Coos Bay approves boardwalk flag proposal DEVAN PATEL The World

COOS BAY — After delaying the boardwalk flag decision to gather more public input, the Coos Bay City Council unanimously voted to include more culturally significant flags along the boardwalk and Bayshore Drive. With public opinion still evenly divided, the city council elected to follow the suggestions of the Council Flag committee, which proposed adding the flags of local and tribal entities in addition to domestic

and international trade partners. “I think that it seems pretty split and the committee has come up with a compromise,” council member Jennifer Groth said. As part of its selection criteria, the flag committee, consisting of council members Mike Vaughan and Thomas Leahy, Mayor Crystal Shoji and City Manager Rodger Craddock, identified flags of entities influential to the region’s past and present. Following its established criteria, the committee suggested the state flags of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii and California, and the country flags of Canada,

Mexico, Japan, China, South Korea, Philippines and Australia. In addition to the state and international flags, the committee also suggested the flags of Coos Bay, North Bend, the Coquille Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of the Coos and Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians as well as the Tall Ship Port of Oregon flag. “We’ve chosen a theme to be inclusive,” Vaughan said. “There’s a lot of ways we can acknowledge trade partners, cultural origins and a sense of patriotism we feel.” While the flagpoles along the boardwalk will no longer display only the American

flag, that sense of patriotism will be prevalent as the flagpoles running along Central Avenue toward City Hall will continue to solely hoist the American flag. Although the flag committee’s proposal is similar to the original flag display, which raised the flags of 34 different countries from 1991-2009, the solicitation of public input has garnered some dissenting opinions, including those from retired military personnel.

First pull brings smiles

 Early commercial Dungeness crab is proving to be big, at least in quality TIM NOVOTNY The World

CHARLESTON — The commercial Dungeness crab season started in a downpour of rain at 9 a.m. Monday. By mid-day on Tuesday, the rain was gone and the smiles were out along the docks at Charleston Marina.

OIMB grad students join Univ. of Oregon strike CHELSEA DAVIS The World

CHARLESTON — The University of Oregon graduate student teacher strike has extended to the South Coast. Oregon Institute of Marine Biology grad student teachers protested on Bastendorff Beach on Tuesday, joined by union representatives from the Eugene campus and OIMB supporters. The union is calling on UO to finalize the Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation’s union contract, which has been in negotiations since November 2013. The parties went into mediation this summer. “This is bigger than Eugene,” said Dan Thomas, GTFF steward for UO’s Department of Biology in Eugene. The union is asking for cost-ofliving wage increases and two weeks each of paid medical and parental leave. On Monday, UO administration offered to instead develop a Graduate Student Assistance Fund, to which grad student teachers could apply for financial help. “Right now the sticking point is the paid medical and parental leave,” said Marie Hunt, OIMB

graduate student teacher and GTFF steward. “It seems like the fund could be workable, but ... right now it’s just a promise, not a contractual obligation.” Thomas said the union would l i ke so m e fo r m o f administrative control over that fund as it has with its health care plan. The GTFF Health and Welfare MORE Trust is comprised ONLINE: of UO administration Watch the and union representavideo at tives. theworld“Unless we have a link.com. role in administering the funds, it’s often very difficult to deal with administration,” Thomas said. Hunt said OIMB undergrads won’t be directly impacted by the strike during their final days of fall term this week, but the GTFs in Charleston wanted to support the rest of their union in Eugene. “We don’t want to be on strike,” she said. “We’d rather be back at work.” OIMB’s place in this strike is unique. Since the cost of living is lower in Coos Bay than in Eugene, GTFs are in turn paid less.

“OIMB GTFs are locally paid very close to the university’s minimum salary level,” Hunt said. “We’re the lowest-paid members in the biology department. “This will have a direct impact on us and our lives.” In an announcement declaring its intent to strike Monday night, the union said it plans to file an unfair labor practice claim with Oregon’s E mployment Relations Board, claiming UO administration violated collective bargaining laws: Supervisors asking GTFs to comp lete extra work or early work in preparation of a strike Supervisors directly asking GTFs about their intents to strike Administrators instituting new workplace rules in anticipation of a strike T he university said mediation will resume Thursday.

Councilor voices concerns about Waterfront revenue DEVAN PATEL The World

COOS BAY — As part of the next step in developing a Community Enhancement Plan for revenue generated by the Jordan Cove Energy Project, the Bay Area Enterprise Zone’s Waterfront Development Partnership subcommittee submitted its recommendations to the Coos Bay City Council in search of feedback Tuesday night. While most of the council largely agreed with the subcommittee’s recommendations and refrained from making comments, councilor Mark Daily voiced his concerns about allocation of revenue.

councilors Jennifer Groth and Stephanie Kramer, and new electee Fred Brick sworn into office, the council solicited interest levels for the position of council president. With only Kramer interested in filling the position, councilors nominated and unanimously voted her for

president. Despite running unopposed, a vote by ballot was required to finalize the appointment. While the council presidential appointment was anticlimactic, the Urban Renewal Agency saw some reorganization as Groth was voted in as chairman.

Groth defeated previous chairman Mark Daily by a 4-2 vote. While Daily lost his bid to return as president, he will serve as vice-chair for the next term. With no opposition running against him, Mike Vaughan was again elected secretary.

Sick forests can be healed - with time and money Oregon Views ‌T he announcement that forests are sickly in the Blue Mountains and elsewhere in the drier sections of the Northwest hardly qualifies as news. But a recent study brings a fresh, albeit troubling, perspective to the problem. The report, co-written by ecologists from the U.S. Forest Service and The Nature Conservancy, was published in the journal of Forestry and Ecology Management. Among the authors’ conclusions is that at the current pace of forest restoration on national forests in the region, the job will take more than half a century to finish. That’s too slow. At that rate it’s a virtual certainty that hundreds of thousands of acres will burn before they’re restored. Nature will wipe the slate clean, to be sure. As the study points out, it’s possible to restore forests. Some areas need a combination of cutting trees — mainly smaller, fire-prone fir trees and leaving the healthier, fire-resistant ponderosa pines and tamaracks — and proper use of prescribed fire to mimic what natural fires used to accomplish. In other places prescribed fire would be sufficient. In all areas, though, it will take time — decades of it — for forests to fully recover from decades of selective logging that favored the most fire-resistant trees, and

Program shows students the path of secondary education News of declining enrollment at Eastern Oregon University is alarming not just for the school but for the community to which it is inextricably bound. EOU makes La Grande a more vibrant community and a regional center. Arguably, the college is the heartbeat of La Grande. That’s why news about Academic Momentum is encouraging. The program, part of Eastern Promise, is directed

toward students throughout Eastern Oregon, starting in the fifth grade. Academic Momentum is designed to show students a blueprint that, if followed, could ultimately help them unlock their talents and expand their career opportunities. The program is more than just pie in the sky. Fifth graders make a field trip to EOU to get a feel for postsecondary education. Seventh graders visit a partner college to learn about other future academic options. Academic Momentum also shows families how to overcome the hurdles thrown up by poverty, which is the real root of the dropout problem, at any level of school. Certainly, children growing up in poverty have a tougher path. The Academic Momentum program is trying to work with all students, rich or poor, to show pathways toward education beyond high school.

