n September, a few dozen volunteers counted bicyclists and pedestrians at 22 locations across Lawrence, hoping to discover more about how many people walk and bike, and where they’re doing it. Now, data from the count are ready to be used to inform the city’s decisions on infra-

structure projects, said Jessica Mortinger, a senior transportation planner with the city. Because of the upcoming reconstruction of Kasold Drive, locations on that street were included in the 2015 count. “We hear often from the community this desire for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure,” Mortinger said. “So documenting how that’s being used, our existing infrastructure, is

Topeka — The Kansas House voted Wednesday to advance toward final action on a proposed constitutional amendment that would change the way state Supreme Court justices are selected, but the 69-53 vote was far short of the two-thirds majority, or 84 votes, needed to pass the measure. A final vote in the House is scheduled for today. The measure calls for adopting what some had called a “federal model” for selection in which the governor would appoint justices, subject to LEGISLATURE Senate confirmation. It would replace the current “merit selection” process that has been in place since 1959 in which an independent, nonpartisan nominating commission made up mostly of lawyers screens candidates and submits three names from which the governor selects.

Senate OKs marijuana bill Topeka (ap) — The Kansas Senate has overwhelmingly approved a bill that would lessen penalties for first and second-time marijuana possession. The vote Wednesday was 38-1. The measure would reduce the punishment for first-time misdemeanor possession to

six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, rather than the current year in jail and $2,500 fine. A second possession conviction would no longer be a felony, so an offender wouldn’t be sent to prison. The measure goes next to the House, which passed a similar proposal last year.

The lone vote against the bill came from Democratic Sen. David Haley, of Kansas City. He proposed imposing only a $50 fine for the first, second and third time a person is caught possessing small amounts of marijuana. The Senate voted 31-5 against Haley’s amendment.

Mortinger said. “Before, maybe it was not really desirable for the type of trips people wanted to take, or maybe people didn’t feel safe on it,” Mortinger said. “We really saw the increase in the number of people using the corridor. It goes back to the ‘build it and they will come’ philosophy of infrastructure and safety improvements.” The data will now be available to city engineers and the public works department when it’s planning projects, Mortinger said. Just last week, the city’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Task Force submitted a 37-page draft of its recommendations for improvements to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. It outlined problems for pedestrians and bicyclists in Lawrence, including gaps in sidewalks, broken sidewalks, unconnected bicycle paths and a fragmented network of organizations that advise the city on pedestrian and bicycle issues. The City Commission will discuss those recommendations with the task force Tuesday. Another survey Lawrence might consider doing in the future to better inform planners could focus on the motives of pedestrians and bicyclists, Mortinger said. That would include stopping bicyclists and pedestrians and asking where they’re going and why they’re walking or biking. “It would give us a better idea if they’re commuting or if it’s about destination or recreation,” Mortinger said. “Right now, we just have the numbers.” more than 80 percent of Kansas residents are projected to be living in metropolitan areas. A greater focus on urban populations will affect rural concerns over revenue, education funding and even political representation in Washington, D.C., if the slower population growth causes Kansas to lose any representation in Congress, Wedel said.

Teachers could be prosecuted under ‘harmful materials’ bill

From the Archives

————

Proposal stems from 2014 debate over sex-ed poster Topeka (ap) — Kansas lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow teachers and school administrators to be prosecuted for presenting material perceived as harmful to minors. The bill passed the Senate last year and was considered in a House committee Tuesday, the Wichita Eagle reported. It stems from a 2014 controversy in the Shawnee Mission school district over a poster in a sex education classroom that listed oral sex and other acts as ways people express their sexual feelings. Children could have been irreparably harmed by viewing the poster “because it affects their brains,” according to the bill’s sponsor, Republican state Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook of Shawnee. “State laws should protect parents’ rights to safeguard our children against harmful materials, especially in schools,” she said.

ic, educational, artistic or political value.” When Carmichael continued to press the issue, Pilcher-Cook said individual prosecutors and juries will be responsible for determining whether something is considered harmful material. The bill also would deter teachers from using inappropriate material in the classroom, according to Pilcher-Cook, who said the fact that the poster was “posted without fear is a problem in and of itself.” Tom Witt, a gay-rights activist who testified against the bill on behalf of his husband who’s a public school teacher, believes the bill is meant “to strike fear into the hearts of teachers.” “Here’s what my husband wants to know: Which of the books on the list are going to send him to jail?” Witt said. “That’s all we need to know.”

Teachers would face a fine or up to six months in jail if convicted of the charge. Opponents are concerned that educators would be vulnerable to prosecution for presenting controversial works of art and literature. Democratic state Rep.

Although finding consistent work is tough, Floyd Bledsoe has had his hands full, Glavin said. “He is really busy,” she said. “He has some speaking engagements, he’s working with the Midwest Innocence Project and he’s speaking out against the death penalty.” In the meantime he is still looking for more work, even potentially looking to use some of the skills he learned while incarcerated, Glavin said. “I believe he has training in plumbing and electrical services that he received while in prison,” she said. As of Wednesday morning, the account, which Glavin started on Monday, had raised $1,270 through the dona-

tions of 14 people. While the money raised so far is short of the goal, Glavin said it’s early yet and she’s received positive feedback from the account. Any money raised will go toward helping Bledsoe reclaim a piece of his own life and toward helping him recover from 15 years of wrongful incarceration. “I really can’t emphasize enough that because of the nature of his situation he is really in need of emotional support services that he cannot afford,” she said.

Be frank when friends talk too much about kids Dear Annie: I live in the same town as two friends from high school. One of these friends married right out of high school and starting having children. My other friend and I both went to college together, and then she also married and started her family. Neither of these women had a career outside the home. I, however, worked in a professional capacity until retirement, and I did not have children. We are now in our 60s. I love both these ladies and am glad we live in the same town. Here’s the problem: When I am with either friend individually, they will talk about a variety of topics with me, which I enjoy. However, when we get together as a threesome, these two mostly talk to each other about

Good shows abound on network TV Whether you’re a viewer or a reviewer, television comes at you like a landslide. There’s just so much of it. Sometimes you have to stop and appreciate just how much of it is good — and getting better. Tonight’s offerings include an audaciously ambitious dramedy, a cable comedy that challenges the very idea of “funny” and a miniseries biopic featuring an Oscar-winning actor at the top of his game. And that’s just tonight. Two out of these three appear on network television. None are on Netflix or HBO. “You, Me and the Apocalypse” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG) defies easy categorization. A dark comedy thriller imagining the end of the world through the actions of misfits on two continents isn’t your usual fare. Jenna Fischer shines as a wrongly imprisoned librarian mom tethered, both physically and metaphorically, to Megan Mullally’s white supremacist prison gang leader. It’s a team made in heaven. Or, perhaps the other place. Now in its second night, “Madoff” (7 p.m., ABC, TVPG) centers on the revelation of Bernie Madoff’s (Richard Dreyfuss) Ponzi scheme and his emergence as a villain to his colleagues, his investors and, most tragically, his family. You really have to admire how much Dreyfuss commits to playing Madoff, the most hated man of the 21st century who’s not named Osama Bin Laden. Not only does he present one of the most charming and seductive sociopathic characters in TV history, Dreyfuss is completely unafraid of looking terrible. He’s constantly slouching, patting his paunchy belly and, to use a Yiddish word, generally looking like a $30 billion schlub. He spends a great deal of this second night flat on his back, lying on the floor and groaning in pain. And Dreyfuss makes it all seem compelling! Not for every taste, “Baskets” (9 p.m., FX, TV-MA) invites the audience to endure the painful pretenses of Chip Baskets (Zach Galifianakis), a French-trained clown devoted to his artistry while forced to work at a rodeo in Bakersfield, Calif. “Baskets” asks us to identify with our hero’s hifalutin’ delusions while providing plenty of lowbrow sight gags, often in the form of Baskets getting knocked over by a steer in front of a roaring cowboy audience. Fans of the excruciating should not miss this peculiar gem. Tonight’s other highlights

join forces on “The Blacklist” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14). O An attack on his home and family leaves Will suspicious of everybody on “Colony” (9 p.m., USA, TV-14).

EDITORIALS

Worthy ideas A package of government reform measures proposed by a Lawrence legislator should get the hearings they deserve.

M

any Kansans probably could find a lot to like in a group of government reform bills filed Tuesday by Sen. Tom Holland, D-Lawrence. Four of the measures focus on accountability by state government and the groups that try to influence it. Two bills aimed at lobbying efforts would require disclosure of how much various entities spend on lobbying and ban gifts of food, drink or other items to individual legislators. A third bill would prohibit the three managed care organizations that contract with the state to run KanCare from making political contributions to legislators who serve on the KanCare Oversight Committee, which seems like a common sense idea. Another measure would expand the Kansas Open Records Act to cover application information for anyone seeking a governor’s appointment to a public position. Among other things, that presumably would end the governor’s policy of keeping secret the names of nominees for the Kansas Court of Appeals and other state court vacancies. All of those seem like reasonable ideas that merit consideration, but perhaps the best idea Holland is proposing is the creation of an independent, nonpartisan commission to redraw legislative and congressional district boundaries as required after each federal census. The proposed change should serve as a reminder of the ugly political mess that occurred in 2012 when legislators last attempted to redraw those districts. After months of fighting between conservative and moderate Republicans, state legislators were unable to agree on a boundary plan. With the deadlock threatening the upcoming election schedule, the redistricting was turned over to a panel of three federal judges who drew up the districts that currently exist. Although the situation in 2012 was extreme, redistricting usually is a contentious process that spurs considerable political infighting and wastes valuable legislative time. Most other states still follow the same system used by Kansas but some have formed commissions to help ease the process. A handful have independent redistricting commissions that attempt to minimize political considerations and draw district lines according to population and communities of interest. Such a system certainly is worth considering in Kansas — and now is the time. The closer the state gets to the 2020 Census, the more difficult it will be to consider any improvements to the redistricting process. Because Holland is a Democrat, it would be easy enough for the large Republican majority in the Legislature to ignore all of his proposals, including the redistricting plan. It would be nice if legislative leaders would recognize that good ideas can come from both sides of the aisle and give Holland’s measures the hearings they deserve.

