After about a monthlong delay, the City Commission will decide Tuesday whether to make land-use and zoning changes that would allow for a new 250,000-square-foot shopping development in south Lawrence.

The development, dubbed KTen Crossing, is planned for the southeast corner of the south Iowa Street-South Lawrence Trafficway intersection.

But before North Carolinabased development group CITY Collett can move forward on COMMISSION the project, commissioners must agree to rezone about 60 acres at the intersection from residential to commercial. Further, the city’s comprehensive plan must be altered to reflect the commercial use.

The issue was supposed to go before commissioners Dec. 8 but was pulled from the agenda shortly before the meeting because one commissioner could not be in attendance.

Days before the Dec. 8 meeting, Chris Challis, a project manager on KTen Crossing, said to a crowd mostly comprising project supporters that the project had experienced “some downs.”

“I don’t know if we’d be here if it weren’t for the embrace that we’ve gotten from many of you,” he told the crowd. “We’ve had some downs, especially last year, and we might not have stuck it out.”

Specialized training helps officers defuse rather than escalate One quarter of Lawrence police field team have completed course “

Local law enforcement agencies are continuing to teach their field officers how to properly recognize and de-escalate a situation involving someone who may be suffering from a serious mental illness.

“This is so law enforcement makes first contact with folks going through a crisis with a better understanding and

education to talk to these people and bring them down, talk to them and bring them to areas to get help,” said Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Capt.

Eric Spurling.

The first round of the weeklong program, called Crisis Intervention Team, or CIT, training, took place in late September and early October, Spurling said. Officers from the

police officers, around one quarter of the department’s field team, have completed the training, said Sgt. David Hogue.

“We have made a commitment to have everybody trained by December of 2018,” Hogue said.

“That’s anyone who is a commissioned officer. Detectives, patrol officers, supervisors.”

Her singular goal for all is to provide access for people who are deaf.

“And I want it to be equal access — as much as I’m possibly able to,” Bates said.

Interpreting involves much more than just making words with one’s hands.

One challenge Bates takes seriously is preparation.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission voted 6-2 in August to recommend the project for approval. In 2014, though, the commission rejected a larger, 540,000-square-foot shopping center proposed by the same development group, partly because of concern it would jeopardize the city’s investment in Rock Chalk Park, which includes commercially zoned area.

Those concerns persist with the smaller KTen Crossing, according to a city report.

The report going before city commissioners Tuesday states the development could have a positive effect on sales tax revenue. But it also cited concerns that it could pull shoppers from other retail spots, including downtown Lawrence and the commercial area near Rock Chalk Park, “potentially under-serving these areas of the community.”

KTen Crossing would comprise two anchor stores, three junior anchor stores and two smaller shops, as well as six parcels that could be used for restaurants and a gas station, Challis said.

Collett has received

letters of intent from Academy Sports and Outdoors, Fresh Market, HomeGoods and Old Navy to locate at KTen Crossing, Challis said.

Designer Shoe Warehouse and Off Broadway Shoes have also expressed interest.

Under the city’s comprehensive plan, Horizon 2020, the future use of the area is currently designated as auto-related commercial, meaning it could house auto sales and repair businesses, restaurants and hotels.

Commissioners will consider changing it to regional commercial.

Challis said at the public meeting in December that a shopping center would serve as a better southern gateway to Lawrence.

“We think the transition from going from a land-use category allowing something like a truck stop to a first-class shopping center is more appropriate,” he said.

If given the go-ahead, Collett hopes to start engineering and design work this winter and break ground on the project in summer 2016. It’s estimated the shopping center would open in fall 2017.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF A HOME ON A 25-FOOT-WIDE PROPERTY AT 437 ELM ST., at left, has raised the issue of stormwater runoff in North Lawrence. With little yard to absorb storm water, the neighbors at 439 Elm St., at right, say they have been adversely affected.

Runoff, small lots lead to drainage issues

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Longtime president of the North Lawrence Improvement Association Ted Boyle describes Lawrence north of the Kansas River as a “bowl” — flat land lying between two levees.

Adding to the neighborhood’s housing density is like “throwing rocks in the pond,” he said. The stormwater, Boyle said, has nowhere to go. What’s more, extra houses adversely affect the “rural atmosphere,” something that’s coveted by Boyle and other deeply rooted North Lawrencians.

Boyle has brought up the issue at City Hall several times since the city changed land development codes in 2006 to create smaller lot sizes — meaning more houses — in parts of North Lawrence.

For at least one North Lawrence homeowner, the change in zoning has had real-life consequences: a home built on a small lot next to her rental property created flooding in her yard, resulting in a cracked foundation, she said.

Mayor Mike Amyx asked city staff in August to investigate Boyle’s concerns and come back with a plan. Scott McCullough, the city’s planning director, said one would come before the Lawrence City Commission in early 2016.

“Everything has to be pumped out of North Lawrence,” Boyle said. “So any higher density development in North Lawrence is a bad idea. In parts of Lawrence that do not have the stormwater problem that we have over here, that might be acceptable. Over here, it’s not.”

In 2005, the city paid for a drainage study of North Lawrence.

As a result of the study, commissioners in September approved the $5.9 million construction of a new stormwater pump station in North Lawrence. The existing pump station near Maple and Sixth streets was deemed too small for the area it serves, resulting in frequent local flooding in the area.

The pump is currently being constructed.

The study also investigated the effect of development in the floodplain, which completely encompasses North Lawrence.

It found that development in the watershed has replaced soil with nearly impermeable clay in some areas, increasing runoff during storms.

The study recommended not allowing development in the area that would reduce floodplain storage. The study states it may require the city purchasing small parcels of land solely to let water sit there.

“Historically, North Lawrence has been an agricultural community with low-density residential development,” the study reads. “…

While parts of North Lawrence will likely remain agricultural, the projected future land use in other areas will add more and more impervious surfaces.”

Boyle has pointed to the stormwater problems as a reason to change North Lawrence’s zoning back to 7,000-square-foot lots.

Search CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Leadership Institute at Kansas State University.

On Dec. 14, after a general consensus the board would employ an outside firm as opposed to doing the search in-house, members voted to hire McPherson & Jacobson, of Omaha, Neb., to conduct the search for the next superintendent for an amount not to exceed $25,000.

The board selected McPherson & Jacobson after reviewing proposals from four firms. In its decision, the board cited the firm’s national recruitment efforts, transparent process and commitment to involving community input. Sanburn said after the meeting in December that community involvement is key in deciding the characteristics for the candidate profile, which will be used to evaluate the applicants.

“We’ll be hearing from parents and community members and students and teachers,” she said.

“There’s a whole wide array of groups that will help inform us as to what it is we should be looking for.”

The city’s land development code was changed in 2006 because older portions of the city had plots that were smaller and did not conform to the area in which they were zoned, according to a city memo from August. The city introduced a zoning designation that was smaller than the 7,000-square-foot singlefamily residential.

In North Lawrence, there were 142 plots with the smaller designation

.

LAWRENCE

The specifics of the community input groups are not yet determined.

At the meeting today, Sanburn said, the board will provide direction to the firm regarding the makeup and number of the input groups that members of the firm will consult as they create the candidate profile.

The Lawrence board is not the only school board in the midst of such decisions.

The Lawrence district is one of at least six in the region currently looking to hire a new superintendent.

District officials have previously said that time is of the essence in getting the vacancy officially posted and advertised because some of the other districts’ application deadlines for superintendent positions are in January.

In its proposal, McPherson & Jacobson originally projected the creation of a brochure to advertise the district and the position would occur in December, but today’s gathering is the first meeting since the board selected the firm Dec. 14. McPherson & Jacobson’s original timeline projects the community input meetings to be held in mid-January, candidate interviews to begin in February and the selection of a

new superintendent to be made by the end of March.

As part of the special meeting, firm and board members will establish a more specific timeline for the search and finalize the process McPherson & Jacobson will use. The firm outlined a five-phase search process in its proposal: 1. Establish characteristics of the new superintendent and timeline for the search; determine advertising venues.

2. Hold stakeholder input meetings; develop and distribute application and advertising materials; recruit and track applicants.

3. Evaluation and reference checks of applicants; selection of applicants to be interviewed; develop interview questions.

4. Interview candidates; candidates meet with stakeholders; selection of new superintendent.

5. Establish superintendent performance objectives; evaluation of superintendent; guarantee.

The board will meet at 4 p.m. in the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

— a minimum lot area of 5,000 square feet — that already had homes built on them. There are four or five plots that could be developed.

The memo states there are 10 to 12 lots along Elm Street in North Lawrence that are smaller than the minimum 5,000 square feet but are still eligible to be developed.

At an Aug. 18 City Commission meeting, McCullough said the 14 to 17 additional homes would not have an adverse effect on stormwater management.

A newly built home at 437 Elm St. has served as an example during the

back-and-forth between the city and the North Lawrence Improvement Association.

The lot the home sits on is one of those designated as being smaller than the 5,000-squarefoot minimum but still eligible for development.

The long, tall structure is nestled between two other homes, one of which belongs to Dale and Donna Sanders.

Donna Sanders said the property just east of the new home has been in her family for about 70 years, and she rents it out.

Besides preferring the open space, Sanders said, the new home has caused

other issues. After it was built, the water “didn’t have anywhere to go,” she said, and it drained into her yard and underneath the house, cracking its rock foundation.

“I think it’s too close to build a house to another property,” Sanders said.

“It’s already done, but maybe somebody else could be saved from all of that.”

Kathy Perkins, the owner of the new rental home at 437 Elm St., said in an email that she supported the positions of the North Lawrence Improvement Association, including its stormwater management and zoning initiatives.

development of the new program.

The master’s degree is composed of two certificates, one in data interpretation and communication and the other in social media strategy, Ward said.

