Library gets $230K estate gift

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Lawrence Public Library announced Monday it accepted a gift of nearly $230,000 — the single largest contribution it has received — from the estate of Ann L. Hyde, a Kansas University librarian who died in June 2014.

Hyde’s gift will go into the Lawrence Public Library Foundation’s unrestricted endowment, part of which will be distributed

from the Douglas County Community Foundation to the library each year once the fund reaches $750,000.

The yearly funds can be used for whatever the library needs, said Kathleen Morgan, director of the library’s foundation.

“It truly is one of those gifts that make an amazing difference, not only to the library but to the entire community,” Morgan said.

“It makes a huge difference. Demands are high, and expectations

are high, and we want to do a great job.”

The nearly $230,000 moved the endowment within about $50,000 of its target. The library expects to hit that target this spring.

Though the library has accepted more in pledges paid out in installments, Hyde’s gift is the largest one-time donation it has received, Morgan said.

City lags in retail options

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Lawrence has hundreds of retail options, but when it comes to the number of home furnishing, clothing, sporting goods and other kinds of stores based on population, the city is lagging behind some other Kansas metros.

With the lead-up to Christmas — typically one of the most revenue-generating times for retailers and busiest for restaurants — the Journal-World used data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Business Census to find out how the amount of available Lawrence shopping, eating and lodging opportunities compares with other cities.

KC couple lose in suit over pot search

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Wichita — A suburban Kansas City couple who sued authorities after a SWAT-style raid of their home found no marijuana has lost their civil lawsuit in a case that spurred Kansas lawmakers last year to make it easier for the public to access police investigative records.

A federal judge ruled late Friday that authorities had probable cause for the warrant to search the Leawood home of Robert and Adlynn Harte in 2012 COURTS after field tests of wet tea leaves found in their trash falsely tested positive for marijuana.

The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office had sifted through their trash based on information that Robert Harte had left a Kansas City, Mo., hydroponics store seven months earlier carrying a small bag.

According to her obituary, Hyde spent many days of her childhood at her hometown library, Great Neck Public Library in Great Neck, N.Y. “We are just humbled and so grateful that we were among the organizations she chose to support,” Morgan said.

Food and drink The Kansas City metro area, which includes Kansas and Missouri, has 3,655 food and drink establishments; Wichita has about 1,221; Topeka, 397; Lawrence, 269 and Manhattan, 174.

Lawrence’s 269 food and drink establishments include 95 “full service” restaurants and 98 “limited service,” or fast food. The rest comprise cafeterias, snack bars and caterers.

When adjusted for population, Lawrence came in behind both Topeka and Manhattan on the number of retail and food and drink options it offers.

Topeka and Manhattan tied for the number of restaurants, bars and other eating and drinking locations per 10,000 people.

Both have about 31.

Lawrence has 29 per 10,000 people, Wichita has 19 and the Kansas City metro has 18.

significantly smaller than for a traditional garage because the automated system doesn’t need much space in the way of driving lanes or ramps.

Stoddard emphasized that any new parking plan for the Lawrence project will have to win the approval of the City Commission.

That could get interesting too. The project was a political hot potato when it was approved last year.

The previous commission approved a 10-year, 85 percent property tax rebate for the project, but did so on a 3-2 vote. There was opposition from neighbors who said even with the automated garage, they were concerned there would be significant overflow parking into the neighborhood.

Now, without the parking system, I suspect that concern is heightened. The interesting part is that four of the five members on the City Commission are new since that vote was

taken. The one holdover — Mayor Mike Amyx — didn’t vote for the incentive package either.

Commissioner Leslie Soden back in October said she “absolutely” could see the commission debating whether to reduce the size of the incentive package if the project can’t deliver on its original parking plan.

It seems certain at this point that the new parking plan for the project will be different from what was proposed. Whether that means it is likely city commissioners will want to adjust the incentive, though, isn’t clear.

As Heffernan noted, he’s optimistic about finding a solution that will provide for more parking than what was originally proposed. The details will be important but, who knows, there might be a really creative solution out there.

Topeka — Starting Jan. 1, people applying for Medicaid coverage under KanCare will no longer work with the Department for Children and Families.

Instead, they will either have to apply online at ApplyforKanCare.ks.gov or submit paper applications through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

That change is part of an executive reorganization order that Gov. Sam Brownback announced in January 2015. Under that order, KDHE will take over the function of determining whether people are eligible to receive Medicaid coverage.

Officials at KDHE said a toll-free number, 1-800792-4884, has been set up for people who need help filling out the form, or if they need a paper application mailed to them.

In addition, elderly and

disabled applicants can call that number to arrange face-to-face meetings with “out-stationed” workers who will be available in several communities across the state, including Lawrence.

Those workers will be available by appointment only.

Families applying for coverage for themselves or their children will be asked to apply online or by paper application. They can also call the toll-free number for assistance filling out the forms.

People filling out paper applications can return them by mail, or by fax to 1-800-498-1255.

The new online application system known as KEES, the Kansas Eligibility Enforcement System, is part of a $234 million project to update and modernize state systems for Medicaid and other social service program applications.

engaging volunteers from campus and the community throughout the process, donor support is essential to the success of the project,” Severin said. “Contributions will go towards supplies, additional plant materials, overall coordination and enhancements.”

The Historic Mount Oread Friends is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving historic architecture and open spaces of the KU campus.

The total project cost for phase one of the Prairie Acre restoration is about $22,500, and the first $12,500 already has been raised, Severin said. Cost for the second phase of the restoration is expected to be about $15,000, he said.

The Prairie Acre, a swath of grass at the corner of Sunnyside Avenue and Sunflower Road, was designated in 1932 to remain undeveloped and protected by the university.

Over time, the acre has gradually dwindled to more like one-third of an acre, many native plant species have died out, and non-native plants have invaded, Severin said. He said encroaching trees and fescue, as well as hesitation to adequately burn the acre, have basically caused it to get out of balance, ecologically speaking.

Restoration plans include replanting native species, repairing the rock wall around the area and installing elements to make the acre educational and accessible for students and members of the public alike. Long term, Severin said, a management plan will help ensure the acre is maintained.

“The idea is to do more management of the property so that we’ll actually be doing regular burning at the right time of year,” he said. “Part of it is just managing it more like the prairie.”

This fall, volunteers collected, sorted and cleaned seeds for more than 100 species of plants that will be cultivated in a greenhouse and planted outside in the spring, according to a news release from KU. Douglas May and Catherine Schwoerer, both School of Business faculty, previously made the lead gift that will enable installation of a learning garden and educational kiosk.

“We are excited to contribute to a learning garden and interpretive signage that will help educate the public on the benefits of native prairie ecosystems and encourage the use of native wildflowers and grasses in home gardens,” May said in KU’s news release.

BRIEFLY Hearing in sex crime case rescheduled The preliminary hearing for a 33-year-old Baldwin City woman charged with sex crimes against a teenager has been pushed back to late January, the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office said.

The hearing was initially scheduled for Monday afternoon, but the defense filed a motion to continue, said Cheryl Wright Kunard, assistant to the district attorney. The hearing is now set for 9:30 a.m. Jan. 19.

The woman is charged with one felony count each of unlawful sexual relations, sexual exploitation of a child and promoting obscenity to minors.

The woman was hired by the Lawrence school district on Nov. 24, 2014, and assigned to the Douglas County Youth Services Day School at the Northeast Regional Juvenile Detention Center at 330 NE Industrial Lane. She was arrested Dec. 10 and fired by the school board Dec. 14.

The woman bonded out of the Douglas County Jail on Dec. 16, said Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek.

Gas leak at gym sends 2 to hospital A carbon monoxide leak at a Lawrence gym sent two people to the hospital on Thursday, firefighters said.

Just after 7 a.m. emergency responders were called to Genesis Health Club, 3201 Mesa Way, said Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Marshal Jim King.

Responding firefighters discovered the leak in the gym’s pool area.

The leak was the result of a faulty flue vent connected to boilers that heat the pool, said Rodney Steven II, the gym’s owner.

Steven said the vent has been fixed.

Two people exposed to the gas Thursday morning were taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, King said. Further information on their conditions was not immediately available.

O s a g e County.

If convicted, Flack could face the death penalty.

The To- Flack peka Capital Journal reports that Flack’s attorneys filed a motion asking the judge to explain to prospective jurors that they can

sentence Flack to life in prison, rather than impose the death penalty.

They also asked to question potential jurors about their views on the costs of execution versus lifetime imprisonment.

The attorneys also asked to hold a hearing on the admissibility of statements and conclusions draw by prosecutions about cell phone data analyzed in the

case, and filed a motion seeking to block prosecutors from questioning defense witnesses about compensation they are receiving.

Flack is set to appear at a motion hearing in district court today.

Prospective jurors will be questioned starting Feb. 1. Notices of jury duty have been mailed to 600 Franklin County citizens.

Baldwin City Council hires administrator

By Elvyn Jones ejones@theworldco.info

Baldwin City Council President Christi Darnell said a comment Glenn Rodden made during his interview a week ago for the open city administrator position convinced her that he was the man for the job.

“He’s from a small town near Chicago,” she said. “He said he knew what it meant for a community to grow but keep its own identity and not be absorbed. He gets it.

He knows what Baldwin City is about.”

The four other members of the Baldwin City Council agreed Monday, unanimously voting to end a four-month search for a new city administrator with the hiring of Rodden, who currently

serves in the same position in Beloit. He will start his duties Feb. 1 in Baldwin City.

Rodden The Baldwin City position has been open since Chris Lowe left in September to take a similar job in Monument, Colo.

Baldwin City Mayor Marilyn Pearse said Rodden was one of three candidates interviewed for the job. What made him appealing in her mind was his 16 years of experience as a city administrator in cities of comparable size that owned their own electrical utilities.

Rodden has been the city administrator at Beloit since July 2009.

Before that, he was city administrator in Seneca and then city manager in Holton. One of the attractions of the Baldwin City position was that it owned all its utilities, including electrical generating and distribution systems, Rodden said.

“You either like that kind of thing or you don’t,” he said. “It’s interesting to me.”

Another appeal was that the Baldwin City position will allow him and his wife, Ruth, a librarian with the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library, to buy a home in the community and end their current five-day-aweek divided household arrangement, Rodden said.

