The Leaches have long wondered if detectives did enough when their son first disappeared and later as the investigation dwindled. Did detectives follow all the leads? Is there something they might have missed?

“Over 27 years, there have been so many different tales and nothing was checked out totally,” Alberta Leach said. “So we don’t know if any of the stories are right or wrong. Letting us see the records might bring some light to something.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY MEN’S BASKETBALL STUDENT MANAGER Chip Kueffer, of Baldwin City, sorts a rack of uniforms as he works to fold and bundle jerseys, shorts and other articles of clothing for the Jayhawks prior to a Tuesday team meeting at the Westin Maui in Lahaina, Hawaii. The managers abide by a strict procedure for organizing and laundering all of the gear that accompanies the Jayhawks during their travels but often have to improvise on the road when faced with quick turnarounds between games.

Jayhawk laundry patrol has more baskets than team MANAGER TIM SKOCH CARRIES TWO LARGE LAUNDRY BAGS of the Jayhawks’ uniforms down the hotel hallway to be laundered in preparation for last week’s game against UCLA in Hawaii.

See the photo gallery at LJWorld.com/ kulaundry15.

f you ask one of the student managers for the Kansas men’s basketball team, they might tell you the hustle element doesn’t just exist between the whistles. In fact, they’d probably tell you it is required in every nook and cranny of the program, and this includes the laundry room.

During tournaments such as the 2015 Maui Invitational, where the Jayhawks play three games in as many days, it’s the managers’ job to make sure the laundry gets collected, sorted, washed, dried, hung or folded and then returned in time for the next game or practice. Often, the team hotels will offer the use of their industrial washers and dryers to handle such loads. Other times, they are unable to accommodate the team, such as during the Jayhawks’ last trip to Maui.

Imagine, if you will, the jerseys of Thomas Robinson, Tyshawn Taylor, Jeff Withey and the rest of the team spin cycling in a coin-op laundromat with the locals, which was the case in 2011.

Leavenworth County Sheriff Andy Dedeke did not respond to a request for an interview.

Bringing Kansas in line The Leaches aren’t alone in their quest for records.

There have been several high-profile cases in recent years where people had to go to court and spend tens of thousands of dollars to fight for police investigation files, including a family whose house was raided by sheriff’s deputies based on bad information and a woman who wanted to know why police shot her daughter.

Now help for the Leaches and others may be near.

A group of public records advocates are pushing for Kansas legislators to bring the Kansas Open Records Act regarding disclosure of police records more in line with open records laws of other states. They want to return the law to the way it worked in Kansas until the late 1970s when legislators, angry about a crime story, passed a law that closed police investigations and police reports, including probable cause affidavits.

“Imagine how awful it is for this family, that there is information out there, and there is nothing pending in the foreseeable future, and they are prevented access,” said Max Kautsch, a Lawrence attorney who specializes in First Amendment rights and open government. He has represented the Journal-World and other newspapers in several open records cases.

The Kansas Press Association, the Kansas Association of Broadcasters and the Kansas Sunshine Coalition for Open Government also are supporting changes in the police records law, Kautsch said.

Rep. John Rubin, a Shawnee Republican, said he will hold hearings at the Capitol, possibly in January or February, to receive input from the public, law enforcement and prosecutors with hopes of drafting a bill to correct some of the problems with the law.

A situation like the Leaches’ “on its face appears to be improper,” said Rubin, a former federal administrative judge and chairman of the House corrections and juvenile justice committee. “That’s certainly why I’m interested in conducting hearings and looking further into it. I want to more carefully refine those circumstances under which police investigatory records and reports are going to be exempt to disclosure to avoid abuses. This is an issue that continues to be of significant importance to me.”

TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS HAVE PASSED since Linwood high school senior Randy Leach vanished from a graduation party, but his parents, Harold and Alberta Leach, still want to find out what happened to their only child.

Rubin is no stranger to trying to open up closed police records.

Two years ago, the Legislature passed a bill Rubin crafted to make available the reasons why police arrest someone or search a home.

Those reports, known as probable cause affidavits, had been closed to the public for almost 40 years.

But since the new law was implemented in July 2014, there still have been problems getting those records.

Lawrence case The Journal-World has had to take legal action in some cases to obtain records, and in at least one case no information has been released.

In a case that is almost a year old, very little information is known about why the state charged two people with human trafficking.

One of the defendants, Chen Li, pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated human trafficking and one count of sale of sexual relations and was sentenced in November to three and a half years in prison.

The trial for the second person charged in the case, Guihong Xiao, is scheduled for Feb. 16.

In May, Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild sealed the arrest affidavits and in a letter to the Journal-World said he did so because the investigation is ongoing and others may be arrested.

Officials also refused to release a search warrant affidavit in the case.

So far no one else has been arrested.

Because the affidavits were sealed, because preliminary hearings were waived in both cases and because investigation files are secret, Li is in prison and the evidence used to put him there remains sealed in perpetuity.

‘The law is pretty clear’ Rubin said some judges and prosecutors are

L awrence J ournal -W orld

misinterpreting the intent of the law regarding the affidavits.

The law requires that once a police report’s narrative has been determined to be available to one person, it should be available to everyone, Rubin said. But some court officials believe that each time someone requests the record, a new determination of whether it is public must be made, a cost that is levied against the requester and taxpayers.

“Frankly, I think the law is pretty clear now, but apparently some others don’t,” Rubin said.

“We have had some uneven interpretation and application across the state of what I think are the clear requirements of the probable cause affidavit statute that we passed two years ago.”

Rubin took on the police records issue after he learned about Leawood couple Robert and Adlynn Harte, who with their two children fell victim to an early-morning raid in April 2013 by a Johnson County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team searching for marijuana.

The team spent several hours tearing apart the home but didn’t find any marijuana and finally left after counseling the parents to keep a close eye on their son, who was in middle school.

The family — she’s an attorney, he’s in computer programming — couldn’t figure out why their home was searched.

The search warrant affidavit and other investigative records that would delineate the evidence the detectives used to obtain the right to search the home are not open under Kansas law.

They filed two open records requests with the sheriff’s office and were denied both times.

Finally the couple filed a lawsuit and, after spending $25,000, obtained a judicial ruling opening the records.

The records showed that detectives had apparently flimsy evidence:

They had pulled the Hartes’ trash and found what they believed to be marijuana. They used that to get the search warrant, but it was months later that detectives learned the “marijuana” was actually tea leaves.

Although the sheriff’s detectives realized the mistake, the Hartes never learned about it until they forced the agency to turn over the records. A federal lawsuit is pending, and they have testified before the Legislature.

In late 2013, Prairie Village paid $560,000 to Beverly Stewart, the mother of a mentally ill woman who was shot to death by the city’s SWAT team. After her daughter was killed, Stewart asked the police for the investigative file but was denied.

Stewart finally sued the city to get the file, spent thousands of dollars on the lawsuit, and a judge determined Stewart had the right to the records.

Based on the evidence in the file, attorneys for the city’s insurance company advised the city administrator to settle with Stewart.

It’s not unheard of for law enforcement agencies to release investigative files, but it is rare.

During the Kansas gubernatorial election last year, Montgomery County Sheriff Robert “Bobby” Dierks released an investigative file from a 1998 case that contained damaging information about Gov. Sam Brownback’s challenger Paul Davis.

Davis happened to be at the bar 16 years ago when a raid took place but was not a suspect.

‘27 years is too long’ In the Leach case, his parents after several years had him declared dead. The sheriff’s office decided that Leach was a homicide victim.

Sometime in the 1990s, the Leaches filed their records request with the sheriff’s office, and Alberta Leach said they received about 60 pages, but they were all documents she and her husband had given

on an icy stretch of Interstate 35 near Andover.

The crash killed the SUV’s driver, Shirley Ann Starr, 65, of Kansas City, Mo., and a truck passenger, Arlene Dale Harrison, 60, of Winnipeg, Canada.

Authorities previously blamed two traffic deaths Thursday in western Kansas on the wintry storm system. Officials in Texas have blamed at least eight deaths on the storms since Thursday. detectives, such as their son’s medical records, and nothing about the actual investigation.

Last year, after the Leaches had not heard from any law enforcement officers for several years, they filed a records request with the KBI but were denied.

The Journal-World also filed a records request and was turned down.

Laura M. Graham, KBI general counsel, gave several reasons in a letter to the newspaper about why the file would remain closed: l No matter how old criminal investigation records are, “they remain criminal investigation records.” l The file may have irrelevant information or information potentially embarrassing to someone. l The release of the records should be in the public interest. l The records also “must pertain to a matter which affects the community at large.”

“We believe criminal investigation records should be protected and that it is not in the public interest that they be released, particularly when a case has never been solved and remains open,” Graham wrote.

Kautsch, who has a blog called “Fresh Take on the First Amendment,” said that in most states law enforcement agencies are required to release investigative files after certain requirements are met.

In Missouri, investigations are open after a case is adjudicated, a person pleads to a crime, a jury trial is finished, or after a certain period of time passes.

In Florida and Arkansas, the file usually becomes public after a law enforcement agency finishes its investigation and forwards the case to the prosecutor and the defendant.

Under Florida law, criminal cases that have not been adjudicated and are inactive can still become public, Kautsch said. The law defines when a case is active: l Police can reasonably anticipate criminal activity. l Police believe they can secure an arrest or prosecution in the foreseeable future. l If the case has information that is directly related to pending prosecutions or appeals.

“Look how much sense this makes,” Kautsch said.

“It protects the state’s legitimate good faith interest, but it also allows for public access to records that are being unreasonably held.

“If this law were in place, the Leaches would have their records already,” he said. “Twenty-seven years is too long to keep records closed.”

Besides the investigative records and the narratives of police reports, Rubin said he plans to address in the upcoming legislative session when police videos from body and car cameras should be released.

KC man charged with child abuse

Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — A Kansas City, Kan., man was charged Friday with child abuse after police responded to an armed disturbance that led them to discover human remains at a barn on his property.

Michael A. Jones, 44, is being held on $10 million bond on charges that also include aggravated battery and aggravated assault with a firearm. The Wyandotte County prosecutor’s office didn’t immediately respond to an email asking whether he had an attorney who could comment.

The prosecutor’s office said in a news release that he is accused of battering a woman and “torturing or cruelly beating” his 7-yearold son. Police said that while responding to the disturbance they were told that the boy had been missing for “an extended period of time.”

students about responsible social media use. Education about responsible, safe and appropriate use of social media in the middle and high schools includes information provided to students through school assemblies, class presentations and curriculum.

The three Internet threats this school year stem from two separate incidents, one last month at Lawrence High School and the other Nov. 20 at Free State High School, according to information from Julie Boyle, district spokeswoman. In addition to reporting the incidents to law enforcement, school administrators also informed school staff

Music CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Lawrence High and Free State High competed against hundreds of students from the northeast Kansas district. The students practice multiple pieces of music for the auditions at home with assistance from school music instructors, who then select the students who will audition for district-level.

“This is one of those things that while the auditions have a competitive aspect, the competition is with themselves in learning that music,” said Lawrence High choir director Dwayne Dunn. “The kids who make it into district get to do something to collaborate not only with the kids across town, but across the district.”

For district choir, about 250 students total are selected. Each school is allowed to send 20 students to audition, and Lawrence High sent 19, owing to an illness. Of those, 16 of the Lawrence High students were picked for district choir, tying the school with Olathe East for third most students selected.

Blue Valley Northwest sent the most students, with 19, and Shawnee Mission West sent the second most, with 17.

and parents. All three students’ parents were also notified.

“If we think there is any danger, then we don’t hesitate (to contact law enforcement) because it’s too risky,” Doll said.

The school board policy covers threats made over the Internet, whether made on or off school grounds. Because a large portion of Internet activity happens while students are not at school, parents also need to be involved, Doll said.

“Schools can certainly do our part, but parents are responsible for their kids for most of the time, so it has to be a partnership between the school and what’s happening at home,” he said.

On Nov. 20, Free State administration assisted Lawrence police in investigating an allegation that two students posted

comments of a threatening nature on the Internet, Boyle said. At no time was the safety of Free State students or staff at risk, she said.

Boyle said that on Oct. 7, Lawrence High administration assisted law enforcement in an investigation of a report that a junior male student made comments of a threatening nature on the Internet. The report did not involve threats toward Lawrence High. School administration initiated disciplinary action in accordance with board policy, she said.

District officials would not provide additional details about the incidents or the nature of the threats, including who or what the students allegedly threatened, where on the Internet the threats were posted or whether the threats were made on

for us than the last couple years,” Dunn said. “I’m very happy with 16 — you never quite know how it’s going to play out.”

Free State High also sent a good number of students.

Of the Free State students who auditioned for district choir, 14 were selected.

Hilary Morton, the choir director at Free State, said auditioning solo is a difficult test for students, and instructors work with students leading up to the auditions to help them get over their nerves.

“It’s scary to suddenly be alone when you’ve been singing with 60 of your friends for the rest of the time,” Morton said.

“Kids learn to suppress their anxiety and perform to the best of their ability, which is so valuable.”

Morton said when students are selected, they not only get to represent their schools but can also learn from other students. “(They get) to know other students with strong musical backgrounds as well,” she said. “They make friends, learn about how differently people learn in other schools, and about their programs.”

Several band and orchestra students also qualified for district instrumental ensembles and are either performing or slated as alternates for the band, jazz band or orchestra concerts.

Ten musicians total from

Lawrence High were selected, and 17 from Free State. Overall, about 400 students are selected.

Doll said Lawrence public schools’ student musicians have a lot to offer the community.

“I encourage community members to visit our schools and take in a concert,” Doll said. “They always impress and inspire.”

The students selected for district choir, band and orchestra will perform Saturday, and a $1 ticket will get a person admission to all three concerts. District choir will perform at Shawnee Mission Northwest High School, band at Blue Valley High School in Overland Park and orchestra at Olathe South High School. Both the preparation and performance are a memorable experience for students, Dunn said.

“It’s one of those experiences that the kids talk about and rave about for a long, long time,” he said.

More detailed schedules for the Dec. 5 concerts will be posted on the Northeast Kansas Music Educators Association website, ksmea.org/ne/, as they become available. Students should be notified by midDecember whether they have been selected to go on to all-state choir, band and orchestra.

hazing and bullying policy, which also covers cyberbullying. The policy states that “bullying shall also include cyberbullying initiated off school premises which threatens or endangers the safety of students, employees, or third parties, or school property, and which substantially disrupts the educational program of the district.” Cyberbullying is defined as “threats or harassment over Internet through web pages, email, instant messaging, text messaging, or by other electronic means.”

Doll noted the incidents so far this year are

school property.

About 70 percent of teenagers ages 13 to 17 report having access to a smartphone, and about 90 percent report going online daily — including about 25 percent who say they go online “almost constantly,” according to a recent study from Pew Research Center. In order to help parents better understand the topic, school resource officers have been hosting presentations on social media for parents at the district’s four middle schools this year.

Internet threats fall under the board’s

few in comparison with the number of students in the district.

“We’ve got about 12,000 kids, and we’ve had two incidents,” he said. “Most of our kids are very, very responsible, so that’s a minute fraction of the number of the kids that we have in school. We don’t want to overact, but we have to be very careful.”

