City OKs tourism-generating grant program

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

After gaining City Commission approval Tuesday, the city will soon solicit CITY COMMISSION applications for its new

$150,000 grant program designed to make Lawrence more of a tourist town.

The city set aside $150,000 in transient guest tax dollars in the 2016 budget to create a grant program to fund events such

as the Free State Festival and the Lawrence Busker Festival — events or activities that enhance Lawrence’s character and generate more sales tax and transient guest tax revenue for the city. Transient

guest tax is the 6 percent tax charged on all overnight hotel stays in Lawrence.

The City Commission unanimously approved

Topeka — Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little told state lawmakers Tuesday that the university’s $350 million Central District development project is critical to KU’s future as a major university, while she and other KU officials gave assurances that the bond-funded projects will save students and taxpayers millions of dollars in the future and will not put the state at financial risk.

“Our science facilities, which were built before we put a man on the moon, are out of date, at best,” Gray-Little said in prepared remarks before the House and Senate budget committees. “At worst, they are obsolete, and the truth is that many high schools have better basic science facilities than we have at the University of Kansas.”

A new science building is only one part of the Central District project, which KU plans to build in an area southeast of Daisy Hill.

Chancellor updates KU community on major happenings

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Construction projects and concerns about future state funding made up a large portion of matters discussed by Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little during a campus update session Tuesday.

About 35 KU community members, nearly all faculty and administrators, attended the informal update and

question-and-answer session with the chancellor in Spooner Hall.

Gray-Little said a look around the campus reveals a lot of significant construction projects.

The planned $350 million Central District redevelopment — in the area west of Naismith Drive — will include a new integrated science building, a new residence hall, a new apartment building slated in part for athletes, a new student union

Center is underway — to name a few projects.

Looking ahead, GrayLittle said, KU will be closely watching the Kansas Legislature because the university depends on the state for important financial support.

“They have a very challenging task in front of them this year,” she said.

She said more will be known when the Legislature wraps up its session in late spring but that there’s always the possibility for budget cuts later in the year, should state revenues not meet projections — such uncertainty making it difficult for KU to fashion a budget.

School of Education Dean Rick Ginsberg said he was concerned about stagnant faculty salaries and asked for the chancellor’s thoughts on how to inform legislators that KU competes nationally to recruit professors.

Given the state’s budget shortfall, Gray-Little said she doesn’t expect additional state dollars for faculty and staff salaries this year, even though some legislators have seemed receptive in theory.

“I’ve had that conversation with some legislators, and they understand and respect and are concerned about this,” she said. “I would say there are some that don’t show in any way they are interested in our competitive-

L awrence J ournal -W orld

ness, so it’s a hard conversation to have.”

She said KU Endowment’s ongoing Far Above fundraising campaign is scheduled to wrap up this summer and that, when the next campaign is launched, she hopes it will include a focus on faculty support.

In other updates, the chancellor said: l The provost search committee has identified and is beginning to review candidates to replace Jeff Vitter, who left KU at the end of 2015 to become chancellor of the University of Mississippi.

“This is a national search,” she said, “meaning we expect to have candidates from around the country as well as internal.” l The Far Above campaign had raised $1.5 billion as of December, exceeding its initial $1.2 billion goal. l At the end of January KU shared online its official Diversity Action Plan, in response to campus discussions on diversity and inclusion. A previously planned general climate survey will be coming this fall. l KU is launching a new branding campaign this semester, led by director of marketing communications Gerald Holland. The Jayhawk, the logo and the font will not change, she said. But the campaign will look for “new and consistent ways to help KU tell a story.”

To fund its $350 million Central District redevelopment project, Kansas University has set up a public-private partnership, known as a “P-3” for short.

An increasing number of universities nationwide are beginning to use such a funding model. Though Wichita State University has used a similar model to construct at least one of its residence halls, KU is the first in Kansas to use this type of P-3. The Kansas Board of Regents gave its approval in November.

Attorney Jeff Gans, special counsel for KU on the Central District project, answered some questions about the KU Campus Development Corporation (KUCDC), newly created to enable the P-3 deal.

Type of entity: The KUCDC is a Kansas nonprofit corporation organized as a Limited Liability Company, or LLC. As a controlled affiliated

The plan also calls for more apartments and residence halls, parking facilities, a new student union building and a utility plant. KU says the projects can be paid for with revenues generated by those facilities as well as tuition from anticipated growth in out-of-state and international student enrollment.

Legislature’s role But several lawmakers said they remain concerned about the way KU is financing the project, and they said the university should have waited to get legislative approval before embarking on a complex funding strategy that involved using a Wisconsin public finance agency to issue $327 million in bonds for the project.

“You had the authority and the legal right; I think that’s granted,” said Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson, R-Andover.

“But was it the best and right thing to do, is what I’m sensing is the consternation of how this came to be.”

KU officials, however, said they have been in constant communication with legislative committees and the Board of Regents since May 2014 when they made their first presentation to the regents.

Bill Feuerborn, a former legislator who now serves on the Board of Regents, said that board was fully briefed on the details of the financing late last year, including the plan to use the Wisconsin agency as the bond issuer, before the regents gave their approval.

Still, Sen. Steve Fitzgerald, R-Leavenworth, asked whether KU ever sought specific legislative approval, or if it believed it needed legislative approval.

“From a legal and technical standpoint, not required,” said Jeff Gans, an attorney representing KU in the project. “Now, should we have gone further and made sure you were comfortable with it and made sure you felt the process was appropriate? Maybe we should have done a lot better.

Obviously we wouldn’t

Board: Five KU administrators make up the KUCDC board. They meet on an as-needed basis, and have met several times already. The administrator positions on the board, followed by the names of the people currently in those positions, are the chancellor, Bernadette Gray-Little; acting provost, Sara Rosen; chief financial officer, Theresa Gordzica; vice provost for administration and finance, Diane Goddard; and vice chancellor for administration and finance at KU Medical Center, David Vranicar.

Other players: The bonds were issued by the Wisconsin Public Finance Authority, and U.S. Bank is the bond trustee in the deal. Edgemoor Infrastruc-

ture and Real Estate LLC, following a request for proposals and negotiations with KU, was selected to oversee development, construction, operations and maintenance of the Central District property — including the lease and sublease between KU and the KUCDC. Dollar figures: According to a project overview from the university, KUCDC borrowed $326.9 million from the Public Finance Authority. The effective interest cost on the bonds is 3.76 percent. KU will use the bond proceeds of $326.9 million and the original issue premiums of $56 million to pay for project development and construction ($350 million), interest costs during construction ($30.8 million) and costs of issuance including the fee paid to the Public Finance Authority ($2.1 million).

During the hearing the woman identified Sanders and testified about his involvement in the robbery.

Sanders, who is currently an inmate at the Douglas County Jail, sat quietly on the side of the courtroom during the hearing. His mother and 3-year-old daughter were also in attendance.

House hears testimony on student restraint bill Topeka (ap) — A House committee heard testimony Tuesday on a bill that would permanently institute the current law on how disruptive students can be restrained and provide more training for school employees.

The Legislature last year passed a law that allows teachers to physically restrain students or put them in seclusion only when they are an imminent threat to themselves or other students and requires parents to be notified on the day students were restrained.

changes made in last year’s law, and that his children’s reading levels have improved because they are spending more time in the classroom now.

“The law you passed last year has brought clarity, focus and a significant impact to families all across Kansas.” Hurla said, adding, “The results are so incredibly positive that it bears repeating.”

The House committee is scheduled to debate the measure Thursday, but chairwoman Connie O’Brien said that might be delayed.

County Commission may OK permit for new soccer complex

Madeline Reed, librarian, Lawrence “Making masks and having a party.”

That law expires in June 2018, so the bill in front of the House Committee on Children and Seniors would make it permanent, as well as prohibit the use of handcuffs or medicine to subdue a student and train staff to prevent secluding or restraining a child.

Topeka parent John Hurla was among several parents who testified in favor of the bill Tuesday.

He said that his children with behavioral issues were being placed in a solitary room less frequently because of the

The Douglas County Commission today will consider a conditionaluse permit for a multifield soccer complex proposed for a site just southeast of Lawrence.

To allow greater opportunity for public comment on the permit, the County Commission has delayed the start of its regular weekly meeting to 6 p.m.

Last month, the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission voted 9-0 to recommend that the Douglas County Commission approve a conditional-use permit for what is to be called Calcio Village. The soccer complex is to be built on 80 acres at the northeast corner of North 1300

Road and East 1750 Road.

The proposal would locate five grass fields, a parking lot, storage building and facilities for concessions and restrooms on the site.

The Planning Commission did recommend that field lighting at the complex not be used after 10 p.m., that field lights be equipped with shields and visors to reduce glare and that the complex not open until North 1300 Road and East 1750 Road are restored to the condition they were in before work started on the South Lawrence Trafficway. The applicant, Jambars Futbol Club Inc., has filed a revised plan complying with these conditions.

The County Commission also will consider: l Awarding a bid for

replacement of a bridge over Coal Creek on Route 458 about one-third of a mile east of the Route 1055 intersection. l A contract to replace the deck of a bridge over Washington Creek on Route 1039 just south of Lone Star Lake. l Revisions to the county personnel policies, which include a provision to create a longevity pay schedule.

The Douglas County Commission generally meets at 4 p.m. each Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. A full meeting agenda is available online at douglascountyks.org.

brought to light the miles of gaps in sidewalks, broken sidewalks, unconnected bicycle paths and a fragmented network of organizations that advise the city on pedestrian and bicycle issues.

“We believe we should build a transportation system for every citizen, even those who can’t drive, afford a car or maybe even afford bus fare,” Hull said. “All of our recommendations are centered on one simple question, and that is how we welcome, encourage and support all means of travel in Lawrence.”

Much of Tuesday’s conversation centered on sidewalk repairs.

Though the task force recommended the sales tax increase to fund $9.5 million in sidewalk repairs, commissioners weren’t sure it was in the city’s purview to step in at all to repair sidewalks.

State law and city policy currently requires property owners to maintain sidewalks.

City Engineer Dave Cronin explained that the city currently enforces the policy only when it receives complaints about sidewalk damage. Property owners are notified and given several opportunities to respond before the city has the authority to make the repairs and bill the property owners, which, Cronin said, the city has never done.

“The challenging thing is, when you send a letter and then they call and say, ‘I want to fix it, but I need to buy a prescription for my kids’ or ‘I need to put food on the table, how can you make me repair the sidewalk?’”

In most of those, Garcia said, both the suspect and the victim are minors, and recently, those involved are getting younger.

Possessing or distributing a sexually explicit image of a minor is a felony under Kansas law. Garcia said a common situation involves photos that are sent between two minors in a romantic relationship, but are then distributed widely after a break-up.

The Lawrence school district has responded to those trends with an education campaign called digital citizenship. Starting about a year ago, the Lawrence school district began hosting the informational meetings about safe and responsible social media for parents and students at the middle school level. The parent nights are followed by

separate presentations to students in sixth, seventh and eighth grades.

This school year, social media education was done in the fall semester at Southwest and South, and Garcia said he has already noticed a decline in the number of incidents at those schools.

Once the juvenile investigation department files its report, it is up to the District Attorney’s office to decide whether charges will be filed. Cases in juvenile court are sealed, but Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson previously told the Journal-World that he sees such cases “at least once every other week.”

Denise Johnson, the district’s curriculum coordinator for health and wellness, said that information about appropriate social media use and the legal consequences of sending sexually explicit messages is part of the National Sexual Education Standards followed by the district. After the presentations by law enforcement officers, students also meet with school counselors for small lessons. Johnson told attendees that students have been taking the

Robbery

Throughout the incident, the woman said, her children remained asleep.

