Topeka — Westar Energy announced Monday it’s looking for customers to sign up for a “community solar” program that would enable them to buy a certain percentage of their energy from a solar array.

The Kansas Corporation Commission recently authorized Westar to build a solar array, if the company can secure enough commitments by the end of March for the purchase of at least 1 megawatt of power — roughly enough electricity to power 164 homes.

Westar spokeswoman

The additional cost for a household to receive about 15 percent of its electricity through community solar is about $10 per month at current electricity prices, Westar said. But the rates the company charges will be locked in place for the length of their enrollment, regardless of what happens to regular rates.

Floyd Bledsoe is evidence to show the former prosecutor and law enforcement officials tried to put the wrong man behind bars.

“It’s just kind of, unfortunately, one of those things,” Belveal said.

“Mistakes just got compounded, but I think they were honest mistakes. I don’t think anybody did anything sinister.”

After having served 15 years in prison, Bledsoe was released from custody in December after new DNA evidence and letters of confession from Floyd’s late-brother Tom Bledsoe emerged.

A former prosecutor, county sheriff and KBI agent likely made mistakes related to DNA and lie detector evidence in a 1999 wrongful murder conviction, but Jefferson County’s top prosecutor said he’s convinced they weren’t intentional.

Questions about how certain pieces of evidence were handled in the 1999 murder conviction of Floyd Bledsoe have been swirling since December, when a Jefferson County court overturned his conviction and released him from prison.

Jefferson County Attorney Jason Belveal told the Journal-World recently that mistakes were made in the case that convicted Bledsoe for the murder of 14-yearold Zetta Camille Arfmann. But Belveal said he doesn’t believe there

Bus writers: Residents awarded free fares for transit stories

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Lawrence resident Johnny Lyons says he’s a regular on “the Five,” as he affectionately calls it — the Lawrence Transit System bus that covers the city’s southeast corner by making a loop from East Hills Business Park to the Iowa Street Walmart.

He hops on the bus from a stop on 23rd Street that’s close to his home off Ousdahl Road, and he takes the long route to his workplace

Remembering MLK Speakers at KU’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day event urged taking action to make the world a better place. Page 3A

in East Hills Business Park, starting by going west on 23rd instead of east. It takes about an hour to go south down Iowa Street and then retrace the route, back past his home and on to East Lawrence.

It’s Lyons’ way to prepare for the day.

He’s a talker, and an observer, and has made many “bus buddies.”

“I’m a very precarious person,” Lyons said. “I love people, I love talking and chatting them up.”

“

I’ve seen a lot folks struggle with finding affordable housing here in town. It’s been something that’s in my heart. It’s a complicated problem, but there’s a lot we can do to was, chip away at it.”

“The thought there’s such need and there’s so much interest and goodwill toward making progress with affordable housing that it seemed important to go ahead and try to use this original $100,000 to see what we could accomplish,” Thellman said.

“We hope to have that as an encouragement to the community to keep the ball rolling.”

According to a draft of the request for proposals, the funds can be awarded to one or more projects that provide a public benefit. Proposals can include acquiring, rehabilitating or developing affordable housing or services that help maintain independent living.

Proposals are due Feb. 19. The advisory board plans to bring a recommendation to the City Commission in March.

The Rev. Matt Sturtevant, who was selected as chairman of the advisory board at its first meeting in November, said he wants the first project to “have an impact.”

As a pastor at First Baptist Church for the past six years, Sturtevant said he’s seen multiple church members relocate to other towns, farther from their workplaces, because of Lawrence’s lack of affordable housing.

“I’ve seen a lot folks struggle with finding affordable housing here in town,” Sturtevant said.

“It’s been something that’s in my heart. It’s a complicated problem, but

Lyons is also a writer.

On the weekends, he writes downs his observations, from the bus and elsewhere.

“I always observe people and my environment around me and make notes,” he said. “It’s been in the back of my mind to write a piece just devoted to the adventures in Bus Land.”

Lyons had his opportunity in November, when Lawrence Transit System put out the call for transit-related stories from its riders. The purpose of the contest was to celebrate the system’s 15 years in Lawrence.

It was announced recently that Lyons took second place in the contest for his short story, which was packed with descriptions about his fellow bus riders. The experience of riding the bus, he writes, is a “kaleidoscope of faces and people.”

As the second-place winner, Lyons received six months of free bus fare.

there’s a lot we can do to chip away at it.”

City Commissioner Stuart Boley, who is also a member of the Affordable Housing Advisory Board, said he hopes the other city commissioners can come to a unanimous decision to support a project with the dollars from the housing trust fund.

“I really want all of the commissioners to be satisfied that we’re doing the right thing with that money; I don’t want to have anybody feel like we’re doing the wrong thing,” Boley said. “I want to have some consensus around some of these things. I’m willing to talk and work with people to achieve common understanding. It’s really that important that we do it.”

The housing trust fund will soon see some contributions from local developers, who must pay into it in accordance with their arrangements with the city for public incentives.

Back in October, Boley introduced the idea to have owners of The Eldridge hotel pay a higher amount to lease a city parking lot that will be used to store equipment during an upcoming expansion project, and to allocate that money to the housing trust fund.

The hotel had originally offered to pay the city

$6,720 total to take over the public parking lot at Seventh and Vermont streets. Boley worked to change that lease agreement to require The Eldridge owners to pay $8,000 monthly for the 28 spaces, with a maximum of $120,000.

Developers of a new apartment building at 800 New Hampshire St. will contribute $75,000 to the housing fund.

Bill Fleming, a Lawrence attorney representing the development group headed by Lawrence businessmen Doug Compton and Mike Treanor, told commissioners in December that the group would make the payment if their industrial revenue bonds were approved. Commissioners voted 3-2 to approve the incentive.

The Affordable Housing Advisory Board is planning to discuss at its March meeting other long-term revenue streams for the fund.

Boley said the board’s first project this year is only its “initial effort.”

“I think it’s very important for the community we make progress for affordable housing,” he said. “This will be a key piece in that puzzle.”

— City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can be reached at 832-7144 and nwentling@ljworld.com.

“I just wrote this little piece, expounding on the virtues of riding on the bus, and how interesting it is,” Lyons said. “It encouraged me to keep doing what I’m doing, to keep writing and telling stories.”

Jacob Horton, sophomore at Lawrence High School, took the top prize: one year of free bus fare.

It was Dec. 1, the last day entries could be submitted, when Jacob decided to write his story.

The 15-year-old said he started using public transit when he was 5.

Jacob started taking the bus in sixth grade to get to South Middle School when the district told him he was too close to ride its bus, he wrote.

“I talked in the story about how I’ve been using it for a long time, and how I use the city bus to get to school and back home, and to the grocery store, and to other places.

The bus is my only means of transportation.”

For third-place winner Billy Baker, who is 25 and disabled, Lawrence’s transit system gives him the capacity to work and interact with the world outside of his Lawrence home.

Baker’s cousin, Amanda Burghart, wrote Baker’s entry, describing how the city’s paratransit drivers pick him up every day from the door of the home he shares with his 87-year-old grandmother.

The service takes him to Cottonwood Inc. for work, and then brings him back in the evenings.

A monthly pass for paratransit costs Baker $68. For taking third place in the contest, he won three months of free fare.

Sherry McCoy, Baker’s aunt and legal guardian, said Baker’s day-to-day life would be “nonexistent” without it.

“Billy’s life would not be what it is now,” she said. “When he got let out of school, it would have been a very boring life for him. But Cottonwood took him in, and it was like, ‘Yay!’ and then with the transit, we thought, ‘Oh, yes, we can do this.’

It has made his life.”

The winning stories were selected from a pool of about 40 entries.

Currently, wind makes up about 15 percent of all the power Westar produces. But for a fee, customers can choose to get more of their energy from wind.

That fee had been $1 for a block of 100 kilowatt hours. Under the new system, that same block costs only 25 cents.

But the new system allows customers to simply choose what percentage of their electricity they

want to come from wind, without thinking in terms of kilowatt hours.

Under the new rate, an average residential customer could purchase 100 percent of their electricity from wind power at an additional cost of $2.50 to $3 per month, Penzig said.

IN FRONT FROM LEFT, AMY SCHMIT-COWARDIN, HER SON HUGO COWARDIN, 8, husband Mark Cowardin and son Maxwell, 11, participate in Kansas University’s annual MLK Day candlelight vigil and walk to the Kansas Union on Monday. The march was lead by representatives of KU’s Black Student Union, National Pan-Hellenic Council and Student Senate.

Speakers at MLK Day event at KU urge personal action

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Speakers at Kansas University’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration on Monday urged taking action to make the world better, and doing it now.

“We cannot wait for the next Martin Luther King Jr., the next Malcom X, the next Rosa Parks,” said Rhavean King Anderson, a KU track athlete and first-year law student from Memphis, Tenn. “We must be that change ourselves.”

KU’s recognition of MLK Day started at 4:30 p.m. in the Strong Hall rotunda, where close to 100 KU students, employees and community members gathered for a candlelight walk along Jayhawk Boulevard.

The group marched to the Kansas Union ballroom for a reception, music from the KU a cappella group Genuine Imitation and a program featuring several speakers delivering remarks inspired by King.

Anderson said that growing up in the south, she was always acutely aware of her race.

Because she was black, from a

family without college graduates and from a poor neighborhood, she was told there were a number of things she couldn’t do, she said.

Anderson said King was motivated by that word — can’t — and she was, too.

Jomella Watson-Thompson, assistant professor of applied behavioral science at KU, said that as a tenure-track professor beginning her career she was given some advice to focus primarily on her work and family, including young children, to reach her goal of tenure.

Using her attached garage to illustrate, Watson-Thompson said that’s what she did — left work, pulled into her garage, shut the door and turned her attention to her personal life without engaging her own neighborhood much.

She said that attitude changed when a teen neighbor, in her noncrime-ridden neighborhood, was raided for selling drugs out of the house while his parents were away. She felt like if she were more engaged with her community she could have done more to prevent that teen from turning to

crime. She said she now leaves her garage door open more, engages more with her community and works to build relationships and trust.

Watson-Thompson mentioned several individuals who didn’t wait to be the change they wanted to see, including King, who had young children. What if he had waited? she asked.

“We all have a role in supporting progress and change,” Watson-Thompson said.

Interim provost Sara Rosen said MLK Day is a reminder that there’s still work to be done. Campus events of the past semester have illustrated that, and as a result, “complacency is faltering,” she said.

Rosen said she was inspired by King’s urging to not be satisfied, always march ahead and never turn back. She said her goal was to provide a KU experience that all will cherish.

“We must continue to use all the methods we have, everything at our disposal ... because when one of us suffers, all of society suffers,” she said.

Meal program for seniors takes off in Baldwin City

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ljworld

Earleen Snider says there are two underlying reasons she and her husband, Carl, signed up for the new senior meals program in Baldwin City.

“He’s cheap, and I hate to cook,” she said. “This is perfect for us.”

The Sniders have made a weekday lunchtime commute from their Vinland Valley home to the site of Baldwin City’s Choosing Healthy Appetizing Meal Plan Solutions for Seniors since it started Jan. 4 at the cafeteria in Baker University’s Harter Student Union, 615 Dearborn St. The 12-mile round trip that gets them out of the

house and provides a respite from the winter blahs is another appeal, Earleen said.

“That’s a big thing for me,” she said. “I’m a retired realtor. I’m used to being on the go.”

Earleen, 70, said she and her husband, a 73-year-old career wildlife biologist who retired from a state position, enjoyed a comfortable retirement. Nonetheless, they do appreciate the program that allows them to get $3 daily meals at the cafeteria.

“We are in good shape financially,” she said.

“We just don’t know how long our retirement is going to have to last.”

Marijuana bill gets hearing; schools, KanCare, hospitals in focus

I

t’s probably a safe bet that Kansas won’t join Colorado and Washington state in legalizing the recreational use of marijuana, at least not anytime soon. But a Senate committee will consider a bill this week that would reduce the penalties for first- and second-time possession. And it would take baby steps in the direction of allowing certain medical uses of a cannabis derivative.

House Bill 2049 passed the House in May last year, 81-36. But it came so late in the session that the Senate ran out of time to consider it, and so held it over until the 2016 session.

The bill would do three

Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

things: reclassify first and second possession offenses as misdemeanors instead of felonies; authorize the Kansas Department of Agriculture to conduct research into

industrial hemp production; and allow the use of hemp oil as a treatment for certain kinds of seizure disorders.

The hemp oil provision was added as an amendment during floor debate in the House last year by Rep. John Wilson, DLawrence.

Hemp oil is derived from the seed of the plant and does not contain THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana. But some studies have shown that it can reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in people with epilepsy.

A fiscal analysis conducted last year estimated that passage of the bill

would eventually reduce the state’s prison population by 75 beds, saving the state a little more than $1 million a year.

The Senate Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee has scheduled hearings on the bill Wednesday and Thursday.

K-12 education Issues around K-12 education in Kansas will be the topic of discussion in multiple hearings this week, starting bright and early this morning when the special K12 Student Success Committee meets to finalize its report to the full Legislature.

