Planners advise against gun range near school By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission has recommended denial of a proposal to rezone a property near a school and future Boys & Girls Club location to allow for a shooting range and gun shop to locate there. The vote went against the planning staff’s recommendation, but commission mem-

bers made clear they believed the staff’s recommendation was correct in terms of zoning ordinances and municipal, state and federal law. However, the commission is there to consider factors beyond just legality, commissioners said. ”To me, the real hard question is just the safety issue,” said Clay Britton, chairman of the commission. “That’s one of the golden factors, is compatibility with nearby uses,

In the explanation of their votes, the four commissioners who recommended denying the request all cited either one or both of two “golden factors” the commission uses to guide its decisions: the pubic health, safety and welfare, and compatibility with the character of the neighborhood.

Kearns said “These Broken Stars” is a fun read that also deals with some hard science, similar to the adult pick. “The True Meaning of Smekday” has “a good message and diverse characters. Bonus: it has a cat,” she said. Exact dates will not be announced until January, but during that month the library will hold a launch party. Books — free, while supplies last — will be distributed at that point. Then February is Read Across Lawrence month, Kearns said, which means the library will host events that relate to the books and the theme. In some years previous, authors of the selected books have visited the library. Kearns said she doesn’t think any of the authors will make it this year, but some guests have committed to giving presentations that she thinks will be “pretty out of this world.” She said there will be programs about outer space and space travel,

some of which “bring in science and music and a variety of different people.” “I would love to spill the beans right now, but I’ve got to wait, but we’ve got some sort of jaw-dropping stuff happening — that’s the best I can put it,” Kearns said. “We’re really super excited. … I’ve been telling people to keep their calendars clear in February. It’s gonna be awesome.” The Read Across Lawrence program started in 2001, and last year, the library added the teen category. Kearns said last year adults picked up nearly 550 books; teens, about 500; and children, about 1,100. Kearns said the program is a great way to promote reading and community at the same time. “You pick a book as a community and read it together,” she said. “It encourages everybody to talk about the same book.” Descriptions of the books are available on the library’s website at lawrence.lib.ks.us.

Settlement approved in lawsuit against Tulsa appraisal firm Tulsa, Okla. (ap) — Former residents of the old mining town of Picher have reached a settlement with a Tulsa-based appraisal firm they say intentionally undervalued their property for a federal buyout. The Joplin Globe reports that a judge signed off on the $1.3 million settlement in the class-action lawsuit Thursday. The 161 plaintiffs could receive their share of the settlement before Christmas.

The former residents of Picher in Ottawa County had alleged that their properties were intentionally undervalued by the appraisal company, Cinnabar Service Co. The company conducted appraisals for the Lead-Impacted Communities Relocation Assistance Trust, which oversaw the buyout of Picher with guidance from environmental officials. The settlement provides $650,000 to the plaintiff’s lawyers and $650,000 to the

plaintiffs.

At the time, the United States had taken in only about 1,500 displaced Syrians since 2011, with the vast majority seeking refuge in Europe. A U.S. State Department spokesman said during a news briefing Monday that the department had not changed that plan. Obama told reporters in Turkey on Monday that efforts to stop refugees from coming to the U.S. were “shameful.” Refugee experts have been reported as saying the governors have no legal authority to block refugees from coming to their states under the Refugee Act of 1980.

to entry, sends entirely the wrong message.” — Statement from the Council on American-Islamic Relations national organization, issued a statement Monday saying the governors’ actions were “un-American.” “Defeating ISIS involves projecting American ideals to the world,” the statement reads. “This un-American rejection of refugees, who will face significant security checks prior to entry, sends entirely the wrong message. Governors who reject those fleeing war and persecution abandon our ideals and instead project our fears to the world.” The executive order issued by Brownback specifically names the Kansas Department for Children and Families’ Kansas Refugee Program, Refugee Resettlement Program and Refugee Social Service Program when stating that “no department, commission, board or agency” could assist in Syrians’ relocation. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement, 490 refugees arrived in Kansas in fiscal year 2014. The Associated Press reported Monday that eight Syrian refugees had

settled in the state so far this year. According to the Kansas Department for Children and Families, one family settled in Wichita and another family in Kansas City, Kan. According to the report, the Wichita office of the International Rescue Committee has said it’s likely Syrian refugees would settle in Wichita because a Syrian population is already well-established there. Brownback said in his statement that Kansas “cannot allow an influx of Syrian refugees, without any meaningful security checks, while ISIS is promising to infiltrate the refugee process.” The state department said refugees entering the U.S. undergo the highest level of security checks. Screenings are done by the National Counterterrorism Center, the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, among other agencies.

The Lawrence College and Career Center, 2910 Haskell Ave., is located across 31st — about 760 feet — from the proposed site. The LCCC is attended by hundreds of students from both high schools. It’s also adjacent to the proposed site for the future Boys & Girls Club teen center, which will run an after-school program for about 300 middle and high school students. Colby Wilson, executive director of the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence, also spoke in opposition to the request, explaining that as an organization, the club is supported by the community, school district and families of Lawrence. “The bedrock of that support is the expectation that we provide a safe place, both emotionally and physically,” he said. Wilson noted that he tried to go into the issue with an open mind, and he commended Sells on his intentions for the business to also provide gun safety and training. But ultimately safety could not be guaranteed, Wilson argued. “There are just too many things outside of our control and outside of Mr. Sells’ control in regard to safety,” he said. Despite voting to deny the request, Britton said he was glad it was a

mixed vote. “I don’t think we should necessarily make a statement that nobody supported somebody’s right to have a gun store,” he said, noting his decision was based on the golden factors. Sells explained during the public hearing that he was taking the district’s concerns seriously, and that measures would be in place to ensure customers would not pose a hazard to the school, including the required background checks and gun training. The planning commission’s recommendation serves as guidance for the city commission, which ultimately will make the final decision on whether the project wins the necessary rezoning approvals. Because of the planning commission’s recommendation for denial, the city commission will need a supermajority as opposed to a simple majority — four of five commissioners instead of three voting in favor — to approve the request. Alternatively, the city commission could choose to send the request back to the planning commission for further consideration.

High Plains Aquifer’s overuse hit its peak in 2006, study says Manhattan (ap) — Over-pumping of the High Plains Aquifer beyond its recharge rate peaked overall in 2006, while the aquifer’s rate of depletion in the portion underlying Kansas reached its high point in 2010, a study released Monday shows. The Kansas State University study also projected the aquifer’s use would decrease by about half over the next 100 years. Researchers studied the water depletion in 3,200 Kansas wells and 11,000 wells from the other seven states where the aquifer is located, looking at historic and projected future groundwater use rates. The High Plains Aquifer — which underlies parts of Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas — provides 30 percent of the irrigation water for those key agricultural states. “We tried to understand how aquifer depletion has manifested itself across the aquifer as well as that has changed over time and how aquifer depletion would be extend-

The event, which officially runs Thursday through Sunday, is a collaborative effort between Lawrence Folk and the national Country Dance and Song Society.

Walker, 31, has spent two birthdays behind bars since his arrest less than an hour after the 3:10 a.m. March 8, 2014, shooting death of Roberts. Prosecutors allege Walker and co-defendant Archie Robinson forced their way into Roberts’ apartment that morning with a gun to steal cash or marijuana, and when Roberts did not cooperate, Robinson shot him. But Walker’s attorney, Blake Glover, said Monday that evidence to be presented this week will show Walker and Robinson did not break into the apart-

spot, Allen says. Before festivities begin Thursday, Lawrence Folk — with help from nationally recognized instructors supplied by CDSS — will teach traditional dances to students at Broken Arrow Elementary School and Deerfield Elementary School on Tuesday afternoon and at Raintree Montessori School on Wednesday afternoon. Everyone — even those with little dancing experience — is welcome to attend this week’s workshops and events, Allen said. The roster includes everything from

English country dancing, clogging and Scandinavian dancing to lessons in singing, foot percussion and music theory. The Family Dance on Thursday from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Community Building, 115 W. 11th St., might just be the highlight of the festival, Allen says. Unlike other festival events, this one’s free (just show up in your comfiest dancing shoes, Allen advises) and will offer easy dances for every age and skill level. “It’s fun, it’s accessible, it’s community-based, it’s people getting together

and doing something together that’s not looking at a screen and doesn’t involve technology,” Allen says. “When the music gets going and everyone is dancing together with the music, it’s magical.” Workshops are $10 each.

Business school, Hispanic group react to racial issues By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Making the Senate “more inclusive and accessible to all students” is the first commitment. Sub-points include reforming the election code and reducing the cap on election spending to $1,000 — which will be voted on at the regularly scheduled full Senate meeting Wednesday night. Other actions include creating an election fund “to increase equity” for students who want to run for Senate and increasing the number of appointed Senate seats “with the explicit goal of increasing diversity in the chamber.” The Senate already has a director of diversity and inclusion as well as seats for representatives from Black Student Union, Multicultural Greek Council, Asian American Student Union, Hispanic American Leadership Organization and First Nations Student Association. The full Senate is scheduled to meet at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday evening. The meeting has been moved to the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union to accommodate an anticipated larger-than-usual crowd.

So, they wanted to do outreach and they especially wanted to go to communities or regions where they could build those (folk) communities.” Lawrence Folk, along with several other Midwestern CDSS affiliate members, applied collectively to secure Lawrence as the festival site. The city’s central location and reputation as a cultural “destination” may have helped cinch the coveted

Kansas University’s School of Business and an organization that supports Hispanic students are the latest groups to weigh in on racial issues that have sparked student debates at KU for the past week. The KU business school has scheduled a forum to discuss issues of race and equality for later this month, and the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, or HALO, issued a statement saying it supports black students who say they are being discriminated against on campus. HALO president Alex Villagran, a junior from Garden City, said that although Hispanics are marginalized, too, he believes anti-black racism is the most important issue right now. “We could get into the ‘Oppression Olympics,’ and we could talk about what group is the most oppressed,” he said. “Every issue matters, but right now this needs to be the focal point. This is one that has been long overdue to be addressed.” HALO appears to be the first group to include

Facebook page, because they felt it was important to have a prompt response to the KU forum. Villagran said HALO has fallen short of addressing the issue of racism, particularly in not better promoting its Afro-Latino sub-identity. He said they came up with steps outlined in the statement relatively quickly but that they are feasible and “definitely necessary.” “We should be using all our privileges, all our opportunities to spread the word,” he said. “I’m not saying that Latino issues are not important, but I’m saying these at the moment are the most important.”

