ith the historic gift announced last week, Kansas University Endowment exceeded its Far Above fundraising campaign goal of $1.2 billion two years ahead of schedule.

But the largest and longestrunning campaign ever conducted on behalf of KU will not end with that, leaders say.

Instead, KU Endowment will

refocus the remaining two years of the eight-year drive primarily on people, which campaign chairman Kurt Watson called KU’s best KANSAS UNIVERSITY resource.

In the increasingly competitive world of higher education, attracting the brightest students and best professors is critical, Watson said. He said Please see BOOM, page 2A

Kansas lawmakers were told this week that Gov. Sam Brownback’s plan to fill a $279 million budget gap in the current fiscal year only pushes the state’s budget problem down the road, making next year’s funding gap even worse.

Roberts non-factor in torture report

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

A report released by Democrats on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about the CIA’s use of torture on suspected terrorists says little about the role Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas played when he was chairman of the oversight committee.

Roberts served as chairman

525-page document by Democrats invokes his name just 16 times of the intelligence panel from 2003 until 2009, a period that covered much of the time when the CIA employed a program it referred to as “enhanced interrogation techniques.”

The 525-page report was released Wednesday. It harshly criticizes the CIA over the

program, saying the torture techniques employed were much harsher than the agency had described. It also concluded there was no evidence the use of torture produced useful information, contrary to the

“While I understand the need to re-balance the budget in light of unexpected shortfalls, the decision to delay state contributions to our underfunded pension system is disappointing,” Estes said.

And Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, also said she was disappointed because much of what Brownback proposed still has to be approved by the Legislature.

“I would have preferred to see the burden spread evenly throughout the state. That would certainly be a more fair approach than picking winners or losers and asking the Legislature to fill the gap,” Wagle said.

But Brownback said he thought it was his duty to fund as much as possible of the budget that the Legislature passed. And he said if the Legislature wants to reduce the size of state government, it’s up to them to pass a budget that does that.

“That’s the way these things are supposed to happen,” he said.

When lawmakers convene Jan. 12, Brownback said, will outline an “aggressive” two-year budget for fiscal years 2016 and 2017. But he offered few details about what that proposal will look like.

“We will deal with our situation. We will make proposals to deal with where we are and what we need to do as a state to move forward to address our budget issues,” he said.

traditionally grant the Statehouse press corps.

The budget gaps are the result of the latest consensus revenue estimates released last month. Largely because of the sweeping tax cuts enacted in 2012 and 2013, the Legislature’s non-partisan Research Department said there would be a $279 shortfall in the current fiscal year that would need to be filled with either spending cuts or revenue growth.

After that, researchers said there would be another $436 million budget gap in the fiscal year that starts July 1.

But in the budget plan Brownback announced this week, he only identified $78.5 million in actual cuts, some of which still have to be approved by the Legislature. The largest of those, $40.7 million, would be a reduction in the state’s contributions into the financially troubled Kansas Public Employees Retirement System.

State Treasurer Ron Estes, a Republican who servers on the KPERS Board of Trustees, criticized the reduction in pension payments, saying the pension fund currently has a $9.8 billion unfunded liability — the difference between its assets and the obligations it has already incurred for current retirees and active employees.

agency’s claims.

Roberts’ name is mentioned only 16 times in the report, mostly in footnotes as the recipient of various memos from the CIA. But Roberts does figure prominently in the report’s discussion of one highly disputed memo regarding a Sept. 4, 2003, briefing in which Stanley Moskowitz of the agency’s Office of Congressional Affairs said Roberts approved of destroying video recordings of suspects being interrogated.

Moskowitz’s “Memo for the Record” asserts that Roberts “winced” at a graphic description of the techniques used on one terror suspect. It also says that when he was told of the agency’s plan to destroy video recordings of interrogation sessions, “Senator Roberts listened carefully and gave his assent.”

That memo was declassified and made public in 2010, and in a New York Times report on the memo Roberts said through a spokesman that he never approved of the destruction of those videotapes.

The memo also says Roberts specifically declined to personally inspect any of the interrogation sites. “Quickly the Senator interjected

been driven by a group of other dedicated donors giving what they can.

Far Above launched in 2008 with an initial goal of raising $1 billion, said Jerome Davies, KU Endowment senior vice president for development. By the time KU Endowment held its public kickoff for the campaign in 2012, that goal had been raised to $1.2 billion.

The Selfs’ gift brings the total raised so far to $1.218 million, he said.

The previous campaign, KU First, had a goal of $500 million and raised $653 million over six and a half years, Davies said.

Davies said several new signature areas have emerged since the beginning of the Far Above drive, such as the Cambridge North Tower building project at KU Hospital.

A number of buildings underway now on the Lawrence campus also

have Far Above to thank, Watson said. Among them are the new business school, the engineering complex and the Allen Fieldhouse project expected to house James Naismith’s original rules of basketball.

Less obvious to passersby are programs like the Selfs’ scholarships for engineering students.

Those are an example of efforts for which Far Above seeks more donations.

“The quality of the students that are part of all those Self scholarships is just outstanding,” Watson said, adding that good students attract good faculty and vise versa. “They’re inextricably intertwined, and the focus needs to be both on students and faculty to keep KU at this high level.”

that he saw no reason for the Committee to pursue such a request and could think of ‘ten reasons right off why it is a terrible idea’ for the Committee to do any such thing,” the memo states.

But the report released Wednesday concluded there was no independent evidence to corroborate that the 2003 briefing ever took place.

“Neither the CIA nor the Committee has a contemporaneous report on the content of the briefing or any confirmation that the briefing occurred,” the report states.

It also notes in other portions that the CIA specifically denied Roberts’ request for the location of one detention site and to inspect another interrogation site at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The Journal-World tried to interview Roberts about the upcoming report during his recent re-election campaign. His office declined the request but issued statements via email saying Roberts was proud of his military service and of his chairmanship of the committee.

