n a room full of city employees Thursday afternoon, Mayor Mike Amyx named Lawrence’s incoming city manager: Tom Markus, the current city manager of Iowa City, Iowa.

Markus, 64, is expected to start the week of March 21 and will earn an annual base salary of $190,000. He was selected from an initial pool of 54 applicants, which had been narrowed to three finalists before city commissioners said nearly one month ago they had made a decision.

After reading a prepared statement Thursday, Amyx asked city staff to turn on a large monitor showing Markus on a video call.

“Being able to have you at the top post is going to be a great fit for our community,” Amyx said later. “This is truly a great day for Lawrence, Kan.”

The board is in the early stages of coming up with an idea for a pilot project that could demonstrate how the community can offer more affordable housing options.

Topeka — Kansas legislators moved quickly Thursday to see that the state’s courts remain open despite a legal dispute that’s threatening the judiciary’s entire budget.

The House Appropriations Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee approved separate but identical bills to repeal a 2015 law on the court system’s budget enacted by Republi- LEGISLATURE cans. The law tied all funding for the courts through June 2017 to a failed effort to curb the Kansas Supreme Court’s administrative power.

Both chambers could vote on their bills next week. Each committee forwarded its measure on a unanimous voice vote, with its Republican chairman saying that lawmakers never intended to shut the courts down.

“It’s got to be fixed,” District Judge Daniel Creitz, of Allen County, chief judge for the fourcounty 31st Judicial District in southeast Kansas, told the House committee.

Supporters of an anti-discrimination bill that would protect gay, lesbian and transgender Kansans from discrimination told a House committee Thursday the bill is needed to protect those individuals from needless harassment, abuse and discrimination.

But opponents of the bill said it would open the floodgates to lawsuits against churches, and even business owners, who object to gay and lesbian relationships on religious grounds, and that it would result in a loss of religious freedoms for others.

Those were just some of the arguments heard in the House Judiciary Committee during a hearing on House Bill 2323, which would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected classifications in the Kansas Act Against Discrimination.

Courts CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Republican legislators in 2014 enacted a law stripping the Supreme Court of its power to appoint the chief judges in each of the state’s 31 judicial districts, giving it to the local judges. Then, with a lawsuit against that change pending, GOP lawmakers passed the 2015 law, which declared the court system’s entire budget “null and void” if the 2014 law were struck down.

The Supreme Court last month ruled unanimously that the 2014 law violated the Kansas Constitution by infringing on the power granted to the justices to administer the state’s courts.

Even before the high court ruled, Attorney General Derek Schmidt, a Republican, persuaded a judge in Neosho County — in Creitz’s district — to put the 2015 law on hold until March 15, giving legislators time to rewrite or repeal it.

Critics of the attempt to lessen the Supreme Court’s administrative authority saw it as an attack on the judiciary’s independence

by GOP conservatives who’ve criticized multiple high court rulings, particularly ones requiring lawmakers to boost spending on public schools.

But supporters of the 2014 and 2015 laws said

Kansas wheat —8 cents, $4.68 See more stocks and commodities in the USA Today section.

they were an attempt to give local judges more say in how their courts operate.

“No one at any time has ever wanted to threaten the existence of the judicial budget,” said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Jeff King, an Independence Republican and an architect of both laws.

But even if legislators speed a bill to Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s desk, the courts could face a reduction in the funding already approved for them as lawmakers wrestle with budget issues. The judiciary’s current budget is $133 million, and its funding is set to rise during the fiscal year beginning July 1 to $138 million, or by 3.6 percent.

The state faces a $190 million budget deficit for the next fiscal year. During the House committee’s meeting, conservative Republican Rep. Jerry Lunn, of Overland Park, said lawmakers are concerned that a volatile global economy is on the brink of a recession that could reduce state revenues and force it to cut spending.

“We may have to make adjustments on the fly,” he said.

Salaries account for 94 percent of the court system’s entire budget.

Creitz said cuts in existing funding levels will force the Supreme Court to close courthouses and give employees outside of judges unpaid days off.

Before Markus is officially hired, the City Commission must approve his employment agreement.

The agreement is on the commission’s agenda for Tuesday.

Besides $190,000 in base salary, the proposed agreement provides another $15,000 that will go into a deferred compensation fund in Markus’ first year. After his first year, the deferred pay will increase to whatever is the maximum amount of deferred payment allowed by law. Those maximums change annually. According to the Internal Revenue Service, the maximum amount of deferred compensation for 2015 and 2016 is $18,000, plus another $6,000 for those 50 and older.

In addition to his base salary, deferred contributions and other benefits, Markus will receive up to $30,000 in reimbursements for moving costs.

After five years in Iowa City, Markus earns a $173,000 base salary in Iowa City, plus about $22,000 in deferred compensation.

Former Lawrence City Manager David Corliss left in June to take a job as town manager of Castle Rock, Colo. When he left, Corliss had served nearly a decade as Lawrence’s top nonelected official.

According to city employee salary documents from 2013, the most recent year available, Corliss grossed $186,915 in 2013. The base annual salary for the position was listed as $140,000.

Corliss earned $187,785 in 2014, according to a database from the Kansas Policy Institute.

“I can tell you, at this stage, that’s not the most important thing that determines what I do or don’t do,” Markus said of the earnings. “I want

LGBT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Sandra Meade, of Olathe, a Navy veteran and former Defense Department analyst who described herself as transgender, told the panel of the difficulties she and other transgender residents face in a state such as Kansas that offers them no legal protections.

“Once they come out, many transgender people are faced with a loss of respect and privilege, regardless of their personal history prior to the moment they came out,” Meade said. “It’s as if prior life experience and accomplishments were of no value, and their dreams and hopes of no interest.”

Tom Witt, executive director of the gay rights advocacy group Equality Kansas, said gay and lesbian children are the ones most in need of protection.

He cited statistics that show 1.3 million children are living on the streets in the United States, many of them runaways, and that one in three of them are lured into prostitution within 48 hours of running away.

But in 2013, he said, Kansas lawmakers objected to proposed regulations that would have banned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation for those children seeking refuge in safe houses run by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

“These are the people that we think need to be protected, who are most vulnerable,” he said. “One of the reasons for not wanting to include sexual orientation in the safe house regulations was because it was not in state statute.

“

I want to be engaged in a place where we’re making progress and making improvements.”

— Tom Markus, incoming city manager to be engaged in a place where we’re making progress and making improvements. Over time, those things don’t affect me as much as maybe some other candidate.”

When talking about his salary in Iowa City, Markus said there was concern among the Lawrence commission that he had also received the $22,000 in deferred compensation.

The process to narrow the pool of city manager candidates to one person lasted more than four months, and the negotiation process — once Markus was selected — took another month.

Negotiations were paused over the holidays.

“There’s always a give and take in the negotiation of a contract,” Markus said. “Those things take time.”

Amyx thanked the public Thursday for its patience during the process. Commissioner Matthew Herbert said the time was needed to make a good decision.

“For us, this is the single biggest decision we may make this term,” Herbert said. “Having such a good leadership at the city manager level, there was no hurry. The sky was not falling in Lawrence, Kan. There was no rush. We knew we could take our time and find the right one, and I think we have with Tom.” Markus’ employment contract with Iowa City mandates he offer the city council 60 days notice that he’s leaving that position. If the Lawrence City Commission approves his agreement Tuesday, Markus said he would then give the notice.

Markus said he was

“overjoyed” to find out he was chosen.

“It’s refreshing, quite frankly, that a manager long in the tooth still has some desirability out in the public,” the 64-yearold said.

The two other finalists — Cheryl Harrison-Lee, the city administrator of Gardner, and Rod Bremby, a commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Social Services and former Secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment — are 53 and 55, respectively.

“I’m very proud to be your city manager, and I’m humbled by the opportunity,” Markus said.

“I look forward to getting started and seeing if we can make an improvement every day we work together.”

In his first months as Lawrence’s city manager, Markus said, he wants to start to understand the community and culture and then suggest beginning a strategic planning process. One change he wants to make in the city is collaborating more with Kansas University and Douglas County.

Markus has worked in municipal government since 1973, when he started as an administrative intern in his hometown of Waseca, Minn. He has served as a city manager in various Midwestern cities since 1977.

He and his wife, Debra, will be required, under his employment agreement, to establish residency in Lawrence six months after his start date. The couple has three grown children in Michigan, Wisconsin and Utah.

“

These (gay and lesbian children) are the people that we think need to be protected, who are most vulnerable.”

— Tom Witt, executive director of Equality Kansas statutes is going to protect these tens of thousands of kids in Kansas who are vulnerable to human trafficking.”

But opponents of the bill said that would open the doors to a flood of other legal issues and could subject businesses, and even churches, to lawsuits if they refuse to participate in same-sex marriages or cater to the LGBT community.

Rep. Jan Pauls, RHutchinson, a member of the committee, testified against the bill, saying it would dilute the rights of all other protected classes in the non-discrimination law because the bill would protect both homosexual and heterosexual individuals from discrimination.

“Our concern is that once you add sexual orientation that basically protects every individual in the state, because someone’s heterosexual, or homosexual, or any of these other provisions,” Pauls said. “Once you put everybody into a protected class, that basically destroys the whole concept of a protected class.”

But most of the opposition testimony came from Kellie Fiedorek, an attorney with the Alliance Defending Freedom, a national conservative Christian organization, who said the bill would subject business owners such as florists and caterers to liability if they refuse on religious grounds to participate in same-sex weddings.

She spoke of one client she represents in Washington state, which has a similar law, who is now

being sued by a former employee after declining to provide flowers for his wedding with another man.

The committee took no action on the bill Thursday. Rep. John Barker, RAbilene, who chairs the committee, said the panel is only holding hearings during the early part of the session and decisions will be made later about which ones to consider sending to the floor of the full House.

House Majority Leader Jene Vickrey, R-Louisburg, said the hearing showed there were many questions and issues surrounding protection for gay rights, including whether the bill would put churches and religious organizations in legal jeopardy.

But Rep. John Carmichael, D-Wichita, who sponsored the bill, said the Kansas Act Against Discrimination already exempts churches, religious groups and fraternal organizations. He conceded, though, that the bill is unlikely to go anywhere unless there is pressure from the general public.

“The future progress of this bill does not depend on what happens inside this Statehouse,” he said.

“The future progress of this bill will depend on what happens in society as a whole. It will take the input of individuals who are opposed to discrimination to persuade the current Legislature that this bill should become the law of Kansas.”

“I figured the biggest rematch at Allen Fieldhouse in modern history would be an opportunity to draw attention to the shortage of affordable housing in Lawrence and the need for a dedicated revenue source for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund,” Ozark said via email.

The city’s trust fund has dwindled to about $100,000, in part because the City Commission hasn’t determined a revenue stream for the fund.

As for the basketball tickets, the pair of tickets opened Thursday night on eBay, and bidding will last through 9 p.m.

Jan. 24. You can find out the specifics about the tickets and get to the appropriate location to bid by searching “KU/KY Basketball Tickets” on eBay’s home page.

There’s no telling how much the tickets may bring. The KU vs. Kentucky game is definitely a hot ticket. Tickets on the reselling site StubHub start at about $500 and quickly go up from there.

There are even 12 tickets for sale in the G section of Allen Fieldhouse — right near the floor — priced at $27,000 apiece.

McNair was one of three candidates for the annual scholarship and recognition program.

Marcya’ Floyd, a senior at Free State High School, and Verneisha Jackson, a senior at Lawrence High School, also competed for the honor.