GOP seeks Trump-free campaign Washington — When Huck Finn asked Tom Sawyer what a Moslem is, Tom said a Moslem is someone who is not a Presbyterian, which is true, but not the whole truth. Donald Trump says he is a Presbyterian (“I drink my little wine ... and have my little cracker”), which apparently was not good enough for enough of Iowa’s evangelicals. One person who left Iowa having earned the nation’s gratitude is Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse. He campaigned with three Republican aspirants (Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina) in order to advance this year’s most urgent

Monday’s record turnout for the Iowa Republican caucuses may be a sign of civic health. Or not. “ task, which is to elevate the Republican race by removing the Trump distraction. Given Trump’s sexual boasts (“If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would be a guaranteed best-seller”), Sasse tweeted: “You brag abt many affairs w/married women. Have you repented? To harmed children & spouses? Do you think it matters?” Noting Trump’s evident intention to replicate Barack Obama’s anti-constitutional executive authoritarianism, Sasse tweeted “You talk A LOT about ‘running the country’ as tho 1 man shld ‘run America.’ Will you commit to rolling back Exec power & undoing Obama unilateral habit?” Trump responded: “@BenSasse looks more like a gym

rat than a U.S. Senator. How the hell did he ever get elected?” Iowans who made up their minds in the last month broke heavily against Trump, perhaps a harbinger of voters everywhere recoiling from the prospect of this arresteddevelopment adolescent sitting in Lincoln’s chair. Cruz’s theory of the race, including the general election, is that he can locate and motivate voters who, having concluded that voting is futile, have turned away from politics. The 2008 and 2012 presidential elections were momentous because they empowered a progressive president to vastly expand the administrative state, often by unilateral executive actions. But the 2010 and 2014 off-year elections also were momentous. Although they substantially expanded the congressional strength of Republicans pledged to resist progressivism, subsequent events convinced a significant portion of the Republican electorate that those pledges were pointless — that only presidential elections are significant, because congressional power is insignificant. Monday’s record turnout for the Iowa Republican caucuses may be a sign of civic

health. Or not. Lincoln’s 39.9 percent of the 1860 popular vote is the lowest in history for an electoral vote winner, but the 81.2 percent turnout of eligible voters in 1860 is the second-highest in history: High turnouts can coincide with high anxiety about irrepressible conflicts. Distributional conflict is written in the arithmetic of economic sluggishness. Monday’s beginning of the 2016 nomination process came one week after the Congressional Budget Office issued its 10-year outlook, projecting cumulative deficits over the next decade at $8.5 trillion, resulting in a 2025 debt-service cost of $772 billion. And Iowans voted three days after the government announced the economy’s fourth-quarter growth rate of 0.7 percent, completing a lost decade — 10 years without a year of even 3 percent growth. Time was, Republicans preached realism about the demographic pressures on the entitlement state as every day 10,000 more baby boomers become eligible for Social Security and Medicare. This year, the subject rarely enters the political conversation. Time was, the Democratic Party was

Flag ban is a slippery slope By Jeff Southard

I have been following the recent developments at Free State High School concerning the display of a Confederate flag by a student. As I understand it, the flag was on the student’s vehicle and, so while on school property (the parking lot), it was not inside the school. While the articles to date do not expressly state, I also assume that the existence of the flag was brought to the attention of the school administration via one or more complaints from students. The alternative — that school administrators patrol the parking lot examining students’ vehicles — is troubling in Southard and of itself. Even assuming for the sake of argument that students’ complaints led to the school banning the specific display, the matter apparently will not end there. There is now a student petition being circulated to ban all such displays, on the grounds that it is creating a hostile environment that is fragmenting the school. The petition further cites the school’s policy against discrimination and harassment, as well as the historical antecedents of the flag itself. As the parent of children and stepchildren who attended Free State, I applaud the efforts of the students behind the petition. They demonstrate a serious-minded attitude that many of the current presidential candidates

YOUR TURN would do well to emulate. At the same time, I think that their efforts are misguided, as were the initial actions of the school administration. Giving lip service to free speech is one thing, while actually embracing it in all of its complexity is another. Put another way, it is not the ideas we agree with that need protection under the First Amendment, but instead the ones we find most distasteful. I submit the late Fred Phelps as Exhibit A. The destruction of free speech is rarely sudden, the example of Nazi Germany notwithstanding. It is usually eroded away gradually, little by little. If you doubt this, consider the following scenario, assuming the petition is granted. Native American students circulate their own petition, citing the hostile environment which they feel is created by the display of a particular flag. That flag, with its predecessors, serves as a constant reminder to them of centuries of mistreatment, oppression and outright genocide. The petition asks that its display be banned on school grounds. The flag in question? That of the United States of America. Hispanic students then join the petition, citing both past and current wrongs done under that flag. Historically, they cite the Mexican War, which even Ulysses Grant (no bleeding-heart he) called totally unjustified. In the present, they cite the disruption of families, the violation of human rights, and the loss of

life created by U.S. immigration policies. What is the administration now to do? While one might dismiss this scenario as absurd, what of others? Could a Palestinian student object to the display of an Israeli flag? Could a Korean or Chinese student, citing well-documented evidence of atrocities from the Second World War, do the same for a Japanese flag? Having started down the road of free speech limitation, where does it stop? Clearly, there are no easy answers to questions like the one presented by the Confederate flag issue. As the descendant of men who fought to oppose that flag and all it stood for, I personally have no use for it. I also respect the views of those who are offended by it, even on a visceral level. At the same time, I am very troubled that the administration at Free State High School is taking the easy way out. This event should be used as a teaching opportunity for all concerned, so that students can experience, on a first-hand basis, what being in the marketplace of ideas really means. After all, they cannot stay at Free State High School forever. Will the administration be there to protect them when they see the Confederate flag prominently displayed, as I have at football games in the South? Better they learn now what the protections of the First Amendment really mean, so that, should an occasion arise in the future, they will be able to claim those protections for themselves. — Jeff Southard is a retired attorney who lives in Old West Lawrence with his wife, Peggy.

at least thoughtful about its Keynesian economics. Today, the intellectual tone of the world’s oldest political party is set by Bernie Sanders, who thinks America has one problem, or perhaps 536: That, according to Forbes magazine, is the number of Americans in what Sanders calls “the billionaire class.” Sanders, a sandbox socialist, promises a “revolution” but actually represents dreary continuity with the current president, who has said ATMs and airport ticket kiosks cause unemployment. Sanders has similar economic sophistication: “You don’t necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants or of 18 different pairs of sneakers when children are hungry in this country.” It probably is too late for the Democratic Party to get what it needs, which is a third candidate, someone somewhat likable and somewhat plausible. It is not too soon to hope that Republicans will soon get what they need, which is a contest without Trump, who is a negative illustration of Emerson’s axiom that “the force of character is cumulative.” — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 4, 1916: years “One campaign ago of University of IN 1916 Kansas students for more ‘rights’ has been successful. It was announced today that hereafter the stacks at Spooner library will be open at night. However, the rules given by Miss Carrie Watson, the librarian, are explicit in stating that no books can be checked out after 6 o’clock. Further, the privilege of consulting books in the stacks will be open only to juniors and seniors.” “A case from west Lawrence will occupy the attention of police court Wednesday morning. B. T. Burton of 341 Michigan street yesterday swore to a complaint against E. S. O’Neil and Donald Roberts, charging disturbance of the peace. Burton charges that the men came to his home carrying an axe and threatened to break the door down. O’Neil and Roberts deny this charge. They say they had been working near with an axe and had merely gone to Burton’s house to learn when he was going to vacate the house, which belongs to them.” “Since 152 Lawrence children were taking fifth grade work in three schools it was necessary to form a fifth grade at the Cordley school to alleviate crowded conditions in the other buildings.

