Topeka — Two separate courts are expected to act soon on lawsuits challenging a controversial state law requiring new voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote. Since the law took effect in 2013, more than 32,000 Kansans have had their registrations placed “in suspense” because they COURTS failed to provide the required citizenship proof. And now, under a new regulation by Secretary of State Kris Kobach, state and county election officers are actively purging the suspense voter list of any applications that have been pending for more than 90 days. Kobach On Dec. 4, a federal judge in Kansas City, Kan., will hold a hearing in a case seeking to block election officials from doing that. Meanwhile in state court, Shawnee County District Judge Frank Theis could rule at any time on a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union that challenges

Voting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Kobach’s policy of holding “dual” elections for different categories of voters. Under that system, first used last year, the only people allowed to vote in state or federal elections are those who registered using a state form and showed the required proof of citizenship, and those who were already registered before that law took effect in 2013. Those who register using a federal form, which does not ask for proof of citizenship, are only allowed to vote in federal elections. “In both of these cases, these are liberal organizations bringing lawsuits to challenge Kansas’ proof of citizenship law,” Kobach said. “These organizations represent a position that lost resoundingly in the Legislature. ... It appears that some on the left end of the spectrum, even though the Legislature and people of Kansas are against them, they want a court to go the

other way.” But attorneys who are behind the lawsuits see it differently. Mark Johnson is the lead attorney in the federal lawsuit seeking to block Kobach from purging the list of suspense voters. He also teaches at the Kansas University School of Law. “What we’re going to be doing there is trying to persuade the judge to stop the state from enforcing that rule because it interferes with people’s rights to vote in federal elections,” he said. But some analysts say the more interesting case to watch, at least in the short term, is the Shawnee County lawsuit seeking to block the dual election system. “In that case, we’re challenging the bifurcated election system that Kobach implemented, we say without any authority to do so,” said Doug Bonney, legal director of the ACLU of Kansas, which filed the case. If his side prevails, Bonney said, it could render the whole proof of citizenship requirement on the state registration form meaningless

L awrence J ournal -W orld

because anyone would be able to fully register using the federal form, which does not ask for such proof. The federal lawsuit also seeks to overturn the proof of citizenship law in its entirety on the claim that it is “overly broad and infringes on the rights of U.S. citizens to vote in local, state and federal elections.” They also argue that the state law is superseded by the National Voter Registration Act of 1996, also known as the “motor voter” law, which requires states to recognize the federal registration form. Johnson said, however, that the court will not consider that element of the case until sometime next year. Kansas is one of only three states in the nation that divide the electorate into such categories, according to the National Association of State Legislatures. Oregon and Arizona are the others. And it’s an issue that neither state courts in Kansas nor the federal courts have yet addressed. In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in an Arizona case that states

downturn or crisis a little smaller. It hit its peak population in 1930 and has been slowly shrinking since then, along with much of southeast Kansas. It has been a constant struggle to retain people and jobs. Asked how the economy is doing, Chatterbox Gifts owner Mary Nyhuis answered bluntly: “It stinks.” Rumors had been circulating for years about the 915,000-square-foot Amazon warehouse closing and had never amounted to anything. But on Sept. 29, 2014, when Susan Joplin, a manager in human resources, saw an email alert that a top executive would visit the warehouse, she had an inkling of what was coming. The meeting was short. He told the assembled staff that Amazon was moving in a different direction. It needed warehouses in large cities to speed delivery to more customers. Those who stayed through the end in January or February would collect severance. Although there was a lot of gloom hanging over town after the announcement, the situation hasn’t turned out as badly as feared. Perhaps half of the Amazon workers came from outside of Montgomery County, spreading the pain across the region. The Amazon workers worked into January, then

received severance packages and unemployment insurance. Some were offered a chance to work from home. So, they had income until the end of August. It gave the town and the workers time to adjust. Patti Veley worked in the warehouse until the end of January. She used her severance check to pay bills ahead and spend time with her teenage children. She said her job search was pretty relaxed while her unemployment held out. “I’ve worked since I was 16 years old, so I took some time off to be with my kids,” she said. “I had some quality time with them because I’d never had that.” In a stroke of good fortune, the Coffeyville Resources refinery and the associated Coffeyville Resources nitrogen fertilizer plant had their periodic maintenance, called a “turnaround,” this summer and fall. It brought 3,000 or 4,000 contract workers into town. Retailers used to look forward to the influx of seasonal workers at the Amazon warehouse late in the fall. But this year, the town’s retailers got more, and better paid, contract workers, who promptly started buying things. “Try to find a hotel room in Coffeyville, Kan. Ain’t gonna happen,” said Williams, the mayor. “It’s been an economic boom.”

said. “We know people love, love, love the lights and love that the lights chase away the winter blahs into February.” Once the lights are on, Santa will “land” on top of Weaver’s Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St., and Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical personnel will use a ladder truck to rescue him. Santa will be set up across the street from Weaver’s for the remainder of the night, and children can share their Christmas wishes with him and have photos taken. There will be hot chocolate and treats available.

Usually, there’s about a two-hour line to visit with Santa, Zogry said. But today’s weather forecast may have an effect on that. The National Weather Service in Topeka on Thursday night issued a freezing rain advisory set to last until 6 p.m. Forecasts called for near-freezing temperatures and precipitation throughout the day. Zogry said if organizers decide to cancel the event, an announcement would be made around 3 p.m. through Downtown Lawrence Inc.’s Facebook and Twitter accounts.

must accept the federal voter registration form for federal elections. But it did not directly address the question of whether states can demand proof of citizenship in order to register for state and local elections. It did say that states could request the federal Election Assistance Commission to provide them with federal forms that comport with their particular laws. But when Kansas and Arizona made that request, the EAC refused. An appeals court later sided with the EAC, and the Supreme Court refused to review that decision. Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the opinion in that case, noted the U.S. Constitution is murky on the subject. While the federal government can regulate how federal elections are held, he wrote, it cannot regulate who votes in them. And, “it would raise serious constitutional doubts if a federal statute precluded a state from obtaining the information necessary to enforce its voter qualifications,” he wrote. In 2014, a survey by the

Republican-leaning Rasmussen Reports found that 78 percent of respondents favored requiring voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register.

From the annual commemorations of Quantrill’s Raid to the city streets, schools and other landmarks named for Bleeding Kansas ideologies (Free State, anyone?) and figures, it’s safe to say at this point that Lawrence is a town obsessed with its own history.

A new program at the Lawrence Public Library is capitalizing on that fascination by providing local history buffs and those interested in their own family history with the tools to explore it.

Holiday Lighting Ceremony and Santa Rescue 5:30 p.m. today, US Bank Plaza, corner of Ninth and Massachusetts streets Nothing rings in the holiday season in Lawrence quite like this annual event. Festivities kick off with live entertainment from Lawrence High School choral students and Lawrence Arts Center performers at 5:30 p.m. at the US Bank Plaza.

At 6:20 p.m., Mayor Mike Amyx will flip the switch to illuminate every light-laden tree down Massachusetts Street. Then, “as if by magic,” Santa will appear on the rooftop of Weaver’s Department Store, where a fire department lad-

der truck will carry out the dramatic “rescue.” Once he’s safely on the ground, Santa will be available to take gift requests from the kiddos. Hot drinks by Z’s Divine Espresso and cookies from TCBY/Mrs. Fields will also be on hand.

This production from local theater group Orange Mouse Theatricals, which is known for taking on immersive, often topical, small-scale plays, follows Black Friday shoppers Mary and Neil as they wait in line for “the best deals the universe has to offer in order to salvage their complicated, dysfunctional lives.” In the last hour to go before the store’s opening, questions are raised: Will the shoppers get what they came for (or perhaps more than they bargained for) or just what they deserve? Tickets cost $6 and can be purchased at squareup.com. For more information, visit the show’s Facebook page.

Bizarre Bazaar 5 to 9 p.m. today, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. You’re not likely to find these wacky and wonderful creations among the big-box store merchandise this holiday season. The annual Bizarre Bazaar, or “BizBaz,” returns this weekend with handcrafted pieces from more than 100 area artists, so chances are you’ll find something for just about everyone on your list. (Previous years have included everything from stained glass, jewelry and ceramics to knitwear, paintings and “skateboard art.”) John Young/Journal-World File Photo

Provost search committee in place Heard on the Hill

ansas University now has a search committee in place tasked with finding KU’s next provost. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little shared the names of the chairman and committee members in a memo to campus earlier this week. She said the committee will have its first meeting in early December and that national advertisements for the job should be appearing soon. The committee chairman is Steve Warren, professor and investigator in the Life Span Institute. Here are the other members: Michael Branicky, Dean, School of Engineering; Tammara Durham, Vice Provost, Office of Student Affairs; John Ferraro, Chair, Speech Language Hearing department at KU Medical Center; Joshua Hackathorn, Steamfitter, Facilities Services; Aleah Henderson, Doctoral Student, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology; Kissan Joseph, Professor, School of Business; Paul Kelton, Associate Dean for the Humanities, College of Liberal Arts & Sciences; Mechele Leon, Chair, Theatre department; Julie Loats, Director, Center for Online & Distance Learning; Susan Lunte, Distinguished Professor, Chemistry; and Jessie Pringle, Student Body President. Gray-Little said in the memo she was confident the search would attract top candidates from across the country. “This is an

exciting and important search for the University of Kansas,” she wrote. “We have made great progress implementing our strategic plan, Bold Aspirations, and will look to our new provost to continue that progress.” Jeff Vitter is leaving KU to become chancellor at the University of Mississippi. Sara Rosen, senior vice provost for academic affairs, will become KU’s interim provost beginning Jan. 1. I sat down with GrayLittle recently, and the provost search was one of the things I asked her about. Watch for a story about my conversation with the chancellor in the Journal-World sometime this weekend. l Dean of libraries search: In other hiring news, another still-open search is that for a new dean of libraries. Four candidates visited KU in late October-early November. Search committee chairwoman Saralyn Reece

to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine. Santos-Valderama pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the “possession with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine.” Cook pleaded to misprision of felony, which, according to United States law, is a person who “(had) knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, (but) conceal(ed) and (did) not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States.” Benito Olivas-Yanez is expected to enter a plea on Dec. 2. The remaining defendants — Eugenio Garcia-Estrada, Monica Ortiz-Soto, Ezequiel Olivas-Yanez, Jose LopezRuiz and Raul RamirezFlores — have not yet resolved their cases in federal court, according to court records. Further hearings in their cases will be set in the future, but none is scheduled at this time, according to the U.S. District Court Clerk’s Office. United States District Judge Julie Robinson sentenced Ruiz to 14 years; Zavala and Lopez-Arena

Police also seized a 9mm handgun and several thousand dollars in cash in the August raid. During a news conference unveiling the raid, police estimated that the street value of the drugs was nearly $1 million, making it the largest meth bust ever in the Douglas County area. At the time, Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman, said investigators had “a clear and direct connection to the Mexican drug cartel. People might think this isn’t happening, but they’re wrong.” So far, defendants Stephen Rowlette, Jose Ruiz, Miguel Corona-Monjo, Humberto Rascon-Frias, Fidel Zavala, Eliser Lopez-Arenas, Chrystal Cook, Manuel LopezDeharo, Alejandro Santos-Valderama and Juan Gonzalez-Bartolo have all taken plea deals with the prosecution, according to federal court records.

