SCHOOL FUNDING

COURT ENDS BLOCK GRANTS Lawmakers given “ until June 30 to find solution

It’s essentially a temper tantrum by the courts to push their political will on the Legislature.”

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers violated the state Constitution last year when they repealed the state’s old school finance formula and replaced it with a system of block grants for two years, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled Thursday.

The unsigned decision upheld a June 26, 2015, ruling by a threejudge district court panel, which said the new funding system is not equitable.

Lawmakers approved the 2015 law LEGISLATURE as a temporary fix to replace a per-student formula for distributing more than $4 billion a year to school in favor of stable “block grants.” The law was meant to give lawmakers time to devise another system for distributing more than $4 billion a year in aid to its 286 public school districts.

However, the court on Thursday said the three-judge panel acted prematurely in ordering the state to add nearly $50 million in additional funding to cure the inequities.

Instead, the court gave lawmakers until the end of this fiscal year, June 30, to fix the problem themselves. But the court also warned that it could close public schools next year if lawmakers fail, or refuse, to take action.

“Accordingly, the Legislature’s chosen path during the 2016 session will ultimately determine whether Kansas students will be treated fairly and the schoolhouse doors will be open to them in August for the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year,” the court said.

$446,000 Was lost by the Lawrence school district because of the funding change last year, according to finance director Kathy Johnson

Oread

Inn in the two months since city officials announced the findings of an audit that alleged Oread Wholesale, a wholesale company listed as a tenant of The Oread hotel, manipulated sales tax data to inflate sales within a special taxing district at the hotel. The redevelopment agreement requires the city to rebate back to the development group a large percentage of local sales tax dollars collected in the special taxing district at 1200 Oread Ave. “Improper” reimbursements, paid from January 2010 through May 2015, totaled $429,594.74, the audit found.

Sending a check for nearly $500,0000 to the city — including reimbursements for the overpayment plus interest — was the one demand Oread Inn complied with.

Oread Inn has contested the remaining demands, which included agreeing to amend the redevelopment pact to allow the city better access for audits; handing over financial documents Oread Wholesale used to prepare sales tax returns; and paying for the city’s audit of Oread Wholesale.

Oread Inn answered the city’s default notice Thursday with its own set of demands.

First, Oread Inn demanded the city give back the $429,592.74 it paid Dec. 31. It also demanded the city pay the reimbursements it withheld from Oread Inn since it halted payments June 9; that it reimburse $158,245 Oread Inn paid in property taxes in 2015 and that the city assure, in writing, that it will keep monthly sales tax returns from the group confidential.

In a statement Thursday evening, Edward Frizell, Oread Wholesale’s attorney, said the response was intended to “set the record straight and set out the real facts

hours later. It stated that if the city does not rectify the issues brought up by Oread Inn, the development group would pursue legal action.

At stake is $8 million: the amount Oread Inn could still generate in city reimbursements if the redevelopment agreement were to stand. Since its creation in 2008, the agreement has brought in $3 million for developers.

Stoddard’s letter to Oread Inn states the development group defaulted on a section of the agreement that requires mutual assistance in carrying out the agreement and its intent. But Oread Inn’s letter to the city late Thursday decried that allegation, saying the development group tried to resolve the dispute through discussions but that the city was unwilling.

“It appears the city has no interest in pursuing these discussions and instead wishes to pursue an aggressive agenda that will most likely result in litigation between the parties,” wrote Roger Walter, Oread Inn’s attorney.

Because the city had suspended reimbursements to the group starting June 9 during its investigation into the special taxing district established in the agreement, the city had broken the pact, Walter’s letter stated.

Oread Inn also said the city’s move to declare default earlier Thursday was “aggressive,” and the group demanded back the nearly $500,000 it paid to the city Dec. 31 “under protest” at the city’s demand.

The city has made multiple demands of Oread

Budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The Senate both debated the bill and passed it on final action, 23-16, the same night. Sens.

Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, and Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, voted against the bill.

Republicans who control the Senate pushed aside efforts by Democrats to delay the entire budget discussion and send it back to committee to revise the school funding system, or to carve out the K-12 funding portion and deal with it separately.

“This is nothing more than an opportunity to politically grandstand on a

hot topic,” said Ways and Means Committee Chairman Sen. Ty Masterson of Andover. “Today’s opinion is irrelevant to this particular discussion.”

Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, said after the debate that Senate leaders plan to get a private briefing early today and go over the decision with attorneys from the Legislature’s Revisor of Statutes office and Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office.

But Sen. Laura Kelly, DTopeka, the ranking Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, said she believes Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling is more serious than Republicans think. She said it requires passage of a new school funding formula this year, not mere tweaking

BRIEFLY New calendar OK’d for Eudora schools Eudora students will stick around an extra day before Winter Break begins but won’t have an extra Monday in May for the 2016-2017 school year.

The Eudora School Board approved a first draft of an academic calendar that will close school for a teacher workday on Dec. 22, with break officially beginning Dec. 23 and classes resuming Jan. 5, 2017. The last full day of school will be May 12, 2017, which is a Friday.

The second option, a revision suggested by the district’s calendar committee, would have dismissed students for a teacher workday on Dec. 21 and break beginning Dec. 22, but students would have returned for one final day on May 15, 2017, a Monday.

The school year will begin for grades 1 through 9 with an early dismissal day on Aug. 16, and the first full day for grades 1-12 will be Aug. 17. Kindergarten half-days will begin Aug. 18, with full days beginning Aug. 24.

Spring Break will begin for all Eudora students March 10, 2017, when teachers will have a workday. Classes will resume March 20, 2017.

Pipe organ is center of Wichita lawsuit Wichita (ap) — A pipe organ that has served as the musical backdrop to an amusement park clown is now the subject of a civil court case.

The Wichita Eagle reports an attorney for Joyland Amusement Park owner Margaret Nelson Spear filed a civil breach-of-contract lawsuit Wednesday in Sedgwick County District Court.

The lawsuit claims that ex-Joyland employee Damian Mayes didn’t pay money he owes after agreeing to purchase the Wurlitzer Style 160 “Mammoth” Military Band organ about six years ago.

Spear demands that Mayes either pay her the $9,000 he owes or allow her to repossess the organ.

Kansas Department of Corrections records say

“

The city has reviewed the letter and report (from Oread Wholesale) thoroughly and find them, legally and equitably, to be wanting.”

— Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard of this matter.”

The response included more information about a letter and report sent to the city Jan. 27 in response to the audit. Oread Inn had said previously that Oread Wholesale retained its own experts to review the audit and write the report. The city and an attorney for Oread Wholesale declined to release the report Wednesday, but Stoddard’s letter Thursday states the report attempted to legally justify Oread Wholesale’s actions.

Stoddard said in an email that the report and letter “did not alleviate the city’s concerns.”

“The city has reviewed the letter and report thoroughly and find them, legally and equitably, to be wanting,” Stoddard wrote in the letter to Oread Inn. Later in the city’s notice to Oread Inn, Stoddard states that Oread Wholesale has admitted to having a warehouse at The Oread hotel. A warehouse is listed under the redevelopment agreement as a restricted land use there. The city “brought that to Oread Inn’s attention” in November with a cease-anddesist letter, Stoddard’s letter reads. The city decided not to pursue the cease-and-desist based on feedback from Oread Wholesale and its attorneys, the letter states, but “now, it appears ... Oread Wholesale has reversed course on the issue.”

The letter goes on to allege that Oread Inn has acted indifferently about the warehouse violation and that the development group “has not given any assurance to the city,

written or otherwise, that it will cooperate with the city in the event of a similar future occurrence.”

Stoddard’s letter also says the city has “growing concerns” that “legal formalities were not maintained” in transactions made between Oread Wholesale, Oread Inn, DFC Company of Lawrence — the name of the group that owns Varsity House — and other entities. Part of that concern stems from the “significant overlap in ownership” of the companies, the letter reads.

Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel leads Oread Inn, Oread Wholesale and DFC. One of the audit’s findings was that Oread Wholesale would buy items from vendors — everything from construction materials to supplies for The Oread hotel — without paying a sales tax. Oread Wholesale then would “sell” those items to other companies in which Fritzel has an ownership interest. The sales would be recorded as occurring at 1200 Oread Ave., which means the sales taxes paid by Fritzel’s companies would largely be rebated back to the Fritzelled development group.

Oread Inn struck back Thursday, saying the city’s findings — compiled by Wichita-based Allen, Gibbs & Houlik — were based on “inaccurate and unsupported conclusions.”

Kansas City-based BKD LLP did an analysis of Oread Wholesale’s sales tax procedures and a site visit, the letter states.

The letter went on to list

of the current block grant funding system, and failure to comply with the court’s order could have drastic consequences.

“It depends upon how we react,” she said. “If we do what we need to do, create a constitutionally sound funding formula and fund it, we’ll be okay.

If we decide to buck the court and thumb our noses at them, no. We’ll be in a world of hurt. Our schools will be closed down.”

The Senate bill is similar in many respects to the House budget bill, which passed on a final vote earlier in the day, 68-56. It cuts about $70 million from the two-year budget lawmakers approved last year, leaving about $6.3 billion in total spending for each year and the state with tiny projected ending balances

both years.

During floor debate, however, senators took one option off the table in the event revenues come up short and the state faces a potential negative ending balance. They approved an amendment that prohibits Gov. Sam Brownback from delaying payments into the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System as a way to reduce general fund spending.

