THIS AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH FROM MARCH 17, 2009, shows the Lawrence Municipal Airport. This view is from the southeast looking to the northwest. The three areas framed with a red dashed line have been determined by an off-site Federal Aviation Administration study to be potentially safe to accommodate parachute landings, as long as certain provisions are met. However, the Lawrence City Commission will still have to determine whether skydiving should be allowed at the airport, and that decision likely will not come as early as this week.

City Commission to review FAA safety assessment for skydiving at Lawrence Municipal Airport Airport, a new report may provide the most guidance yet on whether the activity would be safe. As part of their meeting Tuesday, city commissioners will review a memo summarizing an off-site safety assessment

by the Federal Aviation Administration. The assessment determined three areas at the airport could safely accommodate parachute landing areas for skydiving, as long as 13 provisions are met.

But some members of the city’s Aviation Advisory Board still have concerns. Board member Richard Haig said he doesn’t see the FAA determination as a green light for allowing skydiving at the airport.

“This is just guidance for the city,” Haig said. “Ultimately, the city owns the airport and the city is responsible for the safe operation of the airport.” In what is known as a desk audit assessment,

the FAA examined documents, diagrams of the proposed parachute landing areas and Google Earth measuring tools to complete the study, according to the memo.

County to renew talks on jail expansion, mental health crisis center By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

involve the latter facility. “There are more questions about the crisis center, actually,” said County Commissioner Michelle Derusseau, who joined the commission in January. “There are so many unknowns right now as far as what happens to people when they walk out the door and the services needed to

keep them from falling back into crisis.” Although there may be more questions involving the crisis center, there will be plenty of others for Derusseau and fellow Commissioners Mike Gaughan and Nancy Thellman to consider when they start discussions of the two facilities and any

Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran, who will forward recommendations to the White House. “Each senator has a key person taking resumes,” Barker said. The senators, however, are not identifying who has applied for the job or which Kansas attorneys are considered leading contenders. Barker said that’s largely because the attorneys are reluctant to let their clients or law firms know they are seeking a position unless or until they receive it.

Currently, Tom Beall, Obama’s last appointment to that post, remains the U.S. Attorney here while Kansas waits for Trump to name, and for the Senate to confirm, his replacement. In addition to the U.S. Attorney’s job, a number of federal agencies have regional offices headquartered in Kansas City where regional administrators are in charge of directing federal programs for an area known as Region 7, which includes Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa. Those include the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Of those, the one Kansas may have the most

That’s because it also houses the regional office of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services which, shortly before Trump was inaugurated, declined to renew Kansas’ application to extend its privatized managed care Medicaid system known as KanCare for another year beyond 2017. CMS said, in response to complaints, it conducted an on-site review of the KanCare program in October and found Kansas to be “substantively out of compliance” with federal laws and regulations, and that the system “places the health, welfare, and safety of KanCare beneficiaries at risk.” Lt.

It states that those locations could mitigate the risks of operating both operations at the airport by placing approximately four-tenths of a mile between the parachute landing area and the helicopter operation. Haig said he still has concerns about LifeStar and that he wasn’t sure why four-tenths of a mile would mean both could operate safely. He said he expected that element to be a major point in the discussion on Tuesday.

A progress report on the school district’s diversity training By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

A group of students from Lawrence High School last week presented the school board and district with a list of demands intended to improve racial equity in Lawrence’s public schools. Among them was the request that all teachers undergo mandatory equity training — a goal, district leaders have said, that is shared by administration and already well on its way toward completion. Since 2009, the district has provided Beyond Diversity training to more than 1,500 employees, school board members and community partners. At the onset of the school year last fall, Lawrence school board aimed to have 95 percent of the district’s teachers trained before the 2017-2018 school year. And, as of last week, they’re nearly there, with 90 percent of teachers having now partaken in the two-day seminar that proponents say builds a foundation for deinstitutionalizing racism and eliminating racial achievement gaps. “That’s just the first step of what we do ongoing to support our equity initiative,” said Anna Stubblefield, the district’s assistant superintendent of educational support. “That is an expectation, and if that’s not clear, that’s something we need

“

I think it’s important to note that just because you attend this training, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to come in with all the answers. This training is the foundation to having our staff being exposed to becoming racially conscious and entering into those conversations.”

— Anna Stubblefield, Lawrence Public Schools’ assistant superintendent of educational support another scheduled for next month. Workshops in June and August have been added to better accommodate positions for which securing substitutes would be difficult during the school year. Lawrence, like other districts across the country, is grappling with a shortage of substitute teachers and paraeducators. Other workers, such as those in food service or building maintenance, also face a limited pool of subs, Stubblefield said. Adding those two sessions, though, costs the district. Teachers who opt to attend Beyond Diversity workshops during the summer must be paid for their time, as per the district’s “mandatorily negotiable” contract with the Lawrence Education Association, the local teachers’ union. The option of simply tacking professional development days onto the beginning or end of a school year in order to move more teachers through Beyond Diversity is, due to LEA contract terms, essentially a non-option,

Stubblefield said. Still, with a handful of training sessions to go before the start of the 2017-2018 school year, Stubblefield and others in the district have said they feel confident about achieving that “nearly all” goal. The idea, she said, isn’t to reach 100 percent. With new hires joining throughout the school year, and only one Beyond Diversity seminar scheduled each year specifically for these new hires, the number will always be in flux, Stubblefield stressed. “I think it’s important to note that just because you attend this training, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to come in with all the answers,” she said. “This training is the foundation to having our staff being exposed to becoming racially conscious and entering into those conversations.” There’s been a lot of talk about race in Lawrence lately. Last fall’s controversy over alleged racist remarks made by a South Middle School

teacher dominated the Journal-World’s education coverage for much of the semester. Other concerns included the lack of nonwhite teachers in Lawrence classrooms, or, more recently, the district’s findings last month that students of color are more likely to be identified as learning disabled in comparison with their white counterparts, among other inequities. These elements are at once connected, “in the big scheme of things,” and also not, Stubblefield said. Racial achievement disparities, for example, play into a larger, centuries-old narrative of institutionalized racism in this country, she added. And these issues likely won’t be undone by Beyond Diversity training, but at least, Stubblefield said, it’s a start. “There’s no single answer. There’s no quick fix,” she said. “And we — the district, the administration, the school board — have made this commitment, and we will continue to press forward and continue to improve to ensure that all our students have the same opportunities afforded to them regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation and economic background.” — K-12 education reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at 832-6388.

Regents chief presses for restored education funding Topeka (ap) — Restoring state funding for higher education is a structural way to keep college costs down for students, the head of Kansas’ governing board of education said after a community college announced plans to develop a degree costing just $15,000. Blake Flanders, the Kansas Board of Regents’ president and chief executive, told the Topeka Capital-Journal that regents-governed colleges and universities have lost $75 million in funding over the past three years.

Last spring, Republican Gov. Sam Brownback cut 4 percent from public higher education to help balance the budget, saving about $30 million. Flanders watched Friday as Brownback announced that Cowley County Community College in Arkansas City had accepted his challenge to try to try to develop a program culminating in a $15,000 four-year degree. That proposal would require students to complete two years of courses at Cowley County while still in high school,

then transfer to Fort Hays State University. But state lawmakers still have to appropriate scholarship funding, and Fort Hays State hasn’t yet set tuition rates. “This type of program really highlights the need for higher ed and the need to keep costs down,” Flanders told the Capital-Journal. “And that’s why the Board of Regents’ No. 1 priority is to restore the funding that was taken out of the budget for higher ed. That’s the structural way to keep costs down for

students and parents.” The regents say that state general funding for universities as a percentage of total funding has been declining since 1999 — from slightly more than 40 percent to just over 20 percent. At the same time, tuition as a percentage of funding rose from about 15 percent to nearly 30 percent. Kansas faces a budget shortfall of more than $500 million in the next fiscal year. “We’re in a tough budget cycle, and I would hope we could get back to

the point of having stable funding for higher education,” Brownback said. While applauding Cowley County Community College’s initiative, House Minority Leader Jim Ward, a Wichita Democrat, said Kansas needs to fund higher education. “Who’s against trying to find affordable education opportunities? That’s not the issue,” Ward said. “The issue is you’re not providing funding so kids can get into schools at any cost or without massive debt.”

