City leaders critical of proposed HERE parking plan Commission defers vote on issue By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

After a three-hour discussion Tuesday night, during which Lawrence’s five city commissioners expressed

Herbert

their distaste of a new proposed parking plan for the HERE @ Kansas development, the vote on the matter was deferred and the issue sent back to city planners. With a 5-0 vote, commis-

sioners tasked city staff with working again on the development — a luxury apartment and commercial project near Memorial Stadium — to ensure its proposed valet parking garage can be used practically. There were concerns about the width of

the parking spaces, which renderings showed to be a foot narrower than city code, and whether the system would be so inconvenient it would cause future tenants to park elsewhere in the already congested Oread neighborhood.

“I want this to succeed, but if we’re moving forward with this, we’re moving forward with something that doesn’t meet our code,” Commissioner Matthew Herbert said. Please see PARKING, page 5A

Arts Center CEO to retire at end of year

he new number to shoot for in the Lawrence construction industry is $227 million. No, contractors, the Lawhorn household has not decided to start construction on the muchdiscussed third wing of the shoe closet. Instead, $227 million is the record-breaking amount of new construction that took place in Lawrence in 2015. We already had reported that Lawrence had set a record for building activity in 2015, but we didn’t know the final number until the city closed the books on the year. Well, that’s now been done, and the latest report from City Hall shows the city issued building permits for $227.89 million worth of construction. That’s more than double the $99.7 million worth of projects that were started in 2014. The 2015 totals broke the previous building permit record that was set in 2013 when permits for $171.9 million worth of construction were issued. The actual amount of construction occurring in the city in 2015 was quite a bit higher than what was recorded by the city. The bulk of the public school construction projects were exempted from the city’s building permit process, so they don’t show up in these totals. As has long been the case, construction projects on the KU campus also don’t show up in the totals.

lines,” while telling men simply to wear jackets, ties and dress pants. Knudsen, a Republican, later called it a “rookie mistake” and reversed course. “It wasn’t a hill worth dying on at the beginning of the session,” he said. Female lawmakers aren’t immune: In 2014, Republican Peggy Mast, the Kansas House’s speaker pro-tem, drew First Amendment complaints after suggesting dress code changes for interns. She pulled back some — interns can apparently wear perfume and cologne after all — but their manual still asks women to avoid “halter tops, strapless tops, backless style, miniskirts and revealing necklines.” There’s no list of forbidden attire for men. “The notion that the men in the legislature are going to dictate how women dress feels (like) a bit of a throwback to a bygone era that I think we had thought we had left,” said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Women are a slight majority of the U.S. population, but remain a minority in all 50 state legislatures, filling 1,808 legislative seats this year, 24.5 percent of the nationwide total, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. That’s a historic high, but their ranks have remained relatively unchanged in the last five years.

“We have a terrific staff and board of directors, and everything will continue until the end of the year when there’s a new CEO in place,” Tate, 53, told the JournalWorld on Tuesday. “We have a strategic plan and a vision for this year and for subsequent years and we are absolutely committed to it and working on it every day.” She announced her decision last month to the Lawrence Arts Center’s executive committee. Tate, who taught English and humanities at Lawrence High School before taking on her current post, says she will remain in Lawrence and continue her involvement with the Arts Center primarily “working with major donors,” outside ventures such as the Free State Festival and East Ninth Project, and as a consultant. Under her leadership, the Lawrence Arts Center has won prestigious grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, ArtPlace America, the William T. Kemper Foundation and the William Randolph Hearst Foundations. Tate has also overseen the development of the nationally recognized STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) program, as well as the expansion of the Arts Center’s artistin-residence and visiting artists program, and the creation of a Legacy Fund held at the Douglas County Community Foundation for the long-term support of children’s art education. As far as ideal CEO candidates go, Golden jokingly said hers would be “a clone” of Tate, who plans to help with the transition process. “It’s very, very interesting, because from Susan’s background, what she brought was a lot of energy, a lot of vision, the ability to think outside the box, collaborate, see down the road of what that collaboration could bring, and she didn’t necessarily have a business background in running a $2.5 million business, which is what the (Arts Center) has grown into,” Golden said. “I’m being very open in my thoughts. I don’t know where this person might come from.” — Features reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at jhlavacek@ljworld. com or 832-6388.

THESE ARE SEVERAL OF THE MOST HEAVILY REDACTED PAGES that Kansas University provided to the Journal-World after the newspaper filed an open-records request for documents related to two fraternities currently on probation for hazing. KU redacted information throughout the 23-page batch of documents, including all descriptions of the nature of hazing activities. KU says it redacted the documents to protect the identity and privacy of fraternity members.

KU’s response to records appeal reveals little more about frat hazing New superintendent

By Sara Shepherd

Twitter: @saramarieshep

Kansas University has responded to an open records appeal by the Journal-World, unredacting a small percentage of text that was blacked out in one of several documents initially provided by the university. All information remains hidden about the nature and severity of hazing behaviors the newspaper sought to learn when requesting the documents. In October, a Journal-World reporter requested documents related to the university’s investigations against two fraternities currently on probation for hazing: Delta Tau Delta, located at 1111 W. 11th St., and Phi Beta Sigma, a small African-American fraternity with-

out an official chapter house. KU gave the reporter 23 pages of documents, including letters from KU Student Affairs to both fraternities and a summary of KU’s investigation into Delta Tau Delta. The documents were heavily redacted to conceal lists of — and other references to — the hazing behaviors for which KU found the fraternities responsible, which KU said was done to protect identities of individual members and avoid an unwarranted invasion of privacy. In December, Journal-World managing editor Chad Lawhorn appealed to KU’s freedom of information officer and CFO, Theresa Gordzica, asking for the university to provide new copies of the documents, unredacted but for personally identifiable information.

“KU’s sweeping redaction of the documents provided to the newspaper fails to meet the university’s obligations under federal and state open records laws,” Lawhorn said in the written appeal. “In addition to redacting individuals’ names and offices — which would be acceptable under the law — the records KU provided the newspaper were heavily redacted to hide ALL information about the nature of the hazing.” With her response, sent Monday, Gordzica provided a slightly less-redacted version of one of the five documents initially given to the newspaper. “The university believes that the information that has been redacted from this and other documents

to have higher salary than current one

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

When the Lawrence school district hires its new superintendent, it will be able to offer that person at least $32,000 more per year than the outgoing superintendent without actually spending more. The new superintendent’s salary will be between $205,000 and $215,000 per year, the

high end of which would amount to a 24 percent increase over the current superintendent’s salary. Though that may sound like a big jump, because of a state charge associated with current Superintendent Rick Doll’s employment, the district will still end up spending a comparable amount.

Air gun clubs urge legislators to allow meetings at schools By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Organizers of an air gun club in south-central Kansas are urging state lawmakers to pass a bill that would guarantee them access to school facilities to hold their meetings and competitions. “There are many, many organizations, youth organizations and others, that use school facilities,” said Larry Richardson, organizer of the Derby BB Club in Sedgwick County. “We just want to be treated like everybody else.” Richardson said he started the club in 1981, originally meeting in another building in town. But the program became so popular that by 1985 it relocated to one

of the district’s school gymnasiums. In 30 years of meeting at that school, he said, no injuries or accidents occurred. But last year, he said, the district changed its policy and said the club could no longer practice at the school. Richardson said he then appealed to the school board, which voted 4-3 to deny his request. District officials cited the Kansas Weapons Free Schools Act, which not only prohibits possession of firearms on school property but also mandates a oneyear expulsion of any student who possesses or discharges a firearm on school property or at any school-sponsored event. All other states have similar laws that were enacted because of a 1994 federal law that requires

states to adopt them as a condition of receiving federal education funds. But that law was later amended to allow exceptions for activities that are authorized by the local school district. After that, Richardson contacted one of his local legislators, Rep. Blake Carpenter, RDerby, and asked for a change in the law to exempt air guns from the definition of firearms under the act. House Bill 2468 would not only do that but also prohibit school districts from refusing to provide organizations like Richardson’s the use of school facilities solely because they use air guns in their activities. And it would shield the schools from some liability by giving them authority to re-

quire students who participate to sign a liability waiver holding the schools harmless for the actions of the shooting clubs. Kati Thul, an elementary principal in the nearby Garden Plain school district who also sponsors the Sedgwick County 4-H Shooting Club, said she ran into the same roadblock last year when she asked permission to let her group use school facilities. “I actually submitted a request to use our facilities for the state 4-H shooting match and I was denied for the obvious reason that it was bringing guns into our facilities,” she said. “I completely understand my board of education’s decision, but I also disagree.” Both Thul and Richardson

BRIEFLY KU Hospital to add floors to new tower Kansas University Hospital’s Cambridge North Patient Tower is still under construction, and the hospital already has decided to expand it right away instead of waiting, as previously planned. With patient volume as high as it’s been, the new tower is expected to be full as soon as it opens in 2017, hospital President and CEO Bob Page said in a news release this week. When first announced in 2014, the tower was planned as a seven-story building with 92 beds and 12 operating rooms, with the option to construct four additional floors at a future time. The Hospital Authority Board voted instead to keep construction equipment on site and begin building the additional floors as soon as the main project opens. The additional floors are expected to open in 2018, according to the hospital. Cambridge North Patient

“I am grateful that the committee has at least referred it and didn’t kill it here. There’s a lot of work to be done,” Krenz said. “It’s hard to listen to some of the reasons why they chose not to keep this bill intact because there is research on both sides. I do understand that. But we’re stuck in a place where there’s nothing left for our son.” The hemp oil provision was added to the bill last year in the House as an amendment onto the bill

Eudora to consider 2-way power meters The Eudora city staff will prepare an ordinance that would allow residents to benefit from the excess sustainable electrical energy they produce. The Eudora City Commission had a workshop on the issue at its Monday meeting after receiving a request from a resident who intends to install solar panels on his home. The measure discussed at the workshop would have the city install two-way meters for customers with the means to produce wind or solar energy. The customers would then be credited for excess they produced during a billing period. Commissioners instructed staff to return with an ordinance for consideration.

