KTA: Solving technology, data issues ‘pretty tricky’

T

he Kansas Turnpike Authority says it’s making progress in meeting a federal mandate for all state toll highways to be “inter-operable” by next year, but it can’t guarantee it will meet the Oct. 1 deadline.

“Despite the fact that the interoperability mandate was a little

loose in certain areas, we are working diligently on agreements with other states and agencies,” KTA spokeswoman Rachel Bell said, adding that KTA hopes to have more information available by the middle of next year.

The mandate was included in a federal highway funding bill enacted in 2012 known as the “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act,” or MAP-21.

The inter-operability provision would enable drivers who automatically pay tolls in their home states through an electronic transponder such as K-Tag to use those same transponders on any toll highway in the country.

One problem, Bell said, is the federal legislation doesn’t specify exactly how the systems are to be Please see TOLL, page 2A

Emily Hampton, executive director of Sunrise Project, said she and David Millstein, a Lawrence businessman who leads Central Soyfoods, have received an “outpouring of support” about their combined efforts. Yet, a few residents of the Barker neighborhood, as well as two commissioners, had concerns about the tofu production operation — and about the potential for other industrial projects to take over the property in the future.

“I think the Sunrise (Project) part of it, I think what they do is wonderful; I’ve gone to their fundraisers before,” Commissioner Lisa Larsen said. “However, this intensifies the use of the property from what it was, and that really concerns me — the potential.”

The land near 15th and New York streets previously belonged to the Sunrise Garden Center, which, according to city documents, was built in 1926 and annexed to the city in 1956. Because the surrounding area was zoned as residential, the garden center was considered a nonconforming use.

Sunrise Garden Center closed in late 2013 and has remained vacant.

The proposed plan from Sunrise Project and Central Soyfoods, collectively “Sunrise Green LLC,” includes two 2,400-square-foot food production facilities — one for Central Soyfoods and the other for Baldwin Citybased Optimal Living, a “boutique production kitchen.”

Those behind the project hope to attract producers to use the Sunrise Garden Center greenhouses for growing micro greens and seedlings.

According to a project report compiled by city planner Mary Miller, there is a party interested in constructing a 2,000-squarefoot seed house at the location. The remaining property would likely be converted to gardens.

The city received a handful of letters of support for the project from nearby residents, and the rezoning got a unanimous recommendation of approval from the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission.

The rezoning was placed on the City Commission’s

in statehouses around the country, where at least 31 governors, almost all of them Republican, have taken actions based on stated security concerns to block the resettlement of Syrian refugees in their states.

“As faith leaders, we seek to honor Scripture’s call to protect the refugee and the immigrant,” said Kurt Rietema, a pastor at Pathway Community Church in Olathe. “As it is written in the Hebrew Bible, ‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them.

consent agenda, but Larsen pulled it off for discussion.

“I’m concerned whether this is really a good idea to change zoning to this extreme, smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood,” Larsen said.

Commissioner Matthew Herbert and some neighbors who spoke Tuesday agreed with her concerns.

“I would argue that putting a factory in a neighborhood changes the character of that neighborhood,” said Jane Gibson, a resident of the Barker Neighborhood.

But others who spoke Tuesday argued Central Soyfoods, currently located off Haskell Avenue, was too small to qualify as a factory.

“I sure wouldn’t call it a factory,” said Dennis Brown, president of the Lawrence Preservation Alliance. “It’s a very low-intensity use where it is right now.”

The debate about the facility will likely be continued at City Hall.

Scott McCullough, city planning director, said the rezoning would not give Millstein authority to move forward with the production plant.

Instead, any plans for the tofu and tempeh production

facility or the seed house would have to go through the process to obtain a special-use permit. That process requires a public hearing and approval from the planning commission and the City Commission.

Mayor Mike Amyx said concerns about future use of the site could be mitigated by putting restrictions on the project when it comes before the commission to receive a special-use permit.

A vote of 4-1 would have been required to deny the rezoning and the planning commission’s recommendation.

It passed 3-2, with a stipulation that city staff determines whether it could remove a piece of the rezoning that would allow the property to be used for a telecommunication tower.

Hampton told the Journal-World in late November that if the rezoning were approved, Sunrise Project could start offering programming at the location by next summer.

It’s unsure when Central Soyfoods would apply for a special-use permit to relocate its production facility. Millstein could not be reached by phone Wednesday.

yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.’”

The petitions were signed by more than 1,800 faith leaders around the country, including about 350 in Kansas, who are urging Brownback to rescind his executive order, Rietema said.

David Livingston, pastor at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Lenexa, said at least 35 Methodist congregations in Kansas have signed on to sponsor at least one Syrian refugee each, if they are allowed to do so. But he said Brownback’s executive order is raising fear that if they do, they could lose access to state funding for other faith-based social services they provide.

“There are lots of organizations that work with churches that could have

funding jeopardized,” he said. “If a governor, like Gov. SUBSCRIPTIONS: 832-7199 Brownback who’s been outDidn’t receive your paper?

Some residents there have been fighting a proposal for a small bar and bistro to be installed in a small stone building near the corner of Eighth and Pennsylvania streets. There has been concern the use could become too much of a bar.

Williams said his group already has had preliminary discussions with the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association and is working to assure the group that it plans to run a neighborhood-friendly establishment.

“We’re not going to be a night club,” Williams said.

“We’re probably looking at a closing time of 10 p.m. on weeknights and midnight on weekends.”

If the city approval process goes well, Williams said, he hopes to have the project up and running by early September.

But defense attorney Blake Glover argued that Walker and Robinson did not break into the apartment but went there to buy marijuana from Roberts, thus nullifying the felony murder charge’s underlying felony of aggravated burglary.

In approximately two months, Douglas County’s pilot recycling program has collected well more than 8 tons of recyclable materials from rural county residents, the county’s sustainability office said.

The program began in late September as a way to bridge the gap left by the closing of WalMart’s recycling center at 3300 Iowa St. last fall, said Eileen Horn, Douglas County’s sustainability coordinator.

“There was a real void after Wal-Mart left,” Horn said. “I can’t even tell you how many positive emails we’ve gotten from citizens about this program.”

The program uses containers provided by Honey Creek Disposal Inc. to collect singlestream recyclables (mixed paper, plastic, metal and glass) at four drop-off locations: l Prairie Moon Waldorf School, 1853 East 1600 Road, Lawrence. l Vinland Fair Parking Lot, 711 East 1750 Road, Baldwin City.

Gardner mayor to challenge Republican senator

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Gardner Mayor Chris Morrow announced Wednesday that he will run as a Democrat against Sen. Julia Lynn, ROlathe, in the 9th District of Johnson County.

Morrow said in a telephone interview that he is running because of what he called Morrow a “crisis of confidence” in state government.

“Gov. (Sam) Brownback and his allies, including Sen. Lynn, in the Legislature have created uncertainty with disastrous Lynn policies regarding taxes, education funding and health care accessibility,” he said. “They have pillaged the state’s

transportation program to try and fix it. I think this is creating a crisis of confidence across the state and the way people see us across the country.”

Morrow is the third sitting Democratic officeholder in recent weeks to announce plans to challenge an incumbent Republican in the Senate.

He follows Saline County Clerk Don Merriman, who announced in the 24th District against Sen. Tom Arpke on Tuesday; and Oxford school board president Don Shimkus, who announced in the 32nd District against Sen. Steve Abrams Nov. 18.

Morrow is a Navy veteran who has lived in the southern Johnson County area for 10 years. He has

Engineers to begin planning replacement of rural county bridge

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

An engineering firm working for Douglas County will begin planning an estimated $630,000 rural bridge replacement project for late 2016 or early 2017.

During their Wednesday meeting, county commissioners gave CFS Engineers, the firm contracted by the county, the nod to begin working.

The Lawrence-based firm was selected after a Nov. 4 commission meeting at which the Department of Public Works was given the green light to begin soliciting bids from area firms.

CFS Engineers was contracted by the county on an hourly basis, with a total cost not to exceed $40,990, said Chad Voigt, deputy public works director. That cost is included in the total estimated cost for the project and is a part of the county’s capital improvement plan.

“That estimate

“The total that they’ve seen is 8.6 tons of recycled materials, which is awesome,” Horn said. “I’m pretty thrilled. I think that really bodes well for the success of the program.”

The Wakarusa and Vinland drop-off locations are by far the most popular, said Honey Creek manager Randy Weldon.

Initially each site was scheduled for one pickup a week to take recyclables to be processed by N R Hamm Inc. at the Honey Creek facilities, but Wakarusa and Vinland are so popular they need to be picked up two times each week, Weldon said.

“It’s really exciting to know we kept all of that from the landfill,” Horn said. “It speaks volumes about our community that people asked for this and they’re participating really responsibly. It’s a great win-win.”

Horn said it’s possible rural residents stockpiled their recyclables after Wal-Mart closed. This could be a reason for the high numbers at the outset of the program and it could mean that the number of

includes all of the other costs,” Voigt said. “Like design costs or if we have to widen the right-of-way or move utilities or other things we might run into.”

The bridge — one of 151 in the county — is located at 64 East 550 Road, about 15 miles west of Baldwin City. It was originally built in 1935 and repaired in 1972, but now it’s due to be replaced, Voigt said.

