Educators feel stress over school bills

FAMILY MEETING

———

Realignment measure stalls, but others still in works

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — After a tumultuous hearing last week, the chairman of the House Education Committee said it’s unlikely any action will be taken on a bill this year that would force the consolidation of more than half of the state’s school districts.

But there are still plenty of other school-related bills pending in the Legislature, including one that would put tighter controls on their ability to issue bonds, and another that would broaden a program that provides some student scholarships to attend private and parochial schools.

And school leaders are saying the sum total of all those proposals is now taking a toll on the morale of their teachers and staffs.

German TV show unites father, daughter for first time

It took more than three decades for Nathan Hughes to realize he’d been cheated.

He knew he had a daughter named Elaine, and he knew she was living in Germany. But that’s about all he knew, and he never dreamed he’d have the

opportunity to meet her.

“It was just so far out of the realm of anything that was possible,” he said.

But an email Hughes received in January changed that. It was from producers of a popular German TV show called “Vermisst,” or “Missing,” which seeks to reunite relatives who have been Please see FAMILY, page 2A

“I went to a meeting of superintendents (Thursday), and we all get to talking together, it almost gets kind of depressing,” said Baldwin City school district Superintendent Paul Dorathy. “The amount of control, the controlling bills that the Legislature feels like they’re needing to do — conLEGISLATURE t r o l l i n g bond issues; controlling consolidation — it just seems like there’s more and more, and they aren’t going to leave it alone.”

Baldwin City is among the school districts that would be forced to merge or consolidate with another district in Douglas County if House Bill 2504 were to pass.

New grant program would give boost to crowd-gathering events

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Quintessential Lawrence events and programs, such as the Free State Festival and Busker Festival, as well as countless other crowd-gathering affairs, will soon have a new potential source of funding if a new grant program gains City Commission approval Tuesday.

Commissioners will look at the proposed operation of the Transient Guest Tax Program, which would use $150,000 tax dollars per year

to fund grants for events and programs that bring visitors to Lawrence and/or create CITY a unique atmosphere for COMMISSION the community. City staff is proposing the City Commission create a seven-member advisory board to select grant recipients during two funding cycles per year.

“We completed a grant program to be able to take those requests for event organizers or people in the community

asked, outside of the city’s budget cycle, to approve funding requests for Lawrence events.

The grant program would provide an avenue for organizers to gain city funding specifically allocated for their use, she said.

The plan for the grant program calls for the sevenmember advisory board to decide twice per year — once in February and once in October — what programs and events to fund. The board would take their recommendations to the City Commission for final approval.

thinking about bringing in an event or program to Lawrence that might need help getting off the ground,” said Megan Gilliland, the city’s spokesperson.

“Those kinds of things that help create the atmosphere and climate for travel, tourism, arts and culture in Lawrence, things like that.”

The money used for the program comes from the transient guest tax fund, which is supported by a 6 percent tax the city collects on all overnight hotel stays in Lawrence.

DEATHS

Schools That’s because Baldwin City has fewer than 1,500 students, the smallest any school district could be, under the bill, in a county that has more than 10,000 students total.

“I’ve had a number of patrons and parents that have contacted me, very concerned about that,” Dorathy said. “I think they’re concerned about losing our identity. I think they’re concerned about losing our schools.

And I think they’re concerned about losing local decision-making on what happens in our schools.”

But Rep. Ron Highland, R-Wamego, who chairs the Education Committee, said after Wednesday’s hearing on the bill that it’s unlikely to go anywhere soon.

“There was so much information presented during the hearing that it’s going to take us some time to filter through that,” Highland said. “A lot of suggestions were made, and some of them were actually very good. … So, for immediate action, no. But we did get a lot out of the hearing.”

But even if the consolidation bill passes — its supporters prefer to call it a “realignment” bill because it only calls for consolidating administration, not schools — district officials said last week that the combination of all the proposals is putting their teachers and staffs on edge.

“I think it’s the perception that there isn’t very much support for public schools in Topeka,”

said Denis Yoder, superintendent of the PerryLecompton school district in Jefferson County.

In Jefferson County, all six school districts would be required to merge under the bill because there are fewer than 10,000 students countywide. The bill also would place caps on the number of central office administrators and support staff its consolidated district would be allowed to employ.

The six districts currently employ about 73 administrators, supervisors and central office workers, Yoder said. Under the bill, that number would be cut down to 16.2 full-time equivalent positions.

“It would be very difficult,” Yoder said when asked if a countywide district could be run effectively with that size of staff. “If our goal as school districts is to provide quality education for our students, it seems like the quality would be very hard to provide.”

The bills being considered this year come on the heels of the most dramatic change in school funding that Kansas has enacted in more than two decades — the decision last year to repeal the school finance formula and replace it for two years with block grants that hold school funding at flat levels while lawmakers devise another formula.

Lawmakers said at the time that the two-year block grants were intended to provide districts with a level of certainty and stability during the transition period. But area superintendents say that’s not the feeling they’re getting.

“No, in fact we’re not certain we can get through the school year without

some type of funding reduction,” Yoder said.

“Well, we are in uncertain times,” Highland said. “We have the block grant. We need to develop the funding formula.

And we have all these other issues; the audit study (from the consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal) that came through recommended all kinds of ways to save money.”

Highland said the Education Committee may choose to go through that audit report first and consider those recommendations before taking on a plan to consolidate districts.

But he said one thing the committee will deal with this year is the bill to put more legislative oversight over school districts’ bonding authority by requiring districts to submit those proposals to an oversight committee for approval before they could qualify for state aid for their bond and interest payments.

“That one is front and center. We will deal with that,” he said.

Rep. Valdenia Winn, D-Kansas City, said she understands why school districts view the Legislature’s actions as disruptive, and she thinks it could have long-term negative consequences for Kansas public schools.

“We’ve already seen the retirement or relocation of teachers, either to different professions or across state lines,” she said. “Missouri has enjoyed our — I’ll call it an attack on teachers, but the proponents would not say they’re doing that.”

“After about a year, I kinda who her father is; that I got the idea that she wasn’t turned out to be sort of going to be back.” successful,” he said.

Hughes said he comes ‘The most wonderful from “kind of a family of thing in the world’ hillbillies,” but he was the Life went on. Hughes first of them to graduate moved to Lawrence in college.

It just so happens world. I wish I could do it that this kind of fairy tale for people,” he said. “If I thing fell from the sky was Bill Gates, that’s what into my lap.”

I would do for a living.”

Hughes said he was never really close to ‘She looks just like her many of his family mem- mother’ Hughes arranged to bers, and he thought meet with producers of Elaine deserved better.

“She deserves to know “Vermisst” for an initial who her grandmother was; interview on Jan. 10 at who her grandfather was; Theatre Lawrence, 4660

Bauer Farm Drive. There, producers told him he’d soon have the chance to meet Elaine.

And on Jan. 12, they did meet. The producers brought Elaine to Burcham Park, at 200 Indiana St. Pieces of ice floated down the Kansas River that day, and temperatures barely rose above freezing.

Elaine Pilsner, 31, of Kalenborn, Germany, didn’t know what to expect — the “Vermisst” producers hadn’t told her they had found her father. But the TV crew captured the moment as three decades of mystery dissolved.

“I’m happy,” Pilsner said. “My life is perfect now.”

Hughes echoed the sentiment, and a newfound fatherly pride visibly filled his eyes as he looked at his only child.

“She looks just like her mother did,” he said.

Father and daughter

had the opportunity to spend a couple of days getting to know each other before Pilsner had to return to Germany.

As people across America geared up for the Super Bowl on Sunday, an audience of 5 million Germans were expected to watch Hughes and Pilsner’s story unfold in the new episode of “Vermisst.”

Hughes said he’s still not sure why Gabriella, who is still living in Germany, never came back to the United States with his daughter.

“I got cheated; frankly, I’m starting to understand that I got cheated,” Hughes said. “… It’s all for the best because (Elaine) had a better life over there than I would’ve been able to give her over here.”

torn apart by fate.

Elaine had contacted the show in hopes that the producers could track down her father, and in just a few days, Hughes would have the opportunity to meet her for the first time.

‘A charming backwoods hick’ Hughes, who now works as a freelance designer with Theatre Lawrence, was born in Greer, S.C. He met his first wife, Gabriella, while he was serving in the Army.

“Evidently I was a charming backwoods hick at 20, and I got a beautiful woman to marry me and come here,” he said.

But when Gabriella got pregnant, she decided to go home to Germany.

“I was kinda too young to do anything; I didn’t know what to do, or that I really needed to do anything,” Hughes said. “…

I think Gabby decided to go back to Germany mostly because her mother was there, and a woman needs the support of her mother to have her first child — as far as I know. I don’t know, I’ve never had one.”

Hughes said he drove Gabriella to the airport in Miami, Fla., where they shared an amicable goodbye.

“I was kind of under the impression at the time that she would be coming back, but she never did,” he said.

Bond issue a threat to budget L

eaders in the Kansas House and Senate are hoping for early passage of two major budget bills this week that could pave the way to an early end to the session. But a host of issues involving state agency borrowing, and particularly Kansas University’s $350 million Central District project, threaten to complicate matters.

The two bills make adjustments to the current, fiscal year 2016 budget as well as the 2017 budget, both of which lawmakers initially adopted last year as part of their relatively new practice of working on two-year budget cycles.

One of the big questions, though, is how harshly some lawmakers will want to punish KU for what they perceive as the university circumventing the Legislature by forming a nonprofit corporation that then used a Wisconsin public finance agency to issue $327 million in bonds.

The House budget committee last week inserted language into its bill that would effectively put a clamp on spending from nearly all of KU’s other revenue streams, such as tuition and fees, student housing payments and a host of other “special revenue” funds that universities are typically given a free hand to manage. And although the Senate hasn’t included such language yet, its Ways and Means Committee has scheduled an informational hearing on the subject at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday.

But KU isn’t the only state institution under scrutiny for finding creative ways to borrow money. Many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are still peeved at Gov. Sam Brownback and the Department of Administration for going through Bank of America to take out a $16.2 million “municipal loan” to build a new power station that sends heating and air conditioning throughout the Capitol area complex, a power station Please see BUDGET, page 4A

Research program teaches kids about finance

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Pinckney Elementary School first-grader Ester Jones learned Sunday that having money in hand can change spending priorities.

