Regents OK new guns-on-campus policy “

By Sara Shepherd

Twitter: @saramarieshep

Topeka — The Kansas Board of Regents updated its weapons policy Wednesday to comply with a state law requiring universities to allow concealed carry of guns on their campuses starting July 2017.

Now, it’s up to each of the six state universities to develop policies outlining how the controversial law will be implemented on their specific campuses.

Board of Regents chairman Shane Bangerter said the state law doesn’t leave a lot of leeway when it comes to

implementation — it’s very clear that lawful concealed carry must be allowed.

However, under the new Regents policy schools will have control over which, if any, of their buildings and events to equip with adequate security measures.

Universities can legally prohibit guns from buildings and events with security measures such as metal detectors or guards in place.

Statistics indicate that only a small percentage of the population carries concealed guns, Bangerter said, so he doesn’t think universities will actually see much of a difference after July 2017.

I think there will continue to be efforts on the campus to look for ways to work with the Legislature over time.”

— Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little

“This law isn’t going to change anything a whole lot one way or the other,” he said. “How much time and energy do you want to spend on it, and how much money?”

Each university will have to weigh that for itself, he said.

Bangerter said the Regents policy aims to provide “common sense” guidance for implementing the Personal and Family Protection Act on college campuses, which have had an exemption since 2013 that will expire in 2017. The policy requires each university to: l Create policies and procedures for the “safe possession and storage of lawfully possessed handguns.”

Those must include directions for reporting policy violations, how the university will educate students and employees about the policy, Please see GUNS, page 2A

Death penalty rulings wrong, Supreme Court tells Kansas Justices rule in favor of state officials seeking to put murderers to death

By Sam Hananel Associated Press

Washington — The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled in favor of Kansas officials seeking to reinstate the death penalty for three men, including two brothers convicted in a crime spree known as the “Wichita massacre.”

The justices ruled 8-1 that the Kansas Supreme Court J. Carr was wrong to overturn the sentences of Jonathan and Reginald Carr, and Sidney Gleason, who was convicted in a separate case.

The state court said juries in both cases should have been told that evidence of the men’s troubled childhoods and other factors R. Carr weighing against a death sentence did not have to be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. The lower court also had ruled that the Carr brothers should have had separate sentencing hearings instead of a joint one.

The Supreme Court said the Kansas court’s reasoning was flawed on both counts. Gleason Writing for the court, Justice Antonin Scalia said there is no requirement to tell jurors in a death sentence case that they can consider a factor favoring the defendant even if it’s not proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

Parents plead for hemp oil to treat children Council weighs possible changes House Bill 2049 includes path for to city incentives seizure sufferers

Topeka — Kiley Klug, a young mother from Odin, gave birth to a healthy baby boy eight years ago following a normal pregnancy.

“Out of nowhere at 6 months of age, Owen began having seizures.

the city needs to provide in order to be competitive in getting companies to locate in Lawrence.

“It will be interesting to know what we’re competing with and knowing, if we really are competing with other communities in this region, what is it that they’re doing that we’re going to lose to if we don’t do it as well,” said Jason Edmonds, who is on the Chamber of commerce’s board of directors. “At least we could know, if we want to be competitive with them, what we need to do.”

In a study session Jan. 12, city commissioners proposed a number of changes to the city’s policies governing incentives, including scaling back the cap on the amount of property tax the city will rebate a project. A maximum suggested by Commissioner Matthew Herbert was a 50 percent, 10-year abatement.

Commissioners also suggested adding a stipulation to the issuance of industrial revenue bonds that, in order to receive them, developers have to prove they could not complete the project otherwise.

All of the commissioners agreed they wanted incentives to be used primarily with the purpose of creating permanent, fulltime jobs that offer good wages and benefits.

At the meeting of the Joint Economic Development Council on Wednesday, Brady Pollington, the economic development project manager for the Chamber, asked members to weigh in on the proposed changes.

“We haven’t been formally asked by the city to provide any opinion or guidance, but it is the purpose of the JEDC to make recommendations on economic development policies and initiatives,” Pollington said. “Now is a good time.”

Besides the council asking for more information about what the city would need in order to remain competitive in attracting businesses, council member Melissa Henderson suggested updating the policy to reflect the city’s initiative of bringing in small businesses.

In a later interview, Larry McElwain, CEO of The Chamber, said he viewed economic development incentives as “tools in the toolbox,” none of which he would want taken away.

five to 20 seizures a day.

I don’t remember the last time this child went a day without a seizure.”

Having tried many forms of traditional medications and treatments, all with limited success, the Klug’s pleaded with lawmakers to pass a bill that would let them try a less conventional form of treatment.

“Children like Owen who suffer from Dravet Syndrome have seen great success on hemp oil,” she said, citing a study by the American Epilepsy Society that showed a significant reduction in seizures

Referencing the proposed 50 percent cap on tax abatements, McElwain said there have been companies that have received more and have so far met all of their requirements set by the city.

“We’d hate for them to get rid of anything that would help attract somebody we may want,” McElwain said.

He went on to say he thought the process of reviewing the proposed changes “will work,” and that “everybody is trying to do the right thing.”

Britt Crum-Cano, the city’s economic development coordinator, explained some of the city’s incentives, saying the companies that receive them are not “digging into our pockets.”

“The thing that’s important to understand is a project has to generate money, and then it gets a portion of it back,” CrumCano said.

Crum-Cano told the group that it would have the opportunity to more formally respond in coming months, when it and other boards will be asked to fill out a matrix giving their opinions on all of the changes.

It was not yet certain when the council and other city advisory boards would be asked for their recommendations.

City Commissioners have one more week to send their ideas for changes to the incentives policies to Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard.

Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug said the City Commission’s effort to alter the incentives policies was “a healthy process.”

He suggested the Joint Economic Development Council work with the City Commission and take its opinions to commissioners about what incentives work and which ones don’t.

“You got a new City Commission, a lot of which was elected in reaction to how things had been done before,” Weinaug said.

“You will see changes that result from that. … I always see us go through a period of, ‘the sky is falling, the sky is falling,’ but it needs a review.

“What you need to say is, ‘This works well, but we need to change it this way’ and ‘This has probably outlived its usefulness,’” he added. “They will listen to you more if you realize that a review needs to take place every few years.”

among Dravet Syndrome patients who were given hemp oil as treatment.

The Klugs came to testify in favor of House Bill 2049, which contains a provision that would legalize the use of hemp oil for treatment of certain seizure disorders, despite the fact that it has not been approved for such use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

What makes the bill controversial, though, is that hemp oil is derived from cannabis, the same plants that produce marijuana, although the oil used for medicinal treatment is not intoxicating because it contains only trace amounts of THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana.

“Jurors were told to consider any mitigating circumstance, even those not found to exist by other members of the jury,” Scalia said. “Jurors would not have misunderstood these instructions to prevent their consideration of constitutionally relevant evidence.”

The court also ruled that the district court was not required to hold separate a separate sentencing proceeding for each brother. Reginald Carr had argued that his sentence may have been unfairly tainted because Jonathan Carr blamed Reginald for being a bad influence during their childhoods.

“Only the most extravagant speculation would lead one to conclude that the supposedly prejudicial evidence introduced by one brother rendered the sentencing proceeding

D-Lawrence, who is sponsoring that provision, said the federal government, while not authorizing the use of hemp oil, has tacitly consented to allowing states to regulate it within their own borders.

“If states have a wellregulated medical marijuana infrastructure and process in place, then essentially they are going to stay out of the business of the state,” he said, referring to information from the Marijuana Policy Project, describing U.S. Department of Justice policy.

Tiffany Krenz, a young mother from Topeka who also has a son with Dravet Syndrome, said passage of the bill would give her family some

fundamentally unfair to the other,” Scalia said.

Scalia said jurors at the sentencing phase heard plenty of evidence “of how these defendants tortured their victims, acts of almost inconceivable cruelty and depravity described firsthand for the jury by the lone survivor.”

Prosecutors in the Carr case said the brothers were responsible for a night of mayhem and murder in 2000 when they broke into a Wichita home and, over the course of several hours, forced the three men and two women there to have sex with each other and later to withdraw money from ATMs. The women were raped repeatedly before all five were taken to a snow-covered soccer field and shot in the head. One woman survived a gunshot wound to the head after the bullet was deflected by a plastic hair clip.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor was the lone dis-

sense of hope.

“We know this is not a cure,” she said, “but the thought of not being able to try one last thing for him because of the legal status is more than heartbreaking.”

Supporters of the use of marijuana for medical purposes have pushed in the past for broader legislation that would allow smoking full-strength marijuana for treatments such as relieving nausea and other side effects of chemotherapy in cancer patients.

But lawmakers have not gone along with that, and so advocates are now hoping for passage of the much narrower hemp oil legislation.

Next steps for KU Bangerter said the board wants to have universities’ policies ready for its review by October.

At KU, the next step for administration is to gather a group of university attorneys, campus police and other relevant stakeholders to begin developing a policy, Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle said.

While some groups on the KU campus have pledged to lobby the Legislature to change the law — and Gray-Little herself has stated she personally opposes allowing guns on campus — she said that’s not the plan for university administration.

She said KU leaders must now respond to the Regents’ directive.

“I think there will continue to be efforts on the campus to look for ways to work with the Legislature over time,” GrayLittle said. “I think for the administration, what our role is at this time is to see what are the best things we can do to keep our campus safe, and comply with the law.”

Scalia called Sotomayor’s dissent “misdirected” and took a swipe at the Kansas Supreme Court, which has struck down death sentences in several other cases.

“When the Kansas Supreme Court time and again invalidates death sentences because it says the federal Constitution requires it, review by this court, far from undermining state autonomy, is the only possible way to vindicate it,” Scalia said.

Currently, first-time possession is a class A misdemeanor, and second-time possession is a Level 5 nonperson felony. The bill would reclassify those crimes to class B and class A misdemeanors, respectively.

An official from the Kansas Sentencing Commission testified in favor of that provision, saying it would eventually reduce the state’s prison population by more than 100 beds.

Accidents up after snowfall, but none serious

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Around a half an inch of snow and freezing rain fell on Lawrence between Tuesday and Wednesday, and the winter weather led to an increase in car accidents, police said.

Between Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon there were 11 car accidents within Lawrence’s city limits, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley.

Within that time, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek said, there were an additional eight weather-related

accidents just outside the city limits of Lawrence, Baldwin City and Eudora.

In addition to accidents, Dymacek said, several cars also slid off area roads but managed to avoid causing or receiving any damage.

