DOLE INSTITUTE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR BARBARA BALLARD, left, listens as Lynn Sherr discusses astronaut Sally Ride as part of the Lawrence Public Library's annual "Read Across Lawrence" program Wednesday evening at the Dole Institute, 2350 Petefish Drive. Sherr was a longtime "20/20" correspondent and the author of "Sally Ride: America's First Woman in Space."

ally Ride was worldfamous for being the first American woman in space. But for all her publicity in that arena, Ride was a private person whose personal life was not widely known until after her death in 2012, said Lynn Sherr, the former ABC

News journalist who covered and befriended Ride before her first space flight and recently published the astronaut’s definitive biography, “Sally Ride: America’s First Woman in Space.” Sherr spoke Wednesday evening at Kansas University’s Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive. Her visit was in conjunction with the Lawrence Public Library’s

Read Across Lawrence program, which has a space theme this year. The biography reveals much about Ride that America never saw in previous decades of news reports. For one, while Ride once told a high school friend she wanted to be a famous scientist, she was never

She cared deeply about making sure that door was open to other women.” — Lynn Sherr, former ABC News journalist

After officials with the Lawrence school district raised concerns, the city is holding off on requirements that would make school storm shelters safer. City staff emailed district representatives “several weeks ago” about new storm shelter requirements that would make shelters safer in the event of a tornado, according to a city memo. In response, Superintendent Rick Doll asked to discuss a possible city code amendment owing to “the potential high cost of designing and building storm shelters and/or safe rooms to meet the new (standards).” While renovations at all 20 Lawrence schools as part of SCHOOLS the $92.5 million bond issue include “hardened space” shelters with steel reinforcements and concrete ceilings, those spaces do not meet international or national FEMA-approved codes for storm shelters. Doll declined an interview with the Journal-World on Wednesday to discuss the topic, via district spokeswoman Julie Boyle. “Dr. Doll said that since we have just learned that the city would be discussing this issue, we will need some time to review the new standards and their application to schools,” Boyle wrote in an email. “The district has included structurally enhanced storm sheltering areas in all of the schools receiving additions as part of the bond issue.” Please see SHELTER, page 2A

‘We had to do something about it’ By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Speaking Wednesday under a projected quote from Martin Luther King Jr., one of three founders of the national Black Lives Matter movement issued a call to action to the crowd filling Kansas University’s Lied Center. “You have the choice of

doing the work or not,” Opal Tometi said. “You don’t get to be neutral.” The message was directed at all in attendance as Tometi pleaded with white students at the lecture to set aside privilege and hesitation and become allies of

the movement. Black Lives Matter was a love note to African-Americans and an invitation to others, she said. “What we need is courageous people to become engaged,” she said. “Embrace

Sentence Lives issued over illegal workers

Staff Reports

Ottawa — An Ottawa restaurant manager was sentenced Tuesday for harboring undocumented workers, the Office of United States Attorney Barry Grissom in the District of Kansas said in a news release. Alex Sanchez Jr., 36, manager of El Mezcal Mexican Restaurant in Ottawa, pleaded guilty to a single count of harboring undocumented workers for commercial advantage, the release said. In his plea, Sanchez admitted he was fined $22,589 in 2011 when Immigrations and Customs Enforcement discovered he was violating employee eligibility verification forms. The Ottawa restaurant closed in June 2013. The Lawrence El Mezcal on Wakarusa Drive was listed at the time as being under the same leadership as the location in Ottawa. That Lawrence location has closed. Sanchez was sentenced to six months in prison followed by six months of home confinement, the release said. He was also ordered to pay a fine of $4,000 and will be on supervised release for three years following his sentence.

comfortable with the publicity, press conferences, speeches and magazine covers that came with being the first American woman in space. Ride was shy, an introvert, Sherr said. And her diaries, which Sherr obtained after her death, revealed that she consulted a psychotherapist for the stress. “She probably did thousands of speeches,” Sherr said. “She had to psych herself up for every single one of them.” When Ride was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, she did not share that, either, Sherr said. She died less than two years later, at the age of 61. It wasn’t until after

Shelter CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

At issue is a requirement that storm shelters be designed and constructed to withstand winds of up to 250 MPH. The wind provision was put forth by the 2015 International Code Council and is in line with standards developed by the ICC in consultation with the National Storm Shelter Association and FEMA that were first published in 2008. The city’s current construction codes fall under the 2012 ICC series of codes, with local amendments, according to the memo. City officials said the deferral is intended to be only temporary, in order to give those af-

your discomfort and grow the movement.” The plea was reinforced with the quote from the slain civil rights leader: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” Already an activist, Tometi recalled the event that prompted the creation of Black Lives Matter: the 2013 acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin. “It was absolutely historic,” she said. “So many of us felt like we were collectively punched in the gut. It was as if we had to do something about it. We couldn’t let our generation be known for that story.” Ironically, she learned of the verdict when checking her cellphone after watching a movie on the shooting death of an unarmed Oscar Grant by a Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer, Tometi said. She immediately started engaging other activists on social media, which soon led to the creation of the Twitter hashtag #BlackLivesMatter, she said. The movement’s “second founding” was the protests in Ferguson, Mo., that followed the shooting death of

Ride’s death — when her partner of 27 years was mentioned in one of the last lines of her obituary — that the world learned she was gay, Sherr said. Knowing Ride was terminally ill, she and Tam O’Shaughnessy had prepared the obituary in advance and agreed, in it, to make their relationship public, Sherr said. O’Shaughnessy later provided Ride’s diaries and was instrumental in facilitating many interviews for the biography, Sherr said. Sherr said she’s not sure why it was so important for Ride to keep her relationship and other aspects of her life so private, but she has a guess. Ride was a master “compartmentalizer,” always good at keeping secrets, from personal ones to classified government fected by the new codes time to figure out how changes can be implemented. In addition to the Lawrence public school district, private schools and critical emergency operations facilities such as police and fire stations would be affected and are also being deferred. “That is a temporary measure to bring stakeholders together to discuss the best way to implement storm shelter requirements in the future,” said Barry Walthall, a building official with the city. When asked whether a permanent city code exemption to the wind provision could still be an option, Walthall said nothing was ruled out at this point. “Basically, there is nothing, as far as options, that is not up for

Since then, others have reworded the slogan, with “all lives matter” being the most popular alternative, Tometi explained. “Trust me, I believe all lives matter,” she said. “I wouldn’t be doing this work if I didn’t believe that.” That view was revealed in the Black Lives Matter principles Tometi shared with the audience. Those principles deplore racism, sexism and ageism and repeatedly call for LGBT inclusion in the movement and society.

information, Sherr said. She also may have feared backlash that would hurt her public and professional image. But mainly, Sherr guesses, especially having so many labels on her public life, “she needed some private space of her own.” Being in the public eye might have been a negative result of Ride’s historic 1983 space flight, Sherr said. However, the positive impact was huge. “She cared deeply about making sure that door was open to other women,” Sherr said. “She didn’t want to mess up for other women. If she did well it would open the door for other women behind her, and that’s exactly what it did.” While Ride faced obstacles — not the least of which was being picked from some discussion,” he said. “There are a lot of ways that this could be implemented. I don’t think anybody is advocating for shortchanging safety. I think it’s a matter of trying to figure out the logistics.” In recent years, some nearby school districts have used grants to fund FEMA-approved storm shelters. Baldwin City, Eudora and the private Bishop Seabury Academy all used grant funds to build significant FEMA-approved, concrete-encased safe rooms at several of their facilities. The new wind provision would not be retroactive, so it would only apply to facilities that were built or expanded after the adoption. The school district has several active construction projects, including

Nonetheless, Tometi said, she remained committed to the slogan’s original wording. “The fact is all lives don’t matter in the racist caste system of the U.S.,” she said. “Black lives don’t matter.” Evidence of that could be found nationwide through such examples as the high incarceration and unemployment rates among black Americans, poorly funded schools in black communities and neglected neighborhoods, Tometi said. It was a theme she returned to when asked at the conclusion of her speech about so-called black-on-black vio-

8,000 applicants, more than 1,000 of them other women, to take that first space flight — her can-do spirit stemmed from her upbringing. Even as a small child in the 1950s, Ride’s parents or teachers never told her she couldn’t be anything in the world she wanted, Sherr said. “She really did believe she could do what she wanted,” Sherr said. “She had people who basically said, ‘You can do and be what you want to be.’” Ride was a student at Stanford University, where she got her doctorate degree in physics, when she answered an advertisement seeking applicants for the space program. Sherr said that’s an example of a lesson to be learned from the way Ride lived her life. “Seize the moment,” Lawrence High School, Schwegler Elementary and Deerfield Elementary. Projects at Pinckney, Sunflower, Broken Arrow and Prairie Park elementaries are scheduled to begin this summer, and renovations to the six secondary schools are planned for upcoming years. At the City Commission meeting Tuesday, commissioners unanimously approved a series of construction codes under the 2015 ICC. The storm shelter ordinance was deferred with the staff recommendation for three to six months of additional review and consideration of potential amendments. Results and recommendations for any code amendments would be brought back to the City Commission for discus-

lence. It was something that concerned and engaged Black Lives Matter, she said, but noted it was often a topic used to deflect the focus from state violence toward the black community. Noting there was more white-on-white violence in the United States, she suggested the alternative phrase “inter-communal violence,” and placed its presence in black communities in context. “Inter-communal violence is present because of state violence,” she said. “That looks like dilapidated communities, underfunded schools and the rampant stop-andfrisk of young black men.”

