East Ninth design hits parking concerns

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

A design plan introduced to the East Ninth Street Advisory Committee last month made a second appearance, with amendments, in the committee’s meeting Wednesday evening.

Josh Shelton, a principal with architecture firm el dorado inc., presented the

Green space, sidewalks still sticking points with residents plan, which offers a complete-street design with a wider road, increased green space and the addition of more ADA-accessible sidewalk (measuring at least 5 feet) while preserving Ninth Street’s sections of historic brick. Under the plan, in areas where widening would be impossible, Shelton said another

sidewalk could be added.

One of the most talkedabout additions was the concept of a sharrow, or a shared-lane marking, from New Hampshire Street running east to Delaware Street.

Phil Collison, representing the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association, expressed concerns about

the “loss of the dedicated bike lanes” down Ninth Street. In el dorado’s plan, specific lanes for cyclists would only remain between Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets.

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers are gearing up for what could be one of the toughest political battles seen in the Statehouse since the early 1960s, a bill that would force the consolidation of many of the state’s smaller school districts.

Rep. John Bradford, R-Lansing, is the author of a bill that will be the subject of hearings next week in the House Education Committee.

Starting in 2017, it would cut the number of school districts by more than half, down to 132, by forming one countywide district in each county with I think the fewer than 10,000 students. And in reason people are counties with more than 10,000 stu- concerned about dents, districts consolidation is would be realigned they don’t want to so that every district lose their school.” in that county has at least 1,500 students.

Furthermore, the — Mark Tallman, bill would require Kansas Association the Kansas State of School Boards Department of Education to repeat the process of realigning districts every 10 years after that.

According to an analysis by the Kansas Association of School Boards, the Lawrence school district would not be affected by that because it has slightly more than 12,000 students.

But the Baldwin City district, with only 1,386 students, would be forced to merge with another district, possibly the Eudora school district, which has 1,743 students.

Also affected would be all six school districts in Jefferson County, each of which has fewer than 1,000 students.

Bradford said the aim of his bill is not to force the closing of school buildings in small communities, but to consolidate the administrative functions, which he says could save

KU and the problem of the fraternity secrets it keeps

K

eeping fraternity secrets can be quite a burden, I’m told. I wonder if Kansas University leaders are feeling that burden these days, because KU currently is in the fraternity secret business.

As we’ve previously reported, two KU fraternities — Delta Tau Delta and Phi Beta Sigma — have been placed on probation for violation of the university’s hazing policy.

When a reporter learns of something like that, there’s a pretty logical next question

taxpayers millions of dollars a year.

“A good case is Reno County,” Bradford said, noting that there are six school districts, including Hutchinson, the largest district in the county.

“I spoke with one of the county commissioners in Reno County and he says, ‘I don’t need six of everything.

I need one superintendent,’” Bradford said. “One superintendent is more than capable of running that many schools.”

Bradford said that by consolidating administrations and selling off surplus administrative buildings, vehicles and other equipment, the bill would save taxpayers an estimated $173 million over 10 years.

But Mark Tallman, a lobbyist for the Kansas Association of School Boards, said he believes that figure is overstated.

“You may have only one superintendent (per county), that’s true,” he said. “You may have less of a CEO, but either that person is going to have to be overseeing many more buildings and principals and functions and a larger budget themselves, or they’re going to get more help. They’re going to hire assistant superintendents.

They’re going to hire business directors.”

The state’s current system of unified school districts was established through a massive consolidation process in the

1960s. At that time, there were more than a thousand school “districts,” many of which did not include the full K-12 grade range.

“The thing that I think is so fascinating about that is, when consolidation was done in the ’60s, I’m not aware of anybody who said it was to save money or be more efficient,” Tallman said. “It was to improve quality. And in fact, spending went up after consolidation.”

The battles over that process are said to be legendary in the Statehouse because many smaller communities lost their districts, along with their local schools, which in many cases led to the towns themselves dissolving into what are now unincorporated villages.

Tallman said that although the bill does not call for any school buildings to close, many people in smaller communities are concerned that may be the result anyway.

“If you are a small community with a relatively small school, and you’re brought into a larger community, a countywide community and you don’t have the votes, and the rest of the district decides, ‘We could be more efficient if we didn’t operate that little school in your town,’ you’ve lost your recourse,” he said. “So for better or worse, I think the reason people are concerned about consolidation is they don’t want to lose their school.”

The House Education Committee is scheduled to open hearings on the bill on Feb. 3.

tion, with an endowment market value of $488.9 million, according to the study. K-State’s value, which grew 3.2 percent from the previous year, ranked 178th overall on the NACUBO list.

The change in an endowment’s market value reflects the net impact of the following: withdrawals to fund institutional operations and capital expenses; payment of endowment management and investment fees; additions from donor gifts and other contributions; and investment gains or losses, according to NACUBO. Market values also include estimated valuations of real estate and other “illiquid” assets, which may see large increases or decreases during a relatively short period of time.

Once again the top three schools on NACUBO’s 2015 list are Harvard with a $36.4 billion endowment, Yale with a $25.6 billion endowment and the University of Texas with a $24 billion endowment.

— again, with no names attached — KU has left it open to the imagination.

I tell sources frequently that if they choose to create a vacuum of information, it will be filled by the public. I’m not saying that is fair, but it is human nature. l Fairness to students and parents: Imagine if you are a student who is contemplating joining one of these fraternities.

Would you like to know what hazing activity took place? Imagine you are a parent of a student who is contemplating joining one of these fraternities.

Would you like to know the hazing activities that took place? There’s also the issue of information that parents of current members are entitled to know. KU has told us that parents of current members have no more access to KU’s findings than the general public does. Sure, parents could ask their sons what happened. It should be noted, however, that the parenting strategy of “ask and you shall receive” has been shown to have inconsistent results.

I wonder whether KU leaders think this outcome is right. Does the

university believe that the public, future students, parents of future students should have access to this information? It seems that KU’s answer to that question would say a lot about how the university views its partnership with those key groups.

I’ve chatted with some university officials involved in this matter, and I don’t have a clear sense of where they stand on this. I think they do feel hamstrung by the law, and I can understand how organizations like KU use an abundance of caution when complying with the law.

But that shouldn’t ever stop the university from speaking out when it thinks a law does not serve the university or its constituents well. Here’s hoping the university directs its lobbying team to seek changes to the law to make it clear that a public university has the right to release information about why it sanctions student organizations.

It is information the public deserves to know.

I don’t have very much information. I could just trust KU treated both groups fairly. I also could just trust all government entities, throw away my pencil and notepad and call it a career. l Fairness to fraternity members: You can argue that KU is doing no favors to the members of these fraternities.

Remember, the issue has never been about releasing the names of these members to the public.

But certainly there are people on campus who know the identity of some of these members.

There are times these members self-identify themselves. KU has now publicly announced that these two fraternities conducted hazing. That means some members did things they shouldn’t have, and some members or pledges had things done to them that shouldn’t have been done. KU has now provided a list of the range of activities that may have happened. Some of them are potentially very harmful: paddling, forced nudity, sexual acts. By not providing any information about what actually occurred

Voting machine lawsuit hearing set for Feb. 18 Wichita (ap) — A judge will hear arguments next month on the request to dismiss the lawsuit filed by a Wichita mathematician who is seeking to audit voting machine results after finding statistical anomalies in election counts.

A hearing has been set for Feb. 18 in Sedgwick

County District Court.

Wichita State University statistician Beth Clarkson wants the tapes to check the error rate on electronic voting machines used at a Sedgwick County voting station during the November 2014 general election.

Sedgwick County contends it is statutorily pro-

hibited from producing the voting machine tapes, which it contends are not open records. It also argued the issue was settled in an earlier lawsuit.

But Clarkson’s attorney, Randall Rathbun, disagrees. He said Wednesday issues raised in the past are not being litigated in this case.

walking and cycling with its ADA-accessible sidewalks, green space and sharrows.

“Our thought was that through the neighborhood, it would start to feel more like a really generous pedestrian experience and a lot of green space,” Shelton said. “If the feedback is generally that parking is valued more than having that green space in this condition, we would go back and look at it.”

The green space in question includes the planting of native grasses along the curbs. Shelton said the grasses could work as part of a stormwater management system in which water is filtered through the plants and dirt before reaching storm sewers at intersections.

Shelton also suggested the addition of terrace steps in front of the historic St. Luke AME Church at 900 New York St., which he said would become an “expression of a front porch” where church goers and mem-

bers of the public can gather.

St. Luke Rev. Verdell Taylor said the plan “made sense” to him, and acknowledged the church’s steep grade, a challenge to ADA accessibility, needed to be addressed. The proposed entrance would follow ADA guidelines.

“I don’t want you all to perceive that you’re unloading concerns on us, and I don’t want to walk away feeling like, ‘Boy, we’re buried in concerns,’” Shelton said, later adding that he appreciated the flow of ideas between his firm and East Lawrence neighbors.

“We’re getting closer and closer each time.”

Mayor Mike Amyx agreed. The East Ninth Citizen Advisory Committee will meet one last time, on March 2, before the city commission reviews the design plan later that month.

“We have one shot to do it right, and I think we’re getting pretty close,” Amyx said.

Artist Dave Loewenstein, who lives and works in East Lawrence, agreed. Loewenstein said he notices residents using the parking space along the 400 block of East Ninth, where his studio is located, every day.

But Shelton disagreed, saying he had not “experienced a large amount of parking” occurring along the thoroughfare and that he hopes his plan will encourage more

Sidewalk repairs, special commission named as priorities

“

One of the things that we learned through our study is there was not really a holistic approach to advising the commission on bike and pedestrian-related issues.”

— Marilyn Hull, Pedestrian-Bicycle Issues Task Force chairwoman

recommendations for what to accomplish by 2030 is to ask voters for a .05 percent sales tax increase to fund sidewalk repairs.

The group estimated a .05 percent increase would generate $850,000 per year, providing the city the funding to bring public sidewalks and curb ramps to ADA compliance by the 2030 target.

City policy currently requires property owners to maintain sidewalks — a law the task force called “politically unenforceable.”

The estimated cost of the city repairing damaged sidewalks and bringing them to ADA compliance is $9.5 million, according to the task force’s draft report.

“Here’s what I think: I think there’s a lot of com-

munity support for improving our sidewalks,” Hull said. “Nobody wants to see their taxes increase. It’s going to be a challenging conversation, but we wanted to include that in our presentation as one option that the City Commission could consider.”

The report states Lawrence has 72 miles of streets that do not have sidewalks on either side.

The task force estimated it would cost $10.5 million to create sidewalks on one side of every street in the city and $118.7 million to install sidewalk on both sides of every street.

The 2016 to 2018 Capital Improvement Plan calls for spending $1.5 million to fill in sidewalk gaps.

Bo Luo, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, will be the program leader at KU. He said the SFS program addresses a nationwide shortfall in highly expert cybersecurity personnel.

“Cybersecurity is extremely critical,” Luo said in a news release from KU. “This grant is a very small portion of that shortage, supporting 36 students. That’s far from what is needed, but this is part of a national program — and KU is proud to be part of it. All together, CyberCorps will provide thousands of graduates with cybersecurity expertise. Ours is one of the leading efforts.”

