Dems divided over legislative strategy

A

rift was exposed this week within the ranks of the House and Senate Democratic caucuses after a news conference Thursday in which their respective leaders laid out their list of “core values” that they plan to fight for this year, but virtually no specific proposals to go along with them.

The split, which also erupted last year, is most apparent on the House side where some members, led by Minority Leader Tom Burroughs of Kansas City, argue that it’s Burroughs the Republicans’ job to introduce bills and put forth proposals that are best for the state. Others, including the more rebellious Rep. Jim Ward of Wichita, who lost to Burroughs in last year’s leadership race, don’t hesitate to put forth their own proposals, even if they know they’ll be shot down by the Republican majority.

Burroughs appeared to try to bridge that gap Thursday when he was asked specifically by one reporter whether Democrats would actually introduce any bills this year — on school finance or taxes or any other Democratic priority — or would they instead stick to offering floor amendments, or simply protesting GOP policies by always voting against them.

.

DEATHS Shirley Maxine Knollenberg Family and friends mourn the loss of Mrs. Shirley Maxine Knollenberg , 92, Lawrence, KS, who departed this life peacefully with family by her side on January 13, 2016 at The Arbor at Brandon Woods.

The family will greet friends on Monday, January 18, 5-7 p.m. at Warren-McElwain Mortuary in Lawrence.

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m.

Tuesday, January 19 at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 2700 Lawrence Avenue, Lawrence, KS. Burial will be at a later date at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis, MN, where she will be laid to rest alongside her adoring husband Victor Frank Knollenberg.

The youngest of five, Shirley was born in Wichita, KS to Andrew T. and Flossie (Davidson) Stires. She grew up in Wichita and graduated from Wichita High School East and then worked as a transcriptionist at Wesley Hospital until she married Victor in 1946.

Married in Mission, KS, they moved to Minnesota where they had their five children.

Shirley was gentle but strong, quiet but joyful. She had a firm faith in the triune God, and was very involved in her Wichita church, Ascension Lutheran. She sang in the choir, quilted with the Dorcas Circle, was church librarian for many years, helped create beautiful banners for the sanctuary, helped with Midweek Meals, was active with the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, and enjoyed regular Bible studies.

Outside of church she enjoyed listening to music, reading, walking, sewing, quilting, travelling, and spending time with her children and grandchildren. She was fearless and fun, and fulfilled her dream of riding in a hot air balloon when she was 85!

Her family was second

Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

t’s been a while since I’ve written anything about the DeBruce Center, the big glass building under construction adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse that will soon be home to James Naismith’s original “Rules of Basket Ball.” But things over there are moving right along.

When plans were first announced a couple years ago, the DeBruce Center was hoped to open in fall 2015 (which, obviously, it

did not). DeBruce is now slated to open in March.

(On a related note: with the new facility becoming available, that’s when the Burge Union will shut down to prepare for demolition and rebuilding.)

Kansas Memorial Unions on Friday announced a few other DeBruce Center updates, most importantly that it has named a director.

SATURDAY COLUMN

Presidential election is critical choice for America

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

President Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday evening was designed to calm fears about the future and call attention to what he considers the many positives about this country and its position in the world.

This comes at a time when North Korea recently tested a more powerful nuclear weapon, terrorist attacks continue throughout the world, two small U.S. Navy boats were seized by the Iranian Navy, religious factions in the Middle East could become so intense that they cause open warfare, Chinese officials have opened distant offshore artificial islands as sites for military air bases, and “hot spots” are opening up around the world on a weekly or even daily basis.

Added to international challenges, there are issues such as the effect of the Chinese economy on the U.S., the global economy, joblessness, problems associated with the uncontrolled and unchecked credentials of thousands of immigrants crossing our border, an out-of-control national debt, racial and poverty issues and many other situations that could trigger highly partisan reactions.

Obama can talk about these matters, but he is a lame duck

president with a divided Congress and a divided country, and his successor in the Oval Office will inherit most of these problems and probably some new ones just as serious or even more important and dangerous.

The dangers are real, and the potential consequences will require the best possible leadership, someone who is honest with the public and has the courage to do the right thing for the safety of this country.

A continuation of the arrogance in the White House and ugly political gamesmanship in the House and Senate is a giant disservice to the nation and likely will result in a weaker country and greater government control of our lives.

The election of our next president comes at a critical time. It cannot be overemphasized. The opening rounds of this massive contest will be rolled out 16 days from now at the Iowa caucuses.

There have been well-publicized debates and other pre-election events, but the main show gets underway in Iowa, and results of these straw votes could set the stage and determine the viability of the candidates for the succeeding primary elections across the country. The Iowa vote could send a signal relative to the contestants in the November election.

Face it: the country is divided

and in a weakened and vulnerable state. Against that backdrop, one of the following individuals is likely to be our next president: Republican candidates are Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, John Kasich, Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Jim Gilmore; Democratic candidates are Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley.

COMMENTARY Which of these men and women will American voters determine to be the best qualified, most honest, most courageous, visionary and best motivated to lead this country? Who measures up to the demands of this job?

Hillary Clinton is locked in a tightening race with Bernie Sanders, but the former senator and secretary of state is likely to win the Iowa vote. However, will voters feel secure and safe under her leadership considering her highly questionable, even disastrous role as secretary of state and her 30-odd years as a Washington insider?

She supported and championed Obama’s political agenda of bringing about “fundamental changes” in America and likely would favor a continuation

of a large majority of Obama policies. What do voters think about a presidential candidate who is known for being a liar?

What kind of president would Sanders be? Are Americans so upset with our system of free enterprise and capitalism and the abuses within this system that they would support a socialist to lead this country?

Chances don’t appear good for O’Malley, but surprises do happen. If Clinton should come in second in Iowa and New Hampshire, is it possible Joe Biden or John Kerry would enter the race?

On the GOP side, there are governors, senators, former House members, a world-class surgeon and a businessman.

Again, who is best qualified? Do governors or former governors have more experience that prepares them for the White House, or do senators or House members have better credentials?

Public surveys report greater numbers of Americans seem to favor candidates free of Washington entanglements. They want fresh faces rather than career politicians.

Into whose hands will Americans place their confidence and well-being, along with this nation’s security? In the eyes of many, this country is at a dangerous crossroads: more or less government involvement in our

lives, a stronger military force or a continued pullback and reduction, more government subsidies and national debt, greater or less control of immigrants, greater respect for Uncle Sam throughout the world or a shrinking of America’s prestige and respect.

These are just a few alternatives that will be determined by a new president.

The Iowa caucuses start the presidential election ball rolling and could provide a fairly accurate forecast of how the nation may vote in November.

Once again, which of the current 15 candidates will be designated as the early leaders?

These 15 individuals have spent years preparing themselves, raising money and planning their strategy to win the nomination. It’s likely more Americans know more about these candidates than in previous elections.

Do this year’s candidates measure up to those in past years or, for one reason or another, have past candidates been elevated to artificial towers of excellence because the public really didn’t know as much about them as they do about today’s candidates?

Regardless, we have what we have, and hopefully voters will give serious consideration to the qualities required to be this country’s commander in chief.

DIRECTOR SPIKE LEE, left, and co-writer and Kansas University professor Kevin Willmott are pictured on set during the filming of ‘Chi-Raq’ in Chicago in 2015.

‘Chi-Raq’ opens at Liberty Hall Out & About “C hi-Raq,” the Spike Lee movie cowritten by local filmmaker Kevin Willmott, is now showing at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. The film made its Lawrence debut Friday evening.

Willmott, an associate professor of film and media studies at Kansas University, co-wrote and served as executive producer of the critically acclaimed satire, which tackles gun violence in Chicago’s south side.

Directed by Lee, the film is a modern-day take on the classic Greek comedy “Lysistrata,” in which women hold a sex strike in the hopes of forcing peace negotiations for the end of the Peloponnesian War. Released nationwide on Dec. 4, “Chi-Raq” has drawn renewed media attention this week for not receiving any 2016 Academy Award nominations in what some have pointed out as an example of #OscarsSoWhite.

The Twitter hashtag, for those not in the know, was used to criticize the Academy Awards last year and again this week for failing to recognize films

Take precautions against canine flu, Humane Society says

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Cases of a new strain of canine influenza have popped up in 25 U.S. states since last spring, but it’s yet to arrive in Kansas.

Kate Meghji, executive director of the Lawrence Humane Society, said the virus could very likely make its way into Lawrence this year, but there are still precautions pet owners can take to protect themselves and their four-legged companions.

“At the rate it’s going, it will probably get to Kansas at some point,” Meghji said. “My fear is that, should this strain get to our area, our dogs (at the Humane Society) are going to be the most vulnerable because we have such a large number of animals housed together.”

When the new virus first began to appear, the Humane Society began vaccinating its dogs against the strain, Meghji said. But with such a large animal population, concerns do remain.

“It spreads pretty quickly,” she said. “Dogs can spread (illness) just like people. If you have upper-respiratory problems or a cold, it can spread very easily through sneezing or

noses touching.”

Symptoms of canine influenza include sneezing, coughing, nasal discharges and “other things you would expect with a flu,” Meghji said. Fatality rates for healthy adult dogs aren’t particularly high, but like the human influenza virus, the illness poses greater risk for puppies and senior dogs.

For those concerned about their dog’s wellbeing, Meghji said, the best course of action is to contact a veterinarian for vaccinations.

“Vaccinate,” she said.

“Especially now that we have a new vaccine that we know is effective against this strain. Vaccinate your dog.”

Otherwise, if pet owners have not vaccinated their dogs, it’s wise to avoid taking them out, Meghji cautioned.

“Dogs shouldn’t be out there meeting other dogs unless they’re fully vaccinated for distemper, bordetella, influenza,” she said. “And if you’re traveling to states with canine influenza, leave your dog in Lawrence. There are wonderful places around to board them.

“But the most important thing is that if your dog is showing symptoms of illness, the first thing you should do is call your vet,” she added.

Alina isn’t the first 16-year-old to graduate from KU, but students like her are rare.

She is the first 16-yearold to earn a degree since spring 1995, according to KU spokesman Andy Hyland. He said KU has had an average of three fulltime degree-seeking students age 16 or younger on campus each semester since fall 2003.

Chris Wiles, Alina’s Honors Program adviser at KU, said Alina was probably the most mature of the many accelerated students he’d worked with.

