Oread group submits audit report Attorney, city decline to release record

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @NikkiWentling

The wholesale company at the center of a $500,000 tax dispute between the city and developers of The Oread hotel sent its anticipated report about a cityordered audit that accused it of filing incorrect sales tax returns, city officials said Wednesday, but both

the city and an attorney for the company declined to release it.

The city was told in late December that Oread Wholesale LC, a wholesale company within a special taxing district at 1200 Oread Ave., had retained experts to analyze the findings of the

audit and respond when a review was complete. In response to a records request, Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard said Wednesday the report and a letter had been delivered to the city, but the city wouldn’t release it because it contained sales tax data.

Though the city could redact the sales tax information, City Attorney Toni Wheeler said, the remaining portions of the report were also deemed by the city to be exemptions to the Kansas Open Records Act. The

Topeka — The Kansas House on Wednesday gave first-round approval to a $6.3 billion budget bill that contains punitive limits on how Kansas University can spend tuition and fee funds next year, limits KU says would severely hamper its ability to manage its programs.

That language was inserted into the bill by the House Appropriations Committee in reaction to KU’s decision to issue $327 million in bonds to finance its Central District development project, using a Wisconsin pub- LEGISLATURE lic finance agency so it could avoid having to get legisla- Inside: House passes bill to tive approval.

Topeka — Republicans blocked a debate Wednesday in the Kansas House on a proposed expansion of the state’s Medicaid program before giving first-round approval to budget-balancing legislation.

The bill advancing on a voice vote eliminates a projected deficit of nearly $200 million in the budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1. House members expect to take a final vote today, when the Senate plans to consider its own plan.

During a five-hour debate, the GOPdominated House voted 85-37 against debating a proposal from Democratic Rep. Jim Ward of Wichita to expand for three years the health program for the poor, a move encouraged by President Please see MEDICAID, page 2A

Those funds include money universities receive in tuition, campus fees, student housing and parking fees, just to name a few.

“I wish somebody would come down and offer an amendment ... to just take the Regents institutions off altogether,” Ballard said.

But Ballard did not offer such an amendment herself. And in fact, KU officials said they did not ask any legislators to do so.

“We did not, but it is a long process. Today we took care of the medical center,” KU Vice Chancellor Tim Caboni said in an email.

Caboni and other lawmakers said KU and the Board of Regents are trying instead to take a less confrontational stance in responding to the Legislature.

House passes bill to limit penalties for youth sexting Topeka (ap) — The Kansas House has approved a bill designed to moderate penalties for sexting among middle and high school students, which now can carry a prison sentence of more than a decade.

The chamber's 123-0 vote on Wednesday sends the measure to the Senate. The bill is focused on 12- to 18-year-olds accused of transmitting images of a nude child.

Under existing state law, prosecutors were restricted to filing a felony that carried a prison sentence up to 11 years and four months and lifetime registration as a sex offender.

The bill establishes three options with varying penalties for hanand development.”

Some lawmakers, however, responded harshly to that statement, and the Senate budget committee then added language to its own bill going even further, prohibiting KU from using any state funds or special revenue funds to make lease payments on the Central District project.

“If you read some of the comments from Mr. Caboni, they are flippant and unfortunate, and I’m shocked at some of the comments (in the news media) that he said,” Sen. Michael O’Donnell, R-Wichita, said during a committee hearing Tuesday.

Wilson said there was general agreement the KU restrictions should not be turned into an issue on the House floor.

“My sense is, there would have been not only pushback, but consequences for that which would have been worse for KU,” he said.

“I’ve been surprised at just how much anger there is at KU this session,” he said. “Certainly there could have been more communication on all parts, but I don’t like how petty it’s gotten in the Legislature

dling so-called "sexting" cases based on simple possession of the image, transmission of an image and aggravated transmission of the image. Depending on the offense, the penalties could range from up to six months in jail to prison time.

"It provides a targeted and appropriate response that is proportional response to the acts these children engage in," Rep. Blaine Finch, R-Ottawa, said.

Finch said the moderated sanctions would permit prosecutors to intervene with young people who commit these acts, but afford the individuals an opportunity for counseling or mental health treatment outside of prison.

Kansas wheat disabled are pushing for an expansion of the Medicaid program. The 2010 federal health care law encouraged states to expand their Medicaid programs by promising that the federal government would pick up almost all of the costs.

“This is vital to the future of Kansas,” Ward said.

“Today is the day.”

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and GOP legislative leaders have argued that the federal government can’t be trusted to keep its funding promises because of its own budget problems. Opponents also believe expanding Medicaid would be far more expensive for Kansas than supporters of the idea say.

“It could well go into the hundreds of millions of

The House’s action came a day after Senate health committee Chairwoman Mary PilcherCook, a conservative Shawnee Republican, attempted to force a debate on expanding Medicaid in her chamber — in hopes of killing a proposal. The Senate rules committee declared her effort out of order Tuesday.

The House’s Republican leaders were hoping their chamber would give their budget-balancing plan firstround approval Wednesday, so that the chamber could take a final vote today. The Senate planned to debate its own plan today.

Food and monetary donations to the food bank Just Food have remained steady in the months since Jeremy Farmer, its former executive director — and former Lawrence mayor — resigned from his position over allegations he took about $55,000 from the organization over a three-year period.

County OKs permit for soccer complex

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

The Douglas County Commission unanimously approved Wednesday a conditional-use permit for a soccer complex just southeast of Lawrence after adding two stipulations addressing neighbors’ concerns.

The complex is to be built southeast of the intersection of North 1300 Road and East 1750 Road. Known as Calcio Village, the complex would have five regulation grass fields, five smaller practice fields, a

parking lot and facilities for concessions, storage and staff use on the site.

A pond to collect water for irrigation is also planned. The phase I plans are confined to the eastern 40 acres of the 80-acre site.

Although no one opposed the complex at a public hearing on the permit, four residents who live on North 1300 Road voiced concerns about the traffic it would add to the narrow, hilly 1300 Road, which Wakarusa Township maintains.

Food CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

In 2014, Just Food received $565,422 in monetary donations and 799,682 pounds of food donations, Keever said. That’s up from 2014, when the food bank received $480,117 and 339,262 pounds of food.

Through the organization’s food recovery program, which started in late 2014, Just Food collected about 600,000 pounds of food in 2015, up from about 200,000 in 2014.

The food bank has also completed other fundraisers, such as “Jay’s Dinner,” in honor of the late Lawrence chef Juan Carlos “Jay” Tovar-Ballagh, which raised $5,400 for Just Food on Feb. 4.

Proceeds from a concert this Saturday with Lawrence-based songwriter Kelley Hunt will also go to the food bank.

Keever said she’d also welcome an initiative introduced by City Commissioner Matthew Herbert to allow downtown parking violations to be paid with food donations to people’s food pantry of choice.

He went on to college, earning a degree in Spanish and a master’s degree in history from Wichita State University. He received his doctorate in Latin American history from Tulane University.

It was in New Orleans, at a Tulane faculty party on a banana boat, where Stansifer’s fascination with the fruit began, he said in a 2011 Journal-World story.

An inability to access records from the United Fruit Company stymied his idea of doing a disser-

.

A proposal about the idea has not been brought before the City Commission. Herbert asked at a commission meeting earlier this month that it be placed on an upcoming agenda.

In response to a Journal-World editorial about the proposal, Herbert wrote that Farmer’s actions had an effect on the amount of donations to Just Food.

While that isn’t the case, Keever said, having people make food donations in lieu of paying parking tickets would help.

The smallest increase the food bank saw in 2015 was of nonperishable food items, she said.

Those donations increased by 15,000 pounds.

“Just to correct the record, we actually haven’t seen a decline,” Keever said. “But we always see a decline at the beginning of the year of canned food items, which a program like that would really help. Unfortunately, there are times when the need exceeds the amount budgeted and available.”

“I measured the road,” said Diana McNish of 1643 North 1300. “It’s 23-foot wide. With this much traffic, there will be safety issues.”

North 1300 Road was one of four possible routes to the site, developer Joe Comparato said. He agreed North 1250 Road provided safer access and said those using the complex would be encouraged to avoid North 1300 Road.

Larry McElwain, of Lawrence, asked that commissioners consider protecting from noise a wildlife sanctuary on property immediately to the east of the 80-acre complex.

Commission Chairman Jim Flory addressed that concern with a stipulation that the developer plant the appropriate vegetative screening at least two years before submitting site plans for any use of the east 40 acres.

He was known for donning banana glasses and other collection items for his humorous semesterly banana lectures.

“You couldn’t do the history of Central America without being interested in bananas,” Stansifer told the newspaper.

“That was essential.”

Stansifer started at KU as an assistant professor of history in 1963 and retired in 2004. He directed KU’s Center for Latin American Studies from 1975-89 and

chaired the department of history from 1993 to 1996.

He served for more than 20 years on the board of directors of the KansasParaguay Partnership and negotiated the first university exchange agreements between universities in Paraguay and the state universities of Kansas, according to KU. He also was the driving force behind the digitization of Central American Theses and Dissertations Collections available in KU ScholarWorks, and left contributions to KU Libraries.

Other stipulations that the Planning Commission added to the permit were that lights for the one illuminated field be shielded, and that no activities at the complex start before North 1300 Road and East 1750 Road are restored to the condition they were in before work started on the South Lawrence Trafficway.

Several trends were noticeable at the session, and they became more pronounced when Treanor asked the approximately 30 community members, Bert Nash employees and county staffers in attendance to vote for the suggestions most important to them.

Favored in the voting was the inclusion of a substance-abuse detox room at the crisis center, space for families and children visiting patients and a design in which regular maintenance and other required activities produce minimal stress for patients.

The exterior images most favored were of a resort-lodge nature with the additional preference that it reflect its Kansas setting. Those images and floor plans featured abundant natural light and use of indoor-outdoor space.

Treanor and Dan Rowe, Treanor Architects president, said those elements were planned for the crisis center because of their proven therapeutic value. Other suggestions of note were the need for public transportation at the site, safety assurances such as a metal detector to prevent weapons from entering the facility and the possibility of closing Second Street between Bert Nash’s headquarters in the Community Heath Facility and the future crisis center to the north.

