Oread group again contests city’s demands Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel is part of the group that developed The Oread hotel.

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Another deadline has passed in the dispute over how developers have used a special taxing district at The Oread hotel, and city officials again saw their demands for

more information from the development group go unmet. Oread Inn, the development group behind The Oread hotel, responded in writing to the city Monday, again contesting the city’s demand that the group hand over financial documents

from one of its tenants, Oread Wholesale L.C. The dispute centers on whether the development group for The Oread inflated sales tax totals at the property in an effort to receive larger sales tax rebates from the city as part of a special

According to the 2014-2024 KU Campus Master Plan, the area will eventually be home to new science buildings, an open space tentatively dubbed Stouffer Green and some apartments for single students. The unit pictured was located just to the southwest of Hilltop Child Development Center, 1605 Irving Hill Road.

KANSAS LEGISLATURE

Report calls for overhauling school finance “

tive committee voted Tuesday, largely along party lines, to issue a final report that calls for revamping the way Kansas funds public schools, focusing more on student outcomes and tightening state controls over how districts can issue bonds. Although it is not a formal bill, the document will likely serve as a guideline as lawmakers try to craft a new school funding system to replace the one they repealed last year. Kansas spends more than $3.5 billion a year funding public schools, by far the largest single category of state spending. The report by the Special Committee on K-12 Student Success makes only general comments about how a new

— Rep. Ed Trimmer, D-Winfield funding formula should be organized, saying it should “focus on each individual student” and “include accountability and reporting measures to ensure aid is being distributed according to the needs of each individual student.” But it does suggest a complete overhaul of the annual assessments the state administers to measure how well students are performing in math, English and other subjects by scrapping the tests administered by Kansas University’s Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation, and instead hiring a third-party ven-

dor from outside Kansas to develop and administer tests. And for high school students, it calls for the state to pay for every student to take the ACT college entrance exam. Rep. Ed Trimmer, D-Winfield, said doing that might easily violate the Kansas Constitution. “We’re talking about the State Department of Education and the state school board, which is an elected body with the constitutional task of governing education in the state of Kansas,” he said. “And we’re taking away from them the ability to create a

Kansas assessment for Kansas students created by Kansans.” But Sen. Steve Abrams, RArkansas City, said the state exams provide little useful information to policymakers because the tests change so frequently, it’s difficult to compare scores from one year to the next. “Consequently we’ve got several years that we go through, it becomes difficult to get a longitudinal trend because we aren’t able to compare data from the previous year to this year,” Abrams said. Deputy Education Commissioner Brad Neuenswander noted after the meeting that it was only a few years ago that the State Board of Education voted to contract with KU’s CETE, specifically because of opposition in the Legislature to

City commissioners unanimously approved a contract Tuesday for Lawrence’s new city manager, Tom Markus, agreeing to pay him approximately $205,000 total in salary and other compensation during his first year, plus benefits. The commission selected Markus on Dec. 18, and after about a month of negotiations, publicly named him Jan. 14 during a special meeting at City Hall. Tuesday’s action formalizes the hire. Markus, 64, is currently the city man- Markus ager of Iowa City. He has more than 40 years of experience in municipal government. “It’s a very good agreement,” Mayor Mike Amyx said Tuesday. “We look forward to Mr. Markus becoming our new city manager.” Commissioners approved the contract without much discussion. It requires the city to pay Markus $190,000 in base salary. He will also receive another $15,000 that will go into a deferred compensation fund in Markus’ first year. After his first year, the deferred pay will increase to whatever is the maximum amount of deferred payment allowed by law. Those maximums change annually. According to the Internal Revenue Service, the maximum amount of deferred compensation for 2015 and 2016 is $18,000, plus another $6,000 for those 50 and older.

working with a multistate consortium called Smarter Balanced. “A couple of years ago, they didn’t want us working with outside (groups) because of data (security concerns), because it wasn’t Kansas-designed,” he said. In addition, the report calls for requiring school districts to seek approval from a special legislative committee before they can be eligible for receiving state aid for bond and interest payments. Sen. Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, called that a direct assault on the concept of local control of public schools. “If we are going to somehow try to intervene, with the Legislature determining what a local school district should be doing, or for that matter what local voters should be voting on, then I think that flies in the face of any sort of meaningful local control,” he said. But Abrams defended that part of the report,

saying the Legislature has a direct interest in how much debt is issued by school districts. “The problem is that the local districts come and want state dollars,” he said. “And because they want state dollars, I am suggesting that indeed it is the responsibility of the Legislature.” The report also suggests overhauling a category of funding known as “at-risk weighting,” extra money districts receive based on poverty rates, as measured by the number of children eligible to receive free meals. It suggests using other measures to count students who are at risk of failing or dropping out, such as test scores and classroom grades. Hensley tried unsuccessfully to amend that provision, arguing that research shows poverty is a key indicator of a student’s likelihood of having trouble in school.

Merit pay The report makes no specific mention of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s suggestion for including merit pay for teachers, which

Jack then traveled to California on the train with his parents and sisters to visit his mother’s parents, Rex and Ora Nason. While in California, he obtained a job at Lockheed Aircraft as a machinist. Jack’s parents and sisters returned to Nebraska. In October of 1942, Jack joined the United States Army Air Corp and was shipped overseas in July of 1944. He took part in the Northern France Campaign and while in the service, Jack was awarded the EuropeanAfrican-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, the American Theater Service Medal and the World War II Victory Medal. Jack received Airplane Mechanic training in Lincoln, Nebraska, and Propeller Specialist training at Chanute Field near Rantoul, Illinois. When the war ended, Jack returned to the United States and was honorably discharged in November of 1945. Jack then attended Doane College in Crete, Nebraska, for two years.

he called for in his State of the State address last week. But it does call for forming a special committee to look more in depth at a variety of issues, including teacher pay and special education, among others. Meanwhile, the House Education Committee held a separate informational briefing Tuesday on the subject of merit pay. Hensley submitted a separate minority report that took issue with how the majority interpreted some of the information and testimony it received, and criticizing the official report for discussing topics that were beyond the special committee’s charge. Brownback has called on lawmakers to write a

new funding formula this year, but some legislative leaders have said it could take at least two sessions to complete the process. “It’s a huge, huge project, and whether we get to it or not, we’ll be working towards it,” House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, said after the meeting. Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, agreed, saying, “I’m not going to force that to happen. We need a lot of preparatory time, we need a lot of discussion, we need to be looking at these reports ... We’re also waiting on some court decisions.”

Lawrence police have identified the 32-year-old Lawrence man who was shot during an altercation Sunday morning outside a local sports bar. Lee Simmons Jr. was shot while attempting to break up a fight shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday outside Playerz Sports Bar, 1910 Haskell Ave., Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley said in a news release. Simmons was still being treated at a Kansas City area hospital Tuesday morning, McKinley said. He was listed in stable condition Sunday. Lawrence police continue to investigate the shooting but have not made an arrest, McKinley said. Police ask anyone with information to call the Lawrence Police Department at 785-832-7509 or CrimeStoppers at 785843-8477.

Hearing in robbery case continued The preliminary hearing for one of two men accused of a violent armed robbery in June has been continued to next month. Alex Caprice Sanders, 19, and Deshane Keonte Rayton, 21, are currently being held on $200,000 bond in the Douglas County Jail, each on charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery and possession of a gun by a convicted felon. Both men are accused of forcing their way by gunpoint into an Alabama Street apartment in late June, injuring the woman living there and stealing drugs and personal belongings. Tuesday morning Sanders appeared in Douglas County District Court, where his attorney, Jim Rumsey, asked for the preliminary hearing to be pushed back to allow more time to work on the case. Douglas County Judge Peggy Kittel granted Rumsey’s request, scheduling a new preliminary hearing for Sanders at 9:30 a.m. Feb. 9. Rayton is not scheduled to appear in court until a status hearing on April 1.

TRAFFIC ON I-70 NEAR THE IOWA STREET INTERCHANGE ENCOUNTERS LIGHT SNOW AND SOME SLICK SPOTS after freezing drizzle Tuesday afternoon.

Freezing fog possible this morning Ice leads to rise in accidents Tuesday; more snow forecast

By Elvyn Jones and Conrad Swanson Twitter: @LJWorld

Motorists heading out on their morning commutes today should be alert to possible new hazards after Tuesday’s freezing rain and light snow led to numerous accidents in Lawrence and Douglas County. Bryan Baerg, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Topeka, said there was a possibility of fog and freezing fog this morning in the Lawrence-Topeka area. On the positive side, the snow that followed midday Tuesday’s freezing rain had moved out of the area. Baerg said. Today is expected to be dry but cold before another round of snow moves in early Thursday morning.

LAWRENCE PUBLIC WORKS EMPLOYEE HOWARD CLARK prepares a salt and sand mixture to apply to city streets Tuesday morning. Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek cautioned drivers to go slow and give themselves extra time on morning commutes. “County and KDOT road crews have done a good job, but at this point roads are still slick and there will be refreezing overnight,” she said. Dymacek said she was not aware of any serious

injuries from the numerous accidents that started popping up once the freezing drizzle began at about noon Tuesday. Accidents were reported all over the county, but Kansas Highway 10, Highway 56 and North 1800 Road, commonly called the Farmer’s Turnpike, saw multiple incidents, she said. “We’ve seen several

accidents and slideoffs due to the freezing rain and mist,” she said. “There were one or two with some minor injuries, nothing life threatening, but most were without injury.” Baerg said the temperatures in Lawrence should start the morning in the low teens before warming to the low 30s in the afternoon. More snow is expected to pass through the area starting shortly after midnight Thursday and continuing into the afternoon, Baerg said. “We may see 1 to 2 inches in the TopekaLawrence area,” he said. “Central Kansas will see more snow with 2 to 4 inches possible. We won’t see the freezing rain. Tuesday’s ice was kind of a unique event.”

The preliminary hearing for a 33-year-old former Lawrence public school paraeducator accused of having unlawful sexual relations with a student has been continued to March. The woman, who is from Baldwin City, was arrested Dec. 11 and faces one felony count each of unlawful sexual relations, sexual exploitation of a child and promoting obscenity to minors. She appeared in court Tuesday

morning, and her attorney, Branden Smith, requested the continuance and several changes to the conditions of her bond, which was set at $40,000. The woman was hired by the Lawrence public school district in late 2014. According to a criminal affidavit filed in Douglas County District Court, the woman worked as a paraprofessional at the Douglas County Juvenile Detention Center’s Day School.

