By Rochelle Valverde

Twitter: @RochelleVerde

As the Kansas Legislature works to meet the Supreme Court order calling for a new school funding formula, keep your ears open for one figure in particular: 65 percent. Some education policy

makers have said they would like to see districts spending a higher percent of their budgets on instruction, and a common suggestion is at least 65 percent of operating expenses. The Lawrence school district doesn’t quite meet that mark, but some school officials believe it is the

wrong target anyway. “I think that the mechanism that’s being used for determining what dollars are getting to students is asking the wrong question, honestly,” said Vanessa Sanburn, president of the Lawrence school board. Please see BUDGET, page 8A

to students is asking the wrong question, honestly.”

— Vanessa Sanburn, president of the Lawrence school board

The group behind a policy banning tobacco from Lawrence parks is now turning its efforts toward raising the tobaccopurchasing age to 21 in Lawrence and other Douglas County cities. The Tobacco-Free Living work group, part of the community health coalition LiveWell Lawrence, decided at its Feb. 1 meeting that establishing a city ordinance to raise the tobacco-purchasing age should be its highest priority. Charlie Bryan, a community health planner at the Lawrence-Douglas Richard Gwin/Journal World-Photo County Health Department, said the goal is to reduce youth tobacco use by “cutting off the social supply chain” and creating an age gap between high school students and those legally able to purchase tobacco.

ELECTION 2016

Kansas voters prepare for caucuses as candidate field narrows By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Republican and Democratic party officials in Douglas County are hoping for big turnouts in the March 5 caucuses, when Kansas voters will get to choose whom they want to be their party’s presidential nominees.

One of the biggest uncertainties for local officials in both political parties, though, is how many candidates will still be in the race by March 5, because that will have a lot to do with how many voters decide to show up. “I really have no way of knowing, but I expect a bigger turnout than last time,” said Douglas County Republican Chairwoman Kathleen Ammel.

As a Sargent, he worked in radar and radio as a repairman, while serving at various military bases in the United States, as well as a year in Japan as part of an occupation and replacement depot, and a year in Europe. One of his proudest moments was serving in Germany as part of the Berlin airlift.

Several quakes rattle Midwest Oklahoma City (ap) — A 5.1 magnitude earthquake shook northwest Oklahoma and was felt in seven other states Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey said, the third-strongest temblor ever recorded in the state where the power and frequency of earthquakes has dramatically increased in recent years. The earthquake centered about 17 miles north of Fairview in northwestern Oklahoma occurred at 11:07 a.m. and was reportedly felt across Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico and Texas, the USGS said. At least 10 smaller quakes ranging in magnitude from 2.5 to 3.9 were recorded in the same area by late Satur-

day afternoon, according to the USGS. A magnitude 3.1 quake occurred near Crescent, about 75 miles east of Fairview, the USGS said. Oklahoma’s stronger and more frequent earthquakes have been linked to the injection into the ground of the briny wastewater left over from oil and gas production. The 10 earthquakes Saturday were in the same lightly populated area near Fairview, a town of about 2,600 that’s about 100 miles northwest of Oklahoma City. The area has had several quakes of magnitude 4.0 since the start of the year. Geologists say earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 to 3.0 are generally the smallest that are felt by

humans, and damage is not likely in quakes below magnitude 4.0. Fairview police and the Major County Sheriff’s Office had no reports of injury or significant damage. Sheriff’s dispatcher Cheryl Landes said there had been several calls from concerned residents, but no damage more than pictures knocked off shelves and walls. The hundreds of recent quakes have been mostly small to medium sized, and have caused limited damage. But a quake did knock out power in parts of an Oklahoma City suburb several weeks ago, and last month about 200 unhappy residents packed a forum at the state capitol convened by critics of the state’s response.

He is survived by his sons, Rick Daniels (and wife, Sharon) and Craig Daniels all of Lawrence, KS; stepdaughter, Rogene Burton of Stillwater, OK; his brother, Richard Daniels of Kansas City, KS; sister, Joyce Hixon of Sikeston, MO; and sister, Janet McDonald of Goodlettsville, TN.

Crowdfunding comes to KU

Safer seating

——

Users can back mini-projects through new Endowment site By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

In hopes of enabling mini-projects such as replacing 10 musicians chairs at Swarthout Recital Hall or bringing therapy dogs to campus for stressed students, Kansas University Endowment has launched its own version of Kickstarter. KU Endowment’s crowdfunding initiative, called Launch KU, saw

its first batch of projects led by various KU offices and initiatives kick off in November. The second batch, active now, features campaigns that will wrap up in mid-April. It’s a new and different approach — with a different target audience — from Endowment’s yearslong, multimillion-dollar building campaigns with glossy mailings and grand opening events.

Most Launch KU campaigns have goals “in the thousands of dollars, not in the hundreds of thousands,” said David Decker, KU Endowment’s senior director of annual giving. “All gifts matter at all levels, and these are the kinds of things you can tangibly do,” Decker said. The current Launch KU lineup features eight campaigns. The Swarthout Recital Hall project aims to raise $2,600 to purchase 10 “proper” musicians chairs and a rolling storage rack for the recently renovated hall, and so far has attracted a handful of donations ranging from $25 to $100, according to the project page at www. launchku.org. Watkins Health Services is trying to raise $5,000 to bring dogs from Loving Paws Animal Assisted Therapy Program to campus. According to its project page, $25 buys a vest for one dog, and $50 funds an hour of therapy dogs on campus. A KU Libraries project seeking $50,000 to digitize the University Archives’ Phog Allen collection — including letters between Allen and former U.S. Sen.

In addition to its new Launch KU crowdfunding platform, Kansas University Endowment on Monday will kick off the second year of its crowdfunding platform for student initiatives, Ever Onward. It runs through April 10, with campaigns online at www.everonwardkue.org. “It’s a way to help students learn how to fund raise, a way to help students partner with Endowment,” said Rosita Elizalde-McCoy, KU Endowment’s senior vice president for communications and marketing. Last year, 1,243 donors made gifts totaling $26,852 through Ever Onward, ElizaldeMcCoy said. One key difference from Launch KU?

The School of Engineering is trying its first crowdfunding project through Launch KU, to raise money to recruit and support minority and female engineering students. “For a while, we’ve wanted to bolster the opportunities and scholarships that we have for diverse and women students,” engineering dean Michael Branicky said. “We thought this was a way that we could expand our reach to the largest possible audience we could.” It’s the type of initiative the engineering school couldn’t do without donations, Branicky said. The project’s goal of $100,000 is by far the largest of current Launch KU campaigns. Branicky noted that, in this case, KU Endowment also was applying “traditional” channels to raise funds. “We set the bar pretty high,” he said. “We think it’s a worthwhile effort that will resonate with a lot of folks.” If the campaign doesn’t make $100,000, its Launch KU page indicates that just $100 is enough to send one high school student to the Society of Women Engineers Weekend of Engineering, and $500 enables a high school student to attend KU’s Engineering Discovery Summer Camp. “Every dollar raised counts,” Branicky said. — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at 832-7187 or sshepherd@ljworld.com.

Budget patches have legislators seeing broad problems Topeka (ap) — As Kansas legislators prepare to close a deficit largely with budget juggling, a growing number are seeing broad problems with how the state has managed its finances under Republican Gov. Sam Brownback. The conservative governor’s critics blame his aggressive tax-cutting policies for crises across state government that include inadequate employee pay at state prisons and short staffing in state mental hospitals. Lawmakers in both parties also argued in recent debates that Brownback’s proposed solutions would simply paper over the state’s budget gap rather than close it.

Even some of Brownback’s allies acknowledged they’ll be largely doing a quick patch with legislation to eliminate a projected deficit of nearly $200 million in the state’s $16.1 billion budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1. “I agree we’re upsidedown, and we need some long-term corrections,” said Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican. Some legislators also saw a quick budget patch as foolish after the Kansas Supreme Court struck down a school funding law enacted last year. The court said the law violated the state constitution by shorting poor school districts on their

Senators seek to stop STAR bond projects Wichita (ap) — Kansas senators want to keep Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration from approving new economic development projects that they say cost the state sales tax revenue. Senators approved a budget bill Thursday that carried an amendment preventing the state Department of Commerce from approving any new sales tax revenue, or STAR, bond projects in this fiscal year and the next. The STAR bonds program, which allows municipalities to use sales tax revenue to pay off the bonds, has been used to finance the construction of tourist attractions and entertainment districts. Some lawmakers contend the program should be temporarily halted because of the state’s financial problems, The Wichita Eagle reported. Sen. Jim Denning, an Overland Park Republican and vice chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, offered the amendment, which he said is intended to keep Brownback from using STAR bonds to entice the American Royal to move into Kansas. The American Royal, a 117-year-old event in Kansas City, Mo., includes horse and livestock shows, rodeos and the World Series of Barbecue. He said he crafted the legislation after noticing that about $42 million in sales tax revenue that should have been returning to the state general fund after a STAR bonds project ended wasn’t being counted in revenue estimates for the next fiscal year. He said he asked the Department of Commerce about it. “The initial response was the $42 million is not going to come to the

state, it’s going to be directed to the American Royal STAR bonds project,” he said. Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley confirmed that Brownback wants to bring the American Royal to Kansas. “The governor is always working on a variety of economic development projects to create jobs and grow the Kansas economy,” she said. “The American Royal is one of them.” Denning said he does not approve of that use of STAR bonds given Kansas’ budget challenges. “The governor’s put us on a sales tax-consumption tax policy,” Denning said. “He’s let 300,000 business owners not pay tax on their personal income, and he’s made 3 million Kansans pay higher sales tax to accomplish that. And then we’re supposed to balance the budget on sales tax revenue.” The Department of Commerce, which currently has the sole authority to approve or deny proposed projects, said the program is used to develop regional attractions that will spur a significant economic impact. It refused to release a list of current projects Friday.

“

I agree we’re upside-down, and we need some long-term corrections.” — Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita aid. The cost of complying could exceed $100 million, and the budget legislation being considered was drafted before the ruling and doesn’t address the issue. Kansas has struggled to balance its budget since Brownback successfully pushed Republican legislators to slash personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 in an effort to stimulate the economy. The state cut its top rate by 29 percent and exempted more than 330,000 farmers and business owners

Police investigating Saturday stabbing A 39-year-old Lawrence man is in stable condition after being stabbed multiple times Saturday night, according to Lawrence police. Around 8 p.m. Saturday, emergency responders found the man critically injured inside an apartment in the 2100 block of Haskell Avenue, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Ted Bordman. He said he is not sure where the stabbing occurred. An investigation is ongoing, Bordman said. No arrests had been made as of Saturday night. Bordman said there are currently no suspects, but he does not think nearby residents have reason to be concerned. The victim was transported by air ambulance to an area trauma center, Bordman said. Bordman could not confirm whether the stabbing was a random attack or someone known to the victim. No further information was available Saturday night.

programs. But Democrats and Republican moderates contend that under Brownback, the budget maneuvering has grown worse. For example, following diversions of highway dollars to other programs, the state Department of Transportation issued $400 million in bonds in December — and structured them to pay only interest for the first 10 years. Critics compared the move to financing government with a credit card. “This house of cards cannot go on for very much longer,” Rep. Don Schroeder, a Hesston Republican, said during his chamber’s most recent budget debate.

from having to pay income taxes. Brownback contends that growth from the tax cuts is cushioning Kansas from slumps in agriculture and energy production. He and his allies also argue that his latest recommendations would balance the budget without touching aid to public schools or other important programs, such as social services. “While some continue to cry ‘the sky is falling,’ the Governor and the members of the Legislature that have chosen to

actually participate in the governing of the state have been hard at work trying resolve the very issues their critics claim to be concerned about,” Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said by email. Brownback’s recommendations for the next fiscal year would divert funds set aside for highway projects, book unanticipated savings in various programs and count on raising $25 million from selling off an economic development agency’s assets. Allies argue that Brownback is being criticized for the kind of budget maneuvers that other governors have used in the past to cover shortfalls, such as diverting highway funding to general government

Health chair Caucus ousted over attempted Obamacare vote

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Topeka (ap) — The Kansas Senate president has removed a fellow Republican colleague as chair of the chamber’s health committee, saying she showed “complete disrespect” by trying to bring a Medicaid expansion bill to the floor for the purpose of voting it down. Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook disclosed that Senate President Susan Wagle had removed her as chair of the Public Health and Welfare Pilcher-Cook Committee in a statement Friday. “Instead of allowing members to stand on principle and vote their conscience, she seeks to push conservative principles aside and push her own political agenda,” Pilcher-Cook said. During a debate over legislation to require the use of step therapy for Medicaid patients, PilcherCook offered the Medicaid expansion amendment, saying the House needed to know where the Senate stood on Medicaid expansion, which has not made it to the House floor. The Senate Rules Committee ruled the amendment out of order, which PilcherCook appealed, forcing a vote over whether to allow debate on the amendment. Wagle said the vote on the rules challenge gave the appearance among some members that they were casting a vote on whether or not they support Medicaid expansion. Wagle responded Saturday to Pilcher-Cook’s statement, saying that Pilcher-Cook had shown “complete disrespect” for the Senate and its rules by bringing the amendment in that manner. “Breaking the rules of the Senate and putting senators unnecessarily in a position of choosing between upholding the rules of the body or being seen as supporting Obamacare is unacceptable for any committee chair. It showed complete disrespect for the body and its rules,” Wagle said. “I hope that Senator PilcherCook’s removal makes that point very clear.” Wagle has tapped Sen. Michael O’Donnell, a fellow Wichita Republican, to head the committee on an interim basis.

By the time those contests are over, nearly a third of all the Republican delegates, and a fourth of all the Democratic delegates, will already have been chosen. “There’s a chance the race could be decided after the Super Tuesday primaries,” said Clay Barker, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party Originally, 11 Republicans and four Democrats filed to be on the ballots in Kansas. But just since the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primaries, several of those have dropped out of the race or suspended their campaigns. Kerry Gooch, executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party, said Democratic voters can still caucus for any candidate they choose, even though Martin O’Malley, the former Maryland governor, has officially suspended his campaign. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are still in a competitive race. And dark horse candidate Roque De La Fuente, a San Diego businessman, will be on the ballot as well. On the Republican side, Barker said, there are only six active candidates left: Donald Trump; Marco Rubio; Ted Cruz; Jeb Bush; John Kasich; and Ben Carson. Carly Fiorina, who recently suspended her campaign, will be on the ballot because her campaign did not ask to be withdrawn before the ballots had to be printed, Barker said. Both parties will also give voters the option of declaring themselves “uncommitted.” That could be important in the event of a close contest in either party because uncommitted delegates can go to the national convention and vote for whomever they choose on the first ballot.