But there was no mention during the Senate debate of a controversial proviso that would prohibit Kansas University from using state money or special revenue funds to make lease payments on the $350 million Central District project. The Ways and Means Committee inserted that language as a punitive

Farm income falls during 4th quarter Omaha, Neb. (ap) — The Federal Reserve says farm income continued to decline during the fourth quarter in Midwestern and Western states, so farmers are borrowing more.

But the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Mo., said Thursday that bankers report few problems with farmers failing to make loan payments.

Farm income is down because prices have declined for cattle, soybeans, wheat and corn.

The value of farmland continues to decline. The value of non-irrigated land declined 4 percent in the fourth quarter, and irrigated land values slipped 2 percent from the previous year.

Middle schools to boost tech classes with new STEM labs

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The Lawrence school district’s technology program will soon be getting modernized, updating student projects from model rockets and circuit boards to design software and robots.

Plans are in the works to revamp all four middle schools’ technology classrooms — which before were composed of various two-person modules — into Science,

Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) labs.

The lab at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School is already in place, and labs at the remaining middle schools are scheduled to be added in the next couple years, according to the district’s capital outlay plan.

The new technology lab and curriculum were piloted at Liberty last school year and are in the process of expanding to the other three middle schools.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an order staying implementation of the Clean Power Plan until a legal challenge by several states, including Kansas, is resolved.

The Clean Power Plan requires states to develop plans for reducing carbon emissions from power plants. Each state is assigned targets for reduc-

ing its emissions over the next 15 years.

Last year, lawmakers authorized KCC and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to develop a plan, but it could only be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency if a legislative oversight committee approves.

The KCC is currently in the process of searching for a consulting firm to work on a study of what the state would be required to do. Olson said he thinks the state

he subject of guns on campus, as it usually does these days, came up in Thursday’s Kansas University Senate meeting. A KU-specific policy for implementing the law is still in infancy and nothing has been decided, but some tidbits of Thursday’s discussion may be of interest to the KU community.

For one, the University Senate’s weapons committee will continue to meet with groups across campus, University Senate President Mike Williams said. He said conversations with KU Athletics leaders indicate KU will at least need to put in place adequate security measures to prohibit guns during games at Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium. That raises the possibility that fans will have to go through metal detectors at both Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium.

Also, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said areas with sensitive

materials are likely candidates for security measures. (She did not specify any locations, but faculty have previously cited concerns over science and engineering labs housing combustible substances.)

“There are places at the campus where, because of the materials there, they’d have to be excluded because an accidental discharge of a weapon would be disastrous,” Gray-Little said.

A committee led by KU administration will develop a policy for allowing concealed carry

on campus, which will be required by state law beginning in July 2017.

Last month, the Kansas Board of Regents approved a policy requiring each state university to develop a campus-specific plan.

In other University Senate news: l The KU Staff Senate has created a Diversity and Inclusion Committee, Staff Senate President Chris Wallace reported. “We’ve come to realize our Senate is not real diverse,” he said, adding that the committee’s goal is outreach to underrepresented groups. l The University Senate elected a new vice president, graduate student and Student Senate representative Brent Lee. Lee will complete the term of Shegufta Huma, who is not enrolled as a student this semester.

$1.8 million estate gift to create new KU physics professorship Kansas University will establish a new professorship in physics, thanks to a $1.8 million gift from the estate of an alumnus who — shortly after earning his master’s degree from KU — worked at Los Alamos on the project to develop the atomic bomb.

The gift from Ernest D. Klema, who died in 2008, and his wife Virginia Klema, also a scientist, who died in 2015, will create the J.D. Stranathan Professorship of Experimental

Physics in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, KU Endowment announced Wednesday.

Carl Lejuez, dean of KU’s College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, said he was “incredibly grateful” for the gift.

Klema earned his bachelor’s degree in 1941 and his master’s degree in physics in 1942 from KU, according to KU Endowment. While working on his doctorate at Princeton University, his project was transferred to Los Alamos in New Mexico, where he worked on the

Manhattan project to develop the atomic bomb.

After World War II, Klema completed his doctorate in physics from Rice University and worked at several universities and labs before becoming a professor and dean of engineering at Tufts University.

J.D. Stranathan was a KU professor and physics department chair, whom Klema studied under as a graduate student at KU. Stranathan is known for writing a pioneering textbook, “The ‘Particles’ of Modern Physics.”

in weapons.

Public colleges and universities are exempt from that law until July 1, 2017.

Longbine’s amendment would have extended the exemption until 2021.

Public K-12 school buildings are exempt from the law entirely.

Sen. Forrest Knox, RAltoona, said banning guns on campus would actually make students less safe.

“The real issues are the

crimes that did not happen because young ladies had the means to protect themselves, or young men, or staff,” Knox said.

Longbine’s amendment failed, 11-26.

But the Senate also defeated, 14-25, an amendment offered by Sen. Michael O’Donnell, RWichita, that would have moved up the deadline for concealed carry on campus to July 1 of this year.

He offered the amendment onto a bill that would allow public employees who are qualified to own firearms, even if they’re not law enforcement officers, to carry concealed weapons both on and off the premises of their workplaces, including onto private property.

2018. In the meantime, teachers have already been trained on the new technology curriculum — called Project Lead the Way — and it is being rolled out using the district’s current technology classrooms. Kelly said the district has been intentionally phasing in the new classes in order to gather teacher and student feedback.

“For us, it’s really important to actually work with students on the curriculum and see is it really addressing their needs,” he said.

In addition to the classes at Liberty, Kelly said, some of the new curriculum has

been introduced at Southwest and South middle schools and will begin at West next school year.

One of the main elements of the curriculum is using technology and multiple concepts to solve problems, such as a class in which students design and build a robot, he said.

“Students are understanding how a gear ratio works, and how electricity and computer programming work,” Kelly said. “There are so many different pieces of technology that go into programing the robots, building the robots, and getting them to do what you want them to do.”

Once the classrooms are updated, the current design of 16 two-person modules will be replaced with more flexible furniture that will enable large groups to work on solving the same problem, Kelly said.

“They may come up with different solutions, but they’re all working on the same problem,” he said. “Because you can learn from how other people have solved the same problem; it’s just a different approach to teaching those STEM skills.”

The underlying bill calls for disbanding the Kansas Electric Transmission Authority and sweeping the balances of its funds, $251,356, into the state general fund.

It was supported in committee hearings by Americans for Prosperity, Westar Energy, Kansas City Power and Light, and Empire District Electric Co. The Kansas Sierra Club and the wind energy

company WindSoHy opposed the bill.

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, offered amendments to delay the effective date of the bill by a few months to allow for an orderly closing of the authority. She also offered an amendment to have the fund balances returned to consumers in the form of credits on utility bills. Both of those amendments failed.

SPREADING THE LOVE

Kelley Hunt giving back to Just Food at Valentine’s concert

W

hen musician Kelley Hunt was growing up, her mother could always be counted on to bring cheer to those who needed it most. She’d offer her humor, a few kind words and, perhaps most strikingly, her soulful, bluesy voice, at the drop of a hat to anyone who needed it.

Anywhere, too, Hunt recalls.

Mary Sue Wade, who still sings at age 86 — though not professionally, as she did for years at church and various Emporia venues — once sang in their neighborhood’s tiny grocery store for the proprietor, who was battling a serious illness at the time. People were moved to tears by the performance.

“Even when she was a housewife with four kids, if she could lift somebody up by singing to them, she’d do it,” Hunt says of her mother, whom she regards as her earliest musical influence. “She’d go to that person who wasn’t well or whatever, and she’d sit by them and sing to them. And I thought, ‘That’s how you serve somebody with what you got.’”

It’s how Hunt plans to serve her community Saturday, when the Lawrence-based, internationally touring singer-songwriter makes a hometown appearance at Liberty Hall to benefit Just Food. All proceeds from the “Valentine’s throwdown,” appropriately dubbed “Dance of Hearts,” will support the Douglas County food bank. Guests are also encouraged to bring donations of food items.

The gig is Hunt’s first Lawrence performance in “quite a while,” says the roots and R&B singer. For nearly two years now, she’s spent most of her time on the road promoting her 2014 release, “The Beautiful Bones.”

Saturday’s set list should be “a big chunk” of that album, she says, along with a generous dose of love songs and a handful of new tunes she’s been trying out for audiences lately. Now, after a slew of shows in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., last month, Hunt says she’s excited to return to the town — and the venue — that has served as “home base” for so many decades.

“There’s so much talent and creativity in this town. There really is,” says Hunt, who came to Lawrence as a teenager to study music composition at Kansas University. “But it’s a good place for me to come home to, and I don’t play here as often as I used

LAWRENCE-BASED SINGER-SONGWRITER KELLEY HUNT will make a hometown appearance Saturday night at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. All proceeds from the show, titled “Dance of Hearts,” will go to the Douglas County food bank Just Food.

Out & About

to. I’m glad to be home.”

Growing up in Emporia amid a musical family, Hunt’s education began long before her college days. Her parents, both musicians, would bring her along to traveling performances at Emporia State University. In the summer, she’d ride her bike to outdoor concerts.

But Lawrence, Hunt says, was something else entirely. It was here that Hunt saw Bonnie Raitt perform live for the first time — or rather, she heard Raitt, sitting outside Hoch Auditorium because she couldn’t afford tickets — and began applying Raitt’s “strong, graceful” presence to her fledgling career.

