Currently, the Kansas City Royals have players on the roster from nine states and six different countries. That bit of information lends itself to the notion that the team’s general manager, Dayton Moore, just might know a thing or two about globalization, said Moore Howard and Dawn Easley. Thursday evening, the Easleys drove nearly an hour, from Raytown, Mo., to Lawrence, to hear Moore speak on both leadership and globalization at the Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive. “He has a team that would allow him to Please see ROYALS, page 2A

have perspective on globalization,” Howard Easley said. “That’s a huge topic in all arenas of life right now.” While the Easleys say they have been dedicated fans for a long time, this year’s World Series win gave them additional motivation to hear Moore speak Thursday. “It was exciting in ’85, and it was exciting this year,” Dawn Easley said. “It was great to see, this year and last, how many people across the country and the globe became Royals fans, not just from the city.” Addressing about 200 people in attendance, Moore outlined his career, from George Mason University to the Atlanta Braves and eventually to the Royals.

Visitors bureau is honored The city’s convention and visitors bureau, eXplore Lawrence, announced Thursday it has received state and international awards this fall for its recent rebranding initiatives. At the annual Kansas Tourism Conference in October, the Travel Industry Association of Kansas named eXplore Lawrence as the firstplace award winner in integrated marketing. eXplore Lawrence also won a first-place award for its 2015-16 visitors guide, and other visitors bureaus in the state voted to give eXplore Lawrence a people’s choice award.

cards had been “compromised.” Since Farmer’s resignation, Just Food has raised more than $60,000 to pay off its tax debt to federal and state officials. The nonprofit food bank has pledged to work with law enforcement on any matters related to Farmer’s alleged improprieties at Just Food. Thus far, no charges have been filed against Farmer. Farmer moved out of his Lawrence home at 1135 Randall Road on Oct. 31, according to his landlord. He denied in a deposition for the custody case that he is living with Comeau at her house in St. Joseph.

Chris Challis, a project manager for KTen Crossing, asked the mostly supportive crowd to contact commissioners to encourage their approval. “I don’t know if we’d be here if it weren’t for the embrace that we’ve gotten from many of you,” Challis said. “We’ve had some downs, especially last year, and we might not have stuck it out.” In 2014, the LawrenceDouglas County Planning Commission denied a request from Collett for a 540,000-square-foot retail area named Southpoint Shopping Center. The planning commission voted 6-2 in August to recommend approval for zoning and planning changes required for the smaller KTen Crossing, which would be located at the intersection of South Iowa Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway. City commissioners will decide Tuesday whether to accept the planning commission’s recommendation and change the current zoning from residential to regional commercial. The action would also require a change to Horizon 2020, the city’s long-range plan, which designates the location as having auto-related commercial uses in the future. In his presentation Thursday, Challis said KTen Crossing would serve as a better southern gateway to the city than “more unsightly uses” such as a truck stop, car dealership or other possible developments allowed under Horizon 2020’s current zoning designation. “We think the transition from going from a land-use category allowing something like a truck stop to a first-class shopping center is more appropriate,” Challis said. One attendee asked

thread throughout those organizations was a sense of leadership that helped him grow, he explained. “I had great mentors,” he said. “I’ve just had a lot of really, really neat people that poured into me.” Now in a top leadership position with the Royals, Moore highlighted a leader’s need to settle disputes quickly, exceed expectations and support the other members of an organization. “When your leadership at the top is selfless and relentless about doing things the right way, it permeates throughout your entire organization,” he said. “There has to be an atmosphere of winning, togetherness and commitment to doing things the right way from the bottom all the way to the top. The culture has to be the most important part of it.” As the topic shifted toward the globalization of sports, Moore

noted that between 1996 and 2006, the Royals’ recruiting programs south of the U.S. border were dead last in expenditures, something that needed to change if the team were to succeed. “A lot of your highceiling talent in Major League Baseball is coming from Latin America,” he said. “And we knew we needed to compete for those players.” While upping their competition in Latin America has paid off for the Royals, other countries are clamoring to have their own baseball teams, Moore said. That means the international competition and globalization of baseball will only continue to expand. “You may see a true World Series some day,” Moore predicted.

whether any contracts had been signed with possible tenants. Challis said no, but that the group has received letters of intent from Academy Sports and Outdoors, The Fresh Market, HomeGoods and Old Navy. He said Collett would also have the ability to choose between Designer Shoe Warehouse and Off Broadway Shoes. They’re the type of stores Lawrence residents are traveling outside of the city to shop at, Challis said. He went on to say the retailers would create 442 jobs and generate $1.27 million in sales tax revenue for the city. Those numbers were based on a study done by Richard Caplan & Associates, a Lawrence consulting firm. When asked about how the project would affect downtown retailers, Challis said the development group avoided creating a “lifestyle center,” which typically includes boutique shops and imitates the feel of a city’s main street. Another attendee brought up the concern that additional stores could put existing, nearby retailers out of business. He specifically asked about competition between Academy Sports and Outdoors and Dick’s Sporting Goods, which is located farther north on Iowa Street. “In my hometown, we have Dick’s on one side of the street and Academy on the other,” Challis said. “Our tenants want to be here because those other guys are here. Retailing is a science. Our retailers know they are here, and they want to locate next to them.” Construction of the shopping center would not affect the Baker Wetlands, Challis said. The area around a stream to the south of the development would be left as open space. To one attendee’s question about green building practices, Challis answered that the de-

velopment would not be built to LEED-certified standards because of the expense. It’s unsure how much Collett would contribute to public infrastructure in the proposed development area. The land, south of North 1250 Road, is within city limits but currently is being used as farmland. When asked about any contribution to the infrastructure, Challis reiterated that Collett was not asking for any public incentives for the project. He said an estimated cost would be known during the project’s engineering phase. “We expect to pay our fair share for the public infrastructure,” he said. “The property is in the city currently, so the city is committed to provide services to it when it develops.” If the zoning and planning changes gain approval Tuesday, Collett hopes to start engineering and design work this winter and break ground on the project in summer 2016. It’s estimated the shopping center would open in fall 2017, about the same time the South Lawrence Trafficway is anticipated to open.

Man pleads guilty to unlawful voting ——

Case is among first batch filed by secretary of state Associated Press

Olathe — A man who illegally voted in both Kansas and Arkansas while moving has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in a case that was among the first to be filed under a new state law that gives Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach the power to prosecute election fraud allegations. Steven Gaedtke, 60, entered the plea Wednesday in Johnson County District Court, The Kansas City Star reported. He will pay the maximum $500 fine and court costs. “He’s an otherwise law-abiding Kobach citizen who made a mistake,” Gaedtke’s lawyer, Scott Gyllenborg, said.

Leaders of Kansas University’s Tobacco Free KU initiative continue to drum up support for banning all forms of tobacco from campus. The target date for implementing a tobacco ban at KU is now July 2017, KU human resources director Ola Faucher said Thursday during a report to the University Senate. “It’s still in that policy formulation, gaining-support Faucher phase,” she said. As KU works toward implementing a tobacco-free policy, similar efforts in town and beyond are gaining steam, Faucher said. The Kansas State Department of Health and Environment’s state tobacco control plan supports tobacco-free campuses because research indicates most people pick up smoking between the ages of 18 and 24, Faucher said.

Support grows for tobacco ban at KU By Sara Shepherd

WEEKEND GUIDE

Pittsburg State university campuses already are tobacco-free, she said. She said tobacco-free initiatives have begun at Kansas State, Wichita State and Emporia State universities. Nationwide, about 1,130 college campuses are now tobacco free, she said. The city of Lawrence is working on a tobacco-free policy for all city parks, and both Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan., just raised the age to purchase tobacco to 21, Faucher noted. Outgoing KU Provost Jeff Vitter said he supports Tobacco Free KU, in part because it could boost the KU Cancer Center’s quest to attain Comprehensive Cancer Center designation. “An initiative like this would reinforce the commitment of the university to a healthy campus,” Vitter said. The Student Senate is planning a public forum on tobacco in late January, Student Body Vice President Zach George said.

They built a cabin in the Arkansas Ozarks for their retirement. Kobach’s office argues that it is protecting the integrity of elections. He said Thursday that pursuing such cases will deter people from double-voting and the guilty plea is significant because, previously, such cases weren’t prosecuted or defendants avoided fines. “Five hundred dollars is not a slap on the wrist,” Kobach told The Associated Press. “That’s a lot of money in my book, plus he had to pay his attorney.” Critics say voter fraud is rare. Assistant Secretary of State Eric Rucker noted that during the 2015 legislative session, lawmakers increased several categories of unlawful voting from misdemeanors to felonies, which carry more severe potential penalties. The cases against the Gaedtkes marked the start of Kobach’s promised crackdown on voter fraud. Cases from 2010 were chosen because of a five-year statute of limitations. The types of charges and penalties were subject to the laws at the time. Kobach said his office plans to file additional election fraud cases by the end of the year.

