he Kansas University Physics and Engineering Student Organization wanted to build a device “too cool for kids to ignore,” president Austin Feathers said. Their musical Tesla coil shooting out lightning bolts in tune with notes played on an electric keyboard seemed to do the trick. Middle schoolers watching the machine on the KU engineering complex lawn Thursday morning clapped and cheered. More than 3,000 middle and high school students and community members are expected to participate in this year’s KU Engineering Expo — themed “Engineering Around the World!” — which started Thursday

Tobacco ally tops report on lobbyist spending Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — A group affiliated with the tobacco industry spent the most money last year lobbying Kansas state government, followed distantly by an organization that opposed efforts to expand liquor sales in the state. Lobbyists spent a total of $1.74 million in 2015, far eclipsing the nearly $1.2 million in 2014 and the previous record of $1.4 million from 2010, according to an annual

Hesston — An employee armed with a long gun and a handgun went on a shooting spree that left three people dead and injured 12 at a manufacturing plant in Hesston, about 35 miles north of Wichita. Two other people were shot earlier, one in Newton and one on U.S. 81. The suspected gunman later was shot and killed by law enforcement officers. “This is just a horrible incident here,” Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton said. “It’s going to be a lot of sad people before this is all over.” The shooting at Excel Industries, which employs about 1,000 people, was reported shortly after 5 p.m. Thursday. The suspect, a Harvey County resident, was killed between 5:30 and 5:45 p.m., Walton said. Shots at other locations were reported earlier. Gunfire at the plant started just a few hours into the second shift, just after employees had taken their first break. It began near the paint line, employees said.

“What we really like to share with younger kids, and what’s kind of the purpose of PESO, is outreach,” he said. “... to get them asking questions, to get them excited.” Middle schoolers and things for them to do filled classroom after classroom inside the School of Engineering. In one, chemical engineering major and Society of Women Engineers member Lexi Hunter, a junior from O’Fallon, Ill., led youngsters in mixing their own play dough. “Basically we are just showing them that everything you touch in life isn’t necessarily a solid or a liquid,” Hunter said. The play dough, for example, falls into the category of a visco-elastic solid, she said. Science terms aside, she said the take-home point is that materials are in flow and engineering can be used to transform them. Across the hall, students from the National Society of Black Engineers guided middle schoolers in driving Lego robots playing soccer with a Wiffle ball. A future in engineering? Some of the middle schoolers weren’t so sure. “I think it’s cool, but

followed her outside. She hid behind a tree. Jacob Hershberger, 20, said he was working on the mower line about 30 yards from the paint line when he heard three gunshots. At first he thought the workers on the paint line were building something. Then he heard six more shots, and heard someone yell, “Those are gunshots. You need to get out of here.” He said he ran by one person who had been shot in the leg. He and other workers saw a second worker who had been shot in the back. They loaded him onto a pallet and put him in the back of a motorized cart, and drove him out of the plant, urging him to keep his eyes open and stay awake. A law enforcement officer directed them to hide behind a grassy hill until the shooting stopped. The first reports of shots fired came at 5 p.m. near 12th and Meridian in Newton, about 8 miles south of Hesston. A man was shot in the shoulder.

Engineer David Cronin were not available Thursday to comment on other details of the project. The stretch of 19th Street the city plans to rebuild is the southern boundary of KU’s Central District — the site of a $350 million redevelopment project that aims to transform the hillside at 19th and Iowa streets in the next two years. Included in the project are a new student union, integrated science building, residence hall and dining facility, utility plant and parking facilities. Renderings of the project show a multi-modal path, Jayhawk Trail, crossing the intersection of 19th and Iowa streets to connect the campus’ west and central districts.

The half-mile of 19th Street is currently two lanes with no dedicated bike lanes and a sidewalk on the south side of the street. According to 2015 data, 19th Street from Iowa to Naismith was given a pavement condition index of about 44, classifying it as in “fair condition.” The index gives a rating to streets from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). A cruder map of the 2016 index shows the portion of 19th Street remains in fair condition. The street is part of the approximately 145 miles of Lawrence streets, or 17.5 percent, classified as being fair to poor.

to their members asking them to lobby legislators, or groups such as Americans for Prosperity sending mailers to lawmakers’ constituents urging them to contact their legislators about a favored issue. According to the annual report, lobbyists in 2015 spent nearly $610,000 on mass media and roughly $505,000 on communications. The Kansas Association for Responsible Liquor Laws, which opposed efforts to expand sales of liquor, wine and full-strength beer to grocery and convenience

stores, spent $184,824 on that campaign. By comparison, Uncork Kansas, which sought expanded alcohol sales, reported spending $81,716. Under state law, grocery and convenience stores in Kansas can sell only “cereal malt beverages,” or beer with 3.2 percent alcohol. Stronger alcohol can be sold only in the state’s roughly 750 individually owned liquor stores. Last year, the Senate rejected a proposal to expand alcohol sales while approving a bill allowing alcohol to be consumed at special events at the Statehouse.

The Kansas Department of Transportation is closing the northbound lanes from about 34th Street to North 1250 Road for work on the K-10 ramps. The work is part of the South Lawrence Trafficway project. The lanes will close at 10 a.m. Monday and remain closed until mid-April. Traffic will be directed through the work zone surrounding the closed area. According to KDOT, drivers should expect minor delays. The east leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway is expected to be complete in November, KDOT officials have said.

Here, in an email exchange with the JournalWorld, the Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef (also of the successful Torched Goodness creme brulee truck) dishes on everything from his first job in the restaurant business to his favorite Saturday night haunt.

‘Creepy’ comment by son’s fiancee means trouble Dear Annie: My youngest son, “Ian,” is soon to marry the “love of his life.” I haven’t had much of an opportunity to get to know “Tess,” but my wife has spent time with her and really likes her. Around me, however, Tess seems to be reserved and quiet. I asked Ian about her reticence and after some hesitation, he told me that Tess finds me “creepy” and is uncomfortable being around me. I was flabbergasted. I cannot think of one thing I’m doing to make this woman feel this way. I have never touched her or leered at her. I don’t find her particularly attractive, so I cannot imagine that I’m being lascivious without realizing it. I don’t make off-color jokes. I dress conservatively. When I speak

to her, I look her in the eye, not the chest. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I mentioned it to my wife, and she admitted that she overheard Tess and two of her friends laughing about how creepy I am. Her opinion of Tess has been substantially lowered. I asked my other two daughters-in-law whether they thought I was creepy and they were astonished that anyone would think

‘Full House’ reboot just as corny I freely admit that “Full House” was the kind of show I wasn’t watching when I wasn’t watching TV. So I bring nothing to a review of the nowstreaming Netflix nostalgia reboot “Fuller House” except a completely fresh perspective. And an utterly jaundiced eye. I don’t know the backstory of the teens who are now 40-somethings; the children who became “millennials”; or the authority figures who are approaching AARP mode. Or why the studio audienc e whoops and cheers every time they first appear on screen. The most shocking thing about “Fuller House” is that it seems to be playing it straight. And by that I mean corny. It has none of the winking satire of “The Brady Bunch” homages that showed up a few decades ago, some 20 years after that series’ run. The first helping of “Fuller House” commits a crime against the nature of sitcoms. It runs nearly 40 minutes, roughly twice as long as necessary. Anybody serving comfort food this cloying and brain-clotting should exercise portion control. ‘‘Full House” was not the only show of its era to use a relentless laugh track dialed up to obnoxious levels to salute precocious catchphrase gags from the mouths of the barely toddling. But it was emblematic of the genre. Its loud comedy was aimed at an audience with a bottomless appetite for “touching” and “cute” and the need to say “awww” with great frequency. When Larry David famously banished “hugs” and “learning” from “Seinfeld” he must have had “Full House” in mind. It is, in short, the kind of television that used to make people hate television, avoid television and consign the medium to junk culture. Over the past decade and a half, we’ve seen television surpass movies and rival literature for intelligent storytelling and compelling character study. Netflix has been a big part of that television revolution. In bringing us “Fuller House,” Netflix seems to be saying that it’s a full-service provider, confident enough in its smart stuff to indulge in these empty nostalgia calories. Just as a bitter dish makes us savor the sweet, being subjected to something as dreadful as “Fuller House” reminds us of how good television has become. Tonight’s other highlights O Clamoring through catacombs in Colombia on “The Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS). O Jenny confronts her father on “Sleepy Hollow” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14). O Linda needs help with a friend’s domestic situation on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS, TV-PG).

so. They both want to talk to Tess, but I asked them not to. My son said that Tess shared her feelings about me in confidence and he doesn’t want her to know he told me. Should I wait until after the marriage and try to talk to Tess? My other family members say to let it go and that she’ll get to know me better with time, but I’m not so sure. Ian has been dating Tess for nearly three years and she’s had plenty of opportunities to get to know me. Any advice? — Not a Creepy Guy Dear Guy: We don’t know why Tess thinks you are creepy. There may be something about you that reminds her of a less-savory character. Or her definition of “creepy” might be different than yours. It is also possible