Ester was one of 23 first-graders from Kennedy, Pinckney and Schwegler elementary schools who participated in a financial literacy program Sunday at the Lawrence Public Library.

Built around today’s Chinese New Year, the program used the children’s book “Sam and the

Lucky Money” by Karen Chinn to introduce the first-graders to concepts of spending, saving and donating money.

In the story, Sam and his mother take in the sights and sounds of Chinatown on the Chinese New Year. The boy makes the trip with $4 he received from his grandparents for the holiday.

Although tempted by sweets and toys, Sam ultimately decides to give the money to a homeless man.

Barbara Phipps, Kansas University School of Education associate

professor in curriculum and teaching, said Sunday’s program was part of a multi-year “Invest with Kids” cooperative research project of KU’s School of Education, Center for Economic Education and Center for Public Partnerships and Research with the Lawrence school district and Truity Credit Union.

The project — funded through grants from the National Endowment of Financial Education and the Cloud L. Cray

creation. The participants are mostly young women, but also include male students and a range of experiences.

“Obviously, we have a very diverse group, so it goes beyond just being women,” said Aubin Murphy, Free State junior and co-president of the club. “We talk a lot about gender and sexual orientation. We have multiple members of our group who identify as transgender, or don’t associate themselves with a gender. And the same thing with sexuality.”

When it came time to make the choice, Ester instead spent $1 each for cookies and pet food and put $2 away in savings for the summer fun day.

“This way it can grow bigger,” she said of her decision.

In addition to the spending exercise, the students also engaged in activities to teach them about the Chinese New Year, including making dragon masks and learning their Chinese zodiac signs. The day’s biggest treat was reserved for when they left the library. Each family received a free Kindle tablet with a two-year subscription to the eBook content provider EPIC! Phipps said those families in the control group would also receive the tablets next year.

The Kindle was the big draw for Pinckney Elementary first-grader James Whittaker, although his mother, Beth Whittaker, said he has benefited from “Invest with Kids.”

“I think it re-enforces what he is already learning at home,” she said.

“He gets allowance, and we have rules about how he spends it. I think this helps him understand delayed gratification, which isn’t easy for anybody in the first grade.”

Invest Foundation of Kansas City, Mo. — seeks to discover when children begin to develop financial identity. At the invitation of principals and staff of the three schools, the researchers started visiting with 23 kindergartners about basic financial concepts.

The work continued during the students’ firstgrade year — an effort that included Sunday’s program. It will conclude next year with “structured interviews” with the then second-graders and their parents, which will attempt to glean what the students learned from lessons shared during the project’s three years.

To help gauge what the 23 students learned, interviews also will be conducted with a control group of second-graders from the same schools who received no financial lessons, Phipps said.

On Sunday, the 23 children received $4 in play money and were given three choices of how to spend all or part of it.

They could buy cookies, donate money to the Lawrence Humane Society to buy pet food or put it in savings toward a $34 summer fun day at an amusement park.

Rose-Mockry said Steiner will share her own story and also address how to spot domestic abuse, how to make a difference and how to get out of these situations and help others.

The subject of Steiner’s book is the story of her own marriage to a man who gradually became more and more abusive. “(Steiner) had become desensitized to some of the control in the relationship,” Rose-Mockry said. “They got married and the serious abuse escalated, and at one point he actually held a gun to her head.”

Rose-Mockry said Steiner’s talk will also address why victims in domestic relationships choose to stay with their partners.

“I think there’s a real stigma — people often don’t understand, and it’s important to understand that dynamic, both for people who can be of support and people who are in it, because the guilt is tremendous,” RoseMockry said.

Rose-Mockry said she believes it’s important to talk about these issues because too often people remain silent when they should be encouraged to reach out for help.

Grant CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

In September, after lengthy debate, commissioners voted to contribute $60,000 of the $100,000 requested by the Lawrence Arts Center for the 2016 Free State Festival. The request was made outside of the budget cycle, and organizers said that without the full $100,000 — 25 percent of the event’s budget — it was unsure whether the event could move forward.

The Arts Center has since announced the event will be held as planned.

Gilliland pointed to the Free State Festival as a possible future beneficiary of the new grant program.

“The things I’m thinking of are like the downtown Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade, the Busker Fest, Free State Festival — those are the types of events the city has helped sponsor in the past,” she said.

If commissioners agree Tuesday with the proposed operation of the grant program, the city plans to host an informal meeting with organizations that might be interested in funding this year.

“We want to reassure people that once we get

direction on the program, we’ll work with those interested in getting grant applications,” Gilliland said.

The advisory board would be created and appointed at the Feb. 16 City Commission meeting. It would comprise two representatives from the hotel industry, someone from the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission, a board member of eXplore Lawrence, two community members and a city commissioner.

The year’s first round of funding would start immediately, with applications being due March 3. The advisory board would review the applications and make recommendations on March 10, and the City Commission would vote on the recipients March 29.

The second round of funding would begin in September.

In the grant application, organizations will be asked, among other things, to estimate the number of overnight stays the event or program will generate for Lawrence hotels.

It’s recommended that no more than 25 percent of the event’s overall budget be requested.

Bar owners open coffee-roasting business T

he folks that have brought you the popular downtown business The Bourgeois Pig have a new venture, but, no, it doesn’t involve another coffee shop or a Marxist farm animal.

Husband and wife duo Ryan and Amy Pope, though, have started a new coffee roasting business in East Lawrence.

The company has rented production space at 900 New Jersey St. — the former Kansas Key Press building — and recently opened Repetition Coffee.

Repetition roasts about 15 varieties of coffee and currently sells the coffee at The Pig, which the couple continue to own, at The Merc, at Lawrence’s Alchemy Coffee, and a few

Maame Britwum, a Free State senior and member of the club, said the multiple perspectives coming together under the common thread of feminism enhance the discussion.

“Having people from different walks of life, different sexual orientations, different socioeconomic standings, all coming together to talk about one thing they have in common kind of brings together all these different aspects of the same topic that you wouldn’t necessarily think of from your personal side of things,” she said.

Murphy said that the main intention of the

From 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, the company will host an event it calls Treat. It will be a pre-Valentine’s Day “sip and shop” event where folks can sample coffee and buy items from about a dozen food, drink and art vendors that will be on site.

club’s meetings is to share information on topics affecting members and provide a place for discussion, which helps make having those conversations outside of the club easier.

The Young Feminists club at Lawrence High School has gained similar levels of interest.

Started in 2013 with five members, the LHS club also has about 30 regular participants, according to the club’s teacher-sponsor, Shannon Draper.

Some of the main topics addressed by the LHS club this school year have been consent and appropriate romantic or dating interactions, as well as catcalling and street harassment, said Kaitlyn Preut, LHS senior and president of the club. From there, the club started an education campaign, she said.

said their stories,” Preut said. “And then from there we ran a schoolwide anticatcalling campaign. So we had posters all over the school saying (things) like ‘Catcalling is not a compliment’ and encouraging people to speak up when they do see catcalling.”

Last year, the LHS club organized outreach activities for Women’s Week, which members said they plan to do again this year.

“I think that opened the door to people who might not necessarily identify as feminists, but people who are just interested in the discussions that we were having,” said Jordyn Leon, LHS junior and club member.

Patron deserves apology from too-strict librarian Dear Annie: Shortly after I had knee surgery, I went to the library wearing my (prescribed) compression wrap to prevent blood clots. This compression wrap makes an intermittent humming sound. A few minutes after entering, the librarian walked over and asked what the humming noise was. I showed her the compression wrap and said that the medical equipment was prescribed by my surgeon. She then asked me if I could turn it off. I did, but I wasn’t happy about it.

After leaving the library, I turned the compression wrap back on and went to the post office next door. I asked the postal employee if the noise bothered her and she said it was perfectly OK to wear it in the post office.

Tell me, Annie. If a library patron were using an oxygen tank, would the librarian ask the person to turn off the oxygen, which makes more noise than the compression wrap?

Wasn’t she in the wrong to expect me to turn off medical equipment? — Illinois Library Patron Dear Patron: Libraries are supposed to be quiet places (although we get plenty of letters saying otherwise).

Nonetheless, most

Late night show has big goals The only late night talk show hosted by a non-man, “Full Frontal With Samantha Bee” (9:30 p.m., TBS, TV-MA) is getting some help from its friends, premiering on nearly every Turner network, including TNT, Adult Swim, TruTV and HLN. I guess the folks at Turner Classic Movies are too committed to their Oscars-only schedule of movies to join the hive.

Like CBS’ Stephen Colbert, Bee is a veteran of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” and shares that series’ TV news parody approach.

In interviews leading up to tonight’s debut, Bee has said that “Frontal” will avoid the emphasis on “gotcha” stories about mere hypocrisy and focus instead on underreported accounts of injustice.

So in a way, this fake-news comedy approach will pick up the old journalistic goal, “to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.” Will it be funny?

We have at least five ways of finding out tonight.

“Independent Lens” presents “A Ballerina’s Tale” (9 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings), a profile of dancer Misty Copeland and her rise to become the first black female principal dancer with the prestigious American Ballet Theatre (ABT).

Along the way it discusses a number of important issues, including race, culture and the female form. For decades, ABT’s most famous choreographer George Balanchine insisted on a slight female figure that many considered unhealthy, if not anorexic. With the ABT’s choice of Copeland, it is clearly making a pointed statement about a new direction, in the apparent hope of finding a new audience.

Watching this film, one wonders if it’s actually about Copeland or about a major cultural institution patting itself on the back. It’s certainly an interesting discussion of classical artistry in the age of celebrity and “branding.”

It’s also curious that a film about a breakthrough for a black ballet dancer avoids much discussion of the tradition of black ballet companies.

Arthur Mitchell and the prestigious Dance Theatre of Harlem is mentioned once, and only to say that it’s just not up to the level of ABT. As Copeland mentions early on in the film, the dance world can be rather cruel — catty, even.

Tonight’s other highlights

An alien ensnares Kara in a

tangle of fantasy on “Supergirl” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

The gang bonds during an all-nighter on “Superstore” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

Catastrophe looms after an earthquake ruptures a gas line on “Scorpion” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

libraries these days have areas where some conversation and even cellphone use is permitted. Someone probably complained about the noise from your compression wrap, but a piece of medical equipment should be tolerated. We think you deserve an apology.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Momzilla’s Mother,” whose daughter was so overprotective that she monitored which shampoo Grandma could use on her child. You were spot on when you said the granddaughter will eventually bring her mother’s overprotectiveness to an end.

