Nancy Villagomez shops for items during Black FridayShopping at a Target.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — The annual ritual of Black Friday, as we know it, is ov er.

Gone are the throngs of frenzied

shoppers camping out for days aheadof the big sales bonanza on the dayafter Thanksgiving. And forget thefisticuffs over flat-screen TVs.

Instead, stores around the countryhad sparse parking lots, calm, orderlylines and modest t raffic. Black Friday,

which traditionally isthe biggest shoppingday of the year,almost looked like anormal shopping day.And not every shop-per was happy about

that.In Denver, for instance, Susan

Monto ya had nearly an entire Kmart toherself Friday morning. Mon toya half-heartedly flipped through a rack of girls’ holi day party dresses and lookeddown the store’s empty aisles.

“There’s no one out here!” she said.“This is sad.”

Black Friday for decades was a rite of passage for U.S. shoppers. Manywould spend Thanksgiving eveningcombing through circulars to plottheir shopping route for the next day

based on the deals they hoped to snag.But in recent y ears, retailers have triedto capt ure hol iday sales earlier and ear-lier.

LOS ANGELES — A cold air mass overCalifornia prompted widespread freeze warn-ings and watches Friday, raising concerns forcrops in the agricultural San Joaquin Valley

and for homeless people in urban centers,even as skiers and snowboarders took advan-tage of snowy slopes.

Overnight temperatures did not dip quite aslow as forecast, said National Weather Servicemeteorologist David Spector, though much of the so uthern San Joaquin Valley was justbelow freezing during Friday’s early ho urs.

Citrus crops l ikely escaped damage — tem-peratures did not stay at or below 28 degreesfor more than two hours, which is when prob-lems can occur, Spector said. Still, theCalifornia Citrus Mutual trade association’sweather service recommended using orchardfans to push the temperature up a few degrees.

The Weather Service issued another freeze

warning for Friday night in th e region, whichwould make it the third overnight in a row.

Cold weather shel ters for the homeless werebeing opened throughout California.

South of San Francisco Bay, Santa ClaraCounty opened its shelt ers a week early, offer-ing beds for up to 180 people at a shelter inGilroy and an extra 70 at a facility in SanJose.

“The cold weather came on unexpectedly,”said Claire Wagner, director of communica-tions for HomeFirst, the largest provider of homeless services for Santa Clara County. “Ithink what people in California forget, inparticular in t he Bay Area where the weather i sso temperate, is people do die of exposure.”

At the Oakland’s Covenant HouseCalifornia, Bay Area Development OfficerColleen Miller said the service agency for at-risk youth livi ng on the streets just received50 sleeping bag coats and demand for themwould likely be hi gh.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A gun-man who opened fire inside a Colorado

Springs Planned Parenthood clinic wasarrested Friday after engaging in g un battleswith authorities during an hours-long s tand-off that killed three people and woundednine oth ers, officials said.

Two people and a police officer with theUniversity of Colo rado in Colo rado Springswere kill ed in the rampage, law enforcementofficials said.

The university police department identi-fied the officer killed as 44-year-old GarrettSwasey, a s ix-year veteran of th e force.

Nine other people, including five policeofficers, were shot and are in good condi-tion, police said.

The gunman is in custody. His name wasnot immediately released.

Authorit ies sai d they hav en’t determined amotive or whether the shooter had any con-

nection to Planned Parenthood.“We don’t have any information on this

individual’s mentality, o r his ideas or ideol-ogy,” Buckley said.

Planned Parenthood released a statementthat said it did not know the full circum-stances or motives behind the attack, orwhether the organization was the target.

A number of people were evacuated duringthe stan doff — some wrapped in blank ets inthe bl owing s now — to a n earby VeteransAdministration clinic.

For several hours, the firing o f a long gun

was th e only indication police had that the

shooter was in the building, Lt. CatherineBuckley said. Officers finally made voicecontact by shouting to him and convincedhim to surrender, she s aid.

Video from The Denver Post showed a tallman in a white T-shirt being led away bypolice as snow fell on the frigid evening.

With the immediate threat over, authori-ties turned their attention to inspectingunspecified items the gunman left outsidethe building and carried insi de in bags.

Three officers were shot whil e respon ding just before noo n to the ini tial report of

shots fired. More than two hours later, the

gunman shot anot her officer in an exchang ewith police inside the clinic, Buckley said.

The suspect surrendered about five hoursafter entering the building.

The shots sent people inside the clinicracing for cover. Jennifer Motolinia hidbehind a table inside the clinic and calledher brother, Joan, who said he heard multi-ple gunshots in the background.

“She was telling me to take care of herbabies because she could get killed,” JoanMotolinia said of his sist er, the mother of three.

Local free community collegeplans may be template for U.S.

CHICAGO — The concept of free commu-nity college has been touted by PresidentBarack Obama, Democratic presidentialcandidates, and some Republicans.

The idea is to curb student debt and boos temployment by removing cost from theequation. However, some educators are con-

cerned the push could divert students andscholarships away from four-year schoolsand still create student debt.

And some of the pro posals could cost tax -payers tens of billions of dollars.

Thousands of high school graduates have just st arted community coll ege for free, withthe first batch enrolled in independent first-year programs in Tennessee, Chicago andsoon Oregon doing so under different pricetags and philosop hies.

That offers templates of what a federalprogram might look like and where theglitches could be. Other states are watchingand considering their own programs.

Reporter mocked by Trumpsays the two knew each other well

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump said he couldn’t havebeen making fun of a reporter’s disability because he does-

n’t know the man. Not so, says thereporter.

Serge Kovaleski of The New YorkTimes s ays h e has met Trump repeatedly,interviewing him in his office and talk-

ing t o him at news conferences, when heworked for the New York Daily News inthe late 1980s. “Donald and I were on afirst-name basis for years,” he said in aTimes story about the Republican presi-dential candidate’s behavior at a rally in

South Carolina last week.Onstage Tuesday, a mocking Trump flailed his arms in an

apparent attempt to i mitate mannerisms of th e “poor guy.”He accused Kovaleski of backing off a story from a weekafter the 9/11 attacks that said authorities in New Jerseydetained and questioned “a number of people who wereallegedly seen celebrating the attacks.” Kovaleski thenworked for The Washin gto n Pos t.

