Lawmakers consider stricter welfare requirements

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — After passing a welfare restriction bill last year that drew national media attention, Kansas lawLEGISLATURE makers are now considering

another bill that would impose even more requirements on poor people who receive cash and food assistance.

The Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee heard testimony Monday

on a bill that would require all adults in a household that receives benefits, not just the recipient, to verify their identities and incomes. And it would subject all adult household members to the same work

requirements as the person receiving benefits.

It would also subject people to monitoring for possible fraud if they request four or more replacement benefit cards in a 12-month period. And

Juvenile justice bill spurs debate

it would suspend benefits to recipients if they don’t cooperate with fraud investigations, or if they win $10,000 or more in a Kansas Lottery jackpot.

January tax collections $7M below projections

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Kansas collected $7 million less in taxes than expected in January, and a top aide to Republican Gov. Sam Brownback said Monday that ongoing problems in key parts of the state’s economy are to blame.

The report Monday from the Department of Revenue came with the House Appropriations and Senate Ways and Means committees preparing later this week to debate proposals for balancing the budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1.

The deficit had been projected at $190 million; the shortfall in January pushes it close to $200 million.

The department said the state collected $535 million in taxes last month instead of the $542 million projected in a fiscal forecast issued in November. The shortfall is Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo 1.3 percent.

Mass of Christian Burial for Pete Louis James, Sr. 90, Lawrence will be held at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, February 6, 2016 at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church.

Burial will follow at Mt. Calvary Cemetery, with Military Honors.

Pete passed peacefully Saturday, January 30, 2016 at his home.

Pete was born August 19, 1925 in McFarland, KS the son of Eufracio and Rosa (Galvan) Jaimez.

He was a member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church and Our Lady of Guadalupe Choir.

He loved his guitar and played Spanish music with his family and church. He enjoyed working on cars, home projects, and he especially loved his Chihuahua dogs he bred.

Pete worked at Stokely Van Camp and retired after 35 years. He later worked at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

He married Mary Rodriquez on January 29, 1946 in Kansas City, KS. She preceded him in death on October 13, 2015.

Lawrence Transit seeks community input

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Lawrence transit users will have the opportunity on five occasions this month to provide input on Lawrence Transit System’s proposed changes to six of its routes.

The changes, which would start in August, affect the routes particularly in the southeast and northwest areas of Lawrence.

All of the system’s current destinations — such as East Hills Business Park, Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Rock Chalk Park — would keep their service, but they’d be part of different routes and have buses stop at different times, said transit administrator Robert Nugent.

Nugent said the changes proposed were based on ridership.

“People move around a lot,” Nugent said. “If you don’t watch and see what’s going on and watch their ridership level on routes

and see how your routes are performing on time, if you don’t monitor that all the time, I think you’re lacking on your duties.

And so we watch it all the time.”

Under the proposed changes: l Route 1, which currently moves between downtown and Prairie Park, would stop its service to Prairie Park and instead go to East Hills Business Park. l Route 5, serving East Hills Business Park and the Lawrence Community Shelter, would no longer go to East Hills Business Park. l Route 15, created to serve Peaslee Technical Training Center, would start going to Prairie Park, too. l Route 3, a flex route that picks people up downtown and takes them anywhere in the north-central area of the city, would become a fixed route in that same

area. It would serve Lawrence Memorial Hospital. l Route 6, which goes from downtown to the Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive intersection, would extend to Rock Chalk Park. It would stop serving Lawrence Memorial Hospital. l Route 9, between the Wal-Mart on Sixth Street and the Wal-Mart on south Iowa Street, would no longer serve Rock Chalk Park.

Nugent said the changes would make the routes “less confusing.”

“We’ve seen some issues with the routes that we need to correct,” he said.

After Lawrence Transit System receives input on the changes from riders and drivers, it will start planning the stop times for each location.

Four public meetings will be held at Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., in meeting room C. They are scheduled from 5 to 6 p.m. Feb. 16;

A fifth meeting is scheduled from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Feb. 17 in the Governor’s Room in the Kansas Union, 1301 Jayhawk Blvd., on the KU campus.

Central transfer hub Lawrence Transit System is also working to advance its proposal for a new central transfer hub to be located on the KU campus.

The transit system has been searching for a location for its hub for more than two years.

In October, Lawrence and KU transit leaders introduced the idea of locating it in a parking lot in front of KU’s Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center.

Nugent said Monday that KU had agreed to work with the city to develop the hub at that site.

discussion about race and the Confederate flag will be held for Free State High School students Wednesday morning.

A Free State student had been displaying the Confederate flag from a makeshift flagpole on his truck that he parked on campus. After about a week of the display, school administration disallowed the student from bringing the flag on school grounds. District officials have said that decision was based on the fact that the flag was disrupting the learning environment (as opposed to the flag in itself).

Four Free State students have started a petition to ban the flag districtwide, which is currently circulating at both high schools.

Late last week, the petition had about 200 signatures, but I haven’t heard an updated count yet this week. Any change to district policy would have to be discussed and voted on by the Lawrence school board in a public meeting.

The four students have plans to add the petition for a districtwide ban to an upcoming meeting.

The next meeting is Feb. 8, but the agenda hasn’t yet been set.

The discussion is being hosted by the school’s Can We Talk Club, which focuses on issues of race.

The group meets every other Wednesday, and this week’s regularly scheduled meeting will be used to discuss the Confederate flag issue and will also include a few guests, according to Free State Principal Myron Graber.

BALDWIN CITY

Fire Tree rezoning sent back to planning commission Twitter: @ElvynJ

Swayed by the opposition of Fire Tree subdivision residents, the Baldwin City Council voted Monday to send back to the planning commission a rezoning request that would have allowed construction of duplexes in the north end of the neighborhood.

The request was to change the current R1 single-family home zoning on property at 700 Ridge Lane to R2, which would allow construction of two-unit connected-roof duplexes. Just a week ago, the council voted 5-0 to approve the Baldwin City Planning Commission’s recommendation the rezoning be approved.

By state statute, the council could only consider the rezoning request without consideration of development proposals for the property. However, future plans were revealed during a following request from the developer, Andrew Danner of North Star

The Journal-World was able to confirm that Nadia Imafidon, who is a Free State graduate and an employee of The World Company, will be one of the guest speakers. Other guest speakers weren’t confirmed as of Monday evening.

The events have generated lots of public conversation, both on social media and Journal-World forums, but district officials said the discussion on Wednesday would be particularly for Free State students to have an open conversation on the topic.

Because the club’s discussions are meant to be a “safe space” where all students can voice their thoughts, Wednesday’s meeting is open only to Free State students (as

state Senate confirmation or other role for lawmakers. Five of the nominating commission’s members, including its chairman, are attorneys elected by other attorneys.

The House Judiciary Committee last year approved rival proposals, meaning the full chamber can debate them. One calls for the partisan election of Supreme Court justices, and the other would abolish the nominating commission and have the governor make the appointments, subject to Senate confirmation.

Changing the selection process requires amending the Kansas Constitution, and a proposal must be adopted by two-thirds majorities in both chambers and approved by a simple majority of voters in a statewide election. The GOP has supermajorities in both chambers, but Democrats and enough moderate Republicans have opposed changes to keep a measure from passing the House.

“I’m hoping to increase the temperature to where we find out that people are ready to do the right thing,” said

Lighthouse Baptist Church owns the triangular piece of property wedged between Ridge Lane and North 400 Road, but has an agreement to sell it to North Star contingent on its rezoning.

No one spoke at a Jan. 25 public hearing when the first reading of the rezoning was considered.

That changed Monday as seven Fire Tree residents stepped to the microphone to oppose the building of duplexes in their neighborhood.

The residents said the rezoning would negatively affect their property values, change its character and esthetics and add traffic to streets.

They all said they were told when they brought their lots that the remaining phases of Fire Tree development would be

exclusively single-family homes.

The opposition was enough to change the votes of council members Steve Bauer, Christi Darnell and Kathy Gerstner, who all voted against approving the planning commission’s recommendation.

“We didn’t have public here at the last meeting,” Darnell said. “What people who live in that community think matters considerably.”

The vote did not kill the rezoning because state statute requires a “supermajority” council vote of 4-1 to override a planning commission recommendation.

Because there weren’t enough council votes to approve or override the recommendation, the only remaining option was to send the matter back to the planning commission for reconsideration, citing the duplex development as being out of character with and detrimental to the neighborhood, which was defined as being that part of

Fire Tree north and west of Firetree Avenue and Flame Way. Immediately after that vote, the council voted 4-1 to support North Star Housing’s application for affordable housing tax credits from the Kansas Housing Resource Corporation to help finance the duplex project.

Danner told the council that same housing program was used to construct the duplexes on the south entrance to Fire Tree. Their existence indicated duplexes were compatible with the subdivision, he said.

Bauer voted against the resolution, saying it would harm Flint Hills Holding’s application for the tax credit program to help convert the old middle school into apartments. The council voted Jan. 25 to support that application.

With the vote of support, Danner told the council he intended to continue to pursue the duplex project.

Nugent said he was planning a meeting with university officials to plan the next steps on the project.

The proposed facility would include a parking deck with the first floor serving as a transit center.

The Can We Talk club began at Lawrence High School in 2009, according to the district’s website.

Four local AfricanAmerican men — Willie Amison, Craig Butler, Ed Brunt and Bud Stallworth — began volunteering with LHS with the goal of helping to eliminate barriers to student achievement by providing adult mentors for students of color.

The club has since expanded not only to Free State, but to the district’s middle schools as well.

In 2010, the school board presented Outstanding Citizen Awards to the program’s founders.

Wednesdays are late-arrival days for high school students in the district, and the discussion will take place before school begins, from 8 to 9 a.m.

House Majority Leader Jene Vickrey, a Louisburg Republican.

The state’s voters approved the current selection system as a constitutional amendment in 1958, replacing the election of justices. Supporters argue that the system has minimized partisan politics in the selection process and accuse GOP conservatives of seeking to limit judicial independence.

Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said the governor is calling for “a more democratic process.”

The first House GOP caucus and the Judiciary Committee briefing will focus on the cases of Jonathan and Reginald Carr, two brothers who were sentenced to die for four murders in Wichita in December 2000 following a night of mayhem in which they sexually abused and robbed their victims.

The Kansas Supreme Court overturned their death sentences in July 2014, partly because the brothers didn’t have separate sentencing hearings.

The decisions generated widespread criticism, including from Brownback and legislators, and last week the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Kansas court’s decisions.

House bill addresses teen sexting Kansas legislators heard testimony Monday on a House bill that would create new penalties for transmitting and possessing nude photos of children between the ages of 12 and 19 years old.

Republican Rep. Ramon Gonzales of Perry, who first introduced the bill last year, called the measure an alternative to current laws that make first-time sexual exploitation of a child under 18 years old a felony.

Those laws apply only to

Senate Bill 372 comes on the heels of a bill lawmakers passed last year that, among other things, prohibited welfare recipients from using their benefits cards to withdraw more than $25 a day from an ATM and from spending their benefits at a variety of places, including liquor stores, casinos, tattoo parlors and lingerie shops.

During a hearing Monday, the committee heard tearful testimony in favor of the bill from Lucy Ross, a Lawrence resident who said the state’s work requirements, and the support she received from a local counseling agency, enabled her to turn her life around and become self-sufficient.

Ross said she was homeless, jobless and living out of her car in 2012 when she moved to Lawrence to stay with a friend, and then learned she was pregnant again.

But that arrangement didn’t last long and she eventually took refuge in the Lawrence Community Shelter.

While there, Ross said she enrolled in an employment preparation program run by Jennie Tesch, a contractor who works with the Kansas Department for Children and Families.

“She helped me with my resume, prepare for interviews, my attire and she could tell that I was determined,” Ross said. “Even though I was pregnant, I was still determined to get out of the shelter and out on my own and provide for my family.”

