City Commission passes incentive policy overhaul

By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

When developers ask for public assistance from the city and its taxpayers, local leaders will now ask them exactly how their project

will benefit the community.

On a unanimous vote, the Lawrence City Commission made sweeping changes to the city’s economic development incentive policy. The policy will require developers

requesting incentives to specify the public benefit of the project as part of their application, among other new requirements.

“I think it’s really important to have at least somewhat specific guidelines that

are still flexible, instead of just shouting out that there is a public benefit,” said Vice Mayor Leslie Soden. “Well, what is that public benefit, how much is the benefit, is it worth it?”

The list of possibilities

includes about a dozen potential public benefits, such as affordable housing, primary job creation, in-fill development and tax base growth.

said Rock Chalk Park has great sporting facilities, but the Lawrence hotel market is not always in the best position to take full advantage of it. That goes back to the idea that hotels generally didn’t have high amounts of weekend vacancy prior to Rock Chalk Park’s construction. But the park can still be a great host for large events, if some participants are willing to stay in other nearby communities.

“To take full advantage of Rock Chalk, we need to build regional partnerships because we don’t have enough rooms, and we shouldn’t build new rooms just for that because it is a seasonal business,” Davidson said.

But make no mistake, Davidson is impressed with the facility. He said the track at Rock Chalk Park particularly could be a national selling point for the community. He believes the facility is of high enough quality to host Olympic trials, but even with area partnerships, we may be hard pressed to provide enough rooms for such an event.

However, as a reminder, big time events already are booked for the track facility, including the U.S. Junior Olympics in July 2017 and the Big 12 Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Championships in May.

of prevention is worth a pound of treatment.”

Berkland’s research focuses on ways to more effectively deliver drugs to their intended treatment targets in the body. His pill is designed to prevent iron absorption in people with hereditary hemochromatosis.

KU colleague Ken Audus, dean of the KU School of Pharmacy, actually has the disorder and must regularly donate blood to manage it.

“This project is particularly exciting to me personally from that perspective,” Audus said, in a news release from KU. “But, more broadly, this

development could lead to the development of additional drugs needed in several other clinical situations that prevent the absorption of other metals, as well as safer drugs that may actually remove metals from the body.

These could be breakthrough treatments.”

The startup company brings Berkland’s research, KU’s patent for it and investors’ money together. Here’s how the business side of Bond Biosciences works, according to Berkland.

Berkland and other researchers in his lab at KU came up with the invention and disclosed it

to the university. KU applied for and owns the patent for it, and licensed it to Bond Biosciences.

Berkland said he and Kansas City area attorney Mike Riley started the company and secured investors from New York. Riley and Russell Ellison from the New York group are Bond Biosciences’ two employees, and Berkland serves in a consulting capacity since he is a KU employee.

Money from the investors will help fund a contract manufacturing organization to make the drug product and do animal testing. Berkland said the goal is to be testing it on people by the end of 2017.

Bond Biosciences also will be able to compete for National Institutes of Health Small Business Innovation Research grants and possibly partner with other companies, Berkland said.

Bond Biosciences’ corporate headquarters is in New York, though much of the preclinical research will continue in Lawrence.

Bond Biosciences is Berkland’s third startup business at KU, he said.

According to KU, it’s the university’s 38th active startup company.

chairs the Kansas Sierra Club’s Air Quality Committee. “It really comes down to whether EPA, at any level, is going to address this problem in any way.”

Volland said the state’s current “Smoke Mitigation Plan” dates back to December 2010, in the final weeks of then-Gov. Mark Parkinson’s administration. It was aimed at reducing the number of days when levels of ozone and other pollutants exceed federal health guidelines.

Prescribed burning of grasslands in the spring is considered vital to the Flint Hills ecosystem because it kills off invasive weeds and shrubs before they take root in the ground and promotes growth of native grasses that ranchers depend on to feed cattle and other livestock.

But depending on weather conditions and the number of acres being burned at any one time, those controlled burns can have a serious impact on air quality in surrounding areas.

In the first five years after the state plan took effect, Volland said, communities in Kansas actually had more days in which air pollutants exceeded federal limits than it had in the five years before the plan took effect.

And because the winds in Kansas tend to come from the south during the months when burning occurs, communities as far away as eastern Nebraska sometimes feel the heaviest brunt.

“It can be a pretty significant problem for us,” said Gary Bergstrom, senior environmental health specialist for the LincolnLancaster County Health Department. “We’ve seen some funky stuff happen.”

One of the biggest public health concerns, Bergstrom said, is what’s known as “fine particulate matter,” tiny particles of ash and soot in the air that can cause shortterm health problems, even for healthy people, and which can severely aggravate chronic health problems such as asthma

and heart disease.

In April 2014, air quality monitors in Lincoln recorded four days when fine particulate matter exceeded the EPA’s recommended levels, including one day when it surpassed 150 parts per billion, the point considered to be “unhealthy” air quality, and more than three times the limit for what is considered “good” air quality.

The EPA requires states and many municipalities to monitor air quality on a regular basis, and areas that routinely exceed federal pollution limits can be ordered to take corrective action.

Until recently, though, Volland said Kansas could ask for exemptions for what are called “exceptional events,” essentially deleting them from the data because they don’t necessarily occur on a regular basis.

But in October, Volland said, EPA tightened its rule so that when pollution levels exceed federal limits three or more times in three years, they are con-

sidered “historically documented or known seasonal events” that can trigger a requirement for a new mitigation plan.

Officials at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Kansas Department of Agriculture did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday.

Volland said it’s possible that the EPA won’t issue any orders for Kansas in the waning days of the Obama administration. But he said he does think the regional office, which has jurisdiction over both Kansas and Nebraska, still has plenty of time to initiate discussions between the two states to come up with a better plan.

“I think this thing is going to be pretty much under the radar for the first year when there’s going to be a long confirmation hearing for the new EPA administrator,” Volland said. “... I think they’re going to be arguing about so many things (at the national level), they won’t get around to this for quite a while.”

have been criticized for not providing enough of a public benefit.

Soden also said she supported a provision of the policy that bars applicants who owe delinquent taxes or debts to the city — whether on an individual basis or via an LLC the applicant has a stake in — from receiving incentives.

An applicant will also have to disclose all the owners in a company that applies for incentives for the city’s records. Both the tax and ownership disclosures will be made via sworn affidavit, and will have to be resubmitted annually.

The city recently found

that a local developer who was awarded millions in incentives has ties to a pair of LLCs that owe years of back taxes. In a separate incident, the city also recently filed a lawsuit against another local developer that alleges he used an incentives agreement to defraud the city.

The policy also includes a provision that requires applicants to keep records related to the incentives for three years and reserves the city’s right to audit those records.

The commission began discussing the city’s policy for economic development incentives in

June 2015, and city staff, three advisory boards and Douglas County officials also provided recommendations. The nearly 50-page policy includes changes to both the application requirements and review procedures.

Among its provisions, the policy requires residential projects seeking incentives to set aside 10 to 15 percent of the units as affordable housing, outlines application fees and for certain incentives, requires a “but for” analysis that proves the project would be financially incapable of moving forward without the incentives. The policy

also removes previously established guidelines that capped Neighborhood Revitalization Act incentives at a 50 percent rebate over 10 years.

Commissioner Lisa Larsen said she thought the policy struck a good balance.

“I’m glad to see the policies still contain a level of flexibility that I think is extremely important for us to be competitive with other cities across the state here. But at the same time, we’ve added some measures that we hope will help us in the future making sure it’s evidencebased,” Larsen said.

At the same time, some

Berkland said he applied an engineering mindset to this problem.

“As a person in pharmaceutical chemistry at KU and as an engineer, I’m always looking for the simplest solution, I guess,” he said, “and this is one of those diseases where if you just gave people something that would prevent the problem, that seems like a pretty simple solution.”

As the saying goes, Berkland said, “an ounce

Earlier this week, the Kansas chapter of the Sierra Club wrote a letter to the EPA’s regional administrator in Kansas City, Kan., urging the agency to order the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to adopt a mitigation plan to protect air quality in the region.

But the action comes with just four weeks remaining before Presidentelect Donald Trump’s new administration takes the reins of the federal government, including the EPA, and while Republicans in Congress are urging the Obama administration not to enact any new regulations before the Trump administration takes office.

“We think there’s a better chance of Region VII to do the right thing now rather than wait for whatever comes afterwards,” said Craig Volland, who

While the question of whether a project would provide a public benefit often came up as part of the old incentive process, the new application will formalize the public benefit and include a performance review.