John Kitzhaber has made no bones about his belief that this state needs a sales tax. Carefully designed, a sales tax need not fall too heavily on those at the lower end of the economic ladder, and it would give Oregon a means of collecting money from the millions of tourists who come to the state each year. Yet, after years of study, Kitzhaber also recognizes something else: Oregonians want an income tax about as much as the St. Charles Health System wants the Ebola virus. He will focus instead on cutting the state’s capital gains tax and making other relatively small changes to our tax code. Oregon’s capital gains tax is the third highest in the nation, behind only California and New York. That’s bad news for Oregon. Consider this, from The Oregonian. In 2007, some 297 of this state’s top capital gains taxpayers moved to Clark County, Washington, where there is no such tax. In doing so, they reduced this state’s tax collections by more than $49 million. Still, Kitzhaber has his work cut out for him. It will take all of his considerable political savvy to accomplish even modest tax reform, we suspect, though we do hope he succeeds. The (Bend) Bulletin

Benefits for immigrants? ‌W hen the Affordable Care Act was being written and debated, President Obama took care to emphasize that no illegal immigrants would be eligible for its benefits. But Republicans have always suspected the administration wanted to extend not only Obamacare but a whole range of federal benefits to illegal immigrants. And now, the president’s unilateral executive action on immigration seems to be confirming some of those fears. On Nov. 11, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell participated in an online chat with a group of Latino bloggers. Burwell was asked a twopart question. Would the young immigrants known as Dreamers be eligible Byron for Obamacare subsidies, YORK and can so-called mixed families — for example, Columnist a family with illegal parents and legal children — receive benefits? Dreamers are not eligible, Burwell said. But she left no doubt that she — along with officials at the highest levels of the Obama administration — wants that to change. “I think that everyone probably knows that this administration feels incredibly strongly about the fact we need to fix that,” Burwell explained. “We need to reform the system and make the changes that we need that will lead to benefits in everything from healthcare to economics to so many

things — a very important step that we need to take as a nation.” Finally, Burwell stressed that no one in the government will ask applicants if they are here legally or not. Coming from the cabinet officer in charge of administering the Affordable Care Act, Burwell’s words left some Republicans convinced that it’s only a matter of time before the White House breaks Obama’s promise. Republican concerns have been intensified by Obama’s slippery language about other federal benefits. In announcing executive action, for example, the president said to those affected that if, among other requirements, “you’re willing to pay your fair share of taxes,” then “you can come out of the shadows and get right with the law.” The phrase “pay your fair share of taxes” suggests to most ears that Obama meant immigrants involved would pay their fair share of taxes. But in fact Obama’s action will make many immigrants eligible to be paid by the government, and not the other way around; many will now be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit, which could mean they receive thousands of taxpayer dollars each year. It’s not clear exactly how far-reaching the effects of Obama’s immigration edict will be. But there’s no doubt it has increased the already high level of mistrust between the president and Republicans on Capitol Hill.

Our View Wyden bill still misses mark Don Gurney ‌The Oregon and California Land Grant Act of 2013 proposed by Senator Ron Wyden is advertised to “improve timber management” that will provide necessary revenue to the eighteen timber dependent O&C counties while also placating environmentalists. The bill does neither and both sides are complaining. The bill tethers timber payments to the vagaries of the market and one side bitterly notes the allowable cut will not generate adequate revenue while environmental groups argue the forests will be overcut. The one reported bright spot for Coos County in the final markup would be, if it were true, the separation of the Coos Bay Wagon Road revenue from the O&C lands. The CBWR and the O&C lands are both managed by the BLM but are otherwise wholly unrelated, having been designated at different times by different Congressional Acts and for completely different reasons and with an entirely different distribution model. Unlike the O&C that has always been tied to market conditions in the timber industry, the CBWR was setup for the county to receive payments in lieu of taxes. Unfortunately, Wyden’s staff along with this newspaper fail to distinguish the CBWR lands from the O&C lands which perpetuates the confusion that in the proposed bill lumps revenue from the former that should be directed proportionately just to Coos and Douglas counties into the O&C fund. The net result, Coos County loses 60,000 acres of its tax base worth approximately $1 billion. Without going into a long history lesson, the state of Oregon agreed to convey the CBWR grant lands from private taxpaying ownership to the federal government only in exchange for payments in lieu of taxes, irrespective of market

conditions. The deal was struck and sealed in 1919 and the Coos Bay Wagon Road Fund was established. The 1919 Act placed the CBWR lands into the public domain having nothing whatsoever to do with the Oregon & California Railroad. Nevertheless Congress, in the 1937 O&C Act, made virtually the same exact error Wyden’s bill is set to make should it pass, which is to give our tax revenue to all 18 counties. After local officials in 1937 pressured their federal representatives, Congress had to fix its error two years later and enacted the Coos Bay Wagon Road Act of 1939. Despite referencing the 1939 CBWR Act, the 2013 Act treats CBWR and O&C the same and fails to allocate revenue derived from CBWR to the CBWR Fund and instead distributes those funds into the O&C Fund. The 2013 Act specifies that management and administrative costs allocated to the BLM for both the CBWR and O&C lands are fixed and derived from annual timber harvests without respect to volume. Without changing the allocation defined by the 2013 Act, Coos County will only receive 6 percent, rather than 75 percent of the revenue derived from the CBWR lands. For 25 years timber counties have been struggling to balance budgets relying on federal payments tethered to harvests. In 2011 and again in 2013 I proposed an amendment to the 1939 Act to the Coos County Commission that would allocate payments in lieu of taxes to the county from the treasury that is not tied to timber revenue the same way the management and administrative costs hav been funded since 1985. A retired Naval officer and longtime Coos County rancher and logger, Don Gurney lives on the CBWR and is an authority on regional timber legislation. He was a 2014 candidate for Coos County commissioner.