FROM LEFT, DANCERS ELEANOR GOUDIE-AVERILL AND JULIET REMMERS rehearse their dance piece, “Scenarios,” at the Cider Gallery. The piece will be performed at 7 and 8 p.m. Saturday at the gallery.

Cider Gallery to present multimedia evening of dance Saturday

S

aturday will see the premiere of “Scenarios,” a new dance piece by Lawrence Arts Center dance education resident Eleanor Goudie-Averill, at Lawrence’s Cider Gallery, 810 Pennsylvania St. Inspired by the UK-based art duo Gilbert & George, the choreography evokes “a strange kind of time warp between Baroque classicism and commedia dell’arte and mime,” with what GoudieAverill refers to as “Space Age-y movements.”

The Topeka native — and niece of longtime Arts Center artistic director of performing arts Ric Averill — has spent the past six months working with young dancers at the Arts Center as part of her residency.

Aside from a 2014-2015 teaching stint at the University of Iowa, where she received her master’s degree in dance performance, Goudie-Averill has spent the bulk of her career in Philadelphia, performing in several dance companies and co-directing the Stone Depot Dance Lab. “Most of the work I’m doing at the Arts Center is basically for children and with children, which is wonderful, but I wanted to make a piece that was a bit more adult and followed the work I started with my dance company in Philadelphia,” Goudie-Averill says.

She also wanted a chance to collaborate with Kansas University guest lecturer Juliet Remmers, whom she first met as an instructor at the Lawrence Arts Center several years ago, before Remmers’ upcoming move to Taiwan.

“Scenarios,” she explains, is actually a duet comprising two simultaneous solos, with the

at the Iowa Women’s Archive.

In recent years, Goudie-Averill says, “dance has been moving more toward the digital.”

“Your framing is chosen for you in a film — the way you see the body and from what angle is chosen for you,” she says, whereas at the Cider Gallery performance, “You can choose your own framing. You can be view it walking around or see it sitting jhlavacek@ljworld.com or standing.”

Eudora school board OKs new strategic plan

ON THE

street

By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark_ljw

The Eudora school board voted at its meeting Thursday to approve the district’s strategic plan for 2016-2018.

As with districts statewide, the issue of school funding has a major impact on Eudora’s overall plan.

“The Kansas Legislature’s withering support for public schools will play a significant role in how this plan’s goals are approached and the extent to which they can be completed,” the plan reads.

The plan places a greater emphasis on organizational strength than the 2013-2015 plan. One goal of the 2016-2018 plan is to establish a human resources department to oversee hiring and retention of district employees.

For students, some of the goals listed in the plan include exploring

feasibility and funding to increase participation among 3- and 4-yearolds in a high-quality preschool and seeking grant-funded opportunities to provide additional mental health support to students and families.

In technology goals, the district plan includes increasing the numbers of computers and tablets in classrooms to lower the studentto-device ratio; increasing knowledge and access for student families to use district technology; and collaborating with community resources to coordinate affordable off-campus Internet access for all students, for which planning should begin by this September.

Finally, the strategic plan lists goals of collaborating with community agencies such as the city, county and chamber of commerce, as well as increasing partnerships with business representatives.

Steve Splichal said he was impressed with the “level of detail and thought and energy” that went into the process of creating the strategic plan.

“We had outstanding participation from our community; from certainly our faculty, administration, our board; very much wanting to do the good work of determining the vision for where we need to go in this district over the next three years,” he said.

Splichal also said he was impressed with the transparent, open process of crafting the plan.

The Eudora school board generally meets at 7 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month at room 108 of the West Resource Center, 1310 Winchester Road in Eudora.

Since October, the three candidates have participated in community service projects as well as weekly work sessions to prepare for the competition. At the work sessions, the candidates worked with club staff to complete a short-answer questionnaire, write three essays and develop their speech for the public event.

For the first time this year, all three Lawrence Youth of the Year candidates will receive a $1,000 college scholarship — funded by an anonymous donor — that is renewable for four years with academic progress.

As the winner, McNair will participate in the state Youth of the Year competition. State winners each receive a $5,000 scholarship and advance to regional competitions.

But when the professor is an acclaimed opera singer, an alternate lecture format may be in order.

Joyce Castle, university distinguished professor of voice in KU’s School of Music, will direct and sing in the one-act opera “Strawberry Fields” Castle for her distinguished professor inaugural “lecture.”

The performance, which is free and open to the public, is scheduled for 6 p.m. Jan. 21 at CraftonPreyer Theatre in Murphy Hall, 1530 Naismith Drive.

Castle, who has taught at KU since 2001, was named a distinguished professor in 2014.

Community members will have another chance to see Castle perform later that weekend. KU opera will present “Strawberry Fields” and “Comedy on the Bridge” at 7:30 p.m.

Langston Hughes winners announced Fiction writer Kate Russell and poet Tai Amri Spann-Wilson are the winners of this year’s Langston Hughes Award for writing, the Raven Book Store announced Wednesday.

Co-sponsored by the Raven and the Lawrence Arts Center, the annual award — and its $500 cash prize — is given to two writers who continue Hughes’ tradition of portraying life experience through poetry and prose.

A celebration and reading will be held in honor of the winners in the main auditorium of the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., at 7 p.m.

Feb. 1, Hughes’ birthday. A reception will follow in the Arts Center gallery.

Russell, originally from Maine, is a Ph.D. student in creative writing at Kansas University. Her fiction and creative nonfiction have appeared in Quarterly West, Mid-American Review, Hayden’s Ferry Review, Crab Orchard Review, Beloit Fiction Journal, Barrelhouse and Redivider, among others.

Drawing from his Philadelphia and New Jersey lineage, Spann-Wilson’s work deconstructs race, class, gender and sexuality, and incorporates his various spiritual interests. He is a graduate of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University.

their experience with the club, current elementary members did dances and the junior Youth of the Year participants came up on the stage to be honored.

When McNair was announced as the winner, her emotion was evident.

“I’m not usually a crier and I’m fairly good at holding back most of the time, but I’m having trouble right now,” she began. “I want to thank all of the people in my life who believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself and the people who stood by me when I was at my best and when I was at my worst.”

McNair thanked in particular her family, which she said is the reason why she keeps pushing to be a good role model. McNair said in her speech that her mom, Melissa Johnson, who is a kindergarten teacher, has been her inspiration.

“When I grow up and I become a teacher,” she said, “I want to be someone that my students can look up to.”

Specifically, 29 percent of faculty and staff thought faculty and staff should be allowed to carry concealed in faculty offices, but only 14 percent thought students should be allowed to carry in offices. There was even less support for visitors carrying in offices.

It sounds more likely that survey results could inform how each state university decides how to implement the law on their respective campuses. The Regents are scheduled to approve a statewide policy next week, which will leave it up to each school to determine specifics such as which buildings to install security in to prohibit guns and where on campus to offer secure storage for guns.

Husband’s sexual orientation isn’t a trust issue Dear Annie: I met my husband in college.

He was outgoing, handsome and a star athlete. We now have two beautiful babies and, I thought, a perfect marriage.

A month ago, we had dinner with a couple we’ve known for years. One of them said something about “bisexuals,” to which I replied, “There is no such thing. You are either gay or straight.”

Everyone looked uncomfortable.

The next day, my husband told me said that he bisexual.

He said thatishe is bisexual.

Annie, I wish he’d never told me. I’ve been upset ever since.

I believe my husband when he says he is not interested in anyone else, but I have to ask, is there really such a thing as “bisexual”?

My sister says that is just what people claim before they come out as gay. And second, how can I trust my husband when he kept this secret from me for so long?

Songwriting prize goes to Willie Nelson “The life I love is making music with my friends,” is a lyric from “On the Road Again,” a popular 1980 hit for Willie Nelson, whose life is celebrated in “Willie Nelson: The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings).

Taped last November, the special honors the prolific, perennially touring singer/songwriter who redefined country music even as he has expanded his audience.

Nelson performs many of his sign a t u r e hits along with Edie Brickell, Leon Bridges, Rosanne Cash, Ana Gabriel, Jamey Johnson, Alison Krauss, Raul Malo of The Mavericks, Neil Young and Buckwheat Zydeco. He is also joined by fellow Gershwin Prize recipient Paul Simon.

I’m no musician or music critic, but I have always found Nelson’s voice and delivery to be utterly distinctive. The moment you hear him sing one note, you know it’s Willie Nelson. Nobody else sounds like him. Not unlike Fred Astaire, another unique and distinctive performer, Nelson’s delivery often blurred the line between singing and talking.

Even when delivered by more melodic voices, his early songwriting hits had the aura of the confessional, the sound of a lonely soul talking to himself.

His first big hit, “Hello Walls,” a No. 1 hit for Faron Young in 1961, spoke of the solitary confinement of the lovelorn. “Crazy,” a 1961 hit for Patsy Cline, speaks for itself, and Ray Price’s cover of “Night Life” has a similar introspective feel.

Nelson is among the many artists to defy the adage that “there are no second acts in American life.” His stint as a hit-maker for Nashville gave way to an “outlaw” movement more than a decade later, when Nelson and other artists challenged the country music establishment, often from the friendly confines of Austin, Texas, a place better known for cosmic cowboys than the Grand Ole Opry. By the 1980s, Nelson was crossing over between country and pop, appearing frequently on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson.

Over the course of his career, Nelson the songwriter has never been shy about interpreting the works of others, recording everything from “Blue Skies” by Irving Berlin to Leon Russell’s “A Song For You” and Hal David and Albert Hammond’s “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before.”

Perhaps that’s why this songwriter’s songwriter is way overdue for the Gershwin Prize. You just might say it’s high time.

ity is more complicated and that some people are attracted to both sexes. And one’s sexual orientation has nothing to do with remaining faithful to one’s partner. Your husband is the same man you fell in love with. If you trust him, your marriage is solid.

Please look into PFLAG (pflag.org) which can offer information that will help you understand what’s going on. But if you find that your marriage is floundering over this, consider counseling from someone who specializes in LGBT marriages and can address your specific concerns.

Opinion

Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Friday, January 15, 2016

EDITORIALS

Correct course Kansas House and Senate committees have set the right tone by taking quick action to restore the state’s judicial budget.

E

arly signs are that Kansas legislators will move quickly to resolve a potential crisis over the budget for the state’s judicial branch — and that’s good news for the state.

On Thursday, the House Appropriations Committee and Senate Judiciary Committee approved identical bills to restore the judicial budget. The bills toss out a 2015 law that included a “nonseverability clause” tying judicial funding to a 2014 law changing the way chief judges are appointed in the state’s 31 judicial districts. The clause required that the entire law, which included funding of the judicial branch, would be thrown out if any part of the law was found to be invalid. A subsequent court ruling that the change in chief judges’ appointments was unconstitutional had put the judicial budget in jeopardy.

Republican lawmakers reportedly said Thursday they didn’t want to close the courts. That’s good, but it raises the question of why they inserted the nonseverability clause in the first place — especially when a lawsuit contesting the chief judge selection change already had been filed.

It seemed they were trying to pick a fight with the court system, but perhaps they’ve had a change of heart. For whatever reason, it’s good to see legislators taking quick and straightforward action to resolve the issue. Hopefully, the bills will move smoothly through the legislative process without any tinkering or controversy.