Some observers expected the report would also examine the Intelligence Committee’s own oversight activities during that period, with particular focus on Roberts.

Among those was former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, husband

of outed CIA agent Valerie Plame, who wrote in a Sept. 28 op-ed piece for the Huffington Post that the report would be highly critical of the Kansas senator.

“He protected those elements of the CIA following the BushCheney orders on torture, as the soon-to-be published Senate torture report under Senator Diane Feinstein (DCA) will make clear,” Wilson wrote. “It was Roberts who let it all happen. It was Roberts who aided and abetted the assault on the reliability of the intelligence community. It was Roberts who failed his duty, besmirched the honor of the Senate and undermined the nation’s values.”

Chris Anders, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union who had sued under the Freedom of Information Act for release of the report, told the JournalWorld in October that he expected the report to criticize the committee’s own handling of its oversight duties.

“The CIA is an important agency with a lot of power, and whether one agrees or disagrees with how it’s used that power, it should be accountable to other branches of government,” Anders said. “It should be part of the constitutional system of checks and balances.”

Disability advocate wins Dole Leadership Prize

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @LJWorld

Kansas University’s Dole Institute of Politics on Sunday honored John D. Kemp with the 2014 Dole Leadership Prize.

As a person who uses four prostheses, Kemp has advocated for people with disabilities for more than 50 years.

Kemp said the award was personally motivating.

“It means that I better keep working hard to Kemp earn it,” Kemp told the Dole Institute audience Sunday. “If it gives me a platform to talk about the issues facing people with disabilities, then I’m using it that way.”

Kemp is the president and

CEO of The Viscardi Center, a network of nonprofit organizations based in Albertson, N.Y., which offers programs for children and adults with disabilities.

Programs include preschool through high school education, vocational training and career counseling. The center also provides workforce diversification assistance to businesses.

Among the greatest obstacles facing the children his organization serves, Kemp said, are low expectations.

He would like to focus on raising the bar.

“I tell the kids at the school that one of them should be the next CEO of The Viscardi Center,” Kemp said.

“

If (the prize) gives me a platform to talk about the issues facing people with disabilities, then I’m using it that way.”

— John D. Kemp, president and CEO of nonprofit network The Viscardi Center

The leadership prize included a $25,000 award, which Kemp donated to The Viscardi Center. He said the center plans to use the money to improve training programs the school offers and enhance the technologies available. Technology is the great equalizer in education, Kemp said.

“Technology is just an asset to allow kids with disabilities to have access to curriculum and all other aspects of life,” he explained.

Kemp is the twelfth recipient of the Dole Leadership

Prize, which is awarded annually to an individual or group in public service leadership. Previous recipients include Nelson Mandela, the Wounded Warrior Project, former Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko, Women Air Service Pilots of World War II, former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani and former President George H.W. Bush.

Kemp graduated from Georgetown University and also has a law degree from

Topeka — The accountant and industry executive taking over as Kansas’ top insurance regulator next month says creating a more robust market is a top goal and argues that greater competition will address problems with the federal health care overhaul.

Insurance Commissionerelect Ken Selzer is confident that he can attract insurance companies into the state and encourage others already in Kansas to do more busi- Selzer ness. He said during an Associated Press interview that he’ll also build on the Insurance Department’s already strong antifraud and consumer education divisions.

Selzer, a Republican, takes office Jan. 12, replacing retiring Commissioner Sandy Praeger, who’s held the office for 12 years.

Praeger broke ranks with the GOP by praising the federal health care overhaul for expanding insurance coverage. Selzer says the department will look for ways to push back against the 2010 law championed by President Barack Obama.

Baker grads urged to take advantage of university connections

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @LJWorld

Standing early Sunday afternoon outside of the Collins Center soon after he received his bachelor of arts degree from Baker University, Christian Allen suddenly realized his day had another significance.

By virtue of alphabetical order, Allen was the first Baker student to receive his degree from the school’s new president, Lynne Murray.

“I think that’s awesome,” said Allen, a cum laude biology graduate

who will now look for work in a research lab.

“I’ll be the only one with that distinction.”

The Lawrence native was one of 232 students to receive bachelor’s degrees Sunday during the university’s fall 2014 commencement.

More than 250 graduate students Murray were honored later in the afternoon.

In brief remarks at the commencement, Murray stayed close to the graduation script of predecessor Pat Long. She

recognized the graduates, the school’s faculty, its administrators and, at the ceremony’s end, the parents, family members, spouses, partners and friends who supported the new graduates while they pursued their education.

In his commencement address, Tony Miller told the graduates they would continue to find support in the education they received at Baker and from the past graduates. A 1998 gradu-

ate, Miller went on to become a co-founder of the law firm Troppito Miller Griffin LLC in Kansas City and was recently elected to the Jackson County, Mo., Legislature.

“We have all of us been blessed with experiencing the transformative education with a criticalthinking focus and an insightful curriculum and with the intangibles the Baker experience instills — that network of people regionally, nationally and worldwide that you are a part of,” he said.

His introduction to the Baker community came through late Baker football coach Charlie Richards and such people as

Hawk also is wary about the state attempting to block or stall parts of the federal health care overhaul in the name of addressing problems, saying, “I would certainly hate to see our commissioner insert himself in work Congress ought to be doing.”

Selzer is careful not to criticize Praeger’s tenure, though he’s promising a “top to bottom” examination of the department.

He said his transition into office is going smoothly and described Praeger as supportive.

Also this month, Selzer attended a meeting of Gov. Sam Brownback’s council of economic advisers, saying he was prompted by his interest in attracting insurance companies to Kansas.

“We can do two good things for Kansas by bringing in insurance companies,” he said. “We can create a more robust market here, and we can bring more taxpayers to the state of Kansas — provide more jobs.”