Bradford was careful to describe his plan as a district reorganization, not a consolidation. The state forced hundreds of small school districts to consolidate in the 1960s and for many educators and legislators, the term still carries negative connotations of closing individual schools, which Bradford said he doesn’t advocate.

“If we really want to save money, we’ve got to tackle the hard issues,” Bradford said.

Both McKinley and Dymacek said no serious injuries were reported from any of the accidents.

In total, around a halfinch of freezing rain and snow fell on Lawrence between Tuesday and Wednesday, said Kyle Poage, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Topeka. Another 1 to 2 inches can be expected to fall by this evening, he added.

Temperatures are expected to hover around the 30s, so any recent snowfall likely won’t melt until the weekend when temperatures are expected to rise into the 40s, Poage said.

“And then we do have some small chances for rain and snow Sunday night and Monday,” Poage added.

place to have a business.”

Soave has been chairman and CEO of Capistrano Global Advisory Services in Overland Park, a firm he described as a “boutique” advisory services company that invests in joint ventures with other companies, including one joint venture with Disney’s Wide World of Sports.

Since being nominated

by Gov. Sam Brownback to lead the Department of Commerce, Soave said, he has focused on marketing Kansas through social

media, other marketing campaigns and a soonto-be published monthly newsletter.

He also said he wants to reassess many of the state’s incentive programs to attract businesses to Kansas to determine whether they are producing the results that were intended.

His nomination now goes to the full Senate for consideration.

Soules said the department’s crew — totaling about 40 people — pretreated the city’s roads with a salt brine before the freezing rain and snow began. That brine mixture helps break down winter precipitation that accumulates on the roadways.

Other city departments, including utilities and parks and recreation, also lend a hand clearing roads and sidewalks during times of inclement weather, Soules said.

Now that the first round of snow is over and a second is on the way, crews are keeping an eye on the weather and covering any potential problem areas with sand and salt mixes, Soules said.

“They’re out there and making sure any icy areas out there are cleared,” Soules said. “And we’re keeping watch on bridges and some of those steeper roads that have a higher percent grade so people don’t get stuck.”

There are a few precau-

tions motorists can take in winter weather, McKinley said. Everyone planning to be on the roads should allow more time to arrive at their destination and leave extra space between themselves and the vehicles in front of them.

Drivers also shouldn’t drive until their windows, mirrors and head and tail lights are fully cleared of snow and ice, McKinley said. The law requires a vehicle’s lights to be turned on whenever windshield wipers are in use.

It is also important to remember that fourwheel drive will only help a vehicle start moving on snow and ice; it doesn’t help vehicles stop any faster, McKinley said.

Dymacek added that if the weather is bad and drivers don’t need to go out, it may be best to stay inside and avoid the roads altogether.

the motion to continue his trial setting date so they would have more time to review his case, said Cheryl Wright Kunard, assistant to the Douglas County district attorney.

Long’s trial setting date is now scheduled for 1 p.m. March 9.

The Journal-World requested the arrest affidavit in Long’s case, but that request was denied by the Douglas County District Court. local school boards would remain if there were fewer or only one district.

Rep. Ed Trimmer, a Winfield Democrat on the House Education Committee, said he doesn’t think schools can run smoothly if a single superintendent in a county reports to multiple school boards. He said he believes cutting the number of districts eventually would lead to school closures.

“The only way you can get efficiency is by consolidating is if you move students and close schools,” Trimmer said.

“You have to do that, or there’s no point in doing what you do.”

three-year span.

The increases, which were approved with the commission’s consent agenda, were first brought to commissioners in December. At that time, County Administrator Craig Weinaug said the increases would allow the ambulance service to leverage as many Medicare and Medicaid dollars as possible and, therefore, help limit property tax support for the department.

In other business, the commission: l Authorized Eileen Horn, county sustainability coordinator, and Helen Schnoes, food systems coordinator, to negotiate a contract with SCALE Inc. of Virginia to conduct a countywide farmers market analysis for $47,500 in 2016. A USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program Grant of $53,650 that the county received last spring will pay for the survey. l Approved a request from Kansas University swim team coach Clark Campbell to have a Sept. 17 national collegiate championship open-water swim meet at Lone Star Lake. l Renewed an agreement with Blue Valley Public Safety to service the county’s 41 sirens and associated equipment for $29,000.

The prosecution, led by District Attorney Charles Branson, asked that Long be detained because he might be considered a danger to himself or others. Douglas County Judge James George granted Branson’s request.

Long is currently being

held without bond in the Douglas County Juvenile Detention Center.

Julie Boyle, communications director for the Lawrence School District, confirmed Long is a student in the district. He was not a student at either Lawrence High School or Free State High School, she said, noting that federal privacy laws prohibit discussing his educational record in detail.

Long’s attorneys filed

But Rep. Don Hineman, a Republican from Dighton in western Kansas, said he’s skeptical that reducing the number of districts will result in significant cost savings.

Mark Tallman, a lobbyist for the Kansas Association of School Boards, said he sees no evidence that Kansas residents are clamoring for consolidation.

“This is really going in the wrong direction,” Tallman said. “This is making the false assumption that larger bureaucratic units that are less accessible to voters are better.”

A consulting firm hired by the Legislature to find potential budget ef-

ficiencies last week recommended that districts have statewide purchasing of food, fuel, services and computer software. It also recommended having all public school employees in a single health insurance plan.

Bradford’s proposal is designed to cut administrative positions, sell off unnecessary equipment, and close and sell off administrative buildings.

Bradford said that based on a survey of districts, he believes the state could save about $170 million over 10 years.

“There are some savings, I think, that could happen,” said Sen. Tom

Arpke, a conservative Salina Republican who is chairman of a budget subcommittee on education spending. “Let’s have the discussion at least.”

Under his proposal, any county with 10,000 or fewer public school students could have only a single district. Counties with more than 10,000 students could have multiple districts, but each would have to have more than 1,500 students.

Half of the state’s 286 districts have 550 or fewer students, and 69 of them have fewer than 300.

Bradford said he’d leave it to each county to decide whether multiple elected

Compulsive talker may have hearing problems Dear Annie: I am a healthy, active, 68-yearold divorced man, still employed and productive. About a year ago, I met “Caroline,” a pleasant, generous, compatible woman, and have since enjoyed her company on a regular basis.

We spent Christmas together in Europe. It was lovely.

Unfortunately, there is one problem that drives me crazy: Caroline is a compulsive talker. It doesn’t matter if we’re in a movie theater, we’re watching a TV show or I’m trying to read the newspaper.

She just starts yakking in my ear. I try to ignore it, but she goes right on. She doesn’t get the hint that I’m not interested in chatting at that moment.

How do I tell her nicely to shut up for a while?

Dear Patient: Might Caroline have a hearing problem? Is she insecure and believes she has to fill all the silences between you? The next time she does this, you should gently hold her hand and say, “Caroline, it would be nice for us to watch this show together. Can we talk when it’s over?” If she persists, you might ask her to see her doctor to have her hearing checked. Later, when you have some peaceful time together,

‘Baskets’ is love-it or leave-it Improv classes and shows ask performers to commit to an odd situation or character for a scene.

The strange sitcom “Baskets” (9 p.m., FX, TV-MA) demands that the actors and the audience remain in the game for the long haul. If you’re up for the commitment, “Baskets” will get under your skin and leave you shaking with laughter. If not, you’re likely to bail after five minutes. Both reactions are equally valid. It’s that kind of show.

Z a c h Galifianakis stars as Chip Baskets, a grown man with a burning desire to work as a clown — a French clown, to be exact. He’s first seen flunking out of a Parisian academy in humiliating fashion. Along the way he marries Penelope (Sabina Sciubba), a French sophisticate quite blunt about the fact that she’s only in it for the green card.

They move back to Chip’s hometown of Bakersfield, Calif., where Chip gets a job working for Eddie (Ernest Adams), the sage cowboy and cheapskate in charge of the local rodeo.

After totaling his beloved French mo-ped, Chip encounters Martha (Martha Kelly), a seemingly depressed insurance adjuster with a rather obvious crush on her new client. Kelly nearly steals this deliriously silly show with her deadpan performance.

Her character also embodies the show’s strange moral: that for every loser at the lower rungs of any pecking order, there’s an even sadder person, just slightly below, besotted with hero worship.

O Another dark series that will appeal to some and leave others confused, “London Spy” (9 p.m., BBC America, TV-14) stars Ben Whishaw (“The Hour”) as Danny, a party boy at the end of his tether who strikes up a chance encounter with Alex (Edward Holcroft), a mysterious man who claims to be a brilliant mathematician and investment banker.

The unlikely couple is on the verge of the first serious love affair of their respective lives when Alex suddenly vanishes. Danny’s efforts to find him reveal that Alex is not who he claimed to be and that he has deep connections to Britain’s top espionage circles.

Relentlessly bleak and visually striking, “Spy” makes the most of inventive camerawork and closeups.

Audit overdue An audit ordered by state legislators should provide important information about the Kansas foster care and adoption system.

T

wenty years after Kansas privatized its foster care system, a review of how that system is working is overdue.

Amid various questions about how the Kansas Department for Children and Families is handling foster care and adoptions in the state, Kansas legislators last week took the prudent action of ordering an audit of those DCF services.

The audit will include a number of important questions related to how good a job DCF is doing of keeping Kansas children safe and how it handles the removal of children from their homes and their subsequent placement in the foster care system. The audit will include two questions specifically aimed at the impact of foster care and adoption privatization on Kansas children and families involved with that system and whether privatization has “significantly affected the cost of those services to the state.”

Increased efficiency and lower costs were among the selling points of the privatized system when Kansas became the first state to approve such a system in 1996. There are various ways to measure the success of that move, but one indicator is a report issued last fall showing that the number of Kansas children in the state system was at an all-time high. A number of children in the foster care system have died in the last year, and DCF and its contractors reportedly are having trouble attracting enough social workers to provided the needed services.

During an appearance before the House Committee on Children and Seniors this week. DCF Secretary Phyllis Gilmore seemed defensive about the issues covered by the audit. She told the committee that the Kansas foster care system is one of the safest in the nation, adding, “I know that’s not what’s reported.”

She also contended that “Children die, but they are not in our custody,” which seems to contradict official reports that five children in the foster care system died during fiscal year 2015 — one from maltreatment and four from other causes.

The most pointed objections from Gilmore, however, were directed at a question that wasn’t even approved for the audit: “What are the DCF’s formal policies and actual practices regarding the placement of foster care and adoptive children with same-sex couples, and how do they compare to those in other states?”