Letters to the Editor

Our veterans deserve better

‌In regard to the letter Thursday, Nov. 20, from Len Milbyer, “Counties aren’t honoring veterans,” we thought that was a true and appropriate article. Here’s hoping it will encourage our elected officials into doing something on Veterans Day to honor those men and women who served and fought and are still fighting for our freedom. We go to Roseburg every year and ride in their parade, with the Patriot Guard Riders and the Vietnam Veterans of America, Agent Orange float. Thousands of citizens line the streets as the floats and various veterans groups pass by shouting and clapping ... it is both emotional and heart warming for our veterans. There are many Vietnam veterans who were not given a “welcome home” in attendance. World War II veterans, wheelchair bound, attempting to stand and salute. Unspeakable joy we receive ... words cannot express. One of the best parts of the parade is watching the Marshfield and North Bend high school bands who faithfully march in that parade to honor veterans year after year. They volunteer and ride school buses so they can participate. After the parade, Marshfield’s band goes to the Veterans Hospital and marches around the hospital campus for those veterans who are not able to attend the parade. This makes our hearts swell with pride, watching these kids, these young patriots, who give back so much and are faithful every year. As Len Milbyer said, Coos Bay is the largest coastal town, and we are astonished that the local county commissioners (the exception being Mayor Wetherell, North Bend) don’t think enough of our veterans to do anything to honor them. Take down the “We Honor Veterans” if that isn’t what you are going to do. Frank and Donna Wait Coos Bay

Care lacking on council

‌The Pacific Cove zoning change application passed by a 3-2 vote of the Coos Bay City Council. There is scant way of knowing if the two “no” votes were just for show or not, so the presumption of the done deal remains. Impacted residents will just have to live with the excess traffic, reduced parking and any noise coming from the facility. A couple of years ago, the city also began imposing a “business” fee on my residential rental across from the impending animal shelter, but without a C-2 zone designation. As my email to the city administrator proclaimed, my rental does not conform to the common definition of a business, with customers and suppliers entering at all hours. A tenancy does not alter the basic character of the neighborhood, and a business fee is inappropriate. The response was

that the fee is appropriate without C-2 Zoning because it is on the books and the fee isn’t exorbitant (yet). Coupled with the fact that the city was instrumental in destroying my other CB rental home (in Eastside) and the fact that I can’t even vote to oust any councilors (the epitome of taxation without representation), my resentment shouldn’t be surprising. I trust that I am not alone in noting the decades long antipathy towards average home owners by the city. Note the absence of ads for affordable rental houses for low income families. What to do? There is one thing I can do. I am terminating my bequest to CB to build a first class, public park basketball court, something that should have existed long ago given that it would get more use per dollar than existing sports facilities (see the George Artsitas article June 25.) Now I know that the city council doesn’t care, but I hope readers will remember the names Tom Leahy, Stephanie Kramer and Mike Vaughn when they or their kids have no decent outdoors place to shoot hoops on a sunny day. I offer this in hopes that no one will donate, volunteer or contribute to CB in any way until the mindset of those in charge establishes an about face in the way they treat residents. The apathy this paper decries is partly the result of this kind of antagonism — from Congress right down to our own local civic leaders. Would that it were not so, but it is. John Zimmerman Coos Bay

Local Gallery makes woman insecure ‌D EAR ABBY: I was divorced three years ago and have had a boyfriend, “Roger,” for a year and a half. He is seven years younger, and he’s intrigued with women on the Internet. He saves tons of photos of these girls on his cellphone. These ladies are “perfect.” They have big breasts and curvaceous behinds, etc. I have had two kids. I’m not overweight and I exercise and keep myself in shape, but I have Dear a “Mom body.” bby Roger h a s to l d me he loves my body and everything about me. But the feeling I Jeanne get is that Phillips he wishes I l o o ke d like those girls. I have asked Roger not to save these photos because it makes me insecure. If he’s going to look, fine. But saving them is another thing. He promised me he wouldn’t, but some of them are still there. So he not only makes me feel like a fatty, but he lies to me, too. He has more pictures of other girls than he does of me. Now I no longer feel comfortable undressing in front of him. I leave my clothes half-on and turn out the lights when we have sex. He has made me unable to stand myself. What do I do? — CAN’T COMPARE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CAN’T COMPARE: The first thing to do would be to stop looking at your boyfriend’s cellphone. Then ask yourself whether he has been seeing other women or just collecting pictures. If it’s the former, you have something to worry about. If it’s the latter, it’s no reflection on you, and he has voyeuristic tendencies (men are visual). You are overdue for a frank talk with Roger, and when you do, tell him everything you have written to me. Your problem may go deeper than his photo gallery and your lowered self-image. If you can’t trust what he tells you, the foundation of your relationship isn’t solid. DEAR ABBY: I’m carrying a heavy burden concerning my 14-year-old grandson. He told me in strictest confidence that he had sex with a 14-yearold girl. He swore me to secrecy, which I want to respect, but I’m torn about telling my daughter. She has a right to know that her son is sexually active and needs closer supervision. We discussed condoms (they used them), accidental pregnancy, possible criminal charges and responsibility, but I think he is more proud than alert to the possible consequences. If I share this with my daughter, I break a longheld trust. When I urged him to tell his mother, he refused. What do I do? This is tearing me up. — KANSAS GRANDPA DEAR GRANDPA: Without betraying the confidence, start talking to your daughter about how, at 14, her son is fast becoming a man with all that it entails, including raging hormones. Then suggest she have some frank talks with the boy and keep a closer eye on him, unless she wants to become a grandma before he’s out of high school.

UO graduate teaching assistants go on strike ‌EUGENE (AP) — Graduate teaching assistants went on strike Tuesday at the University of Oregon after contract talks stalled over medical and maternity leave benefits. The strike came near the end of the fall term, with papers piling up and final exams pending during a campus pause in preparation for finals next week. The university said it has an academic continuity plan in place. School documents describe measures such as extending the grading deadline, giving exams with short answers rather than essays, assigning extra duties and pay to faculty members, and hiring. “Final exams will be h e l d a n d g ra d e d , a n d grades will be entered,” said a statement from interim President Scott Coltrane. “And we will all look forward toward winter term.” The Graduate Teaching

“Final exams will be held and graded, and grades will be entered. And we will all look forward toward winter term.” Scott Coltrane, interim President