“She has continued to excel, pursuing multiple majors and graduating early, while participating in a number of opportunities beyond the classroom,” Wiles said. “She is obviously incredibly gifted, but she is also a wonderful young woman, and generally just a very pleasant person. For all of her talents, none of it would be possible if she weren’t a tireless, dedicated worker as well.”

Alina plans to move to Washington, D.C., in the coming week, where she has a spring internship with the U.S. Department of State, pending her passing her security clearance. The internship is through a KU program, and she’ll be living in an apartment with a couple of other students.

Afterward, she figures she’ll take one of two paths: academia, going to graduate school for political science with the hopes of one day becoming a professor, or perhaps working for the government in an area such

She hopes the internship will help her “test the waters.”

At some point, she also wants to live in China, where she studied abroad as an undergrad.

The goal, she said, would be to solidify her fluency in the language, which she first learned some of from her parents, KU aerospace engineering professor Charlie Zheng and Lawrence High School integrated studies educator Shirley Zheng, both immigrants from China.

At KU, Alina majored in political science with minors in math and economics.

She was able to complete her degree in less

than three years, graduating in December, thanks to college credits she had earned as a student at Lawrence’s Free State High School.

And yes, to graduate high school and enroll at KU at 14, she did skip a few grades.

Alina said her parents tell her that she was doing well enough in preschool that instead of enrolling in kindergarten she went straight into second grade.

In elementary school, she said, she felt like she wanted more of a challenge and asked to skip all of middle school.

“But my educators didn’t want me to miss out on middle school completely,” she said, so

they compromised. Skip seventh grade, attend eighth grade, skip ninth.

When her family moved from Manhattan to Lawrence, she started at Free State High as a 10th-grader and attended the school three years.

Throughout childhood and high school, she played the cello, including as principal cellist with the Topeka Symphony Youth Orchestra.

She chose to play with the Topeka group over her high school orchestra because the pieces were more challenging, Alina said.

“I’m mostly self-motivated,” Alina said.

Alina said part of the reason she chose KU was for its individualized attention and the leadership and extracurricular opportunities she would have.

Again, that’s basically just like anyone else — except that she happens to be 16.

“It’s not for everybody — everybody has to have their own path,” Alina said. “I think society’s really great today, in that people really respect intelligence and getting a head start in life.”

Rachel Gronback, 31, who lives in New Zealand and writes about “fashion, online shopping and body positivity,” said she began to receive inappropriate messages on her Instagram account in late November.

Gronback wrote on her blog that she continued to receive inappropriate messages and photos over the course of several weeks and was eventually able to identify the person sending them as a student at Lawrence’s Veritas Christian School.

Gronback said she contacted the school’s administration about the issue. She also filed a formal criminal complaint Friday with the Lawrence Police Department.

“She is graciously offering to put a packet together in a very readable and chronological fashion,” McKinley said. “Our first step is to review any new information that she is giving us, and once we have that, the next step is to go out and visit with the suspect in the incident.”

McKinley said based on the information Gronback provided in her complaint, officers will be investigating possible harassment by telecommunication device, a misdemeanor.

The Kansas Criminal Statute describes harassment by

telecommunication device partially as using an electronic device to send “lewd, lascivious or indecent” images, comments or suggestions.

McKinley said the suspect is not a minor.

Kelli Huslig, Veritas administrator, said Thursday afternoon the school staff had not been in contact with law enforcement and would not further discuss studentrelated issues.

Gronback wrote about the ongoing situation extensively on her blog and said she has received both support from Lawrence residents and more inappropriate messages from others.

2 arrested in Dec. apartment robbery

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Two Topeka men suspected of taking part in a late December robbery outside an apartment party have been arrested.

Thursday afternoon, Travis Tyrell Scott, 21, and Cameron Marshawn Hobbs, 22, were arrested

by Lawrence police in Topeka, each on suspicion of aggravated robbery.

Both men were booked

proof-of-citizenship law because it suggests the state must fully recognize voter registrations from people who use the federal form, which does not ask for citizenship proof.

That would mean any person wanting to register could circumvent the state citizenship law simply by using the federal form.

Kobach said he plans to appeal or ask Theis to reconsider his ruling.

“If Judge Theis’ decision were to stand on appeal, which I believe is unlikely, then yes, it would create a loophole in Kansas’ proof of citizenship requirement,” Kobach told the JournalWorld in a phone interview. “But his opinion is inconsistent with Kansas law. Judge Theis does not squarely address the biggest problem with his opinion, which is that Kansas law says ... no person shall be registered until that person provides proof of citizenship.”

Just after 3 a.m. Dec. 23, police responded to a report of a robbery at an apartment in the 3100 block of Ousdahl Road, Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley said in December.

The two victims — one man from Lawrence and another man from Leavenworth — had been at a

are 29 people listed on the county’s election rolls who registered using the federal form, but none of them cast ballots in the 2014 elections.

Theis’ ruling did not include a remedy order halting the dual election process. But Doug Bonney, the ACLU attorney who filed the case, said that is only a procedural matter, and he plans next to ask for such an order, either as part of the current case or in a new case.

“Federal form registrants are being shunted into this class where the bifurcated election system applies,” Bonney said. “Their votes are only counted in federal elections. We don’t even know how, or if, local election authorities and the Secretary of State’s office is cataloging these people. They are not entered on the voter rolls as registered voters. Some of them have appeared on the suspense list, including our clients, until the Secretary of State went ahead and registered our clients.”

The case involves two plaintiffs, Aaron Belenky and Scott Jones, both of

The suspects then followed both victims to their car in the apartment’s parking lot and demanded their cellphones, wallets and other valuables, McKinley said. At least two of the suspects had firearms.

After robbing the victims of their valuables,

all the suspects left the scene in two vehicles, McKinley said.

Both victims followed the suspects in their vehicle, but their cellphones had just been stolen so they couldn’t call police, McKinley said. Soon they returned to the apartment and reported the incident.

The victims suffered minor injuries but declined medical attention at the scene, McKinley said.

— Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach whom attempted to register using the federal form but had their registrations placed “in suspense” for failing to show proof of citizenship.

After the case was filed, Kobach’s office, on its own initiative, located the documents needed to satisfy the proof-of-citizenship requirement and approved both of their registrations.

He then filed a motion to dismiss the suit, saying the plaintiffs no longer had standing to sue because they were fully registered.

Judge Theis, however, rejected that argument, calling it a “gratuitous and unsolicited act” that may have solved the immediate question for them, but did not erase the fact that they had previously been placed in suspense solely on the basis of how they chose to register, or the fact

that they had to sue in court in order to become registered.

At one point last year, more than 30,000 wouldbe voters in Kansas had their registrations being held in suspense because they had not shown proof of citizenship. Then, in September, Kobach issued new regulations directing county election officials to cancel all incomplete or “suspense” registrations that have been held longer than 90 days.

In a 2013 case involving Arizona’s proof-of-citizenship law, the U.S. Supreme Court said states must accept and use those federal forms. But the court also said states such as Arizona and Kansas that have additional requirements for registration could request that the U.S. Election Assistance Commission provide them amended forms.

‘Sesame Street,’ gentrified?

Can a street have a new address? The 46th season of “Sesame Street” (8 a.m. Saturday, HBO) debuts on a new network, with a new set and a new format. Episodes have been shortened from an hour to 30 minutes.

The much-discussed relocation to a premium network has concerned some. They feel that limiting this iconic series to a network that some families cannot afford may teach a lesson in inequality to its young audience.

Both HBO and the makers of “Sesame Street” contend that all of the episodes seen on HBO will be available on PBS nine months after their initial run.

While known for such adult series as “The Sopranos” and “Game of Thrones,” HBO has much to gain from adding “Sesame Street.” With so many programming platforms, some customers tend to drop one service or another for a time. That becomes more difficult when your young children are hooked on a particular show. That’s why Netflix, Hulu and HBO have been restocking their shelves with new shows for children.

“Sesame Street” will continue its tradition of including A-list cameos. Look for Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Williams, Nick Jonas, Sara Bareilles, Alan Cumming and Ne-Yo to mingle with the Cookie Monster this season.

Launched in 1969, “Sesame Street” reflected a blurring of the lines between children’s programming and adult entertainment, a trend already underway. Just last month, we commemorated the 50th anniversary of “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” a holiday special that appealed equally to kids and fairly sophisticated adults.

The mid-1960s saw the rise of the cult “Soupy Sales Show,” a syndicated kids’ spoof rife with innuendo and hip slang aimed at a much more knowing audience. It wasn’t unusual for Frank Sinatra to show up with Joey Bishop and Sammy Davis Jr. Launched 50 years ago this past week on Jan. 12, 1966, ABC’s “Batman” blended kids’ comic book adventures with a pop art sensibility and high camp, attracting a bizarre conga line of celebrity cameos. In devising “Sesame Street,” the folks at the Children’s Television Workshop simply used this approach for educational purposes. The rest is television history.

Tonight’s other highlights O If “The Seven New Signs of the Apocalypse” (7 p.m., History) aired as a science-fiction movie or some televangelist’s latest fundraiser, it would be one thing, but airing it as “History” seems obscene.

But it’s not in yours.

Since your mother no longer needs your financial support beyond what you have already offered, please ignore their entreaties to stay.

Don’t argue with your family. Simply promise Mom that you will see her often, and assure your siblings that Mom will not be neglected.

Calmly repeat those words as often as you need to. In time, they will get used to your new circumstances and things will normalize.

Obama presidency limping to finish line Washington — President Obama’s Tuesday night address to Congress was less about the state of the union than the state of the presidency. And the state of this presidency is spent.

The signs of intellectual exhaustion were everywhere.

Consider just three. After taking credit for success in Syria, raising American stature abroad and prevailing against the Islamic State — one claim more surreal than the next — Obama was forced to repair to his most well-worn talking point: “If you doubt America’s commitment — or mine — to see that justice is done, just ask Osama bin Laden.”

Really? Five years later, that’s all you’ve got?

Indeed, it is. What else can Obama say? Talk about Crimea?

Cite Yemen, Libya, Iraq, the South China Sea, the return of the Taliban?

“Surveys show our standing around the world is higher than when I was elected to this office,” Obama boasted. Surveys, mind you. As if superpower influence is a Miss Universe contest. As if the world doesn’t see our allies adrift, our enemies on the march and our sailors kneeling, hands behind their heads, in front of armed Iranians, then forced to apologize on camera. (And our secretary of state expressing appreciation to Iran after their subsequent release.)