“They took you there because they went there,” Hunt says of the female vocalists, among them

Billie Holiday, Mahalia Jackson and Ruth Brown, whom her mother seemed to embody back home in Emporia.

Mary Sue Wade taught her daughter: “Be generous with your gift.”

It’s what she’s choosing to do now for Just Food, because, as far as Hunt’s concerned, “In lieu of writing a personal check, which I would love to be able to do, I can do a lot more for more people where I live with my music.”

Tickets for “Dance of Hearts” range from $25 to $40 and can be purchased at libertyhall.net or at the Liberty Hall box office, 644 Massachusetts St. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m.

If hosting friends breaks the bank, go out Dear Annie: We have friends whom we’ve hosted for dinner at least a half-dozen times in the past few years.

But they have never invited us to their home.

They once invited us to dine with them at a restaurant, but they did not offer to pay for our meal.

that method. Invite them to join you at a restaurant and split the bill. That way, you can continue to enjoy their company, and no one feels taken advantage of. And it’s perfectly OK to periodically entertain them in your home, should you wish to do so, as long as you expect nothing in return.

Dear Used: Had they treated you at a restaurant, that would have been a fine way to reciprocate, because not everyone is comfortable entertaining in their home. But since they expect you to pay Dear Annie: I read your own way, we sug- the letter from “The gest you continue with Ones Left Behind,”

2 timeless ‘Peanuts’ specials ABC offers two “Peanuts” holiday specials, “Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown” (7 p.m., TV-G) from 1975, and “A Charlie Brown Valentine” (7:30 p.m., TV-G), which appeared on ABC in 2002, the first special produced after creator Charles Schulz died in 2000.

Both include tales of love and longing and misunderstanding.

In the first, Sally mistakes a box of candy that Linus left for his teacher as a token of affection.

In the second, Charlie Brown wants to call his longtime crush, the Little RedHaired Girl, but can’t locate her phone number. One wonders if younger viewers can even identify with this very analog 20thcentury problem. Why didn’t Charlie Brown just Google her?

At the same time, there is a timeless quality to these stories, perhaps because they are so grounded in grade school. I am continually struck at how much Facebook resembles the routine of grammar school. Like some kindly third-grade teacher, the Facebook algorithm reminds us of our friends’ birthdays and cajoles us to behave and make a nice greeting. Is that so different from the “everybody gets a Valentine’s card” ethos of third grade?

In “Be My Valentine,” Charlie Brown makes the most of the rumpled “pity” Valentine’s card he receives from Violet on Feb. 15. How many of us go through life either receiving or bestowing such meager gestures? How many of us have tried to play catch-up on Facebook, wishing somebody a happy birthday a day late, after this friend we had ignored or forgotten had publicly thanked everybody else for the many good wishes?

Technology changes, but “Peanuts,” perhaps, is forever.

So, it seems, is third grade.

o much for legislative leaders’ hopes for a short, relatively noncontroversial, session.

The Kansas Legislature has been speeding toward passage of a budget for fiscal year 2017, which starts July 1. On Thursday, the Kansas Supreme Court brought that process to an abrupt halt with a ruling that the state’s current school finance system doesn’t meet constitutional requirements. Specifically, the court said that “the inequities found to exist” among school districts in the state “have not yet been cured.”

The court set a June 30 deadline for legislators to address the problems. If they do not, the court said, “no constitutionally valid school finance system” would exist and no funds could “lawfully be raised, distributed, or spent” for schools in fiscal year 2017. In other words, public schools in Kansas would be out of business.

The timing of this ruling was uncertain, but its substance shouldn’t be a surprise. Last year, legislators switched public schools to block-grant funding, based on what districts had received in the previous year, with no provisions for enrollment increases or other factors that affect a district’s budget. They said the block-grant system would be in effect for two years while they crafted a new school finance formula. There seemed to be little progress on drafting a new formula this year, but that apparently will have to change.

Although the court said it would not enforce a lower court order to allocate an additional $54 million to Kansas schools, it seems unlikely Thursday’s court ruling could be satisfied without adding money to the coming year’s budget. With the state already struggling to meet its financial obligations, it will be difficult to add money to school budgets without addressing the state’s revenue situation — something that neither the governor nor legislative leaders wants to do.

The political lines on this issue were being drawn immediately after the ruling was made public, and the situation will only feed existing tensions between the courts and the other two branches of state government. While Democratic leaders called on legislators to restore school funding, some Republicans quickly saw political motivations in the court action. Sen. Jeff Melcher, R-Leawood, called the ruling “just a temper tantrum by the Supreme Court.” House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, noted the timing of the ruling on the same day as House action on the budget. Sen. Julia Lynn, R-Overland Park, also saw political motives in the court’s decision to release the ruling on Thursday instead of on Friday, a more common day to make rulings public. “I think it’s obviously a strategic move on their part to send a message to the Legislature,” she told the Wichita Eagle.

Well, yes. Regardless of when the ruling was released, it sends a clear message to Kansas legislators that their school funding system doesn’t meet constitutional muster and must be changed. Defining and implementing those changes is likely to be a dominant topic for the rest of what now could be a long legislative session.

Economic protections focus of case Washington — It is frequently said that, unfortunately, Americans disdain government. It is more usefully said that, unfortunately, they have abundant reasons for doing so. In coming days, the Supreme Court, by deciding to hear a case from Connecticut, can begin limiting a contemptible government abuse that the court’s passive deference to legislatures has encouraged.

The case concerns a minor economic activity, teeth whitening, but a major principle: Can a state limit Americans’ opportunities by restricting access to particular professions for no reason other than the enrichment of people entrenched in those professions? If the court refuses to hear the case, or if it hears it and decides it incorrectly, the “rational basis” test for judging government regulations of economic activities will no longer test anything — it will be completely severed from reasoning based on evidence.

Teeth whitening is a simple, safe procedure that people can perform on themselves with materials — a peroxide-based whitener and an LED “activating light” — bought without prescriptions. Or they can pay whitening salons to do it for them. The salons charge much less, often $150 or less, compared with $350 or more charged by dentists, many of whom regard the salons as competitors to be crushed by political power. Dentists are

Can a state limit Americans’ opportunities by restricting access to particular professions for no reason other than the enrichment of people entrenched in those professions?” organized, salons are not, so at least 30 states have defended the strong by giving government-licensed dentists and dental hygienists a whitening monopoly. The Connecticut State Dental Commission, which is run by and for dentists, is empowered by law to write whitening regulations.

They can subject salon operators to fines up to $25,000 or up to five years in prison — per customer — for the crime of giving customers assistance (applying the whitener, positioning the LED light in front of the customers’ mouths).

This is pure rent seeking — a politically connected faction bending public power for its private benefit by crippling competitors.

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has complacently said of other people’s injuries from government favoritism: “While baseball may be the national pastime of the citizenry, dishing out special economic benefits to certain in-state industries remains the favored pastime of state and local governments.”

Echoing this in the Connecticut case, the 2nd Circuit has dismissively said, “Much of what states do is to favor certain groups over others on economic grounds. We call this politics.”

The rational basis test already is extremely permissive. Courts administering it defer to government restrictions on economic activity whenever legislatures enunciate any reasons for the restrictions. And courts occasionally concoct reasons the legislatures have neglected to imagine. This vast judicial deference is a consequence of the Supreme Court distinguishing, without warrant in the Constitution’s text or history, between “fundamental” rights, infringements of which must survive strict judicial scrutiny, and economic rights that receive lackadaisical scrutiny.

In the Connecticut whiteners case, the 2nd Circuit held that courts can render summary judgment on behalf of the government even when plaintiffs in rational basis cases produce undisputed evidence that the challenged

regulations cannot plausibly be said to advance governmental interests in public health or safety. The 5th, 6th and 9th Circuits, however, have held that naked economic protectionism — protecting an economic faction from competition — is not a legitimate governmental purpose. The Supreme Court must referee this dispute.

Connecticut’s whiteners are represented by the Institute for Justice, America’s foremost defender of economic liberty and of the entrepreneurial, often minority individuals whose progress up the ladder of social mobility is blocked by cartels such as Connecticut’s dentists.

The institute reduces the case to its essence: “It is unconstitutional to require someone to have eight years of higher education (college and dental school) before they can point a flashlight at someone’s teeth.” If the Supreme Court rejects this patent truth by allowing the 2nd Circuit’s conclusion to stand, the rational basis test will become a charade, which will effectively mean the end of judicial review of economic regulations. This will become an unlimited license for government to impede access to professions, reward rent seekers and punish consumers, thereby validating Americans’ deepening disdain for government.

Mexico wall an $8 billion hoax For the first time, Donald Trump has disclosed that his proposed wall on the border with Mexico — which has become one of the centerpieces of his campaign — would cost about $8 billion.

If so, it would be the biggest waste of money in recent history, even if it were paid for in Mexican pesos.

“The wall is probably $8 billion, which is a tiny fraction of the money that we lose with Mexico,” Trump told MSNBC on Tuesday.

“It’s a very simple calculation,” Trump said. He explained that the border is 2,000 miles long, “and of the 2,000, we don’t need 2,000, we need a thousand, because we have natural barriers.”

Asked how he would pay for the wall, Trump repeated his claim that he would get Mexico to pay for it. Pressed on how he would get Mexico to pay for it, he responded simply, “You tell ‘em, ‘You’re gonna pay for it.’”

Needless to say, there was a collective explosion of laughter from the Mexican side of the border.

When I called former Mexican President Vicente Fox to ask about Trump’s proposed wall, he responded, “He’s crazy!”