the Confederate and the United States flags from his vehicle. On Wednesday, the U.S. flag was still flying from the cab of the student’s truck, which was parked near the entrance of Free State. “I’ve had family from Arkansas, and I’ve also had family from the other side, so I fly the American and the Confederate on both sides to represent the people who have fallen in the Civil War,” he told the Journal-World. There is no Lawrence school or district policy banning the Confederate flag, but Free State administrators decided to disallow the student from bringing it onto school grounds because it was disrupting the learning environment, they said. But some Free State students would like to take that prohibition one step further, saying instead that since the flag has become a symbol of violent white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, it has come to foremost symbolize racism and violence against people of color. Without a specific ban of the flag, any future decisions regarding its display would be made on a caseby-case basis, and four Free State students are circulating a petition to create a districtwide ban. Lanice Brown, a junior at Free State, said she believes in the right to free expression, but said that when the school bans items such as bandanas for being symbols of gang violence, it should extend such bans to a flag that also symbolizes violence. “Because I wear a bandana and it doesn’t disturb anybody, but (teachers) say it refers to gangs, which is violent, so I can’t wear it,” she said. “And this flag represents hatred, it represents violence, but he was allowed to fly it. So I didn’t understand how he was allowed to do that, but I wasn’t allowed to wear

something that helped my hair stay back.” Brown said helping all students to understand the history of the flag and what it represents to many people is also part of the issue. Wednesday morning, a school club hosted a discussion about the flag that began with its history and evolution, including the recently invigorated debate about the flag’s display after images circulated in the media of Dylann Roof — accused of murdering nine black victims in a Charleston, S.C., church — posing with a Confederate flag. The discussion was part of the regularly scheduled meeting of the school’s “Can We Talk?” club, which is teacher-sponsored and focuses on racial issues. Brown said the student discussion was informative and open, with people expressing why they were or weren’t offended by the flag. “It was more educating people rather than bashing people, and it was an open discussion where everybody was open to other people’s ideas,” Brown said. “I appreciated the opportunity to hear what other people think.” About 35 students attended the discussion, which took place before school Wednesday. Eli Jost, a junior at Free State, also attended the discussion and agreed that it was helpful. “We didn’t hear from people that were pro-flying the flag or anything like that, so we didn’t really get to discuss racism as it pertained to Free State, but I think we did get to discuss racism more as a whole,” Jost said. “And I think that was helpful, just to have that discussion.” Maame Britwum, a senior at Free State and one of the four students who wrote the petition to create a districtwide ban, said understanding the history of the Confederate flag and what it has come to symbolize is a key factor in the student effort to prohibit it. She said that similar to the swastika, which once represented peace before the Na-

zis’ rise to power, the meaning of the Confederate flag has changed and cannot be disconnected from the KKK and other white supremacist groups. “When a group that has its basis in hatred, on oppression of groups of people, takes a hold of something and the symbol begins to change, you have to notice its change and say, ‘I shouldn’t be using this anymore,’” she said. Britwum said she doesn’t think the intent of those displaying the flag is always malicious, but that not to recognize its negative connotations negates a key part of American history. The petition to ban the flag districtwide is still circulating at both high schools. Britwum didn’t have an update on the number of signatures for the petition that is at Lawrence High, but said the Free State one has at least 200 signatures. Britwum said the thought process behind the petition was to ensure a safe learning environment for all students. “(The Confederate flag) makes people feel unsafe, it makes people feel uncomfortable, and the school isn’t meant to be a place where people are made to feel uneasy about being in the building,” she said. “It should be a place that’s welcoming. It should be a safe learning environment.” The petition cites six court cases involving school districts that have ruled in favor of a school environment free of disruption or upheld a school’s decision to ban the flag. The petition also states that allowing the flag to be flown violates Free State’s own discrimination and harassment policy. Any change to district policy would have to be discussed and voted on by the Lawrence school board in a public meeting. The students said because they are still collecting signatures, they won’t be putting forward the petition on the Lawrence school board’s next meeting Feb. 8 and instead are planning for late February or early March.

NFL must act now on issue of head trauma Stabler, Morrall latest in long line of victims

Nancy Armour

narmour@usatoday.com USA TODAY Sports

Nothing changes. Not a damn thing ever changes. Ken Stabler is found to have had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the parts of his brain responsible for memory and learning severely damaged. Hours later, The New York Times reports Wednesday that Earl Morrall, another Super Bowl quarterback, also had the disease. The immediate reaction is shock and sadness, and a few quiet minutes are spent reminiscing about their careers and lamenting the tragedies associated with their deaths. SAN

But that fades quickly in the glare of the Super Bowl spotlight, the siren call of the NFL stronger than any empathy or unease we might have. Just as it did when Junior Seau put a bullet in his chest. Or when Dave Duerson did the same. Or when Tyler Sash died at 27. And on and on and on it goes. Oh, the NFL talks a good game about caring for the health and safety of its players, toughening the return-to-play protocol and encouraging research of the longterm impacts of head trauma. But

NORRISTOWN, PA . Criminal sexual assault charges against Bill Cosby will stand and proceed to trial, a judge ruled Wednesday after a two-day hearing. Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill rejected Cosby’s motion to dismiss the charges of aggravated indecent assault stemming from an encounter in 2004 with ex-Temple University employee Andrea Constand. O’Neill ruled against Cosby’s argument that he had a deal with the then-district attorney not to prosecute in return for testifying fully in a deposition for a civil suit filed by Constand. Cosby argued that current District Attorney Kevin Steele should be dismissed from the case on the grounds of bias and politics. Steele defeated Bruce Castor in the district attorney race in November, promising to pursue Cosby and criticizing Castor for not prosecuting him 11 years ago. O’Neill ruled against Cosby on that matter, too. A hearing in the case is scheduled for March 8, when the focus will be determining whether prosecutors have enough evidence to put Cosby on trial. Cosby has argued the charges should be dismissed because of the delay — 12 years — between the encounter and the charges filed in December by Steele. The motion to dismiss based on the no-prosecution deal between Cosby and Castor took up two days of testimony in a hearing in a courthouse outside Philadelphia. Steele argued that Castor had no authority to unilaterally grant immunity to Cosby in 2005 and that such an agreement would have had to be in writing and approved by a judge to be valid. “A secret agreement that permits a wealthy defendant to buy his way out of a criminal case isn’t right,” Steele declared. Cosby’s lawyers argued that prosecutors can and do make noprosecution deals with defendants, and those deals are binding on future prosecutors. “This prosecution should be stopped in its tracks,” Christopher Taybeck said. “When a prosecutor gives his word, that’s something that is enforceable.”

Meet the folks who give money to billionaire Trump Some donors just dig the rich candidate Ledyard King and Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

Who gives money to a billionaire? The owner of a health food store in Naples, Fla. A retired phone company worker in Mesa, Ariz. The owner of a mobilehome park in Carson City, Nev. And hundreds more scattered across the 50 states. WASHINGTON

Newly released campaign-finance records show about 2,300 donations from individuals during the final three months of 2015 to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign even as he touted his ability — and desire — to selffund because he doesn’t want to be seen as bought by special interests. “It makes me feel good to do that,” said Tony Kapnisis, owner of Nature’s Garden, a health food store in Naples. “I know it sounds stupid. He doesn’t need the money. But, hey, I did it for me.” Kapnisis, who contributed $389 to the real estate mogul last

pany, paid the Trump campaign $218 for hats emblazoned with the candidate’s “Make American Great Again” catchphrase. “People are voting for him. People care about what he says, and they’re listening to him. And they’re supporting him by buying

hats,” Dietzman said with a chuckle. Under election rules, buying campaign swag counts as a donation because the goods generally cost candidates only a fraction of their retail price. A version of the bright-red cap Trump often wears at his rallies sells for $30 at his campaign’s online store. Blair Allen, who owns a mobile-home park in Carson City and donated $583 to Trump, said she’s drawn to him because she wants to elect “someone who isn’t owned” by anyone.

Cruz, Rubio claim power to unify party New Hampshire is new battleground after Iowa success David Jackson USA TODAY

HENNIKER , N. H .

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio scrambled across New Hampshire on Wednesday, seeking to capitalize on success in Iowa while taking political fire from Donald Trump and other Republican rivals. “What an incredible victory we had in Iowa,” Cruz told people packed into a conference room at New England College, saying his win in Monday’s caucuses showed what conservatives can do when they unite and work to get out the vote. “If we stand together, we will win,” Cruz said, urging backers to bring their friends to the polls Feb. 9. “If we win the New Hampshire primary, we will win the nomination.” While the Texas senator reveled in his Iowa win, the secondplace finisher, Trump, accused him of stealing the Iowa caucuses through unfair tactics that included spreading false rumors that Ben Carson planned to exit the race. Calling for an Iowa doover in a number of tweets, Trump said, “Ted Cruz didn’t win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!”

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., tries on a custom-made fire suit during a campaign event in Pittsfield, N.H., on Wednesday.

“If we stand together, we will win,” Ted Cruz said in an appearance at New England College on Wednesday.

Cruz responded to Trump’s fraud claim on Twitter, saying the New York billionaire was “very angry” with Iowa’s people who “actually looked at his record.” Rubio tried to maintain momentum from a strong thirdplace finish in Iowa, telling New Hampshire voters he is the best bet to unite the Republican Party and the conservative movement as they face a tough general election. “If I’m our nominee, I will win, and the Democrats know this,” Rubio told a packed room in Laconia. “I’m the one they don’t want to run against.” The Republican field shrank Wednesday as Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul announced he was ending his White House bid. “It has been a privilege to give

Trump enjoys big leads in New Hampshire, but other candidates are waiting to see if those margins shrink in the wake of the loss in Iowa. Most candidates went after Cruz and Rubio, particularly the latter. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who sees New Hampshire as a make-or-break state for his candidacy, described the Florida senator as “the boy in the bubble” who holds short town halls and avoids answering tough questions about his record. “Let’s get the bubble boy out of the bubble.” Christie said. “This isn’t a student council election. I’m ready to play — I hope he is.” He continued that theme during a Bow town hall, saying: “We’ve got people in this race who know a little bit about gov-

voice to the liberty movement in this race,” Paul said in a video on Fox News explaining his decision to suspend his campaign. “And I believe we have broadened the debate by being part of it.” Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, who won the 2012 Iowa caucuses but finished with less than 1% support there Monday, also exited the race. He announced on Fox News he was endorsing Rubio. Trump was not scheduled to stump in New Hampshire on Wednesday, so he could fulfill a long-standing commitment in Arkansas — but he hammered Cruz on Twitter throughout the day. As part of his tweet storm, Trump said, “Either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified.”