The policy changes come in the wake of public discontent over the use of economic development incentives by the city. Some incentives handed out over the past several years

Analysts raise concerns about proposed Westar sale Wichita (ap) — Westar Energy is putting shareholder enrichment ahead of reasonable electric rates for customers with its proposed sale to Kansas City Power & Light, according to state analysts.

Analysts representing the staff of the Kansas Corporation Commission and the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board raised the concerns in hundreds of pages of testimony filed last week, the Wichita Eagle reported.

“

Westar’s franchise is a privilege bestowed by Kansas to serve the public; it is not Westar’s asset to sell for profit.”

— Kansas Corporation Commission staff consultant Scott Hempling

“Westar’s franchise is a privilege bestowed by Kansas to serve the public; it is not Westar’s asset to sell for profit,” KCC staff consultant Scott Hempling testified.

A Westar spokeswoman said the company remains confident of completing the merger

next spring.

KCP&L’s parent company, Missouri-based Great Plains Energy, is seeking to buy Westar. The $12.2 billion transaction would involve taking on $3.6 billion in Westar debt.

If the merger is approved, Westar and KCP&L will be-

come a single electric company straddling the Kansas/Missouri border, with 1.5 million customers.

State analysts said higherthan-necessary electric bills will occur because the merged utility would be financially weakened from Westar shareholders being paid $4.8 billion more than the book value of the company’s assets.

“This transaction is being driven by the desire to handsomely reward Westar share-

Affidavit: Oak Hill stabbing victim was alleged attacker’s roommate

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A man stabbed multiple times and critically injured in November was the roommate of the man who attacked him, police said.

The morning of Nov. 18, police found 52-yearold James William Conlon with multiple stab wounds to his chest and back in a home at 1518 Oak Hill Ave., according to an

arrest affidavit filed in Douglas County District Court.

One police sergeant n o t e d Anderson Conlon’s intestines were “lying outside” of his body when they arrived.

Conlon was hospitalized after the incident, and his roommate,

32-year-old Wynn Sterling Antrim Anderson, was arrested.

In late November, Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said Conlon’s condition had been changed to “stable.” Lawrence Police Department spokeswoman Kim Murphree said Tuesday that she had no additional updates on Conlon’s condition.

Anderson now faces felony charges of

attempted second-degree murder and making a criminal threat. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Tuesday afternoon, Anderson appeared in court and a date was set in early 2017 for a preliminary hearing.

An arrest affidavit is a document written by police explaining the grounds for an arrest.

Reported fight at KU fraternity leads to lawsuit

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A reportedly drunken and racially motivated fight at a University of Kansas fraternity has led to a civil lawsuit accusing the fraternity’s local and national chapters of negligence.

The lawsuit, which claims the Theta Epsilon chapter of Pi Kappa Phi violated Interfraternity Council rules regarding alcohol, was filed by attorney Jerry Levy on behalf of Philip Hawley in Douglas County District Court.

The lawsuit, filed in October, also claims the national chapter of Pi Kappa

Phi is liable for the local chapter’s conduct regarding “its failure to educate, supervise and train its members,” and requests damages in excess of $75,000.

The evening of Oct. 31, 2015, Hawley, a KU student, arrived at Pi Kappa Phi, 1537 Tennessee St., for a party alongside two of his friends, who are African American, the lawsuit says.

In violation of Interfraternity Council rules, “alcoholic drinks were served to members of the public who were invited to the party.”

The lawsuit argues hard liquor served at the party caused fraternity members to become drunk and use the “offensive language, which directly resulted in (Hawley) being assaulted and battered.”

The fraternity’s national chapter is at fault, according to the lawsuit, by failing to prevent the drunken and offensive conduct.

victims, Joseph Schaefer, and his guardian. Shinn filed a motion to stay the civil case in June so she could resolve her criminal case.

Now that Shinn has been convicted of the felonies and sentenced to serve 10 days in jail and spend two years on probation, Schaefer’s civil case may continue.

The civil lawsuit is seeking at least $750,000 in damages, listing Shinn, a former supervisor, and their employer — ResCare Inc — as defendants.

ResCare is a national company and the largest private in-home service provider for the disabled, Kristen Trenamen, the company’s director of communications, said in May. The company has more than 900 employees in Kansas and 50,000 across the country.

The lawsuit argues that Shinn and her former supervisor, Kattie Johnson, along with the company, neglected Schaefer’s safety as a way of maximizing company profits.

Neither Shinn nor Johnson is employed by ResCare anymore, Trenamen said.

During her criminal sentencing, Shinn was also ordered not to work in a caregiving position for the duration of her probation.

A hearing is scheduled for Schaefer’s civil lawsuit on Jan. 6, when attorneys will exchange evidence to be used in the trial as a part of the discovery process.

Anderson will have an opportunity to respond to the allegations in the affidavit at his preliminary hearing, and a judge will determine whether there is enough evidence to order him to stand trial.

In late October, Conlon told police that Anderson “screamed and yelled” at him after an argument over a cellphone, the affidavit says. Conlon said he was staying in the home, which is owned by Anderson’s parents, and trying to fix it up.

Conlon told police he knew Anderson had a machete and was so afraid of being hurt that he hid the weapon inside a nearby shed, the affidavit says.

Police then asked Conlon “if he believed Wynn’s actions scared him enough to think he was going to physically hurt him,” the affidavit says. Conlon replied “yes.”

Anderson was not arrested during the October

In addition, Otto filed a motion to dismiss the suit, claiming if Hawley was injured, the reported actions of the fraternity members “were appropriate, warranted, in self-defense or in defense of its property and or persons, and reasonable under all circumstances existing at the time.”

Police were not dispatched after Hawley was reportedly injured.

Lawrence Police Department spokeswoman Kim Murphree said officers did not respond to the address either on Oct. 31 or Nov. 1.

KU spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said, however, that several university fraternities and sororities hold security

contracts with Mil-Spec Security Group “to monitor their properties over the weekends and at other times when desired.”

Those contracts are held privately between the fraternities, sororities and security company, BarcombPeterson said, and KU does not coordinate the arrangement on their behalf.

Contacted in October and again on Friday, representatives from MilSpec did not return phone calls seeking information on whether the company responded to Pi Kappa Phi for the reported fight.

A trial date has not yet been set for the lawsuit, though the parties are scheduled to appear in court in January for a case management conference.

incident, booking logs show, although Rhoads said he was arrested later that same day after he was “outside without any clothes on causing a disturbance.”

No charges were filed against Anderson for the reported indecent exposure.

Before police found Conlon seriously injured inside his Oak Hill Avenue home, deputies found Anderson on foot west of the home with “his shorts down to his ankles” and blood on his shirt.

Anderson was not injured when deputies

found him and he was arrested shortly thereafter.

According to court records, Anderson has lived at the Oak Hill Avenue home, across the street from Oak Hill Cemetery, since at least 2012. He has been convicted of at least three counts of domestic battery and one count of assault in the past six years.

Anderson is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing at 2 p.m. on Jan. 24. He remains an inmate in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of a $105,000 bond.

Congratulations to Baker The university’s football program is becoming a powerhouse of talent and regional pride.

T

he Baker University Wildcats are to be congratulated on a tremendous football season.

Baker went 14-0 before losing 38-17 to the University of St. Francis Saturday in the NAIA national championship game in Daytona Beach, Florida.

The run to the championship game capped a remarkable four-year stretch for the Wildcats and Coach Mike Grossner. The seniors on the team compiled a 44-8 record, won three conference championships, made it to the final eight in the NAIA playoffs three times and to the championship game this year.

The championship game appearance was Baker’s first in the 30 years since the 1986 team lost in the championship game.

This year’s team led the nation in passing offense and was second in scoring behind junior quarterback Logan Brettell, who was named the NAIA Player of the Year earlier this month. Brettell completed 70 percent of his passes for 5,073 yards and a remarkable 51 touchdowns.

The Wildcats featured five players on their roster who were selected to the NAIA Coaches All America Team, including Brettell on the first team and junior wide receiver Cornell Brown, junior defensive lineman Josh Kock, senior defensive back Darrain Winston and junior placekicker Clarence Clark on the second team.

Grossner has now led the Wildcats to the NAIA playoffs five times since taking over as head coach in 2004 and resurrecting the program. Only once in the past five years has Baker missed the playoffs and that was the 2014 season, when Grossner coached the Wildcats to an 8-3 season while battling squamous cell carcinoma, a form of cancer in his neck.