Luo added that the Jayhawk SFS program would recruit transitioning soldiers and veterans. Michael Denning, director of the Office of Graduate Military Programs at KU, will act as a key liaison for veteran recruits.

group Kansas Appleseed, a Lawrence-based justice center that provides legal advocacy for the poor.

Reps. John Wilson, DLawrence, and John Rubin, R-Shawnee, were the first lawmakers to sign the pledge during a kickoff rally for the campaign at the Statehouse.

Rubin has been a staunch opponent of practices that have become common in the House, such as bundling multiple bills into a single conference committee bill that members have to approve or reject as a package; and of allowing unrecorded “division” votes on

amendments and on motions to advance bills to final action.

Rubin said he intends to push for more legislation this year, including providing live audio streams of committee hearings.

Organizations involved in the Open Kansas initiative include Kansas Appleseed, El Centro, Communities Creating Opportunity, Kansas Action for Children, and Kansas Association of Community Action Programs.

The comments were to be used to inform the five characteristics in the board’s candidate profile, but Sanburn said the comments were enough in line with the board’s characteristics that the profile will remain the same. The comments will still be used by the firm’s consultants as they screen applicants, she said.

“When they get applicants, they’ll look at the applicants with that lens and then determine the top 10 candidates that meet all of those requirements,” Sanburn said.

Those roughly 10 candidates will be narrowed to six semifinalists, then to three finalists. Once the finalists are determined, there will be another chance for some community members to give feedback to the board.

The consultants will be conducting smaller focus groups of about a dozen people in which participants will meet with each

finalist and provide input to the board, Sanburn said. Board members will work in conjunction with district administration to select the participants for four focus groups: teacher union representatives, principals and teachers; central office administrators; community members, parents and students; and classified staff.

“Those sessions will be fairly informal,” Sanburn said. “The finalists will have the opportunity to ask some questions, introduce themselves and talk about why they want to be superintendent in Lawrence.”

The deadline for application is Feb. 16. The focus groups will take place March 7 and March 8, after which the board will make its hiring decision.

The announcement will be made public by the end of that week.

0.05 percent of the infrastructure sales tax to improvement projects for pedestrians and bicyclists that aren’t connected to a street improvement.

The task force also wants city staff and a commission dedicated to pedestrian and bicycle issues.

Hull said the task force was assembled nearly one year ago after multiple groups lobbied City Hall for funding and improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists.

A new transportation commission, she said, would take into consideration all modes of transportation and “make the investments that are the smartest for the community overall.”

“One of the things that we learned through our study is there was not really a holistic approach to advising the commission on bike and pedestrian-related issues,” Hull said.

The task force gathered input from the public to create the recommendations. It’s now asking that the public weigh in again on its draft report.

A survey about the recommendations was posted through the city’s Lawrence Listens forum, and the task force is hosting a public meeting about them on Feb. 3 at 5:45 p.m. at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. The task force will present and talk about the recommendations with the City Commission during a study session at 4 p.m. Feb. 9, also at City Hall.

The task force’s deadline to submit its final report is March 1.

Hull said she didn’t think the City Commission would vote on the report as a package. Instead, she said, the recommendations will be considered over time.

“It will be a series of decisions over time, I think,” Hull said. “Some are budget related, some are policy related and some are staffing related.

It will take time for the city to work through all of those.”

Four Cordley Elementary School students were in a Lawrence school district van when it was rear-ended Wednesday morning.

Around 8:45 a.m. a van owned by the district and driven by a staff member was bringing four students to the district’s office at 110 McDonald Drive, said Julie Boyle, communications director for the school district.

While stopped at a stoplight at the intersection of 19th and Ohio streets the van was rear-ended by a truck.

No injuries were reported in either vehicle, Boyle said. Another staff member came to the scene to pick up the students and bring them to the district’s office.

Boyle said the van’s rear bumper was dented, but she believed the vehicle was still functional.

The district notified the parents of all students involved, Boyle said.

Breweries CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

But during hearings on the bill last week, officials from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control noted that the 30,000-barrel limit applies to each license, not to the “brand” or group of owners. Therefore, a single company could open a number of establishments with each one producing up to the maximum amount allowed.

The bill was introduced on behalf of Manhattanbased Tallgrass Brewery, whose owners have said they will likely reach the 30,000-barrel limit by the middle of next year.

In the House Federal and State Affairs Committee, Rep. Pete DeGraaf, R-Mulvane, offered a motion to table the bill for a week in order to work on that language. He noted that under federal law, a company that produces more than 60,000 barrels per year is considered a manufacturer and subject to the federal manufacturer’s tax.

He said that by allowing a microbrewery to produce up to 60,000 barrels at multiple locations, Kansas might effectively be giving microbreweries an unfair advantage over

Tax officials warn of new phone scam A recent tax scam has been targeting Kansans over the phone, the Kansas Department of Revenue said in a news release Wednesday.

In the scam victims receive a phone call — showing up on caller ID as 785-296-0671, a valid Department of Revenue number — where the caller notifies them of an outstanding tax debt with the state. The victims are then told either to pay the debt using a debit card or money order, or face jail time.

The callers also tell victims they failed to file a “Form 61,” which does not exist in Kansas, the release said.

Anyone who receives a call asking for money or is unsure of a call’s validity may call the department’s tax customer service line at 785-368-8222.

large manufacturers.

Philip Bradley, a lobbyist for the Craft Brewers Guild of Kansas, told the committee that’s not likely to happen because of the large capital investment it takes to buy the equipment needed to set up a second facility.

Most microbrewers, including Tallgrass, would prefer to simply raise the production limit on their existing facilities.

The majority of the committee, however, voted to move forward with the bill in its present form.

But the Senate committee that is considering an identical bill did not.

Sen. Ralph Ostmeyer, R-Grinnell, who chairs the Senate committee hearing the bills, said his panel will not take action until it can work out compromise language to satisfy both the microbreweries and the beer manufacturers.

Dems introduce proposal to reverse campus carry

A

group of five democratic state senators — including two from Douglas County — is trying to reverse the portion of a law requiring public colleges to allow concealed carry of guns on their campuses starting in July 2017.

Under current law, the personal and family protection act, postsecondary educational institutions are among a handful of entities allowed a fouryear exemption before they must allow guns, like other state and municipal buildings have been required to do for the past few years. That exemption runs out in July 2017.

(Side note: Other entities with the same four-year exemption are medical care facilities, adult care homes, community mental health centers and indigent health care clinics.)

Senate Bill No. 348, introduced Jan. 21, would scratch colleges from the exemption list and, instead, state that the law does not apply at all to postsecondary educational institution buildings, or buildings leased by them.

(Another note: Buildings on the grounds of the Kansas state school for the

Heard on the Hill

deaf or the Kansas state school for the blind are currently the only place the concealed carry law doesn’t apply, according to the legislation.)

The bill was referred Friday to the Committee on Federal and State Affairs. You can track its progress via kslegislature.org.

The bill was introduced by senators Tom Hawk, D-Manhattan; Oletha Faust-Goudeau, DWichita; Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence; Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City; Pat Pettey, D-Kansas City.

Holland said universities should be able to decide whether they want to prohibit guns and not have that decision “forced upon them” by the state.

“Honestly, the schools won’t have enough money to put the proper security machines in place to rectify if they want to keep guns off campus,” he said.

“Once again the state has overreached.”

Francisco said she agreed prohibiting weapons should be an institutional decision.

She added that since only people 21 and older are allowed by law to carry concealed, practically half the people on college campuses would not be allowed to, which she called inconsistent and “disconcerting.”

The Kansas Board of Regents and state university administrators in the meantime aren’t counting on any changes in the law and continue to plan for the arrival of guns on campus beginning in July 2017. The Regents last week passed a statewide policy directing individual schools to create their own, more specific policies, about how the law will be implemented on their respective campuses.

Amendment would make hunting a constitutional right

A

proposed constitutional amendment is pending in the Kansas House that would guarantee the public’s right to engage in hunting, fishing and trapping.

But some officials are warning that it could have far-reaching consequences that could put all of the state’s hunting and fishing regulations under heightened scrutiny by the courts.

The amendment would insert the following language into the Bill of Rights of the Kansas Constitution: “Right of public to hunt, fish and trap wildlife. The people have the right to hunt, fish and trap, including by the use of traditional methods, subject to laws and regulations that promote wildlife conservation and management and that preserve the future of hunting and fishing. Public hunting and fishing shall be a preferred means of managing and controlling wildlife. This section shall not be construed to modify any provision of law relating to trespass, property rights or water resources.”

The resolution was sponsored last year by Reps. Adam Lusker, D-Frontenac, and Travis Couture-Lovelady, R-Palco, who is no longer in the Legislature after resigning last year to take a job as a lobbyist for the National

Rifle Association.

The House Federal and State Affairs Committee heard two days of testimony on the amendment this week.

Mike Murray, a lobbyist for the Kansas Rifle Association, said the amendment is needed because the right of people to hunt, fish and trap is currently threatened by “animal rights groups, off-road vehicle groups, urbanization and decreasing habitat.”

But Rep. Annie Tietze, D-Topeka, who said she supports hunting and fishing rights, questioned whether the state should put language in its constitution taking sides on those issues.

“This was to offset other groups who are anti-hunting,” she said.

“Why should we protect their (hunters’) rights as opposed to rights of others who feel strongly

enough to come together to oppose hunting?”

And while the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and Tourism did not oppose the amendment, its general counsel, Chris Tymeson, said there have been concerns about putting such a right into the constitution because it could subject any laws or regulations that restrict hunting, fishing and trapping rights to what the courts call “strict scrutiny.”

In short, that means the government has to show it has a “compelling state interest” in taking any action that restricts the right, and that the policy is “narrowly tailored” to achieve the government’s objective.

Rep. Dick Jones, RTopeka, said he had concerns about any amendment that would weaken the state’s authority to regulate hunting and manage wildlife.

“The greatest threat to conservation worldwide is poaching,” Jones said.

“We have laws to try and prevent that, but it’s extremely difficult. The prohibitions the state puts up have proven inadequate because of the overwhelming impact of poaching.”

Husband’s problems likely due to wartime trauma Dear Annie: When I met my husband many years ago, he had just returned from Vietnam.

His mind was shaky, and he was a chain smoker and a serious alcoholic.

We have maintained a comfortable, peaceful relationship. I could not tolerate drunkenness, so he stopped. But what seemed left was an unaffectionate, unemotional robot.

He has never hugged me, held my hand or kissed me. Compliments? Never. He never bought a ring for me, which not only is embarrassing but also makes me feel as though I have no value to him.

He is kind to the children, provides meagerly but adequately, and makes no waves. We simply exist. I settled for this and it would hurt too many nice people for me to go my own way.

‘Apocalypse’ is weirdest of the weird We live in strange times. At least on television. Over the past month or so, a number of new series have debuted with a decidedly dark and cosmic tone.

“Colony” (9 p.m., USA, TV14) envisions America taken over by aliens and riddled with collaborators. Over on Fox, a supposedly dirty cop is given a “Second Chance” by a pair of tech geeks playing God, or at least Frankenstein.