She should be on campus early in the spring semester. l OMA director search: In case you missed the article earlier this week, three finalists for the position of director of KU’s Office of Multicultural Affairs are coming to campus next week.

to 10 years; Cook to nearly three years; SantosValderama to four years and Gonzalez-Bartolo to eight years, according to federal court documents. Lopez-Deharo has a sentencing hearing coming up on Jan. 19. CoronaMonjo and Humberto Rascon-Frias will be sentenced June 13, 2016, according to court records. Information regarding Rowlette’s sentencing was not available in federal court records, as the last entries on his case involved a series of sealed motions leading up to June 26, 2015. Rowlette faces between 20 and 66 years in prison, according to his plea agreement. Ezequiel Olivas-Yanez, was also one of two men arrested and charged with felonies related to a cockfighting operation at the rural Douglas County residence. Olivas-Yanez pleaded guilty and was eventually sentenced to probation in 2011 following a four-year investigation that led to the seizure of 118 gamecocks, 48 hens and three chicks, according to the office of Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson. – Public safety reporter Caitlin Doornbos can be reached at 832-7146 or cvdoornbos@ljworld.com.

BRIEFLY Prosecutors seek removal of embattled councilman

Topeka (ap) — Prosecutors are seeking to remove a member of the Topeka City Council over child abuse allegations. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Shawnee County prosecutors filed a civil action Tuesday seeking first to suspend and then to oust Jonathan Robert Schumm. Court records show that the 34-year-old is accused of choking a child and threatening to “kill him” the next time. Schumm and his wife are charged in Shawnee County District Court on charges of aggravated battery or, in the alternative, abuse of a child. Both are free on bond. The Schumms have 16 children, including four who are their biological children, two who are in foster care and 10 who are adopted. His attorney, Tom Lemon, didn’t immediately return a phone call from The Associated Press seeking comment.

Topeka (ap) — The governor’s Christmas tree has arrived at Cedar Crest on a horse-drawn coach. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Gov. Sam Brownback hopped on the high-wheel hitch wagon for the final leg of the delivery. He shouted “Merry Christmas” and “Happy Thanksgiving” after jumping from the wagon in front of the governor’s mansion. Brownback and his wife, Mary, said the tradition stirred memories of past family outings to secure a holiday tree. The wagon loaded with the Scotch pine from the Strawberry Hill Christmas Tree farm west of Lawrence was pulled by a pair of Percherons named Bill and Buck. Their owner, Wellsville farmer Robin Dunn, has performed the delivery duty for more than a dozen years. Dunn says the event “kicks off the Christmas season.

Library CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Lawrence and Douglas County as well as resources for genealogical research, says Melissa Fisher Isaacs, information services coordinator. It has for years, even in the library’s old location. But the room hasn’t seen much activity in its new home at the rebuilt Lawrence Public Library at 707 Vermont St., Isaacs says. She’s hoping the new Genealogy + Local History Drop-in program will change that. “Since we’ve moved into the new building, it’s been one of those parts of the library that we’ve been trying to reinvent how we connect with,” says Isaacs, who’s spearheading the new program. “And maybe bring a bit more community awareness to that resource.” The program, which began earlier this month,

invites the public to stop by the Helen Osma Local History Collection room, located on the lower level of the library, every first and third Wednesday of the month from 4 to 5 p.m. — no reservations or fees required. On those days, library staffers will be available to connect participants with genealogy and local history resources and demonstrate how to use ancestry. com and Heritage Quest. And, for those interested in recording an oral history with family members, audio engineer Ed Rose will be on hand to provide information (including how to book a session and use the equipment) on the library’s Sound + Vision studio. The library also recently launched its “Book a Librarian” service, which allows anyone who can’t make it on Wednesdays to schedule, via phone or the library’s website, a halfhour research session with a librarian. “If we don’t have it, we

can probably point you toward the direction you want to go,” says Isaacs, who’s also in talks to bring in volunteers from the Douglas County Genealogical Society and the Watkins Museum of History. As a former assistant curator and manager of the Johnson County Museum research library, she understands Lawrence’s preoccupation with the past firsthand. After two decades here, Isaacs has developed a “passion” for local history. She hopes like-minded Lawrencians will find their way to the library on Wednesday afternoons. “Ultimately, I think it would be neat to foster our community of people who are interested in local history,” Isaacs says. “That it would be not only an opportunity for people to be more aware of the resources that the library has, but also to make connections with people in the community who have similar interests.”

Going Out A guide to what’s happening in Lawrence

Young at art: Van Go holiday sale opens Saturday

he holidays are going to the dogs (and other members of the animal kingdom) this weekend, when Van Go Inc. kicks off its month-long Adornment Holiday Art Sale and Show from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday. The Van Go headquarters at 715 New Jersey St. will be transformed into a gallery — complete with twinkling lights, live music and original artwork filling almost every inch of the space — for the occasion, which raises funds for Van Go’s apprentice artist program. About 30 young artists ages 14 to 24 are represented at the critter-themed show, which boasts everything from pastel animal portraits, glass plates and lit marquee signs to laser-cut jewelry, animal beds made out of suitcases and beastly creations called “Vanimals” that are affixed to wall mounts in the tradition of taxidermied game. All proceeds from the show benefit Van Go programs, which offer arts-based employment opportunities to underserved youths. “It’s all one-of-a-kind, not mass-produced work,”

says Lynne Green, Van Go executive director. “Not only are you able to buy a beautiful piece of artwork made by our kids, you can also support a nonprofit. So, it feels really good to be a part of it.” The price range this year runs from twofor-$5 magnets to boneshaped marquee signs (for the dog lover in your life) at $150 apiece, says Green, who’s hoping to raise about $25,000 total. That money, she notes, makes a major difference for Van Go — “we can buy snacks for the kids, we can keep the lights on, we can just operate,” Green says. At 7 p.m. sharp on opening night, a bell is rung to signify the start of the sale and a mad dash ensues to snatch up artwork. The event also includes wine, a treat and free gift wrap, but the main event — at least for

VAN GO APPRENTICE ARTIST BELLE RAY CAREFULLY ADDS A DECORATIVE DESIGN to a rabbit-gazelle hybrid “Van-imal” on Oct. 27 at Van Go Inc., 715 New Jersey St. Ray and other young artists were crafting various beastly creations that will be affixed to wall mounts and sold during Van Go’s Adornment Art Show and Sale, which opens on Saturday and runs through Dec. 24. Green and her staff — is the recognition ceremony, where all 26 of the apprentice artists are introduced and a handful are asked to speak. “It’s quite an emotional experience for those

adults who are here to listen, because the kiddos really speak from their hearts about what being in Van Go has meant to them and how it has changed their lives, in some cases,” Green

says. “That’s the point at which people ‘get it’ and understand what Van Go’s really about.” Any pieces that go unsold Saturday night will still be available at Van Go 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. on the weekends until Dec. 24. — This is an excerpt from features reporter Joanna Hlavacek’s Out & About blog, which appears regularly on Lawrence.com.

PIZZA BURGER Burger enthusiasts, be warned: If you’re considering ordering the Betta’ Pizza Burger at the Sandwich Bowl, there’s something you should know. This culinary mash-up isn’t really the patty-ona-bun burger. Instead, it’s more along the lines of a meatball marinara sub. At Sandwich Bowl, all the traditional components of a pizza — plus a half pound of ground beef, broken into bite-sized morsels — are loaded onto a hoagie bun that’s crispy on the outside and

soft on the inside. In this case, that entails marinara sauce, pepperoni, green bell pepper, onion, oregano, and both provolone and mozzarella cheeses, which cover the meat-and-veggie mixture in a ooey-gooey, still-bubbling blanket of goodness. Where to get it: The Sandwich Bowl, 3514 Clinton Parkway, Suite E What you’ll pay: $8.99 Try it with: Since this thing is so heavy (did I mention there’s half pound of ground beef in here, plus pepperoni?),

Sometimes apologizing is the only option Dear Annie: I saw the letter from “Frustrated,” the nearly 90-year-old man whose wife is now in a nursing home after a stroke. He said his oldest son won’t visit and becomes angry when asked. It’s truly sad how dynamics between parents and children can get completely off track when well-meaning parents, either through a lack of knowledge or mindfulness, do not understand the pain they cause to their children by the underlying critical messages they convey. At first glance, a son who won’t visit his elderly mother in a nursing home would seem to lack compassion. But the frustrated father who wrote the letter conveyed

an unspoken tone of disapproval by implying that the older son should feel guilty for not measuring up to the example of his supportive younger brother. Based on the son’s reported outburst and his stated feelings of never being heard, this has likely been the pattern of a lifetime, however unintentional the father’s comparisons may have been. If the father

Do you remember? Wells does “Unforgettable” (7 p.m. and 8 p.m., A&E, TV-14) opens its fourth season with back-to-back episodes. For the uninitiated, the police procedural stars Poppy Montgomery as Carrie Wells, a police detective with a remarkable talent — or, perhaps, a burden. She has hyperthymesia, a rare condition that enables her to visually remember every moment of her life. Just where did she leave that blue sock on Jan. 23, 2007? Carrie has a picture of it locked up somewhere in her own personal hard drive. And she has the ability to retrieve it at will. Is this a blessing or a curse? As amazing, or terrible, as hyperthymesia sounds, it is not the stuff of comic books. It is not a “super” power. There are real people walking around with such remarkable memories. Some were profiled on a rather popular episode of “60 Minutes” in 2010. Stranger still, among those who appeared in the segment was Marilu Henner, star of “Taxi.”

The WE Network takes a page from Netflix and other streaming services and allows viewers to “binge” on its new series, “South of Hell” (4 p.m., TV-14) in one seven-episode dollop. Created by Eli Roth and Jason Blum, “South” stars Mena Suvari (“Chicago Fire,” “American Beauty”) as a demon hunter plagued by the evil she has exorcised from others.

Thanksgiving not only ushers in the shopping season, it marks the beginning of winterweather-hysteria programming, endless hours of blizzard anticipation and storms covered as if they were military invasions or portents of doom. Just in case the Weather Channel doesn’t have enough real weather drama, it will air “Dead of Winter: The Donner Party” (8 p.m.), a twohour dramatization of the 19thcentury account of more than 80 settlers stranded by a blizzard in the Sierra Nevada.

What’s worse is when one of them tries to convince the other that their perspective is wrong. This is a recipe for resentment and defensiveness.

of misunderstandings and skewed perspectives can get in the way. In order to move past these issues, you sometimes have to be the bigger person and apologize, whether you believe it’s warranted or not.

