LAWRENCE

DEATHS

Menards CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The Lawrence chamber of commerce on Monday morning announced Midwest Manufacturing, a division of Menard Inc., has reached a preliminary deal to buy 90 acres of property in Lawrence VenturePark, the new business park on the east edge of Lawrence that previously housed Farmland Industries. If the deal is finalized, Menards would become the first tenant of the new business park. “It is an exciting opportunity,” said Brady Pollington, vice president of the Economic Development Corporation of Lawrence and Douglas County, which helped broker the deal. “The community will get 100 jobs, and people in Lawrence won’t have to drive 30 or 40 minutes to find a good job that pays a living wage.” Menard Inc. plans to invest $25 million to build the project, which will include multiple buildings and 170,000 to 200,000 square feet of production and distribution space. Pollington said plans call for the plant to build exterior stone products, roof trusses and possibly other types of building products.

Officials voice support The project still must win City Commission approval, including a request for a 50 percent, 10year tax abatement. City and county officials expressed preliminary support for the project on Monday. Officials with Menard Inc. haven’t yet commented on the deal. Mayor Mike Amyx said the city is “committed to the project’s success.” “We are talking 90 acres, 100 jobs and $25 million in investment” Amyx said. “This is a huge commitment to Lawrence. We should all be excited about this.” Douglas County officials also signaled support. “This project will greatly benefit Douglas County and its residents,” Jim Flory, chair of the Douglas County Commission, said. “Menard Inc. is a growing company, and we’re thankful they prefer to make a large investment here.” Pollington said jobs at the center will include production and assembly workers, technical positions to maintain the plant’s production equipment, and truck drivers to be part of the Menards fleet. Pollington said all the jobs at the plant will meet the city’s living wage standards, which currently stand at $12.56 per hour plus benefits. The living wage level rises each year because it is pegged to the federal poverty level for a family of three. The city’s living wage ordinance requires that firms

Lawrence still needs to demonstrate that it can pull off a deal like this. The region will be watching what we do.” — Brady Pollington, vice president of the Economic Development Corporation of Lawrence and Douglas County

GENERAL MANAGER that receive a property tax abatement must pay a wage that is at least 130 percent of the federal poverty level. Menard Inc. will seek a 10-year, 50 percent tax abatement for the development, Pollington said. The total value of the incentive package is about $2.1 million, with some of the money coming from the state of Kansas for workforce training assistance, Pollington said. A key part of the deal, though, is that Menard Inc. is agreeing to pay for the land and the special assessments that are attached to the property. Pollington said the purchase price of the land and the payment of the special assessments — which were used to fund utility and road improvements at the park — will equal about $2.1 million. Pollington said chamber officials are pleased with the incentives package that has been negotiated for the deal. Pollington said the 50 percent, 10-year abatement is less than what has been given to some other manufacturing projects in the area, and he said the Menard project will rehabilitate a rail spur that travels through VenturePark. Once the Menards deal is finalized, there still will be about 130 acres of property available for industrial development in the park. “This would be the perfect first tenant for the park,” Pollington said. The City Commission is expected to receive the tax abatement request in early December, and it likely will take several weeks for the proposed deal to be debated at City Hall.

An important deal Local economic development leaders have been working on landing the Menards deal for more than a year. Pollington said the VenturePark property gave Lawrence an advantage in landing the project. VenturePark is near the northeast corner of 23rd Street and O’Connell Road. The park — which was home to the former Farmland nitrogen fertilizer plant before that company went bankrupt in the early 2000s — is near the eastern end of the South Lawrence Trafficway bypass project, which is scheduled to open late next year. “The SLT was huge in this deal,” Pollington said. “We’re in a great location, especially with the rail service at the site.” Pollington, though, stressed the deal isn’t yet done. He said navigating the project through the incentive process and

other needed approvals from City Hall will be important. “It has been a while since we have had an announcement like this,” Pollington said. “Lawrence still needs to demonstrate that it can pull off a deal like this. The region will be watching what we do. It could create some momentum for us.” City Commissioner Leslie Soden, who has been critical of some economic development incentives, said the proposed incentive package for Menard Inc. appeared to be a good one. “I’m absolutely excited about this project,” Soden said. “During the campaign I talked about how incentives should be used for permanent, full-time jobs, and this is a great example of that.” Amyx also said he currently was viewing the incentive package favorably. “When we look at public incentives and how they should be used, I think this is an example of how we ought to use them,” Amyx said.

Reviving a property Community leaders are hoping for additional companies to locate at VenturePark, which officially was opened by the city in October 2014. The city and county, though, spent more than a decade working on plans to take over ownership of the former fertilizer plant that had several environmental violations related to years of nitrogen fertilizer spills on the property. Eventually, the city received ownership of the property as part of Farmland Industries bankruptcy proceedings. The city did not pay any money for the property, but rather agreed to assume responsibility for the environmental cleanup. As part of the deal, the city received about $8.5 million in trust fund money from the Farmland bankruptcy to care for the property. The city also issued about $8.5 million in debt to build roads and other necessary infrastructure for the park. It is seeking to repay that debt through special assessments on the property’s tax bills. “That’s the best part about this project,” Pollington said. “We had a failing piece of property, and the community made an investment in it to bring it back to life. Now we are really getting close to the payoff.” — Managing Editor Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362 or clawhorn@ljworld.com.

Kari Bruffett, Secretary of the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, will leave that job Dec. 31 to become the new policy director at the Kansas Health Institute, Gov. Sam Brownback announced Monday. Bruffett has been a central figure in the Brownback administration’s efforts to reorganize the state’s health care policy system since he took of-

tary of KDADS in May 2014 where she oversaw a $1.6 billion budget. That agency oversees the state’s Older Americans Act programs, including Medicaid-funded nursing homes, behavioral health programs and home and community-based services for older adults and individuals with disabilities. “Kari has served the citizens of Kansas well in her role with KDADS,” Brownback said in a statement. “She has dedicated her career to serv-

ing those in need and I am grateful for her service to the State.” Bruffett will take over as policy director at KHI effective Jan. 6.

Lawrence was selected by NetWork Kansas, a state organization promoting entrepreneurship, to receive $125,000 in tax credits to be converted into loans for local businesses. NetWork Kansas chose Lawrence and Wichita as its pilot “Metropolitan Entrepreneurship Communities.” Since 2007, the organization has given the same type of benefit to 53 other Kansas communities, most of which are rural. The intent of the program is to give more fi-

form for entrepreneurs to share their ideas. Starting in the second quarter of 2016, money from the new loan fund will be distributed as matching loans to eligible entrepreneurs.

Lawrence named ‘Entrepreneurship Community’ By Nikki Wentling

The Obama administration reached out to local and regional news outlets Monday to push back against governors and the U.S. House for their efforts to block Syrian refugees from resettling in the United States. In a conference call with reporters, the administration brought out Madeleine Albright, who served as U.N. ambassador and secretary of State under President Bill Clinton, as well as Alejandro Mayorkas, deputy secretary of Homeland Security, both of whom came to the United States as refugees. “I can’t imagine fleeing from terrorism and violence, only to be told that I’m too much of a security threat to be admitted into the United States,” said Albright, whose family fled Czechoslovakia in 1948. “It’s just plain wrong and it sends the wrong message to the world.” “The debate over refugees has been driven by fear, and our policies should never be based on the fear factor,” she said. Albright did not compare her family’s situation with that of Syrian refugees. Her family was not a “hardship case,” she said, and they came to the U.S. on diplomatic passports. “But I do know what it’s like to have to leave your home and travel halfway around the

Thanksgiving travel safety tips Refugees CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

t’s almost Thanksgiving and law enforcement are celebrating by cracking down on drunken drivers and those without seat belts. If more folks are safe this holiday season, that’s something we can all be thankful for. I reported last week that the Lawrence Police Department would be participating in the statewide “Kansas Thanksgiving Enforcement Campaign” funded by the Kansas Department of Transportation. LPD spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said officers will be “focus(ing) on identifying impaired drivers and those not using seat belts and child restraint devices.” Well, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Kansas Highway Patrol said that starting Monday, they have joined the enforcement campaign. So, don’t let that turkey get to you. Be a smart driver this week, and buckle up. lll

In other business, the board reviewed a report detailing the efficiency of its facilities. Tony Barron, director of facilities and operations for the school district, presented the report, noting two areas where the district can improve. Using a software management system, the district can compare data regarding use of its facilities with about 6,000 other districts throughout the country. Barron said those comparisons show that the district spends more on utilities than most districts and collects less funds than other districts for community use of its facilities after school hours. The software can be used in future to help manage improvements in both areas, he said. The next school board meeting will be 7 p.m. Dec. 14 at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

In addition, the U.S. House passed a bill last week that would require the FBI to certify that each refugee from Syria or Iraq has passed a security background check. All four representatives from Kansas — Republicans Lynn Jenkins, Kevin Yoder, Mike Pompeo and Tim Huelskamp — voted in favor of the bill. But DHS Deputy Secretary Mayorkas, whose family came to the U.S. from Cuba when he was a year old, said it is unlikely that would-be terrorists would try to use the refugee process to enter the United States because it’s a process that typically takes 18 to 24 months and involves an extensive screening process, both by the United Nations and multiple U.S. agencies. “The refugees seeking admission to the United States undergo the most intense security vetting of any immigrants seeking admission to our nation,” he said. Mayorkas said the process begins with screening by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, whose staff is specifically trained in the admissions rules and criteria of the United States. That office then prioritizes applicants seeking entry into the U.S., with top priority given to victims of torture, single females, and people with family ties in the U.S. Those that are deemed preliminarily eligible for entry into the U.S. are then referred to the State Department, which contracts with resettlement support centers, including faith-based organizations, as well as the International Organization for Migration to conduct additional screening. He said the State Department also conducts its own, independent security check, using its Consular Lookout and Support System database, commonly known as CLASS. “This security check of the refugee’s name and any aliases searches the database for such things as criminal history, immigration history, terrorismrelated concerns, and any prior visa application dispositions,” Mayorkas said. “Significantly, for certain groups who are deemed to pose a heightened security concern, such as single males from Iraq or Syria between the ages of 16 and 50, the Department of State conducts another layer of security checks, known as a Security Advisory Opinion, or SAO,” he said. “If, and only if, a refugee applicant passes the Department of State security checks, after having already been vetted by UN-HCR, then the refugee’s packet of information is prepared for review by the Department of Homeland Security,” he said. Also taking part in the teleconference were Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and Austin, Texas, Mayor Steve Adler, both of whom said they are welcoming Syrian and Iraqi refugees into their cities. The American Civil Liberties Union and some legal scholars have questioned whether Brownback and the other governors have the legal authority to block certain classes of refugees from entering their state. The ACLU of Kansas has said it believes Brownback’s action is unconstitutional because it denies federally funded benefits to one class of applicants based solely on the person’s national origin. Brownback has defended his executive order, saying he is confident it is both legal and enforceable.

Lawrence Schools Foundation announces new leadership Larry Brow, library assistant at Kansas University, Lawrence “I think intolerance and intolerable views get a lot of publicity these days. So it’s hard to say if the problem is worse than before.”