Going Out A guide to what’s happening in Lawrence

Theatre Lawrence’s ‘Little Mermaid’ taking its audience under the sea By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

When Mary Doveton gives backstage tours at Theatre Lawrence, she’s frequently asked, “Doesn’t this stuff just come with the script?” No, it doesn’t, Doveton, executive director of the theater, explains goodnaturedly. When Theatre Lawrence signs on to stage a big-budget, hightech production like, say, “The Little Mermaid,” Disney doesn’t supply ready-made backdrops or costumes or, in this case, an oversized remote-controlled seashell. “Oh no, all of that comes from our designers,” says Doveton, who, along with her crew, has created a whole new world for Theatre Lawrence’s production of “The Little Mermaid,” which opens tonight and runs through Dec. 20. Based on the 1989 animated adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale, the musical’s “all sweetness and light and color,” Doveton says — in other words, pure Disney. Other than a few minor changes to the story and some added songs by composers Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, “The Little Mermaid” remains mostly faithful to the beloved children’s flick that spurred such hits as “Under the Sea,” “Part of Your World” and “Kiss the Girl.” They’re all there in Theatre Lawrence’s version, which is, well, very much Theatre Lawrence’s version, with aquatic lighting and aerial dancing apparatuses and sea-witch tentacles all conjured from the script and technical crew’s imagination. Doveton, who steps in once a year to direct and chose to helm “Mermaid,” has yet to see the show performed live, oth-

Following Theatre Lawrence’s tradition of staging family-friendly shows during the holidays, “The Little Mermaid” should attract its fair share of kids — “every little girl comes to see Ariel,” Doveton says of the titular sea princess — but for older theater goers who might not have grown up with the 1989 flick, there’s still plenty to enjoy — for example, the one-liners and physical comedy of Ursula and her eel sidekicks, Flotsam and Jetsam, she says. But there are also slightly weightier themes at play. Ariel, in leaving her ocean home to chase her dream of living above the waves with her beloved Prince Eric, is given more agency than earlier Disney princesses. “She has a sense of adventure,” Doveton says. “We’re concentrating on Ariel’s journey, on her adventure, on her idea of home.” At one point, Ariel has a conversation with her friend Flounder about that very theme — “what constitutes as home and how sometimes home isn’t what you thought it might be and how we form communities of friends and like-minded people.” Without spoiling anything, it’s safe to say Ariel does find her home in the end. “I think all of us like stories with happy endings — we all yearn for love and for laughter and for song,” Doveton says. “I think especially during the holidays, it’s a time to bring people together and celebrate love and family.” That’s partly what makes the little mermaid’s tale so timeless, she says.

Parents must set rules for relatives’ discipline Dear Annie: I am a 33-year-old married man. My wife and I both have children from previous marriages. My daughter sees us every other weekend, but my wife’s 10-year-old daughter lives with us. I have been supporting her since she was 3, and I love her like she was my own. My wife’s ex has no interest in seeing her. My wife has a brother who is my age. He’s never been married or had kids. Recently, while my wife was out of town, her brother and I had a falling out. He was angry with our 10-year-old for not listening to him, and told her off in a manner I found crude and disrespectful. At first, I didn’t say anything, because my motherin-law was present

and she told him to cut it out. But he didn’t listen to her and continued belittling and embarrassing the girl. I told him that if he wanted others to respect what he says, he needs to show respect himself. I also said that he was being immature and making mountains out of molehills. We argued for 20 minutes, and as he walked out the door, he told me that I wasn’t her real fa-

‘Murray Christmas’ improves Just as “A Christmas Carol” sports three ghosts, Bill Murray’s Netflix holiday special, “A Very Murray Christmas,” goes through three distinct phases: inscrutably terrible, vaguely amusing and surprisingly good. The actor is perfectly cast in this hip insider take on the making of a Christmas special. “Murray,” which is now streaming, begins inside New York’s Carlyle Hotel on Christmas Eve, when the actor is supposed to be hosting a live TV show. A blizzard has shut down the city, denying access to Murray’s audience and most of his talent, except pianist Paul Shaffer. Murray makes miserable efforts to insist that the show must go on, until a power failure pulls the plug on the whole floundering enterprise. He then rallies hotel employees and guests to entertain themselves while plowing through the Carlyle’s food and liquor. He later passes out and dreams of the Christmas spectacular he really wanted to produce. The special is directed by Sofia Coppola, who worked with Murray in “Lost in Translation.” As in that acclaimed movie, “Murray” concerns an angst-ridden man of a certain age who’s essentially trapped in a hotel time-warp and expresses emotions through accomplished, if throwaway, karaoke performances. The first terrible third of this special also reminded me of Coppola’s 2010 effort “Somewhere,” a baffling and dull affair that often unfolded in real time. There’s a difference between informing us that Murray’s special is bombing and giving viewers the impression that they are watching a complete mess. Things get much better as the booze begins to flow and the hotel’s house band performs. Like everything else streaming on Netflix, “A Very Murray Christmas” can be seen anytime and as frequently as desired. That said, if viewers choose to distract themselves with Christmas cocktails during the first 15 minutes or so, they might get into the spirit of things more easily. l “America’s Next Top Model” (8 p.m., CW, TV-PG) wraps up after 22 seasons.

If you are single, you attract many admirers who would like to be more. If you are attached, indulge your significant other as you would like it. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) HHHH You have the energy to meet demands. Reach out to someone who holds a unique opinion. Tonight: With a favorite person. Taurus (April 20-May 20) HHHH Apply some of your creativity to your workday. As a result, it might be more pleasant.. Tonight: Join the gang for TGIF. Gemini (May 21-June 20) HHH You seem to come out of your cocoon by the late afternoon, just in time for the weekend. Accomplish what you must early in the day. Your ability to charm others and draw them closer to you emerges. Pace yourself, and be more demonstrative. Tonight: Go with the moment. Cancer (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You could be very playful and full of fun in the daytime. Please be spontaneous. Tonight: Let it all hang out. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Evaluate plans for the weekend. Conversations finally flow.

no authority to discipline unless he has the parents’ permission, and this immature brother-in-law should not have such permission. And an uncle would never take precedence over a stepparent unless the stepparent was abusive or neglectful, and some other relative had to step in. That doesn’t sound like the case here. The fact that your motherin-law also found his behavior objectionable makes him sound like a bully. You and your wife should go over these issues and make sure you support one another.

Enforcement gap The high number of job openings in some Kansas law enforcement agencies is cause for concern.

fficials speculate that low starting salaries, negative publicity and other factors likely are making it more difficult for the Kansas Highway Patrol and some local law enforcement agencies across the state to recruit new officers. The result is a startling number of vacancies that may compromise the safety of Kansas residents, as well as officers on the job. It’s a situation that demands immediate attention. The Highway Patrol currently has more than 100 open positions, according to recent news reports. The Wichita Police Department reports 50 vacant positions and the Shawnee County Sheriff’s office in Topeka has 34. Fortunately, recruitment appears to be less of a problem locally. The Douglas County Sheriff reports just three deputy vacancies among 76 positions, and the Lawrence Police Department says it is fully staffed, thanks to hiring policies that allow it to plan ahead for retirements and other vacancies. Nonetheless, LPD spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley indicates that recruiting top candidates remains a challenge and “we are seeing fewer applicants who can successfully make it to the job offer stage.” Officials across the state say that highprofile cases that reflect negatively on law enforcement may be partially to blame. They also cite low starting salaries that may not attract young people — especially those trying to pay off college loans. Another factor may be that law enforcement careers seem to have gotten more dangerous in recent years, with the rise in gun violence across the country. Highway patrol officers, for instance, used to work in pairs so that an officer involved in a traffic stop had some backup. Now, they travel alone and face unknown dangers whenever they approach a vehicle on the highway. It’s true that a few high-profile cases have hurt the image of some law enforcement agencies, especially in large urban areas. Those cases should be investigated and, if warranted, prosecuted, but they involve only a small number of officers and hopefully won’t deter other young men and women from pursuing law enforcement careers. The best way to ensure a strong and respected police force is to hire highly qualified officers and maintain staffing levels that support safety and professionalism on the job. Law enforcement isn’t for everyone, but it’s an honorable profession that plays a key role in our quality of life. Governments and the public need to give those agencies the resources and respect they deserve.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 4, 1915: “A Lawrence taxpayer suggests that with the holding of the years city primaries and election not ago so far away it would be a good IN 1915 thing to submit to a vote of the people the question of whether the town should have a welfare officer or not. There is nothing the city commissioners would rather do than find out in some way just what the sentiment of the town is on that question. At present they are in doubt whether a welfare officer is demanded by more than a small assertive minority of the people of Lawrence.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

candidates covet Scott’s endorsement, which will happen only if, as the Feb. 20 vote draws near, polls show a close race, perhaps a fourpoint difference between the leaders. This could be a choice between two of Scott’s Senate colleagues, Florida’s Marco Rubio and Texas’ Ted Cruz. If, he says, South Carolinians choose well — “not sending independents fleeing in the opposite direction” — America will be en route to a Republican presidency. Scott, 50, became a congressman by defeating in a Republican primary the son of Strom Thurmond, the Dixiecrat presidential candidate in 1948 and then eightterm U.S. senator. In 2013, Scott became the second African-American Republican senator since Reconstruction (Ed Brooke of Massachusetts was the first), and today he and New Jersey Democrat Cory Booker are the Senate’s only AfricanAmericans.

State mirrors nation Henry Olsen of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, whose specialty is conservative politics, says that among the four states that vote in February (the others are Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada), South Carolina’s electorate “best mirrors the nation’s.” Writing for National Review Online, Olsen says the state’s primary electorate closely reflects the national balance among the GOP’s four factions — “moderates and liberals” (32 percent), “somewhat conservatives” (32 percent), “very

conservative evangelicals” (28 percent) and “very conservative seculars” (6 percent). Iowa, says Olsen, favors candidates who are very religious and conservative, New Hampshire favors moderates, Nevada favors conservative seculars. Here, however, a dominant cohort is that which Olsen calls the national party’s “ballast” — the “somewhat conservatives.”

