THE FORMER SITE OF PACHAMAMAS, located at the southeast corner of Eighth and New Hampshire streets, bottom right in photo, will serve as the base on which four floors of apartments will be added. A tax exemption on construction materials was approved for the project at Tuesday’s City Commission meeting.

The development group behind a planned apartment building at 800 New Hampshire Street will receive a sales tax exemption on construction materials for the project. The Lawrence City Commission voted 3-2 on Tuesday to approve the incentive, which is estimated to save the development group approximately $317,000 on the almost $7 million remodel.

Action postponed on Jazz arch

THE OWNER OF CAJUN-INSPIRED RESTAURANT JAZZ, 1012 Massachusetts St., wants to put a wrought-iron archway in front of the restaurant. City planners, however, say the arch runs afoul of the city’s Downtown Design Guidelines.

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The installation of a piece of New Orleans’ French Quarter aesthetic will continue to be debated at City Hall. City commissioners on Tuesday unanimously decided to delay voting on a request to allow the installation of a wrought-iron archway in front of Jazz, a Louisiana-inspired Cajun and creole restaurant that opened in October at 1012

Massachusetts St. City planners and the city’s Historic Resources Commission previously denied the request. Planners said the arch — which would be used as the entrance to the restaurant’s sidewalk dining area — did not meet the city’s Downtown Design Guidelines, which call for railings and barriers to “reflect the character of the area.” Please see ARCH, page 2A

Plan for drone rules irks aerospace prof K

ansas University is in the process of creating a policy to clamp down on drone use on campus, and at least one aerospace engineering professor has big concerns about it. For one, said Ron Barrett-Gonzalez, a professor of aerospace engineering who has patented multiple drones, none of KU’s aerospace faculty — KU’s experts on drones — were consulted. “The policy itself has really, really serious problems,” said Barrett-Gonzalez, who brought up the issue at Tuesday’s Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting. “It’ll allow the flight of dangerous items while disallowing the flight of harmless aircraft ... It’ll hamper research really unnecessarily. It’ll violate academic freedom.” KU Public Affairs initiated the policy, intended to ensure operators had the proper FAA approval before flying drones on campus, said Amy Smith, KU Policy Office Director. “They became very concerned when there were drones flying over commencement.” Deans, provosts and department chairs were informed about the proposed UAS — or unmanned aerial systems — policy via email and invited to share feedback, according to an email provided by Barrett-Gonzalez. The draft policy at this point does not contain an effective date. The policy would require anyone wishing to operate a UAS on or over campus to get prior written approval from KU, according to a draft proposal. The proposed policy

says UAS operators must demonstrate “a baseline level of proficiency in takeoff, landing and maneuvering.” It specifies that operators must comply with all applicable FAA, state and local laws. And it says KU has the right to “immediately terminate” the operation of a UAS that interferes with campus operations, poses hazards to people or facilities, or has not received proper approval. Barrett-Gonzalez said he believes the proposed policy would infringe on personal freedom — including campus visitors who just want to fly tiny toy drones for fun in an open area — and that unnecessary “encumbrances” would violate the academic freedom of faculty and students working on drones. He also said he believes the policy would duplicate regulatory functions of the FAA. Barrett-Gonzalez suggested disbanding the policy committee, forming a new one with the Aerospace Engineering Department chairman at the helm, and starting over on the policy.

that if the project were denied, commissioners would be working against their own policies. As is, Lawrence’s economic development policy states residential infill projects and projects located downtown meet the criteria for exemption. Amyx asked that the commission talk early next year about any desired changes to the city’s incentives policy. “We have a written policy that says we want people to look at these kind of projects in our downtown. They’re following our process,” Amyx said. “If we want a change in the public incentive policy, we need to have that discussion, separate from this.” Amyx also asked that the commission soon have an in-depth discussion about downtown parking — an issue that sparked debate Tuesday among commissioners and residents of the neighborhood who spoke to the commission. Plans for the apartment project at 800 New Hampshire St. include the addition of only eight parking spaces. Tuesday’s vote allows the city to apply for an exemption certificate through the Kansas Department of Revenue. An ordinance to officially issue the bonds will require another vote from the City Commission, but that step is typically treated as a formality.

Arch

Scott McCullough, the city’s planning director, said that an approval of the arch would guide city staff to interpret the Downtown Design Guidelines differently than in the past. With future requests, staff would be directed to view entryways as separate from railings and barriers, he said. Mayor Mike Amyx asked to defer the vote until the Dec. 8 City Commission meeting so he could further study the issue. “I have to think about this,” Amyx said. “I don’t want to create a monster for our staff, but this gentleman should be able to have some form of an artsy arch.

Kansas wheat

Grill CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The duo told me the restaurant will be a classic American grill, and one of the features of the business will be the old building itself. The Round Corner building, if you don’t know, is located at the southwest corner of Eighth and Massachusetts. The building dates back to 1866, and for most of those years it housed a drug store. When Round Corner Drug closed in 2009, it was the longest running pharmacy in the state. Marten and Springs wanted to play up some of that history. The pair had an approximately 20-foot long mural commissioned for an inside

wall of the restaurant. The mural is based off of a 1911 photo that shows Woodard Drug store on the corner and a trolley vehicle in the street. “We really wanted to create a design that highlights the building,” Springs said. “It is such a great building and we wanted to do something that was a bit of tribute to what has been here before.” During the remodeling process, crews actually found an old porcelain sign advertising Round Corner Drug. It will be incorporated into the building’s interior. The interior has undergone some changes since it was last used as Intorno, a short-lived Italian restaurant. The duo has added a new bar in the center of the room and rearranged some other spaces. The pair hopes to

create a casual atmosphere but something more upscale than your traditional sports bar and grill. In fact, they have a specific feel in mind. “It is a restaurant, but we also really want it to feel like a hotel lobby bar where you can feel comfortable hanging out,” Springs said. As for the food and drink at RND Corner Grille, the bar will have 16 taps of beer, with a heavy emphasis on craft brews. Four of the taps will be seasonal. Classic cocktails and a selection of wines also will be offered. I didn’t get to see the full menu, but I’m told it includes a variety of sandwiches — a dish called Grandma’s Chicken Salad Sandwich is included — but there’s also some dishes that are a bit beyond the normal grill menu. For example, the appetizer

menu includes a spread of smoked trout, and several entrees feature salmon, duck and trout. The restaurant has hired Danny White, a former chef from The Capital Grille, to run the food operations. Prices are expected to be about $9 to $15 for lunch and about $12 to $25 for dinner. Eventually, the pair — which operate Coal Vine on the Country Club Plaza and Westport Ale House in Kansas City — plan to offer a weekend brunch menu too. “We’re going to work really hard to create the right atmosphere,” said Marten, who is familiar with Lawrence through his time as an undergrad and a law student at KU. “You can have a good meal with no ambiance, but when you have a good meal with good ambiance it really makes

the experience so much better.” Look for one significant change in 2016 that will add a different feel to the restaurant. Marten said the business has won approval from the city to install tilt-up windows along the north wall of the restaurant. The tilt-up windows will allow free flow between the indoor space and the sidewalk dining area on the north side — the Eighth Street side — of the building. The group tried to win the same approvals for the eastside windows that front along Massachusetts Street, but that proposal didn’t meet the city’s design guidelines for the historic district. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday on LJWorld.com.

Admiral tells KU students why they should care about the Pacific By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark_ljw

Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr., commander of the United States Pacific Command, helped Kansas University students understand why they should care about the Pacific â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as potential threats to the country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in a talk Tuesday morning at KU. Among his topics for the crowd of nearly 100 attendees were U.S. â&#x20AC;&#x153;rebalancingâ&#x20AC;? efforts in the Pacific, threats posed by North Korea and China, and

how students in the audience could be better leaders. Of the admiralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 37 years in the Navy, he said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent about 42 percent of his time beyond the contiguous United States, and he enjoys being overseas. Harris said the Pacific Command area of responsibility covers about 52 percent of the planet. He commands more than 350,000 military and civilian personnel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My relatives in Tennessee always ask me about, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why should I care about the Pacific?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said.

He answered the question using a world map with a circle encompassing an area with boundaries west of India, south of the Indonesian islands, east of Japan and north to southern Russia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About half the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population lives there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By 2050, 70 percent of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population will be in that circle.â&#x20AC;? Using another map, Harris explained to the students which of the countries are U.S.

Trial for downtown sex assault continued By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark_ljw

The trial for a 53-yearold Lawrence man charged with aggravated sexual battery and aggravated criminal sodomy has been continued. Carlton M. Grass appeared for a status hearing with his attorney, Angela Keck, Tuesday afternoon. Keck is the third attorney to represent Grass — his first, Adam Hall, withdrew from the case in February, and his second, Gerald Wells, withdrew in July. Grass’ trial had previously been set for May and November. At the hearing today, Douglas Grass County District Judge Sally Pokorny said she understood the case is awaiting a full pre-trial investigation. Keck said she and her client believe getting Grass’ full and accurate criminal history is necessary, and could potentially affect the outcome of the case. Assistant District Attorney Eve Kemple said at the hearing that based on an email she received, requests have been sent to two counties — one in Minnesota and one in California — seeking further information on Grass’ background. Grass is accused of sexually assaulting a woman who was “highly intoxicated” to the point of being incapacitated in downtown Lawrence in June 2014. Grass left the state following the alleged assault, but was apprehended in Oklahoma and extradited to Kansas in September, the Journal-World previously reported. Grass remains in the Douglas County Jail on a $50,000 bond. His next hearing is scheduled for 1:15 p.m. Dec. 16. At that hearing, trial will likely be scheduled.

Distinguished prof lecture this week Rolfe Mandel, distinguished professor of anthropology at Kansas University, will deliver his inaugural distinguished professor lecture this week. The lecture, “The Peopling of the Central Great Plains Near the End of the Last Ice Age: A Geoarchaeological and Paleoecological Perspective,” is planned for 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the Summerfield Room of the Adams Alumni Center. Mandel, who has been at KU since 2003, was named university distinguished professor in 2014. He is executive director of the Odyssey Geoarchaeological Research Program at Kansas Geological Survey. Over the past 35 years Mandel has worked on projects looking at the effects of geologic processes on the archaeological record throughout the United States and eastern Mediterranean, according to an announcement from KU.