That’s the panel established last year when

lawmakers repealed the old per-pupil funding formula and replaced it for two years with a system of block grants. Although it wasn’t charged with devising a new formula, it was told to begin laying the groundwork for a new funding mechanism to be based on student outcomes, rather than a costdriven formula, in line with a 2014 ruling from the Kansas Supreme Court.

Rep. Ron Highland, R-Wamego, offered his own version of a draft report earlier this month.

But the panel tabled that document and sent it to the Legislative Research Department for redrafting.

Still, it is widely

expected that the final draft will contain many of the same recommendations, including taking a whole new look at the annual state assessments in reading and math; overhauling the way the state provides extra funding for students “at risk” of failing or dropping out; and putting tighter controls on the ability of local school districts to issue bonds, the repayments of which are partially subsidized by the state.

Later in the day, Education Commissioner Randy Watson will give a briefing on the Department of Education’s new “vision” Please see KANSAS, page 4A

Jocelyn Lyons, executive director of the Jayhawk Area Agency on Aging of Douglas, Jefferson and Shawnee counties, said the Sniders were two of 114 Baldwin City residents who signed up for the agency’s CHAMPSS program during three community orientation programs the past month.

“We were pleased with the turnout that was demonstrated in Baldwin City,” she said. “I was told we had a full room at all three orientation meetings at the library.”

The Jayhawk AAA program is available to those living in the agency’s service area of Douglas, Jefferson and Shawnee counties who are 60 years of age or older and their spouses.

Participants are issued personalized CHAMPSS cards, which work like ATM cards and are good for dining at all designated meal sites in the three counties. Participants are asked to pay $3 per meal, which helps the Jayhawk AAA expand the program and cover its costs, but the agency will work with those unable to afford that amount, Lyons said.

The CHAMPSS program replaced the senior congregate meal sites in Douglas County, including the one that offered noon weekday meals in the Baldwin City Senior Center. The goal was to attract more seniors with the greater flexibility and choice the CHAMPSS program offers, Lyons said.

The Baker site offers breakfast from 7:30 to 9 a.m., lunch from 11 a.m. to

watch all the competitors in a race start at the same time, Campbell said.

“A mass start is something unlike anything you’ve ever seen in sports,” he said. “It’s kind of like professional wrestling meets swimming. There is some strategy that goes into getting a good start.”

Lawrence’s Midwestern location is also a plus for the event, because it makes travel affordable for schools from the East and West coasts, Campbell said.

The College Swimming Coaches Association of America, rather than the NCAA, will sanction the event. It’s possible that could change if the event proves popular and open-water swimming

continues to grow, Campbell said.

Whatever the future holds for the sport, the KU coach is thankful his athletes will have another opportunity to compete.

“It’s a good way for our pool athletes to experience something new and challenge themselves,” he said. “It gives them the chance to see if it’s something they want to pursue. It’s something you don’t know you’re good at unless you do it.”

Libby Walker, a freshman distance swimmer on the KU team, competed in open-water events from ages 11 through 14 and plans to compete in April at USA Swimming’s open-water national championships in Florida.

She enjoys the longer distances and the absence of split turns, which are not her best skill, the Columbia, Mo., native said.

It is a form of competitive swimming more geared to mature competitors, and Walker plans to continue with the sport after her KU career.

“It’s a combination of endurance and knowing how to maneuver in something other than a pool,” she said. “You have to have strength because

The cafeteria has seen as few as eight CHAMPSS customers per day and as many as 13, McCullough said. He suspected cold temperatures and icy or damp conditions kept many cardholders at home.

“I don’t think you can have a true test with the weather as cold as it has been,” he said. “We’ll see how it goes.”

The CHAMPSS program has sites in all three counties the Jayhawk

AAA serves, Lyons said.

Most are in grocery stores, with three Dillons and two Hy-Vee stores in Lawrence serving as CHAMPSS sites.

The Jayhawk AAA would like to add a site in Eudora to replace the congregate meal location that closed in that community, and agency staff members have met with owners and managers of restaurants in the community about the program, Lyons said.

“So far, nobody has stepped forward,” she said.

“We have restaurant locations in Jefferson County that are very successful.

Yacht Club reopens under new ownership ON THE street Town Talk F

or many years, parents of Kansas University students were under the impression that their children were getting a fine education in all things nautical. After all, the credit card statement kept showing visits to The Yacht Club. Come to find out, The Yacht Club was a bar and grill.

As we previously reported, it closed in June, but now there’s news the longtime establishment has reopened under new ownership.

A pair of radio personalities with Kansas City country music station Q104 — Mike Kennedy and Whitey Whitney

Bledsoe CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

During the December court hearing that set Bledsoe free, the Jefferson County court heard testimony about irregularities in the investigation. They included: l Original DNA samples were undergoing testing at a Kansas Bureau of Investigations lab when a stop order was signed by Jefferson County Attorney Jim Vanderbilt, Sheriff Roy Dunnaway and KBI Special Agent James Woods, all of whom are now retired. The stop order does not have an explanation about why it was issued. l Jefferson County chief of detectives Kirk Vernon testified that KBI investigators had learned there were problems with the results of the polygraph test that Tom Bledsoe, Floyd’s brother, took.

A review of the polygraph results showed that Tom actually failed the question, “Did you shoot and kill Camille Arfmann?” In 1999, Floyd and his lawyer were told Tom passed the polygraph. Dunnaway subsequently told the media that Tom passed the lie detector test with “flying colors.”

When contacted by the Journal-World last

— have reopened The Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin St. The bar and grill reopened last weekend. Don’t let the new owners’ country music background fool you into thinking The Yacht Club is soon going to become The Country Club.

Neither a name change nor a format change is on tap.

“We would never change the name,” said Alex Adams, manager of the establishment.

“There’s too much history with the name.”

As for the music and feel of the place, the club is expected to focus on being laid-back, whether that involves country, rock or some other type of music playing from the jukebox.

“We just want to have an upbeat and good-time vibe,” Adams said. “We will always have music playing, we’ll always have games on, and we’ll have food, too.”

The business is rolling

“

It’s just kind of, unfortunately, one of those things. Mistakes just got compounded, but I think they were honest mistakes. I don’t think anybody did anything sinister.”

— Jefferson County Attorney Jason Belveal week, Dunnaway said he couldn’t explain some of the testimony.

“I can’t even see me signing anything like that,” Dunnaway said of the order that stopped the DNA testing. “There’s no way I would have stopped DNA testing. I like the truth, and whatever the truth is, get it out there and get it going.”

Dunnaway, who was Jefferson County’s sheriff for 25 years and retired in 2008, said he also remembered being told by the KBI polygrapher that Tom passed the polygraph and Floyd failed it.

“I was trying to figure out the truth — what is the truth and what isn’t the truth,” Dunnaway said of the investigation.

Mark K. Malick, senior special agent with the KBI, said agents and Jefferson County deputies are re-examining the case. Jefferson County detectives long believed that someone else had been involved in the girl’s death, and the new forensic tests now show that the DNA found on Camille’s socks matched

that of Floyd’s father.

“The KBI is re-examining the investigation that was conducted in 1999, and as part of that investigation, the KBI is looking for any additional investigative leads and/ or evidence which could be submitted for forensic testing,” Malick told the Journal-World last week.

The KBI has not said when it will finish its investigation. Malick said the KBI report likely will not draw any conclusions about how the original investigation was conducted.

Belveal, the Jefferson County prosecutor, said he expects the report will say: “Here is what happened, here is where the wheels came off. In the future we would suggest that these sort of things be handled differently.

“I doubt very seriously if they will say there was something sinister going on, and therefore we should look at some type of prosecution, you know, something internal.”

Belveal also said prosecuting Floyd’s father, Floyd Bledsoe Sr., would

out a new menu. It will have a heavy emphasis on bar food that can be delivered quickly.

That includes appetizers like Yacht Knots, which are a pair of Bavarian pretzels with a craft beer cheese sauce and bistro mustard.

Hamburgers with lots of topping options also are on the menu, as well as a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich called the Titanic Pork T. The club definitely will keep its sports bar theme with about 15 televisions, pool tables, shuffleboard and foosball, and the giant KU basketball scoreboard that hung on the wall for

so long remains in place.

The new owners — Kennedy and Whitney — have some experience in the bar and restaurant business. The duo also owns JT’s Sports Bar and Grill in De Soto, Adams said.

Plans call for the business to open at 11 a.m. each day and serve a lunch menu. The kitchen will close at 10 or 11 p.m., depending on the night.

The bar will remain open until 11 p.m. or 2 a.m. depending on the day of the week.

be difficult because the only evidence authorities have is the DNA found on Camille’s socks.

“The DNA on the socks, it’s a match for Floyd Sr., with apparent utter certainty,” Belveal said. “But I don’t think we can say any more than that with any degree of certainty. We can all speculate as to what the explanation is, but can you prove it beyond a reasonable doubt is obviously the question.”

In murder cases there is no statute of limitations. So if it could be shown that someone assisted in the murder, that person could be charged no matter how minimal their involvement or how much time has elapsed, Belveal said.

If the person’s involvement was after the fact, Belveal said that would be a “separate crime with very specific statute of limitations. But there are other ways to kick open the door on statute of limitations. For example, if you took active steps to conceal your involvement, that could potentially open the door. If I felt like we had a chance, I would run it up the flagpole.”

If Floyd Bledsoe wants to seek justice for his wrongful conviction, that may require a civil case, an attorney who has worked on such matters said. Barry Clark, a Ri-

ley County attorney who handled a wrongful conviction case in 2010 that netted $7.5 million for his client, said that’s typicalClaudean McKellips, ly how such matters are teacher at Lawrence resolved.

Clark said Bledsoe likely would have to show that law enforcement violated his constitutional rights by “deep-sixing exculpatory evidence” such as the DNA testing.

Bledsoe has said he is considering filing a civil lawsuit.

published studies pointing directly at volume and rate of injections as the main problem in such quakes.

In March 2015, Kansas regulators ordered a dramatic reduction in injection volumes in the most vulnerable area.

That same month, Oklahoma regulators directed the operators of 347 wells to check the depth of their injections, then three months later issued a broader order to avoid the Arbuckle’s “basement.”

But by the end of November, the state had asked for volume cutbacks in fewer than 90 of the about 1,000 wells in a key area.

Oklahoma Corporation Commission spokesman Matt Skinner said research suggested the biggest danger was in the crystalline basement below the porous underground Arbuckle formation.

He said it was not proper to compare Oklahoma to Kansas, which has fewer wells and less wastewater.

Oklahoma’s energy and environment secretary, Michael Teague, said Oklahoma’s approach — which now includes some volume reductions — is working in some areas but not others.

“I like what we’ve been doing so far, but clearly we need to do more,” Teague said.

But oil and gas operators in Oklahoma, where the industry is a major economic and political force, acknowledge their resistance to cutting back on their injections of wastewater.

“A lot of people say we just need the earth to stop shaking, and I understand that, but the fact of the matter is that without the ability to dispose of wastewater, we cannot produce oil and gas in the state of Oklahoma, and this is our lifeblood,” said Kim Hatfield, president of Oklahoma Citybased Crawley Petroleum and a member of Gov. Mary Fallin’s task force studying the earthquake problem.

In Kansas, quakes have decreased from an average of nearly 11 earthquakes a month to about three.

“Things are much better than they were; we haven’t had a 4.0 in quite a while,” said Kansas Geological Survey chief Rex Buchanan. “I don’t think anybody is going to declare victory yet.”

Experts say the change over such a short time period could be a blip.

But considering that southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma are identical in geology, what’s happening in the two states is “a very interesting experiment,” said U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Nicholas van der Elst.

The most recent temblors, including the one that caused power outages and some damage in the Oklahoma City suburb of Edmond on Dec. 29, has exhausted some residents’ patience for a solution.

When the quakes were mostly in thinly populated rural areas, it was “Who cares, right? It’s not in my backyard,” said Keith Gaddie, a University of Oklahoma political science professor. “But then you’re sitting in Edmond and all of sudden your $500,000 house starts to shake, shimmy and shutter. You’re noticing a lot more people are being affected by these, and more voices means more political demand.”

EDITORIALS

Democrats’ dilemma Even if most of their ideas fall on deaf ears, Democratic legislators owe it to the people of Kansas to propose some meaningful alternatives on state policy.

S

imply serving as the loyal opposition isn’t the best role for Democratic members of the Kansas House and Senate.

It’s understandable that Democrats, who represent a small minority in the Kansas Legislature, don’t want to spend the time and effort to draft complex legislative proposals that are likely to be rejected by the Republican leadership without ever receiving a hearing. But if Democrats don’t put forth plans of their own, they often are reduced to sniping at Republican proposals without being able to point to meaningful alternatives.

How they approach this issue reportedly is causing some division among Democratic legislators. Last week, the party’s House and Senate leaders released a list of “core values” they plan to fight for this year, but no specific proposals for how to achieve those goals.

Some Democrats disagree with that strategy, saying they should turn those “values” into legislation that states a specific direction even if those bills are quickly rejected.