Swing state bellweather South Carolina’s primary 11 weeks from now will be as distant from the state’s 1980 primary that chose Reagan as Reagan’s first presidential victory later that year was from Franklin Roosevelt’s last victory in 1944. And when South Carolina voted in 1980, the huge and still growing Boeing plant in North Charleston, the Mercedes plant in North Charleston and the BMW plant in Spartanburg were still in its future. As were the halfbacks who are another reason South Carolina no longer has stereotypical Deep South demographics. And why whichever Republican wins here will have done so in the first 2016 contest that approximates the electorates of the swing states that will determine the 45th president. This fact must be deeply satisfying to Nikki Haley, 43, South Carolina’s Indian-American governor, and to Scott, who was born 44 days after enactment of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that made all of this possible. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Speech police locking down campuses By Jay Ambrose Tribune News Service

Universities in America are getting tough on using words. If you use the word “female” or “American” or “healthy” or “violate” or “normal” or “foreigner” or “insane” or “obese,” for instance, there are those at these institutions who say you might offend someone, and, yes, I know what they are talking about. I mean, as soon as I read the word “offend” in actual accounts of administrators or professors cracking down on such verbal misbehavior, I got out my microscope, examined it with care, and discovered its deployment was a microaggression. To me, at any rate. Seeing this word was an atomistic but nevertheless painful puncture that made me think of all the times I have been offended, which is to say, insulted, belittled, snubbed, denigrated. I was suddenly full of hurt. Depressed. Traumatized. Why wasn’t I stuck in a safe zone or at least trigger-warned the word was coming? Did no one care about me? Couldn’t someone at least have posted something on the order of a movie rating, just two words in red print prior to the word “offend” saying “Adults only”? Here’s where I start talking seriously, folks, for it is far from adult, much less intellectual, for students, professors and administrators to be engaged in the moment’s absurd overkill on political correctness. What we’ve been seeing is childish and more: an assault on reason, discussion and freedom. At one school, students wanted to shut down a student newspaper for containing thoughts different from theirs while, at others, administrations have enacted speech codes and professors have threatened low grades

or failure for clinging to excoriated expressions. Invited speakers who might open minds have been disinvited by students with closed ones. Concerning forbidden expressions, the possibilities are such that the best way to stay out of trouble would seem to be round-the-clock silence unless maybe you are favored protesters. Consider this case: A Black Lives Matter group walked through a library yelling vicious vulgarities and disrupting study and then was defended by an administrator critical of “conservative” reactions. All of this and much more is part and parcel of such

reported university faults as softened study demands, the near abandonment of core humanities, student intolerance in the name of tolerance and the professorial substitution of leftist, conformist hooey for the adventure of competing ideas. The experience isn’t without cost. Students must often pay predatorily imposed, ruinously hurtful tuition fees. The heartening news is that much that is good and some that is great remains in these varied institutions and that ours is still a free enough society for there to be critiques galore. A special missive, reprinted in National Review online, came from Princeton students calling themselves the Princeton Open Campus Coalition. Their particular concern began with a protest in which black students barged into the office of university President Christopher Eisgruber and refused to leave minus their demands being met. A sense on campus, they said in a letter to the president, was that anyone at odds with protester views was subject to slander and

vilification. They politely requested a since-granted meeting with Eisgruber to discuss how the university might preserve a culture of civil discourse without intimidation but with plenty of challenge. They said no student of any set of convictions should feel “safe” from having his or her views contested and that they would like more professors who do just that. They simultaneously voiced opposition to faculty members being required to undergo “cultural competency training.” They said this sounded to them like imposing “orthodoxies” and that one professor said it reminded him of “re-education programs” in his native Romania. Not these students, certainly, and none of the critics I’ve read are shrugging their shoulders about bigotry. What they want is the kind of intellectually mature educational institutions that better enable flourishing lives. — Jay Ambrose is an op-ed columnist for Tribune News Service.

Air Force needs more bombs to hit ISIL Stock depleted in war against Islamic State Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

The Air Force has fired more than 20,000 missiles and bombs in the air war against the Islamic State, depleting its stocks of munitions and prompting the service to scour depots around the world for more weapons and to find money to buy them, according to records obtained by USA TODAY. WASHINGTON

“We’re expending munitions faster than we can replenish them,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh. “We need the funding in place to ensure we’re prepared for the long fight. This is a critical need.” Since summer, the percentage of planes dropping bombs on missions has increased. In July and August, half of the warplanes returned to base without dropping weapons, Army Col. Steve Warren, the military’s spokesman in Baghdad, said this week. By October, 60% of the planes attacked Islamic State targets, and November’s figure was 65%.

Most of the missiles and bombs have come from domestic depots, leaving those stocks with a shortage. The shortage is at least in part self-inflicted, said Loren Thompson, a defense industry consultant and military analyst at the Lexington Institute. “The U.S. air war against ISIL isn’t intense, so if missile supplies are getting low that indicates not enough were bought. There is always a temptation to skimp on purchases of ammunition and missiles in peacetime, but that can leave the military under-equipped when threats arise.”

SAN BERNARDINO, CALIF.

The married couple who massacred 14 people during a holiday party at a social services center fired up to 75 rounds into the frantic crowd and planted a crude pipe bomb device before they fled the scene, police said Thursday. Authorities said Syed R. Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, had amassed a huge arsenal of weapons, ammunition and explosive devices at their residence in nearby Redlands that they drew upon for their attack Wednesday. Twenty-one people were injured; at least two remained in critical condition.

The portrait emerging Thursday of San Bernardino shooters Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik was of a couple living a double life. On the surface, they had all the makings of the American dream — he had a secure job, they lived in a nice neighborhood in a prosperous community and had a new baby girl. But apparently in their off hours, police said, they stockpiled guns, ammunition and bombs in preparation for an attack aimed at killing as many people as possible.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Thursday it was still too early to determine whether the shooting had its roots in terrorism. The FBI’s National Security Division, which oversees terror cases, is deeply involved in investigating the backgrounds of the two dead suspects, a federal law enforcement official said Thursday. Of particular interest is the suspects’ recent travel to Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and Farook’s apparent contacts with a handful of individuals suspected of ties to radical extremism, said the official, who was not authorized to comment publicly on the matter. The official cautioned that investigators have not fully examined the contents of the couple’s electronic communication, so any suspicious messages or contacts are still under review. v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

House moves to tighten visa rules to block terror travel

White House says bill would protect USA Bart Jansen and Paul Singer USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Foreign travelers who wouldn’t normally need visas to visit the USA would have to get them if they had visited any of four countries suspected of training terrorists, under legislation House Republican leaders unveiled Thursday. Europeans are concerned that changing visa waiver rules could discourage travel between the

continents. If European travelers visited Iraq, Iran, Syria or Sudan since 2011, they would have to get visas that require consular interviews and greater scrutiny overseas, rather than simply arrive with a passport. The secretary of the Department of Homeland Security could add countries to the high-risk list during annual reviews as risks change. The secretary could suspend countries from the visa waiver program if they don’t readily share information about security risks of travelers or report lost or stolen passports. The secretary can suspend countries for immi-

GOP rebuffs new Obama gun control push Lawmakers: No-fly list idea is a denial of due process Donovan Slack, Paul Singer and Erin Kelly USA TODAY

Republicans in Congress made it clear Thursday that they will not be moving quickly to bring up new gun control legislation in the wake of Wednesday’s shootings in San Bernardino, Calif. Speaker Paul Ryan said Thursday there are still too many unknowns about the San Bernardino shootings, but he said one common theme among many mass WASHINGTON

shootings is mental illness, an issue he says Congress has already been working on with legislation. “People with mental illness are getting guns and committing these mass shootings,” Ryan said on CBS This Morning. Ryan made the same point earlier this week in reaction to the post-Thanksgiving shooting at a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic. The Wisconsin Republican said part of the discussion surrounding mental health legislation is who should and shouldn’t have access to guns, but he signaled that barring gun purchases by people on no-fly terror lists — as President Obama urged Wednesday — is not an option. Ryan said government officials put people on such lists without any due legal process and so deny-

House Speaker Paul Ryan suggested a willingness to work on some issues in gun laws.

ing those listed the right to bear arms would violate their rights. “People have due process rights in this country,” he said. He said if someone is suspected

of plotting an attack, law enforcement officials should arrest them. Ryan suggested there will be multiple issues Congress can address, whether it’s finding gaps in enforcement or passing legislation. But he said there shouldn’t be a rush to do either at the risk of “infringing upon the rights of law-abiding citizens.” “We just want to get it right,” Ryan said. Obama said Wednesday that Congress should, at a minimum, take up legislation that would bar anyone on the federal terrorist watch list from buying a gun. He told CBS News “some may be aware of the fact that we have a no-fly list where people can’t get on planes but those same people who we don’t allow to fly could go into a store right now in the Unit-

ed States and buy a firearm and there’s nothing that we can do to stop them. That’s a law that needs to be changed.” But House Republicans have rejected several Democratic attempts to use a procedural motion to bring that legislation to the House floor this week. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, brushed aside the idea of a bill to keep people on no-fly lists from purchasing guns. “On any kind of proposal the first question I ask is, ‘OK, would this proposed solution have stopped — which of the past tragedies would this proposed solution have stopped?’ ” Johnson said in an interview. “And I think the answer in so many cases is very few of them or none of them.”