2 charged in home burglary, car theft By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark_ljw

Two Lawrence residents have been charged in connection with a burglary and use of a stolen financial card over the weekend. Billy Joe Johnson, 38, and Amanda Irene Dillingham, 27, allegedly stole a purse from an unlocked residence in the 700 block of East 1100 Road south of Lawrence while the residents inside were asleep on Saturday night, said Sgt. Kristen Dymacek, spokeswoman for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. The two then allegedly stole a Volkswagen from the driveway. Dymacek said that Johnson and Dillingham then used credit cards from the stolen purse at several Lawrence businesses. She said they were recognized at a business on Sunday and were arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary, criminal use of a financial card and possession of stolen property. The vehicle was returned

school board Vice President Marcel Harmon and Director of Human Resources David Cunningham met the following day and decided to send the requests for proposals to several search firms, Sanburn said. At the school board’s public meeting on Monday, it will review the proposals, which will include the cost to hire each firm, as part of its decision. Sanburn said that having the proposals will help the board make a more informed decision on whether to hire a firm. The cost of using a firm has been estimated at about $30,000, which would come from the district’s general fund. Sanburn said the board will grapple with whether that cost is worth it. “We’ll weigh that cost against the benefit of whether it will help us find someone more qualified and better to lead our district,” she said. Sanburn said hiring a good replacement for

to its owner. HyVee, Kwik Shop and Walgreens are the businesses cited as witnesses in court documents. In Johnson’s first court appearance Tuesday, he was charged with aggravated burglary, burglary of a motor vehicle, five counts of felony theft and three counts of criminal use of a credit card. Douglas County Assistant District Attorney Katy Britton told Judge Pro Tem James T. George that Johnson has an extensive criminal history, including several felonies, and was on parole with the Kansas Department of Corrections as of a few days prior to the alleged incident. Britton said Johnson had been arrested 15 times in Douglas County since 2011. If convicted on all counts, he could be sentenced to serve up to 250 months, or almost 21 years. Dillingham is charged with three counts of felony theft, having been convicted of theft two or more times previously,

and one count of criminal use of a financial card. Britton said Dillingham had been arrested five times in Douglas County since 2012 for failures to appear in court and has previously been convicted of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. She has also had a status of “absconder” with the Kansas Department of Corrections since September. If convicted, she could be sentenced to serve a maximum of 63 months, or just more than five years. Johnson is being held on a $75,000 bond, and Dillingham is being held on a $30,000 bond. If either is able to make bond, they are not to have contact with each other or with any victims or witnesses in the case. Both Johnson and Dillingham are scheduled to appear in court again at 2 p.m. Thursday. George appointed Lawrence attorneys Jim Rumsey to represent Johnson, and Skip Griffy to represent Dillingham.

Doll is vital to the district and to continuing the policy work of the school board. “I think our board is good at policy government rather than trying to actively get involved in the micromanagement of schools,” she said, adding that Doll was good at working with the board to make those high-level decisions. “In order to do that and have a healthily functioning district you have to have a leader that is capable and confident.” The board elected to hire a firm for the last superintendent search, when Superintendent Randy Weseman announced in 2008 that he would retire. Cunningham told board members last week that hiring a firm to aid in the process was typical for a district of Lawrence’s size. The district has 20 schools, a college and career center, a virtual school and about 12,000 students overall. Regardless of which process the board chooses, it will gather information — likely by focus groups or community feedback sessions — about the ideal characteristics that the community

would like to see in the next superintendent, Sanburn said. “The benefit of using a firm would be to advertise more widely and really look for candidates that support those characteristics,” she said. The timeline for posting the superintendent position is hastened by the fact that application deadlines are mid-January for other districts in the region also hiring superintendents, Cunningham explained after the board’s meeting last week. That means delaying posting the position would likely narrow the number of qualified candidates. Sanburn said that with the short timeline in mind, the board hopes to post the position before the end of December. If the board decides next week to hire a search firm, it will likely vote on which firm to hire at its meeting on Dec. 14, she said. The next school board meeting will be 7 p.m. Dec. 7 at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive. — K-12 education reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314.

“We are all the sum of our experiences — that’s who I am,” Brown said. Brown, who was born in Philadelphia and grew up in Grandview, Mo., said he was a first-generation college student from a low-income family. He said he went to college underprepared but found support that helped him succeed. Brown received his bachelor’s degree in finance and master’s degree in college student personnel administration from the University of Central Missouri, and his doctorate in educational leadership and policy from the University of Missouri. “My philosophy as an educator is to change lives through the opportunity of education,” he said. Regarding recruitment and retention, Brown suggested expanding the OMA’s Hawk Link program for first-year students and adding summertime pre-college residential programs where students would live in dorms and take some classes. “They get the experience that a lot of students that are underprepared desperately need,” he said. He said even simple things such as sending a student a formal certificate in the mail when they’re accepted to KU could help create an early connection, as could outreach events for young children living in target cities to encourage in them a sense of “collegegoing behavior.” “You can’t wait until students get to campus to engage them and get them involved,” Brown said. “You’ve got to go to them.” Brown suggested involving KU alumni from underrepresented groups in recruitment and retention, too, calling them “our biggest advocates.” Brown said it would be a priority for him to ensure the OMA is studentcentered. Overall, he stressed the importance of collaborating with community partners inside and outside of KU, including faculty of all colors who are willing

2005 to 2014. Harris said the former Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping preached strategic patience and keeping a low profile, but when President Xi Jinping was elected in 2012, that changed quickly. “They changed from being a nation of patience to a nation in a hurry,” he said. Harris discussed the United States’ rebalancing efforts in the Pacific, which include political, military, economic and diplomatic components. He said the military is the most visible component, but the economic one is the most important. “The rebalance is about

us. It’s about the United States and what we believe in and the values we hold dear,” Harris said. After his briefing, he gave students a chance to ask questions and offered some advice. Of the approximately 75 ROTC students in attendance, about 10 were of the Marines ROTC; the rest were split between Army and Navy ROTC. “You have to think jointly. The fact that you’re all in this room together, and that you’re in the same building across the street over there, I think it gets you thinking jointly early,” Harris said. “It’s important. It’s the way we are structured, and it puts us

at an advantage over other countries.” One student asked Harris what leadership advice he could give them. “You can’t do it alone,” Harris responded. “Think about the folks who work with you and for you, and who you’re working for, and try to be a good follower before you become a leader.” KU Naval Science instructor Jesse Schrader, who was a submariner on the USS Michigan, said he thought the admiral’s visit was a great opportunity for his students, comparing it to a CEO visiting a business school. “The CEO comes to talk to the business (stu-

to step up and be mentors to students from marginalized groups. Brown suggested events such as heritage celebrations and speakers “to create a culture of consciousness, provide intellectual activities and serve as a champion for social justice” — describing it as the university’s “duty” to educate about power, privilege and other injustices. He also said it was critical to have evidence that what the office does is working. Brown said he has a special connection to KU: In addition to being from the nearby Kansas City area, Brown’s late twin brother, Anthony Brown, played football at KU and earned his degree here in 2005. At Arizona State, Brown is responsible for leadership of the federally funded TRiO program for low-income and first-generation students as well as students with disabilities. Previously he was coordinator of the Academic Excellence Program in the College of Engineering at Auburn University, where he also developed and implemented a threeweek residential pre-college enrichment program for first-generation minority students. From 2009 to 2012, Brown was academic coordinator for the Gaines/ Oldham Black Culture Center at the University of Missouri.

The suggested topic for finalists to address in their presentations is “Strategic Leadership at KU’s Office of Multicultural Affairs.” The next OMA director will replace Blane Harding, who left KU in May and took a job at the University of Nevada, Reno.

This is how I got to my current position,’” Schrader said. “So I think the same thing applies for an admiral to come talk to students and say, jointly, this is where we need to go, and it brings them all together.” Schrader said he was pleased with the “good showing” of students. “They brought a good number of questions, so they came prepared and eager to engage with the admiral — not just sit there and observe, but to ask; probe,” he said. — Reporter Mackenzie Clark can be reached at mclark@ljworld.com or 832-7198.

Sen. Arpke draws Democrat challenger By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Saline County Clerk Don Merriman announced Tuesday that he plans to challenge Sen. Tom Arpke, R-Salina, in the 2016 elections. Arpke, who previously served in the House, was among the group of conservatives who, with backing from Gov. Sam Brownback and the Kansas Chamber, helped give conservatives control of the Senate by unseating a sitting moderate Republican, former Sen. Pete Brungardt, in the 2012 GOP primary. “I felt like somebody needs to get into the Senate to help (Senate Minority Leader Anthony) Hensley bring some com-

mon sense to the state,” Merriman said in a telephone interview. “I’ve been a county clerk for 16 years, so I know what state government has done to county governments.” Merriman made his formal announcement Tuesday night at a meeting of the Saline County Democratic Party. He is the second Democratic officeholder in recent weeks to announce plans to challenge a sitting Republican in the Senate. Last month, Oxford school board president Don Shimkus, who is also president of the Kansas Association of School Boards, announced he would challenge Sen. Steve Abrams of Arkan-

Medical Center’s Wichita campus. Merriman said he plans to make K-12 and higher education funding major issues in the campaign. But he said he also plans to talk about other issues, such as tax Arpke Merriman policy, Medicaid expansion and highway fundsas City in the 32nd Dis- ing. trict.

Douglas County’s Department of Public Works has selected an engineering consultant for a rural bridge replacement project and is asking county commissioners for permission to start planning the work. The entire project is estimated to cost $630,000. Commissioners will discuss the request during their weekly meeting today. The bridge is located on East 550 Road, about 15 miles west of Baldwin City, said Deputy Public Works Director Chad Voigt. It was originally built in 1935, and repair work was done in 1972 to extend its lifespan. On Nov. 4 commissioners gave the department permission to solicit

If commissioners approve the department’s contract for engineering services, CFS Engineers can begin planning the project, Voigt said. Once the plans for the project have been laid out, the department will go back to county commissioners and ask permission to bid the project out to contractors, in accordance with the county’s purchasing policy, Voigt said. Commissioners meet at 4 p.m. Wednesdays at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. A full agenda can be found at douglascountyks.org.

Revenue CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“I think the encouraging part is that individual income tax continues to grow, which is driven by withholding because of that low 4.1 percent unemployment rate,” Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said. According to Revenue Department figures, the state collected $183.6 million in individual income taxes in November, about $3 million more than the newly revised estimates. That was also $6.4 million, or 3.4 percent, more than the state collected in November 2014. Retail sales taxes also showed significant growth, at $187.8 million in November, nearly 2 percent above the estimate, and 10.4 percent more than November of last year. Much of that, however, is due to an increase in the sales tax rate that lawmakers approved earlier this year when they raised the state’s rate to 6.5 percent. Those numbers reflect sales taxes that consumers paid in October and that retailers remitted to the state in November. They do not include sales taxes from the Nov. 27 “Black Friday” holiday shopping spree. “After Governor Brownback and Republican legislators passed

the largest tax increase in Kansas history last spring and with revenue projections lowered just last month, it makes sense that state revenue receipts would be higher than estimated,” said House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs, D-Kansas City. So far, for the fiscal year that began July 1, the state has collected nearly $2.25 billion in taxes, or about one-third of a percent above the newly revised estimates and 3.1 percent more than the state had collected by this time last year. In addition to tax revenues, the Revenue Department also reported “all revenue” figures, which include nontax money streams such as interest on deposits, fund transfers and agency earnings. With those included, total revenue collections in November were $14.6 million more than the estimates.