The Lawrence Schools Foundation announced new leadership on Monday. Dena Johnston was named as executive director of the foundation by its board of trustees. The LSF raises money to benefit educational programs within Lawrence public schools. Johnston, who will start her new position in January, replaces Adina Morse, who resigned in October. “On behalf of the Board

most rewarding of my career — and I mean that sincerely,” he said. “There have been some really, really challenging issues that we have dealt with.” In his new position at KELI, Doll said he will be both mentoring and teaching, probably in the doctoral program. KELI’s mission is mentoring new superintendents and principals, as well as providing ongoing professional training. Doll made clear that the reason he was leaving his position was that he wanted to return to his love of teaching. “It’s very appealing to me to educate the next generation of administrators, but it’s also very difficult to think about leaving Lawrence,” Doll said, choking up as he noted the support he has had from the board and its trust in him to lead the district. During Doll’s tenure, the district has worked toward closing achievement gaps through a focus on equity among schools as well as subgroups of students. In the past several years, graduation rates at both high schools have improved. “I will leave it to others to really judge the effectiveness of my leadership, but I’m really most proud of our equity work,” Doll said, as he paused again. “I think that it has been embedded in the school district and having courageous conversations about race and achievement I hope will live on.” During Doll’s tenure, schools facilities and

of Directors of Lawrence Schools Foundation, I am delighted to welcome Dena as Johnston our new executive director,” said LSF Board President Gail Vick, in a news release. “Dena’s leadership and creativity will help us further our mission to support

the great public schools in Lawrence.” Johnston currently serves as the chief operating officer and administrator for OrthoKansas LLC. She received her bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology and nursing certification from Kansas State University in 1999. Prior to her work in health care administration, she spent four years working in the nursing field in Topeka and Lawrence.

She serves on various boards and committees throughout Lawrence and Douglas County, including Leadership Lawrence, the Lawrence Medical Managers Board, Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and Parents of West Warhawks. Her husband, Kevin, and their three children, ages 3, 9 and 12, live in Lawrence, where their oldest two children attend Lawrence Public Schools.

technologies have also been upgraded. In 2013, voters approved the $92.5 million school bond issue to improve facilities at all 20 schools in the district and build the new Lawrence College and Career Center. The final six school construction projects are scheduled to begin in the spring. Doll received his bachelor of arts degree in history at McPherson College and his master of science degree and an E.D. in educational administration at Kansas State University. The Kansas Association of School Administrators named Doll the 2014 Kansas Superintendent of the Year. The University Council for Educational Administration honored Doll with its 2002 Excellence in Educational Leadership Award. Doll’s resignation will be effective at the end of the current school year, on June 30, 2016. “You have my word that I will push forward in these next six or seven months. I look forward to passing the baton to the next very capable leader,” Doll said. School board President Vanessa Sanburn said that Doll has been in his position for the entirety of her time on the board, and that she has enjoyed working with him. “It’s been a total pleasure to work with you, and the one thing I will always remember is your willingness to take on any issue,” she said, explaining that topics like achievement gaps and race are difficult to talk about, but are in the best interest of the kids. “I do think we will obviously have some very large shoes to fill,” she said.

Finding a new superintendent The Lawrence school board will begin the process to hire Doll’s replacement immediately. A meeting among Sanburn, school board Vice President Marcel Harmon and Director of Human Resources David Cunningham is scheduled for today. Cunningham told the board that because application deadlines for superintendent positions at other districts are in early and mid-January, the process needs to start as soon as possible. The first decision to make is whether the district will hire an executive search firm to aid in the process, which he said was typical for a district of Lawrence’s size and was done previously. He estimated hiring a firm would cost about $30,000. “Whether we are in house or going with an executive search firm, there are a number of procedures we need to think though,” Cunningham said, noting that there is a fair amount of work necessary. “Time is kind of the essence here.” A board work session will be scheduled prior to the board’s next meeting on Dec. 14, in which they will discuss the replacement process, including whether the district will hire an outside firm. “This is probably the most important thing you’ll do as a board,” Doll said before the meeting adjourned. He explained that it is not his role to be involved in the selection process. “I’d encourage you to move very judiciously, but also fairly quickly so you don’t miss those candidates that are out there right now.”

Prior to joining Lawrence Public Schools, Doll served four years as superintendent of Louisburg USD 416, 12 years as superintendent of Rock Creek USD 323, two years as an associate professor at Kansas State University and four years as assistant superintendent for instruction in McPherson USD 418. He previously served six years as principal of Wamego High School, and three years as principal, one year as assistant principal and three years as a history and political science teacher at Herington High School. lll

EDITORIALS

School equity Equalizing the academic achievement at Lawrence’s two public high schools may require some targeted funding and programs.

ver since Lawrence decided to build a second public high school, district officials, as well as the community at large, have placed a high priority on “equity” — the need to make sure that Lawrence High School and Free State High School offer the same level of facilities and instruction for their students. Knowing that socioeconomic status is a major factor in student performance, the district drew the boundary line for the two schools from east to west down 15th Street in an effort to provide approximately the same socioeconomic balance at both schools. However, even though the district has done a good job of equalizing student opportunities at the two schools, it has been unable to equalize students’ academic achievement. LHS has consistently lagged behind FSHS in such areas as standardized test scores and graduation rates, as well as the number of students enrolled in advanced classes and the number taking the ACT college entrance exam. This school year, 43 percent of students at LHS are enrolled in the free and reduced-price lunch program, which is the district’s most accurate socioeconomic measure; 31 percent of FSHS students are enrolled in that program. However, students and teachers at both schools are quick to say it’s wrong to use the lunch data as the basis for generalized judgments about the schools. Both schools, they say, have students who face unstable living situations; one school isn’t “better” than the other. As noted above, the school district has done a good job of making sure students at both schools have broad course offerings, qualified teachers and good facilities, but providing “equal” opportunities hasn’t been enough to improve student success at LHS. If LHS has a larger number of students facing socioeconomic challenges, maybe that school needs more counselors or support programs for its students. That means more spending, which is hard to come by given the current state funding situation, and school board members may have to look at directing a disproportionate amount of resources to LHS in an effort to balance student achievement levels between the two schools. Both Lawrence high schools are great schools that have graduation and test scores that exceed state and national averages, and it would be tragic for them to gain reputations as “the good high school” and “the better high school” in Lawrence. This is a tough situation and school district officials should be congratulated for having open discussions about how to improve it. Their efforts are important to the futures of both LHS and FSHS.

Empowering Sunnis in Iraq is key How should the United States respond to Islamic State attacks in Paris? The response from the Republican presidential candidates has been to whip up hysteria over Syrian refugees and hostility toward all Muslims — with rhetoric so repulsive that it shames the country. Ben Carson likened refugees to “rabid dogs,” while Donald Trump said he would “absolutely” create a database to track Muslims inside the country. Much easier to play the demagogue than to present a detailed plan. To her credit, Hillary Clinton did just that in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations on Thursday. She called for an intensified focus on Syria (implicitly criticizing President Barack Obama’s timid approach). But to my mind, her most important point was about Iraq. She called for U.S. help for Iraqi Sunni tribal leaders who want to fight ISIS but can’t get the weapons and support to do it. That is the one step that, in the near term, might set the so-called caliphate back on its heels.

Why not Syria? Why do I focus on Iraq, not Syria? Because I see little chance of routing Islamic State in Syria, even with a more resolute policy than Obama’s. Airstrikes alone won’t do it (although more U.S. special forces on the ground would make them more effective). Almost no one, certainly not Trump or Clinton, advocates sending tens of thousands of U.S. ground troops. So it is crucial to find Arab allies on the ground who can drive Islamic State back with our help.

But the Obama administration insists on funneling weapons and training for the tribes through the Shiite-led central government, which passes on almost nothing to the Sunnis.” Right now, our main allies in Syria are Kurds, who are liberating areas that they want to hold in the future. But they can’t liberate the heavily Sunni territory at the heart of the caliphate. Obama missed his chance in 2012 to aid thousands of moderate Syrian Sunni fighters, including many army defectors, who might have developed into a viable force to repel both Islamic State and Bashar Assad. Those moderates have long since fled, been killed or joined Islamist militias out of frustration. This leaves Washington without a ground force that can crush the Syrian portion of the jihadi state.

Coalition unlikely As for enlisting the help of Russia or even Iran in a grand coalition to defeat the jihadis, forget it. Moscow and Tehran hold all the cards in new diplomatic efforts to end the Syrian conflict. Even after the terrorists’ downing of a Russian plane, Putin’s pri-

mary goal — and Iran’s — is to bolster the Assad regime, not to defeat Islamic State. This practically guarantees that the talks — or any plan to hold Syrian elections — will ultimately fail. Thus the best chance to squeeze the caliphate, which extends across eastern Syria and western Iraq, is to push from the Iraqi side of the border. This is why it is so important for the administration to stop its shillyshallying about helping Iraqi Sunni tribal leaders who have been eager to enter the fight for more than a year. “If Iraq is the only front where we can reduce ISIS, it becomes acutely important to get back the cities there that they control,” said retired Col. Richard Welch, who spent more than six years working with Sunni tribal leaders in Iraq. The U.S. military is familiar with many of these tribal leaders, who took part in the “Awakening” movement during the middle of the last decade. At that time, U.S. forces helped them roll back al-Qaida. Last week, I spoke by phone to Sheikh Abdullah alYawar of the Shammar tribe, whose base is near Iraq’s border with Syria. His tribe has been battling jihadis for more than a decade. Six months ago, when I visited the sheikh, he hoped to get U.S. support to re-enter the fight against Islamic State, but he says nothing has happened since then. “We met with Americans last June and told them we had 4,000 volunteers and gave them a list at the end of July,” Yawar told me Thursday. “They told me that in two months, they would start training 2,400 and would give

us weapons. But since then, nothing has happened, nothing has changed.” Many other Sunni sheikhs are also eager to fight Islamic State in Iraq’s Sunni heartlands, where the extremists have captured major cities such as Ramadi and Mosul, which is the heart of the so-called caliphate. But the Obama administration insists on funneling weapons and training for the tribes through the Shiite-led central government, which passes on almost nothing to the Sunnis. (U.S. weapons are reaching Iraqi Kurds, but the Kurds — as in Syria — can’t go it alone.)

Direct Sunni aid withheld The administration has been holding off for months on aiding Sunni tribes directly, waiting for the Iraqi parliament to pass a national guard law that would subsume Sunni tribal fighters under the national Iraqi army. But Iranian pressure has blocked the law’s passage. The result: Only a couple of thousand Sunnis have joined the struggle. “There are no real Sunni fighters being trained to take back Mosul,” says Yawar. “Seriously, there is nothing moving to face ISIS.” This is nuts. As Clinton put it Thursday: “We need to lay the foundation for a Second Sunni Awakening. We need to put sustained pressure on the government in Baghdad to … finally stand up a national guard … arming Sunni and Kurdish forces … . If Baghdad won’t do that, the coalition should do so directly.” This is the kind of serious issue candidates should be discussing, not registering all Muslims or banning refugees. — Trudy Rubin is a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Another blemish To the editor: America is on the verge of adding another dark blemish to our history. To the history of slaughtering Native Americans and then relocating them on reservations, brutal enslavement of African-Americans and then subjecting them to segregation and prejudice, the internment of American Japanese, we are about to add slamming our door on refugees from Syria. I am fortunate that my parents did not instill in me the values behind these acts, but instead, acceptance, compassion, integrity, and courage. After serving my country in Vietnam and Iraq (two tours), I will not allow politicians to instill fear in me in their attempt to manipulate me. No governor, politician, law enforcement agency, or military can guarantee my safety and security. God is the rock of my soul and in control of my life and my destiny. I believe in loving my neighbor. I do not limit myself to the people next door, to when it is convenient and safe, when there are no risks, etc. I believe that it is the right thing to do and what I hope someone would do for me if I was in their situation. Native Americans were unable to

slam the door on the people invading their country and, as a result, they and America paid a horrific price. Syrians are pleading with us, not invading America, and they live in fear for their lives. I hope that if you, with your family running for your lives, knocked on my front door that I would open the door. Daniel Lonnquist, Lawrence

Words signify To the editor: A lead story on the front page must be news. By definition, it is news. The purpose of news is to inform, inform the public so the public can decide public issues. The story must therefore be sufficiently informative to enable the public to make choices. The lead story in Journal-World on Nov. 21 concerned the suspension and investigation of an assistant professor for using the “n-----” word. Is she racist? Did she act inappropriately? Or was she attempting to teach to the real world using real world terms and, for doing so, has become the victim of a political correctness that has been judged by many to stifle both thought and speech? We have been polarized, prepared

to line up on either side of a pre-determined debate. Left, right — March! Words are meant to signify. Some signify ugliness and some beauty, but we need all of them. If we don’t know the words, we cannot write the story. If we know the words then all we need are the freedom and the courage to use them. But here we don’t know what happened and are left to read between the lines. Was the incident isolated, or part of a pattern of conduct? What did she say, and in what context? If she was wrong, was it malicious or merely inartful? Should she be applauded for bringing real world issues into the classroom, criticized for bad teaching methods or shunned as a racist? We simply don’t know. William Skepnek, Lawrence

The program used the track and field at LHS, and the donation will go toward the school’s general athletic fund.