Even with the budgets restored, more controversy likely is ahead for the state’s judiciary, thanks to Gov. Sam Brownback’s renewed call for amending the Kansas Constitution to change the way justices on the Kansas Supreme Court are selected. Despite his repeated assertion that our system is out of step with the rest of the nation, Kansas is one of 24 states that uses a merit system with a nominating commission to select supreme court justices. Rather than try to address any concerns about the makeup of the Kansas commission, Brownback continues to advocate throwing out the merit system in favor of a more political system in which the governor appoints justices with Senate confirmation.

A proposed constitutional amendment to change the selection process failed to make it through the Legislature last year and legislators may not want to tackle this issue again in an election year. That, like quick action to restore the judicial budgets, would be a smart and practical choice.

Campus bill tops Rubio’s missteps Washington — What boxer Sonny Liston’s manager said of him (Sonny had his good points, the trouble was his bad points) is true of Marco Rubio. His strengths include intelligence, articulateness and, usually, cheerfulness.

His misjudgments involve, in ascending order of importance, the Senate immigration bill of 2013, sugar, Libya and S-590. Together these reveal a recurring penchant for illconsidered undertakings.

Rubio’s retreat, under withering political heat, from the immigration bill was undignified but not reprehensible.

The bill had 1,197 pages because the 906-page Affordable Care Act had not slaked the congressional appetite for “comprehensive” solutions to complex problems. The immigration bill solved everything, down to the hourly wage of immigrant agricultural sorters ($9.84). Rubio shared this serene knowingness.

His sugar addiction is a reprehensible but not startling example of the routine entanglements of big government and big business. He has benefited from the support of Florida’s wealthy sugar producers, who have benefited from sugar import quotas and other corporate welfare that forces Americans to pay approximately twice the world price for sugar. What is, however, startling is Rubio’s preposterous defense of this corporate welfare as a national security imperative: Without our government rigging the sugar market, “other countries will capture the market share, our agricultural capacity will be developed into real estate, you know, housing and so forth, and then we lose the

“

His support of S-590, the Campus Accountability and Safety Act, indicates a susceptibility to trendy temptations, carelessness regarding evidence, and indifference to constitutional values.” capacity to produce our own food, at which point we’re at the mercy of a foreign country for food security.”

This promiscuous invocation of national security brings us to Rubio’s enthusiastic support of the Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton intervention in Libya, which Rubio faults for having been insufficiently enthusiastic. This 2011 plunge into a tribal society’s civil war, this eight-month assassination attempt using fighter bombers, this supposedly humanitarian imperialism appealed to Secretary of State Clinton and other progressives precisely because it had no discernible connection to any vital U.S. interest. Rubio supported this third adventure in regime change in the Muslim world since 9/11, perhaps on the principle that practice makes perfect.

Today, his sensible complaint is that the Obama administration (like the previous administration regarding Iraq) had no plans for preventing chaos after the Libyan regime was decapitated. His not-at-all sensible implication, however, is that America should have buckled down to nation-building there.

Rubio’s misjudgment regarding Libya indicates a susceptibility to slapdash foreign policies. His support of S-590, the Campus Accountability and Safety Act, indicates a susceptibility to trendy temptations, carelessness regarding evidence, and indifference to constitutional values.

Wielding irrelevant laws, spurious social science and financial coercion, the Obama administration is pressuring colleges and universities to traduce standards of due process when dealing with students accused of sexual assault. Claiming that a 1972 law prohibiting sex discrimination in education somehow empowers the government to dictate institutions’ disciplinary procedures, the administration is dictating that a mere “preponderance of the evidence,” rather than “clear and convincing” evidence, be used in determining a lifeshattering verdict of guilt.

Stuart Taylor Jr. and KC Johnson — a lawyer and an academic, neither Republicans — write that the administration justifies this by citing a single “resoundingly discredited” study purporting to prove an epidemic (involving one in five women) of campus sexual assaults.

The administration opposes allowing accused students to cross-examine their accusers,

and favors a form of double jeopardy — allowing accusers to appeal not-guilty findings.

Rubio is one of 12 Republican senators collaborating with the administration by co-sponsoring legislation that would codify requiring improvised campus disciplinary proceedings to supplant law enforcement and the criminal justice system. Proposed by Democrat Claire McCaskill of Missouri, the legislation is, as Taylor and Johnson say, “designed to advance the administration’s agenda.” The legislation’s language radiates prejudgment: By repeatedly referring to accusers as “victims,” it presumes the guilt of the accused. Taylor and Johnson write: “America’s universities are in the grip of a dangerous presume-guilt-and-rushto-judgment culture. ... An entire generation of college students is learning to disregard due process and the dispassionate evaluation of evidence. And dozens of clearly or at least probably innocent students, whose cases we will detail in a book we are now writing, have been branded sex criminals, been railroaded out of their universities, and seen their hopes and dreams ruined.”

By co-sponsoring S-590, Rubio is helping the administration sacrifice a core constitutional value, due process, in order to advance progressives’ cultural aggression. The next Republican president should be someone committed to promptly stopping this disgrace, not someone who would sign S-590’s affirmation of it.

First, Macri’s center-right government has freed currency controls, a measure imposed by the previous government that had contributed to paralyzing the economy over the past four years.

While many feared that lifting currency controls would unleash a massive flight to the dollar, drive up the price of the U.S. currency and make imports more expensive, it didn’t happen. On the contrary, the U.S. dollar was trading at about 14 pesos this week, below its price before Macri took office.

Second, Macri reduced and in some cases eliminated his predecessor Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s high taxes on agricultural exports. In recent years, Fernández’s export taxes — especially a 35 percent government levy on soybean exports — had led Argentina’s biggest agricultural exporters to move their operations to Uruguay, Paraguay and other neighboring countries. Now, many of them are vowing to return to Argentina.

Third, Macri has reshuf-

fled the country’s discredited INDEC government statistics agency, which was used by the Kirchner government to systematically lie about the country’s real inflation and poverty rates.

The INDEC had become an international laughing stock. Even the International Monetary Fund had taken the unusual step of refusing to accept the Fernández government’s official statistics, which placed inflation at 9 percent when independent economists placed it at more than 25 percent.

What’s more, the Fernández government’s phony statistics

discouraged investments. A hotel owner told me that, like most other business people, he had stopped investing in his business several years ago because he didn’t trust government figures and could thus not estimate his future earnings. Now, with more realistic economic projections, he plans to modernize his hotel’s infrastructure and furniture.

Fourth, Macri has announced plans to reinsert Argentina in the global economy, seeking free trade deals with the European Union and a closer relationship with the Alliance of the Pacific, the group of open economies made up of Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile.

Macri has announced that he will attend the World Economic Forum in Davos later this month. It would be the first time in 12 years that an Argentine president speaks at the annual megameeting of world investors.

Fifth, contrary to expectations that she would be able to make life impossible for Macri from the very start, former president Fernández may not be as politically strong as many feared. Her “Peronist” party is fractured, and many state governors who depend on Macri for much-needed central government subsidies show no willingness to antagonize the new president.

Sixth, Macri has signaled a major change in Argentina’s foreign policy, distancing the country from Iran and Venezuela, and re-establishing Argentina’s support for human rights and democracy. Under Fernández, Argentina had almost automatically supported dictators and human rights abusers around the world.

With Brazil, South America’s biggest country, politically weakened by an economic and political crisis, Argentina’s shift to a pro-democracy and human rights foreign policy is likely to pull Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Peru and other countries in that direction. Without much fanfare, Macri has become a key figure in regional affairs.

My opinion: Macri still faces difficult tests, such as reducing the massive government spending incurred by his predecessor, who gave make-believe government jobs as political handouts to hundreds of thousands of people who never showed up to work but are still on the government payroll. The new president must reduce public spending before his 100-day political honeymoon is over.

But, overall, he is off to a very good start.

For 2nd year in a row, no actors of color get a nod

88TH ACADEMY AWARDS NOMINATIONS BEST ACTOR NOMINEES

Patrick Ryan USA TODAY

What this year’s Academy Awards nominations boast in well-reviewed blockbusters and A-list stars, they lack in diversity across most major categories.

For the second year in a row, all 20 slots in the lead and supporting acting categories went to white actors. Last year’s “whiteout” (the first since 1998) sparked social media outrage and inspired the Twitter hashtag #OscarsSoWhite, which was revived Thursday in response to this year’s picks.

“I thought I was watching a sequel,” says Gil Robertson, president of the African American Film Critics Association.

“It’s almost the exact same scenario, but more offensive.”

“It’s a whiteout,” says Erik Davis, Fandango.com managing editor. “The Academy Awards need to do a better job at acknowledging the diversity in Hollywood right now. There are some great performances and films out there that are just being underlooked.”

Among them: Idris Elba’s menacing turn as an African warlord in Beasts of No Nation.

The British actor earned Golden Globe, BAFTA and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for the role, and 21 out of 24 experts at awards prognisticator GoldDerby.com expected him to receive a supporting actor nomination.

Earlier this awards season, Will Smith picked up a Golden Globe acting nomination for football drama Concussion, and Creed breakout Michael B. Jordan won a National Society of Film Critics Award for best actor. Still, both actors were snubbed by Oscar.

sity came fast and furious on social media. “Why did the Oscars announce all the white nominees first?” Globes host Ricky Gervais quipped on Twitter. “All white Oscar nominations are another example of the lack of diversity in Hollywood,” tweeted Al Sharpton.

The oversights may not seem surprising, considering the membership of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: 94% white and 77% male,

according to a 2012 Los Angeles Times study. Since becoming the Academy’s first African-American president in 2013, Cheryl Boone Isaacs has made strides in shifting those demographics.

More than 300 new members were invited to join last summer, many of different races, ages and ethnic backgrounds.

Speaking with USA TODAY, Isaacs expressed her frustration with this year’s picks, calling them a “missed opportunity.”

“I was disappointed,” Isaacs said. “A lot of great work was done this year. However, we are not stopping. We are not deterred. We are moving forward. ... That needs to happen not just within the Academy, but the entire motion picture industry.”

Black filmmakers Ryan Coogler (Creed) and F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton) were on-the-bubble but were left out of the director race. The only minority among the five male nominees is Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu, who won last year for Birdman.

The sole nominations Creed and Compton received were given to white men and a woman: Sylvester Stallone, a best supporting actor hopeful for Creed, and Compton writers Jonathan Herman and Andrea Berloff for best original screenplay.

White House proposes $4B for self-driving cars Aim is to end human error that can be fatal Brent Snavely Detroit Free Press

and Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

The Obama administration on Thursday proposed a 10-year, $4 billion push to spark the development of self-driving cars, hoping to one day eliminate roadway deaths.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway DETROIT

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulators said they would seek unified national regulations on self-driving cars.

Regulators encourage automakers to run trials. The NHTSA said it will consider granting exemptions from regulations to automakers for up to 2,500 selfdriving vehicles for on-road, realworld testing.

The agency plans to work with state governments and the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators within six months to develop cohesive state regulations for autonomous vehicles.

U.S. Transportation Secretary

JEFFERSON GRAHAM, USA TODAY

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti rides in a semiautonomous Volvo.

Anthony Foxx said the president’s 2017 budget proposal includes $4 billion over 10 years for pilot projects, including a program to test self-driving cars by investing

in technologically connected roads. He provided few details on how the money would be spent if the proposal comes to fruition.

Foxx and NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind have said their goal is to have no deaths attributable to car accidents.

Today, about four in five accidents are due to a driver’s mistake, Foxx said. “We ask ourselves, ‘What if human error could be eliminated?’ ” he said.

“That is a possibility worth pursuing.”

The auto industry has pressed the U.S. government to step in and create regulations for self-

driving cars to avoid a patchwork of laws forming from state to state.

