A.G.: Kansans need to vote on judge selection

Problem solvers

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt took no position Tuesday on proposed constitutional amendments to change the way state Supreme Court justices are selected.

But he told Republican lawmakers that he thinks it is time voters are given a chance to decide the Schmidt question.

“My only view is this is an issue that’s not going away until Kansas voters decide it, either by reaffirming the current system, which is one possible outcome, or by adopting an alternate system, which is within their sovereign right,” Schmidt said.

Schmidt spoke Tuesday morning to the House Republican caucus, which could decide

Hillcrest Elementary School awarded for math assessment performance

Hillcrest Elementary School has received a Challenge Award for the performance of its fourthgraders on state math assessments. More than 90 percent of the students scored at or above grade level, a feat the school’s principal attributes to the combined effort of classroom and resource teachers.

“They just work really well together as a team to provide instruction for the varied population that we have,” said Hillcrest Principal Tammy Becker.

The award recognizes the high achievement of schools

“

They just work really well together as a team to provide instruction for the varied population that we have.”

— Hillcrest Principal Tammy Becker with demographic challenges.

Hillcrest is a designated Title 1 and English as a Second Language school, and the majority of its approximately 350 students are economically disadvantaged and “English language learners.”

Because of those designations, Becker said ESL, Title 1 and special education personnel work as a team with classroom teachers.

The award is presented by the Kansas State Department of Education and measures achievement

based on the school’s Kansas Assessment results, the sample size and the socio-economic status of those taking the test.

About 62 percent of the school’s students are economically disadvantaged, and 55 percent are “English language learners.” Additionally, with 42 percent of Hillcrest’s students being white, the school has the most diverse student population Please see HILLCREST, page 2A

within the next few days whether to bring either of two proposed constitutional amendments to the floor for a vote. Both passed out of the House Judiciary Committee last year and remain on the House calendar awaiting action. They are: l House Concurrent Resolution 5004, which would require justices to run for office in partisan elections. l And HCR 5005, which would have justices appointed directly by the governor, subject to Senate confirmation.

A third possibility, HCR 5006, is still in the Judiciary committee and has not yet had a hearing. It would phase in gubernatorial appointment of justices as seats become vacant through retirements or resignations. Governors would have 60 days to make an appointment after being notified of a vacancy, or else the chief justice would be empowered to make the appointment.

At least a dozen states are considering similar bills

By Melissa Hellmann Associated Press

L awrence J ournal -W orld

migration issues on the agenda, with Kansas among about a dozen states considering measures against so-called sanctuary cities that would bar local law enforcement officials from refusing to cooperate with federal immigration officials.

The Kansas bills would ban sanctuary cities and withdraw state funding from cities with sanctuary policies. State legislators said the measures would protect citizens from incidents like the July killing of San Francisco woman Kathryn Steinle. The man charged in her death is a Mexican living in the country illegally who was released from jail even though federal agents wanted him

detained for deportation.

“If Kansas’ sanctuary policies are allowed to continue then it will only be a matter of time before someone is hurt or killed,” said Secretary of State Kris Kobach, known for his tough stance on illegal immigration.

Proponents of sanctuary communities, which began in the 1980s when churches sheltered Central American refugees to prevent their deportation, say people need to be able to call on police for help without fear of deportation. Six Kansas counties — Finney, Johnson, Harvey, Sedgwick, Butler and Shawnee — have such policies.

The many state measures follow a failed effort in Congress last year after Steinle’s death.

Senate Democrats blocked

legislation that would have cracked down on sanctuary cities, characterizing it as antiimmigration policy that echoed the rhetoric of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. The GOP House had passed similar legislation last summer.

At least a dozen states now considering similar legislation include Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin, said Ann Morse of the National Conference of State Legislatures. North Carolina was one of the first states to sign prohibitions on sanctuary policies into law last year.

Kansas legislators said the measures would protect citizens from

incidents like the one in San Francisco. Shawnee Republican Rep. Charles Macheers, a sponsor of one bill, said he wants to ensure Kansas communities comply with federal law. Shawnee Republican Rep. Brett Hildabrand, who drafted the other bill, said he didn’t know of any immigration-related problems in the state’s sanctuary counties, but other representatives and citizens wanted to address the issue.

“In visiting some folks around the state after the incident in San Francisco last year, this was something that a lot of people were interested in, so I think that this is something that has grassroots support,” Hildabrand said.

Kansas has about 75,000 “unauthorized immigrants,” according to the Pew Research Center.

Senators consider juvenile justice overhaul Reforms Topeka (ap) — Community-based services helped Cherrie Reynolds’ adopted son avoid juvenile detention, the mother from Atchison told legislators Tuesday, the second day of a Senate committee hearing on a bill that would overhaul the juvenile justice system.

Born addicted to cocaine and crystal methamphetamine, Reynolds’ son had a series of mental and physical health problems that made it difficult for him to function in school and led to him being arrested several times. She said she sought the help a

decade ago of communitybased services, much like those the bill would divert low-level juvenile offenders to instead of putting them in juvenile detention centers.

“The good news is, he’s come through on the other side,” Reynolds said about her son, who graduated in May and is now considering what do to next.

The bill in front of the Senate Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice also proposes to create a team to review cases with the input of families and educators and offers training for juvenile cor-

rections officers.

Senators on the committee heard testimony from both sides of the issue, including district court judges who took part in a bipartisan group that conducted a study on the juvenile justice system and whose findings helped create the framework for the bill. That group found Kansas has the sixth-highest rate of juveniles in outof-home placements in the country.

“We have a very complex system ... and we also have very limited community programs and services,” former Kansas

Department of Corrections Secretary Ray Roberts said.

Placing children in detention centers could introduce trauma that would alter their emotional well-being, according to Megan Milner, deputy superintendent of the Kansas Juvenile Correctional Complex in Topeka. She recommended any court decisions take into consideration a child’s normal development.

“For a lot of the kids that we work with, education is their way out of poverty and it is their way out of crime,” Milner said.

safety issues, including regulations about door stops, power strips, personal appliances and record keeping.”

District officials also said they are working on issues with the school’s heating system that were causing some staff to use space heaters to warm offices and classrooms. As part of New York’s renovation, it received a new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system that required some adjustments.

Kyle Hayden, assistant superintendent of business and operations for the district, said that the issue had to do with the amount of outside air the HVAC system was pulling into the school.

Hayden said adjustments to those levels are typical and don’t indicate a mechanical problem.

“It’s an adjustment

that’s made whether the system is new or not,” he said. “There are more adjustments that need to be made when the system is new, just because everything has to be tested and balanced.”

Hayden said buildings in the district are set at 71 degrees, and while a room’s temperature can be adjusted up or down 5 degrees, those adjustments are temporary and some may elect to bring space heaters to maintain a warmer temperature.

The final set of reviews on the school will be conducted in the spring or summer. The district has contracted with the firm Viridian and has begun planning the reviews of New York and 15 other schools.

The reviews take three to five days and make sure HVAC, electrical and lighting systems are

functioning as intended, said Tony Barron, director of facilities and operations for the district.

“They’re basically ensuring that we’re getting the services that we’ve paid for through the bond project, making sure that we meet those requirements and if for some reason we haven’t we’ll go back to our contractors and ask them to fulfill that,” Barron explained.

Barron said the review will also look at whether systems are functioning efficiently, and that the commissioning agent will deliver a final report to the district. The reviews are coordinated with contractors and the schools and are in the process of being scheduled, he said.

But those reports have been criticized because they do not include the cost of food provided at buffet-style events where lobbyists invite committees, caucuses or even the entire Legislature.

But some opengovernment advocates have long argued that the “wining and dining” of legislators is only a small part of the overall picture. The real money, they say, is in the amount of money that businesses, associations and other interest groups spend on the lobbyists themselves.

Other bills Holland introduced Tuesday include: l Banning purchases of food and drink for individual legislators, allowing such purchases only if they are provided to the entire Legislature, and banning gifts of sports or entertainment tickets. l Prohibiting the three managed care organizations that run the state’s privatized Medicaid system, KanCare, from making any political contributions to legislators who serve on the KanCare Oversight Committee. l Expanding the Kansas Open Records Act to include job applications from anyone seeking an appointment to a public position from the governor. l Establishing an independent, nonpartisan commission to redraw legislative and congressional district boundaries after each federal census.

Holland said the proposals’ unifying theme is “good government, and open government.”

“That’s why you’re seeing revolt on both sides of the political spectrum,” he said. “People realize the system is rigged for special interests, well monied, well connected. That’s how we get the people’s trust back.”

consequences any consideration, said Eudora Superintendent Steve Splichal. However, he said the board and the community were aware of the bill and had concerns.

The bill’s goal is to eliminate administrative costs, and it provides more specifics about that aspect of future consolidated districts than it does about how the newly formed districts would be governed, Splichal said. The bill would cap the number of administrators and supervisory service employees of a newly consolidated district at 120 percent of the number employed by the larger district before realignment.

The provision would force a newly consolidated Baldwin-Eudora school district to release one superintendent, as

well as supervisors in such areas as finance, transportation, maintenance and information technology, Splichal said.

The bill doesn’t address what the consolidated district’s governing body would look like.

Dorathy and Splichal said a new board could be established to represent the consolidated district, but it was also possible existing boards of education could be left in place with administrative staff reporting to two or more boards.

“I don’t know how that would work,” Splichal said.

Dorathy and Splichal said other concerns include deposition of reserve funds that district taxpayers have built over the years and which taxpayers would be responsible for existing debt.

The biggest concern

Dorathy and Splichal have would be the change in the relationships the Baldwin and Eudora school districts now enjoy with their communities. The districts each serve a single community, with which each is closely identified.

“What the Baldwin and Eudora school districts do is much aligned with the views and expectations of their communities,” Splichal said. “This would sort of take away that locally determined consensus that drives decisions.”

That lack of consensus could hamper progress on tough decisions like bond issues, especially if the need was driven by growth in only one community, Dorathy said.

