Colyer: Refugees want support at home Lt. gov., Ben Carson aid Syrians in Jordan

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Kansas Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer spent another Thanksgiving holiday treating victims of the Syrian civil war at two refugee camps along

the Jordanian border. This year, however, another high-profile physician accompanied him on the trip: Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson.

And both men returned from the trip with a message about how they think the U.S. should respond to the refugee crisis in the region: Send more refugee

aid to Jordan and other countries in the region rather than bringing Syrian refugees to the United States. Please see REFUGEES, page 2A Colyer

COAT DRIVE WARMS UP

KU VOLLEYBALL ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH LAURA KUHN sorts through a pile of coats Monday while volunteering at the I-70 Business Center for the annual Share the Warmth coat drive, sponsored by The Salvation Army of Douglas County and Scotch Fabric Care Services. Coats will be available at Suite 104 of the center, 1035 N. Third St., on Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m., and on Friday from 9 a.m. to noon.

Salvation Army, Scotch Fabric distribution starts Thursday By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

ore than 2,000 people will be warmer this winter thanks to the Share the Warmth coat drive sponsored by The Salvation Army of Douglas County and Scotch Fabric Care Services. The Salvation Army this year has collected more than 2,800 items — coats, hats, mittens and blankets — for people in need, and employees at Scotch Fabric have spent hours cleaning them. “It’s a lot of extra hours for the few of us who stay,” said Thomas Shmalberg, a

vice president of Scotch Fabric. Shmalberg said his grandfather began the practice of cleaning the coats 29 years ago, and this is his sixth year handling the project. “The good feeling you get from this when people get the coats is unbelievable,” Shmalberg said. Coats will be available at the I-70 Business Center, 1035 N. Third St., Suite 104, on Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m., and on Friday from 9 a.m. to noon, said Lt. Marisa McCluer of The Salvation Army. The only requirement for a free coat is that you are a Douglas County resident.

There are heavy coats, long coats, light coats, adult and kids coats, baby coats — and in a variety of colors and fabrics, McCluer said. The number of coats collected this year is up in part because of the help of Hilltop Children’s Center, McCluer said. In addition, the recent cold snap has put people in a winter mindset. “I think we had a last-minute rally when it got cold outside,” McCluer said. “People thought, ‘I need a new coat, and I’ve got to do something with the old one.’ When it is warm outside people don’t think about it as much.”

Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin on Monday decided not to impose any sanctions against the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office after prosecutors in a rape case admitted to improperly disseminating a sealed document. The affidavit regards the alleged victim’s previous sexual conduct and was filed under seal in August by the attorney of one of the two defendants COURTS in the case. The document was filed under seal because of the “rape shield” law, which limits the introduction of evidence at trial regarding an alleged rape victim’s sexual history. The defense attorneys in the case had argued that the dissemination of the sealed record tainted witnesses’ testimony. The prosecution’s case alleges that a 21-year-old man and 20-year-old man raped a fellow student in their Haskell Indian Nations University dormitory on Nov. 15, 2014. The 21-year-old is charged with aiding and abetting attempted Please see AFFIDAVIT, page 3A

“The real problem is helping Syrians in Syria,” Colyer said during an interview at the Statehouse shortly after returning from the Middle East. “The real problem is doing something about helping our allies. All of the Syrians that we talked to — and in fact all of the Syrians I’ve talked to over the years — they want to go home.” Colyer, a plastic surgeon in Johnson County, is a volunteer with the group International Medical Corps, a U.S.-based nongovernmental organization that provides medical care in areas ravaged by war and natural disasters. He made a similar trip to refugee camps along the Syrian-Jordanian border last Thanksgiving. In a series of appearances on Sunday morning talk shows this week, Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, made much the same argument. “The facilities that have been offered to (refugees) here in Jordan are very satisfactory. And when I asked them what Americans could do, they said, ‘If Americans could support those facilities to a greater degree,’ because they have much more capacity here in Jordan,” Carson said on NBC’s “Meet The Press” program Sunday. Colyer said he first met Carson when the presidential candidate made a campaign stop in Topeka in September. “We were visiting about a lot of different issues and talked about some of the work I’ve done abroad, and he asked if we could show him the Jordan-Syrian border over Thanksgiving,” Colyer said. According to recent polls, Carson is currently running second behind Donald Trump in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, where national security has become a dominant

Colyer, a plastic surgeon, volunteers with International Medical Corps, a volunteer organization that provides health care in war zones and disaster areas around the world. issue in the wake of terrorist attacks in Paris. But it’s a message that has particular importance at home, where Gov. Sam Brownback recently issued an executive order barring the use of public funds to help Syrian refugees resettle in Kansas. While the Obama administration has proposed raising the number of Syrian refugees who can be admitted to the U.S. by as many as 10,000 a year, Brownback and about 30 other governors, almost all of them Republican, have argued that an influx of Syrian refugees could pose a security threat. Brownback and the other governors have drawn sharp criticism over those policies, and some legal experts have suggested they have no legal authority to discriminate in the use of federally funded refugee aid. Colyer said he agrees with the security concerns, although he doesn’t necessarily think it’s the most important concern. “The individuals that we met are not a direct security threat, as far as I can tell,” Colyer said. “What is clear is that ISIS (the Islamic State) has said they want to send ISIS terrorists in with refugees. And they’ve made that clear. What the governor and I are supporting is that they have proper clearance.”

More importantly, though, Colyer said he believes providing direct humanitarian aid in Syria and to its neighbors would be the most effective way of dealing with the crisis. “The point is this,” he said. “There are 4 million refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. There are another 4 million displaced people there. When you talk to the Syrians — to the real Syrian refugees — what they want is, they want to go home. They want the war over. And bringing 10,000 people out of 4 million is less than 1 percent. That’s not going to solve the problem or affect things.” “The Jordanians have roughly 1.4 million Syrian refugees living in their country,” he continued. “The vast majority of them are not in camps, but in cities and homes and apartments. Jordan, for example, what they’ve had to do is have Syrian kids go to school in the morning, and in the afternoon Jordanian kids go to school. So they’re making tremendous sacrifices. And there has been a long appeal for resources to help people along the border, and they’re unfilled. We can do more to really help people. That’s what this is about.”

Fleming, however, will argue that if the city changes its policy, it shouldn’t change for projects that are already in the pipeline. It will be interesting to watch what the commission does. This particular type of incentive — an industrial revenue bond that allows construction materials to be bought sales-tax free — has been used a lot. In fact, the state, city and county have given up about $9.5 million in sales taxes since 2010 as a result of this incentive program. The city put together a handy list of projects that have used the IRB sales tax exemption since 2010. The projects have totaled almost $212 million. The city uses a rule of thumb that about half of a project’s costs are related to building materials. That would mean about $106 million worth of construction materials were purchased with a sales tax exemption. At the cur-

Now, folks at City Hall quickly will point out that the city only gets a portion of total sales taxes collected. The local sales tax rate — the city and county combined — is 2.55 percent. That calculates to $2.7 million in sales taxes that didn’t end up in the city’s or county’s coffers.

to set its own fees. If approved, fees at the course could be adjusted based on weather, course conditions and what other courses are charging. The request is being made at the same time Parks and Recreation is asking to change its fees for 2016. The department is hoping to increase fees anywhere from $1 to $4, depending on how many holes are played, when and whether golfers are using a cart. “A dollar here or there makes a big difference on revenue,” Hecker said. According to a memorandum sent to the City Commission, the proposed cost for playing 18 holes on the weekend, with a cart, would be $49 — a $4 increase from 2015 fees. A chart assembled by Parks and Recreation shows other courses charge an average of $51 for the same service. The courses included in that average are Lake Shawnee, Heritage Park Golf Course, the public course at Alvamar, Cypress Ridge, Forbes and Falcon Valley.

That bill became the target of a “gut-and-go” procedure in which its contents were stripped out and replaced with a bill on an entirely different subject. But the Constitutional Carry bill did become law, and it was immediately lampooned on the latenight comedy TV circuit, including a segment on “The Daily Show,” in which host Jon Stewart called it a signal that Kansas had ceased to be a national symbol of normalcy.

Oklahoma City (ap) — At least seven earthquakes rattled north-central Oklahoma on Monday, in-

cluding one felt 300 miles away in Iowa, prompting concern from policymakers that the state isn’t doing enough to curb the quakes that scientists have linked to oil and gas activity. The number of quakes of magnitude 3.0 in Oklahoma has skyrocketed from a few dozen in 2012 to more than 720 so far this year. Many of the earthquakes are occurring in swarms in areas where wells pump salty wastewater deep into the earth. State regulators have taken steps to try and curb the number of quakes, working with disposal well operators in the area to have them reduce the wells’ volume. But so far

said getting the word out about the OMA through effective public relations is important. Addo-Yobo said he supports teaching multiculturalism in curriculum. “Curriculum infusion is important; it’s really important,” he said. He shared an anecdote about talking with a group of students in New Mexico where a number of the Latino students did not know who Cesar Chavez was, and a number of the black students did not know who Martin Luther King Jr. was. Addo-Yobo said learning about marginalized cultures wasn’t just important for white people, but students of color, too, saying, “If you don’t know yourself, why should we learn about you?” He said he supports “a culture of evidence” in which data is used to show results.

“I truly don’t want an office that is going to be window-dressed, so I’m really intentional,” he said. He also said he supports the OMA getting involved with student recruitment efforts, something he’s done in previous positions, even recruiting gang members from rough high schools and ghettos and making them into “scholars.” As director of Black Programs at New Mexico State, Addo-Yobo provides leadership for the strategic planning process to accelerate AfricanAmerican student achievement, according to a KU news release announcing his visit. Previously AddoYobo was director of the African-American Studies Program in the Division of Student Affairs at Metropolitan State University in St. Paul, Minn., and director of the African-American Learning Resource

According to KU’s news release about “ChiRaq” and the upcoming chat, “Chi-Raq” addresses the staggering number of shootings in urban Chicago — but rather than taking a documentary or a dramatic approach, it’s a satire inspired by the ancient Greek comedy “Lysistrata.” “You can check out of a drama. If you want to,

you can say ‘that is not my world.’ Satire, if it is done right, makes everyone a little uncomfortable and a little more willing to take ownership of the problem,” Willmott said in the news release. “It’s not about women launching sex strikes, but it is about thinking outside the box and people finding new solutions that haven’t been used before.”

the Oklahoma Corporation Commission’s voluntary program has done little to curb the number of quakes.

that points to the inability of the state’s $3.6 billion program targeting at-risk students to close the academic gap between poor and wealthy students. The Kansas Association of School Boards released a report this month arguing a link exists between funding of schools and student performance on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Legislators and Gov. Sam Brownback eliminated the old finance formula and imposed a block-grant system for two years. A threejudge panel in Shawnee County District Court ruled the system was unconstitutional, but the decision is being appealed.