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Feb. 26: This year you discover a compulsive quality in at least one area of your life. This driven attitude won’t be long-term, but you could find it to be a little uncomfortable, as you might not understand where it is coming from. If you are single, this behavior could have to do with someone you meet. If you are attached, the two of you have a way with each other that brings you back together. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ You’ll feel free to break past self-imposed boundaries. Tonight: A conversation with a friend is an eye-opener. Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++ An interaction with a friend will point you toward a more unorthodox approach. Tonight: Paint the town red. Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ You might find a friend to be distracting. How you live your life is your call. Tonight: Be naughty and nice. Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++ You might find a work-related situation to be unpredictable and possibly explosive. Tonight: Expect the unexpected. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ If you don’t see the big picture, someone around you will make sure that you do. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.

that Tess is setting the stage for keeping Ian away from his family after the marriage. You need to discuss this openly and your wife has provided the perfect excuse to do so without compromising your son. With other family members present, especially Ian, tell Tess what your wife overheard. Ask her why she thinks you are “creepy” and how the two of you can overcome it in order to have a better relationship. Frankly, we would be wary of any young woman who turns her future fatherin-law into an object of derision with her girlfriends. Tread carefully. — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Coordinated effort A proposed coordinating council is a promising step toward making the local criminal justice system work better for the community.

reating a council to help coordinate local criminal justice efforts is a great idea for Douglas County. County commissioners agreed this week to put the creation of a Douglas County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council on their Wednesday meeting agenda. Establishing this council fits perfectly with the county’s efforts to plan programs and facilities that help reduce recidivism at the jail and provide better options for people with mental health issues. The council would include representatives from Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, county and city government, Douglas County District Court, the district attorney’s office and the county’s law enforcement agencies. Many of those entities were part of a discussion on Wednesday about plans to expand the county jail and create a new mental health crisis intervention center. Commissioner Mike Gaughan pointed to a similar council in Johnson County that has worked to coordinate efforts in a number of areas: addressing the causes of crime, identifying alternatives to incarceration and seeking strategies to reduce the number of inmates who return to jail. The Douglas County council would have similar goals aimed at improving both the county’s criminal justice system and its mental health services. Also on Wednesday county commissioners voted to approach plans for the jail, the crisis center and a new mental health court as a package deal. That decision along with the creation of the new council acknowledges the need to coordinate those efforts and confirms the commission’s commitment to an integrated strategy. Bringing law enforcement, government and mental health professionals to the table gives the county the best chance of finding ways to make the local justice system better not only for those inside the system but for the community as a whole. It’s a sound strategy that county residents should support.

The workmen were assured by residents of North Lawrence today that the safe, which fell out of a building which was washed away in 1903, was prior to that time standing directly above where the new abutment will be placed.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Obama ignoring key U.S. threats Washington — State of the world, Year Eight of Barack Obama: 1. In the South China Sea, on a speck of land of disputed sovereignty far from its borders, China has just installed anti-aircraft batteries and stationed fighter jets. This after China landed planes on an artificial island it created on another disputed island chain (the Spratlys, claimed by the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam). These facilities now function as forward bases for Beijing to challenge seven decades of American naval dominance of the Pacific Rim. “China is clearly militarizing the South China Sea,” the commander of the U.S. Pacific Command told Con-

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

Amid global disarray and American decline, Obama sticks to his cherished concerns: Cuba, Guantanamo … and, of course, climate change.” gress on Tuesday. Its goal? “Hegemony in East Asia.” 2. Syria. Russian intervention has turned the tide of war. Having rescued the Bashar al-Assad regime from collapse, relentless Russian bombing is destroying the rebel stronghold of Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, creating a massive new wave of refugees and demonstrating to the entire Middle East what a Great Power can achieve when it acts seriously. The U.S. response? Repeated pathetic attempts by Secretary of State John Kerry to propitiate Russia (and its ally, Iran) in one collapsed peace conference after another. On Sunday, he stepped out to announce yet

another “provisional agreement in principle” on “a cessation of hostilities” that the CIA director, the defense secretary and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs deem little more than a ruse. 3. Ukraine. Having swallowed Crimea so thoroughly that no one even talks about it anymore, Russia continues to trample with impunity on the Minsk cease-fire agreements. Vladimir Putin is now again stirring the pot, intensifying the fighting, advancing his remorseless campaign to fracture and subordinate the Ukrainian state. Meanwhile, Obama still refuses to send the Ukrainians even defensive weapons. 4. Iran. Last Thursday, Iran received its first shipment of S-300 anti-aircraft batteries from Russia, a major advance in developing immunity to any attack on its nuclear facilities. And it is negotiating an $8 billion arms deal with Russia that includes sophisticated combat aircraft. Like its ballistic missile tests, this conventional weapons shopping spree is a blatant violation of U.N. Security Council prohibitions. It was also a predictable — and predicted — consequence of the Iran nuclear deal that granted Iran $100 billion and normalized its relations with the world. The U.S. response? Words. Unlike gravitational waves,

today’s strategic situation is not hard to discern. Three major have-not powers are seeking to overturn the postCold War status quo: Russia in Eastern Europe, China in East Asia, Iran in the Middle East. All are on the march. To say nothing of the Islamic State, now extending its reach from Afghanistan to West Africa. The international order built over decades by the United States is crumbling. In the face of which, what does Obama do? Go to Cuba. Yes, Cuba. A supreme strategic irrelevance so dear to Obama’s anti-anti-communist heart. Is he at least going to celebrate progress in human rights and democracy — which Obama established last year as a precondition for any presidential visit? Of course not. When has Obama ever held to a red line? Indeed, since Obama began his “historic” normalization with Cuba, the repression has gotten worse. Last month, the regime arrested 1,414 political dissidents, the second-most ever recorded. No matter. Amid global disarray and American decline, Obama sticks to his cherished concerns: Cuba, Guantanamo (about which he gave a rare televised address this week) and, of course, climate change. Obama could not bestir

himself to go to Paris in response to the various jihadi atrocities — sending Kerry instead “to share a big hug with Paris” (as Kerry explained) with James Taylor singing “You’ve Got a Friend” — but he did make an ostentatious threeday visit there for climate change. So why not go to Havana? Sure, the barbarians are at the gates and pushing hard knowing they will enjoy but 11 more months of minimal American resistance. But our passive president genuinely believes that such advances don’t really matter — that these disruptors are so on the wrong side of history, that their reaches for territory, power, victory are so 20th century. Of course, it mattered greatly to the quarter-million slaughtered in Syria and the millions more exiled. It feels all quite real to a dissolving Europe, an expanding China, a rising Iran, a metastasizing jihadism. Not to the visionary Obama, however. He sees far beyond such ephemera. He knows what really matters: climate change, Gitmo and Cuba. With time running out, he wants these to be his legacy. Indeed, they will be. — Charles Krauthammer is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Leavenworth can handle Gitmo prisoners By H. George Frederickson

President Obama is making a final effort to close the prison at the U.S. Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Gov. Sam Brownback, Sen. Pat Roberts, and the entire Kansas congressional delegation are in full-throated opposition to the possible relocation of some of the Guantanamo prisoners to the U. S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth. Roberts reminds us that these men, captured many years ago in the early stages of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, are more than just prisoners of war, they are terrorists and “there is no way to control who the terrorists would attract to our communities.” As a result “everyone in the Frederickson vicinity would live with a target on their back.” And, he points out, Leavenworth “lies right on the Missouri River, providing terrorists with the possibility of covert travel underwater and attempting access to the detention facility.” Besides, “the facilities at Guantanamo are doing a fantastic job of holding these terrorists.” Several months ago, Brownback held a “town hall meeting” in Leavenworth where he announced his opposition to the relocation of prisoners saying, “We’re going to fight this with everything we’ve got.” Most of the audience agreed with him. Aside from standard “not in my back yard” politics and the mongering of fear, what are the facts, and what is the truth about the prisons of Leavenworth?