Dorathy and Splichal agree the bill’s passage would lead to the

Rodden said he anticipated the Baldwin City Council would start making decisions on those projects now that he is on the job.

“Some of that will probably be moved to the front burner,” he said. “It is really how much the community wants. You never do a community project on your own. I was lucky to have a lot of community support. If we can generate that here, we can make progress on some of those needs.”

One unfilled desk remains in City Hall. The community development director position has been vacant since June, when Collin Bielser resigned to take the job as city administrator of Fairbury, Neb. “The city clerk (Laura Hartman) and I worked on a job description on that Monday,” he said. “I look to get that vacancy posted this week.”

On a personal note, Rodden said he has found a home in Baldwin City, but won’t be able to move for another month. In the meantime, Rodden will commute from Holton.

The state fire marshal inspected the school in mid-December, and Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll said the fire marshal will return this week for a follow-up inspection to make sure all issues have been corrected. Most of the corrections involved doors being propped open, improper use of appliances and incomplete records for tests of the school’s alarm systems.

“Most issues noted in this fire inspection report involve changing human behavior,” Doll said via email. “The school district works on an ongoing basis to educate our 1,800+ staff about fire

With an enrollment of 1,437, the Baldwin City district falls just short of the 1,500 threshold. At its current rate of growth it would not top the 1,500-student threshold in the foreseeable future, Baldwin City Superintendent Paul Dorathy said.

The Kansas Association of School Boards prepared a report on the realignments that would be ordered should the bill become law. That report proposed that Baldwin City align with Eudora, a district with 1,743 students.

“The Rice Foundation is pleased to have been able to make this grant to the Lied Center to start an endowed fund, which we believe will be of substantial educational benefit to the

youth of our community,” said Peter Curran, president of the Rice Foundation board of trustees.

Dolph C. Simons Jr., editor of the Lawrence Journal-World, said the center and its programs play an important role in the educational experience for K-12 students in Lawrence.

“This expansion will enrich the lives of many more young people throughout the district, and the Simons family is pleased to be able to help in this effort,” Simons said.

elimination of schools in rural communities as combined county boards looked to save money.

“Schools are the lifeblood of (rural) communities,” Splichal said.

“They determine what people do on Friday nights, when they go to musicals — everything.”

It’s that concern that gives him confidence the bill will go nowhere this election year, said Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City.

“There’s too many rural legislators out there worried about putting something in place that will be less desirable for their school districts,” he said.

“It would be another millstone around their necks.”

County treasurer seeks system to reduce long lines at office

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Douglas County commissioners will consider a request today to allow County Treasurer Paula Gilchrist to waive formal bidding procedures as she works to solve problems of long lines at her office.

Gilchrist is requesting authorization to enter into contracts totaling from $16,500 to $18,500 with line management company QLess. The contracts would allow QLess to train staff and develop a system that would allow county taxpayers to use phones or the Internet to electronically get in line when paying personal property or real estate taxes or renewing vehicle registrations.

Gilchrist wrote in a report that Riley, Johnson,

Sedgwick, Shawnee and Wyandotte counties use such systems to shorten lines when taxes or vehicle registrations are due.

Commissioners will also consider a request to have the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Board partner with the county in the administration of the Parent Health Literacy Training and Services Program. Since 2013, the county has worked with the Kansas Head Start Association to provide to county parents the book “What to Do When Your Child Gets Sick� and training on its content. A number of health and human service agencies provide the training and books.

The program has been credited with reducing emergency room visits and unnecessary doctor visits.

The county serves as

the pass-through agency of $92,000 of Medicaid funds from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, which pays for half the annual cost of the program in Douglas County. The other half of the funding is from a Kansas Head Start grant.

Assistant County Administrator Sarah Plinsky wrote in a report to commissioners that the health board will help ensure the program is administered properly.

The Douglas County Commission meets at 4 p.m. each Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. A full meeting agenda is available online at douglascountyks.org. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166 or ejones@ljworld.com.

Residents at home during break-in

J

ust before midnight on Thursday, police received a call from   a rural Baldwin City resident. The caller was a resident of the home and was inside the home — along with two people who weren’t supposed to be there.

A deputy was in the area at the time of the call and headed toward the home in the 600 block of East 2100 Road, said Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek.

The caller reported the two suspects had broken in, Dymacek said.

Before they were out of the driveway, the deputy stopped the two suspects, noting they were in possession of several personal belongings from inside the home, Dymacek said.

Cody Daniel Goodlett, 20, and Sabastian Michael Robinson, 23, both of Baldwin City, were

Because the victim and the suspect in the incident are known to each other, the public is not believed to be in danger at this time, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley.

Food for fines: Commissioner wants option for paying parking tickets

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

For a second time, Commissioner Matthew Herbert has asked that the City Commission consider raising fines for metered parking violations in Lawrence while simultaneously offering violators the option to donate canned goods instead of paying the fees.

Herbert introduced the idea in early December, saying the food could be taken to local food banks.

Other cities — such as Lexington, Ky., Albany, N.Y., and Tallahassee, Fla. — have implemented “Food for Fines� programs in the past couple of years during the holiday season, but Herbert has said he wants Lawrence’s to be year-round. “It could be a great

Housing CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The property for which it’s proposed would have to be annexed into the city, and the property must also be rezoned — an action contingent on approval from the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission and the City Commission. “It still has to go through planning and development processes,� said Assistant City Manager Casey Toomay.

Aaron Gaspers, with Cook, Flatt & Strobel Engineers, told the commission that the project would include eight structures and comprise 12 two-bedroom units and 20 three-bedroom units. The housing would be rent controlled and affordable to households earning 50 to 60 percent of Douglas County’s median income, he said. “It will have outdoor green space and a playground,�

Gaspers said. “It would be built to blend in to the surrounding area, be energy efficient and well maintained.�

If awarded tax credits, Wheatland Investments would be required to own The Estates of Lawrence for 30 years. Gaspers said the group has never sold any of its properties for

thing for our community and those in hunger,� Herbert said in December. “Hunger is not a seasonal thing.�

He said at Tuesday’s City Commission meeting Herbert that he had recently discussed the idea with city staff. Because there would be revenue lost, Herbert suggested the new policy be considered along with an increase in fees.

Enforcing the metered parking violations costs the city more than the fines generate, Herbert said.

Currently, those cited for expired time violations are fined $3. The fee increases to $15 after 10 days of nonpayment.

According to the municipal court’s latest annual report, fees for metered

parking violations brought in nearly $500,000 in revenue in 2014, with 94,390 tickets issued.

Herbert suggested increasing the fees from $1 to $2 per ticket, which, he said, would still be relatively low compared with fees issued by Kansas University and neighboring communities.

Mayor Mike Amyx said Tuesday that he would work to get the item on an upcoming agenda. “We’ve been talking about it, it’s got definite advantages to our community, I believe, and I’d like to see it brought before the commission,�

Herbert said.

which they’ve received the credits.

The site proposed for The Estates of Lawrence is now-vacant property at 1356 East 1600 Road, which is currently Douglas County territory.

If the tax credits were awarded, annexation into the city would be Wheatland Investment’s next request. “I think this is wonderful; we need more affordable housing, and this fits with your goals this year,� Lawrence resident KT Walsh told commissioners. “I also know this is just a conditional approval, and I know these tax credits are difficult to get and state is under pressure to distribute them fairly.�

Walsh went on to say that if the credits were approved, she’d like the city to come up with a way to make sure The Estates of Lawrence stays affordable, even if Wheatland Investments were to sell the development after 30 years.

In other business: l Commissioners unanimously approved keeping stop signs at two intersections on 27th Street that were intended to be only temporary.

The city installed stop signs, one at 27th and Louisiana streets and one at 27th Street and Ridge Court, while the Kansas Department of Transpor-

tation closed 31st Street to make preparations for the South Lawrence Trafficway.

After the street was reopened, the city reported the traffic counts at the two intersections no longer met requirements for stop signs. But residents of the area have said they wanted the stop signs to stay.

On Tuesday, a halfdozen residents of the Indian Hills neighborhood spoke in favor of keeping the stop signs, saying they help keep traffic off the street and lower speeds.

Commissioners also received 41 pages of correspondence, many from residents asking that the stop signs become permanent.

One resident of the neighborhood, Edwin Rothrock, who also served at one point on Lawrence’s Traffic Safety Commission, asked that the stop signs remain only temporarily until commissioners decided on other traffic-calming measures to install along the street.

As part of their motion, commissioners asked that city staff study traffic on 27th Street and determine whether other, different traffic-calming tools are needed.

Many possible causes for wife’s odd behavior Dear Annie: I know I have my faults, but I can’t figure out why my wife suddenly hates me. She has said so.

We have been married for 25 years and it’s like a light switch flicked. At first, I didn’t quite get it and didn’t respond well (arguing and shouting at her).

But when the cold shoulder turned icier and she began distancing herself, I figured the appropriate response was to load up on the patience and understanding. But the crazy thing is, the nicer I am, the angrier she gets.

She has even said that she never loved me.

That can’t be true.

I remember that we would hug and kiss daily and hold hands all the time. We have shared many laughs and many travels, and sex was regularly fulfilling for us both. I thought we

were happy.

The only thing I can think of is that our kids are now in college and I think my wife is struggling with being an empty nester. She was a stay-at-home mom and school volunteer, so this is a major adjustment. But my wife refuses to consider this possibility. She brings up arguments we had 10 years ago. I can’t get her to recall the good times. She is fixated on how “horrible” I am and thinks mar-

‘Madoff’ makes for great drama “Madoff” (7 p.m., ABC, TV14, concluding tomorrow) is the kind of event television that networks used to regularly broadcast during February sweeps. It’s water-cooler worthy and very good — make that great — drama, to boot.

In what could be one of the signature performances of his career, Richard Dreyfuss (“Jaws,” “The Goodbye Girl,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”) captures the essence of financial swindler Bernard Madoff.

In fact, Dreyfuss captures several versions of Madoff, or at least the faces he turned to the world.