City consistency

World putting fear in perspective By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

Even if they don’t like some aspects of the project, it will be difficult for city commissioners to deny incentives for an apartment development at Eighth and New Hampshire.

ome Lawrence city commissioners have expressed opposition to the use of tax incentives for residential projects, but it will be difficult for commissioners to turn down such a request for a redevelopment project at the former Pachamama’s restaurant location without leaving itself open to criticism for being inconsistent or unfriendly to business. Two aspects of the Pachamama’s plan are likely to spur some discussion at tonight’s commission meeting. One is the request for the city to exempt the project from paying sales taxes on construction materials, an incentive of about $300,000. The other questionable part of the project is that it includes no additional parking facilities to serve the residents of the 55 apartments that will be created after four stories are added to the existing structure. Residents will have to depend on existing public parking, which raises fears of parking congestion on neighborhood streets. In both cases, however, the developers are conforming to existing city policies. Downtown apartment projects are not required to provide additional parking, and all three criteria set for granting the sales tax exemption have been met. A majority of commissioners may not agree with those policies, but they are the policies that existed when this project was being designed and continue to exist today. The sales tax exemption is similar to those recently granted to other downtown projects without much controversy. From the public’s standpoint, the lack of additional parking for 55 apartment units may be of greater concern, although a city analysis says there is enough public parking to accommodate the project. Limited 10-hour parking spaces are located in public lots just south of the project, and city officials point to open long-term spaces at the Riverfront parking garage, which is a five- or six-minute walk from Eighth and New Hampshire. That may not seem an unreasonable distance, but will people actually use that lot or will they opt for free parking on neighborhood streets? Will the lack of dedicated parking make the new building less desirable for potential residents? The recent increase in downtown residential development may be creating some unexpected problems with the city’s existing parking or the public incentives policies and it may be time for the city to review one or both of those issues. Although the city’s Public Incentive Review Board Committee has recommended approval of the tax incentives, commissioners will have the final say. Denying that incentive is unlikely to keep the project from moving forward, but it would raise some justified questions about the unfairness of changing the rules in the middle of the game. LAWRENCE

There was good news last week, but you might not have noticed it, since it was the kind of news that doesn’t normally get headlines: In a world transfixed by terrorism, life is getting back to normal. On Thanksgiving Day in New York, an estimated 3 million people were brave enough to stand in a crowd to watch an annual parade of giant balloon characters. Across the country, millions flooded into shopping malls for the annual ritual of Black Friday shopping, and hundreds of thousands more turned out for college football games. Even in Paris, where Islamic radicals killed 130 people Nov. 13, and in Brussels, which had been on high alert, the streets, shops and restaurants were slowly filling up again.

Living with fear The fear of terrorism isn’t gone, far from it. But since 2001, we’ve learned to live with that fear and to refuse to allow it to disrupt our lives. That’s a good thing. The spike in fear is easy to measure. A CBS poll last week found that 69 percent of Americans think a terrorist attack is likely in the United States over the next few months, up from 44 percent in April. Over time, that number is likely to recede if similar attacks don’t occur soon, according to John Mueller of Ohio State University, who has studied public respons-

Mostly because of what Harvard’s David Ropeik calls our “emotional risk perception.” “Never mind that the numerical odds are low,” Ropeik wrote last week. “We all worry that it could happen to us.” That’s especially true when terrorists attack random targets in a Western es to terrorism. That’s what city, he noted. happened after earlier attacks such as the 2013 bomb- Responding to fear None of this makes our ing at the Boston Marathon and the 2005 bombings on fear of terrorism irrational. “Fear is a really good thing the London Underground. But the fear never quite for survival,” Mueller notes. goes away, Mueller adds. “Fear is why we’re still here Ever since al Qaida’s attacks as a species.” The problem, instead, lies Sept. 11, 2001, he told me, “We’ve internalized a long- in how we respond to fear, term level of fear.

The fear of terrorism isn’t gone, far from it. But since 2001, we’ve learned to live with that fear and to refuse to allow it to disrupt our lives. That’s a good thing.”

Overreaction Now, after the Paris attacks, we’re wrestling with a new version of the overreaction challenge. Some politicians — mostly, but not solely, Republicans — have called for a ban on accepting Syrian refugees, a halt on all immigration from Syria and Iraq, a special “registry” for Muslims entering the country, or heightened surveillance of mosques. It’s not clear how effective any of those ideas would be at stopping would-be terrorists from entering the United States. But all those measures would reward Islamic State by bolstering its sales pitch to young recruits that Western countries are unremittingly hostile to Muslims. In the words of David Rothkopf, editor of Foreign Policy, in an essay last week: “It does the work of the terrorists for the terrorists.” That’s why I was so encouraged by all the otherwise unremarkable signs of normal life this weekend — the cafe-goers in Brussels and Paris, the parade-watchers in New York, even the bargain-hunters at suburban shopping malls. “Meme pas peur,” the posters on the streets of Paris say — “No fear.” That’s a tall order. But even if we can’t banish fear entirely, we can still refuse to let it change our way of life — and demand that our politicians to do the same. — Doyle McManus is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 1, 1915: “To years distinguish themago selves from the IN 1915 ordinary ‘garden variety’ of students at the University, the men in the department of journalism have agreed to wear corduroy trousers and flannel shirts as a badge of their profession. … ‘The custom is a good one, I believe,’ said John Gleissner, a former editor of the Daily Kansan and a senior in the department, ‘for it will mean simpler methods of dress and a means by which the embryonic journalists can distinguish one another.’” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

KU staff issues

called my vet and was told no emergency services were offered after 7 p.m. and I would have to drive to Overland Park. I quickly called another vet and was given the same information. My husband and I reluctantly jumped in the car and raced to Overland Park. Unfortunately, Zoey suffocated and died on the way. She was not given the opportunity of a quick and peaceful death by euthanasia but instead slowly suffocated, gasping for air and begging me for help. I will never forget how helpless I felt. I keep playing that 40 minutes over and over in my mind. I don’t know if Zoey would have survived if she had received emergency care but I do know she wouldn’t have suffered as much. She was my fur baby and definitely deserved better. Certainly a city the size of Lawrence can support a 24-hour emergency care clinic for pets. A 40-minute drive for help was too far for Zoey. Cris Renick, Lawrence

To the editor: I am very disappointed with the Kansas University chancellor’s interview. It seems to clearly indicate the chancellor is not in touch with the issues and concerns of the STAFF of the university. Only two small paragraphs on the impending budget crisis and how that will effect the staff of the university? In the last five years, the staff of KU have not received a realistic cost of living raise. At the same time the cost of health insurance, parking and general cost of living has continued to rise. We have effectively earned less each year for the past five years. At the same time, significant raises were awarded to members of the administration. What is the administration doing to protect the staff from the threat of furlough/layoff again in the spring? Apparently from her interview, this is not a significant concern of the university. Maybe it is time for as much attention to be given to the aforementioned issues as there are to the others she articulated in her interview.

nation has been floated around ever since. But a carbon budget is still unlikely to be addressed in Paris. Why? Because it would throw into focus the global inequities at the heart of the climate crisis. A carbon budget could be likened to a carbon pie. The problem is that two-thirds of the pie has already been eaten by a handful of rich countries, plus China. At current rates, the remaining third will be gone in 30 years or less. Many poor countries are crowding around the table, but the big emitting countries insist on laying claim to most of the rest of the pie. In lieu of a carbon budget to cure gluttonous carbon consumption, Citizens Climate Lobby asks citizens to encourage elected officials to support a revenue-neutral carbon fee and dividend as a free market approach. A gradually increasing carbon fee (as a cost of goods sold) at the source of all oil or natural gas wells, coal mines and ports of entry. This would gradually increase the price to wean us off these heat trapping gases that threaten to make large parts of the earth unlivable. Tony Schmidt, Lawrence

Some charges list specific accusations, including an alleged misstep during an April discussion about the Senate’s director of diversity and inclusion, and tweeting support of University of Missouri Legion of Black Collegians without taking “substantive” action to address needs of black students at KU. Other reasons are broader, such as being the figureheads of an organization that students complained at the town hall forum excluded them and did not represent their voices, according to the bill. Pringle declined to comment on any of the accusations, saying Senate rules call for those to be addressed if and when they come before the full Senate. George referred questions to Pringle, and Moon did not respond to email requests for an interview. It initially appeared that a single impeachment committee would prepare a report and recommendation for all three officers. But in an email last week, Senior Senator Lauren Arney, who’s in charge of the process, said the impeachment investigations will not run simultaneously. “Each individual that is up for impeachment will have a separate impeachment committee as the violations included in the impeachment papers are specific to each person,” she said. Moon is up first, and his committee plans to present its report and recommendation to the full Senate on Dec. 9, Arney said. According to Senate rules, at that meeting the accused can make his case without debate. If a simple majority of senators vote to move forward with hearing the case, the process will continue to a special meeting with a debate style discussion. A two-thirds vote is required to take disciplinary action, the severity of which is at the Senate’s discretion regardless of the committee’s recommendation. It’s unclear when reports for Pringle and George will be complete, but it looks to be into the second semester because Dec. 11 is the last day of fall classes at KU. Pringle said in the

The accusation of failing to stand for black lives matter is not found anywhere in the most recent bill of impeachment against Pringle, George and Chief of Staff Adam Moon. The bill features a list of 17 reasons — filling five pages — that the three should lose their positions. That bill was introduced at the Nov. 18 full Senate meeting, and signed by enough senators for impeachment proceedings to continue.