Where to caucus The two major parties have different caucus sites and different

rules about which site to choose. For Democrats, polling sites are determined by the voter’s State Senate District. Voters in District 2, represented by Francisco, will caucus at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School, 1400 Massachusetts St. That district includes most of the city of Lawrence north of 23rd Street and Clinton Parkway, and all of Lecompton. It also includes parts of Kanwaka, Lecompton and Wakarusa townships. Voters in District 3, represented by Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, will caucus at Eudora High School, 2203 Church St. That district includes Baldwin City, Eudora and part of Lawrence south of 23rd Street and Clinton Parkway. It also includes Eudora and Palmyra townships, along with parts of Grant, Wakarusa and Willow Springs townships. Voters in District 19, represented by Sen. Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, will vote at Highland Park High School, 2424 SE California St., in Topeka. That district stretches into western Douglas County and includes a small portion of extreme southwest Lawrence. It also includes Clinton and Marion townships, along with parts of Kanwaka, Lecompton and Wakarusa townships. Republicans will have two caucus locations in Douglas County, and voters are free to choose whichever location is most convenient for them, Barker said. Those locations are Southwest Middle School, 2511 Inverness Drive in Lawrence, and the Baldwin City Library, 800 Seventh St., in Baldwin City.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

When to caucus Republican caucus locations will be open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. At the Lawrence location, Ammel said, representatives of the various campaigns will give short speeches on behalf of their candidates from 10 to 11 a.m. Voters can then cast their ballots anytime until 2 p.m. For Democrats, voters should show up between 1 and 3 p.m. to register. Everyone must be in line by 3 p.m. From there, they divide into their preference groups. A candidate must get at least 15 percent of the attendees to be considered viable. Voters in those smaller, “nonviable” camps will then be given a chance to join one of the

larger groups. At the end of the process, voters will be asked to sign a sheet declaring which candidate they caucused for.

Who is eligible to vote The Kansas Republican Party limits participation to voters who were registered Republicans by Feb. 4. The Democratic caucuses are open to anyone who is eligible to vote in state of Kansas and who will be 18 years old by Election Day, Nov. 8. But they must be a resident of the Senate district in which they vote. They also must be registered as a Democrat, although voters can fill out registration forms and

affiliate with the party at the caucus site.

Absentee voting Republicans have made provisions to allow military personnel, disabled individuals and others who cannot be physically present on the day of the caucuses to participate. Those voters can request an absentee ballot by calling the state party headquarters at 785-234-3456. The Kansas Democratic Party has no such provision. Gooch said under state party rules, voters must be physically present at the caucus site in order to vote. — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

Dems take aim at Citizens United

EDITORIALS

Action warranted City officials have a responsibility to local taxpayers to make sure The Oread redevelopment agreement is being properly carried out.

he city of Lawrence has taken an important step in holding the developers of The Oread hotel to the terms of a redevelopment agreement that calls for a large percentage of local sales tax collected in the Oread taxing district to be rebated to the developers. Last week, the city declared the Oread Inn development group to be in default on that agreement because it hadn’t abided by the section requiring mutual assistance in carrying out the agreement and its intent. Hours later, attorneys for Oread Inn declared the city to be in default because it had been withholding tax rebates due to the developer since June. The Oread Inn response also referred to the city’s decision to declare default as “aggressive.” Many local residents would applaud “aggressive” action on this matter. It’s a positive sign that the city believes the redevelopment agreement gives it the legal basis to terminate the agreement if it doesn’t receive additional cooperation from the developers. The city specifically has been concerned that Oread Wholesale, which is listed as a tenant of The Oread, has improperly manipulated sales tax data to inflate city rebates on the project. Officials also have been dissatisfied with the response they have received to questions raised in a city audit of the Oread operation. An attorney for Oread Wholesale responded by calling the city’s process “flawed and improper” and maintained that Oread Inn and Oread Wholesale have “acted with integrity.” An attorney for Oread Inn chastised the city for being unwilling to pursue “discussions” to resolve the situation “and instead wishes to pursue an aggressive agenda that will most likely result in litigation between the parties.” It’s unclear what kind of “discussions” the attorney was referring to, but the city had spent several weeks trying to obtain information and resolve this matter. Given the city’s history with Thomas Fritzel, who heads Oread Inn, Oread Wholesale and other entities in the Oread district, it’s understandable that officials would be hesitant to try to pursue this situation in an informal manner. The kind of trust it would take to resolve this issue with a handshake simply doesn’t exist between Fritzel and the city. The legal battlelines on this issue have been drawn. That doesn’t mean this case necessarily will end up in court, but it may set the parameters for productive discussions to resolve this matter without pursuing litigation. If it is confirmed that the developers have sought and received unwarranted or illegal payments, they should be required to repay that overage plus an added sum in recognition of their wrongdoing. It’s unfortunate this situation has arisen, but, as Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard said in a letter outlining the default declaration, the city has the right “to take those actions necessary to ensure that the terms, provisions and intent of the redevelopment agreement are carried out.” If that means the city needs to get a little “aggressive” in its pursuit of this case, so be it.

Washington — Bernie Sanders, greedy for power to punish people he considers greedy, has occasioned 2016’s best joke (reported in Bloomberg Businessweek): “In the Bernie Sanders drinking game, every time he mentions a free government program, you drink someone else’s beer.” But neither Sanders’ nor Hillary Clinton’s hostility to the First Amendment is amusing. Both have voted to do something never done before — make the Bill of Rights less protective. They favor amending the First Amendment to permit government regulation of political campaign speech. Hence they embrace progressivism’s logic, as it has been explained separately, and disapprovingly, by two eminent economists, Ronald Coase and Aaron Director: There is no reason the regulatory, redistributive state should distinguish between various markets. So, government that is competent and duty-bound to regulate markets for goods and services to promote social justice is competent and duty-bound to regulate the marketplace of ideas for the same purpose. Sanders and Clinton detest the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, which they say their court nominees will promise to reverse. It held that unions and corporations — especially incorporated advocacy groups, from the National Rifle Association to the Sierra Club — can engage in unregulated spending on political advocacy that is not coordinated with candidates or campaigns.

“

The decision simply recognized that Americans do not forfeit their First Amendment rights when they come together in incorporated entities to magnify their voices by speaking collectively.” The decision simply recognized that Americans do not forfeit their First Amendment rights when they come together in incorporated entities to magnify their voices by speaking collectively. Opposition to Citizens United is frequently distilled into the slogan that “corporations are not people,” to which Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., adds this example of progressive insight: “People have hearts. They have kids. They get jobs. They get sick. They cry. They dance. They live. They love. And they die.” And a few teach at Harvard Law School, as Warren was able to do only because Harvard did not die: It is descended from the first corporation chartered in colonial America. Surely she learned in law

school something she can relearn by reading “Are Corporations People?” in National Affairs quarterly by Carson Holloway of the University of Nebraska, Omaha. The concept of corporate personhood, he says, is not an invention of today’s conservatives. It derives from English common law and is “deeply rooted in our legal and constitutional tradition.” William Blackstone, the English jurist who richly influenced America’s Founders, said corporations are “artificial persons” created to encourage socially useful cooperation among individuals and are accorded certain rights so that they can hold property and have lives, identities and missions that span multiple generations. Early in America’s history, many forprofit corporations were less important than the nonprofit educational and religious corporations that still produce America’s robust civil society of freely cooperating citizens. If corporations had no rights of personhood, they would have no constitutional protections against, for example, the arbitrary search and seizure by government of their property without just compensation. And there would be no principled reason for denying the right of free speech (the First Amendment does not use the word “person” in guaranteeing it) to forprofit (e.g., The New York Times) or nonprofit (e.g., the NAACP) corporations. In his attack on the Bill of Rights, Sanders voted to exempt for-profit media corporations from government reg-

ulation of corporate speech. Why? Because such corporations, alone among for-profit and nonprofit corporations, are uniquely altruistic and disinterested? Please. In 2007, in a Cato Institute lecture, Judge Janice Rogers Brown of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit warned us: People who are eager to weaken protection of private property in order to enable government to redistribute wealth will also want to weaken constitutional protections of free speech in order to empower government to redistribute ideas. Since then, college campuses have been responsive to people eager to regulate what others say, hear and see. Now, in the name of campaign finance reform, progressives like Sanders and Clinton want to expand government’s regulatory reach to political speech. Both are ardent for equality and, as Brown foresaw, the argument for economic equality easily becomes an argument for equalizing political influence. The argument is: Government regulates or seizes property in the name of equity, so why not also, for the same reason, regulate the quantity, content and timing of speech intended to “influence elections”? Progressives, with their collectivist itch, are ever eager to break private institutions to the saddle of the state, and to fill private spaces with regulations. Do they consider government uniquely altruistic and disinterested? Please. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Pro-choice not the same as pro-abortion “Are you anti-abortion?” That question, from a colleague, caught me by surprise. After all, she knows I’ve written a number of pro-choice columns. “I know you’re prochoice,” she added, reading my mind. “But I was wondering if you’re anti-abortion.” I knew where this was coming from. She had just finished reading the first draft of my next novel, a World War II epic in which a character wrestles with whether to abort the child of a man who brutally raped her. I reminded my colleague not to confuse the character’s opinion with mine. One reason you write fiction is to put yourself into the minds of people who are not like you. Still, her question intrigued me because it suggested a seldom-heard perspective, a third way, if you will, in the eternal battle between pro-choice and prolife. We are taught that there are those two ways only. Indeed, where abortion is concerned, that’s the fundament of every policy debate and political speech. But it seems ever clearer to me that it’s a false dichotomy, a narrative of hard, diametrical opposi-

tion that, while it makes for great headlines, fails to acknowledge the mushy middle ground where many, if not most of us, reside. “Are you anti-abortion?” As I was fumbling with my answer, my colleague reminded me that she, too, is pro-choice. But in the same breath, she noted that one of her kids is expecting and even when the baby was only a zygote, her feeling was, “That’s still my grandchild.” In other words, she already loves it. That resonated with me.

How many baby bumps — wife, daughter, daughterin-law — have I put my ear to or touched in awe, wondering who this new person will turn out to be and what things she will bring into life? Baby love is not exclusive to pro-life people. Nor, for that matter, is being “prolife.” The most ardent proponent of abortion rights favors life, after all, if only because he or she has one. So the very language of the debate creates false distance. The iconography does, too. In recent years, abortion foes have taken to brandishing gruesome placards of dismembered fetuses to make their point. Those things never come close to persuading me. They never leave me feeling anything but angry and assaulted. The most effective antiabortion placard I ever saw took a different approach, a tacit appeal to shared humanity and common conscience. It said simply: “Abortion stops a beating heart.” Boom. There you go. No need of weighty, philosophic discussions about the soul or when life begins. I wanted to reject that sign the way you reflexively reject

anything that doesn’t agree with you, but I never could. Decades later, it is still with me. I think maybe that’s because even on so heated an issue as this, it conceded — indeed, banked upon — my humanity. There’s a lesson in that. I am pro-choice because I think a woman should have the ultimate say over her own body, period. I am prochoice because I don’t want to see pregnant women drinking whiskey laced with gunpowder or sticking knitting needles in their uteruses. I am pro-choice because I abhor the idea of some harried mother who can’t feed or clothe the children she has being sent to prison (death row?) for ending a pregnancy. But my colleague’s question reminded me that, for all we pretend otherwise, this issue is not and never has been stark or either/or. And that the diametrical opposition we hear so much about rises from headlines and political speeches, but not so much from life. “Are you anti-abortion?” my colleague asked. My realization and my words were simultaneous. “Yes,” I said, “I guess I am.” — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald

Tobacco CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“The justification for Tobacco 21 as a strategy is access to tobacco products is essentially the peers,” Bryan said. “You think about how they get access to the product when they’re that age, it’s because of their friends.” But the director of the Petroleum Marketers & Convenience Store Association of Kansas, which advocates for the state’s petroleum marketing industry, said the effort — and identical ordinances recently passed in other Kansas cities — is an example of government overreach and wouldn’t be effective in preventing young people from getting tobacco. More than 100 municipalities, plus the state of Hawaii, have adopted laws requiring people to be 21 to purchase tobacco. In November, Kansas City, Kan., became the first city in Kansas to adopt such a law, and Wyandotte County soon followed as the first county. Olathe adopted the ordinance at the beginning of February, and Iola passed the law Tuesday. The Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce helped launch the tobacco 21 initiative in Kansas City in October. The chamber has said that after the ordinance passed in Kansas City, it hoped other local cities would follow suit. Now, the group is in preliminary talks with LiveWell Lawrence about the issue. Bryan said The Kansas City chamber reached out to LiveWell Lawrence last week to arrange a meeting about proposing the law in Lawrence. “A lot of things happen in the KC area, and we’re not always in their target, so I was a little surprised,” Bryan said. “But I think a lot of people in Kansas look to Lawrence for leadership. They’re probably kind of wondering what’s going on, why aren’t we already doing this.” Bryan is unsure when a proposal would be ready to go before the City Commission, but the TobaccoFree Living group is working on a yearlong plan. The process will likely include seeking written endorsements from local organizations and businesses. One of the topics of discussion with the Kansas City chamber will be whether to pursue the change at the county level or city-by-city. When Eudora passed an ordinance banning tobacco from city parks in January, there was brief discussion of raising the tobacco age. LiveWell is planning to reach out to the city to see whether there is interest. The pace of the process will depend on the community’s response, Bryan said.