Nguyen, a Vietnamese-born woman who was planning to be married in 2017, dropped by the Wednesday-morning holiday meeting at the Inland Regional Center, her cousin Calvin Nguyen told the USA TODAY Network. Neither Calvin nor the rest of Nguyen’s cousins were concerned by 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, when the relatives were texting each other about the family’s Christmas season plans. It was around 11 p.m. when Calvin’s family heard news that Nguyen, 31, was in the same facility they had seen on the news. By midnight they still hadn’t received word from Nguyen, of Santa Ana in Orange County, but had reached a tragic conclusion. “We said, if she survived, she would have called us back,” Calvin said Thursday. Nguyen, like gunman Syed R. Farook, was a food inspector with the San Bernardino County Health Department, her uncle Phu Nguyen told the Newsday newspaper. On Thursday afternoon, Calvin and about 10 other family members huddled as they approached the grief counseling center set up by the county in nearby High-

Authorities have begun to piece together key elements of the attack at the center but have not determined a motive. “If you look at the preparation, the amount of weapons and ammunition, there was obviously a mission here,” David Bowdich, assistant director of the Los Angeles FBI office, said Thursday. He added that at this early stage in the investigation, it would be “irresponsible and premature to call this terrorism.” “We cannot rule anything out at this point,” Bowdich said. The two suspects were shot and killed hours after the initial attack during a high-speed chase with officers who traced them to their Redlands residence. Two officers were slightly injured in the encounter, but none of the wounds was life-threatening. It was the nation’s deadliest shooting since a gunman killed 26 people in Newtown, Conn., in December 2012. San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said Thursday that each shooter was armed with a handgun and assault weapon. The guns were purchased legally and registered, he said. The couple wore dark tactical clothing, as well as utility vests stocked with 1,600 rounds of ammunition when they burst into the center’s conference room. “They sprayed the room with bullets,” he said. “I don’t know that there was anyone that they openly targeted.” Police found a crude, remotecontrolled explosive device made

the victims of the shooting, his friend Jack Prewett told the USA TODAY Network. Prewett had read on Facebook that Kaufman, 42, had been at the gathering when the shooting occurred but had heard that his friend of 15 years was only injured in the attack. “Initially we heard that he had been shot in the arm and was in surgery and everything was fine, and then we got that, no, that was a miscommunication.” Prewett came to the grief counseling center set up by San Bernardino County on Thursday

Marie Medina, a 20-year resident of a quiet neighborhood in Colton, Calif., woke up Thursday morning feeling a sense of relief. “They caught the guys. It’s over,” she thought at first. But when she looked out the shades of her window, she knew she was wrong. “Instead it came right into our front yard.” News vans crowded into the neighborhood, and Medina soon realized the photo of a victim she saw on TV the night before was a neighbor, Nicholas Thalasinos. The 52-year-old, an environmental health specialist was a coworker of suspected gunman Farook. According to those who knew him, Thalasinos was outspoken about political and religious topics. But he was known to be “wonderful and compassionate.” Nicholas lived with his wife, Jennifer Thompson-Thalasinos, whom he met 14 years ago. On social media, Thalasinos wrote that he received threats in the days before the attack. On Facebook Tuesday, he said he received a message full of threats, including one stating he “will die.”

Burguan said it was not clear whether the killers failed to push the button or the device simply misfired. Burguan said a search of the couple’s home turned up 2,000 9mm rounds, more than 2,500 .223-caliber rounds and “several hundred” .22 long rifle rounds, as well as 12 pipe bombs and tools for making more explosive devices. He said the pair rented their black SUV several days earlier and were supposed to return it on the day of the assault. Farook legally purchased two handguns at dealers in San Diego and Corona within the past three years, said another federal law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment publicly. Investigators were looking more closely at the transactions involving the two assault rifles, which were purchased by another person who was not immediately identified. Burguan said that although initial reports indicated as many as three shooters may have been involved, “we are confident now” that Farook and Malik acted alone.

Although the suspects’ motives were unknown, police quoted some witnesses as saying Farook had attended the annual holiday party, left in a fit of anger and returned with Malik.

The young mother and bride suspected of helping kill 14 people in San Bernardino, Calif., met her American-born husband online and married him after moving from Saudi Arabia to join him in the United States. Tashfeen Malik, 27, carried a passport from Pakistan, where she was born. She entered the U.S. on a fiancée visa in 2014, while traveling with Syed Farook, her husband-to-be, David Bowdich, assistant director of the FBI’s Los Angeles office, said Thursday. She later married Farook, a San Bernardino County restaurant inspector. He was born in the U.S. to a Pakistani family, was raised in Southern California and had been a county employee for five years, the Associated Press reported. The couple had a 6month-old daughter. Not much more is known about Malik, but the process she used to enter the country was probably the quickest way to gain an extended-stay U.S. visa, said Kamal Nawash, an immigration attorney and president of the Free Muslims Coalition, a Washington think tank that promotes secular democratic institutions in the Muslim world. Farook apparently posted at least one dating ad on the dating site iMilap.com, for people of Indian descent. In the undated ad, he said he was looking for mar-

riage and described himself as “religious but modern.” He said he enjoys working on vintage and modern cars, reading religious books “and just hang out in the back yard doing target practice with younger sister and friends.” Nawash, who has used Muslim dating sites himself, said a lot of American Muslims turn to online dating to find someone who shares their background. “Especially if you want to meet someone from your own religion, chances are you won’t meet someone in your neighborhood or town because there aren’t that many,” Nawash said. For some people, especially ultra-conservative Muslims “who don’t do dating,” because they don’t believe in out-of-wedlock interaction with the opposite sex, dating sites allow people to get to know each other without violating their religious principles, Nawash said. There also are men and women living overseas who join dating sites to find American mates, because marriage provides the easiest and quickest way to obtain a U.S. visa, Nawash said. The United States issued 36,000 K-1 visas for fiancés last year, according to State Department data. Since 2005, the State Department has issued nearly 4,000 K-1 visas to Pakistani citizens, an average of 367 each year. It issued relatively few to Saudi Arabians, only 24 in 2013. A married partner can gain a U.S. visa within a year as an immediate family member, but a fiancée can obtain a visa in half that time, Nawash said. Contributing: Nick Penzenstadler

Military to allow women in all combat positions Tom Vanden Brook and Jim Michaels USA TODAY

WASHINGTON All U.S. military combat jobs, including infantry units and special operations, will be open to women beginning next year, Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced Thursday. Carter said the decision was part of his commitment to build a force of the future. The ban will be lifted in 30 days, he said, and the services have until April 1 to accommodate women in all roles. “In the 21st Century, that requires drawing strength from the broadest pool” possible, he said, adding that the Pentagon can’t successfully defend the nation by eliminating half of the U.S. population from combat roles. The decision was immediately blasted by Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., and a member of the Armed Services Committee as a politically motivated move that will erode the ability of the military to fight. Hunter pointed to a study done by the Marine Corps that showed that infantry units with women performed worse than all-male ones.

A female U.S. soldier mans a machine gun on a vehicle during clashes in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul in 2003. “No. 1, this is being done for political reasons,” Hunter said. The armed services had been given a Dec. 31 deadline to allow women into all of its units, including elite special operations ground combat position, or to request a waiver. Those exceptions had to be backed by data showing why women would not be able to accomplish the necessary tasks. “There will be no exceptions,” Carter said. Carter appeared alone at the Pentagon briefing room to make the announcement. Absent was Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and who had been Marine Corps Commandant prior to his promotion. Under Dunford, the Marines had requested to keep 48,779 slots open to men only. Dunford was not at the briefing, Carter said, because the decision to open all jobs to women was his. Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

SANCTIONED BIOLABS’ NAMES STILL KEPT

SECRET DESPITE WHITE HOUSE MEMO

The CDC and the USDA have refused USA TODAY’s requests for the names of 100-plus labs

CDC

Alison Young USA TODAY

espite a recent White House directive calling for greater public accountability and transparency about incidents at labs working with potential bioterror pathogens, federal regulators this week continued to refuse to release key information about labs that have faced sanctions. For the past year, regulators from the Federal Select Agent Program have refused USA TODAY’s requests for the names of more than 100 U.S. labs that have faced enforcement actions for serious biosafety violations while working with pathogens such as those that cause anthrax, botulism, Ebola and the plague. The lab oversight program is jointly run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and public revelations about a series of high-profile accidents at labs operated by the CDC, the Army and other federal agencies have drawn international concern and congressional scrutiny. The CDC and USDA this week sent letters to USA TODAY continuing their refusal to answer most of the news organization’s questions about the labs that have the nation’s worst regulatory histories while working with some of the world’s most deadly viruses, bacteria and toxins. “The CDC response makes a mockery of the White House biosecurity memo calling for ‘Transparency ... and accountability to the public,’ ” said Richard Ebright, a biosafety expert from Rutgers University. The CDC and USDA said that they recognize the importance of transparency and public accountability. “We continue to work to balance protecting sensitive in-

formation that may pose a security risk with the public’s legitimate interest in being informed,” said the CDC’s letter, which refused to disclose the names of all but two of the labs that have faced sanctions. A report from federal experts attached to the Oct. 29 White House memo notes that withholding information about “select agent” labs “has negligible security value” since the labs routinely publicize their research in scientific journals and their work often is easily found through other public sources, such as on their own websites. Select agent is the government’s term for pathogens that are regulated because of their potential risk as bioweapons. The White House in a statement said the CDC’s letter to USA TODAY was consistent with previous White House guidance. Within the next year, the CDC and USDA said they will begin publishing periodic reports with aggregate information about lab incidents and inspection findings. The agencies said they are working with federal labs to develop a transparency policy. Citizen lab safety advocate Beth Willis said labs have little incentive to voluntarily release information about incidents. The public needs more than aggregate information, she said, noting that the names of nuclear facilities are made public by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. “It’s a community rights issue,” said Willis, who until last summer chaired a citizen advisory panel in Frederick, Md., near a biodefense research complex at the Army’s Fort Detrick. An ongoing USA TODAY Network investigation has uncovered numerous serious incidents in

public and private biological laboratories and revealed that pervasive secrecy obscures failures both by labs and regulators. Despite the secrecy and denials of access under the federal Freedom of Information Act, reporters have identified several labs that have faced sanctions and enforcement actions, including those operated by Kansas State University, the University of Hawaii-Manoa, the California Department of Public Health, Brigham Young University, Northern Arizona University and the Louisiana State University AgCenter. While the CDC and USDA continued this week to refuse to release the names of most labs that have faced regulatory actions, the CDC disclosed that the two labs that have had their select-agent registrations revoked were operated by state health departments in Florida and Colorado. Officials at those departments said the CDC pulled the labs’ registrations after they decided to stop working with select agents. Both state health departments still operate other labs that remain in good standing, they said. Much of the information USA TODAY has been seeking was requested in July by the bipartisan leadership of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has been investigating lab safety. The CDC provided answers to the panel’s questions last summer, including the names of labs that have faced regulatory actions. But so far, the committee has not made the information public. In response to a FOIA request, CDC released to USA TODAY what it sent to the panel with labs’ names removed.

