City to decide apartment parking issue

FLIGHTS OF FANTASY

——

Developers want residents to move in before required number of spaces are built By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The parking conundrum at the under-construction HERE @ Kansas apartment and retail project will be dissected at City Hall on Tuesday, when city commissioners will be asked to decide on the developers’ petition to fill the apartments before it has the number of parking spaces city code requires. HERE LLC, the Chicago-based development group behind CITY the $75 million apart- COMMISSION ment project near Memorial Stadium, learned in October that the manufacturer of its planned automated parking garage — one of the points of the project that helped secure an incentives package from the city — had filed for bankruptcy protection. Developers had to think up a new parking plan, for which they will have

As temperatures drop, be wary of car thefts, police say By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Lawrence police have seen an increase in car thefts over recent months, a common occurrence during the winter season. Since November, at least five vehicles left running were stolen in Lawrence, said Lawrence Police

spokeswoman Kim Murphree. Only two of the stolen vehicles left running were recovered. As the temperature drops, motorists are more likely to leave their vehicles running and unoccupied — an easy target for thieves, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley. “Cold weather often

RICH JOHNSON, owner of Rich Johnson Automotive at 1410 N. Third St., works on a car that wouldn’t start because of the recent cold weather. Johnson says motorists should allow their cars to warm up before driving them during the winter months. But they should also be careful and not leave their vehicles running and unoccupied, making them an easy target for thieves.

people will leave their unlocked cars running to keep warm, so they often keep watch over neighborhoods and areas around convenience stores looking for an opportunity, McKinley said. It only takes a few seconds for someone to enter a running car and take off, said Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek. It’s a crime of opportunity that is largely avoidable. “We have also seen vehicle thefts occur when individuals are making food deliveries to homes or businesses,” McKinley said. So far this winter the sheriff’s office has not had any reports of running vehicles left unattended that were stolen, Dymacek said. But those types of thefts can happen all over Douglas County. Kansas University Public Safety Capt. James Anguiano said car thefts are less common on campus, possibly due to the nature of the school’s student body. “I think a lot of students aren’t getting their cars stolen because they usually take the bus or they’re walking, not like in the city or the county,” he said. Anguiano did note that Public Safety does occasionally remind delivery drivers to make sure they turn their cars off whenever they make a stop. It’s best to avoid giving potential thieves the opportunity to steal a car, McKinley, Anguiano and Dymacek agreed. Avoiding thefts can be

tricky, however, because motorists are still advised to let their vehicles warm up rather than jump in and start driving immediately, said mechanic Rich Johnson, owner of Rich Johnson Automotive, 1410 N. Third St. Driving a car the instant it starts in cold weather can, over time, damage the engine, Johnson said. “I think any type of machinery that has an operating temperature like a car does should be close to that desired operating temperature when it’s running,” he said. “When there’s super cold weather and a person starts their car at zero degrees it takes time for lubrication to happen in all the vital areas.” The best option, unfortunately, is for drivers to brave the cold, Anguiano said. Because aside from trying to avoid giving thieves the opportunity to steal a car, it’s also illegal in the state of Kansas for motorists to leave their vehicle unattended and running. “It’s a standard traffic offense,” Anguiano said. “Unless you have a remote start, then it’s fine.” Fortunately motorists don’t have to brave the cold for too long, Johnson said. Just a few minutes is all a vehicle needs to get the fluids pumping normally. “I don’t think it’s necessary for them to be running for 15 minutes, but when I start my cars up I’ll let them sit for five minutes or so,” he said. “It’s also for creature comforts. I want to be in a warm car.” — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284 or cswanson@ljworld.com.

HERE APARTMENTS ARE SHOWN UNDER CONSTRUCTION FRIDAY, as seen looking east from near Memorial Stadium. The developer is seeking permission from the city to allow residents to move into the apartments before the required number of parking spaces can be built.

Parking CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

to get two rounds of approval from the city. “It is definitely between a rock and a hard place right now,” said Sandra Day, the city planner working on the project. “It’s a tough situation.” HERE’s new parking concept at 1101 and 1115 Indiana St. leaves the complex with 69 fewer spaces than planned and 25 fewer than what’s required by city law. City staff is recommending a parking waiver be denied and that the complex not be filled to capacity until it has the spaces to support the number of residents. If the City Commission agrees and rejects the waiver, 23 bedrooms of the 624-bedroom project would have to remain empty until more parking spaces are secured. “Parking has been the one issue through the entire project that has been a known concern,” Day said. “Parking is tight. It’s a significant issue in the neighborhood.” The automated parking garage, which would have been the first in the state, would have used lifts and tracks to park cars without the assistance of motorists. The developers’ new plan includes doing away with the automation and having valets stack cars in the garage. Because construction is well underway, it’s not feasible to add ramps to the garage, so developers are proposing adding an entrance off 11th Street that would provide access to the garage’s top floor. “It’s the same kind of system, it’s just that now, it’s being operated by humans,” Day said. “This is kind of making the best of the situation that they have.” Developers have also submitted plans for a

traditional parking garage at 1137 Indiana St., which is currently the site of an apartment building owned by a group led by Lawrence resident Ed Carter. The garage, south of HERE, would have 96 parking spaces — enough to meet the city’s residential parking quota as well as the number required for those using the 13,000 square feet of retail space on the development’s lower floors. But that parking structure must go through several levels of approval before the City Commission considers it. The property would have to be rezoned to a mixed-use zoning designation. Day said the issue is tentatively scheduled to go before the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission in February, but because the property is in a historical area, the Historic Resources Commission must also provide input. While developers work to secure approval for the off-site parking garage, it’s requesting that the city allow a temporary deficiency in parking that would let HERE fill the apartments in time for Kansas University’s fall 2016 semester, even without the required number of spaces. That request is what city commissioners will decide Tuesday. Developers are not asking that it receive a waiver for its lack of parking to accommodate the project’s retail uses. According to a city memo, HERE has agreed to not lease the retail space until more parking is secured. If the City Commission does not want to allow a parking waiver, HERE is asking that it be permitted to purchase 25 nearby spaces from KU, which would bring the number of spaces up to what’s required to fill the 624 bedrooms. In 2014, the previous City Commission rejected HERE’s idea to cut a deal with KU that would

allow residents to offsite, university spaces. It was denied after residents in the area voiced their opposition, saying KU parking was already spilling into the neighborhood. Parking for the project has been a topic of contention since its beginning. The previous City Commission also turned down in 2014 a proposal to reduce the size of the parking garage by 100 spaces, which developers said was feasible because they estimated 30 percent of residents wouldn’t have cars. Day said the City Commission has three options on Tuesday. The first option, and the one recommended by city staff, is to not allow occupancy for all of the project’s commercial spaces and 23 bedrooms until the number of parking spaces meet city code. Commissioners’ second option is to not allow occupancy of the commercial spaces but permit full occupancy of the apartments. The third is to not allow occupancy for the commercial spaces and allow full occupancy of the apartments only if the developers secure 25 spaces from KU. Tuesday will be the first instance the current City Commission makes a decision on the HERE development — a project that created debate about what types of projects should receive economic development incentives. The previous City Commission voted 3-2 to approve an 85 percent, 10-year tax rebate for the project that fell short of the 95 percent, 12-year tax rebate that the development group had sought. The City Commission will meet at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can be reached at 832-7144 or nwentling@ljworld.com.

School board to vote on $300K playground redo By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

At its meeting today, the Lawrence school board will vote on whether to authorize a $300,000 renovation of the Ryan Gray Playground for All Children located at Hillcrest Elementary School, 1045 Hilltop Drive. The accessible playground is more than 20 years old and, based on its condition, it is being recommended that it be relocated and reconstructed on the Hillcrest site. The playground equipment,

surface and the surrounding landscaping would be replaced or improved. The playground was built in 1993 in honor of Ryan Gray, a former Hillcrest student who had disabilities and who died in 1990. The park featured a flat, rubber surface and special play equipment — including slides and swings — that could be used by children in wheelchairs. The Lawrence school district will pay half the costs for the improvements. Please see PLAY, page 4A Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photos

Marathon clubs get modern update

As soon as temperatures get in the 30s they’ll be out there: students running the blocks around their schools. They’re all notching miles in their own personal marathon, and soon keeping track of their goals will be easier. Once the Lawrence school district’s marathon clubs get started again — likely toward the end of February — volunteers won’t have to note the distance with tallies on paper or mark runners’

hands as they pass by. Instead, club volunteers will be able to electronically track students’ progress toward a marathon (about 26 miles). The district received a grant to purchase an electronic system, and officials said it will simplify the work of volunteers. “It does all of that for you so it’s a nice way to help manage and keep track,” said Denise Johnson, the district’s curriculum coordinator for health and wellness. “Everybody Please see MARATHON, page 4A

still have a full weekend. But it is also somewhat controversial because, even though most lawmakers are not present, and little if any work gets done, it still counts as a legislative day, thus lawmakers receive their daily salary of $88.66, plus their subsistence allowance of $109 per day for expenses such as meals and lodging. Under state law, lawmakers receive that amount each calendar day of the session except “during any period in which the Legislature is adjourned for more than two

days, Sundays excepted.” At the end of the first week of the session, lawmakers took off Friday, thus turning a three-day weekend into four days because of the Martin Luther King Day holiday. And by taking off Friday, they turned the week into a three-day work week. A small number of legislators did show up Friday for a meeting of the KanCare Oversight Committee.

that volunteers and students can use to monitor progress, Johnson said. But Johnson said the goal of the club isn’t just running. At the middle school level, some clubs have the same concept but are called walk and talk clubs. At either level, Johnson said there will be kids who come to run and others who walk with their friends or family members. “Some kids would get out there and be very goaloriented, wanting to run,” she said. “Some just want to be out there with their friends. It has a social feel to it as well as a sense of accomplishment.” The grant is also driving an effort to communicate better among all the clubs, Johnson said. Meetings

will be held a couple times per year so volunteers can share ideas or coordinate T-shirt orders or other prizes for students when they complete a marathon. As clubs get better established, they’ll need more people, Johnson said. “What we need is people volunteering,” she said. “It really could be a really fun neighborhood thing.” Brandy Brandt is a parent volunteer at the Hillcrest Elementary School Marathon Club. Volunteers can be parents or just live in the neighborhood near schools, and duties include checking kids in and out or working as a course monitor. The monitors walk the route or stand at turns and crossings, but Brandt said they offer

encouragement as well as ensure students’ safety. “A lot of the time, if I’m the one out there doing that I high-five the kids,” she said. “One lady plays some music and kind of dances around, but some just come out and walk along with the kids.” A meeting for current volunteers and those interested in volunteering will be scheduled early next month. The date of the meeting will be posted on the district’s Marathon Clubs page at USD497.org, which also lists contact information for each school’s club for those who would like to get involved.

A committee for the playground has agreed to raise money for the other half by seeking donations and grant funding through the Lawrence Schools Foundation. The bid for the project is about $247,000, but district administration is

Wichita State battles bed bugs in dorms

Wichita — Wichita State University and a dormitory resident whose room is infested with bed bugs are at odds over who should pay an exterminator for a second round of treatments. Freshman Londyn Bobbitt said she first found bed bugs in her Fairmount Towers dorm room back in November.

He said the center will house a new veterans lounge along with offices student veterans need to deal with academic and GI Bill paperwork. The university wants to be a national leader for comprehensive student veteran programming, according to a KU news release about the director search. The leader of the new center will be tasked with developing programming for “the four phases of the student veteran: recruitment, admissions and first-year experience, persistence to degree, and career services.”