Real access to records Because fees to access open records should be standard and affordable, Senate Bill 86 should be approved.

n an ideal world, public servants paid to serve the public would give the public free and open access to the public records that belong to the public. Here in the real world — and by real world, we mean Kansas — existing law gives government officials broad discretion to set and charge fees for access to open records. That creates an environment where government workers can use fees as an effective deterrent to granting access to records. Open records aren’t open if members of the public can’t afford access to them. Open government advocates have tried to address the issue during the past three legislative sessions. Last year, a bill was approved in the Senate but the House never acted. Advocates are back this year with Senate Bill 86, which would tighten Kansas Open Records Act language to establish clear and reasonable limits on charges for public records, while eliminating the laundry list of exceptions that allow for arbitrary charges. Specifically, Senate Bill 86 would: l Establish 25 cents per page as the maximum charge for standard 8.5-by-11inch copies of public records. l Limit all other costs to no more than the actual cost to the public agency to provide the records. l And require agencies that charge staff time to do so at the lowest hourly rate of the staff member qualified to provide the records. Contrast that with current law, which allows for charges for copies, computer services, facilities usage and staff time, including staff time for the supervisor overseeing the staff member actually producing the open records. The law makes exceptions for the legislative, judicial and executive branches of state government and gives agency heads the leeway to set whatever fees they feel appropriate for their individual agencies. The only recourse for records requestors who think the fees are unreasonable is to appeal the charges to the secretary of administration. That simply shouldn’t be. Fees for public records should be standard, affordable and subject to limits that give the benefit of the doubt to record seekers instead of the record keepers. Senate Bill 86 does just that and should be approved.

Trump continues in Obama’s path For eight years, conservatives — rightly, in my view — railed against the imperial presidency of Barack Obama. When he couldn’t get what he wanted through the ordered and deliberative legislative process, he used other means, issuing regulations and executive orders that accomplished his goals without having to convince the people’s elected representatives of their wisdom. Even Obama’s signature legislative accomplishment, the Affordable Care Act, became law without a single Republican vote. The deep polarization that resulted from President Obama’s ham-fisted approach helped lay the groundwork for the election of Donald Trump. But in his first two weeks in office, President Trump has shown no signs of throwing off the imperial mantle of his predecessor. Instead, he’s ignoring even members of his own Cabinet, not to mention Congress, to draft orders and directives that will dramatically alter not just policy but, in the case of proposed immigration changes, the very composition of the American population. In doing so, he jeopardizes one of the most important features of American democracy, stability. The transfer of power between administrations of differing political parties always signals change, but the scope and tempo of change have traditionally been moderated by procedural safeguards. Presidents appoint Cabinet and sub-Cabinet

Linda Chavez

“

No matter how frustrating it might seem to have to wait and go through the slow process of working through Congress — and sometimes having to make compromises — that process protects us.” officials but must secure the advice and consent of the Senate in doing so. The leadership of departments and agencies changes at the top, but the work is carried out by career staff members who remain from one administration to another. An administration may want to abandon existing programs and start new ones, but it must go to Congress for the authority and appropriations to do so. When voters elect a new president, they may well be voting for change, but that change doesn’t happen overnight, nor should it. No matter how frustrating it might seem to have to wait and go through the slow process of working through Congress — and sometimes having to

make compromises — that process protects us. We don’t lurch from one extreme to another. Rather, we work through our differences. The Obama administration ignored this example to its detriment and ushered in an era of confrontation that saw the Congress change political hands in large part to exercise a check on executive power. In his first two weeks in office, President Trump has seemed intent on ignoring the lessons of the Obama overreach, choosing instead to follow Obama’s example. Trump is rewriting foreign policy, insulting allies in the process. As The Wall Street Journal noted in an editorial this week, Trump is treating Mexico as Obama treated Israel. A putative transcript of Trump’s telephone conversation with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto this week quotes Trump talking about “bad hombres” and threatening to send in the U.S. military to deal with them because Mexico’s military is weak. The Mexican president’s office, unsurprisingly, has denied that Trump made the threat, which would precipitate a crisis in Mexico if proved true, but the White House has remained uncharacteristically mum. No one, however, is denying that Trump insulted Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in his abbreviated — one might call it Trumpcated — call with the leader of one of the United States’ most stalwart allies. Before that, there was Trump’s decision

to issue an executive order — one that temporarily bars immigrants from seven majority-Muslim nations and indefinitely bans the entry of Syrian refugees — on the very day he met with British Prime Minister Theresa May without giving her the diplomatic courtesy of a heads-up. Those decisions will make everything that follows more difficult. There is no question that immigration policy requires an overhaul, but the way to do it is not by issuing ill-conceived and highly divisive orders from the Oval Office. Leaks of more orders to come suggest that President Trump will begin to shut the door for high-skilled immigrants, roll back legal immigration and deport millions of unauthorized and even legal immigrants whom this administration finds undesirable. Such drastic measures require debate and deliberation — and none of it is occurring in the echo chambers of Trump’s White House. If the president keeps on this track, he should not be surprised that he will meet fierce resistance. Right now, that resistance is manifesting itself in the streets and among Democrats in Congress. But if Trump continues to try to bully his way to policy changes, eventually members of his own party will begin to apply the brakes. And if they don’t, the American people will do so in the next election. — Linda Chavez is a columnist with Creators Syndicate.

Exposing GOP code In his first television interview since taking office, Vice President Mike Pence, with apparent sincerity, emphasized to “PBS NewsHour’s” Judy Woodruff just how committed he and the White House are to “working right now with the Congress,” “working very closely with leaders of the House and Senate” and earning “bipartisan support.” If Pence were sincere about reaching across the aisle, he would not be using insulting Republican code-speak to insult Democrats. Three different times in his interview with Woodruff, the vice president deliberately used language to needle those political adversaries to whom he was allegedly extending an olive branch. Instead of calling people in the other party what those people, correctly and grammatically, call themselves and speaking of “Democratic” colleagues, Pence resorted to partisan semantics by dropping the last syllable and referring to “Democrat” senators,” “Democrat” leaders and “Democrat” members. Mike Pence, who, according to the authoritative Almanac of American Politics, grew up in Columbus, Ind., “as a John F. Kennedy-admiring Catholic” and then “graduated from Hanover College as a Republican evangelical Christian” and went on to host his own conservative talk radio show, “The Mike Pence Show,” chooses his words carefully. He knows his parts of speech, that “Democratic” is an adjective and that “Democrat” is a noun. People who care about politics, especially vice presidential politics, all know about the time when — in the 1976 VP debate between Bob Dole, the Republican, and Walter “Fritz” Mondale, the Democrat — Dole, slipping into the hatchet-man lingo he had mostly overcome, damaged his ticket’s chances by saying, “If we added up the killed and wounded in Democrat (emphasis added) wars in this century, it would be about 1.6 million Americans, enough to fill the city of Detroit.” Pence may not know that the Red-baiting Joseph McCarthy, the Republican senator from Wisconsin who was eventually

Mark Shields censured by the Senate, repeatedly questioned the loyalty of members of “the Democrat Party.” But Republicans know that Newt Gingrich published his personal attack thesaurus — traitor, radical, sick, corrupt — to destroy the “Democrat Party.” And Pence has been interviewed on enough rightwing talk shows to know well the verbal shorthand; always use the disparaging “Democrat” to antagonize the Other Side. To his credit, the cerebral patron saint of American conservatism, William F. Buckley, in National Review, rejected this slur: “I have an aversion to ‘Democrat’ as an adjective,” he once said, pointing out that the noun “Democrat” misused as an adjective is “offensive to the ear.” Besides, “Democratic Party” is a proper noun, and proper nouns are not up for interpretation. Growing up in heavily Protestant Indiana, you learned early that when someone spoke about “the Roman Church,” the speaker was not being friendly to Catholic people and beliefs. The same is true when “Jew,” instead of “Jewish,” is callously deployed as an adjective — for example, before “neighbors,” “lawyer” or “businessman.” One of our more appealing national customs is that we Americans generally call people (including political parties) what they wish to be called. So if Republicans, including Vice President Pence, actually mean what they say about wanting to reach out across the increasingly bitter political divide, then they should immediately banish the offensive adjective “Democrat” from their collective lexicon. We’ll be listening, because in the final analysis, it’s a matter not of sensitivity but of civility. — Mark Shields is a columnist with Creators Syndicate.

