Phog Allen’s letters to Bob Dole put on display

L

egendary Kansas University basketball coach Phog Allen and former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole used to write letters to each other — who knew?

In fact, a young Dole was a standout basketball player Allen began recruiting when Dole was just 14, according to KU’s Dole Institute of Politics. Dole later earned a spot on KU’s freshman basketball team in 1941 and made varsity a year later.

The letters between the two will be on display in a new special exhibit that opened Monday at the Dole Institute, 2350 Petefish Drive.

The exhibit, “Letters from a Leader: Phog Allen to Bob Dole, 1938-1939,” will be on view in the Darby Gallery at the Dole Institute through April 15.

Dated between 1938 and 1939, the letters document the beginning of the relationship between Coach Allen and a young Bobby Dole, just 14 years old in 1938, according to the Dole Institute. Allen, a recruiter and mentor, affirms Dole’s potential, ambition and call to public service.

All letters are from the collection of KU’s University Archives at KU Libraries.

Topeka — A Senate committee voted Monday to put the brakes on Kansas University’s $350 million Central District project, at least until lawmakers get more information about the plans, a move that Democrats say could damage the credit ratings of both KU and the state.

Sen. Tom Arpke, R-Salina, inserted language in a pending budget bill for the upcoming fiscal year LEGISLATURE that would prevent KU from making “any payments” related to that project. That would presumably include any lease payments KU intends to make to the nonprofit corporation that was set up to issue the bonds.

As the Lawrence school board begins planning next school year’s budget, its members will be looking for where the district can save money and where it will have to make cuts. Lawrence public schools Superintendent Rick Doll acknowledged the board has tough choices ahead.

“Ultimately, it is the board’s responsibility — the decision to make about how low do we go (in our contingency reserve fund), what do we cut to give raises, what don’t we cut to give raises, do we give raises?”

Doll said to board members at the conclusion of Monday’s meeting.

.

DEATHS Rebecca elaine Fabac Memorial services will be held Friday, February 12th at 4pm at Eudora Baptist Church in Eudora, KS.

Frances e. Morrison Services for Frances E. Morrison, 91, Lawrence are pending and will be announced by Warren-McElwain Mortuary. She died Mon., Feb. 8th at Pioneer Ridge.

District finance administrators presented a budget overview to the board that included breakdowns of the district’s projected operating budget and expenditures for the upcoming year.

The district operates 20 schools and a college and career center, and Doll said principals have been asked to try to come up with efficiencies for their buildings as part of the budget planning.

With many assuming that block grants put in place by the Kansas Legislature will remain in effect another year, the board’s expectation is that funding will stay relatively flat while student enrollment increases. Student enrollment increased by about 250 students districtwide this school year, and that trend is projected to continue next year.

“We know that in effect we’re going to have less money, because we’re going to have more kids for the same amount of money,” Doll said.

Some possible changes mentioned by district officials included eliminating certain high school course offerings, making changes to the middle school schedule, and increasing thresholds for elementary class sizes.

“There are a lot of conversations that are happening, questions to be answered,” said Kyle Hayden, assistant superintendent of business and operations.

Criticisms by Kansas lawmakers that school districts spend too much on administrative costs,

“If they want to expend endowment funds, they’re welcome to do that,” Arpke said. “If they want to go raise additional private funds, they’re more than welcome to do that. If they want to solicit me and ask for donations to help pay for this, they’re welcome to do that. I’ll probably say no.”

“I think we just need to call this for what it is, which is just a continuing attack on the flagship university,” said Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka.

“It doesn’t do our state any good. It harms our reputation and our ability to recruit and retain highquality folks.”

According to KU’s plans, the nonprofit corporation KU Campus Development Corporation will be the owner of the new facilities and KU will lease them back, using tuition, fees and other revenues generated by the projects, and they have

too little on instruction and maintain high cash reserves all informed the board’s discussion Monday. As board members prepare to start working on the budget, those factors will be kept in mind, Hayden said.

The budget overview report will be reviewed by the finance advisory council, which will in turn make recommendations to the school board in a future meeting, Hayden said.

In other business, the school board: l Heard a proposal to name the Lawrence High School football field or stadium after former football and track coach Bill Freeman. Freeman died in December and his daughter, Jennifer Freeman Nauertc, presented the idea to the board.

Doll said that because there are about five or six very successful former LHS coaches, any recognition would likely take the form of multiple plaques as opposed to naming the field. Board members said they would make that decision based on feedback from Lawrence High. l Reviewed a report on changes in the district’s professional learning approach. The district has adopted a new approach that is more personalized.

The report reviewed several new formats, including collaborative sessions and the ability for teachers to choose some of the content. About 93 percent of the teachers surveyed about the new format said it was effective.

The school board’s next meeting will be Feb. 22 at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

Senate panel approves bill to balance state budget Topeka (ap) — A Kansas Senate committee on Monday approved a bill that would balance the state budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1.

The measure approved by the Ways and Means Committee would eliminate a projected deficit of nearly $200 million in the

$16.1 billion budget for the next fiscal year.

The committee’s 9-2 vote sends the bill to the full Senate for a debate that could occur by the end of this week.

The bill includes many of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposals to help close the budget

gap by juggling funds and capturing unanticipated savings.

The GOP-dominated committee also found an additional $32 million in savings in a program that provides death and disability benefits to the families of state workers.

Bill expanding tax credits for scholarships advances

By Peter Hancock

“

All of the money on these sheets went to religious schools, parochial schools. I don’t A House committee ad- have a problem with parochial schools, but vanced a bill Monday that would expand a program there’s no accountability that goes with this.”

Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

that offers tax credits in exchange for contributions to scholarship funds that help lower-income students attend private or parochial schools.

The program, which critics have called an indirect form of state-funded vouchers for private schools, is currently available only to students who qualify for free school meals and who attend lowperforming schools in lowincome neighborhoods, known as Title I “priority” and “focus” schools Lawmakers established the program last year. It currently offers a 70 percent nonrefundable tax credit to corporations that contribute to scholarship funds that enable those children to transfer to a participating private or parochial school.

In the first year of the program, lawmakers capped the total volume of tax credits available at $10 million. But according to Department of Revenue officials, the total amount of scholarship contributions was $776,000.

House Bill 2457 would expand the program by raising the income threshold to 185 percent of the federal poverty level — — K-12 education reporter the income limit to qualify Rochelle Valverde can be reached at for reduced-price meals rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314. — and making it available

insisted that state taxpayers are not at risk of having to repay the bonds.

Lawmakers, however, have not been so easily convinced. At meetings before the Joint Committee on State Building Construction in November, and the interim Legislative Budget Committee the following month, members of both panels expressed concern that the state would eventually be on the hook if anything went wrong with the project, and they said the full Legislature would have further questions when the 2016 session began in January.

KU, however, went forward with the bond issue in early January, just days before the Legislature convened, using a Wisconsin public finance agency to execute the bond sale instead of the Kansas Development Finance Authority because KDFA is not empowered to issue bonds for any projects involving research facilities without legislative approval.

Arpke said he and other legislators who don’t

L awrence J ournal -W orld

serve on the interim committees have not been given any information about the projects.

“Why should we have to go seek it out?” he said.

“I don’t take the Lawrence paper. I don’t take the Topeka paper. I don’t take the Salina paper. So unless they’re going to have something on the World Wide Web outlining the entire project, that’s not public dissemination of the project.”

Arpke said the limitation would apply to the use of any state funds, as well as tuition and fee funds, but would not apply to the use of any federal funds.

The House Appropriations Committee put somewhat different language in its budget bill last week. The House bill would put limits on how much KU could spend next year out of certain “unrestricted” funds such as tuition and fee funds.

KU officials are scheduled to appear today before the Senate Ways and Means Committee and may also appear before

— Rep. Sue Boldra, R-Hays to students from any pubic school, not just Title I priority and focus schools.

It would also make the tax credits available to individuals as well as corporations, raising the credit amount to 90 percent of the contribution amount.

Department of Revenue officials explained that a tax credit is more generous than a tax deduction because it is subtracted directly off the tax bill that is owed, rather than off the income upon which taxes apply.

Rep. Kasha Kelley, RArkansas City, who pushed for the bill, said the intent is to help students who otherwise would be consigned to the state’s lowest-performing schools.

“We hear a lot that kids’ families do have choices, and that is true if your pocketbook allows for those choices,” Kelley said.

“But this particular group of children right here are in that group whose choices are muted by the fact that their pocketbook doesn’t equal the weight that others would.”

But Rep. Sue Boldra, R-Hays, argued that the program effectively shifts state resources to schools

the House Appropriations Committee to discuss the project.

“We know that legislators have questions about the Central District project and we look forward to answering them (today) at the meetings of the House Appropriations Committee and the Senate Ways and Means Committee,” KU Vice Chancellor Tim Caboni said in a statement released Monday.

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, said she is concerned that interference by the Legislature could hurt the state’s bond rating.

“If the Legislature starts passing legislation that says you can’t make payments, how are we helping our bond rating?”

Francisco said.

Arpke said his amendment could be removed from the bill at any time, but he wanted to send a message to KU about the Legislature’s displeasure.

that, in some cases, do not hire licensed teachers, do not have to meet state accreditation requirements, and do not administer state assessments in order to measure student progress.

“None of the money went to Montessori schools or early childhood schools,” Boldra said, referring to a report about which private schools received scholarship funds in the first year. “All of the money on these sheets went to religious schools, parochial schools. I don’t have a problem with parochial schools, but there’s no accountability that goes with this.”

Boldra offered an amendment, which was defeated, that would have steered the money back to public schools by allowing the scholarship money to be used to pay transportation and out-of-district fees for students who want to transfer from one public school to a different one.

The bill now goes to the full House for consideration.

Locations picked for downtown bicycle corrals

Clearing the table

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

With approval from Lawrence’s Bicycle Advisory Committee on Monday, the locations for three downtown “bike corrals” have been determined and will go to the City Commission for the final go-ahead.

As part of an effort to improve downtown bicycle parking, two vehicle parking spaces — one at Eighth and Massachusetts

streets and one at 100 E. Ninth St. — would be replaced by “bike corrals,” which each include a row of inverted U bike racks that would hold up to 10 bikes. A third bike corral would go in an unallocated space in front of the Lawrence Public Library at 707 Vermont St. “I think putting classified parking on the street increases the visibility of bikes as a form of Please see BIKES, page 4A

Free community concert Student leading KU diversity push arrested to feature high school choirs

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

A Kansas University student who has been a vocal leader of a group pushing for diversity improvements at KU was arrested Friday on campus.