Wichita State housing director Scott Jensen said the pest control company is “very confident” that its chemical and heat treatment eradicated the bugs the first time. He said this is the first incident of bed bugs on campus over the past two years.

owntown bakery Great Harvest Bread Co. has new owners and also several new offerings. Longtime Baker Bob Garrett — known by many as Baker Bob — sold the store at 807 Vermont St. in early December. The motherdaughter duo of Marty Peterson and Sarah Burtch have bought the business. “I’ve always enjoyed baking, and who doesn’t love bread?” said Burtch, the daughter in the duo. Burtch — who has been a longtime customer of Great Harvest — said the store is keeping the favorite recipes and bread varieties that have made the shop popular since its opening in the mid-1990s. The shop still makes about a dozen varieties of bread per day but plans to have more of a rotational menu to entice shoppers to try more seasonal offerings too. Among the new offerings are a dessert called a Savannah bar, which is a fruit streusel bar that features different fruits each day. Thus far, fruit combinations have included blueberry, strawberry, caramel apple and others. Also new is something called Popeye bread. It features spinach, red peppers and Parmesan cheese. Also new to the store is a line of organic peanut butter, including something called butter toffee peanut butter. How decadent sounding. As I’ve long said, any food with “butter” in its name twice is a food worth breaking out the fancy stretchy pants for. In addition to peanut butter varieties,

Friend’s health issues are up to her to manage Dear Annie: A friend of mine has Type 2 diabetes and an eating disorder. Recently, she visited the doctor and her blood pressure and blood sugar levels were extremely high. The doctor spoke to her about the consequences of her diet, and after the visit, she spoke to his nurse. She was told that if she keeps her blood sugar under 200, she doesn’t need to worry and the doctor won’t be mad at her. She came away from the visit with a determination to do a better job with her diet. But within a week, she went back to eating the “banned” food items. She tests herself and thinks that levels in the 190s are OK. I have been trying to work with her on her diet. I have introduced her to better food choices. I listen

A devilish twist on cop dramas All stories ask us to suspend disbelief. But “Lucifer” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14) may ask us too much. Why, given all of the time in the world and infinite powers, would Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis, “Merlin”) decide to become a crime-solving sidekick to a Los Angeles homicide detective? Even one as fetching as Chloe (Lauren German, “Chicago Fire”)? If you’re willing to swallow its (DC) comic book premise, “ L u c i fer” offers meager charms. The Britishaccented Lucifer is a suave nightclub operator and catnip to every woman he meets. He has the ability to melt away inhibitions with an intense gaze. This generally involves somebody saying something embarrassing and revealing or wriggling with physical desire to sleep with Lucifer, or both. He’s a kind of demonic James Bond. “Lucifer” is not without its moments, but it’s basically about a Columbo from Hades who bonds with Chloe, the one woman in the universe who appears immune to his charms. The pulp mythology shows up only sporadically in the person of Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside), a winged demon who advises Lucifer to get back where he belongs, a place down below, where all heck is breaking loose in his absence. The series’ rather thin premise is crazy-glued together with borrowed and recycled ideas from other shows, some from this season. Lucifer is a nightclub-owning cad, not unlike John Stamos’ character in “Grandfathered.” The notion of a charmer with special powers annoying a good-looking detective and insinuating himself into her work is basically the plot to “Rosewood.” And as in Fox’s recent “Second Chance,” a death-defying super-creature seems stuck on the classic rock songbook. In “Chance,” Ray karaokes to Creedence. Here, Lucifer’s ultra-trendy club throbs to the 40-year-old sound of David Bowie’s “Fame.” But what’s a few decades to the Devil Himself?

Distracting dress? Once again, the question is raised, “Don’t our legislators have bigger problems to solve?”

aybe the members of the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee are too easily distracted. Or maybe they are paying too much attention to how the women who testify before the committee are dressed. In either case, Sen. Mitch Holmes, R-St. John, decided he needed to take some action to allow the committee he chairs to get on with its work. So on Thursday he issued an 11-point “code of conduct” that included instructions that people speaking to the committee must present themselves in “professional attire.” What has gotten broad attention was Holmes’ specific rule stating, “For ladies, low-cut necklines and miniskirts are inappropriate.” The rules included no specific requirements for men, which prompted one commenter on ljworld.com to declare: “Makes me want to show up to testify wearing a low-cut neckline and miniskirt. That would be fine, of course, because I’m a guy.” Holmes said he had offered more detailed guidance on female attire because he had observed provocatively clad women at the Capitol and believed women testifying in skimpy attire are a distraction to the committee. He said he considered stipulating that men wear suits and ties when addressing his senate committee but decided men didn’t need specific instructions on how to look professional. Well. The response to Holmes’ new rule was swift, including feedback from four female members of the Senate. “Oh, for crying out loud, what century is this?” asked Sen. Laura Kelly, DTopeka. “Who’s going to define low-cut?” said Sen. Vicki Schmidt, R-Topeka. “Does it apply to senators?” The rule included no minimum skirt length or maximum neckline depth, but apparently Holmes has some limit in mind. It’s unclear, however, how the chairman plans to enforce his new rule — or even if he’ll let the rules stand, given the negative attention they have drawn. Anyone who speaks before a legislative committee should be aware that they way the present themselves — including the way they are dressed — can affect how their testimony is received. Expecting such people to wear professional attire isn’t unreasonable, but trying to set specific standards for that attire and specifically focusing on short skirts and plunging necklines just makes Chairman Holmes look silly.

Iran pact has spurred little change Now that the Iran nuclear deal is a done deal, what next? More quickly than expected, Tehran has dismantled large portions of its nuclear program, leading to the lifting of the sanctions imposed on its nuclear activities. Contrary to the critics, this deal does make the Mideast safer — for now. But it also raises the controversial question of whether the deal will trigger a broader shift in U.S.-Iranian relations. The quick release of 10 U.S. sailors who strayed into Iranian waters and a prisoner swap have been hailed by administration officials as the beginning of a new era in the relationship. Would that this were true. But it’s not. “To me, this is a transactional relationship, not transformational, just like the United States and the Soviet Union negotiated pretty good arms agreements,” says Ryan Crocker, a former ambassador to Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan who has experience negotiating with the Iranians. The point is well taken: The nuclear accord is unlikely to improve the broader U.S.-Iranian relationship. On the contrary, it could get much worse. “It’s great that we have a phone number to call,” Crocker told me in a phone interview. His reference was to the close relationship that has developed between Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, which some have taken to calling 1-800-Zarif. That relationship

None of this means the arms accord was a mistake … But it does mean that the administration must stop giving the impression it will no longer stand up to malign Iranian behavior in the region because it fears jeopardizing the nuclear accord …” helped to quickly resolve the incident with the sailors and to finally obtain the release of Iranian-Americans, including Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian. “But I don’t see any sign that Iran is going to change its policies in the region,” Crocker added. “We need to make it clear that this is not a bold new dawn.” Things might have been different if the foreign policy file were truly in the hands of Zarif, a sophisticated diplomat who did graduate studies in the United States. Or if his government boss, President Hassan Rouhani, had final say on foreign policy issues. Both men are patriots, eager to see their country prosper and resume

its rightful place in the international order; they might have been more open to real negotiations, say, on resolving the Syrian conflict and stabilizing Iraq. But the real power in Iran lies in the hands of the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who made clear his continuing and intense distrust of Washington. Khamenei has emphasized that negotiations over the nuclear talks were unrelated to any other issues. Moreover, the Iraq-Syria file is in the hands of Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force, whose world view was shaped by Shiite Iran’s decade-long war with Sunni Iraq, in which he served on the front lines. Saddam Hussein started that war, and was backed by Saudi Arabia and the United States. That experience leaves Soleimani with little interest in the kind of political compromise between Shiites and Sunnis in Syria that would be necessary to end the fighting. Iran will not stop supporting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad (nor will it stop sending anti-Israel arms to its ally, Hezbollah, in Lebanon, via Damascus). Thus, any administration hopes that a new relationship with Iran will translate into progress on shaky Syria peace talks are badly misplaced. The same caution holds true in Iraq, where a Shiiteled government needs to make a place for the Sunni minority in the system if it wants to stabilize the country. Soleimani, and Iran’s lo-

cal Iraqi Shiite proxies, have blocked that approach. None of this means the arms accord was a mistake (whether the terms or the enforcement mechanisms could have been tighter is another question). Iran was getting very close to breakout capacity — the point where it would have had enough fissile material for a bomb — which was a recipe for a war that very likely would have involved America. Iran’s program has now been sharply curtailed for at least a decade. But it does mean that the administration must stop giving the impression it will no longer stand up to malign Iranian behavior in the region because it fears jeopardizing the nuclear accord (most Arab Sunnis believe Washington has entered into an alliance with Tehran). It means the White House should back much tougher sanctions in response to recent — or any future — Iranian missile tests in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. It means that the United States should push back much harder against Iranian behavior that fuels sectarian war in the Mideast (the Saudis are guilty of this, too, but that doesn’t excuse egregious behavior by Tehran). “We should do what Iran does,” says Crocker. “Iran is pushing in the region as if there were no nuclear agreement, and they don’t seem worried that they will jeopardize it. We should do the same.” — Trudy Rubin is a columnist and editorial-board member for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Candidates don’t really love America By Leonard Krishtalka

At a February 2015 fundraiser for then Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker, Rudy Giuliani declared that President Obama, because of his policies, didn’t really love America. For Giuliani and the pundits who defended this verdict, policy is proxy for love of country. Well, two major policy issues — the Constitution, and climate change — provide a good pass-fail test of whether the current Republican presidential candidates really love America. Donald Trump might love America, but it’s a distant second to himself. Worse, even the conservative media (Fox News, Forbes, National Review) concluded that Trump doesn’t love the U.S. Constitution after he summarily Krishtalka pronounced the 14th Amendment to be, yes, unconstitutional. How so? Its right of citizenship by birth or naturalization applies to all Americans, not just the flavors Donald likes. He’s also ready to junk other basic constitutional rights that guarantee Americans will not be deprived of “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” No wonder Russia’s Vladimir Putin praises Trump as a soulmate. Both lead the whoppertelling contest. And both love the big A: the one in Autocracy, not America. Not to be outdone, Cruz, Carson, Huckabee, Paul and Santorum regurgitated Trump’s view of the Constitution as a restaurant menu: keep this amend-