Just as a matter of basic fairness, it seems wrong to simply criticize proposals without being willing to present a plan of your own. Even if Democrats believe their proposals will receive no attention in the Republican-controlled Legislature, they might be noticed by members of the public, which could start shifting popular opinion on some issues.

Putting together and publicizing those plans also could benefit the party politically. Some Democrats see little point to formulating policy plans until they increase their numbers in the Legislature, but people would be far more likely to vote for Democrats if they see them proposing positive strategies for the state. Republicans still hold large voting majorities in most parts of Kansas, and simply being against Republican policies without presenting solid alternatives isn’t likely to get many Democrats elected to the Legislature.

Democratic leaders apparently believe that there is no possibility that any major legislation they propose will have a meaningful impact on what is approved by the Legislature. They could be right, but even if they fail, they might make some points that resonate with fellow legislators or the people of Kansas. You never know unless you try.

Glib rhetoric won’t defeat terrorism Tampa, Fla. — There’s a scary disconnect between the somber warnings you hear privately from military leaders about the war against the Islamic State and the glib debating points coming from Republican and Democratic politicians.

The politicians fulminate about defeating the terrorists, but they don’t talk much about the costs or sacrifices that will be required. The generals and admirals, who have been at war for 15 years, know that success can’t be bought cheaply. Defeating this enemy will require a much larger and longer commitment by the United States than any leading politician seems willing to acknowledge.

My visit here last week to the headquarters of Central Command, which oversees all U.S. military activities in the Middle East, came as part of a conference organized by the Center for Naval Analyses, which provides research to the Navy and other services. The ground rules prevent me from identifying speakers by name, but I can offer a summary of what I heard. It’s not reassuring.

Military leaders know that they are fighting a ruthless adversary that has adjusted and adapted its tactics as the U.S. and its partners have joined the fight over the past 18 months. The jihadists have lost about 25 percent of the territory they held in mid2014, but they have devised innovative methods to compensate for their weakness.

Some examples illustrate

David Ignatius

davidignatius@washpost.com

“

The sobering reality of this conflict that politicians — and the American public — seem least willing to face up to is that it will require a decadeslong commitment.” the agility of Islamic State commanders: They have used tunnels and other concealment tactics to hide their movements; they have developed super-sized car bombs, packing explosives in bulldozers and other heavy equipment and sending them in waves against targets; they have deployed small drones for reconnaissance and may be preparing armed drones; they have used chemical weapons, such as chlorine and mustard gas, on the battlefield and may expand use of such unconventional weapons.

U.S. commanders have learned how difficult it will be to create a Sunni force that can help clear and hold territory in Iraq and Syria that’s now controlled by the Islamic State. Sunni tribal leaders mistrust the U.S.

and doubt American staying power. American efforts to avoid casualties and resist “boots on the ground” reinforce the sense that the U.S. is pursuing a strategy of containment, not victory.

One painful learning experience has been the Pentagon’s $500 million “train and equip” program to build a Syrian opposition force that can help assault the Islamic State and hold territory afterwards. That effort was collapsed last year because many expected recruits didn’t show up and the few who did were mauled on the battlefield.

Among the lessons learned are the difficulty of finding and training mature fighters; the shifting and unsteady combat environment in Syria; and the difficulty of working with regional partners, such as Turkey, that have their own agendas.

The deeper lesson is that training a reliable military force that adheres to Western norms and standards is the work of a generation, not a few months. The U.S. desire for quick results is an exercise in frustration and disappointment. The sobering reality of this conflict that politicians — and the American public — seem least willing to face up to is that it will require a decades-long commitment.

Paradoxically, America’s determination to protect its troops can be self-defeating.

Allies and adversaries see U.S. forces living in secure compounds, eating fancy chow and minimizing their exposure to potential ter-

rorist assaults. The U.S. may say it’s fighting alongside its allies, but on the ground, it often looks different. Actually living and fighting alongside our partners in Iraq and Syria will be much more dangerous, but it may be the only way to build a solid alliance that can someday eradicate the extremists.

Contrast these stern admonitions from the commanders who have lived the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts with the upbeat talk from political leaders. President Obama pledged that “priority No. 1 is protecting the American people and going after terrorist networks” and then said a few moments later that these networks “do not threaten our national existence.” That sends a mixed message — one that Hillary Clinton has echoed in her campaign.

Republican rants about the Islamic State are even worse, in that they promise total victory without suggesting the level of commitment and sacrifice involved.

The GOP responses sound tough, from Donald Trump’s “bomb the hell out of them” to Sen. Marco Rubio’s assurance in last week’s debate that “the most powerful military in the world is going to destroy them.”

The next president is going to inherit an expanding war against a global terrorist adversary. The debate about how best to fight this enemy hasn’t even begun.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 19, 1916: years “Now it is a muago nicipal skating IN 1916 rink, and Lawrence is the first town to kick in with this aid to the enjoyment of its citizens.

Mayor Francisco today ordered that the pool in one of the excavations made by the brick plant at the north edge of the city be flooded by the fire department, and the firemen made arrangements to carry out the order this afternoon.”

New mortgage crisis may be brewing Movie sequels are rarely as good as the original films on which they’re based. The same dictum, it appears, holds for finance. The 2008 housing market collapse was bad enough, but it appears now that we’re on the verge of experiencing it all again.

And the financial sequel, working from a similar script as its original version, could prove to be just as devastating to the American taxpayer.

The Federal National Mortgage Association (commonly referred to as Fannie Mae) plans a mortgage loan reboot, which could produce the same insane and predictable results as when the mortgage agency loaned so much money to people who had neither the income, nor credit history, to qualify for a traditional loan.

The Obama administration proposes the HomeReady program, a new mortgage program largely targeting high-risk immigrants, which, writes Investors.com, “for the first time lets lenders qualify borrowers by counting income from nonborrowers living in the household. What could go wrong?”

The question should answer itself.

The administration apparently believes that by changing the dirty words “subprime” to “alternative”

Cal Thomas tcaeditors@tribune.com

“

The administration apparently believes that by changing the dirty words ‘subprime’ to ‘alternative’ mortgages, the process will be more palatable to the public.”

mortgages, the process will be more palatable to the public. But, as Investor’s notes, instead of the name HomeReady, which will offer the mortgages, “It might as well be called DefaultReady, because it is just as risky as the subprime junk Fannie was peddling on the eve of the crisis.”

Before the 2008 housing bubble burst, one’s mortgage fitness was supposed to be based on the income of the borrower, the person whose name would be on the deed and who was responsible for making timely monthly

payments. Under this new scheme — and scheme is what it is — the combined income of everyone living in the house will be considered for a conventional home loan backed

by Fannie. One may even claim income from people not living in the home, such as the borrower’s parents.

If, or as recent history proves, when the approved borrower defaults, who will pay? Taxpayers, of course, not the politicians and certainly not those associated with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, whose leaders made out like the bandits they were during the last mortgage go-round.

As CNNMoney reported in 2011, “Mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac received the biggest federal bailout of the financial crisis. And nearly $100 million of those tax dollars went to lucrative pay packages for top executives, filings show.”

In case further reminders are needed of the outrageous behavior of financial institutions that contributed to the housing market collapse and a recession whose pain is still being felt by many, Goldman Sachs has agreed to a civil settlement of up to $5 billion for its role associated with the marketing and selling of faulty mortgage securities to investors.

Go see the film “The Big

Short” to be reminded of the cynicism of many in the financial industry. It follows on the heels of the HBO film “Too Big to Fail,” which revealed how politicians and banks were part of the scam that harmed just about everyone but themselves. According to The New York Times, only one top banker, Kareem Serageldin, went to prison for concealing hundreds of millions in losses in Credit Suisse’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio. Many more should have joined him.

Under the latest mortgage proposal, it’s no credit, no problem. An immigrant can qualify with a credit score as low as 620. That’s subprime.

And the borrower has only to put 3 percent down.

Investor’s reports, “Fannie says that 1 in 4 Hispanic households share dwellings — and finances — with extended families. It says this is a large ‘underserved’ market.”

Is this another cynical attempt by Democrats, along with protecting illegal immigrants, to win Hispanic votes without regard to the potential cost to taxpayers? Wasn’t that the problem during the last housing market collapse?

Could it happen again? Sure it could. Do politicians care? It doesn’t appear so.

With three of its four members being freshmen, the Bishop Seabury Academy debate team wasn’t expecting to earn many trophies in its first year competing after a two-year hiatus.

In addition, because the school doesn’t currently have a debate class, members had to practice on their own time. It was expected to be what they call a “building year” for the program, said freshman member Hilary Griggs, 15.

“It really wasn’t a big program, so no one really expected very much from us, but I think in the end we really showed that the program has value,” she said.

The Bishop Seabury four-speaker debate team placed third in the state tournament for class 3-21A over the weekend.

Competing for the team were junior Tristan Rethman and three freshmen who had not debated before: Griggs, Chloe Akers and Hanan Gusau.

This year’s topic was national surveillance, and teams argued whether the United States federal government should “substantially curtail” its domestic surveillance. Two students from the fourmember team took the affirmative side while the other two took the negative.

With three freshman debaters, Hilary said, the team had to start with learning the basics of how to debate before even beginning to study the topic.

“There was only one debater on the team who had actually debated before, so going into the first tournament we really had no idea what it was going to be like,” she said.

The team’s coach, Marshall Schmidt, is a math teacher at the school.

Schmidt was coaching debate for the first time with help from parent and assistant coach Pete Akers. Schmidt said it’s rare for schools without a debate class to have a team and the students’ success showed their level of commitment.

“The fact that they were able to rise to that challenge and still continue to stay engaged despite not having that structure there says something about the effort and dedication that they put in,” Schmidt said.

THE BISHOP SEABURY ACADEMY FOUR-SPEAKER DEBATE TEAM placed third in the state debate tournament for class 3-2-1A hosted by Independence High School over the weekend. From left to right: Pete Akers, assistant coach, Tristan Rethman, junior, Chloe Akers, freshman, Hilary Griggs, freshman, Hanan Gusau, freshman, and Marshall Schmidt, head coach. one of the biggest challenges for the team was making time to meet after school amid the other activities — cheerleading, basketball, theater — the members are involved in.

Both Hilary and Schmidt said they hope the team’s success this year will help the program to include a class and add members.

“I hope that the program continues to grow,” Schmidt said. “I very much appreciate all the work that my students put in and look forward to seeing how well they do next year.”

Kansas 6A tournament Lawrence and Free State high schools sent teams to compete in the Kansas 6A state tournament that also took place over the weekend.

Lawrence High’s fourspeaker debate team placed sixth. The team consists of senior Stefan Petrovic, junior Bridget Smith and sophomores Claire Walther and Chisato Kimura. Lawrence High debate coach Jeff Plinsky said that with a relatively young team compared with some of the other schools competing in 6A, the team did pretty well.

“You always hope to do better, but finishing sixth with a relative level of inexperience compared to other schools, we felt pretty good with the ultimate outcome,” he said. “Of course there is always room for improvement, and we’ll take strides to do even better next year.”

Three of the teams — Prescher and Lawrence, Liu and Swanson, and Harris and Yost-Wolff — made it to the elimination round, which placed them in the top 16, said Free State debate coach Jason Moore. Moore said the students gained experience that will help them next year.

“All in all, I’m very happy with how my students did,” Moore said. “I think that getting three of our four teams to elimination round is a great accomplishment. With the fact that there will likely be a student from each of those teams that will be back on my squad next year, I look forward to having a similar level of success next year.”

HOW LOW CAN GAS GO? 47 CENTS IN MICHIGAN Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

In a sign that super-low gas costs could be increasingly common, an apparent price war in a northern Michigan town brought weekend prices below $1 a gallon.

Lucky motorists in Houghton Lake, Mich., were able to fuel up with the ultra-low-price regular gas Sunday at the Beacon and Bridge Market. Prices fluctuated but briefly hit a low of 47 cents a gallon, according to GasBuddy, a

leading provider of retail fuelpricing information.

U.S. gas prices have trended steadily downward — falling from $3.58 a gallon to $1.89 in GasBuddy’s 18-month nationwide survey — as the international price of crude oil dropped below $30 a barrel.

Increased oil supply may send gas prices even lower. Iran’s oil ministers intend to boost oil production and ship 500,000 barrels a day after the weekend’s lifting of economic sanctions on the Mideast nation, the Islamic New

Agency reported. Iran ultimately plans to ramp up to production of 2 million barrels a day.

In Michigan, the low prices, well below the national average of $1.89 a gallon, may have stemmed from local competition. A Marathon gas station in Houghton Lake sold fuel for 95 cents a gallon Sunday, GasBuddy reported.

Police directed traffic in the area of U.S. 127 and M-55 because the lines of cars waiting to gas up were so long, WWTV News reported. The phenomenon didn’t last long.

By Monday, the price of regular at the two Houghton Lake stations was up to $1.46 and $1.47 a gallon, according to GasBuddy, which updates fuel prices at nearly 130,000 gas stations in the USA and Canada.

A phone operator who answered calls at the Beacon and Bridge Market on Monday said the fuel market director was not available for comment but acknowledged that many motorists had been pleased with the low price.

Some states near major oil re-

fineries have seen prices fall even further than the national average.