“

of nonwage business income that exempted more than 330,000 business owners from paying any income tax. In tax year 2013, Jordan said, the Department of Revenue counted 8,666 new small-business tax filers — that is, names, Social Security numbers and business entities that had never been listed on Kansas tax returns in the past. Those filers, Jordan said, produced $486.7 million in new income in Kansas. But critics of Brownback’s tax policies have challenged those figures, noting that there are no No consensus on cause similar statistics for prior The revenue numbers years, so it’s impossible were released as Brown- to tell whether the 2013 back was meeting with numbers are above or behis Council of Economic Advisors, where agency officials credited the administration’s tax policies with spurring job growth in the state. In 2012 and 2013, at Brownback’s urging, Kansas lawmakers passed a series of massive income tax cuts, including deep cuts in tax rates and a total exemption for certain kinds

Brownback, however, said he is not backing down from his hopes to eventually eliminate all income taxes in Kansas. “I want to get everybody to zero,” Brownback said. “This is the way to create more job growth. When you create more job growth, you get wage upward pressure and you get more people being able to work and make more money. This is very good.” But employment numbers released by the Department of Revenue last month showed that overall, employment has grown only 1.2 percent in Kansas during the last 12

Wednesday, December 2, 2015 months, ranking Kansas 41st among the 50 states in job growth. Labor Department officials, however, told the Council of Economic Advisors that the biggest challenge in Kansas is not the lack of jobs but rather a shrinking labor force, which had 10,000 fewer workers in October than it did a year earlier. Meanwhile, Revenue Department officials said the next major challenge to state revenues is the burgeoning online retail industry, which allows many shoppers to escape paying sales taxes on many of their purchases. Kansas currently belongs to a multistate compact in which member states and many online businesses have agreed to collect and remit sales taxes to the customers’ home states. But Jordan noted that many states, and many online busi-

nesses, are not part of that compact. Brownback said he will urge the Kansas congressional delegation to support a uniform, nationwide sales tax law that would require all states and all online businesses to collect and remit sales taxes. — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

Small inconvenience may be hugely helpful Dear Annie: I have been an avid golf player for the past 20 years. After every Sunday game, I come home and wash the golf balls in the kitchen sink. We live in a very modest house, and other than the bathroom, the kitchen has the only other sink. I refuse to wash my golf balls in the bathroom because I use the same sink to brush my teeth. For what feels like forever now, my wife has argued that the kitchen is no place to wash things from the outside world. While I understand that it may not be the most ideal place, it is really the only option I have. My wife has now reached the point where she doesn’t even want me to play golf on Sunday anymore. I really love golfing and would hate to see it come to

this. How should I approach this with my wife? — Between a Golf Ball and a Hard Place Dear Between: Your golf balls don’t belong in the kitchen sink. You may object to washing them where you brush your teeth, but it’s hardly an improvement to wash them where you prepare your food. If you want to continue golfing without annoying your wife, we recommend a compromise. Many golf courses

Not the merriest of topics A film as provocative as its title, “Racing Extinction” (8 p.m., Animal Planet, Discovery) unfolds a little bit like a police procedural. Produced by the team behind “The Cove,” a controversial 2009 film about the mass slaughter of dolphins in Japan, “Racing” takes a global view. It details a number of aquatic species well on the way toward disappearing. Using undercover surveillance techniques including hidden cameras and false identities, the movie’s team scours China’s vast black market in endangered species, a trade, it contends, that rivals the international drug market in size and scope. Perhaps most effectively, it demonstrates the effects of mass dumping of carbon and methane on the world’s oceans. According to “Racing,” we are not merely witnessing the piecemeal extinction of one rare species after another, but possibly the death of the oceans, and of “nature” itself. This mass dying-off could rival the disappearance of the dinosaurs as an epoch-defining catastrophe, a doomsday scenario that may include the human race. Not entirely gloom and doom, “Racing” also shows what individuals, families and communities can do to slow, if not reverse, these ominous trends.

Global awareness of a very different sort is featured on “Rev Runs Around the World” (9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., Travel, TV-PG). Run-D.M.C. frontman Rev Run embarks on a new travel series with his family, showing them some of the places he performed in his hip-hop heyday. They include Kingston, Jamaica (9 p.m.) and Mexico City (9:30 p.m.).

The holidays have no shortage of reality TV competitions. Contests to find the best bakers, house decorations, choirs and “Nutcracker” performance have been the staple of holiday series for some years now. “Santa in the Barn” (8 p.m., TruTV) is such an obvious idea I can’t believe it hasn’t been done before. “Barn” brings 10 Santas from all over America to train at a Christmas fantasy camp where they will compete in North Polethemed challenges. They also have to convince folks they live and breathe “the Santa Way.” Only one red-suited, whitebearded contestant can emerge with the title of America’s Best Santa and carry home a $100,000 prize on his sleigh. Tonight’s other highlights

A serial killer with artistic

pretensions sees Miami as his “canvas” on the fall season finale of “Rosewood” (7 p.m., Fox).

It’s a small inconvenience to you, and it will make your wife happy. Dear Annie: I’ve been traveling a lot, but now I’m home for a couple of months. Right before I left for my last trip, I met “Alec” and we clicked immediately. The problem is, we come from very different cultures and are looking for different things from a relationship. Alec also is dealing with various personal issues. Since I’ve been home, I’ve seen Alec twice. I know I’m leading him on, but selfishly I don’t want to stop seeing him.

Make sure Alec knows that you don’t anticipate the relationship lasting. That way, if he still wants to continue seeing you, it’s up to him.

EDITORIALS

Tough year It was a long season for KU football, but the Jayhawk players still should be proud of their efforts and their team.

he end of football season was met with a sense of relief for many Kansas University athletics fans, but before we bid farewell to an admittedly dismal season, we should acknowledge the efforts of a group of young men who saw this season up close and personal — from the bench, the field, the huddle and the locker room. The success of these players obviously can’t be measured by their win-loss record, but the spirit and persistence of this team is worthy of note. Despite a winless season, the Jayhawk players continued to work hard and give their best effort. They showed up week after week and represented the university to the best of their abilities. Everyone knew from the beginning of the season that the deck was stacked against this team. Some years of poor recruiting and questionable coaching had left the team short on both size and talent. The coaching staff and team leaders did an admirable job of maintaining the players’ focus and determination in the face of repeated defeats, but the team was simply overmatched, especially in the powerful Big 12. Jayhawk fans would have liked to see a win or two this season, but they should remember that no one wanted those wins more than the players themselves. “It’s frustrating,” said Fish Smithson, one of the team’s top players, “because we put all that work in and we don’t have any wins to show for it.” “We’d love to get some of those games back that were close, but you can’t,” said senior tailback Taylor Cox. “You just have to learn from it.” Some KU players will be able to carry those lessons into next season — hopefully with the help of some quality recruits — but seniors like Cox will have to take those lessons into life after KU football. Coach David Beat y praised the leadership the seniors showed in the face of adversity and the positive impact they had on the team. That’s something to be proud of. Despite their lack of wins on the football field, we hope the KU seniors and their teammates make good use of their football scholarships to earn degrees and prepare for the future. Maybe their ability to fight through adversity on the football field this year will help prepare them to meet the professional and personal challenges they will face in the years ahead.

Latin Americans tap U.S. colleges Here’s some good news for Latin America: after decades of relative academic isolation, the region’s two biggest countries — Brazil and Mexico — are dramatically increasing their numbers of students attending U.S. universities. New data from the Institute of International Education’s “Open Doors” report show that Latin America is the world’s fastest-growing region in the flow of students to U.S. colleges. While the region is still way behind China and India in its numbers of students at U.S. colleges, it is beginning to catch up. China alone had 304,000 students in U.S. colleges this year, and India 133,000. By comparison, all Latin America and Caribbean countries together had 86,000 students in U.S. colleges, according to the IIE report. The numbers of Latin Americans studying in U.S. colleges is beginning to rise, however, thanks to dramatic increases in the numbers of Brazilian and Mexican students. Both Brazil and Mexico have recently started ambitious government scholarship programs to send tens of thousands of students to U.S. and European universities. Their programs are beginning to show results. Brazil increased its students in U.S. colleges by 78 percent this year, to 23,000 students, on the third year of its government’s Scientific Mobility Program. Under

“

Both Brazil and Mexico have recently started ambitious government scholarship programs to send tens of thousands of students to U.S. and European universities.”

that program, Brazil plans to send 100,000 college graduates to foreign universities, mostly to pursue graduate degrees in science and engineering. Mexico increased its number of students in U.S. colleges this year by 15 percent, to 17,000, after the recent start of a similar government-sponsored program. Unfortunately, the numbers for other Latin American countries are not rising as fast. Venezuela has nearly 8,000 students in U.S. universities, many of them fleeing from their country’s political and economic chaos; Colombia has 7,200; Peru and Ecuador 2,800 each; Chile 2,500 and

Argentina 2,000, the report shows. While China and India have much bigger populations than Latin American countries, their per capita percentages of students pursuing degrees in U.S. colleges are much higher than that of Latin American countries. Even Vietnam, a communist-ruled country on the other side of the globe, sent more students to U.S. colleges this year than Mexico. Among the main reasons for Latin America’s traditionally low numbers of students in U.S. universities is the language barrier. Asians tend to be better prepared to pass English proficiency tests than Latin Americans, U.S. universities say. Also, from what I observed in trips to China and India, Asian families tend to save more for the education of their children abroad, which in many Asian countries is considered not only a status symbol but also the best way to get a good job. There is a family culture of obsession with education in many Asian countries — perhaps stemming from the Confucius philosophy — something that’s missing in most Latin American countries. Also, a wave of anti-U.S. sentiment promoted by several Latin American radical leftist governments discouraged many in the region from pursuing a U.S. degree, in sharp contrast with China and Vietnam’s active efforts to train their new genera-

tions in the world’s best universities. The three best-known rankings of the world’s best universities — the Londonbased Times Higher Education (THE) Supplement ranking, the QS World University Rankings and the Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities — agree that the United States has the world’s best higher education institutions. My opinion: Latin American countries’ traditional academic isolation has been one of the key reasons why the region lags behind in innovation, science and technology. There is not a single Latin American university among the world’s 150 best higher education institutions, according to the THE ranking of the world’s best universities. That helps explain why South Korea, for instance, last year registered more than 18,000 patents of new inventions in the U.S. Office of Patents and Trademarks, while all 32 Latin American countries together registered only 836 patents there. At long last, Latin America’s biggest countries are waking up to the fact that we are living in a knowledge economy, in which science, technology and innovation are much better predictors of countries’ prosperity than having natural resources. That’s good news! — Andres Oppenheimer is a Latin America correspondent for the Miami Herald.

