ll-you-can-eat doughnuts, a pool table, free Wi-Fi and a host of other amenities all across the street from Free State High School: It sounds like a heck of a teacher’s lounge.

Or maybe it just sounds like the plans for a new Hilton hotel in Lawrence.

(That noise you heard was a teacher throwing an apple against the wall.)

Indeed, Lawrence City Hall has received a plan for a new Hilton hotel to be built in west Lawrence, but this may not be the type of Hilton you are used to. Plans call for a hotel dubbed Tru

by Hilton. (The English teacher threw another apple over that spelling.) It is a relatively new concept for Hilton. It dubs the hotel as a place where you can discover “what cost-conscious meets cool-conscious looks like.” From what I’ve seen, the brand uses quite a bit of modern design and hip phrases, like calling its lobby a “Hive.”

More on the concept in a moment, but first some basics about the project.

The hotel is slated for the vacant lot at the corner of Wakarusa Drive and Overland Drive, or, in other words, the property that is just north of the tunnel car wash business.

That puts it basically across the street from Free State. Plans call for the hotel to be four stories and include 82 guest rooms and an outdoor recreation area, which I assume will include a pool and other amenities.

The project will be part of the Bauer Farm development, and, at the moment, would be the most western hotel in the city. Bill Fleming, an attorney for the Bauer Farm development, said hotel developers became more interested in the Bauer Farm project after the Rock Chalk Park sports complex opened about one mile to the west in far northwest Lawrence.

“It is the type of activity that we thought would be spurred by Rock Chalk Park, and now we are seeing it,” Fleming said. “I think Bauer Farm is a good area for it. It has some shopping, it has the community theater, it has quite a few amenities nearby.”

The project, though, serves as a good reminder of the uphill battle developers are facing to bring commercial development to the area near Rock Chalk Park.

The property adjacent to Rock Chalk Park has been zoned for commercial development for years, but has remained vacant, even though Rock Chalk Park is attracting good crowds. It is difficult to get a business to take the risk and expense associated with being the first to locate at a site. Some people have thought a hotel would be the first to take that chance, but not yet.

The development group behind the Tru by Hilton is an Ardmore, Okla.-based company called Apollo Hospitality, according to the development plan filed at City

The five terminals between the LawrenceLecompton exit and the eastern gate near Kansas City handled nearly a third, or 12.7 million, of those vehicles.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that all of those 12.7 million vehicles were traveling between Kansas City and Lawrence, Biehler noted. Many of those vehicles were traveling to or from other locations.

But she said the stretch of the Turnpike between Kansas City and Topeka is by far the busiest stretch of the entire roadway. The report showed that well over half of all vehicles — 53.7 percent — passed through the gates at the eight interchanges along that stretch.

Hall. According to its website, it looks like the company has about five hotels in Oklahoma and Texas.

As for the concept behind a Tru by Hilton, it looks intriguing. I don’t believe that there is a Tru by Hilton in Kansas yet. I found on Hilton’s website where one is under construction near the Oklahoma City airport. No guarantees that the Lawrence one will be exactly like that one, but let’s take a look anyway.

As I mentioned earlier, the hotel calls its lobby a Hive. It features a breakfast area that includes a “topping bar” that has 30 “sweet, savory and healthy ways to sprinkle your food with personality.” The hive also includes a lounge area, a market to buy snacks and other items, and a game room, complete with a pool table.

The guest rooms are touted as having 55-inch TVs, hardwood-like floors and extra large bathrooms, among other amenities.

The proposed site for the Lawrence hotel already is zoned commercial. The project just

according to the report, is the 14-mile stretch between the east Topeka and Lecompton interchanges, where more than 21,000 vehicles pass in each direction on an average day.

The next busiest is the eight-mile stretch between the east Lawrence exit and the Tonganoxie-Eudora interchange, which handles nearly 19,000 vehicles in each direction on a daily basis.

Under the Turnpike’s current toll structure, a passenger vehicle pays $2.50 to travel between the Tonganoxie interchange and the eastern terminal near Kansas City. The toll is $3 between the eastern terminal and the east Topeka exit.

With completion of the SLT, however, someone traveling from west Lawrence to Overland Park can shave several miles off the trip and pay no toll. And a person driving from Topeka to Overland

a sign of a major change to come in the offerings and concept behind the hotel’s Ten restaurant.

I’ll let you know when I hear more.

Add one more hotel project to the mix. I’m still gathering some details, but a plan has been filed to build a large outdoor seating area in the vacant lot next to the Eldridge Hotel in downtown Lawrence.

Over the years, the Eldridge has proposed to add rooms and amenities by undertaking a multimillion dollar expansion into the vacant lot, which is just south of the hotel.

But those plans have not gotten off the ground.

Now, Lawrence-based architect Paul Werner has filed plans for a more modest expansion. This one calls for about a 2,700 square foot addition that would house an enlarged kitchen for the hotel’s restaurant, plus an area to house a number of outdoor dining tables that would have a view for people watching along Massachusetts Street.

If I’m reading the plans correctly, it looks like there would be space for about 20 outdoor tables, which probably would make it the largest outdoor dining area in downtown. It looks like the area also would have some nice landscaping.

I’ll work to get some more details from Werner and Eldridge officials after the holidays and pass them along. It will be interesting to see if the expanded kitchen is

Park can also shave off miles and pay only $1 in toll to get off the Turnpike at Lecompton instead of paying $3 to go all the way to the eastern terminal and then using K-7 or Interstate 435 to head south to Johnson County.

The annual report does not break down how much revenue is collected at each toll gate, but for the year, the Turnpike generated just under $108.5 million in tolls, an 8 percent increase over the previous year.

KTA also generated $5.5 million in concessionaire rentals, primarily from the restaurants, convenience stores and fuel pumps at service areas along the Turnpike. The Lawrence service area was the second-busiest of the six facilities along the route, with 13.8 million vehicles passing through it, generating $4 million in gross restaurant sales and selling 7.9 million gallons of motor fuel.

Topeka was the busiest service area, with 15.4 million vehicles passing through it, generating $4.7 million in restaurant sales and 7.9 million gallons of motor fuel sales.

The report also notes that passenger cars account for nearly 89 percent of all the traffic on the Turnpike, with commercial vehicles, including tractor trailers, making up the rest. But commercial vehicles account for more than a third — $37.3 million — of all the toll revenue.

Biehler said tolls are based on the number of axles on a vehicle, not on the weight of the vehicle.

A passenger car with two axles pays $2.50 to travel from the Tonganoxie exit to the eastern terminal, while a singlecontainer tractor trailer with five axles pays $7.50.

If the rates were based on weight, however, the difference would be much greater.

The average passenger vehicle on the road to- TUESDAY’S MEGA MILLIONS 1 12 14 48 65 (2) day weighs about 4,000 WEDNESDAY’S pounds, or one ton per HOT LOTTO SIZZLER axle, according to EPA 19 26 30 40 43 (9) figures.

needs to receive final development plan approval from City Hall, which usually is just a technical approval related to site layout and such. No official word on a timeline for the project, but I would suspect construction wouldn’t begin until spring, at the earliest.

If the project does move forward, it would be just the latest news in Lawrence hotel development.

As we have reported, Country Inn & Suites plans to build an 89-room extended stay hotel on the property previously occupied by Don’s Steakhouse near 23rd and O’Connell in eastern Lawrence. I also continue to hear that Candlewood Suites continues to be interested in building a hotel in Lawrence, perhaps near the Sixth and Iowa site that previously housed the Ramada Inn. lll

I also don’t have many details on this at the moment, but couldn’t let it sit through the holidays. A development permit filed at City Hall indicates a new doughnut place is coming to downtown. A sign permit has been filed for a business called Wake the Dead Donuts. It would be located at 918 Massachusetts St., which formerly housed Burger-Fi. A doughnut shop is plenty intriguing, but a picture of the proposed sign took intrigue to a whole new level. The sign lists that the business will serve chicken, doughnuts and whiskey.