As proposed, the crisis center would be built where the old VFW lodge now stands south of Sandra J. Shaw Community Health Park. Just to the west of the site is a Lawrence school district maintenance yard. Rowe said Douglas County was in discussions about swapping property with the school district to free

up use of the yard for crisis center use.

The community will have further opportunity to comment on the crisis center’s design. Rowe said photographs of the whiteboards and a list of suggestions would be posted on Treanor’s and Bert Nash’s websites with an invitation for further public comment.

Another public workshop on the design, at which preliminary floor plan options will be shared, will take place in about a month, Rowe said.

“My hope is the public feels a part of the process and takes ownership of the design,” he said. “That’s how we will get it right.”

Asked how much the crisis center would cost, Rowe suggested it would fall within the $6 million to $10 million range.

Some of the suggestions shared at the charrette, such as the detox center, also focused on programming, Douglas County Commission Chairman Jim Flory said.

There will be meetings reserved for public comment on programming as crisis center planning moves forward, he said.

The County Commission and Bert Nash have agreed to a memorandum of understanding that has the county funding construction of the crisis center on the land Bert Nash makes available. Flory and his fellow commissioners were committed to moving ahead on the project, Flory said, and commissioners will have a work session in about a month to consider possible financing mechanisms for the crisis center.

“My last day on the commission is Jan. 9, 2017,” he said. “I want to have all the groundwork in place for this when I leave.”

city cited two statutes, one exempting records that, if released, would interfere in the process of detecting or investigating violations of civil law or administrative rules and regulations. The other allows the exemption of records in which opinions are expressed or actions are proposed.

“They did submit to us a letter and report to the city ... but we are declining to provide the report because it contains sales tax data,” Stoddard said. “I don’t have any further updates I can share.”

The city-ordered audit accused the developers of using Oread Wholesale to inflate sales in a special taxing district at 1200 Oread Ave. in order to increase the total reimbursed by the city. Under a redevelopment agreement, a large percentage of local sales tax dollars collected in the special taxing district is rebated back to the group. Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel leads both Oread Inn and Oread Wholesale.

Incorrect sales tax returns filed by Oread Wholesale were used by Oread Inn to receive $429,914.85 in “improper” rebates, according to the audit’s findings.

Attorneys for both Oread Inn and Oread Wholesale have contested demands made by the city, including handing over financial documents Oread Wholesale used to complete its sales tax returns. Attorneys for both entities have said in letters that the city lacks the authority under the redevelopment agreement to make such demands.

The group did repay nearly $500,000 demanded by the city by a Dec. 31 deadline, but it did so “under protest.”

Oread Inn’s attorney, Roger Walter, has called the audit “one-sided,” “inflammatory” and “inaccurate.”

Walter further contended in a Jan. 18 letter that the city violated Kansas law by using money from a tax increment financing fund to pay for the city’s audit of Oread Wholesale.

When asked Wednesday for details about Oread Wholesale’s most recent letter and report to the city, an attorney for Oread Wholesale, Edward Frizell, sent a statement saying that Oread Inn and Oread Wholesale were working with the city and were “hopeful a resolution can be found in the near term.”

The full statement reads: “The Oread companies remain committed to working with the City of Lawrence. The companies are in communication with the

City of Lawrence and have provided information to the City regarding pertinent issues and relevant matters.

“The companies look forward to continuing to cooperate with the City of Lawrence and are hopeful a resolution can be found in the near term. The Oread companies have acted reasonably and within their rights under Kansas law.”

Frizell cited ongoing discussions with the city, as well as the “confidential aspects of the material, discussions and information” as reasons he did not want to share more at this time.

One concern raised in the city-ordered audit was that Oread Wholesale was listed as having an address at the hotel, even though there appeared to be no signs the construction wholesale company actually operated there.

According to city records, Oread Wholesale has been present since 2010 on a list of tenants in the special taxing district given annually from Oread Inn to the city.

The list is an obligation under the group’s redevelopment agreement and has been sent to the city every year since 2010.

Stoddard said Oread Wholesale’s presence on the list was not previously seen as a sign of a problem.

“With the types of reports that we get, it’s very difficult to flag issues,” Stoddard said.

Girlfriend’s ‘weird’ ritual is cause for concern Dear Annie: My girlfriend has a thing that she does with her 10-year-old son that I find borderline weird.

The first time I was at her home, while we were cooking dinner together, her son started whining, “Can we do it now, please? Please?” and she says OK and tells me she’ll be back in a minute. The two of them then go into the living room. She sits on the sofa and, within view of the boy’s sister and myself, he strips down to his underwear and jumps on her lap.

She starts bouncing him up and down on her leg, pinching his butt and tickling him, with his legs wrapped around hers.

I asked her 12-yearold daughter how often they do that, and she said every night.

Dear Normal: And you only find this “borderline weird”? This is shockingly inappropriate. It’s one thing for a 10-year-old boy to sit on Mom’s lap. It’s something else entirely when he strips down to his skivvies, wraps his legs around her and gets tickled, pinched and bounced up and down.

First scripted truTV show a true flop Another swipe at educators, “Those Who Can’t” (9:30 p.m., truTV, TV-MA) represents the network’s first foray into scripted programming. Adam Cayton-Holland, Andrew Orvedahl and Ben Roy star as teachers who are more immature and insecure than the adolescents in their charge. Maria Thayer plays a sassy new librarian who pities the hapless trio but often joins in their shenanigans.

In the first episode, the teachers are taunted by the school’s biggest bully, the spoiled son of a rich and politically connected figure. Their efforts to keep the mean teen in line all backfire in various humiliating ways.

I’m a tad confused. Do we side with the pathetic teachers? Or their privileged tormentor? “Can’t” takes place in Colorado and has fun with the state’s aggressively healthy and bearded post-hippie vibe. The cast members emerged from The Grawlix, a Denver-based comedy troupe. Much of their un-witty banter has the feel of an improv group working on its craft, striving for something funny, but settling for self-congratulation.

Part of the Turner Broadcasting family, truTV has been all but defined by reality programming, like “Impractical Jokers” (10 p.m., TV-14), now entering its fifth season. The channel started out in 1991 as Court TV. And that network’s fortunes exploded in 1994-95 with its endless coverage of the O.J. Simpson trial. That, of course, is the subject of FX’s acclaimed and addictive “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.”

And speaking of Turner, I thought TBS was its place for comedy. Why isn’t “Can’t” airing on the “funny” network? Is it because it “Can’t” scare up a laugh?

Officer’s lawsuit an act of contempt

EDITORIALS

KCI future It’s probably time for Kansas City to do something about its airport. We can only hope it will be a plus, not a minus, for airline travelers.

L

awrence residents won’t get to vote on plans to renovate or replace Kansas City International Airport, but we still feel like we have a stake in the future of our airport.

After more than two years of discussion, Kansas City leaders reportedly are focusing on several options for the airport, but none that preserve the horseshoe terminals that many travelers have learned to love for their convenient access and parking. The options currently drawing the most attention are two plans that would demolish Terminal A and replace it with a single terminal that would house all the airport’s operations and two plans that would make major renovations to both Terminal A and B. All of the scenarios include additional parking garages.

Building a new terminal would cost about $1 billion, and renovating the two existing terminals would cost about $1.2 billion. In both cases, officials say the costs would be paid by for with airport and airline fees, not by tax dollars. Parking fees might rise slightly (whatever that means), they say, but the project wouldn’t have much, if any, impact on airline ticket prices (how would we know?).

Plans to upgrade KCI are driven by several concerns. One of the major changes in the design will be central security points through which all passengers would pass before fanning out to get to their gates. It’s clear that the existing terminals weren’t designed to easily accommodate modern security needs, and the makeshift system that allows one security checkpoint to serve multiple gates is far from ideal. Plans also are expected to provide better access to food and other amenities that are difficult to provide in the narrow bands outside and inside secured areas at KCI. In other words, the plans will make KCI look a lot more like all other major U.S. airports.

It’s easy to mourn the loss of the threeterminal convenience of KCI, but the reality is that the airport isn’t as convenient as it once was. Terminal A has been mothballed, and Terminal B is serving more passengers causing parking problems and long security lines during peak times. The 43-year-old airport also is showing its age, including infrastructure issues beneath the terminal buildings.

Something needs to be done. As with any new project, there are bound to be things people don’t like about the new plan, but there also may be some things that people find more convenient or comfortable once they get used to them.

Airline travel, in general, isn’t as much fun as it used to be. Hopefully, officials can come up with a new terminal design and facilities that will enhance, not detract, from that experience for travelers passing through KCI.

First he killed him. Now he’s suing him.

I have no idea whether Robert Rialmo, the Chicago police officer who shot 19-year-old Quintonio LeGrier to death the day after Christmas, was justified in doing so. Certainly, the sequence of events Rialmo describes seems to suggest he was within bounds when he opened fire.

According to Rialmo, Bettie Jones, a 55-year-old grandmother, had just let him into the apartment building where he had been called to quell a domestic disturbance when LeGrier, a college sophomore with a history of emotional problems, charged down the stairs wielding a baseball bat.

As Rialmo tells it, LeGrier ignored repeated orders to drop the bat and twice swung at the officer’s head, missing him by just inches. That, says Rialmo, is when he opened fire.

If that is, indeed, how it happened, then it would seem Rialmo had no choice.

If. Unfortunately, as cellphone and dashcam videos have too frequently shown us in recent years, there can be a vast gulf between what a police officer says and what the truth actually is.

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Effective policing requires that an officer project authority and trustworthiness. Every lie and compromise of justice undermines that.”

There is no video here, but there is an autopsy report which indicates that of the six shots that struck LeGrier, one was in his back and another in his behind, which would seem to indicate that at some point during the barrage at least, he was not facing Rialmo. Not incidentally, one of Rialmo’s shots passed through LeGrier and fatally struck Jones, who was behind him.

It is a body of evidence that is, at best, open to interpretation. But about Rialmo’s decision to sue LeGrier’s estate, it’s a lot easier

to reach a hard conclusion: Rialmo should be ashamed of himself.

The suit is ostensibly a counterclaim to the wrongful death suits filed by the Jones and LeGrier families against the city. Rialmo is seeking up to $10 million for his “pain and suffering … “ But this is less a lawsuit than it is an act of gall, a product of the kind of petulance, pettiness and spite we have seen too often in recent years from too many police officers.

Don’t get me wrong. I believe most of the people who get into that profession do so for honorable reasons. In fact, I think that in the field of public service, cops are among the greatest — and last — true believers.