Students could complete just one of the certificates if they wanted, but both are required to earn the master’s degree.

Rather than deep data set analysis, for example, courses will focus on the ability to find data, work with data and communicate it, Ward said.

“We’re approaching it very broadly,” he said.

“When we were looking at creating the program we were looking at the media landscape and the business landscape, and what are the skills that are in most demand.”

KU’s current Master of Journalism program is theoretically based and geared toward students who ultimately want to work in academia, Ward said.

L awrence J ournal -W orld content-wise.

It’s envisioned that students who work full time could take the online courses and earn the degree — which requires 30 hours of coursework — over a period of two years, though someone who committed to fulltime coursework could do it in a year, Ward said.

He said it’s also hoped that students from different careers will bring data and social media problems they’re facing in their own organizations and learn skills needed to solve them.

Journalism ethics and law won’t have separate classes but rather will be integrated into each class, Ward said. KU librarians also will teach parts of classes on databases.

“The tools and the methods constantly change,” Ward said. “What we hope to do with this is to help people understand how to get a grasp on that landscape and how to adapt and change as the industry changes.”

The deadline to apply for the program is May 1, according to the School of Journalism. The first group of students will meet for in-person orientation on the Lawrence campus in the summer and begin online coursework in August.

In the city memo from August, staff points to 437 Elm St. as an example of how a development in the new residential zoning could integrate with the existing environment.

“I think the product, what the zoning standards are producing in that area are going to be viewed differently by different people,” McCullough said. “I think part of our charge is to advise the commission on what those standards produce and then review whether or not there’s a land-use harm in them.”

Kansas City crews team up to save dog Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Surveillance cameras set up to catch illegal dumping also have led to the rescue of an abandoned dog.

Kansas City codes officer Alan Ashurst had seen quite a bit since he began using hidden cameras to capture illegal dumping. But he said he hadn’t seen anything like the sight of a pit bull terrier mix being shoved out of a car, the driver pulling away and the dog chasing after the car.

Ashurst said he didn’t know whether the abandoned dog was still near the dump site.

He contacted Kansas City’s animal health and public safety office, and special investigator Eron Dawkins then also began reviewing photos. Dawkins realized the dog continued to show up in the camera’s photos from that day, so the two went back to the site and found the dog in nearby woods.

They took the dog to an animal shelter, and he has since been adopted.

Thanks to the cameras, investigators also used the license plate captured in the photos and cited the owner for four violations, each carrying up to $500 in fines. engineer, McCullough said he may take to the City Commission a recommendation that land in North Lawrence that is the site of new development should undergo a stormwater assessment before a building permit is issued.

“Our idea is to, as development comes up and as building permits are reviewed, is to pay particular attention to the stormwater impact to make sure lots aren’t impacted negatively,” McCullough said.

The training is coordinated by local agencies such as the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, Headquarters Counseling Center and the local chapter for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, among others, Spurling said.

“We have a couple of role players from outside agencies like Bert Nash, and we base our scenarios on real experiences we’ve had on calls during a mental health crisis,” Hogue said. “They don’t go easy on the officers, and the officers need to start using the skills they’ve learned.”

“We’ve got to get in that concept where they’re looking at this as approaching individuals that may be going through a mental health crisis in a little different tone than we might normally approach people,” Hogue said.

Serious mental illnesses can range anywhere from depression and suicidal behavior to post traumatic stress disorder and psychosis, Hogue said. With proper training, officers can approach each individual

with the right mindset.

“Our normal paradigm is, ‘Hey, this person is being defiant and not recognizing my authority,’ but the reality is we could be dealing with someone who has autism or a mental illness or a learning disability and is not recognizing what we’re asking them to do.”

Officers are specifically trained to handle homeless people and those struggling with post-traumatic stress, among others, Hogue said. And while each situation is different, police are basically taught to listen and defuse incidents without sacrificing their personal safety.

Many of those who have already completed the CIT training are already putting that knowledge into play on a daily basis, Hogue said.

where someone is at with a mental health crisis,” Hogue said. “When they hear someone asking questions instead of giving demands, it can change the tone of the situation.”

CIT training began in Memphis, Tenn., after a 1988 incident where a police officer shot a seriously mentally ill person, Spurling said. Now, agencies across the country are taking part in the program.

Not only could the training help officers avoid using unnecessary force at times, but it can help divert people with serious mental illnesses from going to jail and into much needed community services better suited to treat their needs, Spurling said.

124 tornadoes in 2015 for Kan. Hutchinson (ap) — The National Weather Service says its preliminary data shows Kansas had 124 confirmed tornadoes in 2015 — 83 more than in 2014.

The Hutchinson News reports the number of tornadoes last year tied for the fourth highest number since 1990.

Eric Metzger, a meteorologist in Wichita, says moisture from a strong El Niño was a possible factor in 2015’s higher number of tornadoes.

Metzger said although 124 tornadoes are above normal, Kansas experiences between 70 and 110 tornadoes every year.

The 2015 preliminary data is subject to changes, and official statistics will be released in six or eight months.

serious mental illnesses, a possible jail expansion and creation of a crisis center and mental health court could offer even more help, Spurling said.

“Our end goal is hopefully diverting these folks so they don’t need to come through jail or through the booking process,” he said.

“Hopefully we can get them to the crisis center to get them through this rough patch and get them on to living the rest of their lives.”

CIT training will be held twice a year for both 2016 and 2017, Hogue said. The next round of training is scheduled for this February.

Husband should visit art class where wife models Dear Annie: My wife and I are recently married, and we moved to a new town a year ago. Our neighbor is an art professor at a community college. He is a kind gentleman, and we spend a fair amount of time together, having each other over for dinners, cookouts, etc.

Last summer, he asked my wife to work as a model for two of his drawing classes. He has trouble finding models during the day, and she is a homemaker. She agreed. Well, she recently brought home one of the professor’s sketches from class and I was shocked to see that she posed in the nude. She assumed I knew what kind of models work for college art classes, but I was really upset. She said she enjoys the work and would like to keep doing it.

Now I find myself uncomfortable when the three of us are together, knowing that he sees her naked on a regular basis.

If the class were taught by a stranger, I would have less of a problem with it. He has already asked her back for next semester, and I’d like her to say no. She says I am being unreasonably jealous. Is she right? — The Husband Dear Husband: Art class models are not objects of sexual de-

‘Bachelor’ is back for 20th season As reality series live long past their expiration dates, they need more razzle-dazzle to keep viewers engaged. Or distract them from the sense that they’ve seen this all before. So the 20th helping of “The Bachelor” (7 p.m., ABC) won’t just follow Ben Higgins and the bevy of 28 beautiful women assigned to woo him.

It will feature contrived stunts devised by Ice Cube and Kevin Hart, a challenge issued by members of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team, a performance by Terry Fator and side trips to Las Vegas and Mexico City. Throw in a chance to bring home a Broyhill sectional couch and you’ve got an episode of “Let’s Make a Deal”!

A recap follows on “Bachelor Live” (9 p.m., ABC).

The TV scheduling gods have ordained a head-to-head competition between “Supergirl” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG), “Superstore” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-14) and “Superhuman” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG).

Temporary “House” co-star Kal Penn hosts “Superhuman,” a game show-like exhibition of 12 individuals with rare talents and abilities. One contestant can watch numbers flash rapidly before him and add them up in seconds. Another memorizes the names of the entire studio audience in a flash. It’s all rather remarkable. For those less gifted, boxer Mike Tyson, actress Mary Lynn Rajskub and neurosurgeon Dr. Rahul Jandial provide a peanut gallery of quips, commentary and insight.

Featuring a title that promises more and less than it delivers, the “Independent Lens” documentary “Chuck Norris vs.

Communism” (9 p.m., PBS, TVPG, check local listings) recalls the power of videotape to challenge the Romanian communist regime in the 1980s. Filled with interviews and re-enactments, “Chuck” asks viewers to imagine a dictatorship that censored or banned all foreign media and limited television to two hours a day of state-sponsored propaganda that was completely at odds with the audience’s day-today reality of squalid apartment blocks, dreary prospects and empty stores.

Tonight’s other highlights

Astra’s kidnapping spirals

out of control on “Supergirl” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG).

The gang taunts Jonah because they think he resembles a store mannequin on “Superstore” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

For the record, this is the official “premiere” of this series, which has been repeatedly airing for more than a month.

“Paris Terror Attack: Charlie Hebdo” (7 p.m., Smithsonian) recalls the Jan. 7, 2015, assault on the offices of an irreverent satirical magazine.

sire. They are simply a way to help students draw the human form.

We doubt the professor thinks about your wife in any way other than as a friend and colleague. Here’s our recommendation: Attend the class a few times to see exactly what’s going on. If you still feel that the professor or the students have a prurient interest in your wife, or if you believe your wife is doing this because she wants to be seductive, you should ask her to stop for the health of your marriage.

Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Monday, January 4, 2016

EDITORIALS

Audit access Officials are right to spell out additional details about accessing financial records for agencies that receive city funds.

C

ity officials say they don’t expect to routinely delve into the financial records of agencies and organizations that receive city funds, but it’s still a good idea to make sure the city has adequate access to those records when the need arises.

At their Dec. 15 meeting, Lawrence city commissioners approved some new language for the agreement signed by social service agencies, economic development organizations and vendors that receive city funds. Such agreements are signed each year by organizations like the Lawrence Chamber, Lawrence Arts Center, Big Brothers Big Sisters and Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center.

The new language makes it clear that those agencies must “promptly” provide their financial records upon request by the city auditor or any authorized city representative. It also specifically requires those organizations to retain their financial records and any other records related to city funding for at least three years.

The city auditor suggested the changes after working on a performance audit requested by the city for the Lawrence Community Shelter. Although the shelter supplied all the needed information, the auditor realized that his right to access that information wasn’t clearly spelled out in the agreement.