“Lucifer” imagines the Prince of Darkness himself, living among us and obsessed with police work. A heaven-sent guardian shares too much and has a drinking problem on “Angel From Hell” (8:30 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

Into this weird mix arrives “You, Me and the Apocalypse” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG), a dramedy/thriller that defies category, and perhaps description.

In one strange way, this British production appears reverse engineered to arrive at the starting point of Tina Fey’s cracked Netflix comedy, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.” As in that series, things begin deep underground in a bunker filled with people believing they’re the only ones to have escaped The End. But while “Unbreakable” follows Kimmy after she sheds her delusions, “Apocalypse” flashes back 34 days to show how everybody arrived underground.

The characters are as diverse as the story is peculiar. Jamie (Mathew Baynton), a boring drone pining for his lost wife, is taken for a dangerous hacker. A meek librarian (Jenna Fischer, “The Office”) is sent to prison for her son’s Edward Snowdenlike transgressions. There she falls into the orbit of a neo-Nazi gang leader, played with gusto

by Megan Mullally, who may have finally found a character even more outrageous than Karen from “Will & Grace.”

A brilliant, beautiful nun, Sister Celine Leonti (Gaia Scodellaro), finds herself assigned to the office of the Vatican’s devil’s advocate, Father Jude, a chain-smoking, foul-mouthed, yet devout, figure portrayed by Rob Lowe, (“Parks and Recreation” and “The Grinder”). Is there anything Rob Lowe can’t do?

“Apocalypse” may not revive NBC’s fortunes. But there’s really nothing else like it on network television.

Tonight’s other highlights O Families get some tough love and sage advice on “Jo Frost: Nanny on Tour” (7 p.m., UP).

O A medieval murder on “The Blacklist” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

O Danny faces police scrutiny and meets Alex’s parents on “London Spy” (9 p.m., BBC America, TV-14).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Jan. 28: This year you open up to many new ideas that seem unconventional, even to you. You will become more tolerant and less judgmental. If you are single, you could pine for someone yet never let him or her know how you feel.

If you are attached, you and your sweetie flourish when left alone to your own devices. The more you get away from the here-andnow, the stronger this bond will become.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ You might decide that the ball is not in your court, and you’ll be right. Tonight: With a special person.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++ You’ve been on cruise control for several days. Others have been impressed by your successes.

Tonight: Take some time off.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ Your endurance will bring you many accolades. Accept all compliments with grace.

Tonight: Enjoy the good life.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++ You will try to reach out to someone over and over, and might not succeed in reaching him or her. Tonight: Share news with a dear friend.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Someone in your day-today environment needs extra car-

morning and return for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner later in the evening after legal hunting hours.

However, if he is unable to compromise and insists on missing holidays, then I suggest that she just go to the relatives without him and enjoy herself without giving him a second thought.

I have to say, the only time I could justify having Christmas postponed would be if an important family member were in the service or in the hospital.

Sounds to me that “Left Out’s” entire marriage might need some professional intervention.

EDITORIALS

Arts leader Susan Tate’s work will have a lasting positive impact on the local arts community.

T

he Lawrence Arts Center has flourished under six years of Susan Tate’s leadership.

Tate, who announced Tuesday that she would leave her post at the end of this year, has been a dynamic CEO willing to look to the future and take on big challenges on behalf of the Arts Center and the community. During her tenure, the Arts Center won some prestigious national grants and undertook some big projects, including the ongoing East Ninth Project. The Free State Festival has grown into a major event, and the Arts Center has become an even more pivotal player in the Lawrence arts scene. Tate was instrumental in establishing the Final Fridays art event in Lawrence and has been involved in many collaborations with other community partners both in and outside the arts.

When longtime executive director Ann Evans retired, the Arts Center board struggled to find the right person to fill the leadership role. After a couple short-term hires, board members decided to think outside the box in their search and turned to Tate, who had taught English and humanities at Lawrence High School for 20 years but had no experience with arts administration.

What she did have was enthusiasm, energy and an extensive knowledge of Lawrence and the audience the Arts Center serves.

When she was hired, Tate called her new position “a dream job.” She embraced the responsibility of managing one of the city’s defining institutions and eagerly took on the challenge of making it even better.

At 53, Tate’s “retirement” is coming a little too soon for many local supporters, but she is leaving the Arts Center in great shape and giving her board ample time to hire her replacement. Board Chairwoman Joan Golden says she’s planning on “being very open” to possible candidates who, like Tate, don’t bring traditional qualifications and experience to the job. At the time, hiring Tate may have seemed like a bit of a risk, but it worked wonderfully for both the Arts Center and the community, We wish Tate well as she pursues new interests and challenges and hope she will continue to play an active role in Lawrence’s arts scene.

Washington — Michael Bloomberg’s epiphany about the 2016 presidential proceedings is that what is missing is a second bossy, big-government billionaire from Manhattan’s East Side — another candidate with malleable party loyalties. Bloomberg, whose net worth estimated by Forbes is $38.6 billion (eighth on the list of richest Americans), is again exploring an independent presidential candidacy.

In 2001, he spent $74 million to become New York’s mayor. He had been a registered Democrat but ran as a Republican to avoid a competitive primary. Re-elected in 2005, he left the GOP and in 2009 won a third term as an independent, spending $102 million — $174 per vote — to eke out a 50.6 percent victory against a negligible opponent. He had persuaded — not a Herculean task — the city council to alter the law, enacted and reaffirmed in two referendums, limiting mayors and city council members to two terms.

“Make no mistake about it,” Bloomberg said then, “I still think term limits are a good thing.” Intermittently.

A Bloomberg presidential run might complete a repudiation trifecta for New York mayors. In 1972, John Lindsay, after three terms in Congress representing the Silk Stocking District on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, was in his second disastrous term as

Most ‘successful’ independent candidates have three things in common — a vivid personality, a burning issue and a regional base. And they lose.” mayor. He had run in 1965 on the Republican and Liberal Party lines. Defeated in the 1969 Republican primary, he won re-election on the Liberal and Fusion lines. In 1971, he sought the Democrats’ 1972 presidential nomination, winning 1.23 percent of the votes cast in primaries.

In September 2007, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani had a 20-point lead in polls for the Republican presidential nomination and a third more money than Mitt Romney and John McCain combined. He was, however, like Donald Trump, thrice married and, like Trump until his various conversions of convenience, favored abortion and gun control. Giuliani left the race Jan. 30, 2008, having spent more than $65

million, having won one delegate (a Nevadan) and having generated one good joke: “Giuliani’s momentum-proof national polling lead, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny all walk into a bar. You’re right. None of them exist.”

As mayor, Bloomberg adequately guided the city through traumatic revenue losses when the Great Recession clobbered Wall Street. He was an energetic education reformer, favoring charter schools, but he did not really try to tame rapacious government employees unions. He dislikes the Second Amendment and large servings of sugary sodas. He likes trickledown progressivism, or what Walter Russell Mead calls “a ‘Downton Abbey’ vision” of America’s future. As mayor, Bloomberg said: “If we can find a bunch of billionaires around the world to move (to the city), that would be a godsend, because that’s where the revenue comes to take care of everybody else.” The perpetually dependent would doff their cloth caps and tug their forelocks, grateful to be taken care of.

Most “successful” independent candidates have three things in common — a vivid personality, a burning issue and a regional base.

And they lose.

Strom Thurmond in 1948 and George Wallace in 1968 had all three and won 39 and 46 electoral votes, respectively. In 1992, Ross Perot had a

sandpapery personality and the deficit issue but he lacked a regional base, so his 18.9 percent of the popular vote won zero electoral votes.

Bloomberg is bland — agreeably so, compared to some of the others — and his issue is who he is not (the others). His base is New York, former incubator of presidents. In 1868, the state had a higher percentage of the nation’s electoral votes than California’s 55 (10.2 percent) are today. Between 1868 and 1948, New Yorkers appeared on more than half of the two major parties’ tickets, and five times won the presidency. However, Americans have not elected a president from the Northeast for 56 years (Massachusetts’ John Kennedy in 1960).

Bloomberg, a self-made billionaire, would be preferable as president to Clinton, who has forfeited the nation’s trust. And to Sanders, who has never run anything larger than the Burlington, Vt., mayor’s office. And to Trump, whose comprehensive ignorance and boundless confidence demonstrate that he does not know what it is to know things. Conservatives, however, remembering Barry Goldwater’s 1964 promise of “A choice, not an echo,” would rightly regard a contest featuring Bloomberg, Trump and Clinton/Sanders as three echoes and no palatable choice.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 28, 1916: “The years members of the ago Lawrence Choral IN 1916 Union decided at their regular rehearsal last night to give another concert in Lawrence before the Easter concert which will come later in the spring. …It was decided to hold the concert because at the time of the first concert in December the bad weather and the prevalence of grippe caused a small attendance.”

I used to consider women pitifully weak and pathetically delicate. For this, I blame Marvel Comics.

As a boy in the 1960s, I was seldom without my nose in one of that company’s fables.

From them, I learned many valuable life lessons: Always lock the portal to the Negative Zone.

Never ignore your spidersense.

Mutants are people, too.

But I also learned that women — “girls,” actually — were like fine china, fragile and decorative. The Avengers, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men all had distaff members, but when the fighting started, the girls usually stood — or were ordered — to the side, if, indeed, they were allowed to go on the mission in the first place.

Yes, occasionally, Marvel Girl would trip a bad guy with her telekinetic powers or the Invisible Girl would throw up a force field to protect her partners. Then they would promptly faint from the exertion. Once revived, they’d start dinner. So the idea of girls in the center of the action would’ve seemed pretty far-fetched to me.

This was a pretty common mindset back in the “Mad Men” era, but you wouldn’t think it’d have much currency post Cagney and Lacey, post Lara Croft, post Ronda Rousey and the Williams sisters. Apparently, some of

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Girls can do anything. That’s something girls need to know. But it is also something boys need to know, even if — especially if — they are resistant to the idea.”

us think otherwise.

Or, to put that another way: Where’s Rey? That’s the hashtag of a Twitter campaign that has exploded in recent weeks.

The Rey in question is no piece of fine china. Rather, she’s a scavenger and a scrapper; she pilots — and repairs — the iconic Millennium Falcon spaceship, and she’s handy with a lightsaber, too. Rey is the undisputed star of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which has earned over $1.9 billion worldwide at the box office.

Yet if you buy the new Star Wars-themed Monopoly game, you won’t find her in it. You’ll find a Darth Vader token, and he’s not even

in the movie, but no Rey. Ditto the Millennium Falcon playset. Ditto a six-pack of movie figurines.

In response to international (yes, international!) umbrage, a spokesperson for the Hasbro toy company told Entertainment Weekly that the character was omitted because her inclusion would have revealed a key plot point. The company said Rey will be featured in the second wave of toys reaching stores this month.

Which may sound reasonable until you remember the same company has faced the same complaints before. In 2014, bloggers were upset that the character Gamora was segregated out of playsets based on the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie.