Topeka — The Kansas ethics commission has rejected a complaint filed by a top Democrat against Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s re-election campaign for paying lawyers more than $167,000, the governor’s spokeswoman said Wednesday. Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said the Governmental Ethics Commission notified the campaign organization of the decision shortly after the commission ended its regular monthly meeting Wednesday. The commission emerged from a closed, 20-minute session without saying anything about the complaint filed last month by Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley. The Topeka Democrat alleged that Brownback’s re-election campaign violated a state law against using campaign funds to cover personal expenses by paying defense lawyers last year amid a federal investigation of loans to the campaign by the governor’s running mate, Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer.

I thought it was important that our own ethics commission have an opportunity to look into, especially, the use of campaign-fund money for paying legal fees.” — Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka

Hensley said he was told the commission would consider his complaint Wednesday. When the commission determines there is probable cause to believe state law has been violated, it typically announces the finding and sets a public hearing on a complaint. “We are pleased the Ethics Commission rejected Senator Hensley’s meritless and unfounded complaint,” Hawley said in an emailed statement. “As we have said before, the campaign was conducted in compliance with all laws and regulations.” Please see ETHICS, page 5A

Should Kansas With that action, commissionUniversity institute ers approved final project costs a clear-bag policy at for the improvements’ Phase 2, sporting events? a 52,000-square-foot open pavilAsked on ion of $2.7 million, and Phase 3, Massachusetts Street $1.75 million for an arena. The open pavilion will have a See story, 3A capacity of 4,000 and a 16-stall recreational vehicle parking lot with utility hookups. The arena at the site of the current Derby Arena will have

concrete seating for 1,965 spectators. The seats will be aligned to the north, west and south of the arena floor and be constructed on earthen berms in a design similar to the athletic fields at Lawrence and Free State high schools, Assistant County Administrator Sarah Plinsky said. Excavation of the arena floor will provide dirt for the berms, she said. Construction is ongoing on the project’s $2.35 million Phase 1, which includes the razing of Buildings 1 and 2 and their replacement with a new meeting room. Plinsky said a $6.5 million full project estimate was developed

in 2013. The higher final cost reflects inflation, firmer pricing and the addition of a restroom west of the arena, she said. Construction will continue through the spring and summer, with a break for the Douglas County Fair. The project should conclude next fall, Plinsky said. In other business, the County Commission: l Approved the 2016 contract for tow truck providers on the county’s dispatch list. Commissioners agreed to elements of the contract at their Feb. 17 meeting, and the measure approved reflects the commissioners’ direction to set a maximum charge of $175 plus $4 per mile for vehicles

less than 12,000 pounds, and $250 plus $4 per mile for those weighing more than that amount. The fee charged to unhook a vehicle from a truck before a tow was increased to $90. l Instructed county purchasing director Jackie Waggoner to schedule discussions with Lawrence car dealerships on how they might bid on county vehicles through the Mid America Council of Public Procurement process. The county had taken steps to allow local dealerships to better compete on bids for county needs, Waggoner said. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166 and ejones@ljworld.com.

Kansas crops valued at $6.48B Wichita (ap) — A new government report forecasts the 2015 value of field and other crops in Kansas at $6.48 billion. The National Agricultural Statistics Service said Wednesday that its estimate for the state is down less than 1 percent from 2014. The agency said it anticipates the value of the state’s corn production at $2.18 billion. The value of winter wheat production in Kansas trailed behind at $1.56 billion.

There also would be representatives from the city of Lawrence, the Lawrence Police Department and law enforcement agencies in the county, he said. A similar Johnson County body offers a model for its activities, Gaughan said. That group’s mission is to coordinate efforts to identify alternatives to incarceration, spot strengths and weaknesses, boost collaboration and sharing of resources, promote proven strategies to reduce recidivism, address causes of crime, and work to maintain public safety. Gaughan said the coordinating council would require some staff support, especially with what would be one of its key tasks of gathering and collating data from the different agencies. The group would play a key role in the county’s efforts to improve its criminal justice system and mental health services, which would continue even with voter approval of the jail expansion and crisis intervention center, Flory said. “I don’t think we will ever stop looking at new and better ways to improve the jail situation,” he said.

In-law’s lies unlikely to stop anytime soon Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 32 years to “Conrad,” and we have two terrific adult sons. My mother-in-law will be 87 soon, and Conrad is her only child. I have never had a good relationship with her in spite of all my efforts. She chose not to attend our wedding reception because it was hosted by her late ex-husband’s second wife. Instead, she told us that she stayed home, drank champagne and “cried all night.” My husband and I are in Maui for a month. Prior to our departure, I provided a list (in a large font) of all contact information for family members, physicians, dentists, etc., and clipped it to a magnet on her refrigerator. While we’ve been gone, her condo has developed a basement leak. My husband and I have been on the phone

He told her that I would never say that, but she insisted that I had. I want to be sure I am courteous when we

Time for final finalists on ‘Idol’ Ready for a first and a last? Or the last first? How about the final finalists? For what it’s worth, tonight marks the first appearance of the top 10 finalists on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG). This is the final top 10 of a series that has been making such lists since 2002. Surely there are fans of the show who will be able to recite, and perhaps rank, all 150 top 10 finalists from the show’s 15 seasons. And perhaps “Idol,” in full valedictory mode, will showcase them. L a s t Wednesday marked the first time that “Idol” was pitted against CBS’ “Survivor,” another longlasting relic from the dawn of reality TV. The two series attracted almost the same-sized audience, roughly 8 million viewers — healthy numbers in today’s fractured marketplace, but far from the days when “Idol” was considered the “Death Star” of television. O British television fixture John Simm (“Life on Mars”) returns in “Prey” (9 p.m., BBC America, TV-14) as a Manchester police detective who vanishes into the city’s criminal underworld to clear his name after being accused of killing his wife. O Hosted by the Oscar-winning star of “The Theory of Everything,” ‘‘War Art With Eddie Redmayne” (6 p.m., Ovation) explores the connection between the brutality of armed conflict and artistic expression, profiling artists inspired by war and visiting scenes of carnage, from World War I battlefields to the horrors of contemporary Syria.

Artistic revival The Lawrence Art Guild has a long history in the community, which should support the guild’s efforts to rebuild.

couple of months ago, the Lawrence Art Guild appeared to be near death, which would have been a great loss to the community. Now a group of guild members and former officers are working to bring the organization back to life — an effort that deserves the community’s full support. For more than 50 years, the Lawrence Art Guild has supported local artists and sponsored signature events. It organized the first Art in the Park in 1962 and later established the popular Holiday Art Fair. The art guild served as the bedrock organization for a local arts community that has grown into a huge asset for Lawrence. The guild helped set the foundation for the many events and organizations that now promote arts and artists in Lawrence. In recent years, it became obvious that the organization had lost some of its energy, and participation in its key events dwindled. In the last few months, it was learned that the guild was another example of a local nonprofit group that fell victim to lax leadership and insufficient board oversight. The good news is that the guild appears to be on its way back. Some dedicated board members have gotten together and taken some tough actions to replace the ineffective leadership and get a handle on what would be needed to get the organization back on track. A new board has been put in place and is working through financial issues. At the same time, they are moving ahead on plans for this year’s Art in the Park event on May 1. Applications for artists are available on the guild’s website and are due on March 10. As noted above, local artists have many more venues at which to display and sell their work than they did when the art guild held its first Art in the Park, but it would be great to see a large roster of quality artists at this year’s event. Hopefully, the weather will be great (the rain date is May 8), and many local residents will turn out to support what still is one of the community’s bestloved artistic traditions. Thanks to those who are working to revive the Lawrence Art Guild. It’s an important part of the community’s artistic legacy and hopefully will remain a vital part of its artistic future.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 25, 1916: “The Kaw Valley Improved Highway Association, formed last years night as the result of the Good ago Roads and Get-Together meeting IN 1916 in Lawrence, marks the first definite action to secure a hard surface highway between Topeka and Kansas City. Representatives from Kansas City, Kansas, Topeka, and all the towns along the river between these cities were present and spoke at the meeting last night.... It was the unanimous sentiment of the meeting that the organization should not await the passing of bills more favorable to the construction of hard surface roads, but should commence immediately.” “The Lawrence Radio club will hold a meeting tonight in the manual training building. All persons interested are invited to attend the meeting and hear the talks and watch the experiments. The program will be the fourth number in a series in ‘The Experimental Development of the Wireless Telegraph.’” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Trump’s faith is mostly in himself A few words about Donald Trump’s faith. It was, as you know, called into question last week by Pope Francis. Aboard the papal plane returning from a visit to Mexico, the pontiff was asked about the mercurial billionaire turned Republican presidential candidate who has vowed to build a wall along America’s border with Mexico and somehow make the Mexicans pay for it. The pope’s response: “A person who thinks only about building walls, wher-