Kennedi Grant, 20, was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, a controlled substance and drug parapher- Grant nalia, according to Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and KU Office of Public Safety records.

KU police arrested Grant shortly before 3 p.m. Friday at Jayhawker Towers apartments, tower B, 1603 W. 15th St., according to police records.

Police responded to Jayhawker Towers after a call from a reporting party, and only one person was arrested in the incident, KU police Capt. James Anguiano said. He said KU police forwarded the case to the district attorney’s office for review.

In November, Grant, who was president of

KU’s Black Student Union, led a group of mostly black students calling themselves Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk onto the stage at KU’s town hall forum on race, interrupting Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and other students to speak and read a list of diversity- and inclusionrelated demands for KU.

EUDORA

ON THE Commission prefers soccer complex plan at high school street

By Elvyn Jones

Twitter: @ElvynJ

The Eudora City Commission gave city staff direction Monday to pursue with the Eudora school district the development of a soccer complex at the high school/middle school campus.

The commission’s consensus to move forward with that location came at the conclusion of a work session on the city’s options to replace soccer fields that will be lost with the redevelopment of the Nottingham property the city purchased from the school district. The city is now seeking requests for proposals from developers for the 15-acre site, which includes the old Nottingham Elementary School and old football stadium. The city’s goal

is to name a developer of the property on March 29.

At the work session, Doug Pickert of Indigo Design shared three different options to develop a soccer field complex.

The options were updates of those included in an existing Eudora Parks Master Plan, he said.

One of the options would locate the soccer fields between Eudora High School and Middle School; the other two options would add soccer fields at Eudora Elementary School near the existing softball park complex.

The high school/middle school option would add three 47-by-75-yard soccer fields, three 25-by-55-yard fields and four 20-by-30yard fields to undeveloped space south of the high school parking lot and east of the track-and-field

event venue. The update Pickert presented found space for two additional 47-by-75-yard fields, which could be added to meet future demand. The option would also have a shelter and restrooms.

The option had the benefit of being cheaper than the two alternatives at the elementary school with an estimated cost of $847,263. That included $100,000 for the two additional fields.

Helping to keep costs down on the middle school/high school site was its use of existing parking in the high school lot and sidewalks.

Although not extremely sloped, the site would have to be leveled, Pickert said. Irrigation would also be added.

The updates Pickert shared of the elementary

school options would both add a 300-foot softball diamond east of the existing complex. One of the options at the elementary school would add two 47-by-75-yard fields, three of the 25-by-55-yard fields and four of the 20-by-30yard fields on space west of the elementary school parking lot. The estimated cost of that option was $1.35 million.

The other option would add a 282-stall parking lot, which would reduce the number of large fields to two and the intermediatesized fields to one. Its estimated cost was $1.31 million.

Strengthening the case for the middle school/ high school option was the school district’s concern about construction of additional recreational facilities at the

elementary school because of the probable fuBy Mackenzie Clark ture need to expand the Read more responses and add school.

“I do see them having your thoughts at LJWorld.com to add onto the school,” Commissioner Ruth If you had your own Hughs said. “We don’t comedy TV show, what want to spend money like would be the topic? this on facilities we will have to replace.”

Asked at Dillons on With the consensus Massachusetts Street reached, discussions between the city and See story, 6A school district will continue about developing the sports complex. Pickert said the construction could be completed “relatively quickly,” and with irrigation, one fall or spring growing season would be required to establish field turf.

Public invited to discuss mental health crisis intervention center In December, the County Commission and Bert Nash signed a memorandum of understanding that would have the county pay for the construction of a crisis center on land Bert Nash owns north of the Community Health Facility and adjacent to the Sandra J. Shaw Community Health Park. Last month, the County Commission awarded a contract to Treanor Architects to design the facility.

Jeff Lane, of Treanor Architects, said the charrette would start with a day of activities from noon to 7 p.m. today in conference rooms A, B and C on the second floor of the Bert Nash center, 200 Maine St. Mike Treanor, a principal with Treanor, and Bert Nash CEO David Johnson will kick off the charrette at noon with short presentations on the purpose of

the crisis center.

Visitors would then be invited to visit stations to share ideas on the crisis center’s design, Lane said. The stations would include drawing tables so that people can sketch out floor plans and computers on which they can select and print out features from other facilities or undertake online searches for such features.

There also would be writing stations at which visitors can explain their ideas, he said.

Visitors also will be

invited to share ideas about other uses at the crisis center’s Second Street site, such as a place to view the community health park’s lake, a soccer field or ball field, Lane said. Although how much property will be available has not been fully determined, there would be space for such applications, he said.

The charrette will conclude with a noon luncheon on Wednesday at the same Bert Nash conference rooms, Lane said.

Community members

transportation,” said Lisa Hallberg, chair of the committee. “I like the idea.”

Committee member David Hamby said the locations were “reasonably spaced” and in spots where they’d be frequently used.

Monday’s meeting doubled as a public hearing about the issue; city staff had sent out a notice to property owners within 200 feet of each of the proposed locations in order to gain feedback.

One Lawrence bicyclist, John Thornburg, spoke during the public hearing, expressing disapproval of the bike corral location in front of the library. Thornburg said having kids park bikes on the street was “the least desirable alternative,” and he suggested

putting bicycle parking spaces near the library entrance and reading garden.

Committee members responded saying there is other bicycle parking around the library, though there’s a lack of it.

“I think this can’t hurt the situation,” Hamby said.

The committee voted unanimously to approve the locations. It has not yet been determined when the proposal will go before the City Commission.

The bike corrals are part of a larger effort to increase downtown bicycle parking that also includes installing 44 inverted U racks on downtown sidewalks. LiveWell Lawrence awarded a grant in November to help with the bike corrals, which are estimated to cost $12,600 to install.

The Bicycle Advisory Committee is calling the three bike corrals a pilot

program. The committee plans to evaluate their usage, determine whether the city needs more and possibly create a system for businesses to request and install them.

“We’ll evaluate the usage through summer and fall and see how well they’re perceived,” said Jessica Mortinger, a senior transportation planner for the city. “We’ll do some survey work and see if their existence can be justified in the long-term.”

In other business, the Bicycle Advisory Committee made its formal recommendations for the street design of the East Ninth Project, the estimated $3 million effort to create an arts corridor from Massachusetts to Delaware streets.

The group asked for dedicated bicycle lanes throughout the corridor.

But, they realized, because

of “varying goals” and “conflicting priorities and values,” bike lanes may not be possible for the entire seven-block stretch.

If they’re not, the committee is suggesting designers prioritize dedicated bike lanes in blocks closer to Massachusetts Street and then, if needed, have shared-lane markings in the blocks from Connecticut to Delaware streets, farther from downtown.

So far, Mortinger said, an array of bicycle amenities have been proposed in the design process for the East Ninth Project, including bike lanes, shared-use lanes and a shared-use path. The street design Mortinger presented Monday included bike lanes with two side-by-side sidewalks on the south side of Ninth Street in some sections — one a historic brick sidewalk and another that’s ADA compliant.

are invited to join in the search for consensus on the crisis center’s design based on trends that emerged from ideas shared today.

The County Commission has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Bert Nash to fund construction of the crisis intervention center on the Second Street site that Bert Nash owns. No financing mechanism has yet been proposed, and a price tag for the facility hasn’t been determined. It has been proposed the crisis intervention center will be part of a package that includes an expansion of the Douglas County Jail. County officials have provided a rough estimate of $30 million for the jail expansion.

Museum honor The KU Natural History Museum has been honored as among the best in the nation.

T

he naming of the Kansas University Natural History Museum as the best of its kind at a public university in the United States is a welldeserved honor.

People familiar with the museum probably aren’t surprised to see it atop the list compiled by Best College Reviews, which ranked KU just behind the private university museums at Harvard, Drexel and Yale.

The KU Natural History Museum is housed in Dyche Hall, named for Lewis Lindsay Dyche, whose exploration and collecting provided the basis for some of the museum’s most popular exhibits.

For more than a century, the museum has attracted school groups and other visitors to view its exhibits or participate in educational programs. It consistently is listed as one of the state’s most popular tourist attractions. Museums on the Best College Reviews list had to be open to the public and were ranked on several criteria including the number of artifacts and specimens in their colleges, opportunities at the museum for college students and community involvement. Again, it’s no surprise that the KU museum would excel in all of those categories.

The museum’s exhibits, programs and research make an ongoing contribution to Lawrence and the state. Congratulations to director Leonard Krishtalka and the rest of the Natural History Museum staff on this notable recognition.

Sanders can’t duck foreign policy A recent NBC News poll found that only 11 percent of Democrats consider terrorism the most important issue in the presidential race, and only 5 percent cite foreign policy overall.

Perhaps that’s why Bernie Sanders didn’t seem worried about his fumbling foreignpolicy performance when he debated Hillary Clinton just days before the New Hampshire primary. After all, his campaign has soared beyond expectations thanks to his railing against rising inequality and Wall Street.

But given Sanders’ success and the unpredictable nature of this election year, his grasp of foreign policy — or lack thereof — should be of concern to voters. What little of it emerged Thursday night revealed a candidate who seems removed from the realities of the wider world.

This is not surprising since his career as a Vermont congressman and senator has been heavily focused on domestic issues.

NBC’s Chuck Todd told him that “nobody knows who your foreign-policy advisers are.” Figuring that out has become something of a parlor game in Washington, where several people cited

by Sanders aides say they have had no contact with the senator. Sanders offered no clues.

When Todd noted that the candidate hadn’t given a major foreign-policy speech, Sanders responded that he gave one about democratic socialism and foreign policy at Georgetown. He conceded that it might have been

Indeed, Sanders shows signs of the same wishful thinking that has undercut President Obama’s foreign policy.” better not to have combined the two in the same speech.

The senator was far more comfortable promoting the domestic themes that have propelled him into a tight race with Clinton. He kept evading the question of how long the United States should leave troops in Afghanistan, and he stumbled when talking about fighting ISIS or dealing with North Korea — referring to the country’s “several dictators” before correcting himself.

Sanders backed off the gaffes of a previous debate, when he suggested that the Saudis and Iranians should join against ISIS. (They are bitter enemies fighting proxy wars.) This time, he noted that the two countries “hate each other.” He also downplayed his previous call for an “aggressive” U.S. pursuit of normalization with Iran.