On the domestic side, Obama’s agenda was fairly

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

There is wisdom to the 22nd Amendment.

After two terms, presidents are spent.”

short, in keeping with his lameduck status. It was still startling when he worked up a passion for a great “new moonshot”: curing cancer.

Is there a more hackneyed national-greatness cliche than the idea that if we can walk on the moon? Or a more hackneyed facsimile of vision than being “the nation that cures cancer”?

Do Obama’s speechwriters not know that it was Richard Nixon who first declared a war on cancer — in 1971?

But to see just how bare is the cupboard of ideas of the nation’s most vaunted liberal visionary, we had to wait for the stunning anachronism that was the speech finale. It was designed for inspiration and uplift. And for some liberal observers, it actually worked.

They were thrilled by the soaring tones as Obama called for,

yes, a new politics — a postpartisan spirit of mutual understanding, rational discourse and respect for one’s opponents.

Why, it was hope and change all over again. You’d have thought we were back in 2008 with Obama’s moving, stirring promise of a new and higher politics that had young people swooning in the aisles and a TV anchor thrilling up the leg — and gave Obama the White House.

Or even further back to 2004, when Obama electrified the nation with his Democratic convention speech: “There’s not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America.”

Tuesday night, Obama did an undisguised, almost phrasefor-phrase reprise of that old promise. Earnestly, he urged us to “see ourselves not, first and foremost, as black or white, or Asian or Latino, not as gay or straight, immigrant or native born, not as Democrats or Republicans, but as Americans first.”

On cue, various commentators were moved by this sermon summoning our better angels.

Good grief. I can understand falling for this 12 years ago. But now? A cheap self-quotation, a rhetorical mulligan, from a man who had two presidential terms to act on that transformative vision and instead gave us the most divisive, partisan, tendentious presidency since Nixon.

Rational discourse and re-

spect for one’s opponents? This is a man who campaigned up and down the country throughout 2011 and 2012 saying that he cares about posterity, Republicans only about power.

The man who accused opponents of his Iran treaty of “making common cause” with Iranians “chanting death to America.”

The man who, after Paul Ryan proposed a courageous, controversial entitlement reform, gave a presidential address — with Ryan, invited by the White House, seated in the first row — calling his ideas unAmerican.

In a final touch of irony, Obama included in his wistful rediscovery of a more elevated politics an expression of reverence for, of all things, how “our founders distributed power between ... branches of government.” This after years of repeatedly usurping Congress’ legislative power with unilateral executive orders and regulations on everything from criminal justice to climate change to immigration (already halted by the courts).

There is wisdom to the 22nd Amendment. After two terms, presidents are spent. Nothing shows it like a State of the Union valedictory repeating the hollow promises of the yesteryear candidate — as if the intervening presidency had never occurred.

PUBLIC FORUM

Civil discourse To the editor: Like many, I tuned in to the CNN special featuring President Obama fielding questions about guns in America. The audience included members from both sides of the debate who challenged the president with tough questions. I was surprised that my main takeaway was not anything about guns. Instead, I was struck by how a sincere and civil discussion on an issue felt like a breath of fresh air compared to typical debates that are characterized by rancor and hyperbole.

This problem may originate from greater division within the general population. A recent study featured in Vox.com found that, in 1960, fewer than 5 percent of parents from both parties objected to a child marrying outside of the family political allegiance. In 2010, this percentage was greater than 30 percent. I do not think it is a problem that will change easily. In our current world, it is easy to filter out voices that run contrary to our personal ideology.

We can unfriend people who disagree with us. We can watch shows that support our position.

I believe that Obama’s town hall gives a glimpse of how to begin bridging the ideological divide in our nation. When we have a conversation with someone, we realize that our opponents are people, just like us.

When we take time to talk, we might realize that our own views are not as concrete as we thought. At the very least, we might develop a new sense of respect for people on the other side of an issue.

Spencer Chestnut, Lawrence

Prisoners’ fate To the editor: I don’t believe we should be keeping these terrorists alive at the taxpayers expense, especially at Leavenworth, as suggested. Many of our own prisoners are on death row. Why coddle these terrorists? We should take care of them the same way we took care of their leader, Osama bin Laden. Drop them off at an undisclosed place. We should not be paying other countries

to hold them either. They are a threat to all! They cannot be trusted. Did their victims get a choice? How do you know that they are not reaching out to others of the ISIS group here to set up more plans of attack?

Just think, many of our own poor people are going without food, shelter and medical care while these terrorists are being cared for. Sick, isn’t it?

Mary Ann Kieffer, Lawrence

Godly parents To the editor: The Jan. 14 J-W article on the Kansas Department of Children and Families quotes Tom Witt of Equality Kansas. There is no doubt about Witt’s position. His tirade is loaded with derogatory, audacious words directed at ideologues and the state of Kansas. However, Jesus’ judgement statement in Matthew 12:37 is a sobering indictment to all who would chose to speak this way: “By your words, you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned.”

Politics seems to be an area in our society where we think that we can ignore this truth, but it is clear that we will be accountable for our words whether we are in a public arena or at home.

Concerning child care, the Old Testament ends with a rebuke of husbands who are unfaithful to their wives which hinders the purpose of marriage to produce godly offspring (Malachi 3:15). The New Testament demonstrates again God’s intentions for a family when Jesus honors the marriage of a man and woman in Cana where He performed His first of many miracles (John 2:1-11).

The Bible is clear that children should be raised by godly parents consisting of a father and mother; not male/male or female/female parents.

Obviously, there are ungodly married male/female parents which complicates DCF’s responsibilities to children without such parents. My position is that each male/female family must be vetted to insure that a foster child is cared for as someone created in the image of God. Carl Burkhead, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 16, 1916: “The lack of preparedness on the part of the Lawrence police force which Mayor Francisco commented on at a meeting of the years city commission some time ago has now been ago remedied. Three 30-30 Savage rifles have IN 1916 been received and will be kept in the office of the chief of police for any emergencies that may arise. While the city officers are equipped with revolvers and clubs … they would not with these weapons be fitted to take an active part in the capture of bank robbers or other bandits who were prepared for long range fighting.”

The Denver-based chain says all its stores will open at 3 p.m. local time on Feb. 8. Stores typically open at 11 a.m.

The delayed openings are so employees can take part in a team meeting to discuss changes the company is making to tighten its food safety measures.

The market storm that has engulfed Wall Street to start 2016 took aim at stock investors again, when the Dow closed down nearly 400 points Friday as increasingly jittery traders reacted to the latest swoon in oil prices and another big sell-off in Chinese stocks.

The massive sell-off extended the U.S. stock market’s worst start to a year to 10 trading sessions.

The slide is gaining steam amid rising investor fears of slowing global growth and even steeper losses in markets.

posite slid 3.6%, putting it back in bear market territory, or more than 20% from its recent high.

“The market has been dropping because of concerns about global growth,” says Alan Skrainka, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth Management. “The U.S. and China have been the two biggest engines pulling the world economy forward. Currently, investors are worried that one of those engines (China) has lost a lot of its momentum.”

The latest sell-off is a sign that many investors, spooked by the bloodletting on Wall Street, are throwing in the towel and reducing their positions in stocks to pare risk. “It does feel a bit like capitulation before a near-term bottom right now,” Barry Bannister, chief equity strategist at Stifel, told USA TODAY.

With 17 exonerations to her name, Steven Avery’s new attorney isn’t afraid to take on seemingly hopeless cases.

“She tends to take on cases that seem difficult or unwinnable on the surface, but when you dig into it, as she does, she finds the legal hook or legal axiom that needs to be presented publicly, which sometimes then changes the whole complexion of the case,” said Rich F. Mallen, an Illinois attorney who first worked with Kathleen Zellner on a civil case in 2002.

Among the people Zellner has cleared is Ryan Ferguson, a Missouri man sentenced to 40 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. He was freed in 2013 after she got key witnesses to admit they had lied under police pressure, according to

Chicago Lawyer magazine. A $100 million federal civil rights lawsuit is pending against the county, the prosecutor, the police and others, according to her firm’s website.

She says she’s confident she’ll add Avery to the exonerated list.

Tuesday, Zellner tweeted that she visited with Avery in prison: “He is identical to the other 17 innocent men we’ve cleared.

Won’t quit until he’s out.”

Walmart to close 269 stores, shut down ‘Express’ format Closures to allow digital advance Hadley Malcolm USA TODAY

Walmart (WMT) will close 269 stores around the world in a strategic move to focus more on its supercenters and e-commerce business, the company said Friday.

The closures include 154 U.S. locations, encompassing Walmart’s entire fleet of 102 “Express” format stores, its smallest locations meant to compete with

Walmart plans to focus more on its supercenters and online commerce. Among 269 planned closures, 154 stores are in the USA.

dollar stores, which have been in pilot testing since 2011. Some supercenters, Sam’s Club locations and Neighborhood Markets will also close, plus 115 stores in Latin American markets. The closures were decided based on financial performance and how well the locations fit with Walmart’s broader strategy, says Greg Hitt, a company spokesman.

Walmart has been working aggressively to grow its e-commerce presence and digital services, plus upgrade stores and provide shoppers with a more pleasant experience. In that vein, the company has made a big push to increase wages and provide more training

to employees, an effort that’s costing more than $1 billion.

The store closures, which represent less than 1% of global revenue from Walmart’s nearly 11,600 stores worldwide, will allow the retailer to step up its digital and in-store initiatives, Hitt says.

In a statement, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said the company is “committed to growing, but we are being disciplined about it.”

Walmart plans to open more than 300 stores in the coming fiscal year.

Given the company’s scale, the store closures won’t have a huge impact on the business, says Brian Yarbrough, consumer staples

analyst with Edward Jones, adding that the move opens the opportunity for dollar stores to regain market share as they’ll no longer compete against Walmart’s Express stores.

“In the grand scheme of things and as far as being material to the financial results, this means nothing,” he says. Although Yarbrough says it could spell more store closures as Walmart reevaluates its physical footprint in a Web-centric market.

About 16,000 store associates will be affected by the closures, about 10,000 in the USA. Some will have the opportunity to relocate to other Walmarts.

Bush super PAC lobs last-minute attacks Group obliterates rivals when it comes to spending millions Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

A super PAC backing Jeb Bush has spent more than $61 million, far outpacing rival groups as it burns through an enormous stockpile of cash to boost his struggling presidential campaign.