Trump cites the story as proof of his claim that “thou-sands” of Muslims in New Jersey celebrated the devasta-tion across the river. But the story did not suggest “thou-sands” were observed celebrating or that the reports of such a scene were true. Other accounts from t hat t ime con-cluded the allegations were unfounded.

Presidential contenders differ sharply on climate,WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential candidate

Bernie Sanders calls climate change the greatest threat tonational security. Front-runner Hillary Rodham Clintonpromises to install more than 500 million solar panelsacross the country.

On the Republican side, Jeb Bush would phase out taxcredits for s olar power. Rival Marco Rubio wants to cut thefederal gas tax by 80 percent.

There are stark differences between the two parties onenergy and environment issues that underscore the sky-high stakes for both si des of the debate in the 2016 presi-dential race.

After President Barack Obama’s t wo terms, b usiness andenvironmental groups see a game-changing election.Many environmental groups and Democrats fear a poten-tial rollback o f the Obama administration’s poli cies on cli-

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. —Ayauna King-Baker loved Ben

Carson’s “Gifted Hands” memoir somuch that she made her daughterShaliya read it. So when Carsonshowed up in town to sign copies of his new book, King-Baker draggedthe giggly 13-year-old along to thebookstore so they could both meethim.

To King-Baker, Carson’s “up-by-your bootstraps” life story makes hima genuine celebrity worth emulatingin the African-American community.But she’s also a Pompano BeachDemocrat watching Carson rise in theRepublican presidential poll s.

For King-Baker and many otherAfrican-Americans, the vast majorityof whom are Democrats, t here are twoCarsons: One is a genius doctor and

inspirational speaker and writer whotalks of limitless horizons; the otheris a White House candidate who push-es conservative polit ics and wishes to“de-emphasi ze race.”

How they reconcile the two mayhelp determine whether Republicanscan dent the solid support Democratshave enjoyed in t he black communityfor decades.

President Barack Obama won 95percent of the black vote in 20 08 and93 percent in 2012. Carson wasn’timmune to the excitement of seeingthe U.S. elect its first black president.

“I don’t think there were any blackpeople in the country that weren’tthrilled that that h appened — includ-ing me,” Carson told the Associated

Press in a recent interview when askedabout Obama’s first victory.“Everyone had hope this would besomething different. It was nice hav-ing that hope for a little while.”

Carson has si nce become an aggres-sive critic of Obama’s. Carson rose toprominence in the tea party move-ment after repudiating the president’s

health care law in front of Obama dur-ing the 2013 National Prayer

Breakfast. Today, Carson charges thatObama’s performance has actually setblack candidates back.

“I don’t think he’s made my pathany easier,” he said. “So many peopl esaid there’d never be another blackpresident for 100 years after this. ”

Carson has not gone out of his wayto court black voters this year. Heinsists he won’t change his messageto attract specific audiences, althoughhis campaign tried a rap-filled ad thismonth.

He already has one con vert — King-Baker. She says she plans to changeher registration to vo te for the doctorin the Florida primary. “He has themomentum, he has the conversation,he’s very serious, he’s speaking to

the people, and I just think he wouldbe a very go od president,” sh e said.

None of this will matter unlessCarson survives th e primaries, wherehe’s been leading in early preferencepolls.

Black votes aren’t a major factor inGOP primaries. Only about 16 percentof African-American voters affiliated

November general election.African-American voters are one of

the few growing segments of the vo t-ing public. The percentage of blackvoters eclipsed the percentage of whites for the first time in 2012,when 66 percent of blacks voted,compared with 64 percent of non-Hispanics whites and about 48 per-cent of Hispanics and Asians.

Carole Bell, a professor of commu-nication studies at NortheasternUniversity, estimates that Carsoncould attract as much as 25 percent of the African-American vote if he’s theGOP candidate. “That would be atremendous accomplishment for theGOP at this stage,” s he said.

Carson is better known by African-

American voters than were otherblack Republicans who ran for presi-dent, such as businessman HermanCain, who achieved passing promi-nence in the 2012 race, and formerambassador Alan Keyes before him.

Carson was a celebrated figurebefore he entered politics because of his work as a neurosurgeon.

“It’s not the kind of scene as in the shop-ping center with sales all over the place andpeople bumping into each other,” Delucchisaid. “The process of meeting the cat thatcan be the pet of your dreams is differentthan going through pil es and racks of cloth-ing.”

On Friday, dozens of people visited thePHS’ Center for Compassion and at leastfive families took h ome black cats as part of the nonprofit’s promotion; including 16-

year-old Avery Northrop who took home amostly black kitten.

The event was created to help find foreverhomes for black cats, which for several rea-sons are typically harder to adopt out. Onereason could be because some people stillcarry lingering superstitions that black catsmay be bad luck. Black cats don’t typicallystand out as much and it can be harder for aphotographer to capture their personality,so they may be overlooked online as well,Delucchi said.

The regular adoption fee is $80, kittens 6months or younger are typically $120 and$50 for cats 7 years or older. Every cat orkitten adoption includes all vaccinations aswell as microchip identification, accordingto the PHS. In the spirit of the holidays,Delucchi said adoption fees will also be

waived for mostly black cats as well.“We have people who fall in lo ve with the

cat they fall in love with,” Delucchi said.“We’re not as concerned about t he donationfee, we want this cat to have a good home.”

While some shelters discourage adoption sduring the holidays for fear of impulsiveshoppers or animals given as unwantedgifts, Delucchi said this can be a wonderfultime of year to brin g ho me a new member of the family as people typically have time off from work or school.

“It’s a perfect time to adopt. To have th osefirst few days at home where they can helptheir new pet get settled,” Delucchi said.“It’s also heartwarming for an animal thathasn’t come from the best situation or waswaiting a while to get adopted, knowing thepet will be at a home curled up, is a pretty

nice feeling.”Delucchi said the generous donor making

this year’s Black Cat Friday possible is along time vo lunteer at the PHS and wanted toremain anonymous. As a nonprofit thatthrives on help from its dedicated volun-teers, Delucchi said the organization isgrateful for those who give their time.

