Republican governor’s comments came amid
issues raised by judge about private contracts.
Associated Press
DES MOINES — There is no reason to delay plans to shift
Iowa’s Medicaid operation to private management, even though a
judge has recommended the state throw out one of four contracts
awarded to companies to run the program, Gov. Terry Branstad
said Monday.
Administrative Law Judge Christie Scase recommended last
week Iowa reverse its contract with Florida-based WellCare. Branstad said a final decision has not been made on how to proceed, but
the state could continue with three companies, if necessary.
“The initial idea was we would have from two to four (companies). So, if the administrative law judge’s preliminary recommendation is the one adopted, we can move forward with the three,”
Branstad said.
Branstad stressed Iowa Department of Administrative Services
Director Janet Phipps will review the judge’s decision. He did not
offer a time frame for when she would decide.
Iowa is set to shift the $4.2 billion Medicaid program to private
management beginning Jan. 1, though the plan still needs federal
approval.

MONMOUTH, Ill. — Amjad Karkout
hopes to make a positive difference in
the world, beginning with his opportunity to graduate from Monmouth College.
Karkout, 22, is a sophomore political
science and communication studies
major from Ashrafieh, a small town outside of Damascus.
His family left their home in Syria and
moved to Turkey in 2013 after it became
clear his father, a writer, no longer could
work in his own country. It was known
in their small community the Karkout
family did not support Syrian president
Bashar Assad and his regime, making it
difficult for him to work and for the family to live peacefully.
“The town that I’m from — the (religious) minorities — it is supportive of the
regime, so we felt kind of that we were
in danger,” Karkout said. “We received
some death threats.”
Although his town was safe, Karkout
said, the surrounding area constantly
was under fire. His community is comprised mostly of Christians and Durzi
— a small sect of Islam most prevalent
in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Jordan.
Because Ashrafieh generally is supportive of the Assad regime, they were
spared from the airstrikes and bombings
plaguing other cities.
“I’m sad to leave the country, but I
have to find my way. I have to finish my
education,” he said. “For the future, I

LE BOURGET, France —
With dramatic vows to save
future generations from an
overheated planet, the largest
gathering ever of world leaders began two weeks of talks
Monday aimed at producing the
most far-reaching pact yet to
reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and avert environmental
havoc.
“We should ask what will
we say to our grandchildren if
we fail,” British Prime Minister
David Cameron said as the U.N.
climate summit opened under
heavy security on the outskirts
of Paris, two weeks after the
extremist attacks that left 130
people dead. “Instead of making excuses tomorrow, let’s take
action today.”
Even before the gathering,
more than 180 countries pledged
to cut or curb their emissions,
but scientific analyses show bigger reductions would be needed

the Earth to 3.8 degrees Fahr-

Karkout’s younger brother, Anas, a
junior at Monmouth, was accepted to the
college after the family left Syria. Amjad,
however, initially stayed behind with his
parents in Turkey before enrolling at
Monmouth for the 2014-15 school year.
Although Karkout acknowledged the
United States is a “different society with
different interests” than what he was
used to back home, he is happy to live
freely in America where he can continue
his education.
“I like it here because the USA saved
my future,” he said. “Monmouth College
saved my future.”
Once his student visa expires, Karkout said he would like to stay in the U.S.,
rather than move back to Turkey with
his parents.
“I’m trying to get a Green Card. If that
doesn’t work, I’ll have to leave the USA,”
he said.

enheit over pre-industrial times,
the internationally agreed-upon
goal.
The biggest issue facing the
151 heads of state and government at the summit is who
should bear most of the burden of closing the gap: wealthy
Western nations that have polluted the most historically, or
developing countries, such as
China and India, who now are
the biggest and third-biggest
emitters of greenhouse gases?
“Addressing climate change
should not deny the legitimate
needs of developing countries to
reduce poverty and improve living standards,” Chinese leader
Xi Jinping told the conference.
The last major climate agreement, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol,
required only rich countries
to cut emissions, and the U.S.
never signed on.

firearm deer hunt
beats last year
Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois
hunters bested last year’s total
of deer harvested during the first
weekend of the state’s firearm
season by more than 6,000.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources said hunters took
nearly 58,000 deer from Nov. 20
to 22. Hunters took about 52,000
deer during the first Illinois Firearm Deer Season weekend last
year. The second segment of
this year’s season is Thursday
through Sunday, and the muzzleloader season is Dec. 11 to 13.
The most deer were taken in
Randolph County at 1,619 deer.
The fewest were in Lake County,
where four deer were taken.

Gabe Stevens of Media, Ill., gives a presentation Monday to a West Burlington welding class at West Burlington High School
in West Burlington.
Stevens said he wanted to open kids’ eyes to welding
By JOEY AGUIRRE
[email protected]
W
EST BURLINGTON — Gabe
Stevens is a man of steel.
Well not literally, but the longtime-welder-turned-artist met with a group
of West Burlington welding students Monday morning to discuss how he began his
welding career and share his story.
The 1996 Burlington High School graduate said when he was asked to come
speak, he would be stepping outside of his
comfort zone.
“I owe all of it to my welding teacher
from high school,” Stevens said. “I was
going to be a mechanic until I took welding. It started in a booth just like one of
their’s. It all stemmed from high school.
I’ve trained a lot of people to weld and do
things but not stand in front of a class.”
Stevens said he wanted to open the students’ eyes to welding.
“Maybe not make it a career but learn
how to do it because if something fails, you
can always get hired as a welder to feed
your family,” Stevens said. “I cover a lot
with 3-D printing, to get on the technical
side of like drafting and engineering. It’s
not just welding.”
High school industrial tech teacher Tay-
lor Fountain is in his first year of teaching
at West Burlington, and he grew up with
Stevens.
“I’ve taught all the classes that I’m teaching right now, except for welding,” Fountain said. “He’s an old friend of mine, and
I see what he does on Facebook. I figured
if this doesn’t get my welding kids excited,
then I have no hope. I’m starting to do TIG
welding (Tungsten Inert Gas), and that’s
how he does this art. I’m starting to dabble
with that type of welding out here in our
welding program.”
“Plus, I don’t think they will see this type
of stuff,” Fountain said.
That stuff includes a deer head and several roses with pedals, which Stevens has
welded. He said one rose takes up to eight
hours to make.
“I think he’s the only one doing this,”
Fountain said. “This is like where welding
and art converge. I’m more interested in
hearing him tell how he did this and the
process he went through.”
Stevens entered the workforce straight
from high school and learned several
types of welding methods “hard knocks”
style.
“I’ve never been fast. I couldn’t hit a
baseball or play basketball, but I knew how
to weld,” Stevens told the students. “I graduated on a Sunday and went to work on
Monday on second shift. Six dollars and 30
cents an hour welding, but the better you
get, the more you’ll make.”
Stevens said to learn from as many people as you can, but make sure they are the
right people.
“When you’re a new guy anywhere you
go, they will give you advice,” Stevens said.
“Be careful who you learn from but be
open.”
The more experienced welders can earn
up to $100,000 a year.
“There are several schools for welding,
and I wish I had gone to them,” Stevens
said. “I was not academically strong
enough to carry on with much school. All
I was good with was my hands, so I went
straight to work, which means I was about
a $4 (per hour) pay cut verses kids that
went to college.”
One piece of advice Stevens gave to the
students was when it comes right down to
it, work.
“Sometimes, you’ve just got to work,”
Stevens said. “Resumes get you in the door,
but working is what it comes down to. Say
what you want, do whatever, but you’re just
going to have to put the time in to work.”
Governments demand action amid budget mess
Cities, counties in Illinois
struggle with overdue
bills, frozen funds
during budget crisis.
By JOHN O’CONNOR
Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Nervous mayors and county officials are piping up about the Illinois budget crisis, with one city
even threatening to turn off the
lights at a state garage because
of an unpaid electric bill.
New Republican Gov. Bruce
Rauner and the Democratic-controlled General Assembly
are embroiled in a fiscal standoff. As the state enters its sixth
month without a budget, local
governments are becoming
more vocal with their concerns
Springfield isn’t passing along
the tax revenues it collects for
such things as road improvements and emergency dispatch
— or paying bills for power or
water.
At least three counties have
sued over emergency-service
tax disbursements, and the
board governing the village of
Mundelein, a suburb 40 miles
northwest of Chicago, formally asked the state to release
an amount which soon will
approach $1 million.
“We wanted to at least send a
message that it’s not lost on us
that they’re holding our money,”
mayor Steve Lentz said. “They
have to get off the dime. The
trustees and I feel it’s not a partisan thing — we need both parties to come together to resolve
this and fix our state.”
Rauner and legislative leaders are scheduled to meet today,
although expectations are low.
They have been unable to
agree on a spending plan that
should have taken effect this
past July 1. Rauner wants structural changes to make running
business cheaper, curb union
power and restore faith in politics. Democrats said those
issues are unrelated to the bud-
get, and the state needs a tax
increase and spending cuts to
fill a multibillion-dollar hole.
The House approved a Rauner-endorsed plan this month to
release already-collected tax
revenue from sources such as
motor fuel and 911 taxes, but the
Senate left town before taking
action.
Officials in Marshall, a city
of 4,000 on the Indiana border,
195 miles south of Chicago,
threatened to turn off the lights
recently at a facility housing Illinois Department of Transportation vehicles because of a $1,400
overdue bill the state hadn’t
paid. Mayor Camie Sanders said
he’s tired of shutting off power
to late-paying residents and letting the state slide.
Sanders got a meeting with
Rauner aides in Springfield and
kept the power on rather than
lose the trucks to a Paris facility
16 miles up the road.
“Our town is growing, it’s
doing great,” Sanders said. “The
state should be offering support, not withholding payment.”
Springfield’s city-owned utility reports the state owes $3.5
million since July for electric
and water just for the Statehouse and other buildings on
the downtown Capitol campus.
Mayor Jim Langfelder said pulling the cord isn’t an option with
government’s massive presence
in the capital city, but he is preparing a request utility bills
move toward the top of the list
when the comptroller pays bills.
Rauner understands the
frustrations in town halls and
county board rooms, spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said.
“The state is not withholding
any payments,” Kelly said. “It
lacks the appropriation authority to make them because the
(Democratic) super majority in
the Legislature failed to pass a
balanced budget.”
Governments in St. Clair
County, near St. Louis, and in
southern Saline and Gallatin
counties, have filed lawsuits
seeking release of tax money
collected on cellphone and
landline phone calls for 911
emergency-dispatch centers.
St. Clair County 911 director
Herb Simmons said the system
is monitoring spending while
awaiting $125,000 past due.
“I’m going to continue to
believe that public safety is No.
1 in everybody’s mind,” Simmons said, “and it’s sitting there
in Springfield.”
The Greater Burlington Partnership is accepting applications
for its annual Des Moines County
Business Plan Competition.
“The competition has assisted
a number of successful ventures
over the last few years,” said
Mark Foster, competition administrator. “We want to continue to
encourage and support entrepreneurs to take that step and start
their own business.”
The partnership has a $10,000
prize pool distributed as reimbursable grants among the winning plans. The competition is
open to Des Moines County residents who plan to start a business within the county. All business ideas are considered, but
Foster said additional points are
awarded to those business ideas
most likely to generate additional
employment, grow revenue and
add to the tax base.
Participants in the program
enroll in a business plan-writing
course, submit a first draft that is
reviewed, then undergo a credit
and personal financial statement
analysis.
Finalists make a presentation to a review committee, and
awards are announced in May
during the Small Business Appreciation Breakfast.
Recent winners of the competition include Majestic Estate
in 2015 and Barn on the Ridge in
2014.
“Entrepreneurship plays a
vital role in our local economy,”
Foster said. “One only needs to
look around our community to
see businesses large and small
that have had great success. You
never know how big your dream
might grow.”
The competition is funded
through the Partnering for the
Future II campaign and is administered by the partnership’s entrepreneurship committee.

Two killed in Lee County head-on car crash
Accident still is
under investigation.
By ANDY HOFFMAN
[email protected]
ARGYLE — Two people were killed
in a high-speed, head-on crash Sunday
night on Iowa 27 in Lee County.
Killed in the accident were Clinton
Jay Meeker, 55, of Donnellson and
Diana Martinez-DeLacruz, 49, of Houston, said Iowa State Trooper Jeremy
Andreasen.
Two other vehicles were involved in
the crash occurring about 9 p.m. on the
four-lane highway south of Argyle.
Andreasen said Meeker was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Impala at a high
rate of speed south in the northbound
lanes of the highway when it struck
the northbound 2007 Nissan Frontier
driven by Martinez-DeLacruz head-on.
Both victims were trapped in their
vehicles and died at the scene.
A third vehicle, a 2007 GMC Sierra
driven by Douglas Layton Harris, 25,
of Oskaloosa then collided with the
Martinez-DeLacruz vehicle. A fourth
vehicle, a semi-tractor trailer driven
by Richard Allen Kolosick, 51, of Cedar
Rapids, also struck the Martinez-DeLacruz vehicle.
Harris and Kolosick also were traveling in the northbound lanes when the
accident occurred.
The semi was owned by National
Freight of Lebanon, Ind., authorities
said.
A passenger in Harris’ vehicle, Lynne
Ann Veldhuizen, 49, also of Oskaloosa,
was taken to an area hospital for treatment of unknown injuries.
Andreasen said an accident recon-

said the accident remains under investigation.
“We don’t know why Meeker was
traveling in the wrong lanes,” he said.
“The roads were wet, and visibility
(was low), but I don’t think that contributed to the accident.”
He said everyone involved in the
accident was wearing seat belts.