meantime, she will continue doing her job. She, George and Moon have released a list of diversity-related proposals they intend to pursue. “We’re going to do everything we can to lead the Senate to real solutions and to respond to those concerns,” she said. “We might take some time off over the holidays, but we’ll be back at work over winter break.” lll

Pringle said the recent Senate shakeup, while difficult, appears to have inspired action on the part of some other senators as well. “Lots of senators are engaging in writing bills and really tackling the issues that they’re passionate about,” she said. None of the core members of Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk who took the stage at the town hall forum was a Student Senate member, at least at the time, Pringle said. Student Katherine Rainey, who read the group’s list of demands on stage — including one for creating a separate Multicultural Student Senate at KU — ran unsuccessfully against Pringle for Student Body president in the spring, as part of the Imagine KU coalition. Rainey has not responded to previous interview requests from the Journal-World. Pringle ran with the Advance KU coalition. Pringle said a few previously vacant seats on the Senate have been filled in recent weeks. She said she could not confirm specifically which seats those were, referring the question to Moon. An earlier check of the Senate’s online roster indicated that at least some unfilled seats were for appointees from multicultural student groups. Pringle said some of the new senators contributed to ensuring the bill of impeachment against her, George and Moon got enough signatures to move forward. But she said “all of the excitement” around the Senate prompting people to get involved was “really great for us.” — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

But the effort gained a lot of its early fuel in the Senate following one particular accusation that the leaders say is false: That at KU’s Nov. 11 town hall forum on race, Student Body President Jessie Pringle and Vice President Zach George did not “stand in solidarity with their black peers and proclaim that Black Lives Matter.” After a group of mostly black students calling themselves Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk temporarily took over the stage and microphones to read a list of 15 diversity related demands for the university, an audience member called for those in the auditorium to stand in solidarity with their black peers. “Zach and I definitely stood when the call went out to stand for black lives matter,” said Pringle, a senior from Chanute. The pair did not stand when the call went out for faculty and staff to stand, she said, nor did they stand when the call went out to stand in support of the 15 demands just read by Invisible Hawk. “At that point in time we really needed to consider all of the demands,” Pringle said. “We didn’t know a lot of the background regarding some of them.” The accusation that they did not stand was part of a motion demanding their resignation that was presented and approved two days later at the Senate’s Student Executive Committee meeting. Pringle likened it to the childhood game of telephone. “It was a really emotionally intense atmosphere,” she said. “There was a lot of miscommunication that traveled through a lot of different channels.”

Pentagon mulls more special ops to Syria Commandos are serving as advisers in ISIL fight Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

The Pentagon will consider deploying more special operations troops to fight Islamic State militants if its pilot project in Syria shows signs of progress, a senior Defense official told USA TODAY on Monday. WASHINGTON

The Pentagon last month announced that 50 commandos would be sent to northern Syria to advise forces battling the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS. Sending that initial force amounts to “breaking the seal” on inserting special operations forces in Syria and could lead to further deployments, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about planning. The Pentagon will not comment on whether those commandos have arrived in Syria. The trigger for sending more

special operations forces, the official said, is the ability of local forces to take ground from ISIL in Syria and hold it. Adding more forces on the ground in Syria would represent a significant deepening of the U.S. commitment to the counter-ISIL effort, potentially requiring additional forces to support them. The Pentagon’s counter-ISIL strategy will be the focus of a hearing Tuesday before the House Armed Services Committee; Defense Secretary Ash Carter is scheduled to testify. Rep. Mac Thornberry, the Tex-

as Republican who chairs the committee, said in an interview that he would support a greater commitment of U.S. ground forces to Syria and Iraq, including spotters for airstrikes, if they are part of more robust strategy to confront the Islamic State. “The issue is OK, what would it take to really degrade and ultimately destroy ISIS?” Thornberry said. “Send however many guys or assemble whatever coalition is necessary to accomplish that goal.” Thornberry dismissed the deployment of 50 commandos as a

half measure that won’t work. “Fifty guys to be deployed is not going to turn the tide of this battle,” he said. Thornberry advocated an even more muscular military approach to confronting ISIL, including the establishment of no-fly zones inside Syria, which has been racked by civil war that has killed 250,000 people and has seen the rise of ISIL. On Sunday, Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called for the deployment of 20,000 U.S. troops to fight ISIL in Iraq and Syria.

PARIS President Obama urged his fellow world leaders Monday to reach a landmark deal to curb global warming before it dooms the planet. “I come here personally as the leader of the world’s biggest economy and second-biggest emitter to say that America not only acknowledges its role in climate change but embraces doing something about it,” Obama said. Speaking at the opening session of a United Nations conference attended by 196 nations, he said the old arguments for inaction on climate change had been broken. “One of the enemies we will be fighting at this conference is cynicism. The notion we can’t do anything about climate change,”

Obama said. He said the next few weeks could mark a turning point in efforts to limit global temperature

rises, and “climate change could define the contours of this century more than any other (problem).” The conference, which is scheduled to conclude Dec. 11, aims to reach an accord for reducing man-made greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Amid extraordinarily tight security, 151 world leaders converged on the exhibition halls at Le Bourget Airport just outside the French capital. Paris remains on edge in the wake of the coordinated terrorist attacks by Islamic State militants Nov. 13 in Paris that killed 130 people. Opening the event Monday, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said negotiators had only days to finalize an agreement. He said that when the conference ends, he wants to be able to say “our mission is accomplished.”

CHICAGO A Chicago police officer facing a first-degree murder charge for fatally shooting a teen 16 times was released from county jail Monday evening, hours after a judge set bond at $1.5 million. Officer Jason Van Dyke had been in jail since last Tuesday after prosecutors charged him with the shooting Oct. 20, 2014, of Laquan McDonald, 17. Also Tuesday, the city released dashcam video that shows the teen, who is black, being shot by Van Dyke, who is white. Ben Breit, a AP Cook County sheriff’s spokes- Jason Van Dyke man, said Monday that Van Dyke posted bail — 10% of the bail set by the judge, or $150,000 — and was released. Protesters took to Chicago streets for several days after the video release. Judge Donald Panarese Jr. noted before setting the bail that Van Dyke is presumed innocent. Van Dyke appeared in court last Tuesday for a bond hearing, but prosecutors did not present the judge with the video. Panarese ordered lawyers to return to court Monday, so he could decide on bail after viewing the video. The video shows McDonald, who prosecutors say punctured a tire of a squad car, veering away from police when Van Dyke shoots him. Van Dyke fired 13 of the shots while McDonald was on the ground, the video shows. The video is at odds with a narrative from the department and police union that McDonald, who prosecutors said had PCP in his system and was holding a knife, lunged at Van Dyke before he fired. Five other officers at the scene did not fire their weapons.

As auto sales sizzle, dealers’ SUV supply runs short Chris Woodyard USA TODAY

Auto industry authorities expect monthly sales figures, slated to be released Tuesday, will show record-setting sales despite an increasingly common issue: not enough vehicles being produced. “The demand is just insatiable right now for SUVs,” says Erich Merkle, sales analyst for Ford Motor, where supplies are tight on the Explorer, Edge and Lincoln MKX. “That’s what’s hot, and it’s showing up in the sales.” Honda has the same supply-

and-demand problem. When it comes to the HR-V, CR-V and Pilot SUVs, “we can’t get enough of them,” says John Mendel, executive vice president in charge of sales for American Honda. Even Volkswagen, dogged by a scandal over its diesel emissions, has a few models in tight supply. Overall, dealers had a 24-day supply of smaller trucks in October on their lots, the most recent month in which supply data were available. That’s down five days from the year before, Edmunds.com reports. The supply of compact crossovers was 44 days on average, down three days

EVAN SEARS, CARS.COM

Subaru makes the Crosstrek.

from the year before. The industry average in October was a 62day supply. Subaru, known for its rugged, smaller crossovers, has the shortest supply on dealer lots —

only 19 days’ worth of cars. It says that if it had all the vehicles it will offer for sale through the end of this year on dealers’ lots, they would have already been snapped up by buyers. “We’d love to make more,” says Michael McHale, spokesman for Subaru, which has tripled sales since 2008 and is expanding factories. “We plan to make more.” The shortages are a reflection of blistering new-car sales. November’s tally is likely to mark the highest sales total for the month since 2001, Kelley Blue Book says. New-car sales for 2015 are on track to set a record of

17.4 million. Sales growth is propelled by low interest rates, low unemployment and lots of jalopies on the road that are finally getting replaced. Most brands see spot shortages. Even as Toyota advertises its new version of the Tacoma pickup, it has less than a 10-day supply, says Bill Fay, head of the Toyota division. In turn, factories are doing what they can to move away from more slow-selling models. “We’ve done a nice job of shifting our mix to build more light trucks,” Fay says.

U.S. tightens visa waiver program Scrutiny to fall on those who’ve gone to terrorist havens Gregory Korte USA TODAY

The United States will begin screening passengers entering under a visa waiver, based on any past travel to a country known as a terrorist safe haven, the Obama administration announced Monday. The new policy was one of several changes announced to the visa waiver program in the wake of terrorist attacks in Paris Nov. 13. Though President Obama has resisted efforts to impose restrictions on refugees from Syria, he has indicated a willingness to work with Congress to change the visa waiver program that allows 20 million visitors into the USA each year. The program alWASHINGTON

CHIP SOMODEVILLA, GETTY IMAGES

Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Chris Murphy, D-Conn., talk about proposals in the wake of terror attacks in Paris. lows passengers from 38 countries — mostly European but also Australia, Brunei, Chile, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan — to visit the USA without advance approval for 90 days or less.

The White House announced Monday that it asked for a review of whether those 38 counties were cooperating with security reviews, raising the possibility that some countries could be suspended from the program.