A couple of agencies contacted by the Journal-World said they were happy to comply with the new provision and that they welcomed that kind of oversight when needed. That’s the right attitude.

A city request to access an agency’s financial records is likely to remain rare, but when it occurs, it should be granted.

The changes to the agency agreement are both reasonable and desirable.

When public money is being used, that kind of transparency is essential.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 4, 1916: “Commissioner Cleland made the suggestion at the meeting of years the city commission today that ago the city should care for the famiIN 1916 lies of men who are confined in the city jail, and outlined a plan by which it could be done. Mr. Cleland proposed that the city furnish to the families of prisoners supplies equal to the value of their work on the rock pile, in cases where the family is in need of help when the husband is in jail.

No payment is to be made in money, but the supplies are to be taken direct to the families.

No action was taken upon Mr. Cleland’s suggestion.”

Trump-Putin rhetoric is depressing sign Nothing better symbolizes the depressing foreign policy year of 2015 than the bromance between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

“Bromance,” in case you aren’t up on the latest lingo, means a close but nonsexual relationship between two men. Trump has been fulsome in his praise for Putin. He refers to the Russian leader as “a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond” that they “would get along very well” as leaders.

For his part, Putin calls Trump “brilliant” and “an outstanding and talented personality.”

What draws these two men into a mutual admiration society, and what does this tell us about the state of the world?

For starters, there’s style — and ego. Putin’s show of macho aggressiveness — wrestling, shooting wild animals, swimming bare-chested — no doubt delights the Donald, who constantly extols “strong” men and sees himself as the prime example. The two men revel in using vulgarities about their opponents.

Each man presents himself as the only one who can save his nation. Each denounces any critics, especially in the media. Of course, Putin has more leeway to shut them up. On his watch, the Kremlin seized control of all major media outlets in Russia, while around two dozen Russian journalists were murdered; leading Russian opposition figures have been shot dead or sent to prison.

That Russian repression doesn’t bother Trump, who blithely insists there’s no proof Putin is a killer. For

Indeed, what is most striking about the Trump-Putin bromance, is Trump’s willful blindness. …

He watches Putin operate without any institutional checks or balances and probably wishes he could be just like him.” his part, the Donald says he “hates” some journalists, although he “would never kill them.” However, he has egged on supporters who were beating up a protester at a rally.

But let’s get to the heart of the matter, the area where their similarities are most disturbing. Both men are masters at whipping up xenophobic nationalism based on fear.

Putin uses this tactic to distract domestic attention from his economic failures.

Oil prices are sinking in an economy still shamefully dependent on energy exports and massive state corruption continues unchallenged. What better way to distract his public than to fan its fear of Islamist terrorism — and blame that terrorism on the United States?

Putin has bigger goals in

mind, however, than demagoguery, goals that seem to elude The Donald in his eagerness to identify with a Russian “winner.” The Russian president senses the fears besetting Western democracies, as technology and globalization gobble up more and more jobs that pay a middle-class salary. He watches Western publics losing faith in their leaders and in liberal democratic institutions.

The Russian leader sees his chance to promote an alternative model to the system of liberal democracy championed by the United States — an ideology of managed democracy where real power rests in the hands of an authoritarian leader. Of course, he would be the leader of this new global movement. Toward that end, Putin is funding right-wing parties in Europe that are gaining traction by stoking fears of Muslim immigration — parties with an authoritarian bent similar to his.

It’s not clear whether Trump fully agrees with Putin’s governing philosophy.

Yet the Donald’s suggestion that we “let Russia … get rid of (the Islamic State)” suggests how little he understands his new pal.

In Syria, Putin is less interested in fighting the Islamic State than he is in replacing America as the lead power in the region. Toward that end, he seeks to cement President Bashar Assad in place, even if that means the civil war and the refugee flows will continue. Russia planes are hardly bombing the Islamic State at all.

Indeed, what is most striking about the Trump-Putin

bromance, is Trump’s willful blindness. The Donald has succumbed to the temptations that breed political “strongmen” in so much of the world in times of chaos. He watches Putin operate without any institutional checks or balances and probably wishes he could be just like him.

Meantime, Putin smells a compatriot, someone who scorns the niceties of democratic behavior in favor of whipping up the masses. Both men know exactly whom to scapegoat for every problem: immigrants, terrorists and minorities of color.

Fortunately, there is a crucial difference between Putin and Trump. The latter lives in a country where democratic institutions and a free press still function, despite their problems. I don’t believe Trump will get the GOP nomination, or if he does, that the voters will choose him. In the unlikely event he should reach the White House, I still believe America’s democratic institutions would be strong enough to check his authoritarian tendencies.

At least, I hope.

However, Trump’s bromance with Putin should serve as a warning that America is not immune to the political turbulence felt elsewhere. Baby boomers born since 1945 have come to take liberal democracy too much for granted, even as ugly partisan politics shakes it. If Americans grow careless about defending their democracy, Putinism could happen here.

Saudis cut ties to Iran as crisis intensifies Five reasons turmoil is growing between two Mideast powers Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

The bitter faceoff between Iran and Saudi Arabia over the Saudis’ execution of an Iranian-aligned cleric is the latest flash point in a long-simmering conflict between two Middle East powers and it threatens to add more turmoil to an already unstable region.

Saudi Arabia announced Sunday that it was severing ties with Iran, hours after Iranian protesters set fires in the Saudi embassy

compound in Tehran to protest the execution the day before of a Shiite cleric, Sheik Nimr al-Nimr.

At the root of their rivalry is Islam’s centuries-old schism between Sunni Muslims, who make up the majority in the oil-rich Saudi Kingdom, and Shiites who dominate Iran.

Sunni-dominated Saudi Arabia is home to Islam’s holiest city of Mecca where millions of faithful journey for the annual Hajj.

Iran, the world’s leading Shiite powerhouse, is governed by radical clerics.

Both nations are vying to extend their influence across the volatile Middle East.

Here are five sources of new collisions between the two:

The Saudis fear Iran will use the assets and new business opportunities to support Shiite rebel groups in the region.

LES ZAITZ, THE OREGONIAN VIA AP

Sheriff says Rick Jervis group wants USA TODAY to ‘spark a movement’ The Oregon sheriff whose REBECCA BOONE, AP to depose county is at the heart of an antigovernment government call-to-arms says the mon Bundy, son of Nevada ranchgroup occupying a national wildlife refuge came to town under false pretenses.

Sheriff David Ward said on Sunday that protesters came to Harney County, in southeastern Oregon, “claiming to be part of militia groups supporting local ranchers.” In reality, he said, “these men had alternative motives to attempt to overthrow the county and federal government in hopes to spark a movement across the United States.”

In a statement Sunday, Ward said he was working with local and federal authorities to resolve the situation.

The protest, called to support two Oregon ranchers facing jail time for arson, escalated Saturday into an armed takeover of a federal wildlife building. The protest and takeover are being led by Am-

er Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a previous standoff with the government over grazing rights. Two of the younger Bundy’s brothers are also involved.

The brothers are calling on anti-government militia members from all over the country to join the seizure of the headquarters building of the remote Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, about 300 miles southeast of Portland.

About two dozen people are occupying the refuge building, The Oregonian reported.

“We can gather here and we can unite. ... Our intent is to assist the people of Harney County in claiming their rights,” Ammon Bundy said at the refuge Sunday.

One protester said Sunday that the group intended to keep the protest peaceful. Maureen Peltier, a Washington Army National

Ryan Bundy, one of the protesters occupying a wildlife refuge near Burns, Ore., stands outside the refuge Sunday.

Earlier, protesters marched through Burns.

Guard staff sergeant, wrote on Facebook that the group had brought children to the refuge.

“There is absolutely no armed standoff,” she wrote. “They want us to know: They are simply occupying land and a building owned by ‘We The People.’ ” The occupation came after about 300 people marched through Burns, Ore., to protest the prosecution of Harney County ranchers, Dwight Hammond Jr., 73, and son, Steven Hammond, 46, who are to report to prison Monday, The Oregonian reported. The pair said they lit fires in 2001 and 2006 to fight invasive plants and to protect their property from wildfires. They were convicted of arson three years ago and served time — the father three months, the son one year.

A judge ruled their terms were too short and ordered them back to prison for about four years each. Dwight Hammond said he and his son plan to peacefully report to prison Monday.

President Obama to begin huge gun control campaign Calls issue ‘one piece of unfinished business’ Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President Obama meets with his attorney general Monday to discuss his options for regulating guns, signaling that gun violence will be a top priority in the new year.

Calling the issue of gun violence “one piece of unfinished business” as he enters the last full year of his presidency, Obama said he gets too many letters “to

sit around and do nothing.” But anything Obama does by executive action is likely to be undone if a Republican moves into the White House in 2017.

The gun issue may dominate the White House agenda in the run-up to Obama’s last State of the Union Address next week.

Obama will participate in a televised town hall-style event Thursday on CNN called Guns in America. On Friday, he’ll mark the fifth anniversary of the 2011 Tucson shooting that killed six and wounded Gabrielle Giffords, who has left Congress to found a gun control lobbying group that met with Obama last month.

President Obama walks with daughter Malia on Sunday.

Obama delivers his State of the Union Address to Congress on Jan. 12, a venue traditionally used to prod legislation from Congress and announce actions from the executive branch.

“The president has made clear the most impactful way to address the crisis of gun violence ... is for Congress to pass some common sense gun safety measures,” White House deputy press secretary Eric Schultz said. “But the president has also said he’s fully aware of the unfortunate political realities in this Congress. That is why he has asked his team to scrub existing legal authorities to see if there’s any additional action we can take administratively.”

The White House hasn’t said what options the president is considering, but some of the most-discussed possibilities are likely to raise legal issues. The

president can’t rewrite gun-control legislation, but he can direct Attorney General Loretta Lynch to interpret and enforce those laws more aggressively.