He and his wife moved to Kansas when he took the position in Seneca,

Rodden said. He earned his undergraduate and master’s degrees in public administration from Northern Illinois University. His first career position was as assistant city manager of Streator, Ill., where he later served as interim city manager during a search to fill that city’s top job.

Pearse and Darnell also pointed to Rodden’s experience overseeing successful municipal aquatic center bond issues at two of his past Kansas stops.

That was of interest to a city looking at a possible new community center and other capital improvement projects.

“It was a lot of hard work, but I don’t think I’ve ever had more fun than doing those,” Rodden said of the two pool campaigns.

Off-road driving damages area around lake

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Illegal off-road driving has damaged areas around Douglas State Fishing Lake, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks said. Those damaged areas will likely not be repaired until the spring, said Public Lands Manager Justin Hamilton.

Around Dec. 13, one or several people drove their vehicles on grassy areas around the lake, which is northeast of

Baldwin City, said Douglas County Game Warden Jon Entwhistle. The grassy areas are typically used for camping and hiking.

“They’ll do doughnuts and they’ll start up fast and run through the grass or they’ll hit the accelerator real hard and throw mud everywhere,” he said.

“It tears up the grass and puts pretty big ruts in the area and makes it pretty tough to put up a tent in that spot or anything like that,” Hamilton said.

To fix the damaged areas the department will need to send someone to smooth out the land and replant grass, likely a full day’s work, Hamilton said. That work will probably have to wait until spring because of the department’s busy schedule and lower traffic at the lake during the winter months.

In the meantime, Entwhistle said more offroad drivers will likely show up at the lake each time it rains, damaging the area even further.

“Now it’s probably an area of 15 or 20 feet by 30 or 40 feet,” he said. “And it’s turned into a little mud hole that we’re trying to keep from being a big mud hole.”

Anyone noticing any illegal off-road driving is asked to report it to Operation Game Thief, a division of the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, at 877-4263843.

Dakota reported traveling to Kansas and eating at the same location visited by the Kansas person.

The CDC did not note the specific location of the Kansas restaurant. The other three cases were linked to a single Chipotle location in Oklahoma.

On Monday the Journal-World contacted managers at the three Chipotle restaurants in Lawrence, and all said they had not had any reports of customers getting sick from eating E. coli-contaminated food.

One manager asked that a reporter contact corporate headquarters through the Chipotle.com website. No one from the company responded to a

request for an interview.

The Chipotle restaurants in Lawrence are located at 911 Massachusetts St., 4000 W. Sixth St., and 1420 W. 23rd St. For the larger outbreak, 53 people had been reported sick in nine states, with 46 of them saying they ate at a Chipotle.

The most recent illness linked to Chipotle among those cases started Nov. 10.

Following the outbreak, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. has said it is tightening standards to ensure food safety.

Spokesman Chris Arnold said in an email Monday that the chain is in the process of implementing its new programs, which

include increased testing of ingredients and food safety training for workers.

The CDC has not identified the ingredient that sickened people in the larger outbreak, which has already scared away customers and caused Chipotle’s sales to plummet 16 percent in November. Chipotle coCEO Steve Ells has told The Associated Press he doesn’t think the company will ever know for sure the exact ingredient that was responsible, but that he believes it was bacteria in fresh food such as tomatoes or cilantro.

odd-looking aircraft is designed the way it is: The nine-passenger plane would have a flight altitude of 10 feet and a max flight speed of 120 knots.

The plane features gull-wing doors envisioned for fast and easy passenger exchange, including passengers in wheelchairs.

The cockpit is above and behind the passenger cabin, an unconventional configuration envisioned to improve the pilot’s lateral visibility. Propulsion is from an electric motor.

There is a single aft

fan — with a protective wire cage to shield the blades from birds — and “electric trolling motors” in each wingtip float.

Students traveled to San Francisco in May to conduct market research for the project. Their paper even includes a business plan suggesting BATWinGs could be in the air by 2020, and that a fleet of 66 of them could break even on the investment less than two years after launching.

The students who worked on this were team leader Eric Bodlak, of Wayne, Neb.; deputy team leader Lauren

Schumacher, of Rolla, Mo.; Dhruv Chawla, of Mumbai, India; Sagar Jaju, of Panjagutta, India; Jeevan Kolli, of Hyderabad, India; and Ankur Patil, of Bangalore, India.

Winning one of the world’s biggest competitions for transportation systems is pride-worthy, Barrett-Gonzalez said.

And who knows, maybe BATWinG could eventually save the day in congested coastal city like San Francisco?

Unique team The special inner circle recruited

by Kansas State University President Jon Wefald helped build the KSU into the thriving university it is today.

T

here are many factors and many players, but, when they are aligned, and the time is right, amazing things can happen.

This is what took place at Kansas State University when Jon Wefald became president of the school in July 1986 and put together a special group of associates to form his inner circle of winners and doers.

He first recruited Bob Krause in August 1987 to come to KSU, first as provost and, shortly after, to serve as vice president for institutional development.

Next, he hired Jim Coffman to move into the provost’s office (1987-2005) and then Bill Snyder as the university’s football coach in 1988.

Each man played a major role in engineering an almost magical turnaround for the university.

Krause died last week. Those not directly associated with KSU are not likely to know or appreciate all he did to help build the university into the school it is today.

Wefald enjoyed many attributes, but one of his most exceptional skills was his ability to spot talent and recruit talent for the benefit of KSU and the state. He wanted people on his staff who could solve problems and initiate action rather than form a committee to study the problem and come back with a recommendation months later.

He wanted people with vision, a sense of urgency and the ability to listen.

Krause was the epitome of such a talented individual. During his tenure at KSU, he was committed, devoted and tireless in doing what he could to help build the university into a finer institution. Wefald could not have had a more loyal associate, eager to help no matter what the assignment might be.

As vice president for institutional development, he had direct involvement in most every facet of the school. He moved into the athletic director’s office in 2008 and retired in 2009.

Krause was an effective lobbyist and fundraiser and did an excellent job of recruiting students and telling the KSU story. He was active in alumni affairs, was generous in his fiscal support, served as a great connector between alumni and school officials and was a “fix-it” man when serious challenges or trouble arrived.

Wefald and the people he recruited — Krause, Coffman (whom Wefald has described as one of higher education’s most able provosts) and Snyder (one of the nation’s finest football coaches) — were a unique combination. It is apparently why and how KSU was transformed from a tottering state land-grant school with falling enrollments, low private fiscal support, poor faculty morale and a subpar athletic program into a vibrant university bursting with pride, enthusiasm and accomplishments.

The Wefald-Krause-Coffmann-Snyder team was a powerful group in every respect, one that should serve as a model for other universities. Some schools have it; others don’t. It requires hard work, vision and true leadership, but the dividends of such commitment are rewarding for all parties. Consider what took place at Kansas State.

Congressional GOP turns to ‘dark side’ Since nearly everyone else seems to be employing “Star Wars” metaphors these days, permit me to use some of my own.

To conservatives, the Republican congressional majority was supposed to be the good side of “The Force,” as opposed to what they regard as the Democratic “dark side.” And yet, unlike the film, “dark side” Democrats have triumphed again in the latest budget battle, which was no battle at all. The supposed good guys surrendered without a

fight against the relentless onslaught of the Democratic “stormtroopers” and their media enablers.

The monstrous $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill passed by the Republican majority House and Senate was praised by President Obama, who called House Speaker Paul Ryan to congratulate him for making government “work.” It’s working for Democrats, but not for Republicans, or the country, as the national debt

marches toward $20 trillion.

Republicans have their biggest congressional majority since the Civil War, but behave as if they are powerless. They live in fear of a government “shutdown” for which they believe they will be blamed by the media and by voters.

Is it any wonder Donald Trump is the leading Republican presidential candidate?

This bill represents not only what people hate about Washington; it’s what they hate about the misnamed Republican “leadership.”

Voices on the right, from Rush Limbaugh, to Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., are calling the spending bill a “betrayal.” Voters in two previous elections put Republicans in power and increased their margins for the express purpose of reversing, or at least halting, the unpopular policies of President Obama. A Democrat majority could not have done better.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., almost developed a personality in his response to the Republican capitulation. Reid said Senate Democrats had three goals: “We wanted to get rid

of sequestration, we were able to do that. We wanted to make sure there is parity between defense and the middle class, we wanted to make sure that we kept these poison pills off the legislation. All three goals we had, we accomplished.”

Reid also bragged about beating back GOP efforts, later abandoned, to defund Planned Parenthood and to tighten rules for accepting refugees, or as Democrats believe, future Democratic voters.

A giddy Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said: “If you would have told me this year that we’d be standing here celebrating the passage of an omnibus bill with no poison pill riders at higher (spending) levels above sequester than even the president requested, I wouldn’t have believed it. But here we are. This bill is a great victory for the principles Democrats stand for.”

Demonstrating again how out of touch he is with voter sentiment, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke in a radio address about process, not substance: “We got commit-

PUBLIC FORUM

Sanders’ issues To the editor: Kevin Groenhagen’s misinformation (Public Forum, Dec. 17) about both the Democratic Socialists of America and Bernie Sanders supporters needs a corrective analysis. He sets up two straw-men arguments, which he then uses to berate Sanders supporters by claiming that “likely a large percentage” of the supporters hold these views. What he is really saying is, “I made this up.”

As an active Sanders supporter, I can assure Kevin we don’t talk about Marx or the DSA. Bernie isn’t and hasn’t been a member of the DSA. What do we talk about? Racial justice, immigrant rights, equitable and free public education, minimum wage, economic inequality, declining living standards for all but the 1 percent, bipartisan corporate control of legislative bodies, the abuse of the tax code by corporate interests to enrich themselves, the militarization of the police, an increasingly polluted biosphere, singlepayer health care and free universal child care among other topics.

These matters have been taken up by millions of Bernie supporters. This is massive disaffiliation from the senseless nihilism of oligarchic spokespersons promoting a commercial and predatory society.

Do these issues which call for a fundamental change in the quality of life depend on Marx’s “Das Kapital”? More likely it comes from an increasing demand for societal democratization. So, Kevin, would you like me to bring you a Bernie bumper sticker?

port last week suggesting that the vacuum caused by destroying ISIS would be filled rapidly by any of 15 other radical groups. It seems that the harder we try the more we confirm their vision of a great clash of religions or civilizations, and that is an effective recruiting tool to convince frustrated people to join in a “good fight.”