Yet his weak grasp of the details of the fight against ji-

hadis was painful to witness.

Of course, some will argue that this doesn’t matter because a President Sanders could rally a whole cadre of Democratic policy wonks to advise him. Others will point to Sanders’ signature retort when Clinton accuses him of lacking her level of experience. “Experience is not the only point,” Sanders said.

“Judgment is. Back in 2002, when we both looked at the same evidence about the wisdom of the war in Iraq, one of us voted the right way, and one of us didn’t.”

Sorry, while that war was misbegotten, and while Republicans still refuse to admit their Iraq mistakes, a “no” vote is an insufficient basis for a foreign policy. Sanders is rightly worried about “perpetual warfare within the quagmire of Syria and Iraq,” but that can’t be an excuse for failing to confront the growing ISIS threat.

Indeed, Sanders shows signs of the same wishful thinking that has undercut President Obama’s foreign policy. Like Obama, he doesn’t want to be distracted by foreign crises such as ISIS. Like Obama, he wants someone else to solve the Mideast’s problems: He’s suggested the Europeans, Saudis, Iranians, and Russians — yes, the Russians.

At the debate, he stated that “the key doctrine of the Sanders administration would be no, we cannot continue to do it alone; we need to work in coalition.”

That was Obama’s hope, too. He subcontracted the Saudis to train the Syrian

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 9, 1916: “The present automobile show at Kansas City eclipses years all other shows of like naago ture ever shown there.... LoIN 1916 cal people have attended the show every day it has been in session.... Persons who have gone from here say the show is truly a revelation even to people who consider themselves familiar with most of the recent developments in motor car building. There are more new things to be seen and more new ideas to be learned than the average person would consider possible.

opposition, and they armed Islamists. He hoped the Russians would rescue him in Syria. Instead, Vladimir Putin has backed his proxy Bashar al-Assad to the hilt and is on the verge of destroying the U.S.-backed Syrian opposition while failing to attack ISIS. Putin’s policies have also blown up talks aimed at producing a cease-fire — talks on which Obama pinned his hopes, and which Sanders praises.

Sanders’ goals are not bad. No one wants another “quagmire,” nor does Clinton advocate sending ground troops to the region (as opposed to U.S. military trainers, special forces, and air support, which Sanders also endorses). But what the senator misses is that a U.S. leader can’t wish a coalition into existence. He can’t ignore reality when such a coalition can’t function.

Sometimes Washington has to take the lead because there is no other option.

And sometimes, to convince friends and foes that America is serious, Washington has to have skin in the game.

Nor can a U.S. leader turn his attention away from threats such as ISIS that endanger the homeland in order to focus on domestic issues.

He can’t afford to “pivot” from the Mideast when it remains so problematic.

Obama did that, and it helped facilitate the rise of ISIS. The country can’t afford another president who makes such mistakes.

OLD HOME TOWN

A new fee structure is a reasonable plan for the city’s public golf course. new rate structure at the city’s Eagle Bend Golf Course means higher prices for some players, but it’s a reasonable approach to shoring up the course’s financial picture.

After learning that the course had finished 2015 with expenses about $24,000 above its income, Lawrence Parks and Recreation has instituted a new fee system at the course. The biggest change is the elimination of 12-month passes that allowed unlimited rounds at any time, including popular weekend tee times. The result was that pass holders were paying as little as $8 per round for prime-time slots that would normally cost more than $40. The course now will offer multiple-round tickets at a discounted cost but also will charge different rates based on the day of the week.

The changes no doubt will make some people unhappy, but they seem fair. Eagle Bend still is an affordable course compared to many others, and the city shouldn’t be expected to continue to operate the course at a loss.

PUBLIC FORUM

Motive questioned To the editor: I read the Feb. 5 Journal-World article regarding the bond issue and Kansas University. It sounds to me like Rep. Marc Rhoades, a Republican from Newton, has an ax to grind. We know he is a conservative but could he perhaps also be a K-State follower with a slight animosity toward KU? Just wondering!

Is this an opportunity for him to use his legislative position to not only take a cheap shot at Lawrence, that den of evil liberals, but also KU? It sounds like KU was following advice from the Kansas Legislature to find other means of funding projects without using Kansas taxpayers money. This seems to me a logical win-win situation for all concerned.

Thirty other states have passed legislation encouraging this type of financing.

So now Mr. Rhoades is sponsoring an amendment to punish Kansas University?

What is your real motive Mr. Rhoades?

Craig Tucker, Lawrence

Repressive stance To the editor: State Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook is the last person on Earth to whom I would entrust the safety of my grandchildren.

Under her political agenda, my grandkids may not have access to great art or to the rich resources in literature, and surely they would not have access to comprehensive sexuality education.

The notion that a poster in a sex education class would be damaging “be-

cause it would affect their brains” is clearly not good science but, more importantly, strikes a very condescending attitude towards today’s youth. The irony of Sen. Pilcher-Cook’s repressive and sex negative stance towards sexuality education keeps sexual health professionals like myself in business.

I cannot tell you how many couples I have worked with, who struggle to have a healthy sexual bond within their relationship, are the products of families and schools who did not inform and affirm their sexuality, who believed that “ignorance is bliss” and who so deeply internalized fear, guilt, shame and sex-negative messages that a healthy sexual bond was compromised and often unattainable.

I’d gladly forgo my clinical practice if young people would get what they need to be sexually healthy adults capable of sustaining intimate bonds within their relationships. But as long a Pilcher-Cook and the Kansas Legislature propose laws, I have a thriving practice and so many couples struggle to make meaningful connections with each other.

Dennis M. Dailey, Lawrence

Health champion?

To the editor: This news caught my eye. U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins was presented a National Council Behavioral Health Champion Award. This award should look good next to the award she surely gets from the National Rifle Association for her voting record on guns.

The award was for championing of the Mental Health First Aid Act. Who is the NCBH? It’s a member organization that is the voice of America’s mental health. Our local Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center must be a member because CEO David Johnson endorsed the award. According to its website, the NCBH mission “is to advance our members’ ability to deliver integrated health care.” I guess the Affordable Care Act (which Rep. Jenkins has voted 60 times to repeal) is not part of integrated health care.

I understand how the lobbying arm of this group gives an award to Congress as a favor for voting for mental health funds. What I don’t understand is how the CEO of Bert Nash can be part of this, knowing Jenkins’ voting record on health care, guns, food stamps, minimum wage laws and many other issues that make for a sane society.

This is a prime example of money in politics blinding our leadership.

Hence, Rep. Jenkins ends up with a big picture in our local paper labeled as a “champion of health.”

SOMEWHERE OFF THE COAST OF NORTH CAROLINA It wasn’t my

idea to go on a cruise.

One of our best friends is nearing her 25th wedding anniversary — and my wife and I will celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary on Saturday. So they hatched a plan to go on this adventure. In total, 16 of us were setting out on the high seas.

Royal Caribbean’s giant Anthem of the Seas — by some measures, the third-largest cruise ship in the world — left Port Liberty, N.J., on Saturday headed toward stops in Cape Canaveral and the Bahamas.

Shortly after 3 p.m. Sunday, in the lull before the Super Bowl, the captain came over the speakers to tell us that we should plan to stay in our cabins. A storm system, he said, was far worse than had been anticipated.

Over the next several hours, we could feel the wind become more severe. Off our cabin balcony, we looked up — UP! — at huge waves.

“It’s like The Perfect Storm,” my wife said, referring to the George Clooney movie.

NASHUA , N. H .

It’s game time.

In the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, the retail campaigning at town halls and state fairs means a presidential hopeful can run a campaign fueled by little more than hope.

With an early victory, a longshot candidate (think Jimmy Carter in Iowa 1976 and John McCain in New Hampshire 2000) can catch fire, at least for a while. But after those two opening contests, the campaign moves to bigger states and a faster pace that can mercilessly winnow the field.

Win, place or get out of the way: Here’s a look at what each candidate needs to do in Tuesday’s primary.

SANDERS: WIN IN A WALK

ANDREW HARRER, BLOOMBERG

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has led former secretary of State Hillary Clinton in just about every statewide poll in New Hampshire this year, usually by double digits. The Granite State’s independent-minded electorate and its history of rewarding candidates from neighboring states (Sen. Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts won the 1992 primary here, although Bill Clinton won the spin by declaring

MATTHEW CAVANAUGH, GETTY IMAGES

himself the “comeback kid”) makes this a contest that Sanders must win. He has built a formidable fundraising base that has kept him competitive with Clinton in money. But he needs political momentum to propel him through the next set of states, starting with Nevada and South Carolina. Winning in New Hampshire is a start, but it’s just that. A dramatic double-digit victory here in 1984 by Colorado Sen. Gary Hart wasn’t enough to claim the nomination when Walter Mondale battled back in the states that followed.

CLINTON: KEEP IT CLOSE

If Clinton somehow managed to win the New Hampshire primary — as she did in 2008, against the odds, over Barack

Obama — she would go a long way to re-establishing herself as the clear front-runner for the Democratic nomination. Even if she simply narrows the gap with Sanders to, say, single digits, she could help minimize the bump he gets from a victory. During the final days of campaigning here, she already was looking ahead. A quick trip to Flint, Mich., to highlight the water crisis there 48 hours before Granite Staters would be voting was, among other things, a nod to the African-American supporters she’s counting on in South Carolina and on Super Tuesday. The Clinton campaign is now braced for a fight it expects to last into the spring. v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

TERRY BYRNE AND JANET LOEHRKE, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The number of drones potentially flying in U.S. skies has eclipsed the number of piloted aircraft — from Cessnas to Dreamliners, the Federal Aviation Administration said Monday.

More than 325,000 people registered their drones as of Friday, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said. That surpasses the 320,000 piloted aircraft registered with the agency. And the numbers could actually be higher, Huerta said, because one registration covers all the drones a person owns. The average operator has 11⁄2 drones, he said.

The registration numbers show the surging popularity of remote-controlled aircraft, which are flooding airspace already packed with passenger planes and leading to concerns over midair collisions. About 7,000 planes fly in U.S. skies anytime during the day, according to the FAA, along with an untold number of drones.

The FAA began the registration program Dec. 21 to address these safety concerns. All drones owned before then must be registered by Feb. 19. New ones must be registered before the first flight. The rules apply to nearly all owners of remote-controlled aircraft weighing at least 9 ounces.