Yet his threadbare impersonation of a Christian seems not to have hurt him a bit. That’s startling given that faith has always been a primary litmus test of American politics.” ever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian.” Somehow, the Vesuvius of Id that is Trump did not erupt. (“This pope is a loozah! Worst pope ever!”) Instead, Trump confined himself to calling the pope’s words “disgraceful” and suggested Francis would want him to be president if ISIS ever stormed the Vatican. By his standards, that was downright restrained. This being the Bizzaro World campaign of 2016, this contretemps was soon subsumed by others. But let’s not move on without thanking the pope for saying what has needed saying for

a while. After all, Trump’s inauthenticity is hardly a revelation, given how painfully awkward have been his attempts to pass himself off as a man of faith. We are talking about a guy who tap dances like Sammy Davis when discussing the Bible, who when asked his favorite verse, declined to give it “because to me, that’s very personal,” who replied “probably equal” when asked if he prefers the New Testament or the Old. Then there’s his mangling the name of the Bible book containing the Apostle Paul’s second letter to the church at Corinth: Did he really call it “Two Corinthians!?” Don’t even most atheists know that it’s called Second Corinthians? Generally one should avoid questioning another person’s religious conscience. But Trump merits an exception. Faith, after all, is an act of surrender, the subordination of human ego to divine will. It is, putting it mildly, difficult to imagine this fellow ever subordinat-

ing his ego to … anything. Donald Trump’s greatest faith has always been in Donald Trump. Yet his threadbare impersonation of a Christian seems not to have hurt him a bit. That’s startling given that faith has always been a primary litmus test of American politics. Indeed, every major elective office might as well have a sign at the door: The Non-Religious Need Not Apply. Yet the respected political blog FiveThirtyEight reports that in romping over the rest of the GOP field in last weekend’s South Carolina primary, Trump commanded 34 percent of the evangelical Christian vote, considerably better than the more believably Christian Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush. The apparent willingness of evangelical voters to give him a pass leaves you wondering if perhaps a candidate’s faith no longer matters so much to them. Or maybe it’s that his anger matters more. Maybe those voters have opted for expe-

dience over religious purity. Maybe they are unhappy with the social and demographic changes the country is undergoing, and he represents their last best hope of forestalling that change or, failing that, their primal scream of protest. Fine. But let’s not call that faith. As the pope said, faith is about bridges, not walls. It is potting soil for the things we hope. It is an obligation to serve and protect “the least of these.” And it is an assurance that at the end of the day, no matter how bad it looks, we win. You see little of that in politics. And the pope was right: You see none of it in Trump. Monday night found him campaigning in Las Vegas when a man in the audience apparently staged some kind of demonstration. Donald Trump, man of faith, watched as security guards hauled the protester out. “I’d like to punch him in the face,” he said. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

PUBLIC FORUM

Disgraceful remarks To the editor: Where do we get our cards? If the League of Women Voters and its fellow travelers who seek only to expand the American electorate and thus promote greater involvement in our political process are “communist” organizations, sign us up. Mr. Kobach’s fear-mongering remarks are truly disgraceful and, we would argue, the real threat to our system of government. Although we could say more, much has already been said. We will simply offer an “Amen!” to the opinion expressed by Barbara and Keith Wood and in the Journal-World editorial of last Tuesday, and pray that the majority of Kansans and Americans will wake up and not be swayed by such demagoguery. Virgil and Jan Dean, Lawrence

Jail expense To the editor: On Feb. 10, this newspaper’s Opinion page contained an interesting “Your Turn” article by Benet Magnuson, executive director of Kansas Appleseed, a local nonprofit organization. Mr. Magnuson presented not his opinion, but actual facts and figures that conclusively demonstrate that it would be a great waste of money for Douglas County to build an expensive jail expansion costing the taxpayers $30 million, money that could be better spent for projects that could really help Douglas County residents live happier, more fulfilling lives. I urge every citizen to read or reread this “Your Turn” article for a complete summary of the number and nature of the criminal cases recently filed in Douglas County. One particularly noteworthy fact is that the number of cases filed has dropped by an astounding 42 percent, including large decreases in the number of violent crimes. One can easily find this article by

writing “Magnuson,” “Lawrence Journal-World” and “Feb. 10, 2016” in your Google search engine. It will come right up. It would be great if the general public could be informed that there is no need for this smoke-and-mirrors jail expansion project. With the crime rate steeply falling, there isn’t even any smoke here! Jane Frydman, Lawrence

Sad state To the editor: I am ashamed that I used to feel smug when looking at the two states that always ranked at the bottom of any list of quality. Now, I know the hopelessness that comes from watching my beloved home state sink into the mire of inferiority. Our legislature has slashed programs that care for those we are morally obligated to protect. The newspapers carry information every day of some new cuts to our schools and our safety nets for the weakest, as we rob one program after another. I taught American history and government for 30 years and now see leaders who seem to have no understanding of the system that has come down to us. The important separation of the three branches of government is being attacked. Our state leaders wish to manipulate the independence of the courts. How frightening! The last thing we should want is to see the courts in the pockets of the politicians. I am very proud of how this state responded to the Civil War, and, yet, now we seem to have forgotten the evil of nullification that was one of the main reasons for that war. Our state leaders seem to say Kansas can nullify and ignore any federal law it doesn’t like. Those who support the federal system and the separation of the branches are called ridiculous names in hysterical attacks. What has happened to the respect for the loyal opposition? I weep for my state and our children. Eilene M. Lawrence, Lawrence

Trump-speak To the editor: Frankly, I hope Republicans nominate Donald Trump. Maybe embarrassment will bring the party of Lincoln back to sanity. But seriously, do we want a president who will say anything? When I was a teenager, I heard about a construction worker on the Sears Tower who picked up a sheet of plywood and was blown off the side. He hung on and landed a mile away in Lake Michigan. Is that “fact”? So, Trump is telling the myth that “Black Jack” Pershing had 49 Filipino Muslim terrorists shot with bullets soaked in pig blood like it is history. And he’s selling the lesson that it takes tough guys, like Black Jack, who can use terror against the bad guys. “By the way,” he says, “this is something you can read in the history books. Not a lot of history books, because they don’t like teaching this.” What history books? Putting aside his slander of Gen. Pershing, I’m not sure what is more insulting, that he thinks we’ll believe Muslims are that stupid, or that we’re dumb enough to accept myth in place of history? He didn’t get this from a history book, assuming he knows what one is. Do you want this guy sitting by the “red” telephone? After his string of debauches: Mexican rapists, Megyn Kelly “bleeding,” McCain the “loser” in a North Vietnamese prison, Pope Francis not knowing what’s Christian and now this. Have I missed any? Shame on the GOP, even in Kansas. William Skepnek, Lawrence

The extremist group says it’s responding to growing efforts by Facebook and Twitter to suspend accounts and remove posts that they say incite violence and promote terrorism. The video shows hackers changing profiles and posting Islamic State propaganda. They allege they have hacked more than 10,000 Facebook accounts, more than 150 Facebook groups and

Wrong, wrong and Susan Page wrong. USA TODAY His third-in-a-row victory in the Nevada caucuses Tuesday marks new breakthroughs for the candidate who undeniably has earned the status of likely Republican presidential nominee. After almost all of the votes were counted, he was backed by 45.9% — breaking the supposed “ceiling” on his support that the political pros predicted he faced. Indeed, his support was a stitch higher than the combined vote for his two strongest remaining rivals. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio edged Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for second place, a result likely to give neither a significant boost of momentum but ensure that both stay in the race — the best possible outcome for the billionaire businessman who attacks Cruz as a liar and dismisses Rubio as a lightweight.