The Right to Rise USA super PAC has dropped more than $12 million in TV ads, direct mail and other outreach this month as it works to bolster the former Florida governor and stop the ascent of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich — before the Iowa caucuses Feb. 1 and the first primary of the GOP nominaGETTY IMAGES tion battle Feb. Jeb Bush 9 in New Hampshire.

Rubio, Bush’s onetime protégé, is the biggest obstacle to Bush and the others, such as Kasich, who seek to become the GOP establishment’s alternative to billionaire Donald Trump and firebrand Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Trump and Cruz are battling for the No. 1 spot in Iowa polls, and Rubio is in third place, according to a RealClearPolitics average of recent polls.

Not surprisingly, Right to Rise has trained most of its recent firepower on Rubio, releasing a fresh round of television and digital ads this week that seek to paint the first-term senator as untrustworthy.

It’s not clear whether Right to Rise’s early financial advantage — and its last-minute spending spree — can power Bush past his rivals. Right to Rise’s investment amounts to more than five times what the super PAC supporting Christie reported spending, according to the Sunlight Foundation’s tally of Federal Election Commission records. Even so, both men jockeyed for fifth position in New Hampshire, recent polls show.

Interim Police Superintendent John Escalante attends a news conference with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Dec. 7.

Help wanted: Police chief to work with Emanuel Controversial Chicago mayor adds complication to job Aamer Madhani and Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

The nation’s third-largest city is searching for a new top cop to lead its police department.

The job requires someone capable of restoring public trust in a 12,000-officer department engulfed in a long-building crisis, reversing a rising homicide rate in a city that tallied nearly 500 murders last year, and devising and implementing plans to deal with terrorism threats that face America’s big cities.

The person who fills the position will also need to deal with a boss who is facing daily calls for his resignation.

“Basically, they’re looking for someone who is a cross between Genghis Khan and Jesus,” said Peter Scharf, an assistant professor at the LSU School of Public Health who has done extensive research of police department efforts to fight crime. “The question is, Who would want to take on this job?”

Friday marked the deadline for candidates to submit an application to be the next Chicago police superintendent, arguably the most difficult law enforcement job in the country. Now, the task of identifying the man or woman CHICAGO

willing and capable of taking on a monumentally difficult job begins.

The last superintendent, Garry McCarthy, was forced to resign by Mayor Rahm Emanuel last month in the midst of protests and growing anger in the African-American community after the court-ordered release of police video that showed a white officer pumping 16 shots into 17-year-old Laquan McDonald on a city street.

Days before his firing, McCarthy confidently told reporters that Emanuel “has my back,” and that he’d be around to shepherd the department through the crisis.

Emanuel decided McCarthy had become a “distraction.”

Darrel Stephens, a former Charlotte police chief and executive director of the Major Cities Chiefs Association, said the opening was the most challenging police chief job in America.

Stephens, who said he has been contacted by the Chicago Police Board for recommendations for the job, said that the way McCarthy was pushed out will undoubtedly weigh on the minds of some top-flight candidates.

“Candidates looking at the job will have to be a little concerned about what kind of support they are going to be getting and the relationship they are going to be having with the mayor,” Stephens

said.

The situation in Chicago has become more complicated since the ouster of McCarthy. On Christmas Eve weekend, a young police officer shot and killed Quintonio LeGrier, 19, and Bettie Jones, 55, during a domestic disturbance. Police said that the officer accidentally killed Jones when firing at her neighbor LeGrier, who was wielding a baseball bat.

tion. The probe was launched last month following the release of the Laquan McDonald shooting video.

All the while, the city finds itself dealing with a surge in violence. The city has already recorded at least 24 murders and more than 120 shootings in 2016.

“We do know that we’re facing a serious challenge right now,” a frustrated interim superintendent John Escalante told reporters this week.

Despite the challenges that will

“They’re looking for a cross between Genghis Khan and Jesus. ... Who would want to take on this job?”

Peter Scharf, an LSU School of Public Health assistant professor

On Thursday, a federal judge ordered the release of another video that shows a police officer shooting unarmed 17-year-old Cedrick Chatman as he ran away from two plainclothes cops after stealing a car. Kevin Fry, the officer who shot Chatman, said in a deposition for a lawsuit over the 2013 incident that he thought a dark object Chatman was holding was a gun. It was, in fact, a black iPhone box.

The next superintendent will also inherit a department that is in the early stages of a Justice Department civil rights investiga-

face the next superintendent, Lori Lightfoot, president of the Chicago Police Board, said there was a “robust group of applicants” vying for the job.

Still, Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, said it may prove difficult to persuade top-tier candidates to work with Emanuel.

“Emanuel is going to be a huge problem for anybody considering that job,” Pasco said. “Any candidate for that job would have to weigh the issue of working for a person with such finely tuned survival instincts.”

LAWYER A ‘HEROINE’ TO HER COLLEAGUES v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Avery’s case. She announced last Friday that she and Tricia Bushnell, legal director of the Midwest Innocence Project, would represent Avery in criminal matters.

Zellner did not respond to requests for comment, while a spokesman for the Midwest Innocence Project said Wednesday that Bushnell is not speaking with the media.

Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, were convicted in the homicide in 2005 of Teresa Halbach, 25, in Manitowoc County. Both men were sentenced to life in prison. A judge in Dassey’s case set a parole eligibility date of Oct. 31, 2048.

The Netflix docu-series Making a Murderer turned the international spotlight on the cases of Avery and Dassey and highlighted allegations of police misconduct made in the case.

DOING THE LEGWORK

If her previous work is any indication, Zellner has probably already done a lot of digging on the Avery case, Mallen said.

For her, Mallen said, that means doing legwork that other attorneys might leave to an investigator or an associate.

In the civil case he handled with her, Chicago police had been sent to the home of a domestic violence victim but took too long to get there. They arrived after the woman had been shot and killed by her estranged husband.

The attorneys got the audio of the phone call from dispatch,

then took an approach Mallen said helped synthesize the information for the court.

“We actually took a car, like a police car, followed the same route that the police officers could have — and should have — followed and got to the house,” Mallen said. “And we timed it and then we had a video producer take the audio and show how if the police had just left in a timely fashion, followed their normal procedures, they could have gotten to her house long before she was shot and killed.”

They won a $4.25 million settlement for the estate of the woman who died, according to Mallen and news reports.

Karen Seimetz, who represented the city of Chicago in that lawsuit, described Zellner as a “fierce and formidable opponent.”

“She’ll go through a case with a fine-tooth comb,” Seimetz said. “I think that’s part of what makes her a challenge because she really knows the case, and she will find every flaw that there is to find.”

Seimetz described her as very fair, professional and straightforward.

IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE

Zellner’s work is geared more toward justice than anything else, her colleagues said.

“I think she’s a little different than a lot of attorneys that file these kinds of lawsuits,” Seimetz said. “I think for her — her interest really is more in obtaining justice for her client and not a contingency fee for herself.”

After one case, Seimetz asked

Zellner to come in and explain the hallmarks of a false confession to some of the lawyers defending the city — Zellner’s opponents. Most lawyers wouldn’t be part of training their opposition, because they wouldn’t want to give any of their strategy or secrets away, Seimetz said.

Zellner made a presentation before 20 to 30 defense attorneys.

“I just think it just sort of says something,” Seimetz said. “Maybe it gets back to her self-confidence or really kind of what her overall objective is.”

She takes on cases that are difficult and controversial, probably where she thinks she can do some social good, said James D. Montgomery, who has worked with her on a couple of cases, including the civil case in 2002.

“The conscientiousness with which she represents and cares about her clients has always made her a heroine for me,” he said.

She doesn’t take on just any case.

Zellner must be convinced of the person’s innocence, and DNA evidence must play a central role in getting to the truth if she’s going to take a case, the Illinois State Bar Association wrote.

As for the Avery case, it seems right up her alley, Seimetz said.

“The series obviously highlights some rather questionable goings-on, and that is the sort of thing that would pique her interest,” she said.

nominee who has more than proven her capability, competence and ability. I support her appointment to the Supreme Court and urge the Senate to keep politics out of the process and confirm her nomination.”

HIGHLIGHTS THE FINAL DEBATE BEFORE THE IOWA CAUCUSES FEB. 1 CONTAINED OLD AND NEW CLAIMS ALIKE:

TRUMP ON SYRIAN REFUGEES

Trump painted a distorted picture of the demographics of the Syrian refugees as mostly “strong, powerful men.”

Most of the more than 4.6 million Syrian refugees registered with the United Nations are women and children. According to the United Nations, as of Dec. 31, about half of them (50.7%) are women. Twenty percent are males under the age of 12.

u SEN. TED CRUZ, WHO WAS BORN IN CANADA, SAID THE LAW IS “QUITE CLEAR” that the “child of a U.S. citizen born abroad is a natural-born citizen,” therefore eligible to be president. Legal consensus is on his side, but the issue isn’t settled and could require a Supreme Court ruling. uSEN. MARCO RUBIO AND CRUZ DIS-

AGREED OVER WHETHER CRUZ’S TAX PLAN, which relies on a 16% tax on businesses, was a “value-added tax” or VAT, as Rubio said. Rubio is correct.

IMMIGRATION BILL

Cruz said the Senate immigration bill “expanded Barack Obama’s power to let in Syrian refugees … without mandating meaningful background checks.” The bill, S. 744, would have made it easier for members of certain groups designated by the president to qualify as refugees, but they would still have been subject to the same required screening process as other refugees before they could come to the USA.

uNEW JERSEY GOV. CHRIS CHRISTIE REPEATED HIS CLAIM THAT HE “DIDN’T SUPPORT” SUPREME COURT JUSTICE SONIA SOTOMAYOR. But in 2009, he said, “I support her

appointment,” and he urged the Senate to confirm her, while saying he wouldn’t have nominated her. uBUSINESSMAN DONALD TRUMP DE-

SCRIBED THE SYRIAN REFUGEES AS MOSTLY “STRONG, POWERFUL MEN.” But most of the

more than 4.6 million refugees registered with the United Nations are women and children. uCRUZ REPEATED HIS CLAIM THAT THE SENATE IMMIGRATION BILL THAT RUBIO COSPONSORED would have given the president

power to admit Syrian refugees “without mandating meaningful background checks.” The bill would have made it easier for members of certain groups to qualify as refugees, but they would still be subject to background checks. uRUBIO CLAIMED THAT CRUZ FLIPPED POSI-

TIONS ON HIS SUPPORT FOR LEGALIZATION OF IMMIGRANTS LIVING IN THE USA ILLEGALLY. That depends on whether or not Cruz

was bluffing in 2013 when he proposed an amendment that would have allowed legalization.

uCHRISTIE REPEATED HIS CLAIM THAT “WE

DOUBLE TAX” U.S. COMPANIES WITH OVERSEAS OPERATIONS. The U.S. tax code provides

a foreign tax credit to avoid that.

uCHRISTIE, RUBIO AND OHIO GOV. JOHN

KASICH ALL SAID THE USA HAS THE HIGHEST CORPORATE TAX RATE IN THE WORLD. It’s the

highest statutory tax rate among industrialized nations but not the highest marginal effective tax rate.

uIN THE EARLIER DEBATE, FORMER PENN-

SYLVANIA SENATOR RICK SANTORUM CLAIMED 2 MILLION MANUFACTURING JOBS HAD BEEN LOST UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA.