My mother was a Momzilla, and convinced I was in terrible danger unless she supervised every minute of my life. By the time I was 12, I had developed

Islamic State’s threat still growing

EDITORIALS

Bad idea City officials should spend no time or energy investigating plans to allow people to pay their parking tickets with donated food.

I

t’s probably a matter of courtesy for the Lawrence City Commission to at least discuss about any idea proposed by one of its members.

That being said, some ideas just aren’t worth serious consideration. A case in point is Commissioner Matthew Herbert’s suggestion that the city find a way to let people pay their parking tickets with donations of nonperishable food.

Herbert’s heart is in the right place, but this idea is simply unworkable. It would be impossible to create a system that is both verifiable and convenient enough that people would use it — let alone dealing with the administrative hassle it would create for the city.

Herbert said he knew of three cities — Albany, N.Y., Lexington, Ky., and Tallahassee, Fla., — that had instituted such programs on a limited basis close to Christmas and he wanted to see Lawrence try it year round. News reports confirm that all three cities had programs, but only for a month or two as part of amnesty programs for overdue parking fines. (Ten cans of food would earn you a $15 credit on your parking fines in Lexington.) None of the communities attempted to make it an ongoing system.

If commissioners think donating to a local charity would entice people to pay their fines, they could try a short-term program like those in the other cities.

If they want an ongoing program, they could even consider donating a certain percentage of parking fines to a local food bank. Information about the program could be featured prominently on fine envelopes and mailings for overdue fines. The donation would benefit local food banks without creating a new program that adds to the city’s costs and workload.

But, please, don’t try to set up an ongoing system that has people hauling in cases of canned corn to pay their parking tickets. It’s just a bad idea.

Tell Herbert “Thanks, but no thanks” and move on to other, more important business.

Washington — Republican and Democratic presidential candidates should be able to agree on one stark foreign policy reality: The tide hasn’t turned in the war against the Islamic State. In the 18 months that the U.S. has been working to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the group, it has grown to become a global force that can strike targets in Europe, Asia, Africa and the U.S. The self-declared “caliphate” that in June 2014 was localized in Iraq and Syria now has nearly 50 affiliates or supporting groups in 21 countries. It has declared 33 “official provinces” in 11 of those countries.

While it has lost about 25 percent of the territory it held at its peak in Iraq and Syria, it has meanwhile established an international presence, on the ground and in cyberspace.

“Follow ISIS and you will see the huge momentum that the group has harnessed across the globe,” says Rita Katz, co-founder of the SITE Intelligence Group, using a common shorthand for the Islamic State. “The government’s first step in fighting ISIS must be to stop dismissively characterizing the jihadists as a mere gang of guys in pickup trucks. It should be called what it is: a threat to global security.”

President Obama and his advisers have talked in recent weeks of stepping up U.S. actions, but intelligence and military officials say the additional steps are

But that’s a small fraction of the Joint Special Operations Command force that was deployed there a decade ago to deal with a far smaller insurgent threat from al Qaida in Iraq.

What seems to engage Obama most is countering the jihadists’ narrative that this is a war between Islam and the West. He made an eloquent presentation of his case for tolerance in a speech this week at a mosque in Baltimore. But there’s little evidence that this message of outreach to Muslims is checking the Islamic State’s growth.

Libya and Indonesia illustrate the group’s new, farflung reach, and the difficulty for the U.S.-led coalition in containing the growing threat to Europe and Asia.

In Libya, the Islamic State has doubled its presence over the past year to between 5,000 and 6,500 fighters, according to a report Thursday in The New York Times. Opposition forces that might challenge the jihadists are “unreliable, unaccountable, poorly organized and divided by region and tribe,” according to the Times. Similar problems have plagued U.S. efforts to build a strong Sunni opposition in Syria and Iraq.

Secretary of State John Kerry warned last week of the danger to oil-rich areas of Libya: “The last thing in the world you want is a false caliphate with access to billions of dollars of oil revenues.”

But despite several years of growing U.S. concern about Libya, the American response so far has been feeble.

In Indonesia, the Islamic State mounted a Parisstyle terrorist operation Jan. 14. Fighters in Jakarta assaulted a traffic post on a busy downtown street, with bomb blasts occurring in multiple locations near a popular Starbucks. Eight people were killed and more than 20 were wounded.

Asian security officials say the Jakarta attack demonstrates the Islamic State’s appeal in normally quiescent Muslim populations, in such nations as Indonesia, Ma-

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 8, 1916: years “The long negoago tiations which IN 1916 have been underway for a south approach to the University were given a step forward this morning when the city commissioners accepted an offer made

by S. W. Gowans to deed a strip of land at the southeast corner of the campus sufficient to make a street forty feet wide.

The strip will start at the south end of the Gleed road, and run south to join Indiana street.“ — Compiled by Sarah St. John

laysia and the Philippines.

Indeed, the Indonesian affiliate was the first to swear allegiance after Abu Bakr alBaghdadi proclaimed the caliphate in late June 2014 and changed its official name to the Islamic State.

The pace of Islamic State operations, and its propaganda skill, are illustrated by the daily dispatches of its “Al-Bayan” online news service. Each day last week, AlBayan announced attacks in at least six different “wilayats,” or regions, of the selfdeclared state.

The Islamic State brags about its ability to strike America, too, in the opening pages of the latest issue of its slick online magazine, “Dabiq.” Lauding the San Bernardino bombers who “caught America off-guard,” the magazine warned: “As the American-led Crusaders continue waging war against the [caliphate], more and more Muslims continue demonstrating their willingness to sacrifice everything precious to them.”

How should the United States and its allies combat the Islamic State wisely, without getting bogged down in an endless global land war?

That’s the biggest foreign policy issue facing the country. The political discussion so far has been mostly sound bites and speeches, rather than analysis that would lead to sustainable actions. This problem isn’t going away; it’s getting worse.

Can television sitcoms battle bigotry?

So it turns out sitcoms can erase bigotry.

That’s the bottom line of a study recently presented before a conference of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology. And it doesn’t even have to be a particularly good sitcom.

To judge, at least, from a screening of its first two episodes, the Canadian sitcom on which the study is based was earnest, amiable, and about as funny as “Schindler’s List.” Apparently, however, Canadian television viewers liked it well enough. “Little Mosque on the Prairie,” a culture clash show about life at a Muslim worship house in small town Canada, premiered in 2007 and ran for five years. Here in the United States, it’s available on Hulu.

Sohad Murrar, a doctoral candidate in social psychology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, used the show to test whether entertainment media can reduce prejudice. She gathered a representative sampling of white men and women between the ages of 18 and 60, first testing them to establish a baseline measurement of their prejudices. Then they were divided into two groups. One was assigned to watch episodes of “Friends.” The other watched

“

Inclusion changes the society itself. It lessens fears, opens eyes, unsticks hearts, makes people better.

What exclusion otherizes, inclusion normalizes.”

“Little Mosque.”

Afterward, when Murrar again tested the groups for prejudice, she found that while the “Friends” group showed no movement, there was a reduction in anti-Muslim bias among those who had watched “Little Mosque.”

Nor was this a fleeting thing.

Four to six weeks later, the “Little Mosque” group still showed less bigotry.

The study participants, she says, “were identifying with the characters. Just seeing these characters, these Muslims, go through everyday

life situations that they themselves could imagine themselves in or they themselves could relate to … kind of led our participants to feel like, ‘Hey, yeah, that’s something I myself could experience.’”

Prejudice, she notes, derives from the identification of an “in” group and an “out” group and the social distancing of the former from the latter. It’s a process some have dubbed “otherization.”

For all that academia and news media might do to combat that process, entertainment media are uniquely positioned to neutralize it. It is one thing, after all, to read statistics or hear arguments on the humanity and equality of, say, African Americans. It is quite another to have Anthony Anderson in your den every week giving you belly laughs or to root for Denzel Washington shooting it out with bad guys on the big screen.

Murrar’s study is only the latest to quantify this. And mind you, some of us didn’t even need a study to know it. Some of us have always regarded the likes of Sidney Poitier and Diahann Carroll, Ellen DeGeneres and “Will and Grace,” Mary Tyler Moore and “Cagney and Lacey” as the unsung heroes and secret weapons of the move-

ments for African-American, gay and women’s freedom.

Still, Murrar’s study underlines a truth often overlooked when the talk turns, as it has with this year’s snow-white Oscar nominations, to Hollywood’s dubious track record on diversity. Namely, that inclusion is not some enlightened sop to political correctness. Nor is it just good business, though it is that.

Rather. Inclusion changes the society itself. It lessens fears, opens eyes, unsticks hearts, makes people better.

What exclusion otherizes, inclusion normalizes.

In a nation that has seen Islamophobia rise with the inexorability of floodwaters and racial animus spike to levels not seen since Jim Crow, a nation where Holocaust survivors say a leading presidential contender actually reminds them of Hitler, that’s no trivial thing. There is a great power here and those of us who have been too long defined as “other” must use every form of pressure we can to ensure that that power includes us in the circle of what America deems “normal.”

Or else find more constructive uses for our money and our time.

After GOP debate, rivals pile on Rubio Candidates make last push into N.H. primary David M Jackson USA TODAY

NASHUA , N. H . Republican presidential candidates fanned out across New Hampshire on Sunday following a debate that focused on Marco Rubio’s lack of experience, Chris Christie’s aggressive attacks on Rubio, and a relative lack of criticism of frontrunner Donald Trump.

Christie told Fox News Sunday that Rubio’s awkward responses during Saturday night’s debate — including word-for-word recitations of talking points — underscored his argument that the first-term senator from Florida is simply not ready to take on the Democrats and become president.

“You have to be prepared, you have to be experienced, you have to be ready,” the New Jersey governor said, arguing that he has these qualities and Rubio doesn’t.

Marco Rubio meets with supporters in Manchester, N.H.

On the Democratic side, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who leads former secretary of State Hillary Clinton in recent polls, criticized male supporters who often harass women online, the so-called Bernie Bros, while Clinton visited Flint, Mich., where the water supply has been contaminated by lead and which is the scene of a March debate.