YOUR TURN Established in 1827, Leavenworth is the first city settled in Kansas, and Fort Leavenworth is the oldest Army post west of Washington, D.C. Leavenworth was the forward destination for much of the early settlement of the American West. What is now the Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth started in 1874. Today there are four federal prisons in Leavenworth and the primary Kansas state prison is in Lansing, next door. All told, the five prisons hold more than 7,000 inmates, the reason Leavenworth is called “prison town.” With a population of about 45,000, there is one inmate for every seven residents of Leavenworth and Lansing. Prisons are by far the primary employers. Many employees are the children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren of prison employees. Some of their work is dangerous; after all, the inmates are criminals. Leavenworth people know how to do prisons. They handled Machine Gun Kelly, several Mafia members including most of the Lucchese crime family, James Earl Ray, Tom Pendergast, Michael Vick. Right now Whitey Bulger is locked up in Leavenworth, as are Nidal Hasan, Hasan Akbar, and Chelsea Manning. No one ever escapes. Then there is the matter of cost. The present estimate is that Fort Leavenworth spends about $78,000 annually for each maximum security inmate. Because of a complete lack of economies of scale it costs $2.7 million annually for each inmate held at Guantanamo. Among Leavenworth prison em-

ployees there is a palpable sense of mission, a collective professionalism, and a shared pride in the quality of their work. They are the best of the “barbed wire bureaucracy.” A mark of their effectiveness can be understood in the juxtaposition of the difficulty of what they do and the fact that we hear so little about it. We only hear about prisons when things go wrong, and things seldom go wrong at Leavenworth. If the remaining Iraq/Afghanistan prisoners (inmates, terrorists) held at Guantanamo are to be relocated, Leavenworth is a good alternative. That is the truth. The question is whether our political leaders can handle the truth. To borrow words and wisdom from the playwright Aaron Sorkin’s stage play and film about Guantanamo, “A Few Good Men”: Col. Jessep (played by Jack Nicholson): “You want answers?” Lt. Kaffee (played by Tom Cruise): “I want the truth!” Col. Jessep: “You can’t handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You … don’t want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. … I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it.” The truth is that the competent and brave people of Leavenworth can handle the Guantanamo prisoners. — H.

In the middle-class neighborhood of Maracana, where the opening and closing ceremony of the Olympics will be held in August, a tiny man carrying a clipboard and a container of anti-larvae powder was flanked by four soldiers in uniform. These are the Zika police, as they have come to be known by locals, one of many health inspection squads roaming Brazil’s

Zika is caused by the Aedes aegypti mosquito and has been linked to cases of microcephaly, a neurological disorder that results in newborns having abnormally small heads and suffering from seizures and impaired brain development. On his inspection of a Maracana apartment block at noon last Friday, Gois said it was already his 29th stop of the day. Once inside, he checked for mosquito eggs in drains, empty bottles, sinks, trash containers and a water tank. The soldiers waited on the street outside. “Do you see this?” Gois said, showing a bottle cap containing

Maybe so, but the situation is serious enough for embattled Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff to order 220,000 soldiers and 46,000 operatives such as Gois onto the streets in a bid to fight an epidemic described by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a public health emergency of international concern.

Three people have died in a series of shootings at three sites near Hesston, Kan., including at a lawn care products factory, authorities said Thursday night. The alleged shooter, an employee of Excel Industries in Hesston, also died after a confrontation with law enforcement at the Excel plant, Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton said. Up to 30 people were hurt, according to various reports, and seven of them were hurt critically, Walton said during a news conference. The shooter was armed with a long gun and a handgun, the sheriff said. Police received the first call shortly before 5 p.m. and the shooter was

One person was shot in the parking lot of the Excel site and the remainder inside the factory, Walton said. There are about four or five crime scenes in Newton, Harvey County, and Excel in Hesston, Walton said. Marty Pierce told the news organization he heard his Excel coworkers yelling “fire” and that he narrowly missed being hit. “They were saying, ‘Fire, fire,’ ” Pierce said. “We didn’t know they were getting shot.” Hesston College nearby was on

lockdown in the wake of the incident, but that has been lifted, Walton said. “This is just a horrible incident that’s happened here ... please bear with us as we try to get through this,” Walton said. “There’s going to be a lot of sad people before this is all over.” Hesston is about 36 miles northwest of Wichita.

The shooting comes less than a week after an Uber driver in the Kalamazoo, Mich., area killed six people.

A record stint in space and Scott Kelly ready for more Due to return Tuesday after more than 11 months in orbit, astronaut says he could last another year

Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

After 334 consecutive days in space, astronaut Scott Kelly is ready for more — a lot more. Kelly has spent more time in orbit on a single mission than any other U.S. astronaut, but he said Thursday he could hold out even longer. He is scheduled to return to Earth on Tuesday, capping his time off the planet at a little more than 11 months. “I could go another year if I had to. It would just depend on what I was doing and if it would

make a difference, although I look forward to getting home next week,” Kelly said during a news conference from the International Space Station, the floating laboratory home to a crew of six. The first thing he’ll do back home in Houston after completing medical tests: “I’m going to go home and jump in my pool,” said Kelly, who celebrated his 52nd birthday Sunday. The medical tests are likely to delay his dip. Kelly and Russian crewmate Mikhail Kornienko are the subjects of extensive studies on how the human body tolerates long missions in space. Such

knowledge is crucial for eventually sending astronauts to Mars. Kelly’s value to science is even higher as half of the only pair of astronaut identical twins. Scott’s twin, Mark, who retired from the astronaut corps in 2011 and kept his feet on the ground during his brother’s latest flight, is undergoing many of the same tests. Though this is Scott Kelly’s second stint on the space station and his fourth space flight overall, space still feels alien, he said. That’s coming from an astronaut who — upon his return — will have tallied 520 days up there over the course of his career.

Rivals take out the knives for Trump Final debate ahead of Super Tuesday gets super rowdy David Jackson USA TODAY

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz lobbed their harshest attacks yet at Donald Trump, trying to slow the celebrity billionaire’s momentum before Super Tuesday’s primaries, which could vault him far ahead in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. The 10th GOP debate at times deteriorated into personal, vindictive bickering. The two U.S. senators ganged up on Trump on a slate of topics — immigration, health care, his family money, his personal finances, and basic fitness for the presidency — during the CNN event in Houston. It was a change of pace for Rubio, who has generally avoided direct conflict with Trump, and it made this the most contentious debate yet. Cruz questioned whether Trump is even a Republican, citing his past support for Democratic policy positions and candidates, including Hillary Clinton. “In 2013 when I was leading the fight against the ‘Gang of Eight’ amnesty bill, where was Donald? He was firing Dennis HOUSTON

Republican presidential candidates, from left, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich participate in a debate at the University of Houston on Thursday. Rodman on ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ ” Cruz said. Rubio also ridiculed Trump for claiming he’s the one that introduced the topic of immigration reform to the 2016 race, blasting him as “only person on this stage that has ever been fined for hiring people to work on your projects

illegally.” Trump fired back that he was the only one on stage who had hired anyone, period. The two remaining candidates, John Kasich and Ben Carson, fought just to get a word in. Kasich asked the moderators to take control of all the bickering. Car-

son at one point, begged for speaking time, noting the debate rules that candidates could respond to attacks. “Can somebody attack me, please?” Rubio referred to Trump’s now-defunct Trump University as a “fake” school: “You know what they got? They got to take a

picture with a cardboard cutout of Donald Trump.” Cruz picked up on this attack and predicted a pending fraud trial brought by students would derail Trump’s campaign later this year. On Trump’s suggestion to put a high tariff on Chinese exports to the United States, Rubio mocked the businessman: “You are going to be starting a trade war against your own ties and your own suits.” Trump’s case against Rubio and Cruz was that they’re both inept politicians, who either melt down under pressure or mislead voters. “You are all talk and no action. This guy’s a choke artist,” he said, referring to Rubio, “and this guy’s a liar” referring to Cruz. The attacks were an effort to dent the commanding position Trump is in after his easy wins in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. The latest delegate count: Trump 82, Cruz 17, Rubio 16, John Kasich 6 and Ben Carson 4. Next week on Super Tuesday, 595 delegates are up for grabs — about half of the 1,237 necessary to win the GOP nomination. CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer asked Trump whether he would release his tax returns as 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney has demanded. Trump said he is routinely audited and “I can’t do it until the audit is finished, obviously.” Cruz said that underscores the need to see the returns, in case there’s fraud.

Expectant mothers in Brazil fear Zika virus Outbreak may be linked to cases of brain defects among newborns

Martin Rogers

@mrogersUSAT USA TODAY Sports RIO DE JANEIRO Maria Vitoria Alves Bezerac is 13 years old, 32 weeks pregnant and living in fear of the Zika virus. While American athletes and potential Olympic Games visitors have expressed nervousness about Zika, an illness spread by mosquitoes, the outbreak in Brazil is especially horrifying for expectant and new mothers. “I am scared,” Bezerac told USA TODAY Sports through a translator outside the Maternidade Escola da UFRJ, Rio’s primary maternity clinic, having traveled that morning from her home in the city’s slum neighborhood of Rocinha. “I heard that babies are being born with serious defects and small brains.” Newborn microcephaly, a neurological disorder that results in babies having abnormally small heads and suffering from seizures and impaired brain development, splits medical opinion as experts disagree on whether the condition is caused by the Zika virus. At the Oswaldo Cruz medical center in Recife, women meet with doctors to have their babies examined and learn whether the cries and screams are brought on by the discomfort of microcephaly. “It is very difficult because every morning, I wake up and I don’t know what to expect,” Jaqueline Vieira says of her 4month-old son, Daniel. “Sometimes he has seizures, sometimes he has spasms, he is always crying. Because of his head and his condition, he is always going to be sick like that.” Next to Vieira is Hilda Venan-