Trust me, I’m working to get more details on this one. If need be, I’ll even experiment with the concept myself.

The 2013 law allows concealed guns in public buildings unless they have adequate security measures, such as metal detectors or security guards. Those measures are costly, so concealed guns would be allowed in nearly all campus buildings, including at sporting events.

Faculty and student organizations on university campuses generally have been strongly opposed to concealed guns on campus, as have administrators. Earlier this month, elected representatives of faculty, staff and students at the

University of Kansas adopted resolutions opposing the campus concealed carry law.

Joe Harrington, an English professor who is president of the University Senate at the school, called Brownback’s comments “disappointing.”

“Obviously, this is something that people at the local level, at the campus level, don’t want and that’s being imposed upon us by the state,” Harrington said.

Brownback is a conservative Republican who’s repeatedly backed policies favored by the National Rifle Association and other gun-rights groups, including a 2015 law that allows adults to carry concealed weapons without a state permit or mandatory training.

“I’m not rethinking my support for the Second Amendment,” Brownback said, referring to the U.S. Constitution.

Subcontractor files ninth lien on HERE apartment complex

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

The list of construction companies alleging they haven’t been fully paid for their work on the multimillion dollar, citysubsidized HERE apartment complex is growing, and it now appears the project’s main contractor may soon join the list.

An Overland Park remodeling company on Monday joined the ranks of local contractors claiming they’re owed money for the work they’ve done at the complex.

Acuity Renovation Concepts filed the ninth mechanic’s lien in Douglas County District Court claiming the HERE apartment complex owes it $20,632 from a

Project’s general contractor indicates it may follow suit $91,457 contract at the property.

Seven other companies have filed similar actions in district court. In all, the companies claim they are owed more than $665,000 for work at the site.

Acuity Renovation Concepts’ newly filed lien brings that total to more than $685,000.

Many of the liens list Stevens Construction, of Madison, Wis., as the project’s general contractor that failed to pay its bills.

However, now it appears Stevens Construction may soon argue it has not been paid in full by the complex’s owners.

On Friday, Stevens Construction filed for an extension, which allows the company an additional five months to file a mechanic’s lien for its work on the property.

A mechanic’s lien is meant to protect a person or company who has invested time, labor or materials in a property, for which they have not been paid. Once a lien is filed, the claimant may then petition to foreclose on the lien, encumbering the property.

As of Wednesday morning, only RealState Investments LLC and Rew Materials, claiming they’re owed $169,115 and $150,258,

respectively, have filed petitions to foreclose on their liens.

Previously, John Kitson, vice president of construction management for CA Student Living, the developer for HERE Lawrence, said in a written statement the company is working with Stevens Construction and the other subcontractors to “come to an amicable resolution” and “hope(s) to see all outstanding matters resolved in the coming weeks.”

Lawrence City Commissioners Leslie Soden and Lisa Larsen both called the mechanic’s liens concerning.

No TV broadcast of State of the State Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback’s office announced this week that he will deliver his State of the State address at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 10.

If you think about that for a moment, you’ll notice the time is when most TV and radio stations are carrying their evening news programs.

And for people who work regular 9-5 jobs, it starts before they even get home.

But Brownback said that’s not because he’s trying to make it inconvenient for broadcasters.

It’s just that broadcasters have lost interest in carrying it.

“I think the only one

make it as convenient for legislators as possible because they all have a lot of evening activities,” Brownback said.

The State of the State address is traditionally one of the most important speeches any governor gives during the year. It marks the opening of a new legislative session, and an opportunity for the governor to lay out his or her legislative and budget priorities.

For many years, KPTS-TV, the public television station in Wichita, produced a show for the State of the State address that included live broadcast

of the speech itself, and post-speech interviews with lawmakers and other people. Their video feed of the speech was also made available for free to commercial broadcasters, and the audio was available to any radio station that wanted it.

And it wasn’t unusual on State-of-the-State night to see a line of satellite trucks from Kansas City, Wichita and Topeka TV stations parked on the Statehouse grounds, or on 10th Street south of the building, so they could take the video feed and relay it back to their stations.

Other key county players in the effort were change manager Amy Barnes, who is also the computer trainer and software specialist with Douglas County Information Technology, as well as steering committee members Paula Gilchrist, who is county treasurer, Information Technology Director Jim Lawson, Plinsky and County Clerk Jamie Shew.

Penrod said other advantages of the new system include:

l Universal use of purchase orders for departments and accounts receivable, allowing a more complete and up-to-date picture of county finances. l Storage in the system of all county spending approvals and authorizations. l Consolidation of payroll and human resources on the county’s financial software system. l Reduced paperwork through the electronic storage of financial, human resource and payroll documents.

— County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166.

The project is receiving several incentives from the city and other local governments, including an 85 percent, 10-year tax rebate.

And although City Attorney Toni Wheeler said the city’s agreements with the developers don’t address the group’s relationships with contractors, subcontractors or any possible liens, Larsen said future agreements could include language to help avoid similar situations.

Wanted: Accountants The lack of legal expertise in the Kansas Senate is concerning, but more concerning is the lack of financial know-how.

F

or the first time since Kansas became a state in 1861, the state Senate will not have a practicing attorney among its members in 2017.

The lack of a lawyer has caused a ripple of concern among lawmakers. State Sen. David Haley, a Kansas City Democrat, will be the only member of the Kansas Senate with a law degree when the session gets underway. But Haley allowed his law license to lapse more than 20 years ago and is not a practicing attorney.

“As many people realize, Kansas has never had this happen before,” Haley said.

“There’s always been a practicing attorney or licensed attorney.”

The National Conference of State Legislatures said attorneys made up only 10 percent of the total Kansas Legislature for the past two sessions. Most of those attorneys served in the House, while there were only two practicing attorneys in the Senate: Sen. Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson, and Sen. Jeff King, R-Independence. Bruce was defeated in the August primaries and King decided not to seek re-election.

The concern is that attorneys are vital to the Senate’s essential function of writing and amending laws. And it’s hard to imagine a Judiciary Committee without an attorney as chairman, much less a Judiciary Committee without an attorney as a member.

“I believe that lawmakers should have some framework or concept in certain areas, like the judiciary committees, and the theory and practice of law,” Haley said.

“I’m glad to be legally trained and to have had those experiences and that ability, but as a nonpractitioner, and yet a lawyer, I feel we’ve reached a low-water mark on that committee, and in the Senate.”

King said the low pay that legislators receive — about $21,000 per year including per diem — and longer legislative session make attorneys reluctant to serve.

But it would be hard to argue the presence of attorneys in the Legislature has made a significant difference in recent sessions. Attorneys didn’t do much to fix the tax policies that blew a hole in the Kansas budget. Attorneys couldn’t guide lawmakers to come up with an adequate school funding plan.

The immediate priority for lawmakers in the 2017 session is dealing with a $350 million hole in the state budget. Next up will be fixing a $500 million revenue shortfall projected for the 2018 fiscal year, which begins July 1. Rather than being worried about the lack of attorneys, perhaps the greater concern is that the Senate doesn’t have a practicing accountant among its members.

Pursuing peace with technology “To change anything in the Navy is like punching a feather bed. You punch it with your right and you punch it with your left until you are finally exhausted, and then you find the damn bed just as it was before you started punching.”

— Franklin Roosevelt, 1940

San Diego — What the former assistant secretary of the Navy said is descriptive of the entire military.

Each service’s culture, and interservice rivalries, and bureaucratic viscosity are resistant to reform. Which is why the next secretary of defense, retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis, has the most difficult management challenge in American government.

He comes from a service whose core mission, smallunit combat, involves conflict at its most granular. He will now rely on companies like General Atomics here, whose business is leveraging technology to produce maximum potential military lethality with minimal costs.

The president-elect ardently advocated substantially increased defense spending, and just as ardently favors unrestrained entitlement spending. For about $500,000 in expenditures, the 9/11 attackers did over $2 trillion in damage to the United States and the world economy. The linked physical and cyber infrastructures of complex societies are vulnerable to such asymmetries. General Atomics’ scientists toil to redress this imbalance with, for example, the Predator and other remotely piloted

“

New technologies, however, can revolutionize defense against ballistic missiles because small, smart projectiles can be inexpensive.” aircraft (RPAs).