Baldwin City OKs rezoning request The Baldwin City Council on Monday approved the first reading of a rezoning request for property in the northeast section of the city from single-family residential to two-family residential. The Lighthouse Baptist Church currently owns the property at 700 Ridge Lane. It was explained at Monday’s meeting that Lighthouse Baptist Church would sell the property to North Star Housing LLC of Grain Valley, Mo., should the rezoning be approved. Andrew Danner of North Star Housing said Tuesday he wouldn’t talk about the company’s plans for the property until it was rezoned.

Baldwin City schools won’t raise fees The Baldwin City school board at its Monday meeting approved a 2016-2017 fee schedule that maintains fees at current year levels.

However, the board did reserve the right to revisit fees should the state decrease the level of 20162017 funding. The board has increased or introduced fees in recent years for such things as bus transportation, activities, milk and all-day kindergarten as the level of state classroom funding has decreased or been frozen. Superintendent Paul Dorathy said the board understood the hardship fees could place on families when they are due in the fall.

County Commission meeting canceled The Douglas County Commission meeting scheduled for today has been canceled so that commissioners and county staffers can attend the annual Local Government Day in Topeka.

reducing criminal penalties for simple possession. Rep. John Wilson, DLawrence, was the sponsor of that provision, which he calls Otis’ Law, named after another child with a seizure disorder. It would have authorized the use of hemp oil, a nonintoxicating oil derived from the seeds of hemp plants that some research has shown to be effective in reducing both the frequency and severity of seizures in patients with epilepsy and related disorders. Several committee members, including Sen. Jeff King, R-Independence, expressed reservations about passing such

a bill because hemp oil has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treatment of any medical condition. “I very much worry about creating a path through the state Legislature that circumvents the FDA, that circumvents the very important and very rigorous processes through which we normally test drugs and supplements are used to try to help those who are suffering the most,” King said. Also stripped out of the bill was a provision authorizing the Kansas Department of Agriculture to engage in research on industrial uses of hemp.

The remaining, original portion of the bill would reduce first-time possession of marijuana from a Class A to a Class B misdemeanor. Secondtime possession would be reduced from a low-level felony to a Class A misdemeanor. Officials from the Kansas Sentencing Commission testified in favor of that measure, saying it would eventually reduce the state’s prison population by about 100 inmates, saving the state more than $1 million in prison costs.

expenses for the district. “If you add that in, the range we’re looking at is quite comparable to what we’re currently paying,” she said. District officials said they have been paying the surcharge for Doll, as well as all other working retirees, since a surcharge for working retirees began about eight years ago. “We have been paying the surcharge on all retirees who work for us since the law went into effect in 2008,” said David Cunningham, director of human resources and legal services for the district. Doll, 61, announced in November that he had accepted a full-time position as associate professor and executive director of the Kansas Educational Leadership Institute at Kansas State University.

If Doll had continued to be employed by the district, upcoming KPERS rule changes governing working after retirement would have necessitated changes to his employment contract. Doll’s resignation will be effective on June 30, the last day before the new rules take effect. Doll said the upcoming rule change was a factor in his decision to resign. Under the new rules, once a working retiree reaches the earnings limit of $25,000 in a year, that person is required to choose between receiving benefits from the KPERS retirement plan or continuing to work, according to the KPERS website. Increase in district expense or not, the new salary is meant to be competitive. The new superintendent’s salary would have that

person making more than the city manager hired this month for $190,000. Sanburn said the proposed salary was recommended by consultants — the district hired the firm McPherson & Jacobson to aid in the superintendent search — and based on factors such as district enrollment and cost of living. The Lawrence district includes 20 schools, a college and career center and about 10,500 students. Sanburn said the proposed salary is comparable to districts similar in size to Lawrence. For example, the Topeka district has about 12,800 students and its new superintendent was hired last week for $215,000 per year.

He said the school board group opposed the mandate that districts must allow shooting clubs to meet on school property, saying that is an issue that should be left up to local school boards.

provided to the newspaper meets the university’s obligations under federal and state open records laws while at the same time balancing the university’s obligations under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA),” she said. The summary of the Delta Tau Delta investigation features answers that pledge class members gave to various questions from university officials. Initially, all answers were completely redacted, along with portions of the questions. In the revised version, some answers are visible. However, the newly visible answers don’t appear to address hazing activity, at least not any that’s discernible through the text that is legible. Here is some of the text KU previously redacted, which the university said was to protect the identities of students and avoid an unwarranted invasion of privacy: l In response to the question, “Did you ever [REDACTED]. Who suggested this activity, if it did happen?” “I have a vague remembrance but was not part of this specific question. I didn’t have to, but I did hear about it. No I did not. I do not recall.” l In response to a question about whether pledges had their rooms broken into while they were at Table Rock Lake: “My room was never broken in to. No. No. Well, my phone charger went missing but [expletive] like that happens all the time to everyone in the house. Yes, no I believe someone smoked weed in my room because of the smell.” l In response to a question asking whether drugs are used in the house: “To my knowledge no one uses drugs in the house... Occasionally. I never know who exact-

ly it is, I just notice the smell.” l In response to a question asking whether pledges have the same treatment as active members: “I feel it was the same most of the time. We were treated just like them. Absolutely, I never felt that I couldn’t do what I wanted to... Yes, I feel welcomed and respected at Delta Tau Delta. I never felt harmed or threatened at any time... Almost all of the guys are great and always have been. Just a select few were involved in these incidents and many people I don’t think had any idea of what was happening.” l In response to a question asking what they would change about their pledge experience: “That our house cook now was our house cook then... More bonding experiences. Honestly, nothing. There was never anything that I was not comfortable with.” The summary also includes a chart asking pledges to check yes or no to whether they’d ever been subjected to or witnessed hazing activities, including nudity, eating any unwanted substance or paddle swats. Answers are redacted, as is the entire following page, which contains verbatim explanations of questions pledges answered yes to. University spokesman Joe Monaco declined to answer why KU initially redacted that information, instead referencing a previous explanation. Under FERPA, KU is allowed to release student information without the student’s consent only after removing “all personally identifiable information,” Monaco said in a Journal-World article last month. He said one fraternity had fewer than 10 total members and that the other case involved “events” that happened to all members of a pledge class, “meaning any information about those events can be identifiable to anyone who knows a fraternity member — and many people on campus do.”

Parking

Tuesday that the project was intended to increase foot traffic near Kansas University, and that its bicycle storage and proximity to a new bus stop would allow tenants to store their cars in the garage or go without a vehicle, rather than drive daily. He called the development “unique,” “remarkable” and a “pinnacle experience of student living.” A half-dozen residents in the neighborhood described it as a “mess,” a “small Aggieville,” and a “shiny object City Commissioners thought sounded really nice.” Scott McCullough, city planning director, estimated a revised development plan could be completed in a few weeks. McCullough said the developer’s proposal for a traditional parking garage at 1137 Indiana St. would likely go before the

commission in a couple of months. That garage would add 96 parking spaces to the development — enough to allow HERE to fill its apartments and the commercial space on the structure’s lower levels. It still has to go through the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission and the Historic Resources Commission. The discussion between commissioners and Heffernan was heated at points and hit a crescendo during talk about the development group’s agreement with the city, which gives developers a 85 percent, 10-year tax abatement. “Are we talking about the NRA [Neighborhood Revitalization Act] or the parking structure? Those are two different issues,” Heffernan said. “Very few developers could even execute this project, and we have substantially delivered

unit into a new one. Whether the city is building the “right amount” of apartment units is beyond me. What I find interesting about it, though, is how differently City Hall treats apartment construction than it does retail construction. Market forces are in play in both instances. As we recently saw with the denial of a proposed shopping center at the SLT and Iowa Street interchange, the city spends much time worrying about whether the Lawrence market can absorb new retail space. Has the city spent much time worrying about whether the Lawrence market can absorb new apartments? One of the primary reasons government cares about not allowing a market to become overbuilt is because it can create blight in existing areas of town: A new shopping center takes business away from an existing shopping center, and the existing shopping center becomes rundown. Is that an issue the city should be worried about with new versus old apartment complexes? Drive around town and note what you see more of: blighted shopping centers or blighted apartments. It appears the city is allowing the market to have a much greater say in apartment development in Lawrence than it is allowing the market to have in retail development. I really don’t know what the right approach is for either retail or apartment development. But it is interesting how the two are treated differently. It creates a couple of questions: What will happen to all these old apartment complexes in Lawrence? And, will this new City Commission start clamping down on new apartment construction?