Russell, 32, came back the next day, looking for the deer with a huge rack on its head. Twenty minutes before sunset, he spotted the deer among a group of does and one small buck. The bigger whitetail used its antlers to keep the smaller male at a distance. “I did a 50-yard belly crawl to cut the distance and got to within 175 yards,” Russell said. “I was using a Remington 700 .30-06, and when I took the shot it was a clean hit.

Some antlered does turn out to be hermaphrodites having both male and female sex organs. Both conditions are very rare, Flinn said. Russell said he sent his deer to a local taxidermist.

MONEYLINE GANNETT UNITING BRANDS IN USA TODAY NETWORK Gannett, the publishing company that owns USA TODAY and media businesses in 92 local markets, said Thursday it’s uniting its local and national brands under a new group, USA TODAY NETWORK, a move to improve coordination of its large roster of more than 3,000 journalists and other resources nationwide. The McLean, Va.-based company says the reorganization, which has been talked about for months as it split from its former parent in June, allows Gannett to produce “high quality content” for more consumers. It’s also aimed at selling to advertisers its ability to spread their messages nationally and to “hyper-local” markets, Gannett said. The local news properties will no longer identify themselves as Gannett properties but rather as USA TODAY NETWORK properties.

our tax system that should be removed.” However, Capitol Hill has been unable to reach agreement on calls for changing that provision and others that affect businesses. Partly as a result, Pfizer last month announced plans for a $160 billion merger with Irelandbased rival Allergan. If finalized, the deal would result in the New York-based pharmaceutical company shifting its headquarters to Dublin and benefiting from Ireland’s 12.5% business tax rate. “While our broken tax code sits in place, an antiquated monument to a different economic era, the sands are shifting around it, and more and more of our tax base is eroding into an international sea of harmful tax practices and ruinous tax competition,” Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, said during a Tuesday congressional hearing on tax policy. Although the strategy of keeping foreign earnings overseas has delayed a federal tax reckoning, the tactic, by itself, hasn’t generated unalloyed benefits for shareholders of companies on the top 10 list. Shares of five of the companies — ExxonMobil, IBM, Merck, Cisco Systems and Johnson & Johnson — had lost between 3.1% and 15.2% of their respective year to date values as of Thursday’s market close. Shares of General Electric, Microsoft, Apple, Pfizer and Google had gained between 4% and $43% in their similar values. In comparison, the Russell 1000 index of large cap U.S. stocks is down 0.6% this year.

European regulators on Thursday opened an investigation into whether McDonald’s was given an unfair tax advantage by Luxembourg in breach of European Union state aid rules. The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, believes that the European division of the U.S.-based fast food giant may not have paid taxes in Europe or the U.S. on profits — in the form of royalties — derived from franchise restaurants in Europe and Russia.

GENE J. PUSKAR, AP

“A tax ruling that agrees to McDonald’s paying no tax on their European royalties either in Luxembourg or in the U.S. has to be looked at very carefully,” said Margrethe Vestager, the EC’s competition commissioner. “The purpose of double taxation treaties between countries is to avoid double taxation — not to justify double non-taxation,” she said. McDonald’s shares closed down 0.29% at $113.39 Thursday. McDonald’s said it complies with all European tax laws and rules and pays a “significant amount” of corporate income tax. “In fact, from 2010-2014, the McDonald’s companies paid more than $2.1 billion just in corporate taxes in the European Union, with an average tax rate of almost 27%,” it added. The probe is the latest in a number of cases the EU has opened into the tax affairs of U.S. multinational corporations operating in Europe.

Dow drops 250 points; Nasdaq loses 1.7% Euro spikes against the dollar after stimulus falls short Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

NEW YORK The Standard & Poor’s 500 dropped back into the red for 2015, and the Dow ended down 252 points Thursday after stimulus efforts by the European Central Bank disappointed investors and Wall Street braced for the November jobs report. The Dow Jones industrial aver-

ECB president Mario Draghi didn’t deliver on the market’s hopes for a steep interest rate cut. age, which earlier had been off more than 300 points, ended the day down 1.4% at 17,478. The benchmark S&P also fell 1.4%, pushing it to a year-to-date loss. That left the Nasdaq composite as the only of the big three U.S. indexes in the black for 2015. ECB President Mario Draghi

didn’t deliver on the market’s hopes for a steep interest rate cut, and the failure to give the market the amount of stimulus it hoped for caused the euro to spike against the dollar. Stock traders also interpreted Draghi’s inability to push through a more aggressive package as a signal that it will be more difficult for him to get inflation moving higher as hoped. The big pain was felt in Europe, where shares plunged. This came just a day after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen reiterated that the U.S. central bank was leaning toward hiking borrowing costs this month for

the first time in nearly a decade. The ECB’s moves to boost stimulus contrasts with the direction of the Fed as it pushes rates higher amid an improving job market. Markets are bracing for the potential fallout from the different directions that the Fed and ECB are moving in terms of support for markets. And Friday brings key economic news in November’s employment report. If the U.S. economy continued to create jobs at a solid pace, after producing a betterthan-expected 271,000 jobs in October, it will virtually cement a Fed rate hike Dec. 16, barring any shocks between now and then.

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

The November jobs report released by the U.S. government on Friday before Wall Street’s opening will be viewed through the prism of the Federal Reserve and what it means for U.S. interest rate policy. The nation’s central bank, via comments to Congress from Chair Janet Yellen this week, is now on record as saying it thinks the U.S. economy is finally strong enough to withstand the first interest-rate increase in nearly 10 years. One of the two primary indicators the Fed focuses on is the health of the U.S. employment market, as well as the outlook for inflation. Well, a blowout jobs report in October, when the econo-

my created 271,000 new jobs, pushed the odds of a rate hike at the Fed’s December meeting to roughly 75%. And Wall Street is pretty much convinced the Fed will start the rate liftoff in a few weeks if job gains are solid again in November. Wall Street economists are forecasting job gains of 200,000 in November. Any number near that is all it likely will take to cement the rate hike. Steve Blitz, chief economist at ITG, says all it will take is job gains north of 150,000 for the Fed to pull the trigger. “(150,000) should be a number that adds to the general perception that the Fed will finally make its first rate hike” since 2006, Blitz predicts. It would take a jobs number of 100,000 or below “to make the Fed take notice” and consider holding off again on raising rates.

Wall Street bets on breakup for stock to work out Q: Is Yahoo stock now a bargain? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Yahoo is reportedly looking to sell its bits and pieces. But with so many moving parts, trying to make money by owning the stock now is pure speculation. There’s certainly a case to be made that Yahoo is worth more if it’s broken up and sold to the highest bidder. The market is saying Yahoo’s core Internet portal business is worthless. The entire company has a market value of $33.7 billion. But of that $33.7 billion, keep in mind $32 billion is accounted for with the 15% stake of Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba that Yahoo owns. Another roughly $8 billion is associated with Yahoo’s 35% ownership of Yahoo Japan. Even as Yahoo’s core business is less than worthless in the eyes of investors, the company does have a decent balance sheet with $8 billion in cash and $1.2 billion in long-term debt. Perhaps it’s the unlocked value story that has caught Wall Street analysts’ attention, who on average rate the stock “outperform” and say it could be worth $41.74 a share in 18 months. If they’re right, that would be strong upside from the current price of around $35 a share. But it’s a stock for speculators since the cash flow doesn’t justify the current price, stock researcher New Constructs says. Wall Street is betting on a sale for this stock to work out.

Standard & Poor’s lowers ratings on eight major U.S. banks Move comes after Fed adopts rule that would limit bailouts Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Standard & Poor’s slashed the credit ratings of the holding companies for eight major global banks amid growing evidence that the U.S. government would not bail them out in the event of another financial crisis. The move comes after the Fed-

eral Reserve on Monday adopted a rule that would limit emergency loans to failing companies, formalizing a policy that was central to congressional reform efforts in the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008. The rule would have prevented the Fed from bailing out AIG and Bear Stearns during the global financial crisis that crunched the credit markets in 2008 and 2009. The Fed could still provide liquidity to a general program designed to improve credit availability to struggling markets, and Congress could yet decide to intervene at any time.

Bank of America is one of eight U.S. banks that had its rating downgraded.

DANIEL ACKER, BLOOMBERG

“Although we do not rule out the possibility that a U.S. (major bank) could receive extraordinary government support if an orderly liquidation proved more disruptive than expected, the predict-

ability of such support, in our view, has significantly declined such that we view it as uncertain,” S&P said. The downgrade affects the holding companies for Bank of

America, Bank of New York Mellon, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, State Street, Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo. S&P maintained current credit ratings for the operating units of those banks. The ratings agency noted that new Fed rules will require banks to bolster their capital reserves to guard against potential losses, theoretically limiting the chances of a sudden collapse. The Fed rules derive from the Dodd-Frank Act, which increased regulatory oversight of Wall Street in the wake of the Great Recession.

GET OUT THE ALUMINUM POLE There’s Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa ... and then there’s Festivus “for the rest of us.” Sony Pictures Television has partnered with Pandora to create a custom ‘Seinfeld’ Festivus station, drawing inspiration from the made-up holiday featured on the sitcom. The station, which launches Monday, will feature holiday music as well as stand-up comedy from co-creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David. It will be available through Dec. 24.

Lee’s ‘Chi-Raq’ arrives with a grim timeliness Modern-day take on ancient Greek comedy tackles gun violence Patrick Ryan

@PatRyanWrites USA TODAY

SONY

HOW WAS YOUR DAY? GOOD DAY OPRAH WINFREY The media mogul, whose book club produced dozens of best sellers, is writing a memoir that will draw on her life story GETTY IMAGES for inspirational advice. ‘The Life You Want’ is due in January 2017, Flatiron Books announced Thursday. In addition, the publisher said Winfrey will be given her own book imprint, which will publish several non-fiction titles a year chosen by her. (The imprint does not yet have a name.)