Fellows Federation represents about 1,500 teaching assistants, providing about a third of the instruction for undergraduate students, the Eugene Register-Guard reported. It was staging its first strike after being on campus for 38 years. The strikers want two weeks of paid medical or maternity leave a year. Un ive rs i ty ba rga i n ers proposed a $150,000

graduate student hardship fund that students could tap for $1,000, or $1,500 in the case of illness or the birth of a child. The school said the fund would be available to all graduate students, not just those with fellowships. About 500 of the teaching fellows kicked off the strike Monday evening in a 90-minute rally in the dark and rain in front of Johnson Hall, the university’s administration building. Supporters included politicians and representatives from other unions. Ron Bramhall of United Academics, the faculty union, thanked the teaching fellows for “setting the stage.” “We’re going to be bargaining in the spring,” Bramhall said. “We’re going to have the same conversation.” He added that he would not cross the strikers’ picket line or do their work.

spot problems, Kaushik said. Their level of access varies from county to county, with some counties requiring observers to watch on a television screen or from a window while others allow them to be close to the counting board, he said. The initiative would have required manufacturers, retailers and suppliers to label raw or packaged foods produced entirely or partially by genetic engineering. If the defeat holds, Oregon will be the fourth state in the West that has failed to pass a GMO labeling measure. A similar proposal was defeated this year in Colorado, which joined Washington state and California in opposing labeling initiatives. There’s little science that says genetically engineered foods are unsafe, and agribusinesses fear mandatory labels would spook consumers. Most of the nation’s corn and soybeans are genetically engineered to resist pests and herbicides. Labeling proponents say there’s too much that’s unknown about GMOs, and consumers have a right to know what’s in their food.

‌SALEM (AP) — Oregon election officials began tallying 1.5 million ballots by hand Tuesday, kicking off an automatic recount of a ballot measure that would require labels on genetically modified foods. Workers have until Dec. 12 to finish the recount, though some of the smaller counties expect to wrap up quickly. The first tally showed Measure 92 was defeated by less than a tenth of a percentage point — 812 votes — following the most expensive campaign in state history. Advocates on both sides of the issue spent nearly $30 million combined. The recount is cond u c te d by fo u r- p e rson “counting boards” appointed by the county clerk. The counters must be registered Oregon voters, and no two of them can be members of the same political party. One voter for and one against are allowed to observe. “Our intent is to make sure that every valid ballot is counted,” said Sandeep Kaushik, a spokesman for the measure’s proponents. The observers monitor the count and call into campaign officials if they

Get out without spending too much ‌ his is not the first T time in this column that we’ve visited the subject of how to get out of the supermarket with at least some money left in your bank account. Still, who doesn’t need an occasional reminder — a mental tune-up Everyday — to remain Cheapskate vigilant and razorsharp when it comes to making our food dollars stretch until they scream. Don’t Mary go in hunHunt g r y. Yo u believe that you can simply dash in to pick up the infamous few things. But if you’re starving, you’re a dead aim for a couple of steaks and a load of snacks. You know what I’m talking about. This is because of Rule No. 1: Anything can happen when you are hungry. Don’t try to remember. Sure, playing Brain Age on your kid’s Game Boy has revitalized your dead brain cells, rendering you the mental acuity of a youngster — but don’t push it. Without a list of the exact items you’ve come to purchase, who knows what could happen? It’s normal for our brains to slip into neutral in the face of fabulous food. A written list is the crutch you need desperately to make sure you do not slip and fall, so to speak. Don’t take your plastic or checkbook. Cash — currency, clams, folding money, smackers, greenbacks — this is how you should be paying for your supermarket purchases. What? Not convenient, you say? Well, of course not, silly. That’s the point. Convenience is the reason you’ve been dropping the equivalent of a mortgage payment for food every month. Making the process a bit less convenient is an easy to way to slow that mindless drain on your income. Don’t grab a shopping cart. Most of them have wobbly wheels anyway, so just walk on by when all you need are those few items. Surely you can carry the “few things” you need. Or get one of the handheld baskets. The point here is that you won’t be buying more than you can carry. Don’t dawdle. This is not the place you want to hang out just to soak in all the great sights and smells from the bakery, deli and rotisserie chickens. If you weren’t hungry when you arrived, you will be soon. Get what you need, and get out of there. For every 10 minutes you delay, plan on spending about another $30. Don’t deprive yourself. Work some “flex spend” into your budget. We all want to try new things, and in the candy land of choice known as the grocery store, this can lead to expensive last-minute choices. In my experience, the best way to combat this is not to fight it. Deciding to allow yourself a little flexibility — say, a $5 allowance or a single impulse item each week. That’s the way to avoid the feeling that you’re drowning in deprivation. You’ll be less likely to go overboard. Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

‌ ew lawsuit by N California woman brings Cosby sex abuse claims back into court setting LOS ANGELES (AP) — A lawsuit by a woman who claims Bill Cosby molested her when she was 15 years old has moved allegations of sexual misconduct against the comedian from the court of public opinion into the courthouse. Judy Huth’s lawsuit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles accuses Cosby of forcing her to perform a sex act on him in a bedroom of the Playboy Mansion around 1974. She is the latest woman to accuse the comedian of sex abuse, and is the first one since 2005 to file a lawsuit. The comedian has not been criminally charged and many of the claims are so old, they are barred by statutes of limitations. Huth’s lawsuit, however, contends that she became aware of the serious effect the abuse had on her within the past three years. California law allows victims of sex abuse when they were minors to bring a claim after adulthood if they discover later in life that they suffered psychological injuries as a result of the abuse.

Tests raise worry that battery shipments on passenger planes could catch fire

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dramatic government test results raise new concern that bulk shipments of rechargeable lithium batteries carried as cargo on passenger planes are susceptible to fires or explosions that could destroy the airliners. Yet U.S. and international officials have been slow to adopt safety restrictions that might affect the powerful industries that depend on the batteries and the airlines that profit from shipping them. The batteries are used in products ranging from cellphones and laptops to hybrid cars. In an April test by the Federal Aviation Administration, a cargo container was packed with 5,000 lithium-ion batteries and a cartridge heater added to simulate a single battery experiencing uncontrolled overheating. The heat from the cartridge triggered escalating overheating in nearby batteries, which spread in a chain reaction. Temperatures reached about 1,100 degrees. Once about 300 batteries had become involved, a fierce explosion blew open the container door and sent boxes flying, catching FAA and industry observers by surprise.

Police investigating Michael Brown’s stepfather for comments

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Police are investigating Michael Brown’s stepfather for angry comments on the streets of Ferguson after a grand jury decided not to indict the police officer who fatally shot his stepson, a spokesman said Tuesday. Video widely circulated after last week’s grand jury announcement shows Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, on top of a car and breaking down as the decision blares over a stereo.