After going through periods of health problems and other financial crises, Ross said she

Kansas lawmakers are pledging support of legislation that seeks to make state government more transparent.

a failing grade when the Center for Public Integrity rated state transparency last year.

One of the Senate bills would address a loophole in the state’s records law that allows officials to conduct business on private email.

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, is sponsoring a bill that would change the Open Meetings Act so public bodies have to disclose more information when they go into closed sessions.

Jury selection begins in quadruple murder

LUCY ROSS, LEFT, AND JENNIE TESCH, both of Lawrence, testified Monday in favor of a bill that would strengthen work requirements for people who receive cash and food assistance through the state. Ross said the employment preparation she received from Tesch, a contractor with the state, helped her land a job and become self-sufficient. finally landed a full-time job with benefits in 2015, working for a company that does child support collection for DCF. Sandra Kimmons, director of economic and employment security at DCF, said the agency began imposing work requirements for ablebodied adults receiving welfare benefits in 2013.

That policy was codified into law with passage of last year’s legislation.

She said that in the first nine months of the policy, the rate of employment among that population tripled, to 34.7 percent.

“The goal is to support, which provides dignity and purpose to our recipients,” she said.

But Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka, questioned whether Ross would have been able to remain on assistance for as long as she did under the rules that now exist in the program.

Rebekah Gaston, director of the childhood hunger initiative at Kansas Appleseed, a Lawrencebased advocacy agency, said the new requirements have put a heavy

burden on people who qualify for benefits, and the proposed bill would only make the problem worse. She urged lawmakers to reject the bill, and also to go back and repeal some of the new requirements added in last year’s bill.

“I think everyone in this room and most policymakers and advocates would agree that lifting Kansans out of poverty is an important policy goal,” she said. “However, the disconnected patchwork approach that we’ve been taking over the past few years, including an everlengthening to-do list

District court administrator John Steelman said 600 jury summons were initially sent out. After examining questionnaires, 137 potential jurors were summoned to appear in groups of six. for recipients, cutting off benefits for extended periods of time, even for minor infractions, and excluding new groups from eligibility entirely is not going to reduce poverty in Kansas.”

But Sen. Jacob LaTurner, R-Pittsburg, challenged Gaston about the idea of loosening restrictions.

“You mentioned the benefits of children being on a safety net program,” he told Gaston. “The benefits of a child having a parent that’s working and is productive in society has to be far greater than relying upon safety nets.”

But Gaston said child care assistance and food assistance programs support families that are working.

“And that’s why these programs are so important,” she said. “Because cash assistance is able to serve as a short-term stopgap to make sure that a family can afford diapers, or transportation, or a cellphone so they’re able to call and get a job during that temporary time.”

The committee has not yet announced when it plans to vote on sending the bill to the full Senate.

Nothing to hide Open government benefits both state officials and the public to whom they are accountable.

I

f Kansans don’t know what their state government is doing, it should be their own fault, not the result of closed meetings or hidden emails.

That’s the spirit of a pledge that a new coalition of open government advocates is asking Kansas legislators to sign. The pledge doesn’t include support of any specific legislation but it asks lawmakers to keep in mind throughout the legislative session that they are working on behalf of the Kansas public and whatever they are doing should be done in an open and transparent manner.

Lawrence residents can be proud that one of their local representatives, Rep. John Wilson, was one of the first two signers of the “Open Kansas” pledge last week.

Although the pledge includes no commitments on legislation, a couple of issues that are scheduled for hearings today in the Senate Judiciary Committee certainly fit the spirit of “Open Kansas.”

One measure would close an important loophole that allows state officials to evade the Kansas Open Records Act by using their private email accounts to conduct public business. Senate Bill 361 would make officials’ communication about state business subject to the Open Records Act “regardless of form, characteristics or location.”

The committee also is set to take up an open meetings measure sponsored by another Lawrence legislator, Sen. Marci Francisco. That bill, SB 360, would require public bodies to provide more specific information about why they are going into closed executive sessions. For example, instead of saying they are going to discuss personnel matters, Francisco told a Wichita newspaper, they “would have to say something like unauthorized use of a credit card.” The goal is to give the public some idea what’s actually being discussed behind closed doors.

The spirit of open government expressed in the coalition pledge might also ease some internal dealings in state government. Legislators recently expressed surprise and concern over a couple of major financial actions that were completed without legislative input or oversight. One was a $400 million bond issue by the Kansas Department of Transportation that calls for only the interest on the bonds to be paid for the first decade. The other was a $19.9 million lease deal that the Department of Administration signed with the Bank of America to finance the construction of a new power plant to serve state office buildings in Topeka.

The action is tied to the Department of Administration’s plan to demolish the Docking State Office Building, which houses the current power plant — a plan that hasn’t received legislative approval.

When it comes to government actions, legislators don’t like to be surprised — and neither does the public.

Transparency is the key to government accountability. The open government pledge is a timely reminder that all state officials should be willing to support.

Pope should focus on immigration When he visits Mexico in mid-February, Pope Francis, who has made the plight of migrants one of the central themes of his papacy, should have no mercy with Republican hopeful Donald Trump.

Francis will have a unique opportunity to expose Trump as a pathological liar on immigration matters, just after the key Republican primary in New Hampshire, when most Americans will begin to seriously tune into the race for the U.S. November elections. It will be Francis’ best opportunity to have a real impact on the immigration debate.

I will probably never get a job as a papal speechwriter, but if I were on Francis’ team, this is what I would suggest he say during his scheduled Feb. 17 visit to the Mexico-U.S. border city of Ciudad Juarez, where he is widely expected to address the immigration issue. Here it goes: “I greet all of you with special affection!” he should start saying. “As you know, migrants have always been very close to my heart. I come from a country of European migrants, who moved to this continent in search of building new lives, leaving behind wars and economic hardships. My own father was a migrant.

“As we have said since my first official trip abroad when I visited Lampedusa, Sicily, to commemorate the thousands of migrants who

For instance, Francis’ statements would draw attention on a recent Pew Research Center study showing that immigration in the United States has actually dropped in recent years.”

died trying to cross the sea from North Africa, we must fight against the globalization of indifference. We have become used to other people’s suffering. We don’t care.

“What’s worse, people running for top political offices in some of the world’s richest countries are using the immigration issue as a demagogic tool to frighten people. They cite false figures to inject fear in their countries’ populations, and to present themselves as saviors of the fatherland.

“There are some of these fear-mongering presidential hopefuls who promise to

erect walls along the borders to stop an alleged invasion of migrants, when the truth is that the flow of migrants has gone down sharply in their countries.

“These fear-mongers incite crowds with proposals to deport millions of undocumented workers, most of whom are law-abiding citizens who contribute to their adopted countries’ economy. Their families would be divided by mass deportations. Children would be separated from their parents.

“These demagogues try to dehumanize undocumented migrants by calling them ‘illegals,’ as if they were objects, rather than human beings who deserve our Christian love.

“Dear friends, in this very place, the crossroads of two great nations, let us state that you cannot claim to be a good Christian while advocating for policies that are based on false premises, and that would cause great human suffering.”

If Francis makes a speech along those lines, many Americans may become interested in learning more about immigration, and would realize the extent to which Trump — and most other Republican hopefuls, for that matter — are misleading the public.

For instance, Francis’ statements would draw attention on a recent Pew Research Center study showing that immigration in the

United States has actually dropped in recent years.

Today’s estimated 11 million undocumented residents make up 3.5 percent of the U.S. population, down from 4 percent in 2007, the study said.

What’s more, contrary to Trump’s claims that there is an avalanche of Mexican migrants, the Pew Research study cites U.S. and Mexican government data showing that there is a reverse migration going on: one million Mexicans left from the United States to Mexico over the past five years, whereas 870,000 Mexicans crossed the border into the United States.

And a wall along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border would not only cost billions of dollars, but would be a waste of time and money: Up to 45 percent of the undocumented migrants don’t enter the country through the border, but fly in by plane and overstay their visas, according to a previous Pew Research Center study.

My opinion: During his visit to Mexico, Francis should not mince words to denounce Trump’s misleading anti-immigrant rhetoric.

While the pope, true to Vatican style, will probably not name any presidential hopeful by name, he should come as close as he can to single out Trump’s racist demagoguery.

PUBLIC FORUM

Free speech To the editor: I am sickened that Free State High School chooses to deny the right of free speech to the student who expresses a small-minded, ugly opinion by displaying a Confederate flag.

This action sends a most un-American message, to students and public alike, squandering an excellent opportunity to present several important lessons. Official rhetoric notwithstanding, the school’s focus is not on education, but censorship.

The display of a Confederate flag presents a perfect opportunity to discuss slavery, the related but distinct evolution of American racial prejudice, the Civil War, anti-discrimination laws, and free speech itself. These studies may help the entire student body learn to articulate how and why this one student so poorly understands and appreciates what it means to be an American.

The school should not take any action against this student’s display. Instead, the school should prepare all its students to better explain to their classmate why they, too, are disgusted by the display of that icon of ugly racism. This student’s peers may then naturally impose appropriate sanctions for

such ugly conduct: shame, ridicule and ostracism.

Instead of supporting free speech, the administration effectively supports a rampant, growing American sin: bigotry, the belligerent refusal to consider, tolerate, or even hear an opposing view. “Free speech” means nothing when the view expressed is popular; the right is important only when the view expressed is unpopular. Let the racist speak; then show how those views are so contrary to true, righteous American values.

Game strategy To the editor: So our Kansas University team sometimes gets too tired to keep up with the foe who may be faster and want to win more than they seem to. Perhaps a well-tutored and executed form of zone defense could have prevented Iowa State from getting some of the easy layups and slam dunks they got via the free throw lines.

KU needs to play more 40-minute games, rather than half OK and the other half not so good. They would get a little more rest in the zone than trying to chase faster players all around half court, etc.

Some of us do not need to view tapes three or four

times to see what didn’t go too well! I’ve watched a lot of basketball for the last 80plus year and think I learned a thing or two.

I sincerely hope our team gets a few things going better so they do well in the NCAAs. We love the boys!

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 2, 1916: years “Almost all Lawago rence gathered IN 1916 at the Santa Fe station this morning to see President Wilson and Mrs. Wilson in the few minutes that their train stopped here enroute to Topeka. ... President Wilson attempted no speech and he made one not a third of the crowd gathered on the platform at the station and on the rightof-way could have heard. Braving frosted ears and the cold that pierced to the marrow, a crowd gathered at the station....

“The train came into Lawrence several minutes late, but the crowd hung on. There was a stamping of feet as the cold began to make itself felt, but folks had come to see a president and they stayed. When the train had felt its way to the station between two walls of humanity that lined the track, a burst of applause told the main body of the crowd that President Wilson had appeared on the rear platform of the last car. There was a rush for the back end of the train, but hundreds of spectators could not even get a glimpse of President and Mrs. Wilson until the train started to pull out of the station....

“A rolling ‘Rock! Chalk!’ from the University students greeted the President and Mrs. Wilson as they stepped out on the rear platform. Pupils by hundreds from the grade schools waved flags and cheered. The Haskell band was playing. ‘Altogether, this is the noisiest crowd that has greeted the President on his trip,’ said a press correspondent on the President’s train.... As early as 8:30 o’clock the crowds started for the station and from that time until the train arrived, Seventh street from Massachusetts east to the station was filled from sidewalk to sidewalk with a hurrying throng which certainly numbered more than half the population of the town.

The hope was expressed on every hand that the President would have time while in Lawrence to give a few minutes’ serious talk on the subject of preparedness. … But the train was behind schedule when it reached Lawrence and the stop here was only a few minutes long.”

Clinton, Sanders race goes ‘down to the wire’

Trump upset in Iowa, Rubio tight on his heels

Heidi M. Przybyla

DES MOINES Hillary Clinton’s bid to keep Bernie Sanders from becoming the Barack Obama of 2016 was put to the test Monday night as the race remained too close to call.