A similar bridge replacement project was completed this October on Route 1055 north of Baldwin City, Voigt said. That project had a considerable impact on local traffic, but the upcoming work is in a much less populated area and should impact traffic much less, he noted.

Once plans for the project are set, the department will go back to the commission to ask for permission to start seeking contractors, Voigt said.

Commissioners meet at 4 p.m. each Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. recycled materials may decrease in the future.

But taking a look at the numbers over the weeks, Weldon said he doesn’t think the program is going to slow down.

“It’s hard to say because sometimes you think it’s going to taper off,” he said.

“But we haven’t seen it taper off at all and we’re on our second month.”

Looking at the numbers, Weldon said he anticipates the tonnages and number of participants will only increase.

“I think it will grow,” he said. “I don’t know if it will definitely need more sites, but I could see needing more containers over time.”

Horn said the county plans to keep the program going for another four months or so before making any major changes.

Waiting about six months should give the county a decent idea about the recycling needs of rural residents and enable them to tweak the program as needed, Horn said. But so far, the program looks like a success.

“The plan at this point is to continue the programs and as things even out a little bit we’ll have a better sense and be able to reassess and see if we need more bins, or bins at different locations or how we can optimize the program,” she said. “But to know that people are recycling responsibly is really great.”

“

Gov. (Sam) Brownback and his allies, including Sen. Lynn, in the Legislature have created uncertainty with disastrous policies regarding taxes, education funding and health care accessibility.”

— Gardner Mayor Chris Morrow

spent most of his civilian career working for various employment agencies.

He was elected to the Gardner City Council in 2013. Although municipal races are officially nonpartisan, Morrow said he was “outed” as a Democrat during the campaign, but still finished first in an eight-person race.

Two years later, he ran for mayor and unseated an incumbent Republican who’d been in city government for 18 years.

Still, he faces an uphill battle against Lynn, who was appointed to the seat

in 2005 and has won three elections in her own right since then. In 2014, she won with 64 percent of the vote against Democrat Merlin Ring.

In 2014, Brownback carried the district in the gubernatorial race with 54 percent of the vote, significantly better than his statewide average of 49.8 percent. In the 2012 presidential race, Republican Mitt Romney carried the district with 60 percent of the vote, about equal to his statewide average.

Audit requested for child welfare agency Wichita (ap) — A Kansas lawmaker plans to ask for an audit to determine whether the Kansas Department for Children and Families discriminates against same-sex couples in foster care and adoption cases.

Rep. Jim Ward, a Democrat from Wichita, said he will ask for the audit Dec. 10 when the Legislative PostAudit Committee meets.

The Wichita Eagle reports Ward’s request comes after a Topeka city councilman and his wife were granted custody of a child over a

agency. The lesbian couple had cared for the child for 11 months.

The Topeka couple, Jonathan and Allison Schumm, were charged in November with one count each of aggravated battery and four counts of endangering a child.

KC police chase ends in tractor-trailer crash Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — Police say shots were fired during a pursuit that ended with the suspects’ vehicle crashing into a tractor-trailer in Kansas City, Kan. KCTV-5 reports that the pursuit started Tuesday in Kansas City, Mo., after undercover officers spotted four people running behind a house while patrolling in the area. Sgt. Kevin Kilkenny says police began following their vehicle because they were suspected of committing a burglary.

Police say no officers were wounded when shots were fired from the suspects’ vehicle. Four men were arrested after the pursuit ended in a crash. Police said the suspects sustained only minor injuries.

co-defendant, Robinson, took just one hour to convict him of both aggravated burglary and felony murder. Robinson, Walker’s cousin, was given a life sentence without the possibility of parole for 20 years.

Walker has yet to be sentenced for his aggravated burglary conviction.

Counting his first and second mistrials in the Roberts’ case, Friday marked the fourth time Walker has not been convicted in a case involving a shooting. Another jury acquitted him in 2011 on charges connected to his alleged role in a December 2010 shooting at South Pointe Apartments, 2310 W. 26th St. In that case, Walker was charged with attempted second-degree murder and possessing a firearm as a felon after Darrick Dew was shot during a large party at

an apartment.

In 2008, Walker was suspected in a robbery at a Lawrence apartment that resulted in a man being shot in the leg. But in 2011, Douglas County prosecutors dismissed the case before it went to trial. Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said afterward that both the victim and witness were unable to recall the incident, precluding prosecutors from pursuing the case.

Walker remains in the Douglas County Jail.

Grandmother should seek help for granddaughter Dear Annie: My granddaughter, “Tara,” is 27 and a single mother of a 4-year-old daughter. I have been the child’s caregiver since birth, and we are very close.

When Tara lost her job, we allowed her to move in, with the understanding that she would get another job and pay us rent that we would put aside for a down payment on her own place. But it’s been seven months and she hasn’t showed much interest in finding a job. Tara doesn’t contribute anything for the household, nor does she offer to help around the house.

We have set several deadlines for Tara to leave, but we know that she would end up living in her car or on someone’s sofa. I am worried about the child. I have threatened to ask for

Live on NBC: ‘The Wiz’ NBC continues its new “oldfashioned” tradition with “The Wiz Live!” (7 p.m.). The network scored solid ratings with live broadcasts of “The Sound of Music” in 2013 and “Peter Pan” last year. NBC also lit up social media with commentary for and against both projects. While many were fans, others questioned the casting of twangy country star Carrie Underwood as Austrian governess Maria von Trapp and Brian Williams’ daughter, Allison Williams (“Girls”), as Peter Pan. In both cases, NBC got millions to watch live TV and care enough to tweet passionately about it. And that’s something worth repeating.

The casting for “The Wiz” includes the unknown Shanice Williams as Dorothy. The New Jersey native will be surrounded by a cast of familiar talents, including Queen Latifah in the title role, as well as Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo and Common. David Alan Grier will play the Cowardly Lion.

Although 19-year-old newcomer Williams remains a question mark, she’s at least close to age appropriate for the part. The 1978 movie musical adaptation of “The Wiz” starred Diana Ross as Dorothy when the diva was a few decades beyond adolescence.

In another holiday tradition, audience members who attended last month’s live taping of “CMA Country Christmas” (8 p.m., ABC) at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry were encouraged to bring an unwrapped Christmas gift for local children in need. For the sixth straight year, the special is hosted by Jennifer Nettles, the winner of the 2008 CMA song of the year (“Stay”).

Opinion

Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Thursday, December 3, 2015

EDITORIALS

Sidewalk site Even if the arch proposed outside a downtown restaurant is “artsy,” it doesn’t belong in the middle of the sidewalk.

F

inding himself in the position of casting the deciding vote on whether to allow a New Orleansstyle arch outside a Massachusetts Street restaurant, Mayor Mike Amyx asked Tuesday night to delay the decision so he had time “to think about this.”

In explaining his dilemma, Amyx said, “I don’t want to create a monster for our staff, but this gentleman should be able to have some form of an artsy arch.”

OK, but should he be allowed to have that arch in the middle of a public downtown sidewalk?

The arch in question would be located at Jazz, a restaurant at 1012 Massachusetts St. The request for the arch, which would define the entrance to a sidewalk dining area, was denied by city planners because it didn’t conform to a couple of city guidelines. One is the Downtown Design Guidelines, which call for railings and barriers to “reflect the character of the area,” which is downtown Lawrence, not New Orleans. The other is the requirement that railings and barriers be between 36 and 42 inches tall.

After being turned down by city staff, the owner of Jazz decided to appeal to the City Commission, which heard his case Tuesday night. His argument that the city’s rules about barriers and railings shouldn’t apply to the tall arch made little sense, but, for whatever reason, two commissioners indicated they would vote to approve the arch. Two others objected, leaving the matter up to Amyx.

Photos show an arch that is not unattractive, but it does not belong on the sidewalk — even if it qualifies as “art.”

The city doesn’t allow sculptures to be installed in the middle of downtown sidewalks. Approving the arch would open the door to any number of large structures around sidewalk dining areas that are proliferating along Massachusetts Street. If the Jazz owner wants an arch, he could place it in the restaurant’s doorway, not out on the sidewalk.

Maybe that’s the compromise Amyx should consider. Let Jazz have its “artsy arch” but in the doorway — not on the sidewalk, where it could be an obstruction and set a precedent for other excessive structures around sidewalk dining areas.

Gun violence: Who’s to blame?

Our question of the day: Who — or what — should take the blame?

The reference is to last week’s act of domestic terrorism at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado Springs. Authorities say three people were killed and nine wounded by Robert Dear, an eccentric, 57-yearold recluse.

After his arrest, he is reported to have muttered something about “No more baby parts,” an apparent reference to a controversial hidden-camera video purporting to prove Planned Parenthood harvests and sells the organs of aborted fetuses for a profit, a charge the organization has strenuously denied.

So who is responsible for this atrocity?

It’s a question asked with numbing frequency in a country where you can pretty much set your watch by the random shootings. Nor are answers ever in short supply. We frequently hear that someone’s rhetoric is at fault.

This happened four years ago when a mentally ill man killed six people and wounded 13 others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, in Tucson. Jane Fonda blamed Sarah Palin.