Last year, the omission of Black Widow from much of the Avengers merchandise was glaring enough for Mark Ruffalo, a star of the films, to tweet a plea for more Widow toys “for my daughters and nieces.”

He’s right, of course. Toys are the medium by which children act out their aspirations and dreams. My granddaughter, Lena, who is 6, regards herself as a princess.

And a superhero. She sees no reason she can’t be both and I want her to have toys that help her maintain that sense of herself as a person to whom all possibilities are open and for whom gender

is no barrier. Girls can do anything. That’s something girls need to know.

But it is also something boys need to know, even if — especially if — they are resistant to the idea. Although frankly, I’m not sure if boys really are resistant or if Hasbro just assumes they are.

You hate to think, after all, that boys who understand a hero can be a sentient tree, a green monster or a shaggy, dog-faced furball, would be stymied by the idea that a hero can be a woman. Surely we have done a better job of teaching our sons that courage has no gender.

OK, maybe that’s something we couldn’t be expected to understand when I was a boy a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

But haven’t we all grown up some since then?

Note: In a recent column, I wrote of the stricken city of Flint, Mich., that it “doesn’t even have a grocery store.”

Several people have since contacted me to dispute that, one of whom even shared a link that seems to indicate that Flint, in fact, has multiple grocery stores. I got my information from Flint Mayor Karen Weaver as quoted

by CNN. I’ve tried twice to reach her office to clear up the discrepancy, but have not been able to get through.

day morning on behalf of KU students.

Separate paper ballots were cast on whether to proceed with impeachment proceedings against each officer. It was announced the majority in each case was not to go forward, but no vote totals were shared.

The complicated attempt to unseat the three leaders stems from diversity issues and involves a lengthy list of grievances against them dating back to last spring.

At the Nov. 18 Student Senate meeting, enough senators’ signatures were collected to advance a bill of impeachment against Pringle, George and Moon. The bill featured a list of 17 reasons — filling five pages — arguing why the three should lose their positions.

The Kansas University Student Senate voted Wednesday night not to move forward with impeachment proceedings against Kansas University Student Body President Jessie Pringle, Vice President Zach George and Chief of Staff Adam Moon.

In defending themselves before the Senate, all three officers said a report from an impeachment committee found no allegations of misconduct against them and that their impeachment would set a dangerous precedent of removing officers from office because of unpopularity.

After the vote, Pringle said she was pleased senators established a higher bar for impeachment and that she would be working in her office Thurs-

Zika virus threatens to hit USA

Alexandro Julio, 1 month old, was born with microcephaly, a brain defect possibly caused by the Zika virus.

Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

U.S. public health officials must prepare now for the inevitable arrival of Zika virus, a mosquitoborne infection that has spread to 22 countries and territories in the Americas and poses particular danger to pregnant women, health experts said.

The virus is linked to an outbreak of birth defects in Brazil.

It is expected to spread to the United States and every country in the Western Hemisphere where the Aedes mosquitoes are known to live, according to the Pan American Health Organization — that’s everywhere but Canada and Chile.

International air travel will help the virus spread quickly, said Lawrence Gostin, director of the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University in Washington.

Zika doesn’t spread from person to person, but people infected while traveling can spread the virus in the USA if they are bitten by local mosquitoes, which then may spread the infection here.

Zika “will certainly come to the United States, and I think it will come fairly rapidly,” Gostin said.

Mosquitoes carry disease linked to increase in birth defects in Brazil Scientists have known about the Zika virus since the 1940s, but it was not considered a serious threat until a few months ago when Brazil reported an large increase in babies born with microcephaly, a fetal defect that results in small heads and incomplete brain development.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a travel alert, warning pregnant women to avoid travel to the 21 countries where Zika is spreading.

Researchers at the National Institute of Health are working on a vaccine.

President Obama met Tuesday with health and national security teams to discuss Zika’s spread and its potential economic and developmental mpact.

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the United States could see a small cluster of Zika cases but would probably be able to contain them, just as it has contained recent outbreaks of dengue fever and chikungunya, tropical diseases spread by the same mosquito that carries Zika.

“We’ve been able to put the lid on those mild outbreaks, with mosquito control and elimination,” Fauci said.

The mosquito-borne virus is new to the Western Hemisphere, but it already has spread to several countries.

Bush, Clinton only candidates to disclose names of bundlers Fredreka Schouten @fschouten USA TODAY

ZIKA VIRUS

Donald Trump and his rivals spent Wednesday debating his decision to skip Thursday night’s presidential debate.

Trump and aides defended his boycott, while other Republicans mocked the GOP front-runner for looking weak. Late Wednesday, the Trump campaign announced a “Special Event to Benefit Veterans Organizations” to be held at Drake University in Des Moines — at the same time as Thursday’s Des Moines debate.

Political funding pockets remain mystery

Trump’s decision to sit out forum triggers ridicule — and questions whether front-runner has made his first big flub

TERRY BYRNE AND PAUL TRAP, USA TODAY

Republican Jeb Bush and Democrat Hillary Clinton have released the names of the financiers, philanthropists, political strategists and the hundreds of other wealthy supporters who raised money for their presidential campaigns.

It doesn’t look like other presidential candidates will join them anytime soon.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who has drawn support in recent months from key Republican fundraisers such as hedge funder Paul Singer, has not released his bundlers’ names.

Campaign officials “disclose what we’re required to,” spokesman Alex Conant said in an email this week.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who is battling Donald Trump for first place in Iowa’s GOP caucuses, told CNN last year he would release fundraisers’ names and do so on “our own timetable.”

This week, Cruz spokesman Brian Phillips said “no decision has been made yet” on disclosing those names.

Federal law doesn’t require candidates to release bundlers’ names and how much they collect unless they are federal lobbyists and raise at least $17,600. Several candidates have opted to do so over the years, including President Obama, George W. Bush and 2008 Republican nominee John McCain.

Campaign-finance watchdogs say seeing a full list of fundraisers helps voters understand the people and industries upon whom candidates rely for campaign dollars.

Candidates for federal office cannot collect more than $2,700 from an individual donor for the primary election. As a result, they lean heavily on volunteer fundraisers, known as “bundlers,” to gather money from friends, relatives and associates to remain competitive.

Although super PACs can raise unlimited amounts to boost favored candidates, they are barred from coordinating their advertising spending directly with campaigns.

Candidates generally use their own campaign dollars to pay for the staff and travel required to run a presidential campaign.

Swiss banks must pay $1.3B for aiding U.S. tax evaders Account holders’ data also divulged Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

The U.S. crackdown on Swiss banks suspected of helping American clients evade taxes by hiding income offshore has imposed more than $1.3 billion in penalties on 80 banks in settlements involving upward of 34,000 accounts that held as much as $48 billion.

The U.S. Department of Justice

on Wednesday announced the penalty total as prosecutors disclosed the final non-prosecution agreement with Swiss banks. The banks came forward and negotiated settlements after they faced a Dec. 31, 2013, deadline to resolve potential criminal liability for their involvement with secret U.S.-linked accounts.

Along with paying the penalties, 80 Swiss banks agreed to cooperate with any related criminal or civil proceedings.

“Through this initiative, we have uncovered those who help facilitate evasion schemes and those who hide funds in secret offshore accounts,” Attorney

ANDREW HARRER, BLOOMBERG

Attorney General Loretta Lynch says offshore accounts were targeted.

General Loretta Lynch said in a statement announcing completion of the current phase of the ongoing U.S. crackdown.

Investigators are still pursuing potential criminal conduct by ac-

count holders and referring some matters to the IRS for civil enforcement. Overall, more than 54,000 taxpayers have come clean during the U.S. crackdown and paid more than $8 billion in taxes, interest and penalties, said David Horton, an IRS official.

Other tax evaders should come forward, said Acting Assistant Attorney General Caroline Ciraolo, who heads DOJ’s tax division.

“The window to get to us before we get to you is rapidly closing,” she said.

Separately, U.S. criminal investigations continue into financial institutions whose Swiss banking-related activity was already

known to prosecutors before the settlement program began.

The crackdown started more than seven years ago and made headlines in 2009 when UBS agreed to pay $780 million in penalties and turn over account information for thousands of Americans the Swiss banking giant helped duck the IRS. That case, along with the just-completed effort, shattered Switzerland’s tradition of keeping account information private.

“To call Switzerland a wasteland of bank secrecy is probably an understatement at this point,” said Jeffrey Neiman, a former federal prosecutor.

VOICES

Caucuses are gut-check time in Iowa Steve Strauss

Special for USA TODAY

Right now, there are hundreds of young, idealistic political operatives from both parties strewn across Iowa, committed to trying to make a difference in next Monday’s all-important Iowa caucuses.

In all likelihood, they won’t.

Take it from me, I know. Long ago, in a different campaign and different time, I was one of those young, idealistic activists. And, while the operative word is “was” (being neither young nor idealistic nor politically active any longer save for voting), it was the Iowa caucus that ripped that middle adjective away.

In the fall of 1983, I was your prototypical 25-year-old, not unlike a lot of the people tramping across Iowa right now — a tad short on money, fueled by a certain Ronald Reagan shiningcity–on-a-hill/Bobby Kennedyesque view of politics ... and trying my best to put off getting a real job.

So when a dean at my alma mater, UCLA, called and asked if I would be interested in going to Iowa to be part of then-California senator Alan Cranston’s nascent campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, I jumped at the chance and packed up my 240Z. Go east, young man.

I was to become part of Cran-

People sell items outside a Donald Trump rally in Marshalltown, Iowa. The Iowa caucuses will be held Monday. ston’s vaunted Iowa “organization.” The senator’s edge in the campaign, according to pundits and party alike, was that he had a vastly superior organization in Iowa. This political machine was going to allow Cranston to compete with the Democratic frontrunner, former vice president Walter Mondale.

This much-trumpeted belief — that the candidate with the best organizational strength has the best chance to win Iowa — remains prevalent in American political punditry.

It is also wrong.

For example, on the Republi-

Picking the national front-runner is a serious business, and Iowans take it seriously.

can side, it is the Jeb Bush campaign that is betting the ranch that a superior ground game will change his fortunes. “Advisers to Jeb Bush told donors on a (recent) conference call that ... their field organization would help them beat expectations in both Iowa and New Hampshire,” CBS News reported in January. Said David Kochel, Bush’s chief strategist, “A tie tends to go to the team with the best ground game.”

Breaking news: Organizational strength means diddlysquat in Iowa. Having a political machine in Iowa simply means that you hired more out-of-work, twentysomething political science majors than the other guy, or gal.

Back in 1984, I was in charge of Cerro Gordo County, in the northernmost part of Iowa. It was, in retrospect, a lost cause, being located a mere 35 miles from Mondale’s home state of Minnesota. But that didn’t deter Cranston’s crack Cerro Gordo organization (my girlfriend and me and a few other slackers), and so we spent eight weeks calling supporters (who didn’t care what we had to say), meeting with our “precinct leaders” (three retired folks with nothing better to do), and only occasionally driving off icy roads into snow banks (twice, actually.)

On the night of the caucus, Iowans gather in a neighbor’s home, or the local gym or library. At my caucus, people munched on cookies, drank coffee and shared their reasons for this candidate or that position.