YOUR TURN ment, send that one back to the kitchen. Ditto their attitude toward science: Accept the facts you like, veto the ones you don’t. It’s doubtful that’s how they’d treat a medical diagnosis from their physician. Yet, faced with the overwhelming diagnosis that humans are propelling global warming, they intone the veto speech: “Well, I’m not a scientist, but ...” Hello? If you’re not a climate scientist, ASK ONE! If Trump, Cruz and company really love America, they’d ask their own Department of Defense, which ranks climate change among the top global threats to American national security: drought, hunger, massive coastal flooding, virulent disease, civil and regional wars, millions of refugees, anarchy, and economic havoc. Or they’d ask NASA, or NOAA, whose sensors in space, on land and on the oceans register the perilous effects of global warming on America’s air, water and soil, our croplands and wildlands, our coastal cities, and on weather-related disasters. But, rather than asking, listening and learning, they trash talk, blithely wishing climate change away as liberal propaganda, or scientific conspiracy. Or, according to Marco Rubio, “God’s will.” Even if the scientists are right, he says, “for all we know, God wants the Earth to get warmer. (If) it pleases Him to see half of Manhattan under water or Miami wiped out completely, then we cannot stand in His way.” Really? That must be news to Pope Francis, who recently lamented climate change as Earth’s “physical ailment,” its “painful disfigurement.” Perhaps the pope

will inform Rubio that defaulting to God as an excuse to do nothing constitutes neither reverence nor leadership. What part of America do these candidates love? Apparently not the vulnerable cities, people and economies along the coasts of Florida, the Carolinas, the Northeast, California,and the Pacific Northwest. Or the breadbasket “red states,” which will suffer more intense heat waves, more drought in dry areas, more rain and floods in wet areas, and a dustbowl agricultural economy. Or Alaska, where an average three-degree heat rise has brought drought, wildfires, insect infestations and devastated forests. The permafrost, which underlies 80 percent of Alaska, is thawing, with consequent upheaval of roads, buildings, bridges, dams and homes, and release of toxic pollutants. And thousands of Native American communities are being driven to extinction as their lifeblood of fresh water, fisheries, and animal game disappears. Rubio, Cruz, Trump and company invoke Ronald Reagan but don’t follow his lead. Despite Reagan’s personal uncertainty whether CFCs were destroying the ozone layer, he asked the chemical industry to fashion a plan nonetheless — an insurance policy — just in case science turned out to be right. Which it did. Memo to the candidates: Trade in the trash talk for mature, civil, thoughtful debate. Heed your own country’s DoD, NASA and NOAA warnings about climate change. And honor your own country’s Constitution. — Leonard Krishtalka is director of the Biodiversity Institute and a professor in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology at Kansas University.

OUTSIDERS’ MOMENTUM BUILDS AS IOWA LOOMS Just days before caucuses, Bloomberg hints he could run Erin Kelly USA TODAY

With just a week left until the Iowa Caucus, “outsider” presidential candidates Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders appeared to be building momentum over “establishment” candidates, and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg hinted he might enter the race as an independent. The influential Des Moines Register on Saturday night endorsed former secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio in the Republican race, rejecting Trump and Sanders in favor of Rubio’s “optimism” and Clinton’s experience. But Sanders held a narrow lead over Clinton in a CBS Iowa poll released Sunday. In a new Fox News poll, Trump held a sizable lead over Cruz, with Rubio in third place; Cruz had held the lead in the same poll three weeks ago. The CBS poll showed the same top three for the Republicans. The poll results gave new weight to a New York Times report over the weekend that Bloomberg has instructed his advisers to draw up plans for a potential presidential bid and will make a decision by early March. Bloomberg would offer himself as a moderate alternative if it appears likely that Trump or Cruz will win the GOP nomination and Sanders will become the Democratic nominee, the Times reported. Clinton said Sunday that won’t be necessary because she will ultimately win the Democratic nomination. Even if Sanders wins Iowa and New Hampshire — where he is ahead in polls — Clinton’s campaign believes she has the advantage in other early primary states such as South Carolina and Nevada, where her strong support among African-American and Latino voters could help her prevail. “The way I read what he (Bloomberg) said is if I didn’t get the nomination, he might consider it,” Clinton said on NBC’s Meet the Press. “Well, I’m going to relieve him of that and get the nomination so he doesn’t have to (run).” The candidates are continuing to converge on Iowa between now and the Feb. 1 caucus day. Candidates from both parties have scheduled a total of nearly 100 campaign appearances in the state over the next week, according to a list compiled by the Des Moines Register. WASHINGTON

The sun came out, travel bans slowly lifted, and the great dig-out of 2016 was in full force Sunday across much of the East after a brutal, record-setting snowstorm that paralyzed much of the region. The storm rolled off the coast and into the Atlantic, leaving behind clear skies and gusty winds. Baltimore and New York eased their bans on road travel and started revving up public transportation. Washington, D.C.’s transit system was scheduled to remain shut all day Sunday. The region’s airports struggled to handle traffic, and more than 11,700 flights were canceled. It was the biggest snowstorm ever recorded for three cities — Baltimore (29.2 inches), Allentown, Pa. (31.9) and Harrisburg, Pa. (34), the National Weather Service said. New York City picked up 26.8 inches of snow, missing its all-time record by one-tenth of an inch. The city was recruiting laborers to shovel snow for $13.50 per hour. “This was one of the worst storms to ever hit New York City, and we need all hands on deck to dig us out,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said. Broadway was back in business Sunday after shows were canceled Saturday. In Central Park

the mood was festive, with people saying “good morning” and “hello” as they glided on cross-country skis or toted a sled toward a hill. Jermaine Fletcher and Linda Kuo walked arm-in-arm along the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, happy to be out after more than 24 hours holed up indoors. “The snow is pretty,” said Kuo, 33, of Manhattan. “It’s always really pretty the day after.” Washington saw 17.8 inches of snow at Reagan National Airport, the city’s official measurement, while suburban Washington Dulles

Airport was blasted with 29.3 inches. In nearby Arlington, Va., Allie Vasquez, 12, was spending all day in the snow, helping shovel out an elderly neighbor on an unplowed street before sledding with friends. “Snow drifts are 3 or 4 feet deep in some places,” Allie said. “I can barely walk through it. It’s crazy.” More than 50,000 people along the eastern seaboard remained without power Sunday, much-improved from the height of the storm when 250,000 utility customers were affected. South Carolina, where icy conditions prevailed, and New Jersey, hard hit by storm surges during high tides, continued to have the biggest problems with outages. At one point, more than 60 million people had been under warnings for a blizzard, winter storm or freezing rain as the storm roared from Georgia to Massachusetts. At least 29 people died in storm-related incidents, the Associated Press reported. The financial cost of the storm remains to be calculated, but it is going to be in the billions, experts said. “This event has all the makings of a multibillion-dollar economic cost,” said meteorologist Steven Bowen of Aon Benfield, a London-based global re-insurance firm.

Santorum hints at considering end to his campaign He’s at 1.2% in polls days before caucuses Susan Page USA TODAY

URBANDALE , IOWA Four years ago, Rick Santorum won the Iowa caucuses and ended up as the final challenger against Mitt Romney for the Republican presidential nomination. But on Sunday, with a week to go before this year’s Iowa caucuses, he stands at just 1.2% in the RealClearPolitics average of re-

cent statewide polls, the 11th among 11 candidates. In an impromptu interview with USA TODAY and The Des Moines Register after attending services at New Hope Assembly of God here Sunday, he acknowledged what he previously has refused to discuss: It may soon be time for him to think about folding his campaign. “If the people of Iowa put their faith in me, we’re going to continue on,” he said. “Given the circumstances of this race, I don’t think we have to win. We just have to finish ahead of the pack that’s sitting in single digits right now. I think we’re going to come

out with a lot of wind at our back.” And if that doesn’t happen? “You reach a point when you realize that you aren’t going to

accomplish what you’re going to accomplish and you have to look out for the greater good,” he responded a bit ruefully. “And I’ve always believed in the greater good. “I’ll go through that process ... and determine if we have a pathway to get there, and if we believe we do, trust me, no one will fight

harder, no one will work longer. And if we don’t, you have to work out what’s in the best interest of our country,” he said. But Santorum hasn’t thrown in the towel yet. On Saturday, he launched a final campaign swing through the state, with more than 50 events scheduled until the caucuses on Feb. 1. His campaign has announced a “special unveiling” in Iowa City early Monday morning: He’ll don the sweater vest that became his humorous signature in 2012, but had been closeted during this race. “Breaking out the heavy artillery,” an aide said.

After assaults, Cologne must take the high road R.W. Dooley Special for USA TODAY

COLOGNE , GERMANY For nearly a millennium, Cologne has been associated with its Cathedral, its twin spires featured prominently on every imaginable thing — including the ubiquitous tall glasses serving the revered local beer, Kolsch. In the 20th century, the city became known for its easygoing, fun-loving nature, a city of warmth, hospitality and tolerance — and its wild Carnival. Now, this ancient city on the Rhine is famous around the world as a place where gangs of drunk “foreign” men sexually assaulted hundreds of young women and terrorized them while police, outnumbered and unable to intervene, turned the victims away — sending them back to the very men who were victimizing them. It’s heartbreaking — for those women, and for my city. Why here? How did this happen in Cologne? Actually, similar attacks occurred — on a smaller scale — in Hamburg, in Stuttgart and in Austria. And they date as far back as summer 2014, when Swedish police investigated a similar incident at a local festival. “It was a modus operandi that we had never seen before: large groups of young men who surround girls and molest them,” a Stockholm official told U.K. news-

paper The Guardian afterward. “In the cases where we were able to apprehend suspects, they were of a foreign background, newly arrived refugees aged 17-20, who had come to Sweden without their families.” It’s eerie how that echoes the Cologne chief of police after the assaults became public. Still, the horrors of Cologne are of a scale heretofore unheard of in Europe — and New Year’s Eve was perhaps a perfect storm: A large gathering of people, mostly drunk, and police slow to realize what was happening. That’s because Cologne has a very permissive attitude toward public drunkenness, and large groups of drunk young people congregating in and around public squares are not unusual here. The fact that the men responsible for the attacks were largely immigrants is also not a shock. The state of North Rhine Westphalia, in which Cologne is located, has taken by far the largest portion — 20% — of the more than 1 million refugees who arrived in Germany in 2015. It should be no real surprise to anyone that thousands of unemployed, testosterone- and alcoholfueled young men running loose in one of the most open cities in Europe would eventually run amok. That is, of course, not an excuse, but it illustrates with shocking clarity how poorly prepared we were to receive this many people in such a short time period. Sadly, instead of focusing on quickly integrating those here

Policemen in Cologne, Germany, look on as refugees from Syria demonstrate Jan. 16 near the main train station, where hundreds of women were assaulted during New Year’s festivities. now, we are seeing an even starker divide in society over the refugees, more violence and a blame game. The police are under intense scrutiny, and there is talk of prosecuting officers for failures that night. Vigilante groups have taken to the streets to hunt down foreigners because some don’t believe the government is doing enough to protect their wives and children. But prosecuting the police isn’t the answer, and neither is vigilantism. The answer is learning our lessons from these incidents, in order to prevent something simi-

lar in the future. Many of us in Cologne and other German cities do not see the assaults as a justification for reversing Germany’s open-door policy toward refugees. But we do believe that those who committed these crimes should be prosecuted and, if convicted, sent packing. Thankfully, amid all the voices crying out to close the borders, there are those who believe, as I do, that lumping together all recent arrivals with those who committed these acts of violence is simply wrong — and it only serves those who want to ban all refugees from Muslim countries, and

the far-right who would like to kick out anyone they deem a foreigner. I can only hope that we in society, and our officials, will find the courage and wisdom to discuss the issues openly, and a way to balance our decision to deal compassionately with refugees fleeing the horrors of war with the duty to protect the safety of all of us. Only then can the healing of the wounds inflicted on this beautiful city — and our hearts — begin. Dooley is a documentary filmmaker who lives in Cologne.