Social media presentations for parents have already taken place this school year at Southwest and South middle schools, and presentations at West and Liberty Memorial Central will follow. Parents will receive notification of the date and time of the presentation about two weeks in advance.

support the effort. The remaining 52 percent answered “No” (25.9 percent) or “Not Sure” (26 percent). The margin of error for this result was 2.6 percent to 3 percent. l When asked about what method they preferred to restrict singleuse plastic bags — either banning them or imposing a small fee for shoppers who use them — respondents were mostly unsure. “Not sure” was the most-selected option, with 44.6 percent of votes. The other choices were almost evenly split, with 28.4 percent of respondents choosing a ban and 27 percent saying a fee would be better.

The result had a margin of error of 2.6 to 3.

Other cities across the U.S. have tackled plastic

bag restrictions with different methods and varying success. According to the Surfrider Foundation, a group that advocates for the protection of oceans and beaches, the most effective ordinances include a mixture of both.

The process and method through which plastic bags are restricted will be a major point the environmental groups will need to discuss when working on a more detailed proposal.

A proposal — when there is one — will face some hurdles before any type of implementation is considered.

The Sustainability Advisory Board unanimously voted to have one of its members work with the groups to create a detailed proposal. When complete, the proposal will be taken before the advisory board, and it will consider whether to advance it. As a city

LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION

Vermont Street bridge to be reduced to one lane

Agenda highlights • 5:45 p.m. Tuesday • City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets • WOW! Channel 25

City to consider $7.8M in revenue bonds

BOTTOM LINE Commissioners will consider authorizing the city to issue $7.8 million in industrial revenue bonds for the proposed development of apartments at 800 New Hampshire Ave. The bonds would allow developers to be exempt from paying sales tax on construction materials for the project.

BACKGROUND Local businessman Doug Compton has confirmed he has a deal to convert the former Pachamamas restaurant into a five-story apartment building. There are plans for the first floor to be restaurant or retail space, and the remainder of the building would comprise 50 to 55 apartments.

The cost of construction materials is estimated at $3,498,982. The requested $7.8 million in industrial revenue bonds is estimated to cost the city approximately $74,000 in sales tax revenue. It would cost the state an estimated $227,000 and Douglas County about $13,000.

The city’s Public Incentives Review Committee is recommending the bonds be granted.

Lawrence: l Traffic control will be in place and the left lane will be closed on the Vermont Street bridge between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. starting Tuesday so Black Hills Energy can inspect a main. Work is expected to last two days. l New Hampshire Street will remain closed to traffic from the mid-block crossing at Eighth Street south to Ninth Street until Tuesday for a waterline installation. l Massachusetts Street will be closed from Seventh to 13th streets beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday for the Lawrence Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade. No parking will be available in the area for the duration of the parade. l Kansas Highway 10 from East 1650 Road to East 1900 Road will remain reduced to one lane through spring. On Friday, the eastbound lane will shift onto a new pavement alignment, weather permitting. l Maple Street is set to close for one day on Tuesday between Fifth and Seventh streets for storm sewer line work.

search firm, R. William Funk and Associates, on Wednesday.

The position will be open to internal and external candidates, GrayLittle said, and common contenders for provost positions are deans, vice provosts and senior faculty leaders. She declined to say whether KU was targeting any particular internal candidates. “I don’t know who is going to apply, but it will be a national search,� she said.

Gray-Little, who was 64 when KU hired her in 2009, did not share any information about when she plans to retire. But she said that’s a conversation she’ll probably have with provost candidates. “I expect it to be a question that they will have,� she said.

Gray-Little said she does not think her retirement timeline will hamper the hiring process. “Will I expect that we can hire someone good if they don’t think I’m going to be here for a long period of time? The answer is yes, I think we can get some good candidates,� she said. “I think it’s an attractive position.�

Gray-Little said KU will look for a provost with good management skills, a commitment to academic quality and who shares “the values of the university.�

Being capable of, and invested in, moving KU forward on the issue of diversity is extra important now, Gray-Little said. “While that’s almost always part of the job description, I think that will have heightened scrutiny.�

Lacking options, ignore egotistical co-worker Dear Annie: My coworker, “Carl,” has been at his job for eight years. I’ve been here for 10. We’ve never been friends, but that hasn’t mattered until now.

Recently, Carl and I were put together on a team. It turns out he is one of the most uncaring, egotistical, selfcentered, small-minded individuals with whom I have ever dealt.

Everything Carl does aggravates me to no end.

The boss knows he is a troublemaker, but refuses to deal with the situation. Please don’t suggest I look for another job.

I cannot do that at this point in time. Any advice?

— Frustrated Dear Frustrated: Since you cannot leave and your boss will do nothing to alleviate the situation, you have to find a way to deal with Carl. First find out if it’s

possible to be put on another team or ask to have your assignment changed. That would be the easiest way to avoid Carl. If that isn’t an option, try to ignore the things that most irritate you. His egotistical, small-minded personality is not necessarily relevant to getting the job done. Focus on the work and imagine him as a small annoying fly that keeps buzzing around your head. But please don’t swat him.

PBS salutes ‘Downton Abbey’ Are viewers ready for life after “Downton Abbey”? Is PBS? Everybody who cares about the show knows that the next season, which starts in January, will be its last. As consolation, or perhaps preparation, for the grief to come, PBS offers “A Salute to Downton Abbey” (8 p.m., check local listings, TV-G), a collection of clips and highlights from the past five seasons that also glances ahead at season six and features interviews with creator Julian Fellowes and members of the cast.

How about a role-reversal “Roman Holiday” that’s a Christmas movie set in the Great Lakes blizzard belt? “A Prince for Christmas” (8 p.m., ION) plays with the formula. Fleeing his royal duties and an impending arranged marriage, Prince Duncan (Kirk Barker) finds himself in small town America while losing his regal heart to a friendly waitress (Viva Bianca).

“Prince” was shot on location in East Aurora, N.Y., located southeast of Buffalo. Many small towns featured in Hallmark movies, even the Stars Hollow of “Gilmore Girls” fame, can look a tad too perfect, more like movie sets than lived-in locales. East Aurora is an actual town, a place where they measure winter snow in feet, not inches.

Dear Annie: I was invited to a family wedding by cousins with whom I am not in close contact. My boyfriend and I have been together for many years, but this segment of the family was unaware of him and so he wasn’t included in the invitation. We are as “together” as any husband and wife, but when I RSVP’d and said that we would be coming together, I was told that I couldn’t bring him because of limits on the guest list. I would have liked to go to renew family connections, but this meant I could not attend either.

Would it have been better to refer to him as my fiance? A fiance implies that you plan to marry and we don’t. We need a new vocabulary to cover the many variations people have for coupledom. — Confused

Dear Confused: It’s no one’s business whether you intend to marry or not. Established couples that are not engaged — those who are living together or who have been seeing one another exclusively for several months or longer — should be included together in invitations.

However, since your cousins didn’t know you had a serious boyfriend, it is only natural that they didn’t invite him. It would have been more appropriate to explain the situation and ask to bring him. Nonetheless, it would be nice for you to reacquaint yourself with your cousins and let them get to know your boyfriend. Plan a visit at another time.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, Nov. 29: This year many doors could open. In many ways, you continue to grow. Tap into your intuition more often. If you are single, you could meet someone through another key person in your life. If you are attached, the two of you love your one-on-one time together.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Someone you consider to be an acquaintance might appear with an important message.

Tonight: Consider a weekend away.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You find the right words to share with someone who might be fragile. A friend could become difficult. Tonight: Catch up on news.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Be aware of the implications involved with not being sensitive to an older person. Squeeze in some holiday shopping. Tonight: Treat a loved one to dinner.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Know that your words will be heard. Get into a project involving the holidays. Tonight: Go over your wish list.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Use today for you. You might want to relax a bit before joining a friend later. Tonight: Out and about.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Zero in on what you want, but don’t forget about plans with a friend. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Take a stand within your immediate circle. Unwind and take a nap. Tonight: Out on the town.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Reach out to someone at a distance whom you might not have called this past Thanksgiving.

Tonight: Join a friend or two.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be aware that someone you care about is observing your behavior more closely. Don’t worry; this person is pleased with what he or she is seeing. Tonight: Relax to a movie.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Defer to others, as you are likely to have little choice.

You won’t want to deal with a lot of flak. Tonight: Say “yes” to a fun invitation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Pace yourself. Become more in touch with your responsibilities and what you must get done. Tonight: Be caring.

Uncomfortable?

Providing a completely comfortable experience for everyone at Kansas University may be an unrealistic expectation.

D

uring recent discussions about diversity at Kansas University, much has been said about students being “uncomfortable.”

It seems worth saying that part of the purpose of higher education is to expose students to thoughts and ideas that may make them uncomfortable. Creating an atmosphere where both students and faculty members are able to express and discuss difficult and controversial ideas is essential to the mission of a university.

There certainly is a distinction between being uncomfortable and being exposed to a hostile learning environment. Discrimination based on race, gender or other factors can’t be tolerated. It’s not OK for students to be made to feel uncomfortable because of who they are; but it’s arguably necessary for them to face issues that could make them uncomfortable.

In an effort to guarantee a comfortable environment for students, universities run the risk of insulating them from the world to the extent that it hampers their academic development. It sometimes is said that the current generation of college students was raised in an environment where everything they did was rewarded; everyone got a trophy. If things weren’t going well, there was always someone — parents, teachers, school administrators — to fix it for them. Why wouldn’t students who bring that attitude to college expect never to have to deal with anything that makes them uncomfortable?

For better or worse, a university education is about exploring ideas that may upset many students’ assumptions about the world and themselves.

That may make them uncomfortable, but it also is key to learning — not only about academic subjects but about life in general. Unfortunately, there’s nothing new about students worrying that disagreeing with a teacher may affect their grade. Handling such conflicts in a reasonable way is something they will be called upon to do many times after they leave the university.

KU officials are right to take seriously some of the stories they are hearing about students experiencing discrimination or harassment, but it may be asking too much of the university to shield its faculty, staff or students from all discomfort.

U.S. must curb administrative state Washington — As the administrative state distorts America’s constitutional architecture, Clarence Thomas becomes America’s indispensable constitutionalist.

Now in his 25th year on the Supreme Court, he is urging the judicial branch to limit the legislative branch’s practice of delegating its power to the executive branch.

In four opinions in 112 days between March 9 and June 29, Thomas indicted the increasing incoherence of the court’s separation of powers jurisprudence. This subject is central to today’s argument between constitutionalists and progressives. The former favor and the latter oppose holding Congress to its responsibilities and restricting executive discretion.

“The Constitution,” Thomas notes, “does not vest the federal government with an undifferentiated ‘governmental power.’” It vests three distinguishable types of power in three different branches. The court, Thomas says, has the “judicial duty” to enforce the Vesting Clauses as absolute and exclusive by policing the branches’ boundaries.

Particularly, it should prevent Congress from delegating to executive agencies the essentially legislative power of formulating “generally applicable rules of private conduct.” Such delegation, Thomas says, erases the distinction between “the making of law, and putting it into effect.”

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

Particularly, it (the Supreme Court) should prevent Congress from delegating to executive agencies the essentially legislative power of formulating ‘generally applicable rules of private conduct.’”

Today, if Congress provides “a minimal degree of specificity” in the instructions it gives to the executive, the court, Thomas says, abandons “all pretense of enforcing a qualitative distinction between legislative and executive power.” As a result, the court has “overseen and sanctioned the growth of an administrative system that concentrates the power to make laws and the power to enforce them in the hands of a vast and unaccountable administrative apparatus that finds no comfortable home in our constitutional structure.”

Writing in National Affairs quarterly, Charles J. Cooper, who served in Ronald Reagan’s Justice Department, says the principles

Thomas has articulated “attack the very existence of the modern administrative state.” This state, so inimical to conservatism’s aspiration for government limited by a constitutional structure of rival branches, depends on something conservatives too frequently and reflexively praise. It depends on judicial deference to the majoritarian institution of Congress even when Congress delegates its legislative powers to unaccountable agencies.

Cooper notes that in an 1887 essay, Professor Woodrow Wilson of Bryn Mawr College said that the complexities of modern life demand government by experts — administrators with “large powers and unhampered discretion.”

Wilson, who became the first president to criticize America’s founding, regretted the separation of powers because he thought modern government required a clerisy of unfettered administrators.

When, during the New Deal, the court became permissive about Congress delegating essentially legislative powers, there was, Cooper says, “an implicit bargain: The court would permit Congress to delegate — and the administrative state to exercise — legislative, executive and judicial power, but it would review administrative exercises of such power to prevent lawlessness and abuse.”

However, three decades ago the court “reneged on the deal.” It decided that if a statute’s language is silent or

ambiguous about a particular matter — as many statutes are because Congress is eager to delegate difficult decisions — the court would defer to the executive agency’s interpretation.

Evidence that Congress may be rediscovering its institutional conscience was the maiden speech delivered this month by Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, a Yale Ph.D. (in history) and former college president. He rose from his desk — the one that formerly was used by another academic in politics, Daniel Patrick Moynihan — and asked: “Would anything be lost if the Senate didn’t exist?” He said: “The growth of the administrative state, the fourth branch of government, is increasingly hollowing out the Article I branch, the legislature — and many in Congress have been complicit in this.”

Sasse promises more speeches detailing “how we got to the place where so much legislating now happens inside the executive branch — for this kind of executive overreach came about because of a great deal of symbiotic legislative underreach.”

In our system, Madison said, “Ambition must be made to counteract ambition.”

Sasse, whose wholesome ambition is for his institution’s revival relative to the presidency, should walk across First Street, N.E., to the Supreme Court building, where he will find a kindred spirit.

Vaughn, the ago University stuIN 1915 dent who represented the Journal-World at the football game at Columbia yesterday, belongs the credit for keeping the outside world supplied with news of the game after all the wires leading from Rollins field to the Western Union office at Columbia had been disabled. The JournalWorld had a wire from the field for its exclusive service yesterday, and it was the last wire to ‘go out’ in the storm. Finally it, too, failed and then Vaughn splashed his way from the field to a house telephone at some distance at frequent intervals to send his bulletins to the Western Union office down town.”

Trump may be wake-up call for nation “You got to give the people what they want.” — O’Jays Even by his standards, it was an astounding performance.

Over the course of just two days last weekend, Donald Trump spewed bigotry, venom and absurdity like a sewer pipe, spewed it with such utter disregard for decency and factuality that it was difficult to know what to criticize first.

Shall we condemn him for retweeting a racist graphic on Sunday filled with wildly inaccurate statistics from a nonexistent source (“Whites killed by blacks — 81 percent”)?

Or shall we hammer him for tacitly encouraging violence when an African-American protester was beaten up at a Trump rally in Birmingham on Saturday? “Maybe he should have been roughed up,” Trump told Fox “News.”

Shall we blast him for telling ABC on Sunday that he would bring back the thoroughly discredited practice of waterboarding — i.e., torturing — suspected terrorists?

Or shall we lambaste him for claiming — falsely — at the Birmingham rally that “thousands and thousands” of people in Jersey City, N.J.,

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

And though candidate Trump would be a disaster for the Republicans, he would also be one for the nation, effectively rendering ours a oneparty system.”

applauded the Sept. 11 attacks and reiterating it the next day, telling ABC that “a heavy Arab population … were cheering.”