‌BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — President Barack Obama announced an initiative Wednesday aimed at improving conditions and opportunities for American Indian youth, more than a third of whom live in poverty. Obama’s Generation Indigenous initiative calls for programs focused on better preparing young American Indians for college and careers, and developing leadership skills through the Department of Education and the Aspen Institute’s Center for Native American Youth. Members of the president’s staff also plan to visit reservations next year. The White House did not provide a cost estimate for the initiative, but a spokeswoman said the administration plans to fund it with existing money and the help of nonprofit and philanthropic organizations. The announcement,

The 3,600-square-mile reservation is home to about 8,500 people, many

of whom live in run-down homes, and where the unemployment rate runs as high as 20 percent. The suicide rate for American Indians aged 15 to 24 is more than twice the national rate. Cecilia Munoz, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, said the president and first lady “were deeply moved”

failures in federal policy and highlighting the need for more tribal help in the areas of economic development, health and education. Slightly more than two-thirds of Native youth graduate from high school, according to the 2014 Native Youth Report. One of the report’s recommendations is to strengthen tribal control of the education system on reservations. Officials are working to overhaul the Bureau of Indian Education, which is responsible for educating 48,000 Indian students in 23 states, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said. Jewell estimated it would cost more than $1 billion to fix schools with crumbling infrastructures. Officials are pursuing money through Congress, existing government programs and philanthropic organizations. “We have to get creative,” Jewell said.

Takata: Evidence doesn’t support national recall ‌D ETROIT (AP) — A defiant Takata Corp. told a U.S. safety agency that its demand for a nationwide air bag recall isn’t supported by evidence, and the government doesn’t have authority to tell a parts maker to do a recall. The company laid out its position in a Tuesday letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration obtained by The Associated Press that rejected the agency’s demand for a recall. It sets the stage for a confrontation at a House subcommittee hearing on the matter Wednesday morning. In a statement, NHTSA called Takata’s response “disappointing” and said it will review the response to determine the agency’s

force, spewing shrapnel into the passenger compartment. At least five deaths and dozens of injuries have been linked to the problem worldwide. But in its letter, Takata told Frank Borris, director of NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation, that the agency is basing its demand for a national recall on slim evidence. A national recall would add 8 million vehicles to previous recalls, Takata said. Those have been limited to high-humidity areas in Florida, Hawaii, along the Gulf Coast and in some U.S. territories. Takata has maintained that prolonged exposure to airborne moisture can cause the inflator propellant to burn faster than

designed, causing it to explode with too much force. But NHTSA, in its letter demanding a national recall, pointed to inflator ruptures that injured drivers in California and North Carolina — both outside the recall zone. Takata, however, told the agency that the California case involving a 2005 Honda Accord already is covered by a Honda service campaign, making a recall unnecessary. A 2007 Ford Mustang in the North Carolina case has not been examined by either Takata or NHTSA, the letter said. “Therefore, there is no way to ascertain what actually occurred during the incident, whether any inflator ruptured,” it said.

Wednesday’s conference involves leaders from 566 federally recognized tribal nations, along with 36 White House Youth Ambassadors chosen from around the country through an essay contest. “People who grow up in a poverty culture sometimes need guidance, need values, need a little bit of structure,” said Chase Iron Eyes, an attorney and Native American rights activist from Standing Rock who is attending the conference. “Through some of the things the administration is doing, it looks like they’re trying to do that,” he said. “Youth — they just need the right tools, and maybe they can empower themselves.” The White House also released a report Wednesday acknowledging

W.Va. shooter held personal, professional grudges ‌MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — An ex-convict who owned a towing company made good on his grudges, police said Tuesday, killing his partner, his business rival, his ex-girlfriend and the woman’s new boyfriend before firing a bullet through his head in the cab of his pickup truck. P osting a message to Facebook as police hunted him down after the rampage, Jody Lee Hunt said he wanted to see that his victims “received their fair pay of hurt.”

“ My actions were not right nor were the actions of those who tried to tear m e down and take from m e,” Hunt wrote in the l engthy Facebook post before committing suicide. T he shootings began M onday morning with H unt settling a profess ional grudge: For the past couple of months, he had been complaining to county officials that towing operators, including his rival Doug Brady, had been poaching jobs, Monongalia County commissioner Tom

Bloom said. Police said Hunt drove o ver to Doug’s Towing and shot Brady in the head twice while he was working in his garage. That set off what would b ecome about a 12-hour manhunt for the 39-yearold Hunt and his black 2011 Ford F-150, leaving the city on edge and police miles behind. Hunt next drove next to a home his ex-girlfriend, 3 9-year-old Sharon Kay Berkshire, was renting with her new boyfriend, Michael

The change to Resolution 09-21, which in July 2 009 declared flagpoles w ould continually disp lay the American flags until U.S. military troops w ere recalled from Iraq a nd Afghanistan, was first brought up following Shoji’s comments about the U.S. government recalling t roops from abroad during the city council’s June 3 meeting.

So, we’re at 29 percent, w hich is just phenomenal. So far, the crabbers are pulling lots of crab and have smiles on their faces.” W hile the quality is drawing early raves, it will be the quantity in the season that determines how long those smiles stay on faces.

The rest of the time it’s scratching out there to see what you can get,” Link said. “A lot of the big boats, they’ll stay out four, five, six days. They have holds big enough to hold a larger quantity of crab and the big indicator is when those big boats start coming in and unloading and then go back out for their second pull to see how that goes.” H e says the seas on will really start to pull into focus later this month, when the Oregon

D epartment of Fish and W ildlife releases more accurate numbers. For now, both men say, c onsumers should just enjoy what is starting out to be a bountiful harvest. And it is a harvest that can ultimately be bountiful in more ways than one. “ Come on down and support your local businesses,” LeDoux said. “Buy local crab. Our fishermen are community members here, so let’s support them and what they’re doing.” That support, and the l arge Dungeness crab, could make Christmas a “ merry” time indeed in Charleston.

Southwestern’s Dvante Howard searches for a teammate to pass to while New Hope’s Josiah Lynch defends Tuesday. Stout finished with 10 points and Dolan and Nick Johnson added eight each. High-point honors for the game went to New Hope’s Tayler Branch, who led three teammates in double figures with 32 points. Carlos McLeod added 14 and Nicholas Dillingham and Isiah Large had 10 each for the Deacons.

‌COOS BAY — Last year, Southwestern Oregon Community College had every single player except for one, Athena Farr, miss at least a practice or a game because of an injury. A perpetually depleted roster may have left the Lakers with a 2-10 conf erence record in the NWAC South Region last season, but to fill in those c onstant holes in the lineup, SWOCC’s freshman got plenty of minutes to develop. T hose freshman are n ow sophomores, and w ith 10 of the 14 Lakers on the roster in their second year, SWOCC ran t hrough New Hope on Tuesday at Prosper Hall 85-70.