EDITORIALS

Key transition Transitions in several key leadership jobs offer challenges, as well as opportunities, for Lawrence.

he resignation of Lawrence School Superintendent Rick Doll creates a vacancy in another key leadership role in the community. Lawrence city commissioners are in the process of hiring a new city manager, and searches are underway for a new provost at Kansas University and a new CEO for Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Now, the Lawrence school board will be setting the process to replace Dole, who will leave his post at the end of the current school year. Doll, who came to the Lawrence district in July 2009, told school board members Monday night that he had accepted a job as an associate professor and executive director of the Kansas Educational Leadership Institute at Kansas State University. He said his seven years with the Lawrence district had been “the most rewarding of my career,” but that he was drawn to the new job because it would give him an opportunity to return to teaching. Doll expressed pride in the work that had been done on district equity issues during his tenure, and Board President Vanessa Sanburn acknowledged Doll’s willingness to take on difficult issues like achievement gaps and race relations. Noting that the district has “some very large shoes to fill,” Sanburn said the search for Doll’s replacement would begin immediately. The district’s director of human resources said the board must move quickly because application deadlines for superintendent positions in other districts are in early and midJanuary, and Lawrence doesn’t want to be left behind. Among the decisions to be made is whether the district should hire a search firm to aid in the hiring process. This is a challenging time for the board. As has been said about the City Commission’s hiring of a new city manager, Doll told the board Monday that hiring his replacement “is probably the most important thing you’ll do as a board.” Whether or not board members decide to use a search firm, they should set a process that takes advantage of local expertise and public input in making this key decision. The board may find candidates among successful superintendents at other Kansas school districts. It’s hard to tell whether the uncertainties surrounding state funding for public schools in Kansas will discourage any potential candidates from out of state, but a community that is as supportive of public education as Lawrence is likely will be attractive to many superintendent candidates. The ideal candidate probably is one who blends strong traditional experience with the innovative thinking that will be required to meet the city’s future educational needs. We wish both Doll and the school board much success as they finish out the current school year and prepare for a transition in the superintendent’s office.

Unsung heroes at work in Mideast Washington — If you’re cringing this Thanksgiving at the homicidal youth gang that calls itself the Islamic State, you might consider the narratives of three young people in the Middle East who are trying to make a positive difference. The killers and fanatics may get the headlines, but these three represent an untold part of the story. One is an Egyptian journalist who bravely investigated the growth of extremism and official corruption in the Sinai Peninsula. The threat there became obvious to the world last month when terrorists bombed a Russian airliner after it took off from Sharm el-Sheikh. My journalist friend has been trying to warn people about the Sinai mess since 2011. My two other unsung heroes are Syrian civilsociety activists, brought to Washington by the Middle East Institute. They helped found groups that are keeping people alive in the nightmare of the Syrian civil war. One of them was imprisoned in Damascus for the crime of providing relief supplies. These three haven’t lost hope that the Arab world will eventually become modern, despite its present torments. They remind me that the spirit of freedom and change that animated what we once hopefully called the “Arab Spring” is still alive, no matter how hard the dictators and religious zealots have tried to kill it.

“

They remind me that the spirit of freedom and change that animated what we once hopefully called the ‘Arab Spring’ is still alive, no matter how hard the dictators and religious zealots have tried to kill it.” Mohannad Sabry, 32, is a freelance journalist from Cairo. Starting in 2006, he became fascinated by the Sinai region. He spoke Bedouin dialects, and traveled where few would dare go. He wanted to write a book about what he saw, but in 2008, he was diagnosed with leukemia. Once in remission, he went back to his work with new passion. Sabry was a reporter during the January 2011 uprising in Tahrir Square that toppled President Hosni Mubarak. As a stringer for McClatchy Newspapers, he wrote a story in June 2011 about the brazen smuggling from Sinai through tunnels into Gaza. “I had AK-47s shoved in my face everywhere I went,” he tells me. “It was clear

that this region was lawless enough to create a disaster.” The Egyptian military and police “turned a blind eye,” he says. Officials were profiting from the corruption that allowed the warlords to flourish, and al-Qaida extremists to take root. As an independent journalist, Sabry saw things that could have saved Egypt from the ticking bomb in Sinai. He has just published a book, “Sinai: Egypt’s Linchpin, Gaza’s Lifeline, Israel’s Nightmare.” It’s a reminder of what journalists do at their best. Sandra Bitar, 35, is an activist from Homs. In May 2011, when the Syrian conflict was beginning, she cofounded a group called “Emissa,” which is the ancient Greek name of her city. After she was imprisoned twice, she was forced to leave Syria, and her group is now based in Turkey. I ask what prison was like, and the answer is laced with tears. “In prison, you cannot sleep at night because of the screams of other prisoners who are being tortured. You see their bruised bodies in the corridors, and you smell the burned flesh.” Bitar’s city of Homs is besieged by both the Islamic State and the Assad regime. Her group smuggles money from Turkey to fund relief and development projects. She refuses to take political sides. “We deliver services to everyone. We don’t allow politics into it,” she says. Kadar Sheikhmous, 27,

is from the predominantly Kurdish town of Qamishli in northeast Syria. He helped found the Union of Free Syrian Students in September 2011. He left after his colleagues were killed or had turned to violence. In 2013, he cofounded “Shar for Development.” Shar is the Kurdish word for city; one of the group’s missions has been to unite Kurds and Arabs despite the ethnic hatreds driving the war. Sheikhmous is a computer engineer who, in another country, might be running a start-up. Instead, he’s using his skills to train representatives of 45 local councils across Syria how to keep their Internet communications secure. “We believe that civil society is the foundation from which the solution will eventually come,” he explains. Bitar tells me about a village called Saraqib, near extremist enclaves in Idlib Province. The jihadists tried to veil women and ban smoking there, but they backed off after a wave of protest demonstrations. “When you have a strong civil society, nobody dares to interfere,” she explains. “These groups are the first front against radicalism and dictatorship.” Here’s the simple truth: The convulsions of the Middle East won’t end until citizens like these three have the power to fix what’s wrong. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

PUBLIC FORUM

Safer Kansas? To the editor: In a recent column, Charles Krauthammer raises the issue of a Syrian passport found on the body of one of the perpetrators of the massacres in Paris. Why was it there, he asks. To show that the Islamic State (ISIS) can infiltrate the masses of refugees battering on the gates of Europe. Why is that important? Krauthammer does not pursue the thread of his narrative, but here is a theory: ISIS wants to scare countries into banning the refugees from entering their territory. That will leave thousands of these wretched people to waste away in fetid refugee camps. That suits the Islamic extremists just fine: It will vastly simplify their recruitment of new jihadists. This strategy is working brilliantly with many American politicians — a majority of the House of Representatives, for example, and a majority of the country’s governors, our own Sam Brownback among them. By contrast, France is sticking to its commitment to accept 30,000 refugees from North Africa and the Middle East. Germany is preparing to host well over 1 million. This country so far has accepted only 2,000 Syrian refugees since the Syrian civil war began four years ago. Of course, Gov. Brownback has to protect the safety of Kansans, but don’t Kansans deserve protection against the homegrown terrorists who shoot up

college campuses, movie houses, and primary schools? Apparently the governor didn’t think so when he signed law earlier this year making it legal to carry concealed weapons in this state without a license or training. Robert Fraga, Lawrence

Development denial To the editor: Every major U.S. right-wing ideology depends on science denial. Some are motivated by religious extremism, e.g.: l creationist denial of evolution, or l antiabortionist denial that promoting contraception is the only proven means for reducing abortion. Some are motivated by xenophobia, e.g.: l racist denial that police tend to discriminate against black people, or l nativist denial that illegal immigrants in America produce more than they consume. However most are substantially motivated by profit. l The gun industry supports pseudoscience denying that household guns endanger your babies. l The fossil fuel industry spends hundreds of millions denying climate change. l The lead and asbestos and tobacco industries at various times spent billions denying health risks. l The genetic engineering/chemical complex denies that glyphosate kills people. l Nuclear power companies deny

that their profits depend entirely on the Price-Anderson subsidy. l Health insurance companies deny that single-payer is far more efficient. l The anti-terrorism industry denies that terrorism is a statistically insignificant threat to American mortality rates. Meanwhile in Lawrence, our very own real-estate/construction/development complex denies the observable fact that unbridled retail sprawl is a negative-sum game. It has: l stunted downtown retailing, l driven older malls into the ground, l increased tax costs for infrastructure, l reduced average real sales per square foot of retail space, and l on net, brought no detectible new sales tax revenues into the community. Yet each developer claims his next mall will bring in new millions from somewhere. And City Hall rolls over and plays dead. And seems poised to reprise, south of the K-10 bypass.

Shoppers wait Thursday outside a Macy’s store in New York. Many retail outlets opened their doors early to bargain hunters.

Early shopping has grown in popularity Jefferson Graham USA TODAY

It seems you can have your turkey and snag great deals at the same time. Early reports for early Thanksgiving Black Friday sales show a record number of consumers using mobile devices for shopping. Software firm Adobe, which tracks sales at 4500 websites, predicts $1.7 billion for the 24hour Thursday period. Researcher Shoppertrack says retail stores rang up $3.2 billion in sales last Thanksgiving. The LOS ANGELES

Thursday/Friday period generated some $12.29 billion in sales at retail, says Shoppertrack. Thursday, between midnight and 5:30 p.m. ET, some $1 billion worth of sales had been generated in online sales, up 22% from the previous Thanksgiving, with over 26% of sales from mobile devices. Adobe projects it will close the day at 29%, a record. Adobe says the average discount is 24%, and that sales were led by Star Wars toy product, the Pie Face Game and Crayola Super Art Coloring Kit, along with tech items such as Samsung 4K TVs, the heavily discounted Apple iPad Air 2, videogame consoles xBox One and Sony PlayStation 4 and the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. Adobe projects about $2.7 bil-

lion will be spent online Friday and $3 billion Monday. Meanwhile, Thanksgiving Day shopping has grown in popularity as retailers have expanded Black Friday store sales from Friday into Thursday. This year, 22.3% of consumers are expected to shop on Thanksgiving, up from 18.3% last year, according to the National Retail Federation. Overall, nearly 136 million people are slated to shop over the entire holiday weekend, up from nearly 134 million last year, according to NRF. The biggest retail chains — including Walmart, Target and Best Buy, planned to open at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, while others waited for the traditional Black Friday — including

The performance-enhancing stimulant recently revealed to have been used by Islamic State fighters and linked to the perpetrators of the Paris terror attacks has a murky history involving the top level of German sports. The active ingredient in Captagon, which was reported by various French media outlets to have been found among the personal effects of the suicide bombers that wreaked havoc in the French capital two weeks ago and is widely distributed among ISIS members in the Middle East, is on the list of substances banned in sports by the World Anti-Doping Agency. However, in the 1970s and ’80s, its use — especially in Germany — was so widespread that leading soccer clubs would openly provide the drug for their players to ingest, according to veteran coach and former player Peter Neururer. “A long time ago, before there were tests on drugs in Germany, it was quite normal,” Neururer told USA TODAY Sports in a telev STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Putin agrees to work with anti-ISIL coalition Cameron: Bombing will ‘make us safer’

French President François Hollande, left, and Russian President Vladimir Putin wrap up a news conference Thursday at the Kremlin.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told French President François Hollande on Thursday that he is willing to work more closely with the U.S.-led coalition battling the Islamic State in Syria. “Our positions are the same,” Putin said. “We are prepared to work with you.” British Prime Minister David Cameron, earlier Thursday, publicly set out his case for the United Kingdom joining U.S.-led coalition airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria, saying that to do so would “make us safer.” Cameron told British parliamentarians that the country was already being targeted by the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, and that it was imperative that they “take action” now. The Royal Air Force is already bombing ISIL targets in Iraq, but

Britain’s Parliament voted against strikes against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces in 2013 when allegations surfaced that it was using chemical weapons against opposition forces. The diplomatic development with Russia came as Hollande traveled to Moscow as part of a week-long effort to bolster sup-

port for the fight against the militant group responsible for the Paris attacks that killed 130 people on Nov. 13. On Tuesday, the French president met with President Obama in Washington. Putin and Hollande said they agreed to increase the exchange of intelligence on ISIL and to

work to improve coordination over airstrikes. “What we agreed, and this is important, is to strike only terrorists and the (Islamic State) and to not strike forces fighting terrorism,” Hollande said, speaking at a joint news conference with Putin. The French president’s trip to Moscow had threatened to be overshadowed by the downing of a Russian jet near the Syrian border this week by Turkey. Turkey is a NATO member that backs the West’s assertion that peace in Syria can be achieved only if Assad steps down. Putin views Assad as a “natural ally” and has stated that it should be up to the Syrian people to decide who governs them. Putin criticized Washington on Thursday, saying that as the leader of the anti-ISIL coalition it should have ensured that a Russian warplane was not targeted. “We proceed from the assumption that it will never happen again,” he said. “Otherwise we don’t need any such cooperation with any country.”