Thompson said he has 150 eighth-graders and
only 10 robotic kits. He hopes to get up to 30 kits.
“Kits are full of simple machines. You build

“You are given some problem-solving stuff, like

was sent to prison by
District Judge Mary
Ann Brown on a
charge of second-degree arson.
Rice had been in
custody for 650 days,
in part because she Rice
was ruled mentally
incompetent to stand trial. On several occasions while in jail in lieu of
a $250,000 bond, Rice refused to take
medication to help her condition. Mental health experts have diagnosed her
as being bipolar and schizophrenic.
Heidi VanWinkle, Rice’s court-appointed attorney, told Brown that
Rice has stayed on her medication for
the past several weeks. She recently
was examined by state mental health
experts, who determined she was
competent to stand trial. Instead of
going to trial, Rice agreed to plead
guilty to second-degree arson.
She was charged with setting fire to
the apartment building at 1115 Vine St.
in the early morning hours of Jan. 1,
2014. Four tenants and two firefighters
were treated for non-life-threatening
injuries at Great River Medical Center
in West Burlington.
She originally was charged with
first-degree arson but was allowed to
plead guilty to second-degree arson. If
convicted of the more serious offense,
she could have been sentenced to up to
25 years in prison.
During Monday’s hearing, Brown
rejected a request from VanWinkle to
suspend Rice’s prison sentence and
place her in a residential correctional
facility. VanWinkle said because of
Rice’s numerous mental and physical
problems, she would be better suited
to re-enter society if allowed to gradually make the transition from a residential correctional facility rather
than prison.
However, Brown denied VanWinkle’s request, saying she agreed with
Justin Stonerook, an assistant Des
Moines County attorney, and Eighth
Judicial District corrections officers,
who indicated in a presentence investigation Rice was not an appropriate
candidate for probation.
“This was a very serious offense,”
Brown told Rice, who remained silent
and seated at the defense table during
the proceedings. “You set fire to a place
where you and others lived because of
your anger and frustration.”
In asking for prison, Stonerook
quoted one of the residents, Spencer Larson, as saying he almost died in the fire.
“I still have nightmares of the fire,”
Stonerook said, reading from a letter
Larson sent to prosecutors. “I would
be dead from smoke inhalation within
minutes if I hadn’t been saved by (Burlington) officer Chip Chiprez.”
Stonerook said another resident
who used a wheelchair was saved
by Burlington Battalion Chief Erik
Bullinger, who carried the resident
from the burning building.
At the time of her arrest, Burlington
investigators said Rice to set fire to the
apartment building due to a dispute
she had with neighbors. Investigators
determined Rice used an accelerant to
fuel the fire, which caused in excess
of $60,000 in damage. Authorities said
the fire started near a pile of clothing
in the basement.
Rice was arrested following a
lengthy investigation that included
more than 20 interviews by members
of the Burlington Police Department,
Burlington Fire Marshal Mark Crooks
and investigators from the Iowa State
Fire Marshal’s office.
The fire burned through the first
floor of the brick structure and moved
up to the second floor.
In addition to the prison sentence,
Stonerook also asked Rice be ordered
to pay about $30,000 in restitution to
victims of the fire. Brown took the
matter under advisement, suggesting a
separate hearing should be conducted
before ordering Rice pay that amount
of restitution. A hearing date has not
been set.
When 27 Burlington and West Bur-
lington firefighters responded to the
call, they found smoke pouring from
every apartment window.
In a related matter, the building’s
owner, Dennis Wilson, agreed to pay
$2,500 in fines for several municipal
code violations inspectors discovered
after the fire.
Wilson, 1700 River St., who owns
several rental properties in the Burlington area, was issued five citations
in March 2014 following a joint investigation by several Burlington agencies,
including the fire, police and inspections departments.
According to documents filed late
in Des Moines County District Court,
Wilson admitted to the following
municipal code violations at the apartment building:
• Renting a dwelling unit without
a valid rental permit. Authorities said
Wilson had permits for five units but
not a sixth one in the basement;
• Enlarging and extending the use
of a non-conforming structure;
• Having an inoperable window not
approved for emergency egress or rescue;
• Not having smoke alarms properly
located in the building.
Crooks said Wilson agreed to admit
to the four violations if authorities
dropped a fifth violation.
“It is my understanding the citation
involving not having (enough) fire
extinguishers was dropped,” Crooks
said.
Wilson subsequently had the apartment building leveled.
A Burlington man who coerced a
child into fondling him by promising
to buy her a water gun and Easy Bake
Oven entered a
guilty plea Monday.
Peter Garcia, 40,
of Burlington was
found guilty by District Judge Mary
Ann Brown on a
charge of third-degree sexual assault
in the attack last
Garcia
August on a 12-yearold girl he knew.
Justin Stonerook, an assistant Des
Moines County attorney, told Brown
during the 30-minute hearing he had
negotiated a plea agreement with Garcia’s public defender, James Carter,
allowing Garcia to plead guilty to the
class C felony. In exchange for the plea,
two other third-degree sexual abuse
charges were dismissed.
Stonerook said the three charges
involved the same child.
In finding him guilty, Brown told
him his crime was a forcible felony
requiring he go to prison for up to 10
years. There also will be restrictions
about where he can live.
According to court documents, Burlington detectives became aware of the
assault after a relative of the child took
her to the police department to report
the abuse. After interviewing the child,
detectives spoke with Garcia.
In a video-taped interview after
being read his Miranda rights, Garcia
admitted to forcing the child to touch
his genitalia on three occasions: once
inside a car in a Burlington parking lot;
once near a creek behind his house;
and at a storage facility he rented in
Burlington.
He told police he made a “deal”
with her if she “stroked” his genitalia
he would buy her the water gun she
wanted. He also bought her the toy
oven and then agreed to “take her to
the store (to buy ingredients) so she
could make things in her new Easy
Bake Oven for a birthday party,” court
records state.
The child told detectives she didn’t
want to do what Garcia asked but said
she felt forced to do so out of fear.
Garcia has been in the Des Moines
County jail in lieu of a $15,000 cashonly bond since his arrest last September.
Due to the forcible felony, Brown
could not set an appeal bond in his
case. A sentencing date has not been
set.

FROM THE FRONT
High court’s election-year lineup rich in high-profile cases
By MARK SHERMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
—
The
Supreme Court’s lineup of new
cases is fit for an election year.
Affirmative action, abortion
and another look at the Obama
health care law are before the
court, and they could well be
joined by immigration, giving the
justices a run of cases reading like
a campaign platform.
Also coming are disputes
involving public-sector labor
unions, the death penalty and the
way electoral districts are drawn.
Decisions in these high-profile
cases almost certainly will split
the court along ideological lines,
mirroring the country’s stark
partisan split. What’s more, the
most contentious issues won’t be
resolved until late June, barely
four months before the 2016 presidential election.
What began as a somewhat
sleepy term — especially following major decisions last June on
health care and same-sex marriage — has become much more
interesting, said University of
Pennsylvania law dean Theodore
Ruger.
The accumulation of wrenching social issues and pointed policy disputes at the Supreme Court
at this moment is mostly a matter
of chance.
A legal fight about the regulation of abortion clinics in Texas
has been underway for two and
a half years. President Barack
Obama’s plan to shield from deportation millions of immigrants who
are living in the country illegally
was rolled out a year ago and
almost immediately challenged in
court. Faith-based groups that say
they are forced to be complicit in
providing objectionable birth con-
trol to women covered under their
health plans have been challenging the Obama administration for
more than three years.
It still is possible the immigration dispute will not be heard until
next fall, if at all.
Now that the cases are at the
marble courthouse atop Capitol
Hill, the justices’ decisions could
feed campaign rhetoric already
has been heated on abortion and
immigration, to name just two
issues.
In June 2012, Chief Justice John
Roberts provided the decisive
vote saving Obama’s health care
overhaul in the midst of the president’s campaign for re-election.
A short time later, Republican
candidate Mitt Romney proclaimed as president he would do
what the high court failed to do
that June — get rid of the health
care law. Obama won re-election,
and the law survived.
Ruger said the chief justice
wrote a nuanced opinion that
appeared to show some sensitivity to the looming election.
“I think Roberts recognized
this was going to be an issue in
front of the voters,” Ruger said.
The electorate ultimately would

“For sure I can’t go back to
Syria because now my father is
working in journalism, and we
are blacklisted. As long as the
regime is still ruling, we can’t go
back.”
Assad and his regime control
all media outlets in the country, meaning journalists can’t
disseminate news running
counter to the dictator’s messaging. Karkout’s father was a
dramatic screenwriter in Syria
but decided to turn his talents
toward journalism in the wake
of the revolution.
“He can’t just keep working
in drama while the people are
getting killed,” Karkout said.
“He felt that, ‘I have to do something for my people. I have to say
something. I’m a writer. I have to
write about the Druze people.’ ”
Karkout emphasized his family, among others in favor of the
revolution, are not against Assad
because of his religion — he
belongs to the Alawite sect of
Islam — but because he is a dictator.
Although generally quiet and
soft-spoken, he spoke passionately about his country’s poten-
Climate
Continued from page 1A
Since then, global temperatures and sea levels have continued to rise, and the Earth
has seen an extraordinary run
of extreme weather, including
severe droughts and storms.
This new round of talks
seeks to produce an agreement
requiring countries, rich and
poor, to take action.
While the specifics have yet
to be worked out, the pact is
meant to chart a path toward
reduced reliance on coal, oil
and gas and expanded use of
renewable energy, such as wind
and solar power.
The negotiations will focus
on whether emissions targets
should be binding or voluntary
and how to verify countries are
hitting their targets. Another
big issue will be how to provide the finance and technology
developing countries will need
to reduce their emissions and
cope with the effects of rising
seas, intensifying heat waves
and floods.
“The future of the people
of the world, the future of
our planet, is in your hands,”
Monmouth College’s
Syrian connection
tial.
“We want democracy, good
life and public service. We want
good education,” Karkout said.
“We want Syria to be rich, same
as USA and same as Europe. We
have resources, we have good
and educated people. Why aren’t
we a sophisticated country?
Because of dictatorship. For
sure, we are against him.”
Like most people upon
hearing about the Paris terror
attacks, Karkout was shocked
and saddened by the events. He
is aware of the fear amongst
some Americans terrorists could
infiltrate refugee groups but cautioned this fear — and the fear of
Muslims — is misguided.
“I hate to say it because we
are all humans no matter what
our religion is, but it seems that
I have to say it. Syrians are not
just Muslims,” Karkout said.
“Actually, Syria is one of the
most diverse countries in the
world as it has Christians, Jews
and many other sects.”
As far as his status in the U.S.,
he doesn’t deny recent events
have him concerned about his
future.
“I will not hide that I am concerned about my future status
in the U.S., but I am pretty sure
that I am not in danger,” Karkout
said.
“I am afraid that the unnecessary fear that the Americans
have could make it harder but not
impossible. I just hope that these
fears will not prevent the federal
government from giving us the
Green Card. Because during
this conflict, if we couldn’t stay
in the USA, we have no place to
go other than going back to the
brutal war in Syria.”
U.N. Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon told negotiators in
his opening remarks. “We
cannot afford indecision, half
measures or merely gradual
approaches. Our goal must be a
transformation.”
China and India said they
want the agreement to clearly
reflect industrialized nations
bear the biggest responsibility
for the problem.
President Barack Obama
offered assurances the U.S. isn’t
trying to shirk its duty.
“I’ve come here personally,
as the leader of the world’s
largest economy and the second-largest emitter, to say that
the United States of America
not only recognizes our role
in creating this problem, we
embrace our responsibility to
do something about it,” Obama
told the conference.
Statistics since 1959 from
the U.S. Department of Energy
show the U.S. has been by far
the biggest emitter of carbon
dioxide, the top man-made
greenhouse gas. It has released
about 258 trillion tons of carbon dioxide during the past
half-century, compared with
China’s 158 trillion tons, the figures show.
China is catching up, though,
and now is the world’s biggest greenhouse gas polluter,
accounting for 28 percent of
the world’s current emissions
— twice as much as the United
States. Beijing has pledged to
put a ceiling on its emissions by
2030 as part of the latest negotiations.
Developing countries said
they need financial support and
technology to make the transition to cleaner energy.
On the bustling first day of the
conference, a number of such
initiatives were announced,
including one backed by 19 governments and 28 leading global
investors, including Bill Gates
and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg.
Their initiative would provide billions of dollars in investments to research and develop
clean energy technology, with
the ultimate goal of making it
cheaper and more reliable.
Separately, Indian Prime
Minister Narendra Modi and
French President Francois Hollande unveiled an initiative to
get rich and poor countries to
cooperate on expanding solar
power.
“It’s making the dream of universal access to clean energy
become more real,” Modi said.
Several of the leaders said
the world must keep the average
temperature within 1.8 degrees
Fahrenheit of current levels —
and, if possible, to half that,
to spare island nations threatened by rising seas. The world
already has warmed nearly 1
degree Celsius since the beginning of the industrial age.
Beijing Monday reported one
of the worst spells of air pollution in years, saying levels of
soot were 25 times what the
World Health Organization con-
siders safe. That’s a different
pollution from carbon dioxide,
but both come from burning
fossil fuel, especially coal.
Unlike the Kyoto Protocol,
which had binding emissions
targets for wealthy nations,
the new deal will be based on
a bottom-up approach where
countries set their own targets.
One of the things being negotiated is a ratchet-up mechanism
that would encourage countries
to review and improve their targets every five years.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
— The man accused of a deadly
shooting rampage at a Planned
Parenthood clinic in Colorado
Springs was told Monday he will
be charged with first-degree murder in the killing of three people,
including a police officer, during
the standoff at the facility.
Speaking in a raspy voice,
white-bearded suspect Robert
Lewis Dear appeared via a video
hookup from El Paso County jail,
where he has been held since surrendering to police after the fivehour siege Friday.
Dear wore a padded, white
vest with black straps and gazed
downward during most of the
hearing. It was his first appearance in court in the case.
Dear responded “no questions”
when asked by Chief District
Judge Gilbert Martinez if he had
any questions about his rights.
Public Defender Daniel King,
who represented Colorado theater shooter James Holmes, stood
beside Dear and will act as his
counsel. Dear is expected to be
formally charged Dec. 9.
Victims’ relatives sat in the
courtroom during the hearing.
Dear, 57, is accused of fatally
shooting a university police officer who tried to stop the attack,
an Iraq war veteran and a mother
of two inside the clinic.
The rampage sent nine other
people to a hospital.
Colorado Springs police have
declined to disclose any information on a motive for the attack,
and a judge ordered the sealing of
investigatory court documents at
the request of prosecutors.
A law enforcement official said
Dear told authorities “no more