They’ve been first-term United States senators, but they’ve never run a thing in their lives.” Christie said at a stop in Concord that he sees the New Hampshire race as one between him and Rubio to become the main alternative to Trump. The primary “is now down to a choice between me and Marco Rubio, and everybody knows it,” he said. Trump and former Florida governor Jeb Bush have mocked Rubio for all but declaring victory despite his third-place finish in Iowa. “You are not going to be coronated,” Bush told Fox News.

Sen. Bernie Sanders and wife Jane O’Meara wave as they take the stage at New Hampshire’s Claremont Opera House.

DERRY, N. H . Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders made their cases to voters in New Hampshire on Wednesday, just six days before the state’s first-inthe-nation primary. Sanders went first at the town hall hosted by CNN, predicting a closer-than-expected primary despite his double-digit lead in polls over Clinton. “We have come a pretty long way in the last nine months,” he said, noting that at one point earlier in the campaign he had trailed Clinton by 50 points. “We’re going to work as hard as we can to win.” The town hall was designed to let New Hampshire voters pose questions about their top concerns to the two candidates. Chris Brownell, an audience member, said he makes $41,000 a year and questioned how he would be helped by Sanders’ plan to raise taxes to finance his health care plan. Sanders said the tax increase would be more than offset by the

$5,000 a year people would save by not having to pay health insurance premiums. “I’ve been criticized for this, but I believe health care is a right for all people,” he said. The Clinton campaign says progressives agree Sanders’ health care math doesn’t add up and that Sanders reversed his prior commitment not to raise taxes on the middle class to fund any proposal other than paid leave. Clinton has said she would not raise taxes on middle class families. Sanders came to the town hall fresh off a better-than-expected

performance at the Iowa caucuses, where he finished only 0.3 points behind Clinton in the closest contest in the state Democratic Party’s caucus history. So far, Sanders has refused to concede defeat. In 2008, Clinton edged Barack Obama by 2.6 points in New Hampshire’s primary. This time, RealClearPolitics’ average of the latest polls shows her trailing Sanders by 17.5 points. Heather Johnston, a 26-yearold benefits manager from Derry, said before attending Wednesday’s town hall that CNN asked her to pose a question about her top issue: student debt. Johnston graduated from Keene State College owing more than $90,000. She brought that down to $42,000 in five years, but said she couldn’t fulfill her dream of teaching high school because she wouldn’t have earned enough to repay her loans. She plans to vote in the Democratic primary but is undecided. “I feel like I’m in indentured servitude to my education,” she said. “Every time I get together with my friends, that’s our No. 1 topic of discussion.”

that’s just lip service. As long as a Case Keenum is allowed to stay in the game after his head slams into the turf and he suffers what the whole world could see was a concussion, we’ll be hearing about players dying of CTE during Super Bowl 100. As long as a repeat offender such as Vontaze Burfict isn’t ejected after another vicious hit — the one on Antonio Brown, Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell, take your pick — another generation of players will spend their last years in agony and anguish. “It takes a long time for many retired players to show symptoms, sometimes decades after they retire from the sport,” said Ann McKee, chief of neuropathology at the V.A. Boston Healthcare System, told USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday. “The improvements in concussion awareness and rule changes that we are currently seeing are important,” McKee added. “Major research is needed to answer a lot of questions we have about the disease, like identifying CTE in a living player when the disease is at its very early stages. That would give us a chance to treat it and possibly reverse it.” Major research requires major

But for a league that generated more than $10 billion in revenues last year — that’s billions, with a b — that’s peanuts. Imagine what a difference it could make if the NFL threw even one of those billions at scientists. Meanwhile, the NFL can stop perpetuating the lie that football is safe for children, something that seems more and more unlikely. Research increasingly indicates that it’s not only concussions that put players at risk for long-term damage, but the accumulation of hits, said Chris Nowinski, co-founder of the Concussion Legacy Foundation. So it stands to reason that the best way to limit that damage is to limit the length of time some-

We won’t make much of a dent in CTE outcomes unless we change what happens to football players when they’re

children. Even if we make the NFL the safest possible activity in world, that’s still only three years in 10-plus-year career.” Football is a violent, vicious sport, and the lies we tell ourselves to make it palatable are continually exposed. Quarterbacks were supposed to be at lower risk for CTE because they were

the most protected player on the field. Yet Morrall and Stabler make nine quarterbacks that have been found to have CTE. It is an equal opportunity disease, and no one is immune. Even the most fun-loving, devil-maycare stars can get chewed up and spit out. “Ken Stabler was a friend of my dad. I got to know him fairly well over the past years, and the NFL quarterback fraternity lost a great one, lost a legend, when we lost ‘The Snake,’ ” Peyton Manning said Wednesday when asked about the news Stabler had CTE. “What a prince of a guy.” As were all the others. How many more of the players we admired and idolized are going to die before there are substantive changes in the attitudes of the NFL and its players? How many husbands, fathers and friends will suffer before there’s a way to identify CTE while someone is still alive, let alone treatment? Another hundred? Two hundred? A thousand? The 50th anniversary of the Super Bowl is being celebrated with much fanfare. The best tribute of all would be a commitment to stopping the game from killing the men who play it.

Obama: Muslims ‘part of our family’ Rebukes bigotry in visit to mosque Gregory Korte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON In his first visit to an American mosque Wednesday, President Obama condemned “inexcusable political rhetoric against Muslim Americans that has no place in our country.” Speaking to Muslim Americans at the Islamic Society of Baltimore, Obama called for unity among American faith communities, recognized the contributions of Muslim citizens and asked for Muslims around the world to help combat the extremist ideologies of groups like the Islamic State. “The first thing I want to say is two words that Muslim Americans don’t hear often enough,” Obama said. “Thank you. Thank you for serving your community. Thank you for lifting up the lives of your neighbors and for helping keep us strong and united as one American family.” He decried the surge of threats

We’re one American family. And when any part of our family begins to feel separate or second class or targeted, it tears at the very fabric of our nation.” Obama’s remarks continued a not-so-veiled White House campaign to rebuff the campaign rhetoric of Donald Trump, who has promised to conduct surveillance on mosques and temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S. The speech comes amid an eight-day stretch during which Obama will have spoken to Jewish, Muslim and Christian audiences.

Controversial legislation that would put the nation’s air-traffic controls into private hands pitted pilots against many airlines and the people who manage the skies Wednesday. The legislation drew opposition from powerful lawmakers in both parties and support from the air-traffic controllers’ union, which said growing inefficiencies, dated equipment and unstable funding call for a drastic response. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., chairman of the Transportation Committee, who proposed the change said it would insulate the air-traffic control system from the funding whims of Congress, which shut down the government and furloughed air-traffic controllers during a budget fight in 2013. Shuster said the air-traffic conWASHINGTON

trol system under the Federal Aviation Administration is safe but “incredibly inefficient.” The problems, he said, “will only get worse as passenger levels grow and as the FAA falls further behind in modernizing the system.” Lawmakers and air-traffic controller organizations have proposed privatization at least eight times over the past 40 years. Dozens of countries have privatized their air-traffic systems, but skeptics question whether private systems, such as the one adopted in Canada, would work in the larger, more complex U.S. airspace. This time, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association backed the proposal, and Airlines for America, a trade group for most major carriers, said a private corporation governed by representatives of the aviation industry could move faster than the FAA to upgrade equipment and adopt more efficient flight paths. The opposition lined up even before Shuster introduced the legislation. House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers, R-Ky., and the top Democrat, Nita Lowey of

Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson called the proposal “unnecessary and unwise” in a Tuesday letter to Shuster.

MONEYLINE DELTA CEO RETIRING Delta Air Lines’ Richard Anderson will retire May 2 as CEO and become executive chairman of the carrier’s board of directors. Ed Bastian, Delta’s president, will succeed Anderson as CEO. And Glen Hauenstein, executive vice president, will become president. Anderson, who assumed the role of Delta’s CEO in 2007, helped guide Delta through a merger with Northwest that closed in 2008. LOWE’S TO BUY CANADA’S RONA FOR $2.3 BILLION U.S. home improvement giant Lowe’s Companies is buying smaller Canadian counterpart RONA in a $2.3 billion deal, the companies said Wednesday. Lowe’s is expected to pay cash and acquire all issued and outstanding common shares of RONA for $24 in Canadian dollars per share. The deal also calls for Lowe’s to pay $20 in Canadian dollars for all of RONA’s preferred shares. The estimated $2.3 billion transaction represents a premium of 104% to RONA’s closing share price on Tuesday, and a 38% premium to the Canadian company’s 52week high of $17.36 in Canadian dollars, the firms said. The deal would create Canada’s leading home improvement retailer with 2015 revenues of roughly $5.6 billion in Canadian dollars.

Embattled CEO says she has confidence in turnaround strategies Mike Snider @MikeSnider USA TODAY

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer took to the business TV news circuit Wednesday to discuss the company’s plans but stopped short of saying the Internet media company is actively seeking a buyer. The troubled online and mobile advertising and media company is streamlining its workforce and its product offerings while also looking to separate its 15% stake in Alibaba, worth about $25 billion, while considering offers for all or parts of its core Internet business. That was the message from the company’s fourth-quarter earnings announcement Tuesday. But when CNBC’s David Faber and Jim Cramer asked Mayer about whether the company was for sale, Mayer wouldn’t say.

Yahoo announced this week that it would eliminate roughly 15% of its workforce.

