The income taxes would raise an estimated $820 million a year for the state general fund starting in July, while the motor fuel tax would raise another $197 million a year for highways and other transportation projects.

“The last years can only be described as a senseless era of crisis,” Duane Goossen, a former state budget director who is now a senior fellow at the Kansas Center for Economic Growth, said at a Statehouse rally. “We made a dangerous gamble on a tax plan without any evidence that it would work, and we lost.”

The proposed tax plan was the work of Goossen’s organization, Kansas Action for Children, the Kansas National Education Association, the Kansas Organization of State Employees and the Kansas Contractors Association.

It calls for closing the so-called LLC loophole that exempts more than 330,000 farmers and business owners from state income taxes altogether, and for partially reversing other parts of Brownback’s 2012 tax plan.

That includes ending the so-called “march to zero” that automatically lowers income tax rates whenever state revenues grow beyond a set limit, and reinstating a third income tax bracket for people earning $40,000 a year or more.

Under that plan, the group said, no one would pay a higher income tax rate than they paid in 2012, before the tax cuts took effect.

And don’t forget, this year’s number is just through September, so it’s a lot like a credit card bill in November — subject to growth.

The Links project was the big one. In case you have forgotten, it is an apartment development that will be constructed around a private ninehole golf course that is just east of the Rock Chalk Park sports complex. Arkansasbased Lindsey Management has these types of developments around the country where the selling point is your monthly rent includes unlimited greens fees on the golf course. The company in September pulled building permits for 30 apartment buildings, plus a clubhouse.

All 30 apartment buildings are three stories tall and have 18 to 24 living units apiece. The city issued permits for construction totaling $26.4 million.

The other big project was an upscale residential development along the Alvamar golf course, which has been bought and is being redevel-

FORMER KANSAS BUDGET DIRECTOR DUANE GOOSSEN speaks at a Statehouse rally Wednesday urging lawmakers to reverse many of Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax policies, saying they have hurt the state financially and failed to produce the economic results he promised. would, in fact, face a higher tax bill because the plan does not call for restoring any of the itemized deductions for child care costs, mortgage interest and other expenses that lawmakers reduced as part of a 2013 deal to lessen the impact of the 2012 cuts.

It would also reduce the state sales tax on food by 1.5 percent, saving the average household an estimated $100 a year. But it would also leave in place the 6.5 percent rate on other taxable items that lawmakers approved in 2015 to close a budget gap that year.

In addition, the plan calls for raising motor fuel taxes by 11 cents a gallon. The group said that would raise about $197 million a year, which they said is needed to restore funding that the Brownback administra-

tion has swept out of the highway program in the face of budget shortfalls in recent years.

Even if the “Rise Up, Kansas” plan were approved, however, it would do nothing to solve the immediate, $350 million revenue shortfall the state faces for the rest of this fiscal year. But if the group’s estimates hold true, it would close the looming $582 million shortfall that budget officials say lies ahead in the next fiscal year that begins July 1.

Those projections, however, do not take into account any additional money that the Kansas Supreme Court may order in the pending school finance lawsuit.

The court heard oral arguments in that case in September, and a ruling could be handed down at any time.

Goossen said members of the coalition think it’s important for lawmakers to focus on a long-term solution for the state’s continuing budget shortfalls before they try to tackle the immediate shortfall in the current fiscal year.

“It is very, very important to have a long-term plan that fixes our balance problems and fiscal situation before doing any kind of short-term fix,” Goossen said. “The long-term plan has to be in place first.”

Lawmakers will convene Jan. 9 for the start of the 2017 session, and it remains unclear what kind of reception tax plans like the one proposed by “Rise Up, Kansas” will receive.

Conservative Republicans who dominated the Legislature in 2012 and 2013 when the Brownback tax plans were en-

L awrence J ournal -W orld acted suffered heavy losses in the 2016 elections, as Democrats and moderate Republicans made significant gains.

Newly elected House Speaker Ron Ryckman Jr., of Olathe, and Senate President Susan Wagle, of Wichita, have both said they are not taking any options off the table as lawmakers try to craft tax and budget packages to close the looming budget gaps.

Meanwhile, Brownback’s office quickly panned the coalition’s plan, especially its call for raising motor fuel taxes.

“Liberal special interest groups have long called for ‘wealthy’ small business owners to pay their ‘fair share,’” Brownback’s spokeswoman Melika Willoughby said in a statement. “But today, the true victims of their tax and spend proposals were revealed. They are the receptionists, nurses, police officers, and other members of the middle class, working hard every day to put gas in the tank and money in their pockets to provide for themselves and their families.”

Kansas currently taxes regular gasoline and ethanol-blended gasoline at 24 cents per gallon, and diesel fuel at 26 cents per gallon. That makes Kansas’ gasoline rate about 3.5 cents higher than the national average while its rate for diesel fuel is nearly 4 cents below the national average, according to the American Petroleum Institute.

Those state excise taxes are charged on top of the federal excise tax of 18.3 cents per gallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents for diesel.

matic protocol, Trump took the call from Tsai Ing-wen on Dec. 2. The U.S. has long followed a one-China policy, recognizing the government in Beijing and limiting contact with Taipei, but the new disclosures show that Taiwan made use of a well-connected insider — a former Republican presidential nominee — in a bid to establish ties with Trump long before he was elected on Nov. 8.

For China, which regards the island as a renegade province, Taiwan is a sensitive issue, though it initially downplayed Trump’s phone call. On

Sunday, Trump seemed to further stir tensions, citing China’s currency policies and military buildup in a defense of the call.

Dole didn’t respond to an email sent after normal business hours, and Miriam Brioso, a spokeswoman, didn’t immediately return a phone call. The disclosure was reported earlier by The New York Times.

Dole also aided in efforts to influence the Republican Party platform, which calls Taiwan “a loyal friend of America” that deserves free-trade agreement status, the timely sale of defensive

arms and full participation in the World Health Organization and other multilateral institutions.

The platform also reaffirms the Taiwan Relations Act, which enshrines the unofficial relationship the U.S. maintains with the island.

The disclosure covers Alston & Bird’s lobbying for Taiwan from the beginning of May through the end of October, well before the phone call took place. The Foreign Agents Registration Act requires lobbyists to disclose their activities every six months from the date they begin lobbying. Dole’s firm was paid

$140,000 during the period.

Dole also set up a meeting between Taiwan’s U.S. envoy, Stanley Kao, and Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, an early supporter of Trump and his pick to be attorney general.