The average statewide price of gas is $1.65 per gallon in Alabama and Arkansas, slightly below the $1.67 price in Texas but above the $1.56 cost in Oklahoma, according to GasBuddy.

Not every part of the USA shares super-low prices. GasBuddy’s surveys showed the cost of a gallon of regular gas was $2.63 in Hawaii, $2.34 in Alaska and $2.76 in California.

State and local fuel taxes also play a role in gas prices.

Clinton media strategy follows BuzzFeed model Digital landscape requires more than a Facebook page and a few tweets

Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton’s campaign looks like a new media start-up.

The Democratic front-runner has a staff of dozens producing original content — including bylined news stories and professional video — all managed by an audience development team, a model similar to digital news pioneers BuzzFeed or Vox. A blog, called the “Feed,” anchored by five full-time writers, pumps out articles, interactive trivia quizzes, GIFs of Clinton’s late-night-show appearances and other content designed to engage supporters and court potential voters across social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat.

SEAN RAYFORD, GETTY IMAGES

“They seem to be trying to mimic a publisher,” said Michael Wertheim, an adviser to media and tech start-ups and a former strategy director at Upworthy.

President Obama’s team was the undisputed powerhouse of the 2008 and 2012 cycles. His digital mastermind, Teddy Goff, helms Clinton’s efforts, but Goff said succeeding in 2016 is far more challenging.

In past campaigns, “we felt that we could pretty much reach the people we need to reach by running a really good Twitter and

v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

The brother of Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian says he faces the challenge of reintegration. The family of retired Marine Amir Hekmati says his health was damaged by five years in prison. The wife of pastor Saeed Abedini says their marriage must heal.

The weekend release of five Americans by Iran has been followed by the reality of a sudden transition from captivity to freedom.

Three of the five were at U.S. military hospitals in Germany on Monday, undergoing evaluations: Rezaian, held since 2014; Hekmati, imprisoned since 2011; and Abedini, jailed since 2012.

A fourth American released in a swap for seven Iranians held by the United States is businessman Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari, who chose to stay in Iran. All four have U.S. and Iranian citizenship.

A fifth American, not part of the swap, is Matthew Trevithick, 30, held for 40 days. The Boston Globe said his family greeted him Sunday when he landed in Boston. Trevithick traveled to Iran for a language program. It is unknown why he was held.

Ali Rezaian told ABC’s Good Morning America on Monday that the family’s main concern is to ensure Jason “gets the right psychological treatment that he needs.” He said his brother was learning about the massive support generated in the wake of his imprisonment.

Nick Kaywork, a friend of Hekmati’s family, told Fox & Friends that the retired Marine, arrested after visiting his grandmother in Iran, was forced to confess to espionage. “He suffered long bouts of isolation,” Kaywork said.

Naghmeh Abedini, wife of the Idaho pastor jailed for proselytizing, told Boise TV station KTVB that their marriage has suffered since his arrest in 2012. “I’m proud of (Saeed) for ... not giving in,” Naghmeh said, but “the truth is we’re both humans, and there’s been very dark moments and issues in our marriage.”

Spike Lee, Jada Pinkett Smith say they’ll boycott Oscars Pair protest a lack of diversity in nominees Jaleesa M. Jones USA TODAY

The Oscars just lost two big stars. Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee won’t be attending, the two announced Monday on social media.

Smith initially contemplated skipping the 88th annual Academy Awards after her husband, Will, did not net a best-actor nomination for his turn as Dr.

Bennet Omalu in Concussion. The actress confirmed her intent to boycott in a video on Facebook.

“Maybe it is time we pull back our resources and we put them back into our communities, into our programs, and we make programs for ourselves that acknowledge us in ways that we see fit, that are just as good as the socalled mainstream,” she said.

“We are a dignified people and we are powerful — let’s not forget it,” Smith said. “So let’s let the academy do them with all grace and love and let’s do us differently.”

For his part, Lee took to Instagram to announce that he and his

wife would not attend the show.

Though he expressed his gratitude for the honorary Oscar he received at the Governors Awards in November, Lee took the motion picture academy to

task for the lack of diversity among this year’s nominees. “#OscarsSoWhite... Again,” his post opened, in a direct reference to the again-trending hashtag launched last year by Twitter user @ReignOfApril after actors of color were shut out of acting nominations.

“We cannot support it and (I) mean no disrespect to my friends, host Chris Rock and producer Reggie Hudlin, president (Cheryl Boone) Isaacs and the Academy,” Lee continued. “But, how is it possible for the second consecutive year all 20 contenders under the acting category are white?”

The Academy did not immediately respond inquiries from USA TODAY. Lee and Smith join a chorus of celebrities condemning awards shows for their seeming failure to recognize actors of color.

But one celebrity was celebrating a victory Monday. Ice Cube, who stars in the action comedy Ride Along 2, noted that his movie won the box office this weekend. It knocked Star Wars: The Force Awakens out of the top spot. He tweeted: “Who cares about SNUBS when you getting STUBS? #RideAlong2 is the no.1 movie in America!”

VOICES

AT DAVOS, IT’S NOT 2008 — YET

David Callaway USA TODAY

ZURICH Among the elite 2,500 executives and world leaders slouching toward Davos by train, Mercedes limo and helicopter this year, there is a single, depressing refrain — at least it’s not 2008.

There’s nothing to focus the mind of the collective corporate aristocracy like a markets crisis, and January 2016 hasn’t failed to deliver. While European markets were stable Monday after last week’s brutal sell-off, oil continued to fall as Iran prepares to dump 500,000 sanction-free barrels a day on world markets.

Expectations are low for Tuesday on Wall Street. Perhaps even lower than in 2008, when Davos week started with a surprise 0.75% rate cut by the Federal Reserve, to stem the subprime loan markets crisis developing at the time.

It failed to work.

Two months later, Bear Stearns would collapse, a scenario few in Davos were prepared for. Six months after that, Lehman Brothers would collapse, which nobody predicted.

Now, as in January 2008, few are willing to forecast anything beyond a market correction. Yet there is little sign of positive evidence for a rebound.

GIAN EHRENZELLER, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

The market turbulence at the start of the year will only distract corporate and world leaders at Davos, Switzerland, from more pressing world issues such as the migrant crisis.

China’s GDP numbers Tuesday are expected to be the worst in a quarter-century. U.S. earnings season is off to a bad start.

And oil’s free fall has kickstarted a selling spree by Middle Eastern sovereign funds, which hold more than $2 trillion in Western securities that could be redeemed to prop up ailing oil economies.

If all of this gloom seems like a screaming buying opportunity to you, then you’re thinking what I’m thinking. But for the moment, the money worries of the 1% will only distract this year’s attendees from the world’s more serious migrants crisis and battle against Islamist terrorism.

There’s nothing to focus the mind of the collective corporate aristocracy like a markets crisis, and January 2016 hasn’t failed to deliver.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel wisely bowed out of the mountain panel and party circuit this year to deal with the mounting turmoil in her coun-

try, but almost everyone else will be here. British Prime Minister David Cameron, facing an historic referendum on Britain’s membership in the European Union this summer, will make the rounds.

So will Alexis Tsipras, prime minister of Greece. And Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu is always a threat to show up.

Davos regulars Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, and Europe Central Bank President Mario Draghi will lead a beleaguered and bedraggled corps of central bankers.

Vice President Biden will make an appearance, as will Sec-

retary of State John Kerry, another regular. Even Leonardo DiCaprio is supposed to show, though he might be upstaged by the arrival of this year’s new superstar on the world stage, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

A shimmering cast of thousands, to be sure. No doubt the champagne will flow and the fiddlers will fiddle as deals are dashed off amid the snowy chaos. Each year there is usually a surprise news event that hijacks the proceedings — something nobody expected when they boarded the plane.

In 2008, it was the steep rate cut. Last year, it was the sudden decision by the Swiss National Bank to let the Swiss franc rise, resulting in an immediate 20% increase in the cost of everything in the country. Not that anybody in Davos noticed.

One could argue the Iranian hostage deal qualifies, but the world was expecting the lifting of sanctions, so I’m holding out for something else.

Maybe it will be good news.

General Motors CEO Mary Barra, perhaps, could announce a flying driverless car. Or, in keeping with this year’s theme of the fourth industrial revolution, maybe one of the tech companies will announce a breakthrough in virtual reality.

Because in actual reality, it’s looking to be a pretty rough start to the year.

Trump takes simpler tack v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Big Meadows in the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia will be filled with five of our celestial neighbors.

FIVE PLANETS WILL PUT ON A SHOW FOR EARTHLINGS Doyle Rice USA TODAY

Morning skywatchers will get a special treat over the next few weeks as five of the solar system’s other eight planets will all be visible at once with the naked eye in the chilly, predawn sky, weather permitting.

The five bright planets that will be lined up in a diagonal line, from left to right, are Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter.

Only distant Uranus, Neptune and Pluto won’t be in on the show. (While Neptune and Pluto can only be seen with a telescope, Uranus can occasionally be spotted with a sharp eye in a dark sky).

The stars Antares and Spica will also twinkle in the same part of the sky.

This is the first time that the five planets will appear in the same sky together since January

2005, according to EarthSky.org.

All five bright planets will appear together in the morning sky from about Jan. 20 to Feb. 20.

The waning crescent moon also will make an appearance toward the end of January.

Of course, bundling up is crucial, as this celestial spectacle occurs in what typically are the coldest hours of the day during the coldest weeks of the year.

You can check if the sky will be cloudy or clear over the next few days on the National Weather Service’s forecast page. At the left under forecast element, click on “Sky Cover” and hit play (blue means clear skies and gray means cloudy skies.)

Some good news for folks not wanting to brave the cold: These five planets will be in the evening sky later this year, from about Aug. 13 to 19, according to EarthSky.org. However, Mercury and Venus will be low in the west at dusk and not that easy to spot.

Facebook account,” he said. Obama for America built Facebook and Twitter followings of more than 45 million and 33 million, respectively.

People have more power over what they consume, Goff said.

They have “a higher set of expectations for how they’re going to be served,” he said, and are steering away from overtly political messages. “When you put those together, it’s a pretty difficult task.”

The Clinton approach is made possible by its resources, said Katie Harbath, Facebook’s global politics and government outreach director. Others are “having to be leaner, be more resourceful and deal with a smaller staff,” she said.

In this election, “resources don’t necessarily mean they’ll resonate more or create more of a discussion on the platform,” said Jenna Golden, Twitter’s director of political ad sales. While the Democrat’s Brooklyn-based team crafts images and stories optimized for mobile viewing targeted at both broad and specific demographic audiences, Republican candidate Donald Trump’s approach is more basic: He sits at his computer and sends out mis-

sives. Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s main rival for the Democratic nomination, has more overall digital interactions than Clinton.

Trump has posted more than 5,000 times since June, mostly on Twitter, according to CrowdTangle, a social analytics tool that monitors social media. Since June of last year, Trump has generated nearly 85 million interactions (positive and negative) on his campaign accounts, which include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. Sanders comes in at 34.6 million and Clinton at 31 million.

According to Facebook, Trump generated the most interactions across the social media network the week after his controversial proposal to temporarily ban noncitizen Muslims from entering the country. Clinton’s peak came the last week of October after a successful debate and a marathon performance before a House hearing on the attacks on Americans in Benghazi, Libya.

“Trump is absolutely dominating social this election cycle, and it’s not even close,” said Brandon Silverman, CrowdTangle chief ex-

Hillary Clinton and her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders talk after the candidate debate in Charleston, S.C., on Sunday. ecutive. “It’s a way to skip the media and go directly to his audience.”

Dominating the conversation doesn’t necessarily translate into votes. Trump and Clinton have “very different strategic goals,” Silverman said. While Trump is “brand building,” Clinton is converting her traffic into actions such as site registrations to acquire data critical to her get-outthe-vote efforts.

Whether the Clinton or Trump model is more effective will be part of the election postmortem, said Jake Horowitz, editor in chief of Mic.com.

“You have a very sophisticated operation, and then you have someone who’s a total monster with media attention, and they’re competing for attention across social,” Horowitz said.

A recent post getting a lot of clicks shows Clinton retelling in a speech the story of Army Capt.

Humayun Khan, 27, a Muslim American who died in Iraq after waving his unit away from a vehicle that exploded.

The video, set to background music, includes a cutaway shot to a visibly anguished man who, as Clinton speaks, bows his head and and chokes back tears as his fingers tweeze the bridge of his nose. It’s gotten more than 2 million views on Facebook.

There’s also a regular series, called “Quick Question” in which the candidate discusses fun topics, including lessons from her mother and what it’s like to watch football in the Clinton household.

“They catch her randomly, and she just answers. It captures her,” Goff said.

“They’re probably trying to get her to react in a genuine fashion and trigger some emotion,” Wertheim said.

Similar to what you’d find on BuzzFeed or The Huffington Post, Clinton’s site is interactive. In December, a quiz asked readers to guess whether certain statements came from Donald Trump or someone else.

Another notes her summer job

after college in Alaska “sliming” fish, or removing the guts from salmon with a spoon. Another featured five vintage photos telling “the story of how Bill and Hillary Clinton fell in love.”