tangible “self-reforms” it pledges to pursue to improve the campus climate for black peers. Plans include requiring current and future HALO board members to receive “cultural competency training”; celebrating Afro-Latino culture through an Afro-Latino Week involving a “variety of relevant groups”; and working with KU’s Office of Multicultural Affairs and other resources to set up workshops addressing “anti-blackness in Latino culture.” “We must do more than release statements,” the group’s statement reads. “As community leaders on campus we must do more to support our brothers and sisters who are hurting and combat anti-black racism. As such, HALO will do what it can to elevate the voices of those who are being

silenced.” Villagran cited examples of racist acts against black students on campuses nationwide, as well as police shootings that have been in the news. He said Hispanics are not “exempt” from anti-black racism, either. The HALO statement also pledges support for 15 diversity and inclusion related demands of KU by a group of about a dozen primarily black students calling themselves Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk. The group read a list of demands during a town hall forum KU held last week to discuss racial issues. Villagran said members of that group were not involved in crafting HALO’s statement. He said he and the HALO vice president drafted the statement, which was posted Saturday to the group’s

Business school reacts The KU administration expects to share information this week about how the university will move forward on the issue of race, according to a message released Friday by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little. School of Business dean Neeli Bendapudi, who also attended last week’s forum, issued a message Monday echoing that of the chancellor and announcing a related upcoming forum for the School of Business.

level in reading and about 10 percent in math. Vanessa Sanburn, president of the Lawrence school board, said the results are a baseline that she thinks will improve as the new standards are better understood. “I think that there is an adjustment period that needs to happen in order for everyone to kind of catch up,” she said. Student performance on the new assessments falls within one of four levels: Level 1, below grade level expectations; Level 2, at grade level but not yet on track for college or career readiness; Level 3, at grade level and on track for college or career readiness; and Level 4, exceeds grade level expectations and on track for college or career readiness. McEwen said the new standards better address

the rigor and skills needed to prepare students for success in college and careers. “We know, for example, that our students need to be able to think critically and solve complex problems,” he said. Most Lawrence students are not on track to be ready for college or careers. In reading, about half of students were on track, and about 40 percent were in math. Sanburn said being college and career ready requires more thoughtful responses from students. “It’s different than just knowing the simple answer; it’s maybe understanding how a math problem is done or reading a passage and being able to go into more depth about connections.” When results are looked at by grade, elementary students performed better

than secondary students across the board — with fewer students performing below grade level, more students meeting or exceeding standards, and more students who are on track to be ready for college and careers. In reading, an average of 56 percent of elementary students were on track to be ready for college or careers, compared with 46 percent of secondary students. In math, an average of 48 percent of elementary students were on track, compared with 34 percent of secondary students. That difference can be explained in part by how long students were in school before the new standards were

introduced, McEwen said. For primary students, the new standards have been in place for most of their years in school, whereas for secondary students, it’s a change, he explained. “For some of our older students, this is a dramatic shift in learning, and for our younger students, this approach is all they know,” he said. Sanburn said she thinks that getting students performing at higher levels will come with ongoing efforts to increase student engagement and address individual student needs. “It’s a matter of helping students have a depth of knowledge so they can critically examine why an answer is what it is,

ment, but they went to the apartment to buy marijuana from Roberts, thus nullifying the felony murder charge’s underlying felony. “It was a drug deal and something went wrong during it, but it was not a burglary or robbery,” Glover said. “Nothing was missing from that apartment.” It took attorneys about six hours Monday to select a jury panel of eight women and five men. Then opening statements were made and Roberts’ son, Michael Neis-Roberts, began his testimony. Neis-Roberts, 18, claimed he was awakened to a knock at the door that morning, followed by banging and the door bursting open. NeisRoberts said Walker then

pointed a gun at him and Robinson and Walker entered Roberts’ bedroom. He said he heard someone say, “Where is it?” and his father respond, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Then, Neis-Roberts said, he heard the gunshot that killed his father. Testimony will continue today. The trial is scheduled to last through Friday. Robinson was found guilty of both aggravated robbery and first-degree murder in March. He was given a life sentence without the possibility of parole for 20 years for the crimes. Walker remains in the Douglas County Jail. — Public safety reporter Caitlin Doornbos can be reached at 832-7146 or cvdoornbos@ljworld.com.

“Diversity and equity are foundational values for our university, but we are clearly not living up to these values,” Bendapudi wrote. “It is my hope that here in the School of Business, we can continue this important conversation to move forward.” The School of Business forum on diversity and equity is planned for 4 p.m. Nov. 30 in Summerfield Hall, room 427. Faculty from at least two other academic departments — African and African American Studies, and American Studies — have released statements supporting black students’ demands and criticizing KU’s administration for failing to respond adequately to racism and racial disparity on campus. Graduate students from the department of American Studies and the department of Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies also issued written statements. On Monday afternoon, a KU graduate ended a hunger strike that he had been staging since Friday on the KU campus. — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

rather than being able to simply come up with the right answer,” she said. Parents will receive their children’s individual test results in early December. Additional information about how to understand the new assessment is available on the district’s website, USD497.org. Sanburn said that although assessment results can be one measure of performance, it’s certainly not everything. “It’s also a baseline meter, so if their child’s scores don’t align with how they expect their child should be performing, give it time,” she said. “It could be more that the child has never taken that test before.”

Terrorism should unite West, Muslims

EDITORIALS

Arts action A continued lack of public support for the arts in Kansas again is threatening a key funding stream.

he state’s lack of investment in the arts once again has put Kansas in danger of losing federal funding distributed through the National Endowment for the Arts. Unless the state agrees to add about $225,000 to its arts budget for the current fiscal year, it will fall short of the minimum state investment to qualify for about $591,000 in federal matching funds. The potential loss of those funds will have a devastating impact on arts organizations across the state, especially those in smaller communities that have less ability to raise local funds. Even if the state weren’t facing its current financial challenges, it’s doubtful that Gov. Sam Brownback would advocate more arts funding. In his first year in office, he vetoed all funding for the Kansas Arts Commission, causing NEA to cut off federal funds in 2011. Legislators allocated $700,000 for the arts in 2012, but that amount has declined to just $190,000 this year for what now is called the Creative Arts Industries Commission. The state hopes to raise an additional $58,000 from an income-tax checkoff and the sale of special license plates to support the arts in Kansas, but those efforts combined will total about $248,000, just over half of what the state needs to qualify for NEA funds. When Brownback vetoed funding in 2011, he said that tax dollars shouldn’t be used to support the arts because it isn’t a “core” function of government. He then created the Kansas Arts Foundation, a private nonprofit group, to support the arts. From all indications, that group has done almost nothing to fill the gap. Its website includes a Sept. 25, 2014, news release announcing three grant awards in the state; no dollar amounts were given. No grants were listed for this year. Those who might like to seek a grant from the organization are referred to a link that informs them that the foundation “is excited to announce a 2.6 million dollar fundraising campaign to secure an endowment to sustain funding for the future! … As a result, all grant applications are suspended at this time.” The state has until Jan. 15 — four days after the beginning of the 2016 legislative session — to come up with additional funding. Between now and then, the Department of Commerce says it will try to work with other state agencies to document any direct or in-kind contributions to the arts that might be used to justify the NEA matching funds. It will be interesting to see what state officials are able to cobble together — and whether it in any way meets the NEA requirements. Arts are an important part of our quality of life, but, according to the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies, Kansas allocated less per-capita funding to the arts in the current fiscal year than any other state except Arizona. That’s a statistic that should make state officials ashamed enough to step up and scrape together at least the minimum funding needed to maintain federal NEA support. LAWRENCE

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates — Do Western nations think that Muslim lives matter less? Most of us would resist any such characterization of callousness. But Western outrage about the carnage in Paris, coupled with near-indifference to similar killings in the Arab world, suggests to many Muslims that a double standard exists — and they find it deeply upsetting. In the past week, terrorists apparently aligned with the Islamic State conducted three savage attacks: The assaults in Paris that killed at least 129 people Friday night

“

These tragedies should unite Westerners and Muslims, and create a common solidarity against the terrorists of the Islamic State, whose rampages have killed far more Muslims than those of other faiths.” were the worst. But Sunni terrorists also struck Thursday in Beirut in a double suicide bombing that killed at least 43 in a Shiite neighborhood. Twin bombings in Shiite areas of Baghdad on Friday killed 26, and a string of bombs added at least seven more on Sunday. These tragedies should unite Westerners and Muslims, and create a common solidarity against the terrorists of the Islamic State, whose rampages have killed far more Muslims than those of other faiths. It should now be obvious that the Islamic State will brutalize Muslim “apostates” and Christian and Jewish “unbelievers” with equal savagery. That has been its method since its founding, more than a decade ago. What’s new is greater export of the mayhem outside the Middle East.

But instead of solidarity, some GOP governors were quick to argue that only Christian refugees from Syria should be admitted to the U.S. It’s hard to imagine anything that would bolster the Islamic State’s narrative more. President Obama rightly called such intolerant rhetoric “shameful.” It’s also unwise. The same goes for Sen. Mario Rubio’s argument that there is a “clash of civilizations” underway. What does he say to the Muslim victims in Beirut and Baghdad? Listen to Muslim voices, like Mohammed Fairouz, a prominent Muslim-American composer. “I felt totally broken by the attacks on Beirut and Baghdad, but even more by the fact that our lives didn’t matter as much to the media as the lives of those in Paris. As long as this remains the case, as long as the West can’t fully see us as human beings by treating our losses as seriously as their own, then we will continue to have the root of the problem,” he wrote me in an email Sunday. The Paris-Beirut-Baghdad bombings should create a coalition of disgust, which could power the military and political alliance that’s needed to crush the Islamic State. Yes, I know that many of the Muslim victims are Shiites, and that Sunnis fear domination by a Shiite Iran. But this play on sectarian hatred can’t work forever. Even Osama bin Laden recognized before he died that

the Islamic State’s forebear, al-Qaida in Iraq, was poisonous. He was so worried that Muslims would rebel against its savagery that he thought of changing al-Qaida’s name. What other lessons do we take from the terrorism of the past week? I had several thoughts, watching the television coverage and talking with Arab officials here in the United Arab Emirates. l The jihadists are trying to create a theater of death, in which people cower at the fear of more random attacks. Unfortunately, nothing serves their goal more than the scenes of panic Sunday night near at the Place de la Republique, as people stampeded in the fear that another attack was coming. Jihadists will play that video over and over. This is a war in which everyone gets a chance to show bravery under fire. The Islamic State and its copycats are taking their sadistic violence everywhere they can. If we cower and cringe, they win. It’s a time when Americans should be grateful that they have a Department of Homeland Security, and a strong intelligence service, military and police. l Europe must urgently address the fallacy that’s at the heart of the European Union — that it is a borderless commonwealth and that border controls and anti-terrorist surveillance are for nasty Americans, not progressive Europeans. The liberal dream that is the