Selzer said he knows many of the industry executives he’ll deal with once in office. As an example of how such ties help, he believes he can persuade firms catering to homeowners to take a longer-term view of the losses they cover, rather than focus on a few years’ worth from bad weather.

“I am confident I can encourage many of those companies to re-look at Kansas and take a more accommodating position for Kansans,” he said.

Praeger argued in a recent column that the Kansas insurance industry has thrived during her tenure, and state Sen. Tom Hawk, a Manhattan Democrat who serves on the chamber’s insurance committee, said he believes the industry received a “fair shake” with Praeger as commissioner. He said any commissioner’s ability to woo companies is limited by the state’s relatively small market.

New CrossFit gym open on Sixth Street W

e all have different types of training we have to do. For example, on a recent day I judged a holiday cookie contest and partook in my company’s holiday meal, so I trained by eating a piece of cake for breakfast. Some of you, however, may prefer lifting weights, tossing medicine balls and running sprints. If so, you now have a new place in town to do it all.

Jayhawker CrossFit has opened at 4931 W. Sixth St. (For those of you who are more cake-oriented, it is in the shopping center that includes Eileen’s Colossal Cookies and Six Mile Tavern, which I mention because I know you have to wash the cake down.) Lawrence native Andrew Armbrister is the owner of the new establishment, and he said he’s excited about helping people learn

about the CrossFit style of training.

“Most of it is barbells and kettlebells, and all sorts of things to make your body the machine instead of you sitting on a machine and moving your body,” Armbrister said.

(I’m all in, by the way.

Any workout program that involves kettle corn sounds good to me. I assume that is what kettlebells are.)

The gym puts an emphasis on doing group workouts. The business offers five classes per

day, and the classes are structured so a person of any fitness level can participate in any of the classes. Armbrister said the classes allow beginners to see experts in action, and everybody kind of feeds off each other. (Again, the kettle corn, I’m assuming.)

The program involves a mix of traditional weight lifting, basic gymnastics and sprint training, Armbrister said. Gym fees range from about $15 for a daily drop-in rate to about $115 to $125 for various monthly plans.

Armbrister is back in Lawrence after having taught personal training concepts in Las Vegas.

He said he worked for another CrossFit gym in the area, and knew that he wanted to open one of his own.

CONGRESS

Breaking down the spending bill

AP Photo

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, R-ARIZ., A STAUNCH OPPONENT OF EARMARKS, talks with reporters in Washington, D.C., after the Senate voted Saturday night on a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through the next fiscal year.

And the earmarks go to ...

Washington (ap) — School kids, truckers, marijuana smokers and fans of old-fashioned light bulbs are among the millions of people who had something extra riding on the big spending bill passed by Congress to keep the government running.

The $1.1 trillion measure approved by the Senate on Saturday night and sent to President Barack Obama is mostly about spending choices, such as adding $5.4 billion to fight the Ebola virus or trimming the Environmental Protection Agency’s budget by $60 million.

But it’s also packed with a mishmash of policy add-ons known as riders, many of which couldn’t get through Congress on their own.

Some things the bill would affect:

from 82 hours to 70. The trucking industry fought back.

Banking Loosens rules imposed after the 2008 financial crisis. The change relaxes regulation of high-risk investments known as derivatives; those rules were imposed to reduce risk to depositors’ federally insured money and prevent more taxpayer bailouts.

Banks said the crackdown stifled the competitiveness of the U.S. financial industry.

Marijuana Offers a mixed bag for pot smokers. The bill blocks the Justice Department from raiding medical marijuana dispensaries in states that permit them.

KU forms startup pipeline

Kansas University is partnering with a regional entrepreneur development program to translate more KU technologies into new products and startup companies, the university recently announced.

Pipeline describes itself as “an elite organization of the Midwest’s most successful, highperformance entrepreneurs.” Ten to 12 new entrepreneurs a year are invited to join Pipeline as fellows, who participate in a yearlong business leadership development program.

Passing it on An Illinois couple’s record-setting gift will have a lasting impact on Kansas University students.

W

hen Madison “Al” Self completed his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering at Kansas University in 1943, he probably didn’t imagine that he and his wife, Lila, someday would have the desire and ability to make such a significant impact on KU and its future students.

Yet, last week, KU announced a final $58 million gift from the estate of Al and Lila Self, a gift that brought the Selfs’ total lifetime and estate giving to KU to a total of $106 million. The donation makes the couple the most generous private donors in KU’s history.

Al and Lila Self both were born in Kansas and raised on Kansas farms.

They met while they were students at KU, and something about this university must have made a lasting impression on their hearts and minds.

In 1947, the Selfs acquired Bee Chemical Co., in Lansing, Ill., and built the three-person operation into an international producer of polymers and polymer coatings. When the Selfs sold the company 37 years later, the company had five U.S. manufacturing sites and operations in Japan and England. Al Self later served as chairman and CEO of Tioga International and president of Allen Financial LLC. The Selfs’ commitment to KU remained strong even though they lived most of their lives in the Chicago area and later in Hinsdale, Ill. About 25 years ago, the couple decided to start giving back to the university and its students.

Their gifts established several fellowship programs in engineering and pharmacy. The estate gift announced this week will provide direct support to benefit students, especially in math, science and technical fields. A new Self Graduating Senior Fellowship Fund also will be formed “To recognize graduating seniors for their achievements, as well as for their ability to attain goals that require exceptional tenacity.”

Tenacity is probably something Al and Lila Self valued in themselves and others. They obviously valued their experience at KU and wanted other talented and motivated students to enjoy some of the same opportunities they had at Mount Oread.

Over the last 25 years, KU officials had a chance to work with the Selfs as they produced a record legacy of giving.