Spike Lee’s political satire ChiRaq filmed on Chicago’s South Side for just over a month this summer. “In the time that we were there filming, I believe 65 people were killed and 300 shot” in Chicago, star Teyonah Parris says. “That’s outrageous.” Chi-Raq (in theaters Friday) is a modern take on Aristophanes’ 2,000-year-old Lysistrata, in which a woman persuades wives to withhold sex from their husbands in an effort to end the Peloponnesian War. Lee’s movie updates the setting to presentday Chicago, nicknamed “ChiRaq” for the city’s startling guncrime death toll. Parris stars as the titular Lysistrata, whose rapper boyfriend (Nick Cannon) leads one of the neighborhood’s rival gangs. A girl’s death by a stray bullet inspires Lysistrata to start a chastity movement, which escalates into a worldwide sex strike. The actress appeared in a production of Lysistrata as a student at Juilliard, and Lee was introduced to the play through cowriter Kevin Willmott, who brought him the script six years ago. The film was picked up this summer by Amazon Studios as its first original movie.

BEN GABBE, GETTY IMAGES

Al Sharpton, Teyonah Parris and director Spike Lee gather for the premiere of Chi-Raq Tuesday in New York. “Timing is everything,” Lee says. “It wasn’t meant to be six years ago. This Friday was meant to be.” References to Ferguson, Trayvon Martin and the Black Lives Matter movement are namedropped throughout. Jennifer Hudson co-stars as a grieving mother. “I asked (Hudson) with trepidation, knowing her history with her mother, brother and nephew being murdered in Chicago (in 2008),” Lee says. But “she knew what I wanted and she said, ‘OK, let’s go.’ ” More than 350 mass shootings have been reported in the USA this year alone (including Wednesday’s killing of 14 in San Bernardino, Calif.), according to crowd-sourced database Mass Shooting Tracker. Could a wide-

spread crusade of women abstaining from sex actually make men put down their guns? “That was just a device” to raise awareness, Lee says. “It’s a very complex issue, and it’s going to take strategies and movements at different levels: state, federal, Americans being very careful who they are voting into office. All these things need to come together to make something happen.” Parris is more optimistic. “I absolutely think this could happen (in the USA),” citing the example of Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee, who organized a sex strike that helped end the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003. Gun violence is “all of our problem,” Parris adds. “We have to deal with that.”

Steps to take in finding a home inspector Linda a. ditch

In hiring a home inspector, it’s important to make sure they are insured and are members of the American Society of Home Inspectors.

Hometown Lawrence

You’ve made an offer on your dream home. However, will the heating system last the winter? Is the wiring up to code? Are the roof and foundation structurally sound? Now is the time to hire a home inspector to provide an objective view of the house and identify any hidden problems. While an inspection is not required to complete the purchase, most buyers like the peace of mind one provides. Time can be allotted for the inspection in the signed contract so any issues can be addressed before closing. How do you find a reputable inspector? “Asking your sphere of friends about recommending a good home inspector is a great way to decide on the right one,”

Stephens Real Estate co-owner Chris Earl suggested. “As Realtors, we have contact information for multiple local inspectors as well. Also, there are a couple of different certifications that inspectors can earn that are good tools for qualifying an inspector.” Once you have a list of names, do your research on each one, since the state of Kansas does not license inspectors. Don’t be afraid to ask for references. Also, make sure they are insured, including errors and omissions insurance to cover any costs should the inspector miss something or make a mistake. It’s a good idea to look for inspectors who are members of the American Society of Home Inspectors (www. homeinspector.org), a non-profit

professional organization that requires members to meet specific professional and ethical business standards. The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (www.nachi.org) is another good resource. The websites for both organizations allow you to search for member inspectors in this area. After the inspection is complete, the buyer and Realtor review the findings with the inspector. Don’t be surprised if some problems are found. No house is perfect. This doesn’t mean you should bail on the purchase. What it does mean is the buyer and seller will need to reach a reasonable compromise on how to deal with the problems. It all depends on the terms of

the contract. Earl explained, “For example, the most common method is for the buyer to have the opportunity to ask for repairs after the results of the home inspection. The seller can make all repairs and the deal moves forward. If the seller declines to make some or all repairs, the buyer has the option to opt out of the contract or proceed.” Another option is to do an “As Is” sale. After the inspection, the buyer can give a thumbs up or down on the sale without the

seller making any repairs. Or a “deductible” can be requested, where the buyer pays for part of the repair cost. “As with many facets of the real estate purchase process, a well-trained Realtor can help you decide the inspection procedure that works best for you and write the contract accordingly,” Earl said. — Linda A.

KANSAS VOLLEYBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Border War is just part of match The gigantic television screen in the Naismith room on volleyball Selection Sunday revealed that Missouri had been sent to Lawrence for the NCAA tournament and the Jayhawks immediately erupted, a show of emotion that proved today’s Border War match involves more than a spot in the Sweet 16, which in itself is plenty exciting. “Growing up in Kansas, especially the ones of us that have, we have that rivalry in our bones,” said KU defensive specialist Anna Church, a Fairway native. “We’re pretty pumped to play Mizzou tomorrow.” That beats denying that Missouri as the opponent adds an interesting wrinkle. The question then becomes what to do about it. “I feel we will be focused on our side more, playing our game,” said Kansas senior Tiana Dockery, an explosive athlete with laser focus. “If we think too much about how they are playing, it loses focus a little bit. I think we will come together as a team and play our game because Missouri obviously is going to play their game. I feel it’s going to be great all around.” This is Missouri’s fourth year in the SEC after bolting the Big 12. The bitter rivals have not scheduled each other in any sports, but they have met in the postseason three times, twice in softball and once in soccer. Missouri has won all three times. The rivalry, the buzz in the air, the talk around town all will serve as reminders to the competitors of the importance of the outcome to those outside the court. Emotion can be a doubleedged sword in sports, which begs the question of how to play that angle. “I thought Dock captured it pretty well,” Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. “If you get so worried about what’s going on the other side of the net and the opponent, you lose track of what got you here and what you do well. Let’s try to stay in touch with that. I know it’s Mizzou, but more importantly, it’s to get to a regional.” The energy from the stands figures to make its way onto the court, get the adrenaline flowing, which heightens focus and leads to sharper play. In other words, it could make for one phenomenal volleyball match inside intimate Horejsi. “None of our kids have ever done this before,” Missouri coach Wayne Kreklow said of playing in a Border War rivalry match. “For all the old folks it’s a big deal, but for the kids, they look at you like, ‘I don’t really know what you’re talking about.’ So for them not as much as for the fans and the people who have been involved in it over the years.” Until the first set starts anyway.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SOPHOMORE KELSIE PAYNE (8) HAMMERS THE BALL over Furman blockers Amelia Bohlander (1) and Jamila Johnson during the first round of the NCAA volleyball tournament Thursday night at Horejsi Center. The Jayhawks swept the Paladins in three sets and will face the Missouri Tigers in the second round of the tournament. First serve is set for 6:30 p.m. at Horejsi Center.

Furman dispatched, KU-Mizzou is next By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s volleyball team may not have been as sharp as usual during a 3-0 first-round NCAA Tournament victory over Furman on Thursday night in Horejsi Center. Yet the outcome was never in doubt for the (272) Jayhawks, who advanced into today’s much-anticipated second-round contest against (27-5) Missouri, a 3-1 first-round winner over Missouri State. Tip for the latest edition of the Border War is 6:30 p.m., in Horejsi. “Our passing wasn’t great tonight — our first pass and our serve,” KU coach Ray Bechard said after a 25-14, 25-21, 25-17 victory over the (21-9) Paladins, who led most of the second set until KU reserve Tori Miller entered and won four straight serves to help turn a 20-19 deficit into a 23-20 advantage.

“Yes, we had 11 aces, but 10 errors in three sets is too many,” Bechard added. “We usually pass on a 3-point scale around a 2.3 or 2.4 and we were around a 2.0 tonight. Part of that is it’s tourney time. I don’t care what sport it is, you see a lot of pretty solid performers have to kind of work their way into an NCAA Tournament.” The Jayhawk players didn’t cite any NCAA jitters, but did concede the performance wasn’t necessarily dominant. “I feel we could have cleaned up a lot of things, but holding together I think is something that we do really well — coming back and getting the next point and trying to focus on that part,” said senior outside hitter Tiana Dockery, who had six kills. She and sophomore outside hitter Madison Rigdon (six kills) combined on some vicious serves that buried the Paladins in the final set. “Kind of like first-game NCAA Tournament, so we

got that out (of the way). Now it’s like we need to play our game from here on out no matter what,” Dockery added. Furman led by scores of 7-3, 8-4, 15-13 and 20-18 in the second set. That’s when Kelsie Payne and Janae Hall combined on a block to make it 20-19. At that point, Bechard had Derby native Miller enter to serve for Dockery. Four points later, KU was in control. “She killed it,” said KU senior defensive specialist Anna Church, who had seven digs. “She came in and did her job and what we needed her to do. Coming off the bench, it’s our job to do whatever the team needs us to do. At that moment she did exactly what we needed, so she definitely deserves credit.” Bechard explained what seemed to be a puzzling move to insert Miller, who had yet to play in the all-important NCAA contest. “Dock is a little more high-

risk server, so she served for Dock in that situation,” Bechard said. “The whole staff said ‘It’s time out, let’s sub her out, because that’s the hardest time to try to serve a jump serve (like Dockery’s) after a time out.’ Tori ... we knew she was going to serve tough and in and play good defense back there. She got us on a little run that was critical in finishing that second game. That’s what this team does. They understand their role. They know what they need to do. Tori did a great job of that tonight.” Of the Payne block that preceded the Miller-led run, Bechard said: “Not only does that create tremendous energy on our side, it’s extremely deflating on the other side. The most intimidating skill in the sport is when someone blocks you like that. She midway through the first set and second set was phenomenal offensively, too,” he added of Please see VOLLEYBALL, page 3C