The number is 230,000 jobs lost.

uBUSINESSWOMAN CARLY FIORINA SAID OF THE ATTACKS IN BENGHAZI, LIBYA, IN SEPTEMBER 2012: “When you do not say the

United States of America will retaliate for that attack, terrorists assume it’s open season.”

Obama repeatedly vowed to bring the killers to justice.

Seven GOP candidates met on the main stage Jan. 14: Trump, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Rubio, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, Cruz, Kasich and Chris Christie. The earlier undercard debate featured Rick Santorum, Fiorina and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. The debate aired on Fox Business Network and was held in North Charleston, S.C.

CRUZ’S ELIGIBILITY

Asked about Trump questioning whether Cruz is eligible to serve as president, Cruz said, “The facts and the law here are really quite clear: Under long-standing U.S. law, the child of a U.S. citizen born abroad is a natural-born citizen.”

The issue isn’t as settled as Cruz makes out. The Constitution does not define “natural born,” and the Supreme Court has not ruled on its precise meaning. Some constitutional scholars say Cruz isn’t ineligible.

Cruz’s birth certificate shows he was born in Calgary, Alberta, on Dec. 22, 1970, to an American mother and Cuban father. Cruz, who came to the USA at age 4, is a citizen by birth because his mother was a U.S. citizen when he was born. The Constitution requires a president to be not just a citizen, but a “natural born Citizen.”

In 2013, Sarah Helene Duggin, a Catholic University law professor, wrote, “There is a strong argument that anyone who acquires United States citizenship at birth, whether by virtue of the 14th Amendment or by operation of federal statute, qualifies as natural born.” The non-partisan Congressional Research Service reached a similar conclusion in 2011.

Other legal scholars disagree.

The Washington Post published an opinion piece by Mary Brigid McManamon, a constitutional law professor at Widener University’s Delaware Law School, in which she made the argument that Cruz is not eligible to be president: “The law is clear: The framers of the Constitution required the president of the United States to be born in the United States.”

THE VAT SPAT

Rubio and Cruz tangled on the Texan’s tax plan, which relies on a 16% tax to be paid by businesses.

Rubio said Cruz was proposing a “value-added tax” or VAT, of the kind Ronald Reagan opposed.

The non-partisan, businessfunded Tax Foundation has described the Cruz proposal as a “subtraction method value-added tax,” and the conservative National Review also describes it as a VAT. What Cruz proposes is to eliminate both the corporate income tax (which falls on net profits) and the payroll tax, substituting a 16% tax on businesses “on revenues minus expenses such as equipment, computers, and other business investments.” Not mentioned is that the Cruz tax would fall on what businesses pay their employees and would tend to be passed along and paid by consumers in the form of higher prices.

Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson and Jeb Bush walk onto the stage at the GOP debate Thursday.

According to the United Nations, about half of the Syrian refugees are women.

CHRISTIE ON SOTOMAYOR

Rubio said Christie supported Sotomayor’s appointment, which Christie denied.

His statement in 2009 — when he was a candidate for governor in New Jersey — might have had a caveat, but it certainly was support. The website PolitickerNJ carried Christie’s statement at the time, which said, “After watching and listening to Judge Sotomayor’s performance at the confirmation hearings this week, I am confident that she is qualified for the position of Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. … While Judge Sotomayor would not have been my choice, President Obama has used his opportunity to fill a seat on the Supreme Court by choosing a

CRUZ ON LEGALIZATION

In 2013, Cruz offered an amendment to a Senate immigration bill that would have stripped out a proposal for a path to citizenship for those in the country illegally.

His amendment would have left intact the bill’s provisions to provide legal status for them. Numerous media outlets described Cruz’s plan as a compromise “middle road” in the immigration debate that he hoped might be palatable to enough legislators in both houses of Congress to actually pass.

Cruz’s campaign said the amendment was a ploy to expose the real motivations of the bill’s supporters.

DOUBLE TAXATION

The U.S. statutory corporate tax rate is 35%, as Christie said. The United States has what is known as a “worldwide approach,” which, as explained by the Congressional Budget Office, taxes all income “regardless of where that income is earned.” The CBO says the United States typically provides a foreign tax credit “to avoid taxing income twice.”

HIGHEST CORPORATE TAX?

The USA has the highest statutory rate, 39.1%, among the 34 industrialized nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, according to the non-partisan, probusiness Tax Foundation.

The Tax Policy Center says the marginal effective tax rate, which assesses how much the corporate tax reduces the rate of return on new investment, is “the best measure of how taxes affect a firm’s incentive to invest.”

The U.S. marginal effective tax rate is 35.3%, according to a Tax Foundation analysis. That puts the USA in sixth place.

IN BRIEF SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM ENDORSES JEB BUSH

South Carolina senator and former presidential candidate Lindsey Graham endorsed Jeb Bush for the Republican nomination on Friday, saying the former Florida governor would make the best commander in chief in a time of war against terrorism.

“He has the ability to bring the world on board,” Graham said at a news conference in North Charleston, S.C. Welcoming the support in a key GOP primary state, Bush called Graham a “patriot” who is committed to rebuilding the U.S. military for the battle against radical Islam.

Graham made national security and the fight against the Islamic State his major campaign themes, but could never gain traction in the crowded GOP field. He dropped out of the race last month.

KIDS CARRY ON THE DREAM

AT LEAST 20 REPORTED DEAD IN BURKINA FASO VIOLENCE

CHIP SOMODEVILLA, GETTY IMAGES

Children, adults and tourists gather at the base of the Lincoln Memorial to sing civil rights-era songs and to hear fifth-graders recite Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. for survivors Friday after two Marine Corps helicopters carrying 12 people collided off the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

There was no immediate word on the fate of the crewmembers of the two heavy-lift transport helicopters or the cause.

In their initial survey of the

area, searchers spotted a fire, a debris field and an empty life raft 21⁄2 miles off the coast, but no sign of survivors.

Search-and-rescue operations were underway in areas with a high surf advisory, including probable 10-foot waves, Honolulu’s KHON-TV reported.

Gunfire and explosions were reported Friday in Burkina Faso’s capital just weeks after the newly elected president of the West African nation took office. Agence France Presse tweeted that at least 20 are dead.

One or more cars were also on fire outside the upscale Splendid Hotel frequented by westerners and United Nations staff in central Ouagadougou. There were also multiple reports of gunmen entering the building and hostages being taken.

The local al-Qaida affiliate known as AQIM claimed responsibility online as the attack was ongoing in Ouagadougou, according to the SITE Intelligence Group.

The U.S. Embassy in Ouagadougou said on Twitter that it is “closely following the situation.”

RETAIL SALES END 2015 ON A WEAK NOTE Retail sales dipped last month on low gasoline prices and a slowdown in auto sales, and a key measure was flat despite strong job growth. Sales fell 0.1%, the Commerce Department said Friday, in line with economists’ estimates. Excluding volatile autos and gasoline, sales were unchanged. Economists expected a 0.4% rise. Analysts expected a better showing in part because the economy added an impressive 292,000 jobs in December, boosting incomes and purchasing power.

Among the giants, Apple erases more than $200 billion Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

The stock market rout is starting to get really expensive — destroying $2.3 trillion from the market’s top last year and $1.5 trillion in net wealth this year.

The giant companies that predominantly populate the Standard & Poor’s 500 have fallen an average of 8.9% this year — which, when translated into dollars, is real money. Real big money. The S&P 500 is down 8% this year already — including an additional 2.2% Friday — in what’s been one of the worst starts to a year. Since the market peak on May 21, 2015, the market has declined 11.7%.

The biggest wealth destroyers in the S&P 500 from the high have been gadget maker Apple, pipeline company Kinder Morgan and corporate software company Oracle — crushing $218 billion, $63.5 billion and $49.8 billion in market value, respectively, from the top on May 21, 2015.

This year, most of the money is being shredded by the giant companies that many U.S. investors loaded up on during the bull market, including gadget maker Apple, online retailer Amazon.com and online advertising firm Alphabet.

When it comes to destroying market value, Apple is in a class of its own. The company has erased a staggering $44.7 billion in investor wealth this year after its 7.7% decline to close Friday at $97.05 a share. More than $200 billion in market value has been erased by this one stock from the market high — which is more than a vast majority of big companies are worth.

Red-hot retailer Amazon is down a whopping 16% this year — after more than doubling in value in 2015. That means investors in Amazon are down $49 billion this year. Google’s parent, Alphabet, is also taking the shredder to investors’ money — cutting its market value 8.8% this year by $47.2 billion.

When you see how much money is being erased by the biggest companies — you can see why this sell-off is getting uncomfortable ... and expensive.

Key tech stocks tumble, raising concerns about 2016 Marco della Cava, Jon Swartz and Elizabeth Weise USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO The tech stock favorites that buoyed the stock market last year fell sharply Friday, intensifying speculation that 2016 could be a vastly different year for Silicon Valley giants and start-ups alike.

So-called FANG stocks — Facebook (FB), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX) and the company formerly known as Google, now Alphabet (GOOGL) — closed 2%-4% lower. These had been some of the strongest stocks in a largely flat market in 2015, when both Netflix and Amazon more than doubled in value.

Tech stocks “were market leaders going up, and they’re going to be market leaders going down,” said Michael Yoshikami, CEO and founder of Destination Wealth Management.