Military action might have the most shortterm effect, but experience suggests that the long-term results can be disastrous. What if we simply decided to help the people of the Middle East any way we can other than through the use of violence? Food, jobs, education, a sense of personal worth, hope for the future, hope for children to have a better life — these eventually could counteract the radicals’ offers of heroics and a sense of purpose in their “holy” war. Let’s help, not destroy.

Questionable choice

To the editor: The Journal-World, on more than one occasion, has documented various issues Thomas Fritzel’s businesses have had with the city on various projects dating back several years. With this background, why would Kansas University and the KU Endowment Association choose to partner with him on Rock Chalk Park and the planned indoor tennis facility?

One is judged by the company one keeps. I, for one, am disappointed in KU and KUEA’s choice of business partner. If I must question their choice of business partner (and how could one not?), I must also question whether I should continue any donations or future planned donations to KU or KUEA. I would not be pleased if they use my donations with the same care in which they have shown in choosing with whom To the editor: they partner.

tees working again, just like we promised. We opened up the legislative process, just like we promised.”

Who cares about that when Republicans are losing the policy debate to the minority? Republicans failed to keep far more significant promises, like defunding Obamacare and rolling back the president’s agenda.

On his radio program last Thursday, Rush Limbaugh said, “There is no Republican Party. You know, we don’t even need a Republican Party if they’re gonna do this … just elect Democrats, disband the Republican Party and let the Democrats run it, because that’s what is happening anyway.”

Maybe it’s time the “Grand Old Party” was retired and replaced by a grand NEW party. This GOP is rapidly going the way of the 19thcentury Whig Party, which the Republicans replaced in time for the election of Abraham Lincoln.

“The Force” is no longer with today’s Republicans, who have given in to the Democrats’ dark side.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 22, 1915: years “More drastic ago treatment in the IN 1915 future for undesirable characters who persist in violating city and state laws in Lawrence was advocated today at the weekly meeting of the city commissioners. It was admitted that the treatment given police court characters in the past few months has not been of a sort to discourage the commission of crimes and misdemeanors. The increase of the city police force, or the institution of a city rock pile on which offenders will have to work while they are being fed at city expense, were two alternatives proposed to remedy conditions. The rock pile idea has more backers than the other.”

“The city officials have started their work of bringing about a more orderly condition in the part of town known as the ‘east bottoms’ by proceeding against the ‘Titanic’ restaurant, long known as the storm center of disturbances on New Jersey street. David Baker, manager of the Titanic, was taken before Police Judge Albach this morning and charged with ‘having control of a building known as the Titanic and unlawfully permitting offensive noise and disturbances.’... The police have found it hard to get evidence against the Titanic. A spy system maintained by the denizens of the bottoms has caused the frequenters of the place to scatter whenever the officers started in that direction. People living in the neighborhood who have known of conditions, have been unwilling to be summoned as witnesses for fear that harm would come to them afterward.”

U.S. District Judge John Lungstrum concluded no constitutional violations occurred and that the officers’ conduct in the search was lawful and reasonable. Despite the loss in their case, the couple’s legal fight has already had an impact far beyond the litigation.

The couple went on a crusade to find what led to the search, which turned up no evidence and produced no charges. They spent $25,000 in legal costs to get the probable-cause affidavit, a document typically used to justify arrests or searches.

Now the presumption is that the probable cause affidavits are open. Before, the presumption was that they were closed.”

The judge also noted in his decision that the Hartes’ lawsuit prompted the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office to require lab confirmation of suspected drug material.

Lawrence Ferree, the attorney who represented Johnson County and the other defendants, said the judge wrote a very thorough opinion and appropriately applied the law to the facts.

The Hartes’ attorney said they are studying the decision and probably will appeal.

State Rep. John Rubin, the Republican chairman of the House corrections and juvenile justice committee, said the case highlighted a larger issue.

“I didn’t think it was right that it took the Hartes a year and $25,000 or more in their own money in legal fees to obtain the information, the probable cause affidavit, that supported the warrant that allowed the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department to come into their home with weapons drawn,” Rubin said.

Forget the Yule Log on Christmas Eve unless you want to break into a sweat in the eastern U.S. Record high temperatures could soar into the 70s on Thursday, shattering Christmas Eve records in several cities, including Boston (where the record high is 61), New York City (63), Philadelphia (64), Washington (69), Charlotte (71) and Atlanta (72).

“There is a high probability for record-setting warmth up and down the entire Eastern Seaboard,” AccuWeather meteorologist Rob Englund said.

Highs Thursday will range from the 50s in Maine to the 70s in the Mid-Atlantic and into the lower 80s in parts of the Southeast. Christmas Day should be about 10 degrees cooler than Christmas Eve in the Northeast

and Mid-Atlantic, but high temperatures will still be well above average. The Southeast should stay toasty on Christmas Day, with highs in the 70s and 80s.

The temperature surge this week is from a high-pressure area offshore, Weather.com meteorol-

ogist Matt Sitkowski said. The high pressure will pump warm, southerly winds to the eastern half of the U.S., he said.

Parts of the South will see heavy rain, thunderstorms and even the chance of a few tornadoes this week.

Farther west, a parade of winter storms will continue. Snow will be plentiful in the Cascades, Sierra and northern Rockies, the National Weather Service says.

troops have died in combat, many of them in aircraft crashes, according to Pentagon announcements.

The Taliban, which wages an insurgency against the U.S.backed Afghan government, claimed responsibility for Monday’s bombing in an email to the Associated Press. There are about 9,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, part of a NATO force of 13,000.

Last week, the Pentagon announced that the security situation for the second half of 2015 in Afghanistan “deteriorated with an increase in effective insurgent attacks.”

Trump hasn’t changed politics Billionaire’s rivals continue to run conventional races Rick Hampson @rickhampson USA TODAY

One of the many paradoxes of Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy is that it has dominated politics without changing how politics are practiced.

Despite Trump’s prominence, his rivals are not aping his tactics.

They advertise on TV when they can afford to. They stay on script.

They don’t use the word “stupid” to describe voters AFP/GETTY IMAGES in Iowa.

Donald Trump No one else ridicules a woman’s personal appearance, denigrates the service of a famous POW or cites FDR’s wartime roundup of immigrants as a happy precedent.

No one else has dispensed so readily with conventional virtues, such as modesty (“I’m really, really smart”). And no one else has been denounced by everyone from Dick Cheney to J.K. Rowling (who pronounced Trump worse than Voldemort).

Trump has given voice to an angry, alienated segment of GOP voters that will not easily be placated, much less enticed to follow the eventual nominee if Trump founders.

How to assess his long-term impact? No one knows how he’s gotten this far, much less how long he’ll go.

Clinton to call for expanded efforts to cure Alzheimer’s Women, minorities are at heightened risk Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

U.S. deaths from Alzheimer’s are exploding, and Hillary Clinton wants to make it a major issue for the female and minority voters at a disproportionate risk of developing the disease.

Tuesday, in her last campaign speech before the Christmas holiday, Clinton plans to call for a dramatic increase in federal spending to find a cure for the

only cause of death ranked in America’s top 10 that cannot be cured, prevented or even slowed, the campaign told USA TODAY. The Democratic front-runner will propose spending $2 billion a year in an attempt to cure the degenerative brain disease by 2025, according to a campaign official who was not authorized to speak publicly before the announcement.

It’s the first time a presidential candidate has made Alzheimer’s a major campaign issue, said Robert Egge, executive director of the Alzheimer’s Impact Movement, whose advocates lean on all 2016 campaigns to take up the issue.

ANDREW HARRER, BLOOMBERG

Hillary Clinton takes a break in the Democratic debate Saturday.

None has offered specific plans.

“It makes this a national conversation,” he said.

Clinton plans to make her proposal at a campaign stop in Fairfield, Iowa. Monday, Clinton held

a conference call with researchers during which she underscored the urgency of raising the disease’s profile.

From 2000 to 2013, Alzheimer’s deaths increased 71%, while heart disease fatalities dropped 14%. “Alzheimer’s is the redhaired stepchild among the top diseases threatening the aging and our health care system,” said Rudolph Tanzi, a neurology professor who discovered many of the genes leading to Alzheimer’s.

He oversees a research center at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Congress significantly boosted funding levels in 2016, yet it’s still less than half of what researchers

say they need every year. It’s an investment, they say, that would be recouped in the first three years after discovery of a treatment.

The alternative is about $1.1 trillion in costs for Medicare, Medicaid and caretakers in 2050.

Clinton is looking for issues that transcend generations and draw in independent female voters.

Although most of the afflicted are older women, their primary caretakers are younger females carrying emotional and economic burdens. About 40% of caregivers have a household income of $50,000 or less.

we know what the hell is going on.’’ Trump repeats his favorite adjectives as if they were Scripture, notably “weak,” “fantastic” and “great.”

month, he said his father wasn’t watching CSI anymore. “He’s now watching Fox again, trying to figure out Donald Trump. That’s his main goal in life,” Bush said.

“Hard for a guy like that to understand the Trump phenomenon.”

It’s not just 41. John Geer, a renowned Vanderbilt political scientist, sounds as discombobulated as a freshman in one of his classes: “No one has a solid explanation for this phenomenon, and I am no different.’’

Any analysis of Trump’s success comes with a Trump-size caveat: In a large field, before a primary ballot has been cast, he has managed to attract only a plurality of Republicans, as measured by polls. It’s not clear he can expand that into 50-plus-one in the primaries, let alone the general election.

Above all, his campaign’s ultimate impact “depends on how it ends,’’ says Dan Schnur, who worked on John McCain’s presidential campaign and teaches politics at the University of Southern California. There are at least four possibilities: Trump is nominated; he loses and supports the nominee; he loses and snipes at the nominee from the sidelines; he loses and runs as an independent or on a third-party ticket (which he said last week he would not do).

There’s one more possible outcome, which is that no matter what Trump does after the primaries, his campaign will have so alienated groups such as Hispanics and women that it costs the GOP the election.

Sal Russo, a founder of the Tea Party Express movement who worked in 1992 for independent candidate Ross Perot, says that if the GOP unites around another candidate as its nominee, “then none of the machinations of the campaign will matter. All the primary opponents will be forgotten and inconsequential to the general election.’’

