KU prof discovers only known audio recording of James Naismith By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

n an audio recording, long buried among countless others in Library of Congress archives, an animated 1930s radio announcer asks, “Dr. Naismith, how did you happen to invent basketball?” What follows is just over two minutes of the only known recording of the voice of James Naismith himself — inventor of basketball and former Kansas University basketball coach — explaining how the game was born during an 1891 blizzard, when his students at Springfield College in Massachusetts were stuck inside needing something to do. The chaos of that experimental first game, according to Naismith, inspired the 13 original “Rules of Basket Ball” that he ultimately put to paper. “The boys began tackling, kicking and punching in the clinches,” Naismith said. “They ended up in a freefor-all in the middle of the gym floor. Before I could pull them apart one boy was knocked out, several of them had black eyes and one had a dislocated shoulder...so I made up some more rules. The most important one was that there should be no running

Temporary Greyhound stop OK’d for 6th, New Hampshire By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Greyhound will use Sixth and New Hampshire streets as a temporary bus stop for up to six months while the bus system searches for a permanent Lawrence location. The Lawrence City Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to allow the bus to stop at the downtown location. Greyhound’s regional manager has talked with owners of North Lawrence properties — including gas stations, hotels and

Tanger Factory Outlet Center — about becoming a permanent stop, but none of them have agreed to the arrangement. City Engineer David Cronin told commissioners that Greyhound was currently in discussion with a convenience store on North Iowa Street. In a city memorandum, Cronin said Greyhound needed the city’s help in finding a temporary location, otherwise the Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo bus system “will need to stop A GREYHOUND BUS STOPS at the Santa Fe Depot Friday serving Lawrence.” morning. City commissioners approved a new stop location Please see GREYHOUND, page 2A at Sixth and New Hampshire streets Tuesday night.

After gaining approval from the Lawrence City Commission on Tuesday, the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority plans to purchase a six-unit apartment building and lease the rent-controlled units to those aging out of foster care. The City Commission voted 3-2 to authorize the CITY purchase, which is $195,000 COMMISSION more than the appraised price of the property. The building at 1725 New Hampshire St. will cost the housing authority $485,000. Minor renovations are estimated at $12,000 to $15,000. The housing authority is competing for the property against Dillons, which had written up a contract to pay $485,000. Dillons sought to rezone the property to a commercial use. In talks in 2009, Dillons had agreed to pay $500,000 for the property and convert the land to a parking lot, said Rob Farha, one of the owners of the building. That agreement did not come to fruition.

Oread tax info forthcoming, but questions still abound

e are close to figuring out what the concerns are with the special taxing district at The Oread hotel. But I don’t think that means we are near the end of the questions about this project. If you remember, we reported in November that the city had hired a Wichita accounting firm, Allen, Gibbs & Houlik L.C., to complete a report on how the special taxing district — which has generated more than $2 million and counting for the development group that built the hotel — is operating. City commissioners met in executive session Tuesday evening and afterward directed staff to seek reimbursement for money overpaid through the special taxing district. Mayor Mike Amyx also said that Allen, Gibbs & Houlik’s report would be released on the city’s website at 3 p.m. today.

DEATHS

Naismith CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The interview with Naismith was broadcast Jan. 31, 1939, on the radio program, “We the People.” In the clip, radio host Gabriel Heatter said Naismith had traveled from Lawrence to New York City to watch a “giant basketball double header” at Madison Square Gardens. “In that cheering crowd, sitting in row C, seat 11, will be a modest 77-year-old man,” Heatter said. “Those fans won’t know that he made possible the game they’re watching, but you’re going to meet him now.” Zogry said he was thrilled to find the clip, which he called a piece of Naismith’s legacy that was “lost to history.” “The version of events that he gives is different from the published versions, so it adds new information to the process of creating the game,” Zogry said. “There’s also value in just hearing his voice ... when we hear him talking we get a sense of his demeanor and his self-effacing attitude.” lll

The research path that led to Zogry’s discovery of the audio file was rugged. Zogry said he’s always been interested in the concept of sport and religion, plus he has ties to two Naismith towns. His parents grew up in Springfield, Mass., where he visited the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a child. And working at KU, of course Naismith history is everywhere. Zogry said he first saw a reference to the radio interview in a biography by Bernice Larson Webb, “The Basketball Man: James Naismith.” He’d hit dead ends tracking down other audio recordings he’d found references to, but with help from his research assistant Katie Hobson, a master’s student in religious studies at KU, Zogry eventually discovered that the Library of Congress had complete runs of the radio program.

Greyhound CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“Greyhound is diligently working on finding a spot,” Cronin said. “The bus serving Lawrence is a good thing; it provides alternative transportation to and from the community. We certainly don’t want to see them leave Lawrence.” Signage will be installed indicating the west side of Sixth and New Hampshire streets

Notes on Naismith James Naismith worked at KU for roughly 40 years, according to the university. KU hired him in 1898 as chapel director, director of physical education and university physician, according to KU. He coached the KU basketball team from 1899 to 1907, and also became KU’s first athletic director. Naismith died in November 1939 and is buried at Memorial Park Cemetery in Lawrence. His original “Rules of Basket Ball” — complete with the no-running rule inspired by the game alluded to in the newly

discovered audio clip — also have a permanent home in the works in Lawrence. KU alumnus David Booth and his wife, Suzanne Booth, purchased the document at auction in 2010 for $4.3 million, a sports memorabilia record according to Sotheby’s in New York City. KU currently is constructing the DeBruce Center, connected to Allen Fieldhouse, to house the rules. It’s expected to open in 2016. — Sara Shepherd

“

There’s also value in just hearing (Naismith’s) voice ... when we hear him talking we get a sense of his demeanor and his selfeffacing attitude.” — Michael Zogry, KU professor who discovered the recording of James Naismith

After determining the Library of Congress had the Naismith interview, it would be about four more months before Zogry actually heard it himself. He and Hobson worked to verify it was, in fact, Naismith speaking. They contacted the company that donated the WOR-AM archives to the Library of Congress and had rights to the audio, then went through the process of ordering a copy and getting permission to use it, including sharing it online. Zogry said the radio station first saved programs on lacquered discs but that they were eventually translated into digital format. Only after going through the months of research and hoops was Zogry actually able to listen to the recording, when the Library of Congress shared the digital file with him in early November. lll

One of the first people Zogry played it for was Jim Naismith, a grandson of James Naismith whom Zogry befriended several years ago.

Sixth St. An agreement with the owner of the property expired, and Greyhound was forced to find another location last month. The city first recommended the bus stop at Seventh and New Jersey streets, near the train station. Commissioner Leslie Soden brought up at last

Jim Naismith and his wife, Beverly, of Portland, Texas, traveled to Lawrence and heard the recording while visiting Zogry’s home for dinner. It was the first time Jim Naismith had heard his grandfather’s voice — the son of Naismith’s youngest child, he’d only met him in person when he was too young to remember, Jim Naismith said. Jim Naismith said he’d seen silent movies of the basketball coach and read all kinds of stories about him. “When I saw him moving, I could see my dad,” he said. “That was important to me. Well, the voice was another one of those pieces.” Jim Naismith said the voice didn’t sound much like his dad’s but he liked the fact that it was bold and chipper. He said he also laughed at the colorful account of the first game. “He was 77 years old and going strong,” Jim Naismith said. “That’s all very encouraging.” — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at 832-7187 or sshepherd@ljworld.com.

Salvation Army only halfway to fundraising goal

Bon voyage

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

Nearly three weeks into its yearly Red Kettle campaign — and with just eight days before the bell ringers hang up their red aprons until next year — The Salvation Army of Douglas County is about 50 percent of the way to its goal. Lt. Marisa McCluer, corps officer with the Salvation Army, said the goal for this year is $100,000. All of the funding collected at Christmastime is used for

the nonprofit’s programs and services throughout the whole year. “So basically, all of our services that we do, day in and day out, is dependent on what we do at Christmastime,” McCluer said. Also, of the 143 families that applied to for the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Family Adoptions program, 15 are still in need of adoption. “We just want to urge this community that has Please see ARMY, page 6A

League of Women Voters Para-educator charged with sex crimes to offer registration class By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

The Douglas County district attorney has charged a 33-year-old woman who was a Lawrence public schools para-educator with three felony counts against a 17-year-old boy, including unlawful sexual relations, sexual exploitation of a child and promoting obscenity to minors. The woman, who is from Baldwin City, was hired by the Lawrence school district on Nov. 24, 2014, as a para-educator

and assigned to the Douglas County Youth Services Day School at the Northeast Regional Juvenile Detention Center at 330 N. Industrial Lane, said Julie Boyle, the school district’s spokeswoman. After the allegations surfaced last week, the woman was placed on administrative leave. The Lawrence school board fired her Monday night. At a hearing in Douglas County District Court Tuesday, a judge declined to reduce the bail, set at $40,000, and scheduled a

preliminary hearing for 4 p.m. Dec. 21. According to the criminal information report, the woman was in a sexual relationship with the boy from August to December of this year. According to the report, on Nov. 21 the woman engaged in “consensual sexual intercourse, lewd fondling or touching or sodomy.” Over several weeks, she attempted to persuade, induce, entice or coerce the boy to “engage in sexually explicit conduct for the

purpose of promoting a performance,” according to the criminal information report. In addition, the report said the woman unlawfully published or distributed obscene material to a child under the age of 18. The woman remained in the Douglas County Jail Tuesday evening. If she posts bond, she is not allowed to have contact with anyone younger than 18. — Enterprise reporter Karen Dillon can be reached at kdillon@ljworld.com or 832-7162.