But I also believe that when a police officer meets legitimate inquiries about use of force by engaging in a work slowdown as has happened in New York and Baltimore, or by turning his back on the mayor at a police funeral as happened in New York, or by acting with blatant thuggishness toward protesters as happened in Ferguson, Mo., or by suing the family of the teenager he killed, as is happening now in Chicago, what is expressed is not public service, but public contempt.

Rialmo, after all, must know that, even in the very unlikely event he should prevail, he will not collect $10 million from the estate of a dead college sophomore. So obviously, he is doing this not as a means of enrichment, nor as a salve for his “pain and suffering,” but rather, as a brushback pitch, a middle digit salute, and a message.

How dare we question him? How dare we hold him to account?

As noted above, it’s a message that has grown drearily familiar. Perhaps it is time for a message in response: The police cannot be above the law they enforce.

The police must be answerable to the people they serve.

I get that that’s unpleasant, but it’s also critical. Effective policing requires that an officer project authority and trustworthiness. Every lie and compromise of justice undermines that. And every act of petulant gall just makes other officers’ work that much more difficult.

So Rialmo has done his profession no favors here.

When you project contempt toward the public, what do you expect the public to give you in return?

PUBLIC FORUM

Rep. responds

Private sector values education

By Gene Budig and Alan Heaps

Corporations of today see economic strength continuing in the U.S. if creativity and performance are recognized and rewarded and executives are willing to shovel more private dollars to the schools that produce needed and timely reformation.

Able teachers are high on their list of concerns — not so much so with elected state and national representatives.

Despite repeated pleas from leaders in business and industry to pay appreciably more attention to the needs of teachers and innovative programs in elementary and secondary schools, the political circles are seemingly more interested in lesser topics.

Like getting elected.

The latter group does not seem to understand that in an increasingly competitive, technological and connected world, our individual and collective welfare depends on education. More than ever, in fact.

Few would have predicted that business and industry would be more concerned with the plight of teachers and classrooms than the elected representatives of the citizenry.

Despite some reports to the contrary, teachers like their jobs. Some studies indicate that nearly 90 percent of teachers are satisfied with their professional lot. Recent surveys also tell us that as high as 75 percent of the

public have confidence and trust in public school teachers.

Unfortunately, attrition rates are high and Budig continuing to rise; nearly half of the teaching force leaves within the first years.

That is an increase of more than Heaps 50 percent in the past 15 years.

And in some settings, the situation is even worse. Attrition is well over 25 percent in many urban schools, and that is especially troubling to business leaders who contend this cannot continue if cities are to be attractive destinations in which to live. Teachers are woefully underappreciated and underpaid. Even a majority of politicians agree.

One needs to acknowledge that teacher turnover costs school districts nearly $8 billion a year and that cannot be sustained. It is a societal travesty. But there are emerging rays of hope as the private sector is more and more receptive to reaching out with a firm and helping hand.

To be fair, many candidates for public office are not comfortable debating is-

sues surrounding education; those matters are complicated and complex, more often than not, involving volatile matters like social class, race and the economy.

Democracy depends on civic engagement, and civic engagement is a learned skill. It cannot be relegated.

And this lack of attention has very real consequences. Reality leads us to fear that the new year will provide little, if any, relief in terms of new state and local dollars. Capital spending to build and renovate schools may also suffer.

Many in education are worried and for good reason. A majority of university chancellors/presidents do not anticipate much new public support. Rather, many see possible slippage in terms of state support and further tuition and fee increases that force many deserving students to abandon hope for graduation. Student loans are spiraling out of control, and no answer is in sight.

Perhaps the only bright spot is growing access to needed and valued community colleges where many students keep their aspirations alive. These two-year colleges mean immediate job opportunities and an opening for four-year degrees.

— Gene Budig has led three major state universities, including Kansas University, and was president of Baseball’s American League. Alan Heaps is a former vice president at the College Board.

To the editor: I wanted to clear up some confusion from a Feb. 9 letter to the editor, and discuss how my Mental Health First Aid Act will help our communities identify and respond to mental health issues.

I first got involved on this issue more than a decade ago while serving on the board of the Family Service and Guidance Center in Topeka and ultimately on the board of the National Council for Behavioral Health.

In Congress, I continued my work to promote mental health issues by introducing the Mental Health First Aid Act with Congresswoman Doris Matsui, D-Calif. This life-saving legislation helps our first responders and many other public servants receive proper training by behavioral health professionals on how to identify and respond to someone suffering from mental health issues.

The bipartisan legislation would give vital tools to communities to help identify individuals living with mental health illness before tragedy strikes.

I am proud of the nearly $45 million in funding we have secured for Mental Health First Aid Training grants and proud that Bert Nash is a leader on this front. However, there is still much more work to be done, and I have sponsored other mental health bills to begin addressing those concerns.

I was honored to receive the prestigious National Council for Behavioral Health Champion award this year and I will continue my bipartisan effort to raise awareness and funding for mental health initiatives while creating commonsense solutions to help those who suffer from mental health issues and disorders.

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Kan.

BUSH DONORS: YES! 4TH PLACE

Elon Musk lost $3.5B on 2 companies Matt Krantz USA TODAY

It’s been an ugly stock market for most investors. But inventor and investor Elon Musk is having an exceptionally bad year — not just on one investment but two.

Musk’s holdings in electric car maker Tesla and solar panel installer SolarCity are down a staggering $3.5 billion since the end of last year on Dec. 31, 2015. Musk is the largest single owner of both companies, which together have handed all investors total market value losses of $15.7 billion this year.

BLOOMBERG Musk got Elon Musk some relief Wednesday. Tesla shares jumped 10% in early after-hours trading, after it gave fourth quarter results and said it will turn a profit this year. Even if the 10% gain sticks, Musk’s loss on the two stocks this year would be $3 billion.

Both of Musk’s firms have lost favor with investors as the market punishes companies that are thin on profit but high on valuation.

Falling oil prices also hurt enthusiasm for alternative energy.

Musk is now down $682 million in his shares of SolarCity this year. Shares of SolarCity were down 48% this year before another 29% drop on Wednesday. His $4.2 billion stake in Tesla makes his position in SolarCity look minor. Shares of Tesla are down 40% this year through Wednesday’s close, a nearly $12 billion loss to investors of which Musk has personally eaten $2.8 billion.

Finally.

Donors supporting Jeb Bush exulted Wednesday at his fourthplace finish in New Hampshire, saying the former Florida governor has found his footing at last in a chaotic Republican presidential race.

The battle now heads to South Carolina, where Bush already was campaigning Wednesday on a national security message he hopes will resonate with the state’s large numbers of active-duty military personnel and veterans.

“He needed to be in the game, and last night, he was able to do so,” said Barry Wynn, a former South Carolina Republican Party chairman, who is raising money for Bush. Although Donald Trump tops GOP polls in the Palmetto State, Wynn denounced the billionaire’s “Kardashianstyle vulgarity.”

“I don’t think that sells as well in the South, as it does in New England,” he said. “You may find that South Carolina corrects some of the mistakes of New Hampshire.”

Bush entered the presidential race last year with the biggest war chest and the best-known name in the Republican primary field but fell behind the pack after unsteady performances on the campaign trail and in the early GOP debates.

David Beightol, a Washington lobbyist who signed on as an early fundraiser for Bush’s campaign, called the New Hampshire results a “nice reset.”

Bush’s task now is “to convince people that although he has an establishment name, he’s anti-establishment in his actions,” Beightol said, citing Bush’s confrontations with teachers’ unions and use of the line-item veto as Florida governor.

Bush could be helped by the departure of two rivals. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina ended their bids for the Republican nomination Wednesday after finishing sixth and seventh, respectively, in New Hampshire.

On Wednesday, Bush emphasized his experience as he pivoted to the first-in-the-South primary.

“We need a proven leader in Washington, D.C., to fix the mess, not just talk about how bad things are,” Bush said on MSNBC. He WASHINGTON

Sanders faces test on whether he can appeal to minorities Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Now comes the real test for Sen. Bernie Sanders.

After trouncing Hillary Clinton in Tuesday’s Democratic presidential primary in New Hampshire, the Vermont senator must prepare to face more diverse electorates as he turns to contests in Nevada on Feb. 20 and South Carolina on Feb. 27.

Sanders has momentum after finishing just 0.3 points behind Clinton at the Iowa caucuses and crushing her by more than 20 points in New Hampshire. It’s unclear whether that will be enough to overcome the former secretary of State’s name recognition and long-standing support among African-American voters in later nominating matchups.

Those voters are likely to make up more than half the electorate in South Carolina’s primary.

“The results of the last two weeks combined showed he’s a viable candidate,” said Robert Oldendick, a University of South Carolina political science professor. “It will cause the Democratic

primary voters here to take him a little more seriously, take a closer look at him. But … Clinton’s lead is very solid.”

Clinton led Sanders more than 2-1 in an NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist South Carolina poll Jan. 17-23. Her 64%-27% advantage over Sanders among likely Democratic primary voters was largely because of backing from 74% of African-American likely voters, compared with 17% for Sanders.

Nationally, Clinton leads Sanders among Latinos, who will play

a prominent role at the Nevada caucuses. Most Southern states that will hold nominating contests March 1 have sizable minority populations.

Sanders, who has represented mostly white Vermont in Congress for two decades, rallied young people with his calls to end the “rigged economy” that he says is maintained by a corrupt campaign-finance system. He said during his victory speech Tuesday that his political revolution will bring together people of all races.

“We will all come together to say loudly and clearly that the government of our great nation belongs to all of us, not just a few wealthy campaign contributors,” he said.

Wednesday morning, Sanders had breakfast in New York with Al Sharpton, a civil rights activist who hosts an MSNBC show and is president of the National Action Network, at the Harlem restaurant Sylvia’s. Sharpton ate with Barack Obama there during his presidential campaign in 2007.

Sanders’ spokesman Michael Briggs said Sharpton asked for the meeting.

Sanctions may not deter North Korea’s ambitions Complex relationship with China affects regime’s every move Oren Dorell USA TODAY

The Senate unanimously approved Wednesday new sanctions against North Korea to make it harder for the reclusive nation to access funds to develop longrange missiles and nuclear warheads. The House passed a similar measure last month.