Among the key questions: Who accepts liability when a self-driving car crashes; how will insurance policies be regulated; which technologies will be legal; and what type of on-road testing will be allowed?

Foxx unveiled the regulations at a news conference, flanked by representatives from Google, Delphi, General Motors, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, Tesla Motors and Volvo, all of which have autonomous vehicle technologies in the works.

TRUMP AND CRUZ COME OUT SWINGING And this time they target each other at GOP debate Richard Wolf and David Jackson USA TODAY

NORTH CHARLESTON, S . C.

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz exchanged their harshest attacks yet Thursday in the first Republican presidential debate of 2016, one that revealed three groups of candidates — those looking to win the early contests, finish strong or simply survive.

Trump and Cruz battled over allegations that Cruz cannot be president because he was born in Canada — an allegation most legal experts have refuted.

“The Constitution hasn’t changed, but the poll numbers have,” Cruz told Trump — who acknowledged he raised the issue in recent weeks because Cruz is catching up in the polls. Cruz actually leads narrowly in Iowa, where voters will caucus Feb. 1.

Trump said lawyers have questioned Cruz’s eligibility, and he would likely be sued if he is nominated. Cruz, a lawyer who has argued cases before the Supreme Court, replied: “I’m not going to be taking legal advice from Donald Trump.”

Two other candidates faring well in the polls also mixed it up during the feisty debate — Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey.

Rubio said Christie supported President Obama’s agenda on education and guns and even “wrote a check to Planned Parenthood” — charges Christie rejected. “This is the difference between being a governor and being a senator,” Christie said.

While focusing their fury at each other, the candidates also lashed out at Obama and his would-be Democratic successor, Hillary Clinton, in a debate that threatened to make or break some of their campaigns.

RAINIER EHRHARDT, AP

Republican presidential candidates, from left, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., businessman Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and former Florida governor Jeb Bush.

“Our friends no longer think we have their back, and our enemies no longer fear us,” former Florida governor Jeb Bush said. If Clinton is elected, he said, “she might be going back and forth between the White House and the courthouse.”

Trump and Cruz entered the debate in South Carolina atop the polls in Iowa, where voters will go to caucuses Feb. 1. As such, they both were targets of attacks from struggling challengers who have only weeks to make their case or face political extinction.

Chasing Trump and Cruz most closely is Rubio, who has rung up major endorsements from establishment Republicans even while being portrayed as a flip-flopper between the party’s conservative and moderate blocs on issues,

“Our friends no longer think we have their back, and our enemies no longer fear us.”

the retired neurosurgeon making his first run for elective office.

Carson’s campaign has lagged amid a staff shake-up and troubles addressing complex policy issues. He appeared to do little Thursday to change that.

The Fox Business Network debate set a new, higher bar for candidates to make the prime-time stage. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina were dropped for poor poll ratings.

Paul refused to join the earlier debate that included former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum. “It isn’t about viewership,” Paul said on CNN. “It’s about being designated as part of the people who aren’t going to win.”

such as illegal immigration. He consistently used his time in the debate to critizize Obama and Clinton harshly.

Joining Rubio in the group seeking a breakout performance were three moderates who have led big states: Bush, Christie and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio. Within the next six weeks, only one is likely to survive.

The debate promised to be a crucial moment for Ben Carson,

with a growing lead in the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. He received the backing of 33% of national Republican primary voters to Cruz’s 20%, followed by Rubio at 13% and Carson at 12%.

Christie and Bush tied for fifth at 5% in the poll, while no other GOP presidential candidate scored higher than 3%.

Entering the seven-man, prime-time debate, Cruz also faced criticism for unreported loans to his 2012 Senate campaign in Texas. He belittled the issue, calling it a “paperwork error” that was reported in a “hit piece”

by The New York Times.

Cruz continued to question Trump’s “New York values,” contending, “Not many conservatives come out of Manhattan.”

USA TODAY INVESTIGATION

Army lab’s leaders cited in safety flaws Accidents at Utah testing site were often downplayed

MORE COVERAGE ONLINE

Full coverage of USA TODAY NETWORK’s investigation of biolabs is at biolabs.usatoday.com

Alison Young and Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

Leaders of the Army lab responsible for an international anthrax scare had a long history of downplaying and dismissing serious accidents and mishaps as their staff worked with some of the world’s most deadly pathogens and nerve agents, a new military accountability review has found.

Despite being a major testing facility for the Army’s chemical and biological defense programs, the Dugway Proving Ground had appointed an unqualified biosafety officer who lacked the education and training to do the job.

Other staff “regularly manipulated data” in important records certifying that pathogens being shipped to other labs were killed and safe for other researchers to use without special protective equipment, according to a copy of the investigation report provided to USA TODAY. The review is the latest to examine how a research facility at Dugway could have mistakenly shipped live anthrax specimens — labeled as killed — for more than a decade to unsuspecting researchers developing detection equipment and diagnostic tests against bioweapons. The live anthrax ended up at nearly 200 private, academic and federal labs located in every state plus nine foreign countries.

Dugway’s failures to fully kill anthrax specimens with radiation went undetected for more than a decade by military officials and federal lab inspectors at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was only discovered last May, when a private biotech firm that received some of Dugway’s purportedly killed anthrax specimens did their own tests and found the spores could still

Dugway’s authority to work with any potential bioterror pathogens remains suspended by federal lab regulators at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And in an interview with USA TODAY, Lt. Gen. Thomas Spoehr said Dugway will no longer be allowed to produce pathogen specimens for shipment to other facilities.

“They will make what they need for their own internal testing purposes,” Spoehr said, “but they will not be an exporter of biological products for the greater world or anybody else other than for Dugway’s internal use.”

The Army’s investigation has found that systemic issues contributed to Dugway’s live anthrax shipments, including gaps in scientific knowledge, poor lab practices and a “culture of complacency.”

Spoehr said all of the Pentagon’s biodefense labs remain under a self-imposed research moratorium while a new, unified lab oversight structure is put in place and protocols for working safely with pathogens are standardized and undergo scientific review. The process, especially creating verified kill methods for anthrax specimens — plus reli-

able tests to verify the spores are dead — could take another year, Army officials said.

Restarting the biodefense research is critical in developing a wide range of tests and equipment to protect against deadly pathogens, such as those that cause Ebola, plague, botulism and anthrax, said Maj. Gen. Brian

Lein, commander of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command. “We have to do this to protect our troops going into harm’s way,” he said.

Anthrax spores can be potentially fatal if inhaled. More than 30 people who had contact with the Dugway specimens were put on antibiotics as a precaution after the live specimens started being discovered last May. No illnesses were reported.

The military’s accountability review, also called “15-6 investigation,” was launched last summer to determine whether there were any failures of leadership at the Dugway Proving Ground. An initial Pentagon investigation last year found that Dugway’s lab records showed a 20% failure rate when it used radiation kill anthrax specimens — and indications that officials at the facility should have known there was a problem.

A USA TODAY NETWORK investigation published last year found hundreds of additional accidents with dangerous pathogens at corporate, university, government and military labs nationwide – and a system of selfpolicing and fragmented oversight that obscures failings by facilities and regulators.

USA TODAY reported last year that Dugway had previously faced a federal enforcement action in 2007 for improperly shipping live anthrax that was put through a different kill process that treated spores with chlorine dioxide.

Records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act showed what experts said were egregious and cavalier failures by a Dugway scientist. In testing a batch of anthrax to confirm it had been thoroughly killed, the scientist saw that some was still alive and able to grow in a test tube – but simply threw out that tube and issued “death certificates” for the rest of the batch. A lab that received the specimens found that some of the anthrax bacteria it received also was still alive.

The new accountability review highlights Dugway’s 2007 mistaken shipment of live anthrax to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories as one of several red flags that should have triggered wider safety reviews and action years ago by the facility’s own leadership.

The 12 personnel who now face potential discipline for lapses in handling deadly toxins at Dugway include two former commanders and three other leaders at the Army post, four workers with oversight responsibilities and three technicians, Maj. Gen. Paul Ostrowski, the investigating officer, told USA TODAY. The 12 people identified range from mid-level government employees to now-Brig. Gen. William E. King IV, who was a colonel when he commanded Dugway from July 2009 to July 2011, the report says.

King was the only person facing sanctions named in the report, which was heavily redacted.

As a general officer, King is considered a public figure and must be named, the Army said.

“Let me be clear, these acts in terms of accountability can be anything from counseling to retraining to remove and replace,” Ostrowski said.

As the investigating officer, Ostrowski does not recommend corrective action or punishment.

Migrant resettlement plan is failing, EU official says

Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

BERLIN The European Union’s top migration official said Thursday that the 28-nation bloc’s plan to manage a refugee crisis is not working and failure could have devastating consequences for European unity.

“The situation is getting worse,” Migration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos told EU lawmakers in Brussels. “These schemes have not delivered the expected results,” he added.

In September, the EU unveiled measures that would distribute settlement of 160,000 refugees across member countries to ease the crushing burden on Greece and Italy, where most arrive after fleeing violence in Syria, Iraq and other conflict zones. Yet fewer than 300 refugees have been sent to other countries under the plan, EU data show.

More than 1 million migrants entered Europe in 2015, with the vast majority winding up in Germany, which opened its doors to them last year. However, opposition to taking in migrants has grown since reports of mass assaults on women by recent migrants at New Year’s Eve gatherings.

Avramopoulos said newcomers to Greece and Italy are still not being processed quickly enough, and countries that signed up with the plan had made just a few

The local edition of USA TODAY is published daily in partnership with Gannett Newspapers

More than two years after it began, the largest Ebola outbreak in history, which claimed 11,315 lives, appears to be over, the World Health Organization announced Thursday.

Those who have fought the West African outbreak, which sickened nearly 29,000 people, remain wary because Ebola can flare up, even after months with no cases. WHO said “flare-ups” are still likely, and surveillance and response efforts will be crucial to keep the region safe.

Liberia was first declared Ebola-free in May, but the virus returned twice. This is the first time since the epidemic began that all

Avramopoulos told the European Parliament that up to 4,000 refugees arrive each day in Greece even though Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Austria have reintroduced border controls.

tion for those who need it, but those who have no right to be here have to be returned,” Avramopoulos said.

Many of these coming to Europe are seeking better economic opportunities and don’t qualify for protection as refugees under international law. Since September, fewer than 900 have been ejected.

Avramopoulos said that if the situation does not change, the EU’s passport-free travel zone, a fundamental right guaranteed to EU citizens, is at risk of falling apart. If that happens, he said, it would be the “beginning of the end of the European project.”

His comments come amid rising anxiety in Europe about how to settle and integrate the unprecedented flows of displaced people who make dangerous journeys to reach European soil.

Germany, in response to the mass sexual assault on New Year’s Eve in Cologne, moved Wednesday to enact legislation that would make it easier to deport migrants convicted of serious crimes.

Denmark’s parliament will vote this month on whether to seize new arrivals’ cash and other assets that exceed $1,450 to pay for their stays. In Finland, news media reported that a group of anti-immigrant men have started patrolling streets of a town near the border with Sweden to ease fears over the safety of local women.

WASHINGTON The Pentagon announced Thursday it had transferred 10 Yemeni detainees at Guantanamo Bay to the Arabian nation of Oman.

The transfers bring the number of detainees at the military prison to 93 as President Obama continues to try to make good on his campaign promise to close the facility — or at least vastly reduce the number of detainees.

“This chipping away at the population ... certainly is what we can do right now,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday after a detainee had been transferred to Saudi Arabia. “But ultimately, to accomplish the goal of closing it, we’re going to need Congress to remove some obstacles that have prevented it.”