After some polite Midwestern

conversation, it was time to vote.

Each candidate’s supporters were told to go stand in a different part of the room.

This was it, the moment of truth.

Three people walked over to Cranston’s corner. Three.

When I tried to tell people why the senator deserved more votes, I was politely but firmly told, “Young fella, we don’t need no California kids coming in and telling us how to vote. We’ve done this a few times.” I backed off, watched and listened some more, and then tried again. This time, they weren’t so nice about it. Lacking the requisite 15% needed to be tallied, Cranston’s few supporters wandered over to other parts of the room.

And just like that, the Iowa caucus was over (and so too, little did I know, was my political “career.”)

Cranston lost in Iowa (finishing fifth, behind “uncommitted”), limped into New Hampshire, lost again and soon dropped out. We, his once-ballyhooed organization, scattered to other campaigns, or home. It was two months before I received my last paycheck.

Picking the national frontrunner is a serious business, and Iowans take it seriously. But they do not make their decision because of a candidate’s political machine, or money, or grandiosity. It’s a more visceral gut check, which is, in retrospect, not a bad thing, not a bad thing at all.

After Oval Office meeting, Sanders lauds Obama legacy Senator downplays suggestion Obama favors Clinton Gregory Korte USA TODAY

Emerging from the West Wing after a 45-minute meeting with President Obama on Wednesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders dismissed the notion of any distance between his agenda and President Obama’s legacy.

Sanders said the meeting was intended to get him up to speed on a wide array of current issues, and touched on “foreign policy, domestic issues and occasionally a little bit of politics.” But just as importantly, the meeting seemed designed to banish any perception that Obama was giving a nod toward former secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the Democratic campaign for president.

The Vermont senator tried to downplay any suggestion that Obama is putting his finger on the scale for his former secretary of State, saying, Obama and Vice President Biden have been as “even-handed as possible.”

Obama has professed his neutrality in the Democratic primary process. But in an interview with Glenn Thrush of The Politico, Obama also suggested that Clinton doesn’t get enough credit as an “idealistic and progressive” candidate. “I think that what Hillary presents is a recognition that translating values into gover nance and delivering the goods is ultimately the job of politics, making a real-life difference to people in their day-to-day lives,” Obama said.

WASHINGTON

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont says President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have been as “even-handed as possible.”

And for his part, Sanders made clear that he’s not laying the problems of income inequality on Obama’s doorstep.

“It’s also important to remember how far we’ve come in the last seven years under the leadership of President Obama,” he told reporters outside the White House.

“He has taken on unprecedented Republican obstructionism and tried to do his best for the American people.”

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama isn’t endorsing either candidate but likes the energy Sanders is bringing to the campaign. “It’s good for the Democratic party to have such a robust debate going on about who should be our party’s nominee,” he said. “And in the context of that debate, Sen. Sanders has had great success engaging ... a large segment of the Democratic party.”

Earnest said Obama also probably enjoyed talking politics. “I anticipate there was an opportunity for the president to reminisce about his own experience campaigning,” he said.

Denmark fans celebrating their team’s win at Sunday’s European handball championships, also can celebrate Denmark’s perceived rank as the world’s least corrupt country.

Corruption: Denmark, N. Korea are opposites Perceptions index puts USA at 16th Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

Denmark may not have a lot in common with North Korea and Somalia but all three nations placed first in their respective categories on the 2015 Corruption Perceptions Index released Wednesday by Transparency International, a Berlin-based organization that tracks perceived levels of public sector fraud and dishonesty worldwide.

BERLIN

For the second year running Denmark, the index showed, is the country with especially “high levels of press freedom; access to budget information so the public knows where money comes from and how it is spent; high levels of integrity among people in power; and judiciaries that don’t differentiate between rich and poor, and that are truly independent from other parts of government.”

North Korea and Somalia, were the joint worst performers. The United States was 16th out of 167 nations, its best showing since the survey began in 1995.

Not a single country in the world is corruption-free, accord-

Some 68% of nations have what Transparency International calls a “serious problem with corruption,” meaning the high-level abuse of power that benefits the few at the expense of the many is especially pronounced in more than two-thirds of countries worldwide.

sponded to the boycott by challenging the businessman to a one-on-one debate, creating a website called “Ducking Donald” and selling hats saying, “Make Trump Debate Again.”

“Show up for the job interview if you’d actually like the job,” Cruz told supporters.

Trump, who has questioned the Canadian-born Cruz’s eligibility for the presidency, responded with a Twitter taunt: “Even though I beat him in the first six debates, especially the last one, Ted Cruz wants to debate me

again. Can we do it in Canada?”

Trump “understands when a bad deal is in front of him and is ready to walk away from a bad deal,” campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. There is a precedent for Trump’s boycott. Ronald Reagan skipped an Iowa debate during the 1980 campaign. He lost that year’s caucuses to George H.W. Bush.

The boycott decision stems from Trump’s feud with Fox News and Megyn Kelly after the first Republican debate in August when Kelly questioned Trump about his statements on women.

ROBERT DEUTSCH, USA TODAY

Trump claims Kelly is biased.

Fox defended Kelly and said the businessman could not dictate the terms of the debate.

On The O’Reilly Factor Wednesday night, Trump stood

his ground about skipping the debate as host Bill O’Reilly tried to convince him otherwise. O’Reilly said Americans “need to see you.”

Trump said he had been mistreated by Kelly. “I have zero respect for Megyn Kelly,” he said.

O’Reilly suggested that Trump, if elected, would need to stop taking attacks personally. “Would you say that right now that Donald Trump is a person who can let petty things — and that’s what I think this is all about — petty things influence him to the extent that he doesn’t do what maybe he should do?” O’Reilly asked.

“I don’t like being taken advan-

tage of,” Trump said. “If I’m representing the country as president ...

I’m not going to let our country be taken advantage of.”

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who is third in many polls, hit Trump and Cruz for their “theatrics,” saying they detract from the Republicans’ goal of defeating Hillary Clinton: “We don’t have time for these kinds of distractions.”

On Twitter, Jeb Bush wrote Tuesday, “Do you know who else is scared of tough qs from Fox & @megynkelly? Barack Obama.

Enough whining.”

Vietnam chooses new status quo leader Communist regime ends power struggle Thomas Maresca

Special for USA TODAY

Vietnam’s communist regime ended an unprecedented internal power struggle Wednesday by deciding to stick to the status quo over a more reform-minded challenger.

Vietnam’s National Party Congress, meeting behind closed doors, concluded a week of deliberations by naming ruling Communist Party General-Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, 71, to another five-year term, the official Vietnam News Agency announced.

Trong, who represents the conservative wing of the party, prevailed over current Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, 66, a reformer who had angled for general-secretary, the most powerful post in the one-party state.

Although the party congress met in secret, word leaked out about the deliberations and became fodder for many Vietnamese political blogs with such names as Dan Luan (People’s Comments), Dan Lam Bao (Citizens Being Journalists) and Vuot Tuong Lua (Beyond the Firewall).

Jonathan London, a Vietnam scholar at City University in Hong Kong, called the infighting “unprecedented in the history of Vietnam. ... It was quite tense.”

The reappointment of Trong, who met with President Obama during a state visit to Washington last July, represents a victory for the cautious, leadership-by-consensus approach that Vietnam has historically taken.

The decision to stay the course comes as Vietnam seeks to maintain a strong economy, which grew 6.7% last year. It was its best performance in five years, as foreign investment reached an alltime high of $14.5 billion.

MILITIA LEADER URGES FOLLOWERS TO LEAVE Sheriff says that ‘there doesn’t have to be bloodshed’ Gordon Friedman and Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

BURNS , ORE .

Oregon militia leader Ammon Bundy is urging his followers at a wildlife refuge near Burns, Ore., to leave, CNN and KATU reported Wednesday night.

Bundy’s lawyer, Mike Arnold, read a statement

by Bundy, arrested Tuesday, on the steps of a courthouse in Portland, the news organizations reported.

“We need to step back,” Arnold said in the statement. “Somebody died yesterday.”

Arnold was referring to the death of one protester that took place as federal and state authorities arrested Bundy and seven more at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Bundy and the protesters had holed up there since Jan. 2, protesting for ranchers’ rights. Authorities said the arrests came after futile efforts to end the standoff peacefully for 25 days.

Bundy’s reported request came after mounting pressure from authorities for the protesters to abandon the site.

“They have chosen to threaten and intimidate the America they profess to love and through their criminal actions bring these consequences upon themselves,” said Greg Bretzing, FBI special agent in charge, said earlier Wednesday.

statement before reporters, Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward spoke directly to the remaining half-dozen holdouts at the refuge.

“It is time for everybody in this illegal occupation to move on,” Ward said, stopping periodically to regain his composure. “There doesn’t have to be bloodshed in our community. (When) we have issues with the way things are in our government, we have a responsibility as citizens to act on them in an appropriate manner. We don’t arm up, we don’t rebel. We work through the appropriate channels. This can’t happen anymore, this can’t happen in America, and it can’t happen in Harney County.”

The brief statements by the FBI, sheriff and federal prosecutor came one day after law enforcement officers stopped a group of the protesters at a roadblock about 20 miles north of the refuge.

Arizona resident Robert “LaVoy” Finicum, 56, the soft-spoken but defiant co-leader of the protest group, was shot and

killed.

Officials refused to provide details, but his identity was confirmed by his family and reported

by The Oregonian and NBC News.

Meanwhile, several members of a self-styled militia continued to defy authorities and maintain their occupation of the federal facility.

Bretzing told reporters the occupiers had “ample opportunity” to end their takeover. “Actions are not without consequences,” he said.

Ward said officials might have been able to wait longer to move against the protesters if they had not “created a lot of stress” in the community.

“Some of these folks have spent a lot of time in town trying to stir up issues in the community,” he said. “It has been tearing our community apart.”

Bretzing said those who are still occupying the refuge and want to leave can do so through checkpoints where they will be identified.

He also said they can call the negotiators by phone to discuss any questions they have.

In the confrontation Tuesday afternoon, Ryan Bundy, brother of the ringleader, Ammon Bundy, received a minor gunshot wound at the roadblock along U.S. 395, according to The Oregonian. He was treated and released from a local hospital and taken into FBI custody.

The group’s two-car caravan was stopped as they were headed to a community meeting in the town of John Day.

The Justice Department and city of Ferguson, Mo., have reached a tentative agreement to revamp the city’s troubled police operation by altering the agency’s deadly force policies, requiring new ethics training and recruiting a more diverse officer rank, municipal and Justice officials said Wednesday.

The proposal, which must be ratified by the Ferguson City Council, comes 10 months after the Justice Department’s denouncement of racially biased policing in the city detailed in a report that was prompted by the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man, by white officer Darren Wilson. No criminal charges were filed against Wilson, who has since left the department.

The agreement would, in part, revise the police department’s use of force policies with an emphasis “toward de-escalation and avoiding force — particularly deadly force — except where necessary,” according to a Justice letter to city officials, outlining the broad terms of the agreement.

Dewshine cocktail proves fatal for teens Nicole Young The Tennessean

A second Greenbrier teen has died and two more received medical treatment after officials said they drank homemade dewshine, a mixture of Mountain Dew and racing fuel, last week.