Yet any sanctions Congress imposes are unlikely to deter North Korea, which fired a long-range rocket on Sunday and conducted a nuclear test last month in violation of U.N. resolutions. The reason sanctions are ineffective: China.

CHINA IS THE FINANCIER

Most banks that North Korea uses to finance trade, imports and weapons programs work through China, said Richard Fisher, vice president of the International As-

sessment and Strategy Center.

“The financial wherewithal for North Korea to sustain itself runs through China,” Fisher said.

“Without China participating, financial sanctions will not have a decisive effect.”

nuclear and missile programs, the place that they like to shop is China,” Thomas Countryman, assistant secretary of State for international security and nonproliferation, said in January.

China has a high-technology economy and produces a number of advanced goods that would benefit such programs, Countryman said. China should “exercise the same degree of vigilance and control on strategic trade with Iran and North Korea as other countries do,” he said.

CHINESE COMPANIES ARE FRONTS FOR NORTH KOREA

Unlike U.S. sanctions on Iran, which were partially lifted recently in return for limits to that country’s nuclear program, the proposed sanctions on North Korea do not target companies of third countries that do business in North Korea.

“That’s partly because it’s more difficult to discover those (companies),” said George Lopez, a professor at the University of Notre Dame’s Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies.

Lopez said foreign companies often think they’re doing business with legitimate Chinese companies, only to find they were actually fronts for North Korea.

Sanctions against Chinese companies that do business with North Korea is too risky for U.S.

A photo released by the newspaper of the North Korean Workers Party, shows leader Kim Jong Un saluting servicemen. businesses that seek to penetrate the mammoth Chinese economy, he said.

“For the benefit of targeting a few companies, most people in the State Department would say it’s not worth it,” Lopez said.

CHINA ABETS NORTH KOREA

China is complicit in much of what North Korea does, Fisher said.

Chinese President Xi Jinping allowed a Chinese company in 2011 to provide North Korea with 16-wheel trucks, which are now used to transport inter-continental ballistic missiles that the U.S. Defense Department says could carry a nuclear payload as far as Seattle.

“When North Korea and Iran seek to purchase high technology, materials or equipment for their

CHINA PROPS UP NORTH KOREA’S LEADERSHIP

China wants the North Korean leadership to survive, whatever it takes.

China uses North Korea to influence the democratic government of South Korea and to pressure Japan, Fisher said.

“It views the regime in Pyongyang as a brother Communist system that must survive at all costs in order to prove to the world that China is not the last Communist regime on the planet,” Fisher said.

South Carolina’s Clyburn FEDS SUE FERGUSON TO weighs his choice carefully FORCE POLICE REFORM Veteran lawmaker recalls political history while deciding how to make history

WASHINGTON Rep. Jim Clyburn, the most influential Democratic officeholder in South Carolina, says he’ll “huddle” with his family to decide this weekend whether to make an endorsement in the presidential race — a move that could help shape the race in a state Hillary Clinton’s campaign views as a crucial firewall.

In an interview Wednesday on Capital Download, Clyburn said his wife and daughter had been telling him that the state’s Democrats “want to hear from me.”

One of his younger brothers urged

him, “You’ve got to take a stand.”

Clinton, reeling from a crushing defeat by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday, is counting on overwhelming support from African-American voters to score a decisive victory in the South Carolina primary on Feb. 27, the next contest on the Democratic calendar after the Nevada caucuses Feb. 20.

Clyburn had planned to remain neutral, as he did in the 2008 contest between Clinton and then-Illinois senator Barack Obama. His decision to weigh in could make a significant difference in the Palmetto State.

“I’ve heard that,” he said.

He refused to say whether he was more likely to support Clinton or Sanders, and he described his own family as divided. His daughter is “very much for Hillary,” he said, and his grandson is for Sanders, telling him, “It’s generational.” Of himself, he said, “My heart and head are in different places right now, but we’ll

see.”

Even so, Clyburn, 75, discussed the importance of the deep roots that Clinton and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, have with the black community.

“I think it matters,” he told USA TODAY’s weekly video newsmaker series. “I think when people have certain experiences, it helps to shape them. If you’re the governor of a Southern state, as Bill Clinton was, and she of course was first lady, you will get certain experiences interacting with Southerners and people of color that you probably won’t get coming up in politics as Bernie Sanders.”

Sanders has emphasized that he was active in the civil rights movement in the 1960s.

“Well, she was, too,” Clyburn responded. “She went to Mississippi. She worked for the Children’s Defense Fund.”

Clyburn, at 12 terms the dean of the South Carolina congressional delegation, dismissed a confrontation between him and Bill Clinton after Hillary Clinton lost the 2008 South Carolina primary to Obama. The former president called him just past 2 a.m. on primary night to warn him, “If you bastards want a fight, you damn well will get one.”

There are no hard feelings, Clyburn says. “It was a phone call from a husband who was supporting his wife in a political campaign,” he says.

Clyburn, the assistant Democratic leader is the third-ranking Democrat in the House, was asked about the potential impact Sanders’ nomination could have on the party’s candidates in competitive congressional districts.

“I was a delegate to the ’72 convention,” Clyburn replied, the year that South Dakota Sen. George McGovern was nominated. “I’ll never forget coming off that floor at 2:30, 3 o’clock in the morning, I was walking with Gov. (John) West. And we sat on the floor together that night listening to McGovern’s speech. And when we walked off the floor, he was so moved by that speech — not realizing that he was one of the few people who heard it that time of morning. And he said to me, ‘I think we’ve got a big winner here.’ ... And it turned out McGovern carried one state. ...

Sanders has done well in the opening states because “he’s tapped into some emotions,” Clyburn said.

Clinton has struggled, he acknowledged. “You got to connect.

And she herself says she’s failed to connect on many fronts.”

City was seeking revision of deal, citing the costs to overhaul how police, court system work

“The City Council rejected the consent decree approved by their own negotiators.”

Attorney General Loretta Lynch

Aamer Madhani and Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The Justice Department is suing the city of Ferguson, Mo., in an attempt to forcibly overhaul the city’s troubled police and court operations, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Wednesday.

The decision comes hours after city leaders sought to revise a long-negotiated settlement, citing prohibitive costs of executing such a deal.

“There is no cost for constitutional policing,” Lynch said.

“Painstaking negotiations lasted more than 26 weeks as we sought to remedy literally years of systematic deficiencies,” she said of the government’s action, which followed a public announcement last month of a tentative agreement that the attorney general described as “both fair and costeffective. ... Last night, the City Council rejected the consent decree approved by their own negotiators; their decision leaves us no further choice.”

Lynch said the residents of Ferguson have been waiting “decades for justice,” having endured civil rights breaches that established a pattern and practice of racially biased policing.

Earlier Wednesday, Ferguson Mayor James Knowles signaled that the city was ready to take on the Justice Department in federal court. He defended Ferguson’s unanimous decision to revise the agreement by removing language from the agreement, which local leaders asserted, mandated big raises for police officers.

Local leaders also sought to free the city from its obligations under the agreement should Ferguson seek to shut-

ter the police department and enlist another agency to provide public safety services.

“The ball is in their court,” Knowles said at a hastily called news conference in Ferguson.

The threat became reality within hours of the mayor’s appearance when the Justice lawsuit was filed in a Missouri federal court, alleging local law enforcement conduct routinely violated the Constitution.

When Ferguson and the Justice Department reached a tentative deal last month, Knowles said the city did not then have a clear understanding of the cost of implementing it.

The push to amend the agreement comes after Knowles and council members raised concerns it could cost nearly $10 million over the next three years to implement.

The city of 21,000 has a budget of about $14 million and is facing about $2.8 million in debt after the August 2014 police shooting death of an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, sparked weeks of protests. Much of the debt accrued from police overtime during the unrest and lost tax revenue from businesses destroyed or badly damaged in rioting.

The city of Ferguson, Mo., faces about $2.8 million in debt, largely for police overtime to quell unrest after the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown.

All eyes look to S.C. to narrow the Republican field v CONTINUED FROM 1B

said Trump was a “gifted politician” but would “be a disaster as our nominee.”

Republicans in South Carolina vote Feb. 20.

“People who were with Jeb at the start of the primary process are still with him, and many are energized that he’s still in the mix,” said Henry Barbour, a top Republican strategist and Mississippi lobbyist who is unaligned in the primary. “Now, he has to deliver.”

Bush’s allies say he has a strong network in the state, which backed his brother George W. Bush in 2000.

A radio ad featuring the former president began hitting the airwaves Wednesday, and Jeb Bush is relying heavily on Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., to campaign on his behalf in the Palmetto State.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who finished fifth in New Hampshire after a rocky debate performance, also hopes to find friendlier territory in South Carolina.

He has been endorsed by the

state’s other senator, Republican Tim Scott, along with Rep. Trey Gowdy, a Republican popular with Tea Party voters. In addition, Rubio’s campaign manager Terry Sullivan is a veteran South Carolina strategist.

A key question: Do other candidates seeking to emerge as the establishment alternative to Trump have the money to compete in South Carolina, a state with more than three times the population of New Hampshire?

Rubio and Bush started the year with roughly $10.4 million

and $7.5 million in available cash, respectively, to the $2.5 million available in the campaign account of Ohio Gov. John Kasich, the second-place finisher in New Hampshire.

A pro-Bush super PAC, Right to Rise, opened the year with the biggest cash reserves in the Republican field: nearly $59 million.

Right to Rise, already had spent $10.3 million on ads in the state as of Tuesday, data compiled

by NBC and SMG Delta show.

Rubio’s campaign and aligned outside groups were close behind

at $9.4 million.

Asked about fundraising following Tuesday’s strong showing in New Hampshire, Kasich spokesman Scott Millburn said, “We had a very, very, very good night” but did not disclose any amounts.

Millburn said Bush “better hope he has the organization in South Carolina that can bail him out.”

The state, he said, is “going to be a Bush vs. Rubio bloodbath,” and Kasich just needs “to exceed expectations.”

Special for USA TODAY

In a lab 50 miles north of Beijing, technicians propagate potato plants by slicing the leaves off the tiny sprouts and dropping the cuttings into jars of growth jelly. Within a few weeks each snippet should send up a shoot of its own.

“It’s the fastest way to produce lots of healthy potato seeds,” said Li Huaming, a project manager at Xisen Potato Group, China’s largest potato developer.