Topeka — The League of Women Voters of Kansas will team up with universities across the state next semester to offer students training courses in how to register to vote. The program, “Your Right to Vote: Kansas Campus Initiative,” is part of an effort to make students aware of the state’s strict voting laws that require all new voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship to register. The program consists

of short instruction, along with a video produced by KTWU-TV, the PBS affiliate based at Washburn University in Topeka. “It can be used for college level sociology, history and political science classes,” said the League’s co-president Marge Ahrens. “Professors from any Kansas college, university, community college or vocational technical school may request the teaching materials to use as part of their scheduled Please see VOTING, page 6A

been so giving in the past, and is still very giving, that if there’s anybody out there that hasn’t had the time or thought about it yet, we still have families that need assistance,” McCluer said. McCluer said the nonprofit uses the Red Kettle funds for services including serving more than

they have no immediate plans to use the material. Among the first to teach the program are professors at Washburn University, Wichita State, Emporia State and Fort Hays State, the League said. The proof of citizenship law, which is currently under challenge in both state and federal courts, took effect on Jan. 1, 2013. It was passed at the

urging of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican, who said it would prevent non-U.S. citizens from voting in Kansas elections. Under that law, new voters who apply to register but fail to provide the required citizenship proof have their applications placed “in suspense,” meaning they cannot vote until they complete their

applications. According to records obtained by the JournalWorld during the last election cycle, there were 23,774 applications being held in suspense due to the proof of citizenship requirement. That represented roughly 15 percent of all the people who had attempted to register since the law took effect. Voters who were already registered when

the law took effect were not required to re-register or show proof of citizenship. As a result, the law tended to affect young voters more than other age groups because they made up the bulk of the new registrants. As of September, according to the League of Women Voters, 40 percent of the registrations being held in suspense

were for people under the age of 30. Since then, the secretary of state’s office has implemented a new regulation directing county election officers to cancel registration applications if they have not been completed after 90 days.

15,000 meals per year to those in need, 500-plus grocery orders per month through its food pantry, holistic types of case management programs, housing programs, music programs for kids and more. The Salvation Army has hosted its yearly Joy Shop, which McCluer said was successful. Each year, it helps about 100 families get clothes, gifts, winter weather gear and other items at no cost. “It gives (the parents) a

sense of empowerment to provide them an opportunity that we’re not just handing (items) to them, but we’re giving them the option to pick it out for their kids,” McCluer said. McCluer said she knows firsthand the impact that some extra help around the holidays can have on kids. “When I was a child, I never knew that my parents couldn’t afford Christmas or afford stuff for school,” she said. “I think I kind of had

a sense of it, because I sensed their stress, but it was agencies like the Salvation Army or other nonprofits that kind of stepped in and stood in the gap for me and for my family to be able to operate as a normal family, even though we may (have been) in poverty.” Poverty isn’t always the result of personal choices, either, McCluer said. “Life is hard, and we understand that, and we want to be there for you, and we want to walk with you so

that you’re not alone,” McCluer said she tells Salvation Army clients. “That’s what the red kettle symbolizes; that’s what these programs are for,” McCluer said. “Not to just give them material things but to just give them a sense of family and a sense that God loves them, that we love them, that their community loves them.” The bell ringers will be done for the year on the afternoon of Christmas Eve — next Thursday

— but McCluer is still optimistic about meeting the $100,000 goal. “Somehow we always make it, and I know that we will this year,” she said. Donations to the Salvation Army are accepted by mail to Salvation Army of Douglas County, 946 New Hampshire St., or online at lawrence.salvationarmy.us.

Housing CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Farha said the new deal with Dillons was unsolicited, and he indicated he would give preference to the housing authority. Commissioners Lisa Larsen and Stuart Boley and Vice Mayor Leslie Soden voted to approve the purchase. Mayor Mike Amyx and Commissioner Matthew Herbert voted against it. According to city code, the housing authority must get permission from the City Commission before acquiring real estate, and the property is titled to the city. The money to pay for the building will be taken from the housing authority’s fund of about $1 million earmarked for acquiring more units, said Shannon Oury, the housing authority’s executive director. Those funds come mostly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD has already issued its approval of the purchase, Oury said. The housing authority first brought the request to the commission in May, but commissioners said the asking price was too high and asked for an appraisal. In his vote to oppose the purchase, Herbert said the housing authority could use the funds to purchase more units at a lower price. Herbert said Tuesday that when the issue came up in May, he found three four-unit apartment buildings on the market for a total $625,000 — or about $52,000 per unit. The cost per unit at 1725 New Hampshire St. is $80,833. “I 100 percent support affordable housing, but I also see we have

“

I 100 percent support affordable housing, but I also see we have 373 families on the waiting list, which means we can’t spend every dime we have on housing six of them.” — Commissioner Matthew Herbert 373 families on the waiting list, which means we can’t spend every dime we have on housing six of them,” Herbert said. Herbert also said it was “not the job of a city government to be doing competing bids.” Amyx agreed, saying he wanted the funds to be used to “get the greatest number of units we can.” Before the vote, Larsen and Boley reiterated what Oury had told the commission: the building’s location added to its value. The apartment building is near Babcock Place, which is also owned by the housing authority, meaning the group would not have to hire additional maintenance and management staff. Oury also cited the building’s vicinity to Kansas University, the transit system and grocery store as benefits to tenants. Oury also talked about the cost, saying it was less per unit than Peterson Acres II, which the housing authority paid more than $850,000 to build in 2007. Though she argued for and voted in favor of the purchase, Larsen said she hoped the vote would not set a precedent that the city “will pay more” for similar properties. The housing authority currently manages 428 units, Oury said. Of the 373 on the waiting list, 204 are seeking one-bedroom apartments.

Oread audit Also at Tuesday’s meeting, Amyx revealed the city is seeking reimbursement from The Oread hotel for money

overpaid to the business through a redevelopment agreement. The overpayments were found during a city-ordered audit of the hotel’s special taxing district. After a 45-minute closed executive session at the end of Tuesday night’s meeting, Amyx said commissioners had received a briefing on the Oread tax district from Allen, Gibbs & Houlik, L.C., a Wichita-based auditing firm. The city entered into an arrangement with the firm in April to evaluate sales and use tax transactions, receipts and reimbursements connected to The Oread hotel’s Tax Increment Financing District, but officials have not said why the audit was initiated. Amyx said Tuesday the firm had prepared a report, “appropriate portions” of which will be released on the city’s website this afternoon. Commissioners unanimously approved a motion that directed city staff to provide the final report to The Oread Inn and Oread Wholesale, L.C. That motion directed staff to also “seek reim-

bursement from Oread Inn for the amount overpaid to Oread Inn in the redevelopment agreement,” Amyx read. After the meeting, Amyx said he would not comment further on the audit’s findings.

In other business: l Commissioners unanimously approved the installation of a 138-square-foot outdoor seating area at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. l Commissioners unanimously approved the city’s $18,000 settlement with Brian Sexton, who was hit by a city trash truck while riding his bicycle last year. l Commissioners authorized a waiver be issued to Bayleaf Indian Restaurant & Bar, 947 New Hampshire St., to allow it to seek a drinking establishment license. Commissioners also authorized a waiver be issued to Wingstop, 2233 Louisiana St., to allow it to seek a drinking establishment license. l The meeting recessed until Friday at 11:45 a.m., when the commission will convene to hold final interviews with the three city manager candidates. The interviews will be held in closed executive session. The session will end at 4 p.m.

Adult may be beyond help; focus on the baby Dear Annie: My wife’s niece has a 3-year-old child whom we love dearly. We help take care of this child and pay for a great deal of the baby’s care. The problem is, my wife frequently offers advice to her niece. The niece cusses her out, and my wife ends up in tears. But my wife insists she has to keep doing this in order to help the baby. I disagree with her logic. I told her she is simply repeating the same pattern over and over, setting herself up for misery. This niece is not a nice person. She treats her own mother (my wife’s sister) poorly. Her crying is disturbing to me. My wife is a social worker and says that she helps strangers, so why can’t

Unless your wife enjoys being a martyr (and she may), she should back off from giving advice and simply transfer her professional skills

Buddy the Elf’s special here to stay? Nobody sets out to make a bad Christmas special, but so many arrive every year. Most come and go and get stored away in the attic of our memories. Whatever happened to “Olive, the Other Reindeer,” the 1999 Fox Christmas cartoon featuring the voices of Drew Barrymore and Ed Asner? It was sort of sweet and goofy, but perhaps not special enough to last. Why have the Christmas Special Gods anointed the CW’s “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” a holiday perennial and not “Olive”? It’s a mystery. Reviews and even first-year ratings don’t determine the sturdiness of a Christmas special. It’s how they hold up to repeat airings that counts. NBC trots out its 2014 special “Elf: Buddy’s Musical Christmas” (7 p.m., TVG) for its second Christmas. Does this one have staying power? “Buddy” has built-in nostalgia appeal. It’s based on a Broadway show that was itself based on a 2003 movie. It also features stopmotion animation and minimalist sets heavily inspired by 1960s cartoons, specials and set design. So “Buddy” looks like a slightly funky variation on Rankin/Bass (“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”) animation, with a sound and score rooted in contemporary Broadway. It doesn’t hurt that the voice of Jim Parsons (“The Big Bang Theory”) stars in the title role. Listen for Ed Asner as Santa Claus and Kate Micucci (“Garfunkel and Oates”) as Jovie, the department store elf whom Buddy cannot help but love. So don’t think of this airing of “Buddy” as a repeat. It’s really trying out for classic status, trying to create a “tradition” — one Christmas season at a time.

The holidays are the perfect time for the third installment of “Nashville: On the Record” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-PG). The musical melodrama’s talented cast — including Clare Bowen, Chris Carmack, Charles Esten, Sam Palladio, Aubrey Peeples, and Lennon and Maisy Stella — performs numbers and discusses writing songs and what it’s like to perform in sold-out concerts. A new CD of music from the series was released earlier this month. “Nashville” has seen its audience dwindle to series lows. Catch it while you can.

