City denies KTen shopping center

GOP to pursue ‘hostile’ overhaul of schools By John Hanna Associated Press

Richard Gwin/Journal-World File Photo

THIS AERIAL PHOTO FROM SEPT. 5, 2015, SHOWS THE INTERCHANGE of South Iowa Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway. On Tuesday, city commissioners voted 4-1 to deny zoning and planning changes to allow a shopping center project called KTen Crossing that would add about 250,000 square feet of new retail and commercial space at the southeast corner of the interchange.

Mayor says Lawrence not equipped to push boundaries farther south By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

In a 4-1 vote Tuesday night, the Lawrence City Commission denied zoning and planning changes that would have allowed for a new shopping center in south Lawrence, saying the city was not yet ready to open up land south

of Kansas Highway 10 for development. The project on the table was KTen Crossing, a nearly 250,000-square-foot shopping center proposed for the southeast corner of the South Lawrence Trafficway and South Iowa Street intersection. KTen Crossing would have been the city’s first

commercial development south of K-10, and it would have required the extension of sewer and water lines. In an opposition speech, Mayor Mike Amyx said Lawrence was not currently equipped to change the city’s long-range plans and push its boundaries farther south. “If we jump the (South

Lawrence Trafficway), I guarantee you, the property to the west, you may as well recommend it for (regional commercial) right now because we can hardly deny it,” Amyx said. “Once you take that waterline across, that will open up that entire area for development.

Topeka — Conservative Republican legislators are preparing to push for huge changes in Kansas’ education system, and more liberal lawmakers said Tuesday that some of their proposals are “hostile” to public K-12 schools. Ideas under consideration include junking current standardized testing for students, turning over some school services to private companies LEGISLATURE and forgoing federal dollars to avoid federal education requirements. A joint legislative committee set up last year to study what students should be learning and the best way to fund schools met briefly Tuesday to review a draft report from its chairman. The report calls for a “complete overhaul” of how the state distributes more than $4 billion in aid annually to its 286 local school districts.

Lawmakers hopeful for Medicaid expansion debate By Peter Hancock

“

We can protect the state general fund, and we can provide health care to about ... about A former Republican 138,000 Kansans who don’t have that care topresident of the Kansas day.” Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Senate said Tuesday that expanding the state’s Medicaid program, known as KanCare, as allowed under federal law would actually benefit the state general fund to the tune of more than $200 million a year. “We can protect the state general fund, and we can provide health care to about ... about 138,000 Kansans who don’t have that care

— Dave Kerr, former Kansas Senate president today,” said Dave Kerr, a Hutchinson businessman who served 20 years in the Legislature, including four years as Senate President from 2001 through 2004. Although the state would have to pay 5-10 percent of the cost of covering those

individuals under KanCare, Kerr said Kansas would save hundreds of millions of dollars more by reducing or eliminating other categories of health care expenses including prisoner health care costs and grants to community mental health centers.

Kerr was among several people who made presentations during a forum on KanCare expansion held Tuesday at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park. The forum was sponsored by the Kansas Hospital Association and several health care advocacy groups. But lawmakers from both sides of the aisle said getting an expansion bill through the Legislature will be an uphill battle, despite bipartisan support for some sort of expansion. And some said it will likely take more than one legislative session to craft a plan.

“I think this is a 16-month effort,” said Senate Vice President Jeff King, R-Independence. Sen. Jim Denning, R-Overland Park, agreed, saying, “We won’t have a final product at the end of this session.” But Sen. Laura Kelly, D- King Topeka, said it’s important for lawmakers at least to begin a discussion about Medicaid expansion. “I think it’s absolutely imperative that we have the debate this year, that we discuss it,” she said.

area, according to the Chicago Tribune. A group had gathered at the lake house for the weekend, and the four men headed outside about 2:30 a.m. Sunday, the Tribune reported. The rest of the group called for help the next morning after they realized the men never returned to the house and saw their three-seater canoe overturned in the water. Authorities do not suspect foul play, Roberts told the Tribune. He said alcohol was consumed, no life jackets were found on or near the canoe, and the men were dressed in “hockey jerseys and casual clothes.” “We are identifying this as nothing more than a tragic accident,” Roberts said. Weinstein had many friends in the KU Jewish community, said Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel, director of Chabad at KU. Tiechtel, who said he’d known Weinstein since his freshman year, described him as “a happy, happy guy” and recalled, in particular, him dancing on the tables at the conclusion of the last Passover Seder dinner at Chabad. “We all started dancing together with such joy,” Tiechtel said. “I never will forget that moment.” Tiechtel shared the news of Weinstein’s death with fellow KU Jewish students via email. “It is so hard for his dear family and many friends to go through such a big loss,” Tiechtel wrote. “There is no doubt to all of us that the soul of our dear Mori Weinstein will always remain to be there with us.” Weinstein, a business major, was a great skateboarder, a great cook, laidback, genuine and “really easy to talk to,” said friend and fellow KU student Brandon Goldberg, a junior from Chicago. “Everyone loved Mori,” Goldberg said. “He’s the centerpiece of a room. And not that he was ever the kid to be getting all the attention in terms of being loud or anything, he just had a presence around him that made him him.” Goldberg, who did not know the other victims, said Weinstein had gone to high school with them and that they were all home for winter break. KU classes resume Jan. 19. “Going back to KU is going to be much different without him there,” Goldberg said. — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

Man jumps from second-story window to escape blaze By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

Several dogs died in a Tuesday morning house fire west of Baldwin City, firefighters said. No people were seriously injured, but the house is considered a total loss. At 10:13 a.m. firefighters received a report of a two-story house on fire at 113 East 1000 Road, said Willow Springs Fire Department Assistant Chief Clint Hornberger. The only resident of the home, a

man, was forced to jump out of the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-story window to escape the flames. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was asleep and woke up and the room was full of smoke,â&#x20AC;? Hornberger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He went to go down the stairs, but the stairs had fire in them so he had to go out the window.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was not injured,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a little sore or a little bruised up from the fall, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break anything. No injuries from the fire.â&#x20AC;? Firefighters had the fire out by

around 11:15 a.m., Hornberger said. None of the approximately 10 dogs living in the house at the time of the fire survived, Hornberger said. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but Hornberger said the fire appeared to be accidental. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at cswanson@ljworld.com or 832-7144.

State of the State address won’t be televised this year

or the first time in many years, the Kansas governor’s State of the State address won’t be broadcast live on television. At least that’s how things stand now. Dave McClintock, interim CEO of KPTSTV, the public television station in Wichita, said the station was unable to raise the money to cover the cost of the broadcast this year and therefore decided to cancel it. KPTS has carried the State of the State address for the last several years and has shared both the video and audio feeds with other stations that wanted to carry it. This year, however, it’s doubtful that many commercial stations would carry it anyway because

p.m. that same night. J. Schafer, news director at Kansas Public Radio in Lawrence, said KPR will carry the audio portion of the speech live, and will make that signal available to other public radio stations in Kansas City, Wichita, Pittsburg, Hutchinson and Garden City by way of an NPR satellite, but that satellite signal is unavailable to non-NPR affiliates. McClintock said he regretted that KPTS is unable to carry the speech this year. “Hopefully we’ll not be in that position next year,” he said. — This is an excerpt from Peter Hancock’s Statehouse Live column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

It said KBA’s board of directors had voted unanimously two weeks earlier “to shift the organization’s mission to the private market in 2016, allowing portfolio companies to partner with experienced investors in the private sector, retaining Kansas bioscience jobs and paving the way for the continued growth of the sector in Kansas.” In that same statement, the agency announced that Duane Cantrell was stepping down as president and CEO of the organization and that Lockett had been named as his replacement. KBA was established by the Kansas Legislature in 2004 as a kind of venture capital firm that would make loans to startup bioscience companies and give grants to state univer-

A survey will also be available online at some point, but the district did not have details on that as of Tuesday afternoon. The public sessions are as follows: Jan. 13: l 5:30-6:15 p.m. at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School cafeteria, 1400 Massachusetts St. l 6:30-7:15 p.m. at South Middle School cafeteria, 2734 Louisiana St.

Jan. 14: l Noon-12:45 p.m. Multipurpose room (upstairs) at Lawrence School District Office, 110 McDonald Drive. l 6-6:45 p.m. West Middle School library, 2700 Harvard Road. l 7-7:45 p.m. Southwest Middle School cafeteria, 2511 Inverness Drive. The district will also be scheduling input sessions next week for its high school students, certified teachers, classified staff members and school and district administrators.

sities to conduct bioscience research. But in recent years, tensions have arisen between KBA and the Legislature, with some lawmakers questioning how the agency has been managed, how it has invested its funds, and whether it’s even appropriate for the state to be involved in the venture capital business. Last year, lawmakers slashed KBA’s annual appropriation to just $13 million for each of the next two years, with $6 million of that reserved for grants to universities. KBA had been expecting to receive $35 million this year, and $75 million in fiscal year 2017. Kenny Wilk, a former Republican lawmaker from Lansing who was one of the original architects of the Bioscience Authority, said it was always assumed that it would eventually transition to a private-sector entity. “It was always the vision that the KBA would

either, one, go away because it had fulfilled its mission, or two, that it would move toward some sort of privatization model,” said Wilk, who now serves on the KBA board of directors. “How we have arrived where we’re at today probably was not the most desirable way to get there,” he added, “but it’s where we’re at. Personally I would have liked to have seen the state stick with the full commitment that we originally passed. That didn’t happen. So we’re moving toward the privatization plan with the full intent of trying to leverage and keep the progress that we’ve made, and continue to make more progress in the bioscience sector for the state.” According to its most recent financial audit, the net asset value of KBA’s portfolio was $82.8 million at the end of fiscal year 2015, down nearly 14 percent from its 2013 value of $96.2 million.