SLT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Mayor Mike Amyx said he asked for the delay so that he would have more time to review the document. I certainly don’t expect commissioners to change their vote from last week and now allow the approximately 250,000-square-foot shopping center at the southeast corner of Iowa Street and the SLT. But it will be interesting to see if commissioners seek to massage the message they are sending by denying the project. As I wrote last week, I was not surprised commissioners voted to deny the shopping center proposal. I was surprised at one of the key reasons they used to deny the project: that the city is not ready for development south of the South Lawrence Trafficway. I thought that was a surprising position to take given that the property in question has been part of the city limits since 1979, and that the City Commission just two years ago approved a plan for the area that stated the property was suitable for

auto-related commercial development. People who invest millions of dollars to develop in this community look for signals from the City Commission. Having a piece of property in the city limits is a signal that it is ready for development. Having a planning document that spells out a commercial use for a piece of property is a signal that it is ready for development. Combine those two, and developers view it as a green light. Last week’s denial of the plan has shifted the light to yellow. Commissioners said they didn’t want a shopping center at that site. People can argue about whether that is a good decision, but it is a decision consistent with the city’s plan. But as part of last week’s denial, commissioners ended up sending another signal. At least three commissioners have said they think the Revised Southern Development Plan — the plan approved two years ago that says the property should develop as an autorelated commercial center — needs to be revisited. That’s sending a signal that the city is no longer sure any type of commercial development — or perhaps any type

of development at all — should occur on the property just south of one of the larger intersections in all of Douglas County. Again, the light shifts to yellow, and the question is whether it will turn to a full red. Simply put, commissioners must decide whether an auto-related commercial use would be appropriate for the intersection. That could be something like a new car dealership, or a complex of hotels to attract travelers off the highway, or a large fueling center, or some combination of all of the above. Again, you could argue why the city would rather have that type of development at the intersection than a shopping center, but it doesn’t seem like that argument will go anywhere with this commission. That makes the more interesting argument one of whether the intersection should have any commercial development. Commissioners were scheduled to discuss the subject Tuesday, but now have delayed the discussion for a week. Commissioners will be asked to approve a legal document called a “findings of fact.” It basically is a document written by a city attorney that spells out why com-

missioners denied the project last week. As you may guess, it is usually not a good sign when you have to ask an attorney to write a document explaining why you did something. It is a mechanism used to put the city on a good legal footing in case the city gets sued over the denial. The document lists several reasons for denial, but it is interesting to note that it does not state that the city isn’t prepared for development south of the SLT. Instead, the document basically says that a shopping center at that intersection doesn’t comply with the city’s comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan calls for something like a car lot or hotels or some other auto-related use. This legal document that the city is being asked to approve still contemplates that a commercial use is foreseen for the intersection. Is that the message the City Commission intends to send, or does it still intend to send its yellow light message of “We’re not sure what ought to be built there”?

and the woman shared images with each other since he began attending the day school, the affidavit says. Over several months, the woman and the victim shared illicit images, videos and other messages over the phone and through social media, the affidavit says. On Nov. 21 the woman visited the victim’s house while he was alone and the two had sex, the affidavit says. Afterwards the two continued exchanging messages. Later the victim told his mother about his rela-

tionship with his teacher, the affidavit says. His mother then alerted police, who interviewed and later arrested the woman. After she was arrested the woman posted bail and was released on the conditions that she not leave the state or have contact with anyone under 18 years of age. Tuesday morning Smith requested a continuance to allow for more time to examine evidence. He also requested that the woman be allowed to go to Missouri to visit her grandmother,

who is ill. Douglas County District Judge Peggy Kittel granted Smith’s request, moving the preliminary hearing to March 8 at 9:30 a.m. She also granted the request to allow for the woman to visit her grandmother, in addition to allowing for nonsupervisory contact of family members under age 18. The woman is still not to have any contact with other children under 18.

County to consider ambulance fee hike By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

Douglas County commissioners are scheduled to consider a resolution today that would increase ambulance rates for LawrenceDouglas County Fire Medical. Commissioners were informed last month about the plan, which the Lawrence City Commission also will be asked to approve, to increase ambulance fees for 2016, 2017 and 2018. When the last of the increases becomes effective in 2018, rates will be 25 percent higher than present. When the matter was brought to the commission last month, County Administrator Craig Weinaug said the increases would allow the ambulance service to leverage as many Medicaid and Medicare dollars as possible, and thus — This is an excerpt from help limit property tax

support for the department. The commission also will be presented a letter from Kansas University swim coach Clark Campbell requesting use in September of Lone Star Lake for the first collegiate open-water national championships. The request asks that the lake be closed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 16 to set up the 5-kilometer course and from 6 a.m. to noon Sept. 17 for the men’s and women’s races. Campbell’s letter to the county requesting use of the lake states the College Swimming Coaches Association of America would provide insurance for the event. The Douglas County Commission meets at 4 p.m. each Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. A full meeting agenda is available online at douglascountyks.org.

Oread CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard said only that the city “is reviewing the letters in order to determine its next steps.” There have been questions about whether the city will seek to void the special taxing district, which is scheduled to provide another $8 million in tax rebates to The Oread’s development group through 2029. Attorneys representing Oread Inn and Oread Wholesale sent two letters, both stating the city does not have any legal authority to demand Oread Inn gather sales tax records from Oread Wholesale and then give them to the city. The letter from Oread Inn, written by attorney Roger Walter, further contends the city violated Kansas law by using money from a tax increment financing fund to pay for the city’s audit of Oread Wholesale. Monday was the deadline the city placed on Oread Inn to hand over Oread Wholesale’s sales tax records and documents that the business used to prepare its original sales tax returns. The city has sought the documents in an effort to verify numbers related to the special taxing district. The city received the letters Tuesday because city offices were closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The letters were posted to the city’s website. Oread Inn’s letter was its second response to the city since Stoddard sent a demand letter Dec. 16. Oread Inn first responded Dec. 31, denying it had to comply with the demand for financial documents and other demands made by the city after auditors deduced the group created Oread Wholesale in order to “improperly” receive about $430,000 in reimbursements from the city. Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel is listed by the state as the owner of Oread Wholesale. He is also part of the group that developed The Oread hotel. Oread Inn did send the approximately $500,000 that the city ordered it pay back by Dec. 31, but it said it did so “under protest.” The city made the reimbursements in accordance with a redevelopment agreement between the city and Oread Inn that requires the city to rebate a large percentage of all local sales tax collected at the hotel, 1200 Oread Ave. In the newest letters, Oread Inn is arguing Oread Wholesale’s sales tax records do not belong to the development group, and the group can’t take them. Oread Wholesale contends that as a tenant, the redevelopment agreement between Oread Inn and the city requires the company only

to provide monthly sales tax returns and no other financial information. Oread Wholesale’s letter, sent from Kansas City attorney Edward Frizell, says the company has already provided to the city more documentation than is required under the redevelopment agreement or state law. The city is seeking the extra financial documents in order to continue its audit of Oread Wholesale. It was made known in the letter from Oread Inn that the city used money from the tax increment financing fund — the fund used to reimburse the developers — to pay Allen, Gibbs & Houlik L.C., the company that audited Oread Wholesale. Stoddard sent a notice to the development group Jan. 14 saying the city would be using the money, the letter states. As of Dec. 5, the amount the city owed to Allen, Gibbs and Houlik had reached approximately $27,500. In Oread Inn’s response letter, Walter said the action was a “direct violation of the redevelopment agreement and Kansas law.” The city does not have the power to use the money in the fund for its own purposes, he wrote. He described the auditors’ findings as “one-sided,” “inflammatory” and “inaccurate.” Stoddard has previously said the city has not been reimbursing Oread Inn from the tax increment financing fund since June, after the audit began. Paying for the auditing fees was one of the city’s demands listed in its Dec. 16 letter to Oread Inn. The $500,000 payment is the only demand made by the city to which Oread Inn has complied. Besides the $500,000, the auditing fees and Oread Wholesale’s financial records, the city also demanded developers give written assurance that they will “fully cooperate” with the city in any future audits. Developers have been told to agree, in writing, to include a clause in their arrangement with the city that would allow the city to audit any sales tax records of Oread Inn, its tenants or anyone doing business with The Oread hotel without advance notice. Oread Inn is currently working on a “more comprehensive response” to the city’s full list of demands, according to the group’s letter from Monday. The response should be ready by the end of the month, according to the letter. It goes on to say that once the city receives that response, Oread Inn “requests and welcomes” the opportunity to discuss the issues with the city. The development group has previously said that Oread Wholesale retained its own experts to review the city-ordered audit.

Markus CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

City Attorney Toni Wheeler told commissioners that as part of the agreement, Markus would not seek a raise in base salary in his second year. In addition to his base salary, deferred contributions and other, standard city employee benefits, Markus will be given an annual vehicle allowance of $6,000, bringing his total pay to $211,000 in his first year. The city will also make annual $2,000 payments toward Markus’ life insurance policy. The contract says the city will pay for Markus’ move to Lawrence, paying him up to $30,000 in reimbursements for moving costs. Markus will be earning at least $10,000 more in base salary and deferred compensation in Lawrence than he is in Iowa City. After five years in Iowa City, Markus makes

Menard CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

When it came time to vote Tuesday, Mayor Mike Amyx reminisced on the city’s history with the property. A ribbon-cutting was held there in 2014 after the city environmentally remediated it. The nowdefunct Farmland Industries fertilizer plant had been on the property, and it was the site of groundwater contamination caused by years of nitrogen fertilizer spills. “I’m about as excited as I can be for someone who has been around long enough to watch VenturePark grow,” Amyx said. The incentives approved Tuesday are: a 10year, 50 percent property tax abatement; a $549,350 grant to be paid over 10 years; a special assessment prepayment grant up to $250,000; and providing at no cost a bulk warehouse at the site that’s valued at $285,963. Douglas County commissioners have also given preliminary approval for a county grant of $200,000 to be paid over 10 years. Scott Nuttelman, a real estate representative with Menard, said the funds would be used for the land purchase and infrastructure improvements to the property. In discussion before the vote, commissioners Lisa Larsen and Matthew Herbert asked Nuttelman and the city about the company’s environmental practices. — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can Menard Inc.’s previous be reached at 832-7144 and environmental violations nwentling@ljworld.com. have been mentioned be-

“

It’s a very good agreement. We look forward to Mr. Markus becoming our new city manager.” — Mayor Mike Amyx $173,000 base salary, he said, and $22,000 more each year in deferred compensation. “I can tell you, at this stage, that’s not the most important thing that determines what I do or don’t do,” Markus said of the earnings on Jan. 14. Markus, who has worked as a city manager in various Midwestern cities since 1977, will also be making more than Lawrence’s former city manager David Corliss, who was with the city almost a decade before resigning last year. Corliss, who left last June to take a job as town manager of Castle Rock, Colo., earned a base salary of $145,000 in 2014, and his gross wages were $187,785. According to a survey from the International City/County Manage-

ment Association, the average salary for city and county managers was about $111,000 in 2012. The average in 2012 for managers in cities with populations of 50,000 to 99,000 was about $148,400, according to the same survey. Other Kansas cities with various populations differ in what they pay their city managers, anywhere from $141,000 in Manhattan to $213,000 in Wichita. Robert Layton, the city manager of Wichita, earns a base salary of $213,000, according to an article by The Wichita Eagle. The Topeka Capital-Journal has reported Topeka City Manager James Colson earned a total $173,234 in 2013. Manhattan, which has about 30,000 fewer residents than Lawrence, pays its city manager,

fore during the incentives process. Responding to Larsen’s questions, Nuttelman said the production plant would not be using hazardous materials or underground fuel tanks and that it would have no water waste in its production process. Matt Bond, the city stormwater engineer, said he would continue to monitor wells on the property in coming years to check groundwater conditions. Herbert asked city staff whether there was anything in the agreement with Menard that would allow the city to withhold incentives in the case of environmental violations. Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard said the three-way agreement with Menard, the city and county was still being worked on, but that it would include a provision requiring Menard to “operate in a fashion that complies with local, state and federal laws.” Later, Nuttelman said Menard would “have no qualms” about a more specific stipulation that it comply with environmental laws. He said that sort of requirement was in all of the company’s agreements with other cities. The Menard manufacturing campus in Lawrence will be one of about a dozen in the U.S., Nuttelman said. It will comprise a distribution building, a stone and block production facility, a facility to manufacture roof trusses, a wood recycling building and an industrial spur. In other business, commissioners: l Unanimously approved allowing the

Now that the contract has been approved, Markus will give his required 60 days notice to the city council in Iowa City.