Take 2008, he says. Hillary Clinton, the unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination, was not a factor in November. Four years later, onetime GOP primary polling leaders such as Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain and Michele Bachmann had no impact on Mitt Romney’s race against Barack Obama.

If Trump crashes, which has seemed imminent for months, he may be remembered only as a cautionary tale, along with failed demagogues such as Louisiana populist Huey Long (“Every Man a King”), Sen. Joseph McCarthy (“Communists in the State Department”) and George Wallace (“not a dime’s worth of difference’’ between the Democrats and Republicans).

Still, Trump’s success would seem to make him an appealing model. John F. Kennedy’s victory in 1960 created a demand for telegenic, charismatic young Democrats. Flinty sincerity like Ronald Reagan’s still makes Republicans swoon.

But just because Trump does it

TRUMP MIGHT NOT BE EASILY EMULATED

OUTSIDER APPEAL

Everyone runs against Washington, including (especially) those who’ve made careers there. But Trump, who had never even run for school committee, is the real thing. He has made what was a qualification for office — experience — a liability and inexperience an asset. If Trump wins the nomination, he will have come further from outside the mainstream than anyone since utility executive Wendell Willkie, the GOP candidate in 1940.

SPONTANEITY AND CANDOR

To fans, Trump has been as refreshing as a thunderstorm on a hot summer day. Voters tired of scripted, traditional campaigning delight in his willingness to say whatever seems to come to mind.

The contrast with more conventional campaigners, such as Jeb Bush, has been devastating. In such a stultifying milieu, says Mitchell McKinney, who teaches at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, “even the outlandish has its appeal.’’

A POLITICAL LEGACY

SARA D. DAVIS, GETTY IMAGES

Donald Trump speaks at a rally in front of the USS Wisconsin on Oct. 31 in Norfolk, Va. doesn’t mean everyone can. Elizabeth Wilner, vice president of the Kantar Media consulting firm, calls him “an incredible anomaly.”

What lesser mortal could successfully emulate a candidate so rich, so bombastic, so opportunistic, so New York? Trump is a billionaire who claims independence from special interests, and a network TV star and best-selling author with peerless name recognition. He has the sharp elbows of a Manhattan real estate developer and the PR savvy of a veteran of America’s most competitive news market.

In this sense, Trump is like The Beatles or Frank Lloyd Wright — an intuitive genius.

“You shouldn’t use him as an example of anything that could be replicated,’’ says Kip Cassino of Borrell Associates, a media consulting firm.

John Zogby, a pollster, says he doesn’t believe Trump’s particular talents will dissuade others from following his lead. “If we keep going down this road, someone else will come along and say, ‘Trump had the right ideas. He didn’t play it just right.’ ’’ Experts say Trump’s campaign has featured innovations and insights that could inform campaigns in the future.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Every campaign pays it lip service. But Trump has become the king of Twitter, collecting 5 million followers and counting. The

site is fast, free and perfect for the middle-school put-downs at which he excels. Zac Moffatt, cofounder of Targeted Victory, a digital media consulting firm that works with Republicans, calls Trump “a look into the future of how public figures will behave online.’’

FREE MEDIA

How ironic: The candidate who could buy all the airtime he wants hasn’t needed to. Every candidate wants free media, but only Trump has been consistently able to get it, by making news and generating ratings. It’s all the more impressive this year, given the large field. Much of the coverage is derogatory, but given the news media are held in contempt by Trump’s followers, “it just gives him more juice,” says Tobe Berkovitz of Boston University, who’s worked on national campaigns.

VOTER ANGER

The most conservative Republican voters have been angry for years. Witness the Tea Party revolt in 2010 and the results of the midterm elections of 2014.

HOT RHETORIC

Trump revolutionized what can be said in a national political campaign — denigrating the POW heroism of John McCain and implying a female debate questioner was menstruating. Trump says things that would end most campaigns yet push his poll numbers higher. “As far as his supporters are concerned, there’s nothing he can say that goes over the line,” observes Aaron Kall, director of debate at the University of Michigan. “There is no line.’’

Huntsman hears a call to make a run

Mary Troyan WASHINGTON Sen. Lindsey Graham is dropping out of the presidential race, his campaign announced Monday.

Graham, a South Carolina Republican serving his third term, addressed his supporters in a video and an email.

“While we have run a campaign that has made a real difference, I have concluded this is not my time,” Graham said.

Graham’s focus on national security and fighting terrorism was influential in the overall primary debate, but he was not wellknown outside South Carolina or the Senate. He failed to poll above single digits nationally or in the early voting states.

In a statement Monday on Sidewire, a political news analysis

“There’s this persistent feeling ‘the party’s not paying attention to me,’ ’’ says Terry Madonna, director of the Franklin & Marshall College poll. A movement famous for having no leader found one in Trump, who has tapped discontent with government dysfunction, economic stagnation and demographic change.

It’s possible Trump’s biggest impact on politics is yet to come.

In recent years, Republicans have succeeded in channeling the party’s base, or conservative wing, in support of relatively moderate nominees such as McCain and Romney. Now loosed, the passions of that wing may not be easily directed. Even if Trump doesn’t get the nomination, those passions could lead to the nomination of a candidate sufficiently far to the right to ensure the election of a Democrat.

Or it could lead to a more fundamental schism, including a third-party candidacy. The GOP establishment faced the 2016 election determined to avoid the internal stresses that weakened Romney in 2012, McKinney says.

Instead, Trump has made them worse. “Trump makes it seem like it isn’t really one party,” Madonna says.

There’s a lesson here, Schnur says: “When you unleash your base, it’s unrealistic to think that they’ll stop at your goals. … The bases of both parties are capable of wreaking the havoc Trump is causing.’’ He cites the early success of Bernie Sanders, a selfavowed socialist, against the wellfinanced, well-known Hillary Clinton. “Just because a Sanders can’t win this year doesn’t mean one won’t in the future,’’ he says — especially against a less formidable centrist than Clinton.

The usual outcome when a party’s id takes over and a candidate such as Barry Goldwater (conservative Republican, 1964) or George McGovern (liberal Democrat, 1972) is nominated: electoral disaster, followed by a retreat to the center — not a congenial place for the likes of Donald Trump.

Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said that with Graham’s announcement, “Republicans lost our most qualified, thoughtful, fearless and honest presidential candidate.”

Graham stood out in the crowded GOP field by promoting his efforts at compromise with Democrats on issues such as reducing the federal debt and fixing immigration laws.

TINY GERMAN VILLAGE IS SANTA CENTRAL FOR CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS LETTERS Rachel Stern and Nicholas Spencer Special for USA TODAY

T

HIMMELPFORT, GERMANY

his tiny village 60 miles west of Berlin has one long street, iconic half-timbered houses and a very special post office.

Here, 20 multilingual “angels” spend months answering hundreds of thousands of letters that children from around the world write to Santa Claus in hopes he’ll grant their Christmas wishes.

“It’s Santa’s magic,” says Deutsche Post spokeswoman Tina Birke during a bustling afternoon at the German postal service’s special branch office. “The children put so much work into the letters that it’s nice when they receive an answer.”

Himmelpfort (Heaven’s Gate) has run Santa’s postal operation since 1984, when a couple of German children addressed their letters to Santa and sent them here. They believed that as a result of the village’s name, Santa must live here.

A local postwoman decided to answer them herself, and word quickly spread that Himmelpfort was the place to reach Santa.

Growing at a steady pace, the letters exploded in number after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

Now the village of 500 residents receives more than 300,000 letters each year from 69 countries, including the U.S. The official address: An den Weihnachtsmann (To Santa Claus), Weihnachtspostfiliale (Santa’s Post Office Branch), 16798 Himmelpfort, Deutschland (Germany). But some make it here addressed simply “To

Santa.”

The letters can be heartwrenching, uplifting or funny. Some children ask for toys and the latest electronic gadget.

Others ask for their sick parent to get better or a wish for a family member. One memorable letter came from a boy who wanted his little sister to grow teeth soon so that they could eat together.

“Santa’s response is a secret,” Birke says. “We want every child to be surprised.”

The children often illustrate their wishes with vibrant drawings or color their lists with crayons. These letters often brighten the letter-writers’ days.

In one, 9-year-old Leena Zerbock from Berlin drew a starry sky with an angel hovering above a snowman and a deer. She wished for accessories for her toy horses.

“We’re delighted to read these letters with beautiful pictures

and handcrafted wish lists,” says “angel” Konni Matzke, as she sat at a table flipping through books of postal codes with fellow helpers to properly address replies.

Santa and his helpers, mostly nearby residents dressed as angels in flowing silky white gowns, write handwritten responses in languages from English to Lithuanian. These are stamped with a special seasonal postmark of Santa Claus surrounded by stars.

Some children can’t wait until Christmas: By summer, the town had received 7,700 letters waiting to be answered, Birke said. By its official opening Nov. 10, it had already received 23,255 missives.

The holiday spirit in Himmelpfort, whose founding dates back to 1299, is not just limited to the post office, which sits at the end of the main road, marked by a wooden elf holding a letter.

The Weihnachtshaus (Christmas House) Himmelpfort and ca-

fé, the town’s year-round Christmas-themed bed-andbreakfast next door, is decorated as though it were December all year round, with a museum in the back representing Santa’s abode, from his bed to desk.

Almost every day in the season, children and adults visit from Berlin and surrounding towns.

They pose for photos with Santa, meet his “angels” and sometimes send letters and packages in colorful Christmas-themed boxes from the functioning post office.

Last week inside the post office, a group of children gathered around Father Christmas himself.

A woman dressed like Frau Holle, a character from a popular German fairy tale, greets the group of 4- and 5-year-olds.

“Happiness for these children is shaking Santa’s hand, or to ask him a question,” she says. “That’s something they can’t get from a book or CD.”

The Food and Drug Administration on Monday announced it is lifting its ban on blood donation by gay and bisexual men, but there are still restrictions in place.

There’s a catch as ban ends for gay male blood donors Kim Painter

Special for USA TODAY

Gay and bisexual men in the United States are no longer barred from donating blood, under a policy change announced Monday by the Food and Drug Administration, but there’s a big catch: Men still cannot donate if they have had sex with other men in the previous 12 months.