The United States will expand the use of fingerprints and photographs to identify passengers and update its databases to include any past travel to a country considered a terrorist safe haven. Such countries include Somalia, Mali, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Colombia and Venezuela, according to the State Department. Outside Paris, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the visa waiver changes would “enhance our security without undermining the international connections that are critical to the strength of our economy.” Earnest said Obama named Rob Malley, a National Security Council official who helped negotiate the Iran nuclear deal, as a senior adviser on the Islamic State. Earnest urged Congress to confirm the Treasury Department’s top counterterrorism official, ban people on the “no fly” list from buying guns and update the legal authority to use military

force against terrorist groups. He put the relatively non-controversial visa waiver issue in the context of a broader battle between Obama and Congress over national security. “For too long, Capitol Hill has been a source of politically motivated posturing, but few, if any, tangible improvements to our national security. That’s wrong, it’s dangerous, and it falls far short of what the American people deserve,” Earnest said. Congress was considering legislative changes in the visa waiver program as early as September, when a House Homeland Security Committee task force recommended updating passports to include identifying information embedded in a microchip. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Monday he expects the House to vote on a visa waiver bill by the end of the year. Contributing: Paul Singer and Bart Jansen in Washington

PAPAL PLEA IN AFRICA: A ‘NO’ TO VIOLENCE Francis targets conflicts rooted in religious issues Tonny Onyulo

Special for USA TODAY KAMPALA , UGANDA Pope Francis wrapped up his six-day trip to Africa in the war-torn Central Africa Republic on Monday by warning that religious conflicts are spawning civil war, terrorism and suffering throughout the continent. “Together we must say no to hatred, to revenge and to violence, especially violence perpetrated in the name of a religion or of God himself,” the pope said in Bangui, the capital. Under heavy security, the pope celebrated Mass at a stadium in Bangui and visited the Koudoukou mosque in a violence-riddled neighborhood where Bangui’s Muslims have been unable to leave for months because armed Christian militia fighters have surrounded it. Francis spoke about the violence between Christians and Muslims that erupted when rebels ousted the Central African Republic’s president three years ago — and continues to divide the country. Around 6,000 have died in the fighting, and thousands have been displaced. Despite the security risks, the pope traveled in an open-air vehicle and received an exuberant welcome. “I want to thank him because he has preached peace,” said Nasra Yamashia, a mother of five who lives in the St. Joseph Mukasa refugee camp outside Bangui. A Muslim, Yamashia lost her husband to Christian so-called Anti-balaka fighters who emerged after Islamic forces

ousted the Central African Republic’s president. “We have lived in fear for many years, and I hope his visit will bring a lasting peace to our people. The fighters should also value the life of people and stop killings,” she said. Francis’ remarks dovetailed with themes he sounded at the outset of his trip in Kenya last

week. “Tribalism. It can destroy. It can mean having your hands hidden behind your back and having a stone in each hand to throw to others,” the pope told a group of Catholic youths in Nairobi on Friday. “Kenya is a young and vibrant nation. Cohesion, integration and tolerance toward other people must be a primary goal.” Love, he preached, was the antidote to the hatreds that tribalism and sectarianism can unleash. “You can ask yourself: Is this path to destruction or is it an opportunity to overcome this challenge for me, my family and as a member of this country,” Francis asked. “We don’t live in heaven, we live on Earth, and Earth is full of difficulties. You have the capacity to choose which path you want to follow, the path of opportunity or of division.”

He also called for governments to distribute wealth in a socially responsible manner that curbs, rather than exacerbates, divisions between people. “I encourage you to work with integrity and transparency for the common good, and to foster a spirit of solidarity at every level of society,” he said. Kenyans embraced the pope’s message. “I’m encouraged and inspired,” said Erick Otieno, who stood along a route where the pope passed. “He addressed issues affecting this country, and we hope our leaders will follow his advice because he’s a man of God.” Risper Anyango, 40, a mother of three who sells roasted maize in Nairobi’s sprawling Kangemi slum, where the pope toured on his final day in Kenya, was awestruck by the pontiff’s presence.

“I have lived here in poverty for more than 20 years,” Anyango said. “The Kenya government is not willing to help the poor because of rampant corruption. I pray that our leaders hear the message of the pope.” Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

SUSPECT ARRESTED IN THREAT TO UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO

Federal authorities charged a University of Illinois-Chicago student in connection with a gun violence threat that closed the University of Chicago on Monday. Jabari Dean, 21, threatened that he was going to take retaliation against 16 white men at the University of Chicago for the police-involved shooting death of Laquan McDonald, according to a criminal complaint. The death of McDonald, who was shot 16 times by a white police officer more than a year ago, sparked days of protests in Chicago after the city was forced by court order last week to release police dashcam video of the shooting. The University of Illinois at Chicago in a statement identified the suspect as a UIC student living off-campus.

GERMANY MAY SEND TROOPS TO FIGHT ISLAMIC STATE

CHIEF REVENUE OFFICER

In the latest move to combat the Islamic State, Germany is weighing the dispatch of as many as 1,200 troops to help defeat the militant group. The troops would be used to operate and support reconnaissance aircraft, tanker planes and a warship, German Defense Ministry spokesman Jens Flosdorff said Monday, according to several news media. The German Cabinet is expected to agree to the plan on Tuesday and send it to Parliament for its approval. Germany’s defense minister, Ursula von der Leyen, called for an alliance of nations to defeat the Islamic State, in a commentary published in the Bild newspaper Monday. — Gregg Zoroya

WHITE HOUSE TO OFFER MORE REFUGEE DATA States to get reports, minus names, on Syrian migrants Gregory Korte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The White House promised the nation’s governors Monday that it will provide them better information on Syrian refugees being resettled in their states but said its policy on accepting those refugees remains unchanged. White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough said the State Department would provide governors with reports on the total number of refugees — but not their names — broken down by nationality, age range and gender. “This proposal responds to Governors’ input while protecting the privacy AFP/GETTY IMAGES of refugee famGov. John ilies,” McDoKasich stands nough wrote. by his views. Much of that information is already publicly released, but the administration is promising to make it available in a more routine, customized format on a password-protected website. But the White House isn’t budging on the underlying policy, in which it will seek to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees in the United States in fiscal year 2016. “We continue to believe the security vetting for this population is extraordinarily thorough and McDonough comprehensive,” told the governors. “It is the most robust screening process for any category of individuals seeking admission into the United States.” Instead, the White House is putting its energies behind an overhaul of the visa waiver program, which allows 20 million visitors a year from 38 countries to enter the United States for up

to 90 days. At least 24 governors said they would refuse to cooperate with federal efforts to resettle refugees in their states after the terror attacks in Paris on Nov. 13. Four days later, McDonough hosted a conference call with governors in an attempt to allay their concerns. The White House response is unlikely to satisfy some harderline Republican governors who want a moratorium on new Syrian refugees. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, for example, has directed state agencies not to assist with resettling Syrian refugees, a move now being challenged in court by the American Civil Liberties Union. A spokesman for Ohio Gov. John Kasich said his position remains unchanged, but that the information sharing is the least the White House should offer. “We are pleased to see the federal gov-

For GOP, a ‘golden opportunity’ Planned Parenthood to reclaim security as its issue suspect “The mission is to destroy ISIS — not to contain it.”

Rick Hampson USA TODAY

In political theory, it’s known as “issue ownership”: to be known to voters as the party that cares most about something, and is best at it. National security has been the Republicans’ issue for most of the past six decades. They lost their hold because of the Iraq War debacle, but now — after the Paris attacks and growing concern about the Islamic State — will press their traditional advantage in the 2016 presidential campaign. “It ought to be a golden opportunity for the Republicans to play to their strength,” says Roy Licklider, a Rutgers University expert on politics and terrorism. To do so, however, the GOP and its eventual nominee must come to terms with one of the most fraught tactics — and words — in foreign policy: containment. President Obama has been criticized for using the term to describe his achievements in Syria and Iraq against the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, though in a news conference last week he used stronger language, saying the group “must be destroyed.” Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, among others, reject the term containment. Clinton: “Our goal is not to deter or contain ISIS, but to defeat and destroy ISIS.” Bush: “The mission is to destroy ISIS — not to contain it.” “Containment” has been U.S. policy against major foes since the middle of the Korean War, when Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s attempt to run the North Korean army out of North Korea provoked a devastating counterattack by the Chinese. It’s also been responsible for many foreign policy successes, including one of the greatest of the 20th century — the collapse, without a bullet being fired, of the Soviet Union. Containment is intimately connected to the Republican franchise in national security, one which Western New

England University historian John Baick calls “a foundation of our political culture.” It dates to the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower, the World War II general who beat Hitler. Some Republican presidents have advanced national security by practicing containment while calling it something else. In the 1952 campaign, Eisenhower and his future secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, criticized President Truman’s strategy of containing the Soviet Union. But when the Hungarians revolted against their Soviet-dominated regime in 1956, Ike refused to intervene, and the rebellion

was crushed. In eight years now recalled for their relative tranquility, he didn’t roll back the Iron Curtain one inch. Ronald Reagan was known for his hatred of what he called the Soviet “Evil Empire,” voiced in his famous demand in Berlin in 1987: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” Conservatives still praise his refusal to accept the geopolitical status quo. But Reagan didn’t forcibly roll back the Soviets — he helped spend them into submission with an arms buildup. Conversely, the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 was pure rollback. And after the war turned sour a few years later, the

President Reagan delivers his famous speech in 1987 in front of Brandenburg Gate, in which he tells Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.”

Republicans’ reputation as security experts was undercut by public disenchantment and by the party’s own division. John McCain, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee, paid the price. While no presidential candidate seems willing to endorse containment of ISIL, few are calling for full-blown, unilateral rollback, either. For most GOP candidates, the primary focus has not even been ISIL, but on slowing or stopping Obama’s plan to admit Syrian refugees. It’s a reflection of the very different political dynamics that exist when challenging a sitting president on national security.