Gilmore called the question “unbelievably accusatory,” and said any questions related to same-sex couples were a potentially harmful distraction to the department.

Some Kansans would have liked to see the question on same-sex couples included in this audit, but, even if the audit doesn’t specifically address that issue, it should provide important information to state lawmakers about the overall successes and failures of the state’s foster care and adoption system.

This morning she sent in a note by one of the officers to Judge Albach asking for her release.

Her note follows: ‘Please be so kind as to overlook me this time and turn me loose. If you will oblige me so, I will pay the rest of my fine by the first of February. This is a lonesome place here by myself. If so I will never give you any more trouble as long as you are a judge. I will behave myself if you will give me a chance.’”

Bill coming due for China prosperity Washington — China produces an astonishing number of astonishing numbers, including this: In the 20th century, America made automobiles mass-consumption items, requiring prodigious road building. China, however, poured more concrete for roads and other construction between 2011 and 2013 than America did in the 20th century. This fact is emblematic of China’s remarkable success. And is related to its current difficulties, including its 2015 growth rate (6.9 percent), its slowest in 25 years.

The regime’s contract with its 1.4 billion subjects is that it will deliver prosperity and they will be obedient. Now the bill is coming due for the measures taken to produce prosperity.

In 1978, when Deng Xiaoping began the regime’s attempt to leaven Leninism with market reforms, half of the Chinese lived on less than $1 a day. In just six years, collective agriculture almost disappeared and grain production increased 34 percent, freeing people to move from the countryside to more productive urban employment.

No Westerner knows more about China’s regime and political economy than Henry Paulson, who, as CEO of Goldman Sachs, then U.S. treasury secretary and subsequently, has made more than 100 trips to China. In his book “Dealing

With China,” he writes: China consumes almost half the world’s cement, coal, iron ore and steel, and 40 percent of the aluminum and copper. Beijing has six ring roads and the seventh, under construction, will be almost 600 miles long, encompassing an area as large as Indiana.

(Washington, D.C.’s beltway is 64 miles long.) Demand for roads so exceeds supply that a 2010 traffic jam extended 62 miles and lasted 12 days.

China has six of the world’s 15 tallest buildings (America has three) and eight of the 10 tallest under construction.

members, Paulson says, “work first and foremost for the party,” which remains “the alpha and omega of political, economic and social life.” But as Paulson says, “corruption breeds where power meets opportunity.”

Because opportunity festers everywhere that the party continues to insinuate itself, inefficient allocation of resources will depress growth.

The regime is wagering that it can achieve its second-highest goal, prosperity and the geopolitical weight that can come with it, while preserving its highest priority — a Leninist one-party state acting as the vanguard of an accepting population.

But China’s per capita GDP, one-eighth that of the United States, ranks 80th in the world, barely ahead of warravaged Iraq’s.

After the U.S. opening to China, Daniel Patrick Moynihan acerbically said that many travelers to China returned more impressed by the absence of flies than by the absence of freedom. The continuing absence of the latter, illustrated by the apparent kidnapping of five Hong Kong booksellers, are not noticed by foreigners mesmerized by bullet trains. The next stage of China’s ascent will test the continuing compatibility of Leninism and dynamism.

pines. Two months after the September 2014 $25 billion IPO for the Chinese Internet company Alibaba, the world’s biggest IPO, the company had a $280 billion market capitalization, bigger than Amazon and eBay combined.

China’s prosperity has been fueled by the traditional modernization trek of people from the countryside to cities — 300 million so far, with another 300 million by 2030.

But China has also relied perilously on exports and excessive, grossly inefficient infrastructure spending to employ the former peasants and make burgeoning metropolises habitable. Just between 2010 and June 2013, local government debt alone surged 70 percent to $2.9 trillion.

What the regime calls “socialism with Chinese characteristics” is, like sauerkraut ice cream, a combination of incompatible ingredients. A senior Chinese reformer propounded the “birdcage” theory of the “socialist market economy”: The market sector should be as free to fly as a bird in a cage — the cage of a state-commanded economy.

Private enterprise, however, creates 90 percent of new jobs. By itself, the private sector, which accounts for perhaps 60 percent of China’s $10 trillion GDP, would be the world’s second biggest economy, trailing only America’s.

its water supply to the filthy Flint River. You could focus on findings that the river water contained fecal coliform bacteria. Or on the fact that chemicals used to kill said bacteria apparently created new contaminations of their own. Or on reports that much of the problem could have been avoided by adding an anti-corrosive agent to the water for about $100 a day, but the city declined.

You could fix your anger on city officials who continued to insist, long after it was obviously untrue, that the water was safe. Or on state regulators who said the same even after a group of doctors reported finding elevated levels of lead in the blood of Flint’s children.

The World Health Organization says lead poisoning in kids can lead to brain damage, shortened attention span, antisocial behavior, hypertension, and damage to the reproductive organs, among other things. The effects are irreversible.

So yes, this slow-rolling disaster offers many causes for anger. But one of them is

the very fact that it has been a slow-rolling disaster.

It is inconceivable that it would take so long for public officials to respond or media to notice if the water became unsafe in New York, Miami, Charlotte, Chicago, Atlanta or L.A. But Flint is none of those places. Rather, it is a hard-luck, hardscrabble, postindustrial wasteland, a shrinking town of 100,000 people, with a poverty rate of 41 percent and per capita income of less than $15,000. It doesn’t even have a grocery store.

In 2005, when New Orleans drowned, some of us seemed surprised that there were Americans too desperately poor to escape the path of a monster storm. There followed much media handwringing over the failure to report so fundamental a story as the continued existence of poverty.

Yet here we are over a decade later, and once again it takes a calamity to make poor people visible. We saw the same pattern in Ferguson, Mo., where it wasn’t until a teenager died and weeks of urban unrest followed that

we learned how that city was pimping its poor.

One is reminded of what happens when there’s a blackout: Windows are broken and merchandise taken. No one is surprised by this. Under cover of darkness, people are seldom their best selves. Under cover of darkness, terrible deeds are often done.

Well, news media have left the poor under cover of darkness. Our light shines on politics, the middle class, technological gimmickry and celebrity gossip, yes. But on those the Bible calls “the least of these”? Not so much. Our inattention frees politicians to ignore them as well. And all of a sudden you look up and it’s been almost two years since 100,000 people had safe water to drink and we’re just beginning to notice.

That’s unconscionable.

News media’s mission, it is often said, is to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted. Where the plight of the nation’s poor is concerned, we seem to have failed on both counts.

MARKET TURMOIL

FEAR SOARS AS STOCKS STALL Wall Street searches for signs this is final washout Adam Shell USA TODAY

First came the Dow’s 565point free fall Wednesday. Then came the rebound rally that trimmed the loss for the day to 249 points, which Wall Street hopes was the final washout that often signals the end of stock market pain.

Indeed, the relentless selling early in the new year had panicky investors running Wednesday: uAt one point Wednesday, the Dow Jones industrials were down more than 565 points — and off nearly 2,000 points in the first 12 trading days of 2016. The Dow closed down 249 points. uThe VIX, a Wall Street “fear gauge,” jumped as much as 23%, to its highest level since the last big stock swoon in August.

uThe government bond market saw a torrent of cash pour in, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield below 2% to a three-month low.

Was Wednesday the final capitulation, or selling climax, that Wall Street pros say normally accompanies a short-term market bottom after days of brutal selling? It’s still too early to say the market has hit rock bottom, but there are signs panic selling is leading a stampede out of the market that will eventually clear the way for a recovery.

“We are probably washed out for now, but nothing is 100%,” says Gary Kaltbaum, president of money-management firm Kaltbaum Capital Management.

Wednesday had “the feel of capitulation,” Andrew Adams, a stock research associate at Ray-

mond James, told clients in a report. He compared the plunge and rebound to the market’s turnaround in August after the Dow briefly tumbled more than 1,000 points in a single session, setting up a rebound.

“This is selling adding to selling,” says Tom Lee, founder of investment research firm Fundstrat Global Advisors.

The market is starting to price in a lot of bad potential outcomes such as a recession or some financial crisis. Investors fear central banks can no longer dampen volatility and backstop the market.

The difficult part is trying to determine whether the fallout from plunging oil prices and a slowdown in China will cause a global

Dow Jones industrial average recession and drag down the USA. Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets, who says the long-term bull is intact, debunks the bears’ biggest argument: “This is definitely not a financial crisis.”

Be prepared for a violent upswing when stocks turn up, says Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial. “Expect buying, when it happens, to be swift as well.”

Oil decline saps former Texas boomtowns Price plummet drags down business

Rick Jervis USA TODAY

PEARSALL , TEXAS

Back when the oil money flowed, the Location 581 Saloon would be crammed with pipefitters, welders, derrick hands, truck drivers and all sorts of oilfield workers — as many as 35 of them a night together shelling out more than $2,000 for drinks and good times.

These days, the bar in this

South Texas city 50 miles southwest of San Antonio sits mostly empty, except for a few locals. On a recent early evening, three clients sat at the bar. Only two were drinking.

“It’s just like a ghost town again,” said Troy Reeves, the bar’s owner.

Pearsall, like other towns that sit atop of the Eagle Ford Shale and soared during the recent oil boom, has had a harrowing crash back to Earth, as the price of

crude has plummeted. Wednesday, the price of West Texas Intermediate dipped below $27 a barrel — a 12-year low. Eighteen months ago, the crude traded for more than $100 a barrel.

At the height of the Texas oil boom, Troy Reeves used profits from his oil and gas service company to open a bar in Pearsall, Texas.

Airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq and Syria have killed more than 6,400 Islamic State fighters in the past three months, and the militant group is showing the effect of the losses, according to coalition military statistics.

Casualty counts have not been a reliable measure of success against the Islamic State in the past because it replaced fallen fighters with new recruits. But as offensives by Iraqi troops reclaim territory from the radical group, the Islamic State loses its ability to conscript fighters from areas it controlled, which had been the major source of new troops.

U.S. commanders said the combination of airstrikes and Iraqi ground offensives weakened the terror group in Iraq and Syria and hurt its morale.

Smoke rises from U.S. airstrikes against Islamic State fighters in the city of Ramadi, Iraq, on Nov. 20.

“We are noticing they are not quite the same skill level that they once were,” Lt. Gen. Sean MacFarland, the top coalition commander, said in an interview.

“Maybe they’re having trouble replacing quality with quality.”