While the new policy lifts a ban in place for more than 30 years, since the early days of the HIV and AIDS epidemic, it effectively stops sexually active gay men from donating. But the change puts the policy for gay and bisexual men in line with other potential donors at increased risk for HIV, such as recent transfusion recipients, FDA officials said.

“The FDA’s responsibility is to maintain a high level of blood product safety for people whose lives depend on it,” FDA acting commissioner Stephen Ostroff said in a statement. “We have taken great care to ensure this policy revision is backed by sound sci-

“While many gay and bisexual men will be eligible to donate their blood ... countless more will continue to be banned solely on the basis of their sexual orientation and without medical or scientific reasoning.”

ence and continues to protect our blood supply.”

The risk of getting HIV from a blood transfusion in the United States today is about 1 in 1.47 million, FDA said.

An advocacy group called National Gay Blood Drive said it supported the decision, but said a fairer policy would assess HIV risks from sexual behavior in a more individual way. That would mean asking detailed questions about anal and oral sex, rather than considering all male-tomale sexual contact equally risky, spokesman Jay Franzone said.

“The revised policy is still discriminatory,” the group said in a statement. “While many gay and bisexual men will be eligible to

donate their blood and help save lives under this 12-month deferral, countless more will continue to be banned solely on the basis of their sexual orientation and without medical or scientific reasoning.”

The FDA considered recent studies and other data, as well as the experiences of other countries, in making its decision, the agency said. The United Kingdom and Australia are among other countries that require men to wait to donate blood if they have had sex with other men.

Anyone who has ever tested positive for HIV, exchanged sex for drugs or money, or injected illicit drugs is still barred from giving blood.

SPAIN STRUGGLES TO FORM POST-ELECTION GOVERNMENT

Spain braced for weeks of political uncertainty Monday after voters ended decades of two-party dominance by electing a fragmented Parliament made up of multiple parties.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s ruling conservative Popular Party took the most seats — 123 — in Sunday’s election, but it still fell far short of the 176 majority needed to govern alone. That meant it will need to form a coalition government with one of the country’s other political parties.

It has no obvious partner for that.

Rajoy said Monday that he will “try to form a stable government” and insisted that his party was “still the No. 1 force in Spain.”

The homeless woman accused of deliberately driving onto a packed sidewalk along the Las Vegas Strip told police she was stressed out by security guards chasing her from parking lots in which she had been trying to sleep, a police report indicates.

Lakeisha Holloway, 24, will be charged with murder with a deadly weapon and other charges related to the incident Sunday evening that left one person dead and dozens injured. “The videos obviously show intention,” Clark

County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said at a news conference Monday. The Clark County Coroner’s Office identified the person killed as Jessica Valenzuela, 32, of Buckeye, Ariz.

The man accused of purchasing two of the guns used in the San Bernardino shooting rampage will remain in custody as a criminal case against him proceeds, a federal judge ruled Monday.

U.S. District Magistrate Judge David Bristow said a conspiracy Marquez allegedly plotted with one of the shooters was enough to keep him in federal prison as his case is heard.

Marquez, 24, is accused of plotting at least two other assaults, in 2011 and 2012, with Sayed Farook that were not carried out. Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, died in a shootout with police following the Dec. 2 attack that left 14 people dead and more than 20 wounded.

Failure to promptly fix Mini Coopers at issue Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

U.S. auto-safety regulators imposed a penalty of up to $40 million on BMW North America for recall failures. The German automaker is the latest in a series of car companies that have violated federal safety rules.

BMW agreed to the penalty in a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration consent order that involves an immediate $10 million fine, $10 million to overhaul procedures and $20 million in deferred fines if the company fails to make changes.

As part of the deal, the compa-

ny admitted to violating U.S. regulations requiring prompt reporting of defects.

The penalties revealed Monday stem from the company’s failure to tell vehicle owners promptly of recalls and from its failure to fix a version of the Mini Cooper that failed a side-impact crash test.

BMW makes the Mini brand.

NHTSA will also impose an independent safety consultant to recommend changes to the automaker’s recall compliance practices and monitor the company’s performance for two years.

The penalties come amid a litany of safety scandals in the auto industry. NHTSA has penalized General Motors and Fiat Chrysler over the last two years for their own failures to fix vehicles expeditiously and notify safety officials promptly of defects. Amid pressure on automakers, the

BMW said in a statement it “is committed to further improving its recall processes to better serve its customers” and it “respects the role of NHTSA and looks forward to working with them to develop solutions for the future.”

NHTSA’s probe started with an investigation into BMW’s failure

to meet regulatory standards on side-impact crash protection with 2014 and 2015 Mini Cooper vehicles. The agency said it noticed on October 2014 that a two-door hardtop version of the vehicle didn’t meet protocol.

“The company responded that the vehicle was listed with an incorrect weight and would pass the test if conducted at the proper weight rating, but agreed to conduct a recall to correct the incorrect weight rating on the vehicle’s tire information placard and to conduct a voluntary service campaign, short of a recall, to add additional side-impact protection,” NHTSA said in a statement.

But in July 2015, NHTSA said a crash test showed that the vehicle still failed side-impact crash tests.

It then discovered that the German automaker had not fixed the vehicles as it had promised.

MORE HOMES KICKING BROADBAND TO THE CURB IINGRAM PUBLISHING/GETTY IMAGES

Cost is too high, poll finds; more people using phones instead Mike Snider @MikeSnider USA TODAY

The percentage of U.S. homes with high-speed broadband Internet service has significantly fallen for the first time, as a growing number of Americans are relying solely on mobile broadband service via smartphones.

Overall, about 67% of U.S. homes have broadband connectivity, down from 70% in 2013, according to the new Home Broadband report, out Monday from the Pew Research Center.

On the rise: those who connect to the Net using only smartphones, now at 13%, up from 8% two years ago. That boosts the total Americans with broadband via home and mobile connectivity at 80%, compared to 78% in 2013.

The main reason for not having broadband? One-third (33%) said the monthly cost is too high while 10% said the cost of a com-

puter is the biggest barrier.

That should raise some concerns as many of those surveyed

by Pew say that the lack of home broadband service would make it harder to find a job, get health information or other data. Seven out of 10 (69%) say that now, compared to 56% in 2010. For the report, Pew surveyed more than 6,000 Americans ages 18 or older in September 2013 and in three separate surveys in 2015.

“Though the changes we see are significant statistically, we are not calling this a new trend — but an important pattern to watch,” said John Horrigan, a senior researcher at Pew Research Center.

Concerns about the cost of home broadband is greatest among those who’d most likely benefit from the advances of the service, the researchers said.

Among the benefits: accessing government services, looking for jobs, getting news and learning new things that could enrich their lives.

The biggest declines in broadband adoption were among lower- to middle-income homes, rural homes, minority homes — with African Americans seeing a

decline of 8% and Hispanics 6% — and among parents of children CORD-CUTTING HOMES younger than 18.

Robots are taking over your portfolio The online services, now considered mainstream, will pick stocks for you at the push of a button

Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Cars driving themselves. Robots vacuuming your floors.

What’s next? Robots managing your money — and it’s already happening.

The investing world was disrupted big-time in 2015 with the age of roboadvisers — online services that will pick stocks for you based on your personal financial goals and taste for risk. Just push a button and you have a brokerage account filled with a sound portfolio of stocks.

Roboadvisers have been tried before, but this year Charles

Schwab made it mainstream. It’s now as socially acceptable to use a computer to build your portfolio as it is to get a ride or even a date. Schwab customers have $4.1 billion invested with the brokerage firm’s Intelligent Portfolios offering, as of the end of September, and it just opened the service early this year. Rival Betterment, which offers a competing service, now has $3.2 billion in assets under management, up 191% from the start of the year.

Roboadvisers aren’t just for Millennials starting out. Schwab’s average roboadviser client age is 44, and 75% of Betterment’s customers are older than 32. Roboadviser customers have $85,000 portfolios with Schwab

and $25,000 with Betterment, on average. And investors’ eagerness to hand over investment management to an algorithm means many more major banks and brokerages will offer roboadvisers in 2016, Naureen Hassan at Schwab says. “The technology is becoming mainstream,” she says.

The robots aren’t done, Betterment CEO Jon Stein says. Expect more value-added advice to be added to roboadvisory firms, he says, such as retirement planning.

And it’s hard to imagine many investors getting upset if their lousy 401(k) plans are replaced with a robot.

“The 401(k) is the last bastion yet to be brought to the modern age,” Stein says.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch David Craig @davidgcraig USA TODAY

Ever since the Federal Reserve announced its long-awaited interest rate hike last week, things have gotten exciting on Wall Street, though not exactly the kind of excitement most investors might prefer.

When the Fed announced Wednesday that it was raising rates for the first time in nearly a decade, investors initially celebrated, sending the Standard & Poor’s 500 index up 1.5%.

The party didn’t last long. The S&P fell 1.5% Thursday and another 1.8% Friday for its worst two-day drop since August.

Investors might have to get used to those kinds of swings, because volatility typically picks up after the start of a rate-tightening

cycle, says Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ. In fact, volatility was already on the rise going into the Fed meeting. Nearly two out of every three days this December, the S&P 500 rose or fell 1% on a closing basis, Stovall says. That is double the fewer than 30% of all trading days in 2015 that have had a 1% rise or fall.

If history is any guide, the swings in stock prices will get even more jarring from here.

In the past 50 years, the number of up or down days of at least 1% averaged 16.4 in the three months after am initial Fed rate hike in a tightening cycle, vs. an average of 9.3 for the three months leading up to the hike, according to Stovall.

Monday, at least, the whiteknuckle ride scenario didn’t quite play out. The benchmark S&P 500 index rose just 0.8%.

Shkreli also resigned from the KaloBios board of directors, the company said. Tony Chase, who

Shkreli separately resigned from Turing’s board Friday.

The KaloBios ouster marks the latest setback for the 32-year-old health care industry entrepreneur, who has drawn widespread criticism for imposing steep price hikes in the cost of drugs controlled by his companies.

The increases include a more than 5,000% jump in Turing’s price for Daraprim — from $13.50 per pill to $750. The medication

Auto parts seller losing steam among investors Q: Can Pep Boys soup up your returns?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Road rage is breaking out over shares of auto supply seller Pep Boys (PBY). But investors are best off staying out of the way on this one.