Judge orders a public defender assigned to Dear Trevor Hughes USA TODAY

The man accused in a shooting rampage at a Planned Parenthood clinic that left three dead, including a police officer, stared woodenly ahead and spoke only briefly during a short court appearance Monday. Robert Lewis Dear is being held without bond on suspicion of first-degree murder in connection with Friday’s nearly fivehour attack and AP standoff. He Robert Lewis surrendered to Dear police after they crashed two armored SWAT vehicles through the clinic’s front entrance. Dear wore a padded vest during his appearance, his hair and beard unkempt. “No questions,” Dear told Chief Judge Gilbert Martinez during the 13-minute hearing in which he was advised of his rights and asked if he understood the process. There was no discussion of a possible motive. Martinez appointed the Colorado Public Defender’s Office to represent Dear. Appearing with the defendant on Monday was Dan King, the public defender who this year persuaded a jury to spare the life of Aurora, Colo., theater killer James Holmes. District Attorney Dan May said his office has not decided whether to pursue the death penalty. Killed Friday were police officer Garrett Swasey, Army veteran Ke’Arre Marcell Stewart and Jennifer Markovsky. COLORADO SPRINGS

First officer faces trial in Freddie Gray case John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

Jury selection began Monday in the first high-stakes trial for Baltimore police officers involved in the April arrest of Freddie Gray, a young black man whose death set off a series of sometimes violent protests that tore “Charm City” apart. The attorney for Gray's family said he expected that a jury would be seated by Wednesday. The jury selection process for officer William Porter is crucial because it could determine whether it is possible to select impartial juries in the city for each of six officers charged in connection with Gray’s death. Lawyers for the officers have said it’s not possible; Baltimore Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams decided to try. Williams conducted initial questioning in a courtroom but planned to interview 66 prospective jurors in a private conference room, the Associated Press reported. The judge asked 75 potential jurors on Monday whether anyone had not heard about the case, the citywide curfew imposed after Gray’s death or the $6.4 million settlement paid to his family. No one responded, but 12 jurors said they had family members in law enforcement. Thirty-seven said architecture and integrity and turn the house and park into destination spots.

Current AOL CEO Tim Armstrong had groomed Lord as a successor but now will remain for several more years in the wake of Verizon’s $4.4 billion acquisition of AOL in May. A former global CEO of Razorfish, Lord joined AOL in 2013 and helped establish its online advertising prowess that drove Verizon to pursue the deal. FORD CONTRACT BONUS WILL RESULT IN $600M CHARGE The signing bonus Ford Motor Company gave its workers under a new contract with the United Auto Workers union will result in a fourth-quarter charge of $600 million, Ford executives said Monday. The bonus includes costs for backdating wage increases to Sept. 15, health care and other benefits. Ford’s fouryear UAW contract increases labor costs by less than 1.5% a year, according to CEO Mark Fields. Its labor costs would be about $60 an hour, including benefits, by the end of the contract, the company estimates.

Gates touts Mission Innovation green plan Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

PARIS Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates unveiled plans Monday by an international coalition to invest billions of dollars in clean-energy projects to combat global warming. Gates unveiled the initiative on the opening day of the summit on climate talks alongside President Obama, French President François Hollande and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Among the 20 countries that agreed to participate in the program called Mission Innovation are France, the U.S., India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Canada and Norway. Joining them will be a group of 28 international investors, including Marc Benioff, chairman and chief executive of Salesforce .com; Virgin Group founder Richard Branson; and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia. The countries pledged to double investment in low or no-carbon energy research. At the same time, Gates said investors will support companies that bring innovative clean-energy ideas to the marketplace. That alliance will be called the Breakthrough Energy Coalition. The project will focus on technologies that permit better use of clean energy from wind and solar, even when there’s no wind or sunshine. Gates, whose fortune is estimated by Forbes at about $80 billion, said last summer he would invest about $1 billion over the next five years to clean-energy projects.

China bullies its way to an elevated currency status IMF deems renminbi ‘freely usable,’ though it patently is not Darrell Delamaide @ddelamaide Special for USA TODAY

China gained admittance Monday into the elite club of top global currencies, even though the world’s secondlargest economy fails to observe many free-market rules governing world trade and finance. BUSINESS REGULATION

WASHINGTON

The move by the International Monetary Fund to include the Chinese yuan, officially the renminbi, in the basket of currencies it uses for its own accounting of reserves is largely symbolic and will have little immediate impact on world trade or markets. But the IMF’s willingness to stretch its rules about what currencies make up its basket — the others are the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen and the British pound — is an appeasement of China’s desire to throw around its economic weight and could have unintended consequences. After months of debate, the IMF concluded that the Chinese currency is “freely usable” even though it patently is not. It can’t be freely traded in foreign exchange markets and Chi-

WOO HE, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

nese securities markets are not open to foreign investors — two criteria that until now would have been considered minimal requirements for “freely usable.” Rather, the word is that China has made progress toward making its currency more international, and this recognition by the

IMF will strengthen the hand of reformers in Beijing. Given the way China has flouted the rules of any international group it has joined whenever it feels like it, this seems like an optimistic assumption and makes the decision look politically motivated. Such politics are not necessarily in the interest of the U.S. The French managing director of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, who pushed through the decision on the yuan, has demonstrated with the recent Greek bailout that she is willing to ride roughshod over the IMF’s rules when it suits Europe’s interests. In that case, she pushed through IMF loans to Greece far in excess of what would have been allowed under normal limits, and most of that money went

to French and German banks so they could be repaid for their imprudent lending in Greece. Now, by ignoring China’s failure to meet even the most minimal tests for a freely convertible currency, she is willing to placate China’s desire to join the ranks of developed Western-style democracies even though it is very much an emerging market with a long history of political repression. In doing so, Lagarde is driving another nail into the coffin of the multilateral institutions set up after World War II to help regulate and manage a global economy — the IMF, the World Bank and the World Trade Organization. Delamaide has covered business and economics from New York, Paris, Berlin and Washington.

Over the past 100 years, the broad U.S. market gauge has posted average gains of nearly 1.5%, which ranks No. 1. But gains in December have dwindled in recent years, with the S&P 500 gaining just 1.37%, on average, which ranks fourth. Year-end rallies after big gains MAJOR INDEXES

in October have been hard to come by as well. Going back to 1931, in years when the stock market rallied more than 5% in October, the market has risen just 0.4% in the final two months of the year. So, if history is a guide, much of the year-end rally, or Santa Claus rally, might already have occurred, reducing the chance for a big-time upswing this December. On the bright side, there haven’t been any major calls on Wall Street for a big downdraft to end the year, either. So, if recent history repeats, investors can expect a flattish market, void of any major moves, in the final month of the year. Soon, the debate on Wall Street will shift to 2016. And the message is mixed. There are calls ranging from a flat market to one that delivers long-term average double-digit gains.

INVESTING ASK MATT

No matter age, craft a portfolio that fits you Q: Should Millennials invest differently? Matt Krantz

@mattkrantz mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Millennials certainly are making their presence known in the workforce. But on Wall Street, Millennials are just like anybody else. An investor’s age isn’t what drives how they invest. It’s an investor’s appetite for risk — and interest and time to craft a portfolio — that is more pertinent to creating an investment plan. That rule applies no matter what generation you’re from. Many times, younger investors can tolerate more risk because they have a longer investment horizon than someone in their 70s. These investors might be able to handle a higher exposure to riskier assets, such as small U.S. stocks and emerging markets, and hold a lower proportion in bonds. But that’s not always the case. Some Millennial investors might have debt obligations that reduce their appetite for risk. Others may not want to risk money that could be used for a down payment for a home. Another factor to consider is time. Millennials comfortable with online investing, who don’t want to spend much time researching, can consider brokers’ “robo advisers” that help pick a portfolio aimed at them. But young investors with time to research could avoid costs by choosing their own portfolios.

cal index’s lowest growth rate in six years, the Pittsburgh-based financial services company said. Nine of the 12 gifts maintained their respective costs this year. “While the economy continues to chug along on a sustainable path, low commodity prices are keeping consumer costs down,” Jim Dunigan, chief investment officer of PNC Asset Management Group, said in a statement released with the roundup. “With only a few items in our index increasing in cost this year, true loves should be thrilled that they can have their goose and better afford the gas to roast it too.”

Mirroring the government’s core CPI, which excludes energy and food prices, PNC excluded the seven swans a-swimming — typically the most volatile cost — from the overall index. With the swans out, the core gift index rose 1%, similar to the 1.9% government CPI increase, PNC said. The roundup also showed: uThe cost of five gold rings stayed at $750, the same as the past two years, despite a drop in gold commodity prices. uThe $7,553 price tag for nine ladies dancing, the $2,635 cost for 11 pipers piping and the $2,855 outlay for 12 drummers drum-

ming were also exactly on par with the past two years. However, the cost of 10 lords a-leaping jumped 3%, to $5,508.70. uThe pear tree, home to the song’s lone partridge, rose 1.2%, perhaps reflecting the upward trend in housing costs. uThe cost of the eight maids a-milking, the index’s only unskilled workers, held steady for the sixth consecutive year, reflecting the federal minimum wage, unchanged since 2009. PNC also calculated the cost of buying the 12 items via the Internet: $43,626.73 — or $9,495.74 more than buying in person.

ince seeing The Wiz on Broadway as a child in the ’70s, Queen Latifah has “gone through a phase of wanting to play every character,” she says, “from Dorothy to The Wiz.” On Dec. 3, Latifah finally will get her shot at the latter role in NBC’s The Wiz Live!, the latest installment in what has become a seasonal tradition. Like 2013’s The Sound of Music Live! and 2014’s Peter Pan Live!, this Wiz follows the original stage incarnation, based on L.

Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (also the source of a certain beloved film). There are new elements in The Wiz Live!, being co-produced by Cirque du Soleil, whose theatrical division is planning a Broadway revival of the show for the 201617 season. Cirque-trained acrobats will be featured in the live broadcast, with choreography by film and music-video veteran Fatima Robinson, whose credits include Dreamgirls. Harvey Mason Jr., another pop and

R&B veteran who worked on the Dreamgirls soundtrack, is music producer for The Wiz Live!; he joined Ne-Yo and Elijah Kelley, respectively cast as Tin Man and Scarecrow, and Broadway veteran Stephen Oremus (music director) to write a new song, We Got It. And four-time Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein contributed new material to William F. Brown’s original book. Director Kenny Leon, a Tony winner himself for a 2014 revival of A Raisin in the Sun, says The Wiz Live! will emphasize Dorothy’s “emotional journey,” taking into account that she is being raised by her Auntie Em. Leon says: “It’s important that Dorothy is an African-American girl, that girls of color can find themselves

in this story. With where we are right now ... in terms of understanding each other racially, it’s important to get this story out.” Latifah notes that while seeing the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz “opened up my mind to dream,” watching “people who looked like me and my family” in The Wiz — on stage and on screen — “made it seem ... that I could grow up and do what I’m doing now.” At the same time, Leon says, The Wiz tells “a universal story about dreams and courage and tolerance. And about realizing, as Dorothy does, that home is where the love is.”