You’d better bundle up: Blizzards look to be on the rise Research shows storms have doubled in past two decades

Doyle Rice USA TODAY

Snowstorms like the historic blizzard that lashed the East Coast this weekend may be more numerous than they used to be. The number of blizzards each year has doubled in the past two decades, according to preliminary research by geographer Jill Coleman at Ball State University in Muncie, Ind. From 1960-94, the United States averaged about nine blizzards per year. But since 1995, the average is 19 blizzards a year, she said. The increase could stem from better reporting and monitoring of the storms, among other theories, Coleman said. Overall since 1960, more than 700 blizzards have occurred in the U.S., excluding Alaska and Hawaii. For a snowstorm to be classified as a blizzard, it must meet these criteria: Heavy or blowing snow, sustained winds of 35 mph and visibility of one-quarter mile or less — plus all three conditions must persist at least three hours. Washington, D.C., met those three conditions Saturday, according to data compiled by Capital Weather Gang. Coleman said there’s a chance the increase in blizzards could be tied to sunspot cycles. Her research found blizzards tend to increase during periods of low sunspot activity. periods “Sunspot-minimum tend to coincide with more frequent polar outbreaks in the Northern Hemisphere that could increase the likelihood for blizzard occurrence,” Coleman said. “However, sunspot activity is only a

Eight Egyptian museum workers will face disciplinary court for “gross negligence” after they knocked the beard off one of Egypt’s most treasured artifacts, the funerary mask of King Tutankhamun, and then did a clumsy job trying to repair the relic, prosecutors said Sunday. The workers allegedly damaged the mask when they were trying to repair the display lighting at the Egyptian Museum in 2014, according to Daily News Egypt. They used epoxy glue to reattach the beard, and that led to more damage, prosecutors said. A scratch was later found on the mask. “Ignoring all scientific meth-

Ramsey to advise Chicago police

Sanders’ health plan may cost working seniors

Former top cop in Philly, D.C. led cities facing federal probes Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

Mayor Rahm Emanuel has hired one of America’s highprofile, big-city law enforcement officers to advise the embattled Chicago Police Department on civil rights issues. Emanuel said Sunday he picked Charles Ramsey, who recently retired as the Philadelphia Police Department commissioner and previously led the Washington Metropolitan Police Department. Ramsey is uniquely experienced to help guide the Chicago Police Department as it faces a Justice Department civil rights investigation that was launched last month, the mayor said. Ramsey led the Philadelphia and Washington police departments after similar federal probes were launched in those cities. “There is a AFP/GETTY IMAGES sense of urgenCharles Ram- cy,” Ramsey sey was a said in a phone candidate to interview Sunbe Chicago’s day. “They (the police super- Emanuel adintendent in ministration) 2011. know there has got to be some positive movement now.” Before Ramsey left the Philadelphia police last month, the Justice Department praised the department for its progress in implementing changes recommended by the federal probe on deadly force by police in Philadelphia. “Commissioner Ramsey is a not only a national leader in urban policing who has led two major police departments through civil rights reforms — he is also a native Chicagoan who knows our police department and our communities,” Emanuel said. Ramsey will be paid $350 per hour “and will work essentially as a consultant for the forseeable future as CPD continues to rebuild trust in the department,” said Adam Collins, a spokesman for the mayor. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch had announced the civil rights investigation of Chicago police after the court-ordered release of police video that showed an officer shoot 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times.

Bernie Sanders says potential tax increases would be offset by savings from ending high-cost private health insurance plans.

8.5M seniors already eligible for Medicare would get hit with tax hikes in his plan

“There’s going to be a substantial number of seniors who are going to feel like they’re worse off.” John Rother, president of the National Coalition on Health Care

Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Bernie Sanders’ plan to deliver “Medicare for all” may be a good deal for many Americans, but it might be bad for working seniors already enrolled in the government health plan. The Democratic presidential candidate has said his universal health care plan would result in a tax increase, including for middle- and lower-income Americans. But, he argues, that would be more than offset by savings from ending high-cost private health insurance plans. Yet, under his plan, the nation’s 8.5 million seniors over the age of 65 and already eligible for Medicare would also get hit with tax increases. With more of the nation’s baby boom generation working into traditional retirement years, the concern is that the costs to seniors are higher than Sanders’ plan suggests. “Under Bernie’s plan, everybody may well benefit, but there’s going to be a substantial number of seniors who are going to feel like they’re worse off,” said John Rother, president of the National Coalition on Health Care, a nonpartisan coalition aiming to lower health costs. It’s the latest critique to emerge since Sanders released the details of his plan hours before the last Democratic debate in Charleston. Most of the criticism has been that Sanders is promising a massive increase in benefits coverage for all Americans — including for dental, mental health, vision and hearing — while assuming considerable savings that are only vaguely detailed. The concern over the potential impact on working seniors is just one example of problems that arise as details of the plan emerge, critics say. Warren Gunnels, Sanders chief policy adviser, said even working seniors subject to additional taxes stand to save. A senior working past the age of 65 making $50,000 per year would pay less than $840 for their health care,

he said. A 2014 Kaiser Family Foundation report found the average senior pays $4,734 out of pocket for health care costs, meaning they would save more than $3,800 under Sanders’ plan. Additionally, most seniors working past the age of 65 have additional health insurance from their employers that include premiums, deductibles and co-payments. “Every senior citizen in this country with less than $250,000 in income would save thousands of dollars a year,” said Gunnels. “Anyone who claims otherwise is simply not telling the truth,” he said. Still, Austan Goolsbee, former chair of President Obama’s economic council, said the Sanders campaign is being “a little sneaky” about the final tab for taxpayers. Sanders’ plan includes an additional 2.2% income tax for most Americans and a 6.2% payroll tax for all employers, in addition to an estate tax and higher federal rates on the wealthiest Americans. “The Sanders people are just using a sleight of hand,” said Goolsbee, who is supporting Clinton but is not working on her campaign. “They’re only counting the income tax part of the tax increase,” and not the employer tax, he said. “Employers are going to make the employees pay that. If they didn’t, a whole lot of these people would be laid off.” According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, employer tax rate hikes are generally

passed on to workers in the form of lower wages or higher prices. As the race for the Democratic nomination tightens in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire, Clinton and Sanders are dueling over competing visions for expanding health-care coverage. Clinton says Sanders would undo a decade’s worth of Democratic work to expand benefits via Obamacare by pushing a plan that is unworkable and would never pass Congress. She advocates building on Obamacare and pressuring drug companies to lower costs. Sanders says that Obamacare isn’t good enough and that presidents including Franklin Roosevelt have supported a single-payer system that would dramatically lower costs by cutting out insurance companies and forcing pharmaceutical companies to negotiate prices with the government. The Sanders campaign calculates a savings, said Gunnels, for seniors earning $50,000 a year even including the employer tax. Sanders released details of his plan after pressure from Clinton and her allies. One independent analysis, by Gerald Friedman, an economist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, found Sanders proposal would reduce health care spending in the U.S. by $6 trillion over the next 10 years. Sanders says the typical family earning $50,000 a year would save nearly $6,000 annually in health care costs. Yet others, including Goolsbee, say the idea assumes most people will value the health-care benefits they will receive over the tax increases they’ll experience. Goolsbee, who helped craft Obama’s Affordable Care Act and wants to see it continued, estimates the Sanders plan would raise the government share of the economy by $20 trillion over 10 years. “He’s talking about government spending as a share of GDP (gross domestic product) rising dramatically to the levels they are in France, Sweden, Denmark, the big social democracies in Europe, which we’ve never had,” Goolsbee said.

Israel’s former president Shimon Peres was rushed to a hospital after experiencing chest pains, a week after suffering a mild heart attack, his spokeswoman said Sunday night. The 92-year-old statesman had been discharged from a hospital Tuesday. Medics treated Peres at his home and detected an “irregular heartbeat,” after conducting an EKG test, spokeswoman Ayelet Frisch said. “Due to the diagnosis, his doctors decided that the ninth president will spend the night in hospital for observation and testing,” she said. Peres won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 following the signing of the Oslo peace accords with the Palestinians a year earlier, a prize he shared with Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was later assassinated, and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. He completed his seven-year term as president in 2014 and remains in the public eye. — The Associated Press

A manhunt is underway for three inmates considered armed and dangerous after they escaped from a maximumsecurity jail in Southern California, authorities said Sunday. Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens said Sunday that the public should not approach the men if they are spotted, the Associated Press reported. The men escaped Friday from the Orange County Central Men’s Jail in Santa Ana. The sheriff said a separate investigation was launched into how the inmates obtained tools to cut through half-inch steel bars. The inmates also cut through plumbing tunnels and made it to the roof. They then were able to rappel to the ground using some kind of makeshift rope, officials said. It was the first escape from the 900-inmate facility in 20 years, according to sheriff’s Lt. Jeff Hallock. The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a $30,000 reward for information leading to the inmates’ arrest. Hutchens said that reward is in addition to the $20,000 already offered by the FBI. The three inmates are Jonathan Tieu, 20; Hossein Nayeri, phones and other mobile devices during their commute. Metra began installing cellular “hot spots” on a select group of cars, spokesman Michael Gillis said, as part of an 11-car test run, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The governor said that without the deal, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority won’t have enough cash to continue normal operations, increasing the risk of power outages and rate hikes.

Al-Falih also says the potential IPO could take place on local or international markets.

Mid-week panic has given way for buyers to re-enter market Adam Shell USA TODAY

WAS DOW’S DAZZLING REVERSAL THE LOW? From the panic lows hit Wednesday to Friday’s close, the Dow rallied 643 points. The Dow’s 3-day turnaround: 16,200

After a straight down start for stocks in 2016, Wall Street last week finally got the big bounce it had wanted. But the relief rally, while welcomed and much-needed, wasn’t enough for still-shaken bulls to go out on a limb and send a definitive all-clear signal. The good news? The first week of positive returns for U.S. stocks in the new year breaks the bearish spell that’s been hovering over markets — at least for now. Turning the tide was a key reversal to the upside last Wednesday, when the Dow Jones industrial average was in a downward spiral and off 565 points before roaring back and cutting its losses in half. The Dow added gains of 116 points Thursday and 211 points Friday. The takeaway on Wall Street is that panic, pessimism and selling pressure peaked mid-week, paving the way for buyers to re-enter the market and pick up beatendown names and prodding investors that had been betting against the market to stop doing so. While professional investors expressed relief that the bloodlet-

ting had finally stopped, cautious optimism was the message at the upbeat end to another volatile week on Wall Street. John Higgins, chief markets economist at Capital Economics, summed up the mood best in a missive to clients: “While it is too early to sound the all clear, we would not be surprised to see the recovery in stock and energy prices continue.” There are a few things finally working in the market’s favor.

KRIS KINKADE, USA TODAY

Pessimism became extreme, which from a contrarian perspective is bullish. In the week ended Jan. 20, 48.7% of investors polled by the American Association of Individual Investors said they were “bearish,” the most in almost three years. And the percentage of investors that said they are “bullish” dipped to less than 18%, which is even fewer than at the market bottom in March 2009. “There’s an extreme scarcity of bulls,” not-

ed Burt White, chief investment officer at LPL Financial, which “suggests most of the selling may be behind us.” Other bullish factors include: fresh expectations for more monetary stimulus from central banks in Europe and Japan; the big rally in oil, which Wall Street hopes is a signal that energy is near or at a bottom. Analysts also were buoyed Friday by the fact that the Dow was able to regain the key 16,000 level and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index climbed back above 1900. But there’s no denying that the bull has been wounded. Both the Dow and S&P 500 remain in correction territory, or down 10%plus from their highs. In 2016, the Dow is off 7.6% and the S&P 500 is down 6.7%. “There’s been damage to the bullish thesis,” says Tom Lee, founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors. But that doesn’t necessarily mark an end to the bull, nor should investors believe the declines are “irreversible,” he adds. Still, there’s a chorus of pundits who say the investing climate has shifted from a “buy-the-dip” mentality to a “sell the rip (rally)” mind-set. Nor will China’s economic pains go away anytime soon, or the debate on whether the Chinese slowdown will cause a serious slowdown in the U.S.