Stop telling Mom about marital problems Dear Annie: You must know that for every letter that you get, you only hear half of the story. I read the letter from “Wife on the Outside,” who said her husband talks to his mother negatively about her. I hope that my wife reads that and follows your advice to go to counseling. I am a loving husband and father, and tired of accusations of disloyalty. I love my wife. When my mother asks me how she’s doing and my answer is, “She is very unhappy,” I am not being disloyal. I am being truthful. But my wife doesn’t like it. My wife drinks a lot of wine in the evening. When she is no longer sober, she becomes nasty to the point where she is unbearable. She refused to go for counseling, so I went alone.

Look out for nature’s hustlers Hustle. The very word oozes desperation, guile and the ability to abandon all scruples to survive, to advance and “get over” on everybody else. In a human being, hustle brings out the best and the worst, the audacious, the daring and the desperate. In animals, it’s a sign of intelligence at work and abilities that allow creatures to survive in a world of murderous competition. Now in its 34th season, “Nature” (7 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) continues its three-part miniseries, “Natural Born Hustlers.” Tonight’s chapter, “The Hunger Hustle,” focuses on a particular bird, the devious South African drongo. Its diet consists of bugs and grubs, but neither nature nor evolution has endowed the drongo with the tools to dig very well. Other critters have better means to find a meal. But the drongo can out-hustle the competition. When she sees other birds pursuing their food, the drongo sends out a fake distress call, as if a predator has approached. Once her frightened rivals flee, she pounces on their dinner. The drongo is hardly the only cheat in the natural world. The orchid mantis has the uncanny ability to make itself look like a flower. Not unlike the wolf pretending to be Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother, the mantis lures its prey with a friendly face. The rest is pure murder. The songs that killer whales sing may sound like music to some, but they’re really intended to manipulate herring, their favorite dish. “Hustle” also profiles the gray squirrel, a creature that protects its nut supply with sleight-of-hand tricks more dexterous than the most proficient three-card monte operator. It’s a jungle out there. You’ve got to be slick to survive.

On a similar theme, “NOVA” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-G, check local listings) looks into the mysterious disappearance of krill. Tiny, transparent and shrimplike, krill is a small but vital part of the Antarctic food chain. Its population has plummeted since the 1970s. Some fear that warming ocean temperatures are to blame and that the disappearance of this little morsel may be signs of the unraveling of the ocean’s ecosystem.

Tonight marks a second chance to watch “Second Chance” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14). How many more will it get? Tonight’s other highlights Auditions continue on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG).

Paul Reubens appears on “Face Off” (8 p.m., Syfy, TVPG).

A blind date with a Facebook stranger ends badly on “Web of Lies” (8 p.m., ID, TV14).

Reports link Kevin to the controversy on “American Crime” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-14).

advice is for you: First, please stop telling your mother that your wife is unhappy. While we know that Mom can be a source of support, your marital problems are not really her business. If your wife considers it “disloyal,” then you must stop confiding in Mom. If you need to talk to someone, go back to your counselor. Second, we hope you will return to Al-Anon meetings and learn the limits of what you can do in this situation and how you can help yourself cope. Living with someone who abuses alcohol can be both difficult and exhausting.

Tax leakage A study of how many shoppers go across state lines to buy groceries bolsters the case for reducing the Kansas sales tax on food.

egislators who are concerned about how much revenue Kansas will lose if it reduces or eliminates the sales tax on groceries should be interested in a new study that measures how much food sales tax revenue the state already is losing because Kansas residents are crossing state lines to shop. An analysis conducted by the Kansas Public Finance Center at Wichita State University concluded that Kansas lost $345.6 million in food sales and $21.2 million in tax revenue on those sales during 2013. While it may not be the only reason shoppers left Kansas to buy their groceries, the state’s high sales tax on food probably provided some motivation. The WSU study was commissioned by a group call KC Healthy Kids, a nonprofit, nonpartisan group that advocates for healthy living and supports reduction of the state sales tax on food. The study looked at figures when the Kansas sales tax was 6.15 percent — before it rose to 6.5 percent last July. Unlike most states, including its neighbors, Kansas collects that full amount on food purchased for home preparation. Nebraska and Colorado collect no sales tax on groceries, Missouri has a 1.2 percent tax, and Oklahoma collects 4.5 percent. The study considered only the state sales tax rates, but added sales taxes levied by local governments in Kansas can drive the total rate over 10 percent. In Lawrence, grocery shoppers pay 9.05 percent. Especially with falling gasoline prices, how far would you be willing to drive to save up to $9 on $100 worth of groceries for you and your family? A number of factors are involved. First, for many people shopping across state lines doesn’t involve a special trip. It’s certainly easy enough for Lawrence residents who work close to or across the Missouri state line in Kansas City to shop at a lower-tax grocery store. Johnson County suffered the biggest losses in the state, according to the study, with an estimated $93 million in lost food sales in 2013. A couple from Logan in north-central Kansas were featured in news reports about the study and said they routinely did their grocery shopping in tax-free Nebraska when they traveled to McCook for doctors appointments. It’s a little farther away than comparably sized Kansas cities, but they were going there anyway, and every penny counts for a couple that is living off $800 a month in Social Security. It’s hard to know how much Kansas would have to reduce the sales tax on groceries to bring a significant number of shoppers back to the state, but the fact remains that the tax falls hardest on the people who can least afford it. The economic figures released in this report simply add to the evidence that lowering the Kansas sales tax on groceries is just the right thing to do. LAWRENCE

Cuba wary of impending change Havana — At the darkened Delirio Habanero nightclub on top of Havana’s National Theatre, a group of young Cubans listen to an all-girl band, dressed in micro miniskirts, belt out salsa lyrics. Through the windows behind them, the glowing faces of revolutionary heroes Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos shine down, outlined in neon several stories high on the facades of neighboring buildings. The young people are too busy texting to take any notice, even as the older folks dance. Cuba is a society going through immense changes — generational, economic,and, at some level, even political. These changes were underway even before President Obama made his historic announcement Dec. 17, 2014, about restoring relations. On a recent “educational” trip to Cuba (U.S. law still prohibits vacationers from visiting as tourists), I met with a broad cross-section of Cubans, including academics, students, doctors, artists, economists, bloggers, and private businesspeople. Here are some snapshot impressions from my first visit there that barely touch on the ferment in Cuba today: Tourism. Now that Washington has loosened travel restrictions, the flow from the north has soared, with as many as 23 charters a day flying in over the Christmas holidays. In Miami, long queues of families carrying flat-screen TVs, bicycles, auto parts, and huge shrink-wrapped packages for Cuban relatives snaked through the airport. That’s even before Washington and Havana allow scheduled U.S. flights to Cuba, rather than charters, an influx that may be more than Cuban officials can handle. Even now, airport workers look overburdened, and buses are beginning to line up on Old Havana’s still relatively empty streets.

They don’t want to be dominated by the United States, or have Americans buy up their old cars and buildings. But they hope that closer ties will mean better economic times for Cuba.” The impact is already stunning: Old Havana’s famously beautiful but scabrous Belle Epoque and Art Deco buildings, including those along the Malecon seaside drive, are being renovated and painted in elegant creams and pastels at an astonishing rate. Much of the work — turning decaying giants into elegant boutique hotels — is done by Habaguanex, a holding company run by Havana’s city historian, Eusebio Leal Spengler. He is determined to prevent the old quarter from becoming a high-rise hell. But tourism’s upside also reveals Cuba’s economic downside: Young professionals are abandoning their work to get into tourism, because it pays astronomically more than what they make. I met engineers and doctors driving taxis and wellknown actors waiting tables. Economic reform. The desire for a better economic life is the main driver of the flood of educated young Cubans, ages 25 to 35, including thousands of low-paid doctors, who are migrating to the

United States. Under current immigration rules, they get preferential treatment. “They see that their parents have less than their grandparents did,” one young Cuban professional told me, “and they want more than free education and health care,” which they get in Cuba. Now that their country is more open to the world, many young Cubans want the consumer goods that their American relatives have. No longer subsidized by the Soviet Union or Venezuela, the Cuban government is laying off state workers. Anywhere from 25 percent to 50 percent of Cubans work in the private sector full or part time. Besides B&Bs, there is an explosion of private restaurants, located in large homes. Of course, Cubans blame much of their economic problems on the continuing U.S. embargo. Even were the embargo to be lifted, however, the government would have to decide to loosen much more control in order for the economy to thrive. “We are going from blaming every problem on the USA,” said one knowledgeable Havanan, “to saying we have to change.” Political freedom — and the Internet. “This is a difficult time,” a thoughtful Cuban told me, “because the young want immediate change or they leave, while the older generation don’t want change at all.” This dichotomy isn’t wholly correct. But Cubans are anxiously looking ahead to 2018, when President Raul Castro has said he will retire, and to the Communist Party Congress in April, and hoping both will elevate a younger generation of leaders who will deliver real change. Most Cubans I spoke with were more interested in economic reforms than political ideology. But most don’t want to give up their exten-

sive social safety net, even though the government can barely pay for it. No formal political opposition is allowed in Cuba (human-rights groups say dissidents today tend to be harassed and detained for short periods rather than long prison terms). The migrant exodus helps ease pressure on the government for reforms. But there is intense debate about the future among intellectuals in groups such as Cuba Possible, or around Temas magazine. The government controls all media, but the number of bloggers is constantly expanding, even as government limits on the Internet sharply impede their reach. Home — or office — Internet is limited to certain categories of workers (some find ways to circumvent this). Young Cubans cluster at night in dozens of recently opened public WiFi zones — often in parks — to surf the Web, but the government says home access won’t expand greatly until 2020. Over and over, Cubans young and old told me these limits symbolize government reluctance to relax control. But that level of control is getting harder to maintain. U.S.-Cuban relations. The future of this relationship will be essential. The new ties both excite and frighten most Cubans I spoke to. They don’t want to be dominated by the United States, or have Americans buy up their old cars and buildings. But they hope that closer ties will mean better economic times for Cuba. They look for more openings to promote their rich cultural heritage — and their baseball teams. They say Obama will be warmly welcomed if a proposed visit materializes. In a time of ferment, such a visit is sure to have intriguing results. — Trudy Rubin is a columnist and editorial board member for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 20, 1916: years “Lawrence people, ago who are fairly well IN 1916 dressed as such things go in these days of the high cost of living, are likely to suffer somewhat in their purses and in their self-esteem, according to local clothing merchants. It’s all a result of the war, say the merchants, who conclude from advices they receive from manufacturers that men’s clothing is not only going to rise in price, but deteriorate in quality.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Is honesty no longer a virtue? Over the past month I have spent countless hours reading 19th Century handbooks designed to teach young men how to achieve success in the world. Nineteenth Century America was a nation of hope and optimism, and the belief that any young man (contemporaries were less generous in their attitudes toward women) with the willingness to work hard and adopt the proper behavior could become a financial and social success. Publishers poured out dozens of manuals designed to guide young people in the ways of the world and the paths to success. Americans were proud to have cast off the English class system in which social mobility was limited and financial success a near impossibility unless you were blessed with the right parents. In the United States, anyone could succeed so long as they truly