Defections appear to be increasing, and the group’s ability to mount offensives has waned, MacFarland said. “We take that as a positive indicator that we’re

starting to hit them where it hurts,” he said.

The casualty statistics suggest that the air campaign has become more lethal as U.S.-backed Iraqi ground forces have grown more aggressive, and coordination with coalition teams conducting the airstrikes has improved.

The statistics show that the airstrikes have killed nearly 500 fighters a week on average over

the past three months. More than 25,000 fighters have been killed by coalition airstrikes since the bombing campaign began nearly 18 months ago, soon after the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, seized large portions of Iraq.

The U.S. military estimates that the extremist group has 20,000 to 30,000 fighters in Iraq and Syria but acknowledges the numbers are rough.

Ground operations have forced militants into the open as they try to defend their positions, making them vulnerable to air attack. “They’re flushing them out,” MacFarland said.

Iraq’s military recently captured the city of Ramadi after a six-month-long siege.

In a single week in late December, airstrikes killed 1,036 fighters, the statistics show. The statistics do not include fighters killed by Iraqi ground forces or U.S.-backed rebel groups fighting the militants in war-torn Syria, where the Islamic State is headquartered. The death counts are estimated primarily from air surveillance.

Scientists spy signs of ninth planet in solar system No. 9 could be 10 times size of Earth Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

The image of our solar system may soon undergo a radical makeover.

Scientists revealed evidence Wednesday of a planet five to 10 times more massive than Earth and at least 200 times farther from the sun. If the new planet is confirmed, it would raise the solar system’s planet tally from

eight to nine. It also would verify the presence of a world in the coldest, most remote reaches of the solar system.

“This is the first serious claim for the existence of an additional planet in the solar system,” said planetary scientist Alessandro Morbidelli of France’s Observatory of the Cote d’Azur, who was not involved with the study.

Other researchers said the existence of “Planet Nine” needs to be confirmed. Experts said the study contains the most convincing evidence yet. “We tried hard ourselves to prove that we were wrong,” study co-author Mike

R. HURT, CALTECH

The planet could be gaseous, similar to Uranus and Neptune.

Brown of Caltech said. “We couldn’t do it, but I hope people are sharpening their pencils.”

If Planet Nine is the real deal, it would be one of the most deli-

cious ironies in recent scientific history. Until now, Brown has been best known as the man who killed Pluto. Brown’s discovery a decade ago of an icy body called Eris — roughly the size of Pluto but much farther from the sun — helped goad astronomers into demoting Pluto to “dwarf planet,” a decision that shrank the solar system from nine planets to eight.

“OK, OK, I am now willing to admit: I DO believe that the solar system has nine planets,” Brown tweeted Wednesday from his account @plutokiller.

Brown and his Caltech colleague Konstantin Batygin base

their argument on an analysis of a handful of distant worlds orbiting the sun far beyond the orbit of Neptune, the farthest true planet.

Six of these small objects have orbits that are, against the odds, all aligned at one end. Their paths also are tilted in the same way compared with the eight bona fide planets.

That suggested some large object exerts its powers over the outer solar system. Analysis of other small worlds beyond Neptune showed they, too, seemed to be under the influence of a massive planet, the scientists reported in The Astronomical Journal.

VOICES

Hey America, you can have Ted Cruz So, we’re sorry, America. Canada had its own Ted Cruz and overwhelmingly voted him out of office.

Adam Kovac

Special for USA TODAY

In Canada, we have a strange tendency to watch American politics almost as closely as we do our own.

Part of it is access — depending on your television package, you can be more likely to get Fox News and CNN than our own 24-hour news channels. Another part is entertainment — as handsome as our prime minister, Justin Trudeau, is, he lacks the showmanship of a Donald Trump.

There’s also that fabled Canadian inferiority complex, wherein we crave connection to our larger, more powerful neighbor to the south.

When the allegations that Barack Obama was actually a Muslim from Kenya first got tossed around, we watched with a chuckle mixed with horror. In a time when each election seems absolutely pivotal, this is what our closest ally and largest trading partner is choosing to focus on?

So when the possibility of Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz being as Canadian as MONTREAL

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, of Texas, speaks to guests at the 2016 South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention on Saturday in Myrtle Beach. poutine, Wayne Gretzky and socialized health care emerged, our desire to be noticed collided with an even stronger desire to have absolutely nothing to do with this situation. Basically, our collective response has been,“Hey, keep us out of this. We don’t want any trouble.”

It’s not that we don’t enjoy Canadians being in the American

spotlight. Success in the U.S. is seen as an acknowledgment of talent no matter the industry.

Alex Trebek would much rather be hosting Jeopardy! than our very own Reach for the Top. Celine Dion was once a simple Quebecois girl singing French ballads; it was only when she began wailing about her heart going on and became a big star in

the U.S. that she turned into as beloved a Canadian songbird as Anne Murray, who herself had some pretty notable hits with the Yanks.

Yet there has been little to no effort to claim Cruz as a native Northerner.

Perhaps it’s because he was so eager to distance himself from what was once his home and native land. Sure, we like it when one of our own scales to great heights among the Americans, but only if they remember and acknowledge where they came from.

Neil Young can still be reached for comments on Canadian elections, and even Carly Rae Jepsen can be counted on to return as a halftime performer at the Grey Cup (it’s like the Super Bowl, but with a longer field and worse commercials). But it sounded like Cruz was almost gleeful when a spokesman announced it “makes sense he should be only an American citizen” upon the senator renouncing his citizen-

ship. That goes against the multiculturalism upon which Canada so stereotypically prides itself.

You can get a good feel for Canada’s feeling for Cruz by looking at the result of our own federal election in October. Trudeau’s Liberals, running on a platform of weed legalization, sanctuary for Syrian refugees and deficit spending to get Canada through tough economic times, won a resounding victory.

The loser was Stephen Harper, a Calgary-born, right-wing, evangelical Christian who promised more bombing runs against the Islamic State, more closely monitored borders, fewer obligations to international climate-change agreements and smaller government in general.

Sound familiar?

So, we’re sorry, America. Canada had its own Ted Cruz and overwhelmingly voted him out of office. We’re sorry that we don’t want to take in another.

Well, actually. Let’s reconsider.

Harper’s Conservative Party is still looking for a new leader.

With our notorious politeness, we’re horrified at Justin Bieber being our current preeminent cultural ambassador to the world.

How about it, America?

Sounds like a fair trade to me.

D.C. dysfunction gives rise to outsiders NOW PLAYING AT USATODAY.COM

See the entire interview with former senators Daschle and Lott.

Trent Lott was the Senate Republican leader from 1996 to 2003. Tom Daschle was the Senate Democratic leader from 1995 to 2005. Together, they dealt with divisive issues from President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial to the authorization for the Iraq War. Now they’ve co-authored a new book, Crisis Point: Why We Must — and How We Can — Overcome Our Broken Politics in Washington and Across America, published by Bloomsbury Press. They propose specific remedies, from changing filibuster rules to shortening the length of elections. Questions and answers have been edited for length and clarity.

Q: Hasn’t American politics always been a combat sport?

Daschle: Politics has never been for the thin-skinned. But I think at the same time, even though we’ve gone through difficult times, through good leadership, through the need and the recognition to cooperate and to find the chemistry required to move forward, we’ve risen to the occasion. What we’re worried about now is our inability to rise to the occasion, to find that chemistry between Republicans and Democrats that allows us to reach the common ground so necessary to move this country forward.

Lott: This is different from what we have at least personally

Former senators Trent Lott, left, and Tom Daschle have co-written Crisis Point: Why We Must — and How We Can — Overcome Our Broken Politics in Washington and Across America. witnessed. It has gotten much more consuming, much more dysfunctional.

Q: Americans are pretty fed up with their politics. Does that account for the rise of outsider candidates — Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders — in the presidential race?

Daschle: I think it does. We’ve so bashed Washington for so long.

Washington has been a real piñata and I think as a result people

have a very low impression of anything Washington-related. So that opens up the opportunities for people outside of Washington to say, I’m not Washington, vote for me. ...

Just as you wouldn’t trust a doctor who’s never had any experience in a heart transplant to do something with your heart, I really wonder if we want somebody who has had no experience in government to run a country as

sophisticated with the incredible challenges we have today. ... Do we really want somebody with zero experience who claims not to be from Washington with that enormous responsibility?

Lott: I don’t think you can come to Washington and get the job done if you haven’t had experience as an elected official and understand how Washington works, understand the legislative process.

Money faded as fast as it came v CONTINUED FROM 1B

than towns of the Eagle Ford Shale, which saw ranchers turned billionaires overnight through mineral rights and city budgets swell with renewed oil revenue as the boom ignited around 2008.

Residents have been dealing with the downturn for nearly a year. The steady march of declining prices — with no end in sight — and recent news that lifting of sanctions on Iran could deliver even more oil to the market has nudged the outlook in South Texas from depressed to near desperate.

The number of active oil and gas drilling rigs in the Eagle Ford Shale has shrunk from 259 at the boom’s peak in 2012 to 68 today, according to oil field services firm Baker Hughes.

“Blood in the streets,” said David Martin Philips, a Karnes City investor who used his royalty checks from the oil companies to buy seven radio stations in the area. Not everyone diversified as smartly, he said.

Those who put their money in hotels and RV parks to house the deluge of oilfield workers that came during the boom lost money fast as those workers were let go, Philips said. “Those people are sweating bullets right now,” he said. “There’s a tremendous amount of bankruptcies about to take place.”

Ironically, Eagle Ford Shale’s success and the technology used to unlock millions of barrels of oil stuck in previously unreachable crevices contributed to the oil glut and low prices. Other factors include China’s faltering economy, Saudi Arabia’s unwillingness to scale back its own production and overall weaker global demand.

Texas has experienced oil busts before, most memorably in the mid-1980s, when crude fell to less than $10 a barrel and bankrupted towns across the state. This one feels similar to that bust in its length and global impact, said Scott Tinker, director of the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas-Austin.

But I do think elected officials and people who care about our country better stop and think about what’s happening here. The people are telling us something.

They are frustrated. They are angry. I think part of that is because there’s nobody really putting out a positive message.

Q: If Trump is the Republican nominee, would you vote for him?

Lott: I probably would. I just don’t see right now anybody on the Democratic side I could vote for. I’d have to really struggle with that and try to figure out how we would make that work.

Daschle: There are things that have to be changed. People are responding to the dysfunction.

They want to see Washington work. We’ve brought this on to a certain extent ourselves.