PUBLIC FORUM

Prison theory

Kansas loses a great man There is a belief among Jews that there are 36 “just men” hidden among us upon whose shoulders rests the survival of humankind. According to this belief, these 36 do not necessarily know who they are nor are they of any particular religion. It is because of their personal righteousness that God does not destroy mankind for its sins. I do not know whether this legend is true, but I believe, with all my heart, that if it is true, then the world lost such a man last week. His name was Glee Smith. The newspapers last week ran long obituaries recounting all of Glee’s remarkable professional and personal achievements. Certainly, there have been few men in Kansas history who have done so much for their state and the nation as a whole as did Glee. He was a dedicated public servant, volunteer, and lawyer. He did more for Kansas government, for our legal system, for Kansas University and for the communities in which he lived than any other individual I have ever known. But a simple listing of Glee’s professional achievements shows hardly a small portion of the man. I was fortunate enough to have lunch with Glee almost every Thursday for about 10 years. During those lunches, I was continually amazed by his deep and abiding belief

Mike Hoeflich

“

He had an unbelievably full and rich life and enriched the lives of so many other people. Yet Glee (Smith) was a humble man even though he had been so successful.”

in humanity and in the importance of maintaining a free and responsive government, as well as by his wisdom and his humor. Glee would tell me about growing up in western Kansas, of travels with his father, about his adventures in the U.S. Army Air Corps and as a young lawyer in Kansas just starting out after World War II. His stories about his national service in multiple positions were amazing, including my favorite about how, much to his surprise, Hillary Clinton gave him her private telephone number when they served together on the board of the Legal Services Corpo-

ration and told him to call whenever he wanted to. Glee often made me laugh or shake my head in amazement. He had an unbelievably full and rich life and enriched the lives of so many other people. Yet Glee was a humble man even though he had been so successful. He loved his wife, Jerry, and his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and he loved to speak of all of them. I will always remember small things about Glee and the small kindnesses he was willing to do for others. On occasion, I would invite law students to join us for lunch. Glee was invariably welcoming to them. I remember, in particular, a time I brought a law student who had served in the army for 10 years in Afghanistan, Iraq and other war zones. Glee treated him not only as a brother in arms but as an equal, although more than half a century separated them. Kansas has lost a great man. Humanity has lost one of the 36 “just men.” I have lost one of the best friends I have ever had. We must not only mourn our loss, but, also celebrate the long and wonderful life that was Glee’s. — Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

To the editor: It’s such a typical American way to solve a problem: Lock more people up for longer. I wonder if Dr. Bill Russell knows that we already incarcerate more people in this country than anywhere else except possibly China (Journal-World, Nov. 30)? Putting people in prison is very expensive and it is increasingly difficult to find people to work in corrections. I believe that imprisonment has its use, but, given the number of people who reoffend, its deterrent effect is obviously limited. I do not see how either of the cases he cites have to do with entitlement — let alone “any crime covered in the (Journal-World).” No one would deny the sentencing system could be improved, but I would not claim to know what the correct action is in a given case. For example, he criticizes the low bond set in one case. But since the prisoner was not able to make bail anyway, what difference would it make if it were $15,000 or $15 million? Russell is quoted as saying that if punishments were strengthened, crime would drop. That seems logical, but it doesn’t work according to the National Institute of Criminal Justice and other sources. Spouting theories that have no evidence to support them apparently gets you on “The O’Reilly Factor,” but it does nothing to solve our real problems. Anne L. Haehl, Lawrence

Self defense? To the editor: It would be too bad if a refugee came to U.S. with guns. Our government should try to protect us from this possibility. AND it would be too bad if someone with a gun broke into our church, theater or school. Just because someone has a gun, dare I assume it is only for self-defense? Don Conrad, Lawrence

Up to 150 troops to head for Iraq

Special ops force to conduct raids on Islamic State targets Garry McCarthy

Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

The Pentagon plans to send a special operations intelligence and strike force of 100 to 150 troops to Iraq to conduct raids on Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria, a senior Defense official told USA TODAY Tuesday. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told Congress about the extra troops Tuesday but did not specify how many. The Defense official spoke on condition of anonymity because officials were not authorized to comment publicly on details of the new force. The team will include intelligence analysts and special operations troops skilled in conducting raids, the source said. Often those troops include Navy SEALs and the Army’s Delta Force. Carter told the House Armed Services Committee that the commandos will coordinate with the Iraqi government and fight alongside Iraqi and Kurdish peshmerga troops. The new troops will be above the U.S. forces already in Iraq, the official said. The unit will have intelligence gathering and analysis capabilities and the forces to strike targets. “These special operators will over time be able to conduct raids, free hostages, gather intelligence and capture ISIL leaders,” Carter said, referring to the Islamic State by a commonly used acronym. “That creates a virtuous cycle of better intelligence, which generates more targets, more raids and more momentum. The raids in Iraq will be done at the invitation of the Iraqi government and focused on defending its borders and building the (Iraqi security force’s) own capacity. This force will also be in a position to conduct unilateral operations into Syria.” Carter told Congress Tuesday the Pentagon is prepared to send more special operations forces to support the fight against Islamic State terrorists in Syria. Carter confirmed a report in USA TODAY on Monday that the Pentagon planned to send more commandos to Syria if the initial force of 50 found allies willing to fight and take ground from the Islamic State. The addition of troops to Iraq and Syria represents a significant deepening of the U.S. involvement in the fight against the Islamic State. The Obama administration has been reluctant to commit ground forces to the fight. WASHINGTON

Calls for McCarthy’s ouster grew over the last week, following the release of the Laquan McDonald video. Protesters hit the streets chanting “16 shots and a cover up” and demanded McCarthy’s ouster. Van Dyke, suspended without pay after charges were filed against him, was released from jail Monday after posting bail. The mayor tapped John Escalante, the first deputy superintendent of the department, to serve as acting superintendent until a permanent replacement for McCarthy is named.

Emanuel announced McCarthy’s ouster at a late-morning news conference, saying he formally asked for his resignation on Tuesday morning. “I have a lot of support and confidence in the work that he has done,” Emanuel said. “But our goal is to build the trust and confidence with the public. At this point ... he has become an issue rather than someone dealing with the issue.”

As Julie Burkhart prepared in February 2013 to reopen a Wichita abortion and women’s health clinic shuttered since the shooting death of George Tiller in 2009, she looked out the window of her home and saw protesters waving signs. One of them read, “Where’s your church?” To Burkhart, the message was clear. Anti-abortion extremist Scott Roeder gunned down Tiller, her mentor and former boss, as he ushered at his Lutheran church. Although shootings like the one that killed Tiller are rare — his was the last recorded death involving an abortion provider — records, and a shooting Friday at a Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs, suggest people who work in the field do so under the constant threat of violence.

USA TODAY GOP POWER RANKINGS

Supreme Court limits reach of U.S. courts Term’s first ruling says woman can’t sue for accident in Austria

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz has gained in Iowa where he has invested time.

TED CRUZ SURGES INTO SECOND PLACE Trump stays on top; Rubio gains on him despite attack ad Paul Singer USA TODAY

Ted Cruz is on the move. The combative Texas senator has climbed to second place in our GOP Power Rankings, the highest he has placed in the 14 weeks we have been polling political experts on who is the strongest candidate in the Republican field. Each week, we ask 30 political types who they think is the strongest candidate in the GOP field. “The biggest news of the week was Ted Cruz’s surge in Iowa,” said Emory University professor Andra Gillespie. “One of the interesting features of this cycle has been the crowded evangelical field, where no one candidate has dominated and (Donald) Trump has held his own. Social conservatives may have found their candidate in Ted Cruz.” Trump remains No. 1 in our survey, with 17 first-place votes. While he has continued to toss out comments that are consid-

ered poor taste or inaccurate, he is the unquestioned front-runner. Still, Cruz and Marco Rubio are gaining ground. Rubio took more first-place votes in our survey (seven) than Cruz (four), but Cruz scored higher in total because 19 of our experts put him in second place. “Rubio hasn’t been as strong as in previous weeks, but most of this is proving to be an advantage for Ted Cruz,” said Carroll University’s Lilly Goren. “Cruz seems to be consolidating his position and is taking on the role as an option instead of Trump.” “Cruz has real momentum and he’s smart to be investing a lot of time and effort in Iowa,” said

Craig Robinson, editor of The Iowa Republican. “He is essentially doing what Marco Rubio should have done last month when the conditions were favorable towards him.” One interesting note from Kansas Tea Party activist Deb Lucia: She says an ad by Rubio supporters attacking Cruz’s foreign policy record may have backfired. The ad “actually hurt Rubio in the eyes of Tea Party and conservative supporters who want to know what candidates stand for and immensely dislike attack ads,” she said. “As a result, Cruz moved up in the rankings while Trump remains on top.” “Rubio continues to be the Establishment favorite, but Cruz looks stronger in Iowa,” said Nevada journalist Jon Ralston. New Hampshire “will be fascinating, with Christie suddenly looking viable,” he said. Christie, who was endorsed by the influential New Hampshire Union Leader over the weekend, got two first-place votes in our survey for the first time. Our panel agrees that Ben Carson, who briefly took over first place five weeks ago, is on the decline, and that at this point, there are really only five or six viable candidates: Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Christie and maybe Carson.

videos allegedly showing employees of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, discussing the sale of tissue and organs from aborted fetuses for profit. Planned Parenthood vehemently denies the allegation, saying the videos were heavily edited and misleading. Women who undergo abortions are asked whether they want to donate fetal tissue for medical research, the group’s officials said. According to the National Abortion Federation (NAF), there have been eight murders of abortion providers over the past 38 years. Incidents of vandalism, harassment, bomb threats and other violence and disruption number in the thousands, the group said. Its figures include incidents in the USA and Canada, and, since 2013, in Colombia, where the NAF has member clinics. The NAF reported 662 bomb threats, 16,301 harassing calls and hate mails, and 1,507 cases of vandalism. It said incidents of harassment at Planned Parenthood facilities increased ninefold after the videos surfaced online. In court filings, the NAF said anti-abortion activists have perpetrated more than 60,000 “recorded instances of harassment, intimidation and violence against abortion providers, including tens of thousands of acts of violence and other criminal activities against NAF members

After Lang’s handgun went off accidentally in a motel room, he admitted to police that he had the gun “to lay out abortionists because they are killing babies.” Lang said he planned to shoot abortion providers at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Madison the following day. A judge sentenced him to 10 years in prison.

uA fire that heavily damaged a Planned Parenthood clinic in September 2015 that officials in Pullman, Wash., said was due to arson. The fire followed a protest less than two weeks earlier in which about 500 protesters gathered outside the clinic. uThe shooting death in 1998 of Barnett Slepian, a physician and abortion provider, in his Amherst, N.Y., home. Anti-abortion activist James Kopp was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. uThe arrest Friday of Robert Lewis Dear, 57, who surrendered to police after a five-hour standoff at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs. Dear is charged with first-degree murder in the

deaths of three people, including a police officer. Nine others were wounded. Saturday, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch condemned the Colorado Springs shooting, calling it an “unconscionable attack” that was “not only a crime against the Colorado Springs community but a crime against women receiving health care services at Planned Parenthood, law enforcement seeking to protect and serve and other innocent people.” It was also an assault, she said, “on the rule of law and an attack on all Americans’ right to safety and security.” Women’s groups say the attacks are more prevalent than ever. An annual survey conducted in 2014 by the Feminist Majority Foundation found the percentage of women’s health clinics reporting they had been targeted in some way by anti-abortion violence, stalking, threats or intimidation had nearly doubled over the previous four years, from 27% in 2010 to 52% in 2014.