Everywhere I turn I see public figures, including virtually all of our political candidates for state and national office, putting forth lies and half-truths.”

wanted to do so and were willing to do all that was necessary to succeed. What I find particularly fascinating in these early manuals is the constant emphasis on the importance of honesty in all business and

social dealings. A young man who cannot or will not be truthful with others or who is willing to lie and deceive, according to these self-help authors, is destined to failure in the world. The message is clear: If you want to succeed then you must do so through honest hard work. The old cliché, “a man’s word is his bond” meant something to these people. Having spent so much time reading these manuals written by our forebearers, it has been a bit of a shock every time I turn on the television or radio or read the newspapers or online news. Everywhere I turn I see public figures, including virtually all of our political candidates for state and national office, putting forth lies and half-truths. The business news is filled with tales of industrial corporations, financial institutions, and even universities caught in lies and de-

ceptions. How can it be that the very institutions that are the soul of our nation and the people who lead them are able to lie and deceive with seemingly no penalties for doing so? When did the idea that “honesty was the best policy” fall by the wayside and the very different notion that one should do whatever one can get away with become the norm. Why do we as a nation accept politicians who lie and lie and seem to have no desire whatsoever to tell the truth? Have we become so cynical that we no longer care whether our political and business leaders are openly dishonest? I have to think that our ancestors, were they alive today, we would be shocked and disheartened to see what has happened in our country. — Mike Hoefich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

No drive to drive: Millennials spurn licenses As ride-sharing grows, cars not in vogue Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Young adults are ditching driver’s licenses at a quickening pace, according to a new study, raising a red flag for automakers as they grapple with the emergence of ride-sharing services and an indifferent attitude about cars. About three of four people who

were 20 to 24 years old in 2014 had a driver’s license, according to a new report from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. The exact figure — 76.7% — represented a sharp decline from 79.7% in 2011, 82% in 2008 and 91.8% in 1983, according to the report by Michael Sivak and Brandon Schoettle. The emergence of ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft provides a reasonable alternative for many college students and young professionals — particularly in dense urban areas where

The average transaction price of a new vehicle was $33,188 in 2015, up 20% since 2005, according to Edmunds.com analysts. Auto industry representatives, such as Toyota executive Bill Fay and Ford sales chief Mark LaNeve, said they haven’t noticed a direct impact on their sales from ride-sharing services.

ers are rushing to adapt. General Motors invested $500 million in Lyft this month and plans to deploy a network of self-driving vehicles through the ride-sharing service. Getting a driver’s license after turning 16 has become a lengthier process in recent years as regulators instituted more safety hurdles. That has led to a sharp decline in teens who are driving. In 2014, 24.5% of 16-year-olds had a driver’s license, down from 27.5% in 2011, 31.1% in 2008 and 46.2% in 1983, according to the University of Michigan report.

The Supreme Court will give President Obama one last shot to protect more than 4 million undocumented immigrants from deportation — in the middle of an election year. The justices agreed Tuesday to hear the administration’s argument that Obama has the power to change immigration policy without going through Congress. The court’s agreement to review a challenge brought by Texas and 25 other states led by Republican governors will add fuel to the heated debate over illegal immigration in the 2016 presidential campaign.

The surge of criminal background checks required of new gun purchasers has been so unrelenting in recent months that the FBI was forced to temporarily halt the processing of thousands of appeals from prospective buyers whose firearm purchase attempts were denied. Since October, the bureau’s entire cadre of appeal examiners — about 70 analysts — was redeployed here to help keep pace with waves of incoming background investigations that continued through December when a record 3.3 million firearm sales were processed. The transfer of examiners, which had left a backlog of 7,100 appeals, is only part of a makeshift reorganization that FBI Assistant Director Stephen Morris said has become necessary to handle a burgeoning workload that expands in the wake of every mass shooting and call for increased gun control that invariably prompt firearms sales binges across the country. “The last several months, we’ve kind of found ourselves in a perfect storm,” Morris said. In each of the past six months, the number of background checks has risen steadily, according to FBI records, ending with December’s record, which was more than a half-million over the previous monthly high posted in the aftermath of the Newtown, Conn., school massacre in 2012.

Hispanic electorate to set record Alan Gomez USA TODAY

MIAMI The Hispanic electorate will reach a record high in 2016 with more than 27 million people eligible to vote, nearly outnumbering the number of African-Americans in the United States, according to a Pew Research Center report released Tuesday. But the Hispanic population skews so young that it may not have as big an impact on the elections as some expect. About 44% of the population falls into the Millennial category —

those born after 1980 — meaning they don’t register to vote or participate in elections as much as their older relatives, the report found. “While the Latino voter turnout could be lower than expected because of the large share of eligible voters who are Millennials, the growing number of U.S. citizen immigrant Latinos may help boost Latino voter turnout rates,” the report stated. What the report can’t gauge, however, is whether the Hispanic community will be more energized and organized due to the central role immigration is playing in the campaign.

GOP front-runner Donald Trump infuriated many in the Hispanic community when he called Mexicans rapists and drug dealers. Other Republicans denounced his remarks, but most have followed up by calling for more border security, completing the wall on the southwest border and stepping up deportations of the nation’s 11 million undocumented immigrants.

Ramadi victory a much-needed boost Jim Michaels USA TODAY

Lt. Gen. Sean MacFarland was stationed in the United States when Ramadi fell to Islamic extremists last May. “That was a difficult day,” MacFarland told me. “I heard from Gold Star families,” he says, referring to parents and spouses of U.S. servicemembers killed in fighting in the city almost 10 years ago. Watching images of the Islamic State flag flying over the city’s government center was tough for veterans who helped liberate Ramadi from al-Qaeda in 2006. MacFarland commanded the U.S. brigade in 2006 that helped drive al-Qaeda from the city, an accomplishment that helped turn the tide of war across Iraq. Today, MacFarland is back in Iraq, commanding the coalition fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Ramadi has once again been liberated. This time it was Iraqis — not Americans — who led the fight to retake Ramadi, a Sunni city about 65 miles west of Baghdad. The United States has about 3,500 troops in Iraq, helping to train and advise Iraqi forces. They are not directly involved in combat. After more than six months of fighting, the Iraqi government re-

Commanders study historic battles, drawing lessons from the past and assembling a plan. But war is also intensely personal. For the Americans who fought there, Ramadi wasn’t just a strategic dot on the map. The Ramadi campaign was successful in 2006 largely because of an alliance that Americans formed with tribal leaders. In 2006, MacFarland formed an alliance with Sheik Sattar abu Reisha, a colorful and charismatic tribal leader, whose support was

instrumental in getting the population to line up behind the American effort. Sattar was killed a year later, but by then there was no stopping the momentum against militants. Within a matter of days last year, the Islamic State seemed to wipe out everything the Iraqis and Americans had fought for. Many of the Iraqis who had risked everything to fight alongside Americans nearly a decade earlier watched their city fall into the hands of a terror group more brutal than al-Qaeda. “It’s hard for me to imagine the utter frustration that they must

have felt when that happened,” MacFarland says. “Now that we’ve liberated hundreds of people in Ramadi, we’re finding out what a living hell that was.” Islamic State fighters used civilians as human shields and executed anyone they suspected of disloyalty. “As things got desperate, they became more brutal,” MacFarland says. The Iraqi offensive to retake Ramadi was not speedy, but it did get the job done. The final assault was led by Iraq’s counterterrorism forces, called the Golden Division, an elite American-trained assault force. Even after the withdrawal of

U.S. forces from Iraq in 2011, the United States was able to keep small teams of American Special Forces with the Golden Division, which paid off in Ramadi. “That was the one part of the Iraqi security forces we never lost contact with,” MacFarland says. The assault forces were supported by Iraq’s conventional army. Iraqi forces were also aided by coalition airstrikes. Local police will take over security in the city once it has been cleared. Morale and confidence are as important as weapons and troop numbers in warfare. It was a dispirited Iraqi military that largely collapsed in 2014 as Islamic State militants poured across the border from Syria. The victory in Ramadi has given Iraq’s military a boost and confidence that the various elements of Iraq’s security forces can work together. “The enemy is very beatable,” MacFarland says. In Ramadi it will take months, if not longer, to rebuild. “The enemies were far worse than ... alQaeda in Iraq in terms of deliberately destroying infrastructure,” MacFarland says. Tribal leaders, including some who fought with Americans in 2006, will help put the city back together, once again. The Islamic State proved it could destroy Ramadi, but it couldn’t defeat it.

IRAQ CIVILIAN DEATHS SINCE ’14 TOP 18K, U.N. SAYS Islamic State actions may amount to war crimes, report says John Bacon USA TODAY

More than 18,000 civilians have been killed in Iraq since January 2014 as sectarian violence continues to devastate the country, the United Nations says in a report released Tuesday. More than 36,000 others were

wounded and more than 3 million people displaced from Jan. 1, 2014, to Oct. 31, 2015, the report says. The numbers include only documented cases, meaning the true toll could be much higher. “The violence suffered by civilians in Iraq remains staggering,” the report says. “The so-called ‘Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’ continues to commit systematic and widespread violence and abuses of international human rights law and humanitarian law. These acts may, in some instances, amount to war crimes,

crimes against humanity and possibly genocide.” Zeid Ra’ad al Hussein, U.N. high commissioner for human rights, called for stepped up efforts to end the violence. “Even the obscene casualty figures fail to accurately reflect exactly how terribly civilians are suffering in Iraq,” al Hussein said. “The figures capture those who were killed or maimed by overt violence, but countless others have died from the lack of access to basic food, water or medical care.” The report was compiled by

the U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. The numbers are based on data from victims, survivors or witnesses, the report says. The report details “gruesome public spectacles” of shootings, beheadings, bulldozing, burning people alive and throwing people off the top of buildings. The report says up to 900 children in Mosul may have been abducted for religious and military training by the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS.

