Subcontractors say they’re owed for HERE work

DOUGLAS COUNTY JAIL

Rapid rise in female inmates hinders operations, programs

Liens filed by companies total more than $665K

By Conrad Swanson

Local contractors, masons, equipment rental companies and more all claim they’re owed money for the work they’ve done on the newlyopened, multimilliondollar HERE apartment complex.

In November the Journal-World reported legal action by one company, RealState Investments LLC, claiming it is owed $169,115 for increased costs due to the site’s mismanagement.

However, alongside RealState, at least six other companies have filed seven similar actions, called mechanic’s liens, in Douglas County District Court. Together, the group claims it is owed more than $665,000.

olene Ami took an unusual step when she was released in 2014 from the Douglas County Jail after serving a six-month sentence for her third DUI offense.

“You know what I did?” she said. “I sent a thank-you card to the judge who sentenced me. Jail was the best thing that ever happened to me.”

A month into her sentence, she decided to take advantage of programs the jail offered to help her stop drinking, 48-year-old Ami said.

She learned to confront and deal with feelings she kept bottled up since childhood.

However, the County Commission decided in April that a November referendum would not give the then 1-month-old Criminal Justice Coordinating Council enough time to review the county’s criminal justice system. The group is studying, among other issues, alternatives to incarceration that could impact the size and scope of the jail project.

It will be the next County Commission that will make the decisions on whether the jail expansion goes forward, what it would look like, how any bond issue would be presented and when. In January, newly elected 3rd District Commissioner Michelle Derusseau will join Mike Gaughan and Nancy Thellman on the commission.

Gaughan, who represents the County Commission on the coordinating council, said he assumed the County

maximum risk classifications. Inmates in the minimum security pod enjoy more privileges, including more out-of-cell time than those in the medium pod, who, in turn, have more privileges than those in the maximum pod.

That system, which rewards good behavior, breaks down in the female pod because correctional officers won’t place low-risk inmates in danger by putting them in physical contact with inmates with higher classifications.

Because of the space constraints, minimum security female inmates get about 3.5 hours outof-cell time a day compared to the six to eight hours that men with that classification enjoy.

“There are times you can walk into the women’s pod and there is one person out, and everybody else is in their cells,” Myers said. “People who are behaving themselves are getting less time out.”

“They may leave an abusive relationship only to go into another one. For a lot of our females, they may talk about wanting to make changes or leave an abusive relationship, but as soon as they hit the lobby, their abuser is waiting for them.”

More women who could benefit from trauma therapy or the cognitive behavioral therapy, which was of such help to Ami, must now serve all or much of their time in other counties, Brouwer said. Re-entry staff spend far less time with female inmates, and the jail “really doesn’t currently have a female work release program,” Brouwer said.

Also to be included with the jail proposal would be a 14-bed female mental health pod with such features as natural light and an outdoor gathering area for therapeutic benefit. The population of inmates with mental illness is another demographic that has increased since the facility opened, and such individuals now account for 17 percent of the jail’s population. The problem is even more acute among women, with 30 percent of female inmates diagnosed with mental health issues. That increase once again has jail staff balancing the needs of a diverse population.

“One of the biggest challenges with the population of women with mental health issues is trying to cater to their needs while providing the safety and security for not only them but other people without those same needs,” Myers said.

“And with that, there is one officer on duty for the entire housing unit.”

EDITORS Chad Lawhorn, editor 832-6362, clawhorn@ljworld.com

The increasing female population creates a number of concerns at the Douglas County Jail, the most pressing being the need to “farm” inmates out to jails in Anderson, Allen, Chase, Jefferson, Jackson and Leavenworth counties. Female inmates account for a third of the $1 million the county will pay this year to house prisoners in other counties. Out-of-county placements can be for extended times as inmates await court dates or serve sentences, or for shorter spans as the county jail makes room for the weekends when populations spike with more arrests and an influx of inmates opting to serve required jail time when they are not working, Brouwer said.

Inmates placed in other counties are separated from children and other loved ones, have fewer opportunities to participate in the jail’s nationally recognized re-entry program and face challenges in communicating with defense attorneys, Brouwer said.

Despite all that, there are women pleased with out-of-county transfers.

The reason, Myers said, was the greater privileges they enjoy in those jails.

The Douglas County Jail has three pods for men in custody, which segregates inmates by minimum, medium and

Jail officials do know there is a correlation between abuse and the inmate population. All women brought to the Douglas County Jail, even those released after booking, are screened for trauma, Brouwer said.

Jail staff then seeks to get those women who are experiencing abuse involved with programs and community partners to help break what may be lifetime patterns. Brouwer said the Willow Domestic Violence Center offers weekly classes at the jail and continues to assist about 15 women annually after they leave the jail.

“Trauma may always have been part of their lives, so leaving that lifestyle and moving to a new one is very difficult,” Brouwer said.

Commission would put before voters a proposal much like the one in the plans Treanor presented in January, from which the firm is now working to develop more detailed plans. The jail expansion remained important to him and necessary, as is the crisis intervention center, he said.

“I would say this is an issue we’ve been working (on) with the sheriff and the team out at the county jail for three years now,” he said. “Part and parcel with that is the continued work of the coordinating council to see what new initiatives we can take to divert away from the jail.”

He hadn’t talked with Derusseau about the jail expansion, but said any decision on the issue would come after she indicated she was ready to vote on a proposal, Gaughan said.

Any bond referendum to build the jail will almost certainly have to overcome organized opposition. The interfaith coalition Justice Matters released a position statement in the week before the November general

election calling for the county to end spending on jail planning, move forward immediately with the crisis intervention center and hire consultants from the Vera Institute or the Justice Management Institute to work with the coordinating council to identify incarceration alternatives.

Justice Matters is also associated with the informal group Douglas County for Jail Alternatives, which has received logistical support for the meetings it has held the last six months from the Kansas Appleseed Center for Law and Justice. Benet Magnuson, Appleseed executive director, said a complete data-driven review that studies alternatives to incarceration was a more humane and effective way to deal with jail overcrowding than a building program.

In other jurisdictions, the implementation of reforms identified in comprehensive reviews have significantly reduced jail populations, Magnuson said. He points to Johnson County’s responses to overcrowding at its

juvenile corrections facility. The neighboring county built what he said was one of the nicest correctional facilities he has ever seen. However, that facility is now empty because Johnson County also conducted a comprehensive review of juvenile justice reforms and now has only a handful of juveniles incarcerated.

“I sure would want to build a jail after a comprehensive study, rather than before,” he said.

In anticipation of the coming debate, the Lawrence Journal-World in the coming weeks and months will examine the current challenges at the jail from overcrowding and how the jail expansion would address them; review of the reforms and programs the county already has in places, in plans or is studying in order to reduce the jail population; and look of the proposals and alternative solutions critics of a jail building program propose.

“That’s definitely something we are looking to add,” she said. “We need to make sure the companies getting incentives and assistance from the city are being good citizens. That means taking care of taxes and taking care of the companies that are working for them.”

Essentially a mechanic’s lien states a given subcontractor has invested time, labor or materials in a property, for which the subcontractor has not been paid.

Once a lien has been filed, a subcontractor may then file a petition to foreclose on the lien, encumbering the property’s title.

The liens were filed between Sept. 20 and Dec. 1, 2016, and the claims range from $14,857 to $184,710,

court records show.

So far only RealState and a regional company named Rew Materials — which claims it is owed $150,258.99 — have filed petitions to foreclose on their liens.

Each of the eight liens list HERE Lawrence Property Owner LLC as the owner of the complex at 1101 Indiana St., and all but one of the liens list Stevens Construction, of Madison, Wisc., as the project’s general contractor who the subcontractors say failed to pay its bills.

The eighth lien, filed

by Fabricor Inc., of Kansas City, Mo., lists Casework Solutions LLC, of New Century, Kan., as the general contractor.

Representatives from Stevens Construction did not respond to emails or phone calls seeking comment for this story.

John Kitson, vice president of construction management for CA Student Living, the developer for HERE Lawrence, said in a written statement the company has a contract with Stevens Construction but not with any of the other subcontractors hired for the project.

Kitson said his 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.”

Abe Tekippe, another representative for CA Student Living, said HERE’s owners have done over $375 million worth of additional developments with Stevens Construction. He would not say, however, whether additional mechanic’s

liens have been filed with Stevens Construction’s other projects.

In RealState’s petition to foreclose on its lien, the business cited Stevens Construction’s persistent mismanagement of the job site.

When the company arrived to install cabinets, countertops and sinks late in the process “the project was behind schedule” and other subcontractors finished work outside of their scope, the petition says.

Often workers would arrive on the scene to find their tools or materials had been moved or were missing and much of the work was rushed, the petition says.

In July 59-year-old Harry Klausen, a worker for Builders Stone and Masonry, of Olathe, was seriously injured after a

Woman arrested on suspicion of battery in Bragg incident

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

A 19-year-old woman was arrested Friday afternoon for suspicion of battery in the same incident allegedly involving University of Kansas basketball player Carlton Bragg Jr., according to Douglas County Jail records.

The woman, who is a KU student according to the university’s directory, was booked into jail at 4:42 p.m. Friday with the same

case number as that assigned to Bragg. A spokesman at the jail early Saturday afternoon said the woman remained in custody.

A call Saturday to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office was unanswered.

Further details about what led to the woman’s arrest were not immediately available. The Journal-World is not naming the woman, given that she has not been charged.

Bragg was arrested and charged

with battery Friday, after reportedly striking a woman and pushing her down the stairs. He pleaded not guilty later the same day.

Bragg was charged in Douglas County District Court with one count of battery, a misdemeanor, according to the district attorney’s office. He pleaded not guilty Friday afternoon, appearing in court via video from the Douglas County Jail.

Bragg’s bond was set at $500, and he was released from jail

support, and David Cunningham, executive director of human relations and legal counsel — arrives on the heels of an investigation into racist comments allegedly made this semester by a South Middle School teacher. That investigation, the findings of which have never been revealed

by the district, recently ended with the resignation of the accused teacher amid much media attention and public speculation. The district also confirmed on Thursday, after being confronted with a Kansas Open Records request by the Journal-World, that it had entered into a settlement

agreement with the teacher, and the agreement included provisions to withhold information from the public about the investigation in exchange for a promise that the district would not be sued.

the creation of 33 new angled parking spaces in front of the building.

The project initially asked for an 85 percent tax rebate, but commissioners cut it to 50 percent.

When outside consultants hired by the city reviewed the project, it said the 85 percent abatement request penciled out OK for the city. The project would return $1.36 in benefits to the city for every $1 in public incentives that was granted.

The city’s threshold is $1.25 in benefits for every $1 of incentives.

Commissioners approved the 50 percent rebate on a 4-1 vote with Commissioner Matthew Herbert voting against it.

Contrast that with this week’s denial of a tax rebate for a downtown office and condo project that former City Commissioner Bob Schumm had proposed. Schumm was seeking a 75 percent tax rebate for a project that would include office space on the first two floors and 12 condos on floors three through five. One of the one-bedroom condos would be enrolled in an affordable housing program, selling for about $95,000.

Outside consultants hired by the city gave Schumm’s project a thumbs up. The consultants said the project would deliver $1.78 in benefits for every $1 in incentives.

Importantly, the project included a 22-space, underground parking garage for use by the condo owners and other tenants of the building. That’s important because downtown zoning

doesn’t require projects to provide any off-street parking. It is legal for new projects to be built and simply fight for the spaces in the existing public parking lots and garages.