The first time she heard of microcephaly was when she was told Mateus had the condition — just 30 minutes before he was born. She met with Angela Rocha, head of the hospital team that first identified the suspected links between Zika and microcephaly. After further research, the World Health Organization and the Brazilian government see strong evidence connecting the two. After the brief consultation

with Rocha, Hilda turned her mind to the way in which Zika has become an international talking point, especially before the Olympics come to Rio de Janeiro in August. “I would say, ‘Don’t come,’ ” Hilda said, when asked about the decision international visitors will face this summer. “I would not come if I was them. I had Zika when I was three months’ pregnant, and it was horrible. I would not want any women to go through this agony I have to. If they get it when they are pregnant, their baby will have microcephaly.” The crisis exposes Brazil’s vast cultural divide between rich and poor. “(Zika) does not choose certain people,” said Renato Sorriso, a famous samba-dancing street sweeper who performed as part of Rio’s cultural display at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympics in London. “It is everyone’s job to fight against it.” Although mosquitoes can bite

anyone, the poor have fewer resources to prevent the spread of illness and are more likely to live in high-risk areas. Antonia Silvia Peres, Bezerac’s mother, said four members of their family contracted Zika, as well as “15 or 16” of their immediate neighbors. “I was worried sick, thinking, ‘What if (my daughter) gets Zika and complicates her baby’s health?’ ” Peres said. “We did everything to avoid having mosquitoes, but some of our neighbors did not care or do anything about it. In a favela (slum), houses are very close, so it is hard to avoid contact.” Effective repellents are too expensive for many in a country where the average wage is $626 per month, according to the government. Julia Gastaldoni, 34, is pregnant with her second child and explained outside an Ipanema rail station how the situation had left her frustrated and anxious. “I installed nets on my windows, and my doctor recommended I use repellent,” Gastaldoni said. “Other than that, there is not much you can do.”

what he suspected to be mosquito eggs. “These are the things we need to get rid of. There is enough water in them for a mosquito to make a nest. Things like that are everywhere — in the trash, under plants.” The government-backed program to curb Zika’s spread has a tricky task. Though the WHO says there are strong suspicions Zika causes microcephaly and Brazil’s health minister, Marcelo

Castro, says he’s absolutely sure of it, many in Rio are skeptical about whether it necessitates extreme preventive measures. In the large sections of Rio’s landscape covered by favelas — slum areas where homes are built on top of each other — keeping the virus under control is a huge challenge. “There are some places that are hard to visit for my security, or sometimes the residents of the house do not let us in,” Gois said. “That is why we use the help of

U.S. women’s team goalkeeper Hope Solo told SI.com, “If I had to make the choice today, I wouldn’t go (to the Games).” Adriana Alves de Oliveira, a former Miss Brazil who rents out properties in Rio, said she lost an Olympic booking to an American client who canceled travel plans because of Zika. Carla Oliveira, a former Brazil

under-20 national women’s soccer team player, said many of her friends suspended plans to start a family because of the Zika crisis. Back on the streets, Gois continued to go about his business, one home and one treatment at a time. Stopping on a sidewalk, he bent to his knees and carefully tipped his powder into water collected in a crack in the pavement. “I’m doing my best,” he said. “The larvae can get anywhere.” Contributing: Asli Pelit

Rubio-led group seldom meets His office has gotten $100,000 a year for Senate task force Paul Singer USA TODAY

Since March 2013, Sen. Marco Rubio has co-chaired a Senate arms control task force that has met only three times, yet his office has accepted each year a $100,000 reimbursement for the costs of staffing the group. A week before he was named co-chairman of the working group, Rubio was one of 11 Republican senators joining 42 Democrats to vote down a proposal by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., to shut it down because it has a $700,000-ayear budget. The panel provides no public records of its meetings and offers no disclosure of how its money is spent. The panel operates on a bipartisan basis — Dianne Feinstein of California is the Democratic cochairwoman — but the group has not met since Republicans took control of the Senate in January 2015. Records indicate Feinstein’s office received $94,000 in 2013 but nothing since. “Since Marco assumed his role in this group, its leaders have met both formally and informally on national security issues, with most of the work occurring on a staff level,” Rubio spokesman Alex Burgos told USA TODAY. “Marco has engaged on a variety of topics central to the work of this group, including U.S.-Russia arms control, the nuclear deal with Iran and North Korea. His work on these vital national security topics has been aided by the resources provided by this group as well as the information he has obtained from the group’s discussions.” A 2013 Senate resolution said the National Security Working Group “shall serve as a forum for bipartisan discussion of current national security issues ... (and) conduct regular meetings and maintain records of all meetings and activities.” Tom Mentzer, a spokesman for Feinstein, said the group met three times with State Department officials in the previous Congress: once in July 2013 to discuss arms control; once in March 2014 to discuss North Korea; and once in April 2014 to discuss Iran with Secretary of State John Kerry. A meeting planned for October 2013 was scrapped because of a government shutdown. There have been no meetings since April 2014, Mentzer said. WASHINGTON

City facing backlash to crackdown on alcohol abuse Lauren Williams

Special for USA TODAY SYDNEY A crackdown on alcohol abuse is sparking a backlash by defenders of this city’s party-on culture. About 15,000 people protested last weekend against controversial new laws aimed to curb violence and problem drinking, vowing to “fight for their right to party.” While the laws have led to a dramatic decline in alcohol-related assaults, opponents say such “nanny state” actions are hurting small bar owners, tourism and Sydney’s vibrancy. The Australian state of New South Wales introduced the tighter laws in 2014 following the deaths of two teenagers in separate attacks by severely intoxicated men. Their deaths in the Kings Cross neighborhood prompted widespread calls to stop a spiraling wave of alcohol-related violence. “Friday nights used to look like a war zone, with people coming in with heads bashed and vomiting blood,” said Gordian Fulde, director of St. Vincent’s Hospital emergency department. “Injuries that came in after 3 a.m. were just so much worse.” After the laws went into effect, “we don’t see the severely injured, life-threatening cases anymore.” Fulde said the hospital has seen a 25% decrease the past two years in alcohol-related patients between Friday nights and Sunday mornings who are in serious or critical condition. He said statistics are difficult to attribute to one measure, but “anything that stops drinking to excess is a good thing.” State laws now ban the sale of shots and bottled alcohol after 10 p.m. No new customers are allowed into a venue after 1:30 a.m., and no alcohol is served after 3 a.m. in Sydney’s central business

district, Kings Cross and the neighborhoods of Darlinghurst and Surry Hills. New South Wales Premier Mike Baird said the laws are working, claiming a 42% decrease in alcohol-related assaults in the central business district and more than a 60% decrease in Kings Cross. Tyson Koh, a DJ and producer who organized Sunday’s #KeepSydneyOpen protest, blamed the laws for turning this once vibrant city into a cultural desert and making the city unattractive to tourists. “We are all standing together to say we can have a safe, vibrant culture after dark,” Koh said. Sydney residents have reacted with increasing anger. Around a dozen bars — including many iconic music venues — have closed because of declining revenue as a result of the curfews. The Australasian Performing Rights Association said there has been a 40% drop in ticket-sale

The state government imposed a range of restrictions on inner-city venues, including a 1:30 a.m. lockout in February 2014, which many believe has had a negative effect on Sydney’s late night culture.

revenue for live music since the laws were introduced. An Australian music producer who goes by the single name Flume said the laws are “destroying the cultural fabric and economy of the city.” “It’s not just limited to music careers. There’s a complex tapestry of people whose livelihoods are impacted on the closing of late night venues,” Flume wrote in an open letter to the premier posted on Facebook. “The reduction in people out in the city also means other small businesses (restaurants, news agencies, taxis and so many more) are suffering.” Marketing professional and Kings Cross resident, Daisy Johnson, 34, said her neighborhood has become a “dead zone.” “We moved here to escape gentrification. We wanted to live in an area with a vibrant night life and a bit of character, but there is nowhere to go anymore,” she said. Koh and other opponents also claim the laws are geared to help developers and generate casino revenue. News South Wales is second only to Nevada in terms of the number of poker machines per capita. Protesters, dubbing Baird “Casino Mike,” point to a 25% increase in alcohol-related violence around Sydney’s Star City Casino — an area exempt from the new laws. “We need late-night transport to move people in and out of city precincts. We need more visible policing. We’re talking about antiviolence campaigns that target anti-social macho culture. We’re talking about penalizing venues that do the wrong thing, and rewarding those that do the right thing,” he explained. “We also want to stamp out violence entirely, after all we are the ones that will be going out and enjoying safer streets,” he added. “The idea that you can fix violence by just locking people out (of bars) is an outrage.”