Grossner has built the Baker program using a bevy of Kansas players. Fortyfive players on this year’s roster hail from Kansas, including seven from Lawrence, two from Eudora and one from Baldwin City. Baker is building a reputation as a small-school football power, something that helps to raise the profile of the school of just under 1,000 students in Baldwin City. “(It is) fantastic for these guys and what they accomplished,” Grossner said after Saturday’s championship game loss.

“Look out at the crowd, look at the following that came all the way to Florida for us.

You’ve got to reflect on the season as a whole, and really look at it as a great year for these young men and what they accomplished.”

It’s hard to say it any better than that.

Congratulations to the 2016 Baker Wildcats on an amazing run and a great season.

Ambiguity can be dangerous, useful Washington — Most presidents wait until inauguration before sparking their first foreign policy crises.

Donald Trump has a month to go and he has already wandered into two: one with China and one with Russia.

How will these foreign challenges shape Trump’s early months in office? His freewheeling style seems to have discombobulated China, which has some unexpected benefits. But on Russia, Trump is on his back foot. He proposes befriending a nation that, according to an Oct. 7 statement by U.S. intelligence agencies, carried out a covert cyberassault “intended to interfere with the U.S. election process.”

Trump can control his destiny with Beijing. With the Kremlin, not so much.

Watch this space.

In his early foray with China, Trump created some useful ambiguity and negotiating room by daring to raise the unmentionable topic of Taiwan in taking a congratulatory call from its president. He doubled-down somewhat impulsively after that, with a Twitter storm of messages and a Dec. 11 interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace that challenged the framework of U.S.-China relations: “I don’t know why we have to be bound by a ‘one China’ policy unless we make a deal with China having to do with other things, including trade,” Trump said. The president-elect’s message seemed to be that China would have to make concessions if it wanted to maintain the status quo.

“

Several prominent foreign policy analysts have argued there’s some benefit in creating ambiguity and uncertainty about what the U.S. might do abroad, especially after years of prudent and predictable Obama administration policy.”

Does Trump really mean to blow up the U.S.-China relationship? His strident comments came before inauguration, which makes them not quite official; he has room to maneuver once he’s in office. The Chinese aren’t used to such ambiguity from America. Usually Americans are the straightforward ones, while Beijing emulates Sun Tzu’s counsel to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Trump’s Taiwan tirade flummoxed Beijing. “Trump hits out with a hammer to the east and a club to the west, and his real thinking is very difficult to fathom,” said an editorial this week in People’s Daily. Facing this disorienting president-elect, the paper argued, China

should “stay steady on its feet, keep a good grasp of developments, calmly respond, and that’s it.”

Henry Kissinger, the American master of diplomatic ambiguity, sees some benefit in Trump’s unpredictability. “Donald Trump is a phenomenon that foreign countries haven’t seen,” he told CBS’ John Dickerson on “Face the Nation” last Sunday. He said Trump has an opportunity to be a “very considerable president” because he is filling a “partial vacuum” left by President Obama in foreign policy and “asking a lot of unfamiliar questions.”

Kissinger’s praise is interesting given that he was an architect of the “one China policy” that Trump has destabilized. Perhaps Kissinger is simply trying to flatter the president-elect.

But perhaps he sees benefit in the way Trump has reintroduced new dynamics in the triangular relationship among the U.S., Russia and China — by taking a harder line with Beijing and a softer one with Moscow. Kissinger did the same, in reverse, in the 1970s.

Senior U.S. officials have been pondering how to take advantage of Trump’s disregard for precedent, as in his comments about Taiwan, and the confusion he has engendered on major international issues. Officials are exploring whether this approach, reckless as it may appear, may open up possibilities for U.S. diplomacy.

Several prominent foreign policy analysts have argued there’s some benefit in cre-

ating ambiguity and uncertainty about what the U.S. might do abroad, especially after years of prudent and predictable Obama administration policy. But they caution that this is a high-risk strategy, which may create consternation among allies, even as it enhances deterrence of adversaries.

“Mutual deterrence could be relatively stable,” between the U.S. and China as Trump seeks a more advantageous bargain, argues Philip Zelikow in “The Art of the Global Deal,” published recently in The American Interest. But, Zelikow cautions, whatever bold deals Trump seeks, “it is a time to avoid unnecessary fights.”

Iran is another example where Trump’s rhetoric has introduced new uncertainty for a country bidding to challenge U.S. regional power. In two recent visits to Abu Dhabi, I’ve heard many Arab officials enthuse over Trump’s defiant stance toward Tehran. This support for Trump, however unlikely it sounds given his anti-Muslim comments during the campaign, has been reinforced by his decision to name retired Gen. James Mattis, an Iran hawk, as defense secretary.

Russia is the wild card.

A stable alliance between Trump and Putin is hard to imagine. And as U.S. intelligence agencies, backed

by Congress, continue to explore the evidence of Russia-gate, this is a bundle that will arrive at the Trump White House marked: “Handle with Care.”

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 21, 1916: years l “Unhappy marago ried life caused nearly IN 1866 one-fourth of the civil actions filed in the Douglas county district court during 1916. While many of the cases filed never reached a hearing, thirty-three resulted in the court’s granting divorces…. Many of the troubles of the married people were probably taken to court hastily, as numerous cases were dismissed without a trial.”

Cabinet nominees are in for a rude awakening President-elect Donald Trump is filling his Cabinet with lions of industry and finance, not surprising for a businessman, and the left has predictably focused on the various conflicts of interest that might arise for his nominees.

But the likelihood is that most will make it through confirmation, perhaps with a few bumps — and that is where the real challenge lies. The problems won’t end even if each of these men (and his business picks are mostly men, an exception being Linda McMahon, who received a sub-Cabinet nomination) is willing to be scrupulous in avoiding conflicts of interest.

They still face enormous challenges once they take office because they have never worked in government.

As someone who has spent most of her career outside government but has also headed a small federal agency and had two stints working in the White House, I can tell you that the federal government is a world unto itself. The normal relationships between employer and employees don’t exist.

As the head of a department or agency, you pick very few of your own employees, and you have little or no authority to get rid of those employees you

Linda Chavez inherit. Worst of all, you can’t reward outstanding service (except with very modest bonuses, which pale in comparison with those in the business world). There is no such thing as pay for performance, which is the rule in business. Nor is it even possible to promote the best hires, except within the constraints of federal civil service rules, and you can’t move employees around easily from one job to another.

The word bureaucracy became a synonym for inefficiency and burdensome rules for a reason. Working within the bureaucracy requires a talent and patience that few CEOs, in my experience, possess. I have served on corporate boards for more than 25 years and worked closely with CEOs and others in the executive suite. What I’ve seen tells me that the businesspeople in the Cabinet are in for a rude awakening.

In the business world, competition is stiff. There’s no such thing as lifetime employment for the top jobs. If you do your job well, you can expect to advance, and you can expect to be rewarded handsomely. Employees receive a base salary and, in many cases, bonuses and stock or stock options — but all are tied to performance.

Companies establish compensation programs that look at both individual and company performance. Though various administrations have tried to mimic private-sector practices by setting up performance reviews, the processes bear little in common.

A company sets its budget for the year and then evaluates whether the employee met his or her target. Even those whose jobs don’t directly affect revenues or profits, say the general counsel or the head of human resources, usually receive a portion of their bonus based on overall company performance. If the company does well, makes more money and, in public companies, sees its stock price go up, executives receive rewards. In government, Congress appropriates the money to fund departments and agencies, and the Office of Personnel Management sets

wages on a set scale that evaluates job titles and responsibilities. There is very limited flexibility within the government system.

One of the biggest difficulties the new Cabinet members will encounter is in picking their own team. Traditionally, the president appoints sub-Cabinet officials, sometimes with little input from the department secretary. And so it goes, down the line, with assistant secretaries unable to choose their direct reports, which is the prerogative of the transition office in the early days and of White House presidential personnel later on. Cabinet officials in the Trump administration may have more latitude than previous agency heads did because the campaign did not have the legions of volunteers and donors expecting political appointments. But even if the new secretaries can pick more of their own people, the total number of political appointments throughout government is tiny — some 4,000 jobs out of a civilian federal workforce of 1.4 million.

The greatest culture shock for these new Cabinet members who’ve never worked in government, however, will be how little authority they have

to make major changes in their departments. Divisions within agencies often operate as fiefdoms, with their own ties to Congress and appropriations staffers who fund their work.

Reorganizing is difficult and painful. Worst of all, firing anyone in the federal government, even for cause, is a tedious process for which few have the stomach. And forget about getting rid of someone without an ironclad show of gross incompetence or malfeasance. Donald Trump’s famous “you’re fired” won’t be heard often after he takes over in January.