The Vermont Street project got rejected on a 3-2 vote, with Commissioners Herbert, Lisa Larsen and Leslie Soden voting against. The projects in many ways seem pretty similar, so you may be wondering why one got an incentive and the other didn’t. The answer likely is in the percentage. Commissioners reduced the amount of incentive in the East Lawrence project from 85 percent to 50 percent. I’m told by City Hall reporter Rochelle Valverde that Schumm’s attorney early in the meeting said his client wasn’t willing to go below the 75 percent level. Larsen had inquired about whether Schumm was willing to go below the 75 percent level. There also was some concern that one of the condos was set to be Schumm’s personal residence, but that seemed like an easy problem to fix: Just reduce the amount of the rebate by the projected tax value of that one particular condo, if you don’t want to give someone a tax break on his personal residence.

The takeaway from the rejection seems to be the price sheet has changed with this commission. It used to be that a residential project in downtown Lawrence that provided its own parking garage was worth about an 85 percent tax rebate. Look at the development at Ninth and New

Hampshire streets, for example. That’s how bad past city commissions wanted additional residential development in downtown, and they placed a high value on projects that provided their own parking. It now looks like 50 percent is closer to the going rate.

Good, bad or indifferent, getting people to live downtown, and getting private developers to help add to the parking inventory in downtown, isn’t worth as much as it once was. Maybe the commission has just seen there is no shortage of apartment construction going on in the city without incentives.

Still, adding living units to downtown has been a major policy goal of past commissions. It will be interesting to see if this change in practice is a sign of other changes in downtown thinking from the commission. At some point, the city may get asked to support a fairly significant incentive request for a downtown grocery store. The downtown grocery store has been an important project, in part, because it would attract more residences downtown. I’ve long thought that a downtown grocery project probably would have the easiest time of any project in the city when it comes to garnering incentives. But, maybe not.

There is no denying this City Commission is taking a harder line on the issue.

where the public is a partner? That is the case in the instance of projects that receive public incentives.

The public is forgoing the collection of some future tax revenues in order to help the project succeed.

Oftentimes, the amount of tax runs into the millions of dollars. Anyone making that type of investment in a project should be entitled to basic information such as who is operating there.

This may be just one example where we learn that as incentives become more commonplace, the law needs to be tweaked to keep pace. l On the incentive front, local developers probably are trying to figure out what to make of City Hall policy right now.

The last 30 days or so have provided an interesting opportunity to compare and contrast how the city handles incentive requests.

On Nov. 1, the City Commission approved a 50 percent tax rebate for an East Lawrence project that would convert an old warehouse building into a microbrewery, a restaurant and 14 apartments.

Two of those apartments will be enrolled into an affordable housing program, although it has been noted the projected rent rates for the new one-bedroom apartments will still be greater than median rent rates charged in the city.

City priorities Let’s hope the state recognizes the wisdom of adding lanes to SLT and of respecting the city on gun rules.

O

f the 23 issues that city commissioners identified as legislative priorities for Lawrence, there are two that rise to the top: expanding the western section of the South Lawrence Trafficway from two to four lanes and extending the city’s exemption to the state’s open carry law.

The South Lawrence Trafficway extends Kansas Highway 10 for 15 miles from the eastern edge of Lawrence to the western connection with Interstate 70.

The seven-mile eastern section is a new four-lane highway that opened last month and runs from the trafficway’s intersection with Iowa Street east to the connection with K-10.

The opening of the eastern section was long awaited and deservedly celebrated.

But now that the highway is open for the full 15 miles, the weakness of the western segment has been exposed. Much of the stretch from Iowa Street to I-70 is a twolane highway. As traffic increases on the roadway now that the eastern section is open, it won’t be long before the two-lane segment becomes a traffic bottleneck.

The Kansas Department of Transportation’s future plan for the trafficway is a four-lane divided highway for the entire 15-mile stretch. That’s one of the major reasons KDOT has given for resisting a traffic signal at the highway’s intersection with Kasold.

But given how frequently the state has shifted money out of the state highway fund to shore up its budget, it’s hard to put a timetable on the trafficway work.

The city is right to prioritize the expansion lest another quarter century pass before the roadwork is done.

“The City applauds KDOT for the completion of the South Lawrence Trafficway (SLT) in 2016 and encourages the State to fund the four-lane expansion of the west leg of K-10,” the city’s priority list states.

“Now that the four-lane, eastern leg of K-10 has been opened, traffic on the western leg of K-10 between I-70 and Iowa Street has increased. Funding to expand the lanes and improve the safety of atgrade intersections should be identified.”

On the open carry issue, Mayor Mike Amyx suggested that stronger language be added to an existing entry supporting an extension of the exemption period for a handgun ban in city buildings.

The city’s exemption to the state’s new open carry law is set to expire in January 2018. Once the exemption expires, the city would have to install “adequate security measures” in each city building in order to prohibit concealed weapons.

The city has approximately 50 venues and City Manager Tom Markus said installing security measures — metal detectors and guards — would be expensive.

“Cities should be allowed to determine whether the carrying of concealed firearms (is) permitted in city facilities, and what security measures are appropriate,” the city’s priorities state. “We request the law be amended to return these decisions to local governing bodies. In the alternative, we request the exemption period be extended an additional ten years.”

The city’s request to set its own rules for its facilities is sensible and reasonable. One would hope that the Legislature would see the wisdom in allowing for such local control.

Nobel laureate of 2016 revisited Washington — There has been ferment among the literati since Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Many say that however well Dylan does what he does, it is not literature. Dylan did not go to Stockholm Saturday to collect his prize, which the Swedish Academy says was awarded “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” Well, then: “God said to Abraham, ‘Kill me a son’ Abe says, ‘Man, you must be puttin’ me on’” or: “Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood With his memories in a trunk Passed this way an hour ago With his friend, a jealous monk He looked so immaculately frightful As he bummed a cigarette Then he went off sniffing drainpipes And reciting the alphabet Now you would not think to look at him But he was famous long ago For playing the electric violin On Desolation Row” The New York Times primly notes that the academy is famous for “its at times almost willful perversity in picking winners.” Scottish novelist Irvine Welsh (“Trainspotting”) professes himself “a Dylan fan” but

George Will

“

If song lyrics are literature, why did the academy discover this with Dylan and not Stephen Sondheim?” tweeted that the Nobel is “an ill-conceived nostalgia award wrenched from the rancid prostates of senile, gibbering hippies.” Strong letter to follow.

One critic says that the more than 150 books on Dylan are “a library woozy with humid overstatement and baby boomer mythology.” A sample of the humidity is: “Dylan seemed less to occupy a turning point in cultural space and time than to be that turning point.” But Dylan should not be blamed for the hyperventilating caused by DSD — Dylan Derangement Syndrome. Besides, Dylan has collected a Pulitzer Prize for “lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power,” so there.

Now 75, he was born Robert Zimmerman in Duluth, Minn., and lived in Hibbing, Minn., 150 miles from Sauk Centre, Minn., home of Sinclair Lewis, who won the 1930 Nobel for literature (“Babbitt,” “Elmer Gan-

try”). This was evidence of abruptly defining literature down: Thomas Mann won in 1929. If you recognize even one-third of the 113 literature prize winners since 1901, you need to get out of the house more. Philip Roth has not won, a fact that would cost the Swedish Academy its reputation for seriousness, if it had one.

The Weekly Standard’s Andrew Ferguson would win the Nobel Prize for Common Sense, if there were one. He notes that by not taking himself too seriously or encouraging others to do so, Dylan has “proved two propositions that seemed increasingly unlikely in the age of media-saturation: You can shun publicity and still be hugely famous, and you can be hugely famous and not be obnoxious about it.” For this, Dylan deserves some sort of prize. Ferguson laments that it is evidently impossible to take Dylan “for what he is, an impressive man worthy of admiration, affection and respect, and leave it at that.”

Impossible. In an age of ever-more-extravagant attention-getting yelps about everything, people have tumbled over one another reaching for encomia, such as this from a Harvard professor: “Dylan has surpassed Walt Whitman as the defining American artist.”

(Hawthorne, Melville, Dickinson, Wharton, Fitzgerald, Faulkner?)

If song lyrics are literature, why did the academy discover this with Dylan and not Stephen Sondheim

(from “West Side Story” on)? Last year, the literature prize was won by Belarusia’s Svetlana Alexievich whose specialty is interviews woven into skillfully wrought books (e.g., “Secondhand Time”). They are highly informative, even moving, but are they literature?

Sean Wilentz, Princeton professor of American history, grew up in New York City near the end of its red-tinged folk revival and was 13 when he attended Dylan’s 1964 concert at Manhattan’s Philharmonic Hall. Wilentz’s book “Bob Dylan in America,” which would better have been titled “America in Bob Dylan,” interestingly locates him in the stream of American culture and celebrates him for expanding his range as relentlessly as he has toured — more than 1,400 shows in this century.

Wilentz recalls how Dylan “going electric” at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival scandalized “the fetishists of authenticity,” but Dylan did not look back.

“He sees,” Wilentz says, “a kind of literature in performance.” If that is so, then is Mike Trout, baseball’s best performer, doing literature for the Los Angeles Angels? Literature is becoming a classification that no longer classifies.

Never mind. Just enjoy the music of the surprising man who in 1961 arrived in Greenwich Village and who once said “my favorite politician was Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater.”

— George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Astronaut John Glenn, the genuine article If you were old enough to tie your shoes Feb. 20, 1962, then you almost surely remember Marine Col. John H. Glenn Jr. entering the history books by becoming the first American to orbit the Earth.

During that flight, Americans, watching on their black-and-white television sets, held their collective breath after reports that there was trouble in the fiberglass heat shield of Glenn’s tiny capsule. If that heat shield had not been in its exact position during re-

Mark Shields

“

He loved his country, the Marine Corps and one woman, the thoroughly admirable Annie Glenn, to whom he was married for more than 73 years.” entry, Glenn quite simply would have been incinerated. Upon Glenn’s safe return, President John F. Kennedy flew to Cape Canaveral to welcome him back. Pablo Picasso, no major fan of America or Americans, exclaimed, “I am as proud of him as if he were my brother.’’ The biggest ticker tape parade in New York history followed. Glenn was invited to address a joint session of Congress. Schools, babies, highways and airports were named after Glenn, who continues, after his death at 95, as an enduring American hero.

Let me testify as someone who was fortunate enough to know him for almost a half-century. John Glenn was absolutely the genuine article. He loved his coun-

try, the Marine Corps and one woman, the thoroughly admirable Annie Glenn, to whom he was married and devoted for more than 73 years.

Glenn was one of Ohio’s U.S. senators for 24 years.

The difference between the grown-ups and the adolescents in public life is simple: The adolescents want to be something, whereas the grown-ups want to do something. What made this American hero exceptional was that he, unlike so many who seek high office, never needed a daily ego fix from media affirmation. He already knew what it was to be a living legend. Glenn only wanted to make a difference.

Nobody on Capitol Hill worked harder than Glenn on the critical but unglamorous issue of nuclear nonproliferation. Committed to strengthening government research and higher education, he steadfastly opposed the export of U.S. nuclear technology. That independent inspectors general are now appointed in all federal agencies is a tribute to Glenn’s efforts.