Soon Rayton returned and began choking the woman while asking “where is it at?” she said, in reference to her personal safe.

“I finally told him it was in my room,” she said. “He walked me with the gun pointed at my head to my room, with one of his hands over my eyes. He was nudging me along because I couldn’t see.”

The woman said she opened her safe for Sanders and Rayton, who took a bottle of phencyclidine, or PCP, a marijuana pipe, a bag of marijuana paraphernalia and some cigarettes that are typically laced with PCP before being sold. The wholesale value of the PCP is

somewhere around $400, she said.

Cheryl Wright Kunard, assistant to the Douglas County District Attorney, said in an email that the woman testifying was granted immunity from prosecution in regard to any drugs within her safe.

Rayton and Sanders also took a duffel bag with around $1,700 worth of electronics, she said, including a PlayStation 3, a PlayStation 4 and a laptop computer.

The two men then shut the woman in her bathroom and left through her back door, she said. She then called the police to report the robbery.

The woman told officers she recognized Sanders as someone she had seen on Facebook,

the affidavits state. She later recognized Rayton in a photographic lineup.

Sanders was arrested in Topeka on Dec. 3. Rayton had already been in Douglas County Jail for the past five months on charges related to a failure to comply with court orders.

During the preliminary hearing the woman testified that during the incident Sanders did not have possession of the handgun at any point in time.

Afterward prosecutor David Melton moved to drop the charge of possession of a gun by a convicted felon, which was originally filed against Sanders.

After the woman was questioned by both the prosecution and the defense, Judge Peggy Kittel said the prosecution had

Early in the morning of June 30, 2015, police responded to the woman’s home in the 2400 block of Alabama Street for a report of a robbery, according to arrest affidavits for Rayton and Sanders.

The woman told the court she heard knocks on her front door and kitchen window just before 1 a.m. Her two daughters — 2 years old and 8 months old — were upstairs and asleep at the time, and her 7-year-old son was sleeping over at a home across the street.

The woman said that at first she found no one

outside but that when she checked the front door a second time both Rayton and Sanders forced their way inside.

As they forced their way into the house, she testified, Sanders was unarmed. Rayton, however, was pointing a semi-automatic handgun at her, she said.

“I knocked his hand away from me, and he hit me in the side of the head with it,” she said.

“There was blood down the side of my face.

It did stop bleeding on its own, though,” she added.

Once inside, Sanders wrestled with the woman for her cellphone, eventually throwing it across the room and holding her down, she said; in the meantime Rayton searched her bedroom.

Cronin said.

The task force has called the policy “politically unenforceable.”

The city enforcing the policy on more than a complaint-driven basis would be “extremely resource intensive,” Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard said. Stoddard also said the city taking on the responsibility of repairs would require a “dramatic” change in resources.

“It’s problematic if we look at taking resources from existing street maintenance responsibilities because we have a significant backlog as it is,” Stoddard said.

“And those needs are ongoing.”

Commissioner Stuart Boley said the city wasn’t currently viewing sidewalks as a “vital part” of Lawrence’s transportation system like it should be.

“I don’t think we really do that if we don’t make it possible for people to get around,” Boley said.

He said he wanted to see an incremental approach to the city taking over sidewalk maintenance, and Commissioner Lisa Larsen agreed.

Commissioner Matthew Herbert said the task force should prioritize filling in sidewalk gaps.

The report states Lawrence has 72 miles of streets that do not have sidewalks on either side.

The task force estimated it would cost $10.5 million to create sidewalks on one side of every street in the city.

The task force, among other things, wants city staff and a commission dedicated to pedestrian and bicycle issues.

sessions seriously.

“The students listen, they’re really paying attention and they ask questions,” she said.

Garcia said that one of the most important things parents can do is to have a frank conversation with their preteen or teen, set expectations of how the device should be used, and be clear that the device will be monitored.

While having those conversations and balancing teens’ privacy with their safety is difficult, Garcia said that is better than the alternative of investigating juveniles, permanently seizing their devices and potentially filing charges.

“I know it’s not easy, I’ll admit that, but it’s harder to investigate than to have these conversations,” Garcia said.

The last parent social media night of the school year will be held at 6 p.m.

Thursday at West Middle School, 2700 Harvard Road. The sessions last about an hour and are open to any parent in the Lawrence school district.

provided probable cause to believe a felony did occur and that Sanders was involved.

Kittel denied a motion from the defense to reduce Sanders’ bond, maintaining the amount at $200,000. She then scheduled Sanders for a status conference at 9 a.m. April 22 and a jury trial at 9 a.m. May 4.

Rayton is scheduled for a status conference at 9 a.m. April 1.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek said in an email denying access to Sanders’ booking photo that the photo is “not required to be disclosed under the Kansas Open Records Act.”

Attempted theft of gifts ends in arrest

O

ne person was issued a notice to appear in court after an ordeal at a Lawrence grocery store surrounding Valentine’s Day gifts.

Around 10:45 p.m.

Friday an intoxicated person entered Dillons at 1015 W. 23rd St. and picked out two pieces of Valentine’s Day merchandise, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley. The suspect then

tried to leave the store without paying.

Phone in hand, a security guard confronted the suspect, McKinley said.

The suspect then tried to knock the phone away, damaging it.

Afterward the suspect dropped the two items and left the store, McKinley said. The security guard called police and followed the suspect into the parking lot to record

the suspect’s license plate.

In the parking lot the suspect punched the security guard several times before leaving the scene, McKinley said. Responding officers found the suspect in a parking lot in the 1300 block of West 24th Street, where they issued a notice to appear in court on suspicion of theft, battery and criminal damage.

Grant

overall budget from the grant program and other city sources. The guidelines had read that no more than 25 percent of the event’s budget be requested only from the grant program.

“My concern is, I want to make sure some kind of event is funded in one part of the budget and now it’s going to get funding in another part of the budget,” Soden said.

“It sounds like doubledipping, so I don’t really think that’s fair. It should be an either-or thing.”

The guidelines approved Tuesday calls for a seven-member advisory board to decide twice per year — once in February and once in October — what programs and events to fund. The board would take their recommendations to the City Commission for final approval.

Gilliland said she would arrange a meeting for Feb. 18 with people interested in applying for a grant in the program’s first cycle. Applications will be due March 3, and the advisory board is expected to make its recommendations to the City Commission on March 29.

The advisory board would be created and appointed at the Feb. 16 City Commission meeting.

It would comprise two representatives from the

hotel industry, someone from the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission, a board member of eXplore Lawrence, two community members and a city commissioner.

“Collaboration between the city and organizations that create events like this is really important,” said Megan Gilliland, spokeswoman for the city and interim director of Lawrence’s convention and visitors bureau, eXplore Lawrence.

The need for the grant program was felt in September, when the Lawrence Arts Center requested $100,000 from the city to fund 25 percent of the 2016 Free State Festival, which organizers said might not be held without the city contribution.

After lengthy debate, commissioners voted to contribute $60,000. The Arts Center has since announced that the festival would still be held this year.

Organizers of the Free State Festival indicated at the September meeting that they would also apply for funds through this new grant program.

But on Tuesday, Vice Mayor Leslie Soden suggested the city add in a caveat that organizations seek no more than 25 percent of their event’s

Don’t overthink old classmate’s messages Dear Annie: While in high school in the late 1970s, there was this guy, “Scott,” who had a crush on me. Nothing transpired back then, so fast-forward 30 years.

A month ago, I received a Facebook friend request from Scott. Of course, I accepted and found out he and his wife are separated. I also looked at his friends’ list and noticed he had friended a few other people, including my sister. I didn’t think much about it at the time. I knew that my sister had a new boyfriend, although she claimed I didn’t know him.

For the past three weeks, I have been receiving his Facebook messages. He said that I looked good, and I thought maybe

he wanted to rekindle the crush from high school. But I noticed that whenever he would log off, my sister would also log off.

It turns out he’s been seeing my sister, who lied that I didn’t know her new boyfriend.

She just broke off a relationship in November with a guy from my high school class, and now she is on to another one.

In his last message to me, Scott told me

A ‘NOVA’ you’ll never forget “NOVA” (8 p.m., PBS, TVPG, check local listings) presents “Memory Hackers.” This hourlong program surveys scientists studying memory itself.

Some claim to have found new understanding of the very nature of human recollection; others report findings in ways to alter memories and even “plant” false memories. Some explore very gifted people with the ability (or perhaps the curse) of remembering every second of their existence, down to the most mundane detail.

A “60 Minutes” report on this very select group (including “Taxi” star Marilu Henner) would go on to inspire the CBS drama “Unforgettable” starring Poppy Montgomery, a series now airing on A&E. The notion of “brainwashing” has informed such thrillers as “The Manchurian Candidate” and its remake. Two versions of “Total Recall” show the perils and possibility of “vacationing” in somebody else’s memories.

The scientists profiled here have taken “memory” down to the molecular level, where they can monkey around with recollections using laser beams.

One researcher has taken a group of people and convinced 70 percent of them that they committed a crime that never happened. Another expert has used similar experiments to help people overcome crippling fears. One subject, previously beset with arachnophobia, is shown petting a tarantula after her treatment. Now that’s not something you’ll soon forget.

O The appetite for true-crime sagas continues to fuel shows like “Web of Lies” (8 p.m., ID, TV-14). In tonight’s sordid saga, an up-and-coming boxer leaves for a late-night assignation with an unknown woman, only to be found dead the very next day.

Similar stories have fueled such dramas as the movie “The Natural,” based on a 1952 Bernard Malamud novel of the same name, inspired by the true story of Philadelphia Phillies player Eddie Waitkus, shot by an obsessive fan in 1949.

While our “Natural” baseball star survives, in this case, the plot only thickens after the palooka’s date with the morgue.

His murder rips the lid off dark family secrets buried for a generation.

The tabloid tales continue with “Shadow of Doubt” (9 p.m., ID, TV-14), the story of the heir to an aviation fortune who vanishes into thin air — until the ransom notes arrive.

Sure, we dissected a frog together in biology class, but that was about it. He waits 30 years, adds me as a friend and sweet talks me, but dates my sister? Was he asking my permission?

State standoff The current tensions between Kansas University and state legislators are embarrassing and detrimental to the state.

K

ansas University and its critics in the Kansas Legislature don’t have to like one another, but, for the good of the state, they need to find a way to work together in a more productive way.

An ambitious plan to redevelop a portion of KU’s campus now hangs in the balance apparently because some state legislators believe they need to reprimand KU officials for their handling of the financing for that project. KU officials might have handled the matter better, but the current toxic relationship between the Legislature and the state’s flagship university has made it difficult to establish any trust between the two groups.

The percentage of state universities’ operating costs covered by state appropriations has steadily declined over the last decade or two, and legislators have told universities they need to learn to get along with fewer state dollars. KU’s response to that was to look at an untraditional way to pay for its Central District plan, which will redevelop an area northeast of 19th and Iowa streets to include a new integrated science facility, student housing, a new student union and a parking garage. KU had been planning this district for about three years, and the Kansas Board of Regents approved the plans in November, so it wasn’t exactly a secret.

However, when KU worked through its newly created KU Campus Development Corporation and a Wisconsin agency to sell about $330 million in bonds to finance the project just days before the legislative session began, legislators cried foul. Angry lawmakers retaliated by advancing legislation that would bar KU from spending the funds it had identified to finance the project.

The move not only threatens the project but also the university’s ability to meet its commitment to repay the bonds.

On Tuesday, KU officials and state legislators finally met face to face to discuss this project at meetings of the House Appropriations Committee and the Senate Ways and Means Committee. KU Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle defended the project and the funding process by telling legislators, “We wanted to meet the challenge of completing this project without the additional use of state funds or increased tuition. We have done that.”