It happened last year, when a deranged man ambushed and executed two

Truth is, if you want to blame someone for this shooting, start with the man who pulled the trigger. You might also investigate what roles were played by the mental health system and the legal system that allowed him access to a semiautomatic rifle.”

police officers in Brooklyn. Erick Erickson, a Fox “News” contributor, blamed President Obama.

So one is hardly surprised, in the wake of this latest shooting, that Dawn Laguens, Planned Parenthood’s executive vice president, blamed the “toxic environment” created by Republican presidential candidates.

Truth is, if you want to

blame someone for this shooting, start with the man who pulled the trigger. You might also investigate what roles were played by the mental health system and the legal system that allowed him access to a semiautomatic rifle.

Point being, in the rush to draw the larger moral lesson, one should be wary of absolving the guilty of their crimes, even if only by inference. That said, let us note that Laguens’ criticism is qualitatively different from that leveled by Fonda against Palin or Erickson against Obama. Meaning that it’s not absurd on its face.

After all, while one has a constitutionally guaranteed right to express one’s opinion, one has no such right to threaten or incite violence. There is, in other words, a fundamental difference between saying “Joe is a terrible person” and saying “Somebody should teach Joe a lesson” or “Joe needs to get what’s coming to him.”

Have Republicans crossed that line with regard to Planned Parenthood?

Probably not. But they have danced uncomfortably and undeniably close to it.

When you habitually refer to abortion providers as criminals, butchers, Nazis, barbarians and baby killers, you cannot be surprised if

someone sees them as less than human — and acts accordingly. Carry lit matches through dry tinder and every now and again, you will start a fire.

One is reminded of how, years ago, before he himself became a TV cop, rapper and heavy metal singer IceT was asked if he thought his songs expressing hatred of police might cause acts of violence against them.

He said no. If somebody aspired to kill cops, he said, “All I did was make him a theme song.” He was right, except that he seemed to think himself morally exonerated by that reasoning.

But if you create an environment where violence against some person or group seems righteous — even if you don’t explicitly call for that violence — are your hands wholly clean when the violence comes? If you give hatred a theme song, what is your responsibility when a disaffected soul starts singing along?

You’ll find no pat answers here — only a question worth pondering for people of conscience in general and the Republican contenders in particular. No, they did not cause this shooting.

They are not guilty.

Problem is, they’re not innocent, either.

Clinton facts

OLD HOME TOWN From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 3, 1915: “George Kimball, the oldest man in Lawrence, passed quietly years from sleep to death at his home ago at Vermont street this mornIN 1915 ing.... Mr. Kimball was 97 years, 6 months and 2 days old. He was born in New Hampshire, May 30, 1818, one of a family of fifteen children, all of whom lived to old age.... Mr. Kimball was for many years connected with the foundry business of Kimball Brothers in Lawrence. The old foundry building is even now being removed, after having been unused for a long time, to make room for other structures. Mr. Kimball was an expert cabinet maker and of a mechanical turn of mind. He was the inventor of a number of mechanical appliances, holding twenty or twenty-five patents on machines which he had devised. It was a gift that ran in the family, several others among the brothers being inventors.”

K-State distinguished profs oppose concealed-carry law Editor’s note: The following column was submitted by Chris Sorensen and Elizabeth Dodd on behalf of themselves and 38 other distinguished professors at Kansas State University.

In July of 2017, Kansas Board of Regents institutions will lose their exemption from Kansas legislation that permits the carrying of concealed firearms in all public places. Until that time, colleges and universities have had the authority to restrict firearms if they believe them incompatible with the function and mission of their campuses. Our university has done so, a policy which we strongly support.

Our administration and campus community have made that choice for a wide variety of reasons.

Suicide is a threat to people of traditional college age; death by gunshot is the most prevalent suicide mortality.

We believe that easier access to guns will mean losing more of our students to suicide.

Accidental shootings injure both gun owners and those around them. University classrooms, labs, libraries, athletic venues and other public spaces bring people in close proximity

YOUR TURN to one another. Accidental shootings cannot occur in the absence of guns, and we believe more guns will increase the likelihood of accidental shootings of our coworkers, our students and the guests who come to our campuses.

There is no evidence that increased gun presence has decreased death or injury by guns on campuses. Whether on campuses or elsewhere, private citizens have had no appreciable success in preventing deaths by intentional shooters, accidental shooters or suicidal individuals.

Beyond the boundaries of universities, the evidence is that the presence of guns in homes increases the likelihood of death or injury by gunshot. We believe our community is safest without guns in our midst, except in the hands of onduty law enforcement officials.

We think that officially allowing firearms on campus for students, faculty and staff will make it more difficult to recruit those who are uncomfortable with guns in their learning or working environ-

ment, and we worry that we will lose valuable members of our campus community to other universities.

We are dedicated teachers, mentors, researchers and colleagues. We believe that the unrestricted presence of guns in our classrooms, offices, lecture halls and other spaces will make us and our students feel less safe. It will compromise the open door policy many of us maintain, in which students and others are free to drop by our offices to consult or converse. It will make students less open to working together with others whom they may not know well, and will adversely affect their educational experience. We believe that by compromising the safety of our community members, sanctioning guns on campus goes against the mission of the university.

We, the Kansas State University Distinguished Professors, strongly urge the Legislature to allow colleges and universities to regulate the presence of guns on their campuses, granting them permanent relief from the Kansas Personal and Family Protection Act. And we ask our students, their families, and our colleagues and coworkers to join us in this call.

To the editor: David Upchurch wrote that President Clinton should be disqualified from the Dole Leadership Award because “he was disbarred as a lawyer” for the Monica Lewinsky testimony (Public Forum, Nov. 30).

Mr. Upchurch is welcome to his own opinion, but not his own facts. Mr. Clinton had a temporary suspension of his law license in Arkansas for five years, a period long since over.

If we demanded moral perfection from our presidents, we would have had a long stream of Jimmy Carters, and no one else. I’m not sure that’s what Mr. Upchurch has in mind.

I am not so glad because of our poor record this year. I am primarily glad because I will no longer have to read, every Sunday morning, the cruel listing of names under “Game Balls & Gassers.”

The “Gassers” refers to the sports staff’s identification of the players they have selected as having performed the worst! Really?

Do we get such information for KU basketball or any other KU sports team? No! These young men are STUDENT-athletes, not professionals. In spite of our losing record, I was always impressed by the general enthusiasm and effort put forth by this team.

A concept such as “Gassers” to me is a form of journalistic bullying. Thus, may I reward the Journal-World sports staff with one giant Gasser, with the Most Valuable Gasser Award going to Tom Keegan. Go Hawks!

Bill Simons, Lawrence

Police chief: Attackers came ‘as if they were on a mission’ Martin Rogers, John Bacon and Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

SAN BERNARDINO, CALIF.

Armed attackers burst into a social services center Wednesday and opened fire, killing at least 14 people and setting off an intense manhunt and gunfight that resulted in the death of two suspects — a man and a woman.

Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said the killers walked into the meeting room at the Inland Regional Center, began shooting and quickly fled in a dark SUV. Officers following up on a tip rushed to a home. The suspects fled in an SUV. Police pursued, and minutes later, the shootout took place, Burguan said.

“One male and one female were killed,” Burguan said. He said they were dressed in military-style garb and were armed with assault rifles and handguns.

He said one officer was wounded in the shootout, but the injuries were not life-threatening.

“There was a third person seen

running away, that person has been detained,” Burguan said. He said it was not clear whether the person was involved in the massacre. He said there still might be a suspect at large.

Burguan said at least 14 people were killed and 17 wounded in the rampage. Officers searching the building found an explosive device that had not detonated. No motive had been determined for the attack, he said.

“The information we have is

they came prepared to do what they did, as if they were on a mission,” Burguan said.

Witnesses said the shooters were armed with long guns, and they wore ski masks and militarystyle vests.

David Bowdich, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles office, said it was too early to determine whether the attack was terrorism-related. “This is a marathon, not a sprint,” he said of the investigation.

Citing anonymous sources, NBC News, the Los Angeles Times, and the Associated Press identified one of the killers as a man named Syed Farook.

Doyle Miller, owner of the twobedroom home where Farook resided in Redlands, Calif., said Farook lived there for five or six months. Miller said Farook moved in with his wife and a “young child,” who he thinks was just a baby. Miller said he met Mr. Farook once and had no problems with him; “the only thing we complained about is that he didn’t take care of the back yard.”

Authorities are tracing the ori-

gin of the four weapons recovered — two assault-style rifles and two handguns — from the two dead suspects, a federal law enforcement official told USA TODAY. The official, who is not authorized to comment, said investigators are focusing on an incident, perhaps a workplace dispute, before the shooting in which one person became angry and left a gathering of employees. The person returned with two others.

Marybeth Field, president and CEO of the Inland Regional Center, said the incident took place in a conference area that a county group had rented. She said about 25 employees work in the building, which provides services for people with developmental disabilities.

California Gov. Jerry Brown ordered that flags at the Capitol be lowered to half staff. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims’ families,” Brown said.

France shuts down three mosques in state of emergency Doug Stanglin and Oren Dorell USA TODAY

French authorities announced Wednesday they shut down three mosques for an alleged “pattern of radicalization,” but terrorism analysts said such tactics are unlikely to be repeated in the USA. Though a few small European mosques have been taken over by radicals — and it has happened in the USA — that’s not the trend anymore, said Evan Kohlmann, an analyst at the New York-based threat intelligence firm Flashpoint.