Seeking justice

Cruz pursues conservative strategy By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

Questions surrounding a Jefferson County murder case are a reminder of the importance of having qualified, ethical and professional people serving at all levels of law enforcement.

mericans like to think that their legal system “works,” that people who are guilty go to prison and those who are innocent go free. Then a case like that of Tom and Floyd Bledsoe comes to light. Floyd Bledsoe recently was released from prison after serving 15 years of a life sentence for the murder of 14-year-old Camille Arfmann near Oskaloosa. The release came after a Jefferson County judge dropped the murder charges against Floyd. He was not formally exonerated so he could be recharged if new evidence surfaces — although prosecutors said that was unlikely because the key witness against Floyd, his brother, Tom, committed suicide last month. In suicide notes he left behind, Tom confessed to the murder and to helping frame his brother for the crime. Those notes were just part of the evidence that eventually led to Floyd’s release. New DNA testing on Arfmann’s clothing essentially cleared Floyd and implicated Tom. Investigators also found glaring problems with the initial investigation and prosecution: DNA testing that suddenly was halted on the orders of a Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent and the Jefferson County sheriff and county attorney and falsified results on a polygraph test taken by Tom. Floyd and his attorney were told that the DNA test results were negative and that Tom passed the polygraph test even though he had not. Add these factors to an arguably ineffective defense by Floyd’s attorney and you end up with a three-day trial, a conviction and a life sentence. But couldn’t the errors be fixed? Attorneys tried. In 2002 and 2007, the Kansas Supreme Court upheld the conviction even though the later decision acknowledged that the performance of Floyd’s attorney was “constitutionally deficient.” In 2008, a U.S. district judge in Topeka released Floyd based on ineffective assistance of counsel, but less than a year later, the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals reversed that decision and returned Floyd to prison. The system clearly was not working for Floyd Bledsoe. By this time, the Kansas University Project for Innocence had gotten involved with Floyd’s case. It took a while, but his luck eventually began to change. KU law students began tracking down evidence and pushing for new DNA tests. With the assistance of the Midwest Innocence Project that testing was completed, and the results were released in October. Within two months Floyd was free. Looking back 15 years later, it’s hard to understand how Floyd Bledsoe was convicted. The problems with this case should be thoroughly investigated, and those involved should be held accountable. This situation is a clear reminder of the importance of having qualified people of integrity in all levels of the law enforcement system. The Jefferson County sheriff and attorney are both elected positions, so voters share in that responsibility. It’s also cause for congratulations to the many KU law students and their faculty advisers who continued to pursue this case on Floyd Bledsoe’s behalf. It doesn’t erase 15 years of prison, but, at least in this case, it seems justice finally prevailed. LAWRENCE

All year long, smart Republicans have been whispering: Keep a close eye on Ted Cruz. He’s got a message that appeals to the party’s most conservative voters. He’s running a good campaign, wellorganized and well-funded. He’s going to be a finalist — and he might just win the nomination. Well, what do you know: Right on schedule, as voters in Iowa settle on their favorites, Cruz’s fortunes are looking up. A Monmouth University poll released last week found Cruz in first place among Iowans who are the most likely GOP caucus-goers. In most national polls, which don’t mean as much, Cruz has risen to second place behind Donald Trump. The Des Moines Register said Cruz was “positioned to win.” And, last week, Iowa’s most influential Christian conservative, Bob Vander Plaats, gave Cruz his organization’s endorsement. Vander Plaats may be littleknown outside Iowa, but he has picked the winners of the state’s last two GOP caucuses — Mike Huckabee in 2008 and Rick Santorum in 2012. Wait, you say: Neither Huckabee nor Santorum won the Republican nomination, right? That’s true. In past years, Iowa’s GOP caucuses, heavy with evangelical Christians, haven’t been a good barometer of sentiment among voters in other states. But Cruz and his supporters argue that this time will be different. They believe anger at both President Obama and the Republican establishment is deep enough not merely to nominate an insurgent like Cruz, but also to enable him to win the general election in November. They argue that in 2016, Cruz can mobilize millions of Christian conservatives who didn’t vote for Mitt Romney in 2012 — much as Obama mobilized millions of young and minority nonvoters in 2008. “If the body of Christ rises

At this point, Cruz is the most conservative major candidate in the race — more conservative, certainly, than the ideologically squishy Trump.” up as one and votes our values, we can turn this country around,” Cruz told voters at a forum in Des Moines last month. The Cruz camp also believes that Trump has energized another group of nonvoters — less devout, but equally angry over immigration and terrorism — who can be persuaded to switch to Cruz if the real estate mogul drops out. Indeed, Cruz has been courting Trump and his followers unabashedly. Last week, when Trump called on the federal government to bar Muslims from entering the United States, Cruz refused to join the chorus of condemnation. “I disagree with that proposal. I like Donald Trump,” Cruz told reporters. “A lot of our friends here have encouraged me to criticize and attack Donald Trump. I’m not interested in doing so.” Cruz added: “I commend Donald Trump for standing

up and focusing America’s attention on the need to secure our borders.” Beyond kind words, Cruz has tried to make himself palatable to the “Make America great again” crowd by veering to the populist right. In 2013, Cruz called for a dramatic expansion in the number of visas for high-tech workers from overseas, saying it would “create new jobs”; last month, he said he opposes any expansion for fear that foreign workers might take jobs away from Americans. Similarly, he once defended “birthright citizenship”; now he denounces it. As recently as April, he praised the TransPacific Partnership, the big trade deal with Asia; after conservative groups dubbed the agreement “Obamatrade,” Cruz switched sides. At this point, Cruz is the most conservative major candidate in the race — more conservative, certainly, than the ideologically squishy Trump. The senator from Texas is in favor of replacing the federal income tax with a flat tax of 10 percent, coupled with a federal sales tax of 19 percent — a plan that amounts to a huge tax cut for the wealthy, but a tax increase for many middleclass consumers. In a line that invariably draws cheers, he says he’d abolish the Internal Revenue Service.

Refugees test U.S. values It seems to me that the question of what the United States should do about the refugees fleeing Syria, Afghanistan and other war-torn areas boils down to a very simple question. Are we the country that is determined to stand morally above all others as a beacon of hope and democracy or are we so frightened by the terrorists that we will bar thousands of innocent people suffering from terrible privation and danger from our country on the chance that a few of these may actually be terrorists in disguise? To me the answer is also clear: We must stand as a “shining city on the hill” and help as many of the refugees as we can. Otherwise not only do we let the terrorists win by announcing our fear of them; we also betray the best traditions of this country. Ours is a nation built by refugees. The Puritans who settled New England, the Catholics who settled in Maryland, the Quakers who settled in Pennsylvania all were fleeing an oppressive government. All were seeking a better life here. Throughout our history refugee groups have come to America seeking better lives — from Ireland, from China, from Italy, from Mexico, from Eastern Europe. And so many more came and stayed and made our country great. Were there some “bad” people among these various immigrant groups? Of course there were. But the presence of a few bad individuals can never be moral justification for barring hundreds of thousands who need help. The United States has not always followed the moral imperative, not always sought to be the shining city on the hill. Our government enacted laws to prevent Chinese workers from coming into this country in the 19th century and, during World War II, turned away many would-be refugees from Nazism, who were sent back to Europe to die in death camps. Even in this country the federal government put loyal Japanese Americans

On foreign policy, Cruz has denounced Obama for doing too little to fight Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, and he says his strategy would be to “carpet-bomb them into oblivion.” He told voters in Iowa: “I don’t know if sand can glow in the dark, but we’re going to find out.” After the 2012 election, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus commissioned a list of recommendations for the party’s future. Foremost was a call for the GOP to reach out to new groups that hadn’t supported it in the past: above all, young people and minorities. Cruz’s candidacy is a deliberate rebuke to that idea, a campaign that seeks not to broaden the GOP’s base of support, but to deepen it. If he’s next year’s Republican nominee, it will be a test of an audacious theory, that a rigorously conservative candidate can lure millions of new right-wing voters to the polls — and avoid alienating too many moderates and independents in the process. It’s hard to imagine that working. But Cruz has already succeeded in climbing to his party’s top rank. The nomination is not out of reach. — Doyle McManus is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times.

being followed. So, I wanted to find out if there was anything to this tip I had received. I knew state law wasn’t going to let me see the actual sales tax reports filed by an individual business. But I thought I might be able to see a list of all companies that are filing sales tax reports from that address. The city told me state law wouldn’t allow them to release that information either. That creates an interesting situation. The public is providing an incentive worth millions of dollars to this project, but the public faces considerable difficulty in determining what businesses benefit from that public incentive. The issue is more directly tied to state law than anything the city controls, but some city commissioners said they did think that businesses seeking incentives need to be ready to share more information than they would otherwise. “If you don’t want us in your business, don’t come asking for anything,” Commissioner Matthew Herbert said. “If you don’t ask for incentives, we will basically stay out of your hair. I think a company that asks for taxpayer subsidy needs to be prepared to be more transparent than an ordinary private company.” Soden said she’s interested in exploring whether the city could create a requirement that any project receiving a public incentive is regularly required to file information listing what businesses are operating within the project. That way, the city would not find itself in a situation of thinking it was providing an incentive to benefit Business A, when in fact it was providing an incentive to benefit Businesses A, B and C. Of course, the biggest question in all of this is: What did the auditing firm find? I don’t have any good insight into what the firm has found, other than that sources have told me there are some significant findings. But Soden did make one comment that I found interesting. “I want people to understand that the city has been working on this for while, and we are not trying to keep this hidden for any ugly reasons,” Soden said. “The city has always been on top of the issue, and has been working to make sure everybody pays their fair share of taxes.” —This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

THREAT SHUTS L.A. SCHOOLS; NYC STAYS OPEN

Closure underlines anxiety in light of recent terror attacks Chris Woodyard and John Bacon USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES The Los Angeles County school system abruptly canceled classes for 640,000 students after an email threat, a sign of how tense public officials are after recent terror attacks. New York City deemed a similar threat a “hoax” and kept schools open. Los Angeles schools Superintendent Ramon Cortines said although the district gets threats “all the time,” recent events in San Bernardino, about 60 miles east of the city, and elsewhere el-

evated this threat. “I, as superintendent, am not going to take the chance with the life of a student,” he said. “What we are doing today is not different from what we always do except we are doing it in a mass way.” New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton said a generic email threat was sent to multiple school officials in Los Angeles, New York and possibly other districts in the nation. He said the threat appeared to originate abroad and probably was not “the usual prank of a student not wanting to take an exam.” Cortines said he was told about a threat “to not one school, but to

many schools in this school district.” He said the “credible threat” involved backpacks and other packages. He said he wanted every school searched by day’s end so that schools could reopen Wednesday. The Los Angeles Unified School District is the second largest in the nation. In New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio dismissed the threat as “nothing credible,” adding that

the language used was “outlandish.” Bratton said the source of the threat may have been an avid fan of TV’s Homeland. Bratton said the threats were made to promote fear, and the NYPD was investigating with the FBI, a joint terrorism task force and L.A. police. New York is the nation’s largest school system. Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he would not “second guess” the school district’s decision to shutter the schools, but he noted there “were a lot of reasons to doubt the veracity” of the emailed threats. In the Los Angeles email, Sherman, who has been briefed on the matter, said the author indicated a group of “32 comrades.” In the New York email, it was 130. The large scale, the congressman said,

immediately called into question the credibility of the threat. When Los Angeles made its decision, Sherman said authorities were not aware of the threat against New York. The incident points up the need to assess threats before reacting, says Ken Trump, a school safety consultant based in Cleveland. Administrators can be “so fearful of being overwhelmed by community anxiety and parental backlash that they are responding emotionally.” Joumana Saba, who had brought her sons to Kentwood Elementary said she appreciated the Los Angeles district’s decision. “I understood it is out of an abundance of caution,” Saba said.