But they bristle at the word “drone,” which they think falsely suggests mindlessness on the part of aircraft that perform three “ISR” missions — intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance. RPAs can hover for 40 hours over a Middle East target and deliver, with Hellfire missiles, a munitions payload equal to an F-16’s. The “fast movers” — F-16s and the like — must refuel coming and going from the Gulf, and most have returned to their carriers without expending their ordnance. A Reaper, another type of RPA, can deliver what an F-35, the most expensive fighter aircraft, can. The Reaper is only half as fast, but is speed — aviation’s expensive goal since World War II — so important? An increasing amount of the Reaper’s and the F-35’s work, including sensing and jamming, is done at

the speed of light, which is roughly 560,000 times faster than the F-35’s airspeed.

RPAs, which have logged more than 4 million flight hours looking, listening and attacking, can discover what the enemy is planning and doing, and can deliver precision strikes with minimal collateral damage. They could have been an inexpensive and low-risk way of intervening in Syria by enforcing a no-fly, no-movement zone that would have protected President Bashar Assad’s enemies and victims.

But because RPAs are unmanned, they clash with important components of the military culture. Marine jets from Miramar Air Station roar over General Atomics, making what has been called “the sound of freedom,” but some scientists here call it the sound of obsolescence.

The Navy is using highpowered electro-magnetic energy to replace steam catapults to launch 80,000-pound aircraft off carriers with less stress on the planes, and hence less maintenance expenses. Now the Navy is acquiring rail guns that use such energy to fire 15-to-25-pound, 18-inch projectiles at 5,000 miles per hour. They hit with the impact of a train slamming into a wall at 100 miles per hour. The high-speed, hence high-energy projectiles, which cost just $25,000, can radically improve fleet-protection capabilities: A barrage of them could counter an enemy’s more expensive anti-ship missiles.

The daunting challenge

posed by defense against the proliferating threat of ballistic missiles is that it is prohibitively expensive to be prepared to intercept a swarm of incoming missiles.

New technologies, however, can revolutionize defense against ballistic missiles because small, smart projectiles can be inexpensive.

It takes 300 seconds to pick up such a launched missile’s signature, the missile must be tracked, and a vector calculated for defensive projectiles. A single 25-pound projectile can dispense over 500 three-gram tungsten impactors and be fired at hypervelocity by electromagnetic energy. Their impact force — their mass times the square of their velocity — can destroy expensive missiles and multiple warheads.

Mattis will be trying to take control of the often uncontrollable Pentagon, with its interservice rivalries and intricate problems of matching slowly developed weapons to rapidly metastasizing threats. The good news, such as it is, is this: The nation just experienced a raucous presidential campaign during which there was silence about the crisis of the entitlement state — an aging population’s pension and health care entitlements swallowing government resources, with alarming national security implications. But technology, pursued determinedly, has the potential to make peace through making deterrent strength less expensive.

Trump’s stance on Russia cause for concern Explanations for Donald Trump’s election victory have proliferated almost as much in recent weeks as the president-elect’s tweets.

It’s an insoluble debate, deciding which factor was most crucial: Trump’s promise of sweeping change; Hillary Clinton’s weakness as a candidate, her email server or her campaign’s blue state political malpractice; the mistaken intrusions of FBI Chief James Comey; damage from Bernie Sanders’ exaggerated primary criticisms; or apparent Russian efforts to help Trump.

The likeliest answer is that all contributed to the unexpected outcome, which hinged on Trump’s victory in three Rust Belt states by less than 80,000 votes.

In any case, the election’s unfortunate fallout is becoming increasingly evident, such as Trump’s decision to install domestic Cabinet chiefs who support policies that would weaken federal protections for many Americans.

Even more serious perhaps is the growing evidence Trump would abandon 70 years of U.S.-led Western firmness against Soviet and Russian expansionism by seeking friendlier relations with President Vladimir Putin, whose aggressive policies represent one of the greatest threats to European stability.

From picking top aides with long-standing ties to the autocratic Russian leader to dismissing the increasing evidence Putin’s agents sought to manipulate the 2016 U.S. election, Trump is pushing ahead with his unproven belief that a friendlier approach will somehow benefit the United States. (It may benefit business interests whose pro-

Trump lobbyists are already at work in Moscow.)

Unlike the sharply conservative tone of the heretofore politically androgynous Trump’s domestic appointments, his pro-Putin thrust should come as no surprise.

Throughout the campaign, Trump made it clear he favors closer ties with Russia, and he mocked suggestions it sought to influence the outcome.

He called Putin “a better leader” than Barack Obama.

He gave misleading answers about their relationship, at one point telling George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week,” “I’ve no relationship with Putin. I’ve never met him.” But in a 2014 Fox News interview, he said, “When I went to Russia with the Miss Universe pageant, he contacted me and was so nice.”

Trump said he had no financial dealings with Russia other than running the 2008 Miss Universe pageant there.

But the website eturbonews. com quoted Donald Trump Jr. telling a 2008 real estate conference: “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.” In a detailed article, Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo suggested Trump is “highly reli-

ant on money from Russia” to finance his debts — something that could be checked if Trump followed past practice and released his tax returns.

Whether Trump was motivated by his finances or wishful thinking, there was little doubt before intelligence agencies confirmed Russian efforts that Putin favored Trump’s election. His antagonism toward Clinton seems to stem mainly from her December 2011 statement expressing “serious concern” about the fairness of Russian parliamentary elections and calling for a “full investigation” of irregularities.

In other words, Putin objected to the fact that, as secretary of state, Clinton properly decried his increasingly anti-democratic tendencies, a stance the United States has traditionally taken around the world. Now, Russian leaders reportedly are delighted with Trump’s election, believing the United States will be more interested in financial dealing than in opposing Russian expansionism and autocracy.

Still, whatever Putin’s motives, it’s far worse that he tried actively to interfere in our election, probably to help elect Trump. That’s why leading Republicans such as Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham joined

top Democrats in bipartisan calls to investigate.

Even some lawmakers who don’t acknowledge Putin sought to help Trump understand his ultimate goal is to destabilize the Western alliance that has kept European peace since World War II and remains a vital barrier to renewed Russian expansionism. Trump may face considerable resistance if he tries to ease economic sanctions on Russia.

Meanwhile, he should join demands to determine what happened in the campaign, rather than continually cozying up to the country Mitt Romney in 2012 called America’s “No. 1 geopolitical foe.” That would require the transition he has yet to make from Republican candidate to president of all Americans.

Whatever Trump says or does, this issue will be front and center when Secretary of State-designate Rex Tillerson testifies before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which must approve his nomination. Even senators inclined to back the oil mogul will want to know if Trump’s administration will take the realistic stance toward Russia that has been lacking in his campaign and post-campaign pronouncements.

Lempa has been heartened to see so many in the community pledge their support. Early commitments by Lempa and his fellow East Lawrence residents to schools (among them New York Elementary School and Liberty Memorial Central Middle School) in early December have since led to an expanded effort that includes all 20 brickand-mortar schools in the Lawrence district.

Within 10 days of the first posting about the project on Facebook, four schools had received funding. As of Wednesday evening, all 20 schools have had their debts completely paid off or were on track to, at least. At that time, nearly $3,800 of the total $4,108.29 owed had been paid.

Sunflower Elementary is one of those schools, and is slated to receive a $435 check today from Lempa and his fellow donors, who he describes

Last year, though, KPTS canceled its broadcast because it lost a major underwriter for the program. To fill in the gap, Kansas Public Radio, based at the University of Kansas, brought in equipment so it could carry the live audio, which it also made available to other broadcasters.

This year, though, even KPR is rethinking its strategy, mainly because the 5 p.m. start time conflicts with the

as “just some people who wanted to do something good.” Diacon said one of his cafeteria staffers nearly cried when he told her the news Tuesday.