About 30 black or mostly black cats founda home during last year’s weeklong promo-tion and this y ear, Delucchi s aid he’s confi-dent Black Cat Friday will again successful-ly unite needy animals and dedicated petowners.

“The one thing we don’t really have toworry about like a lot of the s hopping thathappens on Black Friday, is we’re not thatworried about the animals coming back tous,” Delucchi said. “Our success rate is about90 percent. So it’s a little bit different thanthat ugly s weater you might g et and return.”

counts in st ores and online earlier instead of waiting until Black Friday. And in the lastfew years, they’ve opened locations onThanksgiving Day, a once-sacred holidayfrom retail.

That has led to the “graying” of BlackFriday. In fact, according to the National

Retail Federation, the n ation’s largest retailtrade group, nearly 60 percent of shoppershad already started holiday buying by Nov.10.

Early numbers aren’t out yet, but the retailgroup expected about 30 million peopleshopped on Thanksgiving and 99.7 millionon Black Friday. It also expects about 135 .8million people will be shopping during thefour-day weekend, compared with 133.7 mil-lion l ast year.

The group estimates overall sales forNovember and December will rise 3. 7 percentto $63 0.5 b illion compared with last year.

Judging from the crowds so far, though,the shopper numbers could be hard to comeby. “The frenzy and traffic levels were sub-dued,” said Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a retail consul-tancy.

Here are the three biggest reasons for thegraying of Black Friday:

YOU DON’T HAVE

TO WAIT FOR DISCOUNTS

Many stores p ushed discounts on holidaymerchandise early. Because of that, someshoppers weren’t excited about discounts onThanksgiving and Black Friday.

Jeff Simpson, a principal at Deloitt e, alsosaid doorbusters — fat discounts on hotitems that once drew shoppers in for storeopenings — are losing their “umph.” Tenyears ago, major retailers would focus on the10 best items and discount them below costs,he said. Now, many stores offer several hun-

dred doorbusters, and many of the items don’t

carry a name brand.“They got watered down,” he said. “When

you run that many doorbusters, can they real-ly be that s pecial?”

Some shoppers already are jaded aboutBlack Friday deals. Take Bintou Cham, whogot discounts of 40 to 50 percent at J.C.

Penney and other stores in New York City,but was hopi ng for more.

“I was looking for 70 percent off,” shesaid.

MORE PEOPLE SHOP ONLINEMany stores made their deals available

online and in stores for the official start of the season.

It’s not cl ear whether that mov e made morepeople shop online instead of heading tostores. But Deloitte’s Simpson said retailersneed shoppers in the stores. “You tend to buyfewer items online,” he said.

But executives from top retailers includingWal-Mart, Target and J. C. Penney dismissthe chatter about the irrelevance of BlackFriday, saying they have worked hard toblend their online operations with the phys-

ical stores. Target, Wal-Mart, Toys R Us andJ.C. Penney all said they were pleased withtraffic both at the stores and online for theofficial start of the hol iday season.

J.C. Penney’s CEO Marvin Ellison said:“We saw customers going back and forth,researching online and then go to the

stores.” And Wal-Mart’s Steve Bratspies,chief merchandising officer, said the chainsaw more shoppers going back forthbetween its website and its st ores comparedwith a year.

But sometimes retailers lose when cus-tomers go online. Ashley Walton got outearly to go to stores on Black Friday, but sheleft disappointed. She said Wal-Mart didn’thave the tablet she wanted for her son.

She solved that quickly by ordering it onAmazon.com.

NO ONE WILL START AFIGHT OVER ANYTHING, REALLY

Trend experts say there’s no single itemthat’s making s hoppers rush to stores.

William Taubman, chief operating officer

at Taubman Centers, which operates more

than 20 U.S. malls, said that without a cleartrend in fashion, there’s less of an urgency tobuy.

“The trend is no trend,” he said.

For Pam Williams, the Black Friday shop-ping has lost a bit of its luster becausethere’s n o rush of g etting a sought-after item.

“They kind of took the fun out of BlackFriday when they started opening up onThursday,” said Williams, who was shoppingin Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Friday.

Not that there aren’t any hot items. JimSilver, editor-in-chief of TTPM, an onlinereview site, said about 10 toys are alreadyhard to find, including certain “Star Wars”toys. Still, there doesn’t seem to be panicright n ow.

That’s something Keith Nelson noticed ashe stood in line on Thanksgiving, waitingfor Toys R Us’ 5 p.m. open: “Lines used to belonger, peop le would be sleeping and bring-ing lounge chairs out here,” he said.

Toys R Us CEO Dave Brandon said thelines weren’t as l ong as last year, but the traf-fic built throughout the night. He declined to

give specific numbers.


BLACK NO MAD RUSHBusiness was brisk but not overwhelming at a Macy’s in KansasCity as rain that started Thursday morning continued falling.

There didn’t appear to be any lines more than a few customersdeep.Gerri Spencer and her daughter left home at 4 a.m.andmade their way to a Macy’s store several hours later.Spencersaid the crowds seemed sparser than in the past when Black Friday meant “getting out at the crack of dawn”to get the bestdeals.Some Black Friday shoppers seemed to miss the holiday crowds.At a Kmart in Denver,Susan Montoya had nearly the entire storeto herself. She half-heartedly flipped through a rack of girls’holiday party dresses and looked down the store’s empty aisles.

“There’s no one out here! No challenge!”she said.Lynette Norcup also is nostalgic for Black Fridays of the past.Sitting in the warmth of her daughter’s SUV waiting for Wal-Mart to open, the resident of Pleasanton, California said shethinks the excitement has fizzled with stores opening on

Thanksgiving.Norcup misses the challenge of strategizing to score deals.