“Everyone got so much experience last year that everybody is ready to go this year,” SWOCC head coach Mike Herbert said. “ They care about each o ther enough where t hey’re not selfish and t hey’re not going to be u pset if they don’t get t he minutes somebody else gets.” SWOCC finished seco nd at the Clackamas T hanksgiving Tournament over the weekend, losing to the host team in the final. The Lakers continued their relative hot streak by jumping out to a 22-10 lead in the first 14 minutes of play and looked completely in control the entire game. The Deacons eventually cut the lead to 23-19, but that was the closest they got the rest o f the way. The Lakers

LAKER MEN

‌COOS BAY — One big play sparked a strong second half surge as the Southwestern Oregon Community College men’s basketball team earned its first win of the season Tuesday, beating New Hope 87-71. The visiting Deacons led 37-35 at halftime. But on the opening possession of the second half, SWOCC’s Jordan Willis lofted a lob pass to Dvante Howard, who slammed the ball home, completing a picture-perfect alley-oop. T he Lakers then scored the next 13 points, and led by at least six points the rest of the way. “It was a great start to the second half,” said Willis, who had a huge game for the Lakers with 27 points, 11 rebounds and four assists. “I felt that gave us a spark,” added Howard, who also had a big night, finishing with 17 points, 12 rebounds and six assists. The Lakers planned the play during halftime, they just weren’t sure whether it was going to go to be Howard or Willis on the receiving end of the pass. “We thought it was going to be there,” SWOCC coach Trevor Hoppe said, adding that it helped get the Lakers off to their big surge. “We came out with that energy,” Hoppe said. “The defense picked up and that got us going.” Robby Dilg and Ivan Harper scored on fast breaks and Will Dolan and Garrett Stout hit 3-pointers to help the Lakers open their big advantage. New Hope eventually pulled within six points at 68-62, but Dolan hit a second 3-pointer and the Lakers pulled away down the stretch. The strong second half was a nice change for the Lakers as they earned their first win. “We’ve kind of run into some lulls in the second half,” Hoppe said. “The first half, we were kind of flat,” Howard said. “The second half, we came out and everybody was talking.” “ We decided we all had to come out strong in the second half,” added Willis. Both halves, the Lakers found success getting the ball inside to Willis, who shot 13-for-15 from the floor. “They were giving me the post,” he said. “I had to take advantage of what they were giving me.” “He stepped up and made some nice finishes at the basket,” Hoppe said. As a team, the Lakers scorched the nets the final 20 minutes. SWOCC was 15-for-41 in the first half, but rallied to shoot 35-for-70 for the game. They were 4-for-8 from outside the arc and 16-for-21 on two-point attempts in the final 20 minutes.

Aldridge dishes out game-winning assist for Blazers PAT GRAHAM

The Associated Press‌

‌DENVER (AP) — Given h is choice, LaMarcus A ldridge would much rather hit a game-winning shot. But hey, this dishing out a winning assist isn’t so bad, either. A ldridge scored a season-high 39 points and set up the winning basket on a pass inside to Robin Lopez with 1.3 seconds left, helping the Portland Trail Blazers rally for a 105-103 win over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night. Aldridge’s first inclination was to take the midrange jumper himself. But the play was designed to go to Lopez and since the center had J.J. Hickson sealed off with his hip, Aldridge tossed it inside for the easy layup. “Everybody in the arena t hought I would shoot it i f I touched it,” Aldridge said. “So I tried to throw it to (Lopez).” It wasn’t an easy entry p a s s by a ny s t re tc h . Aldridge had to put a little spin on the ball to get it to Lopez.

Practice that pass much? “Never. I swear, never,” Aldridge said. “I’m in the post a lot. I know when I’m holding a guy off where I want the ball.” In addition to distributing the ball, Aldridge also tried his hand at reporter, d ucking into the scrum and asking Lopez about his game winner. “ I’m eyeing LaMarc us Aldridge. I’m eyeing D amian Lillard,” Lopez responded. “By the end of the season, the ball’s going to be in my hands. Just letting you know.” O nce Lopez hit the l ayup, there was a little w ork to do. But Danilo Gallinari’s 3-pointer at the b uzzer was well short as the Blazers won their seventh straight over Denver. A ldridge also had 11 rebounds for his fifth doub le-double in six games. L illard scored 17 points, a nd Wesley Matthews added 15. T y Lawson led Denver with 24 points and 13 assists on the second night of a back-to-back.

W a l l a ce wa s se l e c te d C omeback Player of the Year after returning from knee surgery.

U nited midfielder, took o ver as coach in August 2 010. The team was an M LS-worst 3-24-7 in 2013, the fewest points in t he team’s history, then r ebounded to go 17-9-8 t his season and top the

E astern Conference in the biggest one-year MLS turnaround. D.C. United lost to the New York Red Bulls on 3-2 aggregate in the conference semifinals. Olsen received 103 percent of a possible 300 perc ent in weighted ballots a dded from team, media a nd player votes, the league said Tuesday. Seattle’s Sigi Schmid was second with 47 percent and Columbus’s Gregg Berhalter third with 35 percent.

steal to cut the Laker lead to 69-62. Herbert elected t o put Cole — the Lakers’ force inside — back in and the sophomore helped counter the Deacon run. Three-and-a-half minu tes later, SWOCC had gone on a 12-2 run to put the game out of reach and reserves were in for garbage time. “ Once we got there, I t old them, ‘We need to pick it up,’ and that’s what we did,” Cole said she told her team. “We should be — no offense — playing our game, not playing their’s.” C ole went 5-for-5 in the second half from the

field to close the game as SWOCC’s leading scorer with 17 points along with s even boards and three steals. H er mate in the middle Nitteayah Barfield had seven points and a a teamhigh nine rebounds while Yvonne Daniels pitched in 15 points with a couple of blocked shots and steals. Coquille graduate Maddy G rant, a freshman, had two points and a rebound for New Hope in her first game on the South Coast as a college student. As the season goes on, wins like Tuesday are not something Herbert is going

to take for granted. “For right now it’s a good feeling,” Herbert said. “In a bout three months it won’t be a very good feeling when they all have to leave, but right now it feels pretty good.” T he Lakers now sit at 4-3 so far in the preseason. T hey will next face off against College of the Redwoods at Eureka, Calif., on Saturday.