He added that Trump would trigger a nationalistic counter-reaction in Mexico, isolate the United States from one of its biggest trading part-

Like most demagogues, Trump is playing on people’s ignorance and xenophobic instincts to present himself as a new messiah.” ners and hurt the U.S. economy. “He’s a false messiah who says things that people like to hear, but that are irresponsible,” he said.

There are at least five reasons why Trump’s border wall would be, to use one of Trump’s favorite terms, stupid.

First, there is no serious study showing that there is currently an avalanche of undocumented immigrants to this country.

On the contrary, the Pew Research Center and the Center for Migration Studies of New York, based on U.S. Census figures, say that the overall number of undocumented immigrants in the

U.S. has fallen from a record 12 million in 2007 to 10.9 million today.

Second, about 40 percent of migrants who enter the U.S. illegally don’t do it by crossing the Mexican border, but come in by plane and overstay their visas, U.S. officials say. A wall across the border would not stop those who come by air.

Third, the number of undocumented Mexicans moving to the United States is unlikely to increase in the future for demographic reasons.

While Mexico had a birthrate of more than six children per woman in the 1960s, the birth rate has plummeted to 2.2 children per woman today. In other words, the pool of Mexican young people, who are the most likely to migrate, has shrunk.

Fourth, a wall along part of the border would push potential migrants to cross through more remote — and dangerous — border areas, raise the fees of people smugglers, and ensure that large numbers of undocumented people stay in the United States.

Many Mexican men who now come to the United States to do seasonal work in farms and return to Mexico in the winters would find it too hard, and expensive, to keep circulating between the two countries.

They would stay here, and — in the absence of massive

numbers of newcomers — increase the number of undocumented residents here.

Fifth, Trump’s proposed wall, along with his statements depicting most Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists, his vows to renegotiate the NAFTA free trade deal with Mexico and his calls for the deportation of 11 million undocumented people would almost certainly trigger a nationalistic, antiAmerican reaction in Mexico, the rest of Latin America and much of the world.

This may be dismissed as irrelevant by many Trump followers, but a trade war with Mexico would hurt the United States, too. Mexico and Canada are the two largest U.S. export markets, and U.S. exports to its two neighbors support more than 3 million American jobs, according to figures from the U.S. Trade Representative.

My opinion: Like most demagogues, Trump is playing on people’s ignorance and xenophobic instincts to present himself as a new messiah. But, for the reasons stated above, his proposed wall across the border would be a monumental waste of money, a symbol of isolationism and a recipe for America’s decline as a global power.

Lawrence For the Lawrence school district, the change to block grant funding resulted in an estimated net loss of more than $446,000 this year, according to the district’s finance director, Kathy Johnson. That was mainly due to changes in the way the state now calculates supplemental aid, which subsidizes districts’ local option budgets. The district also gained about 250

“I don’t know what Sam Brownback and his legislative allies expected when they eliminated the school finance formula, thereby eliminating all equity components — proving they are out of step with Kansans who value good, quality public schools,” Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, said.

Thursday’s ruling did not address another, much larger issue in the school finance lawsuit: whether overall funding for public schools is adequate for them to provide students with a suitable education.

The three-judge panel has ruled that current funding is not adequate, and has suggested the state may need to add as much as $500 million a year in funding.

Oral arguments before the Supreme Court on that portion of the case have not been scheduled but are expected to occur this spring. A decision on that question could come before the November general elections.

Most of the school districts in Douglas County received less state aid under the block grants than they would have under the old formula. Some of the biggest losses were in districts’ supplemental aid and capital outlay funds, both key sources of operating costs.

Because the block grants essentially froze the current levels of the old perstudent funding formula, districts that had increases in enrollment fared worse.

Though district officials welcomed the ruling, the level of uncertainly regarding the future funding remained.

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers violated the state Constitution last year when they repealed the state’s old school finance formula and replaced it with a system of block grants for two years, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled Thursday.

The unsigned decision upheld a June 26, 2015, ruling by a threejudge district court panel, which said the new funding system is not equitable.

Lawmakers approved the 2015 law LEGISLATURE as temporary fix to replace a per-student formula for distributing more than $4 billion a year to school in favor of stable “block grants.” The law was meant to give lawmakers time to devise another system for distributing more than $4 billion a year in aid to its 286 public school districts.

However, the court on Thursday said the three-judge panel acted prematurely in ordering the state to add nearly $50 million in additional funding to cure the inequities.

Instead, the court gave lawmakers until the end of this fiscal year, June 30, to fix the problem themselves. But the court also warned that it could close public schools next year if lawmakers fail, or refuse, to take action.

“Accordingly, the Legislature’s chosen path during the 2016 session will ultimately determine whether Kansas students will be treated fairly and the schoolhouse doors will be open to them in August for the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year,” the court said.

The decision is likely to increase political tension between the court and the Republican lawmakers, many of whom still argue that the court overstepped its bounds in 2005 when, in an earlier school finance case, it ordered the Legislature to increase funding by hundreds of millions of dollars per year.

Gravitational waves confirmed Gravitational waves, ripples that can be unleashed by movements of massive objects in space, travel at the speed of light through the fabric of space-time.

Albert Einstein had predicted their existence in 1916. uTwo black holes swinging around each other create gravitational waves as they spiral closer together. uUltimately, the black holes (center of spiral) collide, releasing more gravitational waves.

n a discovery that promises to revolutionize astronomy, scientists have made the first direct observations of gravitational waves — bizarre ripples in space-time foreseen by Albert Einstein a century ago.

The find is a triumph for Einstein’s celebrated general theory of relativity, the basis of his 1916 prediction that the fabric of the universe is perturbed by gravitational energy.

The find also is a triumph for the mammoth scientific apparatus — the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) — that was the first to pick up the stealthy advance of these waves, in this case created by the violent union of two black holes 1.3 billion years ago.

Other scientists hailed the find as the kind of advance that comes along only once or twice in a lifetime.

Because gravitational waves carry information about their source, the ability to detect these undulations will allow researchers to study distant and elusive features of the universe.

Black holes too far away to

study using today’s techniques, for example, should become easy scientific prey with the help of gravitational waves.

Study of the universe via gravitational waves “will be the astronomy of the 21st century,” predicted Arizona State University’s Lawrence Krauss, who is not part of the LIGO team.

“This is a whole new window on the universe.”

As far back as the 1970s, scientists garnered indirect evidence for such waves, spawned by the movements of massive objects in space, such as spinning supernovae or whirling pairs of neutron stars. The $1 billion LIGO directly captured the wave itself, which, if confirmed, would be “a monumental extra step,” said Cole Miller of the University of Maryland, who is not affiliated with LIGO. LIGO’s twin detectors — in Hanford, Wash., and Livingston, La., — picked up the wave on Sept. 14, 2015 — several days before data collection was to resume after a five-year renovation of the equipment.

The gravitational waves detected by LIGO came from the final moments before the collision of the two black holes in the vast outer regions of the cosmos.

in Syria’s civil war

Jim Michaels @jimmichaels USA TODAY

Diplomats meeting in Munich agreed early Friday to implement a “cessation of hostilities” in Syria’s long-running civil war and bring aid into the country to help stem a growing humanitarian crisis that has displaced millions.

Secretary of State John Kerry announced the agreement after meeting with his Russian counterpart and other diplomats in an effort to reach a cease-fire in the nearly five-year-long war.

The cease-fire, which would take effect in a week’s time, is far from certain to occur because it depends on most forces

fighting in Syria to agree to its terms.

Kerry said the agreement would not apply to the fighters for the Islamic State and the alQaeda affiliated al-Nusra front, two groups battling government forces of President Bashar Assad.

A U.S.-led coalition is conducting an air war against the Islamic State in Syria.

Russia is also conducting airstrikes in Syria in support of Assad, who the United States wants to step down. Russia says the strikes are aimed at terrorists, but the United States said their airstrikes are aimed at propping up Assad.

The war has left more than 250,000 dead and created the worst refugee crisis for Europe since World War II.

White House bans guns — finally

Signs were finally put up “literally because we have to by law” Gregory Korte USA TODAY

The signs appeared at the White House around the time of a winter storm that closed down much of the federal government for three days last month: “WARNING: Weapons Prohibited.”

Posted outside guard shacks with metal detectors, the signs WASHINGTON

threaten fines and prison time for something most visitors probably consider common sense: Don’t bring a gun into the White House.

So why the signs?

“The signs were put up literally because we have to by law,” said David Iacovetti, the deputy assistant director of public affairs for the U.S. Secret Service.

“The only way we can search somebody and have those charges stick is have the sign posted.”

That law is the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. Neither the Secret Service nor the Justice De-

partment could explain why it took 28 years to install the signs.

They said the lack of signage hasn’t impacted their ability to arrest and convict people threatening the White House complex.

Under Section 930 of the federal criminal code, it’s a Class A misdemeanor to bring a firearm or dangerous weapon into a federal facility, punishable by up to a year in prison.

If you intend to commit a crime with that weapon, it becomes a Class E felony, carrying up to five years in prison.

The same law requires that notice of the penalties “be posted

conspicuously at each public entrance to each federal facility.”

Without the notice, a person can’t be convicted.

Iacovetti said the Secret Service installed the signs last month on the advice of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

Prosecution under Section 930 is rare. A USA TODAY analysis of court data found only one case since 1995 in which prosecutors in Washington enforced the law: James Von Brunn, the Holocaust Museum shooter in 2009 who was also charged with murder.