Trump is a whack-a-mole of the asinine and the repugnant. Or, as a person dubbed “snarkin pie” noted on Twitter: “Basically, Trump is what would happen if the comments section became a human and ran for president.”

Not that that hurts his bid for the GOP nomination. A Washington Post/CNN poll finds Trump with a doubledigit lead (32 percent to 22

percent) on his nearest rival, Ben Carson, who is his equal in nonsense, though not in volume. Meantime, establishment candidate Jeb Bush is on life support, mired in single digits.

And the party is panicking.

In September, Bobby Jindal called Trump “a madman.”

Two weeks ago came reports of an attempt to lure Mitt Romney into the race. Candidate Jim Gilmore and advisers to candidates Bush and Marco Rubio have dubbed Trump a fascist. Trump, complains the dwindling coven of grown-ups on the right, is doing serious damage to the Republican “brand.”

Which he is. But it is difficult to feel sorry for the GOP. After all, it has brought this upon itself.

Keeping the customer satisfied, giving the people what they want, is the fundament of sound business. More effectively than anyone in recent memory, Trump has transferred that principle to politics. Problem is, it turns out that what a large portion of the Republican faithful wants is racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, the validation of unrealistic fears and the promise of quick fixes to complex problems.

That’s hardly shocking.

This is what the party estab-

lishment has trained them to want, what it has fed them for years. But it has done so in measured tones and coded language that preserved the fiction of deniability. Trump’s innovation is his increasingly apparent lack of interest in deniability. Like other great demagogues — George Wallace, Joe McCarthy, Huey Long, Charles Coughlin — his appeal has been in the fact that he is blunt, unfiltered, anti-intellectual, full-throated and unapologetic. And one in three Republicans are eating it up like candy.

Mind you, this is after the so-called 2013 “autopsy” wherein the GOP cautioned itself to turn from its angry, monoracial appeal. Two years later, it doubles down on that appeal instead.

And though candidate Trump would be a disaster for the Republicans, he would also be one for the nation, effectively rendering ours a one-party system.

But maybe that’s the wakeup call some of us require to end this dangerous flirtation with extremism.

“You got to give the people what they want,” says an old song. Truth is, sometimes it’s better if you don’t.

Laundry CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Kueffer, Tim Skoch, Emily Tyler and Jay Turnipseed are going room to room picking up piles of the players’, well, dirty laundry at the Westin Maui in Lahaina.

Tyler holds a clipboard, checking off each item received to make sure nothing is lost or unaccounted for. A few stragglers remain, and Kueffer heads down the hall to knock on forward Jamari Traylor’s door. Tyler admits Traylor is habitually the last to turn in his laundry.

Around 11:30 the next day, Kueffer and the staff are laying out clothes on the floor of an events room shortly before a team meeting, where the players will gather their uniforms for Tuesday night’s game against UCLA. The process of gathering, loading, unloading and folding is a seemingly endless task.

“We constantly have something washing,” said Kueffer, of Baldwin City, who is in his third season as a manager with the team.

“We have laundry going during the game,” said Skoch, a senior from Hastings, Neb., who is also in his third year.

“They’ll go out and warm up in their (pregame) stuff. A manager will have that started and washing while the first half is going.” “(At the Fieldhouse) we are so fortunate to have our own laundry room,” Kueffer said.

“We’ve got two big washers, two big dryers.

I doubt that many programs are as blessed as we are as far as it comes with our facilities.”

Washing and keeping track of team gear and uniforms are not their only responsibilities. The managers work the summer basketball camps, and it has been known that occasionally Kansas head basketball coach Bill Self will throw them into drills to assist during practices.

Sounds glamorous, right? Flash back to the 2014 season. It’s after 4 a.m. March 2, and the Jayhawks’ team bus is rolling back to the Fieldhouse following a 72-65 loss at Oklahoma State the night before. Skoch is there to greet the team and start the laundry.

“I just remember sitting on the ledge (outside the Fieldhouse) waiting for the team to get back,” said Skoch. “It was 4:30 a.m., and I had class at 8. You’ve gotta get the laundry started because that stuff can get pretty nasty.”

Although the managers have been able to get the job done stateside, no handwritten instructions from Mom could prepare them for what Kueffer

MANAGERS JAY TURNIPSEED, LEFT, Tim Skoch and Chip Kueffer pull duffel bags of the Jayhawks’ gear into the Westin Maui in Lahaina, Hawaii last week.

MANAGERS PULL JERSEYS FROM A RACK after a night of air drying as they are organized into bundles for the players. and Skoch experienced while traveling with the team in South Korea.

Quite possibly the biggest feat pulled off by the student managers came this summer, when the Jayhawks represented the United States in the 2015 World University Games in Gwangju. The team arrived on June 30 and defeated Germany on July 13, going 8-0 to win the gold medal.

That’s eight games and several practices in two weeks’ time in a country where most laundromats or even local households don’t have dryers.

“This is the panel of the laundry machine that we used,” says Skoch with a smile, as he produces his cellphone with an image of the front of a washer displaying the cycle options written solely in Korean text.

To compensate for the lack of dryers, Kueffer and Skoch made a trip to a hardware store and purchased some rope.

According to the two managers, they strung several lines around the room and swung open the sliding-glass door to their balcony, transforming their room into an open-air drying operation.

“I’m telling you, man, our room in Korea, seventh floor, it looked like an obstacle course with all the ropes,” Kueffer said. “It looked like ‘Mission: Impossible.’”

“We had like six fans blowing on (all the clothes),” Skoch added.

“If it would have just been me or if it would have just been Tim in Korea, after that Turkey game with the jerseys, I don’t think it’s possible that we

would have gotten the jerseys turned around,” said Kueffer, acknowledging their reliance on one another.

Their efforts did not go unnoticed by anyone on the trip, including those at the highest levels of Kansas basketball. Following the Jayhawks’ 84-77 win over Germany in the goldmedal game, Kueffer and Skoch described being in the locker room for the team’s celebration when Self announced the two would also be receiving medals.

At the Westin Maui, Self talked about his appreciation for Kueffer and Skoch.

“There really wasn’t much of a decision to be made. There were 13 players that got medals, and they gave us 15,” said Self, who elected not to keep a medal for himself. “Tim and Chip, they worked harder than anybody else over there. It takes a lot

more work than what people think to move a party of 24 around in a foreign country like that. They earned it, and they deserved it.”

“I didn’t see it coming,” said Kueffer. “It was just instinctual to just run up and give him a big bear hug.”

Their efforts did not go unnoticed by the players, either.

“The guys went kinda crazy,” Skoch said. “I remember getting put in a headlock. (They were) noogying us.”

f you ask one of the student managers for the Kansas men’s basketball team, they might tell you the hustle element doesn’t just exist between the whistles. In fact, they’d probably tell you it is required in every nook and cranny of the program, and this includes the laundry room.

During tournaments such as the 2015 Maui Invitational, where the Jayhawks play three games in as many days, it’s the managers’ job to make sure the laundry gets collected, sorted, washed, dried, hung or folded and then returned in time for the next game or practice. Often, the team hotels will offer the use of their industrial washers and dryers to handle such loads. Other times, they are unable to accommodate the team, such as during the Jayhawks’ last trip to Maui.

Imagine, if you will, the jerseys of Thomas Robinson, Tyshawn Taylor, Jeff Withey and the rest of the team spin cycling in a coin-op laundromat with the locals, which was the case in 2011.

Motive for attack on Colo. clinic unclear Obama laments death of Planned Parenthood victims, easy accessibility of ‘weapons of war’ Trevor Hughes and Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

Police were trying to determine Saturday why a middle-aged gunman in hunting gear allegedly went on a wild shooting spree inside a Planned Parenthood clinic, killing three people, including a police officer.

The suspect, Robert Lewis Dear, 57, of Hartsel, Colo., surrendered after a five-hour ordeal Friday in which the gunman fired randomly at people in the clinic and shot through walls with an assault-style rifle.

“We don’t have any information on this individual’s mentality, or his ideas or ideology,” said Lt. Catherine Buckley, spokeswoman for the Colorado Springs Police Department.

The dead officer was identified as Garrett Swasey, 44, a six-year veteran with the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs police force. He was one of many officers from the area who helped Colorado Springs police.

“The officer who gave his life today alongside the other officers put the lives of civilians in peril above his own,” the Colorado Fraternal Order of Police said via Twitter. “He died to save others.”

In a statement Saturday, President Obama said the suspect’s “so-called motive” was unknown, but what is known is that people, including a police officer, died and “more Americans and their families had fear forced upon them.”

“This is not normal,” Obama said. “We can’t let it become normal.

The names of the two civilians killed had not been disclosed, but they were not believed to include any Planned Parenthood employees. At least nine people were injured as the suspect shot randomly from the moment he appeared in front of the building.

During the lengthy standoff, police were able to reach numerous people trapped in the building, including some only yards away from the gunman, blocked only by office walls. Some had taken refuge in a “safe room” established in case of emergencies.

The clinic, which provides abortions and other reproductive health services, has been the site of numerous protests by abortion opponents, but it was not known whether Friday’s shooting was ideologically motivated.

TAYLOR , TEXAS

acky Ortega wants to be a lawyer someday. But first, she’s hoping her country’s most distinguished lawyers will help keep her family intact.

That fervent desire prompted the 15-year-old to join her parents recently on a three-day, 37mile trek from a fenced-in detention center for undocumented immigrants to the stately Texas governor’s mansion in Austin — with a break in between to attend school.

Like many of her classmates, Jacky is a U.S. citizen, born and raised in the United States. Others came into the country as children and could gain protection from deportation under President Obama’s executive actions.

But when Obama tried to protect more than 4 million undocumented parents of those children from the threat of deportation without going through Congress, Texas went to court and won, twice.

On Nov. 20, a year after that executive action was announced and in the middle of the bedraggled protesters’ march, the Justice Department asked the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court to intervene.

Unless the justices agree to hear the case and overrule the lower courts’ rulings, families like the Ortegas will be out of luck, along with about 750,000 other Texans. Jacky’s parents, Felipe and Maria, would not have the same protection as their daughter. Even her brother could be at risk.

“If they all got deported, I would be the only one here,” Jacky said as she headed west along Route 79. “It’s just sad to think about it. I don’t want that to happen, ever.”

Obama unveiled the program a year ago as an extension of his 2012 policy delaying the threat of deportation for about 770,000 undocumented immigrants

Hopes hinge on whether — and when — justices rule on bid to protect relatives of U.S. citizens

“If they all got deported, I would be the only one here.”

At least 9 die as storms, ice hammer Texas, Okla., Kan. Inch of ice on some roads over holiday Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

Fierce weather hammered Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma over the long holiday weekend, claiming at least nine lives as freezing rain caused accidents and floodwaters swept people from their cars.

Four people were killed in floods in North Texas, WFAA-TV reported. At least five others died as a result of accidents related to

ice storms in Kansas and Oklahoma, the Associated Press reported.

Ice accumulation was up to an inch thick in north-central Oklahoma on one of the nation’s busiest travel weekends. About 100 crashes were reported in the Texas Panhandle and southern Plains through late Friday.

“It’s a very dangerous situation when you get temperatures like that near freezing. The ice may look like it’s just water,” said Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist. “The fact is when ice is near freezing, it’s much slipperier than when it goes down near 20 degrees.”

Temperatures in Kansas and Oklahoma were forecast to remain at or near freezing through Saturday night. The storm likely was making it difficult for millions to get home Sunday after the long Thanksgiving weekend, AccuWeather reported.

Thousands were without power from downed lines in Oklahoma and Kansas, the AP reported.

A second band of wet weather was due to move through raindrenched Texas on Sunday, bringing an additional half-inch to 11⁄4 inches of rainfall, said Paul Walker, a senior meteorologist with AccuWeather. The state was likely to begin to dry out Monday as

“When ice is near freezing, it’s much slipperier than when it goes down near 20 degrees.”

the storm moves into the Central Plains and Midwest, he added.

Rainfall totals for Texas surpassed a 24-year record set at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, reaching well over 41⁄2 feet, or 55.91 inches, for the year.

The 1991 record was 53.54 inches.

Weather experts have predicted a wet year across the country because of a strong El Niño, a periodic warming of tropical Pacific

Ocean water that affects weather around the world.

“It’s been a pretty wet year across Texas with the El Niño pattern. There’s been lots of storms coming through in the Pacific and then they move across Mexico and into Texas,” Walker said.

Abortion debate for decades has been a lightning rod for violence Marco della Cava USA TODAY

Although the motives of the shooter in the deadly attack Friday on a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic remained unknown, the nation’s roiling abortion debate has long been a flashpoint for violence.

For decades, clinics and doctors that provide reproductive services including abortions have been targeted by everything from protests by organized groups to attacks by lone individuals.

In 1998, survivalist Eric Rudolph bombed clinics in Alabama and in Atlanta. In 2009, Scott Roeder killed George Tiller, a late-term-abortion doctor who had previously been shot in both arms and had his clinic bombed.

In 2013, Benjamin David Curell entered a Bloomington, Ind., clinic armed with a hatchet and vandalized the offices with red paint.

But 2015 has been an especially tense year. Shortly after opponents of abortion rights posted heavily edited videos in July that allegedly showed Planned Parenthood officials discussing com-

Scott Roeder was found guilty of murdering a doctor.

pensation for the sale of fetal tissue for research purposes, four of the organization’s clinics — in Thousand Oaks, Calif., Pullman, Wash., New Orleans and Aurora, Ill. — sustained arson attacks.

Congress reacted to the video firestorm with an investigation into Planned Parenthood funding, a topic that was quickly taken up by presidential candidates on

both sides of the political aisle. As the rhetoric escalated, the Federal Bureau of Investigation warned in mid-September that “it is likely criminal or suspicious incidents will continue to be directed against reproductive health care providers, their staff and facilities,” CBS News reported.

In Friday’s deadly rampage, a lone suspect identified as Robert Lewis Dear, 57, entered the Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains clinic in Colorado Springs at midday, armed with an assault-style rifle. The ensuing standoff with law enforcement ended later that night as Dear surrendered, leaving behind three dead — including one police officer — and nine wounded.

The videos released this summer by a group called the Center for Medical Progress include scenes of a woman identified as Mary Gatter, a Planned Parenthood medical director in California, discussing fees with people posing as buyers of fetal specimens. Planned Parenthood officials responded by saying that fees for procuring such tissue for research purposes were legal.

At least one reproductive

rights organization said it believes the group’s video releases are responsible for the recent spate of violence against clinics.

On Friday, National Abortion Federation CEO Vicki Saporta wrote in a blog post that ever “since a series of highly edited, misleading anti-abortion videos was released in July, we have seen an unprecedented increase in hate speech and threats against abortion providers.”

The most recent posting on the Center for Medical Progress site is from Friday and does not address the event in Colorado Springs. Rather, it features a video that purports to show a Texas Planned Parenthood doctor discussing harvesting fetal heads for brain tissue.

The root of the national struggle over abortion is the landmark 1973 Supreme Court case Roe v.

Wade, which granted women the right to decide whether to terminate a pregnancy. That ruling effectively divided the nation into passionate abortion rights advocates and opponents whose diverse regional strongholds continue to have a huge sway over national politics.

Montana has worst drivers, insurance study says Bart Jansen USA TODAY

As motorists shook fists at other drivers over the busy Thanksgiving holiday, a car-insurance group took away the guesswork and ranked the worst drivers in the country.