A personal reminiscence:

On May 4, 1974, I was almost certain that Glenn would someday be elected president. That was just three days before the end of an acrimonious Democratic primary battle, when Glenn debated his opponent, the appointed U.S. senator Howard Metzenbaum, who, in that anti-Vietnam War environment, had faulted “Col. Glenn’’ for never having “met a payroll.’’ The Glenn camp accused Metzenbaum of charging that Glenn had never held a job.

At the Cleveland debate, Glenn said: “I spent 23 years in the United States Marine Corps. I was through two wars. I flew 149 missions. My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different occasions. I was in the space program. It wasn’t my checkbook; it was my life that was on the line. ...

“I ask you to go with me, as I went the other day, out to a veterans hospital. Look those men out there, with their mangled bodies, in the eye and tell them they didn’t hold a job. You go with me to any gold star mother and you look her in the eye and you tell her that her son did not hold a job. ...

“You go with me on Memorial Day coming up and you stand in Arlington National Cemetery — where I have more friends than I like to remember — and you watch those waving flags.

You stand there and you think about this nation and you tell me that those people didn’t have a job.

“I tell you, Howard Metzenbaum, you should be on your knees every day of your life thanking God that there were some men — some men — who held a job.

And they required a dedication to purpose and a love of country and a dedication to duty that was more important than life itself. And their self-sacrifice is what has made this nation possible. I’ve held a job, Howard.’’

What followed was an uninterrupted 22-second standing ovation and a thumping Glenn victory, which led to his four honorable terms in the Senate.

This good man from New Concord, Ohio, never made it to the White House. But boy, did John Glenn serve his country!

— David Dillon, chair of the University of Kansas chancellor search committee

meeting the Board also voted to hire the firm of R. William Funk & Associates as search consultant and formally announced that the search process would be closed, meaning names of applicants and finalists will not be publicly shared.

Dillon, originally from Hutchinson, attended KU from 1969 to 1973.

At KU he was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. Prior to becoming student body president, Dillon said he ran for Student Senate and served as chairman of the body’s finance and auditing committee.

After earning his degree in accounting and business administration from KU, he went on to earn a law degree from Southern Methodist University.

The company he ultimately led, Kroger, based in Cincinnati, employs more than 400,000 associates serving customers in more than 3,500 supermarkets and other stores, according to Dillon’s professional biography. Kroger also operates 37 U.S. food processing plants.

Dillon had various leadership roles with Kroger before being named CEO in 2003 and elected chairman of the board of directors in 2004. He retired as CEO at the end of 2013

As student body president he also met with Chalmers and Chalmers’ brief successor, Chancellor Raymond Nichols, weekly, he said, giving him good insight into the university.

“That was a time of significant unrest around the world, a lot of that revolved around the Vietnam War ... It also was a time of significant sensitivity to the Civil Rights movement,” Dillon said.

“It was really hugely valuable.”

Dillon said he anticipated applying that experience to the current KU chancellor search process.

He’ll also draw from two key principles he said have guided him in his business career.

“I want to have and desire to have around me people who have high values,” Dillon said. “We identified clearly the values at Kroger, and we tried to make sure we lived up to those. And the times we didn’t, we tried to ’fess up to those and do better.”

Dillon said he would also apply his skills at helping a group of people articulate and achieve its goals.

“I believe in group wins, I don’t believe in individual wins,” he said.

For the KU chancellor search, that means assembling a committee that is an expression of the larger university community, helping members express what they want to see in a chancellor and selecting a small pool of the best candidates to present to the Kansas Board of Regents, he said.

“I never was, never wanted to be, never thought of myself as a one-man show,” Dillon said.

“The composition of the committee is important, because it will help reflect the various vantage points that need to be expressed in selecting a chancellor.”

Dillon said he expects the job of KU chancellor will draw internal and external candidates, from across the country and possibly internationally.

“Kansas as a state and the University of Kansas as an institution are really held high in esteem,” he said.

The Board of Regents is scheduled to announce and vote on KU chancellor search committee members during its regular meeting Wednesday in Topeka.

The Board voted in November to appoint Dillon as head of the chancellor search committee. At the same

and as chairman of the board at the end of 2014.

Dillon has maintained KU connections and currently has other leadership roles with university units. He is vice-chairman of the KU Hospital Authority Board, a position he’s held since September 2015, and currently serves on the executive committee of the KU Endowment Board of Trustees.

Beyond KU, Dillon is a member of the boards of directors of 3M, the Union Pacific Corporation and MRIGlobal and the board of trustees for the University of Cincinnati Foundation.

Dillon currently lives in Kansas City, Mo., with plans to move to the Kansas side of the state line.

He said he and his wife are building a house in Mission Hills.

His wife of 43 years, Dee Dillon, is also from Hutchinson and a KU graduate.

David Dillon said throughout his career the couple have lived in numerous states including Texas, Arizona and Ohio.

He said he’s always considered himself a Kansan and that there was no doubt they would return to the state when he retired.

When the Regents approached him about chairing the chancellor search committee he was eager to help.

“It’s an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up,” Dillon said. “It’s something that means a lot to me. The university means an awful lot to me, as well as the whole state of Kansas.”

Exxon CEO emerges as State Dept. front-runner Tillerson has no diplomatic experience but does have ties to Putin

David Jackson and Gregory Korte USA TODAY

The rise of the second tech boom in the past six years prompted warehouse spaces and lofts in San Francisco’s formerly industrial areas — once home to artists — to rapidly give way to high-end condos and live-work spaces that only start-ups with venture capital funding can afford. Artists, especially young ones, simply don’t have that kind of money.

“People don’t always have first and last month’s rent and a security deposit, they don’t make enough money for that. Say rent

NEW YORK President-elect Donald Trump is zeroing in on ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson as his secretary of State nominee.

Tillerson had his second interview with the president-elect Saturday at Trump Tower and has emerged as the favorite in the long-running competition to lead the State Department, a person familiar with the transition deliberations told USA TODAY on condition of anonymity because Trump has yet to announce his pick.

Tillerson, 64, runs the world’s sixthlargest company, one with global connections — including some with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Long known as a haven for artists, activists and folks on the fringe, the San Francisco Bay area is now largely unaffordable to the very people who made it such a beacon.

Soaring housing prices have sparked consequences where unpermitted and sometimes unsafe spaces have become the center of the arts community.

The Oakland fire last weekend that killed at least 36 people set ablaze a warehouse cluttered with impromptu — and unlicensed — artist studios and living spaces and an open second floor used for concerts and parties.

One rickety staircase was the only way down for those fleeing the fire from upstairs.

Artists fear the vibrant but semi-underground community they built could be destroyed after the blaze as city officials clamp down on potential violations in the hopes of avoiding another catastrophe.

Congress approves bill to curb online ticket scalping It would ban bots used to snap them up Michael Collins USA TODAY

The days of scalpers gobbling up tickets to popular concerts or other live events may be coming to an end.

The House gave final approval Wednesday night to legislation that would bar scalpers from using hacking software, or “bots,” to instantly buy large swaths of tickets for events. The bill awaits President Obama’s signature.

WASHINGTON

“It is time to end these anticonsumer tactics and level the online ticket playing field for fans of live entertainment,” said Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.

Scalpers often use software bots to evade computer security and buy mass quantities of tickets for concerts and other live events immediately after the tickets go on sale online. They resell the tickets at much higher prices.

The legislation, called the Better Online Ticket Sales Act, would prohibit scalpers from circumventing a security measure or other access control system used to enforce limits on ticket purchases. The ban would

Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., sponsored the House bill. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., led the Senate effort.

apply to events where there would be an audience of more than 200 people.

The bill would make it illegal to sell tickets obtained by circum-

venting such controls. Violations would be considered an “unfair and deceptive act” and subject to enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission.

Some states, including Tennessee, already have laws that make the use of bot software to buy tickets illegal, but the crime is rarely prosecuted. In Nashville, no one has ever been prosecuted for violating the law. A federal law would make it easier to crack down on the use of bot software.

Ticketmaster has its own filters to try to block bots, and some artists make sophisticated efforts to crack down on scalpers and bots.

The federal law has been sought

by venues and major touring artists.

The federal law has been supported by online ticket companies Ticketfly and StubHub. “We believe in a music economy that works for everyone — artists and fans, music venues and promoters — and we applaud passage of the BOTS Act as an excellent first step in stopping the insidious practice of ticket bots depriving consumers of fair access to tickets,” said Katie Peters, director of government relations for Pandora, which owns Ticketfly.

Dems call for hearings on hacking allegations

Culprits’ objective questioned: Chaos or a Trump win?

Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Intelligence officials have made clear that they believe the hacking of Democratic emails was directed by Russia in an attempt to interfere with U.S. elections.

The question is: Were the Russians trying to get Donald Trump elected president?

That important distinction — between causing mayhem to sow doubt in the democratic process vs. actually putting a finger on the scale for the Republican candidate — has reignited the debate over the role foreign powers may have played in the 2016 presidential election.

Democrats called for congressional investigations into the hacking Saturday, the day after President Obama ordered intelligence agencies to review the extent to which Russia and other foreign powers may have influenced presidential elections in 2008, 2012 and 2016.

Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., alleged that FBI Director James Comey had secret evidence that Russia supported Trump but that the bureau chief withheld it for partisan purposes. He offered no evidence.

“This is not fake news, OK? Intelligence agencies have identified individuals with connections to the Russian government.

There’s no doubt about that,” he told MSNBC. The man likely to take over for Reid, Sen. Chuck Schumer, DN.Y., called for congressional investigations, promising to “get to the bottom of this.”

“That any country could be meddling in our elections should shake both political parties to their core,” he said. “It’s imperative that our intelligence commu-

President-elect Donald Trump, who flew Thursday to Des Moines for one of his Thank You Tour 2016 events, has long disputed that the Russians tried to help his campaign. nity turns over any relevant information so that Congress can conduct a full investigation.”

President-elect Trump’s team continued to downplay claims of foreign interference, even criticizing the intelligence community after The Washington Post reported, based on anonymous sources, that the CIA believed Russia may have supported Trump.

“These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction,” the Trump transition office said in a statement. “The election ended a long time ago.”

Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign was besieged by a series of embarrassing revelations from leaked emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee and her campaign

chairman, John Podesta. In October, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said the leaked emails were “consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts,” and it was “confident that the Russian government directed the recent compromises of emails from U.S. persons and institutions.”

Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer, a member of Trump’s transition team, noted Saturday that allegations of Russian support have come from sources unwilling to speak on the record. He said there’s no evidence that Trump benefited from Russian actions.

“What proof does anyone have that they affected the outcome?

Because I’ve heard zero,” Spicer told CNN.

is two grand. That’s six grand to move in — that’s a lot of money for an artist or a young person,” said Rusty Blazenhoff, who has long been involved in the arts scene, including Burning Man. Real estate prices in the San Francisco Bay Area have gone through the roof in recent years.

That’s partly the result of an influx of high-paid tech workers and a dearth in home construction because of resistance from communities. The area gained 500,000 jobs but added a little less than 56,000 units of housing in the past six years, according to the California Department of Finance and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, a regional planning organization.

The average rent for a onebedroom apartment in San Francisco in 2016 was $3,373, according to Rent Jungle. In Oakland, the average for a one-bedroom was $2,778. In comparison, the average rent in New York City was $2,826, according to the site.

Blazenhoff has seen many friends deal with substandard living spaces because there was nothing else they could afford.