“Anyone in this country that

gets the least reputation for being a known radicalizer is immediately investigated by the FBI,” Kohlmann said. “People with connections to extremists are investigated and removed from their positions.”

The French raid was conducted under the terms of a prolonged state of emergency instituted after the terrorist attacks Nov. 13 in Paris that left 130 people dead. Islamic State extremists claimed responsibility for the attacks.

The state of emergency, which was passed by parliament, is in effect until February and allows authorities wide latitude in

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazaneuve defended such

tough measures, saying, “It is the terrorism that is the threat to freedom, not the state of emergency.”

Cazaneuve said Wednesday

that a “large police contingent” closed one mosque in Lagny-surMarne, a suburb in eastern Paris, placing nine “radicalized individuals” under house arrest and barring 22 from leaving the country.

Two other mosques, one in Gennevilliers in the northwest suburbs and one in Lyon, were closed within the past week.

“Europe has a bigger problem with radical Islam because many of their countries have hate speech laws, which pushes these groups underground, which makes monitoring them much more difficult,” said Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy.

USA has actually accepted gun violence Trevor Hughes @trevorhughes USA TODAY

COLORADO SPRINGS Standing amid yet another community shattered by gun violence, I’m left with the unshakable belief that Americans are actually OK with it.

How else can we explain the lack of a broad-based outcry to Do Something when it comes to men with guns killing their fellow citizens? How, in the wake of yet another mass shooting Wednesday — this time in San Bernardino, Calif. — to explain that even as the president calls for reducing gun violence, we buy more guns?

Some politicians and activists will make the same perfunctory calls for background checks and maybe restrictions on high-powered rifles. Others might make a nod toward incrementally better mental heath care.

But other politicians are already saying that Planned Parenthood maybe brought a shooting upon itself, and that you can’t really ever stop a determined man with a gun without getting rid of all guns, and we’re never going to do that.

As many of my friends point out, even in countries with virtually no guns, such as Great Britain, gun deaths still occur. The first mass shooting I ever covered took place in Dunblane, Scotland. It remains the worst.

Friday’s shooting at Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs

TREVOR HUGHES, USA TODAY

Neighbors say this trailer is where Robert Lewis Dear lived near Colorado Springs. Dear faces murder and other charges in a shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic. is the second mass shooting I’ve covered in two months for USA TODAY. I was in Roseburg, Ore., in the hours after a young man killed nine people in his college classroom. And earlier this year I watched as jurors decided to spare the life of James Holmes, who killed 12 in a suburban Denver movie theater in 2012 — a shooting that I began covering just hours after his gunshots ended and tears were still falling.

Covering all of those shootings brings to mind a bitingly accurate headline from the satirical news site The Onion: “ ‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regu-

We’ve simply accepted, as a culture, that innocents will die every day to protect our way of life. larly Happens.”

When word came Wednesday of the San Bernardino attack, President Obama had some strong words for the situation.

“Some may be aware of the fact that we have a no-fly list where people can’t get on planes,” Oba-

ma said. “But those same people who we don’t allow to fly could go into a store right now in the United States and buy a firearm, and there’s nothing that we can do to stop them.”

An exasperated Obama has said before that he wants to do something, but he’s focusing on using an executive order, rather than persuading Congress to act.

He knows lawmakers don’t really want to change anything.

“This is not normal,” the president says of gun violence.

Respectfully, I disagree.

Our country was born in armed revolution. The link between an armed public and the

success of that revolution is clear. We made it even clearer by writing into our founding documents that we have a God-given right to our guns.

As my colleague Nick Penzenstadler reported earlier this week, federal officials conducted more than 185,000 background checks on Black Friday, reflecting gun purchases that were happening even as a man shot up a Planned Parenthood clinic, killing a cop and two other people during a five-hour standoff.

Guns are an integral part of American culture and life, and the vast majority will never harm anyone. As a society, however, we’ve accepted that some guns will kill innocents.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper says he’s not ready to give up trying to reduce them. He argues that empathy is a cornerstone of democracy, and that if we don’t care enough about innocent strangers being gunned down to actually change anything, well, “we’ve got a real problem.”

But I’m not sure Americans really see gun violence as a problem. Polls show that while slightly more than half of Americans say they want stricter limits on gun sales, it sure doesn’t feel like the majority of us really want to do anything differently.

We’ve simply accepted, as a culture, that innocents will die every day to protect our way of life. It’s the price we pay to ensure no one will ever take this country by force. It’s a cost we are clearly willing to pay.

U.S. rejects Russian claim of Turkish ties to Islamic State Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

U.S. troops work out at a military base in Kandahar, Afghanistan. An inspector general’s report says millions of dollars could have been saved if visitors had stayed with troops.

PENTAGON WASTED ‘TENS OF MILLIONS’ ON AFGHAN VILLAS Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

A Pentagon business advocacy agency spent almost $150 million renting private “villas” and security for a “handful” of staff and visitors in Afghanistan, bypassing government housing that could have saved taxpayers tens of millions of dollars, according to an inspector general’s report released Thursday.

The Task Force Business Stability Operations was blasted last month by members of Congress after the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) found it had spent $43 million for a gas station there that should have cost $500,000.

In the housing case, Inspector General John Sopko, in a letter to Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, questioned the need for the “Western-style hotel accommodations,” flat-screen TVs, private bodyguards and dining services of at least “three-star” quality for government workers and guests.

“If (task force) employees had instead lived at (Department of Defense) facilities in Afghanistan, where housing, security and food service are routinely provided at little or no extra charge to DoD organizations, it appears the taxpayers would have saved tens of millions of dollars,” Sopko wrote.

Sopko’s letter calls on the PenWASHINGTON

Inspector general questioned need for flat-screen TVs, private bodyguards and three-star-quality dining services.

tagon to divulge more information on who stayed at the villas and approved the expenditures.

“We have received the recent letter from SIGAR and will respond,” Army Lt. Col. Joe Sowers, a Pentagon spokesman, said.

The bill for accommodations — 20% of the task force’s budget — provided housing and security for “no more than five to 10” staffers, former task force employees told investigators, according to the letter. The inspector general estimates that housing a staff of 10 at the U.S. Embassy in 2014 would have cost $1.8 million, and little or nothing if they had bunked with troops at a military base.

Three contractors provided a level of luxury to villa residents in war-torn Afghanistan, which the CIA describes as “extremely poor, landlocked and highly dependent on foreign aid.”

Each room in the villa — multistory, modern buildings — was required to have flat-screen TVs of at least 27 inches, a DVD player and a mini-refrigerator. An upgraded villa for investors was re-

quired to provide “Western-style hotel accommodations.”

Food service of at least three stars was required, “each meal containing at least two entrée choices and three side order choices, as well as three-course meals for ‘Special Events.’ ” Other amenities included onsite laundry, “light snacks and water/tea/coffee/sodas available 24 hrs.” Secure, low-profile transportation, business equipment, housekeeping, groundskeeping, cultural advisers and translators also were required.

Sopko attributed the decision to live in private accommodations to Paul Brinkley, a former Pentagon official and task force chief. A footnote in Sopko’s letter says Brinkley has not cooperated with requests for information.

Brinkley, who is in private industry, said Sopko’s office had not reached out to him with questions raised in the letter, and he pledged to cooperate with investigators. “I have not been contacted by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction regarding the questions raised in the letter to the Department of Defense since I departed government service almost five years ago but would be happy to meet and discuss these topics,” Brinkley said in a statement.

He said the Pentagon and military command in Afghanistan had oversight of the task force during his tenure.

U.S. officials dismissed Russian allegations Wednesday that Turkey’s president profited from oil trading with the Islamic State.

“The Turks have been great partners” in fighting the Islamic State militants, said Col. Steve Warren, the coalition spokesman in Baghdad.

State Department spokesman Mark Toner agreed. “There is no Turkish government complicity in some operation to buy illegal oil from the Islamic State,” he said, according to the Associated Press. “We just don’t believe that to be true in any way, shape or form.”

The allegations are an escalation of tensions between Russia and Turkey, a member of NATO, after Turkey downed a Russian warplane last week. Russia has deployed surface-to-air missiles in Turkey, according to the Pentagon.

Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov made the allegations Wednesday in a briefing to reporters in Moscow that was published on the website of Russia’s Ministry of Defense.

He said Moscow has evidence showing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his family

personally benefit from oil transactions with the Islamic State militant group, also known as ISIL or ISIS. “Turkey is the main destination for the oil stolen from its legitimate owners, which are Syria and Iraq. Turkey resells this oil.

The appalling part about it is that the country’s top political leadership is involved in the illegal business — President Erdogan and his family,” Antonov said.

He said oil “is transported to Turkey (from Islamic State territory) in industrial quantities along the ‘rolling pipelines’ made up of thousands of tanker trucks.”

Russia has previously accused Turkey of buying oil from the Islamic State, but this is the first time it accused the president or his family of being involved.

“No one has the right to make such a slander as to suggest that Turkey buys Daesh’s oil,” Erdogan said in a speech at Qatar University, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State. “Turkey has not lost its moral values as to buy oil from a terror organization.”