He added that no matter what else the two men were doing, they kept their doors open, “and we found a way to try to do what’s best for the American people.” Clinton, a Democrat and the 42nd president of the United States, was in Lawrence to accept the 2015 Dole Leadership prize, bestowed annually by KU’s Dole Institute of Politics. Dole, 92, the former Republican U.S. Senator from Kansas for whom the institute and prize are named, did not attend the event. Clinton called this the most “interdependent” age in human history, one in which forces positive and negative are colliding. He said bipartisanship is the key to ensure the future is bountiful, urging America and the world to focus on shared goals instead of differences. “The polarization of American politics is present not just in Washington but in American life,” Clinton told a capacity crowd at the 2,210-seat Lied Center auditorium on the KU campus. “Look at how many of our collective bigotries we’ve been able to overcome in America in the last 100 years,” he said. “We are less racist than we used to be. We are less sexist than we used to be. We are less religiously bigoted than we used to be. We are less homophobic than we used to be. We have one remaining bigotry: We don’t want to be around anyone who disagrees with us.” Clinton said something happened to Dole, lying in the hospital struggling to recover from wounds he sustained in World War II, that made it possible for him to identify with other people. “That is the essence of the test we all face today,” Clinton said. Dole ran unsuccessfully for president against Clinton in 1996.

Clinton, who came to town to accept the 2015 Dole Leadership Prize, spoke at length about bipartisanship. He emphasized the importance of working together for the greater good, and said a large group will always come up with better solutions than a few elite. Breanna Bell, a freshman from Lawrence, said being able to see a former president speak on campus was “really nice.” She liked how Clinton said it doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or a Republican, a man or a woman. “We’re all human; we all want to live in a world that’s safe.

Pumped! Gas below $2 for Turkey Day Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Thrilling news holiday travelers: Fill up that tank and you won’t break the bank this year. In fact, it will be less than you paid in more than a decade. The average price of unleaded gasoline is expected to hit $1.99 on Thanksgiving, GasBuddy.com analysts reported Monday. That’s the lowest it’s been for Turkey Day since 2004, said Tom Kloza, global head of energy

analysis for the Oil Price Information Service, an outfit that keep tabs on energy pricing trends worldwide. Right now, the average is $2.072, Kloza said. Nearly 60% of U.S. gas stations are already selling gas for less than $2 per gallon, but prices, he says, are still falling. “The cheapest markets are in the Great Lakes states,” Kloza said. Some of the cheapest prices in the Midwest are in Indiana ($1.803), Ohio ($1.804) and Missouri ($1.860), according to Gas Buddy, an online service in which consumers report on what they

paid for gas at particular stations. The South is also enjoying low prices, including Alabama ($1.841), Mississippi ($1.855), Texas ($1.855) and South Carolina ($1.841). The highest price in the continental U.S. is $2.740 in California. Gas prices are down from $2.81 per gallon a year ago, according to GasBuddy. But the news at the pump for consumers is bad news for energy producers. The global energy industry is facing a massive surplus in oil production, which has led many oil companies to shed thousands

of jobs and slash investment plans. But U.S. producers have continued pumping oil even as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has kept production at a high rate. That has pushed down prices. “This is a glut of crude,” Kloza said. The typical U.S. driver will save about $75 on the road in the 40day peak shopping season leading up to Christmas, compared with recent averages, Kloza said. About 67% of Thanksgiving travelers plan to drive more than 200 miles, GasBuddy reported.

Putin visits Iran, bearing gift of deal for uranium Oren Dorell USA TODAY

SERGEY GUNEEV, SPUTNIK/KREMLIN, VIA EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Russian President Vladimir Putin paid a visit to Iran’s supreme leader in Tehran on Monday and brought along two coveted deals. Before leaving Moscow, Putin lifted a ban on uranium exports to Iran. The move is linked to Russia’s plan to import enriched uranium from Iran, according to Russian state-owned media site RT. The nuclear deal signed between Iran and world powers in July requires Iran to dilute or ship 98% of its enriched uranium, and it does not have the capacity to dilute it. Putin also presented Ayatollah

Ali Khamenei with a copy of the Quran, Islam’s holy book, according to the supreme leader’s website. Iranian media reported Monday that Russia also began delivering an advanced S-300 air-defense system that had been on hold for years.

Iran’s ambassador to Moscow, Mehdi Sanaei, said the missiledelivery process began under a new contract between Tehran and Moscow, according to Iranian state-owned media Tasnim. In April, Putin lifted a ban on selling five S-300 missile systems to Iran, according to a deal reached in 2007 that was suspended in 2010 as world powers sought to pressure Iran to negotiate limits to its nuclear program. Putin also addressed a natural gas export summit in Tehran.

British Prime Minister David Cameron called Monday for Britain to join the growing ranks of nations bombing the Islamic State’s home base in Syria. French President Francois Hollande and Cameron visited the deadliest scenes of Paris’ attacks, including the Bataclan theater, where an American rock band was performing when terrorists struck, killing 89. In all, 130 people died in a series of attacks that the Islamic State said it carried out Nov. 13. Later Monday, the U.S. State Department issued a rare worldwide travel alert that comes as millions of Americans prepare for Thanksgiving holiday trips. The alert warned about threats posed by the Islamic State, which claimed credit for the Paris attacks, and copycat bombers. “U.S. citizens should exercise vigilance when in public places or using transportation,” the alert said. “Be aware of immediate surroundings and avoid large crowds or crowded places. Exercise particular caution during the holiday season and at holiday festivals or events.” Hollande, who wants a stronger international coalition to combat the Islamic State, will visit Washington on Tuesday and will travel to Moscow this week. He won a new ally in Cameron, who pledged to press his Parliament to approve British airstrikes in Syria. Parliament rejected a similar request to target Syria in 2013, although Britain participates in a U.S.-led coalition conducting airstrikes against the Islamic State in Iraq. Cameron offered Hollande use of a British air base in Cyprus to aid the fight. The United States, France, Russia and Turkey are among the countries that have intensified airstrikes against the Islamic State, which considers Raqqa, Syria, as its headquarters.

Manhunt underway after New Orleans gunmen shoot 17 Crowd in park caught in middle of dispute Greg Toppo @gtoppo USA TODAY

The night began as it often does in the Big Easy with lively parties stretching from block to block in the city’s Upper 9th Ward. It ended in a neighborhood park where the gunshots drowned out the music, sent 17 people, including a 10-year-old, to the hospital with gunshot wounds and launched police on a

citywide manhunt for the perpetrators. Hundreds of people witnessed the shooting late Sunday in the Bunny Friend Park, but Mayor Mitch Landrieu said he’s frustrated that few have come forward to identify who committed an act he likened to “domestic terrorism.” “It’s really hard to police against a bunch of guys who decide to pull out guns and settle disputes with 300 people between them,” Landrieu said Monday. The shots broke out late Sunday as a group of as many as 500 gathered to film an impromptu music video. The crowd was ap-

Landrieu said, speaking of the shooters. He said most victims were out of the hospital. Witnesses said the gathering at the playground followed the annual second line parade by the

Nine Times Social & Pleasure Club, which took place a block or two from the shooting scene. Second line parades are “the descendants of the New Orleans’ famous jazz funerals and ... they carry many of the same traditions with them,” according to FrenchQuarter.com. Members of Nine Times said the party at the playground wasn’t their event and they weren’t even aware of it. “I was back in Baton Rouge by the time I heard about the shooting,” Raymond Williams, 52, told The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune.

OBAMA, HOLLANDE TO DISCUSS ISLAMIC STATE U.S. ground troops unlikely to be part of more robust strategy David Jackson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President Obama and his French counterpart, Francois Hollande, will meet Tuesday to discuss revamped efforts to defeat the Islamic State, although their plans probably won’t include an injection of American ground troops. Obama and aides have pledged an intensification of their strategy, which stresses airstrikes and training local forces to carry the fight on the ground in Syria and Iraq. “There is a comprehensive strategy that is being implemented by the United States and the 64 other members of our coalition,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. Less than two weeks after attacks in Paris triggered terrorism warnings across the globe, Hollande’s White House visit is part of his effort to stitch together an international coalition to fight the insurgent group that claimed responsibility for the assault that claimed at least 130 lives. Hollande has said his country is at war with the jihadists, who

Hollande met Monday with British Prime Minister David Cameron and will follow up his White House visit by meeting this week with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He plans to speak Sunday with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

The U.S. strategy includes deployment of 50 special operations forces, as well as humanitarian assistance and diplomatic efforts.

The U.S. strategy includes deployment of 50 special operations forces, as well as humanitarian assistance and diplomatic efforts aimed at a political settlement in Syria. Vice President Biden met Monday with officials from 59 of the 65 nations that are part of the anti-Islamic State coalition, Earnest said. The conversation “focused on how countries who are part of our coalition can ramp up their con-

tributions to our efforts,” Earnest said. In addition to expressing “solidarity and support” for France, Earnest said, Obama will discuss with Hollande ways in which their two countries can step up the fight against the Islamic State, which is also known as ISIL or ISIS. “We did see French military pilots carry out an additional round or two of airstrikes over Syria, and we certainly welcome that contribution,” Earnest said. “I think there is plenty for the two leaders to talk about.” Obama and Hollande will see each other again shortly after Tuesday’s meeting. Early next week, Obama will travel to France for a meeting of global leaders on climate change. Critics, including the Republican presidential candidates, have criticized Obama’s Islamic State strategy as inadequate, and some have called for use of ground troops. Obama defended his strategy throughout his recent trip to Asia, saying Sunday that it will lead to the destruction of the Islamic State. “We’re going to get it done, and we’re going to pursue it with every aspect of American power and with all the coalition partners that we’ve assembled,” Obama said. “It’s going to get done.”