The United States submitted a draft resolution Thursday to the U.N. Security Council to impose new sanctions on North Korea following its recent nuclear weapons test and rocket launch. Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said the draft calling for the sanctions is meant to hold North Korea accountable for its actions. “It is a major upgrade and there will be, provided it goes forward, pressure on more points, tougher, more comprehensive, more sectors. It’s breaking new ground in a whole host of ways,” Power said. The draft will be circulated among the 15 council members, and a vote is expected over the weekend. The move comes after the U.S. and China — North Korea’s chief ally — agreed on the draft resolution following more than a month of discussions. — Jane Onyanga-Omara NEVADA’S SANDOVAL NIXES HIGH COURT CONSIDERATION

Deadly tornadoes a first for February Doyle Rice USA TODAY

The tornadoes that killed four people in Virginia on Wednesday were the state’s first deadly February twisters on record. Three people died in the small town of Waverly and a fourth person was killed in Appomattox County, according to local officials. The Waverly tornado was rated an EF-1 with wind speeds estimated at 100 to 110 mph, the National Weather Service said Thursday. The Appomattox tornado was rated an EF-3, with wind speeds estimated at 136 to 165 mph, according to the weather service. This made it the strongest February tornado ever recorded in Virginia. Prior to this year, just 15 tornadoes were recorded since 1950 in the state during the month of February, said meteorologist Harold Brooks of the National Severe Storms Laboratory. All 15 were rated F0 or F1, Brooks said, the two weakest levels of tornado intensity. (Before 2007, the scale was called the Fujita scale. In 2007, it was changed to the “Enhanced Fujita” scale.)

Asks court to dismiss order to break into terrorist’s iPhone Marco della Cava, Jessica Guynn and Jon Swartz USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO With Apple filing a motion Thursday to dismiss the government’s request for help accessing a killer’s iPhone, consider the battle now officially joined. In one corner, U.S. law enforcement officials argue that public safety hangs in the balance if they cannot command tech companies to help with its investigations. In the other, there’s Tim Cook and a

global brand that prides itself on products that are both beautiful and secure. Who will win? And when? Given the far-reaching ramifications of the outcome, legal experts anticipate lots of wrangling with neither party holding an edge. “Apple says this is a matter of the Constitution, and the FBI says it is of national security,” says Larry Downes, a project director at Georgetown Business School. “There are millions of possible courses this can take. This (case) is in the earliest possible stage.” The government’s task will be to make a public case against a company with legendary marketing prowess and a powerful public fan base, Downes said. Apple’s dilemma is trying to do

an era of terrorist alerts and random shootings. The Cupertino, Calif., company’s Thursday motion rejecting an order that it create new software to allow the FBI to break into the iPhone 5c belonging to one of the assailants in the San Bernardino massacre was anticipated — and supported by the tech industry at large. Google and Facebook will be among those filing a joint amicus brief in support of Apple’s position, according to two people familiar with the plans but who weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter. Twitter said it will join that brief. Microsoft said it will also file a brief, though its officials would not comment on whether it would be part of the group.

DURABLE GOODS ORDERS REBOUND IN JANUARY Orders to U.S. companies for long-lasting manufactured goods advanced in January at the strongest pace in 10 months. The Commerce Department says orders for durable goods, items ranging from autos and appliances to steel and machinery, rose 4.9% last month. That represented a rebound from a 4.6% plunge in December.

Apple said that assisting the government to crack into the phones is “in conflict with the First and Fifth Amendments of the United States Constitution,” referring to free speech and the right to avoid self-incrimination. Also, complying with the government order would force it to create “a new ‘GovtOS’ ” — an operating system that has a route around its current operating system’s encryption — as well as an FBI forensics lab on site, Apple said in a statement to reporters. Justice Department spokeswoman Melanie Newman said Thursday its attorneys “are reviewing Apple’s filing and will respond appropriately in court.”

Yahoo is struggling in a media world where profit margins are contracting for many competitors.

Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Investors knew it was going to be an ugly earnings season. But some of the losses are simply obscene. There are 11 companies in the broad Russell 3000 index that have reported staggering net losses in the just-completed calendar year, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Each reported net losses of $4 billion or more — dwarfing even the impressive $1 billion net loss reported Thursday by struggling retailer Sears. The imploding price of oil is the single biggest cause. Of the 11 companies that posted the massive losses, eight are in the energy sector. Highlighting the swiftness of the destruction, eight of the 11 companies were profitable in 2014. Shares of these 11 companies, on average, have lost half their value in the past 12 months. Shares of all but one, General Electric, are down over the past 12 months. More than 90% of the companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 have reported their fourth-quarter results so far, and profit during the quarter dropped 4.5% from the same year-ago period, S&P Global says. It’s the second quarterly drop in profit for the companies. For the year, profits at S&P 500 firms dropped 0.7%. Apache holds the distinction of reporting the biggest net loss of any company in the Russell 3000 index with its deficit totaling a whopping $23 billion. Not only did the energy company lose nearly four times more money than it brought in as revenue last year, $6.4 billion, but it lost dra-

BIGGEST NET LOSSES Russell 3000 companies posting the biggest net losses in 2015: 2015 net loss 52-week stock Company (in billions) % change -43.2% Apache -$23.1 Chesapeake Energy -85.1% -$14.7 Devon Energy -70.0% -$14.5 Freeport-McMoRan -66.7% -$12.2 -13.2% Occidental Petroleum -$7.8 -55.9% Anadarko Petroleum -$6.7 General Electric 12.2% -$6.1 ConocoPhillips -51.3% -$4.4 Denbury Resources -88.3% -$4.4 -29.7% Yahoo -$4.4 Energy XXI -92.7% -$4.1 SOURCES: S&P GLOBAL MARKET INTELLIGENCE, USA TODAY

matically more than the $2.9 billion in 2014. The stock price is down 45% the past 12 months. Analysts expect the company to report another adjusted net loss of $760 million in 2016. Outside of energy, Yahoo is the only information technology company to post an outsized net loss in 2015, to the tune of $4.4 billion. Shares are down 29% over the past 12 months, even though investors expect the media company to make a major change to its structure this year, including its lucrative stake in Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba. Analysts, nonetheless, expect Yahoo to post an adjusted profit of $502 million this year. Some losses are more a function of accounting than the underlying health of the business. The best example is General Electric, which has been aggressively restructuring. GE reported a net loss of $6 billion in 2015, the result of businesses it discontinued or sold. GE reported more than $7.4 billion in net losses from “discontinued operations.” Excluding those units, GE was profitable to the tune of $1.7 billion from continuing operations. Shares are up more than 12% the past 12 months. Analysts expect GE to report adjusted profit of nearly $14 billion in 2016.

Such huge losses add dramatic emphasis to what has been a very difficult earnings season.

Amusement-park operator SeaWorld admitted Thursday that employees have posed as animal-rights activists to spy on critics and that the company will end the practice. The acknowledgment came after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals last year accused San Diego park worker Paul McComb of spying on the organization’s anti-SeaWorld protests. It also comes less than a week after SeaWorld announced a shake-up in its executive ranks. SeaWorld CEO Joel Manby told analysts Thursday the company’s board has “directed management to end the practice in which certain employees pose as animal-rights activists.” He said McComb had been transferred to another department and returned to work after a period of administrative leave.

SeaWorld has ended live orca shows at its San Diego park following regulatory pressure.

“SeaWorld’s latest report confirms not only that the company has employed more than one spy to infiltrate and agitate at PETA but also that it values its spies more highly than the executives who have had their heads chopped off in droves, as at least one of the spies is still working at the company,” PETA said Thursday in a statement. The announcement comes amid a tumultuous financial period for SeaWorld, which saw its stock plunge about 9.25% Thursday to $18.01 as the company struggles to rebrand itself in the wake of a 2013 documentary that damaged its reputation for how it treats marine life and trainers. Manby, who joined the company last year, has approved new exhibits and rides to boost attendance, authorized a marketing campaign and ordered a simplification of pricing. The company’s revenue was flat at $1.37 billion for the year, and net income fell 1.6% to $49.1 million. In the fourth quarter, revenue rose 1% to $267.9 million, compared with the fourth quarter of 2015, and the company lost $11 million, compared with a $25.4 million loss a year earlier.

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

The stock market’s wobbly floor has held up under a barrage of selling early in 2016. Now Wall Street is wondering if the Standard & Poor’s 500 can hurdle higher levels that have acted like price ceilings this year. Since the stock carnage began on the first trading day of the year, the S&P 500 has stalled twice this month at 1947, unable to break the imaginary price barrier. Thursday it made a third run at 1947 and finally topped it, closing up nearly 22 points, or 1.1% to 1951.70. It might seem wonkish to talk about stock price supports and ceilings, but the reality is many traders act on signals sent out by the market’s chart patterns. Not

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

only is 1947 a level that has proved difficult to bust through, the S&P 500’s average price over the past 50 days is around 1945. So breaking out above these key levels would be a bullish signal, at least in the short term, says Mark Arbeter, editor of Arbeter Investments newsletter. “Many traders and hedge funds ... use the 50-day moving average as a kind of marker to be bullish or bearish,” Arbeter wrote. “It’s like an intermediate line in the sand. Above the 50-day average, get bullish; below, stand clear.” If the S&P 500 can stay above 1947, the next line in the sand is 1963, then 2000. Why is 2000 a key level? “It’s where buyers bought the market and are now sitting with losses,” Arbeter wrote. “When you’re on the losing side of a trade, breaking even is the goal.” Thus, people will sell when they recoup their losses.