Earnings get rolling as titans tell all Matt Krantz USA TODAY

Investors are gearing up for a busy week of earnings — and they’ll be looking beyond the numbers. More than 130 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 are scheduled to report their fourthquarter results this coming week, including titans like online retailer Amazon.com (AMZN), social media firm Facebook (FB) and tech giants Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL). It’s still early in the profit season; only 73 S&P 500 companies have reported so far, says S&P Capital IQ. Overall, investors are prepared for a disappointing quarter for profit. Analysts are currently forecasting companies in the S&P

500 to report 5.9% lower fourthquarter adjusted earnings, says S&P Capital IQ. If this forecast is correct, it would be the secondstraight quarterly profit decline since adjusted profit fell 1.4% in the third quarter. Revenue during the fourth quarter is also expected to drop 3.3%, which would be the fourth-straight quarter of lower revenue, says FactSet’s John Butters. Revenue hasn’t dropped this many quarters in a row since the recession of 2009, he says. “It’s been a streak of weak year-over-year performance,” Butters says. Earnings season will be one of the first chances for investors to get corporate data on whether the recent stock market woes are rooted in earnings and revenue problems, or if it’s just speculators causing noise. Stocks are off to one of their worst starts in

history and have sunk into a correction. Investors will be watching for three primary developments, says John Butters of FactSet, including: uFallout from the plummeting price of oil. The price of a barrel of oil has plunged nearly 40% over the past 12 months. This historic freefall in oil prices has sucked the profit out of the wallets of oil companies. Energy companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 are expected to report 72% lower adjusted profit during the fourth quarter. Investors will be looking for companies outside of the energy sector that might gain or lose from the falling oil prices. Both vehicle makers Ford (F) and Harley-Davidson (HOG) report earnings this coming week, and they might have something to say about oil prices.

uDevelopments on the global economy. Investors will be closely watching earnings from multinational companies’ earnings for any clues about economic activity in China and Europe. Fears of an economic slowdown in those parts of the world have put pressure on U.S. stocks. uEffects of the stronger dollar. The strength of the U.S. dollar could be a challenge for some companies that do large amounts of business overseas. There might also be indirect hits, too. Railroad Union Pacific, for instance, said fourth-quarter revenue from its agriculture unit was down 12% due in part to a strong dollar, which reduced U.S. grain exports. Investors aren’t expecting much in terms of earnings. But there will be plenty of other tidbits of great interest to investors to watch.

Hilton’s new brand offers customization to Millennials Nancy Trejos USA TODAY

Hilton Worldwide announced a new affordable brand targeting younger travelers. Tru by Hilton will debut at the end of this year. It will be Hilton’s 13th brand. The company introduced the brand at the Americas Lodging Investment Summit in Los Angeles. The company already has 102 hotels signed. Another 30 properties are in various stages of approval in cities such as Atlanta, Houston and Chicago. “I ultimately think this will be our biggest brand over time,” says LOS ANGELES

HILTON

This is an artist rendering of the lobby of a new Tru brand of hotels by Hilton, which targets Millennials.

Hilton CEO Christopher Nassetta. The move comes as the hotel industry is consolidating, with Marriott International buying Starwood Hotels and Resorts, and AccorHotels acquiring Fairmont,

Raffles and Swissotels. Rather than buy an existing brand, Nassetta says the company preferred to start its own. Nassetta says that 40% of demand for hotel rooms is in the midscale segment, which includes brands such as Comfort Inn by Choice Hotels and Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott. Rates at Tru will vary by location but will be in the $90 to $100 range. The brand will target all age groups but is intended to appeal to a “Millennial” mind-set, Nassetta says. Millennials, those in their 20s and early 30s, tend to like modern design, public spaces where they can work and socialize, and advanced technology

such as mobile check-in. Because of the price point, it will probably attract younger travelers on the road for business and pleasure, he says. “We have a very large swath of demand that indexes very young, and we’re not serving it,” Nassetta says. “There’s an opportunity to build a new brand, if we do it right, that will drive huge demand.” Analysts think the new brand could find a niche. “The midscale chain scale contains many older line limited service brands that have not seen the innovation that a new brand would coming out of the box today,” says Bruce Ford, senior vice president at Lodging Econometrics.

Each hotel will be a new build or a repurposing of an existing property. “We won’t take another hotel brand and rebrand it as a Tru,” says Phil Cordell of Hilton Worldwide. The hotels will cost on average about $85,000 a room to build. Each will typically have 98 rooms over 1.58 acres. Common areas include a 2,776-square-foot space divided into four zones for working, lounging, playing, and eating and drinking. Guests “are very interested in having a great degree of flexibility,” says Alexandra Jaritz, global head of Tru by Hilton. “This idea of having customized experiences is very important to them.”

TRAVEL ASK THE CAPTAIN

Pilots listen for trouble in snowy conditions John Cox

Special for USA TODAY

CARL COURT, GETTY IMAGES

Business travelers who use Uber say they appreciate that they can pre-enter their destination so there’s no confusion.

Uber, Lyft and Airbnb soar in popularity for biz travel Uber rides grew 400% and Lyft grew 700% compared with 2014 Charisse Jones USA TODAY

For the first time, Uber passed car rentals as business travelers’ top mode of choice for getting around town, according to a new report. Expense management company Certify analyzed more than 30 million transactions in 2015 and found that in the fourth quarter, 41% of rides taken by corporate trekkers nationwide were with Uber. That was in comparison with 39% of rides taken in rental cars and 20% of rides in taxis during that three-month period. “It’s a very big shift in spending,” says Robert Neveu, Certify’s CEO, noting that more companies allow ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft to be among their approved vendors

for use on the road. “I think companies are saying, ‘Look, we feel comfortable with the liability and risk in allowing our employees to use these services.’ ... If you’re a ground transportation provider, you’ve got to come up with a solution to compete with this, or you’re going to lose market share.” Uber rides were up more than 400% last year vs. 2014, while ride-hailing company Lyft saw its percentage of rides jump 700% last year compared with 2014. Airbnb, which allows people to rent out their homes, apartments or even a room, is also growing more popular with business travelers. Certify saw a 261% uptick in the number of room nights logged with the service in the USA during 2015. Airbnb appears to be used more by employees working for smaller businesses that may not have a corporate travel department, as well as groups traveling to conventions, Neveu says. “When you have four to five

colleagues going to a conference or trade show together for three or four nights, it’s becoming more commonplace to say, ‘Let’s go to Airbnb and rent a house,’ ” Neveu says. “It can be more affordable. ... But you’re always challenged with

that living situation with your coworkers, so it’s certainly not for everyone.” Several members of USA TODAY’s panel of frequent-flying Road Warriors said they find Uber particularly convenient. “If I have a full day of meetings and am running around New York City or Toronto, it’s so much

easier not to have to deal with money, plus the cars are cleaner than a taxi,” says Ira Gostin, a vice president of a mining company, who lives in Reno. “I have had too many suits ruined in taxis.” He says dealing with a rental car can be a hassle on hectic days jammed with meetings. Rahul Kapur, a New Yorkbased managing director of an executive search and consulting firm, says he uses Uber frequently. “It’s far easier than trying to hail a taxi,” he says. “I know when it’s coming. I can pre-enter my destination, so there’s no confusion, and it’s automatically billed, and (the) receipt goes right to my email for future retrieval for expense reporting.” David Stollman, a Road Warrior who works in the higher education industry and lives in Parkland, Fla., has used Lyft on corporate trips. “Parking rates and car rental prices have gotten so outrageous in major cities that the price and convenience make it a no-brainer,” he says.

Q: In freezing conditions, with ice on the runway, how safe is the anti-skid braking system on a modern jet? Was there any time you rejected a landing due to ice/snow on the runway? — Submitted by reader Robert Clark A: The modern jet’s anti-skid system is very good. I have landed on ice-covered runways many times using the anti-skid system to safely stop the airplane. Pilots listen carefully to other landing airplanes for descriptions of the stopping ability on the runway. Runway conditions can change quickly, requiring judgment and experience by the pilot to determine whether it is safe to proceed. This system has worked very well for many decades to ensure the safety of landing aircraft. Yes, I have rejected a landing due to runway conditions. When an aircraft ahead reported the braking action as nil or very poor, I have diverted to an alternate runway or airport. Q: I have noticed that once a plane lands, certain rear parts of the wings move up and down. What does that do? — Ralph Polanco, Norwalk, Conn. A: You are describing spoilers on the wing. After touchdown, the spoilers rise up from the wing, causing lift production to nearly cease. The weight of the airplane transfers to the wheels, making the braking much more effective and allowing the airplane to stop within the length of the runway. This is particularly important when the runway is contaminated with water, ice or snow. Have a question about flying? Send it to travel@usatoday.com.

How to avoid a vacation rental surprise Doing your homework is essential; these companies can help Christopher Elliott Special for USA TODAY

When it comes to vacation rentals, there are surprises — and there are surprises. Good surprises, such as the one Ana O’Reilly encountered when she checked into a villa in Palm Springs, Calif., are rare. She was dumbstruck to discover the home looked better than the pictures in the listing, which was a first. The refrigerator was stocked with champagne and bottled water, and bowls of M&M’s were left in the kitchen as a welcome snack. “It was incredible,” says O’Reilly, a marketing executive based in London. And there are the not-so-good ones, such as the one encountered by Timothy Trudeau when he rented a home in Santa Barbara, Calif., with his family. After getting settled, he decided to take a dip in the pool. “As we were floating around, I started to notice that the property had small infrared cameras mounted all over the place,” recalls Trudeau, who runs a music industry website in Lemon Grove, Calif. “Suddenly, we went from thinking we had our own little private slice of heaven to thinking we may be starring in some kind of Web reality show that we were unaware of. Super creepy!” Good or bad, you can expect surprises during your next vacation rental, because, well, it’s a vaON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

There are no real standards, as many renters are discovering. cation rental. There are no real standards, as many renters are discovering. One in five Americans stayed in a rental last year, up 27% from 2014, according to a recent survey by Travel Tech, a trade group. For every villa that exceeds expectations, there’s a little shop of reality TV horrors, although Trudeau admits he hasn’t seen any closed-circuit footage of his family vacation online. Companies such as Airbnb close a new round of financing every other week, and HomeAway was acquired by Expedia. It seems the vacation rental industry is poised for another year of major growth. Half of all Americans say they expect to book a short-term rental. How do you make sure you get more good surprises and fewer unpleasant ones? It’s a combination of renting from a trusted source and due diligence. It doesn’t take long, and the rewards can be great. For someone such as Trudeau, who travels with his family, the savings from a vacation rental can be considerable compared with a hotel.

