“There’s got to be a hammer,” he said. “For anybody. I’m not singling them out, but they seem

to be the ones that keep coming up over and over again, saying it doesn’t really apply to us. And I beg to differ with that.”

The bonds that KU issued in January will finance construction of the Central District development project.

Judicial selection proposal rejected

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — The Kansas House on Thursday formally rejected a proposed constitutional amendment to change the way state Supreme Court justices are chosen, and already some political organizations are preparing to make it a campaign issue in the upcoming primary and general elections.

Most notably, groups that oppose abortion said they plan to make it an issue.

hen you cover city government for more than 20 years, you pick up some odd pet peeves along the way. One of mine is when people start talking about how the city’s downtown parking system doesn’t generate enough revenue to even pay for the cost of enforcing the parking system.

Not true, but the thought

I don’t have any opinion on whether the city should raise parking fines in downtown Lawrence.

You can certainly make the argument the fines are low compared with some other communities. You can also argue that shoppers find the idea of paying for parking annoying.

KU

seek legislative approval.

“Today’s amendment is a targeted attack on the University of Kansas,” KU Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs Tim Caboni said in a statement released late Thursday. “For the past few years, Kansas lawmakers have asked us to find new ways to operate without additional state funding. We did exactly that by developing an innovative public-private financing model for our Central District project — a model that enables us to serve Kansas without a single additional dollar from taxpayers — and now lawmakers are punishing us for it.”

Caboni also said earlier this week that Gov. Sam Brownback had urged KU to seek outside funding for new facilities, as it did with the new School of Business building that is now under construction.

But Brownback’s office said it never suggested going as far as KU did by issuing bonds through a Wisconsin public financing authority.

“There is a big difference between funding the School of Business project largely with private donations and using another state’s finance authority to issue more than $326 million in bonds,” said Brownback’s press secretary Eileen Hawley.

KU says the bonds for the Central District project will be repaid with fees generated by the new facilities and savings the university will realize by closing older, less

efficient facilities.

But Rhoades and some other lawmakers say they’re worried that if anything goes wrong with the project, state taxpayers will ultimately be forced to pay for it.

“We are going to be on the hook,” he said. “If they for some reason couldn’t pay for it, we would be on the hook for it.”

Some members of the committee opposed the amendment, including Rep. Amanda Grosserode, R-Lenexa, who said she was concerned about unforeseen consequences.

“I would like to have a hearing before I make a vote on something of such magnitude as this,” she said. “I’m not going to vote for something that I don’t completely know how it’s going to impact the school.”

In his statement, Caboni said the ramifications of the amendment would stretch far and wide.

“In addition to hamstringing KU’s ability to make basic budgeting and financial transactions and serve Kansans, this amendment sends a signal nationally that Kansas is not a state that’s receptive to business and development,” he said.

“While more than 30 states have passed legislation encouraging this type of financing model, Kansas now stands alone in being the only state trying to restrict it.”

The action by the new executive director of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission is being roundly criticized by voting rights activists, who say the “secretive move” will create additional barriers for potential voters, and by one of the agency’s own commissioners, who says it contradicts policy and precedent.

The new instructions were posted on the agency’s website, according to EAC’s executive director Brian Newby, who sent letters dated Jan. 29 to the three states that had requested the change. Under the new rule, any resident in those states who registers to vote using the federal form must show citizenship documentation — such as a birth certificate, naturalization papers or a passport. In other states, no such documentation is needed to register; voters need only sign a sworn statement.

The changes took effect immediately, Newby said, adding that any interested party could request a review from the commission, which is appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate.

That review may very well happen. EAC commissioner Thomas Hicks told The Associated Press that he’s weighing his options so that the commissioners can address the issue. The Democrat posted a blistering statement on the agency’s website this week, and said Thursday that

Newby’s action constitutes a policy change that should have been taken up by the commission and approved by at least three of four commissioners. Currently, there are three sitting members and a vacancy to be filled.

“I guess it is in effect, but I don’t want it to be in effect,” he said. The other commissioners, both Republicans, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Newby took over in November and came from Kansas, whose Republican secretary of state, Kris Kobach, has been a staunch advocate for such citizenship requirements. Kobach also had ap- Kobach pointed Newby to be a county elections commissioner.

Newby defended his decision as a routine administrative action, insisting it was within his authority and that he didn’t look at the decision to add state-specific instructions in the context of the citizenship issue.

“I don’t think there is any discretion that I am given to make a determination on which instructions submitted are OK and which ones aren’t,” Newby said. “And that is the rub here.”

Newby said the move was prompted by a Nov. 17 letter from Kobach’s office requesting the addition of the citizenship documentation requirements to the federal form, and he looked at similar pending requests from Georgia and Alabama.

Hicks acknowledged that the commission was aware Newby was

Culp said she spoke in a radio interview on the Bott Radio Network, a Christian broadcasting group that has 18 affiliates throughout Kansas, urging lawmakers to pass the measure.

Republican lawmakers in particular seemed to be aware of KFL’s position as they stood to give explanations of their votes.

“Regardless of what the governor wants, I cannot in good conscience vote in favor of the federal model of judicial selection that has given us justices that

have imposed and repeatedly upheld Roe v.

Wade and now gay marriage,” said Rep. Don Schroeder, R-Hesston.

“Both of these rulings are morally lacking.”

Reps. Don Hineman, R-Dighton, and Russell Jennings, R-Lakin, gave a joint explanation that was read into the record.

“As a defender of the unborn and a solid pro-life voter, I reject the notion advanced by some that this proposal is about protecting the unborn,” they said. “It is not. My vote today is for separation of powers of

government and preservation of a fair, impartial and independent judiciary.”

Kansans for Life was not the only organization watching the House vote.

Mike O’Neal, president and CEO of the Kansas Chamber, said his organization also supports changing the way justices are selected. And he said alerts were sent out before the House vote notifying members that the Chamber considered it a “key vote,” meaning it would be used as one of several votes to grade how closely each House

Rhoades’ amendment would put a proviso in the state’s budget for the next fiscal year that essentially puts a limit on how much KU can spend out of special revenue funds. Those include funds from student tuition and campus fees, housing fees, parking fees or any other source of revenue except grants and federal funds.

When drafting budgets, lawmakers typically do not put limits on those types of funds because they can vary widely in any given year.

But universities typically do provide estimates of how much they expect to spend from those funds, and the governor includes those estimates in his budget proposal.

The House Appropriations Committee agreed to insert Rhoades’ amendment into the House version of a budget bill. But it still has to be approved by the full House, and it then will have to be negotiated with the Senate and approved by Gov. Sam Brownback before it becomes final.

If that happens, however, KU would be limited to spending only what was included in the governor’s budget recommendation for those funds. That means if KU ever wants to spend more than what was in that estimate, it would have to

“We warned them ahead of time that endorsements would be based on this vote. That’s what we said and that’s what we’ll be doing,” said Mary Kay Culp, state executive director of Kansans for Life, the state’s leading anti-abortion group.

A resolution that would have put the proposed amendment on the November ballot needed a

two-thirds majority, or 84 votes, to pass the House.

It failed on a 68-54 vote, 16 short of the required number.

If approved, it would have done away with the current “merit” selection process, in which a nonpartisan nominating commission screens applicants and sends the names of three candidates to the governor, and replaced that system with one modeled after the federal system in which the governor makes the appointment directly, subject to Senate confirmation.

Because, odds are, there is a lot of tweeting and snapping going on across the screen of your teenager’s smartphone or other device.

Meanwhile, a total of more than 350 positions are vacant at the two mental hospitals, according to the Department for Aging and Disability Services, or about 38 percent of the jobs. Osawatomie is about 45 minutes southwest of the Kansas City area; Larned is in western Kansas.

The extra $3 million also could help the state make up for lost federal funds. A survey critical of the Osawatomie hospital in November prompted the federal government to decertify it, costing the state between $500,000 and $1 million a month in federal funds.

Funding for Kansas public schools is the biggest category of spending in the state, and lawmakers are in the process of creating a new school funding formula. In addition, several significant changes, such as consolidation of the number of school districts, merit pay for teachers and spending more money on instruction, have come up since the Legislature opened its session last month.

In addition to the presentation to legislators, the group has also visited several Kansas colleges or universities to speak with students studying to be teachers. Crenshaw said the group covers various topics, with everyone speaking from their own experience.

“We really just want the pre-service teachers to see that culture in your classroom and relationships are vital, and you can do that through lots of different ways,” she said. “If you have a good relationship with your students, then they are receptive to learning.

They need to know that somebody cares about them.”