In a separate but related search, KU “should have an announcement relatively soon,” possibly by the end of this week, on whom it’s hiring to lead its new Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center, or SAPEC, according to KU spokesman Andy Hyland. While the IOA previ-

ously oversaw the campus’ sexual assault training and other educational duties, KU announced this fall that it was creating a new office for that, SAPEC. In October, assistant vice provost for student affairs Jane Tuttle — who is overseeing the new office — said finalists were expected to visit campus at the end of November and that KU hoped to hire a director before the fall semester ended. —This is an excerpt from Sara Shepherd’s Heard on the Hill column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

communicated by phone with Vanderlinden to exchange cash for meth at predetermined locations, all within 1,000 feet of a school zone, the affidavit says. Over the course of the three transactions, the informant paid Vanderlinden a total of $2,420 for approximately 49.78 grams of meth, the affidavit says. Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley said he could not say which school or schools Vanderlinden is accused of selling meth near because he is unable to release further information on a case once a suspect is charged in district court. On July 16, officers pulled Vanderlinden over on Interstate 70 near Lawrence, the affidavit

says. In speaking with police, Vanderlinden admitted to having sold half an ounce of meth earlier in the day and said that he had an additional ounce in his possession and was planning another sale, according to the affidavit. Vanderlinden was arrested Dec. 21. He is charged with three felony counts of distributing methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of school property and three felony counts of unlawful manufacture, distribution, cultivation or possession of controlled substances using a communication facility. Vanderlinden is being held in Douglas County Jail on a $100,000 cash or surety bond.

Shopping CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

We’re jumping the SLT, and we’re not prepared to do that.” Collett, the North Carolina-based group behind the project, had spent nearly two years attempting to gain approval for a shopping development in that parcel of land. The first, which never gained approval from the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission, was nearly double in size at 500,000 square feet. For the smaller development to move forward, city commissioners would have had to approve the rezoning of about 60 acres at the intersection from residential to commercial. Further, the city’s comprehensive plan, Horizon 2020, would have to have been altered to reflect the commercial use of the land. Horizon 2020 currently calls for the area to be used for auto-related commercial establishments in the future. Matthew Herbert was the sole commissioner in favor of the measures.

Medicaid CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

King’s position on Medicaid expansion is being watched closely, not just because he’s part of the GOP leadership team, but because he represents Independence, whose community hospital was forced to close in October. Hospital officials cited Kansas’ failure to expand Medicaid as one of the contributing factors, noting that part of the funding for the federal program involves reduced Medicare payments to hospitals, money they had received for treating the uninsured.

Wednesday, January 6, 2016

“

One of the arguments heard against the development Tuesday was that it would leave areas of the city, such as existing, empty commercial area near Rock Chalk Park — known as Mercato — underserved. In response to that argument, Herbert said the City Commission was tasked with creating a “level playing field” and honoring the city tax base. “Retailers know where to build retail because that’s what they do for a living,” Herbert said. “We have Mercato and we need Mercato to be successful, and we can sit and wait, or we can allow development to build where it’s told us they want to build. We’re not in the business of picking winners and losers. We’re in the business of job creation and tax base growth.” City commissioners received more than 60 pages of correspondence and heard from 15 public commenters Tuesday night both in support and opposition to the project. The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission recommended the changes for approval, as did the city’s planning

staff. As justification for the development, Collett representatives argued the stores, which they said were “new to market,” would attract outof-town shoppers and help prevent Lawrence residents from going elsewhere to spend their sales tax dollars. Chris Challis, a project manager with Collett, has said the group received letters of intent from Academy Sports and Outdoors, Fresh Market, HomeGoods and Old Navy to locate there. Challis said Designer Shoe Warehouse and Off Broadway Shoes also expressed interest, and on Tuesday, the group showed a photo of a Barnes & Noble in a list of prospective tenants. A retail market report Collett commissioned by Kansas City-based Rich-

But King said Medicaid expansion would not have saved the Independence hospital, although he said it would have given the community more options to establish some other type of health care facility. Currently in Kansas, working-age adults are not eligible for Medicaid unless they are pregnant or have dependent children. They also cannot have annual incomes above roughly 25 percent of the federal poverty level. Under the Affordable Care Act, however, states can expand their programs to cover all individuals and families with incomes up to 138 percent of the poverty level, or

$33,465 a year for a family of four. For those who become newly eligible under an expansion, the federal government pays 95 percent of the cost through 2017, a rate that gradually falls to 90 percent in 2020 and thereafter. Kansas, however, is one of 16 states that has so far refused to consider such a move. Republican Gov. Sam Brownback remains a staunch opponent of the federal program, and GOP leaders in the Kansas House last year refused to allow a floor debate or vote on the issue. Rep. Mark Hutton, R-Wichita, sparked ap-

ard Caplan & Associates found KTen Crossing would have added approximately $1.27 million in sales tax revenue in 2019, the year the shopping center was estimated to be fully developed. The report also stated the development was likely to draw in shoppers from around Douglas and Franklin counties and create 442 jobs. Ruby Armstrong, the property owner of the land on which Collett wanted to develop, asked for approval. She said she was “fearful” she would not be able to rent the land after the retirement of the farmer currently using it. In her opposition speech, Commissioner Lisa Larsen said the development was “too big a departure” from Horizon 2020. Commissioner Stuart Boley said development south of K-10 should

be more thoughtfully considered, and Vice Mayor Leslie Soden said, among other things, that she had “some real serious concerns” about encouraging development close to the floodplain surrounding the Wakarusa River. The City Commission’s 4-1 denial Tuesday was enough to overturn the planning commission’s recommendation of approval. If two commissioners had voted to approve the changes, the issue would have gone back before the planning commission for further consideration. City attorneys were directed to prepare findings of fact about the commission’s choice in the case there is future litigation about the decision. Amyx said the vote may have been “the single biggest issue” to come before the current commission. He likened it to the denial of the suburban mall, dubbed “cornfield mall,” in the late 1980s. In that instance, the developer took the city to court in a case that then worked its way to the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, where the city prevailed. “I got sued as a commis-

sioner because I did what I thought was right,” Amyx said. “I’ll continue to do what I think is right with any piece of property after I take all of the recommendations of my professional staff and public comment. I will make that decision.” In other business, commissioners unanimously: l Agreed to award a bid for approximately $3.8 million to Crossland Heavy Contractors for the project of improving the taste and odor of the city’s water. l Accepted two LiveWell Community Wellness grants totaling $13,283 that will be used to fund new downtown bicycle parking, as well as bicycle repair stands and pumps. l Approved changes to plans for Bauer Farm, northeast of the Sixth Street-Wakarusa Drive intersection, allowing for another drive-thru restaurant and bank to locate to the area. l Met for 50 minutes in closed executive session to consult with city attorneys, as well as to talk about non-elected personnel items.

plause from the crowd of about 200 people when he said Brownback’s opposition is probably the biggest obstacle to moving forward on the Medicaid expansion issue. “If you really want to move the needle on this issue, it takes leadership from our governor,” he said. “You look at all the other state programs, (like) Indiana, the governor took the lead, and that’s really where it’s going to have to start.” “I’m really glad that Rep. Hutton made that point,” Kelly responded. “We also have got to get the attention of the leadership in the House and the Senate.”

King and Denning both said that any Medicaid expansion bill would have to be fully funded long into the future, which Denning said he believes will be nearly impossible. He said there are “lots of holes in the projections” about how much an expansion program would cost, adding, “We’ve had our share of missed projections in the last four years.” King said any expansion plan in Kansas would have to include what he called a “work effort” requirement, meaning that any able-bodied adult enrolled in the program would either have to be employed or enrolled in

school or some kind of work training program. But he also said he hopes the Legislature will at least begin discussing the issue in 2016. “There is a bill being proposed that is very close to being introduced that we can kick the tires on, that we can look at inserting, look at deleting, that we can set guideposts,” he said. “I know I have my guideposts that I think need to be there. I know others do as well. ... It’s not going to be short, it’s not going to be easy. It may not even be this year.”

I got sued as a commissioner because I did what I thought was right. I’ll continue to do what I think is right with any piece of property after I take all of the recommendations of my professional staff and public comment.” — Mayor Mike Amyx

Wish lists should offer suggestions, not demands Dear Annie: Our daughters, now in their 50s, have always given us a wish list for Christmas. In years past, I have made it known that this doesn’t constitute the true meaning of Christmas. A year ago, we gave each daughter cash, hoping it would send a message. I also sent cash to my granddaughter, with no acknowledgement. Well, at the end of November, we received an e-list containing a description of each article and a link for purchase. Some of the items are e-books. I also received a similar list from my 27-year-old granddaughter for herself and her significant other. In addition, she sent a note apologizing that she would be unable to join us this year. How do I address her lack of acknowledgement or thanks? Also,

‘Idol’ on its way out after 15 seasons “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG) is leaving the building. The pop cultural phenomenon that dominated the first decade of this century enters its 15th and final season tonight. It’s fitting, all too predictable and emotionally manipulative that the first audition is by a 15-year-old girl who not only grew up with the show, but who can recite every season winner’s name in order. We even get to see an old home video of her 10-year-old self crying when one of her favorites was voted off the contest. So it’s entirely “natural” and yet completely artificial to see this young woman, still in braces, appear before Ryan Seacrest and judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. and tell them that she’s been waiting for this moment her entire life. Because, well, she has. You have to be a sucker to buy into this spectacle. And at the same time, you’d have to possess a heart of stone not to root for this enthusiastic kid. Spoiler alert: She performs LeAnn Rimes’ “Blue” and does well enough to move on. Cue the stampede of happy family members and the familiar “American Idol” anthem. A new, final season has begun.

With “Nashville” on hiatus until spring, ABC airs the second season of “American Crime” (9 p.m., TV-14), starring Felicity Huffman and Timothy Hutton, who also appeared in the first season. This “Crime” takes on an entirely different story, that of a sex scandal involving high school basketball players and class differences between the students and parents at a public and a private high school. Lili Taylor also returns from season one. Slow to build and artfully shot and produced, “Crime” demonstrated that networks could produce serious adult drama.

The proliferation of streaming choices has forced shows to try ever harder to get and keep your attention, resulting in comedies that throw subtlety to the wind. Now in its 11th season, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” (9 p.m., FXX, TV-MA) is probably the pioneer of this comedy of excess. Now entering its second season, “Man Seeking Woman” (9:30 p.m., FXX, TV-MA) relies on the low-key approach of its star (Jay Baruchel) to modulate the absurdity of its situations.

some instances, the links will provide you with a product that you can purchase in a brickand-mortar store. As for e-books, and any other gifts that are sent via the Internet, most allow you to request that they be sent as gifts so that the recipient will get the item along with a note from you. If you find it necessary to hand them something tangible, it is perfectly OK to give them a card saying you have sent them a gift that they will receive in the mail or their inbox. To address their lack of thanks, simply call and ask, “Did you get the gift I sent you? I wasn’t sure, because I never got a note from you.” That should clear things right up.