He’s seductive as the financial investor and adviser, a sage veteran who appears to be doing you a favor by allowing you to park your savings in his account, a portfolio the steady earnings of which appear to defy the roller-coaster nature of the market. He’s also a stern but caring father, a loving brother, a great uncle, a generous philanthropist and a pillar of society.

A wizard of multitasking, Dreyfuss’ Madoff celebrates his brother’s cancer remission with a family party while fielding phone calls from his criminal confederates about a threat to their Ponzi scheme. And all the while bouncing a grandchild on his knee.

A great cast includes Blythe Danner as Madoff’s wife, Ruth.

Michael Rispoli (“The Sopranos) is Frank DiPascali, the computer wizard at the heart of Madoff’s scams, and Charles Grodin and Lewis Black play heavyweight investors.

Frank Whaley brings real pathos to Harry Markopolos, an analyst and mathematics genius who stumbled upon Madoff’s fraud years before it came to light. Unable to translate his highly technical findings into comprehensible English, Markopolos is long dismissed as a crank. He is the Cassandra of this tale, but hardly the only victim of the Madoff tragedy.

It may be a backhanded compliment to describe “Madoff” as something you might more likely see on HBO or Netflix. But it points to its quality and the rarity of such offerings on network television. I can only hope this becomes a trend.

Tonight’s other highlights O Neighbors turn a blind eye to an assault on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

O “NOVA” (8 p.m., PBS, TVG, check local listings) presents “Creatures of Light,” a look at deep-sea creatures that sparkle and glow.

Questionable comparison Narrowing a stretch of West Ninth Street may or may not have resulted in a small reduction in collisions, and that decline shouldn’t be used to support a similar project on Kasold Drive.

A

small drop in collisions on a narrowed stretch of Ninth Street in no way supports a similar narrowing project being discussed on Kasold Drive.

A report released last week shows that Ninth Street between Mississippi Street and Emery Road had an average of 29 collisions per year from September 2011 through September 2014. The next year, through September 2015, after the street was reduced from four lanes (two lanes in each direction) to three lanes (one lane in each direction and a left-turn lane), there were 24 collisions.

That’s a 17 percent reduction, which is nice, but it may not justify traffic backups that regularly occur on that stretch since Ninth Street was narrowed. Because the city doesn’t have any traffic counts that correspond with the collision figures, it’s also difficult to know whether collisions were reduced because of the narrowing or because of some other factor — perhaps that Ninth Street was simply handling less traffic in the latest counting period.

The intersection of Sixth and Iowa streets was under construction in the summer of 2014, which likely increased traffic on Ninth Street and perhaps contributed to more collisions during that time period. It also seems likely that traffic backups that occur since Ninth Street was narrowed have caused more drivers to avoid that route, perhaps lowering the number of collisions in the latest year.

During a public meeting last September about a proposed plan to narrow Kasold Drive between 14th and Eighth streets, City Engineer Dave Cronin noted that the city needed to look at whether the narrowing of Ninth Street had an impact on the number of collisions. Although Cronin said the projects and areas are different, even the small reduction in collisions on Ninth Street might be used as evidence to support narrowing Kasold, a project that has drawn substantial local opposition.

The Kasold project has been on the Lawrence City Commission’s back burner for several months, but Cronin said it probably will be back on the agenda soon. When that happens, city commissioners shouldn’t place too much stock in the minimal reduction in collisions along Ninth Street as a recommendation for pursuing a similar strategy on Kasold. Safety certainly should be a concern but so should the fact that Kasold is the only major northsouth route across Lawrence between Iowa Street and Wakarusa Drive.

Angry voters send message in Iowa Washington — Who will win the Republican and Democratic nominations is still anyone’s guess, but the Iowa caucus voters defined three themes that are likely to roll through the rest of this year’s campaign: alienation, disruption and resilience.

Let me unpack those words. Our political system has been shaken by the anger of middle-class voters who doubt the elite’s political nostrums; the insurgent candidates’ provocative, populist counterarguments have had a disruptive effect on both parties; and yet, the most extreme and demagogic responses seem to have been rejected by a resilient electorate.

How will this fractious campaign look to people overseas who are at once hungry for American leadership and dubious about its staying power? I hope they will see that the U.S. is in a necessary process of internal renewal and reinvigoration. We’re grappling with the same issue facing all advanced economies — how to revive growth and distribute its fruits more fairly. An America that can tackle that problem head-on can perhaps help revive a stagnant global economy.

Foreign fears of an American implosion should diminish, too: The likelihood that the bombastic Donald Trump will emerge as the winner — which a week ago provoked gasps, quite literally, from European friends of the United States — now looks a little less likely.

“

The disruptive idea this year, as David Corn of Mother Jones has described it, is that the system isn’t working well enough to maintain the living standards of the vast bulk of Americans who live between the coasts.”

After Iowa, it’s a mistake to pretend that voters aren’t angry with conventional, middle-of-the-road solutions and prepared to listen to unconventional ones. That’s the message of Bernie Sanders’ success in battling Hillary Clinton to a near draw in the Democratic caucus. And it’s a mistake to think that if only Clinton, or Marco Rubio on the Republican side, could package mainstream politics better, the country would get on board. The next president isn’t going to limp to the finish with a warmed-over, pepped-up version of the past.

The disruptive idea this year, as David Corn of Mother Jones has described it, is that the system isn’t

working well enough to maintain the living standards of the vast bulk of Americans who live between the coasts. This doesn’t mean that Sanders has the answers; from what we’ve seen so far, his proposals for free college and universal health care would push the country further toward insolvency and division, rather than prosperity and unity. But he is engaging the issues that concern the country in a straightforward, constructive way.

You can’t call Sanders a crank or an accident anymore. He embodies something real. My favorite Iowa campaign moment came last week when Sanders asked a woman at a rally to describe what it was like to live near the poverty line. She tearfully explained the difficulty of caring for her family, and the shame. Any American who didn’t have a lump in the throat listening to her emotional words has lost touch with what “pursuit of happiness” means.

What other lessons can we take from Iowa? I wish I could write off Donald Trump, as the man who “could not close the deal,” as Tom Bevan wrote Tuesday on Real Clear Politics.

Or that I could agree with The Daily Beast that with Ted Cruz’s GOP victory, to quote one of Trump’s own vainglorious tweets, “nobody remembers who came in second.”

What we do know is that Trump’s blowhard, professional-wrestling promoter style failed to capture an

Iowa Republican electorate that identified itself as 64 percent “evangelical.”

The polls had suggested that these voters would be swayed by Trump’s constant boasting that he was a “winner” and ignore this self-declared evangelical’s comic mistake last Sunday of nearly putting money into the plate of communion wafers. It turned out that Iowans had better sense.

Another obvious postIowa lesson is that Clinton is going to have to become a better candidate. And by that, I don’t simply mean that she has to buff her image and give better speeches. No, what Clinton really must do now is engage the economic issues that animate the alienated Sanders, Cruz and Trump voters.

The electorate senses the “secular stagnation” in the economy that Lawrence Summers, a former Treasury secretary and longtime Clintonite, has been talking about the past three years.

Summers and other economists have been discussing radical ideas to spur growth and foster equality that go beyond the usual establishment trinity of trade, technology and transfer payments. Clinton needs to embrace them.

A disaffected America can be drawn into a civilized — but disruptive — dialogue about political change and reformation. That’s a positive message from Iowa, at home and abroad.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 3, 1916: years “Three car loads ago of re-enforcing IN 1916 steel for the girders and arches of the new Kansas River bridge are being unloaded on the north bank of the river this afternoon. The steel was brought to Lawrence over the interurban track. This is the first shipment of an order of eleven car loads which will be used in the construction of the bridge.”

Wheelchair team is fairness issue for KU The other day the University Daily Kansan ran an article that has not attracted a great deal of attention in the media, but it should. The UDK reported that the Kansas University Student Senate’s request that the university establish and fund a wheelchair basketball team had been turned down by the KU administration because of concerns over the budget in the next few years.

According to the UDK, Joe Monaco, of the KU Office of Strategic Affairs stated, “We have many competing priorities for funding, several of which have been proposed for legislative funding for at least two years. Our concern is that the timing is not right to add another large funding item to that list, despite the merits of such a team.”

With all due respect to Mr. Monaco and the KU central administration, I believe that this decision is wrong in every way.

If KU truly embraces diversity, then it must include within this concept those students who have physical disabilities. Students who must use wheelchairs have overcome substantial impediments in order to get to

Mike Hoeflich

“

If KU truly embraces diversity, then it must include within this concept those students who have physical disabilities.”

KU. It is not easy to excel in school when confined to a wheelchair. And, yet, the students at KU who would most benefit from having a wheelchair basketball team are those who have managed to excel academically in order to come here to study. Shouldn’t every student have a chance to have the fullest educational experience possible at KU? For years, I believed that college level athletics did not serve most students. I have come to have a different view in recent years. In-

tercollegiate and intramural sports at a university provide students with learning experiences that they cannot get in the classroom.

Intercollegiate teams build pride and institutional loyalty both in team members and fans. To think that we are unwilling to provide these opportunities for all students who are capable of engaging in these sports is something I find truly troubling.

Another factor that I think needs to be considered in connection with whether to establish a wheelchair basketball team at KU is the fact that KU has made a vigorous effort to attract military veterans to study here during the past decade. Unfortunately, a number of veterans who are now students have physical disabilities that are a result of their service.

Should these veterans be denied the opportunity to compete in intercollegiate sports because they served their countries and suffered permanent physical harm as a result? One need only look at the studies on rehabilitation techniques for disabled veterans to see

how important sports can be to the process. As a university dedicated to recruiting and educating veterans, do we not have a moral obligation to ensure that they have every opportunity nondisabled students have to engage in sports as both fans and players?

With all due respect to the central administration, the point made by Mr. Monaco that there are “competing priorities” for the university and its budget does not mean that we should not have a wheelchair basketball team. The real question is where do the university’s priorities lie. I believe that providing equal opportunities for all KU students must be the university’s highest priority. If students are truly the university’s highest priority and we truly believe in diversity and equal educational opportunity, then I hope students, faculty and alumni will speak out and convince the KU administration to reverse its decision on wheelchair sports.

ten give awards along the way or at the end of the semester.