Black pastors press Trump on tone during closed-door meeting
By JILL COLVIN
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Dozens of
black pastors pressed Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump Monday to
address what some called his
use of racially charged rhetoric,
with several describing a meeting that became tense at times
as attendees raised concerns
about his blunt language.
While some left the gathering
at Trump’s skyscraper in midtown Manhattan with hopes
their message had resonated,
Trump said afterward he had no
plans to change his approach,
which he said had taken him
to “first position in every single
poll.”
“The beautiful thing about the
meeting is that they didn’t really
ask me to change the tone,”
Trump said. “I think they really
City
Continued from page 1A
“The city has never done
that,” Tysland said, before the
meeting, unable to explain why
up-front enforcement has not
been embraced by Burlington
city councils during his tenure.
After the meeting, Scott said,
as a long-time council member,
he has tried to get the city to
enforce building maintenance
and make owners more accountable, but “the political will is not
there.”
The city also could pursue
the state code Chapter 657A,
Tysland said, which gives the
city authority to take title of the
building if a district court judge
rules it is dangerous and abandoned, which again makes the
city responsible for either repairing it, demolishing it or finding a
buyer-developer.
To bypass the process, Van
Haeften has offered the city the
building, Tysland said.
Tysland said the $1 purchase
would save money on 657A legal
fees.
In an interview before the
meeting, Anderson said 300
Washington St. will be expensive to renovate because a major
architectural element, a roof
beam, needs repair.
Tysland estimates the roof
repair at about $25,000.
The rooms also are large, with
want to see victory, because
ultimately it is about, we want
to win, and we want to win
together.”
At a rally later Monday in
Macon, Ga., Trump told a nearly
all-white audience of about 5,000
the meeting was “inspiring” and
“unbelievable.”
“It was a really terrific day,”
he said.
But several pastors who met
in New York with the billionaire
real estate mogul, who has held
a consistent lead in preference
polls of GOP voters for several
months due in large part to his
aggressive style of campaigning,
said the session was a bit more
complicated.
Bishop George Bloomer, who
traveled to the gathering from
North Carolina, said he arrived
in New York with concerns
about “the racial comments that
have been made and the insen-
sitive comments that have been
made,” including an incident earlier this month in which a black
protester was roughed up by
Trump supporters at a rally in
Birmingham, Ala.
Trump said after the incident,
“Maybe he should have been
roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was
doing.”
“I asked him: ‘Are you a racist? People are saying that about
you,’ ” Bloomer said. “If you are
seeking the African-American
community to support you, at
the least, you’re not helping with
these kind of things that are
going on.”
Bloomer said he told Trump
“if he wants to have our ear as
a community, to at least tone
down the rhetoric some kind of
way, tone it down. And he said
that he would.”
Pastor Al Morgan of Launch
Ministries in Raleigh, N.C., said
part of the group’s discussion
focused on whether Trump
should lighten up a bit.
“What he said was that he
would take that into consideration,” Morgan said. “So the
thing was trying to be who he
is, so you have to remain true
to yourself. And, in his defense,
that’s gotten him where he is. So
the thing is, how do you convey a
person’s heart with their personality? That’s the dilemma.”
Trump is seeking to replace
President Barack Obama, who
won two terms in the White
House by bringing together a
coalition of young people, single
women and black and Hispanic
voters.
Democrats maintain an enormous edge with African-American voters, with Republican
presidential candidates faring
poorly among minorities in
the past two elections. In 2012,
according to exit polls conducted for the Associated Press
and television networks, 93
percent of black voters backed
Obama. In 2008, the number was
95 percent.
But Trump has been courting the support of evangelical
black clergy members and other
African-American leaders as he
works to broaden his appeal in a
crowded Republican field.
In Georgia, radio host and
failed 2012 presidential hopeful Herman Cain was among
those who introduced Trump.
Cain was the lone major black
Republican candidate four years
ago. Trump also interrupted his
own 75-minute speech to bring
another black Georgia Republican to the microphone. Bruce
LeVell, who has served as party
chairman in suburban Atlanta’s
Gwinett County, announced his
endorsement, drawing roars
from Trump’s backers.
Monday’s meeting with the
pastors was originally promoted
by the campaign as an endorsement event, in which he would
receive the backing of 100 black
evangelical and religious leaders.
But several of those invited
to the meet-and-greet objected
to that description, saying they
accepted the invitation only
because they wanted to challenge Trump about what he’s
said as a candidate.
Trump kicked off his campaign with a speech in which
he said some Mexican immigrants are rapists and criminals,
and recently drew criticism for
retweeting an image of inaccurate statistics that vastly
overrepresented the number of
whites killed by blacks, among
other errors.
column supports that would
have to be retained if federal
and state historical tax credits
are pursued, Anderson said.
“The curves and columns and
other architectural members
are wonderful but must be preserved to be eligible for federal
and state historic tax credits,
making it an expensive renovation,” she said.
The city may give the building to Downtown Partners Inc.,
Anderson said, since the city
could not apply for grants or federal or state tax credits.
DPI is the local Main Street
organization, headed by Frevert.
Main Street is a national organization, of which the mission is
to preserve and re-purpose historic buildings.
Main Street offers a $15,000
to $100,000 Challenge Grant,
Anderson said, which DPI could
apply for, although it requires a
one-to-one match. The preliminary investment could ensure an
historic renovation and attract a
developer.
Frevert said the DPI task
force is meeting Friday to discuss the project. The organization does have money to match a
grant, he said, but if a developer
is considering the building, “we
don’t want to get between that
and the city.”
The full DPI board meets Dec.
14, he said, which would make
the final decision.
The council decided to wait
until it hears DPI’s decision
before moving forward.
The building dates from 1883.
It is on the National Register of
Historic Places and was among
about 115 buildings surveyed
and accepted in the Burlington
Historic Commercial District
about a year ago.

historian
Rebecca McCarley of SPARK
Consulting in Davenport was
hired to oversee the historic sur-
vey and application process.
She did the research with Hal
Morton, Burlington Historic
Preservation Commission member, on 300 Washington St.
The 26-page site inventory
they prepared states the building’s architectural style is Late
Victorian and Romanesque.
Dr. W. W. Nassau built the
three-story building to house
the post office on the first floor
and to provide commercial
office space.
It was designed by Chicago
architect Stephen V. Shipman,
who had completed the city’s
Grand Opera House to the
immediate north, which no longer exists. Both buildings were
Romanesque, which spurred the
popularity of the style in downtown Burlington, McCarley said,
for the next 10 years.
The Elks Lodge added a
fourth floor in 1907, hiring Kansas architect George Washburn,
who complemented the original
design, but necessarily changed
the roof line and removed a turret. Washburn designed nine
Carnegie libraries, including
Burlington’s, which now houses
the Des Moines Historical Society. He also designed 13 courthouses.

It’s shameful really. Trump
shouldn’t just apologize to people

to members of the Republican Party

before Bush’s Iraq War, before

Barack Obama, a man with good

most American politicians lack.
Then too, there’s the incessant
anger, the lies, the racism, false
piety and poisonous rhetoric of
Republicans who control Washington and most state governments in these Disunited States.
Prozac is no match for their
deliberate, depressing dysfunctional attacks intended to make
everybody mad. Divide and
conquer is the Republican party’s political platform. A policy
that has come back to bite them
in the guise of Donald Trump’s
campaign. The Donald is unveiling the venality of contemporary
Republicanism.
My cynicism detector is beeping loudly this week as Obama
and leaders from 147 countries
meet in Paris.
Their goal over 12 days of
meetings is to agree on how to
halt — if not reverse — manmade global warming. Doing so
could minimize
the deadly effects
of fossil fuels’ bastard spawn — the
climate change
now under way
across the planet.
But can governments, the
business world
and individual
people unite to
cut their carbon-based fossil fuel
emissions that are raising temperatures, melting snow and ice
and disrupting weather?
Not if Republicans can help it.
Even if the leaders can agree,
climatologists still expect global
temperatures to increase by 3.2
degrees Fahrenheit by the end of
the century.
That will speed up melting of
the polar ice caps and glaciers
that is already raising sea levels
and threatening 2 billion people
who live at sea level and the vulnerable include tens of millions
of Americans living on three
coasts.
Some U.S. mayors and governors see it coming. But Congressional Republicans do not
and have no plan for how to deal
with that looming economic and
social catastrophe.
Doing nothing to halt carbon
emissions — which is what
Republicans want — could
see temperatures rise a truly
catastrophic 7 degrees during
this century. That worst-case
scenario is according to some of
the climate experts Republicans
refuse to believe.

protection in return.
They’re getting lots of both for
their money.
Over the weekend, Senate
Majority leader Mitch McConnell
and House Majority Leader
Kevin McCarthy published op-ed
pieces condemning Obama’s
climate efforts. They promised
to prevent any deal he and other
world leaders might work out.
Among their many objections,
Republicans insist the U.S. not
be a party to any global agreement to save the planet from
global warming. Republicans
have become environmental
isolationists. They understand
geography as poorly as they do
meteorology and other scientific
principles.
But speaking in Paris Monday,
Obama was his usual optimistic
self.
“I’ve come here personally, as
the leader of the world’s largest
economy and the second-largest
(carbon) emitter,
to say that the
United States of
America not only
recognizes our
role in creating
this problem,
we embrace our
responsibility
to do something
about it.”
Speak for yourself, Republicans are saying.
But in fact, the president does
speak for most Americans.
Numbers from a new Economist/YouGov poll found 60
percent of Americans believe
human activity is causing climate change.
By party affiliation, 35 percent
of Republicans and 82 percent of
Democrats agree.
Another 22 percent of Americans don’t believe the climate
is changing due to human
activity. Scarier still is 7 percent
don’t believe global climate is
changing at all. They must live
cloistered lives and stay indoors
all the time.
Only 20 percent of Republican
voters prefer candidates for
office with a commitment to battling climate change. But twothirds of Democrats want their
candidates to deal with climate
change.
Sixty-two percent of independents and 80 percent of
Democrats deem climate change
a serious problem. But only 43
percent of Republicans do, a
surprisingly high number that’s
hard to explain given that so
many Republicans think it’s
not a problem caused by — and
should not be resolved by —
humans.
There is hope for righting
the planet, however slight: 22
percent of Republicans (a silent
minority) actually support more
government involvement in the
war on climate change. Twothirds of Democrats and almost
half of independents do too.
Now all those optimists have
to do is vote before it’s too late.

From just an old Vietnam veteran, these folks and, especially
the children, made this one very