Parking plan The plan to provide additional parking for a huge apartment complex near KU deserves careful examination but appears to be a reasonable solution.

uilding a parking garage on adjacent property may be the best option for the massive apartment/ retail project under construction across the street from Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium. Here@Kansas, the developer of the 500,000-square-foot, multistory building, found itself in a bind recently when the company it had contracted with to install a high-tech robotic parking system in the structure declared bankruptcy. Without the robotic system, the space allocated in the structure wouldn’t accommodate the 685 parking spaces called for in the approved plans. That was an important issue for Lawrence city commissioners and residents of the Oread Neighborhood, who were concerned that insufficient parking would push more cars onto residential streets. Unable to find another contractor to install a robotic system, Here had to look for other solutions. Last month, the developers filed a new plan that involved the demolition of an apartment house and the construction of a traditional parking garage just south of the project. The proposed garage would provide 96 parking spaces, bringing total parking for the building to 712 spaces. Although the innovative parking accommodations may have been a selling point for city commissioners who approved a controversial 85 percent, 10-year property tax rebate for the project, the change in parking arrangements probably isn’t enough to warrant reconsideration of the incentive package. However, the changes do give commissioners the opportunity to revisit the parking issue and make sure that sufficient off-street parking is being provided. Some observers have continued to wonder whether 685 — or even 712 — parking spaces is enough to serve 237 apartments with 624 bedrooms. If current city commissioners are concerned about those numbers, they might consider requiring the developers to build a larger garage or one that could accommodate the addition of another level if parking proves to be a problem for the neighborhood. City officials also will need to make sure the additional garage is acceptable at that location and designed appropriately to blend with adjacent structures. That being said, Here’s plan to provide additional parking could have been a lot worse. City planners and commissioners should examine this proposal carefully, but, on the surface, it appears to be a reasonable way to deal with the developer’s unexpected setback.

NBC? CBS? Sure hope Fox sends that Megyn Kelly. That babe can interview me anytime.” Bud shook his head. “Ain’t much media down there at all.” “Oh. Cops are keepin’ em back, huh?” “Hardly any cops, neither.” Sam had been stamping his feet trying to bring back circulation. Now he paused, looking over at Bud in shock. “No cops?” “Not so’s you’d notice.” “Do they know we took over a federal facility?” “Yup.” “I mean, it’s only a wildlife refuge in the boonies,

but it’s still federal property, ain’t it?” “Yup.” “So that’s treason or somethin’, right?” “You’d think.” “Do they know Cliven Bundy’s sons are out here with us? Do they know we’re supporting local ranchers against federal tyranny?” “They know.” “Do they know we’re armed? Do they know we’re ready to shoot it out? Do they know we’re ready to die — and to take some of them with us?” “Yup, yup and yup.” “And they’re still ignoring us?” “Appears that way.” “H—l,” said Sam. Cold smoke drifted from his mouth. He couldn’t feel his fingers. “H—l,” he said again. “That ain’t fair.” “How do you mean?” Bud stood hunched over, his hands pinned in his armpits. “You think if a bunch of d—n Muslims had took this place over, the cops and the media would be did-

dling around like this? You wouldn’t be able to think for the helicopters buzzing overhead. You’d be blinded by the TV lights. They’d send Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Lester Holt. H—l, even if we was just black, they’d at least send Geraldo Rivera. But a bunch of white men? Nothin’.” “I’m not so sure,” said Bud thoughtfully, “I mean, the media did turn out when ol’ Clive made his stand a couple years ago. He had plenty attention.” “He did, but did you notice how they treated him? They acted like he was just an old kook like your crazy uncle Bubba. He’s out there with a bunch of armed men refusing to recognize federal authority, but they acted like he was … harmless.” Bud nodded. “I see your point,” he said. “I’m tired of bein’ treated like I’m harmless just ‘cause I’m white. White men ain’t harmless. Did you hear about that biker gang shootout in Waco last May? Nine

WWII wives kept home fires burning

When we talk about the “greatest generation,” those individuals who lived through the Second World War, Americans have a tendency to think about the men and women who served in the armed forces and those who worked in war-related industries as personified by the iconic character “Rosie the Riveter.” But I was reminded in the past two weeks that there were millions of American women who also must be included in the “greatest generation” not because they served in the armed forces or in war-related industries, but because they kept America going during the long years of the war by taking sole charge of their families’ welfare and well-being, by serving as both mothers and fathers to their children, to maintaining all of the civic, entertainment, educational and other vital social functions that had been performed by men who were then far away in the theaters of war. I was reminded of this for two reasons. Unfortunately, the first reminder came at the funeral of Jerry Smith; I wrote about the death of her husband, Glee, several weeks ago. Jerry and Glee were married in the middle of the war, in 1943, and I remember their stories of how Jerry coped while Glee served in the Army Air Force. Hearing about a lifetime of her accomplishments at her funeral made me very aware that she had lived an extraordinary life without ever holding political office or running a major company. She held a family together and served her community in multiple ways. She was just as much a member of the “greatest generation” as was her husband, Glee, even though she never served in the military. The efforts of women like Jerry and all those who lived through the war were as critical to our

victory as were those of their husbands. The second reminder of how difficult life was on the home front for these women trying to keep their families together and well came with an unusual find I made at a second-hand store. It is a copy of “The Reporter of the Air Victory Cookbook” published by the Great Bend Daily Tribune for Christmas 1942. It is a collection of what the editor calls “war tested recipes” — i.e. recipes that can be made from ingredients available at a time when so many foods and materials were being diverted to the military from the home front. Just looking at some of the recipes for rabbit stew and vegetable meatloaf bring home just how hard it must have been to feed a family at this time. So I think that we should never forget that the “greatest generation” was not limited to those in the military and war industries but always remember that the women who kept American families going during that war were also equally part of that group. — Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

people dead, twice that many wounded, almost 180 arrests. That sound harmless to you?” Bud shook his head. “I must have missed that,” he said. “See, that’s my point. If 180 Mexican illegals had shot it out, you think you wouldn’t know about it? H—l, it would have been the top news story of the year! The blacks, the Muslims, the Mexicans, they get all the attention they want even when they’re not doin’ nothin’, but guys who look like you and me, we get bupkes. What do we need, bikini girls? For criminy sake, we’re committing armed insurrection against the federal government! Ain’t that enough?” Sam went back to stamping his feet. He found himself wondering idly about the symptoms of hypothermia. “A white man just can’t catch a break,” he muttered. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

PUBLIC FORUM

Governor’s fantasy To the editor: The Dec. 27 headline read: “Governor: Gun laws right; tax plan works.” Our governor lives in a fantasy world of his own making — a world in which there is no doubt allowed and no questioning of choices previously made. Nor is anyone else in state government allowed to question his judgments. Governor Sam is becoming more and more isolated from the people he serves (or is supposed to serve). He is more and more locked into a Rush Limbaugh/Glenn Beck view of the world we live in and the people we live with. No budget problems? No health care problems? All goes well in the state of Kansas? You’ve gotta be kidding, Guv! Artie Shaw, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 6, 1916: “Men students of the University registered an almost unanimous protest years against the 12 o’clock closing rule for ago University parties which was passed IN 1916 recently by the University senate at the recommendation of Mrs. Eustace Brown, in a meeting called by the advisor of women to determine the sentiment of the men upon the question. The presidents of all the men’s organizations in the University attended the meeting and with one exception they all voted for a resolution asking that the senate either repeal the rule as it stands upon the books and allow dances to continue until 1 o’clock on Friday night or, if unable to do this, that they at least refer the matter to a vote of the student body. … ‘I do not believe that it is not safe to have the women of the University out late at night with its men,’ she (Mrs. Brown) said, ‘but I am expressing my honest conviction when I say that I believe all ordinary parties should close at midnight and that the women will be better off if they go home earlier and get more sleep.’” “A crowd of University and townspeople who packed the chapel in Fraser hall, heard Henry L. Southwick of Boston, lecture on Shakespeare’s great tragedy, King Richard the III, and read parts of it, at 4:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

ed for Kansas schools and support for giving parents tax-funded “vouchers” they could use at private schools. The report said federal education requirements are enough of a “burden” that the state ought to weigh the costs against the benefits of taking federal education funds. The state received $510 million for its public schools for 2014-15, about $1,100 per student, or 8.4 percent of the total $13,124 spent per pupil. “The report was very partisan and didn’t include a lot of information,” said Rep. Ed Trimmer, of Winfield, one of three Democrats on the committee. “I think it was very anti-public education.” The report said the state’s previous, per-student aid formula “hasn’t produced the necessary and desired results” for improving students’ academic performance. GOP legislators repealed the old formula last year, replac-

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The committee’s chairman, Republican Rep. Ron Highland, of Wamego, said he wrote the report to reflect the panel’s overall views. The report says public schools aren’t adequately preparing enough students for the future or spending taxpayer dollars efficiently enough — arguments commonly made by GOP conservatives who control the Legislature. “We are trying to promote change to get our public education system and the funding process into the 21st Century,” said Sen. Molly Baumgardner, a conservative Louisburg Republican. But Rep. Melissa Rooker, a moderate Fairway Republican, said the report includes “black helicopter stuff” reflecting distrust of the federal government, opposition to multistate academic standards adopt-

ing it with “block grants” for districts under a law set to expire in July 2017. The committee tabled the draft report and asked the Legislature’s nonpartisan research staff to rewrite it to incorporate additional material gleaned from public hearings. The decision put off a potentially contentious debate on the report’s recommendations until at least later this month. The draft report said school funding “needs to be redesigned to focus on the individual student,” without going into more detail. Rooker saw that line as support for vouchers. The report also said the state’s current regimen of annual standardized tests for students has “little value” and encourages “teaching to the test.” It suggested having the state pay for all high school students to take the ACT college entrance exam and said Kansas should considering other testing.