Clinton’s husband, former president Bill Clinton, told USA TODAY after an event in Keene, N.H., that it was ironic that her opponents were calling her a member of the establishment after years of label-

ing her a liberal extremist.

In television interviews, Sanders referenced Clinton in condemning the influence of corporate money in campaigns and government.

“I have never impugned Secretary Clinton’s integrity,” Sanders told CBS’ Face The Nation. “I like Secretary Clinton. But we have a corrupt campaign finance system.”

Opponents in both parties circulated video of Rubio repeating his claims about President Obama during the debate, enabling Christie and others to argue that he relies on canned, rehearsed sound-bites and speeches.

Trump avoided most of the heat that faced Rubio, and he told CNN’s State of the Union he is “really happy” with the way the debate came out, and said he would do well in Tuesday’s primary because voters have been turned off by the current political establishment.

“These politicians don’t know what to do,” Trump told CNN. “And that’s why the people are on my side.”

The United Nations Security Council on Sunday unanimously condemned North Korea’s launch of a long-range missile as a violation of U.N. resolutions banning ballistic missile tests and promised “significant” new sanctions.

The Security Council — whose 15 members include the United States, China and Russia — said even though North Korea characterized the rocket test as a satellite launch, it clearly was an effort to develop a ballistic missile and violated four U.N. resolutions dating to 2006.

Sunday’s launch follows North Korea’s widely disputed claim in January to have tested a hydrogen bomb. North Korean rocket and nuclear tests are considered moves toward the North’s ultimate goal of a missile that could hit the U.S. mainland.

Secretary of State John Kerry responded by calling the foreign ministers of South Korea and Japan on Sunday to reaffirm U.S. commitment to the security and defense of both nations and their allies from threats posed by North Korea.

Seoul revealed new discussions with Washington over the deployment of a U.S. missile defense system on the peninsula in reaction to the North Korea test launch, which drew immediate objections from China and Russia.

Yoo Jeh Seung, head of defense planning for South Korean Defense Ministry, said Seoul and Washington will discuss deploying the THAAD missile system, an acronoym for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense.

China, which maintains close ties with North Korea, said deploying an anti-missile system in South Korea would only escalate tensions, the state-run Xinhua News Agency said.

South Korean President Park Geun Hye called the launch an “intolerable provocation.”

North Korean state television said in a special broadcast Sunday that it had placed an observation satellite into orbit.

South Korea’s National Intelligence Service believes the payload of the satellite launched into orbit is about twice that of the 220-pound satellite that North Korea launched into orbit in 2012, according to AP. The estimated range of the missile is 3,400 miles. The distance from North Korea to the West Coast of the United States is 5,800 miles.

Sanders now aims to win over more older voters Many say his ideas may not be realistic Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY

MANCHESTER , N. H .

Sen. Bernie Sanders has already shown he’s a hit with young voters, but the 74year-old Vermont independent will have to work to win over his contemporaries.

Iowa caucus entrance polls show Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton was heavily favored by the 45-and-older set.

And in New Hampshire, where Sanders is favored to win Tuesday’s primary, Clinton supporters in that voter-rich age range say Sanders wouldn’t be able to make good on his “pie in the sky” promises if elected. They’re more impressed with Clinton’s realism and foreign affairs experience.

They also like the former secretary of State’s “establishment” connections.

“He’s a nice person who has a lot of good ideas, but I don’t think they’re achievable,” Diane Zito, 75, a retired elementary school teacher from Bedford, N.H., and a Clinton volunteer, said of Sand-

ers. “Hillary is more substantive, she’s more realistic.”

Sanders says he’s surprised he doesn’t have stronger support from seniors, because there’s “no-

body in the Senate who has fought harder” for them.

He long has opposed efforts to cut or slow the growth of Social Security benefits and has introduced legislation to expand benefits by lifting the cap on taxable income above $250,000 a year.

He also has introduced legislation that would allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices and let people import lower-cost prescriptions from Canada.

His campaign has worked hard to draw young people and firsttime voters into the political process. In Iowa, Sanders bested Clinton by a stunning 84%-14%

among 17- to 29-year-olds, according to The New York Times entrance polls. Clinton topped Sanders 69%-26% among those 65 and older, polls showed.

Sanders’ campaign aims to expand his appeal to seniors by reminding them of his positions and record. He plans to hold more meetings with seniors and do more targeted ads ahead of March 1 Democratic primaries in 11 states. “We think we’re going to have a much bigger target universe in terms of voters,” said Tad Devine, Sanders’ senior media adviser. “We think seniors are going to be a big part of that.”

VOICES

The rise and fall of Rand Paul’s candidacy James R. Carroll

Special for USA TODAY

WASHINGTON On Jan. 5, 2011, the day Rand Paul was sworn in as a United States senator, he already was a star.

Well-wishers crowded a hallway and reception room in the U.S. Capitol. Journalists were everywhere. In fact, the Kentucky Republican already had been on network television that morning, broadening his already expanding national image as a new figure in American politics.

I was the Washington correspondent for The Courier-Journal of Louisville, so Paul’s arrival in the Senate that January day was the start of my regular exposure to him — and the beginning of a years-long chronicle of a man in a hurry to make his mark.

Full disclosure: Our relationship was sometimes bumpy.

That’s not a journalist’s brag, just a reality every reporter deals with when he or she writes one thing and the subject of the piece thinks the story should have said something else — or should never have been written in the first place. But Paul, who on Wednesday dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination, also was gracious and kind of old-school: He was one of the very few politicians I covered who sent me handwritten notes. I got the im-

pression that, pleased or peeved, Paul read his clips. All of them.

No wonder. There was little doubt that the junior senator from Kentucky intended to run for the White House right away, and his unfolding travel schedule — to Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, etc. — synced up perfectly with the 2016 caucus and primary calendar. Not for nothing was he traipsing through New Hampshire, me trailing him, mere months after the end of 2012 presidential campaign.

The “what’s your plan?” question became a game. At first, Paul would demur about his intentions. But as the months went on, and the travel went on, and the speeches before national audiences and countless TV hits piled up, questions about ’16 often drew a smile or a wink, even a chuckle, from the senator.

Paul had a capacity to surprise — his marathon Senate filibuster on the Patriot Act comes to mind.

He had an ability to frame major issues in unique ways — for example, warning of the constitutional threats of government surveillance excesses in the war on terror. And he had an uncanny knack for embracing social media, from Snapchat to Twitter, the latter a platform for his annual Festivus “airing of grievances” that even made fun of his unruly hair. The combination of gravitas and hipster swagger earned him credibility, not just in the media, but in the broader political world. In October 2014, Time magazine put him on its cover as “the most in-

Rand Paul waves as he takes the stage at the start of the Republican presidential debate Dec. 15 in Las Vegas. teresting man in politics.”

The irony is that once Paul actually became a presidential candidate, he became less interesting, at least to a large swath of the Republican Party. He just couldn’t catch on. The Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics Iowa Poll just before last week’s caucuses showed 63% of likely GOP caucusgoers had no enthusiasm for Paul as the party nominee.

From an ideological standpoint, Paul was straddling a Venn diagram of three circles with minimal overlap: traditional Republicans, Tea Party Republicans and Libertarians. Paul’s calls for a more inclusive party, to “bring together different factions” of the GOP, could not bridge essential differences among such disparate

groups.

Paul was also a victim of bad timing. His insistence on limits to government surveillance, a less aggressive military posture and a less interventionist foreign policy ran smack into the rise of the Islamic State. Polls before the Iowa caucuses showed terrorism was either the top or among the top concerns of Republicans. When a December survey by CNN/ORC international asked which candidate would do the best job handling ISIS, 2% of likely GOP caucusgoers named Paul.

Most important, the Kentuckian failed to find a way to engage effectively with the rampaging elephant in the room: Donald Trump. Indeed, Trump’s durability in the 2016 race in the face of

his bombastic rhetoric, or maybe because of it, consumed so much space on the stage, on the tube, everywhere, that Paul never got much of a chance to reintroduce himself to voters.

Paul’s wobbling around at 5% or less in the polls for months hurt his fundraising, which in turn meant he could not make the necessary radio and television ads to raise his profile and standing in the vast GOP field.

Ultimately, getting assigned to the “kids’ table” at one of the national debates signaled it was time for Paul to switch off the lights.

The undercard was a devilishly nasty way of telling a national audience, “These people are not serious candidates.”

Paul was, and is, serious. Perhaps too much so. On the debate stage and on the trail, he really did not appear to be having much fun.

There were more deadpan stares on Paul’s face than smiles.

I hope I am wrong. Perhaps he was smiling inside.

I have covered a lot of presidential campaigns over the years.

Voters like candidates who show a little of their humanity, some joy and a sense of humor. Those qualities are not guaranteed to bring electoral success, but they can lead to other things, like hope and inspiration. We could use more of that in this campaign, which has been so much about fear and anger.

N.H. HOSTS ONE OF 9 KEY SENATE RACES THAT WILL DETERMINE PARTY CONTROL Presidential race isn’t the only political game in these states

Erin Kelly and Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY

The presidential race is not the only big election fight in New Hampshire this year.

The Granite State also is home to one of the most hotly contested Senate races in the nation, a battle between Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte and her Democratic challenger, Gov. Maggie Hassan.

It is one of nine races that will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate when the next president is sworn into office in 2017, and whether that president will be able to push his or her agenda through Congress.

“Democrats have at least a 50% chance of taking the Senate from Republicans,” said Jack Pitney, a professor of American politics at Claremont McKenna College in California. “The outcome is going to depend in large part on the dynamics of the presidential race.”

If Republicans nominate Donald Trump for the presidency, it would help boost Democratic turnout, Pitney predicted. He said Trump’s rhetoric has turned off Latino voters, women and other key segments of the Democratic base. Trump famously referred to Mexican immigrants who illegally cross the U.S. border as mostly murderers and rapists.

“Trump would help the Democrats because of all the people he has insulted,” Pitney said.

In the swing state of New Hampshire, Ayotte is counting on her personal appeal to sway voters of both parties, no matter who the presidential candidates are.