The survey, released last January, found the “most severe types of anti-abortion violence” affected one in five clinics nationwide, down slightly from 2010. It also found that clinics reported “significantly” higher levels of threats and targeted intimidation of doctors and staff than in prior years. Such threats included distribution of “Wanted-style” posters and “Killers Among Us” leaflets featuring doctors’ photographs, home addresses and other personal information. The foundation said these leaflets had been spotted at 28% of all clinics. “The steep increase in the targeted intimidation of doctors and staff is striking and of great concern,” the foundation said, “as these types of true threats have all too often in the past preceded the use of deadly violence.” Overall, the survey found, about 43% of clinics said they experienced anti-abortion activity on a weekly basis. One in four saw it daily. “I really think that the public should get good and fed up with this,” said Eleanor Smeal, the group’s president. “I think the public does not realize how widespread the harassment is.” Burkhart, who worked with Tiller from 2002 until his death in 2009, recalled media accounts in which critics called the physician “Tiller the Baby Killer.” “The language was highly charged, which I feel contributed to his death,” she said.

Rudder failure, pilot actions led to AirAsia crash Report: System had repeated problems John Bacon USA TODAY

The pilots’ failure to correctly respond to a recurring rudder problem led to the crash of an AirAsia commercial jet into the Java Sea a year ago, killing all 162 aboard, Indonesian safety officials said Tuesday. AirAsia Flight 8501 disappeared from radar screens Dec. 28 about 40 minutes out of Surabaya, Indonesia, bound for Singapore in stormy weather. Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee in a report issued Tuesday said a rudder control system on the Airbus A320 had failed almost two dozen times in the year before the crash.

“The degraded performance and ambiguous commands might have decreased the SIC’s (co-pilot’s) situational awareness and he did not react appropriately in this complex emergency resulting in the aircraft becoming upset,” the report said. Airbus, the plane’s manufacturer, said in a statement Tuesday that the company is studying the report, to which it contributed technical expertise. “We are now carefully studying its content,” the statement said. “With safety being top priority, Airbus is fully committed to push the safety track record of our industry even further.” Maintenance records show rising frequency in rudder problems, nine times in December. The report said an alarm went off several times, leading the pilots to reset the system, which prompted events that led to the plane rolling out of control. Contributing: Bart Jansen in Washington

PARIS

resident Obama expressed confidence Tuesday that the world’s nations can soon strike a global climate change agreement, including “legally binding” targets designed to forge a “low-carbon global economy” in the century ahead. “I’m convinced that we’re going to get big things done here,” Obama said during a news conference that followed two days of climate talks in Paris. The president also told reporters that he and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin continue to be at odds over Russian support for Syrian leader Bashar Assad, and he said that last week’s shooting at a Planned Parenthood office in Colorado again shows the need for sensible gun laws. While condemning the shooting, Obama also criticized some of “rhetoric” surrounding Planned Parenthood and abortion. While there is a “legitimate, honest debate” about abortion in the United States, Obama said, people should make sure that “we’re talking about it factually, accurately, and not demonizing organizations like Planned Parenthood.” As Obama flew back to the United States on Tuesday, diplomats from some 180 countries remained in Paris to try to hammer out a global agreement designed to address the destructive impact of warming temperatures on the earth’s environment. The trend of global warming “affects all trends,” Obama said, making it “an economic and security imperative” for every country. Officials in large industrial countries have questioned the idea of a global climate change agreement, saying it might hurt their

That group includes countries like China, India — and the United States, where members of the Republican majority in the U.S. Congress have vowed to block a variety of Obama administration climate change initiatives. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a Washington Post op-ed that “the president’s international negotiating partners at that conference should proceed with caution before entering into an unattainable deal with this administration, because commitments the president makes there would rest on a house of cards of his own making.” The president’s hopes for a “legally binding” agreement on carbon reductions would likely require congressional approval. The Paris climate change summit also included talks about threats of the Islamic State, less than three weeks after terrorists aligned with the group killed more than 130 people in Paris. Asked about his private meeting with Putin, Obama said he is confident that Russia will eventually realize that a successful campaign against the Islamic State will require Assad’s removal from power — but that might not happen for some time.

People in the study took two pills a few hours before a sexual encounter, a third the next day and a fourth the day after that, according to the study, published online Tuesday in The New England Journal of Medicine. Participants in the 400-person study took an average of 15 pills a month. Doctors followed them for an average of 9.3 months. Everyone in the study received counseling about reducing their HIV risk, along with free condoms and screening and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, according to the report. — Liz Szabo AIR CAMPAIGN CRIPPLES ISIL OIL INDUSTRY IN SYRIA

MANUFACTURING DROPS Manufacturing activity shrank last month as a strong dollar and weakness overseas continue to crimp the industry. An index of factory activity fell from 50.1 to 48.6, the lowest level in six years and the first contraction since November 2012, the Institute for Supply Management said Tuesday. A reading above 50 means the sector is expanding; below 50 indicates contraction.

A steady drumbeat of scandal disclosures finally caught up to Volkswagen on Tuesday where it hurts the most — in sales. Even as the U.S. auto industry as a whole saw its sales rise 6%, the VW brand saw a sales slide of 24.7% as it was unable to levitate numbers for a third month since the scandal over rigging of emissions tests became front-page news. VW’s troubles contrasted with an auto industry overall that is racking up huge sales and huge profits from crossover SUVs. Some of the sales beneficiaries last month were Detroit’s automakers. General Motors was up 1.5%, Ford Motor rose 0.3% and Fiat Chrysler climbed 3.1%, Autodata reports. Among the big Japanese brands, Toyota saw a 3.4% rise and Nissan increased 3.8%, but Honda was PATRICK PLEUL, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY down 5.2%.

ery four to five new cars that move off the lot. Volkswagen avoided the inevitable until November by discounting cars to keep its sales volume of gas-powered cars high, offsetting the inability to sell diesels. In October, the VW brand saw a slight sales rise. Many buyers appear to have taken advantage of deep discounts from VW on gas-powered cars and

switched to those models instead of diesels, depleting inventories. VW’s inventory of its popular Jetta compact fell 37% last month, says Stacey Doyle, senior auto analyst for TrueCar.com. The midsize Passat, typically another big seller, had a 70% inventory drop. Both Jetta and Passat took big sales hits in November. The inventory depletion reflects a whopping increase in sales incentives to try to keep owners loyal to the brand. The VW brand alone rose 54% on incentives. Much of that, Doyle says, was due to a $1,500 “owner loyalty bonus” offer that VW threw out to try to keep its more devoted customers from running. VW has to hope that the emissions scandal developments fade to the back pages while it restocks with gas-powered cars. “Now they can work on rebuilding the brand,” Doyle says. While VW was helped by sales of its Tiguan small crossover, up 88%, other brands saw even bigger lifts from their SUVs: uNissan. The Rogue crossover became the carmaker’s most popular vehicle in November. The Rogue surged 45% in November to 22,565 units, outpacing the typically steady Altima sedan, which fell 10% to 20,564. uToyota. The RAV4 compact crossover roared 30% to 27,368 units. That made the RAV4 the automaker’s No. 2 most popular vehicle in November, behind only the Camry sedan but ahead of the traditionally dependable Corolla compact, which was down 6%. uGeneral Motors. The new Chevrolet Trax subcompact crossover flourished, with sales of 6,481 units in its first month in U.S. dealerships — better than any single Cadillac or Buick vehicle, by comparison.

Management can voluntarily recognize the choice, allowing employees to begin the process of collective bargaining. If it doesn’t, there will be a binding election at the National Labor Relations Board.

L awrence J ournal -W orld - USA TODAY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2015

December historically has been a profitable month for the U.S. stock market, which often enjoys a year-end rally. But December has a split personality, as slow starts to the month typically are followed by big stock rallies — and sizable gains — in the trading sessions after Dec. 15. The split tape in December is illustrated best by data from Bespoke Investment Group. An analysis of December performance since 1995 found that the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index has posted an average loss of 0.3% and finished up less than half the time in the period from the end of November until the market close on Dec. 15. In contrast, stocks have kicked into high gear after Dec. 15, with the large-company stock index posting average gains of 1.7% and finishing up 80% of the time through year end. Explaining this seasonal phenomenon on Wall Street is more difficult than simply laying out

says Paul Hickey, co-founder of Bespoke Investment Group. Yearend tax-loss selling is often completed by the middle of December, allowing investors to start redeploying cash into the stock market after the required 30-day waiting period, adds Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management.

the statistics. USA TODAY asked some market pros to posit some theories as to why stocks tend to fly high in the waning days of December. While they all hinted that making sense of December’s quirky return timing is more art than science, here’s five possible explanations for the late December bounty.

HOLIDAY OPTIMISM

Holiday cheer spills over into the market, giving investors a reason to buy. “Holiday optimism and upbeat forecasts for the new year spread and lift sentiment so folks feel better and, therefore, are a little more optimistic,” says David Kotok, chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors.

FED CLARITY

The last Federal Reserve meeting of the year occurs in mid-December. And what the Fed says about interest rates and their policy views often can reduce investor uncertainty. “Investors get some clarity in the second half of December,” Kotok says. And this December will be no different, as the Fed is expected to raise interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade, a move that would end all the questions about the timing of the U.S. central bank’s rate-hike “liftoff.”

TAX-PLANNING MOVES

“Choppiness early in the month may be due to people making tax decisions, such as selling losers to offset gainers,”

BONUS TIME

The holiday season ’tis the time for year-end bonuses and tips for a job well done. “Late December (market) strength is partially due to the fact that as people receive year-end bonuses or tips, they tend to save at least some of it, and ultimately some of that money finds its way into the market,” Hickey adds.