Some legislators remained critical of what they see as KU’s effort to circumvent any legislative approval of its plans. Such approval would have been required, for instance, if the bonds had been sold through the Kansas Development Finance Authority. If KU had sought approval through that more traditional process, how would the Legislature have responded?

On this specific project, legislators can express their displeasure but they must be careful not to let their anger push them into ill-advised actions that could damage the image and the credit of both the state and the university.

Moving forward, KU officials and legislative leaders need to set aside their political assumptions and try to build the trust and respect they need to work together on projects and goals that benefit not only the university but also the state as a whole.

Kerry presses diplomacy in Syria Washington — Secretary of State John Kerry said in an interview that the U.S. is nearing a final “crunch time” on Syria — in which it will either make progress toward a cease-fire or begin moving toward “Plan B” and new military moves.

For Kerry-watchers, it’s a familiar moment of brinkmanship: He’s making a last, desperate push for a diplomatic breakthrough with Russia and Iran at a meeting in Munich Thursday, even as he warns that the U.S. has “other leverage” if diplomacy fails.

Kerry’s problem, skeptics would argue, is that his strategy has the same logical flaws that have scuttled three years of Syria diplomacy: Russia and Iran won’t compromise on their fundamental support for President Bashar al-Assad’s regime; and President Obama won’t approve military tactics that could actually shift the balance. So each diplomatic inflection point comes and goes — with greater misery for the Syrian people.

But Kerry presses on, doggedly and, some critics would say, unrealistically. In the interview Tuesday, he offered a frank, on-the-record explanation of his approach.

From the beginning, Kerry has hoped that Russia will decide that its interests are best served by a political transition in Syria. Here’s how Kerry puts the dangers for Moscow if there’s no settlement: “The threat of implosion in Syria, and the threat of a very prolonged war that keeps Russia

“

Kerry’s problem, skeptics would argue, is that his strategy has the same logical flaws that have scuttled three years of Syria diplomacy …” embroiled on the ground, and the threat of increased numbers of terrorists.”

But rather than seeing disaster ahead, Russia seems to think it’s winning. James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, assessed Moscow’s motivations bluntly Tuesday in testimony to Congress: “Increased Russian involvement, particularly airstrikes, will probably help the regime regain key terrain in high-priority areas in western Syria, such as Aleppo and near the coast, where it suffered losses to the opposition in summer 2015.”

Kerry conceded that “ripeness” is crucial in negotiations. If one party thinks it’s winning, it makes demands that the losing side won’t accept — and the carnage continues. Kerry says it would be “diplomatic neg-

ligence of the worst order” not to make one last try for a cease-fire that could assist the thousands of civilians newly fleeing Aleppo.

“What we’re doing is testing their (Russian and Iranian) seriousness,” he said.

“And if they’re not serious, then there has to be consideration of a Plan B. ... You can’t just sit there.”

Although Kerry wouldn’t discuss specific military options in Syria, he did offer some broad outlines. The aim, he said, would be “to lead a coalition against (the Islamic State), and also to support the opposition against Assad.”

He said Obama has already directed the Pentagon and the intelligence community to move “harder and faster” against Islamic State extremists, so that the terrorist group “is reined in and curbed and degraded and neutralized as fast as possible.”

Asked whether Obama would support more aggressive Special Forces tactics, Kerry responded that Obama has “already made the decision to put Special Forces in, and he’s made the decision to test the ‘proof of concept’ of how they are operating.”

Impatient critics would argue that the proof of concept came 10 years ago in Iraq, and that Obama is temporizing.

Kerry said “sure” when asked if the administration would accept recent offers by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to send ground troops into Syria, noting that Arab special forces “could

augment significantly the capacity to ... do greater damage to (Islamic State) much faster.” Certainly, wider Arab military involvement would up the ante in Syria.

Kerry pointed to the roster of other diplomacy that’s overshadowed by the Syria conflict: from North Korea to Ukraine, from Cuba to the South China Sea. And he discussed the nuclear deal with Iran, arguably his biggest diplomatic achievement, likening the Iranian pragmatists’ battle against hard-liners there to his fights with Congress.

“The hard-liners made Foreign Minister (Javad) Zarif and President (Hassan) Rouhani’s life very difficult, just as hard-liners in the United States ... made it difficult for our negotiations,” Kerry said.

But he sharply cautioned against any U.S. effort to support Rouhani’s camp in this month’s parliamentary elections: “The worst thing we could do is meddle.”

Kerry’s tireless, implacable diplomacy led Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox News, to suggest in a tweet last week that perhaps he should run for president if Hillary Clinton falters. Asked about Murdoch’s trial balloon, Kerry responded: “I don’t think that’s how the process works. ... There’s no reality to it whatsoever. ...

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 10, 1916: “Wiedemann’s, the Lawrence confectionery store, which is years better known among Univerago sity students than the names IN 1916 of some of the University buildings, changed ownership yesterday. William Wiedemann disposed of the business to Mrs. Ida E. Pollock of 1021 Rhode Island street, who will be represented in the active management of the business

by J. F. Harris and W. H. Harris, her brothers.

The new managers took charge of the store today. ‘The name of the store will continue to be “Wiedemann’s,”’ said J. F. Harris today. ...

Mr. Wiedemann has retired from active business after having been in active charge of his store for forty-eight years.”

Jail expansion is the wrong strategy

By Benet Magnuson

At a time of falling crime rates, Douglas County is already spending far too much on incarceration and far too little on other urgently needed community resources. Building an unnecessary $30 million jail expansion now would be a costly mistake that would harm our community for decades.

According to Kansas Bureau of Investigation reports, crime in Douglas County fell more than 36 percent from 2007 through 2014.

That includes a 23 percent reduction in violent crimes and a 38 percent reduction Magnuson in property crimes.

But during that same time, the number of people incarcerated at our county jail fell only 8 percent, and our jail’s budget grew 15 percent. The budget for the sheriff’s other law enforcement activities grew 18 percent. Similarly, from 2007 through 2014, criminal case filings in Douglas County District Court (as reported to the Kansas Office of Judicial Administration) fell 42 percent, but our district attorney’s expenditures rose 17 percent.

What causes a reduction in crime?

The Brennan Center for Justice released an in-depth report in 2015 that showed increased incarceration was responsible for less than 1 percent of the crime reduction nationally between 2000 and 2013. By comparison, according to that same report, reduced alcohol consumption was responsible for 5 percent to 10 percent of the

YOUR TURN crime reduction in those years. Douglas County could reduce crime much more if we invested $30 million in strategies shown to reduce crime, not in failed strategies like incarceration.

In 2013, nearly 10 percent of Douglas County adults — more than 11,000 people — reported 14 or more poor mental health days in the previous 30 days, slightly higher than the state average, according to the Kansas Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.

If Douglas County spent the $30 million currently earmarked for the jail expansion on robust community mental health programs instead, we could provide high-quality support to those individuals in need.

County officials have said they have little power to reduce the number of people we incarcerate at our county jail, but that is simply not true. The county has insisted they have the power to divert people with serious mental illness from the jail. The county could use the very same process, which would include coordinated efforts among our courts, law enforcement, and the district attorney, to divert many low-level offenders away from incarceration. Indeed, it would likely be much easier than diversion for people with serious mental illness.

Douglas County has spent at least $60,000 on a contract with Treanor Architects to study diversion options for people with serious mental illness; the county should equally study diversion options for low-level offenders before spending $30 million on a jail expansion.

Jail logs obtained through an open re-

cords request show that nearly 60 percent of all bookings into our jail from September 2014 through December 2015 required bonds of $500 or less, suggesting the court did not consider the person to be a serious public safety risk. Nearly 10 percent of all bookings during that time were released from jail because no charges were filed. Seventeen percent of all bookings by the sheriff’s office during that time were released on the person’s own recognizance — meaning a bond amount was set, but it was then determined that the person was a low enough risk that he or she could leave the jail without posting bond.

The county has also said the rising number of people incarcerated at our jail — which has increased an astounding 50 percent since February 2015 — is the result of longer average lengths of stay. But according to the sheriff’s office, the average length of stay is currently 11.6 days, only 7 percent longer than the average length of stay in 2014 (10.9 days), when the average daily population at the jail was only 171. The very large increase in the jail population and the relatively modest increase in the average length of stay shows most of the population increase has been caused by increased incarceration for minor offenses with short lengths of stay.

Douglas County does not need a $30 million jail expansion. We should instead be talking about ways we can divert low-level offenders away from the jail, reduce our incarceration budgets, and invest more in community programs that are in dire need.

leg of the race in 2014 with a time of 63.5 seconds.

Miss Liberal Gaby Amparan was the fastest of 11 Kansas contestants, but her time didn’t count because she was an honorary racer.

Olney had 25 women, including honorary entrant Isobel Ager-Righinioti, who is 84, according to Hayley Taylor, a member of the Olney Pancake

Race Committee.

Legend says the race originated in Olney in 1445 after a housewife who was cooking pancakes heard bells ring and ran to a church still wearing her apron, with skillet and pancake in hand.

After Time magazine did a feature on the race in 1950, Liberal challenged Olney to a competition that has carried on since then.

Liberal (ap) — Residents of Olney, England, have reclaimed the title from its rivals in Liberal, Kan., in the long-running International Pancake Day Race which involves donning aprons and scarves, sprinting and flipping pancakes.

Olney resident Lianne Fisher won Tuesday with a record time of 55.02 seconds on the 415-yard course that participants run with a pancake in a pan, flipping it at the beginning and end of the race. She beat Liberal’s Summer Parsons, who finished in 62.61.

Both towns run the race at 11:55 a.m. local time on Shrove Tuesday — widely known in Britain as Pancake Day — the last day before Lent.

This year’s race marked the 67th year of the competition between the towns, which Liberal leads 37-29. One year’s score was disqualified.

The previous record was 55.6 set by Olney’s Devon Byrne in 2014. Parsons, a physical education teacher at Garfield School in Liberal, won the Liberal

The Granite State gives Donald Trump his first win in the GOP primary by a solid margin. IN NEWS

Tuesday’s results keep nomination races fluid Clarity for both parties won’t likely come until March This may take awhile.

Victories by Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday, so decisive they were projected by the Associated Press and the TV networks the moment the polls closed, demonstrated beyond any doubt how dissatisfied voters are with the political status quo and how deeply split both the Democratic and Republican parties are.

ber.

Neither winner of the first contests in Iowa — Republican Ted Cruz and Democrat Hillary Clinton — won the second one.

Now the most unconventional presidential contest in a generation now heads to different regions, bigger states, a faster pace and a larger field of candidates on the Republican side than usually survives past this point. Next up: Nevada and South Carolina.

In a race as fluid as this one, why would anyone drop out before they absolutely had to?

“This is the most unpredictable election that I have ever

seen,” Arizona Sen. John McCain, a candidate himself in Republican nomination battles in 2000 and 2008, said in a session with reporters on the news site sidewire.com. Democratic strategist Robert Shrum, who has helped run a string of presidential campaigns, said in an interview, “This is not like anything I’ve ever seen, to be honest.”

When their candidacies were launched last year, the suggestion that New Hampshire Republicans would support a real-estate mogul and reality-TV star — a v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY’: GET SET TO SING FREELY Tentative deal puts song in public domain Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

There’s a happy ending for anyone who wants to use the worldfamed song Happy Birthday.

Warner Music Group and its global music publishing company agreed to relinquish their claims to the song and will offer up to $14 million in shared compensation for those who paid licensing fees to use the tune, according to a tentative settlement filed in California federal court Monday.

Ending a 3-year class-action

battle, Warner, its affiliates and others who claimed ownership of the song’s disputed copyright agreed that if U.S. District Judge George King approves the deal they will no longer “charge any person a fee for use of the song,” the filing stated. “All parties believe the song will be in the public domain on the final settlement date,” which is expected in March, the agreement added.