“Part of what we try to do is help everyone start learning a little more about what’s going on in the Legislature and advocate for our kids, and ultimately that helps our state,” she said. “Everybody is struggling with limited resources and uncertainty about future resources and having to make cuts, but they’re all working really hard, and everybody’s just trying to figure out how to work smarter, not harder.”

position, the chair of the agency’s board said.

Gary Nelson, 64, resigned because of health issues. The resignation will take effect Feb. 12.

Nelson had retired as a school district superintendent of Lincoln, Kan., before taking over Douglas County Senior Services in September.

“We have been delighted with Gary’s leadership and with his many contributions to the agency over the past four months,” board chair Judy Wright said in a news release. “We respect Gary’s decision because we all realize that his health comes first and he must address it.”

The Douglas County Senior Services board went through 35 applications before announcing Nelson as the new executive director. Wright said the board will start searching for a new director immediately and wants to have someone in place by April 1.

Mother-in-law’s decor sparks family feud Dear Annie: My mother-in-law has a decor that was personalized for her by my husband’s long-term ex-girlfriend.

Every time I go to her house, it’s the first thing I see and it really bothers me. The problem is, I don’t feel I can say anything to her because after all, it’s her house and the decorating was a gift. It’s not like I can tell her, “Hey, get rid of it.”

The second problem is that my mother-inlaw already feels that I’m a “jealous wife” due to our past conversations (which turned into arguments) when she told me about all of the things she caught her son doing with the ex and what a “cute girl” she was. It made me angry, and I said so.

Any suggestions about the house decor?

— Bothered Wife Dear Bothered: Yes. Control your reaction and leave it alone.

You are right that this is not your house and you have no decisionmaking control over what’s inside. Until Mom wants to redecorate, which can be pricey, speaking up about it will only confirm her opinion that you are jealous. And she won’t change anything. She might, in fact, enjoy

Tracing the rise of the King of Pop Music takes center stage in Spike Lee’s biography “Michael Jackson’s Journey From Motown to Off the Wall” (8 p.m., Showtime, TV-14). Too much has been made of Jackson as a celebrity, an oddity, a victim and a tragedy. As the title implies, “Journey” focuses on Jackson’s remarkable growth from the age of 9 to roughly 19, as well as his outsized talent, thirst for inspiration and aweinspiring work ethic.

Motown founder Berry Gordy remembers hours in the sound studio mixing and producing records with 9-year-old Jackson beside him, soaking up knowledge and experience. In an archival clip, Sammy Davis Jr. recalls watching the young performer imitating one of his dance moves, making it his own and making it better after seeing it only once.

Elsewhere, Jackson is seen chatting with dancers Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, acting like a fan but also like a student on the verge of becoming a peer.

Contemporary figures including Lee Daniels, The Weeknd, Pharrell Williams, Kobe Bryant, Misty Copeland, Mark Ronson, John Legend, Questlove and L.A. Reid explain how they were simply staggered by Jackson and how his 1979 album “Off the Wall” influences pop music to this day.

The last third of the film takes a track-by-track approach to “Off the Wall,” a recording where Jackson presented himself as an adult artist breaking out of his child star persona and transcending the music industry’s racial pigeonholing.

A dance record from the tail end of the disco era that also features slow ballads, “Off the Wall” was produced by Quincy Jones, best known for his work in jazz. It has gone on to sell more than 30 million copies and ranks among the great pop albums of all time.

This film is rather wise and affectionate to stop before “Thriller” and the tabloid excesses that followed. It includes a wealth of clips and performances from 1969 to 1979, from “American Bandstand” and “Soul Train” to a great clip of “Omega Man”-era Charlton Heston introducing Jackson at the 1973 Academy Awards, wondering if the 14-year-old was up “after his bedtime.”

Jackson was there to sing the theme song to “Ben.” Tonight’s other highlights O A CEO seeks off-road traction on “Undercover Boss” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG).

O Abbie’s apparent sacrifice leaves the team reeling on “Sleepy Hollow” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

your negative reaction.

So don’t give her the satisfaction.

Your mother-in-law may have made an emotional investment in the ex and isn’t ready to move on and accept that her son chose differently. Instead of silently fuming, try to win her over. Admire some of the decor (it will make her less attached to it as a knife to twist). Tell her how lovely her home is and that the ex did a good job. Ask Mom to help you out the next time you are shopping for a new lamp or arranging pictures on your walls.

You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

EDITORIALS

Positive inaction The failure to move forward on changes to the state’s judicial selection system is one of those times when the Kansas Legislature should be congratulated for what it didn’t do.

T

he failure of the Kansas House to pass a constitutional amendment to change the process for selecting Kansas Supreme Court justices should put that issue to rest for the foreseeable future.

Earlier this week, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt declined to voice an opinion on whether the selection process should be changed but told state legislators the question is “not going away until Kansas voters decide it.” Schmidt’s statement seems to imply that the issue of judicial selection was raised by a groundswell among Kansas residents, when, in fact, it was driven almost entirely by lobbying groups and elected state officials, notably Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, who named it as a priority in this year’s State of the State message.

The fact that the Kansas House couldn’t come close to mustering a twothirds majority on a plan to abolish the Supreme Court Nominating Commission and move Kansas to a “federal” system where justices are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate should settle this issue, at least for this year. A bipartisan group of Kansas legislators don’t think the system needs to be changed, and there is no reason to think that Kansas voters disagree with that assessment.

Under the Kansas system, the nominating commission reviews nominations to fill court vacancies and forwards the names of three qualified candidates to the governor, who must appoint someone from that list. Critics have portrayed the system as undemocratic because five of the nominating commission members are Kansas attorneys chosen by other Kansas attorneys. The expertise and experience the attorneys bring to this process doesn’t seem like a negative, and any bias that might result is offset by several factors.

The other four members of the commission are non-attorneys appointed by the governor, who also makes the final appointment. In addition, justices must stand for retention every six years, giving the voters of the state a direct voice in their continued service on the court.

The system provides an important shield for the state’s judiciary from the political agendas that drive the state’s executive and legislative branches.

Many lawmakers who have spoken in favor of a more political system for judicial appointments admit they are driven by disagreements over specific court rulings. That is a poor basis for such a fundamental change in state government. The courts are intended to be guided only by the laws and constitution of the state, not driven by shifting majority opinion. Legislators and the governor can change those laws, but it’s the duty of the courts to apply those laws in a way that is fair and equitable for all Kansans, not just the political majority.

Some legislators would suggest that the public has been cheated out of an opportunity to vote on amending the Kansas Constitution to change the judicial selection process, but it seems doubtful that the absence of that vote will stir much backlash across Kansas. This issue is unlikely to entirely go away, at least while Brownback is governor, but hopefully Kansans have heard the last of it for this year.

Group seeks justice in police shooting Last week, a group of church friends held a town hall meeting in Brunswick, Ga. Their purpose is embodied in their name: Justice For Caroline Small.

Chances are, you’ve never heard of her.

She was a waitress, a mother of two girls, and a woman with mental health issues who was in and out of drug treatment programs for much of her life until she was killed by police in June of 2010. Her death was every bit as outrageous as those of Oscar Grant, Eric Garner, Walter Scott, Freddie Gray and Tamir Rice, but has received only a fraction of the attention.

Indeed, unless you live in Georgia or North Florida, you probably don’t know her story. And you should.

As told in news reports and a dash cam video, it goes like this: A police officer responds to a call of a woman doing drugs in a parking lot.

When he tells her to shut off the car, she takes off instead. A four-mile, lowspeed chase ensues. It ends when a police car bumps her vehicle, spinning it to a stop.

With one police car sitting nose to nose, another on her passenger side, a utility pole behind her, a ditch on her left and all four tires gone,

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

As a member named Kay Allen told the AJC, this shooting of a 35-year-old white woman ‘changes in some ways the way that you view the police and just thinking they are there to protect you.’”

Small has nowhere to go.

Still, she shifts into reverse and then forward, banging uselessly against the utility pole and the patrol car.

Police yell at her to get out. Instead, she tries again — back against the pole, forward, bumping the car. And Sgt. Corey Sasser and Officer Todd Simpson open fire, tattooing her windshield with .45 caliber rounds.

Afterward, they discuss their marksmanship.

“I hit her right in the face … right on the bridge of the

nose,” says Sasser.

Simpson waves off a former EMT who approaches to render aid. “She’s dead.

I shot her in the head. Her head exploded.”

Small actually died seven days later. Sasser and Simpson were cleared of wrongdoing by a grand jury and by internal affairs. A civil suit was dismissed.

