998 settlement with 46 states, said the book was printed through a partnership of the foundation, the Bureau of Indian Education and the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is meant to counter
Several sex crimes reported to police in the past week By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com
Three sex crimes have been reported in the past week, including two so far in the new year, police say. No arrests have been made in connection with any of the cases. On Dec. 30, two officers responded to a reported sex crime at 7:40 p.m, according to Lawrence Police Department activity logs. Because no address is listed in the logs it is unclear where the incident was reported. Representatives from the department declined to offer more information. Department officials
often refrain from releasing information on reported sex crimes because of their sensitive nature. On Tuesday, one officer responded to a sex crime report within the 100 block of East 11th Street, the logs say. The report was taken at 3:19 p.m. Lawrence’s Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, where a portion of the police department is housed, is located at 111 E. 11th Street. Later on Tuesday, another officer responded to a second sex crime report at 6:57 p.m., the logs say. Once again, it is unclear where the incident was reported because
the logs list only “city at large” as an address. A fourth sex crime was reported on Wednesday; however, it will not be handled by the Lawrence Police Department because the alleged crime took place outside of the department’s jurisdiction, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads. As of Thursday morning, no arrests listed in the Douglas County Jail booking logs bear a Lawrence Police Department incident number matching the reported sex crimes. Additional information was not immediately available. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284. Follow him on Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson
Lawrence Police to host 4th ‘tweet-along’
T
he Lawrence Police Department is prepping yet again to take folks at home, via social media, into the world of an officer. On Jan. 21, LPD will conduct a tweet-along, the department announced on its popular Twitter account. This will be the department’s fourth event of this kind. All you need to follow along is internet access. The department’s account is @ LawrenceKS_PD. “The tweet-alongs have been exceptionally well-received, and do a tremendous job increasing our following on Twitter,” said Lawrence Police Officer Drew Fennelly. “Our primary goal in social media is to more

actively engage with the citizens we serve, so the tweet-alongs present a perfect opportunity to reach a huge portion of our citizens and have somewhat of a back-and-forth with them.” If you’ve followed along with the last three
tweet-alongs you’ll recall there’s never a dull moment. Indeed, no two days are alike for an officer. The tweet-alongs not only help the department have contact with area residents, Fennelly said, but they also provide a bit of insight into what the job is like. There is no specific plan for the evening, Fennelly said. “We have no expectations going into our tweet-alongs; we just let the chips fall where they may, and hope for an interesting and entertaining virtual ride-along,” he said. — This is an excerpt from Conrad Swanson’s Lights & Sirens column, which appears regularly on LJWorld.com.
the tobacco industry’s successful marketing to American Indians, who have the highest childhood smoking rate among American ethnicities. “Tobacco companies have tailored their messages toward Native Americans,” she said. “They are spending so much money marketing to the community.” Brown said she was able to enlist the students of an elementary school to help with her project. “I went to read the book to a Native American school in New Mexico,” she said. “They drew pictures
has existed. “I’m interested in the ways people create new forms of community by playing music together, and this project really grabbed me,” Tucker said in a KU news release. The new grant follows a series of performances enabled by a $10,000 Starter Grant, awarded earlier this year by KU’s The Commons. The planned symposium is set for August and will tentatively include a weeklong workshop for people with limited mobility, a community performance with a guest artist and a meeting of an international research consortium dedicated to further developing the AUMI. Tucker’s colleagues on the project are Abbey Dvorak, assistant professor of music therapy; Bryan “Kip” Haaheim, professor of music composition; Michelle Heffner-Hayes, professor and chair of the department of dance; and Nicole Hodges Persley, associate professor and acting department chair of theatre.

Cluttered inbox must be brought under control Dear Annie: As of this writing, I have 6,972 unread emails. A lot of them are promotions from stores I shopped at once. Some are from social media sites, telling me I have notifications — Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest — which I hardly ever check. I guess I never got into the habit of deleting these messages as they came in, and then once the pile started growing, it just seemed so overwhelming that I gave up even trying. I wish I could just delete everything and start fresh, get my inbox back down to zero. In some cases, I have emails from people I would like to talk to. For instance, my cousin, whom I haven’t talked to in over a year, emailed me last month.

I’ve kept putting it off until I have enough time to sit down and write a thoughtful response. Now it’s been so long I feel awkward about replying. I have a similar problem with voicemail.

A grim ‘Wizard of Oz’ reboot ‘‘Emerald City’’ (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14) is not for the kiddies. That should be understood from the get-go. Just who this ‘‘Game of Thrones’’ meets the Yellow Brick Road was created for remains a mystery. Watching the review screeners left me with plenty of questions. Why start off this ‘‘Wizard of Oz’’ reboot in contemporary Kansas? Why make Dorothy (Adria Arjona) a registered nurse abandoned by her birth mother? Why is she trying to find Mom just when the fateful twister strikes? And why is there a gun-wielding cop looking for her mother, or somebody, in her dilapidated mobile home? Not to spoil anything, but we don’t get to see our 21st-century Dorothy ride out the storm in a trailer. She takes the policeman’s car, his gun and his German shepherd on that stormy journey. And, because this ‘‘Oz’’ is not for kids, that revolver comes in handy. Don’t go looking for the Lollipop Guild. Dorothy lands in a wasteland beset by tribal warfare and superstition. The Wizard (Vincent D’Onofrio) is not the cowering imposter from the 1939 musical, but a rather strident figure doing his best to fight the forces of witchcraft and evade some looming, mythical catastrophe. As Judy Garland’s Dorothy once observed, ‘‘People come and go so quickly here,’’ but some stick around, like the thousands of bodies of witches entombed in some kind of hellish mud pit. The Wicked Witch of the East survives her run-in with a police cruiser, only to be dispatched in a manner more appropriate to a Tarantino movie. Another witch, known only as West (Ana Ularu), is played as a druggy courtesan. Joely Richardson plays Glinda, but not for very long. Much of the atmosphere is grim and the dialogue lofty and symbol-laden. But when Dorothy’s first traveling companion arrives, not as a scarecrow, but as a victim of crucifixion, you have to start wishing you were leaving this metaphor-strewn wasteland and back in Kansas again.

Anxiety encourages procrastination, and vice versa. Remove one of them and you’ll deflate the other. So start by calming down. Tell yourself, ‘’Nothing catastrophic is going to happen because I didn’t delete emails.’’ Although such a laissez-faire attitude might seem counterproductive, it’s a lot easier to get moving once you take that enormous weight off your shoulders.