As Obama returned from a two-week vacation in Hawaii on Sunday, GOP presidential hopefuls were condemning the as-yetannounced actions as illegal.

“To use executive powers he doesn’t have is a pattern that is quite dangerous,” ex-Florida governor Jeb Bush said on Fox News Sunday. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Obama was acting like a “dictator” and said he would undo any executive actions not overturned by the courts.

A year of terrorism has changed Paris Maya Vidon

Special for USA TODAY

PARIS It’s a new year in Paris, and the streets seem different.

They are emptier, maybe a tad more somber than they were before Jan, 7, 2015, when a terror attack against editors of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo kicked off a year that none of us will ever forget.

For weeks, I had been feeling the change. I began to pay more attention to the general mood in the city in the run-up to the toasts for 2016, trying to define what’s different. In December, the city was adorned with fairy lights and decorations as usual.

The Champs-Élysées hosted its traditional Christmas market, the Place de la Concorde its giant Ferris wheel. In shopping malls and department stores, extravagant Christmas trees stood tall.

Once again, for the festive season, “The City of Light” did itself honor. But it’s a facade I found.

In my crowded, touristy neighborhood, the Marais, it’s actually possible these days to walk or bike along the streets without bumping into anyone.

There are empty seats at my neighborhood bistros. And when I take my Sunday walk, people I

ISRAEL INDICTS 2 MEN IN DEATH OF TODDLER Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

Rick Jervis USA TODAY

Ammon Bundy, the leader of armed protesters who took over a federal building in a remote Oregon wildlife refuge this weekend, is no stranger to controversy.

His father, Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy, 69, was embroiled in a two-decade legal dispute with the federal government over unpaid grazing fees on federally owned land in Nevada.

Cliven Bundy’s dispute led to a standoff with federal agents two years ago that, at least for a while, made him the face of the antigovernment militia movement.

Cliven Bundy claimed he did not recognize orders from federal agents to keep his cattle off land that belonged, in his view, to the “sovereign state of Nevada.” The Bureau of Land Management began rounding up and penning Bundy’s trespassing cattle. The dispute culminated in April 2014 when armed people and militia members flocked to the Bundy ranch to protest.

The standoff was defused by local law enforcement officials, and

except those from the newest collection. This is France — the law dictates the dates of sales.

Yet it seems, in the wake of terror attacks and their negative impact on our economy, discounts abound now, secret ones, in an attempt to skirt the law.

This all started a year ago, when two radical Muslim brothers shot up an editorial meeting at Charlie Hebdo, killing 11 people — and later a police officer — because the magazine’s cartoons had poked fun at the prophet

coordinated terror strikes on Black Friday, Nov. 13, would leave 130 dead and a nation shattered.

We couldn’t imagine that our children would be asked by their teachers to vary their routes to school for their safety, or that one of their hall monitors would be slaughtered on Nov. 13, or that interns at trauma hospitals would themselves be traumatized by seeing so many injured brought in that terrible Friday night.

As we begin a new year, we Parisians are different, full of grief over the year behind us and feeling there is little to celebrate what lies ahead.

We are entering 2016 in a changed landscape. We have new and tight security measures — we even canceled the fireworks on the Champs-Élysées on New Year’s Eve. And we look at each other differently, because we know terrorists are among us.

Recently, an acquaintance recounted to me how a man was arguing with another man on the Metro at rush hour and was clearly doing so because the other man looked to be a Muslim.

The argument went on and the tone became aggressive. Finally, a tiny woman stood up and said: “It’s enough, stop this now!”

I wish we could.

federal agents have yet to act to collect the more than $1 million in outstanding grazing fees owed by the elder Bundy.

Cliven Bundy was lionized by conservative politicians and talk hosts but later condemned for racial remarks made by the rancher, including suggesting that African Americans may have been better off “as slaves, picking cotton and having a family,” rather than living on “government subsidy.”

In the current dispute, the two Oregon ranchers — Dwight Hammond Jr., and his son Steven Hammond — whose pending arrest sparked the protests, have distanced themselves from the Bundys, according to CBS News.

“Neither Ammon Bundy nor anyone within his group/organization speak for the Hammond family,” their lawyer, W. Alan Schroeder, wrote to Harney County, Ore., Sheriff David Ward, CBS reported.

Two Jewish extremists were indicted Sunday in Israel for the July firebombing deaths of a Palestinian toddler and his parents after a lengthy investigation that angered Palestinians and fueled a deadly series of stabbings across Israel and the West Bank.

The indictment named Amiram Ben-Ulial, 21, a West Bank settler, as the main suspect in the firebombing. A minor was charged as an accessory. Yinon Reuveni, 20, and another minor were charged for other violence against Palestinians.

All four were charged with belonging to a terrorist organization, the Associated Press reported.

The July 31 arson attack in the West Bank village of Duma killed 18-month-old Ali Dawabsheh, while his mother, Riham, and father, Saad, later died of their wounds. Ali’s 4-year-old brother Ahmad survived with severe injuries.

At least one Molotov cocktail was thrown through an open window of the Duma home while the family was sleeping, according to Agence France-Presse.

The firebombing was condemned across Israel, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there would be “zero tolerance” for what he described as terrorist acts by Jewish settlers.

Nasar Dawabsheh, brother of the father who was killed, told Reuters that he hoped the defendants were punished, but he was

“We have no trust in the Israeli judiciary. They would not have launched an investigation were it not for the international pressure on them,” he said.

Israel’s Shin Bet security service said the suspects admitted to carrying out the attack, saying it was in retaliation for the killing of an Israeli a month earlier, according to the AP. But families of the accused said confessions were extracted in what amounted to torture.

Ben-Ulial was described as part of an extremist group of West Bank Jewish settlers known as the “hilltop youth,” a leaderless group of young people who set up unauthorized outposts, usually

clusters of trailers, on West Bank hilltops — land the Palestinians claim for their hoped-for state, the AP said.

Palestinian attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers over the past three and a half months have killed 21 Israelis, mostly in stabbings, shootings and car-ramming attacks, the Associated Press reported.

That figure does not include two Israelis killed Friday by an Arab man in a shooting attack on a Tel Aviv restaurant, as the motive for that attack hasn’t officially been determined yet.

leading a local military coalition aimed at defeating Shiite-dominated Houthi rebels threatening to unseat the government. The Houthis have received direct military aid from Iran.

SYRIA

Iran is backing Syrian President Bashar Assad’s embattled regime in his nearly 5-year-old civil war by providing financing and fighters from Hezbollah, an Iranianbacked Shiite militant group based in Lebanon.

Saudi Arabia, along with the United States and Turkey, is backing Sunni rebel groups opposed to Assad.

The U.S. is concerned that some of those groups are too extreme and might team up with

the Islamic State, the Sunni radical group that a U.S.-led coalition is trying to repel from Syria and Iraq.

IRAQ

Although the population is mostly Shiite, Iraq had been ruled for decades by Saddam Hussein and his Sunni minority until the U.S.led invasion in 2003 ousted Saddam’s regime.

The current, predominantly Shiite government has been heavily influenced by Iran, which has provided support for powerful Shiite militias in Iraq.

Saudi Arabia is wary of the Iraqi government and is sympathetic to Sunnis who feel alienated by the government.

Some of those Sunni residents are backing the Islamic State militant group.

Saudi Arabia said Sunday that it was severing ties with Iran.

OIL

As the leading global exporter of oil, Saudi Arabia has refused to cut production in the face of plummeting oil prices to defend its market share. As a result, the world is now awash in cheap oil.

The drop in prices already has forced the kingdom to slash its government budget.

The glut may soon worsen — and the value of Saudi Arabia’s virtually sole source of revenue further diminish — once sanctions against rival Iran are eased under the nuclear weapons deal.

Iran, estimated to have the fourth-largest oil reserves on the planet, is ready to export 500,000 barrels a day once it is given access to the world market. That figure could grow as Iran rehabilitates its aging oil industry infrastructure.

Bernie Sanders raises $33M Is within $4M of Clinton’s haul

PATRICK T. FALLON, BLOOMBERG

Carson defends shake-up.

Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

Bernie Sanders raised more than $33 million during the last three months of 2015 to underwrite his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, his campaign announced Saturday.

His haul puts him within $4 million of the $37 million raised by Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton during the same period.

In all, the Vermont senator has raised nearly $73 million for his White House battle, campaign officials said.

Aides said more than 1 million donors made more than 2.5 million contributions to Sanders’ campaign, surpassing President BLOOMBERG Obama’s previSanders ous record for individual contributions.

(Obama had collected 2.2 million contributions at this stage in his re-election campaign.)

“This people-powered campaign is revolutionizing American politics,” Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager, said in a statement. “What we are showing is that we can run a strong national campaign without a super PAC and without depending on millionaires and billionaires for their support.”

Campaign aides said the average donation during the Octoberto-December fundraising quarter was $27.16. Sanders appears to be spending more heavily as the first round of voting nears. His campaign said he ended December with $28.4 million in available cash out of the nearly $73 million raised.

Clinton, who collected $112 million in 2015 for her nomination battle, had a bigger cash balance at year’s end — nearly $38 million, according to figures her campaign released Friday.

Two of the Republicans seeking the presidency have released their fundraising totals. Ben Carson and Sen. Ted Cruz raised $23 million and $20 million, respectively, in the last quarter.

Cruz’s haul is a big jump from the $12.2 million he raised during the third quarter of the year and comes as he has emerged as a serious rival to Republican frontrunner Donald Trump in Iowa.

Candidates have until Jan. 31, the eve of the Iowa caucuses, to disclose fundraising details.

Less than 90 minutes after officials drew Saturday’s winning numbers eligible for the Powerball’s 12th-largest jackpot, they discovered that no one had won the $340 million prize.