Montana retained its dubious title from last year of having the worst drivers, as ranked for several categories of traffic fatalities by CarInsuranceComparison.com, a site that allows people to compare insurance companies. Big Sky Country ranks tops for speeding, sixth for careless driving and eighth for failure to obey traffic laws.

“Montana has the potentially deadly combination of high speed limits and severe winter weather that could really be driving up fatality rates,” said Tyler Spraul, who directed the study for the website.

But New Mexico, which hadn’t ranked among the top 10 last year, leapt into a tie for second place with South Carolina. New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment, ranked fifth for careless driving and 10th for drunken driving, with troubling standings for speeding and failure to obey traffic laws.

“The rate of drunk driving should be a cause for concern among New Mexico residents, as their biggest change came in that category,” Spraul said.

The rankings are based on scores from fatal-crash statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Categories included fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled; the percentage of fatal crashes involving failure to obey traffic laws such as signals, wearing seat belts or driving with an invalid license; drunken driving; speeding; and careless driving for fatal collisions with pedestrians and bicyclists per 100,000 residents.

As the number of fatalities rose 8% during the first six months of 2015 compared with the same period a year earlier, NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind urged states to do more to discourage drunken and distracted driving and encourage the use of seat belts and motorcycle helmets.

The top 10 list for worst drivers: Montana, South Carolina and New Mexico tied for second, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Hawaii and North Dakota tied for seventh, then Delaware and Mississippi, according to the CarInsuranceComparison study.

Among categories studied, the top-ranked states: Montana for fatalities per million vehicle miles traveled, Louisiana for failure to obey traffic signals, seat-belt laws and having a driver’s license, North Dakota for drunken driving, New Hampshire for speeding, Florida for careless driving.

Opponents of protections fear competition for jobs v CONTINUED FROM 1B

brought to the country as children. The new plan would expand that program and add protections for adults with children who are U.S. citizens or lawful residents — “hardworking people who have become integrated members of American society,” in Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson’s words. Here in Texas, for instance, foreign-born residents represent roughly half of the construction workforce.

Johnson advised immigration officials to make dangerous or criminal undocumented migrants the top priorities for detention and deportation — not those with children who have led law-abiding lives. The executive action hung up in court would go further, making millions of parents eligible for federal work permits and a host of health care, disability and retirement benefits.

Immigrant rights groups say the new protections are important because not all immigration and customs officials follow the administration’s priorities.

“The families who are coming into our events — the fear in their eyes is very real,” said Carolina Ramirez of United We Dream in Houston. “Families are being deported.”

But Roy Beck, president of NumbersUSA, which advocates for lower immigration levels, said courts have not prevented Obama from setting priorities that go easy on immigrants who simply overstay their visas.

“The only reason he is taking this case to the Supreme Court is to make sure that millions of these illegally present foreign citizens get work permits to compete with struggling American workers for jobs and wages,” Beck said.

COURT’S CLOCK IS TICKING

U.S. District Judge Andrew Ha-

nen issued a preliminary injunction blocking implementation of the program in February. In May, the appeals court panel refused to let the program continue while it considered the government’s appeal.

In its ruling earlier this month, that panel’s 2-1 majority said Obama’s program would permit his administration “to grant lawful presence and work authorization to any illegal alien in the United States,” allowing them to receive benefits “solely on account of their children’s immigration status.”

Their ruling said the program “would dramatically increase the number of aliens eligible for work authorization, thereby undermining Congress’s stated goal of closely guarding access to work authorization and preserving jobs for those lawfully in the country.”

The Justice Department quickly asked the Supreme Court to take the case. In its brief, it said the appeals court ruling “will allow states to frustrate the federal government’s enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws” and “force millions of people ... who are parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents to continue to work off the books, without the option of lawful employment to provide for their families.”

Texas asked for a 30-day extension to respond until Jan. 20 because of a heavy workload involving other Supreme Court cases. Texas Solicitor General Scott Keller argued that a delay should not endanger undocumented immigrants whom the federal government doesn’t prioritize for deportation.

“The preliminary injunction does not require the executive to remove any alien, and it does not impair the executive’s ability to set priorities for determining which unauthorized aliens to remove,” Keller wrote.

A 30-day extension could make

the difference in whether the case — should it be granted — gets scheduled for the spring or next fall. The later timetable almost certainly would push the court’s ruling to 2017, after Obama has left office. If a Republican wins the White House, the program might never get off the ground.

“We’re hopeful that there is enough time for the Supreme Court to hear this case,” said Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center. “We will make every effort to make sure the justices understand that millions of people’s lives, especially children’s lives, are at stake.”

‘WE’RE BUILDING THE STATE’

Children were the focus of the march through the rolling farmland northeast of Austin to Gov. Greg Abbott’s white-columned mansion. Some of the undocumented immigrants who participated spoke only Spanish and would not agree to be fully identified because of their status.

Irma, 39, came from El Salvador more than a decade ago. Her 7-year-old daughter, a U.S. citizen, frequently clings to her for fear of separation.

There was Maria, 35, who crossed the Rio Grande on foot from Mexico eight years ago, the water up to her neck. Her family is equally divided by status: parents and 12-year-old son undocumented, while three younger children were born in America.

And there was Felix Enrique Jimenez, 39, a U.S. resident for 15 years sporting a black “Texas” cap. One daughter, 21, is eligible for the 2012 program; the other, 11, was born in the USA. If he could be protected from deportation to Mexico, Jimenez said, he could go back to school and boost his family’s finances.

“We’re here, and we’re building the state,” he said, “and we’re facing all this discrimination.”

‘El Chapo’ hunt stymied by laws

Mexico’s lack of ‘political will’ hurts capture of drug lord Paul Imison

Special for USA TODAY MEXICO CITY As the hunt for fugitive drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán intensifies, Mexican authorities recently announced they have confiscated a total of 11 planes, eight vehicles and six houses belonging to the kingpin in the past five months.

That’s likely just a fraction of the assets Guzmán has accumulated during his life of crime. The Sinaloa Cartel he oversees trafficks billions of dollars worth of narcotics to the U.S. every year, according to estimates from the Justice Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

The yawning gap between the seizures and Guzmán’s potential riches underscores a growing concern here: why the Mexican government can’t or won’t seize more of Guzman’s ill-gotten gains. The problem, critics say, is a lack of laws with teeth and the motivation to change that.

“Mexico is a weak state that has yet to form a political will around the implementation of such laws,” said lawyer Edgardo Buscaglia, who has addressed the Mexican Senate on asset forfeitures.

One issue is a 2009 law that was meant to give authorities broader powers to seize drug cartel members’ assets. Instead, the law allows only the attorney general — as opposed to local prosecutors — to confiscate assets, meaning that federal authorities are overburdened and cases routinely slip through the net.

The overall result is far fewer successfully prosecuted cases against organized crime — a total of 43 in the past six years in Mexico, about the same number neighboring Guatemala achieves each year, according to a Mexican Senate report.

The law also requires property owners to be sentenced before authorities can take their assets, delaying seizures by months or even years. Many cases collapse.

JORGE NUNEZ, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Mexican navy soldiers guard a checkpoint during the search for Joaquín Guzmán.

“In Mexico, they put a criminal in jail, and nothing happens.”

Antonio Mazzitelli, Latin American representative of the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime

“Attacking criminal groups financially by pursuing the properties and firms that provide them with financial and logistical support is an essential part of the fight against organized crime,” said Antonio Mazzitelli, Latin American representative of the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime.

“In Mexico, they put a criminal in jail, and nothing happens.”

Since 2007, the Treasury Department has banned 95 Mexican companies and hundreds more individuals linked to El Chapo’s drug empire from operating in the U.S. All continue to operate freely in Mexico, however.

Last year, an American grand jury indicted Ignacio Muñoz Orozco, the owner of a Mexican clothing chain, on money-laundering charges related to the Sinaloa Cartel. Orozco served as a higher-level official in the federal Social Development Ministry in the mid-2000s and has yet to be charged with a crime in Mexico.

“There are thousands of such cases that Mexican prosecutors decline to pursue,” Buscaglia said.

TRUMP DEFENDS RACIALLY CHARGED RETWEET Donald Trump stirred controversy last Sunday when he retweeted a graphic with inaccurate and inflammatory statistics asserting that blacks were responsible for the vast majority of murders of whites.

The erroneous information was sourced to a group that apparently doesn’t exist.

The GOP front-runner, however, defended himself on The O’Reilly Factor on Monday: “I didn’t tweet; I retweeted.”

“Bill, am I gonna check every statistic?” Trump asked O’Reilly, noting the vast number of followers who tweet at him.

“All it was is a retweet,” Trump later said. “It wasn’t from me.”

O’Reilly urged Trump to stay off the social media platform altogether. “You shouldn’t be tweeting. Don’t tweet,” he implored Trump, who countered that he liked Twitter because it allowed him to get his “point of view out there.”

A mortar attack on a United Nations base in northern Mali early Saturday left at least three people dead, including two peacekeepers, U.N. officials said.

Another 20 people were injured in the attack, which happened around 4 a.m. local time when rockets were fired at the base in Kidal, Mali, according to Olivier Salgado, spokesman for the U.N. mission in Mali.

At least four of the wounded had serious injuries. A contractor was also killed.

Ansar Dine, an Islamic extremist group with ties to al-Qaeda, claimed responsibility for the attack, AFP reported.

The terror organization receives support from al-Qaeda in

the Islamic Maghreb, according to the State Department.

The rocket fire came just eight days after 20 people were killed in an extremist attack on a luxury hotel in the Malian capital of Bamako.

Three Islamist groups, including two affiliated with al-Qaeda, claimed responsibility for the hotel assault.

The Kremlin issued economic sanctions against Turkey on Saturday over the shootdown of a Russian warplane, brushing off a fence-mending bid by Turkey’s president, who expressed regret over the incident and proposed a

meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Paris this week.

Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman, said Saturday that the president, in issuing the stiff economic penalties, “is mobilized, fully mobilized, mobilized to the extent that circumstances demand.”

“Nobody has the right to traitorously shoot down a Russian plane from behind,” Peskov told Russia’s “News on Saturday” TV program, calling the evidence by Turkey that purported to show the Russian warplane had violated Turkish air space “cartoons.”

— Doug Stanglin NEARLY 1,000 DENIED ENTRY TO FRANCE

About a thousand people have been denied entry into France since the deadly terror attacks in

Paris this month, the country’s interior minister said Saturday.

Tight border controls, additional border checks and more surveillance went into effect with a state of emergency declared immediately after the Nov. 13 attacks that left 130 dead at a concert hall, stadium and multiple restaurants and cafes in the French capital.

The state of emergency was extended for three months by the nation’s legislature.

“Since we brought back border controls, nearly 1,000 people have been denied entry to the national territory because of the risk they represented,” Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said in a speech in Strasbourg, AFP and Reuters reported.

Peshmerga forces and fighters enter the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar.

Kurds plead for more weapons against ISIL Sara Carter

American Media Institute SINJAR , IRAQ

Kurdish fighters ousted Islamic State militants from this northern Iraqi city this month but now say they need more bullets and weapons to keep the extremists from returning.

Kurdish soldiers and the People’s Protection Unit fighters, mainly Kurds from Syria, helped liberate the city on the Syrian border Nov. 13. The Kurds took control of the city after a U.S.-led coalition bombed several Islamic State targets.

“U.S. airstrikes were very helpful and they bombed all the ISIS points in a very effective way and made our task much easier, and we thank them,” said Gen. Ali Hussein, a Kurdish special forces commander, using an Islamic State acronym.

But “we need all kinds of weapons from light to heavy artillery,” peshmerga Gen. Shakr Hussein Hadj said. “Some of our weapons are so old, they stop working in the middle of the fight.”

“Some of our weapons are so old, they stop working in the middle of the fight.”

Gen. Shakr Hussein Hadj

During a visit to the front lines in September, Kurdish soldiers were seen carrying antiquated Russian AK-47 rifles older than they are. Grenades hanging from the commander’s waist belts were used sparingly because they are in short supply.

The Kurdish regional government in northern Iraq has complained that Baghdad has been slow to supply weapons and funds they are entitled to since the Islamic State invaded in 2014.

The U.S. government is providing weapons in the fight against the militants but insists they be distributed through Baghdad officials to bolster the central government and prevent Iraq from fracturing intro ethnic and religious pieces.

“My men have been fighting in one of the hottest sectors with very little support from the international community,” complained Brigadier Gen. Sirwan Barzani.

He noted that the Islamic State was using mustard gas, yet his troops had received only 300 gas masks for 7,000 fighters. The most reliable source of weapons, Gen. Ali Hussein said, is picking them up from dead Islamic State fighters.

ISLAMIC STATE’S REACH EXTENDS FAR FROM HOME

T

Oren Dorell l USA TODAY

he Islamic State claimed responsibility last week for a suicide bombing in Tunisia that killed 12 people in a bus carrying members of the presidential guard. The Tuesday attack was the latest to show the group’s expanding reach outside its home base, spanning territory in Iraq and Syria, where it wants to build an Islamic caliphate, or state. In several cases, radical groups have changed their name or pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS.

Here are other nations the militant group or its affiliates have targeted in 2015, according to multiple media reports: AFGHANISTAN The Islamic State launched attacks Sept. 27 in two Afghan provinces, killing dozens. Nine people were killed and dozens wounded when a bomb on a motorcycle exploded at a sports event in Paktika province. On the same day, 300 fighters allied with the group stormed government checkpoints in Nangarhar province. Nangarhar Gov. Haji Ghalib said it was the first coordinated attack by Islamic State fighters in Afghanistan. The group’s appearance in Afghanistan was heralded by a suicide bombing April 18 that killed at least 34 people in Jalalabad.

ALGERIA Militants of a group called Jund al Khilifa, which pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, posted video Sept. 24 showing the beheading of a French national. Herve Gourdel, a mountain climber, was abducted while hiking near the Algerian capital of Algiers.

BANGLADESH The Islamic State claimed responsibility for shooting and wounding an Italian priest Nov. 19, Agence France-Presse reported. The attack followed the murders of an Italian faith-based aid worker in September and a Japanese farmer in October and two clerics from the Baha’i faith and the Sufi Muslim sect earlier in November, which were also claimed by the Islamic State.

CAMEROON Four people were killed in Fotokol on Nov. 9 when a 14-year-old girl blew herself up at a mosque.

Security officials stopped a second female suicide bomber nearby before she could detonate her explosives, according to Cameroon Radio TV. Authorities suspect Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram, which has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.

CHAD Three people were killed Nov. 9 in two suicide bombings that targeted a public water tap and a mill,

both gathering spots in a village near the border with Nigeria, according to Chadian police spokesman Paul Manga. Chad has led the regional fight against Boko Haram.

Lebanese police and Hezbollah forces inspect the site of a twin suicide attack in the Bourj al-Barajneh suburb of Beirut on Nov. 13. against the group did not end.

Hamas destroyed a mosque belonging to followers of the Islamic State and arrested dozens of radicals suspected of links to the group after a series of unclaimed bombings, the Associated Press reported.

LEBANON At least 44 people were killed and more than 200 injured Nov. 12 in twin suicide bombings in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. The attack targeted a Shiite religious gathering in a southern suburb controlled by Hezbollah. Islamic State, a Sunni Muslim group, claimed responsibility.