Forfeit this bill Legislation that would eliminate reporting requirements in forfeiture cases is a terrible move.
K
ansas’ 2017 legislative session is getting underway with a lousy bill. The first bill introduced in the session calls for repealing a law that requires law enforcement agencies to file annual reports about what they seize from suspects. The bill was developed in the wake of a Performance Audit Report last July on Kansas’ Civil Asset Forfeiture Program. Under the forfeiture program, state and local law enforcement agencies can seize cash and assets from individuals suspected of drug trafficking, human trafficking, gambling, forgery, racketeering and several other crimes. Probable cause is all that’s needed for the agency to seize assets. Law enforcement can then file a civil claim to keep the proceeds; no criminal conviction is required. If law enforcement prevails in the civil case, the assets are considered to be forfeited and law enforcement agencies can use the proceeds on any activities other than normal operating expenses. The audit found the program is flawed. Among the findings: l By allowing law enforcement agencies to keep seized assets, current law risks agency dependency on seizure funding and promotes potential conflicts of interest for law enforcement. l In four of the six states the audit reviewed, proceeds from seized assets go to school districts, legislative funds and other program not controlled by the agency that seizes the assets. Only Kansas and Iowa allow the law enforcement agencies to keep what they seize and control how the funds are spent. l Law enforcement agencies lack important financial controls for tracking forfeiture proceeds. l Of the agencies reviewed in the audit, state law enforcement agencies complied with state reporting requirements on forfeitures and how the proceeds were spent, but local law enforcement agencies did not. Under current law, all law enforcement agencies are required to submit annual reports to their governing bodies detailing the type and approximate value of forfeited assets they received and how those proceeds were used. It’s mystifying that anyone could read the 84-page audit and decide that what’s needed is less scrutiny of the forfeiture program. Yet, that’s exactly what the Legislative Post Audit Committee did last fall. Told that local law enforcement agencies weren’t properly filing annual reports, the Legislative Post Audit Committee recommended that the reporting requirement be eliminated for local law enforcement. Voila, the first bill of 2017 was born. Clearly the Kansas Civil Asset Forfeiture Program should be scrutinized. As the audit points out, current law is rife with opportunities for abuse. But absolving local law enforcement of having to report on assets it has seized and how the proceeds were spent would only make the situation worse. The first bill of 2017 doesn’t deserve to see the light of day.
TODAY IN HISTORY On Jan. 6, 1838, Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail gave the first successful public demonstration of their telegraph in Morristown, New Jersey. l In 1912, New Mexico became the 47th state. l In 1919, the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, died in Oyster Bay, New York, at age 60. l In 1994, figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed on the leg by an assailant at Detroit’s Cobo Arena; four men, including the ex-husband of Kerrigan’s rival, Tonya Harding, went to prison for their roles in the attack. (Harding denied knowing about plans for the attack.) l In 2001, with Vice President Al Gore presiding in his capacity as president of the Senate, Congress formally certified George W. Bush the winner of the bitterly contested 2000 presidential election.

Media must take a moral stand “Five minutes for Hitler, five minutes for the Jews.” That, according to legend — and a Facebook page for alumni of The Miami Herald — was the routine response of an ’80s-era editor whenever some hapless reporter was working overly hard to bring “balance” to a story where none should exist, where the moral high ground was clearly held by one side or the other. I don’t know who the editor was, but that riposte brims with a wisdom sorely lacking in modern news media, obsessed as they are with the fallacy of journalism without judgment. Take as Exhibit A Gerard Baker, editor-in-chief of the Wall Street Journal. In a Sunday interview with Chuck Todd of “Meet the Press,” he explained why his paper declines to label Donald Trump’s manifold falsehoods as lies. “‘Lie,’” he said, “implies much more than just saying something that’s false. It implies a deliberate intent to mislead.” It is better, he argued, to report a given Trump claim, juxtapose it with the facts and let the audience make up its own mind. Otherwise, he said, “you run the risk that you look like you are ... not being objective.”
Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com
“
No one ever had to remind Cronkite or Murrow of the need to speak the truth when the truth was plain and the moral imperative clear. No one should have to remind this generation of journalists either.” Besides, he added, Hillary Clinton also spoke some untruths, but media were not so quick to label her a liar. Of course, the plain fact is that Trump is a liar — and a fantastically prodigious one at that. Baker’s preferred method of handling this would be like reporting on each individual drop of water that falls, but never mentioning the storm. And likening Trump’s untruths to Clinton’s is like
likening Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring to Zan Tabak’s. Abdul-Jabbar is the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. You’ve probably never heard of Tabak, though he also played in the NBA and, once in a while, scored a basket. Baker’s is a mindset that has become all too common. With the obvious exception of certain partisan news outlets, some reporters, fearful of being tagged for “bias” on contentious issues, seek to safeguard themselves by ritually quoting a source from Side A and another from Side B while avoiding even painfully obvious conclusions. They call this “fair and balanced.” It’s actually gutless and dumb. Five minutes for Hitler, five minutes for the Jews. And then what? Five minutes for ISIS, five minutes for Charlie Hebdo? Yes, these are outlandish examples. They are also logical extrapolations. The plain fact is, journalism without judgment — moral judgment — cannot exist. If you doubt it, try a thought experiment. You’re a news manager on a day when the mayor is cutting the ribbon on a new hospital and there’s been a mass shooting at the mall.
What’s your top story? Is it the shooting? Why? Won’t the hospital directly impact more people? If you go with the shooting, what angle will you take? What resources will you commit? What answers will you demand? Congratulations, you just committed multiple acts of moral judgment. Yes, news media must strive to be fair, to hold all sides to rigorous account, to offer a balanced view. But occasionally, there comes a point — subjective, but no less real for that — when pretending to moral equivalence between those sides is a lie, an act of journalistic malpractice. In these perilous times, with authoritarianism coming to the White House and bizarre untruths infesting our national discourse, that is a sin we can ill afford. No one ever had to remind Cronkite or Murrow of the need to speak the truth when the truth was plain and the moral imperative clear. No one should have to remind this generation of journalists either. There are two sides to every story, goes the axiom. But you know what? Sometimes there’s only the one. — Leonard Pitts is a columnist for The Miami Herald.
Please note: We are not the enemy On the last day of December, this was Donald Trump’s greeting for America — via Twitter, of course: “Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don’t know what to do. Love!” My immediate response to this infantile tweet from the future president of the United States was to donate to a diaper charity. See? I do know what to do.
Connie Schultz
“
We are patriots, in all our forms. We are committed to championing what already made America great, which includes our First Amendment rights to pursue the truth and say what’s on our minds.” Let’s talk about those diapers for a moment. I first wrote about this issue in 2015, after learning that parents — particularly single mothers — who cannot afford enough diapers for their babies are likelier to struggle with depression. The need is great, so please consider donating to one of the diaper charities in your community. They’re growing in number, including at some food banks. Now, let’s address this unparalleled dysfunction about to take over the White House. It’s a remarkable thing, really, for our future president to identify as an enemy to anyone who didn’t vote for him or who dares to challenge him now. Let’s all sit with that for a moment. Once again, I am reminded of the late Rev. William Sloane Coffin’s definition of true patriotism: “There are three kinds of
patriots, two bad, one good. The bad ones are the uncritical lovers and the loveless critics. Good patriots carry on a lover’s quarrel with their country, a reflection of God’s lover’s quarrel with all the world.” Mr. Trump, we are not the enemy. We are the popular majority of voters — Democrats, Republicans and independents — who wanted a leader, someone who understands that there’s no such thing as a whisper when one is president-elect and that airing one’s many insecurities through petty, thin-skinned tweets and hashtags is as dangerous for this country as it is pathetic. We are not the enemy. We are the women who wanted someone other than an admitted sexual predator to be our president, a person who doesn’t celebrate misogyny. Your attacks against an anchorwoman inspired so many death threats against her that security guards became part of her daily life for the rest of the campaign. You are that guy. We are not the enemy. We are the people of color who wanted a president not prone to trafficking in racist stereotypes about immigrants and black and Latino Americans, someone who doesn’t relish working supporters into mobs with coded language that goads them into seeing anyone who isn’t white as the “other.”
We are not the enemy. We are the people with disabilities, which makes us different, not discardable. We are also their loved ones. We all saw the video of you mocking a New York Times reporter with a congenital joint condition. After the newspaper defended him, you didn’t apologize. Instead, you said, “He should stop using his disability to grandstand and get back to reporting for a paper that is rapidly going down the tubes.” If you were our child, you would be grounded. We are not the enemy. We are the media — the real ones, the journalists, not the propagandists and Russian hackers who helped to make you president. We are the reporters and editors demanding accountability. We are the fact-checkers chronicling your disregard for truth. We are the opinion writers you cannot silence. In recent weeks, your brigade and too many citizens who are worn-out
from the presidential campaign insist it’s time to move on. We should accept that you will be our president, they say. We should give you a chance. As one reader told me earlier this week, it is time to give up the grudge. Calling out a continued pattern and practice of lies and propaganda is not a grudge match. Resentment does not drive our vigilance in continuing to oppose what we rejected in you as a candidate. We are patriots, in all our forms. We are committed to championing what already made America great, which includes our First Amendment rights to pursue the truth and say what’s on our minds. We will challenge you as president, as true patriots often do. We are moving on. This is where we land. — Connie Schultz is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and professional in residence at Kent State University’s school of journalism.