Q: Any glimmers of hope?

Daschle: When I talk to young people, I’m still impressed with the degree to which they want to be involved.

Lott: I get a little nervous sometimes about the so-called Millennials. They wear their caps backwards. They wear their pants down to their ankles. ... Then I go back to my alma mater and talk to these students. ... I am overwhelmingly impressed — their interest, their desire and their attitude. So there’s hope out there. This is America. We can fix this.

“Those people are sweating bullets right now. There’s a tremendous amount of bankruptcies about to take place.”

An oil pump works Tuesday in Sweetwater, Texas, while global oil prices continue to plunge.

“This one is deeper and longer than the other ones in 1999, 2007, 2009,” he said. “And we haven’t seen signs of the bottom yet.”

Some towns anticipated the downturn. In Cotulla, which saw a boom of hotels and revenue, city officials made sure to pay off debts on new projects and not overextend their budgets, city administrator Javier Dovalina said.

A $1 million loan for a new convention center, for example, was paid off in two payments with their new oil money, he said.

Though down, Cotulla’s revenue is still way up. The city’s annual hotel/motel tax revenue soared from $44,000 a year in

2008 to $1 million at the peak of the boom before settling to almost $800,000 this fiscal year, he said. Similarly, sales tax revenue climbed from $440,000 in 2008 to $3.2 million at the peak to about $2 million today.

“We may have plateaued, and we may be there for a while,” Dovalina said. “But it’s a comfortable plateau.”

In Pearsall, city officials watched in alarm as oilfield workers streamed out of town and the sales tax sank 30%, City Councilman James Leal said. Hordes of workers left Pearsall to seek jobs as construction workers or office clerks in San Antonio, emptying

the city’s bars, restaurants and hotels, he said. “We just hope it goes back up,” Leal said of the price of oil. “And sooner rather than later.”

Reeves, the bar owner, moved his oil and gas service company from Shreveport, La., to Pearsall during the recent boom. Business was so robust, he hired three dozen employees for the service company and opened the Location 581 Saloon with his wife.

As of last year, he had let go 35 workers at the service company, leaving him with a skeleton crew of eight. The bar limps along on the business of a handful of locals, but he’s not sure how long that will last, either.

“No one expected it this soon,” Reeves said of the decline. “All everyone heard then was, ‘10-15 years — boom — boom — boom.’

It made it to about six.”

High court rules 6-3 payoffs don’t end class-action suits Richard Wolf USA TODAY

FAILURE TO TRACK FOREIGN VISITORS RILES CONGRESS JOE RAEDLE, GETTY IMAGES

The Supreme Court dealt a rare setback Wednesday to companies trying to avoid potentially expensive class-action lawsuits.

The justices ruled that offers of full compensation in such a case do not automatically end the legal challenge. The 6-3 decision was written by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“An unaccepted settlement offer, like other unaccepted contract offers, creates no lasting right or obligation,” Ginsburg said.

The case was among several on the court’s docket this term that could lead to more or fewer classaction lawsuits. It involved an unsolicited text message sent by a Navy recruiting contractor in apparent violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Other cases argued in the fall test whether class-action lawsuits can be based on violations of law rather than actual injuries, and whether those injuries can be based on statistical averages.

When 40-year-old José Gomez received the recruitment offer, he sued the contractor, CampbellEwald Co., personally and as the potential leader of a class action.

Rather than face a potentially large group of cellphone users, the company offered Gomez $1,503 in damages for each unauthorized text.

WASHINGTON

The justices ruled that offers of full compensation to the lead plaintiff in such a case do not automatically end the legal challenge.

That’s the type of deal judges love and lawyers hate; it clears dockets but wipes potentially lucrative lawsuits from the books.

In this case, Gomez didn’t take the bait. A federal district judge ruled that the offer ended the case, but an appeals court reversed the judgment.

Five justices signed on to Ginsburg’s ruling. A sixth, Justice Clarence Thomas, concurred but on different grounds; he said the lawsuit remains alive because the company merely offered to pay but never made payment.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the main dissent, arguing that the company’s offer to Gomez should end the lawsuit.

In a rare scene of bipartisan agreement in Congress, senators from both parties hammered Department of Homeland Security officials Wednesday over their inability to create a program to accurately track all foreign visitors who leave the country.

The hearing came a day after the department released the first report on the number of foreigners who legally enter the USA and are suspected of staying in the country after their visas expired.

That number totaled 482,781 in 2015, a fraction of nearly 45 million legal foreign visitors last year.

The department compiled that data largely using plane manifests and other information shared by airlines. Since 2004, the department has been required by Congress to capture biometric information, such as fingerprints or iris scans, from every passenger leaving the country. The department has tested out different pilot programs but cannot say when it will be able to start capturing that information for all departing passengers.

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., pointed out the multiple laws passed by Congress over two decades that order the department to complete the program. Sen.

Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said NASA was able to get a man on the moon in less time. An exasperated Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, asked whether such a program might be completed in his lifetime.

“Yes, I expect that we will,” said John Wagner, deputy assistant commissioner at Customs and Border Protection.

Homeland Security officials said they’ve been working on a solution but have been unable to complete it because of the way U.S. ports of entry are designed.

In Europe, many airports have separate areas for domestic and international flights. Foreigners entering U.S. airports are funneled through Customs checkpoints, but departing flights leave from all terminals and all gates.

If the biometric data are collected when passengers check in for their flight at an airport terminal, passengers can simply submit their fingerprints, check in for their flights, then walk out of the airport. Their records would indicate they left, but they actually remain in the country.

Wagner said the agency tested out a plan in which Customs officers used hand-held devices to gather biometric information as people boarded a plane. He said that would lead to unreasonable delays for all flights and could cost more than $1 billion to hire enough Customs officers to handle each outbound flight.

Taliban raid kills 21 at Pakistan college Naila Inayat

Rescue workers take a man to the hospital after Wednesday’s attack by militants at Bacha Khan University in Charsadda, Pakistan.

Special for USA TODAY LAHORE , PAKISTAN At least 21 people are dead and several others wounded after Taliban gunmen climbed over the wall into a university in northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday and began firing indiscriminately, according to witnesses and Pakistani officials.

At least four gunmen were killed.

The attack, which included explosions, broke out as about 600 people were attending a poetry recital at Bacha Khan University, serving 3,000 students in Charsadda, near the city of Peshawar.

Regional Police Chief Saeed Wazir put the death toll at 21.

Army spokesman Lt. Gen. Asim Bajwa said on Twitter that four attackers were killed.

The attack erupted in the same

province as the 2014 Peshawar school attack that killed more than 150 people, mostly children, and shocked the nation.

Wednesday’s attackers got into the compound by climbing over back walls around 9:30 a.m. and opening fire on a security guard.

They then made their way to the

administration building and the male students’ dorms, firing indiscriminately, Wazir said.

“I heard two explosions near the boys’ hostel,” said student Zahoor Khan. “I don’t know if these were suicide attacks or grenade attacks.”

Attempts to battle the gunmen

were complicated by a deep fog that had settled over the area, making visibility difficult.

“I rushed to evacuate the hostel and, while I was running, I got shot with bullets,” said security guard Nur Rehman, who was hospitalized. “Due to the fog, we were unable to see the terrorists.”

A Taliban leader, Khalifa Umar Mansoor, claimed responsibility for Wednesday’s attack, the Associated Press reported. Mansoor was the mastermind behind the deadly December 2014 attack on the Peshawar school.

A spokesman for the main Taliban faction in Pakistan, however, disowned the group behind the attack. Mohammad Khurasani said Wednesday’s attack was “unIslamic” and that Taliban fighters “consider the students in the non-military institutions the future of our jihad movement.”

Fueled by a combination of the natural El Niño climate pattern and man-made global warming, 2015 was the planet’s warmest year since records began in 1880, federal scientists announced Wednesday.

The average temperature across the Earth’s land and ocean surfaces was 1.62 degrees above average in 2015, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It was largest margin by which an annual global temperature record has ever been broken, NOAA said.

A separate analysis of data from NASA concurred with NOAA’s findings. Most of the warming has happened in the past 35 years, and 15 of the 16 warmest years have occurred since 2001, NASA said.

PENNSYLVANIA Pittsburgh:

USA TODAY

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin appeared to suggest Wednesday that her son’s arrest this week on domestic violence charges stemmed from the effects of his experiences as a soldier in Iraq.

Track Palin, a 26-year-old Iraq veteran, was arraigned Tuesday on charges of domestic violence assault, interfering with a report of domestic violence crime and possession of a firearm while intoxicated.

Track was handcuffed and arrested Monday night following a dispute with a girlfriend at the Wasilla home he shares with his parents, according to police documents.

The charges were filed on the same day the 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee made her first public appearance on behalf of GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump in Iowa.

Speaking at a Trump rally Wednesday in Oklahoma, Palin took a moment to address her son’s situation, which she called “the elephant in the room.”

Without specifically mentioning Track’s arrest, Palin said she can “relate with other families who feel these ramifications of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and source of the woundedness our

CONSUMER PRICES IN 2015: SMALLEST RISE IN 7 YEARS U.S. consumer prices fell in December, and for 2015 overall rose by the smallest amount in seven years, reflecting a big drop in energy prices. Consumer prices slipped 0.1% last month after a flat reading in November, the Labor Department reported Wednesday. For the entire year, overall inflation was up just 0.7%, even smaller than a 0.8% rise in 2014. Both years were heavily influenced by plunging energy prices. It was the weakest annual increase since a 0.1% rise in 2008.

Core inflation, which excludes volatile energy and food costs, edged up 0.1% in December. For the full year, core inflation was up 2.1% after a 1.6% rise in 2014.

STAPLES, OFFICE DEPOT EXTEND DEAL DEADLINE Staples and Office Depot agreed to give themselves three more months to complete their merger as regulators attempt to block the deal in court. The Federal Trade Commission’s decision to challenge the deal over concerns about the companies’ combined market share jeopardized Staples’ $6.3 billion acquisition of its chief rival. But the chains have said they are committed to defending the accord in U.S. District Court. They have extended the deadline for completing the deal from Feb. 4 to May 16.

Wednesday was a wild roller coaster on Wall Street, with stocks moving off of huge losses and the Nasdaq almost landing in positive territory.

After skydiving 565 points earlier in the day, the Dow Jones industrial average ended down about 249 points at 15,767, a 1.6% loss. The Nasdaq, after being hammered 3.7% earlier, sprang into slightly positive territory before ending down just 0.1%.