WEED FRIDAY Colorado has a new Black Friday tradition: Marijuana shopsdrawing shoppers with discounted weed and holiday gift sets.At Denver Kush Club in Denver,about two dozen customerswere lined up in subfreezing temperatures and snow showersto take advantage of the deals.

The first few customers got free joints,free rolling papers and a T-shirt with purchase.Medical customers were offered ouncesof marijuana for $99 — a savings of about 50 percent.

The shop blasted reggae music and welcomed the crowd withGreen Friday welcome cheers.Similar deals were offered lastyear,the first in which retail recreational marijuana sales opened.“We get a lot of people in the first few hours,just like any storeon Black Friday,”said co-owner Joaquin Ortega.He said marijuanagift-giving is becoming more common, though most wereshopping for themselves Friday.

STORES VS. WEBSITESFor the first time,analysts had predicted more than half of online

traffic to retailer sites would come from smartphones thandesktops during the four-day Black Friday holiday shoppingweekend.On Friday,there was evidence that shoppers were vacillatingbetween both stores and online.Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s chief merchandising officer Steve Bratspiestold the Associated Press that the chain saw more shoppersbuying both on its website and in its stores than the same timea year ago. Target’s CEO Brian Cornell said that online sales on

Thanksgiving were strong,outpacing the performance on theholiday a year ago.That’s making it Target’s biggest day onlinefor sales yet,driven largely by electronics. He also was pleasedwith store traffic. And J.C. Penney’s CEO Marvin Ellison said thatthe chain worked hard to make its app more user friendly,andas a result,its online sales.

“We saw customers going back and forth, researching onlineand then go to the stores,”he said.Meanwhile,Chip Gentry in Atlanta headed out to stores insteadof purchasing items online.He walked out of a Best Buy withan Xbox One and extra controller,saving about $150 in total.“I’m looking for the deals online and going out to stores to getthem,”he said.Kristen Wyatt in Denver, Colorado,Scott Smith in Pleasanton,California,Jonathan Landrum in Atlanta,Mae Anderson,CandiceChoi and Anne D’Innocenzio in New York,Bill Draper in KansasCity,Kansas and Astrid Galvan in Tucson,Arizona contributedto this report.

THE GREAT OUTDOORSAt Catalina State Park just north in Arizona,dozens of families anddogs hiked through the saguaro cactus-covered mountains.Many said they didn’t plan on shopping on Black Friday anyway.Krista Wells, of Tucson, said she wanted her daughters tounderstand that the holidays are about spending time withfamily,not shopping.“This is about the season of bringing together and reflectingupon family and getting into the Christmas holiday.I don’t think there’s a retail holiday,”she said.Jennifer Rojas was hiking down a steep hill with her mother.She said she tries to hike every year after Thanksgiving and likesto avoid the shopping crowds.“I’d rather appreciate nature, rather than being at a mall orwatching TV,”Rojas said.

In Uganda, pope honorsChristian martyrs, meets youth

KAMPALA, Uganda — Pope Francis is paying hisrespects to 19th century Ugandan Christians who were

burnt alive rather than renounce theirfaith, the latest group of martyrs fromaround the world honored by Francis inhopes of giving today’s faithful mis-sionary role models.

Francis will pray Saturday at shrinesdedicated to the 23 Anglican and 22Catholic martyrs who were killedbetween 1885 and 1887 on the orders of a local king eager to thwart the influenceof Christianity in his central Ugandan

kingdom. At Namugongo, where most of the martyrs wereburned alive, he will celebrate Mass in their h onor to markthe 50th anniversary of the Catholics’ canonization.

As many as 2 million people are expected to attend,including the president of neighboring South Sudan, withwhom Francis met in private after his official welcome cer-emony Saturday with Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.

“They remind us of th e importance that faith , moral recti-tude and commitment to the common g ood have played, andcontin ue to play, in t he cultural, economic and poli tical lifeof thi s country,” Francis to ld Museveni and other Ugandanauthorit ies and diplomats at a ceremony at the State House.

After the ceremony, Francis was welcomed at a secondary

shrine to the martyrs by tens of thousands of shriekingfaithful and a hip-gyrating traditional dancers, evidence of the enthusiasm that has greeted Francis on his first trip toAfrica.

Two Palestinians killedafter attacking Israeli troops

JERUSALEM — Israeli troops shot and killed twoPalestinians after they rammed their cars into soldiers inseparate attacks in the West Bank on Friday as th e country’sdefense minis ter urged Israelis to b race themselves for moreviolence, saying he cannot see an end to the near-dailyPalestinian attacks.

Friday’s attacks, in which at least eight Israeli soldierswere injured, were the latest in over two months of blood-shed that erupted over tensions at a sensitive holy site inJerusalem, sacred to Jews and Muslims, and quickly escalat-ed and spread to the West Bank, Israel and the Gaza border.

Since mid-September, 19 Israelis have been killed inPalestinian attacks, mostly stabbings and shootings. Atleast 96 Palestinians have also died, including 61 said byIsrael to be attackers. The others died in clashes with Israeliforces.

Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon told Israelis to be pre-pared for more attacks by Palestinians.

“This terror wave will accompany us in t he coming days,the coming weeks and maybe lo nger than th at,” Yaalon saidat a conference in th e Red Sea resort of Eilat. “It mig ht esca-late and therefore we need to prepare,” Yaalon was quoted assaying by th e Army Radio’s website.

Strikes on IS city, focus of international campaign, kill eight

BEIRUT — A new wave of airstrik es t argeting the Sy riancity of Raqqa, the headquarters of the extremist IslamicState group and the focus of an international military cam-

paign, killed at least eight people, including five children,Syrian opposition groups said Friday.

The strikes came as France’s foreign minister, LaurentFabius, declared that destroying the IS headquarters and“neutralizing and eradicating” the extremist group is themain objective of the in ternational campaign.

It wasn’t immediately clear who carried out the latestairstrikes. The city in no rthern Syria is th e group’s de factocapital and has become the focus of international airstrikesin the wake of the Paris terror attacks and the bombing of aRussian jetlin er over Egypt ’s Sinai Peninsula. IS has said itwas behind both attacks.