Some friends who live near the Oakland warehouse have dealt with problems such as sewage backing up into their living space and major structural issues.

“They don’t want to complain because they don’t have anywhere to go. It becomes a question of staying put or facing homelessness. It’s kind of ridiculous,” she said.

Oakland’s downtown area was once inexpensive but it, too, has become popular with tech companies and consequently has seen rent prices rise.

There are artist workspaces and collectives in Oakland’s Fruitvale and Jingletown neighborhoods, but even those have become too expensive.

“I’m hearing a lot of artists (are) moving to San Leandro, because it was cheaper — for about five minutes,” Blazenhoff said, referring to a working-class town 8 miles southeast of Oakland.

FACT CHECK: RUSSIA AND THE U.S. ELECTION President-elect Donald Trump rejects the possibility that Russia was behind the hacking of U.S. political organizations, including the Democratic National Committee, despite evidence to the contrary.

All 16 government intelligence agencies and at least three private security firms have independently investigated the security breaches and concluded that the Russian government — in the words of the U.S. intelligence community — “directed” the hacking “to interfere with the U.S. election process.”

Trump made his statement during an interview Nov. 28 with Time magazine.

Trump, Nov. 28: “It could be Russia. And it could be China.

And it could be some guy in his home in New Jersey.”

Here is the evidence that ties Russia to the hacking of the DNC’s servers: It was first reported June 14 that hackers had gained access to DNC servers. The DNC announced it had learned of the security breach six weeks earlier and hired the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike to investigate.

CEO Shawn Henry told MSNBC that Crowdstrike found “two separate intelligence efforts by the Russian government or operating on behalf of the Russian government.”

The next day, CrowdStrike co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch provided details of the company’s work on its website. He reported that CrowdStrike “immediately identified two sophisticated adversaries on the network – COZY BEAR and FANCY BEAR.” He wrote that “both adversaries engage in extensive political and economic espionage for the benefit of the government of the Russian Federation and are believed to be closely linked to the Russian government’s powerful and highly capable intelligence services.”

CrowdStrike was able to identify the two hackers because the methods and techniques used to attack the DNC servers and cover up their electronic tracks were similar to past cyberattacks carried out

by Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear.

Alperovitch wrote that China was among the past victims of Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear.

On June 20, The Washington Post reported that at least two other cybersecurity firms —

Ajesh Shah took a tour in 2014 as a potential tenant of the “Ghost Ship” warehouse in Oakland.

Blazenhoff said artists create spaces that draw others, often beginning a process of gentrification that in the end pushes them out. “Artists bring culture. They come here to find their people, to find their community,” she said.

MAKING SPACES

No one chooses to live or attend events in potentially hazardous spaces simply because they’re inexpensive, many in the artists’ community said. The low cost makes them accessible and malleable in way more mainstream venues never can be.

Before the blaze Dec. 2, the 10,000-square-foot building in Oakland housed an artist’s collective known as Satya Yuga and a living space known as Ghost Ship, where revelers enjoyed an electronic music party before the fire broke out. These types of spaces are not about making a buck, they’re about creating an “ambience and environment that you can tell isn’t corporatized,” said Vikram Babu, 35, an Oakland app designer.

Few seem to understand the links among unaffordable housing, a lack of good-paying jobs for working people and the creative drive that pushes artists to find less-than-ideal solutions, said Babu, who has lived in and organized independent venues for housing and performances.

“These are real, intractable problems that sprinklers aren’t going to solve,” he said.

ZONING, NOT COSTS

Others said zoning is the real culprit. Artists need space where they can make art.

That’s why they have long been drawn to warehouses and other large, industrial spaces where they could work in peace with the light and space they need.

“There’s a barrier to moving the properties from one use to another. There’s not a fluidity between zoning and permitting. So it’s years and years and hundreds of thousands of dollars you have to spend,” said Cheryl Edison, a strategist working with The Gate 510, a large mixed-use space in San Leandro. The Gate 510 began life as a Dodge Plymouth plant in the 1940s, became a mall in the 1970s, then shuttered. Today, it houses a Home Depot and brewery on the ground floor and space for artists and tech companies above. “The truth is ... these buildings are out there. But we need to re-engineer our system so that they can be shifted to different uses,” she said.

There are dying malls and derelict manufacturing spaces across the country, but without reasonable zoning transition programs, they can’t become vibrant creative spaces, Edison said.

Fidelis Cybersecurity and Mandiant — conducted independent reviews of the security breach and “have seconded CrowdStrike’s conclusion.”

The Washington Post, June 20: “Mandiant, a cyber-forensics firm owned by FireEye, based its analysis on five DNC malware samples. In a statement to The Washington Post, Mandiant researcher Marshall Heilman said that the malware and associated servers are consistent with those previously used by ‘APT 28 and APT 29,’ which are Mandiant’s names for Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear, respectively.”

It was disclosed in August that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s servers were also hacked, and on Oct. 7, WikiLeaks began to release emails obtained from the campaign account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

On Oct. 7, the Department of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Election Security issued a joint statement saying the U.S. intelligence community — which includes 16 agencies — was “confident” that recent hacks into the email systems of the Democratic Party were directed by the Russian government.

From the statement Oct. 7: “We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia’s seniormost officials could have authorized these activities.”

Seven members of the Senate Intelligence Committee — six Democrats and independent Angus King of Maine, who caucuses with them, wrote Nov. 30 to President Obama requesting more information.

In the House, Rep. Elijah Cummings, the ranking Democratic member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, called on the committee chairman to hold bipartisan hearings into Russia’s involvement in the elections.

The effort to investigate Russia has been largely limited to Democrats. One Republican — Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina — said Dec. 7 that he would not only join but lead an investigation of Russia and its role in hacking into the servers of U.S. political parties and officials.

of business experience that Donald Trump values.”

Tillerson has worked for Exxon since graduating from college with an engineering degree in 1975. He was named CEO in 2006. He has no governmental or diplomatic experience, but he has negotiated with countries all over the world for oil exploration rights, particularly in the Middle East and Russia.

Of particular interest in his Senate confirmation hearings would be the $2.2 billion Exxon investment in Russian oil exploration in the Arctic Ocean, which Tillerson negotiated in 2011. That agreement, which allowed Russian investment in other Exxon ventures around the world, was scuttled after the United States imposed sanctions over Russia’s annexation of Crimea.

Tillerson has maintained a personal relationship with Putin. Tillerson’s bio on the Exxon website boasts that the Russian leader awarded him the Order of Friendship in 2013.

Tillerson has been critical of international sanctions, saying they’re difficult to impose fairly.

He has acknowledged that climate change has been caused by human activity and has endorsed a carbon tax as “the most efficient means of reflecting the cost of carbon in all economic decisions.”

Environmental groups are likely to oppose his Senate confirmation if he’s nominated. The New York attorney general is investigating whether ExxonMobil lied to investors and consumers about the risks of climate change from burning fossil fuels.

“In this position, Tillerson will try his hardest to silence global initiatives and the right of state attorney generals to hold fossil fuel companies legally accountable for climate change,” said Annie Leonard, executive director of Greenpeace USA. The secretary of State is responsible for advancing U.S. policy on human rights. Tillerson, an

Eagle Scout, was president of the Boy Scouts of America when it began allowing gay Scouts, and in 2015, ExxonMobil changed its anti-discrimination policy to include gays and lesbians. The Human Rights Campaign remains skeptical of the company’s policy, saying it was prompted by Obama’s executive order in 2014 targeting federal contractors, not a change in corporate values.

Susan Tompor @Tompor Detroit Free Press

Already we’re seeing a push toward higher mortgage rates in anticipation of more government spending, faster economic growth and ultimately higher inflation, if President-elect Donald Trump follows through on a pro-growth agenda.

“The perception has changed,” said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst for Bankrate.com. “Think of a series of dominoes being knocked over.”

Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told the Free Press that the assumption is that interest rates will rise in a methodical way and additional rate hikes could put pressure on automotive pricing.

Higher rates nudge up monthly car payments and eventually make some vehicles less affordable for some consumers.

Initially, rate hikes raise only some car loan payments slightly.

A series of rate hikes in the next year or two would have more impact.

Monthly payments on a five-year car loan for $20,000 would be $368.33 a month with a 4% car loan rate.

The payment would climb by roughly $4.50 a month if the consumer ended up taking a car loan rate at a 4.5% rate. If the car loan rate was 5%, the monthly payment goes up by about $9 a month.

Consumers — and the automakers and others who depend on the consumer’s ability to borrow — benefited greatly from what seemed like a non-stop lowrate environment.

But low rates are not a natural result of a robust economy. Instead, rates hit bottom and stayed there only because the U.S. economy was so touch-and-go. The Fed slashed short-term rates to almost 0% in December 2008 to revive a battered U.S. economy after the financial meltdown.

Getting rates back to a normal range has been an iffy proposition for quite some time. Experts see more movement ahead.

Robert Dye, chief economist at Comerica, said the Federal Reserve is expected to raise the short-term federal funds rate by a quarter of a percentage point at the two-day meeting ending Dec. 14. After that, he forecasted two more rate hikes in 2017.

If there’s a risk here, he said, it’s that rates could rise faster than that.

“The early speculation about Trumponomics suggests that the risk to our interest rate outlook

If the Fed raises rates as expected this week, it would be the second rate hike since December 2015. Last year’s rate hike was the first time the Federal Reserve raised rates since 2006.

Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Analytics, said if Trump is able to implement fiscal stimulus — including deficit-financed tax cuts and increased government spending — shortterm interest rates would probably go up more quickly during a Trump presidency.

“Stimulus added to an economy already near full employment will generate greater inflationary pressures, resulting in a more hawkish response by the Fed,” Zandi said.

Zandi said the odds are high that the Federal Reserve will nudge rates up Wednesday.

“Unemployment is low and falling, inflation is near their target, and financial markets and the global economy are stable,” Zandi said. “All the conditions for a rate hike are in place.”

U.S. forces Takata recall to speed up Exploding air bags blamed for deaths of 11 people in USA Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

U.S. auto safety regulators are forcing automakers to speed up the largest recall in U.S. history to replace defective air bags made

by Japanese auto supplier Takata.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday that it had issued an order forcing automakers to prioritize speedy acquisition of parts and fix the vehicles most at risk before moving on to other vehicles.

The agency said the recall will affect about 42 million vehicles in the USA, totaling about 64 million to 69 million air-bag inflators.

The NHTSA issued a series of

deadlines based on the age of the vehicles. Older vehicles in hot, humid climates get priority because they’re most at risk.

The agency requires automakers to acquire replacement parts from additional sources and to achieve certain completion rates in a series of deadlines over the next several years.

The NHTSA released an updated list of vehicles that have been or will be affected by the sweeping recall.

Virtually all automakers are affected by the recall, which could affect about one-quarter of all vehicles on the road. The list includes, for the first time, the Tesla Model S electric vehicle. The list can be found at: http://www. safercar.gov/rs/takata/takatalist. html.

Exploding Takata air bags have been blamed for the deaths of at least 11 people in U.S. accidents and at least 184 injuries and other incidents in foreign countries.

GETTY IMAGES

“NHTSA is doing everything possible to make sure that there are no more preventable injuries or deaths.”

Administrator Mark Rosekind

“NHTSA is doing everything possible to make sure that there are no more preventable injuries or deaths because of these dan-

gerous air bag inflators,” NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind said in a statement.