And producing lots of potato seeds is critical: This country of noodle and rice lovers for thousands of years has set a goal to make the humble spud a national staple by 2020.

The Communist-led government says such a jarring culinary change is necessary to prevent land and water shortages from worsening, and to make sure the country can feed itself as the population of 1.3 billion grows.

Pound for pound, the potato requires 30% less water than traditional staples of rice, wheat and corn. And it provides more calories and vitamins per acre.

Land dedicated to potato crops is being doubled, as the government encourages people to con-

sume the tuber in large amounts.

“Hunger breeds discontentment. … The development of the potato industry and the consumption of potatoes as a staple food is an important step in China’s agricultural development,” Yu Xinrong, vice minister of agriculture, said last summer.

Increasing the production of potatoes may be the easy task.

The real challenge will be getting the Chinese to eat them.

China already is the world’s largest potato producer, but about half of the 95 million tons it grows every year is exported or fed to livestock. By contrast, Americans eat 80% of what is grown domestically.

Chinese shun potatoes, aside from French fries, which are popular in Western fast food restaurants. Potatoes didn’t arrive here until Dutch traders brought them

in the mid-1600s, and they quickly became associated with poverty and food shortages, something many Chinese experienced before the economy took off after economic reforms during the 1980s. Back then, eating rice or noodles instead of potatoes was considered a luxury.

“I don’t care if I never eat another potato in my life,” said Cai Chunrong, 46, a vegetable vendor from China’s central Hubei province. “I ate too many as a kid,” she added.

Another factor working against the spud: It’s thought of as a vegetable more than as a staple, so it is chopped and stir-fried in cooking, much like cabbage, and served with rice. That combination doesn’t win fans, so it’s mostly found in institutional canteens, where workers and students need to fill up for little money.

“The potato isn’t really used in high-end cooking. It’s considered peasant food,” said Gu Weijian, a chef at one of Beijing’s better restaurants.

By contrast, rice and noodles are cherished in Chinese culture.

Rice is a symbol of civilization, and noodles stand for longevity.

So how will the government get people to eat potatoes again?

The answer seems to be a combination of propaganda, price incentives and potato versions of food already used as staples.

Several companies are adding potato powder to bread. After several years of trials, Xisen Potato Group and another firm, Haileda, have created hybrid steamed buns from potato powder and wheat flour.

Haileda produced more than 12,000 buns before finding the perfect mixture. “They kept splitting or falling apart,” said Chen Baohua, the company’s production director, according to the Beijing Times.

Other companies are going a different route, making Western dishes with butter and cheese to popularize the spud.

Ma Dafei, a Beijing entrepreneur, hopes to roll out a chain of eateries this year that serve baked and mashed potatoes, as well as potato risotto. He expects the state-run media to cover his new business and drum up publicity.

“After all, we want the same thing,” he said. “For people to eat more potatoes.”

While driving the students from North Plainfield, N.J., to the school in Bridgewater, the bus driver suffered an apparent medical emergency and became unresponsive. The students started shouting that he had missed the turnoff to the school.

The bus continued on Route 22, swerving until it finally slowed at a red light 2 miles past the campus.

That’s when Gavin Costello, 15, and Angelo Medina, 18, went into action. The North Plainfield residents who attend the school full time approached the bus driver, took his keys and opened the door to let the students out.

“When he missed the exit, I jumped up front and started giving him directions,” said Gavin, a freshman in the welding program. “He wouldn’t look up.

Global weakness, market sell-off could threaten plans to raise interest rates gradually Paul Davidson @PDavidsonusat USA TODAY

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen told Congress on Wednesday that global economic troubles and the recent sell-off in stocks could rattle the U.S. economy, raising the prospect of a delay in interest rate hikes.

“There’s quite a bit of additional data we will want to look at” before the Fed’s March meeting.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen

She added, “Foreign economic developments, in particular, pose risks to U.S. economic growth.”

She singled out the economic slowdown in China.

At the end of the hearing, Rep. John Delaney, D-Md., noted the Fed’s plans for gradual rate increases hinged on its outlook for moderate growth. He asked if that view of the economy has recently been downgraded.

“The answer is maybe, but the jury is out,” Yellen said. She added that increased borrowing costs for commercial real estate and other loans are among the factors the Fed will evaluate. “There’s quite a bit of additional data we will want to look at” before the Fed’s March meeting.

In response to lawmakers’ questions, Yellen said the Fed has not seen a slackening in the global economy that’s dramatic enough to warrant the sharp market sell-off. Still, she said, “We are watching very carefully what’s happening in global financial markets.”

Banks around globe using negative rates to try to spur growth Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Some of the world’s major central banks are adopting negative interest rates, raising questions about whether the Federal Reserve could follow.

The short answer: It’s highly unlikely, though not out of the question if the U.S. economy dramatically turned down.

Last month, the Bank of Japan became the latest central bank to go negative. Its key rate is now -0.1%, meaning that’s what it’s charging financial institutions to hold money at the Japanese central bank.

The BOJ joined central banks in Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark, as well as the European Central Bank, in imposing a negative rate. The nations’ monetary policymakers are using the tool to combat the growing risk of deflation and stagnant economic growth.

The goals of negative rates are largely similar to those of very low, or near zero, positive rates. They’re designed to spur banks to lend more to consumers and businesses by reducing the financial benefits — or, in the case of negative rates, increasing the costs — they derive from parking their money at the central bank. Also, if banks pass lower interest rates to borrowers, that should lead to higher demand for loans, Oxford Economics says.

A negative rate also weakens a country’s currency, bolstering its exports by making them cheaper for overseas buyers.

That lifts industrial output and the domestic economy. And it makes imports more expensive

for their consumers, nudging up inflation.

A below-zero rate encourages the bank and its customers — AP assuming deKocherlaposit rates are kota also cut — to shift money to higher-yielding assets such as stocks, goosing the market and making consumers feel wealthier. That can lead to higher spending.

Yet the negative-rate trend raises a pointed question: Why would anyone pay a central bank to hold its money?

The simple answer: Banks with billions of dollars in deposits can’t easily convert them to physical cash. It would have to be stored in warehouses or vaults, incurring storage and security costs, economist Kris Dawsey of Goldman Sachs says.

Another hurdle is that banks must keep a certain amount of money at their country’s central bank to clear checks and settle other payments. And so “banks have not viewed switching to cash as a viable strategy to avoid negative” rates, Oxford Economics says.

In the U.S., former Minnesota Fed chief Narayana Kocherlakota said last year he backed a drop in the Fed’s near-zero rate to negative terrain but stepped down at the end of 2015.

A big obstacle: Negative rates could cause investors to withdraw cash from money market funds, which in the U.S. help ensure companies and the public sector have enough liquidity.

“Foreign economic developments ... pose risks to U.S. economic growth,” Fed Chair Janet Yellen told Congress.

business confidence, and growth.

Yellen also pointed to marketbased inflation measures — such as yields on certain Treasury notes — that have fallen to “historically low levels.” The Fed is hesitant to raise interest rates further without clear signs that feeble inflation is picking up. Yellen noted inflation has been pushed down largely by low oil prices and the robust dollar, which makes imports cheaper for U.S. consumers. She said those effects eventually should ease.

At the same time, Yellen said solid job growth and faster wage gains should continue to support the economy. The economy, she noted, added 2.7 million jobs in 2015 and the unemployment rate fell nearly a percentage point the past year to 4.9%.

Yellen said she doesn’t believe the recent growth slowdown augurs a rate cut. “I do not expect (the Fed’s policymaking committee) is going to be in a situation where it is necessary to cut rates.”

Still, her assessment indicates Fed policymakers are keenly aware of the potential impact recent global economic and market turbulence could have on the economy.

Although the Fed chief didn’t provide a clear signal on the Fed’s plans for March, “There is enough focus on downside risks now to make a tightening move again that soon seem quite unlikely,” Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist of High Frequency Economics, wrote to clients.

Fed policymakers face a quandary as they weigh whether to raise rates next month. Markets have sold off this year on overseas economic troubles, plunging oil prices and the prospect of future Fed hikes.

Stock analysts were looking to Yellen to calm markets by saying the Fed is concerned about the turbulence and signaling a March rate hike is now a long shot. She didn’t go quite that far.

Twitter user growth grinds to a halt in Q4 Lackluster numbers show Dorsey has yet to pull company out of slump Jessica Guynn @jguynn USA TODAY

Twitter fourthquarter performance in 140 characters or less? Not great.

Shares fell 3% in after-hours trading Wednesday as quarterly results showed again just how mightily the social media service is struggling to attract new users.

In the fourth quarter, user growth essentially ground to a halt. Twitter reported it had 320 million users in the December quarter, flat with the previous quarter and up 9% year-overyear. Analysts expected Twitter to report 325 million users, up 1.5% from the third quarter.

Excluding so-called “fast folSAN FRANCISCO

lowers” who access the service via text message, Twitter had 305 million monthly active users in the quarter, up 6% year over year and a decline from 307 million in the previous quarter.

In a letter, Twitter sought to reassure shareholders. “As of the end of January, we have already seen total (monthly active users), excluding SMS Fast Followers, return to Q3 levels,” the company wrote.

Twitter’s chief financial officer Anthony Noto told analysts during a conference call the company has been welcoming back “resurrected” as well as new users. And co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey pledged to make significant changes to improve the Twitter service from increasing streaming video to getting rid of confusing rules that drive away users.

Yet the lackluster numbers showed investors that Twitter’s recent attempts under Dorsey have not yet pulled the service

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

Twitter is popular with media outlets, politicians and celebrities, but many people do not understand how or why they should use the service.

out of a lengthy growth slump.

The timing isn’t good for the 9year-old company, which never has been able to match the mass market appeal of Facebook, which, at 1.59 billion users, is five times the size of Twitter.

Twitter is popular with media outlets, politicians and celebrities, but many people do not understand how or why they should use the service. Even Instagram, the photo-sharing app owned by Facebook, has eclipsed Twitter with 400 million users and a faster growth rate.

Dorsey, who is pulling double duty as CEO of Twitter and digital payments company Square, has pledged to reignite growth at Twitter but says change won’t happen overnight.

Twitter’s user growth is a key metric for investors because it suggests whether Twitter will be able to more effectively compete for digital advertising dollars against Facebook.