From the Kansas Daily Tribune for years Feb. 6, 1867: ago l “A horse IN 1867 was stolen, last Sunday night, from Bedford Peddle, of Wyandotte. Fortunately he was insured in the National Live Stock Insurance Co., of this city, and therefore will not lose the value of his animal. We notice by the posters which the Company have already issued, that they offer $30 for the return of the horse, and $100 for the arrest and conviction of the thief. Horse stealing will become a very poor paying business, when our farmers have got all their horses insured.”

l “An unknown man, the Conservative says, attempted to cross the river on the ice, just below Leavenworth, Monday, and was drowned.” l “Strangers and others arriving in the city too late for their meals, can have a warm meal gotten up at any hour, at The Polar.” l “Jos. La Framboise, a Potawatomie chief, died in Shawnee county last Sunday, aged 76. The Topeka Tribune says that he had been for many years a leading an influential member of the Nation.” l “The Topeka Tribune says we copied from it ‘on the 12th,’ articles without credit. Accidents of this kind will occur.”

Reports suggest refugees set to travel before Trump’s order will now be allowed in, and arrivals could resume as soon as today.

John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

Refugees and some foreigners were racing the clock to enter the United States as the Trump administration prepared to press a federal appeals court Monday for reinstatement of its controversial immigration order. The San Francisco-based court denied the Trump administration’s request Sunday but ordered the states of Washington and Minnesota, which filed suit to halt the order, to provide more details. The Justice Department was told to file its response later Monday. President Trump issued the ban Jan. 27, one week after his inauguration. His executive order suspended entry of all refugees to the U.S. for 120 days, halted admission of refugees from Syria indefinitely and barred entry for three months to citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. After days of legal wrangling, federal Judge James Robart in Seattle issued the temporary restraining order Friday night that

lifted Trump’s order nationwide. Robart, appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush in 2004, cited “immediate and irreparable injury as a result of the signing and implementation of the executive order.” With the ban on hold at least for now, people with jeopardized travel plans were on the move.

WASHINGTON Thousands of women across the USA are exploring whether to run for office as part of an activist wave that began with the election of President Trump, prompting EMILY’s List, a major national force for grooming female Democratic candidates, to begin the “most aggressive” recruiting campaign in its 32-year history, the group told USA TODAY. The non-proﬁt that elevates Democratic women who support abortion rights is doubling its staff dedicated to recruiting and training them to run for ofﬁce, from school board to city council to Congress, as it moves swiftly to supply more resources to the millions of women who marched in Washington and in cities nationwide as part of the Women’s March on Washington a day after President Trump’s inauguration Jan. 20. Their Run to Win effort includes a new online portal where women can learn about how to run for office and leverage its 5USA TODAY million-perStephanie son network to match with Schriock local volunteers interested in making phone calls, hosting house parties or just asking other women they know to run. “This is a moment for women across the country,” Stephanie Schriock, EMILY’s List president, said in an interview. “We’ve done some (recruitment), but never like this. We have made very good gains over those 32 years, but when a moment like this comes where women are feeling empowered to take charge and take control of their communities we want to be there and be encouraging and make sure they actually run.” Since Election Day, more than 4,000 women have reached out to EMILY’s List to say they want to run for office, including 1,660 since Jan. 20 alone. That’s four times the number who reached out in the previous 22 months combined.

Sex before ﬁrst date OK, but a cracked phone? Think again

Rules have changed, singles survey shows Mary Bowerman USA TODAY Network

If you thought sleeping with someone before a first date was a no-go, but texting during a date was OK, think again. While the rule of thumb may have been wait to have sex until a third date, 34% of singles have had sex before a first date, and Millennials are 48% more likely to have sex before a first date than

all other generations of singles, according to the annual Singles in America survey, funded by Dallasbased dating service Match and conducted by Research Now. Millennials especially are unencumbered by fears that may have held people back from sex in the past, says Helen Fisher a biological anthropologist and chief scientiﬁc adviser to Match, who helped develop the representative survey of more than 5,000 singles. “We have a real misunderstanding of Millennials,” she says. “I think they are very career-oriented, so sex before the ﬁrst date could be a ‘sex interview,’ where they want to know if they want to

spend time with this person.” In many ways sex has become a less intimate part of dating, says Kimberly Resnick Anderson, a licensed clinical social worker and certiﬁed sex therapist. With dating apps making it easier than ever to hop in bed, now the intimate part can oftentimes be introducing a partner to friends and family. “We used to think of sex as you crossed the line now you are in an intimate zone, but now sex is almost a given and it’s not the intimate part,” Anderson says. “The intimate part is getting to know someone and going on a date.” And while 40% of singles have dated someone they met online,

“Sex before the ﬁrst date could be a ‘sex interview,’ where they want to know if they want to spend time with this person.” Helen Fisher, Match.com

they don’t want technology to spill over to the actual dates. Before an actual date, 42% of singles said they judge a date by their social media posts. But one in four singles is turned off if a date answers his phone without any explanation, and more than half are turned off by texting

during the date. “It’s sort of a mixed message because on one hand people judge potential sexual partners based on social media posts, but then they also want them to put (their phones) down,” Anderson says. “It’s kind of a love-hate relationship.” Oh, and that cracked phone you’re waiting to upgrade? Time to lose it, Fisher says. “Singles don’t like people who have a cracked phone, or an old phone or those who use a clicking sound when typing,” she says. “I think we will see more of these taboos as singles are leading the way in expressing new forms of politeness in the technological era.”

Refugees could be arriving today v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that airlines operating out of Beirut’s Rafik Hariri International Airport allowed people from the seven affected countries to board U.S.-bound planes. In Egypt, Cairo airport officials told the Associated Press that 33 people from Yemen, Syria and Iraq boarded flights Sunday for the USA. The Royal Jordanian airline took a lighter tack, tweeting an ad: “Fly to the US on RJ now that you’re allowed to.” The ad included the words “Bon voyage!” with the first word tweaked to look as if it previously said “ban.” In Iran, Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif reversed an earlier decision and said visas will be granted to American wrestlers to travel to Iran for the 2017 Freestyle World Cup, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported. The fate of Trump’s executive order is far from resolved. Any decision emerging from the appeals court in the coming days is likely to be appealed further, probably up to the Supreme Court. More limited challenges to the ban also are pending in district courts in Massachusetts, New York, Virginia and Hawaii. The Justice Department, arguing its case Saturday in the appeal, accused Robart of “judicial second-guessing of the President” that constitutes an “impermissible intrusion” into Trump’s authority. “This is particularly true as to predictive judgments about the potential national security threat posed by a class of aliens,” the department said in its appeal. “A reviewing court would not be well-equipped to ascertain the quantum of risk, or what is a reasonable margin of error in assessing risk.” Trump was more succinct, tweeting that the “opinion of this so-called judge” would ultimately be overturned. “The judge opens up our country to potential terrorists and others that do not have our

Trump attacks judge again on travel order Pence says president ‘speaking his mind,’ predicts win in courts David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

President Trump continued to attack a federal judge Sunday who voided his travel ban from seven mojority-Muslim nations and said he would demand that homeland security officials give extra scrutiny to people entering the United States from those countries. “Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril,” Trump tweeted. “If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!” While his Justice Department appeals the decision by U.S. District Judge James Robart striking down the order, Trump also tweeted that he has “instructed Homeland Security to check people coming into our country VERY CAREFULLY. The courts are making the job very difficult!” Trump took to social media hours after Vice President Pence defended the president’s attack on Robart. Pence also predicted that a higher court eventually would uphold the measure in the name of national security. “We are going to win the arguments because we’re going to take the steps necessary to protect the country, which the president of the United States has the authority to do,” Pence said on Fox News Sunday, one in a series

of news show interviews. Pence told ABC’s This Week that Trump was “speaking his mind” when he denounced a “socalled” judge — Robart, who is based in Seattle — for ruling against the travel order. Early Sunday, a federal appeals court rejected a request by Trump’s Justice Department to immediately restore the measure; the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit based in San Francisco said a reply from the Trump administration is due Monday.