LAWRENCE

“I think it will really depend on how the people in this community respond to the idea,” he said. “If we’re getting a lot of endorsements, then I imagine it would happen sooner.” Tom Palace, director of Petroleum Marketers & Convenience Store Association, has kept tabs over the past few months on Kansas cities adopting the ordinance. Palace, who works in Topeka and generally advocates at the state level, said he doesn’t agree with the local ordinances but can’t “jump in a car and go from city to city.” With only three Kansas cities having passed the law and the Legislature already in session, Palace isn’t planning on pushing any measures this year to supersede the local ordinances. “At this late date here in the Legislature, it would be very difficult,” Palace said. “Having said that, it’s not widespread, so not a lot of people in the state are worried about it. That’s the biggest issue when you get local ordinances like this: if you’re in Salina or somewhere, you say, ‘It’s not impacting me, it’s not a big deal.’” Palace said the action would cause a cut in sales for convenience stores — tobacco accounts for about 25 percent of Kansas stores’ indoor sales — and the local changes in the tobacco-purchasing age would be difficult for a chain of stores to enforce. More so than the imposition to convenience stores, Palace said, the ordinances are a government overstep. “Everyone can make their own assertion whether smoking is the right thing to do or not the right thing to do, and the government doesn’t need to be involved in determining who can make decisions on their own,” Palace said. “Now it’s a 21-year-old and not an 18-year-old. I think the government is stepping too far trying to protect people from themselves.” Palace also said those under 21 would still get tobacco, likely by going elsewhere to find it. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which Bryan said has been monitoring the effectiveness of the increase in tobacco-purchasing age, included the strategy on a recent list of methods shown to reduce and prevent youth tobacco use. Though cigarette use among youth in the U.S. has declined in recent years, the use of other tobacco products, such as hookahs and electronic cigarettes, has increased, according to the CDC. A new ordinance would apply to all those tobacco products, Bryan said, as well as smokeless tobacco.

Budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“And I think it’s meant specifically to get the public thinking that there’s all this extra, wasted money when in fact there isn’t.” For the district’s operating budget, which excludes funds spent on facility improvements and debt payments, the percentage spent on instruction is about 63 percent. When looking at all the district’s expenses, the district is projected to spend 53 percent of its $151.3 million in total expenditures on instruction for the 2015-2016 school year, according to Kansas State Department of Education reports. Board members and district officials have said that the instruction category is misleading because it does not include funds that directly support students’ learning. Most notably, the category doesn’t count student support services, which include social workers and counselors, or instructional support services, which include curriculum development and librarians. Together, funds for student and instructional support services make up about 10 percent of the district’s total budgeted expenditures for this school year, and about 12 percent of its operational budget. Sanburn said she thinks that the way the district uses counselors, social workers and library media specialists is an integral part of instruction, and some of those funds should count toward instructional or “classroom” spending. “Those professionals do provide direct instruction within classrooms and help support student outcomes, and so some arbitrary mechanism that defines those staff members as being outside of the classroom doesn’t make a lot of sense to me,” she said. On Thursday, the Kansas Supreme Court struck down the block grant school funding law currently in place as unconstitutional, citing that it does not equitably fund school districts. The court ordered legislators to come up with a new formula before next school year. While it is unclear what kind of funding formula lawmakers will create, Sanburn said she thinks using allocations for categories such as instruction isn’t the right approach. “Using those budget categories and then backing into a budget based on certain percentages is not a smart way to plan for services,” she said. “It’s better to determine what the needs are and then hire staff and staff buildings based upon those needs.” The rest of the district’s budget is pretty evenly — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can spread over the remaining be reached at 832-7144 or seven categories, but one nwentling@ljworld.com. of the next highest percent-

“

Those professionals do provide direct instruction within classrooms and help support student outcomes, and so some arbitrary mechanism that defines those staff members as being outside of the classroom doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.” — Vanessa Sanburn, Lawrence school board president ages belongs to a category that has also faced some sharp criticism from lawmakers: administration and support. A large part of that category is made up of some of the highest salaries in the district — such as the superintendent, district administrators and school principals — and amounts to about 8 percent of total expenditures and 9 percent of the operating budget. Board members have said they plan to offer the incoming superintendent $205,000 to $215,000 per year, and the average salary of the district’s approximately 50 administrators is $98,000 per year. The district’s approximately 1,000 teachers and other licensed staff make an average salary of about $54,000 per year. Sanburn said that while that difference is significant, the demands of administrative jobs — including recent uncer-

tainty caused by cuts and changes to school funding — require competitive salaries. “Principals and other administrators make more money than teachers or other professionals in the building, but it’s also a pretty tough job that not everyone wants to do,” Sanburn said. “So I think one of the benefits to that position is that it comes with a higher salary.” Over the past few years, the portions of the Lawrence school district’s budget spent on instruction and administrative costs have stayed relatively constant. Despite the idea of a budget based on category allotments, district finance officials said until a new formula is enacted, the percentages won’t weigh heavily on budget decisions. “We plan for what we know…” said Kyle Hayden, assistant superintendent of business and operations for the district. “This has been kind of the cycle for a number

of years. Every year at this time of year they’re messing with the formula, they are talking about allotments or cuts.” The district has begun planning for next school year’s budget, and board members looked at some of the category breakdowns at their most recent school board meeting. Kathy Johnson, director of finance for the district, said that while the district will make its budget plans under the block grants, plans will include specific adjustments the district could make when a new formula is put in place. “There are so many unknowns at this point that basically we function under Senate Bill 7 — the way it is in the block grant — until something else surfaces,” Johnson said. “That is all we know and that is what’s in place, and that’s basically the only way we really can plan, knowing that something will be coming down and we have to be able to possibly zig or zag when that happens.” The Kansas Supreme Court has given the Legislature until June 30 to come up with a new funding formula. The school district approves its budget annually after a public hearing in August. — K-12 education reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at 832-6314 or rvalverde@ljworld.com.

Cranberry Capsules Reduce Risk of Urinary Tract Infections People living in long-term care facilities are at risk of developing urinary tract infections (UTIs). In fact, about a quarter of all bacterial infections diagnosed at such facilities are UTIs. The infection can be bad enough by itself, but it can also lead to serious complications, such as dehydration, delirium, and even death. However, taking cranberry capsules daily can significantly reduce the risk of UTIs, according to a study by Dutch researchers. Monique A.A. Caljouw, MSc, and her colleagues at the Leiden University Medical Center, provided either cranberry capsules or placebos to 928 people at long-term care facilities. The majority of the subjects were elderly women. People were instructed to take two capsules daily. Each cranberry capsule contains 500 mg of cranberry, yielding 1.8 percent (9 mg) of proanthocyanidins. People who were at high risk of developing UTIs had a 26 percent reduction in risk by the end of the study. Meanwhile, people who were at a low risk of UTIs experienced no benefits from the cranberry capsules. Reference: Caljouw MA, van den Hout W, Putter H, et al.

Vitamin D Has Beneﬁts in Heart Failure Abnormalities in the body’s regulation of aldosterone, a hormone, can contribute to heart failure. By lowering the activity of aldosterone and related activities, it is possible to reduce salt and water retention and the thickening of the heart’s walls. In a study conducted at the University of Colorado Medical Center and other centers, doctors asked 64 people to take either 50,000 IU of vitamin D or placebos each week for six months—aldosterone levels decreased in the vitamin D group. The researchers concluded that “vitamin D may be an important adjunct to standard heart failure therapy.” Boxer RS. Journal of Cardiac Failure, 2014: doi 10.1016/j.cardfail.2014.01.019.

JUSTICE SCALIA FOUND DEAD BENCH’S CONSERVATIVE LEADER, 79, WAS AT TEXAS HUNTING RANCH Susan Page and Richard Wolf USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, the outspoken leader of the Supreme Court’s conservative bloc, was found dead at a Texas ranch Saturday morning. “I am saddened to report that our colleague Justice Antonin Scalia has passed away,” Chief Justice John Roberts said in a statement Saturday afternoon. “He was an extraordinary individual and jurist, admired and treasured by his colleagues. His passing is a great loss to the court and the country he so loyally served.” White House spokesman Eric Schultz said President Obama had been informed of Scalia’s death and extended “deepest condolences” to his family. The flag outside the Supreme Court was lowered to half mast. The death was first reported on the website of the San Antonio Express News, which quoted an unnamed federal official saying the justice apparently died of natural causes. Scalia, 79, had spent Friday quail hunting at Cibolo Creek Ranch, then went to bed. When he didn’t appear for break-

Over nearly three decades on the high court, Scalia’s sharp intellect and acerbic opinions made him a hero to conservatives and a target for liberals. Yet he also was a close friend to a leader of the court’s liberal wing, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a 2016 Republican presidential hopeful and himself a former clerk on the Supreme Court, posted a statement on Facebook mourning the death of “one of the greatest justices in history.” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called the justice “the solid rock who turned away so many attempts to depart from and distort the Constitution.” Obama could nominate a candidate to fill the vacancy, but winning confirmation by the Republican-controlled Senate in an election year would be difficult, if not impossible.

Scalia’s death leaps to top of GOP debate’s agenda Candidates agree that next president should choose his successor David Jackson and Paul Singer USA TODAY

While Republican candidates agreed that President Obama should not replace Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, they fought viciously over immigration, national security and other issues during a debate Saturday that frequently collapsed into a shouting match. Donald Trump said he expects

Obama to nominate a replacement for the justice who died Saturday, and said it is up to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republicans in the Senate to block it. “It’s called delay, delay, delay,” Trump said. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who finished second in the New Hampshire primary last week, said that in the wake of Scalia’s death “I wish we don’t have to run so fast into politics.” He suggested Obama should not nominate anyone, and the rest of the candidates agreed it should be up to the next president to choose Scalia’s replacement.

How teachers keep damaged careers afloat v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Alexander Stormer was teaching in Charlotte and had obtained teaching licenses in North and South Carolina after losing his credentials in Georgia because of a physical altercation with a student that ended with his arrest.

lines. They’re far from alone. An investigation by the USA TODAY NETWORK found fundamental defects in the teacher screening systems used to ensure safety of children in the nation’s 13,000-plus school districts. The patchwork system of laws and regulations — combined with inconsistent execution and flawed sharing of information between states and school districts — fails to keep teachers with histories of serious misconduct out of classrooms and away from schoolchildren. At least three states have begun internal investigations and audits based on questions raised during the course of this investigation. Over the course of a year, the USA TODAY NETWORK gathered the databases of certified teachers and disciplined teachers using the open records laws of each of the 50 states. Additionally, journalists used state open records laws to obtain a private nationwide discipline database that many states use to background teachers. The computerized analysis of the combined millions of records revealed: uStates fail to report the names of thousands of disciplined teachers to the private database that is the nation’s only centralized system for tracking teacher discipline, many of which were acknowledged by several states’ education officials and the database’s non-profit operator. Without entries in the database, troubled and dangerous teachers can move to new states — and get back in classrooms — undetected. uThe names of at least 9,000 educators disciplined by state officials are missing from a clearinghouse operated by the non-profit National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification. At least 1,400 of those teachers’ licenses had been permanently revoked, including at least 200 revocations prompted by allegations of sexual or physical abuse. uState systems to check backgrounds of teachers are rife with inconsistencies, leading to dozens of cases in which state education officials found out about a person’s criminal conviction only after a teacher was hired by a district and already in the classroom. Eleven states don’t comprehensively check teachers’ work and criminal backgrounds before issuing licenses, leaving that work to local districts — where critics say checks can be done poorly or skipped. Problematic teachers amount to a minuscule proportion of the millions of educators nationwide. There are more than 3 million teachers nationwide, and fewer than 1% have ever faced a disciplinary action.

‘WE DROPPED THE BALL’

I’M A PARENT. HOW DO I CHECK OUT MY TEACHER? ONLINE AT USA TODAY .COM There is no national system for parents to look up teacher disciplinary actions or credentials. Some states have sites, but they’re often incomplete. Check usatoday.com for links for each state that has an online tool to check educators’ backgrounds and how to contact each state that does not.

Despite years of efforts by child safety advocates and some U.S. lawmakers, the federal government does not play a role in mandating teacher background checks or making sure information about even severe abuse cases is shared between states. Other countries, such as the United Kingdom, have a central government system to track disciplined teachers across jurisdictions. In Texas, the analysis found hundreds of educators who faced serious discipline but whose names never ended up in NASDTEC’s Clearinghouse. As a result, the teachers could conceal their past misconduct if they tried to get a teaching license and a job in another state. Texas Education Agency spokeswoman Debbie Ratcliffe blamed staff turnover for several missing names and said some would be submitted. “We dropped the ball by not doing so,” Ratcliffe said. Officials in several more states also said they would fix some disciplinary actions that the analysis revealed were missing from the NASDTEC Clearinghouse. Georgia’s teacher credentialing agency added a layer of oversight to its reporting process, and officials in Iowa also promised a complete audit of their system. NASDTEC Executive Director

SESCONDUC MI

The names of more than 1,400 teachers whose licenses were revoked are missing from a privately run database of teacher disciplinary actions.

200 of those involved allegations of sexual misconduct.

Reporters across the country identified teachers who lost teaching licenses for misconduct in one state but who were able to move to another state, get a teaching license and get a job at a school without being detected.

At least two teachers with documented histories of misconduct who were working in schools in Louisiana and North Carolina are no longer in the classroom after inquiries from USA TODAY NETWORK reporters to their employers as part of this investigation.

Phillip Rogers said he believes the privately run system works to prevent many troubled teachers every year from reaching classrooms, but he concedes the database is only as good as the data submitted by state agencies. The analysis found the national database is not only incomplete but rife with misspellings and other inaccuracies that undermine its usefulness. “It’s imperfect,” he said, “but it’s very close to being right most of the time.” To others, an imperfect system is not good enough. “When parents put their kids on the school bus in the morning, they have every right to expect that their kids are going to the safest possible environment,” said U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., who has pushed for change. “We’re not doing our job if we could make that environment safer.”

FLYING BELOW THE RADAR

Flaws in the nation’s fractured systems for checking teachers’ backgrounds are apparent in the stories of educators like Alexander Stormer. In March 2015, Stormer resigned from Atlanta Public Schools after a string of misconduct allegations, according to separate accounts in state education department and police records. Stormer allegedly injured a student’s arm dragging him into a hallway and pushed a girl into a wall, an incident captured by surveillance camera. The state education department and Atlanta police also reported that Stormer sent improper text messages, including naked photos, to another female student. In one text message exchange, records say, Stormer asked the girl for sex. Despite the problems in Georgia, Stormer got teaching licenses in South Carolina and North Carolina. South Carolina later was alerted to his discipline in Georgia by an update to the NASDTEC Clearinghouse, and the state revoked his South Carolina license. In North Carolina, however, Stormer’s past went undetected. He taught at Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology in Charlotte until last month, when he was suspended without pay after a reporter for the Asheville Citizen-Times (part of the USA TODAY NETWORK) questioned why he had a North Carolina license and a teaching job after his license was revoked in two neighboring states. “It would be our hope that your story might inspire a national teacher license clearinghouse that would list license revocations from any and all states, so that districts would only need to enter a name and any revocation from any state would pop up,” Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district spokeswoman Renee McCoy wrote in an email. Efforts to reach Stormer by phone, email and at a home he owns were unsuccessful.