CW’s superheroes of today are giving rise to the next crop of Legends. This week The Flash (8 p.m. ET/PT Tuesday) and Arrow (8 ET/PT Wednesday) share casts for their second annual two-part crossover, but it’s actually a threeway dance this time that introduces key members of the new spinoff DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, premiering Jan. 21. In the show, time traveler Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) rounds up a group made up of Arrow and Flash favorites, from good guys Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) and Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) to rogues Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell), to visit various times in history to stop immortal villain Vandal Savage (Casper Crump). Before that, however, Vandal makes a big move in the crossover, attacking Central City barista Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renée) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes), a member of the S.T.A.R. Labs crew with the super-fast Flash,

Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) and Hawkgirl (Ciara Renée) are targeted on this week’s Arrow/The Flash crossover.

Barry Allen (Grant Gustin). To keep Kendra safe, Barry and his team take her to see their Team Arrow friends in Star City — including Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), aka Green Arrow — and she’s taken away by the mysterious winged Hawkman named Carter Hall (Falk Hentschel). He drops a big bomb on Kendra, telling her that they are soul-

mates who’ve been reincarnated repeatedly for 4,000 years. “She’s always been someone who’s felt something wasn’t quite right in her life,” says Flash and Legends executive producer Andrew Kreisberg. “She’s starting to suspect that maybe this disconnect is because she does have this great destiny.” Flash fans saw a glimpse — through Cisco’s “vibe” powers — of Kendra in the Hawkgirl suit she’ll wear on Legends. But she’s not there yet, and it’s up to Carter to get her up to speed. “She is a pretty lost human,” Renee says. “She didn’t really have a plan about what she was doing, and now she’s been thrown into this.” Yet getting involved with Carter and her new hero friends “ignites a fire in Kendra.” It creates a love triangle of sorts since Kendra is starting to like Cisco romantically, she dislikes Carter and thinks he’s an oaf, and Carter is set in getting her up to speed since “he remembers being in love with her 206 times already,” Kreisberg says. “Kendra doesn’t obviously reciprocate those feelings, and he’s trying to be patient just as he has through many lifetimes. But now

that Vandal is here and threatening to kill them, the clock is ticking.” Savage has killed Kendra and Carter repeatedly through their many lives to maintain his immortality, and even though his dark aristocratic look doesn’t quite scream modern fashion, Vandal adapts to whatever period he’s in, even calling Cisco “dude.” “Sometimes you see villains portrayed where they want a nuclear bomb or money or power,” Crump says. “Vandal wants that but it’s just to teach humanity a lesson. If there are periods in time he just doesn’t find interesting, he just kicks back and relaxes ... for 30 years. “He doesn’t need gadgets and cool suits and spaceships. All he needs is a coat, some knives and time. That’s the coolest badass you can get, in my opinion.” Vandal’s an ancient guy but “he’s not trying to attack our heroes from his rocking chair,” adds Marc Guggenheim, executive producer of Arrow and Legends. “He has 4,000 years of experience dealing with all the great evils. He’s learned from really the best and quite frankly the worst history has to offer.”

No apologies needed when coping with grief By Aynsley Anderson Sosinski

Lawrence Memorial Hospital

oy to the world! Merry Christmas! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! These are often phrases that we hear as the holidays near, but anticipation of the holidays does not always bring excitement and enjoyment for everyone. Many individuals who have experienced a loss — either from death, divorce or a move far away from loved ones — may actually approach the holiday season with a sense of dread, emptiness and pain, knowing that things will never be the same. Memories from the past may

emerge that trigger renewed feelings of grief and sadness over their loss and life change. There is no right or wrong way to handle the holiday season. Some find comfort in engaging in familiar traditions and rituals, while others may wish to entirely change the way things are done. Do what feels best and right for you and your family, with no apologies needed. Here are some more tips for coping as shared by the Rev. Angela Lowe, director

of spiritual care and staff chaplain at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. l Honor your loved one or your past life during the holiday season in some way. Suggestions include: giving a donation to an organization that you or the deceased were connected with; making a holiday decoration that represents the spirit of your loved one and then sharing these with others who also knew and loved the person you lost; or lighting a candle, hanging a wreath or contributing to a floral arrangement at your faith community in their memory.

I question Ray again, because I’m pretty curious. Like so many in town, we drive the stretch of Iowa Street between 19th Street and Bob Billings Parkway almost daily, and we’ve monitored construction of the two new dorms on Daisy Hill all year.

this activity cease and desist, and the buildings stay green. I had to admire his pluck. But you can see why I wasn’t optimistic when I heard McCollum would be coming down.

Navigators help Kansans enroll for health care before deadline By Bryan Thompson Kansas Health Institute

Since enrollment opened Nov. 1 for 2016 health insurance in the federal marketplace, an effort called Cover Kansas has branched out across the state to help Kansans find a plan that best suits their needs. At a recent outreach event at the Dodge City Public Library, most of the chairs in the public meeting room were full as people waited for the consultations with marketplace navigators. Don and Louise

Tawzer, of Dodge City, signed up for insurance through healthcare.gov last year, after Don retired from the job that had furnished their health coverage. But he turned 65 this spring, so he’s now on Medicare. Louise isn’t there yet, so she needs coverage in 2016 through the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare. “We’re looking at roughly $1,200 more a year next year for the same plan, according to the letter we got from Blue Cross Blue Shield,” Don Tawzer said. “There

may not be anything available, but we just want to look and see if there’s something that’ll help.” The Tawzers sat down with health insurance navigator Lyn Weatherhead, from the Southwest Kansas Area Agency on Aging. “What we can do is just go through, without putting any of your information in, go in and take a look at the plans that they offer, based on your income, and just see what there is available,” Weatherhead said. After reviewing their options, the Tawzers

concluded that Louise’s current policy is probably their best option — even though the premiums will be nearly $100 a month higher than this year. “Because of our income, we do have some help with the credit on your taxes, or whatever they call it. So, if we didn’t have that, it would be considerably higher,” Don Tawzer said. About 80 percent of the people who buy insurance through the federal marketplace get some level of premium tax credit. But premiums aren’t the only costs that need to be taken into account.

“The biggest cost for us has been the prescription part,” said Don Tawzer, who added that his wife’s drug costs “went up dramatically” when they left the insurance through his former employer. Another important consideration is the cost of co-payments, co-insurance and deductibles. Don Tawzer said there’s a limit to the out-of-pocket costs his wife is required to pay per year — but it’s around $5,000. Those expenses also are a big concern for Joe Please see ENROLL, page 2C

Gabe: This is a tough situation. When communication breaks down, it’s hard to make progress. We’re wired to take in information from each other when making decisions. The issue you bring up with your son is no different. Working on scarce data can make you feel helpless. Definitely schedule an appointment with a psychologist. I know you said talk therapy is off the table, but that’s their job and they have probably seen many cases like this. Tell your son you would like him to try three sessions and see how it goes. It’s better than not trying to get him help at all. Depression is a disease like any other medical condition. If your son broke his arm, making his home life easier helps him out, but only a doctor can set his arm and truly heal him. Trust that the professionals will do well, and you’ve done your job. Other than this, there aren’t myriad things you can do to help him. Most are just good parenting regardless of the situation: reminding him that you care about him, visiting, or sending care packages. But because you seem well enough engaged with him to notice this behavior, it sounds like you’re already doing compassionate acts for him. Wes: I’ve a confession to make. Second only to bullying, these are about my least favorite cases and I don’t know many therapists who feel differently. Gabe is correct. It’s hard to get to the bottom of a situation when someone won’t give you a hint as to what that bottom might be or how deep it goes. On paper, your young man does seem to have several signs of depression — lethargy, lack of interest, sleeping too much, maybe even withdrawal from social contact. However, many health providers make depression their first stop on the diagnosis train, whether it fits the larger context of the client or not. It’s just too easy to diagnose depression without taking a good psychosocial history, and if readers think ADHD is over-diagnosed or over-treated, they haven’t examined the statistics on depression.

Other than that, it really doesn’t help.” Until April, the couple had health insurance that was furnished at no cost to them by Joe Ascencio’s employer. “I was insured, but I lost my job,” he said. “So I was forced to retire two years earlier. So I end up with no health insurance, no coverage, and here we are. So we had to find a solution.” Ascencio is diabetic, which without the Affordable Care Act would’ve made it challenging to get insurance

You need to work through your grief but you don’t need to focus on it all the time. Invite a friend to go to a movie or out to dinner, or volunteer to help others, by taking a meal to a homebound person, helping with a community holiday meal or visiting someone who is alone. l Know that the grieving process has no set timetable. Individuals grieve at different levels and time frames. It takes time to accept the new normal. Refrain from stating to a grieving friend, “Just get over your loss.” l Seek support.

Like the Tawzers, he appreciates the federal subsidy, which knocks the premiums down to a manageable level. “If I didn’t have any help from the federal government, I won’t be able to pay this much money, so I’d have to do without insurance,” he said. “And I’m sure there’s a lot of people out there doing exactly that, because the insurance premiums are so, so expensive.” Both families said they’re thankful to have a well-trained insurance navigator to guide them through the enrollment process and to help them understand the choices and trade-offs among the 26 coverage plans available in Kansas. — The nonprofit KHI News Service is an editorially independent initiative of the Kansas Health Institute and a partner in the Heartland Health Monitor reporting collaboration.