It’s a vivid reminder of the powerful impact KU has on thousands of students every year and the powerful impact some of those alumni can have on the future of KU.

Iraq minorities plead for help In August, President Obama authorized air strikes to prevent the Islamic State from carrying out a genocidal slaughter of Iraq’s Yazidi minority, tens of thousands of whom had fled their besieged city and villages into barren mountains.

The Yazidi struggle continues. The Islamic State is selling off 2,000 captured women and girls as sex slaves. Six thousand Yazidis remain trapped on Mount Sinjar. Hundreds of thousands more — virtually the entire community — have been driven from their homes and are struggling to survive in refugee camps in Iraqi Kurdistan.

I just spent a day with Vian Dakhil, the only Yazidi member of the Iraqi parliament, whose passionate plea for help on Aug. 5 made her the face of the Yazidi struggle.

(Watch the YouTube clip of her speech and you will be moved to tears.) She is in the United States at the invitation of Temple University’s Dialogue Institute, and is now in Washington to ask the administration and Congress for urgent assistance.

Yazidi genocide The Islamic State attempted genocide against the Yazidi minority — a preIslamic, monotheistic faith — lays bare the vicious ideology that seeks to drag the region back to the seventh century and illustrates the need to destroy the group.

So Dakhil’s message deserves to be heard.

She is an accomplished, striking woman who taught biology at a university in Erbil, Kurdistan, before entering politics, and travels around Washington in a black pantsuit, her long, blond hair flying. She comes from a family of strong women (four of her sisters

The chopper crashed, leaving her with broken legs that are only now healing; she is still using one crutch.

“We are being killed for our religious convictions,” Dakhil told me with passion.

Indeed, the Islamic State targets members of her religious sect (who are mostly ethnic Kurds), which draws on Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism, because they are considered infidels.

Targeted for rape The jihadis are targeting other Muslim sects, as well as Christians, who have fled by the tens of thousands, but their women haven’t been taken as chattel. “ISIS looks for young Yazidi girls to rape, 11 to 13 years old, and does it over and over,” she

related emotionally. Some of the captives have been able to call home on cellphones and describe the horrors they have endured or witnessed. The three daughters of one of her cousins were taken and are still missing; the cousin was murdered.

When she lists the steps that are needed immediately to help the Yazidis, it’s not surprising that Dakhil starts with a request for international help in freeing the women who have been enslaved.

She has little faith that the central Iraqi government or its security forces can help rescue Yazidis in the future, nor does she have any confidence in Iraq’s neighbors to do so. Instead, she hopes the United States will directly arm and assist Kurdish peshmerga forces, which include Yazidis.

Lasting stigma Dakhil is also concerned about the fate of around 260 women and girls who have escaped from the Islamic State. Yazidi religious leaders have instructed families to welcome them back, but “because of cultural norms, these women will not be able to marry nor be able to lead normal lives.” After enduring such horrors, they, and those rescued in the future, will need counseling and job training to resume any semblance of normality.

“Help us develop programs to support these victims of ISIS brutality,” Dakhil urges. I can’t think of a better use for U.S. aid funds.

Dakhil also hopes that Washington will aid the Kurds in evacuating 1,200 or so families that are still marooned on Mount Sinjar.

And the several hundred thousand Yazidi refugees now living in tent cities in Kurdistan are suffering dire shortages of food, medicine,

Reconciliation unlikely Of the many poignant and disturbing things I heard from Dakhil, the most striking was that she believes there is no possibility of religious minorities returning to their old homes among Sunni Muslims. Yazidis (and Christians) in Iraq’s north all have stories about how their relatives were betrayed to the Islamic State by Sunni neighbors or worse.

“My uncle’s Sunni neighbors killed him, even though Yazidis and Sunnis have lived for hundreds of years as brothers,” she says. “Now everything has changed and I have no idea why.” Yazidis believe they can no longer trust their former neighbors, and many Iraqi Christians believe the same.

So Dakhil says the only chance for minorities to remain inside Iraq is if they are allotted a separate, autonomous region in the north once the Islamic State is rolled back, an area that might be attached to the autonomous Kurdish region.

This is an idea the central government opposes.

Her idea may be premature, but it deserves consideration at the White House and by Iraq’s government.

If Yazidi and Christian minorities are driven entirely out of the region, the Middle East’s future will look even bleaker than it does now.

Mental health issue To the editor: Prisons, jails and mental illness: 1. Kansas state prison system: According to state officials, one-third of inmates diagnosed with mental illness; nearly one in five inmates being treated with psychotropic medications.

2. Douglas County Jail: 196-bed capacity; preliminary report indicates that needs to be nearly doubled; 140 new beds, half of which are for the mentally ill! Estimated costs, $20 million to $30 million! Funding source? The county is considering forming a “building commission” whose main reason for existence is that they can issue bonds for such projects without voter approval.

3. State and local mental health resources: 1960s — 5,000 state psychiatric hospital beds; 2014 — for eastern Kansas, 206 beds at Osawatomie State Hospital. Lawrence — 1990s and before, 19-bed psychiatric unit as part of our non-profit community hospital, Lawrence Memorial Hospital; today — no unit, no beds.

4. More, locally: Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center — in the past year, 1,500 clients screened to

determine if they were dangerous to themselves or others; 946 were determined to need inpatient treatment; 233 were committed involuntarily.

5. Homeless Shelter: Staff estimates 40 percent of their population have severe mental illnesses.

Placing so many of our mentally ill in prisons, jails, homeless shelters and on the streets is a blight on our national character that should shame us all.

As a start, I would ask you to join me in opposing any new jail expansion until we set aside at least half of that projected cost for psychiatric hospital services here in Douglas County. We must do right by our mentally ill citizens, and this should be just the start!

Bill Simons, Lawrence

Contradiction To the editor: Thank you for your continued coverage of links between the Koch brothers and Kansas University.