After 87% of precincts reported, she clung to a sliver of a lead over Sanders, but key precincts in the area of Des Moines were yet to report.

Iowa’s caucuses tested whether the enthusiasm of young, lower-income and more liberal voters lining up behind the Democratic socialist from Vermont is a match for Clinton’s sophisticated ground operation and her support from loyal Democratic voters, moderates and particularly women.

If Sanders could pull off the same historic participation that lifted Obama’s campaign in 2008 by bringing new participants into the process, he was likely to win. If not, more reliable caucusgoers would proba-

“It’s really going down to the wire,” Clinton said on ABC News on Monday morning.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz defeated Donald Trump in the Iowa caucuses Monday, a come-from-behind victory that raises questions about the billionaire’s ability to translate his support in polls into victories.

Trump barely held off Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who was a close third in late returns.

“People are frustrated with the career politicians in Washington who have left the American people behind,” Cruz had said earlier in the day as he completed his tour of all 99 Iowa caucuses.

Trump, who like Cruz waged an anti-establishment battle in the Hawkeye State, told supporters during a rally in Cedar Rapids that a victory would send the “great message” that “we’re not going to take it anymore.” Trump later visited a caucus site in West Des Moines as voting started, telling his

WHO declares Zika-linked birth defects emergency Move should help in mosquito battle Laura Ungar USA TODAY

The World Health Organization declared the rise in birth defects linked to the Zika virus outbreak a public health emergency Monday, underscoring the seriousness of the problem and paving the way for more money, greater attention and a coordinated global response.

Doctors connect Zika, which is

spread by mosquitoes, to a surge in neurological disorders and the birth defect microcephaly, in which infants are born with abnormally small heads and incomplete brain development. WHO officials say clusters of these problems — not the Zika virus itself, which usually causes mild illness — led to the declaration of a “public health emergency of international concern.”

Experts agree that Zika virus is “strongly suspected, though not yet scientifically proven” to be the cause of these problems, and “as a precautionary measure, a coordinated international re-

sponse is needed,” WHO Director-General Margaret Chan said.

This is the fourth time the WHO has declared a public health emergency. The organiza-

tion declared two emergencies in 2014: the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and a resurgence of polio in Syria and other countries. The H1N1 swine flu pandemic prompted an emergency in 2009.

David Heymann, chairman of the WHO Emergency Commit-

tee, said his group’s decision was a difficult one, particularly because Zika alone is not a clinically serious illness in most people.

But an emergency declaration will help intensify mosquito control efforts and expedite the creation of a more rigorous diagnostic test and a preventive vaccine.

Zika first appeared in the Western Hemisphere in May, and the outbreak has spread to 25 countries and territories.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said no locally transmitted cases have been reported in the contiguous USA.

Maybe Trump hasn’t rewritten rules Tough three-way fight puts political neophyte to the test Susan Page USA TODAY

Maybe the traditional rules of politics still do apply.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz managed to derail, at least temporarily, the phenomenon that has dominated the Republican presidential campaign so far, defeating Donald Trump in the opening Iowa caucuses Monday.

The billionaire busiNEWS nessman only narANALYSIS rowly edged out Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

What seemed to be becoming a Trump romp to the nomination suddenly became instead a fierce three-way battle that will test the political neophyte — who routinely ridicules losers — and guarantee an extended contest for the GOP nomination. Cruz’s superior organization and more conventional political strategy bested the outsider candidate who had generated more enthusiasm and energy at town hall meetings and rallies.

The Texas senator succeeded with appeals to Iowa’s evangelical Christians and attacks on Trump as something other than a reliable conservative. What’s more,

JAE C. HONG, AP

Donald Trump, with wife Melania, right, takes a moment for a selfie Monday at Saint Francis of Assisi Church, a GOP caucus site in West Dest Moines.

Trump’s decision to skip last week’s final Republican debate, complaining about being ill-treated by the Fox News sponsors, may have cost him.

The Democratic caucuses were closely divided between former secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“Trump’s showing raises questions about how he will handle defeat and whether he can broaden his appeal in a party where ideology is more important that personal charisma,” says Stu

Rothenberg of the non-partisan Rothenberg-Gonzales Political Report. “Cruz’s victory should give him momentum, establishing him as the conservative alternative to Trump.”

Rubio hoped to emerge as the mainstream alternative to Trump and Cruz, both of whom are viewed with suspicion and worse by the Republican establishment.

“If you don’t want Ted Cruz or Donald Trump as the nominee, you better get on board with Marco Rubio,” spokesman Alex Conant said happily on MSNBC as

returns came in.

That could be sobering news for such rivals as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Florida governor Jeb Bush.

Just about everybody now heads to New Hampshire, which holds the first-in-the-nation primary next week. Sanders and Trump have double-digit leads in statewide polls there, although history says there can be major upheavals in the wake of the Iowa outcome.

Everybody except former Ar-

than it did when she lost to Obama eight years ago. And, she said, “I think I’m a better candidate.”

Sanders implored his backers to show up to caucus on his behalf. “We will struggle tonight if the voter turnout is low. That’s a fact,” Sanders said to supporters and volunteers in Des Moines.

A Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll released Saturday shows the different demographic support for Clinton and Sanders.

Among those under the age of 35, Sanders drew 63%. Clinton did better with more reliable caucusgoers, including those over 65.

Overall, the poll had Clinton with a narrow lead of 45% to 42% in the final days before the caucus.

Sanders did better among those who had never caucused and independent voters who couldn’t participate in a Democratic primary unless they changed their registration on caucus night.

Iowa Democrats have had a better record in picking eventual

presidential nominees than Republicans have. Barack Obama in 2008, John Kerry in 2004 and Al Gore in 2000 all won Iowa en route to the nomination. The past two Iowa winners for the GOP, Rick Santorum in 2012 and Mike Huckabee in 2008, ultimately fell short in their bid for the Republican nod.

It could prove difficult for Sanders to recover his footing from a loss in Iowa. Though polls favor him to win New Hampshire, which will hold a primary Feb. 9, as the race moves south, starting with South Carolina, Clinton is ahead by a wide margin.

Alternatively, much as Iowa was instrumental to Obama’s path to the nomination, a Sanders victory here could deliver a significant blow to Clinton. His campaign said a win would generate enough momentum to weather Clinton’s advantage in the states that vote March 1, stretching the competition well into the spring.

The race hinged on turnout, which peaked in 2008 at 240,000.

RACHEL MUMMEY, THE DES MOINES REGISTER

Supporters of Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders cheer during a campaign event Sunday at Grandview College.

Though some models predict Sanders didn’t have to match that level, he may have to come close to beat Clinton. A recent Monmouth University poll, which screened for likely caucusgoers, predicted about 110,000 Democratic voters would show up to caucus. In addition, the Iowa secretary of State’s office did not reflect a similar surge in registrations like it did a month before the 2008 competition.

Unlike the more straightforward Republican caucuses, Democrats use a more interactive and freewheeling approach.

Voters form groups and announce their support for a candidate. If any candidate’s group does not meet a certain threshold for viability, voters can either go home or join another viable candidate’s group.

One advantage Clinton has is that her team has been trained on

sult an “important step” to “winning this election.”

Rubio also saluted former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, the 2008 caucus winner who announced he was suspending his campaign after a poor finish on Monday.

While recent polls gave Trump a slight lead over Cruz in Iowa, Cruz told supporters he saw a dead heat as voters headed for caucus locations Monday night.

Republicans produced a record turnout for the Iowa caucuses.

While both Cruz and Trump emphasized efforts to attract new voters to the polls, Cruz and his team appeared to do the better job.

The vote came less than a week after Trump boycotted a Republican debate in Des Moines, claiming sponsors at Fox News treated him unfairly.

Other Republican candidates — Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina — all fought mainly to exceed expectations, needing a better-than-expected finish to spark their efforts the New Hampshire primary on Feb. 9.

Carson’s campaign issued a statement denying media reports that the retired neurosurgeon

Donald Trump, with wife Melania by his side, speaks at a campaign event in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Monday. plans to suspend his campaign after his fourth-place finish.

Bush, who left Iowa earlier Monday to start campaigning in New Hampshire, dismissed the Iowa results before the caucuses even began. Citing Trump in particular, Bush told a crowd in Manchester that “the front-runner candidate — at least as it stands right now — is a candidate who, it’s all about him. That is not what we need in Washington, D.C.” As for Cruz and Rubio, two

kansas governor Mike Huckabee, a Republican, and former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley, a Democrat. Both were suspending their campaigns last night after drawing negligible support in the caucuses.

To be sure, the Iowa caucuses are only the start of the presidential season, not the end. Even a decisive win doesn’t settle the race. The last two Republican winners, Huckabee in 2008 and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum in 2012, didn’t end up as the nominee.

But Cruz is in a better position to capitalize on his momentum from Iowa than either Huckabee or Santorum were. Cruz’s campaign on Monday reported having almost $19 million in the bank, and he has organized extensively not only in the opening states but also in the Southern primaries that follow in March.

With a defiant message and a minimum of policy details, Trump had attracted support not only from Republican regulars but also from voters who hadn’t participated in the caucuses or been particularly engaged in politics before — many of them working-class whites who feel squeezed financially and ignored by the nation’s political leaders.

The question was whether the folks who flooded his rallies and bought his campaign hats would show up at the caucuses.

“Everything we’re doing is wrong,” Trump told a caucus meeting being held in a Catholic church in West Des Moines.

“We’re in trouble, but we’re going to turn it around. We’re going to make America great again.”

first-term senators, Bush dismissed them as “back-benchers who have never done anything of consequence in their life.”

Christie also flew from Iowa to New Hampshire Monday afternoon, focusing on the state that offers him his best hope for gaining momentum in the GOP nominating contest.

The caucuses capped an extraordinary campaign in which Cruz and Trump attracted support by running against the Republican establishment as well as

President Obama.

Trump, the businessman who rose to fame in the 1980s as a media-savvy developer, entered the Republican race in June by denouncing Mexican immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally. He called most of them criminals and accused the Mexican government of encouraging them to enter the United States. The Mexican government denied it, and Hispanic groups staged demonstrations at many Trump rallies.

The immigration issue and his denunciations of “stupid” politicians who are ruining the country helped Trump expand his lead nationally and in early-voting states — an edge that was further solidified in the wake of terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif.

While attacking the government’s counterterrorism polices, Trump also proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S. That plan drew criticism from Republican opponents as well as national and international officials.

Cruz, meanwhile, focused on Iowa and Southern states holding early primaries.

CHICAGO HOMICIDES MARK A GRIM TOLL January increase comes as city in spotlight over teen’s shooting

AP

Interim Police Superintendent John Escalante.

The 51 homicides are the highest toll for the month since 2000.

Aamer Madhani @AamerlSmad USA TODAY

The nation’s thirdlargest city recorded 51 homicides in January, the highest toll for the month since 2000.

Gang conflicts and retaliatory violence drove the “unacceptable” increase in homicides, the police department said in a statement. But the rise in violence also notably comes as the Chicago Police Department faces increased scrutiny following the court-ordered release of a police video showing a white police officer fatally shooting a black teenager 16 times, and as the department implements changes in how it monitors street stops by officers.

Chicago routinely records more homicides annually than any other American city, but the grim January violence toll marks a shocking rise in violence in a city that recorded 29 murders for the month of January last year and 20 murders for the month in 2014. In addition to the jump in killings, the police department said that it recorded 241 shooting incidents for the month, more than double the 119 incidents recorded last January.

The rise in violence comes after the Chicago Police Department reported 468 murders in 2015, a 12.5% increase from the year before. There were also 2,900 shootings, 13% more than the year prior, according to police department records.