Happy Birthday was written in 1893 by sisters Mildred and Patty Hill, who titled it Good Morning to All. Defendants contended the Hills left the rights to the tune, which had yet to gain the birthday lyrics, with the sisters’ publisher, Clayton Summy.

The first publication of the

Terrance Jackson, standing from left, Doris Ware and Beverly Booker sing Happy Birthday to Bernice Williams in Dallas.

Happy Birthday lyrics came in a 1911 book that didn’t credit an author, King wrote in a September 2015 ruling. However, the

book noted that the song and Good Morning to You shared the same music. Warner and its Warner/Chappell music publishing arm contended they got the copyright via the 1988 purchase of the company that had obtained the rights from the Hills’ publisher. Other intervenors in the case said they got the rights through testamentary transfers from the sisters.

In his September decision, King wrote that the song copyright expired in 1949. The judge ruled the Hills publisher never acquired the rights to the Happy Birthday lyrics. As a result, Warner and other defendants “do not own a valid copyright” for the words, King wrote.

Jaws breaker: Shark attacks set world record in 2015 Of 98 incidents, 59 were in the U.S. Doyle Rice USA TODAY

In the territorial dispute between sharks and humans, the toothy beasts bit off a record in 2015.

Sharks, unprovoked, chomped on humans 98 times worldwide last year, the most since records began 57 years ago, according to data from the International Shark Attack File. The number of

attacks broke the previous record of 88 set in 2000.

Most folks in 2015 escaped with injuries, but the vicious fish killed six people worldwide, on par with previous years, said George Burgess, curator of the file housed at the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida.

The majority of the attacks occurred in the U.S., which logged a record 59 incidents. Australia recorded 18 attacks and South Africa followed with eight. The previous U.S. record of 53 was set in 2000 and matched in 2012.

The uptick may be linked to

Shark attacks set a record last year, with the most since records began 57 years ago, data show.

more people spending time in the sea, giving sharks increasing opportunities to encounter people, Burgess said in a statement.

Shark populations — like human ones — are also growing.

Most of the U.S. attacks — 30 — occurred in Florida, where long coastlines and inviting beaches attract both humans and sharks.

The Carolinas each logged eight, followed by Hawaii with seven, and California and Texas with two apiece.

“Sharks plus humans equals attacks. As our population continues to rapidly grow and shark populations slowly recover, we’re going to see more interactions,” he said.

One attack occurred in New York, which points to warming

oceans as another factor in the increase in incidents, Burgess said. Water temperatures spiked earlier in the season, which drew more sharks to the shallow water they prefer for feeding and where people also tend to play.

A team of federal researchers captured and tagged 2,800 sharks along the East Coast before summer began, recording the highest number in its 29-year history of monitoring the population.

“We can and should expect the number of attacks to be higher each year,” Burgess said. “When we visit the sea, we’re on their turf.”

INSURGENT TOPS TRUMP MARKS INSTITUTION IN FIRST TRIUMPH SANDERS SUCCESS IN GOP RACE Clinton acknowledges she has ‘some work to do’ to win youth vote Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

MANCHESTER , N. H .

Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire’s Democratic primary Tuesday, defeating Hillary Clinton in the state that helped revive her presidential campaign eight years earlier.

“Together we have sent the message that will echo from Wall Street to Washington, from Maine to California,” Sanders told supporters. “And that is that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a handful of wealthy contributors and their super PACs.” In thanking New Hampshire for his

overwhelming win, he said the message voters sent was that it was “too late for the same-old, same-old establishment politics and establishment economics.

The people want real change.”

In her speech, Clinton said, “I want to begin by congratulating Sen. Sanders on his victory tonight.” She added, “I still love New Hampshire, and I always will.”

Clinton acknowledged an anger among voters but said, “They’re also hungry — they’re hungry for solutions.”

She addressed the challenges she’ll face in trying to win over a demographic that has gravitated to Sanders’ cam-

paign. “I know I have some work to do, particularly with young people,” she said.

Despite polls showing her well behind, Clinton campaigned vigorously in the state that she won in 2008 and that made her husband, Bill, the “comeback kid” in 1992 after he battled back to finish a closer-than-expected second to former senator Paul Tsongas from neighboring Massachusetts.

Sanders’ win in New Hampshire, which was projected by networks and the Associated Press immediately after polls closed, comes a little more than one week after Clinton narrowly defeated him in the Iowa caucuses.

In a memo released as polls closed Tuesday, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook acknowledged the former secretary of State and Sanders had split the first two contests, which is an outcome, he said, “we’ve long anticipated.”

Sanders’ win marks something that hasn’t happened in the New Hampshire Democratic primary since Gary Hart beat Walter Mondale in 1984 — an insurgent defeating a party favorite, said Dante Scala, a political science professor at the University of New Hampshire.

“He should get due credit for that,” Scala said before the primary. “New Hampshire often flirts with the insurgent and then comes back home.”

Tuesday’s outcome is unlikely to provide much clarity in a race that could stretch well into the spring.

“New Hampshire doesn’t answer the $64,000 question, which is how Sanders will play with minorities,” Scala said.

The next contests, a caucus in Nevada on Feb. 20 and the South Carolina primary on Feb. 27, will hinge on Latino and black-voting populations that remain more favorable to Clinton.

New Hampshire’s result may not go down as a clear referendum on Sanders’ anti-Wall Street rhetoric vs. Clinton’s approach that seeks to build on programs championed by President Obama.

That’s because of voters such as Don Doucette, 67, a retiree who pulled the lever for Sanders. “Not because I like him,” Doucette said. “I don’t want to see Hillary win.” He said he may vote Republican in the general election.

Sanders can’t rely in future contests on independent voters who outnumber Democrats and Republicans in New Hampshire and can vote in either primary.

Clinton is set for a long battle as she tries to avoid the mistakes of 2008.

MANCHESTER , N. H . onald Trump won the New Hampshire primary Tuesday, the first victory in his stunning, anti-establishment presidential campaign that has dominated polls and headlines for seven months. Ohio Gov. John Kasich came in second, a major boost for his campaign and a blow to other governors in the race.

“We learned a lot about ground games in one week,” Trump told cheering supporters in Manchester just eight days after finishing second in the Iowa caucuses.

Having ascended the stage to the sounds of The Beatles song Revolution, Trump predicted victory down the line and told New Hampshire voters: “Remember, you started it!”

Kasich hailed his second-place finish as a tribute to his positive message, telling supporters “the light overcome the darkness of negative campaigning.”

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former Florida governor Jeb Bush battled it out for third place, while Florida Sen. Marco Rubio appeared headed to what he called a disappointing fifth-place finish in New Hampshire.

Rubio had claimed momentum with a strong third-place showing in Iowa but acknowledged that his poor debate in New Hampshire hurt him.

“Our disappointment is not on you, it’s on me,” he told supporters. “I did not do well on Saturday night. But listen to me: That will never happen again.”

Candidates and their aides had acknowledged that Trump was the favorite in the New Hampshire contest but hoped that a smaller-than-expected margin of victory would be a sign his support is soft.

A single-digit win “won’t mean much,” said former New Hampshire governor John Sununu, who has not made an endorsement but is critical of Trump. But Trump doubled the vote total of his closest competitor.

While New Hampshire has fewer evangelical voters than Iowa, Cruz was looking for a strong showing in the Gran-

ite State to continue his momentum.

Reminding reporters of his Iowa win during a campaign stop Tuesday, Cruz responded to attacks from Trump by saying, “Donald does not handle losing very well.”

Kasich, Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have spent the bulk of their campaign time in New Hampshire and saw it as a make-or-break state for their White House hopes. Like other candidates, they hit polling places, TV studios, call-in radio shows, the Internet and social media in their last-minute appeals for votes.

Christie finished with well under 10% and announced late Tuesday that he was canceling a planned trip to South Carolina — site of the next Republican primary — and heading back to New Jersey to consider the future of his campaign.

Bush, the son and brother of previous presidents who touted his executive experience in Florida, appealed to voters via social media.

He tweeted: “Closing my time in New Hampshire the same way I began: giving it my all, speaking to every voter and being true to what I believe.”

Also stumping in New Hampshire: businesswoman Carly Fiorina and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, both of whom have campaigned against the current political establishment. Neither generated significant support Tuesday night.

Heavy turnout in some areas created long lines, and officials allowed people to cast their ballots if they had been waiting in line when the polls closed.

Trump, Sanders tap into sense U.S. off-track v CONTINUED FROM 1B

contender who not only has never run for office before but also hasn’t voted in a Republican primary in decades — would have seemed fanciful. Predictions that New Hampshire Democrats would back a 74-year-old senator who had never actually belonged to the Democratic Party would have seemed equally unlikely.

But both Trump and Sanders have tapped into a strong sense that the United States has gotten seriously off track, that Wall Street controls Washington, that their families are threatened in an increasingly dangerous world, and that the concept of the American dream is now more history lesson than reality for kids today.

The economy was the top concern in both parties, according to surveys of voters as they left polling places. That was especially true of Democrats, where a third of voters cited income inequality in particular as their top issue — Sanders has been hammering that — and another third cited the economy in general.

Trump drew support not only from reliable Republicans but also from those who aren’t, a sign that the billionaire businessman could reshape the GOP if he ends up as its nominee. He drew the largest share in the field of those who were voting for in the Republican primary for the first time. He won the most independents. He drew strong support among voters with less education and lower incomes, not always GOP supporters.

Nearly half of Republican voters said they were looking for a candidate “outside the political establishment,” and a similar number said they felt “betrayed” by the GOP. Both groups backed Trump over any of his rivals.

Trump’s coalition was starkly different from those who backed his more establishment rivals.

People vote at a middle school serving as a voting station Tuesday for the New Hampshire Primary in Bow, N.H. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, projected to finish second by ABC and NBC, drew support among those who opposed temporarily banning all Muslims from entering the United States — perhaps Trump’s most controversial proposal — and among moderates and highly educated voters. He did well among those looking for a candidate with experience rather than an outsider.

Kasich and others vying for mainstream support, including former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, finished far behind Trump but within a few percentage points of one another. That means none of them seems likely to suspend their campaigns before the next contests — good news for Trump by splintering the voters who don’t support him.

(Big contributors may have something to say about that, though. “How do seven or eight candidates keep getting their donors to re-up?” Matt Schlapp,

chairman of the American Conservative Union, asked in an interview. “Here’s really the question: What states are you going to win?”)

On the Democrat side, too, Sanders and Clinton offered dif-

ferent visions of the Democratic Party. Sanders carried younger voters under 30 overwhelmingly, by 5-1; Clinton carried seniors 65 and older by double digits. Sanders won most of the liberals; Clinton won most of the moderates.

Sanders won among the lowestincome voters; Clinton won among the most affluent ones.

Sanders carried independent voters by 3-1.

And in a critical question, four in 10 Democratic voters said they wanted to continue President Obama’s policies, which has been Clinton’s stance, but another four in 10 said they wanted to pursue more liberal ones. That’s been Sanders’ battle cry.

The next three weeks will be crucial. On the Democratic side, the Nevada caucuses are next, in 10 days. The Sanders campaign sees that as a prime opportunity in the challenge to Clinton, who had been viewed initially as the all-but-inevitable nominee.

“We’re trying to win Nevada,” said Sanders strategist Tad Devine. “A ‘rigged economy’ resonates with extraordinary power” in a state where many communities still haven’t recovered from the housing market meltdown that hit in 2008. He said the senator also was making “enormous progress” with the Latinos who are a significant political force in the Silver State.