“My personal experiences with Kelly Ayotte are so positive, and she has been such a stand-up legislator and provider of constituent services that she absolutely has my vote for almost any office she would run for,” said 57-yearold Keith Howard, a registered Democrat, while eating dessert at the Red Arrow Diner in Manchester. “I can disagree with Kelly on almost every political issue while knowing that she is a standup woman. In a real sense, I will be voting for the person and not the positions.”

On the flip side, Hassan could benefit from the passion of young liberal voters such as Claire Kunzler, a 26-year-old college student from Keene, N.H., who is supporting Bernie Sanders in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Kunzler acknowledges she hasn’t paid a lot of attention to the Senate race because her focus has been on the presidential contest. But she said she is an issuesvoter who cares about abortion rights, supporting Planned Parenthood, and supporting gay marriage. Ayotte has voted to defund Planned Parenthood while Hassan has defended the group.

“I definitely would not vote for a Republican,” Kunzler said.

“There are too many social issues that are at stake, especially for my generation.”

Across the USA, Republican senators are more vulnerable than Democrats in 2016 in part because more are up for re-election. Of the 34 Senate seats in play this year, 24 are held by Republicans and 10 by Democrats.

The second major challenge for Republicans is that many of those GOP seats are in states that voted for President Obama in 2008 or 2012.

Republicans currently hold a 54-46 advantage in the Senate, meaning Democrats must hold onto all their seats and win five seats from the GOP. Trump’s nomination would not be the only potential problem

for Senate Republicans. A conservative ideological hardliner such as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, also could raise Democratic turnout on Election Day, said Jennifer Duffy, a senior editor for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

If Republican primary voters choose a more mainstream nominee such as Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, or Govs. John Kasich of Ohio or Chris Christie of New Jersey, “then I think the playing field is pretty level” for both parties in the Senate races, Duffy said, assuming Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic nomination.

Here’s a look at this year’s nine key Senate races:

ILLINOIS

Republican Sen. Mark Kirk won with just 48% of the vote in 2010 and is considered the most endangered incumbent in the Senate as he seeks re-election in a state that leans heavily Democratic. He is likely to face Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth in a race ranked a “tossup” by the non-partisan Cook Political Report and a “tossup/tilt Democrat” by the non-partisan Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report. Kirk

NEW HAMPSHIRE

Ayotte faces Hassan in one of the most competitive matchups in the nation. Abortion rights is expected to be a big issue in the race, which is considered a tossup by most analysts.

OHIO

Republican Sen. Rob Portman faces a challenge in this swing state from former Democratic governor Ted Strickland. Both the Cook Political Report and the Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report give Portman a slight edge, ranking the race as “leans Republican.” Portman and Strickland both served in the House.

Portman also was U.S. trade representative and head of the Office of Management and Budget in the administration of former President George W. Bush.

Strickland is a former minister who ran a Methodist children’s home.

GOP Sen. Pat Toomey won his seat in 2010 with 51% of the vote.

He will face one of three challengers who are vying for the Democratic nomination in the swing state. The race is ranked as “leans Republican” by the Cook Political Report and as “tossup/ tilt Republican” by the Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report.

NEVADA

The retirement of veteran Democratic leader Harry Reid has left his Senate seat up for grabs. Republican Rep. Joe Heck will face Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto, the state’s former attorney general. Analysts consider the race a tossup. Heck is a physician who serves as a brigadier general in the U.S. Army Reserves Medical Corps. Cortez Masto served two terms as attorney general, focusing on cracking down on the illegal manufacture of methamphetamines.

FLORIDA

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio is not seeking re-election, opting to compete for the GOP nomination for president instead. Rubio’s departure has opened up an opportunity for Democrats, and the race is now considered a tossup.

The primary election is in late August.

COLORADO

Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet won re-election to a second term in 2010 with just 48% of the vote, making him a target for Republican challengers once again in this swing state. More than a halfdozen Republicans are poised to seek the nomination in the June 28 primary.

WISCONSIN

First-term Republican Sen. Ron Johnson faces former Democratic senator Russ Feingold in a replay of the 2010 race, which Johnson won by 5 percentage points. Johnson is chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, but polls so far have shown Feingold leading. Analysts call the race a tossup.

NORTH CAROLINA

GOP Sen. Richard Burr, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is seeking a third term.

Democrats cite Burr’s weak approval ratings, but they failed to convince former senator Kay Hagan or U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx to challenge him. Both the Cook Political Report and the Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report rate the race as “leans Republican.”

Chicago cop sues estate of the teen he shot

TURKEY AT CAPACITY AS REFUGEES FLEE AIRSTRIKES

Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

CHICAGO A Chicago police officer who fatally shot a 19-year-old college student and accidentally killed his 55-year-old neighbor has filed a lawsuit against the teen’s estate seeking emotional and punitive damages.

The counterclaim filed by officer Robert Rialmo says that student Quintonio LeGrier acted in a “criminal ... malicious and wanton manner” leading to the shooting that has caused “extreme emotional trauma” for the policeman.

The Dec. 26 shooting deaths of LeGrier and Bettie Jones added to tension in this city that was reeling from the release of a police video in late November that showed a white officer, Jason Van Dyke, fatally shoot a black teen, Laquan McDonald, 16 times.

The counterclaim filed by Rialmo in Cook County Circuit Court on Friday offers the first public account of the incident by the police officer.

Shortly before Rialmo and other officers arrived on the scene, responding to a domestic disturbance involving LeGrier, LeGrier’s father asked Jones, his downstairs tenant, to be on the lookout for police officers and let them into the building when they arrived, according to the families.

According to Rialmo’s counterclaim, Jones answered the front door and told him the disturbance was upstairs. The counterclaim says Rialmo stepped into the foyer as Jones walked away and could hear someone charging down the staircase.

Rialmo says LeGrier took a full swing with a baseball bat that missed his head by just inches.

Rialmo said he backed away to the top step of the front porch and repeatedly yelled at LeGrier to drop the bat, but the teen continued to move toward him, swung the bat and just missed striking the officer.

The lawsuit argues that Rialmo believed that if he did not use deadly force, LeGrier would have killed him. Rialmo drew his handgun and fired eight times at LeGrier, striking him six times. The officer says LeGrier and the building blocked his view of Jones, who was still in the front doorway. The fourth round that Rialmo fired passed through LeGrier and struck Jones, according to the lawsuit.

The families of LeGrier and Jones filed separate lawsuits against the city last month.

The Turkey/Syria border crossing at Kilis is under pressure to reopen as refugees flee fighting in Aleppo.

Some border gates now closed to Syrians Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

With Russian airstrikes intensifying on the Syrian-rebel stronghold of Aleppo, neighboring Turkey said Sunday it is at capacity to absorb refugees flooding into the country.

Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus told CNN-Turk television that Turkey, which is hosting 2.5 million Syrians, will continue to let in refugees fleeing the war in Syria. But the border gate at Oncupinar, opposite the Bab-al-Salameh crossing in Syria, remained closed as tens of thousands of Syrians have fled from what had been a rebel stronghold.

“At the moment, we are admitting some, and are trying to keep others there by providing them with every kind of humanitarian support,” said Kurtulmus, adding that 15,000 Syrian refugees were admitted into Turkey in recent days. “We are not in a position to tell them not to come. If we do, we would be abandoning them to their deaths.”

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said airstrikes believed to be from Russian aircraft hit villages north of Aleppo on Sunday. Russian intervention on behalf of Syria President Bashar Assad’s regime has helped put Aleppo on the precipice of falling from rebel control.

The Syrian army has almost fully encircled Aleppo preparing the way for a blockade, the Associated Press reports.

Retaking Aleppo, a key commercial center in Syria, would be a critical victory for the regime and the latest in a series of setbacks for opposition forces.

Russia says it began the airstrikes in Syria in September to combat the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, but the

People walk to a temporary housing complex near the border gate in Kilis, Turkey. “We are providing them with humanitarian support,” said Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus.

Pentagon says the vast majority of the airstrikes have targeted moderate groups that oppose Assad.

The bombardment of Aleppo has undermined recent efforts at peace talks, the Obama administration and allies say. Talks last week to end the war fizzled out in Geneva and are expected to resume later this month. Regime successes have made prospects for a brokered political solution even more remote, since Assad would not be encouraged to make concessions.

Pope Francis on Sunday expressed concern about the deteriorating situation in Syria and called on the international community to revive negotiations to end the nearly 5-year-old war.

“I am following with strong worry the dramatic fate of the civilian population caught up in the violent combat in Syria and forced to abandon everything to flee the horrors of the war,” Francis told a crowd in St. Peter’s Square.

The European Union on Saturday called on Turkey to open its borders. EU nations have committed $3.3 billion to assist refugees fleeing the war, part of an effort aimed at providing humanitarian aid to refugees while trying to prevent migrants from trying to make their way to Greece and then Europe.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates that 40,000 people already have been displaced by the ongoing fighting in Aleppo. Turkey said the country is caring for as many as 35,000 people from the Syrian city of Azaz, near the Turkish border, who flooded the area in a space of 48 hours.

“This number is likely to increase in the coming days,” Fadi Hajjar, a Syrian activist with the Aleppo Media Center, told Al Jazeera on Sunday. “Some villages in Aleppo have been completely emptied of people.”

Meanwhile, a senior United Arab Emirates government official said Sunday that his country is prepared to send ground troops to Syria to fight Islamic State militants as part of an international coalition, according to the AP. “We have been frustrated at the slow pace of confronting Daesh,” said Anwar Gargash, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State.

The pledge from the UAE comes after Saudi Arabia said it is ready to deploy ground forces if leaders of the U.S.-led coalition fighting the group call for it.

The death toll from the magnitude-6.4 earthquake that struck Taiwan climbed to at least 32 people Sunday, and more than 100 remained in the rubble of a 17-story residential building that collapsed, officials said.

In the southeast coastal city of Tainan, one or two survivors at a time were pulled from the ruins of the high-rise building that fell like an accordion in Saturday’s earthquake and has become the focal point of the disaster.

More than 300 people have been rescued, and more than 500 were injured, according to Taiwan’s state-owned Central News Agency.

Bills threaten local historic districts John Gallagher Detroit Free Press

A collective shudder ran through Michigan’s historic preservation community these past couple of weeks as details emerged about proposed legislation that could all but wipe out local historic districts in the state.

From Detroit’s Indian Village to Grand Rapids’ Heritage Hill neighborhood, preservationists are crying foul.