“ISIL continues to target members of different ethnic and religious communities, systematically persecuting these groups and subjecting them to a range of abuses and violations,” the report says. “These acts exemplify ISIL apparent policy of suppressing, permanently expelling, or destroying some communities. Women and children remain particularly vulnerable, with ongoing reports of sexual violence, including sexual slavery, and the forcible recruitment and use of children in hostilities.”

More workers needed to handle gun frenzy v CONTINUED FROM 1B

bureau’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System has been canceled. That Black Friday, the system was swamped with 185,345 background check requests on new firearm sales, a single-day record. Morris said temporary background check examiners are being pulled from internal construction projects and bureau divisions that oversee the gathering of crime statistics. The frenzy of activity within the FBI’s sprawling complex, four hours away from the nation’s capital, may represent the most compelling argument in favor of at least part of President Obama’s executive actions aimed at reducing gun violence: the addition of 230 examiners to the NICS operation and 200 agents for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The new positions are desperately needed, authorities said, to support the stressed NICS system and to prepare for an even heavier workload as a consequence of the central provision of the administration’s executive actions. That directive would require an increasing number of private firearms dealers to be licensed, subjecting their customers to scrutiny under the federal background check system. Some of the administration’s most vocal opponents on gun policy appear open to adding the hundreds of positions that would require congressional approval. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, acknowledged that more NICS examiners “might be necessary.” Even the National Rifle Association, which assailed the administration’s overall gun plan this month as “political exploitation,” said it would “have no objection” to proposals that would bolster the ranks of the ATF and NICS. The group remained critical of the plan’s call for private gun sellers to obtain federal licenses, so buyers would go through background checks.

KEVIN JOHNSON, USA TODAY

A backlog of gun purchase denials awaits review at a National Instant Background Check System facility in Clarksburg, W.Va. “If the addition of these agents are used to apprehend criminals — not to harass law-abiding gun owners — and (the examiners are used) to improve the broken NICS system, we would have no objection,” NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker told USA TODAY. Burrowed in the rolling hills of the West Virginia countryside, the idyllic setting for the NICS operation masks the fraught, politically charged debate that has engulfed national gun policy. The NICS system, mandated by Congress as part of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, has for nearly 20 years been a centerpiece of the government’s effort to block criminals from obtaining firearms. The operation has largely struggled to keep pace with a steadily increasing number of firearm transfers, while maintaining databases of criminal and mental health records that rely solely on voluntary contributions from state and local authorities. Those records are crucial to determining whether prospective gun buyers are eligible to purchase firearms.

“We live off those records,” Morris said. “That is our bread and butter. ... The misnomer is that FBI has everything that exists on criminal history records in some big repository, and that’s

simply not true. A lot of data sits out in state and local systems. Being able to reach out and get that information can be very, very challenging.” This month, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, in letters to the nation’s governors as part of the administration’s executive actions, urged states to provide additional information, saying the NICS databases were “far from complete.” The letters contained subtle warnings that the FBI intended to publish each state’s contribution in coming months. “The NICS is a critical tool in keeping firearms out of the hands of prohibited persons,” Lynch wrote, “but it is only as effective as the information entered into the databases upon which it relies.” Though slightly more than 70% of firearms transactions are allowed to proceed within minutes after buyers appear at the counters of licensed dealers, according to the FBI, the records are key to quickly reconciling the transfers that require deeper reviews of state and local data before decisions can be issued on whether guns can be sold. Depending on the volume of gun sales, at any one time, the queue of pending cases — which by law must be resolved within three business days — generally ranges in several thousand. Recently, those numbers ballooned as high as 13,000. If the cases, some of which depend on local law enforcement agencies finding paper records to satisfy an examiner’s search, cannot be resolved within the three-day period, gun dealers are generally free to complete the sales. Morris said he would like to limit examiners’ caseloads to two reviews per hour to ensure accuracy. That number has grown to nearly four cases per hour. The enormous stakes are not always apparent until the first reports of a new mass shooting echo across social media or cable television. No one recent case underscores the sobering nature of the

work, officials said, more than a transaction in April in South Carolina, reviewed by a veteran examiner at the West Virginia facility. In that case, which could not be resolved within the three-day period, Dylann Roof was mistakenly allowed to walk away with the .45-caliber handgun allegedly used two months later to kill nine people at the Emanuel AME Church in downtown Charleston.

Kasich moving up for his chance Paul Singer USA TODAY

The Republican presidential race continues to be all about Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, yet Ohio Gov. John Kasich POWER may have put himself RANKINGS in position to make a WEEK 21 mark when New Hampshire votes next month. In our weekly poll of 30 political experts — we ask who is strongest in the GOP field each week — Kasich notched sixth place this week, his highest standing in the 21 weeks of the survey. It’s not first place — that’s still Trump. But Kasich’s upward movement reflects some thought that he could score second place in the Granite State’s AP first-in-the-naJohn Kasich tion primary. That would plant him in the national headlines and give his campaign life. “This week Kasich feels like a ‘positive alternative’ possibility in N.H., amid all the negativity between (Jeb) Bush, (Chris) Christie, and (Marco) Rubio,” said University of New Hampshire professor Dante Scala. Polls in the state have consistently shown Kasich in a cluster of candidates vying for second place, and last weekend he picked up endorsements from three newspapers in the state. Kasich also benefits from other candidates — namely Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson dropping out of the top tier. “The conventional wisdom is that it’s either Trump or Cruz. However, surprises occur when actual people start to vote,” warned former Democratic congressman Dan Maffei.

Palin backs Trump for GOP nod ‘Very special guest’ is 2008 VP nominee Cooper Allen USA TODAY

Donald Trump picked up the endorsement of one of the biggest names in the Republican Party on Tuesday as Sarah Palin announced she was backing the billionaire real estate developer in the GOP presidential race. “Are you ready to make America great again?” Palin exhorted a crowd at an Iowa rally, invoking Trump’s campaign slogan. Palin cited Trump’s readiness to be commander in chief and blasted President Obama. “We are ready for a change,” Palin said. “We are EPA ready, and our Trump troops deserve the best.” She slammed “establishment candidates,” without naming names, and praised Trump for “going rogue left and AP right.” Palin Trump said he was “honored” to pick up Palin’s backing. Sunday, Trump said on Twitter that he’d make a “big announcement” Tuesday in Ames, Iowa. A Facebook post from Trump that same day indicated he would have “a very special guest in attendance.” Before the event, speculation focused on Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and former Alaska governor, as Trump’s “very special guest” who would announce her endorsement of his White House bid. An adviser to Ted Cruz, who is locked in a tight contest with Trump in Iowa, sought to dismiss the endorsement before it was announced as potentially damaging to Palin’s brand.

Teresa Conrock, right, sells Donald Trump buttons to people waiting to enter a rally at Iowa State University on Tuesday in Ames. “I think it’d be a blow to Sarah Palin, because Sarah Palin has been a champion for the conservative cause, and if she was going to endorse Donald Trump, sadly, she would be endorsing someone who’s held progressive views all their life on the sanctity of life, on marriage, on partial-birth abortion,” Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler said on CNN’s New Day. That didn’t sit well with a certain member of the Palin family. Daughter Bristol made clear on Tuesday what she hoped her mom would do in a blog post titled “Is THIS Why People Don’t like Cruz?” She wrote that she liked Cruz and believed all of the candidates were better choices than Hillary Clinton. However, she added, “after hearing what Cruz is now saying about my mom, in a negative knee-jerk re-

In fact, Cruz himself was more conciliatory in a tweet Tuesday, saying he “will always be a big fan” of Sarah Palin’s, no mat-

ter what she decides about the 2016 race. Another GOP presidential hopeful, Mike Huckabee, weighed in on the impact of Palin’s announcement in an interview on Fox News Channel’s Your World With Neil Cavuto. “She has never endorsed me before, so it’s not a big challenge, but she has endorsed Ted Cruz when he ran for Senate, and that’s got to be more of a blow to his campaign,” Huckabee said. Palin emerged as a leading voice of the Tea Party movement after the 2008 presidential election. During Tuesday’s rally, Palin seemed ready to hit the trail for Trump as the Iowa caucuses loom in less than two weeks. “Are you ready to stump for Trump?” Palin asked the crowd.

Facing the biggest crisis of his five years as governor, demands for his resignation and even calls for his criminal prosecution, Gov. Rick Snyder accepted major responsibility for the Flint drinking water catastrophe in his State of the State Address on Tuesday and set out short-term plans and long-term promises to fix it. “I’m sorry, and I will fix it,” Snyder said near the opening of his 50-minute speech, directly addressing the residents of Flint. “You did not create this crisis, and you do not deserve this. Government failed you at the federal, state and local level. Flint’s drinking water became contaminated with lead in April 2014 while the city was under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager. As a cost-cutting move, the city began temporarily drawing its drinking water from the Flint River and treating it at the city water treatment plant while it waited for a water pipeline to Lake Huron to be completed. — Detroit Free Press LIFE RAFTS FOUND; NO SIGHT OF 12 MARINES AFTER CRASH

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index stood at 60 in January, matching the December reading, the association reported Tuesday. The index has been hovering in the low 60s for a number of months. Readings above 50 indicate more builders view sales conditions as good, rather than poor.

CEO CONCERNS

@khjelmgaard USA TODAY

DAVOS , SWITERZLAND Two out of three corporate CEOs around the world see a risky business environment and worry about growth prospects of their own companies, a survey released here Tuesday shows. “Without question chief executive confidence levels are down in a very significant way year-toyear,” said Dennis Nally, chairman of PricewaterhouseCoopers, the tax consulting group that did the study. It was released on the eve of the World Economic Forum here. “Whether due to the economic environment or geopolitical factors, there’s clearly more threats faced by CEOs today than we have seen over the last several years,” Nally told USA TODAY. The company’s 19th annual survey of top issues and concerns canvassed more than 1,400 CEOs in 83 countries. Only 35% said they are confident their companies will see growth in the coming down 4 LAURENT GILLIERON, EPA year, percentage points from last year’s survey. “It’s a little surprising when you think about how many years post the 2008 financial crisis that we’ve dealt with,” Nally said. “One would have hoped that the trend lines were improving, but they are going in the exact opposite way. This is true all around the world. There’s very few bright spots to talk through.” Twenty-seven percent said global economic growth will get better over the next 12 months, compared with 37% last year. Only 16% of North American CEOs were optimistic, fewer than half of CEOs in the most optimistic regions — Western Europe (33%) and the Middle East (34%). Pessimism about the global economy rose to 23%, from just 7% in 2014.