Perhaps it’s no surprise that a debate in the wake of the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, and as the presidential campaign enters a crucial NEWS period, would take on ANALYSIS a certain combative quality. At the fifth Republican debate, held in Las Vegas and sponsored by CNN, the common theme was an attack on President Obama and his former secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, for allowing the self-proclaimed Islamic State to rise and threaten U.S. interests. They agreed that helped lead to the San Bernardino rampage this month that left 14 dead. Another thread was the jockeying over which Republican could do better, and especially whether front-runner Donald Trump, who proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the USA, was up to the job. “Donald, you know, is great at the one-liners, but he’s a chaos candidate, and he’d be a chaos president,” former Florida governor Jeb Bush said. “He would not be the commander in chief we v STORY CONTINUED ON 2B

Photo service faces season’s beratings from customers Many still waiting on custom holiday cards Matthew Diebel USA TODAY

Aah, Christmas. The tree. The decorations. The delicious meals. Sending those holiday cards to people you haven’t heard from in forever. Er, scratch the holiday cards. At least that’s what many customers of online-based photo service Snapfish are finding. The California-based company, which

produces customized calendars and photo books, is getting a large number of complaints about late or non-existent deliveries. “I’m disgusted with Snapfish,” said one customer, who identified herself as Kathryn Rooney Haldeman of New York City, on Snapfish’s Facebook page. “A month is too long to wait for an order. ... Trust me, Snapfish — you will NOT have a problem with ‘unprecedented volume’ next year. I will be canceling my order.” On the same page, the “Snapfish elves” tell customers that they are “experiencing some

An email, a Facebook message and a phone call from USA TODAY to a company representative were not immediately returned. Posts on social media indicated frustration and anger. “Snapfish, you have a big problem on your hands,” said Terry Cerrina Davis of Park Ridge, N.J.,

on Facebook. “Do the right thing and overnight these orders to people and while we wait, send us the envelopes so we can at least get that much done ahead of time — assuming we’ll have cards to send at all this Christmas.” The delays are reminiscent of UPS problems in 2013 that led to many deliveries of holiday packages being made after Christmas. Part of the anger stems from backups on Snapfish’s phone lines and online chat for customer service. When a USA TODAY reporter tried the chat facility, he received a message that there were 513 people in front of him.

Seniors keep going after giving up keys New effort helps them get around without a car Laura Ungar @laura_ungar USA TODAY

At 79, Norma Hanna feels safer taking the subway than driving much of the time — and envisions giving up the keys for good at some point. The Rockville, Md., senior has plenty of company in our aging nation, where people 85 and older are now the fastest-growing group of drivers. A campaign launched Tuesday by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging aims to help older adults realize when giving up driving may be the safest choice and make the transition to public transportation or other ways of getting around. As it stands, seniors often see driving as synonymous with independence. And those who do decide to stop are unaware of their options, so they visit family, friends and church 65% less and take 15% fewer trips to the doctor just when they need medical care the most. “It’s a big life change when someone gives up the keys,” says Virginia Dize of the association’s National Center on Senior Transportation. “Very often people don’t know who to call in the community. People don’t know where to go when all of a sudden their daughter can’t take them to the doctor.” And this phase of life can last a while. “The reality is people will outlive their driving years,” by an average of a decade for women and seven years for men, says Elinor

Barbara Sutton takes public transportation in Louisville.

DOUG KAPUSTIN FOR USA TODAY

Norma Hanna, 79, recently stopped driving and is learning how to navigate public transportation in greater Washington, D.C. Ginzler, senior director for supportive services for Jewish Council for the Aging of Greater Washington, which runs a support group for seniors thinking about giving up the keys. “Too many people don’t plan for retiring from driving in the way they plan for retiring from work.” To guide seniors through what can be a difficult time, the association, which represents a network of 622 area agencies on aging nationwide, has developed a brochure to educate seniors and help them prepare — to create a “road map” to life without driving. It includes a transportation checklist to help seniors visualize options and costs. It points out that the physical and sensory skills necessary to drive well tend to decline with age, and suggests seniors ask

themselves whether they still like driving after dark if their night vision has worsened or driving on the freeway if their reaction time has slowed. It advises they get regular eye exams and health checkups, have driving skills evaluated by a professional and check in with family and friends about possible changes in their driving.

The organization also suggests that seniors scout out alternative transportation options, such as public transit, paratransit for people with disabilities, volunteer transportation or private-pay services such as taxis, Uber or Lyft. If they choose public transit, training courses may be available to help them learn those systems. Association CEO Sandy Markwood says the campaign evolved because transportation is the No. 1 issue among seniors contacting a call center they run, part of the Eldercare Locator, which connects older adults with services they may need. Some areas have more transportation resources than others for seniors who don’t drive, Dize acknowledged. “It really depends on where you live in this country,” she says. In the Washington area, for instance, Hanna is quite comfortable using the Metro and sometimes also relies on cabs or her daughter to give her a lift to Metro stations. She also still drives occasionally, though not at night, and recently participated in the Jewish council’s support group to help her make the transition to public transportation.

“I’m really happy,” she says. “I have my independence.” Yet seniors can have a much tougher time in other parts of the country. Barbara Gordon, director of social services for the Louisville-based KIPDA Area Agency on Aging, says most of her state is rural, and “transportation options are very, very limited in the rural areas.” There are some options. In Louisville, the state’s largest city, there’s a bus system and an organization called Louisville Wheels, which provides transportation for seniors and disabled people to medical appointments and other places they need to go. Gordon’s agency also provides vouchers to reimburse family, friends or neighbors for transporting seniors in areas where public transit is scarce. “Our major goal is to help older adults live in the community as long as possible,” Gordon says. “But we have limited funds and limited resources, so we don’t meet the entire need.” Carolyn Holman, 69, and Barbara Sutton, 86, are two of the lucky ones. They live in Louisville and get around mostly by bus. Holman says her car recently gave out, and she didn’t have the money to fix it. So with the help of training from KIPDA, she’s become adept at using the bus system — although she admits “it’s a huge adjustment. You can’t just pick up and go.” Sutton doesn’t have a car anymore, although she still has her license. But she says the bus is a great option when she has to go to the grocery store, drug store or doctor’s appointments. The only problem she’s had is when some bus drivers start driving before she’s had a chance to sit down. Still, she says, “99% of the time, it’s very convenient and comfortable.”

Terrorism is top topic after Paris, California Richard Wolf and David Jackson USA TODAY

Terrorism and national security took center stage in Las Vegas on Tuesday along with Donald Trump and a dozen other Republicans seeking their party’s nomination for president. Facing off for the fifth time in five months, but for the first time since terrorist attacks in Paris and California, the candidates sought to convince the CNN television audience that they have commander-in-chief credentials to fight the looming threat. The focus was again on Trump, leading by a wide margin in national polls, but also on two 44year-old Cuban-American senators from the South who seek to replace him as the favorite among Republican voters: Texas’ Ted Cruz and Florida’s Marco Rubio. While Trump was repeatedly attacked for his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States, Cruz — suddenly leading in Iowa, where the voting begins Feb. 1 — also was put on the defensive for opposing government surveillance programs and several defense budgets. The recent attacks gave the Republicans hoping to replace President Obama the chance to sound tougher than each other on terrorism, and most seized the

opportunity. There were calls for thousands of U.S. ground troops in Iraq and Syria, for blocking Syrian refugees at the border and for infiltrating mosques inside the United States. Several topics caused divisions among the candidates: whether to send thousands of ground troops into Iraq and Syria, whether to topple or support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and how to infiltrate the terrorist network on both sides of the Atlantic. During more than four hours of crosstalk, what emerged was a sense among Republicans that America is at war, the homeland is at risk and peace will not come without sacrifice. Where Ronald Reagan was his party’s voice of optimism, these Republicans painted a much gloomier picture of the nation’s future. From the start, the terrorist threat dominated the debates. “America is at war,” Cruz said. “Our enemy is not violent extremism. It is not some unnamed benevolent force. It is radical Islamic terrorism.” While mostly ignoring Trump, Rubio and Cruz clashed over government surveillance powers and the best way to attack Islamic State positions in Syria and Iraq. Cruz said he would “carpet bomb where ISIS is — not a city, but the location of the troops.” Rubio responded: “You can’t

carpet bomb ISIS if you don’t have planes and bombs to attack them with,” accusing Cruz of voting against the military budget in the Senate. As he has in past debates, Trump spoke more in generalities. “We’re not respected as a nation anymore,” he said. “Our country is out of control.” Trump took more heat from former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, both of whom criticized the proposed ban on Muslims and restricting the Internet to block terrorist communications. “Donald, you’re not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency. Leadership is not about attacking people and disparaging people,” Bush said, calling Trump a “chaos candidate.” Also trying to edge into the top tier occupied by Trump, Cruz and Rubio were retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. Far behind in the polls and relegated to an earlier debate were former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and former New York governor George Pataki. Graham dominated that debate by calling for 20,000 U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria.