The sell-off that engulfed U.S. stocks early in 2016 intensified from the market open after oil broke below $27 a barrel for the first time since 2003, Japanese stocks skidded into bear market territory and European shares shed more than 3%.

“It is fear based selling,” says Nick Sargen senior investment advisor at Fort Washington Investment Advisors. But it is not yet “panic selling” like back in 2008, he adds.

“Stocks are stress-testing the August lows.”

Robert Sluymer, a technical stock analyst at RBC Capital Markets

Sparking Wednesday’s stock sell-off around the world were many of the same worries that have dragged down shares all year: fears of slowing growth around the globe and the continued plunge in oil at a time when markets are craving stabilization in the oil patch.

U.S.-produced crude, which tumbled as low as $26.19, was down $1.91 a barrel, or 6.7%, to $26.55, its lowest level since May 2003.

For now, as many Wall Street pros have been saying, “As oil goes, so goes the stock market.”

Unfortunately, signs of stabilization in the oil patch have not appeared amid a supply gut, slowing global growth and Iran brining on more supply after economic sanctions were lifted.

“De-risking remains the name of the game in today’s financial markets,” David Rosenberg, chief economist and strategist at Gluskin Sheff, noted in a report.

The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index ended down 1.2% at 1859, which put the closely followed U.S. stock benchmark below its closing low in August at the bottom of the market’s last correction.

A drop below that key 1868 level could signal even lower prices with the next support around 1800 to 1820, stock chart watchers say.

Oil slick: Prices close below $27 Lowest since 2003 as glut, worries about global economy batter energy companies Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Concerns over the tepid global economy, the U.S. stockmarket sell-off and surplus production that shows no sign of ebbing drove oil prices down further Wednesday.

The price of West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. crude benchmark, tumbled 6.7% to $26.55 a barrel, its lowest closing level since May 2003, according to the Oil Price Information Service. The price of Brent crude, the global benchmark, tumbled 3.2% to $27.10, its lowest closing mark since September 2003.

Traders are fretting the production boom around the globe won’t end anytime soon. Economic sluggishness in China and U.S. stock-market declines put additional pressure on energy prices, which often decline during worsening economic conditions.

Saudi Arabia, the leading producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, and energy companies in the U.S. have kept production high even as prices have dipped.

Global oil production rose by an average rate of 2.6 million barrels per day in 2015, according to a report by the International Energy Agency.

That led to an additional 1 billion barrels of oil in global inventories, with expectations of an additional 285 million by

Even as oil production remains high, the number of active U.S. rigs had fallen by 61% from a year ago.

“Persistent oversupply, bloated inventories and a slew of negative economic news pressured prices,” the IEA reported.

The low price of oil is a boon to U.S. consumers, who are enjoying gasoline below $2 per gallon at most stations. But the sharp drop has battered energy companies, leading to more than 258,000 layoffs in 2015 and expectation of more job cuts and bankruptcies in 2016.

Shell told investors Wednesday that it expects adjusted fourth-quarter income to fall into the $1.6 billion to $1.9 billion range, down from $3.3 billion a year ago.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon told CNBC on Wednesday that his “best guess” is that oil settles around $40 per barrel by the end of the year.

“Stocks are stress testing the August lows,” Robert Sluymer, a technical stock analyst at RBC Capital Markets told clients in a report.

Sluymer pointed out to clients that even though the market is oversold and beaten down, the S&P 500 “has yet to show any meaningful evidence of bottoming.”

Investors were shedding risk and heading to the safety of perceived havens, such as the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, where prices were rising and yields were falling.

The yield on the 10-year note dipped to 1.96%. The last time the yield closed at that low level was in mid-October.

“Risky assets (are) retreating as oil prices hit new lows and growth concerns remain elevated,” Guillermo Felices of Barclays told clients in a note. “The pickup in risk aversion has spread.”

Apple being ‘nibbled to death’ as its grip slips Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

Apple’s first big test of the year is next week. After being the darling of Wall Street for years, it increasingly finds itself under siege.

Shares of the company, which reports its latest quarterly results Jan. 26, have fallen below $94 amid reports Apple is slashing production of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus by 30% in the January-to-March quarter.

The stock is now down 28% off its 52-week high of $134.54. (Apple’s 52-week low, from August, is $92.)

It could get worse, and it’s not all of its own making. A roiling stock market, a flat global IT market and a weakening economy in China could have as much imSAN FRANCISCO

pact. Even presidential candidate Donald Trump has piled on: He wants Apple to build all of its products in the U.S. The slowdown in iPhone 6S production “suggests that not only are AAPL’s March numbers likely at risk (which investors have long worried about), but that December also appears at risk,” Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi said in a Jan. 8 report.

Relief may not come in the form of a hit product until later this year, with the expected release of iPhone 7 in September.

The news isn’t all bad: Apple sits on $200 billion in cash. Its products remain popular among the coveted under-35 demographic. It tops most-admired lists of corporations. Last week, Bank of America upgraded Apple stock to “buy.”

worldwide during the last three months on 2015, according to researcher Gartner.

But changes in technology have forced Apple off its perch.

The ascendance of social networks and message services, a shortcoming of Apple’s, and the emergence of rivals in key categories — virtual reality, where Facebook, Samsung and Microsoft are making strides, and high-tech cars, where Google and Tesla Motors are leading — have put Apple in a competitive catch-up role.

The Android market extended its lead over Apple’s iOS to 54.7% to 45.5% worldwide last year, according to data compiled for USA TODAY by mobile platform Localytics.

“Apple’s brand is being nibbled to death by many ducks,” says Frank Catalano, tech analyst and former marketing consultant.

Apple’s consumer brand is still

strong. But rivals Samsung Electronics, Amazon and Google have joined Apple in the mix, according to a recent ranking of brand engagement and loyalty by consultancy Brand Keys.

Apple’s future rests in making sure its premium-priced products keep, or regain, their status as a must-have purchase for a younger generation in the U.S. and internationally.

Despite its recent travails, Apple continues to enjoy an enduring grip among the coveted under-30 demographic in the U.S., according to an independent survey conducted this month by education-resource company Chegg for USA TODAY. The bigger question, says Ian Gertler, chief marketing officer of marketing consultancy Symplegades, is whether Millennials in international markets are embracing the Apple brand as much.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch David Craig @davidgcraig USA TODAY

YORK Wednesday’s rebound was a relief, but will it quiet talk about a bear market?

For a few hours the 2016 stock sell-off looked like it was going to turn into a full-fledged rout. The Dow Jones industrial average briefly was down more than 550 points.

But then a powerful late-day recovery hit that cut the loss in half. The Dow closed down 249 points at 15,767 — nothing to celebrate, but a lot easier to swallow.

Now the big question is whether Wednesday’s partial rebound will hold. Analysts have been predicting that stocks would find their footing this year. But the market has proved them wrong, with each attempt at a rebound NEW

Video-streaming service’s growth likely to stall Q: Can Netflix be the best stock again?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Netflix was the best big stock you could buy last year. A repeat performance is not looking likely.

Shares of Netflix took a hit Wednesday following the video-streaming service’s fourth-quarter results. Adjusted profit blew away expectations during the quarter by 250%, S&P Capital IQ says.

Much of the upside to expectations was driven by the company’s aggressive global expansion. But the stock slid anyway, falling about a quarter of a percent to $107.74. Shares of Netflix are now down more than 5% this year.

Analysts are increasingly worried subscriber cancellations could increase in the U.S. with higher pricing. Meanwhile, Netflix remains one of the most expensive stocks you can buy — which is a rising concern as the market corrects.

Netflix is trading for more than 280 times its adjusted earnings over the past 12 months. Analysts still remain very bullish on the stock, rating it “outperform” with an 18-month price target of $127.31 a share.

If the recent market correction fades and investors turn a blind eye to valuation, the stock could lift again. But it’s hard to imagine Netflix having another year like 2015, when shares jumped 134%. Not one of the 10 best S&P 500 stocks in 2014 were able to generate gains in 2015 that were as large or bigger.

IMF says Europe’s refugee crisis will boost region’s GDP Kim Hjelmgaard @khjelmgaard USA TODAY

DAVOS , SWITZERLAND

The European Union will see a small but positive impact on economic growth from the region’s refugee crisis, the International Monetary Fund said Wednesday.

While GDP across the EU will get a boost of 0.05%, 0.09% and 0.13% for 2015, 2016 and 2017, the three countries taking in the most refugees — Austria, Sweden and Germany — will see added growth of 0.5%, 0.4% and 0.3%,

German President Joachim Gauck highlighted his country’s humanitarian responsibility.

respectively, the IMF said.

The group released its findings on the economic impact of refugees in Europe at the World Eco-

nomic Forum. The topic is a major subject at the forum’s annual meeting.

The IMF said the immediate increase on GDP was a result of spending more on housing and infrastructure for asylum seekers.

The longer-term impact on growth will depend on how fast refugees are integrated into labor markets. The GDP per capita may be lower because of what the IMF said was the “weaker labor market performance of refugees.”

“International experience with economic immigrants suggests that migrants have lower employment rates and wages than na-

tives, though these differences diminish over time. Slow integration reflects factors such as lack of language skills and transferable job qualifications, as well as barriers to job search,” the IMF said. “In the case of refugees, legal constraints on work during the asylum application period also play a role.”

The assessment comes as German President Joachim Gauck said Wednesday it was “extremely likely” his country would limit the number of refugees entering Germany, saying such measures might be “morally and politically necessary.”

More than 1 million migrants and refugees arrived in Europe’s wealthiest and most populous nation in 2015. His remarks echo statements previously made by German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Gauck said keeping more people out of the country might be the only way to “preserve the state’s ability to function.”

“Migration is only politically viable to the extent that citizens are willing to accept it,” he added.

Gauck’s comments appeared to refer to a growing sentiment in Germany that Merkel’s government is struggling with the European migrant crisis.

They’re grosser, but the bottom line is gross can be good Bryan Alexander USA TODAY

Yes, that is Robert De Niro rolling through spring break in Daytona Beach with Zac Efron in trailers for Dirty Grandpa.

With a battle cry of “Party till you’re pregnant,” De Niro has rejoined the road trip genre he also drove to perfection in 1988’s Midnight Run. But the R-rated Dirty Grandpa, which Lionsgate hasn’t previewed ahead of its official release Friday, joins 2013’s Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa as players in a far raunchier road trip resurgence.

“Hollywood likes to come back to these films, which are getting cruder and cruder,” says Jeff Bock, box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. “That’s how they are selling this one: ‘Come see Robert De Niro as grotesquely rude and crude.’