LIBYA Islamic State militants took control of the city of Sirte, where they are among several groups vying to control a country with no central authority since May 2014. On Oct. 28, the group, which boasts about 3,000 fighters in Libya, killed several guards in the Es Sider oil terminal in a failed raid, Reuters reported.

KUWAIT A suicide bomber claimed by ISIL killed 27 people in a mosque during Friday prayers June 26.

NIGERIA At least 49 people were killed in two attacks Nov. 18 and 19 at markets in the cities of Kano and Yola.

The attacks were carried out by Islamic State affiliate Boko Haram.

KHALED DESOUKI, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

EGYPT Islamic State’s “Sinai Province” has claimed several attacks in Egypt, including a car bomb and shooting attack Tuesday that killed at least seven people at the Swiss Inn hotel in the northern Sinai city of Al Arish. It claimed the downing of a Russian airliner that took off from the southern Sinai resort of Sharm al Sheik, killing all 224 people aboard Oct. 31. On July 16, Islamic State militants fired a rocket at an Egyptian navy vessel, causing extensive damage. The group has killed hundreds of Egyptian soldiers in an insurgency since the country’s military deposed president Mohammed Morsi in 2013.

FRANCE A series of attacks in Paris at a soccer stadium, concert hall and restaurants left 130 people dead and hundreds injured Nov. 13 in the worst terror attack in the French capital since World War II. It followed multiple attacks in January claimed by rival al-Qaeda that left 17 dead, most of them at the Paris offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

GAZA STRIP/ISRAEL Islamic State militants in the Gaza Strip claimed responsibility for a rocket attack in May against Israel that failed to injure anyone. On June 2, the group threatened to retaliate against Hamas, the militant organization that governs Gaza, if a Hamas crackdown

Debris from the A321 Russian airliner litters the crash site in Wadi el-Zolmat, Egypt.

SAUDI ARABIA A suicide bomber claimed by the Islamic State killed four people May 29 outside a Shiite mosque in the port city of Dammam. On Aug. 6, another Islamic State suicide attack killed 15 people in a mosque inside a police compound in western Saudi Arabia, Stars and Stripes reported.

A tourist lays flowers in memory of the victims of a terror attack outside the Imperial Marhaba Hotel, in the popular tourist resort of al-Sousse, Tunisia, on July 3. Thirty-eight people were killed, including 30 Britons, on June 26.

TUNISIA A lone gunman killed 39 people, mostly tourists, at a Tunisian beach resort June 26, and attackers killed 22 people in the National Bardo Museum in Tunis on March 18. A suicide attacker used 22 pounds of explosives in Tuesday’s attack on the presidential guard bus, according to the Interior Ministry. All the attacks were claimed by the Islamic State.

TURKEY Two suicide bombings Oct. 10 killed at least 100 people at a peace rally in the capital Ankara.

Turkish investigators attributed the attack to a local branch of the Islamic State.

BUSINESS SURVEILLANCE MURDOCH TWEETS NEWS TIP uIn a nutshell: Rupert Murdoch, not often an outsider when it comes to knowledge of media deals, told the world Friday that he has “strong word” that Tribune Publishing’s newspaper group is going to be acquired and that it will split off the Los Angeles Times in the process, writes USA TODAY’s Chris Woodyard. uThe upshot: Media baron Murdoch, executive chairman of News Corp., which publishes The Wall Street Journal, tweeted that the newspaper group will go to a “big Wall Street firm.”

The Times, one of the nation’s largest and most prestigious newspapers, will be AFP/GETTY IMAGES sold to a group Murdoch of local investors that includes businessman and philanthropist Eli Broad, he said. uWho’s affected: Murdoch offered no other details or, in this case, tips, such as the identity of the expected buyer of the newspaper group, which includes the Chicago Tribune, Orlando Sentinel and Hartford Courant, according to Woodyard. There was no immediate comment from Tribune on the report. But Tribune has been making moves lately that are consistent with trying to maximize value of an asset before a sale, Woodyard writes. Tribune said recently that its workforce will shrink by 7% following a buyout of employees.

SAMSUNG GEAR VR Samsung, teaming with Facebookowned Oculus, is helping virtual reality take off with Gear VR. It costs $99.99, though you will have to purchase one of four Samsung flagship phones to make it work.

The beauty is that you can be someplace or be part of something that wouldn’t otherwise be possible, such as watching NBA basketball as if you were courtside.

Be aware though that fit, comfort and focus will be a challenge for some.

Samsung Gear VR with Oculus

The year in tech is winding down and consumers have a lot to be thankful for.

Smartphones got better, new software added dazzle to traditional computing systems, and there were advances in voice search, live broadcasting, wearable tech and virtual reality.

Here’s what left a mostly positive impression: NEW YORK

RICHARD DREW, AP

Panos Panay, Microsoft’s vice president for Surface Computing, displays a Surface Book on Oct. 6 in New York.

IPHONE 6S/6S PLUS The iPhone is still the standard by which other phones are measured. The iPhone 6S and its jumbo sibling the 6S Plus offer superb cameras that let you shoot 4K video, or capture Live Photos, in which 11⁄2 seconds of video is recorded before and after you shoot a still image.

A more significant advance comes through 3D Touch, a new feature built around a pressuresensitive screen.

The new iPhones also exploit the latest iOS 9 mobile operating system, which brings a bevy of mostly small but useful changes.

The 6S starts at $649, the 6S Plus, $749.

SAMSUNG

WINDOWS 10 The fresh new version of Microsoft’s venerable operating system represents a winning fusion of Windows past and present. Start with the newly revamped Start menu. Add Microsoft’s voice assistant Cortana, a new Edge Web browser, and universal apps that are meant to work across your tablet, PC, phone, even the Xbox, GOOGLE NEXUS 6P I’m a big fan of Google’s own Nexus 6P ($499 for 32GB, $549 for 64GB or $649 for 128GB), produced in partnership with Huawei.

The phone is fast, has a superior camera and is one of the few handsets to support Project Fi, Google’s own wireless service.

And it runs Marshmallow, the latest flavor of Android.

SURFACE BOOK Surface Book is Microsoft’s fast and powerful answer to Apple’s top-notch MacBook Pro laptop.

The first-rate keyboard and gorgeous 131⁄2-inch touch screen on Surface Book can be detached, transforming the Windows 10 machine into a large display clipboard. Alas, at $1,499 to up well past $3,000, it is going to cost you.

GOOGLE ONHUB The cylindrical, slate-gray OnHub from Asus is meant to be out in the open and not just because of aesthetics. By placing it in plain sight, you’ll likely see faster Wi-Fi throughout the house. At $219.99, you will pay more than for most routers.

DXO ONE The cameras in recent vintage smartphones have gotten really good. But they’re not that good.

The digital-image-processing company DxO has delivered a clever $599 palm-size DSLR-capable camera that connects (a tad awkwardly) to the Lightning connector on an iPhone.

ROBERT DEUTSCH, USA TODAY

Embedded in Amazon Echo, personal assistant Alexa can respond to commands.

AMAZON ECHO Alexa, the voice inside Amazon Echo, has made great strides.

Echo is a 9¼-inch-tall Bluetooth speaker that resembles a container for a small, rolled-up poster and that responds to your own voice commands. Alexa can play music on request, read an audiobook, deliver news, sports scores, traffic and weather or handle your To-Do list.

PERISCOPE In March at the SxSW conference, Meerkat pretty much put livestreaming on the map with technology that let anyone become an instant broadcaster from his or her smartphone. Soon, though, Meerkat’s Twitter-owned rival, Periscope, captured the fancy of the general public, as well as that of a number of celebrities.

ONE SMART PIANO The $1,499.99 One Smart Piano is a great way to learn. This digital wooden upright has 88 weighted keys. But what makes it stand out is that you can connect an iOS or Android device and watch video tutorials as you play.

The video lessons, as well as the interactive sheet music, are synchronized so that LEDs above the keys you are meant to strike at that moment light up.

APPLE WATCH Apple Watch isn’t a perfect product.

Phone calling from the wrist isn’t great. There’s a learning curve. Battery life could be better.

It still relies on the phone in your pocket.

And yet Apple Watch, $349 to —yikes — $17,000, is the first smartwatch to truly matter. Apple Watch is the most fashionable.

There’s broad app support. I really like using Apple Pay. I’ve grown accustomed to notifications on the watch and appreciate that I can dictate a response by voice.

It’ll be worth watching how it and other products on this list improve further in 2016.

APPLE WATCH Easily the most hyped new tech product of 2015, the Apple Watch was the poster child for the wearable tech category. It does have its fans who like wrist notifications and workout tools such as a heart-rate monitor and step tracking.

EPSON ECO PRINT Consumers hate being gouged on ink refill charges, right? Epson unveiled a new way: Pay more upfront for your printer, say $400 instead of $100, and you’ll get cheaper ink that will last you longer, or up to two years, Epson claims.

In the end, consumers will spend even more money. The two-year refill on the ECO tank is $49.99, bringing the total to $450.

A standard Epson printer is available on Amazon for $89.99, and if you factor in two ink refills yearly at $63.88 apiece, for two years, the grand total comes to $345.

Who does Epson think it’s kidding?

PERSONAL FINANCE It’s RMD time for IRAs, so get figuring PDQ What goes up, must come down.

And what goes in, must come out.

That’s certainly the case with your individual retirement arrangement, otherwise known as your IRA. Generally, you have to start taking a minimum amount — it’s called a required minimum distribution or RMD — from your IRA, SIMPLE IRA, SEP IRA or retirement plan account when you reach age 70½.

If you own an inherited IRA, you’re required to take RMDs as well. (Roth IRAs, by the way, don’t require withdrawals until after the death of the owner.)

So, that’s the easy part. Own an IRA, turn 70½ and take a RMD. The hard part? All the rules and traps for IRA owners who have to take RMDs. Here’s what experts say those subject to RMDs should do and/or know.

Robert Powell

Special for USA TODAY

REQUIRED BEGINNING DATE FOR YOUR FIRST RMD

You must take your first RMD by April 1 of the year following the year in which you turn 70½, regardless of whether you are still employed. The rules differ for defined contribution account owners; they — in some cases — can wait until they retire.

“A person’s first RMD must be taken by this time,” says Jeffrey Levine, a certified public accountant and IRA technical consultant with Ed Slott and Co. “However,

if they wait until the year after they turn 70½ to take their first RMD, up to April 1, they will have to take two RMDs for that year. One

by April 1 for the prior year and another by Dec. 31 for the current year.”

And that’s something to avoid, says James Shambo, president of Lifetime Planning Concepts. It will increase your tax bill and possibly push you into the next highest marginal tax bracket.

But since you might not know the best course of action in advance, Shambo suggests preparing a two-year tax projection to determine the optimal timing of the first two distributions.

One tricky part about your required beginning date, or RBD, is this: “70½ results in different be-

ginning distribution ages depending on the month a person is born,” Shambo says.

If born in the first six months of the year, a person turns 70½ in the year they turn 70. If born in the last six months of the year, a person turns 70½ in the year they turn 71. “This is important since the RMD is calculated by dividing the prior year-end account balance by the ‘person’s age’ at the end of each distribution year,” Shambo says.

CALCULATING YOUR RMD

The RMD for any year is your account balance as of the end of the preceding calendar year divided by your life expectancy factor, which can be found in the IRS Uniform Lifetime Table at irs.gov/pub/irstege/uniform_rmd_ wksht.pdf.

DATE FOR SUBSEQUENT RMDS

ALEX KALINA, GETTY IMAGES/ HEMERA

Robert Powell is editor of Retirement Weekly, contributes regularly to USA TODAY, The Wall Street Journal and MarketWatch. Got questions about money? Email Bob at rpowell@ allthings retirement.com.

After the first year for RMDs, all future RMDs must be taken by Dec. 31. Given that, add this to your year-end to-do list: In November or early December, take your RMD and make sure it’s the correct amount, Levine says.

Jean-Luc Bourdon, certified public accountant and principal at BrightPath Wealth Planning, says it’s easy for retirees to forget to take their RMD. “Checking or double-checking is important this time of year,” he says.

If you’re worried about taking the correct RMD each and every year, set up an automatic RMD plan with your IRA custodian.

In many cases, your custodian will calculate your RMD and send you a check for that amount on the date you designate. Have your custodian do this in November so you have

time to correct any mistakes.

WHAT IF YOU DON’T TAKE YOUR RMD?

Speaking of mistakes, if, for whatever reason, you forget to take your RMD, try to fix this mistake immediately, Levine says. “Take all back RMDs as quickly as possible,” he says.

And then file IRS Form 5329 for each year missed. Levine’s advice: Attach a note explaining the reason why the RMD was missed — bad advice, health issues and the like — and indicate that your RMDs will be taken timely in future years.

Of note, failure to take a required distribution results in a 50% penalty based on the distribution not made, Shambo says.

“If, however, a taxpayer corrects the error as soon as it is discovered by making the distribution and reporting the income, they can request the penalty be waived,” he says.

“I have never seen this not waived as long as the taxpayer reacted and corrected immediately upon discovery.”

WHAT ABOUT RMDS AFTER THE ACCOUNT OWNER DIES?

What happens to RMDs after the account owner dies is a bit complicated. In general, if a person other than a spouse inherits an IRA, they must generally begin taking RMDs by Dec. 31 of the year after the year of death, Levine says.

“Checking or doublechecking is important this time of year,” JeanLuc Bourdon says.

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR RMD

If you don’t need your RMD for living expenses, consider ways to put your RMD to good use: Fund a grandchild’s 529 college savings account or re-invest the money in your IRA or Roth IRA if you qualify to do so.

CHECK YOUR BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS

Careful: Taking two RMDs in one year may boost your taxes, James Shambo says.

While checking and double-checking all things RMD, year’s end is a good time to review the beneficiary designations on your retirement accounts and, Bourdon says, to consider giving someone power of attorney over the accounts.

Says Bourdon: “With cognitive decline being part of retirement risks to mitigate, it is helpful to have someone ready to swing into action if needed.”

Beat crooks to the punch:

START YOUR TAX RETURN NOW Russ Wiles

The Arizona Republic

The waning weeks of the year present opportunities to take actions that might help save money on your 2015 tax bill, such as making deductible contributions to charity or harvesting moneylosing stocks. Now also might be a good time to start preparing your income-tax return.

You read that right — it’s not too early to start certain preparations for tax returns that won’t be due until April.

On the surface, that seems like a crazy notion. You can’t actually file a return this early — the Internal Revenue Service won’t begin accepting returns until sometime in January. Nor do you possess the W-2s, 1099s and other documents you’ll need. Those won’t be mailed out by employers, banks and other entities until early next year.

But depending on how complex your situation is, you might be able to get some of the supporting paperwork and calculations done early — compiling year-to-date charitable contributions, adding up medical expenses and crunching numbers on rental properties or freelance businesses or sorting through other transactions to see which ones might have a taxable impact.

If you rely on a professional taxreturn preparer, you might be able to schedule the first available appointments for next year.

But why bother to undertake even these preliminary steps with April still months away? To thwart potential tax-refund thieves, of course.

One takeaway from an identity-theft conference held recently

in Phoenix is that speed matters.

Much grief can be avoided if you can file and collect your tax refund before the bad guys do.