The FAA receives about 100 reports per month from aircraft pilots who say they spotted drones flying near them, but the remotecontrolled aircraft can be difficult to trace.

With registration, the FAA can track down operators flying dangerously or after a crash. The agency has opened 24 investigations into unsafe or illegal drone operations, Huerta said.

“We won’t hesitate to take strong enforcement actions against anyone who flies unmanned aircraft in an unsafe or illegal manner,” Huerta said.

The Academy of Model Aeronautics, which represents 180,000 hobbyists, argued the registry is burdensome and unnecessary given the group’s members already identify their aircraft.

FAA registrants provide their name, physical address and email address. The credit-card transaction and $5 fee help confirm the person’s identity.

“Safety is at the heart of this new registration system,” Huerta said.

A combination of falling gas prices and the boomlet of higherriding crossovers is forcing automakers to stop making certain passenger cars that don’t generate sufficient sales or profits.

Last month, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne said production of the Dodge Dart compact and Chrysler 200 midsize sedan would stop in the near future.

On Wednesday, Toyota said it would scrap its youth-oriented Scion brand, which targeted

younger consumers with quirky, sometimes cube-shape vehicles.

Scion sales peaked at 173,000 in 2006, and aside from a modest resurgence in 2012, withered to 56,167 in 2015. Remaining stocks of Scion models will be sold as Toyotas for now.

Other manufacturers are shifting small and midsize car produc-

tion to Mexico. Last year, Ford decided to stop building the Focus compact car, the C-Max hybrid and C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid at the Michigan Assembly Plant in 2018, and move it out of the U.S., most likely to Mexico where it already builds the subcompact Fiesta and is consolidating all midsize Fusion

production.

Jack Vintartas of McHenry, Ill., started shopping last fall for a Chevrolet Sonic subcompact.

With a 5-year-old son, his wife reminded him they needed more cargo space. So they bought a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, a compact crossover that competes with such models as Ford Escape,

Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. “My wife felt that especially during winter we’d be a little safer with an SUV-type vehicle,” Vintartas said. “It sits quite a bit higher than a car, and the greater storage space was definitely a plus.”

In January, when Americans bought the same number of new vehicles as they did a year earlier, sales of small cars fell 11.3% while sales of sport wagons and crossovers rose 10.3%. Falling gas prices also have nudged consumers to look at larger vehicles than they may have considered three years ago.

Meet the super rich who are driving the election Analysis: 107 people or groups gave $1M or more Fredreka Schouten and Christopher Schnaars USA TODAY

Nearly half the money pouring into all federal super PACs came from just 107 people or groups that each gave $1 million or more to influence the outcome of this year’s presidential and congressional races, a USA TODAY analysis of new campaign finance reports shows.

Robert Mercer, a publicityaverse hedge fund magnate backing Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s bid for the Republican presidential nomination, has topped giving, contributing $14.1 million to super PACs that can raise and spend unlimited amounts.

Close behind: Tom Steyer, another billionaire who made his fortune running a hedge fund but now uses his money to push an environmental agenda that largely aids Democrats in federal and state elections. Steyer donated $13 million to his own super PAC, NextGen Climate Action Committee.

Republican donors dominate the giving, accounting for 70% of $253.1 million that the mega-doWASHINGTON

nors sent to all super PACs during 2015. Only three Democrats — Steyer and financiers George Soros and S. Donald Sussman — rank among the top 20 super PAC donors so far in 2016 contests.

Most donations from the super-rich are aimed at the presidential race — the first wide-open contest for the White House since 2008. In all, 93 of the megadonors — many with ties to energy companies or Wall Street — directed $183 million to super PACs specifically aligned with presidential contenders.

Toby Neugebauer, an energy investor who donated $10 million to a pro-Cruz super PAC, called Cruz the “most accomplished conservative in the country.” He said more “checks are fixing to come in” from other donors im-

This year marks the second presidential election since a pair of federal court rulings, including the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, allowed corporations, unions and wealthy

individuals to band together and spend unlimited amounts in candidate elections.

The analysis, which examined super PAC donations in 2015, shows a presidential contest fast racing toward the $1 billion mark in fundraising as super PAC donors seek to boost their favorite candidates.

The cash-rich super PACs are fueling record outside spending.

Super PACs and other groups active in the White House contest reported pumping $176 million into advertising, mailers and other independent expenditures reported to the Federal Election Commission as of Friday, a tally by the non-partisan Campaign Finance Institute shows. That’s up from $45 million during the same period in the last presidential race.

Right to Rise, a super PAC supporting former Florida governor Jeb Bush had spent the most — more than $70 million. Despite Right to Rise’s relentless advertising, Bush finished sixth in the Iowa caucuses and ranks fifth in RealClearPolitics average of recent New Hampshire polls.

A group backing Bush’s former protégé, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, ranked second in independent spending through Friday, spending $25.3 million. In third place: America Leads, a super PAC working to boost New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ahead of

Tuesday’s primary in New Hampshire.

New campaign finance reports show some wealthy Democrats have stepped up their super PAC giving during the final half of 2015. Priorities USA Action, a super PAC aligned with Hillary Clinton’s bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, saw its donations increase by more than 60% during the second half of the year — fueled by a $6 million infusion from Soros, and $1.5 million each from several other donors, including Sussman and Haim Saban, a Hollywood mogul best known for his hawkish proIsrael stance and for creating the Power Rangers children’s TV series.

Priorities has spent little on Clinton’s behalf so far, as it marshals its resources for a generalelection battle if Clinton wins the Democratic nomination.

Steyer, despite his enormous wealth and influence in Democratic politics, has refrained from unleashing his money to favor either Clinton or her rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Steyer said his goal is to advance climate change as a top issue, rather than provide an early boost to individual candidates.

“We truly think that our job in this campaign is to elevate the awareness and the significance of clean energy and climate,” Steyer told USA TODAY on Monday.

Presidential hopefuls check their to-do lists hosted by Bloomberg Politics. For one thing, raising money would become increasingly problematic.

Kasich has won newspaper endorsements and cut a distinctive course in the Republican contest, supporting a path to legal status for illegal immigrants and the expansion of Medicaid. So what’s doing “well”? Finishing in the top three would do it.

v CONTINUED FROM 1B

TRUMP: MOVE PAST IOWA

Donald Trump has something to prove: that he can prevail not only in the polls but also at the polls — that is, that his strong standing in surveys can be matched by voters turning out for him on Election Day. That didn’t happen in Iowa, where the realestate mogul led in the dozen statewide surveys leading up to the caucuses but ended up second to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Trump is a more natural fit with the Granite State — evangelical Christians aren’t the political force here that they are in the heartland — and he has been leading by overwhelming margins. In the polls, anyway. Advisers to a rival campaign (that would be Ohio Gov. John Kasich) even suggest a surging challenger (that just could be, well, you know) might be able to edge past Trump. That outcome would be a stunning surprise and a political game changer.

RUBIO: FINISH SECOND

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is following what strategists dub a 3-2-1 strategy: Finish third in Iowa, second in New Hampshire and first in South Carolina. He not only finished third in Iowa but succeeded in having that portrayed as an impressive accomplishment, to the annoyance of Cruz and Trump, who came in ahead of him. A secondplace finish in New Hampshire would bolster Rubio’s claim to be the GOP establishment’s strongest alternative to Trump. He has drawn big and enthusiastic crowds to town halls, but he seemed rattled by attacks from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at

the final debate Saturday. That was a good night for the trio of governors who are jockeying for support from the Republican mainstream. The other two, John Kasich and former Florida governor Jeb Bush, had their best debates to date, and not a moment too soon.

CRUZ: JUST HANG ON

No candidate has less at stake in New Hampshire than Cruz.

He won the Iowa caucuses and has built formidable organizations in South Carolina and Super Tuesday states, especially across the South. His religious-tinged message and fierce conservatism is likely to resonate better there than in the Granite State, where votes from independents can moderate the electorate in the GOP primary. A second-place finish could bruise Rubio and

help Cruz cast the nomination battle as a two-man race between him and Trump, but the Texas senator is poised to campaign into future states no matter what happens here. And a muddled finish by his more mainstream rivals — Rubio and the trio of current and former governors — could be helpful if it encourages all of them to stay in the race, splintering that vote in the next set of contests.

KASICH: NOW OR NEVER

Kasich, who brags he has held more than 100 town halls in New Hampshire, doesn’t pretend that his campaign will continue if he doesn’t have a good night Tuesday. “If we don’t do well, we’re not going to be dragging around like some band of minstrels that beg people to come to our shows,” he told reporters at a breakfast

Members of the Bush family running for president have been able to count on South Carolina.

After Arizona senator McCain defeated George W. Bush by double digits in New Hampshire in 2000, the then-Texas governor roared back in South Carolina. George H.W. Bush helped steady his campaigns in 1988 and 1992 with victories in the primary there. Now Jeb Bush, who has been more successful raising money than attracting votes this year, hopes his campaign could score a turnaround there. He needs one: He finished a distant sixth in Iowa and is running fifth — a close fifth, but still fifth — in the RealClearPolitics average of New Hampshire surveys.

CHRISTIE: A CLOSING SURGE

The New Jersey governor was the most forceful figure on stage at Saturday’s final debate, mocking Rubio as a neophyte who memorized talking points and lacked the executive experience a president needs. That rattled Rubio, but it didn’t necessarily elevate Christie among voters.

ment before the Super Bowl indicated that the crew was struggling to turn the Anthem into the path of the storm. He said the winds were in excess of 100 mph and the waves were 20 to 30 feet high.

I’m no sailor. I know nothing about the seas. It’s possible we were never in any real danger.

But the announcements did little to ease our sense of dread.

Just after kickoff, the very nervous-sounding cruise director came over the loudspeaker. He used words like “severe” and “some damage.”

He never said “don’t worry” or “we’re safe.” His most hopeful statement: “We’re doing OK.” I’m not going to lie: I was terrified. The ship rocked side to side — sometimes hanging at an incline longer than seemed safe.

Large noises came from within the ship. We heard crewmembers run through the hallway.

Our small son was with us. We each held one of his hands. He was blissfully unaware of our fears. We tried to focus on the Super Bowl. Despite the raging

storm, we never lost the TV signal. My wife and I said little. At one point, I told her I was scared and that I loved her as the ship seemed to tip a bit too far.