European Union, one of the great achievements of the last half-century, will not survive intact unless it gets security right. Frightened people turn to demagogues. The lesson Europe can draw from America’s experience after Sept. 11, 2001, is to react, but not overreact. America was destabilized by the terrorist threat into actions that violated its values and, in that sense, its stability and power as a nation. President Bush, supported by congressional leadership and an angry public mood, took some unwise actions, most of all the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and also the use of torture. American is still paying the price for these mistakes. l Finally, the world needs to have a more mature debate about surveillance. Privacy is important. But no one wants to live in a world where the authorities can’t find out who terrorist suicide bombers contacted over the past several years. Strong legal systems should allow the U.S. and Europe to get this balance right, so that necessary surveillance is conducted under the rule of law. This week brought another terrible chapter in what Gen. John Abizaid a decade ago called “The Long War.” But it showed us the true face of the enemy, the common cause of Muslims and the West in fighting it, and the need for the tools that will be necessary to prevail. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

PUBLIC FORUM

Sharing the road To the editor: Many cities and states are currently encouraging bicycling and walking for their residents. Reasons include having fewer cars on the streets, better air quality and the health benefits — both physical and mental — of walking and bicycling. There are also significant economic advantages to residents who can leave the car in the garage more often. Being known as a pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly community is an attraction to businesses that are considering locating or relocating their business. It also attracts retirees who would like to safely walk or take a short bike (or adult trike) ride to the grocery store or coffee shop. It is relatively easy to include separate, convenient and safe bicycle and pedestrian paths or trails in areas of new development. Due to established streets, sewers, utilities, trees, etc., it is more difficult to do a good job of retrofitting older neighborhoods where, ironically, safe routes may be most used as they are close to downtown, neighborhood schools, community buildings, churches, etc. When opportunities in these neighborhoods arise, a shared-use approach will be required and accommodations made to minimize auto and pedestrian/ bicycle conflicts. Not all individual proposals may work, but the overall goal of making Lawrence a biking- and pedestrian-friendly community is an ideal that we should embrace. Dee Boeck, Lawrence

Unwinnable wars

sas winds ruffled and snapped flags of the Dole Institute, where Marine Corps veterans gathered to celebrate their 240th annual Marine Corps birthday. But inside, an aura of gloom and quiet despondency had set in with the aged veterans. Recently a decision had been made by Obama to send some 50 American “advisers” to Syria. And by the week’s end, it had been decided to put more “boots on the ground” in this Middle East civil war — identical to the Vietnam War of some 55 years ago. In the 1960s, President Kennedy began the Vietnam debacle by sending a token amount of “advisers” to Vietnam, which quickly expanded to Laos and Cambodia. Soon, we had over 100,000 men in country, lasting almost 15 years resulting in over 58,000 dead American boys! These wars of factions are unwinnable, have proven to waste billions of dollars and cost thousands of young American lives — for nothing! I was there! So whenever the president says to all of his “fellow Americans” he is sending the troops somewhere, anywhere, along with the food, guns, supplies, ammunition, clothes, boots and socks, automatically they take with them green body bags and aluminum caskets. For some of those going will not come home the same, it never fails! And all the time, we naively assume that nobody is going to get hurt, nobody is going to die! That just ain’t so, my fellow Americans! Curtis D. Bennett, Lawrence

changes (J-W, Nov. 9) and the column dealing with same-sex dating (J-W, Nov. 10) — are examples of more to come regarding the deception concerning what is morally wrong with our nation. I received an e-mail today from the American Family Association. Part of it says, “Here is a statement from a spokesperson at the Department of Education to a Chicago area high school: ‘Unfortunately, Township High School District 211 is not following the law because the district continues to deny a female student the right to use the girls’ locker room.’ What they aren’t mentioning is that the ‘female’ student they are referencing is actually a boy or ‘transgender’ in their terms.” Dr. Wes Crenshaw says as part of his answer to the girl’s question about exploring same-sex dating is: “Just proceed slowly and keep your heart as safe as possible.” The Bible warns all of us in Proverbs 4:23 to “guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life.” America’s hearts are changing because we have not diligently guarded against sin. The preceding news reports are examples of how the holiness of God is being profaned. This increasing reproach is a result of the recent Supreme Court decision to allow samesex marriage. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34).

At least 24 governors, expressing fears about terrorism, are taking action — through executive order, a request to federal officials or some other means — to prevent Syrian refugees from settling in their states. Their stand in the name of public safety began Sunday and escalated quickly Monday, igniting a debate over whether states even have the power to refuse people based on their nationality. The governors — in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin — were reacting to Friday’s attacks in Paris and the possibility that refugees seeking resettlement in the USA might

ALEJANDRO GONZALEZ, USA TODAY

U.S. refugee funding at risk Congressional Republicans moved Monday to try to block funding for President Obama’s plan to bring 10,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S. At least one of the terrorists who attacked Paris on Friday reportedly entered Europe through Greece amid a group of Syrian refugees, sparking calls from congressional leaders to rethink the administration’s $1.2 billion refugee resettlement plan. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, sent a letter Monday to the Senate Appropriations Committee requesting that any upcoming spending bills require congressional approval for the president’s refugee plan and for the funds to carry it out.

Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire. “There may be those who will try to take advantage of the generosity of our country ... and we must ensure we are doing all we can to safeguard the security of Americans,” GOP Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin said. In Louisiana, Gov. Bobby Jindal signed an executive order instructing agencies to “take all available steps” to stop relocation of Syrian refugees in his state. Kentucky Gov.-elect Matt Bevin, who is to be inaugurated Dec. 8, said his primary responsibility as governor would be to protect Kentuckians. Legal scholars say governors probably have little power to stop refugees from entering their states. “The one thing I feel very comfortable saying is there is absolutely no constitutional power for a state to exclude anyone from its territories,” said Stephen Legomsky, a Washington University

Terrorists warn that Washington a target

WASHINGTON The dramatic Islamic State video that emerged Monday purports to have Washington in its sights, but U.S. authorities say their intelligence indicates no real threat against the United States. With Paris still staggering from a terror attack that left 132 dead and hundreds injured, and police breaking down doors in Belgium as they search for one escaped terrorist, U.S. law enforcement authorities sought to authenticate the video, assess the threat and take a hard look at the hundreds of investigations of suspected Islamic State sympathizers already underway.

Obama, GOP battle over U.S. strategy against terrorists President says no religious restrictions David Jackson USA TODAY

The Paris terrorist attacks have generated a war of words between President Obama and the Republicans who want to replace him. GOP candidates knock Obama for what they call a weak strategy against the Islamic State, while the president slams some Republicans for what he says are “shameful” calls to restrict the

Syrian refugee program to Christians, excluding Muslims. “That’s not American, it’s not who we are,” Obama said Monday during a news conference in Turkey after a Group of 20 nations summit. “We don’t have religious tests to our compassion.” Though Obama didn’t name names, former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz have proposed that Syrian Christians should be given preference as refugees. In the days since Friday’s attacks, Republicans have criticized Obama — and by extension, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party’s front-runner for the 2016

to block the president’s Syrian refugee policy, saying in an email to supporters that “it would require a suspension of our intellect to think that ISIS will not work to infiltrate terrorists into the United States disguised as refugees or migrants.” Some Republican critics have called for the use of U.S. combat troops to help attack Islamic State territory in Syria and Iraq. “We do have American forces in Iraq and in Syria, but there’s no strategy,” Bush said on CBS This Morning. Obama said all that Republicans are doing “is talking as if they’re tough.”

Suspected mastermind foiled in the past Belgian believed linked to attacks thwarted this year Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Abdelhamid Abaaoud, named by a French official as the suspected mastermind behind the attacks that killed 132 people in Paris on Friday, is “one of the most active” Islamic State executioners in Syria, according to French radio station RTL. The 27-year-old Belgian is believed to be linked to thwarted attacks on a high-speed train bound for the French capital from Amsterdam and a church in the Paris area earlier this year, the unnamed official, who is not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation, told the Associated Press. Reuters also reported that Abaaoud could be the brains behind the Paris attacks, citing a source close to the French investigation. The news agency said that Abaaoud is currently in Syria, where a civil war has been raging since 2011. However, prosecutors in Belgium told Reuters that re-

Abdelhamid Abaaoud is “one of the most active” Islamic State executioners in Syria, officials say. ports of Abaaoud masterminding the attacks in the French capital are unconfirmed “rumors.” RTL said Abaaoud is from the Brussels neighborhood of Molenbeek, which has been linked to several terrorist attacks. A major police operation took place there Monday, which failed to yield any terror-related arrests. In a video that emerged in 2014, Abaaoud said: “All my life, I have seen the blood of Muslims flow. I pray that Allah will break the backs of those who oppose

him, his soldiers and his admirers, and that he will exterminate them.” Once a student at Saint-Pierre d’Uccle, one of the most prestigious high schools in Brussels, Abaaoud — a grocer’s son — took his 13-year-old brother Younes to Syria with him, according to media reports. The Guardian reported that Abaaoud, who is believed to be of Moroccan origin, was first identified as a militant following a raid on an Islamic State cell in the town of Verviers, about 80 miles southeast of Brussels in January. A magistrate said the cell was planning a “major, imminent attack” in Belgium. Two terror suspects were killed during a gunfight with security forces. In an interview in Dabiq, the Islamic State’s English-language magazine in February, Abaaoud, using the nickname Abu Umar alBaljiki, said he fled following the raid as authorities hunted him, Vocativ.com reported. “All this proves that a Muslim should not fear the bloated image of the crusader intelligence,” he said, according to the website. “My name and picture were all over the news yet I was able to stay in their homeland, plan operations against them, and leave safely when doing so became nec-

essary.” He added: “I was even stopped by an officer who contemplated me so as to compare me to the picture, but he let me go, as he did not see the resemblance! This was nothing but a gift from Allah.” Abaaoud tried to justify the terror attack plot by saying: “Belgium is a member of the crusader coalition attacking the Muslims of Iraq and Shām (Syria),” Vocativ.com reported. Last year, independent journalists Etienne Huver and Guillaume Lhotellier obtained footage of Abaaoud and fellow extremists in Syria loading a pickup and trailer with dead bodies, the AP reported. Abaaoud was captured on camera saying: “Before we towed jet skis, motorcycles, quad bikes, big trailers filled with gifts for vacation in Morocco. Now, thank God, following God’s path, we’re towing apostates, infidels who are fighting us.” In April, French authorities said they foiled an “imminent” terrorist attack on churchgoers after a man was arrested in Paris with an arsenal of weapons. In August, passengers tackled and subdued a man as he apparently prepared to open fire on a highspeed train from Amsterdam to Paris.