The Philadelphia-based seller of car maintenance and repair services said Monday the buyout offer from Icahn Enterprises is better than the one received earlier from Bridgestone Americas.

Icahn is offering $16.50 a share for the company — topping the $15 a share offer from Bridgestone. Shares gained Monday as investors enjoyed the bidding war.

But for investors who aren’t in Pep Boys stock already — it’s hard to see a reason why they would jump in now.

The company is expected by analysts on average to post an adjusted loss of 11 cents a share in 2015 — well below the 26 cents a share profit in 2014, S&P Capital IQ says. Profit is seen reaching just 18 cents a share on an adjusted basis in 2016, which is still 31% lower than where it was in 2014.

Analysts seem to think the battle over Pep Boys already has generated maximum gains to investors. The stock is rated a “hold” by analysts on average, and there’s an average $16.50 a share 18month price target on the stock.

With shares trading higher than that already, it’s difficult to see much more upside.

Instead, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn and the Securities and Exchange Commission last week alleged Shkreli illegally took stock from Retrophin — a biotechnology company he started in 2011 and was ousted from in 2014 — to pay off unrelated business debts.

The debts allegedly were owed to investors defrauded in two

now-defunct Shkreli hedge funds that focused on health care investments: MSMB Capital and MSMB Healthcare.

“I am confident I will prevail.

The charges against me are baseless and without merit,” Shkreli, who is free on $5 million bond, tweeted Saturday. His Twitter account was hacked by an unknown attacker Sunday. Shkreli tweeted Monday that he had regained control of the account. He also told The Wall Street Journal he believed that federal authorities targeted him over the drug price hikes and his in-your-face style defending his decisions.

@PatRyanWrites USA TODAY

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are together again.

After playing ill-suited detectives in 2010’s The Other Guys, the funny guys are squaring off in Daddy’s Home (in theaters Christmas Day). Ferrell plays strait-laced stepdad Brad (Ferrell), who feels territorial when his kids’ real father, Dusty (Wahlberg), swoops in to parent and try to win back ex-wife Sarah (Linda Cardellini). As Ferrell puts it, the movie is “an original take on the family comedy and comments on what’s becoming increasingly more of the norm: the idea of a blended family, with stepparents being involved with the actual biological parents and co-parenting.”

They’re roles that Ferrell, 48, and Wahlberg, 44, know well: Each has kids of his own (Ferrell has three sons; Wahlberg has two daughters and two sons).

The actors catch up with USA TODAY to share their own parenting tips, how they survive Christmas and what movie they’d like to make together next: NEW YORK

CINDY ORD, GETTY IMAGES

MAKING WAVES J.K. Rowling shot down haters on Twitter Tuesday after online backlash over the casting of black South African actress Noma Dumezweni as Hermione Granger in the play ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,’ opening in London next summer. “Canon: brown eyes, frizzy hair and very clever,” Rowling tweeted. “White skin was never specified. Rowling loves black Hermione.”

Q

How would you compare your own parenting styles with those of Brad and Dusty?

Wahlberg: I’m more like Brad,

really.

Ferrell: I would say my parenting

style is distant, at best. Keep the kids away, bring them out for birthdays and holidays. Otherwise, I don’t got time.

Wahlberg: Tell them how much

Daisy Ridley began to realize the power held by Star Wars women in September, when she and fellow Force Awakens star John Boyega went to a Disney Store in London the first day movie toys went on sale.

A fan approached her to autograph a toy of Boyega’s Finn character rather than Ridley’s Rey, she recalls. “I was like, ‘Why am I signing a Finn thing?’ And he was like, ‘The Reys have sold out.’ I was so pleased!”

It’s no longer a galaxy where Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia or Natalie Portman’s Padmé Amidala are the only heroic women. Rey is the lightsaber-wielding focal point of a new crop of Star Wars films — the first of which already has set records with its $238 million debut — but she’s just one in a strong crew of women bringing not just balance but equality to the Force.

Daisy Ridley

DAVID JAMES, LUCASFILM

Rey (Daisy Ridley) is a desert scavenger with a much bigger destiny in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Leia is now a general and heading the Resistance against the evil First Order. Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong’o) is a space pirate who offers some of the strongest Star Wars insight since Yoda. And Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) is an intimidating figure who leads a battalion of Stormtroopers.

Director J.J. Abrams got himself into a little trouble when he mentioned on Good Morning America that Star Wars was

“always a boy thing.”

“I’ve been to enough ComicCons to be well aware that Star Wars has a wonderful and enormous female fan base,” he says.

(The audience for The Force Awakens last weekend skewed heavily male: 66%, according to a Rentrak survey.) “But a lot of the approach to marketing has been to sell to boys.”

Abrams and executive producer Kathleen Kennedy were

“very upset” when they saw stores advertising only male action figures, he says. That hasn’t stopped fans from finding their favorites: DisneyStore.com quickly sold out of a Rey figure released the same day as the movie.

Phasma’s Stormtrooper-esque costume appeals to both genders, but her popularity as a character is much more tied to the idea of who she is, Christie says.

“People are embracing change,” she says. “They want to see a different kind of representation of women and of men than the ones we are used to seeing.”

Rey is the first woman to truly be at the center of a Star Wars film, following Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy and Anakin Skywalker in the prequels. Her humor, vulnerability and physical skills “will give the movie, as time goes on, an even greater appreciation from female fans,” says Rentrak senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian.

Ridley, who teases that there are many more female characters in future Star Wars movies, doesn’t see the new focus as out of the ordinary. “For me, it just feels like, of course this is how it should be,” she says. “Why wouldn’t it be like this?”

THERE’S NOT MUCH FLU GOING AROUND SO FAR — UNLIKE THE LAST THREE SEASONS, when doctors’ offices were filled with patients before Christmas and illnesses peaked by late December.

Season off to slower than usual start, may be milder

By Mike Stobbe Associated Press

This year’s flu season seems like old times.

There’s not much flu going around so far — unlike the last three seasons when doctors’ offices were filled with patients before Christmas and illnesses peaked by late December.

“It really is off to sort of a slow start” compared to that recent history, said Lynnette Brammer of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC released its weekly flu count

Friday. Only South Carolina is showing significant flu-related traffic at doctor’s offices and clinics.

Traditionally, most flu seasons don’t really get going until around Christmas — possibly triggered by holiday gatherings that bring together people and viruses. Infected kids then go back to school, mingle with classmates, and flu season takes off.

Using mathematical modeling, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory this week predicted there’s a 57 percent chance this flu season will peak in February, and a 67 percent chance it will be mild.

Experts are still puzzling about why

flu became epidemic so early the last few years. Factors might include the weather and what kind of flu bug was spreading the most, said Dr. John Treanor, a flu vaccine researcher at the University of Rochester School of Medicine.

Brammer said so far this year there’s a mix of flu viruses making people sick. In bad seasons, one nasty strain dominates.

And last year, the flu vaccine didn’t work very well for the bug that caused most of the illnesses. This year’s version was changed.

The delayed season means there’s more time for people to get vaccinated, Brammer said.

WRAP receives anonymous gift, local support to expand

By Jeff Burkhead Bert Nash Mental Health Center

During the past three years, more than 1,600 people have attended a Discover Bert Nash event — a community outreach program that highlights stories about people whose lives have been changed through services they received at the mental health center.

At each of the more than 100 Discover Bert Nash events that have been held, one of the recovery stories shared is about WRAP (Working to Recognize Alternative Possibilities), a program that places a mental health clinician in schools.

Sharing stories about people

whose lives have been changed because of Bert Nash has an impact. After every Discover event, people leave knowing more about the mental health services available to residents of Douglas County. They may even be moved to help support the work of the Center.

One such person, who chose to remain anonymous, after attending one of the Discover Bert Nash events, donated $50,000 to the Bert Nash Center. The money was earmarked for the WRAP program.

“That was gratifying to get that gift,” said Bert Nash CEO David Johnson. “We have been working to tell the story about WRAP and the importance

“In Lawrence, we’ve been out of the elementary schools since 2008. This will be an opportunity to see children in the elementary schools again, which has been a real concern.”

of providing services to kids.

The donor preferred to remain anonymous, so all we can do is assume they had connected with WRAP in some way.

We’re using the gift as a continued incentive to make sure we are telling the story about WRAP, because you never

know how it will touch people.

But I think the increased funding is a direct result of sharing our story.”

On behalf of the WRAP program and the entire Center, Johnson expressed gratitude Please see WRAP, page 2C

Make family aware of your advanced medical care directives

By Janice Early Lawrence Memorial Hospital

The holidays are often the times families come together to celebrate.

They can also be a perfect opportunity for conversations and to make your decisions known about the kinds of medical care you’d want if something happens to you and you can’t speak for yourself.

Any person 18 years of age or older can prepare an advance directive, which is a legal document that allows you to

plan and make your own medical treatment and end-of-life wishes known in the event that you are unable to communicate.

There are two main types of advance directives: l A living will tells your family and your doctor what kinds of treatment you want to receive as you near the end of your life and if you can no longer speak for yourself.

A living will is also called a treatment directive. l A durable power of attorney for health care lets you name a person to

make medical treatment decisions for you when you can’t speak for yourself. This person is called a health care agent or health care proxy.

As long as you can still make your own decisions, your advance directive won’t be used. You can stop or say no to treatment at any time.

As you prepare your advance directive, you’ll

need to follow these four important steps: 1. Get the living will and medical power of attorney forms for your state, or use a universal form that has been approved by many states. In general, doctors will respect your wishes even if you have a form from a different state.

2. Choose your health care agent. This should be a person you trust to make decisions for you.

3. Fill out the forms, and have them witnessed Please see DIRECTIVE, page 2C

Learn more For more information on advance directives, visit Kansas City’s Center for Practical Bioethics at practicalbioethics.org, the National Healthcare Decisions Day website at nhdd.org the Lawrence Area Coalition to Honor End of Life Choices (CHEC) website at lawrenceareachec.org, or the Lawrence Memorial Hospital website at lmh. org.

Wes: Here’s a simple response: It doesn’t matter when. As with most anything else, the age of your child has nothing to do with how he or she handles a new responsibility. In fact, I suspect the majority of grade schoolers would handle a smartphone more wisely than middle and high school students (sorry, teens).

Most parents know that leaving a 10- or 11-year-old home alone is less risky than leaving a teenager. On average, teens are more likely to have friends over, set up a party and sneak in dating partners, etc.

