FSHS: Student can’t display Confederate flag

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

A Free State High School student who was displaying a Confederate flag on the vehicle he drove to school has been told he can no longer display the flag on school property.

Lawrence Superintendent Rick Doll said that the administration at the school considered the student’s free speech rights before making the decision.

“School staff see this issue as an educational opportunity for students and fully understand the school’s obligation

Organizers expected more than 1,000 fourth-graders from Douglas County to attend the program between Thursday and today.

Chamber of commerce names new board members

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

BRIEFLY Man accused of running from police A 20-year-old Lawrence man is accused of leading police officers on a short foot chase early Thursday morning, police said.

Around 12:20 a.m. officers entered the Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio St., for a bar check, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley. There they approached Alan Azeltine, who was allegedly drinking in the bar at the time.

Azeltine gave officers a fake ID, McKinley said. He was then escorted out of the bar.

Once outside, Azeltine ran from officers, heading east on 14th Street, north on Tennessee Street and into a home, McKinley said. Officers followed and arrested him.

Azeltine was booked into the Douglas County Jail on suspicion of being a minor in possession, unlawful use of a driver’s license and interference with the duties of a police officer. He was being held in jail Thursday in lieu of a $300 bond.

Remaining hours of operations will be 3 to 7:30 p.m. today, 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Weather conditions may alter hours. Call the skate rink during the hours of operation at 785-727-6622 for more information.

Capitol Federal’s earnings on the rise Topeka-based Capitol Federal Financial announced profits for its banks rose by more than 10 percent in the most recent quarter.

Capitol Federal, which operates branches in Lawrence, said income for the quarter ending Dec. 31 rose to $1.9 million or 16 cents per share, which is up from 15 cents per share during the same period a year ago.

The Affordable Housing Trust Fund needs money, he said. The fund started with $500,000 and created numerous affordable homes throughout the community, he said, but thus far, lacking dedicated revenue streams, has dwindled to $102,000.

Rick Renfro, owner of the Lawrence Johnny’s Tavern locations, bought the basketball tickets on eBay after hearing about Ozark’s effort in the news, Ozark said.

“I think it’s a terrific idea to create permanently affordable housing in town — it’s a win-win for everyone,” Renfro said in a statement provided by Ozark. “I’ve got staff that struggle to pay their rent, they can’t begin to think

“Discrimination is conduct which affords a student different treatment, solely on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation or gender identity in a manner which interferes with or limits the ability of the student to participate in or benefit from the services, activities or programs of the school.”

A spokeswoman for the district said the decision not to allow the student to bring the flag to school was based on the effect it was having on the environment.

“It was disrupting the learning environment, so Free State High administration asked the student not to bring the flag back on campus,” district spokeswoman Julie Boyle said via email.

Boyle said that apart from being told not to bring the flag to campus, the student was not disciplined. Further details about the incident could not be shared under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. “We don’t discuss school issues involving individual students in order to protect student privacy rights,” Boyle said.

Doll said the incident would be used to discuss issues surrounding race with students at the school.

“Using tools learned through the school district’s racial equity work, Free State High staff continue to engage students in meaningful discussion prompted by a student’s display of the Confederate flag on a personal vehicle in the school parking lot,” Doll said.

Although Bledsoe was not sentenced to death for the murder he was wrongfully accused of, he was sentenced to life in prison, and his case is now being used to illustrate the fallibility of the criminal justice system and how the death penalty could result in an error that could never be corrected.

“What if his case had been a capital case?” asked Donna Schneweis, one of the leaders of the Kansas Coalition Against the Death Penalty.

The coalition is backing a bill with bipartisan support in the House that would repeal the state’s death penalty law and create a new category of crime, aggravated murder, that could result in a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

But this year’s debate will be played out against a highly charged political backdrop after the U.S. Supreme Court, in an 8-1 ruling, reversed the Kansas Supreme Court decision and upheld the death sentences for two of the most notorious convicted killers in recent Kansas history, brothers Jonathan and Reginald Carr, who were convicted of killing four people and trying to kill a fifth during a gruesome crime spree in December 2000.

Shortly before the coalition’s rally Thursday, a Senate committee received a briefing about the status of that case.

Sen. Greg Smith, ROverland Park, who chairs the committee, said he believes the only

on the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Endowment Association Board and recently joined the Douglas County Heritage Conservation Council, the release said.

Ballard has served KU as associate vice provost for student success, associate dean of student life, as well as director of the Emily Taylor Women’s Resource Center. She has served in the Kansas House since she was first elected in 1992 and is president of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators.

The Chamber’s annual meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. at Abe & Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. — Reporter Mackenzie Clark can be reached at mclark@ljworld.com or 832-7198.

The problem we have in Kansas is not that the death penalty is used. It’s the fact that our court won’t carry out the law.”

— Sen. Greg Smith, R-Overland Park thing wrong with the state’s death penalty law is that the Kansas Supreme Court has consistently blocked its enforcement.

“It’s very, very clear from the United States Supreme Court that the Kansas death penalty is constitutional,” Smith said. “The problem we have in Kansas is not that the death penalty is used.

It’s the fact that our court won’t carry out the law.”

Smith said he favors changing the way state Supreme Court justices are selected in order to get a different kind of court.

“I think this demonstrates a problem,” he said. “The language the United States Supreme Court used was some of the strongest I’ve ever seen, calling it beyond the pale, beyond logic, extravagant speculation. In other words, our Kansas Supreme Court is making up reasons to not use this.”

Kansas reinstated the death penalty in 1994. But in the 22 years since then, it has not carried out a single execution because until recently, the Supreme Court overturned every death sentence it reviewed.

In a number of those cases, including the Carr brothers’ case, the state appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which has consistently overturned the Kansas court.

In November, however, the Supreme Court finally issued its first ruling upholding a death sentence, this time against

convicted serial killer John E. Robinson.

Natalie Chalmers, assistant solicitor general in the Kansas Attorney General’s Office, told Smith’s committee that there is still a long legal road ahead before the Carr brothers could face execution. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision only sends the case back to the Kansas court for further proceedings on issues that weren’t addressed in the first ruling.

For some who oppose the death penalty, that may be reason enough to repeal the law now.

“As soon as that opinion was issued, we needed another $550,000 to start defending them in the next stage of appeals,” said Rep. Steven Becker, R-Buhler, lead sponsor of the bill.

Rep. William Sutton, R-Gardner, argued for repeal, saying that taxpayers pay for both the defense and the prosecution, but so far have seen no results for the money.

“If we could actually divorce emotion from the decision-making process on this case, this program would have been scrapped years ago,” he said. “Never do I find a government program that has exactly zero utility.”

The death penalty repeal bill has not yet been scheduled for any committee hearings.

Lawmakers OK bill to keep courts open Topeka (ap) — Kansas legislators have given final approval to a bill to keep the state’s courts open following a legal dispute involving their budget.

The Senate passed the measure Thursday on a 39-1 vote. Sen. Molly Baumgardner, R-Louisburg, was the sole dissenting vote. The House approved it last week, 1190, so the bill goes next to Gov. Sam Brownback The measure repeals a 2015 law threatening the

court system’s budget.

That law said the judiciary’s entire budget would be nullified if the courts struck down another law enacted in 2014.

The 2014 law stripped the Kansas Supreme Court of its power to appoint chief judges in the state’s 31 judicial districts and gave it to local judges instead.

The high court invalidated the 2014 law last month.

Supporters of the 2014 law said they didn’t intend to close the courts.

Left: Lawrence artist Karen Eager created an iron face, seen here, for the Lawrence Percolator's annual love-themed art show, this year titled "Group Love." The exhibit opens with a reception from 5 to 9 p.m. today at the Percolator, 913 Rhode Island St. Above: Lawrence artist Liza MacKinnon created a 3-foot-tall, papier-mache human heart for the show.

roup Love,” the Lawrence Percolator’s fourth installment of its annual amore-themed exhibit, opens today — just in time for Valentine’s Day, conveniently enough.

But the show isn’t merely a valentine to romance.

Love of all kinds — love for family members, friends, for one’s self — is celebrated in the multimedia effort, says Percolator board member and exhibiting artist Rachael Perry.

This year’s work — the exhibit is open to artists of all ages and skill levels — includes everything from painting and printmaking to mixed-media sculptures and assemblages made with found objects.

“The pieces are really diverse and really fun this year,” she says. “People are really looking at love in all its com-

plexity and not just through one single lens.”

Perry, whose Lawrence Inside Out project saw the installation of hundreds of black-and-white photographic portraits around the city in 2015, has fashioned a collage out of old photos she discovered in the dumpster behind the Social Service League, 905 Rhode Island St., which is near the Percolator.

Comprising mostly professional and amateur snapshots

of children from 1950s-era Garnett, the photographs portrayed kids in class portraits and dressed up with friends on Halloween.

“It reminded me of how it felt to be in elementary school,” Perry says of her creation. “You have this whole dynamic of group love and group hate and all the social aspects of being alive when you’re that age.”

This year marks Liza MacKinnon’s third showing at the Percolator’s love exhibit.

A sort of artistic jack-of-alltrades, MacKinnon works in a variety of mediums, including printmaking, painting, textiles and ceramics. But she’s never done anything — at least not with papier-mache — on the same scale as her “Group Love” submission, a 3-foottall, anatomically correct replica of a human heart covered in pages taken from the Diagnostic and Statistical

Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM. Alternatively titled “My Lumpy Heart,” “A Broken Heart is a Beating Heart” and “Love Letter to Bert Nash,” the papier-mache sculpture pays tribute to the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, where MacKinnon has been a client for nearly all of her eight years in Lawrence.

