PERRY-LECOMPTON HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL MIKE COPPLE AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT are instituting random drug tests this year for students wishing to participate in extracurricular activities, such as sports and clubs.

Approximately Perry-Lecompton High School students must now submit to random hair tests checking for drugs or alcohol to continue participating in extracurricular activities.

City commissioners will have the final say Tuesday on whether a new gun range can be located in a spot on the southern edge of Lawrence near the school district’s College and Career Center — a proposal that has pitted the school district against the local businessman behind the idea.

Commissioners will have to decide between following up on a recommendation by the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission to reject the proposal because of the site’s proximity to the school, and their staff’s support for the business, the location of which they say is legal according to federal, CITY state and COMMISSION city laws.

“I’ve been talking with some of the city commissioners and going over some stuff,” said Rick Sells, who’s proposing the range. “There’s a lot of stuff they’re going to

Sells plans to open the indoor shooting range and gun sales and repair shop in the vacant building at 1021 E. 31st St., about 760 feet away from the Lawrence College and Career Center at 2910 Haskell Ave. The center is attended by hundreds of students from both high schools.

The property at 1021 E. 31st St. is currently zoned as industrial. In order to locate the business there, Sells is seeking to rezone it to commercial.

Behind-the-scenes staff makes Legislature run on time Lawmakers to convene for 2016 session today

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Although Kansas lawmakers don’t officially return to work until today, Judith Holliday was already at her desk in the Statehouse last week, getting ready for the session.

This will be Holliday’s ninth legislative session.

And although she is not an elected official and seldom draws any outside attention, she says she has gotten hooked on being around the legislative process.

“It kind of gets in your blood,” she said Friday while an IT technician was helping her resolve a computer problem.

“You come down, and the

camaraderie between the secretaries and the office assistants is really great.

A lot of us in here know somebody from another job, and we get to know the rest of them, and it’s really good.”

Holliday is among the more than 200 temporary Peter Hancock/Journal-World Photo workers who come to the JUDITH HOLLIDAY has worked during legislative sessions at Statehouse every year and perform jobs that Please see LEGISLATURE, page 2A the Kansas Statehouse since 2006.

journal and calendar, not to mention the pair of women who coordinate the thousands of school kids who come to serve as legislative pages for a day.

“It’s fun for me because I’m kind of nosy,” Holliday said. “I like to know what’s going on, so I hear stuff as it happens. For me, it’s a way to get the news a little quicker.”

Most of the session staff at the Statehouse are hired through Legislative Administrative Services, an agency within the legislative branch that provides support services for the Legislature.

Tom Day, director of that agency, said that outside the Statehouse, the Kansas Legislature is often the target of public criticism, and many people might wonder why anyone would sign up to work there. But he said the people who do are highly dedicated, and enjoy being part of the process.

“I think for some people, it’s just a good parttime job. A lot of them are retired from previous careers and want something to do,” Day said. “A lot of them enjoy the political process no matter how crazy it gets.”

Day also noted that some of the assistants who work during the session have been around the Statehouse longer than most of the legislators.

One of those is Joann Zlatnik, who has spent 35 years coordinating the hundreds of school kids who come each year to spend a day working as legislative pages.

“I think on the House side, we do about a thousand a year,” she said.

“We used to get them out the wazoo, but now with the computers it’s totally different.

“It used to be, you had to get them because that was a big deal,” she said, “because they got the mail, they got everything.

Gun CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The planning commission voted 4-2 on Nov. 16 to recommend the City Commission deny the request. The vote was taken after the Lawrence Board of Education came out in opposition to the gun range because of its concern for the safety students and staff at the College and Career Center.

The board’s letter of opposition also states that there are plans for a new Lawrence Boys and Girls Club Teen Center to be constructed on the College and Career Center’s campus. The club is currently accepting donations for the teen center, which will operate an after-school program for about 300 middle and high school students.

“It’s not an appropriate location for a business that sells deadly weapons — that close to a school,” school board member Shannon Kimball told the planning commission.

After hearing the school board’s complaints, Sells said he had little time to defend himself before the

But now everything’s on computer, so really they don’t have much to do except run around the building, and they go to committee meetings.”

“It’s educational and they get to learn about the government,” said Linda Wulfkuhle, the Senate page coordinator who hasn’t been around quite as long as Zlatnik.

But Zlatnik said it’s not uncommon, if you travel anywhere in Kansas, to stop into a restaurant or diner and see a photograph that the waiter or waitress had taken, posing with the governor, when they were young and spent a day working as a page in the Legislature.

Another group of seasonal workers are the official Clerk of the House and Secretary of the Senate, whose jobs involve much more than answering phones or herding school children around the building.

“We produce the daily journal and the daily calendar,” said Senate Secretary Corey Carnahan, who supervises a staff of nine to 11 employees during the session. “We take action on software to put information out on the website, and we serve a variety of administrative duties in the chamber such as incorporate amendments, prepare new versions of bills, and prepare bills that go to the governor.”

Unlike the office assistants and other administrative staff, the Secretary’s and Clerk’s staff have to work the same hours as the legislators themselves, and sometimes even longer, which means they frequently have to work late into the night — sometimes into the next morning — making official record of everything that happens in the chamber.

“That’s been part of the process forever, so we don’t give a lot of thought about the extra hours,” he said. “We focus on making sure the information is accurate. Our people have a great attitude about it. We want to get the work done quickly and accurately.” planning commission took its vote. He said he had not heard any negative feedback about his idea before then.

“There was one guy who said, ‘Rick, you’re going to try to open a gun club in the big blue dot?’”

Sells said, referencing Lawrence’s reputation as a liberal community. “I said, ‘I’m going to give it a whirl.’”

When considering this issue, one thing commissioners will have to note, Sells said, is that the location of the proposed range is legal.

Both the school board’s letter and a city staff report point out the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act, which prohibits any person from knowingly possessing a firearm within a 1,000 feet of a school. The shooting range would be an exception to the law because it allows possession and firing of a gun on private property.

Sells said the law would require anyone leaving the shooting range to store their unloaded firearms in a locked container before leaving the property.

In their letter, the school board members

stated they were “highly skeptical” that customers would take that precaution.

“If it was illegal, I’d be right there with them; I’d agree, I’d understand,” he continued. “But there’s nothing to keep me from doing this legally.”

Among the items Sells hopes city commissioners will consider Tuesday are the safety measures that would be implemented in his renovation of the property to follow federal regulations on gun range design.

He also said the shooting range would provide another in-town option to Lawrence gun owners, some of whom, he said, travel to other cities to use their shooting facilities.

Lawrence does have a city-owned gun range in the basement of the Community Building at 115 W. 11th St. It’s used by the Douglas County Rifle/ Pistol Club and open to the public weekday nights.

Sells said this point was a “pet peeve.”

“Everybody in town against this, what they don’t realize is there’s a gun range in the basement of the community

Testing to turn down illegal drugs or alcohol in peer pressure situations.

“The high school’s administration and the board looked at this as a good opportunity for kids to say ‘no’ where they’re put in circumstances where drugs might be an option,” he said.

Every year a few districts throughout the state decide to implement expanded drug testing policies. And every year the American Civil Liberties Union fields calls from concerned citizens, said Doug Bonney, legal director for ACLU’s Foundation of Kansas.

Most callers are concerned about potential Fourth Amendment rights violations, Bonney said. But since the mid1990s, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled the drug testing of students involved in extracurricular activities as constitutional, a decision ACLU disagrees with, he said.

Others raise concerns about potential privacy violations, Bonney said.

But one of the biggest issues is the financing.

“It’s just a big waste of money. And in a time of stressed public school budgets these policies make no sense,” he said.

“These are the students least likely to be subjected to peer pressure. These are students who have taken the initiative to be involved in athletics or extracurricular activities.

They’re busy students and this is probably not a very efficacious way to achieve that goal of bolstering the spines of students.”

“These dollars could be better used paying teachers, establishing programs, starting classes,” he added.

Drug tests will cost the school $39 per test and alcohol screenings will cost $79 per test, said PerryLecompton High School Principal Mike Copple.

He would not, however, say how much money the school set aside for student testing.

Hair testing is more accurate and has the ability to detect chemicals months after their consumption, Copple said.

Urine tests, another common method, might only detect chemicals for a matter of weeks.

The new testing policy requires students and/ or their guardians to give consent to be randomly tested, Copple said. If they do not give consent, they will no longer be allowed to participate in sports, band, debate,

“

The high school’s administration and the board looked at this as a good opportunity for kids to say ‘no’ where they’re put in circumstances where drugs might be an option.”

— Perry-Lecompton School District Superintendent Denis Yoder cheerleading, dance or any other activities sponsored by the Kansas State High School Activities Association, or KSHSAA. To ensure randomness, the school will assign each student in the testing pool a five- or six-digit number, Copple said.

Then the list of numbers will be sent to the testing company, Psychemedics, which tests schools, police departments and companies across the country.

When the school wants to test a batch of students, it will contact Psychemedics, who will select the desired number of students by their individual numbers at random, Copple said.

There is no set amount of drug or alcohol tests to be conducted each week or month, Copple said.

“On any given month we’re going to do so many of one and so many of the other and the company will be deciding who’s getting what,” he said.

“I think we’ll look at the amount of money that we budget for the testing for the year and how many tests we want to do total.”

To distinguish between a possible habitual user and one who may have only briefly experimented with drugs or alcohol, Copple said the testing lab will only test the most recent inch and a half of a student’s hair.

This method limits the testing period to the past three months.

“We don’t want to go back and punish them for something that happened a long time ago,” he said.

If a student tests positive for either drugs or alcohol, he or she will be suspended from participating in activities for 21 days, Copple said.

“They’re still able to practice with the team or group because they’re still eligible after,” he said. “And we provide the parents information on where to get more information and where to get help if you think they need help.”

It’s set up so they’re tested three more times in the coming year at the cost of the parents, he added.

Police will not be notified of positive tests, Copple said. In fact, nobody outside the student, parents and coach or activity sponsor will be made aware of any test results.

Judging from other school districts with building,” he said.

Sells said that if the rezoning is not approved Tuesday, he has a backup location in mind: the Malls Shopping Center at the intersection of 23rd and Louisiana streets.

With that location, Sells would not have to go through the zoning process, as it is already zoned as commercial.

Sells prefers the location on 31st Street, which is on the southern edge of town, away from residential neighborhoods.

Though he’s wary of how commissioners will vote, Sells said he would go into the meeting Tuesday “open-minded.”

He said one thing he’d be fighting against is that the public is mostly “uneducated about the topic” or the reasoning for which people would want to use the range.

“A lot of guys work all week, and by Thursday they’re stressed out.

Some of them go to the country club and hit a bucket of golf balls, but some people like to squeeze a trigger,” Sells said. “It is a recreation.”