Super PAC ad attack will be coming soon from the GOP Iowa, N.H. targeted for next two months Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

A Republican advertising onslaught will hit the airwaves in Iowa and New Hampshire in the next two months, largely led by outside groups that already dominate political spending before next year’s election. About 70% of the candidate-focused ads reserved in December and January in the two states that lead off the GOP nomination batWASHINGTON

tle come from super PACs or other candidate-aligned political groups that can raise unlimited sums, tallies by Kantar Media’s Campaign Media Analysis Group and other trackers show. In New Hampshire, more than $20 million of the roughly $27 million in TV and radio advertising planned for December and January comes from groups supporting individual candidates rather than their campaigns. A super PAC aligned with Republican Jeb Bush accounts for about 40% of the planned GOP presidential advertising in the state over the next two months. It has spent about $12 million

since early September in the Granite State, according to media trackers. Outside groups supporting New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Flori-

da Sen. Marco Rubio also have spent heavily in the state. “These super PACs have been setting the table for New Hampshire voters,” in sharp contrast to previous elections when campaigns took on that function, says Dante Scala, a political scientist at the University of New Hampshire. The lopsided spending by super PACs underscores their outsized role in a race that has seen candidates such as Bush stumble in the polls and fight to retain their fundraising edge. Bush drew $103 million to his super PAC during the first half of the year, but he has attracted far less mon-

ey — roughly $25 million over a six-month period — to his campaign. “Campaigns are having trouble raising money. Super PACs have the money. They don’t have a choice” but to take the lead in advertising, says Evan Tracey, a Republican media consultant with National Media in Alexandria, Va. Billionaire Donald Trump has dominated the race without investing in a single TV commercial. “Advertising isn’t doing for candidates what it has traditionally done,” says Elizabeth Wilner, who tracks political ads for Kantar.

Be thankful for what many don’t have Alan Gomez @alangomez USA TODAY

MIAMI As we spend another long Thanksgiving holiday weekend surrounded by family and friends, gathering together around food and football, it’s a good time to give thanks for the most basic of gifts: a safe and comfortable home. There has never been a more appropriate time to be thankful for what for so many is a luxury. Nearly 60 million people around the world are on the run, fleeing wars and persecution, a staggering number of refugees not seen since Europeans were forcibly scattered after World War II, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Things are far from perfect in the U.S. Politics in Washington are more polarized than ever. Race relations suffered another devastating blow this week when video was released of a white Chicago police officer shooting a black teenager 16 times. If you’re paying attention to the presidential debates, you couldn’t be blamed for thinking the country is about to collapse. Yet no matter how bad things may seem, it could be far worse. You could be living in the largest refugee camp in the world, a massive complex around Da-

life-threatening journeys across the Mediterranean only to find you’re not welcome in many European countries — or in the USA — because of fears that terrorists are in your midst. You could be an Afghan living outside your country, waiting until a reliable central government emerges that can make life tolerable for you and your family. You could be an Iraqi fleeing Islamic State militants in the north or the Sunni-Shiite battles everywhere else. You could be running from gang violence fueled by drug cartels in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador that has been so severe that those three countries rank in the top six of the world’s highest homicide rates. You could be one of the more than 1,000 Cubans who fled their country’s communist government but are stuck in Central America, blocked by Nicaraguan officials from continuing their journey to the USA. You could be trying to escape from Haiti as political turmoil chokes off the possibility of recovery after that country’s devastating earthquake, only to find that you’re not welcome in the neighboring Dominican Republic. You could be running from Colombia, home of the Western Hemisphere’s longest-running civil war. You could be a Ukrainian fleeing the war that rages in the eastern half of the country. You could be running from the wars tearing apart South Sudan, Libya

or Yemen. You could be fleeing terrorism fueled by the extremist group Boko Haram in and around Nigeria. All told, one out of every 122 people in the world is a refugee, according to the United Nations. I will spend the holiday weekend surrounded by a group of former refugees: my family. They fled Cuba shortly after Fidel Castro took control of the island on New Year’s Day 1959, starting over in Miami. Though the specifics of their refugee experience are unique, their reasons for uprooting their lives are not. Just like every other wave of refugees or other migrants, they left their homes, their belongings, their livelihoods behind to try to stake a claim in another part of the world, one where they would feel safer and their children had the possibility of a better future. I was fortunate enough to be born in this country, because my parents and their relatives had the courage to take that terrifying risk. It’s the same leap taken by all those millions of people who are living in tents, cramming into rickety boats or walking for miles, searching for a border to cross and a new place to call home. For those of us who have already found one, let’s give thanks and hope that they find theirs, too. Gomez is a Miami-based reporter for USA TODAY who covers immigration.

I saw it.” Originally manufactured to counteract hyperactivity and depression, Captagon fell out of favor in Western medical circles but, according to an extensive Reuters report last year, is used by both jihadists and regular members of Middle Eastern society. Captagon contains fenethylline, which acts as a stimulant that can keep the user awake and provide a high level of alertness lasting several days. According to Forbes, the original version of Captagon was produced by German pharmaceutical company Degussa AG in the 1960s. A subsidiary of Degussa made the Zyklon B gas that was used to poison and murder Jewish victims in concentration camps during World War II. Captagon’s use in German sports first came to mainstream

According to German Sports, Doping and Politics, an extensively researched history of doping in German athletics, it was reported that in 1970 Erich Klamma, a German decathlete, tested positive for Captagon but argued, with supporting medical evidence, that it treated pyelitis, or inflammation of the pelvis.

HEALTH CARE CUTS DON’T BOOST WAGES

Employers say feds lack understanding of how companies make salary decisions Jayne O’Donnell USA TODAY

Companies aren’t paying workers more as they cut spending on health benefits, a trend that threatens to undermine the key estimate of the funding for Obamacare, federal data show. The Congressional Budget Office estimates a controversial excise tax that employers will have to pay on generous health benefits starting in 2018 will raise about $87 billion in revenue over 10 years. About 75% of the revenue from this “Cadillac tax” is supposed to come from taxes on the higher wages workers are supposed to

get as companies slash their benefits to avoid paying the tax. The other 25% or so is expected to come from the tax itself. Companies Brian will have to pay Marcotte 40% of the value of benefits over a certain threshold. “How CBO is scoring this is completely flawed,” says Brian Marcotte, CEO of the National Business Group on Health, a nonprofit that represents employers. “It really reflects a lack of understanding how companies make

wage decisions.” This revenue is supposed to help fund the Affordable Care Act’s expansion of health care to millions of people and to keep the law from adding to the deficit. Companies have a vested interest in killing and undermining the tax, which labor groups have targeted for years and many politicians from both parties oppose. Employers blame the tax for the

increasing share workers pay for their benefits, and they don’t want to shock workers with a sudden drop in benefits in two years. Survey findings vary, but it’s clear at least a third to half of all employers have health plans that would trigger the tax in the next five years if they didn’t shift more of the costs to employees. A huge drop in benefit growth

rates in 2011 clearly enabled employers to increase wages at that time, says former Labor Department economist and official Mark Wilson. Wage growth should have picked up as the unemployment rate dropped to 5% since then, he says, and Bureau of Labor Statistics data show it hasn’t. Wages make up about 70% of total compensation, and benefits account for about 30%, so the percentage point change in the rate of growth in wages and benefits doen’t mirror each other, says Wilson, chief economist for the business-funded American Health Policy Institute. Marcotte, former vice president of benefits at Honeywell, says companies may reinvest any money they get from paying less for benefits or might add to retirement accounts or start life insurance policies, moves that wouldn’t lead to higher tax revenue. In a long-term budget outlook published in March, the CBO predicted “total tax revenues would ultimately rise compared with what they would have been without the tax.” The CBO noted that some of the health benefit savings may show up in profits rather than wages, but those get taxed, too, so they would increase revenue. Corporate profits have been down in the past few quarters.

Iraqis encircle ISIL-occupied Ramadi Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Iraqi security forces seized a key bridge leading to the city of Ramadi on Thursday, severing the last link Islamic State militants had to the outside, according to Army Col. Steve Warren. In May, fighters from the Islamic State, also known as ISIL, seized the city, capital of Anbar province, after Iraqi security forces fled. Since then, U.S.-trained and equipped forces have encircled the city but have been unable to breach the defenses ISIL has erected. They have ringed the city with homemade bombs, creating minefields that Iraqi forces have been reluctant to cross. Iraqi forces on Wednesday seized the Palestine bridge, said Warren, the spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition fighting ISIL. Last week, U.S. officials publicly expressed frustration with the pace of the Iraqi offensive to retake the town. Warren noted that U.S.-led airstrikes, equipment and training had been in place. Iraqi security forces outnumber ISIL fighters in Ramadi, who are thought to number in the hundreds.

Special for USA TODAY JERUSALEM Dressed in skirts over their jeans and scarves on their heads, two teenage Palestinian girls from northern Jerusalem headed to downtown Jerusalem on Monday, took out scissors and stabbed a 70-yearold Palestinian man they had mistaken for an Israeli Jew. An Israeli security guard fatally shot Hadeel Awaad, 16, and a policeman shot and wounded her cousin, Norham Awwad, 14. The attack is among more than a dozen carried out by female Palestinians in the past two months, as violence directed against Israelis has escalated. That amounts to roughly one in seven assaults by female assailants, including girls under 18, a statistic that is both a source of concern and respect within the Palestinian community. “It’s not that as a society, we excuse what these girls are doing. They had their whole future in front of them,” said Suheir Farraj, director of Women, Media and Development, a Palestinian nonprofit group that focuses on women’s empowerment. “But when there is (Israeli) occupation ... and if we do not have a real peace based on equal rights and freedom, our young people have no hope.” Israeli police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said security personnel “see an increase in female terrorists who have carried out attacks against innocent Israelis over the last weeks.” Until the recent violence, at-

tacks by Palestinian females have been relatively rare in recent decades, according to Devorah Margolin, a researcher at the Institute for International Counter-Terrorism at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya. Margolin said that from the 1960s through the early 1990s, nearly 100 women took part in hijackings and bombings. The emergence in 1987 of Islamic fundamentalist groups, such as Hamas, led to more stringent restrictions on activities by Palestinian women “and their participation in terrorism in particular.” That is why the second intifada, or Palestinian uprising, from 2000 to 2005 “was more maledominated” than the first, from 1987 to 1993, she said. Mahdi Abdel Hadi, who heads the Palestinian Academic Society for the Study of International Affairs, said organized terror groups’ exclusion of women from the front lines led to stronger women’s resistance on the home front.

Emergency personnel assist an Israeli woman who was an eyewitness to the stabbing.