The question is: Short of a loss by one of those teams, is there anything a team on the outside can do to get in on Sunday when the final rankings are announced and the field for the first playoff is set? “We’re at the point, we’re waiting for results now,” selection committee chairman and Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long said Tuesday night. “We’re waiting for teams to complete their body of work. Again, we don’t project out. We’ve all seen games that have different outcomes than we expect. “We focus on what has been accomplished to this

point, and with that regard, the top four teams to this point are ranked where the committee believes they should be.” TCU (10-1) moved up to No. 3, becoming the latest team with a loss to jump past undefeated Florida State, and further distancing itself from Big 12 rival Baylor (10-1). The Bears, who beat TCU 61-58 in Waco, Texas, in October, are sixth and Ohio State sits in between them and the Horned Frogs at fifth. TCU finishes its regular season at home Saturday against Iowa State, which is winless in the Big 12. Baylor hosts Kansas State, which is ninth in the latest rankings. Baylor is currently working with a public relations firm to provide “additional support in telling the Bears’ story over the last few weeks of the football season,” said Nick Joos, executive athletic director for external affairs. The PR firm is sending

notes and statistics about Baylor to media members, not committee members. The Bears and Horned Frogs will end the season having played 10 common opponents. The biggest difference is TCU played Minnesota and Baylor played Buffalo. That combined with Baylor’s loss to West Virginia (7-5) is working in the Horned Frogs’ favor and keeping the head-to-head matchup from being the deciding factor. “As we pointed out before, TCU has five wins over teams with winning records or .500 records and above, and Baylor has three, if you include Texas at 6-6,” Long said. “I can’t say it’s one thing. It’s a number of things we look at, and we believe TCU is better and deserving of that No. 3 rank over Baylor.” Further complicating matters, the Horned Frogs and Bears would be cochampions of the Big 12 if

Arizona made a quick turnaround under Rodriguez JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press‌

‌ UCSON, Ariz. (AP) — T Rich Rodriguez inherited a program in disarray when he became Arizona’s coach in 2011. The players were woefully out of shape, apathy had replaced the winning mindset and the downward spiral was quickening. A massive rebuilding job, without question. But with a dose of discipline, patience and a dynamic offensive system, the eighth-ranked Wildcats have turned the program around faster than even Rodriguez expected, earning a spot in Friday’s Pac-12 Championship game against No. 3 Oregon. “I didn’t know if this would happen in year three,” Rodriguez said after the Wildcats beat rival Arizona State last Friday. “But I knew it could happen, otherwise I wouldn’t have come here. This is the perfect environment to build one of the best programs in the country. We aren’t there yet, but we’re on our way.” It’s been a rapid climb. Despite a lack of depth, particularly on defense, Rodriguez led the Wildcats to eight wins and a bowl victory in his first season. Arizona duplicated the feat last season. Still, with everything the Wildcats had accomplished under Rodriguez, expectations for this season remained flat; Arizona was picked to finish fourth in the Pac-12 South behind UCLA, USC and Arizona State. Be h i n d Ro d r i g u ez ’s innovative spread offense and a scrappy defense led by he’s-everywhere linebacker Scooby Wright, the Wildcats have been one of the biggest surprises of the college football season. Rallying from losses to the two Southern California schools in a span of three games, Arizona closed out the season with four straight wins, including last weekend’s 42-35 victory over the rival Sun Devils. The Wildcats’ first 10-win season since 1998 earned them a second shot at Oregon, a team they

Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez reacts to a play during the Wildcats’ game against Colorado earlier this season. Rodriguez has led Arizona to the Pac-12 championship game in just his third season. beat earlier this season. “People outside of us should be amazed,” Arizona senior safety Jourdan Grandon said. “But we knew what we (were) going to do before the season.” The Wildcats can’t afford to get ahead of themselves facing the dangerous Ducks for the second time this season, but the spoils that might come from winning the Pac-12 title game are hard to ignore. A f te r i t s w i n ove r the Sun Devils, Arizona moved up four spots to No. 8 in The Associated Press’ Top 25 and up four in the College Football Playoff Rankings to No. 7 on Tuesday. With several of the teams higher in the rankings playing tough opponents, Arizona has a legitimate shot at earning one of the coveted top four spots that determine the playoffs when the final standings are released on Sunday. Adding to it, one of the national semifinals is the Rose Bowl, a previously unattained goal in program history. “There’s a chance,” Rodriguez said. “You ever seen the movie Dumb and Dumber? ‘So you’re telling me there’s a chance.’”

The opportunity has given Arizona another: To prove it’s not just a basketball school. Basketball has reigned in Tucson since Lute Olson led the Wildcats to 25 straight NCAA tournament appearances and a national title. Sean Miller has brought the program back to the elite level after a couple of down years. The football team has had a few good years, including a 12-1 season in 1998, yet had never been able to sustain it. Rodriguez, who is 28-12 in three seasons, appears to have the Wildcats gaining at least a little ground on the basketball team. “Coach Rodriguez obviously talked about wanting to be the best program in the country and the University of Arizona has done that in a lot of sports,” Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne said. “We’ve had success in football but we haven’t always maintained that. I’ve always felt that with the right combination, the right support and the right infrastructure investment that needed to happen that we could be really good.” The Wildcats sure seem to be on their way.

both win out. The conference has said it will not designate a champion via a tiebreaker. The committee’s selection protocol requires conference championships be taken into the consideration when judging teams with similar resumes. “Well, first we will not determine a champion for the Big 12,” Long said. “We’ve discussed to this point, and then we will wait for the results, and then we will evaluate those teams, and that’s when the conference championship comes into effect. “We have not had the discussions about what if there’s a co-champion.” T h e S e m i n o l e s a re fourth, still in good shape to reach the playoff if the can win Saturday’s Atlantic Coast Conference championship game against No. 11 Georgia Tech. Alabama and Oregon are Nos. 1 and 2, respectively,

for the third straight week. The Crimson Tide plays 16th-ranked Missouri in the Southeastern Conference championship game, and Oregon faces Arizona in the Pac-12 title game. The Wildcats’ five-spot jump to seventh sets up a possible play-in game in Santa Clara, California, on Friday night. The Wildcats already have beaten Oregon in Eugene and could make another big jump by doing so again. Long said the committee did not factor into this week’s rankings the injury to Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett, but will after the Buckeyes face Wisconsin, ranked 13th, in the Big Ten title game on Saturday. “Certainly committee members are very interested to watch Ohio State’s performance with the backup quarterback, and again, the results on the field will dictate to us how we feel about Ohio State,

how they perform in the game, and then how, if we have to project forward, how they will compete,” he said. Boise State is the highest ranked — and only ranked — team from outside the Big Five conferences, which puts the Broncos (10-2) in position to receive a bid to one of the four New Year’s Day bowls. PROJECTING THE PL AYOFF AND NEW YEAR’S BOWLS (assuming all favored teams win this weekend. Note: Wisconsin is favored to beat Ohio State).