Eventually, legitimate taxpayers will receive their tax refunds — even in cases of fraud — but it’s best to avoid the stress, hassles and delays if you can.

Melissa Richardson, an insurance agent in Michigan, recounted the hassles she faced after her refund was snatched. When she filed online in mid-March 2014, she was expecting about $1,100. But then she got the notification that a return already had been filed under her Social Security number and the refund taken by someone in the Miami area.

“The quick refund I was expecting was anything but,” she said.

She spent 15 to 20 hours on the phone with the IRS, including waits of up to two hours at a time. She had to fill out forms establishing her identity and needed to file new tax returns — on paper.

This type of white-collar fraud has grown at a brisk rate, with more-sophisticated criminals now getting involved. “For organized criminals, this is the crime of choice,” said Adam Levin, chairman and founder of IDT911, which organized the conference.

Aside from safeguarding personal information and making sure you’re dealing with a reputable return preparer,

Thieves file fake returns to hijack people’s refunds.

They succeed when they get it all done before the real taxpayer files.

one of the few remaining advantages that taxpayers have is speed.

Crooks seeking to steal refunds do so by filing fake returns in the names of other people while requesting that the payments be diverted to their own accounts. They succeed when they can get all this done before the real taxpayer files. So if you can beat the crooks to the punch and file as early as possible, you improve your chances of deflecting this danger. If you have all your supporting tax paperwork ready by January, rather than March, April or later, you’ll be ready to go when W-2s and other tax documents arrive in the mailbox (or via e-mail alerts).

The roughly 30% of individuals who don’t expect a refund typically prefer to wait to file so they don’t have to make tax payments sooner than required. That’s a legitimate reason to delay, but it needs to be weighed against the rising odds of becoming a taxfraud victim. It’s also possible you might not receive certain tax documents from providers until much later in the year, such as K-1 schedules from partnerships.

The IRS has devoted more manpower and effort to thwarting tax-fraud risk, and much of it has been successful. According to a study by the Government Ac-

countability Office, the IRS stopped $24.2 billion of fraud in 2013 but failed to prevent another $5.8 billion that went to criminals. The IRS is devoting more manpower to fighting ID theft.

Yet the tide hasn’t yet turned.

“It has become a very international scheme,” said Shawn Tiller, executive director of refund crime for the IRS’ criminal investigations unit, speaking at the Phoenix conference hosted by IDT911. Tax-refund crooks have become more sophisticated and, because many are based outside the U.S., they’re not easy to extradite, he said.

Richardson, the tax-fraud victim, says one lesson she learned is that preparation and speed are important. “It took over a year and a half to clear my name,” she said. “I filed my taxes as early as I could this year, to beat anyone else to it.”

Levin at IDT911 said taxpayers can improve their odds by safeguarding Social Security numbers and other personal information as much as possible. But given the high number of data breaches over the years, a lot of that information already is in the hands of criminals, he noted.

“All (crooks) need is a date of birth, a Social Security number and a name,” Levin said. “Then they doctor up a W-2, and they’re off to the races.”

Levin, author of Swiped, a book on identity theft, also said it’s important for consumers to monitor incoming tax-related mail in January, making sure mailboxes are secure and inquiring about W-2s and other documents that are slow to arrive. Then taxpayers should get moving.

“Consumers need to get their information as quickly as possible and file as quickly as possible,” he said.

That might require a little added effort in the weeks before tax season actually gets going.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK RYAN WILLIS IS STOOD UP on third-and-one by Kansas State for a one-yard loss during KU’s 45-14 loss Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Setback ends KU’s 0-for-2015 season

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

One of the worst Bill Snyder teams of the 2000s walked into Memorial Stadium on a cold, dreary Saturday afternoon needing a victory against its Sunflower State rival to keep its bowl hopes alive.

There waiting on the other sideline was a familiar old friend — mistake-prone and overmatched Kansas University.

As has become customary in this one-sided rivalry, Kansas State jumped all over the Jayhawks early and barely even had to break

a sweat en route to a 45-14 run-away victory in front of an announced crowd of 23,842, half of which was wearing purple.

The victory pulled the Wildcats (5-6 overall, 2-6 Big 12) within a game of becoming bowl-eligible and proved to be the final stamp

on one of the most forgettable KU seasons in the 115year history of the program.

Kansas finished 0-12 overall and 0-9 in the Big 12, becoming just the second team in school history to finish a season winless (1954) and the first Big 12 team to fail to win a game since the in-

ception of the conference in 1996.

“I’m certainly not proud of it,” first-year KU coach David Beaty said. “It isn’t something you think about.

But we don’t have time to dwell on it. It is what it is.

Improvement won’t come overnight An offensive line takes years, not months, to develop. One wide receiver with near-world-class speed can make such a difference for an offense, but those guys are too obvious for the Baylors and the Oklahomas to miss.

Adding an edge pass tkeegan@ljworld.com rusher to twin with promising Dorance Armstrong of shut-down cornerbacks would make an immediate in the same class certainly difference. Recruiting a pair would speed up the pro-

cess, but that’s no easy assignment.

Barring a phenom-filled recruiting class, a rarity in college football, where players at most positions must learn to crawl and then walk before soaring, it’s going to take time for Kansas University’s football program to become competitive in games, much less the standings.

“You’ve got to look at the

fact that you’ve got to get a little better before you can get a lot better,” first-year head coach David Beaty said after his team finished an 0-12 season with a 45-14 loss to Kansas State, winner of the past six games of the series.

KU volleyball sweeps finale ————

Senior Driskill helps Jayhawks roll over Texas Tech

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SOPHOMORE AINISE HAVILI DIVES TO MAKE A DIG while teammates Cassie Wait, left, and Ashlyn Driskill watch during KU’s sweep of Texas Tech on Saturday at Horejsi Center.

Ashlyn Driskill’s five-kill, one-error performance on Kansas University volleyball Senior Day — which included her unleashing a cannon of a serve in a 3-0 sweep of Texas Tech — might have surprised a few fans Saturday in sold-out Horejsi Center.

The 6-foot Valley Center native has been out of the spectators’ sight much of the season because of a torn UCL in her elbow.

“You saw today what we get to see every day in practice,” KU coach Ray Bechard said of the effort from the senior outside hitter, who transferred to KU from Wichita State (where she was third on the team in kills last season) for her final year of collegiate eligibility.

“She was dealt a little bit of a bad hand with the elbow injury. It took 60 to 70 percent of the season. But this kid ... she showed up every day. She showed our team how to handle adversity, how to be a positive team-

mate, how to create opportunities for our team each and every day. She is a really good volleyball player,” Bechard added, “but a better teammate and person. We were lucky to have her.”

Driskill graduated from WSU in three years with a chemistry degree and has designs on attending med school. But first, she has some unfinished business with her KU volleyball teammates, whose 25-19, 259, 25-23 rout of Texas Tech Please see VOLLEYBALL, page 3C

Schwartzel leads at Alfred Dunhill Malelane, South Africa — Charl Schwartzel will take a three-shot lead into the final

round of the European Tour’s season-opening Alfred Dunhill Championship after a 2-under 70 moved him to 13 under par on Saturday.

Schwartzel has returned to form at one of his favorite tournaments, which he’s won three times before along with four second-place finishes.

The South African is ahead of French pair Benjamin Hebert and Sebastien Gros at Leopard Creek Country Club.

Schwartzel, the 2011 U.S. Masters champion, had opened a five-shot lead after two rounds.

He was pegged back by a bogey on his opening hole on Saturday but that was the only dropped shot of his round.

Kansas women Raiders end Baker’s run stumble at SMU

By Chris Duderstadt

cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Baldwin City — Southern Oregon University’s football team entered Saturday’s NAIA quarterfinal matchup with Baker ranked second in the nation in third-down conversions at 52.2 percent.

The No. 7 Raiders showed that the stat was not a fluke when they defeated the No. 2 Wildcats, 24-19, at Liston Stadium behind timely third-down conversions by quarterback Tanner Trosin.

“There were multiple times where we could have made a play and decided the outcome,” Baker coach Mike Grossner said. “That’s a good football team, and they made about two more plays than we did. The opportunity was there, and our guys know that.”

Trosin set the tone with touchdown drives to begin both halves.

With Southern Oregon pinned at its one-yard line to begin its first possession, Trosin completed two passes on third-andlong to Jeremy Scottow on the way to a 99-yard scoring drive.

“He’s done it all year,” Grossner said. “He’s a good quarterback. He’s kind of a gunslinger and makes those plays.”

SOU running back Melvin Mason capped the drive with a one-yard touchdown run and added another score of 19 yards in the second quarter to help the Raiders to a 1410 edge at the half. Mason rushed for 89 yards on 19 carries, but the Wildcats’ primary focus was to contain Trosin, who was SOU’s leading rusher going into Saturday.

The BU defense did limit Trosin to 46 rushing yards, but the SOU quarterback’s best run did not show up in the box score.

On third-and-13 from the Baker 40, Trosin eluded several BU defenders in the backfield before launching a 60-yard

BAKER UNIVERSITY WIDE RECEIVER DAMON NOLAN (9) IS DRAGGED DOWN FROM BEHIND

by Southern Oregon University defender AJ Cooper after a long gain by Nolan during Southern Oregon’s 24-19 win in the NAIA quarterfinals Saturday in Baldwin City. touchdown pass to Matt Retzlaff on the Raiders’ first drive of the second half.

“I thought that was the biggest play of the day,” Grossner said. “I think about five or six guys had him wrapped up.”

The Wildcats (11-2) kept Trosin and the SOU offense in check after that — holding the Raiders to three points the rest of the way — but enough damage had been done.

Baker sophomore quarterback Logan Brettell rallied the Wildcats late, scoring on a six-yard touchdown run with 2:55 left to pull Baker within 24-19. The Wildcats had two shots at a two-point conversion after Brettell was hit late to draw a SOU personal-foul penalty, but BU fullback Alex Stebbins was stopped on the second attempt.

“We finally got a latehit call, which we had been waiting for all game.

Since the trainers came out on the field, I had to come off the field,” Brettell said.

“We just got stuffed on that play (Stebbins’ run), and that was a big turning point in the game.”

The Raiders (10-2) were able to run out the clock

after a defensive-passinterference penalty on fourth-and-seven with 1:30 remaining. Baker did not have any timeouts remaining, so Southern Oregon went to victory formation.

“We just didn’t have enough time on the clock,” senior linebacker Tucker Pauley said. “I think if we would have had more time on the clock, we would have had the chance to give the offense the ball back and win the game.”

Trosin and Brettell finished with comparable numbers in the showdown of mobile quarterbacks. Trosin completed 19 of 30 passes for 261 yards, the touchdown to Retzlaff and first-half interceptions to Pauley, Darrian and Winston.

Pauley and Winston both rank in the top 10 of the NAIA with six and seven interceptions, respectively.

“We saw some tendencies with how they lined up their receivers,” Pauley said. “Coach (Jason) Thoren (defensive coordinator), he caught on to a couple of things, and he was yelling it from the sidelines and put in a very great call. It just hap-

pened that when I turned, the ball was in my face.”

Brettell, who filled in for an injured Nick Marra for the second straight week, was 22-for-35 with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Quanzee Johnson and one interception.

“They were really sound and disciplined and were really driving in on our slants all game, so we hit them with a double move,” Brettell said of his touchdown pass to Johnson. “I laid it out for Q, and he made a great play.”

While the second home playoff loss in three years stung for the Wildcats, Grossner already has high hopes for 2016 with a large contingent of his roster returning.

“We’ll learn,” Grossner said. “We have five, six seniors that were starting for us, but we have some guys who played behind them that have a lot of experience.”

Dallas — Don’t be surprised if the Kansas University women’s basketball team was in a foul mood after losing to SMU, 7364, in the final of the SMU Thanksgiving Classic.

Because it was fouls, more than anything, that led to the Jayhawks’ second loss of the season.

Kansas committed 31 personal fouls — both Aisia Robertson and Chayla Cheadle were disqualified — and five Jayhawks ended up with at least four fouls. Kansas fouls led to 35 trips to the free-throw line for the host Mustangs.

SMU converted 30 of those charity attempts, outscoring Kansas by 16 points at the line.

Cheadle came off the bench to lead the Jayhawks offensively, posting a season-high 17 points on 50 percent shooting and a team-high seven rebounds.

Junior forward Caelynn Manning-Allen recorded a career-high 14 points on 4-of-6 shooting from the field to earn all-tournament honors.

It took the Jayhawks nearly three minutes to make their first field goal, after turning the ball over on their first four possessions.

A layup from Cheadle at the 7:11 mark put Kansas on the board, but in the meantime SMU ran out to a 9-0 lead behind McKenzie Adams.

Kansas had the answer, as Cheadle’s layup sparked an identical run, capped by a three-point basket from fourth-year junior Timeka O’Neal to tie the game at nine before the first media timeout of the quarter.

But SMU went back to work in the final five minutes of the quarter as the Jayhawks went cold. The Mustangs scored 13 points after the media timeout while Kansas shot 0-for-8 from the field.

Kansas dug itself into a 19-point hole at halftime, trailing 43-24. Five Jayhawks headed into halftime with three fouls, and head coach Brandon Schneider was forced to scramble his lineup.

capped the best regular season in school history.

The No. 9-ranked Jayhawks — who will find out at 8 p.m. today (Selection Show on ESPNU) who they’ll be playing next weekend in NCAA Tournament action, almost certainly in Horejsi — finished the regular season with a sparkling 26-2 record. The only two losses were to Texas.

KU went 14-2 in Big 12 play and finished second, a game behind the Longhorns and three games ahead of third-place Iowa State.

“Everyone is super pumped in the locker room, celebrating, cheering, but we all know we’re not done yet. We’re focused,” Driskill said of the NCAA Tournament.

Of what she witnessed from this team in the regular season, she said: “Great teamwork, first of all. We started on a strong note (undefeated in nonconference play).

Everyone was willing to keep working to get better. I think that’s what made a difference. If we play together, play well and connect, there’s no stopping us, I feel like,” added Driskill, not one to sulk about her injury which put a dent in her own playing time.

Kansas finished with a 38-18 advantage inside the lane.

Layups from Aldridge and freshman guard Robertson left the Jayhawks trailing by only four points. After a timeout, a three from Kylee Kopatich concluded a 7-0 run.

Anna played very well.

For those guys in the last regular-season match to play like that was great to see,” Bechard said.

“We are all sisters for life,” Richmond, Texas, native Dockery said, speaking to the fans after the match. “It’s been a great opportunity to play here with so many people around you who support you and want you to do so well. It makes you feel so good inside. It brings out your confidence and makes you want to do things you probably never thought of.”

Of this so-far dream of a season, Dockery said: “We sold this place out for every conference match. We had our best regular season ever, and we aren’t done yet.”

Win means ‘awful lot’ for KSU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Saturday’s 45-14 victory over Kansas University at Memorial Stadium marked the 20th win in 24 tries against the Jayhawks for Kansas State coach Bill Snyder.

But even with all of those wins, beating his Sunflower State rival does not appear to be getting old for the 76-year-old Snyder.

“It means an awful lot,” Snyder said. “I have been on the other end of it, and so you don’t like that. I appreciate all the people in the state of Kansas. Everybody

has a side, and it means a lot to so many people. It means a lot to KU people, just like it means a lot to Kansas State people, so therefore that makes it very meaningful to me for that reason, because our people care so much.”