Russia-Iran courtship has its limitations On many issues, they are as much competitors as allies Oren Dorell USA TODAY

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Iran on Monday highlights multiple converging interests between the two countries, but it’s unclear the courtship will turn into a lasting marriage. Russia and Iran are both major oil and gas exporters, they’ve long collaborated on Iran’s disputed nuclear program, and their militaries are both supporting forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad in Syria’s four-year civil war. But on each issue, Iran and Russia are as much competitors as allies, says Suzanne Maloney, an Iran analyst at the Brookings Institution. “They have competing interests when it comes to oil,” Maloney says. And “simply because they both are helping to defend Assad doesn’t mean their goals are identical or that what happens on the ground works to equal benefit for both parties.” Russia seeks to sell refined nuclear fuel and technology to Iran, which seeks to expand parts of its nuclear program as allowed under the recently signed agreement aimed at keeping Iran from developing nuclear weapons. But years of performance issues and on-off progress at Iran’s Russianbuilt Bushehr nuclear plant have prompted Iran to look to Europe for foreign assistance. In the petroleum market, Iran and Russia also have different aims. Iran, whose economy has

been stifled by years of nuclear sanctions, plans to develop its oil and natural gas fields and increase output by 1 million barrels a day, or about 25%, by mid-2016, says energy analyst Sara Vakhshouri of SVB Energy International in Washington. That will put downward pressure on prices that are already at their lowest point in decades, Vakhshouri wrote in a recent study. Russia, which is facing economic sanctions for its intervention in Ukraine, wants energy prices to rise, which would re-

quire a decrease in the global petroleum supply. In Syria, cooperation between the two countries is tainted by different goals and mutual distrust, according to current and former Western diplomats in Washington. “Russia and Iran share the objective of perpetuating Bashar alAssad in power for as long as possible, but they have completely different reasons for wanting that result,” says Fred Hof, who led the Obama administration’s failed effort to seek peace talks

between Syria and Israel before the outbreak of Syria’s civil war. The U.S. goal at the time was to break the link between Iran and the powerful Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon, which Iran supplies through Syria. “The Iranians have come to the conclusion based on 15 years of evidence that Bashar Assad personally is crucial to helping them maintain support for Hezbollah,” said Hof, who is at the Atlantic Council think-tank. Hezbollah maintains an arsenal of tens of thousands of mis-

siles aimed at Israel, giving Iran leverage over the Jewish state. And Syria has allowed Iranian advisers and weapons to pass freely to the Lebanese Shiite militia, which the U.S. designates as a terrorist organization. “The Iranians fear that if Bashar Assad is shuffled off the stage that his regime will collapse, and beside Bashar ... there is not support in Syria for subordinating the country’s interests to Hezbollah,” Hof said. Russia’s interests in Syria are not about Hezbollah. Putin’s goal is to demonstrate that “Russia stands by its friends, and that Russia will defeat what Putin says is this American strategy of democratization in the Middle East and around the world,” Hof said. On the ground in Syria, Russia and Iran support different factions among the forces supporting Assad. Iran supports Hezbollah, Russia works with the Syrian military. “The Russians and Iranians are approaching this from different directions,” Hof said. “But they do agree that Bashar should stay in the saddle. For the Russians, he should stay in at least long enough to throw in against (the Islamic State). For Iran, he should stay in power at least as long as they need Hezbollah to pressure Israel.” Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

NEW ARGENTINE PRESIDENT VOWS TO LESSEN STATE’S ROLE IN ECONOMY Macri promises closer ties to U.S., monetary changes

His victory signals the end of a dozen years of leftist rule, which relied on government intervention in the economy

Greg Toppo USA TODAY

rgentina’s next president decided to pursue a career in politics under the most harrowing of circumstances: 24 years ago, he was kidnapped for nearly two weeks and released only after his family — among the nation’s wealthiest — paid the kidnappers a reported $2.5 million ransom. Mauricio Macri entered politics about a decade later in a failed bid to become mayor of Buenos Aires. Two years later, he won a seat in Congress. In 2007, running again for the mayor’s office, he won a resounding victory with 61% of the vote. The son of a wealthy, Italianborn industrialist — Macri’s father, Francesco “Franco” Macri, emigrated to Argentina from Italy after World War II — Macri had presidential aspirations during the country’s last election in 2011 but decided instead to run for re-election. He won with an even bigger margin, more than 64%. His 12-day abduction in 1991 that he says resulted in his political career also led police to break up a major kidnapping ring, in which most of the suspects had ties either to Argentina’s intelligence service or its federal police, The New York Times reported. Many were senior officials in the police force. A civil engineer who has long mixed politics with soccer — he was for years the president of Boca Juniors, one of Argentina’s best-known clubs — Macri, 56, has promised to get rid of the na-

Special for USA TODAY

Someday Mars could flash its very own ring — a trinket made from bits of a Martian moon being torn apart by Mars itself. Scientists have long known that Phobos, the bigger of Mars’ two petite moonlets, is spiraling dangerously close to its home planet. But Phobos’ ultimate destiny had not been clear. Now researchers report that much of Phobos will be shredded into pieces like a tree in a wood chipper. The remnants will form a ring like Saturn’s, making Mars the only planet in the inner solar system to sport a ring.

Artist’s rendering of Mars with rings. If Phobos shatters all at once, “you’d expect the ring to unfurl … very quickly, over the course of days to weeks,” said study author and planetary scientist Benjamin Black, who will soon join City University of New York. Someone standing on the surface of Mars “might see a bright arc in the sky.” It would be a spectacular end after a violent demise. Tiny Phobos, which is less than 1% the size of Earth’s moon, is being drawn to its doom by the lopsided gravitational pull of Mars. Phobos’ “stretch marks” — long grooves in the surface — attest to the strain on the tiny body. As it draws near Mars, it faces two unappealing outcomes: collision or disintegration. So much about Phobos is a mystery that it’s difficult to predict its future with any certainty, said astrophysicist Zoe Leinhardt of Britain’s University of Bristol.

SOUTH CAROLINA Greenville:

The Indianapolis Star

Detectives have arrested two men in connection with the shooting death of a pastor’s wife attacked in her home earlier this month, authorities said Monday. Larry Taylor, 18, of Indianapolis was arrested overnight on a preliminary charge of murder. He also faces felony burglary, theft, robbery, auto theft and criminal confinement charges along with a misdemeanor charge of carrying a handgun without a license, according to electronic court filings. A second man, Jalen Watson, 21, was taken into custody later Monday and charged with murder, felony burglary, theft, robbery and auto theft, court filings show. he is listed as Taylor’s co-conspirator. The arrests mark the first big break in what police have said was a burglary attempt that resulted in the slaying of Amanda Blackburn, the 28-year-old pregnant mother of a toddler. Davey Blackburn, husband of the slain woman, said police assured him they have a solidly built case. “Though it does not undo the pain we are feeling, I was extremely relieved to get the news of the arrest made last

Pfizer CEO says merger with Ireland’s Allergan ‘not just about tax benefits’ Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

f you want to understand why Pfizer is combining with Allergan, just look at the CEO in charge. Ian Read, 61, a Scottishborn businessman with deep accounting chops, is spearheading the deal that’s all about taking on faster-growing European drug giants and getting tax rates down. Read, currently CEO of Pfizer, will remain at the helm of the company following the recordbreaking combination with Irish rival Allergan that will make it the most valuable drug company in the world. The two firms agreed to a record-busting $160 billion merger Monday — a bold move considering Pfizer already was the world’s fourth most-valuable drug company. The sprawling empire will manufacture drugs that range from wrinkleerasing Botox to pain reliever Advil to cholesterol drug Lipitor. The deal “allows us as Pfizer with Allergan to strengthen our innovative businesses and make it world competitive, while allowing our established products business to also be more successful,” Read said in a prepared online video for investors. Read’s challenge will be to find ways to continue to charge top dollar for the company’s aging pipeline of products. In a testi-

mony to its pricing power, Pfizer drives higher gross profit margins on its products than any other major pharmaceuticals company, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. Pfizer keeps nearly 82 cents of every dollar of revenue after paying direct costs. Merck and Johnson & Johnson, two big Pfizer rivals, keep just 64 and 69 cents on the dollar from revenue. But here’s the rub: Pfizer’s revenue is down 4% over the past 12 months, along with other U.S. pharmaceutical giants. Merck’s revenue is down 8% and Johnson & Johnson is down 5.3%. Meanwhile, many of Pfizer’s big European rivals are growing. Revenue at Germany’s Bayer is up 15% over the past 12 months, and France’s Sanofi is up 11%. Read has been looking to deals as a way to kick-start growth. In mid-2014, Pfizer made a serious run at AstraZeneca, a deal that never got done. As part of that plan, Pfizer planned to reincorporate in the United Kingdom, which showed taxes were a consideration in that deal, too. Taxes are a major concern for Read to tackle. Pfizer is competing with many European drug giants that pay much lower effective tax rates. By structuring the deal in such a way that Allergan technically is buying Pfizer, the company plans to move its headquarters to Ireland, which has lower corporate tax rates than the U.S.

Pfizer has paid an effective tax rate, or the income tax expense divided by earnings before taxes, of 24.5% over the past 12 months. That’s well above the 17.9% effective tax rate at France’s Sanofi and 14.4% effective tax rate at the U.K.’s GlaxoSmithKline.

In a Monday CNBC interview, Read said the deal with Pfizer “is not just about tax benefits.” “This deal is about great franchises,” he said. “There are benefits from tax. If the benefits from tax weren’t there, I would still try to do the deal, but I suspect the price would be different.” Named CEO of Pfizer on Dec. 5, 2010, Read is a Pfizer lifer. He started at the drug company in 1978, which was the same year he earned his Chartered Accountants Certification from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales. Four years prior to that, Read graduated with a chemical engineering degree from London University Imperial College. In addition to being CEO and chairman of Pfizer, Read sits on the board at consumer products company Kimberly-Clark and biotech Thiakis. He’s on the board of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America and the Partnership for New York City, a nonprofit that invests in economic development in the city. Read isn’t a relatively large shareholder in Pfizer, holding 1.5 million shares, or less than 1% of the company’s shares outstanding. But he was paid $23.3 million last fiscal year, which was up 23% from the previous year. Money management firm BlackRock is the largest holder of Pfizer shares, with 395.1 million shares or 6.4% of shares outstanding. If this deal is about competing with European companies on taxes and financial maneuvers, Read has experience in both realms.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer should milk Alibaba, put Wall St. on hold John Shinal

IAN READ SHAKES UP WORLD’S DRUG MARKET Pfizer CEO Ian Read has been looking to deals as a way to kick-start growth.

17,793

17,700

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer should take some of activist investor Starboard Value’s advice. But she would have trouble following all of it, even if she wanted to. Last year, Starboard urged Mayer to spin off the company’s huge stake in Alibaba Group. Last week, it had a change of heart. With Yahoo facing the possibility of a huge tax bill on the potential transaction, Starboard Value is now urging Yahoo to sell off other properties instead. Mayer should stick with the spinoff plan, despite Starboard’s inconsistencies. There’s a big problem with the second part, however. The stock market doesn’t think Yahoo’s other properties are worth very much, if anything. As of the close of trading Monday, Yahoo shares were trading at THE NEW TECH ECONOMY

SAN FRANCISCO

$33.36, giving the company a market valuation of $31.5 billion. Alibaba, meanwhile, closed at $81.31 and was valued at $200.10 billion. That makes Yahoo’s stake in the Chinese Internet giant worth approximately $31.2 billion before taxes. This means the market is valuing all the rest of Yahoo at $320 million — less than its $1.3 billion in cash. Moreover, a sizable chunk of its non-cash value, if not all of it, consists of stakes in Yahoo Japan and Yahoo’s other equity interests. The company valued those at $2.2 billion as of Sept. 30. Yahoo has not commented on the recent Starboard letter. With the market now valuing Yahoo-minus-Alibaba at less than the value of its other equity interests, what is there to sell to move the stock higher? The answer, technology investors are saying, is “nothing.” A look at Yahoo’s strategic position shows why. Yahoo is a distant third in the search advertising market behind the much-larger Google and Microsoft. Its search advertising revenue came in below expectations in the third quarter, as Yahoo search ad pricing fell 2%.