For some, the older the smartphone, the better
By MAE ANDERSON
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Between
splashy launches, lavish newphone offers (get a free HDTV
on activation) and frequent software updates slowing down
your old handset, it sometimes
feels like the entire technology
industry is pushing you to buy
the latest smartphone. Yet some
holdouts resist.
Take Zak Sommerfield, 35, a
software analyst in New York,
who has hung onto his LG
Delight flip phone for five years,
even though his friends and
co-workers make fun of it.
“I hate smartphones, I hate
how they take over people’s lives
and they spend all their time
looking at them,” he said. “I’d love
to stay on this phone forever.”
People like Sommerfield are
a rarity. More than 90 percent of
smartphone users trade up for
newer models within two years,
said Ramon Llamas, who tracks
mobile phones at research firm
IDC. But a fraction of the population continues to cling to older
phones, some 3 to 4 years old —
or more.
These upgrade holdouts have
different reasons for standing
athwart techno-progress, yelling
“Stop!” Some reject the trend
toward ever-larger screens, preferring smaller phones that are
Mark Lennihan/Associated Press
A C3 flip phone from Pantech is shown on a keyboard for size
comparison in New York. More than 90 percent of smartphone
users trade up for newer models within two years, according to
experts. But a fraction of the population continues to cling to
older phones, some 3 to 4 years old, or more.
harder to find these days. Others
simply aren’t wowed by the latest features, or see no reason to
spend hundreds of dollars when
their current phones still work
fine.
“Just as we saw with PCs and
tablets, lifetimes on people’s
devices are generally getting a bit
longer,” said Bob O’Donnell, chief
analyst at Technalysis Research.
Every customer counts these
days. Overall smartphone sales
are slowing down — particularly
in industrialized markets such as
the U.S., where most people who
want a smartphone already have
one. IDC forecasts a 10 percent
increase in worldwide smartphone sales this year, but that’s
slowed considerably from 27 percent growth in 2014.
Some manufacturers have
turned to emerging markets for
new sales, but most customers
there can afford only cheaper —
and less profitable — devices. To
keep making money on premium
phones, Apple, Samsung and
their rivals are counting on regular upgrades.
With its latest iPhones, Apple
started an annual upgrade program leasing customers the latest models for a year. Upgrades
particularly are important for
Apple because iPhones account
for more than half of its revenue.
Sprint and T-Mobile also have
leasing options aimed at yearly
iPhone upgrades, but Apple’s
new leasing option has put even
more pressure on carriers. They
depend on regular upgrades to
keep existing customers and sell
them more services, such as bigger data plans or cloud services
and storage. Since a customer
upgrades only once every two
or three years, it’s an “important moment to capitalize on” for
carriers, said FBR analyst Daniel
Ives.
To encourage upgrades, manufacturers have been packing
new phones with cutting-edge
hardware. The latest iPhones
have better cameras and screen
sensors to enable shortcuts and
other menus with a hard press.
Samsung won critical acclaim
for curved screens that spill over
a phone’s edges like a glassy
waterfall.
Phones also get new system
software every year, and many
apps require the latest updates.
Although several older phones
can get the latest versions of
Google’s Android or Apple’s iOS
software, the updates can slow
them down, and the phones
sometimes don’t support all the
new features.
Not surprisingly, Sprint CEO
Marcelo Claure argues having
the latest model is important to
many people. Phones are “the
most valued personal possession
that we have,” Claure said in an
interview. “We use our phone
to capture the memories of our
lives.”
But O’Donnell of Technalysis
said smartphone technology is
“hitting the top of a curve.” As a
NYC’s novel salt warning rule set to take effect
Rule affects some
chain eatery items.
By JAKE PEARSON
and JENNIFER PELTZ
Associated Press
NEW YORK — New York City
begins a new era in nutritional
warnings this week, when chain
restaurants will have to begin
putting a special symbol on highly
salty dishes.
The first-of-its-kind rule, which
takes effect today, requires a saltshaker emblem on some sandwiches, salads and other menu
items topping the recommended
daily limit of 2,300 milligrams —
about a teaspoon — of sodium.
It’s the latest in a series of novel
nutritional moves by the nation’s
biggest city, and it comes as health
advocates, federal regulators and
some in the food industry are trying to get Americans to cut down
on salt. Experts said most Americans consume too much salt,
raising their risks of high blood
pressure and heart problems. But
the plan faces opposition and a
potential court challenge from
restaurant groups and salt producers, who said the city is going
Associated Press
A graphic that will soon be
warning NYC consumers of
high salt content is shown.
overboard.
“When you see this warning
label, you know that item has more
than the total amount of sodium
that you should consume in a
single day,” city Health Commissioner Mary Bassett said Monday
at an Applebee’s in Times Square
as 40 of the chain’s New York Cityarea locations announced they
had added the labels ahead of the
deadline.
The average American consumes about 3,400 mg of salt per
day, and public health advocates
have cheered the measure as a
smart step to make diners aware
of how much sodium they’re
ordering. A TGI Friday’s New York
cheddar and bacon burger counts
4,280 mg, for example, while a
Chili’s boneless Buffalo chicken
salad has 3,460 mg.
But national restaurant and
salt-producers’ organizations said
they plan legal action over the
warnings.
“The people of New York City
should fight against an over-reaching government bureaucracy”
that’s acting on misimpressions
about the risks of salt, Salt Institute trade group President Lori
Roman said Monday.
An international study involving 100,000 people suggested last
year that most people’s salt intake
was OK for heart health, though
other scientists faulted the study.
Restaurateurs said the city
shouldn’t create its own salt-warning scheme when federal regulators have been working on
national sodium guidelines.
Such local requirements put an
“overly onerous and costly burden” on city chain restaurants,
often owned by small-time franchisees, the National Restaurant
Association said Monday.
Health Department officials
said they have clear authority to
require the warnings and believe
the public health benefits out-
weigh any burdens to restaurant
owners.
Indeed, Apple Metro CEO Zane
Tankel said, adding the warnings
won’t affect the bottom line at his
Applebee’s in the area.
“We’re not the food police,
and we’re not telling (customers)
what to do,” he said. “But I think
it’s important that we give them
the opportunity to make the right
decisions, or wrong decisions, if
that’s what they so choose.”
In recent years, New York City
has pioneered banning trans fats
from restaurant meals and forcing chain eateries to post calorie
counts on menus.
The city also led the development of voluntary salt-reduction
targets that have prompted manufacturers to squeeze some sodium
out of products from canned
beans to cookies, and New York
tried to limit the size of some sugary drinks. The beverage industry successfully sued to stop the
sugary-drink size cap, but the city
prevailed when restaurants challenged the calorie-count measure.
The salt warning will apply to
an estimated 10 percent of menu
items of chains with at least 15
outlets nationwide, according to
the Health Department.
result, each new model brings
tweaks and refinements rather
than new must-have features.
“I think it’s a little ridiculous
to give up a perfectly good phone
for a new one that is only slightly
different,” said Kelsey Scott, 25,
from Hutchinson, Kan., who
has an iPhone 5S from 2013 and
doesn’t plan to upgrade.
And while several people
upgraded last year when Apple
made larger-size iPhones for the
first time, matching what Samsung long has had, others prefer
smaller phones. Apple still sells
the 4-inch iPhone 5S, but the
technology is two years old. The
latest, fastest iPhones measure
4.7 inches and 5.5 inches diagonally.
Nathan Jarus, 24, said he’s
been keeping his eyes open for
inexpensive phones with 4-inch
screens, but complains “almost
nobody seems to be making
them.” The computer science
PhD candidate from outside
Rolla, Mo., still uses Google’s
discontinued 3.7-inch Nexus One
phone from 2010.
Brett Shoemaker, 22, from
Hattiesburg, Miss., was a regular upgrader since the original
iPhone debuted in 2007 — but
stopped in his tracks with the
4-inch iPhone 5 in 2012.
Manufacturers are “forcing
users into larger screen sizes for
the latest and greatest technology” he said. “I’m contemplating
not upgrading ever.” Or even
switching to a BlackBerry, he
adds, only half-joking.
High-end phones begin at a
$200, a subsidized price requir-
ing a two-year service contract.
More recently, though, wireless
companies have been pushing
people to pay full retail price —
often about $650 — via monthly
installment plans. Although such
deals also offer discounts on
voice, text and data service, several people see they are paying
more for the phone.
John O’Neill, 49, a tax analyst
in Dallas, said he won’t upgrade
from his iPhone 4, which he has
had for about 5 years — mostly
because he doesn’t want to lose
his $30 unlimited data plan with
Verizon.
“I’ve looked around, and nothing comes close,” he said.
For Mary Reichard, 52, legal
affairs reporter in Springfield,
Missouri, the money and fear
of the unknown keeps her from
upgrading from her iPhone 4s
she has had for two years.
“I long for the old days of one
land line and tiny monthly bills,”
she said.
She also fears she might lose
data if she upgrades.
“I’m a baby boomer, so technology is still kind of scary,” she
said.
And some feel too attached to
their current smartphone to give
it up.
William Hurst, a 22-year-old
student in Portland, Ore., said he
decided not to upgrade because
he feels attached to his 3-year-old
iPhone 5. He even likes its quirks
like a lock screen button that
doesn’t fully work and a crack
from when he dropped it on
cement in his rush to get in line
for a concert.

Cyber Monday sales still on top, but losing luster
Retailers roll out online
deals, expected to rack
up over $3B in sales.
By MAE ANDERSON
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Shoppers
traded bricks for clicks Monday, flocking online to snap up
“Cyber Monday” deals on everything from cashmere sweaters to
Star Wars toys.
Now that shoppers are online
all the time anyway, the 10-yearold shopping holiday has lost
some of its luster as online sales
on Thanksgiving and Black Friday pick up. But enough shoppers have been trained to look
for “Cyber Monday” specific
sales to ensure the holiday still
means big bucks for retailers.
It’s too early for sales figures,
but Monday is expected to be
the biggest online shopping day
ever, likely racing up more than
$3 billion in sales, according to
comScore. Adobe, which tracks
200 million visitors to 4,500 retail
websites, said $490 million had
been spent online as of 10 a.m.
local time Monday, the latest
data available. It’s 14 percent
higher than a year ago.
“A lot of people wait to see if
deals are better on Cyber Monday,” said Forrester Research
analyst Sucharita Mulpuru.
New Yorker Anna Osgoodby
was one of the online shoppers
who spread purchases throughout the holiday shopping weekend.
On Black Friday, she took
advantage of a 35 percent sale
at online accessories retailer
ashandwillow.com, buying earrings, a necklace and bracelet.
Then she bought earrings and
clutches Monday during its 40

A consumer is shown looking at Cyber Monday sales on her computer at her home in Palo Alto, Calif. Retailers rolled out online
deals on so-called “Cyber Monday.” But now that shoppers are online all the time anyway, the 10-year-old shopping holiday is losing
some of its luster.
percent off sale.
“That extra 5 percent convinced me to buy a few more,”
she said.
Some hot sellers were in
scarce supply by early afternoon
Monday. At Target, a Swagway
hoverboard was sold out by early
afternoon. The electronic transportation gadget had been $100
off at $399. Drones and some
Star Wars toys were hard to find,
as well.
“There are certain hot products, hover boards seem to be a
phenomenon, they’re selling out
everywhere,” said Scot Wingo,
chairman of ChannelAdvisor,
which provides e-commerce services to retailers.
Adobe found 15 out of 100
product views returned an outof-stock message as of 10 a.m.,
two-and-a-half times the normal
rate.
And there were a few brief outages at sites like Neiman Marcus
and Target and online payments
company PayPal reported a brief
interruption in service.
Retailers have been touting
online deals since the beginning of November. And they no
longer wait for Monday to roll
out Cyber Monday deals, either.
Amazon started “Lighting Deals”
Saturday and Wal-Mart began its
Cyber offers 8 p.m. Sunday.
“It’s no longer about one day,
but a season of digital deals,”
said Matthew Shay, president of
retail trade group The National
Retail Federation.
That seems to have taken a toll
on brick-and-mortar shopping.
Frenzied crowds seemed to be a
thing of the past on Black Friday
— the busy shopping day after
Thanksgiving — and sales fell
to $10.4 billion this year, down
from $11.6 billion in 2014, according to preliminary figures from
research firm ShopperTrak.
“Consumers are recognizing
the Internet is the place to go for
a deal any time, any day,” said
Gene Alvarez, managing vice
president of research firm Gartner.
“I personally skip Black Friday just to shop Cyber Monday,”
said Mark Flores, a parks and
recreation director from Lynwood, Calif.
But this year, he started online
shopping on Black Friday, buying five pairs of Sorel and Uggs
shoes for gifts and eight Chromecasts that were two for $50
instead of $35 off. He planned to
shop Cyber Monday too, but did
not find compelling deals.
“Nothing standing out so far,”
he said midmorning Monday.
Research firm comScore
expects online sales to rise 14
percent to $70.06 billion During
the November and December
shopping period, slowing slightly
from last year’s 15 percent rise.
Online sales make up 10 percent
of overall retail sales, but that
increases to 15 percent during
the holidays as online shoppers
snap up Black Friday and Cyber
Monday deals, according to
research firm Forrester.
The name “Cyber Monday”
was coined in 2005 by the
National Retail Federation’s
online arm, called Shop.org, to
encourage people to shop online
The name also was a nod to
online shopping being done at
work where faster connections
made it easier to browse. Now,
even with broadband access,
Cyber Monday continues to be
a day when retailers pull out big
promotions.
What the flock? ‘12 Days of Christmas’ items top $34K
By JOE MANDAK
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — The cost
of 10 lords a-leaping increased
3 percent from last year, but
nine of the other 12 gifts listed
in the carol “The Twelve Days
of Christmas” stayed the same
price as last year, according to
the 32nd annual PNC Wealth
Management Christmas Price
Index released Monday.
The index is a whimsical
way the Pittsburgh-based bank
tracks inflation.
The set of gifts spelled out
in the final verse of the song
would cost $34,131 this year,
or 0.6 percent more than the
adjusted 2014 price of $33,933.

Salvation Army
kettle gets
$500K check
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — The Salvation Army has wasted little time
cashing this donation-bucket
check.
Salvation Army officials in
Minnesota and North Dakota
said a couple dropped a $500,000
check into a red kettle Saturday
outside a Cub Foods in suburban
Minneapolis.
Spokeswoman Annette Bauer
says it’s the biggest check ever in
the Minneapolis area and likely
the biggest ever in the two states.
Bauer said the couple has a
history of donations and prefers
to remain anonymous. She said
they alerted Salvation Army
officials the check was coming
and asked them to open the kettle and remove the check before
volunteers who count donations
could see their names.
Bauer called it “an astonishing
gift” at a time when the division
was running about a half-million
dollars behind the same point
last year.
toric prices of turtle doves and
swans after realizing the prices
quoted by vendors didn’t reflect
the birds’ overall value on the
open market during the years.
“The headline, I think, is that
inflation in this economy, with
the sort of tepid recovery we’ve
seen, is almost nonexistent,”
said Jim Dunigan, chief investment officer of PNC’s asset
management group.
While the good news is the
price of consumer goods isn’t
rising much, it also means
demand for those goods is
down, at least partly due to
wage stagnation.
The government’s Consumer
Price Index has pegged inflation at about 0.2 percent, Dunigan said.
The only other items to
increase in price since last year
were a partridge in a pear tree
and two turtle doves.
The bird in the bush rose 3.5
percent overall, mostly because
partridges now cost $25 each,
up from $20, because partridges
increasingly are popular as
gourmet food. Pear trees inched
up from $188 to less than $190.
Turtle doves increased 11.5
percent, from $260 to $290,
mostly due to increased grain
prices that pushed up feed
costs.
The lords a-leaping are more
expensive because labor costs
increased their price from

Big loss provides big gains for SCC guard
Briheam Anthony
lost 32 pounds in the
offseason and is now
quicker than ever.
By BEN SCHUFF
[email protected]
Briheam Anthony’s shirt had
darkened, the result of sweat
absorbing into the fabric.
For months, Anthony, a sophomore guard on the Southeastern
Community College men’s basketball team, had been focused
on losing weight. His offseason workout regimen shed 32
pounds from his six-foot, fourinch frame.
Now a few weeks into the
season, maintaining his physical form has been a top priority,
which partly explained the long
sleeve gray thermal that clung to
his upper body underneath his
practice jersey.
“I talked to the coaches (and)
they were telling me that one of
the main reasons I wasn’t playing (last season was) I wasn’t as
quick as everybody else,” said
Anthony, who has gone from 225
pounds last season to 193 now. “I
was heavy. I was over-sized for a
guard.”
A process that required as
many changes off the court as
on it has made Anthony a threat
through the first third of the season. He’s started the last eight
games for SCC and has been one
of the team’s top scorers.
Anthony spent the summer in
his hometown of Philadelphia.
He wanted to improve all facets
of his game from ball handling
and shooting to defense. His
method of getting to the neighborhood courts has helped
him earn more playing time in
junior-college gyms.
Frustration set in for Anthony
last season. He came off the
bench for the first time since his
freshman year of high school.
When he did, he felt slow. Soon,
fatigue set in.
“Last year when I played 10
minutes against a team that liked
to run, I’d be done. Exhausted,”
he said.
“Basketball is a game of quickness and speed. The quicker and
faster you can become, the more
effective you are, particularly
from a defensive standpoint,”
SCC coach Terry Carroll said.
“You’ve got to be able to stay
down and move your feet for long
periods of time. If you’re caring
extra weight, that becomes very,
very difficult to do.”
Anthony made some significant changes to slim down.
He substituted salads and fruit
smoothies for fried foods and
bread, which he still doesn’t eat.
In addition to the weight loss,
lifting weights helped increase
his vertical leaping ability by
about four inches. His summer
exercise routine consisted of
running a little more than a mile
to the basketball courts, running
up and down the court for three
or four hours of five-on-five and
then “I would put my stuff back
on and I would run home,” he
said.
His stuff?
“I was running with sweat
pants on and two shirts, at least
3 miles a day,” he said. “I just ran
every single day, no matter if it
was 103 degrees.”
Anthony described the competition he played against over
the summer as “intense.” Penn
State’s Shep Garner and Mike
Watkins, Miami’s Ja’Quan Newton and VCU’s Samir Doughty
were a few names he mentioned
playing with.
Asked if he picked anything up
from playing with some of Philadelphia’s Division I talent, he
said, “Every possession counts
if you want to win the game and
to win, you have to play defense.”
That lesson followed him back
to SCC. In the Blackhawks’ most
recent game against Lake Land
College on Saturday, Anthony
found himself guarding William
Tinsley in the second half. Tinsley scored 18 first-half points,
but finished with only seven in
the second half, thanks in part to
Anthony.
The defensive end of the floor
is one area he knows the changes
he’s made have benefited him
most.