Doing your homework is essential. It involves combing through user-generated reviews, scoping out the property on your favorite mapping site and interviewing the owner — by phone, preferably. If you live nearby, an in-person visit is a must. A reputable owner will let you have a look at the property if it’s unoccupied. What if you live far away? That’s the idea behind WeGoLook, a service that will independently verify the property’s ownership and neighborhood. The company dispatches what it calls a “looker” to take new pictures of the property, street views and neighborhood views, and that person is available to answer questions. Robin Smith, WeGoLook’s CEO, says people usually turn to her inspection service, which costs $69 per report, after a rental problem. Most memorably, one customer came to WeGoLook after renting a property that had a pool without water. There’s no substitute for onthe-ground intelligence, Smith says, “especially when you’re

sending large deposits that can be lost.” Another service that helps you avoid surprises with a “by-owner” rental property is Pillow (pillowhomes.com). Pillow screens the properties it manages, sending a supervisor to interview the owner and ensure the property meets its standards. Those include curtains, kitchen supplies and enough utensils for the maximum number of allowed guests and enough pillows and blankets for each sleeping surface. You can find Pillow listings through HomeAway. “Pillow validates the property for guests,” says Sean Conway, Pillow’s CEO. VaycayHero (vaycayhero.com) promises to help avoid surprises by adding another layer of service: a 24-hour concierge who can mediate any issues between travelers and vacation rental hosts. Among its successes is salvaging one customer’s vacation rental on Hawaii’s Big Island that didn’t have wireless Internet access, which it turns out was a dealbreaker for the guest. VaycayHero’s concierge team quickly arranged for a wireless Internet connection to be installed. How about the professionally managed vacation rentals? There are differences there, too. Companies offer guarantees and promises that the only surprises you’ll find will be positive ones. Wyndham’s Vacation rental bill of rights, for example, promises a guest service team to assist with questions you may have during the booking period, around-theclock maintenance assistance during your stay and access to local representatives “with expertise and knowledge.” The implication is clear: You have the right to a surprise-free rental — specifically, a rental without any negative surprises. In an industry that has precious few standards, it’s nice to

and FlipKey have legitimate rentals and higher standards, says Andrew McConnell, co-founder and CEO of Rented, a vacation rental marketplace. “Stick to trusted and verified brands,” he advises. “It’s your best bet for avoiding unpleasant surprises.”

uAssume nothing.

Every vacation rental comes with linens, right? Wrong. Ryan Lockhart discovered that when he rented a house in North Carolina. When he checked in — surprise! — no linens! “I had to drive 45 minutes each way to buy linens from Walmart, which we had to wash and dry before we could even sleep,” remembers Lockhart, who owns a digital marketing agency in Bluffton, S.C.

uNever wire money. “Do not pay for a vacation rental with cash, money orders, Western Union or other money transferring services,” advises Isaac Gabriel, founder of the online timeshare rental portal EZ Resort Vacations. Wiring money can lead to the most unpleasant surprise of all: A rental that doesn’t even exist.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Brian Truitt USA TODAY

History’s original bad boy is back. For those who think the devil is evil incarnate, Fox is introducing pop culture to a different, very un-biblical version of Satan with Lucifer, premiering Monday. Tired of ruling the underworld, fallen angel Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis)takes up residence in Los Angeles as a suave and charming club owner and helps homicide detective Chloe Dancer (Lauren German) catch bad guys. He’s not a hero, he’s not a villain, and the show aims to play on the preconceived notions of the most infamous fallen angel of God’s heavenly host. “Is he intrinsically evil or is it just because his dad decided he was, in the grand order of things?” Ellis says. “For him to go on and represent evil to humanity for the rest of time is a huge chip he bears on his shoulder.” Executive producer Joe Henderson compares the show’s Lucifer, based on the character from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman comic books, to all of us in our teen years. “He told Dad, ‘Hey, stop telling me what to do,’ and Dad said, ‘Fine, go to hell,’ where he’s been stuck for a while,” Henderson says. “Now he’s like: ‘You know what? No. I’m gonna go my own path, and if Dad doesn’t like it, too bad.’ ” Lucifer wants to act on his desires, but he has a way with people that makes them reveal their

deepest inner cravings. Though he can have his way with most women , Lucifer doesn’t seem to have any control overChloe, a female cop who also has some baggage: She’s a former actress whose one nude scene is the only reason anyone recognizes her. Even though Lucifer’s zany and inappropriate, “she really respects him,” German says. “He’s also the only person in her life who pushes her to come out of her uptight, by-the-book ways.” Plus, she says, “his character is completely magnetic. Men want to be him. Women want to be with him.” Henderson jokes that it’s all in Ellis’ British accent, but the Welsh actor agrees that it helps in

striking the right balance between Lucifer the punisher and Lucifer the playful muse. “He speaks like a character from an old Oscar Wilde play at times, that kind of vibe, but he’s also infused with this huge rock ’n’ roll spirit and heart,” Ellis says. “I used the idea of Noel Coward and Mick Jagger’s love child when I was dancing around with how to do this.” The procedural aspect of Lucifer and teaming Ellis’ supernatural antihero with a cop lets him “experience humanity in a way he hasn’t when he’s just been drinking and carousing and having a good time,” Henderson says. But after ruling hell for so long — where he’s wanted back ASAP — Lucifer and his more malevolent side are never far away for those needing to take responsibility for bad behavior.

It’s fitting that a grueling survival movie would endure a weekend box office decimated by winter storm Jonas. Leonardo DiCaprio and The Revenant pulled through the elements, earning $16 million to take No. 1 after a historic blizzard closed cinemas on the East Coast. It’s the first time in The Revenant’s five weekends in theaters (its third nationwide) that the movie has topped the box office. It has a haul to date of $119.2 million. “Studios often blame poor weekends on bad weather, but that was truly the case during Jonas. It was a big deal for a number of movies,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak. “But The Revenant did something astonishing this weekend taking the top spot with this intense wilderness epic. It’s flourishing.”

million ($59.1 million total). The rest of the Jonas-affected slate included several newcomers, which already had modest expectations typical of January releases. Zac Efron and Robert De Niro’s spring break comedy Dirty Grandpa sputtered into fourth with $11.5 million in its opening weekend. The R-rated movie did not screen early for critics and was beaten up in reviews. It scored a paltry 8% favorable critical rating on the aggregate movie review

site RottenTomatoes.com and a B audience grade on CinemaScore. Horror film The Boy rounded out the top five with $11.3 million in its opening weekend, pulling a heavily Latino (41%) and female (62%) audience. The Boy, made on a budget of less than $10 million, scored a 29% critical rating on RottenTomatoes.com and a B minus on CinemaScore. Chloë Grace Moretz’s sci-fi fantasy The 5th Wave opened in sixth with $10.7 million. Moretz told East Coast fans on Twitter not to brave the elements to see the young-adult film, based on the books by Rick Yancey. The 5th Wave sputtered with a 19% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes.com and a B minus on CinemaScore. “Jonas had an impact on what would already have been some bland January openings, including Dirty Grandpa,” says Jeff Bock, box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. “The Boy cost $10 million, so it will be fine. The 5th Wave was disappointing; Sony had hoped to start a franchise with this film, and you can’t do that with a $10 million opening.” Final numbers are expected Monday.

Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos will face Cam Newton’s Carolina Panthers in the 50th Super Bowl — which many expect to be the final game of Manning’s career. Denver (14-4) edged the New England Patriots 2018 for the AFC title Sunday, before Carolina (17-1) ran away with a 49-15 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC. At 39, Manning — the only five-time MVP in league history — is the oldest starting quarterback to lead a team to the Super Bowl. He is 1-2 in the big game, winning with the Colts in 2007, then losing with the Colts in 2010 and losing with the Broncos in 2014. The Feb. 7 game at Santa Clara, Calif., will be the Broncos’ record-tying eighth Super Bowl, the Panthers’ second.

Loving parents Fred and Carol Hoiberg drove their daughter, Paige, a senior basketball and track standout at Gilbert (Iowa) High, to Lawrence to check out Kansas University’s campus on a college recruiting trip in November of 2014. Fred, Iowa State’s fifthyear basketball coach, happened to inform KU coach/

friend Bill Self that the family would be in town. “I said, ‘Why don’t you just come to practice?’” said Self, a father of two himself, who knows proud papas want their children to make the correct college choice. “Hoiberg’s in our practice, and our guys are going, ‘Coach, why’s HE here? Why are you letting HIM in here?’” Self reflected with a laugh. “I said, ‘Because his daughter, I think, is going to come

to school here,’” Self added, noting the Hoibergs only stayed for “minutes, seconds” at the KU workout and that no intimate team secrets were revealed. Paige Hoiberg did indeed choose to attend KU over Iowa State and currently is a Jayhawk freshman who works in the KU basketball office part-time doing a variety of support-staff type jobs. “We welcome Paige. She’s very bright. She’s been a nice

addition to our office. It is unique but not near as unique as if Fred was still coaching at Iowa State,” Self said. Fred Hoiberg, who starred as a high-scoring guard at both Ames High and Iowa State, left ISU after a handful of seasons as head coach last June to become coach of the NBA’s Chicago Bulls. His successor, Steve Prohm, is the man who will lead the Please see HOIBERG, page 3C

KU-ISU rivalry to resume tonight By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Ames, Iowa — Iowa State senior forward Georges Niang has been involved in some epic basketball battles with Kansas University the past three years. He has won three games — lost six — while pestering the Jayhawks on both the outside — where the 6-foot-8 senior forward can swish threes

Today, Niang will try to

The Charlotte Observer

Charlotte, N.C. — One reason Chiefs safety Eric Berry fast-tracked his recovery from Hodgkin lymphoma before this season was because he believed the Chiefs could make it to the Super Bowl. His team came up short of that goal, as it lost to the New England Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs, but Berry’s individual performance this season was a rousing success, and for that, he’s been named the Pro Football Writers of America’s 2015 comeback player of the year.

Melbourne, Australia (ap) — Victoria Azarenka couldn’t get off court quickly enough to check the score after reaching the Australian Open quarterfinals. To her excitement, it was a Broncos win. The two-time Australian Open champion had just beaten Barbaro Strycova 6-2, 6-4 in the fourth round early today — continuing a three-year sequence of wins against the Czech player that started in the second round in 2013 and included the third round last year — when she wanted to know the result of the AFC title game. “Can somebody please tell me, did Broncos win?” she said, taking over her on-court TV interview. When she heard the Denver Broncos had beaten the New England Patriots 2018, she shouted “Yesss!!” — stepping back and raising both arms, “I’m so happy now.” “I was so nervous the whole morning, I didn’t watch. I didn’t want to know the result,” she said. “As you can see I’m a crazy sports fanatic, so I understand you guys when you get all nervous and stuff, because I felt that.” Peyton Manning’s Broncos will face Cam Newton’s Carolina Panthers in the 50th Super Bowl. Azarenka has already shown some allegiance to Newton and the Panthers, doing her version of the “dab” in her victory celebrations. Told of the Panthers’ win over the Cardinals in the NFC decider, Azarenka said “Well then, it’s going to be my dream final, I can’t wait to see that.” Azarenka is coming off two injury-interrupted seasons, but is returning to the kind of form that took her to the No. 1-ranked and back-to-back Australian Open titles in 2012 and ‘13. She won the Brisbane International leading into the first major of the season, and dropped only five games in her first three rounds at Melbourne Park. Next up she faces No. 7 Angelique Kerber, who beat fellow German Annika Beck 6-4, 6-0 in the preceding match on Rod Laver Arena. Kerber, who saved match point in her first-round win over Misaki Doi, is into the quarterfinals for the first time in nine trips to Melbourne Park. In later fourth-round matches on Rod Laver fourth-seeded Stan Wawrinka, the French Open and 2014 Australian Open champion, was playing big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic and No. 2 Andy Murray, a four-time finalist at Melbourne Park, was set to face No. 16 Bernard Tomic, the last Australian in the draw.