School staffers do as much as they can to support struggling families on a case-by-case basis, Diacon said, and kids, no matter their parents’ outstanding debts, are never denied meals at school. Still, he says, “it’s a burden on the district,” and every little bit helps.

Especially now, with Christmas just days away.

“Any time of the year would be great, but at this time of the year, for some of our families, that will make a huge difference,” Diacon said. “It’s one less thing they have to worry about.”

Lempa isn’t sure if he and others will be able to pay off lunch debts at all

20 Lawrence schools by Christmas, but expects it to happen sooner rather than later. In the meantime, he remains touched by the outpouring of support from neighbors and community members.

The best part, he said, is the spontaneity of it all — and the fact that strangers joined forces over a simple Facebook post to help out fellow residents.

“It just went to show that a lot of people are on the same page, and when you start talking to people and sharing what you’re doing, you’ll find that a lot of people are willing to work together toward what see they as a common good,” Lempa said. “Which makes me wonder, then, what else can we do?”

highly popular NPR news program “All Things Considered.”

KPR news director J. Schafer said Tuesday that the station still plans to carry the speech, but officials there haven’t yet decided exactly how or when it will be broadcast.

One possibility, he said, would be to carry the speech live on its sister station, KPR-2, a separate programming stream designed for high-definition digital receivers, which very few people have. It is also available online.

And in Lawrence, it’s available over the air with a standard radio on

KPR’s new, additional station at 96.1 FM. It would then be rebroadcast on KPR’s regular signal, 91.5 FM, at 6 p.m., after All Things Considered.

That would mean for the vast majority of people in Kansas, the only way to see or hear the speech live will be to find an online source that will be live-streaming the event.

The Journal-World hopes to provide a list of those live streams when it becomes available.

Americans say Trump hasn’t done much to seal national divide or prove himself to opponents Susan Page l @susanpage l USA TODAY As Inauguration Day approaches, Donald Trump has made little progress in uniting a divided nation or reassuring the voters who didn’t support him in November, a USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds.

Instead, a majority of Americans, including one in five Trump voters, say the president-elect hasn’t done enough to prevent conflicts between his business interests and the nation’s interests. By nearly 2-1, those surveyed say the incoming administration should investigate whether Russia tried to meddle in the American election, a conclusion by U.S. intelligence agencies that Trump initially dismissed.

“Obviously, he’s going to be the president, and we have to give him a chance,” Kathleen Hoynes, 56, of Upper Gwynedd, Pa., says in a follow-up phone interview after being polled.

She didn’t support Trump during the campaign, first backing Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries, then voting for Hillary Clinton on Election Day. “I’m willing to do that, but he’s going to have to prove to a lot of us that he can do the job.”

Nearly four in 10 — 38% — say they feel “alarmed” by the WASHINGTON

prospect of Trump moving into the Oval Office next month. An equal 38% say they feel “hopeful,” and 16% are “excited.”

At least almost no one is “bored”: only 4%.

The poll of 1,000 registered voters, taken Dec. 14-18, has a margin of error of +/-3 percentage points.

Trump has seen his favorable-unfavorable ratings improve since the election, from a dismal 31%-61% in the USA TODAY/Suffolk Poll in late October to 41%-46%. That said, he still significantly trails previous presidents-elect in the modern era. During a post-election honeymoon, they have been viewed favorably even by some of those who supported their opponents.

Trump’s standing continues to lag even the 46.1% proportion of the vote he carried. In the new survey, 5% of those who supported him have an unfavorable opinion, and 11% are undecided.

Americans split on how he’s handled the transition: 41% approve, 40% disapprove.

said the service is critically short of personnel and needs to expand by more than 30,000 active-duty service members to meet its security obligations, including an air war against Islamic State militants.

“We just got too small too fast, and we’ve got to grow,” Gen. David Goldfein, the Air Force chief of staff, told USA TODAY in an interview Wednesday. “We’re at a risk level I’m not comfortable with.”

Goldfein, who was completing a five-day tour of air bases around the country, said the trip reinforced his concerns that the service is stretched thin. “The shortage of people has fundamentally changed the way we do business,” he said.

“To most of the American people, they still think they have the Air Force of Desert Storm (the Persian Gulf War of 199091), and we’re not even close.”

President-elect Donald Trump, who promised to rebuild the military, will probably face an array of requests from the services, which have lobbied for more troops and weapons in years past but have had to preside over smaller forces recently because of budget pressures despite a resurgence of threats, particularly in the Middle East.

Goldfein said he will recommend expanding the size of the active-duty Air Force from about 317,000 to 350,000. It would probably take five or six v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Sound it out: The frequently flubbed words of 2016 Mary Bowerman

USA TODAY Network

While trying to decipher whether President-elect Donald Trump was saying bigly or big league, we mispronounced a few words of our own this year.

Global language-learning app Babbel commissioned U.S. Captioning to identify the most mispronounced words of 2016. U.S. Captioning, which subtitles live events, surveyed its members to identify words and names most commonly mispronounced. Here they are, with phonetic pronun-

ciations by Babbel’s director of didactics Miriam Plieninger: uBowie (boh-ee) — David Bowie died in January, and as people lamented his passing, they may have botched his last name. uBreitbart (breyt-bart) — Shortly after the election, Trump announced Stephen Bannon would be his chief strategist in the White House. Bannon was head of Breitbart News, a conservative news outlet he dubbed “the platform for the alt-right.” uCisgender (sizz-gendehr) — A term for people who have a gender identity that aligns with the sex they were born with. uHygge (HUE-gah) — The

Danish term is defined as “quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being,” according to Oxford Dictionaries.

The trend rose to popularity this year as many tried to embrace enjoyment and positivity by taking a page from the Danes. uMarion Cotillard (kohtee-yar) — A French actress who had roles in Allied and Assassin’s Creed. She was thrown into the Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt divorce drama after tabloids reported she had an affair with her co-star. uNarcos (nark-ohs) — The title of the Netflix show stems from the Spanish word “nar-

cotraficante,” which means drug trafficker. uNomophobia (noh-mohpho-bee-ah) — A fear of being without your cellphone. Sound familiar? uQuinoa (kee-NOH-ah or kee-NOO-ah) — A healthy grain product that no one can agree on how to pronounce. uRattata (RAT-ah-tah) — A fictional character from augmented reality app Pokémon Go. uRoald Dahl (rohld daal) —A deceased English author who entertained children (and adults) with classics such as Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach.

He would have been 100 in September. Though Dahl died in 1990, his legacy lives on in his books and the many film, television and theater adaptations of them. uXenophobia (zen-ohphoh-bee-ah) — A “fear or hatred of foreigners, people from different cultures or strangers,” according to Dictionary.com, which dubbed it the word of the year. uZika (zee-kuh) — A virus transferable by mosquitoes that can cause devastating birth defects.

Dems have a front-runner for 2020 race ‘Someone entirely new’ leads the pack of hopefuls in poll Susan Page

@susanpage USA TODAY

WASHINGTON On the theory that it’s never too early to launch the next campaign, the new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll has identified an overwhelming front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.

It’s someone entirely new.

Literally. Not an identifiable person. Just “someone entirely new.”

When that description was included on a list of possible contenders, 66% of Democrats and independents said they would be “excited” to see such a person jump into the race; just 9% thought he or she shouldn’t run. That’s an overwhelming yes-please-run score of 57 percentage points for, you know, whomever.

Compare that with the downbeat sentiment toward the party’s 2016 nominee, former secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Even though she won the popular vote — to be sure, Republican Donald Trump on Monday carried the count that mattered, in the Electoral College — just 23% were excited about the prospect of her running again; 62% said they would prefer she not.

That’s a please-don’t-run score of 39 points.

The nationwide poll of 626 registered voters who identified themselves as Democrats

or independents, taken Wednesday through Sunday, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 points.

The actual person on the list who fared best was Vice President Biden.