In his State of the Union Address on Tuesday, Obama once again called on Congress to close the facility completely. “It is expensive, it is unnecessary, and it only serves as a recruitment brochure for our enemies,” he said.

The recent batch of released detainees included Samir Naji alHasan Muqbil, who was on the first plane to Guantanamo in January 2002, according to the human rights group Reprieve, which applauded his release Thursday.

“We are delighted that the Omani government has given him the chance to rebuild his life and, we hope, to reconnect with his family,” said Cory Crider, a lawyer for the detainees and a Reprieve official. “But the abuses Samir exposed to the world continue to this day — and the force-feeding videotapes I’ve watched would make your blood run cold. That’s why the solicitor general ought to let Americans see the footage — the tapes make an exquisite case for why Guantanamo Bay has to close.”

The Department of Defense said all 10 were unanimously approved for transfer by the six departments and agencies in the Guantanamo Review Task Force that Obama set up to screen detainees for release. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter also signed off on the transfers and notified Congress, the Pentagon said.

Carter said the administration would work with Congress to find ways to transfer all the detainees “as we diligently work to close this chapter in our history.”

Aamer Madhani CHICAGO A federal judge on Thursday ordered the public release of video footage that shows the 2013 fatal shooting by Chicago police of an unarmed 17year-old African-American man.

The move by U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman comes the day after attorneys for the city, who had vigorously fought for months to keep the footage private, dropped their objection to the video’s release.

The decision on the video, which is evidence in a wrongful death lawsuit filed against the city and two police officers for the 2013 death of Cedrick Chatman, comes as the Chicago Police Department and Mayor Rahm Emanuel are facing mounting criticism over the use of force by the city’s police.

The city has been embroiled in weeks of protests following the court-ordered release of police video in November that showed the 2014 shooting death of 17year-old Laquan McDonald. Officer Jason Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder on the same day of the video’s release, 400 days after the incident.

After the McDonald video’s release, Emanuel said the city would strive for greater transparency as it tried to balance the public’s interest in disclosure

Brian Coffman, an attorney for the family of Cedrick Chatman, speaks at a news conference Thursday in Chicago. with the importance of protecting the integrity of investigations.

The mayor’s words not-withstanding, the city continued to fight to keep the Chatman video private, even filing a motion only three weeks ago that argued release of the video could taint a potential jury in the wrongful death suit.

Gettleman criticized for the city’s belated “enlightenment” on the issue.

“I’m very disturbed about the way this has happened,” Gettleman said.

City officials said the video

footage from three cameras, including a police camera, would likely be released later Thursday.

In this latest case, officer Kevin Fry said he shot Chatman after the teen ran from a stolen vehicle holding what he mistakenly thought was a gun.

Fry’s partner, officer Lou Toth, was chasing Chatman, but Fry said in his deposition that he opened fire after seeing the teen turn slightly toward them. Fry in his deposition said he feared for his and his partner’s lives as well as the safety of pedestrians in the area.

Devices such as tablet computers and digital photo goods also disappointed.

Best Buy shares slid 9.7% to close at $26.43. Sales at domestic stores open at least a year fell 1.4% in the nine-week 2015 holiday shopping period, compared with a 3.4% increase in 2014.

JPMorgan warns of ‘stress’ as oil beats up on banks Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

NEW YORK The crash in oil prices is creating a big headache for banks.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon kicked off bank earnings season Thursday by warning of “stress” in energy loans amid falling oil prices.

The superstar CEO walked away from the bearish comment largely unscathed — for now — as shares rose nearly 2% Thursday to $58.46 each. But Dimon’s remark has Wall Street analysts more attuned than ever to how this could affect earnings elsewhere — and at JPMorgan, if things worsen.

The problem is that oil prices are dropping to their lowest levels since 2003 at about $31 a barrel. That has banks that bankrolled the oil boom of the past decade dealing with loan portfolios that are worsening in quality.

“The three big issues in the market right now are oil, oil and oil,” said Mike Mayo, a banking analyst with research firm CLSA. “As oil prices decline, how much do the banks get hurt?”

Fargo, Bank of America, Citigroup and smaller lenders such as Zions Bancorp and Comerica.

Wells Fargo and Citigroup report fourth-quarter earnings Friday. Financial companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 are likely to post 1.4% lower adjusted profit in the fourth quarter, S&P Capital IQ says.

“The overall worst-case scenario is that revenue growth turns negative for 2016, and all the benefits they would get from a wider interest rate spread gets taken away,” said Erik Oja, U.S. banks equity analyst with S&P Capital IQ. JPMorgan showed clear signs of deterioration from falling oil prices Thursday when it said expenses tied to credit losses, driven largely by soured energy loans, jumped a whopping 49%

in the fourth quarter.

The $210 billion bank upped its cushion against troubled oil and gas credits by $124 million in the three-month period that ended in December. As a result, it increased its reserve on bad loans for the first time since 2011, according to data from S&P Capital IQ. “You know me, I would put up more if I could, but accounting rules dictate what you can do,” Dimon said during the conference call with investors.

JPMorgan Chief Financial Officer Marianne Lake said reserves for bad oil and gas loans could jump as high as $750 million. That assumes oil prices continue to hover around $30 a barrel for 18 months, which JPMorgan thinks is unlikely, she said.

Despite the decline in oil prices and trouble in China, Dimon sounded an upbeat note on the economy.

“The U.S. economy has been chugging along at 2% to 2.5% growth for the better part of five years now. In the last two years, it has created 5 million jobs,” he said.

“We’re not forecasting a recession. We think the U.S. economy looks pretty good at this point.”

Banking giant Goldman Sachs was “pleased” to resolve case.

“We are pleased to have reached an agreement in principle to resolve these matters,” said Goldman Chairman and CEO Lloyed Blankfein.

The settlement would resolve actual and potential civil claims by the U.S. Department of Justice, the New York and Illinois attorneys general, the National Credit Union Administration and the Federal Home Loan Banks of Chicago and Seattle. They investigated Goldman’s securitization, underwriting and sale of residential mortgage-backed securities from 2005 to 2007. Generally speaking, many such loans proved to be riskier than advertised to buyers and helped spark the 2008 financial crisis.

Goldman cautioned there’s no assurance the bank and authorities will reach final agreement.

The bank also agreed Thursday to pay a $15 million settlement of SEC charges that it improperly handled short sales for customers.

Despite trouble in the oil sector, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon sounded upbeat about the economy. “We’re not forecasting a recession. We think the U.S. economy looks pretty good.”

Goldman Sachs Group has reached a nearly $5.1 billion tentative settlement of a federal and state investigation of the investment banking giant’s handling of mortgage-backed securities before the national financial crisis, the bank said Thursday.

The New York-based bank will pay a $2.4 billion civil penalty, make $875 million in cash payments and provide $1.8 billion in consumer relief — including mortgage principal forgiveness for distressed borrowers, foreclosure prevention and other programs.

Goldman said the settlement would reduce the bank’s fourthquarter 2015 earnings, scheduled to be announced Wednesday, by roughly $1.5 billion after-tax.

Before announcing the charge, Wall Street analysts surveyed by research firm FactSet had forecast a $3.64 per share drop in Goldman’s fourth-quarter earnings, down from $4.38 in 2014.

2 dealerships file civil racketeering suit against automaker Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Two Fiat Chrysler dealerships have accused the company of conspiring to inflate sales, sparking a sell-off in the Italian automaker’s stock.

The dealers, one in Illinois and one in Florida, filed a civil racketeering lawsuit against the automaker, saying the company had paid certain dealers to report false sales to “create the appearance that FCA’s performance is better than, in reality, it actually is.”

The dealers that filed the lawsuit — Napleton’s Arlington Heights Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Arlington Heights, Ill., and Napleton’s Northlake Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Lake Park, Fla. — are part of the Napleton Automotive Group.

PATRICK T. FALLON, BLOOMBERG

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles says the accusations — from dealers in Florida and Illinois — are “without merit.”

The lawsuit comes after Fiat Chrysler recently posted its 69th consecutive month of gains in U.S. sales, which have been hailed as the pillar of the company’s global operations. Fiat Chrysler’s U.S. brands are Ram, Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge and Alfa Romeo, and its U.S. headquarters are located in Auburn Hills, Mich.

The feud raises the specter of yet another embarrassing episode for the auto industry, which has faced a series of scandals involving defects, emissions and regulatory failures that have undermined the public trust.

Fiat Chrysler, in a statement, harshly dismissed the claims as “without merit.”

“This lawsuit is nothing more than the product of two disgruntled dealers who have failed to perform their obligations under the dealer agreements they signed with FCA US. They have consistently failed to perform since at least 2012 and have also used the threats of litigation over the last several months in a wrongful attempt to compel FCA US to reserve special treatment for them.”

The suit alleges that dealership principal Edward Napleton was asked, but refused, to falsely report sales of 40 vehicles in exchange for $20,000, which would have been distributed by Fiat Chrysler to the dealership’s advertising budget.

That came after a lower-level employee agreed to falsely report the sale of 16 vehicles without permission of upper management, according to the suit.

A lawyer for the dealers, who are seeking unspecified damages, including attorney’s fees, was not available for comment Thursday.

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

The Dow, which has been down on its luck early in the new year, finally delivered the sizable bounce on Thursday that Wall Street has been hoping for. The blue chip stock gauge rallied 228 points.

To say the rally was needed would be an understatement following a year filled with enough market swoons to spook even the most level-headed long-term investor.

The key question now is whether the intense selling pressure to start the year has been broken. And whether Thursday’s big rally signals the market’s first step toward stabilization.

China’s economy is still slowing.

Stocks and crude oil are still nursing sizable losses despite Thursday’s rally. And market sentiment has taken a big hit, as investors were reminded once again that stocks can go down in a hurry when the outlook changes.

“We now have a relief rally, but I believe there’s a change in investor psychology: Investors are now more interested in capital preservation than buying dips,” says Axel Merk of Merk Funds. When asked what the latest corrective phase is telling us, he said: “That markets are risky. Many have forgotten that.” Merk advises investors with too big a helping of stocks to lighten up now to be “better protected” if the correction turns into a bear market.

Despite its woes, analysts stand behind Best Buy Q: How good of a buy is Best Buy stock?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Best Buy (BBY) is the latest retailer to sound a warning about the future. Investors who bet on the stock will need patience for a turnaround.

The seller of consumer electronics warned revenue at stores open at least a year as of the end of the fiscal fourth quarter fell 1.2% domestically. Analysts are now braced for the company’s revenue in the fiscal fourth quarter to drop 3.8% to $13.7 billion, says S&P Capital IQ. Adjusted profit is expected to fall 6.8%.

2016 is a pivotal year for investors since it’s when the company’s profit growth is expected to return. Investors anticipate adjusted earnings per share to rise 1% to $2.62 a share in 2016. Then in 2017, analysts are calling for adjusted profit growth of nearly 7%. Analysts continue to support the stock, saying it will be worth $36.87 a share in 18 months, which would be nearly 40% higher than Thursday’s close. Shares fell nearly 10% Thursday to roughly $26 a share on the company’s news.

But Best Buy is making the difficult transition from physical stores to selling online. The company reported nearly 13% revenue growth from its online shopping business. Best Buy is trading for 11 times its earnings over the past 12 months, which is a discount. But Best Buy remains a speculative play.