CHICAGO — Hundreds of protestersblocked sto re entrances and shut downtraffic in Chicago’s ritziest shoppingdistrict on Black Friday to draw atten-tion to the 2014 police killing of ablack teenager who was shot 16 timesby a white officer.

Demonstrators stood shoulder toshoulder in a cold drizzling rain to turnthe traditional start of the holidayshopping season on MichiganAvenue’s Magnificent Mile into ahigh-profile platform from which todeliver their message: The killing of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald — cap-tured on a squad-car video made publicearlier this week — was another exam-ple of what they say is the systemicdisregard poli ce show for the liv es andrights of black people.

They chanted “16 sh ots! 16 shots!”

and stopped traffic for blocks toexpress their anger over the Oct. 20,2014, shooting and the subsequentinvestigation, which they say wasmishandled.

While shoppers continued to maketheir way along sidewalks and theempty street, some major retailerswere forced to clo se, at least tempo rar-ily. Among them was the typicallyswamped Appl e sto re, where dozens of employees in red shirts stood in an

otherwise empty two-story space and

watched through store windows as pro-testers linked arms to stop anyonefrom entering.

It was the largest demonstration inChicago’s streets since police onTuesday released the v ideo under a courtorder to make it public.

The footage shows McDonald jog-ging down a street and then veeringaway from Officer Jason Van Dyke andanother officer who emerge from apoli ce SUV drawing their g uns. Within

seconds, Van Dyke begins firin g.

McDonald, who authorit ies allege wascarrying a three-inch knife and wassuspected of breaking into cars, spinsaround and falls t o t he pavement as VanDyke keeps sho oting.

Prosecutors charged Van Dyke withfirst-degree murder on Tuesday, hoursbefore the vi deo’s release.

Frank Chapman, 73, of Chicago,said the video confirms what activistshave said for years about Chicagopolice brutality.

The WASHINGTON — The Parisattacks have renewed debate on theU.S. government’s post-Sept. 11domestic surveillance laws, leading toefforts to revive the issue on CapitolHill and handing Marco Rubio anopening against Ted Cruz in theRepublican presidential race.

The two senators were on oppositesides earlier this year when Congresseliminated the National SecurityAgency’s bulk phone-records collec-tion program and replaced it with amore restrictive measure to keep therecords in phone companies’ hands.

Rubio, R-Fla., sided with topRepublican senators in trying unsuc-

cessfully to extend the existing pro-gram, saying that national securityrequired it. Cruz, R-Texas, allied him-

self with Democrats and the few otherRepublicans who said the programamounted to intrusive governmentoverreach with no security benefit andvoted to remake it.

Now, with polls showing the publicis growing more concerned with secu-rity after the Paris attacks this monththat killed 130 people, Rubio is back-ing long-shot legislation aimed atkeeping the intended changes fromtaking effect at mont h’s end, as sched-uled. He also needling Cruz, who isresponding just as adamantly, as thetwo, rising in the presidential polls,escalate their direct confrontations.

“This is not a personal attack. It’s a

poli cy difference,” Rubio said recentlyin an interview in Des Moines, Iowa.He said Cruz had join ed with Senate lib-

erals and the ACLU “to undermine theintelli gence programs of this country.”“They do so under the guise of pro-

tecting our liberties,” Rubio s aid. “Butin fact you can protect our libertieswithout undermining those pro-grams.”

Cruz, in an interview, disputedRubio’s criticism.

“I disagree with some WashingtonRepublicans who think we should dis-regard and discard the constitutionalprotections of American citizens,” hesaid. “We can keep this nation safewithout acquiescing to Big Brotherhavin g information about every aspectof our lives.”

NEW YORK — Stocks finishedmostly higher Friday as theywrapped up a quiet week of trading .

The Standard & Poor’s 500index fluctuated early o n, but man-aged to eke out a small gain astelecommunications and financialstocks rose. Disn ey dragged downthe Dow Jones industrial averageafter the company said ESPN lost3 million subscribers in the lastyear. Oil prices slumped, draggin gdown energy stocks.

The Dow fell 14.90 points, or0.1 percent, to 17,798.49. TheS&P 500 picked up 1.24 points,or less than 0.1 percent, to2,090.11. The Nasdaq compositeindex added 11.38 points, or 0.2percent, to 5,127.52.

U.S. markets were closedThursday for the Thanksgiving

holiday, and closed at 1 p.m. onFriday.

Stocks didn’t have muchmomentum in a week of light trad-ing. The market made its biggestweekly gain of 2015 last week,but this week the Dow fell 0. 1 per-cent and the S&P 500 rose lessthan 0.1 percent.

Oil prices dropped. Benchmark

U.S. crude fell $1.33, or 3.1 per-cent, to $41.71 a barrel in NewYork. Brent crude, a benchmarkfor international oils, gave up 60cents, or 1.3 percent, to $ 44.86 abarrel in London.

The largest losers on the S&P500 were energy stocks. ConsolEnergy lost 52 cents, or 6.5 per-cent, to $7.48 and SouthwesternEnergy gave up 68 cents, or 7.2percent, to $8. 74.

Prudential Financial marketstrategist Quincy Krosby said oil

prices gain ed a premium thi s weekbecause of geopolitical concernslike increased military actionagainst the Islamic State andgrowing tensions between Russiaand Turkey after Turkey shot downa Russian fighter plane onTuesday.

Krosby said those gains maynot last long. Next week OPEC

will hold a meeting in Vienna, andthe group could send oil priceshigher by deciding to cut back onproduction. Or, it could decide tokeep producing oil at its presentrate, which might make prices fallfurther.

That premium on th e price of oil“can move up dramatically butalso come down or dissipate justas quickly,” Krosby said.

Disney fell $3. 54, or 3 percent,to $115.13, its biggest one-dayloss since August. Late

Wednesday, Disney disclosed thatU.S. subscribers to its ESPNsports channel fell for the secondyear in a row, to 92 million as of Oct. 3, matching the lowest totalsince 2006. ESPN’s subscribertotals had hovered around 100 mil-lion for years.