In recent weeks, the police department pushed back against the notion that the rise in homicides could be a result of cops becoming less aggressive because of the negative attention the department has received in the aftermath of the release of the police video showing the shooting of Laquan McDonald. The city saw several weeks of largely peaceful protests after the release of the video. The U.S. Justice Department has launched a civil rights investigation of the city.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who CHICAGO

SCOTT OLSON, GETTY IMAGES

faced fierce backlash in the city’s African-American community over his handling of the McDonald case, fired his police superintendent, Garry McCarthy, after the video’s release.

Interim Superintendent John Escalante expressed frustration earlier this month as the homicide toll climbed but said it was due mainly to gang activity. He also said he was concerned about social media fueling gang disputes; fatal incidents often start as a war of words on the Internet.

“It’s the new way of taunting, challenging other gangs,” Escalante told reporters. “It’s the modern way of gang graffiti.”

St. Louis saw a dramatic increase in the number of homicides following the August 2014 police shooting death of Michael Brown in nearby Ferguson, which spurred months of angry protests.

And Baltimore saw a spike in

homicides following the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore in April, an incident that sparked unrest in the city. In both Baltimore and St. Louis, the rise in violent crime began to increase prior to the high-profile incidents and accelerated afterward.

The department says it has seen a decrease in investigative stops by cops on the streets after new rules went into effect Jan. 1 requiring the police department to bolster the monitoring of stops and protective pat-downs known as “stop-and-frisk.”

The police department entered an agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union to record contact cards for all street stops after the organization criticized the the city’s police for disproportionately targeting minorities for questioning and searches. In the past, police officers were required only to fill out cards for stops that didn’t result in an arrest.

After 54 years, Myanmar enters democratic era Nation swears in leaders in free elections, but it still faces long road

A makeshift memorial along the sidewalk in Chicago’s North Austin neighborhood honors a 31-year-old man who was shot and killed on Sept. 8.

The new contact cards also require police officers to offer greater detail about the stops than they have in the past.

The police department says it recently moved 350 police officers and 31 sergeants from foot patrols into vehicles to help increase visibility in communities hardest hit by the rise of shootings and to improve their ability to quickly respond to incidents.

The department says it has also conducted a series of raids in areas of the city it knows are problematic. One raid last week netted 64 arrests, including 40 suspects who are documented gang members, and the seizure of more than $200,000 worth of drugs. Police say they also seized 19 weapons in the raid.

The department has asked the Cook County Sheriff’s Department to step up enforcement of individuals on supervised release and act on outstanding arrest warrants.

IN BRIEF STRICKEN SHIP IN TOW

Lucy Kafanov

Special for USA TODAY YANGON, MYANMAR After more than five decades of isolation and repressive military rule, Myanmar swore in hundreds of lawmakers Monday in its first freely elected parliament.

The inaugural session marked the start of a new era for Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, which has been under army control since 1962.

The session follows an election Nov. 8 that saw Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) party win two-thirds of available parliamentary seats and effectively rout the country’s military leaders. Suu Kyi won a landslide election in 1990 that was later annulled by the military.

Myanmar still faces a long road to full democracy. The military retains 25% of seats in parliament, giving it a veto over constitutional changes. It still controls key sectors of the economy and ministries such as Defense, Interior and Border Affairs. In addition, the army can take over the government under emergency legislation.

“Ruling Myanmar is going to put (the National League for Democracy party) in its most difficult position yet.”

Evan Rees, Southeast Asia analyst

Parliament will pick a new president over the next few weeks, but Suu Kyi is barred from the post because her children are foreign nationals.

Suu Kyi said she will serve “above” the president, but it’s not clear how much influence she will wield over the new president. Despite its strong electoral mandate, the inexperienced legislature will have to prove that it can effectively govern in an arena previously dominated by army-backed candidates.

“The NLD has spent over a quarter-century on the sidelines or in hiding, but ruling Myanmar is going to put it in its most difficult position yet,” said Evan Rees,

Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy party won two-thirds of available parliamentary seats on Nov. 8.

Southeast Asia analyst for Stratfor, a global intelligence and advisory firm.

“The military is doubling down in parliament right now, choosing seasoned lawmakers and highranking officers to lead its bloc.

This contrasts with the NLD, which has few experienced lawmakers to choose from,” he said.

Outgoing President Thein Sein hailed the transition as a “triumph” and pledged to cooperate with the government of Suu Kyi, who spent 15 years under house arrest for defying the nation’s military rulers.

There is no shortage of challenges facing the impoverished Southeast Asian country, which is blighted by corruption after years of neglect by the military rulers and torn by ethnic civil wars and religious strife.

Though Suu Kyi has pledged to make peace with armed ethnic groups a priority of her administration, she has been largely silent on the persecution of minority Rohingya Muslims in western Rakhine state. They are not recognized as citizens and are subject to discriminatory policies that restrict their access to work, travel, health care and education.

BALLROOM OFFER BY TRUMP REJECTED BY WHITE HOUSE

The White House confirmed Monday that Donald Trump had offered to spend $100 million on a White House ballroom but said the offer was quickly rejected.

“I’m (not) sure it would be appropriate to have a shiny gold ‘Trump’ sign on any part of the White House,” press secretary Josh Earnest said. “That’s what most of the buildings that he offers to build include, so I’m unclear if something like that would have been required with this offer as well.”

A White House ballroom suitable for state visits and other occasions is a longtime Trump hobby horse that re-emerged Sunday, the last full day of campaigning before the Iowa caucuses.

DEDEDO, GUAM An entire floor of hospital beds sits idle and may remain so unless this island’s only private hospital buys $1.5 million worth of local art or comes up with an acceptable alternative to comply with a local law, officials said.

At issue is Guam’s Percent for the Arts law, which requires certain private developers and government entities to buy local artwork worth at least 1% of the overall construction, remodeling or renovation cost of a building. The law requires developers who hold tax breaks under the government of Guam’s qualifying certificate program to comply.

The law also gave the Council on the Arts and Humanities Agency the power, along with agencies that inspect buildings for safety and building code compliance, to block the occupancy permit for a building or portion of a building, said Joseph Cameron, president of the Department of Chamorro Affairs. The arts council falls under his department’s umbrella.

CDC ENDS CHIPOTLE E. COLI INVESTIGATION An investigation into E. coli at Chipotle locations last year was closed Monday after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared the outbreaks appear to be over.

The company credited the results in part to growth in membership and premiums as Aetna boosted its government business that sells Medicare and Medicaid health plans. The company said net income for the October to December quarter rose 38% to $320.8 million, or 91 cents a share. That was up from $232 million, or 65 cents a share, for the same period last year.

“Looking at prior years where the index dropped 5%-plus in January, February wasn’t a walk in the park either.”

Paul Hickey, Bespoke co-founder

February has a reputation for being a “flat” month for the 30 blue-chip stocks in the Dow, according to Bespoke Investment Group data. Over the past 100 years, the Dow has been up just 55% of the time in February, posting a puny gain of 0.1%, on average, which ranks No. 11 out of 12 months. The average gains over the past 50 and 20 years are muted, as well, with gains of roughly 0.25%.

More worrisome, perhaps, is the fact the stock market fares even worse after lousy January performances. Following the nine prior times since 1939 when the S&P 500 finished down more than 5% in January, the market has suffered average declines of 1.2% in February and posted a paltry gain of just 1.18% in the remaining 11 months of the year, according to Bespoke.

It’s hard to get super bullish now — or super bearish for that matter — following the market tumult in January, not too mention the slow start to the first day of trading in February on Monday. The reason: Despite some good things working in the U.S. stock market’s favor, there are enough negatives on the other side of the ledger to balance the outlook, according to Bespoke cofounder Paul Hickey.

Let’s start with the negatives outlined by Hickey. For one, there’s the continued weakness in the oil patch, witnessed by Monday's 5.9% drop to $31.62 a barrel for U.S.-produced crude. The market’s valuation, while less expensive than it was prior to the January stock swoon, is still “above average.” Corporate earnings may also come under pressure if labor costs rise for businesses, he warns, as it will

‘FLAT’ FEBRUARY The Dow has posted “flattish” returns in February, history shows. Dow’s average performance in past:

crimp profit margins. Add to that the fact big downdrafts in January “haven’t necessarily been met with a rush of buying” in February. China’s slowing economy, of course, also remains a wild card.

The good news is there are some positive story lines for battered stocks. Sure, falling oil prices are bad for oil producers.

But it is ultimately a “net positive,” if prices stabilize, as well as a plus for consumers that pay less for gas at the pump, Hickey says.

The U.S. housing market is holding up relatively well, as is consumer confidence and the labor market, he adds. Another plus is the sharp rise in investor pessimism, which often is a bullish signal from a contrarian standpoint.

SAN FRANCISCO Alphabet vaulted Apple to become the most valuable company in the U.S. in after-hours trading on Monday, rousting the iPhone maker from the perch it held for more than four years.

Alphabet shares jumped 6% after Google’s parent reported estimate-topping fourth-quarter results after the bell. Its combined share classes were then worth $554 billion, surpassing Apple, which had a value of about $534 billion and whose shares were down slightly after hours.

REVENUE BOOST December 2015 revenue got a boost.

OTHER ALPHABET REVENUE:

$151M Up $45M (42.5%) from 2014

Alphabet will officially supplant Apple in market value if the two companies open at those levels Tuesday.

“Google is in the pole position,” BGC analyst Colin Gillis said.

Gillis credited accelerating revenue growth, expense control and a capital return to shareholders via a share repurchase program.

He says Alphabet is positioned to be the first company on a U.S. listed exchange to be worth $1 trillion. “The core business is cranking along and picking up speed,” he said.

Apple nabbed the bragging rights as the most valuable company in the U.S. in 2012 from Exxon Mobil. At one point in early 2015, Apple was worth more than $760 billion. But Apple has yet to come up with another blockbuster product while Alphabet continues to reign in the lucrative Internet search advertising market while pressing forward in video and mobile advertising, causing its stock to surge.

Alphabet earned $8.67 a share in the fourth quarter, well above expectations of $8.09 a share.

Revenues clocked in at $21.32 billion, surpassing estimates of $20.76 billion.

For the first time Alphabet disclosed revenue, operating income and other key metrics for its main Google business separately from its “other bets” going back to 2013.

Last year Alphabet separated its main Google business from its longer-term, more speculative projects such as smart gadget maker Nest and speedy broadband provider Fiber. The company said its “other bets” category had revenue of $448 million and a loss of $3.6 billion.

Barclays, Credit Suisse settle ‘dark pool’ probes Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Global banks Barclays PLC and Credit Suisse Group AG will pay a record $154.3 million in combined settlements of allegations they misled customers who used the banks’ private trading venues known as dark pools, officials said Monday.

The settlements, announced by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Attorney General’s office, mark the largest penalties in U.S. history against dark pools. The venues have been the subject of complaints that they favor high-frequency traders over institutional

traders. Unlike regular stock exchanges, dark pools do not display the best trading bids and offers to the public.

Barclays and Credit Suisse, operators of two of the largest U.S. dark pools, misled customers about trading conditions and participants in their dark pools, according to the SEC and New York attorney general.

London-based Barclays falsely told clients it would “continuously police” trading order flow in its LX dark pool, probers found.

The bank also did not adequately disclose that it sometimes moved subscribers from the most-aggressive to the leastaggressive trading categories. As a result, customers who opted to block trading with more aggres-

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announces the deal Monday.

sive subscribers, such as high-frequency traders, unwittingly interacted with them.

Credit Suisse falsely told customers its Crossfinder dark pool characterized trader order flow in

an objective and transparent manner, the settlements said.

The Swiss banking giant separately said it would identify “opportunistic” traders and oust them from Credit Suisse’s Light Pool, an electronic communications network. But investigators found that both types of subscribers were able to continue Light Pool trading.