VOICES

Time travel summit held in Hollywood

Fans thrilled to take guided tour down TV’s ‘Tunnel’ Christine Brennan USA TODAY Sports

The unexpected text message arrived Oct. 24, 2015, two days after USA TODAY’s commemoration of Back to the Future Day. “For decades now I thought I was the only one left who remembered or cared about The Time Tunnel. I never missed an episode. About 15 years ago, I saw James Darren at the luggage carousel at LAX. I could not have been more thrilled if it had been Babe Ruth. Hope u r well.

Bob Costas.”

The renowned NBC sportscaster was referring to my Back to the Future Voices column, an ode to time travel in which I dated my obsession back to the 1960s television classic, The Time Tunnel. Each week, Tony Newman and Doug Phillips, played by James Darren and Robert Colbert, found themselves landing in just the right spot as a huge historic event was about to take place: the attack on Pearl Harbor, the sinking of the Titanic, the siege of the Alamo, D-Day. Bob’s text triggered an idea: What if we two time travel nuts could track down our hero James Darren and take him to lunch or dinner?

Years earlier, during the O.J. Simpson saga, I had been on a TV show or two with Darren’s son, Jim Moret. It didn’t take long to get his cell number.

I texted Jim. He texted back with his father’s e-mail address.

Before I could send a message, I received a text from Christian Darren, another of James Darren’s sons, saying they would be “delighted” to meet with us the next time we all were in Los Angeles. Amazingly, all of this was done without once clicking on Facebook.

I immediately alerted Bob. It was in the midst of the World Series.

“I am more psyched for this than for Game 2 tonite,” he texted. “This is beyond cool! Climbing into our own Time Tunnel and heading for 1966!”

And so it came to pass that on Monday, Feb. 8, in the year 2016,

Sportscaster Bob Costas and columnist Christine Brennan got to meet their time-traveling hero James Darren, who starred in the 1960s TV show The Time Tunnel. at precisely 6:30 p.m. California time, James and Christian Darren, Bob and Jill Costas and I converged on Craig’s in West Hollywood to have dinner and engage in our own very personal brand of time travel.

James Darren had invited Robert Colbert, but he couldn’t make it. Darren explained that it’s hard to drag Colbert out of his beloved Malibu.

Bob and I weren’t quite so sure. I wondered if perhaps Colbert was stuck in Gettysburg.

“I heard it was Plymouth Rock, but why quibble?” Bob said.

Darren, a onetime teen idol who looks fantastic at 79 and still performs in Las Vegas, was more than agreeable when Bob and I started asking him all about the TV show. Although he

“About 15 years ago, I saw James Darren at the luggage carousel at LAX. I could not have been more thrilled if it had been Babe Ruth.”

Bob Costas

seemed to enjoy the reminiscing as much as we did, Bob added a crucial note of caution: “Stop us when we get too obnoxious.”

We quickly found out Darren’s favorite episode was also both of ours: “The Day The Sky Fell In,” in which Tony and Doug

travel back to Pearl Harbor on Dec. 6, 1941, the eve of the attack.

As luck would have it, Darren’s character, Tony, grew up in Honolulu, where his father was stationed at the U.S. naval office.

You can probably see where this is going. Nearly two decades before Marty McFly met his parents in the first Back to the Future movie, adult Tony runs into 7-year-old Tony while he’s trying to warn his — their — father, a Navy commander, about the impending attack.

It gets better. Tony’s father died during the attack on Pearl Harbor, but Tony never knew how. He finds out in the show.

After the bombs have fallen, time-traveling Tony ends up in an office with his mortally wounded father.

“You said you knew me a long time ago and that you’ve always remembered,” Tony’s father says.

“My name is Tony Newman,” Darren says.

“Tony Newman. I know you. I know you as well as I know my own son.”

Tears well in Darren’s eyes.

“I … I am your son.”

As we retold the story, we of course uttered those immortal words. To watch James Darren watch us repeat his famous line from nearly 50 years ago was almost too good to be true. Who says time travel is impossible?

The evening already was a complete success, and we hadn’t even ordered yet.

Brennan is a USA TODAY sports columnist who plans to travel ahead to 2030 to find out if she and Costas ever write a time travel sports novel.

Sanders, Clinton agree systems in U.S. broken Democratic rivals split on viability of plans for change Susan Page USA TODAY

Little more than 48 hours after the polls closed in New Hampshire, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former secretary of State Hillary Clinton tangled Thursday night in their sixth presidential debate — their contest transformed by Sanders’ crushing victory in the opening primary.

Sanders called for the “courage” to pursue big ambitions; Clinton argued he was making “a promise that cannot be kept.”

Sanders added concerns about “a broken criminal justice system” to his litany that includes attacks on the campaign-finance system and the “rigged economy.” Clinton repeatedly embraced President Obama, depicting herself as his natural political heir.

Their manner was carefully courteous to one another — after all, the debate was hosted by PBS — but their words often were caustic and cutting, and they became more heated as the debate wore on. Clinton was in search of momentum after her narrow win in Iowa and near-historic defeat in New Hampshire. Sanders was under pressure to demonstrate he could expand his appeal to include more of the minority voters who will be crucial in the next set of contests.

Nevada, where nearly one in five voters are Latino, will hold Democratic caucuses Feb. 20. A week later, Democrats in South Carolina, a majority of them African-American, will vote in the Palmetto State primary.

That brought a sharper focus on questions that haven’t been at the center of previous debates,

including notorious cases of police violence against unarmed black men and the issue of mass incarceration of African Americans. Both called for comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants now living in the United States. Both opposed immigration raids that the Obama administration has launched.

While they espoused similar goals, there were some fundamental differences between them in the proper reach and role of the federal government, and in how its political campaigns should be financed. Sanders once again took Clinton to task for her ties to Wall Street

and a super PAC supporting her campaign.

“I think what our campaign is indicating is that the American people are tired of establishment politics, tired of establishment economics,” he said in his opening statement. “They want a political revolution.”

Clinton declared she was running for president especially to help “those who have been left out and left behind.” She called Sanders’ proposals on health care and other issues unrealistic.

“The numbers don’t add up,” she said of his “Medicare For All” plan. “Many people will be worse

off than they are now.”

Neither gave ground. At one point, Sanders said to her dismissively, “Secretary Clinton, you’re not in the White House yet.”

Asked about whether he might upending the potential election of the first woman president, he replied, “I think a Sanders victory would be of some historical accomplishment as well.”

The debate, moderated by Judy Woodruff and Gwen Ifill, was held at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. It was the final face-to-face Democratic showdown scheduled until after the Super Tuesday contests March 1.

By then, the campaign is likely to have taken on a new and sharper definition.

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton debate Thursday at the University of WisconsinMilwaukee.

A bizarre ending to Oregon refuge saga Last holdout makes rambling phone call streamed online Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

Four holdouts at a federal wildlife refuge surrendered peacefully Thursday to end a 41day takeover, but not before one protester balked at the last moment and threatened to shoot himself in a rambling, hour-long discussion livestreamed online.

David Fry, 27, speaking by cellphone on an open line broadcast on YouTube, said he was “feeling suicidal” only moments after his three companions peacefully surrendered to the FBI and a group of negotiators led by evangelist Franklin Graham.

The four were the last holdouts of the takeover of the refuge Kim Hjelmgaard and Valeria Criscione USA TODAY

While Germany has grabbed most of the attention for its response to Europe’s migrant crisis, little fjord-filled Norway has quietly emerged as one of the largest contributors of humanitarian aid to Syrian refugees.

The oil-rich Scandinavian country of 5 million has pledged $1.2 billion over the next four years for people who have fled Syria’s nearly 5-year-old civil war.

That compares with $1.7 billion committed by the United Kingdom (population 65 million) and $2.6 billion by Germany (81 million) through 2018.

Based on population, Norway is donating $240 a person, compared with $26 by the U.K. and $32 by Germany. Since 2011, the United States (population 323 million) has pledged $5.1 billion in aid, or $16 a person.

Norway can afford to be generous: Its GDP of $97,000 per person is nearly double that of the U.S. “Syria will need an educated population to get back on its feet when the war is over,” Norway’s Foreign Minister Børge Brende told USA TODAY. “The country’s future depends on political stability and social and economic development.”

Brende said that about 18 million refugees in Syria and neighboring countries, such as Turkey and Lebanon, are in need of humanitarian assistance. In addition to responding to their immediate needs, the money will be used to create jobs and support education.

“Norway has a long tradition for providing overseas aid,” Brende said. “I believe that most Norwegians understand that it is important to continue to support the refugees.”

Despite Norway’s spending, some critics complain that it’s still not enough and that the nation is sending too much aid into OSLO

that began Jan. 2 as a protest against federal land-use policies.

“I am actually pointing a gun at my head. I am tired of living here,” Fry said at one point.

In a long rant to online commentator and activist Gavin Seim and Christian lawyer KrisAnne Hall, Fry complained of his taxes paying for abortions and his marijuana being taken away. Last year, voters in his home state of Ohio turned down a bill to legalize the sale of marijuana.

“I will no longer be a slave to this system,” he said, growing increasingly agitated.

In the end, Fry gave up after telling an FBI negotiator by phone he wanted everyone to shout “hallelujah” if he walked out.

As he fumbled with the cellphone, Fry could be heard shouting, “hallelujah,” and then said, “one more cookie and one more

cigarette” before strolling to the FBI checkpoint.