Commissioners were asked Tuesday to either approve or deny the new parking plan, which was created after HERE learned in October the company creating its robotic parking garage had filed bankruptcy. Its new plan leaves the project with 69 fewer spaces than planned and 25 fewer than what’s required by city law to fill the apartments to capacity. Under the new plan, the robotic system would be replaced with a thirdparty valet company that would park tenants’ cars in leased spaces. The third party would assume all liability, said Jim Heffernan, a principal with HERE Enterprises. Heffernan repeated

In other business, commissioners: l Voted unanimously to approve a legal document called “findings of fact” explaining their decision to deny planning changes that would have allowed for KTen Crossing, a shopping center proposed for the intersection of south Iowa Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway.

The document states commissioners did not approve the proposal because rezoning the property to a regional commercial designation did not conform to the city’s comprehensive plan and is incompatible with the existing and planned use of the area.

Ex, not husband, is real problem with old affair Dear Annie: Several years ago, I had a much talked about affair with an older married man at my office. It lasted for several years. I was single at the time, and I met him at a very low period in my life. He told me I was smart, pretty and fun to be with. He showered me with flowers and gifts. He led me to believe his marriage was loveless and his only happiness was seeing me at work and talking to me on the phone. We did everything leading up to sex, but never actually completed intercourse due to religious reasons. After a few years, I met the man I am now married to. The older man became very angry and began harassing me, emotionally and verbally. I reported him to my supervisors several times, but

Searching for a shark on Travel Can’t wait until summer for “Shark Week”? “Wild Things With Dominic Monaghan” (9 p.m., Travel, TV-PG) returns for a third season. The first two aired on BBC America. Monaghan, familiar to fans of “Lost” and “The Lord of the Rings” franchise, travels to Mozambique in this season opener. He’s in search of the world’s biggest fish, the whale shark, known to weigh up to 42 tons. Along the way to the country’s 1,600-mile coastline, Monaghan is given a tour by children who show him some of Mozambique’s more peculiar creatures, including a rock python. He visits the coastal village of Vilanculos and witnesses its annual rowboat race and encounters a moray eel, a whip ray and a giant manta, all before his date with the whale shark. Over the course of the third season, Monaghan visits Bolivia, Japan, the Philippines, Venezuela and Vietnam. O A far more somber travelogue, “This Is Exile: Diaries of Child Refugees” (6 p.m., Pivot, TV-14) offers an intimate look at the plight of children forced to leave the violence in their native Syria. More than half of the refugees generated by that prolonged civil war are children. “This Is Exile” is narrated entirely by its juvenile subjects. O “NOVA” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) recalls the “Himalayan Megaquake,” the devastating April 2015 earthquake that rocked the Himalayas — Nepal, in particular. “NOVA” uses computer graphics to explore the geology behind the massive quake and speculate on the likelihood of another epic tremble, even as residents of the mountainous nation are rebuilding. Dramatic footage also recalls efforts to rescue survivors trapped on Mount Everest. O “Nature” (7 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) concludes its three-part look at “Natural Born Hustlers,” with a glance at “Sex, Lies & Dirty Tricks,” a profile of the creatures who use stealth to procreate and cunning to trick other animals into raising their young.

EDITORIALS

Strategy lacking Kansas officials must give top priority to addressing staffing and other issues at two state hospitals.

ecent reports and testimony about conditions at the state’s only two hospitals for people with serious mental illness paint a disturbing picture. Osawatomie State Hospital has lost its certification for Medicare reimbursement. Both Osawatomie and Larned State Hospital are facing staffing shortages so severe that they likely threaten both patient care and employee safety. And, at least at this point, it seems that the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services doesn’t have a good understanding of the problems or any solid plans to help resolve them. Internal reports reviewed by the Topeka Capital-Journal last week indicated that more than half of the 390 to 400 employees in Larned’s nursing department had worked overtime in the past four weeks. At least 50 workers had worked more than 20 hours of overtime in each of those weeks and some had worked as much as 40 hours of overtime, doubling their intended work schedules. The newspaper also obtained a recording of a Larned staff meeting at which Tim Keck, the new interim KDADS secretary, acknowledged that the nursing vacancy rate at Larned was about 40 percent. He said that department wanted to reduce that number to 18 percent — which would require hiring 62 mental health developmental disability technicians, 20 licensed practical nurses and seven nurses — but he offered few specifics about how the department planned to meet that goal. Staffing also is an issue at Osawatomie, but Keck and his staff were unable to tell a legislative hearing last week exactly how severe the problem is. The department later reported that Osawatomie has a vacancy rate of 38.7 percent — 187 vacancies out of 483 positions. Keck also struggled to answer questions about how the agency will address staffing and other problems at Osawatomie. He did say that the department plans to apply for Medicare recertification and is planning to hire a consultant to help with that effort. Given the department’s apparent level of disarray on the state hospital situation, hiring a consultant probably is a good idea, but Keck’s estimate that recertification could be achieved in three to six months seems optimistic. In the meantime, Osawatomie is losing about $600,000 a month in Medicare reimbursements. In Keck’s defense, he has only been in charge of KDADS since Jan. 1 and all indications are that he has stepped into a mess concerning the state mental hospitals. Nonetheless, he and his department need to understand the urgency of this problem and come up with solid strategies to address it. Providing adequate staff is essential. That likely will require the state to offer higher salaries and better working conditions. Filling staff vacancies, in itself, will improve working conditions by reducing overtime demands and providing a safer work environment. The first step to solving any problem is to understand the issues involved. Recent reports don’t inspire much confidence that KDADS has a firm handle on what it will take to solve the serious problems at the state’s mental hospitals. That needs to change — and now.

Israelis ponder strategic options Tel Aviv, Israel — Let’s say Islamic State fighters attack an Israeli military patrol along the Syrian border. They try unsuccessfully to kidnap an Israeli soldier, and they kill four others. A Jordanian border post is hit, too, and the Islamic State proclaims it has control of Daraa province in southern Syria. How do Israel and other key players respond? In a war game played here this week, they retaliated, but cautiously. The players representing Israel and Jordan wanted to avoid a pitched battle against the terrorists — they looked to the United States for leadership. This simulation exercise was run by Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) as part of its annual conference. The outcome illustrated the paradoxical reality of the conflict against the Islamic State: Israel and Jordan act with caution and restraint, hoping to avoid being drawn deeper into the chaotic Syrian war, even as the United States escalates its involvement. “We all believe that keeping Israel out of the conflict is important,” said Brig. Gen. Assaf Orion, a retired officer who served as head of the Israel Defense Forces’ planning staff. He led the Israeli team in the simulation. In our war game, Israel retaliated for the killing of its soldiers but avoided major military operations. Jordan, too, wanted to

The players representing Jordan didn’t want to send their own troops into Syria. They worried about refugees and terrorist sleeper cells inside Jordan. They hoped that the combined military power of Russia and the Syrian regime could suppress the conflict and evict the Islamic State from its foothold in southern Syria. They looked for American leadership, but weren’t sure it was dependable. Which left the United States. Gen. John Allen, the retired Marine who until recently coordinated the U.S-led coalition’s strategy against the Islamic State, played the American hand.

The U.S. viewed Israeli and Jordanian security as a vital national interest, he said, and would send its warplanes to retaliate for any attacks on its allies. American military involvement, in the simulation and in reality, is increasing — partly by default of others. If you don’t like this simulated version of the war, you may like real life even less. There’s growing consensus that the Islamic State poses a severe threat to regional and even international order; one senior former Israeli official described the conflict with the caliphate as “World War III.” But most players still want to hold America’s coat while the United States does the bulk of the fighting. A visit to Israeli military headquarters here confirmed that the war game was an accurate reflection of how Israeli military leaders see the conflict. Rather than attacking Islamic State forces along its northern and eastern borders, Israel pursues a policy of deterrence, containment and even quiet liaison, said a senior Israeli military official. He noted that if Israel wanted to mount an all-out ground attack on Islamic State forces in southern Syria and the Sinai Peninsula, it could wipe them out in three or four hours. “But what would happen the day after?” asks this Israeli military official. “Right now, we think it will

be worse. So we try to deter them.” The Israelis don’t want to kick over a hornet’s nest in taking on the Islamic State. Is that measured option available to the United States? Most Israeli officials say no. They argue that the U.S. is a superpower, and that if it wants to maintain leadership in the region, it must lead the fight to roll back the Islamic State. The theme of the INSS conference was that the rules of the game are changing in the Middle East. States are fragmenting; a self-proclaimed caliphate has taken deep roots in Syria and Iraq, and now has a presence in many more countries around the world; a rising, still-revolutionary Iran is using proxy forces to destabilize nearly every Arab state; the old order embodied by the secular dynasties of the Mubaraks, Assads and Gadhafis is shattered. Israelis disagree about nearly every political topic, but on the strategic picture there was basic agreement: As the state system splinters in the Middle East, the instability in this region will be chronic, and it will persist for many years. Escaping this conflict will be impossible. So think carefully how you want to fight a war in what the senior Israeli military official called “the center of a centrifuge.” — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 27, 1916: years “The breaking of ago a feed wire which IN 1916 supplies the socalled ‘Tennessee street student district’ last night caused more than 1,000 students to start a mad search for lamps, candles, torches, or anything that would enable them to see the print in their books, for dozens of mid-year examinations were scheduled to take place at the University this morning.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Trump not a credible conservative leader When the publisher of National Review Magazine, Jack Fowler, called and asked me to write 300 words on why I oppose Donald Trump for president of the United States, my first thought was about the derision that was sure to come from Trump supporters. I was not disappointed, or rather I am disappointed that no one who reacted negatively rebutted any of the arguments I, or the other contributors, made about why we think a President Trump would not pursue conservative goals. Sounding like Trump, I was called a “loser” and someone for whom one writer said he had “lost all respect.” Sure, there were some who called me “brilliant” (I’m filing those away), but the name-callers resembled their political master. Trump also refused to address our arguments. Instead, he mislabeled the magazine a “dying newspaper” and said it had lost circulation and no one reads it. Many are reading this issue. One friend said he is convinced that Trump is “teachable and we can move him in the right direction.” On June 14, Trump will be 70 years old. By then, most people have long been settled in their worldview. Trump