That means Wednesday’s pot will be $400 million, officials of the multistate lottery said early Sunday on the lottery’s website.

That would make a winning jackpot the largest since Sept. 18, 2013, when a South Carolina winner matched all the numbers to claim a $399.4 million prize, the sixth largest in Powerball history.

The lump-sum cash prize for Wednesday’s estimated $400 million jackpot would be $244.8 million.

Ex-Florida governor Jeb Bush gets the crowd smiling at Chico’s restaurant on Dec. 28 in Hialeah, Fla. On news shows Sunday, he touted his viability as an alternative to Trump.

You could say she caused the migration,” Trump said. “The entire world, it’s a different place.

During Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s term, she’s done a horrible job.”

At the same time, the New York billionaire brushed off the significance of a terrorist recruiting video by the organization al-Shabaab that cites his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States. “What am I going to do? I have to say what I have to say,” Trump said. “There’s a problem.

We have to find out what is the problem. And we have to solve that problem.”

What unified the Republican candidates Sunday was President Obama’s effort to control the spread of guns, possibly by executive action rather than going through Congress.

Trump blamed the problem of mass shootings on “sickos” and suggested building institutions to house them. Former Florida governor Jeb Bush called the use of executive orders “quite dangerous.” New

Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, hoping to surge in New Hampshire, called Obama a “petulant child” who’s acting “as if he is a king, as if he is a dictator.”

With most of the attention focused on front-runners Clinton, Trump and Cruz, the Texas senator leading the GOP pack in Iowa, most of the other candidates were forced on the defensive about their chances to survive the early contests.

Bush, Christie, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky all appeared on Sunday news shows to tout their continued viability as alternatives to Trump and Cruz. Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO, took on Cruz directly, while Marco Rubio — perhaps the most likely consensus candidate — stayed off the airwaves to focus on New Hampshire.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson went on ABC’s This Week to defend his recent staff shake-up, viewed as a sign his campaign may be in trouble at the worst possible moment.

Carson brought in a new campaign manager, retired Army general Bob Dees, late last month, leading to the exodus of former campaign manager Barry Bennett and two other top aides. He praised those who left but said, “We’re in a different ballgame, and we need the ability to execute and not just to have good ideas.”

Costumed participants perform during La Vijanera carnival in the small village of Silio, Spain. The celebration, occurring on the first Sunday of the year, symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and paves the way for the upcoming year.

For a record eighth straight year, tornadoes and other severe thunderstorms likely caused at least $10 billion in property damage in the United States, according to an analysis by Munich Re, the world’s largest reinsurance firm.

The deadly tornadoes in December damaged or destroyed thousands of homes and businesses across the South, which should push the total over the $10 billion mark for 2015.

The USA had a total of $15 billion in insured losses in 2015, which is half of the recent average of $30 billion per year. The quiet hurricane season helped suppress the damage total. Hurricanes are typically the main contributors to property damage. — Doyle Rice

6 POTENTIAL SURPRISES FOR INVESTORS THIS YEAR Most expect 2016 to be slow-growing — unless fate intervenes

The risk, he says, is not “modest inflation, which would be welcome, but accelerating inflation that causes more turmoil in an already tumultuous fixed-income world.”

If bond yields surge and credit conditions worsen, it could cut off the recovery, as in the past “meaningfully higher rates and rising credit spreads generated recessions,” he says.

Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Wall Street has laid out its base case for stocks in 2016. But what could go wrong?

Tobias Levkovich, chief U.S. equity strategist at Citigroup, asked himself that question and came up with six things that could upend the expected outlook.

“Considering what could go wrong is a useful exercise,” Levkovich wrote in a report titled “Six Unexpected Possibilities for 2016.”

First, the Citigroup stock guru lays out what Wall Street expects to happen, or the so-called “base case.” Most investors expect another year of slow economic growth, a lack of inflation pressures, a stronger dollar and continued volatility in the “illiquid” high-yield corporate bond market. Wall Street also expects prices of commodities, such as oil, to stay low amid sluggish global demand. Investors also expect the Federal Reserve to go slow with “gradual” rate hikes.

Levkovich lays out six potential surprises:

1Despite the S&P 500 tripling RENEWED INFATUATION WITH U.S. STOCKS

since its March 2009 lows, there’s been a dearth of money flows to domestic U.S. stock funds in recent years. “Yet should 2016 be the year in which a rotation back toward stocks occurs, stock valuations could soar,” Levkovich says.

Stock valuations are above histocial averages at the moment, although they are far from irrationally exuberant.

5“It is always dangerous to say HEALTH CARE PRICE CONTROLS

SPENCER PLATT, GETTY IMAGES

Traders work at the New York Stock Exchange on Dec. 21. A leap in stocks could have a domino effect on foreign investors.

“Should 2016 be the year in which a rotation back toward stocks occurs, stock valuations could soar.”

Tobias Levkovich, chief U.S. equity strategist at Citigroup

Possible catalysts? Better trends out of hard-hit emerging markets or progress on improving the USA’s fiscal health. And if foreign investors see U.S. stocks take off in 2016, “U.S. equities would likely draw in foreign investors as well, and that could lead to a stronger stock market even in the face of an appreciating dollar (which is what occurred in the late 1990s), most likely for larger caps.”

2 “One of the most widely held views ... is the dollar’s likely A WEAKER DOLLAR

strengthening due to expected higher interest rates in the U.S.,” Levkovich wrote. “Hence, any change to that view generates a wholly different outcome than current positioning would imply.”

3A weaker dollar would help commodities and likely push COMMODITIES REBOUND

prices higher at a time when most investors have “very limited exposure to the resource industries,” Levkovich wrote.

As a result, “any price improvement for corn, oil and metals could very well drive investors back into energy, industrials and materials … and sharp rallies could ensue.”

4Deflation is the catchword in today’s world of excess labor supINFLATION COMEBACK

ply. And big wage gains have been the exception, not the rule. But Levkovich says labor costs account for more than 60% of business expense and “compensation patterns are starting to increase once again.”

‘never’ since some unexpected developments can occur,” Levkovich says. “A push for some form of price controls on health care costs, while seemingly outrageous or even un-American, could still occur.”

He says the U.S. did institute price controls in 1971 under President Nixon, and the country saw windfall profit taxes on energy companies in 1980 under President Carter.

“The notion that an industry can be targeted is not out of whack, especially if profound populism on both sides of the aisle comes together,” he says.

“While we are not forecasting legislation to evolve, there is a negative surprise if even discussions about it come about.”

6 “There is an almost Pavlovian response when people hear GEOPOLITICAL SCARES

the word geopolitics,” says Levkovich. While he says “predicting the outbreak of major hostilities in any flash point is not at all easy, there are enough glowing embers out there to not consider some fires potentially getting out of hand.”

The result would typically be a surge in risk premiums and lower price-to-earnings ratios for stocks, plus some curbing of earnings estimates.

Happy 2016, Democrats — courtesy of Trump Michael Wolff

@MichaelWolffNYC Michael@burnrate.com USA TODAY

Everything depends on what happens to Donald Trump in 2016.

That’s a weird electoral predicament in which one outcome might result in such a binary condition: If he loses, political life as we know it chugs on; if he wins — at this point, a somewhat more likely scenario then him losing — then OMG. That existential possibility is, of course, exactly what has fueled Trump’s rise: For voters, it’s an opportunity to vote against business as usual; for the media, it’s a stay-tuned you-won’t-believe-it outcome.

2015 might seem to have been the year of Trump, but that presupposes his reasonable and timely fall prior to the early primaries, hence re-establishing business as usual — and turning 2016 back to serious business. If, however, the reasonable and timely do not prevail, as they MEDIA

Donald Trump has a penchant for saying the unsayable. How far it takes him in this year’s GOP race is anyone’s guess.

have yet to do, 2015 will be mere prelude, and it’s 2016 that will really be the year of Trump in ways so preposterous and breathtaking such that the future in the near and medium term will be wholly upset, and we’ll find ourselves living in a different place and time altogether.

Still, yes, the other option, Trump disappearing, remains operative. Running a cheapskate campaign and poor ground game in Iowa — the hope and assumption of the liberal press — he not only doesn’t win, but he’s third, after Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio (late surge), throwing a wet blanket over New Hampshire and

helping create a sudden groundswell for establishment types, putting Jeb Bush and Chris Christie back in business.

But the alternative to Trump disappearing is him not disappearing, and — putting aside whether or not he gets the nomination — a continuing raucous, attention-grabbing, disruptive, compelling, oxygen-hogging, presence that entirely overshadows the Republican race, whoever is nominated. That is, if he hasn’t already made Hillary Clinton the president, a brawling and constantly re-energized and everlarger-than-life Trump heading into the spring will have so discombobulated the Republican brand and message, if it hasn’t already, that it’s no contest. If it ever was.

And that’s if he doesn’t cinch it in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, where — the liberal press and appalled conservatives aside (The New York Times’ conservative columnist, Ross Douthat, recently declaring, on the basis of nothing whatsoever that Trump won’t and can’t win) — the odds favor him more than anybody else. In fact, here we are, on the cusp of the unimaginable, as close as an American presidential race has ever come to the loo-

The question is whether Hillary Clinton will seize an extraordinary opportunity to embrace large numbers of chastened Republicans, breaking the ideological logjam in America. ny and absurd.

If we do reach such a fantastic moment of triumphant Trumpism, it is certainly possible that anti-Trump forces in the party more or less coalesce into some version of a brokered-stolen convention, nominating some less toxic, more wholesome figure — say, Paul Ryan. Then Trump, enraged and, I would assume, delighted at the same time, runs a third-party campaign that might add a fixed Trump media category to American political life. Indeed, it might be Trump’s ideal outcome, to establish himself as permanent spoiler and spectacle

and phenomenon without actually ever having to go to work.