Snyder was far from the only one wearing purple celebrating Saturday’s blowout win by the Wildcats. Fiftyone players on the KSU roster call the Sunflower State home, and 17 of those 51 players have made starts for KSU this season. One of those, junior quarterback Joe Hubener, a native of Cheney, played a huge role in the Wildcats’

easy victory over the Jayhawks on Saturday.

Hubener finished 10-of17 passing for 133 yards and added 88 yards and two touchdowns on the ground on 17 carries.

“It is huge, being a Kansas kid,” Hubener said of the victory. “This is the game you always look forward to.

This is the game you want to win more than any other game. And seeing the governor in the locker room presenting the Governor’s Cup, that’s huge. It’s a good feeling for me personally and I think for the rest of the team as well.”

The Governor’s Cup will be returning to Manhattan, where it has resided for the past seven years. KU’s last win over the Wildcats in this series came in 2008, 52-21 in Lawrence, during the Jayhawks’ last winning season.

Since then, KSU has won seven consecutive Showdowns by an average score of 45-13. The Wildcats’ 45 points Saturday were just the fifth-most in a game during the current winning streak. KU’s 14 points marked the third-highest total scored by Kansas during that same stretch.

HOW THEY SCORED

Kansas

KANSAS SENIOR TRE’ PARMALEE (11) SCORES KU’s first TD. KSU punt rush, and the Wildcats took over at the KU 12. One Winston Dimel run later, K-State led 7-0.

Kansas tied the game at 7 on what was its only really impressive drive of the game when quarterback Ryan Willis hit senior Tre’ Parmalee with a 27-yard TD with 11:15 to play in the first quarter. That was where KU’s ability to keep up with Snyder and company ended.

Dimel scored on a one-yard run to cap K-State’s second offensive series, and Sam Sizelove’s block of a second Wyman punt attempt ended with Morgan Burns recovering the loose ball for a touchdown in the end zone.

Just like that, KSU led 217, and the lead ballooned to 35-7 by halftime.

“It absolutely affected (us),” Beaty said of the early punting problems. “But we had a lot of football left to go. That’s not an excuse, but realistically, did it? Absolutely. I think it played a big role in that game early.”

And so ended a season in which Kansas and Beaty were forced to deal with some of the most damning and detrimental obstacles thrown at a KU team in recent memory.

The Jayhawks played with just over 60 scholarship players, nearly a full recruiting class short of the allowed limit of 85. Injuries knocked KU’s top three

quarterbacks from the lineup, forcing Beaty and offensive coordinator Rob Likens to turn to true freshman Willis much earlier than anyone would have liked.

And players who arrived in Lawrence as walk-ons just happy to get a chance to suit up at the Big 12 level became starters and valuable rotation players.

There were close calls, spirited efforts and impressive quarters. But they were few and far between.

Whether it was Saturday’s sad showing against a sub.500 team or previous losses to Top-10 teams with College Football Playoff aspirations, the Jayhawks were heavy underdogs weekly and often played like it.

All of those highs and lows led to the perfect completion of the imperfect season and, finally, Saturday, a series of questions about the goose egg in the win column.

“I think it just speaks for itself,” senior tailback Taylor Cox said. “There’s nothing you can really say. We’d love to get some of those games back that were close, but you can’t. You just have to learn from it.”

Added Smithson, who was asked if he saw a season like this coming: “No. Never in a million years. It’s frustrating, because we put all that work in, and we don’t have any wins to show for it.”

First Quarter 13:09 — Winston Dimel 12 run. Jack Cantele kick. After Kansas went threeand-out on its first series, punter Matthew Wyman fumbled the punt snap and was slammed to the ground before he could get the punt off. The Wildcats responded with a TD run on their first play from scrimmage. (KSU 7, KU 0).

11:15 — Tre’ Parmalee 27 pass from Ryan Willis. Matthew Wyman kick.

Kansas responded to the early mishap with a six-play, 79-yard drive that featured three completions from Willis and a 26-yard run by Taylor Cox that moved Kansas into K-State territory.

(KSU 7, KU 7).

7:48 — Dimel 1 run. Cantele kick. On its second possession, KSU marched 73 yards in seven plays and 3:20, with six of the seven plays being designed runs. The lone pass was a 44-yard pass from Hubener to Dimel, who was pulled down at the one before finishing off the drive on the next play. (KSU 14, KU 7).

6:30 — Morgan Burns 0 punt return.

Matthew McCrane kick. After KU’s third possession began with a first down on the first play, the Wildcats dug in and forced a Kansas punt.

For the second time in the quarter, though, KU struggled mightily on special teams, and the punt was blocked

by Sam Sizelove and scooped up in the end zone by Burns. (KSU 21, KU 7).

1:30 — Glenn Gronkowski 8 run.

McCrane kick. Wyman finally got a punt off cleanly, but it only traveled 30 yards and set up K-State at the Kansas 37 yard line. Three plays later, the Wildcats were back in the end zone on a fullback run that blew the game open. Hubener rumbled 29 yards on the second play of the drive to set up the TD. (KSU 28, KU 7).

Second Quarter 11:29 — Joe Hubener 2 run. McCrane kick. The Wildcats blew the game open despite a strong goal-line stand by Kansas. After Dimel set KSU up with a first-and-goal at the one-yard line, KSU went backwards on three runs before Hubener capped off the 12-play drive with an easy run around the right side. The drive covered 54 yards and 6:19. (KSU 35, KU 7).

Third Quarter 8:18 — McCrane 33 field goal. The Wildcats continued their scoring barrage on the opening drive of the second half, marching 59 yards in 13 plays and 6:42 to add to their lead.

Runs made up nearly all of KSU’s initial second-half scoring drive. (KSU 38, KU 7).

Fourth Quarter 13:20 — Hubener 22 run. McCrane kick. K-State’s longest drive of the day was capped by a parting-of-the-redsea moment by the Kansas defense, which vacated the middle of the field and left all kinds of running room for the KSU QB. The drive covered 91 yards in 11 plays and 6:06. (KSU 45, KU 7).

3:28 — Bobby Hartzog Jr. 26 pass from Willis. Wyman kick. The Jayhawks capped the scoring with a 16-play, 93-yard drive that took 6:23 and featured several Willis completions. Hartzog’s TD catch came on a deep route down the left sideline, and the sophomore lunged for the ball just as he broke free from the K-State defender near the goal line. (KSU 45, KU 14).

KANSAS’ MARCQUIS ROBERTS, RIGHT, AND FISH SMITHSON ARE UNABLE TO KEEP KANSAS STATE JUNIOR QUARTERBACK JOE HUBENER (8) out of the end zone during the Wildcats’ 45-14 victory on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

NOTEBOOK

Punter takes blame for mishaps

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

A pair of punting problems played a huge role in Kansas University’s 45-14 football loss to Kansas State on Saturday at Memorial Stadium, and Kansas punter Matthew Wyman took full blame for both.

The first hiccup, which came on the end of KU’s game-opening three-andout possession, featured Wyman dropping the snap and getting rocked by the K-State rush as he tried to recover.

Two possessions later, with the bobbled snap still in his mind, Wyman made sure to look the ball all the way into his hands, and that gave the Wildcats the extra time they needed to block the punt and pick up an easy touchdown.

“It just wasn’t my day punting, I guess,” Wyman said. “I don’t know if I wasn’t focused mentally or what. I’m gonna take the blame for it.”

Added KU coach David Beaty of the momentumchanging special-teams miscues: “We haven’t had a punt blocked all year.

That’s disappointing to end the year with the punt being blocked in a game, as much time as we put into it. That might be one of the most disappointing things that I’ve experienced as a coach this year. I know our staff feels the same way and the kids do as well. I don’t think I saw that one coming.”

Botched punts aside,

really did that. It was amazing. Our seniors did such a good job of managing it, that it never got remotely close to that point.

I was absolutely amazed, to be honest with you.

I’ve been a part of some tough seasons, and I’ve seen it teeter, and it takes some real leadership to get it done. I believe our seniors really did a nice be job. We’re going to miss those guys for their leadership as much as anything. That was big.

don’t get to pick first, they generally pick last.

That doesn’t mean another 0-12 season awaits Kansas, not with Rhode Island on the schedule for the seasonopener. The Rams went 1-10, including losses to Albany, New Hampshire and Towson. Ohio University (8-4), a tough out under Frank Solich, also visits Memorial Stadium in a game that could go either way. KU wraps its 2016 nonconference schedule with a trip to Memphis, which loses its most talented players and coach Justin Fuentes.

Not a likely victory, but not impossible. Plus, the Iowa State game is in Lawrence. A two-victory season is the most likely outcome, and three is not a major reach.

Slow growth tends to have more staying power, and Beaty will have to show better discipline in avoiding the quickfix, graduate-transfer approach he relied too heavily on this season.

Linebacker Marcquis Roberts was worth losing a scholarship that could be used on a high school recruit because he’ll be a two-year starter.

Defensive tackle Corey King had just one year of eligibility remaining, and he was good enough to start, but not good enough to make an 0-12 team a 1-11 one. Receiver Joshua Stanford, who had gone on a four-game leave of absence at Virginia Tech, proved a bad gamble, catching three passes when he tuned in and suited up.

Most first-year Big 12 football players are afforded the luxury of spending an entire year training vigorously in the weight room without having to worry about preparing for games. Kansas had so many true freshman playing games that they won’t resume intense daily weight-room work until Monday. That puts them a little behind, but the ingame lessons they learned more than compensate.

Three true freshmen started on offense Saturday: wide receiver Jeremiah Booker, left guard Larry Hughes and quarterback Ryan Willis.

Classmates Steven Sims, a wide receiver, and Clyde McCauley, an offensive tackle, also were regulars. Texas A&M transfer LaQuivionte Gonzeles, who could be KU’s fastest receiver, will be eligible for two years. Beaty’s staff will need to recruit talent to compete immediately with Ke’aun Kinner, who led the team with 566 rushing yards. Especially since Willis is not a running quarterback, KU will need to upgrade its running-back stable, which for the first time in a long time is thin.

Defensively, scoring a major recruit such as Lawrence High’s Amani Bledsoe would change the outlook from Day One and into future years.

More depth also is needed at defensive tackle. Roberts, Dineen and Baker University transfer Keith Loneker Jr. combine to make linebacker one of the team’s most solid positions next season.

Recruiting ready-to-playnow cornerbacks would enable Tyrone Miller to move to his more natural position of safety.

And then there is the kicking game, which on Saturday was responsible for a fumbled punt and a blocked punt, delivering K-State 14 of its points.

KU can’t go into yet another season without a field-goal kicker trusted to make 40-plus-yard kicks. Finding one can’t be as hard as multiple Kansas coaching staffs have made it look.

Things can only get better from 0-12, but a lot better overnight? That’s not how it works.

No. 2 Alabama 29, Auburn 13 Auburn, Ala. — Derrick Henry ran 46 times for 271 yards, and Adam Griffith kicked five field goals to propel Alabama to the SEC West title.

Griffith emerged as an Iron Bowl hero for the Crimson Tide (11-1, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) two years after his last-play attempt touched off the Tigers’ winning Kick-Six play. Henry, meanwhile, just did more of the same against Auburn (6-6, 2-6).

No. 13 Stanford 38, No. 4 Notre Dame 36 Stanford, Calif. — Kevin Hogan threw four touchdown passes and drove Stanford to the game-winning 45-yard field goal by Conrad Ukropina.

Hogan threw for 269 yards and calmly led the winning drive in the final

30 seconds for the Cardinal (10-2, No. 9 CFP), who kept their slim playoff hopes alive with the win.

Stanford needs to beat Southern California in the Pac-12 championship game next week and then get help in the other title games to make the fourteam playoff.

DeShone Kizer had given the Irish (10-2, No. 6 CFP) a one-point lead on his two-yard run with 30 seconds left, only to see Hogan drive Stanford to the win.

No. 6 Michigan St. 55, Penn St. 16 East Lansing, Mich. — Connor Cook and Michigan State rolled into the Big Ten title game with their most emphatic win of the season.

Cook threw three touchdown passes in his return from a shoulder injury, and the sixth-ranked Spartans wrapped up a division title with a rout of Penn State. Michigan State will play unbeaten Iowa for the conference title next weekend, with the winner in good position to advance to college football’s playoff.

Michigan State (11-1, 7-1) is No. 5 in the selection committee’s ranking.

The Buckeyes (11-1, 7-1 Big Ten, No. 8 CFP) have won 11 of the last 12 games in what has become a lopsided series.

Elliott’s performance came a week after he was held to 12 carries for 33 yards against Michigan State, then criticized the team’s play calling and said he will skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft.

Niners play down comments

by Cardinals DB Mathieu Santa Clara, Calif. (ap) — Arizona Cardinals defensive back Tyrann Mathieu made waves this week with comments about San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks Colin Kaepernick and new starter Blaine Gabbert.

“We just knew Kaepernick’s tendencies.

We knew what he liked to do,” Mathieu said in a conference call with Bay Area reporters.

“And you don’t pick up those same things from Gabbert. He’s better in the pocket. He has a better feel for coverages. It seems like he can get to the line, see a coverage and then go to a different play.”

Fullback Bruce Miller responded, “I don’t care nothing about Tyrann Mathieu saying nothing.”

Arizona’s third-

ranked defense intercepted four of Kaepernick’s passes in a 47-7 victory in Week 3, including two returned for touchdowns.

Mathieu was responsible for two of those turnovers, and scored on a 33-yard return on San Francisco’s second possession.

Kaepernick was benched in favor of Gabbert before a game against the Falcons Nov. 8. San Francisco won that game, 17-16, before falling in Seattle, 29-13 after a bye week in Gabbert’s second start.

In two games, Gabbert is averaging 46 more yards passing than Kaepernick, completing his throws at a higher percentage, and has three touchdowns passes. Kaepernick had six in eight starts.

Kaepernick was placed on season-ending injured reserve before last week’s loss to Seattle and underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder.

With Kaepernick no longer an option this season, the 49ers downplayed criticisms of their former starting quarterback heading into the game with the leaders of the NFC West.

“I think (Mathieu’s criticism) comes along with film study throughout the week,” center Daniel Kilgore said. “As offensive linemen, we pick up tendencies of defensive linemen. I guess that’s with every position. I’m sure some guys are easier to disguise, just like how some defenses are.”

Chiefs getting boost from returning stars Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — This is the time of year when just about every team in the NFL, including the Buffalo Bills, is forced to deal with mounting injuries from the constant grind of practice and games.

Makes life for the Kansas City Chiefs seem charmed right now.

During their four-game win streak, the Chiefs have benefited from some of their biggest stars finally getting back to speed. Derrick Johnson is resembling a Pro Bowl linebacker again after he tore his Achilles tendon last season, while Eric Berry likewise looks like a Pro Bowl safety less than a year removed from a cancer diagnosis that required chemotherapy.

While they were still behind early this season, Johnson and Berry are back to anchoring a defense that has helped Kansas City (5-5) climb back into the AFC playoff picture heading into today’s game against the Bills (5-5) at Arrowhead Stadium.

“You’re seeing guys that are getting healthy and you’re seeing guys that are back now playing with us,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “But it’s not the end of the season, so we’ve got to keep building. We’re not near what we can be. We can be better than we are now.”