One mistake I made was looking on Twitter. There were pictures of flooded hallways and damaged ceilings. Several passengers had tweeted rumors that the ship was sinking. I didn’t really believe that, but it added to my anxiety. I didn’t tell my wife what I had seen. And I stayed off social media the rest of the night.

About 10 p.m., the captain’s voice returned. He sounded much

more confident. They had turned the ship into the storm and were holding position. The seas had improved, the captain assured us.

Throughout the night, as far as I could tell, there was no panic.

Most guests stayed in their rooms. At sea, the unexpected can happen — and I have nothing but respect for the crew of the Anthem. As we neared midnight, the rocking was starting to subside.

My wife and I relaxed enough to begin to drift off to sleep.

When we awoke, the sun was out. The seas were calm. As we walked around, most of the pas-

CARSON: A MIRACLE

The most unlikely candidate in the presidential field — a retired pediatric neurosurgeon who had never run for office before — was briefly the front-runner for the Republican nomination. But that was last fall, and since then Ben Carson has seen his standing tumble and his organization falter. “I’m still here,” he declared at Saturday’s debate. But without something akin to divine intervention, he’s no longer likely to be much of a factor.

FIORINA: SEE YOU LATER?

Carly Fiorina’s political plight was underscored when her low poll standing meant the former Hewlett-Packard CEO didn’t qualify for the debate stage Saturday. But supporters hope her relentless attacks on Clinton just might make her a contender for the vice presidential slot down the road.

SEEING ‘A NEW HUMAN TRAGEDY’

Amid talks with Germany, Turkish leader tries to stem growing migrant crisis

Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

BERLIN At least 27 people drowned Monday trying to reach Greece from Turkey as German Chancellor Angela Merkel held talks in Ankara with Turkey’s leadership over how to reduce the influx of migrants headed to Europe.

Merkel traveled to the Turkish capital for talks with Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The leaders agreed to take steps to try to stem the flow of Syrian refugees crossing Turkey’s territory by appealing for greater cooperation from NATO. The security alliance has useful

monitoring capabilities on the Syrian border and in the Aegean Sea, Davutoglu said.

Merkel said she would renew pressure on the United Nations to keep a resolution passed in December that calls for all sides in Syria’s 5-year-old war to halt attacks on civilians. “We have been, in the past few days, not just appalled but horrified by what has been caused in the way of human suffering for tens of thousands of people by bombing — bombing primarily from the Russian side,” she said in Turkey.

“Under such circumstances, it’s hard for peace talks to take place, and so this situation must be brought to an end quickly,” Merkel said.

Syrian President Bashar As-

“The conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic continues to intensify, subjecting civilians ... to ... war crimes.”

sad’s military forces, backed by Russian airstrikes, launched an offensive last week to retake the Syrian city of Aleppo from rebel control. That effort has added pressure on Turkey as thousands of fleeing Syrians have amassed on its border. About 2.5 million Syrian refugees are already in Turkey.

Davutoglu said Aleppo “is de facto under siege. We are on the verge of a new human tragedy.”

The Turkish border crossing of Oncupinar, opposite the Syrian Bab al-Salameh gate, remained closed Monday for a fourth day as Turkish authorities provided assistance to the Syrians at a displaced persons camp nearby, the Associated Press reported. It was not clear if or when Turkey would

let the group in, although it has indicated it would.

The European Union previously agreed to a deal with Ankara that would see the political bloc provide more than $3 billion in aid to Turkey to help it better manage its humanitarian response to the crisis A U.N. report published Monday called for urgent action to protect civilians caught up in the Syrian conflict, which has led to the deaths of at least 250,000 people. “With no end in sight, the conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic continues to intensify, subjecting civilians of all backgrounds to crimes against humanity and war crimes,” said the report from a U.N. human rights office.

Carnival revelers celebrate despite the rain during the annual Rose Monday parade in Cologne, Germany. Police are on extra alert this year, particularly in Cologne, because of the New Year’s Eve attacks on women attributed to gangs of migrants.

ISIL WIDOW CHARGED IN U.S. HOSTAGE DEATH

The wife of a now-deceased Islamic State leader was charged Monday in Iraq for her alleged role in last year’s death of American aid worker Kayla Mueller.

Nisreen Assad Ibrahim Bahar, 25, widow of Abu Sayyaf, allegedly conspired to provide support to the terrorist group, often forcibly holding Mueller in the couple’s homes where she was subjected to repeated sexual abuse by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the top leader of the Islamic State, also known as ISIL. Mueller died in February 2015.

Bahar, also known as Umm Sayyaf, “knew how Mueller was treated by Baghdadi when Mueller was held against her will in Sayyaf’s home,” federal prosecutors said. Mueller was kidnapped in 2013 by ISIL soldiers.

Sayyaf is being held on terrorrelated charges in Iraq. “We fully support the Iraqi prosecution of Sayyaf,” Assistant Attorney General John Carlin said. If convicted, Sayyaf faces a maximum penalty of life in prison.

— Kevin Johnson OBAMA SEEKS $1.8 BILLION IN EMERGENCY ZIKA FUNDING

President Obama will ask Congress for $1.8 billion in emergency funding to combat the Zika

virus through mosquito control programs, vaccine research, education and improving health care for low-income pregnant women, the White House said Monday.

The new request comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that its emergency operations center has been put on a “Level 1” status — its highest level of activation — because of the Zika outbreak.

The CDC has only put its operations center at Level 1 three times in the past: during the Ebola outbreak in 2014; during the H1N1 pandemic in 2009; and after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The proposal includes $355 million in foreign aid to South America, Central America, the Caribbean, where the Zika virus is spreading most rapidly.

The World Health Organization declared an international public health emergency last week, warning that the mosquitoborne virus is strongly suspected as the cause of a cluster of neurological disorders that afflicts the babies of pregnant women with the virus.

— Gregory Korte BLOOMBERG CONFIRMS HE’S CONSIDERING BID

Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg upped the buzz-factor on a potential presidential run Monday.

He confirmed to the Financial Times that he is “looking at all options” when it came to a 2016 White House bid. “I find the level of discourse and discussion distressingly banal and an outrage and an insult to the voters,” he said, adding that the American public deserved “a lot better.”

The New York Times reported last month that the media mogul had asked his advisers to draw up plans for a potential run as an independent candidate. Bloomberg told FT that he would have to make a decision by March.

If he does decide to run, many analysts have said, it could turn the race on its head. More than Donald Trump already has.

Two winter storms battering the East Coast and the Midwest snarled traffic on Monday and threatened to cause havoc for Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary election.

The East Coast storm dumped heavy snow on much of New England and lashed coastal areas from the Mid-Atlantic to Maine with winds and pounding surf.

In the Midwest, a storm brought winds and blizzard conditions to parts of Iowa and Minnesota, the National Weather Service said. Winds that gusted to more than 60 mph led to whiteout conditions.

IRA faction claims Dublin hotel shooting 1 killed during raid ahead of boxing event Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

LONDON A faction of the Irish Republican Army claimed responsibility Monday for shooting a man to death at a hotel in Dublin and injuring two others, the BBC reported.

An unnamed man who said he spoke on behalf of the Continuity IRA told the British broadcaster that the group was responsible for Friday’s incident at the Regency Hotel. His claim couldn’t be independently verified.

Irish media identified the dead man as David Byrne, 33. The hotel was hosting a weigh-in for a boxing tournament when at least six attackers, some disguised as police officers, opened fire with semiautomatic weapons, police said.

The Continuity IRA said Byrne

was targeted because he was involved in the shooting death of Alan Ryan, a member of another dissident group — the Real IRA — in 2012, the BBC reported. The group said more attacks were planned on drug dealers and other criminals, the broadcaster reported.

Irish state broadcaster RTÉ said 200 to 300 people were at the weigh-in ahead of the World Boxing Organization European Lightweight title fight. WBO canceled the fight, which had been scheduled for Saturday.

The IRA’s roots trace back to the war of independence that led to Ireland’s partition. It has had a number of factions and splinter groups, including the Provisional IRA and Real IRA. The Continuity IRA is opposed to the peace process in place since the 1990s and rejects decommissioning of weapons, according to TRAC, a terrorism research organization.

Whitmore declined to give any further details about the affected employees, including how many of them there are or what sort of cancer they have.

Dow cuts 400-point loss in half, but damage done as crude falls below $30 Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Wall Street endured another dramatic day as the Dow more than halved a 400-point drop amid a fresh slide in oil prices below the key $30-per-barrel mark and continued fears about slowing global growth.

The rocky start to 2016 for stocks is continuing as investors contend with well-known yet persistent headwinds ranging from continued price declines in the oil patch, concerns about the impact of China’s slowing growth on the U.S. and other world economies, and questions surrounding the pace — and timing — of interest rate hikes from the U.S. Federal Reserve.

The Dow Jones industrial average had lost as much as 401 points Monday before climbing off those lows and registering a 178-point drop at the end of the trading day, closing down 1.1% at 16,027.

“The U.S. is facing 3rd down and long.

The expansion remains intact, but economic indicators are signaling mounting weakness on the margin.”

Unfortunately, these kind of drops are not uncommon for the Dow in what has been a volatile 2016. The Dow had been on track for its worst point loss since a nearly 391-point plunge Jan. 15.

The Nasdaq composite index fell deeper into levels not seen since 2014, falling 1.8% to 4,284.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index shed 1.4%.

In an attempt to avoid the rout in stocks, investors flocked to the perceived haven of long-term U.S. government bonds, which saw a price jump, but which sent yields, which move in the opposite direction, down to levels last seen in February 2015. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell below 1.75%.

Gold, another haven in tough times, gained 2.9%.

Markets are in a state of confusion after a mixed U.S. jobs report Friday.

The MSCI Europe index, a broad measure of large and midsized stocks in 16 European nations, dropped 1% Monday, capping what has been a brutal period of destruction. The MSCI Europe index is now down 20.5% from its highest point over the past 12 months, says S&P Global Market Intelligence, placing it in the 20% decline that unofficially defines a bear market.

Europe’s stock implosion makes the U.S. sell-off look like child’s play. The U.S.-centric Standard & Poor’s 500 on Monday fell another 1.4% — but it’s only down 13% from its high.

Some individual European markets are getting hit even harder.

A trader for the German stock index DAX sweats it out Monday in Frankfurt.

indexes are off 29%, 23% and 20% from their 52-week highs, respectively, as investors fear the worst could be headed for the Old World.