In yet another sign of how po-

Police officers inspect the crime scene in Berlin on Tuesday, the day after a truck ran into a crowded Christmas market and killed several people. A “soldier of the Islamic State” carried out the attack, according to a claim by the terrorist group.

U.S. CITIES STEP UP SECURITY EFFORTS American officials say there are no specific threats; ISIL claims responsibility for Berlin attack Aamer Madhani, Kim Hjelmgaard and Jane Onyanga-Omara l USA TODAY

Cities around the USA on Tuesday bolstered security around holiday events after a deadly attack on a crowded Berlin Christmas market that the Islamic State claimed one of its followers carried out.

The terror group claimed responsibility for the attack that killed 12 and injured 50 as German authorities resumed searching for the truck driver who plowed into revelers at the Christmas market.

Authorities released a suspect late Tuesday whom law enforcement officials had detained shortly after the attack a day earlier.

Prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence tying the suspect to the “act of terrorism.”

In a statement through its Amaq News Agency, the militant group — also known as ISIL or

ISIS — called the attacker a “soldier of the Islamic State.”

The attack on the Christmas market had similarities to vehicular assaults the Islamic State claimed responsibility for on the campus of Ohio State University last month and in Nice, France, in July, raising concerns of some U.S. and European police departments.

In New York and Chicago, law enforcement officials said they had no intelligence that indicates specific threats to their cities, but they have increased police presence around Christmas-related events after the Berlin incident.

VA reverses course, releases health care quality data Public can now see how centers fare Donovan Slack @donovanslack USA TODAY

The Department of Veterans Affairs has quietly released quality-of-care ratings for its medical centers across the country, despite years of refusing to share them with the public.

The move follows a USA TODAY investigation that revealed ratings for 146 VA medical cenWASHINGTON

ters for the first time this month.

VA Secretary Bob McDonald complained at the time that their publication across the USA TODAY Network caused “unwarranted distress” to veterans and could dissuade them from getting care.

Last week, according to an internal memo obtained by USA TODAY, the agency posted updated ratings on its website and included indicators of whether hospitals were improving or declining.

This allows members of the public to see for the first time how their VA medical centers have fared over time.

“It shouldn’t take news reports and public pressure for the VA to make these ratings available to the public.”

Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich.

The VA rates centers on a scale of one to five stars, five being the best and one being the worst. It bases the ratings on dozens of factors, including death and infection rates and wait times.

The newly posted ratings show VA hospitals in Albuquerque, Detroit and Los Angeles received

one star as of June 30, down from two stars on Dec. 31, 2015.

At the same time, the VA medical center in Fayetteville, Ark., jumped from three stars to five, and the VA in Orlando went from two stars to four.

Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., who wrote to the VA demanding the release of five years’ worth of ratings after USA TODAY’s story, said, “It shouldn’t take news reports and public pressure for the VA to make these ratings available to the public.

“These are important tools for veterans and the community to see quality of care at the hospitals they depend on, and I hope this

transparency continues,” she said.

Until USA TODAY’s story, Dingell did not know the Detroit VA — named after her husband, former congressman John Dingell — was among the worst-rated.

The VA did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Tuesday. VA officials have said the star ratings were an internal improvement tool and not intended for the public because they worried hospitals with one star would be unfairly tarnished.

The VA says that overall, 120 of the 146 medical centers showed improvement since 2015.

Trans girl graces ‘National Geographic’ Susan Miller l @susmiller l USA TODAY

In 1985, an Afghan girl with piercing green eyes stared into the world’s soul from the cover of National Geographic in an iconic and mesmerizing photo.

Thirty-one years later, another young girl peers out from the magazine’s glossy front in an equally compelling portrait. A girl with tangles of pink-streaked hair, comfy pink leggings and a resolute gaze — a girl who until 2012 lived as a boy.

Meet Avery Jackson, 9, the first transgender individual to grace the cover of the 128-year-old magazine, which is rolling out to subscribers this week in a special edition devoted solely to gender issues around the globe.

Avery never intended to be a trailblazer for gender identity, a topic that is front and center in a rapid-fire evolution of how people define themselves.

Growing up, “I really just wanted to be myself,” Avery told USA TODAY. “I’m just a girl.”

But the Kansas City fourthgrader knows the significance of the magazine’s cover. “By putting myself more out there, people will be able to know that I am transgender and proud and learn more about transgender issues.”

From the Supreme Court to statehouses, fashion pages to Facebook, the question of “who we are” is complicated and fluid, and never more relevant.

That is why National Geographic decided to devote its January issue to the “gender revolution,” said Susan Goldberg, the magazine’s editor in chief. “It seems that the discussion about gender is really at the center of our national conversation. It is playing out in our education system, legal system, the military.

Everywhere you look there is this conversation.”

An accompanying broadcast documentary, Gender Revolution, A Journey With Katie Couric, will

air Feb. 6 on National Geographic Channel.

What started out as a story about girl empowerment a year ago soon took flight in a deeper direction. “Editors said it’s really complicated to be a boy, too,” Goldberg said.

The magazine decided to examine all facets of gender through culture, society and science and “humanize” the stories of everyday people, she said.

The choice of a petite pioneer for the cover seemed natural, Goldberg added. “We thought Avery was so strong, so proud ... and confident about her decisions that she was a good person to symbolize the new discussions about gender. She seems to sum up the complexity of the issue.”

AVERY’S STORY

Avery’s mother, Debi Jackson, 42, said her child went from being a “happy, outgoing 2-year-old boy to becoming sullen and depressed” between the ages of 3 and 4. Avery became angry and withdrawn and hated going to preschool, Jackson said. “She started talking about death a lot.”

When Avery dressed up in a princess dress, the darkness lifted, said Jackson, who also has a son Anson, 11, with husband Tom, 41. The couple thought she was a gay boy and “it would be OK.” One day when they were walking through Target on a holiday shopping trip, Jackson said Avery

At 13, she was blissfully playing outside when she felt abdominal pains.

A trip to the doctor didn’t reveal anything wrong.

Except that she had testes, not ovaries.

Her parents and doctors decided to keep Davis in the dark and concoct a cover story: “They told me I had early onset cancer of ovaries and would need surgery before I turned 18,” she said. The “cancer” surgery at 17 — which forced Davis into early menopause as a teen — in fact removed her testes.

It wasn’t until Davis was stepping into adulthood in her 20s and looking for a new physician that reality came crashing down in the form of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC her medical records.

President Obama waves after a news conference Dec. 16.

Poll: History will be kind to Obama v CONTINUED FROM 1B

About a third of those surveyed say Obama ultimately will be seen as a “good” president; 18% say he’ll be a “great” one. One in four say history will rate him as only “fair,” and another one in four say he’ll be seen as a “failed” president.

The split by party is predictably stark: 86% of Democrats say Obama will be judged to have been a good or great president; 83% of Republicans say he will be seen as a fair or failed one.

“There was a lot of hope but a lot of under-delivery with him,” says David Ockrim, 30, who operates a Yankee Doodle Dandy food truck in New York City.

“A total failure,” scoffs Stephen Spence, 69, of Mesa, Ariz. “On the economy, on immigration, on helping people from other countries that are fighting ISIS.” “I think history would judge him well, but it’s probably going to take a while,” says Queen Jones, 73, a retired teacher’s assistant from Mount Pleasant, N.C. “I think he’ll be judged well because of what he inherited when he came in and where the economy is right now.”

Obama is leaving office with healthy ratings. By 55%-40%, Americans have a favorable opinion of him. That’s much better than Trump’s ratings — 41% favorable, 46% unfavorable — although the president-elect’s standing has been improving.

Just before Election Day, in late October, Trump was at 31% favorable, 61% unfavorable in the poll.

streets of the nation’s largest city.

The Chicago Police Department stepped up foot and bike patrols around the city’s downtown Daley Plaza.

In Boston, Mayor Martin Walsh said the city deployed police and put barriers in place around the “Boston Holiday” market. Walsh said police are monitoring social media to keep an eye out for potential attacks.

“Our police are always on high alert,” Walsh said. “Part of what we want to try to do with technology — that we’re being criticized for — is being able to look on Twitter and look on Facebook just to make sure something like this that might be planned, that we can break it up.”

Investigators in Berlin said the truck, which carried steel beams, was stolen in Poland. It has Polish license plates, and a man found dead in the passenger seat was a Polish national.

The dead passenger may have been the truck’s original driver, and the truck’s owner said he feared the vehicle could have been hijacked.