“I have no doubt that it will go to the Supreme Court.” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, DCalif., also speaking on Fox, said Trump exceeded his authority with the order and people are well within their rights to challenge it in court, probably to the highest in the land. “I have no doubt that it will go to the Supreme Court,” Feinstein said. Trump criticized Robart in a series of tweets, including this one: “The opinion of this socalled judge, which essentially takes la law-enforcement w-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!” The president also predicted ultimate vindication in the courts, telling reporters late Saturday that “we’ll win; for the safety of the country, we’ll win.” In a Super Bowl Sunday interview with Fox News, Trump said

his initial travel order held up only 109 people at airports, and “all we did was vet those people very, very carefully.” That figure is incorrect and refers only to people traveling at the time Trump signed the order on Jan. 27; the Department of Homeland Security reported that at least 940 people were denied boarding airplanes during that first weekend the order was in force. Critics condemned Trump’s criticism of the judge, and some Democratic senators said it should be an issue during confirmation hearings for the president’s new Supreme Court nominee, appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said Trump’s attack on Robart “shows a disdain for the independent judiciary” that will be explored during hearings, and Gorsuch’s “ability to be an independent check will be front and center throughout the confirmation process.” Republicans also criticized Trump’s use of the term “socalled” in criticizing the judge. “I think it is best not to single out judges for criticism,” said the Senate’s top Republican, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, on CNN’s State of the Union. Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., told ABC’s This Week that “we don’t have any so-called judges, we have real judges.” He said that Republicans predicted Gorsuch’s confirmation and that the Robart attack would not be a factor. Pence said Trump isn’t challenging the judge’s legitimacy, only his ruling.

best interests at heart,” Trump said on Twitter. “Bad people are very happy!” The State Department said it was restoring tens of thousands of canceled visas for foreigners. The Department of Homeland Security “suspended all actions” for enforcing the ban and instead began standard inspection of travelers. The State Department advised aid agencies Saturday that refugees set to travel before Trump signed the order will now be allowed in. A State Department official said in an email obtained by the Associated Press that the government was “focusing on booking refugee travel” through Feb. 17 and working to have arrivals resume as soon as Monday. Trump’s Jan. 27 executive order immediately sparked anger and confusion across the nation. Scores of incoming travelers were held up at U.S. airports, and many more were halted from boarding ﬂights bound for the United States. Protests erupted at airports and city halls nationwide. The ACLU and other advocacy groups urge travelers caught in limbo to act quickly. Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, applauded the weekend ruling as “another stinging rejection of President Trump’s unconstitutional Muslim ban.” Becca Heller, director of the New York-based International Refugee Assistance Project, stressed that previously issued visas would once again be valid unless they were stamped “canceled.” “The reinstatement of visas is the only right move to remedy the situation of the last week,” Heller said. The Trump administration had a different take. Vice President Pence made the rounds of the Sunday morning news shows, stressing the importance of the executive order. “The president of the United States has made it clear to put the safety of the American people ﬁrst,” Pence said on Fox News Sunday. “We are going to win this argument.”

Female Democratic candidates: EMILY’s List wants you v CONTINUED FROM 1B

It’s the latest example of Washington’s professional advocacy groups trying to harness the energy of a grass-roots movement shaping itself into a progressive resistance to Trump’s agenda. Other examples include growing ﬁnancial support for groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union and participation in protests organized by groups such as MoveOn.org outside the offices of U.S. lawmakers. Separately, the organizers of the women’s march are forming local chapters, which now number about 700, spokeswoman Kaylin Trychon says. The Emily’s List data correspond with anecdotes from local groups also trying to recruit and support female candidates. Dianne Bystrom, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University, helps run the Iowa workshops of a national network of training schools. The e-mails began rolling in on 9:30 a.m. the day after the election, she says. The February training sessions ﬁlled up in less than eight days and had to move to a local Holiday Inn to accommodate an estimated 125 attendees. It’s the third time in her lifetime, Bystrom says, that there has been this much interest in politics from women, citing the feminist movement of the 1970s. Then there was late 1991, when law

professor Anita Hill testiﬁed before the Senate Judiciary Committee that she was sexually harassed by Clarence Thomas during the Reagan administration. Thomas was undergoing conﬁrmation hearings for his nomination to the Supreme Court. Many women believed that Hill was questioned harshly, which spurred a wave of female candidates elected to the U.S. Senate in 1992, a cycle that was dubbed the “Year of the Woman.”

day” and “stand up.” If successful, the women’s efforts could help change the composition of local government. Every Latina, African-American and Asian-American Democratic congresswoman now serving in Congress is an EMILY’s List candidate. “What I love about all of this is they now realize that they weren’t alone in their communities,” Schriock says. According to Pew Research, only about 2% of Americans have

“This is a moment for women across the country. We’ve done some (recruitment), but never like this.” Stephanie Schriock, EMILY’s List president

“This is happening all over the country,” Bystrom says. It’s a reaction both to Trump’s agenda and the unexpected loss of the ﬁrst female candidate to represent a major political party, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, she says. A new Emily’s List video pictures women waking up to Trump’s victory on television, holding their tongues at a dinner table conversation, Googling stories about Republican plans to defund Planned Parenthood, lacing up their boots and putting on the signature pink hats from the Women’s March. “You’re ready to do something,” the video says, so “face the

ever run for federal, local or state elected office. Those tend to be white, male and well-educated. Women account for half of the adult population, yet they are just a quarter of those who say they have run for office. While women account for 20% of the U.S. Senate, 18% of the House and 24% of state legislators, only 10% of governors are women, Pew says. The interest in civic participation is converging with a revolution in technology that allows any American interested in running for office to pinpoint where the opportunities are, says Jim Cupples, director of RunForOffice.org, which crowdsources data from communities across the country

and is partnering with dozens of non-partisan groups. The site has seen a 131% increase in people signing up to run for local office since the election. Just in the past week, it has had 58,000 visits, 90% of which are new. Technology is driving a dramatic change in the traditional protocol for candidate recruitment whereby prospects are groomed by local party power brokers, Cupples says. “I shouldn’t have to be in the Rotary Club and have them tap me on the shoulder. You’re so much more capable now of running a campaign with the digital infrastructure that used to be a lot more expensive.” The most common initial rung for ﬁrst-time politicians is city council, because many of those positions are uncontested. For instance, on Cupples’ November 2014 Oregon ballot, two-thirds of the positions were unopposed or had no ﬁler. “That’s where all of the opportunity is,” he says. One major assumption underlining Clinton’s candidacy was that her election would motivate women to put themselves up for elections at all levels of government. In reality, Trump’s victory is a greater motivator, says Kari Winter, an expert on gender and race at the University of Buffalo: “Trump has provided a really powerful, galvanizing force for political engagement among people who thought they had the luxury to being disengaged.”

How long will we be stuck at Dow w 20,000? History ry say ays the market has run into trouble when stockk indexes hit big milestones. Adam Shell

SLOWLY Y PASSING A MILESTONE Percentage changes in the Dow Jones industrial average after it crossed a major milestone:

@adamshell USA TODAY

Price ceiling or launching pad? That’s the question investors are asking after the Dow Jones industrial average cracked the 20,000 barrier in late January. Despite all the hoopla and media coverage, history suggests that major milestones such as Dow 1,000, Dow 10,000 and now Dow 20,000 might not add up to the bullish storyline many investors might imagine. A review of past performances around what Wall Street dubs “big, round numbers” such as Dow 20,000 delivers a dose of reality. The Dow briefly crossed 1,000 for the first time in January 1966 but didn’t close above it until Nov. 14, 1972, then didn’t break free from 1,000 and above it for good until 10 years later in December 1982. The bottom line: The Dow traded near or below 1,000 for 16 years and was bludgeoned by the bear market in 1973-74 along the way. Dow 10,000 tracked a similar pattern of euphoria and despair. After the Dow’s first close above 10,000 in March 1999 during the dot-com stock boom, the Dow gained 17% before topping in early 2000. It then suffered through two major bear markets that saw drops of 38% and 54%. The Dow didn’t regain the 10,000 level for good until August 2010 and hasn’t traded below that level since. The takeaway: The Dow traded around 10,000 for more than 10 years. “These major milestones have marked notable hesitation points in history,” notes Todd Salamone,

senior vice president at Schaeffer’s Investment Research. Market milestones are often reached after big price run-ups in the stock market that propel indexes such as the Dow to record highs, push stock values into the pricey range and give pessimistic investors a good reason to sell. That’s why the question of where the Dow goes from here keeps coming up on Wall Street — especially after the Dow’s first foray above 20,000 lasted three days before sinking below the milestone the past four sessions. The case for Dow 20,000 as a barrier can’t be ruled out. “Will the Dow suffer as it did in the aftermath of the tech bubble, floundering for a decade before finally leaving 20K in the dust? Does the market follow that same

script?” Paul Nolte, senior portfolio manager at Kingsview Asset Management, wrote in a note to clients. It’s impossible to predict, but there are some risks to consider. For one, though tech stocks were the main sector that was wildly overvalued at the market top in 2000, “wide swaths of the market are trading well above historical normal valuations,” Nolte says. Although Wall Street is betting on President’s Trump policies to goose the economy and corporate earnings, such as cutting taxes and improving the business environment for U.S. companies, there’s always a chance the high expectations won’t be met, causing the market to retrench, he says.