He warned that “if Russia’s disproportionate reactions continue, we will be forced to take our own measures,” the AP reported.

Erdogan said he would resign if the accusations against him are proved.

Recall of celery linked to E. coli grows to 16 states Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

A large California vegetable producer expanded its recall of celery linked to a dangerous strain of E. coli bacteria that has sickened 19 people in seven states.

The celery was sold by Taylor Farms Pacific of Tracy, Calif., and was used as part of an onion and celery mix included in chicken salad at Costco stores. The FDA has expanded the recall to a dozen retail chains in 16 states.

In addition to Costco’s chicken salad, the celery was used in sandwiches, wraps, vegetable trays, cornbread stuffing and other items sold at a variety of stores.

Affected stores include 7-Eleven, King Soopers, Raley’s, Save Mart, Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Star-

bucks, Target, Walmart and Sam’s Club.

Five people sickened in the E. coli outbreak have been hospitalized, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Two patients developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure.

The specific type of bacteria in this outbreak, E. coli O157, is particularly dangerous, especially for children. E. coli O157 is more likely than other varieties of the bacteria to cause hemolytic uremic syndrome, which can leave survivors on dialysis.

One in 6 Americans — more than 48 million people — are sickened by the food they eat each year in the country. Such illnesses cause about 3,000 deaths and 125,000 hospitalizations and cost the economy $14.1 billion, according to the CDC.

SENATE TAKES AIM AT OBAMACARE Bill would repeal key portions of the ACA and strip federal funding from Planned Parenthood Erin Kelly l USA TODAY

T

WASHINGTON

he Senate began consideration Wednesday of a bill that would repeal major portions of Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood in a vote that is designed to force a veto from President Obama heading into the 2016 election.

Democrats will be unable to filibuster the bill, which requires only a simple 51-vote majority under a budget procedure known as reconciliation. There are 54 Republican senators, although it’s possible that at least two moderates — Susan Collins of Maine and Mark Kirk of Illinois — may vote against the bill because of the provision to strip funding from Planned Parenthood for a year.

The House passed the bill in October but will likely have to approve it a second time if the Senate passes an amended version this week as expected. Minority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, said the vote will happen Thursday night.

Treat Colorado clinic attack as act of terrorism, abortion rights groups say Trevor Hughes @trevorhughes USA TODAY

COLORADO SPRINGS Abortion rights groups are pressuring federal officials to treat Friday’s attack on a Planned Parenthood clinic as an act of domestic terrorism.

The pressure comes as many anti-abortion advocates, including those in Congress, react to a series of videos purporting to show Planned Parenthood discussing the sale of tissue and organs from aborted fetuses for profit. Planned Parenthood denies the allegations, claiming the videos were deceptively edited, and it says women are given the opportunity to donate fetal tissue for medical research.

Abortion rights advocates say they’ve seen a surge in violence and hate speech following the videos’ release and called on the FBI and the Justice Department to respond with additional investigative resources and potentially stiffer federal penalties.

“We think it does rise to national importance. This case in Colorado, which is horrific and extreme, mirrors other cases,” said Karen Middleton, the executive director of NARAL ProChoice Colorado. “When you speak to abortion providers around the country ... they are under fear of being assassinated.”

Police say Robert Lewis Dear attacked the Colorado Spring’s branch of Planned Parenthood on Friday morning, killing three people and wounding nine others before surrendering to a SWAT team. Among the dead is

a police officer, the killing of whom could make Dear eligible to face the death penalty under Colorado law if convicted.

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Saturday condemned the shooting as an “unconscionable attack” but stopped short of calling it terrorism.

Congress in 1994 passed a law specifically protecting access to reproductive health clinics, making it illegal to block entrances, intimidate clients or intentionally damage a facility.

Some conservative lawmakers have suggested that Planned Parenthood is to blame. “The true instigator of this violence and all violence at any Planned Parenthood facility is Planned Parenthood themselves,” Republican Rep. JoAnn Windholz, who represents a suburban area north of Denver, said on Facebook. “Violence begets violence.

So Planned Parenthood: YOU STOP THE VIOLENCE INSIDE YOUR WALLS.”

IN BRIEF ISLAMIC STATE BEHEADS RUSSIAN ACCUSED OF SPYING

A FEARSOME BELCH AFTER 110 YEARS People observe Momotombo, a volcano near Leon, Nicaragua, on Wednesday.

Momotombo spewed a plume of ash and gas Tuesday up to 3,000 feet in the sky, sparking concerns that the giant could be waking from a 110-year-old slumber.

The Islamic State released a video Wednesday apparently showing the beheading of a man accused of spying for Russia.

The video shows a captive, identified as Haroun, who says he had joined the Islamic State but was recruited by the Russians and blackmailed to gather intelligence on the militants, according to a translation from CNN. Another scene shows the captive, dressed in an orange shirt and pants but wearing no mask, kneeling in front of a Russianspeaking Islamic State militant.

The militant issues threats to Russians, saying, “You will not find peace in your homes. We will kill your sons ... for each son you killed here.” The militant then cuts the throat of the kneeling captive.

One said Mustafa, who has never been charged, fought in Yemen’s civil war in 1996 and was picked up in northern Afghanistan in 2002 as a low-level Taliban fighter. It was believed that

Mustafa, referred to as YM-434, was an al-Qaeda facilitator or courier and a trainer. But the document concedes, “we now judge that these activities were carried out by other known extremists with names or aliases similar to YM-434s.”

CHICAGO Mayor Rahm Emanuel dismissed calls on Wednesday from protesters calling for his resignation in the aftermath of the release of police video of a white officer shooting a black teen that has put the city on edge.

Emanuel said he hasn’t given a thought to the demand of protesters, who have taken to Chicago streets over the last week to call for the ouster of Emanuel, Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez and Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy. Emanuel fired McCarthy on Tuesday, saying he had become a “distraction” and that public trust in police leadership was “shaken and eroded” in Chicago’s AfricanAmerican community. Alvarez, who is up for re-election next year and is facing a primary challenge, says she has no intention of resigning.

Emanuel addressed the protesters’ demands for the first time at a forum sponsored by news organization Politico on Wednesday. He acknowledged he may have “made mistakes” but said he wasn’t going anywhere.

“We have a process called an election,” Emanuel said. “The voters vote. I’ll be held account-

STEADY JOB GROWTH

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen signaled Wednesday the Fed is all but certain to raise interest rates this month for the first time in nearly a decade, saying that gains in the economy and labor market have met the central bank’s goals.

Her comments at the Economic Club of Washington amount to the strongest sign the Fed has provided so far that it will take action at a Dec. 15-16 meeting.

Yet Yellen reiterated that it’s the pace of subsequent rate increases that matters. And that may be even slower than Fed policymakers have suggested.

She previously stressed the central bank will bump up rates gently amid lingering obstacles to faster economic growth that are byproducts of the 2008 financial crisis and Great Recession. Its benchmark rate has been near zero since then, even as unemployment has fallen from 10% to 5%.

This time, Yellen was even more expansive, noting that the Fed’s “neutral interest rate” — the level that would neither heat up nor cool down an economy that’s at full employment — is “low by historical standards and is likely to rise only gradually over time.”

Many economists believe the inflation-adjusted neutral rate, which traditionally has been about 4%, is now zero.

That means the Fed must move gradually or risk dousing a recovery that’s still modest by some measures. Yellen cited several reasons why such a low rate

Private payroll processor ADP reported a healthy 217,000 job gains for November. Another month of solid additions from Friday’s report would bolster the case for a rate hike. Private jobs added (in thousands):

won’t overheat the economy or spur runaway inflation.

Credit remains tight, many households are still shaving debt after the mid-2000’s credit bubble, and productivity and labor force growth have slowed, among other factors, she said. Higher interest rates would modestly raise borrowing costs for consumers and businesses across the economy — from mortgages to corporate bonds — while also nudging up bank savings rates that have been stuck near zero.

Fed policymakers’ most recent forecasts indicate they expect to raise the benchmark rate by about a quarter of a percentage

On the one hand, that echoes her recent mantra that the Fed is fastidiously data-dependent.

But Michael Gapen, chief U.S. economist of Barclays Capital, says Yellen also may be trying to avoid a repeat of the 2013 “taper tantrum,” when Fed signals that it was poised to wind down its bond-buying stimulus caused yields on U.S. Treasury securities to spike.

Another reason to boost rates slowly is that inflation remains persistently below the Fed’s annual 2% target. Yellen said she expects price gains to accelerate as the effects of low oil prices and a strong dollar — which makes imports cheaper for U.S. consumers — dissipate in the next few years.

OPEC struggles as oil prices dip below $40 With stocks high, members ‘have lost their pricing power’ Chris Woodyard @ChrisWoodyard USA TODAY

Oil prices dipped below $40 a barrel Wednesday ahead of this week’s meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to try to figure what, if anything, can be done to prop those prices up.

The benchmark crude in the U.S., West Texas Intermediate, dropped $1.91 a barrel, or 4.6%, to $39.94 in trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, Bloomberg News reported. That was the lowest since Aug. 26.

Experts say prices could head even lower as OPEC struggles with the inability to control production levels among its member states.