“These cases mark the first major victory in the fight to combat fraud in dark pool trading and bring meaningful reforms to protect investors from predatory, high-frequency traders,” said New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

Barclays and Credit Suisse said they were pleased with the resolutions.

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

Wall Street knows U.S. manufacturing is mired in its own private recession. The latest proof came Monday when the Institute for Supply Management’s January manufacturing gauge came in at 48.2, marking the third consecutive month below 50.

A reading below 50 is considered contractionary.

But there are some Wall Street pros who say it doesn’t make sense to use manufacturing as the sole gauge of the U.S. economy’s health. Instead, they argue that in the U.S., where nearly 70% of economic activity is consumer-generated, it makes more sense to gauge the economy’s health via the employment market and auto sales trends.

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

“The job market is booming,” Ryan Sweet of Moody’s Analytics noted Friday when fourth-quarter growth came in at a weakerthan-expected 0.7%. “With a disconnect between GDP and employment, at this point in the expansion the best barometer of the economy’s health is jobs.”

Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities USA, says investors should be “concentrating” on the January auto sales report Tuesday. Wall Street estimates that a seasonally adjusted 17.6 million autos were sold, up from 17.2 million in December.

Auto sales are big-ticket items that require buyers to have jobs and sufficient income. “Auto sales have outpaced overall retail sales for the past few years ... ,” Ricchiuto wrote in a report. “A consolidation in the auto industry would increase the risk of a negative GDP print in the first quarter.”

Rate of return may not be what you’re looking for Q: Can I turn my stocks into CDs? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Sounds like you’re sitting on a pile of stock certificates — and you’ve had it with market volatility. You can turn your stock into CDs, but it will take two steps, might incur some fees and might not be the best move.

From your email, you indicated you have paper stock certificates. You’ll need to find a way to liquidate those. You can contact each companies’ transfer agent and instruct them to sell these certificates. Computershare is one of the biggest transfer agents and is set up to help individual investors.

Another option is to check with a bank or brokerage. Most banks or brokerages say they will charge about $100 or more to sell paper certificates, but if you have an existing relationship and call them, they might work out a break. Once you sell the stock, you can then use the cash you raise to buy a certificate of deposit.

Since you want to buy a CD, consider inquiring with a bank with a brokerage business to see if you can get everything done in one place. Just keep in mind that CDs will lock in a low return for you, currently 1.85% even on a five-year jumbo CD, Bankrate.com says.

Even risk-adverse investors are better served owning some stocks — to diverifiy their portfolios and add returns to combat the ravages of inflation.

Yahoo fourth-quarter earnings report could include staff cuts Mike Snider @MikeSnider USA TODAY

When Yahoo delivers its fourth-quarter earnings performance Tuesday, Wall Street doesn’t want just numbers, it wants a glimpse at the road map of the Net company’s future.

Yahoo’s recent past has been tumultuous. Caught between rising powers Facebook and Google, the Silicon Valley company has struggled to keep pace in the dynamic online and mobile advertising and media market. To that

CEO Marissa Mayer

BLOOMBERG

end, Yahoo’s share of global digital ad revenue is expected to have fallen 2% to $3.37 billion in 2015, according to eMarketer.

After activist investors rebelled

against Yahoo’s planned spinoff of its 15% stake in Chinese Web behemoth Alibaba, Chairman Maynard Webb and CEO Marissa Mayer in December halted that plan and said they would instead consider selling the core Yahoo Net business. Since then, there have been reports that employee layoffs have begun.

Those cuts could amount to 15% of the company’s 11,000 or so employees, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday, according to persons close to the issue. Last week, Yahoo closed its operations in Mexico and Argentina.

Yahoo shares were down 1.4%

Monday to $29.09, have fallen more than 30% over the last 12 months and are approaching a 52-week low.

The company remains a revenue generator; analysts estimate Yahoo made $948.02 million in the fourth quarter, based on S&P Capital IQ Consensus Estimates.

However, that would result in 2015 revenue of $4.04 billion, an 8% decline in annual revenue from 2014, when Yahoo generated $4.4 billion.

Since Mayer arrived in 2012, revenues have fallen more than 10% and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation

and amortization) have fallen more than 40%, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Internet equity analyst Robert Peck said.

“We’d describe the company as a failed turnaround,” he told USA TODAY. For the fourth quarter, analysts expect earnings of 13 cents per share from Yahoo, according to S&P Capital IQ Consensus Estimates, compared to 30 cents in the same period last year.

Peck expects Mayer to tout a “refocused Yahoo,” with fewer projects, layoffs of 10% to 20%, and some sales of assets such as land and intellectual property.

Forget Blue Steel!

‘Zoolander 2’ actress Penélope Cruz stole the spotlight at the film’s Madrid premiere Monday after she strutted onto the carpet in a ruched gold and white gown with silver embellishments.

Lots of options are on the table, but progress will take some time Bryan Alexander USA TODAY

Don’t expect the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to stop making systemic changes to promote Oscar diversity.

The academy’s governing board already has taken action, vowing to double female and minority members by 2020.

The dramatic moves came in the wake of #OscarSoWhite — the controversy that erupted after no actors of color were nominated for Oscars for the second year running.

“It was important for us to be heard,” academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs told USA TODAY last month at the Producers Guild Awards, adding that the changes were “a start.”

Possible changes in the best-picture nominations and voting procedure have dominated awards industry discussion. Among the viable options: DO AWAY WITH THE PREFERENTIAL BALLOT.

A “preferential” ballot allows members to choose five movies for best-picture nominations.

They might not be aware of the byzantine methods by which accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers tabulates the votes to come up with the eventual bestpicture field — which can fluctuate from five to 10 movies, depending on the “passion” votes.

A film that is the top pick for 5% of the members receives a nomination.

The complicated system weighs these “passion” votes so heavily that votes toward the bottom of a voter’s list are devalued — often knocking out popular films such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens or Straight Outta Compton.

“It’s really the passion votes that matter on the preferential ballot,” says Pete Hammond, awards columnist for Deadline.com. “But as long as they’ve explained that to members, even they don’t understand it still. It’s a very convoluted system.”

ROBERT HANASHIRO, USA TODAY GETTY IMAGES

Cheryl Boone Isaacs

“The academy is not known for moving quickly, which is why they surprised people last week.”

Steve Pond, awards editor for The Wrap

NOMINATE 10 BEST-PICTURE CANDIDATES EVERY YEAR.

There is recent historical precedence: A flat 10-movie field was set for both the 2010 and 2011 Academy Awards, before the academy switched to the current varying tally — with a field of best pictures that can go from five to 10.

An expanded field could encourage diverse selections and might have allowed films such as Compton (one of 10 nominees for the Producers Guild Awards) in the mix this year.

“The easiest thing to do is to make this 10, but this is something (the academy) would like to spend a little more time (discussing),” says Hammond, who adds that the move is controversial to those who say it dilutes the prestige of the award.

EXPAND THE ACTING FIELD.

The absence of minorities in the lead acting categories has led to talk of doubling the field from five to 10 nominees. Steve Pond, awards editor for industry website The Wrap, says the concept

“has been floated” in Hollywood but points out that “there’s no historical precedence to support more than five best-actor and -actress nominees.”

The move could backfire in a worst-case scenario, says Scott Feinberg, awards columnist for The Hollywood Reporter.

“An even larger field of allwhite actors could just make the problem even more prominent,” Feinberg says. “That could be playing with fire.”

The lack of action on these possibilities could simply be timing. Pond points out the academy has its hands full with the changes already announced.

Any additional changes would affect only next year’s program and could even become part of the academy’s annual internal review of the show after the Oscars Feb. 28.

“The academy is not known for moving quickly, which is why they surprised people last week,” Pond says. “But mostly what’s going to be on the table is implementing what has already been decided on.”

It was the last, great “trial of the century,” the 1994 case against O.J. Simpson for the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman. An all-consuming media circus that touched every hot wire of that decade and our own, from race and class divisions to concerns over police misconduct and justice for purchase, Simpson’s televised trial ushered in a world in which news is entertainment and celebrity is everything.

Simpson: American Crime Story (Tuesday, 10 p.m. ET/PT, eeee out of four) is that it could seem inaccurate or old hat to those who know the story, dull or impenetrable to those who don’t, and cheap and exploitative to all. Yet against all odds, this tightly written, sometimes stunningly performed 10-part drama avoids all those pitfalls, capturing the tenor of the time and breathing life into the participants. Not to mention re-creating a crackling good courtroom drama that fiction can only envy.

Sarah Paulson and Christian Clemenson play prosecutors Marcia Clark and Bill Hodgman in FX’s The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

RAY MICKSHAW, FX

Produced by American Horror Story’s Ryan Murphy, who also directed three of the first six episodes made available for preview, Simpson is not about the murder itself, which we do not see ( at least not in the episodes provided). It’s about the people involved in the trial, and the startling contrasts surrounding a case in which perceptions of guilt and innocence seemed to divide along racial lines.

All of which would be an academic exercise without a script that keeps the story’s multiple pieces moving in sync and a set of Emmy-worthy performances.

Those include turns by Cuba

Gooding Jr., who portrays Simpson as explosive and childlike without showing his guilty-orinnocent hand; David Schwimmer as Robert Kardashian; Nathan Lane as F. Lee Bailey; Sterling K. Brown as Christopher Darden; Steven Pasquale as Mark Fuhrman; and John Travolta as Robert Shapiro — the broadest performance, in the most broadly written role.

The heart and soul of the series, however, belongs to Courtney B. Vance’s defense attorney, Johnnie Cochran, and Sarah Paulson’s prosecutor, Marcia Clark — two great actors in two great roles. Vance and Paulson

take the trial’s two main combatants, who became heroes to some and buffoonish villains to others, and humanize them in a way that allows us to see them anew, and admire them both. Oh, and if Paulson doesn’t break your heart in the sixth hour, you should have it checked.

The sympathy and humanity accorded Cochran and Clark is the watermark of this series, which in its attempt to present both sides of the case might, for some, prove to be healing. Those, however, who only want to see their own viewpoint vindicated are advised to look elsewhere.

That’s not the only caveat. The use of Kardashian’s now-famous children to convey a message about the coming dangers of a celebrity-obsessed culture is heavyhanded and unnecessary. And while this may be the finest work Murphy has ever done, as with any project from this gifted but undisciplined producer, any recommendation comes with a warning that the hours we’ve yet to see could slide off the rails. Or they could all hold together, and forge not just a great series, but an important one.

Let’s hope that’s the final verdict.

YOUR HEALTH YOUR COMMUNITY YOUR STORY

Unpacking the new federal dietary guidelines

By Andrea Weigl The News & Observer

Now that the smoke, debate and confusion has cleared over the latest update to the federal dietary guidelines, here is what you need to know.

Big picture focus: This year’s update stresses “a healthy eating pattern” over the course of your life as opposed to focusing on individual nutrients or foods. “It’s not one food. It’s a whole eating pattern,” said Barry Popkin, a food science researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and author of “The World is Fat.”

Elisabetta Politi, nutrition director at the Duke Diet & Fitness Center, cheered the change: “I’d like to commend them for that.” The previous focus to limit certain foods or nutrients created confusion for many people trying to watch what they ate. “I see this every day with many clients,” Politi said. “They feel guilty about eating eggs and butter.” (It’s worth noting that the new guidelines do mention limiting three nutrients, which we’ll explain more below, but the overall focus has changed.)

KNOW YOUR HEART NUMBERS

By Aynsley Anderson Sosinski Lawrence Memorial Hospital

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 cause of death in America, accounting for about one in three deaths every year. Keeping your heart in tip-top shape involves several strategies, including eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and keeping your heart numbers within healthy ranges.

Knowing your numbers and assessing your heart disease risk are important steps to take in preventing heart problems or getting treatment as early as possible. It is important to see your healthcare provider regularly and discuss how often you should have these tests, as well as what your goal numbers should be. Always follow your provider’s recommendations regarding how to get and keep your numbers within a healthy range.