The announcement comes as Takata grapples with a financial crisis that could tip the company into bankruptcy.

The NHTSA said Takata’s financial struggles won’t affect the speed of the recall because automakers are on the hook to replace the defective parts regardless of their supplier’s future.

Regulators say the Takata inflators contain defective propellant that degrades over time, especially in hot, humid conditions, so they are forcing automakers to replace older vehicles in hot, humid climates before replacing newer models.

The NHTSA aims to conclude all of the models by 2020.

Vehicle owners are urged to get free recall repairs as soon as they receive notices from their dealership.

GOT WI-FI WOES? GOOGLE UNLEASHES CHEAPER RIVAL I’m not ditching my eero, but Google makes strong case

‘Super Mario Run’ comes to iPhones Free download from Nintendo will be available this week

Ed Baig

ebaig@usatoday.com @edbaig USA TODAY

Brett Molina @brettmolina23 USA TODAY

NEW YORK As a fix to the slowpoke Internet connectivity I’d tolerated for way too long, eero’s wireless home networking system earned a well-earned spot on my best products of the year list.

Now along comes Google with a similar system called Google Wifi, which in my tests performed just about as well. And it bludgeoned eero in one very important comparative measure — price.

Both eero and Google Wifi are built around so-called “mesh” networking technology, in which you strategically place individual routers, or what Google refers to as Wi-Fi points, around the house. These boxes communicate with one another to manage and intelligently distribute Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the home.

In my house, I hooked up the first of three Google Wifi units to a FIOS modem in my basement, using an Ethernet cable. Apart from power cords, that cable was the only wired connection that was required.

Incidentally, the power cord relies on the emerging USB-C standard.

I placed a second and third Google Wifi unit in my living room and in an upper bedroom, respectively, the same locations where I positioned eeros. Google recommends placing these Wi-Fi points in an open space, no more than two rooms away if possible.

You complete the setup by following along through an app on the phone, very simple.

PERSONAL TECH

CHEAPER THAN EERO

According to Google, a single unit provides Wi-Fi coverage for a 1,500-square-foot home, two

Google Wifi delivers some zippy speed. units up to double that space and three units up to a 4,500-squarefoot area.

A Google Wifi three-pack costs $299, undercutting the $499 eero by $200. If you need just one (or want to add on later), an individual Google Wifi unit costs $129, vs. $199 for a single eero.

Where the eeros are roughly 1inch square boxes, Google Wifi units are not quite 3-inch-tall hockey pucks. In other words, neither takes up much room, and neither is an eyesore.

Google isn’t entirely new to the Wi-Fi game. Last year, with partners such as Asus and Chinese networking company TP-Link, Google unveiled cylindrical OnHub branded routers that, unlike

the geeky-looking contraptions with antennas sticking out, were more typical of router designs that were meant to be prominently displayed.

If you own an OnHub or buy a new one — originally around $200, they’re now being heavily discounted — you can add it to your Google Wifi mesh network.

Google’s mesh network is not compatible with non-OnHub or Google Wifi routers.

You can easily manage both OnHubs and Google Wifi units from the same app on your smartphone, even remotely. Eero is also easily managed from an app on your phone.

I disconnected eero when I installed Google Wifi to test the networks separately, but eventually I had the two networks running at the same time. I got lightning-fast results using both networks, but for what it’s worth, the speed test tool within the eero app consistently reported slightly zippier upload and download speeds than the speed test within the Google Wifi app — not enough to notice when I instantly streamed a movie off Apple TV with no hiccups or used all the other Wi-Fi connected devices in my house.

OK, my 9-year-old Samuel claimed the YouTube app on his iPad was faster and steadier when he connected through eero than on Google Wifi, but I’ll take his observation with a grain of salt.

Speaking of your kids, through the Google Wifi app, you can apply parental controls that pause their Wi-Fi devices, perhaps during dinner or homework time.

Eero has a similar feature, which you can turn on or off using voice if you have an Alexa app on an Amazon Echo. You can’t yet use the Google Home speaker to control Google Wifi by voice.

But you can employ Google Wifi to control such Internet of Things connected devices as Philips Hue bulbs.

On Google Wifi, you can pause multiple devices at the same time by grouping them together — perhaps the devices all your kids use.

Nice.

The apps let you see which devices are tapping into the network and which devices might be currently paused. As with OnHub, you can prioritize traffic to a specific device for an hour, two hours or four hours at a time.

That doesn’t mean you can’t use Wi-Fi for other devices, just that the prioritized device is first in line if there’s network congestion.

Both eero and Google Wifi let you easily set up guest Wi-Fi networks through the app.

I’m not going to ditch my eero Wi-Fi because Google Wifi has come along.

But if you’re looking for a less expensive but equally strong remedy for poky network connectivity, Google makes a compelling case.

Airbnb says 1 million listings use ‘instant book’ anti-bias feature Jessica Guynn USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Airbnb says it’s making strides in combating racism in the home-rental marketplace, pointing to the speedy uptake of a new feature that thwarts discrimination by hosts.

More than 1 million listings — one out of three — are now available through “instant book,” which lets renters book places immediately without prior approval, an effort to keep hosts from discriminating on the basis of race, sexual oriLAURA MURPHY entation and & ASSOCIATES other factors.

Civil rights activist Lau- Only one hotel chain has more ra Murphy rooms than Airbnb has instantly bookable listings, the San Francisco company told USA TODAY. The announcement was made Thursday in Washington during a meeting with civil rights groups and Belinda Johnson, Airbnb’s chief business and legal officer.

Airbnb offered civil rights leaders an overview of steps it has taken, from pushing the use of instant bookings to requiring rental hosts to sign an anti-discrimination pledge, Airbnb adviser and civil rights activist Laura Murphy said in an interview.

This is a “new era of engagement and accountability that’s self-imposed,” Murphy said.

Among the areas in which Airbnb has made progress, ac-

JAVIER SORIANO, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Airbnb began offering anti-bias training for hosts and employees in November and says all employees will finish by January. cording to Murphy: uAll Airbnb users will have to sign off on an anti-discrimination commitment by the end of January or be prohibited from using Airbnb. So far, the acceptance rate has been more than 95%, with fewer than 1% of the 1.5 million users who have seen the commitment rejecting it. uUnder Airbnb’s new “Open Doors” policy, specially trained employees find lodging for any guest denied a booking because of discrimination.

Airbnb says it fields about 100 requests a week out of more than 1 million stays on peak nights. uIn January, Airbnb plans to experiment with minimizing racially identifying information such as names and photos and highlighting more relevant information for hosts such as reviews, ID verification and stated purpose of the trip.

The experiment was designed by a 12-person team of engineers, data scientists and researchers.

By making names and photos less prominent, Airbnb hopes to make it harder for hosts to discriminate, whether consciously or unconsciously.

Criticism of Airbnb began with a study by Harvard Business School last year that found it was tougher for guests with AfricanAmerican-sounding names to rent rooms through the service.

That criticism gained national attention with accounts on social media of people being denied lodging because of race using the hashtag #AirbnbWhileBlack.

CEO Brian Chesky pledged to take action. Discrimination, he said, was the biggest challenge facing his company and one he acknowledged it had been too slow to address.

The stakes are high for IPObound Airbnb, valued by private investors at $30 billion. It has plenty of incentive to tamp down on discrimination if it wants to continue to persuade people, particularly Millennials, who are its

biggest users and who are 43% minorities, to stay in home rentals in the thousands of cities where Airbnb operates.

A 90-day comprehensive review of discrimination on the service led by Murphy and former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder began in June, culminating in a 32-page report in September.

Critics say Airbnb’s reforms have not gone far enough to deter discriminatory behavior and it has not been transparent enough about those efforts.

“I wish that there were clearer mechanisms for openness and an enhanced ability to be held accountable,” Boston University economics professor Raymond Fisman said.

Said Murphy: “These were tough issues before the election.

They continue to be tough issues after the election. This is about the company saying: This is the right thing to do and this is what our investors want us to do, this is what the founders want to do.”

Among other efforts underway: uAirbnb began offering antibias training for hosts and employees in November. So far 25% of employees have taken it and all will complete it by January. uAirbnb is stepping up efforts to recruit hosts from underserved communities, working with organizations to hold events, one in Los Angeles and one in Chicago, with plans this month for events in Seattle and Washington, D.C. “You have got to build systems that are conscious and don’t inadvertently lead to discrimination,” Murphy said. “I don’t think you can do that without having diverse teams working on these things.”

During the ascent of the Wii, Nintendo experimented with an idea.

In 2009, it launched the Wii console game New Super Mario Bros., a modern spin on the classic franchise that featured the ability for four people to break blocks and scoop up mushrooms together.

As Nintendo developers worked on the game, they tinkered with a simpler concept for Super Mario, using the Wii remote and a single button, only controlling how Mario jumps without worrying about his movement.

That experiment will come to life as Nintendo’s first smartphone game.

This week, the video game publisher will launch Super Mario Run for the iPhone.

NINTENDO

A screenshot of the Kingdom Builder in Super Mario Run.

Shigeru Miyamoto, the famed game designer who helped bring Mario and other Nintendo icons to life, said the original idea was sparked by concerns Super Mario games were becoming too complex for a segment of the audience.

He cited the original Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System, noting a big reason for its popularity was how easy it was to play.

“We thought if we were to focus in on a game where you don’t have to worry about controlling Mario with the plus (shaped) control pad, and instead you could just focus in on Mario’s jumping, then it would make the game simpler for a wider audience to enjoy,” Miyamoto said through a translator during an interview with USA TODAY. Super Mario Run will feature three modes: World Tour, Toad Rally and Kingdom Builder.

The game, set to be released Thursday, will be free to download, with limited access to all three modes. Accessing all levels will cost $9.99.

World Tour features a series of courses, similar to what’s available in most Super Mario games.

The key difference is players control only how Mario jumps, while the character will automatically move, similar to “infinite running” games such as Temple Run. In Toad Rally, players can compete in those courses against friends, gaining approval from Toads, the mushroom-hat-wearing creatures part of Mario lore.

If the player wins, those Toads go to live in the player’s personal Mushroom Kingdom, customized in the game’s Kingdom Builder. “(Super Mario Run) has been designed in a way so that all three phases of the game work together and feed off of one another,” Miyamoto says.

December kicks off a crucial stretch for the company, from the launch of Super Mario Run to its next video game console, Nintendo Switch, which promises to be a hybrid home and portable device.

Always better to grab a cab than drink and drive Dear Annie: My husband doesn’t drink, for medical reasons. Recently, we were headed to a big dinner party celebrating our friend’s 30th birthday at a restaurant downtown. It’s about a 15-minute drive from our apartment.

I wanted to take a taxi because it was a Friday night and I figured I’d have a few glasses of wine.

But he wanted me to drive. I said, “Sorry, but I’d rather play it safe.

I might be too tipsy on the way home.” He said he hates wasting money on things such as taxis and told me, “If you’re drinking too much to drive, maybe you shouldn’t drink at all.” Given my size, even two glasses of wine would put me over the legal limit, and I’d rather eat the cost of a $15 taxi ride than

risk endangering lives (not to mention the legal costs of a DUI).

We bickered about this for 10 minutes, and we were running late for the dinner.

Eventually, he caved and agreed to the taxi.

But he was irritated with me the rest of the night, and it kind of spoiled my time.