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

similar policies, Bonney said he doesn’t expect the testing will produce much more than aggravation.

“The positive testing rates are extremely low, if there are even any positive results,” he said. “It’s essentially punitive and invasive.”

While many parents and students may see the new testing policy as an invasion of privacy, Bonney said he doesn’t foresee a drop in student participation. Most students want to participate in extracurricular activities to the point where they’re willing to put up with the testing, he said.

Copple said that when the district began discussing the testing, he heard a few privacy concerns, but those were put to rest when parents were told the results would not be made public.

Otherwise, Copple said he has heard little vocal opposition to the new policy.

Whether parents and students are outraged or indifferent to the testing, Bonney said these types of programs are often short-lived.

“I think every few years the districts who adopt these policies also drop them,” he said. “There was no payoff for them.”

In addition, Bonney said there is no indication that one school district adopting new drug testing policies would influence nearby districts to adopt similar policies.

Julie Boyle, communications director for the Lawrence school district, said in an email that Lawrence schools do not randomly test students’ hair.

Yoder said PerryLecompton High School will allow parents of students not involved in extracurricular activities to opt their children into the drug testing pool if they so wish.

A full outline of the district’s new drug testing policy is available online at usd343.net.

The site plan filed at City Hall shows that the restaurant will use the existing building on site, which houses a Shelter Insurance office. The interior will be remodeled, and an outdoor seating area will be added, but otherwise it is not expected to be a major construction project.

In case you are wondering, the longtime Shelter Insurance agency that has been in the 2500 Iowa St. location will remain in business.

Gary Petersen, owner of the agency, told me the business is moving into a vacant space next door to the First Watch restaurant at 2540 Iowa St. That’s the Tower Plaza shopping center, which as we previously have reported is undergoing a major renovation.

of the shopping center has been stripped away. It will be replaced with a more modern-looking design.

In case you have forgotten, another chicken restaurant also is under construction in the area.

Across Iowa Street, some work has begun on a new Raising Cane’s chicken finger restaurant. It is locating where Emprise Bank previously had a branch on Iowa. That bank building has been demolished, and site work is underway for a new restaurant building.

member of the Jayhawk football team, was the ideal student-athlete.

“He was a student first and athlete second. He was an extremely good student and an extremely good athlete,” he said.

Horner’s career would give him a place in the board rooms of a big-four accounting firm and Fortune 500 companies, but he kept his alma mater in his heart, actively supporting the university, Johnson said. As a man whose career benefited from foreign postings, he was particularly interested

in helping students study aboard, and in 2007 he and his wife endowed the $500,000 Horner Study Abroad Scholarship Fund.

The scholarship is available to all KU students, but there is an emphasis for those activities associated with the KU Center for International Business Education and Research.

“Not many people knew what he did because he did it for the right reasons and not for personal recognition,” Johnson said. “I remember having lunch with him and his wife, Donna, when he talked about how

he wanted to do what he could to make sure business students who wanted to study abroad would have that opportunity.”

Born in 1934, Horner completed his bachelor’s degree in business in 1956. According to a statement his former firm released on news of his death, Horner started work after graduation at the Kansas City office of Peat Marwick Mitchell & Company. He was made a partner in 1964, heading the Miami, Fla. office before relocating to Europe.

He was head of the firm’s

Frankfurt, Germany office until he became the CEO of Peat in 1984.

While CEO, he oversaw the 1987 merger of Peat Marwick Mitchell & Company and Klynveld Main and Goerdeler, creating KPMG Peat Marwick.

Horner left the firm in 1991, and went on to serve on the boards of such corporations as ConocoPhillips, American General Company, Atlantis Plastics, UT Starcom Inc., chairing the board of directors of USA Holding Corp. and the Asia Pacific Wire Cable Ltd.

George K. Baum & Co. Board members will review the terms and conditions of the sale, including the interest rates offered

by George K. Baum & Co., and vote on whether to approve the offer.

Also included as part of the sale is a second motion that would provide for the levy of taxes to pay the principal and interest of the bonds, but school board President Vanessa Sanburn said the levy will still decrease overall.

The $92.5 million bond issue has been used to update facilities and technology at all 20 of

the district’s schools and build the new Lawrence College and Career Center. About three-quarters of the money went toward the district’s 14 elementary schools, with most of that focused on six older schools in central and eastern Lawrence: Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill.

Six bond construction projects — at Lawrence High School and Deerfield, Kennedy, Schwegler, Sunset Hill and Woodlawn elementary schools — are currently in progress. Projects at

Pinckney, Sunflower, Broken Arrow and Prairie Park elementary schools are scheduled to begin this summer.

In other business, the school board will: l Discuss and finalize the five characteristics that will be used in the district’s search for a superintendent to replace Rick Doll, who will resign at the end of the school year. The characteristics will be part of a candidate profile used to evaluate the applicants to the position. l Review a report on student wellness. The report will update the board

on the progress made toward the 2015-16 board goal of enhancing student wellness. Three considerations are being investigated as part of that goal: increasing physical movement and recess; expanding Farm to School, the district’s school garden program; and developing outdoor learning environments.

The school board will meet at 7 p.m. at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

wants is something like a franchise agreement the city’s existing phone and cable companies have, which allows them access to all city right-of-way for a set 5 percent franchise fee.

Currently, RG Fiber has to negotiate use of rightof-way for each project, get the City Commission’s approval of that negotiated agreement and then pay a fee for the project.

“It’s a piecemeal process,” Bosch said. “It’s a huge constraint in our ability to move quickly.

Those individual agreements take a great deal of time for us and city staff.”

He has been in talks with city staff about the issue as recently as last Wednesday, Bosch said, and was confident a solution could be found.

One city staffer involved in those discussions, Brandon McGuire, assistant to the city manager, agreed the individual project approvals were time-consuming and cumbersome.

The city would like to accommodate Bosch by finding a more efficient process within the constraints of Federal Communication Commission regulations, state statute and city ordinances, he said.

“Where we left it was the next step would be for Mr. Bosch to submit a request,” McGuire said.

“The city wants to do what it can to facilitate development. We need him to articulate terms of an agreement.”

Slowing the expansion of service now in Baldwin City is winter weather and the company’s startup status. With no experience in connecting customers to service, RG Fiber and its contractors are involved in a trial-and-error process of developing the most efficient ways to make those connections from its own buried lines and the overhead strands it is leasing from the Baldwin City school district, he said.

Chad Meyers, a longtime employee of the former Sunflower Broadband in Lawrence, has been hired to lead that effort.

“He’s dedicated to recreating the culture of customer service Sunflower customers enjoyed,” Bosch said.

Developing an efficient installation process is one

of the goals RG Fiber is looking to have in place before expanding into Eudora, Bosch said. That effort would wait until a substantial number of those who have signed up for service in Baldwin City were connected, but not 100 percent of them.

Although the delays of the last year have taught him not talk about specific dates, RG Fiber will start expansion into Eudora “relatively soon,” Bosch said.

“That’s definitely a 2016 project,” he said.

“Eudora is already designed. We know what we are going to do there.”

After Eudora, the next step in the company’s expansion will be Lawrence, Bosch said. In anticipation of that move, he is attempting to renegotiate his arrangement with the city of Lawrence. What he

Children who still hold grudge may be a loss Dear Annie: I wrote to you a couple of years ago, signing my letter, “Unhappy Parents.” I said that my husband and I felt my stepson was making a big mistake by marrying much too young and we said so. Instead, my stepson repeated these hurtful words to his fiancée and from that point forward, they would not speak to us. We were not allowed to attend the wedding.

My husband was an amazing father, and we were all very close until this woman wedged herself in and started saying bad things about us. Apparently, she is extremely close to my husband’s ex-wife and that woman hates my husband.

You told us to try writing them a letter and apologizing, even though there was no guarantee it would succeed. We immediately

did this, but it didn’t help much. They have since had my husband’s first grandchild. We sent baby gifts, but have not been asked to see the baby. They instead sent us a book of pictures of the baby, including several with the ex-wife holding the child. It’s a beautiful book, with quotes about the importance of family, yet there is not one photo of my husband in it.

I am so hurt. They have now alienated my

‘Autism in Love’ is very moving A film so moving and surprisingly romantic that it should air, or re-air, on Valentine’s Day, the “Independent Lens” documentary “Autism in Love” (9 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) will soften even the hardest hearts and leave viewers wondering just what it means to be “normal,” and how hard it can be to give one’s heart to another.

“Love” follows four adults on the autism spectrum, three men and a woman with varying degrees of difficulty expressing their ideas and feelings and navigating relationships without the social “antennae” or instincts that many of us take for granted.

Dave and Lindsey have been together for eight years. Both are capable of holding jobs and met each other at a conference on autism. While they might seem “normal” in a still photograph, both are beset by physical tics and an inability to make prolonged eye contact. Lindsey swaths herself in scarves and jewelry “to protect herself,” she explains to Dave.

For his part, Dave defines love as a scientific formula. Lindsey believes that his hyper-rationality balances her romantic nature. She can play Chopin on the piano, but is never sure that she is really expressing her true self.

In contrast, Lenny lives with his mother. He’s beset with selfdoubts, compounded by selfconsciousness of how the label of autism diminishes him in the eyes of possible girlfriends. A consumer of violent video games and macho hip-hop videos, he’s obsessed with defining himself as a man even while consigning females outside his immediate family to the realm of fantasy.

Stephen, an older man who lives in St. Paul, Minn., with his elderly parents, affects traits reminiscent of Dustin Hoffman’s character in “Rain Man.” We learn that Stephen has been married for 17 years and that his lovely wife, Gita, has contracted cancer. To listen to Stephen try to explain love, loss and grief may be almost too much for some viewers. It is almost to re-experience those concepts for the very first time. l A country parson who dabbles in exorcism helps the police in her spare time in the U.K. supernatural procedural “Midwinter of the Spirit,” now streaming on Acorn TV.

— Still Unhappy Dear Still: If the exwife is poisoning the relationship and the daughter-in-law still holds a grudge, there isn’t much you can do.

However, they did send photos of the baby, which is more than you might have received before. Your husband should let his children know that he will always love them, but otherwise, we urge you to focus your energies elsewhere. We’re so sorry.

Elections critical to Iran’s future

EDITORIALS

Interesting move Are other state agencies interested in locating new offices closer to employees who live in Lawrence?

M

aybe last week’s announcement by the Kansas Department of Transportation suggests a new economic development opportunity for Lawrence.

In an effort to help curb staff turnover, KDOT officials announced they were moving 18 employees, including 16 engineers, to newly leased space in Lawrence.

“We’ve lost a significant number of good engineers lately,” KDOT Secretary Mike King said in a news release.

“Opening this office in Lawrence, where all of these employees live, gives KDOT an advantage in retaining engineers.”