AMES, Iowa — Iowa State has

On Monday, Campbell began
the arduous task of turning
around a program whose challenges have vexed coaches much

Campbell, 36, took over for
the popular Paul Rhoads, whose
tenure came to an end with a
30-6 loss at West Virginia over
the weekend. The Cyclones went

declined because he wanted to

But the Rockets failed to reach
the final after losing to Western
Michigan on Friday, and Pollard
closed the deal with Campbell
the next day before compensation ever came up.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. —
The Minnesota Vikings have
developed one of the toughest
defenses in the NFL under the
demanding, experienced and
creative direction of coach Mike
Zimmer.
If
Adrian
Peterson’s
league-leading rushing total is
the face of this team’s identity,
the aggressive, disciplined and
well-rounded defense is the rest
of the body, as well as the mind
and the soul.
The Vikings, who have given
up the second-fewest points in
the NFL, took back sole possession of first place in the NFC
North with another hallmark
performance by the players paid
to keep the other team from
scoring in a 20-10 victory Sunday
at Atlanta.
There’s no better time of the
year for this defense to be thriv-
ing.
“Anytime you have a north in
your division, NFC North or AFC
North, this is a pretty good ingredient going forward when the
weather starts getting colder and
things like that,” Zimmer said
Monday as the Twin Cities area
was topped with its first significant snowfall of the season.
The Vikings (8-3), who have
a four-game winning streak on
the road for their longest since
1998, play three of their next four
games at home. It’s the stretch

University of Minnesota before

team again.
The last regular-season game
is at Green Bay. Then there could
be the playoffs, with the possibility of a cold-site contest or two.
“Everybody’s doing their job
and understanding their assignment and scheme and playing
fast,” linebacker Anthony Barr
said. “So hopefully guys can continue to play at a high level, and
I think we’ll continue to be successful.”

Iowa native Marcus Paige
expected to play in ACC/Big Ten
Challenge.
By AARON BEARD
Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Marcus Paige
had targeted his return from a broken right
hand in time to play in No. 9 North Carolina’s
matchup with No. 2 Maryland in the ACC/Big
Ten Challenge.
It appears the preseason Atlantic Coast
Conference co-player of the year is right on
schedule.
The school issued a news release Monday announcing that the senior guard is
expected to take the court for the first time
this season on Tuesday night. That depended
on him making it through a practice later in
the afternoon without any setbacks, though
both Paige and coach Roy Williams sounded
confident that Paige would be ready.
“If he feels good, he’ll start,” Williams said
Monday at a regularly scheduled news conference. “I think he earned that over three
years.”
Williams said he wasn’t sure whether
Paige would start over sophomore point Joel
Berry II or sophomore wing Theo Pinson,
though he said he was leaning toward Pinson for now.
Paige hasn’t played this season after
breaking a bone in his non-shooting hand on
Nov. 3, an injury projected to keep him out
three to four weeks.
The Marion, Iowa native said last month
that he was getting daily questions on campus about whether he would be ready for the
Maryland game. He went through a full practice Saturday, and Paige said the only time he
thought about the injury was when he looked
down and noticed the padding protecting his

hand.
“I’m not putting really any pressure on
myself,” Paige said. “It’s my first game back,
I’m probably not going to be ‘peak Marcus,’
but I’d like to be. And if I am, it’s great. But I’m
not expecting myself to be perfect tomorrow.
... I’m just happy to be back playing.”
He was coming off a season in which he
played through nagging foot problems most
of the year, prompting him to say he didn’t
want to rush back and risk not being 100 percent healthy.
Paige’s absence was a rarity for UNC
considering he had missed one game for his
career and averaged 34 minutes over the past
two seasons as both floor leader and big-shot
maker.
The Tar Heels (5-1) were the preseason
No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 as well
as the ACC favorite with nine of their top 10
starters back. But UNC stumbled at Northern Iowa in what was supposed to be Paige’s
homecoming game.
Tuesday’s matchup pits UNC against one
of its fellow founding members of the ACC in
Maryland, who bolted for the Big Ten before
last season.

LAWRENCE, Kan. — For
months on end, Cheick Diallo
would text Kansas coach Bill
Self, trying to learn in a roundabout way whether there was
any movement in the process of
getting him eligible.
He’s still texting Self these
days.
Now, the topic of conversation
is how practice is going.
The five-star prospect was
cleared last week to begin
playing for the fourth-ranked
Jayhawks beginning Tuesday
night against Loyola. It ends a
months-long saga in which the
NCAA claimed to have been
examining his coursework from
a New York prep school, but
ultimately decided that he had
only accepted a small amount of
improper benefits that resulted
in a five-game suspension.
“He should have been playing all along,” Self said Monday,
continuing to take shots at what
he called a flawed investigation.
“The NCAA, they have their
reasons for doing what they do.
Nobody is doubting that. But
we had a chance collectively to
do the right thing. I don’t think
anything done by the NCAA was
done in the kid’s best interest at
all.”
Kansas spent “six figures,”
according to athletic director
Sheahon Zenger, as it sought
to answer all of the NCAA’s
questions. Diallo’s case slowly
became a touch-point on
whether the NCAA should have
the authority to determine
whether student-athletes are eli-
11 shots from deep, the last from
Avry Holmes for a 37-27 lead with
just over three minutes to play in
the half.
But Murphy’s only 3 of the
game capped a 9-0 run to pull
Minnesota back within one and
his 3-point play came during
another 9-0 surge in the third
quarter to put Minnesota ahead
62-56.
The undersized Gophers
were outrebounded in each of
their first six games, but were
the aggressors on the glass on
Monday night. They held a 31-25
advantage and Murphy did his
best to make the versatile Blossomgame work for his looks.
Blossomgame converted a
3-point play and hit a deep 3 to
cut Minnesota’s lead to 76-73
with 2:23 to play, but Mason hit
a couple of free throws and Murphy scored on a tip-in to help
hold the Tigers off.
It was a solid win for the
rebuilding Gophers against their
first quality opponent at Williams Arena this season. They
faced Missouri-Kansas City,
Louisiana-Monroe and Omaha
in their first three home games of
the season.
The lack of quality opponents, coupled with the fact the
Gophers failed to qualify for even
the NIT tournament last season,
led to another sparse crowd at
Williams Arena, once the most
popular sports venue in town.
Those that braved the first
snow of the year saw an exciting, Continued from page 1B

“Looking back, it kind of felt
like when I was playing defense,
everything was so fast, like I

“When I did, it was a foul or

keep up without fouling. Late in

gible to compete.
It also raised questions about
the fairness and validity of its
investigative process.
“The ball has gotten rolling to
the point — and certain things
have been exposed — that would
make one look at it to see how we
can do things better,” Self said. “I
think if the end result is there’s
some improvement that comes
from that, I think everybody
would be happy.”
Diallo, a 6-foot-9 prospect
from Mali, has been allowed to
practice while the NCAA examined his background, but Self
said he mostly worked with the
scout team since the start of
November.
He’s considered raw offensively, but his never-stop energy
and ability to crash the boards
has made him a terror in those
workouts. Self believes he makes
everybody else try harder just by
being on the floor, and that may
be a bigger contribution than
points and rebounds.
It is also what makes NBA
scouts salivate over his potential.
“I just try everything hard
because I know one day I’ll
know the benefits,” said Diallo,
who grew up playing soccer.
“The classroom, basketball, I try
everything hard.”
Kansas guard Wayne Selden
Jr. said the Jayhawks never
spent much time worrying about
whether Diallo would be eligible.
But he also acknowledged that
when the news broke, while they
were in the hotel during the Maui
Invitational, there were plenty
of cheers coming out of their
rooms.
“He’s very mature, a lot more
mature than a lot of us, to be

be patient with him.”
Self said that Diallo won’t
start on Tuesday night, but he
hopes the power forward is able
to play considerable minutes to
make up for lost time. After playing Loyola (1-5), the Jayhawks
have games against Harvard and
Holy Cross before playing Oregon State in Kansas City.
They don’t play a true road
game until visiting San Diego
State on Dec. 22.
“Looking back, it
kind of felt like when
I was playing defense,
everything was so
fast, like I wasn’t able
to keep up. When I
did, it was a foul or
something like that.
Now I can keep up

Bryant begins farewell tour
back home in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA — Kobe Bryant’s farewell tour begins in the
city that loves and hates him.
Bryant will play his first
road game since announcing
he’ll retire after this season in
his hometown Tuesday night
against the winless Philadelphia
76ers (0-18).
The five-time NBA champion’s
relationship with Philly fans has
been turbulent throughout his
20-year NBA career in Los Angeles. Some love him. Some hate
him. Regardless, nearly everyone respects his superstar talent.
With the 76ers, Eagles and Flyers all struggling, Bryant’s return
was a hot topic on sports radio
on Monday.
“I always enjoyed watching
Kobe play and consider him
one of the greatest ever, but he
didn’t want to play for the Sixers
so I held that against him,” said
longtime Philadelphia sports fan
John Passero. “But if the Sixers
couldn’t win it all, I rooted for
Kobe.”
No doubt, Bryant will get
a rousing ovation in an arena
where he’s heard mostly boos
over the past two decades. People don’t come to watch the Sixers, who’ve lost an NBA record
28 straight games and are one
defeat away from breaking the
said he wanted to come home
and “cut their hearts out” by winning the series in Philadelphia.
The Lakers did just that, winning
three straight games to clinch
the NBA championship.
“I liked Kobe until he said he
wanted to rip our hearts out,”
said Michael Rivers, a part-time
season ticketholder. “He was too
cocky, too arrogant and that was
too personal. Just say you want
to win and that’s enough.”
Bryant has never apologized
for that comment.
“I’m not apologizing for saying I’m going to come kick some
(butt),” Bryant told reporters
before a game in Philadelphia in
2012. “I’m just not going to do it.
But I certainly embrace the city
and I love everything that it’s
taught me. So, I’m deeply appreciative of it.”
The folks at Bryant’s former
high school certainly appreciate him. Bryant often returned
to Lower Merion High School
when the Lakers came to Philly.
He’s given pep talks to the basketball team, worked out at the
practice gym and also donated
about $500,000 to the school. His
former high school coach, Gregg
Downer, said Bryant still wears
his Aces shorts under his Lakers
shorts.
At a dedication ceremony for
the Kobe Bryant Gymnasium five
years ago, Bryant told the crowd
at the high school: “This is where
I came from. This is where I grew
up. I didn’t go to college. This is
my university. This is where my
memories lie.”
Bulls end Spurs’ win streak
Pau Gasol’s doubledouble leads Chicago
over San Antonio.
By JAY COHEN
Associated Press
CHICAGO — Pau Gasol had
18 points, 13 rebounds and three
blocked shots, and the Chicago
Bulls snapped San Antonio’s
five-game winning streak with a
92-89 victory over the Spurs on
Monday night.
Jimmy Butler scored 14 points
and reserve Doug McDermott
had 12 for Chicago in the opener
of a four-game homestand.
Joakim Noah contributed eight
points, seven assists and 11
rebounds in 24 minutes off the
bench.
Gasol blocked LaMarcus
Aldridge on a drive with 1:06 left,
and then hit one of two foul shots
on the other end for a 90-89 lead.
After Manu Ginobili missed for
San Antonio, Butler hit two free
throws with 10.6 seconds left.
The Spurs had one last
chance, but Kawhi Leonard
and Tony Parker each missed
3-point attempts in the final seconds. Parker’s try was partially
blocked by Derrick Rose, who
finished with 11 points and six
assists.
Leonard had 25 points and
eight rebounds for San Antonio, which had won nine of 10.
Aldridge added 21 points and
12 rebounds, and Parker had 13
points and nine assists.
The Spurs led 73-70 after three
quarters, but the Bull opened the
fourth with an 11-2 run. Tony
Snell sparked the surge with a
3-pointer and a driving layup.
Chicago played without
guards Kirk Hinrich and Aaron
Brooks. Brooks has a left hamstring injury, and Hinrich is
recovering from a hip pointer.
AILING DUNLEAVY
Bulls forward Mike Dunleavy
Jr. is planning to see two specialists this week after he had a
setback in his recovery from offseason back surgery.