“I can’t speculate,” Mayer said, adding she wouldn’t comment on what all “strategic alternatives” the company might consider. “On the whole, our focus here is to maximize the tremendous potential we see at Yahoo,” she said on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street. The company has 1 billion monthly users including 600 million on mobile, she said. Investors weren’t reassured. Shares of Yahoo lost more than 7% Wednesday and closed with a 5% loss to $27.68, setting a 52week low. Shares have fallen 36% over the past 12 months. Mayer also declined to comment on a potential sale when she appeared on Bloomberg TV a few minutes later. “I will say Yahoo’s situation is complicated,” Mayer said. Yahoo Chief Finance Officer Ken Goldman offered a clearer answer to Barron’s on Tuesday, saying the company would consider offers.

@RogerYu_ USA TODAY

Sumner Redstone has resigned as board chairman of CBS Corp. and has been replaced by CEO Leslie Moonves, the company announced Wednesday, providing clarity as to the future leadership of CBS. Redstone, 92, formally resigned Tuesday and was named chairman emeritus of CBS, the company said. Speculation about Redstone’s health has intensified in recent months, triggering concern among investors of CBS and Viacom, another media company whose board is chaired by Redstone. “The Viacom Board of Directors is scheduled to meet tomorrow,” the company said in a statement Wednesday. Viacom owns MTV, Nickelodeon, VH1, Comedy Channel, BET and Paramount Pictures. Viacom didn’t elaborate, but investors and analysts expect the meeting

Moonves, who will stay on as president and CEO of CBS, was nomiGETTY IMAGES nated by RedRedstone stone’s daughter and vice chair of CBS’ board, Shari Redstone. CBS said Moonves’ appointment was confirmed by a unanimous vote of the CBS directors. “I want to thank Sumner for his guidance and strong support over all these years. It has meant the world to me,” Moonves said in a statement. Shares of CBS rose 4.6% to $50.50 in after-hours trading. Shares of Viacom were up 11.6% to $49.85. CBS said its board offered the position of non-executive chair to Shari Redstone before electing Moonves, but “she declined in light of her other professional and personal responsibilities.”

When Yahoo launched its initial public offering on April 12, 1996, it closed at $33. In early 1999, Yahoo shares would surge above $400. Then came the dot-com bust. Koogle was one of several executives that would announce their exit from Yahoo in March 2001 after reporting a huge quarterly miss.

Four months into the job, activist investor Daniel Loeb exposed inaccuracies in Thompson’s résumé, claiming he did not earn a computer science degree listed among his credentials. Yahoo confirmed the misinformation and launched a review of Thompson’s hiring. Thompson would depart Yahoo, replaced by Ross Levinsohn as interim CEO. Where is he now: Two months after leaving Yahoo, Thompson was named CEO of online shopping service Shop Runner, a position he continues to hold.

Marissa Mayer is the latest top executive at Yahoo to struggle with turning around the former Silicon Valley heavyweight. Here’s a history of the executives who have held Yahoo’s top job:

looking at us,” he told Barron’s. “I’m not saying that we’ve received offers. I’m not saying that at all. I’m saying parties have expressed interest in us. And what we’re saying is that we’ll be open to that.” Several big media and telecommunications companies could be interested in Yahoo, SunTrust Robinson Humphreys Internet equity analyst Robert Peck said. In addition to Verizon, other potential buyers could be Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, Disney or Fox, he said in a note to investors. Yahoo’s core business could be worth $4 billion to $8 billion, depending on the buyer, said Peck, who maintained a $40 target price for Yahoo stock. “The mere separation of the core from Alibaba ... would make any monetization of the core a positive for shareholders.”

Between failure to catch up to Facebook and Google and continuing to lag behind in mobile, social and cloud markets, Bartz was fired 2½ years later, replaced on an interim basis by chief financial officer Timothy Morse. During an interview with “Fortune” right after her dismissal, Bartz said Yahoo “f— ed me over.” Where is she now: Bartz remains a member of the board of directors at Cisco, a position she’s held since 1996.

Yahoo’s stock price surged under Mayer, as investors appeared confident in a turnaround. So far, it hasn’t happened, and shareholders are pushing Mayer to sell off its core Internet businesses and maintain its lucrative stake in Alibaba.

KIMBERLY WHITE, GETTY IMAGES

“Yahoo’s situation is complicated,” CEO Marissa Mayer says.

But so far Yahoo has been unclear on how aggressive it would be regarding a sale, Peck said. The complex plan and tempered forecasts left Nomura Global Markets Research analyst Anthony DiClemente discouraged, he said in a note to investors. The firm lowered its target price for shares to $34 from $40, keeping its Neutral rating and citing “the complexities of navigating the three different strategies at the same time.” Investment firm AllianceBernstein dropped its target price to $42 from $44 but kept an “Outperform” rating, saying Yahoo remains “primarily a bet on Alibaba’s value,” senior analyst Carlos Kirjner said in a note Wednesday. The threat of a proxy war when board slots come open this summer could be catalyst to the company’s move to simplify the business, he said. “It may be too little, too late.” Activist investor SpringOwl, whose managing director Eric Jackson has called for Mayer’s ouster, said Yahoo’s simplification strategy does not go far enough to address the issues “which have destroyed shareholder value.” While the board would deal with any potential sale, Mayer told CNBC that her focus would be on making Yahoo “the very best version of itself.”

Wells Fargo fined $1.2B for ‘reckless’ mortgages Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

NEW YORK San Francisco bank Wells Fargo on Wednesday said it has agreed to fork over $1.2 billion to settle allegations that it fraudulently certified loans in connection with a government insurance program. In a 2012 lawsuit, the U.S. government accused Wells Fargo of sticking it with “hundreds of millions of dollars” in Federal Housing Authority insurance claims as a result of years of “reckless” underwriting and fraudulent loan certification. As a result, FHA had to pay out insurance claims on thousands of FHA-insured mortgages that defaulted, the government said. Wednesday, Wells Fargo said it had “reached an agreement in principle” with the parties that brought the complaint. Those parties included the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S.

2011 PHOTO BY REED SAXON, AP

Manhattan Attorney’s Office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The settlement is expected to retroactively ding the bank’s 2015 net income by $134 million, or 3 cents a share, to $22.9 billion, or $4.12 a share, the bank said. The lawsuit alleged that Wells Fargo recklessly underwrote loans backed by FHA insurance

from at least 2001 to 2010. In that time, the bank certified more than 100,000 FHA loans as meeting HUD’s requirements and therefore eligible for FHA insurance, even though the loans had not been properly underwritten and did not meet HUD’s requirements, the lawsuit said. Wells Fargo also concealed 6,320 seriously deficient loans that it was required to self-report, the government alleged.

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

U.S. government bonds are in demand again. With markets experiencing turbulence and the global economy facing myriad headwinds, investors are again flocking to the perceived haven of bonds issued by Uncle Sam. Wednesday, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which moves in the opposite direction of price, hit an intraday low of 1.79%, its lowest yield since Feb. 5, 2015 — or a 12-month low. Investors’ renewed love affair with bonds also follows a weakerthan-expected January reading on the U.S. services sector, which is a key pillar of the consumer-focused U.S. economy. The weaker number led to speculation that the Federal Reserve would not

raise rates at its March meeting. Some pundits believe the bond market may be sniffing out a coming recession, or at least pricing in a greater probability of a slowdown, due in large part to global pressures from places such as China and emerging markets. The downward pressure on yields is causing pain in shares of banks, which benefit from rising rates as they can lend money at higher rates and benefit from a wider spread5-day between they avg.: rates-4.34 charge borrowers 6-monthand avg.: interest -19.83 they pay savers.

Analysts bullish, but it’s hard to get very excited

Q: Is Yahoo an opportunity? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Shares of Internet portal Yahoo are in a world of hurt. CEO Marissa Mayer thinks the company is fixable — but investors aren’t so sure. Yahoo’s stock has been a horror show amid an already scary stock market. Shares of Yahoo have lost 35% of their value the past 12 months — as the Standard & Poor’s 500 has dropped 7%. Not only is Yahoo’s business of selling advertising struggling, but the company’s stake in Chinese e-commerce site Alibaba has taken a hit from a 30% decline in the value of that stock the past year. Analysts continue to stand by Yahoo’s stock — likely because they’re eyeing the company’s 15% piece of Alibaba that’s worth nearly $26 billion. Yahoo’s entire market value is about $26 billion — even though it’s sitting on $6 billion in cash and short-term investments in addition to its Alibaba stock. Analysts think Yahoo’s shares will be worth $38.22, or 38% more than Wednesday’s closing price of $27.68 each. Just looking at Yahoo’s earnings and revenue, it’s hard to get too excited. Adjusted profit is expected to fall 12% and revenue drop 13% this year, S&P Capital IQ says. The stock is rated “dangerous” by New Constructs based on the present value of its future expected cash flow.

Home Depot springs into action, plans 80,000 seasonal hires Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Home Depot is on a hiring spree as the company boosts seasonal staffing for its busiest selling period. The nation’s largest home improvement retailer said it plans to hire more than 80,000 sales associates nationwide to ensure that Home Depot’s nearly 2,000 stores are staffed and ready to welcome spring 2016. The hiring, roughly equivalent to spring season staffing in recent years, includes opportunities in

Merchandising teams also seek new associates to set product displays, maintain store appearance and help keep products customer-ready, Home Depot said.