LUKE SHARRETT, BLOOMBERG

AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report says regular gas is selling at about $2.03 a gallon nationally.

“This is the most incredible glut we have seen in our lifetimes. Unless OPEC can really pull a rabbit out of a hat, we’re going below $2” a gallon of gas.

Tom Kloza, chief global analyst for the Oil Price Information Service

“This is the most incredible glut we have seen in our lifetimes,” says Tom Kloza, chief global analyst for the Oil Price Information Service, which follows pricing on energy markets.

The immediate result is that key petroleum products such as gasoline, jet fuel and home heating oil likely will be the cheapest in years heading into the holidays and the cold of winter.

“Unless OPEC can really pull a rabbit out of a hat, we’re going below $2” a gallon of gas, Kloza says.

That would be the lowest since the depths of recession in March 2009. Wednesday, AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report said regular gas was selling at $2.038 a gallon nationally.

OPEC, which has its next meeting Friday in Vienna, faces a far more complicated oil market than years ago. For instance, there are myriad more producers, such as oil derived from shale in the U.S. The gathering of OPEC leaders comes against the back-

drop of the climate change talks going on in Paris that could result in less demand in coming years.

As a result, OPEC, once a powerful oligopoly with a strong grip on world production, is substantially weakened.

“They have lost their pricing power,” independent oil analyst Philip Verleger says.

In the past year, OPEC members have largely pumped crude with few production restrictions.

OPEC appeared to be following a strategy of letting prices dip so low that it would drive some weaker or higher-cost producers out of production, pushing up prices.

But now analysts think that strategy won’t work. Even if there are fluxuations in the short term — still a distinct possibility — they will be working against longer-term trends like a cutback in use of oil in industrialized countries.

“We will have to leave a lot of oil in the ground,” Verleger says.

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

The European Central Bank — Europe’s version of the U.S. Federal Reserve — meets Thursday and is expected to do the opposite of what the Fed is getting ready to do: The ECB likely will announce more stimulus measures to boost growth and inflation. The Fed, of course, led by Chair Janet Yellen, is getting ready to take the punch bowl away and hike interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade.

The policy divergence between the Fed, which is moving toward tighter monetary policy amid an improving job market, and the ECB, which is still in ease mode, is likely to impact markets for the balance of 2015 and beyond.

The ECB is likely to further de-

Investors looking to the November jobs report, due out Friday, as a litmus test for whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates this month for the first time in nearly a decade, likely will be disappointed.

Economists say a rate hike is all but certain, and it would take payroll gains significantly below the 200,000 projected by analysts to even give Fed policymakers pause about pulling the trigger.

JOE RAEDLE, GETTY IMAGES

With the economy adding a healthy average of 206,000 jobs a month this year, an interest-rate hike is likely.

Payroll processor ADP’s estimate that the private sector added 217,000 jobs last month lowers the odds of such an outcome.

“The hurdle is strikingly high for them not to raise rates,” says

Tom Porcelli, chief U.S. economist of RBC Capital Markets.

“You would need a significant outlier.”

Since October, Fed policymakers have signaled they’re likely to hoist rates at a meeting Dec. 1516, but a final decision will depend on economic reports in the intervening weeks. The jobs report is the most significant piece of remaining data they’ll review.

But the officials also have indicated they’re poised to hike rates because of cumulative progress in the labor market in recent years.

Minors can learn about investing with a portfolio Q: How can I give the gift of stock?

Matt Krantz

@mattkrantz mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Tired of giving presents no one appreciates? Give stock. It’s a gift that actually can appreciate.

Most major brokerages will create custodial accounts for minors, a great opportunity to teach about investing. Create a custodian account as a gift and then buy a share of an exchange-traded fund that owns, say, all the stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500, for no fee. You can then print the brokerage statement and perhaps buy a few gifts representing some of the companies in the S&P 500 — like a can of Coca-Cola (KO), a Mickey Mouse watch from Disney (DIS) or a Microsoft (MSFT) Xbox One. Here’s another option. Schwab (SCHW) has launched a version of its Intelligent Portfolios service for minors that automatically will build a more diversified portfolio. Some companies, including Disney, let you set up a stock account and buy the stock directly through them — including a paper certificate. There are fees and minimum purchase requirements.

If you’re set on a paper stock certificate, GiveAShare.com will sell you a share of dozens of companies ranging from Amazon.com (AMZN) to Tesla (TSLA).

You’ll need to buy the share, and there are additional fees — including framing and shipping — that can add up.

month so far this year, and the unemployment rate has fallen to a near-normal 5% from 10% in 2009. The average slipped to 145,000 in August and September but rebounded to a muscular 271,000 in October, bringing the average since June to about 195,000, Fed Chair Janet Yellen noted in a speech Wednesday.

The strong October report calmed worries about a sustained slowdown and lessened the significance of any weak data that may be highlighted in the November payroll survey, says Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist of High Frequency Economics.

While a strong dollar, global weakness and low oil prices have hurt exports and manufacturing, domestic demand still is strong.

So what kind of job gains total Friday could at least raise doubts about a Fed move? In recent weeks, several Fed officials have said monthly advances of 100,000 to 150,000 are acceptable in the latter stages of a recovery, when the labor market typically tightens, Porcelli noted. He says a total below that would cause some policymakers to reconsider, but it likely would take job losses — an almost unthinkable scenario — to actually throw them off course.

ROBERT HANASHIRO, USA TODAY

The supposedly retired actor Michael Caine stars as Fred, a retired orchestra conductor, in Youth.

Michael Caine recalls one scene in his drama Youth when director Paolo Sorrentino instructed him and Harvey Keitel to stand in a spa pool and simply look pleased.

As cameras rolled, Sorrentino had a fully naked actress make a slow, surprise entrance. The look on Keitel’s and Caine’s faces was pure, honest euphoria.

“We didn’t know,” Caine says.

“So you saw the best acting I ever did because it was reality. You cannot get better.”

Critics are in agreement that we might not see a better Michael Caine than in the visually stunning film centered on the 82year-old British icon (opens Friday in New York and Los Angeles, expands to 60 cities through Christmas). Receiving a call from Sorrentino to offer him the lead role of retired orchestra conduc-

FOX SEARCHLIGHT

Caine trained for a month to learn how to conduct an orchestra, and, in the scene above, a group of cows in a field. tor Fred Ballinger led to a nobrainer decision.

It was enough to pull Caine out of the retirement he insists he has undertaken. “It’s not like I’m hustling directors to get a part. If something wows me, I’ll do it,” he says. “And that’s what happened (with Youth).”

Sorrentino says it wasn’t difficult to lure Caine to the Swiss Alps to shoot the film, which deals with the character’s late-inlife mental struggles.

“He had never played a conductor before,” Sorrentino says.

“The new experience put him in a good mood.”

The performance has landed Caine deep in the year-end awards conversation, forcing a packed schedule during a trip to L.A. It’s so intense that the physically weary but emotionally animated Caine cancels a sit-down interview to talk over the phone.

“They had me running like a blue housefly here,” he says.

He has been nominated for an Academy Award in every decade since the 1960s (including supporting-actor wins for 1986’s Hannah and Her Sisters and 1999’s The Cider House Rules) except the current one. Caine is too skittish to discuss the possibility of being recognized as best actor.

“It’s just bad luck to talk about,” he says. “And I haven’t won in this category, even with four nominations.”

But he eagerly discusses the month of training to prep for his conducting scenes in front of a full orchestra and one “surreal” scene in a field of cows. “The key to conducting is to have a sense of rhythm,” Caine says. “Without it, I don’t care how much training you do or moving your hands about, you’re not going to do it.”

Fortunately, Caine once earned the nickname “Disco Mike.”

“My disco days are long over,” he says with a laugh. “But I have this great sense of rhythm.”

Great enough that he has already heard compliments for his conducting.

“The lead violinist said I was better than the bloke they had the day before. He was probably kidding, but it made me feel good.”

MOVIES

‘Chi-Raq’: Grecian formula for violent times Inspired by ancient drama, Spike Lee sounds off on guns Spike Lee has been trying to get people to do the right thing for years, but with Chi-Raq, he solidifies a peaceful movie message in lyrical as well as powerful fashion.

Equal parts feminist uprising, social satire and complete condemnation of gun violence, the filmmaker’s new effort takes audiences to the bullet-riddled streets of Chicago and makes the problems in our big cities accessible using, of all things, a Greek play from 411 B.C. A contemporary take on Aristophanes’ Lysistrata, a comedy in which a woman uses her feminine wiles to end the Peloponnesian War, Chi-Raq looks at the battlefield of two warring gangs in Chicago’s South Side, the Spartans and the Trojans.

Lysistrata (Teyonah Parris) watches the death and destruction that follow in the wake of her egotistical rapper boyfriend ChiREVIEW BRIAN TRUITT

Raq (Nick Cannon), leader of the hoods in Sparta South. His hiphop language fits perfectly in the script by Lee and Kevin Willmott, since most everybody speaks in rhyming verse — a great device used throughout by Lee to make the audience hang on every word.

After an 11-year-old girl is killed in a drive-by and her mother (Jennifer Hudson) is left to scrub her baby’s blood off the streets, Lysistrata takes a stand the best way she can: She recruits the women affiliated with the purple-clad Spartans and the orange-bedecked Trojans and rallies a sex strike to get the guys to end their violent ways.