Forty-three percent would be excited by his decision to run, apparently undeterred by the fact that he’d be 78 years old on Inauguration Day 2021, and 31% would prefer he not run. That’s a net positive score of 12 points.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who gave Clinton a run for her money in the Democratic primaries this year, has a positive score of 6 points — that is, 44% “excited” minus 38% who don’t want him to run.

And Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who decided against a bid in 2016, fares a stitch better, with a positive score of 7 points: 34% would be excited by her campaign; 27% hope she doesn’t try it.

Former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick, the other name included on the list, gets a negative score of 5 points, but that’s in part because a 53% majority have never heard of him.

Of those who have, 10% would be excited; 15% against the idea.

There is one Democrat who swamps the others in generating support.

In response to a separate question, Democrats by 61%32% said Michelle Obama should run for some sort of elective office in the future.

The only problem: She’s made it clear she won’t.

“It’s not something I would do,” she said flatly in an interview with Oprah Winfrey released Tuesday. Period.

MICHAEL REYNOLDS, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Joe Biden, with Hillary Clinton, is the choice of 43% of Democrats and independents polled to run in 2020.

Donald Trump addresses the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington in March. Some Americans worry about what Trump might do in delicate diplomatic situations.

Jobs, not wall, top concern v CONTINUED FROM 1B

consistently was underestimated by the pundits and the political establishment. “It was annoying when people had to hide the fact that they did vote for Trump,” says David Ockrim, 30, who helps operate a small food-truck company in New York City called Yankee Doodle Dandy. “While he may not be the most polished or political-like, I think he’s a breath of fresh air America needed.”

Among Trump supporters, four in 10 predict history ultimately will judge Trump to be a “great” president. A third say he’ll end up being a “good” one. Almost half of Democrats say Trump will end up being seen as a “failed” president.

“I feel dread,” says Megan Glidewell, 37, a college counselor from Waconia, Minn., who voted for Clinton. She chokes up when she remembers how excited her mother, who died of cancer in September, had been by the idea of a woman being elected president. Since Trump won, Glidewell has adopted “an ostrich approach,” deliberately paying less attention to the news because she finds it upsetting.

“The politics aside, I can’t get past the ego; I can’t get past the things he said about women; I can’t get past just the kind of campaign he ran that created so much division,” she says of Trump. “I imagine on top of all that, Trump sitting and talking to other world leaders and being in delicate diplomatic situations. I don’t think he has the capacity of behaving. For better or worse, we’re all going to find out.”

Americans are clear on what they want Trump to address first: jobs. Close to half, 46%, say creating and preserving jobs should be his first priority. That’s triple the

second-ranking issue, fighting terrorism and the self-proclaimed Islamic State. At third is changing the way Washington works by “draining the swamp.”

Low on the list are the crusades that fueled the loudest chants at Trump’s campaign rallies. “Build the wall”? Only 7% say building a wall along the Southern border and deporting undocumented immigrants should be his top concern. “Lock her up”? A minuscule 1% say investigating Hillary Clinton should be his No. 1 issue.

Trump’s supporters are willing to cut him some slack on his campaign promises, which could give him the political space to strike

“I would love for him to get out and set his generals loose and take care of ISIS. But our people are starving here, so I think ... first, jobs within the United States and second, ISIS.” Stephen Spence, 69, from Mesa, Ariz.

compromises with Congress and others. Half of those who voted for Trump say he should do what needs to be done even if it means reversing positions he advocated.

Thirty-nine percent say he should closely follow the policies and promises he made during the campaign.

“I would love for him to get out and set his generals loose and take care of ISIS,” says Stephen Spence, 69, a retiree from Mesa,

Ariz., who voted for Trump. “But our people are starving here, so I think ... first, jobs within the United States and second, ISIS, and third, probably, the budget deficit.

That’s my top three.”

There are some other issues pressing on Trump’s agenda. uBy 53%-35%, a majority of Americans say he needs to do more to address conflicts between his business interests and the country’s interest. That includes 19% of Trump voters. “He can’t have his children take over for him,” Hoynes protests. “He can’t run the country like he runs a business.” uBy 62%-33%, those surveyed say the Trump administration and Congress should investigate whether Russia tried to meddle in the presidential election. Trump voters, by 48%-47%, support an investigation. “I don’t really understand why Russia would have such a vested interest in nudging the election in that particular direction,” Glidewell says. “That’s the part that concerns me the most.”

Some Trump supporters are skeptical about what Russia did and how much it mattered. “It may have gotten misconstrued,” suggests Jason Felts, 43, of Galax, Va. “My opinion is that it’s just been blown out of proportion.”

In the survey, nearly six in 10 say divisions in the USA are deeper than they’ve been in the past. “”In my opinion, unless the country gets back together, things just can’t work the way they should,” says Queen Jones, 73, a retired teacher’s assistant from Mount Pleasant, N.C., who voted for Clinton. “For me, I feel like his first priority is to try to get the country back together, try to heal some of the wounds.” At the moment, she frets, “it’s like we’re in two different countries.”

Constant crises strain reduced Air Force v CONTINUED FROM 1B

years to reach the higher level.

Under current plans, the Air Force planned to grow to 321,000.

It was not immediately clear what impact the expansion might have on the service’s $120.4 billion budget.

The U.S. military withdrew from Iraq in 2011 and has reduced the size of its force in Afghanistan to less than 10,000.

In 2014, the Islamic State swept into Iraq and other parts of the Middle East, prompting the Obama administration to deploy roughly 5,000 troops in Iraq and begin a bombing campaign over Iraq and Syria. U.S. aircraft have dropped thousands of munitions targeting the Islamic State in both countries.

The Air Force ferries tons of weapons and ammunition to Iraqi forces battling the Islamic State and has air-dropped supplies to a rebel force marching on Raqqa, the Islamic State’s de facto capital in Syria.

It is also responding to other global crises.

“It seems like every two weeks, we’re responding to a crisis or event around the globe,” said Gen. Carlton Everhart, commander of the Air Mobility Command at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois.

Russia and China are emerging as potential threats that could challenge the U.S. military in ways the Islamic State has not.

SENIOR AIRMAN ELIZABETH BAKER, U.S. AIR FORCE

C-130H Hercules personnel, assigned to the 374th Maintenance Group, prepare an aircraft for takeoff during Operation Christmas Drop 2016 at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, on Dec. 7.

China is expanding its presence in the South China Sea, and Russia has become a major player in Syria’s civil war, siding with the regime of President Bashar Assad.

The U.S. Air Force has rarely been challenged in the skies during its campaign against the Islamic State. That could change if the United States were to face an-

other nation’s military capable of rivaling the U.S. military’s technological advantages.

This week, Goldfein spent a night with a crew in an underground nuclear control facility in a remote windswept corner of Nebraska.

Airmen guard the facility round the clock, and a pair of young officers sit at the controls

that would launch nuclear-tipped Minuteman III missiles from nearby silos if the president ordered strikes.

At Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado, he spoke to airmen manning 24/7 operation centers where the service controls satellites that provide GPS and communication coverage around the world.

Dow suffering from ‘rusty door’ syndrome Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

The Dow Jones industrial average is turning into a tease.

A flirt.

A stock index that keeps saying to the world, “Look at me, I’m going to make history by surpassing the biggest Wall Street milestone of them all, Dow 20,000.”

There’s just one problem. The Dow keeps knocking at the door to 20,000 but can’t quite get through it. Wednesday, it got as close as 13 points. And last Thursday it got within 14 points of making history. But it couldn’t close the deal and get over the hump.

The Dow is suffering from an affliction known as “rusty door” syndrome, which occurs near big milestones.

“With the Dow flirting with the 20,000 level, we are reminded that millennium and century marks on major stock indices have traditionally acted like ‘rusty doors,’ requiring several attempts before finally swinging open,” Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA, noted in a report.

“Therefore, it should come as no surprise if stocks take a breather to digest recent gains.”

Stovall says investors could sell after Jan. 1, 2017, as tax rates on capital gains might be lower under Donald Trump’s incoming administration.