FUNDS PLAY CATCH UP

It’s not unusual for fund managers that are trailing their benchmarks, such as the S&P 500, to invest more aggressively at the end of December in an attempt to turbocharge their returns and finish the year with gains bigger or at least equal to their benchmarks. “If managers are underperforming and panic, (they may play) ‘catch up’ the closer you get to year end, pushing gains up even more toward the (end of December),” Paulsen says.

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

The Fed wants to go. No not on vacation. It wants to finally move off 0% and raise interest rates at its December meeting for the first time in nearly a decade. More good jobs data — starting with Wednesday’s November report from payroll processor ADP that tallies new hires by private employers, to Thursday’s weekly read on the number of Americans lining up for unemployment benefits, to Friday’s big government jobs report for November — should give the Fed the cover it needs to finally hike rates. The only thing standing in the way of so-called Fed “lift-off,” aside from the job market suddenly falling off a cliff, which is unlikely, is some other super wor-

risome development, says Tom Siomades, head of Hartford Funds Investment Consulting . Siomades expects the government to report that the U.S. economy again created more than 200,000 jobs, all but cementing a rate hike in two weeks. “Short of the wheel, axle and under-carriage falling off a rate hike is pretty much a done deal,” he says, adding that even a reading as low as 150,000 won’t deter the Fed. Siomades says the market is ready for the first hike since 2006 and that it is largely priced into the market already. The best-case scenario is for the jobs data to come in as expected because a bad number could raise questions about the health of the economy just as the Fed is getting set to hike rates. The new question will be what the Fed says about its subsequent rate hike plans, he says.

Bookseller turns page, broadens retailing scope Q: Can Barnes & Noble survive? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Barnes & Noble (BKS) certainly has had its share of disappointments. But changes at the bookseller have positioned it surprisingly well in an age of online shopping and digital books. Barnes & Noble’s Nook digital reader didn’t work out well, and the company was hammered by a string of losses between 2011 and its fiscal year ended in May 2014. But the company has taken a number of steps to open a new chapter. Barnes & Noble spun off its college books business as a separate company, Barnes & Noble Education, in August 2015, explaining in part why shares are down 45% this year to roughly $12.50. The split allowed Barnes & Noble to focus on not just being a physical bookseller, but a broad retailer. The company is taking on online sellers with low prices on more than just books, but also toys such as Lego. Barnes & Noble offers free shipping to shoppers who spend at least $25, beating Amazon. The company turned a profit in fiscal 2015. Analysts seem to think those efforts to be a broad retailer will work. The company’s adjusted profit this fiscal year ended in April 2016 is expected to rise 57% from the same period a year earlier. Analysts on average rate the stock “outperform” with an 18-month price target of $19.33.

Puerto Rico skirts default but sounds $1B ‘distress call’ Alan Gomez USA TODAY

Puerto Rico made good on a $355 million debt payment due Tuesday, but the government signaled that making its next payment — $1 billion due New Year’s Day — poses a greater challenge. The U.S. commonwealth is staggering beneath $72 billion debt amid a historic economic crunch. The island’s government already partially defaulted on a $58 million payment due in August from a subsidiary of the Government Development Bank.

ANGEL VALENTIN FOR USA TODAY

“We have no cash left,” Puerto Rico’s Gov. Padilla says. A new executive order allows some flexibility.

Puerto Rico’s next challenge comes Jan. 1 when various Puerto Rican entities must pay $1 billion to creditors.

During a Senate hearing examining the island’s financial collapse Tuesday, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said it required “financial gymnastics” for Puerto Rico to clear Tuesday’s much smaller deadline. The Obama administration and members of Congress have proposed changing the law to allow Puerto Rico to use bankruptcy protections to resolve its debt. Over the past decade, Puerto Rico’s government has laid off 30,000 employees, closed nearly 200 schools, raised taxes and reformed pension funds, Gov. Alejandro García Padilla told the

Senate panel. During that time, more than 300,000 islanders moved to the U.S. mainland, further reducing the island’s tax revenue. Those factors combined to create an economic situation that the government can’t resolve alone given the government cannot take advantage of the Chapter 9 bankruptcy protections U.S. municipalities can use. “Let us be clear: We have no cash left,” Padilla said. “This is a distress call.” Most of the $354.8 million payment fell under a category of debt that must be paid according to the island’s constitution. The is-

land’s Government Development Bank said Padilla signed an executive order giving the government flexibility to decide which future debt payments to honor. Blumenthal said Congress had a “moral responsibility” to assist the island, because its people are U.S. citizens by birth, and should give Puerto Rico the financial tools it needs to restructure its debt. He said the flow of Puerto Ricans to the U.S. mainland — about 84,000 last year — shows how dire the economic situation has become. “Those are numbers you see after an armed conflict or a disaster,” he said.

She taught us how to be “fierce” and drew back the curtain on the modeling world. And 13 years after launching CW’s America’s Next Top Model, Tyra Banks still keeps it real. “Right now my eyebrows are just not perfect. I need to, like, pluck them I think,” says Banks, leaning forward to offer a peek at her full arches (which are perfect). It’s a time for reflection as her show hits the end of the runway Friday (9 p.m. ET/PT) after 22 seasons, and Banks is looking back to a time when eyebrows and budgets were paper-thin. “Oh my gosh, that first judging room was so bad. That was in a hotel room and we had run out of money,” she says, harking back to early days when Janice Dickinson, Kimora Lee Simmons and J. Alexander flanked her as judges and the show aired on UPN. Top Model turned out to be a ratings blockbuster, but in early days, Banks was her own production assistant. “I was unhappy

“The fashion world is a business. They see Gigi (Hadid) has how many followers and Kendall has how many followers and Kylie (Jenner) … Numbers are money.” with the room, so I went to Bed, Bath & Beyond and Linens-NThings with my own money and bought pillows and tchotchkes and all these things to round out the room.” Top Model was born in the early days of the reality TV craze, not long after American Idol and Survivor, but preceded many other reality competition shows, including Top Chef, Project Runway and The Apprentice. The show proved so popular, copycats abounded. “Right after Cycle 1, producers of other shows would call my office and say: ‘Hey can you give me a VHS or DVDs of the show? We’d like to study it,’ ” recalls executive producer Ken Mok. New seasons prompted changes aimed at boosting ratings: shorter models, British models, a season full of collegeage models and, finally, the introduction of male models. “That’s my mantra: When others are zigging, we’re zagging,” Banks says. The biggest change has been a lessening of the stigma associated with reality TV. Few of the show’s “Top Models” became top models.

DAN MACMEDAN, USA TODAY

Tyra Banks prepares to close out 22 seasons of her groundbreaking America’s Next Top Model. But social media has changed that, at least elsewhere. “The fashion world is a business,” she says, pointing to popular realitystars-turned-models. “They see Gigi (Hadid) has how many followers and Kendall has how many followers and Kylie (Jenner) and Cara (Delevingne) … that is what made the shift. Not just time. Numbers are money.”

Since CW’s cancellation, producers have been shopping the show to streaming and cable outlets. Should one of them buy the show, would Banks continue to host it? “It really depends on time; it depends on if I can get my producers.” Time is precious. Banks, 41, just stepped away from hosting the talk show FABLife to focus

her attention on TYRA Beauty, a line she developed while attending Harvard Business School’s extension program. Banks’ company is “100% selffunded. So I have not just my skin in the game, but my muscles and my flesh in the game,” she says. “I’m not successful unless my ‘beautytainers’ are making a lot of money.”

Adele’s ‘25’ sells more than 4M in 10 days Patrick Ryan @patryanwrites USA TODAY

Hello from the record books. Adele’s blockbuster 25 is the fastest-selling album ever with more than 4 million copies sold in 10 days, according to Nielsen Music. That places it well ahead of the 2.5 million it was projected to move in the week after its release Nov. 20. Already, the benchmarks are piling up. Not only is 25 the biggest-selling album of the year (besting the 1.8 million copies Taylor Swift’s 1989 sold in 2015), it’s also the highest-selling since Nielsen SoundScan started tracking album sales in 1991. In just four days, 25 broke the one-week sales record set by NSYNC’s No String Attached (2.4 million in 2000). “She’s breaking a record that was set in 2000, and that was a year when we sold 785 million albums. We’re probably going to sell 250 million albums this year,” says Dave Bakula, Nielsen’s senior vice president of industry insights.

DANA EDELSON, NBC

The whole of Adele’s album 25 isn’t streaming anywhere, but it’s still breaking sales records. And there’s no slowing in sight. “This is not just breaking a record set when albums were really selling in 2000 — this is breaking a record at a time when streaming is becoming one of the biggest portions of the industry.” (25 is not streaming now anywhere in its entirety, making the sales feat

bigger.) Even in the heyday of icons such as The Beatles or Elvis Presley, “I have a really hard time believing that anything could have done as well or any better than what Adele has done this first week,” Bakula says.

In its first week, 25 made up 41% of all album sales in the USA, 51% of which were physical copies and 49% digital. It made its debut atop the Billboard 200 album chart this week — making it Adele’s second No. 1 album after her similarly huge 21, which returns to the chart’s Top 10 at No. 9 (34,000 sold). When 21 arrived in February 2011, it moved 352,000 copies its first week and went on to sell more than 11 million in the USA to date. So just how high might 25 go? NSYNC’s No Strings moved an additional 811,000 copies in its second week — a number 25 could beat. “My guess is that she doesn’t get quite to a million this week, but that would be a pretty neat story if she did over a million two weeks in a row,” Bakula says. Through the end of the year, “it’s going to be a steady seller, especially because you can’t stream it,” says Billboard senior editor Alex Gale. “Now that it’s become this historic album, people who didn’t buy it at first are going to buy it to see what all the hype’s about. Plus, it’s a pretty safe holiday gift to give to anyone.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD CHEICK DIALLO (13) THROWS DOWN A STYLIZED JAM off a breakaway to the delight of teammates Wayne Selden Jr. (1) and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk during the second half of KU’s 94-61 rout of Loyola (Maryland) on Tuesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

An approachable guy who usually has a smile on his face, Cheick Diallo spoke with several members of Kansas University’s student body during his time on campus Tuesday morning. “My classmates were, ‘Oh, Cheick, we’re coming to watch you today. Let’s go Cheick.’ People were tweeting, ‘Cheick, we can’t wait for you. We can’t wait.’

Today was the day. I had to prove to everybody I can play,” Diallo, KU’s 6-foot9 freshman forward from Mali, said after a productive 13-point, six-rebound, three-block college basketball debut — a performance that helped the Jayhawks blitz Loyola Maryland, 9461, Tuesday night in Allen Fieldhouse. Diallo — who was subject of a little joke by his teammates when the Jayhawks had him run onto the court

first for warmups, but did not follow through the northwest tunnel, leaving him out there alone — received a loud standing ovation when he entered for the first time with 12:57 left in the first half. Like his teammates, he had a less-than-stellar half. He scored no points with one rebound, a block and a turnover while committing two fouls in six minutes, KU leading just 40-36 at the break.