The twin legislation, HB 5232 and SB 720, would end any historic districts in the state after 10 years, forcing residents and preservationists to apply anew every decade. Renewing a district’s standing would become much more difficult under the legislation; it would require not only a twothirds approval of property owners in the district but a majority vote of the city in the next general election. Other restrictions would apply as well.

For believers in preserving such treasured neighborhoods as Indian Village, Corktown, Lafayette Park and Palmer Woods, the presence of a local historic district has provided a bulwark against changes that would destroy the character of the area.

Without such protection, says

BYE-BYE INTERNET BUBBLE 2.0 John Shinal @johnshinal USA TODAY

The signs that the second great Internet investment bubble was nearing its end have been there for months for those who know where to look.

They included the decrease in funding rounds for private startups valued at $1 billion or more; more tech start-ups, including Uber, having to go overseas to raise money at higher valuations; and prominent venture capitalists writing blog posts encouraging more private companies to go public sooner rather than later.

All these suggested that big U.S. investors were beginning to turn up their noses at Internet valuations.

Now, because of the worst start of a year for tech stocks since the Great Recession, these more-obscure data points have been confirmed by a more glaring one: the ongoing slaughter in public Internet valuations.

The collapse of LinkedIn shares (LNKD) — which plunged 44% Friday — shows that even profitable Internet firms are now being abandoned by professional money managers.

Along with Facebook (FB), LinkedIn is one of the few Internet stocks among those valued above $10 billion that went public during the past five years to still be trading above its IPO price.

By sharp contrast, Alibaba, Twitter, Groupon, Zynga, Box, HortonWorks, FitBit, GoPro and Square are all below their initial offering prices.

And because Facebook lost THE NEW TECH ECONOMY EVERY MONDAY

SAN FRANCISCO

roughly 50% of its value in its first six months as a public company, LinkedIn still holds the distinction of having never traded below its IPO price of $45.

While that’s good news for the professional investors who got it at that price in 2011, it’s now little comfort for those who bought the company’s shares at the top.

After its Friday plunge — prompted by a 2016 revenue forecast that badly lagged Wall Street estimates — LinkedIn is now 60% below its 52-week high.

And LinkedIn has plenty of company amid the sell-off, as the list of Internet issues that have punished retail investors is extensive.

Twitter and Groupon are the biggest dogs of this boom, both off 70% from 52-week highs and well below their IPO prices.

FitBit shares have collapsed 70%, while Yelp’s valuation has shrunk by two-thirds.

Box, which has the distinction of posting quarterly net losses in excess of revenue, is down by half.

Match.com, the holding company for dating sites owned by parent Interactive Corp. that went public late last year, is down 39% from its high.

Alibaba (BABA), which sold the largest IPO ever 30 months ago, is off by a third, as is fellow Chinese Internet giant Baidu.com.

More established Internet firms that went public during the last boom have also not been spared.

Yahoo (YHOO) shares are off 39%, and Netflix (NFLX), the best-performing stock in the S&P 500 last year, is now off by 37% from its 52-week high. Likewise, Priceline.com (PCLN) is off 31% and eBay (EBAY), 22%.

Bond markets are doing exactly what most people thought they wouldn’t do, and that’s putting savers in a bad spot, again.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury — which moves opposite its price — has cratered 18% this year to 1.84% through Friday to its lowest level in a year.

Seeing interest rates drop is contrary to the popular wisdom.

Many called for higher interest rates this year following 2015’s first hike of short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve in nearly a decade.

Falling interest rates are painful for people who rely on income from their savings and investments to live on. Economists came into the year expecting rates to rise and finally give savings more income. But the opposite is happening. “Interest rates are not going to go up as much as people thought, and probably not very much at all, says Allen Sinai, chief global economist at Decision Economics. “Persistently low interest rates are a by-product.”

There are several forces at work pushing interest rates down, including:

Banks are lowering rates because prices aren’t rising much, Sinai says. Most central banks target 2% inflation, but that’s not happening. Falling oil prices are a big reason why inflation is so low, Sinai says. The price of a barrel of oil is down 70% over the past two years.

No relief from ’15 as hedge funds get crushed Average fund tanked 3.66% in January Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

After a rough 2015, “smart money” hedge fund investors are getting crushed again this year as some of their favorite stocks get walloped.

Some of the biggest names to get trounced include: uPershing Square Capital Management, the publicly traded investment vehicle of billionaire hedgie Bill Ackman, fell 11% last month following a 20% decline last year, data from the website show. uLarry Robbins’ Glenview Capital, famous for picking stocks that could benefit from Obamacare, dropped 13.65% in January following a decline of 18% last year, according to data from HSBC’s Hedge Weekly report, a copy of which was obtained by USA TODAY. uMarcato International, a well-known activist fund run by

Even last year’s winner had a tough time in January.

Ackman protege Mick McGuire, fell 12.1% last month following a 9% loss last year, according to HSBC. Even last year’s winners had a tough time of it in January:

uTrian Partners, whose Nelson Peltz made headlines fighting with DuPont last year, lost 7% in January, HSBC data showed.

Last year, Trian posted gains of more than 4%. uTiger Global Management — run by Chase Coleman, a descendant of Peter Stuyvesant, one of New York’s earliest movers and shakers, lost 14% last month, according to Reuters.

Last year, the tech focused fund posted gains of 6.8%. uMaverick Capital, run by Texas billionaire Lee Ainslie, fell 2% in January, HSBC data showed. The hedge fund firm stunned with a 16% gain last year.

The decline follows big losses

in some of the hedge fund industry’s top stocks. Shares of Amazon.com (AMZN), for example, are down 25% this year. Apple (AAPL), another hedge fund favorite, is down 10% this year, while Netflix (NFLX) has dropped 27%.

Energy companies and financial stocks are also getting crushed on fears that they will get hurt by falling oil prices.

One minor exception to the January doldrums appears to be Greenlight Capital, a hedge fund run by famed short-seller David Einhorn. The fund eked out a 1.3% return following a 20% decline last year, HSBC data showed.

U.S. airports near Canada luring fliers across border Ben Mutzabaugh

POPULAR IN CANADA

USA TODAY

What did it take for a city the size of Buffalo to land its only non-stop route to California? A bunch of Canadians and cheap jet fuel.

JetBlue announced last week that it would add non-stop service starting this June between Buffalo and Los Angeles, giving Buffalo its only regularly scheduled flight to the West Coast.

One key to making it work, JetBlue says, is to lure Canadians across the border.

It’s already happening on other flights at the airport. Bargainseeking Canadian fliers accounted for at least a third of all passengers last year at Buffalo/Niagara International Airport, where fares can be dramatically cheaper than on flights for the same routes from Toronto — only about 100 miles away.

JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., were on hand at a Buffalo airport press conference to announce the new flights last week, and each made a sales pitch to Canadian travelers. But it was Schumer, who frequently champions aviation in the state, who offered the most-direct plea.

“We are telling Canada residents, when you want to fly to California, don’t do it out of Toronto,” Schumer said. “Get in your car, take the short drive and fly here.”

Relying on customers from another country may sound unusual, but that’s how it works for Buffalo and other U.S. airports along the border with Canada.

“That’s not a surprise,” Douglas Hartmayer, spokesman for the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority that operates both the Buffalo/Niagara and nearby Niagara Falls International airports, said about JetBlue’s plan to help fill its L.A. flights with passengers from north of the border. “Canadians have been patronizing our airport for many years in great numbers.”

“The idea of Canadians driving across the border for cheaper flights is nothing new,” adds Seth Kaplan, editor of the Airline Weekly trade publication. “What has really changed in recent years is that you really have a number of airlines optimizing to capture those customers.”

That’s tended to work out for

Five U.S. routes that cater heavily to Canadians: uBellingham, Wash.-Honolulu (Alaska Airlines) uPlattsburgh, N.Y.-Fort Lauderdale (Spirit Airlines, Allegiant Air) uNiagara Falls, N.Y.-Punta Gorda, Fla. (Allegiant) uMinot, N.D.-Mesa, Ariz.

(Allegiant) uBangor, Maine-St. Petersburg, Fla. (Allegiant) Sources: Airlines, airports

An Allegiant sign welcomes travelers in English and French.

Buffalo, where the metro area’s population – currently at about 1.1 million – has been in slow decline since the 1970s, according to U.S. Census data.

Despite that, Kaplan says Buffalo “has always out-punched its weight as an airport relative to what you would get if you had the same local population base for Buffalo somewhere else in the country.”

“Certainly, airlines with a large presence in Buffalo – like JetBlue and Southwest – have benefited from that,” he says. “And because of how cheap fuel is, an airline like JetBlue can take chance on a non-stop route like Los Angeles” that would have been riskier fi-

nancially a few years back when fuel prices were higher.

But Buffalo is not the only place where airlines are trying routes that depend on the Canadian market.

From Bellingham, Wash., to Bangor, Maine, passenger counts at many U.S. airports along the border are bolstered by Canadians looking for cheaper fares and non-stop flights to popular U.S. destinations.

How else to explain non-stop flights to places such as Hawaii, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Palm Springs from the small market of Bellingham, Wash.?

The city has only about 80,000 residents, but its airport sits just

60 miles from downtown Vancouver — Canada’s third-largest metro.

Bellingham International Airport doesn’t keep a precise count but estimates about 65% of its customers come from Canada.

“We do know a significant number of Canadian passengers utilize our airport to take advantage of cheap parking and low cost flights to 10 different nonstop locations,” Director of Aviation Sunil Harman says in an email.

In the East, it’s the airport serving tiny Plattsburgh, N.Y., that’s perhaps the most upfront in its efforts to draw Canadians.

The English and French-language website for Plattsburgh International proudly displays its motto, “Montreal’s U.S. airport.”

Plattsburgh has only about 20,000 residents but offers nonstop flights to destinations like Fort Lauderdale; Myrtle Beach, S.C.; and St. Petersburg, Fla. They’re kept afloat in large part with Canadians from Montreal, Canada’s second-largest city that’s just 70 miles away on Interstate-quality highways.

Allegiant is one of the most aggressive carriers in adding border-city flights that rely on travelers from Canada. The company flies to nine cities where Canadian customers represent a significant portion of its customer base.