Vick is another high-flying KU freshman By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Cheick Diallo wasn’t the only Kansas University freshman to deliver a crowd-pleasing dunk (or three) in Tuesday’s 94-61 nonconference basketball rout of Loyola Maryland in Allen Fieldhouse. First-year player Lagerald Vick, a 6-foot-5 guard from Memphis, showed his freakish athletic ability by skying to retrieve a missed layup by Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, hang in the air and throw one down with 4:10 to play. “Just running the floor and following up the play,” Vick explained of his tech— Tom Keegan appears on nique on his slam in a game The Drive, Sunday nights on in which the 6-9 Diallo had WIBW-TV. three jams and 6-5 junior

Wayne Selden, Jr., two. “I saw the ball coming off, grabbed it and put it in. It just feels amazing,” Vick added of the sensation of giving KU an 85-54 lead and displaying some of the athleticism he’s known for before 16,300 onlookers. “Always keep running and having energy,” Vick stated of his preferred style of play. “I’m trying to be a lockdown defender. I’m working on that part and letting the rest of the game come to me.” Vick — he averaged 26.0 points and 11.0 rebounds a game his senior season at Memphis’ Douglass High — has scored 14 points while averaging 10 minutes per game in four games. He’s hit six of nine shots, including

one of four three-pointers. Vick has also made one of four free throws and has four assists to five turnovers. “I see myself getting better,” Vick said. “Becoming a defender, getting stronger, just listening to the older guys. I get along with the team very well. I like being around the guys. I would say Jamari (Traylor) has been a mentor. I’m listening to him every day at practice — him and Wayne (Selden, Jr.) But I hang out with Carlton (Bragg, freshman) a lot.” KU coach Bill Self has been pleased with the progress of Vick, who averaged Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo 4.5 points and 2.3 rebounds in eight games last sum- KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD LAGERALD VICK (2) PULLS UP FOR A JUMPER against Loyola Please see HOOPS, page 3C Maryland Tuesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

The 3-0 win sets up tonight’s match between the No. 9-ranked Jayhawks and No. 25 Missouri Tigers. MU leads the all-time series, 51-34, and has won the last three meetings, the last match a four-set KU loss in 2011 in Horejsi. “They’ve got a twosetter system. They are much more physical than Furman,” Bechard said. “They have a number of ways they can come at you offensively. We had to beat a really good Creighton team a couple years ago. It’s not much different than what we need to do tomorrow

for KU’s gold-medal winning World University Games team. He shot 51.6 percent from the field including 57.1 percent from three during the Games. He hit two of three treys, scored eight points and had six boards in a win over Brazil. Also, he had 11 points off 5-of-8 shooting with seven boards against Switzerland. “He’s quick,” Self said. “The more I study him I say, ‘Gosh is he going to have an unbelievable body.’ He’s so long and sleek. He reminds me so much of a kid at Tulsa, Eric Coley, tough guy, same kind of build, big hands, long — kind of a Kawhi Leonard deal. “He’s going to be terrific. I’m pleased with his development so far. There are not a lot of guys quicker than him. He could be a really good defender.” As far as the other frosh dunker, Diallo, Vick said: “He was a little nervous playing in front of 16,000.

When it comes down to it, we still have got to find a way to win.” Noted Hall, who, along with Tayler Soucie had seven kills Thursday, “It’s really exciting just because we’ve never had the chance to play them before. Knowing the history of the rivalry, it’s always fun to play new teams and to play a team that has history with us. We’re really excited. We know they are going to be a good team and we’ll have to play our best and finish that game.” Missouri’s Kira Larson, who hails from North Dakota, provided her take: “My goal and my goal for my other teammates is to just go out there and play like it’s anybody else. Go out there and fight for it.”

I told him, ‘Defense first and offense will come.’’’ Diallo had 13 points, all in the second half. KU as a team led just 40-36 at the break before outscoring Loyola, 54-25, the final 20 minutes. “We took a step in the locker room. Everybody checked themselves,” Vick said, no pun intended. “We came out with a different aggression to the game. We took advantage of what we can do.” l

Carmelo-driven: Diallo, by the way, talked more about one of his three dunks — the one in which he put his left hand behind his head while flushing the ball through the hoop — on KU’s postgame radio show. “It was a ‘Carmelo move,’’’ he said of Carmelo Anthony. “I used to do it in high school, Jordan Brand Classic, too. The ‘Carmelo move.’’’ l

Firebirds ACE first test points from Wilburn. The 6-foot-3 senior scored on putbacks, jumped in passing lanes for steals and scored on two layup-andthe-foul buckets. Gudde added seven points in the third quarter by driving the lane and finishing through contact near the rim. “It’s always easier to play if you have a 20-point lead, but I think we did a good job holding that lead throughout the game,” said Gudde, who finished just shy of a double-double with 16 points and eight rebounds. “I’ve been playing with Chrision and all of them for three years now and I think all of our team chemistry is coming together. I think we’ll be real good this year.” With the benches cleared in the fourth quarter, the Firebirds shot 9-for-14 from the floor. Sophomore Reece White-Downing led with seven points in the final period. “This is the best night of the year - the first night to get it going,” Stroh said. “It was fun. We had a great crowd for the first night, especially being a Thursday. We have a week to get better.” Free State will play host to Mill Valley (ranked No. 5 in Class 5A) at 7 p.m. on Dec. 11.

Free State High’s boys basketball team entered Thursday’s season opener against African Centered College Prep with a new coach, new jerseys and a few players in bigger roles. If there were any pregame nerves, they disappeared once the Firebirds hit their first shot. Free State rolled to an 80-37 blowout victory at FSHS, giving coach Sam Stroh his first win with his new school. The Firebirds raced out to a 27-3 lead in the first 10 minutes, forcing nine turnovers on defense and 12 missed shots. Sloan Thomsen, a 6-foot-5 junior, drilled a three-pointer from the right corner on the team’s second possession and Free State never looked back, scoring the first 12 points of the contest. Senior forward Hunter Gudde, senior forward Chrision Wilburn and junior guard Jacob Pavlyak added layups in the opening spurt. “That’s the way we want to start a game — be solid on the defensive end,” Stroh said. “I thought we attacked the basket and knocked down some big shots to start the game. The first game you have to get the jitters out and I thought, after we knocked down a few shots, we were good to go.” In the final 90 seconds of the first quarter, 6-foot-3 junior guard Shannon Cordes drained two three-pointers, including a buzzer-beater assisted from Pavlyak. Senior point guard Kristan Rawls added a layup in between Cordes’ triples. The Firebirds had 12 different scorers Thursday, led by Gudde (16 points), Wilburn (15) and Cordes (10). “I think that’s going to

Any given night, I think someone is capable of knocking down some shots and getting into double figures for us.” In the second quarter, the Knights cut their deficit to 33-18 after going on

a 12-4 run, but they would never pull any closer. FSHS senior forward Darian Lewis ended the first half with a buzzerbeating layup off an inbounds pass. The Firebirds (1-0) kept momentum by scoring on eight of their first nine possessions in the second half, highlighted by 10

Baldwin girls, boys take wins over Tonganoxie J-W Staff Reports

Baldwin City — Sophomore Abby Ogle poured in 19 points as the Baldwin High School girls overwhelmed a visiting Tonganoxie team, 63-19, Thursday in the seasonopening basketball game for both teams. The game was over quickly as Baldwin built a 23-3 advantage at the end of the first quarter, employing a running and pressing up-tempo game. Ogle led the way in the opening quarter with nine points for the Bulldogs. “We were going really fast,” Ogle said. Baldwin lost three

starters 5-10 or taller from the 2014-2015 team that finished 21-4 and earned a second-place trophy in the 4A Division I state tournament.

Baldwin City — The Baldwin Bulldog boys rode hot shooting from behind the arc Thursday to a season-opening 6050 victory against Tonganoxie. Baldwin seniors Jackson Barth and Austin Ward knocked down treys on the Bulldogs’ first two possessions of the third quarter, expanding the team’s narrow 2221 lead to a seven-point advantage. Baldwin was able to play with the lead the rest of the way, in contrast to the back-andforth first half. The two seniors led the way for the Bulldogs with Ward scoring a game-

NBA roundup The Associated Press

Heat 97, Thunder 95 Miami — The last lead change belonged to Dwyane Wade, and with it a win went to Miami. Wade scored 28 points, including two free throws with 1.5 seconds left that put Miami ahead to stay and the Heat topped Oklahoma City on Thursday night in a wild backand-forth game that featured 38 lead changes and 11 ties. Chris Bosh scored 16 points and Goran Dragic added 14 for Miami, which survived when Russell Westbrook’s three-point try from the right wing bounced off the backboard as time expired. “That felt like the playoffs,” Wade said. “That was our best game of the year. From start to finish we really executed. We took the individual challenge. They’ve got two of the greatest players in our game and they’ve got a good team so this is our best win of the year.” Westbrook and Kevin Durant each scored 25 for Oklahoma City, which misfired on a pair of threes in the final 10 seconds. Durant missed a three-pointer and Bosh grabbed the rebound, calling time with 7.7 seconds remaining. That set up the possession where Wade drove, drew a foul on Serge Ibaka and put Miami ahead for good. No other NBA game entering Thursday had more than 25 lead changes this season — and in Wade’s 13-season career with the Heat, no Miami game ever had more than 31. Durant’s three-pointer with 1:32 left was the 37th lead change of the night, and put Oklahoma City up 95-93.