European stocks are getting hit hard because investors know banks there “are not as well capitalized as U.S banks at a time of rising global credit stress related to plunging world oil prices,” Joe Quinlan, chief market strategist at U.S. Trust told USA TODAY. European central banks’ moves to cut some interest rates so low they’re negative “is ominous for bank profits,” Quinlan says.

Chesapeake says it ‘has no plans’ to pursue bankruptcy Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Chesapeake Energy said the U.S. natural gas giant has no plans to seek bankruptcy protection, contradicting a report that sent the company’s shares plunging Monday.

“Chesapeake currently has no plans to pursue bankruptcy and is aggressively seeking to maximize value for all shareholders,” the Oklahoma City-based company said.

The statement rebutted a Debtwire report Friday that said Chesapeake recently brought

on restructuring attorneys from the Kirkland & Ellis law firm “to discuss balance sheet solutions” as the nation’s second-largest natural gas producer tries to cope with the decline in commodity prices.

The law firm has served as one of Chesapeake’s counsels since 2010 “and continues to advise the company as it seeks to further strengthen its balance sheet,” the company said.

The announcement helped stage a partial recovery from an intra-day Monday plunge that sent the shares as low as $1.51 — a more than 50% drop.

Chesapeake shares closed down $1.02, or 33.33%, at $2.04.

Anxious traders on Wall Street don’t know whether they are coming or going.

lar, the rout in the energy and commodity space and slowing growth around the globe.

Wall Street will be closely watching Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s two-day testimony before Congress starting Wednesday, as well as other comments from other Fed members this week, says Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management.

“Their comments will be parsed for clues regarding any action at the March meeting and the path of any future rate hikes,” Stone told clients in a note before the start of trading. He also noted that investors are worried about further drops in the value of the Chinese yuan, following news that Beijing’s foreign exchange reserves fell another $99.4 billion to $3.2 trillion in January.

Oil prices fell sharply again Monday, with U.S.-produced crude down almost 3% to less than $30 a barrel.

Wall Street is still debating whether the current stock market downturn is simply a serious price correction, defined as a drop of 10% but less than 20%, or the beginning stages of an official bear market, defined as a drop of more than 20% for major indexes such as the Dow and S&P 500.

At Monday’s close, the S&P is 13.0% off its high. The Nasdaq is off 18.0% and getting closer to a bear market drop of 20%.

The Nasdaq composite is now flirting with a bear market, as it started Monday down 16.4% from its late July record close. The small-cap Russell 2000 is already in bear-market territory, down 25% from its June 2015 peak.

Ari Wald, a technical analyst at Oppenheimer, says “caution remains warranted” amid the market’s current struggles. He says the stock market and S&P 500 are either building a base for a short-term rally back up to the 1,965 area or moving lower toward what he predicts is a level of roughly 1,740, or more than 6% lower than Monday’s close.

University of Phoenix to go private Parent company cites shrinking enrollment, revenue in $1.1B sale Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

The corporate parent of the for-profit University of Phoenix will go private in a sale to a group of investors amid shrinking enrollment and revenue.

A group of investors — including The Vistria Group, Apollo Global Management affiliates and Najafi Companies — agreed to acquire the publicly traded Apollo Education Group in a $1.1 billion deal. Apollo Education will become a privately run company in

THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC

Apollo Education Group shares rose 24% Monday to $8.62.

a deal expected to close in August, pending regulatory approvals.

Former U.S. Department of Education deputy secretary Tony Miller, who is partner and chief operating officer of The Vistria Group, will become chairman.

The deal comes as the University of Phoenix grapples with

plunging interest in its courses.

The school’s average degreed enrollment fell 20% to 183,800 in the quarter ended Nov. 30, compared with the same period a year earlier. Net revenue for Apollo Education Group declined 18% during the same period to $586 million, and the company swung from a profit of $34 million to a loss of $61 million.

“This new structure will allow Apollo Education Group the flexibility and runway it needs to complete the transformational plan at University of Phoenix, which will enable us to serve our students more effectively during a period of unprecedented volatility within our industry,” Apollo Education Group CEO Greg Cappelli said in a statement. “We will also continue to expand our in-

ternational operations and remain committed to driving principles of operating excellence.”

The deal values Apollo Education Group at $9.50 per share, representing a 30% premium over the average price for the 30day period ended Friday. Shares rose 24% Monday to close at $8.62.

The agreement also comes as the company is under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission for potentially unfair or deceptive business practices.

Miller, who served in the State Department during President Obama’s first term, said the University of Phoenix can thrive as a “leading provider of quality higher education for working adults” operating with the “highest ethical standards.”

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

The tech wreck circa 2016 has put the technology-dominated Nasdaq composite within striking distance of a bear market.

After Monday’s tech rout, which dragged the Nasdaq down nearly 2%, the stock index, still best known for its meltdown in 2000 when the Internet stock bubble burst, is down 17.9% from its July 20, 2015, closing peak of 5,218.86. That drop is far worse than the descent suffered by the benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index, which is down 13% from its May peak.

The general definition of a bear market is a decline of 20% or more from a prior record.

Once again, the once high-flying Nasdaq is being repriced low-

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

er in a major way after a heady run-up. The Nasdaq has outperformed the S&P 500 for the past three years, posting gains of 38.3% in 2013, 13.4% in 2014 and 5.7% last year, when the S&P 500 declined about 1%.

The fall, once again, is being attributed to pricey tech stocks getting reappraised at lower prices by stock buyers.

Indeed, much of the pain is being felt by last year’s tech names that led the Nasdaq charge higher. In just the past two trading days, for example, Facebook has tumbled 9.7%, Amazon.com is off 9%, Netflix is down 7.1% and Google parent Alphabet is off more than 4%.

It often is said that bear markets gain steam when ex-market leaders finally getting taken down. Well, last year’s best are now badly injured and vulnerable to one final bear attack.

Falling prices often indicate other problems Q: Why is cheap oil bad for stocks?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Cheap oil on its face should be a boon for companies. Oil, one of the key raw materials used in many industries and a major cost for consumers, has seen its price drop roughly 70% in the past 12 months. That’s a big-time price break for anyone who consumes oil, which might seem to help the economy and stock market, not hurt it.

But instead, stocks routinely fall on days that oil prices drop. There are direct and indirect reasons why. Energy accounts for about 7% of the Standard & Poor’s 500. When energy stocks crater, that’s an anchor on the market. Keep in mind, too, energy profits are expected to fall 70% in the fourth quarter, which is a major reason why S&P 500 earnings are expected to drop 5%, S&P Capital IQ says.

There are indirect reasons why stock traders don’t like to see falling oil prices, too. There’s a concern weak oil prices could result in higher defaults by energy companies. If that happens, some investors fear about loans banks made to energy companies. Investors are also worried the rapid drop in the price of oil — a key commodity — is signaling something about the global economy. Energy experts, though, insist oil demand is stable. If that changes, investors fear oil prices are a tipoff for a slower economy.

Verizon considering bid for some of Yahoo’s assets Mike Snider @MikeSnider USA TODAY

Verizon is considering a bid for Yahoo and reportedly has AOL CEO Tim Armstrong exploring the deal.

The telecommunications giant has given Armstrong, who heads the AOL unit acquired by Verizon in May for $4.4 billion, a chief role in preliminary discussions on a bid for Yahoo’s assets, according to Bloomberg, citing a person close to the situation.

panies have happened, and Verizon has not hired bankers to formalize an offer, Bloomberg reported.

Shares of Verizon closed down 0.45% to $50.74 on Monday, while Yahoo fell 3.3% to

$27.05.

Verizon chairman and CEO Lowell McAdam on Friday told CNBC’s Jim Cramer that Verizon is considering a bid for Yahoo. “At

the right price, I think marrying up some of their assets with AOL under Tim Armstrong’s leadership would be a good thing for investors,” McAdam told Cramer.

Verizon acquired AOL in part for its online advertising technology, which Verizon can use online and on mobile video services. Yahoo, too, has valuable ad technology for online and mobile services, as well as popular online content such as Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance and Tumblr, acquired in 2013 for $1.1 billion.

In October 2015, Verizon launched its free ad-supported go90 mobile video service that

“At the right price, I think marrying up some of their assets with AOL under Tim Armstrong’s leadership would be a good thing for investors.”

streams TV, sports and other content to smartphones and mobile devices.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and Armstrong both were executives at Google before taking their cur-

rent jobs. Armstrong talked with Mayer in 2014 about the potential of combining AOL and Yahoo at the Allen & Co. media conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, according to another person familiar with the situation who spoke to Bloomberg.

Last week, Mayer and Yahoo chairman Maynard Webb announced a revitalization plan that includes the option to sell some or all of the company’s core Web advertising and media business among the “additional strategic alternatives” it is exploring.

Yahoo and Verizon declined to comment on the situation.

CELEBRITY BIRTHDAYS WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY

NASHVILLE Vince Gill has sung with, picked for or produced pretty much every worthy artist in Nashville over the past 30-plus years. Long before his election to the Country Music Hall of Fame, before the first of his more than 26 million album sales and 20 Grammy Awards, Gill left his Oklahoma home at 18, not to seek stardom but simply to play with artists he admired.

“That was actually what I aspired to do,” Gill says. “I had just as much interest in being a session player and singer as I did to be an artist. I still do. It’s a much harder job.

“When you have to follow what somebody else is doing, that’s harder than you doing what you do and everybody having to support you. To me, that’s more of a testament to talent than fame.”

Gill’s talents as a singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer shine on his latest album, Down To My Last Bad Habit, out Friday.

It’s a diverse collection, tapping gritty blues on the swaggering Make You Feel Real Good, evoking Fleetwood Mac with help from Little Big Town’s harmonies on Take Me Down and dipping down into the warm bath of traditional country on Sad One Comin’ On (A Song For George Jones).

Every note, whether sung or strummed, bears the Gill brand: soulful yet sophisticated, emotionally raw yet gleaming with studio polish.

“All this is is where I am today,” he says, shrugging.

“People always say their newest album is the best they’ve ever made. That should be the case. You should get better at this. So hopefully, this is the best record I’ve ever done. My ears do tell me I’m singing better than I ever have, playing better than ever and writing better songs.”

Gill sees Down To My Last Bad Habit as a marker of how his thoughts about music have changed.

“There isn’t much country music on it, except for the last song,” Gill says. “Truthfully,

JIM WRIGHT

there’s not much of a traditional element anymore at all in the country element. I, for one, miss it.