Electing a president, especially in a dangerous world, is important work. Anger and emotion should not govern the choice. Considered judgment should.”

likes to cite Ronald Reagan, who was a Roosevelt Democrat before he famously said he didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the party left him. But Reagan spent many years honing his conservative principles in speeches, articles, and radio commentaries. He did not have, as some nominees to high office experience, a “confirmation conversion.” Quoting myself would be redundant (read us all at National Review.com), so here is the key paragraph from the lead editorial: “Trump’s politics are those of an averagely well-informed busi-

nessman: Washington is full of problems; I am a problem-solver; let me at them. But if you have no familiarity with the relevant details and the levers of power, and no clear principles to guide you, you will, like most tenderfeet, get rolled. Trump has shown no interest in limiting government, in reforming entitlements, or in the Constitution. He floats the idea of massive new taxes on imported goods and threatens to retaliate against companies that do too much manufacturing overseas for his taste. His obsession is with ‘winning,’ regardless of the means — a spirit that is anathema to the ordered liberty that conservatives hold dear and that depends for its preservation on limits on government power.” In the February 1 issue of The Weekly Standard, Stephen F. Hayes writes: “The Republican frontrunner is a longtime liberal whose worldview might best be described as an amalgam of pop-culture progressivism and vulgar nationalism. His campaign rallies are orgies of self-absorption, dominated by juvenile insults of those who criticize him and endless boasting about his poll numbers. He’s a narcissist and a huckster, an opportunist who not only failed to join conser-

vatives in the big fights about the size and scope of government over the past several decades but, to the extent he was even aware of such battles, was often funding the other side, with a long list of contributions to the liberals most responsible for the dire state of affairs in the country, including likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.” What is the counter argument to these substantive opinions? Anger against the “Washington establishment” is not one. Those who worship Trump have an obligation to say why he is worthy of their faith. Given his liberal background and poor explanations of why he now believes differently, how do his supporters know he will govern conservatively should he win the White House? He once said his sister, who is pro-abortion, would be an excellent nominee to the Supreme Court. His story of how he supposedly became a pro-life convert lacks credibility. Electing a president, especially in a dangerous world, is important work. Anger and emotion should not govern the choice. Considered judgment should. Trump appeals to the former, but not the latter. — Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Content Agency.

USA TODAY GOP POWER RANKINGS

The rankings (last week)

In the final week of our GOP Power Rankings, the big winners are Donald Trump, social media and authenticity. For 22 weeks, USA TODAY has been asking a panel of political experts who they think is the strongest candidate in the Republican field. We are suspending our survey after this week’s edition because, starting with the Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses, the voters will begin ranking the candidates for us.

1. Donald Trump (1) 2. Ted Cruz (2) 3. Marco Rubio (3) 4. John Kasich (6) 5. Jeb Bush (5) 6. Chris Christie (4) 7. Ben Carson (7) 8. Rand Paul (8) 9. Carly Fiorina (9) 10. Mike Huckabee (10) 11. Rick Santorum (11) 12. Jim Gilmore (12)

Donald Trump in Pella, Iowa.

He’s ‘rewritten the rule book’

Iowa governor says he sees Trump differently now. IN NEWS

For the final week of our Power Rankings, as in the first week and all but five of the survey, Trump is out front. In fact, with the Iowa caucuses less than a week away, Trump appears stronger than ever. He received 26 first-place votes this week, the most he ever received from our panel. It is a complete reversal from the end of September, when the general consensus of our experts was that Trump had peaked, that his spats with various candidates and public figures were wearing thin. Carly Fiorina and Marco Rubio were trending upward based on strong debate perfor-

mances, and national polls showed Ben Carson tied with Trump for the lead. But week after week, Trump proved he had staying power just by continuing to be Donald Trump. “The enduring lesson from this (campaign) season is that authenticity matters,” said Alex Smith of the College Republicans. “Young voters were decisive in the 2012 general election, and will be so again in 2016, comprising 20% of the electorate. What is the one trait that matters to them? Being who you say you are. For #nofilter Millennials, a contest between two candidates who are fearless in what they say and how they say it is likely to yield very interesting results.” v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Daring human smugglers use social media to lure Syrian migrants Despite risk of death, refugees are willing to pay steep prices for passage from Turkey to Greece

For all your candidate queries, a real-time response Google testing new search feature Paul Singer @singernews USA TODAY

Google is giving candidates a new window into your political searches — literally. Starting Thursday, Google is launching a feature that allows the presidential candidates of both parties to produce content that will appear in a special window on the results page when a user conducts a relevant search.

The content — text, images, even video — will appear in a carousel of eight cards the campaigns control. The cards will continually update and the older cards will get knocked off the carousel, but the older cards will not disappear from the Internet. If one goes viral, it will show up on a Google search on its own. The content on the cards can be words, pictures, even YouTube video and GIFs that will all load “natively” on the search page without clicking a link, though the campaigns can embed a link. The result is a cascade of shareable posts and images that looks

Google search results — whether it’s their thoughts on an issue, photos from a recent debate or their latest stump speech.” The service is still experimental, and Google will judge the results of the test before deciding whether to extend its use to other content providers. Google will also be using the carousel during Thursday’s presidential debate, which the search giant is co-sponsoring with Fox News. Google will host a “parallel debate” — anybody making a debate-related search will get a window with a selection of cards from various candidates on stage.

Branstad embraces Trump’s approach Iowa governor could help billionaire in his battle against Cruz

Trump ditches debate; Cruz challenges him David Jackson USA TODAY

DES MOINES , IOWA The first time Donald Trump arrived to campaign in Iowa, six-term Gov. Terry Branstad admits to being skeptical. “Initially, I thought, this isn’t going to last,” Branstad said in an interview with Capital Download one week before Iowa’s presidential caucuses. “He came to the Iowa State Fair, OK, and gave kids rides on his helicopter. Well, (I thought), this is kind of bizarre.” But in one more sign of the billionaire businessman’s growing acceptance among the Republican establishment, Branstad now sees Trump in a different way, admiring his draw among disenchanted voters and acknowledging his appeal as a strong leader. “He’s certainly rewritten the rule book,” Branstad told USA TODAY’s video series. “I mean, he had 1,700 people in Ottumwa. There aren’t that many Republicans in Ottumwa. So that’s a great turnout and I think that’s a tribute to the interest people have in restoring American greatness.” Those words echo Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.” Meanwhile, Branstad blasted

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for opposing the Renewable Fuel Standard, which mandates use of ethanol, as a wasteful government subsidy. “I want to make sure that Iowa voters know where the candidates stand on that issue,” the governor said. He predicted a radio ad now being aired by a pro-

Cruz super-PAC that blasts Branstad will “backfire.” “People of Iowa know I’m just a humble farm kid,” he said. Branstad isn’t endorsing Trump or anyone else in the Hawkeye State caucuses that launch the voting in the presidential campaign. But his largely positive assessment of Trump and uncharacteristically harsh criticism of Cruz could affect the pitched battle between the two men who lead GOP polls in Iowa.

Protesting “wise guy” comments from Fox News about his criticism of anchor Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump said Tuesday he likely won’t participate in Thursday’s Republican debate — and his campaign manager said later the GOP front-runner would in fact skip the event. “Most likely, I’m not going to be doing the debate,” Trump told reporters before a rally in Marshalltown, Iowa. Campaign manager Corey Lewandowski later said Trump definitely would not participate. Trump’s criticism led to pushback from Fox News, inCruz hopes to get a burst of momentum from winning the caucuses; Trump might become unstoppable if he decisively wins both Iowa and the New Hampshire primary a week later. The governor, now 69, is an Iowa institution. He was the state’s youngest governor when he first won election in 1982. After two separate stints in the office, last month he officially broke the gubernatorial longevity record that had stretched back to the

cluding one statement from the network earlier Tuesday that drew the businessman’s ire: “We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president — a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings.” Citing that statement, Trump said that Fox is “playing games.” Ted Cruz, battling Trump for the top spot in Monday’s caucuses, told talk-show host Mark Levin on Tuesday he would challenge Trump to a one-onone debate — “away from moderators he is so afraid of.” colonial era. Every year, he visits all of Iowa’s 99 counties. Branstad is low-key, plain-spoken and proud of his long tenure in public office — in many ways, the antithesis of Trump. Could a president who has never held any public office succeed? “Well, it certainly is unconventional,” Branstad acknowledged. “But we’re living in a very unconventional time.” Branstad predicts “gigantic” turnout at next week’s caucuses.