It’s no secret that a large number of state government employees choose to live in Lawrence and commute to Topeka. Maybe the idea of moving more state offices to Lawrence and giving these employees an opportunity to work and live in the same community will become a trend.

The new offices are located in the Bioscience and Technology Business Center, on Kansas University’s West Campus. That location is convenient for engineers living in Lawrence and still provides easy access to Topeka when needed. It also provides an interesting opportunity to recruit more KU engineering students to work as KDOT interns.

And the move will save the state money. KDOT officials say moving the 18 employees to KU will allow them to vacate an entire floor of the Eisenhower State Office Building in Topeka and save the state $310,000 a year. Their two-year renewable lease for 5,971 square feet at KU cost $56,300 per year.

Win-win.

KDOT reportedly has lost 25 engineers in the last year. Although a number of factors likely were involved in those departures, it will be interesting to see whether locating an office in Lawrence will help reverse that trend. If it does, maybe KU and Lawrence should work to put out the welcome mat for other state agencies that may consider similar moves.

Washington — The power struggle in Tehran between moderates and hard-liners is heading toward a showdown in next month’s elections, which could shape the political balance in Iran for years to come.

The Feb. 26 elections will select 285 members of the Iranian parliament, or “Majlis,” and 88 members of the socalled “Assembly of Experts,” which will choose the eventual successor to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

“This is a fight for survival,” one Iranian told me Thursday. Since the Iranian revolution of 1979, he said, “we have never had such an election” in which the competing factions in Iran are so starkly opposed and the stakes are so high.

U.S. officials, who are carefully watching the pre-election jockeying, expect that if the hard-liners don’t rig the outcome by excluding candidates, the elections should produce a “slight gain” for the moderate camp surrounding President Hassan Rouhani and “continued momentum” for his opening to the West, including the nuclear deal reached last July.

A political barometer closely watched by U.S. officials is the candidacy of Hassan Khomeini, the popular grandson of the ayatollah who embodied Iran’s revolution. He’s running for the Assembly of Experts as an independent, but is seen as an influential supporter of Rouhani’s pragmatic policies.

Rumors swirled last week

David Ignatius

“

The Iranian power struggle will intensify in coming weeks as the roster of candidates is screened by a group known as the Guardian Council, which vets their revolutionary credentials.” that Khomeini might not run, after he missed a religious examination in Qom. But the Iranian source, who knows Khomeini, insisted Thursday that “he has not withdrawn” from the race and that any effort by the hard-liners to force him out would backfire. More than 200 other clerical candidates for the Assembly of Experts had also skipped the exam, this Iranian source said.

Khomeini is a charismatic figure who for Iranians represents the legacy of the revolution and also the effort to adapt it to the 21st century.

His Facebook page, which has over 100,000 “likes,” posts a picture of him as a boy sitting next to his bearded grandfather, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

The Iranian power struggle will intensify in coming weeks as the roster of candidates is screened by a group known as the Guardian Council, which vets their revolutionary credentials. The hard-liners are likely to try to prune the field, but the moderates have prepared by registering so many candidates for the Majlis — by one count, more than 12,000 — that a total purge would undermine the election’s credibility.

The dilemma for the supreme leader and the hardliners around him is how to maintain their power without discrediting the political process. They have to balance public perceptions of legitimacy against their fear that the moderates will gain control of the parliament in addition to the presidency.

“If the Guardian Council permits a wide swath of candidates and there is no voterigging — two huge ifs — then candidates supportive of Rouhani’s pragmatic agenda should win overwhelmingly,” predicts Karim Sadjadpour of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Indeed, another Iranian source estimates that 60 percent to 70 percent of the public supports Rouhani’s pragmatic approach. But Sadjadpour cautions that decisive power in Iran remains with the supreme leader, not elected officials.

Yet even the supreme leader must keep an eye on public opinion, as is shown by his recent decision on deployment of Iranian military forces in Syria. Those numbers were

growing last year, and hardliners wanted to send even more. But analysts say that after the Iranian death toll in Syria began rising sharply, the supreme leader ordered a withdrawal of some troops last fall. The number today is said to be roughly 1,000, or about half what it was. Iraqi and Lebanese proxy forces have filled the gap.

The deepening political divide in Iran contrasts with what U.S. officials say has been a recent consolidation of power within the royal family in Saudi Arabia, Iran’s bitter rival across the Gulf. A power struggle seemed to be developing last October between Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef and his headstrong, 30-year-old deputy, Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

But King Salman is said to have intervened personally recently to check the family rivalry. According to officials from a neighboring Gulf country, tensions between the crown prince and his deputy have now eased, with Mohammed bin Salman recognizing the need for more harmony within the House of Saud.

The recent confrontation between Iran and Saudi Arabia was a reminder that 37 years after the Iranian revolution, the aftershocks are still rocking the Middle East.

It’s intriguing that a leading voice of the moderation in next month’s elections is the grandson of the scowling ayatollah who set this upheaval in motion.

I’m still waiting for someone to show me how laws stop a person intent on breaking them.

I see people breaking speed limits every day, despite the fact that speed cameras are there to catch them doing it. The ticket comes later in the mail.

In one of his last-gasp efforts to “fundamentally change” America, President Obama is taking executive action on gun control — because he knows he could never get Congress to agree — to keep guns out of the hands of people he claims should not have them.

Stiffer background checks are supposed to achieve his goal of reducing “gun violence,” despite the fact that, according to the Washington Times, “A record number of firearms background checks were conducted by the FBI in 2015 — equating roughly to 44 checks every minute.” A record-setting year. Yet people intent on breaking the law remain undeterred. The San Bernardino shooters who murdered 14 people at a holiday event did not have criminal backgrounds … until they opened

Isn’t it at least conceivable that someone bent on mass murder would take advantage of gunfree zones, knowing that there would be no one in them who could offer much resistance?”

fire. The massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., was committed by a disturbed man whose mother had legally obtained the guns.

Bloomberg reports that, “A study by the Department of Justice found that just 0.7 percent of state prison inmates in 1997 had purchased their weapons at a gun show.” “By contrast,”

notes the study, “nearly 40 percent of inmates said they obtained the firearm used in their crime from family or friends, and 39 percent said they got the weapon from an illegal street source.”

How would more gun laws fix this problem?

As with “climate change,” “gun control” is not high on most peoples’ list of concerns. In fact, a recent Gallup poll found that “only 1 percent of respondents mentioned guns/gun control as a concern for most of the months in 2015.” Although mentions spiked to 7 percent in November and December after mass shootings in those months, “the overall average for the year was 2 percent.”

In response to the president’s announcement, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said, “The president has overseen a dramatic drop in prosecutions related to the enforcement of gun laws already on the books, and his party recently voted once again to defeat a Senate measure to increase those prosecutions.” He might have added the notion that “gun-free zones” would somehow

contribute to public safety.

They likely wouldn’t. Isn’t it at least conceivable that someone bent on mass murder would take advantage of gun-free zones, knowing that there would be no one in them who could offer much resistance?

President Obama’s gun control push is all about politics, of course. He’s attempting to shore up the Democratic liberal base before the next election and forestall the real possibility that his executive orders will be quickly reversed should a Republican win the White House.

It is also another display of what is at the heart of liberalism — the fallacy that intent trumps results. Liberals are rarely held accountable for their failed policies, but are instead praised for having lofty goals and the right attitude.

As the saying goes, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. The left has transformed that road into a multi-lane highway. And it’s the rest of us who have to pay the toll.

premature to talk about what legislators will do on school finance issues because an education funding lawsuit from four local districts is still before the Kansas Supreme Court.

Bruce said of extending the block grant law, “If there’s a plot to do it, I’m left out in the cold.”

The per-pupil funding formula abandoned last year was enacted in 1992.

Brownback and many GOP legislators said it was too complicated and didn’t direct enough state funds into classrooms. It also sometimes complicated efforts to control state spending by automatically calling for additional aid if a district gained students or more students had special needs.

Many local school officials liked that flexibility and dislike the blockgrants law because it doesn’t provide the same automatic adjustments.

Some of them — including the four districts with the lawsuit before the Supreme Court — also contend that Kansas has fallen perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars short of adequately funding its schools, something Republicans dispute.

formula in favor of set “block grants” — is set to expire in July 2017 because the GOP lawmakers who wrote it meant it to be temporary.

Hensley and Burroughs said they think Republicans will attempt to extend the current law until July 2018, so that much of the work of drafting a new formula can be postponed until after this year’s elections. All legislative seats will be on the ballot in November.

“At the end of the day, I think they’ll just punt,” Hensley told fellow Democrats.

Burroughs said during a break in Democrats’ meeting: “I anticipate that they will extend the block-grant formula one more time.”

But the Senate’s top Republicans, President Susan Wagle, of Wichita, and Majority Leader Terry Bruce, of Nickerson, said they know of no plans to consider an extension.

Senate Republicans also had a two-hour caucus Sunday, hearing presentations from officials in GOP Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration, including Shawn Sullivan, his budget director.

Before the GOP gathering, Wagle said it’s

Topeka (ap) — The Kansas Legislature’s top Democrats predicted Sunday that Republican lawmakers will try to extend a new law for funding the state’s public schools that has been criticized by many educators, though two GOP Senate leaders said they knew of no such plan.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, and House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs, of Kansas City, said they doubt the Legislature’s GOP majorities will pass another school funding law this year to replace a short-term Hensley one enacted last year. Democratic lawmakers met for policy briefings a day before today’s opening of the Legislature’s annual session.

Republican leaders have acknowledged that they’re not sure how far legislators will get in writing a new formula for distributing more than $4 billion a year in aid to the state’s 286 school districts. The current law — which junked a per-pupil

OBAMA PREPARES TO DEFINE PRESIDENCY Gregory Korte USA TODAY

President Obama’s last constitutionally required report to Congress on Tuesday will go beyond the typical “laundry list” of policy proposals that are the hallmark of the annual address, White House aides say, instead delivering what they suggested would be a more profound statement on the State of the Union.

With a Republican-controlled Congress and a presidential campaign in full swing, Obama would be unlikely to get much of his legislative agenda through Congress anyway. And so Tuesday, aides say Obama will use the speech to reflect on not just the year ahead, but his entire presidency — and the generation that grew up in it.

“This is the grandest stage in all of American politics,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said. “In this case, he wants to focus most of his time on the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for the country, and how WASHINGTON

‘Rolling Stone’ drug lord interview stirs controversy Magazine scores scoop with Sean Penn and ‘El Chapo’

Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

There almost had to be something wrong with this picture: Rolling Stone magazine, still bruised from erroneous reporting about campus rape, scores an exclusive interview with escaped Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán.