Nuggets 106, Raptors 105 Toronto — Will Barton came off the bench to score 22 points and Danilo Gallinari added another 21 as Denver stopped an eight-game losing streak. Denver avoided its first nine-game losing streak since the 2002-03 season, when it dropped 14 in a row. Joffrey Lauvergne had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Nuggets. DeMar DeRozan scored a Raptors’ seasonhigh 34 points and Kyle Lowry had 16. The Nuggets never trailed, with Gallinari’s jump shot 1:41 into the game putting them ahead to stay. A desperation three by Lowry as time expired closed the final deficit to one point.

Magic 103, Jazz 94 Salt Lake City — Tobias Harris scored 17 points, and Orlando beat Utah for its season-best fifth straight win. The Magic went into the fourth quarter trailing by a point, then quickly took control. Evan Fournier’s three-pointer put Orlando ahead 92-84. The Jazz cut it to four, but Nikola Vucevic hit a jumper and Elfrid Payton scored on a transition layup with 1:42 remaining to push the lead back to eight.

UCLA 87, No. 1 Kentucky 77 Los Angeles — Thomas Welsh led five players in double figures with 21 points, and UCLA knocked off Kentucky on Thursday night in the Bruins’ first victory over a top-ranked team since 2003. Bryce Alford and Isaac Hamilton added 15 points each, Tony Parker had 11 and Aaron Holiday 10 for the Bruins (5-3), who led almost the entire game and shot 53 percent from the field. They last beat a No. 1 team on March 13, 2003, defeating Arizona 96-89 in overtime. Some fans dashed onto the court to celebrate at the buzzer, but the majority were held back by security. Isaiah Briscoe led Kentucky (7-1) with 20 points. Jamal Murray added 17 and Derek Willis added 11. The Wildcats had five players in foul trouble, including Alex Poythress, who fouled out with four points with under 10 minutes left. They lost a regular-season game for the first time since March 8, 2014, at Florida. Kentucky shot its worst of the season at 38 percent. The result was a dramatic turnaround from

Trail Blazers 123, Pacers 111 Portland, Ore. — Damian Lillard had 26 points and backcourt partner CJ McCollum added 21, and Portland snapped Indiana’s six-game winning streak. The loss snapped the Pacers’ four-game road winning streak. The Pacers haven’t won five straight on the road since the final five road games of 2011-12.

last December, when the Wildcats dealt the Bruins a 39-point drubbing in Chicago. Kentucky opened that game with a 24-0 run and led 41-7 at halftime. This time, the Bruins dominated from the start, going on a 9-0 run after Kentucky scored the game’s first basket. They ran off 10 straight points later in the half, when the Bruins shot 50 percent and led by 11. UCLA opened the second half with a 17-10 spurt to build its largest lead of 15. Welsh and Parker, who both had two points in the first half, scored six points each. The Wildcats couldn’t get their offense in gear, appearing to try to do too much in a desperate bid to reduce their doubledigit deficit. They got within single digits just once — early in the second half.

Woodard to Cornish retires from CFL be recognized this weekend By Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University’s greatest women’s basketball player is coming home for the weekend. Four-time Kodak AllAmerican Lynette Woodward will be recognized for her achievements in women’s basketball during the first timeout of the Kansas men’s basketball game against Harvard on Saturday. She will also be recognized during the first quarter break of the women’s basketball game against St. John’s on Sunday. In May, Kansas women’s basketball legend Lynette Woodard was selected as the 2015 Naismith Outstanding Contributor to Women’s Basketball Award delivered by UPS and the Atlanta Tipoff Club. “I am very honored and excited to receive this prestigious award,” Woodard told the Atlanta Tipoff Club. “Thank you to the Atlanta Tipoff Club for recognizing me as the 2015 Naismith Outstanding Contributor to Women’s Basketball Award. I am very proud to be included with such an elite group. I have been blessed in so many ways by the game I love. I will cherish this award and always be grateful for this recognition!” The all-time leading scorer for Division I women’s collegiate basketball with 3,649 points, Woodard currently holds nine KU women’s basketball records, along with being the all-time leading scorer in Kansas basketball history, both men’s and women’s. In 1983, Woodard was selected USA Basketball’s Female Athlete of the Year. “We are so excited that Lynette will receive this honor on the court where she did so many wonderful things,” said KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger. “Lynette is not only the greatest player in KU women’s basketball history, she is also one of the greatest players in the history of the women’s game. This is a great opportunity for KU fans to welcome her back to James Naismith Court.” A two-time Olympian, in 1980 and 1984, Woodard served as a captain of the USA’s first gold-medal winning Olympic team in 1984. She became the first female to play for the Harlem Globetrotters (198587). Woodard played professionally in Italy, Japan and two seasons

In 2004, Woodard was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame and in 2005 into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. “Since I was hired in April, it’s been a big goal of mine to try to tie our current players to alumni,” said head coach Brandon Schneider. “There’s no greater alum of Kansas women’s basketball than Lynette Woodard. We are so fortunate that the athletic department is honoring her and that she can be around to interact with our current players.” Along with Woodard, Bill Raftery, who called his first NCAA Men’s Final Four earlier this year, was named the 2015 Naismith Outstanding Contributor to Men’s Basketball. “These are two legendary figures in basketball who have been tremendous ambassadors of the sport for decades,” Atlanta Tipoff Club executive director Eric Oberman said in a press release. “Their contributions are vast and prestigious and are still held in high esteem today. We are proud to recognize both Lynette and Bill as Naismith Award winners.” Following her permanent retirement in 1999, Woodard returned to the University of Kansas as an assistant coach for the women’s basketball team. In 2004, she filled in as the team’s interim head coach, after her predecessor was forced to step down for health reasons. Since 2005, Woodard has worked as an investment adviser for Cornerstone Securities.

Kansas University’s strongest connection to Canadian football is no more. Wednesday, former KU great and CFL star Jon Cornish announced his retirement from the Canadian Football League after one of the most impressive nineyear careers in recent CFL history. “All good things come to an end,” said the 31-year-old Cornish while announcing he had reached the end of the road. “It’s been a long time, but I’m definitely happy that I’ve spent the time to prepare myself for today.” Long before former Kansas standouts Chris Harris, Aqib Talib, Darrell Stuckey, Bradley McDougald and others were making Jayhawks proud with their strong play in the NFL, Cornish was tearing up the CFL and giving Kansas a prominent place in professional football. Drafted in the second round of the 2006 CFL draft, Cornish, who still owns KU’s single season rushing record (1,457 yards in 2006) and ranks 10th on KU’s all-time rushing list (2,245 from 2003-06) spent all nine of his CFL seasons with the Calgary Stampeders. He leaves the game as a two-time Grey Cup winner and with possession of the MVP trophy from 2013 and three All-Star and Most Outstanding Canadian trophies, accomplishments that are

Cornish announced his retirement from the Canadian Football League on Wednesday. sure to earn him a spot in the CFL Hall of Fame. “I’m very comfortable with my decision,” said Cornish at his retirement press conference. “Over the years with this team, I feel we’ve been able to achieve everything that is possible to achieve both as a team and as an individual.” After a slow start to his career, Cornish caught fire a few seasons in and quickly became one of the most feared offensive weapons in the CFL. He enjoyed three 1,000-yard seasons and leaves fourth on Calgary’s all-time rushing list. He finishes his career with 6,844 yards and 44 touchdowns rushing and another 1,666 yards and 9 TDs receiving.

“Jon was an exceptional player for this franchise and I congratulate him on an excellent career,” said Calgary GM John Hufnagel, who served as Cornish’s head coach for eight of his nine seasons in Calgary. “He earned his dues early in his career with hard work and commitment on special teams while gradually earning more playing time on offense. After he became the starter, he developed into one of the best running backs in the history of this franchise and this league.” Injuries cut Cornish’s final season short. A broken thumb and concussion during the 2015 season limited him to just nine games and he missed both of Calgary’s playoff games.

A native of New Westminster, British Columbia, Cornish now hopes to spend his time promoting both the CFL and the Calgary franchise as well as serving as an advocate for brain health in the game. “There’s a certain shelf life every player has,” Cornish said. “Being honest, do I think I could play two or three more seasons at a high level? Yeah, with the way I built my game, I think I could probably continue to play. But at what risks? There is a portion of me that’s nervous, excited, anxious. But, at the same time, I’m a person that embraces change. This isn’t me leaving football. This is me leaving the field.”

Royals cut former closer Holland Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The World Series champion Kansas City Royals declined to offer Greg Holland a 2016 contract Wednesday, making the former All-Star closer a free agent for the first time as he recovers from Tommy John surgery. Kansas City also traded backup catcher Francisco Pena to the Baltimore Orioles for cash. Earlier in the day, the Royals designated Pena for assignment when they traded minor league infielder Jose Martinez to St. Louis for reserve catcher Tony Cruz. They also decided not to offer a contract to infielder Orlando Calixte, allowing him to become a free agent. Holland is not expected to pitch next year after undergoing reconstructive elbow surgery late in the season, causing him to miss the Royals’ run to the title. But prior to his injury, he had established himself as one of the most dominant closers in the

Holland pitched through elbow trouble part of last season, and

had a 3.83 ERA with 32 saves before he was shut down. He ultimately had Tommy John surgery in October. The Royals moved on from Holland in part because Wade Davis was

even better as the closer. The first-time All-Star went 8-1 with a 0.94 ERA and 17 saves this season. He got the final out against the New York Mets to give the Royals their first World Series championship since 1985. Kansas City exercised a $10 million option on Davis for next season. The 26-year-old Pena appeared in eight games for Kansas City this past season, backing up AllStar catcher Salvador Perez. But with the Royals’ trade for Cruz and the fact that Drew Butera is still under club control, the Royals decided to send Pena to Baltimore. The 29-year-old Cruz hit .204 with two homers and 11 RBIs in 69 games for the Cardinals last season. He can also play third base. Martinez, 19, spent most of last season at rookie-level Burlington, hitting .243 with four doubles, a homer and 24 RBIs in 57 games.