Officials with the Trump transition team didn’t immediately respond to calls for a comment.

Trump was critical of foreign lobbyists during his campaign, calling for bans on high ranking U.S. officials representing foreign governments and on campaign fundraising by registered foreign agents.

oped by a group led

by Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel. A project labeled Alvamar Apartments pulled permits for three apartment buildings, each four stories tall with 56 living units apiece. Each apartment building also has underground parking. The city has issued permits for $14.4 million worth of construction for that complex. And, remember, that won’t be the last of the building that occurs around Alvamar.

Between them, the two projects add 762 new apartment units to the city. To put that in perspective, the city has only had one year in its history where it ever issued permits for more than 762 apartment units That was in 1996 when 972 were issued. But, remember, that was over the course of an entire year. This happened in one month.

The Links project and the Alvamar project rank No. 1 and No. 2 on the city’s list of largest building permits for 2016. It is worth remembering that the city’s list doesn’t include any building projects on the KU campus, since those projects are permitted by the state rather than the city. It is worth not-

ing that all of the top 5 projects on the city’s list are apartment projects, although one is more of a retirement complex than a traditional apartment. Here’s a look at the top 10: l The Links at Lawrence Apartments, 54005401 Rock Chalk Drive: $26.48 million l Alvamar Apartments, 1575-1675-1775 Birdie Way: $14.4 million l West End Apartments, 5400 Overland Drive: $14.22 million l Village Cooperative retirement complex, 5325 W. Sixth Street: $8.35 million l Bauer Farms Residential, 4541 Bauer Farm Drive: $6 million l Maple Street Pump Station, 547 Maple St.: $5.93 million l Pinckney Elementary School additions and renovation, 810 W. Sixth St.: $5.7 million l Bethel Estates of Lawrence, 2140 E. 25th Terrace: $5.51 million l 800 New Hampshire multifamily addition, 800 New Hampshire: $4 million l KU Tennis Facility, 6100 Rock Chalk Drive: $3.965 million.

There are a few other numbers of note in the report: l Perhaps Lawrence

now is routinely going to be a $200 million city.

Last year was the first time in the city’s history that more than $200 million worth of building permits were issued by City Hall. But it looks like it won’t be the last time. The September report shows the city has issued permits for $190.6 million worth of construction. That puts the city on pace to top the $200 million mark in 2016. l Lawrence is posting record numbers without a lot of activity in what used to be the city’s bread-and-butter industry: single family home construction. Through September the city has issued 128 permits for single family or duplex construction. That is actually a slowdown from the 181 permits the city had issued at this point in 2015. Still, this year’s showing is a little above average. The five-year average at this point in the year is about 111 units.

The city’s singlefamily housing industry, though, has not bounced back from the housing bubble of the 2000s. As we have been reporting, real estate agents report the number of homes for sale is getting tight, so we’ll see if 2017 is the

year that single-family builders start to pick up the pace.

Or, maybe we all will just live in apartments.

Apartment builders tell me the majority of these units aren’t being built for students anymore. The tenants are people who traditionally would be buying a starter home, or perhaps downsizing to a smaller retirement home.

There are many people who are choosing to pass on home ownership for whatever reason. Whether that is a trend that continues is uncertain.

What is certain is that the look of Lawrence is being changed dramatically. In the 1990s and early 2000s it used to be that single-family home construction routinely outpaced apartment construction. But that is no longer the case. Now, it is not even a contest. From 2016 to 2012, Lawrence has built 2,279 apartments compared with 665 single-family homes.

I’m not saying that is a good or a bad change.

But it certainly is a change, and one that will leave its mark for a long time.

Suspect arrested in reported sex crime

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A Lawrence man was arrested Tuesday night and booked into the Douglas County Jail on suspicion of sexual battery.

The man, 33, is being held without bond. He has not been charged.

The arrest, according to a Lawrence Police Department incident number, corresponds to a “sex crime report” from 7:06 p.m. Tuesday in the 200 block of McDonald Drive. One officer responded to the scene.

Lawrence Police Department spokeswoman Kim Murphree said in a written response that the reported victim and the

man were “not previously known to each other.”

Another sexual battery was reported Tuesday, but no arrests have been made in that case.

Murphree said the crime was reported within the 700 block of Massachusetts Street and was said to have occurred Dec. 1.

Lawrence Police Department activity logs show two officers responded to the scene at 8 a.m.

Again, Murphree said the reported victim and suspect were not previously known to each other.

As of Wednesday morning, no arrests listed in the Douglas County Jail’s booking logs bear incident numbers matching the reported sexual battery.

Better attitude can mean better life for diabetic Dear Annie: I have Type 2 diabetes, and I went through a neardeath experience this summer — with kidney failure, congestive heart failure and other problems. I had to have surgery. While I recovered in the hospital, my son brought me my laptop. I posted my story on Facebook.

While my other friends were offering messages of sympathy over my illness, my friend “Jill” was posting about an art show she was having. She paid no attention to my post.

Military PT reality show on History Will “The Selection: Special Operations Experiment” (9 p.m., History, TV-14) make the cut? The new eight-part series follows 30 men and women between the ages of 21 and 45 with no military background who are put through intense physical and mental challenges conducted by veterans of the Navy SEALs, Green Berets and Army Rangers.

We’re told early and often that more than 80 percent of those who start these proceedings in the real world quit. How a b o u t folks from “The Real World”?

Part of the predictability built into “The Selection” is just how seriously it takes itself. From the get-go we are told, “This isn’t a game!” and, “This isn’t a show!”

But we know it’s a bit of both.

Here, many of the participants in “The Selection” arrive with the idea that this is a test of their individual skills and endurance. They’re being trained as “warriors” for their own gratification and for our entertainment. At the end of the process they don’t graduate to active duty, but go on to other pursuits and perhaps other reality shows.

O Ginny (Kylie Bunbury) reaches her innings limit on the fall finale of “Pitch” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14). An engaging series that has become a critical darling, “Pitch” has seen its audience dwindle.

As a melodrama, “Pitch” may have suffered from its consistently positive tone. While it’s hard not to root for Ginny the rookie and her aging veteran teammate, Mike (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), “Pitch” lacks the key ingredient for an addictive soap opera: a clear-cut villain.

The arrival of young catching and hitting phenomenon Livan Duarte (Christian Ochoa) may have put Mike’s place on the Padres in jeopardy. But Duarte is merely a smug, selfish, boring jock — hardly the scheming villain a series like this needs.