“There are a few warning ﬂags, but not enough to cower in the corner, clutching wads of cash.” Paul Nolte, Kingsview Asset Management

“There are a few warning ﬂags but not enough to cower in the corner, clutching wads of cash, waiting for the storm to pass,” Nolte told clients. A more bullish point of view comes courtesy of Alan Skrainka, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth Management. He tells USA TODAY that the fact the Dow has hit milestones of 1,000, 10,000 and 20,000 is clear proof that the stock market’s long-term direction continues to be up, not down. “All ceilings or ‘trading ranges’ are temporary if viewed with a long-term perspective,” Skrainka says. “Pull out any long-term chart of the stock market, and you’ll only see one pattern — the long-term rising trend.” Skrainka says, “If you’re a longterm investor, Dow 20,000 will likely seem like a very small number in 10 years, even smaller in 20. At 6% annual price appreciation (the historical average), the Dow will likely double every 12 years.” Don’t confuse or compare 2017 with the period from 1966 to 1982, which was unusually terrible for the market because of soaring inﬂation and interest rates, Skrainka says. He stresses that 1999 was the “highest valued market ever.” That bullish theme was seconded by Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at Baird. “(The market is) certainly not bubbly,” Bittles says. “What we are witnessing is the result of a pro-business, pro-USA administration. I think the euphoria over the economy should be embraced because that should translate into spending and investment.”

President Trump’s imminent executive order that would place restrictions on the H-1B visa program is Silicon Valley’s loss, but could be Canada’s gain. Sunil Sharma is convinced so. His company, Extreme Venture Partners, next week plans to announce a new fund that will help up to ﬁve start-up founders and their families move to Toronto and Waterloo, Canada, and invest $100,000 in each if they are accepted to the VC’s accelerator. “Tech start-ups are a worldwide phenomenon and not limited to Silicon Valley,” says Sharma, who said the companies would be headquartered in Canada but maintain operations in their country of origin. “This was an issue before the current restrictive travel ban and imminent H-1B plan.” Across the country, in western Canada, a group of co-founders have formed a company, called True North, to help American companies quickly create subsidiaries in Canada and shift workers to a new business complex in Vancouver. They’re offering $6,000 in round-trip expenses to U.S. companies to make their case. Another organization, Go North Canada, urges natives to return home and extols the virtues of Canada as a tech destination. The USA’s northern neighbor — home to tech companies Rogers Wireless, IMAX, Hootsuite and Shopify — is making its strongest pitch yet for tech talent at a time when American companies recoil at Trump’s ﬁrst actions in office. Executives, companies

SHAROON THOMAS FOR USA TODAY T

CEO Sharoon Thomas says Fulﬁl.IO is moving to Toronto. and VCs are dangling money, gleaming new facilities, broadband access for all, and promises of economic stability and free health care — the latest moves by a region that for years has harbored dreams of skimming talent. What a difference a presidential election makes. For years, Canada could not compete with Silicon Valley on salary or facilities. If one wanted to make it in tech, they trekked to California, where the vast majority of career opportunities awaited. But with Trump’s initial actions, and more to come, expatriates of Canada and other nationalities are turning their eyes northward. They’re considering comparable pay, universal health care and diversity in the workforce — as well as the ability to share facilities with other start-ups, according to tech CEOs and venture capitalists in Canada.

Business-management software start-up Fulfil.IO plans to relocate its headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., to Toronto this year because of H-1B visa constraints and in an effort to be closer to all of its customers throughout the U.S. and Canada, says company CEO Sharoon Thomas, who is from India. “There is a big opportunity here,” says Ryan Holmes, CEO of Hootsuite, a 1,000-person company in Vancouver that designed a platform for managing social media. “We have seen a number of people reach out because of concerns over diversity” prompted by Trump’s travel ban and potential cuts to the H-1B program. Canadian tech companies are being flooded with dozens of resumes from engineers, operations, marketing and others in the U.S. Influitive, a business-to-busi-

ness marketing firm in Toronto, says it’s receiving 30 resumes a day. It recently landed a director of finance and operations who opted for Toronto instead of San Francisco. “Absolutely, it’s our chance to pick up tech talent in a highly competitive environment,” says Darryl Ballantyne, co-founder and CEO of LyricFind, a lyrics licensing service in Toronto. “It is often difficult for us to match salaries in U.S. because of the cost of living there.” More than 1,000 Canadian tech companies — including LyricFind, whose co-founder is of Moroccan descent — sent an open letter to Trump opposing his travel ban. Executives from Shopify, an ecommerce company based in Ottawa, this week signed an open letter to the Canadian government to offer immediate entry visas. “Canada is a country where the best talent from around the world can move here and do their life’s work,” Shopify Chief Operating Officer Harley Finkelstein said. “My dad was an immigrant when Canada let in 40,000 Hungarians into the country during the Hungarian revolution in 1955. Our family is here because of Canada’s inclusive policies and warmth.” Says Parsable CEO Yanda Erlich, a former Google and Microsoft employee: “This has been a conversation in the office. We could move employees who are foreign born from U.S. offices to Vancouver. It gives us flexibility and them some comfort.” Contributing: Elizabeth Weise in San Francisco

‘Moonlight’ star Naomie Harris wore a striking two-piece print outfit Saturday night at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where she received a Virtuosos Award. Seven other actors also were honored for having breakthrough years: Dev Patel, Aaron Taylor-J - ohnson, -J Mahershala Ali, Janelle Monáe, Ruth Negga, Simon Helberg and Stephen Henderson.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

For those who rank Darth Vader pretty high as Worst Dad Ever, meet Lord Garmadon. Voiced by Justin Theroux, the black-helmeted, four-armed supervillain aims to rule over Ninjago City, and a team of teenage ninjas — led by his estranged son, Lloyd Garmadon (Dave Franco) — aim to stop the operatic sociopath in The Lego Ninjago Movie (in theaters Sept. 22). “It’s about a son having to live with this father who’s a threat to Lego-manity (but) more about the son’s journey of forgiving him and learning to accept him for who he is,” Theroux says. Based on a popular toy line and animated TV show, Lego Ninjago is the third in the Lego series of interlocking ﬁlms, each with its own style: The successful Lego Movie in 2014 was the “call to adventure” project, The Lego Batman Movie (out Friday) features action and superheroes, and Lego Ninjago is a mix of the martial-arts

Lloyd is a seemingly unremarkable kid in his daily life, but when he becomes the masked Green Ninja of the Ninjago superteam, “he has much more conﬁdence ... and wants to do everything he can to protect his home,” Franco says. Also in his squad: the hothead-

the group’s teacher — as well as Lord Garmadon’s brother — and Franco says he and Lloyd have a Mr. Miyagi/Daniel relationship, à la The Karate Kid Kid. “It sometimes takes Lloyd a little while to grasp the lessons that Master Wu is trying to instill within him.” (Chan’s stunt team actually filmed the martial-arts sequences that the filmmakers animate over for the movie’s fights.) Hanging over Lloyd is the shadow of his father, who left him and his mother, Koko (Olivia Munn), when Lloyd was a baby. Lord Garmadon doesn’t exactly make the road to redemption easy. “I think he’s suffered a series of slights and cuts over the course of his life when people question his narcissism, so it’s made him more and more evil as a result,” Theroux says. For Theroux, the magic of the Lego movies like Ninjago is the blend of the distinctive look, playful energy and goofy humor that hits on multiple levels: Kids will dig Lord Garmadon riding a large mechanical shark with legs, while adults get the comedy of the supervillain frequently pestering Lloyd to find out if his ex-wife is seeing anybody. “ “Ninjago is one of the most insane places in the universe,” Theroux says. “So much of it makes no sense. It feels like it came out of the mind of a kid rather than out of the minds of some people sitting in a writers’ room.”