But it could also turn out, as many suspect, that there really isn’t a Republican middle and Republican establishment anymore.

Karl Rove cannot rush in.

Therefore, Trump is it. Really.

Really! The 2016 Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

The wild card in a Trump campaign is what he’ll actually say.

It’s the power of language, curiously heretofore all but dead in politics. How much more disruptive can this penchant to say the politically unsayable get in 2016?

Hence, the opportunity for the Democrats is even more epochal than the rise of Trump himself.

Or, really, it’s a Clinton opportunity and question. Does Hillary run even more left because why not, the election is assured? Or does she seize the most extraordinary opportunity in American politics in several generations and embrace a center that includes large numbers of chastened Republicans, breaking the ideological logjam in American public life?

Possibly, in 2016 — all because of Donald Trump — reason, balance and collegiality are restored.

Happy New Year.

TRAVEL

BEST NEW AIRPORT AMENITIES IN 2015 Harriet Baskas

Special for USA TODAY

As the recent 2015 J.D. Power North America Airport Satisfaction Study reveals, travelers are feeling better about the airport experience.

“It’s no longer just about getting travelers from Point A to Point B as efficiently as possible; it’s about making the airport experience enjoyable,” Rick Garlick, global travel and hospitality practice lead at J.D. Power, said of this year’s study, which showed a big uptick in consumer satisfaction.

What makes an airport enjoyable, of course, is in the eye — and stress level — of the passenger, but it’s clear that many airports are getting much better at being places where travelers really don’t mind spending time.

The check-in, security checkpoint and baggage claim experiences have something to do with it, but frequent travelers know that the amenities available at airports are a big piece of the puzzle. Here are some of the passenger-friendly advances at U.S. airports in 2015.

DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

TAMING TRANSPORTATION

During 2015, a wave of airports around the country, including those in Chicago, Las Vegas, Louisville, Sacramento, San Diego and Washington, D.C., (both DCA and IAD) hammered out deals with ride-hailing services such as Uber/UberX, Lyft, Sidecar and Wingz to legally pick up and drop off passengers at the terminals. Look for that trend to continue in 2016.

HELPING MOMS

During 2015 many airports made space for properly equipped lactation stations for nursing mothers.

Chicago O’Hare International Airport now has three Mother’s Rooms, while lactation stations and nursing rooms have been added at MinneapolisSt. Paul International Airport, Milwaukee’s General Mitchell International Airport, Jacksonville International, Spokane International, Newark Liberty, JFK, LaGuardia, Pittsburgh International, Boise Airport and others.

PHOENIX SKY HARBOR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Travelers can support the USO by donating spare change at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

SOOTHING STRESS, BOOSTING HEALTH

More airports are adding pet therapy programs to help fliers deal with the stress of traveling.

In September, Sacramento International Airport introduced the Boarding Area Relaxation Corps, (B.A.R.C.), which welcomes pet therapy dogs and their handlers to the airport twice a week, while in October, Denver International Airport introduced the Canine Airport Therapy Squad, referred to as C.A.T.S. Other stress-reducing and health-inducing amenities we noted during 2015 included the beach oasis — complete with Adirondack chairs, umbrellas and artificial turf — set up inside Philadelphia International Airport during snowy February, and

the healthy eating campaign at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport that handed out free fruit for travelers, along with prizes.

Complimentary treadmill desks were installed this year at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and, at JFK Terminal 5, JetBlue opened a rooftop lounge complete with dog walk, and created a farm out in front of the terminal where a wide variety of herbs and vegetables are now growing.

FUEL FOR THE FLIGHT

Healthy airport dining options — both sit-down and take-away — are on the rise and, in addition to the many upgraded great restaurants (and bars) rolled out this year, we saw the introduction of several free apps, including Grab and AirGrub, that allow travelers to order ahead, skip the line and streamline the task of purchasing a meal inside the airport to take to the gate or onto the plane.

HELPING OTHERS

Following the lead of airports in Denver and Columbus, Ohio, in January 2015 — when all the Super Bowl fans were flocking to town — Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport put out spare change collection boxes to begin raising money for the on-site USO hospitality center. In April, Lehigh Valley In-

ternational Airport (ABE) in Allentown, Pa., added change collection stations to raise funds for a variety of local charities.

UNIQUE AMENITIES, EVENTS AND MILESTONES

While SFO and DEN airports offer a mobile car-washing service in their airport parking lots (fees range from $24.95 to $49.95), travelers who park in the garages or in the outside parking lot at Spokane International Airport can get their cars washed for free.

In addition to being named the Grand Marshal of the Starlight Parade for the Portland Rose Festival, during 2015 the quirky carpet being replaced at Portland International Airport continued its reign as a social media darling, leading passengers to take a closer look at airport flooring nationwide.

To help with the year-long celebration marking the 20th anniversary of Denver International Airport, the Colorado Lottery created a special edition $2 scratch ticket game featuring four iconic images of the airport and, picking up on the newest oldfashioned craze, this year Dallas Love Field has a giant coloring wall in the terminal. Whenever the picture gets filled in, all they have to do is wipe the surface clean and start over.

ASK THE CAPTAIN

Plane batteries drain just like a car’s Q: Shortly before a recent flight from San Antonio, the pilot announced that the plane was unable to leave because someone had left something turned on overnight that had drained the batteries. Does this happen often?

And would the person responsible have been fired?

— Christine Crawford-Oppenheimer A: It does not happen often, but occasionally the battery master switch is left on and the aircraft batteries are drained. The person that left the switch on would be the subject of an investigation. Some maintenance workers have been terminated for leaving a battery switch on; more often it would result in a suspension and a letter in the personnel file.

Q: Is the cockpit cold after a night on the ground? Do the pilots have to warm it up before flying or is it kept warm by auxiliary power?

— Stu Watson, England A: Yes, the flight deck can be cold after the plane has been sitting outside overnight. When the crew arrives in the morning, they start the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and warm the cabin and flight deck.

Q: The plane we were supposed to board was at the gate for at least 12 hours prior to our flight. The captain told us, due to FAA rules, the plane couldn’t fly because of a cabin lighting issue that was 4 days old. He said that it now had to be fixed before we could take off. Why would an airline wait until a plane has to be taken out of service?

— Denny, N.J. A: All airlines have an FAA-approved Minimum Equipment List (MEL) that details what items may be inoperative and for how long they may remain so.

From your description, it sounds like the inoperative lights were released under the MEL but were not repaired within the required time.

Have a question about flying? Send it to travel@usatoday.com.

Improvements we hope to see in 2016 for overhauling the agency assigned to protect America’s transportation systems, so this is in the realm of possibility. Maybe a good step would be a little politeness.

“The agents should stop yelling at you like gym teachers as soon as you enter the screening area,” says Sarah Sloboda, a photographer who travels often. Or how about removing all of those fullbody scanners? They’ve generated health and privacy concerns and are nearing the end of their projected life expectancy, anyway.

Christopher Elliott

chris@elliott.org Special for USA TODAY

Your holiday wish list is a distant memory by now, which is just as well, because you’re probably not getting what you wanted from the travel industry in 2016.

No, really. The only thing this business can be relied on to deliver, year after year, is a more efficient way of taking money from you when you hit the road.

But there’s hope. Once you dispense with the fantasies of “free” travel and the return of whatyou-see-is-what-you-get prices, there are things you might realistically expect to get this year.

Some of more intrinsic value, some less.

ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

FREE THE WI-FI

Wi-Fi connection fees are the most hated charges among travelers, according to a recent survey

by MileCards.com. “The notion that airline passengers have to pay for it is appalling,” says Megan Stetzel, a frequent traveler who writes a food blog. “For international travelers, Wi-Fi is their only way to connect with home to assure loved ones of safe arrivals or to look up hotels or transportation in the surrounding area.” OK, maybe 2016 won’t be the year of free Wi-Fi, but more hotels are coming to terms with the fact that wireless Internet is a basic utility, like water or electricity. Charging guests extra for it is sure to trigger ill will.

END THE CLASS DIVISION

WIN MCNAMEE, GETTY IMAGES

An officer from the Transportation Security Administration checks documents for passengers traveling through Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Nov. 25.

BRING BACK THE TRAINS

“If I could change anything about travel in 2016, it would be to start rapidly increasing the number of high-speed rail lines between major cities in the USA so we could scale back our dependence on indifferent airlines and overtaxed air traffic control systems,” says Tim Leffel, an industry-watcher and blogger.

Indeed, travelers hate having to pay a slew of extra fees to get into a cramped airplane that’s more uncomfortable than your average bus. But there’s hope on the horizon. High-speed rail projects in California and Florida could accelerate our path to independence from the airline oligopoly.

ROLL OUT THE WELCOME MAT

Remember when they called it the “hospitality” industry? Ann

Fastiggi, head of the hospitality practice at RSR Partners, an executive search firm, does. So do I. Large airports have lost sight of that almost completely, she says.

“How unwelcoming has JFK been recently?” she asks. “Yes, the terminals are improving, but once you leave the building — wow!” Don’t look now, but New York’s other airport, LaGuardia, is about to undergo a $4 billion transformation, which will make it far more hospitable, and that includes much-improved mass transit options.

FIX THE TSA

“Please, oh, please,” frequent flier Laura Sinton says. “Change the TSA process. It’s the most unpleasant part of air travel. It’s ineffective, cumbersome and doesn’t make anyone feel safer.”

Congress has repeatedly called

Jennifer McNeil, a frequent traveler who works for a British marketing agency, says she’s finished feeling like a “second-class citizen” whenever she flies.

“I know you get what you pay for,” she says. “But it’s really cruel for 90% of the flying public. Can’t they throw us some sort of bone, like a pillow and blanket?”