Justice for Caroline Small was formed last year after the Atlanta JournalConstitution and a local ABC News affiliate investigated the shooting and found that police, seeking to protect their own, interfered with a supposedly “independent” probe, while the district attorney deferred to them at every step, essentially paving the way for the grand jury to clear the two officers.

Perhaps most damning: the investigation concludes police tampered with the crime scene and manufactured misleading evidence.

Grand jurors were led to believe Small had room to maneuver her car and could have run the officers down. The dash cam video — search it online for yourself — proves the unarmed woman was hemmed in and posed no immediate threat.

So Justice for Caroline Small is calling for a new investigation of the shoot-

ing and a probe of the police department itself. In a nation that has come to think of the police shooting of unarmed people and the protests thereof as a black thing, they are an anomaly.

Visit JusticeForCaroline. com and you will find, as one told an AJC reporter, “old-time, white, middleclass people.”

As such, they provide a wordless yet eloquent reminder that, although African Americans bear the brunt of our unwillingness to demand accountability for police misbehavior, unchecked power ultimately has no racial loyalties. The refusal to understand that is a dangerous luxury none of us can afford.

As a member named Kay Allen told the AJC, this shooting of a 35-year-old white woman “changes in some ways the way that you view the police and just thinking they are there to protect you. And it’s kind of like, ‘Well, maybe not. Maybe there’s another side to things that we don’t always know about.’”

It is the kind of dawning realization that often precedes enlightenment. And in that sense, Justice For Caroline Small might be a small step toward justice for us all.

How much need?

something like that. It turns out that our financial mess is not the result of flawed policy and then lack of leadership from the governor’s office or a partisan and ineffective legislature.

The problem was poor people all along. We should have guessed. The big effort toward efficiency in government can start with them.

Even though our state’s restrictions on welfare programs are about the strictest in the nation, and calls to the Department for Children and Families often go unanswered, there is room for creative government officials to make requirements tougher. There still are desperate impoverished people who are siphoning off state revenues and, presumably, causing the predicted $200 million deficit for next year.

I also learned today that the statewide Health Home project is to be terminated. This commendable program uses nurses and case managers to work with low income KanCare recipients with certain chronic illnesses.

The goal is to improve patients’ health and ultimately to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of medical services. But isn’t efficiency what our governor wants? I’m confused. Is there a pattern here?

Joe Douglas, Lawrence

To the editor: Yes, the Journal-World is right.

We do need to spend some money to update the county jail. We spend thousands of dollars sending prisoners to other counties, which means they are farther away from families that can help them re-integrate. There are more women in jail. We are more aware of the needs of mentally ill inmates — and there are fewer places to send them for treatment. The standards for safety under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) are new since the facility was built and call for better classification.

But how much of what sort of changes do we need? Seventeen years ago, I don’t think anyone thought such a dramatic increase would be needed in 2017. How much space do we need? Is the size based on the expected population growth of the county, the number of people at risk or some other factors?

And are we spending the dollars as wisely as possible? Of course, we have no choice about laws that require incarceration. Still, we can use alternatives to incarceration whenever practical. We can also look for efficiencies in processing prisoners.

Let us do what we can to avoid needing to double the size of the facility in another 17 years.

the safety of American citizens.

The military is cautious, run by some of the most conservative people in government, but 16 retired generals have lined up to stress climate change as a threat multiplier with potentially huge regional wars from less food and water. Some conservatives might look at threats as financial risk; likely worse than the Great Depression.

Others might use framing of ownership. The Pottery Barn rule: If you break it you pay for it; if you make a mess, you clean it up. Polluters and consumers must pay to clean up the poison for which we are responsible.

A conservative, friendly, revenueneutral carbon fee and dividend is a start.

Some mistakenly identify environmentalism with intent to harm the American economy rather than growing it, while protecting creation for sportsmen, agriculture and our children. Conservatives and environmentalists have a lot in common: love of community, shared ties to the land, faith, intent to leave our children a safe environment and the opportunity to prosper.

Contradicting campaign supporters’ desires, Lynn Jenkins on the House Ways and Means Committee could be hailed as preserving a livable world.

It’s up to conservatives to push their fellows.

the $56,000 deficit that existed in 2014, and you have about a $100,000 hole that needs to be filled.

One point worth noting here is that the city’s parking fund ran a deficit in 2014, but it is budgeted to run a surplus of about $15,000 to $40,000 in 2016. That’s because the City Commission as part of the 2016 budget process removed the parks and recreation landscaping positions from the fund. They were moved to a different part of the city budget.

One other point that I should mention is there is a caveat to all these numbers from the city.

None of the numbers in the city’s parking fund account for the debt payments that have to be made on the city-owned parking garages that have been built downtown.

The city could use parking fines and fees to pay at least some of the debt payments, but it instead chooses to make the debt payments with general tax dollars.

Whether these numbers mean the city should or should not raise its parking fines, I don’t know.

But city officials should be clear about why they are raising the fine, and it is not because the system operates at a loss.

I also don’t know whether the city should start accepting canned goods in lieu of parking fines. It certainly could increase the amount of food that gets to the needy, but it likely will create questions about why the city is choosing that cause over another.

On the issue of paying parking fines with canned food, I mainly just have one question, and it is more of a personal one: What happens when my wife gets a triple coupon on Always Save green beans?

I can tell you what will happen: Stay off the sidewalks, because she is going to park anywhere she pleases.

SENATE DECLARES SELF CLEAN ON ETHICS

SUPER BOWL 50

No disciplinary action by panel for 9 years running Paul Singer and Jenny Ung USA TODAY

The Senate Ethics Committee released its annual report this week, declaring that for the ninth straight year, it imposed no disciplinary sanctions against anyone in 2015. Since 2007, the committee has received 613 allegations of wrongdoing and dismissed more than 90% of them. Only 75 have had even a preliminary investigation.

The total of the committee’s discipline during the nine-year period is a half-dozen letters the committee wrote to senators saying basically, “You should not have done that.” The committee did not issue activity reports before 2007 and did not respond to a request for comment.

The committee’s activity reports indicate that in nearly every case, allegations are dismissed because there are not enough facts to prove wrongdoing (13 of 55 cases last year) or there is no Senate rule governing the alleged activity (36 of 55 cases). In seven cases last year, the Ethics Committee carried out “preliminary inquiries.”

Five of those were dismissed as inadvertent or minor technical violations. None of those cases was made public by the committee.

These results raise “all kinds of red flags,” said Meredith McGehee at the non-partisan Campaign Legal Center. “It begs credulity that there have been no ethics violations worthy of disciplinary sanction since 2007 in the entire Senate. The fact is the Senate Ethics Committee has become the ‘dead letter’ office.”

The lack of public punishments may simply reflect that the committee has not found any violations that rise to that level, said Stanley Brand, an ethics lawyer who has advised the committee and lawmakers under investigation.

“You don’t start out saying we have a quota of members of the Senate that we are going to prosecute,” Brand said. “There has to be a probable cause for every investigation.” Ethics watchdog groups “want every peccadillo to be investigated like a federal crime, and I don’t think that’s the way it should work.”

A coalition of government watchdogs, including the Campaign Legal Center, sent letters to Senate leaders in 2014 urging them to reform the committee and create an independent ethics office modeled after the House Office of Congressional Ethics.

Accusations over contributions fly at Democrats’ debate Clinton, Sanders clash over definition of progressive Susan Page USA TODAY

NASHUA , N. H .

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders tangled in a fierce debate Thursday over the definition of a progressive and the direction of the Democratic Party.

In their first head-to-head debate — just five days before the New Hampshire primary — Clin-

ton accused Sanders of waging “an artful smear” against her by criticizing the contributions Wall Street bankers and others have contributed to her campaign and the super PAC supporting her, challenging him to cite a vote she had changed to advance their interests.

Sanders countered that contributions by powerful interests had corrupted the political system and shaped government policy in countless ways, from the deregulation of financial institutions in the 1990s to the expensive cost of drugs today.

the debate hosted by MSNBC reflected the high stakes and the nearing primary — and the conclusion that both campaigns have enough money and enough support to wage an extended battle for the nomination.

They projected fundamentally

different approaches to what they agreed were mutual goals: Clinton argued for pragmatism. “A progressive is someone who makes progress; that’s what I intend to do,” she said, saying Sanders’ proposals were “just not achievable.”

Sanders called for a “political revolution” that would include “a major change in national priorities” and in the Democratic Party.

The debate was sponsored by MSNBC and the New Hampshire Union Leader.