If you have questions about gender identity, a topic that’s increasingly part of the public conversation, Katie Couric understands. She does, too. Couric takes her journalism skills on the road in Gender Revolution: A Journey With Katie Couric, a two-hour National Geographic Channel special (Monday, 9 ET/PT), meeting sex and gender experts, trans men and women and college students whose identities go beyond binary gender roles. The documentary ties into a larger effort by National Geographic, which devoted its magazine’s January issue to the topic. “I hope I have provided the tools and the terms for people to have a conversation about gender in society and learn the stories of people who are maybe struggling with this issue or dealing with it ﬁrsthand,” she says in an interview. Couric, who anchored NBC’s Today and the CBS Evening News and now serves as Yahoo’s global news anchor, approached the topic with “respectful curi-

osity. I tried to be the Everyperson and ask the kind of questions that those who are not very familiar with the topic would ask: How does a child know with certainty that he or she is different than the gender they were assigned at birth? How can the partner of someone who transitions stay with that partner even though they’re now a different gender identity? What are the biological underpinnings? It’s a lot for people to wrap their heads around.” In Revolution, Couric talks with experts about identity, genetics and brain chemistry but also meets with people dealing with non-traditional gender situations, including a family raising a 5-year-old trans girl and a longtime married couple in which the

husband is now a trans woman. Couric credits Caitlyn Jenner for increasing the visibility of transgender people, but says it helps to meet a broader swath of that population. “We’ve often viewed gender non-conforming people in a way that sees them as such anomalies that we’ve other-ized them,” she says. “We all know that when you know someone that may not conform to whatever the norm is, it’s much easier to accept them as just people with the same hopes and dreams that all of us have.” The gender non-conforming population is small — about one in 1,500 to 2,000 babies is born with intersex traits, or sexual characteristics not fitting traditional definitions of male or female, the documentary says, citing estimates — but Couric says it’s hard to put a specific number on it. “Many people live their lives in secrecy or never really act on their feelings of gender identity, so I don’t really know if we know their true number,” she says. The historical rejection of people who are different in that way has led to higher rates of suicide still evident today. Revolution explores the societal conflict brought on by evolving gender identities and roles, as Couric visits Gavin Grimm, a Virginia trans teen whose use of the high-school boys’ bathroom resulted in a school-board prohibition and then a lawsuit by Grimm that is heading to the Supreme Court.

Dear Annie: I have a wonderful stepson and daughter-in-law. They are both social and attend most family events. Over the many years, they have been to our house for dinner more than 30 times and to other relatives’ homes for dinner, as well. The problem is that they never ask to bring anything and never come with a gift of any kind. I have asked them before to bring what they want to drink, and they don’t even do that. Our daughter-in-law says that because she didn’t bring a dish, she will help with the dishes. Our other guests bring something and still help clean up. The problem has lately become exacerbated because they have a baby in

tow and now don’t help clean up, as they have to leave early to put the baby to bed. How can I approach them without causing a rift and seeming like the ugly stepmom? My husband refuses to say anything. — Tired of the Empty-Handed

really that important. It’s no wonder his son never got the memo on how to be a good dinner guest. Next time you’re hosting, give your stepson and daughterin-law very specific instructions. Leave no wiggle room: ‘’Please do me a favor and bring an appetizer.’’ Putting it in those terms will make clear that the appetizer is not just for them and not just to be brought if they feel like it. It’s for helping you, the hostess. You really shouldn’t have to spell that sort of thing out, but as a mother figure, you’ll be doing them a favor.

‘APB’ more ridiculous than comedy Three shows with a similar premise mark more than a trend. “APB” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14) is the third network series this season about a tech genius with seemingly unlimited resources who revolutionizes a stodgy professional field. ‘‘Bull’’ and ‘‘Pure Genius’’ tackled jury selection and medicine, respectively. Now ‘‘APB’’ envisions a police precinct utterly transformed by technology. Justin Kirk (‘‘Weeds’’) stars as Gideon Reeves, an arrogant tech tycoon whose best friend is murdered by a convenience store robber right before his eyes. Frustrated by police red tape and his dependence on a force demoralized by budget cutbacks, Reeves bludgeons Chicago’s mayor into letting him take over its 13th District. He spends untold millions outfitting the force with powerful new squad cars, body armor, Tasers, highpowered drones and smartphones that are connected directly to the residents the force is supposed to protect and serve. What follows is the usual violent mayhem of a police procedural armed with the technical means of hyper-surveillance. It’s not unlike ‘‘24,’’ but on the meat-and-potatoes level of precinct policing. The gadgets bring a whole new level of nonsense and logical lapses to the proceedings. In one scene we see a Taser-armed drone capable of incapacitating a bad guy. Ten minutes later that same drone is used to monitor a violent felon during a chase scene, helping the fetching detective Theresa Murphy (Natalie Martinez) pursue him through alleyways and corridors. Why didn’t they zap him with the drone, just like before? The legal and ethical questions raised by this series would probably require a semester of constitutional law. Is the name Gideon Reeves a nod to Gideon v. Wainwright, the Supreme Court case that guaranteed defendants the right to legal counsel? ‘‘APB’’ is not strong on the rights of the accused. O “The Independent Lens” (9 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) documentary ‘‘Birth of a Movement’’ recalls mass mobilization of black demonstrators to protest the distribution of D.W. Griffith’s 1915 silent epic ‘‘The Birth of a Nation,’’ a glorification of the Ku Klux Klan. Tonight’s other highlights O Franco’s new flavors prove popular on “Superior Donuts” (8 p.m., CBS). O Lenny and Mary grieve in their own ways on “The Young Pope” (8 p.m., HBO). O Lindbergh lands in Paris on “Timeless” (9 p.m., NBC). O Alex informs Owen of a dangerous mole on “Quantico” (9 p.m., ABC). O “Solitary: Inside Red Onion State Prison” (9 p.m., HBO) documents several inmates in a Virginia penitentiary.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that 36-year-old Marvin Tibbs III of Topeka said during a court hearing Friday that he’ll seek funding for a specialist to examine his client. Tibbs is charged with alternate counts of reckless second-degree murder or involuntary manslaughter in the death of Trenton Feliciano. Tibbs also is charged with aggravated child endangerment, reckless driving, failure to stop at a stop sign and failure to wear protective gear. Authorities say Tibbs was giving Feliciano a ride on his motorized scooter in October 2014 when it crashed, fatally injuring the boy.

KU’s 2018 recruiting class grows to 6 late Saturday By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

If David Beaty had gone to bed early Saturday night, after he and his Kansas football assistant coaches secured four verbal commitments for their 2018 recruiting class, the KU head coach could’ve slept well following what already had to be considered a wildly successful day for the downtrodden program. Believe it or not, the Jayhawks’ banner recruiting day

was just getting started. Less than an hour before the clock struck midnight, Beaty was back at it on Twitter, with two additional “#NeatDeal” posts, indicating prospects had

chosen KU. And, as was the case three times earlier Saturday, those promises came from highly-touted Louisiana preps. Six-foot-2 receiver Ja’Marr Chase became not just the second receiver to commit on KU’s junior day, when a long list of Class of 2018 recruits were in Lawrence to check out Memorial Stadium and Anderson Family Football Complex, but the second four-star receiver to do so. A 185-pound wideout at Rummel High, in Metairie, La., Chase also has

offers from Arkansas, Florida, Ole Miss, TCU and several other programs, according to Rivals. Chase simply tweeted out “I am a Jayhawk,” Saturday night, a few hours after four-star receiver Devonta Jason, from New Orleans, made his announcement. Three-star safety Aaron Brule capped a remarkable day for KU recruiting within an hour of his high school teammate Chase’s declaration by following suit, making him the

fifth prep from Kansas running back coach Tony Hull’s home state of Louisiana to commit to Kansas that day. A 6-foot, 165-pound safety for Rummel, Brule also has offers from Arizona, Arkansas, Tennessee and others.

And it’s gonna be really fun.” As for what he expects to hear, see or experience from the always-wild Kansas State student section, Mykhailiuk admitted that he was bracing for the worst but added that he would not let the outside factors become a distraction. “You know, we will see,” he said when asked if he expected any special harassment. “But probably. I really don’t know. They (KSU fans) didn’t text me. I saw some funny stuff about my travel (on the Internet), but that’s it. I’m just trying to stay in my lane and play how I play.” As for the Jayhawks as a whole, there were mixed responses to the question about whether playing just two days after a tough home loss was a good thing for the program.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS’ TOM BRADY reacts after a two-point conversion during the second half of the NFL Super Bowl 51 game against the Atlanta Falcons, Sunday in Houston.