Change is slow, but it is happening. There’s a growing sense that the class divide on planes is too wide. The loyalty programs that created an entire generation of entitled air travelers are just beginning to be reformed. Things will get better. They can’t get any worse.

The reality of travel in 2016 is this: There’s a lot to be optimistic about. Travel companies are tuning in to their customers — not just the super-elites — and giving them what they want. Fast, reliable Internet connections, security with dignity, customer-friendly airports and, yes — even a better air travel experience. It may not happen tomorrow, but soon. You have to believe.

Elliott is a consumer advocate and editor at large for National Geographic Traveler.

DON’T DO THIS IN 2016 Here are three mistakes you shouldn’t make this year. uDon’t stress out. Take a deep breath when you leave your house. “Negative attitudes won’t make the plane leave on time, the traffic on the freeway start moving, or the train fix its technical issues,” says Monica EatonCardone, the chief operating officer of a credit card management company, and a frequent flier. “It would be wonderful if people could just relax while traveling.” uDon’t be a scaredy-cat.

David Capaldi, who runs a luxury travel company, was chagrined when his clients instinctively canceled their trips after the Paris terrorist attacks. “Every time something bad happens in another Western country, the American public seems to quickly jump to the conclusion that traveling anywhere outside the U.S. is dangerous,” he says. “It isn’t.” uDon’t be inconsiderate.

Politeness is often in short supply on the road. Sharon Kenny, a guidebook author and frequent traveler from Naples, Fla., wishes it weren’t, particularly when it comes to infectious diseases. “I would love to see it become acceptable for people to wear those disposable face masks if they are sick with a cold or the flu and still insist on flying and coughing,” she says. That’s already considered acceptable in Japan, so why not in the USA?

‘Force Awakens’ is vaporizing records It’s catching up to title holder ‘Avatar’ at light-speed Bryan Alexander USA TODAY

Star Wars: The Force Awakens started 2016 right where it left off in 2015 — with total box office domination.

The seventh Star Wars cruised to a lopsided victory for New Year’s weekend with $88.3 million, according to studio estimates, setting records every day as it soared to $740 million total after just 17 days of release.

From Christmas to New Year’s, The Force Awakens passed North American totals of blockbusters Titanic ($658.7 million), The Avengers ($623.4 million) and Jurassic World ($652.3 million).

Next stop: overtaking record holder Avatar ($760.5 million).

“The Force Awakens is picking

LUCASFILM

The Millennium Falcon and Star Wars raced to another No. 1. off records one at a time as it explodes up the box office chart,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak.

The J.J. Abrams-directed film passed the $1.5 billion mark worldwide, which makes it the No. 6 movie of all time interna-

tionally (passing Avengers: Age of Ultron at $1.4 billion). It’s poised to pass Furious 7 ($1.515 billion) and Avengers ($1.519 billion).

Avatar sits at the top of the global list with $2.8 billion.

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg’s Christmas comedy Daddy’s

Home managed a powerful second-place run with $29 million for the weekend for an impressive total of $93.7 million.

“Surprisingly, Daddy’s Home is going to be one of the biggest hits of Will Ferrell’s career,” says Jeff Bock, box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations.

Quentin Tarantino’s Western The Hateful Eight took third place with $16.2 million ($29.6 million total) as it expanded nationally to 2,474 theaters from 100 locations. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey’s comedy Sisters took fourth with $12.6 million ($61.7 million total). Family film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip pulled into fifth with $11.8 million ($67.4 million total).

Overall, the New Year’s weekend was so strong that it ran neck-and-neck with the record of $220 million set in 2010 when Avatar and Sherlock Holmes dominated.

The victor will be decided when final numbers are calculated Monday.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

BigBig Monday

Big Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Allen faithful give KU edge Twitter exploded Sunday when @FansofKU shared its “fun fact of the day”: Baylor head basketball coach Scott Drew has as many losses (nine) in Allen Fieldhouse as 13th-year Kansas University coach Bill Self.

Considering that Drew has done a terrific job of building the program from scratch to perennial NCAA Tournament participant, that is as mind-blowing a statistic as there is anywhere.

And it makes it all the more difficult to give tonight’s Big Monday matchup that will pit the nation’s Nos. 1 and No. 2 schools, if the Associated Press college basketball poll looks as expected when released this afternoon, the hype it deserves. Dick Vitale will be on hand to compensate for that deficit.

Sure, a comparison of what the teams have done this season, a study of the personnel, etc., should make it easy to believe that Oklahoma, a 6.5-point underdog, could head out of town with its undefeated record intact.

So why am I having a difficult time convincing myself of that? Probably because after a while it becomes difficult to believe that Kansas ever will either win a football game on the road or lose a basketball game at home. The Jayhawks have lost 38 in a row outside of Memorial Stadium and won 31 consecutive games played in the fieldhouse.

Neither one of those streaks will last forever.

Eventually, the football team will have a happy flight or bus ride home, and the basketball team will watch another team celebrate on its court.

Here’s the best material I could come up with in trying to convince myself that the Sooners could establish themselves as the early favorites to win the Big 12 by winning tonight: 1). Kansas won’t have the best player on the floor.

That distinction belongs to the reigning Big 12 Player of the Year, OU senior guard Buddy Hield, who is averaging 24.7 points per game and with a .495 longdistance accuracy rate is one of four Sooners starters shooting .448 or better from three. Jordan Woodard tops the team with a .531 threepoint percentage.

KU has played just one other game in which the best player on the floor was not playing on its side, and it didn’t go well. Michigan State’s Denzel Valentine’s triple-double (29 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists) led the Spartans back from a 13-point deficit to victory.

2). A stunning 80 percent of OU’s starting lineup has been the same for the past 80 games. Seniors Isaiah Cousins, Hield and Ryan Spangler and junior Woodard know how to play together and been through

KU, OU gird for ‘ridiculous’ matchup

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Loud on Saturday for Kansas University’s Big 12 opener against No. 23-ranked Baylor, Allen Fieldhouse should be really rocking during tonight’s battle between the likely Nos. 1 and 2 teams in the land.

“It’ll be ridiculous, and it should be,” KU coach Bill Self said of an 8 p.m. tipoff between the Jayhawks (12-1, 1-0) and Sooners (12-0, 1-0), who along with SMU and South Carolina are one of three unbeaten teams in the country.

“I think it’ll (WOW! chs. be jumping. I 33, 233) think it’ll be great for our league,” Self

said of what is expected to be the first meeting between AP’s Nos. 1 and 2 teams since No. 2 Michigan State topped No. 1 Kentucky, 78-74, on Nov. 12, 2013, in Chicago. It’ll mark just the second time Allen has hosted a No. 1 vs.

2, with the other on Feb. 13, 1990, when No. 2 Missouri upended No. 1 KU, 77-71.

“Certainly they (Sooners) deserve to be where they are, and we’ve played pretty well with the exception of just a few minutes against a great team (a 79-73 loss to Michigan State). It should be a fun night,” Self said.

LATE SATURDAY BOWL

Phoenix (ap) — Skyler Howard heard the boos from the home fans. He heard the talk about his inconsistencies. He heard how he wasn’t cut out to be a Big 12 quarterback.

On the biggest stage of West Virginia’s season, Howard did all the talking with his arm.

Howard threw for a Cactus Bowl-record 532 yards and hit David Sills on a 15-yard pass for his fifth touchdown with 2:19 left, lifting West Virginia to a wild 43-42 win over Arizona State early Sunday.

“It’s about time it fell together,” said Howard, who completed 28 of 51 passes. “We finally started clicking on offense.”

The Cactus Bowl made up for its late start with an assault on the record books.

The teams combined for 1,196 yards of offense and the 950 yards passing was the most in the Cactus Bowl’s 27-year history as the game crept well past midnight.

West Virginia (8-5) is typically a run-oriented team but went to the air against the Sun Devils.

Howard shredded Arizona State’s shoddy defensive backfield, breaking the Cactus Bowl record of 476 yards set by Washington State’s Drew Bledsoe against Utah in 1992. He also blew past the school bowl record of 429 yards passing by Marc Bulger against Missouri in Tucson in 1998.

“He is gritty, he doesn’t ever give up, he continues to go. It doesn’t matter what people think and people say,” West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. “He just keeps going to work every day and keeps getting better and better. I am really proud of this kid.”

Tim White and Mike Bercovici did their best to keep Arizona State (6-7) in it.

White broke the school record for all-purpose yards with 289, scoring two touchdowns and a blocked PAT return.

Bercovici threw for 418 yards and hit Gary Chambers on a 58yard pass for his fourth touchdown of the game to put Arizona State ahead with about 5 minutes left.

A coaching decision on the point after ended up costing Arizona State.

Instead of going for the twopoint conversion, like their chart says, the Sun Devils inexplicably kicked an extra point and went up 42-36.

West Virginia went ahead by one on Howard’s pass to Sills and the extra point, and Arizona State turned the ball over on downs its last possession.

“We were supposed to go for two, and we didn’t,” Arizona State coach Todd Graham said.

“Mismanagement there and that is my responsibility.”

West Virginia was 14th nationally in rushing offense, thanks in large part to Wendell Smallwood. The Mountaineers clearly saw something they liked in Arizona State’s porous pass defense, though, particularly cornerback Kweishi Brown.

West Virginia went at Brown early and picked on the rest of Arizona State’s secondary throughout the first quarter, gaining 191 yards on eight receptions.

THE BULLS’ JIMMY BUTLER CELEBRATES A THREE-POINT BASKET in a 115-113 victory over the Raptors on Sunday in Toronto.

The Associated Press

Bulls 115, Raptors 113 Toronto — Jimmy Butler broke Michael Jordan’s team record for points in a half, scoring 40 of his 42 after the break to lead Chicago over Toronto on Sunday.