Blood pressure High blood pressure (hypertension) is a major risk factor for stroke, heart and kidney disease. It usually has no symptoms. A normal blood pressure is below 120 for the top number and below 80 for the low number. Elevated numbers may indicate pre-hypertension or hypertension. Talk with your healthcare provider as to how often you should have your blood pressure checked. At lmh.org/wellness, you can learn more about hypertension and other issues related to heart disease.

Blood sugar (glucose) Having an elevated fasting blood sugar may indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes. Diabetes is also a risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease.

The American Diabetes Association

recommends that a fasting blood sugar should be less than 100 mg/dl. A fasting blood sugar of 100 to 125 mg/dl may indicate pre-diabetes, and a fasting blood sugar of 126 mg/dl or above may indicate diabetes. The LMH Diabetes Education Center has certified diabetes educators to help educate those with diabetes on successful management of their disease. A physician referral is required.

and personal risk factors.

Cardiovascular Specialists of Lawrence offers a “Take Heart” tool to help assess and manage heart health.

They offer two heart risk assessment options to identify individual risk factors for heart disease. Both assessment options include lab work, body measurements, educational materials, nutrition and exercise recommendations, as well as a private consultation with a health provider from Cardiovascular Specialists. There is a fee for the heart risk assessment and no referral is required.

To schedule a heart risk assessment, call 785-505-3636, go online to lmh.org/ takeheart or talk to your primary care provider. After your assessment, results are reported to your primary care provider.

You can also learn some of your numbers by attending the LMH Healthy Hearts Fair on Feb. 20. Blood work is 7:30 to 10 a.m., while screenings and exhibits are 8 to 10:30 a.m.

This annual event is focused on cardiovascular disease and its prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Low-cost full lipid (cholesterol) profile screening is available for $20 if registered

Hitting the gym?

It won’t save your life, but it will make you feel a lot better, experts say

By Lori Nickel Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Do you ever picture yourself, and your life, well into the future?

Because at age 70 and 80, your fitness goals will probably change — a lot.

Like putting on pants or bending over to tie shoes without falling over or needing to sit down. Or stepping off the curb and onto an icy

street, confident that a gust of wind won’t knock you over.

“Those things are huge for our elderly clients,” said Michelle Bauer, a personal trainer at Fitness Together in Mequon, Wis. “They are the small things in life that we take for granted now,” said Ben Long, another personal trainer at the gym.

Good movement and mobility add to the quality of life and are worthwhile lifelong pursuits.

“We have a client who came here and said her goal was to get up off the floor,” said Holly Tamm, the owner of Fitness Together in Mequon and Whitefish Bay, Wis. “She said if she falls, she won’t be able to get up, and she didn’t want that because she lived alone.

We literally started with exercises with the goal to get her off the ground.

“Decline is going to be inevitable for all of us. As we get older, we lose muscle. We just try to say, let’s change the rate of that decline

Double Take

as best we can, by working at it and working the muscles.”

That’s Lucy Martin’s philosophy. The 71-year-old had spinal cord surgery last October, but even now she cannot raise her arm above her shoulders. She also had a hip replacement in 2012, and has plantar fasciitis and arthritis and joint pain.

After trying other gyms for years, she has been coming to Fitness Together three times a week since 2004.

The gym offers only oneon-one personal training, or group exercises of no more than four in private training suites.

“I like working with a personal trainer, they make Please see GYM, page 2C

A poor example for young women Wes: Last week, I dreamt I read this headline in the satirical news publication The Onion: “Kansas Senate chairman’s rules block female witnesses in revealing attire.” In the paper’s inimitable style, the funny authors pretended that a Kansas state senator had prohibited women from testifying on pending bills if they were wearing low-cut necklines and miniskirts. He made no such requirement of men, or so The Onion said, meaning men could wear miniskirts and crop tops all they wanted. The senator said he had to do this because “provocatively dressed women are a distraction,” adding, “It’s one of those things that’s hard to define.

Put it out there and let people know we’re really looking for you to be addressing the issue rather than trying to distract or bring eyes to yourself.”

The Onion then quoted a radical liberal senator who said, “Coming from a man, I think it’s important that women are supported in the choices that they make for themselves.” Imagine that? A woman getting to choose? The Onion is seriously a riot.

And that’s when I woke up.

I wondered where in the depths of my obviously perverse unconscious this dream had come from and why I was dreaming in political satire in the first place.

Then I saw the Jan. 22 article with the same headline in the JournalWorld … and the Topeka Capital-Journal. It was even in USA Today. Apparently everyone had this dream.

And then, like Dorothy awakening from Oz, it struck me. It was all real! Sen. Mitch Holmes, R-St. Johns, had actually waged this struggle against female sexuality just days before. Without a moment’s further thought, I ran to my window, threw it open and yelled out into the night: “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more! Kansas Legislature, please! Just stop talking! Don’t you understand, we can hear you? Everyone can!”

Sardonic humor aside, there’s an important point to be made here. When they see comments such as this, women — particularly those in the years of sexual development, from 13 to 23 —hear this: “The only way we can take you seriously is to avoid your sexuality. So you’re only free to opine when I am, as a man, not thinking about your breasts or thighs.

Please do me a favor and stop tempting me.”

depressive episode each year, the National Institute of Mental Health estimates. Symptoms can include persistent sadness, feeling hopeless, difficulty concentrating, problems sleeping and loss of interest in once-pleasurable activities. People sometimes also experience physical symptoms, such as headaches or back pain, which can confuse diagnosis.

No single cause: Depression can affect anyone, and there are multiple risk factors. A personal crisis, such as loss of a loved one, sometimes precedes depression, but it also can occur without any obvious trigger. Depression and other mood disorders tend to run in families, and depression

frequently accompanies serious physical disorders.

Hormones can play a role, during pregnancy and after a woman gives birth. The task force cited a study that found about 10 percent of new mothers experienced a postpartum depression episode, more serious and lasting longer than so-called "baby blues."

Screening: Depression can go unrecognized, especially if patients don't seek a diagnosis. A variety of screening questionnaires are available, such as one that asks how often, over the last two weeks, patients have felt bad about themselves or felt like they're a failure, had little interest in doing things or experienced problems sleeping or concentrating.

Kansas University students in the Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Sciences will join staff to evaluate foods and beverages in vending machines based on their healthfulness. They also will look at labeling to see whether it encourages employees and customers to make healthy choices.

Employers will receive recommendations on how to improve nutritional options, how to get employee buy-in, and how to promote the availability of healthy foods and beverages.

According to a 2014 survey of 62 Douglas County employers, only 13 percent said they ensure 50 percent or more of vending machine food and beverages represent healthy choices, and only 23 percent said the healthy options were identified by signs or symbols.

Dear Annie: I have epilepsy with very minor seizures that occur roughly once every three weeks.

Because I am currently unemployed, I am forced to live at home with my parents as I search for another job.

Even though I am over 30, my mother wants me to stay at home unless I have a job interview or one of my parents is with me. She insists someone else drive me wherever I go. She is even fearful of me walking to appointments two blocks from the house.

A sad irony is that my mother has a Ph.D. in sociology and doesn’t hear me when I tell her that the social isolation that she insists on imposing makes me depressed.

Annie’s Mailbox

Do you have any suggestions for dealing with the enormous stress I’m under because of her need to control my life? — A Frustrated South Dakotan

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear Frustrated: Your mother is being overprotective, but it comes from her fear that you will have a seizure and no one will be around to assist you. Her advanced degree is irrelevant because she is not thinking clinically.

This is personal.

She especially worries that something will happen when you are driving or walking alone. She knows it curtails your social life and could increase — Send questions to the odds of depresanniesmailbox@comcast.net, sion, but she considor Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

This is still the case even after I pointed out her highlighting that very issue in her own sociology textbooks. I have attempted to get my father to intervene, but he wants Mom to control the show.

I’ve tried to quietly put up with the idea of “Mom’s house — Mom’s rules.” But I don’t know how much longer I can stand it.

Cast propels ‘People v.

O.J. Simpson’ Forgive my excitement. It just feels like an old-fashioned February sweeps month is breaking out. Tomorrow, ABC launches “Madoff,” a two-night miniseries starring Richard Dreyfuss.

Tonight, FX presents the deliciously addictive “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” (9 p.m., TVMA).

Perhaps we needed 20 years to pass before revisiting this obsessively over-covered story. And perhaps we needed the mind of executive producer and firstepisode director Ryan Murphy (“American Horror Story,” “Scream Queens”) to project recent history through the prism of two decades of pop culture and reality TV. Given its “stranger than fiction” narrative, it’s wise that Murphy and crew abandoned the lurid excesses of “Horror Story” and the shrill, bitter tone of “Queens” to let this unfold as a crime procedural, studded with larger-than-life characters and delicious performances.

The casting is excellent. Cuba Gooding Jr. is impressive, but he has the misfortune of playing Simpson, a man whose ludicrous over-exposure has left him only more of an enigma. David Schwimmer makes the most of his role as the Juice’s good friend Robert Kardashian. And don’t think the show spares us the sight of Kardashian’s young daughters, future reality stars, watching their daddy on TV. Sarah Paulson gets a ’90s perm and chain-smokes with intensity as Marcia Clark. Courtney B. Vance brings a dignity and brilliance to Johnnie Cochran. Cochran’s character and the series’ reflections on police misconduct in the aftermath of the 1992 Rodney King riots resonates rather powerfully in our own post-Ferguson era.

But the standout performance is John Travolta as Robert Shapiro. He plays a man completely mannered, calculating, vain, pompous and self-serving — a wax museum figure of a Hollywood lawyer come to life.

It’s the closest that “Simpson” comes to going over-the-top.

But Travolta pulls it off with almost eerie restraint. People will be talking about John Travolta tomorrow. And they’ll be talking about “The People v. O.J. Simpson” for weeks.

Housing complex planned for Kansas athletes

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Selden’s career night crucial Wayne Selden Jr. has a lousy game Saturday against Kentucky, Kansas University gets blasted on its home court, and the team’s stock plummets to its lowest point in years.

That’s not overstating the impact of Selden’s career night Saturday in a 90-84, overtime victory against Kentucky.

Instead, Kansas heads back into Big 12 play brimming with confidence with 10 games left on the league schedule.

Selden played 44 minutes, scored 32 points, made 12 of 20 field goals, six of eight free throws and three of five three-point shots.

“I don’t know if he’s had a more complete game since he’s been here,” Kansas coach Bill Self said Monday. “He’s had games where he maybe scored making threes. Florida obviously last year comes to mind in the second half, and there’s been other games, but, I mean, he was a complete basketball player on Saturday.”

Selden again found himself in the stands after chasing a loose ball and batting it back into play. It’s his signature move.

“That was a great play,” Self said. “We didn’t capitalize because we didn’t score, but that was a great play. Wayne made a lot of really good plays throughout the game. It was also a big play when he took the charge on (Alex) Poythress late in the second half.”

Selden not only had the best game of his career, but a case could made that no Jayhawk ever had a better game during Selden’s three seasons in a Kansas uniform.

A case could be made that the last Jayhawk to have a better game was either Ben McLemore (36 points, 12 of 15 field goals, five of six threes, in 30 minutes in a 91-65 rout of West Virginia on March 2, 2013) or Elijah Johnson (39 points, seven assists, five rebounds in 108-96 overtime victory in Ames in the Melvin Weatherwax game on Feb. 25, 2012).

Sure, Andrew Wiggins had a remarkable game and totaled 41 points, eight rebounds, five steals and four blocked shots in Morgantown, W.Va., but Kansas lost that game. Wiggins also had a monster game in a 77-70 overtime victory against Oklahoma State in the Big 12 tournament, with 30 points, eight rebounds and three steals to go with five turnovers.