A Super Bowl dream becomes reality Erik Brady

USA TODAY Sports

When Phil McConkey was a child, he liked to go outside in winter and select a single snowflake. He’d watch it drift tantalizingly in slow motion, tossed by the wind, then he’d dash from here to there and back again to capture the dancing crystal in his mouth.

That’s the moment, frozen in time, that came to him as a football floated in the end zone at Super Bowl XXI, every pebble grain visible as the ball fell to earth like a dream come true.

More on that in a moment.

First, think of this as a story of golden footballs, golden wheels and golden memories.

This fall, McConkey returned to Buffalo’s Canisius High School as part of the NFL’s Super Bowl 50 celebration. Players and head coaches who were on Super Bowl rosters got to present a Wilson Golden Football to their high schools — roughly 3,000 players and coaches from more than 2,000 schools.

McConkey, 58, told the Canisius students to dream big. And he presented himself as living proof that big dreams can be made real.

Turns out he’d dreamed of Super Bowl glory since before it even got the name. He remembers throwing a ball high into the air, pretending he was Buffalo Bills quarterback Jack Kemp, then catching that same ball, pretending he was wide receiver

ALLSPORT VIA GETTY IMAGES

Wide receiver Phil McConkey of the New York Giants celebrates during Super Bowl XXI against the Denver Broncos.

Elbert “Golden Wheels” Dubenion, while diving headlong into snow banks.

He was almost 10 on New Year’s Day 1967, when the twotime American Football League champion Bills played the Kansas City Chiefs in Buffalo for the AFL title and the right to go to the first Super Bowl.

He cried when the Chiefs won.

“That was 49 years ago, and as I sit here today, I can still see Mike Garrett reversing his field

“I remember thinking, ‘This is it. I’m going to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl.’ ” Phil McConkey

and running for the touchdown that clinched it,” McConkey says. “I couldn’t believe it.”

He’d been sure the Bills would win that day, and win again against the Green Bay Packers in the first Super Bowl. The Bills, who have a one in 32 chance every year, have famously never won a Super Bowl, but the little boy with the tear-stained cheeks did grow up to win one.

That had to be more than a one in a million chance because everyone always told him he wasn’t big enough to play football.

He weighed 125 pounds as a Canisius freshman, 145 as a Naval Academy plebe — and 158 with the New York Giants, where he was the first midshipman since Roger Staubach to reach the NFL after a full hitch in the Navy.

“I hadn’t played football in five years,” he says. “I had nothing else lined up. I was chasing the dream.”

One of his old Navy coaches, Steve Belichick, called his son Bill, then defensive coordinator of the Giants, and got McConkey a tryout. Coach Bill Parcells liked his sure-handed toughness, and McConkey made the team.

Fast forward to Super Bowl XXI, 20 years after the AFL title game that made him cry.

McConkey rode the team bus to the Rose Bowl, certain that he’d score.

He returned a punt 25 yards in the third quarter that set up a field goal to give the Giants a 1910 lead over the Denver Broncos.

On the Giants’ next series, quarterback Phil Simms found McConkey wide-open on a flea flicker. He caught the ball and

hightailed it for the end zone.

“I remember thinking, ‘This is it,’ ” McConkey says. “ ‘I’m going to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl.’ ” He got hit at the 4 and somersaulted to the 1 — a 44-yard reception but a yard shy of his dream. He raised his arms in mock frustration. Joe Morris swept in for the TD on the next play.

Then, in the fourth quarter, came a 6-yard end zone pass to tight end Mark Bavaro, his roommate. The ball glanced off Bavaro’s hands, a bank shot in the air. And then …

“I could see it tumbling down to me,” McConkey says, “like a snowflake in the sky.”

He caught it by his fingertips while sliding to his knees, just before it hit the ground. “It was all white noise,” he says. “I was in a cocoon — 100,000 in the stands, 100 million watching on TV — and it was like I was all alone with the ball, in a dreamlike state.”

McConkey hopes the Bills win their own Super Bowl someday; he likens them to a child who disappoints, but you can never stop loving. In the meantime he’ll hold tight to his golden memory of manna from heaven, the TD he always knew would be his.

“All your senses are heightened in that moment,” he says.

“I can still remember the smell of the grass.”

And the taste of a snowflake melting instantly in his mouth.

Brady writes for USA TODAY Sports.

He graduated from Canisius three years before McConkey and covered him in Super Bowl XXI.

get to do this one last time would be to step up and pay a ridiculous price.”

StubHub said the average selling price of $4,879 this year, as of Thursday, was its highest since at least 2007, when the average price sold was $4,003.

A big part of the draw is Newton, the Panthers quarterback and presumptive NFL MVP, dueling Manning, the Broncos quarterback who might be playing the last game of his Hall of Fame career. Lady Gaga is set to belt out the pregame national anthem, around two hours before pop mu-

sic stars Coldplay and Beyoncé turn out the lights at halftime.

Such attractions help resale prices rocket into a different solar system than their face values, which range from $500 to $1,800 for general admission, and up to $3,000 for club seats like those obtained by Fall. Broncos fan, Joe Remington paid about twice face value for lower-level seats but declined to say the price.

“I kind of said, ‘What the heck?

I’d love to go.’ ” he said. “If the Broncos win, I don’t ever need to go to another Super Bowl.”

Only 1,000 tickets, priced at $500 each, are made available to the public through a lottery. The

rest flow from the league and its teams, with a big chunk later ending up in the resale market.

Just don’t be fooled by highlisting prices or the price of a handful of tickets at the extreme end of the sales spectrum, experts say. TiqIQ, an online ticket aggregator, said its highest sold price as of Thursday was $15,150, compared to listed prices that at one point reached $35,000.

“The average ticket price is usually driven up by a handful of higher-priced tickets, balanced with many other tickets closer to the lower-priced end,” said Cameron Papp, spokesperson for StubHub.

Whooping cough threatens teens as vaccine fades Side effects led to safer but less effective shot Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

The protection offered by middle-school whooping cough vaccines fades with each passing year, leaving teens vulnerable to infection as they age, a new study finds.

The shot protects 69% of 11and 12-year-olds in the first year after vaccination, but within four years, just 9% of these children have sufficient protection from the infection, according to a study published Friday in Pediatrics.

The findings help explain why the USA has seen a resurgence of whooping cough despite high vaccination rates, said study co-author Nicola Klein, co-director of Kaiser Permanente’s Vaccine Study Center.

The number of whooping cough cases has climbed steadily since the introduction in the 1990s of a weaker vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recorded 48,277 cases and 20 deaths in 2012 — the most since 1955.

Children receive five doses of whooping cough vaccine by the time they begin kindergarten and receive another booster at age 11 or 12. The CDC recommends that adults ages 19 to 64 get a whooping cough booster and that pregnant women get a booster shot with each pregnancy.

Vaccines have played a vital role in combating whooping cough, or pertussis, which once killed 8,000 Americans a year.

ROBYN BECK, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Public school student Julio Valenzuela, 11, gets a measles, mumps and rubella vaccination at a free immunization clinic for students in Lynwood, Calif., on Aug. 27, 2013.

Whooping cough infections fell from a high of more than 227,000 in 1938, before the vaccine was introduced, to a little more than 1,000 cases in 1976, according to the CDC. Doctors introduced a whooping cough vaccine in the 1990s in response to concern about the older shot’s frightening — although temporary — side effects, which included prolonged crying and fussiness, fevers and sometimes seizures and limp muscles, said Paul Offit, chief of infectious diseases at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Though the new whooping cough shot, called DTaP, is safer

than the old one, it’s clearly less effective, Offit said.

Klein found kids ages 10 to 16 had some of the highest rates of whooping cough during the outbreaks in 2010 and 2014 in California, even though most were vaccinated, according to an analysis of Kaiser Permanente members.

Children this age were especially vulnerable, Klein said, because they had received only the new whooping cough shots. Older teens and young adults had lower rates of infection during the outbreaks, most likely because they had received at least a few doses of the older vaccine.

This generation of kids — who have never had the more effective older shots — will continue to be at higher risk for whooping cough, Klein said. Whooping cough outbreaks could be even larger than those in recent years.

That suggests policymakers should consider alternative vaccination strategies, Klein said. For example, it may make sense to give children a booster shot during a whooping cough outbreak.

Infectious disease specialist William Schaffner said the whooping cough vaccine, though imperfect, is the best way for parents to protect their children. A 2013 study found that unvacci-

nated babies and toddlers were 28 times more likely to develop whooping cough than kids who were fully vaccinated.

Parents should vaccinate their kids as scheduled, in spite of the whooping cough shots’ limitations, said Schaffner, a professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville.