Groups that want President-elect Donald Trump to make good on his campaign promise to rein in illegal immigration may have found a way to get a key ally into a pivotal job — while getting around a potentially reluctant Congress. They are urging Trump to hire Kris Kobach, Kansas secretary of state and an immigration hard-liner, for a newly created position — immigration czar — that would not need Senate confirmation. “We have been pushing them,” said Roy Beck, executive director of NumbersUSA, a group that advocates for greater immigration enforcement. The proposal would put one person in charge of an issue that impacts a dozen departments and agencies, including the departments of Homeland Security, State, Justice, Labor, Housing and Health and Human Services. Kobach, a member of Trump’s transition team

who has met with the future president twice in recent weeks, had been considered for attorney general and homeland security secretary. But Kobach could face confirmation problems. Republicans who have more moderate views on immigration would be unlikely to support him. They include Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake, both of Arizona. “It’s designed to put Kris Kobach in a position of authority,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of America’s Voice, an immigration advocacy group. “It’s widely recognized that Kris Kobach can’t be confirmed by the United States Senate.” Kobach had advised Trump on immigration policy throughout the campaign and added Trump’s promise to build a wall along the southern border to the Republican Party’s national platform. He was the architect of one of the toughest immigration laws in the country — Arizona’s controversial 2010 SB 1070 law — which requires law enforcement
officers to demand to see the papers of anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally. The law, which has been denounced for encouraging racial profiling, has faced legal challenges since it was signed into law, and many of its provisions have been struck down. Kobach has been criticized for his legal work for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, or FAIR, an organization that says it’s working to “reduce the harmful impact of uncontrolled immigration.” “I couldn’t think of anybody else that I think would be in a better position to be the immigration czar,” said Kelly Arnold, chairman of the Kansas Republican Party. “Secretary Kobach’s got good knowledge of the legal aspects of immigration issues … and I’d say he has a good comprehension of the current problems and what needs tweaked, what needs to be fixed.” Arnold said he thinks Kobach remains under consideration for a role in the Trump administration.
count of aggravated burglary. He is currently being held in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of a $35,000 bond. Hinson has no prior criminal history in Douglas County District Court, and Leavenworth County District Court officials could not be reached Thursday afternoon regarding any possible criminal history there. If he is convicted of all five felony charges, Hinson could face a maximum sentence of more than 96 years in prison. Douglas County Sheriff’s
Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek refused a request to release Hinson’s booking photo, saying that the photo is “not required to be disclosed under the Kansas Open Records Act.” Hinson is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 24 for a preliminary hearing. There, a judge will determine if enough evidence exists to order him to stand trial.
far getting the message across. I’m excited to see how it is received once all the schools receive it.” Brown traces her antidrug activism to the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program presented in her sixth-grade year in the Eudora Middle School health class of teacher Randy Foos. School resource officers Ryan Healzer and Caleb Lewis taught the DARE program, she said. “That got me really involved in drug and alcohol prevention,” she said. “I also worked with the Douglas County district attorney, Charles Branson, in his office. I saw how drugs, alcohol and smoking ruined people’s lives.” Foos said DARE tended
to make big impressions on those the program reached. Brown was one of those. “It seemed to be her passion at the time,” he said. “I firmly believe she was brought into this world to help people with that message.” Brown said she didn’t know if she would be asked to do a second book but was looking to keep working on its message. “I’m working on lesson plans to go along with the book,” she said. “We’ll see what the future holds. I’m happy to help get good information out there. It’s a labor of love for me.”

USA TODAY
Top U.S. intelligence officials told senators Thursday that they are confident in their assessment that Russia attempted to use cyberattacks to influence the U.S. presidential election, despite skepticism of their findings by President-elect Donald Trump. “Our assessment now is even more resolute,” Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told the Senate Armed Services Committee in testimony echoed by Adm.