The other three unarmed holdouts gave up without incident. They walked one by one toward an olive green armored vehicle carrying Graham and Nevada lawmaker Michele Fiore.

Holding hands, Sean Anderson, 48, of Riggins, Idaho, and his wife, Sandy, 47, went first, their arms held high. Sean Anderson carried an American flag in his right hand. Sandy Anderson was patted down by an FBI agent and then taken away. Jeff Banta, 46, of Yerington, Nev., went next.

The FBI said the four would be arraigned before a federal judge in Portland on Friday.

Graham, at the request of the protesters and the FBI, was in phone contact with the group for the past week to negotiate an end to the standoff. The North Carolina preacher joined Fiore in an armored vehicle to reach

the Syrian region at the expense of helping more refugees resettle in Norway.

“I wouldn’t call it generous,” said Jan Egeland, secretary-general of the Norwegian Refugee Council, a humanitarian organization with representatives in 25 countries.

“I would say (the funding pledges) are close to what you should expect from all countries with a strong economy and with a peaceful society. It’s not like Norway is doing more than it should.

It’s the others who are not stepping up to the plate,” he said.

For 2016, the international community has pledged $10 billion for Syria. Less than half of the 2015 pledge has materialized, according to the U.N. Linn Herland Landro, founder of the Refugees Welcome to the Arctic activist group, which is campaigning to stop the deportation of about 5,500 asylum seekers who crossed into Norway from Russia, said raising new funds for Syrians is a positive step. “At the same time, I find it problematic that they are not finding good solutions in Europe, and in Norway, for those seeking

protection,” she said.

Landro’s comments reflect a debate within Norway and elsewhere in Europe about whether it is better to send aid directly to Syria and surrounding nations or take in more refugees. Like many other countries across Europe, Norway has recently moved to tighten its asylum laws.

“It’s not just about politics, speeches and money,” Landro said. “We can’t expect that money will stop people from fleeing.

There is a war down there.”

Egeland, from the Norwegian Refugee Council, said it was a false choice. “We have to do both,” he said.

The Congressional Black Caucus PAC endorsed Hillary Clinton for president ahead of the South Carolina primary later this month, saying she’s the most consistent ally of the black community.

Both Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders have been rolling out endorsements from influential black politicians and stars. Sanders announced Thursday that entertainer Harry Belafonte is backing him.

Yet earning of the caucus’s seal of approval will be a huge help to Clinton as many of its members will take their message on the road before the Feb. 27 South Carolina primary and other southern states that follow in March with large black populations.

Building owner charged in fatal explosion Madison Iszler USA TODAY

NEW YORK A building owner and contractors were indicted Thursday on a host of charges, including manslaughter and homicide, for their roles in an East Village explosion that killed two people and injured more than a dozen others.

The charges stem from a gas leak on March 27 that sparked an explosion in a five-story apartment building in Manhattan’s East Village. The explosion leveled the building, destroyed several properties nearby and started a sevenalarm fire.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance called the gas explosion “foreseeable, preventable and completely avoidable.”

He warned that property owners and builders need to resist temptation to break the rules and “take dangerous, and in some instances, deadly shortcuts.”

An indictment returned in New York State Supreme Court charges that the building owner and manager hired contractors who filed false paperwork to get gas meters installed, then rented units in the building even after the apartments failed inspections. When the gas inspection failed, workers allegedly constructed an illegal gas

forgery. The Idaho Statesman reported that the two women have been accused of stealing from the estates of three people who died without a will or heirs.

MARKET TUMULT CHARTS NEW WATERS GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

Fears are rampant and emotions high as selling begets selling in a financial world filled with unknowns

Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

The persistent pounding global stock markets are taking seems to be taking on a more sinister tone and more dangerous phase, with emotions and fear taking on a bigger role in the rout, investors questioning the ability of the world’s central bankers to calm the market’s frayed nerves and a volatile environment in which selling begets more selling.

At the moment, the world’s stock markets are stuck in a negative feedback loop, in which one part of the globe, sparked by growth fears, sinking oil prices, interest rate confusion and — yes, falling stock prices — is spreading to other places, causing a marketspecific type of contagion that causes a self-fulfilling prophecy of ever-lower stock prices.

Indeed, what started out as a sell-off in the energy patch has spread to the key financial sector and once-high-flying tech sector.

19 big stocks defy market sell-off with big gains Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Not everyone is getting pummeled by the market’s sell-off. Investors in some rather unexciting corners of the market are getting some pretty exciting gains.

There are 19 stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 that are flourishing, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Each of these stocks is up for the year, a notable feat given that the S&P 500 is down nearly 11% in this dismal start to 2016. On top of their year-to-date gains, each of these stocks have been rising amid the ongoing turmoil

that started last year. All 19 of these stocks are less than 4% away from their highest levels the past 52 weeks.

Finding gains in this stock market is getting increasingly difficult. The S&P 500 is down 14.5% from its high notched last May — and has been struggling to find its footing since. But these 19 stocks are up an average of 21% from that same point when the market tapped out.

Investors have been following a tried-and-true playbook when seeking ways to profit amid a market sell-off: focusing on sure things. Companies that sell goods consumers need in good times and bad and utilities have been on a winning strategy. Nearly half of the 19 stocks that are scoring

THRIVING STOCKS S&P 500 stocks that are thriving:

are in the consumer staples industry. That’s followed by a third that are in utilities.

It’s easy to understand why.

Take Tyson Foods. Not only are shares up 13% this year, but they hit a 52-week high this week.

The company has been churning out steady revenue growth every year since 2009. Revenue is expected to fall 10% this fiscal year, but analysts are still calling for the company’s adjusted profit to rise 27%, S&P Global Market Intelligence says.

It’s tough to beat utilities during times of market distress.

Sometimes it takes a market downtown to appreciate these investments. Consolidated Edison, which serves the New York area, is up 18% this year — and that’s

not including its market-beating 3.6% dividend yield.

There’s something mmm, mmm good about packaged food companies, too, during periods of economic uncertainty. Campbell Soup has been working to make its products more competitive in an age of grass-fed organic beef and build-to-order cuisine.

Shares of Campbell are up 9% this year and are up 22% from last year’s market high. The company pays a 2.2% dividend.

If you own hot tech stocks — or most stocks for that matter — you’re feeling the pain.

But lately, it’s paying to hunker down with defensive stocks that know how to churn out gains no matter what the economy is doing.

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

It’s become painful to watch the ongoing plunge in stock prices. The Dow fell another 255 points Thursday and is now down 10.1% for the year. But it’s hard not to keep checking your smart phone or tune into cable business channels to see if the Dow, S&P 500 or Nasdaq is trading up or down, especially when most Americans have money riding on the stock market.

There is really nothing else to watch, frankly. Sure there are economic reports out Friday, including January retail sales, December business inventories and the preliminary reading on February consumer sentiment from the University of Michigan.

But the reality is nobody on

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

Wall Street is really paying attention to fundamentals. All they are reacting to is the reaction of other markets around the world — the stock market, the oil market and the bond market.

They are watching for any signs, any shred of news, any comment from an official with power to move markets, that the market funk may finally be nearing an end.

So keep your eye on the market, which is as oversold and scary a place as it has been since the dark days of 2008 and 2009.

Hopefully, a headline will turn things around or at least stop the bleeding.

Wall Street is desperate for good news. And news, by definition, is new information. If the news flow, somehow, some way, can turn positive, there’s a chance the market can enjoy a relief rally that lasts more than a few hours.

Investors are better off going with S&P 500 Q: Is the Nasdaq for suckers?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: If you like more pain and less gain, the Nasdaq is perfect. But if you’re like most investors and like to get paid for your risk, take a pass.

The Nasdaq composite index is now down about 18% from its record high set last July. The Nasdaq is closer to a 20% bear market than any of the three major stock market indexes. The recent declines in the Nasdaq are just a reminder of its off-the-charts risk.

Here’s the problem: There’s no additional gain as a result. The Nasdaq is the second-riskiest mainstream stock asset class investors can buy, just shy of the off-the-charts risk of small stocks in growth mode, Index Fund Advisors says.

The Nasdaq is 45% riskier than the Standard & Poor’s 500, IFA says. But investors get nothing for the added risk. The average annual gain of the Nasdaq since 1966 is just 9.2%, which is nearly 4% less than the S&P 500.

The Nasdaq is a high-octane holding that’s a bum bet for most, even if it’s easy to buy with exchange-traded funds such as the PowerShares QQQ (QQQQ), which owns the most valuable non-financial stocks in the Nasdaq.

Most investors should skip the Nasdaq and just diversify with the S&P 500, which owns all the top Nasdaq stocks — plus, it has exposure to other sectors.

Get paid for your risk.

Morgan Stanley will pay $3.2B in mortgage settlements Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Morgan Stanley has agreed to pay $3.2 billion to settle civil allegations the New York-based bank misled customers about the quality of mortgage-backed securities that soured during the nation’s financial crisis, federal and state officials said Thursday.

The settlements mark the latest in a string of penalties against major banks as the U.S. Department of Justice and state attorneys general complete investiga-

ANDREW GOMBERT, EPA

tions into evidence the financial institutions’ marketing and sales practices helped fuel the crisis.

“Morgan Stanley touted the quality of the lenders with which it did business and the due diligence process it used to screen out bad loans. All the while, Morgan Stanley knew that in reality,

many of the loans backing its securities were toxic,” said acting U.S. Attorney Brian Stretch of California’s northern district.