“There are concerns that the economy is slowing down, given what’s happening in China,

and that’s going to impact overall global growth,” he said. To continue expanding, tech stocks need worldwide growth, which seems to be faltering.

This month, Forrester Research predicted continued but slowing growth of 4.5% to 4.7% for global tech in 2016, slightly lower than the firm’s 5.6% projection in August, as growth in Europe, Brazil, China and the Middle East weakened.

Friday’s session was the worse for companies with doubts hanging over their business.

Chipmakers Intel (INTC) and AMD (AMD), undercut by disappointment over Intel’s earnings report late Thursday, lost 9% and 8%, respectively.

GoPro (GPRO), which said it was eliminating jobs this week, shed 8% — bringing its year-todate pummeling to 36%.

The Nasdaq Composite Index, a benchmark for high momentum growth stocks such as Netflix, ended down 2.7%, off 14% from its 52-week high and further into correction territory. Apple AAPL, has lost 28% since its high last year.

Chipotle to take timeout for food safety All-staff meeting set Feb. 8 to cover issues linked to illnesses Kevin McCoy and Katharine Lackey USA TODAY

Embattled fast-casual restaurant chain Chipotle Mexican Grill will close all of its eateries nationwide for a few hours during the morning of Feb. 8 for an all-staff meeting on food safety.

Conducted via live satellite, the session will feature Chipotle officials thanking the company’s roughly 60,000 staffers for their efforts to address recent foodbourne illness issues that arose among some customers in the Western U.S. and in the Boston area.

Outlining the plan during a Wednesday investor conference in Florida, company executives

JOE RAEDLE

Among company-wide food safety measures being taken by Chipotle is central kitchen processing of tomatoes and lettuce. said the meeting would also include a discussion of new safety measures implemented by the Denver-based company famed for serving fresh food and ingredients.

Employees will also get an opportunity to ask questions and voice any concerns.

“We’re going to let all of our folks know about how this happened, and, in detail, all the steps that we’re taking to ensure that it won’t happen again,” Chipotle

founder and co-CEO Steve Ells said at the conference.

The meeting and separate marketing outreach plan follow multiple health incidents that sickened customers, forced a shutdown of some restaurants and sent sales plunging.

More than 120 Boston College students contracted a norovirus, a contagious gastrointestinal illness, after eating at a nearby Chipotle last month.

The incident occurred as Chi-

potle dealt with dozens of cases of E. coli at locations in nine states.

Chipotle is also the subject of a federal criminal investigation over a norovirus incident at a Simi Valley, Calif. location in August. The company said it is cooperating with the investigation.

The company has not announced the cause of the sickness incidents. Last week, Chipotle said sales at stores open at least a year dropped 30% in December.

The all-staff meeting is aimed in part to update staffers on new measures being instituted company-wide.

For example, tomatoes and lettuce that could have potentially dangerous bacteria from growing fields will be washed and processed in a central kitchen with “high-resolution” testing equipment, Chipotle officials said.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch

By Matt Krantz USA TODAY

Investors will see next week whether corporate earnings can be the medicine the market needs — or actually make it worse.

More than 40 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 are expected to report next week, including several banks, Netflix (NFLX) and International Business Machines (IBM), S&P Capital IQ says. These early reports will take on great importance as investors look for any signs of a global economic slowdown, which is hinted at by the decline in stock prices. Thirty-two companies in the S&P 500 have reported their results, and 66% have exceeded expectations.

That’s roughly in line with the historic average.

IN-DEPTH MARKETS COVERAGE USATODAY.COM/MONEY

The problem probably lies in your portfolio Q: When should I panic about stocks?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: If you panic about your stock portfolio when markets fall — the problem isn’t the market — it’s your portfolio.

Market sell-offs aren’t fun. But if you’re starting to wonder about when to freak out and sell after a big market decline, that’s a sign your portfolio is too aggressive.

Financial advisers recommend that you have a rainy day fund. This is money that can sustain you for at least three months, if not longer. Your rainy day fund should be nowhere near the stock market. If you don’t have a rainy day fund, that is something to worry about.

Before you invested, you should have had a good idea of how much market volatility you could handle.

Stocks are infamously wild. The Standard & Poor’s 500 has returned an average of 9.7% a year on average since 1928, according to Index Fund Advisors. Getting there isn’t pretty.

In any given year, there’s a very good chance stocks will be down as much as 9.2%. Especially bad years can send stocks down even more. If that’s too volatile, you need to own more bonds. It’s never a good time to panic.

Usually when you finally can’t take it anymore and sell, that was the market bottom. It’s best to have a plan ahead of time.

Market volatility offers opportunity to evaluate strategy Jamie Ebersole NerdWallet

The recent volatility in global stock markets is a reminder that stocks don’t always go up in straight lines, as most of us might wish. It doesn’t mean we’re in for another recession, let alone a depression.

Given that most of us cannot effectively time the markets, these periods of turbulence give us a great opportunity to reassess our investment goals and strategy to see whether they still make sense. With this in mind, here are

three tips I share with my clients to help them through volatility: 1. STAY THE COURSE — DON’T OVERREACT

Research shows that investors are generally not very good at predicting the highs and lows of the markets and that they are much better off in the long term by remaining invested through market cycles — riding out the ups and downs. Having a diversified portfolio is a great way to preserve wealth and should dampen volatility compared with being concentrated in any one holding.

2. CHECK YOUR STRATEGY WITH YOUR ADVISER

When markets are volatile, we see the benefits of diversification.

During the recent sell-off in stocks, bonds held up relatively well and provided a nice counterbalance. Now is a good time to sit down with your adviser to discuss your portfolio strategy to see whether it is working as expected and whether there were any surprises. Rebalancing may be required if you discover you have too much of your portfolio allocated to an individual stock or market sector that crept up on you over time.

3. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY FOR TAX-LOSS SELLING

If you have large capital gains from earlier periods, now may be the time to sell impaired investments to offset those gains and thus reduce your capital gains taxes.

Consult with your financial adviser and your accountant to make sure any sales are coordinated and executed in the most tax-efficient manner. I don’t generally recommend that clients sell investments at a loss without a good reason, so make sure you have a good reason.

Markets go up and down over time, but the long-term historical trend is always upward.

In high-volatility markets, when prices change dramatically on a day-to-day basis, it can be a great time to check in on your portfolio to make sure your strategy is working and is still aligned with your goals. If it is not, it may be time to make incremental changes to reposition your portfolio for the long term.

‘Billions’ is creatively bankrupt

OSCAR NOMINEES

Giamatti, Lewis can’t overcome show’s excesses Billions will buy you many things, but subtlety and sense clearly are not among them.

In the wake of TV multiple financial PREVIEW scandals and in the ROBERT face of concerns BIANCO about income inequality, you’d think it would be fairly easy to build a compelling drama around the battle between a charismatic, selfmade hedge-fund billionaire and a tenacious, well-connected U.S. attorney. When you hear Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti have been cast in those roles, you’d imagine Showtime’s Billions (Sunday, 10 p.m. ET/PT, eg out of four) would be set to take its place as TV’s next great prestige drama.

You’d imagine wrong. Instead, what you get is a ham-fisted, irrational, superficially stylish show that thinks it’s saying something when it’s merely bellowing and thinks it’s taking risks when it’s merely taking liberties.

Indeed, many scenes seem to exist simply to scream, ‘Look, we’re on premium cable!’ — which certainly would explain introducing us to Giamatti’s U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades while he’s being urinated on by a dominatrix.

That opener is meant to show us the duality of Rhoades, who otherwise needs to be in tight control — so tight that he prosecutes only cases he knows he can win.

Newly Oscar-nominated actress Saoirse Ronan has shopping on the brain.

Not for a designer dress for the Academy Awards (Feb. 28); her stylist is taking care of that. Instead, the best actress nominee is spending the day outfitting her New York City apartment before her Broadway debut in The Crucible, which will start rehearsals Jan. 25 (and open April 7).

“I have to go shopping. I have to kit out my new apartment,” she says by phone. “I got all the furniture, but I want to get some cushions and get a couple of throws to put on the couch — and loads of candles.”

“From one premiere to the next, it seemed to be getting the same amount of love wherever we took it.”

Saoirse Ronan and Emory Cohen star in a scene from the motion picture Brooklyn, for which Ronan got an Oscar nomination for best actress.

Saoirse Ronan attends the 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Jan. 10.

Saoirse Ronan on “Brooklyn”

It’s been a long road for Ronan, 21, who has steadily broken out of the childactor mold since her last Oscar nomination for 2007’s Atonement.

Fans might forget that Brooklyn started its trek toward Oscar at last year’s Sundance Film Festival. “To be honest, even after Sundance, we were holding our breath,”

she says. “We didn’t know how other audiences would react to it.

Then there was another six months or so before we screened it again, and things could have changed in that time. (But) from one festival to the next, and from one premiere to the next, it seemed to be getting the same amount of love wherever we took it.”

Her stylist, Elizabeth Saltzman, is crafting her Oscars look.

“She’s been sketching for the last month, but I’m so superstitious I haven’t even talked about it,” Ronan says. “I haven’t said the word ‘Oscar’ for the last year.”

The fashion aspect of awards season has been more fun than expected, Ronan allows.

“When I started working with her, I said, ‘I don’t want to wear any pink. I don’t like flowers, and I don’t like glitter.’ All she’s put me in has been pink dresses, flowery trousers, glittery jumpsuits,” Ronan laughs. “She’s the best.”

Damian Lewis brings his menacing charm to Bobby “Axe” Axelrod in Billions.

nor.) That’s why he’s unwilling to go after Bobby “Axe” Axelrod (Lewis), despite evidence of insider trading, until Bobby makes some big mistake that will shake his standing as a public hero.

Bobby’s “mistake” is buying a multimillion-dollar beachfront house. He’s warned against it by Wendy Rhoades (Maggie Siff), Chuck’s wife and Bobby’s inhouse staff shrink. But Bobby’s wife (Malin Akerman) wants it, and Bobby resents being told what not to do.

Out of some fear that we might miss the emasculation message, Billions uses Bobby’s reaction to his dog’s neutering as a motivating factor. But then this is a show that loves dog metaphors: Later, Chuck shows his disdain for those who think they’re above the law by forcing a man to pick up his dog’s droppings with his bare hands.