A risky vote on incentives It’s not clear what the rejection of an incentives request will mean for downtown and whether the decision was in the public’s interest.

T

he Lawrence City Commission set a new precedent for downtown development Tuesday night when commissioners voted to deny incentives for a project despite numerous recommendations that incentives be approved.

Commissioners Leslie Soden, Lisa Larsen and Matthew Herbert voted against the proposed $9.3 million development at 800 Vermont, which would have included 12 condominiums, an underground parking garage and commercial and office space.

Developer Bob Schumm was seeking $1.3 million in two forms of incentives: Neighborhood Revitalization Act and Industrial Revenue Bonds.

Soden, Larsen and Herbert argued that the project did not offer enough public benefit. Schumm had proposed that one of the condo units be set aside as affordable housing.

But the Affordable Housing Advisory Board and the Public Incentives Review Committee both recommended incentives for the project, as did city staff and an outside consultant the city hired specifically to evaluate projects seeking incentives for public benefit.

A cost-benefit analysis showed the incentives were necessary for the project to move forward and that every $1 in incentives spent on the project would generate $1.78 in economic benefit for the city.

City Manager Tom Markus said he supported the project based on the metrics and that commissioners should use a similar standards-based approach to incentives. Mayor Mike Amyx and Commissioner Stuart Boley agreed and voted for the incentives.

But those metrics didn’t seem to matter to Soden, Larsen and Herbert, who have been vocal about their opposition to incentives.

It’s important to structure incentives correctly to make sure that taxpayers are protected, that they only be used to incentivize projects that benefit the city.

On Tuesday, the commissioners opposed to the project cited the lack of workforce housing in the project as key to their opposition. But is workforce housing the right benefit benchmark for downtown projects?

The goal for downtown Lawrence is a pedestrian-friendly environment with a vibrant mix of commercial, office and living space and adequate parking. Ongoing developments like Schumm’s are going to be necessary to creating and enhancing that downtown environment, and it isn’t clear those developments will move forward without incentive help.

Schumm said that without the incentives, he will only go forward with the two ground floors of the project, housing the commercial and office space. No parking.

No condos.

It remains to be seen what impact Tuesday’s decision will have on future downtown development. Only then will it be clear whether the vote was in the public’s best interest or to its detriment.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 8, 1916: l “The invasion by women years of the privileges that once ago were supposed to be men’s IN 1916 exclusively goes right along.

The women members of the University faculty are debating the question of organizing a women’s club, similar to the University club. The plan is to secure a clubhouse at which some of the members would live and where a larger number would be boarded. Details as to other features, like the billiard room found in men’s clubs, have not been given out.”

Challenged by the hope of my elders “There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.”

— Martin Luther King Jr.

“Make me want to holler, way they do my life.”

— Marvin Gaye

I find myself burdened by the faith of my elders.

They were generations of cooks and farmers, poets and laborers, of porters and housekeepers, soldiers and slaves, and they navigated a very different America. It

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

Infuriated white conservatives could not understand why this handful of black people would not rise to honor America.

Frankly, the marvel is not that some black people don’t stand, but that most still do.” was an America of signs barring entrance, and torture killings in the town square and how much am I bid for this fetching wench who is sure to bear you a litter of pickaninnies.

Yet somehow, for the most part, they never lost the conviction that this thing called America could be hammered into conformity with its own values if only they were patient enough, tough enough, resilient and excellent enough, to see it done. So they hammered at it.

And they hammered at it.

And in the course of time, they passed the hammer down to me. And I have hammered as best I know how.

But Lord, I am just tired.

On Monday, a jury in South Carolina deadlocked in the trial of a former North Charleston police officer who shot a black man named Walter Scott in the back. There was cellphone video, so jurors knew that when Michael Slager said he feared for his life, he was lying. What threat is posed by the back of an unarmed man — even a black one — who is 18 feet away and running from you?

And yet, a panel of 11 white people and one African-American could not find it in themselves to hold Slager accountable for this summary execution, could not bring themselves to say that this black life mattered.

This comes a year after a Cleveland grand jury declined to indict a police officer who shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice dead, two years after a Staten Island jury

declined to indict the police officer who choked the life out of Eric Garner, three years after a jury in Sanford, Fla., acquitted the self-deputized neighborhood watchman who stalked and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, 24 years after a jury in Ventura County, Calif., acquitted four police officers who beat Rodney King very nearly to death, 61 years after a jury in Sumner, Miss., acquitted two white men who murdered 14-year-old Emmett Till so savagely that he was found with his right eyeball resting on his cheek.

It comes four years after the Supreme Court tore down the Voting Rights Act because it worked too well.

It comes a month after white supremacy was elected president.

And it comes about four months after NFL player Colin Kaepernick, later joined by other, mostly-AfricanAmerican athletes, first refused to stand for the national anthem. Infuriated white conservatives could not understand why this handful of black people would not rise

to honor America. Frankly, the marvel is not that some black people don’t stand, but that most still do.

You get tired of being disappointed, you know? You get sick of being let down.

Yet I am challenged by the hope of my elders.

I hear King reminding me how the arc of the moral universe is long but bends toward justice. I hear Thomas L. Jennings declaring that “our claims are on America.”

I hear Curtis Mayfield ordering me to keep on pushing and Sam Cooke prophesying that a change is going to come and Mahalia Jackson testifying how she got over.

And I know that probably, eventually, my elders will beguile me back into faith, convince me there are reasons to keep hammering at America’s ideals, or stand for America’s song. But in this moment of fresh betrayal? Sorry, elders.

I’m damned if I can think of one.

— Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

He will be on vacation until Jan. 2, when his column will return.

Carrier ploy was a repudiation of conservatism Washington — So, this is the new conservatism’s recipe for restored greatness: Political coercion shall supplant economic calculation in shaping decisions by companies in what is called, with diminishing accuracy, the private sector. This will be done partly as conservatism’s challenge to liberalism’s supremacy in the victimhood sweepstakes, telling aggrieved groups that they are helpless victims of vast, impersonal forces, against which they can be protected only by government interventions.

Responding to political threats larded with the money of other people, Carrier has somewhat modified its planned transfers of some manufacturing to Mexico.

This represents the dawn of bipartisanship: The Republican Party now shares one of progressivism’s defining aspirations — government industrial policy, with the political class picking winners and losers within, and between, economic sectors.