Spurs forward Boris Diaw (33) during the first half in Chicago on
Monday.
Coach Fred Hoiberg said Dunleavy is going to stop his on-court
work and focus on rehabbing the
injury for about two weeks.
The 35-year-old Dunleavy had
lower back surgery on Sept. 25
and was expected to be out eight
to 10 weeks. He re-signed with
Chicago in July after he averaged
9.4 points and shot 40.7 percent
from 3-point range in 63 games
last season.
PRAISING KOBE
Gasol said he wants retiring
Lakers star Kobe Bryant to have
as much fun as possible for the
rest of his final season. Bryant
announced Sunday that this
would be his last year.
Gasol played with Bryant for
six-plus seasons, winning consecutive NBA titles in 2009 and
2010.
“He’s a hard-working guy that
wants to be the best, he doesn’t
settle for anything less and he’s
going to try to be and will be
exceptional,” Gasol said.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich
also praised Bryant’s competitiveness.
“Beyond his ability, he’s one
of those guys that brought it
every night,” he said. “He wanted
to destroy the opponent every
night. Just a fierce competitor for
all those years, night after night.
Most players don’t know what
that is and he did it.”
TIP-INS
Spurs: Tim Duncan had 12
rebounds, but San Antonio was
outrebounded 51-47.
Bulls: Noah played in his
557th game with Chicago, passing Dave Corzine for ninth on the
franchise list.

league record for most losses to
start a season. Fans come to see
marquee opponents and nobody
fills the seats like Kobe.
Born in Philadelphia, Bryant
spent much of his childhood living in Italy where his father, Joe
Bryant, played pro basketball for
several years. When his family
moved back to the United States,
Bryant went to Lower Merion
High School, located in an affluent suburb about nine miles west
of downtown Philadelphia.
He once said early in his
career that he wasn’t from Philly
because he didn’t live within the
city limits. That didn’t sit well
with local fans.
“He was a spoiled rich kid who
grew up in a fancy suburb,” said
Louis Manitti, a former season
ticketholder. “He was never one
of us. He wasn’t a hard-working
blue-collar guy.”
Local media were critical
when Bryant decided to skip
college and turn pro in 1996. The
Sixers had the first pick that year
and chose Allen Iverson. Bryant
went 13th to Charlotte, which
traded him to Los Angeles. Bryant’s dad played four seasons
with the Sixers, but he declared
he grew up rooting for the Lakers. Of course, Sixers fans didn’t
appreciate that slight.
But nothing turned fans
against Bryant more than a bold
statement he made during the
2001 NBA Finals when the Lakers played Philadelphia. Iverson
led the Sixers to a victory on the
road in Game 1 and the Lakers
won Game 2. Afterward, Bryant

Ravens win on scoop six No QB quandary in Indy
Will Hill returns
blocked field goal 64
yards as time expires.
By TOM WITHERS
Assocaited Press
CLEVELAND — The Ravens
finally got a break that didn’t
mean they were losing another
player.
Will Hill returned a blocked
field goal 64 yards for a touchdown as time expired, giving
Baltimore a 33-27 win Monday
night over the luckless Cleveland
Browns, who lost their sixth
straight game along with starting quarterback Josh McCown.
Travis Coons lined up to kick a
potential game-winning 51-yard
field goal with 3 seconds to go
for the Browns (2-9), but it was
deflected by defensive end Brent
Urban, who was playing his first
NFL game for the injury-riddled
Ravens (4-7). Hill scooped it up
and rumbled down the left sideline for an improbable win, stunning a Cleveland crowd which
moments earlier was ready to
celebrate.
Ravens quarterback Matt
Schaub, making his first start
since 2013, threw two touchdown passes.
McCown injured his collarbone in the fourth quarter and
was replaced by Austin Davis,
whose 42-yard TD pass to Travis Benjamin tied it with 1:47
remaining.
The Browns appeared to be in
position to pull out a comeback
win after cornerback Tramon
Williams intercepted Schaub
with 50 seconds left at Baltimore’s 46.
But as Cleveland attempted
to get closer for Coons, Davis
wasted valuable time because
of a communication issue with
the sideline and the QB couldn’t
get out of bounds after a scramble, forcing the Browns to call a
timeout.
But as Coons, who was 18 for
18 this season, lined up for his
long kick, it appeared the Ravens
were on their way to another
close loss. All 11 of Baltimore’s
games have been decided by less
than eight points, and the Ravens
have been on the wrong side of
most of those.
However, Urban got some
penetration on the line and got
his hand on Coon’s low kick. Hill
took it from there, finding his
way to the end zone.
Schaub finished 20 of 34 for
232 yards and his first TDs since
Dec. 23, 2013.
McCown, who has played hurt
most of this season and was only
starting because Johnny Manziel
got benched, was 21 of 38 for 212
yards and a TD.
Vikings
Continued from page 1B
Zimmer tends to ration the
compliments, perhaps an overlooked reason among many why
the Vikings have become such
a force on defense. The Falcons
scored a meaningless touchdown in the closing minutes, and
the coach didn’t miss his opportunity to urge the group to be
better in the future at finishing a
game strongly.
“We’re going to have to that
Super Bowl trophy in our hands
to satisfy him,” cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said, smiling.
The players hardly disagreed,
though.
“You can always do better.
We’re just trying to strive for
greatness. We want to be champions,” Barr said.
The key to the scheme can
sound quite cliche, but pass rushers not overrunning a play in pursuit of a sack and the secondary
resisting temptation to chase a
turnover can be critical toward
success.
“That’s really what it’s about.
Just doing your job. All 11 guys
being where they’re supposed to
be when the defense is called,”
defensive end Brian Robison
said. “If we do that, we’ve shown
we can be pretty dang good. But
we’ve also shown that when we
don’t do that, we can be pretty

definitely want to keep the focus
small. All our focus right now is
on the San Francisco 49ers.”
The 49ers (3-8) come in last in
the NFC West after back-to-back
losses and are 0-5 on the road.
That would seem to bode well
for a Bears team that regained
its footing after loss at home to
Denver by knocking off Aaron
Rodgers and the Packers last
Thursday.
The victory was just the second in eight games at Lambeau
Field for Chicago. Not only did
the Bears spoil Brett Favre’s jersey retirement celebration, they
held Rodgers to his worst passer
rating as a starter at Lambeau
(62.4).

Atlanta.
mediocre. We just have to keep
doing what we’ve been doing
here lately.”
Elite talent can’t be discounted, either.
Barr’s play, despite an injured
left hand he confirmed Monday
was broken three games ago, has
been Pro Bowl-caliber. Linval
Joseph and Everson Griffen have
led the way on the line.
The defensive backs had one
of their best collective performances at Atlanta, too. With
star safety Harrison Smith out,
steering Antone Exum Jr. into
his first career start, the Vikings
kept NFL receiving leader Julio
Jones quiet and intercepted Matt
Ryan twice.
“I think everybody just goes
out and tries to play for each
other,” Exum said. “When you
make a mistake, it’s not just
about you making a mistake.
You’re trying to think about, ‘Oh,
man, I could have left the corner
out to dry on that one, or I wasn’t
in the right gap and now I put the
linebacker in a hard spot.’ We’re
not just hurting ourselves, but
we’re playing for the guy beside
us.”
The Bears also stopped the
Packers after they drove to the
8 in the closing minute, with
Rodgers throwing four incomplete passes. Porter, who played
for Fox in Denver, broke up one
intended for James Jones in the
end zone on third-and-goal after
coming through with an interception on Green Bay’s previous
possession.
“He’s one of the smarter corners I’ve played with,” said safety
Chris Prosinski, who in his second start filling in for the injured
Antrel Rolle forced a fumble
that led to a touchdown. “A lot
of times you have safeties giving
corners calls. In this case a lot of
times Tracy is on top of it and is
actually making calls before us.”
It didn’t hurt, either, that Cutler continued his steady play
behind center, throwing for 200
yards and a touchdown without
getting picked off. It was the
third time in five games he did
not throw an interception, and
with just six in 10 games, he is
well off the pace that left him
tied for the league lead with 18
a year ago. In 2014, he had 12
through his first 10 games.
The improved play at quarterback and from a rebuilt defense
have helped the Bears weather
injuries on both sides while trying to find the right mix.
There still is room for
improvement, particularly when
it comes to stopping the run.
The Bears ranked 29th in that
area through Sunday, but the
defense was 14th overall. That’s
a big jump for a unit that ranked
among the worst in franchise
history the past two years. And
it’s one of the reasons the Bears
are starting to look more like a
playoff team.
Hasselbeck’s perfect
comeback story isn’t a
threat to Luck’s job.
By MICHAEL MAROT
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Matt Hasselbeck’s inspiring comeback
might be gaining popularity outside the Colts’ locker room.
Inside the team complex,
nothing has changed.
Coach Chuck Pagano made it
clear Monday that the 40-yearold quarterback with the 4-0
record will return to backup
duty when Andrew Luck returns
from a lacerated kidney and partially torn abdominal muscle.
“Andrew is our starting quarterback,” Pagano said, essentially laughing off the notion that
there’s any quarterback controversy in Indy.
“When he is healthy and he
is 100 percent healthy and the
doctors and our trainers say he
is ready to roll then he is going to
be under center.”
Of course nobody knows
when Luck actually will be 100
percent.
After suffering the two most
recent injuries in a season-saving victory against Denver on
Nov. 8, Pagano said Luck would
miss two to six weeks.
On Monday, at the midway
point of the initial timetable,
Pagano said only that Luck is
“doing better” and is considered
week to week — a phrase he
uses to suggest a return is not
necessarily imminent.
Last week, Luck said his rehab
activities have increased and he
remains confident of playing
again this season even though
he’s not yet returned to practice.
Until then, it’s Hasselbeck’s
job and the comparisons have
helped fuel a public debate
Pagano called “ludicrous.”
Hasselbeck has won all four of
his starts this season, giving him
twice as many victories as Luck,
who has made seven starts.
And with Hasselbeck running
the show, the Colts’ offense has
finally started to look more like
the one people expected when
Indy was the trendy preseason
pick to dethrone defending Super
Bowl champion New England.
The result: Luck’s win over
Denver and Hasselbeck’s past
two wins have Indianapolis (6-5)
on a three-game winning streak.
All three victories came
against foes outside the AFC
South, against playoff contenders and despite an ever-expanding injury list.
The latest addition is running
back Ahmad Bradshaw, who will
finish his third straight season in
Indy on injured reserve after sustaining a wrist injury in Sunday’s
game.
But with December looming
and Hasselbeck thriving, the
once-struggling Colts appear to
be surging just in time to take
advantage of a seemingly favorable schedule that could help
them capture a third straight
division crown.
For that, Pagano is thankful.
“He (Hasselbeck) does a great
job of preparing. He takes care
of himself, he understands foot-
ball, he understands what we’re
doing, he works extremely hard
Monday through Sunday preparing himself, watching himself,
correcting himself, getting the
plan down,” Pagano said. “Obviously, at his age, being 4-0 as a
backup quarterback it’s great
for us. We’re very, very fortunate
and I just hope he keeps it going.”
Luck, meanwhile, is 2-5 and
tied for the third-most interceptions (12) in the NFL despite
sitting out four games with injuries. Only two qualifying quarterbacks, Nick Foles and Peyton
Manning, have lower ratings
than Luck’s 74.9, too.
And there are other concerns
to deal with.
Frank Gore rushed 19 times
for 26 yards in Sunday’s 25-12
victory over Tampa Bay, a game
in which Indianapolis averaged a
paltry 1.04 yards per carry. Indy’s
revamped offensive line also
gave up three sacks and 11 quarterback hits.
But Hasselbeck isn’t worried
about the public discussion.
He’s content playing his role
until Luck is healthy enough to
reclaim the starting job.
“I obviously wish Andrew
wasn’t hurt, like everybody in
the state of Indiana,” Hasselbeck
said last week.
“Everyone wishes he was 100
percent and that he was the guy
under center. But that’s part of
my job. I have to be ready to go
and to help carry his team while
he’s out.”
Packers up and running
Revived running game a
bright spot for puzzling
Packers.
Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Eddie
Lacy is finally getting the football. Now he just has do a better
job of holding onto it.
After being demoted to the
Packers’ No. 2 running back spot
behind veteran James Starks,
Lacy has put together the first
back-to-back 100-yard rushing
games of his career, gaining 100
yards on 22 carries at Minnesota and 105 yards on 17 carries
during the Packers’ Thanksgiving night loss to Chicago.
For the struggling offense,
he’s been the bright spot with
one troubling exception: He’s
fumbled four times in the past
five games, including losing one
against the Bears that landed
him back on the bench for the
remainder of the first half.
“As a ball carrier, that’s what
you don’t want, especially when
it turns into points for the other
team,” Lacy said Monday as the
Packers prepared for Thursday
night’s game at Detroit. “It’s
something that you have to put
in the back of your mind because
you don’t want that to slow you
down for the rest of the season,
but it’s something that you don’t
want to happen as a ball carrier.”
While putting together back-
to-back 1,100-yard seasons in
2013 and 2014, Lacy fumbled just
four times. He went 325 carries
between the first fumble of his
career, in the 2013 regular-season opener at San Francisco, and
his next fumble, in Week 3 last
season at Detroit. He then fumbled two more times last season.
Lacy’s fumble against the
Bears came at the end of an
impressive 15-yard run during
the second quarter, giving him 72
yards on 10 carries. He didn’t see
the field again for the rest of the
half and ended up getting only
seven more carries (for 33 yards).
He also had four receptions
for 34 yards and a touchdown
during the first half, meaning 14
of his 21 touches and 106 of his
139 total yards came before his
miscue.
“That’s not the way you carry
the ball,” coach Mike McCarthy
said immediately after the game,
and he promised there would be
a greater focus on ball security
this week. Lacy was carrying the
ball away from his body on the
play, which allowed Bears safety
Chris Prosinski to poke it out
from behind.
“Anytime there’s a fundamental that is not performed, at
practice you obviously heighten
the emphasis for it,” McCarthy
said. “Anytime it comes to taking
care of the football or taking the
football away, the opportunities
involving the football, we need to
be at the top of our game.”
Lacy fumbled against San
Diego on Oct. 18, at Denver on
Nov. 1 and at Carolina on Nov. 8.
He missed the first Packers-Lions game on Nov. 15 with a groin
injury before returning to action
at Minnesota, where he did not
fumble.
As a team, the Packers have
fumbled 13 times this season,
losing four. During the McCarthy
era, the Packers rank No. 2 in the
NFL in turnover margin at plus93.
“There’s only so many things
you can emphasize (in practice) that you want your team to
reflect each and every time you
line up,” McCarthy said. “(At)
practice each and every day, we
spend a lot of time on taking
the ball away, takeaway drills,
catching the football, handling
the football, how we carry the
football, ball-security drills — so
I think it definitely reflects in our
turnover ratio in my time here. ...
So we need to do a better job taking care of the football.”
And that starts with Lacy.
“Ball security, it’s always a
premium,” Lacy said. “Whenever
you’re going to make a play or
you try to make a move, you try
to put two hands on it. It’s something that you have be conscious
and aware of.”