“I was thinking about this game all day, what I’m gonna do — rebound, block shots. The first half I played seven, eight minutes. I got zero points. I was thinking, ‘Wow, what am I supposed to do the second half now?’” Diallo said. “I was so scared and nervous at the same time, but now I’m so excited. The game is over, and I played really, really well.” He was a human highlight reel the final half. His first points as a Jay-

hawk following his fivegame NCAA-mandated stint on the sidelines came on a dunk off a behindthe-back pass from Wayne Selden Jr. After grabbing a rebound and scoring inside, he flushed a lob from fellow freshman Carlton Bragg Jr. Diallo waved his arms wildly to the crowd after that slam and after a blocked shot that came shortly after. Please see KANSAS, page 4C

Kansas displays style, substance Take your pick of favorite moments from a spectacular second-half display of high-speed basketball Tuesday night in Allen Fieldhouse, where Kansas University ran Loyola Maryland ragged, 94-61. From a historic standpoint, Cheick Diallo’s first points, an uncontested dunk off a beauty of a wraparound pass from emerging star Wayne Selden Jr., has to enter the discussion. Consid-

ering the feel-good aspect of a player who was an unwitting pawn in the NCAA’s grudge against a school,

a player who clearly had butterflies in the first half, Diallo getting on the board certainly ranks up there. From a shocking, exciting, even humorous standpoint, Diallo, a 6-foot-9, late-to-basketball former soccer player, dribbling more than half the court, putting his left hand behind his head and dunking with his right, ranked as the No. 1 topic of conversation as 16,300 emptied the building.

Yet, from a sheer degreeof-difficulty, did-I-just-seewhat-I-think-I-saw aspect, Frank Mason III threading a bounce pass from near midcourt to the hoop for an easy fast-break bucket won the prize. It was an amazing display of style and substance from a bunch of basketball players who appear to enjoy playing with each other and

KU football lands speedy receiver from Texas By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Three days after the official end of the 2015 football season, Kansas University coach David Beaty got a good start on 2016 when he picked up an oral commitment from Huntsville, Texas, wide receiver Jay Griffin. Griffin, an explosive three-star athlete who last

summer committed to Utah, announced the commitment on Twitter on Tuesday. Griffin said he picked the Jayhawks because playing at Kansas offers a better chance to compete closer to home. He joins an already deep receiving corps but told Jon Kirby of JayhawkSlant.com that catching passes might not necessarily be where his future lies.

“I can play anywhere and will play wherever they need me,” Griffin told Kirby. “I just want to help them win a championship.” Cornerbacks coach Kenny Perry and receivers coach Klint Kubiak were the lead recruiters for the 5-foot-11, 160-pound Griffin, and their recruitment made a great impact. “I had a good relationship

with all of their coaches, and I like their school,” Griffin told Kirby. “They have a lot to offer. I talked to coach Perry the most. He just told me he will help me get to where I wanted to be.” Before picking Utah, Griffin, known primarily for his top-end speed, held offers from KU, Central Florida, New Mexico State and Sam Houston State.

“

Griffin becomes the 11th I can player in the Class of 2016 play anyto commit to Kansas, but the Jayhawks, who can sign where and up to 25 players in this class, will play likely only have a handful wherever of scholarships remaining to pass out because of the they need presence of several trans- me.” fers who joined the team prior to the 2015 season. — Wide receiver Griffin plans to make his Jay Griffin official visit to KU in January.

Woods uncertain on return to golf Nassau, Bahamas (ap) — Tiger Woods painted a bleak picture Tuesday on when he can return to golf or even get back to doing anything more than just walking. Woods had two back surgeries in a span of 18 months followed by what he described only as another “procedure” in the same area in October. He has not started rehabilitation and does not know when his back will allow for that. “The hardest part for me is there’s really nothing I can look forward to, nothing I can build toward,” Woods said. “It’s just taking it literally just day by day and week by week and Woods time by time.” Woods is at the Hero World Challenge as the tournament host, not one of the 18 players at Albany Golf Club. The only time he touched a club was to pose for a photo, and he leaned on it while talking to Justin Rose and Zach Johnson on the putting green. A month away from turning 40, the smile did not come as easily for Woods. He has not competed since Aug. 23 at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he attracted record crowds in his first appearance and played his best golf of a bad year. He went into the final round two shots behind and tied for 10th. He didn’t realize that would be his last event of the year, and last tournament for longer than he knows. “Was it a surprise? Yeah,” Woods said. “Because as I was alluding to that week and subsequent weeks, I felt my hip was killing me and I didn’t think it was coming from my back. We worked out in the trailer each and every day and just tried to loosen up my hip. And OK, fine, we went out and played. But I didn’t feel any back discomfort. “Come to find out it wasn’t my hip, it was coming from my back.” He had another microdiscectomy Sept. 16 and then he revealed he had another “procedure” Oct. 30, which he said was in the same spot. Asked the degree to which he can function, Woods said, “I walk. I walk and I walk some more.” Woods, who has spent 683 weeks at No. 1 in the world ranking, is now at No. 400, his lowest as a professional. He has not won since the Bridgestone Invitational in 2013, when he was the PGA Tour player of the year. And now he can’t even begin to imagine when he might play again. “I have no answer for that, and neither does my surgeon or my physios,” he said. “There is no timetable.” Woods said this was different from his four knee surgeries, even the worst one in 2008 after he won the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines for his 14th major. He had a reconstruction of his left knee and was told it would be about nine months before he could get back. Woods returned eight months later and won in his third start. “For nerves, there are really no timetables and therein lies the tricky part of it because you can come back earlier or you can come back later,” he said. Would he be surprised if he was nothing more than a host at the Hero World Challenge a year from now? He couldn’t answer it. “So where is the light at the end of the tunnel? I don’t know, so that’s been hard,” Woods said.

Veritas’ goal: Top returners Keep building giving Seabury on success high hopes By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Basketball season is already underway at Veritas Christian, with the Eagles picking up wins against Whitefield Academy on Tuesday night. The Eagles plan to continue their winning ways with veteran-laden teams this season. Here is a look at the Eagles’ basketball teams for the upcoming year:

Boys basketball With nine of the top 10 scorers back from last season, Veritas Christian’s boys basketball team has extremely high expectations. The Eagles will be led by seniors Mark Weinhold, Kalim Dowdell, Chad Stieben and Miles Dressler, junior Michael Rask and freshman Trey Huslig. Stieben scored a teamhigh 14.5 points per game last year, while Dowdell added 10.7 points and 10.0 rebounds, and Dressler added 9.6 points and 5.1 rebounds. Last season, Veritas took third place in the KCAA state tournament and finished with a 23-5 record, and the Eagles are eyeing an improvement. “We played a very competitive summer schedule against larger schools and competed very well,” second-year coach Carl Huslig said. “If we take that experience along with last year’s success, we have the foundation for a very successful season.” After the season-opening win on Tuesday, the

Eagles will play again at 7:30 p.m. Friday at CPRS. “We have a motto at Veritas that the coaches own the program, but the players own the team,” Huslig said. “The seniors have bought into that philosophy, and this is their team.”

Girls basketball Veritas Christian’s girls basketball players will face a tougher schedule this season, and they are confident they can find continue to find ways to win. The Eagles, who finished fifth in the KCAA state tournament last season with a 9-13 record, have worked on playing with consistency on both sides of the floor during the preseason. They’re also looking for another top scorer alongside junior guard Tori Huslig, who averaged 19.3 points per game last season. The Eagles return junior forward Alyssa Krestan and sophomore forward Emma Wilson from last season. They’re also hoping for strong seasons from sophomore forward Chloe Holland, junior guards Nefertiti Shephard and Nefertari Shephard. “Our team feels good this season as we continue to build from last season and learning to play together,” 15th-year coach Kevin Shelton said. “Adding our three newcomers adds needed depth to our team and defensive quickness.” Veritas won its season opener on Tuesday and will travel to CPRS at 6 p.m. Friday.

Bishop Seabury Acadmey’s basketball teams will have plenty of familiar faces this season, and expectations are up. Here is a look at Seabury’s basketball teams for the upcoming season:

Boys basketball After losing by one point in the sub-state semifinals last year, Bishop Seabury boys basketball players are determined to find a way to the state tournament this season. The Seahawks, ranked No. 4 in the Class 2A preseason coaches’ poll, return most of their varsity rotation from last year’s team, which finished with a 13-8 record. Seabury will be led by a talented backcourt featuring junior Mikey Wycoff and sophomores Zach McDermott and Bansi King. Wycoff, who missed several games because of an injury last year, scored a team-high 22.4 points per game last season, while McDermott added 15.2 points. In the front court, Seabury has senior forward Thomas Uhler and a few others who could be forced into bigger roles this year. The Seahawks are also hoping for a strong season from freshman Chris Green. With several sharpshooters, the Seahawks are confident they will be able to score plenty of points this year. The key will be how well they can

play on the other side of the floor. “Last year, we were really good at defending,” seventh-year coach Ashley Battles said. “Rebounding was suspect. But we held teams to pretty low point totals.” Seabury opens the year on the road at Maranatha Academy at 8 p.m. Friday.

Girls basketball After going through some growing pains last season, Bishop Seabury’s girls basketball team returns with an extra year of experience. The Seahawks bring back four starters: senior guard Regan Zaremba, senior forward Tanisha Kaur, junior guard Celia TaylorPuckett and junior forward Kayleigh Boos. Sophomore guard Peggy Zang also contributed off of the bench. “Regan Zaremba will be the key as our point guard,” second-year coach Ted Juneau said. “She will be counted on to score and, just as importantly, to direct our offense and defense.” The Seahawks, who posted a 4-14 record last year, don’t have much height this season and will be challenged with only nine players. “We will need players to play major minutes early in the season,” Juneau said. “Injuries and foul problems will be major challenges.” The Seahawks will begin the season at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Maranatha Academy.

KU WOMEN’S HOOPS AT A GLANCE When: 7 p.m. today Where: Allen Fieldhouse Who: Creighton Series: KU leads, 25-13 Rematch: Kansas University’s women’s basketball team had beaten Creighton 11 straight times until last season. It was nearly a year ago now that the Jayhawks lost to the Bluejays in overtime, in Omaha, Nebraska. Both teams, of course, have different rosters and rotations headed into tonight’s game at Allen Fieldhouse. And KU has a new coach, Brandon Schneider.