Digital experts said social media success depends on authenticity. “The candidates who are willing to be more authentic and show who they are as a person get a lot more engagement,” Horowitz said.

TRUMP AT LIBERTY: ‘WE CAN REALLY DO SOMETHING SPECIAL’ David Jackson USA TODAY

Donald Trump made few changes to his standard stump presentation Monday to evangelicals at Liberty University, talking about his crowds, his polls, and his near-prediction that he will sweep early primaries en route to the Republican presidential nomination.

“When you’re in first place, you discuss polls,” Trump said in mocking critics who wonder why he begins nearly every speech with talk about his campaign support.

The New York businessman did say there would likely be a close race in Iowa, where some polls show him slightly trailing Texas Sen. Ted Cruz ahead of the Feb. 1 caucuses that open the GOP nomination process.

The billionaire said his campaign could well “surprise” people in Iowa, and “then we’re just going to clear the table,” starting with primaries in New Hampshire (Feb. 9) and South Carolina (Feb. 20).

“I think we can really do something special,” Trump said.

“This is a movement.”

As he has at other venues, Trump blasted current political leaders for weakening the military, making bad trade deals, and plunging the nation into trillions of dollars of debt.

“We’re mismanaged — we don’t know what the hell we’re doing,” he told students, employees, and supporters of the university founded by the late evangelist Jerry Falwell.

He did make a few nods to the religious nature of the crowd. At one point, Trump cited a Bible verse as “two Corinthians,” rather than “Second Corinthians.”

He also promoted his book The Art of the Deal as one of the best ever, but acknowledged that “the Bible blows it away.” In discussing the threat posed by Islamic State militants, Trump said at one point, “Christianity,

Parliament grapples with UK ban on Trump John Bacon USA TODAY

Britain’s Parliament held a boisterous debate Monday on a proposal to ban Donald Trump from the country in a rebuke of his call to block Muslims from entering the United States.

The topic drew plenty of support from the British lawmakers, who don’t actually have the power to ban anyone. The debate did allow members of Parliament to vent their frustrations.

“His words are poisonous and they risk inflaming tensions between vulnerable communities,” lawmaker Tulip Siddiq, a Muslim, told her colleagues in the House NICHOLAS KAMM, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

it’s under siege.”

Russell Moore, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention criticized the school over the Trump event, which featured a glowing introduction from school President Jerry Falwell Jr. “This would be hilarious if it weren’t so counter to the mis-

sion of the gospel of Jesus Christ,” Moore said in one of a string of tweets. In another, he said: “Trading in the gospel of Jesus Christ for political power is not liberty but slavery.”

But many saw it differently.

Toward the end of the speech, a Trump supporter yelled, “You make us proud to be an American again.”

That supporter, Scott Knuth of Springfield, Va., took the day off to attend his fourth Trump event.

“I just wish the rest of the country could see that he really wants what’s best for America,” said Knuth, a 49-year-old Christian. “This is about more than just about religion, and he’s given so many of us excitement for what’s to come in America.”

The Republican front-runner also praised the crowd at Liberty University.

“Such nice religious people,” he said at one point. “I love it.”

of Commons. “Hate crime is being inflamed by the words that Donald Trump is using.”

Another member of Parliament, Paul Flynn, cautioned that banning Trump could “fix on him a halo of victimhood.”

Trump raised the ire of British Prime Minister David Cameron after last month’s terror attack in San Bernardino, Calif., by proposing to keep Muslims out until more rigorous security checks are in place. More than 570,000 Britons signed a petition to ban Trump from the U.K. The proposal drew plenty of support, but no vote was taken. A decision to ban Trump would fall on Home Secretary Theresa May. If May did ban Trump, he would join Americans Michael Savage, banned in 2009 after being accused of fostering hate and violence, and Florida pastor Terry Jones, who made headlines in 2010 by planning to burn Qurans.

Jones was banned in 2011.

CAMERON SAYS MIGRANTS MUST LEARN ENGLISH

Prime Minister David Cameron on Monday attacked what he called “passive tolerance” of some people in Britain’s Muslim communities who support segregation and discrimination against women. He said his government would make it harder for migrants to remain in the country if they did not learn English.

The British leader wrote in an opinion piece for the (London) Times as part of a drive to counter what he said was, for many British Muslim women, “an alarming picture of forced gender segregation, discrimination and social isolation from mainstream British life.”

He said that some men in Britain’s Muslim communities prevented women from learning English and that starting from October anyone arriving in Britain on a five-year spouse visa will need to take a test, after two-and-halfyears, to prove their English is improving.

— Kim Hjelmgaard SEARCH IS ON FOR AMERICANS MISSING IN IRAQ

The U.S. State Department is cooperating with Iraqi security forces to locate and rescue three American contractors missing in Baghdad in the wake of reports that the U.S. citizens were kidnapped over the weekend.

There were conflicting reports on the kidnappings Saturday in or near the southern Baghdad neighborhood of Dora, an area where raids have been conducted

by Shiite militia, including those backed by Iran. Some unnamed sources told media that the three were kidnapped in the home of an interpreter, while a second report said the kidnapping occurred as the three were driving to Baghdad International Airport.

uThe University of Cincinnati announced Monday an agreement to settle outside of court the wrongful death lawsuit against the school in the shooting death of Samuel DuBose by a university police officer. As part of the settlement, the university will pay the Dubose family $4,850,000.

DuBose was shot and killed in July by Ray Tensing, who has since been charged with murder and fired from the university. uTwo Navy boats detained by Iran last week when they drifted into Iranian waters had veered off course before one of the boats experienced mechanical problems, the U.S. military said Monday. A statement by U.S. Central Command did not address why the boats initially deviated from their planned course or whether it was linked to the mechanical problems the one boat encountered.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani counted on the nuclear deal he promoted with world powers as a pathway to extend his influence and offset hard-line forces in his country.

U.S. and European leaders hoped the deal would boost Rouhani’s moderate bloc, particularly now that an end to international sanctions opens Iranian trade with Europe and Asia.

Rouhani found little shortterm political payoff from sanctions relief, which he called a “victory for the people of Iran,” according to Iran’s state-controlled Islamic Students News Agency.

Sunday, a day after the sanctions were lifted, Rouhani said he was “not happy” that only four of his candidates in Tehran in next month’s parliamentary elections were approved by Iran’s Guardian Council, according to Iranian reporter Rohollah Faghihi at Entekhab News.

The four are among 30 moderates approved to run, representing a mere 1% of all candidates, said Ali Vaez, an Iran analyst with the International Crisis Group based in London. The Guardian Council consists of members appointed by the supreme leader and parliament to vet candidates seeking office.

The nuclear deal has exacerbated political infighting in Iran between Rouhani and hard-liners who opposed the accord, and the clash “will get worse before it gets even worse,” Vaez said.

Two elections will be held in February for parliament and the Assembly of Experts, which selects a successor to supreme leader Ali Khamenei. In June 2017, Iran will choose a new president.

“The stakes in all of these elections are high,” Vaez said. “If the existing balance of power in the parliament is significantly tilted in favor of President Rouhani and his pragmatic allies, he will be in a better position to challenge other power centers. If the opposite happens, he might become a lame

Faghihi said the success of the nuclear deal should help Rouhani’s camp in elections, but “the country’s hard-liners still wield great influence and are widely expected to work to undermine Rouhani and the deal,” he wrote in an analysis published by independent news site Middle East Eye. As news of the deal broke Saturday, Iran’s state TV, controlled by Rouhani’s political rivals, barely covered the subject, Faghihi said.

The Fars News Agency, which is tied to Iran’s radical Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, carried defiant reactions from military generals to new economic sanctions the United States imposed Sunday over Iran’s ballistic missile tests last year.

Iran’s defense minister, Brig.

Gen. Hossein Dehqan, said Monday that Iran will soon unveil new missiles in defiance of the latest U.S. sanctions, Iran’s PressTV reported.

The new sanctions are “indicative of the continued U.S. hostile policy and acrimony toward the Iranian nation, and a futile effort to undermine Iran’s defense might,” Dehqan said.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran will respond to such propaganda and harassing measures with pursuing its legal missile program more seriously and enhancing its national defense and security capabilities,” according to the Fars News Agency.

“The country’s hardliners still wield great influence and are widely expected to work to undermine Rouhani and the deal.”

ILLINOIS Olive Branch: Floodwaters from the Mississippi River

BARRE CITY Deputy Jean Miguel Bariteau of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department spots the driver of a red hatchback using his cellphone. When Bariteau pulls him over, it’s a straightforward call to write a ticket. He saw the driver use his phone, and the young man behind the wheel admits it.

If the man behind the wheel had denied violating Vermont’s distracted driver law, checking the phone records would have helped the deputy make his case. But a search like that requires a warrant.

Lawmakers want to make it easier for officers like Bariteau to enforce Vermont’s 2014 ban on using hand-held devices while on highways. They’re asking Vermonters to give up some of their privacy in exchange for safer roads. But even the chief sponsor of the bill said he hasn’t “really thought about” what, exactly, would be fair game for a warrantless search under his bill.

H.527, introduced by Rep. Martin LaLonde, D-South Burlington, would allow law enforcement officers to see a driver’s phone or other electronic device, to see if it was being used.

“Essentially, it’s ‘show me your text log,’ ” he said.

SOUTH DAKOTA Mitchell: A new $15.3 million fine arts center is being built here. The Daily Republic reported that excavation began in June on the project, which will feature a 1,200-seat theater, rooms for the school’s music and drama programs and a smaller black box theater.

GLENN RUSSELL, BURLINGTON FREE PRESS

Deputy Jean Miguel Bariteau approaches a vehicle after stopping the driver for using a hand-held cellphone.

But opponents say the proposal goes too far, and even LaLonde said he isn’t sure if the bill can “thread the needle” between giving law enforcement better tools and protecting privacy.

LaLonde’s bill is an amendment to the 2014 ban, and like that act, it refers to “portable electronic devices.” Opponents worry this could lead to searches of tablets and laptops as well as phones.

No other state allows warrantless searches to combat phone use while driving.

MONEYLINE CHINA’S ECONOMIC GROWTH HIT 25-YEAR LOW IN 2015 China reported its lowest annual economic growth figures in 25 years Tuesday as the world’s second-largest economy slows on the back of decreased global and domestic demand. The Communist-led country saw its economy expand 6.8% in the fourth quarter and 6.9% in 2015 overall, the National Bureau of Statistics reported Tuesday. The annual figure was in line with government and analyst expectations, but it is lower than all years going back to 1990. China’s markets, which have been highly volatile of late, traded flat on Tuesday.

WHATSAPP DROPPING ITS $1 ANNUAL SERVICE FEE Messaging app WhatsApp said it is dropping its $1 annual service fee, raising questions about how the company plans to generate revenue for its new owner, social-networking giant Facebook. In a blog post MonAFP/GETTY IMAGES day, Whats App said it would continue to eschew “thirdparty ads” and hinted at plans to make money through “tools that allow you to use WhatsApp to communicate with businesses and organizations that you want to hear from.” WhatsApp said this could include chatting with a bank about a transaction, “or with an airline about a delayed flight.”

BMW GETS INTO CONCIERGE BIZ WITH DASHBOARD APP BMW on Monday said it is working on a digital dashboard application to let drivers locate restaurants, book seats and map out the best route. The cloud-based service, BMW Connected, reportedly will be rolled out in the coming months, Dieter May, head of the manufacturer’s digital services and business models unit, told reporters in Munich, according to Bloomberg News. Automakers have been beefing up efforts to compete with Silicon Valley in other ways as well, including investments in the race toward self-driving cars.

4 TELLTALE SIGNS POINT TO STOCKS’

DIRECTION Key data could give investors clues about health of markets Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

I

nvestors will be looking for a sign — any sign — telling them the market’s beatdown is either done or about to get much worse.

This week is pivotal for investors deciding if the market is a massive buying opportunity — or the beginning of something ugly — when U.S. stocks reopen for trading Tuesday.

In the U.S., it has been the worst start to a year for stocks in history, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 dropping 8%, Howard Silverblatt of S&P Dow Jones Indices says.

Stocks across Asia and Europe aren’t faring much better. The MSCI Asia Apex 50 index sunk another roughly 1% Monday and is off 11% this year. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index on Monday dropped to a 13-month low, Bloomberg says.

But this week brings a flurry of new data points and indicators investors will be closely examining. “Investors do have to pay attention to the economy,” Jack Ablin of BMO Private Bank says. “There are lots of moving pieces.”

Investors will monitor several data points, including: EARNINGS REPORTS

Market freakout moments have been cut short in past epi-

sodes by better-than-expected corporate profits. Companies have been on a multiyear profit boom — which has given them fuel to buy back stock and boost dividends. Fourth-quarter earnings season kicks off in earnest this week with reports from video streamer Netflix, International Business Machines and several banks, including Bank of America.

Investors aren’t expecting much. Quarterly profit from companies in the S&P 500 is expected to fall 5.9%, the second consecutive quarterly decline, S&P Capital IQ says.