WASHINGTON After the Veterans Affairs wait-time scandal erupted nearly two years ago, the department’s chief watchdog investigated 73 VA facilities across the country and found scheduling problems in 51 cases. That watchdog — the VA’s inspector general — still has not released reports with the findings of those investigations to Congress or the public. As a result, it’s impossible to tell which medical centers had problems, how serious those problems were or

Research mixed on talcum powder-ovarian cancer link Johnson & Johnson insists products safe Liz Szabo

@LizSzabo USA TODAY

A court case involving the family of an Alabama woman who blamed the talc in baby powder for causing her fatal ovarian cancer raises questions about the product’s safety — especially for feminine hygienic use. A St. Louis jury late Monday ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay the woman’s family $72 mil-

lion in damages. After her cancer diagnosis, Jackie Fox joined dozens of women suing the company for what they said was a failure to inform consumers about the dangers of talc. Johnson & Johnson says its products are safe. Some studies suggest a link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer, but scientists say it’s not clear whether products containing talc can cause the disease. Talcum powder is made from talc, which absorbs moisture well and helps cut down on friction. That makes it useful for keeping skin dry and preventing rashes. The powder was used for many years when diapering babies, but

health concerns led doctors to recommend against its use. Talc is still widely used in other cosmetics.

“Studies of personal use of talcum powder have had mixed results, although there is some suggestion of a possible increase in ovarian cancer risk,” the American Cancer Society says on its website. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, says applying talc to the genital area could be “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” Doctors have examined possible health risks of long-term exposure to natural talc fibers at work, such as talc miners, to determine if they’re at higher risk of lung cancer.

The U.S. National Toxicology Program, an interagency group headquartered at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, has not fully reviewed talc as a possible carcinogen. People concerned about talc can use other products, such as cornstarch-based ones, the American Cancer Society says. “There is no evidence at this time linking cornstarch powders with any form of cancer,” the society says. In the past, talc contained asbestos, proven to cause cancer. All talcum powder used in products for humans has been asbestos-free since the 1970s, the American Cancer Society says.

President Obama said Tuesday he hoped to transfer 35 prisoners already approved for release.

Plan B on Gitmo: Empty, not close it Transferring detainees is White House strategy Gregory Korte USA TODAY

President Obama’s plan to close Guantanamo Bay outright faces stiff political opposition from Congress. But the plan the president outlined Tuesday could all but empty out the military prison by the time he leaves office. The White House says the closure of the facility, by transferring the remaining detainees to a prison somewhere in the United States, is still its ultimate goal. But one often-overlooked part of the closure plan could greatly reduce the number of detainees there. “The big headline is this plan to close Guantanamo, and Congress basically saying no to him,” said Chris Anders, senior legislative counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union. “But there are a lot of provisions — a lot of pieces in the speech and in the plan — WASHINGTON

Trump trumpets support v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Tuesday, Trump carried evangelical Christians over Cruz, the core of the Texas senator’s base. He won Hispanics over his two Latino rivals. He won among every ideological group, every education group, every racial group and both genders. He won among Republicans and independents. The theme that threads through his supporters is concern about the state of the nation. Almost every caucusgoer — 94% — expressed a negative view about the government. Six in 10 described themselves as “angry.” An equal number said they wanted a president “outside politics.” Enter Donald Trump. “So we won the evangelicals,” he declared at a victory rally at a Las Vegas hotel. “We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated. We’re the smartest people; we’re the most loyal people. And you know what I’m happy about? Because I’ve been saying it for a long time: 46% were the Hispanics; 46% — No. 1 with Hispanics.” Looking at the primaries and caucuses ahead, he predicted, “It’s going to be an amazing two months. We might not even need the two months, folks, to be honest.” That will be tested Tuesday in contests from Massachusetts and Vermont to Georgia and Texas. At that point, nearly a third of Republican convention delegates will have been chosen. Two weeks later, in primaries March 15 in Florida, Ohio and elsewhere, nearly two-thirds will be chosen. Then we’ll know how the latest set of questions — Could a single rival defeat Trump in a head-tohead showdown? What are the chances of a contested convention for the first time in four decades? — will get answered.

that go toward the eventual closure of Guantanamo.” The most important piece: Obama said Tuesday he hoped to transfer 35 prisoners already approved for release to other countries — and evaluate 46 more detainees to see whether they, too could be transferred. If the Obama administration determines that most of those remaining detainees are low security risks — and if they can find other countries willing to take them — the prison could hold a fraction of its current 91 detainees by the time Obama leaves office. That would leave only a handful of hard cases subject to indefinite detention, in addition to the 10 now in some phase of being tried, convicted or sentenced by a military commission. And that, in turn, could further put legal, political and diplomatic pressure on Congress. “That is part of our strategy for closing the prison,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest acknowledged Wednesday. The most important of those is Obama’s promise to speed up the work of the Periodic Review Boards, which Obama set up by executive order five years ago.

That process has been slow but effective: Of the 21 detainees evaluated under that system, 18 were deemed by law enforcement, military and intelligence officials to be safe for release or transfer to another country. The plan released Tuesday would speed up those evaluations, completing them by by this fall. If trends continue, only six or seven of the 46 remaining detainees would be ineligible for transfer. And as each one is transferred, the per-detainee cost — now about $4.9 million per year, according to the Pentagon — will only increase. “There’s a good chance that by the end of the summer, the population will be half, and then if you divide it out, that’s $10 million per detainee per year,” Anders said. The White House hopes that those numbers will ultimately convince Congress that it’s not worth the cost to keep the facility open. But there are also hurdles to getting to those numbers, Earnest said. Congress requires the secretary of Defense to personally sign off on each transfer and to notify Congress 30 days before it takes place.

Iranians will go to the polls Friday to vote for members of parliament for the first time since Iranian President Hassan Rouhani won the lifting of international sanctions tied to the nuclear agreement reached in July. The elections will be far from free, casting doubt on whether Rouhani’s supporters will benefit from the deal, as President Obama and others in the West had hoped. The candidate selection process, which is controlled by Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, disqualified many of Rouhani’s supporters, including 50 sitting members of parliament. Rouhani called this week for a high turnout in the election to express hopes for a better future. Khamenei also asked voters to make a strong showing at the polls as a rebuke to the United States and other Western powers. He warned against letting the nuclear deal lead to closer relations with the United States. “Elections mean the Iranian nation stands against the enemies after undergoing different types of pressures, cruel sanctions and malicious propaganda,” Khamenei said, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency. Obama addressed the Iranian people last month in a speech from the White House, saying they have an opportunity to reverse decades of isolation caused by their government’s actions. “Following the nuclear deal, you — especially young Iranians

— have the opportunity to begin building new ties with the world,” Obama said. “We have a rare chance to pursue a new path — a different, better future that delivers progress for both our peoples and the wider world.” Iranian election officials, controlled by Khamenei, disqualified so many of Rouhani’s candidates that it’s “a foregone conclusion” he’ll have fewer lawmakers supporting him in the next parliament, and they will not have anything close to a majority, said Rod Sanjabi, executive director of the Iran Human Right Documentation Center, based in New Haven, Conn. Only 40 of the 340 moderate candidates were approved to run for the 290 seats in parliament. The Guardian Council, which vets candidates for the elections, disqualified nearly 50 sitting members of parliament, according to Caitlin Shayda Pendleton, an analyst for the American Enterprise Institute. The council even disqualified Hassan Khomeini, the grandson of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who founded the Iranian revolution in 1979. The snub prompted sharp words from former president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. “Where did you receive your qualification? Who gave you permission to judge?” Rafsanjani said, according to news agency IRNA. Sanjabi said the Iranian government has tightened control on its people as the nuclear agreement came into force. He said Iran increased the number of prisoner executions last year 41%. The country also issued longer prison terms to political prisoners and human rights activists, he said.