Hall looks more like a playground when we arrive. Like everyone else, we wait, take a photo of ourselves with McCollum behind us, watch it fall, then take the same picture again, no McCollum. Ray never does answer my question about what he thinks, but sticks to his old trick of questioning me: Why did they knock it down? What are they going to put there now? The morning’s business takes us in the opposite direction of the big dust cloud, east on Kansas Highway 10 out of town, and I see up ahead one of the bridges they are building here has finally made it all the way across. New bridges go up over the highway, old buildings on the Hill come down. I think of a snapshot I once marveled at, of my dad and uncle as young men in the late 1950s, up there when it was still just daisies. I wonder if I looked right through their ghosts this morning, hovering above the rubble with the helicopters and circling planes.

ZIA, AUDREY AND RAY COLEMAN watched McCollum Hall implode from the parking lot at Oliver Hall last Wednesday morning. I think of my wife, almost 20 years younger, living in a cinder block room on the ninth floor of a building that’s not there anymore, her future role in my life completely unknown to me. I think of my own hazy stumbles from Ellsworth to McCollum for breakfast, down in a basement cafeteria that’s now ground zero. I lay on my horn as we drive under the new bridge for the first time, and Ray saves his

Local assistance There are several ways to enroll in the Health Insurance Marketplace before the Dec. 15 deadline if you want insurance by Jan. 1, 2016. The “Enrollapalooza” insurance enrollment fair will be from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Dec. 8 at the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, 1515 SW 10th Ave., Topeka. The event is open to anyone and no appointments are required. There will be several navigators as well as Spanish interpreters at the event. Misty Kruger, public information officer with the Shawnee County Health Agency, said for those who come to the enrollment fair and find out they don’t qualify for insurance through the marketplace, there will be representatives from other agencies at the fair who may be able to provide assistance. The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, 200 Maine St., has two staff members who are trained Health Insurance Marketplace navigators, and one of them is also a Spanish interpreter. Heartland Community Health Center, 346 Maine St., also has a trained navigator on staff. Anyone interested in making an appointment with a navigator at LDCHD or Heartland can visit coverks.org and make an appointment online. They also can call the Health Department at 785-843-3060 or Heartland at 785-841-7297. The Health Department says the appointments typically take about an hour and a half and recommends that people bring these documents: l Identification (driver’s license, government ID or birth certificate) l Social Security cards for all applying and who live in tax household l Marketplace login information, if you have accessed already (must have or appointment will be rescheduled) l Access to email to confirm email address in setting up Marketplace login l Tax information or pay stubs (not mandatory)

As it is with many young people at college, your guy is way off on sleep and apparently pursuing a curriculum that isn’t meaningful enough to get him up every day to attend. If he’s also playing a lot of video games or surfing the Internet or watching Netflix all night, he’s contributing more to his own mental decline than any therapist or medication can counter.

Wed? But we’ve only just met In a delicious irony, the reality series “Married at First Sight” (8 p.m., A&E and FYI, TV-14) premieres on the same night as the second season premiere of “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce” (9 p.m., Bravo, TV14). It’s kismet! “First Sight” throws away the contrived notions of choice and attraction celebrated on phony series like “The Bachelor.” Here, the six contestants seeking their one true love and soul mate for life submit to the machinations of four complete strangers who happen to be relationship specialists. In a twist that may seem entertaining to some and horrifying to the rest of us, the identities of both halves of each lucky couple will remain a mystery until their wedding day. It’s a little like “The Dating Game” crossed with a medieval arranged marriage. Isn’t that romantic? For the uninitiated, “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce” stars Lisa Edelstein (“House”) as a relationship expert and successful author whose marriage goes south, threatening her publishing deals and self-esteem while sending her into the unfamiliar waters of singledom among a self-centered crowd in Los Angeles. “Divorce” debuted last year as Bravo’s very first scripted series. Like almost everything on Bravo, it’s not as clever as it thinks it is. But it’s Shakespeare compared to “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” (8 p.m., TV-14).

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Addition of Diallo makes this Self’s best We never will know what shape last season would have taken for the Kansas University basketball team had Devonté Graham not missed six consecutive games from the middle of December through the first week of January with an injury. I still wonder whether KU coach Bill Self would have started Frank Mason and Graham and turned talented freshman Kelly Oubre Jr. into a sixth man. Watching the way Kansas plays now with two small guards makes it a safe assumption that it would have been last season’s best lineup as well had Graham never been sidelined. This year’s team is so much faster and cleaner than the squad that was bounced from the NCAA tournament in the second round by Wichita State, 78-65. Mason and Graham have combined for 48 assists with just 10 turnovers in 297 minutes. “That’s pretty good,” Self said of the tandem’s 4.8-to-1 assists-turnovers ratio. “From a steals standpoint, you play two little guys who can create a little bit more havoc, I think you should run through more passes and do some more things like that. And we’re playing so much faster than what we ever have since I’ve been here.” The numbers back up the coach’s word. Kenpom.com tracks a statistic called “adjusted tempo” and ranks Kansas 30th in the nation, which is second only to Iowa State (24th) among schools ranked in the top 25. Kansas takes a 93.4-point scoring average into tonight’s anticipated blowout victory against Loyola Maryland. “I feel like this is who we can be, this is who we are and we can just keep going like that,” junior Wayne Selden said when asked if the team can maintain such a fast pace throughout a long season. All five Kansas starters can handle the ball at high speeds, so the team doesn’t have to worry about getting the ball to a specific ballhandler to start fastbreaks. Plus, as Selden pointed out, the team’s fastest player with the ball, the 5-foot11 Mason, also happens to be a terrific defensive rebounder. Believe it or not, Mason is tied with Landen Lucas for the team lead with 22 defensive rebounds. When Cheick Diallo subs in for Jamari Traylor or Perry Ellis, that’s one less player who can bring the ball up the court in transition, but getting five bodies down court won’t fall off at all. “(Diallo) will make us even faster, make us a better rebounding team, being able to get the ball off the rim and get going,”

KANSAS FORWARD CHEICK DIALLO GIVES A PLAYFUL SHOVE TO TEAMMATE WAYNE SELDEN JR. BEFORE TIPOFF on Monday, Nov. 23 at Lahaina Civic Center in Lahaina, Hawaii. Diallo will see his first game action tonight after being declared eligible by the NCAA last week.

Self seeks energy off bench from Diallo By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self envisions an epic Allen Fieldhouse roar when Cheick Diallo enters tonight’s KU-Loyola game. It’s time for the long-awaited collegiate debut of the 6-foot-9 Mali freshman, who missed two exhibitions and the first five regular-season contests as he awaited clearance by the NCAA Eligibility Center. “I think our crowd is going to go nuts whenever he’s first checking in the game,” Self said of the MVP of last spring’s McDonald’s AllAmerica and Jordan Brand Classic high school all-star games. “He won’t start,” Self added, noting he’ll open with Perry Ellis, Jamari Traylor, Wayne Selden Jr., Devonté Graham and Frank Mason III. “It would be great to have him get ample minutes and have a chance to play through some mistakes like every-

body else has had a chance to. He’s goWho: Loyola ing to have to Maryland earn it (min(1-5) vs. utes) like evKansas (4-1) erybody else When: 7 is going to tonight have to earn Where: Allen it. But he does give us an elFieldhouse ement that I TV: TWCSC (WOW! chan- think by January or Februnels 37, ary could be 226) pretty important down the stretch,” Self added. Diallo admits his emotions will be riding high for the 7 p.m. tip, especially when he receives a super-loud ovation upon coming off the bench. “Tomorrow it’s going crazy because a lot of people are coming to support me,” Diallo said. “Even a lot of people tweet me, ‘Oh Cheick we can’t wait.’ A lot of people text me, ‘We can’t wait for tomorrow.’ I’m so excited.” He’s been in especially great spirits since learning

UP NEXT

last week at the Maui Invitational that the NCAA cleared him for the Loyola game. “I was just so excited. I cannot even sleep,” Diallo said. “I was up all night (in Maui). I am thinking, ‘Wow I’m going to play this year.’ It’s kind of like I’m dreaming. “This is my first game in college. I have to be so excited. I’ve got to bring everything I’ve got. I want to bring everything to make my team win tomorrow,” Diallo added. Asked what he brings to the table, Diallo, whose favorite player is Blake Griffin said: “Right now, rebound, block shots, run the floor, dunking on people. Before I used to do a lot of forced moves (inside). Now I’m improving my jump shot. I’m improving my free throws. “I just have to make my team good. It’s not ‘Cheick make 40 points or 20 points.’ Now I’m not going to do that. I want to do whatever makes my team look good and win every single game.” Diallo wants to please his

teammates and coaches more than anything else. That’s why he texts Self often. “I text him every time. I just want to prove ... I ask him what he wants me to do. ‘Do you want me to get a rebound like that? Do you want me to score like that?’ I keep asking him because I want to get better. “I want to learn from my mistakes. I want to keep asking, ‘Do you want to give me some details what I’m supposed to do to improve my game?’’’ Self doesn’t mind the correspondence. “I have players that text me, but no, Cheick’s the only one,” Self said of players constantly seeking feedback via their phones. “It’s a little different. Cheick — he has buddies on the team — but for the most part he doesn’t have somebody else to go talk to. He doesn’t have a girlfriend, at least that I know of, and he doesn’t have buddies to hang Please see HOOPS, page 3D

Cleveland (ap) — The Ravens finally got a break that didn’t mean they were losing another player. Will Hill returned a blocked field goal 64 yards for a touchdown as time expired, giving Baltimore a 33-27 win Monday night over the luckless Cleveland Browns, who lost their sixth straight game along with starting quarterback Josh McCown. Travis Coons lined up to kick a potential game-winning 51-yard field goal with 3 seconds to go for the Browns (29), but it was deflected by defensive end Brent Urban, who was playing his first NFL game for the injury-riddled Ravens (4-7). Hill scooped it up and rumbled down the left sideline for an improbable win, stunning a Cleveland crowd which moments earlier was ready to celebrate. Ravens quarterback Matt Schaub, making his first start since 2013, threw two touchdown passes. McCown injured his collarbone in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Austin Davis, whose 42-yard TD pass to Travis Benjamin tied it with 1:47 remaining. The Browns appeared to be in position to pull out a comeback win after cornerback Tramon Williams intercepted Schaub with 50 seconds left at Baltimore’s 46. But as Cleveland attempted to get closer for Coons, Davis wasted valuable time because of a communication issue with the sideline and the QB couldn’t get out of bounds after a scramble, forcing the Browns to call a timeout. But as Coons, who was 18 for 18 this season, lined up for his long kick, it appeared the Ravens were on their way to another close loss. All 11 of Baltimore’s games have been decided by less than eight points, and the Ravens have been on the wrong side of most of those. However, Urban got some penetration on the line and got his hand on Coon’s low kick. Hill took it from there, finding his way to the end zone. Schaub finished 20 of 34 for 232 yards and his first TDs since Dec. 23, 2013.