The interview conducted by tough-guy actor Sean Penn and posted on the Rolling Stone website late Saturday fueled several journalistic misgivings. An editor’s note said Guzmán was given right of refusal after reading a finished version, and some names had been changed. The magazine said Guzmán, who does not speak English, asked for no changes.

Ceding such control to Guzmán was professionally “inexcusable,” wrote Reuters reporter Andrew Seaman, who chairs the ethics committee for the Society of Professional Journalists, in a blog Saturday night.

Questions remain about whether the magazine’s efforts to secure the interview in October helped law enforcement recap-

ture the renowned prison escapee on Friday. An unnamed Mexican federal law enforcement official told the Associated Press that the Penn interview assisted its efforts.

Penn, in the article, makes clear he worked hard to avoid being noticed by police.

Other journalism analysts said the Guzmán interview was a bona fide scoop and could help restore the nearly 50-year-old magazine’s tarnished image.

“Rolling Stone needed this story,” said Samir Husni, professor at the University of Mississippi School of Journalism and direc-

tor of the Magazine Innovation Center at the school.

He said the decision allowing an actor to conduct the interview was a classic Rolling Stone mix of pop culture and journalism.

The magazine reached an alltime low last year after The Washington Post uncovered serious ethical lapses in an article about an alleged gang rape at the University of Virginia, published in 2014. The magazine ended up retracting the story last April and is being sued by the fraternity.

The magazine is no stranger to controversy. A 2010 profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, then the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, included disparaging remarks said by his aides about the Obama administration, leading to McChrystal’s forced early retirement.

Ticket to paradise: Powerball jackpot could hit $1.3B Bart Jansen and Cara Richardson USA TODAY

The Powerball lottery jackpot continues to grow — to an estimated record $1.3 billion by the next drawing at 10 p.m. ET Wednesday — after nobody matched the winning numbers Saturday.

No shame in that. The odds of winning the largest prize in U.S. lottery history were 1 in 292.2 million. “That just shows the total randomness of Powerball,” Gary Grief, executive director of the

Texas Lottery, told NBC News’ Weekend Today on Sunday. “At our peak last night, we were selling more than $1.2 million in Powerball tickets every single minute.”

Roughly speaking, the chances of picking the right combination of numbers is like flipping a coin and getting heads 28 times in a row, according to Jeffrey Miecznikowski, an associate professor of biostatistics at the University at Buffalo in New York.

“It’s very unlikely,” said Miecznikowski, who doesn’t play Powerball himself.

Saturday’s winning numbers were 16-19-32-34-57 and Power-

ball number 13. Miecznikowski speculated that one reason for no winner might be the Powerball number 13, which players who chose their own numbers might

have avoided as unlucky.

The latest jackpot estimate of $1.3 billion would be twice as large as the previous biggest U.S. lottery prize from March 30, 2012, when Mega Millions paid $656 million for three tickets from Kansas, Illinois and Maryland.

The huge jackpot is creating an unforeseen advertising problem in several states: many electronic billboards promoting Powerball aren’t configured to display billion-dollar prizes, since the word “MILLION” is affixed to the signs, the director of the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency told The Baltimore Sun. The jackpot started out Nov. 4 at $40 million and has rolled over 18 times. Winners of the top prize can choose to be paid in 30 annual installments or a lump sum.

The lump sum for Wednesday’s drawing is estimated at $806 million.

Emanuel hangs tough in political ‘hell’ Aamer Madhani

“(Emanuel’s) focused on making the changes that will bring this city back together again.”

@AamerISmad USA TODAY

In recent days, the political establishment here has attempted to drum home a message to the citizens of the Second City: Rahm Emanuel isn’t going anywhere.

To be sure, the persistent calls for the embattled mayor’s resignation — which began more than six weeks ago over his decision to keep a disturbing video of a police officer shooting a black teen 16 times under wraps for more than a year — aren’t abating. The Chicago Teachers Union, which has long had a contentious relationship with Emanuel and is threatening to strike, last week formally called on the mayor to step down.

Anger with Emanuel, whose approval rating stood at 18% in a poll conducted last month, surged only after Chicago Police said an officer accidentally fatally wounded a grandmother of nine over Christmas weekend when shooting at her 19-year-old neighbor who had become “combative” with police during a domestic dispute.

Meanwhile, the FBI confirmed on Sunday that it was probing a 2013 police shooting in which Chicago officers fatally shot Esau Castellanos after a high-speed chase in the city. Police officer said they fired at Castellanos after he crashed his car.

But no gun was ever recovered.

Emanuel’s administration faced more embarrassment last CHICAGO

Sen. Dick Durbin

BRIAN JACKSON, AP

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, announcing an expansion of the Second Chance Program, still has supporters. week after a federal judge ordered the retrial in a civil lawsuit over a 2011 fatal shooting by Chicago Police officers after determining that a city of Chicago lawyer deliberately withheld critical evidence from the attorney representing the slain man’s family. The city announced on Sunday that the mayor had tapped former U.S. attorney, Dan Webb, to conduct a review of standards and practices of the city law department in the aftermath of the incident.

Days after the Christmas weekend shooting of Bettie Jones, 55, and Quintonio LeGrier, about two dozen angry demonstrators brought their calls for Emanuel to resign to his home on the city’s North Side.

The audacity of such a protest by the mostly young and African-American demonstrators is something that would have been hard to imagine during the reign of Emanuel’s predecessor, Richard M. Daley, who ruled the city with and iron fist and the backing of a rubber-stamp City Council for more than 22 years.

But while Emanuel may be under siege, the establishment is standing by his side.

On Wednesday, Sen. Dick Durbin, the state’s senior senator, offered a sympathetic take on Emanuel’s plight, noting that distrust of the Chicago Police Department in the AfricanAmerican community dates back well before Emanuel, a former chief of staff to President

Obama and U.S. congressman, became mayor in 2011.

“I’m not going to stand in judgment of any single incident that the mayor was involved in,” Durbin said. “But I will say this: My conversations with him in the last several weeks tell me he’s focused on making the changes that will bring this city back together again.”

Rep. Bobby Rush, another Democratic lawmaker, made the case a day earlier that if constituents want to see police reform, they’d be better served if Emanuel remains in office.

“If the seat became vacant, it would take another five years to even get remotely to the point where we are right now in terms of the reforming of the police department,” Rush said.

Memories of the chaos and political jockeying that followed the death of Harold Washington, the city’s first African-American mayor, in 1987 are still fresh in the minds of the city’s older generation. The white bloc of alderman who controlled the City Council settled on Eugene Sawyer, a black council member, to

Republican hopefuls spending more time targeting one another David Jackson USA TODAY

COLUMBIA , S . C.

Other Republican candidates are eager to take on Donald Trump — but first they must get past each other.

That’s why would-be contenders such as Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush and John Kasich are spending as much or more time targeting one another as Trump, the front-runner in the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

“The battle is to be seen as the best alternative to the frontrunner,” said Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union who watched some of the non-Trump candidates this weekend at an antipoverty forum in the pivotal state of South Carolina.

Usually, trailing candidates go straight for the top candidate.

And, to be sure, many GOP candidates have attacked Trump over his temperament and lack of government experience. But aides and political analysts said the non-Trump candidates first have

From left, presidential candidates Ben Carson, Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz and former Florida governor Jeb Bush do battle during a debate Dec. 15 in Las Vegas. to winnow their own section of the field.

As caucuses and primaries take place, and more and more candidates drop from the race, “there will eventually be a coalition of voters that are not Trump fans,” Schlapp said. “There will be an effort to try and stop Trump.”

Even Cruz, who has gone out of his way to avoid attacking Trump, has had to respond to the businessman’s new habit of questioning whether Cruz’s birth in Canada makes him ineligible for the presidency. Cruz himself has become the front-runner in Iowa, passing Trump in several polls

ahead of the Feb. 1 caucuses that will open the Republican nomination process.

U.S. Sen. Tim Scott — the South Carolina Republican whose endorsement is being sought ahead of that state’s Feb. 20 primary — said GOP candidates “have to be in the conver-

serve out Washington’s term. He would be defeated by Daley in a special election in 1989.

The scars of the racially fraught political fights of the 1980s aren’t particularly relevant to the mostly young people who have been on the front lines of the protests in Chicago.

Emanuel has tried to demonstrate that he’s humbled and capable of overhauling the Chicago Police Department.

He acknowledged he was wrong to resist the release of the police video of the Laquan McDonald shooting, and forced the resignations of his police superintendent and the head of the city agency, the Independent Police Review Authority, tasked with investigating police involved shootings. And after initially resisting calls for a Justice Department investigation of the police department, Emanuel did an about-face and welcomed the probe that was officially launched last month.

After the Christmas weekend shooting of Jones and LeGrier, he announced an overhaul of the police’s use of lethal-force guidelines and plans to equip every officer with a Taser by June.

But the efforts are cold comfort to many living in parts of the city where the mayor’s promises are viewed with skepticism colored by decades of distrust.

The Rev. Marshall Hatch, who delivered Jones’ eulogy, said the mayor may try to tough it out, but his attempts to save his legacy won’t come without pain.

“It’s going to be hell on earth for him for the next three years,” Hatch said.

sation,” and one way to do that is to compare and contrast.

“We’ll see how well that works,” Scott said after hosting the anti-poverty forum at a convention center near the University of South Carolina.

Positioning for the primary in South Carolina will change after results in Iowa and the New Hampshire primary on Feb. 9, creating what Scott called a “window of opportunity” for the survivors headed into the contest in the Palmetto State.

As the Republican race heads into its final months, many nonTrumpians are seeking to exploit the weaknesses they see in each other.

For Cruz, it is his own temperament and the feeling that he is disliked by so many Republican leaders, as well as his opposition to government surveillance programs. For Rubio, it’s his Senate absenteeism, as well as his past work with Democrats on a major immigration overhaul.

For Bush, it’s that voters don’t want a “third Bush” leading the party. Christie, the governor of New Jersey, has been hit over his past support of gun-control measures as well as his state’s economic problems.

And Kasich, the governor of Ohio, has been criticized for his Medicaid expansion.

the choices that we make today will have a significant impact on the success of future generations of Americans.”

He’ll also look back. Invited to sit in the first lady’s box are two figures from early in his campaign for president: Edith Childs, the South Carolina woman who came up with the “Fired up!

Ready to go!” chant, and Earl Smith in 2007, a Texas veteran who gave Obama a military patch from his artillery brigade in Vietnam in 2008.

Obama has signaled that he intends to reflect on some of the most momentous decisions of his presidency: the auto industry bailout, health insurance legislation, and policies he credits with a 70-month streak of job creation. In his weekly radio address Saturday, Obama also hinted at a theme of his speech to Congress: “America can do anything.”

“Even in times of great challenge and change, our future is entirely up to us. That’s been on my mind while I’m writing my final State of the Union Address,” he said.