DANIEL ACKER, BLOOMBERG

Bank of America will help kick off earnings season.

CREDIT MARKET SIGNS

Investors are increasingly demanding higher returns in exchange for lending money to companies. This is a major tipoff of investor unrest that also has been a harbinger of stock market trouble, says Rod Smyth, chief investment strategist at Riverfront Investment Group. Investors holding debt from the highest-rated companies are demanding 1.8 percentage points more in yield compared with comparable government debt. That’s up from 1.5 percentage points a year ago, according to data from Bank of America. “Until

credit markets say everything is OK, it’s hard for stocks to put in a low,” Smyth says.

XAUME OLLEROS, BLOOMBERG

The Chinese yuan has been a source of angst in the U.S.

CHINESE CURRENCY MOVES

Concern about the Chinese economy is a big reason behind the U.S. market’s decline. Investors will be looking to see if the China yuan finds any support at current levels and whether the exchange rate set by foreign traders rises to meet the exchange trade set internally in China, Smyth says.

Strength in the currency would tip off investors that worries about China are easing.

DIRECTION OF OIL PRICES

The free fall in oil prices is making investors jittery — hoping it’s not a sign the economy is worse than they think, Smyth says. While lower prices are cutting costs for most companies and consumers, seeing a major market collapsing makes traders nervous there could be ripple effects or other unforeseen consequences, Smyth says. The price of WTI Crude has tumbled 20% this year, closing below $30 Friday for the first time in 13 years.

World’s educated elites trust government, business more than general population Gap between rich, poor may be driving force in divide Donna Leinwand Leger

@DonnaLeinwand USA TODAY

As the gap between rich and poor widens, the general population remains more skeptical — and the world’s wealthiest and most educated people remain less skeptical — of institutions such as government, media and business, a survey of 33,000 people in 28 countries found.

The Edelman Trust Barometer, made public Monday in advance of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, by public relations giant Edelman, found a record 12-point gap between the wealthy and educated — what the survey calls the “informed public” — and the general population when it comes to their levels of skepticism.

Tech investors worried about how much China’s slowing economy will hurt their portfolios may want to keep a close eye on how markets react to its official fourth-quarter GDP number, expected Tuesday.

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, at an event in Beijing on Saturday, said the country’s gross domestic product grew about 7% in 2015, to more than $10 trillion, according to a report from Reuters.

That’s in line with economist estimates of 6.9%, but still down from official growth of 7.3% in 2014 and the slowest in a quarter century, the report said.

Exacerbating the situation is uncertainty over the exact rate at which China’s economy is cooling and how much faith to put in official numbers. Investors are also nervous about the confusing signals coming from China’s monetary policies in advance of its five-year plan, expected in March.

Working to lower rates on the mainland by allowing the yuan to depreciate vs. the dollar (to dampen effects of the slowdown) is at odds with raising rates in Hong Kong (by buying yuan) to stem the flow of capital through there.

THE NEW TECH ECONOMY

MARK SCHIEFELBEIN, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang valued GDP over $10 trillion.

The resulting confusion about just how much its central bankers are willing to do to prop up China’s slowdown is adding to market volatility.

Friday, Jonathan Brodsky of money manager Advisory Research told CNBC his firm believes China’s long-term growth rate is between 4% and 5%, which he deemed “healthy.” Problem is, until last summer, markets were pricing China assets based on higher growth expectations.

Some participants in stock and bond markets expect China’s number for non-performing loans (or NPLs) to ultimately be much higher than the 1 or 2 points on the books of its banks.

“The ‘real’ NPL estimate can get into the high single digits or even teens,” Brodsky of Advisory Research told CNBC on Friday.

Around the time Brodsky spoke, Intel shares were touching an intraday low of $29.45, having fallen more than 9% in the trading session after the company released its fourth-quarter results.

On a conference call Thursday, Intel CFO Stacy Smith reminded Wall Street analysts that China is now the world’s largest PC market. CEO Brian Krzanich called Intel’s markets in China and the rest of Asia “slow.”

People who say that what’s going on in China won’t affect Americans’ tech-stock portfolios may want to talk to Intel shareholders.

Or check out indexes of prices for commodities such as oil and industrial metals, which are at multiyear lows and still falling.

Their trajectories mean global markets are still adjusting to China’s new economic era — and how big a dent it’s about to put in global growth.

GE appliances gets Chinese owner in U.S. state of mind Haier gets ‘fantastic shot in arm’ with $5.4B acquisition Mike Snider @MikeSnider USA TODAY

GE refrigerators, as iconically American as the Coca-Colas cooling inside, will soon need to include an asterisk with their brand-USA claim.

New Chinese owner Haier has every incentive to keep that asterisk as small as possible.

The GE appliance unit’s U.S. presence — both the local manufacturing and the storied branding — is the appeal of the $5.4 billion deal, analysts say.

The unit and the 40-year license to use the GE brand are akin to “rocket fuel for Haier. It’s a fantastic shot in the arm,” said Alan Wolf, senior editor for TWICE magazine, which covers news in the consumer electronics and technology industries. “The U.S. is the hottest and the wealthiest market and a prize for any product manufacturer. That is why Samsung and LG have pulled out all the stops to grow their market share in this country.”

GE’s pedigree goes back to the light bulb and Thomas Edison.

Formed in 1892 with the merger of Edison General Electric and The Thomson-Houston Co., GE began marketing a full roster of heating and cooking products by 1907, giving it more than a century of brand equity in the U.S. “GE has been in this game since way before my mom was born,” said Richard Doherty, research director at The Envisioneering Group. “They and Westinghouse really ushered in the century with the idea of the electric kitchen and the electric laundry room.”

Haier hopes to parlay that lineage into a more esteemed and larger global and U.S. presence, executives indicated in a statement announcing the deal, which they expect to close midyear.

Today, the $5.9 billion-in-sales GE appliance unit has about 12,000 employees, most (97%) located in the U.S. at its Louisville Appliance Park headquarters in Kentucky and sites including Bloomington, Ind., LaFayette, Ga., and Decatur, Ala. Haier, based in Qingdao, China, has pledged to retain the GE appliances management team

and its employees in the U.S. That pledge prompted a big outpouring of relief from workers and Louisville leaders, who embraced the Chinese company’s decision to make the city its new U.S. headquarters, easing concerns of 6,000 workers worried about the alternatives. GE had been shopping around its appliance unit since 2008 and last month called off a potential sale to Sweden’s Electrolux.

Four years ago, GE began returning production of appliances to the U.S., such that more than 80% of GE’s appliances were made in the U.S. in 2015, Euromonitor analyst Feng Zhang says.

This move allowed GE to more loudly tout the largely Americanmade status of its refrigerators, washers and dryers. Haier’s acquisition gives it a “century-old brand asset and could, potentially, change the global major appliances market landscape,” Zhang said in a report Friday.

Haier, whose own roots trace to the 1930s, isn’t completely unknown in the U.S. It formed a U.S. subsidiary 16 years ago and opened a factory in Camden, S.C. But as a brand, it barely registers in the U.S. So Haier can continue to mine the U.S. market with its American-made credentials and use that same clout to increase sales in the faster-growing Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific markets, Zhang said.

The U.S. appliance market is now a mix of U.S. companies and non-U.S. owners.

South Korean electronics giants LG and Samsung continue to account for a growing share of U.S. appliance sales, edging in on their dominant U.S. competitors.

GE-branded appliances run neck-and-neck with Whirlpool among U.S. sales, with each controlling about 15% of the major appliance market, according to market research from Twice.

GE appliances, especially refrigerators, have been performing better amid the return to U.S. manufacturing, says Consumer Reports Senior Home Editor Dan DiClerico.

“We have seen a marked improvement in the performance,” he said. “Looking specifically at refrigerators, Haier hasn’t done quite as well. So you hope GE will rub off on Haier, rather than the other way around.”

TECH FACES HOUR OF RECKONING AS FUNDING DROPS, LAYOFFS RISE ‘Reality setting in,’ one investor says Jon Swartz @Jswartz USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Is tech in for a rude awakening this year after a magic-carpet ride the past few years?

The numbers, and recent actions by once-highflying startups, would seem to suggest so.

Consider: Mega-rounds, defined as funding of over $100 million for venture capitalist-backed companies, are in free fall. The rate of private start-ups attaining unicorn status — a valuation of at least $1 billion — is grinding to a crawl. Layoffs at tech start-ups, deemed Black Fridays, are rising.

Financial belt-tightening is the rule rather than the exception.

Bellwether tech stocks such as Apple, Google and Amazon have been taking it on the chin.

“It’s a time to re-calibrate — so many companies can’t burn extraordinary amounts of money forever,” says Sunil Paul, co-founder of Sidecar, a pioneer in the crowded ride-sharing space that shuttered operations Dec. 31.

Last year, Silicon Valley projected unbridled swagger.

Now “there is definitely an era of reckoning,” says Chris Sacca, a venture investor with stakes in Uber and Twitter. “Reality is setting in.”

A report from PricewaterhouseCoopers and National Venture Capital Association underscores the chasm: While last year was the second-best in two decades for venture capital investments, at $58.8 billion, the fourth-quarter figures marked the smallest amount invested since Q3 2014 ($11.3 billion).

Tom Ciccolella, PwC’s U.S. venture capital lead, says the decline in mega-deals is the first clear sign of a tamped-down market for funding. The number of deals of at least $100 million — 38 in the fourth quarter of 2015 — was roughly half the 72 in the previous quarter.

More than anything, 2016 marks a “shift to entrepreneurs valuing quality investors over optimized evaluations,” says Joe Horowitz, managing general partner at Icon Ventures.

A NEW, MORE SOBER, CLIMATE

Haier based in Qingdao, China, is a major player, claiming to sell the most units of appliances globally.

The shift in mood is illustrated in a spate of layoffs, closures, CEO changes and reduced market value for several start-ups.

says Charles Moldow, general partner at Foundation Capital.

“Things are cooling off.”

How cold? Fewer venture capital investments are echoed in lower pools raised by the VC firms themselves. The $3.3 billion venture capital firms raised in the third quarter of 2015 was 33% less than what they raised in the same quarter a year earlier, according to Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association’s Fundraising Report.

“Companies will still raise funding, but at lower valuations,” says Arianna Simpson, a Silicon Valley-based investor.

Tech start-ups are increasingly aware of: uLayoffs. GoPro trimmed 7% of its workforce last week.

Jawbone late last year slashed 15% of its staff, or 60 people, and closed its New York office. Living Social cut 20% of its staff, 200 people, in October. Note-taking app Evernote eliminated 47 jobs in September. Instacart, which tripled its workforce to 308 in 2015, laid off five of its nine recruiters and plans to scale back its hiring push.

“Unless you’re (an elite) uni-

corn, you will be forced to focus on fundamentals for spending, profitability and burn rate,” says Jeff Fagnan, a partner at Accomplice. “There is more introspection, and that’s a healthy thing for the (tech) ecosystem.” uReduced valuations. Roiling markets and tightened investments on big-funding rounds have caused investors to reassess the value of several start-ups.

Former $1 billion unicorn Gilt Groupe was acquired this month

by Hudson’s Bay for $250 million — less than the $280 million it raised in funding during its eightyear existence. In a valuation prior to the sale, Gilt’s worth was pegged at $600 million.

Foursquare, one of New York’s most heralded tech success stories a few years ago, last week secured $45 million in funding that Re/code says values Foursquare at $250 million, less than half the $650 million value it was assigned in a 2013 funding round.

(Foursquare has disputed the report.) Fidelity Investments values Dropbox at 17% less than what it was at the end of June. uScuffling IPO prices. Fitbit and Shopify now have stock prices at or below their openingday public debuts. Twitter, which went public in late 2013, is trading near an all-time low.

A DIFFERENT ERA THAN 2000

Reflecting their faith in Silicon Valley-based start-ups, investors poured $33.9 billion into the region’s start-ups in 1,963 deals last year, says Pitchbook, a market researcher. But activity was down sharply from 2,534 deals in 2014.

“We’re in a bit of a different bubble this time,” says Kon Leong, CEO of ZL Technologies, an email- and file-archiving company. “The exuberance now has a foundation” measured by market size and sales potential.

“Ultimately, metrics matter,” Moldow says.

There is a silver lining for companies fearful of a repeat of the dot-com crash 16 years ago.

Although Instacart exists in the same general market as Webvan, which went bust in 2001, its prospects are much brighter, Simpson says.

The Internet audience is significantly larger — 3 billion now, compared with 500 million in 2000 — and more consumers are likely to use delivery services than they did back then, Simpson says.

The Valley, like most industries, is built on cycles, says Horowitz of Icon Ventures. What goes up, he says, eventually must come down.

Why that Fitbit might not be so good for you Steven Petrow

@StevenPetrow Special for USA TODAY

Let me ask you two questions: uDid you get a Fitbit, Jawbone, or other health tracker over the holidays? uWas one of your New Year’s resolutions to walk more, get healthier?

I don’t want to throw mud in your eye or trip you up when you’re barely out of the gate, but those two resolutions just might not go hand in hand.

Why’s that, you ask?