RESUSCITATING CAREERS

There are plenty more examples across the country of teachers keeping damaged careers afloat by migrating to new states. In April 2006, the Florida Department of Education notified Lainie Wolfe it sought to discipline her for a range of accusations including allegedly failing to follow school board policies after receiving a student’s suicide note; making false charges against her principal; and forging the signature of a parent on a student consent form. When Colorado officials found

out years later about the Florida suspension, Wolfe signed a settlement deal in 2011 that is the equivalent to the permanent revocation of her Colorado license. But Wolfe wasn’t finished teaching. She returned to Florida and was hired by Miami-Dade Public Schools. In 2012, according to Florida records, she “slapped (a) developmentally delayed 6-yearold student” in the face and was fired. Her license is now permanently revoked in Florida and Colorado. In an interview with USA TODAY, Wolfe said that she received glowing recommendations in both states for counseling and teaching and that she disputes many of the accusations against her. Though she denies slapping a student at the Miami school, Wolfe admitted she erred in failing to disclose the pending Florida disciplinary action when she applied for a Colorado license. “I made a mistake,” she said. “I should have disclosed.” Sometimes, troubled teachers who relocate find their pasts impossible to escape forever. After Dallas-area middleschool math teacher Stanley Kendall appeared on NBC’s To Catch a Predator allegedly trying to solicit sex from a child, he lost his Texas teaching license. On camera, Kendall talks at length with the host, apologizing for chatting online about planned sex acts with someone he believed was a young boy and had arranged to come meet in person. “I am truly sorry,” he says on the show, stressing he never hurt a student. Police arrested him, but prosecutors chose not to pursue criminal charges against Kendall or anyone else from that episode’s sting. The Texas Education Agency permanently revoked Kendall’s license the following year for “sexual misconduct,” state records show. However, the televised incident didn’t stop him from teaching again. Kendall was hired as a substitute teacher by several Indiana school districts, where he worked unnoticed until someone saw a rerun of the TV show, recognized him and notified schools. A complaint was filed against his Indiana license, and state officials investigated. In November 2014, Kendall and the state signed a voluntary license revocation, according to Indiana records. “TEA pulled my license when they really didn’t have grounds to, but they did, and I let it happen because I didn’t have money to fight it,” Kendall said in an interview last week. “Teachers don’t make a lot of money in Texas.” Rogers, of the clearinghouse operator NASDTEC, said no one attempted to quantify how many names are missing from the database. But, he said, there are countless incidents where the system has done its job. “What we don’t know is how many people it has stopped. Because obviously it’s a significant number,” he said.

INCONSISTENT STATE TO STATE

Background checks and the sharing of misconduct information are inconsistent state to state. In 11 states, background checks are primarily the responsibility of school districts or schools — not the state agency issuing teaching licenses. New Mexico, Nebraska and Indiana said their teacher-licensing agencies do not check all applicants against the NASDTEC

Clearinghouse for past disciplinary action. North Carolina has no requirement that people applying for teaching credentials undergo criminal background checks, leaving it to the discretion of school districts. Vanessa Jeter, spokeswoman for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, said that although the state doesn’t conduct the checks, “local boards of education are required to have a local policy that addresses criminal background checks for potential and current employees.” In 2010, the Government Accountability Office, Congress’ watchdog agency, reviewed 15 cases in which a school hired an employee with a history of sexual misconduct. The GAO found at least six of those educators used a teaching position to target more children. In a second report in 2014, the GAO found child abuse by school personnel is not systematically tracked by any federal agency, and the systems used to check backgrounds of educators “varied widely” between states. In November 2015, an Arizona Department of Education report found about 22% of 704 educators disciplined by the state since 1996 were not in NASDTEC’s Clearinghouse. “The bottom line is the system that has been created is flawed,” Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas told the state Board of Education in December. “And until we fix that root problem, we can never assure that we will be able to follow up on these things with 100% accuracy.” A bill introduced by then-congressman Adam Putnam, R-Fla., would have required the U.S. Department of Education to develop a database of teachers found to have engaged in sexual misconduct and make it public. The measure would have put the USA closer in line with nations such as the United Kingdom, where the government maintains a national database of teachers barred from working with children. “Our classrooms deserve much more than a piecemeal effort that leaves our nation’s schools exposed to predators moving from state to state,” Putnam told Congress in 2009. The bill never got a hearing. Nevertheless, advocacy and education policy groups continued to push for a more reliable way to share teacher misconduct information. “It’s really about protecting kids,” said Sandi Jacobs, senior vice president for state and district policy for the National Council on Teacher Quality. “It seems we could come up with a clear, consistent set of terms and rules so that information is easily shared across states.”

ON POLITICS Cooper Allen

@coopallen USA TODAY

New Hampshire delivered big wins to Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders last week, as the Democratic race heads west to Nevada, while Republicans descend on South Carolina for contests on Feb. 20. More news from the world of politics: BERNIE SANDERS IS NO FAN OF HENRY KISSINGER’S At Thursday’s Democratic debate in Milwaukee, Sanders sounded off on a former secretary of State’s “destructive” diplomatic record. And not Hillary Clinton’s. The Vermont senator took aim at Henry Kissinger, the foreign policy hand for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford who served from 1973 to 1977. Sanders took issue with positive words Clinton touted from Kissinger about her tenure at the State Department, then went after Kissinger himself. “I happen to believe that Henry Kissinger was one of the most destructive secretaries of State in the modern history of this country,” Sanders said, adding that he was “proud to say that Henry Kissinger is not my friend.” Clinton countered that Sanders hasn’t been transparent about whom he does rely on for foreign policy advice. “Well, it ain’t Henry Kissinger, that’s for sure,” Sanders shot back.

SCALIA MAIN CONSERVATIVE VOICE WITH STRONG DISSENTS anachronism.” Never one to compromise his principles, Scalia spent most of his career on the court watching helplessly as its moderate members — Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and, later, Anthony Kennedy — cut the deals that led to majority opinions on issues such as abortion and gay rights. His objections, he said recently, were not based on policy views but on “who decides” — and his answer almost invariably was the Constitution, the Congress or the president, not unelected judges with lifetime appointments like himself.

utes to mean what their authors intended, and nothing more. Yet he leaves with more disappointments than achievements and a legacy written in acerbic dissents. The first Italian-American to serve on the court when he was named by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, “Nino” Scalia established himself as a firm opponent of abortion, gay rights and racial preferences. He was the lone dissenter when the court opened the Virginia Military Institute to women and consistently opposed affirmative action policies at universities and workplaces. On the winning side of the ledger, Scalia was best known for authoring the court’s 2008 ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller upholding the right of citizens to keep guns at home for self-defense. The 5-4 decision, he said, was “the most complete originalist opinion that I’ve ever written.” But Scalia’s sharp-elbows brand of conservatism more often showed up in testily worded dissents and even what The New York Times labeled “furious concurrences,” in which he agreed with the end result but ranted about the reasoning. “Dissents are where you can really say what you believe and say it with the force you think it deserves,” he said. And if they prove correct years later, he went on, it “makes you feel good.” That was the case in Morrison v. Olson, in which the court upheld Congress’ establishment of

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s sometimes petulant personality would be used to berate unprepared litigators. an independent counsel within the executive branch but beyond the president’s control. In time, many conservatives and liberals came to distrust the power given to independent counsels, including Kenneth Starr, whose fouryear investigation of President Clinton culminated in his impeachment. Congress let the law expire in 1999. NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER

Scalia opposed the president and favored Congress in the more recent test of Obama’s recess ap-

pointments power. While agreeing with the court’s majority that Obama exceeded his authority by going around the Senate to name members to the National Labor Relations Board, Scalia argued that such power should be limited far more than the court allowed. “The majority practically bends over backward to ensure that recess appointments will remain a powerful weapon in the president’s arsenal,” he wrote. “That is unfortunate, because the recess appointment power is an

Despite his sometimes petulant personality, Scalia was popular with his colleagues. He maintained close friendships with liberals such as Elena Kagan and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, with whom he bonded in the 1980s when they served together on a federal appeals court. Ginsburg recently recalled listening to Scalia deliver a speech to the American Bar Association. She disagreed with the thesis, she said, but “thought he said it in an absolutely captivating way.” Kagan, whom Scalia taught to hunt for ducks, deer and other game, called him “funny and charming and super-intelligent and witty.” “If you can’t disagree on the law without taking it personally,” Scalia was fond of saying, “find another day job.”

Sanders jabs home his point.

BATTLE ON TWITTER It was a tough week for Marco Rubio since his widely panned debate performance three days ahead of the New Hampshire primary when he was pummeled by Chris Christie for repeating the same line about President Obama. The Florida senator went on to a fifth-place finish in Tuesday’s GOP voting. Clinton, or at least her social media team, decided to twist the knife at Rubio’s expense Thursday, parroting in a tweet the line Rubio used repeatedly at the debate in a Twitter burn that simultaneously jabbed at Sanders: “Let’s dispel with this fiction that @POTUS doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing.” The accompanying article Clinton shared was about Sanders critiquing Obama’s leadership. Rubio fired back, tweeting “@HillaryClinton knew exactly what she was doing and the FBI would like to know too,” along with an article about an FBI investigation of Clinton’s private email server.

THREE MORE CANDIDATES LEAVE GOP FIELD The New Hampshire primary boosted some candidates and ended hopes of others. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was one casualty of the Granite State, suspending his bid the day after a sixth-place finish. Former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore, the longest long shot, ended his campaign on Friday. Carly Fiorina also dropped out after seventh-place finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire. The former Hewlett-Packard CEO doesn’t plan to spend too much time dwelling on what could have been. The Los Angeles Times reported that a speakers firm representing Fiorina blasted out an email just hours after her White House hopes ended on Wednesday, advertising that she was “now available for speaking engagements around the world.” Contributing: Josh Hafner

Republicans almost certain to block any Obama nominee Richard Wolf USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Justice Antonin Scalia’s sudden death will trigger a protracted battle over his replacement, one that may not end until 2017 after a new president is sworn in. The Supreme Court is down to eight members and must move forward with a heavy caseload with that number. As such, the court is effectively deadlocked, with four liberals and four conservatives — although Justice Anthony Kennedy often sides with the left. That raises the stakes for the nation’s conservatives — in Congress and prominent legal circles — to derail any nominee President Obama puts forward. Within minutes on Saturday, Republican lawmakers and conservative legal experts were demanding that the seat remain empty until the next president is elected. Once a period of mourning is completed for one of the country’s legal and judicial icons, however, the White House is sure to devote its attention to a key question: Is there a left-of-center nominee who could win confirmation in the Republican-controlled Senate? One name heads that list: federal appeals court Judge Sri Srinivasan, whom Obama put on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. That’s the traditional stepping-stone to the Supreme Court, and Srinivasan won unanimous confirmation with high praise from Republicans. Other potential nominees in-

Obama is fond of California Supreme Court Justice Goodwin Liu, but he likely would have a tough time getting confirmed. The most likely scenario at the moment would appear to be something familiar to everyone familiar with Washington: gridlock. “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice,” Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said. “Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” That same sentiment came from many Republican leaders, all of whom said it would be wrong for a liberal Democratic

president to get to replace a conservative nominee of President Reagan during his final year in office. The flip side is: Without a replacement, the court will limp along with eight justices, risking deadlocks on important issues such as abortion (which comes up for oral argument next month) and immigration (which will follow in April), not to mention cases already heard on affirmative action, voting rights and public employee unions. That raises the possibility of frequent ties on cases that would have gone conservatives’ way, 5-4, with Scalia on the bench. In those cases, the court’s ruling will uphold that of the lower court, but without nationwide precedent. In the past, it has been difficult for the party opposing the president to block every nominee; at least some moderates in both

parties believe it is the president’s right to pick the person of his choice. So some Republicans might be inclined to vote for an Obama nominee, particularly if it’s someone with bipartisan credentials. Srinivasan could be that person. Confirmed to the D.C. Circuit unanimously in 2013, the 48year-old Indian-American jurist has worked in both Democratic and Republican administrations, most recently as chief deputy to the U.S. solicitor general, arguing cases before the Supreme Court. It has been difficult but not impossible for nominees from both parties to win confirmation. Obama’s choices, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, got 31 and 37 “no” votes, respectively. President George W. Bush’s picks, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, received 22 and 42.