The way things are going, that’s a bit hard to believe.

Wins over Pittsburgh and Detroit were a good start, but it was a 29-13 blowout in Denver that

raised eyebrows. Then last week, Kansas City beat San Diego, 33-3, in another dominant performance.

A performance that caught the attention of Bills coach Rex Ryan.

“They’ve blown some teams out,” he said. “They got as good a pass rush — you know, a great pass rush, combined with tight coverage. And then offensively they can make plays.”

Sure, the Chiefs lost Jamaal Charles to a seasonending knee injury. But it helps that they have mostly been healthy, at least compared to the Bills these days.

DE Mario Williams is sidelined by a foot injury and DT Kyle Williams by a knee injury, depriving Buffalo of two of its best pass rushers. Throw in knee trouble for defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and the Bills nearly had to use offensive lineman Richie Incognito on defense last week.

Then there’s quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who took a wicked shot to his right shoulder in the second half of Monday night’s loss to New England. Taylor did not throw in practice earlier this week, but he insisted that he’ll be ready to play today.

“Definitely was hurt.

Had pain in it,” Taylor said, “but I’m a competitor, so I’m going to go out there and play.”

Both teams stressed the importance of today’s game. The Chiefs and Bills are knotted in the crowded AFC wild-card race.

W

ith the holiday season upon us — and the madness of Black Friday behind us — you won’t find a shortage of artsy gift options here in Lawrence.

We thought we’d illustrate where in town to find locally made gifts for any kind of art lover.

From ceramics and jewelry to books and theater, we’ve got you covered.

For more ideas, check out our online event calendar at LJWorld.com/events (the holiday season is packed with arts and craft fairs, including the Van Go Adornment Holiday Art Sale, going on now until Dec. 24).

Wonder Fair 841 Massachusetts St. What to buy: The whimsical gallery and store specializes in moderately priced gift items (embroidered patches, stationary and Harry Potterthemed pencils, to name a few options in the way of stocking stuffers) as well as Lawrence-centric creations like Patrick Giroux’s Landmark Print Series (the locally produced designs feature iconic buildings and emblems of the city), priced around $30.

If you’ve yet to send out holiday cards, Wonder Fair also boasts a varied selection of handcrafted paper goods made by local artists for about $5 each.

On the higher end of the price range, Wonder Fair co-owner Meredith Moore suggests the $100 membership to the shop’s art-supply co-op. The one-time fee includes lifetime membership (with “a really cool” membership card to make it official), discounts and coupons, and artist workshops and demonstrations.

Made 737 Massachusetts St. What to buy: Jewelry. Made carries tons of it, from the Kansas City-based Lost and Found Design.

Their Royals-themed laser-cut wood necklaces and earrings, priced at $12 and $16, have been popular lately, says Made co-owner Matt Richards. And, for the bookworm in your life, literary pendant necklaces from Tonya Williams’ JosabelleStudio in Rantoul. The pieces, which feature quotes from famous authors, are priced around $20.

Other options include more Kansas-y prints by designer Virginia Merritt (you can find her at Eudora’s Indie Olive), plus handmade ornaments, tea towels and candles, all made in-state.

40 years of insight into movie history KU professor’s new book an anthology SCENE of interviews with legendary filmmakers STEALERS

W

hen Kansas University Professor John Tibbetts began interviewing international movie directors, cinematographers, editors, composers and others behind the camera, he always had an eye on the future.

“I intended from the outset to bring these conversations into my classrooms. I never saw them as merely subjects for television/radio broadcasts,” Tibbetts says.

“No, I had much broader ambitions for them.”

Tibbetts’ new book, “Those Who Made It: Speaking with the Legends of Hollywood,” has just been published and it contains insightful interviews that span nearly 40 years of his career as an author and journalist.

Some of the filmmakers he spoke with are at crucial career turning points, while others are reflecting on their work in the classic years of cinema — such as sound man Bernard Brown, whose pioneering work on “The Jazz Singer” in 1927 helped it become the first American film with synchronized dialogue.

The cover features a photo of Steven Spielberg directing Whoopi Goldberg in “The Color Purple,” and Tibbetts’ interview with Spielberg was conducted in 1985, just as the popular director had left genre fare behind in favor of more “serious” material. Another fascinating interview from 1985 features Terry Gilliam, angry but recently victorious, as he had just won a battle with Universal Pictures to release his cut of his masterwork “Brazil.”

Speaking of angry young men, Tibbetts spoke with first-time director Michael Moore during the release of his breakthrough 1989 General Motors documentary “Roger & Me,” and found the provocateur already thinking about the bigger picture of an out-of-work America, insisting it wasn’t just a problem for his hometown of Flint, Mich.

“It’s happening all over. We need to pay attention,” says Moore in the book. “If there are just a few wealthy people and a whole lot of poor people, well that’s just not good. It’s not good for society. All of the social problems that come along with it are going to get bigger unless we address this inequality.”

The book is overflowing not just with timely subjects, but the vast well of knowledge of its author. Whether it’s a “quickie” for Kansas City CBS affiliate KCTV5 or an in-depth discussion for American Classic

Find Movie Listings at: lawrence.com/ movies/listings

Screen film journal, Tibbetts always directs the conversation to unique topics. When pressed to name some favorite exchanges in “Those Who Made It,” Tibbetts is characteristically effusive, naming legends like Bernardo Bertolucci, Robert Altman, Ray Bradbury, Phillip Glass and more.

“I still chuckle when I recall how somebody like [“Mad Max” direc-

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com tor] George Miller, who comes across as so bizarre in his personal appearance and in his

films, is in reality so entirely normal,” Tibbetts says. “As for Jim Henson, I weep every time I think of the wonderful humanity that exuded from the man, and how tragic was his untimely demise.”

“Those Who Made It” is available now through publisher Palgrave Macmillan, and at Amazon. com.

— Eric Melin is the editor-inchief of Scene-Stealers. He’s a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and president of the Kansas City Film Critics Circle.

KANSAS CITY CONNECTION

By Lucas Wetzel

Arts and crafts shows offer unique gift ideas

E

very year around Thanksgiving, my family members and I reach a group decision not to buy gifts for each other aside from one “Secret Santa” name drawn from a hat.

Everyone is on a budget, and we all agree that we don’t really need any more stuff. But by the time Christmas rolls around, that pledge is pretty much forgotten.

You get a small gift for one family member, then don’t want to leave someone else out, and the whole thing snowballs from there.

So the past few years I’ve found a compromise and tried to A) shop small, and B) buy as many gifts from local artists and craftspeople as possible. No, it’s not going to save Western Society, but it’s more fun than desperately clicking around Amazon’s Deals of the Day. Next weekend in Kansas City, several independent holiday arts and crafts fairs will give shoppers and arts fans a chance to check out a wide variety of items for purchase.

The largest is the fourth annual Holiday Swing event, which features over 85 handmade and vintage vendors, food trucks, live music, a photo booth and a kids craft area sponsored by the local Dare to Dabble art studio.

showcases contemporary student artwork from the departments of ceramics, digital filmmaking, fiber, graphic design, illustration, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture. Students’ open studios will be located throughout the campus, and the H&R Block Artspace at 16 E. 43rd St. will be open throughout the weekend.

The event at KCAI runs from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m.

Gift options include ceramics (from functional dishware to large, sculptural pieces) by local artists Anne Egitto and Alan Brummell, to name a few. Jewelry (crafted

by Rachael Sudlow, Zee Galliano, Lana Grove and others) runs the gamut from trendy to timeless, with a price range of $15 up to $1,500.

Bob Gent’s colorful, hand-blown glass ornaments are one of the gallery’s most popular gift items, with hundreds being sold every year.

They’re priced at $10 to $25.

6 E. Seventh St. What to buy: The downtown shop is a big supporter of local authors. Raven owner Heidi Raak offers a few recently released recommendations, all penned by Lawrence writers:

Nonfiction ‘Images of America: Lawrence,’ by Virgil W. Dean This slim volume from longtime Lawrence historian and Washburn University adjunct assistant professor Virgil W. Dean documents the town’s history, spanning its abolitionist beginnings to the rapidly changing mores — and local identity — over the past 150 years, illustrated with the help of historical photos dating back to Quantrill’s Raid.

Fiction ‘The Curse of Jacob Tracy’

by Holly Messinger Messinger’s debut novel (due in store Tuesday) follows the adventures of

Jacob Tracy, a Civil War veteran whose curse — he can see dead people — has cost him everything, including his family and very nearly his sanity, in 1880s St. Louis.

Jacob’s powers flourish after taking on a paranormal job from the wealthy yet secretive Miss Fairweather, whose meddling eventually lands Jacob in trouble with elements more ancient and sinister than any ghost.

Poetry ‘Deep City’ by Megan Kaminski This “delicate” offering from Kaminski, an assistant professor of poetry at Kansas University and founder/ curator of the Taproom Poetry Series, explores desire and longings “‘feudal,’ futile and refined,” Jennifer Moxley endorses, illustrating “how our sense perceptions insistently puncture through even the most rational arrangement.”

A CROWD GATHERS AS KEGS OF BEER are unloaded in front of a restaurant on Broadway in New York City, the morning of April 7, 1933, when low-alcohol beer is legalized again. The new book “Drinking in America: Our Secret History” recounts the many vital and decidedly less hilarious ways booze has influenced our country’s most noteworthy moments,

SOBERING HISTORY ‘Drinking in America’ shows how our country was shaped while under the influence

By Angela Lutz Tribune News Service

If you’ve watched “Drunk History,” the Comedy Central series in which someone gets a little tipsy before recounting important events from United States history, you already know alcohol can play a humorous role in the retelling of our collective story as a nation.

However, in “Drinking in America: Our Secret History,” Susan Cheever recounts the many vital and decidedly less hilarious ways booze has influenced our country’s most noteworthy moments, from the Pilgrims’ beer-soaked arrival on the Mayflower to Richard Nixon’s volatile presidency.

Early on, Cheever sets the timeline for America’s bipolar relationship with alcohol, from being deemed the “drunkest country in the world” in the 1830s to the Prohibition era a century later.

She notes that “the American Revolution, the winning of the Civil War, and the great

burst of creativity in American literature in the twentieth century were all enhanced by drinking.”

Of course, she is quick to acknowledge the “dark side” of alcohol, a subject that carries personal significance for Cheever, as she herself is a recovering alcoholic.

One subject the book tackles is our romanticized fascination with the alcoholic writer, a list that includes William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and many others in the canon of American literature.

Cheever does not shy away from the way liquor devastated these men’s lives.

“Although drinking may seem to be an aid to writing for a few ephemeral years, it almost always turns on the writer — eating away talent, which leads to inferior and

even embarrassing work, and shutting off the flow of genius. … Drinking did terrible damage to these writers and their families, and it may have done a subtler and more serious act of destruction on the American ideal of a writer’s life.”

Equally fascinating is Cheever’s look at Nixon’s presidency. Disparagingly called “our drunken friend” by his aides, Nixon had a notoriously low tolerance for alcohol that led to many potentially disastrous orders. National security adviser Henry Kissinger took on the role of “dancing around the president’s homicidal, drunken orders” to bomb or nuke this place or that — orders he frequently did not remember giving the next morning.

“President Richard Nixon, with a drunkenness that

was both secret and hidden, brought this country to the brink of World War III and changed forever the way we view our government,” Cheever writes.

That’s not to say “Drinking in America” is all recklessness, hangovers and regret.

Cheever repeatedly acknowledges the tavern’s role as a central point of the social and political activity in early American communities, playing a vital role in defining the tenacious, rebellious spirit that helped create our nation, for better or worse.

Throughout the book, Cheever addresses serious subjects with casual and at times humorous prose, making this book surprisingly fun to read. You won’t find this booze-filled version of American history in any textbooks, but as with any good barroom conversation, you’ll learn just as much.

In the spirit of “Drunk History,” you might find yourself sharing some of Cheever’s revelations after a few glasses of wine this holiday season.

PBR Book Club reviews John Darnielle’s ‘Wolf in White Van’

T

he PBR Book Club has been one of the hippest literary clubs around Lawrence for the past four-plus years. Starting in September 2011, the club has met regularly at bars in town to discuss popular fiction works, often pairing up with Read Across Lawrence selections, and their membership has grown by the dozens.

As a special year-end treat on Shelf Life, we wanted to invite this boisterous book club to review their latest selection, John Darnielle’s “Wolf in White Van.” Enjoy! lll

“Wolf in White Van” is the debut novel by singer-songwriter John Darnielle, best known for his work as the founder and frontman of he Mountain Goats.

The novel examines the inner mind of Sean, a reclusive man who suffered from a disfiguring accident as a teen.

During his recovery he creates an elaborate text-based fantasy game, “Trace Italian.” The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic land-

scape, where the end goal is to gain access to a safe fortress located in Kansas, the Trace Italian.

The game gives Sean structure for his life, and allows him to interact with players from around the world, giving him (he believes) an insight into their lives. When two of the players take the game too far, Sean is forced to examine his own life and reflect on what brought him to this point. Was it his childhood obsession with the barbarian fantasy lands? Or perhaps something on a deeper level?

The novel’s progression mimics the play style of “Trace Italian,” and the novel often includes

passages from the game itself.

Key facts are revealed piece by piece, and as in the game, Darnielle emphasizes the long term consequences that individual choices have on all potential future paths.

The decisions between available options which are laid out so clearly in the game, are only visible to the protagonist retrospectively.

What we thought of it: As a songwriter, Darnielle is known for his ability to write lyrics with a strong literary bent — short stories in musical form that often involve darkness, emotional pain and fantasy elements. He applies this sensibility to great effect in “Wolf in White Van,” with lyrical

prose used to tell a story that feels deeply personal, and even mimics some details of the writer’s own life.

That’s not to say everyone loved this book.

PBR Book Club members had mixed feelings about the many digressions into the gameplay of “Trace Italian” throughout the novel. Some found them excessive and skipped them, while others enjoyed these fantastical sections, especially for their setting in and around small towns of Kansas.

“Wolf in White Van” is a highly internal novel, (most of the book takes place in Sean’s head, hospital room or apartment). It was described as both “existentialist” and “objectivist” at the book club meeting.

However, there are a few powerful emotional scenes that do reach through the overall distant tone and affect readers. Particularly, the

book hits deep emotional territory in exploring the collateral effect of rash, thoughtless actions, and how families — particularly parents — search for blame or extra meaning outside of themselves in their grief.

Overall, PBR Book Club gives “Wolf in White Van” 4 Tall Boys out of 5.

Signed Lee novels offered for $1,500 New York — How much is a signed Harper Lee novel worth? Her publisher is offering a special edition of “Go Set a Watchman” for $1,500.

HarperCollins Publishers announced Wednesday that 500 collector’s editions are available — leather bound with gold foil stamping, inside a velvet-lined cloth box. HarperCollins told The Associated Press that Lee, 89 and in frail condition, signed the books during the past few months.

Prices on eBay for signed Harper Lee books range from $1,000 for an anniversary edition of “To Kill a Mockingbird” to $15,000 for a signed and inscribed first edition of her Pulitzer Prize winning novel.

“Go Set a Watchman” is the unexpected second book by the press-shy author and has been on best-seller lists for much of the year despite mostly negative reviews and simmering doubts that Lee was fully aware of the book’s release.