Morgan Stanley said its previous financial set-asides for the settlements would prevent the payments from affecting the bank’s 2016 earnings. “We are pleased to have finalized these settlements involving legacy residential mortgage-backed securities matters,” the bank said.

The bank in February 2015 said it had reached agreement in principle on a $2.6 billion settlement resolving mortgage-related claims by DOJ’s Civil Division

and federal prosecutors in California. But the settlement, which affected the bank’s fourth-quarter 2014 earnings, wasn’t finalized pending negotiations on documentation of the bank’s conduct.

The new agreements cover the bank’s handling of residential mortgage-backed securities between 2005 and 2007, just before the financial crisis erupted.

A statement of facts issued with the settlements said Morgan Stanley failed to tell investors that some of the mortgages “did not comply with underwriting guidelines” or “had understated loan-to-value ratios.”

Among other things, the statement said a Morgan Stanley official sent a June 2006 email that warning a colleague not to mention that some mortgage securities the bank marketed to investors had “slightly higher risk tolerance.” The official added: “We are running under the radar and do not want to document these types of things.”

The settlement includes $550 million in consumer relief and cash for New York, whose Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman said it would help homeowners avoid foreclosure and spur construction of affordable housing.

Directors: Burr Steers

Downside: It’s a shoddy mess suffering from tired in-jokes and a parade of instantly forgettable A-list cameos.

PARAMOUNT PICTURES

Bad-look ‘Zoolander 2’ creaks down the runway In one of the very few actually funny sequences in Zoolander 2, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson’s imbecilic aging male models are made a mockery at a Rome fashion show by wearing T-shirts that say “I am old” and “I am lame.”

It’s played for generational laughs in the wholly unnecessary sequel to the 2001 cult comedy, but the latter statement is too true for this flailing franchise.

Stiller’s Derek Zoolander (he of the powerful “Blue Steel” and “Magnum” looks) and Wilson’s Hansel (whose signature expression seems to be “Pouty Resting Face”) return for a follow-up of tired in-jokes, a strangely meanspirited family subplot and a parade of forgettable cameos by Alist celebrities. Moviegoers may wish that Will Ferrell’s megalomaniacal supervillain Mugatu had won in the first Zoolander and saved us from another film with these boneheads.

Again directed by Stiller, the sequel (eg stars out of four; rated PG-13; in theaters nationwide Friday) picks up the lives of Derek and Hansel years after the demise of the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too. Derek has lost his wife, and his son has been taken away after a very public incident of poor parenting, and Hansel is having issues on the home front with the “family” he met through an orgy. Both are crippled with insecurities when Billy Zane (as himself ) invites them to a show put on by oddball fashionista Alexanya Atoz MOVIE REVIEW BRIAN TRUITT

WILSON WEBB, PARAMOUNT PICTURES

Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller), Valentina Valencia (Penélope Cruz) and Hansel (Owen Wilson) track a killer in Zoolander 2.

(Kristen Wiig).

While in town, the dynamically dimwitted duo are tracked down

by Interpol agent Valentina (Penélope Cruz) — quite literally the fashion police — and put on the case of why a slew of music stars are being murdered and flashing a signature Derek look as they die.

Derek reconnects with his chubby now-teenage son Derek Jr. (Cyrus Arnold), the subject of a little fatshaming from dear old Dad, and he and Hansel are embroiled in a nonsensical mystery involving the Fountain of Youth and the prison breakout of Mugatu, a welcome sight when he arrives, though not in time to redeem any sort of entertainment value.

Stiller has shown that he’s a superb director, from his debut Reality Bites to the subversive The Cable Guy to the brilliantly satirical Tropic Thunder, yet Zoolander 2 doesn’t even come close. The script is a team effort by Stiller,

Justin Theroux (who returns as Evil DJ), Nicholas Stoller and John Hamburg that doesn’t do anything new or exciting, other than give Hansel a deep respect for Sting’s tantric sex habits. Plus, one movie in which Derek continually struggles with the simplest of words in English is enough; two is the definition of overkill.

Zoolander 2 is modestly successful at crafting memorable fashion-friendly weirdos. Benedict Cumberbatch has a great couple of scenes as All, an androgynous, asexual model who takes flight in the goofier moments. Kyle Mooney, who’s usually right in the middle of Saturday Night Live’s wackier segments, plays a similar role here as Don Atari, a designer with a kooky hipster accent.

As for Derek and Hansel, though, it’s high time they left the catwalk.

Take steps to ensure electrical safety in the home

LINDA A. DITCH Hometown Lawrence

Electricity is an essential element to everyday life. It also is one of the major causes of home fires in the country. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, fire departments respond to approximately 25,900 home electrical fires each year. These fires result in around $1.1 billion in property loss, and worse, 280 deaths and 1,125 injuries.

For peace of mind, consider having a home electrical system inspection by a licensed electrician. Getting your system checked is a good idea if: • Your home is more than 40 years old.

• You have recently renovated your home.

• In the past 10 years you have purchased a new major appliance, such as a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or electric furnace.

• Your lights often dim or flicker.

• You often trip circuit breakers or blow fuses.

• Outlets or light switches are hot to the touch or discolored, or if you hear crackling, sizzling or buzzing noises.

• You use extension cords or power strips throughout the house.

If a problem is found, it doesn’t necessarily mean rewiring the entire house. The solution may be as simple as new switches or circuit breakers.

There are also easy steps homeowners can take to prevent an electrical fire. First, make sure all major appliances (refrigerators, dryers, washers, stoves, air conditioners, etc) are plugged directly into the wall and not an extension cord or power strip.

This rule also applies for small, heatproducing appliances such as a coffee makers, toasters or space heaters. It also is a good idea to unplug these smaller

appliances when not in use.

Lamps, light bulbs, and light fixtures should be kept away from anything that can burn. Plus, make sure the light bulbs are the recommended wattage for the lamp or fixture. You will find a sticker with this information on the socket.

Make sure you don’t overload a wall outlet by plugging in too much stuff, and make sure electrical cords do not run under rugs or carpet or across doorways. Also, don’t overload power strips and be sure to use a strip with internal overload protection.

Extension cords should only be used as a temporary solution. They are not meant for long-term use.

Finally, check to see if ground fault circuit interrupter outlets are installed in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, basements and outdoors. They automatically shut off the electrical circuit to prevent a shock, such as if they come in contact with water. Be sure to

For peace of mind, consider having a home electrical system inspection by a licensed electrician.

test them once a month to make certain they are working. (There is a test and reset button on the outlet.)

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

No easy answer to stop Hield The number 60 is so outrageous next to the word points for a basketball player that many thought Bill Self was kidding when he said it five weeks ago.

He wanted to make sure everyone knew he wasn’t, so he said it again Thursday.

“I’m serious about this,” Self said of Buddy Hield, “if Frank (Mason) had not been on our team, he would have got 60. I mean, he scored, I’d say, 50 percent of the time he touched it when Frank was guarding him. But he didn’t touch it very often. If he’d have gotten 10 more touches, he could have scored 10 more points, easily.”

Mason did such a terrific job of denying Hield the ball that even though the leading national player of the year candidate scored 46 points during Kansas University’s 109-106, tripleovertime victory against Oklahoma, he attempted just four field goals in the second half and scored 11 points, two on a tip-in.

Hield made 6 of 6 second-half free throws, 1 of 2 two-pointers and 1 of 2 three-pointers.

Trying to figure out how to contain Hield raises many possibilities and no easy answers.

Kansas guards Mason and Devonté Graham are entrusted with collapsing defenses on drives to the hoop. It’s an exhausting responsibility that comes with bruises delivered by bigger bodies, but not as tiring as chasing Hield all over the place to try to keep him from receiving passes.

“I don’t think Frank can guard Buddy the whole game,” Self said. “Is Frank more valuable being on the floor, we talked about, even if he’s maybe a little fatigued, than somebody else being fresh out on the floor? We need Frank on the floor for the most part.

So I think we need to sub him smarter, sub him more often for shorter stints, even for 30 seconds here or a minute there. But to say he’s going to lock in on Buddy, that won’t be our game plan going in. That may be the game plan late game in possessions that really matter, but I think we’re going to need him in the game being a little bit more rested offensively the first 30 minutes or so.”

Hield will try to drive when Wayne Selden checks him. If he’s too successful doing that, look for Graham and Mason to take their turns, maybe with relief here and there from Brannen Greene and Svi Mykhailiuk.

“So it could happen, but it probably won’t happen as much as what the obvious person would think, based on how well he defended him the last 25 minutes the other day,” Self said of Mason checking Hield. “It totally gassed him, though.

He was spent.”

Once Hield has the ball, he’s tough to stop without Please see KEEGAN, page 3C

Sure shot

Hard work improved Ellis’ range

KANSAS FORWARD PERRY ELLIS (34) SHOOTS over West Virginia forward Devin Williams (41) during the Jayhawks’ 75-65 win Tuesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas University senior forward Perry Ellis’ shooting from two- and three-point range has been uncanny the last three games.

In wins over Kansas State, TCU and West Virginia, the 6-foot-8 Ellis has hit 22 of 27 two-pointers for 81.5 percent and four of seven threes for 57.1 percent.

Of his two-point accuracy of late Ellis said ThursUP NEXT day: “I would say maybe Who: Kansas I’m attack- (20-4, 8-3) ing the hole vs. Oklahoma a little more, (20-3, 8-3) a little more a g g r e s s i v e When: 1:30 and taking my p.m. Saturtime a little day bit more off Where: Northe dribble. man, Okla.