This always involves the essence of socialism — capital allocation, whereby government overrides market signals about the efficient allocation of scarce resources.

Therefore it inevitably subtracts from economic vitality and job creation.

Although the presidentelect has yet to dip a toe into the swamp, he practices the calculus by which Washington reasons, the political asymmetry between dispersed costs and concentrated benefits. The damages from government interventions are cumulatively large but, individually, are largely invisible. The beneficiaries are few but identifiable and their gratitude is telegenic.

When, speaking at the Car-

“

Eventually, they will detect the condescension in the government’s message that their fortunes are determined not by things done by them but by things done to them.”

rier plant, Mike Pence said, “The free market has been sorting it out and America’s been losing,” Trump chimed in, “Every time, every time.”

When Republican leaders denounce the free market as consistently harmful to Americans, they are repudiating almost everything conservatism has affirmed: Edmund Burke taught that respect for a free society’s spontaneous order would immunize politics from ruinous overreaching — from the hubris of believing that we have the information and power to order society by political willfulness. In an analogous argument, Friedrich Hayek warned against the “fatal conceit” of believing that wielders of political power can supplant the market’s “efficient mechanism for digesting dispersed information.” The Republican Party is saying goodbye to all that.

Indiana’s involvement in the Carrier drama exempli-

fies the “entrepreneurial federalism” — states competing to lure businesses. This is neither new nor necessarily reprehensible. There are, however, distinctions to be drawn between creating a favorable climate for business generally and giving direct subsidies to alter the behavior of businesses already operating in the state. And when ad hoc corporate welfare, including tariffs, becomes national policy, it becomes a new arena of regulation, and hence of rent seeking, which inevitably corrupts politics. And by sapping economic dynamism, it injures the working class.

The most widely discussed and properly praised book germane to today’s politics is J.D. Vance’s “Hillbilly Elegy” about the sufferings and pathologies of the white working class, largely of Scots-Irish descent, in Appalachia and the Rust Belt. This cohort, from which Vance comes, is, he says, one of America’s most distinctive subcultures, particularly in its tenacious clinging to traditional mores, many of them destructive.

His book has often been misread as primarily about the toll taken by economic forces — globalization, automation, etc. Actually, Vance casts a cool eye on the theory that “if they only had better access to jobs, other parts of their lives would improve as well.” His primary concern is with “lack of agency” and “learned helplessness” — the passive acceptance of victim status.

One theory of the 2016 election is that the white working class rebelled not just against economic disappointments but also against condescension, demanding not just material ameliora-

tion but, even more, recognition of its dignity. It is, however, difficult for people to believe in their own dignity when they believe that their choices are powerless to alter their lives’ trajectories. Eventually, they will detect the condescension in the government’s message that their fortunes are determined not by things done by them but by things done to them.

Such people are susceptible to charismatic presidential leadership, with its promise that executive power without limits can deliver them from unhappiness by delivering to them public goods. In contrast, there was dignity in the Joad family (of John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath”). When the Dust Bowl smothered Oklahoma, the Joads were not enervated, they moved west in search of work.

What formerly was called conservatism resisted the permeation of society by politics, and particularly by the sort of unconstrained executive power that has been wielded by the 44th president. The man who will be the 45th forthrightly and comprehensively repudiates the traditional conservative agenda and, in reversing it, embraces his predecessor’s executive swagger.

Many lawmakers campaigned this year on the idea that they want to reverse some of Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax policies, especially the so-called LLC exemption that allows more than 330,000 farmers and business owners to avoid state income taxes altogether. Some also would like to raise basic income tax rates, which have been the costliest part of the 2012-2013 tax cuts, and possibly return to a system of three tax brackets instead of two.

It’s hard to tell who, exactly, started the conversation. It seems to just hang in the air of the Statehouse as hall chatter, something many people have heard but nobody claims to have authored. But it seems to have enough traction that the Legislative Research Department and Estes’ office acknowledge they’ve been asked to look into it or respond to questions about it.

Estes’ office is trying to squelch the conversation.

“There is no pot of unclaimed property available to balance the state’s budget,” he said in an email statement. “Any money above what’s needed to pay for anticipated claims and operate the Unclaimed Property Department is included with other idle state funds and invested, and

Accessing the unclaimed money is not as simple as moving it from one fund to another.

Documents reveal secret star ratings on VA quality Lowest-scoring centers concentrated in Texas, Tenn.; highest are in Northeast, Midwest Donovan Slack @donovanslack USA TODAY

The poorest-performing VA medical centers are clustered in Texas and Tennessee while some of the best are in Massachusetts and New York, according to internal VA ratings obtained by USA TODAY. The Department of Veterans Affairs has for years assigned star ratings for each of its medical WASHINGTON

centers based on the quality of care and service they provide, but the agency has repeatedly refused to make them public, saying they are meant for internal use only.

The ratings show VA hospitals in Dallas, El Paso, Nashville, Memphis and Murfreesboro all received one star out of five for performance as of June 30, the most recent period available.

Many of the highest-rated facilities are in the Northeast and the upper Midwest, including in South Dakota and Minnesota.

NEWSLINE

Those medical centers scored five out of five stars.

The VA determines the ratings for 146 of its medical centers each quarter and bases them on dozens of factors, including death and infection rates, instances of avoidable complications and wait times.

VA STAR RATING SYSTEM

A MOMENT OF SILENCE AND DESERVED SALUTE A Navy veteran returns the salute of U.S. service members while leaving the 75th annual remembrance of the attack on Pearl Harbor. A moment of silence descended over Pearl Harbor at 7:55 a.m. Hawaii time Wednesday, marking 75 years to the minute when the first Japanese war planes filled the skies Dec. 7, 1941, to lay waste to the Navy’s Pacific fleet and usher the United States into World War II. Some of the Pearl Harbor survivors were in their seats at Kilo Pier before 6 a.m., answering an early morning call as they did 75 years earlier.

SEVIERVILLE , TENN. Authorities made two arrests — both teenagers — in last week’s deadly wildfires.

The teens were in custody in Sevier County, charged with aggravated arson, said Jimmy Dunn, 4th Judicial District attorney general. They awaited a bond hearing in Juvenile Court and could be transferred to Criminal Court if prosecutors move to try them as adults.

“Everything is on the table,” Dunn said.

He refused to give any details about the case, including the teens’ ages or genders, except that “they are not from Sevier County ... they are residents of Tennessee.”