“My perspective at nearly 59 years old is different than it was when I was a 25-year-old kid. So these songs are different. They’re age-appropriate. I would also say they’re more honest. There’s a song on there, One More Mistake I Made: I’m really compelled by

the lyric and even more by the fact that my 14-year-old daughter, Corrina, is singing with me from her point in life and seeing her dad be able to admit to his failures. That’s a powerful song, with each of us singing from our own perspectives.”

Here, in his home studio, Gill is surrounded by reminders of his accomplishments. Awards fill his shelves. Guitars, dozens of them, hang neatly arranged along several walls. What’s more important, though, are the things that can’t be displayed. These Gill carries internally, in and beyond his work.

“You know, a handful of my heroes are still around, so in some part of my life I still feel like a kid,” he says with a smile. “But not as much as before. Little by little, all of our heroes are going on to the other side. But I watched them enough to know

what it means to be welcoming and gracious.”

Little Jimmy Dickens inspired Gill the most. Gill shifts to present tense, as if his friend were still alive. “He may not want to hear you go up there and thrash away with whatever music you’ve got going on. But he’s going to make you feel welcome. He’s going to be kind to you. So I’m not going to be that naysayer guy who goes, ‘You’re not as good as we used to be.’ There’s no point to that. You can be supportive and encouraging. That’s all any of us ever want.”

He leans forward, emphasizing his words.

“To all of us who got good enough and learned to play well enough and write songs well enough to get an opportunity, we did it because we loved it. If you ever lose sight of that, that’s when you’re in trouble.”

For fans of The Good Wife, the beginning of the end starts Sunday.

The CBS series has called it quits after seven seasons and announced that the next nine episodes will be its last in dramatic fashion: in a Super Bowl promo.

And while questions about whether the show would continue surfaced earlier this season after husband-and-wife creating team Robert and Michelle King announced they would exit in May, CBS programming chief Glenn Geller said last month that their departure wouldn’t necessarily influence whether the show would continue.

Many of the stars’ contracts were due to expire this year, adding fuel to the speculation about the drama’s fate. Among them: Julianna Margulies, who has won two Emmys for her portrayal of attorney and Chicago politician’s wife Alicia Florrick.

When The Good Wife (Sun-

After Peter was sent to prison, Alicia entered the workforce as a junior partner at a law firm where Will Gardner (Josh Charles), her former law school lover, was a partner. Fans were hooked into the rough ride ahead as Alicia navigated cases, trials and personal drama.

When the show started, the

Kings had the idea that “it would only go 13 episodes, because that is the only thing we’d ever done before that,” Robert King said Monday. Once it launched, “that’s when we started thinking in terms of what was the full story we wanted to tell and how long we wanted to tell it.”

The Kings came to realize “that the show could only really support — and the story of Alicia Florrick could only support — seven years, so we started to build toward that,” Robert says.

Don’t look for any flash-forwards to show what happens to

Alicia. “We’re trying to make (the ending) fit seamlessly with what’s come before, and we haven’t typically structured this show that way,” Michelle says.

And while the Kings expect familiar guest stars to return in the final episodes, they won’t say who. “It’s not going to be exactly the end of Seinfeld in that way,” Robert says. “We just kind of want to get in a little bit of checkin with characters we’ve seen.”

Just don’t look for Archie Panjabi, who played investigator Kalinda Sharma, or Mike Colter, who played drug kingpin Lemond Bishop.

And while the show may have continued even without the Kings, Michelle says, “everybody came to the same decision: To be able to go all together is what we all wanted.”

Adds Robert: “We’re ending the show because it really should be a show that is ended. ... A character shouldn’t kind of be pushed from year to year and made to go through paces because someone has to make money. It’s lovely that CBS will allow it to end.”

The series finale will air May 8, but the husband-and-wife producers are already working on BrainDead, a new CBS drama due this summer.

YOUR HEALTH YOUR COMMUNITY YOUR STORY

Are you following these seven steps to better health?

By Aynsley Anderson Sosinski Lawrence Memorial Hospital

The Roman poet Virgil said it best centuries ago: “The greatest wealth is health.” We probably know what we all should be doing to improve and maintain our health. Although genetics plays a role in some health conditions, there are many simple actions you can take daily to prevent them from occurring.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital offers health education

programs to help community members lead healthier lifestyles, such as the twopart Wellness Works class scheduled for Feb. 17 and 24 at the LMH Performance and Wellness Center at Sports Pavilion Lawrence, 100 Rock Chalk Lane.

The American Heart Association has identified seven important strategies, known as “Life’s Simple Seven,” to maintain and improve overall health, including your heart health:

1. Get active. Nearly 70 percent of Americans do not get the recommended amount of physical activity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends healthy adults get a minimum of 150 minutes a week of moderately vigorous aerobic activity, such as brisk walking. To achieve weight

loss or improve cardiovascular function, 300 minutes a week is recommended. In addition, adults should engage in both strength and flexibility exercises a few times each week.

2. Control cholesterol. High cholesterol usually has no symptoms; a blood test is the only way to know your cholesterol levels. The AHA recommends healthy adults with no heart disease risk factors have their cholesterol levels checked at least every five years. Talk with your health care provider

‘It’s something that people don’t take enough time to consider’

as to how often you should have a fasting lipid (cholesterol) profile. A finger stick full cholesterol profile screening is offered monthly by LMH. 3. Eat better. Consuming a healthy diet is one of the ways to prevent heart disease as well as many other diseases.

A heart-healthy diet focuses on foods high in whole grains, fiber, lean protein, and with lots of colorful fruits and vegetables. It limits foods high Please see STEPS, page 2C

KU students have bands’ ears covered

By Caroline Boyer Twitter: @WellCommons

Shawnee — When Nicole Denney was a member of the Shawnee Mission Northwest marching band prior to graduating in 2009, she saw the effects of being around up to 155 students playing their instruments.

“I specifically remember when we’d have our indoor practices, we would (take a break) every hour, and my ears would be ringing a lot,” she said. “I played the flute, so we sat in the front. All of the sound from everyone was coming straight to us, and it was very, very loud.”

“Just walking in, we were amazed at how loud it was,” she said.

But the trio was bringing the band members some relief — as members of the KU chapter of the Student Academy of Audiology, they were providing high-quality earplugs at an extremely discounted price for band members through the Adopt-A-Band program, sponsored by Etymotic Research Inc. Denney, who is the president of the KU SAA chapter, said she learned about Adopt-A-Band through her hearing conservation class at KU Med and applied for a grant so the chapter could work with local schools. Many members of the chapter are former high school band members, she said, so they knew how important ear protection is, and Northwest was a natural place to start — though they hope to spread the program to other schools.

Stoops noted that without these skin cancer screenings, he’s not sure his friends would ever have known to visit their doctors.

Screening

.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Who should get screened for skin cancer?

Brooke Groneman, outreach director of the Midwest Cancer Alliance, said when to start screenings depends on several factors: l Family history. If your family has a history of skin cancer or melanomas, Groneman said, you should start getting screened earlier. l Sun exposure and sunburn history. The more sun exposure and damage your skin has suffered, the higher your risk of developing skin cancer. According to the Mayo Clinic, having had one or more blistering sunburns as a child or teenager also increases the risk. l Fair skin. Although anyone can get skin cancer, having less melanin — or pigment — in your skin means you have less protection from UV radiation, according to the Mayo Clinic.

said. “This is something we found is not available in a lot of the rural communities, so through the Masonic Foundation and KU, we’re able to provide that service.”

He said Palmyra Lodge No. 23 applied to have the screenings held in Baldwin City, and although the lodge plans to apply again next year, screenings are rotated so they may be given to a Lawrence or Gardner lodge instead.

According to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is the most common of all cancers, with about 3.5 million diagnoses in the U.S. each year.

How often should people get screened?

Groneman said people should get yearly skin cancer screenings “to have kind of a record of any changes, anything that’s changing on their skin.”

What should I expect at a screening?

A dermatologist will examine your skin for anything that looks abnormal or is changing in size, shape or color, Groneman said.

From the initial screening, the dermatologist will recommend their next step: either visiting your primary care physician to follow up, or just getting screened again next year.

Ears CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Penny Snead, Northwest’s band director, said students need to pay more attention to protecting their hearing.

“I always ask kids, when I work with my younger kids, ‘What do you think the hardest part of my job is,’” she said. “And the punch line is that the hardest part of my job is the volume of sound that I have to listen to every day.

And it doesn’t matter that some of it is wonderful sound.”

Lauren Mann, a clinical assistant professor in KU’s audiology program, explained that 85 decibels is considered damaging if a person is around the noise for eight hours or more.

For every three decibels over 85, the amount of safe exposure time is reduced by half. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates a typical band class produces about 90 decibels, and the recommended daily exposure limit is two hours.

And at the 115 decibels a marching band can produce, students not wearing earplugs reach their daily exposure limit within 30 seconds.

While some band members may have already had professionallevel earplugs, many may try use the type that can be purchased in the drug store, but they are typically one-sizefits-all and don’t always fit or stay in very well.

They also aren’t optimal for musicians, who need to hear the different tones in music.

“What ends up happening is it sounds like you’re in a tunnel, so it’s difficult to hear,” Denney said of the

in saturated and trans fats, sodium and added sugars.

4. Manage blood pressure. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a major risk factor for stroke, heart and kidney disease. It too usually has no symptoms. Talk with your health care provider as to how often you should have your blood pressure checked.

LMH frequently offers free blood pressure screenings at community events.

5. Lose weight. More than two-thirds of American adults are overweight, with one-third considered obese. Being overweight or obese is a risk factor for hypertension, high cholesterol and diabetes, plus many other diseases. If you need to lose weight, start with the goal of trying to lose just 5 percent or 10 percent of your body weight. Once there, reset your goal and keep moving forward. Improving diet, reducing calories, and increasing exercise and daily activity are the ways to successful and permanent weight loss.

Visit the Health Library at lmh.org for helpful weight management

information. At supertracker.usda.gov, you will find a free tool to help you track food intake and activity, as well as weight loss information.

6. Reduce blood sugar. Having an elevated fasting blood sugar may indicate prediabetes or diabetes. Diabetes is also a risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease. See your health care provider as to how often you should have your blood sugar level tested, and if it is elevated, whether you need prescription medication to help keep it under control. The LMH Diabetes Education Center has certified diabetes educators to help educate those with diabetes on successful management of their disease. A physician referral is required.