Here’s the lowdown: Duke professor Jordan Etkin recently finished a study called “The Hidden Cost of Personal Quantification” that will be published in the April issue of the Journal of Consumer

Research. What she found sure surprised me, especially as a new Fitbit user.

Conventional thinking goes like this: If we have more information about how many steps we take, how many calories we burn and how many hours we sleep (or don’t), we can make changes to live happier, healthier lives. Alas, for us, Etkin discovered the “unintended consequences of personal quantification,” which she says may decrease our enjoyment in an activity (like walking), which then leads us to do less of it — certainly not healthier.

When I asked her how she came to do such a study she explained that she’d given her own dad, an engineer who likes numbers, a Fitbit to measure his steps, stairs and more.

“He seemed very focused on those quantitative outcomes,” she said, “and as a result he became much more stressed about how

Fitbit devices are good for long-term health, but the “unintended consequences of personal quantification,” can lead us to enjoy them less.

CHRIS RATCLIFFE, BLOOMBERG

much he walked.”

And it wasn’t just him.

“Even though tracking output can encourage us to do more,” Etkin said, “it also sucks the fun out of activities we previously enjoyed, which makes us enjoy them less and be less likely to

keep doing them in the future.”

By the way, if you’re hoping that her study doesn’t apply to the Apple Watch or the new Fitbit Blaze (a smartwatch set for release in March), think again. Said Etkin: “Yes, absolutely. The findings are relevant for any fun be-

havior that people start quantifying, regardless of the specific device used.”

The takeaway? uIf you’re a weekend warrior or the competitive type, keep right on counting and trying to outwalk your friends. uIf tracking feels like work, stop doing it: For instance, if you find yourself stressing out about the numbers, think again about whether the health tracker is right for you. Adding an evening walk to help reach your daily goal is a good thing — but doing it while angry and stressed because you “have to” is not a health plus. uMake your own decision: Don’t start tracking because everyone else is doing it or you think a tangerine-colored Fitbit will look good on your arm.

Glenn Frey’s smooth artistry defined the 1970s and beyond Elysa Gardner USA TODAY

The music world suffered yet another loss Monday, as singer/ songwriter/musician Glenn Frey, a founding member of the Eagles, died at 67 of complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia.

Frey’s voice — not as soulful or fluid as fellow Eagle Don Henley’s but forthright and appealing in its mix of smoothness and grit — was the one Eagles fans heard singing lead on hits such as Take It Easy, Tequila Sunrise, New Kid in Town, Heartache Tonight, Already Gone and Peaceful Easy Feeling.

Frey also played guitar and keyboards in the group and wrote or co-wrote a number of its biggest singles, including Hotel California, which he crafted with Henley.

Frey and Henley formed the Eagles along with bassist Randy Meisner and guitarist Bernie Leadon in 1971, after the four were

Glenn Frey, Don Felder, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit took the Eagles to artistic and commercial heights.

Freezes Over. The group has toured periodically since and remains one of rock’s most reliably hot tickets.

Frey was hardly idle in his time away from the group, embarking on a successful solo career in the 1980s. His 1984 album spawned the single Smuggler’s Blues, which inspired an episode of Miami Vice, in which Frey made his acting debut. Frey then wrote the light jazz-tinged hit You Belong to the City for the popular TV series. He contributed to other soundtracks and acted in other series, among them Wiseguy and Nash Bridges.

Frey’s most recent album was a collection of pop standards, 2012’s After Hours, which included tunes by Brian Wilson, Burt Bacharach and Randy Newman.

“I’ve written enough contemporary songs and spilled my soul and given my world view. I don’t have anything to prove,” he told USA TODAY at the time. But, he said, “That’s not to say that I don’t have any songs left to write.”

Henley, in a statement released after Frey’s death was announced, said: “Rest in peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some.”

Other than being the greatest pilot in the galaxy, you don’t really know Poe yet. But that’s going to change this spring.

Oscar Isaac’s Resistance flyboy from Star Wars: The Force Awakens gets his own Marvel Comics series in April with the ongoing Star Wars: Poe Dameron title, written by Charles Soule (Star Wars: Lando) and drawn by Phil Noto (Star Wars: Chewbacca).

Poe is one of the breakout characters of the biggest movie of all time, “so to see people reacting to him so strongly now just feels like we’re hopefully in a great position,” Soule says.

Adds Noto: “I’ve seen people on Twitter and Instagram looking for Poe Dameron in the comics.

Now the pressure’s on us to deliver.”

While the Internet has embraced Poe’s bromance with John Boyega’s Finn in the movie, the new comic will focus on the leadup to the opening scene of The Force Awakens, which saw Poe seeking out mysterious traveler Lor San Tekka (Max von Sydow)

on the planet Jakku for a key to finding the missing Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill).

The series will dig into Poe’s status as the top X-wing fighter jockey for General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) and leader of a squadron with an important mission. But the evil First Order also has a goal of finding Luke, and a new villain from the organization is introduced as Poe’s chief nemesis.

“Sometimes it can feel like the Star Wars universe is so welltrodden and so many stories have already been told,” Soule says.

“But the way the Episode VII galaxy is set up, there are opportunities for new archetypes almost, and the bad guy we’re working with is going to feel fresh and cool.”

He and Noto promise to flesh out more of Poe’s personality, explore locations new and old in the Star Wars galaxy, showcase legacy characters and other rookies — Poe’s lovable droid BB-8 is one of the comic’s co-stars, and Soule teases appearances from other new X-wing pilots — while also bringing depth and expanding the world of The Force Awakens.

“It’s not as instinctive in some ways as writing a story about, say, Lando Calrissian was for me — I’ve been thinking about Lando Calrissian for 30 years, whereas Poe Dameron I’ve been thinking

about for six months,” says Soule, who likens the upcoming comic to a Mission: Impossible movie with Poe in the lead.

Noto is working with a lot of visual X-wing reference material for space battles, but for Poe’s look, he’s studying Isaac’s filmography.

“Seeing so much of him on screen, it’s easier in a way to act that part out in my head while I’m drawing: How would Oscar Isaac act in this situation as Poe Dameron?” Noto says.

Comic fans actually got a lesson in Poe’s backstory before The Force Awakens hit theaters. The Shattered Empire miniseries starred his Rebel Alliance parents, A-wing pilot Shara Bey and soldier Kes Dameron, in the aftermath of Return of the Jedi, plus hinted at Poe’s childhood on the Rebel base on Yavin IV with a Force tree in his yard.

Soule doesn’t envision writing a bunch of flashback scenes. Instead, he wants to reveal Poe’s persona through the way the confident pilot approaches situations and his relationships to other characters and the Force itself.

“It’s silly not to explore the idea of a guy who grew up steeped in the Rebellion and the older Republic and all of those myths and legends,” Soule says. “If you think about it, he grew up the way we did, hearing all of these stories.”

Double Take

Dr. Wes Crenshaw and Gabe Magee

When picking a major, passion or practicality?

Dear Dr. Wes and Gabe: You recently tweeted from @wescrenshawphd: “I push the practical in #college major selection because passion is rarely lacking at this juncture.” I usually love your tips, but on this one, really?

Don’t kids have their entire working lives to have the passion beaten from them?

Wes: After World War II, the U.S. government decided to give back to veterans a small measure of what they gave us on the battlefield by paying for their education, and a whole generation of young people became college students. We forget that this was a really radical idea at the time — that society should be interested in the higher education of its young adults and might vest itself in that education beyond what resources those students and their families could provide.

Over the next 50 years, that ideal has grown to encompass not just veterans but every student graduating from high school, to the point that we are now discussing free public education for at least the first two years of college. That’s great. I’m a huge proponent of higher education, though I find that anything given for free is taken less seriously than if one writes a check him or herself. When that purchase comes from someone other than the student — the taxpayer, an endowment, or a parent’s college account — the student should expect a reasonable discussion of both what the student wants out of education, and what he or she is going to give back, most notably the ability to live and thrive independently.

By definition, that means one’s education cannot only be about passion. It also has to be practical in offering a sustainable financial future. If you don’t like that idea, please take a look at skyrocketing student debt, a fair portion of which is spent on degrees from private and public institutions that do not easily turn a paycheck for the graduate.

We’ve debated this many times in this column, and I remain resolute: There is never a lack of heartfelt passion when it comes to major and career selection. Why wouldn’t there be? Who doesn’t want to do what he or she wants to do? The trick is figuring out how to bend those dreams into a realistic framework for life success, allowing

About 26 percent of breast cancer deaths each year are attributed to a diagnosis after age 74, according to the American Cancer Society.

“The question we have not really studied very carefully is what fraction of those deaths is truly avoidable,” Smith said.

Mammography does decline as women get older. About three-quarters of women age 50 to 74 have had a mammogram within two years, compared with 41 percent of the 85-plus group, according to 2013 government figures.

Mammograms bring pros and cons for the oldest women like they do for middle-aged ones: the possibility of reducing breast cancer death versus false alarms, unneeded biopsies and detection of a tumor so small or slow-growing that it never would have posed a threat.

Georgetown’s Mandelblatt used math models to analyze that balance, and estimated that healthy older women could benefit from regular screening through age 78 or 80. But among women who already had other moderate to severe illnesses, the harms of screening could outweigh benefits as early as 68, she said.

If cancer is found in the frail, Mount Sinai’s Boolbol notes there are less aggressive options that aim to stop a tumor’s growth rather than eradicate it.

She wants doctors and patients to have frank discussions about the woman’s overall health in deciding how long to continue mammograms.

“It really needs to be based on their health status, and not your age,” Boolbol said. “Because it’s not one-size-fits-all.”

New sport, wellness center opens at Sports Pavilion

By Janice Early Lawrence Memorial Hospital

Lawrence Memorial Hospital is taking steps to shift some of its focus from sick care to well care.

Whether a student athlete wanting to improve strength, a senior citizen wanting to maintain balance or someone just wanting to make healthy lifestyle changes, the new LMH Performance and Wellness Center at Sports Pavilion Lawrence was created to fulfill a mission to offer health and wellness programs for the community.

“We’re starting to get deeper into population health and looking at programs that meet those needs,” said LMH Chief Operating Officer Karen Shumate. “We’re also consolidating a lot of our wellness activities that we already have through Community Education and then building on that.”

Aynsley Anderson Sosinski, the hospital’s community education coordinator and a Mayo Clinic-certified wellness coach, said LMH will be doing more health screenings, educational programming and wellness coaching at the new

Free open house wellness center, which opened Jan. 4 in Suite 100 of Sports Pavilion Lawrence, 100 Rock Chalk Lane. The center is accessible from either outside or inside the Sports Pavilion facility.

“We’re also going to start offering wellness coaching for the public,” she said. “Wellness coaching is helping people make and achieve goals for lifestyle changes.”

To introduce the community to the new LMH Performance and Wellness Center, there will be a free, public open house from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Jan. 26 at Sports Pavilion Lawrence, 100 Rock Chalk Lane. Officials from the city, the Lawrence chamber of commerce and the hospital will participate in a ribbon cutting at 4:30 p.m., followed by refreshments, tours and giveaways.

LMH also has moved its sports performance training program for student athletes from the hospital campus to the new location.

Jaye Cole, director of LMH Therapy Services, believes the move makes sense. “When you think about performance

Dear Annie: My half-brother and his wife are old enough to be my parents. He is quite well-to-do and so are his children. I am only six years older than his oldest child and have always felt more like one of his kids than his sister, especially after my parents died.

However, I am never invited to spend holidays with them. I was widowed 25 years ago, and one of my children has since passed away. My brother and sister-in-law have gifted me $300 each year on my birthday, and although it would give me great pleasure to reciprocate, they rarely allow me to do so. Last month, they discouraged me from giving them gifts for Christmas, which I understand. They are

trying to pare down their belongings.

Last year, I saved up and gave them a $100 gift card. I thought I’d hit on the perfect present. But this year, my sister-in-law said bluntly, “Don’t be coming in here with presents like last year.

Save your gift cards for your daughter. The money we give you is for you — not to be returned to us.”

After that call, I spiraled into a depres-

‘Galaxy Quest’ is on Netflix We lost Alan Rickman last week. The remarkable British actor was best known for his roles in the “Die Hard” and “Harry Potter” franchises, but I always liked him best in “Galaxy Quest.”

In that 1999 comedy fantasy, he played Alexander Dane, a bitter and pompous Shakespearean actor stereotyped by his supporting role in a since-canceled TV show. For those who haven’t seen it, “Galaxy Quest” is currently streaming on Netflix.

The ardor of passionate fans is a good reason why tonight’s network TV schedule reads like a brochure from Comic-Con. Tonight’s offerings include the pop culture retrospective “Marvel’s Captain America: 75 Heroic Years” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-PG), followed by the second season premiere of “Marvel’s Agent Carter” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

Karla Cavalli hosts “Planet Primetime” (7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Travel, TV-PG), a light take on some of the more curious and outrageous TV hits and trends from around the world. Over the course of the first season, the show will explore Colombia’s obsessive beauty pageant culture, Brazil’s “Miss BumBum” competition, India’s Bollywood sitcoms, Russia’s competitive TV psychics, Israel’s political satires and other peculiar fare. First up (7 p.m.): Japan’s elaborate and strange game-show culture, followed by Mexico’s addictive telenovelas.