Home Depot also projected total sales of approximately $101 billion for the year. The company is scheduled to report its fourth-quarter financial earnings Feb. 23. The consensus forecast of financial analysts surveyed by S&P Capital IQ projects earnings per share of $1.10 on sales of nearly $20.4 billion. Contributing: The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES Lily James once counted herself among those shocked, positively shocked, that a movie was underway injecting zombies into Jane Austen’s classic 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice. To add injury to insult, the Downton Abbey and Cinderella actress was asked to star in the corpse-infested enterprise. “When that call came, I thought that this all sounded terrible. They put zombies in Pride and Prejudice? I’m British. Being obsessed with Jane Austen is a birthright,” James says. “And then I realized I was just being ignorant. The script was brilliant.” That was a very bad day for zombies. James, 26, who had wielded nothing more than tea cups and hairbrushes as Lady Rose on Downton Abbey, transformed into a killing machine for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (in theaters Friday), based on Seth Grahame-Smith’s best-selling novel. Her feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet, called Liz in the revamped work, wields a lethal sword and dagger on zombie foes. Actually, all of Austen’s famed five Bennet sisters — including Bella Heathcote as Jane and Suki Waterhouse as Kitty — are like a “lethal Spice Girls,” says James, wearing a black velvet jumpsuit and towering platform pumps during a talk outside Los Angeles’ London Hotel Even a classic Regency dance scene turns into mayhem when the undead hordes mess with the Bennet warriors. “That scene starts all civilized,” James says. “And suddenly there was blood everywhere and zombie arms hanging out all over the place. Between us, we must have killed 100 zombies.” Director Burr Steers says James’ period pedigree made her a no-brainer for Austen’s heroine. “Here’s someone with the chops to do Jane Austen dialogue with emotion, and athletic enough to do it while kicking zombie butt,” says Steers. “Lily is the complete package.” It required work for James. She trained and boxed extensively before taking a month of martial art classes with her fellow PPZ Bennet sisters. James was so

Hail ‘Caesar!’ and its clueless Clooney Coens and a flock of A-listers conjure old-school magic The combination of the Coen brothers’ filmmaking acumen and George Clooney in absolute buffoon mode is again Hollywood magic. Written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, the comedy Hail, Caesar! (eee out of four; rated PG-13; in theaters Friday nationwide) is an old-school Tinseltown farce starring Josh Brolin as Capitol Pictures’ resident “fixer” Eddie Mannix, who has a day full of ridiculous crises to curb — including the kidnapping of the studio’s narcissistic, clueless A-lister. Mannix is the tough-guy straight man of the 1950s-era piece who (for the most part) calmly deals with the shenanigans that come his way. But this is a whopper: Just before his climactic speech is filmed for the Spartacus-y epic Hail, Caesar!, one of several movies-within-amovie, Baird Whitlock (Clooney) is nabbed and held for $100,000 ransom by a shady bunch calling itself “The Future.” If only that were all for the embattled Eddie. There’s also the aquatic-movie starlet (Scarlett MOVIE REVIEW BRIAN TRUITT

Bennet rejection. “I went straight for a high roundhouse kick and then a low one,” James says. “All her internal frustration and sexual frustration came out in the fighting. The scene is already filled with unsaid anger, but here they end up nearly killing each other.” James will continue with the action onscreen, starring as a spy in the upcoming The Kaiser’s Last Kiss with Christopher Plummer. She’s also prepared for more period, or real-life, undead battles. “I’m definitely not ready to give up my sword or my power. “And when the zombie apocalypse actually does happen, I am so ready.”

ALISON ROSA

Dopey movie star Baird Whitlock (George Clooney) is set straight by Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin) in Hail, Caesar! Johansson) with a bun in the oven and no lack of potential fathers; a song-and-dance man (Channing Tatum) who’s not quite what he seems; twin rival gossip columnists (Tilda Swinton times two) digging for scoops about Baird going AWOL; and the chaos that ensues when a snooty English director (a deliciously over-the-top Ralph Fiennes) is forced to work with a young cowboy star (Alden Ehrenreich) whose roping skills are better than his dramatic diction.

The film’s episodic nature is akin to the Coens’ brilliant O Brother, Where Art Thou?, their old-timey ode to Homer with Clooney as a pomade-slathered doofus. That cinematic odyssey deftly moved the same characters through a series of situations, while Hail, Caesar! — though it has a common thread in Mannix — gets lost in its own hustle and bustle. The plot meanders as Caesar! bounces from a high-class British affair to an all-male revue in a seafarers’ bar, and it’s not un-

til the end when everything’s nicely tidied up that the viewer gets a sense of how well-crafted the film actually is. Some bits fall flat, yet when the Coens hit, there’s nothing better, especially with their usual ridiculously sublime banter. When Eddie extols the virtues of a stable family life, Johansson’s swimming thespian tells him in a “New Yawk” accent that “marrying a third louse ain’t gonna do me no good.” Often the artistic meets the absurd: In the middle of a waterfilled Busby Berkeley-esque number expertly crafted by the Coens’ go-to cinematographer Roger Deakins, a bandleader under a gigantic seashell gets blindsided by an expertly thrown tiara. While the Magic Mike films showed he has a vast array of dance moves, Tatum proves his chops as a Renaissance man, crooning and tapping as a screen sailor and lamenting that “mermaids ain’t got no gams.” Brolin is also game as the brusque eye in the storm of oddballs, though no one’s having more fun in this star-studded romp than Clooney as the milquetoast thespian who gets a little Stockholm syndrome and then gets slapped around for it. He may be the world’s top celebrity but for the Coens, Clooney is simply their favorite nitwit.

Mykhailiuk sparks victory over ’Cats By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

After playing just one solitary minute in the last three games, Svi Mykhailiuk was more than ready for action Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse. The 6-foot-8 sophomore from Cherkasy, Ukraine, scored 10 points off 4-of-7 shooting and had four assists, three steals and one turnover — providing a needed spark in Kansas University’s 77-59 victory over Kansas State. “Svi was as good defensively as any of our guards

today,” KU coach Bill Self said, explaining that he went with Mykhailiuk off the bench because of his recent stellar play at practice. “I think the last two days in practice, he looked more confident, and he is a better perimeter defender,” Self said. “We could have gone with Lagerald (Vick). I told our guys (assistants), ‘Svi is shooting the heck out of the ball. Let’s see if we can get him in there.’ He played with more confidence.” The only thing Mykhailiuk didn’t do well in his Please see KANSAS, page 4C

It was difficult to tell the winning coach from the losing one in the wake of Kansas University burying Kansas State again in Allen Fieldhouse, 77-59, Wednesday night. The losing coach talked about how proud he was of his team, and it was easy to see why. The weakened-byinjury Wildcats stormed to an early lead, stormed back from a big deficit, won the effort plays and snagged 36 rebounds, compared to 21 for the home team.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL COACH DAVID BEATY DISCUSSES his 2016 recruiting class on Wednesday at Mrkonic Auditorium.

David Beaty’s second recruiting class as Kansas University football coach might have been a few bodies light, but what it lacked in numbers, Beaty made up for in enthusiasm. Go figure. Introducing his second crop of future Jayhawks in his 14 months on the job, Beaty spoke with enthusiasm about each of the 17 scholarship players and three walk-ons who make up the 2016 recruiting class, with aspects such as speed, character, toughness and potential emerging as common themes among the group. “We’re trying to improve

that overall team profile where we actually match the league in terms of the way we look, in terms of the way we present ourselves from a height and weight standpoint and strength standpoint,” Beaty began. “The better you get talentwise, the better you get as a team. We control that by going out and finding the right guys.”

Just how well KU did in identifying those players and improving that talent likely won’t be known for a least a couple of years. But one indicator that led Beaty to believe his staff was on the right track popped up a couple of times during the recruitment of the 2016 class. Take KU’s pursuit of offensive lineman Antione Frazier, for example. Frazier, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound tackle from Hargrave High in Huffman, Texas, orally committed to Kansas almost a year ago. And in the 12 months since saying yes to the Jayhawks, more than a dozen schools tested the waters to see if he would be more interested in their programs.

“He stayed with us,” Beaty said of Frazier, one of five offensive linemen introduced Wednesday. “Just like a lot of people in this class, (he) stayed with us even though at the very end Baylor, and a bunch of other teams around the state, were coming after this guy.” Beaty said Frazier played a huge role in helping keep the class committed to Kansas, and his confidence in the KU program and coaching staff paid dividends as recently as last week with fellow commitment Ian Peterson, a defensive back from Round Rock, Texas. “I know there were a bunch of Big 12 teams that were calling him as he was Please see SIGNING, page 6C

Torneden, Skwarlo set to join Jayhawks By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

In the months following Bryce Torneden’s oral commitment to play football at North Dakota State, one of the Free State High senior’s closest teammates, S a m Skwarlo, stayed in his ear a b o u t the possibility of playing Skwarlo for their h o m e town program, Kansas University, instead. Skwarlo, a running back and linebacker for the Firebirds, hadn’t reached a final college decision entering his senior year. As he remained in steady contact with KU, he figured it would be exciting to remain teammates with Torneden, an FSHS quarterback and defensive back, as Jayhawks. Although both Firebirds first committed to other programs, both ended up signing with Kansas Wednesday afternoon, Torneden on scholarship, and Skwarlo as a walk-on.

FREE STATE HIGH SENIOR BRYCE TORNEDEN, RIGHT, is introduced by FSHS football coach Bob Lisher, standing, before Torneden signed a letter of intent to play at Kansas University. Also signing letters of intent with colleges Wednesday at FSHS, from left, are Firebirds Garrett Swisher, left, with Highland Community College, and Drew Tochtrop, with Hutchinson Community College. “It’s definitely great,” said Torneden, ranked a two-star safety and ninthbest player in the state by Rivals.com. “We’ve always been able to push each other. We always one-up each other, so I think that’ll push us even more at KU.”