The Polish victim was identified as Lukasz Urban, 37.

“I believe he would not give up the vehicle and would defend it to the end if he were attacked,” Lukasz Wasik, the manager of the trucking company where Urban worked, told Poland’s state broadcaster TVP. In the incident at Ohio State last month, a young Somali refugee rammed his car into a group of people on campus, then got out of his vehicle and attacked victims with a knife.

The attacker, who had posted a rant on a Facebook page about the treatment of Muslims around the world shortly before the incident, was fatally shot by a police officer but injured 11 people in the attack.

In the Nice attack, a truck driver ran over dozens of people, killing 86, on the city’s promenade during Bastille Day celebrations.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for both the Nice and Columbus attacks.

Last week, German media reported that a 12-year-old boy tried to set off a nail bomb at a Christmas market in the southern German city of Ludwigshafen. That bomb failed to work, so the boy allegedly left explosives in a backpack near a building

housing a shopping center and government office. Those explosives also failed.

Nobody was injured in either incident. Focus magazine reported the boy was born in Germany to Iraqi parents and was “religiously radicalized.” It said the boy was being held by German social workers while an investigation takes place.

The State Department warned

“What we want to try to do with technology — that we’re being criticized for — is being able to look on Twitter and look on Facebook just to make sure something like this that might be planned, that we can break it up.”

Boston Mayor Martin Walsh

last month of a “heightened risk” of terrorist attacks in Europe, especially during the holiday season. It said it had “credible information” that the Islamic State and its affiliates planned assaults focusing on the holidays.

German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière said the suspect in custody was from Pakistan and had applied for asylum

in Germany. Tuesday, prosecutors said there was no proof tying the man to the attack, and he was released.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said it would be particularly troubling if the attacker was an asylum seeker.

“This would be especially despicable toward the many Germans who are daily engaged in helping refugees, and toward the many people who truly need this protection,” she said.

Miller, the NYPD deputy commissioner, said in an interview on MSNBC Tuesday that law enforcement officials are increasingly seeing a “shorter flash to bang” for terror suspects, referring to the period from when suspects radicalize to when they attempt to carry out an attack.

European law enforcement agencies said they were on high alert after the Berlin incident.

In London, the police department announced it was changing its road closures in the area surrounding Buckingham Palace during the Changing of the Guard military ceremony, an event that draws large crowds of tourists.

New barriers were to be installed near the palace by Wednesday.

France increased security at its Christmas markets after the attack.

In Italy, Sen. Giacomo Stucchi, the head of Parliament’s intelligence commission, told Sky TG24 TV Tuesday that he expects an increase in the number of people Italian authorities deem necessary to be closely watched as possible extremists.

A: Stocks have two prices: The bid and ask. The difference goes to specialized traders who facilitate trading and is a cost to you.

But luckily, the difference is usually tiny.

When you buy a stock, you pay the ask. When you sell, you get the bid.

It’s similar to other auction markets. Car dealers have one price they’ll buy your car for, but another very different price at which they will sell that car to

someone else. Typically, the ask is higher than the bid price.

The difference between the bid and the ask is a cost to you as an investor, but not one to get too concerned with when talking about most actively traded securities.

General Electric this week, for instance, was trading at a bid of $32.32 a share and ask of $32.33, or just a penny different. Actively traded exchange-traded funds are similar, such as the SPDR S&P 500 fund where the ask per share is just a penny more than the bid.

The spread can get much larger with less-traded securities, but most of those aren’t appropriate for most investors anyway. If you see a big spread between the bid and the ask, you might want to see if there’s a more actively traded version first.

Study: Largest U.S. banks still charge high overdraft fees Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

Most major U.S. banks continue to charge high fees when customers overdraft their accounts, according to a new report issued Tuesday.

More than two out of five banks also rearrange their processing of account holders’ transactions with a procedure that maximizes overdraft fees, said the report by The Pew Charitable Trusts, an independent, nonprofit organization.

A separate review of overdraft programs at a selection of smaller U.S. banks found many practices are largely comparable to those of larger banks, the report also concluded.

Some of the findings echo previous studies of the issue, including a 2008 analysis by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau study in 2013.

The new results show a need for banks to institute new policies that prevent their widely-offered “courtesy” overdraft programs “from being costly and unsustainable forms of short-term credit

2009 PHOTO BY LISA POOLE, AP

for many financially vulnerable consumers, said Nick Bourke, director of Pew’s consumer finance project.

“Regulators should set reasonable limits on overdraft fees and

help banks create new smallcredit options for those who want them,” added Bourke.

The Pew findings stem from a review of disclosures from the 50 largest banks by domestic deposit volume and revenue data they reported to the Federal Deposition Insurance Corp. Key findings include: uThe banks’ collective revenue from service charges on banks’ deposit accounts, including overdraft and insufficient fund fees, has more than doubled during the past three decades. Interest income paid to account holders, meanwhile, has declined.

uMost of the largest banks continue to charge at least $35 for each overdraft. uMore than 40% of the biggest banks process transactions from largest to smaller by dollar value. That can reduce the account balance more quickly and generate more overdrafts than other protocols.

Pew’s review of financial disclosures from 45 smaller banks, those with up to $1 billion in deposits and generally no more than 30 branches, found similar results. The median fee charged by those banks is $32, the report said.

Annie Lane

dearannie@creators.com

Ex-spouses should not hang around Dear Annie: I have a brainteaser for you. My husband and I have been married for nearly 11 years. He was divorced from his first wife about 15 years ago; they had no children. His family has welcomed me with open arms.

However, his ex-wife continues to stay in touch with family members. They even visit her and host her at their homes.

Never has she been invited to family gatherings, and no one talks about her in front of me, but I still find out about it.

My husband has made clear to these family members that this is awkward and not healthy for the ex-wife, but they persist.

I have two concerns. One, it feels as if someone is lurking in the shadows, and two, it seems odd that she has not moved on after so many years. What’s your take on this situation?

— Scratching My Head in NH Dear Scratching: It’s bizarre that she’s still hovering around, 15 years later. By now, she ought to have buzzed off and found her own hive. When you say goodbye to a partner, you say goodbye to his family, too. (If there were children involved, it would be different.)

But clearly, some of your inlaws are encouraging her. So that raises the question: Who? Is it just one person? A sister who always got along well with this woman and connected with her as a friend? If that’s the case, try to let the friendship remain away from you.

If several of your in-laws are doing this, it’s time for your husband to step up. He needs to make abundantly clear that their maintaining such a close relationship with his ex-wife is not just awkward but also hurtful.

Dear Annie: I want to address “Sleepless in Anywhere, USA,” “Sick and Hurt” and others who are hurt by spousal affairs.

There are various reasons committed and loving spouses have affairs. I was married to a loyal husband, but our marriage was scarred with emotional abuse that went unaddressed despite my continued pleas for dealing with it. Instead of being cherished, I was made to feel worthless.

From what I could determine, he suffers from emotional injuries inflicted during his childhood. He built an emotional barrier around himself.

He refused to go to counseling; I went on my own, with mixed results.

I didn’t want to get divorced, so I tried other means to get through the situation. In the end, I had an affair. We are near the end of divorce proceedings. I am saddened by the whole story, and much of what is important to me has to be left behind.

So, for those loyal partners who find their spouse in an affair, please step outside yourself and look at the whole picture. How could better communication and self-honesty improve your relationship? Are there past harms — which have nothing to do with a current relationship — hurting the present? If you have chosen to share your life with another, then really share life — the good and bad. A loving spouse wants to help carry the burden, heal and move past these destructive ills. I did — though here in the end, I’m the “evil gal who had an affair,” while the other side of the story remains a secret.

— Made to Move On — Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

A baby born today has a Sun in Sagittarius if born before 4:46 a.m. Afterward, the Sun will be in Capricorn. The Moon is in Libra all day.

For Wednesday, Dec. 21: This year has an unusual tone to it. You will be noticed wherever you go. If you’re working, you could be up for a promotion and/or pay raise. You’ll become even more aware of your image and what you have to offer. Your popularity soars! If you are single, you almost have to claw people off you. From fall 2017 on, you could meet someone of great significance. If you are attached, the two of you need to work on having more private time together. Your bond will flourish as a result. Libra often pressures you for more of your time.

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) You might sense a distinct shift in energy. Remain responsive to others, at least until you decide which way the wind is blowing. Once you do, you can let your guard down. Understand that a respected friend or family member needs your attention. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Reach out to a friend or loved one at a distance.