She credits the facility’s dialectical therapy program (the approach is geared toward recognizing and ultimately regulating harmful behavior, such as self-harm, substance abuse and suicidal thinking) with helping her “navigate the world better.”

“The people who work there, even the bookkeepers and receptionists, I feel like they go above and beyond taking care of humanity. They’re spreading love outward,” MacKinnon says.

“They do this for a living,

but it’s more than just having a job.”

Between her teaching at the Lawrence Arts Center and a part-time gig at the Lawrence Public Library, MacKinnon’s schedule doesn’t leave much time for art shows. But honoring love — especially the compassion and empathy she’s experienced at Bert Nash — make the Percolator’s show worthwhile.

“It’s hard to use language without sounding cliché,” she admits. “But, really, love and the way it’s expressed and the way people take care of each other ... really, that’s the currency to be alive.”

“Group Love” runs through Feb. 21 at the Percolator, 913 Rhode Island St., with an opening reception slated for 5 to 9 p.m. today.

LMH Endowment honors 11 with Watkins Community Caring Awards The Lawrence Memorial Hospital Endowment Association held its 47th annual meeting Thursday at the Cider Gallery, 810 Pennsylvania St., at which it honored 11 individuals and groups with the Elizabeth M. Watkins Community Caring Award.

The award “celebrates people, organizations and companies who have demonstrated a commitment to volunteerism and whose gifts of time, talent and treasure are invaluable to the success of Lawrence Memorial Hospital,” according to a program from the event.

The individuals honored included architect Kurt von Achen; 97-year-old Faye Jones, wife of Dr. H. P. “Penny” Jones; Tandy Reussner, co-organist at First Christian Church in Lawrence; the Bob Moore family, which “works behind the scenes, making Lawrence a better community and making

people’s lives better,” according to the program; and Carol and Sherry Schaub, who have made numerous international mission trips for Kids Alive International.

Businesses and organizations honored with the award include the Assists Foundation, established by Kansas University men’s basketball head coach Bill Self and his wife, Cindy Self; Edmonds Duncan Registered Advisors, founded by Steve Edmonds, Jason Edmonds and Don Duncan; Intrust Bank, the largest independent bank headquartered in Kansas, according to the program; and LMH Pathology.

LMH associate winners include Margaret “Margie” Brummett, who has worked in printing at the hospital for nearly 35 years, and Gene Meyer, the president and CEO of the hospital since 1997, who will retire this spring.

“It comes out in a big foamy mess,” she said. “It’s just our fun name for it.”

Alyssa and fellow fourth-graders Kade Long and Verity Paulick added video displays of their project so that all could witness their achievement.

“We made a tornado,” Verity said.

The students produced a desktop vortex through the creative use of bent plastic sheets, dry ice, water and a vacuum motor.

“We tried a fan, but that didn’t work,” Kade said.

The team did come away from the project with a better understanding of meteorology and the roles that updrafts, downdrafts and the jet stream play in the formation of tornadoes. Kade said they also learned that frequent spring funnels in

the “tornado alley” of the American Midwest were a result of cool, dry air from Canada colliding with moist, warm air from the Gulf of Mexico.

Dan Wallsmith, intermediate school principal, said he didn’t know the number of projects his students and those from Baldwin Elementary School Primary Center would enter in the science fair but anticipated they would fill the gym.

Students first started selecting projects in early December and focused on completing them in the last two weeks, he said.

“It’s done as a family project,” he said. “The PTO (parent teacher organization) sponsors it.”

Students were vying for ribbons with the top project from each class awarded a purple grandchampion ribbon, Wallsmith said.

Alyssa Reichard was impressed Wednesday as fellow Baldwin Elementary School Intermediate Center fourth-grader Rachael Berndt described her science fair project on how batteries work.

“Those are scientific words,” Alyssa said, referring to Rachael’s dropping “diode,” “cathode” and “electrodes” into her description.

Rachael and classmate Maggie Kropf, whose project involved producing “elephant toothpaste,” tended to excitedly rush through recaps of their projects. Those attending the science fair from 6 to 7 p.m. Thursday at the intermediate center gym didn’t need to worry about keeping up with students’ enthusiastic explanations.

Southwest team’s Future City project going national

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

It’s the year 2170 and in the city of TallakhaMuhara, the residents put their trash directly into air-pressured tubes that run under the city like plumbing pipes. Once underground, the trash doesn’t stay there to leach into the earth as it does in today’s landfills, but is instead sorted to be either recycled or “gasified.”

The city is bright and clean but also made largely of cardboard, recycled fruit cups and juice containers. But that doesn’t make any of its feats less possible. Eighteen Southwest Middle School students designed the city under the mentorship of teachers and civil and chemical engineers as part of the national Future City Competition, a project-based competition for middle school students.

The theme of this year’s Future City Competition, “Waste Not,

PATRICK KEATING, 13, OF SOUTHWEST MIDDLE SCHOOL, explains Tallakha-Muhara, his team’s entry in the Future City Competition. After winning the competition Saturday, the team will head to nationals in Washington, D.C. Want Not,” asks students to design waste management systems focused on the four Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle and rot. The team’s captain said that it was neat learning what actually happens to waste after it’s thrown away.

“Most people don’t think about what happens when you toss it in the

trash can, put it on your curb and then it’s gone,” said Patrick Keating, 13.

“It was really interesting learning what happens to it afterwards and how we could make that more efficient.”

Efficiencies in the city include using recycled products as building materials and using microbes

to break down waste into usable substances. That process won over judges at the Great Plains Regional Competition over the weekend, and the tiny cardboard city will soon make a trip to a much larger one.

After winning the regional competition, the Southwest team is

headed to nationals in Washington, D.C., next month.

The model itself is just one Walton component of the competition, which also includes a virtual city design, a 1,500-word city description and a presentation to a panel of STEM professionals.

The city is modeled on Mumbai, India, and the team worked under projections for the city to have 75 million people by the year 2170. Rheanne Walton, 13, one of the team’s presenters, said the realities of the city were alarming.

“We saw so much stuff that was like, ‘Ahhh, why is it like this? The landfill is polluting their water sources,’ and stuff that’s just causing a whole bunch of problems,” Rheanne said. “We chose that location to try to help that.

But beyond lessons on waste management, Patrick and Rheanne both said the main thing they learned was how to work in a team and cooperate.

Three presenters, Patrick, Rheanne and Sivani Badrivenkata, work with other members of the team to research, complete the project and prepare for the competition.

“You’ve got to learn sometimes that your idea isn’t always the best idea,” Rheanne said.

“Sometimes it is, but sometimes other people’s are actually better, so you have to listen to them and be nice to them even when you’re mad at them, which is sometimes difficult.”

Members of the Southwest team will travel to Washington, D.C., with their coach, Danielle Lotton-Barker, to compete in the national Future City Competition Feb. 15-17.

Kansas senators consider firearms nondiscrimination act

By Melissa Hellmann Associated Press

Topeka — The chairman of a panel reviewing a proposal that would ban businesses from discriminating against firearms manufacturers and retailers urged Kansas senators Thursday to reject efforts to broaden the protections to include other individuals or industries.

Gun-rights advocates testified in favor of the bill at the Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs hearing. But the measure was strongly criticized by lobbyists who wanted to include amendments or feared that it would create

Lawmaker resists efforts to broaden protections for others potential liabilities.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation — the trade association for the firearms inOstmeyer dustry — has urged Kansas and other states to craft legislation seeking to protect those “engaged in the lawful commerce of firearms or ammunition products” from discriminatory practices by service

Family: Salina man who died during booking was an addict Salina (ap) — The sister of a Salina man who died after an altercation at a county jail said he fought drug and alcohol addiction for most of his adult life and that it contributed to his death.

Scott Brunson, 50, died early Tuesday after an altercation with two officers while he was being booked into the Saline County Jail. Law enforcement officers said Brunson was combative from the time he was arrested for a domestic dispute until he became unconscious at the jail. Authorities have not released details about the altercation.

Susan Young, Brunson’s sister, said in a statement issued Wednesday that the family trusts the law enforcement agencies investigating his death, The Salina Journal reported.

“If you are looking for answers as to what exactly happened on the night of Scott’s death, we can’t give all those details,” Young wrote. “The only fact we will share with the public about the night of Scott’s death is that blood tests showed that he had cocaine, methamphetamine and alcohol all in his system.

Based off information we received at the hospital, it appears he suffered from cardiac arrest.”

Corrections deputies Andrew Fillipi and Dave Grove were taken to the hospital after the altercation. Fillipi was treated and released. Grove, who was hospitalized for observation after suffering a heart attack, has been released from the hospital, Saline County Sheriff’s Capt. Brent Melander said Thursday.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is investigating Brunson’s death and said no further information will be released until results are reviewed by Saline County Attorney Ellen Mitchell.

Young wrote she and other family members are saddened by Brunson’s death but “also have some peace in knowing he will no longer be battling the demon of addiction.”

She wrote that her brother would want others to learn from his story and she hoped those struggling with addiction seek help.

“As long as a person has breath, there is always HOPE,” she wrote. “Hope for recovery is possible while you are alive.”

providers such as banks, payment processors or insurance companies.

But opponents of the bill as written proposed amendments Thursday seeking to expand it to include other types of discrimination, drawing a rebuke from Chairman Ralph Ostmeyer.

“What we’re looking at here is a gun bill,” said Ostmeyer, a Grinnell Republican.

Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri lobbyist Elise Higgins said the bill should protect organizations

that offer health care for women.

“We hold that just as a person or trade association engaged in the lawful commerce of firearms or ammunition products should not be subject to discrimination because of the nature of their business, so too should a politically controversial organization providing constitutionally protected services such as safe and legal abortions also be protected from discrimination,” Higgins said.