Rape charges shadow U.N. peacekeepers Allegations surface in Africa of killings, sex attacks of girls, women by those they trust Audrey Bayo and Tonny Onyulo Special for USA TODAY

BANGUI , CENTRAL AFRICAN RE PUBLIC Sitting under a mango

tree on the outskirts of this capital city, Abdou Mbone, 58, says U.N. peacekeeping troops raped his wife, Halima, before leaving her body in the street a year ago. Mbone’s wife had gone to buy food for dinner before realizing that Christian militias were in the neighborhood fighting Islamist rebels. She hurried to a nearby market to find the peacekeepers who often stood guard there. “She tried to seek help from soldiers so that she could be escorted to our house,” the father of three said, nearly collapsing from grief. “They instead raped her.” Mbone’s allegations can’t be independently confirmed, but he said other residents “will tell you stories how their wives and children were either killed or raped by the same soldiers.” Fresh details of rape and other sexual abuses by peacekeeping forces here continue to surface a year later, amid complaints that not enough has been done to uncover and stop such actions. Human Rights Watch released a report Feb. 4 alleging that United Nations peacekeepers had raped at least eight girls and women last year, including a 14-

year-old girl, in Bambari, a town about 230 miles northeast of here. “The men were dressed in their military uniforms and had their guns,” the 14-year-old said, according to the Human Rights Watch report. “I walked by and suddenly one of them grabbed me by my arms and the other one ripped off my clothes. They pulled me into the tall grass and one held my arms while the other one pinned down my legs and raped me.” The United Nations said it is investigating the claims and has confined soldiers from the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo alleged to have participated in the assaults to their barracks until they are sent home. The allegations are similar to those leveled in January by the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, saying French and European Union troops stationed here abused children, including a 7-year-old who performed sexual acts in exchange for water and cookies. Other allegations surfaced in April 2015 about child abuse here by peacekeepers dating to 2014. And an independent U.N. panel faulted local peacekeeping officers in December for failing to aggressively investigate such allegations. On Monday, U.N. Secretary-

Abdou Mbone, 58, sits under a mango tree on the outskirts of the Central Africa Republic’s capital Bangui. He recalled how his wife was raped by peacekeeping troops before she was found dead in the capital’s street the next day.

since 2014 when the United Nations sent in 10,000 troops, police and civilians to quell violence that exploded after a 2013 coup pitted Muslim rebels against Christian militias. Bangui residents were not surprised by claims of sexual abuse. Antoinette Adele, 33, sought refuge in Bangui with her two children after her husband was killed by militiamen in 2014. On the way, she encountered peacekeepers she says were from France. “They told me that it was risky

to walk alone to the city, and I should stay until morning before they escort me to the refugee camp,” she said, breaking down in tears. “I thought they were there to help me, but they wanted to rape me.” She said three soldiers told her the children had to sleep separately and took them away. “I was left with one soldier who told me to remove my clothes. He told me I risked death if I resisted. ... I removed my clothes and he raped me several times while I was crying,” she recalled. The next day, Adele and her children, plus 20 other women, were taken to a refugee camp in an army truck, she said. She remains there today. She didn’t tell authorities what happened. “There were no police to go to,” she said. “There was no government to help.” The scandal is one reason France decided this year to pull 600 of its current 900 peacekeeping troops from this country. France has deployed as many as 2,500 troops here. The French Defense Ministry said it is investigating the abuse accusations. As the investigations continue, Mbone said he still seeks justice for his wife’s assault. “I thought these soldiers were sent to protect us from the militias, but they had their own intention: to rape and kill,” he said. “They continue to repeat the same act despite the outcry.” Onyulo reported from Nairobi, Kenya.

ON ISRAELI FARMS, A BLEAK EXISTENCE FOR THAI WORKERS Rights group: Health hazards, long hours, poor pay equal abuse Matthew Vickery

Special for USA TODAY LAKISH , ISRAEL

Several agricultural workers from Thailand stand near the side of the road next to their makeshift living quarters: large containers used for sleeping covered with plastic sheeting and corrugated iron. The place is dirty, open to wintry weather and floods when it rains. The workers are there to lead a secret tour of a farm where they toil long hours. USA TODAY joined Israeli workers’ rights organization Kav LaOved as it undertook a surreptitious visit to a Moshav (farm) in Israel’s northern Negev region in response to a tip about workers’ rights abuses. “If the farmer knew we were here there could be consequences for the workers,” said Noa Shauer, Kav LaOved’s coordinator for agricultural workers. “That could be not paying them, firing them completely or getting them deported from the country.” About 3,500 farms employ 22,000 Thais, who make up 95% of agricultural workers in Israel, and farmers frequently exploit them as a cheap labor force, according to Kav LaOved. Similar allegations came out a year ago in a report by Human Rights Watch. “Thai agricultural workers in Israel face serious labor rights abuses because Israeli authorities are failing to enforce their own laws,” the report said. In Lakish, approximately 15 Thai workers are employed at this farm, mostly tending grapes. All are from rural Thailand, and they speak no Hebrew or English. They say they get less than the minimum wage of $6.40 an hour that farms are supposed to pay and get no overtime or sick pay. The workers say they average $4.60 an hour for 10-hour workdays, six days a week. Out of that, the farmer deducts money for room and board and other fees. The workers also owe money to agencies that helped get them work visas. They often live in former animal shacks, containers that used to store chemicals, and barns. “This is not how I expected life to be like here,” said Dusit Doting, 38, one of the workers. Lacking proper training and safety equipment, Doting said he fell while working, breaking his leg. He said he was unable to recover fully from the injury because his employer refused sick pay. Needing the money, Doting was back at work within three weeks.

MATTHEW VICKERY FOR USA TODAY

Thai workers at an Israeli farm gather outside of their living quarters, which has plastic sheeting for walls. “I had to go back to work quickly; I wasn’t being paid,” Doting said. The pay is not given to them in full. Instead, the farmer gives them some of it in cash at the end of the month and sends the rest to the workers’ families in Thailand. The workers don’t know whether all the money they are due is actually sent back home. By limiting the money the workers are given, the farmer effectively keeps them working on the farm. It’s a common practice in this country, ensuring workers have no money to leave, travel elsewhere or find another agricultural job in Israel, according to the workers’ rights group.

Workdays can be exhausting: Kav LaOved noted examples of 18-hour days and one farm that forced its laborers to work 29 hours straight during peak harvest time. Work-related illnesses from using chemicals without training and without proper safety equipment also can be a hazard. Sutep Sesubang, 34, holds a paper pollution mask in his hands. “This is all I have to use,” said Sesubang, who sprays pesticides on the fields with no other protective clothing. He expressed surprise that he hasn’t yet become sick. “I have a friend who got ill from the spray,” he said. “We don’t have anything to keep us safe. This mask is too simple, we

have to cover the rest of our faces with our clothes to stop getting ill. “Before I came here (two years ago), I thought the conditions and everything would be good,” he said. “The employer here is just using me. I know we are getting less than what should be the minimum by law. The farmer sees us just as workers to make him money, not as humans.” A group representing the farmers, the Moshavim Movement, did not respond to requests for comment about the complaints. Israel and Thailand signed an agreement in 2011 to protect Thai workers’ rights. The Israeli government, which also did not respond to repeated requests for comment, has two inspectors checking on workers. Shauer said Thai translators don’t accompany inspectors on their tours, so there is no communication with workers. Inspectors often speak solely to the farmer and leave without inspecting the living quarters. “The Israeli government definitely knows about this sort of thing,” Shauer said. “The enforcement, though, is ineffective.” She said farmers may be allowed to cut corners as a trade-off because the government doesn’t pay generous subsidies. The government’s subsidy, Shauer said, amounts to “looking the other way.”

Living quarters of Thai agricultural workers are often exposed to the elements and unfit for living.

TROUBLED TEACHERS

U.S. LACKS GOVERNMENT DATABASE TO TRACK MISCONDUCT

Unlike other countries, the United States does not maintain a national database listing all teachers who permanently lost their licenses for misconduct. An audit by USA TODAY Network found that more than 1,400 revoked teachers’ names are missing from a privately run database. Out of those, more than 200 involved allegations of sexual misconduct. The records at the state level and the privately run national database are inconsistent and incomplete, so there are likely hundreds, if not thousands more, that background checks would miss.

CRACKS IN

THE SYSTEM

SCHOOL SCHOOL

BACKGROUND CHECKS USA TODAY found more than a dozen states’ education agencies don’t do comprehensive background checks before they give someone a teaching license, leaving checks to local schools or districts, where experts say they can be inconsistent, poorly done or even skipped.

Best case: States would check teachers’ work history and their criminal background before issuing anyone a teaching license.

NATIONAL DATABASE USA TODAY found teachers who lost teaching licenses in one state but were not entered into the database, so they were able to move to another state and teach.

Best case: Schools would be required to report every serious disciplinary action involving a teacher into an official, national database.

TRANSPARENCY Eleven states and Washington, D.C., don’t even provide an online search for active teacher licenses, let alone disciplinary records. Most states’ disciplinary records are not online in any useful way. Best case: States would be transparent about disciplined teachers’ records, posting complete lists and documentation online, to make it easy for parents or future employers to see serious misconduct cases.

SHOULD THOSE PLANNING ON RETIRING SOON HOLD OFF?

ADVISER?

A: If you are concerned, yes, absolutely check in with your adviser. Discuss your concerns and ask your adviser to go over how the

plan addresses volatility. Besides the income flooring strategy, other strategies include keeping a cash reserve that can be tapped when the market is down, and dedicating low-risk investments to meet your upcoming income needs. We did a recent survey of advisers who have the Retirement Income Certified Professional designation from The American College and they said that they spend a lot of time talking with their clients during turbulent moments — they see it as part of their job. This is one of the main reasons you hired an adviser!

tirees who don’t have an adviser. There are some do-it-yourselfers who have educated themselves about planning and make their own investment decisions. These retirees should stay the course, although this may be a good time to re-evaluate whether the plan does a good job of addressing volatility. Then there are those who muddle along without a lot of knowledge or planning. I think that they are the most vulnerable in a significant market dip like we are having now. I would encourage them to find an adviser or at least seek out education about proper planning before making any decisions about what to do next.

WHEN DO YOU QUIT RIDING OUT THE LOSSES AND MAKE A MOVE?

A: This question seems to imply that you’ve lost hope that the market will ever come back. If you are investing for the long haul and you do not need the assets to meet current expenses, I would generally say hold on — selling ensures that you lock in the losses.

SCARED? 6 SAFE COMPANIES BEAT U.S. BONDS Matt Krantz USA TODAY

The beat-down in stocks is creating an interesting opportunity — a chance to invest in rock-solid companies that pay out more than U.S. Treasuries. There are now six stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500, including health care giant Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), software maker Microsoft (MSFT) and gadget maker Apple (AAPL) with perfect or near-perfect credit ratings that are paying dividend yields that top those of the 10-year Treasury, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. The companies must have a AAA, AA+ or AA rating from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in addition to a stable credit outlook — which limits the list to only the most rock-solid. Stock prices have been pummeled to such a degree and bond yields pushed down so much that investors can pick up the most financial surefooted companies

STABLE OUTLOOK S&P 500 companies with top credit ratings and stable outlooks: Company Dividend yield Johnson & Johnson 3.0% Microsoft 2.9% Apple 2.2% Automatic Data 2.6% Processing Merck 3.7% Walmart Stores 3.0% SOURCES S&P GLOBAL MARKET INTELLIGENCE, S&P RATINGS SERVICES, USA TODAY

and get dividend yields that surpass the 1.64% yield on the 10year Treasury. These six companies are currently yielding an average of 2.9%. Johnson & Johnson is perhaps the best example. The health products company is just one of three companies left in the S&P 500 that have the perfect AAA credit rating from S&P Ratings Services and has a stable outlook. Despite that rock-solid rating, the company’s stock is yielding 2.9%. This company has an added bo-

nus in that it’s in the relatively stable health care business. The stock is down only 1% this year while the S&P 500 is off more than 10%. J&J is only 3.6% off of its 52-week high, in fact, while the market is down 14%. Microsoft is another remaining AAA-rated company with a stable outlook, and it’s also yielding 2.9%. The cloud-technology company’s enormous pile of $113 billion in cash and investments and relatively low debt give investors confidence in its financial strength. It’s important to note that while these companies might have rock-solid financials — and pay a Treasury-beating dividend — that doesn’t mean their stocks won’t fall. Apple is the case study in that. The company has a AA+ credit rating, just one notch below the perfect AAA, and is paying a 2.2% dividend yield. That’s a dividend the company can easily afford given its $215 billion in cash and investments. But just because a company has a high credit rating doesn’t mean its stock can’t fall. Stalling smart-

phone sales have crushed Apple’s stock price by 11% this year and 30% from its high the past 52 weeks. Same goes with Walmart Stores (WMT). The retailer’s nearly 3% dividend yield is attractive — but not without stock risk. Shares have lost about a third of their value from the high over the past 52 weeks. It’s also important to note that dividends aren’t like bond payments — they can be cut or suspended by companies at any time. And there’s no guarantee that the credit ratings won’t deteriorate. Exxon Mobil (XOM) is another AAA rated S&P company and yields 3.7%. But S&P put the company on a negative outlook — reminding investors that there’s still risk. Returns from these stocks are far from guaranteed. And the underlying prices will certainly be riskier than that of Treasuries. But they’re one of the more rocksolid things going as the market gets that much closer to a bear market — and at least investors can take some comfort from that.

POTENTIALLY MAJOR THREATS TO YOUR RETIREMENT Aubrey Cohen l NerdWallet

Even if you’ve been diligently saving for retirement and have your money socked away in the right investments for your age, unforeseen problems can disrupt your careful planning. Threats to your retirement can come from both inside your family and from strangers who want to take advantage of you. Here’s what you can do to protect yourself.

BOOMERANG CHILDREN One of the biggest financial risks to retirement is your grown children, says Helen Huntley, a certified financial planner at Holifield Huntley Financial Advisers in St. Petersburg, Fla. Boomers who support adult children are more likely to still be working, according to a March 2015 study by Hearts & Wallets, an investment and retirement research firm. Only 21% are fully retired, compared with 52% of Boomer households who aren’t supporting their children, the study found. It’s optimal to teach your children self-sufficiency in the first place, so they can avoid a financial crisis that lands them back with you, Huntley says. “Once the crisis actually happens, there isn’t an easy way out,” she says. One way to handle this retirement-savings threat is to force financial independence: Don’t let adult children move back in. Instead, help them set a budget or find a financial planner.

MetLife report. If your parents need financial support, the National Council on Aging’s benefitscheckup.org site is a good place to find assistance programs that can take some of the burden off you.

A SPOUSE DYING WITHOUT LIFE INSURANCE Life insurance is critical when you have a mortgage or debts, or if you’re supporting children. But you could also need life insurance if you’re in your final working years, when you’re in the home stretch of retirement

LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASING TIPS uDON’T NAME MINOR CHILDREN AS BENEFICIARIES on a life insurance policy. They won’t be able to receive the payout until they’re adults. Instead, create a life insurance trust to receive the funds.

uBUYING LIFE INSURANCE THROUGH WORK is a convenient, inexpensive way to get coverage. But you shouldn’t depend on it as your only source of life insurance.

THE BOTTOM LINE Although you can’t eliminate all the potential threats to your retirement savings, you can reduce them. If you have concerns about your retirement planning, consult a financial planner.

CARING FOR ELDERLY PARENTS Studies provide some sobering statistics about care for elderly parents: u11% of adult children younger than 65 provide money to parents, according to the National Institute on Aging’s 2015 Health and Retirement Study. u25% of adult children younger than 65 help parents with things like chores and personal care, often at the expense of a paying job. In fact, people 50 and older who care for parents lose an average of $303,880 in pay, Social Security and pension benefits, according to a 2011

savings. “A lot of people are counting on saving a lot more in the years just before retirement,” Huntley says. More than two in five Americans say they would feel a financial impact within six months of the death of a primary wage earner, according to a 2015 report from the industry group LIMRA and the non-profit group Life Happens. And 30% of Americans think they don’t have enough life insurance, the report said. Term life insurance can be timed to end with your retirement age. For example, if you’re 45, a 20-year term life insurance policy can cover those crucial working years. If you died without life insurance, your spouse might need to dip into retirement savings to cover housing costs, college tuition and other obligations.