The same holds true for technology.

What’s really important when you give your child any tech item is that you sit down and lay out the “ethics manual” that goes along with it — the proper use of the technology in your child’s life and how you will reward and punish that use. If you don’t do this on day one, you’ll never get a second chance.

Here are a few guidelines to get you started, but they’re far from exhaustive: l What is the device allowed to do and what is not allowed? l What are the daily use limits in terms of time and location? l All gadgets belong to the parent, not the child.

Smartphones, tablets and computers are really super TV stations with near infinite power.

By setting up basic rules like these right from the start (preferably in writing), you won’t avoid all the kid-based mayhem that accompanies the electronic age for families, but you’ll be better able to respond when your child’s digital world goes awry.

Gabe: We can each gain immortality on the Web — which isn’t exactly a blessing. My generation will be able to look back and see our blunder years with more clarity than any that has gone before. That’s not really a problem for most content that people post.

But a large minority of these posts can come back to haunt us and they don’t even have to be publicly posted.

New advice on who qualifies for cholesterol-lowering statins

By Lauran Neergaard Associated Press

Washington — Deciding who’s a good candidate for cholesterollowering statins requires calculating more than a simple cholesterol level.

A government task force says the popular medications will be of most benefit to some people ages 40 to 75 whose risk of cardiovascular disease over the next decade

Sexting is a risky behavior on two fronts: It’s easy for others to breach your privacy and depending on what you post, it’s possible even to get you arrested.

This isn’t a surprise to any teen. We’ve heard it a million times. But in the moment, we just don’t care because of all the exciting possibilities dancing in front of us.

At this age, it’s important for us to have risk laid out for us again and again, particularly the risks of sexting.

Here are some things to know about making the statin decision.

What are statins?

Lipitor, Crestor, Zocor and other statins have been the standard treatment for lowering cholesterol for more than 20 years, working by curbing its production in the liver. Statins generally lower cholesterol levels by about 25 to 35 percent. They’ve long can’t act as much online as we can in real life, so society’s impression of us relies on our image and our words. It should be our best.

Technology ethics isn’t just a five-minute talk.

It’s something teens pick up from their surroundings — friends, school, media, and most importantly, parents. Parents can’t exactly teach good judgment, but they can model it, so never forget to act with your gadgets just as you’d have your teens act with theirs.

Doctors plug in information about the patient’s age, sex, race and other health conditions in addition to the level of LDL cholesterol.

Janice Storey, Child and Family Services director at the Bert Nash Center, is grateful for the local support that keeps the WRAP program growing, because the needs of kids are also growing.

“This really speaks to the city’s commitment to making sure the children in this area are getting their needs met,” Storey said of the city funding for the WRAP program.

“And without the partnership with the school district there would not be a WRAP program.

So this funding is really good timing and speaks to what the community is willing to do to make sure kids’ needs are met.”

“You’d like to be able to go to this person and say thank you, because we are so excited to receive this gift and we are so thankful to the donor,” Johnson said. “This gift will make a big difference in the WRAP program.”

The $50,000 donation will be used to help fund a WRAP position for the first time at Bishop Seabury Academy.

“In Lawrence, we’ve been out of the elementary schools since 2008,” Johnson said. “This will be an opportunity to see children in the elementary schools again, which has been a real concern.”

Bert Nash is working closely with the Lawrence school district to determine the placement of the additional WRAP clinicians. Currently, there is a WRAP clinician at both high schools and all four middle schools in Lawrence, as well as Bishop Seabury Academy. There is also a WRAP clinician at the Eudora Elementary School, and Bert Nash has a full-time child and family therapist in Eudora.

“It is always about

If you want to change what is in your advance directive, you can change or cancel it at any time. Fill out new forms and get rid of your existing forms and let your family, your doctor and your health care agent know about the change and give everyone an updated copy. Don’t just cross out or add new information unless it’s only to change your address or phone number.

By creating a living will or naming a durable power of attorney, you are making your preferences about medical care known before you’re faced with a serious injury or illness.

This will spare your loved ones the stress of making decisions about your care if you become sick.

Christmas gift to someone we know is walking out the door on Jan. 1? — Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck: You do not have to give your daughter-in-law the same gift you have in the past.

However, since Ms. Flighty has left before and returned, there is a good possibility she will do the same thing again. If so, will

‘Year’ takes a shallow look back Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer my year-end roundups to come after Christmas.

There’s something comforting, if not fitting, about surveying the wreckage of torn packaging under the tree while looking forward to the new year and surveying the events of the past 365 days.

But I’m not in charge of ABC News, so here comes “The Year: 2015” (8 p.m.), a twohour survey that recalls some of the year’s really big events.

They include the papal visit; the endless presidential contest and its focus on a “Celebrity Apprentice” host; last winter’s frigid conditions and the Supreme Court’s decision on marriage equality. Robin Roberts will anchor the proceedings with help from George Stephanopoulos, David Muir, Lara Spencer, Elizabeth Vargas, Amy Robach, Juju Chang, Dan Harris, Ginger Zee, Byron Pitts and Michael Strahan.

As a blend of nighttime news and morning talk-show distraction, “The Year” will put plenty of focus on ephemeral celebrity gossip. Why focus on the biggest refugee crisis since the end of World War II when you can talk about the breakups of boldfaced names including Ben and Jen and Blake and Miranda — or the sports minutiae of “Deflategate?” I had already forgotten about the Ashley Madison scandal. But the folks hosting “The Year” haven’t! And, of course, there will be much discussion of Caitlyn Jenner, an all-purpose celebrity story blending hot-button social issues and Kardashian chatter.

Remember, every time you even think about The Kardashians, an angel loses its wings. l While we’re on the subject of slightly moldy stories, “Bizarre Foods” (8 p.m., Travel, TV-PG) devotes an episode to foods that gain a certain special something with age, not to mention decay. You might want to hold off on the cookies and eggnog while watching gourmands sample 32-year-old Korean bean paste, very spoiled lamb and a cheese made from rotten potatoes. Bon appetit!

Tonight’s other highlights l Children (Henry Thomas and Drew Barrymore) befriend a lost visitor in the 1982 fantasy “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” (7 p.m., WGN). l Felt creatures deliver their lists to the North Pole in the 2008 special “A Muppets Christmas: A Letter to Santa” (7 p.m., AMC). l Manny goes the distance to make sure he’s not on the naughty list on “Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas” (7:30 p.m., Fox, TVPG), a special from 2011. l “Frontline” (9 p.m., PBS) repeats its 2013 report “League of Denial,” an in-depth report on the NFL’s handling of player concussions and long-term brain damage among former players.

your stingier gift create a problem at that time?

We suggest you talk to your son about this. Ask him how he would like you to handle the situation; then follow accordingly. Your daughter-inlaw sounds selfish. Be grateful she prefers to leave the children with their stable father.

Dear Annie: Two months ago, I became a grandmother for the first time. But I’m not allowed to see my grandchild, nor is anyone in my family. Yet my son’s father, who has not been in his life for more than 20 years, is apparently welcome to visit the baby any time.

This is causing a lot of fighting in my family. My other children are worried that I did something to upset my son and his wife. But believe me, I have done nothing to cause either

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Greene has shot to lead nation San Diego — If Brannen Greene consistently puts forth the effort in all areas that he did in Saturday’s rout of Montana, then it’s not premature to say Bill Self already has made his best move of the season by suspending Greene for six games (minus one for good behavior).

Making a start in place of late-arriving Devonté Graham, Greene did all the things coaches and NBA scouts have wanted to see out of him since falling in love-at-first- Greene sight with his drop-dead-gorgeous jump shot.

One game does not serve as proof of a permanent change, but in his third game back from the penalty imposed on Greene for flipping out over playing time, he played like somebody beginning to see the error of his past ways.

Greene not only moved aggressively without the ball, he looked as interested in preventing his man from scoring as in scoring himself.

He hustled all over the court to stay with him and alertly retreated in defensive transition. All that hustle didn’t prevent him from having the energy to shoot as he usually does from long range, which is to say superbly.

In five games, Greene has a three-point percentage of .786 (11 for 14), .833 overall (15 for 18), .889 from the line (8 for 9). Emmett Naar from St. Mary’s of California leads the nation in three-point shooting (.694). In order to qualify, a player is required to play in 75 percent of his team’s games and average at least 2.5 made threes per game.

Greene is capable of reaching those minimum requirements and leading the nation in three-point percentage.

Here’s how: defend the way he did vs. Montana so that he averages 18 minutes instead of the current 13.2. So far this season, Green has averaged a three-point field goal every six minutes on the floor. If he plays every game the rest of the way, he’ll reach the required 75 percent by the 20th game, at Iowa State on Monday, Jan. 25. It won’t require .786 or even Naar’s .694 to lead the nation. A year ago, Eastern Illinois’ Cornell Johnston led with a .519 three-point percentage.

As well as Kansas moves the ball, Greene will have no shortage of open shots, so it’s just a matter of whether he defends and rebounds well enough to earn ample minutes to put up enough shots to qualify.

With last year’s pre-holiday loss to Temple still fresh in their minds, the Jayhawks hope tonight to avoid another …

KU also won at Ohio State, 74-66, before break in 2012-13 and at Cal-Berkeley, 78-63, in 2010-11. In 2003-04, KU beat UC Santa Barbara and lost to Nevada in a four-team holiday tourney in Reno.

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

San Diego — On the third day before Christmas last season, Kansas University’s basketball team suffered a 77-52 setback to Temple in Philadelphia.

For the KU players and coaches, it left a taste as sour as rotten eggnog and was as depressing as receiving a lump of coal in one’s stocking.

“Temple was close to wrecking Christmas,” KU coach Bill Self said of KU’s second-worst loss in the 13year Self era, tying a 25-pointer to Texas in 2006.

“That’d be coming a little too strong,” noted the coach, who won’t let one hoops game ruin such a holiday.

“We haven’t historically played a great game before break.”

The Jayhawks (9-1)— who will meet San Diego State

“I think the guys will have a different approach. It won’t guarantee anything, but I think we’ll have a chance to play well,” Self said.

KU does have a reason to get extra fired-up for an Aztec team that is coming off a 52-45 home loss to Grand Canyon University on Friday. San Diego State came to Lawrence and defeated the Jayhawks, 61-57, on Jan. 5, 2014.