Art Hall, director of the Center for Applied Economics, located in the KU Business School, recently obtained

an injunction to prevent KU from releasing the emails in his KU account (which are, by law, KU’s property).

On the one hand, he seems to be saying, “This is a private think-tank funded by private money — it’s none of the university’s business. Mitts off!”

But on the other hand, he’s also saying, “Oh, by the way, I’m really a KU employee. Therefore I enjoy the protections afforded by academic freedom.”

You can’t have it both ways. Either you’re on the Koch Brothers’ payroll or you’re on the public dime. If it’s the former, then fine — but do it somewhere else. If it’s the latter, then Mr. Hall should be subject to the same regulations as other KU employees.

whether this is politically motivated, although obviously there are some indications that it could be,” Prime Minister Tony Abbott told reporters in the nation’s capital, Canberra. “We have to appreciate that even in a society such as ours, there are people who would wish to do us harm.”

Heavily armed officers were lined up outside the cafe, and a man with a backpack inside the cafe could be seen walking back and forth in front of the glass doors. At one point, three people escaped via a fire escape at the side of the building, though it was unclear whether they had been among the cafe hostages.

Abbott said the National Security Committee of Cabinet met to discuss situation. U.S. officials confirmed President Barack Obama also had been briefed on the situation.

“The whole point of politically motivated violence is to scare people out of being themselves,” Abbott said. “Australia is a peaceful, open and generous society — nothing should ever change that.”

The hostage situation was still developing early this morning at the Journal-World’s press time.

Police break up last Russia denies aerial Sea and rotates NATO units in and out Hong Kong protests near-miss allegation military of member countries in Hong Kong — Hong Kong police this morning gave protesters 30 minutes to clear out of the third and final pro-democracy protest camp, putting an end to demonstrations that have blocked traffic in the southern Chinese city’s streets for 2 1/2 months.

Police told the protesters to leave “immediately” from the short stretch of road in Causeway Bay. A small group of protest leaders chanted “we will be back” and called on Leung Chun-ying, Hong Kong’s chief executive, to step down.

Last week, authorities shut down the protesters’ main camp near the heart of the city’s financial district and arrested 249 people who refused to leave for unlawful assembly.

The student-led protesters rejected Beijing’s plan to screen all candidates in the first-ever elections for Hong Kong’s top leader, but failed to win significant concessions from the government.

Moscow — Russia’s Defense Ministry on Sunday denied Swedish claims that for the second time this year a Russian military aircraft had nearly collided with a passenger jet over Sweden, insisting that the two planes were never less than 42 miles apart.

Scandinavian Airlines, which was operating the commercial flight, also said the incident had been blown out of proportion and that no danger had been posed to Friday’s flight from Copenhagen to Poznan, Poland.

Swedish military officials raised the alarm on Saturday by announcing that the Russian intelligence plane, which had turned off its transponders to avoid commercial radar, had come dangerously close to colliding with the passenger jet.

Russia has increased its military presence in the Baltic Sea area as tensions with the West have risen over the conflict in Ukraine. NATO also has air patrols over the Baltic

the region.

Senate cancels vote on SSA nominee Washington — President Barack Obama’s pick to head the Social Security Administration has run into more trouble after Senate Democrats canceled a procedural vote on her nomination.

Obama nominated Carolyn W. Colvin to a six-year term as commissioner in June. Colvin’s nomination cleared one procedural hurdle in the Senate Saturday. However, Senate Democrats canceled an upcoming vote, making it likely Colvin won’t get a vote until next year.

Republicans take control of the Senate in January.

Colvin’s nomination would have taken up valuable floor time as the Senate rushes to finish its year-end business. Senators could speed the process but that would require a bipartisan agreement.

streets were closed and offices evacuated. The public was told to stay away from Martin Place, home to the state premier’s office, the Reserve Bank of Australia and the headquarters of two of the nation’s largest banks. The state parliament house is a few blocks away.

Television footage shot through the cafe’s windows showed several people with their arms in the air and hands pressed against the glass, and two people holding up what appeared to be a black flag with white Arabic writing on it.

Zain Ali, the head of the Islamic Studies Research Unit at the University of Auckland, said it was difficult to read the message because media images showed only the lower part of the flag. But he believed it was the Shahada, or declaration of faith, largely because a black flag with white writing in a contemporary context often contains that message.

He said he could make out the word “Muhammad.”

The Shahada has been used by groups like alQaida and Islamic State but wasn’t invented by them, Ali said.

Sydney (ap) — A gunman took an unknown number of people hostage inside a downtown Sydney chocolate shop and cafe at the height of this morning’s rush hour, with two people inside the cafe seen holding up a flag believed to contain an Islamic declaration of faith.

More than six hours after the incident first erupted inside the Lindt Chocolat Cafe, New South Wales state Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione said police had not made direct contact with the gunman, did not know his motivation and were not sure how many people were being held inside.

“We have not yet confirmed it is a terrorismrelated event,” Scipione said. “We’re dealing with a hostage situation with an armed offender and we are dealing with it accordingly.”

The cafe is located in Martin Place, a plaza in the heart of the city’s financial and shopping district that is packed with holiday shoppers this time of year. Many of those inside the cafe would have been taken hostage as they stopped in for their morning coffees.

Hundreds of police flooded into the area,

Beaty secures five pledges

KANSAS WOMEN 62, ARKANSAS STATE 48

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Mason crucial for Kansas Timing isn’t everything, but it can play cruel jokes on those who don’t wait patiently before making decisions.

For example, Kansas University freshman guard Devonté Graham could have grown impatient waiting for a definitive answer on whether Naadir Tharpe would return for his senior year. Graham could have gone to his second choice.

But he waited, and a day after Tharpe left saying that he needed to go closer to home, Graham signed on with Kansas.