Clapper said the intelligence community will release a public report next week detailing Russia’s attempt to influence the U.S. presidential election by hacking Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign and other political groups. The CIA and FBI agreed that the interference was aimed at helping Trump beat Clinton. Responding to questions from Democratic senators about Trump’s criticism of the intelligence community, Clapper said he has no problem with elected officials having a healthy skepticism about information from the intelligence community, which he said is “not perfect” since it is made up of human beings.

Sears is closing 150 stores and selling its vaunted Craftsman tool brand, but those steps may not be enough to stop the unraveling of the American icon. Sears’ announcement Thursday came a day after rival Macy’s said it would close 68 locations, making the department store concept itself look like an endangered species. In a retail landscape dominated by online sellers such as Amazon and big-box chains such as Walmart and Home Depot, Sears finds itself in a search for a reason to exist. “The brand has lost relevance, it’s lost customers and it’s lost its real reason for existence on the American retail scene,” says Neil Saunders, CEO of Conlumino, a retail consulting firm. Following “the trajectory they’re on, there are no real signs of them turning it around to profitability.” Sears has more than 1,300 stores remaining in its portfolio, so its demise could be prolonged.

To prevent peanut allergies, start snacking early Infants who eat them less likely to be allergic Sean Rossman USA TODAY
Want to avert a lifelong peanut allergy? Feed your baby peanut foods. That’s the takeaway from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, which issued guidelines to health care providers and parents
Thursday. Officials say peanut allergies can be curbed by introducing children to foods that contain the legume as young as early infancy. The new rules follow scientific research that showed introducing foods with peanuts during infancy can prevent allergies. The NIAID said peanut allergies are a growing health problem with no treatment or cure. They usually develop in childhood and remain into the adult years. In a survey in 2010, about 2% of U.S. children

had a peanut allergy, which was more than four times the estimate in 1999. The decision to rework the guidelines came after a trial of more than 600 infants found that regular peanut consumption until age 5 reduced the likelihood of an allergy by 81%. “The study clearly showed that introduction of peanuts early in life significantly lowered the risk of developing peanut allergy by age 5,” said Daniel Rotrosen, the director of the NIAID’s Division of Allergy, Immunology and Transplantation.
NIAID Director Anthony Fauci said people operated under the “incorrect assumption” that they should forbid their children from eating peanuts because they may be an allergy risk. “As it turns out, counterintuitively, that works against the child,” he said. The new guidelines will “save lives and lower health care costs,” Fauci said. “We expect that widespread implementation of these guidelines by health care providers will prevent the development of peanut allergy in many susceptible children and ultimately reduce the prevalence of peanut allergy in the United States.”

Dinosaurs may have hunted in packs
Trump urged to uplift, not undermine authorities v CONTINUED FROM 1B
Cretaceous footprints suggest coordinated tyrannosaur attack Traci Watson
Special for USA TODAY
Some 90 million years ago, three carnivorous dinosaurs sloshed through the mud, leaving footsteps still visible today. Now researchers have found clues hinting at the intent: dinner, in the form of a fellow dinosaur. If this idea is correct — and it’s far from confirmed — the tracks could provide valuable evidence for cooperative hunting by tyrannosaurs, the family of meat-eating, hind-leg-walking reptiles headed by the mighty T. rex. Scientists have found fossils and other tracks suggesting dinosaurs hunted cooperatively, but evidence for dinosaur behavior “is still relatively rare, because we’re talking about something we can’t see,” says Brent Breithaupt, a Wyoming-based regional paleontologist for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. And whatever happened at this spot one day in the Cretaceous, “tracks are the first good step — excuse the pun — into learning about what animals were there.” The predator tracks first were discovered a decade ago in a rugged corner of New Mexico overseen by the land-management bureau. The researchers found 13 prints left by three meat-eating dinosaurs. The proportions and shape of the three-toed prints point to ty-

A round footprint was left by some kind of vegetarian dinosaur, most likely a Zuniceratops. These and other footprints suggest a pack of three carnivores chased the vegetarian.
rannosaurs as the culprits, says Douglas Wolfe of the White Mountain Dinosaur Exploration Center, who found the tracks. Fossils of a tyrannosaur-like dinosaur lie nearby, bolstering the case that the tracks are the footwork of tyrannosaurs. Many of the tracks parallel each other, indicating “a family group, maybe moving in concert,” Wolfe says. What stumped him was the pattern. The prints march across the ground in a relatively straight line. They suddenly change direction. A few years ago, Douglas Wolfe’s wife Hazel noticed something no one else had seen: a round footprint exactly where the tyrannosaur tracks swerve. Piles of sediment hint the round-footed animal kicked up sand as it scrambled away. The maker of the round track probably was a plant-eating horned dinosaur of the Triceratops family, Douglas Wolfe says. One candidate is Zuniceratops, a smallish horned dinosaur. Wolfe thinks the tyrannosaurs closed in on the horned dinosaur’s right side before their quarry fled. The Wolfes reported their findings at a recent meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. A joint attack may seem farfetched, but dinosaurs were not the loners of popular imagination. At one Canadian site, fossils from tyrannosaurs of different ages suggests the animals died together, says James Kirkland of the Utah Geological Survey. Douglas Wolfe says it’s useful simply to find prints of tyrannosaur-like animals: The tracks indicate tyrannosaurs once stalked this patch of ground in the Cretaceous, and did so in a herd. The set of tracks also “shows there are many, many unique sites still out there” waiting to be discovered, Breithaupt says.
unable to stem its financial bleeding and is forced into bankruptcy or perhaps a final assets sale, its loss would be akin to that of dominating American companies such as airline Pan Am or fiveand dime F.W. Woolworth. “I honestly don’t see a spot for Sears long-term,” says Van Conway, CEO of Van Conway & Partners, who has advised retail companies and other businesses on reorganization and insolvency. “My mom shopped at Sears. That was the only place she could go. Now you have 50 choices, and Sears is outdated.” Founded in 1886, Sears launched its first large, general catalog a decade later and for generations was the go-to source for products ranging from watches to washing machines. Though it lost its place as the nation’s biggest retailer to Walmart in the 1990s, Sears enjoyed a renaissance during that decade under the helm of then-CEO Arthur Martinez, who pushed a greater focus on apparel sales and other initiatives. The company faltered in the 2000s, selling its more than $30 billion credit portfolio to Citibank in 2003 and merging the Sears brand with Kmart, another struggling big-box chain. CEO Edward Lampert, a hedge fund manager who shepherded the Sears tie-up with Kmart, initiated his own turnaround strategy, loaning the company cash, spinning off parts of the business and putting Sears’ Kenmore, Diehard and Craftsman brands up for sale. Sears’ travails are part of a broader struggle that has engulfed many traditional retailers trying to compete in an environment in which consumers can buy virtually any item by browsing online without setting foot in a store. “One thing people used to use department stores for was wide choice and selection,” Saunders says. “There’s no wider choice than on the Internet, so a lot of the reason for going to those department stores just doesn’t exist the way it once did.” In addition to Sears, many retailers, including Kohl’s and JCPenney, have failed to innovate in ways that will continue to woo shoppers. “We’re seeing now in retail a lot of legacy players that are dead, dying or in danger of dy-
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., reflecting the concern among some Republican lawmakers about Trump’s rift with the intelligence community he will soon lead, said it’s appropriate for Trump to challenge officials but not to undermine them. “I think they need to be uplifted, not undermined,” Graham said. “They’re the best among us, and they’re trying to protect us.” Clapper told the committee that a comprehensive report ordered by President Obama on Russian hacking will be ready next week, including an unclassified version that the public will be able to review. He said lawmakers will receive closed-door briefings on the classified portions of the report. Obama received the report Thursday. Clapper said the Russians had more than one motive in trying to interfere with the election, and the report will detail their multiple objectives. Clapper said the Russian interference “did not change any vote tallies or anything of that sort.” He said there is no way for the intelligence community to gauge the impact of the hacking and the subsequent leak of information on how Americans voted. Clapper said he intends to “push the envelope” to include as much information as he can in the public version of the report without compromising secret sources. “I think the public should know as much as possible about this,” he said. Armed Services Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., warned Thursday that the United States must increase the punishment for cyberattacks by foreign nations. “There is no escaping the fact that this committee meets today for the first time in this new Congress in the aftermath of an unprecedented attack on our democracy,” he said. “The goal of this review, as I understand it, is not to question the outcome of the presidential election,” McCain said. “Nor should it be. As both President Obama and President-elect Trump have said, our nation must move forward. But we must do so with full knowledge of the facts.” McCain said the United States is too vulnerable to cyberattacks by foreign adversaries. Contributing: John Bacon and Gregory Korte