DAVID PAUL MORRIS, BLOOMBERG

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer’s turnaround plan for the company has yet to gain much financial traction.

Meanwhile, in the market for mobile advertising, Yahoo isn’t No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3. Those spots belong to Google, Facebook and Twitter, respectively, which is why the stock market doesn’t make much of Yahoo’s position. Likewise for all of Yahoo’s high-profile investments in media content, whose incremental revenue contribution may be shortlived. Yahoo sales are seen rising 11% this year to $4.9 billion, then falling 2% in 2016, according to

analysts polled by Thomson Financial. The call from Wall Street to spin things off in Silicon Valley has been loud this year — and effective in prompting action. EBay spun off PayPal in July, and Hewlett-Packard spun off HP Enterprise earlier this month. Essentially all of the value of that entity will consist of shares of Alibaba, not any business operations. In Yahoo’s most recent quarter, large gains from its equity interests were what kept the company in the black. Without them to offset consistent operating losses, Yahoo’s bottom line would be deep in the red. But with them, it earned net income of $76 million, or 8 cents a share. So why not milk that cash cow by selling portions of the Alibaba stake every quarter, instead of taking a 40% tax hit that would be borne by Yahoo shareholders? While Mayer’s turnaround plan has yet to gain much financial traction, the market is essentially saying that there’s very little or no downside in continuing. So unless the deal can be structured in a more-tax-efficient way, Mayer should once again heed Starboard’s advice and cancel it.

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

It’s Thanksgiving week, but that doesn’t mean Wall Street won’t get served with some key economic data that could shed further light on the health of the U.S. economy as well as the Federal Reserve’s plans for an interest-rate hike in December. First up is the second read on third-quarter gross domestic product, better known as GDP, on Tuesday. Economists now see economic growth in the July-through-September quarter rising at a 2.1% pace, better than the 1.5% seen in late October, according to consensus expectations tracked by Bespoke Investment Group. Year-over-year home prices in September tracked by S&P/Case

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

Shiller are forecast to inch up to 5.2%, a slight rise over August’s 5.1% price increase. Consumer confidence tracked by the business group The Conference Board also is expected to improve. Economists see November confidence rising to 99.5, up from 97.6 in October. The Fed has said it is considering hiking rates for the first time since 2006 at its final meeting of the year in mid-December. If economic growth keeps ticking higher, home prices continue to head north, albeit at a slower pace, and consumers continue to flash a confident streak, the odds of a Fed hike will climb as well. While the Fed has said the primary things it is watching are jobs and inflation when it comes to timing its rate lift-off, continued signs of economic health won’t go unnoticed.

Drugmaker has bright future, analysts say Q: Is Pfizer a better investment now? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Pfizer’s complicated plan to be bought by rival Allergan is partially a way to save on U.S. taxes. Whether that’s good for America is up for debate. But it’s possibly a good move for investors. Monday, drugmaker Pfizer said it was combining with Ireland-based Botox maker Allergan in a $160 billion deal. The company says the deal, structured as a purchase of Pfizer by Allergan, would boost its product pipeline in addition to creating tax benefits. The tax portion of the deal is controversial. U.S. policymakers are working to block corporate mergers in which U.S. companies set themselves up to be bought by companies in countries with lower tax rates. But those rules are unlikely to stop this deal. The resulting deal with Pfizer is a potential boon for investors in the company, which becomes the most valuable drug company in the world. Pfizer’s effective tax rate of 24.5% is higher than some of its rivals in Europe. Analysts remain bullish on Pfizer following the deal. Analysts on average rate the stock an “outperform” and think it could be worth $40.06 a share in 18 months. If that’s correct, it would be 28% potential upside. The deal could also give Pfizer a much-needed growth jolt.

For these 12 retailers, happy holidays mean a happy Q4 Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

The holidays are important to most retailers, but some absolutely depend on a solid fourth quarter.

nies’ revenue in the fourth quarter to be 33% or more of their revenue over the previous 12 months. Each of these companies also got 29% or more of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2014. The holidays are big for retailers, but not as critical as many investors might assume. Analysts expect the 98 retailers in the S&P 1500 to haul in $538.7 billion in revenue in the fourth quarter. That’s 27.6% of the total revenue the companies reported over the previous four quarters. That means the fourth quarter is a little more important than the other three quarters to retail at large.

But for GameStop, the fourth quarter is pivotal. Analysts expect the company, which sells both video game consoles and game software, to report revenue of $3.6 billion during the fourth quarter. That means revenue in the fourth quarter will be 39% of what the company brought in during the previous four quarters. The video-game industry typically unleashes its top sellers this time of the year, and this year is no different. Microsoft’s Halo 5: Guardians hit shelves during the quarter as did Activision Blizzard’s latest Call of Duty: Black Ops III. Shares of GameStop are

up more than 9% this year as investors anticipate strong game sales. A strong fourth quarter is even more important given that the company on Monday missed third-quarter adjusted profit forecasts by nearly 9%. Shares of GameStop dropped $1.79, or 4.5%, to $37.61 Monday. Intimate apparel seems to get a boost in the fourth quarter due to gift giving, as analysts expect Victoria’s Secret operator L Brands to report revenue of $4.3 billion in the fourth quarter. That would be 34.4% of what the company reported in total revenue over the past 12 months.

The Italian Stallion gears up for last hurrah — and it packs punch Andrea Mandell @AndreaMandell USA TODAY

BEVERLY HILLS

ocky Balboa was busy riding off into the sunset. And then Creed showed up. It took director Ryan Coogler years to persuade Sylvester Stallone to bring the Italian Stallion out of retirement for Creed (in theaters Wednesday), a Rocky spinoff focused on a young fighter, Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan), Apollo Creed’s illegitimate son, who is on his own gritty quest for glory. To say Stallone was skeptical is an understatement. “This movie is such a big experiment for me,” says Stallone, 69, who wonders, “Will the kind of sentimentality, that underdog aspect of Rocky I, be valid today in the form of Creed’s son?” Coogler is betting on it. He last directed Jordan in the lauded indie Fruitvale Station, and he concocted Creed’s story based on his relationship with his ailing father, a Rocky fanatic. “I have a relationship with the Rocky movies that’s probably similar to a lot of people’s,” says Coogler, who was born after Rocky IV came out. Then his father got sick with a neuromuscular disease. “His skeletal muscles were atrophying, so he literally was becoming weaker,” Coogler says. “He was losing the things that he associated with his masculinity and independence.” A new take on Rocky’s postfighting years emerged in the director’s mind. “That was when I came up with this story of this hero kind of dealing with his own mortality,” he says. Problem was, Stallone had put the franchise he created, wrote and mostly directed to bed in 2006 with Rocky Balboa. The sixth film had been a victory lap, a solid sendoff after a disappointing return on 1990’s Rocky V. “It was very nerve-racking in the beginning; that’s why it took a little while to commit to it,” Stallone says. “I knew Michael’s sincerity, Ryan’s sincerity, but no one starts out (and) sits around a table with a screenplay and the director goes, ‘I’ve got a great idea — let’s make a real bomb!’ ” Creed, Coogler’s second feature, begins its story in Los Angeles, introducing Adonis, who

So Adonis sets off for Philadelphia seeking out the one man who has access to his legacy. “He’s going through pretty much what Rocky went through in a different way,” Stallone says. “Rocky had given up on life. (Adonis) hasn’t given up on life. He’s on a voyage. He’s seeking.

Rocky didn’t seek anything. Things came to him as a joke. But in the end, he’s looking for validation, and Rocky was, too.” Creed is finding a Thanksgiving feast of validation from critics. “With apologies to Clubber Lang and Ivan Drago, Ryan Coogler’s rousingly emotional new film is the best installment since the 1976 original,” raves Entertainment Weekly. Variety heralds Stallone for “digging deeper as an

actor than he has in years.” The Chicago Tribune begrudgingly acknowledges: “Turns out we really did need another Rocky movie.” But taking over a bedrock franchise is no small feat. It helped, Jordan says, that Stallone and Coogler kept reminding him Creed isn’t Rocky VII. “Sly (and) Ryan took the pressure off of me,” says Jordan, 28, who piled on muscle to convincingly play a fighter whose name spurs heavyweight champion “Pretty” Ricky Conlan (played by three-time former Amateur Boxing Association of England heavyweight champion Tony Bellew) to dangle a big-ticket fight. “That was the biggest relief ever. Like, I got the guy who created the character (in my corner).” And as for Stallone’s transition to the coach standing outside the ring, no longer the focal point of the cameras, a bystander of his own making? Stallone cocks an eyebrow. “Should I say it was liberating and slightly horrible?”

Name a hit TV comedy from the past four decades, and there’s a good chance director James Burrows was standing behind the camera. Burrows, master of the multicamera sitcom taped in front of a studio audience, has directed a hall of fame’s worth of comedies, from The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi and Cheers to Frasier, Friends and Will & Grace. He has long been Hollywood’s go-to guy for sitcom pilots, giving initial shape to many eventual hits, including 3rd Rock From the Sun, Dharma & Greg, Night Court, Roc, Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory. Tuesday, when Burrows directs NBC’s midseason comedy Crowded, he will reach his 1,000th episode (including a few that were never broadcast). “It’s always the writing,” he

Cheers was not a high-concept show, a bar in Boston. It was the execution.” Executive producer Sean Hayes, a Will & Grace star, praises Burrows for having “all cylinders working in glorious unison at all times. At any given moment, he’s completely focused on the cam-

eras, the actors, the story, the jokes, the writers, the crew and his next tee time.” In a medium where the writer typically rules, Burrows’ clout is apparent from a contractual “fun clause” that allows him to leave a show if he’s not having any. He exercised it once, but won’t say for which show. (He has actually been fired a couple of times, once

“for not shooting a close-up of a capon” and another time “because a writer was scared of me.”) Burrows isn’t worried about perpetual talk of the demise of the multi-camera comedy. He has a smaller canvas as networks squeeze in more commercials: Cheers episodes typically ran 26 minutes; now, most sitcoms are less than 21. “It’s not as popular as it used to be, but I’ve been around for comedy being dead four or five times,” he says. “It will turn around. The networks are doing single-camera comedies, very precious shows. Still, the No. 1 comedy on the air is The Big Bang Theory. (Producer Chuck Lorre) is keeping the form alive.” Burrows, 74, is having fun as a director and executive producer of Crowded, which stars Stacy Keach, a classmate from Yale Drama School (Burrows’ motivation to attend: “It was the Vietnam War and I didn’t want to go to Vietnam”) and is written by fellow Frasier alum Suzanne Martin. “I did nine out of 13 episodes,” he says. “I’m trying to cut back a little.”