Widow is ‘appalled’ by VA v CONTINUED FROM 1B

lems when we don’t know the full picture.” After repeated inquiries and a Freedom of Information Act request from USA TODAY, the inspector general’s office said it will release the reports “shortly.” Catherine Gromek, a spokeswoman for the office, did not say why the investigative reports were shared only with the VA but suggested the inspector general did not want to disrupt potential disciplinary actions by the VA. That doesn’t explain dozens of cases in which the VA says no discipline was imposed. Acting Inspector General Linda Halliday pledged greater transparency after interim Inspector General Richard Griffin stepped down in July amid criticism of secrecy. USA TODAY found the office had withheld from the public the results of 140 health care investigations, including cases in which veterans were harmed or died. In one case, the inspector general failed to release a report about potentially dangerous prescriptions at a VA hospital in Wisconsin in 2014. VA officials didn’t fix the problem, and five months after the report was completed, veteran Marine Jason Simcakoski, 35, died from a mixture of drugs prescribed at the hospital. The VA didn’t correct the prescribing practices until his death became public last year. “The only way that the VA will do anything is if there’s media attention and public pressure,” his widow, Heather Fluty Simcakoski, said last week. She said she’s “appalled” the wait-time reports still haven’t been released. In December, President Obama signed legislation requiring the VA inspector general to release investigative reports within three days of completion. It’s been months — in some cases possibly more than a year — since the VA wait-time reports were completed.

MARK HENLE, THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC

A Veterans Day parade passes the Carl T. Hayden Veterans Affairs Medical Center on Nov. 11, 2014, in Phoenix.

“VA’s challenges will only fester if they are kept shrouded in secrecy.” Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla.

Gromek refused to say when the reports were finished. According to congressional testimony, all were completed before Dec. 9. Gromek said the new law applies only to “issued” reports that include recommendations based on the findings. “The reports of (wait-time) investigation are not issued and do not make a recommendation or suggest a corrective action,” she said. “We transfer our findings to VA’s Office of Accountability and Review (OAR) for any administrative action they deem appropriate.” She said Halliday has always intended to release the reports, and her office is scrubbing personal information from them.

“This is an extensive, meticulous and time-consuming process,” she said. “Once we are satisfied that we have met these obligations, we will finalize and issue the work product and release it publicly.” Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., who co-authored the legislation requiring release within three days, said that’s “unacceptable.” “There is a bipartisan commitment in Congress to fix problems at the VA, but we need better transparency from the Office of Inspector General,” she said. Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, said that when the inspector general’s office completes a report, it should be released to the public without delay. “VA’s challenges will only fester if they are kept shrouded in secrecy,” he said. Federal law requires the inspector general’s office to independently investigate fraud, waste and mismanagement within the VA and to keep Congress — and therefore the public — “fully and currently informed” about its findings. VA officials asked the inspector general in June 2014 to investi-

gate 111 medical facilities where an audit — conducted after the wait-time scandal at the Phoenix VA — found potential scheduling manipulation. Those facilities, located in 37 states and Puerto Rico, range from small outpatient clinics to large hospitals. In August 2014, the inspector general released a report on the Phoenix facility, where at least 40 veterans died awaiting care. That report noted instances of waittime manipulation the inspector general was finding elsewhere, including cases of VA staffers keeping paper wait lists or inputting the next available appointment dates as “desired” dates so the system would show no wait time. By the time the Phoenix report was released, investigators had found that managers at one VA facility had directed workers to manipulate wait times. The inspector general said the office is still investigating 33 facilities. VA officials said they’ve reviewed 71 of the wait-time reports from investigations by the inspector general’s office. In 12 of the cases, they said, the VA found “individual misconduct warranting discipline or counseling.” In a statement issued by VA spokeswoman Walinda West, the agency said it initiated disciplinary action against 29 employees, three of whom retired or resigned. “As OIG closes out the rest of its investigations, the number may grow,” the statement said. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, has been investigating why the inspector general didn’t release the 2014 report on the Wisconsin VA facility where the Marine died. He said it is “shocking” the IG would withhold reports again. “I’m almost speechless,” Johnson said. “Obviously, Inspector General Halliday is not doing what needed to be done in terms of an inspector general that is transparent.”

Asma’ Jawabreh and Jacob Wirtschafter Special for USA TODAY

HEBRON, WEST BANK Amer Salah was sleeping last May when Israeli forces entered the 14-yearold’s bedroom in the middle of the night. He said he was arrested for throwing stones at vehicles of neighboring Jewish settlers, which he denied, and was jailed with nine other kids in a cell barely 6 feet by 6 feet without fresh air or ample light. “We were not even allowed to see the sun,” he said. Salah, who was released after 10 days in detention in that crowded cell, is one of hundreds of Palestinian youths under the age of 18 who have been jailed for participating in attacks on Israeli Jews. The arrests have multiplied since a spate of stabbings and other assaults last fall over Israel’s continued occupation of the West Bank. Last Thursday, two 14-year-old Palestinian boys stabbed an Israeli soldier to death and wounded a second Israeli man at a supermarket in a Jewish settlement south of Ramallah. Both teens were wounded by armed bystanders. Currently, Israel is holding 420 Palestinians under age 18 for alleged attacks in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, according to Israeli Prison Service statistics. The figures show that the number of imprisoned youths, who are kept separately from adults, increased by more than 60% since violence erupted in October. The youngest is 11-year-old Ali

Israeli soldiers detain 14-year-old Palestinian Ali Hmidat in the West Bank town of Bani Naeem on Sunday. Alqam, who is charged with wounding a security guard in an October knife attack at a Jerusalem light-rail station. Four other prisoners are 12 or 13, according to the prison service. Palestinian minors convicted of throwing stones at military vehicles, the most common charge, generally receive prison terms of two to six months for first offenses. If an Israeli suffers injuries, they can get sentences of up to 15 years in jail. Under Israeli law, Palestinian youths can be held in pretrial detention for one year, although army officers who serve as judges can extend those periods. Most spend around six months in detention awaiting trial, said Gerard Horton, an Australian lawyer with the Ramallah-based Military Court Watch, which monitors the legal system that Israel operates in the West Bank. By contrast, Israeli minors ages 14 and older, including those

living in West Bank settlements, cannot be held in pretrial detention for more than six months. Horton accuses Israeli authorities of mistreating the Palestinian youths. “Under international law and norms, children should only be deprived of their liberty as a measure of last resort and for the shortest appropriate period of time,” he said. Figures released by the Israeli court system after a Freedom of Information request by Military Court Watch show that bail is denied to 70% of Palestinian youths who are detained. “That number is a reverse of what happens with Israeli minors who are in front of the civil court system, where the vast majority are released on bail,” said Tel Aviv civil rights lawyer Nery Ramati, an Israeli. “With young Israeli offenders there are many rehabilitation and probation options, but for the Palestinian minors there are almost none.”

WASHINGTON President Obama said Wednesday that he doesn’t think Senate Republicans will make good on their threat to deny his nominee to the Supreme Court a confirmation hearing. “We’ll see what happens,” he said. “I think the situation may evolve over time.” Obama’s comments came a day after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other top Senate Republicans said he would not give the president’s nominee the usual courtesy of a one-onone meeting. But Obama said the GOP does not seem completely committed to the blockade. “They’re pretty sheepish about it,” he told reporters while meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan in the Oval Office. Obama is in the process of vetting potential nominees to replace Justice Antonin Scalia, who died this month. With the Supreme Court now evenly divided among justices nominated by Democratic and Republican presidents, Senate Republicans have said they won’t consider a nominee until the next president is sworn in next January. “My hope and expectation is that once there is an actual nominee, once this is no longer a hypothetical, that those on the Judiciary Committee recognize that their job is to give this person a review, to show the courtesy of meeting with them. Then they are free to vote whatever their conscience dictates about whether this person is qualified or not,” he said. “The American people are gonna have the ability to gauge whether the person I nominate is well within the mainstream, is a good jurist, is somebody who’s worthy of sitting on the Supreme Court. And I think it will be very difficult for Mr. McConnell to explain if the public concludes that this person is very well qualified, that the Senate should stand in the way simply for political reasons,” Obama said. If Republicans do make good on their threats to block a nominee, Obama warned that the ability of any future president to fill a vacancy would be further deteriorated, and “the credibility of the court itself is diminished because it is seen as an extension of our politics.”

He hopes the flap over Supreme Court hearing will ‘evolve’ once a nominee is chosen and the panel can do its job

IN BRIEF AT LEAST 3 DEAD IN VIRGINIA AS STORMS BLAST EAST COAST

CLEANUP IN FLORIDA

Severe weather pelted the East Coast on Wednesday, killing at least three people in Virginia and raising the two-day death toll to six after the system pounded the Deep South a day earlier. Wednesday’s deaths occurred after a possible tornado hit the small town of Waverly, located about 50 miles south of Richmond. At least three people were killed Tuesday night as strong storms and tornadoes blasted through the southern U.S. The worst of the severe weather was expected to hit eastern portions of Virginia and the Carolinas, according to the Storm Prediction Center. Tornado watches were posted from South Carolina to New Jersey, meaning conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop. Several North Carolina public school systems closed early in advance of the storms, AccuWeather reported. In the Midwest, a snowstorm pounded parts of the central U.S. and created airline havoc on Wednesday, with snow reported from Michigan to Arkansas, including blizzard conditions in Illinois and Indiana. The National Weather Service in Chicago warned of “horrible travel conditions” in northwestern Indiana and east-central Illinois.