That may sound unconventional, “except if you’re one of the people up in those towns” along the border, says Lukas Johnson, Allegiant’s Vice President of Planning.

“If you’re in Bellingham or Plattsburgh, you’re pretty well aware that Canadians have been coming over for decades.”

ASK THE CAPTAIN

Why it takes so long to exit your airplane John Cox

Special for USA TODAY

Q: I was wondering what takes so long to get the exit door open after we land.

Could you please go through the steps?

— Submitted via email A: Once the airplane arrives at the gate and is properly chocked, the captain shuts down the engines and switches off the “fasten seat belt” light. The anti-collision light (this is the red blinking light on the top and bottom of the airplane) is switched off, informing ground crew that it is safe to approach the airplane.

Ground crewmembers then position the jet bridge, aligning it with the door. Once the jet bridge is mated to the aircraft and the cover is in place, the ground agent either opens the door or taps on it for the flight attendant to open it. This varies depending on the type of airplane to minimize the chance for an inadvertent slide deployment.

Once the door is initially opened, the ground agent assists in fully opening it and ensuring that it is locked in the open position.

This is the generic procedure for most jet airliners. Regional or smaller airplanes have a slightly different procedure as their stairs are built into the door.

Q: What does “prepare the doors for arrival and crosscheck” mean? Were the doors ever unprepared for arrival?

— Fred Coale, Cincinnati A: Doors have evacuation slides attached. During ground operations, takeoff and landing, the slides inflate automatically when the doors are opened.

When approaching the gate, the door’s automatic inflation systems must be disabled. The lead flight attendant informs the other flight attendants when to disarm the doors (“prepare doors for arrival”) and then check that the other doors nearby are also properly disarmed (“cross-check”).

Once disarmed, they are then ready for arrival.

Don’t get tricked into booking a pricey trip Christopher Elliott

chris@elliott.org Special for USA TODAY

Derrick Lawson had been looking far and wide for an airline ticket from Atlanta to Bangkok when he contacted me in exasperation.

No sooner did he find a reasonably priced flight than the online site showed the fare was no longer available or that the new price was significantly higher.

“This is so frustrating,” he told me. “I honestly can’t believe these companies can get away with this.”

But they can. The fare-nolonger-available trick is just one of many perfectly legal travel industry ploys designed to persuade you to make a booking decision now and to pay more. Travel companies use methods that range from decoy prices to creating the perception of product scarcity to persuade you to push the “book” button.

And travelers keep falling for it, which makes you wonder: Are we willing participants? Do we accept being deceived?

Industry analysts say travel companies must engage in these pricing shenanigans. Travel products — and this is particularly true of airline seats and hotel rooms — are considered “perishable” products, which is a fancy way of saying you can’t make money off an empty airline seat or hotel room. So the industry ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

Travel companies use methods that range from decoy prices to creating the perception of product scarcity (“Only three rooms left!”) to persuade you to push the “book” button. created a sophisticated system to ensure money isn’t left on the table.

“Airlines are maniacally focused on squeezing every penny they can out of their travelers,” explains James Filsinger, president of Yapta, which can track price changes in airline tickets.

“This approach is known as yield management.”

And that’s why you see such dramatic price differences on many travel products, depending on when you buy them. A complex algorithm, not a linear pricing structure, determines how much you’ll pay. More often than not, you fall for it.

But the games don’t end there.

Here are a few other schemes they use to make you buy: uThey make you think they’re about to run out. You know those warnings: “Only three rooms

left!” Be skeptical, says Vassilis Dalakas, a marketing professor at Cal State San Marcos. “This is a simple way to create the perception of a deal and a sense of urgency for the consumers that will motivate them to make the purchase soon,” he says. uThey make you nervous.

Travel companies know that changing prices plus or minus 20% can make consumers uneasy, according to Aleksei Udachny, the founder of Airhint, a site that helps consumers find cheaper fares. Often, they’ll raise or lower prices in order to prod you into a purchase. “Customers buy because they’re afraid that the price will increase even more,” he says. uThey send a decoy. This happens when a company wants you to make a particular purchasing decision. It’s a lot like labeling

something “popular choice” except that the company will offer a less appealing choice — a more expensive seat or room — knowing it’s likely to pressure you into buying the one they really want you to purchase. “Travelers are more likely to be swayed in one direction or the other,” says Mariah Menendez, a spokeswoman for Travglobe.com, a travel agency. uMaybe the worst pricing trick is what the Federal Trade Commission calls “drip” pricing.

That’s when you find what appears to be a low price — rooms for $99 — but then, as you go through the booking process, it adds taxes and mandatory “resort” or “parking” fees. In the end, the same room costs $139 a night.

Here’s the interesting thing. As reprehensible as all this may be, we keep falling for it.

When the government, which is supposed to be protecting consumers, rolls over and allows these tricks to happen, it makes you wonder: Do we want to be lied to?

Perhaps, says Dalakas, the marketing professor. “I think we want to be deceived into thinking we make rational decisions even when, in reality, we don’t,” he says. “The tactics used by the travel industry all cleverly capitalize on that desire by framing the decision in a way that will make it seem more rational.”

Reason has nothing to do with it. If it did, then none of these methods would work. You’re better off walking away from a company that plays games with you.

That’s what happened to Lawson, the county worker flying to Bang-

HOW TO AVOID PAYING TOO MUCH uWatch for price changes.

The price you’re quoted initially will almost certainly change as taxes and fees are added. If it’s too much, click off the site and find a company that will quote a complete and gimmick-free rate. uMind the nines. Pricing experts know that nines can push you into a purchase. For example, a $199 hotel room will get three times as many bookings as a $200 one, according to Tim Brady, a pricing strategist with Mondo Mediaworks. “We don’t really know why,” he says. But you can resist this so-called “charm” pricing by becoming aware of the nines. If you see them, chances are you’re being manipulated. uJust say “no.” The only way these pricing lies will end is if you stop falling for them. So the next time a company offers an attractive rate or fare, but you end up having to pay more, walk away — but first, don’t forget to send a note to the FTC (ftccomplaintassistant.gov) letting it know about the deceptive price you found.

It’s the only way things will change.

The power of three: Beyoncé, Martin and Mars give the fans what they want Sunday night at Levi’s Stadium.

CARY EDMONDSON, USA TODAY SPORTS

Coldplay’s Martin kicks off the festivities at Levi’s Stadium. The band opened with its hit Viva La Vida.

Super Bowl “somewhat oversized.” After all, how many other halftime acts go on CBS This Morning before the game, as Coldplay frontman Chris Martin did, to confess that the band no longer worries that lots of people don’t like them? It’s not exactly a rousing bit of self-promotion.

Nor is it an exactly great sign when you start out with your big hit, Viva La Vida, and the crowd noise drowns you out. Martin is a personable and energetic performer, though an awful lot of that energy went into jumping.

But he, and his song’s lyrics, just seemed overwhelmed by the stadium and the event. And when he joined Beyoncé and Mars on Uptown Funk, it felt like the Super Bowl version of James Corden’s “Carpool Karaoke.”

But hey, Bey.

Samantha Bee warms up an already friendly audience at a taping of her final test show Monday, the eve of the Iowa caucuses.

She stands on her shiny new set in a tomato-red blazer, joking (or maybe not) that “half the people here work at Full Frontal,” her new weekly TBS comedy show that premieres Monday (10:30 p.m. ET/PT) with a dose of the comfortably familiar for fans of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, where she was a correspondent.

Only now she’s running the show, helped by three former Daily staffers including her husband, Jason Jones, who proudly says, “There’s no one else who can do this better than her” after “12 years learning from the master.”

Even before the unexpected Iowa outcome, Canadian-born Bee, 46, had plenty of jokes about the state’s quadrennial 15 minutes of political fame. (State color? “White people”) NEW YORK

ROBERT DEUTSCH, USA TODAY

Samantha Bee will be the only current female nighttime talk-show host with Full Frontal, a weekly series airing at 10:30 starting Monday.

And afterward, she muses on whether Frontal needs to be different from Daily in an expanding world of nighttime snark.

“Does it have to be? Or can it just be my version of that?” she asks. And one that’s run by women, if not exclusively for them, in a genre that’s overwhelmingly male.

“I’m just reading coverage of things in a completely different way.”

Key components of the show are the remote segments that were her trademarks at Daily.

Among those lined up: The hurdles female military veterans face getting medical care; a Texas abortion-rights case being heard by the Supreme Court; and a trip to a “cultural orientation” session in Jordan for Syrian refugees heading to the U.S. (Her takeaway: “It’s really the Americans who need the orientation about Syrians.”)

Officially, Frontal has a 13week commitment by Turner, though its entertainment chief, Kevin Reilly, says the show is “baked into” his long-term plans.

He’ll air Monday’s premiere on five of its networks, and calls Bee “a smart person who knows how to unpack an issue and get laughs out of it. She’s not off-putting; she’s not in-your-face.”

At their old job, says former colleague John Oliver, whose HBO show shares Bee’s studio, “she could get you out of a jam, because she could get laughs out of something that objectively was not a joke. As for field pieces?

“She is probably at the very high-

est end of that skill set. It was always slightly humbling watching her do that.”

Bee won’t ignore politics. But unlike Stewart, “it’s not as much going back in time and figuring out ways they contradicted themselves,” she says. “Everybody is sort of doing that now,” even Fox News during the last GOP debate.

“It’s amply covered, and yet if you ignore it, you risk being irrelevant.”

Comedy Central never offered Bee The Daily Show when Stewart left, despite her long tenure.

But she’s OK with it.

“I don’t want to do a show four nights a week. Kill me. Oh my God. No thank you,” says the mother of three (her oldest is 10).

“If there’s one thing that I do know myself, it’s better for me to build something from nothing than to take over something from someone else who is so lauded,” she says. “This is a better path for me, and I can carve out my own space.”

Starting with the fact that at 10:30, her show isn’t in late night.

“We’ll get to have people who are still awake! That will be nice.”

SUPER BOWL • BRONCOS 24, PANTHERS 10

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Simply put, KU needs sweep A pair of successful purple tuneups in Lawrence and Fort Worth checked off the schedule, gut-check week has arrived for a Kansas University basketball team that like most top 10 squads doesn’t always play like it or feel like it.