“If we routinely vaccinate all middle-schoolers, they will at least have short-term protection,” Schaffner said. “Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.”

Although Schaffner acknowledged that children need a better vaccine, he said developing one won’t be easy. There’s a lot that scientists don’t understand about whooping cough, including such basic facts as why the bacteria produce the characteristic hacking cough followed by a highpitched intake of breath, he said.

Until a better vaccine comes along, people should focus on preventing deaths from whooping cough, said Offit, who noted that newborns are the most likely to die from the infection. That’s because their tiny airways can easily swell shut. Newborns can’t receive their first whooping cough shot until they’re 2 months old.

Vaccinating pregnant women protects both moms and their babies for the first few months of life. Vaccinating everyone who comes into contact with a newborn, a practice called “cocooning,” provides an invisible wall of protection that can prevent infants from coming in contact with dangerous bacteria, Schaffner said.

Shots against other highly contagious diseases, such as measles, remain very effective over time, Offit said.

At N.H. events, Trump goes local Holds forum, meets business owners David Jackson USA TODAY

EXETER , N. H .

Donald Trump, trying to recover from his loss in Iowa, is hoping to close the deal in New Hampshire by practicing what has long been a key to success in the first-in-the-nation primary: retail politics.

In an unusually crowded schedule Thursday, the New York billionaire took questions at a town hall, met with local business owners and shook hands with members of the Manchester police department.

“You’re going to play such a big role,” Trump told Granite State residents packed into the well of Exeter’s old-style town hall, also noting that he still leads many polls in advance of the Tuesday primary.

During the event, Trump avoided repeating his claim Wednesday that the Iowa winner, Ted Cruz, “stole” Monday’s caucuses by misleading voters — an accusation that continued to draw ridicule from some of his rivals.

“I don’t think it ever helps after you lose an election to ask for a do-over,” Chris Christie told Fox News. “The fact is elections are played, they’re no beanbags, they’re not easy.”

Christie, Trump, and other Republicans continued to crisscross New Hampshire in a race featuring a number of cross-currents. They include the battle between Trump and Cruz, as well as attacks by Christie and Jeb Bush on Marco Rubio, who is hoping to build off the momentum from his strong showing in Iowa.

Trump also planned some of the person-to-person campaigning that has marked the New Hampshire primary for more than a half-century.

The billionaire took questions at the town hall in Exeter, including one from a woman who protested his comments about illegal immigration. Many immigrants “do work no one else wants to do,” the woman said, drawing boos from the pro-Trump crowd.

In a reference to Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, Trump said to the woman, “Who told you to be here, Bernie?”

“I think (Hillary Clinton is) doing everything she needs to do here.”

GOV. HASSAN: CLINTON JUST MIGHT WIN N.H. And she is ‘very confident’ Clinton will be the party’s nominee

CONCORD,

N. H .

Gov. Maggie Hassan, Hillary Clinton’s top supporter in New Hampshire, thinks it’s just possible she’ll be able to repeat her stunning finish in the 2008 primary and defeat an opponent who holds a wide lead going into the campaign’s final days.

“I’ve seen her in lines when people come up and told her they’ve lost a child due to the opioid crisis, and the connection is real,” Hassan told Capital Download when asked about lessons from the campaign eight years ago against Barack Obama.

Then, Clinton’s emotional exchange with a Granite Stater prompted some voters to take a second look. “I think she’s doing everything she needs to do here.”

There’s no question the former secretary of State faces an uphill battle. Five days before the primary, the RealClearPolitics average of recent statewide polls gives Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders a double-digit lead, 56%37.8%. At a breakfast in Manchester on Thursday hosted by

Bloomberg Politics, Robbie Mook, Clinton’s campaign manager, declined to entertain much optimism. “We face some pretty significant headwinds here in New Hampshire,” he cautioned, saying Sanders’ lead had been “durable and consistent.”

In an interview with USA TODAY’s video newsmaker series, Hassan at first declined to predict the primary results but then added: “I do know the people of New Hampshire are seeing the committed, dedicated, strong person” in Clinton who has plans to improve the economy and battle the Islamic State. “People are listening to that and doing what New Hampshire voters always do, which is making up their last minds as they head into the voting booth.”

So she might win?

“Could be,” the governor replied.

Whatever happens in New Hampshire, she said she was “very confident” Clinton ultimately would be the Democratic nominee.

So confident, apparently, that she declined to directly respond when asked whether Sanders’ nomination would imperil Democrats down the ballot, as some Democratic officeholders have

warned. Hassan, 57, a two-term governor, is challenging Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte in one of the year’s marquee Senate races.

Hassan described the appeal of Sanders and the appeal of billionaire businessman Donald Trump in almost identical words. “What they see in Washington is a place just dominated by special interests ... where the concerns of average, everyday people and their priorities just aren’t being heard,” she said when asked to explain Trump’s appeal among Republicans.

And “Sanders has done a good job ... tapping into real frustration. But at the end of the day, you have to do something with that frustration to create change, and that’s where Hillary Clinton’s record is unparalleled,” she said.

Hassan sat down in her office suite in the state Capitol just after delivering the annual State of the State address, much of it devoted to the need to respond to the drug crisis that has been costing the life of one person per day in the Granite State.

“You can’t go anywhere in New Hampshire without finding someone whose life has been impacted by the opioid and heroin crisis,” she told USA TODAY. “It is our most pressing public health and public safety challenge. It affects people from all walks of life. ... And if we don’t continue to address it, stem the tide and reverse it, we’ll see our future shrinking before us.”

IN BRIEF NEARLY 13 MILLION ENROLLED IN ACA PLANS FOR 2016

Nearly 13 million people signed up for health insurance ahead of the Jan. 31 deadline for 2016 on the state and federal exchanges, federal health officials said Thursday.

The numbers represent an increase of 4 million new people enrolled in the 38 states using HealthCare.gov. Of the 9.6 million consumers who got coverage through HealthCare.gov, about 42% were new to the exchange in 2016.

“I’m happy to report it is a success,” Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell said on a press call.

She highlighted that 2.7 million of the newly insured were 18 to 34, which represented more new young enrollees than last year.

One died from her wounds. suggested the holdouts could walk away, but they tried to defuse the crisis quickly last week after Robert “LaVoy” Finicum, a spokesman for the group, was killed in a shootout with the FBI at a police roadblock.

The four remaining protesters, however, dug in and refused to leave despite calls from Ammon Bundy, the jailed leader of the group, to end the tense standoff

at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

A federal grand jury indicted the four remaining protesters and 12 others who defied authorities in connection with the takeover, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday. It charges 16 people with conspiring to prevent federal officers from performing their duties “by force, intimidation and threats.”

Six people were found slain Thursday in a home on the city’s Southwest Side, the latest bloodshed in a city that is reeling after a surge of killings.

Police had few details about the victims, whose bodies were discovered around 1:05 p.m. at the single-family home.

Interim Superintendent John Escalante said that officers went to the home after being asked to conduct a well-being check. The check was requested by someone who was worried because a person who lived in the home had not reported to work, Escalante said.

The victims, which included four men, a woman, and a child, have not been identified. Escalante said the child is believed to be between 10 and 12 years old.

“From outside the residence, (police officers) were able to view what was a body inside,” Escalante said. “They were then able to make entry into this residence.”

Civil rights activist and Black Lives Matter member DeRay Mckesson wants to join the system he has battled to fix, announcing on social media that he will run for mayor of Baltimore.

Mckesson, 30, filed his petition just before the deadline late Wednesday and said he will release details of his policy plans in coming weeks.

Mckesson has developed a reputation for activism driven by social media. He was involved in protests in Ferguson, Mo., after the fatal shooting of black teen Michael Brown by a white police officer in August 2014, and was arrested there during a protest marking the first anniversary of Brown’s death. He also was involved in hometown protests following the April death of Freddie Gray, who died while in the custody of Baltimore police.

The city has struggled to recover from the riots and crime that followed Gray’s death. The police chief was fired and six police officers are facing trial.

“I am not the silver bullet for the challenges of our city — no one individual is,” Mckesson said in a statement linked from his Twitter account. “But together, with the right ideas, the

The Japan-based automaker said late Thursday that certain Honda and Acura vehicles from the 2005 to 2016 model years are being recalled to replace the Takata-manufactured PSDI-5 driver-side front airbag inflators. The decision raises the number of Honda and Acura autos involved in the recalls to 8.51 million vehicles, the company said.

The new tax would be phased in over five years and would apply to both domestic and imported oil.