Michigan fires Hoke after missing bowl ‌ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The quote became symbolic of Brady Hoke’s attitude, and the promise his tenure as Michigan’s coach seemed to offer. “ T h i s i s M i c h i ga n , for God’s sakes,” he said shortly after being hired in 2011. Lately, Michigan has looked like just another program, and that’s a major reason why the Wolverines will have new leadership next season. Hoke was fired Tuesday after Michigan stumbled to a 5-7 record and missed the postseason in his fourth year at the helm. Interim athletic director Jim Hackett’s announcement ended weeks of speculation over Hoke’s future and put one of college football’s most storied programs in the market for a new coach. “This was not an easy decision,” Hackett said. “He’s really earned the respect of all, as being a values-centered coach. We need more men like him in sport today.” Hoke’s record, however, fell well short of Michigan’s standards. He went 31-20 with the Wolverines, and the team declined steadily after an 11-2 mark in his first season. Hired after the tumultuous tenure of Rich Rodriguez, Hoke was supposed to help Michigan regain its place among college football’s elite, and his familiarity with the program’s culture and tradition helped make the initial transition a successful one. But after going to the Sugar Bowl in Hoke’s first season, the Wolverines slowly slipped back into mediocrity, and they were among the Big Ten’s alsorans this year. “I believe that Brady had enough time to produce results, and they’re just not there today,” Hackett said. “Therefore I believe it’s time to make this transition.” After problems on the offensive line derailed the 2013 campaign, turnovers did Michigan in this year, all the way to the final game, when the Wolverines lost 42-28 to rival Ohio State on Saturday. Hoke’s arrival was supposed to mean a return

to smash-mouth football after three years of Rodriguez’s spread system, and while Michigan did play well defensively at times this season, the mistakeprone Wolverines weren’t much of a threat on the other side of the ball. “I feel very fortunate to have been an assistant and head coach at the University of Michigan. I will always support the university and this football program,” Hoke said in a statement. “I want to thank all of the sons that played for our teams and appreciate the commitment that our coaches and support staff made to the program every day. I will miss the relationships that I’ve been fortunate enough to make within this university and community.” Hackett replaced Dave Brandon as athletic director at the end of October. Brandon’s resignation was part of the fallout from the football team’s problems. In September, quarterback Shane Morris kept playing despite receiving what was later determined to be a concussion. The school later apologized for the “confusion” and “lack of communication” as it changed its protocol to better monitor potential injuries. A message posted on Morris’ Twitter account Tuesday wished Hoke the best: “I can truly say that I wouldn’t be the man I am right now without having played for Coach Hoke. He believed in me and every player he coached no matter what the situation.” When Brandon resigned, Mark Schlissel, the school’s president, said the athletic department was in great financial condition, but the results at the Big House have not measured up. Less than two weeks after Brandon stepped down, Schlissel expressed concerns about the relationship between athletics and academics at the university, pointing specifically at the football program. “We admit students who aren’t as qualified, and it’s probably the kids that we admit that can’t honestly,

even with lots of help, do the amount of work and the quality of work it takes to make progression from year to year,” he said then. “These past two years have gotten better, but before that, the graduation rates were terrible, with football somewhere in the 50s and 60s when our total sixyear rate at the university is somewhere near 90 percent, so that’s a challenge.” Schlissel later issued an apology to Hoke and the football program via the university’s website for not clearly stating that the situation has gotten significantly better since Hoke replaced Rodriguez. Hoke was an assistant at Michigan before turning around San Diego State and Ball State, his alma mater, as a head coach. When he left San Diego State to take over the Wolverines, he made little secret of his excitement about the job. His habit of referring to rival O h i o S ta te a s s i m p ly “Ohio” quickly caught on, and Hoke was a hit when Michigan beat the Buckeyes in his first season. The Wolverines won the Sugar Bowl and finished the 2011 season 11-2, but that was with some talented holdovers from Rodriguez’s teams. Hoke’s recruits were well regarded, but the results on the field didn’t measure up. Michigan went 8-5 in 2012 and 7-6 in 2013. The Wolverines made a major change this past offseason, firing offensive coordinator Al Borges and hiring Doug Nussmeier away from Alabama. But even with a senior quarterback in Devin Gardner, the Michigan offense was anemic at times. The first sign of trouble this season came when Michigan lost 31-0 to Notre Dame in the second game, and back-to-back home losses to Utah and Minnesota left the Wolverines looking like a team in crisis before September was even over. Fan reaction ranged from apathy to open hostility. A loss to Maryland in the team’s home finale was played before the smallest crowd at Michigan Stadium since 1995.

UAB decides to eliminate its football program JOHN ZENOR

The Associated Press‌

‌B IRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Brandon Prince transferred to UAB to help his ailing father, a single parent, while still doing what he loves most: Playing football. The redshirt freshman tight end sat out the Blazers’ surprisingly strong season after transferring from Austin Peay, only to see his hometown program

get shut down on Tuesday. “It’s like SMU,” Prince said. “We got the death penalty without any NCAA violations.” Now Prince and his teammates are left looking for new football homes and scholarships. They are eligible to play immediately if they transfer. UAB became the first major college program since Pacific in 1995 to shut down football. The university said keeping football

would cost an additional $49 million over the next five years, including $22 million in facilities and upgrades. “A s we l o o k a t t h e evolving landscape of NCAA football, we see expenses only continuing to increase,” UAB President Ray Watts said. “When considering a model that best protects the financial future and prominence of the Athletic Department, football is simply not

sustainable.” Several hundred UAB students and fans gathered on campus for the third straight day to support the program that won six games to become eligible for a bowl game for the first time in a decade. Their efforts were futile, leaving coaches and staff looking for jobs. UAB, which had a consulting firm conduct a study that included athletics over the past year, said in a news

release that it subsidizes $20 million of the athletic department’s operating budget of some $30 million annually, and said both those numbers rank fifth in Conference USA. Despite the numbers outlined by UAB, Watts insisted at an afternoon news conference that the decision “is not about financial woes. This is about planning for excellence in the future in everything we do.” Players cried and hugged

after leaving the meeting. An emotional coach Bill Clark, who just completed his first season with a 6-6 record, briefly addressed supporters, saying players, families and coaches were all hurting. “This is one of the most difficult days that I have had to endure in my personal as well as my coaching career,” Clark said in a statement. “I am absolutely heartbroken for my players and my assistant coaches.”