Edith Childs leads the campaign chant, “Fired Up, Ready To Go,” during a rally at Lander University in Greenwood in 2008.

The last State of the Union Address can be challenging for any president, as the nation’s focus turns to the next campaign and the gears of Congress become locked. President Reagan eschewed the temptation to burnish his legacy in his last State of the Union Address in 1988, saying he would “leave that to history.

We’re not finished yet.”

By contrast, President Clinton gave the longest State of the

Union history in 2000, an 88minute address full of optimistic and futuristic rhetoric about the “mountaintop of a new millennium,” but also designed to boost Vice President Al Gore’s accomplishments.

The White House is suggesting, however, that Obama’s speech won’t be about Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. “This year, the president will do what is rarely done in Washington: Think beyond

the next election,” White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough wrote to supporters last week.

But in an interview on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, McDonough said Obama will seek to fix the electoral process. “You’ll hear the president talk about making sure that every American has a chance to influence this democracy. Not the select few, not the millionaires and the billionaires, but every American. And when we draw on the strength of every American the sky is the limit for this country,” he said.

Still, there are indications that Obama won’t completely free himself from the litany of policy proposals that has defined the speech through its history. The

annual speech is, after all, a fulfillment of a constitutional requirement that the president “shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”

Obama’s proposals for stricter gun safety legislation will certainly be a focus, and Obama promised gun control advocates Friday that he would leave a seat empty in the first lady’s box to symbolize victims of gun violence. He’ll also likely address the Trans-Pacific trade deal, the battle against the Islamic State, and immigration — especially the Syrian refugee crisis.

“I think there will be ample opportunity for the president over the course of this year to deliver a political speech,” Earnest said.

“But that’s not what (Tuesday) is about.”

The White House is also hoping to use this year’s speech to innovate on other fronts, using social media and the annotation platform Genius to amplify and expand on the president’s words online.

FBI probes another fatal police shooting

NORTH KOREA BOMB TEST

No gun found in 2013 Esau Castellanos case Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

The FBI confirmed Sunday that it has opened a civil rights investigation of a 2013 fatal shooting by Chicago police officers, a development as the nation’s third largest city already is already on edge over a series of police-involved shootings.

Esau Castellanos was driving 80 mph when he crashed March 16, 2013. Police officers Shawn Lawryn and Juan Martinez testified in a civil lawsuit brought by the man’s family that Castellanos fired on them after he crashed.

The two officers returned fire, shooting 19 times and wounding him three times. The officers then handcuffed Castellanos to his steering wheel, according to the 2014 lawsuit.

No gun was recovered, and Castellanos’ family disputed the officer’s claim that he had a gun.

“The Chicago FBI Field Office has opened a civil rights investigation into the police-involved shooting of Esau Castellanos,” FBI spokesman Garrett Croon said. “The FBI will ... ensure that the investigation is conducted in a fair, thorough, and impartial manner.” Croon declined to offer further comment.

Anthony Guglielmi, a Chicago police spokesman, said the department only learned of the FBI probe into the Castellanos shooting Friday, the same day interim Superintendent John Escalante placed Lawryn and Martinez on administrative duty. The FBI investigation, first reported by the Chicago Tribune on Saturday, has been ongoing for two years, Guglielmi said.

Martinez told investigators after the shooting that he had been shot by Castellanos. It was later determined that Martinez had not been shot and just suffered scrapes and bruises.

The investigation comes after U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced last month that the Justice Department was conducting a broad investigation of the department’s patterns and practices.

The Justice Department investigation was launched following the November release of a 2014 police video that showed a police officer shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times on a city street.

Officer Jason Van Dyke was charged by the Cook County prosecutor’s office with first-degree murder in the death of McDonald on the same day of the video’s court-ordered release, which came 400 days after the incident.

U.S. B-52 FLIGHT UPS ANTE IN NUCLEAR DISPUTE U.S. PACIFIC COMMAND

White House: Flight shows ‘deep alliance’ Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

TOKYO The U.S. military responded to North Korea’s claimed test of a hydrogen bomb on Sunday with a menacing demonstration of its own: a low-level flight by a B-52 bomber over neighboring South Korea.

The long-range bomber made a low pass near Osan Air Base, about 40 miles south of Seoul, at about noon local time. It was accompanied by U.S. and South Korean fighter planes, according to a statement from U.S. Pacific Command in Hawaii.

The bomber flew from its home base in Guam.

“This was a demonstration of the ironclad U.S. commitment to our allies in South Korea, in Japan and to the defense of the American homeland,” Adm. Harry Harris, commander U.S. Pacific Command, said in the statement released Sunday.

“North Korea’s nuclear test (last Wednesday) is a blatant violation of its international obligations. U.S. joint military forces in the Indo-Asia-Pacific will continue to work with all of our regional allies and partners to maintain stability and security,” Harris said.

Pacific Command took the unusual step of releasing a photo of the B-52 and escort fighters during the flight.

White House chief of staff Denis McDonough said on CNN’s State of the Union that the flight demonstrated “the deep and enduring alliance” the United States has with South Korea and other allies. He said the North Koreans need to follow prior commitments to get rid of their nuclear weapons.

“That’s the baseline requirement they have to rejoin the international community,”

McDonough said. “Until they do it, they’ll remain where they are, which is an outcast — unable to provide for their own people.”

There was no immediate response from North Korea about the B-52 flight. Last week’s test at Punggye-ri was the country’s fourth test of nuclear weapon and the first in three years.

North Korea announced that the device was a powerful hydrogen bomb, which is far more destructive than the atomic bombs it previously tested. However, the White House challenged that claim, saying initial evidence suggested the detonation was not powerful enough to be a hydrogen bomb.

North Korea’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs are in violation of international

arms control agreements.

Sunday’s flight is unlikely to deter North Korea from continuing its weapons programs but was a necessary step, said Grant Newsham, senior research fellow at the Japan Forum for Strategic Studies in Tokyo.

“These sorts of concrete responses do keep alive in North Korea’s mind that the United States — and what it might do — are still worth worrying about. As importantly, it also reassures South Korea and Japan and others that America still can be counted on to defend against North Korean misbehavior,” Newsham said.

B-52 bombers have been the Pentagon’s weapon of choice when looking to send a message in recent years. A B-52 made a similar overflight following North Korea’s nuclear test in 2013, and the Pentagon sent two of the aircraft into a disputed air defense zone declared by China in the East China Sea in 2013.

It is not clear whether the B-52 that flew Sunday was armed. The warplane has been the backbone of the U.S. bomber fleet since the 1950s and is capable of carrying both nuclear and conventional bombs and cruise missiles. The plane has been continually upgraded with new engines, electronics and weaponry.

Last week’s nuclear test has worsened relations between North and South Korea, which are still technically at war since 1950. The South resumed loudspeaker broadcasts across the demilitarized zone separating the two countries — an action the North calls an “act of war” — and North Korea moved additional troops into the border area.

In the statement released Sunday, Pacific Command said the B-52 mission was intended to demonstrate the strength of the alliance between the United States and South Korea and the resolve of both nations to maintain stability and security on the Korean Peninsula.

Egypt’s first parliament in more than three years held its inaugural session on Sunday, signaling the end of a political road map announced after the 2013 military overthrow of an elected Islamist president.

The 596-seat assembly, filled with supporters of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, has 15 days to ratify more than 300 laws issued, BBC reported.

It is the first legislature since Sisi, as military chief, led the 2013 ouster of President Mohammed Morsi following mass protests against the Islamist leader and his Muslim Brotherhood, according the Associated Press. The new parliament replaces one dominated by Islamists that was dissolved by a court ruling in June 2012.

AMERICAN WOMAN’S DEATH IN ITALY INVESTIGATED

A 35-year-old American woman who was living in Florence, Italy, was found dead in her apartment, and police are investigating it as a homicide.

Ashley Olsen, originally from Summer Haven, Fla., was found Saturday with bruises and scratches on her neck, according to the Associated Press.

Italian media reports characterized Olsen’s death as possibly from strangulation. Police were questioning her friends and her boyfriend, who local media described as a 40-year-old Italian artist.

“We are aware of these reports, but have no comment at this time,” State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said Sunday.

The boyfriend discovered Olsen’s body on the bed of her apartment after he hadn’t heard from her for two days following an argument.

He gained entrance with the assistance of the apartment owner, according to Italian media reports.

Walter “Jim” Hosey went out with a bang.

The Vietnam War Army veteran from LaVerkin who died Jan. 2 received a sendoff from family members and friends Saturday at the Southern Utah Practical Shooting Range in Hurricane where he had spent so much of his life.

In addition to an American Legion rifle salute, taps and the honorary presentation of the American flag to Hosey’s son Clint and daughters Emerald and Heidi, Hosey received a special kind of tribute in keeping with his personality — Clint loaded 50, 12-gauge shotgun shells with his father's ashes and fired them off with the help of relatives and friends.

“I think he got a kick out of that,” Clint said, acknowledging that he was holding up well, but eventually realization of the family’s loss “gets real.”

“It’s the first time for me that a veteran’s or an individual’s ashes were made into ammunition and then fired through a shotgun,” Spilsbury funeral director Mark Heiner said after the ceremony. “But it’s a fitting tribute to the way he lived.”

President Obama is slated to attend the North American International Auto Show in downtown Detroit on Jan. 20. He is heading to the Motor City to acknowledge the U.S. auto industry’s revival.

He’s also there “to experience firsthand the remarkable progress made by the city, its people and neighborhoods,” White House spokesman Keith Maley told the Detroit Free Press. Detroit’s downtown and midtown areas are experiencing a surge of investments and commercial activity following the city’s emergence from Chapter 9 bankruptcy in 2014, which helped the beleaguered city government shed more than $7 billion in debts.

DETROIT AUTO SHOW

FRIDAY MARKETS

Plug-in hybrid cars, considered exotic, futuristic technology only five years ago, will go further mainstream at this week’s big North American International Auto Show here.

While plug-ins are limited to a few models now, soon they’ll be showing up in dealerships for a wide variety of brands around the country.

Some of the most important new auto models making their debut on Monday and Tuesday here — including Ford’s Fusion sedan, the Chrysler minivan, Volkswagen’s Tiguan GTE crossover concept and Volvo’s flagship sedan — will come in plug-in versions.

The batteries in a typical hybrid get charged from the gas engine. In a plug-in hybrid, the batteries work the same way, but in addition, the car has a cord that can be plugged into an electrical outlet. Drivers can cruise on electricity alone, which vastly increases fuel economy. When the juice runs out, the car relies on its gas-powered engine.

“It’s a gateway drug to full electrification,” says Jake Fisher, director of auto testing for Consumer Reports. “While many

The S90 sedan being shown in Detroit will be a plug-in hybrid that has other advanced features, such as being able to drive itself on highways at speeds up to 80 mph, as long as a driver rests a hand on the wheel.