Straight talk has resonated v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Activist Deb Lucia agrees and thinks social media has been critical. “No one would have predicted Trump’s sustaining lead or that Cruz and Rubio are at the top with him,” she said. “Nether would have anyone guessed that Sanders is a contender on the Democratic side. This shows that the D.C. establishment has zero clue on how dissatisfied the American public is with the power class.” Lucia adds: “Maybe social media is the change agent that’s made it possible. People are getting more information about what’s going on in Washington and see ... that cronyism makes all the difference in who’s succeeding and who’s left behind.” Social media also allow candidates to seem more familiar to voters, said Aaron Ghitelman of Headcount. “Twitter, Facebook, Instagram are all forms of media that are supposed to capture honesty and frankness. We use social media to see what life is like for our celebrities. To hear what they personally think about issues. With Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders we now have candidates using social media effectively, the way many celebrities have.” Though not a single vote has

been cast, it appears thus far that the rules of political engagement have changed. “Traditional predictors of success apply no longer,” said Adam Sharp of Twitter. “Money raised and spent, endorsements received, years-old field infrastructure are now all secondary to the ability to deliver a compelling message directly to the voter base. We are in a new age of retail politics, where the one-to-one intimacy and authenticity of the handshake and ask for a vote can be executed at scale as candidates turn to Twitter and other tools to bypass the wholesale channels of the last half-century of campaign craft.” “Money still matters but not as much as it once did if you can create and control the narrative,” said lobbyist Paul Brathwaite of Podesta Group. But message still matters, digital guru Phil Musser said. While every election season is unique, and the lessons of the last are usually short-lived, there is a long-standing principle that remains true, Musser said — “A clear message, clearly communicated, matters most. See: Donald Trump.” Our panel unwittingly demonstrates how new the rules are this year. Asked to pick winners for the Democratic and Republican

caucuses in Iowa, they divided almost evenly in both races. Thirteen of our panelists predicted a Trump victory, 11 picked Cruz, one said Rubio, and the rest ventured no guess. On the Democratic side, 13 panelists predicted

a Hillary Clinton win in Iowa and 12 picked Bernie Sanders. Nathan Gonzales, a professional political handicapper, warned that until the voters vote, it is too early to try to draw lessons from the Season of Trump. “Anyone

who tells you they thought this is where we’d be before Iowa is lying,” he said. “And anyone who tells you now that they are certain where this race is headed is delusional.” But there is one guy who can claim some foresight. In July, former presidential candidate Herman Cain told USA TODAY that Trump was benefiting from the same tide that lifted Cain’s campaign in 2012: a sense among voters that they were “telling it like it is.” “The only people that think it’s out of the question (that Trump could win) are the people in the political establishment and people in, quite frankly, the liberal media,” Cain said then. No one is saying it is out of the question anymore.

drowned when their flimsy dinghy capsized. The Turkish coast guard said it was carrying out a search-and-rescue effort for 16 missing passengers. There have been at least 177 migrant deaths at sea in January alone. Adding to the danger of the voyage, the smugglers sell at huge markups counterfeit life jackets filled with packaging — rather than buoyant material — that actually causes migrants to sink faster. Facebook said in a statement to USA TODAY that “it’s against Facebook’s community standards to coordinate or encourage human smuggling, and we remove any such content as soon as we become aware of it. We encourage people to use the reporting links found across our site so that our team of experts can review content swiftly.” Malek Samiah, a Syrian from Aleppo, said the smuggling business is slightly slower but still steady, and he has slashed prices to $550, down from the going rate of $1,000 during the milder “boating season.” His complete package includes a private bus from Istanbul to the

He sends potential customers a video featuring a prior successful boat trip, packed with jubilant passengers in bright-orange life jackets, cheer-

ing as they approach the coast of Greece. Abu Alhakam, another smuggler, said he charges around $700 because his boats are “Russian,” and his crew has enough contacts throughout the journey to ensure it is sufficiently safe. He said that after Syrian refugees arrive at the Greek side, they will be registered into refugee camps either by the Red Cross or the Greek police and would have the opportunity to eventually be

transferred to Germany. Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos and other leaders have criticized Turkey for its lax policy toward smugglers, which he called a “type of slave trade” in a Jan. 18 interview with the German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung. “I have a strong fear that Turkish smugglers have the support of the authorities, in particular, border authorities who act like they have seen nothing,” Pavlopoulos said. Turkey has responded to such complaints by targeting human trafficking networks and arresting hundreds involved in ferrying migrants to Greece. After seeing a record number of migrants seek safety and more prosperous lives in Europe for two straight years, European leaders are facing an even larger

influx this year amid a growing backlash from their own populations. Turkey is host to at least 2.2 million refugees, many of whom fled their homes with only what they could carry on their backs. Many of an estimated 300,000 Syrian refugees in Istanbul survive outside of refugee camps without help from international aid organizations. Last year, more than 500,000 refugees arrived in Greece on flimsy rubber boats, and migration experts expect those numbers, along with the death toll, to rise. Last Friday, at least 43 people, including 17 children, drowned in the Mediterranean Sea between the coasts of Turkey and Greece. “Once again ... ruthless human smugglers at the Turkish coast crammed dozens of refugees and migrants in risky and unseaworthy vessels and led innocent people, even young children to perish,” the Greek shipping ministry said after Friday’s incident. The International Organization for Migration estimates that 45,361 migrants and refugees have arrived in Greece by sea so far this month, compared with 1,472 recorded by the Greek coast guard for all of January 2015.

SCREEN ALL ADULTS FOR DEPRESSION, DOCTORS TOLD Liz Szabo

Panel: Older folks, pregnant women, new moms especially benefit

USA TODAY

Primary care doctors should screen all adults for depression, an expert panel recommended Tuesday. In its previous recommendation, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which advises the federal government on health, had recommended screening adults for depression only when mental health services were available. In its new report, the task force said this limitation is no longer needed because mental health services are now more widely available than in 2009, when its last recommendations were published. Federal law now requires private insurers to cover mental health and physical conditions equally. “We’re hoping that our screening guidelines are an impetus to increase awareness that depression is common, it’s painful, it’s

costly and it’s treatable,” said Karina Davidson, a member of the task force and a psychologist with New York Presbyterian Hospital/ Columbia University Medical Center. The task force for the first time said screening benefits specific groups, including older adults, pregnant women and new mothers. In the past, there wasn’t strong enough evidence to weigh in on whether depression screening helps or hurts these groups. Davidson noted depression is often treated with medications, which could pose risks for fetuses or breast-feeding infants. Other groups face some risks from newer types of antidepressant medications, such as selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, the task force said. SSRIs are associated with an increase in suicidal attempts in adults ages 18 to 29, as well as an increased risk of stomach or intestinal bleeding in adults over 70. The task force singled out cog-

nitive behavior therapy, which has helped treat depression in pregnant women and new mothers and focuses on changing negative patterns of thought. Mental health advocates praised the task force’s recommendations, published in JAMA, The Journal of the American Medical Association. Major depressive disorder, a severe type of depression, is the leading cause of disability in wealthy countries such as the United States, according to the task force. Nearly 7% of American adults, or about 16 million people, had at least one “major depressive episode” last year, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Depression can be life-threatening. More than 41,000 Americans commit suicide each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More Americans now die from suicide than from car accidents. About 90% of suicides are related

to mental illness. A 2015 study in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry estimated that depression costs the U.S. $210 billion a year, with 40% of those costs related directly to depression, and the rest related to indirect costs, such as lost productivity. “Depression is a major source of disability, so we want to be sure to take every opportunity to get people the help they need,” said John Snook, executive director of the Treatment Advocacy Center in Arlington, Va. Primary care doctors, who treat patients for general needs, are in a good position to screen adults for depression, Snook said. That’s because people who suffer from depression may not seek out mental health care. Doctors can screen for depression by asking patients to fill out short surveys, often just 10 questions long, Davidson said. Health care providers aren’t obligated to follow the task force’s advice.

The Montefiore Health System helped cancer patient Jorge Telmerpaz avoid being evicted, which would have likely led to more hospitalizations. safety, and it is above-average on readmissions, Binder says. Minority patients have a higher rate of many chronic conditions, as well as a greater chance of having to return for a hospital visit after their first hospitalization. For diabetes patients, the highest rate of readmission was 15.9% for American Indian and Alaska Natives, followed by non-Hispanic blacks at 13.2%, Hispanic Americans at 12.8%, Asian Americans at 9% and whites at 7.6%. A 2011 study found higher readmission rates among black patients with congestive heart

failure, with the highest rates among black patients treated at hospitals with a predominantly minority population. Patients who were part of a new recommended discharge process at the Boston University Medical Center had a 30% lower readmission rate in the 30 days after discharge. That saved the hospital more than $400 per person. These patients were also more likely to know what their diagnosis was and to follow up with their primary care doctor. The prospective solutions go far beyond hospitals. The new

CMS guide, written by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital, includes examples involving telemedicine and partnerships with community groups. Reed Tuckson, a primary care doctor and former Washington public health commissioner, applauded the effort. “This is an American problem,” says Tuckson, who heads the American Telemedicine Association. “The culturally disadvantaged do face more challenges, but every one of us has a stake in this if we are concerned about other human beings.”