On Thursday, authorities were called to the home of Logan Stephenson, 16, who was found dead in his bed.

Within minutes, they were called to a second home because the boy’s best friend had begun having seizures, Greenbrier Police Chief K.D. Smith said.

Authorities have not released the identity of the second teen, but Smith confirmed Tuesday that the medical examiner’s office had notified his department of the second teen’s death that morning.

Since Stephenson’s death, two other teens have come forward, claiming they drank a similar substance, Smith said.

Four cases from Robertson County have been recorded with the Tennessee Poison Center at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, according to Medical Director Donna Seger.

Two of the teens were treated and released from two different emergency departments, Seger said.

Stocks go south as Fed stays put

FIRST TAKE

MONEYLINE NEW-HOME SALES SOAR 10.8% IN DECEMBER Americans rushed to buy new homes in December at the strongest pace in 10 months, a sign of the positive momentum carrying the housing market in 2016. The Commerce Department says new-home sales surged 10.8% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 544,000.

It was the third consecutive monthly gain since sales collapsed in September. Sales of new homes accelerated sharply in 2015, rising 14.5% on the entire year. Steady job growth that cut the unemployment rate to a healthy 5% has given many home buyers increased confidence, and relatively low mortgage rates improved affordability. The median newhome sales price has fallen 4.3% from a year ago to $288,900.

Chief product officer Chris Cox told Bloomberg Business it will roll out Reactions worldwide “in the next few weeks.” Facebook revealed in October it was testing Reactions, six emoji-like responses allowing users to express a range of emotions beyond liking a post or status update. Reactions include “haha,” “yay” and “wow.” The addition of Reactions will give users ways to express an opinion on a post instead of likes, which may not feel appropriate for some personal updates.

It’s unclear how many cards or restaurant locations may have been affected.

THUMBS UP! FACEBOOK TAKES APPLE’S MANTLE But social media giant knows Silicon Valley Teflon runs in cycles Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Another quarter, another conquest.

If it sounds like a broken record, it’s because Facebook continues to do just that — break financial records.

Wednesday, it reported a whopping $5.84 billion in its fiscal fourth-quarter revenue, up 52% from the same three-month period a year ago, and its first $1 billion quarterly profit (79 cents per share). The financial performance bested the projections of analysts polled by S&P Capital IQ, who expected $5.4 billion in revenue and earnings of 68 cents per share.

By any measure — mobile user growth or advertising revenue — Facebook is proving to be the template for Silicon Valley success story in the face of a roiling worldwide economy. While Apple CEO Tim Cook cautions of “extreme conditions” in Brazil, Russia and other markets, Facebook has retained its sheen.

For the past decade, Apple was the valley’s Teflon company, racking up record sales and profits that sent its market valuation into orbit. It was a phenomenal run that was a testament to compelling products, astute management and calculated risk-taking.

Yet with Apple facing a slowdown in iPhone sales and its topsecret car project stuck in neutral, there is considerable angst over the company’s near future, reflected in a stock nosedive of nearly 7% on Wednesday.

million advertisers and is expected to haul in $9.9 billion in display ad revenue this year, extending its lead in the U.S. market, by percentage, to 31%, according to market researcher eMarketer.

Facebook has extended its tentacles into virtual reality, messaging and photo-sharing — and thus expanded its marketing and financial horizons — through canny acquisitions that at the time were questioned as being too pricey. (Exhibit A: Its $19 billion purchase of mobile-messaging service WhatsApp in early 2014.)

Photo-sharing site Instagram, called Facebook’s “story of the year” by RBC Capital analyst Mark Mahaney, is likely to ring up $2.4 billion in ad revenue in 2017, eMarketer says. Facebook snapped up Instagram for $1 billion in 2012.

Facebook’s success in drawing large crowds has endeared it to marketers and advertisers, and for good reason.

The social network’s dominance in mobile grew: Monthly active members accessing Facebook via a mobile device soared to 1.59 billion in its recently-completed fiscal fourth quarter, or 90% of its members. That’s more than the most-populous country, China, with 1.3 billion people.

Twitter, by comparison, has 320 million members.

Facebook isn’t likely to rest on its digital laurels.

It has big plans for virtual reality. The first headsets from Oculus, the VR pioneer Facebook acquired for $2 billion in 2014, are scheduled to ship in March.

By the end of the year, SunTrust analysts expect Facebook to sell 3 million of them for $1.8 billion.

Before handing the tech crown to Facebook, however, remember that the stock market can paint tech companies with the same brush, regardless of their stellar past quarter: Facebook shares are down 8% this year, just a bit better than the Nasdaq Composite.

NEW YORK A new government report to Congress warns of rising threats to U.S. financial stability, including the looming risk of surging corporate loan defaults.

While big banks and other systemically important financial institutions have been steadily reducing their risks since the financial crisis, debt among nonfinancial companies is at an historic high relative to U.S. gross domestic product, the Office of Financial Research, an independent unit of the U.S. Treasury Department, said Wednesday in its annual report to Congress.

Slowing economic growth,

therefore, could hurt companies’ ability to repay their loans and lead to a tidal wave of defaults, warned the OFR, which was mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act to study financial stability following the financial crisis.

This, in turn, could hurt banks, which are already seeing loans to

energy companies sour due to severe declines in oil prices.

In its fourth annual report to Congress, the OFR warned of other looming threats to the financial system, including concerns that persistently low interest rates could prompt investors to seek out riskier investments, which “may encourage excessive borrowing.”

The U.S. economy has remained largely resilient to the global slowdown so far, OFR said.

“But continued or magnified problems overseas could harm future growth and financial stability in the United States.”

“Profits are declining, debt levels are high, and the ability to pay down or pay off their debts is declining,” the research agency warned.

Stocks dove sharply after the Federal Reserve signaled Wednesday that it has not ruled out another interest rate hike at its March meeting despite noting that it is “closely monitoring” recent turbulence in financial markets and the global economy.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 223 points, or 1.4%, to 15,945. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 lost 1.1%, and the Nasdaq composite suffered a 2.2% drop. All three major stock gauges surpassed earlier lows reached in the morning.

Wall Street had been hoping the Fed would use its post-meeting January policy statement to send a different message: that it would, in effect, dial back the prospect for a rate hike at its March meeting and lower the likelihood of four quarter-point hikes in total for the year.

But the Fed didn’t go that far or wasn’t “dovish” enough, disappointing investors who responded by dumping stocks as the question marks related to Fed policy remained open.

Wall Street might have had unrealistic expectations that the Fed would rule out a March rate hike or veer early from its stated hope to do four quarter-point rate hikes in 2016, says Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Boston Private Wealth.

“The policy statement was pretty neutral,” Pavlik says. “It leaves the door open to a rate hike in March, and that is what the market is concerned about.

The market wanted some reassurance that it was not going to happen, and it didn’t get that from the Fed statement.”

Like many Wall Street pros, Ryan Larson, head of equity trading at RBC Global Asset Management, thought it made more sense for the Fed to signal a pause, given all the market turbulence to kick off the new year.

“It would be prudent for the Fed to pause for a few meetings” to assess the impact of global growth fears and the volatile energy patch on markets, he said.

The Dow and S&P 500 were slightly positive leading into the announcement and turned negative a few minutes later. The Nasdaq, down for most of the day, sank lower as well.

The Fed, which raised rates off zero in December, has said it is looking to add an additional four quarter-point hikes this year. But that pace now seems aggressive to Wall Street given the market volatility and slowing growth at the start of 2016. And the fact the Fed did not more clearly signal a less aggressive rate-hike timetable was enough to stamp out hopes of a relief rally.

It’s not just NCAA hoopsters that will be dealing with March Madness. Wall Street will, too.

The Federal Reserve made sure of that Wednesday when it kept interest rates unchanged at the end of its two-day January meeting, but used language in its closely parsed policy statement that left open the possibility it could hike short-term rates for the second time since December when it reconvenes in March.

Wall Street didn’t react kindly to the news, pushing the Dow Jones industrial average down more than 200 points Wednesday. Even thought the Fed said it was watching developments in the global economy and financial markets, which have turned in-

Facebook proves pricey and may go up even more Q: Should I ‘like’ Facebook?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Investors watching the rise of Facebook shares might think they’ve missed the big gains. But the No. 1 social media company is showing why it’s the real deal — and also an expensive stock.

The company late Wednesday reported 50% higher adjusted quarterly profit a share of 79 cents, blowing away estimates by 16%, S&P Capital IQ says. Revenue also blew away estimates by nearly 9% to hit $5.8 billion. All this while some other big tech companies are seeing their growth stall and are blaming worldwide economic softness. That’s impressive given that on average, companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 are seen as posting lower revenue during the fourth quarter. The trouble for investors is that Facebook’s growth isn’t a total surprise. Shares of the company are up 29% over the past year, closing at $94.45 — blowing away the 6% decline in the S&P 500 during the same time.

The problem is Facebook shares aren’t cheap. The stock trades for roughly 90 times the company’s earnings over the past 12 months, which is well above the broad market’s 17.7 trailing P-E. Facebook’s P-E is a pricey three times higher than its expected long-term growth rate. Despite the valuation, analysts still think the stock will be worth 33% more in 18 months, S&P Capital IQ says.

McDonald’s hopes chocolate fries spark turnaround in Japan Kirk Spitzer @kirkspitzer USA TODAY

TOKYO Maybe McChoco Potato — french fries with chocolate sauce — will help.

McDonald’s Japan, the largest burger chain in the nation, is closing restaurants, lowering prices and rolling out new — and some odd — menu items as it looks to halt years of plummeting sales and declining popularity.

Its troubles can be blamed on everything from food safety scandals to the shrinking population

CHRISTOPHER JUE, GETTY IMAGES

Along with chocolate french fries, McDonald’s Japan also offers “taco rice” ( just what it sounds like).

of its core customers, young people. The company has reported losses for each quarter since mid-2014 and a net loss of $19.4 million in the first nine months of 2015. That’s the worst result for the period since McDonald’s Japan went public in 2001.

Its problems are worsening even as the parent company is showing signs of reversing lagging sales. The number of McDonald’s restaurants in Japan dropped to 2,975 in November, down nearly 24% from its peak in 2002. The company plans to close at least 190 more restaurants by the end of January, mostly in city centers.

McDonald’s Corp., the U.S. parent company, owns about 50% of the Japan unit and is considering selling about a third of its stake to outside investors.

The recent turmoil has followed a rash of headline-grabbing food safety and service problems.

In July 2014, McDonald’s and other fast food chains in Japan acknowledged using expired meat from a supplier in China. A month later, a customer found a tooth — presumably human — in an order of french fries. Pieces of plastic were found in Chicken McNuggets delivered from a plant in Thailand.

Even when things went right, they went wrong: For much of 2014, orders of French fries were limited to small sizes because of shipping problems from the United States. The launch of a new product developed solely for the Japan market — tofu nuggets — backfired when shops across Japan overcharged for them.