The first popular plug-in was Chevrolet’s Volt, which hit the market in late 2010. Since then, automakers have discovered they can modify hybrids into plug-ins.

At a time of low gas prices, how-

ever, their added cost makes them a tough sell.

Toyota sold 184,794 Priusbranded hybrids last year, but only 4,191 of them were plug-ins, according to Autodata. Chevrolet sold 15,393 Volts, but also sold 184,794 of the similarly sized, plug-less Cruze compacts.

Despite the lower sales, automakers say they’ll need a plug-in portfolio to help them meet tightening government fuel-economy standards.

“We’re looking in the future to satisfy greenhouse gas regulations,” says Volkswagen spokesman Mark Gilles, “You’ll be seeing more diversified electriciation in our vehicles.”

Hotel building boom bringing 100,000 new rooms to U.S. cities Charisse Jones USA TODAY

Business travelers looking for a home on the road will have lots of new choices this year, as a building boom gives rise to hundreds of new hotels from New York to Houston to Los Angeles.

At least 865 hotels, with 103,230 rooms, are currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2016, according to hotel research firm STR, as developers boost investments to match surging demand.

“Post-2009, lenders in the hotel space got very skittish,’’ says Jan Freitag, STR’s senior vice president of lodging insights. But “the industry continues to break records on the demand side and on the revenue side. ... Developers are playing catch up, and we’re seeing a lot of attention on the U.S. lodging industry.’’

The 1.5% uptick in rooms opening this year is still below the long-term annual average of 1.9%, Freitag says. But building activity has dramatically increased, with 21% more rooms under construction than a year ago.

Among the cities seeing the most activity are popular perennials like Chicago and Washington, D.C., but also somewhat unexpected destinations, like Detroit, which has 954 rooms slated

to open in 2016, and 4,200 rooms in the longer-term pipeline.

“Developers are looking at Detroit and saying there might be an opportunity there with a very changed city,’’ Freitag says.

New York, however, was No. 1, with 13,583 rooms under construction and slated to open in 2016 and beyond.

“That is an unbelievable amount of rooms under construction,’’ Freitag says, adding that a presence in the Big Apple is crucial for a hotel chain’s image.

“If brands want to establish themselves ... (they) need to have a foothold in New York City.’’

The payoff is also enticing.

Through November, 2015 hotel

occupancy in New York was over the next 18 months.

Question: On a 737-800 cruising through clouds at 20,000 feet, I noticed significant ice building on the wings.

Ice was inches thick and breaking off in chunks near the engine. The outer slats were covered in smooth ice and the winglet was covered in rough ice. After about 20 minutes, the pilot went above the clouds and the ice eventually went away. Should I have alerted a flight attendant?

— Submitted by reader Brian, Chicago Answer: Jets use hot air from the engines to remove ice from the leading edge of the wing. The winglets are not heated, nor is the top of the wing. At cruising speed, icing is less of an issue than at lower speeds, but pilots pay attention to it in all conditions. It would have been appropriate to tell the flight attendant.

Q: Can you explain how ice affects flying?

— Frances, Chicago A: Ice distorts the airflow across the wing, causing a loss of lift. De-icing fluid clears the wing of ice so that the normal airflow is maintained.

Q: How does de-icing work?

Are there wired heaters to the flaps while in flight?

— James Hornell, N.Y. A: The de-icing systems on jet airplanes usually use hot air, known as bleed air, extracted from the engines to heat the leading edges of the engines and wings. The windshield and various vanes/probes/drains are heated electrically.

The flaps are not heated.

Q: Has centralized de-icing been considered? It would seem more efficient to have one “drive-through” de-icing station at the start of each major runway vs. multiple trucks attending to multiple planes. Also, is the de-icing fluid captured and recycled?

— William Markey, Chicago A: Some airports in Europe use a single station near the runway.

This has not been utilized in the U.S. Yes, many airports recycle the glycol used for de-icing.

How to score the best seat on the plane Christopher Elliott

TOP FLIGHT APPS

Special for USA TODAY

To say Robert Harrison’s recent flight from Philadelphia to Barcelona was uncomfortable might be something of an understatement.

Harrison, a physician from Hilton Head, S.C., managed to squeeze his 5-foot-6, 148-pound frame into a narrow aisle seat.

But whenever he dozed off, his left elbow slid off the thin armrest and a meal cart would slam into it, jolting him awake.

Harrison cursed the airline that would “cram extra seats in the back and make people uncomfortable just to make a few extra dollars.”

Fortunately, there’s an app to help. Several, actually. The latest is Seateroo, a program that launches Monday that lets passengers swap seats on a plane.

They join a crowded market of programs meant to make your next flight more comfortable — even as airlines seem to be trying their hardest to make your next flight less comfortable.

American Airlines hasn’t made any recent modifications to the aircraft in which Harrison was

Of the top five flight apps online, only SeatGuru focuses on seat comfort. Both SeatGuru and Gate Guru are not yet widely installed and have a high churn rate, meaning they’re installed and then quickly deleted, according to Similarweb.com. Name and percentage of installs on smartphones: 1. Skyscanner 0.67% 2. Flightaware 0.64% 3. TripIt 0.26% 4. SeatGuru 0.04% 5. Gate Guru 0.04%

A new app helps airline passengers swap seats — for a price. flying. Even so, if he was uncomfortable, he had two options. He could have paid for an upgrade to business class, if available. And “he could have definitely asked the flight attendant to be reseated within the same cabin,” said Ross Feinstein, an American Airlines spokesman.

Harrison isn’t imagining this.

Across the industry, airlines are constantly looking for new ways to move the seats closer together.

Of course, the more seats they can fit on the plane, the more money they can make. It was only a matter of time before technology offered a way to fight back.

The first significant salvo in that battle came in 2013, when Routehappy (routehappy.com) launched. It scores flights based

on a variety of criteria, including legroom, width and amenities such as power outlets. If Harrison had consulted Routehappy’s oracles pre-flight, they would have advised him to check out the United flight from Philadelphia to Barcelona via Newark, which scored an impressive 8.2 out of a possible 10, compared with American’s paltry 6.2.

Routehappy improved on SeatGuru’s (seatguru.com) more linear recommendations, which offers seat measurements for planes and allows air travelers to quickly access that information through a smartphone app. SeatGuru can also warn of substandard seats. It would have cautioned a passenger like Harrison about the last row of econo-

my class, in which he found himself. That seat, it would have noted, has “limited recline,” and the proximity to the lavatories and galleys may be “bothersome.”

That’s a nice way of putting it.

Those are by no means the only tools.

For example, ExpertFlyer (expertflyer.com), an established flight-search tool, offers features that help you find a more desirable seat. Its Seat Alerts app (iOS and Android) automatically searches for available seats based on preferences like aisle or window, and notifies you the moment it finds your request. It can also search for a seat on a completely booked flight. ExpertFlyer also overlays SeatGuru information about seat dimensions, al-

lowing you to select your seat based on your space or amenity requirements.

Of course, despite such efforts to find your best seat option, you still may find yourself sitting in a less-than-desirable seat. And that’s the idea behind Seateroo (Seateroo.com), an app that lets you swap seats for a price.

Say you’re Harrison, and you’re stuck in seat 36F, the last row of economy class on that Barcelona flight. Either before or after boarding, you fire up Seateroo and find a passenger who is willing to swap seats with you. You negotiate a price (minimum of $5, with a 15% service fee deducted from price paid to the other passenger) and swap seats when you’re permitted to move about the cabin. Problem solved.

Seat switching is a time-honored tradition among air travelers, but until now no one has figured out how to formally monetize the process. It’s unclear how airlines will react to an app that brings the sharing economy to airline seats, but Seateroo’s CEO, Brad Pursel, believes they won’t mind.

“The airlines already have the money from a passenger,” he says.

“We’re just opening up the possibility for such a passenger to reduce his or her travel costs.”

Getting stuck in space is a good look for Matt Damon.

The Martian star made a big early splashdown in award season, winning for best actor in a musical or comedy at the 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.

“It’s been literally 18 years since I’ve been here doing this, and with a little more context, I know how lucky I am and how lucky I am to do this for a living,” Damon said. “I’ve made a lot of movies that people just didn’t go see, so (it’s great) to make one that everyone enjoyed this much.”

Backstage, when asked if he “I know how thought The Mar- lucky I am,” tian fit in the com- said Matt edy category, Damon, Damon joked: “No, winner for it’s a musical.” He The added, “And that’s Martian. what the 18-year gap was: me working on my singing.”

Sylvester Stallone also had a big night, winning supporting actor in a film for reprising his role of Rocky Balboa in Creed.

“Last time I was here, it was 1977 and I was hit by tumbleweeds,” said the emotional Rocky star. “It was a long time ago and a different situation. The view is so beautiful now.”

Steve Jobs took home two awards: supporting actress for Kate Winslet and screenplay for Aaron Sorkin.

“I’m extremely surprised and overwhelmed. Is this really happening?”

Winslet said onstage.

“What an incredible year for women in film.

These categories are so crowded and crammed with incredible skill and integrity, and I feel prouder than ever to be included.”

Winslet, who portrayed Jobs confidante Joanna Hoffman in the movie, said backstage that she forgot to thank Hoffman in her speech but said Jobs’ colleague “was very pleased with the film.

(She said it) was wonderful to see how much of Steve’s warmth comes through in Michael Fassbender’s portrayal of Steve.”

Sorkin went for humility in his acceptance speech: “Honest to God, I thought I had as much chance of winning this screenplay award as I had of winning best actress in a musical.”

‘Star Wars’ continues its box office assault It hits No. 1 again after holding off ‘The Revenant’ Brian Truitt USA TODAY

Not even Leonardo DiCaprio can stop the Star Wars phenomenon.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the newly minted record holder for all-time domestic box office, pulled in another $41.6 million this weekend, according to studio estimates.

The Force Awakens increased

LUCASFILM

Rey (Daisy Ridley), BB-8 and The Force Awakens pile it on.

its record domestic haul to $812 million and added another $104.3 million in the rest of the world —

including a $53 million opening weekend in China, a new Saturday/Sunday record there. It now is the No. 3 movie of all time globally with $1.7 billion, having just passed Jurassic World.

It finished in first place for a fourth weekend and narrowly defeated DiCaprio’s wilderness thriller The Revenant, which made its debut with $38 million in nationwide release ($39.6 million total since opening Christmas Day in limited release).

Director Alejandro González Iñárritu’s latest effort surpassed The Force Awakens on Friday ($14.4 million to $10.8 million), but J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars had a big Saturday “where kids were

probably going back to see it for the third time,” says Rentrak senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “It’s unstoppable.”