EGYPT BLAMES TERRORISM FOR CRASH THAT KILLED 224

The Russian commercial jet that crashed in Egypt’s Sinai peninsula in October was downed by terrorists bent on damaging Egypt’s tourism industry and its relations with Russia, Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi said Wednesday. Egyptian authorities previously rejected Moscow’s findings that blamed a terrorist attack for the MetroJet Flight 9268 crash that killed 224 people aboard the Airbus 321-200. An affiliate of the Is-

lamic State militant group claimed responsibility for the tragedy. — John Bacon HUNGARY WANTS TO HOLD VOTE ON EU MIGRANTS PLAN

Hungary’s prime minister said Wednesday that he wants to hold a national referendum on a key aspect of the European Union’s stalled migrants plan. Viktor Orban said the public should vote on a mandatory redistribution program for migrants and refugees proposed by the EU. He said the question would be:

“Do you want the European Union to prescribe the mandatory settlement of non-Hungarian citizens in Hungary even without the consent of Parliament?” The EU’s resettlement program calls for about 160,000 asylum seekers from the front-line nations of Greece and Italy to be more fairly relocated across the 28-nation bloc, but it has struggled to gain traction amid dissenting nations, particularly in Eastern Europe. The development came as Austria held a summit with Balkan states Wednesday over Europe’s migrant crisis, but Greece was excluded from the talks. — Kim Hjelmgaard SMALL PLANE CRASH IN NEPAL KILLS ALL 23 ABOARD

MONEYLINE BRITISH POUND SLIDES OVER ‘BREXIT’ FEARS The British pound hit a sevenyear low against the dollar Wednesday amid continuing fears about Britain’s membership of the European Union. The pound declined 0.9% to $1.3887 in intraday trading, a swing downward that approaches lows last seen in 2009 during the financial crisis. Driving the move is what appears to be narrowing polls ahead of a June 23 referendum on Britain’s participation in the 28-nation alliance. Prime Minister David Cameron is backing staying in the bloc, but a number of high-profile members of his Conservative Party are not.

BEIJING OVERTAKES NYC AS ‘BILLIONAIRE CAPITAL’ Move over, New York City: Beijing is the new “Billionaire Capital of the World.” The Chinese capital has overtaken the Big Apple as home to the most billionaires — 100 to 95 — according to Hurun, a Shanghai firm that publishes a monthly magazine and releases yearly rankings and research about the world’s richest people and their spending habits. The study, which comes months after reports suggested China now has more billionaires than the United States, highlights how China’s elite are continuing to accrue vast wealth despite a wobbling stock market and cooling economy. NEW HOME SALES TUMBLE ON BIG DROP IN WEST Americans stepped back from buying new homes in January, as purchases plunged sharply in Western states where prices typically are higher. The Commerce Department said Wednesday new-home sales fell 9.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 494,000. Most of the decline stemmed from a 32.1% drop in the West. Sales also slipped in the Midwest, while edging up in the Northeast and South. The pace of buying new homes last month slipped below last year’s sales total of 501,000, a possible sign of mounting price pressures despite low mortgage rates and job gains that have pushed the unemployment rate down to 4.9%.

NEWS MONEY SPORTS Apple’s legal strategy LIFE against FBI a tough sell AUTOS TRAVEL Experts maintain company’s approach isn’t a ‘slam dunk’ Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Apple is launching a two-pronged attack in its fight against the FBI: It’s going to Congress, and it is invoking the First Amendment. But in extending its case to lawmakers and the Constitution, it faces a tough sell, legal experts say. The company will tell a federal judge this week in a legal filing that its standoff with the FBI over unlocking an encrypted iPhone in the San Bernardino shootings last year should be decided by Congress, instead of the courts, according to a source familiar with Apple’s legal strategy who can’t speak publicly on the matter because of its sensitive nature. Lawmakers have been split on the case, with GOP representa-

tives finding allies among some pro-privacy Democrats. Apple CEO Tim Cook, in a memo to staff, has proposed the formation of a government commission to settle the matter. In several polls, the public has sided slightly with the FBI. “The government has picked its turf carefully” around a narrow issue that gives it the best chance to make its case, says Jonathan Zittrain, professor of law and computer science at Harvard University. “It’s a tough lift for Apple because traditional privacy as we know it is not at stake.” Apple will claim the government’s request is a violation of the First Amendment on the grounds it cannot compel speech through rewritten code. In particular, it will argue the Obama administration’s request to help it hack into the iPhone 5C of shooter Syed Rizwan Farook is unwarranted under the 1789 All Writs Act, used by law enforcement to force companies to provide help, Apple lead attorney Theodore Boutrous Jr. told The

Associated Press. As strategies go, the compelled-speech route is not a “slam dunk” for Apple, and the company may be trying to shape an agenda in Congress while blunt-

ing momentum for pro-government legislation that weakens encryption, according to Zittrain. So far, Congress has been reluctant to pass legislation that would force U.S. tech companies to build back doors into encrypted cellphones and other devices. Two-thirds of the more than 600 companies and groups that sell encrypted products are outside the U.S. and not beholden to national law. Apple’s ability to succeed with arguing the First Amendment under that 18th-century law will be tested when a federal magistrate in Brooklyn issues a decision on the case of Jun Feng, a defendant who pleaded guilty in October to a methamphetamine conspiracy. Law enforcement wants access to data on Feng’s iPhone. The stakes are big: Apple faces 11 additional government orders seeking access to suspects’ information, including Feng.

WHY WALL STREET

HATES THIS MAN

CNBC/NBCU VIA GETTY IMAGES

Brad Katsuyama is president, CEO and co-founder of the Investors Exchange and the focus of the book Flash Boys.

Brad Katsuyama and his firm, IEX, want to play in the same league as the New York Stock Exchange, Bats and the Nasdaq

Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

NEW YORK Wall Street’s enemies tend to be limited to lawmakers who have threatened to crack down on them such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, both of whom have called for breaking up the banks. Then there’s Brad Katsuyama, the baby-faced founder of a financial start-up who has vowed to fundamentally change the way stocks are bought and sold — all for the benefit of the little guy. Katsuyama, 38, is the CEO of Investors Exchange, or IEX. He starred in Michael Lewis’ 2014 best-selling book, Flash Boys, about the advantages IEX has drawn the current market syspraise from tem can give to comtraders. some of the very puter-powered After the book came buy-and-hold out, high-speed trading investors it was blamed for growing turbulence, has vowed to market protect, such as among other woes. Critics, in turn, acT. Rowe Price cused Katsuyama of and Southeastern painting the industry in Asset an unfair light in order Management to win customers. He got into a heated debate on CNBC that so transfixed Wall Street that trading volumes dropped, according to the cable news network. The Internet trolling got so bad the father of three deleted his Twitter app from his phone and considered hiring security, he told USA TODAY in an interview. Fast-forward to today and the

CNBC

IEX PROS AND CONS THE PROPOSAL: A stock exchange that delays stock trades by 350 microseconds, or less time than it takes to blink an eye. PROS: Supporters say the ‘speed bump’ will reduce advantages of high-speed, computer-powered traders. They include T. Rowe Price, billionaire Bill Ackman and the Teacher Retirement System of Texas. CONS: Opponents say IEX violates trading rules, such as one that requires exchanges to display all stock prices immediately. They include hedge fund Citadel, NYSE, Hudson River Trading.

battle is heating up again as Katsuyama seeks permission to upgrade IEX from a private trading platform, or “dark pool,” to a registered exchange. Approval would let IEX play in the same league as the New York Stock Exchange, Bats and the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Katsuyama, left, got into a heated debate on CNBC that caused Wall Street trading volumes to drop, the cable news network said.