Volunteers can be parents or just live in the neighborhood near schools, and duties include checking kids in and out or working as a course monitor. Courses are relatively short, consisting of several blocks surrounding each school. The

monitors run (or walk) the route along with students or stand at turns and crossings to ensure safety, often offering encouragement as well.

Depending on the school, the clubs meet before or after school and on early-release Wednesdays.

The district’s Marathon Clubs page lists contact information for each school’s club for those who would like more details about a specific school’s club at USD497.org. The volunteer meeting will be from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

hether you have the endurance to keep up with the kids in your neighborhood or not, you can still help your neighborhood school’s marathon club.

The Lawrence school district’s marathon clubs are holding a meeting Thursday for those interested in volunteering. The coordinators are looking for more volunteers — no running required — as they prepare to kick off clubs for the spring semester at all 18 elementary and middle schools across the district.

The clubs keep track of how far students run or walk each session as they work their way toward the equivalent of a marathon (about 26 miles), and of-

POLLS MISSED VOTERS’ VERDICT

Dramatic story behind hostage rescue by Navy SEAL team revealed Sailor earns Medal of Honor for heroic actions in Afghanistan Gregory Korte and Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Chief Special Warfare Operator Edward Byers was the second one through the door as his SEAL Team Six unit raided OTSEGO HIGH a Taliban hide-out where an Edward American doctor was held Byers grad- hostage. uated OtInside, he saw an unknown sego High in man darting for the corner of the 1997. room. Not knowing whether the

man was a militant grabbing a gun or a hostage diving for cover, Byers tackled him to the floor.

When Byers heard the hostage identify himself, he threw himself on top of the doctor to protect him from gunfire, even as he pinned the enemy against the wall with his hand to the enemy’s throat.

Byers’ role in the rescue mission, a tightly held secret until Tuesday, earned him the Medal of Honor, the White House said Tuesday. President Obama will present the highest military honor to Byers at the White House on Feb. 29.

Byers’ commendation cites

LESLYE DAVIS, MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE/CORBIS

only “his courageous actions while serving as part of a team that rescued an American civilian being held hostage in Afghanistan, December 8-9, 2012.” The awarding of the Medal of Honor provides a unique view into the mission in 2012 to rescue the American doctor and how the elite and secretive Navy SEAL unit operates.

Dilip Joseph was rescued by a group of a Navy SEAL Team Six operators in Afghanistan.

Yahoo’s new strategy amounts to ‘for sale’ Troubled company cuts 15% of workforce Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

NEWS ANALYSIS

SAN

FRANCISCO

The end of an era?

Perhaps, after Yahoo announced on Tuesday more than 1,600 job cuts — 15% of its workforce — and the closure of operations in five cities amid middling quarterly results. The

news sent Yahoo shares retreating 1% in after-hours trading. At $28.34 a share, it hovers near its 52-week low.

The company’s vow to explore “strategic alternatives” is tantamount to a billboard-sized sign on the lawn of its Sunnyvale, Calif., headquarters that says, “Yahoo For Sale.”

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer remains deeply attached to turning around Yahoo, and outlined a “three-legged stool” strategy of focusing on search, email and microblogging property Tumblr.

“Our vision of Yahoo isn’t changing,” she said, but the company’s

board of directors will engage with qualified strategic proposals.

Mayer put a brave face on the slashing — “This is a strong plan calling for bold shifts in products and in resources,” she said — but her best talking points can’t mask the fact that things have gone badly. Yahoo’s quarterly revenue of $1.27 billion and earnings of 13 cents a share were roughly in line with analyst estimates, but the company is being squeezed by Google and Facebook for its lifeblood, online advertising.

Several minutes after the announcement, Charles Schwab resigned from Yahoo’s board of

directors, according to CNBC. Board member Max Levchin departed in December.

The deep cuts, which amount to $400 million a year, and chatter of a “reverse spin” don’t signal just rough times for Yahoo but a gambit by Mayer to buy time and get the moribund company into shape to make it more attractive to potential buyers.

Mayer needs to appease angry shareholders such as Starboard Value and Canyon Capital, which claim she and her management team have made scant progress the past three-and-a-half years to turn around Yahoo.

Volatile election year may mean unreliable surveys Deirdre Shesgreen USA TODAY

WASHINGTON If Donald Trump was feeling cocky on the eve of Monday’s Iowa caucus, he had good reason: 13 polls showed him winning that all-important presidential contest.

They were all wrong — as Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz trumped the pollsters, and his rival, to come out on top. On the Democratic side, the majority of recent polls gave Clinton an edge over her main rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. But Clinton eked out a very narrow win.

Anyone who predicted the outcomes deserves a “special pundit medal of honor,” Amy Walter wrote in an post-election analysis for the non-partisan Cook Political Report.

Political experts pointed to three reasons the polls were off: uThis is an extremely volatile political climate, driven by an angry electorate whose voting preferences are difficult to gauge; uPollsters low-balled turnout among evangelical voters and underestimated Cruz’s get-out-thevote operation; uThe Iowa caucuses are uniquely tough to predict, with a quirky process and lots of lastminute deciders.

“It is really difficult to predict (the outcome) in a caucus state when there are so many candidates,” said Darren W. Davis, a political science professor at the University of Notre Dame who specializes in public opinion and political behavior.

The widespread voter angst, Davis said, also added to the unpredictability, making it harder to estimate how many new voters would turn out and how reliable voters would cast their ballots.

Walter said experts predicted high turnout would favor Trump, but “his polarizing nature also helped turn out people who don’t want to see him win.”

As the presidential contest moves to New Hampshire, it’s unclear if the Granite State polls will be any more precise than the Iowa polls. What is clear, said Davis, is the public and the press need to be “a little less excitable and a little more discerning” in how we digest such surveys.

Indeed, Walter said New Hampshire polls may be even more unreliable. “This is a state that is notorious for breaking late and people deciding late in the game,” she said.

ZIKA EXPOSES SEPARATE CRISIS IN LATIN AMERICA Report reveals lack of access to abortion services, birth control Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

The Zika outbreak spreading throughout Latin American and the Caribbean is shedding light on what women’s health advocates call an equally important public health crisis: the lack of contraception and basic maternity care in much of the region.

Last week, the government of El Salvador advised women to postpone pregnancy for two years to reduce the risk of serious birth defects linked to the Zika virus, which has spread to 25 countries and territories in Latin America.

The virus is associated with microcephaly, a birth defect in which babies often suffer from intellectual disabilities.

“They are making these recommendations, as if this is something that is always a woman’s choice,” said Alejandra Colom, who works in Guatemala for the Population Council, which studies family planning. “These decisions are not necessarily in the hands of women.”

In many Latin American and Caribbean countries, basic contraception, such as birth control

pills and IUDs, are in short supply. That means even women with access to a doctor or clinic may not be able to get birth control, Colom said.

The region’s conservative culture often puts men in control of their family’s size, Colom said.

Haiti has some of the worst access to contraception: 62% of women of reproductive age lack access to birth control, according to a report released Tuesday by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Women in Nicaragua fare the best, according to Kaiser’s survey

“They are making (advisories) as if this is something that is always a woman’s choice.”

Alejandra Colom, the Population Council, on guidelines from El Salvador

of 18 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean; just 20% of women there lack access to contraception.

In five countries — the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti and Honduras — clinics ran out of contraceptive supplies in 2015, according to the Kaiser report.

Colom hopes the Zika virus outbreak will change conversa-

tions around contraception and lead governments to make birth control more available.

Rates of sexual violence are high in many Latin American countries, Kaiser found. About 5%-15% of women in Latin America or the Caribbean report having been the victim of violence from a sexual partner, the World Health Organization reports.

Latin America and the Caribbean have some of the world’s most restrictive abortion laws, according to Kaiser.

The Dominican Republic, El Salvador and Nicaragua ban all abortions, according to Kaiser.

Six others — Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Paraguay, Suriname and Venezuela — allow abortion only to save a woman’s life. .

Strict laws haven’t stopped women from ending pregnancies.

About 4.4 million women had abortions in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2008. About 95% of those abortions were considered unsafe, according to the Guttmacher Institute.

Abortion rights group Women on the Web has offered to help women in Zika-affected countries undergo abortions by sending pills to women less than nine weeks pregnant. Abortion-rights opponents say the practice is dangerous. Microcephaly typically is diagnosed around the 24th week of pregnancy.

WASHINGTON The Islamic State is threatening to seize Libyan oil refineries — and gain a major new revenue source — as the terrorist group expands its presence in the war-torn country.

Islamic State fighters have pushed toward critical port facilities near their Libyan stronghold of Sirte, according to a senior State Department official who was not authorized to talk publicly about the issue and asked not to be named.

Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday that the U.S. and its allies have made progress against the Islamic State in parts of Iraq and Syria but are concerned the group has spread into Libya.

“That country has resources,” Kerry said. “The last thing in the world you want is a false caliphate with access to billions of dollars of oil revenue.”

Kerry spoke in Rome where a coalition of 23 nations met to review their strategy to defeat the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS. The militants are attempting to expand into Ras Lanuf and Brega, large refinery and export facilities east of Sirte, the State Department official said. Ras Lanuf came under attack by mili-

tants last month in fighting that touched off a large fire.

The ports are no longer used to export oil, but the refineries there can still process domestic supplies and store oil. The Islamic State may be attempting to control the ports in order to exert influence over Libya’s weak government and force it to make concessions, the official said.

It’s unlikely the militants could use the facilities to export oil abroad, the official added.

Libya, once a major oil producing country, is no longer pumping oil from its fields inside the country but continues to pull oil from offshore rigs.

U.S. officials have met with Libyan government representatives to discuss ways of trying to protect the ports or move stored oil out of the area.