“They became the revolutionary cornerstone back during the first intifada, in 1987 and 1988,” he said. “It was the women who organized aid for the injured, hot food for the fugitives, distributing leaflets. This exposed the strength and power of Palestinian women. Today, they lead the movement to boycott Israelis’ goods and the push for a homegrown Palestinian economy.” As much as women may be valued on the home front, women’s rights activists said, oppressive Palestinian social policies, such as arranged and underaged marriages and difficulties in reporting domestic violence, may have prompted some women and girls to launch suicidal attacks to escape their unhappy lives without committing outright suicide — a taboo in Palestinian society. “There’s a lack of freedom, a lack of movement, a lack of social freedom, of choosing your own future,” Farraj said. Haneen Zoabi, an Arab woman who is a member of Israel’s parliament, said Palestinian attacks, especially by women, “break Israelis’ routine and raise their consciousness of Palestinians. Israelis rarely feel the occupation.” Yet, Zoabi said, violent attacks “aren’t based on the values I want my people to preserve. We don’t struggle against human beings, we struggle against policies. We can’t change reality by targeting individuals. We must make Israel pay the price for its occupation through popular resistance,” such as economic boycotts. In East Jerusalem, Haneen Maaly, 20, a student, said attacks such as the one by the Awwad cousins “are a bad idea.” “They didn’t accomplish anything, and while many Palestinians are proud of them, if my daughter wanted to do such a thing, I would feel like she wasted her life,” Maaly said.

USA TODAY Network The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is reporting sightings of the “kissing bug” in several states, including the Carolinas, Georgia and Texas. But don’t pucker up — this insect’s love bite could be deadly. Typically found in the southern USA, Mexico, Central America and South America, the kissing bug — properly named a triatomine bug — can carry a parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi, that causes Chagas disease. Chagas is one of a handful of parasitic diseases the CDC is targeting for public health efforts in the USA. It’s not a disease confined only to the poor, rural or underdeveloped areas in which it thrives. The CDC estimates that about 300,000 people in the USA live with the disease. Most of them acquired the disease in countries where the disease is common. Named for the Brazilian physician Carlos Chagas, who discovered the disease in 1909, it kills silently and slowly.

The bloodsucking triatomine bug can harbor a parasite that causes Chagas disease, which can kill quickly. Symptoms often include pain in the stomach or swelling where the person has been bitten. It can cause death suddenly, Anil Mangla, assistant director for the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District, told KENS-TV. Mangla noted that Chagas is a disease that lodges itself in tissue and muscle. A person can go as long as 20 years before Chagas takes its toll, because it can lead to heart disease. The CDC says it’s not easy for a kissing bug to pass Chagas disease to humans. A person can get Chagas from a kissing bug only if the insect’s feces get closed by its board of university alumni following a rowdy party, The Boston Globe reported.

TOYOTA CEO LENTZ TALKS TRUCKS, SUVS AND CARS The auto sector has been one of the shining lights of the economy throughout this recovery. In fact, we are witnessing a bit of a revolution for cars and trucks, given new technology, rock-bottom gasoline prices and a new focus on quality. I caught up with industry leader Jim Lentz, Toyota’s CEO of the Americas, to find out how sustainable the good times are and what our cars will look like in the future. Our interview follows, edited for clarity and length.

HASBRO BEATS MATTEL WITH STOCK FORECASTERS In the battle for holiday toy spending, the empire has the upper hand. At least that’s the view in the stock market. Before Black Friday, short interest on Mattel hovered near an all-time high, reflecting skepticism the toymaker will deliver this holiday season. After surging all year, bearish bets as a percentage of shares outstanding sat at about 21% for the El Segundo, Calif.-based manufacturer, just below a record of almost 22% in October, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and Markit. In comparison, investors are sanguine on Mattel’s biggest publicly traded competitor: Hasbro, which has a licensing agreement to sell merchandise related to the release of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” on Dec. 18.

Maria Bartiromo

@mariabartiromo Special for USA TODAY

ONE ON ONE

Can you characterize what you’re seeing right now in the auto business?

A: The industry is tracking about 17.4 million (units sold). To me, what’s most interesting about that is the passenger car industry is actually down a bit from last year, and all this growth is in the light truck side of the business. It will be up over a million units, and we’ve seen a lot of strength on the pickup side of the market. The big moves are still on the sport-utility side.

Q A: In the case of pickup trucks, it’s the perfect storm for Why?

growth. After the recession, you saw a big drop in housing, an aging of the pickup truck fleet. The average pickup truck is over 12 years old today. So as we’ve seen housing come back, you saw this big move towards pickup trucks. You also have gasoline dropping. I’m living in Texas, and I paid $1.87 a gallon this weekend for gasoline. So you’ve got low fuel prices, you’ve got an older fleet, you’ve got increase in housing. You have a lot of manufacturers that have introduced new trucks in the last couple years. Almost everyone in the full-size and the small truck arena has introduced a new truck. So it’s the perfect storm for people to really be pushing that pickup truck market.

COOPER NEILL, GETTY IMAGES FOR TOYOTA

So when gasoline is cheaper, people don’t care about spending too much on their tanks in bigger trucks?

A: I think that’s true. The interesting one is on the sport-utility side. Because you have small sport utilities that are now the No. 1 volume segment in the industry. That’s never happened before. It’s always been standard midsize cars. That segment’s up almost 20% year over year. People are moving from standard midsize passenger cars towards these small SUVs. And the small SUVs today are probably midsized than they’ve ever been in the past. They have the ride and comfort of a sedan. They’re as quiet as a sedan, the fuel efficiency of a sedan. And they’re transacting at about the same price point.

How does today’s vehicle look different as a result of technology?

A: It’s changing drastically. Power trains are changing while hybrids have been hurt a little bit by low fuel prices. You’re going to see more hybridization of cars. That’s more technology, more fuel cells. We’ve just launched our fuel cell. Our entire first year of production, all of ‘16 is already sold out. So you’re gonna see improvements through technology in the types of fuels, whether they be battery, battery electrics or even internal combustion gas. You’re going to see more and more telematics in cars. And you’re going to see the advancement of autonomous cars that I think we’re just seeing the beginning of that today from a number of different safety components that are now being integrated to kind of create what we’re calling autonomous cars.

“So imagine a vehicle that can react quicker, that can see better, can see distances better, it could see in fog, it could anticipate movement.”

An autonomous car can be one where if I want to take the wheel of the manual I could drive but I also could press a button and it will drive for me?

A: Yes, there are two really different schools of thought. One is what I would call the chauffeurdriven car where it’s a car that you literally would get into, you may or may not even have a steering wheel. And you would be taken from point A to point B. That’s not the direction that we believe is going to dominate. I think the bigger area is the cars that can actually enhance the driving skills of the driver and in time reduce serious and fatal accidents. if you look at the Boomer generation, cars have been a symbol of freedom for them since they turned 16 and got their driver’s license. Boomers are aging. They are still a large percentage of the population. And they still have a desire to drive much later into their years. So imagine a vehicle that can react quicker, that can see better, can see distances better, it could see in fog, it could anticipate movement MORE ONLINE CEO’S OUTLOOK

of pedestrians on the street. All of that will enhance the skillset of a driver. But the driver is still behind the wheel and in control of that vehicle. You’re also going to have the ability for vehicles to communicate with the infrastructure around them. Whether they’re traffic signals, whether they are other pedestrians, whether they’re other vehicles. So all of that is going to converge until someday we’ll probably be talking about accidents and especially fatal accidents being a thing of the past.

And when you’re talking about a driverless car, we know that a driverless car did not drink alcohol last night, was not just texting while it was driving and it knows everything that’s around them because there are sensors.

A: Yup. it will be interesting 15 years from now to look back at what cars can do, what they’re going to be powered by and compare them to today where we think cars are at the peak of technology. I think it’s just beginning.

So you’ve been investing both in autonomous as well as driverless.

A: Yes. Our view of autonomous is really not that chauffeur-driven concept. Ours is more of a concept of a co-pilot where the driver is always in control of the car and behind the wheel. Similar to what you would see on an aircraft where you have a co-pilot, the technology of an aircraft can enhance the skills of a pilot. But that pilot is still always in control of that aircraft.

Automakers look to cash in on Black Friday It’s being pitched as a chance to shop without mall crowds Chris Woodyard USA TODAY

Automakers hope shoppers will ditch the malls and head to car lots this Black Friday weekend. Black Friday is becoming as important to the auto industry as it is to retailing — and the result could cap a November sales bonanza that is predicted to be the highest since 2001. “Black Friday deals on vehicles have grown in popularity in recent years and should be a big contributor to this month’s sales results,” Tim Fleming, analyst for Kelley Blue Book, says in a statement. In fact, KBB predicts that the sales boost should propel November to the highest sales tally for the month since 2001, helped along by more discounting by automakers. For automakers, it is chance to chalk up some extra sales as the end of the year approaches. “This year, we have a lot of mo-

It’s called the “Friends and Neighbors” promotion. mentum, and we want to keep it going,” says Paul Beckett, director of sales operations for Buick and GMC. “It’s a natural retail play for us.” It’s also a chance to clear the lots of outgoing 2015 models, making way for the 2016 cars, Shoppers have more time to focus on buying a car over a long weekend, says Erich Merkle,

Ford’s sales analyst. It’s a less crowded shopping experience than what people find in department or mass-market stores. “There are a number of people who won’t go out to retailers on Black Friday because of the crowds,” he says. For automakers, “it’s a good time to connect with customers.” Buyers who wait may not be a

lot worse off. The deals will be about as good in December when car dealers will be under pressure to sell a few more cars to cash in on higher allotments and other incentives from automakers as the year comes to a close, says Eric Lyman, vice president of industry insights for TrueCar, a website for auto buyers. Most of the best Black Friday deals are from Detroit’s Big 3 automakers, Lyman says. GM is running a month-long Black Friday promotion, including up to 20% off on selected models. Fiat Chrysler offers cut-rate financing. Ford says buyers can get discounts similar to what the automaker offers its own employees. It’s called the “Friends and Neighbors” promotion. Lyman says buyers need to decide how the deals best fit their own needs. The deals may vary by city. Markets such as New York and Los Angeles, Beckett says, are more tilted toward leasing than buying — so there may be some sweet lease deals in those cities. He says GMC is promoting its Sierra full-size pickup while Buick is strong with crossovers such as the Enclave and Encore.

BIG 3 DEALS Detroit’s Big 3 automakers are taking full advantage of the Black Friday shopping phenomenon to try to lure in car buyers. Here’s how some of the offers stack up: u Ford is offering widespread discounts through its “Friends and Neighbors” pricing. Ford is offering “Black Friday Bonus cash” of $500 on the 2015 and 2016 Escape and Fusion and 2015 Edge and Focus. It’s not available on electrics or hybrids. uFiat Chrysler is offering zero percent financing for 75 months plus discounts up to $1,500 depending on the model. For instance, Ram is offering $500 in cash back on a 2015 Ram 1500 pickup, while Dodge has the same offer on the Charge sedan and Grand Caravan minivan. uGeneral Motors is offering a Black Friday promotion that offers up to 20% off the sticker price of select models. They include 20% off 2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Camaro and Malibu. GMC is offering 15% off Sierra pickups.