Selden’s game might not have been any better than that Wiggins effort, but it was every bit as good.

Selden showed far more than a soft shooting touch on his way to a career-high.

“He took five threes in the game in which he played 44 minutes, which is a low number, but he drove it so well,” Self said. “He got to the free-throw line more, and he even got an

For years, Jayhawker Towers has been synonymous with the on-campus home away from home for Kansas University athletes.

But that soon will change.

KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger confirmed to the Journal-World on Monday night something that KU recruits have been hear-

ing about for the past several weeks: New living quarters are coming, and they’re going to be spectacular.

“This is really a profound moment for the University of Kansas and Kansas Athletics,” Zenger told the Journal-World. “And it is a great indicator of the relationship between the university and athletics, especially KU Student Housing and Diana Robertson, the director.”

The new apartment complex, which is expected to have room for as many as 750 beds, is the all-sport follow-up to the state-ofthe-art McCarthy Hall that houses the men’s basketball team and a handful of traditional students. Like McCarthy Hall, the new facility, which will be funded entirely by the university, will house far more than just athletes.

“

KU has roughly 220-250 This is scholarship athletes during really a any given year. All of them are expected to live in the profound new complex, and that will moment leave room for roughly 500 traditional students to fill for Kansas the new apartments, which Athletics.” will sit somewhere south— Kansas west of Allen Fieldhouse.

KANSAS GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM (4) DEFENDS against Kentucky guard Isaiah Briscoe during the first half of the Jayhawks’ 90-84 overtime victory Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

KU’s zone not popular with players

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Sick of seeing Kentucky point guard Tyler Ulis score seemingly at will during the first half Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse, Bill Self asked his Kansas University basketball players if it was time to implement a 2-3 zone.

“We were, like, ‘No.’ That’s not the way we’re going to be able to win games. We’ve got to be able to defend. We’ve got to be able to keep guys out of the lane,” KU sophomore guard Devonté Graham said.

“I think it was me, Frank (Mason III), Wayne (Selden

Jr.) and Lando (Landen Lucas). All of us didn’t want to play 2-3 zone. It seems like the easy way out. We just want to defend,” Graham added.

Despite the players’ best efforts of persuasion, KU coach Self felt he had to do something drastic, with Kentucky on its way to scoring 46 first-half points in the Jayhawks’ 90-84 come-frombehind, overtime win.

“Our guys don’t want to play zone,” Self said. “During the first half, I said, ‘Let’s play 2-3, and they’re, like, ‘No, we can go on them, coach,’ which we didn’t.

“But we went 2-3. You (media) don’t even know that

two possessions in the first half they scored five points, because both of the points on both possessions were in transition where guys didn’t run back to their spots and whatever.”

Self abandoned both manto-man defense and 2-3 zone for a triangle-and-two the second half to help slow Ulis, who finished with 14 points and five assists the first half and 12 points and three assists the second half and OT. “Our guys know we want to hang our hat on (man-toman) and then sprinkle in other things. But certainly the triangle-and-two, it did bail us out Saturday whenev-

er Willis (Derek, six points) wasn’t in the game,” Self said.

Graham, who said good man-to-man defense “is all mental, pride, heart, you’ve got to buckle down and guard your man,” hopes the Jayhawks’ improve their staple defense so they won’t have to use zone again.

“We’re not used to playing zone. Kansas isn’t used to playing zone like that,” Graham said. “We’re just (used to) matching up with our man — ‘mano y mano’ — and shutting that guy down. It’s definitely a pride thing.”

Recruit has strong bond with former Jayhawk

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The summer before his junior season at Booker T. Washington High, in Tulsa, Okla., Kyle “Money” Mayberry hopped onto an elevator and headed into the building to get ready for a summer camp.

When he did, he saw former Kansas University standout and current Denver Bronco Chris Harris Please see KEEGAN, page 4D hitching a ride on the same

elevator. Harris, a native of nearby Bixby, Okla., was there hosting the camp, and Mayberry, a blossoming athlete who played wide receiver during his sophomore season, was there to soak up as much instruction as he could.

“He asked who I was,” Mayberry began. “And I told him I was the best cornerback in the state of Oklahoma. He said, ‘Oh, really.’ And then that season I had a great year, and he found out I really was.”

Ranked as the top cornerback in Oklahoma heading into his senior season, Mayberry did nothing to dispel that notion during his senior season and landed a scholarship offer to Kansas.

Although several other schools came after him hard, the 5-foot-11, 163-pound cover corner committed to Kansas and stuck with the Jayhawks.

After that initial meeting with Harris during the

summer of 2014, Mayberry and Harris began to communicate regularly, with Harris, no doubt, seeking an opportunity to mentor a young man following in his footsteps and Mayberry eating up the chance to learn anything from one of the NFL’s best.

In fact, after Harris first learned of Mayberry’s decision to commit to Kansas, the former Jayhawk Please see FOOTBALL, page 3D Mayberry

Suns fire Hornacek Phoenix — The Phoenix Suns, mired in one of the worst stretches in their history, have fired coach Jeff Hornacek and promoted Earl Watson to interim coach.

Watson was selected after interviews were conducted Monday with all three Suns assistants.

Watson was an NBA point guard for 13 seasons and was in his first season as a Suns assistant after a year as an assistant coach of the Austin Spurs of the NBA Development League.

The 36-year-old Watson retired as a player in 2014 after appearing in 878 games for Portland, Seattle/Oklahoma City, Memphis, Denver, Indiana and Utah.

NCAA releases first No. 1 teams UConn, South Carolina, Notre Dame and Baylor are the four No. 1 seeds right now, according to the NCAA women’s basketball selection committee.

Taking a page from the college football playoffs, the NCAA decided this year to release the top 10 women’s teams three times in February to help build a buzz for the tournament in March. The first list came out Monday night.

The top four teams mirrored the Associated Press women’s basketball poll that was released earlier Monday. Texas was fifth, followed by Ohio State, Arizona State, Oregon State, Maryland and UCLA on the NCAA’s list.

The Bruins are ranked 14th in the current poll.

Florida State, Louisville, Mississippi State and Texas A&M also were receiving consideration from the committee.

San Diego — Brandt Snedeker won the praise of his peers for a closing round at Torrey Pines that left them in awe.

Now he has a trophy to show for it.

Snedeker wound up winning the Farmers Insurance Open on Monday when the conditions turned out to be just as tough as when he shot his 69 on Sunday, a score that was roughly nine shots better than the field average.

Jimmy Walker had a oneshot lead over Snedeker and K.J. Choi when the final round resumed among a dozen toppled trees on the South Course. With a strong wind from the opposite direction, Walker and Choi tried to hang on with pars and simply couldn’t.

“The way the wind blew and made those last five holes play so tough on those guys, I feel bad for them,” Snedeker said.

“They got the raw end of the stick this morning. But that’s just the way golf goes, and luckily enough, I played good enough yesterday to get the job done. So it’s a special feeling to say the least.”

Snedeker won at 6-under 282, the highest winning score at Torrey Pines since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.

The average score was 77.9, the highest fourth-round average at a regular PGA Tour event since the tour began keeping such statistics in 1983.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland, who had a share of the lead through two rounds, wasn’t exempt from the rough conditions. He shot a finalround 82 — with nine bogeys, a double bogey and just one birdie — and finished tied for 18th at 290. He still pocketed $79,114.

one-on-one defender, Graham said: “I’d say me, Frank and Lagerald (Vick). Lagerald is a pretty good on-the-ball defender, especially in practice guarding me, Frank and Wayne. He’s pretty quick. Then (after Vick) I’d say me,” Graham added, smiling.

“Lagerald is growing. He gets better every day. He’s starting to find his place. As a freshman, you don’t really know what you are supposed to be doing. He’s kind of finding that little mojo of his. He’s definitely doing well.”

Asked a question Monday of how shooting guards Brannen Greene and Svi Mykhailiuk have been faring in practice of late, Self brought up Memphis freshman Vick.

“They’ve been fine. Lagerald’s been the best guy off the bench in practice,

delivered a fantastic reaction.

“He was fired up,” Mayberry recalled. “He just kept telling me how much I was gonna love it.”

And then he went back into coach mode and tried to get Mayberry ready for life as a cornerback in the Big 12.

“We always talk about feet,” Mayberry said.

“The feet are the key to playing corner, and every time I watch the Broncos play, I lock in on Chris Harris and Aqib Talib (another former Jayhawk) and try to watch everything they do. He’s just a great mentor that I can go to for anything.

and we tried to play him the other day, and that was probably too big a stage for him this early because we hadn’t really given him a chance to play” Self said.

“Of those three, I would say Lagerald has been the most consistent of the three. But you always want to have somebody in there that can stretch the defense and shoot the ball. Thing about it with Brannen, the other team’s always going to have to guard him because he does shoot it so well.”

Greene had seven points and four boards in 10 minutes, while Vick missed one shot and had a foul in two minutes, and Mykhailiuk didn’t play versus UK. Self said after the game that freshman forward Carlton Bragg Jr. (six points) and Cheick Diallo (two) would continue to be called upon as the Big 12 slate resumes Wednesday against Kansas State (8 p.m., Allen).

“They have played better in practice, primar-

“We have a lot of things in common, size, going to Kansas and both of us being underrated.

That’s big for both of us.

He said he felt like he was underrated his entire life, and I definitely feel like I’ve been underrated my whole life.”

Given Mayberry’s connection to Harris, it would seem logical the three-star prospect who got his nickname in eighth grade because coaches, teammates, friends and foes said his confidence reminded them of the boxer Floyd “Money” Mayweather would be rooting for the Broncos on Sunday.

But that’s not exactly the case. See, Mayberry said he has been a Cam Newton fan for as long as he can remember and, because of that, loves the

ily Cheick,” Self said.

“Cheick’s played better the last couple days in practice, and I thought he was pretty good, and Carlton obviously made some shots and played well. Those eight points of jumpers (three buckets

by Bragg, one by Diallo) kind of bailed us out when Perry (Ellis) wasn’t in the game (because of foul problems). So they were very important there.

“We played triangleand-two at least half the second half. Our veteran guys have a much better chance to play that well than what Cheick and Carlton do because we haven’t practiced much of late.” l

Mickelson day to day: KU senior forward Hunter Mickelson, who missed the Kentucky game because of a high ankle sprain, remains questionable for Wednesday. He’s listed as day to day. l

Selden shines: Self praised junior guard Selden, who scored a career-high 33 points versus

Panthers. So what happens Sunday when the two square off in Super Bowl 50?

“I’ll definitely be hoping that Chris Harris does great, but I hope the Panthers win,” Mayberry said.

Before then, Mayberry and 14 other future Jayhawks will make their commitments to Kansas official, when they sign and send their national letters of intent to Lawrence on Wednesday, national signing day.

“I’m going to sign at 7:01 a.m.,” said Mayberry, mentioning the first possible minute NCAA rules allow him to make it official.

UK, on Monday’s “Hawk Talk” radio show.

“He looked like a complete player,” Self said, noting Selden scored by getting to the basket, with an in-between game and also by hitting threes.

“Without saying too much, he’s put himself in a position he probably made himself some money on Saturday (emerging as NBA prospect), even though there’s a lot of ball (left). There’s opportunities to lose it, and there’s opportunities to make more. Certainly he put himself in a good place nationally because he did so many good things,” Self added. l

Bolden cuts KU: Marques Bolden, a 6-10 senior forward from DeSoto (Texas) High who is ranked No. 16 nationally by Rivals.com, has cut KU from his list of schools following the recent commitment of Udoka Azubuike. Bolden has a list of Duke, Kentucky, Oklahoma and TCU.

for the 2016 class. Bean, a 6-4, 210-pound athlete who has experience on both sides of the line of scrimmage, became one of KU’s top priorities in the class when local lineman Amani Bledsoe chose Oklahoma.