U.S. to bring more foreign workers Critics say visa rule allows ‘captive’ labor Erin Kelly USA TODAY

WASHINGTON U.S. employers will soon begin bringing in thousands more low-skilled foreign workers to fill seasonal jobs ranging from ski lift operators to crab pickers. Critics said a newly expanded visa program — approved by Congress last month as part of a massive spending bill — will exploit foreign workers, take jobs from Americans and hold down wages. “What business owners are trying to get here is captive work-

ers — people who are desperate and won’t complain no matter how they are treated,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which wants to reduce immigration to the USA. “They’re importing a servile class. There’s no excuse for this.” Supporters of the bigger H-2B visa program said it will help U.S. businesses hire enough people to do the temporary work that is vital for companies to meet consumer demand during peak seasons, whether it’s summer at a beach resort or spring at a gardening company. The “seasonal” work can last as long as 10 months at a time. “Our members’ businesses are now spared the devastating hit

they would have faced this spring without the availability of H-2B workers,” said Sabeena Hickman, CEO of the National Association of Landscape Professionals. “Landscape professionals will be able to hire needed seasonal workers, support their American workforce and provide their cus-

tomers with the continued service that they rely on.” The seasonal worker provision, sought by a coalition of industry groups that includes hotels, restaurants, resorts, construction companies and seafood processors, allows U.S. companies to bring in far more than the 66,000 workers a year that have been permitted to obtain visas in the past. The H-2B visa program does not include farmworkers. House Speaker Paul Ryan, RWis., said opponents are exaggerating the impact of the legislation. He points to an estimate by the Congressional Budget Office that the bill will bring in an additional 8,000 seasonal workers in 2016, at a cost of about $1 million in extra health care costs.

Chris Christie, on the rise in N.H., aims at Trump and Cruz MANCHESTER , N. H . New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, his fortunes rising in New Hampshire, says angry voters are ready to take a second and more skeptical look at Republican rivals such as Donald Trump and Ted Cruz as the opening presidential primaries approach. “Things that might seem unpresidential in January are entertaining (last) July, right?” Christie said in an interview with Capital Download as he prepared to hold his 46th town hall in the Granite State. “What happens is people really start to focus on picking a president and I think that will lead to some potential changes in the way things are operating.”

That could be wishful thinking. National polls show no erosion in Trump’s double-digit lead over Texas Sen. Cruz, who is in second place. But the combative New Jersey governor now is in striking distance of leading the establishment field in New Hampshire — where he said he hopes a secondplace finish to Trump could set an outsider-vs.-insider showdown down the road. Christie warns that nominating an “entertainer-in-chief” (that would be Trump, among

the White House in November. So would a third-party bid divide the GOP? “A third-party candidacy, if it’s one of the people who’s currently on the stage, yeah, I think that would probably lead to a loss by the Republican Party” in the general election, he told USA TO-

DAY’s weekly video newsmaker series Monday. “There are no silver medals in this business — you lose, you go home — so we need to be focused on that,” Christie went on. He called for the party to unite on “common themes, all geared towards defeating Hillary Clinton in the fall, which is what I think we have to be focused on.” Christie argues that senators lack the executive experience that presidents need. So does Trump. “Listen, I think it’s much, much harder — as Barack Obama has shown — when you have no experience in the executive branch of government to come in and run the most complex, difficult executive branch the world’s ever seen,” he says. Trump may not fully understand that, he adds. “I would just tell you that I think government always looks easier from the outside.”

Republican hopefuls attack Obama’s gun plan David Jackson USA TODAY

Republican presidential candidates quickly denounced President Obama’s gun announcement Tuesday, saying his plans undercut the Second Amendment and stretch the limits of executive power. “It’s part of a broader narrative,” Florida Sen. Marco Rubio told Fox News. “And that is that this president is obsessed with undermining the Constitution in

general, but the Second Amendment in particular.” Former Florida governor Jeb Bush said Obama’s call for enhanced background checks and other new restrictions “shows an utter disregard for the Second Amendment as well as the proper constitutional process for making laws in our nation.” In his remarks at the White House, Obama said he supports the constitutional right to bear arms. The president said the Republican candidates, in concert with the National Rifle Associa-

tion and other members of the “gun lobby,” have distorted his plans, and that his proposals do not represent a “slippery slope” toward mass confiscation of firearms. “This is not a plot to take away everybody’s guns,” Obama said. Gun rights always are a big issue in Republican primary contests, including the current one. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, campaigning in Iowa, repeated his pledged to rescind Obama executive orders on gun control, saying that “when you live by the pen,

you die by the pen.” Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee called Obama’s announcement a “blatant, belligerent abuse of power,” and said that “I will never bow down and surrender to Obama’s unconstitutional, radical, anti-gun agenda.” Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson tweeted that Obama’s “actions have everything to do with advancing his political agenda & little to do with actually protecting American citizens.” Democratic presidential candidates, meanwhile, voiced support

for the president’s actions. The party’s front-runner, Hillary Clinton, tweeted that Obama had taken “a crucial step forward on gun violence,” and his successor “has to build on that progress — not rip it away.” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders also endorsed the Obama plan, saying in a statement that “a vast majority of the American people, including responsible gun owners who are sickened by the deaths of so many innocent people, agree with the common sense reforms announced today.”

dealers. Though the goal is to review the operations of federal licensees every three to five years, “there are numbers of licensees that have not been seen in more than five years,” said Ed Courtney, chief of the ATF’s Firearms Industry Branch. “We are spending more time putting more people in business than inspecting (licensees),” Courtney said. In 2014, according to records, the ATF conducted 12,404 firearm license application reviews, while compliance inspections numbered 10,429. There were a total of 140,446 licensees in 2014, including 55,512 individual firearm dealers. The Obama administration, as part of a series of executive actions announced Tuesday to combat gun violence, is attempting to push more private firearm dealers to obtain federal licenses, so buyers would be required to submit to criminal background checks. Such checks are required on all purchases from licensed dealers, while many private transfers on the Internet and at gun shows have not been subject to that level of scrutiny. President Obama called for the addition of 200 ATF investigators and 230 examiners for the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to help process background reviews of gun buyers more efficiently. Former ATF officials welcomed the proposal for an infusion of additional investigators, but they said compliance inspections of licensees have lagged over the years as the agency’s budget for personnel and resources has remained largely flat for almost a decade. When Michael Sullivan took over as the ATF’s acting director in 2006, he said some dealers had not been inspected in more than 10 years. The lapse prompted a reinvigorated inspection system as the agency sought to stop the flow of guns from the USA to drug trafficking operations in Mexico. “The (uneven inspection system) was tremendously unfair to the ATF and to firearm dealers because many want to do the right thing,” Sullivan said. He described the plan to add 200 investigators to the ATF — a proposal that must be approved by Congress — as a potentially “huge benefit.” Others said many more investigators were needed to put the agency on firmer footing. “It is fact that thousands of firearms licensees are never inspected, never,” said Ben Hayes, a former ATF official who oversaw parts of the ATF’s National Tracing Center for more than a decade. “The president’s new

STIRRING WORDS FOR SMALLEST VICTIMS Emotional Obama unveils actions Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

President Obama announced a series of executive actions on guns Tuesday, focusing on the victims of gun violence in a White House event intended to prod Congress to take further action. Speaking to an East Room audience packed with the families of gun violence victims, gun owners and gun control advocates, an often emotional Obama broke into tears when talking about the 20 first-graders gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut three years ago. “First-graders,” he said, pausing to wipe away tears and compose himself. “Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad.” The executive actions — first previewed by the White House on Monday — would attempt to clamp down on unlicensed gun sellers who exploit an exception for hobbyists and collectors in WASHINGTON

“Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad,” President Obama said about the Sandy Hook victims. order to avoid having to run criminal background checks on gun purchasers. Many of those sellers, Obama said, are running a business by selling guns at gun shows and online. “The problem is that some gun sellers have been operating by a different set of rules,” he said. Obama said the administration is also beefing up enforcement, streamlining the background check system, investing $500 million in mental health care and researching “smart gun” technology. “If a child can’t open a bottle of aspirin, we should make sure they can’t pull a trigger on a gun,” he said. Obama said the actions he’s taking are consistent with gun rights. “I believe in the Second

Amendment. ... No matter how much people try to twist my words around, I taught constitutional law. I know a little bit about this. I get it,” he said. “This is not a plot to take away everybody’s guns.” But Obama argued that just like the First Amendment doesn’t allow someone to yell “fire” in a crowded theater, there are common-sense measures that could keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them. And he argued that Second Amendment rights shouldn’t infringe on the rights of people to safely worship in Christian churches, Jewish synagogues, Sikh temples and Muslim mosques — all of which have been targets of gun violence in recent years. “They had rights, too,” he said. for the government, which in the early 1990s sought to discourage those who wanted to obtain licenses for legal cover to engage in interstate gun purchases. To cut down on such commerce, the government raised license fees from as little as $10 and $25 to a fee that stands at $200. The fee changes, former ATF officials said, contributed to a dramatic decline in the number of individual dealer licensees from 213,734 in 1994 to about 50,000 in 2007. “There was always this tension over whether someone should be licensed or not,” former ATF director Bradley Buckles said, adding that federal authorities sought to better ensure that the universe of licensees did not overtax the agency’s capacity to conduct compliance inspections. “The resources available to conduct compliance inspections always has been an issue,” Buckles said. Though the number of federal licensees (dealers, manufacturers

and importers) in the USA declined slightly in 2015, from 140,446 in 2014 to 138,659, Courtney said the agency has been processing a steady stream of new applications — up to 10,000 — each year throughout the USA. About 99% of those applications are approved within 60 days of receipt. The number of new licensees is offset each year by thousands of other dealers who leave the business or allow their licenses to expire. Last year, about 6,000 dealers went out of business, Courtney said. The overall number of dealers has remained fairly flat since 2013, after surging from 124,946 in 2011. The period of accelerated growth included the aftermath of the Newtown, Conn., elementary school massacre in 2012 and subsequent federal gun control proposals that prompted record gun sales in the USA. The administration’s major proposals, including universal background checks, languished in Congress. Corrections & Clarifications

Oregon standoff: ‘We will not back down’ Gordon Friedman

(Salem, Ore.) Statesman Journal

and John Bacon USA TODAY

BURNS , ORE .

The armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge stretched into a fourth day Tuesday with no end in sight to the conflict that started as a peaceful protest in support of two local ranchers sent to prison for setting fires on federal land. Occupation leader Ammon Bundy reiterated Tuesday that he and his band of about a dozen people won’t leave until Dwight and Steven Hammond are freed from federal prison. He also wants federally owned land in Harney County returned to the people who live here, saying his

group was sifting through property records to find instances of federal officials seizing land from private owners. “Thomas Paine said, ‘It is the duty of the patriot to protect its country from its government,’ ” Bundy tweeted Tuesday. He added, “We will not back down.” Later Tuesday, Bundy’s Twitter account was suspended. Gov. Kate Brown said in a statement Tuesday that the safety of residents was first and foremost to authorities. “My top priority is the safety of the people of Harney County and the City of Burns,” she said. Bundy’s militia — Citizens for Constitutional Freedom — seized a Bureau of Land Management bunkhouse Saturday. He says the Hammonds were victims of ag-

organized crime cases. He noted that the trial judge declined to sentence the Hammonds to the mandatory five-year sentence. A federal appeals court overruled the judge, and the father and son returned to prison Monday. “The question is whether they should have been charged under that statute,” Sali said. Ladonna Baron, co-owner of Country Lane Quilts, said the occupation has divided the community. Some residents agree with the militia’s tactics, or even want to join, while others think it’s a farce. “We support our community,” Baron said. “Personally, I feel what happened to the Hammonds was an injustice. But the militia is here on their own agenda.” She added that if there was something to tell the militia, it’s “go away.”

Carson, Fiorina fading Paul Singer USA TODAY

2016 begins with some outsider candidates finding themselves out of the picture in USA TODAY’s weekly GOP Power Rankings. This week, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina tallied their worst scores since we started this survey Sept. 1, asking 30 political experts who is the strongest candidate GOP in the GOP field. POWER RANKINGS Carson is still in WEEK 19 sixth place, as he was last week, but the gap between him and Jeb Bush in fifth place has grown from a sliver to gulf. Carson’s point total is closer to Rick Santorum’s in 11th place than Donald Trump’s in first. As the campaigns ramp up in the sprint to the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primaries, the GOP field appears to have separated into two categories: five serious contenders and a bunch of long shots.

Kuwait became the latest ally of Saudi Arabia to scale back its diplomatic ties with Iran, recalling its ambassador from Tehran on Tuesday. It came a day after Bahrain and Sudan said they were severing diplomatic ties with Iran. Saudi Arabia announced it was cutting ties with Tehran on Sunday after Iranian protesters set fires at the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and targeted its consulate in Mashhad. Those attacks followed the Saudi execution of Sheik Nimr al-Nimr, a prominent Shiite cleric whose death sparked an outcry across much of the Shiite Muslim world. In a statement on his website Tuesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Saudi Arabia “cannot cover its crime” in executing al-Nimr by severing ties with his country. He said the Saudi government “has taken a strange action and cut off its diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran to cover its crimes ... undoubtedly, such actions can’t cover up that big crime.”

Rouhani previously expressed outrage at the attack on the embassy, calling it an “ugly act” and promising legal action against those involved. More than 40 people have been arrested in connection with the incident. Al-Nimr, a Saudi and beloved cleric among Shiite Muslims who made his mark during the Arab Spring protests, was among 47 people executed Saturday by Sunni-led Saudi Arabia. Most of those killed were Sunnis linked to al-

He was accused of “seeking foreign meddling” and taking up arms against Saudi Arabia. Kuwait has a Sunni majority but also a large Shiite population. The United Arab Emirates also has downgraded diplomatic ties with Iran, which is dominated by Shiites.

Energy prices, down 5.9% on the year, were the cause for low inflation, which remains well below the European Central Bank’s target of just under 2%. SPIRIT SHARES UP AFTER NEW CEO ANNOUNCED Spirit Airlines said Tuesday it has named Robert Fornaro, a longtime airline executive who once helmed AirTran, as its new president and CEO. Fornaro will replace Ben Baldanza, a flashy and impassioned champion of Spirit’s no-frills style who steered the carrier to profits, then oversaw a rapid expansion into rivals’ territory that may have helped undermine its financial performance. Investors seemed pleased with the move. Spirit’s shares closed up 5.9% at $41.50.

uTristan Evarts graduated high school two years ago and skipped college, with the goal to do something about distracted driving. He started the Smart Wheel company to sell just that — a device that goes over your driving wheel and alerts you when you do something stupid, such as text or grapple with a hamburger wrapper while driving. “Technology can be part of the problem and part of the solution,” says Evarts, 20. “My dream is to have this technology in every car in America.”

Automakers posted a solid 9% sales gain in December, an exclamation point that sealed 2015 as the biggest sales year ever for the industry, they reported Tuesday. All told, automakers sold 17.47 million vehicles for the year, Autodata reported, besting what Kelley Blue Book reported as the previous record, 17.35 million in 2000. Low gas prices, cheap credit, low unemployment, soaring consumer confidence and warm weather fueled a rush into showrooms in December. “The U.S. economy continues to expand, and the most important factors that drive demand for new vehicles are in place, so we expect to see a second consecutive year of record industry sales in 2016,” said Mustafa Mohatarem, GM’s chief economist, in a statement. Still, sales success for individual automakers presented a mixed bag. Detroit’s Big 3 fared well for December and the year.

General Motors had a 5.7% sales increase in December, Ford Motor saw an 8.3% boost and Fiat Chrysler sales rose 12.6%, according to Autodata. Tesla Motors doubled sales during the month and sold 23,650 of its luxury electric cars in the U.S. for the year. Among Asian makers, Toyota saw a 10.3% increase for the month, Honda was at 9.9% and Nissan at 8.7%. But for the full year, they came in lower, with Toyota posting a 5.3% increase. One laggard was German automaker Volkswagen Group, which

still cannot sell diesel vehicles amid an emissions scandal, down 3.4% overall. The automaker’s Volkswagen brand sales fell 9.1% in December and 4.8% for the year. The company’s Audi luxury brand, which has felt a smaller impact from the scandal, achieved a 6% gain in December and 11.1% for the year. Another loser for the month was Hyundai, saddled with a car-heavy lineup during the SUV surge, down 1.5%. Consumers continued their exodus from less-lucrative cars into crossovers, sport-utility vehicles and pickups amid low gasoline prices. At 13.9% market share, the small SUV segment is now the largest category of vehicles in the U.S., trailed by small cars and midsize cars at 13.7% apiece, according to Kelley Blue Book. “There’s no end in sight to those trends,” AutoTrader.com analyst Michelle Krebs said. Crossovers such as the Toyota RAV4, the Nissan Rogue and the Jeep Renegade delivered a robust showing in December. The Ford F-Series pickup, the most popular vehicle in the U.S., rose 14.6% in December.

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

The tough start to 2016 on Wall Street has been all about China. But starting Wednesday the focus of investors may shift away from the troubles of the world’s second-largest economy to fresh information on the key drivers of the U.S. stock market and economy: interest-rate policy, jobs and corporate profits. There’s no question China, with its slowing economy and volatile stock market, presents a risk to U.S. investors. But as Chinese authorities move yet again to support markets and signs of stability emerge, Wall Street will again be driven by what’s happening in the homeland. From a financial perspective, fresh clues about where the U.S.

Wall Street hopes the minutes will shed more light on the Fed’s decision to raise interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade. Investors will be looking for clues about the pace of coming hikes. Wednesday’s undercard includes a fresh reading on jobs (payroll processor ADP releases its December payroll count from private employers) and an ISM report on the December health of the nation’s services sector. The next big data point comes Friday, when the government releases the number of new jobs created in December and unemployment rate. After that, it’s all about earnings when aluminum maker Alcoa kicks off profitreporting season Jan. 10.

Analysts bearish on Blaze but find stock attractive Q: Is Fitbit’s new watch a reason to buy? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Fitbit on Tuesday took the wraps off a device that is more of a watch than a fitness tracker. Investors seemed more concerned than pleased, but that could be an opportunity. Fitbit, the current leader in the wearable technology category, announced its Blaze smartwatch. The Blaze is designed to let users track exercise, as is customary with most Fitbit devices. But the Blaze is also more like a traditional watch and is largely seen as the company’s way to fend off incursions by Apple’s timepiece. Investors pummeled Fitbit’s stock on news of the new product, sending shares down more than $5 a share, or 18%, to roughly $24 a share. It’s just the latest beatdown for the stock, which has lost about half its value since hitting its peak in August. Investors are worried that Fitbit’s move signals a saturation of its core fitness tracking product line and now puts the small company in direct competition with Apple. Analysts remain bullish on the stock. Fitbit shares are given an average “outperform” rating, S&P Capital IQ says, and the stock is expected to be worth $48.12 a share in 18 months. If the company’s cash flow also materializes, it could be compelling. New Constructs rates the stock “attractive.”

Investors sweating as Apple teeters above $100 a share Investors hoping the Apple stock implosion would end this year are now clinging to what’s left of the triple-digit stock price. Shares of the gadget maker closed down another 2.5%, or $2.64, Tuesday to $102.71. The once-hot stock is now careering toward the $100-a-share level — a price threshold bulls are hoping will finally hold. Apple’s stock hasn’t closed below $100 since late October 2014. With shares trading at $102.71,

Once a holding stock investors used to brag about, the shares are down 2.2% already this year coming off a 4.6% decline in 2015. Fanning the stock’s decline Tuesday was a report in Japan’s Nikkei Asian Review that Apple plans to cut the production output of its iPhone by 30% in the first quarter of 2016, reports Bloomberg. That only fuels intensifying concern as demand for smartphones continues to mature, making growth much more

difficult. A difficult smartphone market is bad news for Apple since it relies on the business for a majority of its profit. Apple also counts on charging $650 for smartphones, which drives high profit margins especially in the hardware industry, where prices generally fall over time. Meanwhile, new products and services designed to diversify the company’s revenue, such as Apple Music, Apple Pay and the Apple Watch, have failed to catch on with consumers. Apple bulls are hopeful the company will report sales traction with some of these new products and services when

the company reports first-quarter results at the end of this month. All told, Apple investors are suffering epic losses as the overenthusiasm for the stock turns into disappointment. Remember all the talk about Apple being the first $1 trillion company? Now, the stock is headed in the other direction — and fast. More than $176 billion in shareholder wealth has been destroyed since the stock hit its high of $134.54 on April 28, 2015. Apple’s market value is now $573 billion. Rather than wondering how high Apple’s stock can go, the focus now is how low it can drop.