Sara Reynolds, a youth services officer in Sevier County Juvenile Court, wouldn’t provide a copy of the petition charging either teen.

State law typically denies public access to juvenile records.

Those court records would become public if the case was transferred to Criminal Court.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation operated a hotline to coordinate reports of people missing since last week’s firestorm that ravaged Gatlinburg and surrounding areas, killing 14 people and injuring nearly 150.

Device helps thieves tap into key fobs to steal your car Phone-sized box subverts security tech Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

A national watchdog group identified a device that lets thieves steal cars that use key fobs.

The device, which allows a person to open car doors, start vehicles and drive them away suggests the auto industry is entering a perilous frontier in which techsavvy criminals can bypass the

keyless theft-prevention countermeasures installed on certain recent models.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau said it purchased the device “via a third-party security expert from an overseas company” that developed it “to provide manufacturers and other antitheft organizations the ability to test the vulnerability of various vehicles’ systems.”

The so-called Relay Attack device demonstrates how thieves recently stole vehicles that were supposed to be extremely difficult to swipe.

The boxy device, about the size of a smartphone, is used to cap-

ture a signal from a nearby key fob before using the signal to gain entry illegally.

The NICB said it tested the device on used cars at participating dealerships, an auto auction, employee vehicles and other cars.

In 19 of its 35 tests, the device opened the vehicle.

In 18 of those 19 entries, it was able to start the vehicle and drive away.

In other words, more than 50% of the time, the device allowed the would-be perpetrator to steal the vehicle.

“We’ve now seen for ourselves that these devices work,” NICB CEO Joe Wehrle said in a state-

ment. “Maybe they don’t work on all makes and models but certainly on enough that car thieves can target and steal them with relative ease. And the scary part is that there’s no warning or explanation for the owner.”

The NICB said thieves use several varieties of wireless theft devices.

The criminal trend means automakers must bolster cybersecurity in the vehicles, the watchdog group said.

The group suggested that vehicle owners take their remote fob or keys with them at all times and not leave any valuables in plain sight.

team will use a sophisticated Canadian underwater vehicle to examine marine life under the ice shelf, Walton said.

The mission is organized by the Swiss Polar Institute, a group of scientific institutions and universities based in Lausanne.

In addition to the scientists, support staff such as helicopter pilots and field guides will be on board. Even a Nobel laureate will join in the fun to experience the research firsthand, Walton said.

Stormy seas are possible for some of the voyage: “We are going in summer and so the weather will at times be quite good but around some of the islands we are expecting rough seas,” he said.

“As we are sailing in the ‘Roaring Forties,’ the ‘Furious Fifties’ and the ‘Raging Sixties,’ we are expecting it to get tough at times,” Walton said, referring to the nicknames for latitudes around Antarctica, some of which feature the strongest winds on Earth.

A TREK AROUND ANTARCTICA

Da rl

A three-month scientific voyage to explore the ocean around Antarctica will bring together 55 scientists from 30 countries in a first-of-its-kind mission this month.

Known as the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition, researchers will study the impact of climate change and pollution in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica.

“A better understanding of Antarctica is critical, not just for its preservation but for the whole planet,” the expedition said.

The ship, the Russian research vessel Akademik Treshnikov, will depart from Cape Town, South Africa, on Dec. 20. On board will be experts in glaciology, climatology, biology, oceanography and other disciplines. Twenty-two different scientific projects will be

undertaken.

“The poles are essential for climate balance, but they are also the regions where changes are most apparent,” said Philippe Gillet of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, one of the groups that sponsored the mission.

The expedition aims to spark the interest of a new generation of young scientists and explorers in polar research.

Though there were missions around Antarctica in the 1950s, this will be the first to explore the little-known islands around the continent, said David Walton, the expedition’s chief scientist.

“We hope to link some of the well-known areas to some of the largely unknown, to promote new ways of looking at the Southern Ocean and the islands,” Walton said.

The mission will mainly study the ocean and islands around Antarctica. Work on the continent will occur only near the Mertz Glacier Tongue, where the

Phoenix remained a one-star facility in the most recent ratings.

VA Undersecretary for Health David Shulkin cautioned against using the ratings as a “ranking tool” and said they are considered an “internal improvement tool.”

“It is essentially a system within VA to see who’s improving, who’s getting worse,” he said.

quarter that ended June 30, the most recent ratings available, but declined to identify those with two to four stars.

Shulkin said he was apprehensive about any ratings becoming public. “My concern is that veterans are going to see that their hospital is a ‘one’ in our star system, assume that’s bad quality and veterans that need care are not going to get care,” he said.

“And they’re going to stay away from hospitals, and that’s going to hurt people.”

Without the star ratings, the public — including patients, members of Congress and others outside the agency who could hold it accountable — has no way of knowing whether VA medical centers are improving or declining, except to plow through a dizzying array of hundreds of spreadsheets on the agency’s website. “The data’s there, but you’d have to be an expert to get through it,” Shulkin conceded.

He said 120 of the 146 medical centers that the VA rates on the star scale have shown improvement since he began overseeing the Veterans Health Administration in July 2015.

He said all of the one-star facilities have shown improvement except for the VA medical center in Detroit, which has declined.

Pamela Reeves, director of the Dingell VA Center in Detroit, said officials are “working closely with our performance improvement teams in the development and oversight of action plans to address the opportunities identified by the … data.” In Phoenix, VA officials appointed a new director in October and are pumping millions into the effort to improve the medical center.

Shulkin said that nationwide, medical centers where performance declined get extra scrutiny and help from national VA officials. If they don’t show sufficient progress, hospital management could be replaced.

That happened in Wilmington, Del., where the VA ousted the medical center’s director in October after months of deteriorating quality. Wilmington was among several hospitals placed on a “high-risk” watch list this year because of declining performance, according to the internal VA documents. Also on the list were hospitals in Tomah, Wis.,

haul the agency.

The documents obtained by USA TODAY detail those averages, and when asked about them, VA officials agreed to provide updated statistics. Overall, the data show improvements in some areas and declines in others.

On average, veterans die at lower rates and contract fewer staph and urinary tract infections from catheters in VA medical centers since 2014. Veterans don’t stay as long in VA hospitals and they are readmitted within 30 days at lower rates.

At the same time, veterans experience higher rates of preventable complications during hospital stays, on average, than they did in 2014. Those on ventilators suffered more problems, such as catching pneumonia, and the rate of turnover for nurses increased.