Like Mayberry, Bean is expected to sign with KU on Wednesday.

Skwarlo will walk on Free State High senior Sam Skwarlo announced on Twitter that he play at Kansas on Monday night.

The Jayhawks’ losing skid currently sits at 12 games. But tonight at Allen Fieldhouse, KU will face a team going through a slump of its own. Iowa State will try to snap a five-game winless stretch.

The last team the Cyclones defeated? Kansas, 65-49, on Jan. 9, in Ames, Iowa.

Return to the paint: In its most recent defeat, a 54-44 loss at Texas Tech, Kansas scored 24 points in the paint — the most for the Jayhawks since Jan. 3, when they had 26 against West Virginia.

KU again got a frontcourt boost from freshman Tyler Johnson at Tech.

The 6-foot-2 forward set a career high with 12 points against the Red Raiders, hitting six of nine shots.

The Leavenworth native led KU in scoring for the first time in her young career and had three rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench.

Kansas junior forward Jada Brown played a key role in the team’s rebounding success, pulling down nine, which tied a career high. Brown had gone 11 straight games with five or fewer boards before playing 18 minutes off the bench at Tech.

ISU’s double-double machine: In order for the Jayhawks to win their first Big 12 game of the season, they’ll have to slow down one of the league’s most productive players. Junior guard Seanna Johnson averages a double-double: 16.9 points per game and 10.0 rebounds.

Texas 67, No. 15 Baylor 59 Waco, Texas — Connor Lammert had 15 points, including a clutch threepointer in the final minute, and Texas on Monday night won for the sixth time in its last seven games.

After Rico Gathers, Baylor’s big man, fouled out and Taurean Prince committed a turnover, Lammert’s three from the right wing with 44 seconds left put the Longhorns (15-7, 6-3 Big 12) ahead 62-56. It was his third three of the game.

Gathers, who had 20 points, fouled out with 1:27 left. Prince had 18 points for the Bears (17-5, 6-3), while Lester Medford added 10.

Duke out of AP Top 25

By Jim O’Connell AP Basketball Writer

For the first time in more than eight years, Duke is nowhere to be seen in the Associated Press Top 25 — not near the top, not even at the bottom. This is the first time since the preseason poll of 2007-08 that the Blue Devils are not ranked.

Duke (15-6) has lost four of its last five, including home games with Notre Dame and Syracuse. Last week’s loss to Miami knocked them out from 24th, ending a run of 167 consecutive appearances in the men’s poll.

The Blue Devils still had a ways to go to catch UCLA, which put together a run of 221 consecutive polls from 1966-80. Kansas now has the longest run, 136 polls that began on Feb. 3, 2009, with Arizona next at 72 consecutive polls.

The Duke team that started the run featured five double-figure scor-

ers — DeMarcus Nelson, Kyle Singler, Gerald Henderson, Jon Scheyer, Greg Paulus — and finished 286, losing to West Virginia in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Singler and Scheyer were the key players two years later when Duke won its fourth of five national championships.

Staying power Oklahoma starts its third week at No. 1, one week short of matching the longest stretch on top this season.

Michigan State held the No. 1 spot for four weeks. The other No. 1 teams this season were all there for two weeks: North Carolina, Kentucky and Kansas.

Oklahoma has been No. 1 for a total of eight weeks, tying the Sooners with St. John’s and West Virginia for 27th place on the all-time list. UCLA is No. 1 among the No. 1s with 134 weeks.

Back again The two newcomers to this week’s poll — No. 24 Dayton and No. 25 South Carolina — have both been ranked earlier in the season.

Dayton (18-3) returns to the Top 25 on a sixgame winning streak. The Flyers cracked the poll for one week then were out the last three.

South Carolina (192) was ranked for five straight weeks before falling out last week.

The Gamecocks have won five of their last six, including the loss to Tennessee that knocked them out of the poll.

So long Duke wasn’t the only team to drop out this week as Notre Dame fell from No. 25. The Fighting Irish were ranked the first three polls of the season then fell out until last week. They lost to Syracuse last week before beating Wake Forest.

Broncos hope to honor ailing owner

By Arnie Stapleton AP Pro Football Writer

San Francisco — Ever since he returned to his beloved Broncos five years ago, John Elway has been eager to utter four words in particular.

“This one’s for Pat!” Team owner Pat Bowlen declared, “This one’s for John!” while jabbing the Lombardi Trophy into the air following the Broncos’ 31-24 win over Green Bay 18 years ago in San Diego after Elway helicoptered his way into NFL immortality in his fourth shot at a title.

A desire to return the favor is what drives the man who has guided Denver to a pair of Super Bowls from the front office to go with the five he delivered during his Hall of Fame playing career.

Super Bowl 50 is the Broncos’ eighth trip to the big game, seven of which have come under Bowlen’s watch, and all of those with Elway’s help, first as his QB and now as his GM. The Broncos’ latest shot at glory has taken on added significance, too, because 18 months ago Alzheimer’s forced Bowlen to step down from his daily duties running the team.

Bowlen, who turns 72 this month, is the first owner in pro football history to win 300 games, including playoffs, in three

IN THIS SEPT. 29, 2013, FILE PHOTO, DENVER BRONCOS OWNER PAT BOWLEN LOOKS ON during a game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Denver. Eighteen years ago, Bowlen declared, “This one’s for John!” following Denver’s first Super Bowl victory. Former Bronco John Elway wants nothing more than to return the favor to Bowlen and hand him a Lombardi Trophy. decades; owns more Super Bowl appearances than losing seasons (five); and has the best winning percentage in the NFL (.615) since buying the team in 1984.

“Let’s get it done for Pat, and go Broncos!” Annabel Bowlen hollered as she accepted the AFC championship trophy on her husband’s behalf two weeks ago, denying Patriots owner Robert Kraft an eighth trip to the Super Bowl.

Although Bowlen no longer pays daily visits to the office — and he’s not

expected to make it to the Super Bowl — he’s still a constant presence at 13655 Broncos Parkway.

“The thing that stands out is that his mission was very simple, and that was — and is — to win,” said team president Joe Ellis, who has been running the team since Bowlen stepped away.

“Do everything you can to win and do it the right way. And so when people come in here that have known him for a number of years, which I have and John Elway has and Gary Kubiak has, we all know

exactly what he stands for. And we can execute that mission every day because we watched him do it.”

Making it to this week is the goal every year, and “so we’re constantly doing things to try to improve the team,” Ellis said.

They built a $38 million indoor practice facility that bears Bowlen’s name two years ago. They spent $8 million to upgrade the football fields at team headquarters. They committed $109.5 million on free agents Aqib Talib,

DeMarcus Ware and T.J. Ward following their Super Bowl loss two years ago.

“We extend every resource and put all of our efforts in to try to win Super Bowls every year,” Ellis said. “We recognize that you’re not going to do that each and every year, but you sure as heck better try.”

Bowlen was always asking, “How can we get better?”

Now it’s Elway, Ellis and Kubiak asking that same question.

“John Elway’s done a great job designing this team, putting it together, bringing in a group of players that fight hard, play for each other. Gary’s got his finger on the pulse of his team, he’s got the attention of his players.

And the players are playing for each other,” Ellis said. “It’s a special group here, and Pat if he could be here every day like he was in the past, would be enormously proud of this team. He’d really, really love this team.”

And they love him, Kubiak said.

“We talk about Mr. B a lot,” Kubiak said. “There are obviously a lot of older players in this organization that know him.

There are people in this organization that know him extremely well, and there are young kids who have probably never met him, maybe have not even seen him this year.

I had Joe talk to the football team ... about Mr. B, how he’s doing and how he’d be very proud of this football team.”

Ownership of the franchise is held in a trust Bowlen set up more than a decade ago in hopes one of his seven children will one day run the team.

Until then, Ellis is doing so in a “What would Pat do?” sort of way.

Bowlen always put production ahead of profits; trained tirelessly for triathlons; fostered a winning atmosphere from the lobby to the locker room; was always quick with a compliment and sure to couch his criticism.

“It’s the old catch phrase ‘win-win,’” Ellis said. “He was all about that.”

He also had a competitive streak that he flashed whether on the road conducting league business, on the sideline watching his team, or on the StairMaster drenched in sweat.

“If there was a way for him to compete against what he’s going through,” offered former defensive end Alfred Williams, “he’d beat that damn disease every time.”

Bowlen was inducted into the team’s ring of fame in November, and Elway said he’s hopeful the next stop for Bowlen is Canton.

Before that, though, he longs to utter those four special words.

Panthers, Broncos meet reporters at media circus San Jose, Calif. (ap) — What happens when you put Peyton Manning, Miss Universe, an orangeand-blue leprechaun and 200 TV cameras into the same room?

Answer: Super Bowl Opening Night.

The NFL took a good idea gone surreal — what used to be known as “Media Day” — gave it a new name, added a live band and moved it to prime time Monday night to kick off Super Bowl week between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers.

This new and amped-up interview-fest came complete with a guy walking around inside an inflatable football and a newly choreographed players’ introduction that involved all 60 players from each team coming out on a four-story-high catwalk.

“I had no idea that was a bridge we were standing on,” Manning said.

Suffice to say, the fivetime MVP, who built a career on his impeccable preparation, couldn’t have predicted a lot of what came his way on this night.

Who would play him in a movie? “Maybe a young Robert Redford,” Manning said.

Another reporter — or make that, person with a credential — asked him to look into the camera and wish a Happy Chinese New Year to all his friends in that part of the world.

And then, there was a long debate over whether Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras are this week, or next? (Answer: Next week. We think.)

All of this thoughtfully brought to prime time by

the NFL for the first time in the 50-year history of the Super Bowl.

For decades, Media Day was a Tuesdaymorning affair — set early in the day, early in the week, so as not to interrupt the teams’ schedules too much and to give writers the rest of the week to craft the stories out of the questions they’d asked.

But this year, the NFL moved it to Monday night, where minor details like dress code, off-color banter and 8-year-olds asking football players questions after bedtime barely raise an eyebrow anymore.

NFL spokesman Michael Signora described the scheduling change as one that allows “more fans (to) experience what has grown to become a very unique, popular Super Bowl event.”

Surprising they didn’t do this earlier. It’s a nod to the reality that “Media Day” has long been a “journalism-free zone” — one in which fans have willingly, for the last five years, paid money for tickets that allow them to sit in the stands and watch the hilarity unfold.

Speaking of which ...

Late in the Broncos media session, Rocky the Leprechaun — a regular at Broncos games over the years — laid a dollar bill out on the blue carpeting of SAP Center and waited to see if someone would pick it up. Several minutes passed. Nobody did.

“Crazy to see that,” he said.

The social experiment complete, he waited for a TV crew that needed him for a live shot.

In the meantime, he

answered one question: What makes this week so great?

“There’s a lot of happiness,” he said. “This world needs all the happiness it can get.”

Only one team will be happy come Sunday night. The Panthers are favored. Manning is a sentimental favorite; at 39, many people expect he’ll retire after this one.

That was one of the few actual news angles to cover during Denver’s hour of fun behind the mic.

“I haven’t made up my mind and I don’t see myself knowing until the season’s over,” Manning said.

Also, the Broncos were involved in a minor bus crash after practice.

There were no injuries.

“Just adds to the intrigue

of what we’ve had all year,” Manning said.

But enough of that serious stuff.

Miss Universe, one of the 5,500 “reporters” with credentials for Super Bowl-week festivities, answered more questions than she asked. Most had to do with Steve Harvey.

“Yes, I am the real Miss Universe,” she said, referencing Harvey’s embarrassing gaffe during that prime-time show a few weeks back.

Harvey was a no-show at this one.

No one missed him.

From the costumes, to the beauty queens, to the guys dressed up like Sesame Street’s Swedish Chef, this prime-time special had pretty much everything — except for Donald Trump, who was waiting on caucus results in Iowa.