The executive director of

Equality Kansas, Thomas Witt, also recommended amendments to the bill that would include protection for sexual orientation and gender identity.

Last year Republican Gov. Sam Brownback rescinded a predecessor’s executive order barring discrimination on sexual orientation and gender identity for public employees in hiring and promotion decisions.

Brownback, a gun rights advocate, said that he was not familiar with the proposed measure after a National Federation of Independent Business conference on Wednesday.

CURB detour The laudable mission of a state utility consumer agency is being derailed.

T

he board created by Kansas statute to ensure consumers are represented in utility rate cases has created a situation that, at least temporarily, makes it impossible to accomplish that charge.

On Monday, members of the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board fired the board’s acting consumer counsel, Niki Christopher, a 15-year staff member who had taken that role after long-term counsel David Springe resigned in December to take another job. Christopher was the only remaining attorney on the small CURB staff, so the agency, which is charged with representing residential and small business customers, now is without legal counsel.

What does that mean to Kansas utility consumers? Well, in the short term it means they won’t have legal representation in about two dozen cases currently pending before the Kansas Corporation Commission. Christopher has notified the KCC that she was withdrawing as counsel for CURB in those cases.

Although members of CURB say they are in the process of hiring a new permanent counsel, it’s unlikely Christopher’s replacement could be hired quickly enough to get up to speed and provide meaningful input on the pending cases.

Given the disagreements that apparently led to Christopher’s dismissal, it’s unclear exactly what role the CURB members, who are appointed by the governor, envision for their new counsel.

In December, the board forbade Christopher from speaking to the media or legislative committees about consumer issues — a role that previously had been a primary function of the job. Board members also discussed significant changes in CURB’s focus. Their actions drew the attention of a couple of state legislators who introduced a bill last week designed to keep the board from shifting its focus away from representing consumers in rate cases and before the Legislature. The bill also would have nullified the board’s order prohibiting Christopher from speaking to news reporters and legislators on its behalf.

An email from Christopher regarding the legislation apparently rubbed commissioners the wrong way. Although the email has not been made public, CURB Chairwoman Ellen Janoski criticized its content during a teleconference meeting on Monday, saying “Making demands that we allow you to talk to whoever and that basically you said ‘I told you so,” is absolutely upsetting to me,” Janoski said.

Christopher subsequently was asked to resign and, when she refused, was fired.

One of the sponsors of the legislation in question said CURB’s dismissal of Christopher was part of a politically motivated effort to reduce CURB’s intended role as an advocate for consumers. Janoski called the bill “ridiculous.”

Since its creation in 1988, CURB has done a good job of representing consumers’ interest and contributing to fair compromises with utility companies in the state. It’s unfortunate that, for whatever reason, its laudable mission apparently has been dragged into the state’s contentious political arena.

Trump, Sanders tap voter anxiety Washington — It’s hard to believe that the United States, having resisted the siren song of socialism during its entire 20th-century heyday (the only major democracy to do so), should suddenly succumb to its charms a generation after its intellectual demise. Indeed, the prospect of socialist Bernie Sanders, whatever his current momentum, winning the Democratic nomination remains far-fetched.

The Dems would be risking a November electoral disaster of historic dimensions. Yet there is no denying how far Sanders has pulled his party to the left — and how hard the establishment candidate, Hillary Clinton, has been racing to catch up.

The Republicans, on the other hand, are dealing with a full-scale riot. The temptation they face is trading in a century of conservatism for Trumpism.

The 2016 presidential race has turned into an epic contest between the ethno-nationalist populism of Donald Trump and traditional conservatism, though in two varieties: the scorched-earth fundamentalist version of Ted Cruz, and a reformist version represented by Marco Rubio (and several so-called establishment candidates) — and articulated most fully by non-candidate Paul Ryan and a cluster of highly productive thinkers and policy wonks dubbed “reformicons.”

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

The temptation they (Republicans) face is trading in a century of conservatism for Trumpism.”

Trump insists that he’s a conservative, but in his pronouncements and policies, conservatism seems more of a rental — a three-story penthouse rental with Central Park-view, to be sure — than an ideological home.

Trump protests that Ronald Reagan, too, migrated from left to right. True, but Reagan’s transformation occurred in his 40s — not, as with Trump, in his 60s.

In radically different ways, Trump and Sanders are addressing the deep anxiety stemming from the secular stagnation in wages and living standards that has squeezed the middle and working classes for a generation. Sanders locates the villainy in a billionaire class that has rigged both the economic and political system. Trump blames foreigners, most prominently those cunning Mexicans, Chi-

nese, Japanese and Saudis who’ve been taking merciless advantage of us, in concert with America’s own leaders who are, alternatively, stupid and incompetent or bought and corrupt.

Hence Trump’s most famous policy recommendations: anti-immigrant, including the forced deportation of 11 million people; anti-trade, with a 45 percent tariff on Chinese goods and a 35 percent tariff on U.S. manufacturing moved to Mexico; and anti-Muslim, most notoriously a complete ban on entry into the U.S. Temporarily only, we are assured, except that the ban applies “until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on” — a standard so indeterminate as to be meaningless.

Trump has limited concern for the central tenet of American conservatism (and most especially of the tea party movement) — limited government. The most telling example is his wholehearted support for “eminent domain,” i.e. the forcible appropriation by government of private property. Trump called it “wonderful.”

Trump has not yet called Vladimir Putin wonderful but he has taken a shine to the swaggering mini-czar who seems to run his trains on time. When informed that Putin kills opponents and journalists, Trump’s initial reaction was, “Well, I think that our country does plenty of killing, also,” the kind of moronic what-

about-the-Crusades moral equivalence that conservatives have railed against for decades. Although, to be fair, after some prompting, Trump did come out against the killing of journalists.

Cruz is often lumped with Trump in the “anti-establishment” camp. That suited Cruz tactically for a while, but it’s fairly meaningless, given that “establishment” can mean anything these days.

My personal preference is for the third ideological alternative, the reform conservatism that locates the source of our problems not in heartless billionaires or crafty foreigners, but in our superannuated, increasingly sclerotic 20thcentury welfare-state structures. Their desperate need for reform has been overshadowed by the new populism, but Speaker Ryan is determined to introduce a serious reform agenda in this year’s Congress -- boring stuff like welfare reform, health care reform, tax reform and institutional congressional reforms such as the return to “regular order.”

Paired with a president like Rubio (or Chris Christie or Carly Fiorina, to go longshot), such an agenda would give conservatism its best opportunity since Reagan to become the country’s governing philosophy.

Unless the GOP takes the populist leap. In which case, a conservative restoration will be a long time coming.

Cruz has focused campaign in Iowa Boone, Iowa — On a frigid, gray morning, Rafael Cruz’s unnamed target was as evident as his message touting his son’s principles as he addressed some two dozen Ted Cruz supporters in a basement room of a converted livery stable.

“Don’t listen to the rhetoric,” the elder Cruz pleaded.

“Slogans didn’t build America.”

His comments — and more direct comments by Cruz and other surrogates — reflect the fact that, in the weeks before next Monday’s Iowa caucuses, Donald Trump’s onslaught of criticism has halted the Texas senator’s eight-month rise from conservative outsider to Hawkeye state favorite.

And this small but intense group — one of dozens of caucus training sessions the Cruz campaign has convened — represents the traditional organizational effort that the meticulously organized Cruz campaign hopes will blunt Trump’s effort to capture the caucuses by stirring excitement through highly publicized large rallies.

Later that same day, at a raucous rally at Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, commentator-turned-Cruzbacker Glenn Beck succinctly spelled out the stakes: “If Donald Trump wins (in Iowa),” Beck said, “it’s going to be a snowball to

That would undercut Cruz’s plan to ride Iowa success into the bigger states, especially in the South.

“Cruz has run the most focused campaign,” said GOP consultant Alex Castellanos, no supporter. “He’s raised an exceptionally large sum of money. He’s built the best ground game and the most powerful social media operation.”

And he benefited from the cratering of rivals for the votes of evangelicals crucial here and in South Carolina: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and former Govs. Rick Perry

of Texas and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana withdrew; prior Iowa winners Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum failed to rekindle past support; and Ben Carson faded after weak debate showings.

But polls suggest Trump’s endorsement by Sarah Palin, whose backing Cruz credits with his Texas Senate victory, might cost Cruz among evangelicals.

And Trump’s invective not only forced Cruz onto the defensive but revived some issues that prompted initial doubts about his chances.

While polls indicate few Republicans seem concerned about Trump’s harping on Cruz’s Canadian birthplace, his assertion that “nobody likes him” has reverberated among establishment Republicans.

“I don’t know how he’s going to work with Congress,” echoed longtime Kansas GOP senator and 1996 nominee Bob Dole. “Nobody likes him.”

Others liken his doctrinaire conservatism to former Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater, who pulled the GOP sharply right in 1964 and lost 44 states, dooming dozens of other Republican candidates.

“The fact is, when Barry Goldwater lost, (Republicans) lost big-time,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told a Christian Science Monitor break-

fast last December. McCain once called Cruz and fellow hopeful Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., “wacko-birds.”

Cruz supporters dispute that comparison. “The electorate has been so abused the last eight years, they’re going to see that the alternatives are a corrupt politician (Hillary Clinton) or a socialist U.S. senator (Bernie Sanders) and someone who is principled,” said Aaron Cronk, 38, a stayat-home father and Boone County co-chair for Cruz.

To counter Trump’s attacks, the whirl of his publicity and attacks in television ads, Cruz is relying on that old Iowa standby, organization.

The stress here and at similar sessions was on making personal contact with family, friends and neighbors. Each local Cruz chair will receive this week a list of all who support the senator in his precinct.