IRS predicts shorter phone waits and fewer tax audits Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

The IRS delivered a double dose of good news predictions to U.S. taxpayers Thursday for the 2016 tax-filing season: shorter telephone waiting times for questioners and lower audit rates.

customer-service reps from Jan. 1 through April 18, and the hold times for those calls averaged 23 minutes, the report found.

“Our goal would clearly be to have them under 20 minutes” during 2016, Koskinen said of this year’s waiting times.

Addressing the switchboard problem, he voiced hope that at least 60% of those who call with tax questions will get through this year — but nonetheless urged taxpayers to try seeking answers on the IRS website.

The agency’s budget hike — the first significant increase approved in six years by a Congress skepti-

cal of the agency’s performance — is also earmarked for addressing other customer-service concerns such as the rise of tax-refund identity theft, as well as IRS cybersecurity. But the money won’t go to tax compliance and enforcement, Koskinen said.

As a result, the IRS won’t be able to replace hundreds of taxcompliance employees expected to retire this year. The departures likely mean the odds of a taxpayer facing an audit will drop even further in 2016 after falling to 0.84% in the 2015 federal fiscal year.

“By definition, our audit rates will decline,” Koskinen said.

THE OSCARS

‘Revenant,’ ‘Spotlight,’ ‘Mad Max’ shine in nominations Surprise snubs for Star Wars, Depp, Elba and Spielberg Patrick Ryan USA TODAY

The Revenant is out of the woods and ahead in the Oscar race, leading Thursday’s nominations with 12 including best picture, director (Alejandro González Iñárritu) and actor (Leonardo DiCaprio).

The drama is one of eight films to fill the 10 available best-picture slots. Also nominated: Spotlight, The Martian, The Big Short, Mad Max: Fury Road, Brooklyn, Room and Bridge of Spies.

Others movies making a strong showing are sci-fi epic Mad Max with 10 nods, including best director (George Miller), and astronaut drama Martian with seven, although director Ridley Scott was overlooked. Awards-season favorite Spotlight, about The Boston Globe’s Catholic Church sexabuse investigation, earned six nominations, while late-surging Wall Street drama The Big Short snagged five.

Carol, Straight Outta Compton, Sicario, Creed and Star Wars: The Force Awakens are among the notable movies to earn recognition in precursor awards, but miss out on best-picture nominations.

As expected, DiCaprio clinched his fifth Oscar acting nod for Revenant, playing a fur trapper fighting to survive and avenge his son.

Fellow Golden Globe winner

KIMBERLEY FRENCH, 20TH CENTURY FOX

Leonardo DiCaprio is a bestactor nominee for Revenant.

MORE OSCAR NEWS AT LIFE.USATODAY.COM

Read about snubs and surprises, and see galleries of the nominees

Matt Damon (The Martian), Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl), Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs) and Bryan Cranston (Trumbo) also will vie for best actor, pushing A-listers Johnny Depp (Black Mass), Steve Carell (The Big Short) and Will Smith (Concussion) out of contention.

In best actress, breakout star Brie Larson (Room) is joined by Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn), Jennifer Lawrence (Joy), Cate Blanchett (Carol) and Charlotte Rampling (45 Years), a perceived underdog in the race. So far this season, Larson and Ronan have picked up the majority of critics’ prizes. Larson won the Globe for best actress in a drama Sunday.

Questions of whether Rooney Mara (Carol) and Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl) would land in leading or supporting actress were answered, as both scored

nominations in the latter. Surprise Globe winner Kate Winslet (Steve Jobs), Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight) and Rachel McAdams (Spotlight) also received nods in the category, while Helen Mirren (Trumbo) and Jane Fonda (Youth) were shut out.

The season’s most wide-open field, supporting actor, finally came into view. Expected nominees Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies) and Sylvester Stallone (Creed) each entered the ring, as did Christian Bale (The Big Short), Mark Ruffalo (Spotlight) and Tom Hardy (The Revenant).

Among the most notable omissions are Idris Elba (Beasts of No Nation), Michael Keaton (Spotlight), Jacob Tremblay (Room), and under-the-radar picks Paul Dano (Love & Mercy) and Michael Shannon (99 Homes).

The best director nominees closely mirrored those of the Directors Guild of America, announced Tuesday. They include Iñárritu (The Revenant), Miller (Mad Max: Fury Road), Lenny Abrahamson (Room), Adam McKay (The Big Short) and Tom McCarthy (Spotlight). Contenders including Steven Spielberg (Bridge of Spies) and Todd Haynes (Carol) missed out.

Earning nods for best animated feature: Disney/Pixar’s brainy Inside Out made the cut, as did Charlie Kaufman’s acclaimed stop-motion Anomalisa. Shaun the Sheep Movie, Boy and the World and When Marnie Was There round out the category.

The 88th Academy Awards air Feb. 28 on ABC and will be hosted

by Chris Rock.

HOME SALES CAN HEAT UP EVEN WHEN IT’S COLD LINDA A. DITCH

There is snow on the ground. The fireplace is lit. The house is on the market.

What? Sell a house in winter?

Surprisingly, the answer is yes.

Chris Earl, co-owner of Stephens Real Estate said this time of year is a good one for selling a house.

“While there is less demand [buyers] in the winter, there is also less supply [sellers],” Earl said. “An agent familiar with the market can educate a seller as to the level of supply in their price range, which might help them decide if it is worth it to be on the market in the winter.”

To increase chances of a sale, here are some tips to make your home more appealing to potential buyers.

First, keep the walkways clear of snow and ice. Also, be sure there is a clear path from the street since that is where most buyers will park. For both snow and rain, place a mat at the front door, plus a container to hold wet umbrellas.

Since light is at a minimum in the winter, be sure to open all of the curtains and blinds before a showing. If the view from the window isn’t the best, keep the blinds partially closed, or cover them with sheer curtains. Also, turn on all of the lights in the house, including appliance and closet lights. (Be sure the fixtures are clean!) If the showing is at night, turn on all of the outside lights, checking to make sure they are bright enough to light the way.

To give your home a warm and cozy feel, increase the thermostat by a couple of degrees, and turn it back down just before you leave.

This way, the home will be warm for the potential buyers and the heating system won’t turn on while they are there.

If the home has a fireplace, light it. However, be safe and don’t leave it unattended by coordinating closely with your agent about arrival and departure times.

Pay attention to the aromas in your home since it is closed tight for the winter. However, some people are sensitive to the fragrance from candles, deodorizers, and plug-in air fresheners, so don’t go overboard.

Plus, if you decided to bake cookies to make your home smell nice, be sure to leave some out for the buyers to enjoy.

Finally, leave out a few photos of your summertime yard and gardens for the buyers to see, or give them to the agent to show.

“At the end of the day, we sell homes in every month of the year,” Earl said. “Sure, certain months are better than others, but a house that is not on the market is the only house without a chance to sell.”

One tip for selling a home in winter is to make sure there is a clear path from the street to the front door.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Should Kansas be in a zone?

West Virginia was on a mission, Kansas in a fog.

That made me wonder if the time had come for Kansas to make a change for the sake of change. Time to shift to a zone defense, just to make the Mountaineers engage the brakes, think, retool.

I wondered if the same thought had come across the minds of the coaching staff.

“We talked as a staff afterwards, should we have played our crappy 2-3 zone for a brief minute?” KU head coach Bill Self said Thursday, two days after a 74-63 loss in Morgantown.

“I almost think — obviously, we wanted to win the game — but if it’s the last game of the season, then maybe you do that. I really didn’t want to bail our players out by telling them, ‘OK, let’s try something different.’ I wanted them to guard their guards and keep the ball in front of them and we couldn’t do that.”

An inability to keep Denzel Valentine in front of them also cost the Jayhawks against Michigan State.

Counting all opponents, Kansas ranks fourth in the nation in defensive efficiency, per advanced-statistics website kenpom.com.

“We haven’t spent any time on zone the last two or three weeks, so I just didn’t feel comfortable going to it,” Self said. “I felt our best chance was to guard them and our best chance to rebound obviously was playing man. I thought that gave us the best chance.”

The 22 turnovers ranked at the top of causes of KU’s second loss, but it wasn’t the only area of concern revealed in Morgantown.

Lateral quickness and speed running the floor are two different areas of athletic ability and Kansas is better at the former than the latter.

Self has used an 11-man rotation this season and seven of them look more athletic running the floor than sliding their feet on defense: Carlton Bragg, Cheick Diallo, Brannen Greene, Landen Lucas, Hunter Mickelson, Svi Mykhailiuk and Wayne Selden.

It will take some creativity to camouflage those vulnerabilities against quick teams and showing a little zone here and there might help.

“People look at us and say, ‘So quick,’ because we can get up and down the court really well, but you take away transition and then it becomes a half-court game and quickness is more defined by what you can do sliding your feet,” Self said.

Paring the rotation from 11 to nine and significantly expanding Carlton Bragg’s minutes also are options worth considering as Kansas works its way through its schedule, which can best be described as a high-hurdles race.

Inside job

Self: Get the ball inside to Perry Ellis

By Gary Bedore

gbedore@ljworld.com

Perry Ellis sank eight of Kansas University’s 20 baskets while scoring 21 of the Jayhawks’ 63 points in Tuesday’s 74-63 road loss to West Virginia.

All that production came off 14 shots, which in coach Bill Self’s eyes were not nearly enough.

“He should have gotten off 20-plus in that particular game, but we weren’t able to get the ball to him,” Self said after the game.

On Thursday, Self fielded additional questions about failing to feed the 6-foot-8, 225-pound senior forward from Wichita, who leads KU in scoring at 16.3 points a game off 50.3 percent shooting.

“When we go on our little 9-0 runs, Perry is the main reason offensively. So I don’t understand why we go away from that. Even if it’s makeshift, even if it’s not very artistic, you just get the ball to him and make him go make a play,” Self said.

“That’s what West Virginia did. They just kind of moved the ball around a little bit and then just said, ‘OK, play take ‘em.’ We could have done that with Perry some, also. It wasn’t like we didn’t throw it to him, but we probably could have done a better job of trying to throw it to him more,” Self added.

“Even though he scored a lot of points, I think we could have gotten him the ball more,” junior guard Frank Mason III said Thursday.

“He could have gotten more angles. I think they (Mountaineers) sped us up. We lost focus. Guys were moving too fast. We didn’t give him the ball as much when he was hot.”

Self has been satisfied with the interior work of Ellis this Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo season.

“I really feel like since Big EVEN THOUGH KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIOR PERRY ELLIS SCORED ONE-THIRD OF THE JAYHAWKS’ 63 POINTS at West Virginia Tuesday night, KU coach Bill Self wasn’t pleased that Ellis got off only 14 shots Please see HOOPS, page 3C in the game. Self wants the Jayhawks to be more aggressive feeding Ellis the ball.

Firebirds swim to front of Invitational field

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High’s boys swimming and diving team won 11 of the 12 events at the FSHS Invitational on Thursday and cruised to a win on Senior Day at the Indoor Aquatic Center.

The Firebirds beat runner-up Washburn Rural by 162 points, picking up wins from senior John Walpole, juniors Jordan Portela and Evan Yoder, and sophomore Evan Eskilson, along with junior diver Chad Bourdon and all three relays.

At the team’s first practice, the FSHS seniors talk— Tom Keegan appears ed to their teammates about on The Drive, Sunday scoring points behind their nights on WIBW-TV top swimmers. Instead of

just focusing on having somebody win the race, the Firebirds wanted to show off their depth.

On Thursday, Free State had three of the top four times in the 200-yard freestyle, 100 butterfly, 500 freestyle and 100 breaststroke.

Senior captain Ethan Kallenberger, listening to his own message from the first day of practice, took third place in 200 individual medley and 100 butterfly.