A MEDICAL CRISIS Medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States. Even if you can cover your medical bills without digging into savings, an injury or chronic illness could prevent you or your spouse from working during the final years before retirement. You can protect yourself with disability insurance, which replaces a portion of your income if you can’t work. In addition, “having a cognitive issue such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s can really blow up the best of retirement plans,” says Stephen Northington, a certified financial planner and owner of Northington Investment Group in Little Rock. Long-term care insurance can protect your retirement savings by covering the expensive care for a spouse who needs assistance.

RETIREMENT SCAMS Anxiety about not having enough money for retirement creates fertile ground for scammers. A notable example: so-called 702 accounts, which are life insurance policies marketed as retirement accounts. Scammers often use free “early retirement seminars” as a way to pitch their “strategies,” reports the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), a non-profit watchdog. FINRA advises to be wary of any scheme that promises investment returns of 12% or more, or anything promising that you could retire early or make as much in retirement as you did while working.

ETFs are a cheap way to play the market Exchange-traded funds earn a spot in more investors’ portfolios Jeff Reeves

Special for USA TODAY

ETFs are all the rage for investors these days. According to the most recent Investment Company Fact Book, there were nearly $2 trillion in ETF assets at the end of 2014 — up from just $151 billion at the end of 2003. But what the heck are ETFs exactly, and are they right for you? ETF stands for “exchangetraded fund,” and like the name implies, these are investments that trade throughout the day on an exchange. This is a big difference from traditional mutual funds, says Herb White, a certified financial planner and president of Life Certain Wealth Strategies in Denver. “Both of them are a basket of securities, and in both cases they are a way for a person to diversify their holdings,” White says. “The major difference between the two is that the mutual fund is only priced at the close of the trading day, and an ETF does trade just like a stock through the day.” SIMILARITIES TO STOCKS

In other words, an ETF is a fund that trades more like a stock — which sounds like a minor distinction but it’s an important one. For instance, you can’t just invest a fixed sum like you can with mutual funds. ETFs don’t have fractional shares, so you have to buy whole shares at market price. So if an ETF trades for $51.50 per share and you have $100, you can buy only one share.

Although this is a bit more complex for investors, the format allows ETFs to be much more “liquid” than mutual funds — meaning a very active market of buyers and sellers, and thus less friction and cost added in when an investor buys or sells. ETFs are also cheaper, in large part, because these investments are commonly tied to an index — that is, a fixed list of investments such as the 30 stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average or the constituents of the S&P 500. “In many mutual funds, you’re paying for someone to actively manage it. You’re paying for their time, their research. But an index fund is just a group of pooled stocks, and you can have a computer program manage things,” says Megan Petruska, director of portfolio research and advisory at McMahon Financial Advisors in

ETF FUNDS ON THE RISE Exchange-traded funds are growing fast, thanks in large part to their low fees. Total net assets, in billions: $1.97 trillion

Pittsburgh. In addition to these lower embedded expenses, ETFs also don’t charge additional “loads” that some mutual funds do, Petruska says. If applicable, these mutual fund commissions, typically 5.75%, eat into your nest egg. There are also structural and regulatory factors that make ETFs cheaper to run, savings that institutions can “pass on to the investor,” says Dave Nadig, director of exchange-traded funds at financial information provider FactSet Research Systems. And best of all, the downward momentum in the cost of owning ETFs is continuing, he adds. Nadig gives the biggest example of the popular SPDR S&P 500 ETF, a passive fund benchmarked to the S&P 500 index that launched in the 1990s and charged investors just 0.16% annually, or $16 each year on every $10,000 invested. Now, it charges about 0.10% or $10 annually on every $10,000. “The prices are only going one direction over time, and that’s down,” Nadig says.

’14

Given the very low costs associated with ETFs, they are the ideal investment for beginning investors who either don’t have a lot of experience or have a lot of cash to put into the market. “For an investor that’s really not going to immerse themselves in understanding the intricacies of these funds, just look at a simple S&P fund or something like that with a simple buy-and-hold strategy,” White says. Of course, the cost savings works only if you’re making in-

frequent transactions or using a platform that allows you to purchase ETFs without additional trading fees. For instance, if you’re using a broker that charges $10 for each transaction, but you’re only investing $100 each month, you’re actually taking an additional 10% hit with every purchase. “If you were making systematic purchases, taking money out of each paycheck every week and buying ETFs that way, when you take into consideration the fact of a commission to purchase that ETF, that may not be as cost-effective since it counteracts the otherwise low cost of ETFs,” White says. It’s also important to remember that while novice investors can have confidence in a buyand-hold strategy that focuses on ETFs holding big-name U.S. stocks, there are plenty of more aggressive ETFs out there that can expose your portfolio to big risks. That means it’s still on investors to do their homework and pick exchange-traded funds that match their overall investment strategy and risk profile. “Like any investment, you really need to understand what you’re investing in. Just because something is an ETF doesn’t make it perfect,” Nadig says. “There are now almost 2,000 ETFs trading in the United States, and somewhere out there is the worst one. There are plenty of opportunities for investors to make mistakes.” Reeves is the executive editor of InvestorPlace.com.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY PLAYERS, FROM LEFT, DEVONTÉ GRAHAM, WAYNE SELDEN JR., Carlton Bragg Jr. and Brannen Greene celebrate after Graham made several key plays down the stretch to help the Jayhawks upend Oklahoma, 76-72, on Saturday in Norman, Okla.

Norman, Okla. — Bill Self playfully fired a left jab at Devonté Graham’s upper chest before Kansas University’s sophomore guard — the man who dealt a knockout blow to Oklahoma on Saturday in Noble Center — began his postgame interview with ESPN’s Shannon Spake. “He said, ‘Good game, way to play,’” Graham, a 6-foot-2, 175-pounder from Raleigh, N.C., said of praise

showered upon him by KU coach Self after Graham’s career-high 27-point effort and lockdown performance on Buddy Hield led to a 7672 victory over the Sooners. Self tossed more compliments Graham’s way during a postgame news conference held after the Jayhawks improved to 21-4 overall and 9-3 in the Big 12 (good for first-place tie with West Virginia). OU dropped to 20-4, 8-4. “What Devonté did to control the game the second half was a joke,” Self

said of Graham, who scored 17 points the final 20 minutes, including three threes. “Perry (Ellis, 10 points total) didn’t score the second half, (so) he (Graham) just puts us on his shoulders. He was so confident. I think he gives other guys confidence. “I think he grew up a little bit today,” Self added of Graham, who hit eight of 13 shots, including six of nine from three and five of six from the line. Drawing the day’s most difficult defensive assignment, he helped hold Hield to 24 points

Jayhawks send Big 12 message Norman, Okla. — This had looked like the year Kansas University finally had too many weaknesses, too much vulnerability, the year it would let go of its death grip on the Big 12 title. Not anymore. Just in time to make the rest of the conference think, “No, not again!” Kansas has its typical act together. Problems filling the center spot and defending the perimeter, which fueled other conference contenders with hope, are fading to the background just in time to make the Jayhawks the team to beat again, thanks to a huge, 76-72 Saturday-afternoon victory against Oklahoma in Lloyd Noble Center.

off 5-of-15 shooting. Hield missed his first seven shots, scoring just six points the first half, as KU led, 38-33, at the break. Graham basically saved the day after Frank Mason III (14 points, five rebounds, three assists) fouled out on a four-point play — a three by Jordan Woodard and foul shot — with 3:18 left. KU was down after the fourpoint flurry, 69-66. First, Graham tied the score at 69 on a deep three at 3:08. He hit another three

from the corner at 2:06 that erased a 71-70 deficit and put the Jayhawks up to stay, 73-71. “We huddled up, and he (Mason) told us he fouled out. After that I went up to him,” Graham said. “I told him, ‘I got you. I’ve got to put the team on my back now because it’s usually both of us.’ I told him I got him, and that was it.” The Jayhawks followed Graham’s lead to victory. “All the stuff he did was

Norman, Okla. — He might have finished right around his season average on the stat sheet, but Saturday was a rough day for Oklahoma guard Buddy Hield. Rough individually. Rough physically. And roughest of all in the outcome, a 76-72 victory by Kansas University that put the Jayhawks one game up on the Sooners in the Big 12 race with six to play. Hield, who torched Kansas (21-4 overall, 9-3 Big 12) for 46 points in a tripleovertime thriller in January in Allen Fieldhouse, scored

just six points in the first half of Saturday’s loss, and KU built a lead of as many as 14 points while the OU star/strong favorite to win national player of the year honors stumbled out of the gate. Asked to explain his slow start, Hield pointed to a different style of defense played by the Jayhawks. “Yes, ma’am,” Hield said. “I was trying to feel out and see what they were doing. They guarded me really well. They threw a lot of bodies at me. I had some good shots I should’ve made in the first half.” Instead, Hield connected Please see SOONERS, page 4C

NBA ALL-STAR SATURDAY

LaVine repeats as dunk champ Toronto (ap) — Aaron Gordon turned in a great performance in the 2016 All-Star dunk contest Saturday night. But “great” wasn’t quite great enough to dethrone defending champion Zach LaVine. Gordon pushed LaVine to two final-round tiebreakers, but LaVine scored a 50 to Gordon’s 47 on their final attempts. Gordon finished as the runner-up. For his first dunk in the final round, Gordon grabbed the ball from Stuff, the Magic mascot, as Stuff rotated clockwise. Gordon then spun 360-degrees and unleashed a right-handed slam. For his second final-round dunk, Stuff held the ball over his head, and Gordon leaped over Stuff, switched the ball under his legs and slammed it. Gordon received 50 points on each dunk. But LaVine scored 50 on his two final-round dunks, forcing a dunk-off. For his tiebreaker dunk, Gordon called on teammate Elfrid Payton, who threw the ball off the side of the backboard. Gordon caught it, doublepumped and finished with a reverse slam. Gordon once again scored a perfect 50. LaVine tied Gordon again, forcing one more tiebreaker. Gordon then went with a reverse double-clutch dunk — and he received a score of 47. Gordon took the court wearing a suit, which he promptly ripped off, revealing a Magic jersey and shorts. For his first dunk, he elevated, switched the ball between his legs and dunked with his right hand. The judges — Magic Johnson, Tracy McGrady, George Gervin, Dikembe Mutombo and Shaquille O’Neal — each gave Gordon scores of nine out of 10. It was an impressive dunk, but it wasn’t as impressive as LaVine’s. LaVine bounced the ball off the floor, elevated, went behind his back and finished with a reverse dunk. It looked effortless and intricate all at the same time. For his second dunk, Gordon called on Stuff, the Magic’s fur-

Thompson made his final eight shots and edged Curry, who finished second. When Thompson started to walk off the court, clutching the Three-Point Contest trophy, he shook the hand of Bill Russell, who was sitting courtside. Skills Challenge Earlier in the night, Minnesota Timberwolves rookie center Karl-Anthony Towns won the Skills Challenge, beating 5-foot-9 Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas in the final round.

PHIL MICKELSON HITS FROM THE 16TH TEE of the Pebble Beach Golf Links during the third round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National ProAm on Saturday in Pebble Beach, Calif. He was three shots behind, along with Sung Kang, who had a 70 at Pebble Beach. Jordan Spieth, the world’s No. 1 player, was happy to have a tee time today. Spieth struggled on the par 5s for the third straight round, playing them at 1 over at Pebble

Beach. He had to get up-anddown for par on the par-5 18th for a 74 to make the cut on the number. He has played the par 5s in even par for the week. “I’m not in contention,” he said. “It will be the first stressfree round that I’ve really had in quite a while.”

Jacksonville, Fla. — Daniella Chavez hit a three-run home run and Lily Behrmann hit a solo shot as Kansas University’s softball team defeated Coastal Carolina, 5-1, on Saturday. The Jayhawks then fell to North Carolina Greensboro, 6-3, in their second game of the day. Sophomore right-hander Andie Formby (2-0) earned the victory against Coastal Carolina, allowing one run and four hits in four innings. Alexis Reid pitched three scoreless innings to close the game. The Jayhawks took a 3-0 lead in the third inning when Chavez’s home run scored Behrmann and Chaley Brickey. After Coastal Carolina cut it to 3-1 in the fourth, the Jayhawks went ahead 4-1 in the bottom of the inning on Behrmann’s home run. KU added a run in the sixth on a triple by Briana Evans and an infield single by Ania Williams. Chavez also homered for the Jayhawks against North Carolina Greensboro. The Jayhawks (2-2) will meet North Carolina Greensboro again at 9 a.m. today.

Dressler also pulled down 12 rebounds and had three steals, and Stieben had four assists. “Last night was a rivalry game with Seabury,” Veritas coach Carl Huslig said, “and tonight was a league rival. The kids played well. The second quarter was probably the best quarter we played all year. It was a good game.” Veritas (15-12) will host the Metro Mavs on Tuesday at East Lawrence Center.

Once we knew the team race was gone, we could focus on some other things.” Steele, who won his second league title and is the school’s only league champion since 2007, moved up to 132 pounds last month. It became too difficult to cut weight each meet and wrestle at full strength. It hasn’t been the easiest transition to wrestle up in weight — “You definitely feel the size change,” Steele said — but Steele made it look easy Saturday. He won his last two matches by pinfall, including a pin only 90 seconds into the championship match.