Disney has said that ESPN haslost subscribers, but investors

appeared shaken by the size of thelosses. Small but growing num-bers of people are opting out of traditional cable TV bundles andbuying smaller, less expensivegroups of channels instead.Investors in media companies are

worried about potential losses of subscribers and revenue.

NEW YORK — Sometimes thebest choice is to make none at all,particularly when all the o ptionslook risky.

So if y ou’re deciding whether toinvest in stocks, bonds or some-thing else, remember that youcould leave some of it in cash. Sosays Matt Freund, chief invest-ment officer of USAA’s mutualfunds.

He says stocks are likely due todeliver lower returns than before,maybe 7 percent annually, partlybecause of how high their priceshave become relative to corporateprofits. And as the Federal

Reserve gets closer to raisinginterest rates, Freund expectsprice swings for stocks to getbigger. Bonds, too, are likely to

get more volatile.Instead of taking on a lot of

extra risk for only a little bit morereturn, the righ t choice may be toget more conservative, saysFreund, who manages severalbond mutual funds. He recentlytalked about why it can makesense to stash some cash underthe mattress. The interview hasbeen edited for length and clarity.

Q: How much more vo latil -ity should we be expectingonce the Fed begins raisingrates?

A: We’ve already seen it. Wesaw it in August, when people

were trying to make a huge newsstory about a 10 percent declinefor stocks. I think it is going toget worse. I think these sorts of 5

and 10 percent corrections aregoing to be much more common-place. They’re not going to be asnewsworthy.

Q: Aren’t stocks supposedto do well, even after the Fedstarts raising rates?

A: Everybody talks about howstocks typically don’t peak untiltwo or three years after the Fedbegins raising rates. Is that goingto happen th is time? Is it safe forsto cks? Well, we’re not s ure, b ut Isuspect that it’s not.

Typically, when the Fed raisesrates, the economy is accelerat-ing . And at USAA, while we’re not

calling for a recession, we’re notcalling for an acceleration either.We think we’re going t o be seeingmore of the same, where the econ-

omy is kind of grinding along atvery modest growth.

Stock valuations today are notcheap, and they are (based on theassumption that) economic activ-ity will return to normal, willaccelerate.

Q: So stocks don’t looklike the better investmentversus bonds?

A: People implicitly make theassumption that the market owesthem a good choice.

People always talk about howyou need to buy stocks todaybecause they’re a TINA - there isno alternative. And I completely

disagree. Stocks may b eat cash orbonds. But that doesn’t meanyou’re being p aid for the risk, andthat doesn’t mean it’s appropriate

for you and your time horizon.Q: What kinds of invest-

ments do y ou l ike?A: I actually do like high-yield.Q: Don’t managers of

high-yield bond fundsalways say they l ike high-yield?

A: If I gave you the choice of two asset classes, and one wasgoing to earn 7 percent and bereally v olatile, and the other wasgoing to earn almost 7 percentbut with a lot less volatility,which one is better? I think thatfor the same returns, take lessrisk.

Well, start cranking up the comparisonsbecause the 2015 team will be just the sec-ond team in school history to make it to th eCCS championsh ip g ame. The second-seed-ed Cougars ground out a 28-14 win over No.3 Carmel in the a CCS Division V semifinalgame Friday nig ht in Half Moon Bay.

SANTA CLARA — For the past four seasons,the Cardinals watched the San Francisco 49ersand Seattle Seahawks rule the NFC West, and itsometimes left Arizona with little to play forlate in the year.

Oh, how that’s changed in 2015, with theCardinals among the NFL elite.

Arizona (8-2) brings a four-game winningstreak into Sunday’s road game against SanFrancisco. The Cardinals’ 47-7 victory in Week3 over the Niners helped them get rolling.

“This has been a bad-boy division with theSeahawks and 49ers,” safety Tyrann Mathieusaid. “So, we just try to go in and play our styleof football ... and hopefully have some success,have the type of success those teams have hadover the last couple years.”

Yet Arizona hasn’t won on San Francisco’shome field since 2008, losing six straight andseven of eight. The 49ers (3-7) have made aquarterback change since the teams last playedand now feature Blaine Gabbert under center

instead of Colin Kaepernick, who threw fourinterceptions in the last meeting.

Coach Bruce Arians’ message has been areminder about the team’s struggles here in thepast, and not to take anything for granted at thisstage with the season’s stretch run ahead.

“We haven’t won in their st adium since 2008and that’s been talked about a lot,” quarterback

Carson Palmer said. “They’ve been one of thetwo best teams in this division for a long time.They’ve been to the Super Bowl recently. It’s anNFC West game. They’re the 49ers: the history,the tradition. This is a big game for us.”

The Cardinals sure look like one of thefavorites to return to Levi’s Stadium for theSuper Bowl in two months. Not that it has evencome up.

“No, no, we’ll wait for that some other time,”Arians said. “We haven’t won there in so long,so I don’t think we can dream about that.”

Here are some things to watch for Sunday:

Defending GabbertMathieu made it clear there’s a big difference

between Kaepernick and Gabbert, who led a vic-

tory against Atlanta on Nov. 8 in his first startin more than two years, then lost at Seattle.

“It seems like he takes care of the footballway better. If he gets in a situation where hefeels pressure, he’s not just going to give thedefense an opportunity to make a play,”Mathieu said.

Iupati’s returnMike Iupati didn’t play in Week 3 agains t his

former 49ers, who selected him 17th overall inthe first round of the 2010 draft. He was slowedby a knee injury early, but is expected to be a gothis weekend after sustaining a stinger in a winagainst the Bengals one week after a neck injuryat Seattle required him to leave on a st retcher andbe hospitalized.

“Mike has bounced back,” Arians said. “Iknow he wanted to (face San Francisco) the lasttime and we kind of said, ‘Hey, you’re not readyyet,’ so yeah, I think he’ll have some extra ener-gy and be ready to go for his old buddies.”

Outspoken DBsPlayers in the Cardinals’ secondary were out-

spoken about their ability to read Kaepernickwith a “simplified” passing game.