In health conscious and service-obsessed Japan, such foulups are seen as inexcusable. The troubles helped speed a defection of customers to competitors, mostly locally owned fast-food chains and even Japan’s ubiquitous convenience stores.

Imagine what the Coast Guard was up against during the Jonas blizzard.

Those were the icy stakes one night in 1952, when a small wooden Coast Guard boat went out in the middle of a monster Nor’easter to rescue men aboard a halved oil tanker.

“They all should have died,” says Chris Pine, who plays coxswain Bernie Webber in The Finest Hours (in theaters Friday).

“Yet they didn’t. I just think that says a lot about our capacity. Our capacity for great evil, obviously, just look at the papers. Or incredible things.”

On that night, Webber’s bravery met Ray Sybert’s ingenuity.

The oil tanker’s chief engineer (played by Casey Affleck) managed to keep his sinking tanker upright for hours in the storm, despite dwindling power. When Webber’s boat arrived, 32 men were saved, with 60-foot waves crashing around them.

Pine, 35, and Affleck, 40, share the spotlight in The Finest Hours but worked together only a handful of days. It turns out their common de- CLAIRE FOLGER, DISNEY nominator is Ben Affleck, whom Pine met on one of his first big films, 2006’s Smokin’ Aces. “I had to sit on top of his chest and manipulate his mouth while he was playing dead,” Pine says as Ben’s brother laughs. “He was a sweetheart.”

In reality, the ocean “scares me a little bit,” says Affleck, who says his closest call was aboard a small stalled boat in Costa Rica while on vacation.

“It was far enough out you couldn’t see land,” he says. “Your mind starts churning what the possibilities could be. You’re instantly panicked. Thinking sharks, dehydration, death.”

Pine nods. While spending a recent holiday in Tulum, Mexico, with friends, he took a brief ocean journey. “The ocean looked fine when we took off,” he says. Twenty minutes out, “I saw the most dense deep-blue storm coming. It got so real. The force of Mother Nature in those moments is pretty terrifying.”

LOS ANGELES

“They all should have died,” says Chris Pine, whose character sets out to rescue an oil tanker’s chief engineer (Casey Affleck) and his crew on their stricken vessel in The Finest Hours.

Both stars are hitting their stride in Hollywood. Affleck is making waves at Sundance Film Festival with his starring role in Manchester By the Sea. Later this year, he plans to direct his brother-in-law, Joaquin Phoenix, in their first dual effort since the maligned mockumentary I’m Still Here.

Their new project, Far Bright Star, “is sort of the other end of the spectrum,” he says, a Western set in 1916 charting Pancho Villa’s attack on Columbus, N.M., and the small group of Americans (including Phoenix) who chase him below the border.

CLAIRE FOLGER, DISNEY

Webber (Pine) plunges into a catastrophic Nor’easter on a mission of mercy.

Pine has hopped from one big project to the next, from Wonder Woman (filming now) to Star Trek Beyond (out July 22), his third turn playing Captain Kirk.

“They’ve become my family,” he says of the cast.

Affleck jumps in. “Does (Star Trek) feel different without J.J. Abrams?” he asks.

After Abrams exited the Star Trek franchise for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, “it feels like Dad left and the kids have taken over the house,” Pine says. “It’s a lot of fun. ... There’s a lot of speed to this one. It moves at a pace that I don’t think the other ones have.”

‘Kung Fu Panda’ could use some new moves But star Jack Black still kicks some fun into the franchise

Compiled by Patrick Ryan

Po knows kung fu.

It’s just that the rotund “skadoosh!”ing animated bear has a lot to learn about teaching it.

Kung Fu Panda 3 (eeg out of four; rated PG; in theaters Friday nationwide), the latest in the kidfriendly animated martial-arts franchise directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson and Alessandro Carloni, continues to explore the parentage of wide-bodied “Dragon Warrior” Po — again voiced with infectiously quirky glee by Jack Black.

The movie’s story and cute characters are geared toward the younger crowd, per usual. But while it lacks the wonder and nuance of earlier Pandas, there are enough new faces and wowing, Asian-influenced style to also keep parents amused for an hour and a half.

Exuberant but still pretty clueless, the giant panda at the heart of the saga is forced into an uncomfortable position: His master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) has deREVIEW BRIAN TRUITT

Po (voiced by Jack Black) has his world shaken up when his long-lost panda father, Li (Bryan Cranston), enters the picture. cided to hand over his classes to Po, a move that dumbfounds the big guy as well as his pals in the Furious Five: Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Viper (Lucy Liu), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Mantis (Seth Rogen) and Crane (David Cross).

On the heels of this news comes another roundhouse kick to the face: Po’s long-lost biological father, Li (Bryan Cranston), shows up looking for him, and he wants Po to visit his secret village full of dumpling-downing, noodle-snarfing pandas just like him.

Suffice it to say, this doesn’t sit well with Po’s adoptive goose dad, Mr. Ping (James Hong).

Three films of the same plot — Po deals with identity issues, followed by a monster villain coming to threaten the overall world of kung fu animals — gets a little tired for anyone other than the youngest Panda fan, though at least the new baddie is J.K. Simmons. He puts a humorous spin on his Whiplash heavy as the voice of Kai, a bullish beast of vengeance who’s stealing the chi

of all the Chinese martial arts gurus and turning them into an army of jade soldiers.

His rampage forces Po to embrace the eye of the tiger — or panda, as it were — and train Li’s village of round-faced eager bears. Kate Hudson has a nice turn as Mei Mei, a ribbon-wielding lady panda who has been promised to Po since they were kids as part of an arranged marriage, though it’s the precocious little cubs in the reclusive panda community who steal most of the scenes featuring Po and his furry people.

Aside from the sheer craziness of a chubby bear doing sweet karate moves, Black is still the main attraction of Kung Fu Panda — his manic personality so matches that of Po’s at this point that they seem to be interchangeable, something that can’t be said for other animated franchises.

The focus on the movie’s bear necessities, however, takes away from the potential of the other characters, especially Hoffman’s adorably testy old Shifu. A prequel with him, or shared tales with Po or other Kung Fu regulars, could give these movies some needed kick for a long time.

CITY SHOWDOWN WRESTLING

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Initial KU-UK meeting was one to forget Jerry Waugh remembers well the moments leading up to the first basketball game between traditional college basketball powers Kansas and Kentucky on Dec. 16, 1950, in Lexington.

Phog Allen coached Kansas; his former player, Adolph Rupp, coached Kentucky. Three of KU’s starters from that game, Bill Hougland, Bill Lienhard and Waugh, live in Lawrence.

“We came in after warmups, and Doc had a training table set up in the middle of the dressing room under a couple of lights,” Waugh said of Allen. “The rest of the room was dark. He always wrote the names of the five starters on the chalkboard and what our defensive responsibilities were.”

Superstar center Clyde Lovellette and Claude Houchin were the other two Kansas starters.

“Doc said, ‘You five men can represent the great tradition of Kansas against another great tradition, Kentucky. And you five are the only ones who can carry the flag.’ He was very inspirational in setting the scene,” Waugh said. “And we went out there and got our tails kicked.”

Bill Spivey (22 points), Frank Ramsey (19) and Walter Hirsch (10) led the Wildcats to a 68-39 victory witnessed by 13,000 in Memorial Coliseum. Lovellette scored 10 points and was the only Kansas player in double figures.

“Kentucky was ready to play, and we were ready for Christmas,” Waugh said.

“That put a scar on my soul that will never heal.”

Don’t feel too sorry for Waugh. He has eight holes-in-one to his credit, routinely beats his age on the golf course and has a mind sharper than the tip of a tungsten needle.

Waugh and Hougland attended KU’s practice Wednesday, and Hougland and Lienhard plan to attend Saturday’s game vs. Kentucky in Allen Fieldhouse.

Waugh, who with wife Delores spent four weeks in Wichita rehabilitating from an automobile accident, suffered a fractured ankle and will not attend the game.

“I’ll be disappointed not to see this game,” Waugh said.

A former assistant coach at KU, Waugh watches his alma mater religiously on TV. “They’re veterans, and they should be taking better care of the ball,” Waugh said. “That’s the exasperating part. When they do throw it away, most of the time it’s because it’s someone doing something on his own rather than doing it within the movement of the offense.”

Lienhard, whom Waugh called a “great shooter,” predicts a victory for his school, but has concerns.

Wright-Conklin was killed in a motorcycle accident on Sept. 3, 2015.

When Lawrence High senior wrestler Alan Clothier was approaching senior night on Wednesday, he knew he wanted to share it with somebody special.

Before Free State High won the City Showdown dual at LHS, 48-18, there was a moment of silence for former LHS wrestler Reece Wright-Conklin, who died in a motorcycle crash in September. The Lions retired his shoes on the mat prior to the dual.

Clothier said he encouraged his coaches and WrightConklin’s family to put the team’s memorial to WrightConklin, a three-time state champion at LHS, on senior night. Clothier, the team’s only senior, was close to Wright-Conklin, jumping into his arms when he won a state championship during his sophomore season.

“It was very emotional knowing that my season is coming to an end, that my career at Lawrence High is coming to an end,” said Clothier, who has a 132-8 record in his career, with three regional titles and three top-three finishes at state. “Then the whole Reece thing. That was very emotional.

“I was really close to Reece and really wanted to be on the same night as Reece,” Clothier added. “I thought it was just awesome how they retired his shoes on the mat.

It was great.”

Clothier capped his senior night — team manager Nicolasa Kenney was also honored — with a win by pinfall.

The Lions added wins from freshman Stanley Holder III at 145 pounds, junior Tucker Wilson at 160 and junior Santino Gee at 170. Holder, who was wrestling on junior varsity a few weeks ago, won by a 7-2 decision.

“I know the scoreboard doesn’t really show it, but we kind of knew going in that we were going to be on the downside of it,” LHS coach Pat Naughton said. “The only thing we can ask from our Please see WRESTLING, page 3C

Stepping out of conference fine with Self

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self has said that, in a perfect world, the one-day Big 12/SEC Challenge would be held in December, prior to the start of conference play rather than on Jan. 30.

However, considering the way this league season has materialized — KU is 5-3 with three straight road Please see KEEGAN, page 3C losses — something a little

out of the ordinary might be a good thing.

“I think it’s exactly what our team needs,” Self said of Saturday’s 6 p.m. tipoff against Kentucky in Allen Fieldhouse. “We need some energy. We need to play in a game (so big it brings ESPN’s GameDay to town).

I hate saying this, in the big scheme of things it doesn’t mean as much as a conference game, but could be a résumé builder (for NCAA Tournament). Hey, I like

the fact we are having something that’s a little bit different, (that) gets us out of the routine.”

Other Big 12/SEC Challenge games Saturday: Vanderbilt at Texas, West Virginia at Florida, Iowa State at Texas A&M, Mississippi at Kansas State, Tennessee at TCU, Texas Tech at Arkansas, Oklahoma at LSU, Georgia at Baylor and Oklahoma State at Auburn.