ing because of their inability to do that,” says Mark Cohen, director of retail studies at Columbia Business School, who is the former CEO of Sears Canada. The flurry of steps taken in recent days by Sears is a stark illustration of the moves it is making to try to survive. In addition to the store closures, Sears announced Wednesday that it had obtained a $500 million loan commitment backed by mortgages on 46 properties belonging to its subsidiaries. That adds to its long-term debt, which had ballooned from $2.2 billion at the end of January 2016 to $3.7 billion at the end of October. “From what I can see, these are very intelligent financial maneuvers to raise money,’’ Conway says. “But the whole issue is, is the core business of the retailer viable?”

Add wages to key jobs report must-sees Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY
As the job market continues to firm and joblessness drops, Wall Street, which is prone to worry, is looking for any signs of wage inflation building in the pipeline. While fatter paychecks are a plus for workers, it has a dark side, too. When companies have to pay workers more, it could spur broader inflation — or rising prices on things ranging from eggs to electric cars — prodding the Federal Reserve to accelerate its pace of interest rate hikes in 2017. The government, analysts say, is expected to report Friday that the economy churned out 180,000 new jobs in December, in line with the 178,000 jobs created

kept some workers at home and suppressed Labor’s employment totals. ADP counts such workers as employed as long as they’re on the payroll. Labor’s average monthly job growth has slowed to about 180,000 in 2016 from 229,000 the previous year. Many economists cite the low 4.6% unemployment rate, which has spelled fewer job candidates and slower hiring. “Job growth remains strong but is slowing,” says Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, which helps ADP compile the report.

ADP reports fewer job gains than expected ADP attempts to foreshadow the Labor Department’s initial private-sector estimate and tends to reflect similar broad trends but often has differed from it significantly. Historically, the disparity has been more pronounced in December, when some employers served by ADP purge from their payrolls employees no longer with the company, says Jim O’Sullivan, chief economist of High Frequency Economics. Labor, by contrast, doesn’t count workers when they stop getting paid. At the same time, he says, unusually cold weather may have

in November. The nation’s unemployment rate is seen inching up to 4.7% from 4.6%. If the jobs data comes in at or near estimates, it will be viewed as more of the same and another sign that job growth remains healthy, says Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edward Jones. But if signs of wage inflation are evident, it could make investors nervous, although it’s unlikely to nudge the Fed toward immediately upping its forecast for rate hikes this year. In December, when it hiked rates for only the second time since the 2008 financial crisis, the Fed said it expects to hike borrowing costs three times in 2017. Year-overyear wage growth has been tracking around 2.5%. “Wage growth could move markets if it comes in much stronger than it has been,” says Warne.

This year, we’re keeping our eyes peeled for style stars like Blake Lively, who will surely be on the arm of her husband, Deadpool nominee Ryan Reynolds, and nominees like La La Land’s Emma Stone, Jackie’s Natalie Portman, Loving’s Ruth Negga, Divorce’s Sarah Jessica Parker and The Americans’ Keri Russell. Expect stars to wear and hail Tom Ford, who is nominated for directing Nocturnal Animals (he’s also been known to dress his star Amy Adams, who is nominated for Arrival). And let’s not forget this year’s fashion-forward presenters, who include Reese Witherspoon, Sofia Vergara, Jessica Chastain, Zoe Saldana, Nicole Kidman and Priyanka Chopra.

A NOD TO DEBBIE REYNOLDS AND CARRIE FISHER
While the Globes usually do not include an “In Memoriam” segment, producers have indicated the show will reference the tragic loss of the mother and daughter actresses. “We do realize there were some special circumstances of very recent nature that happened and I think we’ll be acknowledging that” during the show, Globes producer Barry Adelman told People. Fisher, 60, died Dec. 27, four days after suffering a heart-related medical emergency on a flight from London to Los Angeles. One day later, Reynolds, 84, died after an apparent stroke at her son’s home while discussing funeral plans for her daughter.

with this year’s Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. The honor certainly makes sense: The beloved actress, who is nominated for Florence Foster Jenkins this year, is a 30-time Globe nominee and an eight-time winner. (Imagine her trophy room; Streep also has been nominated for 19 Oscars, with three wins.)

In the comedy category, Donald Glover’s Atlanta will challenge Black-ish, Mozart in the Jungle, Transparent and Veep. And watch for stiff competition among limited series, with The People v. O.J.

Coming soon: doughnuts, chicken, whiskey D
oughnuts and whiskey might become the new Breakfast of Champions. Exactly what you are a champion of might be an interesting debate. But, yes, proving that anything is possible in downtown Lawrence, we indeed are getting a doughnut shop that also will serve you fine whiskey. Proving that we are intent on giving doctors everywhere a certain salute, it also will serve fried chicken.