IEX’s Securities and Exchange Commission application, however, has met with dozens of letters of opposition from large Wall Street institutions. The main difference between IEX and other stock exchanges is a 350-microsecond delay The goal of the delay, which Katsuyama calls a speed bump, is to prevent high-speed traders from cutting the line to pick off the best prices, he says. By slowing the process down a fraction of a second, high-speed traders lose their advantage, Katsuyama says. Opponents argue that IEX’s speed bump will muck up market mechanics because, once the exchange is regulated, brokerages will be required to route their trades there if it is showing the best price, even if that price is distorted by the delay. “Every time they are showing the best price, by law, I have to send my order there whether the price is stale or not,” says Jamil Nazarali with trading behemoth Citadel. “It’s not a speed bump, it’s a pothole,” says Nazarali. IEX has drawn praise, however, from some of the very buyand-hold investors it has vowed to protect, such as T. Rowe Price and Southeastern Asset Management. “We receive larger and higherquality executions (with IEX) compared to most other venues,” Teacher Retirement System of Texas said. The SEC said it will respond to IEX’s application by March 21. If rejected, Katsuyama plans to try again, he said. “We’re not going to give up.”

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

An oil production cut is off the table. So there goes one potential catalyst for higher stock prices right out the window. That raises the stakes for the Federal Reserve’s next policy meeting in mid-March, when the central bank will decide whether to hike short-term interest rates again after raising rates in December for the first time in nearly a decade. In addition to hopes for an oil production freeze or output cut by major producers (which now looks unlikely), the belief that the Fed will hold off on rate hikes has been a key driver of the stock market rebound rally since the recent Feb. 11 low. But now even that hope could

Analysts prove bullish on most security stocks Q: Can I profit from digital security? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Security of our computers, tablets and phones is top of mind. That presents an opportunity for investors. The raging debate over whether Apple should cooperate with the government in the investigation of a mass murder is opening a discussion on the balance of privacy and justice. Businesses and consumers are looking for ways to legally secure their data and are looking to companies with expertise needed to offer encryption but also the ability to provide access when needed. Investors have choice when it comes to security company stocks — and analysts are pretty bullish on most of them. There are nine companies in the broad Russell 3000 index that are in the security software industry, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Nearly all the shares are down this year. But analysts think, on average, the nine software security stocks could be more than 40% higher in 18 months than they are now. Eight of the nine stocks, with the exception of Symantec, are rated a “buy” or “outperform.” Analysts like AVG Technologies best and say the stock could be worth 63% more in 18 months. Analysts are also the most bullish on Vasco Data, Imperva and FireEye.

Audiences are just as impressed as film critics and Oscar pundits with bear attacks and Leonardo DiCaprio eating bison liver. In a poll of more than 1,000 moviegoers by the movie-ticket site Fandango.com for USA TODAY, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s wilderness epic The Revenant was the movie they thought deserved to take home best picture at Sunday’s Oscars ceremony (ABC, 7 p.m. ET/4 PT). It ranked No. 1 with 33% of cinephiles who said they had seen all eight nominated pictures, as well as the nominated acting performances. The two other best-picture front-runners,The Big Short (6%) and Spotlight (2%), didn’t fare as well, placing sixth and eighth respectively. Matt Damon’s box office hit The Martian was second with 24%, and the acclaimed action film Mad Max: Fury Road came in third with 13%. Bridge of Spies (10%), Room (7%) and Brooklyn (5%) round out the list. While The Martian and Mad Max are more crowd-pleasing fare, The Revenant’s noteworthy box office haul — $165.5 million and counting — and DiCaprio’s performance probably won over moviegoers, says Fandango’s Dave Karger. “People who wouldn’t necessarily see a film like this are going out to see it in huge num-

He garnered 58% of moviegoer votes to Damon’s 23%. Steve Jobs’ Michael Fassbender got 9%, The Danish Girl’s Eddie Redmayne snagged 5% and Trumbo’s Bryan Cranston had 4%. “One of the main reasons people will tune in to the ceremony this year is to see Leonardo win,”

Karger says. “Everyone knows he’s going to; everyone believes he deserves it. That’s going to be one of the best moments of the whole night.” While Room star Brie Larson is considered a lock by pundits for the actress Oscar, she came in only third with 13% of the moviegoer vote. Instead, Joy’s Jennifer Lawrence swept the pack with 53%, with Carol’s Cate Blanchett (15%), Brooklyn’s Saoirse Ronan

(11%) and 45 Years’ Charlotte Rampling (7%) all trailing. Moviegoers were voting for star power, Karger says: “There’s so much affection for Jennifer Lawrence.” It has been nearly 40 years since Sylvester Stallone’s first and last Oscar nod, and the Creed star should take supporting actor, according to 30% of the moviegoers. He edges out The Big Short’s Christian Bale (27%) as well as The Revenant’s Tom Hardy (24%). Spotlight’s Mark Ruffalo came in fourth with 14%, while recent BAFTA winner Mark Rylance of Bridge of Spies was fifth with 5%. “The story of Stallone is one of the most fascinating of the season,” Karger says. The Rocky star “returns with arguably the best film of his career and a fantastic performance.” For supporting actress, Kate Winslet of Steve Jobs polled first with 34%, following by Spotlight’s Rachel McAdams (24%), Carol’s Rooney Mara (16%), The Hateful Eight’s Jennifer Jason Leigh (15%) and The Danish Girl’s Alicia Vikander (10%). Winslet has won BAFTA and Golden Globe awards already; plus, she’s popular among moviegoers, Karger says. But Vikander is his and other experts’ pick. “Similarly to Lupita Nyong’o, Alicia will be much more of a household name if she ends up winning Sunday, which could very well happen.”

GIRLS BASKETBALL CITY SHOWDOWN

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Jayhawks resolve to make the most of chances Baylor standout forward Taurean Prince took the question head on and spit out the truth in concise fashion. The question: What makes Kansas so tough to put away? Prince’s answer: “They don’t stop. They just continuously grind it out.” That answer applies to how Kansas plays even within possessions that take a negative turn. One statistic stood out to Baylor coach Scott Drew. The Bears turned 20 offensive rebounds into just 14 points. That’s quite a testament to how Kansas is not giving up easy baskets anywhere on the floor. The deeper Tuesday night’s 66-60 victory at Baylor progressed, the tougher KU’s defense became. Baylor shot 4-of-16 in the final 12:34. The Bears settled for seven three-point shots during that stretch and made just two. Watching opponents taking shots near the hoop against Kansas these days resembles watching someone who really has to go try to hurry to the restroom in a really crowded bar. Opponents look so rushed, but too crowded to find an easy path to points. It has such a different look from when KU’s conference road record stood at 1-3 after losses in Morgantown, W.Va., Stillwater, Okla., and Ames, Iowa. Oklahoma State and Iowa State combined to shoot .509 from the field and .476 from three. In KU’s four road games since then, all victories, TCU, Oklahoma, Kansas State and Baylor have shot a combined .341 overall and .326 from three in front of home crowds. In each game, the home team’s leading scorer was held below his conference scoring average. These days, the home team consistently looks like the rattled one, Kansas the composed one. The Jayhawks make themselves at home everywhere now. How did such a transformation take place? “We noticed watching the tape, on the road when we were down, we were just panicking, and we didn’t do that at home when we were down the same amount, even more sometimes, and we were able to come back,” junior center Landen Lucas said. “And we were like, if we just do the same kind of stuff, stay together like we do at home, we’re able to win those games. Once the Iowa State game passed, we figured that out, and we talked about it, and I think we’ve done a good job changing that.” Good is an understatement. Baylor took an eightpoint lead on Terry Maston’s bucket with 13:48 remaining and scored 13 points the rest of the way, the final three on a meaningless bucket with two seconds left. That’s some pretty serious defense.

FREE STATE HIGH SENIOR HANNAH WALTER (15) GOES IN FOR TWO POINTS as Lawrence High’s Alexis Boyd (42) and Gracie Reinsch close in during a Dec. 18, 2015, game at LHS. The Lions won, 49-48, in the first meeting of the season between the two schools.

Walter fills multiple roles for Firebirds By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High senior guard Hannah Walter hasn’t led her girls basketball team in scoring in any game this season. But ask her teammates and coaches, and there might not be another player more valuable to their team.