Even this week Mathieu said it: “We just knewKaepernick’s tendencies.”

Arians appreciates that swagger, even if itmight be a bit brash at times.

“Yeah, they probably get it from me. So I

don’t have a problem with it . I think sometimesthey need to shut up and just play,” he said.

Miscues on D

San Francisco’s defense missed tackles andgot burned by backup rookie running backThomas Rawls in l ast week’s loss at Seattle, andthe 49ers will have to find a way to make playsthis week to avoid what happened in Arizona.

Palmer threw for 311 yards and two TDs,Chris Johnson ran for 110 yards and two scores,while Larry Fitzgerald had nine catches for 134yards and two touchdown receptions.

“We all need to be a little bit more account-able in how we play the game,” safety Eric Reidsaid.

Cardinals the team playing for something, not 49ers

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The OaklandRaiders are showing how quickly a youngquarterback can help turn a team around withDerek Carr taking charge in his second sea-son. The Tennessee Titans believe they

have just such a quarterback in rookieMarcus Mariota.Now each team needs its quarterback to

help s nap a ski d Sunday.The Raiders (4-6) have lost three straight

to drop them to third in the AFC West, andthey need their offense cranked back up tostay in the playoff race. They’ve struggledthe past couple weeks and are making theirsecond of back-to-back road trips after an18-13 loss at Detroit last week.

“We’re looking to get back on track,”Oakland coach Jack Del Rio said. “We havea lot of playmakers, we have a line that’sbeen doing a good job protecting players,

and Derek has been the guy who is leadingthe way. He’s been accurate throwing theball, he’s a good decisio n maker, and we justreally want t o get ourselves going again.

Carr, the 36th overall draft pick last yearout of Fresno State, already has five 300-yard passing games this season. He hasthrown for 21 touchdowns with only sixinterceptions, and ranks seventh in the NFLwith a 99.4 passer rating

“You don’t see h im get rattled, Carr, at allfor his age or his experience,” Titans inter-im coach Mik e Mularkey s aid.

The Titans (2-8) have lost two straightand had a 10-day break after a 19-13 losslast week at Jacksonville. They also havedropped 10 straight at home. Mariota hasyet to win at home even though he leads allNFL rookies with a 96.1 passer rating thatranks 12t h in th e NFL. Mariota also is com-pleting 65.3 percent of his passes, a markthat would put him third all-time amongrookie quarterbacks behind Ben

Roethli sberger and Robert Griffin III.Carr thinks Mariota’s done a great job so

far.“I went through what he’s going through

right now last year,” Carr said. “A lot of highs, a lot of lows, that’s going to hap-pen, but he seems like a great person. Heknows how to go in and fix the mistakesthat he makes and as long as he cont inues todo that, which from what I hear, I kno w thathe will, he’s going to be a great player inthis league.”

Some things to lo ok for out of the Raidersand Titans:

Dropping the ballRaiders wide receiver Amari Cooper has

had a stellar rookie season with 51 catchesfor 736 yards and four TDs. His on e problemhas been a propensity to drop passes.Cooper’s 10 drops are the second most inthe league, according t o Pro Footb all Focus.Cooper had two drops last week with just

one catch for 4 yards.

Protecting CarrThe Raiders have allowed Carr to be

sacked only 11 t imes and have given up just13 overall. They will be tested by a Titansdefense that has 31 sacks and ranks first inthe NFL in sacks per pass play. Titans line-

backer Brian Orakpo has seven sacks,including at least one in each of the pastfour games.

Going deepCarr has been one of the better deep

passers in the league this season when he’shad the chance. Carr has completed all threepasses he has thrown more than 20 yardsdownfield the pas t two g ames, but is used tohaving more opportunities. BothMinnesota and Detroit took away the deeppass to make Oakland put together longdrives.

SAN JOSE — Jeremy McNichols scoredthree touchdowns, including a school-record 88-yard run, and Boise State ran awayfrom San Jose State 40-23 on Friday.

McNichols added a 19-yard TD carry in the

fourth as the Broncos (8-4, 5-3 MountainWest) turned a one-score game in to an easywin. McNichols finished with 192 yards —a career high and seventh-straight 100-yardday. He also had six receptio ns for 4 0 yardsand a touchdown.

San Jose State (5-7, 4-4) led 10-9 at half-

time, courtesy of Kenny Potter’s 35-yardtouchdown pass to Billy Freeman — and amissed Broncos extra point attempt.

But Boise State used a 14-play, 97-yarddrive that took up 6:41 of the third quarter— culminating in Brett Rypien’s 5-yardtoss to McNichols — to take the lead for

good. Rypien finished 25 of 33 for 197

yards and two touchdown p asses.

Potter was 28 of 41 for 336 yards and

three touchdowns for the Spartans, but was

intercepted twice.

to it’s “Jumbo” package — which everyoneknows as the scrum. Over the final quarter-and-half, the Cougars picked up chunks of yardage at a time.

“We use it to kill clock,” Holden said.“We’re comfortable with it. We put all thepressure on our (offensive) li ne.

“It gets the ball to (Matt) Spigelman, whois our best player.”

Spigelman, a senior running back, was themain beneficiary of Half Moon Bay’s hard-to-stop offense. The senior rushed for a game-high 201 yards and three touchdowns on 26carries. Spigelman had five carries for 83yards in the first h alf and added 111 on 19 sec-ond-half carries.

“He’s a stud,” Holden said of Spigelman.“He likes th ose situations. He likes when he’schallenged.”

The Half Moon Bay defense h ad challengesof its own — mainly, trying to stop a Carmeloffense that came into the game averagingnearly 40 points per game. The Padres werecoming a 50-47 first-round win over King’sAcademy last week and loo ked unsto ppable attimes.

In the end, however, it was the Cougarsdefense that imposed its will. While Half Moon Bay did allow 324 yards of offense, butit held the Padres to just a pair of first-half touchdowns.