On the Republican side, the South Carolina primary is next, in 10 days — the first Southern contest in a party that has a Southern base, and a region where Texas Sen. Cruz has built a deep organization and could be a good fit.

Since it moved up in the calendar in 1980, the state’s primary has been won by the ultimate Republican nominee every year except one, in 2012.

Obama sends $4T budget to Congress Gregory Korte USA TODAY

President Obama’s $4.1 trillion budget plan to Congress combines ambitious election-year offerings unlikely to be passed by a Republican Congress with more achievable proposals for cancer research, drug treatment and cyber security.

“This budget is ... about making sure our economy works for everybody, not just those at the top,” Obama said in an accompanying message to Congress.

But that vision will come at a cost. Budget deficits will grow to 2.8% of the economy, with a cumulative effect of increasing the national debt from $19 trillion to $27.4 trillion over the next decade, according to the Office of Management and Budget.

“President Obama will leave office having never proAP posed a budget Obama that balances — ever,” House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said in a statement.

Many of the policy proposals in the budget were announced in Obama’s State of the Union Address last month, including a largely budget-neutral upgrade of the unemployment insurance program, $1 billion for cancer research, a $10-a-barrel oil tax, a doubling of clean energy research funding and $19 billion to beef up the government’s cyber defenses.

In a break from tradition, both the House and Senate budget committees have declined to invite Obama’s budget director, Shaun Donovan, to testify about the president’s proposals.

Babies’ eye issues may be linked to Zika

Angelica Pereira feeds her daughter Luiza, who was born with microcephaly, at her mother’s house in Santa Cruz do Capibaribe, Brazil. The Zika virus is suspected to be linked with occurrences of microcephaly in newborn babies.

One-third display abnormalities Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

One-third of babies with a birth defect linked to the Zika virus also displayed eye abnormalities that could affect their vision, according to a study published Tuesday.

The 29 babies in the study were born with microcephaly, a condition that results in abnormally small heads and incomplete brain development. Brazil noted a sharp increase in microcephaly cases about six months after the first reported cases of Zika in that country.

Ten of the 29 infants showed eye abnormalities, according to the study, led by researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo in Brazil and published in JAMA

Ophthalmology.

Nearly 80% of the babies’ mothers reported suspected Zika symptoms while pregnant, including rash, fever, joint pain, headache and itch. Of the mothers with Zika symptoms, 78% experienced them in the first three months of pregnancy, according to the study. Four of five people with Zika infections show no symptoms.

In an accompanying editorial, Lee Jampol and Debra Goldstein of Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine suggest doctors perform thorough eye exams on all babies with microcephaly in areas with Zika outbreaks.

“We’re very concerned about this,” said Jampol, a professor of ophthalmology at Northwestern.

“There hasn’t been enough testing yet to know what these babies’ vi-

sion is going to be.”

Most of the babies eyes showed damage to the retina, the area in the back of the eye that receives images and sends signals to the brain about what is seen. One baby had a hole in the iris, the colored part of the eye, although it’s not clear whether that was coincidence or related to the microcephaly and Zika infection, Jampol said.

In addition to abnormalities in their eyes, the babies could suffer vision problems because of the

brain damage caused by microcephaly, Jampol said.

“As more babies are examined, we’ll have a better idea of the range of damage that occur to the retina,” he said.

Although scientists can’t definitively say prenatal Zika infections cause microcephaly, the World Health Organization says evidence suggests a strong association. Jampol said “it’s very highly likely” that Zika caused the babies’ eye problems.

Recapturing Mosul may be a year away, official says Offensive in Iraq’s second-largest city requires larger force Jim Michaels USA TODAY

The next major offensive to drive Islamic State militants from Iraq, the fight to recapture the city of Mosul, is at least a year away, a top military intelligence official testified Tuesday.

“I’m not as optimistic that we’ll be able to turn that in the near term,” Marine Lt. Gen. Vincent Stewart, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“Certainly not this year.”

Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, was captured by the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, in June 2014, becoming an important propaganda asset for the militant group and a threat to Iraq’s sovereignty.

Iraq recently retook control of Ramadi, 65 miles west of Baghdad, from the militants, a move the Pentagon cites as a victory for Iraq’s security forces and a sign that U.S.-trained Iraqi troops are

Some Iraqi forces remain tied down in Ramadi and won’t be able to be redeployed until security can be turned over to local police.

progressing.

Mosul, which once had a population of about 1 million, is a more formidable challenge. Thousands of civilians remain in Mosul, it is more than double the size of Ramadi, and the city has a more ethnically diverse population.

Ramadi was secured last December after nearly six months of fighting.

It required about 10,000 Iraqi troops backed by coalition airstrikes.

The Pentagon has said an offensive to retake Mosul will require at least double that number of forces. Many of those troops will be trained or retrained by coalition advisers in Iraq before participating in a Mosul offensive.

Generating a force that size will take time. Some Iraqi forces remain tied down in Ramadi, where militants continue to mount small attacks, and won’t be able to be redeployed until most security responsibility in the city can be turned over to local police.

Iraq’s military also is conducting other operations in western Iraq that need to be completed before an offensive.

Iraqi soldiers train with American and Spanish troops southeast of Baghdad in January. The Pentagon has said it is considering increasing the number of trainers in Iraq.

months, putting it squarely in a correction. Investors are repricing the value of stocks given their rapidly falling expectations for profit.

Some of the most extreme examples really drive home the point of falling expectations. Energy companies — by far — account for 14 of the 15 biggest cuts.

Devon Energy is the most dramatic example.

A month ago, investors knew the Oklahoma City-based oil exploration firm’s bottom line was going to be ugly and called for an adjusted loss per share of a nickel.

Just a month later, though, analysts now are telling investors to brace for a brutal loss of $1.12 a share.

More drivers tardy on auto loan payments 60-day delinquencies on rise; total debt is highest in history Chris Woodyard @ChrisWoodyard USA TODAY

More people are falling at least two months behind in making payments on their auto loan, a new report showed Tuesday.

As more borrowers have qualified for loans amid higher national employment rates and with new-car sales booming as a result, the total amount of auto loan debt climbed to $987 million in the fourth quarter, up 11.5% from the same quarter in the previous

PATRICK T. FALLON, BLOOMBERG

The percentage of serious delinquencies has risen as more car loans become available.

year, reports Experian Automotive. The credit-reporting service says the total is the highest since it began keeping track in 2006.

There are growing fears that global banks are headed for a meltdown, the likes of which have not been seen since 2008.

Only this time, there will be no one there to rescue them.

The biggest concerns center on major banks in Europe, where industry giants have seen their shares tumble a third in value already this year.

Shares of U.S. banks, such as JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, have also taken a beating, but they are faring better amid expectations that they are dealing with fewer headwinds and that they are, in some cases, better positioned to weather the storm.

German bank Deutsche Bank is leading the doomsday procession with a stock price that has fallen below the levels hit in the darkest days of the financial crisis. The cost of insuring Deutsche Bank’s debt against default has also skyrocketed, suggesting investors fear trouble ahead.

The sell-off prompted Deutsche’s co-CEO John Cryan to issue a surprise memo Tuesday saying that the bank’s balance sheet “remains absolutely rocksolid.” The bank’s New York-listed shares closed down 1% Tuesday, a drop of 36% for the year.

NEW YORK

Along with the rising auto loan tallies has come growth in serious delinquencies. The percentage of people at least 60 days behind on their payments rose to 0.77%, up from 0.72% in the same period in 2014. Experian says it’s still short of a record. Sixty-day delinquencies reached 0.94% in 2009.

And the rate of those who are 30 days behind on payments fell in last year’s fourth quarter to 2.57%, down from 2.62%.

“While rates in the more severe delinquency category are up, it’s important to note that the increases are modest and relatively low from a historical perspective,” Melinda Zabritski, senior director of automotive finance for Experian, said in a statement.

“Also, given that we’ve seen an

increase in loans to subprime and deep-subprime consumers, it’s natural to see a slight uptick. Although not yet a cause for concern, the industry should keep an eye on this metric to see how it trends in the quarters to come.”

Finance companies held the largest share of the $6.8 billion in loans at least two months delinquent, at 45%. Banks held the second-largest percentage.

The highest 60-day delinquency rates were in Louisiana and Mississippi. The lowest were in Alaska and South Dakota.

The big increase in auto finance debt is coming largely due to increased lending by finance companies and credit unions. It comes after a record year for auto sales.

In Miami, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein made light of falling valuations for banks at a Credit Suisse-sponsored financial services conference. “I hear this is the large-cap section. I’m glad we still qualify given what’s going on,” Blankfein told the crowd.

Goldman’s shares are down 21% this year. “It’s a sober time for everybody,” Blankfein said.

How likely is it banks will suffer another meltdown? Experts say it will depend a lot on the economy and interest rates. In that regard, U.S. banks are better positioned than their European counterparts — at least for now. uInterest rates: Banks earn money off the spread between what they charge for loans and the cost to borrow, or interest paid on deposits. Super-low interest rates, intended to spur lending, pressure their earnings.

For European banks, the pressure is worse because they are dealing with a controversial experiment in negative interest rates in which they essentially have to pay central banks to park their money. The U.S. federal fund rates, by contrast, hovers at closer to 0.25% and 0.5%, with expectations that it could go higher this year. uEconomic woes: The U.S. economy is still growing — albeit at a slow rate. Europe’s economic woes are much more tangled, due in part to its exposure to nations, such as Greece, struggling to recover from the financial crisis. uCapital ratios: One of the biggest concerns for banks surrounds their need to increase their cash safety net whenever risk levels rise. The banks have been doing this since the financial crisis, mostly by selling risky assets and aggressively cutting costs. But some European banks are facing renewed fears over their capital buffers due to their exposure to energy and some unexpected expenses.

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

It has been downhill for financial markets ever since the Federal Reserve moved in midDecember to raise interest rates off zero for the first time in nearly a decade. The Dow Jones industrial average has shed 1,735 points since the hike. Stocks in Germany and Japan have tumbled more than 15%. And U.S.-produced crude has plunged about 25%. No wonder investors have been flocking to perceived havens, such as the 10-year Treasury note, which has jumped in price, resulting in a drop in its yield of more than half of a percentage point. Gold, another haven in tough times, is up more than 10%.

The world Fed Chair Janet Yellen was living in in December is

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

much different than the one she’s dealing with today. That’s why Wall Street will be listening closely to Yellen’s testimony before Congress on Wednesday and Thursday to see if she will reassure markets the Fed’s hoped-for pace of four quarter-point rate hikes no longer is on the table.

Wall Street will most certainly want to hear that a March rate hike is not going to happen, due to slowing growth and market turbulence in 2016.

“Hopefully, (Yellen) will provide some assurances ... while potentially mollifying a few investor fears,” Tom Stringfellow, chief investment officer at Frost Investment Advisors, wrote in a report.

Wall Street hopes Yellen’s comments result in a weaker dollar, as a strong greenback has crushed commodities and hurt U.S. corporate profits, adds David Joy, chief market strategist at Ameriprise.

Analysts think tire maker has mojo on its side Q: Is it a good year for Goodyear?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Goodyear Tire & Rubber shares got pumped up following better-than-expected fourth-quarter results, and analysts see the tire maker as a solid play this year.

The company reported 58% higher adjusted quarterly profit in the fourth quarter of 93 cents a share. Investors sent shares 4% higher to roughly $27 a share as the results were 24% better than expected. Quarterly revenue dropped 6.7% from the same period a year ago to $4.1 billion but was still 1% ahead of expectations, S&P Global Market Intelligence says.

Adjusted profit for 2016 is expected to rise 14% to $3.80 a share and revenue is seen holding the line at $16.6 billion.

Given the company’s expected profit growth, analysts think the stock could be worth $33.43 a share in 18 months, or 22% higher than Tuesday’s close.