The VA has seen increases in the percentage of veterans who have to wait longer than 30 days for appointments when they are new patients. Overall, more than 500,000 veterans waited longer than 30 days to be seen as of Nov. 15. More than 125,000 of them waited longer than two months, and 46,000 waited more than six months.

Shulkin said half of the 500,000 appointments are for more minor needs such as dental, hearing, vision and diet consultations. “I can sleep at night,” he said. “The ones I worry about are the ones who can’t wait or shouldn’t be waiting, so that’s where our entire focus of our system is right now. I don’t care about you waiting for eyeglasses.

I mean that’s poor customer service, I understand, but I do care if you have a lung nodule.”

Shulkin said the number of veterans waiting longer than a month for urgent care has decreased from 57,000 to 600 since he took over last year.

He said he works to ensure that veterans get same-day care — if they have urgent needs — at VA medical facilities across the country by the end of the year.

“If you have an urgent care problem, your wait should be zero,” he said.

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

When the European Central Bank meets Thursday, investors around the globe expect the bank to extend its stimulus program designed to jump-start economic growth and boost inflation. If they disappoint, markets won’t like it and will likely behave badly.

The ECB’s current stimulus program centers around an assetpurchase program where it buys assets, such as government bonds and corporate debt, at a clip of 80 billion euros per month. The current program is slated to end in March, but investors are counting on the ECB to extend the program, perhaps through September 2017. Many financial assets, especially eurozone stocks and bonds, are now priced with that

“Given the continued weakness of inflation and heightened political and economic uncertainty (in Europe), ECB president Mario Draghi seems set to announce another six-month extension” of its asset-purchase program, Jennifer McKeown of investment research firm Capital Economics said in a report.

Pfizer fined $106M for hiking price on epilepsy drug Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

A British regulator on Wednesday hit U.S. pharmaceutical giant Pfizer with a record $106 million fine for imposing a 2,600% price hike on an anti-epilepsy medication, the latest episode in widening public controversy over prescription drug prices.

New York-based Pfizer broke a competition law by “charging excessive and unfair prices” in the United Kingdom for phenytoin sodium capsules in September

2012, after the drug was deliberately debranded, said the Competition and Markets Authority, Britain’s top regulator.

Pfizer denied the allegation and said it would appeal.

The regulator said the cost of the anti-epilepsy drug used by an estimated 48,000 U.K. patients to prevent and control medical seizures jumped from $3.57 for 100milligram packages of the medication to $85.06.

The price was ultimately reduced to $68.05 in May 2014, the CMA said.

As a result, Britain’s National Health Service annual spending

DON EMMERT, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

for the drug rose from roughly $2.5 million in 2012 to approximately $63 million the following year, the CMA said.

Epilepsy patients who have already been using phenytoin sodi-

um capsules usually should not switch to alternative medications, so the health service was forced to pay the higher prices, the regulator said.

“Businesses are generally free to set prices as they see fit, but those holding a dominant position should not abuse this situation and set prices that are excessive and unfair,” Philip Marsden, chairman of the CMA’s case decision group for the investigation, said in a statement issued with the announcement.

Pfizer was given 30 working days to four months to cut prices for the drug.

The regulator also said it would be allowed to charge prices that are profitable but not excessive.

Pfizer said it refutes the CMA’s findings. The medication was “a loss-making product” for the company, Pfizer said in a formal statement.

The fine and ruling “highlights real policy and legal issues concerning the respective roles of both the Department of Health and the CMA, in regulating the price of pharmaceutical products in the U.K.,” Pfizer added, saying it will seek clarity on the issues as part of its appeal.

@briantruitt USA TODAY

We’ve already seen five bigbudget Spider-Man films. Get ready for the first Peter Parker movie.

Tom Holland follows up his introduction as the wall-crawling Marvel hero in last May’s Captain America: Civil War and digs into the daily life of the New York City teenager underneath the mask in Spider-Man: Homecoming (in theaters July 7). Directed by Jon Watts (Cop Car), the coming-ofage story features Peter attending his high school for gifted kids, trying to impress his new benefactor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and also dealing with a pesky archenemy, the Vulture (Michael Keaton).

For Holland, it’s less an action movie and “more a character piece about this kid who’s struggling to talk to girls and also struggling to save the city,” says the 20-year-old British actor.

The first trailers will be unveiled online Thursday.

Homecoming begins with Peter wrestling with a return to his normal life in Queens after being recruited by Stark and surviving his first huge superhero battle (see: Civil War).

Taking the subway to school again for his sophomore year is tough for the kid.

In a just world, Beyoncé will take the stage on Feb. 12 to accept the album-of-the-year Grammy Award for her audacious, emotional masterpiece Lemonade.

But don’t start engraving her trophy just yet.

By most accounts, the pop star should be a shoo-in for the Recording Academy’s top prize.

Leading the pack with nine total nominations, Lemonade is the most critically acclaimed of the five album nominees (the others are Adele’s 25, Drake’s Views, Justin Bieber’s Purpose and Sturgill Simpson’s A Sailor’s Guide to Earth). With its unapologetic celebration of black identity, headline-grabbing allusions to infidelity and surprise release as an hour-long visual on HBO in April, it’s also safe to say that no one album captured the cultural zeitgeist as effectively — or ambitiously — as Beyoncé’s sixth studio effort.

But the genre-bending singer has twice been passed over for album of the year in favor of safer, similarly acclaimed records: Taylor Swift’s Fearless, which overtook Beyoncé’s I Am ... Sasha Fierce in 2010; and Beck’s Morning Phase, which inspired a Kanye West stage-rushing fake-out when it won over her self-titled fifth album last year. Rock has historically been catnip to academy voters, which could pave the way to a win for bluesy country

ALBERTO E. RODRIGUEZ, GETTY IMAGES, FOR DISNEY

The gang’s all here: Holland with his co-stars Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori and Jacob Batalon at Comic-Con in July.

“He literally just went to Europe with the coolest clique of them all,” says co-producer Eric Hauserman Carroll. “And now he’s back with the academic decathlon and the mathletes and going, ‘What am I doing here?’ ” Both the previous Spidey incarnations — in the 2000s with Tobey Maguire and the more recent pair of Andrew Garfield movies — featured Peter getting his powers through a radioactive spider bite and his Uncle Ben’s wise words (“With great power comes great responsibility”) becoming a heroic mantra.

But Homecoming is skipping that backstory.