It appeared the game was destined to be atrack meet as both teams marched up and downthe field in the opening quarter. Half MoonBay received the opening kicko ff and prompt-ly drove 70 yards on nine plays. AnthonyDemartini and Chase Hofmann were the work-horses on the drive, combining for 43 yards.

But it was Spigelman who capped the drivewith a 7-yard run for a 6-0 Cougars’ lead.

It was a short-liv ed advantage, ho wever, asCarmel (8-4) needed just three plays to 43yards. After losing a yard on their first playfrom scrimmage and an incomplete pass, theCarmel quarterback took the snap, boltedupfield and went 44 yards for the score. Theextra poin t gave the Padres a 7-6 lead.

The Cougars answered right back. Startingfrom their own 26, they methodically moveddown the field. Facing a second-and-goal fromthe Carmel 7-yard line, Hofmann took a hand-off up the middle, churning his way to aboutthe 2 before burrowing into the end zone toput Half Moon Bay up 13-7 with 1:11 to playin the first quarter.

Carmel embarked on a long drive thatbridged the first and second quarters before

ultimately punting. The Cougars took over attheir own 20 and for the third time on threedrives, they took it in for the score. Afterpicking up an initial first down, Half MoonBay had a second-and-7 from its own 34.Spigelman took an option pitch from quarter-back Gavin Tomberl in and scampered 66 yards

for a touchdown to put the Cougars up 20-7with 5:17 left in the first half.

Carmel responded with arguably its bestdrive of the game, going 87 yards on 15 playsand scoring from 2 yards out with under 30seconds left in the first half.

The two teams exchanged punts to start thesecond half before Carmel drove from the Half Moon Bay 45 to the 14 before the drivestalled. The Padres attempted a 31-yard fieldgoal, but it was blocked.

Two plays into the Cougars’ next posses-

sion , th ey turned to Spig elman and the scrum.Over the final 16 minutes and 29 seconds of the game, Half Moon Bay picked up 10 firstdowns.

Holden said what makes the scrum so effec-tive is its h ard to prepare for.

“It’s hard to have your scout team emulate itin practice,” Holden said.

Spigelman scored his third touchdown of the game to cap a 15-play, 81-yard drive,going in from 3 yards out.

Now, th e Cougars get a chance to win anot h-er CCS title 10 years after winning their first.But Holden and his team are just enjo ying theride.

“It’s not every year you play in a semifinalgame,” Holden said. “We just want them (theplayers) to appreciate what they have.”

ball to the best matchup on the field,” Parodi said of Wetteland.

Not even two first-half interceptions could throw off Wetteland, who was 10 for 13 in the second half alone.

“Poised,” is how Taylor described his quarterback. “He waspoised the entire game.”

Joey Sabel was Wetteland’s favorite target on the day as he fin-ished with a team-high seven catches for 57 yards.

Silver Creek proved to be more than just James, as the Raidersused him as little more than decoy throughout the game. Hislongest run of the day was a 48-yard gain midway through thethird quarter, but for the most part, Hillsdale kept him bottled up.

“Their offense is pretty good, but our whole defense did reallygood,” said Hillsdale defensive lineman Siua E’Tu, who had a bigsack late in the fourth quarter. “During the week, we talked abouttackling [James]. Everyone worked as a team to stop him. He’s abig dude. He did a great job, but our defense worked harder.”

After going scoreless in the first half and trailing 7-0 at half-time after Silver Creek quarterback Miguel Lopez snuck the ballinto the end zone from 1 yard out with under 30 seconds to playin the second quarter, Hillsdale finally found another gear offen-sively. The Knights were forced to punt on their first possessionof the second half, but got the ball back on an Austin Mah inter-ception. On the ensuing possession, Wetteland completed threepasses for 46 yards before Taylor did the rest. After runs of 6, 1

and 2 yards, Taylor ran an underneath screen, took the pass fromWetteland and weaved his way 19 yards for the score. JoshJanakes’ extra point tied the game at 7 with 5 :46 to play in thethird.

Silver Creek responded by driving to the Hillsdale 12-yardline, before a penalty stalled the drive. The Raiders attempted a37-yard field goal, but it was well short.

Hillsdale took over and drove 80 yards to take the lead forgood. The big play during the eight-play drive was a Wetteland toIsaiah Cozzolino pass-and-catch for 38 yards down to the SilverCreek 25.

Cozzolino finished the game with four catches for 70 yards.

Later in the drive, facing a fourth-and-1 at the Raiders’ 16,Taylor took a direct snap out of the “Wildcat” formation, pickedup some key blocks and went around right tackle and into the endzone from 16 yards out to put Hillsdale up 13-7 with 11:54 toplay in the game.

It was one of several plays during which Taylor served as quar-terback.

“It’s something I wanted to do all season. It was fun. I enjoyedit,” Taylor said of playing quarterback. “We didn’t really work onit in the beginning of the season, but about two weeks ago, weput the package in.”

Silver Creek punted on its next possession and the Raiders’defense appeared to have stopped Hillsdale on its ensuing pos-session, as the Knights lined up for a punt near midfield onfourth-and-a-long-5.

But Parodi pulled a trick out of his hat. As the Knights lined upto punt, the entire unit shifted into what appeared to be a fakepunt. Silver Creek jumped offsides.

Now facing fourth-and-inches, the Knights went for it, withTaylor, again, taking a direct snap and picking up 18 yards. Theyhad to sett le for a Janakes’ 30-yard field goal to up with a lead of 16-7.

Silver Creek tried to get tricky on the ensuing kickoff, fum-bling the ball away to the Knights on a failed reverse, with

Hillsdale’s Cole Jensen giving the Knights possession at theSilver Creek 8-yard line.

The Raiders appeared to catch a break when a Janakes’ 31-yardfield goal attempt hit the left upright, but the Raiders were whis-tled for roughing the kicker, giving Hillsdale a first down at theRaiders’ 6. Taylor then iced the game with a 6-yard run to put theKnights up 23-7 with just over four minutes to play.

“Sometimes you need some divine intervention, or whateveryou want to call i t,” Parodi said. “The fact we’ve gotten back there(to the CCS title) is great. Now, we have to take that next step.”