Tharpe, by the way, is playing for the Los Angeles D-Fenders of the Developmental League. He has played in 10 games for the D-Fenders (3-10) and is averaging 5.7 points, 3.8 assists and 2.7 turnovers.

He has totaled six minutes in the past five games, with a DNP-coach’s decision in three of those. Rosters fluctuate in that league, so that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be glued to the bench for long, or worse, all season.

Graham has been in the rotation since the beginning, so his decision worked out well for him and KU, although his bigtoe injury will sideline him for anywhere from four weeks to all season.

Conner Frankamp’s timing wasn’t so great.

Frankamp, whose goal is to play in the NBA, believes his best path includes playing point guard. He had Frank Mason and Graham ahead of him. So he quit before the season started.

He could have played the first semester and then quit and still be eligible to play for Wichita State, second semester next season.

Except now that Graham is down for such a long stretch, Frankamp wouldn’t have quit. Since coach Bill Self prefers to have Mason play some of his minutes off the ball, Frankamp could be staring at as many as 15 or 20 minutes a game at point guard.

Oh, well, no use crying over the bridge built to cross the spilled milk. Or something like that.

Now Frank Mason stands alone at the point, with Wayne Selden available to take over when Mason needs a quick breather heading into a timeout.

Mason carries a big burden as the team’s most indispensable player. He leads the team in minutes (32.4), assists (3.6), steals (1.4) and three-point shooting percentage (.500, tied with Graham), ranks second (10.6) to Perry Ellis in scoring and second (.879) to Brannen Greene in free-throw percentage and fourth in rebounding (4.0, season-high 10 vs. Michigan State).

Mason, a 5-foot-11 sophomore from Petersburg, Virginia, is that little dog who thinks he’s a big dog and is ready to prove it any time, anywhere. The team benefits from his contagious confidence.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD CHAYLA CHEADLE PASSES TO A TEAMMATE in the first half of the Jayhawks’ 62-48 victory over Arkansas State on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Gardner sits much of ‘ugly’ win

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

No one needed evidence of senior forward Chelsea Gardner’s worth to the Kansas University women’s basketball team, but her absence most of the second half Sunday against Arkansas State provided a reminder.

The Jayhawks had trouble putting away the Red Wolves at Allen Fieldhouse, with standout Gardner on the bench for 16 of the final 20 minutes. At least they proved there is enough talent in their backcourt to make things happen without their leader in a 62-48 victory.

Freshman guard Chayla

Cheadle scored 16 of her career-high 19 points in the second half, senior guard Natalie Knight produced her first career double-double (15 points, 13 rebounds), and KU won what coach Bonnie Henrickson described as “an ugly one” by spreading the floor and running a different offense than they would have if Gardner had been on the floor.

ASU (4-4) cut the Kansas lead to two with 11:24 left on a three-point play by Aundrea Gamble (game-high 20 points). But KU’s next four baskets came on layups — two from Knight, one from freshman guard Terriell Bradley and another from

senior Asia Boyd — and Henrickson said the Jayhawks (8-3) became comfortable by playing smart.

“We’re fortunate we’ve got four guards, and Asia and Chayla have some decent size. … But also, Jada (Brown, 6-foot sophomore forward) has become more confident and comfortable facing, playing at the three, and just trying to reverse the ball and get people threes.”

Boyd sunk two of her four from behind the arc, as did freshman point guard Lauren Aldridge (nine points, three assists). But Boyd (eight points, six rebounds) Please see KU WOMEN, page 3B

Last week, during his first week on the job, Kansas University football coach David Beaty wasted no time hitting the recruiting trail.

This weekend, 11 prospects made official visits to campus, and at least five committed to KU. Wide receiver Emmanuel Moore, a 6-foot, 190-pound two-star prospect from Northwest High in Justin, Texas, got things started with an oral commitment Saturday night. Moore’s commitment was first reported by Jon Kirby of JayhawkSlant.com.

Moore previously had committed to North Texas but chose Kansas because of his bond with Beaty. The big, physical wideout also drew interest from SMU and Minnesota.

Sunday morning, word surfaced about two more commitments from the Class of 2015. Trinity Valley (Texas) Community College offensive lineman D’Andre Banks and Dallas Hillcrest High athlete Arico Evans announced their commitments via Twitter.

Banks, a 6-3, 325-pound guard, told Kirby he had decommitted from LouisianaLafayette and picked Kansas.

“I just called ULL and told them I am going to be a Jayhawk,” Banks told Kirby.

“Coach Beaty is a great guy and has a plan for the program. I want to be a part of it. The facilities are excellent and it feels like a tightknit community.”

A little later in the day, Evans on Twitter posted a photo of himself with Beaty and said he had picked Kansas.

“I have officially committed to the University of Kansas,” Evans wrote.

“Let’s change this program around!”

Evans, a 6-2, 190-pound, two-star prospect ranked by Rivals.com as an “athlete,” had offers from KU, Indiana, New Mexico, New Mexico State, TCU, Texas Tech and Troy. This week was the first time KU reached out to Please see FOOTBALL, page 3B

Self: Kansas grades out OK so far

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s basketball players enter finals week having earned a passing grade on the hardwood.

“I would never have thought before the season we’d be 8-1 at this juncture, playing the schedule we’ve played with this many

young kids,” KU coach Bill Self said, looking at the big picture following Saturday’s 63-60 victory over No. 13 Utah in Sprint Center.

“I think Fran (Frachilla, ESPN) said we have the 11thyoungest team in the country, and we probably play younger than anybody right now. Even though statistically we’re not as good as

some people in our league, we’ve played a good schedule so far. We’re learning how to win ugly, which is still winning. You get confidence through that.”