WITH A SMIRK AND A SMILE, SHKRELI PLEADS THE FIFTH

JOE RAEDLE, GETTY IMAGES

PRODUCTIVITY FELL AT SHARP 3% RATE IN FOURTH QUARTER U.S. productivity fell sharply in the final three months of 2015, closing out a fifth consecutive year of weak gains in worker efficiency. The Labor Department says productivity, the amount of output per hour of work, fell at an annual rate of 3% in the fourth quarter. It was the biggest quarterly decline in nearly two years.

Labor costs rose 4.5% in the fourth quarter but were up a more modest 2.4% for the year.

“This is a per-barrel fee on oil paid for by oil companies,” White House economic adviser Jeff Zients told reporters Thursday. “So they’re the ones paying the fee. We recognize that oil companies would likely be EPA passing along the cost.”

Although the tax is likely to run into political opposition from Republicans, it comes at the most politically expedient time possible: Rockbottom oil prices could make the inevitable increase in gas prices that would follow a tax increase

@adamshell USA TODAY

Given the rocky start to 2016, Wall Street is hoping Corporate America — a big buyer of U.S. stocks in recent years — will resume purchasing its own stock as the quarterly earnings season winds down and the regulatorydriven share-repurchase “blackout” is lifted.

Stock buybacks have been a huge source of buying power for the U.S. stock market in recent years. Companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index spent $1.45 trillion of their own cash to buy back their own stock since the start of 2013, according to

S&P Dow Jones Indices.

Corporate share repurchases have topped $116 billion in 10 consecutive quarters. Third-quarter 2015 buybacks, the most recent data available, totaled $150.6 billion.

That buying power, however, was put on pause at the start of the year as companies are barred from purchasing their own shares in the month leading up to the release of quarterly profit results.

But corporations “appear on track to resume buyback activity soon,” says David Kostin, chief U.S. equity strategist at Goldman Sachs, as nearly 75% of the S&P 500 will have reported their fourth-quarter earnings by close of business Friday.

The resumption of corporate buying, Kostin told clients in a recent report, will provide an “important — and largest — source of

demand for U.S. stocks.”

January is the slowest month of the year for corporate share repurchases, Goldman Sachs says, with just 4% of all buybacks occurring in January.

Kostin believes the lack of corporate buying has contributed to the early-year weakness and amplified volatility in the stock market.

Stocks have been punished by rising fears of a global recession sparked by a slowdown in China, the persistent slide in oil prices, slowing earnings growth in the U.S. and uncertainty about the pace of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes.

A resumption of corporate buying could be just what the stock market needs to steady itself, says Joe Quinlan, chief market strategist at U.S. Trust.

“Share buybacks are typically

Twitter, where he proceeded to retweet messages from several supporters.

Pelted with hostile questions, Shkreli repeatedly recited a prepared statement that he would not testify on the advice of his counsel. He is facing multiple criminal securities charges over allegations he took stock from a previous biotech company to pay off business debts and lied about the investment returns of his former hedge fund.

U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., professed to be flabbergasted at Shkreli’s silence, saying he could testify on those matters without incriminating himself.

“I intend to follow the advice of counsel, not yours,” Shkreli told Gowdy.

After less than an hour, U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the committee, dismissed Shkreli from the hearing since he was refusing to say anything.

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

The big game is Sunday. As odd as it seems, fans of Wall Street superstition might not be rooting for their favorite football team to be the Super Bowl champ.

In 40 of the last 49 Super Bowls, there has been a weird relationship between who wins the game and how the stock market does that year.

Dubbed the Super Bowl Indicator, this basically says that if the NFC team wins, stocks will end the year with a gain. Conversely, an AFC win means stocks end the year in the red.

Rational people know that football and stocks have no connection. Forces such as the economy, corporate earnings, interest NEW YORK

rates and — as this year has made so clear — oil prices determine the direction of the market.

Even Robert Stovall, who first brought the indicator to the public’s attention years ago, admits there is nothing scientific about it, chalking it up to coincidence.

Still, an 81.6% success rate is hard to ignore. Last year the indicator worked again, but just barely. The AFC’s New England Patriots won. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index ended the year down, but its loss was only 0.7% Back to Sunday’s game. Based on the Super Bowl Indicator, stock investors should be pulling for the Carolina Panthers to win.

Oddsmakers have them favored.

But assuming the indicator works again, and considering the stock market’s horrific start to 2016, things are looking pretty good for the Denver Broncos — underdog or not.

Apparel designer may take time to get groove back Q: Is Ralph Lauren out of style?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Ralph Lauren shares are getting tossed out to the curb. The company’s murky outlook makes it a tough sell with investors.

Shares of the apparel designer dropped more than 20% Thursday to about $90 after reporting quarterly revenue of $1.9 billion, which missed expectations by 4%, S&P Capital IQ sayys. The company’s adjusted quarterly profit of $2.27 a share beat expectations, but it’s important to note profit was down nearly 6% from the same period a year ago.

Investors worry about the future. The company said revenue in the current quarter would likely be as low as $1.85 billion, which is down about 1% from the same period a year ago. Shares of Ralph Lauren have dropped 17% over the past year.

Analysts think the company can get its growth back but it’s going to take time.

Revenue in fiscal 2016 is expected to drop 1%, but analysts are calling for 2.2% growth in fiscal 2017. Investors will need to be patient as inventory is cleared out and the company resets.

Wall Street analysts think the stock is a value, even though it’s trading for 18 times trailing earnings, which is slightly more expensive than the market. Analysts have an 18-month price target on the stock of $131.40, which would be 46% potential upside.

Viacom says Dauman to replace Redstone as board chairman Roger Yu

@RogerYu_ USA TODAY

Viacom, the media company that owns Paramount Pictures, MTV and Nickelodeon, said Thursday its board of directors appointed CEO Philippe Dauman as executive chairman to succeed ailing Sumner Redstone, a move that clarifies its succession plans amid pressure from investors.

Redstone, whose health status has been the subject of much speculation, will become chairman emeritus, effectively ending

CRAIG BARRITT, GETTY IMAGES

Sumner Redstone resigned Tuesday.

his operational involvement with the company he has controlled for decades.

Viacom’s decision comes a day after CBS Corp., whose board was chaired by Redstone until Tues-

day, made a similar announcement by naming CEO Les Moonves to replace the 92-year old executive as its chairman of the board.

“Sumner Redstone’s contributions to Viacom and the media industry are legendary,” said William Schwartz, chairman of the governance and nominating committee of Viacom’s board.

“There is no one who loves this company more.”

Dauman’s elevation was approved despite an intimation from Redstone’s daughter, Shari Redstone, that the new chairman should be someone with “an in-

dependent voice” and not a trustee of Sumner Redstone’s family trust. Shari Redstone and Dauman are among the seven members of the trust, according to Variety. Shari Redstone, who’s vice chair of Viacom’s board, is also president of National Amusements, the controlling shareholder of Viacom and CBS. “My father’s Trust states his intention that I succeed him as (non-executive) Chair at CBS and Viacom and also names me as a Trustee after his death,” Shari Redstone said Wednesday. “However, it is my firm belief that whoever may succeed my father as

Chair at each company should be someone who is not a Trustee of my father’s trust or otherwise intertwined in Redstone family matters, but rather a leader with an independent voice.”

Viacom’s board offered Shari Redstone the role of non-executive chairman, but she declined the offer. She will remain in her role as non-executive vice chair.

Shares of Viacom rose 1.5% Thursday to close at $45.34.

“I am gratified by the continued confidence and support of the board of directors and all of my colleagues at Viacom,” said Dauman, Viacom CEO since ’06.

Director: Jason Moore

2 hours, 4 minutes

Maurice White, the founder and leader of the legendary R&B group Earth, Wind & Fire, has died. He was 74. White died at home in Los Angeles on Wednesday, his brother, group bassist Verdine White posted on Facebook. In 2000, just before EW&F was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, White disclosed to Rolling Stone that he had Parkinson’s disease. The band’s many hits included ‘September,’ ‘Shining Star’ and ‘Boogie Wonderland.’ Earth, Wind & Fire won six Grammys; White won seven.

Elton John’s ‘Wonderful Crazy Night’ of the soul “I’ve figured out where I went wrong,” Elton John sings on Looking Up, a characteristically buoyant track on Wonderful Crazy Night (eee out of REVIEW four). But as those ELYSA titles and others on GARDNER John’s new album suggest, he’s not dwelling on mistakes at the moment.

Out Feb. 5 — just in time for Valentine’s Day — Night once again pairs John with producer T-Bone Burnett, his collaborator on 2013’s The Diving Board, a relatively stripped-down, introspective effort widely hailed as a return to form.