Walter, who has spent the past two years in the Firebirds’ varsity rotation, is the definition of the all-important glue player. She makes her teammates better with her help defense. The 5-foot9 Walter can defend against guards or post players, leading the sixth-ranked Firebirds to a 13-6 record heading into the City Showdown

against Lawrence High at 5:30 p.m. Friday at FSHS. On the other side of the court, the offense runs through Walter. Against zone defenses, the Firebirds try to get the ball to Walter, a former point guard, so she can set up her teammates with passes. “She’s a great decisionmaker,” Free State coach

Bryan Duncan said. “She’s strong. She’s a good passer. She can turn around and hit the shot if needed. She can drive it. She’s just smart. “If anything, we tell her she’s too unselfish at times. She should probably look to score more.” Walter, who is averaging Please see WALTER, page 2C

OU announces hiring of KU’s Thibodeaux Sooners. “To have this opportunity is special. It’s home. I know the culture, I know what the expectations are. It’s truly a blessing. When I got into coaching back in 2008, it was always one of my goals to come back home. For it to happen is just remarkable.” The 32-year-old Thibodeaux, who spent one season on Beaty’s staff at Kansas after three seasons with Tulsa, played at OU from 2002-06 and was an All-Big 12 selection during the 2005 season. It was Thibodeaux’s familiarity with and fondness for the program that landed

The University of Oklahoma and head football coach Bob Stoops on Wednesday morning made official the hiring of nowformer Kansas University defensive-line coach Calvin Thibodeaux, the fifth fulltime assistant to leave KU coach David Beaty’s coaching staff this offseason. Like a couple of coaches who left Lawrence before him, Thibodeaux’s departure came down to accepting an opportunity that simply was too good to pass up. “It’s a dream come true,” Thibodeaux said in a news release sent out by the

Self: Three players obvious for All-Big 12 By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

In about a week and a half, Bill Self and nine other Big 12 head basketball coaches will submit their all-conference picks to the league office. “You’ve got three that are givens — Buddy (Hield, — Sports editor Tom Keegan Oklahoma), Perry (Elappears on “The Drive” every Sun- lis, Kansas) and Georges day at 10:30 p.m. on WIBW-TV. (Niang, Iowa State),” Self

said of first-team mention. “The other two ... you could make a case for a lot of guys who could be on that first team. There will be consensus on those three. Everybody (coaches, media) will have different opinions after that,” Self added on his weekly “Hawk Talk” radio show. Hield (25.4 ppg), Niang (19.5) and Ellis (16.4 ppg) are the top three scorers in the

league. Some other players sure to be up for Big 12 honors: Isaiah Taylor, Texas; Taurean Prince, Rico Gathers, Johnathan Motley, Baylor; Monte Morris, Abdel Nader, ISU; Jaysean Paige, Devin Williams, West Virginia; Frank Mason III, Devonté Graham, Wayne Selden Jr., KU; and Isaiah Cousins, Jordan Woodard, Ryan Spangler, OU, to name a bundle.

Mason OK: Mason had a sore neck Wednesday, the result of a hard foul by Baylor’s Motley with 2:14 left in KU’s 66-60 win over the Bears on Tuesday. Mason hit one of two free throws to give the Jayhawks a 58-55 lead. “Bill (Cowgill, trainer) said he is sore and will have Please see HOOPS, page 3C

4.4 points per game, does plenty that doesn’t simply show up in the box score. Any time there is a loose ball, Walter dives over the court or runs into the stands, flinging her body like a rag doll. When the Firebirds go on a run and force a timeout by the opposing team, Walter is usually the first one to clap her hands and celebrate with her teammates. “I just really try to bring energy, and I really just try to be the best teammate I can be,” Walter said. “Whatever that includes, whether it’s bringing so much energy that it pumps everybody else up or if it’s getting a rebound in an important moment. Maybe not necessarily scoring, but that’s what I’m going to do.” Walter is one of the few players in the varsity rotation who has played at each level in the program: freshman/sophomore, junior varsity and varsity. Each year, she’s continued to improve. As a sophomore, in limited varsity action, she was used to bring the ball up the court. Midway through last season, Walter moved into the starting lineup and provided stability on the court. During the summer, she worked on driving the ball and her defense, filling a bigger role. “We’ve been talking to her all year about Hannah just has to be Hannah,” Duncan said. “In our eyes, that means the toughest, hardest-working, most aggressive player in the league. That’s kind of how we bill her. I think that she fits that role and she embraces it.” Now with two point guards — sophomore Cameryn Thomas and senior Caiti Schlesener — Walter can play more off of the ball. That allows her to run around on offense, setting screens and freeing herself for layups. “I feel like I can see the court pretty well and see where my open teammates are,” Walter said. “So if I can make one more pass, instead of shooting it, then I’m definitely going to make that pass.” With her final season winding down, Walter said it’s “definitely a very emotional time.” Heading into her last rivalry game against LHS, Walter is pumped for a chance to avenge the 49-48 loss in December. “Last time didn’t go as planned so definitely excited to just come out and play as hard as we can,” Walter said, “and hopefully be the better team this time.”

KU WR Barbel granted additional season By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

During a stretch in which the Kansas University football program seems to be losing more bodies than it’s bringing in, the Jayhawks picked up a bit of good news Wednesday afternoon. KU officials announced that wide receiver Shakiem Barbel, who transferred to KU from Fresno City College before the 2014 season and has played in 22 games during the past two seasons, including all 12 last year, had been given an additional

him on Stoops’ short list to replace Diron Reynolds, who left Oklahoma for Stanford after just one season on Stoops’ staff. “We’re excited to have Calvin back in our program,” Stoops said in the release. “He’s a longtime Sooner and was an excellent player for us. He’s gained great defensive line experience coming up through the coaching ranks and was being sought after by other programs. He’ll provide great leadership and direction to our players and will make big contributions to our defensive scheme.” Well-liked by the players and coaching staff during his lone season at KU and viewed within the coaching fraternity as an up-and-comer, Thibodeaux said during the 2015 season that his time as a player with the Sooners played a big part in shaping his coaching path, which now has included stops at six schools since 2008. “Most of my coaching philosophy has really been shaped by my experience at the University of Oklahoma and those experiences,” he said pri-

to get it worked on probably with treatment the next three to four days before he’s 100 percent,” Self said. “It’s not anything to keep him from playing. You will not keep him out unless it’s something significant. “When he jerked his head left, he tweaked something in his neck. It wasn’t a head injury. His neck is stiff. They can work on that,” Self added. l

Ellis tough: KU senior Ellis scored 15 points while playing 36 minutes Tuesday, three days after he was kneed in the head by teammate Carlton Bragg Jr., opening a 12-stitch cut at Kansas State. Selden accidentally slugged Ellis in the right eye late in the KSU game. His eye remained watery on Tuesday. “Wayne swung at the ball as hard as a man can swing. It was not just a poke. It was a blow,” Self said. “I’m proud of Perry. He got beat up that game. That would knock most people out. I don’t think I’ve seen him that upset since I’ve been here because he really wanted to be out there down the stretch (of 72-63 win vs. KSU). It means a lot to him. ... I think with Perry, we take for granted he is a rock out there all the time.” l

Mickelson update: Self said senior Hunter Mickelson still is not fully recovered from a highankle sprain he suffered a couple of weeks ago.

year of eligibility by the NCAA. B a r bel started two games in 2015 and Barbel finished the season with 130 yards and one touchdown on 15 receptions. “We are excited to have Shakiem back for another year,” KU coach David Beaty said in a news release. “He is a great teammate and a guy with some quality experience. It will be

or to KU’s game against the Sooners in Lawrence in 2015. “You carry a lot of those thoughts and ideas with you. As a player, when you’re playing at Oklahoma, you’re not really concerned about (your coaching future) but you carry yourself in a manner that, when your time is up, they remember (you) took care of your business on and off the field and possibly a door would open.” Thibodeaux’s departure creates a third vacancy at KU, where Beaty is working to find replacements for running backs coach Reggie Mitchell (Arkansas), special teams coordinator Gary Hyman (Indiana State) and now Thibodeaux. Wide receivers coach Jason Phillips replaced Klint Kubiak, who left to join his father’s staff with the Denver Broncos, and linebackers coach Todd Bradford came in to replace Kevin Kane, who returned to Northern Illinois to become NIU’s defensive coordinator. Beaty is expected to finalize his second staff before the start of spring practices on March 6 and said last week at a rally in Topeka that the list of quality coaches reaching out to Kansas about the openings was “a mile long.”

valuable to our program to have him in our locker room and back out on the field with us.” Barbel is one of the few upperclassmen in a deep and talented returning receiving corps that features sophomoresto-be Jeremiah Booker and Steven Sims Jr., who were among KU’s top play-makers and leading receivers in 2015. KU also returns juniors Tyler Patrick and Darious Crawley, along with sophomore Bobby Hartzog Jr. Incoming freshmen Keegan Brewer and Evan Fairs also figure to add depth and

potential threats to the receiving corps that will be coached in 2016 by new assistant coach Jason Phillips, who replaced Klint Kubiak after Kubiak left for the Denver Broncos, one of five assistants to leave Beaty’s staff this offseason.

Beaty and the Jayhawks will run through 15 practices from March 6 through April 15, with the annual spring game kicking off at 1 p.m. April 9.