Website to focus on Arctic climate change Time seems right to tackle this topic in an immersive style Rem Rieder @remrieder USA TODAY

I guess Lara Setrakian was serious. Setrakian is the poet laureate of the deeply immersive, single-topic website perhaps best illustrated by her acclaimed Syria Deeply, which she launched three years ago. In March 2014, she told me that her second site would be Arctic Deeply, focusing on the melting polar ice caps and set to debut that summer. Then the Ebola crisis erupted, followed by the California drought, and they became the topics for Deeplies No. 2 and No. 3. Now, at last, Arctic Deeply will debut Dec. 8, and Setrakian says she is “extremely excited.” The venture is a partnership with the Centre for International Governance Innovation, a Canadian MEDIA

think-tank. “The Arctic has been a huge priority for us for quite a while,” says Setrakian, a former correspondent for ABC News and Bloomberg TV. The timing seems right: The United States chairs the Arctic Council, and the temperature in the Arctic is rising at twice the rate as in the rest of the world. The Deeplies are designed to address an all-too-familiar phenomenon in the news business. When a story explodes, there is saturation coverage. Then something else explodes, and the parade moves on, and the aftermath of Explosion No. 1 is too often ignored. That’s what inspired Setrakian, a former Middle East correspondent, to create Syria Deeply, which was widely applauded from the start. On its first day, Fast Company proclaimed, “SYRIA DEEPLY OUTSMARTS THE NEWS, REDEFINES CONFLICT COVERAGE.” Setrakian says there are many other subjects that have a “Syria problem.” Setrakian looks for topics that are “generally underreported and extremely consequential for our time.” Setrakian says the episodic approach “is how our industry is

You can’t cover everything at the same time.” That said, “there are people who want to know what happens on Day Four. We’re here to fill in the gaps.” Arctic Deeply will follow the model of its three predecessors. It will offer a mix of original content, links to top-flight coverage from other news outlets, news summaries, maps, op-eds, backgrounders, timelines, data visualization, you name it. All on the Arctic. Providing that original content will be Managing Editor Hannah

Hoag, who has written about climate change for a variety of publications for more than a decade. Setrakian describes Hoag’s role as “hyperactive beat reporter.” For Hoag, the mission is personal. She has visited the Arctic, and she has witnessed the impact of climate change on the population, the rising sea levels and “villages falling into the ocean.” “I’ve seen the changes firsthand,” Hoag says. Though she will be based in Toronto, Hoag plans to make fre-

quent trips to the Arctic. Hoag says she was attracted to Arctic Deeply because “it checked a lot of boxes for me.” She sees the new gig as an opportunity to take her climate change reporting to a, yes, deeper level. “I want to talk to the people affected by climate change,” Hoag says. “It’s a chance to focus on a niche issue that’s really important now and in the future.“ Setrakian says that, three years in, she’s more convinced than ever that her approach works. “We have fantastic engagement metrics,” she says. “There has been a lot of validation of the single-topic model.” Though News Deeply has gotten some grants, it supports itself in part by building platforms for other companies. It has eight full-time employees devoted to all of the sites, including copy editors and digital staffers, and eight for specific projects. Though traffic spikes at times of crisis, Setrakian says, the sites maintain a devoted cadre of regular visitors. “For the diehards, there is a home,” she says. Should we look for more Deeplies in the future? Setrakian says, “Refugees Deeply is definitely on the agenda.”

Now we’re 110 employees in London, Ontario, and about 30 others who help us internationally on contract. We’re second to BuzzFeed in online entertainment now.

While seeking a loan from his father to launch a website, Taylor Ablitt told him he hoped the startup would become one of Canada’s 1,500 most popular sites. Two years later, Diply.com is the 68th most-popular site in the world, according to Web analytics firm Alexa as of Nov. 24. The news/entertainment site — it looks a lot like a cousin of BuzzFeed— gets more traffic than Craigslist, CNN, ESPN.GO.com and NYTimes.com. In the past 30 days, it had about 108 million users and 742 million page views, according to Google Analytics. “We’ve been able to pay him back,” says Ablitt, co-founder and CEO of Diply and its parent company, GoViral. “It’s probably the best investment (my father) made.” Not surprisingly, the traffic was built largely on the usual melange of stories that are meant to be viral, shareable and not so taxing on brain cells — listicles, clickbait, household tips and user-generated content that allows Diply to go light on editorial staffing. Some typical headlines include “12 Hotline Bling Nails Because YOLO,” “Doctors Hid This Baby So Nobody Could See THIS Face” and “A Boy Found A Blind Deer In His Neighborhood. What He Does For It Has My Heart Bursting!” Its enviable traffic numbers — and profit — produced in such a short period illustrate the direction of ad dollars and the topsyturvy nature of the online media business that can quickly reward Johnny-come-latelies without an editorial tradition or a large content team. In an interview with USA TODAY, Ablitt, whose company is based in London, Ontario, acknowledged the fleeting nature of much of the site’s content. Like the site Diply is often compared to, BuzzFeed, it plans on a next phase that entails hiring more editorial staffers and generating more “value-added” content, he said.

What were the competitive advantages did you think you could bring as you started?And how were you able to drive your traffic so quickly?

DIPLY

Diply, which publishes viral stories, is one of the most popular websites in terms of online traffic. for clarity and length.

Q A: We have three founding partners. We originally started in How did you get started?

early 2013. My business partner (Dean Elkholy) was in school. I was out as an accountant. We were always brainstorming about the next big thing. (Elkholy) approached me about this opportunity about going online and leveraging social media to get eyeballs on content. He had spent a ton of time on social media. We failed pretty miserably for the first five or six months. It wasn’t until we met our other partner, Gary Manning, that we knew how to implement a platform that can support our ideas.

When did you know that you had a sustainable business?

A: In November 2013, we launched Diply. We’re not a typical start-up. We got no outside money, and to this date, we still haven’t received any outside funding. It’s something I’m very proud

A: Publications aren’t able to bring enough content for people to consume on a daily basis. People are spending so much time on social media. We thought we can take advantage of this. A lot of traditional platforms hadn’t leveraged social media with their fans. That was kind of our opening. If you are able to pick up content and be there first, your distribution opportunities are greater. The average Facebook user has 300 friends. If you can make that content memorable or shareable, that’s where you get that viral effect.

Can you provide a breakdown of your revenue sources?

A: Ninety-five percent is display (ads). Of that, 30% is programmatic (ads sold automatically through digital exchanges and trading desks).

You’ve operated with a relatively low profile. Was that by design?

A: Part of it is that we didn’t want a target on our back. We were onto something a lot of people weren’t. A lot of big media companies really don’t understand how to engage users from the social media perspective. Over 80% of our traffic comes from social media. When you’re so bootstrap, you kind of fear everything. You’re competing with BuzzFeed that has a $1.5 billion valuation. It’s a bit of a crazy world in tech.

Hired to help detect misconduct, Yue Han allegedly used confidential information for his own gain

A former Goldman Sachs employee stole confidential information from the Wall Street powerhouse’s email system and used it to generate more than $460,000 in illicit insider-trading profits, the Securities and Exchange Commission said Wednesday. Yue Han, 30, who also uses the name John Hahn, started work at Goldman Sachs in late 2014 in a group assigned to improve the company’s ability to identify insider-trading and other misconduct by conducting surveillance of employee emails, the SEC said. Instead, Han allegedly used his access to emails of Goldman investment banking employees to review and trade on secret information about pending mergers and acquisitions in which his employer represented one of the firms involved. “We allege that Han’s employer gave him access to confidential information so that he could help the firm detect and deter illegal activity, but he betrayed that trust by using MARK LENNIHAN, AP the informa“If the allegations are true, tion for his profit,” (Yue) Han violated our trust,” own said Joseph Goldman Sachs said. Sansone, of the SEC’s Market Abuse Unit. The SEC obtained a court order that froze Han’s assets and blocked him from using or transferring the alleged ill-gotten gains, Sansone said. “If the allegations are true, Han violated our trust and ignored extensive training that he received so we are pleased that the authorities are pursuing action against him,” Goldman said in a statement. Han could not be reached for comment. According to the SEC’s federal court complaint, Han violated Goldman’s personal trading policies by opening a trading account at another financial company and failing to disclose it to his superiors. He also opened an undisclosed account in the name of a relative, the complaint charged. Using those trading accounts, Han allegedly bought “out of the money” call options — a financial bet that stock prices would increase — for at least four companies that were on the verge of being acquired. The companies included Yodlee, a software technology firm in California; Zulily, a Seattle-based online retailer; Rentrak, a media-research company in Portland; and KLA-Tencor, a semiconductor equipment manufacturer in California.

This is the first year that I’ve been incensed to a level that I can’t sleep.

How Redmayne found his inner ‘Danish Girl’ Oscar winner, 33, researched role for three years Andrea Mandell @AndreaMandell USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES An early peek at Eddie Redmayne as Lili Elbe, in a red wig and makeup, went viral. But that image is a mere shadow of the transgender woman — “a pioneer,” Redmayne says — at the heart of The Danish Girl, the drama he was shooting when he won his best actor Oscar for The Theory of Everything. Seven months before cameras started rolling, “we went through different wigs, different makeup. And at the end, I was like, ‘Let’s just take everything off, I’m just going to photograph you as yourself,’ ” says director Tom Hooper. “It was just his own hair, minimal makeup, he was just wearing a slip. And he looked beautiful. Suddenly, there was a confidence there that I hadn’t seen all day. ... Suddenly, I saw Lili.” The Danish Girl (opens Friday in New York and Los Angeles, expands nationwide through December) begins in 1926, in the home of a real-life Danish couple. Lili lived as Einar Wegener, married to Gerda (Alicia Vikander). Both were painters. One day, Gerda asked her husband to sit in for her female subject — a fun game, she thought. But the session triggered a longing. Einar began to dress as Lili

Eddie Redmayne says he was struck by Lili Elbe’s bravery.

and ultimately became the first person to have gender confirmation surgery. “There was no vocabulary, no context, no trans community. She knew she was born in a different gender to that which she had been assigned,” Redmayne says. “And the bravery — the stakes were so high that it was either death or getting to be herself.” To prepare, the 33-year-old actor spent three years absorbing “the most extraordinary education”: meeting transgender women and hearing their stories; learning fundamentals, including that gender and sexuality are separate; and talking to his Jupiter

Ascending director, Lana Wachowski, who is transgender. Research allowed Redmayne to find the character of Lili, not Einar, first. “Things became absolutely clear. It was about finding out who Lili was and then working back to who she was when she was living as Einar,” he says. The Danish Girl, based upon the 2000 novel of the same name by David Ebershoff, arrives on the heels of a new public dialogue, thanks to TV’s Transparent and the evolution of Caitlyn Jenner. “We couldn’t ever imagine we’d be releasing it in this kind of climate,” says screenwriter Lucinda Coxon, who says she had never come across a love story like the one beating inside The Danish Girl. “It’s in some ways a very mainstream period romance with a pretty big twist.” Redmayne, too, marvels at the love story. “One hopes the film continues the dialogue (around transgenderism),” he says. “But the thing that was so profound and moving when I read it, it was also an investigation into love.”