Night, which John co-produced, can also be thoughtful and serious-minded, but these songs — crafted with Bernie Taupin, John’s writing partner of nearly 50 years — are resolute, almost defiant, in their emphasis on the positive.

There’s an inspirational feel in much of the material, enhanced by the R&B roots that poke through, sometimes subtle but always solid. “It feels like flying when I see your face,” John sings over soul-infected keyboards and sparkling guitar on Tambourine.

On the stately A Good Heart, horns purr as John pledges, “I’ll be the moon/Inside your eyes.”

This is not the subtlety-bedamned exuberance that has helped sustain John as a live performer and personality, but the contentment of a survivor relishing his good fortune. Since Diving Board was released, John — who will turn 69 in March — has mar-

ried his longtime partner, David Furnish, with whom he has two young children. A curious listener might well perceive a sense of both security and gratitude in songs such as the blissfully nostalgic Wonderful Crazy Night, spiced up by John’s bluesy piano, or Free & Easy, with its still-moonstruck lyrics and lightly baroque arrangement.

There are more driving, muscular tunes such as the guitar-fueled England & America, and effervescent fare such as the crisply MORE MUSIC REVIEWS LIFE.USATODAY.COM

melodic The Open Chord and Guilty Pleasure, a fittingly named bit of jangly pop that eems to tease a lover: “Hold out or still in doubt/What’s it gonna be/Never a chance in a million years/Or you can’t get enough of me?”

Whatever the case, Wonderful Crazy Me has the sound and spirit of a man who’s grown comfortable in his own skin, but is still intent on moving forward. Or as John puts it on Looking Up, “Nowadays I’m thinking that/Life is wasted looking back.”

McGrew agents Kenna LaRue and Tasha Wertin are on a 16 day mission trip in Haiti to help build a school house for Kids Alive – by primarily hauling cinder blocks and setting them. Kids Alive International is a Christ-centered mission dedicated to rescuing orphans and vulnerable children – meeting their spiritual, physical, educational, and emotional needs. Kids Alive rescues these children – one at a time – and enrolls them into one of our Children’s Homes, a Care Center, or School program that is best suited to the care they need.

My fake outrage over Bill Self’s slip

Board game

Fake outrage rages louder than ever in sports, so let me share some phony fury with you. Pretend all the letters are upper case, so you can hear me shout.

I am beside myself that Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self used a slang word in front of the word move in sharing his thoughts during his post-game interview with his shadow, Greg Gurley, regarding Brannen Greene’s dunk with two seconds remaining in Wednesday night’s game. Self was talking to a friend honestly about a play that incensed him and the word slipped out on the radio. Outraged, I tell you, I am outraged.

Manziel allegedly hit ex-girlfriend Cleveland — Johnny Manziel’s ex-girlfriend told police the Cleveland Browns quarterback hit her during an argument last weekend in Texas and said he appeared to be on drugs, according to a police report released Thursday.

The report released by Fort Worth police provides the first details of the altercation that took place Saturday night between Manziel and Colleen Crowley. Manziel is being investigated for a possible assault on Crowley. He has not been arrested.

Crowley told police that Manziel was “aggressive” toward her after they were out with friends at the Zaza Hotel in Dallas. She said he struck her, including once in the left ear, before they drove back to her Fort Worth apartment.

Crowley said Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner from Texas A&M, struck her several times on the trip to Fort Worth. According to the police report, Crowley was “somewhat vague on the details of the assault.”

Crowley said she later fled her apartment and ran to a neighbor’s for help in an attempt to get away from Manziel, who fled the scene on foot.

After Crowley informed police she was concerned for Manziel’s well-being, they used a helicopter to try to locate the 23-yearold. Police also tried calling both Manziel and his parents, who could not be reached. An officer finally contacted Manziel’s father, Paul, who said he had seen his son and that “he was doing fine.”

Big 12 ADs ‘exploring’ championship game

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Big 12 athletic directors gathered on Thursday near Dallas for one of their regularly scheduled meetings and, in reaction to a recent ruling by the NCAA giving the Big 12 a shot at having a conference championship game in football with just 10 members, discussed the conference’s options moving forward.

Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger, who is taking his turn as the chair of the Big 12 ADs, joined Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby in speaking with the media following the meetings, and both presented a picture of a conference still exploring its options but not ready to make major changes.

“We reviewed a typical agenda, where we have other broader issues, and (the talks) were very philosophical in nature, no votes were taken,” Zenger said. “As usual, our room is a very cohesive room, a good group of individuals and, with Bob’s leadership and other conference leadership, I feel very comfortable that, over the next few months, we’ll continue to collect data and review it.”

Two of the biggest issues the Big 12 continues to be tied to include the idea of adding a conference championship game for football and the possibility of expansion beyond 10 members.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR SHEAHON ZENGER who is serving as the chair of the Big 12 ADs this year, said the group discussed a possible championship game and expansion on Thursday but no changes are imminent.

Both Zenger and Bowlsby held their comments close to the vest and it does not appear that anything is imminent in either area.

“We’ve asked (all of our) consultants to provide data by May,” Bowlsby said. “We have firms looking at adding members with and without a conference title game, as well as remaining at 10 members, with and without a title game.

“We know what our options are now regarding a postseason contest. We have a clear picture after two years of the (College Football Playoff) and those were benchmarks and pieces of information that we needed to get before we moved too far down the path. We also have determined that you can get into the CFP with a regular season conference loss and without having

a championship game. I would say we’re right on schedule looking at the various components of our conference (and will) continue to look for opportunities. I feel pretty good about where we’re at right now but we have a long ways to go to have conclusive outcomes on all of the various components.”

Added Zenger: “Our ADs have always said that we enjoy our group of 10 (and) the round-robin (schedule) that we play.

That doesn’t mean you don’t consider new options moving forward....

I’m open to thoughtful discussion about anything, but enjoy what we have right now.”

The presidents and chancellors of the Big 12’s member institutions will meet today, when they, too, will no doubt at least address some of these same topics.

six boards in 25 minutes.

Perry Ellis had five and Jamari Traylor four. KState’s Stephen Hurt had 11 boards, Justin Edwards six and Wesley Iwundu five.

“Once again our 3-man gets no rebounds and doesn’t do anything from a physical standpoint to create anything. Our bigs didn’t rebound. It’s frustrating. The best rebounders are the ones who want the ball. We didn’t go after the ball tough at all,” Self said. l

Self doesn’t suspend Greene: The only thing that bothered Self more than rebounding Wednesday was Brannen Greene’s unsportsmanlike behavior at the end of the game. Greene finished a meaningless dunk with time still on the clock as players for both teams were walking over to the hand-shake line.

“We handled it inhouse,” Self said Thursday, indicating Greene, “was not suspended or anything.” l

Firebirds sweep triangular Free State High’s boys bowling team won its home triangular by 35 pins on Thursday at Royal Crest Lanes, but the Firebirds were in no mood to celebrate.

The Firebirds won their sixth straight meet and it was an afterthought. Disappointment was in the air after they posted their lowest scores of the season — by a long shot.

Only a few lanes down, Free State’s girls bowlers won by 339 pins over runner-up Olathe Northwest with one of their strongest performances of the season.

“Honestly, it was a pretty rough day for all of us, I think,” FSHS senior Matthew Eagle said of the boys’ team. “I don’t know.

We just couldn’t find our groove the whole day.

We still pulled out the win but it’s still a little concerning. On days like this, you just have to move past it.”

Eagle, who said he was sick, led the Firebirds with a 614 three-game series total, which was second overall. Senior Matt Meseke was third with a 590 and junior Cameron Edens finished fifth with a 572.

As a team, the Firebirds were about 400 pins lower than their season average.

“Our spare game was a little off today,” FSHS coach Burton Gepford said. “It was a little bit harder out there on the lanes, but our spares are what is important. We’re

usually pretty good at spares. Today was just an off day.”

Free State was without junior Alex Jimenez, who was out of town but has posted the second-best average on the team this season. The Firebirds refused to let that be an excuse.

Instead, it was just a “discouraging” outing on their home lanes and the victory was a small consolation.

“They are looking at their stats and their stats were down way below average,” Gepford said. “It is a good feeling to know that you had your worst day and still finished first.

With any sport, the end goal is a ‘W’ and they did that today.”

The FSHS girls bowling team was led by senior Gentry Jordan, who bowled a 544 series and took first place overall.

Senior Brianna Burenheide was second with a 530 series and senior Jamie Souders was third with a 526.