“American Experience” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-14, check local listings) presents a documentary history of “Bonnie & Clyde.” It begins with newsreel footage of Clyde Barrow’s 1934 funeral, thronged by thousands of onlookers. Period stills and news footage are enhanced by interviews with descendants of the criminal couple and the sheriff who gunned them down. The hourlong film recounts Barrow’s squalid upbringing and brutalization in a Texas prison, as well as Bonnie’s relatively comfortable childhood, penchant for writing poetry and obsession with movies.

Tonight’s other highlights

Accusations abound on

“Pretty Little Liars” (7 p.m., Freeform, TV-14).

Audacious performers return for a second season of “The Prancing Elites Project” (7 p.m., Oxygen).

“Friday Night Tykes” (8 p.m., Esquire, TV-PG) takes a documentary look at juvenile football leagues in Texas.

Dean attracts offers from a rival firm on “The Grinder” (8:30 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

A mission to Quantico on “Limitless” (9 p.m., CBS, TV14).

A tornado looms on “Chicago Fire” (9 p.m., NBC).

“Frontline” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) looks at the potential dangers of dietary supplements and vitamins.

sion that lasted for days, and the holiday was ruined. All this one-sided gift-giving makes me feel like a charity case. I always accept the money and send an immediate thank-you note, and I will continue to do so. But other than my daughter, they are the only family I have.

Their kids and I do not communicate. Is there any way to fix this?

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Jan. 19: This year you will be far more charming than you have been in many years. People who disliked you will decide that they were wrong. If you are single, your innate mischievousness emerges, making you fun to be around. If you are attached, you’ll find that your relationship with your sweetie heats up.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You rarely are at a loss for words, but today offers a situation that could leave you speechless. Tonight: Meet up with a pal.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might be juggling your finances with care, yet you still might see them fall apart right before your very eyes. Tonight: Avoid prejudging, and watch what happens.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Take a walk behind the scenes and make a decision if you want more from a certain aspect of your life. Tonight: As you like it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might be taken aback by everything that is going on around you. Reflect, but don’t put off responsibilities. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Stay in touch with what the majority want as well as what you want. Tonight: All smiles.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

find this demeaning.

The age difference makes a relationship difficult and awkward, but you both seem to want to stay in contact, so here’s our advice for gift-giving: Do not give cash or gift cards. Instead, bake cookies or create a homemade holiday ornament. Write them a letter expressing how important they are to you, how much you hope to remain close, and that being able to reciprocate for their kindness brings you joy. That will mean more to them than any present.

Tonight: Be entertained.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) One-on-one relating opens doors and allows you to see your world differently. Allow the whole story to emerge. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Let others run with the ball, as it will give you more time for what you want. You’re quite capable of self-deception. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Whatever you need to get done, whether it is for you or for others, will be high on your agenda. Tonight: Better a late dinner than no dinner.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You express a creativity that others often don’t know how to respond to. You might need to explain yourself. Tonight: You can’t be restrained.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might feel pressured to perform at a higher level. Tonight: Make dinner fun and memorable.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Wings must step up for KU Stillwater, Okla. — Four Big 12 schools have either been ranked No. 1 or defeated a team ranked No. 1 in the past seven days.

That pretty much clinches it.

The Big 12 is the nation’s best college basketball conference, not to mention the most exciting, given all the dramatic finishes.

West Virginia topped No. 1 Kansas a week ago today, and Iowa State knocked off No. 1 Oklahoma on Monday night. Baylor, by the way, entered the week in a fourway tie for first place.

Anyone not convinced of the power of the Big 12 should consider that Oklahoma is the nation’s top-ranked team and in six conference games has scored just 10 more points than it has allowed.

The average score for the Sooners (4-2 in the Big 12) is 83.3-81.7. Except for a 10-point victory vs.

Kansas State, every OU conference game has been decided by five points or fewer.

So nobody, not even the school bidding for its 12th consecutive Big 12 title, is cruising to a first-place finish this season.

More than just development of Kansas University’s promising freshman big men, who are coming off encouraging yet inconclusive performances against TCU, will need to take root for Kansas to establish itself as the clearcut favorite to win the conference.

Watching Bill Self search for the right big-man mix has been so compelling that a lesser, yet still real concern has escaped the spotlight.

KU’s perimeter depth hasn’t quite matched preseason expectations.

Junior Brannen Greene and sophomore Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk have had their moments, but both players need to take a step forward soon, make their impact felt in a louder way, a way that could result in more rest for Frank Mason III. Sure, Greene has shot 60 percent from threepoint range, but Kansas could use more than the 4.6 points per game he has scored in conference play.

He also needs to secure the basketball better. In 67 minutes in Big 12 games, Greene has committed eight turnovers and eight personal fouls and has had at least one of each in all five games.

Mykhailiuk, 18, has improved significantly, runs the floor well, keeps the ball moving and has become a driving threat. He has shown signs of improving as a three-point shooter, but still isn’t knocking them down nearly as well in games (.339 percentage) as in practice. Against quick teams, he tends to pile up fouls quickly.

It’s time for Greene, Svi, or both to come up big tonight in Stillwater.

With Forte out, Evans becomes OSU’s leader

By Gary Bedore

Stillwater, Okla. — Oklahoma State’s basketball team, which was picked to finish seventh in the Big 12 in the preseason coaches poll, enters today’s 6 p.m. home game with Kansas University tied for eighth with Kansas State with four losses in five tries.

“Obviously, they miss Forte,” KU junior guard Frank Mason III said of 5-foot-11, third-team all-conference selection Phil Forte III, who played in the squad’s first three nonconference games — all OSU victories.

The Flower Mound, Texas, native suffered a torn ligament in his left, non-shooting elbow against Towson on Nov. 19 and will likely miss the rest of the season.

“He’s an unbelievable shooter. We’ll respect whoever is in his position (and) play scouting report. That gives us the best chance to win,” Mason added.

Another guard — 6-foot freshman Jawun Evans — has stepped up in Forte’s

Stop and think about that ... he could have had 60. We’ve got to do things better. Frank is not aggressive at all right now. Somehow we’ve got to get him being aggressive again.”

Of Evans, OSU coach Travis Ford said Monday: “He seems to rise to the occasion, whether we need points or assists. He had the big game scoring. Handling the ball and doing different things for

Evans, who averages 12.4 points a game off 44.8 percent shooting (83 assists, 41 turnovers), scored an OSU-freshman-record 42 points off 18-of-31 shooting (2-for-2 from three) with six assists, five turnovers and seven rebounds in a 74-72 home loss to Oklahoma on Jan. 13 in Stillwater.

In the only game since then, Saturday’s 74-69 loss

at Texas, Evans had 12 points off 4-of-13 shooting with eight rebounds, seven assists and two turnovers.

“Obviously, he’s a good player to have 42 on OU,” Mason said. “I don’t know much about him. I’ve watched him a few times. He’s a good player, a McDonald’s All-American (ranked 36th in Class of 2015 by Rivals.com). He has good teammates around him.

Royals, Cain finish $17.5M, 2-year deal Kansas City, Mo. — The Royals finalized their $17.5 million, two-year deal with Lorenzo Cain on Monday, buying out the All-Star outfielder’s final two years of arbitration.

Cain will receive $6.5 million this season and $11 million next season.

The 29-year-old Cain is coming off the best year of his six-year career, hitting .307 with 16 homers and 72 RBIs. He also was second in the American League with 28 stolen bases, and he became the first Royals player since 2011 to eclipse 100 runs scored.

The result of that landed Cain third in voting for the AL MVP award.

Cain also started all 16 postseason games in center field, batting .258 with two doubles, a homer and 11 RBIs as the Royals won their first World Series championship since 1985.

The Warriors built a 30-point lead in the first half SOUTH and bounced back from a shocking loss in Detroit over the weekend by winning their fifth straight over Cleveland.

Only a late flurry of points helped the Cavs avoid their worst home loss in franchise history. LeBron James led Cleveland with 16 points.

Kansas University vs. Oklahoma State Probable Starters

OKLAHOMA STATE COACH TRAVIS FORD QUESTIONS A CALL during the Cowboys’ 74-69 loss against Texas on Saturday in Austin, Texas.

It’s getting better for me,” Evans said.

our team have been just as important.”

OSU senior guard Jeff Newberry averages 12.4 points and 5.2 rebounds (with 25 steals). Junior forward Leyton Hammonds averages 10.3 points and 5.1 rebounds, while sophomore forward Jeffrey Carroll averages 8.8 points and sophomore forward Mitchell Solomon 3.3 ppg.

“We’ve got to come with a whole different mindset,” Mason said.

“We’ve lost the first two at Oklahoma State since I’ve been here. I think coach Self is 3-5 since he’s been here. We want to get on a roll and start winning.”

Indeed, KU has dropped two in a row and five of eight in Stillwater during the Self era. KU, however, has won eight of the last 11 overall versus the Cowboys. Self is 13-7 overall vs. OSU in his time at KU, while OSU coach Ford is 4-9 against KU. “People talk about us having not played well in Morgantown (three straight losses). We’ve not played well in Stillwater, for the most part, since I’ve been here,” Self said. l

Production: Evans spoke to the Oklahoman about his incredible game versus OU: “It was just that kind of game. I started off hitting shots.

Usually, I start off kind of slow. But this game, I started off hitting shots, getting to the basket. It just triggered on to the second half. It’s slowing

Leyton Hammonds, on the loss of Forte: “A lot of our plays weren’t necessarily directed toward Phil, but they help us get open because so many people draw to Phil. He’s a great three-point shooter. The lane was open a lot, because people were hedging and denying him.

We don’t have that guy out there that people are worrying about so much.

It’s taken awhile to adjust, but I feel like we’re getting the hang of it now.” l

Self on KU’s lack of energy the last two games against WVU and TCU: “We’ve looked fatigued the last two games, to be real candid.

BRIEFLY Kansas tennis blanks two foes Kansas University’s women’s tennis team started the 2016 dualmatch season with a pair of dominating wins over Nebraska-Omaha and Drake on Monday at the Jayhawk Tennis Center.

The Jayhawks won both matches by 7-0 scores.

Kansas coach Todd Chapman was pleased with KU’s season-opening performance.

“I thought today was a good day,” Chapman said. “We took care of the business we needed to take care of by starting the season off 2-0.”

Kansas started the day with easy doubles wins against Nebraska-Omaha from Nina Khmelnitckaia and Janet Koch, Maria Jose Cardona and Summer Collins and Anastasiya Rychagova and Smith Hinton. In singles, Rychagova, Hinton, Khmelnitckaia, Collins, Koch and Cardona were winners in Nos. 1-6 play.

The Jayhawks duplicated the shutout versus shorthanded Drake, which defaulted at No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles.

IOWA STATE FORWARD JAMEEL MCKAY CELEBRATES the Cyclones’ 82-77 victory over topranked Oklahoma on Monday in Ames, Iowa.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

ISU upends Sooners ————

Top-ranked OU, Duke tumble The Associated Press

No. 19 Iowa State 82, No. 1 Oklahoma 77 Ames, Iowa — Another No. 1 team came to the state of Iowa.

Another No. 1 team left with a loss.

Georges Niang scored 22 points, Monte Morris added 20, and Iowa State beat top-ranked Oklahoma on Monday night, its first win over a No. 1 team since toppling Wilt Chamberlain’s Kansas Jayhawks in 1957.

Morris had a jumper, a key rebound and two free throws in the final 21 seconds for the Cyclones (14-4, 3-3 Big 12), who were actually slight favorites at home.

It was the third time a No. 1 team lost within Iowa’s borders this season. Northern Iowa beat North Carolina, and Iowa beat Michigan State.

“Basketball is alive and well here. Basketball is at an elite level in Iowa,” said Niang, who grew up in Massachusetts.

Oklahoma, which moved to No. 1 earlier Monday for the first time in 26 years, didn’t go down quietly. Isaiah Cousins hit a three with 41 seconds left to tie the game at 75.

But Morris drilled a stepback jumper for the lead, and Abdel Nader’s free throws with 3.1 seconds to go put it out of reach.

Buddy Hield scored 27 points, and Cousins had a career-high 26 for the Sooners (15-2, 4-2). They could make a case for retaining the top spot with a win Saturday at No. 13 Baylor.

Oklahoma’s two losses came in two of the toughest places to play in the country. The Sooners fell in triple overtime at Kansas in arguably the best game of the season so far.

“We came ready to play.

But Iowa State had more fight than us,” Hield said.

Iowa State nearly beat Oklahoma on the road in the Big 12 opener earlier this month. The Cyclones led for 30 minutes, but Morris missed a wideopen three with six seconds left, and the Sooners escaped 87-83.

This one was just as entertaining.

Nader scored 20 points for the Cyclones, who won despite allowing Oklahoma to hit 10 of 16 threes in the second half.

Iowa State has now won two straight after a 1-3 Big 12 start that threatened to derail its league title hopes.

“They all stuck together, and it just shows our character,” Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said.

“It’s about the players, and (Niang and Morris) were tremendous.”