Was I in the wrong to want to splurge for the taxi? Is he right that I’m irresponsible if I drink too much to drive? I

‘Van Dyke’ sitcom in living color A mid-century favorite returns. “The Dick Van Dyke Show — Now in Living Color!”

(7 p.m., CBS, TV-G) presents colorized episodes of the blackand-white sitcom that ran from 1961-66.

While most people associate the phrase “In Living Color” with the Fox sketch comedy that ran from 1990-94, it was originally used on NBC spots in the mid-to-late 1960s, featuring the network’s peacock logo, to designate those series broadcast in new color technology. While self-evident to those with color TVs, it had a taunting quality to those stuck with old black-and-white sets.

At the time, NBC was owned by RCA, a manufacturer of color televisions, among other things.

O Over the next three Sundays, “Great Performances” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) will present “The Hollow Crown,” taking Shakespeare’s great history plays and presenting them in rough chronological order to explore the War of the Roses. Think of it as “The Godfather Saga” or “Game of Thrones” with iambic pentameter. The cast includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Hugh Bonneville, Judi Dench, Tom Sturridge, Sophie Okonedo and Keeley Hawes.

O Spike, a network long in search of an identity, has found one with the hit “Lip Sync Battle.” Its cable cousin gets to bask in its reflected glow with “Lip Sync Battle Shorties” (7 p.m.

Nickelodeon, TV-G), featuring children warbling away to their favorite songs. Sarah Hyland, better known as Hayley from ABC’s “Modern Family,” hosts.

O The awards season begins earlier every year. Actor/comedian T.J. Miller hosts “The Critics’ Choice Awards” (7 p.m., A&E, TV-PG).

While HBO is the most represented network with 22 nominations, FX has an impressive representation among series with multiple nominations, including “The People v. O.J. Simpson,” “Atlanta” and “The Americans.”

And let’s not forget “Fargo.” Its second season was completed in 2015.

Tonight’s other highlights O Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): An interview with Benjamin Netanyahu; an adopted man finds his birth mother in India; ending Colombia’s civil war.

O The voices of Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad and Santino Fontana animate the 2013 musical favorite “Frozen” (7 p.m., ABC).

“The Making of Frozen” (9 p.m.) follows.

O Israel and Iran on the brink on “Madam Secretary” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

like to drink socially. I just want to be realistic about that and plan accordingly. And I also don’t want to always force him to DD just because he can’t drink.

— Playing It Safe Dear Playing: Thank goodness you took the wheel, figuratively speaking, on this decision. Even if you’re not planning on drinking too much, leaving the keys at home is the only way to steer clear.

As your state police will be happy to remind you, “buzzed driving is drunken driving.”

I don’t think you’re irresponsible for wanting to have a few drinks at a birthday party.

Your taking the initiative to get a taxi beforehand shows just how very responsible you are. I understand your husband’s concern for

staying on budget, but you can’t put a price on safety.

A note for everyone this holiday season: Please do not drink and drive. Use a designated driver or a ride service.

Many AAA clubs participate in the Holiday Safe Ride Program, which is open to members and nonmembers alike. Call 800-AAA-HELP for more information.

Dear Annie: This is a driving tip for people with road rage: Listen to audiobooks — even on short trips, such as to the grocery. It makes waiting at lights, in traffic jams and on the highway much more pleasant, and it makes it easier to forgive the other driver. — RageFree

Douglas County District Court Judge James McCabria has ordered Aaron Joshua Damm, doing business as Kaw Valley Roofing, to repay eight consumers $46,143.70 before he can advertise, solicit or sell any services, goods or property. The order specifically bars Damm for soliciting door-to-door until restitution is made in full.

Jayhawks want strong ending

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

A casual look at Saturday’s box score shows an easy, 89-72 victory by No. 3 Kansas over visiting Nebraska at Allen Fieldhouse.

But looking at that same game through the always-intense eyes of KU coach Bill Self shows a different picture.

Despite his team racing out to a 54-34 halftime lead after shooting 65 percent in the first half, the Jayhawks (9-1) labored in the second half, let Nebraska hang around and even allowed the Cornhuskers (5-5) to dictate the way the game was played at times.

“I thought the first half we were really good,” Self said. “Second half we

weren’t. We had a chance (to put the game away) and took the foot off the gas a little bit.”

A funny exchange that had both coaches chuckling before the start of the second half and again in the postgame meeting with the media, covered that exact point.

“Yeah, he was complaining,” Nebraska coach Tim Miles said with a laugh when recalling the moment. “I’m like, ‘What does he have to complain about? They just scored 54 and we’re a good defensive team, I think, and he’s out there (complaining).

I’m like, ‘Come on. What do you have to complain about? Nothing. This is Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo your home. Sorry. You’ve KANSAS HEAD COACH BILL SELF HAS WORDS for KU guard got it tough.”

Kansas senior center Landen Lucas entered the season so badly wanting to take a big step forward from a productive junior season.

Little did he know then that taking a step back to his junior season would be greeted with such praise.

Lucas played Saturday in a way that reminded everyone of the value he brought to the team a year ago. He delivered 12 points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and a blocked shot in KU’s 89-72 blasting of Nebraska in Allen Fieldhouse in front of 16,300 spectators, including George Brett, the greatest third baseman of all-time.

line (2-of-2) and perfectly happy to walk into Allen Fieldhouse for the first time in a long time without a boot designed to ease the stress on his sore right foot.

“I kind of made that executive decision on my own, so we will see how that goes over with Ched,” Lucas said, referencing athletic trainer Bill “Cheddar” Cowgill.

“But I was feeling good

Louisville QB Jackson takes home Heisman

Jackson

New York (ap) — Lamar Jackson was trying to remember the last time he cried. He was pretty sure it involved losing a little league football game.

On Saturday night, Louisville’s spectacular sophomore quarterback found out winning can get a guy choked up, too.

Jackson became the first Louisville player to win the Heisman Trophy,

beating out preseason favorite Deshaun Watson of Clemson despite some late-season struggles.

Watson, who finished third last season, was a distant second. Baker Mayfield finished third and Oklahoma teammate and fellow finalist Dede Westbrook was fourth.

Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers was fifth.

Jackson, wearing a red

velvet blazer with shiny black lapels and a black bow tie, said he could feel his heart pounding in his chest right before his name was announced.

He barely held it together while giving his acceptance speech, with the former Heisman winners standing behind him on stage.

“I almost cried,” Jackson said. “I never get

emotional, but to have my name called and see all those great players ...”

Early in the season, Jackson leapt over a loaded field of Heisman contenders that included five of the top seven vote-getters from 2015 to become the front-runner.

Jackson accounted for 51 touchdowns and averaged 410 yards per game in total offense in his first

season as Louisville’s fulltime starter.

“He surpassed everything I thought he could do,” Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said.

Jackson ultimately won the Heisman going away, with 2,144 points to Watson’s 1,524. By percentage of possible points received, Jackson’s victory was the seventh largest in Heisman history.

Seabury puts scare into SME but falls in overtime, 56-54

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Prairie Village — Bishop Seabury Academy senior Mikey Wycoff wanted to prove Thursday through Saturday in the Championship Showdown at Shawnee Mission East that a Class 2A team like the Seahawks could battle with some of the best in 5A and 6A. Wycoff thought the Seahawks (3-2, No. 2 in 2A) solidified themselves, but he still left the three-day tournament with an empty feeling after Seabury suffered a 56-54 overtime loss to SM East in the third-place game Saturday.

“I felt like we played really good knowing that we shouldn’t really be here as a 2A school, but I felt that we should have got that third-place game at least,” Wycoff said.

“We played a really good St. James team (Friday), and I’ll give it to them.

They beat us fair and square. But today, I just felt we should have got third place.”

Wycoff did just about everything in his power to keep the Seahawks neck and neck with the Lancers, as he poured in a game-high 27 points. The 6-foot-1 guard hit 10 of his 15 shots from the floor, but his final shot was one he would have liked to have back. With the game tied at 54-54 in the waning seconds of overtime, Wycoff drove to the bucket but was met at the rim by SM East’s Kelyn Bolton and Trevor Thompson.

Bolton knocked the ball away, and Thompson tossed it to Jack Schoemann — who drove in for the go-ahead layup with 1.5 seconds remaining.

The Seahawks got a good look on a halfcourt shot from Zach McDermott that would have won it, but the ball bounced off the iron to secure the victory for the host Lancers.

McDermott scored six of his 13 points in the first quarter, but the Seahawks offense was stagnant in the second with the exception of Wycoff. The Seabury senior scored all 13 of the Seahawks’ points in the second quarter.

Although the Seahawks were sluggish on the offensive end in the first half, Wycoff was more discouraged with their effort on defense.

“All I know is that we came out the first half

Board bruisers Even without senior forward Caelynn ManningAllen, who has been sidelined over the last few games with a concussion, the Jayhawks have had an advantage on the boards as of late. Kansas out rebounded Harvard, 46-39, in Wednesday’s loss. It marked the fourth time this season that Schneider’s squad has out rebounded the opposition. In those four outings, the team has a 2-2 record.

It has however, led to more production in the paint, an area Schneider has emphasized this year.

BISHOP SEABURY SENIOR MIKEY WYCOFF LOOKS FOR A LANE to the basket during the Seahawks’ 56-54 overtime loss to Shawnee Mission East on Saturday in the third-place game of the Championship Showdown at SME. Wycoff led all scorers with 27 points. and we weren’t playing really good defense,” Wycoff said. “We went into the locker room at half, and coach (Ashley Battles) told us that we’ve got to pick up our defense, and that’s what we did. We picked up the defense, and we know our abilities. That’s what we showed were our best abilities, and that’s how we got back into the game.”

The Seahawks trailed, 30-25, at the break, but the increased intensity on defense helped create better offensive chances and helped Seabury make a game of it down the stretch.

Seabury found a third scoring option behind Wycoff and McDermott in junior Bansi King, who nailed two of his three three-pointers in the third quarter. King joined Wycoff and McDermott in double figures with 10.

While Wycoff enjoys having the ball in his

hands, he feels like the Seahawks are more potent when they put together a balanced scoring effort.

“When I’m scoring and doing what I need to do, other guys feed off me,” Wycoff said. “So it’s a lot of motivation for me to get to the basket and score.”

Wycoff made a pair of free throws to tie the game at 47-47 with 5:50 to play in regulation, and the Seahawks took their first lead since midway through the first quarter at 52-50 when King hit his third three-ball with 2:10 to go.

Connor Rieg answered with a bucket to tie it at 52-52 with 1:15 to go, but the Seahawks were able to stall and hold the ball for a chance at a gamewinner.

McDermott turned it over, though, with 3.6 seconds left to give the Lancers one last chance in regulation. Rieg nearly banked in a three

from the top of the key, but it rimmed out to send the game to overtime.

Despite the nail-biting loss to the Lancers, Wycoff and McDermott were recognized for their efforts throughout the Championship Showdown with being named to the all-tournament team.

Barstow’s Jacob Gilyard, a Richmond signee, was named the tournament MVP. Gilyard scored 36 points in a losing effort to St. James on Saturday in the title game.

“

We just need to stay focused. This win means a lot to us, but the season’s not over.”

— Kansas City’s Justin Houston

The Chiefs knocked them down a peg.

It was their fifth straight win against the Raiders and their ninth consecutive victory over division foes, the thirdlongest streak in franchise history. Along the way are not only the two wins over Oakland this year, but also a win in Denver — the other divisional team in the thick of the postseason hunt heading into the Broncos’ game today at Tennessee.