recently to discuss the Syrian refugee crisis with U.S. officials. Republican Gov. Robert Bentley of Alabama acknowledged Sunday there are no plans to settle refugees in his state, or credible terror threats directed at Alabama. He issued a statement saying he would “not place Alabamians at even the slightest possible risk of an attack.” Despite such reactions, President Obama is continuing with

plans to accept about 10,000 refugees from Syria. The civil war in Syria, which has raged since 2011, has killed 250,000 people and, according to the United Nations, sent more than 4 million refugees into other countries to flee the violence in the largest humanitarian crisis since World War II. “The people who are fleeing Syria are the most harmed by terrorism, they are the most vulnerable,” Obama said from the G-20 summit in Antalya, Turkey. He praised countries such as Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Germany that have opened their borders to refugees as “a signal of their belief in a common humanity.” Obama criticized those who would pick and choose whom to accept based on religion, and he urged American lawmakers “not to fall into that trap, not to feed that dark impulse inside of us.”

law enforcement across the country remained in a state of heightened alert. With hundreds of active investigations targeting ISIL-inspired suspects across the U.S., the official said federal investigators are increasing physical and electronic surveillance in some of the highest profile of the inquiries. “We are making sure (the investigations) are tight,” the official said, declining to elaborate. Nearly 60 people have been arrested so far this year in Islamic State-related cases, a House Homeland Security Committee threat assessment noted earlier this month. The suspected Islamic State video warns that the terror group will take its fight next to the U.S. to retaliate for airstrikes against the group’s training camps and territory in Syria and Iraq. “We swear that you will experience a similar day to the one that France experiences,” a man dressed in battle fatigues and flanked by heavily armed soldiers calls out in the 12-minute video. “Since if we have struck France in its heart – in Paris – then we swear that we will strike America at its heart, in Washington.” CIA Director John Brennan acknowledged that he expected the Islamic State to attempt more attacks and urged vigilance.

thought-out plan, he said. “This was something that was deliberately and carefully planned over the course of several months, in terms of making sure that they had the operatives, the weapons, the explosives with the suicide belts,” Brennan said Monday at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “And so I would anticipate that this is not the only operation that ISIL has in the pipeline.” Brennan called the Islamic State “an organization of murderous sociopaths” with a nihilistic and “criminally depraved” agenda to simply kill others under “religious pretense.” “Security and intelligence services in Europe and other places are working feverishly to see what else they can do in terms of uncovering it,” Brennan said. “It’s not just Europe. I think we here in the United States also have to be obviously quite vigilant.” Brennan said such attacks could be prevented if govern-

ments around the globe work together to thwart them. “I would never say that attacks are inevitable,” Brennan said. “To me, it’s not inevitable that it’s going to succeed.” As anxiety around the world built about the Islamic State’s capacity to carry out similar assaults, European authorities focused their hunt for clues to possible accomplices and more plots on Belgium and the Paris suburbs. French authorities identified Belgian national Abdelhamid Abaaoud as the possible mastermind and sought to find an eighth attacker who eluded French authorities. In the U.S., some lawmakers contemplated a stronger response against Islamic State terrorists. Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, the Republican chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said Monday that the U.S. should invade territory held by the terror group in Iraq and Syria. Johnson said the Obama administration’s approach — attempting to contain the threat using airstrikes without ground troops — is naive given the threat

ISIS poses to the rest of the world, including the United States. “It’s high time that we make a commitment in the world that Islamic terrorists have got to be wiped off the face of the planet,” Johnson said in an interview with USA TODAY. “Because if we don’t, every day that (Islamic State) survives, every day that they are not overtly losing, they are perceived as winners and perceived as winning and they’ll continue to aspire adherents to this barbarity.” Johnson wants the U.S. to assemble a coalition, much like the one former president George H.W. Bush put together for the Gulf War in 1990 to push Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. “It’s not a perfect solution, but you have to start at the head: We’ve got to destroy the caliphate, which means we’ve got to take back the territory, because a caliphate does not exist without the territory,” he said. Johnson, who was briefed over the weekend by Department of Homeland Security officials, believes the U.S. is dangerously vulnerable to an Islamic attack. “They’re not contained, they are spreading, they’re metastasizing,” Johnson said, referring to Thursday’s bombings in Beirut that left 40 dead and the downing of a Russian airliner over Egypt last month. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for both.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a letter to the president, “Neither you nor any federal official can guarantee that Syrian refugees will not be part of any terroristic activity. As such, opening our door to them irresponsibly exposes our fellow Americans to unacceptable peril.” One refugee advocacy group said the governors are setting themselves up for a discrimination lawsuit. “You can’t restrict certain nationalities coming to your state,” said Jen Smyers with the Immigration and Refugee Program at Church World Service.

Education Management Corp., one of the nation’s largest forprofit education companies, has agreed to pay $95.5 million to resolve allegations that it engaged in long-running, illegal recruiting practices in which staffers’ pay was based on the number of students they enrolled. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the high-pressure recruiting operations resembled a “boiler room” in which prospective students were targeted regardless of their abilities to succeed. The settlement represents the largest False Claims Act settlement involving a a for-profit educational institution in U.S. history, Justice Department officials said. — Kevin Johnson PROTESTS ERUPT AFTER BLACK MAN SHOT BY MINN. POLICE

A Minnesota agency is investigating an officer-involved shooting of a black man in Minneapolis on Sunday. The shooting sparked protests in the city Sunday, with another protest scheduled for Monday afternoon. According to authorities, officers arrived and a physical altercation took place with Jamar Clark. Authorities say Clark was not in handcuffs. During the

struggle, an officer discharged his weapon, striking the suspect, according to Minneapolis Police. But several witnesses say Clark was in handcuffs at the time of the shooting. Clark was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center. His condition has not been confirmed. However, witnesses said he was “lifeless” at the scene. — KARE-TV G20 ENDS WITH VOW TO COMBAT TERRORISM

In the wake of the horrific Paris attacks, leaders from the world’s top economies ended a two-day summit in Antalya, Turkey, on Monday with a vow to step up the fight against terrorism. President Obama said after the summit ended that he will continue working with other countries on a coordinated strategy to destroy the Islamic State, but without committing U.S. combat troops. The United States and its allies “are united against this threat,” Obama told a news conference. The G-20 leaders endorsed efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and promised to make the global climate conference that begins in Paris at the end of the month a success. France said the conference would take place as scheduled. — Barry Wood

Pivot from Europe to Asia has been a goal of Obama’s foreign policy

Thomas Maresca

Special for USA TODAY SUBIC BAY, PHILIPPINES Military tensions with China in the South China Sea and the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement are likely to be the key issues of President Obama’s six-day trip to Asia, where he will attend regional summits in the Philippines and Malaysia. Obama will arrive in Manila on Tuesday for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, a meeting of 21 Pacific Rim economies. White House national security adviser Susan Rice told reporters Sunday that the president’s trip will focus on the administration’s “broader rebalance to Asia.” She said the president would highlight security partnerships across the Pacific, climate change, counterterrorism, human rights and the global refugee crisis. A pivot from Europe to Asia has been a central goal of Obama’s foreign policy, but it has often been overshadowed by urgent concerns in other parts of the world. This time, the Islamic State terror attacks in Paris loom over his trip. “Certainly what just happened in France is going to color the discussions in Asia,” said Rodger Baker, vice president of Asia-Pacific analysis at Stratfor, a geopolitical intelligence and advisory firm based in Austin. “There’ll be some caution from some of the countries in how they respond to it. Those that are Muslim countries don’t want to be seen as anti-Muslim even if they’re anti-terrorism.” Some countries participating in APEC, including Malaysia and Indonesia, are predominantly Muslim, while others such as the Philippines, have had long-running insurgencies by minority Muslim groups. Philippine President Benig-

no Aquino III held a special meeting of security ministers and placed the country’s national police force and armed forces on full alert. He said that there had been “no credible threat” to the APEC meeting, according to local media. Obama also has meetings scheduled with the member countries of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a 12-country trade agreement that represents economies worth 40% of global GDP, but excludes China, the world’s No. 2 economy after the USA. It may be this trade pact, rather than a strengthened military presence, that will prove to be the most enduring part of Obama’s pivot to Asia. “The U.S. military has really never had a reduced presence in that space,” Baker said. “It’s always been there, it’s always been interacting. I think the challenge is economically, whether there is something the U.S. can do that will incentivize additional business activity in the area, which will then add to the sense of involvement and interaction.”

MALARI , NIGERIA year after Boko Haram terrorists ravaged this tiny community, life is returning to a semblance of normalcy as the Nigerian military makes gains against the Islamic extremists. Schoolchildren shout and play before school begins. Ululating — a high-pitched trill — fills the air as women give thanks for the start of a new day. “We’ve completely weakened Boko Haram,” said Alhaji Mohammed Kanar, a government official who oversees relief efforts. “We need our people to live in peace and begin a new life. We are appealing for more donors to come to the rescue of these abandoned families.” Boko Haram, whose name in the Hausa language translates roughly to “Western education is a sin,” has displaced more than 2 million people in this West African country in recent years. The extremists attracted international attention in 2014 when they kidnapped nearly 300 schoolgirls, most of whom are still missing. Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, elected in May after his predecessor failed to quash Boko Haram, redoubled efforts to stamp out the group. The White House announced in October that it was sending as many as 300 troops plus surveillance drones to neighboring Cameroon to help fight the terror group. President Obama authorized $45 million in defense aid in September to support Nigeria’s efforts in battling Boko Haram. While Nigerian forces have made headway against Boko Haram, the militants have stepped up their attacks in Chad, Came-

roon and Niger. Boko Haram fighters and Nigerian forces play cat and mouse, but displaced people living in camps under the government’s protection are trying to move on with their lives. Jumai Ganbo, 7, who has lived in a camp since January, doesn’t know where her parents are. She recently enrolled in primary school in Maiduguri. Her 8-yearold brother, Joe Shagari, wears bandages to cover arms and legs disfigured when Boko Haram fighters slashed his limbs and massacred most inhabitants of their village last year. Indo Asanbe, 35, said Boko Haram soldiers abducted her this year, tied her up and raped her

for three months. Nigerian troops rescued her and other women from a militant camp. “They (Boko Haram) shot my husband,” said Asanbe, a mother of three who has not seen her family for months. “I left my kids in the house, and I don’t know if they are still alive or dead. I used to be raped every day. But I’m lucky because I am still alive.” As she recounted her ordeal, Asanbe spit on the dry ground and rubbed the dirt with a misshapen foot. “I can’t walk. I can’t do heavy work,” she said. “The soldiers crippled me. But I have begun a new life here.” The violent rampage may have ended, but the humanitarian crisis is not over. Katie Williams, 39, a volunteer from Louisville, visited the camp here to deliver food, blankets and other goods. She set up an online fundraising campaign for those in the camp. Asanbe, who needed to leave the camp to see a doctor, said the trip might be risky, but it would give her a sense of freedom. “Life is now better here,” Asanbe said.