Analysts see interesting future for tech company Q: Can Hewlett-Packard rise again? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Hewlett-Packard is one of the most storied technology companies in the world. But regaining HP’s former glory has been elusive. Shares of the maker of computers and printers are down 7% this year as investors worry about how the industry slowdown is hurting the company. The PC and printer businesses continue to be a difficult place to find growth. PC sales fell 13% in the first quarter, says Steven Milunovich, analyst at UBS. Shares of Hewlett-Packard are down 70% over the past year — largely the result of the company spinning off its business-services unit as Hewlett Packard Enterprises. Analysts only expect 2% annual long-term growth. On the bright side, HP now has 20% market share in computers, which is the highest ever, Milunovich says. PC sales should also improve in the second half he says. The key is HP is forced to innovate out of necessity. The company announced an innovative new smartphone this week, called the Elite x3, that allows businesspeople to plug into a keyboard, monitor and even a laptop so they can work from anywhere. Analysts think HP is now cheap enough to be interesting, calling for the stock to be worth 30% more in 18 months. Shares closed Thursday down 4% to $10.34.

Sears bemoans Uber, Tesla, Amazon in explaining Q4 loss Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

In a case of the old economy colliding with the new, Sears’ CEO on Thursday cited the advantages upstarts such as Uber, Tesla Motors and Amazon hold over old-line companies like his own in announcing a deeper fourth-quarter loss than a year ago. CEO Edward Lampert invoked the newcomers’ names to raise a shopping list of complaints about perceived disadvantages con-

DANIEL ACKER, BLOOMBERG

Sears reported a loss of $580 million, or $5.44 per share, in the quarter ended Jan. 30.

fronting what was once one of the nation’s iconic retailers, from sales tax collection to a higher minimum wage, which he says makes it difficult to compete against successful online busi-

nesses. Sears, which has both the Sears and Kmart chains, reported a loss of $580 million, or $5.44 per share, in the quarter ended Jan. 30, compared with a loss of $159 million, or $1.50 a share, in the year-ago quarter. The adjusted loss of $1.70 a share was better than analysts had forecast, a loss of $2.62 a share, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Revenue came in at $7.3 billion, down from $8.1 billion in the year-ago quarter, marginally better than expectations. Most of the revenue decline was due to same-store sales falling, though some of it

was attributed to having fewer Sears and Kmart stores. As a result, Sears shares closed 55 cents higher at $17.52 a share, up 3.2%. But aside from the numbers, what captured attention was Lampert’s lengthy lament about the state of the traditional retail industry — and Sears’ place in it. He cited Tesla as being among the newer companies that “rely heavily on continued financing.” By contrast, “companies viewed through a more traditional lens, like Sears Holdings, are met with skepticism even though we have an enormous asset base and a proven history of monetizing

these assets and raising additional capital to fund our obligations and transformation.” Uber, the ride-sharing service, has raised billions even as it takes losses in key markets such as China, Lampert wrote. Yet companies like his own “are held to a very different standard when it comes to profitability and regulation.” Online merchants often don’t have to collect sales taxes, unlike Sears. And “large companies like Sears Holdings have also been met with additional burdens like higher minimum-wage costs,” he said.

Macklemore’s latest is really and truly ‘Unruly’ We were rooting for you, Macklemore. After busting onto the scene in 2012 with Thrift Shop, the Seattle rapper seemed REVIEW poised to become PATRICK more than just a RYAN novelty success. With the help of producer Ryan Lewis, he scored other hits (Can’t Hold Us, Same Love) and picked up four Grammy Awards, including best new artist and rap album (debut The Heist). With the acclaim has also come inevitable backlash, mostly because Macklemore is a white rapper with a pop-leaning sound — which is seen by many as unworthy of winning Grammys over black hip-hop heavyweights Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West. It’s a topic that he has since addressed, telling radio station Hot 97 that, as a white rapper, “you need to know your place in the culture.” But no amount of thoughtful discourse or good intentions can save This Unruly Mess I’ve Made (egEE out of four), the hip-hop duo’s disjointed new album featuring some of the most laughably bad lyrics to come out of any genre in recent memory. The album starts ambitiously enough with Light Tunnels, Macklemore’s six-minute diatribe about his disillusionment with awards shows and celebrity. “I’d rather run out of my 15 minutes than have life pass me by and I forget to live it,” he declares over a triumphant blast of horns and hand claps. Although his musings on fame are hardly insightful (“They

want nipple slips / because they live for clicks / this is economics”), his conversational flow carries the song to its aching finish. From there, the album is a bizarre pastiche of styles and ideas, none of which ever seem to gel. Downtown falls flat as both an Uptown Funk and Sugarhill Gang knockoff, and boom-bap record Buckshot trips over its own clumsy lyrics (“I’mma paint a better world until the cans are empty”). Brad Pitt’s Cousin and Dance Off are self-aggrandizing and silly, and perhaps Macklemore’s best attempts at going viral since Thrift Shop. But there’s no escaping the embarrassment of Let’s Eat, an ode to junk food and getting ripped. Mess works best when Macklemore brings in star power and gets confessional. For those who have lavished praised on his feature The Life of Pablo, it should come

as no surprise that Chance the Rapper delivers yet another album-best verse on the low-key Need to Know. And while the Ed Sheeran-assisted Growing Up, written for Macklemore’s newborn daughter, is weighed down by greeting-card sentimentality, Kevin and St. Ides offer refreshingly unfiltered takes on addiction, recovery and loss. He saves his most politically charged song for last. Though self-important, White Privilege II brings Black Lives Matter and cultural appropriation to the forefront of Macklemore’s music, asking, “We take all we want from black culture, but will we show up for black lives?” It leaves Mess on a meditative note but makes us wonder why he waited 13 tracks to say anything of real substance. Glimmers of his talent do occasionally shine through, but for fans waiting to see Macklemore prove himself as a legitimate force in hip-hop, this album isn’t it.

Prepare your home to remain comfortable as you age LINDA A. DITCH Hometown Lawrence

Are you dealing with that awkward age? No, not adolescence. For those at the tail-end of the baby boom generation (people born between 1946 and 1964), now is the time to consider the future of your home. Do you plan to continue living there, or are you ready to move to a smaller place or different location? Surveys by AARP show most people want to stay in their home and neighborhood as they age. If you’re one of them, how do you make it possible to not only enjoy your home now but also to keep enjoying it as you get older? While your home may work well for you as is, it may become a problem later. Now is a good time to simplify so you don’t spend your retirement years taking care of and

cleaning stuff. Simplifying your accessories will make the upkeep of your home and cleaning of the space much less time consuming. Some ways to simplify include: • Stop using your home as a storage unit. If you’re still storing stuff for your kids, tell them to come and get it, and give them a drop dead date. • Organize the kitchen and bathroom cabinets so the items you use most are easy to access so you avoid climbing stepladders or getting down on your knees to reach something. Also, consider replacing heavy dishes with lighter ones for easier handling. • If the closets are full of projects that you never seem to get around to, it’s time to donate or sell them to free up the space.

Now is also a good time to look at the structure of your home to see if changes need to be made. Start with installing no-step entryways. Then the home or main living areas can be entered without going up a stair or stairway. If ramps are needed, they don’t have to be ugly. Most can be built to fit the home’s décor. Next consider one-story living, where the rooms for eating, sleeping, and bathing are all located on one level, which is usually the first floor for easy accessibility. This may require adding a master bedroom and bath to the main floor, with a laundry space on that level as well. Other remodeling projects to consider include widening doorways and hallways to 32 to 42 inches for easier maneuverability. Improved lighting is a good idea and can be done with extra table and floor lamps, or with additional overhead lighting

One step homeowners can take to prep their homes for retirement is to move items stored in high cabinets or on high shelves. fixtures. Plus, installing lever door handles and rocker light switches are useful both for people with poor hand strength as well as those trying to open doors and turn on lights with their hands full. Your home should reflect who you

are and work for you in the future. Start setting up your home now to help you enjoy your retirement. Linda A. Ditch writes about the Lawrence real estate market for Hometown Lawrence. Contact her at thompson.lindaa@gmail.com