“Gentry has been one of our top bowlers ever since Day One she’s been on the team,” Gepford said. “She’s starting to make some changes to strike a little bit more and her score is showing it. I can’t wait to see her continue as the season continues.”

The Firebirds improved throughout each game, knocking down 753 pins in their final game as a team. Jordan, Burenheide, sophomore Morgan Wright and freshman Sydney Jordan all posted scores above 180.

Obviously, they’ve seen highlight videos and we talk about our high goals and high expectations, but it’s a totally different team now, which is exciting.”

A year ago, KU opened with 12 consecutive victories and that stretch elevated the team’s confidence to wild heights.

While a similar start to this season certainly would be welcomed, a new-look pitching staff and still-developing chemistry, with a couple of new faces in new places, has the Jayhawks simply hoping to improve with every game.

“We’ve taken steps forward every single year,” Smith said. “Last year we were in a regional final and this year we’d love to win that regional final. I think that’s our goal no matter who we’ve lost or who we have, and we’re going to work towards that. I think that our veteran players really believe that we can do that. We were close last year. I think that with the influx of new, very talented players we’re going to

All expectations aside, senior infielder Chaley Brickey said one thing about this year’s team had already long been established.

“I’ve never seen our team as close as this season,” she said. “Our season starts next week, and I’ve never seen our team this excited before.”

Last season, Brickey was a big part of a Kansas defense that ranked 11th nationally in fielding percentage, and the hope is that KU’s veterans, along with the team’s fondness for the long ball — sophomore Daniella Chavez is back after a 16-home run freshman season and six different Jayhawks recorded grand slams a year ago — will help ease the team’s young pitching staff into the season.

“Pitching is definitely going to be different,” Smith said. “When you

all doing good,” Gepford said. “We just need to keep working on keeping the team atmosphere positive and keeping our heads up no matter what.”

Knocking down a season-high 2,110 pins, the Firebirds were excited about their progress since the beginning of the season.

Senior Hailey Jump, who broke her right wrist playing softball, rolled a 459 series. She said she practiced left-handed but Thursday was her first time bowling with her right hand after suffering her injury.

“We’ve had some injuries on the team,” Jump said. “There’s people that have been sick. It’s been rough lately, so this is great.”

TEXAS A&M GUARD ALEX CARUSO, RIGHT, is hammered by Vanderbilt’s Jeff Roberson (11). Vanderbilt won, 77-60 on Thursday night in Nashville, Tenn.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Vanderbilt blasts A&M The Associated Press

Top 25 Men Vanderbilt 77, No. 8 Texas A&M 60 Nashville, Tenn. — Vanderbilt was tired of the constant criticism.

So the Commodores took it out on No. 8 Texas A&M as Jeff Roberson scored a career-high 20 points, leading Vanderbilt to an upset of the Aggies for its first win over a ranked team in four years on Thursday night.

“I’m very disappointed that (my players) have had to listen to and hear and probably unnecessarily read a lot of the negativity that’s been said about us and I’m happy they had a night like tonight,” Commodores coach Kevin Stallings said. “Maybe there were some clearing of minds and clearing of hearts this week. We played like a basketball team that was hungry, we played like a basketball team that was together.”

The Commodores created high expectations after starting the season ranked 18th, but they dropped out of the top 25 and lost five of their previous nine games.

Vanderbilt (13-9, 5-4 SEC) had lost its previous 13 games against ranked opponents, including six this season.

Vanderbilt’s last win over a ranked opponent was in 2012 when it upset No. 1 Kentucky in the Southeastern Conference tournament final.

“Just trying to stay engaged,” said Roberson, who hit 8 of 10 from the floor before fouling out with 1:05 left. “I knew if I kept playing hard Wade (Baldwin IV) would find me and things like that.”

Texas A&M (18-4, 7-2) lost for the second time in three games, including a 74-71 defeat at Arkansas on Jan. 27.

Vanderbilt tied a season high with 13 baskets from three-point range.

Four Commodores broke into double figures, including Baldwin with 17 points, Luke Kornet with 14 points, Damian Jones with 13.

Jones posted a doubledouble with 10 rebounds and blocked five shots.

Baldwin dished out eight assists. Kornet grabbed nine rebounds and made four three-pointers.

“We met as a group and kind of regrouped as a team and got some things off our chest that we needed to say and sorted out our problems as a team in a group meeting,” Baldwin said. “That was a great three days of preparation we had in practice and with that

SUPER BOWL 50

.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Which team has the best linebackers?

Santa Clara, Calif. (ap) — The Super Bowl linebackers getting all the attention this week are Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis.

This talented and tenacious twosome is the heart and soul of the Carolina Panthers’ stingy defense. Kuechly is the first player at his position with pick-6s in back-toback playoff games and Davis is playing with a fractured forearm.

Much respect, say the Denver Broncos.

But, also, pshaw!

In their view, the best linebackers in Super Bowl 50 are theirs.

Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware on the outside, Danny Trevathan and Brandon Marshall on the inside.

Between the edge rushers pounding the passer and the “No Fly Zone” secondary locking down receivers, Marshall and Trevathan collected a combined 234 tackles, three interceptions and 13 pass breakups while helping Denver lead the league in defense for the first time in franchise history.

When starting safeties T.J. Ward and Darian Stewart got hurt in the AFC championship game, Marshall and Trevathan found themselves covering Patriots wide receivers on go routes.

Successfully converting all that sideline-tosideline speed into ver-

CAROLINA MIDDLE LINEBACKER LUKE KUECHLY speaks to reporters during Opening Night for Super Bowl 50 Monday in San Jose, Calif. tical velocity kept Tom Brady from burning them deep — and gave them an appreciation for their star-studded secondary.

“I told Chris, ‘Now I know how it feels to be a corner,’” Marshall said.

“Because I was tired as hell after that game.”

“They did a great job,” Harris said. “Having two inside linebackers who can cover, that’s crucial in the NFL now the way the offenses are. I mean, these two cats might be the fastest linebackers in the league. I don’t know if the Panthers have seen anyone faster from sideline to sideline than Danny and Brandon. Those guys are moving.”

They’re tough, too.

Marshall played all season with a broken screw in his right foot which will have to be removed after the Super Bowl.

He’ll also go for an MRI to see if he needs surgery on his right index finger, which he used to poke the football from Kansas City’s Jamaal Charles’ grasp in Week 2, forcing the fumble that Bradley Roby turned into a scoopand-score in the waning seconds.

Trevathan has an appointment with an oral surgeon after the Super Bowl because he’s been missing two molars for two months. He swallowed one and spat out the other in a game at San Diego on Dec. 6 when an

DENVER LINEBACKER BRANDON MARSHALL smiles during a practice Wednesday in Stanford, Calif.

O-lineman drove him into the ground in a pileup.

“Didn’t have my mouthpiece, didn’t have my chinstrap strapped and it came loose,” Trevathan said. “Don’t do that anymore.”

These are bumps and bruises compared to what Marshall and Trevathan went through last offseason.

Trevathan played in just three games in 2014 because of a trio of injuries to his left knee, which he fractured in August and again in October before dislocating it in December, requiring surgery.

Marshall suffered a dreaded Lisfranc ligament injury in his right

foot late in the season and underwent surgery in mid-March, too late for him to have the hardware removed before the 2015 season. The titanium screw broke during training camp, however, causing excruciating pain that he feared would send him to injured reserve in August before it suddenly subsided.

Marshall and Trevathan were rehab partners when Wade Phillips arrived and changed Denver’s 4-3 defensive system to a 3-4 scheme that would put them on the field together when they got healthy.

“We worked hard together and it just made our bond stronger,” Trev-

athan said. “We were pushing each other and both fighting to get back.”

And envisioning greatness.

“I just felt we had good chemistry,” Marshall said. “I saw how hungry he was, how hungry I was and I just know from that, OK, we’re going to be great.”

Now, they’re preparing for the game of their lives — and maybe their last one together, too.

Trevathan is an unrestricted free agent in March and Marshall is a restricted free agent.

“Keeping us together would be gold,” Marshall said.

“This is the Gold Bowl,” Trevathan said.

“I’m trying to make a name here. I know what it means for all of us. You got to cash in to cash out.

It’s way in the back of my mind, but this is the biggest game of my life, so it’s all focused on this game. I know what I need to do to get to the next level, and playing my best in this (game) can help me get to the next level.

“I believe I could fit into any scheme. This game could make or break my contract. But, man, this is the Super Bowl. That’s all this is about, winning the game.”

So, Kuechly and Thomas can keep getting all the love; Marshall and Trevathan will take the Lombardi Trophy.