This person might be heading your way in the near future, or vice versa. If you have not yet made plans to visit, seize the moment ASAP and discuss getting together. Tonight: Put on some holiday music, or go caroling.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You’ll have an easy time buzzing around. You will want to drop in on one person in the morning, and then join someone else later in the day. However, when it comes to having a serious talk, you might want to run away.

Just get it over with. Tonight: All smiles.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You have entered a period in which the planets seem to give you feedback as to how well you are living your life. Note if there is any chaos in the next several weeks, especially around your half-birthday. If so, you might want to make an adjustment.

Tonight: Out late.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Run some errands, and start clearing out other matters on your mind. Reach out to a key friend or relative. Catching up on news and plans will be more important than you initially realize.

Clear out as much work as you can. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

jacquelinebigar.com

Your imagination often gets triggered by the holidays.

Today is no different. Share some of your merriment with others, especially those who aren’t as content as you are. Try to help them see the better side of this holiday. Tonight: Act like you are a kid again.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Others can’t help but respond to your enthusiasm. You might not realize how important you are to those around you.

Express your caring in ways other than just giving gifts. You easily could make a difference to several people who might feel alone. Tonight: As you like it.

Scorpio: (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Don’t let a grudge get in the way of sending your holiday salutations. The other party will appreciate your efforts, though you might not see a sign of an apology for a while. Attempt to complete everything on your to-do list. Tonight: Respond to someone else’s inquiry.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are very aware of the costs of this particular holiday, especially as you wanted to add some friends and family to your gift list. Those around you share a sense of cheer and renewal. Appreciate each person for what he or she has to offer. Tonight: With your friends, if possible.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The winter solstice is upon you, and you’ll feel more energized than you have in a while.

Though you might wish that you could play the day away, you must handle certain responsibilities first. You could have a surprise heading your way. Tonight: Take the lead.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be overwhelmed by everything that you have to do. This feeling is not unfamiliar at this time of year.

Detach from this sense of obligation, and take a hard look at what needs to be done ASAP. Then follow through. Tonight: Spend some quiet time with a loved one.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You have so much going on that you could find it difficult to stop and visit with a friend or a family member whom you don’t often see. Remember that the holidays are about spending time with those you care about, not running errands. Tonight: Enjoy some time with a loved one.

Kansas names new QB coach

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Josh Jackson’s consistency a huge factor for Kansas

O

ne game is all that stands between Kansas freshman Josh Jackson and a return to some of his favorite haunts in the world.

Shortly after the Jayhawks (10-1) close out the nonconference portion of their schedule Thursday at UNLV in Las Vegas — 8 p.m. tip-off on CBS Sports Network — Jackson will fly from Vegas to his hometown of Detroit and will arrive with his three-day itinerary already planned out.

A good chunk of it will involve spending time with family members, eating his grandmother’s cooking and trying to thwart off requests from his mother to entertain the family on the saxophone.

But when he steps out, three Detroit restaurants will be mandatory stops — Captain Jays, Coney Island and Capers, a steakhouse in downtown Detroit.

Jackson said he already had his order prepared at each place and that he and his teammates were looking forward to the short-but-sweet upcoming holiday break.

“Oh, definitely,” Jackson said. “That’ll be good for a lot of the guys on the team, especially myself. Guys are getting a little weary, but I think we need to just keep going at it, because it’s not gonna get any easier from here on out.”

Jackson’s daydreams about his favorite dishes are just that. Because when he’s awake and aware, the one-anddone freshman who is averaging 15.1 points per game remains sharply focused on KU’s next game and what he needs to do to make sure it goes the way

Linebacker Kyron Johnson getting head start with KU Texas teen will start in spring semester

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

When eight new Kansas football players arrive in Lawrence ahead of the spring semester, only one could potentially stick around and contribute for four seasons.

Quarterback Peyton Bender, defensive tackle J.J. Holmes, receiver Kerr Johnson Jr., defensive linemen Willie McCaleb and KeyShaun Simmons, and cornerback Shakial Taylor all will debut for the Jayhawks in 2017 as juniors, after transferring in from their respective junior colleges.

Corner Hasan Defense, who only spent one year playing

for Kilgore College, will be a sophomore.

But head coach David Beaty and his defensive assistants were thrilled to land a high school senior on midyear signing day this past week, too. Kyron Johnson, a linebacker from Arlington, Texas, who graduated early, will dive into offseason conditioning and spring football at KU while most of his prep peers continue to work toward graduating from high school.

Beaty described Johnson’s speed as “blazing,” before sharing the Lamar High talent ran his 40-yard dash somewhere between a “low 4.4” seconds and a “high 4.3” at KU’s Friday Night Lights camp in June, when the linebacker first verbally committed.

The Kansas staff felt even better about Johnson, a

three-star prospect according to Rivals, when Beaty witnessed him practicing at inside linebacker. The offense had called a bubble screen to the right side and the future Jayhawk immediately caught the attention of the college coaches watching on the sideline.

“He runs past about four defenders and just blows this poor kid up,” Beaty recalled. “You know, you see that play and you’re like, ‘You know, man, that was pretty good.’ And you watch him the rest of the day and he is all over the field and he can fly.”

Although Johnson is listed at 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds, Beaty said he is closer to 6-2 and 205 already and will continue adding more muscle to his frame once he gets to KU. The coach envisions him eventually playing clos-

er to 230 pounds, with speed in the open field and long arms to aid his tackling.

“So length and speed is what this league has turned into,” Beaty said, “and you need guys that can do that.

He can not only be a great player inside, because he’s very strong for a guy his size, but he can cover folks, because he can run. He can move light side-to-side.”

KU’s head coach said Johnson should at least be able to contribute on special teams immediately. He’ll join a group of returning linebackers that includes Joe Dineen, Keith Loneker Jr., Osaze Ogbebor and Denzel Feaster.

“We’re going to need him,” Beaty said. “We don’t have many guys that can run that fast on this team, period

‘‘

We’re going to need him. We don’t have many guys that can run that fast on this team, period — particularly at that linebacker spot. Not many people do. That dude can run. ...

We’re going to like this guy. He’s a very mature young man.”

> JOHNSON, 4C — David Beaty

Entering his third off-season as the Kansas football coach, David Beaty restructured his staff this week, with former offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Rob Likens taking a job at Arizona State.

As a result, Beaty announced Tuesday the promotion of Garrett Riley, who spent the past year contributing mostly behind the scenes as an offensive analyst, to an on-field position in which he will work with KU’s quarterbacks.

In title, Kansas listed Likens as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach prior to his departure to coach wide receivers at Arizona State.

In reality, Beaty took over both those duties during spring football, following the Riley Jayhawks’ 0-12 2015 season. Beaty labeled Likens as a “walk-around guy” who would help the rest of the staff in a variety of functions.

“We appreciate Rob’s many contributions as part of the Jayhawk family,” Beaty stated in a release.

“We wish him every success as he moves forward to this new chapter of his career.”

Likens’ decision to take on a more definitive role at ASU, where he will also serve as passing game coordinator on Todd Graham’s staff, opened an on-field role at Kansas.

After working a lot with Riley over the past several months, Beaty decided to expand his duties and make him one of the staff’s nine full-time assistants.

“Garrett has been a tremendous asset to our program since the day he set foot on campus,” Beaty said of Riley, who joined the staff in early 2016.

“Having played under Mike Leach at Texas Tech and worked closely with his brother, Lincoln Riley (now offensive coordinator at Oklahoma), during his time at East Carolina, Garrett has had his hand in some high-powered offenses. His extensive knowledge of the Air Raid offense has been invaluable as we implemented it to our team, and I am looking forward to him having an even greater impact in his new role.”

This past season at KU, various players mentioned, unprompted, Riley’s knowledge and ability during media sessions.

Before joining the Kansas staff, Riley coached outside receivers at East Carolina, where he worked with Zay Jones, who recently became the all-time NCAA FBS career receptions leader with 399 catches.

Riley spent three seasons at ECU, where he worked two years with his brother Lincoln, who went on to become the offensive coordinator at OU. While working with ECU’s quarterbacks, Riley had a chance to play a part in the development of

Honor, integrity?

Not in college football

TWO-DAY SPORTS CALENDAR

Bowl business may be in for a jolt

By Steve Megargee AP Sports Writer

possibility Fournette’s ankle might prevent him from playing.

“I hope it’s not a trend,” Sun Bowl executive director Bernie Olivas said. “As far as Christian, I’m not speaking for him, but I know where he’s coming from, especially based on the fact he’d been injured this year already and didn’t want to risk reinjuring.”

Last season, Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith tore two knee ligaments in a Fiesta Bowl loss to Ohio State, and has not played since.