At 182 pounds, Clothier won by a 14-5 major decision over Leavenworth senior Jake Harrington. The two matched up against each other two weeks ago at the Olathe North duals, and Clothier won by a narrow 3-0 decision. He looked stronger and sharper Saturday, leading 5-1 after the first two minutes. “I’m starting to get more back into the groove, more comfortable,” Clothier said. “I’m hitting my shots and stuff like that. I’m feeling good right now heading into regionals and state.” Along with Clothier’s league title, LHS junior Tucker Wilson took third place at 160 pounds, and

Overland Park — With only two weeks remaining in the season, Lawrence High senior wrestler Alan Clothier is focused on preparing himself for the state tournament. At the Sunflower League Tournament on Saturday, Clothier showed his opponents what he can do at his best. Clothier, along with Free State sophomore Tate Steele, won league titles in their weight classes at Shawnee Mission West. Free State’s wrestling team took third in the team standings with 146.5 points, 92.5 points behind champion Olathe North. The Lions were seventh with 124 points. Clothier won his third league title — he didn’t compete at the league tournament last year because of an injury — and was named the league’s Wrestler of the Year for the second time in his career, selected by the league’s coaches. Clothier also earned the honor in 2014, and Steele won it last year. “It’s nice to think that all of the coaches thought I was the wrestler of the year,” said Clothier, who owns a 26-2 record this season. “I just thank them all. I’ve worked so hard throughout the years, so I’m happy that they can recognize that.”

“It definitely feels good because the last few weeks I haven’t had as much success going up to 132 (pounds),” said Steele, who has a 34-2 record. “Now that I’m getting a better feel for the weight, I’ve been able to do better.” At 113 pounds, FSHS sophomore Bennett King took second place, losing by a major decision in the championship against Olathe North’s Jevon Parrish. Free State senior Sid Miller added a runner-up finish at 138 pounds, winning by tiebreaker in the semifinals, and sophomore Isaiah Jacobs was third at 126 pounds. “(Miller) hurt his knee yesterday at practice and fought through it,” FSHS coach Mike Gillman said. “He’s the epitome of our program. He never misses anything and does really well. Pretty proud of him.” For the second straight season, the Firebirds finished inside of the top three in the league standings. “We always want to get a little bit better,” Gillman said. “We missed a few points. We left some points on the mat that we probably should’ve gotten. But from where our program has been coming and how it’s growing, third place in the Sunflower League is awesome.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM (4) STRETCHES TO CONTEST A THREE from Oklahoma guard Buddy Hield (24) during the second half of the Jayhawks’ 76-72 victory on Saturday in Norman, Okla.

on just five of 15 attempts all game and did not record a two-point basket. All 24 of his points came on free throws and threepointers, with six free throws representing his total output in the first half. Hield finished the first half 0-of-6 from the floor, with a series of offbalance and rushed shots seemingly the result of KU’s aggressive, in-yourface defense. “That’s what people are doing now,” OU coach Lon Kruger said. “They’re gonna stay into Buddy and not leave him.” As all great players do, Hield found a way to get going in the second half, and his 5-of-8 performance from three-point range in the final 20 minutes nearly led OU (204, 8-4) to victory. But a charge, which Hield said he thought was going to be a foul called in his favor, a missed free throw in the final minute and a few crucial plays by Kansas kept things from going OU’s way. While Hield was doing his best to catch up to his own standard for scoring, KU sophomore Devonté Graham was making the most of his opportunity to go toe-to-toe with a player who will be remembered for a long time around the Big 12 Conference. In 39 minutes, Graham actually outscored Hield, 27-24, leaving Kruger and company with nothing but praise for the KU guard, who scored 20 points on 6-of-12 shooting in 46 minutes during the first meeting between these two. “He played great,” Kruger said of Graham. “Any time someone gets 27, you probably (don’t) bank on that, but he was great. He made big plays for them when they needed ’em, especially when we had a little bit of a lead and couldn’t get a stop. He’s a good player, a talented guy, and he stepped up there and made key buckets for them.”

big-time. He was The Man today. He carried the team,” said KU junior forward Landen Lucas, who took a charge from Hield with 1:10 left and KU up, 73-71. “We all just tried to do our part. He finished it for us.” After Hield hit one of two free throws at :25.3 to cut KU’s lead to 73-72, Graham cashed a pair of charities at 19.9 seconds to boost the margin to 7572. Isaiah Cousins (21 points) missed a game-tying three with 12 seconds left. Jamari Traylor, who rebounded and was fouled, cashed one of two free throws at 10.6 seconds to give KU the insurmountable four-point advantage. “I wasn’t really holding him (on the foul called that sent Hield to the line), but it was the call, so you’ve got to move on,” Graham said. “Thankfully he missed one (free throw with OU down two) because no telling, we’d probably have gone to another three overtimes if he made both,” Graham said, referring to KU’s 109-106, 3OT win over OU on Jan. 4 in Lawrence. Graham admittedly was fired up for the defensive assignment on Hield. “I definitely took it as a challenge, and he still got 24,” Graham said. “I was trying to make every shot a contested shot

I tried to stay on top of him and hound him the best I could.” Self did say the initial plan was to have Mason take over the assignment on Hield with 10 minutes left if nobody was in foul trouble. Mason’s foul problems took care of that. “Devonté wanted the challenge,” Self said of the Graham, who played 39 minutes. “I don’t know if our team is well-conditioned or not. He is unbelievably well-conditioned,” Self said of Graham. “He didn’t get tired. It doesn’t seem possible to me. His defense was excellent. He still put his head down (and drove the ball). The last five minutes of the game he splits ball screens. He was doing everything that requires energy.” Graham wasn’t too tired to have some fun,

posing after his last three from the corner. “It’s big,” he said of the victory, “just enjoying it. Our coaches tell us we’ve got to enjoy every moment. When you are on this stage, you just try to have fun. I was just out there having fun.” And helping make a national name for KU’s backcourt. “I think our guys have been on the outside looking in as far as being thought of having a premier tandem nationally,” Self said. “I think this will probably do some things to garner them a little more attention. There’s a lot of players out there really good but do not have the ‘it factor.’ He has that factor walking around campus every day. They talk about Buddy’s personality, energy. Hey, Devonté doesn’t have any bad days either. I think that rubs off on everybody.” KU will meet Oklahoma State at 8 p.m. Monday in Allen.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD WAYNE SELDEN JR. REACTS TO HAVING AN OUT-OF-BOUNDS BALL GO AGAINST HIM during the second half of the Jayhawks’ 76-72 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday in Norman, Okla.

Self borrows a bit from Hoiberg man, Andy Katz, Bryndon Manzer, Myron Medcalf, Reggie Rankin. Analysts Alexander, Dakich, Ellis and Gasaway pick KU to win the national chanpionship. Dick Vitale has a Final Four of North Carolina, Xavier, Oklahoma and Michigan State, with UNC winning it all.

Self spoke to his team about pre-game hype on Saturday: “I told our guys before the game, it’s not really fair because everything’s Buddy, Buddy, Buddy, Buddy, Buddy, Buddy. That provides natural motivation for other people,” Self said.

Gifts: OU coach Lon Kruger and OU assistant Steve Henson, who played at Kansas State, made it a point to chat with KU radio announcer Bob Davis before the game. Davis, who has been play-by-play voice of KU football and men’s basketball for 32 seasons,

Graham’s monster game was not the only discouraging sign for the rest of the conference. Even against an offensive machine armed with a trio of guards who not only fire from long distance with exceptional accuracy but blow by defenders on the way to the hoop, Kansas played a terrific defensive game, building on an upward trend of late in that department. Kansas coach Bill Self not only chose the right player to guard Hield, he tweaked the way the Jayahwks defended him, setting a goal of never running at him, already being there at the catch. So even though Isiah Cousins’ quickness made it difficult for Wayne Selden Jr. to stay with

him and led to 21 points for Cousins, and even though Hield made five of 11 threes and scored 18 second-half points, Kansas made life miserable for one of the nation’s most potent offenses. Without as much lowpost scoring and therefore not as many trips to the free-throw line, this team was not going to contend without playing typically stingy Kansas defense, so, naturally, that’s what they’re playing. “I feel like we’re getting a lot better at it,” fifth-year senior Jamari Traylor said. “We’re shrinking the floor, we’re rebounding a little bit better, and I feel like that West Virginia game (in Morgantown), we were really, really terrible. I feel like every game

since then we made a couple of steps to get a little bit better, a little bit better, defensively. I feel like it’s starting to show.” By “shrinking the floor,” Traylor said he meant, “clogging the paint, not giving guys driving lanes to the basket, and when they get one, guys are stepping over with help defense.” How has that improvement come about? “Just practice,” Traylor said. “Coach has been on us in practice, and we’ve been holding each other more accountable, from player to player.” Translation: Self has reached the team that in that regard had been more elusive to coaching than most of the squads during the title run. The improved defense

and rebounding is intertwined with the emerging solution to the center problem. Landen Lucas has moved to the head of the class. He came up big again Saturday, producing seven points and 10 rebounds. He and Perry Ellis (10 points, all in the first half, seven rebounds) joined efforts to limit OU’s Ryan Spangler and Khadeem Lattin to a combined nine points and 12 rebounds. The loss pushed Oklahoma out of its share of first place, now shared by Kansas and West Virginia with 9-3 records. No doubt, Jayhawks footsteps could be heard Saturday from Norman to Morgantown, W.Va., to Ames, Iowa, to the Texas towns of Austin and Waco.

Norman, Okla. — Chicago Bulls basketball coach Fred Hoiberg spent time in Kansas University coach Bill Self’s office on Friday in Lawrence. “We talked about everything. I was picking his brain,” KU coach Self said after the Jayhawks used Hoiberg’s fourguard Iowa State lineup for several minutes in the Jayhawks’ 76-72 victory over Oklahoma in Noble Center. Hoiberg, former coach at ISU, was in town with wife, Carol, to visit with Hoiberg’s daughter, Paige, a freshman who works in KU’s basketball office. Hoiberg has some free time over NBA AllStar weekend. “He always plays 4-around-1,” Self said of Hoiberg. “He said, ‘Man, that could be good for you guys.’ I said, ‘We may end up doing it tomorrow.’ We didn’t do it much. I thought it was good for us the little bit we did it.” Of KU’s four-guard lineup, sophomore guard Devonté Graham said: “It’s tough on teams. We have four shooters out there: Me, Frank (Mason III, 14 points), Wayne (Selden Jr., six points) and Brannen Greene (nine points). You’ve got to play us as shooters. It

The Sooners had the best three-point shooting percentage in the nation, too many marksmen to pay too much attention to Hield. So what happens? Kansas sophomore Devonté Graham, with the timing of a Powerball winner, shows a glimpse of what his senior season might look like on a consistent basis by having the game of his life at both ends of the floor. The sophomore outplayed Hield, shut him out for the first 10:55, kept him without a field goal the entire first half, and outscored him.

We were driving it.” Of KU’s four-guard lineup being different than Iowa State’s under Hoiberg, Self said: “They move Georges (Niang) around so much. We can’t play that way because we don’t post our guards. We did that a couple games ago, spread it, drive it.”

“He (Buddy Hield) deserves every accolade he’s received and will continue to get. (But) good players get tired of nobody talking about them and always talking about somebody (else). I didn’t say, ‘Use it as motivation,’ but I think our guys did.”

will retire following the 2015-16 hoops campaign. OU athletic director Joe Castiglione and former OU coach Billy Tubbs presented Davis with a combined OU/KU hat with Davis’ picture on it and also another KU hat. l

After KU’s Tuesday night victory against West Virginia, Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins said: “All due respect to Kansas, I don’t think anybody in this league sits around and thinks about Kansas all the time. ... I mean, do we think about Kansas? We do right before we get ready to play ’em. Other than that, why would ya?” That’s the only way for a coach to look at it, but in the mind of every Big 12 fan outside of Lawrence, and even in the heads of many Big 12 players, the same words surely are bouncing around: “No, not again!” — Tom Keegan appears on The Drive, Sunday nights on WIBW-TV

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Wisconsin knocks off No. 2 Maryland The Associated Press

Top 25 Men Wisconsin 70, No. 2 Maryland 57 College Park, Md. — Wisconsin shut down Maryland in the decisive first half and held on for a victory, ending the Terrapins’ 27-game home winning streak and knocking them out of a tie atop the Big Ten standings. Vitto Brown scored a career-high 21 points, Bronson Koenig had 16, and Nigel Hayes added 14 for the Badgers (16-9, 8-4), who have won seven straight. After using a 28-5 run to go up 35-19, Wisconsin let the lead dwindle to six points with 10:48 remaining before pushing back. A three-pointer by Koenig and a layup by Brown made it 53-41, and the Terrapins never threatened again. Rasheed Sulaimon scored 17 for Maryland (22-4, 10-3), which went 20-for-50 from the field and 12-for-22 at the foul line.

No. 1 Villanova 73, St. John’s 63 Philadelphia — Daniel Ochefu had a career-high 25 points, Ryan Arcidiacono scored 13, and Villanova beat St. John’s. Amar Alibegovic led the Red Storm with a career-best 18 points. St. John’s has lost 16 in a row, the longest streak in Division I. For a half, Villanova (22-3, 12-1 Big East) hardly looked like the nation’s top team. The Wildcats, who were 27-point favorites, only led 28-27 at halftime. Whatever coach Jay Wright said to his team during the break, it worked. Villanova came out firing in the second half, going 9-for-11 while building a double-digit lead. Arcidiacono’s three-pointer capped a 10-3 run and gave the Wildcats their biggest lead to that point, 51-40. ST.

No. 5 Xavier 74, Butler 57 Indianapolis — J.P Macura scored 13 points while Remy Abell and Edmond Sumner had 12 each to lead Xavier. The Musketeers (223, 10-3) won for the sixth time in seven games and retained sole possession of second place in the Big East. Butler (17-8, 6-7) was led by Kelan Martin with 15 points, and Andrew Chrabascz added 11 as its three-game winning streak ended. Xavier rebounded from shooting a season-low 30 percent in Tuesday’s loss at Creighton by making 56.9 percent on the road.