A free monthly support and education group for those with diabetes is offered at 6 p.m. on the second Wednesday with a new discussion topic each month. They also offer a free quarterly class about controlling or preventing prediabetes.

7. Stop smoking.

Smoking is considered the leading cause of premature death for Americans. Smoking can damage the entire circulatory system and significantly increase the risk for heart attack, stroke and peripheral artery disease.

Smoking can reduce good cholesterol, trigger heart arrhythmias and diminish lung capacity.

Even nicotine from ecigarettes or other forms of tobacco may damage heart cells and vessels.

For free advice, contact the Kansas Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-QUITNOW or KSquit.org. Or plan to attend the next free Steps to Successfully Quitting Smoking class offered by LMH at 6:30 p.m. on March 31 at the LMH Performance and Wellness Center.

Visit the LMH website for more information about screenings and programs to help you lead a healthy lifestyle.

Enroll in classes at lmh. org or call LMH Connect Care at 785-505-5800.

If you want to learn more about cardiovascular disease including prevention, diagnosis and treatment information, or have your blood pressure, cholesterol or blood sugar tested, plan to attend the annual LMH Healthy Hearts Fair from 8 to 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 20.

The ETY High Fidelity Earplugs reduce sounds by about 20 decibels at all frequencies and mimic a more natural frequency response.

“So you actually hear better,” Denney said.

“They’ll be able to hear the nuances in individual instruments better.

You’re protected, but you can still hear.”

The normally $20 earplugs were only $5 for the 80 students who purchased them through the Adopt-A-Band program.

Additionally, Snead

With the fall-semester marching band class over for this school year, Snead said it will now be important for students to be religious about wearing the earplugs next year.

“It’s also a matter of discipline; you have to make yourself use them,” she said. “I do fully believe that when we get back into marching season next year, that we will be good about wearing them.”

Dear Annie: I am the youngest sister of 10 siblings. Over the years, five siblings have died. You’d think we would try to be closer after such awful losses.

So when does the bullying stop?

I have tried to be an upstanding sister and aunt, but no matter how much I contribute my money, time and empathy, they think it’s OK to belittle me and encourage their kids and friends to do the same. I never talk trash about my sisters. Actually, I speak very highly of them in front of and behind their backs.

They do not return the favor.

I’ve put up with the “little sister syndrome” for decades and am quite tired of it. It’s worse when they get their friends to gang up on me. At last year’s

Double the courtroom drama How many “Crimes of the Century” took place in the 20th century? Fans of such epochdefining crimes and trials are in luck tonight.

The exquisitely entertaining “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” (9 p.m., FX, TV-MA) returns for a second episode. Tonight we revisit the infamous Bronco ride, the event that all but defined the first phase of this trial and media circus.

Meanwhile, “American Experience” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-14, check local listings) revisits the Leopold and Loeb murder trial of 1924. “Perfect Crime” recalls how two supremely gifted and precocious students from the most privileged backgrounds murdered a 14-year-old neighborhood boy, just for the “thrill” of pulling off a perfect crime.

Quickly captured and broken under interrogation, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb would take peculiar pride in confessing their elaborate plot.

Obviously guilty and completely without remorse, they were tried and convicted on the front pages of every paper in America. They seemed assured of a trip to the gallows.

Like the O.J. story, the Leopold and Loeb affair was not so much about guilt or innocence, but about how the crime was held up as a mirror of its time.

The 1994-95 Simpson saga reverberated with questions of racism, misogyny, media and celebrity. Contemporary pundits saw the Chicago killings as an indictment of Jazz Age immorality, of flaming youth immolated by fast times, “overeducation” and easy pleasures.

And both stories come down to legal strategies. While the “Dream Team” segment of the FX drama is yet to come, “Perfect Crime” dwells on the tactics of Leopold and Loeb’s lawyer, Clarence Darrow. His decision to have his clients plead guilty shocked everyone, most notably the Chicago prosecutor who thought a long case would make his career.

In the end, Darrow was arguing not so much to save the “thrillkill teens” but to end the death penalty itself, a form of punishment that Darrow and many others considered barbaric.

As with its earlier segment on Bonnie and Clyde, “American Experience” ignores Leopold and Loeb’s place in popular culture. In movies alone, the story would inspire in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1948 thriller “Rope” as well as the 1959 drama “Compulsion” starring Orson Welles.

Tonight’s other highlights O A question of tactics on “Outsiders” (8 p.m., WGN, TV-14).

O A twit’s brain leaves Liv undernourished on “iZombie” (8 p.m., CW, TV-14).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Feb. 9: This year you have a strong concept of what you want from life. Sometimes being too practical stops you from achieving your full potential. Remember what you want. What your heart wants could be your biggest liability. If you are single, you already might have met someone who could be very special to you. If you are attached, you will have a ball with your sweetie during the next seven months.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++ You might need to slow down a bit and take some personal time for yourself. Tonight: Be a couch potato.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ Friends could make the day busy for you, which might force a reorganization of plans. Tonight: Follow through on a friend’s idea.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ Others will be more impressed with your actions and decisions than they let on. Tonight: In the limelight.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++++ You might decide to combat your overactive imagination through detachment. Tonight: Dream on.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Relate to a loved one directly. You might discover that

things began, but it no longer matters. You get to decide how to handle them now.

Try talking to each sibling individually.

Say that you love and value them, but you are tired of being mocked and hurt. Ask them to be more aware of the way they treat you, so that your remaining years together can be happy and loving. Give them the opportunity to change. But if they are unwilling to work on this, it makes sense for you to see less of them.

The Associated Press Top 25 college basketball poll says West Virginia is the 10th-best team in the nation and third-best in the Big 12, behind No. 3 Oklahoma and No. 6 Kansas.

The Big 12 standings say otherwise. The Mountaineers sit alone atop the conference with an 8-2 record, one game ahead of the Jayhawks, Sooners and Texas.

The first-place standing won’t make West Virginia complacent. That word is not in the vocabulary of hard-driving, rougharound-the-edges coach Bob Huggins, one of the best in the business.

Knicks fire Fisher; Rambis interim Greenburgh, N.Y. — Derek Fisher had just finished a long playing career when Phil Jackson picked him to coach the New York Knicks. Just 11⁄2 seasons later, Jackson decided he needed someone else.

Fisher was fired Monday, with his team having lost five straight and nine of 10 to fall well back in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

“It’s time for us to make a change, turn this team around and move forward and get some wins and keep going down the road we had started here at the beginning of the year,” Jackson said at the team’s practice facility.

Associate head coach Kurt Rambis was promoted to interim head coach at least through the rest of the season. Rambis, like Fisher an ex-Laker player and a former assistant under Jackson, went 56-145 in two seasons as Minnesota’s coach and part of a season leading the Lakers.

The Knicks have fallen to 23-31, dropping Fisher’s overall record to 40-96. Jackson hired Fisher in June 2014, just weeks after Fisher was done playing.

“It’s a huge transition from being a player to a coach at any point in time, let alone the season after you retire from playing. So it was a very difficult situation, regardless of where he coached,” Rambis said.

Super Bowl fans bet a record $132.5 million at Nevada sportsbooks on the 50th version of the game.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board said in its preliminary estimate Monday that Nevada’s 194 sports books kept about 10.1 percent of the wagers, for a total win of $13.3 million.

Denver upset Carolina 24-10 on Sunday in a low-scoring game the Panthers were favored to win by 5.5 points.

The previous record of $119.4 million was set two years ago when Seattle beat Denver 43-8.

The total win that year was the best recorded over the past 10 years, about 16.5 percent or $19.7 million.

He hasn’t played this season after undergoing surgery for a torn labrum in September. He said he expects to be cleared by his doctor for full contact on Feb. 20 and hopes he can make his season debut on Feb. 23 against Ottawa in Eudora’s regularseason finale.

“I’m just doing shooting on the side, doing the defensive stuff, running and all that — everything non-contact,” he said.

“I’m doing all that. Hopefully (cleared) the 20th and see how it feels. Then we’ll go from there.”

At the beginning of his rehab, Ballock could only attempt about 100 shots a day before his shoulder would get tired. A gym rat, Ballock did his best to follow his doctor’s advice.

After some long months, he’s excited about his potential return to the court, especially now that he doesn’t have to worry about recruiting.

“I enjoyed everything about the process,” Ballock said. “I’m blessed to have the opportunities that I had and just see the places I saw and take the visits I took. I’m thrilled to finally make a decision, run with it and hopefully have a good four years at Creighton.”

“It was tough to tell coach (Bill) Self and coach (Norm) Roberts no because they are right up the road,” Ballock said.

“They’re obviously a highlevel program every year.

But I just think I made the right decision — the best decision for myself — so I’m going to roll with it.”

Basking in Super Bowl glow Sunday night was a good night for fans of Kansas University football.

The few hours that made up and followed the Denver Broncos’ 24-10 victory over Carolina in Super Bowl 50 gave KU fans an opportunity to brag on a couple of their own.

Former Jayhawks Chris Harris and Aqib Talib, starting cornerbacks for the Broncos’ dominant defense, played a big role in knocking off the Panthers and delivering the third world championship to Denver.

Sunday’s Denver victory marked the first time since offensive lineman Justin Hartwig won Super Bowl XLIII with the Pittsburgh Steelers that a former Jayhawk stood on top at the end of an NFL season and just the second time ever that a pair of teammates who played their college ball at Kansas won football’s top prize together, joining Don Davis and Rod Jones, who helped St. Louis win Super Bowl XXXVI. Obviously, Talib and Harris winning a Super Bowl does not erase the misery of the past six KU football seasons.

Of course you want Wil- not confirm the report liams (Devin, 17 points, to the Journal-World, as 12 rebounds vs. KU) out they do not comment on there and others out future basketball series there, but I think who- until contracts have been ever is playing well that signed. The Journal-Star day he plays. They are reported the contract had all athletic. They have not yet been signed.

Kansas leads the all-time interchangeable parts.

I know he (Holton) is series 170-71 with a 31-3 adpoint of the press and vantage in the Big 12.

That’s something you have to do against West Virginia because you have to make them pay for extending, and if you don’t make them pay, they just get hungrier and hungrier.�

Nothing motivates junkyard dogs quite like hunger. — Tom Keegan appears on The Drive, Sunday nights on WIBW-TV.