On Monday morning’s Big 12 teleconference, be-

fore KU’s loss at Iowa State, Self said: “I don’t like the disruption of league play. I think the majority of coaches would probably agree with that, but for our league I think it will be great exposure. Teams will get a major exposure on ESPN throughout the entire day, which I think is very good for our league, but I think every coach would agree if time slots were available in

Serena reaches Australian final Melbourne, Australia — Serena Williams gave another reminder of her dominance in women’s tennis with a 6-0, 6-4 win in the Australian Open semifinals today against Agnieszka Radwanska, who is soon to move to the No. 3 ranking.

Six-time champion Williams has never lost a semifinal or final at the Australian Open.

The first set was no contest, over in 20 minutes. Williams hit 18 winners, and Radwanska, in her fifth major semifinal, had one — in the fourth game.

The second set was closer, with Radwanska holding serve three times and breaking Serena’s powerful serve once. But the 34-year-old Williams lifted again to finish it off, winning the last eight points of the match and closing with three aces and a big forehand winner.

Despite her 21 major titles and all her success, it is a loss that is inspiring Williams in this tournament. She was two wins away from a calendar-year Grand Slam in 2015 when she lost to Roberta Vinci in the U.S. Open semifinals.

“Physically I’m feeling a lot better, mentally I needed that break after the Open,” she said, but “I didn’t think I would do this well this fast.

“I’m really excited to be in the final — it just kind of blows my mind right now.”

Williams remains unbeaten in nine matches against Radwanska and is an overwhelming favorite going into the final against the winner of today’s later match between No. 7-seeded Angelique Kerber and No. 47-ranked Johanna Konta, the first British woman since 1983 to reach a major semifinal.

PRO BASKETBALL

Wiggins to play in Rising Stars New York — Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves will play on opposite teams in the Rising Stars Challenge at NBA All-Star weekend.

New York Knicks rookie standout Kristaps Porzingis of Latvia will join Wiggins on the World team for the Feb. 12 game in Toronto — Wiggins’ hometown.

Wiggins, a former Kansas University standout, won Rookie of the Year honors last year, and Towns and Porzingis are the leading candidates this season.

The game matches rookies and second-year players from the U.S. against a roster of international players.

Towns will headline the U.S. team that includes another Minnesota player, Zach LaVine, giving the Timberwolves three players in the game, all 20 years old.

Philadelphia’s Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor also will play for the U.S., along with the Lakers’ D’Angelo Russell and Jordan Clarkson, Milwaukee’s Jabari Parker, Orlando’s Elfrid Payton, Boston’s Marcus Smart and Utah’s Rodney Hood.

Dallas’ Dwight Powell gives the World a second Canadian on the roster, which also includes Orlando’s Mario Hezonja and Brooklyn’s Bojan Bogdanovic (both from Croatia); Denver’s Emmanuel Mudiay (Republic of Congo) and Nikola Jokic (Serbia); Chicago’s Nikola Mirotic (Montenegro); Houston’s Clint Capela (Switzerland); and Utah’s Raul Neto (Brazil).

LHS, FSHS girls set for tough tourneys

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Playing tough opponents is nothing new for Lawrence High’s girls basketball team.

Since winter break, the Lions have played four Sunflower League teams that had a combined 15-1 league record. It won’t get much easier for the Lions at the Capital City Classic at Topeka Seaman over the next three days.

The Lions (4-6) open against Maize (7-2, ranked No. 5 in Class 5A)

at 5:30 tonight in the first round.

“That’s a really tough matchup for us,” LHS coach Jeff Dickson said.

“Just one more top-five team in the state that we have to play this year.

We’ve shown that we can compete with those teams.

Now it’s time to start beating some of them.”

The Lions will play Wichita Heights (7-3, No. 8 in 5A) or Topeka High (4-5) on Friday. The other side of the bracket is loaded with Shawnee Heights (8-1, No. 1 in 5A), St. Thomas Aquinas (6-

3) and Shawnee Mission North (6-3).

After two losses by a combined three points, the Lions spent most of last week working on the “little things” at practice.

“It’s just been tiring, I guess,” junior guard Olivia Lemus said of the week off. “It’s just practice after practice. We just want a game in there. We’re excited for the tournament.”

With a young lineup, the three-game tournament in three days will be a new experience for some of the Lions. Freshman 6-foot-3 center Chi-

Winter Classic at FSHS. The winner will play Derby (10-0, No. 4 in 6A) or Highland Park (3-5).

The Firebirds (7-2, ranked No. 6 in 6A) beat Lansing last week and are confident heading into their home tournament.

Junior Madison Piper leads the league with 20.8 points per game and is third averaging 7.8 rebounds.

The other side of the bracket includes Class 6A defending state champion and top-ranked Wichita South (10-0) and Washburn Rural (7-2, No. 5 in 6A).

Along with playing unfamiliar teams, the tournament will give the Firebirds a chance to watch some potential sub-state opponents: Washburn Rural and Derby.

“We’ve never played Great Bend before, and we play them in the first round,” FSHS coach Bryan Duncan said. “We’ve never played Wichita South. I don’t know if we’ve ever played Derby before. These are all teams that are potential matchups for us, and I think that’s a lot of fun for us.”

“This is his last time at the Lawrence High-Free State dual. That’s cool for him,” FSHS coach Mike Gillman said. “But he’s cutting a lot of weight, too. I’m asking a lot of him to do it, and he’s working hard and actually putting in the time and commitment. It paid off tonight.”

The lower weights are a strength for the Fire-

birds, who jump to quick leads at most of their duals.

“We’ve all gotten really competitive during practice and are pushing each other real hard,” Shanks said of the lower weight wrestlers. “It’s definitely showed here, getting ahead real early in the duals in points. It’s definitely made us all better.”

Free State senior James Wenzel (152 pounds), junior Sky Carey (220) and junior Reese Todd (285) all added wins by pinfall.

“I always preach the team aspect,” FSHS coach Mike Gillman said.

“Wrestling can be a lot of who is ranked here and who is ranked here.

Texas thumps KU women J-W Staff and Wire Reports

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD LAUREN ALDRIDGE, FRONT, LOOKS TO PASS AGAINST Texas guard Brooke McCarty during the first half of KU’s 70-46 loss on Wednesday in Austin, Texas.

Austin, Texas — Imani Boyette had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and No. 6 Texas routed Kansas University, 70-46, in Big 12 women’s basketball on Wednesday night for the 1,000th win in program history.

Boyette, who had her eighth double-double in nine Big 12 games, also had four blocks while playing just 21 minutes.

Brooke McCarty added 13 points as the Longhorns (19-1, 8-1) took command with a 23-0 push bridging the second and third quarters.

Lauren Aldridge scored 15 for Kansas (5-15, 0-9), which has lost 11 consecutive games. Caelynn Manning-Allen scored 14.

The Jayhawks made eight three-point baskets, including five by Aldridge, but scored only two points in the paint.

“I thought the difference was the first half and the 16 points they got off

“

We did a poor job taking adequate care of the basketball, but Texas can be disruptive.”

— Kansas coach Brandon Schneider of our 16 turnovers,” KU coach Brandon Schneider said. “We did a poor job taking adequate care of the basketball, but Texas can be disruptive. Obviously points are hard to come by for us in the paint with the size that they can present.”

Kansas had 23 turnovers, which UT turned into 23 points.

KU had 12 turnovers in the first quarter alone.

“Our leader, our best player, had six (turnovers),” Schneider said of Aldridge. “I don’t know if they were all in that quarter, but she stepped out of bounds a couple times.

But I will commend her for coming back and

being mentally tough enough to snap out of it and play really well in the second half.”

The Longhorns finished the first half with a 19-0 push that gave them a 39-15 halftime lead.

Kansas failed to score during the final 7:45 of the half.

Boyette had 10 points, six rebounds and three blocks in the half. McCarty made three threepointers.

The Longhorns, with 1,000 wins, rank fifth alltime behind Tennessee, Louisiana Tech, James Madison and Old Dominion. Texas won 783 games under Hall of Fame coach Jody Conradt.

“This was a really fun night, a night we had been looking forward to,” coach Karen Aston said.

“As it got closer, you had the opportunity to talk a lot to former players and fans that were able to reflect back on 1,000 wins.

So it was something I think our team was really looking forward to.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Arkansas torments A&M — again ————

Baylor slips past Oklahoma State to regain share of Big 12 lead; Kentucky hammers Missouri, 88-54 The Wildcats (16-4, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) had it easy in improving to 9-0 against the Tigers and winning their third straight overall.

Good shooting was the key again for Kentucky, which made 52 percent from the field after hitting 55 percent against Vanderbilt.

Willis also grabbed 12 rebounds for his second double-double in four games.

Clark had 11 points for Missouri (8-12, 1-6 SEC).

The Associated Press

Arkansas 74, No. 5 Texas A&M 71 Fayetteville, Ark. — Texas A&M had won three games on the road during its longest victory streak in five years.

A familiar house of pain, however, was where the streak ended for the Aggies on Wednesday night.

Despite 24 points and 4-of-5 three-point shooting from senior Danuel House, Texas A&M (17-3, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) lost for the eighth straight time in Fayetteville with a 74-71 defeat to Arkansas.

The defeat ended a 10-game winning streak for the Aggies, who were ranked the highest they had been in school history. They committed a season-worst 21 turnovers and were 19 of 48 (39.6 percent) from the field.

Tyler Davis added 14 points and Jalen Jones and Alex Caruso had 10 each for the Aggies, who were attempting to win their eight consecutive conference game — the school’s most since winning seven in a row as a member of the former Southwest Conference during the 1979-80 season.

It wasn’t meant to be.

Texas A&M trailed by as many as 10 points in the first half and struggled to keep the Razorbacks (1010, 4-4) off the free-throw line in the closing minute. ”We’ve won a bunch of games, and we haven’t played a lot of close games,” Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy said. “We weren’t very organized at the end, and I’ve got to do a better job helping them with that.”

For Arkansas, the close win was particularly satisfying. It was 1-6 this season in games decided by five or fewer points — including two in downto-the-wire fashion in its last three games.

Moses Kingsley had 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Dusty Hannahs and Anthlon Bell scored 17 points each as the Razorbacks put an end to a season-worst three-game losing streak. ”We’ve been getting to the finish line, we just haven’t been finishing,” Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said. “Tonight, we finished and we finished against an outstanding (team).”

ARKANSAS’ DUSTY HANNAHS, IN WHITE JERSEY ON THE FLOOR, FIGHTS FOR CONTROL of a possession against Texas A&M’s Alex Caruso (21) in the second half of Arkansas’ 74-71 victory on Wednesday in Fayetteville, Ark. Hannahs was the key in the closing minutes, hitting a late jumper as the shot clock expired and connecting on a pair of free throws with 6.4 seconds remaining to give the Razorbacks the final 74-71 lead.

Still, the game wasn’t decided until Texas A&M’s DJ Hogg missed a 3-point attempt at the buzzer — securing the Aggies first loss since a 67-54 defeat at Arizona State on Dec. 5. ”I was just hoping (Hogg) didn’t make it,” Hannahs said. “But when he let it go, it’s almost like, ‘No.’ With our luck, it would have hit the shot clock and went in.”

The Aggies trailed throughout the first half and by as many as 10 points while struggling to keep possession of the ball against an Arkansas team they defeated 92-69 in College Station on Jan. 2.