He was focusing on his form more than his time Thursday, but he posted his best time of the year in the butterfly.

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo “I was trying something with my under-waters, and FREE STATE’S JORDAN PORTELA SWIMS IN THE 200-YARD INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY Thursday at the FSHS Invitational. Portela won the event in 2:00.63 as Free State Please see FREE STATE, page 3C won the five-team meet.

BOWLING

FSHS bowlers win quadrangular

Pats’ Gronkowski sits out practice Foxborough, Mass. — New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski sat out Thursday’s practice — the team’s last workout before its playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Patriots said in their injury report on Thursday that Gronkowski missed practice with a knee injury he sustained against the Denver Broncos on Nov. 29. An update to the report said he also had a back injury.

Gronkowski also missed Tuesday’s practice. He practiced on Wednesday, but was listed on the injury report as a “limited” participant.

The Pro Bowl tight end was the team’s leading receiver this season, with 72 catches for 1,176 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Patriots’ Jones offers apology Foxborough, Mass. — Patriots defensive lineman Chandler Jones apologized to his teammates and the New England fans on Thursday for “a pretty stupid mistake” that led brought him, shirtless and disoriented, to a local police station. Police who went to his house said it smelled like burning marijuana.

Appearing in the New England locker room with two minutes left in the team’s last media availability of the week, the Pro Bowl selection declined to answer most questions and said he was focusing on Saturday’s playoff game against the Chiefs.

GOLF

Woodland fires 66 at Sony Open Honolulu — Vijay Singh opened with a 7-under 63 for a five-way share of the lead Tuesday at the Sony Open.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a 4-under 66.

Singh, who turns 53 next month and could be the oldest PGA Tour winner in history, narrowly missed an 8-foot eagle putt on his final hole Thursday and still posted his best score in 19 years playing Waialae Country Club.

He was tied with Brandt Snedeker, Kevin Kisner, Ricky Barnes and Morgan Hoffmann.

FREE STATE’S EVAN ESKILSON LEAVES THE BLOCKS in the backstroke leg of the boys 200-yard medley relay on Thursday.

that kind of changes where you meet the wall,” Kallenberger said.

“I was a little awkward on my turns but I went a best time for this season and I was close to my all-time best time.”

FSHS senior captains Brett Carey and Carson Ziegler both posted topfive times. Carey was second in the 500 freestyle and Ziegler took fourth in the 100 freestyle.

The Firebirds also had strong days from junior Corey SchultzBever (second in the 100 breaststroke) and freshman Landon Sloan (third in the 200 freestyle and fourth in the 100 backstroke).

“Evan Yoder, Evan Eskilson, Jordan Portela, John Walpole, all of these guys are swimming great,” FSHS coach Annette McDonald said.

“But you have to think about the back guys. Corey coming in second and dropping time. I just

have to be pleased with their effort and their excitement about this home meet.”

Walpole transferred to Free State in March 2015.

He said he was sick for the past three days, but it didn’t affect him, swimming to his best times in high school during victories in the 500 freestyle and 100 backstroke.

All of the seniors were honored after the diving portion of the meet, standing alongside their parents. It’s a new team for Walpole, but the ceremony still had special meaning.

“High school swimming has always been something that I’ve looked up to,” Walpole said. “Being a senior — even though I haven’t been here that long — it really is a ‘this is it’ moment.”

With more than a month left in the season, the seniors didn’t feel overly emotional during the ceremony. It just hasn’t hit them yet.

“I’m thinking about my 100 fly and what do I need to do for that,” Kallenberger said. “But I know looking back on it

especially, it’ll be a lot of sentiment. I’ve spent four years here. Swimming has definitely been an influential part of my life.

I’ve always been thinking, ‘Oh, that’ll be me some year standing with my parents.’ It’s kind of weird to finally be here because it always seems like it’s still down the road.”

12 started he’s graded out very well,” Self said. “I think even against Oklahoma, he got up 28 shots (making 11, scoring 27 points), and although he didn’t make an unbelievable percentage for him, because he’s a 55-60 percent shooter, he was aggressive enough to get up 28 and our best offense was having him attack the basket, and I thought that was the same way the other night, Self added. l

New draft rule: The NCAA has pushed back the date with which players must remove their name from the NBA Draft (if they want to return to school) to 10 days after the final day of the NBA Combine, which this year falls May 15.

Players can participate in the Combine and one NBA team tryout per year and still return to school if they are unsatisfied with their projected draft position, supplied to them by the league.

In the past, the NCAA required players to make their decision by the April 16 start of the spring signing period in order to maintain college eligibility. College players now may enter the draft multiple times without penalty.

“If you are not invited to the Combine, then obviously you’re not on anyone’s radar regardless of what agents are telling you or what other people are telling you,” Self said.

“If you are invited, what this allows us to do is have time to train them (on campus) so they don’t feel like they have to leave campus to go get trained.

TEAM DOO BE DOO UDOKA AZUBUIKE (00) IN ACTION AGAINST TEAM EZ PASS IN THE UNDER ARMOUR ELITE 24 GAME ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 2015 IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. Azubuike, a 6-11, 260-pound senior center from Potter’s House Christian Academy in Jacksonville, Florida, will announce his college choice on Sunday. Rivals.com has Azubuike ranked No. 27 in the Class of 2016. not jeopardize his collegiate eligibility if things don’t work out for him,” Self added. “So now the way it has read in the past, you’ve got to make a decision by a certain time, and then if you don’t take your name out by a certain time, you’re automatically in, but no NBA teams have had a chance to talk to you.

It’s only the information that we have gathered for them. Now it’s a situation if they’re invited to the Combine, they’re going to get within one week exactly where they grade out at the Combine, and if 30 NBA teams are saying, ‘Hey, at best you’re a late second-round draft pick and probably not draftable,’ then that would still give a young man a chance to come back to school.”

Coaches will have to wait until late May to

know what some players will do. NBA execs have said they expect most college players to declare for the draft without hiring representation, continue to train on campus and see if they are invited to the Combine.

“It could put the schools in jeopardy of not knowing what your roster will be next year: ‘Well, we think he’ll come back and then he ends up leaving late and there’s nobody left to sign,’” Self said. “So from a school standpoint you could make a case that it kind of puts you more in jeopardy for next year’s roster, but if you’re looking at it for the best interest of the kids, at least now they can rely on information from the NBA as opposed to third parties giving them information, and that was the goal of the rule.”

Kansas City OC Doug Pederson to coach Eagles

By Rob Maaddi AP Pro Football Writer

Philadelphia — Doug Pederson is the new man in charge of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Who? Pederson, the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, has accepted an offer to become Philadelphia’s coach, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Thursday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because the Eagles have not officially announced the hiring.

Pederson, who didn’t interview with any other teams, can’t be officially hired while the Chiefs are in the playoffs. Kansas City plays at New England on Saturday.

Pederson isn’t a popular choice in a footballcrazed town that hasn’t celebrated an NFL championship since 1960. Fans were hoping for a big-name coach (Tom Coughlin) or a hot, young coordinator (Adam Gase) to replace Chip Kelly, who was fired five days before the season ended.

Instead, owner Jeffrey Lurie and his staff went for someone quite familiar to the organization.

Pederson started his first NFL game with the Eagles and got his first NFL assistant coaching job in Philadelphia.

Tom Coughlin interviewed for the job, but it didn’t seem the 69-yearold two-time Super Bowl champion would fit in.

Azubuike, who is ranked No. 27 in the Class of 2016 by Rivals. com, has a final list of KU, Florida State and North Carolina. In the past, he’s also considered Duke, N.C. State, Wake Forest, Cal, Auburn and Florida.

“He just wanted to enjoy his senior season and take the pressure off,” Azubuike’s mentor, Harry Coxsome told Borzello.

Azubuike is originally from Nigeria and been in the U.S. for three years.

He’s a dominant low-post player. FSU is considered the leader.

Pederson started nine games at quarterback for the Eagles in 1999, grooming Donovan McNabb to take over the job for Andy Reid’s team. He returned to Philly a decade later to work for Reid. Pederson followed Reid to Kansas City in 2013 and was promoted to offensive coordinator. The Chiefs haven’t ranked higher than 21st under Pederson.

Philadelphia also interviewed Gase, who was hired by Miami; Ben McAdoo, who was hired by the New York Giants; and two of the Eagles’ assistant coaches during the 2015 season under Kelly: Pat Shurmur and Duce Staley.

Kelly was fired after the 15th game of this season, when the Eagles were 6-9. They went 10-6 in each of his first two seasons in charge, making the playoffs in 2013.

Kelly was hired as San Francisco 49ers coach earlier Thursday.

The 47-year-old Pederson was the fifth candidate to interview with the Eagles. He met with the team in Kansas City last Sunday morning after the Chiefs beat Houston 30-0 to advance to the second round.

“I have a lot of respect for the organization and what they’re doing there,” Pederson said Wednesday.

Pederson didn’t have much playcalling responsibilities in Kansas City because Reid prefers to call his own plays. But Reid acknowledged earlier this season that Pederson has started to share more of that burden.

Kansas University head football coach David Beaty has chosen Todd Bradford, former defensive coordinator at University of Maryland, to replace Kevin Kane as the Jayhawks’ linebackers coach.

Kane left for the defensive coordinator job at Northern Illinois, where he had worked before coming to Kansas.

Bradford, 52, last worked in college football as DC at Maryland in 2011. After one season with the Terps, Bradford was bought out of the remaining two years of his contract for $300,000.

Bradford had put his career on hold to focus on caring for his mother, Sandra Hampshire, who died Jan. 3, in St. George, Utah, after suffering for seven years from multiple myeloma.

Bradford has worked 25 years in college football, including three as defensive coordinator at Southern Mississippi (2008-10). Working under current North Carolina coach Larry Fedora, Bradford guided the 2010 Southern Miss defense to a 31-16 victory against Kansas and a No. 13 national ranking (113 yards allowed per game).

At Maryland, his defense was ranked last in the ACC. Bradford last worked in the Big 12 for Oklahoma State (2005-07) when he coached linebackers. He also worked at his alma mater, Southern Utah, as well as New Hampshire, Lehigh, Eastern Michigan, Louisiana Tech, Wisconsin, Middle Tennessee State and BYU (his only job on the offensive side).

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Iowa turns back Michigan State The Associated Press

No. 16 Iowa 76, No. 4 Michigan St. 59 East Lansing, Mich.

— Iowa proved it could beat, dominate in fact, Michigan State even with Denzel Valentine on the court.

Peter Jok scored 19 of his 23 points in the first half to help the Hawkeyes build a huge lead that helped them rout the Spartans on Thursday night.

“Pete has that ability to get going,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.

“We found him early and we kept going to him.”

Iowa (13-3, 4-0 Big Ten) humbled the Spartans for the second time in two weeks and defeated them on the road for the first time since 1993, ending an 18-game losing streak.

“To beat one of the best teams in the Big Ten on their home court is big,” Jarrod Uthoff said.

“It doesn’t matter what happened 23 years ago.”

Valentine had a relatively lackluster game with 14 points, five assists and four rebounds.

He played in his second straight game since returning from a four-game absence while recovering from knee surgery.

“He’s not back to normal,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said.

Valentine watched from the bench on Dec. 29 when the Hawkeyes beat the then-top ranked Spartans 83-70.

McCaffery insisted it didn’t make much of a difference to have Valentine on the court. With or without Valentine, the Hawkeyes have shot better and hustled more than Michigan State.