The Broncos visit Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas night.

“It’s all about us. It’s not about who we play,” said star pass rusher Justin Houston, whose return from offseason knee surgery has given the Kansas City defense a big midseason lift.

“We just need to stay

focused,” he said. “This win means a lot to us, but the season’s not over. We need to put this game behind us, stay focused, and finish the rest of the season strong.”

That’s because there is still plenty on the horizon.

The Chiefs haven’t won the AFC West since 2010, when they finished 10-6 in a division that it seemed nobody wanted to win. Their many deficiencies showed when they were routed 30-7 by Baltimore in their first playoff game, which they hosted because of their division title.

Their last two playoff trips have started on the road as wild cards.

Three years ago, they went to Indianapolis and built a big early lead before their defense melted

down in the second half.

And last year, they went to Houston and came away with their first playoff victory in more than two decades, only to lose at New England the following week.

So to say that a firstround bye and a home playoff game in the second round are crucial would be an understatement. They are more like necessities for a team dreaming of a Super Bowl.

“It’s good right now,” Chiefs running back Spencer Ware said, “but we can’t get comfortable. We’ve got to keep our eyes on the prize and stay focused on the main goal.”

That goal became a little more challenging when the Chiefs lost Derrick Johnson, their veteran linebacker, to a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left leg. Johnson went down untouched late in the first half Sunday and, it seemed, knew right away his season was over.

KU-RHODE ISLAND WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Shooting struggles Kansas coach Brandon Schneider has stressed the importance of getting high percentage shots through the early part of the season.

However, it has not led to success thus far. The Jayhawks are shooting 34 percent of the year from the floor, including 30 percent from long range. In the double-digit loss to Harvard this week, KU knocked down six of its 10 shots from downtown in the first half alone as it took more efficient looks. But by the end of the game, the team’s clip dipped to a 38.1 mark from long range. Kansas has shot less than 40 percent from the floor in all but one contest this season.

Chiefs hope to build on victory Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — There is an argument to be made that the AFC West is the best division in the NFL. There is little doubt that the Chiefs are the class of it.

After dispatching the Raiders on a frigid night at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs are tied with them for the lead at 10-3 with three games left in the regular season. But they hold the tiebreaker thanks to two head-tohead wins over Oakland, which could loom large down the stretch.

For the division title, sure. But also for a firstround bye in the playoffs.

“Every division game has got to be a playoff game. It’s going to be something more,” Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said after the 21-13 victory on Thursday night, “especially with a team like Oakland that’s at the top of the charts on offense and defense.”

Well, they had been at the top of the charts heading into the showdown.

Sunday, December 11, 2016

Streaking Junior guard Chayla Cheadle has become a more focal point on the offense

recently. Cheadle has now reached double figures in three straight outings. She notched a team-high 11 points on 14 shots in the loss to the Crimson. Over the last three games, Cheadle has scored a combined 35 points, knocking down 15-of-36 shots. To put that in comparison, Cheadle scored 40 total points on 32 shots through the first five games.

Slumping It was an off night for junior guard Jessica Washington last time out. Washington logged nine points while hitting just two of her dozen shots. It marked the third straight game that Washington had been unable to recorded double figures. She failed to reach double-digits just once through the first four outings of that season, and that was the game she was ejected. It is important for Washington to play well as one of team’s focal points on the offensive end.

LHS wrestler Gee wins Eudora title

By Evan Riggs eriggs@ljworld.com

Eudora — With under a minute left in the third period of the championship match in the 182-pound division, Lawrence High senior wrestler Santino Gee held a 4-3 lead.

De Soto coach Shannon Sawner hollered to his wrestler, Nate Panagakis, “He’s stalling, the attack is open!”

After appearing exhausted for most of the third period, Gee countered Panagakis’ ensuing attack, and scored a takedown to seal a 7-4 win in the championship match of the Eudora Tournament of Champions, a two-day tournament at Eudora High.

“He’s just Santino.”

Lawrence coach Pat Naughton said. “You never know what’s going to happen on the mat. Anything can happen. He’s such a great scrambler, and just fun to watch.”

Gee used his ultra-aggressive style to cruise through the bracket to a perfect 5-0 record. While some might view an attack with a lead and fading stamina in the third round as a risk, Gee said he actually feels safer wrestling that way.

“I just feel better if I’m ahead,” Gee said. “If you wait it out, anything can happen. You can get put on your back easily, and that can flip the match.

I wrestle hard until the very end.”

Despite only bringing seven wrestlers due to ACT test conflicts, the Lions still placed fourth as a team with 202.5 points. The Lions had five wrestlers medal: senior Tucker Wilson (second), senior Cade Burghart (fourth), senior Kevin Nichols (fourth) junior Melle Dye (fifth) and junior Relle Dye (fifth).

“I’m just ecstatic to get over 200 points with just seven kids,” Naughton said. “It’s just amazing we

could do this. Now they have that in their pocket.

Now they know we can go out and compete with anybody.”

However, the Lions had the potential to finish even higher. They entered Day Two in second place, but Naughton said the team wasn’t able to perform as well as Day One. Naughton said that could partially be attributed to Saturday being the Lions’ first two-day tournament of the year.

Also, the second day of the tournament was formatted differently to accommodate wrestlers taking their ACT tests. In the past, a wrestler could take the test, miss the first round, and still be eligible for the bracket.

This year the tournament started 30 minutes later than usual, and there was a 90-minute lunch break prior to bracket play. Naughton thought the long break disrupted his team’s flow, and said that he thought having to warm up, sit, and then warm up again made things more difficult.

“We warmed up then just fell flat,” Naughton said. “Our shape isn’t really where it’s supposed to be yet, but working through their technique when they’re tired or not feeling right is going to help.”

Lawrence will play host to Gardner-Edgerton for a dual at 6:30 p.m.

KANSAS 89, NEBRASKA 72

KANSAS GUARD JOSH JACKSON (11) DUNKS OFF A LOB against Nebraska during the second half of KU’s 89-72 victory Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Jayhawks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

All kidding aside, there were plenty of things for Self to be both happy and discouraged about during the Jayhawks’ ninth consecutive victory on Saturday.

KU’s backcourt was terrific yet again, with four of KU’s five perimeter players scoring in double figures. The Jayhawks shot .467 from 3-point range, .596 from the floor for the game and Self’s squad played with incredible effort and focus during the game’s first 20 minutes, a noteworthy feat given the distraction of the arrest of sophomore Carlton Bragg Jr., who did not play Saturday but was on the bench in street clothes.

“I think maybe one reason why we were a little more focused in the first half was because of it,” Self said of the Bragg distraction. “Maybe. I don’t know. It was a distraction, but with teams and throughout seasons there’s going to be things that come up. Not necessarily like this, but there’s going to be things that

and mentally, I didn’t want to keep walking around in a boot and then switch to court shoes, so today I didn’t do it. Maybe it’s time to just throw that thing away.”

It was the second consecutive encouraging performance for Lucas, who during that time has played 34 minutes, made 6-of-6 field goals, 4-of-4 free throws and produced 16 points and 12 rebounds.

His revival has come at a good time for the team, which, at least temporarily, is playing without one of its big men, sophomore Carlton Bragg Jr. (suspended from competition after being charged with misdemeanor battery of a female student).

“It’s a team effort,” Lucas said of compensating for an unavailable player.

“We all have to do it.

It’s not one individual.

So everyone has to step their game up, including me. So I felt like I had to get out of whatever I was in early in the season. It seems like it’s going in the right direction.”

The word “funk” was most commonly used to described whatever it was that he was in

KU GUARD FRANK MASON III looks for an outlet. come up that the public may not know about that can definitely create distractions.”

Kansas let down a little in the second half and actually was outscored by Nebraska by three. That put Self in the position to criticize nearly every aspect of his team’s second-half performance, starting with the lack of a killer instinct and including everything from missed free throws (14of-25 for the game) and mismanaged alley-oop attempts.

Despite their sluggish second half, the Jayhawks never saw their lead dip below 15 points,

as Nebraska, though playing with great effort, just could not overcome the size, speed and athleticism deficit it faced from start to finish.

So what’s it like to hear your coach critiquing your every move despite holding a comfortable lead in a game that was never in doubt? Kansas freshman Josh Jackson, who turned in another solidly spectacular game — 17 points, six rebounds, five blocks, two steals and a partridge in a pear tree — tried his best to explain.

“Well, he’s right all the time,” said Jackson, clearly passing the first test.

“We do tend to get a little bit lax when we go by up 15 to 20 points. And he knows that there’s gonna be times during the season where teams are not gonna lay down, they’re gonna fight and come back and make it a game so we’ve just gotta keep our foot on the pedal.”

Having gone through similar situations many times before, senior forward Landen Lucas agreed with the rookie.

“We’ve gotta get better at really putting our foot on their throat,” said Lucas, who finished 5-of-5 from the floor for 12 points and seven rebounds in 19 minutes.

“But that’s something that a team develops throughout a season and we’ll get better at that.”

Asked who he thought the onus for improvement in that area fell on most, Self pointed his own way first.

“The coach takes responsibility for everything, so I guess it’s on me,” he said. “But you would think those two little guards would make sure everybody else follows.”

Those two little guards — senior Frank Mason III and junior Devonté Graham — combined for 32

points, eight assists and seven rebounds on 11-of20 shooting on Saturday.

Included in what Miles referred to as “an unbelievable collection of guards,” was a 30-foot, buzzer-beating three by Graham that ended the first half.

“We just gave him a little bit of space,” Miles lamented. “And he’ll make you pay.”

While there remain aspects of the game that the Jayhawks still can work on, the things they do well already were more than enough to carry them through this one.

KU outscored Nebraska 17-4 in transition, blocked 12 shots compared to just three for the ’Huskers and got 30 points off the bench, including 15 from “back breaker” Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk.

“Coach Self’s got a great team,” Miles said.

“That’s a fast team, a skilled team, a powerful team, they can get you a lot of ways.... They’ve got just an unbelievable collection of guards and then they’ve got enough inside to hurt you. It’s just hard to get ’em under control. They’re clearly a cut above anybody we’ve seen.”

when he was fouling too frequently and hanging his head after many of the whistles. Since the definition of the word is “state of depression,” funk might be a little strong.

So we’ll call it a fog.

It blocked his vision to the path back to the player he had become.

The fog has lifted and if his health continues to improve — he missed one game with a strained oblique muscle and foot injuries often linger — then the fog might never return.

That doesn’t mean that Lucas will continue to perform as he did against UMKC and Nebraska once the competition grows much stiffer, but it certainly counts as an encouraging development.

“I thought he played really well,” Self said.

“I thought he was quick into his moves. He didn’t catch it and hold it and hesitate. I thought he played really well.”

KANSAS GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM (4) TURNS TO THE BENCH AFTER A DEEP 3 to end the first half against Nebraska on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

NOTEBOOK

Bragg sits against Nebraska

By Matt Tait mtait @ljworld.com

As expected, Kansas sophomore Carlton Bragg Jr. did not play during Saturday’s 89-72 victory over Nebraska at Allen Fieldhouse, sitting out at the end of the KU bench in street clothes following a Friday arrest and charge of misdemeanor battery in an incident involving a female KU student.

KU coach Bill Self, who said in a statement Friday night that Bragg would be held out of all competition until the issue was resolved, offered more insight into the situation following Saturday’s victory.