Eight years ago, though, Barack Obama won the Democratic caucuses by flooding them with new voters, many young. Trump hopes to replicate that, and a mild weather forecast might encourage it.

But the Cruz campaign believes many won’t take the trouble to turn out. If that happens, his organization may yet carry the day.

Kochs’ new group aims to ‘revitalize’ society Stand Together debuts this weekend

Charles Koch is chairman and CEO of Koch Industries, the second-largest private company in America.

He and his brother, David, are well-known contributors to conservative and libertarian political causes.

The political and policy empire controlled by billionaire industrialist Charles Koch is building a non-profit wing its leaders say will work to address deep-seated social ills and “revitalize civil society.” Its initial efforts will focus on poverty and educational quality.

He said the group won’t veer into policy fights but instead initially plans to focus on partnerships with private groups addressing social problems, such as gang violence and high recidivism rates.

Koch aides have worked internally for nearly a year on Stand Together, but the group will make its first public splash this week — launching its website and broadly sharing its plans as an annual winter seminar for hundreds of

DES MOINES Donald Trump threatened to run away from the Republican presidential field Thursday night in the final debate before Iowans kick off the 2016 voting Monday.

Literally.

A dozen Republicans who want to be president squared off, but a grumpy Trump — angry at how Fox News has treated him — stood by his plan to boycott the debate and sponsor a separate event benefiting veterans less than 3 miles away.

That left Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas center stage and fielding the most incoming attacks from his rivals for the GOP nomination — so much so that he accused the debate moderators of asking too many “please attack Ted” questions.

“If you guys ask one more mean question, I may have to leave the stage,” Cruz quipped in reference to the absent Trump.

Those most willing to attack him were Cruz’s two Senate colleagues — Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, running third in most Iowa polls behind Trump and Cruz, and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.

“Don’t worry, I’m not leaving the stage no matter what you ask me,” Rubio said. He led the way among all the candidates in claiming he would be toughest against the Islamic State, which he called “the most dangerous jihadist group in the history of mankind.”

Sour grapes? Hollande scraps lunch with Iranian prez No wine, no dine, French leader says Oren Dorell USA TODAY

French President François Hollande decided having wine with lunch was more important than breaking bread with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani during an official visit to Paris.

Hollande scrapped Thursday’s lunch at the Élysée Palace after Rouhani asked for a halal menu in keeping with his Muslim faith, which meant no wine during his

first visit as president to the City of Light.

“It is not the halal which was a problem but the wine,” France’s ambassador to the United States, Gérard Araud, said on Twitter.

“Nobody should constrain anybody to drink or not to drink.”

Hollande’s decision means he’s likely to avoid the criticism leveled at Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi this week.

In Italy, where wine is as much a part of the culinary routine as in France, officials submitted to the Iranian leader’s demands and did not serve wine at Monday’s state dinner. Italian officials also covered up several nude statues with

Hassan Rouhani and Francois Hollande met without lifting a glass.

large boxes at Rome’s Campidoglio museum to protect the Islamic Republic visitors from gazing at artists’ renderings of the human form. Renzi’s decision outraged critics.

“Respect for other cultures cannot and must not mean negating our own,” lawmaker Luca Squeri said. “This isn’t respect, it’s canceling out differences, and it’s a kind of surrender.”

Rome City Councilman Gianluca Peciola started an online petition demanding that Renzi explain “a disgraceful decision which is a mortification of art and culture as universal values.”

The Iranian president did get a formal welcome Thursday from Hollande at the gold-domed Invalides monument where Napoleon is buried.

Rouhani toured Europe this week to drum up trade deals

worth billions of dollars that include cars and planes. Business with the oil-rich nation is possible after international sanctions were lifted recently as part of the historic nuclear agreement Iran made in July with world powers.

In Paris, Peugeot-Citroen announced a deal with Iran Khodro Industrial Group to produce 200,000 cars a year in Iran, a plan worth $436 million over the next five years, the French automaker said.

Airbus agreed to deliver 118 new aircraft to Iran Air. Tuesday in Rome, Iran signed trade deals worth at least $18 billion.

Force of the Future based on family Parental leave among Pentagon initiatives aimed at promoting military careers Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

Female troops in all services will receive 12 weeks of maternity leave as part of a series of personnel initiatives Thursday aimed at making military careers more appealing, especially to Millennials, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter announced.

The moves, unveiled under the banner of Force of the Future, are designed to recruit and retain a new generation of troops, Carter said.

Carter’s announcement AFP/GETTY IMAGES sets the same Defense Secrestandard for tary Ashton maternity leave Carter has had a for all services, large impact on but it will re- Pentagon policy. duce the leave for the Navy and Marine Corps from 18 weeks to 12 weeks. The Army and Air Force will increase from six weeks to 12. Paid paternity leave will be expanded to 14 days from 10, Carter said.

“This puts (the Defense Department) in the top tier of institutions nationwide,” Carter said.

“It will have significant influence on decision-making for our military servicemembers.”

The reduction in maternity leave for female sailors does not represent a “downshift,” Carter said. However, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, who announced the expansion to 18 weeks last year, believes that level is appropriate, said Capt. Patrick McNally, a Navy spokesman.

The services will keep daycare center hours open 14 hours a day, Carter said. Posts with 50 or more people will be required to set aside rooms for new mothers.

Carter, who has held office less than a year, has been making a mark on the Pentagon’s personnel policies.

In December, he announced all combat units will be open to women this year, allowing them to compete for 200,000 military roles, most of them in the infantry. That move has been opposed by the Marine Corps, which commissioned a study that said units with mixed genders would suffer greater casualties than male-only counterparts.

Republican candidates criticize campaign coverage v CONTINUED FROM 1B

On stage or off, as he has done throughout the GOP primary campaign season, Trump dominated the news cycle, as well as his favorite social media venue, Twitter.

“The ‘debate’ tonight will be a total disaster — low ratings with advertisers and advertising rates dropping like a rock,” @realDonaldTrump tweeted early in the day. Fox News denied that. “The debate is completely sold out. No rates have changed, and there are no advertisers who have backed out,” the network declared.

The boycott subsumed virtually all other story lines leading up to Thursday night’s seventh Republican debate: Cruz’s hopes of beating Trump in Iowa, Rubio’s effort to finish a strong third and the race for respectability between the others taking the stage at the Iowa Events Center.

Not to mention actual issues.

“If you guys ask one more mean question, I may have to leave the stage.”

Sen. Ted Cruz

The media are “manipulating and shaping and framing this campaign,” Gilmore said. Fiorina, speaking to Iowans, said, “Last time I looked, you hadn’t started voting yet.”

The debate took place as a new poll showed Trump moving ahead of Cruz in Iowa, 32%-25%, while Rubio was at 18%. The NBC/Wall Street Journal poll gave the New York billionaire big leads in New Hampshire and South Carolina, which are next on the primary calendar.

Trump’s beef with Fox News initially was aimed at co-moderator Megyn Kelly, who he claims has been unfair to him.

Cruz, who has seen his lead in Iowa polling evaporate, challenged Trump to a one-on-one debate before Monday’s caucus.

In an interview on Fox, Cruz said any candidate who wants to win Iowa “owes it to the men and women” of the state to answer questions.

The last two Republicans to win the Iowa caucuses — Huckabee and Santorum — said they would attend Trump’s event for veterans after their debate.

“I didn’t have anything going on at 8 tonight,” Huckabee said.

Top Koch aides join Stand Together v CONTINUED FROM 1B

gether comes as the behemoth associated with Koch and his brother, David, increasingly sends millions of dollars to programs aimed at the poor and works to broaden its outreach beyond a core base of free-market conservatives.

Americans for Prosperity, the Kochs’ long-standing, largest grass-roots arm, offers “couponing classes.” Another Koch group, the Libre Initiative, hands out free holiday turkeys to Latinos. In 2014, Charles Koch and Koch Industries contributed $25 million to the United Negro College Fund, much of it for scholarships.

Koch’s top aides have partnered with the Obama administration in a high-profile push to overhaul the criminal justice system and began an effort to roll back job-licensing laws that Koch argues unfairly exclude the poor and exfelons from jobs and business opportunities.

The libertarian-leaning brothers, who control the nation’s second-largest private company, are best known for the massive sums they pour into American politics to boost Republicans who share their small-government views.

The network aims to raise and spend nearly $900 million over a two-year period — about a third of which Charles Koch said will be directed to the 2016 elections.

The Kochs’ motives and tactics face deep skepticism from Democrats as the election draws closer.

Evan Feinberg runs the new Stand Together initiative.

“The sole purpose of Stand Together is to make a real difference in real people’s lives by actually solving the problems they have.”

Dark Money, a book out this month from New Yorker staff writer Jane Mayer, argues that anti-regulation crusades by the Kochs and other wealthy conservatives are less about the societal well-being Koch often espouses

and more about the well-being of their corporations.

Feinberg began his role with the group last June. In a sign of the organization’s importance in the sprawling Koch realm, some of Charles Koch’s most trusted advisers are helping to steer Stand Together. Among its board members: Richard Fink, who spent decades as Koch’s top political adviser, and Brian Hooks, who presides over the Charles Koch Foundation and the Charles Koch Institute.

Feinberg, 31, is a former Capitol Hill staffer who unsuccessfully waged a Tea Party-infused primary challenge against veteran Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., in 2012.

He ran the Kochs’ Millennial advocacy group, Generation Opportunity, which drew attention in 2013 for its viral videos of a creepy Uncle Sam giving a young woman a gynecological exam in an effort to get young people to “opt out” of Obamacare.

Koch groups spent heavily trying to undermine the health care law, in part by seeking to discourage young, healthy people from signing up and providing the financial lifeline needed to offset the expenses of the older, sicker people joining the insurance pools. Even President Obama weighed in on Generation Opportunity’s tactic, decrying it as a “cynical ad campaign” by “some of the wealthiest men in America.”