Dufner escapes with CareerBuilder victory La Quinta, Calif. — Jason Dufner made two great escapes. The first, from Alcatraz, no less. David Lingmerth got no such reprieve at PGA West’s punishing TPC Stadium Course. Dufner won the CareerBuilder Challenge with a par on the second hole of a playoff Sunday, taking advantage of Lingmerth’s shot that bounced off the jagged rocks and into the water. In regulation on the island-green 17th called Alcatraz, Dufner — tied with Lingmerth for the lead — pulled his 8-iron tee shot and thought it bounced into the water. Instead, it settled into a small sandy area between some of the tangled rocks that circle the green. “I was like, ‘Man, this is a great break I’m going to take advantage of it,’” Dufner said. “‘This is what I need. I need this right now. I need this break to happen. I’m confident with what I can do with this shot and I need to make this happen and get a par.’” He hooked a chip that struck the flagstick and stopped inches away. Dufner finished with a 2-under 70 to tie Lingmerth at 25-under 263. Lingmerth shot a bogey-free 65, matching the best score of the day on the difficult course that was used in the tournament for the first time since being dropped after its 1987 debut. The 38-year-old Dufner won for the fourth time on the PGA Tour and first since the 2013 PGA Championship.

Fowler takes Abu Dhabi Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates — Rickie Fowler won the Abu Dhabi Championship for his fourth worldwide victory in nine months, shooting a 3-under 69 in his final round Sunday to win by one stroke from playing partner Thomas Pieters. Fast-finishing Rory McIlroy (68) and Henrik Stenson (67) tied for third. Fowler’s victory was tighter than expected, with the American holding a four-shot lead after six holes at Abu Dhabi Golf Club. That was trimmed to one on No. 7 after thinning a shot through the green out of sandy wasteland and making double-bogey, but he chipped in for eagle from 30 yards from a greenside bunker on No. 8 to move clear again. Pieters emerged from a congested pack to chase Fowler all the way. Fowler holed from just off the 17th green for a birdie to take a two-shot cushion down the last, but Pieters made a birdie — he missed his eagle putt by an inch — to leave Fowler two putts to win from 12 feet. He needed both of them. “I had a lot of fun going toe to toe with Thomas Pieters,” Fowler said as he held the

Falcon Trophy near the 18th green. “This was my first full field in 2016 and is a great way to start.” The win is likely to lift Fowler’s ranking from No. 6 to No. 4, which will spark talk about whether he should be included in the conversation with the so-called “Big Three” of Jordan Spieth, Jason Day and McIlroy as golf looks ahead to a hectic, exciting 2016.

New York — New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Anquan Boldin and New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson are the three finalists for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award. The winner will be announced during NFL Honors, a two-hour prime-time special airing nationally on CBS on Feb. 6, the night before the Super Bowl. A $55,000 donation will be made in the winner’s name to a charity of his choice, and the two runners-up will receive an $11,000 donation. The other 29 team finalists received a $5,000 donation. The finalists were chosen by a panel of judges comprised of Commissioner Roger Goodell, former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, sports writer Peter King, Connie Payton — widow of Walter Payton — and former players Anthony Munoz and LaDainian Tomlinson and last year’s winner, Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis.

OU QB switches to baseball Norman, Okla. — Backup quarterback Cody Thomas is leaving Oklahoma’s football team to focus on baseball. The school announced the decision Sunday. Football coach Bob Stoops says the team supports Thomas and hopes for the best for him. Thomas, a sophomore, played in three games last season, completing one of three passes. As a red-shirt freshman in 2014, he played in seven games and made three starts. He completed 30 of 66 passes for 342 yards and two touchdowns and rushed 23 times for 141 yards and one TD. Thomas played on Oklahoma’s baseball team in 2014 as an outfielder. He appeared in 14 games, starting one, and had one hit in 12 at-bats. Baseball coach Pete Hughes says Thomas approached him and asked about trying out for the team. Hughes calls Thomas “a quality kid and great competitor.”

biggest thing is, I feel it’s a renewed rivalry the last couple years. I think it’s great for both programs,” Niang added. Niang, who averages 19.3 points and 6.4 boards his senior season for the Cyclones (15-4, 4-3), was a high school teammate of KU junior Wayne Selden Jr. at Tilton School in New Hampshire. “Yeah, that’s my guy. That’s my brother. I’ll always be close with him,” Niang said, speaking to the Journal-World at Big 12 Media Day. “He’s a great guy. When I talk to him, it’s beyond basketball. I try to stay away from talking basketball. I try to just ask him how he’s doing, how his family is doing and what’s going on with him.” Selden respects prolific scorer Niang, who has hit 52.8 percent of his shots, 39.5 percent of his treys (32 of 81) in 2015-16. “He can stretch the defense and has great touch inside,” Selden said. “He can put it on the floor. Inside and out, he has a real feel for the game.” KU coach Bill Self likes to seek out Niang and joke with him at events such as Media Day. “I told him I was a little bummed out I didn’t get invited to Late Night at the Phog. He told me I’d never get invited to that, so I guess that’s that,” Niang said. “He’s a good guy, a good sport. He’s a lot of fun to be around off the court. “He definitely has a respect for me. I respect that because I have a ton of respect for him in what he’s done. He’s a great human being and a great coach. I appreciate all the respect he’s shown me.” Of Niang, Self said: “He’s terrific, one of my favorite players in the league, without question. He’s probably as tough a matchup as there is.” KU is 9-3 at Hilton in the Self era, losing last season’s game, 86-81.

2015-16 Cyclones against KU at 8 tonight in Hilton Coliseum in Ames. “My dad is actually the one who suggested I visit here. He thought I would like everything here. He always respected Allen Fieldhouse. He thinks it’s the craziest arena he played in,” Paige Hoiberg said, seated on a sofa in a lounge in the KU basketball office. “They (her parents) could tell I really liked it, because I visited other colleges. Here felt right,” Paige Hoiberg added. “Everyone here is so nice. I love everyone here. I’d just been there for so long. I kind of wanted a different view of everything.” Paige, who averaged a team-leading 13.6 points a game her senior year at Gilbert (located seven miles from Ames), considered trying out for KU’s women’s team as a nonscholarship walk-on. “My dad told me he wanted me to, but I decided I’d rather just be a student,” Paige said. So she accepted coach Self’s offer to have her work in the hoops office. She’s enjoying her first school year here immensely. “They (KU coaches

That UAB loss (in NCAA Round of 64) obviously stung (ISU was seeded 3, UAB 14). Why would I give up an opportunity to be with these guys and be able to compete for championships this year? That’s something I didn’t want to pass up, and I feel I wasn’t ready for the next level just yet.” l

Road record: KU is 1-2 in Big 12 road games so far this season. “If you can go 5-4 on the road, you’ve had a helluva year — 4-5 would be a helluva year,” Self said. “Certainly we’re not off to a great start this year. The really good teams we’ve had ... you knew when you went on the road, if you played well, you’d win, and chances were, four of five you were going to play well.

Road victory for Cyclones: Iowa State won at TCU, 73-60, on Saturday to improve to 2-2 on the road in league games. “I haven’t heard the players talk about Kansas all week,” coach Steve Prohm said to the Des Moines Register after the game, “and I’m sure Kansas wasn’t talking about us until now. The league is too good to look ahead to anybody. I’ve got a lot of respect for their program, (but) we had to come here and take care of business. I’m glad we won. Now we’ve got to get home, rest tonight, meet tomorrow at 4:30 and get ready for Kansas Monday night.”

and staff) were, like, ‘We can totally get you a job next year.’ Fred Q (Quartlebaum, director of student-athlete development) was showing us around,” Paige said of an office tour on her campus visit. “I think it’d be fun to work in basketball (as a career). I don’t know as a coach, but just around the game. I love being around basketball. I’ve been around it my whole life, maybe P.R. or just anything to do with it.” She’d been around Iowa State basketball a long time. Well known as a player in her own right — she had 31 points in one game — Paige has a remarkable 6,599 followers on Twitter. Many of those folks are Iowans who are curious why Paige picked KU over ISU. “I usually tell them I chose Kansas because of the school and not because of the basketball team. Not everything is about the basketball team,” she said. “I can’t really go out without someone asking, ‘Why did you choose KU? You hate them so much.’ Because Iowa State kind of hates on KU a lot.” Though Paige attended ISU-KU games the past many years and rooted for ISU, of course, she wasn’t one of those crazed spectators like the ISU booster who screamed at Self

at the end of a game in Hilton a few years ago. “I stay calm. I like to stay low-key at every game,” said Paige, who said she most enjoyed Big 12 tournament games in Kansas City, Mo., because so many Cyclone fans would gather at the team hotel as well as players and their families. Yes, she said, Fred Hoiberg is as popular in Ames as his nickname, The Mayor, would indicate. “We couldn’t really go out to eat without anyone interrupting our meal, which was kind of hard. That’s another thing he likes about the NBA,” Paige Hoiberg, said, adding dad is enjoying his first season in the NBA despite the fact “it is so much different from the NCAA.” “He can go into the big city and not everyone will recognize him,” she added of Chicago. Paige — she talks to dad daily — has no idea what will happen on Big Monday when the Jayhawks and Cyclones meet in Hilton. “That’s tough. The season has been so crazy already,” Paige Hoiberg said. “I mean, it’s hard to win on the road, but Kansas has pulled it out before. I think it depends who is having a good night.” ISU, of course, has the intangible of “Hilton Magic” on its side.