Jordan had 39, also in the second half, in a game against Milwaukee in 1989. Butler shot 14-of-19 in the final two quarters after a 1-for-4 start in the Bulls’ fourth straight win.

Pau Gasol had his 17th double-double of the season with 19 points and 13 rebounds as Chicago beat Toronto for the second time in a week and a seventh consecutive time overall.

DeMar DeRozan led the way for the Raptors with 24 points.

Bad quarter dooms KU women BOX SCORE

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

The longer the second quarter dragged on, the more coach Brandon Schneider agonized as his Kansas University women’s basketball team labored to run its offense Sunday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.

Missed shots and turnovers mounted, and by halftime, the Jayhawks had presented visiting West Virginia with more than enough buffer to coast to a 65-45 victory.

Only three Jayhawks — sophomore guards Lauren Aldridge and Chayla Cheadle and junior forward Caelynn ManningAllen — figured out a way to score in the first half, which ended with Kansas (5-8 overall, 0-2 Big 12) missing its final six shots and giving the ball away seven times in the final five minutes.

“I thought (we) took really quick shots that got them out in transition,” Schneider said of the stretch that gave West Virginia (12-3, 1-1) a 36-17 halftime lead, “and then committed multiple turnovers in that quarter that also got them out in transition, and I felt like the second quarter was the big difference in the ball game.”

WEST VIRGINA FORWARD ARIELLE ROBERSON (32) and Kansas junior forward Jada Brown fight for rebounding position in the Jayhawks’ 65-45 loss on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

The Jayhawks, losers of four straight, found themselves stuck on 17 points for the final 5:06 of the second quarter and finished the half with 15 turnovers, which directly led to 16 WVU points.

West Virginia’s bench alone matched KU’s firsthalf scoring total, with 17.

Complicating matters for the Jayhawks, who finished with 22 turnovers and only nine assists, Aldridge said they failed to pay attention to detail while trying to nav-

igate the Mountaineers’ pressure defense.

“They’re very long, very big, so obviously that’s gonna disrupt a little bit,” Aldridge said after leading Kansas with 16 points, “but I feel like if we would just stick to what we know and pay more attention to detail, it wouldn’t affect us as much.”

Not until 18 seconds remained in the third quarter did a fourth scorer emerge for KU, which eventually saw four more players put up points with

falling to Kansas State, 84-68, on Feb. 14.

“I’d rather be there at the end than now, but I think it could be nice,” Self said of being No. 1. “I think it’s fun to be part of the group or the conversation. We’ve still got to sign some kids. It makes for a good recruiting mailout, things like that.”

The players are definitely fired up. No Jayhawk has yet been No. 1 here before.

“Like coach said, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this in the history of college basketball. It’s the first time for me, coach Self and the program, first time we’ll have a 1 vs. 1 on this floor,” junior guard Frank Mason III said.

“This will be a huge game for the program. I think everybody is excited.”

KU, which has defeated OU in 13 of the past 15 meetings, ranks third in the country in scoring (88.3 ppg), while the Sooners check in at No. 6 (87.0). KU is second in the country in threepoint field-goal percentage (46.0), while OU is third (45.3). The Sooners are ninth in fieldgoal-percentage defense (37.0), while KU is 45th (39.1).

“We’re excited.

They’re another good team. They’re another great team, actually,” said KU junior Wayne Selden Jr., who scored 24 points in Saturday’s 10274 league-opening rout of Baylor. “We’re excited to get out there and compete against them. It’s not coming soon enough.”

OU is led by senior guard Buddy Hield, who leads the Big 12 and is fourth nationally in scoring at 24.7 ppg. He has four 30-point scoring efforts this season and is

the game out of reach.

Freshman Aisia Robertson, who had missed two free throws at the 6:58

emy outside of Wichita.

“We recruited him, but you go back and look at it, we’ve had some pretty good players here, too.

“You say, ‘Well, Buddy’s good. Can he impact us like he impacted OU?’ The answer would probably be yes, but we probably thought at the time we’d love to get him, but OU probably pressed him more and did a better job recruiting him, and they ended up getting him.

“I don’t think Lon (Kruger, OU coach) would have told you he’d average 25 a game. I don’t think anybody would, but he’s terrific, and he’s a better kid than player,” Self added. “I love everything about him. He has so much energy and personality and is always smiling, but the guy can flat-out score.”

Junior guard Jordan Woodard averages 13.9 ppg, senior guard Isaiah Cousins 13.3 ppg (plus 4.8 assists and 4.5 rebounds) and senior forward Ryan Spangler 11.1 ppg and 10.2 rpg.

“They score so easily,” Self said. “Lon is the best at giving guys freedom offensively. They play with a free mind. They can stretch it from every spot.

Their first-shot defense is exceptional. They’ve got a real experienced team.”

The key to handing OU its first loss?

“Don’t let Buddy Hield get off early, because that’s what they like to do,” junior Brannen Greene said. “Keep them out of the paint. Keep them out of their comfort zone. We’ve got to deny the ball everywhere, make it as tough on Buddy as we can. We know he’s going to score points. We have to make it as tough as possible on them, stick to our game plan, too.”

As far as playing two ranked teams in the span of three days ... “We’ve done it before, in Big 12 tournament time,” Greene said. “Coach Self is a genius at getting us

mark, made her second of two free throws. Kansas went the final 4:42 of the third without a field goal and entered the fourth trailing 52-27.

Said Cheadle (six points, seven rebounds): “It’s frustrating when you can’t get the shots that you want. As a team, we have to learn to come together at those times and fight through and figure out what we need to do, run the offense deeper to get the looks that we want.”

KU shot 17-for-44 (38.6 percent) and just three players — Aldridge, Cheadle and Manning-Allen (seven points, four rebounds) — accounted for all the offense for nearly three quarters.

Asked about his team’s offensive woes and lack of scoring options, Schneider said the Jayhawks got the ball inside to Manning-Allen (3-for10 shooting) for the second game in a row.

“I think if you look at it schematically, I like what we’re doing. I like where we get the ball,” he said.

“We just have to do a better job of finishing, whether it’s around the rim or at the free-throw line.”

KU returns to the fieldhouse Wednesday to play host to No. 4 Baylor at 7 p.m.

prepared for games like this.” l

Exciting game ahead: Kruger was asked Sunday about the teams entering the game ranked 1 and 2.

“That makes it exciting,” Kruger said in today’s Norman Transcript. “Guys know how tough it is. They know how good Kansas is.

They know the environment. They’ve been there a few times. They know we’ll have to play well.” l

Quite a game: Last year, OU erased a 19-point halftime deficit, ultimately falling to KU in Allen, 85-78. OU has dropped 14 straight in KU’s building (over 22 seasons), last winning, 80-77, in 1993.

“I just remember giving the game away that we had,” OU’s Hield told the Transcript. “Up by seven with three minutes left. We didn’t do a good job executing. We had a couple calls go against us.

You always have calls go against you, but especially playing in Allen Fieldhouse. We have to do a better job executing and controlling the lead in the last three minutes. That’s something we’re capable of doing tomorrow.”

Hield added to the Transcript: “I enjoy it (playing in Allen). But I just don’t enjoy leaving it afterwards because I never got a win. Hopefully, I can change that around this year and sneak out a win. I think we can do it.

To the Oklahoman, Hield said: “It’s going to be fun. It’s a matchup that everybody is going to be watching. We’re going to handle our business.

Kansas is a good ballclub.

We’ve got to be locked in and focused. The crowd is going to be after us. We have to be ready.” l

Bills 22, Jets 17 Orchard Park, N.Y. — Ryan Fitzpatrick threw interceptions on each of New York’s final three drives, and the Jets’ playoff hopes were dashed with a loss to Buffalo on Sunday.

The Jets (10-6) would have made the postseason for the first time since 2010 with a win, but the defeat combined with Pittsburgh’s win at Cleveland ended those hopes. New York had a five-game winning streak stopped, and the loss came against former Jets coach Rex Ryan — fired

by New York and hired by the Bills (8-8) last January.

Fitzpatrick, who had thrown just one interception in the Jets’ winning streak, was picked off

by Leodis McKelvin in the end zone early in the fourth quarter with New York driving.

Broncos 27, Chargers 20 Denver — Peyton Manning replaced Brock Osweiler in the third quarter and led the Broncos over San Diego that clinched the top seed in the AFC playoffs for Denver.

The first was picked by TJ Carrie late in the second quarter. Then, after Carr was picked off in the end zone by the Chiefs’ Ron Parker a few minutes later, Smith tossed another pass that was caught

by Amerson and returned

AUCTIONS

back Charcandrick West said. “This is a super rare team. We have something special going on here.”

In perhaps their final game in Oakland, the Raiders only mustered a field goal on offense until the final minutes, when Carr connected with Michael Crabtree from 31 yards.

They did get the ball back with 1:34 left, but Carr took one final sack that helped time expire.

Carr finished with 194 yards passing, leaving him 13 yards short of 4,000 for the season. Latavius Murray, the AFC’s rushing leader coming in, carried 11 times for just 31 yards, while David Amerson had a pick-six late in the first half for their only other touchdown.

“We sputtered,” said Carr, who hurt his right hand during the game.

“Sometimes when we needed it the most, we looked like ourselves.

But other times we just looked sloppy.”

The Chiefs started crisply for the third straight game, driving 80 yards for a score on their opening possession. Jeremy Maclin capped it with a 25-yard touchdown reception.

After forcing a punt, the Chiefs cobbled together a creative 12-play, 87-yard drive that included a jet sweep by Maclin for a first down. Spencer Ware’s short touchdown run made it 14-0.

“We started the game great,” Smith said. “We were rolling.”

It was still 14-3 when Smith threw interceptions on consecutive passes, though neither of them was to Charles Woodson — the veteran safety playing the final game of his sterling 18-year career.