An annual survey of 1,400 CEOs in 83 countries shows key threats CEOs believe they must contend with include: uOver-regulation (79%) uGeopolitical uncertainty (74%) uExchange rate volatility (73%) uAvailability of key skills (72%) uGovernment response to fiscal deficit and debt burden (71%) uIncreasing tax burden (69%) uSocial instability (65%) uCyber threats (61%) uShift in consumer spending and behaviors (60%) uLack of trust in business (55%) uClimate change and environmental damage (50%)

A third of China’s CEOs (33%) said global economic growth will slow in 2016, the survey found. Nally noted that geopolitical concerns rose to one of the top concerns for the first time. “Given the dynamics of the world, its complexities, CEOs have to be much more adaptive when trying to deal with many of the uncertainties we’re talking about,” he said. “How do you pivot in a way to deal with issues that were not even on your (radar) six months ago? For example, look at the price of oil today. Who would of thought that we would be talking about oil below $30 per barrel as it is today?” He said he expects the 1,500 business leaders attending the forum to focus more on long-term issues. “CEOs are starting to think not just about the short-term demands of profitability and revenue growth but also ... what’s going on with technology today and the impact it’s having — in terms of how services and products are delivered, digitization — that’s turning businesses upside down,” he said. The International Monetary Fund said Tuesday it expects global economic activity to remain modest through 2017. The IMF’s update to its October global outlook said global GDP would expand by 3.4% in 2016 and 3.6% in 2017. It also said China’s growth rate would hit 6.3% this year.

“Whether due to the economic environment or geopolitical factors, there’s clearly more threats faced by CEOs today then we have seen over the last several years.” Dennis Nally, chairman of Pricewaterhouse Coopers

The tech boom is quickly turning into a bust — putting focus on which companies might not have the financial firepower to endure. Nine tech and consumer electronics companies that sold stock to the public the past five years for the first time, including headphone maker Skullcandy, datamanagement firm Hortonworks and cloud-storage company Box, will burn through their cash and investments in less than two years at their current rate, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. Investors have good reason to worry about the ongoing tech bust. The 115 tech and consumer electronics stocks in the Russell 3000 that had initial public offerings the past five years are down an average of 40% from their highest points the past 52 weeks. Anyone who followed past tech crashes knows it’s wise to make sure companies have the resources to endure. There was a good example Tuesday when shares of Hortonworks, which sold stock to the public in December 2014 at $16 for the first time, dropped 37% to $10.44. Why? Investors were stunned it plans to attempt to raise another $100 million in funding by selling more stock. Added shares are never good news for existing shareholders. The company is growing revenue but burned through $129 million in free cash flow over 12 months. Skullcandy is another tech and consumer electronics play that’s getting harder for investors to wrap their heads around. The headphone maker has burned through $26 million in free cash flow the past 12 months. That’s a problem when the company has only about $14 million in cash and investments, far less than a year of liquidity. Box and its recognizable CEO Aaron Levie have drawn attention for their role in cloud computing. But the company has burned $144 million in free cash flow in 12 months — a hefty clip when the company has $214 million in cash and investments.

Supreme Court to weigh insider trading case Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to weigh an appeal in a significant insider-trading case that could affect the Department of Justice crackdown on suspected Wall Street corruption. The nation’s top court will consider the 2013 California federal court conviction of Illinois resident Bassam Yacoub Salman on charges of conspiracy and securities fraud. The charges stemmed from profitable trades Salman execut-

ed between 2004 and 2007 based on secret financial information provided by a former Citigroup investment banker whose family Salman was related to by marriage. Salman was sentenced to 36 months in federal prison and ordered to pay more than $738,000 in restitution. He challenged his sentence on grounds that prosecutors failed to prove the banker who leaked the secret information acted in return for a personal benefit. Salman’s appeal cited a separate insider-trading case in New York in which a different federal appeals court ruled prosecutors must prove a defendant must

have direct knowledge of the leaker, realize she or he committed a breach of fiduciary duty and know the leaker received a personal benefit in exchange for the information. The Supreme Court declined

to consider the New York ruling. That decision handed Wall Street a victory over the Department of Justice by overturning convictions in several insider-trading prosecutions by Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara’s office. However, the California-based Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit rejected Salman’s appeal after weighing the New York decision. The judges ruled a Supreme Court precedent held that the “personal benefit” in insidertrading cases would include cases in which prosecutors show that “an insider makes a gift of confidential information to a trading relative or friend.” The California court ruled

prosecutors in Salman’s case provided sufficient proof for conviction by showing the leaker acted to benefit his brother, who in turn provided the trading details and specifically identified the source of the information to Salman. Salman petitioned the Supreme Court to review the decision. On behalf of the Department of Justice, the U.S. solicitor general unsuccessfully argued that the high court should reject the case and allow the California appeals court ruling to stand. By agreeing to consider the case, the Supreme Court could attempt to reconcile a legal difference of opinion between two different appeals courts.

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

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett famously said, “Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” His point is that the big money is made when investors are afraid and stock prices are low and on sale. Well, there’s a correlation between rising fear and the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index in the months after fear spikes that lends support to the buy-when-blood-is-in-thestreet strategy. Since 1991, the S&P 500 has posted positive gains when a closely watched Wall Street “fear gauge,” dubbed the VIX, climbs above 25. Well, the VIX jumped as high as 31 during Friday’s tur-

In the past, it has been a good time to buy stocks when fear is on the rise, Jonathan Golub, chief equity strategist at RBC Capital Markets told clients in a report Tuesday. “Buying stocks following spikes in the VIX has been a winning strategy over the last 25 years,” Golub says. It happened in August, when the VIX briefly jumped as high as 53 and the S&P 500 rallied more than 11%. Golub’s data since 1991 show that when the VIX is above 25, the S&P 500 was 1.4% higher one month later, up 3.1% two months later and 4.3% higher three months later. Time will tell if fear will result in profitable buying in the current correction.

Global economy key to restoring jeweler’s luster

Q: Is the shine off Tiffany? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Luxury jewelry Tiffany has lost its luster with investors, who still are hoping the company can get its shine back. Shares of the high-end retailer known for its blue boxes fell more than 3% Tuesday to roughly $64 a share, the stock’s lowest level in 52 weeks. The stock move follows disappointing holiday results: Worldwide sales fell 6% from the same period a year ago, the company said. Tiffany blamed the strong U.S. dollar for hurting sales — a common recent complaint among many luxury retailers. The strong dollar makes goods in the U.S. more expensive for tourists from other countries. The weak top line prompted the company to cut its earnings forecast to $3.78 a share for 2015, which would be a 10% decline from year-ago levels. Analysts continue to think Tiffany will bounce back. Analysts are holding out an 18-month price target of $89.92, S&P Capital IQ says. If correct, that would be more than 40% upside from Tuesday’s stock price. Analysts see the company’s profits falling roughly 9% in fiscal 2016 ended in January, but bouncing back 8% in fiscal 2017. Trading at 16.5 times trailing earnings, Tiffany is a discount to the 27 P-E it sported six months ago. The global economy is key to Tiffany and 2017.

Morgan Stanley targets $1B in savings with ‘Project Streamline’ Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

YORK Morgan Stanley, known for its work with tech giants such as Facebook and Alibaba, said it slashed 25% of jobs in its fixed-income and commodity units as part of a larger restructuring that is expected to boost returns to investors. Banks that make money off trading, including Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, have been struggling with a slowdown in trading fees NEW

as large investors step away from dealing in bonds and commodities. This led Morgan Stanley to eliminate 1,200 jobs in December and exit certain areas of trading, such as Asian distressed debt. In addition to the job cuts, the

New York investment bank vowed to cut expenses across the firm by more than $1 billion by 2017 as part of a plan it is calling “Project Streamline.” “Project Streamline is designed to identify significant expense reductions,” Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman said in a conference call with investors and analysts. The cutbacks will eliminate redundant legal entities and relocate employees out of “high-cost centers” to less costly locations, among other simplification efforts, Gorman said, Morgan Stanley shares closed up more than 1% Tuesday at

$26.27. Morgan Stanley earned $908 million, or 39 cents per diluted share in the three months ended in December. That compares to a net loss of $1.6 billion, or 91 cents a share during the same period last year due to a series of onetime items including $3.1 billion in litigation costs. The bank reported revenue of $7.7 billion, down from $7.8 billion a year ago as it struggled with losses in fixed-income trading and underwriting. Wall Street analysts had expected Morgan Stanley to earn 34 cents a share on revenue of $7.4

billion, according to data from S&P Capital IQ. The banking industry is also facing deteriorating energy investments, which could squeeze earnings in 2016. Bank of America, which also posted results Tuesday, said it took a $500 million reserve on souring energy loans in the fourth quarter. Loans in other areas remained strong, however, including an uptick in small-business loans, executives said in a conference call. BofA’s fourthquarter results beat Wall Street’s profit expectations, but fell short on revenue.

co-founder Gil Robertson. Though the Oscars have suffered from these kinds of complaints before, this is the most high-profile threat of retaliation, O’Neil says. He recalls the last time the outcry was “so loud and painful” was before the 2002 Oscars, where Denzel Washington won best actor for Training Day and Halle Berry was the first African-American bestactress honoree for Monster’s Ball. “It was clearly the members’ response to the accusations that they were lily-white.” Robertson and O’Neil agree that the composition of the academy’s 6,200-person voting bloc needs to change. According to a Los Angeles Times study in 2012, the membership was 94% white and 77% male — a skewed contingent that Isaacs has been trying to shift since becoming the academy’s first black president three years ago.

O’Neil says the only fair solution is “an aggressive rainbow outreach that includes more women, more people of color, more young people, a greater sexual orientation. Those walls need to come down, and they need to let the real world in. “People tend to vote for their own kind,” he adds. “Nobody believes that Oscar voters hate black people.” Edwards agrees it’s not a race problem but a relatability problem, though he’s skeptical about the idea to add lots of new members. A bigger deal for him is making sure the academy is a body of voters who appreciate all types of movies. “What we’re dealing with is human nature,” Edwards says. “Certain stories just appeal to certain people. And I don’t know how you change that. “If you understand and celebrate different cultures, then it’s not so hard for you to pick up a Straight Outta Compton screener and watch it. That’s the starting point.”