The company trades for less than three times its adjusted earnings over the past 12 months, S&P Global says, making it a discount to the market by that measure. Investors, though, need to understand that this is not a high-growth company.

The company’s revenue has contracted four consecutive years. Last year, revenue fell 9.3%. The stock is a play on value.

shakes. The people also claim they were not been properly warned about the risks involved.

Ackman has accused the Los

Angeles-based company of running an illegal pyramid scheme that makes money by enrolling people into the act of selling its shakes rather than through the sale of the product itself.

But his efforts to profit off the allegations by selling the stock short, or betting it will go down, have proven elusive.

Herbalife has vehemently denied the allegations and accused Ackman of stock manipulation.

Last month, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Department of Justice probe into Herbalife’s business practices, as well as allegations of stock manipulation,

fizzled due to insufficient evidence of criminal wrongdoing.

In Tuesday’s video, former Herbalife sales people discussed their losses compared to the promises made to them when they joined the company. One woman said she lost $62,000 despite being told she could make $5,000 a month by recruiters. She also claimed she had not seen a disclosure document saying that the vast majority of people, or 89%, do not make any money selling Herbalife products.

“Herbalife claims that it has cleaned up its act. Herbalife victims from around the country re-

veal a different story,” said the video, which Ackman posted to his website, Factsaboutherbalife .com.

Tuesday, shares of the company rose 1.3% to $44.01. Over the last 12 months the stock is up 24% at a time when stocks in other sectors are struggling.

Ackman, who made a $1 billion bet on the stock’s decline in 2012, shorted the shares at around $47.

In order to profit from the stock’s decline, he needs it to fall much further given the millions he has spent on legal fees and other expenses that have kept the return on investment down.

‘When he says he’s a genius, he backs it up’ Patrick Ryan USA TODAY

W

hether he’s gloating in interviews or grandstanding at shows, Kanye West never misses an opportunity to proclaim his own greatness.

But does the quality of his music actually live up to his often wild superlatives? To many, the answer is yes.

“When you just look at the albums, it’s undeniable,” says Billboard senior editor Alex Gale.

“He’s absolutely one of the best, and you could make the argument for the best artist of the 21st century. When he says he’s a genius, he backs it up.”

What sets West apart is his ability to reinvent himself on each of his six solo albums, starting with his 2004 debut, The College Dropout. The record was characterized by its vintage soul samples and relatable lyrics, drawing from his own experiences leaving college to pursue music (Graduation Day) and recovering from a near-fatal car accident (Through the Wire). West will unveil his next album Thursday.

“He definitely made it OK to be a little bit of a weirdo,” Gale says.

“He said when he came out that he wasn’t a thug. He was the kid who went to school, his mom was a college professor. He definitely challenged some of the authenticity that had to be there at the moment,” with a preppy fashion sense that helped expand hiphop’s definition of masculinity.

He continued to move toward more maximalistic production on his next two albums, Late Registration and Graduation, which spawned hits such as Gold Digger, Good Life and Stronger and earned West a combined six Grammy Awards. But it was his 2008 album, 808s & Heartbreak, that may be his most influential as he stripped away the samples and relied almost entirely on synthesizers and Auto-Tune as instruments.

“That album is the equivalent of (Bob) Dylan going electric, and

you still hear that all the time, in Elysa Gardner hip-hop and outside of hip-hop,” Gale says. Inspired in part by the USA TODAY unexpected death of his mother, n late January, with the muDonda West, and his broken ensic world holding its breath gagement from designer Alexis in anticipation of his new Phifer, the more sensitive songs album, a certain hip-hop about love and relationships helped pave the way for confes- visionary waged a Twitter war sional rappers such as Drake, against another rapper, one that Future and J.

been passionate.”

For many industry observers, West is at least partly a product and a reflection of his era. “We’re redefining what it means to be an authentic artist,” Summers says.

“In 2016, authenticity means being transparent, speaking from your heart, and Kanye does that with his lyrics, too.” Fans “may laugh at the tweets” — among them another recent one declaring his new effort (winkingly, perhaps) “the best album of all time” — “but they listen to the music.”

Rolling Stone contributing editor Anthony DeCurtis has noticed this pattern among the students who take his course on pop culture and arts criticism at the University of Pennsylvania.

“When I ask them to write about a song, someone always chooses Kanye, and there’s always a sense of him being misunderstood.

They respond to the provocations but don’t take them seriously.

They may roll their eyes, but they’re entertained.”

Certainly, any Jekyll-and-Hyde comparison between West the musician and West the public figure would be reductive. Braggadocio is also an element in his music; Daphne Brooks, professor of African-American studies at Yale University, was unsettled by the contrast between “this mastery of sonic forms and the retrograde gender politics” on West’s acclaimed 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

For DeCurtis’ students, “Kanye is almost like their generation’s Donald Trump. He does everything that would destroy most artists’ careers, but for some reason it only seems to help him.”

Brooks thinks of a very different icon, one greatly admired by West: the late David Bowie.

“Kanye is probably the closest thing we’ve had to Bowie in hiphop, with his constant experimentation and his ability to turn transgression into these compelling large-scale narratives.”

West “leads with his feelings,” Brooks notes, “in a way that, unfortunately, can get written off in our sound-bite culture. But I hope he’ll continue to evolve.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD LANDEN LUCAS (33) GETS UP FOR A LOB DUNK against West Virginia forward Nathan Adrian during the first half of the Jayhawks’ 75-65 victory on Tuesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Lucas helps KU regain share of lead

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Landen Lucas’ careerhigh 16 rebounds helped Kansas University beat West Virginia, 75-65, and grab a share of first place in the Big 12 Conference standings with the Mountaineers and Oklahoma Sooners on Tuesday night.

The 6-foot-10, 240-pound

Portland junior’s performance on the glass — which was KU’s best since Andrew Wiggins pulled down 19 boards on Jan. 13, 2014, at Iowa State — also earned him an audience with ESPN’s Dick Vitale on press row after KU’s 20th win in 24 tries and eighth league victory in 11 outings.

Cleveland — The Browns are defending their handling of Johnny Manziel’s late-season concussion.

The team issued a statement on Tuesday saying Manziel was diagnosed with a concussion on Dec. 30 by an independent neurologist, countering an NFL Network report that they lied about the injury to cover up the troubled quarterback showing up intoxicated for practice.

“Johnny Manziel came to our facility on the morning of December 30th and complained of concussion symptoms,” the statement read. “He was tested by an independent neurologist and entered the league’s concussion protocol. He remained in the protocol until January 12th after being cleared by the independent neurologist.”

The league’s in-house network reported citing an unnamed Browns player that the team “lied” to try to protect Manziel, who is being investigated by Dallas police on allegations of domestic violence.

Manziel missed the team’s season finale against Pittsburgh because of the concussion. He also didn’t report to a scheduled medical checkup for his head injury on Jan. 3 amid a report he was spotted partying in Las Vegas. The team did not know his exact whereabouts that day.

George Karl remains Sacramento coach

Sacramento, Calif. — George Karl remains the coach of the Sacramento Kings — for now.

General manager Vlade Divac said in a statement Tuesday that Karl “is our coach and we’re collectively working through our issues.”

Sacramento is 21-31 and on a four-game losing streak. The Kings have lost eight of 10 going into tonight’s game in Philadelphia.

They lost 120-100 at Cleveland on Monday night, raising speculation Karl might be fired Tuesday before the sides decided to try to work things out.

Free State boys’ rally falls short

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Overland Park — A nightmare start doomed Free State High’s boys basketball team on Tuesday against Shawnee Mission North.

In a battle between two of the last three undefeated teams in the Sunflower League, the Firebirds spent the majority of the time trying to fight back from a double-digit deficit in a 67-59 loss at SM North’s Fieldhouse.

The Firebirds knew they needed to slow down SM North seniors Michael Weathers and Marcus Weathers, two of the top scorers in the league.

The Weathers brothers had different plans from the opening tip.

The Indians (11-4, 6-0 in Sunflower League) made nine of their first 10 shots, sprinting to a 16-6 lead in the first six minutes. Michael Weathers, an athletic 6-foot-3 guard, showed off his ability to slither his way around defenders to

FREE STATE’S HUNTER GUDDE (30) tries to shoot past Shawnee Mission North defenders Tuesday night in Overland Park. the rim with a pair of layups, adding a jumper and an open-court dunk after grabbing a steal. Marcus Weathers, a 6-5 guard, made a couple of jumpers and a layup.

When Marcus Weathers picked up his second foul with two minutes left in the first quarter, forcing him to the bench for the next seven minutes, the Firebirds couldn’t take advantage. They missed a few open looks, had a couple of shots blocked and struggled at the free-throw line.

“We had a chance to

make a run to end the half, but we didn’t,” Free State coach Sam Stroh said. “Free throws were a struggle. Little things that we need to do better.”

Even with his brother sidelined because of fouls, Michael Weathers continued to find his way to the free-throw line, and he knocked down a threepointer. When Marcus Weathers returned to the court, he immediately grabbed a rebound and hit a three.

Michael Weathers led the Indians with 19 points and three steals, while

Marcus Weathers had 18 points, seven rebounds and two blocks.

“Most teams don’t have two players that difficult to guard,” said FSHS senior point guard Kristian Rawls, who had 10 points.

“We need to do a better job of sticking to the game plan.”

The fifth-ranked Firebirds (11-3, 5-1), no strangers to monumental comebacks this season, tried to rally in the fourth quarter. They scored on five of their first six possessions, including 10 points from senior wing Hunter Gudde, to cut the score to 55-47 with five minutes left. Senior Drew Tochtrop added a three-pointer in the spurt.

But eventually the shots stopped dropping, and Free State’s potential comeback was never closer than seven points.

“It’s too little, too late,” Stroh said. “I liked the way we fought, but it took us awhile to get going.”

Said Rawls: “We just talked about how many times we’ve came back.

We thought we could do it. But we need to start out games better if we want to beat great teams.”

Gudde scored 22 of his game-high 26 points in the second half, taking charge offensively for the Firebirds. The Indians had seven blocks, but Gudde continued to drive in the paint and fight for layups or earn his way to the free-throw line.

“When the game gets like that, I know I have to step up,” Gudde said. “I just started feeling it a little bit. But I have to start off like that, too.”

Lawrence High girls give SMNW test Ajekwu led the Lions to an 11-10 advantage before SM Northwest junior Emmalee Rose knocked down a three-pointer in the closing seconds of the first quarter. The momentum of the buzzerbeating trey carried over into the second quarter for the Cougars, as it marked the beginning of a 15-0 run. Ajewku ended the Lions’ drought with a bucket at the 1:40 mark of the second quarter, but the Cougars built a 28-16 advantage going into the half.

The Lions did not let history repeat itself from last March, though. The Cougars went on to rout the Lions, 46-23, in the sub-state final last season, but Lemus made it clear at the beginning of the third quarter that a

victory for SM Northwest would not be as easy on Tuesday. Lemus drained three three-pointers, and sophomore Talima Harjo added another as the Lions put together a 12-4 run to open the second half and cut SM Northwest’s lead to 32-28.

“It feels really good, and I know it helps the team kind of flow, too.

Talima hit a shot that helped, too,” Lemus, who led the Lions with 15 points, said. “It just gets a flame sparked in us to get going.”

The spark was not quite enough, though, to ignite the Lions into the win column.

Ajekwu continued to battle underneath — scoring six of her 14 points in the fourth. The freshman forward cut SM North-

fourth quarter, Piper set a screen, created a few inches of space from her defender and knocked down a game-tying triple.

“We were down three, and I was, like, ‘OK, I need to step up a little bit,’” Piper said. “So I think that making those shots got the team going and got in the right direction.”