Staffers said Stand Together will be organized as a charitable

group under the U.S. tax code. As such, the names of its contributors, like virtually all groups in the Koch network, do not have to be disclosed publicly. How much the Kochs personally will invest in the new group is not known.

Organizations in the network rely on donations from about 450 donors to underwrite their activities.

Officials with the new group said they hope to expand their budget in future years beyond the initial 2016 goal of $15 million.

As Feinberg described the new initiative, Stand Together will blend grantmaking with infrastructure support. The group might underwrite private school scholarships to help poor kids escape struggling schools as well as provide IT, accounting and human resources support to the fledgling non-profit groups it draws into its orbit. A business owner in the network might provide jobs to ex-felons participating in one of the communitybased programs that Stand Together decides to support.

It employs five people full-time and is adding staff.

Woodson, a civil rights veteran, said he envisions receiving grants and “coaching” help from Stand Together, but no dollar amount has been agreed upon.

“What makes Koch unique is that he is the only person with money that has come to us and not dictated to us what we should do but wants to help us build on what we already do,” he said.

WHO: ZIKA VIRUS SPREADING ‘EXPLOSIVELY’ IN AMERICAS

Link ‘strongly suspected’ between illness and neurological birth defects Doug Stanglin and Liz Szabo USA TODAY

The World Health Organization announced Thursday it will hold an emergency meeting next week on how to confront the Zika virus, which it said is “spreading explosively” in the Americas.

It is “deeply concerning” the virus has now been detected in more than 20 countries and territories in the Americas since Brazil reported its first case in May, WHO director general Margaret Chan said. “The level of alarm is extremely high,” she added.

The specialized United Nations agency was criticized for its slow response to the Ebola outbreak in 2013. Now, it could declare an international health emergency when a group of independent experts meet Monday in Geneva.

The virus, spread by Aedes mosquitoes, has been associated with a sharp jump in the birth of babies with abnormally small heads. It is also linked to increases in Guillain-Barre syndrome, in which the immune system attacks the nervous system, causing paralysis.

“A causal relationship between Zika virus infection and birth defects and neurological syndromes has not been established, but is strongly suspected,” WHO said.

One purpose of the emergency meeting is to make sure nations don’t take inappropriate steps to limit travel or trade, said Bruce Aylward, assistant director-general of the WHO. During the Ebola outbreak, countries closed their borders, which harmed the fragile economies of West Africa.

Although 31 travelers have returned to the USA with Zika virus infections since 2015, the disease is not spreading locally in the contiguous USA, said Anne Schu-

chat, principal deputy director at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those travelers came from 11 states and Washington, D.C., Schuchat said.

Unlike the flu, Zika doesn’t spread from person to person. Instead, it’s spread by mosquitoes, like malaria and West Nile Virus.

Mosquitoes that bite a person infected with Zika can then spread it to others.

Schuchat said the CDC expects to see additional Zika cases in travelers, but the contiguous USA is not included in the World Health Organization’s list of countries with Zika outbreaks.

The WHO includes Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in its list of places with Zika outbreaks because the virus appears to be spreading there in the native mosquito population. Nineteen “locally acquired” cases of Zika have been detected in Puerto Rico, along with one in the U.S. Virgin Islands, in people who did not travel outside of the area.

Testing for Zika is difficult.

There are no commercial tests for the virus. Only a handful of labs in the USA can diagnose the infection, including one at the Centers for Disease Control and Infection, as well as facilities in California, Florida, New York, Puerto Rico and Hawaii.

There are also no vaccines or treatments for Zika. However, scientists are working on both, said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Doctors plan to use vaccines already in development against the West Nile virus to develop one against Zika. The same mosquito spreads both diseases. Fauci said an early trial of that vaccine in humans could begin this year.

A fully tested vaccine won’t be available this year or even next, he added.

Joint pain

Source Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Lower 48 free of outbreaks of Zika Although a number of returning U.S. travelers have been infected with the Zika virus while visiting Latin America, the mosquito-borne virus is not causing outbreaks in the contiguous USA, health officials said Thursday.

Thirty-one Americans in 11 states and Washington, D.C., have been diagnosed with a Zika infection contracted while traveling abroad, said Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One of the Zika cases is a pregnant woman in New York, which has two other cases.

Those are isolated cases, however, and very different from the Zika epidemic in Brazil, which had an estimated 1 million Zika infections by the end of last year. Right now, people on the U.S. mainland can only contract Zika if they travel to an area with a Zika epidemic.

The World Health Organization does not include the contiguouse U.S. in its list of outbreak countries.

In countries where Zika is spreading routinely, people can contract Zika in their homes, said Gonzalo Vazquez-Prokopec, an assistant professor in the department of environmental studies at Emory College in Atlanta.

Travelers frequently contract diseases while abroad.

The CDC diagnosed 14 returning travelers with Zika from 2007 to 2014. None of these cases sparked Zika outbreaks. Zika spreads best in tropical areas as warmth helps the virus reproduce, Vazquez-Prokopec said.

Ethan Couch, 18, is escorted Thursday off an airplane from Mexico City at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

VIDEO OF SHOOTING DEATH OF ORE. PROTESTER RELEASED

In an unexpected move, the FBI released video Thursday of state police officers fatally shooting one of the armed Oregon protesters who took over a remote wildlife refuge as a sign of protest against government land-grabbing and over-reaching.

Robert “LaVoy” Finicum, 54, died Tuesday during the arrest of ringleader Ammon Bundy and six others during a traffic stop near the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. His death was captured on video taken from a police helicopter that shot footage as Finicum, in a white truck, was pursued, confronted and killed by Oregon State Police officers.

“We realize that viewing that piece of the video will be upsetting to some people, but we feel that it is necessary to show the whole thing unedited in the interest of transparency,” said Greg Bretzing, the special agent in charge of the FBI field office in Portland. Supporters of the militants who took over the refuge had claimed Finicum was gunned down in cold blood and have used his death as an anti-government rallying cry.

SA’ IR , WEST BANK It was cold enough to snow this week in the nearby Hebron Hills, but Muataz Shalaldeh, whose family sells high-quality Israeli firewood to heat Palestinians’ stone homes, said business has plummeted 90% since a wave of Palestinian attacks on Israelis began four months ago.

That’s because his business has been disrupted by Israel’s crackdown in the West Bank to thwart Palestinian terror attacks.

Israel has deployed additional troops, established more checkpoints and closed more roads.

Shalaldeh is among the many law-abiding Palestinians paying an economic price for the more than 100 attacks carried out by other Palestinians that prompted the stern response from Israel.

The cost also goes beyond economics because people can’t visit relatives and have long wait times at roadblocks.

Muataz Shalaldeh, right, and his brother Ashraf say their firewood business is down 90% since September. raw materials,” Shalaldeh said, gazing at the rapidly dwindling supply of logs he and his brothers turn into firewood in their small log-cutting factory in this village 5 miles northeast of Hebron.

Although Israeli suppliers are willing to deliver the wood to one of the checkpoints that separate Israeli and Palestinian territory, “Palestinian truck drivers won’t drive to the checkpoints,” he said.

“They’re afraid of being interrogated or even shot by Israeli

“The principle is to enable people not involved in violence to go about their everyday tasks, but that’s not possible when an area is being used as a launching pad for terrorism.”

Peter Lerner, Israeli Defense Forces spokesman

The Israeli government says the tighter security is necessary to prevent additional attacks, which have claimed the lives of 26 Israelis and an American student as of Thursday.

At least 149 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, 104 of them identified by Israel as attackers, the Associated Press reported.

Shalaldeh sees the tighter security as collective punishment for all Palestinians.

“Winter is our high season, but we haven’t been able to receive

soldiers.”

Even if his factory was able to procure the wood — preferred over Palestinian wood because it is free of scorpions — Israeli troops “have basically closed all the entrances to Hebron,” the largest West Bank city and the firewood factory’s biggest market, Shalaldeh said.

Israel’s security crackdown “has had a dramatic impact” on the Palestinian economy, said Jawad Sayyed Al-Herbawi, CEO of the Hebron Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

“There has been an effect on imports, exports, on the commerce between different regions and cities in the West Bank and even Gaza,” Al-Herbawi said, noting that 40% of the Palestinian GDP is generated in the Hebron region of the southern West Bank.

Last October and November, the Palestinian economy lost $1.25 billion, and the public’s purchasing power in the Hebron region alone dropped 35%, according to the Chamber of Commerce.

About 58,000 Palestinians have government permits to work in Israel.

Al-Herbawi said about 35% of the legal workers in and around Hebron are now unemployed because their Israeli employees fired them over security concerns or workers fear interacting with soldiers at checkpoints.

In addition, some Jewish settlements in the West Bank decided to no longer employ the 27,000 Palestinian laborers who have permits to work there after a Palestinian stabbed to death a mother of six in her home near Hebron on Jan. 17.

Israel Defense Forces spokesman Peter Lerner said the military is doing what it can to minimize disruptions to Palestinian life.

But, Lerner says, security comes first.

A federal judge on Thursday delayed the sentencing hearing for former House speaker Dennis Hastert until April 8.

Hastert, 74, who pleaded guilty in October to one count of illegally structuring bank withdrawals to pay hush money to someone to cover up misconduct committed decades ago, suffered a small stroke in November and has been debilitated by blood and spinal infections, according to Hastert’s attorney John Gallo.

Judge Thomas Durkin agreed to push back sentencing for the former Illinois congressman, who was the longest serving GOP speaker in history.

Hastert was initially scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 29.