You’ve seen Khloé Kardashian, well, pretty much everywhere. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, author and media fixture has a new venture, Kocktails With Khloé (FYI, Wednesday, 10 p.m. ET/PT), an eight-episode, dinnerparty-style talk show that will feature famous faces, friends and family. Sharone Hakman serves as chef. Kardashian, 31, is happy to discuss the show, to be filmed on a home-style set just before broadcast, and other topics, but details of former NBA star Lamar Odom’s recovery is not one of them. She has been supporting him even though the couple were divorcing when he was hospitalized in October. “I appreciate people’s genuine concern, but I don’t give away the details, because that’s up to (Lamar),” she says. “If he chooses to, so be it, but I want to respect his privacy.” Here’s what Kardashian does have to say:

Pistol whipped OKLAHOMA STATE 86, KANSAS 67

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD LANDEN LUCAS LEANS BACK IN HIS CHAIR with seconds remaining in the Jayhawks’ 86-67 loss to Oklahoma State on Tuesday at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla.

Cowboys dominate dispirited Jayhawks By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Stillwater, Okla. — A reporter asked Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self if he could pinpoint a common denominator in the Jayhawks’ three consecutive losses at Self’s alma mater, Oklahoma State. “Yeah, me,” KU’s 13thyear coach said after the No. 3-ranked Jayhawks (15-3, 4-2) suffered a 86-67 blowout loss to OSU (10-8, 2-4) on Tuesday night before an announced crowd of 11,383 fans in a building that seats 13,611.

“We’ve had different players every year. ... I’ve got to do a better job. We’ve never played well down here, it seems to me,” he added after KU’s second-straight double-digit road loss. The Jayhawks, who have a 3-6 record in Stillwater during the Self era, fell by five points last season and seven the year before. This time, an unsightly 19-point margin of defeat tied for KU’s third-worst loss in a Big 12 game under Self, trailing only a 25-pointer to Texas and 23-pointer vs. Baylor. “We are struggling right

“

We are struggling right now. We are laboring. We are not playing well as a unit. We are not playing well individually.” — Kansas coach Bill Self now. We are laboring. We are not playing well as a unit. We are not playing well individually. We are inconsistent,” Self said, adding, “We are so spoiled here. We have not had very many

games like this over the years, but we’ve had ’em. Mature guys understand it’s one game and bounce back. It is disheartening at the moment, but we’ll find out how tough we are. “I’ve always questioned whether or not this team from a mental standpoint was tough enough to fight through some stuff. To be honest, we haven’t shown that we are, but we aren’t going to go anywhere if we don’t show that we are. If there’s anything positive out of this is, we’ll find out who we really are. I know

we’re capable of being much better.” The Jayhawks, who trailed 43-38 at the half, were outscored 43-29 the second 20 minutes. KU hit just 42.1 percent of its shots, including a chilly six of 22 from three and 13 of 24 from the line. Meanwhile, OSU, which hit 50 percent of its shots, including 11 threes in 21 tries, outrebounded KU, 38-31. “I think about everything that could go wrong with us went wrong,” Self said. “We

OSU makes KU look step slow

Guard Evans puts on a show

Stillwater, Okla. — One team on the Gallagher-Iba Arena court Tuesday night looked like the type Bill Self always has loved to coach. More athletic than the opposition. Quick, bouncy, rugged, getting rebounds in traffic and chasing down loose balls. Hitting clutch shots every time the lead dwindled. That team was Oklahoma State, and the Cowboys took it to a Kansas University squad that looked, in a word, slow, physically and mentally slow. In every way possible, No. 3 Kansas University looked overrated in taking an 86-67 beating in Gallagher-Iba Arena, where the

volume was high and the attendance low. The building wasn’t even close to full. Many no doubt stayed away figuring it wouldn’t be much of a contest. They couldn’t have been more right and more wrong about that. It was a mismatch, all right,

KANSAS GUARD WAYNE SELDEN JR. (1) HAS WORDS with forward Carlton Bragg Jr. after Bragg threw a pass to an Oklahoma State defender Please see KEEGAN, page 5C during the first half.

Stillwater, Okla. — If 42 points in a two-point home loss to Oklahoma didn’t launch Oklahoma State freshman point guard Jawun Evans onto center stage nationally, his performance in a blowout victory against No. 3 Kansas University should do the job. Evans totaled 22 points, six rebounds and eight assists and took just 11 shots in leading Oklahoma State to an 86-67 Tuesday night destruction of No. 3 Kansas in Gallagher-Iba Arena. “I think he’s great,” Kansas coach Bill Self said of Evans. “I think he’s great.

You can talk about other freshmen in the country. He’s right up there with them. He’s great.” Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford could not have been happier with the performance from the 6-foot, 175-pound point guard from Kimball High in Dallas. “All five players on the court are watching him defensively and trying to figure out how to slow him down. He’s probably the best I’ve ever seen at understanding when to shoot and when to pass. He can go out and get you 20, 25, 30 points or 10, 11, or 12 assists.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Maryland escapes in overtime No. 16 Providence 71, No. 18 Butler 68 Providence, R.I. — Ben Bentil scored 13 of his 20 points in the second half, and Providence rallied late to outlast Butler. Rodney Bullock added 16 points for the Friars (16-3, 4-2 Big East), who improved to 3-1 this season against ranked opponents. It was Providence’s second victory over Butler this season.

On Butler’s final possession, Kelan Martin missed a three-pointer, the Bulldogs got the rebound, and Kellan Dunham fired up a desperation three at the buzzer that missed everything.

didn’t make shots when the game was at least somewhat in balance. What went wrong was they were far better than us.” KU guard Frank Mason III hit four of 12 shots en route to 14 points, while Devonté Graham had 10 points off 4-of-9 shooting and Wayne Selden Jr., seven points off 3-of-8 shooting. “We are not getting much out of our guards at all,” Self said. “We’re not going to go anywhere unless he (Mason) plays well. Devonté and Wayne have got to be consistent.” Asked about Mason looking as if he was worn out, Self pointed out in the first 14 minutes he “had one point and zero assists. We want the ball in his hands. He’s got to do better. We’ve got to do a better job of setting him up to do better. We’re not running our stuff to score right now.

NOTEBOOK

Diallo ‘did fine’ in first career start By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Stillwater, Okla. — Kansas University freshman forward Cheick Diallo made the first start of his college career on Tuesday night, scoring four points with two rebounds and a steal in 13 minutes. The 6-foot-9 Mali native hit two of three shots and missed a pair of free throws without a make. “I don’t think anybody had a chance to look that good tonight. He was fine,” KU coach Bill Self said. “That position has been pretty inconsistent for us. He did some good things. He was so nervous. (There are) a lot of things he has to do to maybe fit in better. I think he did fine.”

Senior forward Hunter Mickelson, who started the last 10 games next to Perry Ellis, played just two minutes. Self said Mickelson was healthy for the game. l

Greene out due to knee bruise: KU junior guard Brannen Greene did not dress for the game. “He hit knees yesterday (at practice with another player). It was not his hip, nothing to do with that,” Self said. “He bumped knees yesterday — I mean, bad, to the point he could barely walk. He was a little better today. Doctors said no way he could be effective tonight.”

Award. To be eligible, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Div. I senior and “have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.” Each of the 30 candidate classes will be narrowed to 10 finalists in February, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans. l

Court storming: OSU’s fans stormed the court after the final buzzer. It looked as if a few Jayhawks, including Devonl té Graham, were caught Award nominee: Ellis is in the middle of the mob one of 30 candidates for but were able to get to the the 2015-16 Senior CLASS sidelines and the hand-

shake line without incident. l

Small crowd: The game attracted an announced crowd of 11,383 in a building that seats 13,611. “Geez, I don’t get into that. I’ve got enough crap to worry about than worry about anything like that,” Self said, when asked about the crowd at his alma mater. “There were some empty seats. I thought the people that were here ... were a good crowd. I’m not emotionally attached in any way, shape or form to the program like I was in the past. I think their team deserves to be supported ... I think they are a fun team to watch unless you are on the end of a beatdown like we were tonight.”

Shine on fire of late: Oklahoma State sophomore Tavarius Shine, who has missed seven games this season because of a shoulder injury, entered Tuesday’s OSU-KU game on a high note. He hit four threes the second half of Saturday’s 74-69 loss at Texas after making just two treys in his first nine games. He hit two threes in five tries against KU. “Excuse my language, I was a little (bleeped) off with the way I’ve been playing this season,” Shine told the Tulsa (Okla.) World. “I feel like I need to do more for my team, not just scoring but I just need to bring a better presence.” The Irving, Texas, na-

tive entered Tuesday’s game averaging 4.9 points a game off 29.5 percent shooting with six treys in 25 tries. l

McDonald’s game: KU continues to recruit several players who this week were selected to play in the 39th annual McDonald’s All-America game, set for March 30 at Chicago’s United Center. KU has one recruiting target on the East team: Udoka Azubuike, 6-11, Potter’s House Christian, Jacksonville, Fla. KU targets on the West team: Jarrett Allen, 6-10, Stephens Episcopal, Austin, Texas; Marques Bolden, 6-10, DeSoto (Texas) High; and Josh Jackson, 6-7, Prolific Prep, Napa, Calif.

but one those who stayed away would have enjoyed so thoroughly. Oklahoma State had lost eight games, but nothing about the way they shredded KU’s stepslow man-to-man defense suggested this was a team that came into the night 1-4 in the Big 12. Kansas defenders not only couldn’t stop penetration but were slow to get to three-point shooters, and the Cowboys made 11 of 21 shots from long range. Seven players made threes. All 10 Cowboys scored, and all 10 had at least one rebound. “They looked so athletic going after the ball,” Self said of the Cowboys. And Kansas, which looked so terrific in scoring a 109-106, tripleovertime victory against Oklahoma, looked just the opposite. KU hasn’t been nearly the same team since that game 16 nights ago. “Tired? No,” sophomore guard Devonté Graham said. “I’m not going to make any excuses and say we were tired. We’re good athletes in good condition.”

KANSAS GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM (4) TAKES OFF down the court after grabbing a steal from Oklahoma State guard Jawun Evans. Frank Mason III hasn’t played with the same zip, raising the question of how healthy he is at the moment. “Yeah, he’s fine,” Self said of the player who routinely has multiple crash landings. “He may be sore, but, hell, everybody gets sore, so I don’t think it’s anything major at all. ... We’re not getting much out of our guards at all. We’re not going anywhere unless Frank plays well. And Devonté and Wayne (Selden Jr.) have to be consistent.” On paper, KU’s experience makes it well suited for the road and for avoiding one-sided up-

sets. Not the case in this one. Perry Ellis, Mason and Selden, with a combined 10 years of college basketball experience, combined to make 10 of 30 field goals and three of 12 threes, with two assists and six turnovers. Oklahoma State’s Jawun Evans, college basketball’s newest superstar, without question was the best player on the floor. He controlled the game by getting his body and then the ball to go where he desired. Evans, who scored 42 points in a two-point loss at home to Oklahoma, dropped 22 points, eight assists and six rebounds

OKLAHOMA STATE GUARD JEFF NEWBERRY (22) BLOCKS a shot by Kansas forward Perry Ellis (34) and is called for the foul during the second half. on Kansas. He makes every team look slow by comparison. After praising Evans, Self openly questioned his players’ toughness. When he goes there, he generally gets the intended result. Toughness can develop, but becoming

more athletic lies more in tangibles than intangibles. A lack of quickness can be camouflaged in a variety of ways, such as by hitting three-pointers, but it can’t be significantly changed. Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford, who has

won the past three games in Stillwater between the schools, detailed how he thinks the Cowboys’ athleticism influenced the game. “Athleticism is not just about jumping,” Ford said. “Athletic can be fast, quick. I thought we had a lot of deflections, which we keep track of. We took two charges that I know of that we moved from weak side to strong side.” The Cowboys were quicker to loose balls. Often, such plays are characterized as purely effort plays, but the truth is, with both teams trying hard, the quicker team takes possession of more of them. Obviously, Kansas is a far better team than it showed Tuesday, but it’s also a flawed one. No easy solution exists to the much-discussed shortcomings at the center spot. And more often than in most years, Kansas will face teams with the sort of edge in athleticism that leads to doing a lot of the little things better. Little things become big things on nights shots aren’t falling. — Sports editor Tom Keegan appears on The Drive, Sunday nights on WIBW-TV.