Smith was projected as a potential top-five pick before his injury, and instead went to the Dallas Cowboys in the second round with the 34th overall pick in the draft. The difference in guaranteed contract money is about $19 million.

Wright Waters, the executive director of the Football Bowl Association, said he understands if an injury prevents a star player from performing in a bowl game.

“If we have someone who is just pulling out of the game ... and they’re just saying, ‘I might get hurt,’ and they don’t have any problem, yeah, I’ve got a problem with that,” Waters said. “And I think that’s in some cases kind of narrow-sighted, because they might have the opportunity to enhance their (stock).”

North Carolina junior defensive tackle Naz Jones will forgo his senior season to enter the draft and will play in the Sun Bowl.

“I still have things that I can put on film,” Jones said. “Yeah, I’m not in that category to sit out a game like that.”

Pittsburgh junior running back James Conner redshirted the 2015 season as he recovered from a knee injury and battled cancer. Conner said he

never considered missing the 22nd-ranked Panthers’ Dec. 28 Pinstripe Bowl matchup with Northwestern.

“I just feel like I’m going to take advantage of it really, showing the scouts I’m back to my normal self and that I can compete at a high level after everything I’ve been through,” Conner said.

McCaffrey’s Stanford teammates Trenton Irwin and Solomon Thomas sent out tweets supporting him Monday. Dallas Cowboys rookie running back and former Ohio State star Ezekiel Elliott tweeted: “I would do anything to play one more time with my brothers in that scarlet and gray.”

Elliott bypassed his senior season to enter the draft. He added in separate tweets: “there is a difference between not coming back for your last year and not finishing your last season.”

Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said he understands getting upset about a player bailing out on his team, but there is more to it.

“You’ve got to let go of the moment and look at the big picture, which I think is really, really big in moments like this,” Bielema said. “These kids now have not only the next six months that could shape their future, but when you’re paying the money that some of these people are getting, you’re talking about the next 40 years of their life, their children’s lives and everybody can be affected by this.”

The stakes are higher than ever for players looking at professional careers.

“It’s as simple as this,” Weiss said. “It’s risk vs. reward.”

The decisions by LSU’s Leonard Fournette and Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey to bypass postseason games as they prepare for the NFL could be a jolt to the bowl business.

“Is it a sign of things to come?” asked Arthur Weiss, an agent based in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. “I would think that it’s too early to say for sure, but when you factor in the type of financial considerations that

Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill selected to Pro Bowl

By Simmi Buttar AP Sports Writer

New York (ap) — The Oakland Raiders lead the NFL with seven players selected for the Pro Bowl.

Quarterback Derek Carr, wide receiver Amari Cooper, center Rodney Hudson, defensive end Khalil Mack, safety Reggie Nelson, guard Kelechi Osemele and tackle Donald Penn were picked from the Raiders, who are in first place in the AFC West going into Week 16.

Twenty-six of the 32 teams had at least one player picked. Twenty players were chosen for the first time, including three rookies: Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott from Dallas, and Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill.

And Josh has probably deferred a little bit, but not a lot.”

Jackson may have deferred at times when it came to taking shots, where he ranks second to Mason (134-124) and is just 18 attempts ahead of Graham. But he rarely has taken his foot off the gas in other areas.

“I think my job for the team is pretty easy,” he said. “Just being able to know what I have to do in order for my team to be successful, game in and game out, just rebounding, playing defense, bringing energy ... I feel like if I always do those things, I’ll be fine.”

Despite missing the first four games of the season because of his “Deflategate” suspension, New England quarterback Tom Brady was picked for the 12th time in his career. Cleveland tackle Joe Thomas and Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald were selected for the 10th time.

Among the notable omissions was Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford. The first-place Lions, who lead the NFC North at 9-5, did not have a single representative.

Familiar date Although the Jayhawks have traveled to Honolulu, New York City and Kansas City three separate times, Thursday’s game at UNLV’s Thomas and Mack Center will be the first true road game for the Jayhawks this season.

It marks the exact same date (Dec. 22) that Kansas has played its first true road game of the season during five of the last six seasons and is 12 days later than the Jayhawks’ first road game of the 2013-14 season, a 67-61 loss at Florida.

Don’t make me laugh.

That’s because I want to save my laughter for Tommy Elrod and some of the things I’ve read in the fallout of WakeyLeaks.

David Clawson did not retain Elrod on his coaching staff when he took over Elrod in 2006 at Wake Forest.

Elrod, who also played at Wake, remained as a radio analyst. He was given all sorts of access, the kind of access mainstream media isn’t given. How did Elrod use it? To sabotage Clawson.

Was Elrod looking to curry favor for another assistant job? Was he looking for some kind of financial consideration?

Or was it just plain bitterness against Clawson?

We do not know, not yet anyway.

The guy leaked information, designed plays, at least to Louisville, Virginia Tech and Army over three years and nobody called Wake

Forest to report him.

Hey, nobody had to turn him directly over to the NCAA. Nobody had to call a press conference and scream about it.

Yes, some coaches are cozier than others and may share observations on how to beat a shared opponent. Yes, coaches are always looking for every edge and fat-cat donors encourage them to do so.

But giving out battle plans before the battle? C’mon.

It’s laughable.

All anybody had to do was reject offers of shared information and call Wake Forest about it directly.

That’s it. Show some level of honesty. And then throw it back on Wake Forest to handle it properly. One doesn’t need an ethicist or the Vatican to figure it out.

If this happened in the financial world and Elrod did this — it’s essentially insider trading —he’d be looking at jail time. There are plenty of places in the real world where Elrod would have been charged with a crime. College football is not the real world. Elrod got fired. The ACC fined Wake Forest, Louisville

Mixon, who’ll probably head to the NFL draft in April, has publicly apologized for his actions. Molitor has a pending civil lawsuit against him.

This is far from a new story in Oklahoma. The video had been shown in 2014 to a group of people, including the media, by the Norman police. The brutality was reported on and described in detail.

As a writer, you hope to capture in words all the impact, all the nuance. Yet there is something in the human mind, in human morality that changes when we see video. No honest writer can deny it.

What the video shows is horrifying. Mixon brutally drilled Molitor, fracturing four bones in her face. Dropped her like a rag doll, left her there in a pool of blood, broken, and walked out of the shop. Today, you can see the same video that coach Bob Stoops, athletic director Joe Castiglione and president David Boren

saw two years ago and ask yourself, good God, how could they ever let Mixon back on the team?

The nearly 1,200 yards he has run for this season probably is the best answer. Stoops has talked about Mixon earning redemption and a second chance. At this point, going hard after Mixon smacks of double jeopardy and the intense microscope should fall more on Stoops and the school. There have been at least three other alleged sexual, assault or domestic cases surrounding the team, including one involving Heisman Trophy finalist Dede Westbrook. Even if you choose to take the side of the accused in every case, the brutal video of Mixon does not lie.

And here’s the really sick part. Even if Oklahoma had kicked Mixon off the team, some other coach, some other school would have welcomed Mixon. Redemption. A second-chance. We know the story. Some coach’s integrity and honor would have gotten this young man back on the righteous road to glory at State U.

After the Raiders and Falcons, the Cowboys, Steelers and Titans were next with five players selected each.

In addition to Prescott and Elliott, offensive linemen Travis Frederick, Zack Martin and Tyron Smith were picked from Dallas.

For the Steelers, running back Le’Veon Bell, wide receiver Antonio Brown, guard David DeCastro, center Maurkice Pouncey and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger were selected. Roethlisberger, Pouncey and Brown were all chosen for the fifth time.

For the surprising Titans, tied with Houston for first place in the AFC South, it’s their most players picked for the Pro Bowl since they had six in 2008.

Running back DeMarco Murray leads the group.

He has 1,224 yards rushing, second in the NFL behind Elliott. Left tackle Taylor Lewan earned his first Pro Bowl honor in his third season, while linebacker Brian Orakpo earned his fourth Pro Bowl trip overall and first since signing with Tennessee in March 2015. Tight end Delanie Walker and defensive lineman Jurrell Casey were both elected to start for the first time in their second career appearance.

The Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, Jan. 29, in Orlando, Florida.

The game will return to the NFC vs. AFC format after three years. Former stars Jerome Bettis, Tony Gonzalez, Ray Lewis and Charles Woodson will serve as “Legends Captains.”