Apps CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Lead author Dr. Laura Svetkey said she and her colleagues were both surprised and disappointed at the results. “Given the seeming power of cellphone apps and frankly the popularity of these health and fitness apps in the commercial world, we thought this might be a really good strategy to provide effective intervention very broadly and potentially at low cost,” said Svetkey, a professor of medicine at Duke University School of Medicine. Yet, Svetkey says, it’s difficult to get the same level of intensity in an

13 percent, according to Kaiser. Even if many beneficiaries switch to lowercost options, it’s likely to be the biggest increase since 2009. l The maximum deductible for prescription coverage will rise by $40, to $360. That’s the biggest increase since the inception of Part D in 2006. The deductible is the amount of drug costs beneficiaries must pay each year before insurance kicks in.

comes a corresponding responsibility. We have a right to bear arms, but we are also responsible to practice gun safety. We have a right to religious practice, as long as we do not infringe on the beliefs of others. We also have a right to free speech as long as we do not violate others’ rights as they exercise their free speech. Campus protests offer a perfect case study of free speech. While their demonstrations are usually OK, a minority have taken to violating the free speech rights of others by calling for the termination of those who challenge their group’s goals. Others deny press access for journalists who are neutral to their movement. For these individuals, it’s OK to stifle the free speech of those with whom they disagree. The rise of “safe spaces” plays a large role in this movement. Safe spaces are great for people who’ve experienced adversity — it gives them a room where they can go to escape it. The problem occurs when the boundaries of that space expand to include a whole university or community.

app that you might get through personal coaching, and people have the tendency to stop using weight-loss apps after a while. “We know that in general, the more engaged people are in intervention, the more they’re going to succeed from it,” Svetkey said. “And so perhaps we need to rethink how to make a weight-loss intervention on your cellphone more engaging.” The stakes in helping young adults lose weight are high. Weight gain during the young adult years is associated with a variety of health issues later in life, including metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease, Svetkey said. It’s not clear if these

results would apply to apps that are commercially available. Svetkey says she is only familiar with one clinical study that looked at a popular commercial weightloss app, which was also found to be ineffective at promoting weight loss. Yet that’s not to say these apps won’t work for certain people in certain circumstances, she says. Weight Watchers, which uses a combination of apps and coaching in a group setting, and MyFitnessPal, a very popular food and exercise tracking app, didn’t respond to requests for comment by publication time. These study results aren’t reason to give up hope about the potential for weight-loss apps,

Svetkey adds, but are instead reason to intensify research efforts in this area. More work is needed to understand how to harness these technologies and leverage their strengths in a way that will lead people to change their eating and exercise behaviors, she says. But is there any real harm in using one of these apps, even if they aren’t proven effective in research studies? Svetkey suggests that it could be a matter of wasted effort. “We have a very serious epidemic,” Svetkey said, “and if we’re spinning our wheels on things that don’t work, then that’s energy not being put towards finding and disseminating things that do work.”

l Taxpayer expenditures for the “catastrophic” portion of the benefit — in which beneficiaries with high drug bills pay only 5 percent of the cost — will rise by $4.5 billion in 2016, an increase of more than 14 percent. Spending for catastrophic coverage has doubled in just a short time, from $15.5 billion in 2012 to an estimated $31.2 billion this year. The analyses from Kaiser and Avalere are at odds with the message coming from the Obama administration, which estimates that drug premiums will remain stable in 2016, averaging $32.50 a month.

But the administration and independent analysts measure differently. For example, the administration adjusts its number for estimated impact of people assumed to be switching to lower-premium plans. The outside analysts don’t make similar assumptions. Instead, they focus on what’s happening to premiums in the plans for which people are currently signed up. Nationally, average premiums are going up by more than 15 percent in five of the top eight plans, according to the Kaiser study. Two plans will see single-digit increases.

One plan — SilverScript Choice — will see a small reduction. The most popular plan — AARP MedicareRx Preferred — will go up from $50.19 to $60.79, a 21 percent increase. Consumer advocates are skeptical that seniors shopping for better deals will be sufficient to blunt the cost increases. Finding a new plan can be overwhelming, said Bonnie Burns, a longtime Medicare counselor with nonprofit California Health Advocates. “People can’t deal with the complexity of deductibles, coverage tiers and prior approval,” she said.

College campuses are places of learning where we challenge ourselves. Though we may think that comes from tests and academia, it really comes through exposure to opposing viewpoints. As a body builder trains, the only way he gets stronger is when he is put under stress. So it is with our opinions. By avoiding the holes in our arguments, or listening only to ourselves as if we were in an echo chamber, our intellect can become flimsy, unable to “work” in the real

world. Conversely, if we see dissenting evidence, we may change our opinion. In this way, free speech and open discussion help us work our way toward truth. Since I am using my right of free speech right now, I would ask that if you disagree with me, let me know. That discussion can only improve both of us, whereas stifling your voice or mine will hurt us both. Practice your First Amendment right, but let everyone else practice theirs, too.

Whether you write out questions and pass them around or simply talk informally, here are some issues that should be addressed: l Do you have any chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes? l Have you had any other serious illnesses such as cancer or stroke? How old were you when you developed these problems? l What medications are you currently taking? Your family medical history is not your destiny, but it can give you some important information that could help you plan preventive action. Talking with your health care provider about your family health history can help you stay healthy. “My Family Health Portrait” can be found online at familyhistory.hhs.gov. — Janice Early is vice president of marketing and communications for Lawrence Memorial Hospital, which is a major sponsor of WellCommons.

‘Dancing’ and other TV treats If it’s the night before the night before Thanksgiving, “Dancing With the Stars” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) must be wrapping up a fall season and announcing a new winner. The mere proximity to Thanksgiving means its time for Christmas movies and specials and even Christmas-themed episodes. ABC Family includes a special episode of “Young And Hungry” (8 p.m., TV-14) as part of its “Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas.” Sofia (Aimee Carrero) has mixed feelings when a department store clerk, a hired temp for the holidays, makes a big mistake in her favor. Three whole days before Black Friday, and already the shopping and consumer guilt are beginning to pile up. Jackee Harry (“Sister, Sister”) and Mindy Sterling (“Austin Powers”) guest-star. For those paying attention, this will be ABC Family’s very last “25 Days of Christmas” marathon. Not because Christmas is going anywhere, but because, beginning in 2016, ABC Family will become the “Freeform” network. The network has begun to brand its audience with the term, “Becomers,” folks young enough to still be defining themselves. As one network marketing person described them, young viewers between “their first kiss and their first child.” The term “Becomers” appeals to advertisers, who hope watchers can “become” steady consumers of Tide, Chevrolets, Sprint, etc. Unlike, say, “Family,” ‘‘Freeform” is one of those words that can mean a lot or nothing. This is not the first time the term Freeform was used to describe a media direction. Back in the mid-to-late 1960s, when FM was supplanting AM as the radio format for popular music, “Freeform” radio gave disc jockeys the freedom to depart from the Top-40 format and create a personal, even idiosyncratic broadcast persona. Listeners vintage enough to remember all that are likely to be the parents, or grandparents, of the “Becomers” targeted by the new “Freeform.”

Tonight’s other highlights

Live eliminations unfold on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC, TVPG).

Jimmy’s best-laid plans for a Malibu holiday go awry on “Grandfathered” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

Jason Alexander (“Seinfeld”) and Timothy Olyphant (“Justified”) guest-star on “The Grinder” (7:30 p.m., Fox, TV14).

New evidence drags Pride back to a pre-Katrina case on “NCIS: New Orleans” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

Doctors disagree about a difficult post-natal case on “Chicago Med” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

He has always been a good provider. He worked while I stayed at home and raised our five children. Back then, I would never have expected him to come home and help around the house. But things are different now. It’s just the two of us. We are in our mid-70s, and I am still doing all of the work inside this five-bedroom house. He refuses to help.

Lahaina, Hawaii — There isn’t a person on the planet who thought Maui Invitational host school Chaminade was going to beat fifth-ranked Kansas University on Monday night in the tournament opener for both teams. But it might not have been that difficult to find a few people who thought the Silverswords could stay within the 29-point spread set by Las Vegas oddsmakers. And who could blame them? Kansas came into the game on the heels of last week’s Champions Classic collapse against Michigan State that featured 20 missed layups and more than a little frustration. After a long trip and all of the distractions that

paradise has to offer, a sluggish and sloppy victory might not have surprised anybody, especially when you consider that Chaminade has been known to get hot from three-point range and ride the triple to some serious point totals. On Monday, it was Kansas that put up the serious point total, storming to a 123-72 victory. Please see TAIT, page 5D

Beaty: Showdown finale huge for Jayhawks By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

As Kansas University football coach David Beaty alluded to on more than one occasion Monday morning during his turn on the Big 12’s weekly media conference call, all the Jayhawks have left in front of them is a “one-game season.” Although Saturday’s Sun-

flower Showdown against rival Kansas State will only register either a single victory or a 12th loss for KU in Beaty’s first season leading the program, the Jayhawks’ regular-season finale at Memorial Stadium (3 p.m. kickoff, FOX Sports 1) has other ramifications. Since arriving in Lawrence nearly a year ago, Beaty has emphasized the

importance of his regime making a bigger impact in high school recruiting within the state of Kansas. Finding some way to defeat K-State (4-6 overall, 1-6 Big 12) would mark another significant step in attaining that goal. “I mean, for us, this is such a pivotal game for our state,” Beaty said, “trying to make sure that we’re com-

peting for the top recruits in the state, and there’s nothing like winning that game. That says a bunch. So obviously that is a huge deal for both teams involved.” Losing 11 straight games doesn’t make for an enjoyable process, as Beaty and his staff try to rebuild the Kansas football brand and catch up with the likes of Bill Snyder and Kansas State.

But Beaty said his Jayhawks haven’t lost faith in what they’re doing as a result, and that makes the coach prouder than anything else. “They’re all-in. You know, we’re not proud of the performance last week, obviously.,” Beaty said of a 49-0 home loss against West Virginia. “That was not indicative of the

Kentucky back on top of Top 25 SOUTH

The Associated Press

Kentucky, its star-filled roster decimated by the NBA draft, didn’t wait long to get back to the top of the Associated Press poll. The Wildcats, who again have a lineup full of freshmen who were high school AllAmericans, went from second to No. 1 on Monday. The move was made possible by their convincing win over then-No. 5 Duke in the Champions Classic and North Carolina’s loss to Northern Iowa that ended the

BRIEFLY

Miles could be through at LSU Baton Rouge, La. — LSU football coach Les Miles considers talk about his job security “off limits” right now, and he has no interest in retiring. Miles also said Monday that Louisiana has become “home” to him and his family as he nears the end of his 11th season with the Tigers. But LSU is on a skid like no other under Miles, raising questions about his future. The Tigers have lost three straight for the first time since he arrived in 2005. Those losses have dropped LSU, which entered November unbeaten and firmly in contention for the College Football Playoff, to 7-3 and out of the Top 25. “I think the question’s valid,” Miles said of questions about his job. “At some point in time there’s a me in this. Not while I’m coaching. This will always be about our players.” Miles did not say whether he’s met with top LSU athletic department officials about his future, saying the only instruction he has received is to continue doing his job as he normally would. “Someone’s asked me about coaching for my job, and I think I’ve done that for 11 years,” Miles said.

Their title at the EAST Puerto Rico Tip-Off AL included wins over Utah and Butler and made them the only school this season to beat more than one AL CENTRAL ranked opponent. Miami became the 17th team since the poll expanded to 25 in 1989-90 to jump in from unranked to No. 15 or better. The WEST last school to do it wasALVillanova, which jumped in at No. 14 early in the 2012-13 season.

The Tar Heels had tied Kentucky on the all-time list with this season’s two weeks at No. 1. Those are the only four schools to have been ranked No. 1 for at least 100 weeks.