That was a good word to use, better than Eight Bad Guys,” Tarantino says with a laugh. “Some might be more likable than others.” But the filmmaker has a history of those kinds of personas in all his movies, says Walton Goggins, who was in Tarantino’s Django Unchained and is also in Hateful Eight — “people on the fringes of society or who live these alternative lifestyles or who find themselves in situations based on their karmic actions.” It’s an especially touchy crew Tarantino has in his new film: a couple of post-Civil War bounty hunters in Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson) and John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell); vicious fugitive Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason

Leigh); soon-to-be sheriff Chris Mannix ( Goggins); the seemingly helpful Mexican Bob (Demián Bichir); chatty executioner Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth); elderly Southern general Sanford Smithers (Bruce Dern); and a guy known for punching cows, Joe Gage (Michael Madsen). There is no moral center, and all of them have at the very least done some questionable things — which means you can’t really trust any of them. “People tell you what they did and who they are, but you don’t know if that’s true or not,” Tarantino says. “I didn’t want you to have any sure-footed knowledge

about any of the characters and let them hash it out and just deal with it that way.” The Hateful Eight resembles the group setting of the filmmaker’s first movie, 1992’s Reservoir Dogs, which is pretty much packed to the limit with criminals. In Pulp Fiction (1994), Jackson’s Jules Winnfield is a hitman who spouts Bible verses and wrestles with his place in the universe. And the American World War II soldiers of 2009’s Inglourious Basterds scalp and kill captured Nazis and plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in the coldest blood possible.

LOS ANGELES American Idol hopes to go out on a high note. Fox’s one-time ratings juggernaut and pop-culture force that launched superstars heads into its final season Wednesday (8 p.m. ET/PT) as sharply declining ratings claim a show that once seemed as if it might go on forever. Judges Harry Connick Jr., Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban, and host Ryan Seacrest, are searching for the 15th American Idol, but they know the end is coming. “All of us (realize) this is the last time we’ll do each one of these episodes,” Seacrest says. “This year, I want to make sure I am present and enjoying every single aspect of what makes this show great.” With a shorter schedule ending in April, the 15th season will mix

“They’re human beings. There’s 360 degrees to them. There’s bad sides, good sides,” Russell says. “The flow of the storytelling comes from his character behavior and getting to know these people and getting to care about them.” What makes The Hateful Eight cool for Jackson is how the movie’s large cast of characters engage in an enclosed, increasingly volatile environment, which emphasizes Tarantino’s ability “to write for all kinds of people, create all these diverse characters and make all those things work for us.” In fact, the paranoia and distrust among these characters is so strong that “it just bounced off the walls of the shelter until it had nowhere else to go but through the fourth wall into the audience,” Tarantino says. “And that’s what I was going for.”

Judges Keith Urban, left, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. are back on deck for the final season of Fox’s American Idol. Idol’s past and present, starting with winners and stars from earlier seasons — Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Taylor Hicks, Kris Allen, Lee DeWyze and Nick Fradiani — advising singers at early auditions. The original three judges — Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson — are expected back, too. Executive producer Trish Ki-

nane won’t confirm who among Idol’s stars will return — inaugural winner Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, Jordin Sparks, Chris Daughtry, Adam Lambert? — but says, “Everybody we’ve spoken to (is) really positive about being part of this farewell season.” That list is Idol’s legacy, Connick says.

“The people who have come through the ranks of American Idol are so numerous and diverse, from Grammy winners to Oscar winners to people on Broadway,” he says. “I don’t think there’s any show that comes this close in terms of success rate.” Although the series hasn’t produced a superstar in some years, the judges say the new crop could have what it takes. “I think we have a couple of stars, (but) they have to prove over time that they’re a star with their performances, their consistency, how they handle pressure,” Lopez says. “The girls really stand out. If we could have, we probably would have had 20 girls in the top 24.” Although Idol is now less popular than NBC’s knockoff The Voice, its core appeal remains. “It’s a Cinderella story. For someone like me, it’s the American Dream,” Australian Urban says. “You can come from a little nowhere town with no connections, no money, no nothing — just raw talent and drive and ambition. And you can make it. That’s what Idol offers and people still want to believe in that.”

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Ellis has much more to give It’s not often that the word potential is used in discussions of one of the most experienced players in college basketball, but it fits in the case of Kansas University senior Perry Ellis. His first-half scoring binge during Monday’s 109106, triple-overtime victory over Oklahoma hinted that the best performances of his standout career are on deck. Ellis looked so confident, so quick, so undeterred by long arms blocking his path to points that it was easy to project multiple 30-point outbursts when needed down the home stretch of his four-year stay at Kansas. His hot stretch started in the middle of the first half and spanned exactly twoand-a-half minutes of game clock. During that stretch, Ellis scored nine points, snagged two defensive rebounds, had a beautiful assist and stretched KU’s lead from one point to eight. During it, he showcased his quickness, soft shooting touch from close, mid-range and deep, a tight handle, strong footwork and underrated jumping ability. Three words summed up his flurry: Hard to guard. The binge started when Ellis buried a guarded 18-footer with 12:24 left in the half, 47:24 left in the game. Thirty-one seconds later, he threw in a soft hook shot over the long arms of 7-footer Akolda Manyang. Nineteen seconds later, he swished a three-pointer. Fifty seconds after that, Ellis busted an ultra-quick spin move in the lane, sucking all the defenders near the basket toward him and leaving Carlton Bragg all alone on the block. Ellis hit him and Bragg hit the shot. Ellis’ final bucket of the outburst came when he rose above the traffic in the lane and hit a mid-range jumper. He showed so much in such little time. Ellis also played a major role in trimming a nine-point deficit to three midway through the second half, had a pair of big buckets in the final 1:23 of regulation and scored five points in the first overtime, his three-pointer with 1:18 left knotting the score at 86-86. Ellis’ first double-double of the season and 13th of his career featured 27 points and 13 rebounds. He reached a career high in minutes (53) and field goals attempted (28). “Heart,” Ellis said, summing up the victory. “All of us together. It was going either way and we just kept fighting.” Self appreciated how much time Ellis spent near the basket. “He just missed some shots,” Self said. “But he played great. He played tough, too.” Expect the missed shots to decrease and the points to increase the rest of the way.

Greatest ever?

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD LANDEN LUCAS (33) WRESTLES AWAY A BALL from Oklahoma guard Jordan Woodard (10) and tosses it to Kansas guard Devonte’ Graham (4) late in the third overtime of the Jayhawks’ 109-106 three-OT win Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.

How does KU’s 109-106 win compare? By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

In all, 845 Kansas University men’s basketball games have been played in Allen Fieldhouse since the building’s dedication in 1955. The best game in 62 seasons just might have been the last game — Monday’s 109106 three-overtime decision over Oklahoma, which has been compared to other KU classics such as an 87-86 OT win over Missouri in 2012, 150-95 victory over Kentucky in 1989 and 90-86 decision over Kevin Durant and Texas in 2007 as well as more than a few other dandies. “(It was the) best regular season game I have EVER been part of,” ESPN’s Dick Vitale Tweeted on Tuesday — day after the first threeOT game in Allen history.

“It was the LOUDEST I have ever heard an arena,” the 76-year-old Vitale, who has been broadcasting games for 38 years, added in another Tweet, noting, “I am being flooded with messages and Tweets about that classic.” KU coach Bill Self was asked to compare KU-OU to KU-Mizzou on Tuesday night on his Hawk Talk radio show. “I think we actually played better last night than we did against Missouri,” Self said. “We got down 20 and were so tight against Missouri. Even though the end result was great, I think it was more a grind throughout the entire game. I thought last night was a little better played and last night was more a respectful game where the first game (vs. MU) was more a hatredtype game. We (Jayhawks-

Tigers) don’t care much for each other. “I don’t know which was better,” Self added. “They were both just fabulous basketball games.” Self said the “best played game” KU has had in his 13 seasons, “without question was Oklahoma State in 2005 (KU’s 81-79 victory in Allen). I don’t know if you remember, but Wayne (Simien, 32 points, 12 rebounds) went nuts. We ended up winning at the buzzer. We shot 66 percent. They shot (58.5 percent). We couldn’t guard each other. “It was an epic game. John Lucas was 9-for-11 from the field. The last shot he took he missed that would have won the game for them. It was for the Big 12 championship. Although last night’s game happened so early in the confer-

ence season, you could make a case it didn’t have as much meaning. You couldn’t make that case with any of the kids who participated in it,” Self added. KU’s Frank Mason III and Perry Ellis played 53 minutes apiece Monday, while Devonté Graham logged 46 and Wayne Selden Jr., 43 minutes. “The guy who should be exhausted is Frank,” Self said. “He face-guarded that dude (OU’s Buddy Hield, 46 points) for 35 minutes and in 35 minutes limited him to 11 shots. Unfortunately he made eight of ‘em. “Frank ... the defense and heart he showed guarding Buddy was remarkable,” Self added. “He suffered at the other end. He went 1-for-11 Please see HOOPS, page 3C

Lawrence boys whip Pioneers, 63-42 By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Leavenworth — Lawrence High senior point guard Justin Roberts thought he was going to face a defense geared to stop him on Tuesday. After averaging 22.2 points per game before winter break, LHS coaches told Roberts there was a possibility he could face a boxand-one zone or any other type of gimmicky defense that tries to keep the ball out of his hands. Instead, Leavenworth played its regular 2-3 zone defense, and Roberts took full advantage by scoring 17 points in the first quarter in a 63-42 victory at Leavenworth. Roberts drilled five threepointers and drove to the — Tom Keegan appears rim for a layup in those first on The Drive, Sunday eight minutes, leading the nights on WIBW-TV. Lions to a 26-14 advantage.