As he proved in Homeland and Wolf Hall, no one is better than Lewis at infusing charm, humanity and menace into characters who might otherwise be one-note reprehensible, or at forcing us to question where our loyalties should lie. Unfortunately, either he succeeds too well, or the script is too heavily stacked in his direction, because the fight between Bobby and Chuck never seems either fair or balanced.

The central problem, though, is that Billions’ read of the popular mood just seems dead wrong. The story hinges on the public turning against Bobby because of his extravagant, conspicuous spending — but how does that fit in an America where Donald Trump leads the Republican polls and Kim Kardashian is a star?

And even if you put aside all real-world thoughts and approach the story as a chess match, you’re still stuck with those moments when Billions goes too far or makes its points too strenuously.

Like its dominatrix (and like too many other excess-is-all series), it seems determined to use a cattle prod when we’d rather just eat ice cream and watch TV. Just not this.

Jayhawks looking to respond favorably after loss

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s basketball team responded to its first loss of the season by winning 13 consecutive games and ultimately moving to No. 1 in both the Associated Press and USA Today coaches polls.

It’s bounce-back time again, as the Jayhawks (142, 3-1) — who won three games at the Maui Invitational and were off and running following a 79-73 loss to Michigan State on Nov. 17 — at 1 p.m. today play host to TCU (9-7, 1-3) four days after a 74-63 setback at West Virginia.

“We’re moving on from that game.

UP NEXT We’re focusing on the next game, Who: TCU (9-7, 1-3) vs. trying to get better, lookKansas (14ing at the 2, 3-1) When: 1 p.m. tape seeing the things today we can do Where: Allen to become a Fieldhouse better team,” said KU juTV: ESPN nior guard (WOW! channels 33, Frank Mason III. 233) “Always coming off a loss we come out and give more energy, because we know what we could have done better the other night,” Mason added.

“It hurts us to see on tape the things we could have done. We could have given more effort and energy. It definitely hurts.”

The Jayhawks on Tuesday were alarmed at how easily West Virginia’s guards blazed past KU defenders on the way to the basket.

“I feel like they didn’t even shoot the ball well.

Their whole percentage the whole game was low 30s,” KU senior Jamari Traylor said of West Virginia hitting 33.3 percent of its shots in taking over sole possession of first place in the conference standings.

“We fouled them too many times. We didn’t keep them from getting to the basket. Every time they’d just drive in there. We’ve got to do a better job with that.

That’s what the point was at practice today (Thursday) was defense. We were going out there trying to lock up on defense and get it back,” Traylor added.

Mason said there were no excuses for West Virginia’s guards getting to the basket seemingly at will.

“We always want to keep the ball out of the paint,” Mason said. “Getting strong help on the defensive end, bluffing at the ball so we can discourage drives and things like that.”

Noted coach Bill Self: “We didn’t do what we were supposed to do to support the guy guarding the ball. I thought our lateral quickness was really exposed.

And so we’re going to have to get a lot better guarding the ball.

“I mean, it wasn’t like our defense — it’s just our offense was so inept. You go on the road and you play a top-10 team and you hang 49 on them the first 36 minutes of a game or 35 minutes, I mean, it doesn’t matter what you do defensively, you’re not going to win because you didn’t score the ball,” Self added.

FREE STATE PLAYERS, INCLUDING CAMERON CLARK, CENTER, GET EACH OTHER ENERGIZED before their 69-68 victory over Olathe Northwest on Friday night in Olathe.

Gudde’s shot caps FSHS comeback

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Olathe — Friday night at Olathe Northwest, Free State High’s boys basketball team spelled redemption: H-U-NT-E-R. Senior Firebirds guard Hunter Gudde, who last season missed a potential gametying layup in the final seconds of a loss to the Ravens, on Friday drove from the top of the key with the fourthquarter clock winding down on the road and scored the clinching lay-up. The shot put a buzzer-beating exclamation point on an improbable 69-68 Free State victory.

“Coach (Sam Stroh) told me before the game that I owed them one,” Gudde said after scoring 12 of his gamehigh 26 points in the fourth, helping FSHS recover from an 18-point deficit to open the quarter. “His confidence in me really made me be able to make that shot at the

end of game and just pull through.”

Last-second drama didn’t even seem like a possibility when the third quarter ended and the Ravens led, 60-42. ONW had spent most of the first 24 minutes beating up the Firebirds inside with 6-foot-7 junior Matt Vanderslice (11 points) and 6-5 sophomore Luke Waters (18 points). When those two weren’t producing in the paint, just about every player in a Ravens uniform was cashing in three-pointers, as the home team drilled 10 of 14 from downtown in the first three quarters.

“I don’t remember them missing a three the whole game,” Gudde said. “It was ridiculous out there. We couldn’t get anything to go our way, but then in the fourth quarter we finally got something to go our way.”

This was no ordinary regular-season game. For Lawrence High boys basketball players, games against Olathe East always mean a little extra.

With emotions running high and momentum swinging every minute in a matchup between two teams ranked among the top five in the state, the Lions stepped up with key plays in crunch time and earned a 69-61 victory on Friday in the Jungle.

Trailing by a point with under a minute left, LHS senior point guard Justin Roberts was fouled on a threepoint attempt and drained all three free throws.

Brou found senior forward Price Morgan for a layup for a 65-61 lead, high-stepping to mid-court out of excitement.

Nearly 30 seconds later, Morgan added a layup-andthe-foul bucket to turn the crowd’s roar into a fever pitch. Morgan, who had 17 points, let out a scream along the baseline, and senior guard Anthony Harvey flexed for the student section.

Dallas (ap) — SMU junior guard Keith Frazier, the former Dallas high school star whose name was prominent in an NCAA investigation that led to a postseason ban for the undefeated Mustangs, has decided to transfer.

Coach Larry Brown said Friday that the 2013 McDonald’s All-American “wanted a fresh start” after taking time away from the program to consider his future.

The 10th-ranked Mustangs (16-0) are the only remaining undefeated Div. I team, more than halfway through a schedule that can’t go beyond the regular season. SMU will miss the NCAA Tournament a year after making its first appearance since 1993.

Frazier’s online course work before he enrolled at SMU was part of an NCAA investigation that led to sanctions last fall, including Brown’s nine-game suspension to start the season.

“He told me he wanted a fresh start, and since Day One since he got here, I told him that we’ll always be there to support him,” Brown said of Frazier, who missed the past four games.

“He’s always going to be a part of our family, and whatever is best for him is best for us.”

Frazier has two options at a new school. He can play part of next season after skipping the fall semester, or he can sit out a year and play the entire 2017-18 season.

Frazier averaged 11.9 points and 4.4 rebounds in the 10 games this season. He averaged 10.5 points and 4.0 rebounds in 17 games last season before being declared academically ineligible after the winter break.

NFL PLAYOFFS

Patriots’ problems have familiar ring Foxborough, Mass. (ap) — The New England Patriots would have loved to spend the week with nothing else to worry about except today’s playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Then Pro Bowl defensive lineman Chandler Jones wandered over to the local police station, shirtless and disoriented, leaving his house reeking of burnt marijuana.

Suddenly, the defending Super Bowl champions were back on defense.

Fortunately, they’re pretty good at it.

“I mean, are there any more questions about the Chiefs here?” coach Bill Belichick said on Thursday after nine straight unanswered questions about Jones’ unusual weekend. “The rest of it, I’m done talking about.

We issued a statement, that’s it.”

Jones apologized to his teammates and the New England fans on Thursday, saying he made a “pretty stupid mistake,” but he declined to elaborate on what happened.

Belichick refused to say whether Jones would be benched for fear of revealing valuable strategic information to the Chiefs.

back on track today against the Horned Frogs, who have beaten Texas in league play and lost to West Virginia, Oklahoma State and Baylor. KU is 30-6 following a conference loss in the Self era.

“They’re better this year, and they can really score the ball,” Self said of a team led by sophomore forward Vladimir Brodziansky and sophomore guard Malique Trent, who each average a team-leading 11.7 points per game for a team that averages 69.9 points per contest. Trent missed Wednesday’s 82-54 loss at Baylor because of a violation of team rules, according to the Fort Worth Star Telegram. No announcement has been made on his status for today.

“Collins (Chauncey, soph guard, 9.9 ppg) can really score. He’s kind of an instant-offense guy, and I think that it’ll be a game in which for whatever reason, we’ve played well at times against TCU but not consistently well, and they’ve done some things to kind of mess with us defensively, and certainly it’ll be a good ballgame, but you look around the league, they’re all good games right now,” Self added.

The Horned Frogs are 13-37 in road games in coach Trent Johnson’s four seasons in Fort Worth. TCU has one Big 12 road win against 28 losses under Johnson, last year’s victory at Texas Tech on Jan. 17.

“

I mean, I’ve heard of things happening, but I haven’t had any of those problems. You go play. You worry about all that, that’s not how you win the game, right?”

— Chiefs coach Any Reid, on Spygate and Deflategate room, the players said they would have no trouble putting the incident aside today. And it’s hard to doubt them, after what they have gone through over the last 12 months and beyond.

Hours after New England’s 45-7 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game last January, the team was accused of illegally deflating the footballs. Even before the league investigation that would find them guilty, the Patriots plugged up their ears and dug in their heels.

And went on to win the Super Bowl.

A season earlier, New England recorded its now-customary 12-win season, AFC East title and trip to the conference championship game despite releasing tight end Aaron Hernandez over the summer, shortly before he was charged with first-degree murder. (He was convicted in April

“I think coach Belichick does a great job of really just, like, brainwashing us,” defensive back Duron Harmon said this week. “We just try to ignore all the distractions, whether it’s that situation or ‘Deflategate,’ or any other distraction. We just try to ignore the noise.”

If Jones is benched for part of the game, the Patriots will be giving up a pass-rusher whose 121⁄2 sacks were the fifth most in the NFL this season.

The Patriots were penalized by the league in 2007 after they were caught videotaping opposing coaches’ signals, and again this offseason after an NFL investigation found they used improperly inflated footballs in the AFC title game.

Other reports have accused Belichick and his minions of rifling through the trash in the visitors’ locker room or providing opponents with warm Gatorade. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin wondered aloud why the headsets always go out when he plays in New England.

Tell each other fairy tales: This week’s game is less about the rosters than the injury reports.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski has knee and back injuries that have kept him out of practice two of three days this week. New England is also hoping to get receiver Julian Edelman and offensive lineman Sebastian Vollmer back.