Watson leads Leathernecks
Western Illinois lands

Western Illinois University
running back Nikko Watson was
a first-team All-Missouri Valley
Football Conference selection
on Monday, one of seven Leathernecks honored.
Sophomore offensive lineman
Jacob Judd, sophomore linebacker Brett Taylor and junior
wide receiver Lance Lenoir Jr.,
were second-team selections.
Lenoir was an honorable mention selection as a return specialist, and was joined on that list by
senior defensive linemen Kris
Harley and Eddy Holtschlag and
quarterback Trenton Norvell.
Western Illinois coach Bob
Nielson was named the league’s
coach of the year last week.
Watson ranks sixth in Football Championship Subdivision
play with 115.5 rushing yards per
Cyclones

very stressful for many directors
of athletics. It’s going to be really
fun to sit back and watch and
enjoy that because we found our
man,” Pollard said
One positive for Campbell is
that despite winning just three
games, Iowa State showed at
times that it could compete with
anyone.
The Cyclones were tied with
No. 4 Iowa late in the fourth
quarter before losing 31-17. They
also held a second-half lead
against Oklahoma State and
would’ve beaten Campbell’s
Rockets had they hit a relatively
easy field goal at the end of regulation. Iowa State was also just
91 seconds away from winning at
game. He is 10th in the nation
with 14 touchdowns.
Watson opened the season
with four consecutive 100-yard
games and six touchdowns, then
over the final three games had
more than 150 rushing yards in
each game.
Taylor was third in the balloting for defensive player of the
year. He will become the first
sophomore to lead the team in
tackles in seven years, currently
with 130. His average of six solo
tackles and 10.8 total tackles per
game ranks 15th in the country.
Lenoir’s 6.3 receptions per
game leads the Valley and ranks
24th in FCS play. He enters this
week eighth in the nation with
1,083 receiving yards as he
became the only Leatherneck to
record two 1,000-yard seasons.
Judd started every game this
season at center, and was twice
named the Valley’s offensive lineman of the week.
Harley started every game in
his two-year career at defensive
tackle.
Holtschlag started all 12
games played this season and
tied for the most tackles among
the defensive linemen with 43.
He recorded six tackles for loss
and 2.5 sacks.
Norvell started every game
in his three-year career until he
was sidelined earlier this month
with appendicitis surgery. Norvell averaged 234 passing yards
and threw for 13 touchdowns
in nine games. He had three
games of 300-plus passing yards,
including a career-high 370 yards
with two TDs at then top-ranked
Coastal Carolina.
Northern Iowa had five firstteam selections — offensive
lineman Jacob Rathmacher,
defensive lineman Karter Schult,
linebacker Brett McMakin and
defensive backs Deiondré Hall
and Tim Kilfoy. Quarterback
Aaron Bailey, named the conference’s newcomer of the year last

Kansas State.
Campbell was brought to
Ames largely because the
Cyclones couldn’t finish any of
those games. He will inherit a
roster that should be a lot more
talented than it’s been in years
past.
“The core belief of my philosophy goes like this, it’s really simple: Players, formations, plays,”
Campbell said. “I’m not silly. It’s
about players.”
Campbell knows he’s walking
into a historically tough situation. After all, the Cyclones have
never won a title in the Big 6, Big
8 or Big 12.
But right now, Campbell sees
it as a dream job.
On Monday, he recalled a
phone call he made to his wife,
Erica, after visiting Iowa State
in 2014 with Toledo, which lost
to the Cyclones 37-30. Campbell
said he was so blown away by
the energy of the fans and the
game-day atmosphere and that
he allowed himself to imagine
coaching at Iowa State.
That opportunity came just 14
months later.

Rhiannon Leonard interviews her boss, Gary Himes, Friday in Weverton, Md., for StoryCorps’ Great Thanksgiving Listen oral history
project. High school students throughout the United States were asked to interview an elder and send the audio recording to a
publicly accessible Library of Congress archive.
Students took time out of holiday weekend to talk

School in Providence, R.I., also
listened to her grandmother
Camille Gange’s fond memories
of growing up surrounded by
her extended family in an eightunit tenement in 1940s Brooklyn.
They had no car or air conditioning but lots of love, Camille
Gange said.
“I had all these aunts, uncles,
grandparents doting over me
constantly, and I felt like I was
the queen of the May,” she told
her granddaughter.
Claude Gange, a 78-year-old
retired school administrator, said
the interview with Lauren was a
delightful highlight of his year.
“I think that interview really
helped in opening up her to us. I
think we may be more likely now
to have conversations. We benefited from it tremendously,” he
said.

The Great Thanksgiving Listen is over. Now anyone can listen in.
The nonprofit oral history project StoryCorps said its unprecedented national effort to collect
thousands of one-on-one, intergenerational interviews during
the Thanksgiving weekend was a
success.
Schoolchildren using a StoryCorps smartphone app had
uploaded 37,000 recordings to
a publicly accessible, Library of
Congress archive since Nov. 23.
The stories can be heard at storycorp.me.
StoryCorps President Dave
Isay said the project may reach not
his goal of doubling, in one weekend, the 65,000 audio recordings
StoryCorps has collected since
2003. But he said he’s pleased with
the results, nevertheless.
Students and their interview
subjects talked with the Associated
Press before and after Thanksgiving about their StoryCorps interviews. Here are their stories:
How in touch with God are you?
Sal Monteiro, an ex-con who
was part of a deadly carjacking
in 1992, made a big impression
on Karl Lauture three years ago
when he visited Karl’s class at
Moses Brown, a Quaker school
in Providence, R.I.
When Karl’s eighth-grade
teacher assigned a StoryCorps
interview this fall, Karl decided to
talk to Monteiro, now a training
coordinator at the Institute for the
Study and Practice of Nonviolence.
In their interview, Monteiro
expressed regret about dropping
out of high school and being with
Vanyce Grant poses with her grandfather, Bernie Stuart, Nov.
19 at her home in Bolingbrook, Ill. Grant interviewed Stuart for
StoryCorps’ Great Thanksgiving Listen oral history project.
a friend who fatally shot a man
during the carjacking. The pair
went to prison.
“I regret not having enough
courage to tell my friend to stop
what he was doing,” Monteiro said
during the 30-minute interview.
Karl said their conversation
gave him new perspectives on
family and religion. Monteiro
talked about the preciousness of
family reunions, something Karl
hadn’t considered.
“I get to see some family members about, like, every other year,
and I don’t really take in those
moments,” Karl said. “I think next
time I get to see them, I’ll really
value it.”
Monteiro, 43, also told Karl he
doesn’t believe he needs God or
organized religion.
“If anything, my religion would
be nonviolence,” he said.
Chopping cotton, busing tables
part of past struggles
Long before Bennie Stuart
led a small church in Chicago,
he chopped cotton for $3 a day,
cleared restaurant tables for $45
a week and did social work. But
his most interesting job may have
been his work as a boy in Arkansas. Stuart was paid in eggs.
He cleaned up yards for the
elderly and would be allowed to
take eggs from the coop. But that
was no easy task, either, since
snakes and the occasional fox
were his competition. He later
sold the eggs at a local store.
“I needed the money,” the
78-year-old minister said with a
laugh during an interview in suburban Bolingbrook, roughly 30
miles from Chicago.
Stuart told his granddaughter,
Vanyce Grant, about his struggles
in hopes of further convincing
her to get a good education.
“She has been blessed with great
opportunities that I didn’t hardly
even dream of having,” he said.
Grant, who aspires to be an
architect, said she chose to interview her grandfather for the StoryCorps project because he always
has something interesting to say.
“It was just surprising all the
things I didn’t know,” said Grant,
15.
A deeper relationship with
granddaughter
Lauren Bonner’s StoryCorps
conversation with her grandparents deepened their understanding of each other. She learned
about the last time her grandfather, Claude Gange, saw his
mother alive in Brooklyn, N.Y.,
two days before she was struck
and killed by a car.

My religion is nonviolence
Sophia Tareen/Associated Press
Rhiannon Leonard was curious about her boss Gary Himes’
religious beliefs. She knew he
was active in the civic service
club Ruritan, and his chapter
held an annual pancake breakfast at her church, the Brownsville Church of the Brethren in
rural Maryland.
“I always knew that he
believed in God, but I wasn’t sure
how in touch with God he is,”
Rhiannon, 17, said. “I’ve never
really figured out his denomination.”
Himes, 69, paused before
answering the question Friday
in his kitchen. The kitchen is
attached to the general store his
family has run for more than a
century. He said he was raised in
the same church as Rhiannon but
now follows his personal, nondenominational convictions.
“I believe in God,” Himes said.
“I think he’s got a hand on this
Earth. I don’t think he controls
the Earth. If you follow Christian
teachings, you’ll be a good person.”
Himes said he enjoyed the
fellowship of the church as boy,
even though his parents didn’t
attend.
“Of course, everything wasn’t
right in the church but you had to
be smart enough to pick out the
good from the bad,” he said.

JFK assassination delayed arrival
of tap water
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy delayed the
arrival of tap water at Mae Ridge’s
home in the rural western Maryland community of Leitersburg.
In her StoryCorps interview
Friday with great-granddaughter Gabriella Rinehart, Ridge, 88,
said she was six months pregnant with her fifth child, cleaning
house and waiting for workers to
finish her cistern when she heard
a news report the president had
been shot Nov. 22, 1963.
“I went out, and I told the men
that were working there what
happened, and they just stopped.
They couldn’t believe it. I don’t
think they worked after that that
day,” Ridge said.
The cistern eventually was
finished, and Ridge’s husband,
Albert, stopped making regular
trips to nearby Waynesboro, Pa.,
to fill a milk can with clean water.
Gabrielle, 17, was surprised by
her great-grandmother’s undramatic recollections of historic
events.
“I felt like she would have a
stronger opinion, like, ‘Oh, I was
very upset’ or something,” she
said. “But she just accepted it
like, ‘This is what’s happening.
This is the time that we’re in.’”
PIERRE, S.D. — South Dakota
regulators approved a construction permit Monday for a pipeline
that will cross through the state
as it carries North Dakota oil to
Illinois.
The South Dakota Public
Utilities Commission voted 2-1
to approve the permit for the
Dakota Access Pipeline, and
construction on the roughly 270mile leg could begin early next
year.
The 1,130-mile pipeline, proposed by Dallas-based Energy
Transfer Partners, would move
at least 450,000 barrels of crude
daily from the Bakken oil
patch in western North Dakota
through South Dakota and Iowa
to an existing pipeline in Patoka,
Ill., where shippers can access
Midwest and Gulf Coast markets.
While hailed as a safe and
cost-effective way to transport
crude oil, opponents worry the
pipeline could lead to environmental contamination.
The $3.8 billion project needs
approval in all four states, but
South Dakota is the first, the
company said.
“This is an important infrastructure project that will provide a more direct, cost-effective, safer and environmentally
responsible manner to transport
this crude oil,” spokeswoman
Vicki Granado said in a statement. “We look forward to being
a part of South Dakota’s business
and civic communities.”
Public Utilities Commission
Chairman Chris Nelson said the
firm demonstrated it has the
legal right to have the permit
issued.
Commissioner Gary Hanson,
who voted against the permit,
said he’s concerned the pipeline
is routed too close to fast-growing areas in the southeastern
corner of South Dakota.
Hanson said he ultimately
doesn’t want to keep the project
from being built but said he just
wants it “done right.”
“The relative cost of rerouting
this pipeline farther away from
this growth area is pennies to
the dollar for a multibillion-dollar pipeline,” Hanson said.
Supporters of the project cite
a need for energy security, point
to the jobs it would create and
maintain transporting oil by
pipeline is safer than moving it
by rail or truck.
Opponents worry the pipeline
could contaminate water supplies, farmland and archaeological sites and harm habitat for
wildlife, including endangered
species.
Tony Helland, a member of
conservation and family agriculture group Dakota Rural
Action, said in a statement the
regulatory atmosphere in South
Dakota favors incoming corporations and projects over the
rights of state landowners.
The group said its unclear if
there will be an appeal of the
commission’s decision.
The panel granted the permit with conditions. In addition
to complying with state and
local laws, Dakota Access — a
company formed for the project — will give the commission
quarterly reports, hire a liaison
officer approved by the commission to deal with landowner
disputes and log landowner concerns.
An independent third party,
which must be approved by the
commission, also is required to
monitor compliance with the
permit.