In epic comeback, Patriots win Super Bowl, 34-28 By Barry Wilner AP Pro Football Writer

Houston — Tom Brady led one of the greatest comebacks in sports history lifting New England from a 25-point hole to the Patriots’ fifth NFL championship in the first Super Bowl overtime. The Patriots scored 19 points in the final quarter, including a pair of 2-point conversions, then marched relentlessly to James White’s 2-yard touchdown run in overtime to beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 Sunday night. Brady, the first quarterback with five Super Bowl rings, guided the Patriots (17-2) through a tiring Atlanta defense for fourthquarter touchdowns on a 6-yard pass to Danny Amendola and a 1-yard run by White, which came with 57 seconds remaining in regulation. White ran for the first 2-pointer and Amendola did the deed with a reception on the second. Brady, winning Super Bowl MVP for a record fourth-time, finished 43 for 62, the most attempts in Super Bowl history, for 466 yards, also a record, and two touchdowns. “You know, we all brought each other back,” Brady said. “We never felt out of it. It was a tough battle. They have a great team. I give them a lot of credit. We just made a few

Having never been in such a pressurized environment, their previously staunch pass rush disappeared, and Brady tore them apart. “Deflategate” far behind them, Brady and coach Bill

Belichick won their 25th postseason game, by far a record. It’s hard to imagine a tenser victory. Belichick became the first coach with five Super Bowl crowns. The Patriots won the coin toss for overtime and it was no contest. Brady completed six passes. A pass interference call took the ball to the 2, and White scooted to his right and barely over the goal line. His teammates streamed off the sideline to engulf White as confetti streamed

down from the NRG Stadium rafters. It was almost an impossible dream for the Patriots a bit earlier. But helped by Matt Ryan’s fumble on a sack, a spectacular catch by Julian Edelman , and Brady’s passing, they never stopped coming. White had 14 receptions for 110 yards as the key weapon, but Brady hit seven different receivers. Until the Patriots took charge with their late surge, league MVP Ryan was outplaying Brady. It didn’t last.

Super Bowl ads go political in a big way AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

New York — Messages about America, inclusiveness — and, yes, even “four years of awful hair” — kept bubbling up in Super Bowl 51 ads from Airbnb, the NFL and a line of personal care products. But there was still plenty of escapism and light humor for those who weren’t into the politics. As the New England Patriots edged out the Atlantic Falcons on the field in Houston, Airbnb touted inclusiveness with an ad showing faces of different ethnicities and the copy: “We all belong. The world is more beautiful the more you accept.” Coca-Cola aired a previously run ad in the pregame in which people sing “America the Beautiful” in different languages. Even a hair care brand dipped into politics: The “It’s a 10” hair brand indirectly referenced Donald Trump famously unruly do in its Super Bowl spot. It’s tough to be a Super Bowl advertiser in during any year. But this year, a divisive political climate has roiled the nation since President Donald Trump took office in January, making it even tougher for advertisers. Paying $5 million for 30 seconds to capture more than 110 million expected viewers, advertisers had to walk the line with ads that appealed to everyone and didn’t offend. Some were more successful than others. “Anxiety and politics just loom over this game, so anybody who gives us the blessed relief of entertaining with a real Super Bowl commercial wins,” said Mark DiMassimo, CEO of the ad agency DiMassimo Goldstein. Several ads aimed for just that. Tide, for instance, offered a humorous ad showing announcer Terry Bradshaw trying frantically to remedy a stain while he goes “viral” online, with the help of New England Patriot Rob Gronkowski and actor Jeffrey Tambor.

Walking the political line Advertisers were treading carefully when it came to political themes. “When it comes to politics, most brands prefer to stand on the sidelines, for good reason,” said Kelly O’Keefe, a marketing professor at Virginia Commonwealth University. “Brands used to worry about whether

Falcons’ flop a new low for Atlanta’s sad sporting past By Paul Newberry AP Sports Writer

Atlanta — Well, Atlanta, there’s noahing left to say. The city once known as “Loserville” was cruising toward its first Super Bowl championship, leading Tom Brady and the mighty New England Patriots by 25 points. TWENTY-FIVE! Back in Atlanta, the city was all ready to bust loose in a celebration like no other, seemingly assured of finally putting to rest its history of sports flops. Then, it happened. The greatest flop of them all. This one will take a long, long time to get over. Brady engineered a stunning comeback, guiding the Patriots to a pair of touchdowns and a pair of 2-point conversions that sent the Super Bowl to overtime for the first time. At that point, it was a mere formality. The Patriots won the coin toss. Of course. The Patriots drove right down the field for the championship-winning touchdown. Of course. The final: New England 34, Atlanta 28. This one will go down as one of the greatest title games in NFL history. That’s little consolation to Atlanta. In the A-T-L, this will join the Braves blowing a 6-0 lead in Game 4 of the 1996 World

Series, the Hawks squandering a chance to eliminate Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics in the 1988 NBA playoffs, Danny White leading the Dallas Cowboys back from 10 points down in the fourth quarter to beat the Falcons in a 1981 playoff game. But, really, nothing comes close to this level of sporting disappointment. The Falcons spent 2 1/2 quarters playing with the swagger and confidence of a team that wasn’t the least bit concerned about their city’s history. Even in the closing minutes,

LJWorld.com/highschool • Facebook.com/LJWorldpreps • Twitter.com/LJWpreps

after the Patriots made a game of it, Atlanta was in position to put the victory away when Julio Jones made a stunning catch along the sideline, going to rip the ball away from a defender and somehow getting both feet down before tumbling out of bounds at the New England 22. With under 5 minutes remaining and the Falcons still up 28-20, all they needed to do was run three more plays and set up for a field goal by Pro Bowl kicker Matt Bryant that would finally put the Patriots away.

Devonta Freeman was thrown for a 1-yard loss, but that was OK. But then, instead of another run, Ryan dropped back to pass. He was thrown for a 12-yard loss and, just like that, the Falcons were on the fringe of Bryant’s range. Any hope for a field goal was lost when Jake Matthews was called for a holding penalty that set Atlanta back another 10 yards. Ryan followed with an incomplete pass, and the Falcons were forced to punt it back to Brady and a Patriots team that was suddenly brimming with bravado. It wasn’t the least bit shocking when they marched right down the field, 91 yards, for James White’s short touchdown run. It wasn’t the least bit shocking when Brady hooked up with Danny Amendola on a 2-point pass that tied the game with 57 seconds remaining. It wasn’t the least bit shocking when the Falcons, without any timeouts, failed to muster anything on their final offensive possession. It wasn’t the least bit shocking when the Patriots won the toss and drove down the field one more time, 75 yards in just eight plays, and finished off the Falcons with a 2-yard touchdown run. The city of Atlanta had seen it all before.

It’s too early to know if he’ll play, but he is expected to be in the building. That’s the latest on Kansas forward Carlton Bragg Jr., who has been suspended indefinitely since Jan. 26 and has missed the Jayhawks’ last three games. K a n sas coach Bill Self told the JournalWorld via text mes- Bragg sage that Bragg made the trip to Manhattan with the team on Sunday evening but that he had not yet decided if Bragg would play against Kansas State, 8 p.m. Monday on ESPN’s Big Monday. Bragg, a sophomore from Cleveland, was suspended for the second time this season following what Self deemed “a violation of team rules.” Four days later it was revealed that Bragg had been charged with possession of drug paraphernalia in a case stemming from a rape investigation at the team’s on-campus

KU coach Bill Self said he thought the quick turnaround came at a bad time, but mostly because he would always like to get more rest for his thin rotation. “You can’t work (Sunday) when you’ve got four guys that play over 40 minutes (vs. Iowa State),” Self said following Saturday’s game. “We may shoot, we may walk over something, but there’s no way you can keep them on their feet. And, if it was a win where everyone played 20 minutes, it would be 45-minute practice. As much as I would like to get us to guard the ball and keep it in front of us, it won’t be one of those days.” On the other side of

McCarthy Hall dormitory. Bragg, 21, has since been granted a diversion in the drug paraphernalia case. Bragg did not make the trip with the Jayhawks to No. 4 Kentucky and also was absent from Allen Fieldhouse during KU’s last two home games, a win over No. 2 Baylor and Saturday’s loss to Iowa State. Self, who also sat Bragg for one game in December for his involvement in a battery case which he later was cleared of any wrongdoing, has said very little about Bragg’s status during the past couple of weeks, only confirming that there had been no change in his status. The Jayhawks (20-3 overall, 8-2 Big 12) and Wildcats (16-7, 5-5) are playing a rematch of their Jan. 3 game at Allen Fieldhouse, which KU won 90-88 when Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk hit a running layup as time expired. The shot was deemed controversial because Mykhailiuk appeared to travel before releasing the shot. That memory along with Bragg’s status figure to make Monday a wild night in Manhattan.

the equation, senior point guard Frank Mason III and a couple of his teammates said they were happy the next game came quickly because they wanted to erase the memories of the Iowa State loss as quickly as possible. “I think it’s a great thing,” M a s o n Self said of the two-day turnaround. “It gives us a chance to get back and respond to this loss at home and prepare for when it really matters.” Added Mykhailiuk: “It’s really tough. They have a really good home-court advantage and they’re always pumped up to play against us. We just need to be focused the whole time, the whole game.”