If the ports fall under Islamic State control, it will be difficult to expel the terror group, since many of the chemicals used in the refining process are explosive. It took months for Iraqi forces to push out Islamic State militants from Beiji, an Iraqi refinery that fell under Islamic State control.

If the militant group seizes control of the refineries in Libya, that poses another risk: A potential environmental catastrophe that could reach Europe if oil spills into the Mediterranean Sea. Since a U.S.-backed coalition helped rebels overthrow the regime of Libyan leader Moammar Ghadafi in 2011, the country has spiraled further into chaos, with rival governments now struggling for control.

SEAL threw himself on hostage to shield him v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Dilip Joseph was the medical director for a faith-based Colorado non-profit group establishing medical clinics in remote parts of Afghanistan when he was captured for ransom with his driver and translator. Four days later, having information that Joseph might be moved to Pakistan, U.S. commanders organized a rescue team, according to an unclassified summary of the mission obtained

by USA TODAY. Byers and the team walked four hours through the Afghan mountains to reach the Taliban compound, arriving shortly after midnight Dec. 9, 2012. Their mission relied on surprise and speed, and everyone on the team volunteered for the mission. “Trading personal security for speed of action was inherent to the success of this rescue mission,” a Navy report said.

Inside, the hostage — going into his fifth day of captivity — heard dogs barking and sheep bleating outside the small stoneand-mud shack.

Two of his captors went out to investigate, then came back and conferred quietly, evidently seeing nothing outside.

Joseph had a runny nose and tried to clear it with a well-used handkerchief quietly, so as not to offend Afghan sensibilities about blowing one’s nose in public. He was on the edge of sleep when he heard the first gunshots, he recounted in a 2014 book, Kidnapped by the Taliban: A Story of Terror, Hope, and Rescue by SEAL Team Six. The SEAL Team, about 80 feet from the building, had been spotted by a guard. The forward-most SEAL, Petty Officer 1st Class Nicolas Checque, shot at the guard, who escaped inside. Checque followed him and was shot.

Byers was second through the door. As he tackled an enemy fighter — adjusting his night-vision goggles even as he struggled — a teammate tried to locate the hostage.

MIDNIGHT RESCUE Navy SEAL Team Six operators rescued Dilip Joseph from his Taliban captors in Afghanistan shortly after midnight on Dec. 9, 2012.

On Feb. 29, President Obama will award Chief Special Warfare Operator Edward Byers the Medal of Honor for his part in the mission.

JOSEPH’S RECOLLECTION OF THE RESCUE:

12:20 A.M. Joseph, surrounded

by Taliban guards, awakens from sleep. Two guards are talking a few feet from the entrance.

One guard goes outside and returns. They settle down to sleep.

12:25 A.M. Joseph hears gunfire outside. SEALs using night-vision goggles storm the room. The first SEAL to enter is shot by a guard.

Byers, the second one in, subdues the guard. Other SEALs enter and order everyone to stand. They ask Joseph to identify himself.

“Is Dilip Joseph here?” the teammate shouted, according to Joseph’s account. When he identified himself, one of the SEALs — now known to be Byers — immediately laid down on top of him to protect him from the fighting.

Amid the gunfire, Byers calmly asked if he had been fed, if he could walk and if he had been mistreated.

Even as he did so, Byers pinned the last Taliban fighter to the wall, allowing his fellow team members to shoot and kill him, the Navy report said.

Byers’ actions were so clearly beyond expectation, even for a Navy SEAL, that the Navy had no hesitation in nominating him for the Medal of Honor, according to a Defense official familiar with his case but not authorized to speak publicly about it.

“There’s no margin of doubt or possibility of error in awarding this honor,” the Defense official said. “His actions were so conspicuous in terms of bravery and self-sacrifice that they clearly distinguished him to be worthy of the award, including risk of his own life.”

Five Taliban fighters were killed that night. One Navy SEAL — the first one in the door, who the others called Nic — had been shot in the forehead.

As they waited for a helicopter 12 minutes away, the SEALs protected Joseph by “sandwiching” him between two team members, Joseph said. The one in front of Joseph kept calling to the one behind him, named “Ed,” the only other name Joseph heard that night or since. That man, he now knows for the first time, was Byers.

“What are you doing?” asked the one in front.

“Praying for Nic,” said the one named Ed. “Praying that he’ll be OK.” Byers and other medics attempted to perform CPR on Checque during the 40-minute to Bagram Airfield, where Checque, 28, was pronounced dead.

The mission has been contro-

versial. In a report on SEAL Team Six last year, The New York Times highlighted discrepancies between Joseph’s recollection and the official account.

Joseph said that after the shooting stopped, he saw one of the Taliban fighters — a 19-yearold he called Wallakah, whom he had tried to bond with during his captivity — alive, unhurt and apparently subdued. When he returned inside to wait for the helicopter, Wallakah was dead.

The Pentagon has disputed that account.

In an interview with USA TODAY, Joseph betrayed mixed feelings in an attempt to reconcile his overwhelming gratitude to the SEALs with the surgical, fatal nature of the operation. It’s that contradiction — the compassion and selflessness of these highly trained special operations forces — that left the most lasting impression of SEAL Team Six. “It was amazingly clinical how they handled the whole situation,” Joseph said. “They’re just amazing. They’re very good at what they’re trained to do. But they’re human, too.”

Joseph caught a rare glimpse of that humanity the next day, when he was granted special access to the “ramp” ceremony for Checque. As he watched the SEAL team solemnly load their fallen comrade’s body onto a C-17 cargo plane, Joseph saw tears running down their cheeks.

Only five Navy SEALs have ever been awarded the Medal of Honor, three in Vietnam and one each — posthumously — for actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Byers is the first living sailor to be awarded the Medal of Honor since 1998, when President Clinton awarded one retroactively for action in the Vietnam War. Navy Sea, Air and Land Teams, known as SEALs, are one of the military’s most elite, secretive and storied special operations forces units. It was a similar SEAL Team Six unit that found and killed Osama bin Laden in 2011.

SANDERS, CLINTON RALLY BACKERS

FOR THE GOP’S TOP 3, A NEW RACE IN N.H.

He questions her 0.3-point victory

Trump vows rebound; Cruz channels Reagan; Rubio banks on momentum David M. Jackson l USA TODAY

N

ow comes New Hampshire.

A day after Ted Cruz took Iowa, Republican presidential candidates began flocking to New Hampshire as a new race started to take shape.

Donald Trump vowed a comeback and spun his second-place finish in Iowa as a victory; Texas Sen. Cruz said he was rebuilding the Ronald Reagan coalition; and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said he could bring conservatism to a new generation of voters.

The three were suddenly the focus of attention in New Hampshire, leaving a half-dozen other contenders desperately trying to break into the top tier in next Tuesday’s first-in-the-nation primary.

Racking up a record vote in a record caucus turnout, Cruz said he has the grass-roots organization and the money to replicate his Iowa victory in a number of upcoming primaries.

“When was the last time we broke the Washington cartel? 1980,” Cruz said at a town hall in Windham, N.H., on Tuesday, a reference to Reagan’s comeback victory in the New Hampshire primary after losing Iowa to George H.W. Bush.

“Washington despised Ronald Reagan,” Cruz said, but New Hampshire vaulted him to first place and changed history.

“We won the Cold War, tore the Berlin Wall to the ground ... that’s what New Hampshire did,” Cruz said.

USA TODAY

He said he is rebuilding the “Reagan coalition” of social conservatives, libertarians and conservative Democrats.

Trump’s campaign said the billionaire was endorsed by former Massachusetts senator Scott Brown.

Rubio, saying his third-place finish in Iowa gives him momentum, claimed the endorsement of a lawmaker in another key state: South Carolina. Sen. Tim Scott, whose state will hold a primary Feb. 20, said Rubio is the Republicans’ best bet for a win in the fall general election.

“We have one shot in 2016 to beat Hillary Clinton, and that shot is Marco Rubio,” Scott said in a video released by the Rubio campaign. “And with him as our candidate, we win.”

Rubio told ABC’s Good Morning America that he can unite both the Republican Party and the conservative movement.

Republicans who finished far back in Iowa looked to New Hampshire for a chance to get back into the game.

Key witness tells Bill Cosby’s lawyers, ‘I’m not on your team’

Ex-district attorney says evidence was lacking in 2005 case Maria Puente and Brittany Horn USA TODAY NORRISTOWN, PA .

Bill Cosby’s first hearing in the criminal sexual-assault case against him is proving to be a mixed bag in helping or hurting his efforts to persuade a judge to dismiss charges.

Former district attorney Bruce Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy. To reach us, contact Standards Editor Brent Jones at 800-8727073 or e-mail accuracy@usatoday.com.

Castor, considered by the Cosby legal team to be a key witness testified that he declined to pursue criminal charges against the comedian years ago because of “credibility” issues with Cosby’s accuser in the case, ex-Temple University employee Andrea Constand.

Yet Castor testified that he hopes Cosby fails in his efforts to get the case thrown out.

Castor said there was “insufficient credible and admissible evidence” in 2005 to show Cosby had committed a crime without a reasonable doubt.

“The behavior detailed within (police interviews) was inconsistent with a person who had been sexually assaulted,” Castor testified. “Her actions, on her own, including going to a lawyer before going to police, had created a credibility issue for her that could never be improved upon.”

Still, he was firm: He supports the prosecution team against Cosby.

Bill Cosby arrives Tuesday at the Montgomery County courthouse in Norristown, Pa., for his sexual assault hearing.

“Let’s be clear,” Castor said to Cosby’s attorney. “I’m not on your team here. I want (prosecutors) to win” at the hearing.

On cross examination, Castor was asked whether he believed

what Constand said happened to her more than a decade ago. What he believes and what he can prove are two different things, he replied. “What I think is that Andrea Constand was inappropriately

touched by Mr. Cosby,” Castor said. “I am not analyzing back in 2005 as to what I think. I am analyzing ... as to what I can prove.”

Therefore, he said, he declined to prosecute Cosby in 2005. He said this decision made it impossible for Cosby to claim his Fifth Amendment right not to testify in the civil case Constand later brought against Cosby.