Muslim students seek
permanent prayer
space at Iowa colleges
Associated Press
IOWA CITY — Muslim students at Iowa’s three public universities are seeking permanent
spaces for daily and weekly religious observances.
Motier
Haskins,
faculty
adviser to the University of Iowa’s
Muslim Student Association, said
he’s scheduled to meet this week
with the school’s vice president
for student life to again discuss a
permanent space.
University officials said they
work to accommodate space
requests from spiritual and faithbased student groups. Once a
group is recognized by the university’s Student Organizations
Review Committee, it can reserve
facilities at minimal or no cost.
Mohamed Othman, a University of Iowa sophomore, said
sometimes students barely make it
to prayers because rooms change.
Muslim Student Association
leaders at Iowa State University said they have access to the
school’s chapel, but it’s too far
from classes to allow frequent
use. Eshraq Alkhabbaz, an international student recruiter, is
working with the Muslim Student
Association to find a space for
University of Northern Iowa students.
Students said having a space
would give non-Muslims a place
to learn more about the religion.
Othman said: “If someone
wants to know something about
Islam, especially with all the controversy going around the world
right now, it would be nice to have
an address (on campus) where
people could come to ask, ‘What
do you guys think about this?
What do you guys think about
that?’ ”
The national Muslim Student
Association, which has been
working for years with campus
organizations to seek various
accommodations at public universities throughout the nation.
The association usually advises
students to ask for a neutral
prayer area available to all religious groups on campus, if such a
space does not already exist.
“In any public institution, it’s
very important for them to consider not only the needs or the
wants of one religious group, but
to represent all students and all
different religions,” said Uzair
Siddiqui, project manager for the
national group.
Two northwest Iowa towns
consider natural gas utilities
Associated Press
LARCHWOOD — Two small
northwest Iowa towns are
considering bringing natural
gas to their communities after
voters supported exploring the
idea.
Voters in the cities of Larchwood and Lester approved referendums Nov. 3 allowing each city
to establish municipal gas utilities. Larchwood has about 400
water customers, and Lester has
110 water customers.
Larchwood Mayor Dean Snyders said the decision to pursue
city-run natural gas utilities partially was a result of high propane
prices.
“The discussion started for
the two communities about two
years ago when propane prices
had spiked during the winter,”
Snyders said.
Lester Mayor Dan Gerber said
a natural gas line could spur more
economic development.
“A lot of manufacturing (industries) and businesses. That’s a big
plus to have natural gas,” Gerber
said.
Snyders said a feasibility study,
which began in March, will determine a potential natural gas supplier, the rate charged, and the
cost of installing a gas main.
The gas main likely will be a
joint venture between the two
cities. According to Gerber, the
main would stretch 12 to 15 miles
to serve the communities.
The Iowa Utilities Board said it
does not keep track of the number
of cities without natural gas service.
Board spokesman Donald
Tormey said in an email, “If a community does not have natural gas
service at this time, that may indicate that the pipeline company (or
companies, depending upon location) have concluded that it is not
economical to provide that service, typically because the community is too far from the pipeline
given the likely sales volumes.”
U. Iowa leader denounces racist
vandalism in campus building
Associated Press
IOWA CITY — The University
of Iowa’s new president is condemning a racist remark carved
into a bathroom door inside a
campus building.
Bruce Harreld said Monday
evening the school was trying
to determine who left the message in Spence Laboratories, the
building housing the university’s
department of psychological and
brain sciences.
Harreld said the act “is offen-
sive to our community and will
not be tolerated,” adding the door
was sanded down to remove the
comment.
Interim UI public safety director David Visin said the remark
was “a racial slur” that didn’t
include any additional threatening language. He said he’s not
releasing specifics in order to
protect the integrity of an ongoing criminal investigation.
Visin said he is asking the public for help solving the crime.

Med schools add data mining to curriculum
Health science and numbers
come together to gain new
perspective in medicine.
By JULIE ROYNER
Kaiser Health News
Medicine, meet big data.
For generations, physicians have been
trained in basic science and human anatomy to diagnose and treat the individual
patient.
But now, massive stores of data about
what works for which patients literally
are changing the way medicine is practiced.
“That’s how we make decisions. We
make them based on the truth and the
evidence that are present in those data,”
said Marc Triola, an associate dean at
New York University School of Medicine.
Figuring out how to get and interpret
all that data is not a skill most physicians
learn in medical school. In fact, it’s not
even been taught in medical school, but
that’s changing.
“If you don’t have these skills, you
could really be at a disadvantage,” Triola
said, “in terms of the way you understand
the quality and the efficiency of the care
you’re delivering.”
That’s why first- and second-year students at NYU Medical School now must
do what’s called a “health care by the
numbers” project.
Students are given access to a database with more than 5 million anonymous records — information on every
hospital patient in New York for the past
two years. It includes ages, ethnicity, zip
codes as well as diagnosis, procedures
and bills paid, Triola said.
The project, funded in part by an effort
of the American Medical Association to
update what and how medical students
are taught, also includes a companion
database for roughly 50,000 outpatients.
It’s called the Lacidem Care Group. (Lacidem? That’s “medical,” backwards).
It contains data from NYU’s faculty
practices — scrubbed to ensure neither
patients nor doctors can be identified.
Students can use the tools to “look at
quality measures for things like heart failure, diabetes, smoking, and high blood
pressure,” Triola said. “And drill down
and look at the performance of the practice as a whole and individual doctors.”
Some students have taken to the
assignment with relish. Second-year
student Micah Timen is one. Timen
likes numbers. A lot. An accountant
before applying to med school, he keeps
a spreadsheet to track his study hours
before a test. An upcoming test is on the
Cindy Carpien/Kaiser Health News
NYU medical students participate in a histology/pathology lab class. Besides traditional medical teachings, first- and second year students are now required to
learn and apply big data.
Students can use tools provided by the project
to “look at quality measures for things like heart failure,
diabetes, smoking, and high blood pressure. And drill
down and look at the performance of the practice as a
whole and individual doctors.”

Big Mac index didn’t work
“So I know I have 18 hours and 40 minutes left to make sure I feel comfortable
walking into my exam,” he said.
For his project, Timen wanted to know
if the cost to patients of hip replacement
surgery vary as much as the cost of a fastfood hamburger. Timen said students
tried comparing hip replacement costs
using the Economist magazine’s famous
Big Mac Index, which measures purchasing power between currencies.

Feit and Lynch examined the rates of

Researchers hone in on human frailty
Researchers reduce
inflammation in human
cells, a major cause of
frailty.
Mayo Clinic News
ROCHESTER, Minn. —
Chronic inflammation, closely
associated with frailty and
age-related diseases, is a hallmark of aging.
Mayo Clinic researchers
have discovered inhibiting
key enzyme pathways reduces
inflammation in human cells in
culture dishes and decreases
inflammation and frailty in aged
mice.
The results appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United
States of America. While further
studies are needed, researchers are hopeful the findings will
be a step toward treatments for
frailty and other age-related
chronic conditions.
In the study, researchers
found Janus kinase inhibitors,
drugs that work to block activity of JAK enzymes, decreased
the factors released by human
senescent cells in culture dishes.
Changes in ‘Wild West’ of medical testing stymied
Advocates encounter
persistent regulatory
inaction — sometimes
by law.
By ELLEN GABLER
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
ATLANTA — A federal advisory committee at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention has taken another
pass after discussing concerns
about a growing category of
medical tests described by one
member as the “Wild West” of
lab testing.
Federal regulators said they
don’t have the authority or
resources to address the tests
that have long-standing quality issues, yet increasingly are
used in doctor’s offices, emergency rooms and retail clinics
across the country.
Health care decisions frequently are based on medical
tests that essentially are waived
from oversight and regulation.
Thousands of the “waived tests”
have been developed to quickly
and inexpensively detect conditions including influenza, Hepa-

titis C, HIV and Lyme disease,
among others.
The tests are supposed to
be foolproof — no training or
qualifications are required for
those who do them — but the
tests often are done incorrectly,
which can lead to wrong results
and serious harm to patients,
a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
investigation found.
Waived testing “does fall
through the cracks. I think we
all agree,” Karen Dyer, director
of the division of laboratory
services for the U.S. Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid
Services, which oversees clinical laboratory testing, said at a
meeting last month.
A director with the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration,
Alberto Gutierrez, acknowledged a “weakness in the system” that prevents regulators
from being able to track how
many patients are harmed.
Some members of the advisory committee — which is
comprised of 20 doctors, lab
professionals, scientists and
public health regulators from
around the country — also
expressed frustration at their
collective inability to make
well-thought-out recommendations on any issue, including
the ever-expanding sector of
waived tests.
The percentage of facilities
dedicated to waived tests has
gone from 20 percent in 1992
to more than 70 percent of the
country’s 250,000 labs. A twoyear license costs $150.
By law, facilities that do
the tests cannot be inspected
routinely by government regulators. Up to 2 percent can be
scheduled for “educational visits” each year.
“That’s basically all we can
do,” Dyer told the advisory
group. “We would really like to
look at doing more. We are limited by law.”
The advisory group — which
meets twice a year and is supposed to provide guidance on
clinical laboratory issues to
the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services — has discussed waived testing during at
least 30 of its past 50 meetings.
“When the topic keeps coming up, you feel like you aren’t
doing the job,” said Qian-Yun
Zhang, a member of the advisory group and laboratory medical director at the University of
New Mexico’s University Hospital. “I don’t think we have a
solution.”
Zhang was concerned at the
dismal performance of labs
doing waived tests. Dyer’s presentation showed 52 percent of
labs in a government spot check
last year were not in compliance with policies meant to
ensure safe, quality care.
Dyer said the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid will
send educational and training material to all labs that
apply for the $150 license to do
waived tests.
An investigation found only a
few thousand of those 180,000
labs received the materials.
Even when more do, it’s unclear
if that will address the problem.
“Education just gives you
the potential for doing the right
thing. It doesn’t monitor actual
practice,” said Barbara Zehnbauer, director of the CDC’s
division of laboratory systems,
which is also involved with the
advisory group.
The only requirement for
doing waived tests is to follow
the manufacturer’s instructions. But studies have shown
that often doesn’t happen.
The Journal Sentinel found
health regulators, trade organizations and manufacturers have
talked for years about needing
more comprehensive studies to
quantify problems with waived
tests. The groups say they
can’t take significant action to
address problems until more
data is gathered. Yet there are
no plans to gather the data.
Gutierrez, the director of the
FDA’s center for devices and
radiological health, said during
the meeting the only data gathered is “passively” collected
by the FDA, which accepts
complaints and problems from
manufacturers and health care
professionals, many of whom
would not think to report problems.
“We don’t get a lot of information,” he said.
Regulators from the CDC
who helped coordinate the
meeting said they would try to
address the problems.

the course of two months, the
researchers found substantial

FUN & ADVICE
HIV is treatable,
but only if you
know you’re positive
DEAR ABBY: Today, Dear Abby
Dec. 1, is World AIDS Day.
With effective treatment,
people with HIV can live as
long as those without HIV.
Fear, shame and ignorance
remain barriers to testing
and treatment, which can be
more deadly than HIV itself.
People with HIV who
are in treatment need
never develop advanced
HIV (formerly full-blown
AIDS). Please encourage By JEANNE PHILLIPS
Universal Press
your readers, regardless of
Syndicate
age, gender or sexual orientation, to get tested, and
if positive, to get treatment. HIV can affect anyone.
— MARY IN FREDERICK, MD.
DEAR MARY: I’m glad you wrote. Knowing
one’s HIV status is extremely important because,
unlike in years past, the disease can be controlled.
But in order to do that and not spread it to others,
it is essential sexually active individuals get tested.
Readers, you can be a healthy HIV-positive person
and control it if you know you have it and get treatment. Ask your doctor about being tested, if you
have one. If you don’t have a doctor, contact your
county health department about how to find testing
and treatment in your community, or visit www.freehivtest.net for information about free tests in many
areas throughout the nation and abroad.
DEAR ABBY: I am retired, divorced and never
had children. My two sisters have four adult children between them. Their children are all married
and have children themselves.
Every Christmas, there is a gift exchange, which
I don’t attend because I stay in Florida during the
winter. At this stage in my life, I dread the holiday
because it is expected I spend a minimum of $50 per
person for two dozen people.
I own some properties I am desperately trying to
prepare for the market. At my age, I no longer need or
want anything. It has reached a point where the “preferred” gift is money, which isn’t the idea behind the
Christmas holiday. How can I politely stop this habit?

singer Pink
to help kids
Non Sequitur
DEAR MRS. SCROOGE: You politely stop the
habit by telling your sisters in advance you are trying to prepare your properties for sale, and money is
limited. Therefore, you will buy Christmas gifts only
for your younger grandnieces and grandnephews
from now on (if you choose). Be sure to send the
adults lovely holiday cards, however, so they know
they are remembered.
DEAR ABBY: Besides the usual snoring most
wives tolerate, I have had to endure something
worse. At least once a week for the last few years,
my husband will make a fist while asleep and swing
it across the bed, striking me. The last time, it caused
a tooth to chip, and frankly, it scares me to death.
He is by no means violent when awake. Other
than sleeping on the couch, what can I do?
— BLACK AND BLUE IN NEW JERSEY

Blondie
The Family Circus
Trailblazing pop star Pink saw
firsthand severely malnourished
children during a recent visit to
Haiti as a part
of a UNICEF
program
to
provide therapeutic food
packets to children in need.
The singer,
whose given
name is Alecia Moore, Pink
was
named
a
UNICEF
ambassador Monday to help promote a new effort to encourage
physical activity in young children
in the United States and at the
same time raise money for nutritional, vitamin-rich peanut paste
to be delivered to malnourished
children throughout the world.
“I got to watch mommas learning how to feed it to their kids,”
Moore said during a phone interview from California. “And within
a week, you can see the difference in these children. It brings
them back to life. It’s amazing.”
Moore is the national spokeswoman for the UNICEF Kid
Power Band, which is a childfriendly fitness band that encourages exercise through an interactive app. Children can earn
points by doing things like taking
12,000 steps a day or completing a
goal. As the children earn points,
UNICEF’s partners, including
Target, Disney and Star Wars:
Force for Change, will provide
the funds needed to send the food
packets to places like Haiti.
Moore, who has a 4-year-old
daughter with her husband,
Carey Hart, said the trip to
Haiti strengthened her passion
for UNICEF’s project. She visited Port-au-Prince this summer,
where she saw children who came
back from the brink of starvation
because of these food packets.
“When you get to see it with
your own eyes and you see that
something works, then it’s a lot
easier to get behind and advocate
for it and try to make other people
aware of it,” she said.
The Kid Power app also
teaches children about the countries and cultures they are helping, and they can unlock special
videos and messages and track
their progress online.
“They found a brilliant way,
and a fun way, to get kids here
involved and empowered and
motivated,” Moore said. “And
they are also turning them into
global citizens, and they get to be
hands-on.”

Trying times

“Think you’ll ever marry
again?” I asked Cy the Cynic.
“No way,” he grunted.
“You might change your mind,”
I prodded. “If you’re ever thinking
about it, maybe you could consider a trial marriage.”
“What marriage isn’t a trial?”
Cy snorted.
Cy was today’s West, and his
partnership with East was sorely
tried. Against four hearts, Cy led
the jack of spades, and East took
the king and ace. When declarer
played the five and eight, East led
a third spade to let Cy ruff in front
of dummy.
Alas, the Cynic couldn’t produce a trump higher than dummy’s seven, so South made an
overtrick, drawing trumps and
running the diamonds to discard
his clubs.
“Great defense,” Cy growled.
East loses nothing by consulting his partner. At Trick Three,
East must cash the ace of clubs.
If Cy had a high trump, he would
signal with a discouraging club,
and East would lead a third
spade. On the actual deal, Cy
will encourage in clubs, and East
trustingly will lead a second club.