The roles of recruiter and recruitee flipped for the teammates last week, after Skwarlo agreed to walk on at rival Kansas State, which made a late push to nab him. “Obviously, I was trying to influence him as much as I could,”

Torneden said, “but at the end of the day, it was his decision, and I was gonna support it 100 percent.” Once Skwarlo, who projects as a strong safety, committed to K-State, he said KU head coach David Beaty made a further impression on him.

Skwarlo, who grew up dreaming of playing for the Wildcats, ultimately was swayed to don crimson and blue. “(Beaty) just told me that he thinks I could make an impact here,” Skwarlo shared, “and that he wanted to give me an opportunity.” Torneden, who projects as a free safety, became the only in-state recruit in the Class of 2016 to sign a scholarship with KU. “I think it’s definitely special getting a local kid,” Torneden said. “I feel like I’m gonna care about this university a lot more.” At Beaty’s signing-day news conference, the second-year KU coach said the lack of in-state additions wasn’t for a lack of trying on his staff’s part. “Once again, when we came here last year, we talked about earning it, earning it one fan at a time,” said Beaty, who brought up the staff’s Kansas blast, in which coaches visited high schools throughout the Sunflower State. “We put our foot forward, and we continue to do that.” In the meantime,

Skwarlo and Torneden have a chance to prove themselves. “Kansas kids are good players, too,” Skwarlo said. “It means a lot being in your hometown, being able to play for your hometown team.” When Torneden and Skwarlo enroll in classes this summer, they’ll join FSHS graduates — and former teammates — Joe Dineen and Keith Loneker Jr., another walk-on, as Jayhawks. Torneden, who played with Dineen and Loneker as a sophomore in 2013, said those familiar faces should help him and Skwarlo get acclimated, but it was another local man who sold him on KU. Defensive coordinator and Lawrence native Clint Bowen spearheaded Torneden’s recruitment, and once Torneden spoke with Beaty, he felt comfortable backing out of his summer 2015 commitment to North Dakota State. “They’re real down-toearth people,” Torneden said of Bowen and Beaty. “It’s not every day you get to talk to a head coach, especially at an FBS program.”

Lions’ Bledsoe makes it official with OU By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Nearly 20 months after receiving his first college football scholarship offer, Lawrence High senior Amani Bledsoe finally crossed the finish line. Bledsoe signed and faxed his letter of intent to the University of Oklahoma at 8:45 a.m. Wednesday. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops posted a short video on Twitter two minutes later, which included pictures of Bledsoe in Oklahoma gear, to celebrate the signing. In the afternoon, Bledsoe — one of the most highly recruited players in LHS history — was honored at a signing day ceremony with seven of his former teammates in the school’s gymnasium. “I can’t even describe the feeling,” said Bledsoe, who wore a red shirt and an Oklahoma hat. “It feels great to just know it’s finally over, to see all of the hard work finally pay off and to just begin a new chapter in life. It’s amazing.” Bledsoe, a 6-foot-5, 270-pound defensive end, announced his commit-

Hundreds of people filled the stands inside of Lawrence’s gym —

families, coaches, teachers and classmates — to honor a talented senior class. Along with Bledsoe, Trey Georgie (Illinois State), Price Morgan (Air Force), Peter Afful (Hutchinson CC), J’Mony Bryant (Independence CC), Ivan Hollins (Baker), Nate Koehn (Butler CC) and JD Woods (Missouri

Western) finalized their college choices. “This just shows how much this school cares about, not only me, but all of the players up there,” Morgan said. “In some way, almost everyone out there has helped me along this journey. Whether or not they are at games, or just offering advice. It’s

awesome. You don’t get that everywhere.” Morgan, a 6-4, 210-pound linebacker, had trouble falling asleep Tuesday with signing day looming. He faxed in his Certificate of Intent, which is a little different because of the Academy appointment process, after arriving at school in the morning. “I was up all night,” Morgan said. “I caught myself waking up thinking, ‘Oh, I’m going to miss the deadline when it needs to be in by.’ But it was just great to finally sign it.” Georgie chose Illinois State over South Dakota State, Northern Iowa and Missouri State. He will likely red-shirt next season before trying to crack a spot in the offensive line. The 6-5, 260-pound lineman said an official visit sold him on the idea of playing for the Redbirds, where he “connected” with the coaches and players. All eight of the signees were thrilled to sign as a group after playing together for the past four years.

“It’s really special because this group of kids we got here, in our senior class, we’ve been through everything,” Bledsoe said. “When I say everything — literally everything. It’s just a nice feeling.” Other expected area football signees: Hersimran Aujla, Mill Valley (Hutchinson CC); Anthony Branch, Mill Valley (Hutchinson CC); TJ Boatwright, De Soto (Fort Scott CC); Anthony Brown, Mill Valley (Butler CC); Alex Cigard, Baldwin (Garden City CC); Spencer Clayborn, Mill Valley (Butler CC); Grant Elston, Eudora (Baker); Ben Harvey, Oskaloosa (St. Mary’s); Cody Hastings, Santa Fe Trail (Pittsburg State); Ben Hecht, Mill Valley (North Dakota State); Kyle Hopkins, Oskaloosa (Fort Scott CC); Christian Jegen, Mill Valley (Northern Iowa); Tanner Jenkins, Mill Valley (Missouri Western); Cal Lyle, Santa Fe Trail (Fort Scott CC); Cole Morris, Mill Valley (Butler CC); Dalton Trimble, Tonganoxie (Fort Scott CC).

KANSAS 77, KANSAS STATE 59

KSU’s Weber bites tongue (mostly) By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas State coach Bruce Weber told himself before Wednesday’s Sunflower Showdown at Allen Fieldhouse that he was not going to let the calls by the officials get him barking from the sideline. And, for the most part, the fourth-year K-State coach avoided any outbursts during a 77-59 loss to No. 7 Kansas, which Weber and a couple of his players said they thought was much closer than the final score indicated. But Weber’s success biting his tongue on the floor ran out in the Allen Fieldhouse media room after the game, and the

KSU coach on multiple occasions at least mentioned concerns about the officiating. “I told myself, you come here, you (can’t) get mad,” Weber said. “I tried to keep my poise, and, for 16 minutes, I didn’t say a word to ’em. But I’ve gotta keep my kids from getting frustrated.” Weber’s frustration about the officiating — K-State was called for 27 fouls compared to 18 for Kansas (18-4 overall, 6-3 Big 12) — took into account the entire game. But there was a specific stretch that seemed to really set him off. “I thought there were crucial calls at the end of the half,” Weber said.

KANSAS STATE FORWARD WESLEY IWUNDU (25) pulls back coach Bruce Weber as Weber disputes an out-of-bounds call during the first half. “The charge/block with (Brian) Rohleder, the block on D.J. (Johnson) and then the out-ofbounds play. Those are crucial calls.”

And they led to KState (13-9, 2-7) being down by 10 at halftime after a first half which they controlled most of the way.

A few moments after first mentioning the officiating, a reporter asked Weber about not getting the calls at the end of the first half. “Really,” the coach interjected. “... Complain about the refs, I could do it all night, but you can’t do anything. You gotta be better than them on the road.” K-State guard Wesley Iwundu agreed with his coach and said he tried his best to keep his teammates’ minds on the Jayhawks and not the whistles. “It’s a road game,” Iwundu said. “That’s what’s expected. I just tried to tell guys to keep your head, keep your

composure, because we’re not getting calls on the road, especially at Allen Fieldhouse. It’s a tough place to play.” There were, of course, plenty of factors Weber could point to that tipped the game Kansas’ way. And he did. Most notable among them was the play of KU senior Perry Ellis, who led all scorers with 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting. “And I thought we did a decent job on him,” Weber lamented. “We want to go to his and (Iowa State forward Georges) Niang’s graduations, because we’ll be happy when they’re out of the league and we don’t have to face ’em anymore.”

21-minute stint was sink threes. He cashed one of four. But he was pivotal in a 16-4 run that turned a 16-7 deficit into a 23-20 advantage in the first half. “I’ve been trying to work hard every practice. I knew my time was going to come. I had to be ready,” said Mykhailiuk, whose 10 points were his most since scoring 10 against Montana on Dec. 19. “I thought I played pretty good defense and moved the ball.” Why hadn’t he played but a minute the last three contests, since missing six of seven shots in a 16-minute stint at Oklahoma State? “I would say Lagerald and Brannen Greene were pretty good. They played pretty good in games. There was no need to put me in,” Mykhailiuk said. “It was pretty good to play 20 minutes again. I was trying to be aggressive and get my teammates better and work hard at practice.” Mykhailiuk had two key steals in that early 16-4 run. The first led to a Landen Lucas bucket and the second led to his own three. The student section chanted, “Svi, Svi,” after that first-half trey. “Hearing the crowd yelling your name ... it gives you a lot of energy,” Mykhailiuk said. Senior Perry Ellis, who

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD BRANNEN GREENE, RIGHT, WATCHES HIS THREE FROM THE CORNER FLY as he is fouled by Kansas State guard Brian Rohleder (33) with seconds remaining in the first half of KU’s 77-59 victory Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse. Greene hit the trey and resulting free throw to complete the four-point play.