A sprawling, powerful November storm expected to bring blizzard conditions to Colorado, the chance for severe weather to the southern Plains and flooding rains to the Mississippi Valley was underway Monday evening. Colorado and parts of Nebraska and Kansas should see blizzard conditions and dangerous travel into Tuesday, when the worst conditions are forecast, AccuWeather predicts. A blizzard warning has been issued for eastern Colorado, including the city of Denver. The storm has the potential to bring a foot of snow not only to the central Rockies but also to a large part of the High Plains. Denver should see from 7-11 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service. Howling wind gusts 40-60 mph will add to the storm’s ferocity. Snow in Denver in November isn’t that unusual. Based on historical averages, November is Denver’s second-snowiest month, after March, the weather service said. The Weather Channel has named the storm Winter Storm Ajax.

Airline, cruise, hotel stocks fall in wake of terror attacks Charisse Jones USA TODAY

Travel stocks throughout the sector suffered in the wake of the terror attacks that have rocked Paris and the world. Not even news of a megamerger in the industry, which will create the world’s largest hotel company, could give a lift to stocks in the travel business. Airlines, hotels and major cruise lines all with service to or with properties in Europe saw price drops of as much as 3% in trading Monday. By the market’s close, Delta (DAL) was down 2.2% to $47.93 per share, United(UAL) declined by 1.2% to $58.08 and

American (AAL) dipped 1.4% to $42.83. Cruise lines also saw a drop. Carnival Corp. (CCL) saw a 1.5% share price drop to $50.77, while Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCL) was down 1.2% to $94.36. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) dipped 1.6% to $54.33 a share. Hotel investors were also nervous, despite the announcement early Monday of Marriott’s $12.2 billion acquisition of Starwood. If that merger goes through, Starwood shareholders will receive $72.08 a share in cash and stock. Yet by the end of the day, the stock price of the company – had dipped 3.63% to $72.27. Europe performed better than the French market itself: The CAC 40 index lost just 0.08%. The geopolitical risk associated with the events in France may be far-reaching. Diversified portfolios typically allocate significant funds to European stocks. Still, exposure to Europe over the long-term is a good bet. The IFA International Value Index, which

contains European stocks, has generated a 9.3% average annual return since 1928. The U.S. company most at risk to events in Europe is Coca-Cola Enterprises. The distributor and marketer of Coca-Cola beverages in European nations including France and Belgium gets 100% of its revenue from Europe. Analysts were already prepared for sluggish growth; revenue this year is expected to total $7.1 billion, down 14% from the previous year. Shares rose 0.2% to $50.96 Monday. Priceline was the hardest-hit — in terms of the stock — among companies highly dependent on Europe. Shares recovered to close down 2.4% to $1,266.87 after trading as low as $1,230.21 Monday. The company not only gets 65% of revenue from Europe, but it’s largely focused on selling travel services like air and hotels, creating more risk. Analysts remain bullish on the stock and think it could rise to $1,504.80 a share in 18 months, according to S&P Capital IQ. Priceline’s revenue is expected to jump 9% to $9.2 billion in 2015. Being heavily associated with Europe didn’t hurt shares of all the companies in the group. Shares of Owen-Illinois rose 1.4% to $19.02 — despite that the company gets 41% of its revenue from Europe.

Hotel guests are always seeking bigger rooms, beds and TVs. Marriott CEO Arne Sorenson is giving them a bigger company. A merger between Marriott International and Starwood Hotels and Resorts will yield the largest hotel chain in the world. With 30 brands and 1.1 million rooms between the two, the combined company will eclipse rival Hilton Worldwide, which has 12 brands and 745,074 rooms, and InterContinental Hotels Group, with 10 brands and 727,000 rooms. Sorenson sees size as a distinct advantage. In an interview with USA TODAY, he said Starwood’s lifestyle portfolio, with brands known for cutting-edge design

and cuisine, will complement Marriott’s, which is stronger in the both the luxury and limitedservice tiers. “We can do AFP/GETTY IMAGES better by being Arne bigger,” SorenSorenson son says. Marriott on Monday announced that it has agreed to buy Starwood in a $12.2 billion deal. The boards of directors of both companies unanimously approved a merger agreement. Pending regulatory and shareholder approval, the combined companies will operate or franchise more than 5,500 hotels with 1.1 million rooms worldwide. The deal is expected to close by mid-2016. A number of companies, including Chicago-based Hyatt Hotels and Resorts and a few China-based operations, had been courting Starwood, accord-

chen resigned. Marriott won out because of the strength of its upscale brands and its sheer size, said Bruce Duncan, chairman of Starwood’s board, during a call with analysts on Monday. “As part of a larger company we will have a more competitive financial position, and we will be better equipped to provide longterm value for our shareholders more so than if we had pursued a standalone path or chosen one of the other options,” he said. Marriott is expecting that the combined company will realize at least $200 million in annual cost savings starting in the second full year of closing the deal because of operating efficiencies. Sorenson says becoming a bigger company is the right move because it will allow Marriott to invest more in technology and marketing. Starwood also appealed to Marriott partly because brands such as Aloft, Element and W Hotels tend to attract younger travelers.

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

Terrorism is losing its shock value, at least when it comes to the reaction of financial markets around the globe. As terror attacks become more common, the reaction of investors is less panicky, less emotional and less bearish. Despite the human tragedy of the Paris attacks, financial markets around the globe, including France, shrugged off Friday’s attack. In a twist, shares rallied in the U.S., the first time that has happened on the first day of trading after an attack of this magnitude — a sign terrorism is having less of an impact on the global economy and markets as attacks become more common. The Dow Jones industrial aver-

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

age rallied more than 200 points, and the Standard & Poor’s 500 rallied 1.4% Monday. Shares were mostly higher in Europe, with the broad Stoxx Europe 600 closing up 0.3%. In France, the CAC 40 declined just 0.1%, after being down 1.2% in early trading. Historical statistics bear out the thesis that terror is having a smaller impact on stocks. The S&P 500 fell 4.9% on the first day of trading after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and fell 11.6% in total. But the losses are shrinking. In March 2004, the S&P 500 fell 1.5% on the first day of trading after the Madrid train bombing. It fell just 0.8% in July 2005 after the London subway bombing. Increasingly, investors are looking at history, and what they see is a market that dips after the initial attack but recovers swiftly. The hope is no attack will be so catastrophic to end the new trend.

Japan’s economic output shrank in the most recent quarter, throwing the world’s thirdlargest economy back into recession and presenting another setback for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s plans for reviving the nation’s long-suffering economy.

The Topix index of all first-section issues fell 14.30 points, or 0.9%, closing at 1,571.53.

Long term, leave the speculating to gamblers Q: Can I profit from overvalued stocks? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: The stock market isn’t a bargain anymore. Some investors might think it’s time to bet on a decline. The price-to-earnings ratio on the Standard & Poor’s 500 hit 20 last week based on operating earnings, S&P Dow Jones Indices says. That’s above the 18.8 valuation average since 1988. Some individual stocks have pushed the valuation envelope to impressive extremes. There are countless ways to bet the market party will come to an unfortunate end. Most brokers let you “short” individual stocks or market indexes. You buy the shares from someone else, sell the shares and then wait to buy them back at lower prices and return them. You can also purchase stock options giving you the right to require another investor to buy shares at higher prices after they fall. There are exchange-traded funds that increase in value when the stock market falls. But betting on a drop is a bad idea for most long-term investors. Stocks, on average, rise about 10% a year. Getting the timing right on bearish bets is infamously difficult. Mistakes on bearish calls can be costly if the stocks rise. Most long-term investors are best served picking a long-term portfolio and sticking with it and leaving the speculating to the gamblers.

Paul Sheard, chief global economist and head of global economics and research at Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, said at a news briefing prior to the announcement Monday that Japan’s economy “is sort of limping out of a self-induced recession last year, which was triggered by the consumption tax hike.” Japan fell into recession from

April through September 2014 following an increase in the consumption — or sales — tax from 5% to 8%.

In an episode of ABC sitcom Fresh Off the Boat earlier this month, Louis Huang (Randall Park) is chided by his wife (Constance Wu) for his appearances on a local morning show. “You need to go back out there and show people you can laugh at yourself,” she insists. “But be serious, too. A couple of light jokes. Nothing political. Don’t be boring, either. But be interesting. And pleasant. And also smart.

LOS ANGELES Carol digs deep into universal longing. Just sub out boy-meets-girl with girlmeets-girl and turn the clock back to an era when same-sex love could land you in jail. Two men in love, actually. “In the ’50s, homosexual relationships were illegal, because they were seen as something that actually could exist. But there wasn’t even an acceptance or an awareness of relationships between women — it was in the realm of the hysteric,” says Cate Blanchett, who plays the title role of a married, tony New Jersey housewife who falls for a young New York shopgirl in Carol (opens Friday in New York and Los Angeles, expands to additional cities through Christmas). That kind of love “was just a female dysfunction,” she says. “The fact that they’re women, they have an added layer of prejudice to push through and be heard. It doesn’t even warrant being a crime, what they feel for each other.” But Carol, adapted from the 1952 novel The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith (author of Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley, the latter of which Blanchett stars in), isn’t a hysterical love story. Under director Todd Haynes’ direction, it’s a slow seduction, an elegant, Mad Men-like ride seeped in the forbidden. When Carol, ordering an expensive Christmas gift for her young daughter, leaves her leather

gloves behind in the store, Therese “makes the first move,” Mara says, and ships them to her address. The act spurs Carol to invite her to lunch, where “everything is so loaded and coded,” Blanchett says. “They’re not sure whether they’re receiving what they think they’re hearing … and that’s the same of anyone, irrespective of your gender. When you actually form an attraction to someone, you always second-guess yourself. You think: ‘Is he/she feeling what I’m feeling? Are you saying what I think you’re saying?’ ” Mara nods. “People still do that, but the new version is, like, over text. You can dissect every word in a text message.” A quiet chess match of attraction blooms over a meal amid Carol’s messy divorce. Carol, who is trying to extract herself from her marriage to a confused husband (Kyle Chandler), has

been in a failed lesbian love affair before. Therese has a boyfriend and a tendency to say yes to everything. Mara calls her character naïve. “She’s at this place in her life where she’s deciding what kind of woman she wants to be, and she has this seemingly great boyfriend and a group of friends and a job. But she’s very lonely in her life,” she says. “And then Carol steps in, and she sort of has never seen anyone like that before, and didn’t even know it was possible to be a woman like that.” To Blanchett, the film represents a genderless love story, “in a similar way to Brokeback Mountain. It’s sort of an epic love ... a monumental, unstoppable love. And there are enough roadblocks that any sensible normal person with a modicum of timidity would run in another direction, but it’s bigger than either of them.”