A few Jayhawks who suffered that road OT loss have a chance to redeem Kansas tonight. Lauren Aldridge played 44 minutes in the last meeting, scoring 13 points, and Chayla Cheadle scored nine points in 31 minutes. Jada Brown also played 12 minutes in the setback. Streaking: A Bluejay who didn’t play last season (because she was in high school), Creighton freshman Audrey Farber has made 54 percent of her shots this season. The 6-foot-2 forward leads Creighton in scoring, with

16.5 points, and has made 19 of her 21 free throws. Slumping: On their first road trip away from Lawrence, a three-game stint, the Jayhawks lost two out of their past three games. Even in KU’s neutral-floor win over Northern Illinois during that stretch, the team didn’t shoot the ball well. KU hit just 32.2 percent of its field-goal attempts in a loss at Arizona, 37.3 percent against NIU and 37.7 percent at SMU. In each of the two setbacks, Kansas shot just 4-for-20 from three-point range.

Diallo, KU impress Loyola coach By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Last week, while the Kansas University men’s basketball team was soaking up the sun and sprinting to a Maui Invitational title, Loyola (Maryland) coach G.G. Smith was enjoying a crash-course scouting report on the Jayhawks’ three games in three days. If he didn’t know it before KU opened play in Maui, Smith quickly learned that Cheick Diallo, a freshman from Mali, Africa, and his fight with the NCAA for eligibility was causing quite a stir in Lawrence. He also learned during KU’s titlegame win over Vanderbilt that Diallo’s first game would come against his Greyhounds. As if coming into Allen Fieldhouse to take on a top-five team was not already hard enough, Smith now had a whole new set of problems. And Tuesday night, during

KANSAS FRESHMAN CHEICK DIALLO FIGHTS FOR POSITION FOR A REBOUND against Loyola forward Jarred Jones (21). KU’s 94-61 victory, those problems were on full display as Diallo raced to 13 points, grabbed six rebounds and blocked three shots to help lead

Kansas (5-1) to the easy victory. “We knew,” Smith said when asked if he was aware that Tuesday was Diallo’s debut. “I heard

the commentary, and I tell you what, he’s a pretty good player. I was really impressed with him. For being his very first game, he’s very ac-

tive, he’s very athletic, he’s long, he can rebound the ball. He obviously needs to work on his free throws (1-of-4 shooting from the line), but he’s a pretty good player for a freshman.” Smith said Diallo’s presence did not alter the way the Greyhounds (1-6) prepared for Tuesday’s showdown in any way. Instead, they tried to treat it like any other trip to a big-time venue. For 20 minutes, that preparation worked fabulously, as the Greyhounds twice cut into nine-point KU leads and trailed by just four at the half. Two minutes into the second half, however, things had changed completely, and Kansas was on its way to another rout. “I thought we played really hard there in the first half,” Smith said. “We ran some offense, and our guys really executed offensively. We got a couple turnovers and were able to keep it

“That’s my new style,” Diallo said of the celebratory wave. He also hit an eightfoot shot, dove to tie up a Loyola player and had the play of the game, blocking a shot and dribbling the ball three-quarters of the court, slamming with his right hand while placing his left hand on the back of his neck. “I thought that was cute. That was nice,” KU coach Bill Self said. “I told him after, ‘Cheick, we don’t do that.’ That’s what he did. So that’s fine. He was having fun. That’s great. I’m happy for him. The kid waited a long time to get out there.” Diallo explained: “I mean, I used to do that even at my high school. In the Jordan Brand Classic, I did that, too,” Diallo said, noting he was “kinda nervous” he’d lose the ball on his jaunt down the court. Selden, who led the way with 18 points, six boards and four assists, enjoyed the flashy dash down the court and dunk.

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON III (0) HANGS FOR A SHOT against Loyola guard Eric Laster. “I didn’t see it coming. I didn’t know what to expect,” Selden said. “I’m just glad he made it, because freshmen get on that fast break, you never know what could happen.”

Diallo finished perfectly, to the delight of the fans. “I don’t know what I was doing at the beginning of the game,” Diallo said. “I still kept

playing hard, just like coach tells me: ‘If you turn over the ball, don’t put your head down. Just keep playing hard every single time.’” Self said he and his

a game, but in the second half they started with an 11-0 run, and we just couldn’t catch up. That’s Kansas. “Our guys have been to Syracuse, we’ve been to West Virginia, we’ve been to Duke in the past. But this place is really, really special. Emotion really takes care of the guys, and we couldn’t fight through.” While the play of KU guards Wayne Selden Jr., Frank Mason III and Devonté Graham impressed Smith as much as anything, the Loyola coach said he could tell from Diallo’s 16 minutes on the floor that the 6-foot-9 forward is a game-changer for the Jayhawks. “Having him available, and once he gets better come conference play, I think he’ll elevate them to the next level,” Smith said. “They’re definitely a Final Four-looking team, for sure.”

staff members hoped for the best but knew Diallo would be nervous. “We don’t bet, but we had a friendly handshake wager what would happen the first shot he took. The over/under was airball,” Self said. “Fortunately, he got an easy basket (off the Selden feed). After that happened, he was fine from a nervous standpoint. I thought he did great. Our team was really bad the first half. I thought he did fine the first half, even though the team wasn’t great. The second half, the team played better.” Diallo played so well, he’s planning on phoning family members in Mali with details of the game today. “I can’t wait ... I want to call my dad. They could not watch. Some way I can send a tape so they can watch it tomorrow,” Diallo said, proudly. “I’ve got to call my parents.” He was asked by a reporter if in the final analysis the long wait for NCAA eligibility was “worth it.” “Of course,” he said. “Of course.” KU (5-1) will meet Harvard at 2:15 p.m. Saturday in Allen.

even watching teammates play from the bench. Jamari Traylor’s relentless defensive pressure at the start of the second half rattled Loyola into retreat mode, and once the barrage started, it never stopped. The 54-point half ensured that Kansas hit the 90-point barrier for the fourth time in six games. “Jamari came out and made some plays at the beginning of the half to set the intensity defensively and got the rest of us going,” senior Perry Ellis said of KU taking control of the game after intermission. Traylor (six rebounds) has embraced his role as defensive disrupter and overall energizer, something he did in spurts the first three seasons of his career, but not with the consistency he’s showing so far. He’s quick enough to hound guards fullcourt and strong enough to pester post players in the paint. Traylor’s strong early play is one of many reasons that the strength of the team Diallo has joined is just as encouraging as the enthusiastic Mali native’s promising debut. Once Ellis rounds into top form, Kansas becomes tougher. Ellis has missed too many shots at point-blank range. “I think it’s just a mental thing,” Ellis said of too many misses at the hoop. “We aren’t focused enough on it and taking it for granted.” Ellis totaled 15 points and six rebounds. “For Perry, 15 points is not acceptable,” said Selden, who led Kansas with 18 points. “He’s in a little bit of a funk right now. Nothing big. His hip is bothering him a bit and slowing him down.” Slow is not a word that came to mind often with Kansas on a night the Jayhawks made the Greyhounds look like plowhorses by comparison.

Grizzlies 113, Pelicans 104 New Orleans — Marc Gasol scored a careerhigh 38 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, and Memphis beat New Orleans. New Orleans lost despite the return of starting guard Tyreke Evans and top reserve Norris Cole. Evans was the Pelicans’ best offensive player with 20 points and 10 assists, but that wasn’t enough to overcome a Memphis squad that scored 52 points in the paint and missed only one of 26 free throws. Gasol was 11-of-22 from the field and made all 16 of his foul shots. Zach Randolph added 14 points. Anthony Davis had 17 points, 14 rebounds and career-high-tying nine blocked shots for the Pelicans.

late chips, or the chips will melt and ruin the brownies). Spread evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. As soon as the brownies are out of the oven, place the jar of caramel sauce without the lid in a microwave and heat just until it’s pourable. Stir until smooth. Drizzle the caramel evenly over the hot brownies and sprinkle with the sea salt. Cool completely and cut into 12 bars.

The Kansas City Star

Salted caramel is a classic flavor mashup that the French mastered centuries ago, but its stateside popularity has bubbled over in recent years. Go to the grocery store and you’ll find salted caramelflavored brownie mixes, ice cream, peanut butter — even vodka. Cold Stone Creamery serves a Salted Caramel Frappe, and Starbucks has its Salted Caramel Mocha. Salted caramel could be on track to replace pumpkin spice as the “it” fall flavor. According to data gathered by the health-tracker app MyFitnessPal, pumpkin spice consumption dropped 7.3 percent from 2014 to 2015, while demand for salted caramel products increased by 7 percent. Unlike pumpkin spice, the salty-sweet flavor is enjoyed year-round. And it might have more staying power. Salt and caramel “is one of those classic combinations that will never go out of style,” says Christopher Elbow, the chef who founded Elbow Artisan Chocolates and Glacé Artisan Ice Cream. The best-selling item at Elbow Artisan Chocolates is the Fleur de Sel caramel, a jewel-like orb of chocolate encasing liquid caramel flavored with sel gris, a coarse French sea salt. At Glacé, the topselling scoop is Fleur de Sel ice cream. Caramel is delicious on its own, Elbow says, but something magic happens when you introduce salt. “Every time I make caramel, I put a little bit of salt in it,” he says. “It really makes that caramel flavor pop.” The type of salt matters. Elbow likes the subtle mineral flavors of sel gris, but other salted caramel recipes call for English Maldon sea salt, which is less bitter than table salt and has pyramid-shaped crystals. Jonathan and Amy Pitcher of Bizz & Weezy Confections sprinkle their popular dark chocolate caramels with Murray River sea salt from Australia. The pink flakes have a touch of earthy minerality that complements the chocolate, Jonathan says. The salted caramel combination is a nobrainer. But making caramel from scratch? That can be tricky. When the Pitchers started making caramel four years ago, they ruined nearly $15,000 of product. Most of the bad batches were burnt. “Caramel can be temperamental if you don’t follow some key rules,” Elbow says. The tricky part is heating the sugar just until it develops its deep caramel flavor — and pulling it from the heat before it turns bitter, crystallizes or burns. Elbow recommends swirling the pan as the caramel cooks. “You never want to stir it, because that promotes crystallization,” Elbow says. But be careful when swirling, because molten sugar is extremely hot. Tim Veith of Ibis Bakery in Lenexa, perfected his caramel skills working at Elbow Artisan Chocolates for three years and is also a fan of the swirl method. He also recommends cooking sugar with water (the “wet method” as opposed to the “dry method”) and a lid that traps steam and washes sugar granules down the sides of the pot before they can form crystals. “Those one or two crystals can cause the whole batch to turn to a

Caramel Pretzel Bars solid mass,” Veith says. Jonathan Pitcher, who is now a caramel pro, is all about the low and slow method. He cooks caramel at 275 F on an induction range. It takes longer, he says, but the caramel is harder to burn at that heat. Many batches get ruined when the sugar is scorched by the bottom or sides of the pan. If that happens, Pitcher says it’s important to not scrape the sides of the pan. “If you think you’ve ruined it, add more cream” or butter, he says. You might find that it tastes just fine — and even better with a healthy pinch of salt.