Patriots remain perfect

and then he beat the Bills — again. After shouting the name of the Buffalo coach as an audible, Brady led New England to a 2013 victory over the Bills on Monday night and kept the defending Super Bowl champions on course for their second perfect regular season in nine years. Brady completed 20 of 39 passes for 277 yards, hitting James White for a 20-yard score that was the first touchdown of the running back’s career. White added a six-yard run in the third quarter to give New England (10-0) the lead for good. Buffalo’s LeSean McCoy ran 20 times for 82 yards and a 27yard touchdown and caught six passes for 41 yards to surpass 100 yards from scrimmage for the fourth straight game. The Bills (5-5) snapped a two-game winning streak and lost to Brady for the 25th time in 28 games. The game was filled with mistakes, penalties, injuries and turnovers — including two fumbles on a single punt, a rare missed field goal by Stephen Gostkowski and an inadvertent whistle that led to one of many lengthy conferences among the officials.

NEW ENGLAND WIDE RECEIVER DANNY AMENDOLA (80) IS TACKLED by Buffalo safety Leodis McKelvin during the Patriots’ 20-13 win Monday in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Early in the third, Brady rolled toward the right sideline before throwing downfield to Amendola. As the receiver broke for the end zone, the play was whistled dead — apparently because the official thought Brady stepped out of bounds. After a lengthy discussion, the referee announced that there was an inadvertent whistle. The 14-yard reception counted, with a 15-yard penalty for interference from the Bills coaching staff. The drive ended with an even more unusual error: Gostkowski’s first miss in 51 weeks. Brady threw a first-half interception that was nullified by offsetting penalties. But he did throw one at the Buffalo goal line in the fourth that stuck. Brady took a dig at Ryan in the first quarter by adding “Rex Ryan!” to his pre-snap signals. The Bills coach has been a longtime rival of the Patriots. But the Patriots managed just a field goal in the first, then went scoreless for 22 minutes, 16 seconds before Brady led a 33-second touchdown drive to make it 10-3 with 13 seconds left in the half.

MISSED FIELD GOALS-Buffalo, Carpenter 48 (WR). New England, Gostkowski 54 (WR).

Brady threw an out pass to White, who broke a tackle along the sideline to score from 20 yards out. That prolonged New England’s scoring streak, but it came to an end at 38 in a row when they failed to score in the fourth. And another streak was snapped, too. Gostkowski hadn’t missed a kick all season, a total of 22 field goals and 35 extra points before his attempt from 54 yards out in the third quarter sailed wide right. It was his first miss since Nov. 30, 2014, and his first miss at home since Week 2 of the 2013 season.

Notes Brady improved to 11-4 in his career against teams coached by Ryan. ... McCoy is the first Buffalo player to rush for more than 100 yards in four consecutive games since C.J. Spiller in 2012. ... Patriots injuries: Amendola (knee) and WR Aaron Dobson (ankle). Bills injuries: WR Marcus Easley (head), OL John Miller (ankle), S Bacarri Rambo (shoulder), DL Mario Williams (foot), TE Charles Clay (neck). ... Gostkowski extended his streak of consecutive extra points to 447.

HASKELL WOMEN’S BASKETBALL COACH SHANE FLANAGAN DRAWS UP A PLAY during a timeout in their game against Tabor on Nov. 10 at Coffin Complex. HINU, off to an 8-1 start, will host Baker tonight.

Haskell, Baker women surge into showdown By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Two rising area NAIA women’s basketball programs will clash at 5:30 tonight, when Haskell Indian Nations University (8-1) hosts Baker University (5-1) in Coffin Complex. Fresh off a 20-win season in the final year of the Midlands Collegiate Athletics Conference, Haskell has adjusted well to being one of 16 independents in NAIA Division II. HINU’s eight wins have come by an average of 17.1 points per game, and three of those victories have come against top-15 teams: No. 9 Tabor (80-52), No. 13 Oklahoma Wesleyan (74-72) and No. 15 College of St. Mary (Neb.) (69-65). “This is probably my most athletic team that I’ve ever had,” fifth-year coach Shane Flanagan said. “Last year’s success kind of gave our kids some confidence, so we’ve really kind of picked up where we finished last year.” Senior point guard Arnetia Begay and a core group of six juniors have helped Flanagan turn the HINU program around after back-to-back 10-win seasons in 2011-12 and 2012-13. HINU did not receive any votes in the NAIA Div. II Coaches’ Top 25 Preseason Poll, but that just served as motivation for Begay and her teammates. “We just take it one game at a time and try not to think about the rankings before the game,” Begay said. “It’s just another team. We’re going to go out there and do what we do.” Two of HINU’s top scorers did not play Friday and Saturday against Johnson & Wales and

Northern New Mexico in the J&W Classic in Denver. Junior center Keli Warrior and sophomore forward Tyler Sumpter were both sidelined. Sumpter sat out because of strep throat, and Warrior was unavailable after suffering a left Achilles injury in a car accident a few hours before HINU’s Nov. 17 game against Park. Flanagan said Sumpter should be ready to go tonight against Baker, but that Warrior was still about a week away. “There is nothing ruptured, nothing is really torn,” said Warrior, who is trying to work her way out of a walking boot. “It’s just a really, really bad bruise.” Sumpter has served as a versatile offensive threat since transferring in from Bismarck State — scoring 14 points per game and shooting 19for-46 (41.3 percent) from behind the arc — and Warrior has been HINU’s go-to option down low. Warrior’s presence inside could be sorely missed tonight against Baker, as the Wildcats’ have a veteran center of their own in 6-foot-3 senior Macy Wallisch. Wallisch, a two-time Heart of America Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year, has helped No. 23 Baker to two consecutive NAIA Div. I tournament appearances. The BU center has swatted 19 shots in six games and ranks fourth in the nation in blocks. “I feel like a lot of times it honestly gets our team going because it brings a lot of energy,” Wallisch said of the feeling she gets when rejecting a shot. “It’s always exciting to get a block, plus that’s just one less shot that they don’t make.” The Wildcats have

TUESDAY Prime Time WOW DTV DISH 7 PM

played lock-down defense on the perimeter as well, led by senior Jami Hodge. Hodge has been a handful for opposing guards, as she ranks 11th in the country with 20 steals. “(Head coach Ben) Lister usually makes me guard one of the primary scorers, so I just do my job, get in the passing lanes and hopefully come up with a few steals every game,” Hodge, who also is second on the team with 12.8 points per game, said. A defense-first mentality has been something that Lister has stressed to the Wildcats, and they have responded by limiting teams to 52.3 points per game. “I think they’ve started to realize that if they play at both ends, that they will have a much higher success rate,” the fifth-year BU coach said. “We’ve just got kids that believe in shutting other teams down.”

HINU/Baker men meet tonight, too Following the women’s matchup, the Haskell and Baker men will tip off at 7:30. Haskell (2-5) has won two of its last three after dropping four in a row to begin the season. HINU has steadily improved in its new motion offense since Matthew “Cougar” Downing Jr. took over as coach on Nov. 3. Baker (2-3) will look to snap a three-game losing streak after winning its first two contests of the year. Junior guard Javeion Gray has averaged 14.0 points per game to lead the Wildcats and has scored in double figures in four straight. BU has edged HINU in three of the past four seasons.

Tucson, Ariz. — Kansas University’s women’s basketball team came up short in its first road test of the season. The Jayhawks shot just 32 percent from the field and received just 11 points from the bench in a 67-52 loss to Arizona on Monday at McKale Center. The game was played in front of 6,652 fans — most in Arizona program history — on hand for “School Day.” “I felt like the environment really bothered us early,” KU coach Brandon Schneider said. “We knew it was going to be loud. We knew they would have 6,000 plus with the promotion going on today. We practiced with music and crowd noise the last couple days. I felt like we had some guys who tried to shoot their way — and that’s just not aggressive. We have to dive on the floor for loose balls. We have to box out, get in a stance and play hard defensively. That’s how you get into ball games. Hopefully our young players will learn from this.” Sophomore guard Lauren Aldridge led KU with 14 points. She also had a team-high four assists.

Swords pick poison; KU makes ’em pay By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS GUARD SVIATOSLAV MYKHAILIUK (10) LOOKS TO SWING A PASS over to Kansas guard Frank Mason III.

Lahaina, Hawaii — It’s not that Chaminade coach Eric Bovaird was in the gambling mood, more that he knew packing the paint and daring Kansas University to shoot was his team’s only shot. It didn’t work. Instead of rushing open three-point looks, misfiring left and right and letting frustrations mount because of it, the Jayhawks (2-1) caught fire from the outside and rolled to a 123-72 victory over the host school in the opening round of this year’s Maui Invitational at Lahaina Civic Center. “Our whole goal was to try to help our inside guys as much as possible,” Bovaird said. “We knew they were going to try to high-low us to death, and you just kind of hope that they don’t knock down

outside shots. (But) they did.” Five Jayhawks made three-pointers in producing the sixth-highest point total in school history and the most in the Bill Self era, with Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Wayne Selden Jr. and Devonté Graham making at least three each. By exploiting the Chaminade zone that limited senior forward Perry Ellis to just 11 points on eight shots, Kansas beat the Silverswords (0-3) at their own game, out-shooting the host school 15 to 8 from behind the threepoint line. “You’ve got to pick your poison when you’re playing a team like Kansas,” Bovaird said. “They’re good at every position, don’t get me wrong. But it’s a heck of a lot easier to make a lay-up than it is to make a three-

point shot. So our goal was to try to take away scoring from two, three feet from the basket and hope that they get cold outside and start panicking a little bit.” It never happened, and the Jayhawks rolled the largest blowout in Maui Invitational history. Although Chaminade has scored a handful of memorable upsets during the 32-year history of the Maui Invitational, the Silverswords also have taken their fair share of beatings. Monday’s was merely another one, and Bovaird was ready to move on just seconds after the final horn sounded. “Yeah, we’ll just forget about that game, and let’s tip it up and play another one,” he said, laughing. “They were what we expected. They were big, strong, and they come at you in waves.”

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

certainly allowed KU’s large contingent of fans to relax against occasional giant-killing Div. II Chaminade. Sophomore guard Svi Mykhailiuk hit a careerbest six threes in 11 tries and scored a career-high 18 points for a squad that had seven players score in double figures. The 51-point margin of victory tied for fifth-biggest rout in the Self era. And it was the biggest rout in the history of the Maui Invite. “Svi was good. We need Svi to be aggressive, especially over here,” Self said. KU’s perimeter depth has been hurt by Brannen Greene’s sixgame suspension. “We need (Mykhailiuk) to be one of our key players and go-to guys. He was tonight,” Self added. Of junior guard Wayne Selden Jr., who hit four threes, scored 18 points and had seven assists, Self said: “Wayne is a huge key to our team. Wayne did some nice things. He had a couple bad basketball plays. I thought he played well. He made a couple shots, which was nice to see.”

PLAYERS ON THE KANSAS BENCH GO WILD after another bucket by KU guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk during the second half. Guards Devonté Graham (15 points, three assists) and Frank Mason III (14 points, seven assists, six rebounds) joined the point parade. Also, on the inside, Landen Lucas tied a career high with 13 points off 4-of-4 shooting and 5-of6 free throwing; Hunter Mickelson contributed 11 off 5-of-5 shooting; Carlton Bragg tallied nine off 4-for-5 shooting; and Perry Ellis added 11 off 4-of-8 marksmanship. “Our bigs, even though they (Silverswords) were small, at least we scored inside,” Self said. “We

didn’t miss layups like we’d been.” It didn’t take long for the Jayhawks to squash Chaminade’s dream of knocking off a top-five basketball team. The No. 5-ranked Jayhawks, who led by just two points eight minutes into the game, doubled up the Silverswords 36-18 at the 7:30 mark and led by 30 with 12 minutes left. It was a 12-0 run that turned a 24-18 lead into and 18-point advantage. Graham scored five points, Mykhailiuk three, Ellis and Lucas two apiece in the surge.