“It’s gonna get talked about,” Self acknowledged. “But it’s not anything that is really worth a lot of commenting on because there’s no decisions to be made until you hear what’s transpired ... And that’s up to the police. That’s up to the people on campus.

There is no way we do our own investigation so it’s a matter-of-fact deal.”

Asked if he had given any thought to keeping Bragg away from Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday, Self said to do so would have been to miss out on an opportunity to teach another lesson.

“It’s a very humbling situation,” Self said. “But it’s not one that you run from, it’s one that you address in a manner in which you should, good, bad or indifferent. To have him not be on the bench would basically be saying is he not part of your family? There was no thought of not having him be a part of this.

That’s also part of the educational aspect, as well.”

Senior Landen Lucas said Self did a good job of not allowing the issue to become an unsettling distraction.

“Coach got us focused yesterday in practice because he knew our minds might wander and focus on outside distractions,” Lucas said. “We knew we couldn’t do that against a good team like Nebraska.”

Self said his team is educated, before, during and after each season, on the potential pitfalls that

“You spend the night in jail, you get up, you don’t have a phone, first thing you do you look at the TV and your name’s on the bottom and this, this and that. It’s been very humbling for him, but I’m not saying it shouldn’t be.”

Self also was asked how he navigated the fine line between supporting one of his players and re-

specting the legal process and said that part was easy.

“To be candid with you, it really doesn’t make any difference what guys say transpired or didn’t transpire,” he said. “There are professionals that will determine what transpired.

To me, it’s a bad situation for all parties involved.

He is not going to play the victim role, nothing like that.”

Self said Bragg would be allowed to practice with the team while the

investigation into exactly what happened remained ongoing. But he added that Bragg’s reps may be limited as the team moves forward with game preparation without him.

“Oh yeah. You want to get guys ready that you have feel have an opportunity to play,” Self said.

“So that would certainly affect that part of practice.”

victory, freshman Josh Jackson failed to connect on the back end of an offthe-backboard, alley-oop pass from junior Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk.

As soon as the dunk missed, Self was visibly agitated on the bench.

Asked after the game what aspect of the play bothered him most, Self said it was the message the mangled highlight sent.

“I don’t think I got onto ’em for the play as much as they’re probably not respecting the game the way they should in that situation,” he said.

“So Svi threw it off the backboard. Big deal. But if you’re Josh, you don’t have to catch it and try to do more with it than you probably should.... I don’t think it was the right play in that particular situation.”

Asked which player got the harsher end of Self’s wrath after the game, Jackson said it was equal before senior forward Landen Lucas chimed in with his own interpretation.

“The whole team,” Lucas said. “Everybody out on the court.”

time Tweet on Saturday with his team trailing 5434.

Appropriately, the Tweet focused on defense.

“Obviously team defense is critical,” Miles wrote. “We have to be a physical, tough-minded defensive team this half.”

In some ways, the Cornhuskers were, limiting Kansas to just 35 points and 40 percent shooting in the second half.

The halftime Tweet was hardly the only entertainment Miles provided on Saturday. During his postgame press conference, Miles tipped his cap to the whole experience of coaching in Allen Fieldhouse, something he’s been looking forward to doing for a long time.

“It’s a pretty cool opening,” Miles said of KU’s pregame introductions. “I liked the jab at Nebraska, the little cowboy movie thing. That was funny, for Kansas folks. I gotta defend us, right? I thought it was a great environment and a good experience for our guys. That’s why I wanted to play here.”

Teddy Owens in town With his father and former KU coach Ted Owens sitting in the stands 20 rows behind him, Nebraska director of basketball operations Teddy Owens sat on the Nebraska bench and tried to help his team upset the No. 3 team in the country.

Another notable face on the Nebraska bench was Ali Farokhmanesh, who serves as NU’s director of player development.

Farokhmanesh, you may remember, was the guard who hit the gameclinching 3-pointer in Northern Iowa’s NCAA Tournament victory over Kansas back in 2010.

This and that...

Saturday’s victory was win No. 750 all-time in Allen Fieldhouse.... KU now leads the all-time series with Nebraska, 17171, including 13 in a row....

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP Army 21, Navy 17 Baltimore (ap) — Army ended a 14-year run of frustration against Navy, using an overpowering running game and opportunistic defense to carve out a long overdue victory Saturday.

With future commander in chief Donald Trump

looking on, the Black Knights blew a 14-point lead before quarterback Ahmad Bradshaw scored on a 9-yard run with 6:42 left to give Army the win it had been waiting for since 2001.

The Black Knights’ 14game losing streak was the

longest by either academy in a series that began in 1890. Army (7-5) now trails 60-50-7 in one of the nation’s historic rivalries.

Navy (9-4) was coming off a physical 34-10 loss to Temple in the American Athletic Conference title game and had only one

week to prepare for Army with a new quarterback, sophomore Zach Abey, who was making his first college start. Abey took over Will Worth, who broke his foot against Temple.

Abey ran for two touchdowns but passed for only 89 yards and was intercepted

twice. Navy had four turnovers, three in the first half.

“I take a lot of responsibility for the game,” Abey said.

“Obviously, in the first half I made some bad decisions. I feel horrible for the seniors.”

Navy Army

0 0 10 7 — 17 7 7 0 7 — 21

First Quarter ARM-Davidson 1 run (Wilson kick), 4:23 Second Quarter ARM-Davidson 1 run (Wilson kick), 4:23 Third Quarter NAV-Abey 1 run (Moehring kick), 11:23 NAV-FG Moehring 28, 3:59 Fourth Quarter NAV-Abey 41 run (Moehring kick), 12:42 ARM-Bradshaw 9 run (Wilson kick), 6:00

SHELF LIFE

Library staff’s best picks of 2016

L

et’s be honest: 2016 has been kind of a hot mess. Between so many celebrity deaths and some, uh, general upheaval, most people are ready to write this one off as a loss.

But as much as we’d like to say goodbye and good riddance to the year as a whole, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention one of the very good things that came from 2016: This year has offered readers a wealth of fabulous new books.

If you’re looking for great gifts for bibliophiles in your life, try one of these librarianapproved reads:

in which Rowling expands her wizarding world in “Fantastic Beasts” because it not only made me feel like a kid again but also transported me to a magical world that is full of fascinating characters, gripping plot twists, and “adorkable” interactions. In addition, I appreciate that the “Fantastic Beasts and political climate and social Where to Find Them,” by justice issues embedded in J.K. Rowling the story mirror what is going Who would have known that on in America today, which my favorite book of the year makes “Fantastic Beasts” even would be a screenplay written more impactful and relevant.

— Fisher Adwell, information by literary goddess J.K. Rowlservices assistant ing herself? I love the ways

nearly impossible! I’ve mentioned several favorites through the year (books by Jesmyn Ward, Yaa Gyasi, Nicole Dennis-Benn and Natashia Deon) but one that I’ve not specifically blogged about is “What is Not Yours is Not Yours,” a story collection by Helen Oyeyemi. With hints of magic, vivid imagery, and surprising story lines, these can be savored slowly or devoured all at once.

it well. I vote for his penetrating examination of racism in America, “Stamped from the Beginning,” as best book of 2016.

When his book won the National Book Award for Nonfiction, Kendi addressed years of sifting through centuries of racism.

Though it was grueling and gruesome, he reminded us that “In the midst of the human ugliness of racism, there was the human beauty.”

“Stamped From the Beginning,” by Ibram X. Kendi Those in the library auditorium when Ibram X. Kendi came to speak quickly learned that this historian has done his research, and he presents

— Kate Gramlich, reader’s services assistant

“King Baby,” by Kate Beaton I’m always amazed at how Kate Beaton, whose comic “Hark, a Vagrant” — a sort of literary and historical “The Far Side” — is able to sketch complex sight gags and subtle facial expressions.

— Jake Vail, information services assistant

MAPLE PECAN COOKIES

About Harriet House:

Q: A:

What’s your best baking memory?

My German mother was a wonderful cook. The kitchen always smelled so good when she was baking for us children. As a young girl I loved helping her when it was baking day.

Back then I knew baking would be part of my life as I grew older. These are the best memories anyone could have.

In recent years she has turned to writing picture books. Last year’s “The Princess and the Pony,” in which a princess receives a pony that is disappointingly cute instead of glamorous (and has a problem with gas), was one of the funniest picture books of 2015, and now she is back with “King Baby,” a story about the most tyrannical ruler of all.

Only Beaton could draw a baby who remains irresistibly cuddly, even as he brutalizes his loyal subjects with constant demands (and bodily functions). This makes a great read for young monarchs and is a perfect gift book for any with recently arrived

the kitchen and some words of advice for novice bakers.

“Reasons to Stay Alive,” by Matt Haig In 2016, I’m unable to think of a more important time for self-care.

Enter “Reasons to Stay Alive” by Matt Haig. It houses a vital perspective from a recovered suicide survivor and anxiety sufferer, but it has the ability to enable empathy for those who haven’t experienced these things. What better handbook to have in uncertain times than one that motivates us to keep propelling forward.

Any advice for new bakers?

You will have some failures. It can be a learning experience for you. Don’t give up just try again. When you achieve excellence it is such a good feeling.

Vermont Maple Pecan Cookies Hearty oats and shredded House coconut provide a chewy texture while toasted pecans add crunch. Tightly covered these cookies will keep one week.

Ingredients: 3 cups old-fashioned oats 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt

Alexandra Woody/Special to the Journal-World

1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 cups packed light brown sugar 1 cup unsalted butter 1/2 cup maple syrup 2 tablespoons light corn syrup 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/4 cup boiling water 1 teaspoon maple or vanilla extract 2 cups chopped toasted pecans

Instructions: Preheat oven to 300° and position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Combine oats, coconut, flour, salt, cinnamon and

brown sugar in a large bowl; whisk to blend.

Combine butter, maple syrup and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until butter melts, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat.

Combine baking soda and boiling water, stirring to dissolve. Add to maple syrup mixture, stirring well. Add pecans; stir well.

Place 1/4-cup balls of dough on baking sheets 3 inches apart. Flatten slightly.

Bake 18 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and set, rotating positions halfway through the baking process. Cool on the baking sheets 5 minutes, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yield: about 30 cookies.

“A Taste of Honey,” by Kai Ashante Wilson Not only is Kai Ashante Wilson’s “A Taste of Honey” the best thing I’ve read this year, but it’s also what I would call the most surprising.

What’s your best baking memory?

My favorite memory is the first time I made these with my first grandchild last year. She had her own little rolling pin to roll the dough. While we were decorating them she kept eating the colored sprinkles off the cookies.

I loved helping my mother (Eugenia “Tiny” Reardon) make homemade apple dumplings. We used the Stephenson’s Apple Farm recipe.

Any advice for new bakers?

Just practice new recipes in your kitchen. Don’t be afraid to try something. You might experiment and cut back on salt, add a little extra cinnamon, etc. My mother’s worst experiment was a tomato soup cake — it was awful!

Any advice for new bakers?

(Don’t) be afraid to experiment when baking. Some great recipes have been invented by accident.

Holiday Sugar Cookies My mom made this recipe when I was a little girl and used red plastic holiday cookie cutters. I made these cookies with my children every holiday using the same cookie cutters and now I make these with my grand children, using the same cookie cutters! They Curtis are the best sugar cookies I’ve ever baked.