The No. 10-ranked Jayhawks, who have four nonconference games remaining (Lafayette, Kent State, UNLV at home; Temple on road), have excelled on defense

(63.2 ppg allowed off 40 percent shooting) while struggling mightily on offense.

KU, which is two games better than last year’s ninegame mark of 6-3, averages 69.3 points a game, compared to the Andrew Wiggins-led Jayhawks’ 77.1 mark at this stage a year ago.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD JADA BROWN DIVES TO THE GROUND with Amanda Lawson of Arkansas State as they fight for a possession in the Jayhawks’ 62-48 victory on Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse.

played the role of facilitator on KU’s biggest threepointer of the game. She dribbled and kicked the ball to the right wing for Cheadle, who knocked it down and drew the foul on her way to a fourpoint play that pushed KU’s lead to 11 with 4:12 remaining.

“Chayla stepping up with that kind of contact and knocking that down is huge,” Henrickson said.

Added Cheadle: “I just shot it with confidence, and it went in, and I feel like that was a momentum play for our team to grow the lead.”

The next Kansas possession, Cheadle converted a long jumper from the opposite side of the floor.

Later, she turned a spinning drive into a layup to put Kansas ahead by 10 with 1:02 left.

“If the ball comes to me, and I’m feeling it, I’ll take it,” Cheadle, a 6-foot freshman from Columbia, Missouri, said. “But I’m looking for my teammates if they’re open.”

Gardner committed three first-half fouls, and Henrickson elected to keep her on the bench to start the second half to avoid a fourth. In her absence down the stretch, senior Bunny Williams grabbed seven rebounds in 12 minutes. Gardner didn’t sub in until the 7:45 mark of the second half, and she only lasted 1:11 before picking up her fourth and going right back to the cushy courtside seats.

KU’s best player finished with an unfamiliar stat line: two points, 1-for-5 field goals, 20 minutes. It snapped her 27-game streak of double-digit scoring outputs.

She hadn’t finished with two points since a loss to Duke in the Virgin Is-

“We make some mental mistakes,” said Self, whose squad ranks ninth in the league in field-goal percentage (41.4). “We’ve always played to get angles in the post, throw it in there, they trap you then you play out of it. If they don’t, you play behind it.

We don’t have a real good passing team, obviously (eighth in league in assists with 11.8 per game). We have to figure a way to do some things. We’ve got to become a ball-moving team or catch-it-and-driving team. We have to find a way to open up some driving lanes, the same thing all coaches (are trying to) do.”

“The guys believe we can win. Georgetown was a grind-it-out win (75-70). Michigan State was a grind-it-out win (61-56). Tennessee was a grind-it-out win (82-67).

Florida was a grind-it-out win (71-65). We’re learning how to win grind-itout games. I just wish our offense could get where we’re a little bit more fluid and we can play insideout a little bit better,” added Self, whose squad

Still, Gardner reached a bit of a milestone — her three blocks gave her 150 in her career, moving her past Aishah Sutherland for second place in program history, and still far behind Lisa Tate’s 269 from 1991-94.

Knight, who outdid her previous rebounding best by five boards, said KU just had to adjust to life without Gardner for a while.

“I think really we just relied on our defense in the second half,” Knight said, “and being able to get up in them and turn them over and then get points in transition.”

Kansas will have eight days off before resuming its nonconference schedule Dec. 22 at Creighton.

is an impressive plus-6 in rebound margin.

Saturday, the Jayhawk defense clamped down on Utah’s final offensive possession. Utes standout guard Delon Walker said he and fellow threepoint threat Dakarai Tucker were shadowed so closely, the ball found 7-footer Jakob Poetl, who didn’t even draw iron on a last-second, potential game-tying three.

“It was just one of our many sets, trying to get Dakarai a look,” coach Larry Krystkowiak told the Salt Lake Tribune.

“It’s not like you wanted to give Jakob a look, but we managed a second shot at it. We’ll move on.” l

Scouts galore: Scouts from 13 NBA teams attended Saturday’s KUUtah game.

“I thought it would be one of the better games in the country today,” Walt Perrin, Jazz vice president of player personnel, told the Deseret News.

him, but Evans said his high school coach’s close relationship with Beaty made him want to give KU a look.

Evans played quarterback for Hillcrest this fall but could play a number of positions in college.

He told Kirby the KU coaching staff told him he could play wherever he wanted to play.

Early Sunday afternoon, Jace Sternberger, a two-star defensive end from Kingfisher (Oklahoma) High, also committed to Beaty and KU. Sternberger, a 6-4, 225-pound prospect who also played tight end, picked KU over offers from New Mexico, Sam Houston State and South Dakota. He also had received interest from Kansas State, Memphis, Oklahoma State and Tulsa.

Two of this weekend’s 11 visitors already had committed to KU — wide receiver Kevin Thomas and quarterback Ryan Willis.

Late Sunday afternoon, KU picked up a commitment from a player I trust who has coach yet to visit.

Richmond had planned to visit KU and Louisville in January, but the 6-foot, 180-pound defensive back told Beaty his in-home visit with Reggie Mitchell convinced him that Kansas was the place for him.

“I trust coach Mitchell and coach Beaty and what they’re doing with the program,” Richmond told Kirby. “They told me they like my physical play and my speed. My mom was good with it. She’s at peace after our home visit with coach Mitchell.”

KU’s commitment list in the Class of 2015 is up to 17, leaving room for seven or eight more guys. This was the final weekend of the current recruiting period, and college football will enter a four-week dead period before recruiting can pick up again.

He’s been a play-by-play announcer for Jacksonville University and also hosted talk shows in Florida and Utah. l

Semi on the market: Former Ottawa High forward Semi Ojeleye is leaving Duke. The 6-foot7, 230-pound sophomore forward averaged 3.0 points and 2.3 rebounds in six games for the secondranked Blue Devils (8-0).