Their “No peace, no piece” plan grows bigger than the neighborhood, and Lysistrata’s army takes over the Illinois National Guard Armory — there’s a hilarious scene involving a euphemistically named antique cannon.

Their movement reaches worldwide, much to the dismay of the men, though it’s all in pursuit of brokering peace between ChiRaq and his one-eyed archenemy Cyclops (Wesley Snipes).

sexy confidence and infectious idealism as Lysistrata, a meaty breakthrough role. Cannon is impressive as Chi-Raq, hiding deep emotions behind a macho veneer.

Hudson and John Cusack, as a fiery local priest who has served over too many kids’ funerals, both turn in gripping performances — one scene with Cannon and Cusack is as mighty as any in the large Lee filmography.

At times, Chi-Raq can be a little heavy-handed in making Lee’s point, namechecking Trayvon Martin and other real victims; the director creatively uses loud gunshots and homicide rates to much more visceral effect.

Lee contrasts the serious stuff with lighter moments, such as an entertaining dance sequence where the military tries to break the spirit of Lysistrata and her “soldiers” by blasting The ChiLites’ bedroom-ready Oh Girl.

In creating a mood that’s concurrently thought-provoking and humorous, viewers are left wondering how society got to such a bad place but ultimately go home with “Be a good man” as Lee’s latest cinematic life lesson.

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Mason owning defensive boards Defensive rebounds per inch. The statistic doesn’t exist yet, but the way the world is going, it won’t be long in arriving.

It’s a shame the stat’s time has not arrived because it’s possible Kansas University junior guard Frank Mason III, all 5-feet11 inches of him, just might lead the nation.

This much is certain: Fearless Frank leads his team in defensive rebounds without the per-inch qualifier. Mason always seems to be right around the ball after an opponent’s shot goes up, thanks not just to being so quick but also being a human pogo stick.

Mason has 27 defensive rebounds, Perry Ellis 24, Landen Lucas and Jamari Traylor 22 apiece.

Other interesting numbers produced by what is shaping up as an entertaining basketball team that operates efficiently at warp speeds: Jamari Traylor is more active and less sloppy than in his his junior season. He averages a rebound every 3.7 minutes and a turnover every 28.8 minutes. A year ago, he had a rebound every 5.3 minutes and a turnover every 15.2. He probably won’t ever be the team’s most valuable player in a game, but he knows his role and is performing it well.

Even with Brannen Greene, the team’s best three-point shooter, four games into a six-game suspension, Kansas has shot way better from the outer limits this season (.457) than last (a nottoo-shabby .379). Greene (1.000), Evan Manning (.667), Wayne Selden (.571), Perry Ellis (.444), Svi Mykhailiuk (.393) and Devonté Graham (.391) all are shooting at a higher clip than last season’s team percentage. KU has shot 40 percent or better in all five of its victories, 20 percent in the Michigan State loss.

The only area in which opponents have performed better than the Jayhawks, who do their best work on the run, has come when the room grows quiet and everybody stands still. Kansas is shooting .693 from the line, opponents .748.

Greene (.875) leads, followed by Graham (.833), Mason (.792), Traylor (.786) and Hunter Mickelson (.750). Freshmen Cheick Diallo (.250) and Carlton Bragg (.400) are the only Jayhawks with more misses than makes.

Kansas has scored 53 or more points in 6 of its 12 halves of basketball this season, a stunning figure regardless of the level of competition. Six scorers average in double figures: Selden (17.2), Ellis (15.3), Diallo (13.0), Mason (12.5), Greene (12.0) and Graham (10.2). Averaging 9.5 points, Svi is knock, knock, knockin’ on a seventh’s door.

Jayhawks overcome slow start, clip Creighton

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

It’s rare that sophomore point guard Lauren Aldridge doesn’t enjoy the company of her teammates during a Kansas University women’s basketball victory, but she might have been pushed to the brink of mild annoyance Wednesday night at the end

of the third quarter if she wasn’t having so much fun.

The 5-foot-7 sophomore drilled a buzzer-beating three-pointer from more than 10 feet behind the arc, setting off a swarming mob of welcomers on her way back to the KU bench.

“I just liked the way my teammates responded,” Aldridge said after scoring a

game-high 18 points in KU’s 67-54 victory over Creighton.

“I thought Caelynn (Manning-Allen) tackled me. We sat on the bench and I was like, ‘Caelynn, you gave me whiplash.’ It’s fun whenever we have momentum plays like that and a team’s together enough to celebrate them.”

The extra-long three capped a highly productive

quarter. Although the Jayhawks (4-2) only led by two in the opening minutes of the second half, back-to-back three-pointers from freshman Kylee Kopatich and Aldridge got the offense rolling.

KU went on to shoot 9-for15 in the quarter, outscore Creighton 26-14 in the third Please see KU WOMEN, page 3C

KU volleyball wants winning feeling

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S TIANA DOCKERY hits during a short practice Wednesday at Horejsi Center. The Jayhawks will host Furman at 6:30 tonight in the NCAA Tournament.

Losing to Arkansas-Little Rock in the first round of the NCAA Tournament was a heartbreaking way for Kansas University’s volleyball team to conclude the 2014 season.

“It was not fun. We were very disappointed. Tears were shed. We didn’t like that feeling. It doesn’t go away,” KU junior middle blocker Tayler Soucie said of a five-set setback in the Kansas Expocentre. “We’re looking forward to not having that feeling again,” she added.

The (26-2) Jayhawks, who

say they carried the pain of that loss with them all offseason, even on an exhibition trip to Europe, open the 2015 NCAA Tournament against (21-8) Furman at 6:30 p.m., today in Horejsi Center.

Winner meets the winner of today’s 4 p.m. match between (26-5) Missouri and (24-10) Missouri State at 6:30 p.m., Friday. Survivor of the four-team tourney moves on to the San Diego regional next week.

Diallo’s debut makes impression on Selden

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

In case you could not tell by his reaction after Cheick Diallo’s highlight slam dunk late in the second half of Tuesday night’s 94-61 victory over Loyola at Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas University junior Wayne Selden Jr. was a little excited about Diallo joining the rotation.

— Tom Keegan appears “I might’ve been the Sunday nights on “The Drive” most eager out of anyon WIBW-TV. body,” Selden said after

Diallo poured in 13 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks in 16 minutes during Tuesday’s win. “At practice, he has times where he may fade away a little bit, but (against Loyola) there was no step back. He was in attack mode, everything was aggressive and I really love how he played.”

Unlike Kansas fans, who have been waiting weeks — and in many ways months — to see Diallo in action, Selden has seen a lot of

him. It’s just been during practice, when stats are not kept, officials are not used and opponents are familiar faces. Sure, that has given Selden enough exposure to Diallo’s game to know what he’s capable of doing and in what ways he can best help this team, but playing inside the practice gym in front of 30 people is a lot different than playing on the big stage at Allen Fieldhouse.

Highlight-reel footage notwithstanding, that aspect

of Diallo’s debut might have been Selden’s favorite part.

“He really surprised me tonight,” Selden admitted.

“He really carried himself well and he played really Diallo tough.”

Although Selden loved the way Diallo played and how he impacted the game on both ends, the junior wing, who seems to have hit his South Korea stride, believes Tuesday’s showing Please see HOOPS, page 3C Selden

FREE STATE SWIMMER BRETT CAREY, LEFT, CONGRATULATES Lawrence High’s Stephen Johnson after Johnson won the boys 200-yard freestyle event during a quadrangular meet Wednesday at Free State.

FSHS swimmers win quad

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High’s boys swimming and diving team only won three of the 12 events at its season-opening home quadrangular Wednesday, but the Firebirds showed off their depth, cruising to a team victory.

The Firebirds scored 453 points, outlasting runner-up Lawrence High, which finished with 367 points at the Indoor Aquatic Center.

Free State senior Ethan Kallenberger won in the 100 butterfly, junior Chad Bourdon posted the top score in the one-meter dive, and the Firebirds added a victory in the 200 freestyle relay with Kyle Sadosky, Landon Sloan, Brandon Bunting and Carson Ziegler.

Bourdon, who trained all offseason at Kansas University, scored 267.65 points during his diving routine, which was a few points higher than he started with at last year’s season-opening meet.

“I was feeling good for this season,” Bourdon said, “and now I’m like really pumped for the rest of it.”

Despite only winning

denied use of 1,300-seat Horejsi Center because of a since-discarded rule that prohibited NCAA matches from being held in buildings that seat less than 2,000 fans. Also, Allen Fieldhouse happened to be occupied for a basketball game against Florida.

“It didn’t feel that much like a homecourt advantage,” senior outside hitter Tiana Dockery said of the Expocentre experience.

“It was a little bit different. We tried to make it work for us. I think that we’ve fought long and hard to play in Horejsi.

We’re really excited we actually have the opportunity to do so. Dreams came true,” she added.

KU likes playing in Horejsi for many reasons.

“The fans and the band.

It’s always full in there.

You hear it,” Soucie said.

“I don’t even know how to explain it. They get pumped. You can hear them get pumped.”