With more Asian actors and writers, “it’s not like we’re fighting for the final piece of the pie that nobody wants — now, we’re actually in the kitchen making the pies ourselves,” says Boat executive producer Nahnatchka Khan, an Iranian-American. “We’re getting to create new opportunities and present characters in a different way than in the past.” But with diversity comes expectations for more complex Asian characters. The last sitcom about an Asian-American family, Margaret Cho’s short-lived ABC comedy All-American Girl, was derided in 1994 for its stereotypes, a criticism Boat faced this year, particularly from its outspoken creator, Eddie Huang. Rather than view the added pressure as unfair, Khan says, it’s a DANNY FELD, ABC good opportunity to Ken Jeong, a make a bet- former physiter show by cian, stars in ABC’s Dr. Ken. addressing weightier topics and hiring more diverse writers and directors. Asian actors claimed just 4% of scripted roles on broadcast series in the 2012-13 TV season, according to a UCLA study released this year, but those numbers have since increased. “The Center for Asian American Media welcomes the change, because the worst form of marginalization is to have no kind of voice and be invisible and be in completely stereotyped representations,” says executive director Stephen Gong. “It’s real progress, and that is great.”

THE HOLIDAYS CAN TRIGGER STRESS AND OTHER NEGATIVE EMOTIONS, but proper channels such as maintaining diet and exercise, meditating and keeping up with a healthy amount of sleep can help relieve stress.

Give holiday stress the boot the healthy way By Michelle Tevis

Twitter: @WellCommons

he holidays bring lights, trees, gifts and music. And also stress. The American Psychological Association reports that people in the United States experience a range of negative emotions during the holidays, from fatigue to sadness. Those emotions especially affect women and people in middle- to low-income ranges who feel a financial pinch amid the heightened expectations of the season, according to the APA survey. Avoiding the stress in the first place can help make the holidays less stressful and more enjoyable. For those who don’t regularly practice yoga, meditation or relaxation, this could be a good time to start. Jack Krebs, of the Yoga Center of

Lawrence, says learning yoga means learning the skills that help you recognize the signs of stress and give you the ability to ward them off right away. “Once you’re aware of your body, you have a continual de-stressing tool,” Krebs said. Aynsley Anderson, a registered nurse and the community education coordinator at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, is also a Mayo Clinic certified wellness coach. This time of year, she’s often asked for help addressing the topic of holiday stress. Much of that stress comes from expectations, of ourselves and of others, she said. “A lot of it we put on ourselves,” Anderson said. “Try to keep those expectations realistic. You’re only one person; you don’t really have control over everybody else. Make it work for you.” Sleep, exercise and nutrition are often

set on the back burner during the holidays, but rest and regular exercise — especially if they are part of your normal routine — are essential to well-being and function and also help boost your immune system. “Not only does keeping up with your regular diet and exercise routine help you stay less stressed, it helps you avoid picking up colds and flu,” Anderson said. “Exercise releases endorphins, those feelgood stress-resistant hormones, so people who do that are less likely to feel stressed,” she said. And it has the added benefit of improving quality of sleep. Expending calories while spending money is one way to incorporate a little exercise into a holiday task, Anderson said. “If you’re going shopping, walk around the mall once first,” she said. “If you go to a Please see STRESS, page 2C

Wyandotte County may raise age to purchase cigarettes By Mike Sherry Heartland Health Monitor

Supporters of banning the sale of cigarettes to teens in the Kansas City area may be close to landing their first major coup. A legislative committee of the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kan., on Oct. 26 endorsed revising laws to ban the sale of cigarettes to anyone under age 21. The Tobacco 21 | KC campaign is an

initiative of Healthy KC — a partnership between the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City. The full commission could consider the revisions as early as next month, said Commissioner Ann Brandau-Murguia, who is championing the campaign among elected officials in the unified government. Tobacco 21 | KC aims to make 21 the legal age of sale for tobacco

products in all of the roughly 100 municipalities in the Kansas City region. Proponents argue that stopping people from smoking at an early age should reduce the number of lifelong smokers. Commissioner Mike Kane was the lone dissenter among the five members of the Administration and Human Services Committee. “We are here to govern, not dictate,” he said. He said members of the

armed forces are under a lot of stress — even those who are younger than 21 — and they should have the right to purchase cigarettes if that helps them relax. But as a self-employed optometrist, Commissioner Jane Philbrook identified with arguments from the Tobacco 21 | KC representatives that smokers can hurt the bottom line. Productivity suffers when smokers go outside to have a cigarette, she said.

Brandau-Murguia and other campaign officials stressed that it’s not their intent to criminalize possession of cigarettes among older teens or even target people who might buy cigarettes for underage youths. She didn’t rule out a move in that direction, though. The regional campaign comes at a fortuitous time for the unified government, said Wesley McKain, supervisor of Please see TOBACCO, page 2C

Get smoke out of your life for good with help from free program By Janice Early Lawrence Memorial Hospital

The 40th annual observance of the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout on Thursday is a challenge to the 43 million smokers in the United States to stop for at least 24 hours. The ultimate goal, of course, is to get smoke out of our lives for good. According to Lawrence Memorial Hospital Community Education Coordinator Aynsley Anderson, a registered nurse and certified Mayo Clinic wellness coach, one of every five

Americans is a smoker, and one in five deaths in the country can be attributed to smoking. “Many of today’s smokers started during their teenage years, and they have tried several times to quit,” she said. “As Mark Twain put it: ‘Quitting smoking is easy. I’ve done it a thousand times.’” Although some people are able to quit on their own, most need help. A free program at LMH called “The Steps to Successfully Quitting Smoking” will be offered in recognition of the Great American Smokeout

Thursday from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the hospital if there are five registered participants. For information or to enroll, call LMH ConnectCare at 505-5800 or visit lmh.org. LMH’s free program will highlight how to break the smoking habit, pharmaceutical and nicotine replacements, preventing weight gain and dealing with stress during the quitting process. According to Dr.

Krishna Rangarajan, a board-certified pulmonologist with Lawrence Pulmonary Specialists, most individuals who start smoking don’t realize that nicotine is a highly addictive drug. “It causes physical dependence with unpleasant withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, headaches, sleep problems and trouble concentrating,” Rangarajan said. “And it is also emotionally addictive, making it difficult to break the habit.” He notes that for most Please see SMOKEOUT, page 2C

Wes: Last week’s events at Mizzou have been referred to as “remarkable” about 1,100 times in the media since then. To quote the old Buffalo Springfield song, “There’s something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear.” Whether you agree with the movement, despise it or remain curious, you cannot ignore it. Over the years in this column, we’ve lamented the tendency of teens to eschew politics, to ignore the deteriorating state of the world they’re about to inherit, and to treat their freedoms and opportunities as everlasting entitlements, which they decidedly are not. In Columbia, Mo., young people, faculty and coaches proved they could make themselves heard. Through a peaceful show of willpower, they brought down their school’s administration. Mark my words: It will go down in history as the beginning of a new student movement. It already has begun here in Lawrence and all across the nation. Most great social movements started with unsatisfied students, and the establishment tends to quickly suppress student dissent in attempting to maintain the status quo. Given the prevailing political tide, get ready for some suppression. That too has already begun. The real question now is whither goes this movement? Last week also marked the beginning of the one-year countdown to Election Day. Gabe and I already planned to cover that election as it affects young people. Now, it seems we’ll also be covering the election as young people affect it. Gabe: There’s no denying the protests at Mizzou, and all that has followed, are controversial. I believe that ultimately this movement will lead toward equality and justice. There will be rough patches, but the changes will make the world a better place. Beyond the event itself, we need to analyze how its constituents reached their goals and suggest myriad ways for young people to get involved in causes they care about. To make change, you need to pinch the sleeping giant of society up from its nap. By hitting it where it hurts, society notices. This is the core of protesting — to be a tenacious gadfly to move society along. The most obvious method that young people can use in protesting is, well, protesting — the good old picketsign-holding, megaphoneshouting, marching Please see STUDENTS, page 2C

smokers, nicotine replacement therapy can help with the withdrawal symptoms and cravings that make it so difficult for them to quit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nicotine is not a harmless substance,â&#x20AC;? Rangarajan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So if you are pregnant or have heart or circulatory disease, you should talk with your doctor before you start using an over-thecounter product.â&#x20AC;? Medications that can be used in conjunction with nicotine replacement include buproprion (Zyban, Wellbutrin, Aplenzin) and varenicline (Chantix). You will need a prescription for either one. Talk with your doctor to determine whether you might be a candidate for medications to help you quit. Many medications take two to three weeks to work, so make an appointment well in advance of your proposed quit date. And Rangarajan does not recommend electronic cigarettes for

smoking cessation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The use of e-cigarettes is controversial due to concerns about their long-term effects and their ability to help people quit,â&#x20AC;? he said. Rangarajan points out that although lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) get most of the publicity for smoking-related disorders, smoking is also a major factor in cancers of the larynx, mouth, sinuses, throat, esophagus, bladder, pancreas, cervix, ovaries, colon/rectum, kidney and stomach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smoking also has a negative effect on your heart and blood vessels, brain, eyes, hormones and metabolism,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And smokers are twice as likely as non-smokers to die of a heart attack.â&#x20AC;? There are many benefits to quitting tobacco. According to the Centers for Disease Control, quitters may: l Reduce their risk of coronary heart disease. One year after quitting smoking, the risk drops to half that of a smokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. l Decrease their risk of lung cancer. Ten years after quitting, the death

rate from lung cancer is half that of a smokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. l Reduce their risk of a stroke. Within five to 15 years of quitting, stroke risk is reduced to that of a nonsmoker. l Decrease the risk of getting COPD or COPD worsening. Lungs can begin to heal themselves as soon as you stop harming them with more smoke. l Save money. A packa-day smoker can save around $150 per month (almost $2,000 per year). Like any addiction, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy to stop smoking. Anderson says the important thing is to never give up trying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each time you try to quit and are not successful, you will learn something that can be applied to your next quit attempt,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be persistent, patient and forgive yourself if you backslide.â&#x20AC;? For the majority of those trying to quit, eventually success happens. Most then say it was the best thing that they ever did. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Janice Early is vice president of marketing and communications for Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Krebs said that being stressed is a learned behavior, and it takes time to overcome it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our culture we have learned to keep ourselves stressed for large portions of every day,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To destress for longer than just the holidays, start now.â&#x20AC;?

variety. Sneakers-on-theground protesting is the baseline form of political action. It is simple cause and effect, drawing wide attention to a cause so a dialogue must start. It is very simple to start doing as well. Just find a protest group and join â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em. But there are other options: writing letters to the editor, donating to a cause, voting and dialoguing daily. You have to be creative so your movementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice is heard. One of the most effective is economic pressure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; making the powers that be bow to the almighty dollar. The students at Mizzou hit the administration where it hurt. I certainly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fault Mizzou athletes for using their position of power for their cause, but it is seems a sad state of affairs when a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impending death from a hunger strike gets less attention than a couple million dollars of football profits.

to vote. Each of us can dictate who the powers that be are, and this dominance over them hurts just the same. Voting matters a lot more than young people think it does. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why throughout history the establishment has tried to suppress minority voting.