“I just tried to play my game,” said Roberts, who finished with a game-high 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting. “I’m not trying to do anything crazy or anything fancy. If I’m open, I’m shooting the ball — otherwise I’m looking for my teammates. As a point guard, that’s what I have to do.” The Lions (6-1, ranked No. 5 in Class 6A) frustrated Leavenworth’s defense with their ability to score in the paint and beyond the arc. With Roberts draining triples, 6-foot-5 senior forward Fred Brou scored six points in the opening period, receiving crisp passes from 6-4 senior forward Price Morgan. In the final four minutes of the first quarter, the Lions went on a 16-4 run, scoring on their final seven possessions. “Our goal was to come out and set the tone and I thought we did a nice job

with that,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said. “Coming right out of the holiday break, sometimes you can come out and be a little bit flat. I thought we played with good pace and just a good momentum and good vibe that first half.” Morgan added: “We can be a pretty dangerous team. Everybody was hitting shots, getting boards, running well. We got a little impatient when they went to the zone at first, but we figured it out. It was a pretty good quarter.” With a height advantage in the post, Brou and Morgan used their size and athleticism to grab rebounds and make layups. Morgan scored seven of his team’s 13 points in the second quarter with a pair of putbacks and Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo drives that earned trips to LHS SENIOR FRED BROU (21) DUNKS AGAINST the free throw line.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE COMING EAST

Griffey may approach 100 percent in Hall vote New York (ap) — Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and other tainted stars of the Steroids Era appear likely to get a boost in Hall of Fame balloting, but not enough to enter Cooperstown this year. Ken Griffey Jr. seems assured of election on the first try today, possibly with a record vote of close to 100 percent. Mike Piazza, Jeff Bagwell and Tim Raines also were strong candidates to gain the 75 percent needed for baseball’s highest honor. Following the elimination of about 100 retired baseball writers from the electorate, Bonds and Clemens were on track for a 5-10 percentage point increase. After drawing about 37 percent of the ballots last year, they were in the 48 percent range this year according to www.bbhoftracker.com, which tabulated public votes adding to more than onethird of the total. Last July, the Hall’s board of directors cut eligible voters from approximately 575 to roughly 475 by purging writers who had not been covering the game for more than a decade. Previously, the electorate included people who had been active members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America for 10 consecutive years at any point. “We have a somewhat different electorate,” John Thorn, Major League Baseball’s official historian, said Tuesday. “I think possibly the current electorate was not content to keep kicking the PED crowd down into a hole and leaving the Hall of Fame with a crater in its plaque room.” Marc Maturo, a reporter covering New York baseball for Gannett in the 1970s and ‘80s, was among those who lost voting rights. He said he would have voted for Bonds, Clemens, Griffey and Raines. “The whole process I think was done too quickly, wasn’t given enough thought,” he said. Now a writer for the weekly Rockland County Times, Maturo pointed out players who received one or two votes in recent years, such as Armando Benitez, Aaron Boone, Bret Boone, Darin Erstad, Kenny Rogers, J.T. Snow and B.J. Surhoff. “They call these courtesy votes or friendship votes,” he said, “That should eliminate you. They’re not Hall of Famers by anyone’s imagination. But people vote for them. To me, that’s wrong.” A 13-time All-Star who is sixth with 630 homers, Griffey was a lock to be inducted at Cooperstown on July 24. The former Cincinnati and Seattle star appeared on all 166 ballots counted by bbhoftracker and could challenge the record of 98.84 percent set by Tom Seaver when he was picked by 425 of 430 voters in 1992. Piazza was at about 87 percent in his fourth appearance after falling short by 28 votes last year, when Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz and Craig Biggio became the first quartet elected by the BBWAA in one year since 1955.

We may practice tomorrow but I guarantee you Perry, Wayne, Devonté and Frank won’t. We may have them shoot a little bit. We’ll give those guys two days and hit it hard Thursday (in preparation for Saturday’s game at Texas Tech),” he added. “We need to get our legs underneath us. If we get too giddy about this, we won’t be emotionally right the next game we play.” l

Class act: KU’s fans have been praised for giving Hield a standing ovation after his postgame interview with ESPN. “What’s so cool is people can’t know this place (Allen) until they experience it,” Self said. “It’s little things like that. They started cheering for the other team’s player after he dropped 46 on us because they appreciate what good ball is. People in the area ... there’s so much history and tradition, it’s so generational. People do enjoy players that play the right way, play hard and compete hard. “They got a chance to be treated last night. I would think it was one of the most fun games for a Kansas fan. You got to see an unbelievable win and greatness (from Hield) at the same time.” l

Strategy: The Jayhawks elected not to foul with a three-point lead and OU holding the ball with 8.6 ticks left in the third OT. It worked out well as OU’s Hield missed a last-second three. “It was a weird deal because Perry knocked the ball away from (Ryan) Spangler and Frank took a step to go to the ball.

If there’s 8.6 left ... if the guys make a mistake and foul with 6.2 before they get in the scoring area, now you have a situation you can lose the game. Make two free throws, they foul immediately, they’ve still got five seconds to get the ball up court. I thought there was a little too much time.” Also ... “the best teams we’ve had, we’ve always asked them (players), ‘Do you want to foul or guard?’ It’s what I asked ‘em. Of course they said, ‘Coach let’s guard them.’’’ l

TV ratings: According to ESPN, the KU-OU game had an overnight rating of 1.9, making it the highest-rated Big 12 Big Monday game on record since the network started keeping track in 2002. The J-W’s Matt Tait reported Tuesday that, according to Nielsen, which keeps track of the ratings, there are 123.2 million viewing households in the United States. When it is said the game received an overnight rating of 1.9, that means that 1.9 percent of 123.2 million — or roughly 2.34 million — households watched the game.

Leavenworth thumps LHS By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Leavenworth — Playing in their first game in 18 days, Lawrence High girls basketball players didn’t have any chance to ease back onto the court. Against Leavenworth, the two-time Class 5A defending state champions, the Lions had problems setting up their offense against a quick and physical full-court press. The Pioneers hounded the ball and jumped passing lanes. The Lions tried to fight back with their defense but couldn’t keep up in a 53-32 loss at Leavenworth. LHS committed 27 turnovers, including 14 in the first quarter. “We let their defensive pressure get to us and rattle us a bit,” Lawrence coach Jeff Dickson said. “We need to do a better job of handling physical pressure and mental pressure.” With a lineup full of young guards — freshmen Hannah Stewart and Leslie Ostronic, sophomores E’lease Stafford and Talima Harjo and junior Olivia Lemus — the Lions played too fast to avoid bad passes or falling into traps along the sidelines. “They are going to bump you and hold you and hand-check you and you have to be physically and mentally tough to handle that type of pressure,” Dickson said. “They speed you up to an uncomfortable pace that

Predictions: Self had a good feel for what might happen on Monday night between KU, ranked No. 1 in the AP poll and Oklahoma, ranked 1 in the coaches poll. “I told myself before the game if we held them to 75 we’d win,” Self said on Hawk Talk He was right. The score at the end of regulation By Benton Smith was 77-77.

But I think this team this year, we just have so many people that can run the offense and play their game.” Brown finished the game with 17 points and 11 rebounds against an overmatched group of Lancers (0-4). “She provides a great presence,” Piper said, “because our team’s not very big.

Big 12 Men Texas 60, Kansas St. 57 Austin, Texas — Isaiah Taylor scored 17 points, and Texas overcame a tough shooting night with some key late-game three-pointers to beat Kansas State on Tuesday night. Javan Felix scored 14 for Texas (9-5, 1-1 Big 12) and his three-pointer with just under fours minutes left gave Texas its first lead of the second half. Barry Brown scored 15 for Kansas State (10-4, 0-2), but two three-point attempts in the final seconds were both partially blocked. The win let Texas and new coach Shaka Smart avoid the program’s third 0-2 start in the Big 12 in four years. The Longhorns still struggled to find offensive rhythm after losing senior center Cam Ridley to a foot injury for 8-to10 weeks three games ago. But despite a 6 of 23 shooting effort on threepointers, the Longhorns got key long-range baskets from Felix and Connor Lammert down the stretch to secure the win. KANSAS ST.

Baylor 79, Oklahoma St. 62 Waco, Texas — Al Freeman scored 21 points, Rico Gathers had another double-double while becoming the first Baylor player with 1,000 career rebounds, and the Bears beat Oklahoma State. Gathers had 17 points and 17 rebounds, giving him 1,005 for his career and making him the eighth Big 12 player to reach 1,000 rebounds. It was the seventh doubledouble this season for the 6-foot-8 senior, and the 31st of his career. Freeman had 14 of his points and Gathers 13 before halftime when Baylor (11-3, 1-1 Big 12) led by as many as 18 points. Oklahoma State (9-5, 1-1) cut the gap to 59-56 midway through the second half after Jeffrey Carroll made a three-pointer, then had a steal that led to a layup by Chris Olivier. Terry Maston responded with consecutive baskets to start a 17-0 run for Baylor. That game-clinch spurt included a threepointer by Freeman, and a run-ending tip-in by Gathers for a 76-56 lead with just over three minutes left.

Free State needs overtime to down SM East, 80-73 By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Prairie Village — Ask any player or coach representing Free State’s boys basketball team and they’ll tell you the Firebirds never should have let Tuesday night’s game at Shawnee Mission East get to overtime. But, boy, are they glad they figured out a way to win once it did. After FSHS missed 15 free throws in the fourth quarter, senior guard Hunter Gudde, who played his part in the Firebirds’ second-half free-throw funk, missing five straight at one point, connected on a threepointer from the right corner to open overtime. Gudde scored seven of his game-high 30 points in the extra four minutes to help Free State escape with an 80-73 victory. The Firebirds built on their lead throughout overtime, with Gudde scoring inside and going 2-for-4 at the freethrow line. Backup senior forward Darian Lewis (seven points, seven rebounds, three charges drawn) scored twice in transition in OT. “I don’t know if we deserved to win,” first-year FSHS coach Sam Stroh said afterward, shaking his head, “but credit to our guys. We stuck together and made some free throws when we needed to and got a stop here and there in the overtime.” Although the Firebirds only made 28 of 58 freebies on the night, all those fouls the drew led to disqualifications for four key

FREE STATE HIGH JUNIOR JAY DINEEN (11) MAKES AN OUTLET PASS TO PUSH THE BALL ahead of the Shawnee Mission East defense during the Firebirds’ 80-73 overtime win Tuesday in Prairie Village. Lancers, who also created some foul problems of their own in the second half with a pair of technical fouls. However, following both technicals, Free State missed at the line, with a man on an island shooting by himself. Gudde, junior Jacob Pavlyak and junior Sloan Thomsen combined to go 0-for-7 immediately following SME technicals. Stroh could tell his players were in a funk following those spotlight misses. “It’s like every single guy who came to the line, they’re thinking about it,” the coach said, “instead of just going through their motions and going through their routine and knocking them down.” Lancers senior center Luke Ehly sent the game to OT with a buzzer-

beating layup to close the fourth quarter, 19 seconds after Gudde went 1-for2 on a trip to the charity stripe. “We need to do a better job of finishing off games. But a win’s a win,” Gudde said after the Firebirds (31) finally put away SME (1-5). Gudde shot 9-for-19 at the stripe on a night the Firebirds’ fourth-quarter shooting at the foul line (12-for-27) nearly cost them. “I missed a lot of free throws. We all did,” Gudde said. “We just all kept our heads up. There were points in the games where we struggled and I thought we just did a good job of finishing the game as best we could with what we had out on the floor.” Senior FSHS guard

Kristian Rawls scored 13 points by doing better at the foul line than anybody else, going 9-for-11 before fouling out with 2:03 left in regulation. “It’s good for our guys to be in these type of situations,” Stroh said, “on the road, first league game.” FREE STATE (80) Kristian Rawls 2-4 9-11 13, Chrisioin Wilburn 2-3 2-3 6, Sloan Thomsen 1-3 0-4 3, Jacob Pavlyak 2-5 3-9 7, Hunter Gudde 9-11 9-19 30, Jay Dineen 2-2 0-0 5, Darian Lewis 3-6 1-4 7, Shannon Cordes 1-3 1-2 3, Simon McCaffrey 0-0 3-6 3, Reece White-Downing 1-1 0-0 3.