“But for 24-hour care, he’d be in a nursing home,” Gallo said during a hearing on Thursday.

Gallo added that Hastert’s doctor said he “nearly died” not long after his health problems started in early November.

Five things the company needs to do to get itself on track again

Phone sales are slowing. The stock market and world economy are wobbly. Apple’s secretive car project has apparently stalled.

Apple faces a bumpy road this year.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said as much Tuesday, after the company announced the slowest growth in the nine-year history of the iPhone, and Cook acknowledged that iPhone sales will decline, year over year, in the current quarter. He blamed vexing economic conditions in China, Russia, Brazil and elsewhere for the financial performance, which included declines in the sales of iPads and Macintoshes.

The company warned investors to expect revenue in the second quarter to fall up to 14% — not what investors want to hear from a “growth company.”

Wall Street reacted with alarm, sending Apple (AAPL) DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVG. shares down nearly 7% in trading Wednesday and raising questions over how Apple can kick-start growth.

16,100 They slipped further Thursday.

15,850 15,944 Standard & Poor’s 500, supposed to do?

INDEX

You probably already have an iPhone, if not two or three. But that’s the problem.

The smartphone market is increasingly looking like the PC market: mature and stagnant.

Consumers are slower to upgrade to the latest iPhone, as they see the one they have as being “good enough.” Making things even more difficult is the decision by carriers to do away with subsidized two-year contracts that masked the $650 price tag of iPhones.

Apple needs the iPhone 7 to be a winner. Apple gets 68% of its revenue from the smartphone.

The Apple Watch, billed as the biggest thing since the iPhone, doesn’t appear to have the broad appeal to make up for stalling growth of the smartphone. A new version of the Watch is expected in March, but barring killer features and apps, its standing in the consumer market isn’t likely to change much.

REACH EMERGING MARKETS

The developed world is up to the gills in smartphones and tablets already. But it’s a different story in emerging nations, where there could be growth left. Apple grew 14% last quarter in China.

But it’s unclear whether the company’s strategy of selling high-priced smartphones will appeal to a country with lower per-capita income than in the developed world. Winning over emerging nations won’t be as easy as some bulls thought, given Apple’s “sobering” commentary about the slowdown in China and other less-developed nations, said Abhey Lamba, an analyst at Mizuho Securities.

“The company indicated material softness in China,” Lamba said. Apple is expected to boost investment in India to

Shoppers come and go at an Apple store in Beijing on Wednesday.

HOW HWEE YOUNG, EPA

Apple Pay has failed to catch on with many large retailers.

Many of Apple’s services so far have fallen flat. Despite a $3 billion bet on Beats Music in 2014, its tweaked Apple Music streaming service trails leaders Pandora and Spotify and has failed to be a big revenue generator. Apple Pay made a splash with advertising but has failed to catch on because of reluctance by large retailers to hand over the relationship with their customers to Apple. Apple’s cloud services remain rudimentary, helping people to back up their photos — an area where competitors offer better solutions.

Apple needs to find a way to monetize the users of its 1 billion hardware devices.

PUT CASH TO BETTER USE

Apple has turned into a multibillion-dollar savings account. Apple ended the just-reported December quarter with $215.7 billion in cash and investments. That’s more than any other company in the Standard & Poor’s 500 and up 22% from a year ago. But the company isn’t doing much with the money, most of which is stored overseas to avoid the taxes owed if brought home.

Currently, 93% of Apple’s cash is overseas, says Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. Instead, the company has EPA been loading up on long-term debt — now to the tune of Apple $53 billion — to give it liquidity to pay a dividend and buy back shares.

CEO Rather than using cash for financial engineering, Apple Tim Cook should look to use it to buy start-ups in areas it is lacking, such as virtual reality, messaging and artificial intelligence.

Apple has scooped up more than 25 small companies over the past two and a half years, including recent purchases such as Emotient, a startup that uses artificial intelligence to read facial expressions, and Faceshift, whose motion-capture technology lets animated avatars double the facial movements of real actors.

Economy offers reasons to fear and cheer Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Call it the Jekyll-and-Hyde economy.

While blockbuster job gains point to an economy gaining momentum, disappointing economic growth is combining with other ominous signals to raise fears of a slowdown and even recession.

The evil Mr. Hyde is expected to emerge again Friday when the government weighs in with its first estimate of fourth-quarter economic growth. It’s not expected to be pretty. Economists reckon the economy grew just 0.8% at

an annual rate during the period.

Economists blame an anemic overseas economy for much of the disappointing U.S. growth.

The global woes have strengthened the dollar and clobbered oil prices, hurting U.S. manufacturers and energy investment.

Other indicators are also raising the specter of recession. The low, 5% unemployment rate is pushing up wages and narrowing corporate profit margins, JPMorgan says, a development often followed by reduced hiring and investment. The industrial sector is already in recession, according to Morgan Stanley. And corporate borrowing costs have risen while

SCOTT OLSON, GETTY IMAGES

Hiring by restaurants and other services has driven job growth in the economy.

U.S. stocks have fallen, partly on fears of a slowing economy.

But other economists have a brighter message: Follow the Je-

kyll-like employment totals, not the Hydean GDP numbers. “The U.S. economy has never gone into recession unless unemployment is rising,” says Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.

Some of the key reasons: uJob growth is easier to measure. The government counts new jobs by surveying households and business and government sites each month. That’s simpler “than trying to convey what’s happening in an $18 trillion economy,” says Michael Gapen, chief U.S economist of Barclays. For example, the government has not captured higher output through advances in chip

technology and smartphones that provide more features for small price increases, Zandi says. uMore jobs = more growth.

Firms don’t hire more workers unless their sales and the economy pick up. And strong hiring yields more spending and growth. uSome economic drags are blips. Several of the fourth-quarter headwinds were temporary, particularly a slowdown in business stockpiling that’s expected to reverse as firms right-size their inventories, Zandi says. uWeak productivity should pick up. The recovery is prodding workers to switch to jobs that better match their skills.

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

For anyone who’s forgotten, here’s a quick reminder that financial markets often have a way of doing what you don’t expect.

Back in December, the Federal Reserve boosted interest rates for the first time in almost a decade, nudging its benchmark rate up a quarter point from roughly zero.

The move was widely expected.

A lot has happened since then that caught investors by surprise.

First, stocks dropped sharply.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index is down almost 9% since then.

While some sort of pullback could be expected following a Fed move, nobody predicted that the stock market would have its worst start ever for a year.

Of course, there were factors

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

driving that plunge that had nothing to do with the Fed. The price of oil tanked, falling 25%.

Turmoil in China sparked concern that its slowing economy could also drag down the global economy — and possibly the U.S. The biggest surprise is what happened to interest rates. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note was 2.3% the day the fed raised rates. Now it is hovering down around 2%. So the market sent rates down more than onequarter percentage point since the Fed raised its target onequarter percentage point.

That’s partly because investors are looking for a safe place to ride out the turmoil, and U.S. Treasuries are about as safe as you can get. Also, there is a growing belief that tepid U.S. economic growth will slow future Fed rate hikes.

Still, if investors expected a zig, they got a big zag instead.

It’s hard for any stock to maintain a super status Q: Is Amazon’s stock damaged?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Amazon.com (AMZN) has given investors a primo ride for years. But that’s hard to maintain given the company’s skyhigh valuation and investors’ expectations.

The online retailer disappointed investors Thursday when it reported a 122% jump in adjusted quarterly profit of $1 a share. Most investors would be thrilled with that kind of quarterly growth from most companies. But Amazon investors were looking for 251% growth and pummeled the stock by about 10% after the market closed.

That’s the problem with Amazon.

Most agree it’s a well-run company with tremendous growth prospects. Analysts are calling for the company to grow by nearly 70% a year over the next five years, S&P Capital IQ says. But the debate is how much that growth is worth.

Amazon shares have nearly doubled over the past year to close Thursday up $52 to $635.35.

But that’s the problem. The stock is trading for 512 times its adjusted earnings over the past 12 months. That’s one of the highest valuations of any stock in the Standard & Poor’s 500 — and an astounding seven times higher than the expected growth rate.

Analysts think the stock will hit $750 in 18 months. But that’ll require blowing away expectations.

Amazon’s $482M haul in Q4 leaves investors frowning Elizabeth Weise USA TODAY

Amazon missed Wall Street expectations for the holiday quarter, sending shares in the high-flying stock diving.

The online retailer and cloud services company said it made $482 million in the fourth quarter, or $1 a share, more than double the year-ago quarter, but a glaring shortfall from the $1.58 per share expected by analysts polled by S&P Capital IQ. Sales for the December quarter gained 22% to $35.7 billion, just SAN FRANCISCO

STEPHEN BRASHEAR, GETTY IMAGES

The online retailer opened its first brick-and-mortar store in Seattle, above, in November.

shy of the $35.98 billion forecast by analysts.

Amazon (AMZN) shares dropped 13% on the news in af-

ter-hours trading Thursday. Last year it was one of the best-performing stocks, with shares more than doubling and driving its market cap past $300 billion. It’s pulled back a bit this year, losing 6%.

One of Amazon’s cash cows has been its cloud computing division, AWS. The cloud unit’s sales surged 69% to $2.4 billion, while profit more than doubled to $687 million.

However, the growth was slower than previous quarters. In October, Amazon reported AWS sales growth of 78% for the third quarter.

ALL THE MARKET ACTION IN REAL TIME. AMERICASMARKETS.USATODAY.COM

Investors had been betting on a big beat from Amazon after getting used to rising earnings in 2015, said John Divine, an analyst and assistant editor at InvestorPlace.com.

A dent in Amazon’s profits came from fulfillment, its costs for storing and delivering the goods it sells. That operating expense was $4.5 billion this quarter. “We saw fulfillment expenses rise 33% year-over-year, far faster than the 22% revenue growth, which is a trend you’d like to see reverse,” he said.