BOYS BASKETBALL CITY SHOWDOWN

At home

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Slightly early league honors Tough to argue with Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self’s opinion that Perry Ellis, Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield and Iowa State’s Georges Niang are the only three locks for All-Big 12 firstteam honors. It’s much tougher to buy Bruce Weber’s opinion that if Kansas wins the Big 12 title — not much of an if at this point — then Ellis deserves conference player of the year, even though Hield is Weber’s pick for national player of the year. It was gracious of Weber to show that sort of love for Ellis in particular and KU in general, but Hield clearly deserves the top individual honor. I vote for the Associated Press All-Big 12 team and this is the time of year that I make my selections in pencil and then wait to see if results from the remaining three games force changes. At this point, my selections: Coach of the Year: Tubby Smith, Texas Tech. Remember when I predicted several weeks ago that with three games remaining Tech and Iowa State would be tied with 8-7 records? You don’t remember? Neither do I. The Red Raiders carry a five-game winning streak into Allen Fieldhouse for a Saturday morning clash. Nobody could have predicted that. Self and Tubby, the two Big 12 coaches who have won national championships, are the two leading candidates for the honor. First team: Hield, Ellis, Niang, Frank Mason, Monte Morris (Iowa State). After watching Mason score 19 points and turn it over just once in 37 minutes in a 66-60 comeback victory at Baylor, Self identified Mason as the team’s MVP. Self is very comfortable talking about where he thinks the junior point guard is falling short, a sure sign of how well the coach thinks he’s playing. Coaches always push for more when they know players can handle it. “There were several possessions when we had bad possessions against Baylor that I don’t think he took charge of the possession,” Self said of Mason. “You know, we had three shot-clock violations, and two of them may have been on him, just because he didn’t — wasn’t aggressive and he passed it to somebody else to go make a play when he should be the one putting his head down and trying to make a play at all times.” Lest he be construed as an ingrate, Self added, “But he’s awful good and certainly he’s great at getting in there, and he was terrific the other night against Baylor, but I do think that he can even be in attack mode a lot more.” Iowa State has been a disappointment, but that’s not on Morris, a terrific point guard who belongs on the first team.

FREE STATE FORWARD CHRISION WILBURN TAKES THE BALL TO THE HOOP against Shawnee Mission West on Tuesday at FSHS. The Firebirds are unbeaten on their home floor going into tonight’s City Showdown game with Lawrence High.

Firebirds unbeaten at home this season By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

There’s no place like home and Free State High’s boys basketball players have used it to their advantage this season. The Firebirds are undefeated on their home court heading into the City Showdown at 7 tonight at FSHS, looking to end a five-game losing streak against Lawrence High. After winning their first eight home games, the Firebirds (14-5, ranked No. 8 in Class 6A) have plenty of pride in their home-court success. “We talk about it a lot and I think it would be big for us if we finished the season undefeated at home,” FSHS senior

point guard Kristian Rawls said. “It just makes (today) even bigger.” The Firebirds credit their home win streak to their fans and daily practices on the court. First-year Free State coach Sam Stroh has helped give their court a nickname, referring to it as “The Cage,” a nod to the LHS home gym’s nickname, “The Jungle.” But of course, it’ll take more than just a home-court advantage to win a rivalry game. After losing the first matchup in December, 7965, the Firebirds are focused on staying strong for all four quarters. In a few losses, including the first City Showdown, the Firebirds have been troubled by bad stretches in the second half.

“I just want to see our guys fight for 32 minutes,” Stroh said. “We didn’t do that the first time we played them and they took it to us in the fourth quarter. I told them, ‘Don’t worry about winning or losing. Just make it a 32-minute fight and let’s get after them.’” The top-ranked Lions (172) secured the top seed in their sub-state bracket with their win over Shawnee Mission East on Tuesday. Even if the outcome doesn’t have a big effect on the postseason scenarios, it still means everything to play their crosstown rivals. Free State will likely be the No. 3 or No. 4 seed in its substate bracket, earning a firstround home game. “You still can’t lose this

game,” LHS senior guard Anthony Harvey said. “This is the game that’s still been circled on the calendar. This is the game you can’t drop. You don’t sleep at night if you lose this one.” The Lions have won 14 of their 15 games since the first City Showdown. They’ve said their loss against SM North on Feb. 16 was a “wake-up call,” and responded with two straight victories. “That was like a kick to the mouth,” Harvey said of the loss. “We took that and that’s motivation. Every practice we sat down as a varsity team and we said we have to practice harder, we have to hold each other more accountable Please see FIREBIRDS, page 3C

Diallo, Bragg impress despite limited minutes By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshmen forwards Cheick Diallo and Carlton Bragg Jr., who entered college as McDonald’s All-Americans ranked Nos. 5 and 21 nationally by Rivals.com, have averaged 6.3 and 7.3 minutes a game respectively in Big 12 play. Bragg has been used in all 15 games for the (24-4, 12-3) Jayhawks, while Diallo has played in all but one league contest. Their conference-only numbers — 3.3 ppg and 1.9 rpg for Bragg and 1.4 ppg and 2.2 rpg for Diallo — won’t put them on any 2015-16 Diaper Dandy awards lists, but have not disappointed coach Bill Self in any way.

“Those guys are going to get the last laugh on everybody. It’s just going to take a little time,” Self said Thursday. “People forget that the reason that the Morris twins started (2008-09 as freshmen) is because we didn’t have anybody else. Marcus had to and Markieff was our first guy off the bench. “People forget that Thomas Robinson averaged eight minutes a game as a freshman. But he had three lottery picks playing in front of him. And then Thomas finished second (for) national Player of the Year,” Self added. “People forget Jeff Withey was the sixth best big man we had when he got here and he’s second in all-time blocked shots in the NCAA Tournament. People

develop at different stages, but for people to say that we don’t play freshmen, that’s the most ridiculous (thing). Other than Kentucky, who started more freshmen than we have?” The only thing that’s held Bragg and Diallo back, Self said, is the fact seniors Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor, junior Landen Lucas and when healthy, senior Hunter Mickelson, have been effective players, too. “On this particular team and this particular case, it’s been better to have experience out there because even though there’s great talent, the inexperience probably would affect us winning games right now,” Self said. “They are working hard. They have great attitudes.

I hate it when people make something more out of it than what it is. It’s just how your team has evolved as the year has gone on. Every team does that.” Diallo and Bragg still are regarded as NBA prospects. Diallo is listed as the 31st pick of this June’s NBA Draft according to ESPN’s Chad Ford, while Bragg is not listed as a first-round possibility. Draftexpress. com has Diallo the first pick of the second round and Bragg not listed at all. “Our attitudes have been great. And that’s hard to be when you have highlyrecruited kids. You can’t keep everybody happy,” Self said. “ You recruit guys Please see HOOPS, page 3C

New York — Baseball made AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE its call on the Chase Utley slide: out. EAST Major League Baseball and the players’ union have banned rolling blocks to break up potential double plays, hoping to prevent a repeat of the takeout by Utley that broke the leg of New York Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada during last year’s playoffs. “From my understanding, we’ve been trying to work on this for a few years now,” UtleyAMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE said at the Los Angeles Dodgers’ camp, “so I don’t think one EAST instance determined everything.” Maybe, but fans may see it another way — the Chase Utley Rule. SOUTH Under the change announced Thursday, a runner must attempt a “bona fide slide,” defined as making contact with the ground ahead of the base, being in position to and trying to reach the base with a hand or foot, trying to remain on the base after the How former slide, and sliding within reach of Jayhawks fared the base without changing his path to initiate contact with a fielder. An umpire can call both the SOUTH runner and batter out for a violation. Baserunners may not elevate or kick a leg above the fielder’s knee or throw his arm or upper body. A runner who makes a permissible slide cannot be charged with interference, even if he makes contact with a fielder. Tejada missed the World Series due to the injury sustained at Dodger Stadium in the NL Division Series. Utley was suspended for two games, a penalty still under appeal.

Grand jury to hear Manziel case Dallas — Dallas police said Thursday they have referred their domestic violence case against Johnny Manziel to a grand jury, which will consider whether to charge the troubled Cleveland Browns quarterback on allegations that he attacked his ex-girlfriend. Police released a statement saying they have asked the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office to present a misdemeanor assault case to the local grand jury. Such a charge carries a maximum punishment of one year in jail and a $4,000 fine. Manziel’s agent and marketing agency have both dropped him, and the Browns have indicated they will release Manziel as early as March 9. The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner and Texas A&M standout was accused by ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley of hitting her and threatening to kill her during a night out on Jan. 30.

in practice and we just don’t want this ride to end.” One of the main focuses for the Lions is racing out to a quick start. In their past three games against Free State, they’ve trailed after the first quarter. “A lot of that game is

surviving the first four minutes emotionally, keeping your energy and keeping your composure,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said. “Then being able to settle in as a team and play good basketball.” For the Firebirds, they know they are a different team than when they played in the first City Showdown and they are hopeful for a different result. “At the beginning of the

year, neither of our teams were to our full potential,” FSHS senior Hunter Gudde said. “The game at the end of the season is really what defines us as a team. I think this game is really going to see who is the better team. I think we’re prepared and ready to go.” Said Rawls: “I’m really excited. Last time was my first time and I think I was a little nervous. This time I’m really just ready to play.”

but focused for state. With so many returning state qualifiers, they know what to expect out of the process, and where to eat to cut weight. “Last weekend wasn’t very fun because I didn’t do it very well,” FSHS senior 138-pounder Sid Miller said of cutting weight. “I ate a little too much, a little too late. But this weekend, I’m going to do it differently and hopefully I’ll feel a little better.” Lawrence High qualified nine wrestlers for the state tournament, including regional champions sophomore Carson Jumping Eagle (126 pounds), sophomore Ja’Melle Dye (132), junior Tucker Wilson (160) and senior Alan Clothier (182). A team full of young wrestlers, the Lions are gaining confidence each week, especially after placing second at their home regional. “We kept building on the momentum all throughout regionals,” LHS coach Pat Naughton said. “When they get in that habit, things start to click and all of sudden it’s just like magic, everyone catches a little bit of fire.