WAKE THE DEAD: CHICKEN, WHISKEY, DONUTS is getting ready to open at 918 Massachusetts St.

Perhaps more importantly for this venture, he’s I alerted you last week also the former owner of that I had seen a City Hall Harolds Fried Chicken application for a future & Donuts. That was the downtown business that short-lived restaurant wanted to sell doughnuts, that operated out of the fried chicken and whiskey, Miller Mart gas station but the permit application on West Sixth Street. didn’t provide much inforWysong said the mation. (To be clear, it a concept of fried chicken was permit for a sign. You served with a doughnut don’t have to pay for a city developed a bit of a cult permit to fry a chicken. If following during the year you did, the south Iowa that Harolds was open. corridor alone would Wysong said he always solve all city budget prob- wanted to continue with lems for a generation.) the idea, but was looking Well, now I know to tweak both the conmore. Longtime downcept and location a bit. town restaurant owner Wysong has partnered Nick Wysong is leading with Lawrence businessa group that will open man Ryan Robinson, who Wake the Dead: Chicken, brings a lot of marketing Whiskey, Donuts at 918 experience to the table as Massachusetts St., which a promoter of Color Run is the former location of races across the country. Burger Fi. Josh Kurzdan, who was Wysong is the copart of the Lawrence founder and owner of Burger Fi restaurant, the popular downtown also is part of the group, restaurant Ingredient. Wysong said.
What won’t change with the business is the chicken recipe. It will continue to be “honest, Southern-style fried chicken.” It will be fried in the old-fashioned manner and will come with a choice of about a dozen sauces. Traditional sides such as potatoes and gravy or macaroni and cheese will be on the menu. At Harolds, the doughnuts were a bit of a side dish. But that won’t be the case at Wake the Dead. Wysong said the restaurant will be a fully functioning doughnut shop. People will be able to come in of a morning and get a few dozen doughnuts to take to the office. If the thought of going to the office requires a shot of bourbon, Wake the Dead also will serve you that. The shop will have a large selection of “top shelf whiskeys,” Wysong
said. It also, obviously, will have evening hours. It isn’t betting on whiskey for breakfast becoming a hugely popular trend. (It is trend-disadvantaged because people who partake in it don’t remember it well enough to tweet about it.) As for the doughnuts, Wysong said he expects to have a stable of about 60 recipes, although he plans to start out by having about a dozen varieties available daily. “We’re going to do this right and do it well,” Wysong said. “But the doughnut element is going to be huge. We’re super stoked about that.” But perhaps what will blow your mind is that the fried chicken and the doughnuts truly will come together. (See, there is hope for a divided America.) Harolds served a sandwich called the Grilled Glazer. It was
fried chicken covered in cheese sauce, a secret sauce, sandwiched between two maple-glazed doughnuts. Are you understanding this? The doughnuts served as the bread for the sandwich. I always assumed Harolds closed after a year in business because it was miffed that it had not yet won a Nobel Prize for this innovation. Well, the Grilled Glazer will be on the menu of Wake the Dead. Wysong also said the menu will include a line of other sandwiches, some of which also will use doughnuts in place of bread. He didn’t give me details on what those will look like. (Or perhaps he did, but I was too busy renting a semi to carry my next order of cholesterol medicine.) Remodeling work is already underway at the site. Wysong hopes to have the restaurant open in late January. Wake the Dead, however, isn’t the only venture Wysong is working on. Wysong also is part of a group that has purchased the Jackpot Music Hall and Saloon at 943 Massachusetts St. You may have noticed that Jackpot was closed for a couple of weeks in November. That’s when Wysong’s group purchased the business. The group did a bit of remodeling on the interior and installed new exterior signage. Wysong said Jackpot still will function as a bar and music venue. Wysong called himself a “good music fanatic,” and he said the venue will host a variety of genres including rock, bluegrass, funk, hip hop, country and others.
The business is next door to Wysong’s Ingredient restaurant and his Five Bar and Tables establishment that has been hosting live music, particularly jazz, for a while now. Five Bar and Tables also has been host to regular pingpong gatherings. Those pingpong tables are moving to Jackpot, and he said the bar soon will announce a weekly special involving pingpong and cheap beer. “I’ve always had a big crush on Jackpot,” Wysong said of the decision to buy the establishment. “We feel like we have had a lot of good luck promoting jazz at (Five Bar and Tables.) Now we have a bigger stage and venue to promote music.” — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday on LJWorld.com.

Long-term mortgage rates fall, breaking 9-week rise Washington (ap) — After nine straight weeks of increases, long-term US mortgage rates fell this week. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the rate on 30-year fixed-rate loans declined to an average 4.20 percent from 4.32 percent last week. That was still sharply higher than a 30-year rate that averaged 3.65 percent for all of 2016, the lowest level recorded from records going back to 1971. A year ago, the benchmark rate stood at 3.97 percent. The average for a 15-year mortgage eased to 3.44 percent from 3.55 percent last week. Mortgage rates surged in the weeks since the election of Donald Trump in early November. Investors in Treasury bonds bid yield rates higher because they believe the president-elect’s plans for tax cuts and higher spending on roads, bridges and
airports will drive up economic growth and inflation. That would depress prices of long-term Treasury bonds because inflation would erode their value over time, a prospect that caused investors to demand higher yields. The wave of selling in the bond market lifted bond yields, which move opposite to prices and influence longterm mortgage rates. Yields reached their highest levels in more than two years. This week, bond prices recovered and the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond fell to 2.44 percent Wednesday from 2.51 percent a week earlier. That compares with 1.87 percent on Election Day Nov. 8. The yield declined further to 2.42 percent Thursday morning. The sustained climb in mortgage rates caused fewer consumers to come forward to buy

a home. Applications for mortgage loans dropped 12 percent in the week ended Dec. 30 from two weeks earlier, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Applications to refinance mortgages dropped 22 percent. To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country between Monday and Wednesday each week. The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount. The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was unchanged this week at 0.5 point. The fee on 15year loans also remained at 0.5 point. Rates on adjustable five-year loans rose to 3.33 percent from 3.30 percent. The fee fell to 0.4 point from 0.5 point.