KANSAS-UC RIVERSIDE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Who: Kansas vs. UC Riverside When: 7 p.m. today Where: Allen Fieldhouse Series: Kansas leads 2-0

Shooting Through its first eight games, Kansas only shot better than 40 percent from the field once, and less than 35 percent four times. Coach Brandon Schneider lamented the Jayhawks’ ball movement and patience on offense early in the season, but both of those have been a big factor for their improved shooting as of late. In their last two games, the Jayhawks have shot 41 and 47 percent from the field. They’ve won all three games in which they shot better than 40 percent from the field this season.

Schneider inserted Washington back into the starting lineup against Rhode Island, and she responded with her two best games of the season. Over the last two games, Washington is averaging 16.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists on 48 percent shooting. After a somewhat disappointing start to the season given the expectations surrounding Washington, she’s starting to assert herself as the Jayhawks’ top player.

Slumping Junior Chayla Cheadle has still put up decent numbers as of late, but her efficiency has taken a major hit. She’s averaging 6.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.3 turnovers per game on 28 percent shooting over the last three games.

and Virginia Tech the max of $25,000. That will show them, 25 grand ought to stop them dead in their tracks.

Elrod shared the information with Louisville offensive coordinator Lonnie Galloway, who was once on the same staff at Wake Forest. There were some special plays given.

Last week, Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich badly underplayed the situation. He said Wake used none of the special plays and that anything else was stuff Louisville had already seen and was prepared for. Clawson, however, went on ESPN radio and said Wake had to change its game plan because they had found a sheet of its plays at Papa John Stadium during a walk-through before its game against the Cardinals. He said his players were angry about not using any of the things they had worked on.

This left Jurich doubling back, suspending Galloway for its bowl game and saying the information should have been rejected and Wake Forest notified. This also left Louisville basketball

coach Rick Pitino of all people stepping up in Jurich’s defense and calling him a man of great honor and integrity.

These are football coaches. These are football players. These are athletic directors. Let’s stop pretending they are more. Or less. It starts with the sports media — the cult of hyperbole.

Finally, there’s what happened with the Minnesota football players agreeing Saturday to lift their boycott and play in the Holiday Bowl. It’s a fairly complex story, one involving the suspension of 10 players accused of sexual assault. No arrests or charges were made, yet the school has said it holds its students to a higher code of conduct than those applied by the law.

After what happened at Baylor, universities rightly are under pressure to address predatory sexual behavior by athletes. There also are fears of a rush to judgment.

But believe this much.

When it is over, the honor and integrity of college football will be restored. It always is — unless there’s a video.

Wichita linebacker commits to Kansas SCOREBOARD

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

The two-word David Beaty hashtag that Kansas football fans long to see struck again Tuesday night.

The KU head coach, as Beaty has been known to do, tweeted out the simple phrase “#NeatDeal” — signaling the Jayhawks landing a new commitment.

The latest addition to the program turned out to be an in-state prospect, linebacker Cooper Root, from Wichita Collegiate.

Listed at 6-foot3 and 215 pounds, the high school senior also hopped on Twitter for the occasion, sharing: “Excited to have received and accepted an offer to the University of Kansas!

Thanks to everyone for the support!”

Root spoke with John Kirby of Jayhawk Slant about his decision.

“It feels really good and it relieves a lot of stress and anxiety,” Root said. “I’m just really excited to be a Jayhawk and that Coach Beaty has given me the opportunity to play the game that I love.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL ROUNDUP The Associated Press

Boca Raton Bowl Western Kentucky 51, Memphis 31.

Boca Raton, Fla. (ap) — Senior Anthony Wales gained 329 yards from scrimmage and Western Kentucky earned a bowl

victory for the third year in a row by beating Memphis 51-31 Tuesday night in the Boca Raton Bowl.

Wales ran for a careerhigh 245 yards on 35 carries, added 84 yards on four catches and scored three times.

Teammate Mike White threw for 336 yards and three touchdowns. Tay-

wan Taylor had nine catches for 144 yards and his 17th touchdown of the season.

Oddsmakers had projected the game to be the highest-scoring of the bowl season, and even Western Kentucky left tackle Forrest Lamp got into the act, scoring on a 9-yard razzledazzle run. The Hilltoppers

(11-3) totaled 598 yards for interim head coach Nick Holt, who was filling in after coach Jeff Brohm left this month to become coach at Purdue.

Notre Dame offensive coordinator Mike Sanford was chosen over Holt as Brohm’s replacement next season, and attended the game.

Charcuterie boards

By Elizabeth Karmel Associated Press

W

ho says you can only enjoy a charcuterie board when you go out to eat? Restaurants have made them a diner’s favorite and many restaurants become destinations based on their ability to source great meats and cheeses.

With a little planning, you can do this same thing any night of the week.

In fact, you don’t even need to go to a fancy store to get the provisions. Most grocery stores have everything you need.

Once you find your favorite dried sausage, keep it on hand. It lasts for a very long time in the fridge and is handy to pull out when people stop over unexpectedly for a drink. My favorite sausages are reasonably priced, vacuum-sealed, have a good lean to fat ratio, and are very clean tasting. These days it’s easy to find very good dried sausages.

When shopping for a party, plan on 3 ounces of charcuterie per person for an appetizer and about twice that if

it’s the only food being served. With bread and olives, pickles and nuts, that should be enough to satiate all of your meat-loving friends and family.

Your charcuterie board can be as simple as one dried sausage, olives, nuts and a special mustard dipping sauce, or you can make it a little more expansive by adding a pate, thin-sliced prosciutto, chunks of real parmesan or pecorino, and another mustard for dipping and spreading. Bread and butter, homemade seeded crackers, fresh ricotta cheese, good olive oil and cocktail rye are also good choices.

I like to dress up my favorite mustards with jam, herbs and spices. It’s easy to make but adds that special touch that will make your charcuterie board even more craveable than the one at your favorite restaurant. Add your favorite flavors to the mustard and just pick a jam and an herb that you like together.

Next, think about presentation.

That’s one of the reasons that I think charcuterie boards are so appealing in restaurants. They are generally laid out on wooden or other flat surfaces.

I love using black porcelain as I can

Crave is a community newspaper section distributed every Wednesday to more than 40,000 households in Lawrence and sur-

About Crave

write with chalk on it and pop it in the dishwasher when I am done.

Finally, remember to slice the meat when it is cold and serve it at room temperature for maximum flavor. Most importantly, have fun with your combinations. A charcuterie board is easy, elegant and a guaranteed crowd pleaser.

Sweet and Sharp Mustard Party On one “easy” evening, I made a couple of quick sauces to serve with grilled and dry sausages and cheese. The winner of the night was the original Apricot Sweet and Sharp Mustard. It’s as simple as mixing mustards and jam together and the variations are endless.

crumbs 1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese 1 1/2 cups speedy marinara (recipe below) or store-bought marinara, heated Directions: Heat the oven to 400 F. In a small bowl, combine the oil and the garlic. Set aside.

Pull off any leaves from the stem end of the cauliflower and trim off just enough of the stem so the cauliflower stands flat on the counter. Slice the cauliflower head in half down the center top to bottom. One at a time, set each half onto its cut side.

Starting from one end of each half, slice crosswise to create 1/2-inch-thick slices. This will yield 3 to 4 cutlets from the center of each half, with the small ends being chunks. The chunks can be prepared as the cutlets, or reserved for another use.

In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, 3 tablespoons of water and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt.

On a sheet of kitchen parchment, combine the cornstarch with the

remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, stirring the mixture with a fork to combine. On a second sheet of parchment, combine the panko with the cheese, stirring with a fork.

One at a time, coat the cauliflower cutlets (and trimmings, if using) on both sides with the cornstarch, knocking off the excess. Next, dip each in the egg mixture, coating them on both sides and letting the excess drip off.

Finally, coat them with the panko mixture, patting the crumbs on well.

Set aside.

Strain the garlic oil through a mesh strainer, pressing hard on the garlic to get out all the oil. Discard the garlic (or reserve for another use).

On a rimmed baking sheet, spread half of the oil in an even coating. Set the baking sheet on the oven’s top shelf and heat for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and quickly arrange the prepared cauliflower on it in a single layer. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven, drizzle the tops of the cauliflower evenly with the remaining oil,

turn them over, then bake for another 15 minutes.

Divide the cauliflower among 4 serving plates, then serve topped with marinara.

A Nutrient To Know About Cranberry

Nature's Way™

Cranberries contain many phytonutrients that have been shown to have a particular affinity for protecting the cardiovascular system, such as proanthocyanidins, the oftentouted compounds in red wine. The phytonutrients in cranberries appear to help protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation, help keep the blood flowing smoothly, modulate blood pressure and help to modulate inflammation.* MaraNatha®