NOTEBOOK

Self: Greene’s late dunk ‘classless’ By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self was livid that junior Brannen Greene dunked the ball — with no Kansas State players playing defense and the rest of the Jayhawks merely letting the clock run out on Wednesday’s game in Allen Fieldhouse. “Brannen Greene ... we’ve put up with him doing some stuff in the past, but that was probably the biggest (expletive) move I’ve ever had a player do during a game,” Self said after KU’s 77-59 win over the Wildcats. “To dunk the ball like that when the other team — even their players are going, ‘How disrespectful to the game.’ It certainly showed unbelievably poor sportsmanship. I

apologize to K-State and their players. I guarantee that will never happen again, or he will never be in the game at the end of the game.” Of the player whose three-pointer and foul shot concluded the firsthalf scoring, Self added: “It was totally classless. I guarantee it will never happen again.” Asked about the play, KState coach Bruce Weber said: “That’s up to them. That’s their dealing.” Asked if he would punish Greene, Self said, “I don’t know. He’s not my favorite, though, right now.” l

Mitch has big game: KU signee Mitch Lightfoot, a 6-foot-8, 210-pound senior forward from Gilbert (Arizona) Christian High, scored 39 points and had 21 rebounds in Gilbert’s

victory over Campo Verde on Tuesday night. “Mitch Lightfoot making POY (player of year) statement last night,” wrote Richard Obert of azcentral.com on Twitter. Lightfoot attended Saturday’s KU-Kentucky game in Allen Fieldhouse. “I swear, I’ve been a lot of places, and I’ve never seen anything like that. The fans are bonkers. The place is crazy, the best there is,” Lightfoot wrote on Twitter. He’s the No. 117-rated player in the Class of 2016 by Rivals.com l

Jackson down to three: Josh Jackson, a 6-7 senior shooting guard from Prolific Prep in Napa, Calif., this week officially narrowed his list of schools to Kansas, Michigan State and Arizona.

Jackson, the No. 1-ranked player in the recruiting Class of 2016 by Rivals.com, is originally from the Detroit area. Last summer, he played for USA Basketball’s Under 19 team, which was coached by Arizona’s Sean Miller and won a gold medal at the World Championships. “It’s been a little rough on me, Jackson said of his recruitment in an interview with USA Today. “Kind of stressful. I feel like I’m getting close to making a decision. I’m down to three schools. I feel like I’ll be able to make a decision within the next month or so.” Jackson was awarded “Biggest Trash Talker” by the country’s AAU players who were polled by USA Today last summer. Former NBA player

Gary Payton, who was sitting in the stands watching his son, Julian, play for Phoenix Hillcrest Academy, engaged in some trash talk with Jackson during last Saturday’s Prolific Prep-Hillcrest game. Jackson stared down Gary Payton after hitting a key second-half three. Both yelled at each other a few times. “It was real fun. I’m a trash-talker. He’s a trashtalker. We kind of went at it a little bit, but it was all respect,” Jackson told Yahoo!Sports after a fivepoint victory. “He’s a kid and he’s having fun. I respect him because he has a lot of dog in him to come back and talk. He has a lot of gall to do that, so that’s good. But in these situations, you got to understand if you’re going to talk it, you got to back it

up. Back it up!” Payton told Yahoo!. l

Bubble talk: Eamonn Brennan of ESPN.com isn’t ready to take KU off the NCAA bubble just yet. Despite KU’s 17-4 record entering Wednesday’s KU-KSU game, Brennan wrote: “Just to be safe, we might hold off on locking up Kansas until the Jayhawks prove they can win another road game in conference play. They’ve gone 0-for3 in their last three tries, and while West Virginia and Iowa State are acceptable (even expected) places to lose, Oklahoma State — and by 19 points? — is less so. We’d probably settle for a win on Saturday at TCU. That’s how close Bill Self’s team (and its peerless RPI numbers) are.”

lead to 18 points and, more importantly, his point total to eight in six minutes. Greene made three of three shots from the field, his only threepointer, his only free throw, did not turn it over and quite possibly had the most imperfect perfect game in basketball history. Kansas coach Bill Self not only called it a Richard move in less formal language on the radio, he called it “totally classless” by the time he reached the media room. Greene, remember, so impressed Self with his lip about playing time earlier in the season that the coach suspended him for six games. Greene’s teammates live in the Taj Mahal of the college basketball world, lavish McCarthy Hall. Greene lives in a doghouse that belongs to the coach. Again. It’s a shame, too, because the guy has such a beautiful jumper, looked so eager to please in the wake of his suspension, and when Svi Mykhailiuk doesn’t play the way he did Wednesday, Greene brings needed scoring punch off the bench.

KANSAS GUARD WAYNE SELDEN JR. (1) PUTS PRESSURE on Kansas State forward Wesley Iwundu as he inbounds the ball during the second half. Greene knows full well what his coach thinks about showing up opponents and rubbing it in. He sees teammates dribble out the clock game after game. He knows the drill. And even knowing all that, he did what he knew would infuriate his coach anyway. There is no way he thought that would land him more playing time than the six minutes he played in this one, so why did he dunk, essentially posterizing his coach? Self’s move now. I wonder if Greene will play Saturday at TCU. When apologizing

for Greene’s “act,” Self guaranteed it wouldn’t happen again, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to run Greene from the team. His potential — strange word to use for a junior, I know — is too great. He can develop — again, strange word to use for a junior — into a major factor for this team. The hour is getting late for Greene. There must be some way out of the doghouse, but he’s the only one who can make it happen. Self’s ire was saved for Greene, but his disappointment cast a wider net. “I thought they out-

played us,” Self said. “They beat us to loose balls. They rebounded. We played soft. We had one stretch in the second half, I think we were turned up pretty good.” But too many stale stretches. “It was amazing to me we were up 10 at half, and I felt like it was a tie game,” Self said. “Second half, we gave the 10-point lead back. ... It wasn’t a well-played game by us. They definitely bullied us on the glass and certainly played much tougher. That’s about as soft as I can remember one of our teams playing.”

KANSAS FORWARD CARLTON BRAGG JR. (15) GETS A HAND ON A SHOT from Kansas State guard Justin Edwards. Kansas shot .551 from the field, .389 from threepoint land, and forced 23 turnovers, so it was far from a total disaster, but it was enough to put the winning coach in a lousy mood. “Once again our threeman gets no rebounds, doesn’t do anything form a physical standpoint to create anything,” Self said of junior Wayne Selden Jr., who was coming off a 33-point game in an overtime victory against Kentucky. “Polar opposite of the other day. He’ll regroup and do bet-

ter, but he didn’t impact the game in any way, shape or form tonight. He was active defensively maybe for a three- or four-minute stretch, but didn’t guard, didn’t rebound, didn’t make shots, turned it over, didn’t handle pressure. It was a polar opposite game from the other night.” Playing better opponents in a different building will require more feisty play from the Jayhawks, who nevertheless improved their record to 18-4 overall and 6-3 in the loaded Big 12.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Late shot lifts Tech past Cowboys in OT The Associated Press

Big 12 Men Texas Tech 63, Oklahoma St. 61, OT Lubbock, Texas — Devaugntah Williams drained a layup with one second left in overtime to give Texas Tech a victory over Oklahoma State on Wednesday night. Aaron Ross finished with a career-high 22 points for Texas Tech (13-8, 3-6), and Toddrick Gotcher finished with 18 points, including a threepointer to force overtime. Leyton Hammonds had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Cowboys (11-11, 2-7), and Jeff Newberry scored 13 points. Oklahoma State had a turnover with 15 seconds left in overtime. Texas Tech called a timeout with 11.5 seconds remaining before Williams drove for the winning layup. The Red Raiders forced overtime after Gotcher’s three-pointer tied the game 53-all with 33.5 seconds left. Oklahoma State had a shot-clock violation on its ensuing possession at the end of regulation. Texas Tech was unable to score when it inbounded with 3.5 seconds left in the second half.

Top 25 Men No. 3 Villanova 83, Creighton 58 Villanova, Pa. — Kris Jenkins scored 22 points, Jalen Brunson had 16, and Villanova rolled past Creighton. Josh Hart added 13 points and nine rebounds for the Wildcats (19-3, 9-1 Big East), who have won 11 of 12. No. 4 Maryland 70, Nebraska 65 Lincoln, Neb. — Freshman Diamond Stone had 16 points, 10 rebounds and a season-high eight blocks, and Maryland held off Nebraska. Melo Trimble had 14 of his 20 points in the second half as the Terrapins overcame a slew of turnovers.

Signing CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

on his way up here to our visit last week,” Beaty said. “He held strong with us — another guy in this class that I’m very proud of. That’s how we know we’re on the right guys. They all had opportunities to go to other places. They see the vision. They want to be a part of it together.” On paper, KU’s 2016 class will not wow anybody. Because the Jayhawks counted eight players from last year’s roster forward to the 2016 class, Beaty was able to sign just 17 new faces. And while he filled needs with most of those spots and took chances at a couple of others — plucking athletes who were coming off of injury or players he deemed underrated — the overall package produced a class that ranked 87th nationally, according to Rivals.com, and just slightly higher, in 82nd place, according to 247Sports.com. Both rankings put KU football last in the Big 12 — Kansas State was the next closest at 74th and 68th — a position with which the Jayhawks have plenty of familiarity. So the question that must be answered now is not which of these play-

No. 5 Iowa 73, Penn St. 49 Iowa City, Iowa — Jarrod Uthoff scored 14 points, and Adam Woodbury had a career-high 15 rebounds to help Iowa roll past Penn State. Peter Jok scored 12 points, and Anthony Clemmons had 12 points, six rebounds and four assists for the Hawkeyes (18-4, 9-1 Big Ten), who won their 15th straight home game. Iowa shot 46 percent from the field and held Penn State to 30 percent shooting.

ers will blow up and elevate the Jayhawks out of the cellar. The question is, are these the types of players whom Beaty and his staff can coach up to start the climb? “We’ve got to be able to develop people,” Beaty said. “We were looking for tough, athletic guys, guys that fit the Kansas way. We said that last year at this time. We echo the same thing this year. Things have not changed. The plan will remain the same.