Still, Stovall says any market pullback will be just a pause, noting that the S&P 500 stock index is up just 6.3% from its July 11 post-correction recovery high, vs. an average gain of 9.5% after getting to break-even from corrections since 1945.

Brazilian firms to pay $3.5B to settle bribery scheme Officials say penalties could hit record $4.5B Ledyard King @LedgeKing USA TODAY

The U.S. Justice Department said two Brazilian companies have agreed to pay the U.S., Brazil and Switzerland at least $3.5 billion in penalties to resolve a massive foreign bribery WASHINGTON

scheme involving officials on three continents.

The settlement with Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht and petrochemical company Braskemto was reached under the anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. With the possibility combined penalties could reach $4.5 billion, officials said it’s the largest settlement ever agreed to under FCPA. Wednesday, Odebrecht pleaded guilty to a one-count criminal information filed by the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and the

YASUYOSHI CHIBA, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

U.S. Attorney’s Office in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, charging the company with conspiracy to

violate the anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. According to a Justice Department release, Odebrecht’s “massive and unparalleled bribery and bid-rigging scheme” began in 2001.

Over that period, the company created a “department of bribery” using shell companies, off-book transactions and off-shore bank accounts to pay about $788 million to government officials, their representatives and political parties in a number of countries (in-

cluding Argentina, Mexico and the Dominican Republic), to win government contracts.

Federal prosecutors got involved because Odebrecht, its employees and agents took a number of steps while in the U.S. to further the scheme, officials said.

In a statement, Odebrecht apologized for its actions.

“It deeply regrets its role in the conduct giving rise to this resolution and apologizes for violating its own principles of honesty and ethics,” the statement said.

Ask friend who broke chair twice to help pay Dear Annie: I wrote to you earlier this year about my lovely, charming neighbor and friend named “Tara,” who is quite overweight and broke my living room chair. That repair was over $90 — a lot of money to me.

Well, Tara came over recently, and before I could suggest going out for coffee, she sat in my beautiful living room chair again. Immediately, there was a loud pop. Ugh! The spring is completely out of the bottom of the chair again. And the upholsterer says it will cost at least another $90 to repair it.

What is the etiquette for telling a neighbor with whom you’re friends that she has obviously broken an item of yours? I have to think she knows she breaks furniture when

she sits in it, because after each incident, she immediately said, “Did I break it?”

I’m out a lot of money, and I’d like her to pay for it. I just do not know how to bring it up while preserving the friendship. — Broken Living Room Dear Broken: If you remain silent, resentment will pile on until you reach your own breaking point. To preserve your friendship and your furniture, you

Little time left to catch holiday fare With scant days left until Christmas, the chance to catch your favorite specials and movies is fast disappearing. For some that’s a blessing, a sign that the incessant din of holiday music will soon depart. For others, it’s a sign that the season, like youth and life itself, is a fleeting thing, a dreamlike moment between anticipation and nostalgia that comes and goes before you know it.

This being television, there is simply too much to choose from. And sometimes the very onslaught makes the gems stand out.

Hallmark has been showing movies like “My Christmas Love” (7 p.m.) and “I’m Not Ready for Christmas” (9 p.m.) since October. These are best for people treating the holiday itself as a kind of background noise. They are as ubiquitous, and presumably as pleasant and inoffensive as greeting cards and wrapping paper. It’s Hallmark, after all.

In films like “Deck the Halls” (7 p.m., AMC) and “Jingle All the Way” (7:55 p.m., Freeform), the frantic nature of the holidays offers material to satirize, but these movies can seem more like Hollywood product than seasonal favorites.

Arguably the most recent holiday offering to emerge as a classic, the 2003 “Elf” (5:45 p.m., Freeform) makes the most of Will Ferrell’s manic innocence.

But even his sugar-soaked spirit must travel on a road through disillusionment to arrive at enchantment.

The reasons “A Charlie Brown Christmas” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-G) has endured for more than a half-century are many. It’s extraordinarily smart (kids discussing psychiatry), surprisingly sophisticated (jazz and Beethoven) and decidedly anti-commercial (kids knocking Christmas as a racket run by an ‘‘eastern syndicate’’).

But it only works because so much of it is extremely sad.

Viewers must live through Charlie Brown’s abject loneliness, continual failure and ultimate humiliation before he’s finally enlightened, and, at least for the moment, re-accepted by his rather savagely self-involved peer group.

need to tell Tara the truth. Put your discomfort aside and give her a call. The simple fact is that she broke your chair and you would really appreciate it if she would help you to repair it.

Dear Annie: A recent letter in your column from “A Little Space, Please” reminded me of a similar incident that happened to me. I was at the pharmacy counter talking to the assistant pharmacist and completing my transaction, when suddenly, a huge angry-looking man appeared and leaned right past me, putting his elbow on the counter and looking over my shoulder.

Needless to say, I was startled, and I knew immediately he was trying to intimidate. So I politely asked him to wait back

Amputee gets holiday surprise: prosthetic hands Derby (ap) — A southern Kansas woman whose hands and feet had to be amputated after she was shot during a robbery got an early Christmas gift — new electronic hands worth $260,000, courtesy of a businessman and his wife.

Julie Dombo of Derby showed off her new hands Tuesday with her husband, a day after receiving them as a present from Koch Industries’ general counsel Mark Holden and his wife, The Wichita Eagle reported.

Dombo was shot in the arm and chest during an August 2015 robbery at a Derby AT&T store. Because of medical issues that developed from the injuries while she was hospitalized, doctors had to amputate portions of her arms and legs to save her life. James Michael Phillips, 27, was sentenced to about 31 years after being convicted in October of several charges in the case, including attempted first-degree murder.

Dombo met Holden in October at a Wichita Crime Commission awards banquet, where she told Holden insurance wouldn’t pay for the electronic hands she said would give her a chance at a relatively ordinary life. The hands allow her to grip objects, to work an iPhone and to put on her prosthetic legs.

Without the hands, Dombo’s husband, John, has to be with her most of the time to help her.

Dombo has been working out with the hands once a week since May at Peeple’s Prosthetics so that if the money ever came through, she’d know how to use the hands, which retail for about $260,000.

“I’ll do what I can,” Holden told her that night at the banquet.

Holden traveled back to Washington, D.C., told his wife and son about Dombo and contacted someone who knew U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo of Wichita. Holden wanted to see if Pompeo could talk with the insurance company.

But when Holden attended Phillips’ sentencing hearing, he learned that Blue Cross hadn’t changed its decision.

“I promise you, I will get your sister the arms,” Holden told Dombo’s sister Linda. “We’re going to get them.”

Holden later told Dombo his wife wanted to meet her. So the Dombos invited the Holdens over for lunch Monday when Mark Holden arrived carrying two big boxes with the prosthetic hands he and his wife bought for her.

Dombo saw the boxes and started to cry.

“Merry Christmas,” Holden said.

KU’s Azubuike out for season with wrist injury

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The depth in an already thin Kansas basketball frontcourt became much shallower on Wednesday, when the Jayhawks learned that a wrist injury suffered by 7-foot freshman Udoka Azubuike during Tuesday’s practice will cost the 17-year-old big man the rest of the season.

“Udoka tore ligaments to his left wrist in practice Tuesday that will require surgery and he will miss the remainder of the season,” KU coach Bill Self said in a news release. “Surgery should take place in the

‘‘

This is a blow to our team, but I know that we will rally around this and Udoka will work hard to ensure a full recovery.”

— Bill Self

next few weeks and doctors are confident he will make a full recovery and be full-speed sometime this summer.”

Even though Self’s Jayhawks have operated with a four-guard lineup for the majority of the 2016-17 season thus far, Azubuike’s presence in the middle represented both serious size and tremendous potential.

Game in Sin City business as usual for the Jayhawks

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Las Vegas — Visiting a place known as Sin City and by the slogan “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” the Kansas men’s basketball team figures to get a much different experience than most while in the gambling capital of the world tonight to take on UNLV at 8 p.m. at Thomas and Mack Center.