The filmmakers want to focus on his life as a teen crushing on girls and navigating his formative years, albeit with really cool abilities.

“This is really a movie where Spider-Man’s not the finished article,” Holland says. “He really does learn, and he makes massive

mistakes. It’s nice to see a kid do that and then try to rectify those mistakes.”

Peter is also still figuring out the high-tech suit Stark gave him.

The getup fans saw in Civil War “can do a lot more than he even realizes right now,” says producer and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. In Homecoming,

GRAMMYS 2017 ANALYSIS

CAN ANYONE BEAT BEYONCÉ FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR? Beyoncé led the Grammy Awards nominations with nine, and Drake, Kanye West and Rihanna all tied for second with eight each. But what does it all mean?

And who’s likely to win?

USA TODAY’s Patrick Ryan and Maeve McDermott break it all down.

JUSTIN SULLIVAN, GETTY IMAGES

“you begin to see just how much Tony Stark loves bells and whistles.”

The young supporting cast includes Jacob Batalon as Peter’s best friend Ned Leeds, Laura Harrier as his dream girl Liz Allan, Tony Revolori as bully Flash Thompson and Zendaya as their classmate Michelle.

Marisa Tomei reprises her Civil War role as Peter’s Aunt May, and Keaton co-stars as the movie’s resident bad guy Adrian Toomes, an average Joe with criminal tendencies and a wicked wing suit.

“The first time we see the Vulture is terrifying,” Holland teases.

“It’s like a horror movie: really scary, very intense and shocking.”

The Spidey foe is different from other Marvel baddies such as Thanos and Ultron, Watts says.

“It’s fun to think that if SpiderMan is a regular kid who becomes a superhero, there’s got to be a bunch of regular guys who become supervillains, too.”

singer Simpson, whose major-label debut A Sailor’s Guide to Earth has been hailed as a songwriting triumph by music critics.

Also working against Lemonade: It hasn’t racked up nearly the numbers of Adele’s top-selling 25, Drake’s streaming juggernaut Views or even Bieber’s triple-platinum-certified Purpose. The latter two will likely settle for their first album-of-the-year nominations as lead artists, though Adele could pose a serious threat to Beyoncé in the category. After all, the British powerhouse is a 10time Grammy winner whose 21 swept the top prizes in 2011. And while 25 wasn’t as rapturously received by critics as the former, its astonishing 9.1 million copies sold (and counting) show that fan interest hasn’t waned.

But if there’s one thing most people can agree on about Beyoncé, it’s that she’s a tireless, captivating performer — and the “flawless” diva has certainly done her part this past year in trying to win over all sectors of America: on tour, at the Super Bowl and during multiple awards shows (including last month’s CMA Awards, where she performed with the Dixie Chicks). Factor in song nominations in rock (Don’t Hurt Yourself ), rap (Freedom) and pop (Hold Up) categories, and Lemonade’s crossover appeal could finally land her the Grammys’ highest honor.

Hearing rescheduled for man accused of abandoning baby

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

The preliminary hearing for a Lawrence man accused of leaving his 9-month-old stepdaughter in an apartment complex’s dumpster was rescheduled on Wednesday.

The man, Marquis Young, 27, faces felony charges

of attempted first-degree murder and abuse of a child stemming from the July 7 incident in the 2500 block of West Sixth Street. He also faces a single charge of violating his probation.

Young was transferred to the Douglas County Jail in October after he served a sentence in Johnson County

DEATHS

stemming from a domestic battery conviction.

On Wednesday morning, Young appeared in Douglas County District Court for a preliminary hearing. However, both defense attorney Adam Hall and District Attorney Charles Branson requested that the hearing be rescheduled.

The purpose of a preliminary hearing is for a judge to determine whether enough evidence exists to order a defendant to stand trial.

Both attorneys said they needed more time to look over the case’s substantial amount of evidence, and Branson said one witness was unable to attend

Wednesday’s hearing due to an ongoing scheduling conflict.

District Court Judge Paula Martin granted Branson and Hall’s request and scheduled Young to appear back in court at 9 a.m. Jan. 24.

Young remains an inmate in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of a $100,000 bond.

New House speaker advises incoming lawmakers to avoid cliques Wichita (ap) — The newly elected speaker of the Kansas House has advised incoming lawmakers to avoid cliques.

Republican Rep. Ron Ryckman has encouraged new lawmakers to avoid sticking to one of the competing groups within the state Republican Party, the Wichita Eagle reported.

Conservatives and moderates have fought for control of the party for decades. Under Gov. Sam Brownback, the conservative wing has been dominant in recent years.

But more moderates made major gains in this year’s election and could cast deciding votes as lawmakers grapple with the state’s budget shortfall and work

to create a new school finance formula.

The state currently faces a nearly $350 million budget gap for the fiscal year, making that a priority to address.

Newly elected Republican Rep. Leo Delperdang said the two sides will have to come together.

“They don’t have a choice, because if they

don’t — and you can quote this — there’s going to be a bloodbath in two years,” he said.

Ryckman, a Johnson County businessman, is currently the House budget committee’s chairman.

He was chosen by House Republicans on Monday to be the new speaker, and he will officially take over that role in January.

KU women fall to Harvard, 69-59

By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Jackson an overachiever, great talent all in one

P

Kansas women’s basketball coach Brandon Schneider chose to shake things up after his team had dropped its last two games Wednesday.

“I was just trying to get a little bit of a better start,” Schneider said. “Just trying to get a little bit of a pop.

I did think we got off to a good start. We played with pretty good energy.”

However, even though the start was better, the re-

sult was much the same.

Harvard (8-1) scored 35 combined second-half points, including 22 in the fourth quarter, to hand KU (3-5) a 69-59 loss at Allen Fieldhouse. With the win, the Crimson have now tied their program’s best win streak of eight straight games.

“We didn’t play with the kind of collective effort and toughness that you have to play with consistently to be competitive in a game like this,” Schneider said. “They are having a terrific season.

But we have to play hard ev-

ery tick of the clock to give yourself a chance to win.”

But for a brief moment following the tipoff, it looked as if the Jayhawks just might get back in the win column.

Schneider trotted out a starting five of Chelsea Lott, Timeka O’Neal, Jayde Christopher, Chayla Cheadle and Kylee Kopatch. Both Chistopher and O’Neal were getting their first start, while Lott earned her second.

ests on a basketball court don’t stand 6-foot-8. They’re 5-8.