In part, that’s driven by the ongoing increase in Prime member-

ships, which bring in more sales but also come at the cost of free, two-day delivery.

Prime memberships grew 51% globally and 41% in the United States, Amazon Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky said on a call after earnings were released.

Consumer Intelligence Research Partners estimated that there were 54 million Prime members in the United States at the end of 2015. Prime members are highly lucrative for Amazon because they spend on average about $1,100 per year, compared with about $600 per year for non-members, according to CIRP.

‘Finest Hours’ is at its best in deep water Thrills of an angry sea are upended by tepid emotion The rescue drama The Finest Hours rocks the boat in terms of blizzardblitzed sea thrills but leaves you cold with its side love story.

One of the more feel-good disaster films you’re apt to see, the movie (ee out of four; rated PG-13; in theaters Friday nationwide) revisits the true story of a harrowing 1952 Coast Guard mission in which a small crew of sailors powered through a nasty New England Nor’easter to save men stuck on a oil tanker that split in half and sank to its doom. Director Craig Gillespie (Million Dollar Arm) captures the inherent bravery at the heart of Finest Hours even though things go nowhere on the homefront.

Chris Pine is serviceable cast against his usual swaggering sort here as Bernie Webber, the overly earnest Coast Guardsman who ultimately leads the saving journey through an icy deluge off the coast of Cape Cod. Meanwhile, his opposite number on the drowning tanker SS Pendleton, first assistant Ray Sybert (a stoically engaging Casey Affleck), is a soft-spoken working-class guy who has to take charge and keep his own men from flipping out after their ship is torn apart.

Bernie is haunted by a sea failure from his past, and when his REVIEW BRIAN TRUITT

Coast Guardsman Bernie Webber (Chris Pine) risks it all for the crew of an oil tanker caught in a storm off Cape Cod. Chatham station chief (Eric Bana) gives him his death-defying assignment to head out into the storm — which borders on the crazy, a feeling shared by many within earshot — he rounds up volunteers including veteran seamen Richard Livesey (Ben Foster) and Andy Fitzgerald (Kyle Gallner), as well as rookie Ervin Maske (John Magaro).

Hours is at its finest once it gets past the first 20 minutes — the opening sequence involving the painfully shy Bernie and love interest Miriam (Holliday Grainger) moves at a tugboat pace, but the action cruises when the Pendleton is torn apart by rough weather. The image of a crew member going up top to survey the damage and looking down to see the other

side of the ship not there anymore is striking and visceral.

Those sorts of scenes do more for the characters in Scott Silver, Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson’s screenplay than the time spent with the landlubbers. While her fiancé is out in the storm, Miriam is causing trouble with his boss or getting her car stuck in a snowdrift. Instead of adding an emotional lift to the story, she comes off as insufferable rather than devoted, and worse, Pine honestly turns out to have better chemistry with Foster than Grainger.

Overall, the personal relationships never come together the way the action scenes do, and consequently The Finest Hours isn’t as successful a voyage on the big screen as it was in real life.

functionality of the floor plan that really validate an analysis.

If selling or refinancing your home is part of your 2016 agenda, you will need to know the fair market value of what is probably your biggest asset.

This is the price a buyer will most likely agree to and you will find acceptable for the purchase of your house under normal circumstances.

“This is where Realtors with information on comparable sales and current competition are far more accurate than algorithm based estimates.

Active Realtors with boots on the ground have been inside many of the comparable homes and know how buyers perceived value.”

How do you calculate fair market value?

The most common way to determine fair market value is to look at the prices homes are selling for in the same area.

Since every neighborhood is different, it is important to look at the houses that are for sale or have recently sold in your specific area. Comparing the prices of houses similar to yours will give you an idea of what to expect.

“There are many factors that go into the valuation,” said Chris Earl, co-owner of Stephens Real Estate. “There are the obvious objective criteria like size and age, which are used in formula based valuations like the County Appraised value and many online sources. It is the subjective criteria like condition, When selling a home, coming supply, updated décor, and up with an accurate fair market

value is key to a successful sale. Earl noted, “A house is new to the market only one time and it is important to create motivation for potential buyers from the start.”

A homeowner can also hire an appraiser to determine the home’s value. The appraiser will conduct an on-site review of the house and then compare the property with sales of similar properties in the area.

The easiest way to find out your home’s market value is to consult a Realtor. A real estate professional has all of the data available to compare with your home, and knows how factors such as location, school districts, and home upgrades impact the final price.

However, knowing your home’s fair market value doesn’t mean it is the price you will get if you sell your

home. The number of people interested in buying and negotiations with a prospective buyer will impact the final sale price. Still, an accurate market value will give you a good starting point, and a Realtor can help you understand any variables that may come into play.

“A qualified agent can help the seller determine the best price and strategy,” Earl said.

“Ultimately, the price is up to the seller.”

Fiance’s gambling, drinking are too big to ignore Dear Annie: My fiance and I became engaged a year ago. He has many good qualities: He is really sweet most of the time, and he is a good provider. He takes me on nice trips and buys me lovely presents.

He even rubs my feet and cooks for me.

However, there are three bad qualities that give me grief. Like all couples, we argue now and then. But about once a week, we stay up all night arguing and can’t get to work the next day.

He hangs out at the casino into the wee hours of the morning. Last week, he came home at 5:30 a.m. He says he does it just to make me angry.

Two weeks ago, he left on Sunday afternoon and didn’t return until Monday morning. Then he wonders why I don’t trust him.

The other problems are that he drinks heav-

ily and he likes to gamble a lot. I’ve prayed that God will allow him to be the man I need and deserve. When we first started dating, I didn’t see any of these signs. I knew he frequented the casino, but it didn’t seem so bad.

Now he says he will work on coming home so late if I stop fussing.

I told him if it happens again, the relationship is over. But he refuses to stop gambling. Can he possibly change? Please help me. I love this man,

Mediocrity on TV and Netflix “Undateable” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-14) concludes its third season and NBC’s experiment of airing a sitcom as a continuing live event. The audience never rivaled that for the network’s live musicals. While there’s no word yet of a season four, I was rather shocked that “Undateable” ever reached a second season.

Friday nights used to be where TV shows went to die.

Now they are where weakerperforming series can live forever.

Speaking of immortality, the CW has moved “The Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals” to Fridays.

See below.

O Two young finalists face off before a winner is announced on “MasterChef: Junior” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG). Beginning next Friday, “Sleepy Hollow” returns from its winter nap. It will join “Second Chance” in another network time shift.

O Netflix’s ability to attach itself to popular prestige projects is no secret. Its recent drama “Beasts of No Nation” has been showered with great reviews and award nominations.

At the same time, Netflix has a four-movie deal with Adam Sandler, an actor/writer whose films are routinely savaged by critics and usually nominated for Razzie Awards, the anti-Oscars celebration of terrible movies.

Now available on Netflix, Sandler’s 2015 spoof Western “The Ridiculous 6” received a zero percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer.

That’s pretty rare.

In addition to “Ridiculous,” Sandler appeared in three other films in 2015. He’s also nominated for a worst actor Razzie in two films, “The Cobbler” (from 2014) and “Pixels.”

Sandler fans without Netflix can catch his much-maligned work in “Big Daddy” (7 p.m., TV Land) from 1999 and the 2002 comedy “Mr. Deeds” (7:57 p.m., Comedy Central).

Tonight’s other highlights

O Snowboarding, snowmo-

bile freestyle and women’s skiing are on the schedule at the Winter X Games (6 p.m., ESPN).

O A pizza chain CEO is spread too thin on “Undercover Boss” (7 p.m., CBS).

O Juliette returns, and so does the fifth season of “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

O Nia Long and Terrence J host the 24th Annual Trumpet Awards (8 p.m., Bounce), honoring African-American culture.

O Maggie Gyllenhaal narrates “Truth and Power” (9 p.m., Pivot, TV-14). The second episode of the 10-part series, “Government-Sponsored Spyware,” profiles two hackers who discovered that a foreign government was tracking their every keystroke.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, Jan. 29: This year encourage yourself to be nonreactive and to look at the big picture first. When you come from a place of detachment, the results will be much better. A friend can be a source of good advice. If you are single, you often find that the person you’re attracted to seems to be emotionally unavailable. If you are attached, treat your sweetie like your best friend.

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) ++++ What begins as a calm day could end in a misunderstanding and/or a power play. Slow down. Tonight: TGIF with friends.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++ Reach out to a loved one who generally is the source of excellent feedback and powerful insight. Tonight: Celebrate the weekend.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ In a discussion with a friend, you might decide to buck someone else’s plan. Tonight: Follow a friend’s lead.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++ Sometimes your instincts are very good. Take the day off or work from home, if possible.

Tonight: Let a party happen close to home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++++ Have a long-overdue conversation. You know how to

say the truth without hurting somebody’s feelings. Tonight: Be impulsive.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) +++ Curb a possessive streak.

Be willing to make strong choices about your personal life. Tonight: Clear up a misunderstanding.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++ Continue to maintain a low profile. A conversation about finances will be very uncomfortable. Tonight: Do your thing.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ You have a serious tone this year, which often helps you to stay out of trouble. Tonight: TGIF at a favorite place!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) +++ At present, you have a charming way of saying “no.” Feel free to do just that. Tonight: Out on the town.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ You might decide that you have made a faulty judgment.

Be willing to say so. Tonight: Do the unexpected.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Money doesn’t make up for losses The lack of money can buy misery to someone carrying great responsibilities. A surplus of cash can ease stress, but it can’t buy happiness.