That’s either a master stroke or desperate times.”

A look at the wild state of road trip films finds a few key trends:

CRUDE IS KING

A steady stream of major studio R-rated road trip comedies has flowed into theaters, as diverse as July’s Vacation (a successor to 1983’s National Lampoon’s Vacation) and 2014’s Tammy. The rebirth is partly strategic nostalgia.

“We’re seeing more of these because today’s filmmakers grew up with classic ’80s road trip movies like Planes, Trains & Automobiles,” says Dave Karger, senior correspondent for Fandango.com. “But these classic films are hard to live up to.”

While the crudeness is amped up, often as the critical-approval ratings have dropped, the new films have made money. Dumb and Dumber To raked in $86 million in 2014 with 29% approval on review aggregation site RottenTomatoes.com, while Vacation hit nearly $59 million (27% approval), Tammy made $84 million (23%) and We’re the Millers collected $150 million (47%).

Even the beloved Chipmunks hit the highway with the PG-rated Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip.

ParentPreviews.com notes that “potty humor and flatulence jokes are used.” Road Chip has quietly rolled to $81 million (17%).

SOME OF THEM ARE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED

Film historian Leonard Maltin says quality road adventures are out there, they’re just harder to find.

“There’s unlimited life in road trip movies, even if it hasn’t yielded great results of late,” he says. “It’s a staple of the storytelling process, because it’s all about what happens getting here to there.”

Maltin points to Lily Tomlin’s Grandma, as well as Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg in The End of the Tour, as “sturdy” independent examples in 2015.

ROAD TRIP MOVIES ARE EVOLVING

Grandma writer/director Paul Weitz says the urge to get out and explore America, the essence of many great road trip movies, has lessened in the modern age.

“People are having road trips on their iPads,” Weitz says. “Before, if you wanted to have these experiences, you had to get up and go somewhere.”

Meanwhile, Weitz believes the genre is heading into bold new worlds, like spaceships. “In a weird way, (the new) Star Wars is a road trip movie with all that stuff happening in the Millennium Falcon.”

The future could get odder, Weitz says: “Once there are self-driving cars, that will take it to a whole new level.”

An older (but not wiser) Vacation family hit the road last year.

Spike Lee’s ‘From Motown to Off the Wall’ reveals a young and free Michael Jackson Elysa Gardner USA TODAY

When Michael Jackson released Off the Wall in 1979, 19 days shy of his 21st birthday, he was already a showbiz veteran.

Having risen to fame as a preternaturally gifted child in the Jackson 5, he saw his solo projects shaped largely by songwriters and producers appointed by the group’s label, Motown Records.

Off the Wall — the subject of a new Spike Lee documentary — introduced Michael Jackson, at this point signed to Epic, as a creatively autonomous artist whose charisma could attract wide audiences. With the war between rock and disco still raging, dance-friendly classics Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough and Rock With You reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100.

Spike Lee remembers first hearing Don’t Stop as a summer intern at Columbia Pictures.

“That was the song, everywhere,” says Lee, who would later direct videos for Jackson’s 1996 single They Don’t Care About Us and 2009’s posthumous This Is It. Michael Jackson’s Journey From Motown to ‘Off the Wall,’ set to premiere Sunday at Sundance

SPIKE LEE

Spike Lee’s documentary Michael Jackson’s Journey From Motown to ‘Off the Wall’ is on Showtime Feb. 5.

Film Festival and Feb. 5 on Showtime, marks the second time Lee has turned his attention to the making of a Jackson album. With 2012’s Bad 25, Lee commemorated the silver anniversary of the follow-up to Jackson’s blockbuster Thriller.

Just as Bad was informed by Jackson’s yearning to outdo himself, Off the Wall was driven by a joyful sense of emancipation.

The synergy that developed between Jackson and producer Quincy Jones proved magical.

“It was a marriage made in heaven,” Lee says. “They comple-

mented each other’s strengths.”

Adds veteran music journalist and author Alan Light, “This incredibly layered sound they came up with, with these complicated but undeniable grooves that Quincy was constructing ... that were unlike anything people had heard before.”

In Lee’s new documentary — also available in CD/DVD/Bluray packages with the reissued album, out Feb. 26 — latter-day stars and innovators such as Pharrell Williams, The Weeknd, Questlove, John Legend and ballet dancer Misty Copeland testify

to Jackson’s multifaceted performance skills and enduring influence. The archival footage includes admirers such as Gene Kelly and Sammy Davis Jr. “Michael Jackson was a scholar of art,” Lee says. “He would study everyone.”

But if Off the Wall heralded the student’s arrival as an artist who would be emulated himself, Lee posits it also began a cycle of frustrated aspiration, rooted at least partly in race: “Race is woven into everything in the United States of America. Did you not see the Academy Award nominations?”

While the album won Jackson a Grammy Award for best R&B vocal performance (for Don’t Stop), it was ignored in the major categories. “After he got snubbed by the Grammys, he told his mother, ‘I’m coming back next year,’ ” Lee says. “When you see those dollar signs, it can influence what you’re doing.” An ultimately successful struggle to have his videos air on MTV (inhospitable to black artists in its early days) followed, as did darker and more personal challenges.

But Off the Wall arrived, as Lee puts it, “before things started turning around — when you could still hear Michael Jackson’s joy.”

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Punchless

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Big 12 boasts players who want the ball The Big 12 basketball title might stay in Lawrence, but a list of five players from the conference most capable of taking over a game and leading their teams to victory would not include anyone from Kansas University.

The Jayhawks faced one of the five Tuesday night in Stillwater and face two more in a three-day span from Saturday to Monday, when the Jayhawks play Texas in Allen Fieldhouse and Iowa State in Hilton Coliseum.

What a brutal conference.

1. Buddy Hield, Oklahoma: National player of the year candidate makes so many deep, well-guarded shots that he makes big deficits seem a lot smaller.

He leads the Big 12 with 26.1 points per game and ranks second to Howard’s James Daniel (28.5) nationally.

Hield’s a .515 three-point marksman, a remarkable figure for such a highvolume shooter who draws so much attention from defenses.

Hield has shot .571 from three in the six games he has torched an opponent for 30-plus points. It sounds like a strange thing to say about a player who scores more than twice as many points as the team’s next high scorer, but at times it seems as if the Sooners don’t feed Hield enough.

2. Jawun Evans, Oklahoma State: His two bullet bounce-passes off the dribble in the blowout victory vs. Kansas were among many examples of why teammates love playing with him. Ranked No. 36 in the Class of 2015 by Rivals, the point guard from Dallas has exceeded expectations.

So quick and such a great passer, he has the body control to finish accurately at the rim.

“The thing that I like about him, he asserts himself, but he controls the game from an unselfish standpoint too,” Kansas coach Bill Self said of Evans.

“He’s so fast. I don’t know that we did an awful job on him, and he got 22 and eight (assists). He makes his free throws. He’s really good.

I would say he’s really understanding how to play at this level and really growing a lot real fast right now.

People should be excited about him. He’s good.”

So good that he dropped 42 points in a two-point loss to Oklahoma with just two three-pointers and four free throws. Teams, including Kansas in the rematch, might decide to play some zone against the Cowboys, based on how well Baylor did with it in a 79-62 victory in Waco. Evans scored eight points in that one.

3. Georges Niang, Iowa State: Double him down low, and he’ll find the open man. Guard him with size, and he’ll pull his man to the perimeter and burn him from outside or drive by him. He has a clever assortment of shots inside and

K-State keeps Jayhawks reeling, 59-46

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Wednesday night might have given Kansas University women’s basketball coach Brandon Schneider his first true taste of the Sunflower Showdown rivalry with Kansas State, but it offered no relief from his team’s offensive struggles and losing ways.

Thanks to a 1-of-15 shooting start that allowed Kansas State to build an early 13-point lead, the Jayhawks dropped their ninth game in

a row and remained winless in Big 12 play, 59-46, at Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas (5-13 overall, 0-7 Big 12) shot just 24 percent from the floor for the game — 14 percent in the first half — and failed to crack the 50-point mark for the eighth time this season.

“It’s hard to be in any ball game (when you do that),” Schneider said after the loss. “For us, it’s execution and missing shots. And then there’s another element of the wrong guys taking the

wrong shots, and we have a little bit of that going on, too.”

Kansas State’s defense had more than a little to do with KU’s offensive struggles on Wednesday night, but even when the Jayhawks did find the right shooting touch, KState refused to let it matter.

Four times during the third and fourth quarters KU cut the KSU lead to 12 or 11 points. And each time, KState (13-5, 3-4) responded with a mini-run that kept any thoughts of a Kansas comeback on the back burner.

“That was a little frustrating,” said senior guard Timeka O’Neal, who led KU with nine points on 3-of-7 shooting from three-point range.

“And it’s all on us.”

Scoring has become so difficult for this Kansas team that sophomore point guard Lauren Aldridge’s buzzerbeating three-pointer from 27 feet at the end of the third quarter was treated more with amazement and a shrug than excitement and a shriek.

Self sees no reason to panic just yet

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Bill Self, the coach of the country’s No. 3-ranked college basketball team, is not ready to panic after two losses in the last three Big 12 games — both setbacks on the road.

“What we need to do is we need to have some good things happen,” Self, Kansas University’s 13th-year coach, said Wednesday on his “Hawk Talk” radio show.

“But we need to remember who we are and we’ve got

a darn good team and good players and certainly there’s so much to play for.

“But sometimes one loss around this place (KU) seems like three or four or five at other places. That’s not the way it is. It’s too long a season to be totally worried about what potentially could happen. We are going through the same things that every team in the country is going through,” Self added.

Self’s Jayhawks (15-3, 4-2) have averaged 67.3 points a game in four games since opening Big 12 play with an

102-74 win over Baylor and 109-106, 3OT victory over Oklahoma.

“It’s still early,” said Self.

Baylor at this juncture tops the league standings with a 5-1 record, followed by KU, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Texas at 4-2. Iowa State is 3-3, Texas Tech and OSU 2-4, K-State and TCU 1-5.

“We haven’t helped ourselves at all by not takNick Krug/Journal-World Photo ing care of business at a couple places (West Vir- OKLAHOMA STATE SECURITY HELPS to shield ginia, OSU).

Firebirds, Lions set for tournaments “

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High’s boys basketball players have won five straight games since winter break and were rewarded with a No. 5 ranking in Class 6A. Their next challenge: tournament week.