The Aztecs ended KU’s 68game home nonconference win streak.

“We lost, plain and simple,” said KU junior forward Wayne Selden Jr., who scored six points that day off 2-of-8 shooting. Perry Ellis was 1-of-8 from the field for four points, while Jamari Traylor had three rebounds and two points. Frank Mason III hit four of eight shots (2for-3 from three) en route to 14 points.

“We’re excited for this

game. We know what we have to do this year. It’s a new team, new year. We’re not dwelling on the past. We know what happened. We know what we want to do now,” Selden added.

KU’s Ellis said, “yes definitely,” when asked if the Jayhawks can use what happened the last time as motivation. “We just want to leave, and be able to go home (for Christmas) and be happy. You don’t want to have that little break and be upset with ourselves. We need to go compete at a high level,” Ellis said.

San Diego State has also lost to Utah (81-76), Arkansas-Little Rock (49-43), West Virginia (72-50) and San Diego (53-48). The Aztecs have beaten Illinois State (71-60), San Diego Christian (71-61), East Carolina (79-54), California (72-58), Long Beach Please see HOOPS, page 3D

KANSAS UNIVERSITY PLAYERS — INCLUDING CLIFF ALEXANDER (2), KELLY OUBRE JR. (12) AND JAMARI TRAYLOR — LEAVE THE COURT after their 77-52 loss to Temple on Dec. 22, 2014, at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

Forget playoffs; Chiefs have shot at West Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Six weeks into the season, the Kansas City Chiefs just wanted to win a game.

Six weeks later, they were beginning to think playoffs.

Now? The AFC West is a real possibility.

After dispatching injuryriddled Baltimore on Sunday for their eighth consecutive win, the Chiefs are a game back of swooning Denver.

And with games against lowly Cleveland and Oakland at Arrowhead Stadium to finish the regular season, their first division title since 2010 is within sight.

“Everybody knew what this team was capable of,”

the Broncos in Week 2, then was dismantled by Green Bay and Cincinnati.

And that lost consecutive games to Chicago and Minnesota for a 1-5 start, one that led fans and pundits to question coach Andy Reid and general manager John Dorsey.

Stafford, Detroit hold off Saints New Orleans (ap) — Matthew Stafford’s accuracy and poise sparked the Detroit Lions to a big lead and helped prevent them from squandering it, too.

Stafford passed for 254 yards and three touchdowns, and the Lions held off a late surge

by New Orleans to defeat the Saints 35-27 on Monday night.

Detroit (5-9) raced to a 28-3 lead, but Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes — one shortly after a Lions fumble — to help New Orleans (59) pull to 28-20 with about 10 minutes left.

Brees passed for 341 yards and three touchdowns, becoming only the fourth quarterback to surpass 60,000 yards in a career while also eclipsing the 4,000-yard mark for the 10th straight season. Brandin Cooks caught 10 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown.

But New Orleans’ loss guaranteed consecutive losing seasons for the first time since Sean Payton became coach in 2006.

Golden Tate caught two touchdown passes for Detroit.

The Lions’ last-ranked running game accounted for 150 yards and two TDs against New Orleans’ last-ranked run defense.

Stafford played nearly mistake-free, completing 22 of 25 passes without turning the ball over.

Still, both teams took turns making the kinds of mistakes that losing teams do, producing a close game after it initially looked as if Detroit would run away with it.

The Lions led 28-3 when Ameer Abdullah scored on a 15-yard run around the left end early in the third quarter.

New Orleans responded with Brees’ 27-yard touchdown pass to Cooks and closed the gap a little more on Kai Forbath’s short field goal after the Lions made a clutch stop on a thirdand-goal from the four.

But Abdullah fumbled on Detroit’s next play from scrimmage, and the Saints capitalized on Brees’ 11-yard scoring strike to Marques Colston.

Yet, when Detroit looked ripe to self-destruct, the Lions put together a clutch scoring drive that included Abdullah’s 27-yard run and Joique Bell’s short rushing TD. Brees’ late touchdown to Ben Watson closed the gap with 1:55 left, but New Orleans’ onside kick was recovered by Detroit.

State (76-72), Biola (7353) and Nicholls (84-47).

It should be noted four of the Aztecs’ defeats easily could have been victories. S.D. State trailed Utah by two with :27 left, was tied with Little Rock with 1:44 left, was down one to San Diego with 1:16 left and up two on Grand Canyon with 2:59 remaining.

“They are terrific defensively. They labor to score. They labored to score two years ago when they beat us,” Self said of a team that averages 65.7 points and allows 59.3 with a defensive-fieldgoal percentage of 35.5, sixth-best mark in the country.

“They lost to Grand Canyon. I don’t understand that one, but they can really guard,” Self added.

Freshman guard Jeremy Hensley averages a team-leading 13.4 ppg.

SDSU’s next four scorers average between 8.8 and 7.8 points per contest.

Senior forward Winston Shepard is at 8.8 ppg, followed by freshman Zylan Cheatham (8.5 ppg), junior guard Dakarai Allen (8.3 ppg) and sophomore guard Trey Kell (7.8 ppg).

Cheatham leads the team with a 6.2-rebound average, while Allen has 11 blocked shots and a team-high 11 steals. Kell has made a team-best 15 three-pointers, which is just ahead of Hemsley and Allen’s 13 each.

“Their defense was so good two years ago,” Self said. “They bothered us immensely with their post traps. We struggled scoring the ball the whole game. They are one of

That’s not hyperbole, either. Tyvon Branch returned a fumble 73 yards for a score against the Ravens on Sunday, while

the best defensive teams we’ll play all year.”

KU averages 90 points a game while allowing 68.3.

“I told our guys we need this. We need to go somewhere that is not a neutral site,” Self said. “I don’t know the exact details. I was told it’s one of the hottest tickets in the history of the program. It will be good for us to be tested in an environment like that.” l

S.D. State coach Steve Fisher on KU: “You can say they’re the No. 1 team in the country, and most people who watch and have seen them would not bat an eye,” Fisher told the San Diego Union-Tribune. “They’re that good … good enough to win the national championship.

“I would say they’re unselfish, but I would also say they’re quick to shoot the open shot and they make it,” Fisher added. “They make shots, so it helps with assists.

If you throw me the ball and I miss a wide-open look, there’s no assist. If it goes in, it’s an assist.

They make a lot of them.” l

This, that: Fisher is 346-190 in his 17th season at SDSU and 530-272 in his 25th season overall.

Fisher and Self are two of 11 active head coaches to win an NCAA title — Fisher while at Michigan in 1989 and Self at Kansas in 2008. ... S.D. State is preseason pick to win the Mountain West Conference. ... The Aztecs lead the all-time series, 2-1. SDSU beat KU, 81-69, on Dec. 23, 1979 in San Diego. The following season, KU defeated SDSU, 79-66, in Allen Fieldhouse ... Kansas is 25-8 against current membership of the Mountain West Conference.

Marcus Peters took an interception back 90 yards for another.

The Chiefs only allowed two touchdowns, one of those on a desperation throw before halftime.

“Our guys are playing with a lot of energy and a lot of confidence,” veteran linebacker Tamba Hali said. “We’re on a mission.

It’s been tough sledding up to this point.”

Still, the result is eight straight victories, the third-longest win streak

in franchise history, and one that has brought the Chiefs headlong into the thick of the postseason discussion.

If they win out, the Chiefs only need Denver — losers of two straight — to fall to Cincinnati or San Diego in the final two weeks. Kansas City holds the tiebreaker by virtue of its division record, so it would earn the division title over the Broncos (104) if they finish with the same record.

Then again, the Chiefs’ postseason potential may be better if they earn a wild card. They would have to play on the road, but the opponent would likely be Houston — a team they’ve already beaten — or Indianapolis, which has struggled since quarterback Andrew Luck’s injury.

By winning the division, the Chiefs would stay at home, but could face Pittsburgh again.

KANSAS-ORU WOMEN AT A GLANCE When: 7 p.m. today Where: Allen Fieldhouse Who: Oral Roberts Series: Kansas leads, 12-0

Washington State marked the second-worst shooting percentage of the season, and KU also tied a season low for assists, with eight.

Non-con finale: Tonight marks the final nonconference tune-up of the 201516 season, as the Jayhawks will have nothing but Big 12 foes on the schedule from here on out, starting with the Dec. 30 Big 12 opener at Oklahoma. Because of that, the Jayhawks are locked in on getting as much confidence as possible out of tonight’s matchup with Oral Roberts so they head into conference play feeling good about themselves.

Streaking: KU junior Caelynn Manning-Allen has reached double figures in scoring six times this season, including each of the past two games.

Manning-Allen’s 10-point, seven-rebound, three-block effort against Washington State followed up a doubledouble of 10 points and 11 rebounds in an overtime win over Navy. Those strong efforts came after her worst game of the year, a scoreless, 0-for-6 effort in a home loss to UMKC.

Free-throw woes: The Jayhawks got to the free-throw line a whopping 26 times in the loss to Washington State, but made just 15 of them for 57.7 percent. KU is shooting just 65.8 percent from the line this season (106of-161), and coach Brandon Schneider said his team’s struggles at the line are creating problems elsewhere. “I think when you don’t make shots and you don’t make free throws, it puts a lot of pressure on your defense,” Schneider said. “When you get to the free-throw line, when you get those opportunities, you’ve got to step up there and knock them down.”

Slumping: Although she reached double figures for the seventh game in a row on Sunday night, freshman guard Kylee Kopatich finished below 50 percent shooting for the third consecutive contest. Seven of her 10 points came from the free-throw line, and the Olathe product made just two of 12 shots from the floor against Washington State.

much momentum the Chiefs have these days, nobody seems to be thinking about missing the playoffs entirely.

But if they lose one of their final two games, and the Jets and Steelers win both of their remaining games, Kansas City could still sit this one out.

All those scenarios will play themselves out eventually. But the fact that Kansas City is merely contemplating a playoff future speaks to just

how far Reid’s team has come in eight weeks.

“We just put our heads down. We try to do that every week,” Reid said.

“I like the football team.

I like the makeup, even during that (losing) time. We have some character guys. It’s just winning or losing in this league is a small margin between it. I felt like we were close, but you have to do it.”

Lately, the Chiefs have been doing it well.