Earlier, Cosby, flanked by two men helping him to walk, arrived where a media mob waited outside the small courthouse.

The scene outside the courthouse resembled the one Dec. 30, when Cosby was charged and arraigned in Elkins Park, Pa., on felony indecent sexual assault charges stemming from an encounter 12 years ago at his nearby home with Constand, who accused him a year later of drugging and raping her.

A referendum on Britain’s membership in the European Union could take place as early as June after the 28-nation bloc unveiled proposals Tuesday aimed at satisfying demands for reform sought by Prime Minister David Cameron.

Cameron has promised to hold a referendum on whether Britain should remain in the EU by 2017 and wants change in four areas — economic governance, competitiveness, sovereignty, and migration and welfare.

European Council President Donald Tusk published draft documents on Tuesday that address Cameron’s demands following talks with the British leader at his Downing Street office.

If EU leaders agree on the reforms at a key summit in Brussels next month, the referendum may take place June 23. If they don’t agree, it would likely be postponed.

Stocks fell sharply Tuesday, with the Dow down almost 300 points, after another sell-off in the oil patch put energy shares on the defensive and risk-taking on hold in what has been a difficult start to 2016.

Increasingly, the trading motto on Wall Street is “as oil goes, so goes the U.S. stock market.” And the correlation between the falling price of U.S.-produced crude and a stock market in the red is intact yet again Tuesday.

“Since the start of the year, there has been a 97% correlation between oil and equity prices,” Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at R.W. Baird, noted in a report. A barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude was down $1.74, or 5.5%, to $29.88 a barrel, and that pressured Dow components Exxon Mobil, which was 2.2% lower despite topping a depressed earnings forecast, and Chevron, which was off 4.8%.

The fall in oil prices — an 11.5% drop already in the two trading sessions this week — has resumed as hopes fade for coordinated production cuts from leading oil producers.

The weakness in Exxon Mobil and Chevron weighed on the 30stock Dow Jones industrial average, which closed down 296 points, or 1.8%, at 16,154. It was the Dow’s worst drop since Jan. 15. The benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 index was 1.9% lower, and the Nasdaq composite dropped 2.2%.

The slow start to the year persists on Wall Street, following the worst January for the Dow and S&P 500 since 2009 during the financial crisis. Stocks tread water on the first day of February with the Dow and S&P 500 down fractionally and the Nasdaq ekeing out a small gain.

VOLATILE CRUDE

@PDavidsonusat USA TODAY

The nation’s largest oil producers are slashing capital outlays and laying off workers in a sign they don’t expect the plunge in crude prices to reverse course anytime soon.

Amid a 58% drop in fourthquarter earnings, Exxon Mobil said Tuesday it will cut capital expenditures by 25% this year to $23.2 billion, following a 15% reduction in 2015.

“We’re going to continue to live within our means,” said Jeff Woodbury, the company’s vice president of investor relations.

U.S. benchmark oil on Tuesday closed down $1.74, or 5.5%, at $29.88 a barrel, settling below $30 again after crashing below that key threshold in mid-January for the first time in 12 years.

The virtual freefall in crude has forced others in the industry to react. Chevron announced a 24% cut in its 2016 capital budget to $26.6 billion and potential layoffs of about 6,500. BP said Tuesday it will trim capital spending by 10% to about $17

billion and has said it will chop 4,000 jobs in 2016.

Until recently, the oil giants resisted the kinds of dramatic belt-tightening undertaken by smaller companies. But after dropping 30.5% in 2015, the U.S. benchmark price is down 19.3% this year and off almost 80% from its summer 2014 peak.

Crude rallied last week on hopes of a deal on production cuts between Russia and OPEC but more than gave back the gains this week as doubts emerged.

Crude has been hammered by weak demand and record production and inventories. Public companies such as Noble Energy and Hess are slicing capital spending by about half this year.

The stepped-up cuts by the largest producers “certainly reflect the fact that the companies have to manage their cash flow in the near-term,” Raymond James analyst Pavel Molchanov says. “Desperate times call for desperate measures.”

Also, by reining in capital projects, “they are trying to protect their dividends for as long as possible” so shareholders don’t bolt, says Stewart Glickman, equity analyst at S&P Capital IQ. Most of the reductions are among short-term projects, Molchanov says. Yet while shale drilling can be turned on and off relatively quickly, ”at some point, the (output) decline is really going to catch up with these companies” when prices rebound, Glickman says.

ExxonMobil managed a profit of $2.8 billion in the fourth quarter, $16.5 billion for the year, as lower earnings from production were offset by its refining business, which enjoys bigger margins as prices fall. But BP posted a quarterly loss of $3.3 billion, and Chevron said last week it lost $588 million during the period, its first quarterly loss in 13 years.

CVS LAUNCHES REBRANDING OF TARGET PHARMACY

Companies will compete for some customers, but deal makes sense for both sides

Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Their corporate logos share colors, their aisles share similar products — and now they’ll share floor space.

Despite the similarities between their businesses, CVS Health CEO Larry Merlo and Target CEO Brian Cornell say they are confident their companies will maintain distinct identities as the first CVS Pharmacy stores located inside Target celebrate a grand opening Wednesday in the Charlotte area.

CVS agreed last June to pay $1.9 billion to acquire the Target Pharmacy business. The deal was completed in December.

Target’s 1,672 pharmacies in 47 states will be rebranded as CVS Pharmacy within six to eight months as CVS-funded renovations are gradually completed.

Pharmacies will remain open during the upgrades. CVS — the largest U.S. drugstore chain with about 9,500 locations — is paying $20 million to $25 million in annual rent for the space.

In a joint interview, Merlo and Cornell told USA TODAY that although their respective red-andwhite logos compete for some customers, the pharmacy deal makes sense.

“As far as the pharmacy experience goes, we are partners,” Merlo said. “Brian and I are very comfortable that we have complementary strengths, brands and, very importantly, cultures.”

For retailers, the store-within-

“As far as the pharmacy experience goes we are partners.

Brian and I are very comfortable that we have complementary strengths, brands and, very importantly, cultures.”

a-store concept is enticing because it can generate extra foot traffic for the lessee — Target, in this case — and extra revenue for the lessor. But there are also risks when competitors tie the knot.

Loyal customers may defect or one or both brand identities can get muddied.

Target wanted to stop running pharmacies because of the increasing complexity of the prescription drug business, higher regulatory hurdles and profitability challenges. And CVS, which got more than 71% of its retail pharmacy revenue in 2014 from the prescription drug counter, is not particularly concerned about

Target Chairman and CEO Brian Cornell, left, and CVS Health President and CEO Larry Merlo

losing sales of candy, makeup and greeting cards to Target.

Cornell said Target customers will benefit from access to CVS drugs and services, while “at the same time it allows us to free up our resources” to focus on “signature categories” such as groceries, baby items and home goods.

“It’s probably best for them to just outsource it,” Forrester Research retail analyst Sucharita Mulpuru said in an interview. “If you can get that foot traffic into the store, then you can get additional add-on purchases.”

Patient records and prescriptions were transitioned from Target to CVS and most insurance plans transferred seamlessly, the companies said. Target Pharmacy’s loyalty program was discontinued, and the companies are encouraging patients to use CVS’ ExtraCare loyalty program.

Target’s 79 in-store clinics, where nurse practitioners offer rapid treatment of basic illnesses, will be rebranded under the CVS Minute Clinic moniker.

Robin Lewis, CEO of retail publication The Robin Report, said similar partnerships — such as Sephora stores inside J.C. Penney department stores — have proved fruitful. Retailers are increasingly likely to consider the store-within-a-store concept as Internet sales grow and companies look to find new uses for existing floor space. But the brands should serve a similar audience.

“You’re not going to find Armani putting his brand into Walmart,” Lewis said in an interview.

“The brands have to be somewhat compatible.”

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

There’s a “growth scare” on Wall Street, and a trio of job reports could shed light on whether economic worries are a scare or something worse.

In a consumer-driven economy — roughly 70% of economic activity is driven by U.S. consumers — jobs are a key to feelings of financial security. And the U.S. employment picture has been a bright spot for the American economy at a time when manufacturing has entered recession.

That’s why Wednesday’s report from payroll processor ADP — which will show how many jobs were created by private employers in January — Thursday’s weekly reading on how many people lined up for unemploy-

ment benefits for the first time, and the key government January jobs report Friday will be closely watched on Wall Street.

Wall Street is expecting the January ADP report to show 195,000 new jobs. Initial jobless claims are expected to come in at 275,000, and the government sees the economy creating roughly 200,000 new jobs in January.

“Investors need to see more signs the economy is stabilizing or improving,” says David Donabedian, chief investment officer of Atlantic Trust Private Wealth Management. “If Friday’s jobs report is a dud (fewer than 100,000 new jobs), this would foster increased worry that a worldwide economic slowdown will tip the U.S. economy (into recession). A strong result — over 200,000 — would be an endorsement of the view that the U.S. consumer is in good shape.”

Cruise ship company hits a rough wave

Q: Is Royal Caribbean Cruises’ stock sunk?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Cruise-ship operator Royal Caribbean is the latest company to get torpedoed by a weak guidance.

Shares of the company dropped $12.82, or 15%, to $71.70 Tuesday after telling investors profit in the current quarter and year would fall short of what analysts were expecting.

The company says it plans to earn 30 cents a share on an adjusted basis in the current quarter, which is 23% lower than what analysts were forecasting, S&P Capital IQ says. For the year, the company is now telling investors to expect it to earn between $5.90 and $6.10 a share.

That’s below the $6.12 a share analysts were calling for.

The company claims it’s not being hurt by concerns of the Zika virus. And it’s important to point out the company’s adjusted profit per share of 94 cents a share in the fourth quarter did top expectations by 2%.

Revenue during the quarter of $1.9 billion was a little light — about 2.5%.

Shares are down 4% the past year.