“As an Iowa State fan growing up, I think you have to believe in the magic,” Paige said. “Anywhere on the road is hard to win, but Iowa State ... we all saw Oklahoma fall there last week. Anything can happen in college hoops. This is a crazy year.” As a public figure in Ames — a member of the royal family, so to speak — she watches what she says about the KU-ISU matchup. “Everyone asks me what shirt I’m going to wear Monday. I say, ‘I’ll wear white,’” Paige said, noting she has a late class on the first day of the school week, thus won’t make the four-hour drive to ISU’s campus. Her grandparents still live in Ames, while mom, dad and her younger brothers Jack, Sam and Charlie (all into basketball and golf as well), reside in Hinsdale, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. One thing is sure: Fred and Paige will speak soon after the game, maybe in a group conversation that includes Self if KU wins the contest. “I ask her all the time how her dad’s doing,” Self said. “I talk to Fred periodically. We’re friends. I don’t give her too hard a time (about KU-ISU). I imagine I’ll give her a little bit harder time this next week.”

not let your team lose. I think that’s what it really comes down to.” l

of course, they need improved ball security to grow in the weeks ahead. “They were just silly turnovers, honestly,” freshman guard Kylee Kopatich said. “I mean, half of ours were travels. We did that to ourselves. It wasn’t like we were trying to make a play and it got deflected and they got a steal.” In fact, OSU only came away with seven swipes, but the kind of mental miscues Kopatich referred to, such as stepping out of bounds in the process of spotting up for a corner three, contributed to KU falling behind early. Another first quarter marred by offensive woes put KU in a 13-point hole. The Jayhawks were 0-for-3 from the floor with five turnovers before junior guard Timeka O’Neal found sophomore guard Lauren Aldridge for a successful threepointer 41⁄2 minutes into the loss. Backfiring in the opening minutes, KU’s performance nearly matched a 17-0 start for the Longhorns in a loss to Texas less than two weeks earlier. “When we get behind, we get younger,” Schneider said, “in that we mentally get younger. We lose focus, we make more mental mistakes, which causes that to kind of snowball, and that’s the biggest concern for me. OK, so we don’t get off to a great start. How do we stay engaged, whether I’m in the game or not? And how do I really get locked in to try to do something about it.” Kansas only connected on three of its 12 field-goal attempts in the first quarter and trailed 17-7 entering the second. Twice before halftime, the Jayhawks cut OSU’s lead to six, with Kopatich hitting free throws to make it 17-11 and later knocking down a three that got KU within 20-14. However, the visitors countered by hitting seven of their next nine shot attempts, including six straight to close the half, to build a 34-21 cushion. KU, on the other hand, missed six of its final eight field-goal attempts before the break and gave up 14 points off turnovers in the half. The Big 12’s leading scorer, OSU senior

TEMPLE’S JOSH BROWN CELEBRATES WITH STUDENTS WHO STORMED THE COURT after Temple upset SMU, 89-80, on Sunday in Philadelphia.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

SMU suffers 1st loss The Associated Press

Men’s Top 25 Temple 89, No. 8 SMU 80 Philadelphia — SMU coach Larry Brown watched with a mixture of disbelief and amazement as Temple students rushed the court when the final buzzer sounded. “I almost got in it,” Brown said. “I never thought that would ever happen.” That’s what happens when a team comes to town with a perfect record and leave with its first loss. Eighth-ranked SMU became the last Div. I team to lose this season when Devin Coleman scored a career-high 23 points and led Temple to a victory Sunday. The Mustangs (18-1, 7-1 American Athletic Conference) were off to the best start in team history. “We’ve got to start again,” Brown said. SMU is ineligible for postseason play this year because of NCAA infractions. “Our motivation is to try to get better and make it a special year for the seniors,” the SMU coach said. “And this loss is not going to take that away.” Coleman made all eight of his field goal attempts and all seven of his threepoint shots coming off the bench to thwart SMU’s bid at perfection. Quenton DeCosey added 19 for the Owls (11-7, 5-2) in their highest-scoring game of the season. The crowd at the Liacouras Center was smaller than usual after the game was pushed back a day because of the winter storm that blanketed the East Coast. But that didn’t stop the fans from making their voices heard as Temple stretched its lead to 19 in the second half and for students to rush the court when the game ended. “I think this does a lot for our (NCAA tournament) resume,” DeCosey said. “It shows people we can beat anybody.” Sterling Brown scored 19 points to lead SMU. Jordan Tolbert added 15 points on 7-for-9 shooting and Ben Moore had 13 for the Mustangs, who shot just 3-for-14 from three-point range. After SMU pulled within five midway through the second half, Coleman made two straight threes to cap an 11-0 spurt and help Temple pull away. Coleman matched the school record for longdistance accuracy, tying the 7-for-7 performance by Pepe Sanchez on Feb. 16, 1997 vs. Rhode Island. “He was playing ‘HO-R-S-E,’” Brown said. “Once he got going, he was unstoppable.” Overall, the Owls shot 14-for-29 on three-pointers, the most they’ve hit all season. Daniel Dingle added 14 points for Temple, which has won five of its last six games.

No. 2 N. Carolina 75, Virginia Tech 70 Blacksburg, Va. — Brice Johnson scored 19 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, leading North Carolina over Virginia Tech for its 12th straight victory. North Carolina (18-2, 7-0 ACC) led by as many as 20 in the first half, but the Hokies took a 61-59 lead on a basket by Kerry Blackshear Jr. with 8:05 remaining. It was their only lead of the game. Seth Allen made two free throws for the Hokies (12-8, 4-3) to pull to 72-70, but Marcus Paige hit two free throws with 17.8 seconds remaining to push the lead back to four.

No. 13 Virginia 73, Syracuse 65 Charlottesville, Va. — Malcom Brogdon scored 12 of his 21 points in the final 5:45, and Virginia held off a threepoint barrage by Syacuse. Anthony Gill and London Perrantes added 16 points each for the Cavaliers (15-4, 4-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who squandered all of a 10-point second-half lead, then rallied behind some clutch shooting and defense.

BROOKLYN GUARD BOJAN BOGDANOVIC PASSES OVER OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER GUARD DION WAITERS (3) in the first half of the Nets’ 116-106 victory Sunday in New York.

Raptors 112, Clippers 94 Toronto — Kyle Lowry scored 21 points, and Jonas Valanciunas had 20 as Toronto beat the Clippers for a season-high eighth straight win. DeMar DeRozan and Terrence Ross both added 18 points each for the Raptors. Ross shot 5-for-7 on three-pointers and totaled at least 10 points off the bench for the fourth straight game. Chris Paul had 23 points and 11 assists for the Clippers, and DeAndre Jordan had 15 and 13 rebounds. JJ Redick scored 17 points for Los Angeles. The Raptors beat the Clippers for the fourth straight time, completing a second straight season sweep. It also marked the first time in franchise history the Raptors swept both Los Angeles teams in the same season, having beaten the Lakers in both meetings already. The Raptors’ winning streak is the second-longest in franchise history, one short of the teamrecord set in the 2001-02 season.

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP • BRONCOS 20, PATRIOTS 18

Manning Super again Denver (ap) — When Peyton Manning was watching games from the locker room a few months ago, none of this seemed possible. Manning back on the field, playing the role of the most decorated game manager in history. Manning churning his 39-year-old legs around the right end for a 12-yard gain and a first down. Manning back in the Super Bowl. The strangest season of No. 18’s Hall of Fameready career will play itself out all the way to the last game. Manning and the Denver Broncos are heading to the Super Bowl, thanks to his efficient offense and a bigplay defense that saved a 20-18 victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on Sunday. “It’s been a unique season,” Manning said. “And this game today was a unique football game.” Manning’s third-quarter scramble for a first down — “The run,” he called it, using air quotes — might be the most celebrated scramble by a Broncos quarterback since John Elway helicoptered in the Super Bowl, 18 years ago. It was certainly the most unexpected. “He’s going to do what he has to do to win,” Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said. “He’s one of the greatest competitors ever in this league.” That play helped flip the field early in the second half for the Broncos (14-4). Then, defense saved the day. Manning’s fourth trip to the Super Bowl wasn’t wrapped up until cornerback Bradley Roby picked off Brady’s pass on a 2-point attempt that would have tied it with 12 seconds left. Brady hit a double-cov-

NEW ENGLAND QUARTERBACK TOM BRADY (12) AND DENVER QUARTERBACK PEYTON MANNING VISIT after the Broncos’ 20-18 victory in the AFC Championship game on Sunday in Denver. ered Rob Gronkowski in the back of the end zone on fourth down from the 4 to set up the potential tie. The Patriots had to go for 2 because Stephen Gostkowski pushed an extra point to the right in the first quarter — his first miss in 524 tries. “All day, these guys put their bodies and lives on the line, and for me to come out here and miss a kick, it’s a nightmare scenario,” Gostkowski said. That left it to one play, and after the Broncos took a timeout to give DeMarcus Ware time to rest and get back in the game, Aqib Talib stepped in front of Brady’s pass and deflected it skyward. Roby, who forced the game-changing fumble in last week’s victory over Pittsburgh, made the pick. The Broncos recovered the onside kick and the celebration began. Manning improved to 6-11 in his vaunted series

against Brady, but 3-1 with the AFC title on the line. Manning surpasses Elway as the oldest quarterback to take his team to the Super Bowl. The Broncos will play Carolina, a 49-15 winner over Arizona in the NFC game. New England (13-5) came up short and won’t get a chance to go backto-back and win a fifth Lombardi Trophy. The Patriots lost their last two regular season games to squander homefield advantage. In a game that came down to one play, that may have made a difference. Another possible factor: Bill Belichick’s decision to pass up short field-goal attempts twice in the fourth quarter while trailing by eight. “Because of the scoring situation in the game,” Belichick said. They’ll have the winter to debate it in New England. In Denver, the season goes on.

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP • PANTHERS 49, CARDINALS 15

Panthers hammer Cards Charlotte, N.C. (ap) — Superman is bringing his cape and his pen to Super Bowl 50. He’s leaving behind his camera. “Yeah, we are going to the Super Bowl. We are not going just to take pictures,” Cam Newton said Sunday after leading the Carolina Panthers into the big game with a 49-15 rout of Arizona for the NFC championship. “We are trying to finish this thing off.” That would be against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in two weeks. “Playing the sheriff,” Newton said of Manning. “We’re going to live in the moment right now. We’re going to be excited.” Newton threw for two touchdowns and ran for two others, and Carolina’s big-play defense stifled Arizona’s top-ranked offense. The 49 points were the most for an NFC title game winner. The NFL’s new top man at quarterback — Newton is an All-Pro this season — goes against five-time MVP Manning. Carolina is favored by four points. “We’ve been dreaming about this moment since Day 1,” Newton said. “Our pen has a lot more ink left.” It will be Newton’s first trip to the Super Bowl and the second for the Panthers (17-1), who lost to New England 12 years ago. Denver, of course, has made a habit of going to Super Bowls, reaching it for a record-tying eighth time. And while the Broncos’ defense carried it past New England 20-18 for the AFC crown, Caroli-

CAROLINA QB CAM NEWTON CELEBRATES WITH TEAMMATES DURING THE SECOND HALF of the Panthers’ 49-15 victory over Arizona in the NFL Championship game on Sunday in Charlotte, N.C. na’s D was just as destructive. It picked off Carson Palmer four times, forced two fumbles by him, and never let up the assault. Special teams also had a takeaway, and when Carolina grabbed a 24-7 halftime lead this time, it didn’t back off, as it did in nearly blowing a 31-point margin a week ago vs. Seattle. When Newton flew into the end zone for a 12yard third-quarter touchdown — no, he didn’t have the cape on — he posed like a superhero, dabbed a bit, and pointed the Panthers toward the Bay Area. Newton finished with 335 yards passing and 47 rushing as Carolina won its 13th straight home game, including three in the playoffs. One of his biggest helpers was Ted Ginn Jr., who was dumped by the Cardinals after last season. Ginn had a 32-yard punt return to set up his weaving 22-

yard TD run, and chased down All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson to prevent a second-quarter touchdown. He also had 52 yards on two receptions. “Yes, it was personal,” Ginn said. “My team knew it was personal.” Carolina’s defense did the rest, most notably making Palmer uncomfortable in the pocket and turning Larry Fitzgerald, the star of last week’s overtime victory against Green Bay, into a virtual non-entity. It led the league with 39 takeaways, and at times it made an Arizona team that gained more yards than anyone look amateurish. “We wanted to come out and play a complete game and I think the guys up front played exceptional,” linebacker Luke Kuechly said. “There was pressure all day.” Capping the barrage was Kuechly, who returned an interception

22 yards for a score. The 49 points were the most this season for Carolina, which led the NFL with 500. The last time a team scored as many in a conference title game was 1990: Buffalo 51, the Raiders 3 in the AFC. Criticized for being too conservative against Green Bay, Palmer let it fly from the outset. He just connected too many times with the Panthers. “I kept digging us in a hole and we just couldn’t come out of it,” Palmer said.