IN BRIEF SHOTS FIRED IN ARREST OF OREGON GROUP MEMBERS

Authorities say shots were fired Tuesday during the arrest of members of an armed group that has occupied a national wildlife refuge in Oregon for more than three weeks. In a statement, the FBI said one individual “who was a subject of a federal probable cause arrest is deceased.” No other information about the deceased was immediately released. The FBI said authorities arrested Ammon Bundy, 40; his brother Ryan Bundy, 43; Brian Cavalier, 44; Shawna Cox, 59; and Ryan Payne, 32, during a traffic stop on U.S. Highway 395 Tuesday afternoon. Authorities said another person, Joseph Donald O’Shaughnessy, 45, was arrested in Burns. Bundy’s group, which has included people from as far away as Arizona and Michigan, seized the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge on Jan. 2 as part of a long-running dispute over public lands in the West.

CALIFORNIA ESCAPEE LIKENED TO HANNIBAL LECTER

The manhunt for three Southern California men who escaped an Orange County jail last week entered its fifth day Tuesday with much attention focused on an escapee who has been compared to the brutal film character Hannibal Lecter. Hossein Nayeri, 37, had been held without bond since September 2014, charged with kidnap-

ping, torture, aggravated mayhem and burglary. Nayeri and two other men are accused of kidnapping a California marijuana dispensary owner in 2012, driving him to a spot in the desert where they believed he had hidden money and then torturing him. Deputy District Attorney Heather Brown told The Orange County Register that Nayeri was a likely candidate to have planned the escape. — John Bacon

HOME PRICES RISE IN NOV. Home prices increased at a faster clip in November, the gains fueled by solid hiring growth, historically low mortgage rates and a shortage of houses on the market. The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20city home price index rose 5.8% from a year ago, up from a 5.5% pace in October, according to a Tuesday report. Home values nationwide have nearly recovered from their July 2006 peak. Four metro areas — Dallas, Denver, San Francisco and Portland, Ore. — have either matched or topped their all-time highs.

A closely watched index of Americans’ perceptions of the economy and labor market increased to 98.1 in January from 96.3 the previous month, the Conference Board said Tuesday. Economists expected a reading of 96.5.

APPLE’S COOK SOUNDS WARNING ON IPHONE SALES

Volatile stock and oil markets have some investment strategists looking for the Federal Reserve to step in with a balm Wednesday by signaling more modest rate hikes this year than it had planned. But economists say the Fed is likely to acknowledge the global and market turbulence without indicating a change in course, especially with the economy turning in blockbuster job growth. “They don’t want to tip their hand one way or another because they don’t know,” says Barclays economist Michael Gapen. Futures markets give virtually no chance the Fed will raise its key interest rate after a two-day meeting, but analysts will scour its post-meeting statement for clues on future increases.

Earnings top expectations, but slowing growth leads to tepid forecast for 2016

Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Apple has entered a new slow-growth era of iPhone sales. The company sold 74.8 million iPhones for the last three months of 2015 — up less than 1% from the same quarter a year ago, marking the slowest increase for the device since it was introduced in 2007 and slightly less than the 75.5 million forecast by analysts. EPA Apple CEO Apple CEO Tim Cook Tim Cook warned of a tough beginning to 2016, including a yearover-year decline in iPhone unit shipments for the current quarter. The financial report and subsequent comments from executives during a conference call sent Apple shares down 2% in after-hours trading. Apple’s fiscal first-quarter results for the three-month period ended Dec. 26 were brisk. Its iPhone franchise contributed mightily to $75.9 billion in revenue, which rose 2% from a year ago but fell short of $76.5 billion forecast by analysts polled by S&P Capital IQ. Earnings for the just-completed quarter were $3.28 per share, compared with $3.06 a year ago and topping forecasts of $3.23 a share. Cook said the January-toMarch quarter will be rough, indicating slackening iPhone

growth. He estimated sales of $50 billion to $53 billion for the current quarter, short of the $55 billion forecast by analysts. “Economic challenges are all over the world,” Cook said in a conference call after the results were announced, emphasizing “extreme conditions” in several countries including Russia and Brazil. In China, sales rose 14% year over year, though he started to see slowness in the country — Apple’s second-biggest market —

in December. Jittery investors, pounded by a wobbly market and squishy global IT spending forecasts are worried how iPhone 6S and 6S Plus sales will hold up in the first half of 2016. A Nikkei report said production of the models was down 30% in the January-to-March quarter. Worldwide IT spending will improve a scant 0.6% to $3.54 trillion this year, from $3.52 trillion in 2015, according to market researcher Gartner. Apple’s other major products took a thumping during the quarter: iPad sales fell 25% to 16.1 million units shipped, and Macintosh sales slid 4% to 5.3 million. Yet the lure of Apple products and its sterling brand name remains irresistible to many. Among the bright spots: an increase in Android users who switched to iPhone, Cook said. In the fourth quarter, Apple was the only PC manufacturer among the top five to post yearover-year improvement in sales, Gartner says. Apple’s share of U.S. smartphone sales improved to 43.3% in 2015, according to eMarketer. (Android remains tops, at 51.7%.) There are 1 billion active Apple devices worldwide, counting iPhones, iPads and Macs. And many analysts anticipate blockbuster sales of iPhone 7, likely to land in September. Apple’s premium pricing has afforded it a vast pile of cash reserves — $216 billion and climbing — which gives it flexibility few companies enjoy. Apple is leveraging that loyalty with premium pricing “to be dominant in profit share rather than market share,” says David Rogers, who teaches digital strategy at Columbia Business School.

ANDREW HARRER, BLOOMBERG

Fed Chair Janet Yellen speaks in December after the central bank raised rates for the first time in nearly a decade.

Last month, the central bank lifted its federal funds rate by one-quarter percentage point, its first hike in nearly a decade, and projected it will continue to raise rates gradually, by another percentage point this year. Fed officials attributed the cautious approach to low inflation, weakness overseas and lingering, postrecession headwinds to growth. Economists figured that blueprint called for the next quarterpoint rate increase in March, with three more similar hikes in 2016. So far this year, however, news on China’s slowdown has become more dire, oil prices have tumbled further , and stocks are down about 6%, even after a recent rally. The dollar has continued to strengthen, which could further douse inflation. By slowing growth and inflation, Morgan Stanley reckons, these developments already have had the effect of four rate hikes. Money Manager Patrick Adams of Choice Investment Group wrote to clients the Fed on Wednesday should do “some serious back-peddling” on its outlook and rate increases. Some analysts expect only two hikes in 2016. But Gapen believes the Fed will hoist rates again in March as job gains outweigh the negatives. He believes the Fed will say it's monitoring the global and market troubles without warning they may restrain the economy. Contributing: Adam Shell

U.S. approves more business trade with Cuba New regulations put another dent in embargo, loosen rules on financing Alan Gomez @alangomez USA TODAY

U.S. businesses will have more freedom to sell products and services directly to the Cuban government under a new set of regulations the U.S. government unveiled Tuesday. In the 13 months since President Obama’s announcement that the Cold War foes would reestablish diplomatic relations, his administration has made it easier for U.S. companies to sell items directly to Cuban entrepreneurs MIAMI

to help them gain some economic independence from the communist government. The new regulations set to go in effect Wednesday would allow more sales to Cuban government entities so long as the transactions “provide goods and services to the Cuban people.” “These regulatory changes will ... facilitate exports that will help strengthen civil society in Cuba and enhance communications to, from and among the Cuban people,” Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, who visited the island in October, said in a statement. The announcement drew fire from critics of Obama’s opening with Cuba who say Obama’s moves to strengthen ties will only bolster a communist regime that has controlled the island and sup-

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe was part of a delegation that visited Cuba in early January, seeking to strengthen trade ties with the Communist country.

pressed personal freedoms for a half-century. “The Obama administration’s one-sided concessions to Cuba

further empower the regime and enable it with an economic windfall,” said Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a Cuban-American. “These regulations are more proof that the Obama administration’s intent has never been to empower the Cuban people but to empower the Cuban government’s monopolies and state-run enterprises.” Supporters of the opening say the administration’s efforts to facilitate trade and travel with Cuba is the best way to bring change to the island. Sen. Jeff Flake, RAriz., said it is time for Congress to take the next step of weakening or ending the economic embargo on Cuba, a broad restriction only Congress can lift. “After fifty years of regulatory

inertia, I am pleased to see a sustained effort to ease antiquated travel and trade restrictions toward Cuba,” he said. The departments of Commerce and Treasury have weakened the embargo by twice publishing new rules to make it easier for Americans to trade with and travel to the island. One of the changes will make it easier for Cuba to pay for U.S.made goods. Until now, when purchasing items from the U.S., Cuba had to pay up front or route the purchase through a third country, a costly and burdensome process the Cubans have complained about for years. The new regulations allow U.S. banks to provide direct financing for such exports, removing one of the biggest impediments to direct trade.