Yoga classes often close with savasana, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;corpse pose,â&#x20AC;? to allow participants to quiet their minds and bodies. The practice can be done at home and can provide relief from tension. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even taking five minutes or so to set aside and relax all the muscles and pay attention to your breathing is a very powerful de-stressor,â&#x20AC;? said Jack Krebs of Yoga Center of Lawrence. Krebs recommends lying down with support under your head and knees. Then go through parts of your body, including muscles and organs, and relax them one by one.

Dear Annie: While my mother was still alive, she gave a substantial amount of money to my oldest son, “Rick.” When she died, her will gave equal amounts of money to both of my sons. My younger son, “Chris,” was hurt by his grandmother’s lopsided generosity to his brother. Rick’s father, my first husband, will be leaving him his entire estate, so he will be financially set. My current husband and I recently completed our will, leaving most of our assets to Chris. Based upon what my mother did, I’m concerned Rick will be hurt if he finds out his stepfather and I didn’t leave him an equal share. But I don’t believe my husband is obligated to leave the same amount to his stepson as he does to his biological son. What do you think? — Avoid Hurt Feelings

Dear Feelings: Did your husband help raise Rick? Can your assets be separated from your husband’s so that his entire estate goes to Chris, but yours is split in half? Would Rick be understanding if you discussed these issues in advance? Unequal bequests create problems because it appears that the parent loved one child more than the other. If you explain your reasoning, it’s possible your sons will understand and not be

Don’t miss ‘American Experience’ The best documentaries discover true stories that are stranger than fiction. Sometimes, they inspire feature film adaptations. I would bet some aspiring screenwriter is already working on the big screen version of “American Commandante,” the subject of tonight’s “American Experience” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings). A tale of a failure and prodigal son who becomes a hero in the strangest fashion, “Commandante” is often too weird to believe. We first meet William Morgan as a little boy in home movies his father made in the 1940s. He looks sweet enough, but boy, he was trouble. In quick succession he would run away to the circus, get kicked out of a number of schools, join the Army, go AWOL, get arrested, break out of the brig and then face federal prison. After incarceration he would return to his native Toledo, much to the shame of his respectable parents, and find work as a merchant sailor and an all-around lackey for local mobsters. When, of course, he wasn’t working as a circus sword-swallower. In the mid-1950s he would impetuously reinvent himself once again as a Cuban revolutionary. He arrived in the jungle overweight, over 30 and a complete mess. The absurdity of his position recalls Woody Allen’s 1971 comedy “Bananas.” But he persevered and helped teach his comrades military tactics learned in the Army. He proved himself to be a brave soldier and a leader of men. By complete chance, Morgan had attached himself to rebels in the Escambray Mountains led by the 23-year-old Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo. Fidel Castro saw them as allies, but also rivals, and would send Che Guevara to take over the group. Over the first two years of the Castro regime, Morgan would be championed as a hero of the revolution, and then volunteer to act as a double agent to draw out those who would kill and betray Castro. You’ll have to watch the episode to learn the rest.

Tonight’s other highlights l “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG) features live eliminations. l Jimmy offers Gerald some tips on womanizing on “Grandfathered” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14). l “Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern” (7 p.m., Travel, TV-PG) visits Amsterdam. l Ethan makes a dramatic choice on “The Grinder” (7:30 p.m., Fox, TV-14). l Pride makes a promise when the lights go out on “NCIS: New Orleans” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14). l Denise shares a frightful yarn on “Scream Queens” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

Richard and I have always been close and have loved each other dearly. Now he is in a locked mental hospital and I don’t know why. Richard can have visitors only on weekends at certain times. The drive to the hospital is nearly three hours. My sister and I were allowed to go to his room for 20 minutes, but his wife and two children were present the entire time. The next day, we were told at the desk that his wife said we are not permitted to see him. I think this is despicable.

The Associated Press

North Carolina is ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25 men’s basketball poll for the 113th time, tying Kentucky for third place on the all-time list. UCLA is first among No. 1s with 134 weeks on top, while Duke is second with 127. Those are the only four schools with over 100 weeks at No. 1.

Bengals suffer first loss Cincinnati (ap) — It figures that T.J. Yates and the Texans would be the ones to finally knock off the Bengals. Yates took over after Brian Hoyer sustained a concussion on Monday night and rallied Houston to a 10-6 victory over Cincinnati, sending the Bengals their first loss — on their home field no less. The Bengals (8-1) were trying to make NFL history and join New England and Carolina at 9-0 — there’s never been such a trio. A backup quarterback with a history of beating them got in the way. Cincinnati contained some of the NFL’s top quarterbacks and knocked off some of its best teams while getting off to the best start in club history. The Texans (4-6) were an appropriate team to end the run. They made Andy Dalton look bad during first-round playoff wins over the Bengals during the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Yates was behind that first one, a 31-10 victory in Houston that was the Texans’ first-ever postseason win. Yates finished 5-of-11 for 69 yards and the touchdown pass that decided a lackluster game by both offenses.

HOUSTON’S CARLOS CORREA, LEFT, AND THE CUBS’ KRIS BRYANT were named AL and NL Rookies of the Year on Monday.

Houston’s Correa, Cubs’ Bryant top rookies New York — Big expectations followed Kris Bryant and Carlos Correa from the moment each was drafted just a few years ago. It didn’t take long for both to deliver. Bryant was a unanimous pick as NL Rookie of the Year on Monday, and Correa took the American League prize in a close vote by members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. “It’s an unbelievable feeling,” Correa explained on a conference call from his home in Puerto Rico, where he said thousands of proud supporters were waiting to celebrate with him. “It really means a lot not only for them, but me as well.” The surprise top pick in the 2012 amateur draft, Correa recalled how some questioned whether he warranted that selection. But by June this year, he was starting at shortstop in the majors and leading the young Houston Astros toward the playoffs. Bryant, chosen second overall by the Chicago Cubs in 2013, made his big-league debut on April 17. The third baseman quickly became an All-Star on a rising team that also reached the postseason. The 23-year-old Bryant batted .275 and led big league rookies with 26 homers, 31 doubles and 99 RBIs as Chicago returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2008. Bryant received all 30 first-place votes for 150 points in balloting by the BBWAA. San Francisco third baseman Matt Duffy was second with 70 points, and Pittsburgh infielder Jung Ho Kang third with 28 points. Correa received 17 firsts and 13 seconds for 124 points. Cleveland shortstop Francisco Lindor was second with 13 firsts, 14 seconds and two thirds for 109 points, and Minnesota designated hitter Miguel Sano was third with 20 points. Correa began this year in Double-A and made his major-league debut June 8. He hit .279 with 22 homers, 68 RBIs and 14 steals, helping the Astros make their first postseason appearance in a decade. The youngest position player in the major leagues, he turned 21 in September.

GOLF

McDowell takes rainy OHL Playa del Carmen, Mexico — Going more than two years without a win was enough time for Graeme McDowell to start asking himself the wrong questions. Was his best golf behind him? Was he even good enough to win again? He found his answer Monday morning in Mexico. McDowell made an eight-foot par putt on the 18th hole to stay in the game, and then he hit a 5-iron that grazed the edge of the cup and set up a three-foot birdie to win a three-man playoff in the rain-delayed OHL Classic at Mayakoba. “I dreamed of this day coming again,” McDowell said. “I thought it would be maybe not quite as soon as this, and I said to myself that I was really going to appreciate it. And I do appreciate it. This feels really nice.” That par putt on the final hole of El Camaleon Golf Club gave McDowell a 5-under 66 to finish at 18-under 266. Even so, it looked as if that would only be good enough for second place. Russell Knox, coming off a victory last week in the HSBC Champions, had a one-shot lead and was full of confidence. Knox, however, pulled his tee shot into the bunker in front of a steep lip, couldn’t quite reach the green and missed a 12-foot par putt for a 66. Jason Bohn made tough par putts on four of his last five holes for a 68 to join the playoff.

TODAY IN SPORTS 1956 — Syracuse beats Colgate 61-7 behind halfback Jim Brown. Brown sets an NCAA-record for points by an individual player in a game by scoring six touchdowns and kicking seven extra points for 43 points. 1968 — The “Heidi” television special starts on time and cuts off the NBC broadcast of the Oakland-New York Jets game in the final minutes, leaving viewers in the dark and unaware that the Raiders score two touchdowns in the last minute for a 43-32 comeback victory.

displeasure with us not giving him the ball every time we snap it. The reality is, you can’t do that, so he’s gonna get whatever he can handle.” It’s not just the running back who has transformed West Virginia into a run-first type of team. Howard also has shown a strong ability to gain yards on the ground. The junior QB has recorded a rushing touchdown during WVU’s recent Big 12 winning streak and enters this week as the Mountaineers’ thirdleading rusher. “The thing I’ve noticed as I’ve watched this team this year is what a good runner this quarterback is,” Beaty said. “And (Holgorsen) has done a nice job of creating different ways to run QB power, and he’ll do it out of a bunch of different formations. I really like watching this cat run the football when I’m not having to play him.”

Baker soccer teams to host playoff games Baldwin City — Baker University men’s and women’s soccer teams will host first-round matches Saturday in the NAIA national championships.

The Baker defense collected 12 shutout victories this season and posted six all-conference performers, including first-team all-conference goalkeeper Ryan Emme. The Wildcats entered the Heart of America tournament as the No. 1 seed, but fell to No. 2 Missouri Valley, 2-1, in double overtime. The Baker women are led by 2015 HAAC Defensive Player of the Year Krista Hooper and a defense that has collected nine shutouts this season.

Manning was ready to re-enter

Denver (ap) — Even after his coach removed him from the game, Peyton Manning stood on the sideline, helmet on, refusing to show any sign that he was anything less than ready to go back in. He’s stubborn like that. Manning’s refusal to stand down after an injury-plagued and abbreviated week of practice led to one of his most humiliating days ever — a fourinterception, 0.0-passerrating embarrassment in a 29-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. “We did not expect that,” Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said. Clearly, Manning was hurt, though when asked about that, he refused to say as much. “To me, that’s an easy way out,” he said. “That’s kind of an easy line to say after the fact.” The injury report, along with the flurry of overthrown, off-target passes in a 5-for-20 performance that ended midway through the third quarter, spoke volumes. Manning missed practice on Wednesday and was limited Thursday and Friday because of a hurting foot. Then, on Saturday, the team added sore ribs to his injury report.