On the next possession, Brown followed with a baseline jumper, assisted from senior guard Hannah Walter. Then Piper hit another three. Then Brown scored on a layupand-the-foul bucket, creating an 11-0 run in just more than two minutes for a 41-33 advantage.

“I think it’s just building up the confidence

to take that open shot,” Brown said, “because I haven’t usually done that in the past. I’m just trying to help my team win.”

Brown, a 5-foot-9 forward, made six of her seven shots from the floor, drilling jumpers from the free-throw line and baseline. Two summers ago, she tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in a knee. She only played the second half of last season, but she said it took about a month to get comfortable playing again.

In the first half Tuesday, Brown and Piper combined for 18 of the team’s 24 points.

“I think most of it was just mental, just that fear of hurting yourself again,” said Brown, who had 14 points and five rebounds. “You just really have to push past it and trust your knee and trust all of your doctors when

they say you’re good to go, which is what I did.”

The sixth-ranked Firebirds (11-4, 4-2 in Sunflower League) led by as many as nine points in the second quarter following a stretch in which they scored on seven of their eight possessions. Brown scored six points in the 13-5 run. Sophomore point guard Cameryn Thomas added a layup, and sophomore Erin Cushing hit a baseline jumper.

But Free State only scored six points in the third quarter — threepointers from Piper and sophomore Jaelyn Two Hearts — and the Indians (6-9, 3-3) tied the score, 30-all.

With sub-state drawing closer, Free State coach Bryan Duncan was disappointed by a lack of execution on both ends of the floor.

“I thought defensively

I just had to trust it and shot with confidence.”

While Roberts shot 5-for-14 from the field and 5-for-6 from the line to lead the Lions offensively, senior guard Anthony Harvey Jr. and Mallory had hot hands from beyond the arc to join him in double figures with 15 and 14 points, respectively.

“When they can contribute and score like they did tonight with Justin still getting back into things, it’s really important for our team,” Lawrence High coach Mike Lewis said.

All of Harvey’s points came by way of the trey, as he knocked down five of seven shots from deep.

The Lions (14-1 over-

all, 6-0 in the Sunflower League) made 10 of 23 from long distance, good for 43 percent.

“He’s a rhythm shooter, so when he hits one, his rhythm usually is going to be pretty good,” Lewis said.

Mallory was the Lions’ primary offensive weapon early, scoring seven of the team’s 12 points in a sluggish first quarter. The 6-2 junior hit the Lions’ first bucket after they went scoreless for the first four-plus minutes.

He followed with a triple and then found Harvey open on the perimeter on the next possession to help start a 12-0 run.

“The way we started the game, it was just kind

of an odd feel,” Lewis said.

“We couldn’t score, but we were working really hard on defense, and then a couple of those baskets fall. Jackson kept himself into it from his effort on the defensive end.”

The Cougars (6-9 and 1-5) did not go away quietly in the second half, as they tied it at 40 on a Noah Kendall layup for the first points of the fourth, but they never took the lead. The Lions iced the game at the freethrow line.

Lawrence High made 11 of its final 12 free throws in the last two minutes.

“We finally got some fouls going,” Roberts said.

“They brought in their JV and pretty much just fouled

Shawnee — The last time Lawrence High girls basketball coach Jeff Dickson returned to his old stomping grounds to coach the Lions against Shawnee Mission Northwest, he watched the Cougars jump to a 13-point lead in the first quarter to clinch a trip to the state tournament last season.

Dickson’s Lions were a much tougher test for the Cougars on Tuesday night at SM Northwest, but fell short against the No. 3-ranked team in Class 6A, 54-42.

that,” Roberts said. “It was fine. I feel like I was just playing normally and didn’t have any problems with it.”

The 5-foot-9 floor general took command from the start of the second half, drilling a threepointer from the left corner on the Lions’ first possession.

Jayhawks add Texas prep coach to staff

By Matt Tait mtait@kusports.com

The head football coach at the Texas high school where David Beaty once coached and played announced Monday that he was joining Beaty in Lawrence.

Jeff Jordan, who has spent the past 15 years leading the Garland High football program, will join the KU football staff as the director of personnel.

“I am incredibly excited about the next phase of my life,” Jordan wrote in a letter to the Garland community. “I am going to be the Director of Personnel for the University of Kansas football team, coached by my good friend (and fellow Owl) David Beaty. This job will take all of the things I have learned in 29 years of coaching high school football along with 28 years of working in the Dallas Cowboys Scouting Department and put it all together.”

It remains to be seen what Jordan’s exact role will be at Kansas. But it figures to include a heavy dose of dealing with the current roster off the field and looking under every rock to find future talent to add to the rebuilding program.

Jordan hinted at this notion in his letter.

“We are about to build a unique personnel department and talentevaluation system that I believe is going to revolutionize college football,” he wrote.

“There are very few people in the world that I would leave GHS for and Dave is one of them. ... I believe in his vision for Kansas football and what we can accomplish.”

In related news, Nolan Jones, a veteran of the business side of college football who spent the 2015 season as the director of football operations at Kent State, officially has joined the KU program.

Jones, who also has worked at Michigan, Northwestern, Southern Miss, Kentucky, Princeton and Eastern Kentucky, replaces Kevin Green, who left football last season to pursue another career after joining the Jayhawks under former KU coach Charlie Weis.

The additions of Jones and Jordan bring the significant new-face count in the KU football offices this offseason to four, with Beaty also bringing in linebackers coach Todd Bradford to replace the departed Kevin Kane, and outside wide receivers coach Jason Phillips from SMU to join Klint Kubiak in coaching KU’s wideouts.

BRIEFLY Kansas soccer names assistant Bri Young, a Texas Tech assistant soccer coach and former Texas A&M two-time All-American, has been named an assistant coach for Kansas University’s soccer team, head coach Mark Francis announced.

Young spent the last three seasons as a volunteer assistant and director of operations at Texas Tech. She played at Texas A&M from 2008-11.

KANSAS 75, WEST VIRGINIA 65

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Surprised by Lucas? Not Huggins

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

While Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders were busy winning the New Hampshire primaries, Kansas University junior Landen Lucas was dominating the game for the Jayhawks against West Virginia.

What kind of a bizarro world is this?

Known mostly as a role player who fills a defensive niche at KU’s revolving door of a 5 spot, Lucas helped KU hold off WVU, 75-65, Tuesday night at Allen Fieldhouse by making his sixth consecutive

start and delivering 16 rebounds and four blocks in 29 minutes while also adding nine points on 4-of-5 shooting.

Asked if he was surprised by Lucas’ ability to control things inside against his team and its band of bruisers, West Virginia coach Bob Huggins was succinct: “No.” KU coach Bill Self said he did not know whether Lucas’ reputation as a blue-collar, dowhatever-it-takes-type of player had made its way around the conference yet, but added that Lucas’ strong showing against the Mountaineers (19-5

overall, 8-3 Big 12) was no shock.

“When we played ’em last year (at home), I don’t know if you remember, but Landen made the play that put the game into overtime,” Self said.

“So he’s made some plays against West Virginia.”

So, too, has KU senior Perry Ellis. And the Wichita native was at it again Tuesday, leading KU with 21 points on 7-of-9 shooting.

Asked about Ellis’ strong night, which also could not have come as a surprise, Huggins chose to elaborate a little.

“He’s a great player,”

Huggins said. “I don’t know if his number will get retired. I don’t think there’s any room up there, is there? My God. I looked up there today.

Man, there’s a lot of (jersey numbers) hanging up there. He deserves to be up there, for sure.”

Despite falling behind by double digits multiple times during both halves, West Virginia kept firing back and forcing Kansas to respond. The Jayhawks (20-4, 8-3) did every time, leaving Huggins and company to lament the missed opportunity to take a twogame lead over Kansas in the Big 12 Conference

standings. Instead, KU, WVU and Oklahoma — which KU will face at 1:30 p.m. Saturday — now sit tied at the top at 8-3.

“We kind of helped with those answers, didn’t we?” Huggins asked. “We probably helped their cause. It wasn’t all them.

You gotta give us credit for screwing it up.”

Said WVU guard Jaysean Paige, who hit KU for a career-high 26 points in January but was limited to 14 on 5-of-16 shooting in the rematch: “They play tough here. They have great fans and a good environment to play in. When they go on runs, it’s hard to stop them

sometimes. The crowd gets into it, and it is just a tough place to play.”

With his annual trip to Lawrence now out of the way, Huggins did not sound like a man who would spend much more time this season worrying about the Jayhawks or where they are in the standings.

“All due respect to Kansas, I don’t think anybody in this league sits around and thinks about Kansas all the time,” Huggins said. “... I mean, do we think about Kansas?

We do right before we get ready to play ’em. Other than that, why would ya?”

“It was awesome. You grow up watching him.

There I am taking a selfie with him at the end of the interview. He’s all into selfies now,” said Lucas, who also chipped in nine points and had four blocked shots while helping slow down West Virginia’s Devin Williams (14 points, 4-of-10 shooting, nine boards).

“It’s something as a kid you dream of, so that’s pretty cool,” Lucas added of being summoned to a star-of-the-game interview with Vitale.

Another thing “cool” for Lucas was the fact his coach, Bill Self, made sure to shake Lucas’ hand before sending him over to the ESPN crew.

“He said, ‘Good job.’

He’s happy for me, which is nice,” Lucas said after his 29-minute effort.

Lucas helped KU to a 33-28 advantage on the boards against a Mountaineer team (19-5, 8-3) that whipped KU, 74-63, on Jan. 12 in Morgantown, W.Va. “If you told me before the game Landen and Perry (Ellis, 21 points, three assists) would combine for 17 rebounds, I’d say that would be a heck of an effort. I didn’t think one of them would get 16 of ’em though,” Self said jokingly. “He (Lucas) was the best player in the game. He did a great job on Devin. He has five blocks on the year and got four tonight and nine points and 16 rebounds

I know one possession early in the game he caught the ball under the basket, he hesitated, and they blocked his shot. That’s about the only faux pas he made. He played to scouting report and really was a primary reason we won the game.”

Lucas barely missed his second double-double of the season. He had 13 points and 12 boards against Chaminade in the Maui Invitational.

“It was the free throw (he made one of two). I did it to myself. That’s on me,” Lucas said. “My dad will probably give me some crap about that. I’ll work on it. Hopefully I’ll get one down at Oklahoma (1:30 p.m. Saturday).”

Lucas’ four blocks kind of came out of nowhere, considering he entered with just the five all season.

“He (Self) challenged

me to go after more shots.

He doesn’t want to say, ‘Get more blocks,’ because then you might go for stuff you can’t get,” Lucas said. “Just to challenge shots. It’s something Cheick (Diallo) ... I watch him do in practice all the time. He’s great.

Every time a shot was going up, I wanted to at least go jump and challenge it. I got my hand on a couple. I’ll continue to do that. I know it’s something he’s looking for from us.”

Self said, simply: “We have been trying to create more activity defensively.”

Lucas’ effort — he also had 10 boards and no points in a win over Texas — in such a big game made some reminisce about his recruitment.

Remember, Lucas was not ranked in the Class of 2012 by Rivals.com.

“When we recruited

Landen,” Self said, “we recruited him as a backup. We recruited him as a program guy. I remember talking to his dad (Richard, former Oregon player). He asked, ‘Do you think he’s going to be good enough to play here?’ I said, ‘Not as a freshman. Maybe some as a sophomore. By the time he’s a junior, he’s going to be a major contributor.’

“Everybody wants it to be immediate. Cheick and Carlton (Bragg Jr.) are better prospects coming in here. You guys saw tonight that (Lucas) is a kid that’s been through the wars, been in the weight room four years (including red-shirt year). He was going against a man (in Williams). He knows how to help you win a game. Those other kids will, too. They’re just a little young.”