Kansas heads into the week with a 19-4 overall record and a 7-3 conference record, good for a secondplace tie with Oklahoma and Texas, one game behind West Virginia, one game ahead of Baylor and Iowa State. That’s right, one hole into the back nine, six schools remain in the hunt for the Big 12 title.

Nationally, the scramble for No. 1 is no less crowded, no easier to try to project.

The Jayhawks could move up a spot from their No. 7 ranking when the new Associated Press poll is released early this afternoon.

Despite the lofty ranking, only a sweep this week can sustain the positive mojo generated from lopsided victories against the Horned Frogs and Wildcats.

The answer to the question regarding these bouncing around so many minds — was that 1-3 road start to the conference season just a bump in the road toward a 12th consecutive Big 12 title, or is this team not quite championship-caliber? — awaits.

West Virginia, a pest of an opponent because of relentless offensive rebounding and defensive pressure, visits Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday night.

Four days and 333 miles later, Kansas visits Oklahoma for a rematch of the 109-106, triple-overtime blast won by KU in Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas coach Bill Self talked about his team in a way many coaches talk about theirs. Great? No. Able to beat anybody when playing smart, driven, unselfish basketball? Sure, why not?

“I love our roster,” Self said, perhaps embellishing a touch. “I don’t know that there is a team in America that can say they’ve got everything. Last year’s Kentucky team could say they had everything. They had shooting. They had depth.

They had shot-blockers, big bodies. They could probably try to fit whatever the

Broncos’ dominant defense delivers Santa Clara, Calif. (ap) — A reborn Orange Crush might have sent Peyton Manning into retirement with a Super ending to his career.

Von Miller and the impenetrable Denver defense harassed Panthers quarterback Cam Newton all game Sunday, and the Broncos made enough big plays for a 24-10 victory, Manning’s 200th and perhaps his last before retirement.

He wasn’t the star of Super Bowl 50 — game MVP Miller seemingly was everywhere on every Carolina play — but Manning really hasn’t been the headliner in this injuryshortened season.

Boca Raton, Fla. — Esteban Toledo parred the third playoff hole Sunday to win the Allianz Championship over Billy Andrade on a cold, windy day at Broken Sound Club.

Toledo made a 4-foot par putt after Andrade’s 5-foot par try lipped out on the par-4 17th hole.

Three of Toledo’s four PGA Tour Champions titles have come in playoffs. Toledo (67) and Andrade (68) finished at 11-under 205.

Andrade had a chance to win in regulation but missed a six-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole. It looked like he was going to lose on the first playoff hole when his second shot landed in the palmetto bushes, but he saved par.

BRIEFLY

Scottsdale, Ariz. — Rickie Fowler broke down in tears in the media center after his playoff loss Sunday in the Waste Management Phoenix Open, overcome by emotion talking about his family.

“The hard part is having all my friends and family and grandpa and my dad who haven’t seen me win,” Fowler said. “But I will be able to kind of hang with them tonight. I’ll be all right.”

He hit two balls into the water on the par-4 17th hole — the first in regulation and the second on the fourth and final extra hole — to give Hideki Matsuyama an unexpected victory.

“This one hurts,” Fowler said.

He blew a two-shot lead on the 317-yard 17th in regulation when he blasted a driver through the green and into the water, with the ball traveling nearly 360 yards.

“I’m hitting a chip-cut driver,” Fowler said. “Usually, don’t expect it to hit on the downslope and then go 360.”

Using a 3-wood on the hole in the playoff, he pulled his drive into the lake just short of the green.

“Hit it solid,” Fowler said. “Just hit it a little high on the face and it just got up and left a little quicker than I was expecting and wanted.”

Matsuyama birdied the hole in regulation to tie for the lead, chipping to 21⁄2 feet. In the playoff, he chipped to six feet and two-putted for the win after Fowler missed his 10-foot par putt.

“Surprised and sad that Rickie finished that way, but all I can do is my best,” Matsuyama said through a translator. “I was lucky to come out on top.”

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a final-round 73, dropped from a tie for 10th to finish tied for 33rd at 280 (10 back) and pocketed $35,913.

possession of first place at 8-2. Baylor and Iowa State are still in the thick of things at 6-4. The Jayhawks have games remaining against the Bears in Waco, Texas, and Iowa State in Allen.

“We’ve got to be focused, make sure every game is important to us and buckle down,” Traylor said after grabbing seven rebounds and scoring six points against the Horned Frogs.

The West Virginia game will be a rematch of KU’s 74-63 loss to the Mountaineers on a snowy Jan. 12 evening in Morgantown, W.Va. “We’ve got to take care of the ball. They go out there and force a lot of turnovers,” Traylor said.

The Jayhawks committed 22 turnovers against the Mountaineers’ full-court press. “We also had a lot of breakdowns defensively against them. We had a terrible game defensively.”

West Virginia actually managed a double-digit victory versus KU on a night the Mountaineers hit 33.3 percent of their shots and went 3-of-12 from three. Jaysean Paige torched KU for 26 points off 6-of-13 shooting. He was 14-of-17 from the line.

“That was kind of the start of our little lapse where we played tired,” KU coach Bill Self said.

That was the first of three straight road losses in the league, the others at Oklahoma State and Iowa State.

“You can’t play tired against those guys.

They’ll kick your tail,” Self said. “We’ve got to be better, attack them better.

At least we get two days to prepare this time. Last time we had one (after winning at Texas Tech).

We’re excited about it.

It should be an unbelievable atmosphere in the fieldhouse. It’s certainly a huge game for us with league implications.”

For the first time in a long time, the Jayhawks left a road venue with smiles on their faces Saturday. KU outrebounded TCU, 46-25. Self thinks senior Traylor set the tone with his efforts on the glass.

“To me, the best player in the game was Jamari Traylor. He gave us energy, stole extra possessions for us. That gives us confidence,” Self said.

“We were a lot better.

We were really good on the glass. We’ve got to tighten up some things and make some shots, but I think we can do that.”

Senior Perry Ellis hit 11 of 14 shots and grabbed 10 rebounds in 34 minutes.

KU tennis downs Buffaloes After picking up the doubles point with two dominating match victories, Kansas University’s women’s tennis team claimed three considerably closer singles matches to beat Colorado, 4-1, on Sunday at the Jayhawk Tennis Center.

Kansas moved to 6-0 on the season, while CU fell to 3-4.

job responding and came out and really competed and made some things difficult on us. Every time we’ve been pushed as a team this season, they’ve found a way to win.”

KU’s Nina Khmelnitckaia and Janet Koch claimed a 6-2 victory at No. 1 doubles, and teammates Smith Hinton and Anastasiya Rychagova rolled to a 6-0 victory at No. 3 to clinch the doubles point.

Hinton then defeated Nuria Ormeno Ruiz, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 (5) at No. 2 singles; Koch edged Jeannez Daniel, 7-6 (2), 6-4 at No. 3; and Khmelnitckaia road from me, and they have a great history and great coaching staff. I have a lot of respect for those guys,” Ballock told Rivals.com on Sunday.

“I am very excited to have this process over with because it will give me the chance to just focus on playing and not worrying about where I’m going or who’s watching or any of that.”

He is so solid,” Self said.

“I thought he went after the ball. I thought he rebounded so much better.

I thought he played really well.”

Traylor would agree.

“We knew we had to get him the ball. We hadn’t been doing that lately,” Traylor said. “He just wanted to go out and be aggressive. We were giving him the ball. He demanded it, actually. He knocked his shots down when he had his chances.

That’s Perry.”

Traylor realizes his own role this week will be to continue to bring energy to a KU team in the midst of a fierce battle for the league crown.

“I have to be aggressive, give my team chances to score more points,” said Traylor, who had five offensive rebounds Saturday. “It’s what I’m here for. I’ve got to be energetic. Guys see me flying around there, talking, being energetic, being hungry and wanting to win ... I feel that’s contagious, and guys will do the same thing.”

But the only thing to celebrate at the end was a vicious Denver defense that made enough big plays to set up Manning for the second Super Bowl ring he so coveted in what was likely the final game of his career.

At least let’s hope it was the final game of his career. It would be hard to watch No. 18 take the field again after a performance that exposed him as an aging quarterback hanging on for one final moment of glory.

Manning wasn’t terrible, but for a lot of the game he was simply awful. If not for a late gift from the Panthers, he would have gone the entire game without an offensive touchdown.

were the fewest ever for a Super Bowl winner.

Denver’s defense wound up with a Super Bowl record-tying seven sacks, showing off the rush that led the NFL with 52 sacks this season and knocked around New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady so frequently two weeks ago in the AFC championship game. Miller had 21⁄2 sacks in that one, too.

Two years ago, when Manning directed the NFL’s best offense, Denver got walloped 43-8 in the Super Bowl by the Seattle Seahawks, owners of the league’s best defense.

General manager John Elway set out to build the Broncos’ D, adding players such as DeMarcus Ware, T.J. Ward and Aqib Talib.

But Miller, who missed that loss to Seattle because of a knee injury, already was in place, set to pair with Ware as a dangerous duo.

Now comes the offseason and contract negotiations for Miller, someone the Broncos would probably love to lock up for the long term.

wood, who didn’t call for a fair catch. Escorted by a bevy of blockers, he appeared headed for a touchdown until DE Mario Addison chased him down at the Carolina 14, a 61-yard jaunt.

Denver also forced the first fumble of the season

by All-Pro fullback Mike Tolbert.

But the Broncos also had a giveaway when Manning was picked by DE Kony Ealy on a zone blitz deep in Panthers territory.

Carolina’s Graham Gano hit the right upright on a 44-yard field goal attempt to open the second half. Then his counterpart, McManus, made his 10th in as many postseason tries for a 16-7 margin. The kicker was rescuing Denver’s inept short-yardage offense, just as he did in a playoff win over Pittsburgh when he made five field goals.

Gano made a 39-yarder with 10:21 remaining. At 16-10, the 50th Super Bowl came down to Denver’s defense finishing it off.

Who else but Miller stripped Newton and T.J. Ward recovered at the Carolina 4. Anderson scored from the 2 following a third-down holding call on All-Pro CB Josh Norman. A 2-point conversion was simply window dressing.

“We dropped balls,” said Newton, slouched in a chair with little interest in explaining the outcome. “We turned the ball over. We gave up sacks. We threw errant passes. That’s it.”