“That’s when I felt like I should’ve just said ‘OK, no,’” said coach Gary Kubiak, who blamed himself for letting Manning start the game. “He’s a competitor. He wanted to play. I’m disappointed in myself. I should’ve made that decision.” Had Kubiak done that, it would’ve delayed, for at least another week, Manning from becoming the NFL’s record holder for passing yardage. Needing three yards for the record, Manning threw a four-yard pass in the flat to Ronnie Hillman and surpassed Brett Favre for the mark. By then, though, Manning had already thrown his first interception, which led to Kansas City’s first touchdown. It got worse from there, and both the quarterback and coach — clearly not on the same page when it comes to what it will take to get the aching 39-yearold through the season — were shouldering the blame. “Guys want to play,” Kubiak said. “That’s why he’s a great player. But as a football coach, sometimes you have to say, ‘No, I don’t think this is the right thing today.’”

KU’s win over MSU revisited choppy: In last year’s 61-56 win over Michigan State in Orlando, KU hit 37 percent of its shots, just three of 14 threes. MSU hit 32.2 percent, six of 17 from three. “Both teams labored to score,” Self said. “They missed a ton of bunnies, point-blank shots. That played to our benefit. Wayne goes 0-for-10. It was not an artistic game at all,” Self added. Indeed, Wayne Selden Jr. scored five points, all at the line. Svi Mykhailiuk did hit three three-pointers, while Perry Ellis had 17 points and nine boards. “It was great because we won,” Self said, “but Tom after the game, when we shook hands, he said, ‘You won, but you’re probably just as upset about this as I am or mad about this as I am.’ I said, ‘No, I’m really not,’’’ Self added, noting that he most cares about the ‘W.’ “It (tough early-season game) is a gauge to help you get better down the road. It’s a nice feather to have later on for seeding purposes and getting in the (NCAA) tournament. Basically it gives you a chance to be basically exposed a little bit so you know what you need to do to get better.” l

Last year vs. UK not pretty: KU junior Landen Lucas remembers the agony of last year’s 72-40 Champions Classic loss to Kentucky. “We have no plans of having anything like that

Diallo doesn’t make trip, Vick out due to eye injury By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Chicago — There was no change in the status of Cheick Diallo on Monday, Kansas University coach Bill Self told the Journal-World after the team’s arrival in Chicago. In fact, Diallo, the freshman forward who has yet to be cleared academically by the NCAA Eligibility Center, did not make the trip with the Jayhawks for today’s game against Michigan State. Don Jackson, attorney for Diallo’s legal guardian, explained Diallo needs a waiver from

the NCAA to be able to travel to games. Meanwhile, freshman guard Lagerald Vick will miss tonight’s game. He had his right eye scratched at practice on Monday and, according to Self, “Doctors said no basketball for a couple days.” l

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo was asked lightheartedly by the Michigan media if he wanted Diallo to be cleared academically by the NCAA in time for today’s Champions Classic game versus KU. “Hell, no, I don’t want to see him,” Izzo said as reported by mlive.com. “The

competitive side of me is competitive enough.” Spartans forward Matt Costello told mlive.com: “You always want to play against the best competition, but even if he can’t play, Kansas still has four or five McDonald’s AllAmerican kids in the big positions.” MSU will be missing junior forward Gavin Schilling (toe sprain) and Marvin Clark (broken foot). Point guard Tum Tum Nairn has been battling plantar fascitis, mlive.com reported, but he’ll play tonight. “He’s tough as nails,” Izzo told the paper.

COLLEGE ROUNDUP

GW stuns No. 6 Virginia The Associated Press

Top 25 Men George Washington 73, No. 6 Virginia 68 Washington — Virginia coach Tony Bennett knew his sixth-ranked Cavaliers would have a tough time with George Washington. The Colonials are a veteran team, their building was loud, and the weather outside was unseasonably warm for mid-November, making it uncomfortable for players on the court. After the Cavaliers’ 73-68 loss Monday night, Bennett wouldn’t hear of any excuses. “We can’t (say), ‘We were just off, it wasn’t our game.’ It wasn’t that. We got outplayed. We got out-executed,” Bennett said. “Sometimes you forget how hard it is, and these settings remind you awfully quick.” The Colonials’ oncampus arena, The Smith Center, was sold out. After their win, some fans stormed the court, but didn’t get in the way of the departing Virginia players. George Washington (2-0) took control with a 10-0 run that began with Patricio Garino’s threepoint play for a 57-55 lead with 8:06 left. Garino added a tip-in and an assist on Tyler Cavanaugh’s layup. Cavanaugh hit two free throws to make it 6455 with 5:24 remaining. Garino and Cavanaugh led the Colonials with 18 points apiece.

While we’re going to miss the senior leadership that we had, we got some kids stepping up in that role, and we had a big summer. It’s good to get going again.” Boys swimming Lawrence High’s boys swimming and diving team finished last year with about 20 swimmers after some people left the squad throughout the season. The Lions started with 29 swimmers and divers on Monday. “Last year we had three freshmen, and we were worried we’d only have three sophomores (this year),” LHS coach Kent McDonald said. “But we have more sophomores out and a group of freshmen, and two new div-

Some years we don’t have any divers, so that’s pretty good.” Free State’s boys swimmers and divers opened their season by establishing some of their goals. Results from last year’s Sunflower League meet were taped on the walls around the pool, showing which times or scores would be necessary in each event to help the team fight for a league title after finishing in second place last season. The Firebirds know they have plenty of talent and depth, especially after opening practice with 39 swimmers and divers. “That’s my most,” coach Annette McDonald said. “Top number ever.”

BIG 12 FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

WVU one win from bowl-eligibility By Stephen Hawkins AP Sports Writer

West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen will finally talk about the Mountaineers’ chances to get into a bowl this season. “We got five (wins),” Holgorsen said Monday during the Big 12 coaches teleconference. “When it’s one more, that’s when I feel it’s appropriate to start talking about it.” Texas Tech on Saturday became the fifth Big 12 team to get the sixth victory that guarantees bowl-eligibility. The Red Raiders joined the four Top 25 teams still contending for the league title and a possible playoff spot — No. 4 Oklahoma State, No. 7 Oklahoma, No. 10 Baylor and No. 11 TCU. West Virginia (54), which has won two games in a row since an 0-4 Big 12 start against the playoff contenders, has three more chances to get eligible for its 14th bowl in 15 seasons. Texas (4-6) and Kansas State (36) are the only other Big 12 teams that can get to six wins, but neither can lose another game.

WEST VIRGINIA COACH DANA HOLGORSEN WATCHES OVER WARMUPS prior to the Mountaineers’ 38-20 victory over Texas on Saturday in Morgantown, West Virginia. WVU will visit Kansas University on Saturday. “It was tough in October. There’s no doubt about it, we played four really good teams and caught them all four, it seems, like when they were playing at their best,” Holgorsen said. “We’ve got about 20 seniors. We met with those guys, and said we’ve got a lot to play for.” The Mountaineers

are at winless Kansas University on Saturday, then play Iowa State and Kansas State. The Wildcats, who also play the Jayhawks (0-10) and Cyclones (3-7) need three consecutive wins. “Yes, we address it, but we can’t belabor the point because it is common knowledge and understood by everybody in

our program, or anybody that’s not in our program for that matter,” K-State coach Bill Snyder said. “If we’re thinking down the road for three games, then we’re going to be in trouble.” Kansas State is 0-6 in Big 12 play for the first time ever, a stretch that includes a 36-34 loss to Oklahoma State and sev-

en-point losses to Baylor and TCU. The Wildcats are home for the Dec. 5 regular-season finale against WVU. Texas Tech ended a three-game losing streak and got bowl-eligible Saturday with a 59-44 victory over Kansas State. The Red Raiders next have their regular-season finale Thanksgiving night at Texas, which then will have another game at Baylor. “They’re going to come out and go compete,” Longhorns coach Charlie Strong said, when asked about keeping his players focused not throwing in the towel. “I don’t see them quitting at all.” The Big 12 has agreements this season with seven bowl games, and might not have enough eligible teams to fill those spots. That doesn’t even count a national semifinal game if the Big 12 champion makes the four-team playoff. If left out of the playoff, the Big 12 winner would instead play an SEC team in the Sugar Bowl.

last two games, which includes their Bedlam rivalry to end the regular season. “We understand the task at hand,” Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said. The Sooners have won five games in a row, the latest over two-time defending Big 12 champ and previously undefeated Baylor.

Notes Some other notes from the Big 12 call: n TCU coach Gary Patterson on the status of banged-up quarterback Trevone Boykin and injured receiver Josh Doctson: “Possibly questionable.” n Baylor coach Art Briles, whose team has to follow its first loss by playing at undefeated Oklahoma State, was asked about the challenge of that kind of turnaround. “We use the word opportunity,” he said. n Texas Tech averaged 60 points a game at home this season. The Red Raiders are scoring half that on the road. “We’ve played very well at home,” coach Kliff Control their destiny Kingsbury said. “We’ve Either Oklahoma State got to somehow translate or Oklahoma can claim the that to our road games as Big 12 title by winning its well.”

“You don’t ever want to be in a bounce-back mode, but I think for us, it’s just you just do what you do,” Briles said. “You prepare each week, you’re playing each week and you have good hope each week, and belief. That’s something that’s never going to change.” Since the Big 12 is no longer declaring cochampions — like last season when Baylor and TCU shared the title — the Bears couldn’t claim a championship this year if they finish tied

with Oklahoma. But they could be the champs by beating Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas in their last three regular-season games, and having the Horned Frogs and/or Cowboys beat Oklahoma. “The way I can mathematically figure it, I think we’re still very much alive,” Briles said. When asked if he felt the Bears could still make the four-team CFP playoff if they win out and other pieces fall into place, Briles wasn’t as specific. “Really, I hadn’t even thought that far, and re-

ally hadn’t thought that far prior to last week,” he said. “We’re actually in the situation now where our vision is pretty tunnel. It’s Stillwater this Saturday at 6:30 p.m., and whatever happens from there happens, and I think we all know that it’s pretty hard to predict what’s going to happen.” Senior linebacker Grant Campbell said the mood and spirits of the team were still good, and that the Bears were approaching this week like every other one this season.

Briles said freshman quarterback Jarrett Stidham was “bruised and sore” but otherwise fine after taking a hit on the opening series against the Sooners, his first home start since junior Seth Russell’s season-ending neck surgery. An MRI on Stidham came back clean. “I feel good. I’m feeling a lot better. Saturday, after the game, I was feeling pretty bad,” Stidham said. “But that’s just part of it, and today I’m feeling a lot better.” L awrence J ournaL -w orLd