“It feels more like a family vibe,” Dockery said. “I feel it’ll be good for the other teams as well because it’s not in such a huge arena and it kind of brings the fans closer to us. We’re used to playing in Horejsi so I think that’s a good thing for us.”

was just the beginning for the long, athletic forward from Mali who was forced by the NCAA to sit out five games following a fight for eligibility that lasted months.

“I think he can give us more,” Selden said. “He

three races, the Firebirds placed three swimmers in the top-five of six events to rack up points. Kallenberger added a secondplace finish in the 100 backstroke, Brett Carey took third in both the 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle, Matthew Wilkus was second in the 200 individual medley and Brandon Bunting took runner-up in the 50 freestyle. Chad Andersen also took second place in the 500 freestyle.

“It feels really good,” FSHS coach Annette McDonald said. “The depth really helped. … If you look at the seed time of them coming in, you can see that they dropped a ton of time from either last year or our intrasquad (scrimmage).”

Free State junior Corey Schultz-Bever took second place in the 100 breaststroke. He rejoined the team after moving to Bloomington, Indiana for his sophomore year.

“I didn’t make my best times or anything, but I did pretty well,” said SchultzBever, who also took fifth in the 200 individual medley. “I got close to making my best times. It was a real confidence booster.”

Lawrence High sopho-

mores Stephen Johnson (200 freestyle and 500 freestyle), Isaac Springe (200 individual medley) and Alex Heckman (100 freestyle and 100 backstroke) all won events, along with the 200 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay featuring those three sophomores, Chase Odgers and Patrick Oblon.

“It was pretty good, 100 free that was my best time overall in club and high school,” said Heckman, who swam the 100 freestyle in 50.04 seconds. “The medley (relay) was really strong.”

Odgers added a runner-up finish in the 100 butterfly and senior diver Izaiah Bowie took third place in the one-meter dive. However, the Lions were hoping to compete better against Free State, which is still without some of its top swimmers until after winter break.

“Just like last year, we saw that this first half of the season was when we had a chance to win,” Heckman said. “We only have two chances: today and then next week. So we’ve really got to push it next week.”

Both schools will compete in the Manhattan triangular on Wednesday.

No. 3 Michigan St. 71, No. 24 Louisville 67 East Lansing, Mich. — Denzel Valentine had 25 points and Bryn Forbes scored a season-high 20 to help No. 3 Michigan State come back to beat No. 24 Louisville on Tuesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

KU women

In order to set up a possible Border War contest against Missouri for Friday, KU must knock off a Furman team that has won five matches in a row, including a 3-0 win over Chattanooga in the title game of the Southern Conference Tournament.

Furman has defeated larger schools South Carolina and Clemson this season.

“They have great offensive balance,” KU coach Ray Bechard said. “She (senior setter Jo Wilks) gets a sense for who has it going and who doesn’t.

She distributes the ball extremely well. She always puts a hittable ball out there and puts her hitters (including SoCon player of the year Annie Bierman) in good position. One of the keys is, ‘How do we slow them down?’ They are hitting .250 and getting over 14 kills per set,” Bechard added.

He’s hoping the Jayhawks merely build on their successful season today.

“A lot of people say, ‘Hey you’ve got to rise to the occasion.’ Really you’ve just got to fall back on your training and trust your training,” Bechard said. “You don’t have to be special. You have to be good like you’ve been all year. I thought that was real wise advice from somebody we trust quite a bit.”

That would be the Marine who put the Jayhawks through a conditioning and team-bonding activity called “The Program” in the preseason.

“Everybody thinks, ‘Oh you’ve got to be this, got to be that.’ No, trust your training and all the things your teammates have done for you all year,” Bechard said.

The bottom line?

“We want to have a 2-0 week and figure out what lies ahead,” Bechard said, noting that’s been the mantra during the entire Big 12 season with matches on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

But what about the potential Mizzou matchup?

“Missouri State is going to have a lot to say with that. I’m sure Furman would, too, but those (KU, MU) are the two highest-seeded teams here. I think it’d be a great opportunity for our program. They’ve had an outstanding year. They might be a little disappointed they are not hosting themselves. I’m sure they were in the discussion ... I’m sure it would be highly entertaining and high-level volleyball,” Bechard said.

If KU beats Furman and MU topples Missouri State.

“They are scrappy and will play all-out just like any other team is going to,” Soucie said of the Paladins.

showed everything but he didn’t give us everything.

He has a lot more to give.

He’s a great prospect and he can become a great player.”

Consistency seems to be the area in which most believe Diallo can improve rapidly. Look no further than the first-half box score, which showed zero points, zero shots, one rebound, one block, one turnover and two

fouls in six minutes, for backing for their claim.

Diallo, who later said he didn’t know what he was doing at the beginning of the game, looked nervous throughout the first half and did not make much of an impact outside of being the inspiration for a standing ovation from the Fieldhouse crowd when he finally checked in at the 12:57 mark. That fact

makes Diallo’s final line all the more impressive, because just about every meaningful stat he produced came in the 10 minutes he played in the second half. That’s why Tuesday’s game seemed like the Cheick Diallo Show for a while. And that’s why Selden and the rest of the players on this roster believe the best is still ahead for Diallo at Kansas.

and take a 15-point lead into the fourth.

“Lauren’s been on fire,” Kopatich, who added a career-high 15 points, said of Aldridge’s successful, running hoist. “Once it was up, I kind of knew it was gonna go in. But it was just an extra boost of energy. We were already up, we were making plays and that shot just set it all.”

In the game’s opening minutes, Creighton (43) seemed poised for a road win. Five different Bluejays made threes in the first quarter, and KU trailed 19-10 entering the second.

However, Kansas countered with a threepoint-powered response.

Sophomore guard Chayla Cheadle made a left-corner three, KU’s first of the game, to cut the KU deficit to nine. The next trip down the floor, Cheadle set up Aldridge for another three. When Kopatich cashed a three off an Aldridge assist, KU had an 11-1 run.

Kopatich buried her second three on a pass from junior forward Jada Brown late in the second, and KU led for the first time since the opening minute, taking a 30-27 advantage into halftime.

sponse. “We were taking the ball out of the net, which was causing us to not be able to flow into offense and into transition. So whenever we started getting stops, we were able to do that a little bit easier.”

Kansas held Creighton to 2-for-13 shooting (1-for3 on threes) in the second quarter, and in the third the Bluejays shot 6-for-14 (2-for-4 from three) and turned the ball over six times.

Said KU coach Brandon Schneider, after KU’s first home game that followed a 1-2 road trip: “This is the kind of win we really needed, especially coming off a week where we didn’t feel like we played our best basketball.”

Kopatich, a first-year guard from Olathe, shot 3-for-3 from three-point range and grabbed a gamehigh seven rebounds — sharing that distinction with junior KU forward Manning-Allen.

“It’s awesome to have another shooter beside you,” Aldridge said of Kopatich, after making four of nine from long distance herself, “because any time you pull another shooter beside you it takes a little bit of the load off of yourself.

They’ve gotta respect Kylee on the three-point line and hug her a little bit, so that opens driving lanes for the rest of our team.”

The Jayhawks made eight of their 19 threepoint field goals.

Freshman Tyler Johnson, junior Timeka O’Neal and ManningAllen each scored eight points.

Kansas returns to the fieldhouse on Sunday to play host to St. John’s.

“I can think he can get better,” Selden said. “It was a good game for him, but he can’t be satisfied with that because it was a good game, it wasn’t a great game.” l Award nominees: KU’s Perry Ellis, Frank Mason III and Selden, appear on the Naismith Trophy College Player of the Year 50-player watch list by the Atlanta

Tipoff Club as well as the U.S. Basketball Writers Assn., Oscar Robertson Trophy (player of year) watch list, the organizations announced.

Diallo is on the USBWA Wayman Tisdale watch list for national freshman of the year.

NBA roundup The Associated Press

Warriors 116, Hornets 99 Charlotte, N.C. — Stephen Curry scored 40 points in three quarters and Golden State defeated Charlotte on Wednesday night to extend the best start in NBA history to 20-0.

On a night when the Hornets honored Curry’s father, Dell, the franchise’s career scoring leader, it was his oldest son who stole the spotlight by hitting 14 of 18 shots from the field and going 8 for 11 from 3-point range.

Stephen Curry, who grew up in Charlotte and starred at nearby Davidson College, scored 28 points in the pivotal third quarter. He hit 10 of 11 shots from the field, including all five 3s — many from well beyond the arc and in the face of a defender — to help the Warriors build a 21-point lead.

— Reggie Jackson scored 24 of his 34 points after halftime, and Detroit rallied from 16 down in the fourth quarter to beat Phoenix in overtime.

Andre Drummond, the worst free throw shooter in NBA history, hit a pair from the line with 14.3 seconds left to tie the game at 112, and Eric Bledsoe missed an off-balance jumper at the buzzer.

The Pistons started overtime with an 8-1 run, but a pair of missed free throws by Drummond helped Phoenix narrow the gap to 122-120 with 1:27 seconds to play.

The Suns had two chances to tie it in the last 35 seconds, but P.J. Tucker was called for an offensive foul and T.J. Warren missed a contested layup.

Marcus Morris made one of two free throws with 9.1 seconds left to make it 125-122, and Brandon Knight missed a 3-pointer that would have tied it.