Facebook’s advertising business dwarfs Twitter. Twitter is expected to capture a 9% share of global social network ad spending in 2016, according to research firm eMarketer. Facebook is forecast to have 65.1%.

In the fourth quarter, Twitter generated $710 million in revenue, an increase of 48% year over year, in line with estimates. Twitter earned 13 cents a share, excluding certain expenses. Analysts expected 12 cents a share.

Including those expenses, Twitter lost 16 cents a share. Analysts had forecast a loss of 17 cents a share.

Twitter’s outlook was lower than Wall Street forecast. The company estimated revenue of $595 million to $610 million in the current quarter. Wall Street expected $628 million.

Twitter shares have plummeted over the last year, losing 67% of their value, though they closed up 4% to $14.98 in regular trading Wednesday.

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

Will the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index succumb to the Wall Street bear that’s stalking it?

A look at historical bear tracks offers some clues.

The large-company stock index is down 13% from its record closing high from May 2015, or nearly nine months ago. The good news is the average length of time the S&P 500 has taken to succumb to the full 20% drop into bear market territory is also nine months, according to Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist at S&P Global Market Intelligence.

But there’s some not-so-good news, too, Stovall adds: “Seven of the 12 bear markets since World War II required an average of more than 20 months before fall-

ing 20%.” So a bear can’t be ruled out. Indeed, it might take proof that the U.S. economy is not falling into recession before investors step in and buy stocks with enough conviction to turn the market back up, Stovall says.

For chart-watchers wondering when and where the floor under the market will either hold or give way, keep a close eye on the 1,820 area, Stovall advises. More specifically, the intraday low of 1,812 the S&P 5005-day sank to on Jan. 20. avg.: -4.21 “A breach 6-month of theseavg.: levels would -20.10 be substantially bearish developLargest holding: AAPL ments and would open the FB door Most bought: decline toward for an accelerating Most sold: AAPL lower big-picture support in the area of 1,625-1,700,” Stovall says.

The S&P 500 closed Wednesday at 1,852, so a fall to the low end of Stovall’s danger range equates to a further drop of 14%.

Hopefully the market holds that key line in the sand.

Cable worries could zap some of the magic Q: Is Disney stock still magical?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Disney was a stock of dreams until late 2015. Lately, it has been running into difficulties, but investors still think the magic is there.

Shares of Disney are down more than 15% this year, underperforming the Standard & Poor’s 500’s 9% decline.

Shares of the entertainment giant took a nearly 4% hit Wednesday to close around $89 a share despite reporting a better-than-expected quarterly adjusted profit of $1.63 a share. The profit topped forecasts by 12% and was up 28% from the same period last year, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. The company got a financial windfall from the latest Star Wars movie and continues to have success raising prices at theme parks.

But investors are fearful about the health of the cable industry, which is one of the biggest distributors of Disney’s ESPN sports content. There’s a fear cord cutters will disrupt this very important part of the business. Disney’s cable business has been its largest, accounting for about a third of its total revenue. Disney told investors changes in the cable TV business model are happening slower than some think. The company is developing relationships with online distribution companies.

Analysts see the sell-off as an opportunity, saying shares should be worth $110.32 a share in 18 months

Burger King makes whopper of a change to menu: hot dogs Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

Burger King is about to become the biggest restaurant seller of hot dogs in the country.

The fast food chain is broadening its beef kingdom to include two different kinds of grilled hot dogs permanently hitting the menu at its roughly 7,100 U.S. locations later this month.

The launch has Burger King poised to steal a sizable bite of a market dominated by convenience stores, wholesale clubs

BURGER KING

Burger King will roll out two kinds of hot dogs to its menu starting on Feb. 23, the first time the chain has offered franks.

and retailers such as Home Depot.

With the addition of a classic grilled dog and a chili cheese dog, Burger King is expanding its menu to include one of America’s favorite processed meats at a time when the fast food industry has been scrambling to find ways to appeal to more health-conscious customers with additions such as kale salad and sides of fruit.

After testing the franks in five markets last year, Burger King North America President Alex Macedo says there’s no doubt there’s an appetite for higherquality dogs at a lower price

point. “It was the biggest market test that we ever did,” he says.

“We haven’t been as excited about a product announced like this in a long, long time.”

Macedo compares the launch to that of Burger King’s most well-known burger, the Whopper.

Burger King partnered with Oscar Mayer to create a proprietary 100% beef hot dog, which Macedo says will stand apart from most options consumers have because it is “flame grilled” in the restaurant instead of boiled or put on a “roller,” the cooking method often seen in convenience stores. The classic hot dog

will sell for $1.99 and the chili cheese dog for $2.29.

Burger King joins smaller fast food companies including Dairy Queen and Sonic as one of the few major restaurant chains to offer hot dogs, an item typically relegated to summer barbecues and Fourth of July celebrations — and still far overshadowed by hamburgers regardless.

About 14% of all restaurant visits include a hamburger order, vs. about 1.5% that include a hot dog order, says Warren Solochek, president of the food service practice at market research firm The NPD Group.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY? GOOD DAY ‘HARRY POTTER’ FANS J.K. Rowling is giving her fans a magical gift.

The script for the author’s upcoming play ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,’ which AFP/GETTY IMAGES picks up the story of the boy wizard 19 years after the final book in the series, will be published as a print and e-book

by Scholastic in July. The scriptbook will coincide with the play’s world premiere on London’s West End this summer. A Definitive Collector’s Edition will be published with the final script at a later date.

BROADWAY BOUND Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning classic ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ is headed for the Great White Way. A stage adaptation of the classroom-favorite book is being readied for the 2017-18 Broadway season, with Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin writing and Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher directing.

Sorkin, who is best known for his work in film and television, including ‘The Social Network’ and ‘The West Wing,’ was last represented on Broadway by 2007’s ‘The Farnsworth Invention.’

STYLE STAR Zoolander who?

Jennifer Aniston stole the red carpet at the premiere for ‘Zoolander 2’ alongside hubby Justin Theroux (who co-wrote the sequel and stars as the Evil DJ).

Aniston glowed in a sleek maroon Galvan dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, a Judith Lieber clutch and Sidney Garber jewelry.

Matched with a casual pony for the occasion, Aniston outshone everyone else.

MAKING WAVES Gwen Stefani is driving her fans bananas. It appears that even after making her foray into fashion, cosmetics and ‘Voice’ WIREIMAGE coaching, the singer has found time to hit the studio. The 46-year-old former No Doubt frontwoman announced her first solo album in nearly a decade on Twitter, sharing a photo of a handwritten track list for it. She captioned the photo “This Is What the Truth Feels Like,” which might be a reference to the album’s title, although she has yet to announce a formal release date. Stefani’s last LP, ‘Sweet Escape,’ was all the way back in 2006.

For 15 years, this pretty-boy adventure ‘just wouldn’t go away’ Patrick Ryan USA TODAY

NEW YORK Zoolander 2 is so hot right now, but the high-fashion satire wasn’t always en vogue.

Its predecessor was greeted with a shrug when it opened just two weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, earning OK reviews (64% positive on aggregate site RottenTomatoes.com) and modest box office returns ($45 million against a $28 million budget).

Since then, the oddball comedy has inspired a passionate following on home video, primarily consisting of Millennials who regurgitate its quotable dialogue (“Mer-man!”) and make GIFs of its wackiest gags (orange mocha frappucinos, anyone?).

In the 15 years it has taken for the sequel to hit the big screen (in theaters Friday), Ben Stiller can’t recall a specific moment when he realized Zoolander was a phenomenon. Instead, he gradually became aware after meeting fans and seeing hashtags #BlueSteel and #Magnum on social media (referring to signature poses of his vapid character, Derek Zoolander, a male model turned unwitting assassin).

Even now, “people (ask for) a picture and say, ‘Hey, can you do Blue Steel?’ or ‘Hey, can you do Magnum?’ ” Stiller says with a laugh. “It’s so silly, but it is something I’ve lived with over the years.”

Stiller pondered the prospect of a sequel for more than a decade: hatching a story idea with Nicholas Stoller in 2005 only to revive the project five years later with John Hamburg and Justin Theroux (returning in Zoolander 2 as the dreadlocked Evil DJ). “It just wouldn’t go away,” says Stiller, who also directed the film and wrangled original co-stars Will Ferrell, back as the villainous designer Mugatu, and Owen Wilson, playing Derek’s one-time rival Hansel.

For Wilson, pleasing fans was key. “You want to entertain and satisfy them,” he says. “I was always excited to play Hansel again, because of the characters I’ve played, that was one that people would come up to me about and

quote lines, like, ‘Who are you tryin’ to get crazy with, ese?

Don’t you know I’m loco?’ ” While Zoolander 2 incorporates some familiar jokes — there’s a new spin on orange mocha frappucinos, and a remix of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Relax — Stiller “didn’t want to just re-create things from the first movie. I wanted to have elements people remembered but also try to create new things.”

Among those new to the Zoolander universe: Kristen Wiig is unrecognizable as a heavily Botoxed beauty expert, and Penélope Cruz stars as a femme fatale who enlists the help of Derek and Hansel to uncover why pop singers such as Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato and Usher are being offed.

Other all-star cameos include Susan Sarandon, Kiefer Sutherland, Katy Perry, Willie Nelson and Ariana Grande.

One celebrity you won’t see again is Donald Trump, who appeared in the first Zoolander long before he became a presidential hopeful.

“See what happens when you agree to do a cameo in Zoolander?” Wilson smiles. “The next thing you know, Justin Bieber is going to be running for president with Ariana Grande as his running mate. In the past, it was Harvard and Yale that were feeders, but who knows? Next it could be Zoolander.”

Stiller quips: “It’s definitely a qualification for president: being really, ridiculously good-looking.”

‘Deadpool’ kills with its madcap humor But this is not your kids’ superhero film Most superhero films deserve an anthem, something to reflect the straightforward fighting of the good fight. And thus the completely bonkers, lovably obnoxious Deadpool boasts Juice Newton’s Angel of the Morning.

Somehow, AM radio jams fit nicely into the insanity barely contained in director Tim Miller’s comic-book ode to ultraviolence, four-letter words and weird love.

Ryan Reynolds, too, benefits from finally finding a role that matches his wit and his abs — even if his handsome mug is hidden under a mask most of the time — though Deadpool (eegE stars out of four; rated R; in theaters nationwide Friday) sometimes can’t keep up with its own madcap energy.