The Firebirds will play in the McPherson Invitational Please see KEEGAN, page 3C over the next three days,

facing Wichita North in the first round at 4:45 p.m. today in McPherson High’s Roundhouse.

Free State won the tournament in 2014 and took fourth place at the St. Thomas Aquinas Tournament last year. More than anything, it gives the Firebirds an opportunity to face top teams with different styles of play.

“It’s good for us,” junior

guard Jacob Pavlyak said.

“It’s kind of like a state tournament-like atmosphere.”

The Firebirds (7-1) will face Derby or Junction City on Friday. Both teams are potential sub-state opponents. McPherson (8-1, ranked No. 2 in 4A-I) is the top team on the other side of the bracket.

“I think it’s good to get out of the league a little bit

I think it’s good to get out of the league a little bit and play some different teams.”

and play some different teams,” FSHS coach Sam Stroh said. “Playing Wichita North (4-5), they play in the City League, so they won’t be scared of us. They’ll be ready to go. So it’ll be good for us just to see some good opponents.”

Bills hire woman to coaching staff Buffalo, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills have hired Kathryn Smith to be their special teams quality control coach, making her the first full-time female member of an NFL coaching staff.

The team announced the move in a release Wednesday.

Smith spent last season working as an administrative assistant for Bills assistant coaches on Rex Ryan’s staff.

She spent the previous 12 seasons working for the New York Jets in various capacities, including a player personnel assistant from 2007-13. In 2014, Smith served as the Jets assistant to the head coach in Ryan’s final season in New York.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

NU-OU to resume storied rivarly Lincoln, Neb. — Old rivals Nebraska and Oklahoma have added two more games against each other to their future schedules.

Nebraska on Wednesday announced the games for 2029 and 2030. Those are in addition to previously announced meetings in 2021 and 2022.

Nebraska-Oklahoma was one of college football’s greatest rivalries, with games in the 1970s and ‘80s usually deciding the Big Eight championship. OU leads the series 45-38-3, but Nebraska won nine of the last 15. The teams last played in the 2010 Big 12 championship game, the year before the Cornhuskers moved to the Big Ten. The 2021 and 2029 games will be at Oklahoma and the 2022 and 2030 games at Nebraska.

Tech QB Mahomes to give up baseball Lubbock, Texas — Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes has decided to focus on football and won’t rejoin the Red Raiders baseball team this season.

Mahomes said Wednesday that after talking with his family he decided it was in his “best interest” to concentrate on football and academics. He is the son of Pat Mahomes, who played for six major-league baseball teams in an 11-year career.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Jayhawks seek to fill recruiting class

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Tuesday marked the first day of the spring semester and the Journal-World learned that seven new members of the Kansas University football team expected to arrive on campus in time for spring football did, in fact, enroll and attend the first day of the new semester.

They include mid-year transfers DeeIsaac Davis (DT), Isi Holani (DT) and Stephan Robinson (WR), 2015 commitments Cam Durley (OL) and Shola Ayinde (DB) who were not able to make it to KU last semester and, therefore, will count in the 2016 recruiting class, and likely walk-ons Dagan Haehn (QB) and Keegan Brewer (WR), Lake Dallas High teammates who committed to the program in December.

It remains to be seen what impact these players will have on the program, but adding seven players in time for spring practices, which

Sophomore Chayla Cheadle and freshman forward Tyler Johnson each added eight points for the Jayhawks during Wednesday’s loss, while Jada Brown chipped in seven and Kylee Kopatich six.

Kansas shot 9-of-30 from three-point range and finished with fewer turnovers (16-13) more assists (11-8) and twice as many steals (8-4).

But even those numbers could not help KU escape its latest offensive nightmare.

While the Jayhawks were struggling to put up points, K-State was getting its baskets right at the rim. K-State scored 34 of its 59 points in the paint, with junior forward Breanna Lewis leading the way with 23 points on 10-of-16 shooting. Had it not been for first-half foul trouble, Lewis, who played just 18 minutes, easily could have topped the 30-point mark in this one, as KU’s defense offered little resistance for any of K-State’s players at the rim.

“It’s my fault she only played 18 minutes,” KState coach Jeff Mittie said after the game. “And her fault she got in foul trouble. But some coaches would’ve played her a little more.”

After a rough first quarter that ended with Kansas trailing 11-2, Schneider said he was pleased with the intensity his team played with on the defensive end. The easy Wildcat buckets were not the result of complete defensive breakdowns

by Kansas, rather poise

are set to begin in midMarch and wrap up with the April 9 spring game, provides the rebuilding program with a big lift, at least in terms of added bodies.

Second-year KU coach David Beaty and his staff have two recruiting weekends remaining before the Feb. 3 national signing day, and, as luck would have it, the KU basketball program has two Saturday home games during that stretch, this week vs.

Texas and Jan. 30 vs. Kentucky.

Throughout the years, several KU coaches, including Beaty, have lauded the huge advantage that bringing recruits into Allen Fieldhouse provides because the potential Jayhawks get to see KU’s fan base and campus rocking at its highest level.

That certainly will be the case this year, especially one week from now when KU and UK lock up in what figures to be as wild of an environment as you can find in Lawrence.

Because so many players on the 2015 roster counted forward, KU has five open spots remaining to fill in what will wind up being a 17-man class if all spots are filled.

Given that five of those names were names KU football fans already knew about — the three mid-year transfers plus Ayinde and Durley — you’re looking at a maximum of 12 new faces being officially added to the KU roster on signing day in two weeks.

The seven future Jayhawks who already have committed and seem to be solid with Kansas are: Antione Frazier (OL), Hunter Harris (OL), Chris Hughes (OL), Maciah Long (LB), Kyle Mayberry (DB), Ian Peterson (DB) and Braylon Royal (WR).

Here’s a quick look at some of KU’s remaining targets, according to JayhawkSlant.com, in the current recruiting class.

FS wrestlers cruise

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Shawnee — Free State High’s wrestling team jumped to a 23-0 advantage in what ended up being a rout of a 43-16 dual victory over Shawnee Mission Northwest on Wednesday.

Free State’s Garrett Bradley, Bennett King, Quailan Fowler, Isaiah Jacobs and Tate Steele each won as the Firebirds swept the first five weight classes.

“The kids that we wrestled are pretty tough kids, so our challenge was in the lower weights,” Free State coach Mike Gillman said. “We knew if we got past that, we had a pretty good shot at it.”

Despite the lopsided final score, nothing came easily for either squad, as there were injury timeouts in five of the first seven matches.

The first victory for the Firebirds was a painful one for FSHS 106-pounder Bradley. Shawnee Mission Northwest’s Jerad Habben — ranked third in Class 6A’s 106-pound division — jumped to a

games. There will be other people lose at those respective places. Still though it does give you the feeling there’s less margin for error moving forward,” Self said.

“We talked about this as a group today (in what he called a ‘little visitation session’) ... we shouldn’t be talking about the league race. We should just be talking about getting better and being as good as this team can be.

The No. 11 (league titles in row) and is it going to be 12? We talked openly that it’s not a pressure thing intentionally. When a lot of questions are asked it makes you think and expectations are high. It’s not going for 12. It’s going for the first one with this group. They need to look at it that way.”

Self addressed with his players the fact they’ve looked lethargic.

“I think your bodies can be fresh sometimes but sometimes you are stressed for whatever reason,” Self said. “There could be different things going on with you to maybe create a situation where you do not quite feel as rested. I really feel the last 10 days or so we’ve looked like a team that was fatigued a little bit. That’s not an excuse by any stretch. It’s reality everybody goes through these things at different times during the season.

“We haven’t screened.

It seems like we are a quarter-step late which doesn’t have anything to do with trying. It has more something to do

have won two games in overtime and another by a point after climbing back from an 18-point fourth-quarter deficit.

But they’re reminded that if a few plays went a different way, they’d have a losing record.

“We have to keep working,” Pavlyak said.

“Coach (Stroh) told us today, we’re four possessions away from being 3-5. We’ve got nothing to be happy with right now.”

Lawrence High’s boys basketball team opens in the Topeka Invitational Tournament against Wichita Northwest (4-5) at 3:15 p.m. today.

FREE STATE HIGH SOPHOMORE TATE STEELE WRAPS HIMSELF around Shawnee Mission Northwest senior Colin Anthony during a dual Wednesday at SM Northwest. Steele won by technical fall, 16-0.

8-0 first-period lead, but lost it all seven seconds into the second with one illegal move. Although Gillman believes there was no ill intent by Habben, the SMNW sophomore picked up Bradley and slammed him to the mat head-first and was eventually disqualified after a long injury timeout. Bradley said after the dual that he still had a bad headache, but plans to use the match as a learning experience.

“Really to just get more hand control because he slammed me pretty

hard, and that did not feel good,” Bradley said.

While Bradley’s win came in a sudden turn of events, King’s went down to the wire. King held off Charles Brockmann for a 3-2 win by decision that left the SMNW freshman upset after he thought he had a last-second takedown.

“I just didn’t want to give up, and lose the team some points,” King said.

“I was entitled to those points.”

Fowler won by a 9-3 decision, Jacobs won by fall, and Steele was victorious by tech fall.

with maybe our focus or our magic level that we are not quite getting to that we get to at different times,” he added. “We are not a team that is going to win on talent alone. I don’t care what anybody says. We don’t have the so-called lottery picks.

What we have is a bunch of really good players. We need to play with that energy to allow us to have the intangibles to win.

Talent can win. Intangibles win championships.

I’m not sure we’ve played with the same intangibles the last couple games.”

He was asked about junior Wayne Selden, Jr., who scored seven points off 3-of-8 shooting at OSU. “Wayne (Selden, Jr.) hasn’t shot it as well.

Shooting comes and goes.

He probably hasn’t impacted the game as much of late than what he was earlier,” Self said. “We talked about that today a lot. He sees that. He has to rebound, do some different things that give our team a chance other than him just making shots. I look for him to be much more aggressive doing those things starting Saturday (1 p.m., game vs. Texas in Allen Fieldhouse).

“Whether it be Frank (Mason III), Devonté (Graham), Perry or Wayne, look at them individually and you can say they’ve all had really, really good years. Look at them individually the last 10 days we have not been quite as good. You don’t go from being a really, really, really outstanding player to not-a-goodplayer in the span of a week.

The Lions beat both of those schools earlier in the season.

The Lions (9-1, No. 3 in 6A) have some extra experience with tournament week, playing in the Blue Valley Shootout in December.

“It’s a test playing three in a row,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said. “That’s always a challenge. But