The Chiefs have also had to shuffle their offensive line, with Mitch Morse and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif out with concussions. But the big question for them is whether leading receiver Jeremy Maclin will be available.

Royals sign pitcher Duffy, four others for one year

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — The Royals signed five players to one-year contracts Friday, leaving AllStar third baseman Mike Moustakas and All-Star outfielder Lorenzo Cain as their only unsigned arbitration-eligible players.

Pitcher Danny Duffy received the biggest deal at $4,225,000, plus a $50,000 bonus if he makes the All-Star team.

The left-hander made $2,425,000 last season, spending most of the year in the starting rotation before working out of the bullpen during Kansas City’s run to the World Series championship.

Duffy is expected to fill one of the starting rotation slots again this season.

Jarrod Dyson received a raise from $1,225,000 last year to $1,725,000 this season. He’s in the mix to be one of the Royals’ primary outfielders, along with Alex Gordon and Cain.

Drew Butera received a $1,162,500 contract that includes $12,000 in performance bonuses and $50,000 for an All-Star selection. Fellow backup catcher Tony Cruz, who made $775,000 with St. Louis last year, got a $975,000 contract with a $50,000 All-Star bonus after his offseason trade to Kansas City.

Left-hander Louis Coleman will make $750,000, the same as last season. The specialist reliever can also earn a $50,000 bonus for making the All-Star team.

Salary arbitration fig-

ures were exchanged on Friday. If the Royals are unable to come to terms with Moustakas and Cain, their hearings would be held in February.

Moustakas made $2.64 million last season, when he hit .284 with 22 homers and 82 RBIs en route to his first All-Star selection. But considering his status as one of the franchise’s young cornerstones, the slickfielding Moustakas is likely to get a significant raise.

Cain should also get a big bump after hitting .307 with a career-best 16 homers and 72 RBIs last season, and polishing his reputation as one of the game’s premier defensive outfielders. Cain earned $2,725,000 while also getting selected for his first All-Star game.

LHS boys CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

only game that matched the atmosphere, outside of City Showdowns, was last year’s sub-state title victory.

Every time there was a big play, there was an even bigger play on the other end. On two straight missed shots by Olathe East, the Lions grabbed a rebound and flung full-court passes to wide-open teammates. A pass from junior guard Jackson Mallory resulted in a layup by Harvey, and a pass from Roberts turned into a two-handed slam by Brou.

Olathe East, playing without senior starters Dion Union and Cedric Roland because of disciplinary reasons, responded with a layupand-the-foul bucket by senior Kameron Barnes, then five straight points for a 61-60 lead with 1:48 remaining.

That set the stage for Roberts’ free throws and steal in the final minute, giving the Lions their most emotional win of the season.

“He always steps up in the biggest moments,” Brou said of Roberts.

“There’s not a bigger moment than that.”

The Lions (9-1, ranked No. 5 in Class 6A) led by seven points midway through the second quarter before it turned into the Josiah Talbert show.

Olathe East’s 6-foot-9 senior forward scored a game-high 31 points on 12-of-15 shooting. He scored on putbacks, pickand-pops, knocked down threes and everything in between.

“Every single game that he plays against Lawrence High, he goes off on us,” Roberts said of Talbert, an AAU teammate in the summer. “I was not surprised.”

The Lions, who only committed two turnovers, trailed by six points during the third quarter when Talbert

Stroh called timeout with 7.7 seconds on the clock to draw up a play for Gudde, and reminded his go-to driver — who also missed a would-be game-winning layup in a one-point loss at St. Thomas Aquinas last season — that he owed the Ravens.

FSHS boys Stroh had one request of his team entering the final eight minutes: “Let’s win one quarter.”

The Firebirds (6-1) chipped away as Olathe Northwest went cold at the free-throw line (7-for18 in the fourth), but still trailed by 12 with 3:45 to play. An implausible rally began to pick up steam as FSHS, utilizing full-court pressure, forced ONW into a five-second violation on an in-bound play.

Shortly after, a Gudde offensive rebound — one of six for Free State in the fourth — led to a left-corner three-pointer from junior guard Shannon Cordes, pushing the visitors within single digits.

This all came about moments after Stroh thought to himself, “Do I get ’em out and just save their legs for (today, when FSHS plays Lee’s Summit North)? No, we’ve got tough kids.”

Good instincts. With less than two minutes left, backup senior forward Drew Tochtrop dove onto the floor to get a steal, setting up senior forward Chrision Wilburn (15 points) for a layup.

The next trip down the floor, Cordes tipped in his own miss to cut Northwest’s lead to five with a minute and a half remaining.

“We all kind of had the same mindset,” said Cordes, who shot 3-for6 from three-point range and scored 14 points off the bench. “We all just wanted to win and needed that win. It was all

Kansas University picked up victories in 12 events in a dominant performance at the Sunflower State Track and Field Triangular on Friday at Anschutz Pavilion.

The KU men’s and women’s teams scored a combined 254 points to beat Kansas State (234) and Wichita State (203).

Kansas had 126 points to edge WSU (110) and KSU (109) in the men’s only standings.

KU’s women had 128 points to hold off K-State (125) and WSU (93).

Six Jayhawks and a relay team produced marks that rank among the top-10 in the NCAA this season, including senior Daina Levy, who moved herself to the top of the national ranks in the weight throw.

“It’s great to come away from this meet with the team victory, but I was more pleased to see how well everyone competed today,” KU coach Stanley Redwine said. “We had people do great in every event area, so it was definitely a total team effort.

It’s great to be able to get that trophy on our home track.”

Levy, on her last throw, unleashed a personaland meet-record toss of 21.35 meters (70 feet). It’s the longest throw in the NCAA this season.

On the men’s side, Nicolai Ceban had an personal-indoor-best shot put of 19.17 meters (62-10), the third-best mark in the NCAA so far.

Defense sparks Firebirds

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Sam Goodwin/Special to the Journal-World

FREE STATE FORWARD CAMERYN THOMAS (10) SHOOTS in the Firebirds’ 65-44 victory over Olathe Northwest on Friday in Olathe.

Olathe — A dud of a first quarter didn’t keep Free State High’s girls basketball team down Friday night at Olathe Northwest.

When shots wouldn’t fall for the Firebirds early, they resolved to pick up the defensive intensity. Following sophomore point guard Cameryn Thomas’ lead, FSHS found the energy and effort to defeat the Ravens, 65-44.

Free State missed 10 of its 12 field goals in the first quarter, allowing ONW to get out to an 18-8 lead. But the home team’s success proved shortlived.

The Firebirds flipped

a switch defensively and held the Ravens to 8-for32 shooting in the final three quarters. FSHS coach Bryan Duncan said Thomas (15 points, nine rebounds) deserved much of the credit. Disappointed with the start for his team, ranked No. 7 in Class 6A, Duncan told his Firebirds (6-2): “Do what Cameryn does.”

And it worked.

“If she gets out and is pressuring the ball,” Duncan said, “everyone needs to get out and pressure the ball. She’s kind of like the quarterback of our defense, and they really feed off what she does.”

Said Thomas: “I love defense. Naturally, I just like to pressure, and the team likes to pressure, too.”

Free State began its recovery in the second quarter, when junior guard Madison Piper scored 10 of her gamehigh 25 points, and the Ravens’ fortunes headed in the opposite direction.

The Firebirds turned a three-point halftime deficit into a seven-point lead entering the fourth, then held ONW scoreless the first 5:06 of the final quarter, forcing the Ravens to miss their first eight shots on the way to 2-for-16 shooting in the period.

“When we ran our trap defense,” Thomas said, “I think that’s really what got us going. We started picking it up, and it picked up our energy, and we got a couple steals off it.”

Thomas carried Free State’s offense in the fourth quarter, scoring seven points and securing six rebounds (three on offense).

“I just want to do whatever I can for our team and bring our momentum up,” the 5-foot-7 sophomore said.

FREE STATE (65) Cameryn Thomas 6-10 3-5 15, Madison Piper 8-17 5-5 25, Hannah Walter 1-5 4-7 6, Jaelyn Two Hearts 4-11 0-0 11, Peyton Brown 0-0 1-2 1, Jaycie Bishop 1-2 0-0 3, Erin Cushing 1-2 2-4 4. Totals 21-45 15-23 65.

LHS girls fall just short

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

In the record book, Lawrence High girls basketball players suffered a 43-42 loss against Olathe East on Friday at LHS. Elsewhere, it was a positive sign. It was momentum. The Lions are hoping they can mark it down as a turning point.

Trailing by four points midway through the fourth quarter, LHS sophomore Talima Harjo decided to step up with big shot after big shot.

She scored eight straight points by knocking down two triples and hitting a baseline jumper, tying the score at 43 with 1:39 left.

Olathe East junior Cameron Kincaid

knocked down a free throw with 1:18 left for a one-point lead, and the Lions came up empty on their final two possessions: a missed shot and a turnover when sophomore E’lease Stafford fell down after catching an inbounds pass while the Hawks were trying to commit a foul.

“We took a big step tonight against an extremely good team,” LHS coach Jeff Dickson said.

“Obviously a close game, you can nitpick certain things, but second half, that’s the best defense we’ve played since I’ve been here. Those kids sold out, played hard and played fundamentally sound. Shot the ball with confidence.”

Harjo, who played for the junior-varsity team earlier in the afternoon, is usually known as a strong on-ball defender and for her energy off of the bench. Along with her scoring spree in the fourth quarter, she forced a turnover by deflecting a pass with a minute left.

Dickson said he hopes she can use it as her breakout moment for the rest of the season.

“I had a lot of excitement,” said Harjo, who scored 11 points. “In my head, I was, like, ‘Oh, good job,’ and cheering.

But on the outside, I had to keep my cool.”

After trailing by eight points at halftime, the Lions (4-6, 0-4 Sunflower League) went on a 8-3 run

over the first five minutes of the third quarter.

Defensively, they went through ball screens, and sophomore guard Skylar Drum, the team’s best defender, held Olathe East junior Caroline Hoppock scoreless in the second half.

OLATHE EAST (44) Katie Gleason 2-9 1-1 5, Caroline Hoppock 4-6 4-5 15, Sydney Wilson 4-8 0-0 10, Cameron Kincaid 1-4 3-4 5, Regan Schumacher 1-7 2-7 4, Jordan Rehagen 2-4 0-0 5, Emily Jasnoski 0-1 0-0 0. Totals 14-39 10-17 44.