need to keep our country safe.” Trump dismissed the critique like he was flicking lint off his lapel. “Jeb” was attacking him because of his own political problems, Trump said. “He’s failed in this campaign. It’s been a total disaster. Nobody cares.” Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, doing his best to dodge an invitation to criticize Trump, offered a quote he attributed to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s grandfather: “All horse thieves are Democrats, but not all Democrats are horse thieves.” In this instance, he said, “there are millions of peaceful Muslims across the world.” At the first Republican debate last summer, Cruz was assigned to what amounted to the suburbs of the stage. At the final debate of the year, he had moved to the middle as the top rival to Trump and target for, well, just about everybody. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio faulted Cruz for voting for a measure that limited the ability of the National Security Agency to sweep up telephone metadata of people not suspected of any wrongdoing. The fighting has been getting fiercer. That’s because the voting is getting closer. After Tuesday’s debate, sponsored by CNN, candidates will face a more difficult time commanding attention to voters during the holidays. The next debate doesn’t follow for five weeks, in mid-January, just before a cascade of contests that are likely to determine the 2016 nominee. The narrowing of the recordsized field — there were nine candidates in the main debate, four in the undercard — presumably will happen in short order. So the key rivalries have been defined and sharpened: Trump

vs. Cruz. Cruz vs. Rubio. And the establishment candidates — Christie, Bush, Ohio Gov. John Kasich — each trying to break through as the alternative. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul went after not only Trump but also Rubio, saying he was “the weakest of all of us on immigration” for his support of a bipartisan proposal that passed the Senate last year but died in the House. This is not where most analysts calculated the race would be when it started. The lineup of lecterns on the first debate stage Aug. 6, determined by the candidates’ poll standing, tell the tale of a contest that has been upended. Then, Trump was at the center, to be sure, but he was flanked by two establishment favorites, Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Now Bush flounders in single digits and Walker has folded his campaign. Trump is still in the middle, between Cruz on one side and retired pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson to the other. Trump and Carson have never held public office, and Cruz has been an outlaw in his freshman term in the U.S. Senate. In the latest national poll, published Tuesday and sponsored by ABC News and The Washington Post, 63% of likely Republican voters supported one of them. The combined support of the four establishment favorites in the field — Rubio, Bush, Christie and Kasich — was just 22%. In the earlier debate, four candidates whose poll standing was too low to qualify for the primetime debate found their conversation centered in large part on Trump’s proposal to bar Muslims. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham called Trump’s approach naive and wrongheaded. “You may think this makes us safe, but it doesn’t,” he said.

White House launches water initiative Center to coordinate conservation effort; summit announced Gregory Korte and Ian James USA TODAY

The White House launched an ambitious effort to enlist the private sector in its efforts to reclaim and conserve water Tuesday, saying it’s critical for the country to better manage water supplies that are under increasing pressures from climate change. “Water is a huge challenge in WASHINGTON

this country, and I think we all know that,” Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said at the White House. “It’s important we have all hands on deck.” The strategy, known as a “moonshot for water,” focuses on encouraging technological advances and private-sector investment to rebuild water projects such as reservoirs, boost data collection, support water-sharing agreements and find technologies to recycle and conserve water. Jewell announced the creation of a Natural Resource Investment Center to help coordinate research and investment on water

conservation and water rights management. She also announced a Water Summit to be held at the White House on March 22, AP World Water Sally Jewell Day.

change are projected to occur in U.S. regions that rely on groundwater, such as the Great Plains and the Southwest. It said global warming “will challenge the sustainability of the aquifers in these regions.” The Obama administration would like to see better materials for water pipes, where leaks rob 16% of the nation’s water supply, and better sensors to detect those leaks; water-efficient household appliances; and more cost-effective desalination technologies.

STATE DATA INDICATE HEALTH COST HIKE IN 2016

Probe contradicts ‘peaceful’ claims

The United Nations’ nuclear watchdog said Tuesday it has finished its probe of Iran’s nuclear weapons program after concluding Iran had conducted weapons research as recently as 2009. The announcement moves oilrich Iran a step closer to seeing international sanctions lifted at a time when crude prices already are at a decade low. Removal of sanctions could drive prices lower by allowing global markets to tap Iran’s vast oil reserves. In a statement to the board of governors of the U.N. watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Director-General Yukiya Amano said his investigation did not answer all questions about Iran’s past research but concluded that its nuclear weapons work continued until six years ago. “The agency has no credible indications of activities in Iran relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device after 2009,” Amano said. The IAEA’s conclusion that Iran conducted nuclear weapons research through 2009 counters years of Iranian claims that its program was peaceful. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif continued those denials Tuesday as he welcomed the U.N. announcement. “Based on this resolution, it can be said unequivocally that the fake issue of so-called military dimensions of Iran’s nuclear program ... now belongs to history,” he said, government-owned Tasnim News Agency reported.

“Water is a huge challenge in this country ... we all know that. It’s important we have all hands on deck.”

Premiums on popular plan to jump average of 11% Jayne O’Donnell USA TODAY

onsumers buying health insurance through federal and state exchanges will see their premiums for the popular silver-level plans jump by an average of more than 11% a month, while also probably facing higher deductibles, a new analysis of exchange data by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation shows. These increases will raise the cost of health insurance especially for customers who don’t receive federal subsidies to buy insurance, which may limit the number of people insured under the Affordable Care Act. Average health insurance premiums for silver plans were up to nearly $300 a month for a 27year-old male, while deductibles were up 8%. The increases are even more dramatic in gold-level plans, which have higher premiums but less out-of-pocket costs. These plans’ premiums rose nearly 14%, but deductibles dropped slightly less than 1%, according to the data, which will be released Wednesday. It’s the only publicly available data with details on all of the insurance plans in 50 states, plus Washington. “A lot of the insurers talked about how they priced too low and claims exceeded premiums

for a lot of them, so there’s been an adjustment,” says Katherine Hempstead, RWJF’s director of insurance coverage. The higher premiums exceed the 7.5% average increase the Obama administration highlighted for the benchmark silver plan for the 37 states using the federal HealthCare.gov exchange in 2015 and 2016.

month for a plan this year. About 80% of people get tax credits to lower their monthly premiums. That makes these premium and deductible increases more of a concern for the middle class. Although the 7.5% average premium increase for the benchmark plan was higher than the 5% increase in 2015, the Department of Health and Human Services said in an October report that “this rate increase is relatively modest compared to those in the individual market before the Affordable Care Act, when consumers in the individual market regularly experienced doubledigit rate increases on average.” That’s not necessarily the case when all of the states and bronze and gold plans are considered, RWJF’s “HIX Compare” data show. Bronze plans, which have the lowest premiums, had more than a 13% average premium increase for a 27-year-old male. Deductibles also rose 13%. Prices for individual insurance plans before and after the ACA aren’t a good comparison, Hempstead says, because Obamacare plans cover much more than they used to and prohibit discrimination on the basis of pre-existing conditions.

EX-SUBWAY PITCHMAN FOGLE FILES NOTICE OF APPEAL

Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle, sent to prison last month for more than 15 years for possession of child pornography and traveling to have sex with mi-

nors, is appealing the judge’s sentence. Fogle’s plea deal prohibits him from appealing his conviction, but he is allowed to appeal any sentence longer than 12 years, seven months. Federal judge Tanya Walton Pratt gave Fogle a term of 15 years, eight months. Fogle, 38, admitted to charges of child pornography possession and traveling across state lines for sex with minors. Fogle is in custody in Oklahoma City, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ online inmate locator. During Fogle’s sentencing hearing Nov. 19, his lawyer asked that he be sent to a federal prison in Littleton, Colo., where he could continue receiving psychological treatment. The judge agreed to make that request, but the decision ultimately is made by the Bureau of Prisons. Fogle’s release date is listed as July 11, 2029. His appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit is due Jan. 25. — Mark Alesia, The Indianapolis Star

‘First impression’ More than

25% believe they’re more likely to make a first impression online than at a party.

he Federal Reserve was poised to end the suspense today, raising interest rates for the first time in nine years and closing an extraordinary era of easy money spurred by the 2008 fiscal crisis. Now, a more unsettling drama is set to begin: Will rates climb as the Fed intends? Banks and other financial institutions are so awash in Fed money that the central bank has been forced to deploy new tools that economists say are likely to be less precise than previous methods and could roil jittery markets. “We should anticipate some volatility in (the Fed’s benchmark rate),” says Paul Ashworth, chief economist of Capital Economics. Historically, the Fed has increased its federal funds rate — what banks charge each other for overnight loans — by selling securities to banks or brokers to shrink their cash reserves and raise the cost to borrow money. But banks are flush with $2.5 trillion in excess reserves since the Fed bought massive amounts of bonds after the financial crisis and recession to lower interest rates and stimulate the economy. As a result, the Fed cannot control the fed funds rate with its relatively small securities purchases. Instead, it has set the rate in recent years by paying banks 0.25% interest to park their reserves at the Fed. Banks should not have any incentive to lend at a rate below a risk-free deposit. But given other entities, such as money market mutual funds, can’t earn interest on their excess cash, the Fed also has introduced reverse repurchase agreements to put a floor under the rates they offer. With “reverse repos,” a money fund, for example, buys a risk-free security from the Fed for a day at 0.05% interest. It shouldn’t lend below that rate. The fed funds rate has hovered between zero and 0.25% since 2008, and the Fed aims to raise it to between 0.25% and 0.5% by manipulating the rates for both reverse repos and interest on excess reserves. Complicating the picture is that the Fed has set a $300 billion daily cap on reverse repos because it’s worried investment firms could flock to them in financial turmoil, further damping lending and worsening a crisis. As a result, some firms may not be able to access the repos at times and could make loans that undercut the Fed’s target range, especially at the end of quarters when many companies shore up their books with liquid assets. Adding to the uncertainty is a shortage of repos in the market-

place after many banks shed them to meet financial reform mandates, says Kathy Bostjancic, head of U.S. macro investor services for Oxford Economics. That has pushed down their interest rates and could make it tougher for the Fed to hoist rates, especially if there are limits on its reverse repo program. “There is the potential for heightened volatility and dislocations in the repo and money markets to spill over to broader global financial markets,” Bostjancic wrote to clients. “Among the worst outcomes is … the Fed does

not successfully lift” its key rate. The Fed has said it’s ready to increase the reverse repo limit, especially initially to ensure a smooth rate liftoff, and take other steps to raise rates, such as offering banks higher, longer-term deposit rates. “The question is how long it would take them to get control of the funds rate and what measures are they forced to take,” Bostjancic says. Ashworth says any volatility is likely temporary. He notes several short-term rates had moved higher ahead of the Fed’s move.