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

When the Federal Reserve breaks from its two-day meeting Wednesday, at least one Wall Street pro is hoping the Fed’s policy statement walks back Jan. 6 comments from Fed vice chairman Stanley Fischer suggesting that four interest rate hikes this year was still “in the ballpark.” But with the U.S. stock market off to one of its worst starts in history, oil prices wildly volatile and China fears still reverberating, Wall Street is seriously second-guessing whether now really is the time for the Fed to hike rates at the pace it has hinted since mid-December. Phil Orlando, chief investment strategist at Federated Investors, says there is now a “zero chance”

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

the Fed will tighten four times in 2016. And he believes Wednesday’s policy statement from the Fed is the time to let markets now they acknowledge the fresh headwinds and will adjust policy accordingly. “We believe (Fed Chair Janet) Yellen has to use the statement to try to reset expectations on Fischer’s comments, which were bearish for markets,” Orlando told USA TODAY. Orlando says Yellen, as she did last fall when she opted not to hike rates due to international turbulence and market volatility, should state it would be “inappropriate for the Fed to be aggressive in raising rates” until the outlook improves. “I believe the Fed will take more cautious, dovish, data-dependent approach to the rate cycle for the course of the year,” Orlando says.

Wireless carrier still has analysts seeing red ink Q: Can Sprint finally start to run? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: The nation’s smallest wireless telecom carrier is attempting to show investors it can be a contender. It’s going to take some more convincing. The company reported Tuesday that it lost 15 cents a share on an adjusted basis during the quarter. That was a relief for investors, who feared the company would lose up to 26 cents a share, S&P Capital IQ says. Shares of the company jumped 20% to close Tuesday at $2.99 a share. But this company is far from being out of its challenging situation of trying to get back into the black and reinvigorating growth amid tough competition. The company is expected to post adjusted quarterly losses at least until the first quarter of 2017, S&P Capital IQ says, which adds that revenue in fiscal 2017 is also seen as being up just 3% to $33.7 billion. Given that losses are seen continuing for the foreseeable future, it’s hard for investors to find a reason to be all that excited about the stock. Despite the fact Sprint shares are down 42% over the past year, analysts remain unconvinced there’s much value here. The average analyst thinks the stock could be worth $4 a share in 18 months, which is 33% upside, but getting there isn’t going to be easy given the pricing pressures in the industry. Analysts rate the stock a “hold.”

AIG announces reorganization, shuns Icahn call for breakup Paul Davidson @PDavidsonusat USA TODAY

AIG announced a major shakeup Tuesday that includes selling its network of independent financial advisors and reorganizing into nine business units, but the insurance and financial giant rejected investor Carl Icahn’s proposal for a breakup. “After careful consideration, AIG believes that a full breakup in the near term would detract from, not enhance, shareholder value,” AIG Chairman Douglas

MICHAEL NAGLE, BLOOMBERG

Steenland said. “A lack of diversification benefits would reduce capital available for distribution, and there would be a loss of tax benefits.” Criticizing the company as slow-moving and difficult to manage, Icahn last year called for

splitting it into three separate insurance firms handling life, property and casualty, and mortgages. Instead, AIG on Tuesday said it has agreed to sell AIG Advisor Group — one of the nation’s largest networks of independent broker-dealers — to Lightyear Capital for undisclosed terms. The unit has more than 5,200 independent advisors and more than 800 employees. The company also said it will: uRestructure into nine business units that include individual retirement, and health and disability in the consumer segment, and liability and property in com-

mercial. AIG said the move “will decentralize decision-making, provide more accountability to business leaders and allow for migration to a more variable cost structure.” The company said it will have the option of taking the divisions public or selling them. In a note to clients, Citigroup analyst Todd Bault said the reorganization is “as close to a breakup as possible without breaking up.” uReturn at least $25 billion of capital to shareholders over the next two years through dividends and stock buybacks. uCut $1.6 billion in costs in

two years, or 14% of its gross operating expenses, by streamlining operations and other moves. “With these actions, AIG has taken another major step in simplifying our organization to be a leaner, more profitable insurer, while continuing to return capital to shareholders and improve shareholder returns,” CEO Peter Hancock said. Bault said the plan is “much more aggressive than previous presentations. These may be difficult goals to achieve, but if achieved it would represent significant improvement over past efforts.”

Beware the slippery gym. It’s a lesson the T-Birds and Pink Ladies learned quickly, three weeks before Grease: Live! airs Sunday (7 p.m. live ET/delayed PT) on Fox. “The hardest part I think we’re all having right now is the fact that the floor is so slippery,” says Julianne Hough, who will play Sandy. Her words are prescient: One hour later, the cast is rehearsing an updated hand jive when Aaron Tveit (Danny Zuko) skips backward on Rydell High’s fake wooden floorboards and falls to the ground. The song quickly cuts. Tveit hops off as Hough runs after him. Ice. Compress. Elevate. An hour later, Danny Zuko is back. “Actors and dancers actually share (bounce-back traits) with athletes,” says director Thomas Kail, fresh off directing the Broadway smash Hamilton. “It’s part of just spending that much time drilling anything — you get banged up a little bit.” Grease: Live! is Fox’s first foray into live scripted musicals as the network chases NBC’s success with The Sound of Music and The Wiz. With Grease, Fox ups the ante with a live studio audience of 700, outdoor scenes, Jessie J on deck to perform Grease (Is The Word) and Boyz II Men cast as

Abe Vigoda brought art to the ‘old soul’ Long, dour features defined the career of the actor, who died Tuesday

Robert Bianco USA TODAY

Even when he was relatively young, Abe Vigoda seemed old. Which may be why many of us thought age would never catch up to him — and why some of you may have thought it already had, after premature reports of his death began circulating decades ago. Tall, lanky, comically grim, with a perpetual hangdog expression on his face and a moan in his voice, Vigoda, who died Tuesday at 94, got his show-business start in the theater. He made his first TV appearance in 1949 but didn’t break through till two decades later, when he was in his 50s. But boy, did he break through — first in 1972, as the ill-fated Corleone confidante Sal Tessio in The Godfather, and then, more iconically, in 1974 as Detective Phil Fish in ABC’s classic cop comedy Barney Miller. Fish. It was a name that fit the Brooklyn-born Vigoda’s style, and a character that became so iden-

tified with him that he never broke free. Old, tired, constantly complaining about his feet, his hemorrhoids and his wife, Bernice, Fish was Barney Miller’s everyman elder statesman, a representative of a New York that seemed to be vanishing in the ’70s but may have been more tenacious than we imagined. Barney was a popular show and

Fish was its most popular character, which became a blessing and a curse to Vigoda. Two years into Barney’s run, that popularity led to a spinoff, Fish, that even at the time was considered ill-advised. For a brief while he appeared in both shows, but by the fall of 1977 he was off on his own — and by spring of 1978, his own show was canceled. Barney ran on until 1982 without him, save for one guest appearance in 1981. He was only 57 when Fish went off the air, but that role had branded him, not just as an old man but as an old man nearer to death than thee. Indeed, hoaxes about his death became a recurring joke, on Late Night With Conan O’Brien and elsewhere. And while Vigoda laughed them off, they surely took their toll on his career in an industry that puts such a premium on youth and vigor. Vigorous was never Vigoda’s comic trademark. But goodness, for a while there, did he make ill health seem like the funniest thing on earth.

David Letterman once tried to summon Vigoda’s ghost on Late Night. “I'm not dead yet, you pinhead,” Vigoda declared.

Kansas surely isn’t the best bet

It’s as if the 19-point loss at Oklahoma State never happened in the minds of those who set odds, the bettors who move them, and the voters entrusted with ranking the nation’s top 25 college basketball teams. Vegasinsider.com offers odds on winning the NCAA title, a tournament that concludes April 4th. The only school with a better chance to win it all than Kansas and Oklahoma, which both are listed at 7/1, is North Carolina at 13/2.

Clippers’ Griffin may miss six weeks Indianapolis — Blake Griffin will be out for as long as six weeks with a broken shooting hand after punching a Los Angeles Clippers staff member during a road trip. The standout forward underwent a procedure and was treated by an orthopedic surgeon after returning early to Los Angeles from a five-game road trip, the team said Tuesday. He has a spiral fracture of the fourth metacarpal in his right hand. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and coach Doc Rivers, who is also president of basketball operations, said Griffin threw the punch last Saturday in Toronto. “This conduct has no place in our organization and this incident does not represent who we are as a team,” Ballmer and Rivers said in a joint statement. “We are conducting a full investigation with assistance from the NBA. At the conclusion of the investigation, appropriate action will be taken.” Griffin had X-rays Monday and his recovery is expected to last four to six weeks, meaning he will miss the All-Star game Feb. 14 in Toronto, where he could have been picked as a reserve. The hand fracture comes just as Griffin was nearing a return from another injury. He has been out since Dec. 26 with a partially torn left quadriceps tendon. The Clippers are 11-3 in Griffin’s absence.