Holiday shakeup at bottom of AP Top 25

since there was a tie for 25th last week, six teams dropped out. All the new teams were ranked as late as last season, and two of those that fell had long streaks of being in the Top 25. Syracuse was the highest of the newcomers at 14th. The Orange, who beat ranked teams Connecticut and Texas A&M in winning the Battle 4 Atlantis, is the 14th team to enter the poll at that position or higher since the poll expanded to 25 in 1989-90. The jump-in wasn’t even a record for Syracuse. In December 2009, the Orange went from unranked to No. 10 and went on to reach No. 1 for week before finishing fourth in the final poll. The record for a jump-in is Kansas in November 1989. The Jayhawks moved in at No. 5 after wins over No. 1 UNLV, No. 2 LSU and No. 25 St. John’s in the Preseason NIT. The other newcomers this week are: No. 20 West Virginia, No. 23 Providence, No. 24 Louisville and No. 25 Baylor. Baylor returned to the rankings after being out for one week. See ya: Wichita State dropped to 2-4 with losses to Southern California, Alabama and Iowa in the AdvoCare Invitational. That sent the Shockers out of the Top 25 from their perch at No. 20. The Shockers had the fourth-longest current streak of consecutive poll appearances at 42, a run that started with the preseason Top 25 of 2013-14. The Shockers were ranked was No. 2 for four weeks in that season. Indiana, which lost to Wake Forest and UNLV at the Maui Jim Maui Invitational, had the biggest drop, falling out from No. 13. Conference call: Of the five newcomers to the poll, four are or were a member of the “old” Big East. Providence is still a member of the basketball-centric league while Syracuse, West Virginia and Louisville all are former members. Current members Villanova and Xavier are in the rankings along with former members Cincinnati and Miami. That was some conference. The Big 12 has Kansas, Iowa State and Oklahoma at Nos. 4-6. The ACC has Duke, North Carolina and Virginia in the Top Ten. KANSAS FOOTBALL

RON BAKER AND WICHITA STATE are among the teams falling out of the Top 25 after 42 weeks in the rankings. sas University fullback who played for football coach Glen Mason from 1989-91, passed away unexpectedly Monday morning after returning home from a run. He was 46. Robben, a math teacher at Augusta High, coached most recently as an assistant at Bishop Carroll High in Wichita and helped lead Carroll to last weekend’s Class 5A state championship game. He also spent time as the head football coach at Remington, Buehler, Goddard and Augusta. Before moving on to KU, Robben earned AllCity League honors in 1986 as a linebacker and running back at Carroll. With the Jayhawks, he led the Big Eight Conference in tackles in 1989 and twice received All-Big Eight honorable mention honors. COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Lions’ Bledsoe, Wedd earn top league honors J-W Staff Reports

Lawrence High senior lineman Amani Bledsoe was named the Sunflower League’s Andre Maloney Most Valuable Player and LHS football coach Dirk Wedd earned Coach of the Year honors after leading the Lions to a 10-1 record and the school’s first league title since 1993. Bledsoe highlighted a group of eight city players who earned first-team all-league selections, which included LHS senior lineman Trey Georgie, tight end/linebacker Price Morgan, running back J.D. Woods, cornerback Ivan Hollins, punter Alan Clothier, Free State senior quarterback/free safety Bryce Torneden and running back/linebacker Sam Skwarlo. Bledsoe, Georgie, Morgan, Torneden and Skwarlo were first team picks on both sides of the ball. Free State tight end/ defensive lineman Darian Lewis, offensive lineman Tanner Liba, offensive lineman Chase Houk, receiver Zack Sanders, linebacker Jay Dineen, and Lawrence punt returner Dante’ Jackson and kicker Cole Brungardt were chosen for the second team. The following LHS players earned an honorable mention: Clothier (quarterback), Trey Moore (running back), Nate Koehn (defensive line), Tanner Green (linebacker), Konner Kelley (linebacker), Luke Padia (receiver), J’Mony Bryant (receiver) and Jacob Unruh (defensive line).

out in fraternity houses he can go hang with. He’s got his boys on his team and he got his coaches. So, naturally, we get a little more discussion with him than probably what we would if it was one of the other players that’s been here two or three years.” Self predicts big things for Diallo, who told Self he wasn’t nervous during Sunday’s practice, but suddenly did become jittery thinking about his first game during Monday’s practice. “If he’s healthy he’s going to be an NBA AllStar,” Self said. “I mean he’s that good.” But that’s down the line. “I think that we should temper expectations a little bit,” Self said, “because he’s going to be terrific, but he’s very, very raw, and he’s just starting to figure it out, but he’ll do fine. He’ll be active and energetic and somewhat confused, maybe, from time to time, because he’ll be so excited.” l

Volleyball ended the regular season with a program-record .312 hitting percentage, which ranks fourth nationally, and a program-record 15.4 kills per set, which ranks second nationally. The Jayhawks have been ranked in the top 10 for eight-straight weeks with an NCAA RPI in the top 10 all season. Bechard reached 300 wins this season and takes 320 victories into the NCAA tournament, where the Jayhawks have a No. 9 national seed. Payne enters postseason play as the Big 12’s leader in kills per set (4.32). She is the only player in the country to rank top-50 in both hitting percentage, 32nd, and kills per set, 26th. Havili and Payne are two of seven unanimous first-team selections. Soucie recorded 100 blocks for third consecutive season, moving up to sixth on KU’s career blocks list as a junior with 373. Sophomore outside hitter Madison Rigdon was named All-Big 12 Second Team. Kansas faces Furman in the first round of the NCAA tournament at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday at the Horejsi Center.

Chiefs’ injuries piling up

KANSAS SOPHOMORE AINISE HAVILI MAKES A SET against Texas on Nov. 11 at the Horejsi Center. Havili was named Big 12 Setter of the Year on Monday. Amy Neal of Texas was named Big 12 Player of the Year, while Iowa State’s Caitlin Nolan and

Jess Schaben were named Big 12 Libero of the Year and Big 12 Freshman of the Year.

first attributes mentioned about Diallo by those who have seen him play. “That’s what I’ve been doing all my life, I just like to run,” Diallo said. “Fastbreak, catch a rebound, give to point guard, be the first one to run inside. I like to do that every time.” At media day in October, Diallo said, “I don’t get tired. I don’t know

why. I played soccer when I was younger, so that’s helping me right now.” Sounds like a perfect fit for Kansas to keep the pedal to the metal, even though he inevitably will stumble along the way because he’s a freshman and that’s what rookies do. — Tom Keegan appears on The Drive, Sunday nights on WIBW-TV.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Chiefs were quickly running out of offensive linemen as one by one they went down with injuries, and for the briefest of moments, Andy Reid might have thought he’d need to suit up himself. Hey, it’s only been 34 years since the coach played for BYU. The Chiefs ultimately got by with Jeff Allen, hurt earlier in Sunday’s game against Buffalo, getting back on the field. But things could be dicey going forward after left tackle Eric Fisher hurt his neck and center Mitch Morse sustained a concussion in the 30-22 victory. To say nothing of the knee injury to Justin Houston. The All-Pro pass rusher went down when he was tripped by his own teammate while chasing a play in the first half Sunday. He lay face-down on the field while trainers tended to him, then was helped to the sideline and into the locker room. He was seen limping out of it after the game. Reid indicated the injury is similar to one Houston sustained in a playoff loss to the Colts nearly two years ago. In that case, it was a strained knee ligament — depending on the severity of it, such an injury can sideline a player anywhere from two weeks to half a season.

In the midst of a playoff chase, the Chiefs (6-5) visit Oakland on Sunday and are hopeful Houston will be back soon. “He’s going to get an MRI today,” Reid said Monday. “I don’t want to put anything out there. Let’s see how that is how bad it is, and go from there. I think he’s doing OK.” The Chiefs have rebounded from a 1-5 start in part because they have been better than other teams at dealing with injuries. Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles was lost for the season to his own knee injury, while offensive lineman Ben Grubbs remains sidelined by a neck injury. Several other starters have missed time, including running back Charcandrick West, who had started since Charles went down but missed Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury. “That’s one thing I like about my team. We find a way to persevere,” said Spencer Ware, who ran for 114 yards and a touchdown in his first start. “With Jamaal going down and then Charcandrick going down, our whole team is filled with people that prepare like they are the guy, so when the time comes they’re able to step in. And that’s what we do.” That’s what the Chiefs did along the offensive line on Sunday. Reid said he would

have slid a tight end or defensive lineman into the game ahead of himself if the Chiefs ran out of offensive linemen. But with injuries mounting on the defense line, Reid also acknowledged that “we were a little low there, too.” “You can’t say enough,” said Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, who was sacked just once but did not lose any yardage on it. “Three injuries, moving the line around, playing different positions and still being able to get it done really speaks to their depth.” Reid has been in this position before, during his final year in Philadelphia. But he is confident that Kansas City has more depth than the Eagles did back then, when injuries conspired to send them to a 4-12 record and Reid was fired after 14 seasons. “I’m always going to tell you, (general manager) John Dorsey and his crew do a phenomenal job of bringing these guys in,” Reid said. “You’re looking at guys with big hearts.” Not to mention a team that, despite its ailments, is in the thick of the playoff hunt. “It’s one of those things, next man up,” Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said. “Coach Reid holds us to a high level, everybody across the board, second and third string, offense and defense.”