Fireplace can warm a home in more ways than one Linda a. ditch

Hometown Lawrence

Few things take the chill off a winter evening than the warmth and ambiance of a crackling fire. If you have a working woodburning fireplace, there are steps you need to take to ensure it will continue to provide warmth to your home. First, have it inspected and cleaned by a professional at least once a year. Also, make sure your chimney cap is in good shape so it can keep rain and small animals from getting inside. Then, when picking wood to burn, choose hardwoods like maple, oak, ash and birch, which burn both hot and long with less creosote buildup. Perhaps the most important step is to keep an eye on the inside of your chimney for

creosote and soot buildup. Creosote is the dark matter that is a fire hazard and needs to be cleaned up with a creosote remover or by a professional. Soot is also flammable and should be cleaned out regularly. If your home doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a fireplace, or it has one that is no-longer safe to use, there are alternatives. Vented and vent-free gas fireplaces, as well as electric versions, can give a room the wood-burning ambiance of a standard fireplace where one doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist. The benefits to an alternative fireplace include no need to haul wood and no messy clean-up of ashes, soot, and creosote. Also, unlike a woodburning fireplace that must be watched until it cools down, these

fireplaces are turned off with a switch. Just close the doors and go to bed. Vented gas fireplaces, also called direct vent, are the most popular. They can be inserted into an existing fireplace or in a factorybuilt fireplace box. They look the most natural and cost the least to install, with the vent going up an existing chimney or piped out of the side of the building. Vent-free fireplaces are designed to heat a room. No vent is required because they have a hot flame that burns almost all of the fuel, which results in less carbon monoxide and soot. These gas logs can be installed inside an existing fireplace or in a special firebox made to look like one. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to keep a window

A fireplace can add ambiance to the living area of a home.

slightly opened when in use to allow fresh air inside, never leave the unit burning unattended, and make sure your carbon monoxide detectors are in good working order. Electric fireplaces can go anywhere. They are designed more for ambiance than for producing heat, though some units can heat

the immediate surrounding area. Some are designed to be installed inside an existing fireplace, while others come inside a cabinet built to look like a fireplace, complete with a mantel. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Linda A.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Snyder’s brilliance evident early As college announcing tandems go, Gary Bender and Dick Vermeil were tough to beat. When Bender looks back on those days with ABC, his mind often drifts to a moment that with the benefit of history would reveal Vermeil as a prophet. The announcers had flown in early to do their preparation, part of which was meeting with Iowa’s offensive coordinator in 1988. Bender remembers that after he and Vermeil had finished, shut the door and were walking down the hall, the ex-and-future NFL coach turned to him and said something close to, “That man has as good an offensive mind as any coach I’ve ever met.” That man was Bill Snyder, a year shy of beginning a college football turnaround that stands second to none. More than a quarter-century later, isn’t that really what sets Snyder apart, an ability to arrange 11 young men in such a way as to put bigger, faster athletes somehow at a disadvantage? Isn’t his offensive genius really the key? “You know, that’s a great question, because there is so much about him that has been so successful in this game,” first-year Kansas coach David Beaty said. “That is absolutely unparalleled. There is no doubt about that. There has always been offensive production under him.” Beaty stopped short of saying Snyder’s offensive mind is his greatest advantage. “I think the thing that doesn’t get talked about enough is how smart that football team is,” Beaty said. “You very rarely see those guys beat themselves. You’ve got to beat K-State when you play ’em because of Bill Snyder and his philosophy that he has adopted there. They are a very disciplined unit. “He is just an attentionto-detail guy, and all of us are still — all of us coaches in this country — are still learning from our predecessors, and he is certainly one of finest examples in all of college football.” Snyder, 76, knows how to keep secrets, including the hidden keys to his success. When an offensive mind as innovative as Vermeil’s identifies Snyder as an offensive genius so early, I can’t help but think the K-State coach’s offensive vision remains his greatest strength. The keys to Snyder’s greatness can be debated, but the extent of it is unquestioned. “I’ve it said before,” Beaty said, before saying it again, “That job he’s done there, I don’t know how you can say there has been a better job done. I just don’t know how. ... He’s one of the best coaches that’s ever coached this game.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S CHEICK DIALLO, LEFT, GIVES A PLAYFUL SHOVE to teammate Wayne Selden Jr. before tipoff against Chaminade on Monday in Lahaina, Hawaii.

Jayhawks excited about Diallo’s debut By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Lahaina, Hawaii — Reflections from Hawaii and the just-completed Maui Invitational ... Perhaps the only thing that might have made the Maui

Invitational title sweeter for Kansas University coach Bill Self would have been Cheick Diallo actually playing and contributing during victories over Chaminade (123-72), UCLA (92-73) and Vanderbilt (70-63). “Going into the weekend,

we thought we would have him all three games based on information presented. We leave here at least moving forward knowing we’ve got him and will be in good shape in that regard,” Self said. Self went out of his way to thank KU administrators

for working on the initialeligibility case and spending in the neighborhood of $100,000 in trying to gain Diallo’s eligibility. KU’s hiring of two independent groups to study Diallo’s core courses Please see HOOPS, page 3C

Firebirds ready for winter action By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Thanksgiving has passed, and for the athletes at Free State High, that means the winter sports seasons are set to begin. Here is a look at what all of the Firebirds’ programs expect out of the upcoming season:

Seniors give KU football a foundation By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

During the middle of a long, challenging season, well before the Kansas University football team’s winless streak reached 11 games, the coaches needed to have a talk with their seniors. It had become clear to ev— Tom Keegan appears on eryone in the room just how “The Drive,” Sunday nights on difficult it might be to get as WIBW-TV. much as a victory this fall.

And, as offensive coordinator Rob Likens describes it, the coaches wanted to make sure the Jayhawks who wouldn’t get to reap the future rewards of this year’s hard work didn’t “let go of the rope.” David Beaty’s first-year staff presented KU’s seniors with a challenge. Likens said it went something like this: “OK, guys. You know you’re not going to go to a bowl.

What’s gonna be your deal? Are you gonna be guys that quit or guys that are known as a team that did not let go?” In unison, the seniors rose and said they would not “let go of the rope.” Headed into Saturday’s season finale against rival Kansas State at Memorial Stadium (3 p.m., FOX Sports 1), the Jayhawks (0-11 overall, 0-8 Big 12) and their se-

niors have yet to turn that commitment into a win. For a fifth-year senior such as defensive end Ben Goodman, the ongoing dim state of the program dictated he play for three different head coaches — Turner Gill, Charlie Weis and Beaty — before his numbered days at KU are through.

Jones takes lead in Australia Sydney — Matt Jones used home-course advantage to shoot a 4-under 68 today and take the early clubhouse lead during the second round of the Australian Open. Jones, who is a member at The Australian Golf Club, had a 36-hole total of 7-under 135 on a course that was playing easier after Thursday’s brutal wind and heat when only 18 players broke par. Adam Scott, who like defending champion Jordan Spieth opened with a 71, failed to take advantage of the easier conditions, shooting 73 to move further down the leaderboard. Scott is likely to be just inside the cut line. Spieth, who had an afternoon start Friday, moved among the leaders with three birdies in his first seven holes. Nicolas Colsaerts had the best round of the early groups, shooting 66. The top-ranked Spieth birdied his opening hole and bogeyed his last to go along with birdies on a pair of par 5s and bogeys on two par 3s in the first round.

Schwartzel 2nd at Dunhill event Malelane, South Africa — South Africa’s Christiaan Basson shot an 8-under 64 to top the Alfred Dunhill Championship leaderboard when play was suspended because of lightning. South African star Charl Schwartzel was tied for second, three strokes behind Basson, with one hole left at Leopard Creek. Schwartzel won in 2005, 2012 and 2013. Zimbawe’s Mark Williams and England’s Matt Ford shot 67. The tournament opens the European Tour’s 2015-16 season.

BASEBALL

Ex-MLB outfielder Nixon arrested Atlanta — Jail records show that former Major League Baseball outfielder Otis Nixon was arrested on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and permitting an unlicensed person to drive. Atlanta police spokesman Officer Kim Jones says 56-yearold Nixon was arrested Tuesday night. Nixon was released from the Fulton County jail Wednesday after posting a $2,500 bond. Nixon was arrested on drug charges in 2013 following a traffic stop in suburban Atlanta. An officer found a pipe for smoking crack cocaine in Nixon’s pants pocket and found suspected crack rock in the driver’s seat. The speedy Nixon collected more than 600 stolen bases in 17 seasons from 1983-99. He played for several teams, including the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians and Montreal Expos.

HIGH SCHOOLS HUB:

do anything to stop Warren, who scored on runs of 91, 23, 21 and 8 yards. The 91-yarder in the second quarter was the fourth longest in Texas school history. Warren kept pounding and slicing through one of the worst rush defenses in the country to keep Texas in the game. His final touchdown gave Texas a final chance, but Texas Tech recovered an onside kick with two minutes left and picked up a key first down on a run by Mahomes that allowed the Red Raiders to run out the clock. Warren had only 18 carries on the season coming in and got the start because of injuries to D’Onta Foreman and Johnathan Gray. The Longhorns got another blow when Heard left the game because of concerns about a possible concussion. He took several hard hits early and finally left after a sack when he was tackled around the legs and his head appeared to bounce off the ground. For Texas Tech, it was another game of scoring in bunches and hoping to hang on. The Red Raiders defense has given up at least 40 points six times

this season and was wearing down under the pounding from Warren and Swoopes. Mahomes’ big pass to Grant to set up Stockton’s touchdown finally gave the Red Raiders the room they needed late, before Grant finally punched in the final touchdown.

Tech slips past Texas Austin, Texas (ap) — DeAndre Washington ran for 173 yards and two touchdowns, and Texas Tech overcame a breakout performance from Texas freshman tailback Chris Warren III as the Red Raiders beat the Longhorns, 48-45, on Thursday night for their first road win in the rivalry since 1997. Warren set a Texas freshman record with 268 yards rushing and scored four touchdowns as Texas rallied from 10 points down in the third quarter to take the lead. Texas Tech then had fourth-quarter touchdown runs by Justin Stockton and Jakeem Grant. Texas Tech (7-5, 4-5 Big 12) rolled up 665 total yards. The teams combined for nine touchdowns in the second half. Texas quarterback Tyrone Swoopes, who came on for injured started Jerrod Heard in the second quarter, ran for 98 yards and two touchdowns. The loss sent Texas (4-7, 3-5) to its second consecutive losing season under second-year coach Charlie Strong. Even with Mahomes and Washington moving the ball, Texas Tech’s defense couldn’t

NFL ROUNDUP

Panthers reach 11-0

Cheick. They were happy for him.” n Self said it was nice to win in Maui after the Jayhawks’ previous two trips to paradise in the Self era. “It’s a great win,” he said. “We finished second last time (2011) and also seventh the time before that (2005). It’s the best preseason tournament. To be able to beat UCLA and play as well as we did in the semifinals and beat what I think will be one of the best teams in the SEC and top-15 team year round ... it was a great team win, especially when we didn’t play very well (hitting 45.5 percent vs. Vandy and making 12 of 22 free throws).” n The Jayhawks have bounced back nicely from their 79-73 loss to Michigan State. “The Michigan State game, we didn’t close

the game,” he said. “We didn’t play tough down the stretch. We’ve been better since that game. Hopefully we used the game as a teaching tool to make us a better team.” n KU’s basketball fans traveled in droves to Maui, accounting for quite a home-court advantage in three tourney games in 2,400-seat Lahaina Civic Center. “We had to have close to 2,000 people, I’d think,” Self said. “We had the whole building Monday (for Chaminade game). How in the world our fans got tickets ... they are pretty creative. I know the respective schools don’t get that many. It’s 5-to-1 or 4-to-1 from a crowd standpoint. There are few schools out there that travel really well, and we are certainly one of them.”