Kentucky coach John Calipari is in the second season of a seven-year, $52.5 million contract.

That’s $7.5 million a year.

Kansas coach Bill Self is in the fourth season of a 10-year deal that guarantees him nearly $50 million, plus incentives.

Barring a classic game along the lines of the Oklahoma-Kansas game the Jayhawks won 109-106 early this month in Allen Fieldhouse, one of the coaches will head home in a miserable mood. The sweet sound of jingling pockets won’t bring him any cheer.

The top of the coaching profession offers a most handsome living, but it sure can bring some ugly nights. The less experience coaches have at losing, the tougher it is to remove the stink of defeat from their minds.

These two men seldom lose. Calipari has a 206-42 record at Kentucky, an .831 winning percentage. Self is 368-82 at Kansas, an .818 success rate.

For comparison purposes, consider that Baylor’s Scott Drew has coached the Bears to the Elite Eight twice. He has coached nine games in Allen Fieldhouse.

Self has coached 209 games in the building named after the father of modern coaching, Phog Allen.

Drew and Self have lost the same number of games (nine) in the building. Self’s 200-9 record computes to a .957 winning percentage.

Calipari is 114-4 in Rupp Arena, a .967 success rate.

Drew’s Baylor Bears remain the only team outside of the SEC to pin a loss on Calipari in Rupp.

The more a coach wins, the deeper the losses sting.

The bigger the job and paycheck, the greater the responsibilities.

At the Final Four in San Antonio, a friend suggested I ask Calipari about sleeping on a cot he had claimed in Allen Fieldhouse.

He looked so happy reflecting on his years (1982-85) as an assistant coach under Ted Owens and Larry Brown.

“I had just gotten to Lawrence,” Calipari said. “They were throwing these cots away because the whole Allen Fieldhouse was a triage, so it was filled with cots. So I didn’t have a bed.

(Someone said) ‘They’re throwing these out. Take one of these.’ I got the wide cot. I had to put a piece of wood under it. That was my first bed.”

It wouldn’t do now. You lug around the pressure these guys do every day and you need a more comfortable place to rest your weary back.

“But I’m telling you,” Calipari said, “it was the best time of my life. I had

KANSAS FORWARD CARLTON BRAGG JR. (15) FIGHTS FOR A REBOUND WITH OKLAHOMA STATE GUARD LEYTON HAMMONDS (23) during the second half of the Cowboys’ 86-67 win Tuesday, Jan. 19 at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla.

Freshman forward satisfied with decision

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Carlton Bragg Jr. heard from a few Kentucky fans on Twitter last year after stumbling over his words a bit when announcing his college choice. “(Some said) I should have gone there and it was a mistake. Some said, ‘everybody makes mistakes. Just learn from it,’’’ Bragg, Kansas University’s 6-foot-9 freshman forward from Cleveland reflected on Thursday.

On Jan. 8, 2015, in a ceremony in his Villa Angela St. Joseph High gym, Bragg placed a KU hat on his head and declared, “Next year I’ll be playing at the University of Kentucky.” He immediately covered his face with his hands and quickly corrected, “Kansas. I’m sorry.”

No harm. No foul. In fact, at the end of a news conference, Bragg was given a chance to repeat the start of his signing ceremony.

“Next year I’ll be playing college basketball for the University of Kansas,” he

said, smiling, the proceedings recorded for posterity.

Currently Bragg, who also had Illinois as one of his three finalists, prepares to actually play against Kentucky in a 6 p.m., tip, Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

“It was close, very close,” he said of his decision to pick KU over UK. “I think it (UK) was very good. It just wasn’t a great fit for me.”

Both teams enter with 16-4 records.

“Coming out of conference, having this big game, the two winningest programs (in college hoops) going head-to head. This is what the college game is all about,” Bragg said.

“Coach (Bill Self) says it’s just another game on the schedule. It can’t hurt us.

All it can do is help us going (back) into conference play and actually going into the (NCAA) tournament. It’s actually a big game for us.”

Bragg realizes Kentucky has great athleticism and the ability to block shots.

Future Kansas University basketball player Udoka Azubuike, who orally committed to KU over North Carolina and Florida State on Thursday on ESPNU, happens to be a 16-yearold true center from Nigeria — who, despite not yet starting a weight-lifting program — stands a stout 6-foot-11, 270 pounds.

Free State’s Torneden commits to KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

One week after learning that local prospect Amani Bledsoe, the top-ranked player in Kansas, was headed to Oklahoma instead of joining the Jayhawks, the Kansas University football program got a dose of good hometown news on Thursday night.

Free State High quarterback Bryce Torneden, who figures to play safety in college, announced on 1320 KLWN that he would join the KU program instead of heading to North Dakota State, where he committed earlier in 2015.

According to a couple of Please see KEEGAN, page 3C Free State High coaches,

Torneden was offered a full scholarship and that, along with the opportunity to play close to home made all the difference.

“It’s right in my back yard,” Torneden said of KU. “Fargo (North Dakota) being nine hours away, that’s a lot to put on my family and I want them to be able to see me play.”

Like his older brother Camren before him, Torneden was one of the Sunflower League’s most dynamic players during the past couple of seasons and a key component to the recent success enjoyed by the Firebirds.

Torneden combined for 2,452 yards of total offense at quarterback last sea-

son, running for 11 touchdowns and throwing for 12 touchdowns. At free safety, Torneden had 84 tackles and four interceptions, earning first-team all-state honors.

He said getting a chance to play in the Big 12 under another Lawrence native in KU defensive coordinator Clint Bowen was too appealing to pass up.

“Being a hometown kid, going to be a part of something special in your own town, I definitely want to be a part of that,” he said. “I talked to coach Bowen a lot about safety, but I’m up for playing wherever they need me.”

Free State girls down Great Bend in Classic

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High junior Madison Piper faced double teams in the post and was face-guarded on the perimeter against Great Bend on Thursday in the first round of the Firebird Winter Classic.

The Panthers denied the ball to Piper and dared anybody else on Free State’s girls basketball team to beat them.

Enter junior guard Jaycie Bishop and the rest of the Firebirds, who shot 64 percent (7-of-11) from the floor in the second quarter. Their hot shooting helped the Firebirds to an 11-point halftime lead and an eventual 56-43 victory at FSHS. Bishop, a 5-foot-4 lefthander, scored 11 of her season-high 13 points in the second quarter, including three triples and a layup in transition.

“I think we took a lot of time as a team to prepare for this,” Bishop said. “We knew going in that these were a lot of teams that we were going to face in sub-state. We had to mentally prepare for that and play like it is sub-state.”

Bishop’s sharpshooting was contagious for the rest of the team in the second quarter. Senior guard Caiti Schlesener hit two three-pointers and sophomore point guard Cameryn Thomas scored three points with a free throw and a drive through the paint for a layup.

The Firebirds (8-2, ranked No. 6 in Class 6A) led by double-digits for most of the second half after scoring on three straight possessions in the third quarter. Sophomore Jaelyn Two Hearts scored on a putback, senior guard Hannah Walter made a layup and Bishop hit a mid-range jumper.

“We were definitely on fire from the perimeter,” Bishop said.

Piper was held to a

“They are great with it, pretty good with the blocking (116 to KU’s 81), but I don’t think it’ll stop us,” Bragg said.

Bragg — he averages 4.6 points and 2.8 boards in 10.6 minutes per contest — said he’s satisfied with the way things have gone this season.

“I’m just playing my role, seeing coach’s vision. He knows more than me,” Bragg said. “I’m just being patient, waiting my turn. When he plays me he plays me.”

He’s learned some things while watching.

I like the center position. I do. That’s what I’ve been trained to do. It’s what I do.”

— Kansas recruit Udoka Azubuike describing his game I’ve been trained to do.

It’s what I do,” said Azubuike, also a fan of former KU center Joel Embiid of Cameroon, who is a second-year member of the Philadelphia 76ers.

“I talk to him sometimes. I talked to him this morning. He spoke to me about Kansas and all that,” said Azubuike, who said he did a “background check on Kansas. I just had that good feeling I’m going to be productive in Kansas.”

Azubuike won’t be eligible age-wise for the NBA Draft for two years, so he’ll have some time to develop at KU. He’s only played the game four years (being discovered in the Basketball Without Borders program). He played soccer as a youth.

“I need to work on my hook shot, going to my left and right, pretty much work on running the floor,” Azubuike said. “I feel very much inside of me I can go in and compete. I feel really confident in myself. I can go to Kansas and really be productive.

“It’s been a rough journey,” he added of traveling from Nigeria to a new land. “Coming over

here ... the transition wasn’t easy. Through the process I got to learn the game more. I can go for everything. I’m real thankful.”

Dressed in black suit, white shirt and silver bow tie with fashionable thick black glasses, Azubuike on ESPNU’s recruiting show placed a KU hat on his head as he declared for the Jayhawks.

“It is definitely a great day,” Coxsome said. “It’s definitely a weight off his shoulders. Finally he has a chance to get back to doing what he does best.

That’s play basketball. It’s definitely a great day. It’s been a tough decision. He built a relationship with coach Self and coach Williams (Roy, UNC). It came down to the wire honestly, to what he felt was best for him.”

Asked what KU fans will like about Azubuike the most, Coxsome said: “He brings a lot of energy. He loves the spotlight.

He doesn’t shy away from it and he’s going to work hard.”

Azubuike believes he’ll fit in well here. “The love for the game is there. I’m living my dreams,” he said.

KU, which loses senior scholarship players Jamari Traylor, Perry Ellis and Hunter Mickelson, and likely additional players to the NBA Draft, has at least one scholarship left to give in recruiting. KU has signed No. 117-ranked Mitch Lightfoot, 6-8 from Gilbert (Arizona) Christian.