“Obviously, we made shots. Everything looks better when you make shots,” Self said. KU hit 64.4 percent to Chaminade’s 34.8 percent. “Chaminade is the type team, if they get comfortable and score well early, which they did against us, gives them confidence, and they can hang around. Our offense was good enough to keep them at arms’ difference. We started guarding them better as the game wore on.” KU had several highlight-reel plays, including one wacky missed break-

away dunk by Selden, who had the ball rocked into the rafters and hit a flag at the top of the arena. Later, Selden had a vicious slam off a lob from Graham. Also, Mickelson blocked a shot, dove for the loose ball and nearly had a steal, losing the ball after he hit the floor, the effort pleasing KU’s fans in attendance. Mickelson played two minutes the first half, 10 the second. “We were switching on ball screens. He can’t guard those (smaller) guys out there,” Self said. “That was the reason he didn’t play a lot early.” The star of the game offensively had to be sophomore Mykhailiuk, whose previous scoring high was 11, which he’d hit three times. “My teammates, Frank and Devonté, were driving the ball well. I was getting open looks and making shots. If it’s an open look, it’s a pretty easy shot. I just need to make it,” Mykhailiuk said. “We knew they had a good team. They shot a lot of threes (33, hitting eight) and drove well. We tried to play defense. It was not good in the first half. We need to get better at that.” KU will play winner of the late game between UCLA and UNLV at 9 tonight.

Lahaina, Hawaii — It appears there was some progress regarding Cheick Diallo’s eligibility case Monday. “The only thing I know is our athletic director was contacted (by NCAA) today that they are working on it,” KU coach Bill Self said after the Jayhawks’ 123-72 firstround Maui Invitational win over Chaminade in Lahaina Civic Center. “That’s all I know concerning that situation.” That could be considered a positive sign considering the Jayhawk athletic department hadn’t heard from the NCAA since sending the organization 19 points of concern about the case on Nov. 10. Asked to elaborate on his disappointment level regarding the delay in a ruling for the freshman forward from Mali, Africa, Self detailed his frustration but stopped short of simply blaming the powers-that-be at the NCAA. “I don’t know exactly how policy works or who oversees what. It is disappointing that no one has

More impressive than KU’s offensive output was the fact that Monday’s win proved to be exactly the kind of response you would expect from a veteran team with championship aspirations. “I think so,” junior Landen Lucas said when asked if the run-away victory was just what the doctor ordered. “Defensively, we have a lot to work on, but it was nice to get some guys (their) confidence back. I think a couple guys on our team could definitely use that game.” The Jayhawks (2-1) probably could have knocked off Chaminade comfortably by playing only their second five. But that did not stop the starters from playing with the kind of hunger and intensity that said more than, “We’re here to score.” Seven Jayhawks

Everybody that works in an organization that big hires people and has policies in place under them that people are supposed to work toward and fill the obligations of whatever the job responsibility is. That’s what’s frustrating. I can’t say it’s leadership because that would be hypocritical because I don’t believe

it’s coaches’ faults totally when somebody in the academic department or the training department or the weight room commits a violation and the head coach is totally responsible for that. We do what we can to oversee, but you can have people underneath you that may not carry out the assignment the way it was supposed to be carried out.” “I don’t (put) any blame on the leadership because if I did then I think that’d be very hypocritical. I think the bottom line

reached double figures. Point guards Devonté Graham and Frank Mason III attacked over all 4,700 square feet of the floor. And sophomore Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, who poured in a careerhigh 18 points on 6-of-11 three-point shooting, might have made his most notable contribution by diving, face-first, on the floor for a loose ball to start a fast break with his team leading by 50 late. “I guess we played pretty hard,” KU coach Bill Self said. “It didn’t

seem like we guarded very well for a good part of the game, but that’s one thing with our guys normally; there’s always exceptions, but we do usually play pretty hard, and we compete pretty hard and play with good energy.

We just didn’t close.” Sure, Monday’s easy victory will be remembered by most for Kansas exploding for a 15-of-29 clip from three-point

is there’s some flaws in policies and certainly the lack of partnership is the thing that’s most frustrating with Cheick.” l

Lot of KU fans in house: KU’s loyal legion of fans greatly outnumbered spectators from Honolulu-based school Chaminade on Monday night in 2,400-seat Lahaina Civic Center. A small pocket of Chaminade students that annually take advantage of the school flying them in for an all-day “day

trip” for the first day of the tourney brought pom pons and were quite vocal, especially before the game. Why not more fans? “The people from Hawaii have the opportunity to see us play all the time,” coach Eric Bovaird noted before the tourney started. “They are not going to pay $100 to watch us play when they can wait until next week and watch for $5. We have a good student section there. They catch one game and then fly back, and that’s about it.” l

Manning wins: Former KU basketball All-American Danny Manning claimed arguably his biggest win as a head coach on Monday at Lahaina Civic Center. Now in his second season at Wake Forest after two campaigns at Tulsa, Manning’s Demon Deacons defeated No. 13 Indiana, 82-78. It pushed Wake into today’s semifinals against former KU assistant Kevin Stallings’ Vanderbilt Commodores. Vandy thumped St. John’s 92-55, in another quarterfinal. Wake bagged the huge victory despite not hav-

ing starters Codi MillerMcIntyre (foot fracture) and Cornelius Hudson (suspension). “Indiana has a talented team. When they get the ball in transition, I think their backcourt is one of the best in the country,” Manning said. “For us, we won our first game. We get to advance on the championship side of the bracket. That’s what this means.” He added: “Whenever you have an opportunity to come to a tournament like this, basketball-wise it’s always a great experience,” Manning added. “You are always going to play quality opponents in record fashion — three games in three days. ... This is the second year we’ve been together as a group. We want to build and get better each practice and game.” l

Stallings wins: Of his team’s rout, Vandy coach Stallings said: “I did not anticipate the final margin would be the way it was. I was just pleased with the way that we approached the game and the way we played. We’re always pretty good about sharing the ball.”

land. The best way to cure layup woes is by jacking up threes, right? But this one should more be remembered as the perfect response by the most mature KU team we’ve seen since the 201112 team that reached the national title game. This group might not be led by personalities as strong as Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson, but teams show toughness in many different ways. And the mental toughness to bounce back from an admittedly gut-wrenching loss in a showcase event just a week earlier with an oldfashioned butt whipping shows more than a little about this team. “If you call it an answer, it was good to get back on the winning track,” Self said. “We knew coming in that we had a size advantage and depth advantage and things like that, but, moving forward now, everything the next two nights is going to be very KANSAS FORWARD PERRY ELLIS GETS UP FOR A BUCKET over Chaminade guard Rohndell Goodwin. difficult.”

Big 12 Women No. 1 UConn 97, Kansas State 57 Hartford, Conn. — Breanna Stewart scored 25 points, and top-ranked UConn routed Kansas State on Monday night, the 30th anniversary of Geno Auriemma’s first game as head coach of the Huskies.

Gundy: One-loss Big 12 champ deserves playoff shot

By Stephen Hawkins AP Sports Writer

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy figures there is no reason to be lobbying for a playoff spot if his No. 9 Cowboys rebound from their lone loss to beat Oklahoma for a possible Big 12 title. “Somebody else is going to make that decision. People ask me, and I don’t know that it even matters what I say, just from a standpoint of the people in that room on that committee know how I feel about my team,” Gundy said Monday. “I think coaches who are politicking for leverage are just wasting time.” Gundy was then asked during the weekly Big 12 coaches teleconference if an 11-1 team with an outright Big 12 title should get strong consideration for a playoff spot. “There’s teams definitely that are good enough to get in there and compete and win, so I would agree with what you’re saying,” Gundy responded. The Cowboys (10-1, 7-1) play at No. 5 Oklahoma (10-1, 7-1) on Saturday, a night after No. 7 Baylor (9-1, 6-1) — the only other team still in Big 12 contention — plays at No. 15 TCU (9-2, 6-2). With the Big 12 no longer declaring co-champions and instead using a tiebreaker, Oklahoma State can claim the title with a win in Bedlam and a loss by Baylor in one of its last two games. After TCU, the Bears end their regular season Dec. 5 at home against Texas. Chris Johnson is likely to become Baylor’s third starting quarterback of the season Friday against TCU, which played without star quarterback Trevone Boykin (right ankle) and center Joey Hunt in Saturday’s 30-29 loss at Oklahoma. TCU coach Gary Patterson said Hunt was having surgery and wouldn’t play, though the coach wouldn’t disclose what

Somebody else is “going to make that

decision. People ask me, and I don’t know that it even matters what I say.” — Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy on his team’s chance to make the college football playoffs the injury was. Boykin practiced Sunday with the Frogs. “He’s not 100 percent yet, but every day obviously was far better than he was when we made the decision Friday or Saturday for him not to play,” Patterson said on the teleconference. “Hopefully, he’ll just keep getting better every day. He’s doing his best to try to get back.” Some other notes from the Big 12 call: n West Virginia (6-4), which opened Big 12 play with four consecutive losses to the league’s four ranked teams, got bowl eligible with its third win in a row since, 49-0 Saturday at Kansas. Coach Dana Holgorsen gives the credit to the Mountaineers seniors, the group that helped transition the team into the league. “This is their fourth season in the Big 12, and they understand that it’s all about,” Holgorsen said. “Really, we wanted to do a good job of finishing this year strong, which we’ve done up until this point.” n Kansas coach David Beaty will make his Sunflower State rivalry debut when the Jayhawks (0-11, 0-8) play at Kansas State (4-6, 1-6) on Saturday, their last chance to avoid a winless season. Beaty is hoping to end his first season with a win that would give the program a momentum boost heading into spring practice. “We never said it was going to be easy. We said it was going to be worth it,” he said.

Hornets 127, Kings 122, OT Charlotte, N.C. — Kemba Walker scored 39 points, and Charlotte battled back from 22 points down in the second half to beat Sacramento in overtime Monday night. Nicolas Batum had 18 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists for the Hornets, who have won four of their last five games. Jeremy Lin had seven of his 14 points in overtime. It was the second-largest comeback in franchise history. DeMarcus Cousins had 30 points and 11 rebounds for Sacramento, and Rudy Gay had 28 points and 10 boards. Rajon Rondo had 14 points and 20 assists. Walker had 21 points in the fourth quarter and appeared to win the game on a driving scoop layup down the right side of the lane with 0.7 seconds left. But Gay scored on a side inbounds pass from Rondo to send the game into overtime.

Cavaliers 117, Magic 103 Cleveland — LeBron James joined Oscar Robertson on an exclusive NBA list, and Kevin Love scored a season-high 35 points as Cleveland remained unbeaten at home with a win over Orlando. James had 15 points and 13 assists and joined Robertson, the legendary “Big O,” as the only players in league history to rank in the top 25 in career points and assists. With his fifth assist, James moved past Norm Nixon (6,386) into 25th place and moved alongside Robertson, who finished his Hall of Fame career with 26,710 points and 9,887 assists. James will soon eclipse Robertson’s scoring total, and the unselfish superstar is a good bet to pass the guard on the assist list as well.