They don’t make it to the top of the national high school recruiting rankings.

They make the team on the last cut in high school because they forced their way onto the roster with sheer hustle.

A pesky pest doesn’t play that way because it’s how he dreamed of playing from the moment he made his first basket as a small child. He does it because if he relented for a minute, he would have to sit and watch more talented athletes hog all the minutes.

So how do you explain Kansas freshman Josh Jackson? You don’t. You just enjoy watching him play in the face of his opponent, stealing rebounds, passes, loose balls.

Regardless of the strength of the foe, Jackson plays as if tryouts have come down to the final cut and his ability to disrupt the opponent represents his best chance to see his name posted on the locker room door along with the rest of the taller, more skilled, more naturally gifted basketball players.

Jackson is what happens when the spirit of an overachiever percolates inside a remarkable athlete. Put him on the perimeter with two extremely talented, experienced, tough guards in Frank Mason and Devonte’ Graham, and watch him get better right before your Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo eyes.

Oxon Hill, Md. (ap) — Wade Davis already had closed out a World Series. And that was part of his appeal for the Chicago Cubs.

In a trade between the last two champions, the Cubs acquired the All-Star reliever from the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday for outfielder Jorge Soler. Davis immediately takes over the spot held by Aroldis Chapman, who became a free agent after the Cubs won their first title since 1908.

“Wade is going to pitch the ninth inning,” Cubs general manager Jed Davis Hoyer said.

Davis has done especially well in the postseason and helped the Royals win the 2015 crown. In 27 1/3 career postseason innings as a reliever, he has Soler a 0.33 ERA with 39 strikeouts. The 31-year-old righty went 2-1 with 27 saves in 30 chances and a 1.87 ERA last season. He spent time on the disabled with a forearm injury and was limited to 43 1/3 innings, but returned to pitch in September.

Hoyer said Royals GM Dayton Moore allowed the Cubs’ trainer to examine Davis earlier in the day, and the medical report was fine.

“He looks fantastic,” Hoyer said.

The 24-year-old Soler hit .238 with 12 home runs and 31

Raiders visit Chiefs with AFC West, playoff implications drought, not to mention the potential for a firstround playoff bye and a home game in the second round.

“We know the type of game it is, big game,” Chiefs wide receiver Albert Wilson said. “The Chiefs and Raiders have a long history against each other. You understand the importance and what you’re playing for, but you have to treat it like any other game.”

Good luck with that.

The Raiders are trying to win their seventh straight for the first time since 1976, when they later beat the Vikings in the Super Bowl. And they’re trying to reach the 11-win plateau for the first time since 2002, a season that also ended in the Super

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Raiders and Chiefs are such bitter foes that not even a late-season game between losing teams with no hope of a division title or playoff berth would take away the importance of a matchup.

Now, consider the stakes when they meet tonight.

The Raiders are 10-2 and leading the AFC West, one of the surprise teams in the NFL, while the Chiefs are 9-3, with a win over Oakland already in their pocket. The winner of their prime-time matchup at frosty Arrowhead Stadium will have the inside track on ending a lengthy division title

Bowl with a loss to the Buccaneers.

The Chiefs have won seven of their last eight, a stretch that began with a 26-10 win in Oakland on Oct. 16, and have won four straight against their old AFL rivals. And while the Raiders are chasing their first division title since 2002 , the Chiefs are trying for their first since 2010 .

Significant stakes, to be sure. Just like in the 1960s, when the Raiders and Chiefs were often in contention.

“We always have old players come in and talk to us and tell us how violent the games used to be, and how physical they used to be,” Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said , “and obviously, they talk about how the game’s

changed and things like that, as all past players do. That’s really the main thing that sticks out — how violent and physical the games were. They would always talk about that.”

There’s a good chance tonight’s game looks similar.

First, the Chiefs have ferocious linebacker Justin Houston back from the knee injury that sidelined him for the first matchup.

And the Raiders counter with a defense led by Khalil Mack that shut out Buffalo for most of the second half last week, allowing Oakland to rally for a 38-24 victory.

Then, consider the weather: The forecast calls for temperatures in the teens at kickoff, with

prospects think the best way to impress NBA scouts is to show that a perceived weakness is actually a strength. Jackson’s jumper trails the rest of his game. Many in his situation would go out of their way to showcase it to try to show it’s better than advertised. In reality, what scouts look for are athletes smart enough to figure out the best way to make as many winning plays as possible during a game.

Jackson passes that test nightly, which makes him a terrific teammate.

He works on the jumper behind the scenes and in fact made a nice one in Tuesday’s game, but most of his shots came closer to the hoop.

“We played great, shot the ball great,” he said. “But I think he probably would’ve been just as proud if it was a knock-down, dragout, hard-fought game where we couldn’t make a basket and got it done on the defensive end. That’s kind of always been his M.O. Either way would’ve been a good memory for him, I’m sure.”

“It would’ve been nice,” Tyler joked. “But that didn’t have any effect on the night. I think the coolest part was the video (of 15 former players congratulating Self after the game). I think it speaks volumes of not only the coach he is, but the person he is and the things he tries to get out of the guys he’s coaching.”

er Jeremy Maclin has missed four games with a groin injury, but he’s been practicing the past couple of weeks and there’s optimism he’ll be available.

“If that’s the case, it’ll be an awesome addition,” Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. “Jeremy is a special player.”

Series dominance The Chiefs have won six of the last seven in the series, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio is winless against Kansas City in three tries with the silver and black, and Smith is 8-1 against the Raiders in his career. “I don’t know if you can lump them together,” Smith said.

“You try to play the chess game here in the rematch: Maclin in the saddle what is different, what can Chiefs wide receiv- we change?” felt good about that,” O’Neal said. “We just have to maintain the lead and have enough energy.”

To start the second quarter, Schneider again went to his first rotation.

Kansas reclaimed the lead, going on an 8-3 run before going back to the bench.

This time, however, the Crimson was unable to gain much separation before the intermission as they held onto a onepoint advantage.

For a brief moment to start the second half, the original fivesome trotted back onto the court. But they would not replicate their first half success, falling into an early hole before Schneider went back to the bench.

The starting unit ended the night outscoring its opponent, 18-6, but in a very small sample size.

“We didn’t really play as a team,” O’Neal said.

“We are very capable of beating the teams we have lost to. We just need to figure something out and come together.”

But it wouldn’t matter which lineup took the floor in the second half as Harvard cruised to a double-digit victory.