Markets brace for historic Fed move Adam Shell USA TODAY

Historic and momentous. Those words are being thrown around by a jittery Wall Street as the Federal Reserve gets set to hike interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade. That’s a long time between increases, and a major trend change after nearly 10 years of Fed support of markets and the economy after the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. The Fed was expected on Wednesday to raise shortterm interest rates, now pegged at 0%, for the first time since 2006 — starting the process of bringing rates back up to more normal levels amid an improving U.S. economy and job market. The import of the Fed’s rate decision and what Fed Chair Janet Yellen says about the pace of future rate hikes is captured best by investment strategists at Barclays, who late last month called the Fed’s coming rate hike: “A small step for the Fed, a giant leap for markets.” The big fear, outlined by Barclays, is straightforward: “A key risk … is a broad-based sell-off in risk assets in response to even a modest tightening of policy in the U.S.,” the firm’s Rajiv Setia and Michael Pond warned. The reason: The Fed’s easy-money policy has been cited as the biggest driver of the nearly 7-year-old bull market in stocks, which has seen the broad U.S. stock market more than triple in value. A Fed rate hike — even only a quarter-point increase — means borrowing costs for credit, such as plastic charge cards, home mortgages and car loans, will go up. Perhaps higher rates will prompt investors to re-evaluate the positioning of their portfolios — especially investors who have plowed cash into riskier assets like “junk” bonds in an effort to squeeze out more yield in a low-yield world. Such a shift in investment tactics, if it were wholesale, market-wide and swift, could cause market volatility. Bulls say the first rate hike will be a confidence booster and reduce uncertainty, as it suggests the Fed thinks the economy is strong enough to withstand higher rates.

Debt can enhance returns, but apparently it’s not needed, judging by the out-performance of the companies that have shunned leverage. Additionally, the risk of debt is becoming more apparent now. The junk-bond market is under stress this year as investors fear defaults could rise next year along with short-term interest rates. Junk bonds, or bonds sold by companies with the lowest credit ratings, are struggling as investors demand a higher return.

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

A Federal Reserve interest rate hike Wednesday was pretty much a sure thing, as readings on inflation and jobs headed in the right direction. And, assuming the consensus opinion on Wall Street was correct, and the Janet Yellen-led Fed does announce its first increase in short-term borrowing costs since 2006, the market focus will quickly shift to what Yellen and the Fed say about the pace of future rate hikes. In short, the market reaction will be all about what the Fed says — not what it does. The market was betting on an 80% probability the Fed would hike rates Wednesday, but futures markets are pricing in only two

additional quarter-point moves next year. So, the big question in the Fed statement and in Yellen’s faceoff with reporters is this: Will the Fed back up the market’s current “hike and wait” or “one and done” expectations for future rate hikes — or will the nation’s central bank surprise the market and move away from its party line of moving rates up in a “gradual” fashion? “What matters most is the market perception, and subsequent reality, of the future trajectory of Fed actions,” the asset management team at Amundi Smith Breeden told clients in a research report. Adds Haverford CIO Hank Smith: “The Fed should symbolically hike rates with dovish language, suggesting that this won’t be the beginning of a tightening cycle.”

For Qualcomm, it might pay off not to spin off

Q: Should investors fret over company’s decision? Matt Krantz

@mattkrantz mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Qualcomm has decided to ignore the spinoff craze. That’s not necessarily bad news for investors. The designer of computer chips chiefly for mobile devices told investors it decided to keep its chip design and technology licensing business together. The decision bucks a trend on Wall Street with other technology companies to spin off separate units. This year, eBay spun off its online payment service business PayPal, and Hewlett-Packard split into two companies. Qualcomm told investors it considered the spinoff plan, supported by some activist investors, but concluded the company would create more long-term value as a whole. Ducking a spinoff might have been considered a bad move years ago, as investors often think carving off businesses is lucrative. Over the long term, spun-out businesses tend to outperform the market, presumably because the company is more focused on its niche, doesn’t have to compete with resources and has management incentives that are closely tied to the business. Spinoffs have been disappointing lately. The Guggenheim Spin-Off exchangetraded fund, which tracks shares of companies spun off over the past 30 months, is down 14% this year, lagging the market.

ing of its laminate flooring. The bearish investment view gained momentum in March, when CBS News’ 60 Minutes program re-

ported that China-made laminate flooring sold by Lumber Liquidators contained levels of formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, that might not comply with U.S. health and safety guidelines. Hit hard by the allegations, Lumber Liquidators shares plunged from a $62.22 close on Feb. 23 to a $27.95 close on March 9, eight days after the 60 Minutes broadcast. Tilson announced his position change in a Seeking Alpha blog post Monday. The hedge fund manager said he had “received information that leads me to believe that senior management of

Lumber Liquidators wasn’t aware that the company was selling Chinese-made laminate that had high levels of formaldehyde.” “If this information is correct, then the company was sloppy and naive, but not evil,” Tilson wrote. While indicating he continued to believe Lumber Liquidators sold laminate with dangerous chemical levels, Tilson cited the possibility that the company might have been “duped by Chinese suppliers.” “Many companies, alas, have unwittingly bought low-quality, toxic and/or illegal products from Chinese suppliers,” Tilson wrote.

Lumber Liquidators did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment on the hedge fund’s turnabout position on the company’s stock. Separately, the company pleaded guilty to environmental crimes in a $13.2 million October settlement with the Department of Justice. The case involved illegal importation of hardwood flooring manufactured in China from timber that was improperly logged in Far Eastern Russia — in the habitat of the world’s last remaining Siberian tigers and Amur leopards.

Scavenger Rey (Daisy Ridley) and rogue Stormtrooper-on-the-run Finn (John Boyega) bring youthful energy to The Force Awakens.

It’s the franchise’s finest effort in more than 30 years That old Star Wars magic is back. Set aside worries about the second coming of The Phantom Menace. With a cast of entertaining new characters, heartfelt scenes, huge planetary battles and no qualms about being very funny or very dark, director J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens returns the iconic sci-fi franchise to a glorious place that hasn’t been seen since Ewoks danced off into victory in Return of the Jedi. The galaxy far, far away has taken a downturn since the Galactic Empire was defeated. The last three decades have not been kind to Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Princess — now General — Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher).

tary outfit that’s risen from the ashes of the Empire, might even be worse than its predecessor. Luke has gone missing, and his absence has allowed the First Order to grow its power across the galaxy. Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), a lightsaber-wielding hothead, is making it his mission to finish what Darth Vader started. While everybody is looking for Luke — the First Order wants to kill him, and the rebellious Resistance wants to bring him home — three new heroes enter the fray. Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) is Leia’s No. 1 pilot. Finn (John Boyega) is a Stormtrooper who

can’t kill. And Rey (Daisy Ridley) is a lonely scavenger on Jakku who trades junk for food. The dynamic between her and Finn is something new for Star Wars, with her bright-eyed heroism complementing Boyega’s roguish wit. They wind up in the Millennium Falcon and run into its old owner Han Solo, beginning a sequence where the kids sense how epic their battle for survival really is. Isaac is fantastic as flyboy Poe, who has a swagger reminiscent of Ford from the original films. Just as good is Driver, a different and more petulant take on the Vader villain template. While Abrams uses many of the legacy players sparingly, he gives Ford time to shine. The ag-

ing Solo has much more gravitas but still has a way with one-liners. The Force Awakens leans heavily — almost too heavily — into shades of Star Wars past. There are spectacular dogfights between X-wings and TIE Fighters set to John Williams’ sparkling score and another nasty figure along the lines of the Emperor (Andy Serkis’ Supreme Leader Snoke). But while each of the prior Star Wars movies had a definite ending, The Force Awakens finishes with an excellent and emotional cliffhanger that will leave fans breathless for Episode VIII. Best of all? It’ll make you feel like a kid being introduced to something truly special once again. X-wing pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac)

Seeing herself on a gigantic Times Square billboard is one thing. But a yogurt cup? Such is life right now for Daisy Ridley, the British actress who’s about to go very global as the lead in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and a woman seemingly as comfortable piloting the Millennium Falcon as that scruffy old nerfherder Harrison Ford. (No word yet on whether her character Rey can do the Kessel Run in less than Han Solo’s record of 12 parsecs.) Ridley, 23, is just starting to grasp how big this whole saga is, something she didn’t realize when she was filming the blockbuster-in-waiting. “I’m glad I wasn’t thinking about it at the time, because that would be quite a lot of pressure,” she says. “I know it sounds cringe-y but I was really just trying to do a good job and I wasn’t thinking so much. It didn’t feel like we were part of a huge thing.” Ridley’s Rey was left on the desert planet Jakku when she was 5 and now waits for someone,

maybe even her family, to come get her. When a little droid named BB-8 and an AWOL Stormtrooper named Finn (John Boyega) blast into her life, things get more interesting, and she’s catapulted headfirst into a world of lightsaber-wielding Jedi and the oppressive First Order that to her has been only the stuff of myth and legend. “She’s definitely cooler than I

am,” Ridley says. (She won’t have to wait long to get back to her — Ridley begins filming writer/ director Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: Episode VIII in January.) The Force Awakens is her first feature film; Americans probably have only seen the native Londoner in small roles in British shows such as Mr. Selfridge. Still, “she carries this,” says Ridley’s co-star Carrie Fisher, who has been the stalwart rank-

ing Star Wars female cast member since the original 1977 film. “I told Daisy not to sleep with a lot of people because they’ll be able to say, ‘I slept with that girl from Star Wars,’ ” Fisher halfjokes. But what actual advice she did give Ridley was more for real life: “Daisy’s a really, really good actress and she’s sane. I can’t compare myself to her at all.” Being Rey has brought the shy Ridley out of her shell, and she says her story has mimicked her character’s in many ways. “She’s finding out new things about herself, and I felt like that as well,” Ridley says. “Obviously, there were always moments of like, ‘Ahhh! Oh, my God, what am I doing?’ But just to be given a voice, for people to care about what you have to say — not just in a script, but when you’re standing around waiting for a camera to be changed — is quite wonderful.”