SCOREBOARD

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP

Kickers could decide Pats-Broncos winner Denver (ap) — Antonio Smith says nobody can get into Tom Brady’s head. That didn’t stop Denver’s defensive lineman from trying by labeling New England’s quarterback a crybaby. “I’ve never seen any quarterback look to the referee right after he gets sacked more than Brady,” Smith said with a smile. “Every time he gets sacked, he looks at the ref like, ‘You see him sack me? Was that supposed to happen? He did it a little hard. Please throw a 15yard penalty on him. Get him fined.’” Both teams know the AFC championship won’t be decided by potshots — and maybe not even by the golden arms of Brady and Peyton Manning when they square off for the 17th — and likely final — time Sunday in Denver. Maybe it’ll come down to two of the greatest toes on turf instead. Especially with Denver sporting the league’s stingiest defense and Manning reduced to managing the Broncos’ no-longer explosive offense. New England’s Stephen Gostkowski was the NFL’s top kicker in 2015, winning his second AllPro honor after leading the league with 151 points. Denver’s Brandon McManus tied an NFL record by nailing all five of his kicks in tricky crosswinds in Denver’s 23-16 win over Pittsburgh in the divisional round. Sunday’s forecast in Denver calls for a clouds and temperatures at kickoff in the lower 40s, dipping into the 30s, which is good news for both Manning and Brady. Yet ... Last weekend’s game was also supposed to be mild. “During warmups, we went out there and it was a pretty calm day, a nice, tempered day,” McManus said. “We come out seven

Him being able to kick with this wind helped us.” Gostkowski is accustomed to kicking in bad conditions, too. So, if it gets windy Sunday, neither he nor McManus will fret. “You kind of have to hit a ball to a spot and hopefully the wind takes it,” McManus said. “I had that 51-yarder right before halftime. I thought it was going to be easy down the middle, and it barely sneaked in.” Gostkowski’s field goals from 40 and 32 yards in the fourth quarter last weekend helped the Patriots stave off Kanas City, 27-20. He also nailed a 47-yarder as time expired to send the game to overtime when New

Cardinals’ running game has fallen on hard times face Carolina in the NFC championship game on Sunday, they will go against a defense that ranked fourth against the run in the regular season, allowing 88.4 yards per game. Arians said Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short are the best pair of defensive tackles Arizona has seen all season. “The linebackers are great,” Arians said, “but they (the tackles) help make them great.” Lotulelei and Short are great players, Cardinals left guard Mike Iupati said. “They’re big, fast, strong.” And they help make linebacker Luke Kuechly the great player he is. Kuechly, Arians said, has “got great instincts.” “He’s really fast,” the coach said. “What he really is, he’s a great pass defender. People see all the tackles, but they do a great job of keeping him clean to make the tackles,” The absence of defensive end Jared Allen, who is doubtful for the game due to a broken foot, won’t have that much impact, the Cardinals coach said. “They’ve got good depth,” Arians said. “Ma-

I just couldn’t find the 9-inch pan. Stir the crust ingredients together in a small bowl until thoroughly combined and crumbly. Pat the crumbliness into the bottom of your pan and just a teeny bit up the sides. Set the pan aside and dig out your stand mixer. Make sure that your dairy products are at room

Burgers and beer? Call a game-day audible By Sara Moulton Associated Press

Big provisions are required to watch the big game, and nothing’s more substantial than a burger, even in its mini form — the slider. Indeed, if you plan to serve a variety of dishes for the Super Bowl — or just this football playoff weekend — sliders are more sensible than the fullsized guys. But they happen to be a little trickier to cook than a standard-issue burger. The slider’s size makes it tough to put a nice crust on the outside while ensuring that it doesn’t overcook on the inside. These sliders are adapted from a burger I used to make a million years ago at a bar in Ann Arbor called the Del Rio — my first job as a cook. Dubbed the Det Burger, this marvel was dreamed up before I landed at the Del Rio by a cook named Bob Detweiler, who baptized the creation after himself. The heart of the original version was a quarter-pounder topped by “the Det mix” — canned mushrooms, canned olives, grilled onions, freeze-dried green peppers and Kraft Singles. But there also was a secret ingredient: beer. The Det Burger was steamed in beer. If it wasn’t quite “the burger that made Ann Arbor famous,” it was undeniably a city-wide favorite. A generation later, I assembled the same winning combo of ingredients — though in a fresher form — and then focused on the cooking process to make sure these mini-burgers ended up both juicy and crusty. There are a few key points. First, the sliders need to be about 3/4-inch thick, not only so they don’t overcook, but so you can fit all of them at one time into the skillet. Second, the skillet needs to be large, a 12-incher. If you don’t have a skillet that big, use two smaller ones and cook six sliders in each. And third, whichever skillet you use, the oil must be heated until it’s almost smoking. At

Beer-Steamed Sliders the start, you want the burgers to sear, not steam, which is what will happen if the pan isn’t hot enough. At first, the sliders will be crowded together in the skillet, but they’ll shrink down as they cook, giving off fat and juices in the process. You deglaze the pan with beer, of course, which mingles intimately with the fat and juices released by the burgers to create a delectable pan sauce. I recommend spooning some of this liquid onto the buns before sliding in the burgers, but my son proposes a more extravagant way to roll: pour the sauce into ramekins and invite your guests to dunk their sliders into it between bites. Whatever happens onscreen, you’ll be winning at home.

BEER-STEAMED SLIDERS Start to finish: 50 minutes Makes 12 sliders Ingredients: 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion 3 ounces mushrooms (white, cremini or shiitake), finely chopped Kosher salt 2 tablespoons finely chopped pitted green olives 2 tablespoons finely chopped, drained, canned green chilies 3 ounces sliced sharp cheddar cheese, broken into 12 equal pieces 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, shaped into 12 sliders, each about 3/4 inch thick Ground black pepper

Bacon, cheese make it a date to remember

appetizer that was hot stuff back around the time the Super Bowl got started. Ever hear of rumaki? Back in the day, it was all the rage to serve these bacon-wrapped chicken livers seasoned with sort of trans-Asian

1/3 cup beer 12 slider buns

Directions: In a large (at least 12-inch) skillet over medium, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the onion and cook until golden, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the onion to a bowl. Add another tablespoon of the oil to the pan, the mushrooms and a hefty pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid the mushrooms give off has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to the bowl with the onion. Reserve the skillet. Add the olives and chilies to the mushroom mixture and stir well. Set aside. Return the skillet to high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and wait until it is almost smoking. Meanwhile, season the sliders on one side with salt and

flavors. I wasn’t willing to go quite that far (Liver? For a Super Bowl party? Probably not ...), but the rumaki sparked an idea. I love dates because they are meaty and sweet. I also love how delicious it is to play their flavor off of savory ingredients. And that’s why I decided to remake rumaki as dates stuffed with chunks of Parmesan cheese and wrapped with bacon. And because I’m a total grill girl at heart, I popped them over hot coals to get them warm, crisp and delicious (though I include an oven alternative for those unwilling to brave the cold to grill). The dates are easy to make, and even easier to eat! So be warned that your guests will eat them like candy! I would plan on a minimum of four per person. And if your crowd has a voracious appetite, double or triple this recipe. If the dates aren’t large enough to sit comfortably on your grill grates without falling through, arrange them on a wire rack and set the entire rack on the grill. Or you can just do them inside in the oven. But whichever way you cook them, let them cool a bit before serving; they get very hot.

BACONWRAPPED PARMESANSTUFFED DATES The toasted cumin seeds are a great contrast to the sweet dates, but if you don’t care for those you can leave them out or substitute a chunk of wal-

pepper. When the oil is hot, add the sliders, seasoned side down (it will be a little crowded in the pan), and cook them until they are just browned on the first side, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the top side of each with salt and pepper, turn the sliders over and cook for another 2 minutes. While the sliders are browning, top each slider with a heaping teaspoon of the mushroom mixture, dividing all of the mixture among the sliders, then place a piece of cheese on top of each. Quickly pour the beer into the pan, all around the sliders, cover the pan and steam for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the sliders sit in the pan for another minute to let the cheese melt completely. Spoon some of the liquid in the skillet onto the tops and bottoms of the buns, transfer the sliders to the buns and serve right away.

Vitamin D, Probiotics Lessen Symptoms of Allergies Two recent studies have found that supplemental vitamin D and probiotics—used separately—can ease symptoms of different types of allergies In the first study, Jill A. Poole, MD, and her colleagues at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, treated 42 patients with chronic urticaria, also known as hives. All of the subjects were given the standard three-drug treatment regimen (cetirizine, ranitidine, and montelukast). They were also given either 4,000 IU or 600 IU of vitamin D daily for 12 weeks. By the end of the study, the drug therapy reduced the patients’ urticaria severity scores (USS) by an average of 33 percent. People taking the high dose of vitamin D had a further decrease in USS to 40 percent, reflecting a significant reduction in symptoms. People taking the low dose of vitamin D did not have any additional benefits. Meanwhile, French and other European researchers tested the effects of Lactobacillus paracasei (related to L. casei) supplements and placebos on 425 people with hay fever. After five weeks, people taking the probiotics had greater overall improvements in their symptoms. Although their nasal allergy symptoms did not improve, their eye symptoms did get significantly better. Other studies have found that probiotics strongly influence the immune system and modify how immune cells react to pollen. Reference: Rorie A, Goldner WS, Lyden E, et al.

Finally... The Five-Second Food Rule When it comes to picking up and eating dropped food, many people tend to follow the five-second rule. It is a valid approach, according to a recent study conducted at Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom. Researchers found that the length of time did influence the transfer of bacteria from the floor to food. So did the type of flooring. Bacteria were least likely to be transferred from carpeting to food, but more likely to be transferred from hard floors to moist food. Hilton A. Science Daily, March 10, 2014.