Football

In the beginning phases of the program’s massive overhaul, being a senior doesn’t even mean you’ll play a lot of snaps. Goodman, center Keyon Haughton, wide receiver Tre’ Parmalee, running backs Taylor Cox and De’Andre Mann and nose tackle Corey King are the only seniors listed on the first string of KU’s depth chart against K-State (46, 1-6). Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said the seniors have been through a lot, and not just this season. “Their college careers have been different than the norm, and they’ve fought through it the whole time,” Bowen said, “and still to this day continue to try and rally the

young kids and try to let them know what it means to build a foundation for a program.” Likens applauded the way all of KU’s senior offensive players approached their final weeks. But senior right tackle Larry Mazyck, beat out for his starting job by freshman Larry Hughes earlier this season, stands out as someone who still speaks up and helps out. “To have a senior to have not played as much as he thought he was gonna play,” Likens shared, “and for him to step up in a leadership role, to me that’s remarkable. And it says a lot about what coach Beaty has done here in the culture that these players talk about how they wish they could

be here more years and play, even after going 0 and 11 or whatever it is.” Goodman, a captain who will never play in a bowl game for Kansas, said a brotherly environment — which didn’t exist before — now characterizes the KU program, noting players are really close with their coaches. The 6-foot-3 senior from Beaumont, Texas, set to start the 36th and final game of his career, isn’t too upset he won’t be around to play for more successful KU teams. “But I’m glad I’m part of the foundation for it,” Goodman added. “I’ll always be a part of it, and coach Beaty said he’ll never let this senior class be forgotten. And I trust him on that.”

Firebirds

last year, finishing with a 17-5 record after a fourpoint loss in the sub-state finals. A few seniors have graduated, but the Firebirds have a strong core led by junior Madison Piper, who averaged 17 points per game on her way to Sunflower League Player of the Year honors last year. They’ll also have senior guard Hannah Walter, junior Jaycie Bishop and sophomore Cameryn Thomas. The Firebirds are hoping for big contributions this season from seniors Peyton Brown and Caitlin Schlesener. Brown missed most of last season because of a leg injury. With a strong set of guards, 14th-year coach Bryan Duncan said the Firebirds will have a “faster style of play” this season. FSHS will start the year on the road against Topeka at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 4.

birds finished runner-up last year and return plenty of firepower. The Firebirds, who placed third at state last season, will be led by junior Jordan Portela. He won state titles in the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly and helped the Firebirds to a state-meet record in the 400 freestyle relay. Free State also returns seniors Ethan Kallenberger, Brandon Bunting and Brett Carey, juniors Portela, Evan Yoder, Syd Lin and Matthew Wilkus, sophomore Evan Eskilson, and divers Chad Bourdon, Skylar Eklund and Eli Garcia. “It’s very exciting,” coach Annette McDonald said. “Young talent. Returning talent. I’m really excited.” Free State begins at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday with a home quadrangular.

qualify for state last season, the most he has had during his seven years at the school. Ten of those 11 wrestlers are back this season, highlighted by sophomore Tate Steele, who took third place at state and earned Sunflower League Wrestler of the Year honors with a 36-2 record. The Firebirds will also bring back Cameron Shanks, Isaiah Jacobs, Sid Miller, Ben Hill, James Wensel, Wyatt Stevens, Sky Carey, Nick Eddis and Luke Winchester. Add in transfer Bennett King and senior Sam Skwarlo, who missed all of last season due to a foot injury but took fourth at state in 2014, and the Firebirds hope for a special season. “Sam is the kind of kid that shows a tremendous amount of leadership with his actions in the room at each tournament,” Gillman said. “He never has excuses and always wants to get better every second.” The Firebirds will start in a double dual against Olathe East and Bishop Miege on at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Bishop Miege.

and provide that information to the NCAA proved pivotal. The NCAA had originally deemed Diallo several courses short. “I’m appreciative of everybody who fought for him,” Self said. “If our administration had not fought it would have been a tragedy, not for us but the kid. He would not have been able to participate in college athletics. “I think there are a lot of places that would not have fought, not because they wouldn’t want to. They may not have the financial means to,” Self added. “You are talking $100,000 on representation of something that obviously could have been handled in one

Fortunately for us, we never thought it (keeping Diallo sidelined) was right.

KU WOMEN’S HOOPS AT A GLANCE

When: 7:30 p.m. today Where: Moody Coliseum, Dallas Who: Northern Illinois Series: First meeting SMU Thanksgiving Classic: The Kansas University women’s basketball team and first-year coach Brandon Schneider are spending their holiday weekend at a two-day mini-tournament hosted by SMU. KU opens against Northern Illinois, out of the Mid America Conference, and will face either SMU or Cal State-Fullerton on Saturday afternoon, depending on which teams win tonight’s games. Road trip: Coming off their first loss of the season, Monday at Arizona, the Jayhawks have some

early tests away from Allen Fieldhouse this week. Before KU left for its threegame excursion, Schneider said the first road trip of the year can be great for team bonding. “I love it, because I get to still be part of the team, even though I’m the coach,” Schneider said. “I like to travel. I like kind of being hunkered down in the hotel room. But it’s also a chance to really talk to our team about these trips. They’re business trips, not vacations. We’ll try to have some fun, obviously, but there’s some times when we’ve really got to lock in and focus and make sure we’re as prepared and focused as we need to be.” Streaking: Through

three games this season, junior KU forward Caelynn Manning-Allen is making 59.1 percent of her shot attempts and scoring 9.3 points per game. She set a career high with 12 points against Texas Southern, and also tied a personal best with four blocks in the season opener. Slumping: Freshman guard Kylee Kopatich looks to bounce back from a tough outing in her first career road game. Kopatich, a starter, shot 1-for-12 from the floor and 1-for-8 from three-point range at Arizona. Schneider has a lot of confidence in the first-year guard, though, and while one off game has her shooting 22.2 percent on three-pointers, Kopatich is averaging 9.7

Baylor-TCU football rivalry intensifies Fort Worth, Texas (ap) — Both No. 7 Baylor and No. 15 TCU are banged up, with injuries to key players and coming off recent losses that kept their much-anticipated rematch from being the de facto Big 12 championship game many had expected. This is still a rivalry between the Big 12’s only private schools that has intensified with both teams succeeding at the same time. They were cochampions last season. Purple paint was splattered on the statue of Robert Griffin III, Baylor’s Heisman Trophy winner, and 61-58 scrawled in green paint on a brick wall at the TCU campus, reflecting the score of the Bears victory last season. “They’ve always not

liked us very much, and that goes way, way back to when the Southwest Conference split up,” Baylor senior left tackle Spencer Drango said. “There’s a whole list of stuff that I don’t know about. But for us it will be a fun game. It is a big rivalry and a lot of fun.” Baylor (9-1, 6-1 Big 12), which will be starting third-string quarterback Chris Johnson, can stay in contention for a third consecutive conference title with a victory tonight. TCU (9-2, 6-2) has a 12-game home winning streak since another three-point loss to Baylor in 2013. The Frogs can get to 10 wins for the 10th time in the past 14 seasons under coach Gary Patterson.

The Frogs will be without star receiver Josh Doctson and four-year starting senior center Joey Hunt for their regular-season finale. Both missed Saturday night’s 30-29 loss at Oklahoma, as did Trevone Boykin, though the senior dualthreat quarterback — who was at one time a Heisman Trophy frontrunner — could play against Baylor after hobbling around on a sore right ankle. “He’s the one guy that you have to really appreciate,” Patterson said of Boykin. “So many people early in his career talked so badly about him about how he couldn’t do this or couldn’t do that. To see him change it around and do all the things he’s been able to do and how

he handles everything on and off the field, not just on the field, that’s the thing that’s been fun for me to watch.” Some things to know about the most-played series for the schools separate by about 90 miles. Baylor holds a slim 52-517 advantage: To win the Big 12: For Baylor to claim a third consecutive conference title, it has to win its last two games (against TCU, then Dec. 5 at home against Texas), and No. 9 Oklahoma State has to win Bedlam at home against No. 5 Oklahoma on Saturday night. The Bears are coming off a win at previously undefeated Oklahoma State, a week after they lost at home to the Sooners. Quick scores: TCU

has scored a first-quarter touchdown in 24 consecutive games, a Big 12 record. Baylor is the only team in the nation to score on its first drive in every game this season — and all of those have been touchdowns. Fluke photo: Baylor’s 2015 team photo taken before the season has senior offensive lineman Jarell Broxton (No. 61) and Drango (No. 58) side by side. School officials insisted then that it was a “weird coincidence” and not meant to show the TCU score. TCU fans have never bought that explanation. “They can keep whining because we’re just going to go out there and show them that we are the better team,” Boxton said this week. Long way from LT: Se-

nior running back Aaron Green has 1,100 yards rushing, and with eight more will have the most yards for a TCU running back since LaDainian Tomlinson led the nation with 2,158 yards in 2000. Robert Merrill had 1,107 yards in 2003. Wet weather: It was already raining Thursday, and wet weather was forecast through Saturday. Plus, temperatures are expected to drop during the day Thursday and feel like the 30s by kickoff. There is a natural turf at Amon G. Carter Stadium, but an improved drainage system was included when a new grass surface was installed two years ago. But it could get messy since that turf was being painted earlier this week.

Today’s breed of announcers a bit boring By Chris Erskine Los Angeles Times

Spoke to Brent Musburger the other day, after realizing I hadn’t heard his voice all season. ESPN, in one of its oddest decisions, has relegated him to Southeastern Conference games, which is why we seldom see him anymore. “You’ll just have to subscribe to the SEC Network,” he says. That’s Musburger, all right: Still crazy after all these years. The SEC remains a plum assignment, though sentencing Musburger to what essentially is a regional telecast is like booking Placido Domingo to sing in Mar-

riott lounges. It’s good for Marriott, but not for opera overall. Fine by him, Musburger insists. But not by me. That he won’t be working one of the two New Year’s Eve college football playoffs is insane. I can’t help but note that sports’ signature voices are disappearing faster than white rhinos. Keith Jackson has retired. Next up Vin Scully and Dick Enberg. With every retirement toast, sports journalism gets a little more earnest and freshfaced. And about as soulful and satisfying as a cup of microwave soup. “You are looking live at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California,” Musburger would crow, and

We seem to want to make you’d know in an instant something mythic of this you were in for a feast. sport, when it’s far more When Jackson retired, than that.

cal achievements and amazing camera work, I’m struck by how dry and unmoving most of today’s announcers are. “The biz and the industry have changed,” explains Musburger, now 76. Because of the conference TV deals, he says, telecasts are playing to more of a niche audience that has a lot of background to begin with. “And a lot of the (great) storytellers were baseball guys — Scully and Jack Buck,” he says. “They came up through the game, and had to learn to keep things entertaining. But football works at a different pace, especially these days. You don’t have the time.”

I complain to him about Fox’s World Series announcers, who focused on pitch counts and slugging percentages while ignoring the grace and spirit of the sport. He agreed, saying, “I thought there was a lot of clutter.” “I’m a people guy, that’s my background,” he says of his preference for more biography and less statistical goo. should’ve called the first college playoff final last season, but was replaced by ESPN’s Chris Fowler, wholly likable but lacking in personality and panache. Too much of those things can be a distraction. Too little, we’re finding, is far worse.