NCAA VOLLEYBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas’ Husker faces the Huskers To most, the Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball players look about the same as a decade ago, which is to say big and powerful, skilled and savvy. For Lincoln, Nebraska native Maggie Anderson, reserve setter for the Final Four-bound, 30-2 Kansas University volleyball squad, her view of them has changed. They have gone from idols to rivals. “Since I Anderson was a little girl growing up with Nebraska volleyball, watching those girls, I didn’t ever think of them as college students and college athletes, I always looked at them as pro athletes because I was so much smaller than them,” Anderson said. “Growing up in a state where it’s the main female sport made me want to excel in it.” Fourth-seeded Nebraska’s roster features 11 6-footers, seven checking in at 6-foot-3 inches or taller. No. 9 seed KU lists seven 6-footers and only Kelsie Payne is 6-3. Nebraska never looks bigger than when viewed through the prism of the series history between the former conference foes. The Jayhawks will try to 86 the series curse Nebraska holds over them. The Huskers are 86-0-1. Yet, none of the current players are part of that and this is the best KU team ever. Mix in the fact that roughly 15,000 of the 17,000 spectators at CenturyLink Center in Nebraska will be rooting for the Cornhuskers and it’s easy to understand why Kansas is considered the underdog. It has a monumental task in front of it. Even so, it can’t be any tougher than coming back from 13-9 down against No. 1 seed USC to win the fifth set, 15-13, and doing it with the nation’s top player, Samantha Bricio, in the front row for all six points. “We’re a team that the crowd won’t affect us,” Anderson said. “It’s not their home court. This is supposed to be a neutral site and we’re just jacked to play in front of fans that just like to watch the sport.” Her choice of words, saying “supposed” to be, was not accidental. “I’m going to stick with that word, yes,” she said with a smile. “We’re not going to get too comfortable with this site, but we also know that they’re not on their home court.” A late bloomer who is one of KU’s most reliable servers, Anderson attended KU’s volleyball camp during the summer of 2011, heading into her senior year. “I just fell in love with literally everything you could fall in love with in the sport of volleyball, in

KANSAS UNIVERSITY LIBERO CASSIE WAIT MAKES A DIG IN FRONT OF TEAMMATE TAYLER SOUCIE (10) during their volleyball match against Western Illinois in the Jayhawk Invitational Tournament on Sept. 4 at Horejsi Center. Juniors Wait, from Gardner, and Soucie, from Osawatomie, give the Jayhawks’ rotation a Kansas flavor.

Soucie, Wait provide Sunflower spirit By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

There were more than a couple of reasons why Kansas University juniors Cassie Wait and Tayler Soucie made sure to seek each other out as quickly as possible after surviving the dog pile that followed last week’s Elite Eight victory over top-seeded USC that earned KU the school’s first trip to the Final Four. For starters, the two have roomed together their entire time at Kansas and Wait refers to Soucie as “my partner in crime.” But the partnership goes well beyond sharing a dorm room. Both are native Kansans. Both played high school volleyball for their fathers. Both committed to Kansas their junior years of high school. And both have played a big role in helping Kansas

In addition, KUsports.com will be live blogging KU’s matches at the Final Four. enjoy its best stretch of volleyball in school history. Heck, even their fathers’ names are about as similar as it gets — Darren Soucie coached Tayler at Osawatomie High and Darrell Wait coached Cassie at GardnerEdgerton High — and the two share a page, front and back, in this year’s KU volleyball media guide. That’s why, as euphoria swept across the entire Kansas contingent both on the floor and in the stands last week in San Diego, Soucie and Wait made sure to find each

other first to celebrate the incredible accomplishment that both always believed would one day be possible. “Right after the dog pile, we got up and looked each other in the eyes, gave each other the biggest hug and just said, ‘This is it. This is what we’ve always wanted,’” Wait recalled. “It’s pretty awesome. We’ve definitely always had that connection.” Added Soucie: “We embraced for a long time and then we both just looked at each other and said, ‘I love you.’ It was just an amazing feeling of,

‘We did it. We fought so hard for this. And the fact that that just happened is insane.’” Wait and Soucie are not the only native Kansans on KU’s volleyball roster. Addie Barry (Topeka), Tori Miller (Derby), Anna Church (Fairway) and Ashlyn Driskill (Valley Center) also call the Sunflower State home, and they said the chance to represent their home state on a stage as big as the Final Four is a dream come true. “I’m very proud of where I came from,” Soucie said. “And I think it kind of helps people who come from other small towns in Kansas look at it and go, ‘Hey, I can do that, too.’ Because sometimes I think people in small towns can be overlooked.” The Wait-Soucie friendship began back in 2012, Please see VOLLEYBALL, page 3C

Pollard will be in Omaha to cheer Kansas By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

A pair of tickets to the 2015 NCAA Volleyball Final Four have been reserved for one of Kansas University’s biggest, make that tallest, volleyball fans — Scot Pollard. “I’m hoping he (Pollard) can make it. He’s trying to make it,” KU volleyball coach Ray Bechard said of the 6-foot-11 former KU and NBA forward, who lives in Indianapolis. “We’ve developed a really nice relationship. Ashley, my daughter (and former KU volleyball player) did some nanny-ing for him when he lived across the alley from us. He’s been great for our family over the years.” Please see KEEGAN, page 3C Pollard, the 10th-leading

rebounder (33rd in scoring) in KU hoops history, said he’s thrilled for buddy Bechard. “So happy. He’s an amazing man, husband, father, friend,” Pollard said. “Dawn (wife) and I are flying to KC on Thursday and driving up to the Final Four (and 8:30 p.m., match against Nebraska in Omaha). I can’t wait.” Pollard played volleyball at Torrey Pines High School in San Diego. “I played 6-man indoor and beach, also,” Pollard said. “I was player of the year in San Diego one year.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Ames, Iowa — Iowa State’s national title hopes took a big hit Tuesday as the Cyclones said starting guard Naz MitrouLong would miss the rest of his senior season because of his ailing hips. The fifth-ranked Cyclones said Tuesday that Mitrou-Long’s surgically repaired hips haven’t responded the way he would like. He had arthroscopic surgery on his left hip in April and on his right hip in May after playing through pain in 2014-15. Mitrou-Long says he will seek a medical redshirt after playing eight games and averaging 12 points. Mitrou-Long missed Sunday’s win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff, but apparently the rest didn’t help his discomfort. Mitrou-Long’s absence will put added pressure on Iowa State’s top six players and transfer Deonte Burton, who will be eligible for Saturday’s game against Northern Iowa.

Wisconsin’s Ryan reveals retirement Madison, Wis. — Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan has announced his retirement. The school sent out a release after the Badgers’ 64-49 victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Tuesday night. Assistant Greg Gard takes over as interim coach. Ryan coached Wisconsin to a school-record 36 wins last season and a loss in the national championship to Duke. But the Badgers are off to a slow start this year with a 7-5 record. Ryan says he recently decided “now is the right time for me to retire and for Greg Gard to have the opportunity to coach the team for the remainder of the season.” He finishes with a school-record 364 wins and seven Big Ten titles.

Cyclones name offensive coordinator Ames, Iowa — Just 10 years after starting his career as a high school assistant coach, Tom Manning will get a crack at running a Big 12 offense. Cyclones coach Matt Campbell announced Tuesday that Manning, who spent the past four seasons as an assistant under Campbell at Toledo, has been promoted to offensive coordinator.

TODAY IN SPORTS 1918 — Jack Dempsey knocks out Carl Morris in 14 seconds in a heavyweight bout in New Orleans. 1940 — Joe Louis knocks out Al McCoy in the sixth round at the Boston Garden to retain the world heavyweight title. 1945 — The Cleveland Rams beat the Washington Redskins, 15-14, for the NFL championship. The deciding play turns out to be a first-quarter automatic safety when the Redskins’ Sammy Baugh passes from his own end zone and the wind carries the ball into the goal post. 1967 — Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia Warriors scores 68 points in a 143-123 victory over the Chicago Bulls. 2007 — Brett Favre passes for 227 yards in Green Bay’s 33-14 win over St. Louis, eclipsing Dan Marino to become the NFL career leader in yards passing. Favre, in his 17th season, finishes the game with 61,405 yards.

when they teamed, for one year, on the Kansas City-based club volleyball team known as the Asics MAVS. Fast friends from the start, the two bonded over their small-town upbringing, their love of the game and, of course, the fact that both had committed to Kansas. Back then, they often talked about their future at KU and what they hoped to accomplish as Jayhawks. Now that they have done it, they want more. “To make it to the Final Four is amazing,” Soucie said. “But we all realize that we have an opportunity to do even more, and we’re just trying to focus on the fact that we got to the Final Four and now we need to keep moving forward. This isn’t the end. We’re not there yet.”

K U coach Ray Bechard loves that attitude. And he said some of it might c o m e Soucie from Soucie and Wait being coaches’ kids. “I think they are used to coaching,” he said. “They are Wait used to good body posture.

He’s Ford tough ——————‑

First-round pick out to prove he’s no bust By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — Chiefs general manager John Dorsey likes to say that it takes two years minimum, and often three or more, to determine whether a draft choice was a success or failure. Good thing for Dee Ford. After a rookie season in which he barely got onto the field, the young pass rusher finally showed Sunday why Dorsey made him a first-round pick. In place of injured All-Pro Justin Houston, Ford racked up three sacks of Chargers John Young/Journal-World File Photo quarterback Philip RivKANSAS’ TIANA DOCKERY (7) AND ANNA CHURCH (1) WATCH AS JUNIOR MAGGIE ANDERSON ers, then blanketed run(19) keeps the ball in play during Kansas’ second-round NCAA volleyball tournament match ning back Danny Woodagainst Missouri on Dec. 4 at the Horejsi Center.