The top five was rounded out by the Will Ferrell/Mark Wahlberg comedy Daddy’s Home ($15 million), Natalie Dormer’s horror newcomer The Forest ($13.1 million), and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s Sisters ($7.2 million).

There are few box office worlds left to conquer for The Force Awakens, says Dergarabedian, and what has been most impressive is how quickly it has smashed everything in sight: “The movie’s been out less than a month, and it’s rewritten the record books.”

Final figures are out Monday.

We are lucky to live in a place with such a strong sense of community, so much of which is built on an understanding of what is going on around us and what brings us together. Our local newspaper, the Journal-World, plays a vital role in this process.

’Bama on brink; Clemson in way Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Strauss returns to area, QB Buried under so many other quarterbacks on the Northwest Missouri State depth chart that he would need a firefighter ladder to see the field, former Lawrence High first-team all-state selection Brad Strauss switched to safety in advance of his third year at the Div. II powerhouse.

The news didn’t sit right with me. I remember thinking there is no way an athlete blessed with such a natural feel for quarterback, such an accurate arm, such quick feet and such a creative football brain should end up on defense.

Strauss appeared in reserve at safety in five games for the Bearcats, who last month won their fifth national title. His most extensive playing time came against Lindenwood (where brother Cole has signed to play lacrosse), against which he played the entire fourth quarter and had four tackles.

Strauss said he enjoyed the school, the coaching staff and teammates, but the quarterback in him had unfinished business, so he decided to transfer and visited Baker University, Ottawa University and William Jewell College.

Strauss said in a telephone interview Sunday night that he had chosen William Jewell, an NCAA Div. II school in Liberty, Missouri. If he wins the starting quarterback job, many a football fan who watched him use his amazing instincts at work to fix broken plays and turn them into big gains will make the hourlong drive to watch him play the position he was born to play.

Strauss, who red-shirted his first year in college, will have two remaining years of eligibility beginning with the 2016 season.

“They didn’t promise me I’d be the starter walking in there,” said Strauss, twotime Sunflower League offensive player of the year. “And I wouldn’t want a school to tell me that. I wanted to go to a school that’s competitive. It’s going to be an open competition, and a lot of guys will compete.”

At 6-foot, 195 pounds, Strauss has packed on 20 pounds in the weight room since he played for LHS. He might have lost half a step and rates regaining it and then some as one of his short-term goals. He’s looking forward to running an offense again. He missed playing quarterback as much as many missed watching him play it.

“Just having the game in my control, being able to make plays, running around making plays,” Strauss said of what he missed most after switching to defense.

“At defensive back, it’s a lot of reacting to what they’re doing. On offense, you have the ability to control the game, be more creative.”

Strauss wore No. 11 in high school, but since

Scottsdale, Ariz. (ap) — Regardless of the outcome of tonight’s College Football Playoff championship game between No. 1 Clemson and No. 2 Alabama, a case can be made that no team in the history of the sport has had a better run than the Crimson Tide under coach Nick Saban.

If Alabama beats the Tigers to win a fourth national title in seven seasons, the argument may be settled.

There was talk early in the

season after Alabama lost to Mississippi that the Tide BIG GAME dynasty was in decline. What: NCAA Now Ala- title game bama (13-1) Who: Clemis one vic- son (14-0) tory away vs. Alabama from an un- (13-1) precedented When: 7:30 achievement. tonight The Tide can become TV: ESPN just the third school in college football’s

poll era, dating back to the creation of the Associated Press media poll in 1936, to win four championships in a 10-year span.

Notre Dame won four in seven seasons from 1943-49, but big-time college football is hardly comparable now to then. Those Fighting Irish didn’t play in bowl games and never needed more than nine victories to be the best in the country.

Miami won four championships in nine seasons

(1983-91), but none of those teams had to play more than 12 games.

Alabama’s four championships under Saban, who took over in 2007, have all come in at least 13-game seasons.

“I mean, it’s incredible,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said Sunday during a news conference with Saban. Swinney heaped so much praise Please see TITLE GAME, page 3C

WEST VIRGINIA’S DEVIN WILLIAMS (41) BEATS KANSAS STATE’S D.J. JOHNSON TO A REBOUND during WVU’s 87-83, double-overtime victory over the Wildcats on Jan. 2 in Manhattan. The No. 17 (but likely to rise) Mountaineers will host top-ranked Kansas on Tuesday in a battle of Big 12 co-leaders.

WVU not awed by KU’s lofty ranking

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

West Virginia’s Devin Williams isn’t awed by Kansas University’s No. 1 national ranking heading into Tuesday’s Big 12 Conference showdown, set for a 6 p.m., Central time, tipoff (ESPN2) in Morgantown, West Virginia. “(Kansas) is No. 1. But what does that mean? What if we were put in the Top 10 when we first started? Where would we be? There’s nothing we can do about that number they got,” Williams

told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Saturday after the Mountaineers’ 77-60 home victory over Oklahoma State at WVU Coliseum.

“We had to put ourselves in the Top 25,” Williams added. “At the end of the day, we should feel disrespected, because we’re just as good as anybody in the country — starting five to bench. We can play with anybody in the country.”

KU and West Virginia have identical 14-1, 3-0 records. Yet the Jayhawks are indeed the country’s No. 1 team in the AP poll, while the

Mountaineers checked in at No. 17 last week.

WVU could be a Top 10 team when the latest poll comes out today.

More importantly, after Tuesday, just one team — KU or WVU — will be the only remaining unbeaten in the conference. West Virginia has won at Kansas State and TCU and beaten OSU at home. KU downed Texas Tech, 69-59, on Saturday in Lubbock and has won home games against Oklahoma and Baylor.

“I think it’ll be a war.

They’re going to pressure us.

We have to handle pressure,” KU coach Bill Self said after Saturday’s win. “We also will have to be able to guard them and have plenty of energy.

That’ll be a juiced-up atmosphere playing there. It may be as juiced as anyplace we go this year. They could be in the Top 10. We’ll be ranked real high. It’ll be a great atmosphere. We’ll certainly get unbelievable effort from them.”

Belichick: Chiefs hard to plan against

By Jimmy Golen AP Sports Writer

There are two Kansas City games on Bill Belichick’s mind right now.

One is the Chiefs’ most recent one, when they beat Houston Texans 30-0 on Saturday in the first round of

the NFL playoffs. The other is New England’s previous encounter with them, when they beat the Patriots 41-14 last season — the secondworst defeat of Belichick’s tenure with the Patriots.

“That was a pretty dominant performance by Kansas City,” Belichick told report-

ers Sunday, a day after the Chiefs advanced by shutout to set up the second-round matchup.

“We’re certainly going to have to prepare and coach the team a lot better than we did that night. So that’s what we’ll try to do.”

The loss to Kansas City in

Week 4 last season was a tumultuous time for the Patriots, who were in the middle of what constitutes a slump for them: a pair of AFC championship game losses and a 10th straight year without a Super Bowl victory.

NBA roundup

Nets fire coach, Cavaliers 95, 76ers 85 reassign GM AMERICAN FOOTBALL Philadelphia — CONFERENCE LeBron New York — The Brooklyn Nets fired coach Lionel Hollins and reassigned general manager Billy King on Sunday in the midst of their worst season since moving from New Jersey.

The Nets said assistant Tony Brown will serve as the interim head coach, and the GM position will remain open until a replacement is hired.

The Nets have lost four in a row overall and nine straight at home, where attendance has dwindled at the $1 billion Barclays Center. The Nets had made the playoffs every year since relocating for the 2012-13 season, but they are 10-27, but they are 10-27, better only than the league-worst Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference.

King had been GM since 2010, orchestrating a number of highprofile moves that led to just one playoff series victory. Hollins was in his second season as coach.

“It’s clear from our current state of affairs that we need new leadership,” owner Mikhail Prokhorov said in a statement. “With the right basketball management and coach in place, we are going to create a winning culture and identity and give Brooklyn a team that it can be proud of and enjoy watching.”

King worked hard to fulfill Prokhorov’s goal of winning a championship within five years of buying the team in 2010, making blockbuster trades that brought in Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.

Only Johnson remains, as the Nets decided to cut costs after at one point owning the largest payroll in league history.

LB Watson leaving Kansas

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Sophomore Kyron Watson revealed on Twitter on Sunday night that he will not return to play for Kansas University’s football team in 2016.

“I will not be attending The University of Kansas anymore,” Watson wrote. “I will truly miss it though.”

The reserve linebacker from East St. Louis, Illinois, played in 15 games during his two years in Lawrence, but did not make the kind of impact many expected when he

past two seasons. The Jayhawks lost both times — to an unranked Mountaineer team, 92-86, in 2014 and 62-61, to No. 23-rated WVU, last Feb. 16. l

Winning on road: KU forward Perry Ellis has been around long enough — four years, in fact — to know all wins on the road classify as good wins.

“It’s always tough every game you go play.

You always get their best shot,” Ellis said after Saturday’s 10-point win.

“It’s always a tough game for us down here,” he added of Lubbock, where KU needed an Andrew Wiggins tip to win at the buzzer two seasons ago. “We fought to the end.

“It’s always a great feeling to get that road win,” added Ellis, who scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in 31 minutes. He also had two assists, three turnovers and a block.

The Jayhawks were able to survive an off

on his counterpart during the half-hour session with reporters that Saban looked a little uncomfortable.

“Coach Saban, what he’s done, I mean, he’s one of the greatest coaches that ever coached the game,” Swinney said.

Saban also has a BCS title from his time at LSU, giving him four overall.

Only former Alabama coach Bear Bryant with six has more.

“This is the first one I’ve sniffed as a coach, and he’s going for his fifth,” said Swinney, who is in his eighth season at Clemson. “It’s incredible.”

Clemson has one national championship to its credit. Behind Danny Ford, an Alabama native and former Tide player for Bryant, the Tigers won the title in 1981 by beating favored Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.

The Tigers are back on the biggest stage and again being led by an Alabaman and former Tide player. Swinney grew up near Birmingham and played for Alabama when Gene Stallings was the coach in the early 1990s.

He was on the Tide team that won a national championship in 1992, upsetting Miami in the Sugar

that already was taken, he requested No. 10. He will be reunited with one of his favorite high school targets, Drake Hofer, who ranked fifth on the squad

signed with the Jayhawks in February of 2014.

He played in 11 of 12 games as a true freshman on defense and special teams but never seemed to possess the speed and mobility to warrant a heavy workload in the Big 12 and played in just four games during the winless 2015 season.

The 6-foot, 225-pound big hitter earned a fourstar rating out of high school from ESPN.com and was a three-star prospect by both Rivals.com and Scout.com. Rivals ranked him as the 22ndbest outside linebacker

in the nation in the Class of 2014, and he chose KU over offers from California, Cincinnati, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Purdue, Syracuse and TCU. There is no word yet on where Watson will transfer, though it seems likely he could look for a school closer to his hometown and young daughter.