Junior guard Chayla Cheadle didn’t even try to plead her case. She merely gave the official a puzzled look. In the third quarter on Sunday, Cheadle was hit with a technical on a dead ball play. The sequence turned into a sixpoint swing in a matter of seconds for TCU, which proved to be detrimental as the Kansas women’s basketball team fell, 8068, at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks are now 1-11 in Big 12 play, including a series sweep by the Horned Frogs. “They had the technical, which was strange. I’ll have to look at that, I didn’t really understand it,” Kansas coach Brandon Schneider said. “Not saying we didn’t deserve it but I didn’t see the play. I thought the big difference in the third quarter was they just lived at the free throw line.” For the afternoon, TCU went 21-of-25 at the free-throw line, including an 11-of-13 clip during the third quarter. But it was the 4-of-4 effort in a single possession that haunts KU the most after its 16th loss of the season. Following a layup by TCU junior AJ Alix (25 points) at the 6:41 mark in the third period, the visiting team quickly jumped into its full court pressure defense. It was there that Alix sat with her back turned to the baseline, hovering over the ball. Cheadle, the in-bounder, noticed the ball wasn’t going to roll to her so she proceeded to walk up and grab it. She pushed Alix in attempt to reach down to grab the ball, and the official, Amy Bonner, wasted no time hitting her with the technical. Cheadle was left confused while the Horned Frogs rejoiced. Though, Schneider didn’t see it from his viewpoint, he had an easy solution to not getting that call again. “Make the officials go get the ball, that’s all I know,” Schneider said. “If you can’t go get the ball, I guess go make the

On the impending inbound play, Alix received the pass on the baseline, where she was fouled on a jump shot by sophomore Kylee Kopatich. The team’s leading scorer netted both the free throws to increase their advantage to nine at the 6:32 mark. It capped an 8-0 run, sparked by six points in nine seconds, to give the Horned Frogs their largest lead at that moment. “That was big, I didn’t even see what happened,” TCU coach Raegan Pebley said. “The fact that we were able to convert and got to the free throw line off our baseline out of bounds play. So that was a big swing. Those kind of things are out of a coach’s hands completely.” KU was never able to recapture the lead from that moment on, despite making a late push in the third quarter. Both junior Jessica Washington (27 points) and senior Caelynn Manning-Allen (14 points) fueled their own 8-0 stretch in the closing minutes to pull within two points at the 1:14 mark. However, Amber

months back he wasn’t surprised by the success he had experienced in recruiting Louisiana. “I would say I’ve been humbled by the support I’ve received from my family back at home. When I say my family, I mean high school coaches in Louisiana and the parents and the support staff and the administration at the high schools,” Hull said long before anyone realized just how much he was accomplishing. “Everyone’s been

extremely supportive of the move I made and trying to help build that bridge back to Louisiana.” Clayton Tune, a 6-foot2 quarterback from Texas, also committed to Kansas Saturday, giving the Jayhawks six members to kick off next year’s class, on the weekend following 2017’s National Signing Day. KU’s momentous weekend had the program sitting pretty in Rivals’ preliminary Class of 2018 recruiting class rankings.

While all verbal commitments are non-binding and each team’s class as a whole won’t become official for close to a year, on National Signing Day, Kansas currently has the seventh-best class in the nation — trailing just toprated Penn State, Florida State, USC, Notre Dame, Clemson and Miami (Fla.). Over the past few years, according to Rivals, KU’s recruiting classes ranked 56th in 2017, 85th in 2016, 68th in 2015, 55th in 2014 and 45th in 2013.

NBA Roundup The Associated Press

Celtics 107, Clippers 102 Boston — Isaiah Thomas stole the spotlight from Paul Pierce on Sunday, scoring 28 points to lead Boston to its seventh straight victory, a win over Los Angeles in Pierce’s final game in the Garden. Al Horford had 13 points and a season-high 15 rebounds for the Celtics, who brought Pierce to tears with a first-quarter highlight video. Thomas also had eight assists. Blake Griffin and Jamal Crawford scored 23 apiece, and DeAndre Jordan had 16 rebounds for Los Angeles, which lost for the sixth time in eight games. Pierce’s only points came on a 3 after checking in with 19 seconds left and the game out of reach. The 39-year-old Pierce, a former Celtics captain, has said he will retire after the season. He had not played since Dec. 31, but former Celtics coach Doc Rivers put him in the starting lineup so he could have a fitting farewell. L.A.

THREE KEYS FOR KANSAS

Even Superman needed help

Defend the 3

Kansas out-shot Kansas State 11-7 from behind the 3-point line in the first meeting and limited the Wildcats to decent but not great 33 percent shooting from long range. While that number surely would be acceptable in this one, look for KU’s 3-point defense to take on extra importance given the fact that the Jayhawks are coming off of a game in which they allowed Iowa State to set a school record with 18 3-point makes during Saturday’s loss to the Cyclones. A lot of the talk after the loss to ISU was about scouting-report discipline and not losing focus when the shot clock winds down. That happened to Kansas a couple of times against Iowa State and the Jayhawks paid dearly for it, particularly inside the final minute of overtime when ISU’s Donovan Jackson drilled a 3 from the corner to put ISU up four with 28 seconds remaining. Beyond that, it is imperative that the Jayhawks dig in defensively against K-State’s guards, particularly point guard Kamau Stokes, whom Self said last month was “the key” to the Wildcats’ team.

Kansas point guard Frank Mason III pushed his Big 12-leading scoring average back up over the 20 points per game mark on Saturday with a 32-point outburst against ISU. Mason was the only KU player who consistently performed well on the offensive end and KU big man Landen Lucas said the Jayhawks needed to help their point guard out more by running good offense and providing more offensive threats. The Jayhawks got exactly that in the first meeting with K-State, as five Kansas players reached double figures in scoring and KU shot 53 percent from the field, with 21 assists on 33 field goals. With a thin bench and key players playing big minutes, it’s crucial for Kansas to help lighten the load on Mason’s shoulders by bringing two or three other players who can help handle the scoring and carry the offense from time to time.

MEGA MATCHUP KU’s Josh Jackson vs. K-State’s Dean Wade

try that just missed. Wade shot 50 percent from the floor and was 8-of-9 from the free throw After three miserable games line, as he used his size, athletiagainst the Jayhawks during his cism and toughness to give the freshman season, Kansas native Jayhawks problems. Dean Wade finally came up big Jackson, who touched K-State against KU in the first meeting for 22 points, 9 rebounds and between the two Sunflower State 6 assists in the first meeting, rivals this season. out-did Wade in the individual Wade, a 6-foot-10, 235-pound battle and likely will have to do it sophomore from St. John, Kansas, again in this one, using his length, delivered 20 points, 3 rebounds quickness and superior athletiand 2 steals in 34 minutes cism to slow Wade down when against the Jayhawks and nearly K-State is on offense. — Matt Tait won the game with a late 3-point

Slow down DJ

Kansas State forward DJ Johnson, whom Self called one of his favorite players in the Big 12 because of how hard he plays, struggled with foul trouble during the first meeting between these two teams and never really got going. When Johnson was on the floor, he was an absolute load to handle and nearly impossible to stop. His size, strength and tenacity while posting up pushed Landen Lucas deep under the basket and gave Johnson easy looks at the rim, which helped the Wildcats nearly complete the comeback. KU will not be able to afford a similar performance from Johnson in this one, especially if he’s able to stay on the floor for more than the 22 minutes he played in the first game. Look for the Jayhawks to double the post a lot when Johnson catches it and send all five players to the glass to help Lucas rebound against an active K-State front line. — Matt Tait

JAYHAWK PULSE Nobody has to tell the Jayhawks how big games in Manhattan can be, but the fact that Kansas is entering this year’s trip down I-70 on the heels of a heartbreaking home loss over the weekend should only sharpen the Jayhawks’ focus. That only matters so much, though, as plenty of Kansas teams have walked into Bramlage Coliseum focused only to come unraveled when the Wildcats get rolling on the home crowd in the famed “Octagon of Doom” gets things rocking.

In a crazy twist of fate, the Jayhawks actually owe the Wildcats a big thank you entering this one. K-State’s victory over Baylor over the weekend helped Kansas maintain sole possession of first place in the Big 12 standings even though the Jayhawks also lost over the weekend. It’s not likely that KU will be in the giving mood in this one so that thank you may have to come at season’s end. — Matt Tait