Analysts remain bullish on Royal Caribbean, rating the stock “outperform” and saying shares could trade for $103.83 a share in 18 months. Long-term growth is expected to be 27% a year. But given how volatile the broad market has become, investors want companies that see clear and smooth sailing ahead.

Chipotle fourth-quarter income falls 44% on health scares Roger Yu

@RogerYu_ USA TODAY

Chipotle Mexican Grill, the embattled burrito restaurant chain, said Tuesday its fourth quarter net income plummeted 44%, marking its worst quarter as a publicly traded company after an E.coli outbreak and other health safety issues drove customers away.

Net income for the Denverbased company totaled $67.9 million vs. $121.2 million a year earlier. Earnings per share for the

three-month period that ended Dec. 31 totaled $2.17, down 43.5% from $3.84 a year ago. Analysts polled by S&P Capital IQ had estimated $1.85 of per-share profit.

Same-store sales fell 14.6% during the quarter, in line with

the company’s estimate updated on Jan. 6. In December, as more news broke about food contamination at Chipotle, same-store sales were down about 30%.

Total revenue for the quarter fell 6.8% to $997.5 million. Analysts polled by S&P Capital IQ had estimated $1 billion in fourth-quarter revenue.

Chipotle has been under investigation since October after an E. coli outbreak sickened more than 50 people in 11 states. A second outbreak of a different strain of E. coli in December affected five people in three states. Health officials also linked a Chipotle loca-

tion in the Boston area in December to a norovirus outbreak that sickened more than 130 Boston College students.

The outbreaks forced Chipotle to temporarily close multiple locations and implement new safety standards and food-handling procedures.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday ended its investigation into the E. coli incidents at Chipotle, saying the outbreaks appear to be over.

“The fourth quarter of 2015 was the most challenging period in Chipotle’s history,” Chipotle chairman and co-CEO Steve Ells

said in a statement. “We are pleased to have this behind us.”

While many burrito fans may be returning, legal troubles are not over. In December 2015, Chipotle was served with a federal grand jury subpoena in connection with a criminal investigation being conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Central District of California and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The subpoena required Chipotle to turn in a broad range of documents related to a restaurant in Simi Valley, Calif., that “experienced an isolated norovirus incident” in August 2015.

There’s something strikingly unusual about Emilia Clarke alongside Sam Claflin in the romantic comedy Me Before You: her disarming smile.

That’s something just not seen with her battle-ready screen alter egos, Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones and Sarah Connor in Terminator Genisys.

“Literally, Daenerys doesn’t smile, Sarah Connor doesn’t smile,” Clarke says. “But here it was like, ‘Can you smile more?

Can you have a good time?’ I’m not trying to kill anyone, no one is trying to kill me. It’s fun.”

In Me Before You (in theaters June 3, with a trailer arriving Wednesday on USATODAY.com), Clarke, 29, plays Louisa Clark, a British small-town working-class girl who loses her cafe job. She’s compelled to take the first available employment, despite being woefully unqualified: caretaking for a quadriplegic.

Her charge turns out to be the upper-class William Traynor (Claflin), who was struck by a motorcycle while crossing the street.

Working-class Louisa (Emilia Clarke) and upper-crust William (Sam Claflin) forge an unlikely love connection in Me Before You. Things start off rocky because of Traynor’s anger and despondence, but Louisa’s effervescence eventually breaks through, and romance blossoms.

Clarke says she devoured Jojo Moyes’ best-selling love story while on the set of Genisys, “with bombs exploding around me.”

She was moved to tears and knew she had to persuade director Thea Sharrock to get the part for the film adaptation.

“Actors cannot invest too much in auditions. It’s too heartbreaking if you don’t get it,” Clarke

says. “But this one I was like, ‘I’m doing it.’ I was madly into it. Every fiber of me felt like someone had written me down.”

Despite her more hard-core screen personalities, Clarke says she’s far more like the goofy, regular-girl Louisa in real life.

“It’s funny with these strong female roles,” she says. “I’m really quite clumsy, say the wrong thing all the time and am awkward at the best of times. My friends and family have seen this other person every single day.”

Me Before You features a

genre-covering swath of British stars, including Doctor Who’s Jenna Coleman (as Louisa’s sister), Harry Potter’s Matthew Lewis (Louisa’s longtime boyfriend) and Game of Thrones’ Charles Dance (Traynor’s father).

Sharrock says the movie captures the tone of Moyes’ novel, with the author writing the screenplay that includes the “heartbreaking” twist of Traynor seeking to end his life in dignity.

After physical roles such as Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games and Philip Swift in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, “Sam literally plays the part with no movement below the neck. All he had really was facial movements,” Sharrock says.

“That was a challenge.”

Clarke says the duo’s chemistry and banter was real, with the two engaging in on-set pranks and bragging about whose action figure would win in battle. (“Obviously, Khaleesi wins all the time,” Clarke says of her GOT Mother of Dragons character. “Dragons trump everything.”)

But not an ounce of blood was drawn, even in a scene where Louisa shaves her charge’s beard.

A razor in the wrong hands can be lethal.

“Sam was actually petrified when we shot that,” Clarke says.

“There was a lot of trust there.

But I didn’t nick him even once.”

AWARDS SEASON

Compiled by Jayme Deerwester

This month’s Academy Awards are more about who won’t take home a golden statue rather than who will.

In the weeks since the nominations were announced, talk in Hollywood has been dominated by the lack of diversity, prompting swift backlash and historic changes within the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Here’s what you need to know about the controversy: Q: WHY THE BACKLASH?

A: For the second year in a row, all 20 nominees in the acting categories are white (which, before 2015, hadn’t happened since 1998). After last year’s omissions, BroadwayBlack.com managing editor April Reign created the Twitter hashtag #OscarsSoWhite, which was revived this year.

Q: WHAT FILMS WERE OVERLOOKED?

A: Creed and Straight Outta Compton picked up a slew of critics’ prizes and guild awards

Q: WHO IS PLANNING TO SKIP THE AWARDS?

A: Honorary Oscar recipient Spike Lee; Will Smith and his wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith; and documentary filmmaker Michael Moore.

but received only one Oscar nomination apiece (for supporting actor Sylvester Stallone and screenwriters Jonathan Herman and Andrea Berloff, respectively, all of whom are white). Beasts of No Nation, which was considered a supporting-actor lock for Idris Elba, was shut out.

Q: HOW DIVERSE HAVE PAST YEARS BEEN?

A: In the Academy Awards’ 88-year history, only 14 black

Q: WHO HAS SPOKEN OUT?

A: Hollywood A-listers George Clooney, Reese Witherspoon, Mark Ruffalo, Lupita Nyong’o and Don Cheadle have called for representation in front of and behind the camera. Among others to support the outcry: President Obama, filmmaker Ava DuVernay , and TV star Viola Davis. Oscar best-actress nominee Charlotte Rampling (45 Years) received blowback after saying “perhaps the black actors did not deserve” nominations. Michael Caine and Julie Delpy got similar criticism for comments downplaying the controversy.

Q: WHAT ARE THE CHANGES?

A: A week after the nominations, the academy’s governing board unanimously voted to double female and minority members by 2020. Voting limits will be imposed for those no longer active in the industry, with exceptions if they have won or been nominated for an Oscar.

Q: WHAT IS THE MAKEUP OF THE ACADEMY?

A: According to a 2012 report by the Los Angeles Times, Oscar voters were 94% Caucasian and 77% male. The numbers are on par with film studio heads, who are 94% white and 100% male, according to the 2015 Hollywood Diversity Report published by the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies at UCLA. Q: WHAT’S NEXT?

A: Although Tyrese Gibson and 50 Cent have called for Chris Rock to boycott, the comedian is still scheduled to emcee. A diverse lineup of presenters has been announced for the ceremony Feb. 28, including Kevin Hart, Kerry Washington, Priyanka Chopra and Byung-hun Lee.

Kansas football recruits to make it official

Self talks up KU-KSU rivalry

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self, who has one scholarship player and three walk-ons from the state of Kansas on his 201516 roster, makes sure his out-of-state Jayhawks know the history of the Sunflower Showdown.

“We’ve got three guys that weren’t here last year,”

By Matt Tait Self said of freshmen Carlmtait@ljworld.com ton Bragg, Cheick Diallo

and Lagerald Vick. “That’s only three. They’ll be educated. We’ll look forward to playing,” he added, referring to today’s 8 p.m., contest against Kansas State in Allen Fieldhouse.

KU, the record books show, has definitely dominated the series.

The Jayhawks, who are 188-93 all time — 23-5 versus KSU in the 13-year Self era — have won 49 of the last 54 meetings and nine straight in Allen.

“I think the K-State game has increased significance obviously since Missouri is not in our league. It’s an important game to a lot of folks. We know it’s a big game to people in the state.

We talked about that today,” Self said Monday.

His No. 7-ranked Jayhawks take a 17-4, 5-3 record into the game compared to unranked KSU’s 13-8, 2-6 mark.

“Those teams are ones that can beat anybody on a

given night,” KU sophomore guard Devonté Graham said.

“We’ve got to keep pushing.

We have to play like it was the Kentucky game (Saturday’s 90-84 overtime win in Allen). We’ve got to work just as hard. You can’t take any teams lightly. We’ve got to come out and do what we do.”

NFL

Cleveland — The Browns have quarterback Johnny Manziel one foot out the door.

The team issued a strong statement Tuesday, condemning Manziel’s actions and pointing to the club releasing him in March.

Manziel’s off-the-field issues have been a problem almost from the day Cleveland drafted the Heisman Trophy winner in the first round in 2014. Last weekend, he was involved in a disturbance with his ex-girlfriend in Dallas that is being investigated by police and the NFL. “We’ve been clear about expectations for our players on and off the field,” said Sashi Brown, the team’s vice president of football operations. “Johnny’s continual involvement in incidents that run counter to those expectations undermines the hard work of his teammates and the reputation of our organization.”

The Browns can release Manziel as early as Monday, the day after the Super Bowl. But salarycap implications point to the move happening March 9, when the league’s new year begins.