Of forwards Diallo and Bragg, who played two and one minute Tuesday, Lucas said: “They deserve it (publicity). They had great high school careers and were highly recruited. They are going

to come in and do their thing, and it’s just our job as older guys to help them get prepared for times we will need them.”

As far as specifics of Tuesday’s victory, KU used a 14-6 run to run a narrow 56-52 lead with 7:22 left to 70-58. Ellis had seven points in that surge.

KU had five players finish in double figures. Ellis had 21, Frank Mason III 14, Wayne Selden Jr. 11 and Devonté Graham and Brannen Greene 10 each.

“It’s nice being at home.

The home crowd always helps,” Lucas said. “We knew we had to win this game. Every time they went on a little run and cut it down, we’d get together, talk amongst each other, just say, ‘Come out and get a stop.’ It was a good win, especially after what happened there.”

“We got punked in Morgantown,” Self said.

“Tonight I thought we were much more competitive. We made many, many more competitive plays. We played more like men than went to Morgantown.”

Shots falling for ‘Mr. Consistent’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University senior forward Perry Ellis, who hit seven of nine shots in Tuesday’s 75-65 victory over West Virginia, has cashed 26 of his last 34 attempts over three games.

That’s 76.5 percent marksmanship.

“Just in practice getting a lot of shots and getting game shots in,” Ellis said of the key to his hot streak. “Teammates feeding me, just trying to attack. They are falling.”

Ellis poured in a gamehigh 21 points Tuesday.

He was 1-of-2 from three and 6-for-7 from the line.

“He’s doing everything he has to, coming in early all the time (at practice), putting in the work, putting up shots,” KU senior forward Jamari Traylor said. “It’s what he does, being efficient.”

As far as Ellis’ practice

habits, Traylor added: “He comes a little bit earlier than the other guys.

By the time I’m getting in the gym, he’s in there getting up shots. Before a game, before practice, it’s what he does. He’s shooting from everywhere.

He’s starting out closer, getting in midrange, going side to side.

“He’s our go-to guy.

Mr Consistent. That’s all I can say. He’s playing great.”

Of Ellis, KU coach Bill Self said: “He’s been very efficient and consistent.

He’s been a rock for four years. He’s stellar. It’s hard to find any faults with a kid who conducts himself as he does.” l

Tough guard: KU guard Frank Mason III took an elbow to the face delivered by Tarik Phillip in the second half. Phillip was assessed a technical foul.

has as beautiful a jumper as any Kansas basketball player since Brandon Rush.

When Greene’s head is on straight and he squares his broad shoulders to the basket and then elevates higher than most, the mood of the crowd instantly improves, readying for an explosion.

Greene gave the crowd two of them and increased the decibels when he punched the air to punctuate the second. It’s natural for any basketball fan to want to see more of him because he has such a beautiful game.

If coaches thought like the rest of us, they would have to pay to see basketball games, instead of getting paid so handsomely to coach them. Greene’s focus can wander defensively, and then there was the issue of him dunking with two seconds left against Kansas State.

That led to the most entertaining Bill Self postgame interview session ever, but the coach wasn’t laughing during it. Fuming, seething, steaming, yes. Laughing, no.

Greene followed that up with a two stints on the floor in Fort Worth,

Documents currently housed at the University Archives at KU Libraries (in the Kenneth Spencer Research Library) include “blueprints of an experimental backboard, scripts of Allen’s radio program, and his correspondence featuring a set of letters between Allen and a very young Bob Dole.”

To help digitize and preserve such documents, KU fans can make donations at https:// www.launchku.org/project/1716.

To thank donors for their participation, incentives are provided at varying donation levels and include a chance to win KU basketball tickets, an invitation to a private event and more.

Go to https://lib. ku.edu/digitization-resources for more information.

Greene, who was requested but not made available for a postgame interview, had never shown West Virginia what they saw from him Tuesday night. In the five previous games vs. the Mountaineers, Greene had totaled just seven points, none coming in the 11 minutes he played in Morgantown last month.

The starters can’t do it all, not against a team as relentlessly aggressive as West Virginia, so his bounce-back effort was well-timed.

“It’s huge for us,” Frank Mason III said of KANSAS GUARD BRANNEN GREENE, SECOND FROM LEFT, IS Greene being in the mix.

Since we try to eat fish several times a week in our home, I always have some highquality tuna stashed in my cupboard. So this week, try my salade nicoise tartlets, then feel free to make these tartlet crusts your own.

Chuck the Chex for bacon sophistication

By Alison Ladman Associated Press

By Alison Ladman Associated Press

There is a time and place for a pint of ice cream and a spoon.

Or for a pile of cookies or box of doughnuts. A dinner party is neither the time nor the place.

This party requires desserts with a bit more panache.

That is why we created these simple lemon curd cups, an elegant dessert solution to the finer finger food fixings you’ll be serving. You start by making a simple lemon curd, which can be prepped up to a couple days ahead. Then just fill purchased mini phyllo cups with raspberry jam and the curd and top each with fresh berries. Done.

The phyllo cups can be found in the grocer’s freezer section. And while you’re at it, buy a few extra boxes and whip

up a batch of mini quiches to serve at the same party.

Directions: In a small saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch.

Add the eggs and whisk until Lemon Curd Cups completely smooth and no trace Start to finish: 30 minutes, plus of egg whites or yolks remains.

pets Make Manhattans.

Some of the cute drink names were arrived at with the help of Federle’s thousands of Twitter followers, who also voted on which proposed title for the book they liked best.

Federle, who grew up in San Francisco and Pittsburgh before moving to New York to dance on Broadway as a teenager, writes in multiple genres, including young adult fiction. His current project is co-writing “Tuck Everlasting,” a forthcoming Broadway musical based on the novel by Natalie Babbitt.

“Everything that got me sent to the principal’s office as a kid gets me paid now,” he said.

Modify a classic cocktail

By Michelle Locke Associated Press

Silver shakers and the silver screen go back a long time. Think French 75 from “Casablanca” and Agent 007’s dry martinis.

So for those of you planning to drink along at home for the Feb. 28 showing of the Oscars — or if you’re just planning a fun, funky dinner party with friends— now might be a good time to get your cocktail act together. And Tim Federle, author of “Gone with the Gin,” has a

few ideas about that.

From The Moon-Shining — moonshine, ruby red grapefruit juice, rum, that’s right, red rum — to Tequila Sunrise Boulevard the best-selling author has a lineup of cinematically inspired cocktails meant to be shaken, stirred and sipped with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Bubbly as a Champagne cocktail, “Gone with the Gin” nonetheless has serious underpinnings. Federle worked with talented bartender Cody Goldstein, founder of Muddling

Memories, a craft cocktail and bar consulting firm in New York. There also are useful sections on tools, techniques and even some fun food recipes.

“The approach was humorous and, yeah, they’d better taste good, too,” Federle said.

In all, Federle serves up 50 recipes organized by genre (drama, sci-fi, etc.), and each recipe comes with a brief but informative blurb about the movie in question. And if you are a punster, the titles will be a delight. A standout: Mup-

Ingredients: 2 ounces apple brandy 3/4 ounce sweet vermouth 1/2 ounce apple juice 1 1/2 teaspoons honey 3 dashes baked apple bitters (or orange bitters) Green apple slice, to garnish Bacon, to serve Directions: In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine all ingredients except the apple. Stir well, then strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with the apple slice. Serve with a slice of bacon (with apologies to Miss Piggy).

— Recipes adapted from Tim Federle’s “Gone with the Gin,” Running Press, 2015

Don’t even think about serving that old classic “party mix” at your dinner party. This isn’t an 8-year-old’s birthday party.

So it’s time to class up your party mix act.

And with this recipe for spiced bacon pecans, you’ll have no trouble.

We start with bacon because, well, because all good things start with bacon. Once the bacon is nice and crispy, all you have to do is toss in some pecans and a whole mess of seasonings. A bit of brown sugar ties it all together.

Not a fan of pecans?

Peanuts, cashews or walnuts would be just as delicious.

Spiced Bacon Pecans Start to finish: 15 minutes Makes 2 1/2 cups

Party CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1CRA

5 small new or baby potatoes, cooked and thinly sliced 5-ounce can oil-packed tuna, drained 2 hardboiled eggs, chopped 2 tablespoons chopped marinated olives 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Directions: Heat the oven to 375 F. Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread slices until doughy and thin.

Spritz both sides of each slice with olive oil cooking spray, then sprinkle light with salt and pepper. Press each slice into a muffin tin cup. Bake until golden, about 13

Ingredients: 4 strips bacon, diced 2 cups pecan halves 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 1/2 teaspoon flaked salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 3 tablespoons brown sugar Directions: Line a rimmed baking sheet with kitchen parchment.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until almost crispy. Add the pecans and toss to coat thoroughly, then cook, stirring frequently, until evenly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, cayenne, salt, pepper and brown sugar. Toss with the bacon and pecans and cook for another minute.

Spread out on the prepared baking sheet and allow to cool fully. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. minutes. Remove the bread cups from the pan, then set aside to cool on a rack.

Meanwhile, prepare the salad. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, red wine vinegar and lemon juice.

Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking into a vinaigrette. Add the thyme, then season with salt and pepper.

Set aside half of the vinaigrette to use later.

Add the tomatoes, lettuce and green beans to the remaining dressing and toss to coat. Once the tartlet crusts are cooled, layer the sliced potatoes on the bottom of each cup. Top the potatoes with the tomato mixture, then the crumbled eggs, tuna, chopped olives and chives. Finish each with a drizzle of dressing on top.

Consuming Too Many Sugars Doubles Risk of Heart Death Consuming large amounts of dietary sugars can double the risk of dying from heart disease, according to a study by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia.

Quanhe Yang, PhD, and his colleagues analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which included nutrition and medical information from the late 1980s through 2010. The data was based on questionnaires completed by 31,147 people.

Yang and his colleagues calculated the consumption of “all sugars used in processed or prepared foods, such as sugar-sweetened beverages, grain-based desserts, fruit drinks, dairy desserts, candy, ready-to-eat cereals, and yeast breads.” However, they did not include naturally occurring sugars, such as those found in fruit and fruit juices.

People who consumed 10 percent of their calories as sugars—sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup, and other caloric sweeteners—had a 30 percent greater risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases. Those who consumed 25 percent of their calories as sugars were almost three times more likely to die from cardiovascular diseases, compared with people who consumed less than 10 percent of their calories from sugars.“Most U.S. adults consume more added sugar than is recommended for a healthy diet,” wrote Yang and his colleagues.

Reference: Yang Q, Shang Z, Gregg EW, et al. Added sugar intake and cardiovascular disease mortality among US adults. JAMA Internal Medicine, 2014: doi 10.1001/jamainternmed.2013.13563.

It’s Not Just the Soft Drinks, Folks Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill analyzed the consumption of low-calorie and calorie-sweetened soft drinks and accompanying eating habits. They found that people consuming such drinks ate lower quality diets compared with people who did not drink such beverages.

Ubiquinone and ubiquinol are both forms of CoQ10, which the body uses to produce the cellular energy that drives all physiological processes. It also acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting proteins, fats, and DNA from oxidative damage. Young bodies in good health cycle back and forth between ubiquinone and ubiquinol—the “reduced,” or antioxidant form—but this natural conversion process slows with age. A number of human studies have shown that in older adults, ubiquinol can significantly increase blood levels of CoQ10 for longer periods of time, compared to ubiquinone. Experts recommend that you opt for ubiquinol if you are over the age of 40 to maintain healthy blood levels to support optimal energy production, antioxidant protection, and cardiovascular and neurological health.*