“

scenario and really take advantage of it.” Few outside the Southeastern Conference knew much about Ford when he was chosen out of Auburn two years ago. He was a solid but unspectacular pass rusher with questionable coverage skills who, most of the draft pundits said, was a reach to go in the first round to Kansas City. Especially when the Chiefs already had Houston and Tamba Hali. But Dorsey grew up in the Ron Wolfe school of draft philosophy, and that means taking the best player available regardless of position. It’s why Dorsey, a former Packers executive, helped take Aaron Rodgers in the first round in Green Bay with Brett Favre already under center. So when Ford was still on the board when it came time for the Chiefs to draft, Dorsey looked at his wall and saw the speedy linebacker at the time of his pecking order. He made the call. Dorsey was questioned about the move at the time. And the questions never faded as Ford failed to start a game as a rookie, compiling three tackles and 11⁄2 sacks all season. “Had I listened to the noise, I wouldn’t have been ready for any of the opportunities that I was presented now,” Ford said. “Through last year and this year, you have to be patient. With whatever your role is, you have to fill it out. Be man enough to humble yourself and learn from two of the greatest line-

backers in this league and I’ve been able to do some things.” There is no timetable for Houston’s return — the Chiefs merely call him day to day. And when he returns, there is a good chance Ford returns to his role as a situational pass rusher. But with the 32-year-old Hali heading toward free agency, and on the downward side of his standout career, the Chiefs will begin looking toward the future. That could mean Ford moves into the lineup as the regular starter opposite Houston as soon as next year. It was a thought that made Chiefs fans shudder just a few days ago. It’s one that sounds a whole lot better after Sunday. “He’s a first-round pick. Everybody expects him to do really good,” fellow Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said. “When you have opportunities like he did, seize the moment and get better from there. There’s plenty of things you can get better from. Football is never perfect, but hat’s off to Dee. He did a great job stepping in due to Justin Houston being hurt and he did a heck of a job.” Notes: Reid did not have an update on RB Spencer Ware. Ware left Sunday’s game twice after hurting his ribs. ... The Chiefs missed another field goal Sunday, one week after having all kinds of trouble with special teams. “We’ve been a little inconsistent,” Reid said. “We have to fix that. Go back to the basics and fundamentals there.”

He broke the Baker single season record for receiving yards in a season with 1,113. He also tied a school record with 16 receiving

touchdowns in 2015 and was named to three different Heart All-Conference teams this season as a wide receiver and kicker. Pauley finished the season with 73 total team tackles, finishing third on the team and he picked off six interceptions, good for second on the squad behind Darrian Winston. He led Baker in tackles for loss with 17.5.

Cranberry Spice Loaf

Cranberry spice loaf a not-too-sweet treat

Bite Sighs

ecember is typically one big sugarfest, with cakes and cookies and candy of all descriptions. If you have a friend or family member who was born with an undersized sweet tooth, this is the recipe for them. Not quite a cake, but more than a bread, this little round loaf is just enough to satisfy a savory snack- namon 1 teaspoon ground inclined guest while they ginger wait for the holiday din1/4 teaspoon ground ner bell. cloves 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup dried cranberries Cranberry Spice

Audrey Lintner

Loaf Ingredients 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened 1 egg 2/3 cup brown sugar corn syrup 1/3 cup milk 1 teaspoon lemon juice 2 cups flour 2 teaspoons ground cin-

Directions Grease up a 9-inch round cake pan and set it aside. Fire up your oven to 350 F (as usual). Toss the butter into your stand mixer and whirl it at medium speed until the butter is nice and spreadable. Add the egg and blend on medium speed for about

30 seconds. Pour in the corn syrup and try not to lick your fingers. Blend for another 30 seconds. Stir the lemon juice into the milk, dump that into the bowl, and blend for yet another 30 seconds. Combine the flour, spices and baking soda in a small bowl and add it all at once to the mess in the mixer. Can you guess what comes next? Did you say, “Blend for 30 seconds?” Hah! Fooled you; neener, neener! Let it go for a whole 45 seconds. Throw the cranberries into the bowl and mix on low speed just until everything is combined. Scrape (and I do mean scrape; this stuff is thick) the doughbatter into your prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Stop licking your fingers. Shove the pan in the oven and let it bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a tooth-

pick comes out mostly clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes, and then transfer it to a plate for serving. You can dress this up and really make it your own. Add some chopped pecans, or a capful of rum extract. Bake two and stack them together with some cream cheese frosting. Replace the cranberries with chopped dried apricots. My favorite way so far is served warm with a generous slathering of brown sugar cream cheese, because my sweet tooth is not just outsized, it’s hyperactive. Whatever you decide is bound to be tasty; drop me a line and let me know how it turns out. Enjoy! — Have a question or suggestion for Bite Sighs? Email Audrey Lintner at bitesighs@hotmail.com.

Roasted Shrimp with Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce, left, Confetti Shrimp Cocktail, top right, and Sauteed Shrimp Cocktail, right

3 fun updates on the classic shrimp cocktail

e all love shrimp cocktail, right? Extra spicy/horseradishy? I don’t care if the 1970s called and want their appetizer back — it’s delicious. And it’s easy and everyone at your party will eat their weight in it. The bonus is that it’s even healthy, which is not something we can say for most appetizer-y foods since they are typically laden with cheese, carbs, more cheese and sour cream. I’ve been thinking about holiday snacks and parties, and what my go-to contributions are, and I’ve been feeling pretty guilty about hauling sausage balls and creamy dips into everyone’s lives. My friend Tim made it clear that some people actually appreciate an offering that isn’t quite as hard on the diet when they approach a snack table. Fine,

then. Shrimp cocktail it is. But I can’t just do the regular old boring shrimp ring with the red stuff. I needed some new and fun ways to twist on the old favorite. So, I give you shrimp cocktail party: three ways. All of the ways are fast, delicious and mostly health conscious.

Roasted Shrimp With Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce Ingredients 1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled Dash of olive oil 1/4 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons sour cream Dash salt and pepper 3 tablespoons prepared sun-dried tomato vinaigrette (salad dressing)

The Flying Fork

Megan Stuke 1/8 teaspoon garlic

Directions Preheat the oven to 400 F. Coat the shrimp in a bit of olive oil, and lay them on a baking sheet to roast for about 8 minutes. Mix the sauce ingredients together, then arrange the shrimp on a platter and drizzle the sauce over. Garnish with a little something green for a pretty presentation.

Confetti Shrimp Cocktail

Sauteed Shrimp Cocktail

Ingredients 1 lb shrimp 1/2 avocado 1 jalapeno 1/2 red bell pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/8 teaspoon cumin 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt Dash cayenne pepper Dash hot sauce

Ingredients 1/2 lb small to mediumsized shrimp, no shells 1/2 cup chili sauce 1 tablespoons (or more — I like more) horseradish Squeeze of lemon juice

Directions Boil the shrimp, tails on. Dice all of the vegetables into very small pieces, in mostly a uniform size. Stir in the oil and spices. You can either arrange the shrimp on a platter and spoon the “sauce” over, or you can put it in a bowl or glass and arrange the shrimp around. Whatever presentation works for you!

Directions Saute the shrimp in 2 tablespoons of butter until it’s almost cooked through. Meanwhile, mix up the rest of the ingredients into a cocktail sauce. Pour it over the sauteed shrimp and warm everything through. Serve with some crusty bread or good crackers on the side to serve as the vehicle. — Megan Stuke is a busy mom who tries to prepare nutritional and interesting meals for her family.

Tuna and pasta skillet pie makes an easy one-pot meal white meat tuna packed in water, 1 small package fresh linguine, 1 package shredded, reduced-fat cheddar cheese, 1 bottle ground chipotle powder and 1 small package sliced baby bello mushrooms. Staples: canola oil and salt.

By Linda Gassenheimer Miami Herald

Skillet pie filled with tuna and pasta is a quick one-pot dinner for this very busy time of year. Markets are crowded during holiday time. Keep these ingredients on hand and you can make dinner without facing the crowds. Diced or chopped frozen onion and green peppers, sliced baby ‘bello mushrooms and a good bottled pasta sauce are other time-savers for this recipe. Ground chipotle powder found in the spice section of the market adds a smoky flavor. Chipotle powder can also spice up most other foods: salad dressings, vegetables, potatoes, rice and meats. The pasta is cooked in the skillet with the other ingredients. Fresh pasta is best for this dish. You can find it in the supermarket. If using a dried pasta, increase the cooking time to 15 minutes and add 1/2 cup pasta sauce and 1/2 cup water to the recipe.

Tuna Skillet Pie

Al Diaz/Miami Herald

Tuna Skillet Pie Wine pairing Fred Tasker suggests: “Tuna and pasta is one of those red-wine-withfish dishes, so I would try a fruity Italian barbera.”

Shopping list To buy: 1 package frozen or chopped onion, 1 package frozen or chopped green pepper, 1 small bottle pasta sauce, 12 ounces canned solid

Ingredients 2 teaspoons canola oil 1 cup chopped or diced frozen onion 1 cup chopped or diced frozen green pepper 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder 1 cup pasta sauce 1 cup water 1/4 pound fresh linguine 1 cup sliced baby portobello mushrooms 12 ounces white meat tuna packed in water Salt 1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese

Directions Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over mediumhigh heat. Add onion, green bell pepper, chipotle powder, pasta sauce and water. Bring to simmer, add pasta and cook gently 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and tuna, breaking tuna into small pieces with a spoon. Simmer 3 minutes. Add salt to taste. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover with lid and let sit 2 to 3 minutes to melt cheese. Bring skillet to table, cut pasta in wedges and serve. Per serving: 552 calories (22 percent from fat), 13.6