“Vegas does have a lot of glitz and glamour, they tell me,” KU coach Bill Self said. “But where we are staying, in The Renaissance, I’ve stayed there many times, and that’s very limited there.”

Instead of hitting the strip, trying their luck at blackjack or doing their best (or worst) to recreate scenes from “The Hangover,” the third-ranked Jayhawks (10-1) will take in the same sights, sounds, faces and places they’re accustomed to seeing on most road trips throughout the season.

“This is a business trip,” Self said. “We’ll stay in (Wednesday night) and go shoot the next morning and then we’ll play the game and they leave immediately after. So this won’t be any different than going to Ames (Iowa) or Manhattan or Stillwater or Norman (Oklahoma).

It really won’t, from our guys’ perspective. They’ll see the lights as we drive to the hotel.”

With Big 12 play on deck and a 10-game winning streak intact, the Jayhawks themselves would have it no other way. Many of them have been to Vegas in the past for one reason or another, so experiencing the local flare is far from the most important thing on their minds right now.

“We’re just looking at

it like every other game,” said freshman Josh Jackson. “Of course it’s gonna be a little different playing on the road, but we just approach it the same, try to play the same, try to play hard.”

Jackson, who grew up in Detroit and finished his prep career in Napa, California, said he had made several trips to Vegas and enjoyed each one. His most memorable, however, came during his junior year of high school.

“I think my favorite (memory) was when we won the Fab 48 (AAU Tournament) for the first time,” Jackson recalled. “I had been playing in that tournament since maybe I was in eighth grade, and never won it so it felt really good to finally win one.”

Winning this one, in many ways, will feel better to Jackson and his teammates. Not because of the magnitude of what this one victory would mean, but more because of what it would represent.

Having yet to play a true road game this season, in an opponent’s home gym, Jackson and the Jayhawks are bracing for a different experience than any they’ve had so far this season.

“They really haven’t told me much about it,” said Jackson when asked what warnings his KU teammates had given him about life on the road. “But I’ve played in a couple games before where me and my team were the only ones on our side in the entire gym.

So I think I’ve got an idea of what to expect a little bit.”

Added Self: “I’m probably as excited about seeing how our team reacts in our first true road game (as anything). We’ve played away from home, but this will be a little bit different.”

KU at UNLV game not available for WOW subscribers J-W Staff Report

Kansas basketball fans in Lawrence who rely on their WOW cable subscriptions to watch the Jayhawks will have to figure out another option for tonight’s game at UNLV. KU’s 8 p.m. road test in Las Vegas will air on CBS Sports Network — a channel not offered locally through WOW.

The same issue popped up for the city’s WOW subscribers a year ago, when Kansas played at San Diego State on the same network.

The UNLV game marks the only time the Jayhawks play on CBS Sports Network this season.

The remaining games on the Kansas regular-season schedule all will air on either ESPN, ESPN 2 or the national CBS network.

The Nigerian native has started the past six games as the lone big man in KU’s starting lineup and averaged 5 points and 4.4 rebounds while also leading the team with 18 blocked shots.

His absence puts more importance on the play of senior Landen Lucas and sophomore Carlton Bragg Jr. — both starters to open the season — who

have shown in recent games that they are working through the early-season funks that affected both players.

Lucas likely will return to the starting lineup in Azubuike’s place and Self said in the release that he was confident his veteran team would be able to absorb the bad news.

“We all feel bad for Udoka,” Self said. “He has worked so hard and has put himself in a position to have a tremendous impact on this year’s squad. This is a blow to our team, but I know that we will rally around this and Udoka will work hard to ensure a full recovery.”

KANSAS HEAD COACH BILL SELF HAS A LAUGH while talking with media members during Big 12 Media Day in October. On Wednesday, Self was announced as a nominee for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

The KU coach is a first-time nominee for Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Las Vegas — While en route to Las Vegas for tonight’s first true road game of the 2016-17 season — 8 p.m. vs. UNLV at Thomas and Mack Center — Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self on Wednesday was nominated for inclusion in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

“I consider this an honor to be nominated,” Self said via press release after hearing the news. “I certainly didn’t expect this. I’m proud, mainly because of the teams’ successes we’ve had in the various stops that put me in a position to be considered.”

The nomination came on the 125th anniversary of the invention of the game by James Naismith, who brought basketball to Lawrence from Springfield, Massachusetts, site of the Naismith Hall of Fame.

The game’s handwritten rules, penned by Naismith, who went on to become the first coach at KU, currently reside in the DeBruce Center adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse on KU’s campus.

In 24 seasons as a head

coach at Oral Roberts, Tulsa, Illinois and the last 14 at Kansas, Self has recorded 602 victories against just 189 losses.

That includes a 395-84 mark at Kansas, where Self famously has won more conference titles (12) than he has lost home games (9).

His .825 winning percentage ranks first all-time among the eight coaches who have led the Kansas basketball program and he has earned four national coach of the year honors and six Big 12 coach of the year honors while leading the Jayhawks to 12 consecutive Big 12 regular season titles, a streak that remains in tact and is one away from tying UCLA’s all-time record of 13 straight from 1967-79 under two different coaches.

While Self will have to wait until April 3 to find out of he will be enshrined as a part of

the 2017 class — finalists will be announced Feb. 18 — many who have worked with him or marveled at his success inducted him into their own personal Hall of Fame long ago.

“Coach Self is one of the elite coaches in the nation,” KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger told the Journal-World.

“He has been a winner everywhere he’s been and his record and conference championships while leading the tradition-rich Kansas basketball program speak for themselves.

He certainly is deserving of the highest accolades and honors.”

In addition to guiding his teams to 18 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, Self has racked up eight 30-win seasons, which ties for third in NCAA history. His four consecutive 30-win seasons at

Jayhawks outlast Riverside in OT thriller, 90-84

By Bobby Nightengale

BOX SCORE

bnightengale@ljworld.com

With 12 lead changes in the second half against UC Riverside on Wednesday, the Kansas women’s basketball team kept turning to sophomore McKenzie Calvert.

But two minutes into overtime — following a miraculous, buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Riverside’s Simone DeCoud that forced an extra period — Calvert was forced to the sideline because of an ankle injury. That’s when Jessica Washington turned from offensive sidekick to superstar.

Washington scored 12 straight points in overtime, lifting the Jayhawks to a 90-84 overtime victory at Allen Fieldhouse to conclude the non-conference portion of the season. When the final seconds ticked off the clock, Washington looked at her teammates and let out a wide smile.

The 5-foot-8 Washington, a transfer from North Carolina, scored a careerhigh 27 points. She was perfect at the free-throw line, making all 12 of her attempts.

Actually in overtime, Washington was perfect from everywhere on the court, shooting 3-of-3. A strong dribbler, Washington drilled 3-pointers from the top of the arc.

There were four lead changes in overtime, but Washington gave the Jayhawks (6-5) a four-point advantage with 35 seconds left and they made all of their free throws in the final 30 seconds.

“I just got more energy and built more fire inside of me,” said Washington, who added six assists and four rebounds. “I saw Kenzie go down, and with the night that she had, I knew I needed to step up.”

At times, it seemed like it was a battle of who had the ball last. With less than 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter, following a KU timeout, Calvert caught a pass on the left wing and launched a 3-pointer for a one-point lead, assisted from Washington.

Calvert, who scored a career-high 30 points on 12-of-20 shooting, was dominant in the fourth quarter. The offense was simply give the ball to Calvert and watch her do the rest. She scored 13 points on seven shots in the fourth quarter, including seven points in a two-minute stretch. Nobody else took more than one shot.

But each time the 5-foot-9 Calvert scored in the fourth quarter — whether it was 3-pointers or muscling past defenders on drives down the

KANSAS GUARD JESSICA WASHINGTON (3) launches a 3-point basket to give the Jayhawks the lead late in OT on their way to a win over UC Riverside Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse. lane — the Highlanders (5-5) always had an response, usually from DeCoud.