That could TV: ESPN be something (WOW! due to not channels 33, rushing into 233) it, using my dribble a bit.”

On the season, Ellis, a 53 percent overall shooter, has made 19 of 40 threes for 47.5 percent. All last year, he made 18 of 46 threes for 39.1 percent and overall hit 45.7 percent of his shots.

“This summer, I definitely did (work on perimeter game),” Ellis said. “I tried to get my body and muscle memory get used to taking those shots. That definitely helped me out a lot.”

Junior Piper nears Free State scoring mark

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High junior Madison Piper doesn’t particularly enjoy talking about her individual success on the basketball court.

Piper, last year’s Sunflower League Player of the Year, would much rather turn the attention to her teammates and her team’s attempt to advance to the Class 6A state tournament for the first time in her career.

But by the end of the season, on the wall outside of the school’s main gymnasium, Piper’s name will fill a few prominent spots in the school’s record book.

Piper surpassed 1,000 points in her varsity career during Free State’s victory against Shawnee Mission North on Tuesday. The 5-foot-10 wing is only 37 points away from becoming the school’s all-time leading scorer, set by Kennedy Kirkpatrick (1,046 points) from 2009-13.

“It’s actually pretty exciting because you always think, like, ‘Wow, 1,000 points is so many,’” Piper said. “You finally reach that point and it’s a really great feeling.”

Piper, the daughter of former Kansas University basketball player Chris Piper, had no idea she was even approaching 1,000 points until her grandfather mentioned it to her.

One of the most prolific scorers in the league, Piper has reached double-digit

point totals in 51 of the 59 games in her three-year career.

“Madison is extremely humble,” Free State coach Bryan Duncan said. “She’s a lot more interested in doing things for the team. If anything, she’s probably embarrassed by it. That’s just Madison Piper who she is. But certainly she should be very proud of it, her family and I know we are as a basketball program.

It’s really, really cool.”

McDermott leads Seabury to big win

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Bishop Seabury Academy sophomore Zach McDermott insists he didn’t do anything out of the ordinary before Thursday’s game against Jayhawk-Linn.

He stuck to his normal routine and was on fire for the first quarter. The 6-foot2 point guard scored from everywhere. He ran past

defenders in transition for layups. He hit threes. He knocked down mid-range jumpers. Most importantly, he set the tone for the Seahawks in a 76-55 rout at Dillon Gymnasium.

McDermott scored 14 of his game-high 29 points in the first quarter, helping the Seahawks jump to a 19-6 lead in the first eight minutes.

Manziel future uncertain

By Rick Gosselin

Dallas Morning News

Jerry Jones has always had an eye open for talent.

But he has always closed the other eye to character.

If you have troubles and talent, the Cowboys have always been willing to take you in.

Charles Haley, Alonzo Spellman, Demetrius Underwood, Ryan Leaf, Quincy Carter, Terrell Owens, Tank Johnson, Pacman Jones, Dez Bryant, Greg Hardy. When other teams were backing off of a player, the Cowboys were willing to step up.

That should be a sign to Johnny Manziel that he needs to voluntarily take a step back, remove himself from football and get his life in order.

The Cleveland Browns plan to release him at the first opportunity — March 9, the opening day of the NFL’s fiscal calendar — to rid themselves of the mistake they made in selecting him with a first-round draft pick in 2014. As it turned out his baggage outweighed his ability.

If the Cowboys don’t call Manziel on March 9 to offer him shelter in the storm that is his life, I don’t expect any NFL team to call Manziel.

And I do not expect the Cowboys to call Manziel.

After all the criticism the Cowboys took for signing Hardy on the heels of his domestic abuse issues, I doubt the Cowboys will bring in another player any time soon with those same issues clouding his life and career. I believe Manziel’s drive from Dallas to Fort Worth on the night of Jan. 29 sealed his fate.

No more football any time soon. Get your life straightened out and, succeeding there, attempt to resurrect your football career in 2017, 2018 or 2019 — however long it takes. First Manziel must win the game of life before he can once again think about winning a game of football.

Manziel became a victim of football affleunza. Too much came his way too soon. Beating the mighty Crimson Tide in Alabama, the first freshman ever to win a Heisman Trophy, his face and image plastered on national magazine covers, first-round selection in an NFL draft … He became addicted to the spotlight. The Johnny Football persona overwhelmed the Johnny Manziel reality.

All that made it easy for Manziel to lose perspective.

And he did. He lost the football side of his life. What he did off the field became more important than what he did on the field.

If I never hear his name or see him on the football field again, that’s fine. It’s more important that Johnny Manziel starts winning again off the field than on the field.

Ellis appreciated Hield show Piper

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

It’s been 40 days since the Kansas University men’s basketball team got an up-close look at the greatness that is Oklahoma senior Buddy Hield.

You know the story by now and probably have not forgotten much of it yourself. Forty-six points on 13-of-23 shooting. Eight three-pointers.

Twelve free throws. Eight rebounds. Seven assists.

Fifty-four minutes.

Even at Kansas, where some of the most highly recruited players in the country come to play for one of the most traditionrich programs in the history of college basketball, Hield’s night was one to remember and unlike many — if any — most Jayhawks had ever seen.

While KU players, coaches and fans marveled at the performance of the reigning Big 12 player of the year and soon to be national player of the year following that thrilling, triple-overtime KU victory, one Jayhawk, though impressed, was hardly surprised.

That’s because Perry Ellis had seen Hield unleash similar performances long before he became a star with the Sooners.

Originally from Freeport, Bahamas, Hield moved to the United States in 2010 and began playing high school basketball at Sunrise Christian Academy, a small school in the competitive basketball town of Wichita.

That was where Ellis first remembered hearing about Hield and Ellis said the two first met during their sophomore year at

(27.4) with a 25.7 scoring average.

Self, who almost uses a man-to-man defense with a strong bent on helping, has turned to a triangleand-two defense with some success throughout the years.

Junk defenses only work against teams that have multiple non-scoring threats. Oklahoma, with four scorers in double figures, doesn’t qualify. Zone? Oklahoma leads the nation with a .451 three-point percentage, so so much for that idea.

No easy answers, but the same can be said for Oklahoma in coming up with a plan for trying to slow senior forward Perry Ellis.

In Big 12 games only, Hield leads the conference with a 25.9 scoring average.

Ellis is tied for second with Iowa State’s Georges Niang at 19.5 points per game, so Kansas isn’t the only one with a difficult defensive challenge on its hands.

Big game part II: KU’s Graham is looking forward to Saturday’s 1:30 p.m., battle at Oklahoma, which is a rematch of KU’s 109-106 three-overtime win on Jan. 4 in Allen.

“Last night I was thinking about it kind of all night,” Graham said Thursday. “I was up until 1 o’clock thinking about the game, thinking about last game. Coach tells us to not waste any energy until it’s game time, save it for game time. We need to be happy, be ready for it, energetic, get practice in and get ready.”

Making shots definitely is helping me out,” added Graham, who has 10 threes in 25 tries the last six games.

Unlike Ellis, Graham was not able to work on his trey shooting much last summer because of a partially torn quad above the knee.

“I couldn’t really do anything but stationary jump shots. I couldn’t run, jump,” Graham said.

tice shooting threes from past the NBA three-point line, which is 23 feet, 9 inches, compared to college basketball’s 20-9.

“It helped me just stretch my range, I think,” Ellis said. “At first it wasn’t real comfortable shooting those (NBA) shots. Gradually it started getting better and better.

It worked out.”

When Ellis returned to shooting college threes this season, the distance appeared much, much shorter, in effect an easier shot than last year.

“Definitely,” Ellis said.

“When I first started at the NBA line it seemed so far back I couldn’t even shoot them well until I got used to it. Now it’s really helping,” he added.

Another Jayhawk who is faring well from three is sophomore Devonté Graham, who has made 40 of 94 for 42.6 percent.

Last year, he cashed 17 of 40 for 42.5 percent.

“The coaching staff helped me with it (threes) being confident,” Graham said. “Coach gets on all of us for passing up open shots. If you are open, he wants you to shoot the ball. He instills that confidence in all of us so we play with a free mind, not being hesitant on shots.

It’s been going in for me.

That boosts confidence.

It’s no surprise to her teammates or coaches that she will likely break the school’s scoring record in the next few games.

This season, Piper is averaging 18.7 points per game despite regularly being face-guarded by the opposing team’s best defender. She’s one of the top shooters in the state from anywhere on the court — “There’s no doubt that she has the best shot I’ve ever seen from a high school kid,” Duncan said. When she gets a step past a defender, she has the strength to score inside the paint.

Kirkpatrick, who is averaging 4.2 points per game as a red-shirt sophomore at Bowling Green, knew years ago that Piper might be the player to break her record.

“She used to joke around, ‘You better not beat my record,’ or something like that,” Piper recalled from when they played together during the summer before her freshman year. “So it’s kind of funny now that I have the potential to break it. That’s pretty cool.”

But to say Piper is only a scorer would be saying Michael Jackson was only a dancer. Leading the Firebirds to an 11-4 record and No. 6 ranking in the state, Piper is the team’s top shot blocker.

When she draws multiple defenders on offense, she finds her teammates for open looks.

“Madison is probably the best scorer we ever had, but Madison is also going to break the assist record,” Duncan said. “I think she’s an even better passer than scorer and