KANSAS-BAYLOR WOMEN AT A GLANCE When: 7 p.m. today Where: Allen Fieldhouse Who: Baylor Series: Baylor leads, 23-8 Big, bad Bears: Already on a four-game losing skid, Kansas University’s women’s basketball team will face its biggest challenge to date of coach Brandon Schneider’s first season tonight, when No. 4 Baylor visits Allen Fieldhouse. But sophomore guard Lauren Aldridge said KU (5-8 overall, 0-2 Big 12) isn’t at a place where it can worry about its opponent more than in itself — even if that foe is the Bears (14-1, 1-1). “Baylor is good. Baylor is always going to be good. I think that, yet again, you can’t look at who they are, we need to evaluate ourselves and what we do, get back to doing what we do best,” Aldridge said. “It shouldn’t make a difference for any of us. They’re the opposing team and we don’t like them, whether they have Baylor written on their chest or they have, school of the I don’t know. We have to go out and play hard every single game.” Her teammate and fellow sophomore, guard Chayla Cheadle, echoed that line of thinking: “We know this is going to be a big game for us. Every game is a big game for us, especially this season, but I think we’re really excited to play and we just need to do what we know how to do and get out there and execute.” Dynamic duo: KU guards Lauren Aldridge, a sophomore, and Kylee Kopatich, a freshman, have been two of the more consistent scorers in the KU lineup so far this season. Aldridge, who started all 32 games at point guard during her freshman sea-

son a year ago, leads the Jayhawks with a 12.2-point scoring average. Kopatich, who hails from nearby Olathe South High, is right behind her at 11.1 points per game. Both players have reached double figures in scoring in 10 of KU’s 13 games this season and the two guards are also among KU’s leading three-point shooters). A streak of their own: KU’s men may have a stranglehold on the Big 12 regular season title, having won 11 in a row, but the Baylor women have put together a nice streak of their own. Baylor has won five consecutive Big 12 tournament titles. Slumping: KU as a whole. The Jayhawks have lost four straight, including three at home, and have not enjoyed a victory since a 61-54, overtime win over Navy back on December 13. The average margin of defeat during KU’s current four-game losing skid is 16 points (67-51) and the Jayhawks have struggled to score throughout the season, failing to top 53 points five times this season.

Probable starters Kansas (5-8 overall, 0-2 Big 12) G — Lauren Aldridge, 5-7, so. G — Jayde Christopher, 5-8, fr. G — Kylee Kopatich, 5-10, fr. F — Jada Brown, 6-0, jr.

over the salmon half way through its cooking time to make sure it cooked evenly. How do you know when the salmon is finished cooking? If you slide a knife into it and the blade sails through the fillet with no resistance, it’s done. And be sure to pull it off the heat when there’s still a tiny bit of resistance left, which will allow for carry-over cooking time. For crunch, I sprinkled tortilla chips on top; they are salsa’s classic partner. But these were my own healthy baked tortilla chips, which take only 15 minutes to prepare. On the whole, this recipe is pretty quick and easy to make, but you can streamline it even fur-

ther by picking up green salsa and baked tortilla chips at the supermarket. By the way, there were leftovers the second time we tested this winner. When we polished them off the next day, we discovered that this dish is just as delicious cold as hot.

Salmon Poached in Green Salsa with Baked Tortilla Strips For the tortilla strips: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin Four 6-inch corn tortillas Kosher salt

For the salmon: 8 ounces fresh tomatillos, husked, rinsed and quartered 1/2 cup coarsely chopped scallions (white and light green parts) 1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon lime juice 1/2 jalapeno or serrano chili, seeds removed if desired 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 1/2 pounds center-cut salmon fillet, cut into 4 equal portions.

Thai Cucumber Salad

Thai salad great for post-holiday detox By Katie Workman

Associated Press

love every bite of the holidays. I loved the mashed potatoes and the pies and the cornbread stuffing and everything else. And I’m not going to look back on it with regret. I am, however, not going to continue eating this way indefinitely. And this salad is why I’m not so sad about that. Lots of us are crazy about Thai food, what with all those bright, vibrant flavors, exciting textures and the play of

sweet and sour and salty happening in so many ways. And classic Thai ingredients such as lemongrass, chilies and coconut milk are now popping up at grocers all over the country. You’ll find it’s fun and easy to work them into your home cooking. This simple salad features crunchy cucumbers enhanced with just a bit of citrus, soy sauce and a few other Thai ingredients. Cilantro is an herb people usually love or hate; few people feel “meh” about it. So if it’s not your thing, or someone

at the table doesn’t like it, serve it on the side and let people add it to their own salads as they wish. You also could substitute Thai basil. If you want to bump up the flavor even more, substitute fish sauce for half of the soy sauce. It will add a layer of delicious pungency to the dish.

1 jalapeno pepper 2 teaspoons minced shallots 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 teaspoon sugar 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves 1/4 cup salted cocktail peanuts, lightly crushed

cucumber halves crosswise into thin slices. A mandoline is best, but a knife is fine. Trim the jalapeno, slice in half lengthwise, then remove the seeds before mincing. In a large bowl, combine the jalapeno, shallots, soy sauce, lime juice and sugar, then stir to combine. Add the cucumbers and toss to combine. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or platter, then top with the cilantro and the peanuts. Yield: 4 servings.

Maple, vanilla flavors mingle in luxurious Italian puddings By Melissa d’Arabian Associated Press

Years ago, a friend took me to one of his favorite restaurants in New York City. Dinner was fantastic, the company riveting, but what stayed with me most was dessert: maple budino. One bite and I was smitten. The pudding was luxuriously fatty and creamy, and the flavor was incredibly clean: maple and maybe a little floral vanilla. Budino is simply Italian for pudding, but this was unlike any pudding I’d ever eaten. For the record, I am a pudding fan. I grew up having “pudding parties” with my sister, the two of us making pudding out of the box, lightly scorching every saucepan in the house over the years. Chocolate pudding and the “Love Boat/Fantasy Island” lineup pretty much punctuate my entire childhood experience. Later, I learned how easy it is to make a quick stovetop pudding from scratch. Simply follow this formula (which is easily scaled up): 1 cup milk plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch plus 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar plus fla-

The trick to a smooth stovetop pudding is to whisk the cornstarch and sugar first in the cold saucepan to break up lumps, then whisk in the milk.

ing Julie McCoy. Making your own puddings means you control the ingredients. Since milk already is a little sweet, you don’t need a ton of extra sugar. And you can slowly reduce the amount of sugar over time, so your family grows accustomed to a healthier dessert. Fat, too, is under your control. You can use whole milk

for restaurant-creamy results or skim milk if you don’t mind a less-lush texture in exchange for a skinny calorie count. I also love baked custard puddings. They require more effort, but they are more likely to feel at home at a dinner party. This maple budino is a baked custard, but feel free to make a stovetop version using my formula above.

tortillas into thin strips. Arrange the strips in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake the strips on the oven’s middle shelf for 6 to 8 minutes, or until crispy. Sprinkle with salt, let cool completely, then break them up slightly. Set aside. To prepare the salsa, in a food processor, combine the tomatillos, scallions, cilantro, lime juice, chili and garlic. Pulse until the ingredients are almost

smooth with a few small chunks. In a medium skillet over medium, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatillo mixture and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. If the mixture gets too dry, add 1/2 cup of water. Season with salt and pepper. Add the salmon to the skillet, skin sides down, then cover the skillet tightly

and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Turn the salmon over, cover tightly and simmer gently until the salmon is almost cooked through, about another 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the salmon stand for 3 minutes, covered, before serving. To serve, transfer a portion of salmon to each of 4 plates, then top each with sauce and tortilla strips. Yield: 4 servings.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Responds to B Vitamins and Other Supplements Back in the 1980s, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) was usually seen in factory workers and cashiers whose work involved repetitive motion of the wrist. Today, it can still affect these groups of people, but it often affects people who regularly use computers. Because so many of us use computers, millions of people are at risk of developing the disorder. CTS is a type of neuropathy that affects the median nerve in the wrists’ carpal tunnel. CTS may affect as many as 14 million Americans, and it is often treated with a splint, drugs, and surgery. Often, these treatments have very limited benefits. Over the years, more than a handful of studies have found that supplements of vitamin B6, sometimes in combination with other B vitamins (e.g., B2), can ease and often eliminate pain in people with CTS. While some doctors describe nutritional supplements as a “conservative” therapy, others often dismiss it as being “no better than placebo” and encourage patients to undergo surgery. In one recent study, Mahnaz Talebi, MD, and her colleagues at the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Iran, treated 20 patients—32 affected hands—with 120 mg of vitamin B6 daily for three months (the typical length of time to see a peak in improvement), along with splints. Nineteen other patients, with 35 affected hands, were treated only with splints. “Nocturnal awakening frequency due to pain, daily pain, daily pain frequency, daily pain persistence, hand numbness, hand weakness, hand tingling, severity of nocturnal numbness and tingling, nocturnal awakening frequency owing to hand numbness and tingling, and clumsiness in handling objects improved significantly in the vitamin B6-treated patients,” wrote Talebi and her colleagues. Patients treated only with a splint saw improvements in opening jars and handling telephones. Meanwhile, Giorgio Pajardi, MD, and his colleagues at the hand surgery unit of MultiMedica in Milan, Italy, treated 180 patients with CTS. Sixty of the patients received 300 mg of alpha-lipoic acid, 500 mg of curcumin, and approximately RDA levels of vitamins B1, B2, B5, and B6 daily for three months before and three months after surgery. Sixty other patients received the supplements for three months before surgery, and another group of patients did not receive any supplements. Patients taking the supplements before and after surgery fared the best. After 40 days and three months after surgery, they had fewer nighttime symptoms of CTS.