Plot gets shot in the head and thrown in the trunk in favor of Looney Tunes-esque shenanigans, not to say that’s a bad thing. A spectacular opening action scene introduces Deadpool, aka Wade Wilson, the “Merc with a Mouth” who takes out baddies with ease — and extreme prejudice — and offers play-by-play commentary.

MOVIE REVIEW BRIAN TRUITT

20TH CENTURY FOX

The title masked mercenary (Ryan Reynolds) reacts to threats from Colossus (voiced by Stefan Kapicic) in Deadpool.

Amid the flying bodies and vehicles, Deadpool narrates his story of how he fell in love with an exotic dancer (Morena Baccarin) just as messed up as he is, was diagnosed with cancer and underwent a ghastly procedure that gave him superhuman abilities and the very definition of a “pizza face.”

On the road to saving his fair Vanessa, spending bro time with his barkeeper confidant, Weasel (T.J. Miller), and taking revenge on the villainous Ajax (Ed Skrein), Deadpool comes to crazy life with Reynolds’ on-point com-

ic timing and knack for saying the most offensive stuff imaginable in a palatable way.

In a movie so over the top that it obliterates said top, Deadpool’s outsize personality tends to overshadow the rest of the characters.

Ajax especially comes off as twodimensional, and his superstrong henchwoman, Angel Dust (Gina Carano), just punches stuff (though she does it well). Deadpool takes place in the X-Men movie universe, so the main antihero gets to spend hilarious screen time with a couple of folks

from the comics: the earnest, steel-bodied Russian named Colossus (a CGI juggernaut played via motion capture by Stefan Kapicic) and angsty youngster Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), who deserves superlatives for best name and most in need of a spinoff.

There is juvenile humor aplenty, though much better in Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick’s script are intelligent riffs on other XMen movies, meta commentary on Reynolds’ failures in the superhero movie space (see: Green Lantern) and whip-smart pop-culture references. (In one scene, Deadpool compares cancer to Yakov Smirnoff opening for the Spin Doctors at the Iowa State Fair.)

The problem of having so much wanton action and National Lampoon-style comedy is that it’s noticeable when it’s gone; the middle act slows considerably.

And although a masked comicbook character who’s funny and watchable appeals to children, this isn’t for kids.

For grown-ups, however, Deadpool avoids enough pitfalls to both embrace and flambé the superhero genre while also finding time for romance, doling out equal handfuls of bullets, barbs and warm fuzzies.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Luck eluding Kansas football Long overdue for some good fortune, Kansas University’s football program just can’t catch a break.

After an 0-12 record in his first season, KU head coach David Beaty needed to score a significant victory of some sort. Landing a hometown prospect courted by multiple college football powerhouses would have done the job, but it didn’t happen. Nothing that has happened on that front since has made it any easier to weather.

Oklahoma defensiveline coach Diron Reynolds locked up Lawrence High four-star prospect Amani Bledsoe, and less than a week after Bledsoe signed, Reynolds bolted for Stanford.

Kansas had hoped it could convince Bledsoe to play defensive end for assistant coach Calvin Thibodeaux, a hard-working, knowledgeable instructor.

Prediction: Bledsoe very well could play for Thibodeaux, after all. Think about it: On the one-year anniversary of losing D-line coach Jerry Montgomery to the Green Bay Packers, Sooners coach Bob Stoops lost Reynolds to Stanford.

Stoops hates staff turnover.

He needs to stop that door in the D-line coach’s office from spinning.

Every coach has a dream job, a dream boss, a dream address. Thibodeaux played for Stoops and earned All-Big 12 honors in 2005.

Thibodeaux, who came to Kansas from Tulsa, is a proven recruiter, teacher, worker.

Beaty’s defensive staff already was raided when popular linebackers coach Kevin Kane, a former KU player, left for a promotion to become Northern Illinois’ defensive coordinator.

For reasons beyond the makeup of the Kansas coaching staff, the chances of Kansas ending its losing streak of 38 consecutive games played outside of Lawrence any time soon look more remote than ever.

Conference realignment hurt Kansas on multiple fronts. It made the schedule tougher and indirectly toughened the recruiting road. When the Big 12 had 12 teams, Kansas played five teams from the North, three from the more stacked South. Now it’s all nine fellow conference members every year, and three, instead of four, nonconference games.

The Texas ties of Beaty and cornerbacks coach/codefensive coordinator Kenny Perry will pay off, but probably not as richly as if realignment never had happened. The fear that Texas A&M’s departure to the SEC would open up Texas for other schools in recruiting has been realized. Per Rivals.com rankings, 21 of the top 52 recruits from the Texas Class of 2016 went to SEC schools, 23 to Big 12 schools. The trickle-down impact on Kansas won’t be a positive one.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S LANDEN LUCAS PULLS AWAY AN OFFENSIVE REBOUND from West Virginia’s Elijah Macon, left, and Tarik Phillip during the Jayhawks’ 75-65 victory Tuesday night in Allen Fieldhouse.

Jayhawks, Sooners ready for rematch

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Back on Jan. 4, the No. 1 team in the Associated Press basketball poll (Kansas University) outlasted the No. 1 team in USA Today’s coaches poll (Oklahoma), 109-106, in three overtimes in Allen Fieldhouse.

On Saturday, the sequel in Norman will match the nowNo. 3-ranked Sooners (20-3, 8-3) against the No. 6-rated Jayhawks (19-4, 8-3) at 1:30 p.m. in Noble Center.

“It’s going to be awesome.

It’s going to be fun,” KU junior forward Landen Lucas said after his 16-rebound, nine-point outing helped

We’ll be ready to play. We have a new hunger about us that I think we’ll

bring down there. They are a great team. It’s going to be a competitive environment, and we’re looking forward to it.”

Oklahoma edged Texas, 63-60, on Monday in Norman, as an early-week tuneup to the KU game. Texas is just a game back in the standings at 7-4.

“We watched it. That was a great game, too,” Self said of the OU-Texas contest. “I certainly hope it’s another classic (Saturday). I’d like it to be a different type game.

I’d like for it to be a grind-itout game. I think that would probably benefit our chances some instead of making it a H-O-R-S-E contest like it was

last time. We’re going to try real hard and compete, but we’re going against a team that’s as good as anyone in the country, obviously.”

The Jayhawks are coming off a win over No. 10-ranked West Virginia, in which Lucas helped hold West Virginia forward Devin Williams to 14 points off 4-of-10 shooting, with nine rebounds.

“With Landen, the biggest thing is him going after the ball,” said KU junior guard Wayne Selden Jr., who scored 11 points with two assists, two rebounds and two turnovers in 26 minutes versus the Mountaineers. “Not Please see HOOPS, page 3C

An appreciation of Landen Lucas So this is what it took for the legion of Kansas University basketball fans who had spent most of the 2015-16 season — and, really, the past couple of years — trashing every move that Landen Lucas made and begging Bill Self to keep him off the floor and out of the lineup?

Sounds about right. A 16-rebound, four-block, nine-point performance in arguably the biggest game of the season to date has a way of quickly changing minds.

Of course, even with Lucas’ monster night against West Virginia — and don’t sell him short by calling it anything else; Lucas absolutely dominated portions of Tuesday’s 10-point victory

Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

— there were still those out there who called his game garbage and said he was lucky. Those sentiments came mostly from the Twitter trolls, so a quick “consider the source” disclaimer would be a good thing to throw in here. But, still. Why do people have such a hard time giving Lucas credit when credit is deserved?

Just this morning, as I was driving to work, I heard a sports talk radio host discrediting Lucas’ big night by saying he picked up most of those 16 “easy” rebounds because the opposing team was so focused on Perry Ellis, who finished with just one rebound. Offensively, I’ll give you that. Ellis attracts so much attention from opposing defenses that it often leaves teammates wide open for easy shots, some they miss and some they make.

But I’m not buying that when it comes to rebounding. For one, Ellis is not and has never been anything close to a force on the boards, so, usually, one man doing his job of properly

boxing Ellis out is sufficient.

It’s not as if two and three bodies immediately go lean on Ellis when a shot goes up, leaving Lucas all alone to wait for the ball to fall into his hands. Not even close.

Lucas grabbed some bigtime boards Tuesday night, against a physical team that bumps and shoves every time the ball is in the air.

He was a manchild. And he nearly matched the rebounding total of WVU’s entire starting five by himself.

KU loses that game without Lucas. Maybe by a lot.

So it’s time to at least start giving the man the courtesy of not trashing him for his Please see TAIT, page 3C

COMMENTARY

Health unknown for Roy, Coach K

By Luke DeCock Raleigh (N.C.) News & Observer

Mike Krzyzewski and Roy Williams have been roaming these sidelines for so long, it has been difficult to imagine Duke or North Carolina without them. Until now.

Seeing both Duke and North Carolina win games with substitute coaches over the past two weeks was a reminder that not only will Krzyzewski and Williams depart these benches at some point, it may not necessarily be when they either may have thought or hoped.

These titans of college basketball have the kind of job security that anyone but Supreme Court justices would envy, and both will have the final say over how and when their tenure ends, but while they can control who they recruit and what defenses to play and when to call timeout, neither can exert total control over his own health.

That was all too clear Tuesday night, when Williams had what may have been the worst of his chronic spells of vertigo, leaving the bench in the second half of a dicey win over Boston College. He resurfaced for postgame handshakes and spoke briefly with the media to say he was OK, but in the immediate aftermath of his collapse there was a chilling uncertainty about his condition.

Williams, 65, has been openly dealing with vertigo for a decade, and this season, he has been limping around on bad knees that were surgically repaired over the summer and will likely need more repairs.

He also went through a cancer scare a few years ago when doctors found benign growths on his kidneys.

Meanwhile, last week’s Duke game at Georgia Tech, which the Blue Devils won with Jeff Capel in charge and Krzyzewski watching in the heart wing of Duke Hospital, felt like an eerie glimpse into a postKrzyzewski future at Duke.

Krzyzewski, who turns 69 on Saturday, has knee problems of his own, and said last Saturday he’ll need surgery this summer.

Capel, the former Oklahoma and Virginia Commonwealth coach, has been the fulcrum of Duke’s unbelievable recruiting run, and his decision to pass on the Arizona State job last spring in the wake of Duke’s national championship certainly created the impression that he was now the coach-in-waiting in Durham — although Steve Wojciechowski, now at Marquette, has for a long time been seen by insiders as the most likely successor.