For Atlanta, Cincinnati, Milwaukee and Philadelphia, there’s little hope of getting to the 2016 postseason following decisions to jettison veterans and rebuild for the future. Colorado and San Diego also have retooled and figure to finish far behind. If you’re not all in, 21st-century baseball demands you drop all out in the sport’s version of “Extreme Makeover.” “With respect to doing a ‘rebuild’ that involves giving up for a period of time, I think the rules we have currently promote that,” said New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson, whose team won the NL pennant last year following six straight losing seasons. “I definitely think it’s something that needs to be addressed.” While Boston signed David Price and acquired Craig Kimbrel, Arizona added Zack Greinke and Shelby Miller, and the Chicago Cubs reeled in Jason Heyward, the Braves, Reds and Brewers got rid of veterans. “I just think you have to be realistic about what you got,” said Tony La Russa, the Hall of Fame manager who as Arizona’s chief baseball officer has directed what the Diamondbacks hope is a quick turnaround. “If you’ve got an older group that’s got a chance, you

leagues together, that has developed at the major league level together and ultimately to win at the major league level together, that is a great position to be in,” new Phillies GM Matt Klentak said. Since last August, Boston, Detroit, the Los Angeles Angels, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Seattle and Toronto have replaced their top baseball operations executive. In the previous year, Arizona, Atlanta, Colorado, the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego and Tampa Bay appointed new baseball heads. “They’re not coming in and saying: ‘Oh, you know what, you’re going to raise my payroll, and I’m going to go out and sign the most expensive free agent,’” MLB Chief Legal Officer Dan Halem said. “They come in and they pitch: ‘We’re going to start over. We’re going to rebuild. We’re going to grow our talent. We’re going to improve our minor league system.’ They always come in with a five-year plan.” Some owners and GMs think the collective bargaining agreement covering 2012-16 has encouraged rebuilding. Large market teams can turn around more quickly if prospects develop and extra pieces need to be added. “There clearly does appear to be perhaps more external or media pressure in larger markets,” new Brewers GM David Stearns said. “There are also more financial resources available in larger markets that allow them to more easily access talent via free agency.”

Her regular audience doesn’t seem to mind, either. “I can’t read music,” Compton says again, “but I fit into the group just by listening. I think that’s what the dementia patients do, too. They tune in and all of a sudden just start singing.” Compton, who taught women’s studies, religion and philosophy on the West Coast before moving to Lawrence three years ago, and her friends have gathered at the Oread Friends Meeting house in East Law-

KU grad Nikki Glaser’s Comedy Central show holds nothing back By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

Kansas University alumna, Midwest native and newly minted comedy star Nikki Glaser is a self-described “curious perv,” and proud of it. From her humble beginnings at Kansas City comedy clubs (the reluctant English major would commute after classes in Lawrence any chance she got) to her new Comedy Central show, “Not Safe With Nikki Glaser,” the 31-year-old has always been fascinated by sex. After memorable appearances in Comedy Central’s “Inside Amy Schumer” and last summer’s “Trainwreck,” Glaser now has her own starring vehicle, and it’s every bit as bold as its title might suggest.

Was there ever a moment filming — maybe it was that particular moment — where you thought, “Maybe we’ve crossed the line,” or questioned your own comfort level? NG: Yes, totally. There are a lot of moments like that. I wrote all these questions to ask my dad, just thinking, you know, that it would never happen.

I’ve said it before, but that’s when you know you’re doing something good — when you feel pretty uncomfortable doing it. And the show’s called “Not Safe,” so when we feel unsafe doing something, we feel like, “OK, we’re living up to the name.” JH: Do you think that uncomfortable moment with your dad brought you two together in a weird way? NG: Yeah. I mean, I interviewed both my parents, and I thought they had a pretty boring sex life. Like, I just thought that they were very prudish and that Please see GLASER, page 3D

Mexican artist plans installation at KU The Spencer Museum of Art will host Mexican artist Nacho Rodriguez Bach as he installs his interactive project “The Path of Thought” with the help of Kansas University students on campus this week. Doubling as an art installation and a social experiment, “The Path of Thought” seeks to counteract violence through unbiased thinking, according to a statement from the Spencer Museum. The installation consists of a series of thought-

provoking diagrams that participants follow along a set path on the floor. Rodriguez Bach will also discuss the concepts at play in the installation during an artist’s talk at 6 p.m. Wednesday at The Commons, 1340 Jayhawk Blvd. His multidisciplinary work often integrates philosophy, interactive games or activities and new media to raise important questions. “The Path of Thought” will remain on view Monday through Feb. 26 at The Commons before traveling to other sites on campus and throughout the community this spring.

SHELF LIFE

‘Gold Fame Citrus’ dry in more ways than one

“P

unting the prairie dog into the library was a mistake.” Not exactly “Call me Ishmael,” but enough of a first sentence to intrigue this Kansas librarian. I had heard good things about the new book by up-and-coming author Claire Vaye Watkins and was eager to read it. Watkins was born in Death Valley and raised in the Nevada desert. Her previous book, “Battleborn,” is a prize-winning collection of powerful short stories that echo that inborn interstate tension, tales struggling between boom and bust, hope and despair, action and ennui. The atmosphere throughout much of “Battleborn” is like that in the classic old Western, “The

Glaser

Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” life (and death) moving slowly through sweat and shimmering white light. The feeling continues in Watkins’ new book, “Gold Fame Citrus.” Like Paolo Bacigalupi’s “Water Knife,” which I reviewed a few months ago, it’s a “cli-fi” (climate fiction) novel that takes place fairly soon in the increasingly dry American southwest. Unlike “The Water Knife,” though, the story is not so cutting-edge. Having just reread Frank Herbert’s epic “Dune,” I hoped to discern some wisdom within the desert of “Gold Fame Citrus” akin to the that of the Zensunni Wan-

derers, or ecological knowledge like that of “Dune” planetologist Liet-Kynes; instead I found errors, California cliches and literary tropes. Exhibit one: a damsel in distress. Protagonist Luz is a needy young ex-model “born with a golden shovel in her hand,” with no direction or purpose. Exhibit two: her partner, Ray. A capable vet out of Leavenworth, nice enough, but not the hero type. Three: Levi, the charismatic mystic/ hero/guru guy. You get the idea. Add experimental writing that includes computer question-

naires, changing typefaces, lists, abrupt shifts from third person to first person plural, and entire sections that contribute nothing to the story, and the trip is not as enjoyable as it could be. It’s too bad, for Watkins obviously knows the Southwest land and its history, and strives to get some of it across. Sometimes her writerly devices work. Often her writing truly does shine, usually in phrases and sentences, though the first dozen pages of Book Two are great. A few surprises await to keep the reader intrigued, including this: just as the cliches and listless plot were making me want to read something else, I found tucked in the

middle of the book an illustrated bestiary! But the rest of the book remained lifeless. Luz, which might mean light but sounds like loose or lose, personifies the difficulties of the book itself. She drifts without initiative, lacks spark, and is largely removed from the world. Countless forms of fiction of course exist, but for a story to resonate it ought to in some way address our hopes and dreams, or at least our expectations. “Gold Fame Citrus,” like the sands of the spreading Amargosa dune field, instead ignores them and marches blithely on. — Jake Vail is an information services assistant at the Lawrence Public Library.

To the point where I can do embarrassing things on camera and not go, “Oh my God, what are people going to think?” or “Did I look fat there?” I’m to the point now where I don’t break down crying every day about that.

Share Valentine’s Day spirit with a vet today Dear Readers: Happy Valentine’s Day to one and all, along with our special good wishes to our veterans in VA hospitals around the country. And our particular thanks and appreciation to those readers who have taken the time to send valentines, visit the vets and volunteer at VA facilities. Bless each and every one of you. You are truly caring and compassionate. Dear Annie: I have been friends with “Lorraine” for 20 years. The friendship was maintained mostly through long phone calls and visits to her house. When I divorced and became a single parent, it was not always convenient for me to be on the phone for hours

or to stop by after work. Lorraine’s husband was very controlling, so coming to my house was not an option. When I had surgery, Lorraine didn’t visit at all, and I was crushed. I wrote her a letter explaining how hurt I was. She sent me a scathing reply and that was the end of our friendship. When we ran into each other last year at a shopping mall, I

Record label tale is stuck in the past HBO’s ambitious new series “Vinyl” (8 p.m., TV-MA) arrives with an impressive pedigree. It touts the creative team of Martin Scorsese, Rolling Stone Mick Jagger and writer-producer Terence Winter (“The Sopranos,” “Boardwalk Empire,” “The Wolf of Wall Street”). Impressively produced, “Vinyl” can be watched for production values alone. A lot of effort went into getting the hair, clothes, decor and ambience just right. But not unlike an aged rocker filled with decades-old “you had to be there” anecdotes about cocainefueled benders, “Vinyl” is frequently dull and overwrought when not unbearable. Neither excessive enough to be exciting nor over-the-top enough to become fun, “Vinyl” disappoints. Set in the early 1970s, but studded with flashbacks and even flashbacks within flashbacks, “Vinyl” stars Bobby Cannavale as Richie Finestra, the founder and CEO of a record label that has lost its way. As things begin, he’s in the midst of selling the company to soulless European corporate executives, a deal that will make Richie and his confederates very wealthy. In a weird way, “Vinyl” is like “The Winds of War” or any number of vintage historical miniseries. It places Richie at the right moment to witness the creation of virtually every musical style. It strives so hard to establish Richie’s seminal vision and cool cred that it becomes rather silly. And he’s not just a purist who’s into the good stuff; he’s got to put down the lame music that has “ruined rock and roll!” Anyone or any series that needs to denigrate England Dan and John Ford Coley to bolster its bona fides is in trouble. Curiously dull from the getgo, “Vinyl” opens with Richie scoring drugs in a seedy part of town. He’s then fascinated by a crowd of kids rushing into a dilapidated building, where the sounds of the New York Dolls literally shake the walls. He stumbles through an opulently produced and meticulously detailed scene of orgiastic excess. Then he stops, slack-jawed, to gawk and listen to a re-enacted performance of “Personality Crisis.” The whole darn song. Tonight’s other highlights O Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): CIA Director John Brennan; FIFA’s scandals; music industry photographer Danny Clinch.

found out she was divorced and happier. We were delighted to be friends again. Here’s the dilemma: Lorraine likes to drink. She was pulled over for a DUI two months ago and decided she will drink only in her own home or if someone drives her. It’s a smart decision, but our friendship is now back to where it was before, sustained through long phone calls and my visiting her home. Annie, I am happily married now and enjoy being with my husband. Lorraine wants me to visit her on my own. I have done this a few times, but I am feeling resentful that we are back to this one-sided visitation. If I tell her, I’m not sure what the outcome would

be. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. — Round Two Dear Two: You probably know what the outcome would be. Lorraine has her own issues and you cannot fix them. We suggest you put boundaries on this relationship that allow you to maintain it within your own comfort zone. Visit when you want, even if it is less often than Lorraine would like. You don’t need to make excuses or apologies for having a life apart from hers

Epsom salt not right for all gardens

s you gear up for gardening season, the idea of using common household products to save money, reduce the use of synthetic products or return to an old way of doing things in the garden might seem attractive. There are a lot of suggestions along these lines floating around out there, and one of the most common is using Epsom salt as a fertilizer and a pest control agent. Epsom salt has a history of use in agriculture, but before you stock up on the mineral compound, consider whether use is really warranted in your garden or on your plants. Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. Its key components, magnesium and sulfur, are essential to plant growth, so the idea of Epsom salt as a fertilizer is sensible. However, like any other fertilizer, too much of a good thing may be just a waste of time and money. In worse examples, too much fertilizer is also an environmental issue. What complicates the issue

Jennifer Smith of Epsom salt’s effectiveness is that Epsom salt might be beneficial in some soil types, while being a complete waste in others. How do you know the difference? A soil test can help, but it only provides part of the picture. Soil pH and texture affect a soil’s ability to retain nutrients like magnesium and sulfur, but they also affect a plant’s ability to absorb certain nutrients. That means magnesium and sulfur deficiencies can occur in plants even when adequate amounts of magnesium and sulfur are found in the soil in which the plant is growing.

WHILE EPSOM SALT HAS A REPUTATION AS A GOOD FERTILIZER, most soils in Kansas already contain the essential magnesium and sulfur that Epsom salt provides. In Kansas, true magnesium and sulfur deficiencies are rare. These deficiencies are most common in acidic soils and in the types of soils typically found in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Kansas soils are typically alkaline, although

they may be high in calcium or potassium, which can also affect magnesium uptake. The belief in Epsom salt’s benefits to the garden probably comes from its use as a fertilizer in intensive cropping systems with known magne-

sium deficiencies. In research done in home garden settings, Epsom salt has been applied to the soil and directly to plants as a foliar solution, with few observations of any difference in plant growth. Epsom salt is also unproven in the arena of pest control. If it worked as a fertilizer, a plant might be less susceptible to insects and disease or better able to withstand attacks. Unfortunately simply sprinkling it around your plants is unlikely to ward off any pests. Epsom salt gets its name from the town of Epsom in England, where it was originally extracted from springwater. In addition to its purported benefits in the garden, it is said to have a number of uses in health and personal care. — Jennifer Smith is a former horticulture extension agent for K-State Research and Extension and horticulturist for Lawrence Parks and Recreation.

Replace a single-handle faucet cartridge to fix a leak

eplacing the cartridge for a singlehandle Delta or Peerless brand faucet is a simple task. Step 1: Use the shut-off valves located beneath the sink to turn off the water supply to the faucet. Step 2: Move the faucet handle to the open position to relieve any pressure in the water lines. If the water is still running, shut off the water supply using the main water valve instead. Step 3: Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the red and blue button located on the front of the faucet handle. Step 4: Use a 1/8-inch hex wrench to remove

WITH A FEW SIMPLE TOOLS, replacing a cartridge for a singlehandle faucet is easy. Step 5: Once the set screw is removed, lift the faucet handle up and off the cartridge stem. Set the handle and the set screw aside. Be careful

not to lose the set screw. Step 6: Unscrew the faucet cap located beneath the handle. Rubber or vinyl-coated gloves may also help in grip-

ping the cap. If the cap is stuck, a strap wrench should help to loosen it without damaging it. Step 7: Once the cap is removed, use an adjustable wrench to unscrew the bonnet nut. Step 8: Lift the bonnet nut, sleeve and cartridge out from inside the faucet. Step 9: Check the inside of the faucet for debris or broken pieces. Use a soft cloth to remove any buildup found in the faucet. Step 10: Insert the new cartridge into the faucet. Make sure to line up the nubs on the bottom of the cartridge with the indentations on the inside of the faucet. The cartridge should slip eas-

ily into place. Step 11: Slip the sleeve and bonnet nut over the cartridge. Hand-tighten the nut into place and use an adjustable wrench to finish tightening the nut. If the nut is loose, the faucet may still leak. If it is too tight, handle movement may be impeded. Step 12: Screw the cap back into place. Step 13: Slip the handle over the cartridge stem and secure to the stem with the set screw. Step 14: Turn the water back on and test the faucet for leaks. — Have a home improvement question for the Fix-It Chick? Email it to Linda Cottin at features@ljworld.com.