Finally, KU and K-State feel like genuine rivals
D
uring his one and only season at Kansas State 10 years ago, basketball coach Bob Huggins said that both teams have to win games for any series to constitute a rivalry. Since Kansas was winning nearly all the games at the time, he concluded, it wasn’t a rivalry. He was right. Huggins had three shots at Kansas that year and couldn’t come away a winner. His culture-changing presence and the recruits he left behind elevated the program. Frank Martin and Bruce Weber were able to coach the Wildcats to a pair of victories against Kansas at Bramlage Coliseum, a building in which the schools have split the past six games. When Michael Beasley led K-State to an 84-75 victory on Jan. 30, 2008, over the eventual national champions, it broke a 24-game Manhattan winning streak for Kansas. Ever since that game, it has felt more like a rivalry, especially in Bramlage, where the school wisely seats the students close enough for their antics (generally not too obscene) to be seen and heard. Still, the series lacked controversy, a moment on which a rematch could hang its hat, a hook that would make the next clash a must for basketball fans in all 50 states, not just in the state that one Bill has dominated for decades in football, the other Bill and Roy before him in basketball. That moment arrived Tuesday night, when Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk invented the Eurasian step and hit the game-winning shot to defeat the aggressive visitors from Manhattan, 90-88, in Allen Fieldhouse. The inbound pass went to Devonté Graham because Frank Mason was double-covered. The defense collapsed on Graham, leaving an open path for Svi, who took the pass roughly 75 feet from the hoop, executed two long power dribbles and picked up the ball. Not-atall slowly he turned, step by step, inch by inch, and threw the game-winner off the glass as the red light on the backboard shined. Imagine the horror of the three referees when they went to the monitor to confirm the obvious, that Svi had released the shot in time, only to discover the far more obvious: Svi had done the best Gale Sayers impersonation anybody in this town had seen in decades. The refs didn’t enforce the rules in Chuck Norris fashion. In portraying Cordell Walker, Texas Ranger, Norris didn’t just blow the whistle on rules offenders; he beat them,

Special teams trickery has KU football up for play call of year By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com
Mike Yoder/Journal-World File Photo
KANSAS FOOTBALL COACH DAVID BEATY offers instructions to his offense, including LaQuvionte Gonzales (1), during a Nov. 12, 2016 game against Iowa State.
In the second quarter of a rare winnable Big 12 game this past November against Iowa State, David Beaty and his staff decided to try something unorthodox. Shortly after the Jayhawks, who were leading at the time, gave up a touchdown, special teams coordinator Joe DeForest sent kick returner LaQuvionte Gonzalez to the end zone — to hide. KU’s blue uniforms perfectly matched the turf where Gonzalez lay in wait, and after Steven Sims Jr. fielded the ISU kickoff nearby, Gonzalez popped up, caught a lateral and returned the ball out to the 34-yard-line. Ultimately, the play didn’t set up a score — or even a victory — but it proved
bizarre enough to populate the college football Twittersphere and highlight shows on Nov. 12, and the “camouflage” kickoff now has KU up for USA Today Sports’ Coach’s Play Call of the Year. “Joe (DeForest) brought that with him,” Beaty said of the unique approach on special teams, “and we felt we were going to need a momentum changer in this game and something that would help us. We thought we might be able to get completely out on that one. I thought it was a really cool design by Joe, and I thought our kids executed it pretty well.” At the end of the regular season, USA Today Sports writers selected five plays where the head coach’s play call — not player talent or

Coach Bill Self says he saw Svi’s walk on replay By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com
Nearly two full days removed from the actual incident itself, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk’s gamewinning layup — and the extra steps that led to it — continued to be a hot topic on Thursday. So much so that Kansas basketball coach Bill Self twice was asked for his thoughts on the no-call after seeing the replay in the hours after Tuesday’s 90-88 KU victory. “I watched the game, so I saw the play and it looked like he took extra steps,” Self said during Thursday morning’s Big 12 Conference teleconference. “There’s no question about that. So I don’t disagree with anybody,

of his current team leaving more than a little to be desired during recent weeks, Self was asked Thursday to name some of the best defenders he has coached at Kansas. Without hesitation, Self started with a starter on the national runner-up team in 2012. “Travis Releford was unreal,” Self began. “I thought Aaron Miles was terrific, as well. We’ve had a ton. I think Tyshawn Taylor was one of the best defenders we’ve ever had here, without question. (Jeff) Withey, Cole (Alrdich); those guys obviously did some good things. But we’ve had some teams that were really, really good that had some (individually) bad Top defenders With the defensive play defenders. Thomas (Robfrom a K-State perspective, being upset with that. The game could’ve easily gone overtime.” Self went on to emphasize that, as much as that one missed call on the game’s final possession seemed to decide the outcome, there always are several similar scenarios during the course of any game that do not get as much attention. “I do know that there’s a lot of calls throughout a game,” Self said. “A lot. And everything is magnified in the last several possessions because there’s no time to make up those mistakes, if they are mistakes, as a player or as an official. But that’s part of the basketball game.”

And they also scored at the end of the clock better than most teams do. I think that’s a sign of a good, disciplined, well-coached team.” As much as he likes and respects Beard, Self said the Red Raiders’ early success was merely another sign of just how solid the Big 12 Conference has been during recent years. “You don’t ever want to say upgrade, because I love the other coaches that have been at their

And certainly losing Tubby (Smith), a great name, and then Chris coming or Brad (Underwood) replacing Travis (Ford at Oklahoma State) or whoever it’s been over time. I don’t know that you say one is better than the other. I just think a lot of times there is an advantage in taking over a program that’s been well-coached by somebody before you. I think that can be an advantage. In these situations, I think it has been an advantage for some of the new coaches because the other guys knew what they were doing too, and now you add a few pieces and you add your own little style and get an influx of energy and things like that, those are usually very positive for programs.”

Kansas volleyball winning titles on court and beyond V
ictories and honors never stop pouring in for Kansas volleyball players, past and present. The Jayhawks have gone 57-6 the past two years with Kelsie Payne earning first-team AllAmerican honors both seasons and Ainise Havili picking up first-team and third-team All-American honors. KU appeared in the Final Four in 2015 and won the outright Big 12 title in 2016, pushing national runner-up Texas into second place. And the Jayhawks’ hot streak extends beyond the volleyball court. Catherine Carmichael, who started 27 matches during her five years at Kansas (2009-2013), brought more pride to the program with a recent accomplishment in a competitive arena of another sort. Carmichael was crowned Miss Kansas USA 2017 after a three-day competition (Nov. 25-27) in Mulvane. She also won the swimsuit award. Wearing her sash and winning smile, Carmichael was on the scoreboard waving as she was introduced to the Allen Fieldhouse crowd during Tuesday night’s 90-88 men’s basketball victory. A graduate of KU and Manhattan High, where she was a twotime all-state selection in basketball, Carmichael is assistant director of recruiting for David Beaty’s football program. Her contributions at

drill in practice my freshman year and I’m sure the rest of the girls were thinking, ‘What in the world?’ There were times I even thought, ‘What am I doing?’ But it ended up being the best experience I’ve ever had,” she said. Carmichael said the contestants for the Miss USA pageant expect to find out when and where it will take place in the next month. Her schedule has her making appearances at various fundraisers, including ones near and dear to her heart, those that benefit pediatric cancer. Her younger brother is a two-time cancer survivor.