The post-Williams future at North Carolina offers fewer signposts. Steve Robinson, the former head coach at Florida State and Tulsa, won praise from Williams and North Carolina players alike for shepherding the Tar Heels through a surprisingly difficult game against the Eagles, winless in ACC play, but Robinson is 58 and not part of the Dean Smith coaching tree.

We take it for granted how remarkable it is that Williams and Krzyzewski have continued to do their jobs at an elite level in such a high-pressure, high-intensity profession at an age when many of their high school and college classmates of equivalent achievement are retiring to a life of leisure.

They have seven national championships and 19 Final Fours between them, but time always wins in the end. While both are still clearly as capable as ever, the past two weeks have been a reminder that their health may have more to say about when they stop coaching than they will.

limitations and celebrating him for the things he does well.

And I’m not just talking rebounding here. I’m also not talking offense, either. He still has a long way to go in that department before he can be considered a real threat, but the best part is he knows that. And he doesn’t care.

It’s not like this is a guy unaware of who he is who chucks up 15 shots a game when he should probably be taking far less than half that number.

Perhaps the most impressive thing about Lucas’ performance on Tuesday night was how well he kept his cool when teammates and opponents around him were on the verge of melting down in a physical, highly competitive game that meant a ton to both teams.

The best example of this came after Devonté Graham was called for a foul on a play where Graham clearly did not believe he did anything wrong. With Graham jumping up and down and the pain of officiating injustice splashed across his face, Lucas calmly walked up to his teammate and said, “Hey, keep your composure.”

He said it twice for emphasis and then let Graham handle the rest.

Those are the types of things people don’t always see. Or, if they do, don’t always choose to recognize. And those are the reasons, among others, Self is so comfortable playing Lucas big minutes.

He’s a great teammate, a selfless competitor and a guy who would do anything to help KU get a victory.

It just so happens that more often than not, doing the dirty work of grabbing rebounds, setting screens and making life easier for others

is what Lucas is best equipped to contribute.

But what’s wrong with that?

Get this: In the 22 games he has played this season, Lucas has failed to grab an offensive rebound in just three of them. And the biggest reason for that was a lack of opportunity. His average minutes played in those three games (Oregon State, Baylor and at TCU) was nine.

Other than that, Lucas, who is arguably KU’s best rebounder, has snagged at least one offensive rebound in 19 other games, grabbing multiple offensive boards in nearly half of those.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been hard on Lucas — and Self’s insistence on using him — throughout his career.

So, yeah, can you go back and find things I’ve written that say Lucas can’t play? You bet.

But I’ve been over that for weeks now, largely because, for weeks, it has been crystal clear that Lucas is improving and

working his butt off to get what he can when he’s out there.

This team needs a guy like that. Heck, this team needs several guys like that.

There still will be games this season when Lucas plays 10 minutes and doesn’t do much. Self has made it clear that the rotation at the 5 is almost entirely dependent upon match-ups.

And Lucas is not able to match up with the quickest post players in college basketball.

That’s just the reality of it.

Want to know what else is reality? Lucas earns everything he gets out there, and almost none of it comes easily.

Remember that when you look back at his 9-16-4 line from Tuesday night. If you do, you’ll better recognize why he was the story of the game, why it’s accurate to say he dominated portions of the game and why it’s fair to say KU would’ve lost without him.

IOWA STATE FORWARD GEORGES NIANG (31), TEXAS TECH FORWARD ZACH SMITH (11) and Iowa State guard Deonte Burton fight for a rebound during Tech’s 85-82, overtime victory on Wednesday in Lubbock, Texas.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Texas Tech tops ISU again; A&M tumbles The Associated Press

Top 25 Men Texas Tech 85, No. 14 Iowa State 82, OT Lubbock, Texas — Zach Smith made two free throws with 18 seconds remaining in overtime to lead Texas Tech past Iowa State on Wednesday night.

It was the second straight year the Red Raiders beat the Cyclones in Lubbock. Last season, Iowa State was ranked ninth.

Deonte Burton scored a season-high 20 points, and Abdel Nader added 19 points to lead Iowa State (17-7, 6-5). Fans stormed the court after the victory.

Aaron Ross scored 20 points, and Devaugntah Williams added 19 to lead Texas Texas (14-9, 4-7).

Iowa State built leads several times — in each half — only to watch the Red Raiders claw their way back. Two free throws by Smith in separate two trips to the freethrow line tied it at 78 at the end of regulation.

The win gave the Red Raiders one more Big 12 victory than they had last season.

North Carolina fraud case on hold Chapel Hill, N.C. (ap) — North Carolina’s longrunning academic fraud scandal case seems stuck in procedural limbo.

The NCAA charged the school in May with five violations, including lack of institutional control, but there has been little movement since.

The NCAA is reviewing information reported by the university in August and could amend the Notice of Allegations (NOA) used to specify violations.

Until then, the case — an offshoot of a review launched nearly six years ago — can’t advance toward resolution.

“It’s very taxing on a lot of people for a variety of reasons,” athletic director Bubba Cunningham said in an interview with The Associated Press.

“It’s been used against us in recruiting. It has been damaging to the reputation of the university.

“But the Syracuse case was eight years. And we’re talking about a case that was closed in 2012, then reopened in 2014, and we’re talking about

issues that occurred from the 1990s through 2011.

It’s a unique case.”

It’s not unusual for the process to linger for years, and some schools don’t want to wait before facing anticipated penalties.

Syracuse’s case began in 2007 and crawled forward until the school imposed a postseason ban for men’s basketball last February. The NCAA added more penalties a month later — including a suspension for Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim — for academic, drug and gift violations in multiple sports.

At Mississippi, officials last month confirmed an NOA against the school.

That case began in 2012 and led to a self-imposed postseason ban for women’s basketball that year.

It now includes football and track and field.

And last week, Louisville imposed a postseason ban for Hall of Famer Rick Pitino’s men’s basketball program amid an investigation into allegations an ex-staffer hired

“

It’s very taxing on a lot of people for a variety of reasons. It’s been used against us in recruiting. It has been damaging to the reputation of the university.”

— North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham an escort and other dancers to strip and have sex with players and recruits from 2010-14. The school notified the NCAA in August and hasn’t received an NOA. While a self-imposed penalty might mitigate later punishment, cases continue until the NCAA considers them closed.

“People make too much of this idea that somehow there’s this strategy that you go ahead and (selfimpose penalties) and then the NCAA will leave you alone,” said Gene A. Marsh, a Birmingham, Ala.-based attorney who spent nine years on the NCAA’s infractions committee and was a former chairman. “That’s just not the way it works. ... That’s nonsense.”

North Carolina’s aca-

demic case grew from a 2010 football investigation, with NCAA sanctions announced in March 2012 roughly nine months after an NOA arrived. A similar timeline for this case ends this month, and school officials have hoped for resolution by spring.

That looks less likely each day.

“We’re waiting on the amended NOA and we have continued to cooperate and we have provided them all the information they have requested and we’ve had available,” Cunningham said. “And we’ll continue to do so through the full investigative process.”

NCAA spokeswoman Emily James said the governing body won’t comment on ongoing cases.

UNC’s case centers on independent study-style courses in the formerly named African and AfroAmerican Studies department. Run largely by an office administrator, they featured GPA-boosting grades and significant athlete enrollments across numerous sports, while poor oversight throughout the university allowed them to run unchecked for years.

A 2014 probe by former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein estimated more than 3,100 students were affected between 1993 and 2011, with athletes making up roughly half the enrollments in problem courses.

The NCAA’s notice treated issues surrounding the courses as improper benefits, limiting the focus to between 2002 and 2011. It charged that a women’s basketball adviser provided improper help on assignments. No coaches were cited, but the institutional-control charge mentioned counselors using the courses

to help keep at-risk athletes eligible “particularly” in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball.

Schools must respond to NOAs within 90 days, which is often when they self-impose penalties.

UNC was near its deadline before reporting additional improper assistance from the women’s basketball adviser and possible recruiting violations in men’s soccer.

That clock restarts once the NCAA amends or revises the notice. The enforcement staff would have 60 days to respond to UNC’s filing, leading to an infractions-committee hearing and a ruling weeks to months afterward.

“I wish there was some way that there could be a speedier (conclusion) but our people are trying to do the best they can do,” Hall of Fame men’s basketball coach Roy Williams said last week. “The NCAA’s probably doing things the way they do them. And it’s been very frustrating for me.”

Williams expected back at Tar Heels’ next practice The Associated Press

North Carolina Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams is expected to be at the team’s next practice and game following a bout with vertigo that sidelined him for part of Tuesday’s win at Boston College.

Athletics spokesman Steve Kirschner said Wednesday that the ninth-ranked Tar Heels had a previously sched-

uled day off and would return to practice today ahead of a weekend home game against Pittsburgh. He said Williams was back in his office Wednesday afternoon, and the coach’s regularly scheduled Friday news conference in Chapel Hill is still on as well.

“We expect him to be back at practice (Thursday) and coach on Sunday,” Kirschner said.

The 65-year-old Williams left Tuesday’s game with about 14 minutes left after collapsing momentarily in the huddle, an attack he said can be brought on by sudden head movements.

Williams was helped to the locker room and said he took medication and threw up. He returned to shake hands with Eagles coach Jim Christian afterward and attend part of UNC’s

postgame news conference.

“I really felt like it was important for me to come out so I could shake Jimmy’s hand because I felt sorry for my being a distraction,” he said afterward.

Longtime assistant Steve Robinson led the team in Williams’ absence as UNC (20-4, 9-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) rallied from a nine-point deficit for a

68-65 win that ended a two-game skid and kept UNC atop the league standings ahead of No. 7 Virginia.

Williams has had bouts of what he described as “benign positional vertigo” for years, occasionally showing up during games when Williams has had to squat down to let dizziness pass after springing up from the bench too quickly. Williams said Tuesday’s bout

occurred when he spun back toward the huddle after protesting to an official about a no-call on a drive by junior Isaiah Hicks.

The team announced on its Twitter account that Williams returned to Chapel Hill with the team. Kirschner said Wednesday that Williams didn’t require hospitalization or treatment outside Conte Forum on Tuesday night.