Watson’s departure is the second piece of linebacker news to come out of the KU football program during the past week. Earlier in the week, linebackers coach Kevin Kane officially left KU to become the defensive

coordinator at Northern Illinois, where he worked before coming to join David Beaty’s staff at his alma mater.

Even with Watson leaving, the KU linebacking corps will return second-leading tackler Joe Dineen and veterans Marquis Roberts and Courtney Arnick in 2016.

The coaching staff also has high hopes for Baker transfer and Free State High grad Keith Loneker, who sat out the 2015 seaKelsie Netzer/AP Photo son after transferring, MICHIGAN STATE’S DENZEL VALENTINE (45) LOOKS TO PASS and Kendall Duckworth, while being guarded by Penn State forward Julian Moore who played as a walk-on during Michigan State’s 92-65 victory on Sunday in State in 2015.

night from two of their three starting guards.

Wayne Selden Jr., who did not score the first half, wound up with nine points off 4-of-13 shooting in 33 minutes. Devonté Graham had four points off 1-of-6 shooting, with four boards, two assists and one turnover in 30 minutes. The other starting guard, Frank Mason III, had 17 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and two turnovers in 31 minutes.

“Frank played like the best point guard in the country,” Selden said.

“We needed him tonight because me and Devonté weren’t there. When Frank steps up like that, it’s big for us.”

Graham also lauded Mason’s effort.

“Unbelievable energy.

We feed off him,” Graham said. “He always is aggressive. He made shots for us late. Ten boards is big considering we outrebounded them by 16 (42-26). Getting on the boards was big, and he hit some big shots.”

Mason hit three of eight floor shots (three of six threes) and was 8-for8 from the line.

“He’s as good at anybody at forcing help and getting his shoulders past people,” Self said.

“He backs out of way too many plays. A lot of times he’ll move the ball right when the ball screen is being set, which is fine for anybody else, but not for him because he’s so good off ball screens.

There’s a lot of times he can play ‘Take ’Em,’ when in all honesty he doesn’t do that near as often as what I’d like. He’s learning, and I tried to rest him more tonight.

“It seemed he didn’t play much, and he played 33 minutes. It seemed to me I didn’t have him out there as much. I think he can give us a lot more.”

Hunter (Mickelson) ... I knew they (Red Raiders) would go to him, and that would have been his third foul to start (second half).

Landen had three (first half); Mari (Jamari Traylor) had three. I wanted to see if he (Bragg) could get out there and buy some time. I think he did a nice job.”

l

Bragg fares well: Freshman forward Carlton Bragg, who started the second half, had four points off 2-of-3 shooting, with three boards and three turnovers in 14 minutes.

“I thought he was great,” Self said. “He made one bad play. We had total momentum. He tries to back down that big fella (Norense Odiase) and turned it over, which led to a runout.

Bowl. Alabama then went through a long dry spell until Saban arrived.

“People will say, well, anybody can go win at Alabama,” Swinney said.

“Not everybody can coach a great team. Not everybody can coach a great player, and I think he has a gift to be able to do that.”

Under Swinney, the Tigers have won at least 10 games each of the last five seasons, just like Ala-

bama. And Clemson has its own shot at history: If the Tigers win the national title, they would become the first team to achieve a 15-0 season.

“We want to be a program that is competing at this level on a consistent basis and I think to do that, you’ve got to be a top-10, top-15 type program year in and year out,” Swinney said.

Alabama has been even

with 177 receiving yards for Jewell (4-7) last season.

“It’ll be fun throwing to Drake again,” said Strauss, whose begins classes at William Jewel next week. “I’m looking forward to learning the offense and meshing with the receivers before spring ball starts.”

Strauss said the of-

fense is similar to what he ran at LHS. “Spread, zone read, West Coast, quick passing game,” Strauss said. “They really give the quarterback a lot of control out there. They call a run play and a pass play, you get to the line of scrimmage, and the quarterback makes the

More road talk: Graham agreed with Ellis that life on the road will be tough again this year.

“It was our first conference road game. All games on the road are big,” Graham said. “In order to be a good team you’ve got to be able to win on the road. It was a big win. We have another big one on Tuesday.” l

Olson watch list: KU’s Ellis is one of six players in the Big 12 who have been placed on the Lute Olson midseason watch list. The award goes to the country’s top Div. I player who has played at least two seasons. Other Big 12 players on the list: Monté Morris, Georges Niang, Iowa State; Rico Gathers, Baylor; Buddy Hield, Oklahoma; and Williams, West Virginia.

better than that. Since going 7-6 in Saban’s first season, the Tide is 97-12 and has never finished out of the final AP top 10.

No surprise: Saban has not been part of the legacy talk this week. Pondering his place in history won’t help his players tonight at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Some other things to know about the second College Football Playoff national championship game.

Deshaun football: If Clemson is going to beat Alabama and break down a ferocious Alabama defense, Heisman Trophy finalist Deshaun Watson will lead the way. The sophomore is the most talented quarterback Alabama has faced and he poses a threat running and passing.

Heisman Henry: The Crimson Tide used Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry, who has set Southeastern Conference records for rushing yards (2,061) and touchdowns (25), as a complimentary part of its offense in beating Michigan State 38-0 in the Cotton Bowl.

Henry had 20 carries for 75 yards. Don’t be surprised if the Tide goes back to a heavy dose of Henry.

Hold the line: Alabama’s defensive line is the best and deepest in college football, led by All-American A’Shawn Robinson.

Rodgers sparks Pack Landover, Md. (ap) — For Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the Green Bay Packers’ offense, the first quarter of their playoff game Sunday looked quite similar to the stagnant way their regular season wound down.

Not a lot of progress.

Not a lot of points. Not a lot of fun.

Rodgers opened the NFC wild-card game against Washington by going 1-for-8, and the Packers’ first four drives went: punt, safety, punt, punt. They gained all of 11 yards heading into the second period, and they trailed by double digits.

And then, spurred by using the hurry-up approach he loves, Rodgers played like a two-time NFL MVP. Drawing defensive penalties with quick snaps, making adjustments at the line of scrimmage, and running the show the way few QBs can, Rodgers threw for a pair of TDs while Eddie Lacy and James Starks each ran for a score, and Green Bay came back to overwhelm the NFC East champions, 35-18.

“We got the tempo up, and they couldn’t keep up,” said Rodgers, who finished 21-for-36 for 210 yards and no turnovers.

“We became a snowball, kind of going downhill, and it was tough for us to stop.”

That was missing while the Packers were losing their final two games and six of their last 10 after a 6-0 start, letting the NFC North title slip away. And it was missing early Sun-

“I talked a lot the last couple weeks about being able to turn it on, and a lot of you probably thought that was lip service,” Rodgers told reporters.

“But we just needed a game like this to get our mojo back and get our confidence going. I said this week that it just takes one. It just takes one performance to get us going back in the right direction and believing that we can make a run.”

Green Bay (11-6) will play at the No. 2 seed Arizona Cardinals on Satur-

day night. It’s a rematch of a Week 16 game that Arizona dominated 38-8.

“The main thing is everybody just needs to realize the taste they had in their mouth last time,” Packers receiver James Jones said.

In the other NFC game next weekend, the No. 1 seed Carolina Panthers will host the wild-card Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

With the Packers and Seahawks joining the AFC’s Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs, it’s the first time road teams went 4-0 in the

Chiefs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

New Englanders began to wonder if quarterback Tom Brady, who was pulled from the game after throwing two interceptions, was slowing down at age 37.

Belichick famously responded to all big-picture questions with a dismissive, “We’re on to Cincinnati.”

And the Patriots did turn things around, winning 10 of their next 11 regular-season games and then earning their fourth Super Bowl title.

MINNESOTA KICKER BLAIR WALSH (3) MISSES A FIELD GOAL late in the Vikings’ 10-9 loss to Seattle on Sunday in Minneapolis. goal by Steven Hauschka.

The Vikings (11-6) took the ball for the deciding drive with 1:42 left at their 39 and, aided by a pass-interference penalty on Kam Chancellor, drove deep into Seattle’s territory.

After draining the clock for the seemingly inevitable win, Walsh simply missed the winner after making all three of his earlier attempts.

“That’s called grace,” Chancellor said. “That’s all it is.”

Seattle will play next

weekend at Carolina, where the Panthers had a first-round bye in balmy mid-50s weather.

“I think we were fortunate that we got the win,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “A lot of those times, guys make those kicks. There’s a high percentage that they make them, but you’ve still got to do it.”

Walsh didn’t hide.

Holder Jeff Locke had the laces turned in, not out, but there were no excuses to be made.

“You’re confident, but you never think that

are a lot of things to think about,” Belichick said on Sunday.

“There’s been 25 games since then. A thousand plays on either side of the ball. There are some things we can take from it. There are some things that are outdated. ... It has relevance.”

The Patriots (12-4), who earned a first-round bye, will play the Chiefs in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Saturday for the right to advance to the AFC championship game.

“They’re doing a phenomenal job. Bill’s a friend, he’s a heck of a football coach. Tom Brady is unbelievable. And the job they’ve done there, the accomplishments they’ve had, they’ve made his-

tory,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “We look forward to the challenge of playing them. That’s what this is all about.”

But while Belichick may be pondering that game against Kansas City a couple of years ago, Reid is hardly giving it a thought.

“Listen, that was then, this is now, so you prepare yourself,” he said.

“We’ve got guys playing now that were watching that on TV.” New England is trying to reach its fifth straight conference title game, but the Chiefs have a streak of their own.

Kansas City (12-5) has won 11 straight games, including the victory over the Texans.

Errant kick dooms Vikings Minneapolis (ap) — Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks needed more than three quarters to warm up at Minnesota, their quest to avenge last year’s Super Bowl loss nearly frozen before it began.

The Vikings, after gritting through this grindit-out wild-card round playoff game, booted their chance to beat the two-time defending NFC champions. Blair Walsh’s 27-yard field- goal try into the frigid wind hooked left with 22 seconds remaining, handing the Seahawks a 10-9 victory over the stunned Vikings on a Sunday in below-zero weather that tied for the third-coldest NFL game on record.

“A lot of people would’ve folded up and said, ‘That’s it,’ but we’ve got a team full of fighters,” Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman said.

The Kansas City Chiefs turned their attention to the Patriots on Sunday, where they may be without star wide receiver Jeremy Maclin for their divisional round game.

Kansas City snapped an eight-game postseason losing streak with its 30-0 victory over the Texans on Saturday. But advancing to the Chiefs’ first AFC championship game 1993 could be tough if Maclin, by far their top pass catcher, is unable to play next Saturday in New England.

The Chiefs initially feared Maclin had hurt his right ACL. But an MRI revealed the ligament intact, and that he sustained an ankle sprain.