With the state tournament, that’s all you need.” For Clothier, who has focused on performing well at state all season, it’s a chance to avenge a loss in the state semifinals from last season. He entered state with an undefeated record, but lost by a one-point decision on his way to third place. “It’s getting a little scary,” said Clothier, who owns a 29-2 record this season. “Last year, I never thought that I was going to lose. I thought I was going to make it to the finals again. A bump in the road. I just don’t want that to happen again this year. I’m kind of nervous.” But in some ways, the loss has motivated Clothier to work his way to his second state championship. “It definitely made him hungrier,” Naughton said. “That’s the one thing about him. It doesn’t matter, Alan can be playing cards or he can be playing checkers, and if he loses, it’s like, ‘No, we’re playing again. We’re playing until I beat you three times in a row.’ That’s the way he is.”

Austin, Texas — Chelsie Miller etched her name in the KU record books Thursday in a fifth event at the Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championships by lowering the school mark in the 500yard freestyle and garnered her third NCAA ‘B’ cut, before finishing third in the event during finals. Kansas ended the second day of competition at Jamail Swimming Center in third place with 200.5 points, behind Texas (376) and Iowa State (203.5) and ahead of West Virginia (171) and TCU (150). “It was really fun,” Miller said. “It’s not something I usually swim so it was nice to go out there without any expectations. And then to go that time

was pretty surprising. It feels pretty good to have another school record, it’s definitely cool to see my name up there. It’s fun to be able to improve the team records and allows us to have higher goals to break them.” The Houston, Texas native now has her name listed in the record book five times — the other events include the 1,650yard freestyle, 200-yard butterfly, and the 200and 400-yard individual medleys Junior Pia Pavlic had a lifetime performance of her own in the 200-yard individual medley in the ‘A’ finals with a swim of 2:01.69. Freshman Haley Bishop represented KU in the ‘A’ finals with a swim of 23.32, placing seventh.

After a loss by tiebreaker in the regional semifinals, Free State High senior wrestler Cameron Shanks is more than motivated for the Class 6A state tournament. Shanks, along with six of his teammates, will compete at state, which begins at 10 a.m. today at Hartman Arena in Park City. “It definitely gives you an extra push,” said Shanks, who took third at regionals. “And being a senior also gives motivation because it’s the last time you ever get to do this sport. I’m going to be giving it everything I have to get up on that podium and accomplish my goals for the season.” The Firebirds finished third at their regional in Wichita, led by champions Isaiah Jacobs (126 pounds), Tate Steele (132) and Gage Foster (170). Facing some of the top teams in the state in their regional, including Manhattan and Washburn Rural, cost the Firebirds a chance to qualify more wrestlers for state. But it was a chance to face strong competition. “We actually enjoyed being in the tougher regional because we saw kids that are in the upper echelon of kids in the state,” FSHS coach Mike Gillman said. “That’s the kids that we need to beat. For us to place third at that regional, I think, was a huge credit to our success for the season.” The Firebirds, who have a goal of finishing in the top 10 at state, only have two wrestlers — Foster and freshman 182-pounder Devin Beers — who haven’t qualified for state in the past. At practice this week, the Firebirds were relaxed

and sometimes it doesn’t go exactly as scripted because if it went exactly as scripted, then all 13 guys would be lottery picks and play in the league. So much of it is timing. But I’m real pleased and proud of how our guys have hung in there and been really, really, really together and unselfish for the most part and been there when their number is called.” Of KU’s other scholarship freshman, guard Lagerald Vick, who is not in the regular rotation, Self said: “Lagerald hasn’t gotten much clock at all, but Lagerald is going to be a really good player. But I can’t say that he’s better than Svi (Mykhailiuk) or Brannen (Greene). But potentially, he’s got a chance to be really good, and Cheick and Carlton, I think are going to be great. But the thing that has been important for us is this team also has to win. It’s such a balancing deal because you want to do what’s best for the kids, but on

Caucus conflict: KU coach Self was asked about an online petition at change.org trying to change the game time of the KU-Iowa State game (3 p.m., March 5) because it conflicts with the Kansas Caucus. “I am not aware of that, but I don’t think that ESPN is going to say, ‘Let’s do this for those reasons,’” Self said. “I think there’s always conflict with something going on, regardless of when you schedule it. I guess we could schedule a game and then NASCAR could have something, too, or we could schedule a game and the Chiefs could be in an NFL playoff game. There’s a lot of things, or there’s something going on with the theater or whatever. Certainly that’s very important what’s going on from obviously a political standpoint, but I can’t see that will get moved. I think it’s fascinating, everything that’s going on (politically). It’s disappointing it’s the same time, I guess. But I think that we’ll both live and it won’t be too negative for either one of us.”

the flipside, what’s best for the kids is playing the guys that are the best for our team.” Junior Lucas said the freshmen have been great at practice. “They push us. When the older guys want to get complacent and a little lazy they are always going hard,” Lucas said. “It keeps us on our toes, keeps us working hard. It’s great. We’re going to need them in a game so they just have to stay positive because there’s going to be a time where maybe matchups or foul trouble happens and they can come in and provide a boost. They’ve kept a great attitude and it’s really something I admire.” It’s only natural players want significant minutes. “Myself I’ve gone through moments where I felt the same way. I know it’s even bigger for them because of the expectations they came in with. I can imagine it being hard, but we’re part of something that’s so big,” Lucas said. “Trying to keep them focused that even if they come in and make one small play, if it’s helping a team that’s doing some big things, that’s

Jarrod Dyson, the speedy Kansas City Royals outfielder who scored the go-ahead run in the final game of Kansas City’s World Series victory last fall, grew up in McComb. “I’ve got a street named after myself,” Dyson said “There’s no speed limit. No speed limit on me. Why there going to be one on my road?” Dyson, whose Twitter account is mrzoombiya, has stolen 146 bases in 169 attempts in the major leagues, including at least 26 in each of the past four years. He was 3 for 3 in last year’s postseason. Dyson said his hometown also wanted a parade “with me solo” after the Royals beat the New York Mets to claim their first title since 1985. He declined “because I’m a shy kid,” instead serving as grand marshal for McComb’s Christmas parade. “Me and Santa threw a lot of candy out,” Dyson said. “I enjoyed that, seeing the kids get their candy, enjoying the moment. The World Series does change your life. A lot more people get to see you more on the big stage. A lot more people reach out to congratulate you. A lot of people want to do things with you.” Dyson has been a reserve outfielder for the Royals during the past four seasons, never ap-

he’s got that too. He’s completely fearless.” Dyson could start in center at times, with Lorenzo Cain shifting to right. At other times, Dyson could be in right. “I feel like I can play anywhere in the outfield,” Dyson said. “I don’t really have a particular spot I care most about.” Notes: Hall of Famer George Brett and Mike Sweeney, who combined for 4,694 hits in the major leagues, are in uniform as spring training instructors. ... 2B Omar Infante, who had surgery in November to shave a right elbow bone spur, has been limited in throwing drills and likely will be held out of early spring training games.

ROYALS’ FIRST BASEMAN ERIC HOSMER KISSES A REPLICA WORLD SERIES TROPHY as he poses for a photographer during photo day at spring training baseball Thursday in Surprise, Ariz.

Royals agree to terms with 11 players; 6 still unsigned Surprise, Ariz. (ap) — The Kansas City Royals have agreed to terms with 11 players, including backup infielders Cheslor Cuthbert and Raul Mondesi Jr., leaving six unsigned players in spring training. The World Series champions announced the moves Thursday. Cuthbert will be paid

at a $509,425 rate while in the major leagues this season. Relief pitcher Scott Alexander will make $508,800, and hardthrowing pitcher Miguel Almonte and speedy utility man Terrance Gore will make $508,500 apiece. Mondesi will make $507,500, along with outfielders Jorge Bonifacio, Brett Eibner, Jose Marti-

nez and Bubba Starling, and pitchers Alec Mills and Kyle Zimmer — one of the club’s top prospects. The remaining unsigned players are lefthanders Brian Flynn and Matt Strahm, infielders Christian Colon and Ramon Torres and outfielders Reymond Fuentes and Paulo Orlando.