“They made shots and they got every loose ball,” Izzo lamented. “It hurts me to admit it, but they did it twice. We’re going to have to regroup.”

Michigan State (162, 3-2) was down by 22 points at halftime, its largest deficit at home since at least the 199697 season and its biggest anywhere in the regular season since trailing at Michigan by 23 points at halftime in 1997, according to STATS. Jok made three of his team’s nine three-pointers in the first half and Anthony Clemmons connected on two shots beyond the arc, where he was making less than 30 percent of his attempts.

“I think Fran hit a three in the first half,” Izzo joked without smiling.

McCaffery wasn’t sure how his team would perform because it hadn’t played since Jan. 5, when it beat Nebraska 77-66.

“I did not see it coming,” he acknowledged.

Uthoff finished with 15 points after scoring his first points midway through the first half and grabbed 10 rebounds.

Clemmons scored 13 points and reserve Dom Uhl had 10 for the Hawkeyes. Clemmons, playing near his hometown, had eight points in the first half.

IOWA’S PETER JOK (14) SHOOTS OVER Michigan State’s Denzel Valentine (45). Iowa won, 76-59, on Thursday night in East Lansing, Michigan.

No. 18 Arizona 99, Washington 67 Tucson, Ariz. — Ryan Anderson scored 21 points, Kaleb Tarczewski had 16 points and 13 rebounds, and Arizona overpowered Washington.

Playing their first game without star freshman Allonzo Trier (hand), the Wildcats (14-3, 2-2 Pac12) traded baskets with the athletic Huskies in an entertaining first half before running them over in the second.

No. 21 Louisville 59, No. 20 Pittsburgh 41 Louisville, Ky. — Chinanu Onuaku had 18 points and 10 rebounds as Louisville defeated Pittsburgh.

The sophomore center had his fourth consecutive double-double to go with three blocks. Damion Lee scored 18 points for the Cardinals (14-3, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference).

Pitt (14-2, 3-1) saw its 10-game winning streak snapped in by far its worst outing of the season. Michael Young led the Panthers with 18 points and eight rebounds.

The game resembled a Big East brawl of a bygone era.

Louisville led 20-17 at halftime, the lowest halftime total for both teams this season. Both teams were 1-of-11 (9 percent) from three-point range.

Louisville had a 34-20 ad-

vantage on points in the paint.

Pitt entered the game leading the nation in free throw percentage but shot just 12 of 20 (60 percent) from the line.

Kyle Collinsworth scored 20 points and Chase Fischer added 18 for BYU (13-5, 4-1 West Coast Conference), which upset Gonzaga at home for the second straight season.

Kyle Wiltjer scored 35 points for Gonzaga (13-4, 5-1), which saw a sevengame winning streak snapped. Domantas Sabonis, who averages 18 points per game, was in foul trouble and limited to five points.

KANSAS CITY’S TRAVIS KELCE, LEFT, AND NEW ENGLAND’S ROB GRONKOWSKI will be two of the featured players as the two teams face off in the NFL Playoffs Saturday. Gronkowski and Kelce won’t face each other on Saturday. Not exactly. But the two tight ends will have some bragging rights on the line as the best tight end in the game.

Talented tight ends

FORMER PHILADELPHIA HEAD COACH CHIP KELLY WATCHES THE ACTION from the sidelines in a game against the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, N.C. The San Francisco 49ers have hired Kelly as their new head coach. CEO Jed York announced the move on Twitter and so did the team.

——————‑

Kelce, Gronkowski face off on Saturday

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — Travis Kelce has always been competitive, whether it was on the playground as a kid, the Cleveland Heights football field in high school, or inside Nippert Stadium at the University of Cincinnati.

It didn’t change when he was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs, either.

If anything, the tight end became even more competitive, setting a goal to be the best player at his position in the NFL. And on Saturday, he’ll have his biggest platform yet to state his case when the Chiefs visit the New England Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs.

On the other sideline?

Rob Gronkowski, considered to be the best tight end in the game.

“I have no control over what that guy does. He has no control over what I do,” Kelce said.

“Rob’s been an outstanding tight end, needless to say — all the stuff he’s been able to do in the league. But we’re in a single elimination game. I have no focus or care for what that offense does.”

Nor does Gronkowski care what the Kansas City offense does. Both tight ends are focused on

beating the opposing defense, not beating each other in catches or yards or touchdowns.

It sure is an interesting game within the game, though.

Gronkowski was the Patriots’ leading receiver with 1,176 yards this season, while Kelce was the Chiefs’ second-leading receiver with 875. That put both of them in the top four in the AFC among tight ends, with Gronkowski at the peak of the ladder and Kelce just a few rungs below.

They are also first and fourth, respectively, in yards receiving over the past two years. But it’s Kelce who has the most yards-after-catch among tight ends over that time with 1,045. Gronkowski is next at 1,022, another example of just how closely they mirror each other.

“We see a very good tight end in practice every day, so that’s great.

Very challenging for us,” Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia said.

“But there’s a lot of good tight ends in the league. (Kelce) is certainly one of the better ones and one of the guys that’s most productive.”

His performance in last weekend’s wild-card win over Houston proved it.

Kelce had eight catches for 128 yards, the thirdmost productive perfor-

mance in a playoff game in franchise history.

“Kelce’s good. He’s explosive,” Patriots cornerback Patrick Chung said. “He’s explosive, good hands, good run-after-the-catch. That’s key with him. He’s good. He wouldn’t be in the playoffs — that team wouldn’t be in the playoffs — if he wasn’t good.”

All of those descriptors of Kelce just as accurately apply to Gronkowski, and for good reason: The Patriots tight end has become the mold for all tight ends that have followed him.

He’s big and rangy and physical, but he also has enough speed to stretch defenses. He is a matchup nightmare for a safety, and virtually impossible to defend for a cornerback. Yet when asked to put his hand in the dirt and block in the run game, he is capable of plowing over a linebacker.

“He’s a competitor,” Chiefs safety Eric Berry said. “That along with his size and just his ability as well. But I feel like he’s a big-time competitor. He’s going to compete.”

Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson was asked to consider the differences between the two tight ends. After a couple of minutes of rumination, he came away stumped.

“We use Kelce like they use Gronk. He’s a big factor in the red zone for them,” Pederson said.

“We try to do the same things with Kelce. Thinking about both, we move our guy around, they move their guy around.

It’s harder to find the cons than the pros, because we use our guy like they use theirs.”

There are subtle differences. The Chiefs use Kelce in stack and bunch formations, splitting him out with wide receivers in an attempt to disguise his routes.

Gronkowski often lines up all along in the Patriots scheme, taking advantage of the physical mismatch he presents in one-on-one coverage.

“That would be about the only difference,” Pederson said.

Both tight ends figure to factor prominently in their team’s game plans Saturday, and that should give both the perfect opportunity to prove they are the best at their position.

Notes: WR Jeremy Maclin (sprained ankle) went through warmups Thursday. So did LB Justin Houston (hyperextended knee). C Mitch Morse and RG Laurent Duvernay-Tardif still have not passed through the NFL’s concussion protocol.

St. Louis fans sue Rams

By Jim Salter Associated Press

St. Louis — Rams owner Stan Kroenke and others violated Missouri law by lying about their desire to keep the NFL team in St. Louis, according to a lawsuit filed by fans that seeks class-action status and unspecified damages.

The suit was filed Wednesday in St. Louis Circuit Court, one day after NFL owners voted to allow the Rams to relocate to suburban Los Angeles for next season.

The suit alleges that Kroenke and chief operating officer Kevin

Demoff made false and misleading statements over the years indicating the team had no intention of leaving St. Louis, violating Missouri’s Merchandising Practices Act. The law prohibits false statements in the sale or advertisement of trade or commerce. The suit claims the Rams violated the law in connection with the sale of tickets and merchandise.

Messages seeking comment from the Rams were not returned.

The suit was filed by James Pudlowski, Louis Cross III, Gain Henry and Steve Henry, and was the

first lawsuit stemming from the Rams’ departure.

Among the statements cited in the lawsuit: n Demoff was asked after Kroenke’s purchase of land in Inglewood, California, about the Rams’ future and said, “I expect it will be right here in St. Louis.” The Inglewood site is where Kroenke plans a $1.86 billion stadium expected to open in 2019. n Kroenke said in a 2010 interview, “It’s not our desire to ever lead the charge out of St. Louis. ...

I’m going to attempt to do everything I can to keep the Rams in St. Louis.”

“Defendants did in fact ‘lead the charge’ out of St. Louis, yet defendants never informed their ticket and merchandise buyers or corrected the previous statements,” the lawsuit says.

The St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority, which spent more than $16 million on plans for a new riverfront stadium that the NFL eventually deemed unacceptable, could also sue. The co-chairmen of the task force that led that effort declined to speculate on the possibility of legal action.

San Francisco turns to Kelly

By Cam Inman San Jose Mercury News

The 49ers are willing to find out if Chip Kelly can breathe life into their stagnant offense. They’ve tabbed the former University of Oregon and Philadelphia Eagles coach as Jim Tomsula’s successor.

“As one of the most historic franchises in the National Football League, I realize the high standards and expectations that this position demands and I embrace the challenges ahead,” Kelly said in a team-issued statement.

Kelly’s selection Thursday caps an 11day search that included seven other known candidates, including Mike Shanahan, a fellow finalist who was the 49ers offensive coordinator when they last won the Super Bowl 21 years ago.

Kelly’s introductory news conference isn’t expected to occur until next Tuesday or Wednesday, as he compiles his staff, according to a team spokesman.

“My immediate focus is to build the best coaching staff possible, one that will maximize the abilities of each of our players and put us in the best position to win football games,” Kelly added.

The 49ers’ personnel power still belongs to general manager Trent Baalke, who’s insisted that all coaches have had input on roster decisions since he took over in 2010.

Baalke spearheaded the search that included interviews with Hue Jackson, Tom Coughlin, Mike Shanahan, Dirk Koetter, Anthony Lynn and John DeFilippo. New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and Stanford coach David Shaw were believed to be high on the 49ers’ wish list but neither interviewed for the post.

“Chip possesses all the qualities we were looking for in our next head coach,” Baalke said in a statement. “He has

demonstrated the ability to be innovative everywhere he has coached and has had great success throughout his career.

“Chip’s passion for the game and vision for the future of this team clearly stood out to us during the search process,” Baalke continued. “He is an extremely driven individual that I look forward to working with.”

Immediate reaction among 49ers players was mixed.

Colin Kaepernick reserved comment until he first speaks with Kelly to learn whether he’s wanted to reprise his role as the starting quarterback.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Torrey Smith quipped on social media that he needs to start running to get in shape for Kelly’s uptempo system, and free safety Eric Reid wrote on Twitter how he wonders who will be his defensive coordinator.

A year ago, the 49ers took 17 days and interviewed 10 candidates before promoting Tomsula from defensive-line coach. Two hours after Tomsula produced a 5-11 season, the 49ers fired him.

Kelly wasn’t connected, at least publicly, to any of the NFL’s six other head-coaching vacancies after the Eagles fired him Dec. 29. He is only the second 49ers coach since 1970 to be hired with previous NFL head-coaching experience, the other being Dennis Erickson, who went 9-23 from 2003-04.

CEO Jed York, in a statement, described the 49ers as “thrilled” to have hired Kelly, citing his “proven track record” in his previous stops with the Eagles and Oregon.

“We believe strongly that he is the right man to get this team back to competing for championships,” York stated. “I look forward to watching Trent and Chip work closely to build a team that will make us all proud.”