Robinson to Panthers: don’t mess up like me San Jose, Calif. — Before the Carolina Panthers went to California for the Super Bowl, team broadcaster Eugene Robinson had a message for the players: Don’t mess up like I did.

Robinson was a Falcons safety in 1999 when he was arrested the night before the Super Bowl for solicitation of a prostitute, while his wife and children were in a nearby hotel. Robinson played in the Super Bowl the following day, but gave up an 80-yard touchdown pass and missed a tackle on a long run as Atlanta lost 34-19 to the Denver Broncos.

“It was just to tell these guys, don’t mess this up,” Robinson said Tuesday. “... I can be a living example — don’t mess this up.”

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said the speech seemed to resonate with players, who gave Robinson a standing ovation.

“I think it is one of the bravest things I have ever seen a guy do,” Rivera said.

NJCAA tournament staying in Hutchinson Hutchinson — A national endof-season basketball tournament that has been played in Hutchinson for more than six decades will be there for 25 more years.

The Hutchinson News reports the National Junior College Athletic Association on Monday announced the annual Division 1 men’s tournament will remain at the Sports Arena until 2041.

Hutchinson has hosted the tournament since 1949 but last year the organization suggested it might move if the aging sports facility wasn’t fixed up.

Local voters approved a .35 percent sales tax increase last April that will fund a $29.5 million renovation of the arena.

Economic development officials say the annual tournament brings about $1.3 million into the community.

“I feel like a lot of us are underrated,” said Tulsa, Okla., cornerback Kyle Mayberry, another three-star prospect in the 2016 class. “Coach Beaty is recruiting academically sound guys with great personalities and, obviously, great football ability and putting those types of players together and having chemistry isn’t going to be hard when you can bond over those things.”

Added Tyriek Starks, a dual-threat quarterback from New Orleans: “I like building my own legacy. I don’t like piggy-backing off of what other people did already. And I feel like I can do that at KU. I feel like we all can.”

Kansas State vs.

Kansas University

KU women junior Jada Brown, who led the Jayhawks with 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting.

Brown also added four rebounds, a block and a steal in 20 minutes.

“It’s been a long time since we had a player that had a really shiny stat line,” said Schneider in praise of Brown. “I thought it was her energy and activity level that really got her into the flow of the game. We felt like we were gonna be able to get some things if we attacked the basket, and Jada did that.”

KU topped the 49-point mark for the first time since Dec. 22, but it was the Jayhawks’ defense that frustrated Iowa State in the early going.

“I thought they really got up into us and made it really hard for us to enter the ball,” ISU coach Bill Fennelly said. “When they set their defense, we really had a hard time in the first half. Luckily we were only down 10 and not worse.”

Schneider said KU’s defensive execution in the first half was precisely what the coaches had hoped it would be. But the combination of Iowa State forcing the tempo and KU coming out flat proved to be deadly in the second half.

Despite a sluggish third quarter, KU did not go down quietly. But while the Jayhawks mounted their comeback by grinding out possessions and scoring tough buckets, Iowa State maintained control thanks to a breakdown by the Kansas defense. Three straight times after Kansas tied the game, ISU answered by reclaiming the lead with an uncontested bucket right at the rim.

IOWA STATE’S MEREDITH BURKHALL, RIGHT, PULLS A REBOUND away from Kansas University’s Jada Brown. The Cyclones defeated the Jayhawks, 63-53, on Tuesday night in Allen Fieldhouse. second this season to the Cyclones, but even though Fennelly’s squad swept Kansas, the veteran ISU coach left Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday with kind words to say about the KU program.

“They’re going to be fine,” Fennelly said. “I think you have to give them a lot of credit.

There’s no way you would’ve known they hadn’t won a conference game the way they competed, and that’s a tribute to the coaches, the kids and the fans.”

Next up, KU heads south to Waco, Texas, where they will face Baylor at 2 p.m. Saturday.

KU — knows it’s a tough task to try to beat a Jayhawks team that has won 35 straight home games and 147 of the last 150.

“Well, there haven’t been many teams who have been successful in there (Allen) except Kansas. They play at such a high level at home. They have such a great crowd there and they feed off that crowd,” said Weber, whose ’Cats have won two straight over Kansas in Manhattan.

“Everyone plays better at home, but they take it to another level. The beginning of the game is really important. You can’t turn it over and let them get easy baskets.

You have to make them earn some things. You have to survive their runs. They are going to have their runs just like anyone does at home,” Weber added.

The ’Cats, who are coming off Saturday’s 69-64 home victory over Mississippi in the Big 12/SEC Challenge, will likely be without freshman point guard Kamau Stokes tonight. He suffered a knee injury while playing just eight minutes against Ole Miss.

“It will be point guard by committee,” Weber said. “Wes (Iwundu, 6-7 junior) has played some point as has Barry (Brown, 6-3 freshman).

Carlbe (Ervin II, 6-3 junior) is going to play. I’m not sure he can play 35 minutes.

“The good thing is that we have had a lot of different people bring the ball up this year, so we have some options.”

Ervin last season was a first-team juco All-American at Connors State College.

“I think it was great for him to play well the other day against Ole Miss,” Weber said.

played eight minutes so he virtually played the entire game and played well. He led us on the ‘Play-Hard Chart’ and made some plays. However, it is an entirely different experience playing at Kansas, so he will have to adjust. You just have to play hard and compete and good things will happen. Our team can’t try to do too much. We just have to make simple basketball plays.”

Self said the Jayhawks face a challenge trying to attack Kansas State’s defense.

The Wildcats, who have led the Big 12 in scoring defense two of the past three seasons (60.4 ppg in 2012-13 and 65.4 ppg in 13-14), currently rank third in the conference in fewest points allowed (66.8).

“Bruce has always gotten his teams to guard,” Self said. “Whatever their conference record is (26), it could be flipped.

They lost to West Virginia in two overtimes (87-83).

“The lost at Texas by a basket (60-57). At Oklahoma, they play well and end up losing by 10 (8676). At Baylor they lose in two overtimes (79-72).

They’ve been right there.

They are fast on the perimeter, young and really guard.” l Mickelson practices some: KU senior forward Hunter Mickelson practiced some on Tuesday and is listed questionable for tonight. l This, that: Weber is 7546 in his fourth season at Kansas State and 388-201 in his 18th season overall. ...

Bishop Seabury’s girls basketball team knew the toughest part of its schedule was approaching with Council Grove on Tuesday.

Facing the fifth-ranked team in Class 3A, the Seahawks struggled on both ends of the court in a 7523 loss at Seabury.

The Braves (14-1) frustrated the Seahawks with their full-court defensive pressure, forcing 30 turnovers. Even when the Braves pulled back their press in the second half, the Seahawks had trouble making passes or even setting up the offense. Only three Seabury players attempted shots — junior Celia TaylorPuckett, senior Regan Zaremba and junior Kayleigh Boos.

“Obviously we haven’t handled pressure well,” Seabury coach Ted Juneau said. “Other teams know it. It’s not like we don’t practice against it, but at the same time, when you

what your mother said: “Good things come to those who wait!”

BUTTERY YEAST ROLLS Start to finish: 6 hours (30 minutes active) Makes 16 rolls

Ingredients: 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/3 cup sugar 2 envelopes instant yeast 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 cup whole milk 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces, plus 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted 2 egg yolks Directions: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Set aside.

In the microwave or a small saucepan over low, heat the milk to 110 F. Add the 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter and stir to combine and melt the butter. Once the butter is completely melted, whisk the egg yolks into the butter-milk mixture. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. Mix well to completely incorporate all ingredients.

The dough will be loose and very sticky.

Once your dough is well combined, place a clean towel over the bowl and set it in a warm spot (such as over a heated oven) for 2 hours. After 2 hours, punch down the dough to deflate it, then knead in the bowl a few times. The dough will be sticky, but resist the urge to add any more flour. Gather all the dough into a nice ball and transfer to an oiled bowl. Cover with the towel and let rise again until doubled, about 2 hours.

Once doubled, portion into roughly sixteen 2-ounce (roughly 2-inch) pieces. Shape by rolling pieces of dough in a ball between your hands and stretching the top under the ball. Place the dough balls on ungreased baking trays. Cover with a towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.

Heat the oven to 325 F. Just before baking, brush the rolls with a bit of the melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove them from the oven, brush liberally with butter, then bake for another 10 minutes. Remove the rolls from the oven and brush once more with butter. Let the rolls rest on the pan for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

SQUASH THEIR HUNGER the vegan way

By Alison Ladman Associated Press

Looking for a vegan main dish that’s robust enough to leave a meat eater satisfied? This stuffed squash dish has you covered.

We start by halving and roasting acorn squash, which have a rich, satisfying flavor that only deepens in the oven. And since the bowllike shape of the squash just begs to be filled, we created a mushroom-farro stuffing spiked with lemon zest and juice. If you don’t mind adding some dairy, crumbled soft goat cheese or feta would be a delicious addition to the stuffing.

Each half is just about right as an entree serving, but they are easily cut into quarters to work as a side dish. And if you want to feed a crowd, the recipe is easily doubled or tripled.

STUFFED ACORN SQUASH Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 4

Ingredients: 2 medium acorn squash Olive oil Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced mixed mushrooms 1 medium yellow onion, diced Matthew Mead/AP Photo

2 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups cooked farro 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Directions: Heat the oven to 400 F. Line a small baking pan (such as a 9-by-9-inch pan) with foil and spritz with cooking spray.

Cut the acorn squash in half from stem to point and scoop out the seeds and membranes. Slice off a small piece of skin from the rounded side of each half so the squash can sit flat with the cut side up. Rub the cut side of each half with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then arrange in the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.

Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan over medium-high, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, or until they begin to brown. Add the onion and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the onions are tender.

Remove from the heat and stir in the farro, parsley, rosemary, thyme, and lemon zest and juice.

When the squash has cooked for 30 minutes, remove it from the oven and spoon the filling into each half.

Return to the oven and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the squash flesh is tender when pierced with a paring knife.