TENNIS

Kerber, Konta reach semifinals Melbourne, Australia — Angelique Kerber and Johanna Konta advanced to the Australian Open semifinals Wednesday on another day when the integrity of tennis was part of the tournament conversation. The first Grand Slam of the season has been overshadowed from the start by media reports alleging that tennis authorities had failed to thoroughly investigate evidence of match-fixing. On Wednesday, just as Kerber began her 6-3, 7-5 win over two-time champion Victoria Azarenka in the quarterfinals, the governing bodies of tennis announced they will commission an independent review of their anti-corruption unit to restore “public confidence in our sport.” In announcing the review, ATP Chairman Chris Kermode said the reports had “caused damage to the sport,” which compelled the major stakeholders in tennis — the International Tennis Federation, ATP and WTA tours, and the four Grand Slams — to take quick action to address the issue. A BBC and Buzzfeed News report which coincided with the start of the Australian Open alleged 16 players — all ranked at some stage in the top 50 — had been flagged for being involved in matches where suspicious betting activity was detected. No players were identified and no specifics were published, and many critics believed the data was based on matches that had already examined. Philip Brook, chairman of the Tennis Integrity Board, said while the reports “did not reveal anything new, it was widely written about and has caused damage to our sport.” With that going on in the background, Konta went on court and beat Chinese qualifier Zhang Shuai 6-4, 6-1 to become the first British woman since 1983 to reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam.

He briefly returned before trainers escorted him back under the stands. The Raptors offered no immediate update on his status.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Kansas picks up quarterback By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Tyriek Starks, a twostar quarterback from New Orleans who threw for more than 4,000 yards and ran for 1,000 more in 2015 orally committed to join Kansas University’s 2016 recruiting class on Tuesday night. Starks picked KU over finalists Georgia Southern and Tulane and announced his decision with a note on Twitter. “Behind every Principle is a Promise,” the note began. “I would like to thank every college who has given me the op-

eight straight points with two triples. “Coach (Jeff) Haas, one of our assistants, said, ‘Are you ready to go back with the first group?’ I said, ‘No, let’s just see how the second group looks,’” FSHS coach Sam Stroh said. “Next two or three possessions they scored. We’ve got confidence in them. That’s something we kind of tell the guys. The next guy has to step up.” Playing off of the bench, players know their roles. Cordes is a deep threat, Tochtrop is turning from an energetic defender into an energetic scorer, and Clark provides a post presence in the paint. Clark finished with eight

player on our team (18). But it’s like we talked to Svi: ‘We can’t keep using youngest as a reason why. You’ve been here long enough to go out and make plays.’ “When you have won the league as many times as we’ve won it in a row (11), there are actually teams that get really, really up to play against you. It matters to their kids, too,” Self continued. “It matters to our kids a ton. Our kids are operating under pressure without question. I think a lot of people don’t realize kids operate under pressure and sometimes people react differently under pressure than what other people react

portunity to play on the next level. With prayer and family guidance I have (decided) to spend my next four years at the University of Kansas. Rock Chalk Jayhawk.” The 6-foot-2, 188-pound QB who led Warren Easton High to the state semifinals last season, took an official visit to KU last weekend. He attended the KU-UT men’s basketball game and said he was blown away by the atmosphere and excitement of the fan base. “(KU) is a really nice school,” Starks told JayhawkSlant.com’s Jon Kirby prior to his visit.

“Coach (David) Beaty told me they are in the process of rebuilding the program. I told him about my history here and how Warren Easton came from basically the bottom to build a program. So I am familiar with the situation and what they’re going through right now.” With depth and a handful of different options piling up at the QB position, the Jayhawks were not believed to be in the market for a quarterback in the 2016 recruiting class. But a recent trip by Beaty to Louisiana, where he went to recruit a handful of prospects at power-

house Neville High, led Beaty to discover Starks and KU put the full-court press on from there. Clocked at 4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash, Starks seems to have the size, speed and athleticism to run the kind of offense Beaty and offensive coordinator Rob Likens began installing last season. Starks’ commitment brings KU to within two spots of being full in the current class. A few 2016 prospects who remain undecided will visit KU this weekend, the final recruiting weekend before the Feb. 3 national signing day.

points and a game-high eight rebounds. Lewis, a hard-nosed rebounder, always knows how to be in the right spots on offense. Junior Jay Dineen, a middle linebacker in football,

provides energy on both sides of the court and sophomore Simon McCaffrey is a reliable point guard, setting up his teammates for open shots. “A lot of teams, you take away a couple of players and they are out of the game,” Cordes said. “I feel like you can’t really scout us that well because if you take away two players, we’ve got five more.” The strong play off of the bench sparked Free State’s starters at the end of the first half. Senior Hunter Gudde, who scored a game-high 17 points, had six points in a two-minute stretch and senior point guard Kristian Rawls added two layups on drives to the rim. “We all have the same confidence,” Clark said. “We come out and play hard.”

In the second half, the Firebirds (10-2, ranked No. 6 in Class 6A) had trouble pulling away from the Lions. Free State led by 14 points in the third quarter after a layup by junior guard Jacob Pavlyak, but Lansing (5-6) responded with a 8-0 run. Free State’s second unit, off of the bench, provided another lift. Dineen scored on a layup while being fouled and the Firebirds held the Lions scoreless for the final three minutes of the period. Lansing was never any closer than nine points in the fourth quarter. “Toward the end of the year we might have to go to seven, eight or nine guys,” Stroh said. “But heck, tonight we played 12 guys. I thought every guy did something to help us win.”

to under pressure. It’s not like it’s all fun and games and we’re playing Chaminade and you can shoot and miss and it doesn’t matter. This is every possession matters. Not making excuses for our guys, that’s the reality of it.” Self said after looking at the tape, he thought the Jayhawks played well at Iowa State except for a five-minute second half stretch in which ISU took advantage of five KU turnovers in an 11-0 run that won the game. “I thought the first half was excellent. We were unlucky to only be up seven at half. We probably played better than that. The ball moved and we did some good things. We didn’t really stick together whenever it got to really nut cutting time to be candid,” Self said. “When it’s winning-time

CHAI SPICE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

By Meera Sodha

Associated Press

Start to finish: 2 hours 25 minutes (25 minutes active) Makes 48 truffles

Ingredients: 8 ounces dark chocolate, roughly chopped 1 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground dry ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 cup cocoa powder Directions: Set the chocolate in a medium bowl. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium, combine the cream and butter. Heat until the butter melts and the cream starts to bubble. Be careful not to burn the cream. Pour the hot milk mixture over the chocolate, whisking to melt the chocolate until you have a smooth mixture. Add the cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and sugar. Mix well, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. To make the truffles, place the cocoa powder in a bowl to one side. Using a melon baller or small cookie scoop dipped in hot water, scoop out a little of the firm chocolate mixture and shape into a ball. To coat, roll around in the bowl of cocoa powder until well covered. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

ter in advance and leaving it overnight in the refrigerator. Just add a couple tablespoons of extra milk and about 15 seconds extra cooking time. I like to use a mix of almond flour or coconut flour to add filling fiber, protein and satisfying fat, plus just a little regular flour (either all-purpose flour or any gluten-free 1-for-1 substitute) for a fluffy texture. Note that coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid, so you may have to add extra liquid depending on how much coconut flour you use. But somehow eating a muffin with a spoon makes the recipe more forgiving, so feel free to branch out and make this your own.

Ingredients: 2 tablespoons almond flour (meal) 1 tablespoon coconut flour 2 tablespoons quinoa flour (or other gluten-free substitute or all-purpose flour) 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar, plus 1 teaspoon 3/4 teaspoon baking powder Pinch kosher salt 1 egg 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted (or neutral oil) 1/4 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt 1/4 cup milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 teaspoons low-fat cream cheese Cinnamon, to garnish

there are a lot of ingredients that have to get poured into a cup to make just one muffin (and what about making more than one?). So, a bowl it is. My recipe is for two muffins (perfect romantic retreat food!), but it will scale up no problem (for when romance leads to a gaggle of kiddos!). And here’s a bonus: You can save time by making the bat-

all ... But offer me something hot and cheesy and golden on top, and you’d better watch your fingers. This dip makes no pretense at healthfulness. Because it’s the Super Bowl! Not the day to start your diet. I don’t know about you, but I like my healthy foods healthy, and my decadent foods decadent. Still, if you insist, you certainly can pick and choose among the ingredients and decide where you want to slim down the dish. You could, for example, use reduced-fat shredded cheese or Neufchatel (low-fat cream cheese) instead of regular. And while we’re talking substitutes, you could use fresh spinach in this recipe, but frozen is just fine (and so convenient). If you are bringing this to someone’s house, you’ll need to heat it there, which means you’ll absolutely need to clear this with the host ahead of time.

Directions: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, quinoa flour, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the egg, oil, yogurt, milk and vanilla, then whisk until well mixed. Coat two 8-ounce mugs with cooking spray. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter into each mug. Top each with 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Divide the remaining batter among the 2 mugs. Sprinkle with cinnamon and the remaining teaspoon of brown sugar. One at a time, microwave on high for about 1 minute 15 seconds, or until the muffin is dry on top (timing will vary by microwave). Let cool a few minutes before eating.

Directions: Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a shallow, 4-cup baking dish or 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