“We want to thank Semi and his family for their commitment to the Duke program for the last year and a half. He has been an excellent student and a great representative of our school and basketball program. He has been granted a full release and we definitely wish him the best,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement.

He chose Duke over Oregon, Stanford, Indiana, Arizona, Illinois and Wisconsin out of high school. He will have 2 1/2 seasons of eligibility remaining if he enrolls at a school before start of second semester.

Dear Annie: I am a 14-year-old boy. I’m on the swim team, and I take tap dancing lessons. But when I told my mom that I’d like to continue with both, she told me tap was a waste of time and that I would never go anywhere with it.

Only when one of my dance friends offered to take me to class after school, did she agree that I could go. She still does not believe in my talent, even after being told multiple times that my instructors think I have plenty. She even missed some of my most important solos.

It’s like she has drifted away from me. She used to love seeing me dance, and now she rarely does.

What should I do about her? — Gotta Dance Dear Dance: You can be patient and hope she comes around. There

could be many reasons why your mother suddenly doesn’t want to encourage you to dance, and it might help to ask her directly.

But as long as she is willing to let you continue, and you enjoy it, we hope you will keep it up. Not every activity turns into a career, nor should it. Dancing keeps you in good physical condition and is fun to do.

Dear Annie: My dad has smoked for the

A Syfy show that’s stuck in the ’60s I’m no expert on science fiction, but I know what I like when I see it. I like “Ascension” (8 p.m., Syfy) a lot. It combines speculative science fiction, alternate history and a murder mystery in a stylish, entertaining package.

Simply put, it asks what it would be like if the U.S. military secretly sent a mission with hundreds of families into deep space in 1963 on a vessel larger than the Empire State Building.

The trip to a distant galaxy takes a century, so those who land there would be the grandchildren of the original astronauts.

Stylistically, the audacious premise offers a glance at a present-day society literally stuck in the ’60s. Black-andwhite TVs, phonograph records, bouffants and sexist attitudes toward stewardesses are all there. Some might quibble that both the technology and the racially diverse crew on the Ascension are preposterous by 1963 standards, but, hey, that’s why they call it science “fiction.” The “Mad Men Lost in Space” style is a concept, not a straitjacket.

Brandon P. Bell stars as Oren Gault, an intrepid officer out to quietly solve a murder mystery without alarming the ship’s crew. He reports to the seemingly buttoned-downed Capt.

Denninger (Brian Van Holt), whom many suspect is in way over his head, including his scheming wife, Viondra (Tricia Helfer, “Battlestar Galactica”), who uses her position as the head of the ship’s sexbotlike flight attendants to procure favors and ferret out secrets.

Canadian-produced, “Ascension” aired in that country as a six-part, weekly drama. Syfy has repackaged it as a threenight miniseries, continuing on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Tonight’s other highlights

Final performances unfold on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC).

Family feuds prove illuminating on “The Great Christmas Light Fight” (7 p.m., ABC).

Wade doesn’t pick up on Zoe’s hints on the fourth season premiere of “Hart of Dixie” (7 p.m., CW).

The gang has to save a boy in time on Christmas Eve on “Scorpion” (8 p.m., CBS).

A cyber-security firm is hacked on “NCIS: Los Angeles” (9 p.m., CBS).

past 40 years. He used to smoke in the house, but after I had issues with bronchitis as a baby, he started going outside. The problem is, when he comes in after having a cigarette, he still reeks of smoke.

He stinks up the house, and when he pets the family cat, she smells like smoke, too.

My mother and I have told him that even though he actually lights up outside, bringing all that smoke back into the house is still dangerous to our health. He doesn’t believe we are exposed to anything harmful, because the odor and smokiness aren’t coming directly from a lit cigarette.

Isn’t this considered third-hand smoke? I don’t expect your answer to make him stop smoking, but maybe for our sake he will at least

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Dec. 15: This year you often find that a loved one has a way of creating uproar in your life. You will be able to deal with this successfully by totally ignoring this person’s behavior. You tend to see more funds come in this year, but if you are not careful, you could witness even more go out. If you are single, you are likely to meet someone while out running errands or even traveling. Excitement surrounds romance. If you are attached, the two of you focus on a long-term goal that you are likely to achieve. In the process, you will make many friends.

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) Try a gentle approach when trying to convince someone else that you are right. Tonight: Just say “yes.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might not understand why someone is trying so hard to please you. Tonight: Relax, then make a decision.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your creativity will take you away from the present moment. Tonight: So what if it is Monday?

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Your inclination will be to stay close to home. Others appreciate your attitude. Tonight: A cozy night, wherever you are.

stay outside a little longer. — Miffed in the Midwest Dear Miffed: According to the Mayo Clinic, studies show that thirdhand smoke clings to hair, skin, clothes, furniture, drapes, walls, bedding, carpets, vehicles and other surfaces, and builds up over time.

Your father is unlikely to stay outside very long in cold weather, and even if he did, it wouldn’t solve the problem, because the smoke clings to his hair and clothes when he returns. Some people recommend electronic cigarettes, not because they reduce cancer risk, but because they lessen the impact of third-hand smoke.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You have a way with words. You are likely to utilize that skill more than once today.

Tonight: Be spontaneous.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be questioning the stability of a long-term relationship. Tonight: Pay the bills.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) No matter how difficult a situation becomes, you seem capable of turning it around in your favor. Tonight: All smiles.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Take your time, and don’t give in to a knee-jerk reaction.

Tonight: Do a vanishing act.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll be at your best in a meeting with several or more people. Tonight: Do not be alone Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to take your time, while others seem to be in a rush. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Resist formalities, and remain open to new approaches and different philosophies. Tonight: Consider making a dream a reality.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Be careful about swallowing anger, as it could backfire and cause you a problem.

Tonight: Be with a favorite person.