Kansas have been to the volleyball and football programs, but her first love was basketball, a sport her mother played at Bemidji State and her brother played at Illinois State. Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard first became involved in recruiting Carmichael when he was scouting a high school teammate. “I don’t even know if she played that night,” Bechard said of Carmichael. “We watched her warming up and she stood out. I did a home visit with her and she and her mom looked at me like I was crazy: ‘Coach, you’re the only one recruiting us.’ I told them you’ll redshirt a year, you’re going to begin to figure it out and we think by your third year, you’ll be a Big 12 volleyball player.” That’s how it played out. Carmichael turned down basketball offers from Creighton and Pittsburg State to come to KU as a preferred walk-on and now calls

Gonzalez ranked 10th in the category (5.2). Sims also cracked the top 10 in receiving yards per game, ranking ninth, at 71.6. In 2015, when Kansas went 0-12, Tre’ Parmalee led the team with 41 receptions, 599 yards and three touchdowns. This past fall, under Phillips’ tutelage, Sims emerged as the Jayhawks’ top pass-catcher and produced significantly larger numbers: 72 receptions, 859 yards, seven touchdowns. Gonzalez, a transfer from Texas A&M, also helped Phillips positively impact the passing game, adding 62 catches, 729 yards and three scores. During the season, Sims credited Phillips for playing a major part in his development, following a 30-catch freshman campaign.

After spending one season on David Beaty’s Kansas football staff, wide receivers coach Jason Phillips has left the program to head to Pac12 country, where he’ll work for coach Gary Andersen at Oregon State. A former assistant at SMU, Houston and Baylor, as well, Phillips will coach receivers at Oregon State and serve as the team’s passing-game coordinator. Phillips became the second assistant to leave Kansas for the Pac-12 in the past several weeks, after former offensive coordinator Rob Likens moved on to work at Arizona State. The departure of Phillips gives Beaty and Kansas an opening for one of the team’s nine full-time

“I’ve learned a lot from Coach Phillips in the couple months he’s been here,” Sims said at the time. Andersen announced the hiring of Phillips and safeties coach John Rushing (who left the Los Angeles Rams) on Thursday. “Coach Phillips and Coach Rushing are tremendous additions to our coaching staff,” Andersen said in a release. “Both are very experienced coaches, great recruiters and take great pride in building young men and pushing them to excel at a high level on and off the field. The entire staff is excited to get to work for the upcoming season.” Oregon State finished 4-8 overall in 2016, and 3-6 in the Pac-12. Kansas went 2-10 this past year, with a 1-8 mark in the Big 12.
cardboard posters, maybe even costumes for the occasion, scheduled for Feb. 6 at 8 p.m., the day after the Super Bowl, but a much bigger game in this 85-mile slice of pastoral heaven that separates the schools. If the athletic department had a sense of humor, which it probably doesn’t because, well, it’s an athletic department, it would look into bringing Nancy Sinatra to town armed with a purple Sharpie for a white-bootsigning party. You know, buy the boots and wear
them to the game for a boot-out. Surely, every time Svi touches the ball, the students, maybe even the band, will have something loud to send his way. Players and coaches from both squads won’t give the rematch any thought until it’s upon them, but it will reside for the next month in the back of many other minds, a sure sign of a genuine rivalry. It will be interesting to see how Svi responds to the relentless attention from the fans. If he
responds with the game of his life and drops 30 on the Wildcats, KU boosters will worship the ground he walks on. In their eyes, it will be a performance worthy of a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. NCAA rules might prohibit him from playing himself in the movie, in which case Christoper Walken could portray him. Twice the performer as two-man folk band Aztec Two-Step, Mykhailiuk has rattled off eight consecutive double-figures scoring
games, is averaging 11.1 points and boasts a .457 3-point shooting percentage. At 6-foot-8, he walks tall for a player with such refined perimeter skills. Conventional wisdom suggests that K-State should have the edge in the rematch because it will be determined to even the score after being denied the opportunity to win the game in overtime, or even with about two seconds remaining had the travel been whistled. Disagree. Sure, the home crowd
gives Kansas a huge advantage, but any team that visits Allen Fieldhouse plays with an underdog’s free mind, has nothing to lose in the sense that gives them any shot to win. The Jayhawks will be so tired of hearing about the Svi steps by the time the game rolls around they’ll play as if they have something to prove as well. The majority of the pressure, for a change, will lie on the shoulders of the Wildcats. I like Kansas in the rematch, but don’t expect it to be a cakewalk.
air from the Grand Ole Opry House, in Nashville, Tenn. In the days following KU’s trick play, Sims, a sophomore, said Twitter stardom for Gonzalez, a junior, didn’t surprise him. “Quiv’s used to all of that,” Sims said, referencing the transfer’s time at a nationally renowned program, Texas A & M. “I know he’s used to all of that. We were just laughing about
it. Like that’s crazy. It really blew up.” The one negative about the “camo” call, though, was that KU wouldn’t soon be able to confuse an opponent with it again. “I actually saw their coaches,” Sims revealed of the play, explaining ISU staffers noticed what Gonzalez was up to. “They saw it coming but they couldn’t get to the team fast enough. It was funny, though.”
Here’s a glimpse at the other four plays and coaches up for consideration: l Former Houston — now Texas — head coach Tom Herman and his staff sent Brandon Wilson to the end zone on a 53-yard field goal try by Oklahoma. When the kick failed to reach the uprights, Wilson returned the miss for a touchdown, helping the Cougars knock off the Sooners, who eventually won the Big 12.
l With his team down three points in the second overtime, against rival Michigan, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer opted to go for it on fourthand-one, risking a loss. However, quarterback J.T. Barrett rushed for a first down, and OSU went on to win on the very next play. l Pitt coach Patt Narduzi and the offense opted for a bit of a trick play against Georgia Tech in an ACC matchup. Instead
of utilizing one of Pitt’s skill players, offensive lineman Brian O’Neill caught a lateral and ran 24 yards for a touchdown. l Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, with his team trailing by three in the final minute and facing a fourth-and-one versus USC, decided to forgo a potential gametying field goal. The Utes went for it, converted and knocked off the Trojans in regulation.