“We were talking it up during the game like, ‘When you going to stop scoring?’” Calvert said of DeCoud, her main defensive assignment in the second half, who had 29 points and 10 rebounds.

Down by three points with seven seconds left, the 5-foot-6 senior point guard DeCoud dribbled down the right wing, in

front of her team’s sideline, bobbled the ball and fired up a 3-pointer that looked as much like a shot put as a jump shot. It swished through the net at the buzzer.

“We shoot the same shot 10 more times and it may not go in,” Riverside coach John Margaritis said.

It’s the second time this season that the Jayhawks have watched an opponent drain a game-tying, buzzer-beating 3-pointer.

When it happened on the road against Alabama, they lost in overtime.

“I’ve always said in the men’s game that I would foul and in the women’s game, it’s iffy,” KU coach Brandon Schneider said on fouling in the final seconds with a threepoint lead. “But now that I’ve got my (butt) burned twice, I may consider it.”

The Jayhawks will begin Big 12 play against Oklahoma on Dec. 29 at Allen Fieldhouse.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL ROUNDUP

THREE KEYS FOR KANSAS

Have energy, will travel

Get a hand up

Both freshman Josh Jackson and head coach Bill Self said one of the keys to KU’s clash with UNLV would be the Jayhawks’ ability to create their own energy right out of the gate.

Playing in a true road environment for the first time this season, the Jayhawks will not be able to rely on their adoring fan base the way they do at home and have in Honolulu, New York and Kansas City.

Instead, the Jayhawks will have to lean on each other and look to their coaches and the veterans to bring emotion and fire to a game that could be played in front of a small crowd. That will make players like Jackson, Devonté Graham and Carlton Bragg even more important in this one because all three have no problem showing fire and emotion on the floor during good times and bad.

UNLV is not a great shooting team — the Rebels are hitting just .435 from the floor so far this season — but can get hot if they find rhythm early.

Marvin Menzies’ team is shooting .367 from 3-point range and has scored 89 points or higher in three games this season, two of them victories.

While Self always emphasizes man-to-man defense and routinely strives to keep opponents at or below 40 percent from the floor, that goal figures to be an even more important part of this one given UNLV’s track record of getting hot and shooting out of its mind on nights when opponents have let the Rebels find comfort on the offensive end.

“The biggest thing is to not allow them to get consistent,” Self said.

“If they’re making shots, they’re capable of giving anyone problems, but they’ve also been very inconsistent.”

The Associated Press

Poinsettia Bowl BYU 24, Wyoming 21 S an D iego — Senior Jamaal Williams gained 210 yards on 26 carries and Tanner Mangum ran for a touchdown and threw for another to lead BYU to a 24-21 victory over Wyoming in the Poinsettia Bowl on a rainy Wednesday night.

It was the sixth 100yard game for Williams this year and the second time he gained more than 200. He ran for a career-best 286 against Toledo.

With BYU (9-4) leading 17-7, Williams gave the Cougars some breathing room when he broke a 36-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter.

MEGA MATCHUP The Jayhawks vs.

Father Christmas Although Kansas traditionally has fared well during December, there have been a couple of occasions when the Jayhawks laid an egg right before the team parted ways for a few days of holiday celebrations with friends and family back home. Self made sure to stress just how important things like preparation, scouting report and finishing the non-conference portion of their schedule on a high-note were to the rest

of the Jayhawks’ season. “We’ve had several teams that went home for Christmas emotionally before the game was actually played,” Self said. “And we’ve had some teams that didn’t do that.

We’ll emphasize how important it is to keep some momentum going into the Christmas break.”

With no-nonsense seniors Frank Mason III and Landen Lucas leading the way, this experienced and mature Kansas team should have no trouble maintaining the proper mindset through tonight’s game.

— Matt Tait

Free throw war

Not only is UNLV shooting a better percentage than Kansas from the free throw line (.720 vs. .600) but the Rebels also do a good job of getting to the line and keeping opponents from getting there.

So far this season, the Jayhawks have committed 25 more fouls than the Rebels in one less game and have not been able to capitalize on the charity shots themselves when they do get there.

The Jayhawks have topped 70 percent from the line in a single game just three times this season — the season best came in the opener when KU shot .733 from the line vs. Indiana — but even in those games the Jayhawks still missed a combined 21 free throws.

Free points are important in any game, but certainly take on greater importance in road games against upsetminded teams looking for any way they can to take down the favorite.

— Matt Tait

JAYHAWK PULSE Coming off of what many believe was their best half of the season last Saturday night against Davidson, the Jayhawks will look to continue to pile up the points while using intense defense and extreme focus to improve their winning streak to 11 games heading into Big 12 Conference play.

Although UNLV is down this year and is in the middle of a major rebuilding project, the mere fact that it’s the Runnin’ Rebels and the game is being played in Las Vegas adds more than a little buzz to this one.

The Kansas offense has been on fire of late, having scored 89 points or more in six straight games, marking the first time the team has produced such a streak since topping 91 points six straight times in January of 1990.

With the Jayhawks’ four-guard lineup looking more and more comfortable and effective each night, the Jayhawks will look to continue to fine-tune their small ball approach while also hoping that the Kansas big men build on strong showings during the past few outings.

Chiefs GM continues to remake team through draft

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — When he was hired four years ago, Chiefs general manager John Dorsey not only inherited a two-win team with very little depth, but also one that was aging right before his eyes.

He’s already done a lot to rectify that problem.

Sure, his first draft in 2013 was largely a bust outside of No. 1 overall pick Eric Fisher and tight end Travis Kelce, but the three subsequent drafts have reshaped the Kansas City roster.

Dorsey has made 24 selections and all but four of those players have contributed to a 10-4 record with the goal of clinching a playoff berth Sunday night against Denver.

Perhaps most gratifying?

Three of those remaining 20 players were chosen to the Pro Bowl this week, including Kelce, who has emerged as one of the game’s top tight ends.

Marcus Peters, the Chiefs’ first-round pick a year ago, was selected for the second straight year, and fifth-round pick Tyreek Hill was chosen to the Pro Bowl as a rookie.

“Look,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, explaining the way the team has been built, “you try to accumulate as many good players as you can that fit into what you’re doing, and handle themselves the right way, and then you roll.”

That sounds simple, but circumstances in Kansas City have actually made it quite difficult.

The first draft class was thrown together in a matter of weeks after Dorsey,

Reid and the rest of their staffs came on board.

The Chiefs also traded two second-round picks to acquire quarterback Alex Smith from San Francisco, and then traded their firstround pick this past year to accumulate more selections, which they have in turn used to remake more of their roster.

Throw in the two draft picks that Dorsey was docked for tampering with his pursuit of then-free agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, and building through the draft has been a chore.

But it’s one that has paid significant dividends.

Peters had five interceptions early in the season, and has been so productive when it comes to forcing turnovers that few quarterbacks choose to test him anymore.

Hill already has 10 touchdowns, two shy of the franchise rookie record, and they’ve come on the ground, through the air and on kickoff and punt returns Then there’s Kelce, who has 73 receptions to lead all NFL tight ends this season, and who needs 43 yards in the final two games to eclipse 1,000 for the first time in his career.

In many cases, the Chiefs’ crop of young talent was acquired simply because Dorsey and Reid were willing to gamble on prospects with character questions when other teams were not.

Kelce was suspended for a season in college after failing a drug test. Peters was kicked off his team at Washington after getting into a run-in with coach Chris Petersen. And Hill

was booted out of Oklahoma State after pleading guilty to striking his pregnant girlfriend.

None of them have had any off-the-field issues since they’ve arrived in Kansas City.

“It definitely means a lot,” Hill said of the Pro Bowl recognition,” but without my teammates, without my coaches, without this organization motivating me each and every day, giving me a chance, this wouldn’t be possible. I have to thank everyone for giving me this chance.”

Now, there have been plenty of missteps in the draft, whether it was thirdround pick KeiVarae Russell getting cut early this season or the five picks from 2013 no longer on the roster.

But at least so far, the hits appear to outweigh the misses.
